[Journey to the West] Wukong purchasing

Luosang Town looks small, but because it happens to be at the intersection of several roads, it is much more prosperous than ordinary market towns. It is a typical immigrant town, and there are many people of different nationalities living in the town. It was the busiest time of the day, and the streets were full of hawkers, especially the early morning stalls on the street, who were counting on making money at this time in the morning.

Zhu Bajie looked at all kinds of delicious food on the street, and he didn't know what to eat. It was because Wu Hong had experience, so he asked a local person on the side of the road to ask.The local uncle probably also heard about these local tyrants from the Tang Dynasty, seeing that they wanted to eat the meals eaten by the local commoners, he was inexplicably proud, and recommended several local famous people to them one after another. stalls.

It was only then that Wu Hong and the others knew that the local people used to eat two meals a day. They got up late, but it happened to be in time for the first meal in the town. No wonder, he said, why is there so many breakfasts in such a small town? The stall, it turns out that what they sell is not breakfast at all, but brunch.

Taking care of Elder Tang's fragile mortal stomach, Wu Hong and the others decided to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup first. It's worthless, one silver coin is enough for a few of them to eat from the street to the end of the street.

The noodle soup stall was not big, with only three tables in total. It was already full, and Wu Hong and the others didn't mind. On the contrary, the shopkeeper didn't dare to let them wait for a long time because he saw them all in good looks. After discussing it, I borrowed a table temporarily, which happened to be for each of the four masters and apprentices.

The noodle soup is very simple. First stew the mutton soup with a large piece of mutton, then fish out the mutton and cut it into thin slices. The oasis picked from the oasis is boiled, and the cut noodles are cooked. Put in sliced ​​mutton, green onions, and several other condiments that Wu Hong couldn't recognize, and finally pour in two tablespoons of hot mutton soup, and a bowl of hot mutton noodle soup is ready.

The stall owner is also a real person. A bowl of noodle soup is as big as a human's head. The three of them are fine, but Elder Tang couldn't eat half of it.

At this time, Wu Hao felt that being a monster is really good!Just such a big bowl of noodles, he could only eat one-third of it before, but now, after eating one bowl, he still wants to have another bowl!

Zhu Bajie was much more straightforward than him. Seeing that Tang Xuanzang couldn't eat anymore, he simply offered to share his master's worries, and brought him the leftover bowl in front of him. Xili Hulu ate it all, and even drank up the noodle soup. .

Looking at the empty noodle bowl, Wu Hao slammed his mouth and asked the boss to cut two catties of mutton for him alone, and was going to take it home to eat white-cut mutton. A jug of wine is simply perfect!

Zhu Bajie looked at him eagerly, regretting why he had always been at odds with the senior brother, and often said bad things about him in front of the master. Now he finally tasted the bitter fruit of being cheap: after coming to Luosang Town, the senior brother gave the master and Sha The younger brother and even the white dragon horse shared some gold and silver coins as pocket money, but he didn't have a single coin.Now even the master doesn't speak for him, he must be bewitched by this monstrous monkey!

However, the feeling of having no money is really uncomfortable!Zhu Bajie wanted to find a landlord to blackmail him like he did when he was in Gaolaozhuang, but he knew that it was not the same as before. If he really dared to do this, Tang Xuanzang would be the first to spare him, even Monkey King. He can be restrained by the magic spell, he doesn't want to wear a headband on his head.

"Idiot! Why don't you come here to carry something?" Seeing that the stall owner had packed the mutton, Wu Hong raised his chin and signaled Zhu Bajie to help carry it. He doesn't support idlers, so he has to work for him after eating his food.

Zhu Bajie secretly glanced at Elder Tang aggrievedly, and found that the master had no intention of standing up for him at all, so he had to go over aggrieved and brought up the chopped mutton.

However, the guy soon became happy again.

Because Wu Hao told him that as long as he can carry it, he will buy a portion of all the delicious food from all the stalls in this town, and bring him to eat with him when the time comes.

