Tang Seng is a cook

After spending another day in the city, Zhuang Fan spent all his money. He ordered a lot of charcoal, firewood, rice, oil and salt, sauce, vinegar, tea cakes, pots and pans, and other utensils from various shops, in case of the cold wind in winter. Blowing my face, I also bought Gala oil to prevent freezing, and ordered a lot of new clothes inside and outside for the three masters and apprentices, and bought some waterproof linoleum.

Because the Bodhisattva stopped eating meat, eggs, and milk, Zhuang Fan ordered [-] catties of dried tofu from a tofu shop in the city to give his master and apprentice protein supplements, and he bought it himself. A lot of soybeans and a small stone mill. I plan to grind soy milk for drinking if I eat a lot of vegetarian dishes. If I have enough time, I can make some tofu nao. Anyway, they are packed together in storage beads, and they will not feel heavy.

Many stores have agreed to deliver goods and check out today. Zhuang Fan piled up all kinds of miscellaneous things in the house in order to collect and sort them. The little apprentice instructed her to go around and around, and finally Ao Yu was so tired that she gave up and turned into a three-headed body lying on the bed and pretending to be dead.

When Wukong finished delivering the letter and came back from the City Lord's Mansion, Zhuang Fan was almost done. He saw his apprentice's mouth was red and swollen, and his eye circles were red. Looking pitifully, he asked, "What's the matter?" Ao Yu also jumped out of bed Standing up, hey hey hey ran over to care about his elder brother.

The monkey blushed, embarrassed to say that he ate it secretly, so he said: "I met a small fruit on the road, it was red and cute, I tasted one, it might be poisonous, that's all."

Zhuang Fan suspected that his apprentice had encountered a chili pepper, but it was not easy to poke the monkey's small scar, so he didn't ask much, but Ao Yu leaned over and said very loyally: "Brother, next time you meet that little fruit, tell me, I will Help you avenge it and pull it up by the roots!" Then he asked Wukong if he wanted to take an elixir to detoxify.

Aoyu's childish words made the monkey dumbfounded. Wukong touched his junior brother's little head, took out a fist-sized, very pure sapphire from his pocket, and stuffed it to Aoyu, saying, "Thank you, brother, this is for you, take it Let's play!" Ao Yu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped!

This gemstone has not been polished yet, but it can be seen that it is flawless as a whole, and the color is pure. It is a particularly beautiful indigo blue. Looking for Master, Zhuang Fan thought he didn't dare to accept it, and just wanted to say "Brother gave it, take it", but Ao Yu yelled: "Master, Master is not good! Brother is going to rob! Let's run away!" !"

Zhuang Fan couldn't help laughing, and the monkey was also angry. He pinched Ao Yu and picked him up, rubbing the hair on his chin against Ao Yu's chubby face: "Why did you rob me, senior brother? Where are you going with Master?"

Aoyu giggled, grabbed Wukong's ear, and whispered next to his ear: "Brother, are you really going to rob Wang Yuanwai's house in this city? People have said that he is the number one in this city." Rich! Only his family can have such a big gem!" Didn't you rob his house just to avenge me?

Wukong didn't remember who Wang Yuanwai was at all, and scratched the tip of Aoyu's little nose: "Little villain, do you still need to rob your brother? This is your brother's own stuff, dug out from Huaguo Mountain, you just put your heart on it." Put it back in your little fat belly!"

The monkey poked Aoyu's chubby belly and found it felt good, so he poked it a few more times. Aoyu was afraid of ticklish, and jumped up like a small fish in his arms. Wukong was afraid that he would fall, so he poked him. Putting him down, Ao Yudeng ran to the master to present the treasure: "Look, master! Brother give it to me!"

Said it was for the master to see, but the two chubby hands held the gem tightly, so Zhuang Fan scratched the little apprentice's double chin, and said with a smile: "Master saw it, it's so beautiful! Thank you, brother?"

Ao Yu grinned and said, "Brother, who am I?" But after a while, he still rubbed and rubbed, hugging the gemstone to Wukong's side, and whispered: "Brother, thank you!"

The monkey was sitting and helping the master to fold the clothes. When he lowered his head, he saw Ao Yu staring at him with bright eyes. His little face was serious and nervous. It was too cute. He kissed "Bo Chi" on the forehead, which made Ao Yu blush with embarrassment, jumped down, and ran away with his short legs.

Zhuang Fan called him from behind: "Ao Yu, we will set off before dawn tomorrow morning, are you going to say goodbye to the children?"

Ao Yu showed her head from behind the screen: "Master, I want to give each of them a gift, is that okay?"

