Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Baozhuang said in a calm tone, "As a poor monk, people outside the country don't know anything about Su Shi and Su Dongpo. They are just an ink stone for grinding ink."

Xue Baobao, "..."

She gives full marks to this B pretender!
In fact, we can tell from Baozhuang's clothes and the "people he serves" that he definitely comes from a good family.

There are three, six or nine levels of wealth. Those who can use Cong Xingyan are more than just rich. This treasure house is definitely of noble birth.

Wealthy families in this era often sent their children to become a monk because of their weak constitution in order to seek the protection of the Buddha and grow up safely. When Lin Daiyu was a child, a monk asked Lin Ruhai to send her to become a monk, but Lin Ruhai did not agree.

The youngest son of the Supreme Emperor and Queen Mother Sheep, the younger brother of the current emperor, and His Highness the Seventh Prince that his brother was looking for, were also like this. Well, he was also sent to the inaccessible Shennong Mountain——

Xue Baobao suppressed his thoughts and concentrated on making a list. Baodang had a bad stomach, so he must drink more soup and eat more porridge. Sha Diaozi should be prepared first, as well as some millet, yam, etc. that nourish the stomach...

Xue Baobao made a list, blew it dry, air-dried it again, and handed it to Baozhuang.

Baodang rolled up the list and put it into an iron tube with a lanyard. He hung the iron tube around the little monkey's neck and gave it a pine nut candy. The little monkey danced out of the wooden house.

Xue Baobao could see clearly that although the iron cylinder looked ordinary, it was actually a machine box that most people could not even think of opening.

Xue Baobao was in awe, what is economic strength? This is called economic strength!
To send a list of ingredients, you also need to use the power of the machine box!

After the list was made, Baozhuang actively proposed to go on the road, and Xue Baobao naturally wanted it.

Seeing that the white ape never showed up and Baozhuang showed no intention of blowing the whistle, Awei couldn't help but ask, "Master, don't you want this house anymore?"

Baozhuang smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. Sun Dasheng will come and get it when he has enough fun."

Ah Wei's eyes widened, "Sun Dasheng? That white ape is called Sun Dasheng? Where is that little monkey?"

"Of course it's called Sun Xiaosheng. The poor monk also raised a chimpanzee, called Sun Ersheng. He will come to deliver food to us tonight, and you can see it then."

Ah Wei let out a cry, beaming with joy, "Master, you are so awesome!"

Baozhuang smiled slightly, clasped his palms together as a gift, and said, "Thank you for the female donor."

The road Baozhuang took them was generally heading back, but it was more difficult to walk. According to him, this road was closer. They were looking for someone, so naturally the faster the better.

It's no problem for people on Xue Baobao's side to walk on mountain roads. The worst Xue Baobao can definitely be said to be able to walk like flying. He can climb mountains for a whole day without feeling tired.

On the other hand, Baozhuang was not able to do it. He was wrapped tightly in a fox fur, wore Xie Gong clogs that were convenient for climbing mountains, and carried a bamboo stick in his hand. He was the best and most well-equipped among them, but the slowest.

Before he had walked for a quarter of an hour, he leaned against a tree with a pale face and gasped, "I can't walk anymore. You go first. I will chase you later."

Xue Baobao, "..."

You can't even keep up, why are you still chasing me?Are you sure you can catch up?

Xue Baobao tentatively said, "How about I arrange for two people to carry the master on his back?"

Baozhuang hesitated, "Isn't this - not very good?"

"It's okay, it turns out that we were asking for help from the master, which made the master suffer."

Baozhuang hesitated for a while, his eyes flicked around the faces of Ning Ze and others, and said, "There is a bamboo chair in the wooden house. It was originally used to facilitate Sun Dasheng to carry me. How about you go and get it?" My eldest brother looks like his bones are hard, and I’m afraid he’ll be uncomfortable wearing it.”

Xue Baobao, "..."

Okay, who will let them ask for help?

They didn't go far. After a while, they took out the bamboo chair. It was very convenient to tie it on the back, and then walked in the forest with people on their backs.

Ning Ze's strongest Jin Yiwei took the initiative and stepped forward to carry him.

So Baozhuang sat down on the bamboo chair safely, took a pine nut candy from his purse and put it into his mouth, took out a book from his sleeve and opened it.

Xue Baobao, "..."

Suddenly I feel a little jealous!

With this bamboo chair, their progress was much faster. When they were stationed at night, Sun Dasheng sent the wooden house of Baozhuang again.

After a while, a chimpanzee with long arms and legs came flying over carrying a huge bamboo basket.

This chimpanzee was obviously not as smart as the white ape. Baozhuang personally stepped forward and untied the bamboo basket for it. Sun Xiaosheng, who had been sleeping soundly in the bamboo basket, jumped out of the bamboo basket, squatted on Baozhuan's shoulder, and rushed towards Xue The baby squeaked and looked very happy.

