Chapter 404: The Sons Enter the Mountain, and a Hundred Schools Greet the New Year (I)
Chinese tradition, during the New Year's holidays, the guys in the kitchen have to make an auspicious, satisfying, and wishful thinking.
Usually the bowl has to be placed six, eight, ten, these auspicious mathematics, symbolizing the six six Shun, the meaning of perfection.
For the most important festival of the year, such as the Spring Festival, the "Ten Bowls" can best represent the festive atmosphere of the New Year's perfect and reunion.
The sky is getting brighter, the mottled snow scene between the sky and the earth is gradually transparent, and the cold air is no longer so overwhelming.
Wutong Mountain, a small courtyard in the mountains.
Monk Konghui didn't take much time to sweep the snow from the courtyard.
However, at Jiang Xiaolu's request, a piece of snow under Lao Tao was not cleaned.
After the little girl was groomed and dressed, she grabbed the snow with her bare hands and grinned and deliberately threw it at the little milk dog's rhubarb, and had a snowball fight with the little milk dog Rhubarb who was screaming and jumping left and right in the yard.
After playing crazy for a while, she built a snowman again, and her little hands were red, not afraid of the cold to play with the most imaginative and poetic things of children in this winter.
The young monk Konghui watched with interest as this "little uncle" played with great interest, and pointed out a sentence or two from time to time.
And his master, the old monk Kongming, sat at the door of the small courtyard by himself, rubbing the rosary in his hand, looking at the distant mountains, not knowing whether to look at the scenery or think about something.
The front yard is clean and pleasant, like a moving landscape painting.
The backyard is much more lively, full of fireworks in the world.
"Nourishing ......"
In the kitchen with the smell of fireworks, Jiang Xiaobai took the spoon and poured a spoonful of oil into the hot cauldron.
Immediately, there was a sound of "nourishment", and the fragrance of oil overflowed.
In the stove below, there is a lively "crackling" sound, and the firewood is burning.
"Garlic, ginger. ”
He said sideways.
After speaking, the slender figure on his side came over.
After helping the little girl clean up and wash up, Li Shuiyue, the princess of the ancient country, came to the back kitchen to help.
She was holding a kitchen knife with chopped green onions and ginger on the side of the knife.
Walk to the stove and use a fair-skinned hand to pull the chopped green onion and ginger into the pot.
Add green onion and ginger to the boiling oil and stir-fry immediately.
"Is the fish packed? ”
Jiang Xiaobai shouted at the kitchen again.
"Here we are. ”
Outside the kitchen, Hatsune answered, and then with a strip in his hand, he washed it, cut out the internal organs, and the fresh fish that was more than two feet long came in.
"Give it to me. ”
Jiang Xiaobai wanted to take the fish.
"I'm going to throw it in. ”
Hatsune didn't give it, a pair of black eyes stared at the oily pot overflowing with oil, and he smiled and wanted to throw himself into the pot, as if he thought it was fun.
"Master, can you throw it in now?"
She also asked Jiang Xiaobai with a look of "expectation".
"Wait. ”
Jiang Xiaobai thought it was funny, shook his head slightly, took the spatula and moistened the hot oil on the side of the pot twice, and when he saw that it was about the same, he chuckled and nodded.
"It's time to get out of the pot. ”
Then Hatsune took the fresh fish and carefully put it into the oil and water from the tail of the fish to the edge of the pot.
The flesh and skin of the fish are immediately "sizzled" in the boiling oil, and the oil is fried into a golden brown and crispy, appetizing golden red color.
Jiang Xiaobai began to swing a shovel and stir up.
When fried until golden brown on both sides, take out a few large spoons of "water chili" (chopped chili pepper and salt concoction) from the jar and sprinkle it on the fish.
Immediately, the fresh aroma of the fish and the salty aroma of the water pepper are washed out.
Jiang Xiaobai added a large spoonful of water to the pot and simmered to absorb the flavor.
The pot is full of fragrance and seductive luster.
Hatsune watched with shiny eyes on the side, and stood still for a few minutes.
"I said you girl, don't stand and drool, when you will naturally have a good mouth, the ingredients will be processed?"
Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyes and laughed.
"Hehe... Then I'll go."
