Tang Seng is a cook

Yuan Sheng'er led the way, and Zhuang Fan led his disciples to follow behind. They rode the clouds and fog, and soon came to Jiuqu Panhuan Cave in Zhujie Mountain.

Yuan Sheng'er landed on the ground and led Zhuang Fan to walk in, with a very embarrassed face, he said: "My lord, the young one is not very good at tidying up, the house is messy, don't dislike it."

Zhuang Fan nodded, and looked around as he walked, seeing that this place is indeed worthy of the name of Jiuqu Panhuan, the path along the way is winding and winding, and the path is very hidden, which is very conducive for small animals to escape and hide, and there is still a hole in front of the cave. There is a large piece of grass where you can play. It can be seen that Yuan Sheng'er chose to settle here because he really put his heart into it.

Walking to the inner room, Yuan Sheng'er raised his voice and shouted, "Children, grandpa is back!"

Zhuang Fan stood still, only to hear a few childish whimpering sounds from inside, and then, five or six little fur balls ran out, indeed they looked bigger than the little yellow-haired lion in Zhuang Fan's arms, but they were also They are not very strong, although they are very lively, and when they see Yuan Sheng'er, they will rush to act like a baby, but according to Zhuang Fan's standards for raising children, these few are still thinner.

Yuan Sheng'er squatted down and looked at the six little lions one by one, and seeing that there were no wounds on his body, he felt relieved and said, "Come on, grandpa will tell you that this is the Venerable Jin Chanzi, come and salute the Venerable! "

Although these little lions can barely transform into form, they are still young and don't know much about human affairs. At this time, they waited at home all morning and didn't eat breakfast. They were so hungry. Seeing Yuan Sheng'er, they just wanted to If he wanted to eat, he just burrowed into his arms to find something to eat, how could he know what the Venerable was.

Zhuang Fan saw these little hairy balls screaming, so he handed the one in his arms to Wukong, hugged one, reached out to touch it, and sure enough, his belly was flat, and he frowned, and said, "I'm hungry, you have something to eat." without?"

Yuan Sheng'er was so embarrassed that he said: "Because I have been busy refining that pill from last night until now, so I haven't had time to find food for the children..."

Just as he was talking, his own stomach rumbled loudly. Yuan Sheng'er became even more ashamed. He picked up a little lion and put it in front of his face. As a result, his face was scratched unceremoniously by the hungry grandson.

Zhuang Fan sighed, and said: "I'll feed them first, you go wash yourself first, then change this dirty clothes, tidy up, come to eat too."

Yuan Sheng'er babbled and said, "I've got to thank you, my lord..."

Zhuang Fan picked up the little lion in his arms and looked at it, tsk, it is also a dirty baby, and he has not taken a bath since he saw it, so he said: "Prepare more hot water, and when they are full, take them too." Go wash up."

Yuan Sheng'er scratched his head and said blankly: "There is no hot water."

Bajie wondered, "How do you wash without hot water?"

Yuan Sheng'er said: "There is a river ahead..."

The masters and apprentices heard this, Qi Qi shook his head, and Wu You said: "Your life is too rough these days, and the energy that you were so particular about back then is gone."

This time Yuan Sheng'er bowed his head and remained silent.

Zhuang Fan said: "Okay, don't laugh at him, he was pampered and raised by himself, it is very rare to come down to the world to suffer for these little lions, there is no one who is born so comprehensive."

After Wukong and the others heard this, they all came over and patted Yuan Shenger on the shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up, until Yuan Shenger became very embarrassed, tongue-tied, not knowing what to say.

Zhuang Fan told Wukong: "Bring our big wooden barrel for Yuan Sheng'er to use, and you take Wuwang to release the water."

Then he turned around and asked Yuan Sheng'er, "Do you have clean clothes?"

Yuan Sheng'er hurriedly said: "My lord, I am wearing a cassock, and it will be clean after washing."

Zhuang Fan nodded and said, "Give these to me, and you go with Wukong and the others. By the way, can these few eat meat?"

Yuan Sheng'er hurriedly said: "Fuli and Tuanxiang are smaller and can only drink rice soup, but the four can eat raw meat."

