Chapter 338 Monster Meat, So Nourishing!
There is no doubt that cultivators love the meat of demon beasts, all because the meat contains spiritual energy. The higher the level of the demon beast, the more spiritual energy it contains. Moreover, the spiritual energy contained in the meat of demon beasts can be directly absorbed and stored by cultivators, unlike the spiritual energy absorbed during cultivation, which requires circulation and transformation before it can be stored.
Just think about it, who would refuse a way to satisfy their appetite and increase their spiritual energy storage? Wouldn't it be foolish to refuse?
The reason why the Ren family is so accepting of demonic beasts is because of their experiences and the blows they suffered. Their fragile hearts became strong, and after their mindset changed, it became natural for them to accept new things.
Besides, since they arrived in the valley, they had eaten monster meat several times. The first time they tasted it, they almost swallowed their tongues. The taste was indescribable, and in short, it left them with an unforgettable aftertaste.
At this moment, upon hearing that there would be a grand feast tonight, and with such a massive demonic beast at that, how could everyone not go crazy?
Upon hearing Wenwen's shout, the two small teams catching insects in the orchard rushed towards the bamboo courtyard.
A dozen or so children, big and small, were making a racket and rushed towards the kitchen. Even just squatting at the door to smell the aroma would be fine. Several children, in particular, sat at the door and stood guard, peeking inside every now and then. After looking inside, they would drool and chat amongst themselves.
Not only them, but the group of people on the back hill also came home when they saw the smoke coming from the kitchen.
Wen Chengbin took the lead and ran ahead. When he returned to the bamboo courtyard, he heard several voices as soon as he approached the kitchen.
"Oh my god, this life is so good."
"That's right, we have chicken soup for lunch and a snake meat feast for dinner."
"This life is so wonderful, so amazing!"
"Life is so beautiful, and we are so lovely!"
Ah, the kitchen!
"My favorite!"
"Hahaha......"
Several children took turns reciting the short passage, adding gestures and movements, just like giving a speech. In the end, they even made themselves laugh, giggling non-stop.
Not only them, but everyone present who heard these words was delighted.
The older girls closest to the children would nudge each other's shoulders and pat each other a couple of times, all covering their mouths and giggling.
While Wenwen laughed, she was secretly thinking to herself that these kids learned to speak too fast. She had only said some of the words once, but they not only learned the essence of them, but also changed the words, and the changed words even rhymed quite well. What a bunch of clever little devils!
The women in the kitchen, hearing the children's antics at the door, were amused but didn't stop working. Nothing is more comforting than seeing family and children laughing and joking.
The elders and Master Zhou, who were further away, could only smile helplessly at the children's exclamations. Although the children's words were a bit out of place, they were true. Life was indeed beautiful, with hardship followed by sweetness, and they had no way to refute it.
This beautiful scene could have lasted longer, allowing people to enjoy themselves a little longer, but there was one person who was always finding fault and couldn't stand Wen Chengmo being smug.
"Fifth brother, I heard that the Grand Elder punished you by not allowing you to eat lunch. Well, you even secretly drank chicken soup. Tell me honestly, where did the chicken soup come from?"
Gah!
Wen Chengbin's words shattered the cheerful atmosphere.
Wen Chengmo's eyes widened, his pupils darting around, and after a few moments, he answered, "Second Brother, can you guess?"
That was incredibly playful, and it even had that "what can you do about it?" look on its face.
"Hey, you've gotten quite the brat, daring to challenge me now," Wen Chengbin teased, looking at his younger brother's smug expression. "Fifth brother, you're already ten years old, still hanging out with kids, isn't that inappropriate? Why don't you leave the kids and join your second brother's group? Your second brother promises you a meal of bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork every noon, how about that???"
Upon hearing the words "bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork," all the Wen family children tensed up, and upon closer inspection, their little bottoms shifted slightly. Only Ren Jinning asked with an adorable expression.
"Second cousin, you don't have to eat bamboo shoots and pork every day. It gets tiring if you eat it too often. It's fine to eat it every three to five days."
After saying that, he turned back to comfort Wen Chengmo, "Fifth cousin, right?"
Wen Chengmo was speechless...
It's not good to wait three to five days. You silly boy, you don't even know how to stir-fry bamboo shoots with meat. You're wasting the Ren family's good genes.
You think this is a dish? This is like being covered in rattan!
Wen Chengmo glanced at Ren Jinning and silently made up his mind that he had to take good care of this cousin. How could he integrate into everyone's life if he couldn't communicate well? So what if he was a little slow? He would just have to put in some effort.
Wen Chengmo gritted his teeth and replied, "Cousin Ning is right."
After saying that, he turned to the kitchen and said, "Mother, my second brother wants to eat stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork."
Now that everyone's been called out, Ye Shi, who was busy in the kitchen, spoke in a cool voice, "Second Brother, there's no time to order now. Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll cook a separate dish for you two brothers, a very generous portion."
quack quack!
A flock of crows flew overhead.
None of the children in the yard dared to misbehave; they all quieted down.
Madam Ren's voice came from the kitchen, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help clear the table and serve the dishes. You've been catching bugs all day, aren't you hungry? Xia'er, quickly take your younger brother and sister to wash their hands."
"Hey, here it comes, here it comes."
"Come on, let's go wash our hands."
"Get up quickly, you don't need to guard the door anymore, you'll be able to eat soon."
"Hehehe, hurry up, hurry up."
If you listen closely, you can also hear a few slurping sounds.
After taking their seats, everyone looked at the table full of delicious food in front of them, with various cooking methods such as braised, stir-fried, and steamed dishes, and their mouths watered.
The elder said a few words and was about to start eating when Wen Qilin and Wen Qiyuan, two lucky people, arrived at the house.
"Hey, eldest brother, second brother, what brings you back? We were just thinking of bringing you some food tonight. It's good you're back, no need to bring it anymore, everyone, let's eat."
So, besides the sounds of chewing, there was also a chorus of exclamations in the dining room.
"Wow, this is delicious! I'm afraid I'll bite my tongue."
"Hey, try dipping it in some salt and pepper, it tastes amazing."
"After drinking this soup, I always feel warm in my lower abdomen."
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's your stomach that's warm, not your lower abdomen. You're always spouting fancy words."
"Hehe, it's an exaggeration, an exaggeration of language, you know?"
"Even if it's exaggerated, we can't be alarmist. Let's tone it down."
Actually, this isn't an exaggeration.
After the meal, Wenxia felt full of energy, as if she was about to break through to a higher level, but she wasn't quite sure.
Wen Chengbin felt the same way as her.
With the same idea in mind, the two grabbed Wenwen and ran towards the back mountain without saying a word.
Seeing their situation, Wenwen understood.
Upon reaching the back of the mountain, the three separated and each entered a cave to quickly enter a meditative state for cultivation.
