Chapter 1684: A Special Breakfast
In the cave where Yao Lao lived, Zhen Cheng came in for the first time.
This is the top of the medicine garden, the cave was originally a crack that was not completely open, but this crack has been processed, and the two sides have expanded greatly, but the upper end is still narrow, but the height of this cave is four or five meters, like a common ridge house in the countryside in the north.
Stepping into the cave, the room temperature was about twenty degrees, and how deep it was longitudinally, Zhen Cheng's vision was blocked by a lush vine growing.
Yao Lao invited Zhen Cheng into the cave, this has been breaking the rules for many years, and inside the cave, Yao Lao didn't plan to let Zhen Cheng in. In a medicinal field behind Zhen Cheng, all the high-quality ginseng and precious medicinal materials of some years were planted.
"Don't look around like a thief, sit down for me to eat!" Yao Lao had been secretly observing Zhen Cheng's expression, and found that Zhen Cheng's gaze did not stop at the ginseng greedily, but looked around, pretending to be angry and commanding loudly.
Yao Lao is not tall, but his position is at least fifty or sixty centimeters higher than that of an ordinary stool, Zhen Cheng sits on a low bamboo stool, and needs to hold his head slightly high before he can talk to Yao Lao.
The sunlight outside sneaked in, facing the dazzling sunlight, Zhen Cheng squinted and couldn't see Yao Lao's expression clearly.
"I'm done eating, you can eat, you're welcome!" Yao Lao looked at Zhen Cheng's stupid expression, his heart was settled, and he commanded in a deep voice, "When you finish eating, I still have something to tell you to do!" β
"Oh!" Zhen Cheng looked at the small bamboo square table in front of him, and there was nothing on it except for two small porcelain-shaped bottles. Zhen Cheng stood up with a puzzled face and said, "Senior, then I'll go get food, where is your kitchen?" β
"Kitchen?" Yao Lao stared at Zhen Cheng, as if hearing this fresh word for the first time.
"Stove! It's the place to cook! Zhen Cheng secretly scolded himself for being stupid, how could he talk about the kitchen, Yao Lao was obviously a bad old man who had never seen the world, how could he know what a kitchen was. Zhen Cheng was a little embarrassed, and while talking, he also gestured.
Since he walked into this cave of Yao Lao, Zhen Cheng has been sniffing, except for the aroma of medicinal herbs, Zhen Cheng is very strange, why didn't he smell the aroma of food?
"I've got you some food, what kind of bullshit stove are you looking for! Hurry up and sit down for my old man, he will me off and won't give you anything to eat! Yao Lao's very tangled old face was covered with frost, and he warned Zhen Cheng loudly and angrily.
"Oh!" Zhen Cheng sat down again extremely depressed, rubbed his eyes, and even looked carefully under the table several times by the way, but found nothing.
There was nothing on the table but the two black porcelain-shaped bottles.
"It's really eye-catching, I haven't even seen such a hearty breakfast! Then, just the porcelain bottle close to you, open it, and eat it! Yao Lao's cross-eyed eyes tilted Xiangshang, with a disdainful expression on his face, and he reluctantly raised his hand and pointed at Zhen Cheng.
"What!" Zhen Cheng almost jumped up from the bamboo stool. Pointing to the porcelain bottle in front of him, he said, "How much porridge can be in here, it's not enough to feed the birds!" β
"Porridge?" Yao Lao looked at Zhen Cheng and was stunned again. "What is porridge?"
Zhen Cheng's forehead was full of black lines, and a feeling of wanting to cry without tears lingered in his heart. Yujian aliens are also stronger than Yujian's ignorant people, looking at Yao Lao's puzzled appearance, it is obvious that he has never eaten rice. "Old-timers, porridge is rice, we mainly eat this now, and of course, pasta!"
"What, pasta?" Yao Lao's face was full of doubts again.
"Pasta is wheat, and it can only be eaten after it has been ground into flour!" Zhen Cheng explained with extreme chagrin.
"I have buckwheat here, but wheat and rice don't!"
