Cultivation Of Immortals Begins With A Funeral Scripture

Everyone was sipping rum, chatting and laughing, so it was lively. After resting for about half an hour, they rowed home one after another. Tieta Village is hundreds of miles away from the county town. The boat has to be loaded and set off at three or four in the morning. It is estimated that they have to get up at two, so they have to go to bed early at night. .

Ye Congwen returned home, lit a fire to cook, and cut vegetables—there was no need to cut vegetables, since they were boiled anyway. Two or three catties of fresh meat could be cut into four or five pieces, covered with a lid and boiled over high heat.

Having nothing to do, he took out the funeral scripture to pass the time, and was so engrossed in reading it that he didn't even realize it was dark.

"Hey! It's dark and you don't even light the lights, what are you doing?"

Suddenly a person popped up in front of his eyes, startling Ye Congwen. He looked up and saw that it was wooden bean sprouts, holding a bowl of steaming beef offal in both hands. The fragrance filled the room, making Ye Congwen gobble up rattle.

"There is no sound at all when I walk, and I don't know how to knock on the door!"

Ye Congwen burrowed into the book wholeheartedly, as if the book was constantly exuding a cold atmosphere, like being in a cold thousand-year-old tomb.

"I called you several times and there was no response. I thought you were asleep?"

Dal is in a particularly good mood today, so he turned a blind eye to Ye Congwen's unfriendly attitude. As usual, he would not be so easy to talk to.

Putting the bowl on the table, he grabbed the book with a smile on his face, and said casually:

"So diligent, I don't even know when it's dark, don't lose my soul by reading a book.

If I didn't know that you have limited ink in your belly, I'd be really afraid that you would want to become the number one scholar to climb the high branch of the princess? "

Ye Congwen knew that this girl didn't say a word to herself all day, as if she couldn't sleep at night. I really wanted to refute a few words, but suddenly saw the steaming bowl of beef offal, and asked angrily:

"Even if you get the first prize, you don't necessarily have something to do with the princess, right?"

"Now you are ignorant, have you ever heard the allusion of 'catching a son-in-law under the list'?

Wealthy businessmen and rich merchants are listed on the list to arrest candidates, and princes and nobles are listed to catch Jinshi. As for the unique person like the number one scholar, he must be favored by the emperor and his father. In all likelihood, he will give a princess to be a concubine, and the poor boy will be given to the princess. What is the name of being a door-to-door son-in-law if it is not called Pan Gaozhi? "

"You know quite a lot. If you don't take the exam for the number one scholar, it's really a loss for the Great Xia Dynasty."

Ye Congwen hurried to the table to eat, and said a few words of flattery.

"Funeral scriptures!" Seeing the title of the book, Mu Bean Sprout was so frightened that he threw the book on the ground and complained non-stop:

"Brother Congwen, what the hell are you doing? You study the Book of the Dead alone in the middle of the night, beware of attracting lonely souls and wild ghosts in the middle of the night!"

"It's not so mysterious, is it? No wonder I felt eerie just now."

"what---"

Wood bean sprouts screamed in fright, and hurried to the side to light the lamp. In fact, the sky is not completely dark, and the red light refracted by the sunset glow on the horizon can be seen faintly, but it shines in the room through the black windows, giving it such a bleak atmosphere.

"Just kidding, it's just a book. Look, it scares you. It was pitch black last night. I didn't see you so scared!"

Seeing that the wooden bean sprouts were hiding behind her, Ye Congwen couldn't help but said with a smile.

"This can be a joke! If you tease me like this again, I won't make tripe for you!" Wooden Bean Sprout complained dissatisfied.

"Where are you going?" Wooden Sprout saw Ye Congwen get up to go inside, immediately grabbed Ye Congwen's arm and asked anxiously.

"You bring such delicious food here, of course I'm going to serve a bowl of rice, why are you catching me?"

Wood Bean Sprout smiled sheepishly, saw Ye Congwen walking towards the kitchen, glanced at the book thrown on the floor, and quickly followed.

"Did you even cook meat? This cooking skill is too bad, at least put some seasoning on it, how can you serve it with clear soup with little taste!"

The wooden bean sprouts couldn't help complaining when they saw that there were still a few pieces of meat steaming in the pot.

"Let's save the meat for tomorrow, and tomorrow morning I will go to the county to sell goods, so I can have it for breakfast.

By the way, why did you think of cooking for me today? It looks like it’s steaming hot, it looks like it’s just been made, and it’s so late to eat. What are you doing all day long? "

Wooden Bean Sprouts grinned when he heard that, and patted his chest with a grin to promise:

"In the future, as long as you want to eat, I will make it for you every day!"

"Then respect is worse than obedience! Did they carry the tripe viscera for you?" Ye Congwen guessed that the old patriarch gave the order.

"Huabulihuabuqi, the two sisters brought me more than 20 catties of bison meat and a whole cow offal. Our family was so busy that we didn't clean it up just now. No, I'll send it to you as soon as I'm done. It's very nice. fresh!

They also said that in the future, as long as the prey killed on the mountain can be handled, the internal organs will be brought back to me, and we will not worry about not being able to eat tripe in the future! "

Wood bean sprouts chattered non-stop behind Ye Congwen, feeling very happy. Seeing Ye Congwen sitting at the table eating, he took the initiative to run to the corner to drink a bowl of rum, put it on the table respectfully, sat opposite him with a smile on his face and said:

"The two sisters who never left and never left invited me to teach them how to make stewed beef tomorrow, but my mother was so happy that she kept praising me for my ability. I haven't seen her so happy for many years.

