Chapter 4: The Secret Biography of the Hundred Flowers Sect

Hearing the words that Tie San dropped before leaving, Lu Zhe thought that the other party went back to get the utensils and came back to fill the mushrooms, and he waited for a long time. As a result, when it was dark, there was no trace of the triathlon.

"Did he forget it when he got home? Still haven't found a basket for mushrooms?" Lu Zhe looked confused as he prepared to wash.

Fortunately, there was enough wooden basin at home, so Lu Zhe found another wooden basin, poured the boiled hot water into the basin, and turned around to put the little tail behind him on the couch.

"Yun Niang, wash your feet." The little girl's dusty little feet were put into the hot water, and then they were lifted again, children don't like to wash their feet very much, Lu Zhe had to sit on the ground and began to wash the little girl's feet. I secretly thought in my heart that I must get the bench out as soon as possible.

"Brother......" Yun Niang looked at her brother, and said expectantly, "Yun Niang... Can Yun Niang sleep with her brother at night. ”

“?” Lu Zhe, who was concentrating on washing his sister's feet, raised his head and looked at Yun Niang with an envious face, and a warm smile appeared on the young man's face.

"Wow."

"Well, Yun Niang must be obedient and don't kick the quilt." Seeing that her brother agreed, the little girl showed a sweet smile, feeling that her brother was different from before, the previous brother never took himself to play, but also robbed himself of food, and occasionally killed himself, and now the brother, not only can make delicious pine pheasants and mushrooms, but also wash his own feet, before washing his feet is in the backyard with cold water on the line, and not much to wash his feet, I can't think of hot water to wash feet is so comfortable.

"If only my brother had been like this." The little girl squinted at her brother and thought to herself.

The little girl was very sensible, and after washing her feet, she picked up her little quilt and ran to Lu Zhe's couch.

At this time, it was completely dark, and the Lu Zhe brothers and sisters, who couldn't light the lamp, could only take advantage of the moonlight outside the door to barely finish washing, Lu Zhe brought his father's mattress and spread it on his couch, the weather was getting colder and colder, and he and his sister couldn't catch a cold. In this day and age, this is fatal. While thinking about it, he helped his sister wrap the quilt tightly, and then Lu Zhe closed the door and lay down on the couch.

As soon as I lay down, I heard a small sobbing sound next to me. Lu Zhe probably understood what was going on.

"Yun Niang, but you're afraid?"

"Brother, Yun Niang misses Aya A-Niang." Yun Niang, who was only a few years old, was like a wounded little beast at the moment, sobbing low at night.

"Yun Niang doesn't cry, my brother tells Yun Niang a story." It may be that the family affection in the blood of this body is at work, hearing Yun Niang's helpless words, Lu Zhe also had a sour nose, almost shed tears, and hurriedly comforted his sister.

"Hmm." Yun Niang replied in a low voice.

"A long, long time ago, far away in the east, there was an Aolai country, and there was a Huaguo Mountain in the Aolai country, and there was a ...... on Huaguo Mountain" Lu Zhe took out the big killer of children and teenagers in later generations - Journey to the West, and began to tell his sister the story of the stone monkey, it turned out that the Journey to the West of Old Man Wu was indeed a treasure for children, and soon, Yun Niang's sobbing stopped, and she listened to her brother tell the story of the monkey with relish.

When it came to the three-star cave of the slanting moon, the little people around him were already asleep, and Lu Zhe tucked the corners of the quilt for his sister again, and then lay down.

After a tiring day, he couldn't sleep at this time, Lu Zhe stared at the dark roof and began to think about what he was about to do.

Tomorrow morning he will go to see the fish pot, and then continue to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, to see if he can find a way to make a stone mill to make tofu, and also, to purify the coarse black salt cubes at home, winter is coming, he has to store food and enough firewood for himself and his sister before winter, the death rate of children in this era is amazing......

Thinking about it like this, Lu Zhe, who came up sleepy, also fell asleep.

At dawn the next day, Lu Zhe, who was thinking about the fish cage by the river, got up early in the morning, looked at his sleeping sister, Lu Zhe got up lightly, put on his clothes, and hurriedly walked to the river.

Along the way, Lu Zhe prayed that his fish cage would be effective, even a few small fish would be a precious meal for him and his sister.

