"Too tight? It's not that exaggerated. Besides, it's too strenuous. You have to prepare four or five days in advance, and you have to take baths and fasts. I can't stand it now that I'm old."

Guo Shouque shrugged, knocked on the bamboo basket beside him, half-smiling but not smiling: "Today I wash my hands and make soup, and I will clean up a 'young prison' for everyone."

hehe.

Huaishi's expression became more and more numb.

It seems like some idiot is bullying a refugee with only two AKs with an anti-aircraft gun...Where's your face, old bastard?

Not far away, several kitchen demons unfamiliar with Dongxia looked over and had no idea what they were talking about.

While waiting for Huai Shi's further explanation, Huai Shi had no interest in being a commentator and just rolled his eyes: "Just think of this old man and pretend to be cool."

Anyway, if he hadn't lied, there would have been no suspense about the outcome of the game.

This is a sacrificial offering for the devouring princes... That guy is really steaming nuclear warheads.

He closed his eyes and sighed silently.

In the silence, only the old man holding the basket with one hand was humming in a low voice, shaking his head and singing a tune that had become outdated many years ago.

Songs that are no longer known.

Until the crisp sound of the vegetable bell suddenly rang.

Fifteen minutes and eight seconds.

Shibakawa Sou has finished cooking!

"I'm done."

In front of the cooking table, the middle-aged cooking devil raised his head and declared solemnly.

"It's such a short time, don't be anxious, you can take your time." Guo Shouque comforted: "There is no rush..."

"I'm done!" Shibakawa Hajime raised his voice and announced again.

Guo Shouque was stunned for a moment, then smiled clearly: "It seems that he can't wait anymore? Very good, very good, I am also very curious about what kind of works can be produced by opponents who go all out and even exceed the previous level... We,

Can we start?"

He grinned and sat next to the dining table, full of expectation.

"Kaiseki set meal·Setsugetsu flower, please use it."

Chaikawa took off his headscarf and played the role of a waiter himself, bringing the first appetizers to the table with "pay in advance" and a pair of white chopsticks.

The material is surprisingly ivory!

The pottery bowl holding the appetizers looks ordinary, rough and plain, but if you look closely, you can feel the charming curvature and the brilliant colors hidden under the simple gray.

Underneath the dishes on the inside are dotted with gorgeous dark gold, giving you a heavy sense of brilliance.

There is no doubt that it is the work of a master.

The side dishes on the plate are even more exquisite. The deep-fried tamagoyaki are decorated with cherry blossoms, wrapped in fine fish roe, and served with fresh fish paste. The delicious flavor is overwhelming.

The restrained and solemn luxurious atmosphere spread, and just a side dish made some poor viewers breathless.

Especially Maki.

The mixed-race girl's saliva was dripping. If this were a cartoon, her eyes would have turned into dollar signs.

Originally, Huai Shi should have been within the special attack range...but Uncle Fang's food was so delicious that he didn't like other people's dishes at all.

I just think it's gaudy.

"It's so exquisite that people can't bear to eat it." Guo Shouque picked up his chopsticks and sighed: "Compared to your teacher, your skills have improved a lot, Mr. Chaichuan, you will shine on the lintel of Dayin."

"There is no need to talk about unnecessary gossip. Please use it, Your Excellency." Shibakawa Hoshi said proudly.

"That's it?"

Guo Shouque grabbed his chopsticks, looked down at the side dishes on the plate, and frowned: "Can't you be more neat and serve them all?"

Shibakawa Sou's face was expressionless: "Sir, this is dining etiquette. Even if you are arrogant, don't go too far!"

"It's outrageous to be buckled and sueded."

Guo Shouque shook his head, mockingly and contemptuously, "It's because of such stupid things that Zen Buddhism cannot be freed!"

The ivory chopsticks held up the luxurious fish cake. The old man opened his mouth and swallowed this exquisite appetizer easily. He felt the fragrance spread between his lips and teeth, like rich and noble incense, leading him to the luxurious place.

Above the palace.

But when the taste gradually disappeared from the lips and teeth, all the gorgeous and solemn illusions instantly collapsed and disappeared.

The high-rise buildings turned into nothingness, and the noble officials and beauties were left with a handful of loess.

Time makes everything disappear.

It just makes people feel disappointed.

