The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 863: Eating With Ji Yuan

Bai Xifeng was tired, but she still wanted to eat. She did not want to go to the cafeteria because the food there was not suit for her palate. The food at the restaurant was quite good, but the price was too high. She wanted to save up her points to use the cultivation pagoda. So, the only way was to cook.

"Teacher Ji, do you have a kitchen here?" Bai Xifeng asked Ji Yuan, who was about to leave.

"Kitchen?" Ji Yuan raised his eyebrow. "Why?"

"Well, I want to borrow it to cook something. The food at the cafeteria tastes awful. I can not eat that." Bai Xifeng shook her head as she remembered the taste.

"Then, you can go to the restaurant." Ji Yuan said.

"Even though the food at the restaurant is not that awful but it is so expensive. I don’t have much point to begin with. Why do I have to waste it on something like that?" Bai Xifeng said.

Ji Yuan was dumbfounded. As a cultivator, he did not have to eat as much food as a normal human being. He also did not care about the taste of the food. He could as eaten the fasting pill. So, he did not quite understand why Bai Xifeng was worked up like that. But the place did have a kitchen.

"The kitchen is over there. You can go and take a look." Ji Yuan pointed in one direction.

Bai Xifeng looked over. She had not gone there. So, there was a kitchen.

"Thank you, Teacher Ji. I will go and cook something. I will bring the food to you later." Bai Xifeng waved her hand and rushed over.

"You look so tired just now. You recover so fast." Ji Yuan commented when he saw Bai Xifeng running around like that.

Bai Xifeng entered the area. The building was indeed a kitchen. She was surprised to see how clean it was. She thought it would be dirty and dusty since no one used this place.

Well, it was lucky. She did not have to clean the kitchen and used it directly. So, she took out the ingredients to cook.

’Let me out.’ Tao-chan said.

’Why?’ Bai Xifeng asked.

’I want to watch you cook. Well, you have to take me out since I want to eat your food. You don’t forget about me, right?’ Tao-chan stated.

’Fine... Fine... Come out.’ Bai Xifeng gave permission to Tao-chan to come out.

Her other contracted beasts preferred to stay in the Mirror World because the Qi in the Mirror was denser compared to outside. They also preferred the beast pills compared to the food. Only Tao-chan wanted to eat and stay outside.

Bai Xifeng began to cook. She wanted to eat fried rice with Kung Pao Chicken. She started prepping the ingredients for Kung Pao Chicken first. She cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes. Then, she mixed with cornstarch, water and sesame oil.

"Oh, I want to put the cashew nut too." Bai Xifeng mumbled to herself.

She took out cashew nuts and put them into the pan. She toasted them until it turned light brown. She took them out and put them aside first. Then, she began to prepare the sauce. Light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, black rice vinegar, Shaoxing rice wine, sugar, cornstarch and water were put in a bowl. She mixed everything. She dipped his finger into the sauce and tasted it.

"Hmm... Perfect." Bai Xifeng said.

It was time to stir everything. The wok was heated. She put the oil into the wok. Then, she put the dried chillies & Sichuan pepper. She kept stirring to avoid the burning. After she sensed the fragrance of the spices, she put the marinated chicken into the wok. She stirred them. Then, she added scallions, garlic & ginger.

She stirred them again. After that, she poured the sauce into the wok. She stirred them again to make sure all of the chicken was covered with the sauce. She put out the fire. Lastly, she put in the cashew nuts. She stirred it once again. And it was done.

She put the dish on the bowl. To avoid Tao-chan from stealing it, she immediately put the dish in a storage rune.

Then, she began to prepare the fried rice. She just cooked a simple fried rice. White rice, cooked and chilled, the eggs, lightly beaten, scallions & garlic, finely chopped, light soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, white pepper and some vegetables. It was done.

"I want to eat now," Tao-chan said.

"I want to invite Teacher Ji to eat together." Bai Xifeng said.

So, she put the fried rice into the storage rune and went to see Ji Yuan. Tao-chan jumped onto her shoulder. She went to the building where Ji Yuan spent his time. She knocked on the door.

"What is it?" Ji Yuan’s voice came from inside.

"Teacher Ji... I cook some simple dish. Let’s eat together." Bai Xifeng said.

"It’s fine. You can eat. I don’t need it." Ji Yuan answered.

"It is not fun to eat alone, Teacher Ji. I also want you to taste my cooking. Come on, Teacher Ji. Teacher Ji..." Bai Xifeng wanted to say more when the door was opened.

Ji Yuan stood in front of Bai Xifeng.

"Teacher Ji..." Bai Xifeng grinned.

"Let’s eat now," Ji Yuan said. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Yes... Yes... I am sure that you will like my cooking." Bai Xifeng nodded.
