Chapter 4373 Wild Camping
The convoy slowly stopped in front of an inn in the car. A guy immediately walked out of the inn. The guy bowed to the people in the convoy and said: "Everyone The guest officers have to stay in the hotel. Our hotel has the best private courtyard, which can accommodate forty people and can also accommodate twenty pack cars. , only five second-class crystals every night."
At this time, shopkeeper Wu also opened the car door and walked out of the car. He said to the waiter: "You can open a room for me. We will live in a courtyard for ten people, but the courtyard must be able to accommodate our pack cars, and at the same time, we can send food for sixteen people to the courtyard. You don’t need to do the rest. "Forget it."
The guy looked at the convoy with some confusion. There were fifteen cars in this convoy, and each car was driven by a boy. These fifteen guys were added to the team. There are exactly sixteen people in the shop, but Shopkeeper Wu has only prepared a place for ten people to live. You must know that there are twenty monks as guards in the convoy. But this obviously did not prepare a place for them to live, nor did they prepare food for them. This made the guy even more puzzled, but he responded immediately and said: "Okay, please come with me, the backyard You can just drive the carriage in." Shopkeeper Wu nodded, and instead of returning to the car, he followed the man directly to the backyard.
Zhao Hai and the others also followed behind. There was no expression on their faces. No one was angry, because this was very normal. They had already agreed with Shopkeeper Wu that they would take care of their own food and accommodation. Naturally, Shopkeeper Wu would not Will prepare their share.
Soon the pack car entered a yard under the command of the guy. The yard was not big. After putting down fifteen pack cars, it was already a little crowded. However, there was a woodshed in the yard, and there were prepared things there. Firewood, but there are no pots in the yard, only kettles, and outside the yard, there is a well where you can get water.
When all the pack cars rushed into the yard, the waiter collected the store money for three second-class crystal stones and turned around and left. In a private yard like this, the waiter does not need to take care of it, as long as he arrives Just bring the food over when the time comes.
The guys unloaded the beasts of burden, fed them with fodder, and went to wash up. At this time, Zhao Hai and the others had nothing to do. Of course, they still had to ensure that they carried the beasts at night. Safe.
Yuanjing glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, let's go get some water. There happens to be firewood in this store, so we will use the firewood to cook some food, and then rest outside. "
Everyone responded. Zhao Hailiao and two other monks took over the task of fetching water. There were wooden barrels in the yard. They took the wooden barrels and went outside. At the well, he fetched a few buckets of water and then returned to the yard.
When they arrived in the yard, they found that Yuanjing and the others had taken out the firewood and simply set up a shelf outside, preparing to cook something to eat.
Zhao Hai and the others washed themselves with the water they brought, and then gathered around the fire. Yuanjing glanced at everyone, smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, who of you is better at cooking? ? Let’s make it. If you can’t do it, then I’ll have to do it. I’ll tell you first, the food I make tastes terrible, so it can only be cooked without force. It’s nicknamed poisonous. Immortal big Come on, if anyone has any ingredients, please bring them out. How about we eat together?”
When everyone heard what he said, they all burst into laughter. Zhao Hai stood up and said, “This is for me.” Come on, I used to live in the wild, so it’s not a problem to make some food. I also have some good things here." As he said this, Zhao Hai took out his own dry food and some dried meat.
The dried meat that Zhao Hai brought out were all of the highest quality. There was plenty of these things in the space. Zhao Hai could afford not to mention twenty people eating them, but even twenty million people eating them.
After hearing what Zhao Hai said, no one said anything. They just chuckled and took out the food they brought. There was really a lot of food they brought. What? There are all kinds of ingredients, and some people bring some uncooked rice.
Zhao Hai looked at them and couldn't help but smile. With a turn of his hand, his bowl was taken out. Then he took out some stones in the yard and simply piled them on the fire. A simple stove, and then he moved his hand, and his bowl became bigger. Then he put the bowl on the stove, and then put everyone's ingredients He brought them all over, then put water in the pot, added some salt, and then put his dried meat in, but did not rush to put other things in. Then he added He picked up some branches, then put some dry food brought by everyone on those branches, and then turned around to deal with other things.