Zhuang Fan knew that his apprentice was a local tyrant, so he said without turning his head: "Don't give away anything that is too expensive. Anything else is free. If you need to buy it, ask your senior brother for the money." Raise it, Yuzu!

Sure enough, Ao Yu squatted on the porch, counted his small coffers, and found that the cheapest one was his bag of colorful pearls, but that time he lost the game of marbles with the kids, and the grandparents in the alley took the money. Looking at everyone, I sent back a lot of beads, which proved that these things also belonged to the valuables in Master's mouth.

Master said, this thing is in the mortal world, and one piece is priceless. Giving it to ordinary people among mortals is to bring trouble to others, let alone giving it away in the whole alley. It is not impossible that everyone in the Hutong died because of this.

What about it?Ao Yu wrinkled the chubby face into a bun, slapped his butt, and went to find his senior brother.

Zhuang Fan was also holding the monkey to discuss things at the moment. He took out the super gorgeous brocade cassock, unfolded it for the monkey to see, and asked, "Wukong, maybe you can use monkey hair to conjure up an identical cassock?" ?”

Wukong didn't know what the master was going to do, so he smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this!" After pulling out the monkey hair and blowing on it, he turned into a cassock that was half the same in his hand!

Zhuang Fan put away the real one and went to see the fake one in the monkey's hand. He saw that the room was filled with red light and a thousand pieces of auspicious color. He was full of praise, and asked again: "How long can it last?"

The monkey scratched his head, and said: "If I don't retract the hair, the cassock will not change, and the mortal water, fire and weapons will not hurt, but if I encounter gods and goblins, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it with real fire."

Zhuang Fan said to himself: "It doesn't matter, even if we encounter fire and water, I'm afraid we will have gone far by then." He also asked: "Wukong, I will give your hair to the master, is it possible?"

The monkey said: "What is a hair, it is worthy of the master's solemnity, this disciple remembers it!"

Zhuang Fan put the fake cassock in the suitcase outside for another use.

The two masters and apprentices were gathering their burdens. Ao Yu ran in and grabbed his elder brother's arm, wanting Wukong to accompany him to the street to buy some pastries and sugar cakes, and distribute them to his friends. Jewelry and jade can not be given away, they can be bought on the street. Food and drink delivery is always available.

A few days ago, Master came back from the street and bought him a pack of pine nut candies. The kids were so envious, Ao Yu evenly divided the pine nut candies.Because Zhuang Fan was afraid that Ao Yu would eat too much sugar and tooth decay, he didn't buy much in total, barely enough, and Zhang Pangpang even sent his share back to his two-year-old little brother. Pangpang ate a piece of candy, and he had just tasted a little sweetness.

Naturally, Wukong responded to every request, and just as everything was packed, Zhuang Fan brought over a few bags for Monkey and Aoyu, told them to put them away, and then watched them put their clothes on and put on their shoes. Only then did the two apprentices go out.

Houzi and Aoyu are not afraid of the cold, if one is not paying attention, he may run out in unlined clothes, especially Aoyu, who has been wandering in the alley in a small jacket these days, and everyone who lives here knows that he is supernatural, and they are no strangers to it , but if the two of them go shopping, it's better to dress similar to everyone else, otherwise it will inevitably scare people and attract crowds.

Zhuang Fan didn't know that although Houzi didn't spend much time in the city, after the past few days, there were not many people in this small town who didn't know the three of them, the master and the apprentice.

Monkey carried Ao Yu to the street, Ao Yu had already inquired about the most high-end pastry shop and the sweetest candy shop in the city, as soon as he said it, Wu Kong knew which one it was, walked along the shortcut, and arrived in a few steps .

Ao Yu was very surprised, and said: "How did you know how to go this way? Last time, Master didn't know and led me around a long way!"

The monkey was proud of himself, but he said: "What's so rare, the brothers have explored this city several times, and it's hard to remember the roads!"

Ao Yu flattered his senior brother fiercely: "Senior brother is really amazing!"

The monkey smiled and said: "It's useless, Master said, I won't buy you too much candy."

Ao Yu whispered in his senior brother's ear: "Senior brother, master is lying, I have never heard of a dragon that eats too much sugar and has a toothache!"

Wukong said: "That's because you have little knowledge!"

Ao Yu was discouraged, she drooped her little head on his senior brother's shoulder angrily, and fell silent.

When he arrived at the pastry shop, the monkey asked Ao Yu how many copies he would like to give away. Ao Yu stretched out a palm and three fingers, looked at his brother eagerly and said, "Twelve copies!"

