The Queen Mother smiled and said: "As far as I know, you haven't been practicing for many years. I didn't expect that not only are you versatile, but the disciples you taught can also brew fairy wine. I really am impressed by this palace!"
When Qi Yuan heard this, he said with some embarrassment: "That...Wei Chen's current disciples have not learned how to brew immortal wine."
He still planned to tell the truth, otherwise it would not be worth it to deceive the Queen Mother for such a trivial matter.
"Actually, the reason why Weichen asked the empress for the priesthood of Dionysus was for the sake of the future.
I already have enough things on my plate. I have to take care of all the Kitchen God Division's affairs, and also take care of the people in the lower world. I also have disciples to teach. If I add more authority to my body, then I won't be able to practice at all.
It’s time.”
Qi Yuan sighed helplessly: "Not long after the Kitchen God Division was established, there was a shortage of manpower, so Wei Chen was first in charge of brewing the fairy wine. However, after the Peach Festival is over, Wei Chen will gradually delegate power and run the Kitchen God Division. Otherwise, a
People are really too busy.
When the time comes, I will select one of my disciples to teach him the art of brewing fairy wine, and let him serve as the god of wine to provide fairy wine to heaven. Wouldn't it save worry and effort, and is much better than having to shoulder everything on my own shoulders."
He was complaining, telling the Queen Mother how busy he was with the peach feast.
In fact, although it is a bit busy, it is not overwhelming. Now all the tasks of teaching apprentices in the Kitchen God Division have been transferred to the spiritual chefs.
The most he and Gao Yan could do was point out the skills of those spiritual chefs, so it was already much easier than when they first built the Kitchen God Division, otherwise he wouldn't have time to brew wine.
Several apprentices also have their own training directions. Even Li Yingqi, who has the weakest cultivation level, is pursuing the path of Kuai Jian tirelessly. Even without his guidance, nothing will go wrong in a short time.
As for the common people, there is actually no need to worry too much. The human race has its own development direction. The gods in heaven mainly manage the major events in the operation of the three realms, such as the stars in the sky, the rotation of the sun and the moon, the changes in the four seasons, rain, snow, wind and thunder, etc.
matter.
The gods who were sent to the lower world, such as the mountain gods, Tuhebo, etc., are worshiped by many people among the people, but in heaven, they can only be regarded as grassroots gods, and most of their responsibilities are just
Supervision is used to prevent big troubles, rather than to actively guide people how to live their lives.
The same is true for Qi Yuan. Whether he is in charge of the stoves in people's homes or supervising the good and evil of the people, he is not required to do more in his priestly duties.
He doesn't want to listen to other people's comments every day, and half of his responsibility for monitoring good and evil has been assigned to him.
Yaizhen was responsible for recording the evil deeds of the people while holding the evil jar. Later, he would find someone to hold the good jar for him to record the good deeds of the people. After the peach feast, he presented the Jade Emperor's edict to confer a group of auxiliary gods under his command, and asked them to take charge of the stove fires in various places in the lower world. Qi Yuan
Then you can be completely freed.
However, a child who cries will be fed milk.
He could complain in front of the Queen Mother and win some sympathy. Maybe the Queen Mother would be soft-hearted and give him more benefits!
"well……"
The Queen Mother sighed softly: "In that case, I have really worked hard for you. Since you want to set up the position of Dionysus in the Kitchen God Department, then I will ask your Majesty to issue an edict later to confer the position of Dionysus to your Kitchen God Department.
Yes, you can make arrangements later when you have a suitable candidate."
"Thank you for your understanding. Your Majesty is so kind-hearted. I will do my best to organize the peach feast for you."
Qi Yuan was happy in his heart, and he flattered the Queen Mother a little bit without any trace of it, making the Queen Mother dumbfounded.
"Okay, okay, I know that you are doing things with intention, so your reward will naturally be indispensable when the time comes."
The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly. This boy's mouth was like honey, and he knew how to say nice things. No wonder not only his niece was deceived by him, but even his own daughter also had a good impression of him.
Um?
It should just be a good impression between fellow Taoists... right!?
The Queen Mother suddenly felt that she should take a closer look at her daughter and not let anything else happen to her, which would make people laugh.
A long time passed, and after the Queen Mother understood all the food and drinks, Qi Yuan said goodbye.
