Chapter 160: The "Cook" Who Can't Cook

Jin Cheng walked into the temple gate first.

It seems that this small temple is very dilapidated, the wings on both sides have collapsed, and the roof of the main hall in the middle leaks a big hole, but the main hall of the village temple in the village is usually very large, at least the whole village should be able to stand down and burn incense, isn't it?

The village where the land temple is located has about 100 households, so the hall can accommodate at least 100 people to worship at the same time, and in the half of the house with the roof intact, two beggars lie in the corner on one side, and on the other side, three traveling merchants light a fire, where they are burning wood and waiting for the dawn to hurry. And in the main hall, the empty space is enough for the clouds to rest...... It was too shocking to rush in the dark, and the sky was about to dawn, and the clouds felt that it was better not to let the morning risers see them. Go into the temple to take a rest, and when there are more people on the road, he will go out on the road again, and it is estimated that no one will pay attention.

When Yun Duo entered the temple, it seemed that his cultivation was only in the Qi refining period, and Jin Cheng was still a Jindan monk with a bull fork...... Well, for the time being, he didn't dare to let the spirit of this stove awaken and show a wise appearance.

With a flick of his finger, a flame burrowed into the stove, illuminating the clouds in front of him, filling the surroundings with a warm atmosphere.

Yun Duo took out the small pot from the storage bag - he also did not dare to awaken the spirit of the vegetable pot, and only used this stove as an ordinary cooking utensil.

Put a small pinch of spiritual rice, and add some vegetables and spices stored in the storage bag...... Somehow, Yun Duo suddenly remembered the Russian fable of axe soup, and he thought it was a little funny - am I making zuò axe soup by doing this?

The aroma of rice porridge came out, and the clouds flipped their hands. A piece of jade slip appeared in his hand - this is a secular popular novel that Yun Duo bought in Fenglingdu in his busy time. Yun Duo has bought a lot of similar secular novels, because neither he nor Jin Xiang Zhenjun has much contact with secular society, and now he is on the way to visit his sister, and he needs to read popular novels to feel the sophistication of people in this world.

A powerful Divine Monitor in a village not far away. The clouds pass through the guò divine consciousness and observe the worldly human feelings......

It is said that the novels that Yun Duo bought are all famous books that rank at the top of the best-selling list, and Yun Duo originally bought thousands of books in the order of the best-selling list from one to two hundred, not only the books on the best-selling list this year were swept by him, but in the past ten years, he bought all the books on the best-selling list. Now in his hands, it is the "masterpiece" that ranks third today.

The pot is boiling with spiritual rice. When the fragrance of spiritual rice is fully emanated, this smell is an irresistible temptation for ordinary people. Even the two beggars who were sleeping soundly got up from their sleep, and then the two beggars shrank in the corner, staring at the clouds - they recognized the clouds as immortals, and did not dare to come and disturb them, but the smell of the immortal pot was really fascinating.

In the other corner, the three travelers who were also gathered in front of the fire couldn't help it. One of the travelers cautiously walked towards the clouds, and asked tentatively as he went, "This ...... Immortal Chief. Are you planning to cross the river at dawn? Hehe, there are still more than 20 miles from the ferry, do you need a guide for the immortal?"

Yun Duo's eyelids didn't lift from the book, he interrupted the other party's greetings, and said without raising his head: "If you want to drink porridge, take a bowl yourself." Use your own bowl. Oh, serve two bowls to the two little beggars, and leave me when the porridge is ready, and I am impatient to be disturbed. ”

The traveler was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled. Happily walked to his companions...... After a while, he took a few bowls from his companions, and after making rice porridge for himself and his companions, he also served two bowls to the little beggars, and then said to the two little beggars in a tolerant manner, "These two bowls are left for you." ”

The sky gradually brightened, but at this time, the pot on the stove finally couldn't hold back, and the spirit of this dinner pot came from the secret realm of the Vortex Heaven, with strong local values. In its opinion, letting a few pairs of fleshly mortal palms touch itself is simply polluting its own ...... Immortal body. So, the vegetable pot jumped into the air, completely ignoring the suppression of the clouds, flew out of the temple gate with a whoo, dumped the remaining rice porridge in the pot in the corner outside the house, and then quickly flew to the big river twenty miles away.

