Chapter 12: The Eighth Cook

For three days in a row, Ling Chi didn't go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers again, and almost all of his time was spent on the nine dishes made by Bai Suzhen.

The first dish, a simple tomato scrambled egg, Bai Suzhen cooked for the first time, although the appearance did not look good, but the taste was ...... It's not bad, there is the level of a family cook.

The second course, the green pepper stuffed meat, the heat is not too good, the green pepper skin is a little mushy, but overall it is passable, after all, the difficulty is much higher than the tomato scrambled eggs, Ling Chi gave a qualified score.

The third course, the vinegar fish in West Lake, has improved the heat control a lot, the overall degree of completion is relatively high, and the white light is flashing.

Fourth, steamed dumplings, the dough is thin and uneven, but within the acceptable range, the taste of the filling is very good, and the white light is more intense.

The fifth course, toasted bread, although it was limited by the conditions and could not make the bread of a modern bakery, Bai Suzhen successfully made bread with a completion rate of 68%, and Ling Chi finally smiled.

The sixth course, the meatballs, is quite delicious, with a high degree of completion, and flashes with a blue light.

The seventh course, roast duck, starts from slaughtering, scalding, and finally roasting out of the oven, and uses a blade duck, which is visible to the naked eye, and the blue light is more conspicuous.

The eighth course, claypot rice, the heat is very good, all the ingredients are very good, the completion is more than 70%, and the blue light is very stable.

The ninth course, egg fried rice, hey egg fried rice, is the easiest and most difficult...... Bai Suzhen followed the steps, and the completion rate exceeded 75%, and the blue light soared into the sky, making Ling Chi smile extremely satisfied.

"Ling Gongzi, how is it?" Seeing Ling Chi smiling after eating the last dish of egg fried rice, Bai Suzhen asked a little nervously.

Ling Chi said: "Very good, you have a great talent for cooking, help me cook in the future!" ”

Bai Suzhen: "......"

Xiaoqing was angry: "What do you mean by helping you cook?" What do you think of your sister? ”

Ling Chi glanced at her and said lightly, "Cook, what's wrong?" ”

Xiaoqing laughed angrily: "You still say to help the cook? What's wrong? I'd like to ask you, what does helping the cook have to do with immortality? You'd better give us a reasonable explanation, or don't blame us for being rude to you. ”

"How can you not be polite?" Ling Chi sneered: "Can you beat me?" ”

"......" Xiaoqing is crazy: ヽ(#'Д??)?? ┌┛〃

"Alright." Bai Suzhen calmed Xiaoqing down and said, "Young Master Ling, in fact, the question Xiaoqing asked just now, I also want to know, is there anything related to immortality in these kitchens?" ”

"Of course there is." Ling Chi said: "There are only sixteen assistant chef seats under my hands, seven have been used up so far, and there are seventeen left, as long as you become a helping chef, you can live forever." ”

"What!?" Xiaoqing began to shout again: "Can you become a helper and live forever?" Are you kidding. ”

Ling Chi glanced at her and said, "If you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist." Also, you repeatedly use ignorance as a personality, which seems stupid to me. For your sister's sake, I'll spare you this time, but next time you dare to talk nonsense and contradict me, don't blame me for being rude. ”

Xiao Qing noticed Ling Chi's imperceptible anger, and immediately didn't dare to speak, and lowered her head aggrievedly: Damn!

Bai Suzhen hurriedly said: "Xiaoqing is just worried about me, so she will not choose to speak, and I hope that Ling Gongzi will not be angry." ”

Ling Chi smiled faintly: "Didn't I say it!" If it weren't for your face, she wouldn't be standing here now, but you must understand that my easy-going attitude towards you just because I am by nature does not mean that I have no temper, and for thousands of years, none of the people who have angered me have ended well. ”

Xiao Qing who said these words was cold all over her body, her legs trembled, and Bai Suzhen also stagnated slightly, feeling Ling Chi's majesty for the first time.

Su Mei's eyes are like a crescent moon, and her smile is like a fox, and the scene in front of her is really interesting.

Bai Suzhen took a deep breath and said, "Young Master Ling, I am willing to be your cook." ”

"Oh?" Ling Chi smiled: "Clever choice." ”

The stiff atmosphere dissipated, and Bai Suzhen also breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What should I do?" ”

"Don't do anything, wait." Ling Chi disappeared in place in an instant, shocking Bai Suzhen: This is ......

"Recruit Bai Suzhen as a cook."

"Ding, the eighth gang of chefs Bai Suzhen, successfully recruited."