After he walked out of the hall, he vaguely heard the Queen Mother talking to Shi Ji at the back: "Your nephew is really a moral man. He has made such great contributions, and I am going to ask your majesty to give him a big reward.
Unexpectedly, he only mentioned to me the priesthood of Dionysus.
Since he brewed this fairy wine, the position of Dionysus must be placed in the Kitchen God Division. Unexpectedly, he was the first to propose that he only wanted such a divine position. Presumably, he was afraid that His Majesty would reward him too much, so he proposed it now.
came out.
There are not many gods who work hard like this and don't ask for rewards. Such behavior is indeed worthy of praise."
After Qi Yuan heard these words outside, his body couldn't help but stiffen.
For a moment, he wanted to go back and tell the Queen Mother that he was not an open-minded person. He was also greedy and wanted more rewards.
However, he still wanted to save some face after all and was really embarrassed to go back at this time.
He suddenly felt regretful.
You shouldn't have asked the Queen Mother for the priesthood of Dionysus just now. Since you have already made great achievements, with the temperament of these two people, they will definitely be rewarded.
The result was good. When he asked for it, the Queen Mother agreed, making him embarrassed to mention any other benefits he wanted.
In the hall, Shi Ji looked at Qi Yuan's figure who immediately quickened his pace and left after a pause. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Why do you have to tease him? I'm afraid that Junior Nephew Qi will be depressed for a while after he goes back."
"hehe……"
The Queen Mother chuckled: "This boy just needs to be beaten. He gets carried away easily after making some achievements. His Majesty and I will naturally see all the things he has done. There is no need for him to take the initiative to ask for benefits."
?”
In fact, it was because he regarded Qi Yuan as one of his own that he made such a joke.
If it had been anyone else, the Queen Mother would not have made such a joke.
Qi Yuan flew all the way back to Kitchen God Division in depression. Even the position of Dionysus promised by the Queen Mother no longer felt good.
Fortunately, he didn't have a bad temper, and he didn't want to show off his face in front of everyone, so as not to worry those close to him, so he quickly adjusted his mood and started making preparations for brewing the fairy wine.
The brewing of fairy wine is not only something he can do if he knows how to brew it, but also requires help. He doesn't want to stay in the brewing workshop every day.
Fortunately, he has a lot of people in the Kitchen God Department, whether they are servants or apprentices in the kitchen. He will grab a lot of them. When the time comes, he will announce that there will definitely be no shortage of people willing to enter the fairy wine brewing workshop.
Especially the servants, although they do not have the opportunity to enter the kitchen to learn cooking skills, if they enter the workshop of brewing fairy wine, they can still learn a skill, which will have a better future than doing some cleaning work all the time.
Therefore, there will definitely be many servants willing to work in the fairy wine workshop. When the time comes, just choose some honest and reliable ones to join.
The key is that in addition to these, a large amount of raw materials are needed.
There will be no shortage of other things in heaven, whether it is the nectar and jade liquid used for blending, or various fairy fruit elixirs, I believe the Queen Mother will definitely supply a large amount, enough for him to use.
But those grains and other raw materials are not enough.
Heaven has never had the habit of growing food in the past!
It would definitely not work if we only relied on the small amount of spiritual food produced in Qi Yuan's Creation Thunder Cauldron.
After all, he only planted those spiritual grains to satisfy his appetite and use them for cooking and making pasta and pastries, so he did not open up too many spiritual fields to grow grains.
It seems that a large area of spiritual land needs to be opened up as soon as possible to grow various grains for wine making.
However, if he is allowed to plant it in the Thunder Cauldron of Creation, it seems to be too tiring.
He doesn't want to work in the fields every day.
It just so happens that the heaven is vast and full of spiritual energy. Let's just open spiritual fields in the heaven and grow food.
With the aura of heaven, the grains and other things grown will definitely contain abundant spiritual energy and are definitely suitable for brewing fairy wine, and there will definitely be a lot of excess, which can be sent to Kitchen God Si to be turned into various pastries.
.
After planning these things, Qi Yuan went directly to Shi Ji and asked her to arrange for people to find some fertile spiritual land outside the heaven to open up spiritual fields. Then Qi Yuan donated the grains and spiritual grains he had stored as grain seeds.
.
