Chapter 160 The cook who can't cook
Chapter 160 "Cook" who can't cook
Jincheng should first walk into the temple gate.
It seems that this small temple is already very dilapidated. The wing rooms on both sides have collapsed, and a big hole is leaking on the roof of the main hall in the middle. However, the main halls of the village temples in the village are large, so at least they can make the whole village stand and burn incense, right? So half of the room can still accommodate many people.
There are about a hundred households in the village where the Land Temple is located, so the main hall can accommodate at least 100 people to worship at the same time. In the half of the roof, two beggars lay in one corner. On the other side, three traveling merchants lit a fire and were roasting firewood to wait for dawn to go. In the main hall, there was enough space for Yun Duo to rest... It was too shocking to travel in the dark. Seeing that it was almost dawn, Yun Duo felt that it would be better for those who were waking up in the morning to see him. When there were too many people on the road, he would go out to set off, and no one would pay attention to him.
When Yun Duo entered the temple, his cultivation seemed to be only in the Qi Refining Stage, while Jin Cheng was still a great Jindan monk. The two occupied one corner and others dared not disturb him. Yun Duo took out his marching furnace... Well, for the time being, he did not dare to let the spirit of the stove awaken and show his wise appearance.
He bounced his fingers and a flame penetrated into the stove. The fire illuminated the clouds and filled the surroundings with a warm atmosphere.
Yunduo took out the pot from the storage bag and did not dare to wake up the spirit of the vegetable pot, and only used this stove as an ordinary cooking utensil.
He put a small handful of spiritual rice and added some vegetables and seasonings stored in the storage bag... Somehow, Yun Duo suddenly remembered the Russian fable of axe soup. He thought it was a bit funny. I did this. Are you making axe soup?
The aroma of rice porridge came out, and Yun Duo flipped his hand. A jade slip appeared in his hand. This was a secular popular novel that Yun Duo took a break from his busy schedule and bought in Fenglingdu. Yun Duo bought a lot of similar secular novels, because neither he nor Jin Xiang Zhenjun had much contact with secular society. Now he was walking on the way to visit his sister and needed to feel the human feelings in this world by reading popular novels.
The powerful spiritual sense monitors the village not far away. Clouds understand the worldly human feelings through spiritual sense...
It is said that the novels purchased by Yunduo are all famous works on the best-selling list. Yunduo originally purchased thousands of books in the order of one to two hundred best-selling list. Not only did he sweep the books on the best-selling list this year, but in the past ten years, he has bought all the books on the best-selling list. Now in his hands is the third-ranked "masterpiece".
The pot was cooked with spiritual rice. When the fragrance of spiritual rice was completely emitted, it was an irresistible temptation for ordinary people. Even the two beggars who were sleeping soundly got up from their sleep. Then the two beggars hugged in the corner, staring at Yun Duo with their eyes wide open and recognized Yun Duo as an immortal, and did not dare to come to disturb him, but the smell coming from the pot of immortals was really fascinating.
In the other corner, the three travelers who were also surrounded in front of the fire could not help but. One of the travelers walked carefully towards Yunduo, and asked tentatively as he walked: "This... Immortal Chief. Are you planning to cross the river at dawn? Hehe, there are more than twenty miles away from the ferry. Do you need a guide?"
Yunduo's eyelids did not even lift his eyelids from the book. He interrupted the other party's greetings and said without raising his head: "If you want to drink porridge, take the bowl by yourself. Use your own bowl. Oh, I can also serve two bowls for the two little beggars. After serving the porridge, I will leave me. I am impatient to be disturbed."
The traveler was stunned for a moment, and immediately filled with a smile. He walked towards his companion happily... After a while, he took a few bowls from his companion, made rice porridge for himself and his companion, and then served two bowls for the little beggars, and then said to the two little beggars with tolerance: "These two bowls are left for you."
The sky gradually became brighter, but at this time, the food pot on the stove finally couldn't hold it back. The spirit of this food pot came from the secret realm of the Xuantian, with strong local values. In its opinion, letting the palms of several pairs of ** mortals touch themselves, it simply polluted its... immortal body. So the vegetable pot jumped into the air, completely ignored the suppression of the clouds, flew out of the temple gate, poured the remaining rice porridge in the pot into the corner of the house, and then quickly flew to the river twenty miles away.
