Chapter 8: Bitter with Sweet

Zhang Wangsheng covered his head.

With an unacceptable look, he said:

"My cousin asked me to read, and the third master, you also let me read."

"But what's so good about reading and writing, it's not as comfortable as playing with sticks."

The third master frowned and persuaded:

"You are the only seedling of your family, and you will inherit a hundred households."

"It's useless to be a hundred households, you have to be literate and understand the art of war."

The little stunned man covered his forehead and said:

"Okay, okay, I'll start learning to read and write with the third master tomorrow!"

The third master nodded with satisfaction.

After Zhang Wangsheng gnawed the crab legs clean, he found that it was already night.

Hurriedly stood up and said:

"Oh no, it's so late, I have to be scolded by my cousin."

"I've got to run back."

watched the little stunned figure stride away.

Zhang Luo turned his head to the third master and said:

"Third master, I see that there is a barren field to the east of the guard house that no one uses."

"I want to reclaim him, okay?"

The third master looked at Zhang Luo in some surprise.

Despite his height and long legs, he is a reading material after all.

So the third master only planned to let Zhang Luo be the temple for a short period of time.

But he didn't expect Zhang Luo to open his mouth and plan to open up the wasteland.

δΈ‰ηˆ· says:

"Young man, farming is not an easy thing, do you really want to do it?"

"I think I can try."

δΈ‰ηˆ· says:

"According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the newly opened barren land can be exempted from taxes for several years."

"If you really want to move the barren fields over there, I'll help you talk to Baihu."

"As long as you really grow something, Weili will give you three years of free rent."

"If you plant well, you will be exempted for five years."

The third master took a sip of porridge and continued:

"As long as you don't miss the morning class, the grain grown in that field is yours."

"When you leave Zhenhaiwei one day, the guard will also give you some compensation, how about it?"

Zhang Luo nodded in agreement, these three masters have no defects in their work and are fair.

No wonder he has such a high status in the guard.

Xiaozhu helped Zhang Luo collect the dishes and chopsticks.

The third master leaned on crutches and said:

"I've got some slippery cabbage seeds there, you can take some and plant them."

Zhang Luo knew that this was the third master's kindness.

He knew that these seeds were life-threatening for ordinary people.

But Zhang Luo wanted to try planting cauliflower and sweet potatoes in the field.

Then he declined:

"I appreciate the kindness of the third master, but I want to grow some new food."

The third master did not force Zhang Luo to accept it.

He felt that the young man thought a lot, and he tossed it with Zhang Luo.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, I went back to the house to rest.

Zhang Luo lay on the wooden bed in the wing.

I felt soreness in my shoulders and waist.

Thinking that I only worked for half a day today, I was so tired that I couldn't stand it.

I really don't know how those people who catch the sea every day survive.

This small pastoral life makes Zhang Luojue not beautiful at all.

By the next morning.

Zhang Luo felt that his waist was still faintly sore.

With his right hand on his waist, Zhang Luo slowly walked out of bed.

He took out half a cauliflower from his bag and walked into the kitchen.

[The kitchen location has been discovered, the cooking skill is unlocked, do you receive knowledge?] 】

"Great, receive, receive."

[Cooking skills learned, current LV1, experience 0/10]

Some basic cooking knowledge passed into Zhang Luo's mind.

Such as the use of kitchen stoves, the size of the fire and other simple things.

Each of "Ten Thousand Lives" will not change qualitatively until level 10.

The front is all low-level usage.

After LV10, the knowledge received was enough to make Zhang Luo become a little expert.

Zhang Luo picked up an iron knife and carefully cut the cauliflower into pieces.

Zhang Luo was reluctant to eat these lettuce.

But he plans to mass-produce cauliflower and sweet potatoes in Zhenhaiwei.

Therefore, I made it for the third master and Xiaozhu first to try if it suited the taste.

Zhang Luo threw the chopped cauliflower into the pot.

Then put in the white water and millet.

