241. Stove Master, Three Bowls of Rice (2/2)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
A stool was placed in front of the young and old,

The two of them each found a place to sit.

Several dishes of pickles were placed on the bench, and the following rice was served.

The old man with dark skin, short and fat, and a thick neck was holding a large porcelain bowl. The rice in the bowl was topped with a few large pieces of fat meat - much less than the meat and vegetables in the Su Wu bowl next to him.

He picked up a piece of fat pork and stuffed it into his mouth,

Swallow it into your stomach a few times,

He quickly picked up a large bowl of rice, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times with his cheeks puffed out, and then swallowed it whole.

"fragrant!"

The fat old man sighed in admiration.

His eyes glanced at the skinny young man next to him whose hair was as messy as bushes and had not even been combed into a bun.

"Master, would you like to eat a few more pieces? I still have them here." Su Wu used the kuaizi to pinch off a piece of meat with two knives, and took a small bite of the meat into the belly of the big kuaizi crispy rice, looking like he was reluctant to finish the meat.

——Actually, he thinks fat meat is too greasy.

Some are hard to swallow.

But in the opinion of the fat old man, it is natural that poor children are reluctant to eat meat in large quantities and must cherish it and taste it carefully.

Seeing Su Wu push his bowl towards him,

The fat old man shook his head and said: "Eat a lot!

After passing this village, you may not find this store. If you can have a good meal today, then eat it quickly!

Do not bother me!"

As he said this, he started to eat.

When Su Wu heard this, his eyes flashed.

But the tachyon stopped.

Suddenly he said: "Master, don't you have anything to tell me?

What should I pay attention to when delivering uncooked rice to the neighboring village at night?"

"I told you what I should have told you during the day, and you took note of it carefully at the time. Why do you want the old man to talk so much now?" The fat old man put down the empty sea bowl and looked at Su Wu sideways, "What's the matter?

?

Seeing the smell of meat,

Suddenly I felt that this life was pretty good,

Are you scared to death again?”

really!

The very act of delivering raw rice to the next village was extremely unusual.

As the 'rice sender', my life may be in danger!

This fat old man was not close to the original owner.

There is even some strangeness between the two of them.

But the fat old man who had mastered the food was still willing to give most of the meat to himself - maybe because the matter of "giving rice" was very dangerous, and he might not get another meal after eating it, so he pitied himself.

He has compassion, which is a good thing for himself.

Su Wu secretly analyzed the words of the fat old man, but on the surface he shook his head and said: "I have already promised the master, so naturally I can't stop sending rice for fear of death. A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, I understand!"

The young man speaks with an accent.

At that moment, Su Wu assumed the identity of the original owner because the simulator had concealed him.

He also had a slight accent in his words.

“A promise worth a thousand pieces of gold…

You wild boy, have you ever heard of Ji Bu's story?" The fat old man smiled and said, "That's fine!

After all, you are still a child, with a young mind,

If the old man tells you, it goes in your left ear and out the right ear - that's normal too.

You might as well waste more time now,

Let me tell you again...

You have to remember this time!

Can't remember,

Then this meal really will be your last meal!

Today someone beat a dog and gave it to the old man. The dog meat smells so good. If you want to eat the dog meat made by the old man tomorrow, then remember what the old man said now. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes!" Su Wu responded quickly and sat upright.

Unexpectedly, the fat old man looked at his actions,

He glanced at him sideways again: "Why are you putting down the bowl so quickly? You will have to travel more than 20 miles to deliver food to the next village.

Looking at your hemp-like appearance, a gust of wind can blow you down.

If you don’t eat more at this time, you will be so hungry that you can’t walk on the road and wait for the swindler to pick you up and eat you?”

sly?!

Su Wu originally thought that he would have to make some insidious remarks.

Only then can we learn some ‘dry stuff’.

I didn’t expect that the fat old man would say the word ‘cunning’ so casually!

What he said was weird,

Is it the kind of trick I thought it was?

Thoughts are spinning in my mind,

Su Wu quickly used his kuaizi to scoop up the crispy rice and stuffed it into his mouth with two cuts of meat - but at this time, he didn't care about the fat and greasy meat.

Look at him picking up the rice like a piggy,

A heartfelt smile appeared on the dark face of the fat old man: "Food is the most important thing for the people, this is the principle of heaven and earth!

Why should I worship the Stove God Sect and become the ‘stove master’?

It’s because the philosophy of the Kitchen God Sect is the philosophy of ordinary people..."

(Su Wu immerses himself in cooking.)

The fat old man, who had just been dissatisfied with how quickly the other party put down his bowl, saw that Su Wu was focused on eating rice and ignored him, so he glared at Su Wu and said,

But in the end he didn’t say anything more,

Then he said: "Yozhuzi, when you are full, put the food basket on your back.

Bring the three bowls of rice from the stove for Gui.

Then go to the east,

Do you remember these?"

The fat old man stared at Su Wu,

Su Wu ate most of the rice and meat in the bowl. After hearing this, he swallowed a mouthful of rice and nodded quickly: "Remember, remember!"

It’s weird to remember!

But now the other party repeated what he said again,

He actually remembered it again.

"It seems you haven't forgotten everything yet.