When it washed itself in the big river and flew back to the broken temple, a few mortals in the broken temple already looked up to the clouds - these mortals still thought that the behavior of the vegetable pot flying out was some kind of immortal method, so they sighed in their hearts: Sure enough, the immortal method is clever, look, no one needs to flick their fingers to brush the pot, and the pot will fly out to clean itself.

Of course, if the pot does not open, mortals cannot imagine that the pot will also have wisdom.

The rice porridge is re-cooked, and what to cook and what ingredients to add this time is completely up to the vegetable pot. The rice porridge that was re-cooked already belonged to the spiritual meal, and it was an extremely clever spiritual meal, and the average spiritual meal chef did not have the skill of the vegetable pot, and now the vegetable porridge in the pot has added a lot of spiritual grass powder, in addition to the irrepressible fragrance, it can also supplement the monk's aura like an elixir.

However, the fragrance of the rice porridge did not spread far, Jin Cheng carefully controlled the aroma in the temple, and when the rice porridge was cooked, the whole temple was full of richness. The almost viscous aura, and the smell of food that can't resist the temptation.

After eating, Yun Duo also released the little poodle, first made a bowl of rice porridge for himself, and the rest of the rice porridge belonged to the little poodle. As for Jin Cheng, her tastes are different from those of humans.

This pot of porridge is better than the previous pot, and several people in the broken temple kept swallowing their saliva, but they didn't dare to step forward anymore...... After the vegetable pot lost its temper, it exuded its coercion, so a few people in the broken temple could only watch the clouds eat and wipe clean.

The powerful divine sense of the cloud sensed that the first person in the village to get up in the morning went out, and he even sensed that a city not far away was beating the drum, and the slow knocking slowly entered his ears, and with the creaking of the door latch, the rattle of the door, the most diligent little daughter-in-law in the village stood in the courtyard yawning, and then the little daughter-in-law was in a daze, shaking her head and walking towards the chicken coop......

Dogs barked, chickens crooked, and pigs snorted in the backyard of the farmhouse. The diligent mother-in-law got up and shouted loudly for the noise of her daughter-in-law. The clouds are all touched. In the hustle and bustle of the early morning, the cloud stood up, quickly put away the little poodle, and the figure flashed again, and a sword light appeared in the sky, and the cloud drove his own flying machine. Fast flight to the direction of South Korea.

Of course, Yunduo can also take the teleportation array to Upper Valley City, but taking the teleportation array will inevitably reveal his identity, and Yunduo doesn't want people to know his whereabouts, so he can only fly the aircraft, avoid the bustling area, and fly alone to the destination - the place where his sisters settled.

In his early years, Jin Cheng traveled to various countries and studied a lot of this Yuesen continent, although hundreds of years have passed, and the countries on the mainland have changed. However, the topography of the mountains and rivers on the mainland has not changed significantly in hundreds of years. Seeing the mountain beam bent and coiled like a centipede in the distance, Jin Cheng blurted out: "Weishan has arrived, and after Weishan, it will be Korea." ”

The clouds immediately lowered their flight altitude and slowly moved closer to Weishan.

When you get closer, you can clearly see the light flashing in the sky above a castle of considerable scale on Weishan, which is the flash of dancing swords.

Jin Cheng explained on the side: "South Korea is a secular country established by a clan surnamed Han. There was a Yuan Infant in the Han family, and since then, his family has produced a number of Jindan Zhuji. It gradually developed into a family of cultivating immortals, and the laymen of its family who could not cultivate immortals established such a secular kingdom with the support of the family, which safely survived two beast tides, and now has been established for more than 800 years.

After the establishment of Korea, Weishan became their border. The Korean clan assigned Weishan to a secular martial arts sect as a fief, and this secular martial arts sect built its own mountain gate on Weishan, and then built a castle and a guard post to guard the country for Korea.

It is said that the Weishan faction also produced several Xiuzhen disciples. However, after so many years, I can't remember who the Weishan sect's disciple's surname is, and I am in that immortal sect. ”

The brilliance that flashed in the Weishan sect just now was, of course, the sword dance that the disciples of the sect exercised in the morning. However, the Weishan faction was very interesting, and when they saw the immortal disciples flying above, they did not make any interception moves. The undisturbed cloud-controlled aircraft flew over Weishan and then landed at the southern foot of Weishan. From beginning to end, the Weishan faction did not send anyone out to check or greet.

