Delicious Delicacy of the Demon Spirit

"Dead of illness?" Li Kuer concluded that it was a lie.

Boss Dong dodged his eyes and didn't answer.

He Weiran shook his head, led Li Kuer back to the courtyard, sat down, and said to Boss Dong with a regretful face: "Amitabha, why does the benefactor lie in front of the old monk?"

Boss Dong was astonished, and asked the monk opposite, "How did Master know?"

He Weiran stroked his beard, and said: "The old man saw guilt, expectation, and anxiety on the face of the benefactor. Dare to ask the benefactor, where does this guilt come from, where does this expectation come from, and where does this anxiety come from? Come?"

"Hey..." Boss Dong sighed, walked out of the hut, sat weakly on the ground and said, "I feel guilty for killing the cows. After all, they have worked half their life for my family. But killing the cows will give me a child, so I can't bear to look forward to it. However, this method is absurd to everyone, and I feel uneasy, I am afraid it will be an empty joy."

"If you kill your cow, you will have a child. How do you explain this?" He Weiran asked.

"To tell the truth, master, my wife and I have been married for ten years, but we suffer from childlessness. Some time ago, someone introduced that there was a very good Zhang Banxian in the town, and asked us to visit. Zhang Banxian touched our palm and said I am destined to have no heirs, if I want to change my fate, I have to do a strange method."

"Zhang Banxian..." He Weiran squinted his dim eyes, and said thoughtfully, "His magical method is...?"

Boss Dong didn't hide anything, and said: "He said that he would hold a religious ceremony at his house, and sacrifice a mother and a child with two cows. They must be killed alive. The cow's head is attached to the skin. During the sacrifice, the cow's head faces west, and the cow's head faces east. , put a plate of heart, liver, lung and stomach, two plates of front hoof meat, and two plates of hind leg meat under the cowhide, light candles and light incense, and then let my lady chant scriptures and pray alone in front of the altar for twelve hours a day and a night. When it's over, I'll take it home..." He was embarrassed and paused for a moment before continuing: "You can have sex at night..."

Li Ku'er remembered Zhang Banxian, the blind Taoist who tried to deceive pigs and chickens, but did not pull Akui away in the end.Now it seems that he came to Boss Dong's house to cheat cattle, it's really abominable.

He Weiran looked at Boss Dong with a solemn expression, and said, "Does the benefactor know why he was destined to be childless?"

Boss Dong was stunned: "This... Zhang Banxian never mentioned it."

"It's just because the butchers of the Dong family have committed too many crimes. In the generation of the benefactor, they have no sons and no daughters. It is karma. But it is true that fate is not something that cannot be changed. Only by doing good deeds and atoning for sins is a good law. Now the benefactor has killed the cow and the cow alive, and the crime has not diminished, but how can God give the benefactor a child?"

Boss Dong turned pale with shock, and said in disbelief, "That Zhang Banxian's strange method..."

"I'm afraid it's just heresy. If you believe him and send the benefactor to her house for a day and a night, you will definitely kill the benefactor." He Weiran spoke in a cryptic manner, but did not reveal what kind of harm he did.

When Boss Dong heard this, he had some vague guesses.He slapped his thigh in pain, and said, "Hey, I'm so confused. I listened to the blind Taoist priest. Now that the cattle are all killed, how can I be better? Hey, even though I'm a butcher, my hands are covered with the blood of livestock. But my old cow has always been grateful for its hard work, and never thought of killing it before it was alive. Now I not only killed it, but also killed its cubs. I think they are here to remember my injustice people."

He Weiran looked at the stick in his hand and asked, "Has the benefactor repented?"

Boss Dong covered his face: "I regret... how can I not regret it!"

"That being the case, if you do more good deeds in the future and take good care of the cow, maybe you will be forgiven by the cow's mother, and it will not be long before you have an offspring."

"Niuzi?" Boss Dong didn't understand: "Master also saw it just now, and Niuzi has been killed by me."

"The benefactor just needs to remember, don't kill any more cows, otherwise, you will never have your own children." He Weiran stood up, stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "This is all the old monk said, I hope the benefactor can do it for himself .”

Although Boss Dong was still in the fog, he still responded quickly, put his hands together, closed his eyes, and repeated the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, Amitabha, remember it when you make a decision, and never forget it in your life." When I looked up, the two monks, one old and one young, had disappeared.

"Bitter, wake up."

Li Ku'er was fast asleep when suddenly He Weiran's voice came to his ears, it was no longer the old monk.Shocked, she opened her eyes suddenly and found that she was in Boss Dong's house again.But this time, Boss Dong and his wife were lying on the bed safely.

"Sister He..." She rubbed her eyes, looked at He Weiran in the form of a woman in front of her, and said, "I dreamed that we became monks."

He Weiran laughed, scratched her nose and said, "Why, did you get sleepy or did you lose your memory? You don't even remember what we did before?"

Li Kuer frowned and thought for a while before finally remembering that he had promised to go to Boss Dong's dream earlier.

"Come out now?" Li Kuer blinked and asked.

He Weiran nodded: "But the matter is not finished yet."

"What else to do?"

"It's time for us to ask the cow mother what she means?" He Weiran said, shaking the whisk on his hand.Almost instantly, the cow cow appeared in front of the two of them, in the shape of a farming ox, almost a transparent phantom, Li Kuer couldn't see it clearly.

"How? Can you go to reincarnation with peace of mind?" He Weiran asked.

