Tang Seng is a cook

When he went to work early the next morning, Zhuang Fan still left the data cable at home, left a note, briefly explained a few words, and left a house key.

He didn't realize until late last night that Guanyin and the others didn't have a key to the house, and when he asked, sure enough, it was okay when they went out, but when they came back, the three tapped the lock, and the door opened.

Zhuang Fanxin said that this is good, his apprentice broke through the empty door without a teacher, but at least he didn't enter through the wall, if that was the case, how many people would be scared to death if they were seen?

It was another busy day when he arrived in the laboratory. He found Chu Bo at noon and told him about his desire to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Chu Bo was very satisfied, nodded repeatedly, and said: "Do you plan to study for a graduate student first, or do you plan to study with a doctorate?" gone?"

Zhuang Fan smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's best if we can study together, but I'm afraid we won't pass the exam."

Chu Bo said: "Then there is nothing you can't pass the exam. If the graduate student can pass the exam, the doctoral exam will be easier. Well, I'll talk about that later, let's focus on the present. I have some information about the graduate tutors here. These professors and associate professors I know them all well, some are my classmates, some have cooperated in business, and their profession and character are reliable. You can take it back and choose carefully, and tell me when you decide. I will say hello for you. If you have others Candidates, bring them too, and I will give you a staff officer!"

Zhuang Fan said, "Chu Bo, why bother you!"

Chu Bo waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite, I only care about you because I have seen that you have been working hard in the laboratory for the past two years and your business has improved. I care about you! Okay, let’s read the materials! It’s only the first month, and there’s just one year to review. Your professional courses are solid, and you have to work hard on the rest. At least the English score can’t be too low! The literature should be read. look!"

Zhuang Fan was scolded again, but he was very happy. He took the USB drive Chu Bo gave him, and went back to his seat happily.

Just came back after the Spring Festival, there is not too much work, and the cells are not cultivated in large quantities, so there is no need to work overtime this weekend. Zhuang Fan has been busy for several working days. On Saturday morning, he would lazily lie on the bed, following Bu Zhen and his disciples. Let's sleep in together.

It wasn't until mid-sun that Avalokitesvara, who was in a hurry to get a haircut, pinched Zhuang Fan's nose and woke up the big lazy cat. Zhuang Fan yawned and rubbed his eyes when he stood up to see that he was all dressed up, and the suit fit him quite well. He is very energetic. Ordinary people can wear a suit and look like a salesman if they don't pay attention, but if they don't stand there, they will look like a young man from a rich family.

Zhuang Fan went to the bathroom to wash up. When he passed by the kitchen, he took a look and saw Wukong and Bajie huddled together in the kitchen. Bajie was making breakfast, while Wukong was not helping. They were arguing like talking about cross talk , The twittering was very lively.

After Zhuang Fan washed up and came out, Wukong and Bajie prepared breakfast: rice porridge, boiled eggs, steamed dumplings, and pickles.

Zhuang Fan praised while eating: "This porridge is cooked well! The eggs are delicious! The pickles are delicious! The steamed dumplings are cooked!"

People at the table laughed loudly, and Bajie groaned, "Master is teasing me again!"

Zhuang Fan coaxed his apprentice: "Every great chef starts with small dishes. If you can't do these things well, how can you be a good cook! Right?"

Bajie became happy again, and said: "Master, Master, today's eggs are a bit sweet, Brother Hou doesn't like it, Master thinks it's okay?"

Zhuang Fan said while eating: "Master also likes to eat well-cooked ones, add some sauce to the porridge, mix and eat, just like before. Tangxin's eggs are your second senior brother and your youngest senior brother's favorite."

As soon as Zhuang Fan finished speaking, Wukong turned his head and sneezed loudly. The force was so strong that the monkey staggered and dangled under the chair. Fortunately, Wukong was sitting next to the master and was embraced by Zhuang Fan. Living.

Zhuang Fan leaned forward and took out a piece of paper, wiped Wukong's nose, touched his apprentice's forehead, and said, "What's the matter, did you catch a cold? Did you go out yesterday to be cold?"

