I don't know who publicized the news of the water walk, the commander of the thousand and the centurion of several battalions were not there, the soldiers on duty at Yanmen were in a mess, and people kept joining the ranks of the granary to put out the fire.

In the panic, there were people who went against the granary and went towards the north gate, just waiting for the fireworks of Lion Ridge to be brilliant, and then the door of convenience would be opened, and companions would be welcomed, and they would enter the city and change hands.

Nei Ying's eyes were fixed in the direction of Lion Ridge, but he didn't expect that it was Feihu Ridge that was the first to move.

The enemy was strong, but fortunately, the arrows cut through his clothes and his skin, leaving a bloody streak, and the grass juice that was smeared on the arrows seeped in, although the amount was weak, as the fight became more and more intense, the more wounds on his body, and finally the grass juice finally played its role-

Gives the opponent a momentary illusion.

There was a momentary pause.

Enough is enough.

Pei Shuo was behind him, and without any extra movements, he inserted the sword with his backhand, and even the person with the sword used all his strength to knock him to the floor and suppress him fiercely.

The warm liquid flowed, and the resistance of the people below him became weaker and weaker.

Feihuling returned to calm.

After a long time, Pei Shuo wiped the blood from his face, grabbed the sword and got up, his legs trembled, and he walked to the high platform step by step like a staggerer, igniting the beacon fire of the message.

This is not enough, counting the time, the enemy should be approaching Lion Ridge.

"Boom!" seemed to wake up the forest from its sleep.

"Boom!" The migratory birds closest to Feihuling flapped their wings and moved away.

"Boom!" The heavier drum beat flew away with the migratory birds, and they moved farther away one after another.

The marching army in the woods stopped, and the leader of the front raised his hand to stop, and fell on the ground to listen, this time to a dense drumbeat!

It's a message that is delivered.

"Enemy Attack - Prepare for War!"

In an instant, the soldiers stationed at Lion Ridge lit torches, and the majestic Great Wall woke up.

The firelight illuminated the city wall, and also let these Hu barbarians in the north of the Saibei also see the crowd above, and the archers quickly took their positions and aimed their bows at them.

They did the work of a sneak attack, and now they are exposed under the noses of the soldiers, and the two sides are at a stalemate.

The leader gritted his teeth, hating the person who beat the drum and reported that he had ruined his plan, the sneak attack on the stronghold failed, and the signal of Yanmen had not yet come.

Damn it!

"Shoot!"

The soldiers of the city wall ordered, and the rain of arrows fell, forcing the Saibei barbarians to retreat, one high and one low, they had no chance of winning, "Retreat!"

Lion Ridge responded with the sound of drums and waved the military flag.

The drumming of Feihuling stopped suddenly, and Pei Shuo's hands were so heavy that he couldn't lift them, and he sat down on the battlements.

There was a glimmer of light in the eastern sky, and an orange-red point of cinnabar was moving from under that line to the line.

It's dawn.

……

"Immortal rich cake, delicious rich cake, pick up the god of wealth and use fairy rich cake!"

On the fifth day of the first month of the first month of each year, it is the day to receive the God of Wealth, and the people of Nanxun Town take the old and the young to the Taoist Temple to worship the God of Wealth, praying for wealth and prosperity this year.

On such a day, there must be a lot of hawkers of food or incense candles near the Taoist temple, and she can just earn some pocket money.

After discussing with Mochizuki, the sky was not bright and the bird's nest took the ox cart to Taixuguan to set up a stall.

They came at just the right time, occupying the last vacant seat under the banyan tree in front of the view, and before carrying the steamer out of the car, they saw the good believers who had finished the incense step out of the Taoist temple, and the believers who had had breakfast on the other side came one after another.

Ah Yao stood on the stone steps under the tree and shouted loudly: "The fairy rich cake, the legend is that Emperor Wu eats the cake and lives a long life;

"Immortal wealth cake, what is the saying, how to sell it?"

Ah Yao did not reach the stage of voice change, consciously controlled herself not to shout and shout into screams, and when the voices were boiling in front of the three poles in the sun, the crisp children's voices spread, attracting curious people to come and ask.

This is the first customer, and it has to be a good start to the business.

Ah Yao cheered up and said with a smile: "My fairy rich cake is from the "magic recommendation fairy cake, calamus rich flower". Legend has it that Emperor Wu went out hunting and met an old man. The old man said that he was one hundred and eighty years old and could travel three hundred miles a day, because he met the gods and taught him to open the valley, not to eat grains, but only to eat atractylodes. I made cakes with atractylodes, calamus, yam, sesame oil, white flour, glutinous rice flour, and honey, which smelled fragrant and was good for my body. Atractylodes is a nourishing product for the gods, and the God of Wealth likes it when you eat it! Do you want to have a taste?"

A-Yao opened the cloth on the top of the basket, revealing the fairy rich cake inside, and suddenly a sweet fragrance mixed with the smell of atractylodes yam wafted out, and the hot mist dissipated, on one side were several chrysanthemums, the noodles looked cute, and on the other side were flat chrysanthemum round cakes, the round cakes were light and white, looking greedy.

