When I was camping, I encountered a big problem when I was in charge of cooking and stir-frying, that is, how to build a stove that could stir-fry vegetables. I have no experience in this matter, and the caravan's logistical "chief" Torou Sanren has not provided me with any constructive advice, and I have to figure out how to solve it myself.

Then I thought of a good idea that Master had casually mentioned to me. So, I found an earthen wall nearby, made the ruyi shovel longer, dug a suitable hole in the wall, and left a gap to observe and control the fire, which became a simple stove. Well, this ruyi shovel is really useful for digging soil!

I scooped up the rice in the creek, put the stream water and rice rack in a flat-bottomed rice pot and put it on top of the earthen stove that I had dug, poured some stone grease into the pit under the stove, lit the fire, and began to cook the rice.

Most of the plants in the underworld are shaded, and even if they are dried in the shade, it is difficult to attract open fire. But the fuel under the ground is not difficult to find, oil, biogas, natural gas can be found everywhere, and the underground veins can be dug out as soon as they are dug up. There are even places where the heat of the steam from the lava lake can be used to heat food.

However, the easiest thing to store and use is oil. There is no need for deep refining like the oil industry in the sun, as long as some ancient folk methods can be used to simply filter the crude oil to obtain the average purity of oil, you can start the fire for cooking. This kind of oil is called "stone grease" according to the ancient name.

Although the taste of the resin is a little pungent, it is easy to obtain and store, and it is also convenient to ignite. Therefore, most of the stone grease is used to ignite the open fire in the Yin City, but because it has to take into account the feelings of the ghosts, there are quite strict restrictions. In the kitchen of the Changshou Hotel, stone grease is used for stir-frying. Caravans that often had to walk on the road carried it with them as a necessary material.

While cooking, I used a ruyi shovel to dig out another earthen stove. This time, I put on the shelf a shield wok that I brought with me, and I was going to use it to stir-fry.

Speaking of which, the ancestor of the Ghost Dining Gate is indeed a ghost talent. Such a shield wok, a pot with multiple purposes, can not only be used as a shield to fight, but also to stir-fry, and can also be used for yang, yin, and ghost meals! It greatly lightens the burden of the caravans in the underworld!

Otherwise, do you have to bring three woks when you come out to walk the rivers and lakes? A pot of fried for people to eat, a pot of fried for ghosts, and a pot of fried for yourself?

However, my former "team chef" Lao Gu is probably not so particular. According to the bird meat, it would be good if he could take care of a pot of rice cooked for the living, and it is estimated that the ghost servants can only eat dry food throughout the whole process, not to mention any yin food.

However, after solving the problem of the stove, I had to face the dilemma of overly simple food varieties.

I asked the bird meat sanren to turn out all the ingredients in the logistics baggage and show me, and it turned out that the caravan had brought some of the simplest ingredients this time. Most of them are rice, flour, and a type of blue bean from the fields outside Kuizawa, as well as some dried porkfish (underground meat animals that resemble pigs), and pickled sauerkraut.

With just a few ingredients, what other special tricks can I come up with?

I had no choice but to make do with it. First, soak the dried porkfish meat and tear it up, then fry a large plate of sauerkraut and stir-fry the meat with sauerkraut, and cook a pot of blue bean soup, which is all done in less than half an hour. Then I summoned everyone over for dinner: "It's time to eat!" It's time to eat! ”

The other team members came to take a look and seemed surprised.

"Hey! There are still stir-fried vegetables to eat when you go out? ”

"Rice is also dry rice, let's not eat rice cereal today?"

"You're stupid! It's definitely still delicious, and I'm tired of eating rice cereal! ”

"When a new chef comes, there are new tricks, a good sign!"

"Well, it's delicious! Delicious! You guys talk so much nonsense, if you move a little slower, I'll eat it all! ”

It is really hard to be a layman, and these few simple meals can satisfy them. Everyone sat around and ate happily, and in a short time they ate all the rice and vegetables, and there was not a single grain left. On the ghost servant's side, I also helped them improve their food a little, threw the white caterpillars into the pot and fried them again, making a plate of stir-fried white caterpillars, and they were also very happy to eat.

The happiest thing is still bird meat, he finished eating the food of the living and came to join in the fun, and grabbed the fried white caterpillar with the ghost servant to eat. He munched on the white flower worm in his mouth and praised the taste: "The craftsmanship of professional chefs is different!" That guy Gu really should have gotten him away a long time ago! ”

Only Bu Ye was still expressionless, sitting alone in the distance and eating his meal. However, he ate two bowls in a row, which should be quite to his liking.

After eating, Bird Meat took the initiative to come over and help me clean the dishes. After cleaning up, he insisted on pulling me to chat, and his attitude changed 180 degrees!

