Chapter 698: Knowing Shao Ai, a hard work!
For Zhang Yaoyun's indifference, the young Taoist priest turned a blind eye, and on the contrary, he was very enthusiastic: "Miss Yaoyun, don't worry, with my care, Zhang Lao lives well here, and there will definitely be no problems." ”
"Oh, then thank you Dao Chang Zhu for taking a photo." Zhang Yaoyun thanked her, very polite.
"It should be, it should be." The young Taoist priest smiled, without the slightest smell of a monk.
Seeing this, Xiong Mao whispered next to Fang Yuan: "This guy must be a professional Taoist. ”
The so-called professional Taoist priest naturally refers to a Taoist priest who takes a Taoist priest as a profession, rather than a Taoist priest who is truly a monk and cultivates. After all, in modern society, religion has also become a pillar industry of economic development in some regions.
In the case of insufficient manpower of full-time Taoist priests, professional Taoist priests naturally came into being. These Taoist priests are like office workers, they are Taoist priests when they put on Taoist robes, and ordinary people when they take off their Taoist robes.
Nowadays, there are many fake monks, fake Taoist priests, and fake beggars, which can be regarded as a special social phenomenon. So for Xiong Mao's speculation, Fang Yuan also nodded lightly in agreement. After all, if the young Taoist priest is a Taoist priest who is really a monk and cultivates, he will not have such an appearance, it is simply Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it.
Anyway, Zhang Yaoyun coped with two sentences, and she was a little impatient, so she turned her head and said, "Grandpa, you can chat with the guests, and I'll go boil water and make tea for you." ”
"Miss Yaoyun, I'll help you." The young Taoist priest said diligently.
"No need." Zhang Yaoyun refused: "You can chat with my grandfather." ”
While speaking, Zhang Yaoyun deliberately walked a few steps faster. Go around to the back of the small temple, where Zhang Enze lives, and there is also a small kitchen.
Zhang Yaoyun walked away. The young Taoist priest was no longer easy to chase, so he turned around and said complainingly: "Old Zhang, didn't I say it." It's good to wrap up your affairs with me, so why bother to invite someone else. ”
"Xiao Zhu." Zhang Enze shook his head and said, "I understand your kindness." But Gu has been my old brother for many years. I'm sure he'll help me out. ”
In fact, there is an obscure overtone in these words, that is, I only believe in Guyue Jushi, and I don't believe you.
It's a pity that I don't know that the young Taoist priest really can't hear it. still pretended not to understand, and continued to persuade: "Old Zhang, you must be right to listen to me." My master has been busy with the matter of Zhenwu's birthday recently, and he can't spare time. Wait until he's done with these few days. I immediately told him about it. There is a shot from him. You don't have to ask anyone else anymore. ”
"Lao Gu is no one else." Zhang Enze patted Gu Yue's shoulder, and said solemnly: "We are friends of life and death, and my future affairs can only be entrusted to him, and there is no need to trouble others." ”
The young Taoist priest is not really stupid, and seeing that Zhang Enze is resolute, he can't say anything. However, there was a look of disapproval in his eyes, and he was definitely not so easy to die.
Meanwhile. Zhang Enze opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Zhu, I'm going to greet guests." Nothing to say. You can go back first. There are many believers who burn incense and make wishes, and your master may not be busy, so you go back to help him. ”
"It's okay, it's not just my master in the view......" The young Taoist priest wanted to stay, but after seeing Zhang Enze's displeased gaze, he immediately changed his words and said: "But Zhang Lao, you are right, I should indeed go back to help, and mention your matter to the master by the way......"
“…… That's it, Mr. Zhang...... Miss Yaoyun, I'll go first, come over when I'm done, and wait for my good news. ”
While speaking, the young Taoist priest reluctantly left. One step at a time, he turned back three times, and slowly disappeared between the sheep intestine paths, heading towards the palace on the mountain.
"Xiao Zhu is still good, but it's a little ......" Zhang Enze shook his head and didn't comment on it.
"Knowing Shao Ai, it's normal for people to understand." Gu Yue Jushi smiled, then changed the topic and quipped: "Lao Zhang, someone is here, and they won't take us in to burn pillar incense." It seems that you are incompetent in this temple. ”
"My incense here is very expensive, eight hundred and eight per stick." Zhang Enze raised his eyebrows and said, "Pay the money first, and then give the incense." ”
"If it's Zixiao Palace or Yuxu Palace, then I also admit it, you ruined temple, you dare to cheat people like this?" Gu Yue Jushi joked: "No wonder the incense is deserted, no one comes." ”
"My name is Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who wish will take the bait."
Between laughing and talking, several people also walked to the small temple, and then burned incense and worshipped respectfully. Three sticks of incense per person can be regarded as a basic etiquette.
After the incense was applied, several people sat down cross-legged on the futon and chatted casually. Of course, it was mainly Gu Yue Jushi and Zhang Enze who were chatting, Fang Yuan and Xiong Mao who were listening, nodding their heads from time to time to echo the two sentences.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Yaoyun walked in with four cups of tea and silently served a cup to everyone.
"Thank you." Fang Yuan took the cup, looked down, and saw that the tea in the cup was clear and yellowish, as if there was a faint fragrance of tea, but he didn't know what kind of tea it was.