When it washed itself in the river and flew back to the ruined temple, several mortals in the ruined temple were already looking up at the clouds. These mortals thought that the behavior of the vegetable pot was flying out was a fairy tactic, so they felt very moved: As expected, the immortal tactics are just smart. Look, you don’t need to use someone to flick your fingers to clean the pot.
Of course, if the vegetable pot is not opened, mortals cannot imagine that the vegetable pot will have wisdom.
The rice porridge was re-cooked. What to cook this time and what ingredients are added are entirely controlled by the vegetable pot. The re-cooked rice porridge is already a spiritual meal, and it is an extremely smart spiritual meal. Ordinary spiritual meal chefs do not have the skill of vegetable pot. Now the vegetable porridge in the pot has a lot of spiritual herb powder. In addition to the irrepressible fragrance, it can also replenish the spiritual energy of a monk like a pill.
However, the aroma of rice porridge did not spread far. Jin Cheng carefully controlled the aroma in the temple. When the rice porridge was cooked, the entire temple was filled with rich, almost viscous aura and food fragrance that could not stop the temptation.
After dinner, Yun Duo released the little lion dog and first made herself a bowl of rice porridge. The remaining rice porridge belonged to the little lion dog. As for Jincheng, her taste was different from that of humans.
This pot of porridge is better than a pot. Several people in the dilapidated temple were swallowing their saliva, but they no longer dared to step forward... After the vegetable pot was furious, it emitted its pressure, so the few people in the dilapidated temple could only watch Yunduo eat it completely.
Yun Duo's powerful spiritual sense sensed that the first person who got up in the morning in the village went out. He even sensed that a city not far away was knocking at the right time. The slow knocks slowly entered his ears. With the creaking sound of the door bolt, the rattle of the door was pulled. The most diligent young wife in the village stood in the yard yawning. Then the young wife was stunned for a while, shook her head and walked towards the chicken coop...
The dog barking sounded, the rooster crowed, and the pigs in the backyard of the farmhouse were humming. The diligent mother-in-law got up and shouted loudly to scold her daughter-in-law. Yun Duo was all feeling it. Amid the noise of the early morning, Yun Duo stood up and quickly put away the little lion dog. His figure flashed again, and a sword light appeared in the sky. Yun Duo drove his own aircraft and flew quickly to South Korea.
Of course, Yunduo could also take the teleportation array to Shanggu City, but he had to show his identity when riding the teleportation array. Yunduo didn't want people to know his whereabouts, so he could only fly the aircraft, avoid the bustling and bustling areas, and fly alone to the place where his sisters settled at the destination.
Jincheng had traveled to various countries in his early years and had a lot of research on this Yuesen continent. Although hundreds of years have passed, the mainland countries have changed apart. However, the mountains and rivers of the mainland have not changed much in the past few hundred years. Seeing the ridges curved like centipedes in the distance, Jincheng blurted out: "Waishan has arrived, and after passing Weishan, it will be South Korea."
The cloud immediately lowered its flight altitude and slowly moved closer to Weishan.
As we get closer, we can see clearly that the light flashes over a large castle on Mount Wei, which is the flash of swords dancing.
Jin Cheng explained on the side: "Han is a secular country established by a clan of the Han surname. The Han clan has produced a Nascent Soul, and since then, its family has produced many golden elixirs to build the foundation. It has gradually developed into a family of immortal cultivation. The ordinary people who cannot cultivate immortals have established such a secular country with the support of the family. This secular country has safely survived two beast tides, and now it has been established for more than 800 years.
After the establishment of South Korea, Weishan became their border. The Korean royal family assigned Weishan to a secular martial arts sect as a fiefdom. This secular martial arts sect built its own mountain gate on Weishan, and then built a castle and a guard post to guard the national gate for South Korea.
It is said that the Weishan Sect has produced several cultivation disciples. However, after so many years, I can’t remember who the Weishan Sect’s disciples are in that immortal sect.”
The light flashing in the Weishan Sect just now was of course the sword dances that the disciples of the sect got up in the morning to exercise. However, the Weishan Sect was very tactful and did not make any interception when they saw the immortal disciples flying over the sky. Yun Duo controlled the aircraft without interruption and then landed on the southern foot of the Weishan Mountain. From beginning to end, the Weishan Sect did not send anyone to check or greet.
