Chapter Twenty-Three: Encountering Yan Lao
"It should be here, right?"
Xu Yi followed the mobile phone map navigation to the destination, and looked at the three forks with some uncertainty.
A few days ago, Zhang Meng went out early every day, and according to the clerk, he didn't see him eating in the food shop, which made Xu Yi think that Mengzi had gone to soak a girl.
Until yesterday, Zhang Meng suddenly warmly recommended a breakfast shop to Xu Yi, saying that the things sold in the breakfast shop were delicious, and it was absolutely worth it, and he didn't know if he didn't eat it, he was scared and startled, Zhang Meng spoke passionately, and Xu Yi, who listened to it, wondered if Mengzi was brainwashed by anyone?
After walking all three trails at the fork, Xu Yi finally found the correct location of the breakfast shop.
Wang's breakfast shop (100-year-old store).
This is a small shop opened in the mouth of the alley, watch the deeds carved on the wall, the above introduction says that this small shop has been open for 100 years.
"A hundred years?"
Xu Yi's heart did not fluctuate, and he even wanted to eat a small brick of quicksand.
It seems that as long as the store is opened, when it is introduced, it will more or less say that it is a store that has been old for decades, or boast that it is a century-old store and continue to operate, which has become a marketing tool.
In line with the common mentality of Chinese people, Xu Yi still walked into this store.
After entering, there was no enthusiastic waiter who came up to ask, and there was only one proprietress in charge of collecting bills, and the owner and chef who was kneading the dough.
The main thing in the store is to take your own food, basically there is no other sound except for the communication of the guests, and it will be shouted after the guests finish eating, and the boss will pay the bill, which is very cold.
Xu Yi took a bowl with a diameter of 20 centimeters and scooped a spoonful of porridge. It is said to be a spoon, but it is actually about the size of a water scoop.
After sitting down, he took a sip of the porridge in the bowl, and Xu Yi saw carrots, corn, and boiled shredded lean meat in the bowl.
"It's delicious, it seems that Mengzi didn't tell a lie. β
The simple combination of ingredients feels so suitable when you eat it.
The price list was also posted on the wall, and Xu Yi took a plate of pot stickers from the whole row of long tables, as well as a basket of three Haiying vegetable buns.
It's not a local's promise, I'm very curious about the taste of this Haiying dish as a filling, take a bite of it, Haiying cuisine has fine long leaves, it tastes okay, with seasonings, the taste is salty and fragrant on the whole.
There are also potstickers made of tofu, one bite at a time, and I only feel that the dough is crispy and hard.
This seemingly ordinary breakfast shop, Xu Yi can taste the steamed buns and potstickers he eats with good ingredients, unlike some shops, which are shoddy in order to reduce costs.
"The owner checks out. β
A large bowl of porridge is eaten, and the food is already eight points full.
The proprietress glanced at the steamer and plate on the table, and said casually: "5 yuan." β
A plate of potstickers plus three buns, and a large bowl of porridge to charge such a small amount of money?
I was very suspicious that the merchant not only did not make money, but also posted it upside down, and paid five yuan with a mobile phone with a complicated face.
The next day, in the morning, Xu Yi stepped into the Wang family's breakfast shop again.
β¦β¦
The fried dough called sesame dough has a mixture of sugar and red bean paste, a small steamed bun with milk flavor and crab roe flavor, a large steamed bun with pure meat filling, and a variety of breakfast items.
Xu Yi, who has been eating for more than ten days in a row and even wants to continue eating, is thinking about a serious question.
If he poached the owner, would the other customers of the breakfast shop break his skull?
"That beauty~ that music~ that knock~~ that hit~!"
Holding the big bowl and drinking a mouthful of salty pork rib porridge, and then eating a small custard steamed bun, Xu Yi thought about it and amused himself.
"It seems that Xiaoyou is in a good mood today?"
An old man took a breakfast suitable for the elderly and children after entering the door, and sat opposite Xu Yi with a smile and teased.
"Elder Yan!"
Xu Yi, who almost sang, looked up in surprise and saw a kind old man with a red face, crane hair, and a simple Tang costume dressed in a simple Tang costume.
"You're finally here, I regret not seeing you yesterday. β
Xu Yixi, who was smiling, said that he was disappointed yesterday.
The amiable old man Yan is a respectable old man that Xu Yi has met in these days, and his old man has made some achievements and opinions on the incurable diseases of traditional Chinese medicine, only looking at Xu Yi's doubts for nearly a month, the old man Yan only thought about it a little, and it didn't take long to give a feasible proposal, which made Xu Yi respectful.
For this reason, Xu Yi was overjoyed, and asked the old man another question that had plagued him for a long time, and after getting the correct solution, he suddenly opened his mouth and respected the old man even more.
"Yesterday there was a slight delay in small things, but today, there are still difficulties?"
Old Man Yan stroked the long beard on his chin and smiled, admiring a modest and studious young man like Xu Yi.
There is so much information on the Internet, and it is normal for modern young people to indulge in fun.
"The kid has an unknown place, Shangyang, Shaoshang, Yangxi, Yangchi and other four acupuncture points are connected to form a line to obtain airflow, relieve the pain and numbness of the arm, and temporarily relieve the pain of the ears, eyes and teeth. β
Xu Yi couldn't get the answer after thinking hard, the first four places had qi return, which could relieve the pain in two places, Qu Chi a single needle pierced into a point, and twisted the needle tail could also slow down the condensation of qi and blood and upper limbs, but when he wanted to bridge these two points, the two weak air currents were irrelevant to each other, and they couldn't be connected together.
"Wellβthis is a wonderful idea, and the old man has no clue for a while. β
With a deep groan, Yan Lao sighed very much for Xu Yi's bold whimsy, and stroked his long beard to study what he had learned.
"Little friend, have you tried to add a little more as a pillar?"
Tracing back to the medical skills he had learned in the past, he paused his hand and said an idea that could be implemented.
"Pillar ......"
Hearing this, Xu Yi's mind flashed with inspiration, and his eyebrows furrowed and he wanted to catch this little inspiration
Took out the silver needle from his arms for disinfection, and without hesitation, he pierced the milli needle on the five-point acupuncture point on his arm, only to feel that there were two faint and undetectable qi around the arm, Xu Yi pressed the arm with two fingers and explored carefully, thinking about the pillar that the old man Yan said, when the fingertips pressed on a certain acupoint, he pinched a silver needle by feeling and pierced the sixth needle.
"Sure enough, it's here!"
"Thank you Elder Yan, listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, the kid is grateful!"
The two originally unrelated strands of air used that place as a pillar to circulate back and forth between each other, so that Xu Yi's entire upper arm surged with heat, warming the epidermis and internal tendons, making them not condense.
"Hahaha, Miao praised, the old man just proposed a little direction. β
Yan Lao smiled with relief, not greedy for merit.
"Where, if it weren't for your old presence, the kid wouldn't be able to find the direction if he wanted to break through the sky. β
Xu Yi is sincerely grateful, and feels that this is a kind old man who is truly worthy of respect.
"I don't know if Yan Laoming will have free time the day after tomorrow, can you give the kid a day?" Xu Yi asked with a smile on his face.
"It's all there, Xiaoyou, what are you?"
"Hehe, I want to treat you to a meal. β
The promise of stealing the ancient style dialogue on the Internet finally broke at this time.
There is no way, it is too tiring to speak in the ancient style, Xu Yi decided to talk to Yan Lao in the future, or turn back to the vernacular.