This guy is a self-acquaintance, and after chatting a few words, he seems to have become a confidant with me, and he dares to ask anything and say anything. So I also asked him a question that I had wanted to ask for a long time: "You are wearing a Taoist robe, and you are also called a scattered person, are you a Taoist cultivator or a yin cultivator?" ”

"Hey! What's so strange about this? He laughed heartily, "I learned the Tao first, and then I cultivated the Yin." You say that what I am repairing is what I repair, haha! ”

"Then why is it called a bird meat scatterer?"

"This is the name my master gave me!"

"Master? What kind of master would give you such a name? I laughed too, this guy always speaks out of tune, and from time to time some inexplicable words come out.

Bird Meat is really a very talkative person, and he doesn't want to deliberately hide his past, and talking about his past is like telling a story: "My family lives in the mountains, so it's one word: poor!" My parents raised a total of eight children, and they really couldn't raise them, so they planned to send me to be a Taoist priest! ”

"Our place is also weird, specializing in Taoist priests. It's like where there are carpenters in other places, where a whole village of people go out to do carpentry, furniture, scaffolding, and so on. There are also some places that specialize in masonry, building houses, or acting troupes and singing, all of which have the same meaning. But we're a Taoist priest there! ”

"The reason for the debut is also very simple, it is still one word: poor! If there is a child in any family who can't support it, he will send it to the Taoist temple to become a Taoist. Because being a Taoist priest does not require special skills, just be able to recite scriptures, and can also ensure that there is food to eat, and you will not die of hunger. Of course, there are also individuals who are sent to the monk's temple to be monks, in fact, they are all the same. It's just that I hate shaving my head, so I refuse to be a monk. ”

"However, to become a Taoist priest, you also have to know people! Generally, it is to find relatives or fellow villagers to intercede as abbots and Taoist chiefs in Taoist temples, so that children can be sent in and start from Taoism. If the relationship is harder, go to the big Taoist temple, have enough oil and water, and after working for more than ten years to earn money, you can also come back and marry a wife. If you don't have money, you can only go to the more remote mountains and eat in small broken temples and small Taoist temples. ”

"My family is poor, and I don't have Taoist relatives, so it's not easy to become a Taoist priest. When I was nine years old, my family heard that there was a small Taoist temple near me that the old Taoist priest lacked apprentices, so he didn't need to ask for favors, so he sent me over overnight. That old Taoist priest is my master. ”

"My master is illiterate, so he can recite a Tao Te Ching, and he still memorizes it word by word with his master. However, the master has a heavy accent, and he can't learn it accurately, and he always mispronounces it for decades. He began by reading: 'Rice husk rice, gray rice; Life shell life, life will be long......'"

"I didn't understand it when I first went there, so I asked him what they meant in these verses. But he actually said that he didn't understand it very well, and it was probably about how to grow rice and what kind of braincase people look like will live a long life! ”

"Huh!" When I heard this, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't laugh! At that time, I was still young, and I actually believed it, and I was fooled by him for seven years! Bird Meat also shook his head with a wry smile.

"What about the name? You haven't talked about the name yet! ”

"That's right, my name!" The story of bird meat is finally going to get back to the topic, "Don't all Taoist priests have to have a Taoist name?" The Taoist priest in the countryside also has to take one, and the other one is good, if you don't even have a Taoist number, others will dislike you for being a fake Taoist priest and deceiving people! ”

"My master's name was given to him by his master, and it was called 'Gu Sanren', but he himself pronounced it as 'Bird Bone Sanren'! His master still knows a few words, and the name he chooses is also fresh and refined. But in my generation, he was uneducated himself, so he named his apprentices. He said that he usually hunted wild birds to eat, and he loved to gnaw bird bones, so he called it 'Bird Bone Sanren', and the rest of the bird meat was given to me to eat, so I should be called 'Bird Meat Sanren'! ”

"Haha! That's how you got your name! "I was also amused by the foolish master of bird meat.

"Hehe, it's good if I can call the bird meat scattered!" Bird Meat gloated, "My master and master also brought two apprentices before, but then they couldn't stand the hardships in the small Taoist temple and left, guess what their Taoist names are called?" ”

"What's it called?"

"One is called Bird's Head! One is called Bird's Claw! ”

"Hahaha! You're a master! I laughed out loud and gave him a remark: "However, fortunately, he didn't name you Bird Feather Sanren at the beginning, otherwise it would have been even worse!" ”

"That's right! Looks like I'll have to thank him! Hahaha! ”

We both laughed so much that our stomachs hurt and we almost rolled on the floor. When the other people next to him saw it, they all felt very surprised: "What's going on with these two people?" I was fighting last night, why are I like my brothers today? Hey, it doesn't seem like they're normal people! ”