"Is your buckwheat good for medicine?" Zhen Cheng is going crazy, the toss just in the morning, coupled with the breakthrough just now, Zhen Cheng is extremely hungry and uncomfortable. The sound is a lot louder unconsciously.
"You're yelling at me?" Yao Lao's donkey face became ugly, and the murderous intent in his eyes loomed. Zhen Cheng suddenly felt a cold feeling, and his whole body seemed to be suppressed by the mountain. "Whoa!" The bamboo stool under Zhen Cheng's buttocks suddenly shattered into powder.
"Noβit's notβ" Zhen Cheng sweated on his forehead, squeezing out a life-saving word from between his teeth.
"Alas!" Looking at Zhen Cheng's struggling appearance, Yao Lao seemed to suddenly wake up, sighed, and collected the strength that was not very big; The feeling of suffocation in Zhen Cheng's body disappeared, but he couldn't get up from sitting on the ground in shock.
Zhen Cheng sat on the powder of the bamboo bench and gasped for breath, and the sweat on his back fell like rain. The strength of the middle stage of the Heavenly Order, in front of the old man in front of him, was as vulnerable as a baby.
"I really don't know about rice and wheat, I haven't walked out of this medicine garden since I was a child!" Yao Lao's face suddenly had a touch of sadness, and he looked at Zhen Cheng and asked enviously, "Aren't rice and wheat delicious?" β
Yao Lao's demeanor told Zhen Cheng that the old man in front of him was not acting, he was telling the truth.
"We ordinary people eat rice and wheat, make all sorts of finished products, and fill our stomachs! We eat delicious, and our predecessors may not be used to eating it! Immortals like their predecessors should not be used to eating rice and wheat! β
Zhen Cheng didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, after all, he was not familiar with the old monster in front of him, if he got angry and killed himself, who would he go to avenge when the time came?
Zhen Cheng suddenly felt that the medicine elder in front of him was very pitiful. I have lived in this medicine garden since I was a child, and I have never even enjoyed the food outside, so what is the meaning of such a life, even if I live for 10,000 years? Zhen Cheng knew that Yao Lao Weishenme would practice the iconic things of men, because the old man in front of him didn't even understand the affairs of men and women.
Yao Lao is pitiful, but Yao Lao is just as worthy of admiration. Looking at the medicine garden with a full range of types outside, Zhen Cheng felt a trace of respect for Yao Lao in his heart. If the pharmaceutical industry in Huaxia is full of characters like Yao Lao, then has Huaxia's traditional Chinese medicine already swept the world and moved towards shijie?
"Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing! You eat first, and we'll talk about it later! By the way, you open that bottle and you know what breakfast is! Yao Lao's face was full of seriousness, his expression was very strange, but he was struggling in his heart. Zhen Cheng is different from those medicine garden handymen in the past, intuitively, Yao Lao feels that Zhen Cheng is a very knowledgeable person.
Thinking about it for so many years, the one hundred and fifty or sixty people who were killed by themselves were either Burmese natives at the bottom of the mountain, or young people with poor cultivation qualifications on Kaikabo Peak, although they were young, they were basically similar to themselves, and they didn't know the shijie outside. In addition, the handyman who chose before didn't know any knowledge of medicinal herbs at all, and he had to teach it all by himself, and if he obeyed his words, how could he know that on this shijie, there were such delicious things as rice and wheat?
Zhen Cheng obediently took a porcelain-like vial in front of him, he couldn't see the color clearly, and there were no exquisite patterns on it, but when he got it in his hand, it was cool. Zhen Cheng suddenly realized that this bottle should not be porcelain, but jade. This jade bottle weishenme is black, and Zhen Cheng didn't bother to ask, what was in the jade bottle, which aroused Zhen Cheng's curiosity.
The bottle is not big, just like the usual bottle of xylitol chewing gum, and if it is filled with chewing gum, it is estimated that it will not exceed fifty.
Unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and a burnt and pungent smell came out, Zhen Cheng twitched his nose and looked at Yao Lao suspiciously.