Without saying a word, Zhu Bajie ran to the side to buy a pair of burdens and two rattan baskets with his private money, happily snatched the work of Junior Brother Sha's burdens, and followed Wu Kong, especially actively helping Grab a variety of packaged meals.

However, the cooking techniques in this time and space are relatively simple and primitive after all. No matter how prosperous the town is, there are only a few types of brunch. There are kinds of pancakes, such as flat pancakes that are durable and similar to naan, meat pancakes wrapped with mutton inside, and palm-sized pancakes that are fried in mutton oil. They look greasy, but taste crisp and fragrant. Wu Kong After eating a few at a stretch, he took out a shiny silver coin and told the stall owner not to entertain other guests today, but to bake him a thousand of these mutton scones first, and he wanted to take them away!

The stall owner and Zhu Bajie were stunned at the same time.

The stall owner has never met a big customer who wants to pack a thousand scones at a time, and Zhu Bajie is seriously considering whether to change into his original shape, otherwise, how will he carry the thousand scones back?

Zhu Bajie did not turn into its original shape in the end, mainly because the stall owner said that it would take too long to bake a thousand pancakes, and he wanted to call a few more people to help when he got home, and promised to deliver the pancakes to Wu Kong and the others after they were ready. They all recognize the biggest house in the town.

This unexpectedly inspired Wu Kong and the others. Next, for all bulk purchases, they paid people to send them directly to other courtyards. Anyway, there is Qingniujing, the Zhenshan Taisui, and they are not afraid of these people being ignorant. and give nothing for their silver.

Qingniu Jing almost couldn't wait to lead the little demons under his hands to search as much as possible for the rare birds and animals, exotic flowers and plants that he thought were rare in his own territory. The magic weapon is so powerful, I snatched it from other places, and I thought I would bring it with me at that time. In case Laojun gets angry when he goes back, he will take out these things and offer them to Laojun. Taishang Laojun has always liked these and can make pills The rare medicinal material of the medicine, maybe if he is happy, he won't be punished?

Now I can't control so much, I can only give Monkey King part of it first, and send the plague god away.

Wu Hong didn't expect that this fellow would bring all the things together so quickly, and it seemed that there were quite a lot of things, so he was a little speechless for a while, and reflected a little guilty: Could it be that he has gone too far?Seeing that Brother Niu was so scared, I guess I haven't slept well these days, so I'm just trying to collect the extortion money for them?

Qingniu Jing saw them, mainly Sun Wukong, who really stayed in his other courtyard and never slipped away to inform them. He didn't feel tired after running around for days, so he asked him to check the things he found with a smile. Not what he wanted.

Wu Hao wasn't polite to him either, and this Qingniujing obviously knew Sun Wukong before, if he was too humble and polite, it might make this guy suspicious.Therefore, Wu Kong asked Qing Niu Jing's subordinates to open the cages one by one to pick things out one by one, and asked what this was and what was so rare about it. Tang Xuanzang couldn't help but start to sympathize with the dignified unicorn king, who acted like a street vendor explaining to picky customers (Boss Wu) one by one.

Sha Wujing also couldn't bear to look directly at it, it was the Taishang Laojun's mount!An existence that can walk sideways in the heavenly court, but was taken advantage of by this monkey, and had to swallow his humiliation to accept the blackmail from Monkey King.

After some pretentious selection, Boss Wu said that although these things still did not meet his requirements, who made everyone acquainted?The main reason is that he doesn't have any money to give the green cow essence, so he should borrow the rights, and when these rare birds and animals give birth to cubs, he will return some of them.

"Where is that, the Great Sage is really polite, some small things, the right is that my brother gave you to play, why don't you borrow it?" Qingniujing just wants to let this monkey take advantage of it, shut up + get out .

