Chapter 677: Wukong, Step Back, Let the Master Come! [Ask for Monthly Votes]

In the morning, Li Yu and Zhou Ruotong came back from running and did another set of plank support until they were sweating all over, which ended this morning's exercise.

When the two returned to the room and were about to change clothes, Li Yu asked:

"Wife, we are going to Captain Pang's house for dinner this weekend. Can we go earlier?"

Zhou Ruotong was a little surprised:

"Why? Do you want to eat breakfast together?"

"I want to learn how to make fish head and pancakes from Aunt Qi. We have such rich material conditions now, and we have to improve our diet. We can't always eat these few things."

Zhou Ruotong took off the long-sleeved T-shirt that was wet with sweat and said:

"I'll tell Aunt Qi... bring the black underwear and black sweater in the closet. The temperature has been dropping recently. I don't know when it will snow in the mountains."

As the weather turned cold, Professor Zhou put on her black turtleneck sweater, black jeans and Martin boots again. Her originally fair skin looked even more dazzling against the black clothes.

She took off her sports bra, changed her clothes, and took a denim jacket. She went downstairs with Li Yu to the restaurant for breakfast.

Before they arrived at the restaurant, they saw Lu Bu holding a bowl of spicy soup and showing off. Next to it was a basket of fried dough sticks, fried cakes, and meat buns with sauce and a plate of bacon sausages.

Lu Bu took a sip of spicy soup from the bowl and said to Li Yu:

"I don't know what happened to Mr. Wenhe. He suddenly ordered to speed up the pace of attacking Yizhou and asked me to take Jiameng Pass within ten days. Ten days later, he would set out from Hanzhong and command the army at Jiameng Pass."

Li Yu: ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

How did this old cadre who was afraid of death suddenly become brave?

At first, he said he would command from Chang'an, but later he was worried and decided to set up the headquarters in Hanzhong. Unexpectedly, less than a month later, he wanted to command at Jiameng Pass again.

If things continue like this, Lao Jia should follow the army, right?

Li Yu poured a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, took two buns, sat in front of Lu Bu, and asked while eating:

"Why is he in such a hurry?"

Lu Bu didn't know what was going on:

"Maybe he wants to take Yizhou as soon as possible and come to Langtaosha in the real world to experience life. After all, he has been busy for most of his life, so he has to enjoy himself."

If it were another reason, Li Yu would believe it, but this reason didn't work for Lao Jia. If he really liked beauties, there were so many beauties in the book world that he couldn't get them. Why did he have to come to the real world to experience them? If he met a woman with great technology, he might lose out.

Li Yu asked:

"Are you ready to attack in front?"

"Yes, Wei Xu and Zhang Xiu have already taken over Qipanguan. When they reach Baishuiguan, they can go directly to Jiamengguan by water. I came here today to ask you to help prepare some speedboats and other boats. As long as they don't flip in the water, they don't have to worry about the power. Anyway, they will go downstream. The stronger and more durable, the better."

Downstream?

Li Yu instantly thought of the rafting project that was crowded in all major scenic spots in summer.

If the rivers in the Three Kingdoms world were fine, it would be nice to let them experience the joy of rafting.

Zhou Ruotong opened his mobile phone and found some hard-shell plastic boats, stainless steel boats, fiberglass boats, soft-shell inflatable boats, rubber boats, and life rafts that could carry more than a dozen people.

It must be said that those one-piece plastic boats were quite cheap. Li Yu browsed through them and planned to find a manufacturer with fast delivery after dinner to order a few hundred first.

Then order some models that can be installed with boat propellers for use when going upstream.

In addition to boats, life jackets, safety ropes, etc., all need to be prepared in place to avoid any danger on the march.

Lu Bu took a bite of the bun and said:

"After we take Jianmen Pass and open the passage to Shu, I will send people down along the Jialing River, straight into Jiangzhou, and poke into the base of Baling County, attacking from two directions."

Going south along the Jialing River to attack Baling County is really dangerous, but the benefits are also really great.

Because occupying Jiangzhou can block the Yangtze River and block the passage for the Yizhou nobles to escape to Jingzhou, so as to prevent these people from joining and let Liu Biao have unrealistic ideas again.

While eating, Zhao Dahu came.

Lu Bu asked with some surprise:

"Didn't you move to the city after you got engaged? Why are you here today? Are you reminiscing about the good old days?"