The little monkey took the paper towel and wiped it twice, then sneezed a few times, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "No, I reckon, it's Guaiguai and Wuyou who are talking about us in the sky. Bajie scolded him all over the place."

The little hairy monkey raised his head, looked at Master, and said, "Master, when shall we take Wu Wang and Wu You next?"

Zhuang Fan rubbed his apprentice Mao Dudu's forehead, and said: "Master also wants to follow up, but now Master is a complete mortal, unable to fly up, unable to take you through the barrier."

Wukong sighed, and said: "I don't know what's wrong, I can't pass through that barrier, this time it's thanks to my brother who took me, master, you said my father is so eccentric, why is he so biased!?" His brother Hongye can walk back and forth, but he can't!

Zhuang Fan was startled, and covered his apprentice's mouth, but before he had time, a small purple thunderbolt crackled on Wukong's head, splitting a wisp of the little monkey's stupefied fur, and a burst of Small black smoke curled up into the air and dissipated over the house.

The four around the dining table stared blankly at the little black smoke, and no one spoke for a while.

After a long while, Bajie, who was sitting next to Guanyin, poked his head over and said in a low voice, "Brother Hou'er, your father is really narrow-minded!"

With lingering fears in his heart, Wukong nodded, and hissed at Bajie, Ba Xiaodai shivered, and quickly shut up again.

Zhuang Fanxin said that was fine, and You Tiandao looked at Wukong. This brave little monkey reckoned that he would not cause any big trouble in the mortal world, so he tidied up Wukong's scorched hair and said, "It's okay. , it’s just a little muddy, when you come back in the afternoon, Master will comb it for you.”

Wukong and Bajie's eyes lit up, and said, "Master, aren't you not going to work today? What are you going to do?"

Zhuang Fan said: "Your uncle wants a haircut, and the master will accompany him to the street, will you go?"

Wukong and Bajie said in unison: "Go and go!" They were going to get some more money, and they wanted to buy something else!

Talking about going, his hands kept moving, the monkey drank all the porridge in the bowl in one gulp, and stuffed some steamed dumplings into his mouth.

Zhuang Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "What's the rush, eat slowly, don't worry, what if you choke? Master hasn't finished eating yet."

The monkey stuffed the last steamed dumpling into his mouth, dropped his chopsticks, and said, "Master, uncle, I'm done eating!" He jumped off the stool and ran away.

Zhuang Fan pushed Bajie's rice bowl across the table and said, "Don't learn from your senior brother, eat slowly!"

Bajie hummed and acted coquettishly, and said, "Master, I'm only one mouthful away!"

Zhuang Fan stared, Ba Xiaodai had no choice but to slowly finish his breakfast before running away.

Zhuang Fan looked at the happy apprentice, shook his head helplessly, Guanyin said with a smile: "You still say that I am used to my apprentice, I think you are more than worse!"

Zhuang Fan sighed, and said: "Oh, let them follow me to live a normal life, I can't bear to criticize them too much, after all, they are not real children."

Just as he was talking, the well-dressed Wukong came running over, carrying an environmental protection bag in his hand, put it on the dining table with a bang, and said, "Master, here it is!"

Zhuang Fan saw that the dining table was shaking for a while, so he knew something was wrong, and without asking what it was, he stretched out his hand to hook it, pulled the bag over, drank it, and drank heavily.

Open it and see that there are several wads of cash on the top, and a gold bar the size of an adult's forearm below! !

Zhuang Fan suddenly felt a toothache and a pain in his temple. He rubbed his head, waved to his apprentice, and said, "Wukong, come here. Master asks you, what do you want to do with such a large piece of gold?" Big gold, there are several million.

The monkey said happily: "Buy a car! Buy a house! Master, I came back from dinner yesterday and saw a sales center over there selling villas. Let's go buy one too! A single-family house with a big yard! And the one with four wheels The car runs very fast, and Master also bought one! It will be much more convenient for us to go out~"

Zhuang Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, pinched the little monkey's face and said, "So you plan to sell gold again?"