Lifting the fish cage in the river with apprehension, Lu Zhe couldn't help but be overjoyed.

I have to say that because I haven't been caught, the fish in the river feel stupid, even if Lu Zhe uses such a simple device, he has caught a lot of fish.

When the fish cage was raised to the surface, Lu Zhe also saw a fish stuck at the end of the fish cage, almost more than 2 catties.

Satisfied, carrying the fish cage home, just arrived home, I saw that my sister had gotten up, saw my brother carrying things back, Yun Niang, who was boiling water in the stove, ran over with a bang.

"Brother, Shui Yunniang has already been cooked, brother, did you catch the fish and come back?" The little girl stared at the fish cage in her brother's hand, with a half-cut fish tail swinging on it, like a little gluttonous cat.

"Well, Yun Niang is really good, she knows that the water is boiled, and we eat fish at the morning meal. Go and get a big wooden tub. Complimenting his sensible sister in time, Lu Zhe walked home with the fish, and his sister agreed, and ran home like another gust of wind.

"Fish, lots of fish." Seeing Lu Zhe pour all the fish in the fish cage into the wooden basin, the sister next to him couldn't help but clap her hands and exclaim.

"Hey, hey, it's a lot." Lu Zhe also laughed, there are at least three fish more than a catty in the wooden basin, the largest one is the bearded catfish stuck at the mouth of the cage, which is three catties, and the remaining two are carp, one is almost one and a half catties, one is almost a catty, and there are many small fish left, to Lu Zhe's surprise, there are still a lot of yellow eels in the basin.

I don't know if there is a ban on eating carp at this time, but Lu Zhe can't care much, after giving his sister a task of cleaning mushrooms and spices again, Lu Zhe caught the remaining two big carps, wrapped a bag of mushrooms in leaves, carried the fish, held the mushrooms, and Lu Zhe came to the Lin house next door.

"No blame, what about your aunt?" As soon as he arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, Lu Zhe saw Lin Jiang's son chopping firewood at the door, so he asked.

"Ah Zhe, you are here, Ah Niang is in front of the stove, this is the fish you caught?" The young man chopping wood said angrily.

"Hmm." Lu Zhe said as he walked in the direction of the stove in his small courtyard.

Traveling to the Tang Dynasty, Lu Zhe was not convinced, and he was convinced by the ability of people in the mountain gate to take names, and the Lin family next door was a branch of the public loser, although it was a carpenter family, but the name was very atmospheric.

The only son next door is called Lin Wuyi, this name is the name used by the protagonists of later novels, and he is still the kind of character like the son of the turbid world who is fluttering in white clothes and handsome, which is in line with his setting of the children of the hidden mountain gate.

However, looking at the short and sturdy young man in front of him who was as black as Li Kui and with a figure like a stone pier, looking up at him and smiling, Lu Zhe felt like he was beeping.

"Tetsuwazi, you're here." Lin Jiang was burying his head in the stove when he heard Lu Zhe's voice and raised his head.

Lu Zhe hurriedly went over and handed the fish and mushrooms in his hand to Lin Jiang's hands.

"Yesterday Zhe caught some fish, and specially sent two tails to my aunt and Uncle Lin to try them, and this mushroom, which I found in the mountains according to the records of the Hundred Flowers Sect, is delicious, auntie, you can taste it."

"This baby, why are you so polite, you catch the fish yourself, eat it yourself, what are you sending it to me for? And this mushroom, which can also be eaten? Lin Jiang, who was cooking millet porridge, wiped his hands and said with a look of disgust. In this era, two fish are not a light gift for the mountain and wild people.

"Zhe also caught a lot, it's a pity that it will be bad if I can't eat it, besides, I can catch it again. And this mushroom is Zhe according to the records of the sect, picked in the mountains, yesterday Zhe has eaten a lot, the taste is good, to ensure that there is nothing to do, and there are many in the mountains. ”

"I'll just say that there was a big fragrance from Ah Zhe's house yesterday, it turned out that Ah Zhe was cooking mushrooms, this mushrooms are really so fragrant? And this fish, is it really Ah Zhe that you caught? Take me to catch it. Lin Wuyi's big black face also came up at this time.

"Go aside, foodie," Lin Jiang scolded his son, and then turned his head to Lu Zhe and said; "Zhewazi, you are a good boy, Aunt Xinyi has received it, but you should take these things home and eat them." Lin Jiang said as he pushed the fish and pine mushrooms back.

