Because they went to Baihua Valley and asked the fourth child to cook dinner, Gongsun complained about Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang for several days.

The two of them reflected on it and felt that it was still necessary to learn to cook.

From Zhan Zhao’s point of view, if he can cook, it will be so convenient to cook whatever he wants in the future! And Zhan Zhao feels that he still has an advantage in this regard. He can usually cook everything he eats, and he is definitely the number one foodie in Kaifeng.

Don’t you still know how to cook?

From Bai Yutang's perspective, it's relatively simple - if you ask Zhan Zhao who he admires and respects the most, besides his grandfather, it would be the cook! In addition, Fifth Master thinks cooking is not difficult, as long as he doesn't let him

Don't let him touch the raw meat, don't let him wash the vegetables, and don't let him see the bugs on the vegetable leaves... just do it.

Take your pick among the people in Kaifeng, there are really not many people who can cook.

Gongsun, as a father, naturally knows how to do it, and the fourth son can also cook simple meals.

Among the older generation, they actually know a little bit about Yin Hou. They learned it by watching the Demon King cook in the past. But there are too many strange people in the Demon Palace who can cook, so the old man doesn’t need to worry about eating.

When it comes to cooking, the Demon King has raised a question before. His Xiaoyou knows nothing, and has never even touched his fingers in water. How did he raise Xiao Baitang, who also knows nothing, to be so big?

Do both master and disciple rely on drinking dew?

This question was answered when he returned to Baihua Valley.

Tianzun and Bai Yutang usually live in Baihua Valley, but the Baifu built a big manor at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, with housekeepers, maids, cooks, and servants. They go up the mountain every day to bring food, drink, and washing supplies.

They always come to work when the master and apprentice are practicing or out, just to not disturb their seclusion and practice.

So much so that for a long time when Xiao Bai Yutang was a child, he thought that his master was omnipotent, that the food would be ready in a matter of seconds, and that there would be something to eat when he opened the basket.

The Silver Demon King felt that these people were a little too "pampered". How could they be so grown-up and couldn't even cook? So the old man decided to take some time to give these experts some survival lessons and teach them how to cook.

One evening, when he had nothing to do, the Demon King gathered a large group of people together and said that everyone should learn to cook together.

Naturally, the masters did not dare to "resist". After all, even Tianzun Yinhou did not dare to resist when the old man spoke.

The Silver Demon King asked Gongsun and Xiaosizi to supervise.

The old man has a good way of teaching people. According to each person's different personality, he will start with the aspects that are more acceptable. After getting them interested, they will basically explore on their own. Of course, the idea is very good, and whether it can be successfully implemented in practice.

I don’t know.

First of all, the Demon King divided everyone into groups, so that they would be more motivated to learn together, and they could chat while cooking, so it would not be so boring.

The first group, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

In the second group, Zhao Pu and Gongsun will help.

The third group, Lin Yehuo Zou Liang.

The fourth group, Zhao Zhen and Nangong Ji

The Demon King analyzed it and concluded that of the two of them, Xiaobaitang is more difficult to deal with. He doesn’t touch raw meat and vegetables and refuses to wash them. So what should we do?

The old man asked Tianzun what Bai Yutang's favorite food was.

Tianzun said casually, "I love eating cats."

As a result, he was beaten by the demon king.

Tianzun thought for a while and said, "My Yutang is either a picky eater, or rather picky. Eating does not depend on taste, but mainly on mood. If you are in a good mood today, you will eat cabbage and tofu very happily, but if you are in a bad mood tomorrow, you will not be interested in delicacies from the mountains and seas."

The Demon King frowned when he heard this, "What a trouble! How about giving him a bowl of free rice, and then asking Zhan Zhao to tell him a joke, perform a juggling act or something, and let him happily eat free rice."

Tianzun nodded, "Oh, this is feasible! Let's call it cat rice!"

The old man had no choice but to teach the fifth master how to cook rice and make sure he didn't starve to death first.

Yin Hou came up with an idea from the side, "First of all, don't be so demanding. Work in pairs, one person is responsible for one staple food and one side dish, and we can put together a meal first."

The Demon King thinks this proposal is a good one, so why don’t we get together a table for dinner tonight.

The fourth son enthusiastically made a list for the Demon King and divided the tasks according to each person's personality and habits.

Bai Yutang is responsible for cooking rice. Zhan Zhao can stir-fry vegetables.

In the words of the fourth son, if it really doesn't work, the two of them can just eat for free and rely on each other's looks to make ends meet...

Regarding the second group, the fourth son was quite biased and said that as long as Jiujiu could make a fire or something, he and his father would not let him starve.