The smell of honey was so fragrant that the man licked his mouth and looked greedy.

"The flower-shaped rich cake is nine cents, and the cake-shaped rich cake is three cents. ”

The man shouted: "So expensive, the meat bun is only three cents, and you sell this cake for three cents, little girl, no one will patronize you in this business." ”

No matter how he bargained, A-Yao always shook his head and refused to let go of the price reduction: "My fairy rich cake is not only to fill the stomach and fill the hunger, but also to sacrifice to the god of wealth, the materials are never fooled, you smell it, the honey is sweet, and the taste of atractylodes yam is also very strong, not to mention-" She blinked, "The flower-shaped rich cake is for the gods, although it has no floral fragrance, but it dares to compete for chrysanthemums......"

Before Ah Yao's words were finished, a head popped up behind the man, with a wooden hairpin inserted in a small bun, and he was wearing an indigo cotton robe, which looked about the same height as Ah Yao. He handed out three copper plates: "Bring me one." ”

The bird's nest collected the money, and Ah Yao picked up the rich cake and handed it to Xiaodaotong.

Under each cake is a square dumpling leaf, don't worry about the cake dough sticky to a piece after a long time, the wooden clip is picked up and handed to the guests to eat directly.

Xiao Daotong took a bite on the spot, his eyes lit up, he ate it in three or two bites, licked his fingertips, looked at the fairy rich cake in the basket, obviously didn't eat enough, his eyes rolled a few times, and handed out nine copper plates: "The taste is still wide, young lady is troublesome to have another chrysanthemum, I will take it back to offer to the gods." ”

The chrysanthemum-like rich cake is a little different from the cake-like one, and a few pieces of green dumpling leaves are added under the paper bowl to make the appearance of nine-section calamus, and the chrysanthemum-like rich cake is lightly placed on it by A-Yao, and the little Taoist boy also said that it looks good, and happily runs back to the void with it.

"Well, give me one too. The people next to him saw that Xiaodao Tong ate deliciously, the fragrance was like a feather on the tip of his nose, hooking the gluttonous worms in his stomach constantly swirling, making a sound, although the three pennies are a little more expensive, eat something good in the New Year, and later you can take the cake made into chrysanthemums to show your face in front of the God of Wealth, and you can eat it after worshipping, and you will not lose.

He comforted himself and took out twelve pennies in pain.

As soon as I took a bite, the feeling of pain in the flesh was instantly healed by the pastry in my mouth, and the aroma of atractylodes was still lingering, and the taste was sweet and glutinous and not sticky to my teeth.

Don't look at its small size, A-Yao changed the pastry slightly when making the fairy rich cake, the original recipe was to use dried yams, so that this cake smelled and ate a kind of medicine cake feeling, she replaced the dried yam with an iron stick yam, and the steamed yam was cut into the pan while it was hot and grinded, and honey was added to mix well with the dough. After steaming, you can eat the rustling and glutinous yam granules.

"Give me three more!"

"Do you want to take it home and give it to your family?"

Ah Yao got the guest's answer, and took out the mulberry paper and wrapped them into a small tube, so that they could be carried in their hands.

Seeing off the two guests, Ah Yao's eyes sparkled, full of excitement, "Bird's nest, as soon as we opened, good things came in pairs, and we will definitely make a lot of money today!"

"It will be as you say, little scallop. ”

It's too vain

Halfway through the start of the prayer ceremony, the good believers are lined up in front of the hall, concentrating and calming their hearts to watch the Taoist priests pray for blessings.

Although the number of places to participate in the festival is limited, the believers who are unable to enter can also approach the Temple of Wealth, listen to the Taoist music coming from inside, and the noise is isolated from the ears, and the mood is calm.

It is not without reason that Taoist incense is flourishing.

The God of Wealth Jin Gao sits, looking at the good faith and Taoist priests below, in addition to the fruits enshrined in front of the stage, a small boy portrait screen is placed on each side.

The little Taoist boy who went down the mountain to buy snacks slipped in through the back door, tiptoed behind the pillar to watch the puja, and then was ruthlessly pulled out by the senior brother.

"Ouch, senior brother, lightly, my ears hurt. Xiao Daotong grabbed his brother's hand with one hand, trying to save his ear, and with the other hand did not forget to protect the "chrysanthemum" he bought.

