Chapter 2 Rushing to the Market
Today is the day of the market, according to the past practice, as long as the people who work nearby, at the beginning of the month and in the middle of the month will rush home to have a meal, to treat themselves, so the business of the restaurant will not be very good, Long Qian will give the workers a day off on this day, and let them go back. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Since it is a market, there will be a market. The market in Longyang Town is generally set up in front of the Yunyin Temple in the east of the town. Most of the people in Longyang Town are devout Buddhist believers, and the sesame oil money for the temple will be a little more generous, and the monks of Yunyin Temple are not very many, but they cover a large area, especially the backyard is planted with a large area of mountain fields, and the monks will pick a large number of vegetables from the back when they are in the market, and the residents will exchange some grain, oil, cloth and other daily necessities, and the price in exchange is often about twice as low as the outside; At the end of the year, most of the sesame oil money was donated to repair bridges and roads, repair colleges, and maintain a thriving bond between Yunyin Temple and the residents of Longyang Town.
Long Xiang has been here a few times before, he usually will look in front of the stall to see if there are some small objects that he is interested in, he has changed some ingredients before, and local specialties, he does not dare to change toys and the like, once he takes it back, he will be thrown away by Long Gan, and then beaten.
However, he was not in a very good mood today, perhaps because of the events of last night, he decided to go to Yunyin Temple to go around, hoping to use the Mahayana Buddhism to calm his mood.
"There are so many people!" The weather is sunny today, and the weather in May is very warm, so there are a little more people today, Long Xiang muttered dissatisfiedly, he doesn't like to stay in crowded places.
Finally squeezed in, the mountain gate of Yunyin Temple is very large, and it is now crowded with people, more than a dozen monks of Yunyin Temple are carrying some of the things that have been exchanged to the temple, and then help move those vegetables down the mountain and send them to other people's homes.
There are many people and more mixed, there are two small monks standing in front of the gate, looking at the crowd in front of them, and there is a box next to each other, which is a merit box dedicated to throwing money into the guests.
Long Xiang nodded to the two monks, threw a hundred-yuan bill into the box at the door, and observed the expressions of the two little monks in the corner of his eye. To Long Xiang's disappointment, the two little monks did not look at him. It seems that this Yunyin Temple really lives up to its reputation.
After entering the door, the eye is a release pond of about 500 square meters, there are two rows of ancient trees next to the release pond, after the release pond is Wei Dao Palace, and then after that is the Daxiong Treasure Palace. On the left-hand side is an incense and candle shop, as well as several souvenir shops selling some Buddhist ritual utensils, Buddhist beads. Behind these shops are the Scripture Pavilion and the Lecture Hall. On the right hand side is the dining hall, the building of the dining hall is relatively large, and the temple has been expanded several times since it was built, because there are often pilgrims who will set up a feast in Yunyin Temple. The meditation room behind the dining hall is relatively dilapidated, the door is full of birds, and the paint on the door has fallen off a lot, but the ground is very clean. After that, there is a large area, a large area of mountain fields, all the way down from the back of the mountain, standing on the edge of the release pond Long Xiang can see the monks working on the mountain, and there are several huge waterwheels constantly turning, clouds and mist, also immortal and illusory.
Long Xiang visited them one by one, from the hall to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, from the Wei Dao Hall to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and finally came to Yamada. Along the way, Long Xiang's mood has also faded a lot, and he is not as heavy as when he first entered the temple gate.
Seeing that the sun was about to be in the middle of the day, it was estimated that it would be noon soon, and Long Xiang decided to go back to have a meal and then prepare for the afternoon training.
The people in the bazaar also began to pack up their things, and the fire in the hall began to be lit to prepare for the noon meal, and the number of people in the temple suddenly increased. Long Xiang was just about to squeeze out of the temple gate, but was pushed back by three people in red robes.
"Who doesn't have long eyes, dare to stand in the way of the master." A man in the middle, rubbing his thin hands, shouted at the top of his voice.
The two next to him were a little shorter, with fat faces, and said again: "Young master, isn't this the little young master of the Longyang restaurant opposite?" ”
Long Xiang looked at the three people in front of him and remembered that it was the young master of Shui Yunxuan opposite Longyang Restaurant, and his two doglegs.
When Longyang Restaurant did not return to Longyang, Shui Yunxuan was one of the best in the entire Longyang Town, but after Long Qian came, Shui Yunxuan was no longer the leader, fortunately, Shui Yunxuan was mainly engaged in official business, and Longyang Restaurant was in civilian business, which was not a very big blow to Shui Yunxuan.
But when the rumors outside, when the evaluation of Longyang Restaurant was getting higher and higher, Shui Yunxuan couldn't sit still.
Zhai Xing, the master of Shui Yunxuan, has begun to hire two Fujian prefecture-level chefs with high salaries outside, and he has also taken some disgraceful paths.
This has a father and a son, Zhai Li, as Zhai Xing's only son, is the true biography of Zhai Xing, insidious and cunning, bitter and mean. The market is going to disperse at noon, what is there to shop, why rush over? Because he slept until three o'clock in the morning before he got up, he knew that Longyang Restaurant would have a holiday today, so he sent someone to keep an eye on it early in the morning. Seeing Long Xiang coming to the market, he hurried over in a hurry.