Zhuang Fan frowned when he heard that, this life is too bitter, eating raw meat is fine, after all, it is his nature, he just drinks rice soup for the cub who has not been weaned...

Wukong handed the little lion rhubarb to Bajie, and Wuwang took Yuan Sheng'er to take a bath inside. Zhuang Fan greeted Wuyou and said, "Help daddy, put two milk bottles, and feed the two little ones first." .”

Bajie hurriedly said, "Master, I'm here, I'm familiar with this! I was always breastfeeding Nao Nao in Chang'an!" As he spoke, he handed Rhubarb, who was sleeping on all fours, to his younger brother, took out the bottle himself, and took Master's hand milk in jug.

Wuyou curled his lips, squatted there holding the rhubarb, looked down at the little hairball, couldn't help reaching out his hand, and gently tugged at its mustache, as a result, his father's voice rang out, saying: "Wuyou Worry, don't be naughty."

Wuyou stuck out her tongue, rubbed it quickly, and touched the little lion's hot belly. Seeing that Zhuang Fan and Ba Jie were holding one and feeding the other, the others gathered around Zhuang Fan, looking up eagerly. Looking at it carefully, he said, "Father, what should we do with these few?"

Zhuang Fan sighed, and said: "They are all able to take shape, and they should eat cooked food. Later, Daddy will stew some meat for them."

Wu You heard this, rolled his eyes, smiled, and suddenly took out a plate of steaming salted liver, and said with a smile: "Daddy, I have some ready-made ones here, why don't you give them this?"

When Zhuang Fan took a look, he was very happy, and said, "Picky eaters again!"

He was the one who made the beef liver and gave Wuyou a small recipe to supplement his nutrition. He thought this brat ate it all, but he told him to secretly put it away.

Wuyou wrinkled her nose and said coquettishly: "Good daddy, you can tell me to eat anything, just this liver, I really don't like this taste..."

Zhuang Fan was helpless, sighed, and said, "Okay then, let them eat."

Wuyou was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted those little hairy dumplings, "Come, come, grandpa will give you delicious food!"

Bajie burst out laughing, frightened Fuli in his arms, lost his pacifier, and looked at him blankly, Bajie quickly pursed his lips and chirped twice, coaxing softly: "Good, good, good!" , it’s okay, let’s eat~”

Only then did Fuli grab the pacifier again, and began to drink it.

Zhuang Fan also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he said to himself, brat, it's fine to be a father, but he still wants to be a grandfather!

That's good, I haven't reached the Western Paradise yet, my seniority is rising steadily, alas, now I have become a great-grandfather!

The four over there, the typical ones with milk are the masters. Seeing Wuyou take out the delicious beef liver, they pounced on it and started to eat it. Wuyou hugged the rhubarb and watched it with relish. Still fighting, said: "Don't grab it, there are all of them, there are many at Grandpa's!"

Zhuang Fan got angry and coughed, Wuyou realized that he had been exposed again, he trembled in fright, looked up, his father was glaring at him, and bowed in a courteous way: "Daddy, I'm real, really, really I don't like to eat liver, pork liver, beef liver, chicken liver, I don't like to eat..."

Zhuang Fan was so angry that his stomach hurt, he whispered: "I'll deal with you later!"

Wukong and Wuwang put water for Yuan Sheng'er, let him take a bath in it, and came out to help feed him.

The two little ones drank four bottles of milk, the four big ones ate five or six plates of various colors, and drank a bottle of milk, and each of them had a full belly, full of food, drink, and energy. There was a fight on the ground.

Zhuang Fan knew that the lion cubs like to play around at this time, so he didn't stop them, and even took out a few hydrangea balls and threw them over, telling the lion cubs to play with them.

Wukong smiled and said, "Master, the bead is like a treasure chest. What can you get?"

Zhuang Fan smiled and said: "Thinking about buying it for Nao Nao's family, didn't you say that Hong Ye wanted to raise a cat last time?"

The monkeys laughed loudly and said, "It's just right, these are also six big cats!"

Unexpectedly, Wuyou snorted and said: "Counting rhubarb, exactly seven, plus a grandpa, wow ha ha ha ha..."

The others were stunned for a moment, thought about it, and came to their senses. They clapped their hands and said, "That's right! This is the Seventh Brother! Just call him Dawa or something!"

