"Okay!" Zuo Shaoyang said, "One more thing, well, I want to buy some rice seeds, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Rice seeds, ......?" As soon as he said this, Team Fu's face was pulled down, and he said lightly: "This, if there are not many of them, it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

"Not much, not much, our family doesn't have much land in the first place."

"Then ......, I'll talk about it after I report to the general."

"Okay."

Zuo Shaoyang took Bai Zhihan back to the pharmacy. Seeing Xiao Yunfei in the pharmacy, and seeing him coming back, he smiled and said, "Brother, let's go!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang was still thinking about how to find someone to farm the land, and when he heard what he said, he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and asked, "Where to go?" ”

"You're really, okay, where will you eat with me!" Xiao Yunfei said with a smile.

"Oh yes," Zuo Shaoyang patted his head, "I'm so busy that I forgot about it, how to get there?" In the city or outside the city? ”

"Eat a meal and run out of town? You're not tired, I'm still tired. Right next to Seifuji Temple. ”

"Huh? You used to live in Seifuji Temple, huh? ”

"No, I don't have a fixed place to live, it's just a quiet place, just a temporary excuse to eat and drink."

Zuo Shaoyang was surprised and delighted: "Drinking? Do you still have wine? ”

"Look at your gluttony, beware of swallowing your tongue." Xiao Yunfei smiled, "Let's go!" ”

After Zuo Shaoyang said something to his father, he followed Xiao Yun out of the back door, walked through the alley, and came to Qingfeng Temple. It was still deserted inside, passing through the monk's room, coming out of the back door, behind which was a vegetable patch, surrounded by a fence wall, but there was not a single vegetable, and it had already been stolen by the hungry people. Next to the wall of Seifuji Temple, there is a small two-story wooden building. Step on the creaking stairs and go up to the second floor.

There was an old woman at the top of the stairs, her back slightly hunched, squinting, seeing them coming up, busy with blessings.

Xiao Yunfei said: "Her surname is Huang, just teach her Huang Po, she is my servant." ”

"You're a flying ......, ahem, and a minion?"

Xiao Yunfei smiled: "We can't have servants?" ”

"It's also said that if you are rich, you are the boss."

"I don't have any money!"

"Yes, yes, I forgot, except for enough to eat, the rest of the money was donated to the temple. What a man! ”

Zuo Shaoyang walked into the room as he spoke, and saw a square table by the window on the second floor, with several exquisite dishes on the table, both meat and vegetarian, and a small jar of wine next to it, a wine cup with warm wine, and two small porcelain cups.

Zuo Shaoyang's eyes were straight, he hadn't eaten meat dishes for two months, he saw that Harazi was about to come down, walked over, smelled the aroma of wine again, and couldn't wait, opened the lid of the small wine jar, leaned his nose over and inhaled hard, and a fragrance refreshed his heart and spleen. Praise: "Good wine! It's really good wine! ”

Xiao Yunfei stroked his beard and smiled: "This is called chrysanthemum wine." It was supposed to be drunk during the Chung Yeung Festival, but I liked it very much, so I got it. This wine is light and has an endless aftertaste, which is very suitable for female ......, well, we old people drink. I don't know if you like it or not. ”

"It's okay, just have wine."

"Okay, sit down."

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly took off his robe and sat down, looked at the table full of exquisite dishes, and said with a smile: "Now that the city is full of famine, you can still eat such exquisite wine and food, it's really amazing!" ”

Xiao Yunfei smiled and said, "Famine in the city? Hehe, that's ordinary people, and the officials are still eating with their mouths full of oil, and they are full of wine and food. What they eat, I eat. ”

"Oh, so you came with all these dishes? Hey, hey, awesome! ”

"Not to mention anything else, a few of Ouyang Thorn Shi's cooks are really good, and the general's cooks are also okay, I have come back with a few plates each, and I will give you a taste," Xiao Yunfei smiled, pointed to a plate of tofu and said: "This plate, called 'Diao Chan Tofu', is cooked with loaches and tofu." ”

"Ha, what's the point of this?"

"Dong Zhuo is old and cunning, pervasive, like a loach, the sable cicada is as clean as the bright moon, like tofu, in this dish, the live loach escapes the soup and burrows into the tofu, isn't it the same as Dong Zhuo dying in the arms of the beautiful sable cicada?"

"I see, it's very vivid!" Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile. Pointing to a dish, white like a silkworm chrysalis, "What is this?" ”

"This dish is called 'Grilled Fish Blessing'."

"Is there a pawn too?"

"Absolutely." Xiao Yunfei said: "Legend has it that the first Qin Emperor Qin Shi Huang liked to eat fish, but he was afraid of thorns, because he was pierced by thorns when he ate fish, and killed many cooks. ”

"It's all murderous? It's brutal! ”

"But there is no one who is powerful and powerful who does not careless of human life!"

"That's it, you go on."

