Chapter 33: The Second Awakening of Buddha IX
A few days later, Xue Li's birthday arrived. Xue Li took leave from his master early in the morning, and happily returned home after getting permission. Looking at his joyful home, Xue Li was very happy. According to the customs of the time, after today, Xue Li will be twelve years old, and he can be regarded as an adult, and he can even marry a wife and have children! Thinking of the four 'little sisters' beside him, Xue Li's eyes are even brighter!
I met the mother who was busy and directing the subordinates to make all kinds of preparations. Looking at his mother's busy figure, Xue Li was very moved. Mother whispered to Xue Li: "When you see your father in a while, don't see his bad face and suspect that your father is not good for you." That's because your father had a big quarrel with the great general Li Hun in the palace yesterday, and was reprimanded by the emperor in front of the court, and was almost dismissed. I guess I'm still sulking. Don't pay too much attention to his face!he's not because of you!", Xue Li hurriedly nodded in agreement!
Xue Li came to his father's study, and saw his father sitting behind the desk, silently looking at the book! Seeing Xue Li who came in to salute and say goodbye, his father showed a rare smile on his face. nodded at Xue Li, and then said, "Tomorrow you will be twelve years old, and you will be considered an adult." Although you are an adult, you better wait two years to do some things, because your body and bones have not yet grown!", the father paused and said, "I have already started your expression, and from now on you will be called 'Rengui', Xue Li Xue Rengui." I hope you will be like your grandfather and have a safe and prosperous life!" Listening to his father's words, Xue Li seemed to understand something! The father said again: "Go and see your brothers and sisters, your sisters are estimated to be going out next month, I have received the letter of appointment, and I am ready to do it for the three of them next month!" Looking at his father with worries in his eyes, Xue Li silently agreed!
When I arrived at the eldest sister's room, I saw the eldest sister Xue Meimei carefully arranging flowers in front of the table. As her name suggests, the eldest sister likes flowers and plants very much, and often likes to fiddle with some flowers and trees! Xue Li looked at the focused and serious eldest sister and said jokingly, "Why are you busy here if you don't prepare your red wedding dress?"
The eldest sister looked up and saw that it was Xue Li, and couldn't help but say, "It's not because of you, since you taught me to arrange flowers in a bottle, I have discovered the fun in it." And I also found that this way is so profound that it can make me study it for the rest of my life! If you look at the same flower, put it in different positions, it will have different effects!". The eldest sister looked at Xue Li meaningfully and said, "Just like you, although you went to the Heavenly Master's Mansion just to be a horse boy." But I found that only a few days later, your temperament has changed dramatically! Moreover, since you have met you, your two elder brothers have also been practicing hard, and they will no longer be the same procrastination as they were back then!" The elder sister looked at Xue Li, as if she was looking for something on his face, and then said, "Is it really because my youngest brother has grown up in advance!" After speaking, the eldest sister happily stroked the top of Xue Li's head and said, "Brother, you have worked hard. I hope you are safe and prosperous!Healthy and long-lived!My sister will get married next month, but my sister will always have your place in her heart!". After speaking, the eldest sister quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and returned to her arrogance, just like the plum blossom in the eldest sister's name, the eldest sister's name is Xue Meimei!
Listening to the eldest sister's encouragement and praise, and then affectionate love, Xue Li also felt very moved. The eldest sister took out the small purse she made for her younger brother by herself, and said with some embarrassment: "My sister's craftsmanship is not good, at this time, my sister spent a few days making gadgets for my younger brother, I hope my younger brother will not laugh!" Looking at the things handed to him by his eldest sister, 'Zhou Shengsheng', who had no family protection since he was a child, was even more moved, and he also wanted to do something for his sister!
As soon as Xue Li entered the second sister's room, before he could say hello to the second sister, he was pushed out of the door by the second sister, and the second sister who knew how to hear said behind her: "I am in a hurry to make three sets of dowries, in addition to mine, there are also those two." One of them only knows how to arrange flowers and dress up beautifully, and the other only knows how to practice martial arts and make trouble, and I'm going crazy with my busyness. Second sister, I don't have time to talk to you. I've put all the gifts for you on your bed, it's a new dress! Looking at the door of the second sister's room that was still leaking a glimmer of light behind him, Xue Li smiled and turned to leave!
When he arrived at the door of the third sister's room, Xue Li carefully protected his back buttocks, then knocked lightly on the door, and then slowly pushed the door open and quietly poked his head in. Feeling the sharp pain coming from his ears, Xue Li hurriedly begged for mercy: "Third sister, you can't slam it, if you pull it again, it will fall off."
The third sister slowly let go of her hand, with a pretended vicious look in her eyes, and said a little angrily: "You little villain." Think about how many fights I fought for you back then, third sister. Whenever you were bullied, it wasn't me who stood up for you. Look at you now, your wings are stiff, and I don't think about your third sister if you have good things!"
Xue Li hurriedly quipped: "Third sister, what did you say, this can't be! If I do something wrong, I will change it immediately!"
The third sister looked at Xue Li resentfully, and said angrily: "Let's just say that you gave you the mysterious exercises of those two brothers a few days ago, they have only been practicing for a few days, and I am not their opponent." I asked them, but they didn't give it to me, saying that it was your only secret teaching, and I couldn't learn it. He also said that if I learned, I would grow a beard and have a fleshy face! I thought they would learn how stupid they were, and I was so smart. There's no reason to be inferior to them. No, I'm going to learn too!"
Xue Liqiang couldn't help laughing, carefully took out a book from his arms, and then said flatteringly: "Third sister, this one is better, you can hit ten at a time after learning!"
