Chapter 10: How to Become a Cook

"Hey! How to sell your charcoal! A person stood in front of Chunsheng.

"Ten dollars a pack, one hundred dollars and ten packs get a pack." Chunsheng's mind has always been with Xuan Mo, and he responded casually.

"I'll take it all, send me to my lodgings." The man gave Chunsheng a piece of silver.

"Hmm...... Yes? Do you want most of the car? Chunsheng couldn't believe it.

"Yes, absolutely. What's so unusual? The man was unimpressed.

Chun Shengfang looked at the man carefully, middle-aged, mediocre appearance, ordinary figure, full of beard, leading horses and carrying goods, people and horses were dusty, like merchants from afar.

"No, no." Chunsheng laughed secretly, her business was really good, I was afraid that she would be angry with the old Taoist who was a liar opposite.

"Hey! The old way on the other side! You sell books and medicines, but you are good at settling down to ward off evil spirits? The bearded man asked, pointing to the old Taoist priest's sign.

The old Taoist priest suddenly came to his senses, and the wind chill suddenly improved by eight points, "Yes!" Yes! Staying at home to ward off evil spirits and catching demons is the ancestral ability of the poor road! Something else is part-time! ”

Chunsheng felt that this old Taoist priest was too brazen, and he didn't blush at all when he talked nonsense. Her living jade spirit was in front of him, and he couldn't see it, he didn't know which demon she would catch, and how to go to the demon world.

"You two come with me too, what's your name?" The bearded man greeted the old Taoist priest and Xuan Mo.

The old Taoist priest ran to the bearded man and bowed his head and smiled, "The poor Taoist law is called Xuandaotong, and the fifty-third generation of the Demon Hunting Sect is inherited." You see if you paid the deposit first. ”

"Less nonsense, love doesn't come." The bearded man walked away unceremoniously.

"Come on! Come on of course! When you come, you will know the ability of the poor road. Xuan Daotong beckoned, and Xuan Mo packed his things as quickly as he could.

Xuan Daotong carried a broken sword on his back and trotted all the way after the bearded man to promote his abilities and sell various magic weapons. Chunsheng pushed the charcoal cart and Xuanmo and walked behind.

"I'll help you push the cart." Xuan Mo wants to help Chunsheng.

"No need." Because of the patriarch's advice, Chunsheng didn't want to have too much intersection with mortals.

"Your cake is so delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious cake."

Chunsheng didn't say anything, and the patriarch said that he would keep his distance from mortals.

"Where did you buy this pastry?" What is your name? When I have the money, I can buy more for Master. Xuan Mo continued.

When it comes to the scoundrel old way, Chunsheng feels a hundred unhappy in his heart. Xuan Mo seems to be quite kind, she can forgive Xuan Mo, but she will never forgive that shameless old liar.

"It's called Hibiscus Cake! I made it myself, and I can't buy it with money. Don't try to give it to your master. Chunsheng replied unhappily.

"You actually made your own cakes!" Xuan Mo asked in surprise.

"yes......"

Chunsheng said and suddenly remembered that he was a dark and sturdy young man, especially the ten fingers were rough and rough and full of calluses, and at first glance he was doing rough work by burning charcoal, and it really didn't look like he could make delicate pastries.

Chunsheng hurriedly learned from Xuandaotong, "Yes...... Like your master, make a living, of course, do whatever you want to make money. Cooking is an ancestral skill, and selling charcoal is a part-time job. ”

Chunsheng was talking nonsense, but Xuan Mo was convinced, and suddenly realized, "Oh, no wonder, it's much sweeter and more delicious than the offering cakes I used to eat in the temple!" What's your name? We look about the same age. ”

Chunsheng pursed her lips, thinking that according to her age, she was probably the old ancestor of Xuanmo.

"My name is ...... Konatsu"

"The cold city is wrapped in snow and silver, and only Hibiscus is red in summer."

Xuan Mo was moved and made two poems with Xiao Xia's name, which means that the hibiscus cake that Ah Xia gave him is the only warmth in the ice and snow.