"The ringing of the bell of Gion Abode reminds people of the impermanence of the world and the chaos of the world, which is alarming... That should be the original intention, right?" Guo Shouche nodded with satisfaction: "It is indeed a kaiseki meal originating from Zen Buddhism, it seems

Like the White Bones Temple, it makes people realize that everything is emptiness, and then seek relief and enlightenment. It is a masterpiece of craftsmanship."

He picked up the chopsticks again and picked up the 'Ba Cun' dish that was presented immediately behind him, a dish consisting of fish raw, silk white, sea urchin, tofu and other exquisite side dishes.

It is still so exquisite, so gorgeous, and there is an aura of wealth lingering in the air.

It was like a beauty sitting in his arms, stroking his cheek, murmuring and moaning emotionally.

"That's great, that's great."

Guo Shouque laughed and devoured the food, enjoying the countless wealth, experiencing endless tenderness, and hoping for endless satisfaction and glory.

He just shook his head in pity, "Unfortunately, the layout is too small..."

At that moment, Shibachuan Sou frowned and was about to say something when he saw the old man raise his eyes and solemnly ordered: "Go on, let's see if your endless glory can satisfy the old man... Let's see if the old man can."

Detachment in your work?”

Thousands of mansions, thousands of people, billions of dollars' worth of property, beautiful wives and maids, the endless luxury of the world appeared before his eyes, and then everything quickly went away.

Everything becomes empty, everything withers like dust.

In this constant devouring, all things flowed, but in the end they all turned into nothingness.

Even though he was as arrogant and ferocious as Guo Shouche, his expression gradually calmed down, and he felt the calmness and Zen from the heart, ushering in an epiphany and gaining relief.

Immediately, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"That's it?"

Shibakawa Hiro's expression froze. Even though he had expected it, he did not expect such a scene before him...

It's not that his works can't help him understand the emptiness and tranquility of Zen. It's that this old man has already discarded such achievements as worn-out shoes!

No, it even far exceeds my own attainments.

This old bastard doesn't even care about the status of Arhat!

It is true that the devil is serious!

"Let me tell you, this is too much trouble, isn't it?"

Guo Shouque held the miscellaneous cooking in his hand, savoring the flow of glory on his tongue, and asked in confusion: "If you want to be free, isn't it very simple? It's much easier than this fancy thing!"

Shibachuan Sou was stunned, his expression was stiff, and he was about to refute this evil heretic, when he saw the old ghost's smile gradually becoming more ferocious and violent.

"If you want to gain insights according to the Dharma, don't be deceived by others. Look inward and outward, and eat wherever you can: eat Buddha when you meet, eat ancestors when you meet ancestors, eat Arhat when you meet, eat parents when you meet parents, eat relatives when you meet relatives!"

He raised the bowl, drank the soup from the miscellaneous cooking in one gulp, crushed the gold-inlaid lacquer bowl with one hand, and laughed strangely: "Now you are free, no longer tied to things, and free and at ease!"

"Do you understand, kid? If this obsession with perfection is not completely swallowed up, the so-called detachment and the so-called enlightenment will always be the moon in the mirror and the flower in the water!"

The old man raised his chopsticks and ordered arrogantly: "Now, put all your gadgets on the table at once, all of them!"

"..."

Shibakawa Hajime has forgotten what happened next.

As if falling into a sluggish state, she numbly followed his instructions, presented all the dishes, and in the end, watched him eat them all like a whale.

Not even a burp.

Smiled contemptuously.

He didn't even say 'that's it', he just wiped his mouth casually, raised his head and asked: "Now, it's the old man's turn, right?"

In the silence, Shibakawa Hiro felt the fear from his heart, which was difficult to understand, but he could not escape.

With the last courage, he nodded.

He sat in front of the kitchen counter.

Even though he knew he could not win, he still launched another attack on the enemy.

"Very good, I like people who are entangled endlessly. Only enemies who are not affected by fear have the value of going all out. Shibakawa Chuang, you are indeed a qualified cooking demon, and you are qualified to enjoy the old 'young prison'!"

Guo Shouche raised his hand, shook off the basket, and placed the steamed pork head in front of Shiba Chuanchuang.

"Please enjoy it, Chaikawa, if you really have a plan..."
