Chapter 12: The Origin of the Command (Part II)
Under this taste, Su Jianshan was immediately dumbfounded......
Because this dish of his own delicacies has also become "pig food"!
That's right, it's the kind of "pig food" that can't be eaten!!
In a panic, Su Jianshan ordered all the plates to be opened, and finally saw the strange mist inside one of the plates. Probably because Su Jianshan's craftsmanship was too good, the mist was rolling on the plate, and he seemed to be enjoying it very much. In the end, under Su Jianshan's frightened gaze, the "full" mist slowly left the plate and went into the ground.
Su Jianshan called a few chefs to taste the dishes, and found that all the dishes that had been contaminated by the mist had become unbearable "pig food".
However, what frightened Su Jian Shan the most was that there were at least 200 cooks, fireworkers, handymen, and waiters present, but he was the only one who could see the mist.
Could it be some kind of ghost? Su Jianshan immediately reported the matter, and the bigwigs of Guanglu Temple were also taken aback by this situation, if this matter continued, everyone's faces would not look good.
So, the bigwigs hurriedly found a group of "masters of the way" to catch ghosts.
The high-ranking people lined up near the kitchen, doing a lot of rituals, vigorously making noise for several days, eating a mouthful of oily and going home, they guaranteed that the troublemakers had been wiped out, and also arranged a large number of magic weapons, rune paper, this kind of thing will not happen in the future, to Guanglu Temple although rest assured.
In the few days when the Taoist priests were there, everything was normal. But as soon as they walked on their front feet, the thing made a fuss again, and the rune paper, magic utensils and other things left by the Taoist priests did not work at all. Su Jianshan saw with his own eyes that after eating and drinking enough of the mist, Shi Shiran got into a peachwood sword that the Taoist priests hung on the wall.
..............................................................................
Now the people in the kitchen are panicking, although the others can't see this thing, but the more they can't see it, the more scared they are. Guanglu Temple had to ask the Taoist priests to do it again, but this time the result was no different from the last time, when the Taoist priests were there, the thing did not appear at all, and as soon as the Taoist priests left, this thing ran out to make trouble again. It's like a tug-of-war in the back, tossing back and forth a few times, but it still doesn't have any effect.
Do you want to ask Taoist priests to stay in the kitchen?
Guanglu Temple has this plan, but the Taoist priest doesn't do it. The status of Taoist priests in the Tang Dynasty was very high, how could they come to your kitchen to stand guard. Guanglu Temple had to invite another Gao Ming, and they almost invited famous Taoist priests and monks near Chang'an, but the situation still did not improve. Even blamed it on feng shui problems, moving the entire kitchen to another yard, it was still useless.
And for the gods, this ghost thing can't be done all the time, and it's also a slap in the face. So then they simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, anyway, this thing doesn't hurt people, what does it matter if you eat a few plates of your dishes?
What can I do about this? Su Jian Shan was about to collapse, and in desperation, he tried to communicate with the mist.
After several attempts, Uncle Mist finally responded after enjoying Su Jianshan's offering once. However, this thing's intelligence is obviously not high, and it is very difficult to communicate. It said that it likes to eat the food here, especially the one made by Su Jianshan himself.
The fog seemed to have just learned to speak, and at that time, an extremely jerky voice echoed in Su Jianshan's head: "Here, delicious, yours, the best, give it to me, help you ......" and these words back and forth.
After some difficult communication like a chicken talking to a duck, Uncle Fog finally agreed and stopped touching those dishes casually. In exchange, of course, the kitchen prepares an exclusive table of dishes every day.
For Su Jianshan, as long as you don't make trouble, you can call your grandfather every day. Not to mention that a banquet was specially prepared, anyway, it was not Su Jian Shan who paid for it himself, for the kitchen of the Taiguan Office, what was a mere banquet? It was much less than the cost of inviting a god stick.
....................................................................................
Su Jianshan remembered what Uncle Mist had just said, "Help you", and he was also a bold person, so he asked it again: "What can you help me do?"
The mist didn't answer, but went straight into a kitchen knife. "Help you ......," and then a jerky voice sounded in his head.
Su Jianshan stepped forward and picked up the kitchen knife and was immediately stunned. He felt that the kitchen knife in his hand was like a part of his body, and it was the first time that he had touched the kitchen knife every day for decades.
He casually found some ingredients to try the knife, but was completely stunned. Originally, his sword skills were already top-notch, but now he found that he thought he was already at the peak of his craft, but now he has actually reached a higher level.
For example, the original time to cut one pound of shredded meat can now be cut more than three pounds. Some dishes that require extremely fine knife skills, such as carving "tofu ball dragon ball", this thing is to carve the tofu block into a ball first, and then carve the dragon pattern on the tofu ball, the scrap rate is quite high. Even if Su Jianshan did it himself, he was only six or seven percent sure of carving a "tofu ball dragon ball". And now it's almost one by one, and the speed is even faster.
What surprised Su Jianshan even more was that the kitchen knife was about to become the legendary "magic weapon", and there was no need to use force to cut bones, which was no different from cutting tofu. Although the kitchen knives of the Taiguan Department are of good quality, they are not so good. Su Jianshan casually picked up an iron drill for fire, and with a knife, the thumb-thick iron drill broke in response. It was as easy as cutting off a chopstick, and the edge of the kitchen knife was not even a little deformed.
Now as long as you are not an idiot, you know that you have found a treasure!
........................................................................
Of course, Su Jianshan was not an idiot, so the next day, there was an unnamed shrine in the kitchen of the Taiguan Office.
The fog became a supernumerary guest of the Taiguan Bureau. Every day at noon, the chefs would move a table of feasts to the shrine and invite the mist master to enjoy it.
At first, everyone was reluctant. But a few days later, everyone found that the rats, cockroaches and other things that were extremely rampant in the kitchen were all gone. Even Su Jianshan didn't expect that this thing actually had the effect of repelling rats and insects.
Now everyone is willing to worship this thing. You must know that the things that used to be spoiled by rats and insects every day can be several times more than the dishes that are enshrined.
As for why only Su Jianshan could see this thing in the entire Taiguan Office? An old Taoist priest gave the answer, he believed that Su Jianshan was born with yin and yang eyes, so even without cultivation, he could see spirits, ghosts, and other things that ordinary people could not see.
Because of the low intelligence of the fog, Su Jianshan really couldn't ask its roots, and he couldn't even ask its name.
In order to facilitate communication, Su Jianshan gave it a name - "Si Ming", which comes from the stove king, because there were Taoist priests who believed that it was likely to be the messenger of the stove king, or some other subordinate or the like.
