Chapter Twenty-Seven: Returning with a Full Load
Because of the encounter with the Heavenly Demon, the mood is no longer as excited as when I came, and after thinking about it, since I have come from afar, I should do my best to find it.
Zilin turned on his eye and lowered his flight altitude to scan the area he passed through like a satellite remote sensing, and an underground cave caught his attention.
This cave is on a small hillside, hidden in the grass, the entrance of the cave is only the size of a bowl, but the inside is very large, and when you pass by just now, the entrance of the cave emits a white and shining light, just like the light when the spirit stone is found.
He landed at the entrance of the cave and cast a golden spell, and a Longquan light sword appeared in his hand, which was one of the sword weapons he could imagine, because casting spells also requires knowledge reserves, and there must be a specific style of this thing in his mind, and the more specific the change of the five elements weapon, the more realistic it is.
Holding the sword, cut the hole wide, the naked eye can see the scene in the cave, three piles of spirit stones, inlaid at the bottom of the cave, the cave wall is amethyst raw ore, he jumped into the hole to collect the spirit stone a total of thirty-six pieces, Xiaobai identified all ordinary spirit stones, and he cut down the amethyst on the cave wall, which is more than 30 catties.
He clapped his hands and finished his work with satisfaction, and continued to scan with Xiaobai, the plains near the mountains and forests were inhabited by elephants, lions and unknown beasts, and he tried to search on the flat terrain that was not destroyed by large animals.
Finally finding a few corn plants on a gentle slope, he collected eleven corn cobs that were ripe.
The sky was already dark, and in the distance a relatively primitive village came into view, with simple triangular animal skin huts and low thatched houses, scattered to form a residential gathering area.
He landed on the ground and walked towards the village, and when he came near, he saw a young man sharpening a spear with stone, looking a little like an Indian of the earth, and the young man was not very fluent in official English, but it did not hinder communication.
Zilin told him what he was looking for, and the young man led him to a vegetable patch on the outskirts of the village, dug up a dozen potatoes and wiped the soil with leaves, handed them to Zilin, and then went into the woods to find seven tomatoes.
Before leaving, Zilin gave him three pieces of amethyst to thank him, after leaving the village, he didn't plan to look for it like this, the plain is too big, and I don't know the specific location of things, it's too wasteful of time, and there are more than a dozen people looking forward to it, and the few things that have been found are also very rewarding, these things such as tomatoes are not easy to keep for a long time, and it's a pity that they are broken.
So he began to return and deviated slightly from the road he came, because he was chatting with Xiaobai on the way, and learned that there was a place called Lingyu Mountain where chirping birds roosted, and he wanted to try his luck.
Feifei stopped, and arrived at Lingyu Mountain at more than three o'clock in the afternoon, which is a group of mountains covered by lush primeval forests, which is already in the territory of Huaze Kingdom.
He looked down on the mountains from the air, looking for traces of chirpbirds, and soon found three chirps circling in a valley, constantly making "chirp" calls.
He lowered his height, gradually approached the three big birds, and let go of his consciousness to find that there were five people in the valley below the chirp bird, one of them was holding a small chirp bird, and one person fell to the ground covered in blood, and the other three also had several scars on their bodies, it is estimated that these three chirp birds were surrounding these five people and wanted to save their children.
Looking at the appearance of a few people, it is estimated that he can't deal with the huge Jiu Jiu Bird, Zilin cast a golden spell, conjured three swords, and attacked the three big birds respectively, he didn't have the idea of killing these birds, just forced them back.
When the three birds were unwilling to leave, he landed in the valley, and all four of them came forward to thank them, and they could see clearly that it was the monk who drove away the big bird and saved them.
Zilin glanced at the injured person who fell to the ground with his eyes, and found that it was shock caused by excessive blood loss, because this person had more than 20 scars of all sizes, so he put Xiaobai down and whispered to it to find a few spiritual fruits or healing medicine, and he used acupoints to stop the bleeding of this person, because his father is a Chinese medicine doctor, so he knows this knowledge, plus his eyes help check the blood veins, and quickly stop the bleeding.
After more than ten minutes, Xiao Bai appeared with a seven-star fruit in his mouth, this is an ordinary spirit fruit, he pinched the person's mouth open, crushed the spirit fruit and put it in the person's mouth, and when the medicine dissolved, the person slowly opened his eyes, and the injury was visibly improved.
Explaining the situation, the five people bowed and thanked again, and Zilin learned that these five people were five brothers of a family that domesticated the chirp bird, and this distress was caused by the five people who did not evacuate in time after catching the little chirp bird.
These five people live in Yushan County, which is sixty miles away, and the family also domesticates three chirp birds, one of which can be sold to the outside world, and learned that Zilin is also here to find the chirp bird, and he has to give the domesticated chirp bird to Zilin to repay the grace of saving his life.
When the most seriously injured people recovered, a group of six people walked for more than ten hours before rushing back to Yushan County, Zilin took out ten spirit stones to pay the bill, he felt that people were also taking their lives to make a living, so they had to pay, the five brothers insisted on not to, and finally said that they took two spirit stones.
Zilin left with a chirp in a thousand thanks, Yushan County is more than 1,800 miles away from Xiyun City, because the maximum speed of the chirp bird is 160 miles per hour, there was an autumn rain in the afternoon, so he rested for a night to practice, and he rushed back to eat for the day on the morning of September 21.