"You sneaked away at the Fa meeting, you are a tiger enough, why don't you give you some artillery battles and see Lu Zu in the sky?" the senior brother let go, "Fortunately, you kid is clever enough to not disturb the Fa meeting, otherwise hum." ”

Seeing that there was no angry look on his senior brother's face, Xiao Daotong's eyes slipped, and he flattered the chrysanthemum rich cake. "Senior brother, I accidentally walked the view, but there was a little girl under the big banyan tree in front of the view who sold fairy wealth cakes, and couldn't help but stop to buy and eat, not to mention, it was really delicious, saying that there was also mixed with atractylodes, the meaning is good, the taste is good, when you threw the cocoon before, it didn't mean that the ancestor wanted to change the taste, do you think this is done? This is the little girl said that it is better to use it for worship. ”

The senior brother took the chrysanthemum-shaped rich cake and looked at it carefully, approached and dialed it with his hand, the fragrance of honey mixed with yam and atractylodes came to his nose, and there was a faint grass fragrance belonging to the stone calamus.

The kind of cake dough made by Ah Yao had thought of brushing the egg liquid to make the "chrysanthemum" look more similar, but Mochizuki stopped her, saying that it was too virtual to be not a righteous religion, but more inclined to the whole truth, and could not worship meat in front of the gods, so she gave up and brushed a layer of honey after steaming and cooling.

Smelling that there was no problem, the senior brother groaned, and pulled a petal from his hand and sent it to his mouth.

"!!" Xiao Daotong's eyes widened, how can you be like this, senior brother?

Glancing at him, he raised his hand to prevent him from getting it, quickly pulled off a few petals and continued to send them to his mouth.

"Senior brother, you are very shameless now, do you know?"

"Thanks for the compliments. ”

Xiao Daotong squinted, and suddenly jumped up and took a bite of the remaining cake ball.

"Where did the honey smell come from?" the senior brother in charge followed the smell and saw a big and a small pinching each other's faces.

Senior Brother: "......"

Xiaodao Tong: "......"

"You're pretty idle. ”

"Senior brother, I can explain. ”

At this time, Ah Yao Buddhism sells cake balls-

As the first guest who smelled it said, the price was high.

Before this is too imaginary, 2 Wen a sour stuffed vegetable bun, 1 Wen Daguang money to buy an oil glutinous glutinous, starch sugar, soybean milk, seven steamed dates can be bought with a big light money, if you still want to eat well, the small shop in front of you sells blood soup, powder soup, eel, fried crispy small yellow croaker, each is only 15 yuan.

If you have a dozen articles in your hand, you can have a full meal in the small market in front of the view.

The fairy wealth cake sold by the little girl has a good meaning and smells fragrant, but it is shy in the bag.

Passers-by asked for the price and showed a painful expression, got close enough to smell enough, walked a few more steps behind their backs to patronize other houses, only a very few paid for it, and most of them bought a taste for three pennies.

The mentality is a bit broken.

Let him be, let him be, and eat it yourself if he can't sell it.

"Our little conpoy is very powerful, seeing that it is almost noon, let's hold on a little longer, no matter the result is also a harvest. Bird's Nest comforted but did not interfere more with her approach, Mochizuki had an explanation before coming, and this trip was a small practice for A-Yao.

"Hmm. There are several cages of fairy wealth cakes in the ox cart, and it is a loss to take them back if they can't sell them, so she thought about sneaking a glance at the ox cart, which was a little cheaper in the afternoon.

Just when she was thinking about whether to refer to the price of the bun or set the price again, Xiao Daotong was squeezed out of the crowd, and his senior brother also squeezed over. "Right here. ”

Dao Chief: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, may I ask if there are any chrysanthemum-style immortal wealth cakes? ”

Xiao Daotong tugged at his sleeve and reminded: "Senior brother, senior brother, there are round cakes." ”

"Then fifteen more rounds. ”

The God of Wealth has appeared!

Ah Yao was stunned by the sudden good news, couldn't think of anything, was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly jumped up and bowed to Taixuguan, muttering thank you to the God of Wealth.

When she turned around and saw that the people around the stall were looking at her, A-Yao was embarrassed and hurriedly counted her cakes: "Chrysanthemum Fugui Cake and Round Cake are two cages, Chrysanthemum Fugui Cake is 15 in a cage, a single Jiuwen, a total of 30, 25 in a round cake, and a single Sanwen, a total of 50." ”

One cage of 15, one nine, two cages of 50, one three, that is, that is, ...... Xiaodao Tong's eyes are mosquito-like, pinching his fingers and counting.

"The chrysanthemum rich cake is 270 wen, and the round cake is 150 wen. Dao Chief, are you sure you want them all?"

"It's all over, junior brother, go back and call your other senior brothers to come and help move. The Taoist pinched the little Taoist boy's face, he answered crisply, pushed aside the crowd and got out.

The Taoist priests who were too vain moved the steamer back, and the accounts settled by Ah Yao and the Taoist chief were both happy, Ah Yao took back the steamer and returned to the ox cart with the bird's nest: "Let's go back~"

The ox cart slowly left the void, and there was a faint conversation between the two little girls inside.

Bird's nest: "Why don't you go in and worship the God of Wealth, worship Lu Zu?"

A-Yao: "Pye, of course please, but you see it's noon, go back to eat with the master first, change your clothes and bring the master with you in the afternoon, it's too vain to see the true spirit, you have to return to God." ”
