Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

Chapter 105 Fine wine, fine wine!

Making maltose syrup and preparing offerings were all tasks that Ao Mu, as the cook, was very familiar with.

Although it is said that women do not worship the stove god and men do not worship the moon, small families do not have so many rules. Usually, the female head of the household who works in the kitchen all year round will make the arrangements, and then retreat to the room to wait for the men to come and worship.

This year marks the first time Ao Peng has offered sacrifices to the Kitchen God in his new home. Although it's a rented house, it's still a very important event in Ao Peng's mother's eyes, especially since Ao Peng has brought home a beautiful and wealthy girlfriend.

At first, Ao's mother was a little concerned about Chu Ge's age, but under Chu Ge's money offensive and sweet words, she couldn't hold her ground.

After all, in Ao's mother's eyes, no matter how powerful Ao Peng was, he was still her son. Since he was her son, he should get married and start a family. Chu Ge was good-looking, from a good family, and had a sweet tongue. She was the kind of daughter-in-law that Ao's mother could never have imagined before.

Although Chu Ge is 25 years old, it doesn't affect her ability to have a baby at all; it's the perfect time for her to have a child.

Especially when she subtly mentioned this matter to Chu Ge, Chu Ge not only did not feel disgusted, but even bluntly said that he would get things done with Ao Peng as soon as possible, and even took the initiative to ask Ao's mother to help urge them.

Where can you find a daughter-in-law like this?

Ao's mother felt that if she was still not satisfied, she would be insane!

Of course, this is also a good thing for Chugo.

She had been thinking about how to get Ao Peng to settle down. Now that Ao Peng's mother was helping, she believed she had a 70% advantage. Unless Ao Peng could bring back a fairy or a bodhisattva in the future, she was confident that she could win this family war!

Men conquer the world to conquer women, while women conquer men to conquer the world.

As Ao's mother set up the kitchen, Chu Ge, a novice who had rarely cooked, diligently learned from her. As a result, Ao's mother became increasingly satisfied with Chu Ge.

After everything was arranged, since the Ao family was indeed going to host a banquet for the gods tonight, the necessary taboos still needed to be observed. Ao Peng told his mother and Chu Ge to go to their room upstairs and not to come out until 10 a.m. the next day. They were not to come out if they heard any noise in between.

In the evening, Ao Peng watched TV in the living room while supervising Ao Wu's homework. The poor senior high school student hadn't even started his holiday yet on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, so he had asked Ao Wu for a few days off in advance.

Although Ao Peng can now easily arrange Ao Wu's future, he still has to endure the hardships. There's no other reason than that his own brother suffered these hardships, so how can a younger brother only enjoy the good life?

After all, mastering advanced mathematics is definitely useful for developing the skill of mental arithmetic!

Time flew by and it was already four in the morning, almost dawn. The two Ao brothers heard a faint noise coming from the kitchen.

Ao Wu looked excited, but Ao Peng grabbed him and had Little Chaos unleash the Xuanming Sea to separate their auras. Then, they stealthily approached the kitchen.

In the spacious kitchen, a picture of the Kitchen God, drawn by Ao Peng himself, is pasted on the cupboard.

Incense was lit below as an offering.

The finest sandalwood is crafted into a spiral hanging design, allowing it to burn all night without going out.

Amidst the wisps of smoke, beams of divine light emerged from the image of the Kitchen God.

The Kitchen God, half real and half illusory, has a white face and no beard. He is handsome like a woman, wearing a winged hat and a bright red robe. A five-colored belt adorns his waist, and he holds a ball of fire representing ten thousand households in his hands.

After He emerged from the painting, He was followed by two children, a boy and a girl, one holding a jar of evil and the other a jar of good, recording the words and deeds of the family.

"Sir, this family is very well prepared!"

When Jin Tong saw the long table in the center of the kitchen filled with offerings from all over the country, his eyes lit up with envy.

No wonder the Golden Boy looked like that; they hadn't come down to collect incense offerings for over a hundred years.

The Kitchen God can travel to all the heavens, but these lesser gods do not have this ability and can only be confined to the temple. Over the past hundred years, many lesser gods have perished due to the lack of incense offerings.

The golden boy and jade girl are now less like divine messengers following the Kitchen God and more like prisoners just released from death row.

Although the maiden restrained herself considerably, she still marveled, "Master, this family is so devout; I think they must be good people. Why don't we give them a commendation first!"

After saying this, she took out a talisman, wrote "Supreme Goodness, Respect for the Gods" on it, and then put it into her talisman jar.

The Kitchen God chuckled and said, "You two mischievous monkeys, how can we, who determine human fortune and misfortune, draw conclusions so easily?"

However, He ultimately did not take out the note of supreme goodness.

It is true that the law should be enforced impartially, but within the bounds of the law, discretionary power rests in the hands of the Kitchen God.

Is it good to worship gods?

In all pantheons, this is naturally good; however, whether it is described as superior good, middle good, or inferior good is a matter of interpretation.

The Kitchen God glanced around the family. There was no resentment around them; in fact, good karma was gradually accumulating. They were a family that had accumulated good deeds. So, like a kind-hearted homeroom teacher, he might scold them occasionally, but when writing their graduation certificate, he would try his best to write kind words for them.

However, He still had to say a few words to His subordinates: "We gods once suffered a great upheaval and were cut off from the human world. Now, we have finally managed to rebuild the bridge between heaven and earth. We must remember the disasters of the past and not misuse our divine authority, lest we mislead others and ourselves."

His ability to appear in the real world today is due to the rules of the old earth game. In three months, He has built a floating bridge between the intermediate state and the human world.

However, this pontoon bridge is not stable and requires special timing and special divine authority to be able to cross it.

For example, the Kitchen God can only cross this floating bridge on the 23rd, 24th, and New Year's Eve.

Moreover, He cannot enter the real world at will. Only when the portrait is hung on the sleeve and the Kitchen God ritual is completed can He split a wisp of His soul to enter through this ritual.

What is the simplest way to interrupt a leader's speech?

Jin Tong, of course, didn't want to listen to the Kitchen God's nagging. He immediately found a jar of wine among the offerings and presented it, saying, "Master, this family has also prepared a vintage wine for you!"

The Kitchen God saw the wine jar and waved his hand, "I have to go back to report later, how can I drink wine?"

Jin Tong quickly advised, "Master has a great capacity for alcohol; this small jar is nothing, and besides, this wine—"

He opened the bottle, took a long drag, and exclaimed, "Delicious!"

In the small wine jar, the aroma of red eggs, incense, and offering coins mingled with the scent of Penglai Immortal Wine, naturally arousing the Kitchen God's craving. He sniffed the aroma and exclaimed, "How strange! This wine actually tastes somewhat like the one I drank on Penglai Island! Is another Du Kang about to emerge in the mortal realm?"

The gods are said to consume the aroma of wine, and the Kitchen God had already begun drinking it when he smelled the fragrance.

The red eggs and incense money were all inhaled into my nose at once, like beer mixed with liquor, like a depth charge!

Since he had already taken a small sip, drinking this small cup shouldn't cause any problems, so the Kitchen God picked up the wine cup, took a few big gulps, his face flushed, and exclaimed, "Good wine, good wine!"