Monkey was happy, and said to the shopkeeper: "Choose four of your delicious snacks and make eight servings. Then pack all the dim sum and make four servings!"

Ao Yu was overjoyed, and hugged his senior brother's neck happily.

As soon as Hou Zi and Ao Yu entered the door, the waiter in the shop recognized the two holy monks and high disciples. He did not make a fuss, did not look too much, and quickly wrapped up the snacks, and wrapped a piece separately with clean wrapping paper. The freshly baked cherries Bi Luolai handed to Ao Yu, and said with a smile, "You two bought a lot, this is a nod, give it to the young master!"

This flattery was so wonderful, Ao Yu took it, first fed his senior brother a bite, and then slowly gnawed on it by himself, the monkey asked: "How much?"

The shop waiter reported the number, and the monkey's eyes widened in shock, "What?"

The waiter in the shop was taken aback, and quickly explained: "We have high mountains and a long road here, and the materials are rare, so what we sell is more expensive. Originally, you bought a lot, so it should be cheaper, but the shopkeeper is not here, and the small ones can't make decisions!"

The monkey said: "It's not that it's too expensive. Last time I bought it elsewhere, the cake was not as good as yours. It cost me three or four times the price. Yours is too cheap, so you're losing money, right?"

The waiter in the shop choked, and looked up at the furnishings in the shop. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a loss-making business. After thinking about it, he said cautiously: "Young master, didn't you meet a black shop last time?"

The monkey said: "What is a black shop? His house also lights up."

The waiter in the shop wiped his sweat and explained: "A black shop is a shop that rips off customers!" Afraid that the monkey would not understand, he added, "It's like falsely quoting high prices, buying and selling by force, selling fake goods, and shoddying good ones. All the shops are called black shops!"

The monkey's face froze, and he remembered that among the things he bought back to Huaguoshan, there was a luxurious big bed. After taking it out for a while, the little monkeys hadn't been lying on it for a long time, and the bed fell apart with a loud crash. The children picked up the broken bed board and looked at it, only to see that the board is very thin, and they also said that this bed is for the delicate Miss Jiao to sleep on, but anyone who is slightly heavier will fall apart when lying on it, I didn't pay attention to it at the time , Thinking about it at this moment, I was deceived by someone and entered a black shop!

The monkey came out out of anger, but heard Ao Yu say: "So this is a black shop, uncle, thank you, if it weren't for you, my brother and I would not know!"

The shop clerk continued to smile: "The two young masters are pure-minded people, so they never cared about such dirty things. If you spend more time in the world in the future, you will know everything!"

Ao Yu nodded the chubby chin and said: "Yeah!" Turning around, he said to Wukong: "Brother, thank you, uncle!" Ao Yu has been led out by Zhuang Fan these days, pretending to be tender It was a joy, and Zhuang Fan taught him to be very polite, just because the master said, good children have candy.

Although Aoyu also has money in his pocket, but for some reason, stealing it always feels like something, and the candy rewarded by Master is very sweet!

The monkey clicked his tongue, thinking that I called him uncle, how many generations have passed, but Ao Yu called him brother, which made the monkey's heart soften, and he said: "Thank you for your advice!"

The waiter waved his hands again and again: "Thank you inappropriately or not, it's nothing!"

Monkey picked up the pastry, paid the price, and gave ten more copper coins. The waiter quickly waved his hand and refused, "In our shop, we can't take tips from customers!"

The monkey said: "Let's just give it to the store. I just hope that a store like yours will make a lot of money and keep it open for a long time!"

As for the shop that lied to the monkeys, I hope they will not be able to open for a day!The Great Sage gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart!

Upon hearing this, the waiter in the shop happily accepted the ten copper coins, and was happier than accepting the pastry money.When the shopkeeper came back, the waiter told the shopkeeper about it, and the shopkeeper was really happy, and set up an altar for the ten copper coins, burning incense three times a day, and a few plates of fruit snacks, which was more important than worshiping the god of wealth. Be more diligent.

The two brothers went out and went to the candy store again. Same as last time, there were four delicious candies in a pack, eight packs were packed, and they were all packed separately, and four packs were given to Ao Yu.

Hou Zi paid attention to it, and sure enough, the price quoted by the waiter in the shop was much cheaper than that in the city, and he also wrapped a few pieces of soft candy for Ao Yu, which made the Great Sage very depressed.

When he got home, Ao Yu went from house to house to bid farewell to his friends, carrying pastries and candies.He bought too much, and the elder brother seized it mercilessly, and he could only eat it with the master's consent, but Ao Yu didn't know about it, and ran to play happily.

Wukong was full of anger and depression, and when he got home, he nestled on the bed, lying sulking.