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw Zhao Hai handling this matter in an orderly manner. Yuanjing even called out in a low voice: "Amitabha, Master Jinghai, did you often cook before?"
< br>Zhao Hai Hehe chuckled and said: "I have been practicing outside before. As you know, although I am an ascetic monk, I spend more time in the wild than in the city, so most of the time, I cook by myself. , so I always carry it with me He is also quite skilled in cooking."
Everyone nodded, Yuan Jing said with a smile: "It seems that we have a good meal today, and we have to thank Jinghai for that. Master.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "It's okay. If we all do tasks together, we are our own people. We may have to do tasks together more often in the future, so there is no need to be so polite." Everyone whispered the Buddha's name and looked at Zhao Hai with friendly eyes. A lot.
Yuanjing said in a deep voice: "Master Jinghai is right. We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. In addition to taking on tasks, we will also go on adventures in the three mountains, and we will also have some unexpected gains. After all, in the three major mountains, many casual cultivators die every year. Even if we can't kill the monsters or find medicinal materials, we can sometimes pick up some good things. If we have the opportunity in the future, How about we ask Master Jinghai to act with us?”
Zhao Hai smiled and said: “Okay, of course. If we have the opportunity in the future, we must act together. I have never been to a place like this before. A big city like Fengjian City is really lively.”
Yuanjing sighed and said: “Fengjian City is very nice here, but if it wasn’t so polite to Buddhist cultivators, why not? If the Buddhist cultivator provides free food and lodging, I will not stay here, because there are too many things that cost money here. Unlike other Buddhist cultivators, you need to spend a lot of money every month just for food and accommodation. Many casual cultivators in the city now live outside the city. They take on tasks, work, or go on adventures during the day, and go to rest outside the city at night. Because the houses in the city are too expensive, they fundamental I can’t afford to live there.”
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: “I also came to Fengjian City after hearing about the situation here. , I can only go to some markets to exchange, but I may not be able to get what I need, so I came to Fengjian City." The other monks were also disappointed, and their situation was similar to Zhao Hai.
At this time, the water in the pot also boiled, and the aroma of meat came out. Zhao Hai moved his hand, took out a few branches, and threw them into the bowl. This made everyone a little nervous. Puzzled, Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Those few The root is just an ordinary pine branch, but when put together with the dried meat, it will produce a very fragrant flavor. You will know it when you eat it." As he said this, he put other meat ingredients into the pot. But the vegetables were not put in the pot. At this time, the fragrance spread throughout the yard. Even the clerks from Lingshan Trading Company ran over smelling the fragrance. They had just eaten. It was food delivered from the store, but it was just ordinary food. Now when they smell it They were still attracted by this scent.
Zhao Hai did not pay attention, he just looked at the meat in the bowl with a smile, and touched the dry food on the bowl from time to time. Most of the dry food was a big cake or something like this, because it was the only thing like this It is easier to save things.
After a while, when the meat was rotten, Zhao Hai threw the vegetables into the pot. When the vegetables were almost boiled, Zhao Hai said: "Okay, everyone, let's eat. "Everyone whispered the Buddha's name and thanked them, and then took out their own alms bowls and prepared to eat. However, Zhao Hai took out a large wooden bowl, filled himself with a bowl of vegetables, and held a large The bread was eaten.
At this time, all the caravan guys came over. When Yuanjing saw this, he quickly said: "Everyone, if you don't mind, come and eat something with us. It's a crude thing. I hope It can also catch the eyes of all the donors.”
Those guys are also people who often run out, so they are naturally not polite. They all thanked them and then took out some bowls and chopsticks from the caravan’s luggage. , and started eating.
When they ate the dish, they were stunned, because the taste of the dish was surprisingly good, the meat was very rich, and with the addition of those vegetables, the taste was really beyond their expectation.
