The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 325 The Daily Life of the Demon Suppressor

Although Chen Guang has invincible martial arts, his family status in his family is that of a second-ranked person.

Naturally, Old Man Chen is suffering from the same problem. His "humble" current situation in Pang's house is comparable to that of Chen Guang.

You ask, who are the characters in Pang's mansion?

First of all, it is of course Ergou's Sister Pang, who is also Chen Guang's biological mother. This is suppressed by blood, there is nothing to say.

Then there is Mrs. Xiao, Wang Yu's widow. This is a giant Buddha that is heavier than Mrs. Pang, and a practical talker in Wang Jinggong's lineage.

Counting further down, there is Lady Han who actually gave birth to a biological son for the Wang family and ensured that the lineage of Wang Jinggong would not be cut off.

Then there are two cute little things, one is Chen Guang's half-sister, and the other is Chen Guang's biological son. Both of them are little treasures who are loved by thousands of people.

In the end, of course, it was Old Man Chen and Chen Guang. Apart from some servants, they had no sense of presence.

Of course, this is what Chen Guang and Chen Laohan did deliberately. As serious demon-suppressors, they often face evil spirits and evildoers directly, so it is necessary to downplay their sense of existence at the social level.

As a result, Chen Guang lurked in the capital for five years and suppressed countless evil spirits. Many evil people knew that there was a demon-suppressing phoenix hidden in the capital, but they never found out who its true form was.

Ergou met his senior brother Chen Guang by chance at the Wuchengwang Temple, and was very happy.

Chen Guang no longer stared at the emperor's ceremonial carriage, but warmly invited Ergou to be a guest at Pang's Mansion, and Ergou agreed without hesitation.

Later, Chen Guang went to a stall, gathered some items, picked up a bag, carried it on his shoulders, and left with Ergou.

Someone next to him smiled and said: "Chen Dalang, why do you go so early when you have such a great opportunity to sell goods?"

Chen Guang smiled and replied: "Today I happened to meet a brother from my clan. I haven't seen each other for many years. I was just about to entertain him, so why don't we do some business?"

Ergou, however, also joined in the fun by clasping fists with some vendors and saluting, and then the two senior brothers went off chatting and laughing like real lower-class people.

As soon as Chen Guang left, some fast-footed vendors took the space he had vacated, and he had several quarrels with several slower-footed vendors.

Ergou walked side by side with Chen Guang and said with a smile: "Senior brother is a very talented person, but he only makes a living as a hawker and vendor. Don't you feel aggrieved?!"

Chen Guang smiled and replied: "What's wrong with this? It's just a cover to hide your identity, how can it be taken seriously?!"

Ergou said with a smile: "But I see that you, senior brother, are enjoying it a little bit!"

"Hahahaha——" Chen Guang laughed for a while, but he didn't stop walking. He held the load with one hand and waved lightly to the hurried people around him with the other hand, saying: "Junior brother! It seems that you are the king of the gods. I have been working for a long time, but I don’t know the sufferings of the world! Suppressing demons is not a trivial matter, and there is no need to say too much about the dangers involved. Only seeing the peace of all living beings at the bottom can make me convinced that everything I do is not in vain."

Ergou smiled bitterly and said: "What senior brother said is absolutely true. I have indeed been a little slack in the past few years. As long as others call me a few words of god, I really think of myself as a god, but I feel a little ashamed when I think about it."

In recent years, Ergou has indeed rarely gone deep into the people to participate in suppressing demons and eliminating evil spirits. This is not because Ergou is really slacking off, but because countless demon-suppressing people who have been cured by Ergou choose to stay in Xiangzhou. He waits for the generals again and again. Xiangzhou was constantly cleaning up, so that Ergou couldn't find the slightest chance of encountering evil spirits.

This kind of comfort is a blessing for ordinary mortals, but not for a serious demon-suppressor.

Knives will get rusty easily if they are not used for a long time, and if a demon-suppressor does not gain experience for a long time, he will inevitably become slack and the demon will take advantage of him.

In fact, there are some things that Ergou has never disclosed to the outside world, such as the catastrophe twenty years later in another timeline. For the Song Dynasty with extraordinary power, Ergou is very doubtful whether it will follow the established historical trend.

But he didn't dare to take any chances, but he never relaxed a little bit about his personal strength. Therefore, in the past few years, although Ergou rarely participated in the cleansing of evil spirits in Xiangzhou and its surrounding areas, fortunately, he had countless civilization relics in subspace as a place for training.

Ergou has slightly explored many types of civilization ruins. It is undeniable that those ruins occupied by subspace demons contain many surprises. However, the civilization ruins in subspace are not so easy to break into, especially for a mortal. Even if Ergou is a little stronger, he is still a strong mortal.

The most cost-effective thing for Ergou is the steel ruins, because there is a very unique safe zone inside, which can help Ergou eliminate some bad subspace energy contamination.

However, energy infection is easy to deal with, but the pressure from the soul requires Ergou to find a solution on his own, which requires some unique ways of relieving stress.

