Chapter 1 Growing vegetables and cooking in Wuzhuang Guanli
The immortal immortal mansion is the same longevity as the sky. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On top of the lush green hills, birds and animals, stands a Taoist temple. Standing in front of the door of the Taoist temple, I saw the two curtains on the left and right, as well as the three words 'Wuzhuang Guan' written on the door, and my eyes widened: "It's not true, right?" ”
A few days later, Wuzhuang view the vegetable garden.
Zuo Xiaoyou watered the vegetables in the field, and went to remove the cabbage insects and weeds by the way, thinking back on the experience of the past few days, it was still like a dream.
Obviously waiting for work in Hengdian, but he dozed off, and then opened his eyes and appeared in front of Wuzhuang Guanmen. relied on pretending to have amnesia and finally stayed in Wuzhuangguan, but Wuzhuangguan doesn't raise idlers, fortunately, he has a lot of skills, such as growing vegetables and cooking.
Although this Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the earth immortals, he is very picky, so capable, he actually opened up a vegetable garden in his Taoist temple, and let his disciples grow vegetables and eat them by themselves. It's no wonder that Tang Seng came to Wuzhuang Temple, Qingfeng Mingyue hit two fruits, Tang Seng didn't eat it, the two of them ate it by themselves, this is really gluttonous!
In the past few days, Zhen Yuanzi has not been in Wuzhuang Temple, Zuo Xiaoyou has only seen Qingfeng Mingyue and some Taoist priests, judging from Qingfeng Mingyue's appearance, Zuo Xiaoyou speculates that this should be the classic old version of Journey to the West.
The description of Qingfeng Mingyue in the original Journey to the West is that there are two little Taoist children who don't grow up, but the Qingfeng Mingyue in this world is similar to the two half-grown girls in the old version of Journey to the West, of course, the appearance is more exquisite, wearing a skirt and makeup, it is an idol star at the level of Liu Tianxian. And...... They're really women.
Don't ask Zuo Xiaoyou how to know, have you ever seen a man who has no Adam's apple, speaks softly, and has such bulging chests?
If so, have you ever seen a man squatting and peeing?
SO, Zuo Xiaoyou has been working hard to cook these days, making delicious meals, eating the breeze and bright moon gobbling up, and those who are satisfied are not good, and then Zuo Xiaoyou has become the little brother they cover, and no one can order Zuo Xiaoyou from dozens of other Taoist priests.
But Zuo Xiaoyou knows the truth of doing things well in a good relationship, and these days in addition to taking care of the vegetables in the vegetable garden, he also shoulders the kitchen work of Wuzhuang Guan.
Don't look at the Taoist priests here have lived for a long time, but because they put most of their minds on cultivation, their cooking skills are really not good, no matter what the dish is, they basically cut everything casually, throw it into a big pot to stew, and there is no oil and water, it is unpalatable to death, and Zuo Xiaoyou almost vomited at the first meal he ate. I've never eaten such a bad dish in my life.
After that, Zuo Xiaoyou personally fried a pot of vinegared cabbage, although it was simple, but because Wuzhuang Guan had sufficient aura, the quality of these dishes was much better than that of the mortal world, coupled with the addition of more mature cooking technology, Zuo Xiaoyou was very satisfied with this meal.
And Qingfeng Mingyue saw that the cabbage was so fragrant, and the appearance looked very beautiful, so she couldn't help but taste it, and then she couldn't stop. After the other Taoist priests tasted it, they all cried...... It's so delicious~~~~~~~~~~
Since then, the kitchen and vegetable garden have become the territory of the left and right, take care of the vegetable garden every day, and get some mature vegetables to prepare two meals a day in the kitchen.
I don't know if it's because of the times, the Taoist priests of Wuzhuang Temple only eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and sleep at night because it is dark, so there is no food.
Zuo Xiaoyou hated this, but he couldn't break the rules, so in addition to cooking two meals a day, he would also steam an extra pot of soft cakes and cut them into small pieces.
Since the left small right, the Taoist priests of Wuzhuang Temple have gained a circle, and the status of the left small right is also rising, and often some Taoist priests will send some strange things to the left and right, such as the tiger whip! 100 years of ginseng! Millennial He Shou Wu or something.
Qingfeng saw that Zuo Xiaoyou had a bunch of things, but there was no good storage treasure, so he gave him a mustard seed bag, which had almost a hundred cubic meters of space, and it was in a vacuum state, and the quality of things could be guaranteed in it.
Mingyue was embarrassed not to send it, so she gave him a yellow gourd, which can hold ten tons of water, and of course, it can also hold wine. No matter what kind of liquid is stored in it, this gourd can carry out the work of purification and spiritual possession. To put it simply, it only takes one day to turn ordinary spring water into spring water with aura, and a sip of it will refresh your whole body and make you feel full of energy all day long.