Xiao Yunfei said again: "Qin Shi Huang traveled this day, and when he arrived in Fushan, Shandong, he wanted to eat fish again, so he called a local celebrity chef to help him make fish dishes. The cook knew that the catastrophe was coming, and in a hurry, he sprinkled his anger on the fish, put the fish on the board and slapped a few times, cursing the fish for harming his surname, and there was no way to escape, so he could only make the fish meat into balls for Qin Shi Huang to eat, but after Qin Shi Huang ate it, he was not hurt by the fish at all. The cook escaped with his life, and after pondering, he realized that he had slapped the fish on the board before, but separated the flesh from the bones. After that, he relied on this dish to get the emperor's grace, and he lived a long life, so he called this dish Grilled Fish Fu. ”

Zuo Shaoyang sighed: "Alas, a companion is like a tiger, this cook is also lucky, such a fluke, I'm afraid that I can't find one out of ten." ”

"Yes," Xiao Yunfei ordered a few other dishes with chopsticks: "These dishes are famous, I'll tell you slowly when I eat them later, let's eat them first!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang took the wine cup, poured two glasses of wine first, raised it and said, "Brother, this time the famine is calamity, if it weren't for your help, our whole family would have starved to death." I toast you! ”

Xiao Yunfei smiled: "Don't say that, if you hadn't saved me, I would have died in the hands of Kuai, where is my turn to save you." I should respect you first. ”

"Then let's respect each other!" The two looked at each other and smiled, and tilted their necks to drink the wine in their glasses.

This wine is really mellow and luscious, the wine is strong, and the mouth is full of fragrance.

Xiao Yunfei put down the cup and lifted the chopsticks, but when he saw Zuo Shaoyang but didn't move the chopsticks, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Eat!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang said gloomily: "Daddy and mother can only drink thin medicine porridge now, I can't eat enough, and people are swollen, think about them, how can I still have the heart to push the cup and change the cup in this big fish and meat." Forget it, I won't eat it, go back and drink medicinal porridge with them. Then he stood up and arched his hands and walked out.

"Wait!" Xiao Yunfei said, "It's okay to go, let's take the bamboo basket by the door." That's what I prepared for the second elder. ”

"What?" Zuo Shaoyang glanced back at him, "For my father?" ”

"Hmm!"

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly squatted down, uncovered the hijab of the bamboo basket, and there was a food box inside, and opened the food box again, the aroma was fragrant, it turned out to be a small pot of white rice, and exquisite dishes with three meat and two vegetables. There is also a small gourd wine next to it.

Zuo Shaoyang was surprised and delighted: "...... are you?" ”

"I'm not as ruthless as you think," Xiao Yunfei said leisurely, "However, there's only so much I can do, it's okay to help the second elder, but don't expect me to help the other messy bunch of people." I'm not a thief, and I'm not a gentleman, so don't let me do good deeds with my head up. ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "You have done a lot of good deeds, and the gods and Buddhas in the sky have not lost your ......benefits," I wanted to ridicule a few sentences, but seeing Xiao Yunfei's face sank, he hurriedly changed his words: "I'm sorry, I don't mean to be disrespectful to the gods and Buddhas, I mean that if you donate so much money to the temple and devote yourself to worshiping the Buddha, the Buddha will definitely bless you." ”

Xiao Yunfei turned her anger into joy: "Okay, I'll ask Huang Po to help you deliver the food." Come back and eat. ”

After Huang Po gave the salute, she left with the food.

Zuo Shaoyang returned to his seat and clenched his fists: "Thank you, brother, for your thoughtfulness." ”

He didn't know the taste of meat for two months, but now that his parents have wine and meat, he can eat at ease.

Xiao Yunfei ate very little, and the wine was also a symbol of his surname, so he put it down after taking a sip, and said that he had walked outside in various temples in the past two months to donate alms.

Outside the window is the Shijing River, the flowing water is murmuring, it is already spring in March, the spring flowers are blooming, the river breeze is blowing, and it is warm. Only at this moment, it was drizzling outside. In the evening, it is even more gloomy.

It was getting dark, Zuo Shaoyang burped and said, "Full of wine and food, brother, I want to go to Abbot Zhikong, can you accompany me?" ”

Xiao Yunfei said: "If you want a little more food every day, then you don't have to go to him, just look for me, because I asked them to do this, and you know, it's all for your good." In fact, Abbot Zhikong gave you a fixed ration every day, which is enough for your family to eat. However, your family's heart is too good to see others suffering, so you can only suffer yourself. This is something I cannot tolerate. This year's farming work is delayed, but I am afraid that there will be no harvest for a year. Even if we have the courage to sow the rice seeds, and there are no hungry people who secretly pick seeds and cut seedlings to eat, there will be no harvest until after autumn, according to my estimates, in the past half a year, we Hezhou will be very bitter, and there is not much food, even if there is, it will definitely be frighteningly high. I can't stay in Hezhou all the time, as soon as the war is over here, I may have to leave and continue to wander the world. You are my savior, I must save you once, save people to the end, I can't walk on the front foot, you will starve to death on the back foot. I couldn't bear it, so I made this cruel and helpless decision. ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "I understand all this, but I also have a decision, I want to talk to you and Abbot Zhikong." If you don't want to go to him, can you invite him here? ”

"What decision?"

He came and said.

Xiao Yunfei smiled and said, "If you want to persuade me to give you additional daily rations, then you are wrong." ”

"It's never too late to hear first."

"Good!" At this time, Huang Po had already sent back the food, and Xiao Yunfei asked her to invite Abbot Zhikong to discuss something.

Huang Po went out and quickly brought Abbot Zhikong here.
