Chapter 40: Prepare an Extra Copy
In the state of mind of Lingtai, a wisp of smoke was rising above the kitchen.
At this time, Niu Yi was fanning the stove pit, causing the firewood to burn more and more vigorously, and constantly making crackling sounds.
Niu Yi watched very seriously. When it comes to cooking, controlling the heat is extremely important. Often, if it is a little off, the taste will be very different.
After making sure that the firewood in the stove pit was burning thoroughly and met his expectations, Niu Yi did not stop.
He quickly scooped out a handful of bean sprouts from the bucket, put them into the large iron pot on the other side of the stove, added several seasonings collected and ground from the back mountain, and began to stir-fry them seriously.
After a while, when a strong aroma came from the pot, Niu Yi directly picked up the porcelain plate beside him and put the food in.
Then, Niu Yi looked at the big iron pot covered with a wooden lid on the other side, sniffed it gently, and a smile appeared on his face.
When Niu Yi quickly took off the lid of the iron pot beside him, a burst of steam with a rich aroma of rice suddenly rose up.
As the steam dissipated, the white rice in the pot, with each grain distinct and as smooth as warm white jade, suddenly appeared in front of Niu Yi.
"Hey, it's done~"
"As expected, the food cooked in this stove and the big iron pot is the most delicious."
Niu Yi picked up the rice spoon and porcelain bowl beside him and poured the rice into them.
Afterwards, Niu Yi placed the porcelain bowl of rice and the porcelain plate of bean sprouts on a tray, placed bamboo chopsticks on the tray, and walked straight towards the central hall carrying the tray.
After Niu Yi entered the central hall, he placed the tray of food in his hand on the table in front of the tablet, bowed to the tablet of the ancestor, and then turned and left.
Since the day when the food was harvested, Niu Yi cooked the first meal. He thought that although the meal was simple, he should still show respect to the ancestors, so he took a bowl of rice and a plate of vegetables and offered them in front of the ancestor's tablet.
Unexpectedly, when Niu Yi came back in the evening, he was surprised to find that the food in front of the ancestral tablet had disappeared, leaving only porcelain bowls and porcelain plates with some vegetable juice on them, which made him very surprised.
From then on, after Niu Yi prepared meals every day, he would give priority to serving them to the ancestor and send them to the central hall.
After leaving the central hall, Niu Yi went straight back to the kitchen, served the rice and dishes, and started eating in the kitchen.
The soybean sprouts that were just picked and washed were served with fragrant white rice. Although simple, the dish made by Niu Yi was full of fragrance.
Especially in this kitchen, the faint smell of burning firewood mixed with the aroma of food, the unique aroma made Niu Yi very comfortable.
Three meals a day, firewood, rice, oil and salt, this is the life of the world.
It was also the most familiar and favorite scent of his childhood in his previous life.
It seemed that because of his daily work in the spiritual state of mind, Niu Yi's appetite became huge. A large pot of rice and vegetables was completely eaten by Niu Yi without any waste.
After eating, Niu Yi picked up the hoe and shovel outside the door and continued to prepare for the afternoon work.
Three months passed in the outside world, but in Lingtai's mind, Niu Yi was busy for nine months.
During this period, he completely reclaimed the wasteland on the back mountain, planting rice, wheat and various vegetable seeds that he also found from the back mountain. He also planted flowers in the flower garden.
While cultivating the land and sowing seeds, after nine months, the granary was finally no longer empty and was filled with a lot of food.
Moreover, in Lingtai's state of mind, it is like spring on the top of Mount Jindou all year round, and crops can be planted continuously.
"I don't know if it will come today~"
When passing by the granary, Niu Yi thought for a moment, then walked in, took a handful of rice and put it in his arms, then continued walking towards the vegetable garden.
As soon as he entered the vegetable garden, Niu Yi was shocked and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Sure enough, it's here."
"Giggle~"
In Niu Yi's vegetable garden, a very handsome rooster with colorful tail feathers and a fiery red crown was constantly patrolling the garden. From time to time, it would quickly lower its head, pick up the insects in the garden in its mouth, and swallow them in one gulp.