Zhuang Fan was sitting on the bed and sewing the real gold hoop into the gold-embellished hat while the bear boy Aoyu was not at home. When Wukong came in, he just finished the last few stitches. After calling the master, he lay there silently. He quickly sewed up a few stitches, put away the things, and came to care for the apprentice.

The monkey lay on the master's lap, and said what happened before in a dejected manner. Zhuang Fan laughed, took off the golden hoop for his apprentice, took out a comb to comb his hair, and said cheerfully: "It's just that I was cheated of some money, what's the matter?" ! My apprentice is not such a fussy person!"

The monkey said sullenly, "How could they deceive people so confidently?"

Monkey doesn't mind money, what he cares about is the ugliness and evil of people's hearts.

Zhuang Fan also sighed, and thought to himself, where is this, silly monkey, if he goes to the modern age with such a simple heart, he will either be cheated to death or pissed off to death, so he said: "There is nothing else but greed. It is to make people lose all conscience and strip off all skin, and even this kind of person will completely hypnotize himself in the end, and he doesn't feel that he is lying."

They tell lies without changing their expressions, what is it to sell at high prices, they will also sell fake goods, things that don’t exist, and even things that don’t belong to them at all. Not without a rake.

The monkey said angrily: "Master, they will all be punished if they go to the underworld after death?"

Zhuang Fan smiled: "Yes, in this world, I will. If you don't repent, you will cheat people out of greed, and you will go to the underworld after death, and you will be tried by the judge. If you are guilty, you will be punished, and if you are innocent, you will be reincarnated."

Monkey snorted angrily, "Are mortals all this bad?"

Zhuang Fan just laughed, and brushed the monkey's hair leisurely: "Silly boy, how can you beat everyone to death with one blow?" He asked softly, "Did you not meet a good person in that big city?" ?”

The monkey thought for a while and recalled: "It is also possible. I met an old man who sold fried chestnuts. I bought all his chestnuts and threw him [-] Wen. He chased me for half a street and finally took it." The ten coins left, and they said they took too much, and the chestnuts were all picked up from the mountains, so they were worthless, but the crops were not harvested this year, and there was not enough food for the family, so they had the guts to ask me for ten coins.”

This person is simple and sincere, neither greed nor possession.

Zhuang Fan didn't make a sound, the monkey thought for a while, and then said: "Also in a bookstore, I saw a flower stick that was very beautiful and fragrant. I wanted to buy it for Master. I asked the waiter for the price, and the waiter just quoted the price. The shopkeeper of his family came over and told me not to buy that one, saying that the flower lotus was for boudoir girls, and recommended others to me, saying that it was suitable for monks, and the price was much lower."

This person is a businessman who pays great attention to integrity and does not cheat.

"There's also that grocery store that sells marinated goods. When I went there, there were a few beggars around the store. The boss saw me and drove the children away in a rough voice. Later, I came out. Fearing that those children would be bullied, I wanted to give them some food, so I went to find them, and found them at the back door of the store. The very vicious-looking store owner took a big bag of food I handed it to them. I secretly followed and saw that it was just some coarse grains and a few pieces of meat, but for those little beggars, it was just perfect." It can fill the stomach, not because of the food It's so easy to be robbed, and I won't get upset because of too much fat...

This person can bear the word "good", right?Are you literally a good guy?But the stewed pig's head, stewed trotters, roasted chicken and roasted duck he sold to monkeys are very expensive!

Monkey told his master about his thoughts, and Zhuang Fan said: "Although the first two people did not do any earth-shattering benevolent deeds, they can stick to their hearts and never be greedy or possessive. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are good people. As for the last shop Boss, even though he has greed in his heart, he can still pity the poor and the weak, Master doesn't have a comprehensive understanding of this, so it's not good to judge."

People, it's complicated!

Zhuang Fanxin said that your master and I haven't lived for 30 years, yet I dare to give you a dry analysis of human nature here, apprentice, this is called driving ducks to the shelves!

He rubbed Wukong's forehead and said: "Oh Wukong, if those people who lied to you start from tonight, give up their greed and focus on being a good person, will you forgive them?"

If the monkeys are too angry and can't pass today's hurdle, it will be bad. Maybe one day when they think about it, if they catch up with the bad breath, they may roll over in a somersault and beat each other to death.

Wukong lay sprawled on the bed, stared at the curtain for a while, and said: "If they can use all the money they cheated to pity the poor and the weak, I don't care about it."

Zhuang Fan pursed his lips and smiled: "I know that my apprentice is the most open-minded!" It's done!