Wukong looked at Master helplessly, and said, "Master, buy it, you have to climb the seventh floor of this house every day, and it's exhausting! You have to pay the landlord every month!"

Bajie also came over, and lay down on the master's lap with the senior brother, and said coquettishly: "Master, I also want a very big kitchen with all appliances, and I also want a large refrigerator with double doors!"

Guanyin also said beside him: "Fanfan, the car matter can still be slowed down, and the house still needs to be bought. I have been reading newspapers, magazines, and TV programs these days, and they are all talking about buying a house. Let's buy a big house. So that you can take over your parents and Xueshi, the old and the young in the family, you can leave them for so long without worry? Besides, we people, living together in your hut for a long time, is not the same as provoking life Suspicious?" After all, Zhuang Fan's small rental house is only a one-bedroom.

He knew what Zhuang Fan was worried about, and persuaded him: "Since we have the financial resources and the ability to live a better life in the secular world, why should you stick to it? Anyway, I took this gold back then to spend it for you of."

Zhuang Fan shook his head and smiled lightly, and said: "It's not because of this, I am a person who is willing to be poor, but now in this mortal world, money transactions are under surveillance, bank transfers, all kinds of software transactions are clear It is clear. You have money or not. Sometimes outsiders know better than you. Our gold is easy to sell, but the origin of the gold is hard to say. We just sold the gold secretly, and suddenly got this big one A sum of cash, that is even more eye-catching, maybe someone will come to check it, and then it will still make us uneasy?"

Zhuang Fan rubbed the little monkey: "It's really not safe to sell gold, let Master think again, we will definitely buy a big house and a big car in the future, okay?"

The little monkey pouted, thinking that he could handle this, but suddenly Bajie said: "Master, if selling gold can't work, let's gamble on stones?"

Zhuang Fan was taken aback, rubbed Bajie's chubby face, and said with a smile, "Where did you hear that? How do you know about gambling with stones?"

Bajie smiled and said: "I read it in the book! Master, it turns out that there are also capable people and strange people in the mortal world. Although they can't fly, they also have some strange abilities, such as clairvoyance, fortune-telling, geomantic omen and so on. , you see, these books are about it!"

Zhuang Fan took Bajie's cell phone and looked at it: first-class novels, such as "The Legend of Gambling Stones", "Mr. Fengshui in the City", "Your Fengshui I am the Master"...

He almost burst out laughing!

Zhuang Fan laughed so hard that he pinched Bajie's face and said, "Stupid fat, this is a novel! It's all stories, not real!"

Bajie pursed his mouth, humming and chirping, "Then Master, can you gamble with stones?"

Zhuang Fan rubbed his chin and said: "I don't understand this, why don't you wait for May [-]st, when Master is on holiday, and take you over there to play and see if we have any luck, and find a leak?"

Bajie happily said: "Okay, okay, Master, Brother Hou'er and I can see through, seeing a stone couldn't be easier! Let's get some good jadeite and sell it!"

Guanyin frowned and said: "If you want to talk about emeralds, I also have them here. Can I sell them? Is it worth money?"

Avalokitesvara took out a piece of jade from the storage bag. It was the size of a fist, exquisitely carved, full of emerald green, dazzling brilliance, round and very round. It looked like a small rockery. Once it was taken out, it reflected green around it. Yes, it's not like ordinary products.

Zhuang Fan was stunned, rubbed his forehead, and said, "Put it away!" He looked really frightened.

Guanyin didn't listen to him, and casually threw the emerald on the sofa and coffee table, and the small rockery landed firmly in the middle of a succulent flowerpot on the coffee table under Zhuang Fan's exclamation, and said casually: "Let's use it as a decoration, It can be seen that your little flower pot is bare and just finished."

The succulents were bought by Zhuang Fan last summer, and they withered after a few days. Zhuang Fan threw away the dried succulents, leaving only a small flower pot with pebbles the size of a finger inside, which can be regarded as a decoration. Now the emerald rockery is placed on it, which happens to be suitable.