Niu Yi had seen this kind of chicken in the library some time ago. It was a kind of spiritual bird, an extremely rare five-colored precious chicken. The eggs laid by this chicken were extremely delicious and full of spiritual energy, making them the best eggs. Even in the high heavens, there were people who specially raised these five-colored precious chickens.
Seven days ago, he entered the spiritual state of mind. As soon as he arrived at the vegetable garden, he found the colorful chicken pecking at insects in the vegetable garden.
But the five-colored chicken was extremely alert and flew away quickly when it saw him approaching.
It was not until so many days had passed that he seemed to feel that Niu Yi really had no ill intentions, and he slowly let down his guard, but he still kept a safe distance from Niu Yi.
"Giggle."
As if sensing Niu Yi's arrival, the five-colored chicken tilted its head to look at Niu Yi twice, then continued to peck at its food.
Niu Yi found it a little funny. This five-colored chicken was obviously quite intelligent. Every time it saw him, it seemed to have no defenses, but in fact it still did not trust him. It pecked at him and then walked away.
He didn't have any thoughts about the five-colored chicken. There were many creatures in the back mountain, but they were all ordinary animals and would never approach the Taoist temple.
However, the appearance of this colorful chicken surprised him a little.
For Niu Yi, this colorful chicken only pecks at insects after entering the vegetable garden and does not harm his vegetables. This is like a free pest control worker for him.
Secondly, if this colorful treasure chicken could stay here, it would be able to alleviate the loneliness in his spiritual state. Just looking at this treasure chicken was extremely pleasing to the eyes.
"Ha~"
Niu Yi chuckled, scattered the rice in his arms on the ground not far away, and then carried the hoe to continue weeding in the field.
"Giggle."
When the colorful chicken heard the sound, it immediately raised its head and looked at the place where Niu Yi had scattered the rice, its eyes lighting up.
It glanced in the direction of Niu Yi, then continued to peck at the insects, but the direction of its pecking changed again, and it moved towards the rice.
Niu Yi was still busy hoeing the ground, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He was extremely confident in the rice he had grown with his careful care. Didn't you see that even the founder of the family always finished his work every day?
Moreover, the rice he found from the back mountain was not ordinary white rice, but spiritual rice with a faint spiritual energy, which was tempting enough for a spiritual bird like the Five-Colored Treasure Chicken.
Considering that this colorful rooster kept him company and relieved his fatigue, and also removed insects every day and never harmed his vegetables, he gave it some spiritual rice as a reward.
In the evening, Niu Yi glanced at the setting sun and walked out of the vegetable garden. He bent down and used a small shovel to scrape the dirt off his shoes and hoe before stopping.
"Giggle."
Hearing the call of the five-colored rooster, Niu Yi turned his head and saw that the five-colored rooster was looking at him. The rooster's head seemed to move slightly, and then it flapped its wings and flew towards the back mountain.
"Is this a thank you?"
Niu Yi looked at the flying five-colored rooster with some surprise. The five colorful tail feathers fluttered in the afterglow of the sun, looking particularly gorgeous.
After a while, when the five-colored chicken had flown back into the mountains and disappeared, Niu Yi turned around with a smile and walked towards the Taoist temple.
Niu Yi put the pickaxe and shovel back into the utility room, washed his hands in a basin of water nearby, and then came to the central hall to collect the dishes.
"what?"
But what surprised Niu Yi was that as soon as he looked at the table, he saw something pressing under the empty porcelain bowl.
Niu Yi quickly stepped forward and moved the porcelain bowl away, only to see a piece of white paper underneath.
Niu Yi was surprised and picked up the white paper, only to see some neat and handsome big characters written on it.
"Make an extra copy."
Niu Yi was a little confused at first when he looked at the handwriting on the white paper, but when he saw the empty porcelain bowl on the table next to him, and remembered that the paper was pressed under the porcelain bowl, he suddenly realized.