"I've been eating this since I was a kid!" Seeing Zhen Cheng's painful face, a touch of cunning flashed in Yao Lao's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "You take out one and taste it!" β
After carefully identifying the taste, Zhen Cheng could feel the ingredients of thirty or forty kinds of traditional Chinese medicine, but the burnt and pungent taste was disgusting. Hearing Yao Lao say that he had eaten this since he was a child, Zhen Cheng had an urge to die. Needless to say, I guess I'll have to eat this stuff every day in the future.
Although a hundred were unwilling, Zhen Cheng still carefully held the jade bottle with his left hand, and then his right hand poured slightly, and several black pills the size of peanuts rolled down to Zhen Cheng's left hand.
"The first time you eat it, just eat one!" Yao Lao stared at the small pill in Zhen Cheng's hand, afraid that Zhen Cheng would eat more, and ordered coldly.
"Oh!" Zhen Cheng originally thought about it, no matter whether it was delicious or not, he had to fill his stomach first. Although this small bottle is not much, it is better than gnawing on the bark and eating grass roots. Hearing Yao Lao say that he could only eat one, Zhen Cheng almost cried. Does this TMD make people live? Is it enough to eat such a small peanut the size of a fingernail?
Although reluctant, Zhen Cheng quickly left one, put the other small pills back into the jade bottle, and then screwed the lid tightly and put it back into the distance.
"Don't underestimate this thing, eat one a day, it's enough!"
"What-" Zhen Cheng was completely shocked, or rather, a little angry.
Damn, is this old man mentally ill? Just such a small thing, is it better than the current compressed biscuit cow X? If you eat one pill a day, you will not be killed by this old man, but you will also starve to death. Bear it, you must endure it, find a chance to run away quickly, Mom's!
"Ignorance!" Yao Lao, who was sitting on a high bamboo bench, moved slightly, and there was an extra ginseng leaf with water droplets in his hand. Seeing that Zhen Cheng was still sitting on the ground stupidly, Yao Lao's wrist didn't move, and the ginseng leaves were sent to Zhen Cheng's face. "The extra meal for you, the pill and the ginseng leaf, I only eat it once a month. Look at you for half a month, you're still well-behaved, reward you! β
Zhen Cheng caught the ginseng leaf with his right hand, and held the pill in the palm of his left hand, and he wanted to commit suicide with tears in his eyes. How did you end up like a rabbit? Wrong, I'm not as good as a rabbit, at least the rabbit doesn't have to eat this black thing.
"This is an elixir?" Zhen Cheng held back the mania in his heart, looked at the black thing and asked.
"Strictly speaking, this is a waste pill! The herbs are precious, and I am not a top alchemist, so I can only eat it as a meal if I practice the waste pill! Every time I eat Waste Pill, I remind myself that I must not produce Waste Pill next time! Yao Lao's face suddenly showed a look of fortitude, and his expression was very similar to that of an athlete who would be sorry for the country if he didn't win the championship.
"Waste pill is also an elixir! I'll eat it! Zhen Cheng gritted his teeth and threw the waste pill into his mouth, and before he even tasted it, the waste pill rolled into his stomach.
"Eaten?" Zhen Cheng's movements were very quick, and Yao Lao's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhen Cheng with a flushed face.
"Eat, what's wrong?!" Zhen Cheng replied while stuffing the ginseng leaves into his mouth. Looking at Yao Lao's flushed appearance, Zhen Cheng intuitively felt that Yao Lao seemed to be going crazy again. Even if you are shot to death, you have to be a full ghost.
"The ignorant are fearless!" Yao Lao looked at Zhen Cheng with green juice flowing from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly waved his sleeve robe, and directly rolled Zhen Cheng out of the cave and threw it into the one-meter-five ditch. "Don't stain my herbs, stay in the gutter and don't come out, that's your task today! If you dare to go ashore, I will kill you! "Yao Lao's voice is very loud, very cold, and he hates iron not steel!
"Poof!" After Yao Lao's words were finished, Zhen Cheng once again felt the warm embrace of the hot spring.
