Chapter 059: The Best Laba Porridge
Time flies, the weather is getting colder and colder, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the wax moon.
On this day, at nightfall, the sky was overcast, the temperature plummeted, and flakes of snow floated on Qingyun Peak.
Qingunfeng is located in the temperate zone, and it rarely snows even in winter, and even if it does, the snowflakes melt quickly after they land.
However, this snow seems to have fallen very much, which is a rare heavy snowfall in ten years.
Because of the snow, no one has gone up the mountain to burn incense recently, and the green bamboo is leisurely.
It is said that in the early morning of this day, Qingzhu got up early in the morning, came to the vegetable field in the backyard alone, and stood alone on the edge of the cliff.
He looked at the mountains that could be seen in the distance, with one hand behind his back, a pale cyan robe swaying without wind, his eyes were deep, and his face was sad and compassionate, as if he had realized the Tao too empty......
Suddenly, there was a click!!
Qingzhu's righteous and awe-inspiring expression just now disappeared, so he quickly took the phone, looked down, and then laughed: "Hehe, this one is good, it's so handsome!!"
That's right, Qingzhu is not here to comprehend the world and cultivate his self-cultivation, he is actually playing with selfies......
In the selfie photo just now, Qingzhu picked out some good-looking and handsome ones, and with a stroke of his finger, he immediately shared them with his circle of friends.
Since the last time Qian Xiaolin, Zhou Li and Sun Miaomiao asked Qingzhu for photos to promote in the circle of friends, Qingzhu has begun to like this habit of taking two handsome photos when he has nothing to do.
Just as Qingzhu was about to return to the Taoist temple, there were suddenly one or two firecrackers at the bottom of the mountain, probably children playing.
The children couldn't wait for the New Year, and they started to fire firearms in advance, Qingzhu calculated the time, yes, tomorrow is Laba, it's time to drink Laba porridge.
Laba has arrived, will the Chinese New Year be far away???
Qingzhu lowered his head and looked down the mountain, where he could just see the entire mountain village.
I saw that under the mountain, with the sound of firecrackers, people began to move around, and the smoke rose, bringing some popularity and warmth to the deserted mountain.
However, Qingzhu looked back at his deserted Taoist temple, and compared with the small village below the mountain, he looked lonely.
In such a stark contrast, Qingzhu had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.
On the way back, Qingzhu's mood was not very good, and he would always unconsciously think of the scene of last year's New Year.
At that time, the master was still there, and it was the master who accompanied him for the New Year, and the master also made a very large and delicious rice cake for Qingzhu.
But now, he was the only one left in Qingsong Temple, and suddenly, Qingzhu felt that the temperature around him had dropped a lot.
Walking back to the gate of Qingsongguan, Qingzhu looked up, he saw that the big black bear was pouting his ass in the snowdrift arched a big snowball, the hen jumped on the snowball with great effort, but the black bear arched with his nose, and the hen rolled down from the snowball.
Seeing these two living treasures having fun, Qingzhu's heart finally melted, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Qingzhu let out a long breath and said in his heart: Alas, it seems that I am not too lonely this year, at least these guys will accompany me for the New Year...... Hey, why are there only black bears and hens, and large radish and ginseng???!!!
Qingzhu spun around in place, about to find that ugly and ugly ginseng, because that guy is the worst and naughtiest.
Unexpectedly, ginseng actually used stealth techniques and quietly hid behind Qingzhu, and when Qingzhu was defenseless, he suddenly jumped up and stuffed a snowball in his hand into Qingzhu's collar.
Qingzhu, who was suddenly attacked, instantly felt a chill from his back, and he screamed from the cold.
Immediately, both the black bear and the hen burst into laughter.
In this way, four creatures of different races, in a snowy field, made a mess.
Similarly, in a burst of laughter, the depression in Qingzhu's heart also dissipated.
……
On the morning of Laba, before dawn, Qingzhu's head was pillowed on the body of a big radish, and saliva flowed into the mouth of the big radish, but the ginseng was unaware and slept soundly.
Just when the two of them were sleeping, the system spoke at this time.
“…… Today is Laba Festival, it's time to drink Laba porridge, the Laba rice specially offered by Sanqing Daozun has been placed in the kitchen, please go and check it immediately......"
Qingzhu sat up with a spirit, rubbing his eyes while recalling what the system had just said.
"Laba rice, or the Laba rice specially offered by Sanqing Daozun, great, today you can drink Laba porridge specially offered by the gods!!" Qingzhu shouted happily.
Then, Qingzhu excitedly patted the white belly of the ginseng and said, "Radish, get up quickly, today we are going to drink laba porridge!!
As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, Ginseng was also awakened at once, and with two small short legs, he followed Qingzhu until he ran to the door of the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, the hen and the black bear also got up early, and they were actually waiting for Qingzhu to cook porridge for them with a bowl.
"Oh, I'll go, why are you two so active today?!"
Qingzhu was about to ask, but his nose suddenly took a sharp breath, oops, what kind of taste is this, why is it so sweet???!!!
