After thinking about it repeatedly, he couldn't get the point, and Hou Lao's heart was cold. But it wasn't because he couldn't recognize the symptoms of this person in the clinic, or because he had doubts about the Houmen mental method where the sect was located.

The important thing is that the patient in front of him is not the first case, just in the past few days, Hou Lao's small clinic has received dozens of batches of patients with the same symptoms, each of them is mentally listless, and then there is a lot of mental energy in the body inexplicably.

He was thinking about this when he suddenly felt a cold snap hit under his feet.

He looked down and realized that at some point, the rain mixed with the river water had spread into the clinic and flooded to his ankles.

Hou Lao's brows furrowed again, he himself was a native, and he had the impression that even if the flood situation was severe before, it didn't seem to be so serious. As a city built along the river, flood control every summer is the top priority of the government's work.

In previous years, there were no accidents in which the river broke its embankment, but they were all quickly controlled, and it was impossible for even his small clinic to be immersed in the river, so you can imagine how bad the city has been at this moment.

Of course, as a cultivator of the Daomen, Hou Lao didn't care too much about how the government departments dealt with it, and he didn't even care about what kind of consequences would happen if the river broke the embankment.

At least that's what Hou Lao, who is a descendant of the Hou Sect, thinks.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that the water that had submerged his ankles seemed to be hidden in the mysterious power, this breath was cold and cold at first, but there was also a watery breath that gave birth to all things, very similar to the supreme method of the legendary Buddhist "Guanyin" or "Qingshui Guan".

Hou Lao jumped slightly, and the burly figure landed lightly on the table, he looked at the water flow on the ground, and saw that the water in the corner of the wall was covered with white foam after repeated impacts, but the breath he felt just now was gone.

Suddenly, there was a "bang", and a bell rang in the distance, which was not particularly loud, but a little dull. But in the sound of the wind, rain, and water, it is still very clear.

Hou Lao's face changed, and the bell came from the northeast. The bells of "Bang Bang" are constantly ringing, and there is a strange rhythm in the middle. Many people in a rainstorm will ignore it, they will not hear the bell, or even if they do, they will ignore the past.

But in addition to many people, there are some very few people. The bell rang for them. Because this bell is simply the summoning signal of the Zhonghua Daomen Star City.

……

Renmin Middle Road, in fact, is only three stations long, but it is famous for the many restaurants that once gathered. In its heyday, it was difficult to find a parking space when it was a moment late, not to mention the location of the box. And now, Renmin Road, known as the first street of catering, only Furong Restaurant remains.

Because of the pouring rain, the number of customers in the world has dropped sharply. So Master Yang is very comfortable at the moment with a cup of tea, guiding the apprentices. As a chef, in addition to instructing his subordinates, he invents or experiments with various combinations of foods.

His biggest source of income is also this, every invention of a new dish, will bring him a lot of income, so in the eyes of most people, he is undoubtedly a particularly enviable group of people, every day thinking about how to eat better, in fact, Master Yang himself is also very satisfied with this life, he is now over 60 years old, no son, but two daughters do not have to worry about him at all.

If it weren't for the bell that appeared almost every day in his dreams, and when he was awake, he would not remember it at all.

Master Yang felt that his life would pass like this.

However, in the midst of the wind and the rain, he suddenly heard a distant chime, as if it was because of the wind and rain, or because the beater deliberately used a special force, the bell was dull, but clear.

Master Yang was stunned, and let out a long breath after half a sound, he smiled and beckoned, and a middle-aged man who looked extremely honest not far away immediately walked over with a plate.

This is a plate of steamed elbows, with thick flesh at each end, and a bone sticking out from each end, just like the exaggerated technique in the comics, which can arouse a strong appetite at a glance.

The white porcelain plate has a pale blue pattern on the edges, and the meat and skin of the elbow are steamed, giving it a transparent feeling.

Master Yang picked up a pair of black chopsticks, but only dipped a little bit of the sauce on the plate, tasted it slightly, and said: "This dish is my famous signature dish, and it has always been the foundation of our Furong Restaurant, elbow is actually a home-cooked dish, steamed or braised or braised or braised The key is how to prepare the sauce, you have been with me for nearly 20 years, and the mastery of the heat is naturally not a problem......

The middle-aged man immediately bowed down to listen, knowing that this was a rare opportunity, the master directly instructed, "Yes, master, please taste the meat, the elbow with the skin, as well as the meat and oil under the skin, how to grasp the heat, the disciple has indeed put a lot of painstaking work." ”

"Fart's hard work!" Master Yang threw the chopsticks, "The more you think, the more you make mistakes, this elbow is no matter the flesh and skin, you want it to be rotten, and you have to serve it quickly, there is only high pressure, so can you control the pot?" ”

The middle-aged man didn't know why Master Yang threw the chopsticks directly, those chopsticks seemed to be Master Yang's treasure, he quickly picked up the black chopsticks, respectfully put them on Master Yang's bowl, and said, "Master, do you mean that there is no pressure cooker or microwave oven, and it is easy to stew an elbow?" ”

Master Yang said, "This is what I want to teach you in the end, eating is to survive as a biological instinct, in other words, to be able to eat, and only after being able to eat is to be full, and only after eating can you pay attention to the taste, which is the so-called good or not." “

The middle-aged man listened more and more respectfully, and he obviously felt that Master Yang was embarrassed in his usual state, but his personality had always been calm, and he didn't dare to ask more rashly, just said: "Master, you continue!" ”

Chef Yang continued: "You have been with me for eight years, but you have only learned one dish of elbows repeatedly, do you think it is not worth it?" "Master, what's wrong with you?" Although the middle-aged man was honest, he was not stupid, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What happened to the master?" (To be continued.) )
