Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 377. Chapter 376. Shouchu, I'm Happy

"Huh?...is it dark?"

When Li Zhen, who was sour all over, opened his eyes, he didn't notice the valuable mink fur on his body for the time being. He looked out of the dark tent with surprise in his eyes.

Not surprised by the weather, but surprised by a pair of new shoes placed in front of me.

Although it is not the kind of handmade, it looks like a finished product from a craftsman's workshop.

But... is new.

It was almost noon when he came back.

He only felt that he was sleeping in a dark place, and occasionally there were people walking around, and he even sensed that someone was watching him... But out of trust in Xuan Suning, Li Zhen didn't think about it at all. many.

No matter what, I just want to sleep well.

It turned out to be unexpected, this sleep really didn't last long.

Genius black... and got a new pair of shoes.

He thought he would sleep for three days and three nights... what?

"???"

When he came out of the toilet he had built with new shoes, he met a soldier who was guarding equipment and patrolling the night. He asked casually "what time" and got the answer "Yin time just passed", Li Zhen was speechless:
"It's almost dawn?"

And maybe it was the absurd expression on Li Zhen's face that triggered the soldier's speechlessness, only to hear the soldier who was about to go to the bathroom say:
"Daoist, it's not dawn soon...it's because Daoist has been sleeping for almost two days in a row, it's dawn."

"Oh, two days... huh???"

Seeing that the Taoist leader looked at him as if he had seen Piao Piao, he didn't seem to be able to get angry at any time, on the contrary, he seemed a little easy-going because of this "confusion", and the soldier said one more sentence:

"The Taoist priest has been sleeping since the morning of the day before yesterday. During the period, Shangguan thought that there was something wrong with the Taoist priest and he wanted to invite the doctor. After all...the Taoist priest didn't even make a snoring sound. It seemed a bit too scary. Later, when the Taoist priest turned over , I’m sure it’s just a rest, Lord Shangguan won’t let me disturb you, and wait for the Taoist priest to wake up himself.”

"Uh……"

Looking at the soldiers who looked like "sleep for two days, young man, you can do it", Li Zhen nodded:

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Jun."

"Don't dare."

As soon as he even called out "Master Jun", the soldiers hurriedly waved their hands, and after Li Zhen had a polite word with him, he stopped bothering him about going to the bathroom.

Looking up at the sky again, I found that as the other party said, the sky was slightly white.

And in the shanty town not far from him, there are already sporadic lights.

Obviously, the cook has already started cooking.

After thinking for a while, he walked all the way to Yishui.

There are artifacts everywhere.

Rattan side baskets, long poles, ropes and so on are placed in a pile.

He is not a professional in dredging work, although he can probably figure out what the other party is doing, but how to do it... He hasn't seen it yet, so he can't figure it out.

Stretched his hand into Yishui.

A chill came over.

He picked up a handful of water, held it to his nose and sniffed it.

Honestly...can't smell anything.

Except for the occasional large chunks of broken ice, accompanied by the flickering and flickering of the waves, the quietly flowing river... I don't feel that the river is dirty at all.

He washed his face with river water.

After sleeping for two days in a row, I was completely refreshed.

The coldness of the river gave him a sense of transparency from the inside out.

But the mood is not so good.

Obviously, one heart disease has been cured, but another heart disease weighs heavily on his heart, making him feel depressed as if he just surfaced to take a breath and was pushed into the water again.

Very depressing.

Standing on the shore, he stood there for a while.

It wasn't until Tianbianlu saw Yubai that he came back to his senses.

"call……"

Exhaling a foul breath, the Taoist turned around and walked away.

After returning to the yard, I saw two cooks already busy in the kitchen.

At this time, Li Zhen just felt hungry.

Originally, he wanted to see what the two guys were cooking, but when he walked up and saw the pork cooking in the pot, he lost interest in "eating together".

With his eyesight, he could clearly see that there was still wool on the skin.

If you can't see or eat it, it's fine.

But I can see... Let him eat again, he really can't talk anymore.

However, there is a pot of fish that has been processed next to the pot. It is not big, the size of a palm, and the eyes are still clear, which is quite fresh.

Under the increasingly restrained hands of the two cooks, he directly took three fishes, took a small clay pot, scooped some porridge and rice boiled in another pot, and sat down on the soil next to the kitchen. Before the stove.

Fetch water and wash the fish.

Holding it with one hand, a piece of ginger turned into a slime, which he carefully smeared on every part of the fish.

At the same time, he also used a small knife to cut open the tail of the fish, picking out the fishy line...

There is no way, if you cook fish porridge, you have to handle it carefully so that it will not be fishy.

People in this era... the food is a bit rough after all.

He doesn't pay attention to the so-called appetite for food, and he doesn't have much desire for food, but it is the instinct of human beings to live in this world to eat comfortably.

Put the clay pot on fire and pour some rapeseed oil.

When the three fishes met the oil, a rush of fresh ginger and oil burst out immediately.

Fry on both sides, take out.

Without washing the pot, pour the porridge water into the crock pot and continue cooking.

