My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1054 Forgetting

The delicious food they carefully prepared not only won the favor of customers, but also allowed them to grow and gain insights during this difficult time.

After arriving at the scene, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing always conduct a careful inspection to determine the cause of the fault. Then, they will quickly develop a maintenance plan, divide the work and cooperate tacitly. Zhou Xing is usually responsible for high-altitude operations. He is agile, bold and careful. Even on a pole tens of meters high, he can complete the task steadily. Ling Xue is responsible for ground support. She knows the circuit system well and can quickly find the problem and repair it.

In addition to their busy work, they also have their own little fun. During lunch time, they will find a quiet corner, enjoy a simple lunch box, exchange their experiences, and occasionally talk about some memories before their ascension, and those bits and pieces about the world of cultivation.

In the evening, when the sky gradually darkened and the street lights came on, they finished their work for the day, packed up their tools, and returned to the small office. Here, they are not only colleagues, but also partners who support each other. Although the life of a power repair worker is full of challenges and difficulties, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing both understand that this is part of their journey to overcome the tribulation, and every difficulty they overcome is an opportunity for them to improve their cultivation.

As night falls, they sit in meditation in their simple dormitories, adjust their breathing, and condense their true qi. In this modern world, they silently guard the lights of thousands of homes as power repair workers, while also adhering to their persistent pursuit of the way of cultivation in their hearts.

The two found an ideal fishing spot near a rocky area where the current was fast and fish liked to gather. They helped each other put the prepared bait on the hook and then skillfully cast the fishing line into the sea. With the slight buzz of the reel, the bait slowly sank into the water, waiting for the moment when the fish would take the bait.

During this process, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing chatted from time to time, sharing their sea fishing experiences and interesting stories. They talked about the big fish they had encountered and those unforgettable sea fishing trips. The sun shone on them, warm and comfortable, and the seagulls circled in the sky, making crisp calls. The whole scene seemed peaceful and harmonious.

As time went by, the two gradually got into the state, focusing on the movement under the water. Every time a fish tried the bait, their heartbeats would speed up, nervous and excited. When the fish were successfully caught, they would smile with satisfaction, congratulate each other, and enjoy the joy from nature.

Ling Xue and Zhou Xing stood at the door of the breakfast shop, welcoming customers who came to taste the delicious food. The shop was filled with fragrant smells, and various breakfasts such as wontons, noodles, and rice noodles were placed on the counter, waiting for diners to choose.

Ling Xue skillfully picked up a handful of noodles and put them into the boiling pot to cook. Her movements were smooth and quick, as if she had repeated them countless times. After the noodles were cooked, she fished them out, poured rich toppings such as beef, pork, and ribs, sprinkled some chopped green onions and coriander, and a bowl of steaming noodles was ready.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xing was busy making rice noodles. He poured the rice paste into the steamer and spread it evenly on the steamer with his skilled technique. After a few minutes, thin layers of rice noodles were ready. Zhou Xing cut the rice noodles into thin strips, then put them into a bowl, added various meat and vegetable toppings, and finally poured hot soup on it. A bowl of delicious rice noodles was presented to the customer.

In addition to noodles and rice noodles, the store also offers a variety of other breakfast options. Ling Xue skillfully wraps buns one by one and steams them in a steamer. Zhou Xing is responsible for frying the fried dough sticks. He kneads the dough into strips and then fries them in hot oil until they are golden and crispy. Ling Xue personally grinds the soy milk by soaking soybeans and grinding them into soy milk, then adds the right amount of sugar to provide customers with a cup of sweet and delicious soy milk.

During the breaks in the breakfast shop, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing would also communicate with each other. They would taste each other's food and give each other encouragement and advice. Their tacit cooperation and mutual support made the operation of the breakfast shop smoother and also made customers feel the warmth of home.

This breakfast shop is not only the livelihood of Ling Xue and Zhou Xing, but also a part of their journey through the eighty-one tribulations. Through running the breakfast shop, they learned to cooperate with each other, support each other, and face difficulties and challenges together. This breakfast shop has become an important node on their path of cultivation, and it is also a place where they grow and progress together.

