Jiang Yanfeng looked up at the sky, then said: "The immortal has left, everyone can get water. But I have one more thing to say... In the future, we must strengthen the discipline of children. Although the immortal does not strictly require etiquette, we cannot behave disrespectfully and offensively just because the immortal is kind."
"Yes, the village chief is right."
The villagers were all scared, especially the families with children. They quickly taught their children to behave well in front of the immortal and not to be unruly. Then they kept saying, "Thanks to the immortal for saving our lives, we should learn to be grateful, understand?"
"You must be respectful to the immortal, otherwise I won't give you eggs to eat in the future."
The younger children were ignorant and said they had taken note of it for the sake of the eggs.
The villagers dispersed, preparing to use the water in their own water tanks first, and then come here to fetch water.
Next, the villagers began to take a bath and wash clothes.
Luo Mingyue stopped watching the movements of the little people, and she flew on her sword again to find her second disciple.
At this moment, not only Murong Shi was in the kitchen, but also the eldest disciple Mu Lingyan was there.
The disciples in the Qi Refining Stage do not practice fasting, nor do they know how to refine fasting pills, so they still need to eat.
——Occasionally, when the master is in a good mood, he will reward the eldest brother with some fasting pills, and then the eldest brother will distribute them to everyone. But recently the master has not given any pills, so everyone can only eat every meal.
Since Murong Shi has the best cooking skills, he cooks every meal.
The other disciples would not be idle either. They took turns to clean up the dishes, wash the dishes, find various ingredients, chop wood, boil water, etc. It was no different today. After finishing their work, everyone returned to their own residences one after another, leaving only Mu Lingyan who had not left.
Mu Lingyan asked, "Second Junior Brother, everyone has finished their meal, why are you still cutting vegetables? Moreover, you cut the vegetables into such small pieces, it doesn't look like they are for us to eat."
Murong Shi said, "This is for feeding ants to Master."
"Feed the ants?"
Mu Lingyan was speechless. It was not enough for the master to raise foxes, but he also raised ants?
Murong Shi nodded and said, "Well, I will prepare to cut a few more vegetables for future use."
Mu Lingyan thought for a moment and said, "Then let me help you. I know how to cut vegetables."
Mu Lingyan took the kitchen knife from the side and asked while cutting the eggplant: "Can ants eat raw eggplant?"
Murong Shi said: "I don't know, once everything is chopped up, throw all the vegetables into the pot and cook a pot of vegetable porridge."
Mu Lingyan asked curiously, "Should we add some seasoning? Ants shouldn't be able to tell good from bad. Even if they don't like it, they won't speak human language and complain to Master."
Luo Mingyue, who was at the door, heard this and thought to herself that she had actually forgotten the seasoning.
Murong Shi replied, "Put less sugar. Ants like sweet things. I also prepared a small jar of honey. At noon, Master came here and took away the goat milk... I don't know how much she wanted to feed the ants. That was a full basin of goat milk, which should be enough to feed them for a long time."
Mu Lingyan was surprised, "Master came here at noon?"
Murong Shi nodded.
Mu Lingyan hurriedly asked: "Did she cause you any trouble or give you any trouble?"
"No."
Mu Lingyan asked again: "Did he hit you? Are there any injuries on your body? Take off your clothes and let me see."
Murong Shi finished cutting the broccoli in his hand and said, "No, Master just asked me to cut vegetables and eggs."
Mu Lingyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It feels like Master's behavior has become increasingly strange recently... She hasn't hit me this month, and I don't know when she's going to do it."
Murong Shi said: "Big Brother, isn't this a good thing? Why do you feel like you are expecting Master to beat you?"
Mu Lingyan said worriedly, "You don't understand. Master must find a reason to whip me every month. Some time ago, I took the initiative to apologize and said that I fed the cloud fox cub to death, but Master didn't do anything. It doesn't matter if she beats me. Anyway, I'm used to it. I'm afraid that she has been suppressing her temper all the time, and one day she will suddenly explode and beat you..."
Murong Shi's hands trembled, "Big Brother, don't talk about this. I'm already scared."
Mu Lingyan peeled the eggplant, chopped it into small pieces the size of millet grains, and filled a bowl with it. "Second Junior Brother, this is too much. Could it be that Master is raising giant ants?"
Murong Shi shook his head. "I don't know either. I just feel that Master seems to care about ants very much. He was willing to share chicken thighs with ants at noon... It seems that Master treats ants as if they were human beings. So I'd better prepare some more in case of emergency."
The most important thing is that Master asked him to cook millet porridge in the evening. He was worried that Master would want something else besides millet porridge, and then he would order him to make it on the spot...
Murong Shi's heart is relatively fragile, and he doesn't want his master to be around to "supervise" him, so he plans to make more in the afternoon. If his master doesn't want it, he will eat it himself.
Next, Murong Shi fried an egg and cooked a bowl of noodles.
We had fried noodles with soybean sauce for lunch. There was half a bowl of soybean sauce left, which was clean and just right to be mixed with the noodles. Then, as usual, the noodles were cut into small pieces.
Mu Lingyan said: "Let me cut it, you just need to cook."
Mu Lingyan held a kitchen knife in each hand. There were scrambled eggs on one chopping board and fried noodles with soybean paste on the other. After cutting, he put them into two plates.
Murong Shi also made sweet and sour pork tenderloin and lotus seed tofu.
By the way, he instructed the senior brother to cut a banana, an apple and a soft peach respectively.
The two of them were so busy that they didn't even notice Luo Mingyue walking in quietly.
Luo Mingyue saw that some of the plates were still steaming, so she quickly put them into her storage space so that they would still be hot next time she took them out.
Mu Lingyan finished cutting the fruit and put it on the plate, but in the blink of an eye he discovered that the plate was gone.
He turned his head and saw, "Master!"
Mu Lingyan is the male protagonist, with a strong heart, and soon his expression returned to normal, "Greetings to the Master."
Murong Shi was just about to cut two more buns when he heard the voice of his eldest senior brother. He quickly turned around and lowered his head, saying in a trembling voice, "Master... Master, how are you?"
The second apprentice was too timid, so Luo Mingyue decided to praise him more.
"Murong Shi, you did a great job. You don't have to cook the vegetable porridge. Just give me some seasonings, especially salt, sugar, and other ingredients for cooking."
"Yes, Master."
With the senior brother here to keep an eye on things, Murong Shi was not so scared and put salt, sugar, vinegar and other items in different bottles.
Seeing that he was working hard, Luo Mingyue decided to reward him, "Cook me some millet porridge now, and you don't have to bring me food for the next five days."
Rewarding Murong Shi with a five-day holiday, I am such a kind master.
As expected, Murong Shi was immediately excited when he heard it, "Master, I will make porridge for you right away!"
"good."
Luo Mingyue nodded, and then ordered: "Ling Yan, go find me some stones."