Hatsune smashed her mouth, then smirked like a wind chime, and went back to work.
Then, the kitchen continued to tinkle, and the smell of food overflowed.
The three of them have to prepare ten bowls, and they have to rush the heat, so this kitchen is full of busy, lively smells.
It's full of festive flavors.
.............
At this time, the mountains near Wutong Mountain are full of people.
Someone stepped into the sky and flew clouds, streaking a white wave in the sky;
Some people stepped on stones and flew branches, jumping between the dense forests of the mountains and forests;
More people stepped on the air and stepped on the waves, sailing forward along the green and secluded Emerald River;
There are Taoist priests dressed in blue, black, yellow, and white;
There are monks dressed in green and yellow;
There are also people who wear modern clothes
..........
There are all kinds of clothes, and all kinds of people come and go.
Eventually, they came to Wutong Mountain.
The people who came were all from the cultivation world, and many of them were well-known in the cultivation world, and most of them knew each other.
"Yo, the head of the Gongsun family, you're here too!"
"Master Song, you can come, why can't I, Yan, come?"
"Hehe, Gongsun Daoyou, Song Daoyou, don't come harmless. ”
"Haha, Lord Chen of Qingyun Mountain is also here. ”
"Today's first day of the Lunar New Year, is an auspicious day of the year, the real person is the backbone of Kyushu, the contemptible people came to try their luck, for the real person to pay New Year's greetings, hehe, I can't imagine that you and I want to go together. ”
That Chen Guan Lord, a half-hundred old man, with long gray hair, couldn't help but stroke his beard and smiled.
"Qingyun Mountain is thousands of miles away from here, and Chen Guanzhu's heart can be learned, which makes me admire. I also came to pay New Year's greetings to the real people this time, and by the way, I paid some tribute to the real people, and talked about the grace of the preaching of the real people in Longhu Mountain. ”
The surname Gongsun, Ziyun, is the contemporary head of the family handed down from the Gongsun family of the Hundred Families, he had the honor to go to Longhu Mountain to listen to Jiang Xiaobai's preaching, and he was deeply benefited, and his cultivation has made great progress in these few months.
This time, firstly, I am grateful to Jiang Zhenren for his original preaching, and secondly, because Jiang Zhenren is now very powerful in Kyushu, and he is the most prestigious land immortal, who is admired and feared by the world, and it is also very reasonable in terms of etiquette to come to pay New Year's greetings.
"It turns out that Gongsun Daoyou also prepared something, hehe, so did the contemptible, and brought some small things in case he lost his manners in front of the real person."
Among the three, another middle-aged man with a slender horse face smiled with feeling, and took out a black wooden box a foot long and thumb-wide from his sleeve.
"What did Song Daoyou bring?"
The half-hundred-year-old man, a monk surnamed Chen, was a casual cultivator, and when he saw that both of them had brought tribute, his heart sank a little. He is a casual cultivator, his family background is thin, although he has made some fame in the cultivation world, but he does not have any family background, at this time, seeing that the two of them have brought tribute, so in comparison, others have brought it, but he has not brought it, there is a little difference.
His face moved slightly, and he asked.
"This is a thousand-year-old agarwood, which can make people concentrate and calm down, and it is beneficial to practice into the home, this thing is not a treasure, and I don't have any family background in my door, of course, with the vision of a real person, these things must be shabby, but in the next is just to offer this thing to express my heart,"
The master surnamed Song opened the black wooden box in his hand and introduced.
There is a piece of agarwood lying in the wooden box, which is of good color quality.
"What is the head of the Gongsun family bringing, let me and others also see it. After he finished the introduction, he turned his gaze to the head of the Gongsun family with a smile.
"Hehe, it's just some strange skills I made myself, Jiang Zhenren has a little sister, it's good to give her a thing, it's nothing. ”
The head of the Gongsun family smiled and took out a square wooden block like a Rubik's cube, painted with wood color.
"Jiang Zhenren loves his little sister the most, and the idea of the head of the Gongsun family is much more clever, hehe. ”
"Laugh, laugh ....."
(Rhubarb is critically ill, I'm worried in the last two days, take good care of it, and then send it away, that's the only way.) )
