Zeng Lao saw Tang Chen eating happily, and said with a smile: "Master Tang, you shouldn't have eaten this 'noodle batter', right?"

Tang Chen shook his head and didn't answer.

The fourth brother admired Tang Chen's straightforwardness very much, and there was a smile in his eyes: "Xiao Tang, there is a legend about the origin of this noodle paste. It is said that when Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to a small village called Luojia Village in Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. At that time, there was a shortage of food, and the villagers were all too poor to open the pot. For this reason, the villagers were so anxious that they couldn't think of anything to eat to entertain the emperor. Qianlong got off the sedan chair at the door of Yixiucai's house, and the people in the village sweated for Xiucai. Xiucai's wife was in a hurry, found some leftover pig bones and fish from the harvest in the corner of the wall, washed them and boiled them out a bowl of soup, and then went to the cabinet to sweep out a handful of crushed noodles and a handful of potato flour, and made a bowl of noodles with it. After Qianlong ate it, he felt that the taste was very delicious, and immediately asked what kind of dish this was?

Of course, Xiucai can't tell the truth, and let the emperor know that he is eating leftover pig bones, fish bones, noodles, and potato flour, isn't this self-defeating?

When Qianlong heard this, Long Yan was overjoyed, and asked what this 'dragon beard and pearl porridge' was made of? This Xiucai's wife was really a coincidence, and immediately replied boldly, this is an ancestral secret recipe, processed with high-quality noodles and special refined sweet potato powder. Emperor Qianlong was very happy, and said yes again and again, and rewarded the Xiucai family with a lot of money and silver.

Since then, the batter has spread. Of course, although this legendary story is talked about, it is impossible to verify whether it is true or not......"

Tang Chen knew that this sweet potato refers to two crops in the north and south, in the northern region it mainly refers to sweet potato and sweet potato, while in some parts of the south it refers to jicama, kudzu and kudzu potato, which are two different species. If this story is true, then Emperor Qianlong misunderstood himself, and the sweet potato flour that people in Fujian Province said was kudzu potato flour or tapioca flour and the like, while Emperor Qianlong thought that he was eating sweet potato flour. Tang Chen didn't have a good impression of the Qing Dynasty, and he didn't care if Emperor Qianlong ate "low" food, but the wisdom shown by the people of Fujian Province in order to survive was indeed admirable.

After breakfast, they set off.

Driven by the bodyguard and driver, the three of them sat on the Audi A4L and galloped straight to Hui'an.

Hui'an is very close to Quanzhou, which can be reached in about half an hour.

The scenery along the way was very beautiful, and the fourth brother seemed to be in a good mood, and asked, "Xiao Tang, have you ever known Hui An?"

Tang Chen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned around and smiled: "I know that Hui An's stone carvings are very famous, I know a stone carving master in Panzhou, who learned from Hui An, and Zeng Lao also knows." ”

Zeng Lao smiled but did not answer, the fourth brother said: "Hui (hui) encore is not only stone carving, but also major ports, from north to south has Meizhou Bay, Dagang Bay, Quanzhou Bay, Jingfeng Douwei Port, Chongwu Port, Xiutu Port and Gongchuan Port and other natural harbors, you arrive in Hui'an, but you have to taste the authentic Hui'an food." In addition to stone carvings, there are shadow carvings, porcelain carvings, clay carvings, and even lacquer carvings and rock carvings! There is also the ancient city of Chongwu, which is the largest and most complete granite coastal stone city in China, and there are also Luoyang Bridge, Zhaohui Temple, Yibo Temple and Gujing Temple, ......"

Listening to the fourth brother gushing about the attractions, specialties and delicacies of Hui'an, he was comparable to a most dedicated tour guide, but Tang Chen listened drowsily.

There's no way, Tang Chen is not a local, and he can't feel how good these things are through words.

Even if you experience it yourself, you won't have much empathy.

This is also human nature, after all, people always subconsciously think that their hometown is the best.

Finally waiting for the fourth brother to finish speaking, Zeng Lao interjected: "Master Tang, this is in Hui'an, there is one more thing you have to know. ”

Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, and his sleepiness was dispelled a little: "What's the matter?"

He also thought that Hui An had some peculiar customs, and he should be careful to avoid them.

But Zeng Lao said: "Hui (hui) An corner, believe in feng shui, since ancient times has never been an exception, not only rural people believe in feng shui, urban people also believe, especially the elderly are even more convinced." Whenever he sees the prosperity of the clan, he says that he is entrusted with the burial place of his ancestors in a certain place. Seeing the rich and glorious, they boast that the burial place of their ancestors is full of feng shui and prosperity. Otherwise, the blame for bad feng shui. Psychologically, who doesn't want a family business to last forever and prosper?

As a result, many people are eager to obtain the 'True Dragon Cave', 'Yin Burial Maofa', 'Enter the first three prime ministers, and retreat 10,000 people', 'Establish the land to change the poor into rich, and change the cheap into noble', and so on......

Therefore, Hui An focuses on the wind of Feng Shui, and examples abound. But any feng shui master, Hui (hui) people will be very respectful. Especially the capable Feng Shui masters, they are more respected. ”

The fourth brother couldn't help but mock: "What feng shui masters, they are all a group of liars." These 'Feng Shui masters' have fooled you for so many years, why don't you have a long memory?"

Zeng Lao smiled bitterly and said: "Fourth brother, this time and that time, Master Tang has real skills. ”

The fourth brother glanced at Tang Chen and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Tang may have two brushes, but ...... Which of the feng shui masters you invited earlier is not a big fool? When you have eaten enough and drunk enough, you start to talk about the world, or you don't do your job. If you had sent someone to the mountains earlier to find out the reason as I said, wouldn't you know why the flow would have been cut off by now? This is still secondary, now that the economic situation is not very good, it is normal to make profits and losses in business, so why do you have to involve feng shui?"

The fourth brother's words were merciless, and Tang Chen also felt very reasonable.

Indeed, there are a handful of people in the world who think that feng shui is omnipotent, and have found a treasure of feng shui, lying down without working, and can also bless a lifetime of glory and wealth.

As everyone knows, Feng Shui is only an auxiliary, and it is you who really determines whether you can be prosperous or rich.

Before coming, Zeng Lao told Tang Chen that there is a folk proverb in Fujian Province that says: "Feng Shui is worthy of virtue", if the owner's family lacks virtue, even if he gets a feng shui treasure such as "two lions grabbing the ball", it will become a "Jedi" of "two dogs splitting the corpse". Therefore, Zeng Lao believes that the truth of blessed people living in blessed places has never been forced too much.

And the fourth brother is even more absolute, he is a complete "feng shui" person, even if he admires Tang Chen, it does not mean that he will believe in feng shui. In the fourth brother's heart, he just wanted to see what this young man had to do to make this broken river gush water from the source. If you look at it from the perspective of Hui An, the fourth brother is a "wonderful" and an alternative.
