World Co-Cooking

Chapter 10

The so-called sacrifice was to sacrifice the two princes alive. It was also because the Sixth and Seventh Princes were unlucky. They had encountered the Heng River bursting its banks and flooded the area. All the food was wasted. Seeing that the autumn harvest was about to arrive, the common people had long been anxious. However, there were not many true casualties. In the court, how could the nobles truly go to the common people to inspect the true situation? The false number caused an uproar in the court.

The priest said that he had calmed the anger of the Water God and asked Emperor Zhou to ask for instructions from the heavens. He also sacrificed the two princes to the Water God.

The Imperial Mausoleum was isolated from the rest of the world. By the time they heard that Emperor Zhou had been forced to this point by the priest, the two princes' corpses were probably cold.

When Zhou Fu heard the news, he was first in disbelief. In his impression, Emperor Zhou should be a very powerful emperor. How could he be controlled by the Second Prince and the priest's party?

A few days later, a strange elder wearing a strange mask paid a visit to Jiang Ziya, who lived in the center of the Imperial Mausoleum. Accompanying him were two Taoist children with identical faces. The two children were like carved jade and looked slightly younger than Zhou Fu. However, looking at their similar faces, it was not difficult to see that the three of them were related by blood.

"What a rare guest. A while ago, I heard that Fellow Xuanino was traveling in the Qin Kingdom. Now you have returned to the Zhou Dynasty so quickly." Jiang Ziya invited the elder to take a seat. A smile of meeting an old friend hung on his face. He calmly poured water for the strange elder.

The elder took off his strange mask and revealed his old face. However, the four moles on his forehead were rather shocking. They were actually the signs of a ghost mansion.

He received the tea from Jiang Ziya and had the two children sit together. He moistened his throat and said, "Don't mention it. I met an old enemy in the Qin Kingdom and was one move behind. Now that I have returned to the Zhou Dynasty to fulfill the bet, just treat it as running an errand."

"Oh?" Jiang Ziya said in surprise, "There is actually someone in the world who can trick Fellow Daoist?"

"He is a madman who seeks immortality," Xuanino said angrily. He was unwilling to talk about how he had been tricked. He turned and introduced them to Jiang Ziya. "These two children are my new medicine children. Their foundation and comprehension are not bad."

"If you say they are not bad, then their talent surpasses others," Jiang Ziya said with a smile....... "Fellow Daoist, in a while....

Hearing what he said, Xuan Wei Zi looked expectant. "I thought you wouldn't take any more disciples. I didn't expect that someone could make you break your vow."

"Master, Senior Brother Zifang has created a new dish. Please try it." Zhou Fu walked out of the room with two plates of new dishes. He saw that there was a guest at the stone table where Jiang Ziya usually sat. He asked curiously, "Master, are you entertaining a guest?"

"No matter. Xiao Fu, go add three more pairs of chopsticks," Jiang Ziya said cheerfully.

Zhou Fu complied and brought the chopsticks. The pair of children beside the new guest stared at him without blinking. Zhou Fu felt it was strange. He swept his eyes over them and felt that they seemed familiar. However, he was sure that he had never seen them before. Otherwise, how could he not have any impression of two people who had already awakened?

When Zhou Fu saw their reaction, one of the children's face turned black. The other child pulled on the sleeve of the black-faced child. Only then did he hold back his anger.

"Hahaha, his constitution is indeed outstanding." Xuanino's medical skills were outstanding. He was also an orthodox descendant of Daoism. He had his own way of recognizing people. In an instant, he had already figured out Zhou Fu's situation.

Jiang Ziya stroked his favorite long beard and said to Zhou Fu, "This is an old friend of mine. His Daoist name is Xuanino. Before he traveled, he lived in seclusion in the Ghost Valley. You can also call him Ghost Valley Mister."

Ghost Valley Mister. Isn't that Wang Xu, Gui Guzi!

The ancestor of the School of Vertical and Horizontal. He was all-knowing and extremely wise!

This shriveled old man was particularly short. Zhou Fu did not expect him to be the rumored Gui Guzi.

"Greetings, Daoist priest Xuanino." In front of the elders, Zhou Fu had always been obedient. With his white and tender face and pure temperament, Zhou Fu was the kind of obedient child that the elders especially liked.

"Greetings, little friend," Xuanino said with a smile. "Speaking of which, it's a coincidence that my two newly recruited medicine children look very similar to you."

"Fellow Daoist's physiognomy is not inferior to mine. How can you not know the relationship between these little guys?" Jiang Ziya chuckled.

Xuanino understood and smiled. He talked more about military science and mathematics with Jiang Ziya. The two of them could be said to be all-knowing and incomparable. The two little medicine children were in a daze the whole time. Even Zhou Fu, who had a huge knowledge base in his brain, could only react half a beat later. Sometimes, when they had already moved on to the next topic, Zhou Fu was still thinking about the previous topic. He listened seriously like this. Because of his high concentration, it did not take long for him to feel tired.

After that, Xuanino told Jiang Ziya that he would be traveling to Jin State. There were many mountains there, and some rare herbs grew in the deep mountains and forests.

Xuanino left with the two little medicine children and left a letter for Jiang Ziya. It was a letter that his rebellious second disciple who ran away from home sent to his master.

When he came, he happened to see that girl walking to the border of Zhou City. After helping the junior deal with some small problems, she also sent this letter.