That's good.

The clouds were somewhat contaminated with the monk's preference for quietness and dislike of liveliness, and no one came to entangle, so he just found a place, changed into clothes, and then took out his Qianli Transmission Jade Jane, and after shaking it slightly, the Jade Jane's head immediately reacted - Biting, who was in Upper Valley City, already knew that the clouds were coming.

Now that he has entered South Korea, Yun Duo is not in a hurry to go to Shanggu City, he led Jincheng around and around, found the official road of South Korea, and then with a mortal face, he walked all the way to prepare to go to Fengcheng first.

The countries of the Yuesen Continent are one country with one family and one surname. This state system is similar to the early Spring and Autumn Period, and the administrative system of the state is also very similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is based on the city as the administrative center, and then through the guò city to control the countryside, and then to achieve the goal of universal governance.

In a sense, this state system is also a collection of large farms, and each city is equivalent to a farm estate, inhabited by tenants and slaves. The lord of the country (Zhuang owner) controls the manor, and then the tenants and slaves, and the output of the entire country.

South Korea has a total of nine cities, and there are three cities near the southern foot of Weishan, namely Fengcheng, Raocheng and Daning - you can guess when you hear the names of these three cities: the south of Weishan is a fertile impact plain, which is the most suitable for sowing farmers, and the rice yield of this land is also very rich, hence the name "Abundance".

As for the origin of the name of Daning City, it means that the city was built on the border, and the owner of the city very much wanted the border to be peaceful.

Daning City is built on the halfway waist of Weishan Mountain, there is an official road leading to Fengcheng from Daning City, and Rao City is almost parallel to Fengcheng, crossing the line of Fengrao City, which is the largest river in South Korea, Luxi. This large river is also the main source of water for irrigating the fertile plains, and can be described as the agricultural artery of South Korea.

The clouds are now going to Fengcheng.

The three cities of Pung, Huancheng and Daneong are arranged in a triangular shape, and the grain production of the Rich Plains accounts for 90 percent of the grain production of the whole of Korea. Except for these three cities, the rest of the cities in Korea are small cities with small populations and poor properties, or simply semi-military fortified castles. As for the destination of the clouds, Guseong is almost a city of Shuzhen - and the only city of Shuzhen in Korea.

Fengcheng is very densely populated. Yunduo and Jincheng entered from the north gate of Fengcheng. The carriages and horses entering the city from the north all have city gate tokens, these people belong to the privileged class, and they do not stop along the way, but they simply light up the tokens at the city gate and go all the way unimpeded.

The width of the north gate can be parallel to six carriages, and the opening of the city gate is about 30 meters long. It is necessary to walk for a quarter of an hour along the parallel lane of eight horses to enter the inner city, which is the place where the special class lives and gathers, and of course, the core of the city is naturally in this special class area.

In the same way, the area where this particular class is located is hierarchical-the western part of the inner city belongs to the friars' quarters, which are the privileged classes of the privileged classes. The southern part of the inner city was inhabited by the secular elite, the northern district was inhabited by the secular wealthy, and the eastern district was inhabited by the secular officials of the city, also known as the noble quarters.

As soon as I entered the outer city, the old man pushing the cart and the farmer carrying the burden. The farmer's sister-in-law who is in a hurry with her children, the restaurant girl who shouts and sells goods on the street, and the little merchant who is smiling and happy...... So many people, so many forms, so many sounds, so many shops, and the bustling cries and frolicks. Those husbands, women. Old woman, urchin. Calligraphy and painting shops, cloak shops, pill pharmacies, coopers, painters, furniture shops. Food stalls, restaurants, waves, those landscapes, these people. Everyone is a novel, a poem, a distant but intimate story.

This breath of life is so intimate, that the clouds can't help but stand in the streets.

That's it, that's it, it's full of the smell of fireworks in the world.

Earlier, the clouds were among them, and they were among the mortals—this was the breath he knew, the life of the city he knew.

Jin Cheng didn't urge the clouds, and waited until the twilight fell on the clouds before he sleepwalked his feet, he staggered towards the largest inn in the outer city, and when he walked to the door of the inn, Jin Cheng suddenly stopped the clouds, blocked them with his body, and then reminded in a whisper: "Childe, let's change the inn, right?"

