An Fuhai stared blankly at the closed door, his expression changed several times, and he laughed miserably for a moment.
I laughed in my heart and said, "Everyone has his own bellyache, who knows who's suffering? Haha. How I, An Fuhai, live, I don't need to let others judge."
Back in the kitchen, An Fuhai started frying rice again.
An Fuhai reminisced while frying rice.
He once lived in peace and prosperity, cooked soup for the officials of the feudal frontiers, and grilled fish and meat under the clans of thousands of households.
But he didn't understand why, the taste of fresh fat was only enjoyed by nobles, but he roasted meat all day long and didn't know the taste.
An Fuhai didn't even understand why dogs and humans ate food in the Zhumen, but there were hungry people dying on the road outside the Zhumen.
While eating fish meat, An Fuhai was attracted by the crystal clear and beautiful patterns on the meat slices. He finally couldn't help but take a piece, put it on the dipping sauce, and took a bite.
As a result, An Fuhai's behavior was discovered and he was severely whipped.
An Fuhai's friend, who was also a chef, took this opportunity to drive An Fuhai out of the place.
From a top chef to a beggar on the rainy street. An Fuhai understood the hotness of the world overnight. ——It’s just that this hot thing is a furnace, and you are treating yourself as coal.
After being burned, the furnace will reduce itself to a pinch of cold ashes. Therefore, the world will not give people warmth, it will only bring coldness after pain.
This is what An Fuhai realized in that incident.
An Fuhai didn't even bother to believe the nonsense about "becoming gold" told by Gu Yucheng.
The aroma of Anfuhai fried rice quickly attracted the fire fox.
The fire fox smiled ghostly and said, "Master An, don't you have a lot of food here?"
When An Fuhai saw the fire fox, his mood suddenly improved a little, and he laughed and cursed, "What? You brat, do you want to eat? Just tell me if you want to eat!"
The fire fox nodded repeatedly, pretending to be cautious, and filled out a large bowl of rice.
When An Fuhai saw this, he didn't say anything and just pretended not to see it.
The fire fox sighed while eating, prompting An Fuhai to ask, "You can just eat, what are you crazy about?!"
The fire fox chuckled, "Hey, don't you think that Mr. An can make this rice so delicious? If you make some dishes, it will be so delicious that it will fly against the roof of the house!"
An Fuhai grinned and said nothing.
Seeing this, the fire fox knew that his words were inappropriate, so he stopped talking.
An Fuhai was silent for a moment, then threw away the fried rice spoon and served himself a large bowl of rice.
An Fuhai smashed the bowl next to Fire Fox. The fire fox was so frightened that he almost got up and left.
When An Fuhai saw this, he cursed, "What are you afraid of! - Let me tell you, you, Mr. An, and I have also been beggars. I thought you were clever and lovable, so I let you come to me as a helper."
When you, Mr. An, were a beggar, you ate all the chaff. In this world, there are many birds, animals, and rare fruits and vegetables that cannot be eaten, but this fried rice can be eaten by anyone!
In this world, some people hate sour and sweet, and some people like spicy and sweet, and everyone disagrees, but everyone can eat this fried rice! So Mr. An, I have to do this! "
An Fuhai ate his fried rice and felt very happy.
Fire Fox looked at An Fuhai and suddenly felt relieved.
Fire Fox only felt that this man who always had a knife in his arms actually had a straightforward side.
After finishing the meal, An Fuhai pouted and sighed, "In the evening, go and call everyone over for dinner. As for me, I will cook for you two adults."
The fire fox was stunned, "This? You, Mr. An?"
An Fuhai skillfully threw the bowl back into the pot, and the bowl went into the pot without being broken.
An Fuhai sighed, "The Xue Mansion has arranged everything. What happens in the future depends entirely on these two."
Huo Hu was in a daze for a moment, nodded repeatedly, and replied, "It all depends on Mr. An. I still want to let Mr. An make the decision."
An Fuhai snorted, "That's all." After saying that, he got up and went to the stove again to get busy.
In the evening, Fire Fox led the monks out again. Everyone only saw the fried rice prepared, but An Fuhai was nowhere to be seen.
Fire Fox explained, "Master An was very tired today and has gone to rest. Don't worry about me."
After hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and ate peacefully. As long as Mr. An was there, they would not panic.
However, this group of monks did not know that Master An, whom they had expected and believed in, was now standing beside Gu Yucheng and Niu Youde, respectfully.
Seeing An Fuhai's cautious look, Gu Yucheng knew that this was An Fuhai's way of survival, so he didn't say anything. He took a few bites of the fried rice and said, "I think you can tell that the Xue Mansion is assessing the monks..."
An Fuhai quickly responded, "This is natural. Whatever you two adults need from An, An will do his best!"
Gu Yucheng sighed and said, "You don't need to call me two adults. - As long as you perform well in this test, you may not be able to enter the Xue Mansion. By then, you and I will be considered colleagues. Between colleagues , there is no need for humiliation."
Gu Yucheng will not stay in Xue Mansion, but he wants An Fuhai to help him and Niu Youde wholeheartedly, so he said this. ——What's more, if An Fuhai behaves well, he is likely to enter the Xue Mansion.
An Fuhai hesitated slightly when he heard this.
Gu Yucheng then said, "Gu Yucheng, I think you know this guy next to me."
Gu Yucheng saw An Fuhai relaxed a little, so he smiled and patted the side: "Come on, An Fuhai, you don't have to stand, sit next to us. Let's not talk about the future, now the two of us still want to use your prestige, how can we Let you stand down."