Fang Yuan took a sip, feeling that the taste of this tea was a little light, Zhongzheng was peaceful, not very good, but it was certainly not bad. When he was tasting it, he heard Gu Yue Jushi laugh and say, "Lao Zhang, this is Wudang Dao tea, right?" I remember last year you said that you planned to learn from me to pick wild tea leaves and make your own tea leaves. Don't sue me, this is your masterpiece? ”
"Of course......" Zhang Enze lifted his chin proudly.
But at this moment, Zhang Yaoyun next to her suddenly chuckled, and suddenly made Zhang Enze sigh dejectedly: "Okay, this is what I bought...... It's not easy to make homemade tea, especially roasted tea, it's very simple to watch others make it, and it's always wrong to change it myself, I don't understand why it's ......"
"Grandpa, that's because people are roasting tea, and you are 'stir-frying' tea!" Zhang Yaoyun said with a smile, the second fried word, the pronunciation is very clear, and the tone is aggravated.
Gu Yue understood as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Lao Zhang, as soon as you see the pot and shovel, you can't help but treat tea as a dish, and get used to naturally sprinkling oil and salt and stir-frying?" ”
"There's no way, it's an instinctive reaction cultivated after decades of kung fu, and it can't be corrected all at once." Zhang Enze said embarrassedly: "Actually, the tea I fried is also quite good, and everyone praised it after eating it......
Everyone was stunned, and instantly understood and laughed! A chef is a chef, and even if he retires, he doesn't forget his profession, and he can't make homemade tea, but instead uses tea as an ingredient to develop new dishes.
"Don't laugh, you eat here at noon, I'll fry a flavored tea for you to taste, and you will definitely be amazed when you eat it." Zhang Enze said, full of confidence.
Others do not doubt that a chef with decades of experience must have the ability to turn decay into magic, and even the most unpalatable ingredients can become very delicious.
"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words." Gu Yue Jushi smiled: "Don't let everyone down. ”
"After decades of friendship, you still can't trust me?" Zhang Enze was full of confidence, and then turned his head and said, "Yaoyao, you go to the mountain to help me pick some fresh tea leaves, and ask for a little bit on the tip of the buds." ”
Zhang Yaoyun's eyes turned wonderfully, and her eyes swept over Zhang Enze and Gu Yue, with a suspicious look in her eyes. But in the end, she nodded, and Ying Ying got up and left.
As soon as she left, the smile on Gu Yue's face retracted, and she asked softly, "Lao Zhang, how are you, are you okay?" ”
Gu Yue Jushi was very worried, although he looked at Zhang Enze's appearance, he seemed to be very tough, but he was afraid that he was strong on the outside, and he pretended to be okay when there was something wrong.
"Don't worry, I now have three meals a day, meat and vegetables, and I have a good appetite, what can I do." Zhang Enze patted his chest and said, he was very angry when he spoke, his eyes were bright, and it really didn't look like there was any problem.
"Then you are so dignified, why do you suddenly want to build a longevity grave?" Gu Yue Jushi frowned and said, "I didn't dare to reveal the slightest bit in front of Yao Yun, and even lied." ”
"Brother, I know I'm sorry for you." Zhang Enze smiled gratefully, and then said calmly: "But Lao Gu, you are specialized in learning this, why did you avoid it?" ”
"And this is also a traditional custom, not to mention that the ancient emperors began to send people to build the imperial mausoleum with great fanfare from the moment they ascended the throne, even ordinary people will also prepare their own longevity tombs and longevity clothes and coffins before their deaths."
Zhang Enze said from the bottom of his heart: "Brother, I am already eighty years old, and in the words of the past, one foot has already stepped into the mouth of the coffin." Although I am also confident that I can live for another ten or eight years, the problem is that I should prepare for it, so as not to close my eyes one day and catch them off guard. So I'm going to be prepared so I don't have to mess with them. ”
Hearing this, Gu Yue was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I can understand your hard work, but your son and granddaughter may not be able to understand it. ”
"They don't need to understand." Zhang Enze waved his hand and said, "You help me choose a place, and I will operate the rest." Anyway, I still have a lot of private money, so I should have enough to do things. Actually, the cemetery is also quite good, but there are too many people, I don't want to squeeze with them, or I have a place by myself to be more comfortable. ”
"Hmm." Gu Yue Jushi nodded slightly, and then looked at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan comprehended and asked softly, "Elder Zhang, do you have any special requirements for site selection?" ”
"Generally." Zhang Enze Lei said: "Don't ask future generations to be rich or expensive, anyway, as long as their craftsmanship is not lost, it is enough for them to have food and clothing." ”
"Actually, I'm quite selfish, just take care of myself. I've been working hard all my life, and I plan to live in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers in a hundred years. When my children and grandchildren are free, it is best to visit me, but if I don't have time, I am accompanied by green mountains and green waters, and I am not lonely. ”
Zhang Enze is very open-minded and his tone is very sincere, letting everyone know that he is sincere.
"That's easy." Fang Yuan nodded slightly, feeling that this matter was within his ability and could be easily solved. To be honest, he was also afraid that Zhang Enze would make any excessive requests, and he would not be able to deal with it...... (To be continued......)