Zhuang Fan said with a stern face: "You can play around!", but in the end he was too happy.

Seeing that it was already noon, Zhuang Fan said: "Pangpang was hungry just now, Master went to the door to let the house out to cook, you take them to play first."

Wukong said: "Master, these people are smelly, let's take them into the room and give them a bath?"

Zhuang Fan thought about it and said, "It's fine, you go inside and talk to that grandpa first, so that he won't see anyone when he comes out, and think we ran away with his seven grandchildren!"

Everyone laughed loudly, Wukong held his stomach and couldn't stop laughing, "Master, the most narrow-minded person in the world, there is no one else except you!"

Zhuang Fan lowered his head and picked up the two cubs, saying: "Go quickly, master will go first!" After speaking, he ran away first.

Wu Wang and Ba Jie also hugged two of them, Wu You kept holding Rhubarb, and said: "Brother, I'm holding Qi Baby, you go!"

Wukong laughed so hard that he couldn't stand upright, waved to them, and went in with his waist supported.

When Zhuang Fan reached the door, he let out the cabin, went in and handed the little lion to his disciples, changed his clothes, washed his hands, and started cooking. After a while, he heard screams and laughter from the other side of the bathroom. There was the immature wailing of the little lion, and Yuan Sheng'er's angry roar: "Be honest, grandpa has washed it! Grandpa doesn't wash it!"

The corner of Zhuang Fan's mouth couldn't help but curl up into a big smile, and his subordinates kept on cooking a lot of dishes.

The meal was ready, he wiped his hands, walked over, opened the bathroom door to have a look, drink!A layer of water on the ground!

In the house, no matter whether it is big or small, no one is dry.Yuan Sheng'er squatted on the edge of the wooden basin, with a ball of foam on his head, and was holding the little white lion to give him a bath. The little lion was struggling under his grandfather's hands, splashing water in the wooden basin. Splash high.

Zhuang Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "You need to use a little bit of strength. If you put so much effort into it, the child will hurt!"

Yuan Sheng'er let go cleanly, but the lion cub fell into the water with a plop, scaring him to catch it again in a hurry.

Zhuang Fan shook his head helplessly, and said: "Let me come!" Then he called to Wukong who was soaking in the pool and said: "Master is ready, Wukong, you take Yuan Sheng'er and the juniors to eat , take all the cleaned lion cubs, but they are all full, so don’t feed them any more!”

Wukong promised, got up from the pool, cleaned up the juniors one by one, put on clean clothes, stood in a row by the pool, picked up the cubs, and dried them all. One person hugged the two, Wu You Empty-handed, they all went out together.

Wukong was the last one to go out, came to the side of the tub, grabbed Yuan Sheng'er who was squatting there, at a loss, and said: "Look at what, don't worry, my master is very light, and I will wash your grandson dry." It's clean! Come on, come and eat with me!"

Yuan Sheng'er was dragged away obediently, Zhuang Fan washed the little white snow lion clean, washed him twice, then wiped it dry, and carried him out.

A white and fragrant little baby, hugged in his arms, feels super nice, although the weather is quite hot, Zhuang Fan doesn't want to let go.

Zhuang Fan came to the living room and saw that Rhubarb was still sleeping soundly on the sofa, and those few were playing on the ground. The children had already brought the food to the living room and were waiting for him. When they saw Zhuang Fan came out, they hurriedly called him : "Master, come and eat!"

Zhuang Fan smiled and said, "Why don't you eat? You won't be hungry just looking at it?"

Yuan Sheng'er said embarrassedly: "Honorable Master has worked so hard to cook, why can't he wait for you to eat together?"

Zhuang Fan put the little snow lion down, told him to play with his brothers, sat down, picked up his chopsticks and said, "You're welcome, just like my own family, eat, I've been hungry for a whole day."

Holding the job bowl, Yuan Sheng'er's eyes were red again, and he quickly agreed, "Hey, hey!"

That being said, he only moved his chopsticks when he saw that Zhuang Fan was picking up food, and he was very polite when eating, which made the monkeys at home start to pay attention to their appearance carefully.