Xue Baobao, "..."

I don't know how to evaluate it at all.

Since the ingredients and kitchen utensils were complete, Xue Baobao was completely free to stew a large pot of mutton soup, then kneaded the dough and put it on the barbecue grill.

This large group of men will never get tired of eating meat every day.

After the main food was prepared, Xue Baobao took out the clay pot and cooked the peppercorn porridge, then ordered a fire to be set up, an iron pot was put on, and he started to stir-fry the vegetarian dishes.

Several dishes of vegetarian dishes were out of the pot, and the mutton soup was also cooked. Xue Baobao told him not to add more firewood. He held the dough in one hand and the beef knife in the other. The moderately thick noodles flew into the soup like snowflakes.

After a while, the large piece of dough in Xue Baobao's hand was completely put into the soup pot.

Ning Ze couldn't help but exclaimed, "If a girl can learn swordsmanship from a young age, her attainments will definitely not be inferior to those of adults."

What is the proudest thing about a cook?
That must be affirmation of cooking skills!
Xue Baobao's apricot-core eyes shone brightly, "Didn't my knife skills come from elementary school? You don't know how many twists and turns I had when I secretly learned to cut vegetables and chop meat since I was a child!"

Although she was no more constrained than the ladies in this life in her previous life, she still had the college entrance examination weighing on her head!
In order to practice knife skills since childhood, I don’t know how many kitchen knives and blades were confiscated!

Thanks to her liberal parents who doted on her, and her brother who indulged her unconditionally, she was able to squeeze out a little time to visit famous teachers and practice basic skills under the pressure of the college entrance examination, and the hardships were not appreciated by outsiders.

Ning Ze nodded in understanding. Miss Xue was a lady of the family. Naturally, her family would not object if she learned to cook a few dishes, but if she wanted to learn how to chop meat——

Just think about it and you will know that Miss Xue’s parents will never allow it!

Xue Baobao lowered his head to look at the fire and said with a smile, "This is outside, at home, unless I am sure that no one is around and no one will come in the short term, I will never dare to operate.

I'm warning you, when you leave Shennong Mountain, you are not allowed to go out and say that I know how to cook, chop vegetables, etc. Otherwise, I will ask my brother to lock you up for three days and three nights, and only give you rats to eat! "

Ning Ze and others all laughed and promised again and again.

On a whim, Xue Baobao picked a big carrot from the basket on his back, waved his knife, and a vivid little monkey appeared in his hand.

Xue Baobao raised his hand and threw the carrot monkey to Sun Xiaosheng. Sun Xiaosheng jumped up to catch it and screamed, gesticulating without knowing what he was talking about.Xue Baobao laughed, "I don't understand what you are talking about, just assume you like it."

Baozhuang looked at Xue Baobao with a smile in his eyes, "Female donor, I also want a carrot monkey."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Are all monks in this era so candid?

When Baozhuang opened his mouth, Xue Baobao carved another radish monkey and gave it to him. Seeing that the fire was almost done, he ordered Asafoetida to serve the soup, and specifically said, "First serve a bowl for the master, and serve more noodles, and radishes too." Just take out a few pieces, just take out two pieces of mutton."

The smile on Baozhuang's lips condensed slightly, "Female donor, why is this?"

Xue Baobao put his hands together and saluted, "Master, if you can eat a few less pieces of mutton, you can drink an extra bowl of soup. What you lose is what you gain!"

Baozhuang regained his smile and nodded Yingying, "The female donor is Yingwu."

After Xue Baobao finished his work, he sat down next to Baozhu with a bowl of mutton soup and said to him, "In addition to mutton and radish, this mutton soup also contains grass fruit, orange peel, galangal, long pepper, pepper and green onion." , can cure kidney weakness, waist and leg weakness.

You can often stew it and drink it after you return home, especially when the weather is cold, it is very nourishing."

Baozhuang swallowed the dough in his mouth slowly and sighed, "To be honest, the female donor said that before the poor monk learned to eat, he learned to take medicine first. In fact, all kinds of medicinal meals are often taken, but they have no effect. It’s nothing more than food, it’s very unpalatable, and it doesn’t taste half as good as the one made by the female donor.”

Awei wanted to say something, looked at Xue Baobao and then swallowed.

Xue Baobao changed the subject, "I see that the master did not blow the whistle today. Sun Ersheng also found the master. Did it find the master by following the smell?"

Baozhuang nodded, Xue Baobao looked at his expression and asked tentatively, "Then can it help us find my brother?"

Baozhuang looked at Xue Baobao, then at the soup in his hand, and said awkwardly, "Female donor, can I talk to you after eating?"

Xue Baobao, "..."

Okay, it’s because she’s immodest and she’s still talking while eating!
Baozhuang was obviously very happy with his meal, and even the corners of his lips seemed to be shining.