The clouds stopped, at this time, the people of Fengcheng had already circled along the inner city wall, lit their own lanterns, countless vendors did not know where to come from, began to place their own goods along the inner city wall, the fragrance of all kinds of food came to the nose, under the dim light of various lanterns, the smile of the stall owner looked so kind.

Jin Cheng took another step forward and explained in a low voice: "Childe, let's ...... After all, there is a difference between the mundane, the aura of the mortal inn is dirty, and it is impossible to meditate and breathe at all, in case of any cause and effect, when advancing to the next level, there are some demons in the heart, then the gains outweigh the losses......"

The cloud tilted his head in thought.

There are so many possibilities mentioned by Jin Cheng, only one last point touched him - although Yun Duo is not afraid of the attack of the demons, he is also afraid of being contaminated with the worldly fate and cause and effect, so he rolled his eyes, and finally listened to Jin Cheng's words, and followed Jin Cheng into the inner city and entered the monk activity area in the west of the inner city.

South Korea is a small country with only nine cities in total. There are three mountains erected along its borders, and the whole of Korea is surrounded by these three mountains. The clouds enter from this side of Weishan, and on the other side of Korea, at an angle of 90 degrees to Weishan, there is the Golden Mountain Range, which spans three countries, and Sanggu Castle is at the southern foot of Golden Mountain. There is also the only Shuzhen sect in Korea - the "Golden Mountain Gate", which is composed of five small immortal sects.

Because of the small territory, there are not many monks in Korea, plus Fengcheng, Raocheng is the world of ordinary people after all, so the monk's residential area in Fengcheng is not large, but the monk's inn here is very exquisite.

In the small courtyard, an exquisite three-story building is erected in the middle, and there is a small open space in the front and back, left and right. The small courtyard has all kinds of living facilities, a well, and a small vegetable garden, which looks very elegant. The first floor of the small building is the reception room and dining room, the second floor is the alchemy room and the tenant's private work, and the third floor is the place where the monks sleep and meditate and breathe.

On the side of this courtyard are two east wings for the lower people to live in, and the west wing opposite the lower rooms is the cowshed and horse pen - this is a mortal city after all, and the architectural style has some characteristics of the mundane world.

The shopkeeper, who was good at observing words and feelings, noticed that there was no expression of rejection on Yun Duo's face, so he immediately bent down, stretched out three fingers, and said with a smile: "Immortal Chief, such a house rents three low-grade spirit stones every day, are you satisfied?"

With a wave of his hand, Yun Duo threw ten lower grade spirit stones into the arms of the shopkeeper: "This is three days' room money, I will reward you for the excess, I will live for about three or two days, if you still plan to live permanently, I will ask you to add money to renew the rent." ”

The shopkeeper was not in a hurry to leave, and when Yun Duo turned his questioning gaze to him, he asked with a courteous attitude: "Is the immortal chief planning to cook by himself?" This shop can provide a skilled cook, and the rent is also three low-grade spirit stones...... Of course, there are those who have better craftsmanship, but they charge more, and they need five lower grade spirit stones per day. Is the Immortal Chief planning to cook for himself, or is he going to hire someone to start the fire?"

Yun Duo frowned slightly: "It's okay, you can introduce a cook, but I don't like to be disturbed." ”

The shopkeeper immediately bowed and replied: "Immortal Chief, rest assured, this store has been open for a hundred years, and we all know the habits of the Immortal Chiefs, the chef of this store only cooks three meals a day, brings her own ingredients, and leaves after cooking, never inquiring about the situation of the guests, and never interferes with the cultivation of the Immortal Chief." ”

Yun Duo nodded, but the shopkeeper didn't mean to leave, so he had to ask again: "Am I going to give you the cost of hiring a cook now, or will I give it to the cook directly?"

The shopkeeper heard the impatience of the clouds, and hurriedly raised his hand to leave, he walked backwards to the door, and bowed again and again to explain: "It's all the same, Immortal Chief, it's all the same, you can give the small one the spirit stone first, and when the cook arrives, you can pay the fee directly to the cook...... The little ones will retire, and the chef you want will be there soon. ”

Waiting for the shopkeeper to exit the small courtyard, Jin Cheng laughed eatingly: "Do you know what the shopkeeper wanted to say just now? Haha, you are really a rookie in the cultivation realm...... Giggles, do you think the chef he recommended can cook? Haha, I'm laughing to death. (To be continued......)