Zhu Bajie is very reluctant to leave. In the winter, trekking in the wilderness, where is it comfortable to live in this other courtyard?Two meals a day and two snacks are prepared by the waiters and brought up. The high bed warms the pillow. If it weren't for this Qingniujing who is single, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but want to ask him if he has a daughter. Those who don't mind marrying in as a son-in-law...

However, Tang Xuanzang was indeed about to leave. He wanted to find a place to settle down quickly, avoiding the eyes and ears of the Qingniu Jing, and then together with Wu Kong, put these treasures in his magical warehouse, and then through Wu Kong's hands, take them away. For those in power, as long as he thought that Wukong might be suffering in a place he could not see, Tang Xuanzang would not wait for a second.

It just so happened that Wu Hong thought so too.As the saying goes, there are people in the yamen who are easy to handle. Even if you can't find his parents, it would be great if you can help Elder Tang find Monkey King. At the very least, even if he and Monkey King can't return to each other for some reason, but you can't be here by yourself. If you eat hot food and drink hot food, let the Great Sage pick up trash in the Star Alliance, right?

The group packed up properly, only Sha Wujing carried a load when they came, but Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing each pushed a cart when they left.

"My dear brother, go all the way!" Seeing that the monkey was finally willing to leave, Qing Niu Jing couldn't wait to send Tang Monk and his disciples away with tears in their eyes.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm going to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. If I come back, I have to ask my brother to escort us. If you don't tell me, I won't tell you, who dares to talk too much?" A reassurance.

"Brother is really loyal!" Qingniu Jing patted Wu Cong's shoulder excitedly, thinking that this Poor Monkey is not as heinous as the gods of heaven said, at least he keeps his word, and will give you what he takes In handling affairs, unlike some gods in the heaven, who enjoy the incense of the mortal world, but sit on a vegetarian diet and do not help people to eliminate disasters at all, such as the Dragon King of the Four Seas, or Yuelao...

As for the possibility of being a bodyguard for Tang Seng and his disciples after returning from the scriptures?Wu Hao made this seemingly rude request, but Qing Niu Jing was greatly relieved: it is good to ask him, and if he asks him to do something, naturally he will not betray him in front of Laojun.

Qing Niu Jing personally sent Tang Monk and his disciples out of his territory very enthusiastically.

And Tang Xuanzang and Wu Kuan also took the opportunity to send Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing away on the night when Qing Niu Jing left. They packaged and sent out those things.

"I don't know if those people will take care of finding someone for us after collecting the things." Tang Xuanzang sighed as he wiped the sweat from his brow after packing the presents was very tiring.

"It's better than nothing." Wu Hong said with a smile.Even after leaving the earth, the Chinese people's sophistication and sophistication have been handed down firmly. If you don't give it away, you can only resign yourself to fate. If you give it away, there are so many people, there will always be a few who can help out a little within their ability, right?You know, a word from those people is sometimes more useful than their broken legs.

"By the way, I remember that further ahead is the Daughter Kingdom. This... why don't we take a detour?" Tang Xuanzang's face turned blue when he thought of the tender Daughter Kingdom king.

Hearing Elder Tang mentioned Daughter's Country, Wu Hao suddenly became energetic.

You can have this!He remembered that when he watched the ancient Earth documentaries, he felt that the king of the Daughter Kingdom was beautiful. The actor was like the peerless beauty who came out of the ancient earth's ladies. He was not ordinary beautiful, but graceful and luxurious. That kind of beauty, unique temperament!

I don't know what the real king of the daughter country looks like.

"Don't be fooled by those TV dramas, that queen is by no means easy to get along with!" Tang Xuanzang snorted coldly.Of course he has watched the TV series Journey to the West. To be precise, his soul lived in the modern human society during those years. He has watched almost all TV series, movies, and comics related to Journey to the West. Anyway, he doesn’t need a ghost. After buying a ticket, I looked around and found that no one was reliable, and they were basically talking nonsense. Elder Tang was quite dissatisfied with this.