With heaven's means, this large area of spiritual land can easily be transformed into a smooth climate, and the climate is absolutely suitable for the growth of food.
Although there are no people in heaven who specialize in farming, it doesn't matter. Heaven has a logistics base in the underworld that can continuously provide talents.
With an order, many people who have been working with food in the fields all their lives will be sent to the heaven. After their bodies are condensed in the Huanxian Pond, they will be allowed to open up spiritual fields and plant grains, vegetables, fruits, etc.
What the Kitchen God Division needs.
From this, the profession of Ling Zhifu was derived.
Although they are still just a group of ordinary farmers, in the future, with the expansion of spiritual fields, the increase in the number of people in heaven, and the increasing number of immortal wines and various spiritual meals produced by Kitchen God Division, the role of these spiritual planters will definitely also increase.
getting bigger.
In addition, Qi Yuan also suggested that the people who farmed in the heavens could raise some cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and other poultry and livestock in their homes. The chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep that grew up in the environment of the heavens had abundant spiritual energy in their bodies, and they could be used as ordinary people in the Kitchen God Department.
Food sources.
Otherwise, there would not be demons causing trouble in the lower realm every day. After this period of time passes, most of the demon kings in the world migrate to Beiju Luzhou, and heaven can no longer easily eliminate demons from the lower realm. The source of food will definitely be much less.
Just let these people raise poultry to make up for it.
As for the ingredients above the level of demons and immortals, it all depends on chance. If there are demon kings who dare to cause trouble in the lower realm, the kitchen god's pots and stoves will be their safe haven.
At the same time, several craftsmen from the Craftsman Division who were good at building palaces and mansions came to the Kitchen God Division with their men, and began to build breweries according to Qi Yuan's requirements. At the same time, they also excavated and built more than a dozen different breweries in different categories.
The wine cellar can store different kinds of ambrosia.
Moreover, the other master craftsmen of the Craftsmanship Department have also put down most of their work and started busy refining the wine-making tools and various supporting utensils needed by Qi Yuan.
It is not difficult to refine these things, but the demand is a bit high, so the craftsmanship department has been very busy for a while.
Coming to refine these simple things every day also made several craftsmen express their dissatisfaction.
But Qi Yuan didn't care what they thought. After finishing his work every day, he just stayed in the big kitchen and taught the talented chefs how to cook, especially Chen Zhen and other chefs with very high culinary talents.
Under his careful guidance, considerable progress has been made.
Waves of attractive aroma wafted out of the kitchen every day, and it did not spread outside the Kitchen God Department, but just drifted in the house. To be more precise, most of it drifted in the direction of the people in the Craftsman Department.
This makes people like Tsang Zuosi suffer a little.
They didn't expect that the cooking skills of the Kitchen God Division's spiritual chefs were so superb. Smelling these aromas every day made them feel itchy and unbearable, and they could no longer concentrate on their work.
These guys were busy building breweries, but they had to endure such an alluring smell, so there was a spectacle of drooling while working.
Those craftsman gods couldn't resist the temptation and came to Qi Yuan in person, hoping that Qi Yuan would provide them with some spiritual meals.
Qi Yuan refused and told them that every ingredient in the warehouse had been registered and it was impossible to break the rules and waste ingredients just for them.
Those craftsman gods sneered at Qi Yuan's words.
If you really have to be so strict, will you still be so happy eating every day?
I make so much spiritual food every day, and I don’t see you delivering it outside. It’s obviously all consumed internally.
Especially the chubby little girl next to you, Mr. Qi Dazao, how much good food must she eat every day to keep such a handsome crane so plump?
However, since Qi Yuan said he would not give it, there was nothing they could do.
You can't go to the kitchen and compete with them for food.
Moreover, some of them have already guessed why Qi Yuan said these words.
Isn't this the way they came to the Kitchen God Division to register the weapon refining materials on the demon kings in order to prevent someone from the Kitchen God Division from enriching their own pockets?
It seems that this Kitchen Lord is a little dissatisfied with this!
Those craftsmen gods were also dumbfounded.
It's really not their fault.
They mainly refine buildings such as palaces and mansions, but they are not very proficient in the refining methods of some conventional magic weapons and spiritual treasures.
Therefore, it was not them who came to the Kitchen God Division to register the refining materials for the demon kings, but the craftsman gods who were good at refining spiritual treasures.