……

Early the next morning, when Xiaoqing was combing Bai Suzhen's hair, she saw that Bai Suzhen seemed to have something on her mind, and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?" Why don't you talk all the time? ”

"It's fine." Bai Suzhen said softly: "I just feel that my life is too wonderful, and I never know what I will encounter in the next moment?" ”

"Oh?" Xiaoqing said: "Why did my sister suddenly think about this? ”

"It's just a moment." Bai Suzhen smiled slightly and said, "Xiaoqing, what are your plans in the future?" ”

"Follow my sister!" Xiaoqing didn't think about it and blurted out.

Bai Suzhen's heart warmed, and she smiled: "Silly girl, what if I'm not there, what will you do?" ”

"Okay, how could my sister not be there!" Xiaoqing didn't think deeply at all, and said: "Besides, I will always be by my sister's side, and wherever my sister goes in the future, Xiaoqing will go, and we will never be separated." ”

Bai Suzhen, who said this, became more and more moved: "You girl, you just say it with a mouth." ”

"Not really!" Xiaoqing pouted: "What Xiaoqing said is true, sister, you wronged me." ”

"Hehe, okay, it's all my sister's fault, my sister apologizes to you." Bai Suzhen smiled.

"Hee-hee, it's good that my sister knows her mistakes, I forgive my sister." Xiaoqing's smile was very innocent, which also made Bai Suzhen make up her mind.

……

"Let me contract Xiaoqing?"

After breakfast, Bai Suzhen found an excuse to branch Xiaoqing out, and then asked Ling Chi in the backyard pavilion to let Xiaoqing also become his contract spirit animal.

After Ling Chi heard this, he frowned: "You know that my requirements for contract spirit beasts are very high, back then, the contract Mei'er was because Mei'er was born according to the talent of the fox clan and the snake clan, and the panda fat was born with a yin and yang dao fetus, and what does Xiaoqing have?" She's just an ordinary snake spirit, maybe talented enough, but not so high that I am moved. ”

"I know." Bai Suzhen said softly: "But I asked Xiaoqing ...... this morning"

Telling the conversations when combing her hair as soon as possible, Bai Suzhen knelt in front of Ling Chi and said, "Although I have known Xiaoqing for a short time, I know that Xiaoqing really treats me as a sister, and now that I have lived and died with my son, I only hope that Xiaoqing can be by my side, even if it is only for her to be a maid." ”

Ling Chi looked at her and said, "It's the same with recruiting as a farmer or herdsman. ”

Bai Suzhen shook her head: "That will only confine her to the farm and pasture, and she will not be able to come to the outside world." ”

Ling Chi said lightly: "With Xiaoqing's temperament, it is inevitable that there will be trouble in the future, what should I do then?" ”

"......" Bai Suzhen was silent for a moment and said, "I am willing to bear it with all my might." ”

Ling Chi sighed lightly and shook his head: "Your commitment means that it is irretrievable, and I will not leave this hidden danger." ”

"But, Xiaoqing, she ......"

"I won't contract her, let's die of this heart!" Ling Chi said categorically.

Bai Suzhen's face suddenly turned gloomy and was silent.

Seeing that she was still kneeling on the ground, Ling Chi knew her thoughts, pondered for a moment, and said, "Aren't you still giving up?" ”

"I am like a sister to Xiaoqing, and I will not leave her alone." Bai Suzhen said.

Ling Chi looked at her deeply, got up and said, "Then you can kneel!" ”

With that, he walked out of the gazebo. Su Mei glanced at Bai Suzhen and chased after her.

After walking far, Bai Suzhen still knelt in place and did not get up.

Su Mei turned around and saw this scene and said, "Brother Ling, why don't you agree to her?" ”

Ling Chi said lightly: "If you agree to any rude request, it will be too cheap, and look at her sincerity!" ”

"Oh?" Su Mei was already a smart woman, and after a little thought, she knew Ling Chi's plan. He tilted his head slightly to look at him, squinted and smiled, "Brother Ling is still as wise as ever!" ”

"Just do what you want." Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "The weather is good today, let's go!" Go to Lingyin Temple. ”

"Lingyin Temple?" Su Mei asked, "Do you want to see that crazy monk?" ”

"He's not a mad monk." Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "It has been more than twenty years since the Western Dragon Descending Arhat was reincarnated. ”

Su Mei's eyes widened.

……

Xiaoqing returned to Ling's Mansion and saw her sister kneeling in the pavilion in the backyard, almost blowing up her hair and not mentioning it, Ling Chi and Su Mei came to the outside of Lingyin Temple, and as soon as they landed, they heard a sound of scolding coming from inside the temple.