"Auntie, really, there are still a lot of mushrooms and fish at home, and I can catch them today." Seeing that Lin Jiang's refusal to accept it, Lu Zhe knew that the other party couldn't bear to ask for a gift from an orphan of his own, so he hurriedly stated to the other party that he could catch it again.

"Nonsense, isn't this fish easy to catch, the last time you fell into the water, wasn't it to catch fish? You still have Yun Niang at home, so you don't dare to go to the waterside in the future. Lin Jiang thought that Lu Zhe had fallen into the water before to catch fish to satisfy his hunger, and he was distressed and blamed.

"That's it, that's it, Ah Zhe, you better take it back. There is no shortage of food in my house, and you will never go to the stream again. The black young man was obviously also extremely simple, and he had just been hungry for fish, and at this time he also righteously persuaded Lu Zhe to take back the gift.

"I use my secret method to catch fish, I don't have to go into the water, I can catch a lot." Seeing that the two of them didn't believe it, Gu Daoyuan once again brought out his secret method.

"If it's the secret method of the Hundred Flowers Sect, I haven't seen your father use it before?" A deep and powerful voice came, and a short and sturdy man walked out of the Lin family's hall, it was the only carpenter in the village, Lin Lishui who Lu Zhe called to be the uncle of the Lin family.

"Because my aunt can't eat fish, Aya never catches it, but the method of catching fish is indeed the secret method of my Hundred Flowers Sect." Lu Zhe recalled, as if he had never eaten fish before, so he rolled his eyes and lied again.

"Really? Zhewazi, don't lie to your uncle. The short man looked at the young man in front of him, and always felt that this baby was very different from before.

"Really, I swear by the ancestors of the Hundred Flowers Sect, this is really my Hundred Flowers Sect's secret method of catching fish." Lu Zhe brought out the ancestors of the Hundred Flowers Sect again. That's a very heavy oath.

"Okay, since it's your secret method, I believe you are." The middle-aged man named Lin Haoshui nodded and stopped asking.

"The fish you caught with your own secret method, you can keep it for yourself, you don't have to give it to me. Tetsuwazi, go home. Lin Lishui said as he picked up the axe on the ground and began to chop wood.

"Uncle Hao learned that since weekdays, my uncle's family and my family have both good neighborliness and family friendship, and there are only two fish, and I ask my uncle and aunt not to refuse." Lu Zhe looked at Lin Lishui with firm eyes, looking like if you don't accept you, you just look down on my family.

"Even so, then I'll take it." Seeing that the other party said so, surprised by Lu Zhe's eloquence, Lin Haoshui only nodded, and then glanced at Lin Jiang, who hurriedly ran into the house, and after a while, came out with half a bag of millet rice.

"Zhewazi, you take it." Without saying anything, Lin Jiang handed the millet to Lu Zhe.

"How does this work?" Lu Zhe retreated again and again, refusing to accept it.

"Take it, your brother and sister, if you are short of food this winter, tell your aunt." Lin Lishui said without raising his head while chopping wood.

"There is still surplus food at home, enough for my brothers and sisters to survive, if there is really a shortage of food, Zhe will be cheeky to open up to his uncle and aunt." Lu Zhe refused to accept it.

"Even so, so be it." Seeing that Lu Zhe's refusal was very strong, Lin Lishui no longer insisted.

"Very good, very good." Seeing that the other party no longer shirked, the stone in Lu Zhe's heart was finally put down. After explaining how Lin Jiang cooked pine mushrooms, Lu Zhe walked up to Lin Lishui and gave a salute.

"Uncle has some time these days?"

"What?" Lin Lishui raised his head, his black eyes staring straight at Lu Zhe.

"I wonder if my uncle can make this?" Lu Zhe squatted down and drew a pattern of a bench and chair on the ground with a tree branch.

"It's ...... Hu stool? Why is this stool so high, and what is this thing next to it? Lin Lishui pointed to the pattern of the chair and asked Lu Zhe.

"The younger sister is young, and if she sits on her knees for too long, it is inevitable that her legs will be numb and her blood will not pass, so I thought of a new thing called a chair, which can make Yun Niang sit more comfortably."