Zhuang Fan was afraid that he would be cautious, so he picked up food for him several times, and finally Wuyou smiled and said to Yuan Sheng'er in a low voice: "Hurry up and pick up the food yourself, or my father will feed you!"

Wu You stretched out his hand to grab a large piece of lotus root, swallowed it in one gulp, and quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice, stuffing his mouth full, and said, "See, eat like me!"

Yuan Sheng'er scratched his ears and said to himself, this, this is too rude!He, he was brought up by Tianzun, he can be said to be the most honorable and educated lion in the world!

Just thinking about it again, they all say that guests do as they please, maybe this custom is on the table at the Venerable's family?He looked up, and sure enough, everyone was eating food and eating hard, so he couldn't help but also picked up the rice bowl, and started eating food.

Zhuang Fan glanced at Wuyou with a smile, Wuyou smiled at his father, and put a piece of tofu for Zhuang Fan, Zhuang Fan ate it without saying anything.

After eating enough, Ba Jie volunteered to clean up the dishes, and Wu Wang also went to help, so Zhuang Fan and Yuan Sheng'er talked in the living room.

Sitting on the soft sofa, hugging the little grandchildren who were tired from playing and began to sleep soundly, Yuan Sheng'er looked at the bright crystal glass, felt the cool temperature in the room, and couldn't help saying in amazement: "His lord, The wooden house is indeed a very practical magic weapon, and the Venerable is still as ingenious as before!"

Zhuang Fan smiled and said, "But I didn't do it!"

He asked again: "These children, let me see, it's too difficult for you to take care of them by yourself. How do you get food and drink on weekdays?"

Yuan Sheng'er scratched his head and said: "I don't know much, so I just caught some wild animals in the mountains and fed them. It's just that a few of them were young when I picked them up and couldn't eat meat. I secretly went down the mountain, turned into a human form, and asked those mortals , How to raise a child without a mother? They say that poor people can just feed rice soup, so I picked up some dog's head gold in the mountains, went to the city to buy rice, and came back to make porridge for them. Old paste pot..."

Zhuang Fan shook his head when he heard this, and said: "What about rice soup? You should get them some milk, cow's milk, goat's milk, bear's milk, wolf's milk, no matter what kind of beasts are suckling, and those who have lost their cubs, you can catch them." One came back, sir?"

Yuan Sheng'er scratched his head, very dazed, and said, "That's fine too..."

Zhuang Fan sighed, and said: "Let's not talk about that, I have seen these children, they are not considered strong, if you continue to raise them like this, you will not be able to, and you have to go back to Miaoyan Palace, how about this, I will find a place for them, you see how?"

Yuan Sheng'er hugged the six little grandchildren, lowered his head, tears rolled in his eyes, he was very reluctant, but he was thinking of the children after all, sobbing authentically: "What's so good about the venerable?"

Zhuang Fan touched Yuan Sheng's son Mao Dudu's big ears, and said: "I will hand them over to Guanyin Bodhisattva and ask him to be raised in the South China Sea. What do you think? Then you can still visit in the future!"

Yuan Sheng'er raised his head, surprised, and said, "Is it true? Will the Bodhisattva accept it?"

Zhuang Fan just laughed and said: "You forgot, when you were a child, Bodhisattva also liked you very much. Once you were not feeling well, and after you were full, you became mischievous and vomited on him, but he was still very anxious to hug you. The person who came looking for your master knew that nothing happened, and even hugged you to take a bath."

Yuan Sheng'er became ashamed again, shook his ears, and said, "Bodhisattva has a very kind heart. I was too delicate when I was young..."

Zhuang Fan asked, "What about Xiaoqi? Is it for me to raise it, or is it also given to the Bodhisattva to take care of it?"

Yuan Sheng'er hurriedly said: "My lord, you should take the rhubarb with you for a while, the little lion's nature is to fight, wait for him to grow up in the lower realm, and he is about the same age as his brothers, and then send it to the Bodhisattva, or he Too young, the other six will always be unable to resist bullying him!"

Zhuang Fan nodded and said, "Success! Then it's up to you!"

Wukong stretched out his hand, touched the rhubarb in Master's arms, and said, "Master, then shall I go to the South China Sea to find Bodhisattva?"

