Chapter 18 Fortune and Misfortune Always Depend on Each Other
When Jiang Xiaobai came back, Yuanhua Zhenjun told him that he didn't have to go to the Zhenyan Hall in the future, but he was given another task, he had to go up the mountain every day to chop a bundle of firewood and come back.
Getting this task made Jiang Xiaobai feel a little cryless without tears, and he felt that there was no problem with his body!
Seeing his hesitation, Yuanhua Zhenjun pretended to explain: "In the first three realms of the Taishang Sutra, strengthening the exercise of the body will help the body absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and the speed of cultivation will be invisibly a few points faster!"
Jiang Xiaobai had nothing to say in an instant, he could only agree, it seemed that he would have to revise the time for cultivation in the future.
came out of the Wind and Thunder Courtyard, went to the Wushan Courtyard again, went to the senior brother, and took the giant egg of the pheasant demon back.
Looking at the egg on his table, which was a little smaller than the washbasin, he was a little speechless in his heart, and sighed secretly, forgetting to ask his senior brother how to eat this egg.
Eat it raw, boiled into poached eggs, or fried it......
sighed, and then reached out and touched the giant egg, there was actually a trace of warmth on the snow-white egg, which made Jiang Xiaobai stunned for a while, and said to himself: "Even the eggs are as big as a basin, how big is that pheasant demon!"
"Forget it, let's cook it and eat it! In the past, the master boiled eggs for me to eat!" Jiang Xiaobai sighed again, and remembered the way Jiang Lao Dao used to dig out the chicken nest and then boil eggs for himself.
"Or ...... Send this egg to Uncle Liu in the dining hall!Let him cook it for me?" After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaobai still felt that it was over, at this time, Uncle Liu was making lunch for the senior brothers, and there should be no spare time.
"Alas...... Let's go to the canteen, ask Uncle Liu to borrow a pot and a stove, and cook it yourself!"
In the Wind Thunder Sect, there are also many disciples who will prepare pots and pans in their own courtyards and cook and eat by themselves, but most of them will choose the canteen in order to save time for cultivation.
When Jiang Xiaobai came to the kitchen of the canteen, he saw Liu Yishou calling a few disciples, and he was in full swing, he himself was holding a soup spoon, stirring back and forth in a large pot, and the rich aroma of chicken soup made Jiang Xiaobai swallow his saliva. It seems that I am going to add food and drink chicken demon soup at noon today!
The registered disciple who was facing the door happened to see Jiang Xiaobai swallowing saliva at the door, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Hehe...... Senior Brother Xiaobai: Didn't you send the firewood here early today? Why did you come here again?"
"Senior Brother Zhengyuan, I want to come over to Uncle Liu to get a pot and a stove!" Xiao Bai walked in, stared curiously at the pot that was coming from the fragrance, and took a few sips of saliva again before saying.
"What's the matter? The food in the canteen is not to your liking, and you want to cook it yourself?" Squatting next to the stove, Senior Brother Zhengyan, who was watching the fire, raised his head, glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, and asked with a smile.
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly stopped and said, "It's not... No...... I just want a pot and some water to drink......"
Liu Yiyi also glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, put down the soup spoon in his hand, and then wiped his hands on the placket on his chest, walked over to Jiang Xiaobai, and scolded Senior Brother Zhengyan: "Stinky boy, take care of your fire, if it is extinguished, you won't eat it at noon!"
"Boy, come with me...... The new iron pot and stove are in the storage room!" Liu Yiyi said and walked out, Jiang Xiaobai following behind him.
"Come, take it back......," Liu called out as he walked into another room with one hand, brought out a cauldron and a stove from it, placed it at the door, and then locked the door.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu!" Jiang Xiaobai thanked with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you! Zhenjun very much agrees with the disciples of the Wind Thunder Sect and supports himself! If you go out to practice, you won't even be able to cook! You still practice a fart!" Liu waved his hand and scolded with a smile.
"Each courtyard is connected to a water source, in the corner of the wall, go back to find it yourself, as for the firewood problem, you have to solve it yourself! Also, this pot is new, you have to wash it several times, and then boil the hot water a few times before ......."
"Got it, Uncle Liu...... I'm leaving......" Jiang Xiaobai saw that Liu Yishou was gushing, and immediately picked up the iron pot, carried the stove and ran away!
"This kid, I didn't see it before, the body is actually ......" Liu shook his head softly, glanced at Jiang Xiaobai's disappearing figure, and turned around and went into the kitchen......
Jiang Xiaobai returned to the courtyard again, found the water source in the corner, and then washed the iron pot a few times, and when he wanted to go up the mountain to get some firewood and come back, it was already lunchtime, Wushan came to call him, and then Jiang Xiaobai went to the canteen with Wushan.
After eating, Jiang Xiaobai hurried to the back mountain, and two hours later, he walked back with a bundle of dry branches and sweaty.
Jiang Xiaobai originally thought that it would be easy to pick up a bundle of dry firewood in the back mountain where the jungle was lush, but when he went, he found that the mountains and trees of Cangshou Peak were towering, and they were growing very well, and there were almost no dead branches and leaves.
"It seems...... Tomorrow, I have to go up the mountain early! Otherwise, I don't know when I will be able to come back......" Jiang Xiaobai threw the dead branches into the backyard, sat down on the lawn, first silently recited the "Great Dao Xuanming True Solution", and then according to the Taishang Sutra to attract the essence of heaven and earth, he instantly felt a lot more comfortable.
Set up a pot, make a fire, and boil water!
After boiling three pots of water in a row and pouring it out, the water added to the pot became clear and had no peculiar smell, Jiang Xiaobai wiped his sweat and sighed: "This cooking business is really not easy to do! I really don't know how Uncle Liu has been doing it for so long...... It's so tiring......"
After resting for a while, he waited for the water in the iron pot to boil hot, and then took out the eggs in the house and gently put them into the pot.
It's a pity that by accident, his right hand actually made a wound on the edge of the iron pot, and red blood dripped on the snow-white shell of the egg.
The egg falls into the pot, makes a circle in the water, and then the hot water in the whole pot gradually turns red!
"Oops......" Jiang Xiaobai grinned in pain, pressed the wound that was still dripping blood into the pot with his left hand, turned around and ran into the house, found a piece of gauze, bandaged the wound, and then returned to the yard.
But I saw that the water in the pot had been tumbling, and the whole pot of water was actually bright red, like blood, and the eggs were floating up and down in the boiling blood water, and the original snow-white egg shells had become the same color as the blood water.
"Forget it! Don't change the water! It's hard to boil such a big pot of water...... Jiang Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, just cook it like this! You don't need to eat eggshells later! Just eat full moon wine and take a red egg!"
Jiang Xiaobai pinched the wound, snorted a few times, sat down on the lawn, and picked up the "Taishang Sutra", a stream of blood-red energy circulated in his body, surging towards his injured right hand, and in an instant, Jiang Xiaobai felt that his right hand was crispy and numb.
When he opened his eyes again, his right hand no longer felt so painful, but he heard a thumping sound behind him.
Jiang Xiaobai immediately turned around and was instantly shocked.
Damn, what's the situation? Why are eggs so big bumping around in the iron pot!
Something inside seems to be breaking out of its shell!!
