740 coincides with the Year of Pickling
I also found a problem, after Xu Laosan wiped his face with wet wipes, his complexion was much richer, and there were very few wrinkles, which looked like he was forty-five or sixteen years old.
Now he is sitting in a precarious position, and he is not ashamed of Yunyou's emptiness, and he really frightened the restless Yuan Feifei.
Boss Lu emphasized Xu Laosan again: "Teacher Yuan, if you don't believe it, you can inquire in Zihuan County, Guandi Temple on Paohu Street, the name of Xu Daochang, after inquiring, you can decide if you need Xu Daochang to help you." ”
Yuan Feifei was noncommittal, sat there with a red face and didn't speak.
Her originally haggard and pale face looked sickly beautiful, but this time she became red, and she was a little more shy, which was more lethal to an old man like Xu Laosan.
My third grandfather held back his saliva and waved his hand to Boss Lu: "Xiao Lu, let's serve, you can't starve Xiao Yuan, at noon today, let's eat, as for whether the ghost is a ghost or not, that is, the matter of Dao Ye and I will stretch out my hand." ”
Xu Laosan said, looking at the cup in front of him, Dawu hurriedly poured him tea.
Xu Laosan didn't take the cup, and when he opened his mouth to suck, the water in the cup was sucked out by him.
Between the tea, from the cup to his mouth, it was pulled into a thin hanging line more than a foot long, and the last cup of water was drunk by him.
Dawu is Xu Laosan's dog, and he already knows how to cooperate, so he said with a straight face: "Boss Lu, Ms. Yuan, this is our Taoist's unique skill, the dragon absorbs water." ”
To be honest, although I can do this, even if I have divine power, I can't guarantee that I can drink water in the air without spilling a drop.
But Xu Laosan can do it, drink all the water, and not a drop is wasted.
For this, I admire it very much, my third grandfather is a master of real kung fu!
As soon as Dawu reported the name of the dragon absorbing water, Boss Lu immediately made an exaggerated expression: "Oh, the Taoist is really a master, this unique trick dragon absorbs water, it is really shocking!" ”
Xu Laosan made a very casual appearance, saying something unique, this is the introductory kung fu, and if you really want to catch ghosts, you don't need this, that is, it just makes everyone laugh.
"Humility! The Taoist is humble! The more high-ranking you are, the more humble you are! Boss Lu complimented repeatedly.
Dawu's introduction, Boss Lu's touting, and Xu Laosan's pretense were profound, which completely stunned Yuan Feifei this time.
Seeing that Xu Laosan's cup was empty, Yuan Feifei immediately stood up, and this time he also had a mental head, and poured water for Xu Laosan when he picked up the teapot.
Xu Laosan looked at Boss Lu and coughed lightly.
Boss Lu understood and immediately shouted outside the door: "Waiter, serve!" ”
Xu Laosan continued to put pen to paper: "Ahem, monks don't eat meat, Xiao Lu, don't let me break my vows, meat dishes can't be served, you'd better tell me, even if there is a drop of meat oil!" ”
Boss Lu is a frequent customer and knows that this is the best restaurant in Zihuan County, and there are vegetarian meals.
He immediately turned his head and told the waiter, don't serve all the dishes I ordered just now, I won't bully your restaurant, all the dishes I ordered just now are packed and taken away, and now, according to the instructions of the Taoist chief, all vegetarian meals will be served.
Boss Lu emphasized all three in a row, and the waiter didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately changed the dishes.
Da Wu secretly looked at me and pouted at me, which means that the Taoist chief is loaded with a pen, and we are going to eat monk dishes with us, and I originally wanted to eat a good meal.
I smiled, I had no choice but to cooperate with this old bachelor, it was rare for him to be attracted to a woman.
"Xiao Yuan, if you want to eat meat dishes, you can order it, it's okay." Xu Laosan said intimately.
"No, no, I've always been vegetarian." Yuan Feifei said.
Xu Laosan made an expression that introduced Yuan Feifei as a confidant, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Yuan, Gui Geng?" ”
Yuan Feifei didn't react, and blurted out to answer him: "Forty-one this year." ”
Dawu looked at me again, and I also looked at Dawu.
Both of us couldn't believe it, this Yuan Feifei looked like he was thirty-one or twelve years old at most, how could he be in his forties!
"Xiao Yuan, I'm not asking about your age privacy, just to confirm one thing, there is a saying in Zihuan County that forty-one years old is the year of pickling, which is the age to provoke tigers and wolves, so if you make a mistake this year, this will provoke ghosts to come to the door."
Yuan Feifei was stunned for a moment, and said Master, what is the year of pickling?