"Not bad, not bad. The chair is also leaning, but it is also appropriate. Lin Lishui's eyes lit up, as a public heir, he could see at a glance that the chair was extraordinary.

"Boy, did you really come up with that?"

"Zhe naturally didn't dare to deceive his uncle." Lu Zhe patted his chest.

"Okay, good, Brother Lu gave birth to a good baby, but it's a pity that it's ......" The more Lin Haoshui looked at the chair, the more he felt good, and when he saw the son with a smirk on his face next to him, a trace of depression flashed on his face, and he swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"I have time these days, and the wood at home is also ready-made, so I'll come and get it in a few days."

"Thank you, uncle. By the way, Zhe also came up with a lot of utensils, and dared to ask his uncle to take a look. Seeing that the other party was willing to help him make stools and chairs, Lu Zhe, who was in a good mood, painted the Taishi chair, table, desk, and chest of drawers to Lin Haoshui in later generations. And explained to him one by one.

"It's a pity that Zhewazi, you are a member of the Hundred Flowers Sect." After listening to Lu Zhe talk about the design of the drawer, Lin Lishui, who was a little incredulous, looked at Lin Wuyi next to him, and finally said what he had just swallowed.

Don't think that drawers are very ordinary, before the Ming Dynasty, there were no drawers in China, and people only had cabinets and boxes for storage.

"Philosopher...... Zhewazi, can my uncle build these wooden tools in the future? Lin Lishui's old face flushed, and he said in the future, in this world, everyone attaches great importance to their own technology, and they are all passed on to men and women, the design of these wooden tools is ingenious, although Lin Lishui now knows the principle, but without Lu Zhe's permission, even if he understands how to make it, he can't just make it and pass it on. In his opinion, he reluctantly opened his mouth, and he was suspected of bullying children, but these utensils were too attractive to him, so he opened his mouth with a red face.

"Uncle is himself, and these are also given to uncle."

"Seriously!" Lin Haoshui's eyes widened.

"These patterns were given to my uncle. Tetsu left first. Lu Zhe looked at Lin Haoshui a little crazy, looking at the sketch on the ground, Lu Zhe was afraid that the other party would be stimulated by something, so he hastily agreed and ran home.

When he got home, Lu Zhe hurriedly washed Yun Niang's hands and face, and then began to process the fish he caught.

Pick out a few yellow eels and small fish, scrape off the scales, cut open the belly of the fish, throw the gills and fish internal organs into his fish cage, and then Lu Zhe washed the fish, cut the eel into sections, and threw the processed mushrooms and ginger slices into the crockpot.

After about 20 minutes, I silently recited a few words and did not get sick after eating, and threw the black salt cubes into the pot, and a fresh and milky white fish soup came out of the pot steaming.

Lu Zhe and Yun Niang had a bowl each, and drank it with their heads down.

"It's so fresh." A mouthful of fragrant fish soup drove away the chill of late autumn, and I felt that the whole person was warm. "Yun Niang, slow down, be careful of stabbing."

"Uh-huh." The younger sister didn't have time to answer, so she concentrated on dealing with the fish in the bowl, and the fish was gnawed clean by her, like a greedy little flower cat.

"Haha." Seeing his sister's eating appearance, Lu Zhe also felt that this late autumn morning was suddenly much warmer, and picked up a piece of pine mushrooms. The milky white soup soaked in this fat pine mushroom, which looked very attractive.

"This mushroom is very delicious." An old man in sackcloth suddenly appeared at the door, and he coldly stretched out his hand to look into the crockpot where Lu Zhe was cooking fish, and a piece of fat pine mushroom appeared in his hand, and the old man was not afraid of being hot, so he put the pine mushroom directly into his mouth and chewed it slowly. It was a long time before he spoke slowly.

"It's sweet, it's warm, it's good, it's really edible. As for its efficacy, it is not yet known. The old man's hand stretched out again, and a piece of pine mushroom appeared in his hand again.

This is when Lu Zhe saw clearly, in the old man's hand, it turned out to be a shiny silver needle. At this moment, a brown pine mushroom is sticking into the silver needle.

"Elder Ghost." Lu Zhe hurriedly got up and saluted.

The old man's surname is ghost, he is a descendant of the doctor's family, and he is also one of the elders of the village. However, it is said that he is extremely good at acupuncture, and ordinary bruises and injuries recover quickly after his needles.

