Chapter 92 Luban Five Element Box(1/3)
It was another weekend. Lin Fang made breakfast for the old lady, and then went out after greeting her.
It has been a while since the knotty tidy up the garden behind him, and he hasn't made any effort.
He was planning to clean up while the weekend.
Lin Fang pushed his bicycle out of the backyard and was caught by He Yuzhu who had woken up early.
He shouted and stopped Lin Fang and said, "Master, slow down! Slow down! Something is wrong!"
Lin Fang had to stop: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly. I'm in a hurry to go out."
"hey-hey……"
He Yuzhu smiled silly and rubbed his hands and said, "Men, do you still have any tea leaves for me last time?"
Lin Fang laughed and scolded: "What, Master Wan thinks it's not bad, want to do some more?"
"Yeah! It's more than just thinking it's good!"
He Yuzhu smiled gloatingly and said, "You don't know, my master didn't take it seriously at the beginning.
I thought you would give him a can of one yuan high-broken can be poured, but I didn't pay attention when I poured it...
Guess what? Fill half a can in one breath!
The key is that he still poured boiling water first and then threw tea leaves!
If you go down half a can of tea, you can’t even catch it!
When the tea leaves were soaked, the fragrance became fragrant, and my master was stunned on the spot.
All the workers in our cafeteria benefited from it and each of them was given a cup of good tea.
My master said it was generous on the surface, but in fact, my intestines were almost regretful!
He said this is the best Xinyang Maojian, which is extremely rare.
Anyway, I can't drink it heavily, so I think the fragrance is quite long-lasting and the smell is very strong!”
Lin Fang said sympathetically: "That's a pity! But... Brother Zhuzi, you also know how difficult it is to buy tea.
The can I give you the can of good tea I made with favors, and I don’t have much.
For your sake, I gave Master Wan a can.
If you ask me if there is any, I won’t hide it from you, so there is naturally.
But my grandma still wants to drink it! You can’t be filial to your master, so I won’t be filial to my grandma, right?”
"Who said no!"
He Yuzhu slapped his thigh and said, "Do you think this is the result? My master gave me a prescription.
Put it in a box and let me show you. If you think it is appropriate, please make my master a can.
If it doesn't work, then pretend I didn't say it!"
"What recipe?"
Lin Fang was really curious. He had never tasted Master Wan's craftsmanship.
But I can also peek at He Yuzhu's hands.
The table of dishes that He Yuzhu helped Liu Feng clean up last time has achieved the samadhi of Sichuan cuisine.
Although he is still quite a short distance away from Lin Fang, he is already completely able to take advantage of it.
That's how much Master Wan's cooking skills are.
Lin Fang was very suspicious that even if Master Wan was not a Sichuan cuisine master, he was already standing on the threshold.
Lin Fang was naturally interested in the prescriptions in the hands of such a chef No. 1.
"You wait, I'll take it for you!"
He Yuzhu turned his head and rushed back to the main room. When he came out again, he really had a small wooden box in his hand.
Lin Fang took it, broke it up and down, but it didn't open it.
He Yuzhu hurriedly said, "Men, don't force yourself! My master said, this is the Luban Five Elements Machine Box...
I have to use a clever spirit, and there is a mantra, as if it is metal, wood, water, fire, earth or something in harmony with each other…”
Lin Fang looked carefully and found that five of the six sides of the wooden box were engraved with bronze characters, corresponding to the five elements.
The last side is a composite Chinese character composed of the four words "Suming wealth and treasure".
Put the prescription in the Luban Five Elements Box and try my best to make this.
Lin Fang guessed that the things contained in this box were probably not just a prescription.
He said to He Yuzhu: "Brother Zhuzi, have you opened it and seen it?"
"Yeah! I want to do it!"
He Yuzhu scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Didn't this remember the formula?
Otherwise... I'll go and ask my master again? Anyway, I know his place, it won't take much time."
"never mind."
Lin Fang stopped He Yuzhu and said, "I have taken this thing away. Wait for me for a while, and I will go back to get the tea."
"Okay!"
He Yuzhu was very happy, and he said, "Men, I'm fine! If you have anything to do in the future, just say a word!"
Lin Fang shook his head, raised his bicycle, and walked back.
He was not sure whether He Yuzhu really didn't know or pretended to be confused.
He just thought that He Yuzhu was from the sincerity.
Overall, although He Yuzhu has many shortcomings, such as: he likes to show off, is a little anxious about women, and is a little vengeful.
His advantages are also quite outstanding, and having faith in words is one of them.
Lin Fang returned to the backyard and happened to meet the old lady preparing to go out for a walk.
The old lady was quite curious when she saw him come back.
She said, "Big grandson, why are you back? Where is the car?"
Lin Fang explained: "Brother Zhuzi gave me something, I'll take it back and put it in place.
The car is in the middle courtyard, and it is supported by Brother Zhuzi’s house, so it cannot be thrown away!”
The old lady pouted and said, "Silly Zhuzi is a dog's belly that can't hold two taels of spice oil.
What can he give you? Maybe someone came from, and you can return it back!"
Lin Fangle was very happy. This old lady is really accurate in judging people.
He said, "Grandma, you have no one else's opinion! The thing is really not owned by Brother Zhuzi.
This is what his master asked him to bring to me, saying that there is a recipe in it and it is used for cooking!”
When the old lady heard that it was not He Yuzhu's, she stopped persuading her.
She asked curiously: "Silly Zhuzi, is his master, the surname Wan?
For no reason, he may not be kind enough to give you a recipe for cooking, and he may be asked to you if something happens."
Lin Fang compared his thumbs up and said, "Grandma, why don't you say you are the Dinghai Shenjian in our yard?
You are right, Master Wan is attracted to the tea in my hand and wants to exchange it for tea with a recipe."
"Yeah! I still think it's asking you to do something difficult!"
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, waved her hand, and said, "I don't like to drink much anyway, tea leaves are in the cupboard.
It’s okay if you use it to change the recipe, I think it’s quite cost-effective!”
"No need!"
Lin Fang shook his head and said, "I still have it in my house. Grandma, don't worry about this. I'll take a look at the Fangzi before going out."
The old lady nodded, carried a crutch and left slowly.
Returning to the Xier Room, Lin Fang follows the order in which wood produces fire, fire produces earth, earth produces metal, metal produces water, and water produces wood.
Turn over and shake the wooden box in turn, and the box makes a burst of sound.
Finally, Lin Fang slowly pushed and pulled the box upside down.
The wooden box opened to reveal what was inside.
The box contains two prescriptions, one recording the "Eight Treasure Cake" of the Qing Palace medicinal meal.
Use one tael and two qian each of Poria cocos, lotus seeds, cissodium pilosula, Codonopsis pilosula, lentils, coix seed, and lotus root powder.
Grind it into fine powder with three liang of yam and one liang and six qian of glutinous rice, mix it with appropriate amount of sugar.
Roll it into a cake and steam it in a pot.