"Zihuan County has Qinglong Mountain Running Tiger Ridge, Peacock Island Old Turtle Pond, these four places, there is a secret, that is, the implied four elephants, known as the small four elephants, so the feng shui of Zihuan County is different from other places."
Xu Laosan paused when he said this.
Yuan Feifei estimated that he was tortured enough by the ghost at the door, so he looked at Xu Laosan with admiration at that time.
"People have zodiac signs, but in Zihuan County, there is only one age who calls himself a donkey, that is, forty-one years old, this is because, forty-one-year-old people, not protected by the little four elephants, are extremely easy to provoke dirty things, originally through the efforts of my master, to eliminate this hidden danger......"
I couldn't help it when I heard Xu Laosan flickering here.
He was purely bullying Yuan Feifei, a foreigner who resigned halfway and came to settle down with us.
The so-called forty-one-year-old donkey is actually in Zihuan County, there is a small story.
It is rumored that in a certain dynasty, there was a big official in Zihuan County.
Because he was the same age as the emperor, he was very good at talking, and he was also able to do things well, so he was a big celebrity around the emperor at that time.
As for the emperor, I don't know his age, and one day asked him, how old is Aiqing this year, and what is it?
The emperor didn't know his age, but he knew the emperor's age, and he said at that time, Your Majesty, the minister is forty-one this year, and he is a donkey.
The emperor was stunned at the time, thought for a while and said: "No, this age should belong to horses, besides, how can there be a donkey in the zodiac, you are teasing me!" ”
Teasing the emperor was a great crime of bullying the king, but the minister didn't panic at all.
"Your Majesty is a horse, and the minister does not dare to go hand in hand with Your Majesty, so it belongs to a donkey."
The more powerful a person is, the more he likes to pat himself on the back.
This sycophant emperor is very comfortable, and this minister has been promoted again, and he has been really beautiful for several years.
Later, when he returned to his hometown, a slave was drunk and poked out about it.
This matter has become the talk of Zihuan County, the streets and alleys, and the common people all say that being an official is really a nest, the emperor is a horse, you are a donkey, and you can't take care of the prime minister, and you don't want to have a face.
But let's think about it, this one who belongs to the donkey is actually the best person in the history of Zihuan County.
The people who laugh at him can't compare to him, so everyone feels that he is not as good as a donkey.
Later, everyone regarded the age of forty-one as a disgraceful age, that is, the pickled year that Xu Laosan said, forty-one-year-old people, when asked about their age, they generally try to avoid it.
That's the version I heard.
As a result, Xu Laosan was good, in order to fool Yuan Feifei, he had to pull the pickled year to the age of provoking dirty things, so I wanted to embarrass him a little at that time.
I didn't wait for Xu Laosan to continue to flicker, so I interrupted him and said Chief, you wait first, no, since your master has solved the problem of provoking dirty things in the pickled year, how can Teacher Yuan, still meet ghosts?
Xu Laosan's tirade was interrupted by me, and he was not angry.
"This is also a special case, since ancient times, how thin the life of the red face, Xiao Yuan is the kind of red face that can become a disaster, so he was targeted by that kind of jealous ghost."
I originally wanted to embarrass Xu Laosan, but he actually followed my words and praised Yuan Feifei for his beauty.
Men like to pat on the back, and women are no exception.
Xu Laosan said a word, Yuan Feifei's face turned even redder, if it wasn't for the start of serving food at this time, I guess she wouldn't be able to sit still.
To make a long story short, anyway, after a meal, everyone accompanied Xu Laosan to eat vegetarian dishes, and they had to endure all kinds of fools from him.
Except for Yuan Feifei, the three of us couldn't wait to go outside and call for a big meal of wine and meat.
After eating, Yuan Feifei never mentioned the matter of checking out again, but said that he was going back to his hometown recently, and he would come back in three or four days, and he would ask Xu Laosan to come to catch ghosts.
"I don't know the Taoist, how do you charge?" Yuan Feifei asked embarrassedly.
She looked at Xu Laosan's immortal wind bones, and was afraid that she would invite such a master to come forward, the cost was too high, and she couldn't afford it.
Xu Laosan waved his hand and said: "It is the duty of my generation to subdue demons and eliminate demons, how can there be any reason to collect money!" ”
I said pretend, continue to pretend!
After the banquet was dispersed, Yuan Feifei left first, and Boss Lu stuffed a red envelope to Xu Laosan: "Dao Chief, how can there be any reason to let you work in vain, this money should be regarded as the carriage and horse fee for catching ghosts, you must accept it." ”
Xu Laosan was polite, but finally accepted it, with a smile on his face, and waited for the time to help the beauty catch the ghost.
