Chapter 166: Steamed Cakes
In this life, there are many times when people need to compromise with reality, which is very helpless.
When they can, everyone wants to do something they like, and Shangguan Xiaoyun is the same.
In college, she majored in foreign languages, because her family felt that foreign language majors had good employment prospects, but what Shangguan Xiaoyun longed for was to become a folklore scholar who went deep into the folk style and specialized in the study of folk customs.
Standing at the fork in the road of life, Shangguan Xiaoyun chose the latter, that is the life she wants!
Therefore, she decided to continue her postgraduate studies.
"As long as you win a scholarship every semester and work harder, the tuition and living expenses for graduate school are about the same. On the parents' side, if they communicate well, they should understand. Shangguan Xiaoyun thought to herself.
Her chest was like a flame burning, and Shangguan Xiaoyun couldn't wait to go home immediately to discuss this matter with her parents, and then after obtaining her parents' consent, she devoted herself to the preparation for the graduate school entrance examination.
"Think twice before you act, a moment of enthusiasm and impulse is not enough to persevere to the end. However, if you really make up your mind, then do your best to do it!" A clear voice sounded, but it was Xuan Wei who opened his mouth to make a point.
There are many people in society who use ideals as a banner, but in fact they are escaping reality and responsibility, the reason why Xuan Wei said this is to hope that Shangguan Xiaoyun can think rationally about his decision, not out of impulse, but then regret it.
"Thank you for the teachings, I've figured it out!" Shangguan Xiaoyun replied resolutely.
"Supreme Heavenly Venerable, this is very good!" Xuan Wei nodded at Shangguan Xiaoyun and said.
Although Xuanwei's age was younger than Shangguan Xiaoyun, his slightly instructive words did not make Shangguan Xiaoyun feel abrupt or disgusted.
On the contrary, Shangguan Xiaoyun subconsciously seemed to be facing a division commander, which made her can't help but have a somewhat respectful tone.
In fact, this is not surprising, Xuan Wei is already old and serious, and he spends a lot of effort on teaching a few disciples every day, and he will unconsciously bring a little bit of the bearing of a teacher with his words and deeds occasionally.
"I happened to be here today, and it's a pity to go back directly, so it's better for me to act as a tour guide for a few people, and it can be regarded as a thank you!" Shangguan Xiaoyun suddenly clapped her hands and said.
Since Shangguan Xiaoyun had decided to give up going to the interview, the time after that was free, and there were no other arrangements left and right, she thought of serving as a tour guide for Xuanwei and others, and by the way, she could have a good time and adjust her mood.
Xuan Wei and the others were not in a hurry, and it was of course much better to have Shangguan Xiaoyun, a local, as a tour guide, than for them to wander around on their own.
"I don't dare to ask for it!" Xuan Wei bowed his hand.
Shangguan Xiaoyun hurriedly replied, but secretly sighed in her heart: If there is a teacher, there must be an apprentice.
What kind of master teaches what kind of apprentice, no wonder Ming Ye is so old, and there is such an old-fashioned master in his feelings!
The group walked out of the station and asked with some curiosity tomorrow night: "Layman, where is the cake selling bridge you mentioned before?"
"After so many years, the bridge is naturally gone, only the place name has been used. Shangguan Xiaoyun replied.
"That's a shame. Tomorrow night said with regret.
"Although the bridge is no longer there, there are still vendors selling steamed cakes nearby, which are said to be ancestral crafts, and the steamed cakes taste quite good!" Shangguan Xiaoyun said with some excitement.
When he heard the words tomorrow night, his eyes couldn't help but light up and said, "Could it be the descendant of the old woman in the story?"
"Who knows, it just so happens that I've only heard of it, but I haven't tasted it myself, why don't we go over and take a look?" Shangguan Xiaoyun pursed her lips and smiled.
Tomorrow Night pondered for a few seconds, and then asked a little embarrassedly, "Layman, what kind of food is steamed cake?"
Before, Mingye's attention was all focused on the story, until Shangguan Xiaoyun proposed to try the steamed baby cake, and Mingye realized that he had no impression of this kind of food in his mind at all.
"Speaking of steamed cakes, it can be regarded as our traditional famous spot in Jinling! To put it simply, steamed cake is a thin layer of sesame candy sandwiched between two layers of white cakes, which smells a faint fragrance of rice noodles, and tastes soft and glutinous without losing chewiness. And this kind of cake also has a high nutritional value, very suitable for babies and the elderly, in the past, women who have just given birth to a child have insufficient milk, that is, a baby fed with steamed baby cake!" Shangguan Xiaoyun explained very professionally.
I have to say that Shangguan Xiaoyun's explanation with comparisons was very successful in arousing the gluttony in the stomach of tomorrow night.
"Master, Master Puji, it's almost noon now, let's go eat some of this steamed cake mat to cushion our stomachs, right?" said Ming Ye with big eyes and said to the two team leaders.
Xuan Wei was a little embarrassed, in the morning and tomorrow night, he ate three steamed buns the size of an adult's fist and a bowl of porridge, but he didn't expect that after only a few hours, he was actually hungry again!
When I was looking at heaven and earth, the amount of food I ate tomorrow night was average, how could I come out and practice that my cultivation had not improved significantly, and the amount of food had risen like a rocket?
After thinking about it carefully, Xuan Wei faintly guessed a possibility.
In the past, everyone ate ingredients rich in aura in Heaven and Earth, and it was easy to feel full.
On the other hand, the food in the outside world almost does not contain aura, and tomorrow night, who has been accustomed to extracting aura, from the kind of ingredients to assist in cultivation, will naturally feel that he has not eaten enough, and the amount of food has skyrocketed.
The reason why Xuanwei did not have this situation was because Xuanwei's cultivation was much higher than that of Mingye, and the speed of progress was not as rapid as Mingye, when he had just started cultivating, so he did not need to draw spiritual energy from food.
Qinglian, on the other hand, due to the particularity of the lotus root's body, also does not rely much on the aura in food.
"Hehe, children are growing up, so eat more if you can!" Puji said very charitentially.
Xuan Wei patted the little head that had grown a little hair tomorrow night, and said to Shangguan Xiaoyun helplessly: "The troublesome layman has led the way." ”
Under the guidance of Shangguan Xiaoyun, everyone soon came to a street full of food stalls.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to be so lucky today, I just happened to meet this time-honored steamed cake out of the stall!" Shangguan Xiaoyun squinted her eyes and smiled.
I saw an uncle in a white vest, carrying a pair of flat poles, walking from the other side of the street.
The uncle's complexion was very dark, highlighting his thin figure, and he had a cigarette in his mouth and gulped down clouds.
The right hand pressed the flat burden on his shoulder, but the uncle's left hand was holding a little girl of three or four years old.
The sweat on Rao's forehead kept dripping, but he never let go of the hand holding the little girl to wipe off the sweat.
"With his family on his shoulders, he is himself in his mouth, and the future is in his hands!" Xuan Wei muttered to himself.