However, his temper has always been like this. Even if he is dissatisfied, he will not speak ill of others behind others, especially if the other party is a lady who looks like his own mother... His own mother is absolutely impossible to be as unscrupulous as the king of the daughter country.

Thinking of his biological mother, Tang Xuanzang unconsciously had a look of resentment on his face: In his previous life, he managed to rescue his mother from the thief, and his father was also able to come back to life. It should have been a happy event for a family reunion, but he did not expect his mother to be ashamed and angry at the end. Yu was once occupied by thieves, lost his integrity, and chose to commit suicide.

Therefore, when he suddenly met the king of the Daughter Kingdom who looked very similar to his mother on the way to learn the scriptures, Tang Xuanzang had to admit that he was a little dazed at that moment. Buddhists believe that people have past and present lives. It must have been reincarnated in the country of daughters after death. After all, his mother was so gentle and kind during her lifetime. After death, she should be reborn in a wealthy family to enjoy the blessings. Therefore, Tang Xuanzang was reluctant to refuse the gentleness of the king of the country of daughters, or At that time, for the first time, he became greedy, and took the tenderness of the king of his daughter country as the maternal love that he had regretted losing...

Of course, Elder Tang would never tell Wu Hong about this matter, not to mention Boss Wu, even Wukong didn't know his careful thinking.

However, what he never expected was that, just because he walked this way, he would not lie to other female monsters, but he couldn't bear to refuse the king's closeness to the daughter country, so that the people of later generations even flirted. He and the king of the Daughter Kingdom have a mutual relationship... It's just nonsense!

How could he have such nasty thoughts about his biological mother?

However, he couldn't tell Boss Wu these words clearly, he could only express with a straight face that he was not interested in Daughter's Country, and hoped that Boss Wu could make a detour with him.

"A detour is probably not possible. Oh, Elder Tang, don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't agree. Even if I agree to this matter, I can't do it. Think about it, since the Bodhisattva's golden words have set you ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, you can bypass it. The Daughter Kingdom has suddenly lost a problem, who knows what kind of monsters the old man will make up for you later? As the saying goes, the king of the Daughter Kingdom is your old acquaintance, isn't he?"

Hearing the words "old acquaintance", Elder Tang's face was almost distorted, and it was difficult for him. With such a face that turned all sentient beings upside down, he could even do difficult movements such as "distorting complexion". No wonder those female monsters want to sleep with him...cough!

Fortunately, Elder Tang doesn't know how to read minds, otherwise, if he heard Boss Wu arrange him like this, he would be so angry that he would chant the curse.

However, what Boss Wu said makes sense. Guanyin Bodhisattva always cares about face the most. Since she said that he would go through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships, it must be one less hardship. Knowing what powerful monsters will appear, thinking about it this way, although the king of the Daughter Kingdom has evil intentions, it is indeed much easier to deal with than those real monsters.

"Actually, it's not a waste of time. Remember, there is a river in the Xiliang Women's Kingdom called the Zimu River. The spring water in the river is very strange. If ordinary people drink it, no matter men or women, they can conceive and give birth in three days. They are all daughters..." Tang Xuanzang mused.

Ever since he was brainwashed by Boss Wu, Elder Tang has also completely got into the eyes of money. What kind of daughter is the king of the country?In his eyes, it is not as valuable as the spring water of the Zimu River.

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that?" Boss Wu jumped up excitedly, "To treat infertility, come to Xiliang Women's Kingdom! No surgery, no pregnancy in October, and three-day confinement! Elder Tang, we really Get rich hahaha!"

"More than that, you don't know that the king of the Xiliang female country has long been willing to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, but she has no way out. She has never met me in her previous life, but she just heard that I am the younger brother of the Tang king, so she wants to recruit me as her son-in-law. Inviting envoys from the Tang Dynasty to come to watch the ceremony, it is obvious that we are going to be married to the Tang Dynasty." Tang Xuanzang snorted coldly.

