Chapter 10: Rice Grains

Moyun raspberry, even in the cloud palace on the top of Kunlun Mountain, there is still wind, rain, thunder and lightning. The thunder and lightning roared, the big beads and small beads fell into the bamboo forest, and the birds and animals in the bamboo forest had long been aware of the changes in the weather and had already found a place to hide; Wind and rain, the bamboo forest is blown by the wind, accompanied by thunderstorms are cold. The small bamboo house revealed a warm light, and the pearl was lying next to the pillow of Kerr, and the two mussel shells were opened, and the spirit beads in the shell kept emitting warm light, resisting the cold of the wind and rain, and warming the people it loved the most.

Ke'er slept very soundly, occasionally unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, it was sweet to dream, and when she woke up, it happened to be slightly bright.

"Such a heavy rain is suitable for the growth of grass plants and tree species, and after the rain, it will be 'poof~' top-notch." "The Cloud Palace is located on the top of Kunlun Mountain, but there is such a spiritual place as Gongling Palace, the land is not big, but the aura of the world is condensed everywhere, it's really good!"

Ke'er is used to getting up early, sleeping well all night, and taking care of herself after getting up to prepare for today's study.

"Finally going to see Master Li Bai... Yes! ”

Boom~ A thunderbolt struck, startling Ke'er, "It looks like this rain is going to fall for a day, but I still have to go to the master." ”

It was stormy outside, and Ke'er put on a coat and a bamboo leaf hat and ran quickly in the direction of the south courtyard.

Boom~~ Ke'er just took off her coat and shook off the water, only to see the melon skin standing behind her, with a grass in her mouth, looking at herself seriously.

"Master...... Early. ”

"Morning, let's go in."

"Huh?" Ke'er looked at the melon peel incredulously, and wondered: Is this my master? When did it become so normal?

When I entered the space, I was surprised by Guapi, and the whole space has been transformed by Guapi himself! On both sides of the entrance is two thin passages made of stone walls, and along the waterway, a stone house built of granite is facing the door.

Ke'er pointed to the stone house and asked, "Master, is that?" ”

Guapi replied unhappily, "Brewing stone house." Then he walked to another room.

Following the master, there is another room in the whole space, which is not made of stone, but mixed with various broken woods, which looks like an eggshell covered with wooden strips. Coincidentally, the eggshell opened a mouth, and there was a new sandalwood bed inside, a pillow and a futon, a broken sword hanging diagonally on a wooden branch sticking out of the wall, and a wine gourd hanging at the head of the bed.

The master is rarely serious, and he didn't drink alcohol. Ke'er glanced at the wine jug, the wine jug was empty, turned his head and looked at the master's whole person, his hair had been tied, and his clothes were still the same tattered things, but his face was clean, and there was no drunken melon skin There was a deep feeling in his eyes, and the whole person looked very refreshing, with three points of quietness...... Of course, this is just when he is not drunk, where does he usually come from like this?

"I heard you're on the list." The serious melon peel suddenly spoke

"Uh-huh, master, I was about to tell you, how is it? Isn't it good to be a disciple? ”

Ke'er looked at the melon peel with anticipation, thinking that she would be praised, but she was immediately splashed with cold water by the melon peel. Guapi said casually: "It doesn't matter to me that you are on the top or not, anyway, having that Miss Du Fu with you makes me a lot easier." "I don't need to teach, but I take the honorarium from the Cloud Palace, why not do it?"

Ke'er's heart was lost all of a sudden, but she heard Guapi add: But I am also your master, I can't teach you nothing, it's just that I don't teach any swordsmanship skills, power explosion, stealth change...... Are those things that people should practice? I don't care if you're the number one or the number of tails, what you learn from me has no skills at all.

Ke'er was so excited when she heard this, she thought that Guapi didn't teach anything, "Then the master wants to teach me?" ”

The melon peel is very serious, "It is necessary to make wine, make a perfect rice trough." ”

"Huh?" I heard Guapi say it a few days ago, but how could I think it was so fast.

"Oh yes, I want to tell you that from now on I will live in the South Courtyard, and if you want to find me, you will come directly to the South Courtyard."

Ke'er nodded, looking innocent. "Is the master living in the South Courtyard for me? Apprentices are the number one to be cultivated with heart? ”

"Pei a yarn, the thunderstorm washed my nest, fortunately I have been preparing in the south for the past few days, otherwise I would not have seen your master and me."

