When the old year and the new year alternated, Qin Chuan also began to get busy.

In the past years, with the old road in the wilderness of the Mataling Taoist view, every time the snow covers the mountain, there is nowhere to go, in the whole snow, you can't hear any cicadas and birds, you can't hear any beasts roaring, only the aged osmanthus wine is accompanied by Qinchuan, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that can splash emotions.

Besides, in previous years, there were no delicacies in the mountains, even if there was silver, there was nowhere to make it, and every year it was to keep the New Year with ordinary things such as bacon, white porridge, and side dishes, and of course there was no sound of firecrackers, and if you were used to the lively people, you would definitely be forced to die in the wilderness.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan grew up here freely, and together with this old way, he didn't feel bored.

Usually, the white-haired ape with great spirituality will go to the kitchen to eat, learn from Qin Chuan's appearance, sit on the bench, drink white porridge with his right hand, and sometimes drink himself in a hurry, and the ape will grin like a human, which makes Qin Chuan laugh.

Lao Dao said that this ape is actually a mountain kui, often considered by wilderness hunters to be a mountain ghost, so after being encountered, it is often greeted by knives, bows, crossbows and arrows, and over time, in this mountain forest that belongs to it, it seems that it is an outsider. However, with the existence of Taoism, this ape is also at ease, and often takes some mountain fruits and wild things to share with Qin Chuan and Lao Dao.

However, when it snows in winter, the ape will go to its cave and wait until the snow melts the following year before reappearing.

Now that he has arrived in Qingzhou City, there are more things to play, and Qin Chuan gradually can't bear the loneliness, and always pulls the old road to the street to join in the fun. Although he was shy, looking at those novel things from afar, Qin Chuan always felt extremely comfortable.

Although it is not yet the day of the old year, every household has pasted couplets, door gods and other things in advance, and everywhere you go, it is a prosperous place, which is really lively.

Some of the lion dancers were also nailing their stakes, preparing to make a good move and find some tip, and some of the shops were crowded with peddlers and horsemen, as if to settle the money with the shopkeeper. The gate of the government office in Qingzhou City is also closed, and there is a big word of resignation posted at the door, and it seems that the officials and masters of the temple are also going home to prepare for the old year. Only some large and small restaurants on the street are full of people, and all kinds of pedestrians rest here, warm a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, just half a catty of sauced beef, and those friends around the world, as if they want to tell the story of the past year.

At this moment, the guards of Qingzhou City are very busy, among the tens of thousands of people who come and go every day, there are many people who have rushed back to the New Year from other places over the mountains and mountains, and it is difficult to hide their pleasure; some merchants in the city are carrying their bags and galloping away in horse-drawn carriages, and from time to time they look down and look around, for fear of being targeted by some robbers and bandits, and leave in a hurry after leaving the city gate.

Lao Dao and Qin Chuan were eating belly bursting in front of a small shop called Bursting Belly Chen in the corner of the state gate, and they were uncomfortable in the hot air.

The so-called belly burst is some internal organs of cattle and sheep, which are eaten by some poor people, but the eating method is very particular. It is said that when eating belly, you have to pay attention to the four cows, the sheep, the nine, the seven up and the eight. The so-called Niu Si refers to the beef shutters, tripe kernels, cattle thick heads, and cow shutter tips, and Yang Jiu, refers to the sheep tripe kernels, sheep sandan, sheep tripe core, sheep tripe collar, sheep mushroom head, sheep belly plate, sheep mushrooms, sheep gourd, sheep food letter, if not some gluttonous old customers, it is difficult to distinguish what the difference is.

And these seven up and eight down, pay attention to the hot water in the pot, more too old, less uncooked, so some people laugh that belly burst is to eat the obscene things, eat into the upper class, in all parts of the country, the poor people like to eat.

Qin Chuan naturally couldn't tell the difference between these, but he just learned the old way together, and first put in a plate, dipped in sesame paste, the taste was crisp, and he could even hear the sound of creaking in his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them had already eaten the things in the pot, and it was the next plate.

Qin Chuan sometimes suspected that Lao Dao was not a Fu Seal Master at all, nor was he a cultivator who walked the martial arts rivers and lakes, but a cook in a restaurant, who was bored one day and didn't know where to get a peerless cultivation method, and since then he has embarked on the road of martial arts cultivation.

Let's just say that this belly, the sauce prepared by the old way is rich and abnormal, and even the shopkeeper of the belly Chen is full of praise after eating, saying that he has been setting up a stall outside the corner of Qingzhou City for more than 20 years, and no one has yet called out such a sauce.

"Have you finished eating? I don't know who said before, this water and other things are extremely dirty, how can a cultivator eat this. Even if you starve to death, you won't eat this!" Lao Dao put a bowl of beef shutters into the water to cook, turned his head and asked Qin Chuan.

"Fragrant, so fragrant!" Qin Chuan stuffed his mouth with a lamb's belly plate, and the sauce stained his lips.

Before Lao Dao brought Qin Chuan to this time-honored store to eat belly, Qin Chuan was very unhappy, all he ate in the mountains before were white porridge, green vegetables and other things, where had he eaten such things as sewer offal. However, the belly popping Chen is exquisite, and there is no trace of taste in this water, but there is a grassy fragrance in it.

At this moment, after washing the dishes and chopsticks, Chen said to these two customers who had been eating for a long time: "I said two, you have eaten here many times, don't you get tired of eating? Even if my belly is delicious, it won't be a month in a row, right?"

Lao Dao put the last plate of beef shutters into the pot and cooked them, pulled them out and put them in Qin Chuan's bowl after seven or eight times, and reconfigured a bowl of small ingredients.

Lao Dao asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I have eaten a lot of belly bursts in other places before, but it is not as clean as your house, after the fascia is removed, it is chewy, and there is no dirty smell, which is something that many belly popping shops can't do, you say, I don't eat your family, can I go to eat other houses?"

The shopkeeper is about 50 years old, and he looks simple. After years of mixing sauces, there is naturally a slight grease on the clothes, but the shopkeeper shaves his beard clean, and he looks very energetic. The whole stall looks very refreshing, except for the food bench, there is no clutter.

At this moment, the shopkeeper put his hands behind his back and wiped them clean, took a plate of tripe kernels again, and said, "No, this plate of tripe kernels is for you." After taking over the stall from my father, I set up a stall at the foot of the wall in Qingzhou City for more than 20 years. However, some shops are in a hurry and put the belly directly into the pot, and the belly will naturally be a little bitter and fishy. But I admire you for being able to make such a fragrant sauce and give it to me, which has made my business a lot more prosperous. ”

Lao Dao took the tripe kernels sent by the shopkeeper and put them into the pot, and said to Qin Chuan: "These six tripes are only one plate of tripes." A piece of lamb belly can only take an inch, if it is not a big family in Qingzhou City, how can they afford to eat this belly. I have to thank the shopkeeper for giving us a feast. ”

Only then did Qin Chuan know that it turned out that the shopkeeper of the belly Chen gave the rare tripe kernel in the belly, and bowed to the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper, so polite, this business is definitely not bad." ”

However, the shopkeeper shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Xiaoyou said that I laughed, if I can really make money, then why should I set up a stall here and buy a stall, wouldn't it be better?"