Long Xiang knew what his current situation was, and he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he leaned sideways and wanted to go over. This Zhai Li came to find fault on purpose, how could he let him go so easily. gave the fat man next to him a look, the fat man understood, and grabbed Long Xiang's collar: "What, I just want to leave like this, don't I apologize?" ”
This fat man was Long Xiang's opponent, and before the fat man finished speaking, he grabbed the fat man's wrist and threw the fat man to the ground with a force. This fat man seems to have one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds, but it is fat, and he has no strength at all, and he is stunned when he lies on the ground, and he doesn't know what to do.
Fortunately, Zhai Li reacted quickly, he was going to take advantage of the large number of people, thinking of beating Long Xiang here, and then leading Long Qian to find his father's theory, and then he didn't admit it with a dead face, and the son of ordinary people was beaten, so he could swallow this breath, as long as Long Qian was impulsive and did something out of the ordinary, then with the relationship between his father's black and white, then Longyang Restaurant could still do it, then he would not be surnamed Zhai.
But when Zhai Li saw that the fat man was dragged down like this, he knew that these two or three people were not enough for Long Xiang to beat, so he shouted loudly: "Folks, come and see, the young master of Longyang Restaurant has beaten people." ”
Long Xiang snorted, he has experienced betrayal and separation since he was a child, and he is warm and cold, this kind of low-level splashing dirty water, Long Xiang is still good at playing compared to Zhai Li, and asked Zhai Li rhetorically: "That person did it first, but he couldn't beat me before he fell to the ground, and the three of you, I am alone, you call the big guy to say, who beat people?" ”
The eyes of the masses are bright, and the onlookers say a word, and I say a word.
"yes, the three of you are much stronger than him, I think it's on purpose."
"I saw that it was the fat man's hand that moved first, and others fought back."
Some of them also recognized Zhai Li and sneered: "It turned out to be the little young master of Shui Yunxuan, who didn't go to molest the little girl in the west of the village, and went here to worship the Buddha?" ”
"Haha, I've heard about the reputation of the young master of the Zhai family for a long time, it seems that I was wrong before, the young master of the Zhai family is also a person who worships the Buddha!"
Zhai Li's face was red for a while, white for a while, the green tendons on his neck were violent, and there was a fat man next to him, it is estimated that he used to bully the market and tease women from good families, but now he can't stand up to watching this scene, pulling the corner of Zhai Li's clothes, and said tremblingly: "Young master, what should I do, let's go back!" ”
If it weren't for the fact that in front of everyone, Zhai Li slapped him and said: Useless things, go back and clean you up.
Zhai Li was not afraid of the backlash, strode forward, facing Long Xiang, and said provocatively: "It's my people who do it first, you are reasonable." My skills are not as good as others, and I was abandoned by you, and I admit it. But if you let me Zhai Li swallow this breath and let you go, then I Zhai Li won't have to mess around in Longyang Town anymore. ”
Long Xiang didn't want to cause trouble, but it didn't mean that he was afraid of things, so he raised his head and replied, "Then what do you want?" ”
"Hmph, what do I think? You are the young master of Longyang Restaurant, I am the young shopkeeper of Shui Yunxuan, if you say that you fight, it is a rough man's doing, then it is better to say that the two of us try our cooking skills. If you win, that's it; If I win, when you see me in the future, Zhai Li, then you must be respectful and courteous. ”
When Long Xiang heard this, he said: "When I came this morning, I saw a cabbage seller on the road, I asked him how to exchange a pound of cabbage, and he said that he would ask for ten yuan, and then a pound of noodles and two packs of salt!" ”
"Ah, haha, it's just stupid to be someone else! Half a catty of dried noodles can be exchanged for a catty of cabbage, and it costs ten yuan. ”
"Yes, what kind of stall is this, I'll go see it later, it's so good at business."
Zhai Li was confused, but he definitely knew that Long Xiang was definitely scolding him, but he was now a bit like a monk in Zhanger, and he was confused.
Long Xiang waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and explained: "You don't need to look for it, this stall is not outside, it is here." You Zhai family eldest young master, your business is simply profitable, I won nothing, if you lose, you will lose nothing, you say that if you go to sell cabbage, it will not make more money than you opening a restaurant! ”
At this time, everyone understood that Long Xiang was referring to Sang scolding Huai, and what he was talking about was Zhai Li, and he burst into laughter in an instant. Zhai Li's face was flushed, and his seven orifices were smoking, and he said, "Okay, you say, what do you want to do if you win?" ”
"If I win, I just want the treasure of your Zhaijia Town store, do you dare to give it?" This is what Long Xiang wants, so he quickly pick it up and don't give Zhai Li the slightest chance to hesitate.
The treasure of Shuiyunxuan's town store, the people of Longyang Town know that it is a Zhenlong altar, I heard that this altar is one meter high, 30 centimeters wide up and down, 50 centimeters wide in the middle, the whole body is black, there are no carved ornaments, and it does not attract people's attention. But this Zhenlongtan has a magical effect, that is, all the dishes cooked in this altar can be shortened by half, and it can also maintain the freshness of the food, without losing the taste, this Longyang Town and the surrounding residents are also honored to eat the cuisine of this Zhenlongtan!
