Chapter 91: The Hundred Family Kangning Suppression Situation
Song Wuji personally went to see the progress of the construction of the new Kitchen Office. This Kitchen Office was the former Market Supervision Office.

The county opened a market, doing business, buying and selling, setting up stalls and selling goods on the street...

Of course, the original material control meant that the market was rarely open. Even when Song Wuji first joined the Medical Bureau, the mayor still sent fresh fruits, vegetables, chickens and ducks every day, which showed that it was a lucrative position.

However, Tian Chengbi, the magistrate of Tian County, asked Song Wuji to take over the logistics and food supplies, and the position of mayor became a nominal position.

Fortunately, nowadays people practice martial arts and form teams to go out of the city to kill monsters and collect materials, so the market has become lively again, but what is bought and sold is no longer rice, flour, grain and oil, but various monster materials.

The most common ones are various plant demons. Some people explored abandoned tea gardens and found tea demons. They can produce tea. After making tea, it can clear the mind and nourish the spirit. Some people explored vegetable gardens and found radish demons. Eating radish can make people fart. If the radish demon is cooked and eaten, it can restore true energy.

Of course, any demon would be poisonous, but the way the Kitchen Office processed food ingredients and the way the Medical Office prepared medicinal materials were also spread.

Therefore, the demon poison can be neutralized and resolved. The simplest way is to use stove fire to process it. Stove fire can refine the nature of demons. Even when the Medical Bureau prepares medicinal materials, it also uses the ritual of worshiping the stove and asking for fire. Several stoves used to prepare medicinal materials are consecrated, and new fire must be requested from the Kitchen God's Office every day.

We arrived at the Si Zao Yamen which was still under construction. It was called a Yamen, but in fact it was a big restaurant.

Many disaster victims, and even the city's poor, were working. In fact, it wasn't just about building this one building; they were also expanding residential areas, demolishing shantytowns in the south, and replanning neighborhoods...

In the past, even recruiting laborers every year might not accomplish anything. Now that we have concentrated our efforts, the progress is actually not slow, but the original manual speed is slow.

When Song Wuji joined the construction team, no one noticed that he was an official in Taichang County. They only talked about how many Kitchen God points they had earned so they could have enough food to eat, and few talked about practicing martial arts.

But the supervisor couldn't bear to see them idle, so he quickly made them get up and work: "The demon is approaching, and you are still chatting here."

"Hasn't the demon attacked yet?"

They grumbled, but still got up and worked reluctantly.

Song Wuji thought to himself: Maybe we are in great danger, but these people used to work day by day and eat day by day. They have no expectations for the future and even less hope for the government. It is not their fault.

He immediately got up and started working.

The "building of the stove" in the Kitchen God ritual and the "establishment of the temple" by the Heavenly Officials were originally Song Wuji's own business. He was not in a hurry and could not order others to do it quickly. Moreover, many of the steps involved could only be done by himself.

But Song Wuji was seen picking up sand, picking up mud, sifting sand, sifting mud, and chopping some of the blood rice straw into pieces and burning some. While working, he recited the Kitchen God's edict and stirred out the appropriate stove mud.

Some people use glutinous rice paste to build stoves, but Song Wuji doesn't use it.

Then he went to pick up bricks. Good bricks could not be used to build a stove. He had to pick up old bricks and broken bricks, and then stack them one by one. Some broken porcelain pieces could also be used to make a stove. He even selected suitable stove door bricks and stove door beams. This was to have a good stove opening. After all, the stove opening was the gateway for the Kitchen God to enter and exit.

There must be a place under the stove to collect ash. In modern times, steel bars are generally used, while in ancient times, pig iron was used. Of course, people generally don’t look for good iron, as most people use rotten iron.

Song Wuji was a ninth-rank official after all, and his strength recovered quickly, so if he worked at full strength, he could be equivalent to seven or eight other hard laborers.

It attracted all the attention of these people.

"Is this still a human?" Most people were thinking, "How much must he have eaten in this meal to have this much strength?"

Some are even considering: "If he eats a lot, will he poop a lot?"

Some aunties and sisters-in-law even said with shining eyes: "He is a good worker. It's okay if he eats a lot. If he becomes my son-in-law, he can have eight babies in ten years."

Song Wuji was just concentrating on building the stove and automatically blocked them out.

Because we are cooking in a big pot, the stoves have to be built bigger, or even connected. They can be three stoves in parallel in a straight line, or in a dry or back shape.

Song Wuji had three stoves set side by side in a straight line, with stoves on both sides and an additional auxiliary burner for heating water or steaming rice in a wooden barrel. There were three talismans: a stone turtle to ward off water, a clay dog ​​to protect the house from filth, and a porcelain chicken to call forth light and ward off evil.

While placing the talisman, Song Wuji chanted some spells and even put on a Nuo mask and started to dance the Nuo dance.

Kitchen fire and community fire are one and the same. Kitchen fire is more inclined towards people, while community fire is more inclined towards ghosts and gods. It is the fire for sacrifice.

"Pure water!"

"Get rid of the evil!"

"Exorcism!"

"Anchu!"

Song Wuji cast spells one by one to consecrate the stoves.

In fact, after the three talismans were placed in, it had become a "formation". After all, Song Wuji also used the method of "displaying offerings".

Gather Feng Shui from all directions and determine the Yin and Yang of the Five Elements.

These words are not false.

[Baijia Kangning's evil-suppressing game]

When this stove is erected, all the households in the surrounding area will be blessed by it and feel its kindness. It is like a shield that can bring peace and prosperity to the family and drive away evil spirits.

These motivations are the stove fire and the people's sincerity in taking food as their first priority, as well as their yearning for a better life. Even at night, when the stove fire is not burning, there is still the image of "fire driving away evil spirits", and the sound never stops.

After the stove is installed, it still needs to be dried for two or three days before it can be used. However, this is not necessary for the Kitchen God to build a stove. He only needs to place the pot on the stove, light the fire, and burn it for three days and three nights, and the stove is considered to be built successfully.

There are only the remaining rituals: putting up the image of the Kitchen God, offering him candy...

“Meow~Meow!”

Song Wuji had just finished this when he heard the intimate voice of Cat Catcher.

Song Wuji touched its head, and saw that it suddenly went into Song Wuji's newly built kitchen, as if it had found a suitable cat bed.

At the same time, a familiar voice was heard. It was Chen Xiu. Next to him was a somewhat arrogant young man. It was Wu Xiucai Wan Xiangping, who had successfully been promoted to the ninth-rank demon hunter archer.

It turned out that with the help of Chen Xiu, he killed a ninth-grade demon that wandered around the secret realm of Cang China. The demon smelled the scent of humans and wanted to eat people, but was suppressed by Chen Xiu and Xin Wuya. This gave him the opportunity to personally chop off the demon's head and complete the skull sacrifice. His return this time was for publicity purposes.

"Song Wuji, how did you get here?" Chen Xiu saw the Cat Detective disappear before he realized Song Wuji was hiding. "With your strength, why are you doing hard labor here when you're not out there slaying demons?"

Song Wuji said, "Sun Shuao was raised from the sea, Baili Xi was raised from the market, and even the wise men of ancient times did not have many abilities from the beginning. Why can't I just do the hard labor here?"

The people around recognized County Magistrate Chen, and after taking a closer look, they realized that this young man who had been working so hard was actually an official.

Song Wuji said, "Building a stove is no small matter. It's normal for me to do it myself."

"Oh, yes, you are the Kitchen God's walking companion." Chen Xiu said, "No more words, come with me to see Magistrate Tian. I have something important to report."