As the queen of a country, she sacrificed her marriage for the sake of the country's children. From this point of view, Tang Xuanzang actually admired the queen, but she had a face exactly like his mother's, but she kept saying that she wanted to be "yin and yang" with him. Cooperate, have children and grandchildren, and pass on the emperor's legacy forever", it really made Elder Tang extremely embarrassed.

Moreover, I don't know if it is the filter effect of the biological mother. In Tang Xuanzang's eyes, the biological mother Yin Wenjiao is a nearly perfect woman, gentle as water, but also firm and strong. After falling into the hands of thieves, she was obviously humiliated, but for the child Bearing the burden of humiliation, this made him unacceptable anyway. The king of the daughter country used his mother's face to calculate himself.

"The establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries doesn't necessarily require a marriage, does it?" Wu Kong said awkwardly, asking Elder Tang to sacrifice his appearance to obtain water from his son and mother river for him. Although he really thought about it, Boss Wu has a moral bottom line after all. Too verbal.

"The king is a daughter, so it's impossible to marry a princess. Is it possible to marry a prince?" Tang Xuanzang said angrily.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty was not only a country in the east, but also a well-known powerful country in the countries of the Western Regions. The marriage partner is only Tang Wang's righteous brother, which is enough for the Xiliang women's country to stand up straight in the Western Regions.

"Then... why don't you marry Zhu Bajie? Anyway, he's been thinking about finding a local tyrant to marry him all day long." Wu Hong pouted.

Tang Xuanzang's eyes lit up, and then he sighed and shook his head, let's not say whether the queen can't see Zhu Bajie, just like Zhu Bajie, Tang Xuanzang still thinks he is not worthy of the queen. With a scheming heart, that is also a person who looks exactly like his mother and is very likely to be his mother's reincarnation. Thinking about Tang Xuanzang feeling unbearable to assign a lazy person like Zhu Bajie to his own mother's reincarnation.

"Yes! Since Tang Wang can recognize Elder Tang as his righteous brother, why not ask him to recognize you as a righteous sister? The Queen is also willing to marry Tang Wang's righteous brother. How can I be safe and secure as Tang Wang's righteous sister?" Wu Kong Continue to give advice.Anyway, as long as Elder Tang agrees to take a trip to Xiliang Women's Country, the solution is all thought of by people~

This is a new idea!Tang Xuanzang felt suddenly enlightened.

This method is indeed better than marriage. After all, there is a person in the middle of the marriage. If they become sworn brothers and sisters, it is tantamount to placing a stable pawn in the Western Regions for the King of Tang, and the Queen of Xiliang can also take this opportunity to have a relationship with the Western Regions. The Tang Dynasty established a more stable diplomatic relationship, and the queen did not have to sacrifice her marriage happiness for this. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

"I am going to edit a book, and you will send it to the border for me quickly, and give it to a general named Li Da. This is a token." After thinking for a while, Tang Xuanzang took out the token that he had agreed with the King of Tang from his bosom. , with this token, his envoys can directly exchange information with Tang Wang's confidantes at the border.

Tang Xuanzang didn't know why he trusted Wu Kong so much, maybe it was because this person still used Wu Kong's body?

Worried that Tang Xuanzang would encounter monsters here alone, Wu Kong waited until Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing came back, and then drew a big circle with a golden cudgel to protect the three of them and Bailongma inside. Only then did he fly to Datang's border close to the Western Regions.

"Master, did you go to beg for alms?" Zhu Bajie asked curiously. In fact, he wanted to eat the mutton pancakes he bought last time. Sun Wukong bought a thousand of them in one go, enough for them to eat for a long time on the road.With these, Zhu Bajie didn't want to spend time to beg for alms at all, not to mention, the leftovers from alms were cold, where could there be delicious and crispy mutton pancakes?

"I see that you have brought back some firewood, so let's bake some biscuits and eat them first. As a teacher, I miss Datang's sauce very much. Your senior brother's somersaulting cloud can travel thousands of miles every day. I ordered him to go back to Datang to buy sauce. " Tang Xuanzang said leisurely.