?? ……

The melon skin brought Kerr to the stone house, "The rice trough is divided into soft and hard, hot and cold. The rice trough in this stone house is made of cold rock, the rock is used as the whole trough base, and then a round hole is opened with stone tools, and the opening is sanded with a grinding stone, and then water is poured into the rock. Because it is a cold rock as the foundation, so the water injection must be cold, if you use hot water, cold and hot collision, the result is to destroy the groove foundation, cold rock is the worst cornerstone, this can not be helped. "Remember?"

Ke'er was stunned and shook her head.

"Hey~~Also on the list~Tsk~ It's that the rice trough made of this cold rock can't be connected to hot water, and the heating capacity of the cold rock is worse than that of ordinary stones, but the cold rock is the choice of many restaurants, and it is the best rice trough for making cold wine." "Did you see the two small passages that came in at the door? I paid for it, and the flowing water melted from the cold ice on the north side of the nearest Kunlun Mountain, and flowed into my stone house, turning over and over again, and it was the soul of the whole wine. ”

"So what we're going to do is a cold rock rice trough?" Keer asked curiously

"Make a soft rice trough."

"Huh?"

"Don't be surprised, it's not that the teacher looks down on you, it's that the teacher's money can't stand you. The cold rock is fragile, and you haven't learned to control the power, so I'll teach you when you and the eldest lady of the Du family learn to control it. "The soft rice trough is suitable for you, since ancient times, the soft rice trough has been the most suitable for women to make wine, and the famous wines made from the soft rice trough are mulberry elm wine, longan wine, dragon beard wine...... Soft is soft, women are feminine, you learn this tube list to get started. ”

With that, Guapi took Ke'er out of the stone house and walked towards his house. "There is still some wood left in the makeshift house made of miscellaneous wood, so you can use this wood." Guapi pointed to the large round wood on the ground.

"These are corks that have been passed down from the Nether, and the wood is good, but it is difficult to chisel. You learn from me and chisel it. ”

As soon as he said it, Guapi picked up the sharp blade and long teeth, and handed Kerr a small serration by the way. Pick up a log, remove the rotten wood at both ends with his teeth, and peel the skin with a sharp blade; Hammers and nails jingle in the heart of the wood......

It's a whole day, and it's all physical work. On the way, the melon peel also taught Ke'er how to choose rice and fill water, and it was dark after finishing these.

The original wood became a rectangular rice trough, and two soft rice troughs allowed the melon skin to soak in water, and then returned to his house, picked up the wine gourd and walked to the stone house to hold half a cup of cold wine, and drank it in a big gulp.

Guapi took out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve and soaked it in water, approached Ke'er, and pressed ~ on her head. Suddenly, Ke'er's head was cold, and she felt comfortable.

"You can do this well in the rice trough for the first time, maybe this is your qualification......" said this sentence, and Guapi walked away.

Ke'er took the handkerchief on her head, wiped the sweat off her head, put the handkerchief away, looked at the back of the melon peel walking, and a question was born in her heart.

Suddenly shouted: "Master, when will you teach me swordsmanship?" ”

The melon poked its head out of the eggshell house and stuck it out. Ke'er put down the utensils in her hand and walked to the melon skin, "Master, when are you?" ”

"Stop, I don't know swordsmanship, I want to teach you another master."

"But I saw you wielding a sword. Why don't you teach me? It's so strong. ”

Guapi was not angry, "I won't, if I will, I will definitely teach you, I only know now, only wine." For a glass of spare wine, do you want me to teach swords? ”

Ke'er pointed to the hanging remnant sword, "But you used this sword to save me in the first place." ”

"Hey... This sword is also a crippled sword, and I am also a crippled man. Don't expect me to teach you kendo anymore, I won't, that's all for today, and come back tomorrow. ”

"Obviously, the master will know, but he said no, strange ......" The apprentice said that he couldn't help the master, and Ke'er had to go back.

Out of the South Courtyard, there was still thunder and roaring outside, wind and rain, and under the gloomy sky, Ke'er quickly ran back to Gongling Palace. As soon as I got to the door, I hit Zero.

"Great, I have something to change senior!"

Seeing that it was the dragon girl, she greeted her with a smile. "What's the matter?"

"I want to know the master's deeds, how did he come to the Cloud Palace, and what did he do before?"

Zero thought for a while, "Your master was born in the Du family, one of the six families of the former Wan Shi, and she is the eldest lady of the Du family......"

"It's not Master Du Fu, it's Master Li Bai."

…… Zero was shocked, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said nothing.