Niu Youde looked at Gu Yucheng who was talking and laughing freely, and couldn't help but admire him in his heart. At least, he couldn't be as upright as Gu Yucheng was at this moment.
An Fuhai dropped his body directly and let out a long breath.
Gu Yucheng continued, "The test content of Xue Mansion requires the three of us to lead the monks to obtain cultivation resources within two months. An Fuhai, you have been in Xuecheng much longer than us. Do you know how to obtain cultivation resources?"
Hearing this, An Fuhai frowned and remained silent for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yucheng and Niu Youde knew that obtaining cultivation resources might be far more difficult than they thought.
After a long silence, An Fuhai explained, "In An's opinion, the governance of Xuecheng is like the emperor and the princes. The Xue Mansion is the emperor. As long as the strength under the majesty is still there, the four old households in Xuecheng will keep their peace." , as the princes who share the emperor's worries and responsibilities.
But similarly, the emperor of Xue Mansion cannot reach to the very root of Xuecheng. The Xue Mansion can only manage the four elders, who are responsible for managing the lower-level monks in Xuecheng. "
"So in Xuecheng, the four elders are very powerful. Most of the old households recognize the four elders and do not follow the Xue Mansion. As for the cultivation resources, naturally most of them are in the hands of the four elders. I don't know what the Xue Mansion relies on for cultivation. "." An Fuhai further explained, "The two major channels for obtaining resources are both in the hands of the four elders. The four elders control them. When they are full, they will distribute them to the monks below. If we want to obtain resources, it is no less important than going to Stealing the jobs and money of the four elders - depriving someone of their money is no less than taking their wife and killing their father."
Gu Yucheng could hear An Fuhai's fear, but Gu Yucheng was not afraid.
It’s boring to pick a soft persimmon and pinch it! If you want to eat, eat hard food!
Gu Yucheng didn't believe that the Xue Mansion would let the four elders chop up his group.
Without this group of newcomers, Xuecheng would really be dead.
Gu Yucheng said directly, "Don't stop when you reach the middle of the mountain. You need to fight hard to hit the water in the middle. Today is about grabbing food from the tiger's mouth, and there is no room for retreat. Fuhai, please tell us how to obtain these cultivation resources!"
Seeing that Gu Yucheng was unwavering, An Fuhai also knew that this was the necessary method and there was no other way, so he replied, "Of the two channels I mentioned, only one is feasible.
Because one of them was given by the Four Elders to benefit his supporters. This road was the basis for the Four Elders to manage the lower-level monks. Even if the Xue Mansion took action, the Four Elders would not let go. "
Gu Yucheng nodded to express his understanding.
The Fourth Elder Eli made friends with his supporters. With the support of his supporters, the Four Elders could remain stable. The Four Elders will indeed not let anyone set foot on this path.
"The benefits granted by the Four Elders are to allow and only allow the old households with their permission to collect a certain amount of tax on the goods and resources entering Xuecheng and going to the Demon Kingdom. It is almost impossible for us to collect taxes." An Fuhai continued The analysis said, "So, we can only take the list."
Gu Yucheng and Niu Youde both looked at An Fuhai, obviously not understanding what taking the list meant.
An Fuhai continued to explain, “The channel that the Four Elders rely on to obtain resources is the list posted on the border of the Demon Kingdom.
This list contains various materials and resources that many families in the Demon Kingdom need. These resources and materials are either rare in the Demon Kingdom, or are difficult for those families to obtain in the Demon Kingdom. Take off the tasks on the list and complete the tasks to obtain resources. "
"The Four Elders have almost a monopoly on getting the list. They have established channels with the Central Plains and the Shang Kingdom to complete the list tasks at low prices, thus obtaining abundant resources. If we want to get the list, the difficulty is to get the list task. As for getting the list, it is difficult. Although there is no channel to complete tasks after the ranking, most of them have to leave Xuecheng to complete, and the influence of the four elders is far from reaching outside Xuecheng."
Niu Youde asked doubtfully, "Is it difficult to get the ranking?"
An Fuhai smiled slightly uncomfortably, "Let's not talk about whether it is difficult to get the list. Just because we have gathered so many monks now, the four elders will not turn a blind eye. Maybe the four elders will send someone tomorrow."
Gu Yucheng frowned and thought for a moment and then asked, "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. Now I want to know, what is the specific difficulty in getting the list?"
An Fuhai shook his head, "I can't explain everything in detail about taking the list. After all, I don't have much contact with it."
Hearing this, Gu Yucheng sighed helplessly, "In this case, we can only recharge our batteries tonight. We will unite everyone tomorrow morning and test the border list."
An Fuhai was about to get up after hearing this, but Gu Yucheng quickly stopped him, "Fuhai, I think this house seems to be the only one left in the courtyard, and this house is so clean, I'm afraid it's not for you to live in, right?"
An Fuhai was stunned. Gu Yucheng didn't need An Fuhai to answer and said directly, "The three of us will sleep together tonight."
An Fuhai nodded, "Okay."
The three of them burned lanterns to continue the day, and An Fuhai did his best to help Gu Yucheng and Gu Yucheng analyze the rankings.
The monks outside the lamp were also sent back one by one by the fire fox.
Tonight's Xuecheng is like a dry river before heavy rain falls. When fresh rootless water fills the old river bed, no one knows what will happen.
When the four rootless monks dismissed by the Xue Mansion faced off against the old residents of Xuecheng, no one knew the final outcome.
…
In order to prevent the four elders from taking action to extinguish the line of monks in the Xue Mansion, Liang Yi had already visited the three elders Yu, An and Sheng.