The third sister took the book suspiciously, and after reading it, she kicked Xue Li out of the door without hesitation. Then he threw an object at Xue Li and said, "You will give you a small thing for your birthday." Xue Li caught it casually and saw that it was a golden dagger made of gold!
Xue Li went to see the two elder brothers again, and looked at the results of their practice, and felt very satisfied. After Xue Li went to the kitchen, drove away the people in the kitchen, looked at the dishes in the kitchen by himself, washed his hands, and began to cook for his family!
At dinner in the evening, everyone in the family looked at Xue Li in surprise, looking at the dishes and rice made by Xue Li. The dish was very simple, only a cold dish mixed with bean sprouts, a hot dish scrambled eggs, a fish and a bowl of black rice! Looking at the black rice, his mother hurriedly comforted Xue Li, saying that next time it might be better, which can make perfect. Xue Li looked at everyone with a smile and said, "These dishes are the dowry I gave to my sisters, whether they are delicious or not, you can taste them!"
The eldest brother Xue Ren carefully picked up a bean sprout with chopsticks, carefully put it in his mouth, chewed it gently, and slowly had a look of surprise on his face. Then he took another bite of the egg, and the look of surprise on his face intensified. Then, he took a bite of the fish, and then began to eat the bowl of black and mushy rice, only to see him gobble up, eat the meal in one go, and then said loudly: "It's so delicious! It's so delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious, my little brother's ability is too great, and even the rice is so good!", and soon after, everyone swept away the meal, and then looked at Xue Li together, their eyes full of questions.
Xue Li thought to himself: "These dishes have gathered the essence of the major Chinese cuisines for thousands of years, how can they be clearly explained in three or five words!" Looking at everyone's suspicious looks, Xue Li said with a little emptiness: "These dishes seem simple, but in fact, there is still a lot of knowledge in them! First of all, this cold dish was learned by my master Lao Cangtou in the bitter cold land of Saibei, using bean sprouts that have just sprouted for a day or two, mixed with wasabi powder and a little vinegar, plus pepper oil. Its taste is hot and spicy, revealing a faint hemp fragrance, which makes people never get tired of eating. You see, when this wasabi is ground into powder, it will have a spicy taste the next day! This is an exclusive secret recipe for those who are outside the plug! And wasabi can also ward off the cold and increase people's appetite!" In fact, this is the red oil bean sprouts in later generations, but in the Tang Dynasty, the chili pepper had not yet been passed over, so Xue Li had to replace it with the 'spicy' taste of wasabi and make a sour and spicy bean sprout. The family members of the Tang Dynasty have never eaten this, so once you eat it, you will feel that the taste is really amazing!
Then Xue Li pointed to the second dish and said: "This dish is a mystery that is not passed down by Taoists, and the dish is called 'Race Crab'." Although you have never eaten crab yet, you can imagine the taste of crab after eating this dish. The taste can be vibrating in your mouth all the time, and the aftertaste is endless! In fact, the method is very simple, just add some minced ginger to the eggs, add vinegar to the pot after frying!"
Xue Ren looked at the fish and said, "This fish is not simple, I feel that any seasoning is useless, but when I eat it, my mouth is full of the fragrance of the fish itself!" After listening to Xue Ren's admiration, Xue Li said: "This dish is simpler, only salt and sauce are used, and steamed over high heat, which fully reflects the original taste of fish. This is a subtle technique that Celestial Master Li Xuanyi brought back from overseas!"
The father looked at Xue Li with some amusement and asked, "What about this bowl of rice! This bowl of rice is full of the smell of fireworks, it is really delicious!"
Xue Li said: "This rice is cooked in a casserole, and less marinated bacon is put in the rice. Bring the rice to the bottom of the pot to create a pot, then immediately pour the sauce over it, and you're done. At this time, the wonderful cooking method of the people from outside the land!"
Looking at the family at the dinner table, Xue Li said: "The meals I made today seem simple, but the content is actually complicated. I am using the simplest method to promote the original taste of food, today I will teach these methods to your sisters, I hope that my sister can think of me, think of our family, think of the taste of our home, big taste to light, great love and sincerity. ”
After listening to what Xue Li said, his three sisters had tears in their eyes and got up to thank Xue Li. The parents were also very excited, looking at Xue Li lovingly, and felt that the little guy had really grown up, and what he said was so philosophical.
Back in the room, Xue Li suddenly felt a flow of breath. I saw a white light and shadow suddenly appear in front of me, and the light and shadow slowly turned into the appearance of a monk. The monk who only listened said: "Thank you for the life insights that the donor said today, so that I can feel more things from this world! My strength has become a little bigger, and I can form an energy body by myself and appear in front of the world." Maybe in the future, when the energy is larger, the energy can be materialized, and you can exist in this world without the help of the donor's body!"
Xue Li said with some tears in his eyes: "It's good, it's good that you have great skills, then you don't need to 'take away', it's good that I am alone!"
The light and shadow said, "I sensed several places where my energy gathered, and they seemed to reject my senses. I may have to sleep for a few days, I hope the donor will do it himself!", after speaking, the light and shadow disappeared, and a faint singing voice came from the air, "Huangquan Well on Huangquan Road, there is a book of heaven in Huangquan Well." On the other side, the sea of reincarnation in the sky, and the coffin of reincarnation in the sea. Yangyang envoy twin flowers. The red flowers are blooming everywhere, and the garden is full of bitter cold spring!"
Xue Li listened to the singing and fell asleep happily, and sure enough, the 'sling' young man was unreliable. "By the way, I forgot to ask my three brothers-in-law what their names were, and I had to hurry up and prepare gifts for my sisters. "Xue Li is still thinking about the problem in his dream!
Father Xue Mou Xue Siyuan, looking at his future son-in-law's post, looked at the name on it, and smiled happily, only to see that the names written on it were Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin and Wei Chigong......