Zhu Bajie was speechless for a moment, but when he thought of Datang's sauce, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up: Master has never been stingy, so he will definitely let the senior brother buy more sauce and share it with them, right?

really!After a cup of tea, Wu Kong came back in somersaulting cloud, and brought two big tanks full of black sauce.

Although the appearance of this black sauce is mediocre, the taste is extremely delicious, especially in ancient times when there were no seafood soy sauce and light soy sauce, soy sauce was almost a daily necessity in every family.

Tang Xuanzang did not lie to Zhu Bajie. He really missed the black sauce of Tang Dynasty, the kind of sauce fermented by farmers with soybeans. It was his only memory of delicious food in the temple in his previous life.Life in the temple was poor, and the only meat dishes were eggs. Others were simple pancakes with plain noodles and water. Occasionally, a small dish of black sauce was considered an improvement in food. Because of the heavy taste of soybean paste, in the eyes of the ascetic monks It is not good for practice, so there is very little supply. Tang Xuanzang only ate it a dozen times when he was a young novice, and he never ate it again after he grew up.

Coincidentally, Wu Kong was also very curious about the black sauce that Tang Xuanzang was talking about. Speaking of which, since he came to the world in this book, he has never tasted such a strong seasoning.

"Spicy sauce!" Zhu Bajie opened the sauce jar, took a deep breath, his expression was very intoxicated.

"It's really delicious!" Sha Wujing couldn't help but twirled some sauce with his fingers and tasted it.

"Bring a few pancakes, this black sauce is delicious when dipped in the pancakes." Tang Xuanzang ordered, and Zhu Bajie immediately went to the luggage to find a stack of taupe pancakes. The ones bought on the fine site are made of wheat flour, a specialty of the Western Regions. The taste is a little rough, but it is very easy to fill your stomach.

"Wait! Give me a pancake." Seeing the thick pancake, Wu Kong's eyes lit up.

They brought some white-cut mutton. Wu Hao took a few slices, cut the pancake from the middle, brushed some black sauce inside, and put the sliced ​​mutton on top of it, making the simplest pancake. Roujiamo, he had eaten this stuff on other planets before, it was so delicious!

Although the ingredients for this low-end version of Roujiamo he made were insufficient, it was probably because what he ate before was clear soup with little water. After eating this Roujiamo, Wu Cong was so moved that he was about to cry: This is too good Have you eaten?Why didn't he think of making some sauce before?

Tang Xuanzang saw that his food was delicious, so he took a noodle cake without hesitation, and made one. He is a very smart person, and the appearance of the meat sandwich he made looks even better than the original one made by Wu Kong. Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing followed suit and made another one. Sha Wujing was fine, but Zhu Bajie was very greedy. He picked up a lot of white-cut mutton in one go, and almost broke the pancake, so he had to die with both hands. Clasping the sides of the bread, while eating, distracted to catch the crumbling mutton slices.

The four masters and apprentices ate up a dozen pancakes in one go, and they also ate up the white-cut mutton they brought.

"Hey! If you have another bowl of spicy soup, life will be perfect." Patting his round belly, Boss Wu couldn't help sighing.

When he comes back from learning the scriptures, if he still can't go back, he will hire a bunch of servants to take care of him and eat all over the Tang Dynasty!

"When we get to the big city, let's buy more bread and meat." With the sauce, bake some pancakes and eat them with meat and sauce, which is much more comfortable than they used to eat with big biscuits.

"I'll take the burden for senior brother!" Zhu Bajie volunteered.

"Of course you have to pick it! You don't have money to buy noodles, and Junior Brother Sha has to carry the luggage. It's not you who picks it, so why should Master pick it?" Wu Kong slapped Zhu Bajie on the back of the head, but his mood suddenly relaxed down.

With that thing in his arms, Elder Tang will definitely go to the daughter country of Xiliang.