Don't look at me, eat and eat!" The fat old man opened his leather apron and took out a copper pipe pot from his arms. He picked a handful of tobacco from the bag, filled it into the pot and compacted it.

Pull out a wooden pole with sparks on it,

Heat the smoke pot red.

‘Bata’.

He took a strong puff and exhaled the choking smell of tobacco. Seeing Su Wu looking at the pipe in his hand, he handed it to Su Wu: "Want a sip?"

"No, no, no." Su Wu quickly shook his head, "You smoke, you smoke."

He saw the fat old man smoking a pot and smoking a pot,

I am speculating in my heart that in this historical period,

It should be late tomorrow.

It was at this time that tobacco became popular.

Holding the pipe and pot, the fat old man squinted his eyes and continued: "The roads in these places here are all connected. Once you get on the road, just walk eastward with all your heart.

Don't stop in between.

On this road,

You will first pass by a place called Mantou Mountain.

It is said to be Mantou Mountain, but actually that place is not a good place for growing crops or producing food.

It’s just a big grave circle!

The grave mounds stood there like steamed buns.

Remember,

When walking on Mantou Mountain,

You may see that this mountain does not seem to be a mountain,

You will feel that this place is different from what you thought. At this time, you pick up the first bowl of 'paving rice'——"

The fat old man pointed to the leftmost bowl of uncooked rice on the stove with his pipe pot: "I have marked it for you. I drew a circle on the bowl containing paving rice. Just look for this one."

You hold on to this paving rice,

Scatter it everywhere like paper money,

While speaking, he wanted to curse - these dirty words will get into your mother's hair, you donkey will fuck me,

Ahem... In short, you can scold me no matter how dirty you are.

When you finish scattering the rice,

We can probably see the real Mantou Mountain, so don’t stop and leave quickly.”

"I remember." Su Wu said solemnly.

"Going down to Mantou Mountain,

After passing through a small forest, there is a stage terrace further ahead.

On the stage,

You may encounter three situations.

The first type is an empty place with no lights and no lights, so you can’t see anything.

This is a good thing, you can just leave when the time comes.

The second type is that a stage has been set up over there. If there is an actor in red clothes on the stage, waving at you and waving his sleeves, inviting you to come on stage - you must not look at her beautiful paintings and become confused.

Daodi followed!

When this happens, quickly unbutton your pants and urinate on the stage.

Turn around and run!

Generally, after running five or six hundred steps, everything will be fine.

The third type will also have a stage,

However, an old monk will come out from the stage and sit on the stage to chant sutras.

At this time, you pretend to be crazy, stuff the second bowl of rice into your mouth, and keep spraying it on the table.

When did you spray down the stage?

You can then continue on your way.

The two circles drawn on the bowl are wine rice."

"Okay." Su Wu finished the last bite of rice.

The fat old man looked at the shiny bottom of the bowl with not a grain of rice left. He nodded with satisfaction. After taking the last puff of cigarette, he knocked the pot on the sole of his shoe and said, "Walk past Mantou Mountain and Stage Ping.

,

It's nothing.

You will go all the way to ‘Tanjia Village’.

In front of the wooden archway in Tanjiacun,

Put down the rice,

Put a handful of incense on the rice.

Just find a leeward corner and sleep there for the night.

Someone may ask you something in the middle,

No matter what the question is, don't answer it.

Wait until daybreak,

Look at the bowl of uncooked rice under the archway. Is it moldy or rancid?

Weigh it with your hands,

Heavy or light?

Just write these things down and tell me when you get back.

It will be broad daylight when we come back,

There’s no need to worry about the stage terrace or the Mantou Mountain, just walk all the way!”

Su Wu kept all the fat old man's instructions in mind.

But I couldn't help but feel confused,

He asked the fat old man: "Master, you know these things much better than me. Wouldn't it be better for you to go than for me to go?"

"What a fart!"

The fat old man rolled his eyes: "I'm going to deliver rice.

Are you cooking a stove here?

Or are you brave enough to give food to Gui who is sleeping on the road so that he will not go in the direction of Tanjiacun?"

Burning stove...

Serve food to Gui...

Su Wu glanced at the red firewood stove and felt that the firelight was vaguely familiar - it was like the feeling that the firelight gave him in the small temple that he once used as a stronghold in the city of Mingzhou.

But there are many subtle differences between the two...

He considered it carefully and asked the fat old man: "Master, does Gui also want to eat?"

The fat old man turned to glare at him: "Nonsense!

If Gui doesn't eat, won't our Kitchen God Cult have nothing to eat?

This stick of incense is almost finished burning,

As soon as it's finished burning, get going!

Otherwise, the old man won’t have time to greet you when a stranger comes by, and whether you will live or die by then will all depend on your fate!”

talking,

The fat old man turned around again,

Looking at Su Wu's face: "But then again, you piggy don't seem to be afraid of these at all?

Pretend, or is it real?

If you are really not afraid, then it is a good seedling."

He called Su Wu a 'wild boar' and a 'piggy', but in fact he did not necessarily mean to belittle Su Wu.

These cheap names and nicknames,

It is precisely to enable young people to grow up safely.

Su Wu scratched his head and smiled.

He stood up and said, "Then I'll put the basket on my back and let's set off, master."