Niu Niu paced back and forth on the spot, spitting out, "Will Butcher Dong take that dream seriously?"

He Weiran nodded, spread out his palms, and transformed into the Buddhist beads that the old monk was twisting before, put them on Butcher Dong's hands, and then said to Niu Niu: "In this way, he must have no reason not to believe."

The cow mother let out a long moo, and said: "In this way, I can rest assured. I hope the girl will be distracted from my child's affairs in the future."

"it is good."

Seeing that Niu Mu agreed with He Weiran, the crux in her heart was finally released, and her figure gradually dissipated until she could no longer be seen.Li Kuer closed her eyes vigorously, then opened them again, but she couldn't see her figure, and asked He Weiran: "Has the cow mother left? Has she gone to reincarnate?"

He Weiran looked out of the window, and the little calf was standing alone in the cowshed, raising his head and calling out mournfully...

The two fed Boss Dong and his wife well water, and left before they woke up.As soon as he turned the corner, the whisk in He Weiran's hand gradually became limp, turning into a thick oxtail.

Li Ku'er was quite surprised, poked the ox's tail, flicked it back and forth, and felt flustered in his heart.

He Weiran rolled up the oxtail, picked a canna leaf on the side of the road to wrap it up, and said to Li Kuer, "This time, the oxtail is really gone."

Li Kuer scratched his neck and asked, "Then what are you going to do, why are you wrapping this tail up?"

He Weiran answered it as a matter of course: "Take it home to cook. Don't go home tonight, I'll make you oxtail casserole for supper, okay?"

Hearing this, Li Kuer's heart trembled even more, and he shook his hand and said: "I think it's better to forget it, after all, it's the body of a cow cow. I'm afraid that if I eat this, she will come back to take revenge on me." .”

"How can you think so badly?" He Weiran covered his mouth and said happily: "What a coward. The cow cow has left and will not come back. A skin has no meaning to her, besides, To put it bluntly, it's just a tail."

"That's it..." Li Kuer hesitated, but still nodded: "Then let's eat it today, it would be a pity to throw it away."

In Prince Qiao's mansion, the prince, princess and others all woke up. When they woke up, they said they were hungry and wanted to eat.As soon as He Weiran returned home, he was dragged to the back kitchen by the housekeeper, urging him to get a few dishes quickly, waiting to be eaten, it's been quite a while.

He Weiran was busy cooking dishes, and Li Kuer also helped out, busy around.

"Housekeeper, why don't you ask others to do it first?" Li Kuer asked.

"What other people do is not to the prince's liking. Hey, since Miss He came, the prince's mouth has become more and more tricky. By the way, that Zhang Ma, I have already resigned her. This time the matter is not the same as She can't get rid of her relationship, and I heard people say that she went to Miss He's place to make a big fuss last night, and it would be a disaster for such a disobedient person to stay in the mansion." The housekeeper said angrily.

He Weiran smiled indifferently, seemingly open-minded, but did not plead for Mama Zhang.Only she knows about the stumbling blocks that Mama Zhang makes on a daily basis, which is really annoying.

In the dead of night, He Weiran and Li Kuer were cooking supper in the back kitchen.

Cut the oxtail into sections, put it into boiling water and cook for a short while, take out the blood foam, take it out and rinse it with clean water, marinate it with cooking wine, green onions, and sliced ​​ginger, dip it in flour, fry it in a pan on high heat until the surface is browned and fragrant, add rock sugar and granulated sugar Add water to the oil pan and fry the sugar color.Stir-fry onion, ginger, celery and other auxiliary materials, then add a small amount of pepper, pepper, star anise, grass fruit, fragrant leaves, cinnamon, cumin, fry until fragrant, pour in oxtail, add three spoons of oyster sauce, three spoons of salt, three spoons of soy sauce , stir well, then transfer to a casserole, add water to boil, stir from time to time, until the soup thickens and serve.

The oxtail meat was out of the pot, and the aroma was pervasive. Li Kuer had to admit that although the cow mother was very poor, the beef was really delicious.She gnawed on the strong-flavored oxtail meat, feeling guilty, and asked He Weiran: "Sister He, the cow mother must be a human being."

He Weiran saw that her face was full of soup, took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, said: "Maybe she has become a human being, or maybe she has entered the animal realm again, I don't know."

"Hey, it's so pitiful if we enter the animal realm, and we still have to be eaten. Sister He, let's be vegetarian in the future, or we will commit crimes again." Li Kuer said, taking another bite of oxtail meat, it was really crispy Rotten delicious.

"That's not what I said. Entering the animal realm doesn't necessarily mean being eaten by humans. Maybe it's wandering in the wild, suffering from cold, heat, hunger, thirst, being hunted and eating each other for a long time; Or they are kept by people, and they suffer from labor, whipping, slaughter, and skinning. All these kinds of suffering are just because their past life’s sins have to be paid for in this life. Every time they suffer, they have paid off a previous debt, so Said..." He Weiran picked up a piece of oxtail meat and said, "We have helped the cow to pay off the debt by eating this meat."

"It turned out to be like this. Eating meat is still a good thing." Li Kuer blinked stupidly, always feeling that He Weiran's words were somewhat sophistry...

The author has something to say: The oxtail is finally ready, I am sorry to you, it is more...

But in fact, last week I wrote a 1.1W-word article, stuffed into the supernatural collection mentioned in the last chapter.I wrote Sister Chef into it very badly, it can be regarded as He Weiran's side story, and everyone can see it next month~