In addition, this gourd can be layered, that is, it can be divided into three storage spaces, which can store three liquids. The three parties can be closed or not interfere with each other. Zuo Xiaoyou felt that this was very good, and after happily accepting it, he went to a mountain spring in Wanshou Mountain to fill a third of the space of the mountain spring, and then with the help of Qingfeng Mingyue, he went to the mountain to get a bunch of fruits to make fruit wine. I went and got a mess of parts and made a still, which was specially used to make grain wine.
It takes time to make wine, and the Taoist priests of Wuzhuang Temple can't taste it in a short time, but after listening to Zuo Xiaoyou say that after brewing, they will definitely give everyone a taste, and they don't ask about it.
Although Wuzhuang Temple is a Taoist temple, because it is located in a remote area, no one comes to worship incense, so the daily work of the Taoist priests of Wuzhuang Temple is basically to meditate and chant scriptures, or practice martial arts, which is similar to the place where Sun Wukong learned art.
Probably because of this, the Taoist priests of Wuzhuang Temple can only grow their own vegetables and be self-sufficient!
Fortunately, whether it is grain or vegetables, Wuzhuangguan has a lot of spiritual energy, it grows very quickly, and the output is sufficient, so you don't have to worry about starvation. Besides, they have already reached the realm of Bigu, and they can't starve to death even if they don't eat. But food stores more energy than Fenglu, even if it is for cultivation, it is better to eat more.
Zuo Xiaoyou's cooking skills are only average in real life, that is, the level of home-cooked food, but here it is comparable to the chef of the restaurant, and the cooked meals have more energy, so that the Taoist priests flock to it, which will be all kinds of gifts to please, I only hope that Zuo Xiaoyou can cook more delicious and energetic food in the future. Their cultivation and appetite all depended on him.
After a period of such a time, Zuo Xiaoyou made an old mistake: "I don't have a book to read, I'm so bored." ”
On this day, I made an afternoon meal, and Zuo Xiaoyou deliberately opened a small stove for Qingfeng Mingyue.
"Huh?" Qingfeng Mingyue was startled when she saw the small stove opened on the left and right: "Xiaoyou, you want to kill us!?" ”
No wonder they think so, because this is clearly a dish of stir-fried pork with green vegetables.
Ordinary Taoist priests are actually not taboo with meat, but the Taoist priests of Wuzhuang Temple are all cultivators, vegetables and fruits and other plants contain aura, and there are benefits to eating, eggs, bird eggs or something can be eaten, but you can't eat meat. Because the meat is all animals, and the animals are muddy and have a very low IQ, eating it will affect their spirituality.
Of course, eating the flesh of people, monsters, and gods will not affect spirituality, but it will be contaminated with cause and effect, and it cannot be eaten. At this time, Zuo Xiaoyou made them stir-fried meat with green vegetables, isn't this harmful to them!
"Two sisters, don't worry." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled: "How could I harm the two sisters, you look at it as meat, and eat it as meat, but in fact it is not meat." ”
"Not meat?" Qingfeng Mingyue looked at the slices of meat that were exactly the same as the meat, and the taste that emanated was also the same as the meat, and frowned: "Nonsense, this is clearly meat!" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head and said, "Two sisters, this is the vegetarian meat that the younger brother tried his best to make soybeans." Although it looks like meat, it is not a bit meaty, and it is a vegetarian dish. ”
"Really?" Qingfeng Mingyue was stunned, and she couldn't imagine that the meat was still vegetarian.
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded and said, "I don't believe the two sisters to taste it, if the younger brother has half a lie, he will tell me to thunder and thunder in the sky, and I will not die well." ”
"Why do you swear such a heavy oath?" Qingfeng Mingyue was much more relieved, but at the same time a little blamed: "We didn't say we wouldn't eat." ”
"Hehe, two sisters, try it." Zuo Xiaoyou handed over the chopsticks, and the rice was also delivered.
Qingfeng Mingyue held the dishes and chopsticks, looked at each other, pursed her lips, and Mingyue said, "I'll taste it first." ”
I put a piece of vegetarian meat into my mouth and chewed it vigorously...... Well, it's the smell of meat. Mingyue doesn't know how many years she hasn't eaten meat, it seems to be hundreds of years older! At that time, because of eating meat, her spells and Taoism had regressed, and she could still remember the taste of meat clearly, but although the meat in her mouth at this time was the taste of meat, the taste was much better than the taste that was roasted indiscriminately back then, and it was ......
