Chapter 206 [A Niu learned to use chopsticks]
Transfiguration is an all-round rebirth from the spirit to the body, so his fingers are agile, and there is no jerky in the movement, as if he has been a human for a long time.
Fang Chang heard the words and said with a smile:
"The beauty of the human body is that it is closer to the way of heaven, so no matter what kinds of monsters, there must be the level of transformation."
"Moreover, the benefits of this body to practice are more than that. You can feel your own spirit and thinking to see if it is much clearer and faster."
A Niu closed his eyes and felt for a while, and also found that his thinking was running far faster than before, fast and without any blockage, so he was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master, for reminding me, I didn't notice this before."
Fang Chang asked Ah Niu to tidy up in his small shed. After taking the human form, it will be easier to clean up and make the body around neater. And he went down to the cellar, took out the few sweet potatoes left, went back to the house, cut the bacon, took the dried salted fish, and went to work in the kitchen.
After entering the spring, there are more edible things in the Yunzhong Mountain, which is rich in products.
There are already a lot of ingredients in the kitchen, which are the types he collects and eats these days. There was still a kindling in the fire pit, moved it over to start a fire under the tripod, and Fang Chang started to get busy, preparing meals.
Under the ginkgo tree in front of the house, the stone table carved with a chessboard was quickly filled with dishes.
"A Niu, come over for dinner."
Fang Chang greeted.
Hearing Master's voice, Ah Niu hurried over, seeing the table full of food, he hesitated because of his previous habits: "Master, don't do this, I... go find some young grass to eat..."
"Hahahaha, how can I do that." Hearing the words, Fang Chang laughed:
"Since you have transformed, you have to live in a human way. Come sit down and taste the food in the world. Congratulations on transforming today, and you will have a drink with Master and me."
After finishing speaking, he dragged A Niu over and pressed him on the stone bench, and stuffed the chopsticks into A Niu's hand.
Due to the order of magnitude difference in strength, Ah Niu was powerless to resist, so he followed Fang Chang's instructions and sat at the table a little uneasy.
Although I have seen human beings eat before, and Fang Chang often eats at this table after going up the mountain, it is the first time for Ah Niu to sit at the table by himself.
Under Fang Chang's guidance, he practiced for a while before he started using chopsticks.
The experience of making these two small wooden sticks work successfully will not be obtained during transformation, but it does take a lot of effort to be able to use them freely. Fortunately, he has a good cultivation base, excellent control over his body, and excellent learning ability, so he can master it so quickly.
There are a variety of dishes on the table.
The bean sprouts are tender and pleasant. After frying, the stems are white and green, fragrant and tender. They are very popular vegetables in this season, regardless of the north and the south. Spring bamboo shoots are the top grade. They are sliced and fried with bacon. The method is simple but the taste is not simple. Bamboo shoots The taste of the slices is slightly crisp, the bacon is salty, fat and thin, and it is a delicacy without excessive seasoning.
Mushrooms are not living beings. They usually harvest two kinds of mushrooms at the same time, and destroy the poisonous mushrooms, lest the poisonous mushrooms have an advantage over edible mushrooms after a long time of picking. As for the edible mushrooms, he tied the unfinished parts with strings and hung them under the eaves to dry, like a string of beaded curtains, swaying in the wind.
After the fresh mushrooms are fried, they taste delicious, and depending on the variety, they have different tastes and are full of characteristics. Fang Chang likes them very much.
He also opened an altar of fruit wine, which was brewed last autumn when the fruits were abundant. It was quite successful, sweet and sour. However, because the methanol after fermentation of the peel is too high, it may not be suitable for ordinary people to drink. For practitioners like myself and A Niu, it doesn't matter.
There is no fresh meat on the table, spring is the season for mating, Fang Chang Shun Tian Shun Xin reduced the hunting of net fish.
A Niu's taste is still very vegetarian, and he is only slightly moved by the bacon slices and steamed salted fish, but he appreciates the salt, and laments that the things that were only licked for survival before have such an amazing effect in the dishes , so I have a lot of longing for the rich food in the world under the mountain that the master said.
The steamed sweet potatoes on the table are the staple food, and it is not surprising that A Niu can often eat them before he takes shape.
It was not the first time for him to drink wine. When he lived in the master's house, it seemed that due to the custom there, he had a bowl of rice wine every year when the spring plowing began, and he had tasted this kind of taste.
A Niu told Fang Chang that the sweet and sour taste reminded him of certain delicious berries.
After dinner, he stood up ahead of Fang Chang and said, "Master, I'll go wash the dishes."
"Okay, you can practice, and you won't be overwhelmed by your skills." Fang Chang nodded. He knew that as a registered disciple, he would not stay on the mountain for too long. When he went to live in the world, housework and other chores are necessary skills, " Later, we will upgrade the shed you live in a little bit, and take a look at how I can repair the house."
...
"Hey, Lao Lu, do you think it's there?"
Two people walked into the mountain, stood on the top of the first mountain, and looked around. One of the rat-headed people looked in a certain direction and asked his companion.
"I thought, it should be over there. After all, we came from a distance, and the direction is a little bit off." The other person with a thinner mouth and nose, big ears, and the surname Lu looked around and said with a frown, "It seems that The thunder and lightning in the clear sky should be over a certain high mountain. Old Tian, you have better eyesight, do you still remember the characteristics of that peak?"
The deer-headed rat man heard the words, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, recalling with great effort.
After a while, he said: "It seems that the clouds there are heavier than other places, and from a distance, there seems to be a platform-like terrain. But no matter how you say it, the strange appearance of the lightning is still above the clouds and mist, and it has a distinctive feature." Obviously, it must be a monster that is transforming into form, this is not wrong, we must not lose our manners!"
"Of course I know." Lao Lu looked around, and suddenly pointed to a place, "It must be over there, Lao Tian, look carefully, when the wind blows the trees on the mountain, halfway up the mountain behind, Is there a clifftop platform?"
"That's right!" The person called Lao Tian looked in the direction, and when the strong and sometimes weak mountain wind blows the green canopy after winter, he also saw the scene, "Look at it with me from a distance. It’s almost there.” Then he discovered the blind spot again, and exclaimed: “What a strong aura!”
"It shouldn't be too late, let's go there quickly." Lao Lu urged, "Maybe it will take a while to warm up after the transformation, and that big monster shouldn't go too far in a few days, so we don't want to miss it. As long as someone with this kind of strength is recruited, it must be a great achievement, not to mention the rich rewards, it is also very beneficial to our great cause."
Both of them had outstanding footwork. They carried light gifts over mountains and ridges, and within a short time, they arrived at the foot of that high cliff.
"The fog is suspiciously tight."
"It's okay, it doesn't seem to hurt us, don't waste time."