Zhao Dahu bit off half of the bun:

"I went to the mountains to look at the equipment today, and came here to get some things and have breakfast... Don't mention it, this braised pork bun is really amazing, I'm really greedy after not eating it for a few days."

He used a large bowl to serve a bowl of spicy soup, took five or six buns, sat down and started eating:

"I got you a few trucks of rebar from the factory, about two hundred tons, you can divide it and take it back. If you want to make weapons, I can find a way to get a set of equipment specifically for making weapons with rebar."

Li Yu didn't know much about this:

"You can do it, anyway, no matter what equipment, it will be useful in the world of the book, the more the better."

In the past, I always worried that I couldn't learn in the world of the book, but now there are a group of academic masters, and Yunxiao, the quasi-saint, has become an administrator. She can learn here, and then go to the world of the book to teach everyone, or even directly give them a knowledge initiation.

In short, as long as Yun Baobao is involved, these are not a problem.

After dinner, Zhou Ruotong went to work, and Lu Bu and Zhao Dahu also left.

After buying vegetables, Li Yu ordered a truck of cream honeydew melons, then went to the study, turned on the computer, and began to search for the ship that Lu Bu wanted.

He contacted several manufacturers and stated his needs. The boat should be large, crash-resistant, strong, and lightweight. As for other aspects, he had no requirements.

The manufacturer didn't know what to do, so he had to give his own opinion:

"If you want to play in water areas such as parks, ordinary inflatable valves and rubber boats will suffice, but you seem to want to engage in wild rafting. The hydrological conditions are quite complicated. I suggest you buy a few stainless steel boats to open the way in front. We can help you use them. Weld the triangular iron into a corner so that if you encounter a pontoon or something, you won't be blinded. "

Li Yu agreed and eventually ordered hundreds of various boats, some powered inflatable patrol boats, and 10,000 life jackets. Each boat carried at least two life ropes and one cable, as well as some accompanying boats. Bits and pieces, etc.

Summer has passed, and the manufacturer has accumulated a lot of products. Now Li Yu came to clear them all. He was so happy that he also gave Li Yu some oxygen bottles and several diving suits.

Li Yu felt that this thing was useless, but thinking that there might be a water village in Baling County, these diving suits and oxygen bottles might have unexpected effects, so he asked the other party to send more.

After some haggling, he paid a deposit and waited for the goods to be delivered and confirmed that there was no problem before making the final payment.

After finishing this matter, Li Yu browsed other products, and then saw dry powder fire extinguishing agent that can be sprayed remotely. He thought this thing might be a useful weapon in the city's offensive and defensive battles.

When so much dry powder is sprayed out, it not only easily dazzles the eyes, but may also injure the respiratory tract. Once used properly, it is also a killer.

You buy it, even if you don’t use it, at least you have to have something at the bottom of the box.

Moreover, with the development of industrial areas, fire-fighting facilities in factories must keep up, but we cannot let the fire go down and everyone returns to the Stone Age.

While he was busy, Yunxiao walked in:

"What are you doing, husband?"

"Just browse some things. Do Qiong Xiao and the others like those gifts?"

"I like it very much. I keep asking you to thank you."

Li Yu asked:

"Have you eaten? There is food in the kitchen."

"I ate, drank a bowl of soup, ate two steamed buns, and also learned how to make omelette from Sister-in-law Xiuhe."

Although he has only been here for two days, Yunxiao is already very familiar with this place and can learn many modern facilities in one go.

If Li Shimin, Zhuge Liang, and Yue Fei were the top students in the B&B, then Yunxiao was the one who broke through the ceiling. Her learning was as fast as copying and pasting, which made Li Yu very envious.

After Yun Xiao finished speaking, he sat in front of the tea table and made a pot of tea for Li Yu. He also changed the tea leaves to Tie Guanyin according to the weather conditions.

She was so considerate, which made Li Yu a little embarrassed:

"I'll do it. You make me feel guilty. I always feel like I haven't done anything, I'm just enjoying myself."

Yun Xiao poured out the brewed tea and handed a cup to Li Yu:

"You have made thousands of people live a good life, and they deserve to enjoy it."

After drinking tea, Li Yu bought some steel scraps and ordered a large number of plastic pots that were not broken, which turned out to be military supplies.