Zhuang Fan told Guanyin to break out in a cold sweat, even though he knew that Guanyin had a sharp head, he still couldn't help saying: "What if it breaks?"

Guanyin said nonchalantly, "This is not worth much, I have plenty here!"

He shook, big and small emeralds of various colors immediately spread all over the ground at Guanyin's feet, and when illuminated by the early morning sun, they showed dazzling multicolored brilliance.

Zhuang Fan's heart was pounding, fearing that those jadeites would be knocked and broken, he pointed at those jadeites tremblingly, and said, "No, what are you doing with so many jadeites?"

Avalokitesvara kicked it, pushed the emerald that was pressing on his foot aside, and said, "This is the stone I used to lay the lotus pond. The color is vulgar, and everyone said to replace it with white jade, so I put it away, and there was nowhere to put it, and I forgot to put it in the storage bag."

Bajie picked up a piece of jadeite that Gulu had brought to his feet, and said excitedly: "Master! Uncle! This is the three-color jadeite of Fu Lu Shou! According to the book, this is very valuable!"

Zhuang Fan stood up feebly, picked up the bowls and said, "Put them away, don't put them on the ground, and wait until the May Day holiday, when we go to gamble on stones, then take them out!"

Bajie looked at Guanyin eagerly with his stone eyes in his hands, Guanyin smiled slightly, and said, "I'll give you all if I call you Daddy!" When he and Fanfan got married, the children would have to change their words sooner or later, practice first!

Zhuang Fan, who was walking towards the kitchen, staggered, so that all the dishes in his hand flew out!Also dislike pigment

Pian Bajie, a clever little ghost, scratched his neck and shouted: "Master!"

This time Zhuang Fan knocked more than a dozen dishes on the floor!

Fortunately, it was not broken, it was held up by Wukong volley!

The Bajie was caught under the creaking hole by Guanyin, and he rubbed the top of his head with his fist for a long time, but he didn't change his words after all, and got the jade.

Ba Xiaodai was in so much pain, but his face was grinning from ear to ear, he ran to the kitchen with a storage bag in his hands to present treasures to Wukong: "Senior brother, we can buy a big villa!"

Wukong was taking off his coat and standing on the stool to help his master wash the dishes. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Okay, fat, fat and capable! Keep them all, keep them!"

The two young men stole a lot of money from their private houses, and they were secretly happy at home, so they decided not to go out, so Zhuang Fan led Guanyin to have a haircut, and when they went out, they said: "Your hands are too loose, so many emeralds, I can't help but look at them. I went to play with it as a stone."

Guanyin said with a smile: "It's the stones used to pave the pond. That's right. Let's play. I gave them a small bag. What I replaced there was a whole lotus pond."

Zhuang Fan was very speechless. He took Guanyin to the city and sat in a taxi. Guanyin looked at the signboard on the side of the road and asked in a low voice, "Isn't there a barber shop here? Where are you taking me?"

Zhuang Fan said: "This kind of shop is too small, I'm afraid I'll cut it badly for you, I attended a wedding before, and I was the best man for someone, and the new family took me to a shop to get my hair done, it's super expensive, but the haircut looks good, You don’t need to take care of it when you get up in the morning, just pawing and pawing, and I’ll take you there!”

Guanyin pursed her lips and smiled, stroked Zhuang Fan's half-growth hair, looked at his down jacket with frayed sleeves, and said, "You should cut it later, then let's go to the mall and change your clothes. "

Zhuang Fan scratched his head, thinking that he would have to take pictures on Monday when he got his certificate, and he could dress up a bit, and said, "Sure, let's go shopping, and you can buy some more clothes. Running around the house in old robes, I have to buy them a few more!"

Guanyin smiled and said: "If you want to buy it, there will be more. The elders of the family will also have to buy it, especially when it is snowing. Although the others didn't come, maybe the red leaves will arrive sometime. I think you have to prepare for it." on."

Zhuang Fan took out his mobile phone, checked the balance in the expense account, grinned, and said, "Go ahead, I'll bleed a lot today!"

