I Can See Through All Things' Information-Chapter 542 - 350: Supreme Delicacy, Sword Talisman

"Young Master Lu actually made so much braised pork?"

Mrs. Wei looked at the bright red, glossy pieces of meat with some surprise.

"Madam, did you say this is braised pork?" Wei Xinghe asked, "How come it doesn’t quite look the same as the one made in our house?"

"The dishes made by Young Master Lu are always quite different from others’, our house’s cooks can never achieve such a shiny, reddish color for the meat."

Mrs. Wei said with some regret.

Two or three years ago, she was rescued by Lu Qing from the mountains, and after coming to Jiuli Village, the first meal she ate included braised pork.

She had never forgotten that taste.

Later she also asked Lu Qing for the recipe but somehow, the cooks in the house could never make the meat look as good as Lu Qing’s, and even the taste was somewhat inferior.

"It must be because of the seasonings." the elder doctor said with a smile, "Ah Qing always loves to concoct some unique seasonings, so maybe that’s why it tastes different."

"It must be; the thing called ’soy sauce’ in the recipe Young Master Lu gave our cooks, they could never quite figure it out."

"I remember Ah Qing made quite a lot before, the madam could ask him for some at some point."

During their casual conversation, dish after dish continuously arrived.

Steamed fish, white-cut chicken, stir-fried beef, mutton soup...

One after another, the dishes were placed on the table, offering a variety of flavors.

Not only were they neatly presented, but also in generous portions.

After all the dishes had been served, two villagers brought up a large steamer.

The steamer was steaming hot, sending out strands of fragrance.

Which made those who smelled it feel a sudden sense of clarity, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"This aroma..."

Wei Xinghe and Wei Shanhai looked at the steamer in surprise.

As Innate Realm Experts, the fragrance they had just smelled actually made them feel lighter, and even the True Qi within their bodies started circulating a bit faster.

What was being steamed inside that could enhance the cultivation of such experts by the mere scent.

Before Wei Shanhai and the others could inquire, the villager carrying the steamer revealed the answer.

They opened the lid of the steamer, and inside was a basket of sparkling clear, well-defined grains of rice that were perfectly steamed.

What’s more peculiar was that, within the translucent whiteness of the rice, there were hints of golden glimmer, making it look quite attractive.

"This is the Spirit Rice that Ah Qing planted a while ago. He just thought to invite everyone to try the Spiritual Rice he harvested yesterday."

The elder doctor said cheerfully.

Yesterday, when Lu Qing was husking the Spirit Grain, he had already seen what Spirit Rice looked like, so he was not surprised now.

"This is the Spirit Rice that Young Master Lu has been busy planting recently?"

Wei Xinghe stared at the rice in the steamer with wide eyes.

Having resided in the separate residence for several months, he was naturally aware of Lu Qing’s planting of the Spirit Grain.

But he didn’t expect the Spirit Rice to look like this after being husked.

"Doctor Chen, have you eaten this Spirit Rice before?" Wei Shanhai asked.

"Not yet; joy shared with others is more enjoyable. I think it’s more delightful to taste the Spirit Rice together with everyone."

"Then I must try and see what this Spirit Rice tastes like."

Upon hearing this, Wei Shanhai and the others looked forward even more to the taste of the Spirit Rice.

In the courtyard, after all the dishes were served, Lu Qing held up a cup of drink and said aloud:

"Fellow villagers, since the passing of my parents, Little Yan and I have owed much to everyone’s protection and care, which has allowed us to endure through those most difficult times.

Ah Qing and Little Yan have always wanted to host a proper feast for everyone but could never find the right opportunity.

Yesterday, my cultivated Spirit Grain had a modest harvest.

So I took this opportunity to invite everyone over for a simple meal.

Later on, please don’t be polite, just let your appetite go.

Today, there’s plenty of drink and enough food for all!"

The crowd looked at Lu Qing holding his cup, tall and poised, standing there with extraordinary demeanor.

They all felt deeply moved.

Especially the elders like Old Master Zhang, their eyes became warm.

That scrawny young boy who struggled even to survive, had finally achieved great things.

"Alright, everyone, please don’t be shy, start picking up your chopsticks."

Lu Qing drained the cup of wine in his hands.

Seeing this, everyone else stopped being courteous and prepared to eat.

But even as they began to eat, the young people at each table waited for the elders to start before picking up their dishes.

The first thing everyone went for was the braised pork.

There was no helping it; the braised pork’s red and glossy appearance was too tempting.

Few could resist such a delectable temptation.

A villager picked up a piece of red-braised pork with a good mix of fat and lean and put it into his mouth, and then the next moment, his eyes widened.

He found that the lean meat wasn’t dry, the fatty meat melted in his mouth, tender, and sweet, with a rich meaty flavor.

The rich taste spread in his mouth and was simply too delightful for words.

He could say he had never eaten such delicious meat in his life.

"How did Ah Qing make this meat, why is it so delicious?"

"Pork can be made this tasty? It’s even better than beef or mutton!"

Other villagers who had tasted the braised pork also widened their eyes in amazement.

They were astounded by the flavor of this braised pork.

"This braised pork is indeed very different from what we have at our house."

Inside the house, Wei Xinghe also exclaimed.

"Young Master Lu’s cooking skills have improved even more."

Wei Shanhai tasted a piece of the meat and expressed his admiration.

As he often paid visits to Half Mountain Small Courtyard and sometimes stayed for meals.
