Chapter 38 Raw and Regular
The section of the road where the accident occurred was in the front section of the East Second Ring Road. From the Jingshi University Hall to the Imperial Dining Room in Haizi Hutong, Liu Fei's route was to turn from the north-south elevated highway to the north second ring road and then to the east second ring road -- if he continued to drive on the elevated road, he would be as tightly blocked as several people from the Huajian Third Bureau.
That's pretty good.
If you calculate the time accurately, they are almost synchronized with the two vindictive cars, and if they are unlucky, they will be affected, which is a bloody disaster.
Liu Fei admired Duan Tianqing again, and had to admit that he acted for a reason at any time.
"It's nothing."
Duan Tianqing didn't think it was strange at all, for him, it had become an instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, "When Grandpa was young, he could drive all the way through Xiafei Road, haven't you heard of this?" β
The grandfather of the Duan family is also a strange person, he is Duan Tianqing's great-grandparents. He has lived to be 100 years old now, and his body is still very healthy, which is a rare longevity for a physiognomy master.
When he was young, he was a famous playboy in Huaihai, one of the first batch of new humans who drove Dodge cars on Xiafei Road. His sensitivity to good luck and evil is beyond Duan Tianqing's reach, and red lights are considered "fierce" to him, so it is always a green light to go out.
Of course Liu Fei has heard this story - Grandpa Duan has always loved to brag about his courage at the dinner table, and Liu Fei has been tortured more than once.
"Didn't the ancestor say that he lost his skills, so the blessing is not eternal, although he enjoys a long life, but he is alone, is it difficult to finish speaking?" Liu Fei also felt in private that going out to see a traffic light had to be calculated, which was a bit too much, and it was too contemptuous of physiognomy and metaphysics.
Duan Tianqing was silent, this was his father's evaluation, of course he didn't have to say anything.
However, the Duan family has been inherited for 400 years, and Grandpa Duan is the one who really enjoys great luck, almost having to be windy and rainy. Although it has gone through many twists and turns, and has encountered the great changes of the last century, it is still standing, and this so-called "blessing" is also the best.
On the contrary, Duan Tianqing's branch, from his own great-grandfather, grandfather to father, three generations are conscientious and cautious. However, they all died young, although it is inevitable that the leakage of heaven will reduce the number of lifespans, but after all, it is also a relationship with insufficient foundation.
Duan Tianqing has also been educated to be cautious and cautious since he was a child, and a sentence that his father has always said is "Zhuge is only cautious in his life" - Zhuge Liang is wise and close to a demon, and is regarded as the ancestor of those who know the destiny of heaven.
He just kept the mandate of heaven and didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, but he was still fifty-five years old and collapsed in the middle of the road, and the star fell in Wuzhang Plain.
ββWhen I was a child, Duan Tianqing felt that this was really not a good example.
Later, Duan Tianqing read more classics, and one day suddenly realized the truth of "guarding the heavenly opportunity and blessing it, and using it when the heavenly opportunity is obtained".
It's a pity that his father and grandfather have been dead for many years at that time, and he can't get up underground to tell them such a reason.
And although the grandfather of the Duan family may not have summed up the same set of truths like him, perhaps because of the preservation of great fortune, he naturally followed the way of heaven, and it is not known.
Of course, Liu Fei didn't know what Duan Tianqing was thinking.
He was trying to make himself look like it wasn't his first time here, and volunteered to walk in front of him, passing through a corridor of fragrant wood, and then turning a rockery, only to see a pavilion in the middle of the winding path. Inside, the wine table and tableware have been set up, the table is arranged with all kinds of delicate snacks and fruits, and there is a faint sound of babbling Kunqu opera outside, but there is not a single waiter.
"This imperial dining room is taking the high-level and quiet route? Why didn't anyone come to greet him? Liu Fei was a little dazed, and asked in a low voice like Duan Tianqing.
If you haven't been here, you really have to be timid.
Duan Tianqing smiled, walked to the front of the hall, found a seat to sit down, picked up the fragrant tea, and gently pushed his wrist forward.
Immediately, someone came out of a gap out of nowhere, and skillfully took the hand wash basin and hot towel.
Duan Tianqing put down the teacup and wiped his hands, "Bring me some white water." β
The waiter bowed down to receive the order, stepped down and took a 500ml bottle of mineral water, opened the seal and poured it into a delicate small electric kettle, and heated it on the spot.
"Shangri-La water - there are thirty-six bottles in the supermarket, and it's strange that it doesn't sell one hundred or eight here." Liu Fei stuck out his tongue and felt sorry for the money.
Duan Tianqing ignored him, waited for the water to boil, poured a cup and cooled, and prepared it for Xiao Shark. He took a tribute orange and peeled it off, carefully picked out the white tendons, and then handed it to the little shark.
Xiao Shark ate two petals and felt delicious, so he also stuffed it into Duan Tianqing's mouth.
"And."
Duan Tianqing reached out and took another one.
The waiter hurried over, "Guest, we'll help you peel it off." β
"No, you don't."
Duan Tianqing shook his head, "It's enough to eat two." β
He turned his head and explained to Xiao Shark, "This is a Mizhou Gong Tangerine, because it is born in alkaline land, it has little water, it is sweet and refreshing, but it has extremely strong medicinal properties. Yan Song, a bachelor in the Ming Dynasty, was addicted to food to quench his thirst, but he also injured his liver and kidneys. According to research, you finally got uremia and died, and you are weak and can't eat more. β
"Hmm."
The little shark stared at it and swallowed his saliva, but still nodded obediently and held back the gluttony.
Dad never said missed.
The waiter was greatly impressed, "Guest, you are an old eater, this is the reason Chef Yu told us, saying that it is impossible for ordinary people to know." Wait a minute, I'll ask the chef to confirm the menu with you. β
The authentic orange of Mizhou Gong is very rare nowadays. The main reason is that the industrialization construction has taken away the living space of this variety with harsh growing conditions, and there are few opportunities to eat Mizhou tribute oranges, where can I still understand the truth of eating?
Looking at the leopard in the tube, it can be seen that Duan Tianqing just made the people in the imperial dining room recognize his attainments in "eating" and gave the hospitality standards to the old guests.
- Check the menu.
This used to be the standard procedure for Old Man Yu, the current chef's grandfather, when he opened the restaurant, but now only regular customers have the opportunity to see the menu.
Liu Fei wanted to pretend again, "No need to confirm, I believe in Master Yu's craftsmanship." β
The waiter bowed his head, fortunately they were well trained, otherwise they would have to hide their mouths and smile.
Duan Tianqing said indifferently: "I want to take a look." What's the main course today? β
The waiter smiled: "It's the chef's best orchid bear paw, this pair of bear paws only arrived three days ago." After cleaning it, it has been stuffy, and today the heat is enough, which can be regarded as a blessing for the guests. β
He added, "If a guest wants to ask for details, I'll ask the chef to come over." β
Duan Tianqing nodded slightly, "Okay, there are a few condiments in it, I want to confirm with Master Yu." β
The waiter stepped back. Liu Fei was a little embarrassed and laughed dryly.