Yunxiao held her mobile phone and continued to adapt to modern knowledge. She also opened the takeout app and read some product reviews to learn as much as possible about modern people's lives.

Looking at it, she asked curiously:

"Husband, I see there are a lot of bad reviews for the Iced Americano, and they say there is no worse drink in the world than the Iced Americano... How can such a terrible drink be so popular?"

Li Yu didn't expect her to be interested in this thing and said with a smile:

"American coffee is very bitter, several times worse than traditional Chinese medicine, so it has many bad reviews. However, because it is a popular way in the United States, it is sought after by many literary and artistic young people."

Yun Xiao was completely confused:

“Do Americans like bitter things?”

"No, they are addicted to sweets. The reason why they have Americano coffee is because they eat sugar crazily... They eat sweet snacks, and when they feel tired, they take a sip of bitter Americano coffee to neutralize it. Instead of sweetness, this is a drink that goes with super sweet desserts. Some people in China regard it as a regular drink. It’s strange that it’s not bitter. I’m not used to drinking this kind of pharaoh.”

People on the other side of the ocean have a talent for making sweets sweeter than sugar. It is said that authentic American snacks are sweeter than eating white sugar directly.

Seeing that Yun Xiao didn't understand, Li Yu smiled and said:

"There's nothing to do now. Why don't we go to the city to drink coffee? You'll know after you try it."

Yunxiao had nothing to do, so he agreed.

The two came to the city, found a cafe and sat down, ordered an iced Americano and a cappuccino, and ordered a few desserts.

After the coffee came, Yunxiao tasted the iced American style, and her calm expression finally changed:

"Isn't this too bad to drink?"

She took several bites of the dessert, and then she felt the bitter taste in her mouth was suppressed.

Li Yu handed over his cappuccino and said:

"Try this again."

Comparing the two, Yunxiao immediately felt that cappuccino was extremely delicious, but it would be easy to get tired of it if paired with snacks.

"It tastes so bad, but the sales are quite high. I looked at the takeaways in several coffee shops, and the iced American style is among the best in sales."

Li Yu tasted the iced American style and disliked the bitter taste:

"Some people drink it to refresh themselves, some people drink it to lose weight, and some people use the filter of worshiping foreigners. They think everything outside is good. Even this iced American style is praised to the sky, and they say Chinese people are not used to drinking, they are just rubbish and cannot appreciate high-end drinks.”

Yunxiao was a little surprised when she first encountered ideological content:

"How can a Chinese citizen worship foreign things?"

"Yes, there are quite a few. The Americans spend billions of dollars a year to raise countless electronic dogs. Many Internet celebrities are cultivated by them."

Yunxiao took a big sip of iced American coffee and tried to calm her mind:

"I always thought that the life of mortals was simple, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated. Relatively speaking, immortals with long lifespans are more casual."

Mortals are proud and inferior, sunny and gloomy, happy and painful, free and easy and internal consumption, real and hypocritical... It seems to be a combination of all contradictions.

Yunxiao felt that she had realized something, but it was a little vague and not quite real.

After finishing the coffee, she noticed that there were many exquisite men and women sitting around, many of whom were holding high-end laptops and looked very busy, but after a closer look, she found that they were almost all browsing the web and watching videos, and were not really busy with work.

Li Yu smiled and said:

"Let's go back and don't disturb these urban elites who are setting up their personalities."

He wanted to take Yunxiao to eat a Western meal to deepen his understanding of Western culture, but Yunxiao didn't want to eat:

"Let's go back to the B&B. I need to eat a few meals cooked by you to calm down... Don't you want to cook crab roe? I'll go back and catch two, steam them, peel them, and bring them back."

Li Yu was just happy to hear this, so he changed direction and took Yunxiao to the vegetable market:

"Since there is crab roe to eat, we have to prepare some more ingredients."

He bought a few boxes of rennet tofu and some fresh noodles, planning to make crab roe noodles and crab roe tofu for lunch.

Cranberry dishes are mainly eaten for the rich and delicious taste of crab roe, but if you want it to be delicious, there are also some particularities. For example, lard needs to be added when cooking, and lard needs to be cooked with scallions and ginger first. In this way, cooking crab roe can not only remove the fishy smell, but also make the crab roe more fragrant and oily.