Guanyin laughed and said, "Why spend that, what about the ones that Pippi brought back for you before? Spend them all first!"

Zhuang Fan was unwilling to respond, but Guanyin took his hand, squeezed it, and said: "You say you don't mind!"

Zhuang Fan sighed and said, "Okay then, spend those first!"

Guanyin was overjoyed and said, "Today is all spent!"

Zhuang Fan covered his chest: Stomach hurts!

At the end of the day, Zhuang Fan and Guanyin didn't return home until it was dark. As soon as they entered the door, student Zhuang let out a ouch, dropped the shopping bag in his hand, and slapped it straight on the sofa.

He said in his heart that everyone said that making money is tiring, but he didn't realize until today that spending money is also very hard! !

Both Wukong and Bajie ran over to see Master, and whispered: "Master, what's the matter with you?"

Guanyin carried all the shopping bags to the living room refreshed, and said, "Your master is tired, Wukong, rub your waist for your master, and Wu can beat your master's legs for you!"

Wukong and Bajie were shocked at the same time. When they traveled west to learn Buddhist scriptures, the master was not so tired after walking for a day. He could still cook for them during the rest. Wukong asked cautiously: "Master, do you take Master?" Uncle is going to subjugate the demon? Why are you so tired?"

Zhuang Fan, who was sore all over, asked his apprentice to hold him down. Hearing this, he wanted to cry, but he said tremblingly: "Going shopping is much more tiring than fighting demons! Master is getting old and can't do it!"

Unexpectedly, Ba Jie cleverly pulled the stiff muscles on Zhuang Fan's calf, causing Zhuang Fan to groan in pain, and tears came out along the way.

Avalokitesvara placed the shopping bags and started tidying them up. Hearing Zhuang Fan's screams, he shook his head and said, "You have lost your primordial purple energy, and you have lost your cultivation base. Your physical strength is too weak! Let's start training again tomorrow!" "

Zhuang Fan was so hurt that his mind was confused, so he could do whatever Guanyin said.

The two little ones gave the master a good meal, and fell asleep on the sofa like the dough that Zhuang Fan had kneaded.

Wukong leaned on his chin, sat on a small stool, and sighed: "Uncle, Master's physique is really bad. Although it is healthier than ordinary people, it is incomparable to the past. If the world is separated from the mortal world today, the physical condition of the master is really poor. There is no fairy spirit in the mortal world, can master practice again?"

Avalokitesvara was holding a small ticket and a calculator crackling to settle the accounts. Hearing this, he said, "Didn't your elder brother say that he threw out the primordial purple qi again? This mortal world is once again nourished by the primordial purple qi. The fairy spirit will reappear naturally, maybe after your master, there will be practitioners in this mortal world again."

Wukong nodded, and said: "That's fine, self-cultivation is better than passively accepting the purple energy to wash away, the foundation is stronger, so starting tomorrow, I will urge Master to practice!"

Avalokitesvara said: "No, I'll come! Your master had his own set of exercises, which are very suitable for him, and I know it very well. You should have fun, don't worry."

Monkey and Bajie giggled, you poked me and I poked you, being naughty there.

After finishing the calculations, Guanyin found that she hadn't spent all her money today, and had a few thousand yuan left. She sighed and said, "It's still a lot of money to buy a house!"

He gathered the things together, put away those to be mailed home, put away those for Hongye and the others first, and said: "Wukong, these belong to your brothers, take them. Wash the clothes before wearing them, and read the instructions for use. Ask me if you don’t understand!”

Wukong and Bajie came over to take a look, and saw all kinds of clothes and objects, in four copies, pajamas, pajamas, toothbrushes, kettles, backpacks... everything, but the colors and styles are slightly different. In addition, there is a separate set , the color should be a little lighter, and it is also very bright. It looks like it is prepared for caramel cake.

Bajie said: "Oh, the second senior brother and the junior junior brother don't know when they will come. When they come, the four of us will go out in the same clothes. Others will know that we are a family, Dorafeng!"