With the smell, Qingzhu hurriedly ran to the panel, looked down, and sure enough, there was a small yellow cloth bag placed there.
The tempting aroma is constantly coming out of it, and what is contained in this cloth bag is obviously what the system says, and the special Laba rice is provided.
It seems that the black bear and the hen both smelled this aroma, so they did not sleep lazily, and were woken up by the fragrance emanating from the eight rice.
Qingzhu was very curious about what was the difference between this special Laba rice, so he couldn't wait to open the yellow cloth bag and look down.
I saw white rice, yellow millet, crystal clear lotus seeds, red jujubes, yellow walnut kernels, purple raisins, and all kinds of grains that could not be named.
Many ingredients are mixed together, red and red, white clear, yellow brilliant, green oily.
All the ingredients don't look like ingredients, they are clearly bags of jewels, and they are so beautiful that people are reluctant to eat them!!
"Giggles, let's get out of the pot, Laba rice is not for seeing, it's for eating!!" The hen urged with a flapping of her little wings.
"Mmmm, I'm so hungry, I can't wait!!" said the black bear silly, licking his lips.
"Hurry up, let the deity help you brush the pot......" Ginseng shouted.
The ginseng radish laboriously climbed onto the stove, lifted the lid of the pot, and wanted to brush the pot, but accidentally, his feet slipped, and he fell into the pot first.
Qingzhu couldn't help laughing, fished out the ginseng from the pot, and then brushed the pot to cook porridge.
After Laba rice is put into the pot, it immediately blends into the rootless spiritual water, and the color is even more beautiful when you look at it.
"The color is beautiful, the taste is even more amazing!!" Qingzhu couldn't help but exclaim.
Soon, hot air came out of the pot, and the four of them gathered around, greedily smelling the taste of laba porridge.
The aroma of rice, the fragrance of lotus seeds, the sweetness of jujubes, and the smell of eighteen kinds of ingredients can be smelled carefully.
When the porridge is almost cooked, all kinds of flavors are blended together, and it turns into a unique fragrance.
Even if you just smell it, you immediately feel refreshed and your whole body is clear!!
Just by looking at the light and smell, Qingzhu has already determined that this is definitely a big pot of excellent porridge!!
After Meimei drank Laba porridge, Qingzhu suddenly felt refreshed, and there was an inexhaustible strength in his body, he simply jumped into the courtyard and played a set of boxing techniques, but he still felt that his strength was not used up.
Then, Qingzhu thought of cleaning.
Yes, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and it's time to do a thorough sanitation of the entire Taoist temple.
Under the command of Qingzhu, everyone began to do hygiene.
This time, with the help of ginseng and large radish, in a relatively high place, Qingzhu let ginseng climb up and wipe the dust accumulated on it, the black bear continued to clean the yard with a big broom, and the hen stood on the big pine tree to command, telling the black bear where it was not clean.
In this way, the four of them were busy all day, and finally cleaned the Qingsong Temple inside and out.
……
During this period of time, maybe everyone is busy with the New Year, since drinking Laba porridge, there have been no pilgrims on the mountain in Qingsong Temple, and Qingzhu is also quiet.
Gradually, in the village below the mountain, there are more and more firecrackers, the flavor of the New Year is becoming more and more full, and the mountain and the mountain are full of festive atmosphere.
On the day of the new year, early in the morning, Qingzhu received a gift package from the system again.
“…… Host, the New Year is coming, the system will send you some New Year's decorations, do you want to receive them now?"
"Hahaha, this is good, I didn't expect there to be a gift for the New Year?!" Qingzhu immediately accepted.
The golden light flashed in front of him, and there was a pair of red paper couplets, a bundle of red candles, and a monkey that looked thick and thick on the small bed of Qingzhu.
Although he didn't receive anything to eat, Qingzhu was a little disappointed, but it was better than nothing, and Qingzhu was still a little happy when he received a gift for the New Year.
The Spring Festival couplets should be pasted on the gate as soon as possible, so Qingzhu and three friends came to the gate of Qingsongguan, made a paste with some rice grains, and prepared to paste the Spring Festival couplets.
Ginseng rode on top of the black bear's head with the paste, Qingzhu took the spring couplets, found a place on the door, and then asked the hen standing in the distance, "Is it okay here? What is the height? Is it crooked?"
"Cluck, a little to the left, a little to the right, a little more above, cluck, all right!!," replied the hen, tilting her head.
After pasting the couplet, Qingzhu put his hands behind his back, connected the words on it, and read it out loud: "Xuan Xuan Xuan, Miao Miao Miao, enter the Xuanmen, be an old man, that is, at ease, and at ease, for people to see through the meaning, it is better to be a monk and an old man." ”
The black bear said happily: "Very good, very good, although I don't understand, but really good!!"
The ginseng big radish looked at the black bear and sneered: "Hahaha, it's a pity that I can't eat !!"
The hen leaned over and said, "Giggle, actually, it should be a little bit down......"