"The kid of the flower planter, this mushroom called pine mushroom tastes very beautiful, but it was really discovered by the ancestor of your Hundred Flowers Sect?" The ghost elder knelt on the ground, staring at Lu Zhe with his eyes, the ghost elder was tall and thin, coupled with an ugly face, staring at his eyes at this time, a pair of eyes were like ghost fire, really like an old ghost, so frightened that Yun Niang put down the bowl and hid behind her brother.

"It was indeed discovered by the ancestor of my Hundred Flowers Sect." From yesterday to today, this question Lu Zhe has been asked many times, so he subconsciously answered.

"Hmph, this kind of mushroom is everywhere in the mountains, why didn't you Aya pick it up and eat it before, and, as far as the old man knows, your Aye A-Niang is not good at cooking, you claimed to be good at cooking yesterday, and the pine pheasant you cooked, Tie San praised it, plus today's fish soup, it is also delicious, this cooking technique, isn't it also the secret of your Hundred Flowers Sect."

Ay...... Lu Zhe sighed in his heart, it was the most familiar part of the novel, he still felt ridiculous when he read the book before, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that this is also the most effective means.

So, he had already prepared, and spoke: "Elder Qiyu, it's like this, that day, the kid unfortunately fell into a coma, and in a trance, I saw a strange man with hands over his knees, eyebrows one foot long, and clouds and fog, claiming to be a red pine nut, saying that he had a fate with the boy, and stroked the top of the boy with his hand, and then, Zhe's mind had a lot of things, and this cooking technique and mushroom were obtained from this person. ”

"What? Red pine nuts? Not only the ghost elder, but also Tie San, who was following him, was also taken aback, and they all showed expressions of disbelief.

"No wonder yesterday when I talked about the ancestor of the Hundred Flowers Sect, I could still tell the medicinal effect of this mushroom." Tetsuzo muttered to himself. As we all know, red pine nuts are under the pine tree, and this kid is also digging pine mushrooms, is it really related?

Yesterday Tie San had dinner at Lu Zhe's house, Lu Zhe not only told him that the mushroom could be eaten but also clearly said the name and efficacy of the mushroom, this obviously abnormal behavior made Tie San suspicious, after a night, determined that the mushroom was not poisonous Tie San, then found the ghost elder in the village, and told the ghost elder about Lu Zhe's behavior yesterday, and then the two of them visited Lu Zhe's house together.

"The baby of the flower planter, what you said is true?" The ghost elder grabbed Lu Zhe, and he didn't know why an old man had so much strength, and it hurt to catch Lu Zhe.

"In a trance, it seemed that there was such a thing, Zhe thought it was a dream, but when he woke up, he had a lot of things in his head." Lu Zhe was in pain and pretended to be ignorant.

"Hahaha, God bless my mountain gate." The ghost elder laughed wildly, looking more like a demon, and Yun Niang behind him was about to cry in fright.

The ancients originally believed in ghosts and gods, and the story of Lu Zhe's dream meeting immortals was also very marketable among the ancients. Before, the ghost elder thought that there were other people in the mountain gate who had discovered this place, and taught Lu Zhe behind his back, but he didn't know what An's heart was, but under his own inquiry, Lu Zhe told the story of meeting the immortal in his dream, and the ghost elder looked at the baby's face The expression did not seem to be fake, and the ghost elder had a good memory, he recalled it carefully, as if the little baby in front of him had never been out of the village, so in the face of Lu Zhe's immortal teaching, he originally believed in ghosts and gods, and he chose to believe it for the first time.

Thinking about it, it was originally an ignorant child, but suddenly he knew a lot of secret techniques and secrets as if he had opened his mind, and no matter where these secrets and secrets were placed, they were all secrets that could not be passed on, and they were not at all accessible to him as a child, and the only possible explanation was really taught by immortals.

"Tell the people in the village to let all the women and boys in the village go up to the mountains to pick this mushroom. The old man has seen this kind of mushroom, which grows under the pine trees, and there are many in the mountains, and he has picked them all, and he will be carefree this winter. The ghost elder stroked his beard with satisfaction, and then waved his hand and ordered.

"No!" Triathlon was also extremely happy, and then quickly ran away.

Since then, for this small village, a vigorous pine mushroom picking campaign has begun.