"What did second senior sister say?"

Zhou Fu saw that Jiang Ziya did not look angry at all in the letter. Instead, he was happy and asked curiously.

"Ah?

Ah, she said she went to Tang State to play. "Jiang Ziya replied with a smile. Suddenly, he changed the topic and asked," Xiao Fu, if you want to go to the market to buy things, what do you need to bring? "

Zhou Fu was a little confused by the question. He answered naturally, "What do I need to bring?

Bring Zhao Gao. "

Jiang Ziya was speechless for a moment. After a long time, he did not speak. This made Zhou Fu a little puzzled. Could it be that he said something wrong?

After a long time, Jiang Ziya suddenly laughed at himself, "To think that I called myself the number one teacher. I never thought that I would make the most mistakes."

Zhou Fu did not understand. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ziya also called Zhang Liang over. He asked a lot of questions like what would you do if you were asked to go from Zhou City to Qin State? How would you stay in a hotel and so on.

Then Zhou Fu also found that in his living habits, Zhang Liang actually had no concept of money. Besides cooking, he did not know anything else in life.

Cooking was his hobby. The other things were done by servants since young. There was nothing wrong with that.

Therefore, in a fit of anger, Jiang Ziya ordered people to throw them in a village near the Imperial Mausoleum. He told them to stay there for seven days before they came back.

Zhou Fu felt very innocent. In fact, he knew about money!

"Senior Brother Zifang." Zhou Fu knew that he was implicated by him. He sighed helplessly. "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, you really should learn."

"Learn what?" Zhang Liang was confused. "What is Master's intention?"

"Senior Brother, we have to find a place to stay first," Zhou Fu said.

"Okay, it's only seven days. I'll go find a cave."

"Senior Brother, there are no servants here," Zhou Fu said faintly. "There are no blankets or change of clothes. Senior Brother, do you want to not bathe for seven days?

Or do we spend these seven days hunting and eating fruits? "

Zhang Liang was stunned. He lowered his head and thought seriously for a while. Then, he asked Zhou Fu, "What should I do?"

"We have to find a way to stay in an inn. However, staying in an inn costs money. Right now, we don't have a single coin, and this village doesn't look rich." It was hard to say whether there was an inn or not. Zhou Fu said all he could and rubbed his hungry stomach.

Thus, the two of them ran to the village to find out more about the situation and help the villagers. The villagers were poor to begin with, but their simple and hospitable customs made them extend a helping hand to the two youths from outside. An old couple who had lost their only child provided them with a house that could shelter them from the wind and rain. The premise was that they could gather enough firewood for a month.

Zhou Fu could do this work. Although he was small, he was very strong. Not to mention chopping firewood, he felt that he could even carry a large cauldron with his strength.

As for the delicate Zhang Liang, he couldn't chop firewood. As for cooking … In the village, it was good enough that they were poor enough to have enough food to eat. How could they find the various ingredients for cooking?

In the end, Zhang Liang ran to teach children. The fees he earned were only enough for the two of them to buy some coarse biscuits that were just enough to fill their stomachs. The taste was indescribable.

If they wanted to take a bath, they ran to the stream to wash. Without a change of clothes, they borrowed old clothes from the old people. The two of them felt embarrassed.

Zhou Fu felt that they couldn't go on like this. He took the initiative to find Zhang Liang to discuss how to spend the next six days.

At this time, Zhang Liang was wearing clothes made of coarse hemp. His movements didn't hide the temperament of a scholar. He attracted a group of young farmers who secretly looked at him and whispered to each other.

Zhang Liang wondered why these women kept looking at him. What were they talking about when they gathered together?

So, driven by curiosity, he made a big mistake. He blushed and asked the young women how they felt about him. This made the group of young women who had been eyeing him covetously for a long time brighten their eyes. They looked at him with passionate and hot eyes.

The handsome man who had been eyeing them for a long time, who they thought was an unattainable person, now blushed and asked them how they felt about him. What did this mean?

Zhang Liang was shocked by this unforeseen event and took a step back. The hair on his back stood on end. He thought to himself that things weren't good.

Then he was surrounded by a group of young women. They expressed their love, pulled his clothes, touched his face, and soon he was in a sorry state.

Among them, a tall and slender woman domineeringly pushed aside those infatuated women one by one and rescued Zhang Liang from the encirclement. She glared at these women coldly and said, "Don't touch me again. What are you doing?!"

Zhang Liang was just about to thank her when he heard the woman put her hands on her hips. Like a tigress protecting her food, she roared: "I, Cui Hua, have taken a fancy to this person. Who dares to steal my man?"

Zhang Liang was too frightened. He was lifted and pulled by the woman and suddenly found that the woman was pulling him like a chicken.

Zhou Fu's arrival happened to save him from the fire and water. Zhang Liang felt for the first time that his junior brother was so cute and charming. He was simply a big savior!

This incident left a deep psychological shadow in Zhang Liang's heart. From then on, he avoided the tigress. He thought that he was proficient in all kinds of knowledge, but he didn't think that he would be in such a sorry state in front of these young women.

Zhang Liang deeply expressed that being loved by so many young women was also a kind of pressure. He sighed and said: "If there is anything in this world that I don't understand, it would be girls."

Zhou Fu was speechless. He had a deeper understanding of his senior brother's narcissism.