This time he went out and harvested a very big harvest, which made him extremely happy, he used twelve spirit stones to place a larger spirit gathering array to replace seven medium-grade spirit stones, and put all the fresh vegetables and original spirit fruits brought back this time.
He also begged Xiaobai to teach him a germination formation, bury ten ordinary spirit stones in the backyard vegetable field to set up the formation, and then plant the seeds of corn, potatoes, tomatoes and dried peppers, with the operation of the germination array, he can plant these four crops out of season, and he can harvest mature vegetables in a week, which is higher than the vegetable greenhouse yield.
Xin Qingqing kept watching him finish his work in the vegetable field, and then said enviously: "Childe, this time I am back with a full load, can you take me out again next time." ”
Zilin smiled and said, "It's just a little luckier, if you want to go out and talk to me." ”
Then he went to the stables outside the yard to feed the chirping birds, and asked the young men in the shop to find someone to build an aviary for the chirp birds.
Back in the kitchen and greeting everyone: "Hello everyone! ”
Then I went to the pharmacy on the street and bought a pound of gypsum powder, and selected a few chickens, fish, and pork belly, and when I came back, I began to get busy.
The stonemason in Houshan has already made a qualified grinding disc next to the kitchen, and he asked to make a smaller one that can be operated by one person, and the kitchen has already ground a hundred catties of fine flour.
He soaked the soybeans before going to the street, ground them into soybean milk with a stone mill, filtered out the bean dregs with gauze, and then let the chef cook them until there was no beany smell and no foam, he tried to gradually add gypsum powder, and the time to witness the miracle came, the pot began to appear bean curd, he took out a large pot, poured the bean curd in the pot on the clean linen cloth prepared in advance, tied it and turned it into a burlap bag, squeezed the burlap bag containing the bean curd with two boards, and drained out a part of the water inside, becoming a tofu block, when he opened the burlap, a piece of white tofu appeared in front of everyone with steam, and the fragrance of tofu was overflowing。
The chef and Xin Qingqing, who were standing by and watching, were stunned, is this a trick, the beans have turned into white jade pieces.
Zilin smiled and said: "This is tofu, you each sandwich a piece to taste first, and I will cook the rest, you have seen the steps just now, it is not difficult, so in the future, you will make it, mainly pay attention to the amount of gypsum......" He explained in detail.
Everyone stepped forward to try a small piece while it was hot, and Zilin also tasted a piece, I don't know if the beans here are pure natural and pollution-free, or the reason why there is aura in this world, the tofu is delicious.
Then he began to make spicy chicken, fresh chili peppers are only a dozen catties, and considering that people in this world have not yet begun to eat spicy, so put three red peppers, green onion and ginger are fragrant on high heat, and the chicken is fried in the pot until golden brown, put his homemade noodle sauce and chili peppers, pour a little pure natural mineral water, put it on low heat and simmer for half an hour, enlarge the garlic before serving, and the fragrance is fragrant after serving.
Then he made homemade tofu, sweet and sour fish, braised pork, tomato egg drop soup and a few cold spells.
There is a large round table in the No. 1 room of the largest private room in the world, and it is with a turntable, and people in this world like to eat with a square table, at this time there are ten dishes on the table, the spicy chicken is fragrant, the braised pork is fat but not greasy, the home-style tofu Baicui (green onion) is eye-catching, the sweet and sour fish is mouth-watering, the tomato egg drop soup is particularly charming in red and yellow, and the sesame oil bean curd and shallots are cold and fragrant.
This private room can seat twenty people, Zilin called everyone together in Shiweitian, and then stood up and said: "Everyone can gather in this private room in Xiyun City, which has a population of 1.3 million, what a great fate, I want to thank you for your trust in me, and I will live up to everyone's trust, let us run Shiweitian into the best hotel in Xiyun City, okay, I won't say much, try my craftsmanship while it's hot." ”
When have the people of this world experienced such a scene, it was cold, and the room was silent.
Zilin was a little embarrassed, thinking if I said something wrong.
Ten waiter girls first cried with joy and let out a low sobbing sound, the two young men who ran the hall swallowed their saliva, did not dare to move the chopsticks, Uncle Ren and the four chefs stood up, the chef Master You said: "We have never seen a proprietor like you, I heard Miss Xin say, you are still a respectable Quanzhen (the folk honorific title for cultivators), treat us like a family, and pay the highest salary in the city, let us say what is good, I am willing to work with you wholeheartedly for a lifetime, I will not say anything else, thank you for the owner." ”
Zilin was most afraid that people in this world would talk about their feelings, and they were too sincere for him to resist, so he hurriedly organized everyone to sit down and eat.
Xin Qingqing, her eyes are also red, as long as she hears Zilin say emotional words that are very different from this world, she wants to cry excitedly, this time it is "What a great fate it is for 1.3 million people to gather here", this sentence triggered her crying.
Although a few of them finished this meal in tears, it became a good story in Xi Yuncheng many years later.
Although he only put three red peppers, he still made the people who ate the spicy chicken so spicy that their faces were red, but the spicy feeling was too tempting, and everyone endured the spicy and wiped the bottom of the plate clean.
Uncle Ren has a soft spot for tofu, and only eats tofu and bean curd for the whole meal.
Zilin saw everyone's good reactions, and his heart was completely relaxed.
In the afternoon, all the staff were busy, preparing dishes, grinding tofu, and preparing to officially open for business tomorrow.