The listener from the underworld flicked his tail, thinking that the golden cicada can really find work for people, stood up, shook his hair, and walked out, but the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha didn't open his eyes, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Di Ting said sullenly: "Wipe your butt!" He went out to find the little ghost to give someone a dream.

That night, all those who cheated money from the Great Sage had horrible nightmares, the more they cheated, the worse the dreams, especially the wood shop owner who sold the monkey bed, he was hardly scared to death .

I had nightmares for several nights in a row, and those who didn't believe in evil couldn't stand it any longer. I used the money I cheated over the years, only more and more, and used them to do good deeds, until I spent the last penny of ill-gotten wealth , It is no longer haunted by evil spirits as soon as you close your eyes.

However, the three masters and apprentices went to bed early and passed the night without incident. Early the next morning, at dawn, Zhuang Fan rode on the body of Ao Yu who had turned into a prototype, followed by Wukong. The three masters and apprentices were in the courtyard Soar into the sky and leave quietly.

The old city lord did not get a report until noon, saying that the holy monk had left, and only left a full amount of silver taels and a letter to him on the kitchen table across the courtyard. Rice grain and vegetable money.

The old city lord opened the letter and saw that there were only a few lines of words. The holy monk thanked the old city lord and the whole city for their considerate care and hospitality in the past few days, and said that he hoped that he would take good care of his health, and that he might still pass by when he came back to learn scriptures. Here, you can also bring the letter from the city lord's nephew at that time.

In just a few sentences, the old city lord burst into tears, and he only said that he was blessed by the holy monk.

Zhuang Fan also secretly left thank-you gifts for the families of the children in the alley, but each family had half a piece of cloth and some rice grains, thanking the old people of the family for helping to take care of this bear child Ao Yu these days.

Because Aoyu ate a lot of fat cakes made by Zhang Xiaoshuan and Zhang Pangpang's grandma, and wore clothes made by her grandma, so the gift was extra thicker than other families, but it was something ordinary people could afford.

There was another person in the city who received a gift from Zhuang Fan, but it was the old doctor Rong with profound merit.

Zhuang Fan left a pair of tiger knee bones, 100 taels of silver and a health-care pill for the old doctor.This health-care pill was carefully selected by Zhuang Fan after asking the monkeys. Although it is an elixir, it has mild medicinal properties. Ordinary people will not explode and die after taking it, but it can slowly absorb the medicinal properties and strengthen the body.

I hope that the only old doctor in this city can stay in good health for the rest of his life.

The three masters and apprentices embarked on the journey again. Although the winter was getting colder and windier, Zhuang Fan was well prepared, and his daily progress was not slow. Gradually, it was deep winter, and it was snowing heavily, making the road more and more difficult. This day At last, the three masters and apprentices finally came to the Guanyin Temple near Heifeng Mountain.

The author has something to say: Little Theater

1. On the day the monk and his disciples left, the ginkgo tree in the yard finally shed its last leaf and became bald.

The person who hates the holy monk the most in the city: Ginkgo tree

Of course, you have to wait for it to transform into a human being.

2. The monkey accompanied the master to learn scriptures, and was sent by the master to Nanhai to visit Zhao Wu. Unfortunately, Nanhai has only passed a few days

Zhao Wu's roots haven't reached the deepest yet

The monkey folded his arms and looked disgusted: "Why are you growing so slowly? How many years will it take to transform?"

The little dragon girl who was thinking about eating grapes sucked her saliva and stared at her junior brother in a daze, and said, "Master said, if my junior brother wants to change form, it will take five or six hundred years!"

The monkey clicked his tongue, five or six hundred years in the South China Sea, how long has passed on the ground, the bones of the old Zhao family have all been turned into ashes!

The monkey took out the enchantment bead from his pocket, and the little dragon girl saw it at a glance, and said, "Isn't this Wuli?"

As soon as the monkey glanced at her, he kept his hands on his hands, and threw out the enchantment beads with a whistling sound, dunking Zhao Wu tightly.

Seeing the scene where the beads flashed quickly, Xiao Longnv couldn't help shouting: "Why did you adjust the time so fast! It hurts the beads so much!"

The larger the time ratio between the inside and outside of the enchantment bead, the more energy it consumes

The monkey didn't care: "My brother is the best at making these gadgets, you want me to give you some more next time!"

Xiao Longnu poohed him: "You are not needed!"

He flicked his sleeves and left.

The next day, Patriarch Bodhi saw his elder apprentice with dark circles under his eyes, went out with a smirk on his face, and came back with a smirk on his face, shaking his head: "Tsk tsk, young man, the smell is sour!"