"Amitabha, Daoji, Daoji, you are really sinful, how can you eat dog meat! Amitabha, sins and sins. Don't get rid of the dog meat yet! You...... Why are you still eating faster? I'm so, hurry! Come on, people throw away the dog meat! ”

"......" Ling Chi and Su Mei walked into the temple, and saw a group of monks surrounding a crazy monk with broken shoes, broken hats, and torn robes, snatching the dog's leg in his hand.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, not to mention that in the face of the siege of five or six monks, this crazy monk couldn't hide after all, and the dog meat in his hand flew out in the snatching and fell into the well not far away.

The scene was quiet, and the crazy monk laughed and said: "I eat dog meat, and I just broke the vows alone, now it's okay!" Everyone is about to break their vows. ”

"Huh!?" The big monk who took the lead broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said to the young monks: "What are you doing in a daze!" Quick, get the dog's leg out! ”

The young monk hurriedly used a bucket to fish for the dog's legs, but after fishing for a long time, he found that there was no dog meat at all, only a wine gourd.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the mad monk had an extra dog leg in his hand that had been gnawed a lot, and laughed: "Don't look for it, the dog meat is here!" ”

"Huh!?" The great monk said angrily: "Daoji, you are teasing me again!" Good...... Okay, okay, okay, I ask you, what day is it? ”

The mad monk known as Dao Ji nibbled on dog meat and asked, "What day?" ”

"You...... How do you pretend to be crazy and stupid!? The big monk put his hands behind his back, very angry, and went up to grab Daoji's arm: "Let's go, let's go see the elder, go!" ”

Dao Ji was reluctant to go, although he struggled, he couldn't withstand the strength of the great monk, and he was about to be dragged away. At this moment, Ling Chi stepped forward and said, "But Daoji Monk? ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked over.

At this glance, the great monk's eyes suddenly lit up: what a gold lord in a brocade robe...... Ahem, donor. It's just that the woman next to her is a little charming, and it seems to be the benefactor's concubine.

The great monk hurriedly let go of his hand and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, the donor has come to Lingyin Temple to offer incense?" ”

Ling Chi waved his hand: "I'm looking for Daoji, you can play while you go." ”

The great monk's face suddenly froze, and he was furious, if it weren't for Ling Chi's seemingly good background, he would have been furious.

However, Dao Ji looked at Ling Chi, his eyes flashed, and he smiled: "It's coming to me, seeing that the donor is wearing a brocade sleeve robe at a young age, he must be a rich man, can you give me some incense money and let me buy some wine to drink?" ”

Ling Chi smiled slightly, and casually threw over a gold ingot: "This money is enough for you to buy the wine in the entire restaurant, is it enough?" ”

The big monk and the young monks were suddenly sucked away by the ingot of gold, and they were already greedy.

Dao Ji grabbed the ingot of gold and said with a smile: "Enough, enough, thank you donor, my dog meat is fragrant, do you want to taste it?" ”

"I'm not blessed with your dog meat." Ling Chi said, "Why don't I make a few side dishes myself, let's eat some together?" ”

"Wow!" Daoji's eyes lit up, and his saliva fell down: "Let's go, let's go!" ”

Ling Chi smiled slightly: "Please." ”

Seeing Ling Chi and Dao Ji walking away like a dumb riddle, the great monk's face turned red and pale, and finally smashed his fist on the trunk: "Okay, you Dao Ji, you wait, this matter is not over!" ”

After several young monks waited for the big monks to leave, they opened the wine gourd and took turns to drink.

……

As soon as he left the Lingyin Temple and walked to a place where no one was around, Ling Chi asked, "Descending Dragon, how did you become like this?" Drink wine and eat meat, if the Buddha can spare you? ”

Seeing Ling Chi break through his predecessor with one word, Dao Ji laughed and said, "Isn't it good for me!" What about drinking wine and eating meat? Wine and meat passed through the intestines, and the Buddha stayed in his heart. ”

"Your words will bring bad to future generations of monks." Ling Chi said with a smile.

Dao Ji smiled again and said, "If the world learns from me, it will be like entering the devil's way." ”

Ling Chi chuckled: "Crooked, you only allow the state officials to set fires, and you don't allow the people to light the lamps." After a pause: "What's more, if it weren't for Emperor Wu of Liang's order to prohibit it, you monks would have eaten meat in the first place." ”

"Hahaha, at this time, he is also." Dao Ji smiled: "The Buddha has a thousand faces, so it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions!" ”

Ling Chi shook his head and said, "I have also studied Buddhism, and your trick is to deceive ordinary people, and it is useless for me." After all, isn't it to promote the influence of Buddhism and make people believe in you? ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Daoji smiled: "Don't say it's broken!" After a pause: "I heard that you have a long vacation, when do you plan to go back?" ”
