Chapter 5 The Land of the Wealthy

Worried about the fact that there was a person at home who was about to be forgotten, Ling Yunhao walked to the nearby vegetable market after work, and promised Qingfengzi to cook for him, so he had to buy a few good dishes!

I don't know if Taoist priests are taboo with wine and meat, it's always right to be careful, so Ling Yunhao only bought some vegetarian dishes and a few potatoes, ready to make sour and hot shredded potatoes, and a few pieces of tofu to make mapo tofu, all of which are home-cooked dishes, I hope Master will like it!

After buying the groceries, Ling Yunhao didn't stay long, Ling Yunhao immediately went home, it was already half past nine when he got home, he opened the door and saw that the house was empty, Qing Fengzi was not in the room, could he just leave? Or was this a dream at all? No! Ling Yunhao clearly remembered what happened to him.

Put the dishes in the kitchen, Ling Yunhao is ready to cook dinner, since Qingfengzi is not here, let's eat it alone.

First cut the tofu into small pieces, wash the green onion and ginger and chop it, turn on the fire, the moment the flame rises, it seems that the spiritual power in the body also beats a little, boil water in the pot and add a small spoon of salt, put the tofu into the blanching water, put the salt in order to make the tofu taste more tender, take out the tofu for later use, and then put the salad oil in the pot, when the oil is burned to fifty percent hot, put in the garlic and bean paste and put a few peppercorns, take out the peppercorns after stir-frying, and then add water to the pot, add salt, chicken powder, dark soy sauce, stir-fry evenly over high heat, start to cook the tofu, try not to stir-fry.

Originally, mapo tofu was to put some minced meat, but I was afraid that Qingfengzi would not be able to eat it, so I had to omit it. After about three minutes of stir-frying, Ling Yunhao began to prepare for the final process, put in a little water starch to thicken, then add some pepper oil, put it on a plate and remove it from the pot, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and a mapo tofu is completed.

"Well, it's so fragrant!" Ling Yunhao was about to make the second dish of sour and hot shredded potatoes, but at this time, he found that there was an extra person in the family, it was Qingfengzi who originally thought he was gone, Ling Yunhao hurriedly put down the things in his hand and walked over.

"Master, where have you been? I thought you were gone?"

Hearing Ling Yunhao ask, Qingfeng Ziqi didn't fight anywhere.

"You kid is embarrassed to say that you hurriedly threw me down in the morning, and you didn't think about how to solve my old man's lunch, but pity me for the money to buy a few buns......"

Eh, Ling Yunhao never imagined that Qing Fengzi would be so poor, looking at this green robe, although it is a little old, it will not be a few dollars on him!

"Well, Master! I remember that I closed the door! How did you get in?" Ling Yunhao knew that he was wrong, and quickly changed the topic.

"Don't worry about this, hurry up and stir-fry, can a door still stump me?What are you kidding! Boy, what are you stir-frying today?" Qing Fengzi touched his stomach and walked to the kitchen, he was hungry all afternoon, and now he wants to eat.

"What? Just two vegetarian dishes? No minced meat at all?" When I came to the kitchen, I saw the mapo tofu that had been fried and the shredded potatoes that were about to be fried.

Ling Yunhao was sweating profusely when he heard this, and hurriedly followed, saying, "Well, Master, I saw that you were a monk, and I thought you didn't eat meat! ”

"What bullshit monks, I'm a Taoist, a cultivator, and not a monk, we don't pay attention to these, even if it's a wife and children, it's no problem, okay, since you asked, then I'll simply tell you now, for cultivators, the most important thing is the Dharma and wealth, don't talk about the others, first tell you about this wealth, "wealth", there are two meanings: external wealth refers to all the expenses needed to cultivate immortals, and internal wealth refers to the capital that cultivators themselves have. The funds needed for cultivating immortals generally have several functions: first, because the cultivators officially enter the house to work, they can no longer dissipate too much energy in social affairs, and they must first arrange their families well, so that their family members can rely on their own food and clothing, so that they can feel at ease in their own cultivation career; second, when they are formally cultivating, they cannot engage in profit-seeking things, and all their living expenses must be prepared in advance, so as not to linger on food and daily life; third, they must also prepare a certain amount of resources for traveling to the Tao, because after living in one place for a long time, they will be bored, so they need to change the environment to broaden their minds, and they can visit Taoist friends to verify their gains; and fourthIt is still necessary to prepare the living expenses of three or five Taoist friends, so that they can concentrate on their efforts, and other affairs can be handled by Taoist friends. ”

"Ah, so troublesome, but I still have parents to support, and I still have a job, didn't you say you want me to work hard this morning?" Ling Yunhao was a little confused.