Chunsheng pursed his lips and thought: Hmph! It's so sour! She also wants to come to two sour sentences and one sour Xuanmo. So he asked Xuanmo: "What about the first two sentences?" ”

"The first two?" Xuan Mo was caught off guard by Chunsheng's question.

"Yes, there is only half of the poetry, and the limerick has to be at least four words." Chunsheng is a serious and authentic person.

Xuan Mo fell into thought.

Chunsheng cleared his throat,

"A booklet weighs a thousand dollars,

A few strokes of ink for midwinter.

Wrapped in cold city wind and snow silver makeup,

Only Hibiscus is Xia Hong. ”

Xuanmo hid the names of Hibiscus Cake and Ah Xia into the poem; Chunsheng also put the "good deeds" of the master and apprentice who cheated her and Xuan Mo's name into the poem, and neatly satirized Xuan Mo.

Xuan Mo looked apologetic and ashamed, "Xiao Xia, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I never wanted to fool people. ”

Chunsheng snorted lightly, "I know, you don't want to, but your master wants to." ”

"I will persuade Master more in the future...... But your verses are so good......" Xuan Mo exclaimed.

"What kind of poetry is not poetry, the sentences of the charcoal sellers in our village who go out to shout are smoother than this, they are all ancestral skills."

Since Chunsheng was inspired by Xuan Daotong, he has gone further and further on the road of nonsense.

"The people in your village are amazing...... Xuan Mo sighed.

Chunsheng didn't expect his nonsense, but Xuanmo simply believed it.

"Xuanmo, you better leave your rogue master and return to the master." Chunsheng persuaded.

Xuan Mo was stunned, "I know that Master is wrong, and I will find a way to stop him from doing bad things in the future." Master raised me and treated me very well, and I can't leave Him. ”

Chunsheng sighed in his heart how much virtue Xuan Daotong had accumulated in his previous life, so he could get a good apprentice like Xuan Mo.

"You two hurry up!"

In the distance, the bearded man stopped and waited for Chunsheng and Xuanmo. Xuan Daotong was in a hurry to make money, and roared in a hurry, full of energy, without the slightest appearance of typhoid fever.

"I'll help you." Xuanmo helped Chunsheng push the charcoal cart and speed up the pace to catch up.

The four of them came to a guest house compound on the edge of the city, which was a place for merchants from afar to rent and settle down.

There were a lot of horses tied to the courtyard, all kinds of goods were piled up, and there were more than a dozen rooms of all sizes around it, all of which were inhabited by merchants who had come from afar with their beards.

Chunsheng pushed the charcoal into the firewood house, made the silver and prepared to leave.

"Hey, little brother, do you know where you can hire a cook in the city? It's almost the New Year's Day, and it's hard to find. The bearded man asked Chunsheng.

"I don't know." Chunsheng replied casually and continued to walk out.

Xuan Mo grabbed Chunsheng and whispered, "If you have an opportunity to make money, you can't miss it." ”

"What?" Chunsheng didn't react.

"How much money does the cook give a month?" Xuan Mo asked about his beard.

"Ten taels." Bearded man.

Xuan Mo dragged Chunsheng over and introduced him very positively, "His name is Xiao Xia, his ancestor is a chef, and his ancestral cooking skills are very good." ”

"Yes, I'll taste you when you make a dish, and I'll use you if it's delicious." The beard said to Chunsheng.

Chunsheng is blinded.

She never planned to be a cook when she went down the mountain, her ancestral cooking skills were her nonsense, she just learned to cook from Jue Niang to feed herself.

"He made this hibiscus cake, you can taste it." Xuan Mo took out the oil bag from his arms and took out the only remaining hibiscus cake and gave it to the beard.

After tasting the current clapper, "Okay!" That's you! Come with me! "Turn around and go straight to the kitchen.

"Xuanmo! Why do you decide for others without asking! Chunsheng shouted anxiously.