Originally, these guys just wanted to eat two pieces of meat, but now they don’t think so. The most delicious thing in this bowl is not the meat, but the cooked vegetables, and the Bowl of soup.
Yuanjing and the others were also very surprised, but they didn’t say anything, they just ate big mouthfuls. They waited until there was nothing left in the bowl, then everyone put down the bowls in their hands, and then they all agreed He let out a sigh of relief, and Yuan Jing looked at the crowd. He couldn't help laughing because of his appearance, and then turned to Zhao Hai and said: "Master Jinghai, I think you will prepare our meals from now on, do you agree?"
Zhao Hai said with a smile : "Okay, there's no need to prepare anything special anyway. The main thing I eat is dry food, which is nothing more than making some dishes. But I don’t know how to make too complicated dishes. I only know how to make big stews. Don’t be dissatisfied.”
“No, no. , how could it be?" Everyone said in unison, Zhao Hai smiled. He took his bowl off the fire, washed it in the water, and then put it away. Then everyone sat around the fire and chatted. There was also a kettle sitting on the fire, burning the fire. The guys had gone to rest, and only Yuanjing and the others were sitting around the fire.
Yuanjing looked at the crowd and said: "I think we casual cultivators should communicate more. There are not many resources available to us. If we don't communicate, it will be even slower for us to improve. So in the future I We all can communicate more, what do you think?”
Everyone nodded, and Zhao Hai also said: "Master Yuanjing is right. We casual cultivators have very few available materials. If you get a good thing, you can't use it yourself, but there is no guarantee that others can use it, and others have it. Good thing, he may not be of use, but you may be able to use it. If we take out all the things we get, sell them, and then get the spar If we buy what we need, we may have to put in a lot of crystals, so communication is necessary, not only the exchange of items, but also the exchange of practice experiences. This is the only way out for our casual cultivation. "
Everyone nodded, and Yuan Jing also said: "After this mission, we will go back. Organize everyone and have an exchange. I believe it will be very beneficial to us."
Everyone whispered the Buddha's name, and a monk said: "Master Yuanjing and Master Jinghai said it. Yes, this kind of communication is very important to us, and I completely agree." Others also nodded in agreement.
Yuanjing said in a deep voice: "Okay, then this matter is settled. After we go back, we will organize it together. It is getting late now. Everyone has been traveling all day. It is already early. Let's take a rest." Everyone didn't say anything, just responded, and then everyone drank some hot water and went to find a place to meditate and rest.
There was nothing to say all night, and everyone stood up early the next morning. After washing, they simply ate something, then left the inn directly and headed towards Xunshan City.
There was nothing wrong along the way, because the distance between the two cities was not very far, and there were people living all the way. Speaking of which, there was really nothing too dangerous. Only those three days when you need to rest in the wild may be in danger. This danger It may not be a human being, it may be a monster. After all, this place is not far from the mountains, and there are many dense forests on both sides of the road. Some monsters might emerge from there at some point, so guards like Zhao Hai and the others mainly It is to prevent those monsters, not to prevent thieves from appearing.
Nothing happened on the second day, and the same was true on the third day. However, on the fourth day, everyone became a little nervous. Zhao Hai also found out from Yuanjing that today they were going to After resting in the wild for a night, there is a village where they can stay, so they can only camp in the wild.
Zhao Haidao didn’t have any objections. He had a lot of experience in camping in the wild, so he didn’t feel nervous at all. He followed the others and found a place at night. After setting up camp, this is an open space by the forest. It has obviously been cleared by someone. There should be some caravans camping here from time to time. You can also see some traces of campfires here. The ground is also very hard and you can see It turns out there are often people living here.
After unloading all the beasts of burden, Zhao Hai was preparing dinner, and Yuan Jing said: "Everyone must pay more attention tonight. Although this road is relatively safe, it is also It’s not like nothing happened, there will still be monsters in the jungle. Let’s take turns keeping watch tonight.”
No one objected. This was related to their wealth and life, so they naturally would not object.