Zhuang Fan smiled and said, "No need, Master is here. Wukong, you take Yuan Sheng'er and your juniors, and go back to the house to sleep with the little hairballs in your arms. It happens that we have a day's rest during the day and set off again in the middle of the night."

Yuan Sheng'er heard this, and said anxiously: "My lord, is it because I'm dragging down your master and apprentice's itinerary?"

Wu You yawned, and said very bluntly: "Don't give yourself money, we have already discussed this way last night, it's all because of the hot weather, it has nothing to do with you!"

Zhuang Fan smacked the little fat man, and said: "Don't dare to be rude, I will deal with you later!"

Wu You stuck out his tongue, picked up a cub, and ran away with a splash.

Zhuang Fan said to Yuan Sheng'er: "You also go to bed with Wukong and the others. You didn't sleep all night last night, aren't you sleepy? Go."

The children were all gone, Zhuang Fan sat in the living room, took out the sachet, opened it, it was full, since Guanyin gave him this summoning incense, he had only used it once, couldn't help sighing, twisted out a Light the incense, and stare at the curling smoke in a daze.

After a while, the door creaked, and Zhuang Fan turned his head to look, and saw Guanyin in white clothes, stepping on the platform with bare feet, holding a fish basket in his hand, with loose hair, and walked away with a breath of water. Come in, get up quickly to meet him.

Guanyin said angrily: "I'm taking a bath, it's broad daylight, what are you calling me for!" Fortunately, he thought that Zhuang Fan wouldn't call him during the day, so he managed to take a bath!

Zhuang Fan stroked his hair and saw that it was damp, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "I can wait a while, why did the hair come out before drying, blowing the wind, be careful of headache!"

Avalokitesvara patted the back of his hand and said: "The sky is bright and white, don't touch your hands!" Then he asked, "Where are your disciples?"

Zhuang Fan led him to sit on the sofa, took out a cotton towel to wipe his hair, and said, "Don't worry, I told them to go back to sleep. They just had dinner and were sleepy. I'm afraid they won't sleep until the afternoon." stand up."

After hearing this, Guanyin sat down at ease and asked him to wipe his hair, wondering: "I'm not on my way today? Why did you ask me to come?"

Zhuang Fan said with a smile: "This time is really a big deal, I want to give you the South China Sea, and import it properly!"

After hearing this, Guanyin pinched his fingers to calculate the distance, smiled, and said, "Are you going to leave Yuan Sheng'er and those little grandchildren to me?"

Zhuang Fan Xiaodao: "His little grandson is still young, and the hairy one is more fun than when he was a child. It's just that he has been raised to be thinner. You can take it back and take care of it. There are still a few mythical beasts inside. If you develop it and bring it out, it will definitely be more majestic than Taiyi saving Ku Tianzun!"

Guanyin couldn't help laughing, and said angrily, "That's where the majesty is! You can talk nonsense!"

He just thought about it and said: "I'll take it back, but I'm only worried about it. The old mother's cooking is too unpalatable. The little lions are not used to it, but what should I do?"

Thinking of the old mother of Iron Fan, Zhuang Fan was also worried, and said: "These few days, you have been in the South China Sea, and you haven't eaten a single meal?"

Guanyin shook her head and said: "Not only me, but also the golden retriever, now he refuses to eat her cooking!"

Zhuang Fan thought about it, and said: "Why don't you tell Iron Fan that the old mother go down to earth and practice cooking for a few years?"

Guanyin looked up at Zhuang Fan and said, "Where can I learn cooking?"

Zhuang Fan said: "Restaurant! How about you ask Iron Fan to send her to Chang'an, find a lively and popular restaurant, and learn how to cook in the back kitchen?"

His hair was almost dry, Zhuang Fan helped to tie it up again, combed Guanyin's hair in a bun, put on a small jade crown, and showed him a mirror.

Avalokitesvara took a photo and said: "This idea is very good. When I go back, I will discuss it with Iron Fan! Where did you buy your jade crown?"

Zhuang Fan stared at him fiercely, and said: "Isn't it pretty? I bought it in Yuhua County yesterday. Although the jade is not very good, the carving is not bad. I think it's quite unique. It matches you, so I bought it. "

Guanyin smiled, pursed her red lips, and said, "It's beautiful!"