Lin Xu had said before that all aquatic products are suitable for cooking with lard, because aquatic products are delicious but generally lack fragrance, and need to be tempered with lard.

There is also a large can of lard in the B&B, which does not need to be boiled for the time being.

Back to the B&B, Yunxiao hurriedly left the real world and returned to the Fengshen World to catch crabs, while Li Yu came to the kitchen to prepare for lunch.

In the Journey to the West world, Xuanzang and his friends stayed in Wuzhuang Temple for three or four days. Zhen Yuanzi also played games with Wukong for a few days and learned some modern cooking knowledge from Xuanzang.

Although Zhen Yuanzi used to make some folk delicacies to taste, they were all the kind of food that was not bitter.

The people drank pimple soup, and he also tried every means to make pimple soup, but the flour used was ground from fairy wheat, and the meat in the pot was various dragon livers and phoenix marrows, fairy grass and Ganoderma lucidum.

The food made in this way cannot be said to be a waste of ingredients, but can only be said to be a waste of natural resources.

After learning from Xuanzang for a few days, I finally mastered the correct way to enjoy the worldly life. At the same time, I also found that some delicacies do not need high-end ingredients at all.

On the contrary, only by appropriately lowering the level of ingredients can we get real deliciousness.

A few days later, Wukong and others said goodbye. Although Zhen Yuanzi wanted to keep them, he also knew the mission of the pilgrim team, so he sent them down the mountain and taught Wukong his own magical power [The Universe in the Sleeve].

"My dear brother, the journey is difficult. No matter what danger you encounter, you can come to Wuzhuang Temple to find me. From today on, my Wuzhuang Temple will be closed. Unless summoned by the Queen, I will not go anywhere and will do my best to protect you in the pilgrimage."

Wukong learned the world in the sleeve, first put away the little white dragon and the black bear spirit, and after feeling the power of this magical power, he was even happier and said goodbye to his sworn brother seriously.

When they left the territory of Wanshou Mountain, the earth book suddenly flew to the sky and wrapped up the entire Wanshou Mountain.

Wukong and his companions continued to head west. According to the distance, they would reach Baihu Ridge and see the White Bone Demon in a few days. However, the pilgrim team had just been strengthened, and Wukong had also learned the secret of the world in his sleeves. The master and his disciples ran at full speed, preparing to stop and rest after reaching Baihu Ridge.

In the underworld, Dizang observed this scene and said speechlessly:

"You are rushing so fast, do you really plan to reach Lingshan within a year?"

Di Ting, who had just been sent by Master Xuandu, was chewing a peach bigger than his head:

"As long as it does not violate the rules, the sooner you reach Lingshan, the better... This is a peach bred by the spiritual energy of the West, master, are you really not going to eat it?"

Dizang shook his head:

"Not interested! How do you feel about the west this time?"

"Not very good, many gods use the word "crooked melons and cracked dates" to describe it as It was praise. Even the top few were no match for the great wizard... There were still hidden enemies in the Western Underworld. The Ten Yama Kings had already gone to the Fifth Hall to participate in the suppression of bandits. Master, are you not going?"

"Nothing is more important than the Journey to the West. If you have nothing to do, you can go and help."

Di Ting was waiting for this sentence:

"Then I'll go. Xiao Tian is still waiting for me."

After saying that, he held the oversized peach and left Cuiyun Palace in a flash. Then he showed a mythical state and flew straight to the west, ready to eliminate the evil spirits and earn merits.

Wukong and his friends ran all day and saw a mountain range with a gloomy aura.

Everyone knew that this was the territory of the White Bone Demon.

The master and his disciples came to a flat area. Xuanzang said he was hungry and asked Wukong and the Black Bear Demon to go begging for alms. He sat cross-legged in meditation, looking weak.

The white dragon horse stayed quietly beside him, looking around with his eyes, wondering which direction the White Bone Demon would come from.

Not long after, a village girl came leisurely from a distance with a bamboo basket on her shoulder, holding a green sand pot in her left hand and a green porcelain bottle in her right hand.

As soon as she approached Xuanzang, Wukong appeared with his golden hoop stick, and the black bear demon also came from another direction with a black tassel spear.

"Master, help me!"

The village girl was still performing hard, and Wukong was about to beat her to death with a stick, but Xuanzang suddenly stood up, took out the Jinlan cassock from his bag and put it on:

"Wukong, step back, let me come!"