"Huh? It really doesn't affect spirituality. Mingyue swallowed the meat into her stomach, but found that her spirituality had not been affected in the slightest, which proved that this piece of meat was indeed not real meat, but a vegetarian meat mixed with soybeans.
"Really? I'll taste it. Seeing that Mingyue was fine, Qingfeng also tasted a bite of meat slices with confidence, this taste, not only the taste was as delicious as ever, but it really did not affect spiritual cultivation at all.
Qingfeng was overjoyed: "It turns out that it is really vegetarian meat!" ”
"How?" Zuo Xiaoyou looked unhappy: "It turns out that Sister Qingfeng doesn't believe me at all?" ”
"Hey, what's the matter." Qingfeng laughed dryly, savoring the taste of meat in his mouth, and couldn't help but clip a chopstick.
"Hmm...... It's delicious, the meat is so delicious. ”
"Don't eat so fast, leave me some!"
Qingfeng Mingyue's two Taoist sisters gobbled up food, and a plate of fried meat with green vegetables was quickly eaten, and even the plate was licked clean by the two, and the light can shine on people, saving the time of brushing the plate left and right......
"Anything else?" The two of them haven't eaten enough at all, they haven't eaten meat for many years, and they can finally eat meat, and they don't have to worry about the regression of spirituality and cultivation, Qingfeng Mingyue's eyes are red: It's so delicious! We're going to eat it again!
Zuo Xiaoyou coughed twice and said, "No, this vegetarian meat is not easy to make, and it is the first time I have made it, no, I will try it for the two sisters." Since the two sisters like it, I will make it for you every day in the future. ”
"Great!" Qingfeng Mingyue was very satisfied: "In the future, we must make it for us every day!" ”
"Uh-huh." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded and said, "But the two sisters must not say it." Vegetarian meat is not easy to make, there is not much that can be made every day, and if it is known by others, the younger brother will be in trouble. ”
"Don't worry, we won't say it." Qingfeng Mingyue nodded again and again: "This is our secret, no one can say it." ”
With a common secret, the relationship between the three of them is much closer than before, and at this time, Zuo Xiaoyou finally tried to see the dagger: "Two sisters, I am cooking every day in addition to planting vegetables, and I am usually very bored, do we have any good books in Wuzhuangguan?" I can pass the time when I'm fine! ”
"A nice book?" Qingfeng Mingyue shook her head when she heard this, and Qingfeng said: "There are many books, but they are all Taoist treasures, obscure, and not good at all." ”
"Uh-huh." Mingyue nodded and agreed: "What I'm most afraid of is that the master will punish me for copying and hiding, I don't know many of the words on it, and I can't make mistakes, otherwise I will be beaten by the master with a ring ruler." ”
"Hmm......" Zuo Xiaoyou scratched her head and said, "Can the two sisters take two simple copies for me first?" If it's really not good-looking, forget it, if I can still watch it, I can pass the time later. ”
"No problem." This request was too simple, the two agreed on the spot, and immediately went to the library to get two green leather line books: "Xiaoyou, you take a look first, you can read it if you can, you can't read it...... Later, I'll go down the mountain to help you buy some miscellaneous books on earth. ”
"Thank you, two sisters." Left and right clenched his fists and bent over, very grateful.
"What is there to thank for this little thing." Qingfeng Mingyue waved her hand again and again, and Qingfeng said: "We still expect you to eat meat every day in the future!" Do we want to thank you too? ”
"Haha, so, we're even." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled, put the book in his arms, and said, "Then I'll go and prepare the ingredients for vegetarian meat first, and the two sisters will be busy if they have something!" ”
"We don't have anything to do, why don't you teach us how to make vegetarian meat?" Qingfeng said.
"Great idea!" Mingyue's eyes lit up and said, "If Xiaoyou doesn't have time in the future, we can also cook and eat by ourselves." ”
"Okay!" Zuo Xiaoyou nodded, it is not too difficult for this vegetarian meat to sit up, with the intelligence of the two women, it should be possible to watch it once. But if you want to make it as delicious as yourself, it will take some time.
Zuo Xiaoyou is not afraid that the apprentices of the church will starve to death to the master, he is not a cook in the first place, so it would be good if he could cook less! Now that he has two Taoist books, his ambitions are beginning to come to the fore.
This is the world of Journey to the West, the sky is full of immortals and Buddhas, if you don't have an immortal technique, wouldn't it be in vain?
At night, the kitchen was still brightly lit, and after teaching them how to make plain meat, they were finally sent away.
There is a resting hut behind the kitchen, left and right with an oil lamp to the hut, the oil lamp is placed on the table, pour yourself a glass of water to moisten your throat, sigh, stretch, and then take out the two books in your arms, the titles of which are "Tao Te Ching" and "Nanhua Jing" respectively.