Faced with this situation, some people may choose fanatical beliefs, some may choose certain unique hobbies, and some may choose to distort their own minds and become some kind of pervert with erratic behavior.

As for Ergou, he chose to find a woman to have children.

Of course, he was not indulging in that kind of behavior, but he felt a sincere comfort in the fact that his bloodline was slowly growing and developing in a woman's womb.

And this is also the reason why Ergou created so many illegitimate children in Xiangzhou behind Miss Qingzhao's back. After all, under normal circumstances, no matter how much of a scumbag Ergou is, it is impossible for him to become a match in just a few years. Da-Zhong-Ma is like a scumbag.

However, it was said that Ergou followed Chen Guang to the Pang family's house. When he reached the side door, before he could get in, a little boy wearing a short shirt rushed out with a loud cry.

And then a chubby girl also wearing a short shirt bumped out like a weight, shouting: "Wang Goudan, stop!!"

The little boy running in front turned back and laughed: "Short-legged fat girl! Come after me if you can! La la la! You can't catch up..."

When Chen Guang heard the little boy's ridicule, his expression immediately changed, and then he quietly kicked a pebble at his feet.

The pebble as big as a finger flew out quietly, but landed where Wang Goudan landed, and then the poor little thing fell to the ground.

The little chubby girl behind couldn't help but cheer, and then she excitedly flew into a crow and hit Wang Goudan's body hard, causing the little guy to scream in agony.

Ergou looked at Chen Guang with a smile, but Chen Guang showed a shy and bitter smile and said: "Fat Ya is the little girl, and Goudan is the dog. The two little guys often fight together. But Goudan is a Junior, you deserve to suffer some losses at the hands of your own aunt."

Ergou said teasingly: "Everyone has unfilial sons who cheat on their fathers. Senior brother, you are a father who secretly cheats on his son. I wonder if your son will blame you for being a cheat on his father when he grows up!" "

Chen Guang smiled and feigned anger: "He dares!"

Only then Wang Goudan received a few scratches from Little Fatty, and cried loudly: "Daddy, save me! Daddy, save me!"

Chen Guang turned a deaf ear to the child's call. He just pulled Ergou through the door and said with a smile: "These two little guys are fighting at home every day. The noise makes my head hurt. Ignore him. I will take you to see the master first." And A Niang.”

Ergou didn't pay much attention to the fight between the two little ones. He only glanced around and then entered the door with his senior brother with a smile. When he was done, he looked at the two little people who were making a fuss. He waved his hand.

When the two of them entered the courtyard, they happened to bump into a woman with gray hair, wearing a green cloth skirt.

When Chen Guang saw the woman, he bowed to himself and said, "I have seen the eldest mother!"

The woman nodded and said, "Why did Guang'er come back so early?"

Chen Guang led the two dogs and said with a smile: "So that my eldest mother will know that this is A Niang's student, Chen Abo's nephew, Xiangzhou Chen Shen. But I bumped into my junior brother at the children's market, so I came back early."

Ergou also bowed and said: "Young man Chen Shen, please pay homage to Mrs. Wang!"

The woman nodded slightly, but did not say anything. She only asked eagerly: "I heard Xiao Tong'er shouting earlier, but he was bullied by that fat girl again?"

Chen Guang opened his eyes with a smile and said nonsense: "No! The children just came in, and I didn't see the two children. Maybe they went to play in the back garden?!" The woman said anxiously: "There are many things in the back garden." The rockery in the pond is dangerous everywhere. What if Xiaotong'er accidentally bumps into it and falls into the water! No, I'll go take a look!"

As she said this, she ignored Chen and Guang, turned around and ran away like a gust of wind.

Chen Guang looked at the woman's retreating figure, and then said to Ergou: "This is my uncle's widow, a very upright elder. After the dog egg was born, Aunt Xiao became a little protective of her shortcomings. I treat that boy as a treasure, holding it in my mouth for fear of melting, holding it in my hands for fear of breaking, and doting on him very much. As a junior, I can't say much, and my mother-in-law can't speak either."

Ergou smiled and said, "So you just let that little chubby girl serve as your godson's tool."

Chen Guang chuckled and said: "If you don't find someone who can suppress him, when that kid grows up, he will have a lawless temper!"

Ergou smiled secretly in his heart: Maybe this is the so-called "love and care from my little aunt".

But Ergou asked: "Did you give your child an official name?"

Chen Guangdao: "That's not true. For the time being, I still only have a nickname, Wang Goudan. Aunt Xiao can't stand such a contemptuous nickname, so she often calls her "Tong'er". But Auntie has already told her, Goudan'er won't be given a formal name until he ties up his hair and goes to school at the age of twelve."

Generally, men's hair is tied when they are fifteen years old. However, some children of famous families are outstanding in their studies. At the age of twelve, they can tie their hair to study and take the imperial examination.

Ergou nodded and said: "That's good. Senior brother, you don't know that there are hundreds of evil incidents that occur in Xiangzhou every year, and more than 70% of them are caused by ignorant parents who gave their children official names in advance. By This applies to the entire world, and there are countless similar incidents."

