"Deep-fried green beans are crunchy and definitely better than boiled ones."

Li Heng put the fried bean paste back into the basket and handed it to the two kids.

"Hehe, Brother Li Heng, you eat first."

Lu Xiaoxiao took the basket, but didn't rush to eat. Instead, she sensibly invited Li Heng to eat first.

"Not bad, not bad! My love for you guys is finally not in vain!"

Li Heng showed a relieved smile and reached out to grab two fried bean pastes.

"I'll just taste it, you can eat the rest!"

In Li Heng's view, this thing is just a dish to go with wine, but he doesn't like drinking, so he is not very interested in it.

After the two kids exchanged polite words with Li Heng, they took their baskets and went to eat aside.

Li Heng returned to the recliner and began to daydream.

Having already eaten glutinous rice cakes at noon, he planned to make rice dumplings in the evening.

When mentioning glutinous rice balls, he naturally thought of the Lantern Festival, but unfortunately there was no such festival in Xuanwu Continent.

However, this traditional Chinese festival reminded him of another special day.

A 'festival' that belongs exclusively to Li Heng, which is his birthday.

I still remember that last time, on Song Qingfeng’s birthday, Li Heng even prepared a birthday party for him.

He could be said to be the person who gained the most at that banquet. Not only did he get to know a number of bigwigs, but he also got a lot of good things from them.

"Should I give myself a whole birthday party too?"

Li Heng talked to himself while stroking his smooth chin with his hand.

"I don't know if it's too late. Have we already missed the time?"

He sat up, counted the date on his fingers, and found that his birthday was three days later.

"Luckily, today, I thought of this because I wanted to eat glutinous rice balls. Otherwise, I would have missed it."

Whether in his previous life or this life, Li Heng rarely cared about his birthday.

He had never even eaten his own birthday cake.

In his previous life, his parents would at most give him a birthday red envelope on his birthday. Over time, he started to take this matter lightly.

As for this life, it was even more miserable, because before he came here, the parents of this body had already passed away, and no one even mentioned birthdays.

Coincidentally, Li Heng’s birthday is also the first anniversary of his arrival in Xuanwu Continent.

That’s right, he came to Xuanwu Continent in a daze on his birthday.

Theoretically speaking, this day is also the anniversary of his death in his previous life.

The last time, on the seventh day after his crossing, Li Hengben planned to commemorate the occasion with a barbecue.

But in the end, he was snatched away by the greedy Lu Xiaoxiao.

This is the first anniversary and also his birthday, such a good day, Li Heng feels it is necessary to celebrate it properly.

It would be best to invite all his acquaintances to come and have a good time.

I have to make a big birthday cake by then...

"It's been a while since I had dinner with the big guys. I kind of miss it when I think about it!"

"But I have to discuss this matter with Sister Jiang first. After all, I need to borrow her territory, and I have to trouble her to send someone to deliver the letter."

Li Heng thought, if Jiang Mei didn't agree, then he could only go back to Xiaochu Peak first.

"Brother Li Heng, it's getting dark, isn't it time to make dinner?"

The voices of the two little ones interrupted Li Heng's thoughts. When he came to his senses, he found that it was already evening.

While he was daydreaming, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

"Well, it's almost time, let's go to the kitchen!"

Li Heng suppressed his inner thoughts for the moment, put away the recliner, and went to the kitchen.

"Brother Li Heng, are we still going to eat glutinous rice cakes tonight?"

After Xiao Chi followed Li Heng into the kitchen, he saw him take out glutinous rice flour again, so he became curious.

"That's so unoriginal! Let's have glutinous rice balls tonight."

While answering Xiao Chi, Li Heng had already started kneading the dough.

This process is no different from making glutinous rice cake at noon.

Still pour boiling water first, stir the flour into flocs with chopsticks, and then knead it into a smooth dough with your hands.

The next steps begin to differentiate it from making glutinous rice cake.

When making glutinous rice balls, people usually put some fillings inside, just like making dumplings.

The most common filling is black sesame filling.

What else is there: red bean paste filling, chocolate filling, jujube paste filling...

Li Heng had the honor of eating it several times, but the one he ate most was the one with black sesame filling.

Of course, glutinous rice balls without fillings can also be eaten.

The only thing is that in terms of taste, it’s not as rich as the glutinous rice balls with fillings.

What Li Heng planned to make tonight was black sesame dumplings. As for other fillings, it was not that he was unwilling to make them, but he just lacked the raw materials.

There were no red beans or dates, and although there was no ready-made chocolate, he did have some cocoa nuts.

It seems that they came across this thing by chance in a forest when they were out looking for food when they were still in Tianyi Sect.

But it’s definitely too late to make chocolate now.

At this stage, the only ingredient Li Heng has that is suitable for making stuffing is black sesame seeds.

The reason why he always stocks some sesame seeds is because sesame seeds are a very common seasoning and are used in many dishes.

In addition, sesame can also be used to make sesame oil. Like sesame, sesame oil is also a commonly used condiment.

In fact, in addition to the ones mentioned above, Li Heng has also heard of a kind of glutinous rice balls stuffed with fresh meat, but he has only heard of it.

He couldn't imagine what the combination of fresh meat and glutinous rice flour would taste like.

It seemed that this was not a taste he would like, so Li Heng did not plan to do so.

While my mind was thinking about other things, my hands were not idle either.

He took out more than 100 kilograms of black sesame seeds from his ring and poured them into the basin.

Wash several times with water to remove dust from the surface of sesame seeds.

After washing, drain the water and then pour directly into the pan and dry-fry.

First turn on high heat to dry the moisture on the surface of the black sesame seeds, then turn to low heat and slowly fry the black sesame seeds until they are cooked and fragrant.

After frying for about four or five minutes, crackling sounds began to come from the pan.

This is the sound of sesame seeds popping when heated, just like popcorn. Once they are fried to this state, you can turn off the heat.

Roasted black sesame seeds, set aside.

Then Li Heng added a few ounces of peanuts into the pot and fried them in the same way.

I got these peanuts from Tieming a long time ago.

As a wine lover, it is reasonable for him to always have some snacks with him.

Usually, some peanut butter is added when making glutinous rice balls with black sesame filling. However, Li Heng did not have many peanuts in his hand, only enough for more than ten people.

So today, other disciples of the Lingzhi Sect can only eat the simplified version of black sesame dumplings.

The fried black sesame seeds and peanuts are ground into black sesame paste and peanut butter respectively using a meat grinder.

This meat grinder that "burns" spirit stones had been used by Li Heng before when he was making fish tofu.

Next, pour the two sauces into a bowl, with the sesame sauce accounting for a slightly larger proportion.
