The majestic light illuminates the three realms. The supreme pure energy spreads throughout the earth.
The red bell on the tower is automatic in the absence of wind, and its inspiring sound resonates far away, resonating in all directions.
The appearance of the jade bone relic is like a sea-calming pearl in the entire turbulent cultivation world, stabilizing the turbulent undercurrents in all directions.
Since the advent of the relics, more and more cultivators have come to visit Daozhenzong. The originally abject courtyard suddenly became bustling with traffic. Daoxuanzi was cheerful every day, and his eyes were shining with a light that had never been seen in the past. With the blessing of the jade bone relic, life gradually became less dull than before. Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, Yu Tianqing seemed to vaguely see the glory of Daozhen Sect back then.
The chimney curls up, and the aroma of vegetables flows. Every meal time, a group of monks squatted outside the kitchen. Everyone held their heads high and looked at the kitchen door, their eyes glowing green...
At this time, Jiang Feng, wearing a white apron and a silk scarf, would appear in front of everyone with a big pot, and then shout...
"Which bastard bought the vinegar!?"
An angry shout replaced the previous shouts, and everyone was stunned. Looking at him with one hand on his hips and a shovel in the other, his face full of displeasure, everyone couldn't help but look at each other and took a step back in unison.
Only a thin old man was left, scratching his head, raising his hands, and said awkwardly, "I bought it."
Jiang Feng walked up to him, sighed heavily and said, "Old senior, you are also a senior after all, how can you not even buy a bottle of vinegar? Is this vinegar? Can you smell it? Does it smell like vinegar?"
"..."
Jiang Feng said again, "Old man, at least you have eaten more salt than I have walked. Why don't you know that seasoning is the soul of a chef and the magic that opens up the taste buds? We agreed today
I want to make sweet and sour lotus root today, but now I only have lotus root without vinegar, which is equivalent to the chef losing his soul and his taste buds losing consciousness. How can we make this dish today? What should you do with so many brothers waiting to eat? "
Seeing all the looks in his eyes, the old man immediately sat down on the ground and started to cry loudly.
Dao Xuanzi, who heard the commotion, came over and immediately slapped Jiang Feng on the head, "Little bastard, do you still think that elders and younger ones are inferior to each other? How dare you reprimand the seniors here? Why don't you give it to the old seniors?" Apologize."
Jiang Feng touched his head and muttered to the old man unwillingly, "Senior, I'm sorry, I was just in a hurry. If you don't want to be jealous, just let someone else do it. But now that you've done it, I don't know why." When the water comes back from urination, it really affects my cooking skills."
The old man cried even more sadly after hearing this.
Dao Xuanzi immediately twisted his ears, ignoring Jiang Feng's sound of pain, and cursed, "Hey, you brat, I asked you to apologize, but you still scolded others, are you going to get punished?"
Jiang Feng drooped his head, looking uninterested, "Anyway, we can't make sweet and sour pork ribs. What else can we eat if we don't eat the noodles?"
Dao Xuanzi slapped him on the back of the head, "You little bastard, are you still poor like me?!"
At this time, the old man cried louder.
Dao Xuanzi hurriedly patted him on the back and said, "Senior, don't blame me. This young disciple is so young and naughty by nature. It's because I, the master, didn't teach him well. If you, senior, blame me, blame me."
With that said, Dao Xuanzi made a gesture to kneel down to the old man.
Seeing this, Jiang Feng hurriedly grabbed Dao Xuanzi's sleeves, and then said to the crying old man on the ground, "Old senior, it was my fault. My tone just now was too harsh. I shouldn't blame you. Please stop crying."
After hearing this, the old man cried and shook his head.
Dao Xuanzi said in a deep voice, "This young disciple is really ridiculous, has no respect for his elders, and behaves without morals. So be it, I will give him twenty spankings now as an apology to you."
After saying that, Dao Xuanzi pulled out a golden nanmu ruler from his wide sleeves and shouted at Jiang Feng, "Evil disciple, why don't you kneel down and be punished?!"
Jiang Feng looked helpless and slowly knelt down.
Just when Dao Xuanzi raised the ruler, the old man suddenly stood in front of Jiang Feng. He wiped his tears and said pitifully, "Master Dao, if you really want to punish him, why not let your apprentice cook a bowl of matsutake mushrooms?" Give me pigeon egg soup as an apology."
"What?" Dao Xuanzi was stunned. Looking at the sincere old man, he couldn't help but repeat, "Matsutake and pigeon egg soup?"
"Not bad!" The old man nodded firmly, "Ever since I tasted your apprentice's cooking skills last time, I have been thinking about it. I just want to take that bite again, and I will die without regrets."
Unexpectedly, the old man in front of him actually made such a request.
Dao Xuanzi murmured in his heart, while smiling and comforting, "What's the problem? I'll let Bastard do it for you."
After a look, Jiang Feng suddenly returned to the kitchen unwillingly, and the smoke continued to billow. After a while, he came out with a bowl of pine mushroom and pigeon egg soup and placed it in front of the old man.
The old man immediately started eating with enthusiasm, and after a while he finished everything. He said with satisfaction, "I've traveled all over the country, and I just love to eat something delicious. If I can't eat it, I feel as uncomfortable as a cat scratching me. I ate Ling's cooking a few days ago, and then I eat other people's food. , just like the clear soup that is watery and tasteless."
Dao Xuanzi chuckled and said, "As an apprentice, I am not good at writing or martial arts, but my cooking skills can still be considered acceptable."
The old man said, "Master Dao, don't underestimate this cooking skill. Food is the most important thing for the people. If you capture the stomachs of the people, you will capture the world. Do you think this is such a big deal? You can't be careless, but you can't be careless." "
Dao Xuanzi smiled and said, "It's what the old man said."
Jiang Feng was very unhappy with this old man who didn't know how to be jealous. Now that he heard him praising himself so much, he immediately retracted his prejudice and couldn't help but ask, "Old senior, since you are so particular about eating, how can you be jealous?" Even if it doesn’t work?”
The old man immediately said with a mournful face, "Little brother, this is not the fault of the old man. The old man came here to be jealous. He originally wanted to buy some spices from the Western Regions for seasoning and clinker for my brother. When I saw the old man in the grocery store at the foot of the mountain, it was not When he said something was sold out, he said someone else had reserved it. Anyway, he just wouldn’t sell it to the old man. The old man thought that he couldn’t leave empty-handed, so he went to a farmhouse and begged for some, but unexpectedly it still evaporated and expired. of."
After hearing what he said, Dao Xuanzi and Jiang Feng looked at each other for a moment. Jiang Feng said in disbelief, "Is it another shady merchant who wants to stock up on goods and increase prices?"
Dao Xuanzi said it was not good, "Our living expenses are limited. If the prices of these oils, salt, sauces and vinegars increase, we will really have to suffer from the northwest wind."
Jiang Feng immediately said, "Then I'll go down the mountain immediately, find some accommodating merchants I know in the past, and bring back some condiments. Without these condiments, I can't cook anything."
Dao Xuanzi said, "That's fine, that's fine, so as not to be sat on and raised the price in the future."
The old man also clapped his hands and said in agreement, "Go quickly, go quickly, how can you swallow the food without condiments? I will go with you."