Then, under the curious eyes of the two cooks, they used chopsticks and a small knife to pick out all the large and small thorns of the three fish, the fish meat was melted into mud, the fish bones and thorns were wrapped in clean gauze, and they were thrown into the porridge water to boil .

After finishing all this, the Taoist walked out of the yard.

But it's tea time, and I come back with a basket.

Inside are some juicy wild vegetables.

Horseshoe vegetables, pig hair vegetables, and even some unreasonable bitter chrysanthemums that grow in this spring.

Blanch, sprinkle with clear sauce and vinegar.

After stirring with chopsticks, he took out a small plate for himself, and left most of the rest for the two cooks.

Then he took the wooden bucket and poured water into the spare pot.

The Taoist priest, who had been busy for a while, sat in front of the clay pot again, stirring the porridge water that was getting thicker but exuding umami taste with a wooden spoon.

When the water in the pot started to smoke, the clay pot was removed from the fire and covered with a lid to keep it warm.

The hot water in the pot was divided into two, and the Taoist took out the two willow branches at the bottom of the basket.

Carefully peeled off the skin, the tenderest buds of the willow branches were repeatedly folded by him, and gradually became flocculent.

I asked the cook for some salt foam, and the cook who already knew that the Taoist priest might be related to the god that no one had ever seen before naturally didn't dare to stop him.

Watching him wash his face with a wooden basin, comb his hair, and clean his mouth with willow branches.

Holding the pot in one hand and the pottery bowl filled with salt foam and willow branches in the other, he came to the firewood door of the room that the chef thought had never been opened:
"Teacher, are you awake?"

The two guys didn't hear anyone responding, but the priest seemed to have received some guidance, opened the door, and walked in.

Inside the room, Xuan Suning looked at the wooden basin and pottery bowl brought by his disciples.

asked:

"Can it be recovered?"

"Ah."

Li Zhen nodded:
"Thank you teacher for the shoes."

There are no shops in the front of the village or in the back of this place. If you can have a pair of new shoes that are just the right size, even if they didn't buy them, they must have been bought by others after they ordered them.

This thank you, the basin of wash water and the jar of porridge outside are all thanks to him.

Hearing this, Xuan Suning, who specially rushed to Song County two days ago, nodded:

"It's okay, just do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, seeing her stand up, Li Zhen put the basin and pottery bowl aside:
"Teacher, let's wash up. I'll go prepare meals."

"Ah."

When the disciple went out, the female Taoist who walked to the water basin put her fingers into the wooden basin.

The water temperature is just right.

Neither hot nor cold.

warm.

Looking at the pottery bowl again, there is an extremely fine layer of salt noodles under the willow branches that have become flocks at the end.

Although it is not the fragrant salt noodles made of spice mint mixed with green salt, but for Xuan Su Ning, for some reason, there is a kind of... familiar comfort in his heart.

Wash your face and clean your mouth.

After the beauty who even brushed her teeth looked like a beautiful picture, the disciple had already arrived at the door with clay pots and wooden trays.

"come in."

Following her voice, when Li Zhen entered the door, her nose moved.

"Boiled... what?"

"Surimi porridge, and the wild vegetables I picked just now. I saw that the meals of the two cooks were a little greasy, and I was afraid that the teacher would not be used to them, so I made these simple meals on my own. The teacher should not be disgusted."

Hearing the disciple's explanation, Xuan Suning's mouth and nose were already filled with the sweet smell of fish and rice from the clay pot.

There are no tables.

Just on the bed.

They are still familiar with each other sitting opposite each other.

After taking the porridge bowl from her disciple, she sniffed it, but said nothing.

Instead, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the green wild vegetables that were still exuding with the chopsticks.

The sourness, saltiness, and aroma of clear sauce and vinegar are like a siege hammer when the wild vegetables are in the mouth.

Crisp and clear.

She couldn't help scooping up a spoonful of porridge that was mixed with milky white minced meat in the rice.

The porridge was sprinkled with... emerald green froth like wild onions and leek flowers. After mixing with the porridge and rice, a fresh, elegant but plump, but extremely comfortable taste came from the mouth Go straight to Tianling Parkway.

Subconsciously, she narrowed her eyes.

Belly, like a furnace.

shouting.

They need more!
More firewood!
So, drink again.

This time, I ate fish.

Even with the sensitive tongue of a cultivator, there is no fishy smell. This elegant umami taste is like adding fuel to the fire.

There was a sudden "goo" in her stomach.

"...?"

Li Zhen was taken aback.

Subconsciously looked at the opposite woman whose eyebrows and eyes were hidden in the mist of the porridge bowl...

Well, it must be an illusion.

The little fairy's stomach...how could it possibly growl?

I must have misheard.

Without thinking too much, he continued to eat the porridge with big mouthfuls.

And at this moment, a call sounded:
"Shou Chu."

"……what?"

Li Zhen raised his head in puzzlement, and looked at the woman opposite, for some reason, in the thin dew this morning, his eyes were especially bright.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

"I'm glad you're back."

"Uh……"

Under the astonishment of the Taoist, the woman narrowed her eyes, carefully enjoying the sweetness of this bowl of porridge and the refreshing taste of wild vegetables.

Ok.

really.

Much more comfortable.