Prepare to make a pot of cauliflower porridge out.

Because the kitchen can make porridge in addition to it.

There's really nothing else you can do.

After a while, the pot began to sound a boiling sound.

The white air with the scent of cauliflower is rising.

Zhang Luo remembered the system prompt sound in his mind.

[Complete the cooking task, increase the cooking LV to 2, and the experience is 0/20]

Zhang Luo put the lid on the pot. Look outside the house as the sun has fully risen.

The rooster crows one after another.

A new day has begun.

Zhang Luo estimated that it was time for morning class.

Leave the kitchen and head to the temple.

Zhang Xiaozhu was already sitting with a small head.

Zhang Luo sat down next to Xiaozhu.

watched the third master open the ancient book again and start lecturing.

"Divination is one of the most important things in our temple."

"Occupy it for seeing, and divination for artifact."

"From the country to the village, when encountering major events, they will divinate in advance."

"Like when we go to sea with hundreds of households, we will also try divination to calculate the bad luck."

"We use the traditional Hokkien cup as an artifact."

"Come and ask Mazu Niangniang for peace."

"Now I'm going to talk about the process of divination."

The third master talks without stopping.

Zhang Luo was fascinated by what he heard.

Zhang Xiaozhu on the side is not very good.

I can't remember a lot of things.

In the middle, he was also taught a lesson by the third master with a cane.

Zhang Xiaozhu was at a loss.

At the end of the morning class, Zhang Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief.

The sound of the system sounded in Zhang Luo's mind

[Complete the Religious Quest, Cult LV is increased to 4, XP is 5/40]

[Complete the historical quest, increase the LV of Ancient History to 2, experience 0/20]

I didn't expect to get experience in two skills at once.

Zhang Luo stood up in a happy mood.

Helping the third master to walk towards the kitchen.

The porridge in the pot has already lost.

The strong smell of cauliflower made Zhang Xiaozhu sniff and say:

"This breath is so special!"

Zhang Luo helped the third master to sit down and said:

"I found some wild vegetables yesterday not far from the guard."

"I used to eat this dish a lot."

Zhang Luo gave the third master a bowl, and then said:

"If you think it tastes good, I'll grow this kind of vegetable in my field."

The third master looked at the cauliflower porridge in front of him and said:

"That's the field you cultivated, you can plant whatever you want."

Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but serve herself a bowl and prepared a full meal.

"Something, it's a little fragrant!"

A familiar childish voice came from outside the kitchen.

The little stunned man who strode in threw away the bamboo pole in his hand.

I sat on a stool and smelled the cauliflower porridge.

"Third master, you taste it first."

Looking at the cauliflower in the bowl, Zhang Wangsheng asked:

"What kind of dish is this?"

"It's a wild vegetable that my senior brother dug up outside the guardhouse."

"Wild vegetables? It's strange, I often hang around the guard, why haven't I seen it. ”

Zhang Luo served another bowl to the little stunned man, but did not respond to him.

Then he directly beckoned everyone to taste it.

Zhang Xiaozhu's stomach was already growling with hunger.

She grabbed a piece of cauliflower and put it in her mouth.

didn't eat for a while, Zhang Wangsheng retched and spit out the cauliflower.

Several people stopped their chopsticks and looked at her.

Zhang Wangsheng's eyes widened, jumped up violently, pointed at Zhang Luo and said:

"You spy, what kind of wild vegetables do you use, bitter and sweet."

"I just said I haven't seen it, it turned out to be poison!"

Zhang Luo pressed Zhang Wangsheng's body down with one hand.

Zhang Xiaozhu hurriedly explained for Zhang Luo:

"It shouldn't be poison, it's this dish."

The third master put down his crutches, blew on the hot porridge and said:

"What kind of poison, I'll try it."

The crunchy cauliflower was quickly chewed in the third master's mouth.

After swallowing the cauliflower, the third master snorted and pestled the cane.

"Bitter and sweet, good!"