Chen Guang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Not only in Xiangzhou, there are more similar evil incidents in Bianliang City. But there is nothing that can be done about it. Everyone hopes that their children will have a name of talent, but they don't know whether virtue is worthy of it. , will suffer disaster."

The two people came to the inner courtyard talking and laughing. They heard the sound of someone reading in the distance. When they got closer, they saw a short-haired boy who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old holding a book and squatting on the ground. Recite.

The young man was reading a book, his eyes were chattering, and his nose was sniffing the air from time to time.

While Ergou and Chen Guangshang didn't show their faces, the young man showed a look of surprise and sniffed the air even more eagerly.

Until he saw Ergou's appearance, he was so excited that he couldn't help but howl.

He just held the book but didn't dare to move.

When Chen Guang saw it, he smiled and said: "Laifu, Fat Ya and Goudan are fighting at the gate again. Go and separate them quickly, otherwise the eldest mother will be angry again when she sees them!"

When the young man heard this, he immediately threw the book away and cheered to himself. He rolled on the ground and turned into a bulldog as big as a calf. Then he rushed to the two dogs as fast as he could, wagging his tail vigorously.

It barked at the two dogs twice, circled around them twice, and then rushed outside.

At this time, Chen Guang said to Ergou: "Over the years, in order to balance Laifu's animalistic temperament, Aniang has specifically asked him to recite saints' classics in human form for an hour every day. Although he has not completely reversed his nature, he has It also prevents Laifu from losing his true nature.”

Ergou sighed: "Master Pang is smart and kind. She did the right thing when she left Laifu in this place!"

Two dogs followed Chen Guang to the embroidery building in the main courtyard, but they happened to see Mrs. Pang who was playing chess.

Compared with five years ago, Master Pang's appearance has not changed much. Her complexion is rosy, but her face has become more prosperous. It seems that Master Pang has been living quite comfortably these years.

When Ergou entered the door, he knelt down and bowed: "My unfilial disciple Ergou pays homage to Master's wife! I wish Master's wife long blessings!"

However, Mrs. Pang didn't have time to put down the chess piece in her hand. She only stood up in surprise and said, "When did you bitch come to the capital?!"

Ergou raised his head and smiled: "The good teacher's wife knows that my disciple arrived in the capital three to five days ago. He only didn't show up for a while and settled some troubles with Mr. Li, so he had time to see the teacher's wife."

Mrs. Pang laughed, threw the chess pieces on the chessboard, stepped forward to pick up the two dogs, and laughed and said: "I wonder how Li Momei escaped in vain, but it turned out that you were the one making suggestions beside him. Let's talk about that Da Su What is the reason why my husband fell into the water and disappeared?"

But the two dogs were about to speak, and the shouts of two children came from themselves.

Soon Ergou saw Laifu holding a screaming king dog egg in his mouth, carrying a giggling little fat girl on his back, and rushed in like a gust of wind.

Mrs. Pang stepped forward and took over the screaming Wang Goudan. She looked at his little face that was crying, but she raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily at the little chubby girl on Laifu's back: "Fat girl, you are bullying me again. Goudaner!"

The little fat girl sat on Laifu's back and said loudly and plausibly: "It was Wang Goudan who first said that I have short legs! That's why I beat him!"

Mrs. Pang said oh, but said no more. She just smiled and asked, "You two have been arguing for a while, do you want some fried cakes?"

The little fat girl immediately cheered and raised her hands in the air, shouting: "Oh——, I want to eat fried cake——"

Wang Goudan sobbed and said, "Grandma, I want to eat fried cakes too!"

Mrs. Pang smiled and said: "Okay, okay! You have eaten some gas, and I will give you an extra piece to make up for it when the time comes. Come on, grandma will wash your little face first, and you will see that it has turned into a pretty face!"

However, Mrs. Pang took the two little ones to wash up and change clothes, and then ate fried cakes with them.

Speaking of this fried cake, it was the food that Ergou brought to future generations.

The origin of fried cakes is said to be in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, the technology of extracting oil from edible plants had matured, so high-oil and high-calorie fried foods became a delicacy of the Han family.

However, in the Song Dynasty, edible oil was still relatively scarce. There were only meat oils extracted from fat and meat fat, which had just become popular for cooking, and fried food was even less popular.

As for the ancient saying of putting oil in a pan, the oil in the pan was poisonous tung oil.

Ergou has the knowledge of later generations, so he is naturally no stranger to soybean oil extraction.

Under his guidance, Xiangzhou's oil pressing industry has also become a local pillar industry.

A large amount of soybean oil was processed and produced, and part of it was sent to the capital to honor the elders.

It also includes some uses of cooking oil, such as cooking, frying food, etc.

Among them, fried cakes are liked by almost everyone.

Ergou's method of making fried cakes is very luxurious.

You must first grind wheat or yellow rice into powder, then use egg liquid and a little water to form a tender dough, and then wrap some fillings, such as syrup, rose sauce or osmanthus sauce, fresh meat fillings, etc., and then add oil Pan fried.

Ergou even suspected that one of the main reasons why Mrs. Pang became rich was her gluttony for fried cakes.