This is very good.
Yunduo was somewhat contaminated by the monk's preference for joy and not lively, and no one came to bother him. He happened to find a place to change his clothes, and then took out his Thousand Mile Message Jade Slip. After swaying a little, the end of the jade slip immediately reacted to Piting, who was in Shanggu City, who was already aware of Yunduo's arrival.
Since he had entered South Korea, Yun Duo was not in a hurry to go to Shanggucheng. He led Jincheng around and found the official road in South Korea. Then, he used a mortal face to walk around the road, ready to go to Fengcheng first.
The countries in Yuesen mainland use one surname as one country. This national system is similar to the early Spring and Autumn Period, and the state's administrative system is also extremely similar to the Spring and Autumn Period. They all use cities as the administrative center, and then control the countryside through cities, thereby achieving the purpose of universal governance.
In a sense, this national system is equivalent to a collection of large farms, and each city is equivalent to a farm manor, where tenants and slaves live. The king (the owner) controls the manor, and then controls the tenants and slaves, and controls the output of the entire country.
South Korea controls nine cities in total, and there are three cities near the southern foot of Mount Wei, namely Fengcheng. Raocheng and Daningcheng can guess when they hear the names of these three cities: the south of Mount Wei is a rich impact plain, and it is most suitable for sowing farmers on this impact plain. The rice yield in this land is also very rich, so it has the name of "richness".
As for the origin of the name of Daning City, it means that the city is built on the border, and the owner of the city really wants the border to be peaceful.
Daning City is built on the waist of Weishan Mountain. From Daning City, there is an official road leading to Fengcheng. Raocheng is almost parallel to Fengcheng, crossing the line of Fengraocheng, which is the largest river in South Korea, Luxi. This big river is also the main source of water for irrigating the Fengrao Plain, and can be regarded as the agricultural artery of South Korea.
Yunduo is going to Fengcheng now.
The three cities of Feng, Ringcheng and Daning City are arranged in triangles, and the grain output of the Fengcao Plain accounts for 90% of the entire South Korean grain production. Except for these three cities, the other cities are small cities with small populations, small territory and poor resources, or they are simply semi-military defensive castles. As for Yunduo’s destination, Shanggucheng, it is almost a cultivation city and the only cultivation city in South Korea.
Fengcheng is very densely populated. Yunduo and Jincheng entered the country from the north gate of Fengcheng. The cars and horses entering the city to the north all have tokens of the city gate. These people belong to the privileged class, and they kept riding cars and cars along the way. They just simply light up the tokens at the gate and were unobstructed.
The width of this north gate is six carriages in parallel. The gate opening is about 30 meters long. If you enter the north gate, it is only considered an outer city. You have to walk along the eight horses parallel lane for a quarter of an hour before entering the inner city. The inner city is where special classes live and gather. Of course, the core of the city is naturally in this special class area.
Similarly, the area where this special class is located is also divided into hierarchical areas of the inner city belongs to the monks' living area, which is the privileged class among the privileged class. The southern area of the inner city is the residential area of the secular powerful class, the northern area belongs to the residential area of the secular wealthy, and the eastern area is the residential area of the secular officials in the city, also known as the residential area of the aristocratic people.
As soon as we entered the outer city, the old man pushing a cart, the farmer carrying a load, the sister-in-law of the farmer who was rushing with his children, the girl who was selling goods on the street, the little peddler who laughed... There are so many people, so many forms, so many sounds, so many shops, and bustling hawking and playful sounds. The husbands, women, old women, naughty children, calligraphy and painting shops, clothes and hat shops, pill pharmacies, coopers, paint brushers, furniture shops, food stalls, restaurants, all the most beautiful, those landscapes, these people. Each of them is a novel, a poem, and a distant but close story.
This breath of life is so rushing to the face, so kind that the clouds can't help but stand on the streets.
That's it, it's like this full of the breath of fireworks on earth.
Yun Duo was also in it earlier, and he was also one of the ordinary people. This was his familiar atmosphere, and this was his familiar urban life.
Jincheng did not urge Yunduo. When the dusk fell, Yunduo raised his feet like a sleepwalking. He staggered towards the largest inn in the outer city. He walked to the entrance of the inn. Jincheng suddenly stopped Yunduo and blocked it with his body. Then he whispered: "Young master, let's change to another inn?"