In the third group, Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang, although Xiao Fenghuang can't cook, he has a lot of research on stewing soup, and has also focused on medicinal diet, although everything cooked looks like it is highly poisonous. But Zou

Zou not only knows how to barbecue, but also catches prey, so they can barbecue and serve it with soup, which is also good.

The most difficult one should be the fourth group.

When the Demon King originally proposed the idea of ​​learning how to cook, Zhao Zhen was not considered at all, but the Emperor himself requested that he be included.

Everyone was speechless. Can the emperor starve to death these days?

But Zhao Zhen took the initiative to participate, and the Demon King had no choice. The fourth child quietly ran to Nangong and asked Nangong, can the fat aunt know how to cook?

Nangong nodded. Concubine Pang was proficient in cooking and embroidery. After all, it was not easy to be a princess. She had to learn everything before marrying into the royal family.

The fourth son tilted his head and said, "Then the Emperor will not be hungry because he has such a capable wife."

But Zhao Zhen insisted on learning and there was nothing he could do. Everyone looked at Nangong - can you do it?

Nangong turned his head - the Ouchi guard had no request to cook.

Everyone was surprised - there was actually Nangong who couldn't do it.

Zhao Zhen was still disgusted, "Look at you, you can't even cook."

The fourth son then asked Zhao Zhen, "Then what do you want to learn, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Zhen said that he wanted to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake for Concubine Pang. When the fourth son heard this, he patted his chest and said that the emperor would be taught by him personally, and he was the best at making sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Nangong was responsible for helping. The two of them discussed it and after learning, they would make sweet-scented osmanthus cake for Concubine Pang and Xiangxiang to eat.

…

After the division of labor, the Demon King told everyone about various things to pay attention to.

Cooking is easier said than done, especially for these old men.

First of all, there are two people who are responsible for washing the rice. Bai Yutang needs to wash the rice when cooking, and Zhao Zhen needs to wash the rice before grinding the rice when making sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

So, by a well, the Fifth Master and the Emperor each took a basin and prepared to wash rice.

The fourth son took two bamboo tubes, filled them with two tubes of rice, and poured them into the basins respectively.

Zhan Zhao and Nangong each took a ladle, scooped up water and poured it into the basin.

Bai Yutang and Zhao Zhen each held a basin of water, looked at the rice in the water, looked at each other, and said - the water has turned white!

Tianzun urged from the side, "Hurry up and wash it! Have you never eaten pork and seen a pig running?"

Both the Fifth Master and the Emperor shook their basins.

Gongsun rolled up his sleeves and gave an example to the two of them.

The two of them followed suit, stretched out their hands to grab the rice, and then poured out the water... After trying it, they found that it was not difficult. Once they grasped the trick, they became more courageous. Master Wu asked Zhan Zhao to continue pouring the water.

After washing twice, he wanted to continue washing. Gongsun stopped him quickly, "Hey! Two washings are enough!"

Bai Yutang shook his head and said the water was not clear enough!

Gongsun was speechless, "It's already washed. It's not good to wash it too much."

Zhao Zhen handed the washed rice to Nangong, and Xiaosi and the two of them went to the mill to prepare flour.

But this was difficult for Bai Yutang. Mr. Wu always felt that the rice was not washed properly and the water was not enough.

Zhan Zhao pushed him towards the kitchen.

Everyone thinks that Fifth Master is very difficult. According to his character, he probably wants to cleanse himself one by one.

Things went well with Zhao Zhen. The mill workers taught Nangong how to direct the little donkey to pull the millstone. Soon, the rice was ground into rice flour.

There are no fresh sweet-scented osmanthus this season, but we collected dried osmanthus last year. The fourth son went and asked for a small bag.

…

On the other side, the cooking process was relatively smooth. Master Wu poured the rice into the pot. According to the techniques taught by the Demon King, the amount of water added should only be higher than the top of the middle finger of the rice.

After pouring the water, Zhan Zhao closed the lid when Wu Ye expressed hesitantly that there was still white in the water.

Zhao Pu, who was responsible for lighting the fire, walked in holding a torch.

Everyone was startled by him and asked him what he was doing?

The Ninth Prince replied confidently, "Let's light a fire! Where is it? Is there a fuse?"

Gongsun said, "How about you light the thunder? And you also lead the wire..."

Helpless, the husband had no choice but to teach his prince how to light the stove fire.

He took out the fire folding device, lit a paper roll first, and then took out some straw and lit the stove.

Gongsun taught Zhao Pu not to put too much firewood, but to add it little by little, otherwise there will be no fire but smoke.

Everyone was watching and felt that this was not an easy job. They had to keep an eye on it and pay attention to the fire at all times.

When the rice was cooked, Gongsun said that Bai Yutang's work was done.
To be continued...