Qing Fengzi said so much, he wasn't really angry, so he said with some seriousness: " Because you have cultivated late, you have become accustomed to the life in the world, if you change rashly, it will only make your Dao heart unstable, and you are just starting now, it is useless to blindly retreat and cultivate, you are the dual spiritual root of ice and fire, suitable for cultivating ice and fire spells, and usually have more contact with water and fire, and your current occupation is just right, you have to go to work every day and often deal with water and fire, so now you, when you are working at work, you can also practice a little, as long as you don't enter the state of concentration. ”

Qing Fengzi looked at Ling Yunhao, who was already stunned, and coughed dryly and said: "You stir-fry the vegetables first, forget it if you don't have meat, you can barely do it as a teacher, and I'll tell you later, other things in the land of the Fa Cai Couple, go quickly!"

Remembering what Qing Fengzi said, Ling Yunhao hurriedly cut the potatoes, the potato cutting method is simple, but it is still difficult to really thread the needle, at least now Ling Yunhao can't do it, first blanch the shredded potatoes and control the water for later use, then boil the pot and put oil, stir-fry the dried chili pepper and garlic, and then put the shredded potatoes in and stir-fry on high heat, Ling Yunhao remembered Qingfengzi's words, when stir-frying, he felt the temperature of the fire, and tried to output a little aura, and suddenly, the flame was like a child getting a beloved toy, jubilant jumping, it can still be like this?

So, Ling Yunhao simply turned down the fire, and then used the little aura he had to control the size of the flame and start stir-frying. Stir-fry the shredded potatoes until they are nine ripe, add white vinegar and light soy sauce to taste, then add a little salt, stir-fry a few times out of the pot, and finally sprinkle with chopped green onions.

Originally, Qing Fengzi was sitting on the sofa and closed his eyes to recuperate, but at the moment when Ling Yunhao used his spiritual power to control the flames, he opened his eyes violently, "Good boy, it's all right, not bad." Seeing that Ling Yunhao controlled the flames when they were big and small, Qing Fengzi nodded with satisfaction, this apprentice's understanding is not bad.

Finally, the hot and sour shredded potatoes were completed, Ling Yunhao was tired and sweaty, and the first time he controlled the flame to stir-fry, it was really thrilling, and he almost fried the vegetables several times, fortunately, Ling Yunhao's cooking skills were okay, and it was finally completed without danger.

Came to the living room with the dishes, and before the meal was served, Qing Fengzi moved his chopsticks, "Average, really average, no meat, it's not delicious at all, but the method you used your own spiritual power to urge the flame just now is good, and it can make you more intimate with the flame in the early stage, and better practice fire spells." ”

Qing Fengzi flattened his mouth, as a loyal carnivore, he was so hungry that his stomach growled, but when he saw that there was no meat at all, his appetite suddenly decreased greatly, and he ate it in a few bites, while Ling Yunhao was still chewing and eating slowly.

"Since ancient times, the Dharma and wealth are the four necessary elements in the red dust or cultivators, if there is a deficiency, there is no way to start working hard, now to tell you the law in the Dharma wealth and land, the law can be understood as the heart spell, the heart law is based on the spell is supplemented, and the law also includes the magic weapon, the elixir these are also algorithms. ”

"Couples, a person with two mouths, no matter how much, one point is clear, you can become a couple if you can talk, whether it is cultivation or life, you need to have a teacher or like-minded people, you need to be able to discuss things, promote and encourage each other is very important, otherwise, if you are not a root person, you will not be diligent in practice, you may be half-convinced, so that you may give up in the face of external interference, so that you can give up, and you can't stick to the end, because the like-minded people are scattered, and you don't get the teacher or like-minded people to encourage each other, and you can rarely grasp yourself and stick to it alone。 Therefore, it is very important to have a teacher, a teacher who understands the guidance and communication with some like-minded people, and of course, also the inner couple, which is both yin and yang, so the cultivator is not opposed to getting married and having children. ”

"Earth, the ground generally refers to the environment, a suitable environment, if there is a quiet place at home that is not disturbed, it is very important, at least no one disturbs you in your cultivation, of course, if you are in a very good place with a very good aura, it is better, this is a small environment, if the general environment also allows, it is nothing more than to create a fairyland on earth, if you go to cultivate in this great environment, then it seems like a fish in water, the other meaning is the mainland, that is, the cultivation of your own heart, spiritual cultivation is also an indispensable factor。 ”

"To sum up, with the law, you don't need a certain amount of money to do it, with the law and money, there must be like-minded people, with these three, but also an environment, will create a great prospect, in turn, only a good environment, will find like-minded people, with their own wealth to find a way, therefore, there is no absolute distinction between the law and wealth, everything is relative, everything is very important, can not be less. ”

After hearing so much, Ling Yunhao realized that cultivation was not as simple as finding a cave to hide and retreat and cultivate, but still to get in touch with the world, no wonder Master wanted me to continue working.

"Oh, Master, I know, or else! I'll leave some money for you, I'll make breakfast and dinner, and you can solve it yourself at noon, then I'll go to practice now." Ling Yunhao took out three banknotes from his wallet, weighed them for a while, added another one, and after handing them to Qing Fengzi, he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and went back to the room to practice, and realized the benefits of cultivation, and now Ling Yunhao wants to cultivate all the time.