But I know that you helped me persuade them behind my back, otherwise they wouldn't talk to me.

How do you make sense of them? "

"It's useless for anyone to speak up if the food isn't delicious!

I really want to thank you for showing everyone your culinary skills at the bottom of the box. After you have finished their stomachs, you will naturally not have to worry about them not bringing you tripe. "

"It goes without saying that I will definitely do my best. Brother Cong Wen, will you come over to help me tomorrow?"

Wood Bean Sprout seemed a little uneasy, suddenly a little nervous, after all, the giants of Huaye and Leaf tribes always looked down on him, if Ye Congwen was by his side, these giants would more or less restrain themselves.

"I'm afraid I can't come. I will go to the county town to sell goods at two o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't be afraid, they won't eat you. What are you worried about?"

"Oh……"

"Let me give you an idea. These rough people are always afraid of trouble. After you finish the demonstration tomorrow, if they look embarrassed, you can just tell them:

In the future, I will cook a pot of stewed soup for each of your households, just throw the blanched meat into it and cook.

Just teach them the simplest and most effective method, and ensure that they will look at you with admiration in the future! "

"That's a good idea! The brine needs to be spiced every once in a while, and they won't be able to learn it for a while, so why not let me do it for you and save their time.

But I don’t have so many stewed ingredients on hand, each family needs at least 70 or 80 stewed ingredients..."

Seeing Mudou Sprout's worried face, frowning tightly, as if taking a life test, Ye Congwen was also deeply moved. It seemed that this girl really wanted to have a good relationship with the giants.

"Don't you still have me? Just do it, teach me about the marinade, and bring it back with you when you go to the county tomorrow.

Write me down what marinade you need to buy now, anyway, I will buy a lot of things tomorrow, and I will buy them together when the time comes. "

Hearing this, Mudou Sprout immediately became happy, took the pen and paper, and happily drew on a sheet of paper. After checking it back and forth two or three times, he solemnly handed it over to Ye Congwen. do not forget!

The two then talked about some trivial matters in daily life. After Ye Congwen finished eating, Dalbean rushed to wash the dishes and did a household hygiene.

Thinking that Ye Congwen would have to get up early tomorrow, Wood Bean Sprout had to tell her repeatedly before going home.

"Twittering sounds annoying, but once I leave, I feel lonely, boring and empty, and a bit cold! Could it be that the old patriarch's eyes are so sharp that he has seen through me long ago?"

Ye Congwen remembered that Ye Wudi asked himself if he was a little lonely, empty and cold in the morning. At that time, he thought that the old patriarch was old and stupid and talking nonsense!

"The old patriarch can not only look at Feng Shui, but also people! You have to learn from him in the future!"

After talking to himself for a long time, he picked up the funeral scripture, placed it respectfully on the recliner, bowed twice, then turned around and went to take a bath.

……………

As soon as Dongfang showed his fish belly, Ye Congwen had already arrived in the county. This time, three large ships were used to carry nearly a hundred live prey, which shows the abundance of hunting in the past two days.

They were all live poultry and animals, and it was convenient to deal with them. They were all sold at a one-buy price, and no change was needed. The three boats of prey were sold out in less than two hours.

Ye Congwen stood by the boat to collect the money, and every time a head or a group of prey was brought out, a settlement was made. After checking the quantity and authenticity, he signaled the tribe to carry the prey to the shore.

Every late autumn, the shrewd businessmen in Wanquan County know that it is the peak hunting season, and they have sent people to wait at the pier long ago. Tieta Village is also a leader among the hunting tribes, both in terms of completeness of varieties and large output are second to none.

Naturally, it is the target of hunting by many merchants, but in order to maintain a good relationship, Tieta Village will follow the ancient rules, first let small traders select half of the prey at a slightly higher price, and sell the rest to powerful big merchants. Naturally, the price is much more favorable.

When the prey is sold out, a few people are left to clean up, and the rest of the people all go to the market to purchase life necessities such as grain, oil, cloth, salt, etc., and they are busy until it is close to noon before they get all the life supplies. Ye Congwen sneaked to the manor area behind the street on the pretext of buying marinade for the wooden bean sprouts.

The county seat was formed by the long-term alluvial of the river, basically all flat land, occasionally there are some low hills, which were bought by dignitaries and nobles to build independent small courtyards.

Due to the scarcity, the price is ridiculously expensive. The starting price of an independent small courtyard with an area of ​​less than one mu is at least two hundred gold coins, which is equivalent to the entire income of Tieta Village for a year.

Therefore, the people who can live here are either rich or noble. Ye Congwen wanted to inquire about Mo's family, so as long as he followed this street one by one, he would find the real owner sooner or later.

The area where rich people are concentrated is naturally prosperous in commerce. Every other section of the road, restaurants, inns, brothels and casinos can be seen everywhere on both sides, and there are many small stalls and hawkers.

Ye Congwen specially cut his hair, the shoulder-length hair was cut short, and he put a hideous pigskin mask on his face. He was really afraid that Mo Fatty would recognize him. If he asked someone to block him, he would also If you beat yourself up, you'd be too stupid!