In this special time of overcoming difficulties, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing enhanced their mutual understanding and friendship through their common hobbies and passion for sea fishing. Their tacit cooperation and mutual support at sea also indicate that they will be able to work together and overcome difficulties together when facing future challenges.

In the 52nd level of the 81 tribulations, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing transformed into fruit farmers named Ling Xue and Zhou Xing. They run a lush orchard in a picturesque valley, with apples, cherries, blueberries, kiwis and other fruits planted in the orchard, forming a colorful pastoral painting.

In the 61st level of the tribulation, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing transformed into a couple, jointly running a night market barbecue restaurant located in a busy street in a northeastern city. This barbecue restaurant is well-known locally for its rich dishes, unique flavors and friendly service.

As night fell, neon lights began to flicker, and the shops on both sides of the street were brightly lit and bustling with people. In front of Ling Xue and Zhou Xing's barbecue restaurant, simple folding tables were neatly placed, and plastic chairs surrounded the tables. Guests sat around them, enjoying the delicious food at night.

Inside the store, the smell of charcoal fire intertwined with the aroma of various spices, floating in the air, arousing the appetite of passers-by. Ling Xue was busy shuttling back and forth in front of the grill, holding a long-handled iron shovel, turning the mutton, beef and chicken on the skewers. The fat on the skewers dripped onto the charcoal fire, making a crackling sound, and the firelight reflected her focused face.

Zhou Xingze was in charge of receiving the guests. He had a friendly smile and spoke with the boldness of a Northeastern person. He skillfully wrote down the dishes ordered by each guest, and then loudly conveyed the information to Ling Xue to ensure that every order was completed accurately.

Ling Xue and Zhou Xing work in perfect harmony. Whenever Ling Xue grills a skewer of meat, Zhou Xing will appear in time to deliver it to the guests' table. In their spare time, the two will exchange a knowing look or a brief conversation, and their support and encouragement for each other are self-evident.

Although it was just a simulation of a tribulation, in this virtual world, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing seemed to have really become life partners. They experienced the warmth and happiness of ordinary life in the atmosphere of fireworks, and also enhanced their understanding and trust with each other when facing difficulties and challenges together.

As the night deepened, the guests gradually dispersed, and Ling Xue and Zhou Xing began to clean up the tables and chairs and sweep the floor. They smiled at each other and felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. In this simulated life, they not only successfully ran the barbecue restaurant, but also deepened their friendship. In the 62nd tribulation, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing became a mortal couple and jointly ran a busy breakfast shop. Before the first ray of sunlight in the morning touched the earth, they began their busy day.

Ling Xue is in charge of making wontons and noodles in the store. Her deft fingers gently press on the dough, knead and pull it, and it becomes a thin sheet of dough. Then, she wraps the prepared meat filling in it and kneads it skillfully. The plump wontons are neatly arranged on the plate, waiting to be put into the pot. Noodles are another of her specialties. She repeatedly pulls the dough until it becomes tough and thin, and then puts it into boiling water. After a while, a bowl of steaming, elastic noodles comes out of the pot.

Zhou Xingze is responsible for the production of rice noodles and rice flour. He uses high-quality local rice, and after a series of tedious processes such as soaking, grinding, and steaming, he can make rice noodles and rice flour with a delicate taste. He is also good at preparing various toppings. Whether it is beef or pork, spare ribs or three fresh delicacies, he can stew them until they are soft and tasty, and the aroma is overflowing.

Cold noodles and steamed buns are also one of the specialties of the store. Ling Xue will prepare the noodles the night before, mix them with special sauce after cooling, and put them in the refrigerator. The next morning, these cold noodles will become the favorite of customers in the hot summer. As for steamed buns, Zhou Xing is good at it. He will adjust the fillings according to the changes of seasons. In spring, it may be fresh chives and eggs, in summer, it is cool green bean paste, in autumn, there is sweet pumpkin, and in winter, there is nourishing lamb or beef.

