PDLP Chapter 209 Shelter from the Wind
Chapter 209 Shelter from the Wind
Early the next morning.
Yun Ci dressed neatly in her new clothes, opened the door, and a cold wind immediately blew into her neck, dissipating much of the warmth she had just felt from the blankets.
At this moment, Yun Ci wanted to sprint back to bed at top speed, lie down under the covers, and never come out again!
The noise and voices outside the courtyard drifted into the courtyard.
Yun Ci walked over and opened the door, stepping aside to greet the crowd at the entrance. "Everyone, come in and wait."
The crowd outside, rubbing their hands in the cold, immediately rushed into the courtyard.
After the disciples from each peak entered, they saw that Yun Ci had not prepared any food, so they went to find a place to sit on the benches to the side.
The bench was against the wall and didn't get in the way, so Yun Ci didn't put it away.
Yun Ci took out the table and chairs and had Da Zong and Er Zong arrange them neatly.
"The weather is getting colder and colder."
"Yes, the wind is much stronger today than yesterday..."
"I was woken up by the cold last night."
"I can't even concentrate while meditating, it's so cold..."
Yun Ci overheard the chatter of several disciples from the Discipline Hall not far away and suddenly remembered that he possessed the Purple Jade Sky-Shielding Umbrella.
It can keep out the rain, so it should also block the wind, right?
Thinking of this, Yun Ci took out the Purple Jade Sky-Shielding Umbrella from her storage ring, excitedly telling the umbrella in her hand to grow bigger, become transparent, and cover the courtyard to keep the cold wind out...
After Yun Ci finished describing it, the Purple Jade Sky-Covering Umbrella flew over and nuzzled Yun Ci's frostbitten cheeks before flying into the air.
Looking at the courtyard sheltered by the purple jade canopy, Yun Ci, her face reddened by the wind, revealed a look of surprise.
Sure enough, not a breath of wind blew in!
Everyone noticed it and marveled at the umbrella's ingenious use.
Some disciples who were meditating with their eyes closed gradually relaxed their furrowed brows from the cold.
"As expected of a top-grade spiritual artifact, this umbrella is truly amazing!"
"It can actually understand Yun Ci's words; perhaps a spirit has already emerged within it."
"Using a top-grade spiritual artifact for shelter from the wind is truly a waste of its potential..."
"Yun Ci is happy to do it, it's none of your business."
"Can't I just say it?"
"No."
"you!"
"..."
Yun Ci put the pork buns, beef buns, soup dumplings, and xiaolongbao that Da Zong, Er Zong, and Xiao Hongbao had prepared yesterday into a large pot to steam.
He then went to a large cauldron and threw the Crimson Firestone into it, infusing it with spiritual energy.
Big Palm carried the shovel over and poured the clear well water into the pot.
"Alright, that's enough," Yun Ci said, standing to the side.
Upon hearing Yun Ci's words, Da Zong put the bucket down, and Yun Ci put the pot lid on.
Yun Ci took out the seasonings from her storage ring and placed them on the long table.
The bowls and chopsticks next to him were also set out by Erzong.
Yun Ci took out a pen and went to the wooden shelf, where she began to scribble and write.
The disciples from the sect nearby immediately gathered around to watch Yun Ci write the menu.
The female cultivators standing together stared at Yun Ci's fluffy head, wishing they could immediately go up and rub it.
A female cultivator stood beside Yun Ci, and from her angle, she could see Yun Ci's slightly chubby face and curled eyelashes...
As Yun Ci wrote, she seemed to have a sudden realization, and turned her head to reveal a smile.
The female cultivator exclaimed, "!!!"
Today's menu.
Five steamed buns, 1 spirit stone
Pork buns: 2 spirit stones each
Beef bun: 3 spirit stones each
Pork Xiao Long Bao (steamed dumplings): 3 Spirit Stones per steamer (7 dumplings per steamer)
Soup dumplings: 3 spirit stones per steamer (5 dumplings per steamer)
*Special Offer! Fresh Pork Wontons - 3 Spirit Stones per Bowl (Today we have dried shrimp and seaweed available in the condiment area; add according to your taste)
Yesterday, some fellow disciples who accepted the mission came to me to register. At 1:00 PM, I took everyone to the Immortal Field Valley.
"Wei Shi (1-3 PM), that's still several hours away."
"A disciple from the outer sect of Lingzhi Peak said."
"We don't have classes today, so let's not go back. After breakfast, let's find a place to meditate near Yunci Courtyard, and then get up around 1-3 PM to have lunch."
"A disciple from the outer sect of Beast Taming Peak said to his friend beside him."
"Only three spirit stones for wontons today?"
"Great, I can finally buy a bowl of fresh pork wontons to try."
"Soup dumplings? Waaaaah, this is amazing! Yun Ci finally made soup dumplings again!!!"
"The last time I had soup dumplings was at a street stall. I've been craving them for so long."
"Me too! I want five baskets, no, ten baskets!"
What are soup dumplings?
"Yes, what is soup dumplings? Every name of the food Yun Ci sells sounds so interesting."
"Are soup dumplings really that delicious? Why are those people so excited?"
"I don't know, I've never eaten it..."
"It's really delicious! But be careful when you eat it, the soup inside is plentiful, hot, and fragrant..."
"I have a method. First, bite a small hole in the skin; it's translucent. Then drink the soup inside..."
Listening to the disciple from the Alchemy Peak vividly describe how to eat it, the people around them only felt hungrier as they listened.
*
The water boiled in no time.
The first person in the line was a disciple from the Weapon Refining Peak. He looked at Yun Ci excitedly and said, "I want a bowl of fresh pork wontons, two beef buns, a steamer of pork xiaolongbao, and three steamers of soup dumplings."
"Okay, Erzong, take a plate and put two beef buns in it, and a steamer of pork dumplings in it. Xiaohong, take three steamers of soup dumplings in it."
As Yun Ci spoke, she took out several more steamers of soup dumplings and placed them on the small table for Xiao Bai and the baby to eat.
Then he put the small wontons into the pot one by one. He and the two little ones hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he put in a lot of wontons.
The small wontons tumbled and danced in the boiling water.
"Here you go. The wontons will have to wait a bit. Here's the steamed bun for you. There's a small bowl and condiments next to it," Yun Ci reminded him.
The disciple from the Refining Peak couldn't help but swallow hard as he looked at the crystal-clear soup dumplings.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll eat first, just call me when it's ready."
As he spoke, the disciple from the Weapon Refining Peak eagerly took the steamed bun and sat down in the nearest seat.
He carefully picked up a soup dumpling with his chopsticks.
The soup dumplings were filled with a lot of broth, and when he picked them up, they formed a teardrop shape. Afraid of dropping them, he immediately used a small bowl to catch them.
He first tentatively took a small bite; the skin of the soup dumpling was very thin.
My upper lip was scalded by the soup that flowed out, but the soup was extremely delicious.
I took a few small sips, and when it wasn't so hot anymore, I bit the skin into a bigger piece, and all the soup inside immediately flowed out.
The disciple from the Alchemy Peak immediately tilted his head back and drank the oily soup floating in the small bowl, then stuffed the bun skin with meat inside into his mouth.
This bite was incredibly satisfying!
"It's so delicious!"
Then, he carefully picked up the second soup dumpling...
Gudong.
Gudong.
goo-dong...
Those around him watched him eat, smelled the aroma, and saw the soup flowing out of the buns, constantly swallowing their saliva.