He drank two bowls of soup in a row, ate a pair of pheasant chicken wings, a pheasant chicken leg, a rabbit leg, and several plates of vegetarian dishes. He also ate a lot, and he still wanted to drink another bowl of mutton soup.

Xue Baobao said, "Master, the long pepper porridge in the casserole is for you as a midnight snack. If you eat too much now, you won't be able to eat it later."

Baozhuang hesitated and said, "Piper pepper is medicine, but it doesn't taste good."

Xue Baobao smiled slightly, "Master, the rice soup last night was also medicine!"

You haven’t eaten yet and still want to eat!
Baozhuang hesitated for a while, and finally put down the bowl and chopsticks obediently.

Xue Baobao diligently handed over a cup of hot water and asked, "Master, can you talk to me now?"

The most important thing is, Your Highness, did you enjoy your meal?Did you have fun?Can you tell me about my brother?
Although Baozhuang was not full yet, he was very satisfied and nodded cheerfully, "If you have your brother's personal belongings, it stands to reason that it can be found. A beast is a beast after all, but a poor monk is not sure." .

Is this a let up?
Xue Baobao was overjoyed, "I wonder if Master can help me?"

Baozhuang hesitated to answer, and Ning Ze asked coldly, "I wonder if Master has any concerns?"

Baozhuang sighed, "I don't have any doubts. The poor monk is just afraid that the female benefactor will leave Shennong Mountain if she finds her brother, and the poor monk will never have the chance to drink such delicious soup."

Ning Ze changed his color, stood up, and stared at Baozhuang, "What do you mean?"

Baozhuang raised his head and looked at him doubtfully. His amber pupils were clear and pure, like a mirror that seemed to be able to illuminate all the demons and ghosts in the world. "What do you mean? It's just that you can't bear to leave the female benefactor to Shennong Mountain."

Under such eyes, the cold and guarded Ru Ning Ze could not help but feel short of breath and was speechless for a moment.

Xue Baobao said carefully, "Master, if you can help us find my brother, what if I cook for you all my life?"

I just want you to know that I am the eldest daughter of the Xue family in Jinling. Although my status is inconvenient, I will definitely not be able to cook for you all my life.

I hereby promise you, Master, that if you can help me find my brother, I am willing to stay in Shennong Mountain for a year, cook dishes, make soup, and take care of your body.

From now on, whenever Master comes to my house, I will definitely cook food for Master with my own hands, how about that? "

Baozhuang smiled slightly, "It's too far away, but the poor monk may not be destined to wait there. Master once gave instructions to the poor monk, saying that the day of the poor monk's birthday is a hurdle. If you pass it, you will live a long and happy life. If you can't get over it, you will have to look forward to the next life. .

Now that the poor monk is one year and four months away from his birthday, how about keeping the female benefactor until that day? "

These words were too certain and made people doubtful. Ning Ze pulled out the Xiuchun knife in a hurry and shouted angrily, "It was you who captured our Lord!"

"Amitabha!" Baozhuan held the bowl in one hand and raised the other hand, smiling slightly, "Ning, the almsgiver's words are wrong. How can someone outside the poor monks be captured?"

His compassionate and Buddhist-like temperament makes it difficult for people to be wary, let alone suspicious of him.

As soon as he said this, everyone, including Xue Baobao, who was also suspicious, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She had long guessed that Baozhuang was most likely the seventh prince that Yu Xin was looking for. If Baozhuang was the seventh prince, then he would have no reason to harm Yu Xin, who was sent by his parents and brothers to escort him back to the capital.

Now that she heard Baozhuang's denial with her own ears, she no longer believed that Yu Xin's disappearance had anything to do with Baozhuang. She only hoped that he, who was familiar with Shennong Mountain and had many "little pets", could help her find Yu Xin together.

Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Baozhuang sigh again, "He obviously wanted to arrest the poor monk, but the poor monk had no choice but to resist!"

Ning Ze pulled out the Xiuchundao and pointed it at Baozhuang's neck, and the other Jinyi guards also surrounded him.

Ahwei nervously protected Xue Baobao behind him and shouted loudly, "You lied! Why did our uncle arrest you as a monk? Are we trying to steal you to be our girl's son-in-law?"

Xue Baobao, "..."

Awei, you were sent by Sun Xiaosheng to make fun of you, right?

At this time, Sun Xiaosheng seemed to have reacted and screamed.

One guide shouted in panic, "It's reporting to the chimpanzee!"

Ning Ze's blade flashed, and Xue Baobao was shocked and shouted quickly, "Stop!"

At the critical moment, Jin Yiwei's obedience instinct trained over many years came into play. Ning Ze narrowly stopped Xiuchun Dao's castration and stared at Baozhuang, "Girl, if we really let that white ape and chimpanzee come over, , we will be in trouble."

Ning Ze and others were all following Yu Xin's command and had no idea who Yu Xin was looking for. Naturally, they had no way of guessing Baozhuang's identity.

Xue Baobao could only say, "Brother is still in his hands."