Youtiao and soy milk are a classic combination on the breakfast table. Ling Xue will ferment the dough until it is just right, then cut it into strips, overlap two of them, and press them with chopsticks to form the prototype of the youtiao. After rolling in the oil pan for a few times, the golden and crispy youtiao is ready. Zhou Xing grinds and cooks the soy milk every morning, which is rich in bean fragrance and nutrition.

In this small breakfast shop, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing were busy with their own things, but they were in perfect harmony. Their figures shuttled back and forth in the steaming kitchen, exchanging a warm look or a short word from time to time. Although they were in the mortal world, the tacit understanding and trust were the testimony of their years of practice.

As the morning arrives, the first batch of customers push the door and enter, and the breakfast shop really starts to get busy. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing greet every customer with the most sincere smile and prepare every breakfast carefully. In this ordinary world, they create small happiness and satisfaction with their own hands, and at the same time, they unknowingly overcome one disaster after another.

Finally, when the tribulation was over, they returned to the world of cultivating immortals. This experience became a precious memory in their hearts, and also made them more determined and brave on their future path of cultivation.

In the 53rd level of the tribulation, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing transformed into chefs from star-rated hotels of different nationalities. Ling Xue became a French chef, while Zhou Xing became a Chinese chef. They met because they participated in an international chef competition.

In this scene, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing are both striving for honor for their country. They compete with each other in the competition, but at the same time they respect each other. Their daily life is full of passion for cooking and pursuit of delicious food.

Every morning, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing would get up early to prepare for the day's work. They would go to the market to pick fresh ingredients, and then return to the hotel's kitchen to start cooking. Each of their dishes is a carefully crafted work of art, and each dish is filled with their love for food and pursuit of craftsmanship.

In the 58th level of overcoming difficulties, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing transformed into power repair workers. They wore uniform blue work clothes, safety helmets, and held tool boxes, shouldering the important task of bringing light to people.

Every morning, when the first rays of sunlight shine on the earth, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing have already started their day's work. They ride an electric bike full of tools, shuttling through the streets and alleys of the city, ready to respond to sudden power failures at any time. Their work location is not fixed, sometimes in the basement of a high-rise building, sometimes in a substation in the suburbs, and sometimes even on a telephone pole in a storm.

In the hot summer, they climb high-altitude electric poles under the scorching sun, their backs soaked with sweat and their hands covered with calluses. In the cold winter, they brave the severe cold and go deep into the underground cable tunnels, enduring the biting cold wind and humid air. On rainy and windy days, they even risk their lives to repair power facilities damaged by wind and rain, just to let thousands of households light up with warm lights.

Despite the difficult working environment, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing always maintained a dedicated spirit. They strictly abided by the operating procedures, carefully checked each piece of equipment, and ensured that every maintenance was foolproof. In the intense work, they encouraged and supported each other and overcame difficulties one after another.

After get off work, they would return to the simple dormitory to share their stories and exchange their work experiences and insights. In this small space, they established a deep friendship and became each other's most solid support.

In the 62nd level of the tribulation, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing transformed into a mortal couple, running a breakfast shop together. The shop is located on a busy street corner and welcomes a steady stream of customers every morning.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shine through the shop window onto the neatly arranged dining table. Ling Xue is busy preparing various ingredients in the kitchen, while Zhou Xing is outside greeting customers. Their movements are tacit and skillful, as if they have lived in this role for a long time.

There are many kinds of breakfast in the store, each with its own unique taste. Wontons have thin skin and tender fillings, and the soup is delicious; noodles are chewy and smooth, and with different toppings, every bite is satisfying; rice noodles are delicate and soft, complementing various ingredients; rice noodles are fragrant and delicious, and cold noodles are refreshing and pleasant; buns have thin skin and rich fillings, fried dough sticks are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and soy milk is sweet and rich... Each one is made with care and makes people have endless aftertaste.

The toppings for noodles and rice noodles are even more varied, including beef, pork, spare ribs, three fresh delicacies, chicken offal, fish head, fatty intestines, pig's feet, etc. Each one is carefully cooked with a mellow taste and is deeply loved by customers.

Ling Xue and Zhou Xing support and care for each other at work.