Xuan Mo's smile froze on his face, he didn't expect that this matter was actually his own cleverness.

"Xiao Xia, I was abrupt...... It's cold outside, it's hard to sell charcoal, and your hands are frozen with chilblains...... He gave more money than he sold charcoal, I thought you would want to be a cook......"

Xuan Mo stood in the snow with his head bowed and explained, like a child who had done something wrong......

A cold wind blew, "Ahh Ahh Xuan Mo sneezed twice in a row and sniffed.

Chunsheng looked at his hands, it wasn't really chilblains, it was just a trick on the part of the patriarch.

Xuanmo was pitiful, but he was kind-hearted, and Chunsheng hurriedly explained: "Xuanmo, thank you for your kindness. But I have to go back and wait for my grandfather, and I can't be a cook here. ”

As he was talking, Xuan Daotong, who was bargaining with the beard in the house, was blasted out by the beard.

"To be sky-high, you have to have the ability to reach the sky! In the firewood room next to the kitchen, you masters and apprentices can live temporarily, eat and drink and take care of themselves! Prove that you have the ability to ward off evil spirits before you bargain! The beard yelled unceremoniously.

Xuan Daotong was driven down the corridor, stepped on the thin ice in the yard, and slid awkwardly.

The business did not go well, and he almost fell into the mud, and when he saw Chunsheng looking at him, he scolded angrily: "Get out!" Poor charcoal boy boy! Something that has never been seen in the world! See less of Master Ben's jokes! This master will be rich immediately, eat fragrant and drink spicy, and you will be hungry! ”

"Master! Don't ...... like that," Xuan Mo hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.

Xuan Daotong's scolding made Chunsheng change his mind.

She had no intention of having anything to do with Xuan Mo again. Unexpectedly, Xuan Daotong scolded ugly, which aroused Chunsheng's little temper.

Regardless of whether Xuan Daotong will be rich in the future, she will eat and drink spicy food in front of Xuan Daotong now, and starve him to death!

Chunsheng agreed to be a cook, and the beard was naturally happy, and arranged a room next to the kitchen for Chunsheng.

Everything was arranged, and Chunsheng began to think about playing tricks on the old way.

Approaching the New Year's Festival, the caravan prepared all kinds of ingredients, and the kitchen had all kinds of grains, meat, eggs, and all kinds of vegetables and fruits.

Chunsheng found several large bags of bacteria from the kitchen. I smelled the smell, it was a first-class mountain delicacy.

Jue Niang taught her the practice of mountain mushrooms, there is a dish called Xianshan Yunmeng, the aroma is rich, just take this gluttonous Xuandaotong!

Take the mountain spring water to soak eight kinds of superb mountain treasures, simmer to boil out the essence, boil until the soup is clear and shiny, the taste is fragrant and fragrant, and then mix with fresh pigeon eggs with rootless water, play a thin egg flower in the soup, sprinkle a pinch of verdant tender pine tip and fairy mountain rock salt, simmer on a small fire and serve, the heat is thick, the thin egg flower flips and flies in the soup, through the fragrance of the mountain treasure and the fragrance of the mountain pine, just like the fairy mountain, the realm of cloud dreams. It is called the fairy mountain cloud dream.

A pot of soup is boiled, and the businessmen are amazed.

Xuandao, who lives in the firewood room, smells the fragrance and wants to gnaw on the firewood and peel the wall! poured two large pots of well water in a row, but he was really angry, so he simply called Xuanmo to go to the vicinity to see feng shui, and set a trap to catch demons to prove his strength.

Seeing Xuan Daotong carrying a sword and compass rope on his back, with a thunderous belly, sneezing all the way, snotting, and going out to hunt demons with a pretentious matter, Chunsheng laughed so much that his stomach hurt.

The cook was finally not in vain, he tricked Xuandaotong and got revenge, so he quit tomorrow and went back to the inn to wait for his grandfather, and he didn't stay here for a long time.

Chunsheng made a plan in his heart, but he didn't expect another accident......