The clouds stopped. At this time, the people of Fengcheng had already lit up their own lanterns along the inner city wall. Countless vendors emerged from somewhere and began to place their own tuition along the inner city wall. The fragrance of various food came to their noses. Under the hazy lights of various lanterns, the smile of the stall owner looked so friendly.
Jin Cheng took another step forward and explained in a low voice: "Young Master, we... are different from ordinary people. The inn is dirty and cannot sit quietly and regulate their breathing. If you get involved in any cause and effect, and when you advance, if you have any inner demons, it will be more than worth the loss..."
Yun Duo tilted his head and thought about it.
Jin Cheng raised so many possibilities, but the last point touched him. Although Yun Duo was not afraid of attacks from the inner demons, he was also afraid of being infected with the secular world and cause and effect. So his eyes turned around. After hearing Jin Cheng's words, he followed Jin Cheng into the inner city area and the monk activity area in the west of the inner city.
South Korea has a small land area, only nine cities in total. There are three mountains erected on the border of its border, and the entire South Korea is in the basin surrounded by these three mountains. Clouds enter from this side of Mount Wei, and on the other side of South Korea, the place at a 90-degree angle with Mount Wei is the Golden Mountain Range that spans three countries, and Shanggucheng is on the southern foot of Mount Wei. On the Golden Mountain Range, there is also the "Golden Mountain Gate" composed of five small immortal gates in South Korea.
Because of the small territory, there are not many monks in South Korea. In addition, Fengcheng and Raocheng are ultimately a world of ordinary people. Therefore, the residential area of monks in Fengcheng does not cover a large area, but the monk inn here is very exquisite.
In the small courtyard, a delicate three-story building is erected in the middle, with small open spaces in front, back and left and right. The small courtyard is equipped with various living facilities, a well and a small vegetable garden, which looks very elegant. The first floor of the small building is the reception room and dining room, the second floor is the place where the alchemy room and tenants do private work, and the third floor is the place where monks sleep and meditate and regulate breathing.
On the side of this courtyard are two east wing rooms for the people to live in. The west wing opposite the room of the people is a cowshed and horse circle. This is an mortal city after all, and the architectural style brings some characteristics of the mundane world.
The shop clerk who is good at observing words and expressions found that Yun Duo had no repulsion on his face, immediately bent down, stretched out three fingers, and said with a smirk: "Immortal, for such a house, you can rent three low-grade spirit stones every day, are you satisfied?"
Yun Duo waved his hand and threw ten low-grade spirit stones into the arms of the shopkeeper: "This is three days' worth of living, I will give you extra rewards. I will stay for about three or two days. If I plan to stay for a long time, I will ask you to add more money to renew the rent."
The shopkeeper was not in a hurry to leave. When Yun Duo turned his questioning eyes to him, he asked diligently: "Does Xianzhang plan to start the fire and cook by himself? Our store can provide cooks with skilled skills, and the rent is also three low-grade spirit stones... Of course, there are better craftsmanship, but they charge higher fees and need five low-grade spirit stones every day. Xianzhang plans to cook by himself, or hire someone to open the fire?"
Yun Duo frowned slightly: "Okay, please introduce a cook, but I don't like being disturbed."
The shopkeeper immediately bowed and replied: "Don't worry, Xiancheng, our store has been open for a hundred years, and everyone knows the habits of Xiancheng. The chef of our store only cooks three meals a day, brings the ingredients himself, and leaves after cooking. He never asks about the situation of the customers and will never interfere with Xiancheng's practice."
Yunduo nodded, but the shop assistant had no intention of leaving yet, so he had to ask again: "Will I give it to you now, or just hand it over to the cook?"
The shop assistant heard Yun Duo's impatientness and quickly raised his hand to leave. He walked upside down to the door and bowed repeatedly to explain: "It's the same, the immortal, the same, you can give the little one the spirit stone first. When the cook arrives, you can hand over the fee directly to the cook... The little one will take it back now, and the cook you want will arrive soon."
When the shopkeeper left the courtyard, Jincheng laughed: "Do you know what the shopkeeper wanted to say just now? Haha, you are really a rookie in the cultivation world... Huh, do you think the cook he recommended can cook? Haha, I'm so laughing." (To be continued...)
