The old man is the shopkeeper of this restaurant, and the young man is his adopted grandson.

The shopkeeper's name is Wang Muliang, in addition to the old and young, there is also a chef of the back kitchen of Xing Zhao and a bookkeeper surnamed Liu, both of whom are locals. The young man was picked up by Wang Muliang from the pile of dead in the final battle between the two dynasties thirteen years ago, when the two dynasties were at war and the people were struggling to survive.

Wang Muliang is a merchant wanderer, the war disaster is not peaceful, did not marry a wife and have children, in order to make a living, forty-three years old is still in the business happened to pass by the dead man's pit in the ravine in the north of the town, found four or five months old baby, can't bear a life in the mountains and wilderness to become a lonely ghost, kindly adopted this little baby, a flash is thirteen years have passed.

The child had no name, so he followed his surname and invited Mr. Li, a teacher at Taihe Street Private School, to take the name "Lianqing", so that Wang Muliang had an adopted grandson under his knees.

Later, Wang Muliang adopted the child and could not be a traveling merchant, so he rented a noodle shop in the town with his savings for many years, and then ran this restaurant, invited an account room and a back kitchen, and the life was peaceful.

On the third pole of the day, across the morning stall at the mouth of an alley on two streets of Fuchun Street, four men dressed in the official mansion gathered around a square table and drank a cup of morning tea. ”

After speaking, the big man named Xing Zhutou nodded, the boss took the plate from the man's hand and began to swing it, and said after putting it out: "If the official still needs to say hello, the little one will come over immediately, and he will retire." After saying that, he left respectfully and respectfully.

After the boss left, several people began to move their chopsticks, eat, and did not speak. After a while, the head catcher surnamed Xing put down the chopsticks in his hand, took a sip of soy milk, pursed his lips, glanced at the three of them, and asked: "Has anything unusual happened in the town in the past few days?"

Hearing the question surnamed Xing, the other three also put down the fritters in their hands, took a silk scarf and wiped their mouths, and glanced at each other, one of them whispered: "Head, there is." ”

"What?"

"Recently, there were three strange-looking people in the town, and I don't know what happened. ”

"Oh, that tells the brothers to take precautions, as long as those individuals do not violate the prohibitions of the court, they can do whatever they like, as long as they do not make too much noise on our territory, and it will be easy to startle the above. ”

"Yes, head. The three of them replied in unison.

After a while, he left a few coppers, and left straight away without saying hello to the boss, and the boss reacted that the four of them had gone away and gradually disappeared at the corner of the street.

Shangshanlou in the dawn of the sun, quite strange, antique plaque in the light and shadow mottled between the three big characters of "Shangshanlou" seem to be vivid, plus no one in the morning, silent, this is not like a good place to eat.

Shangshan Building is near the entrance of Fuchun Street, and visitors are at a glance. Although it is not as good as the Taining Building on Taihe Street, the Bao Shanju on Linhe Street has such specifications, styles, dishes, etc.

But the reputation is also excellent, because the old shopkeeper is kind and generous, coupled with his duty, never deceive customers in the slightest, plus the relationship with the neighbors is harmonious, treat each other with sincerity, so the old customers love, eat and drink tea often gather.

Although there are not many styles of dishes in Shangshanlou, Chef Zhao is also a 20-year-old chef, and the dishes are self-explanatory. It is also because of the locals that they are also very handy about their hometown dishes. In addition, Shangshanlou is delicious and cheap, and the general foot merchants, Jianghu travelers, past merchants, rangers and warlocks and other guests who have no long things often enter the store to play sharp, and they are really full of praise for the local delicacy of Beiwang Town in the store, so Shangshanlou is also common people.

As for why a good restaurant is called the name of "Shangshan Building", it has also become the curiosity of the merchants who come here to hit the top, saying that the old shopkeeper Wang came to the town to buy a storefront and opened a noodle shop and started business, but it is also peaceful and happy.

One day, the old shopkeeper Wang who was busy all day sent away the last batch of guests, ready to clean up and close the door, suddenly heard the cry of Xiao Lianqing in the house, so he put down his hand and hurriedly took out Xiao Lianqing in the house, and pampered back and forth in the hall to comfort, after a while Xiao Lianqing fell asleep quietly, just wanted to turn around, but found that there was a middle-aged Taoist standing at the door, his hair was a little scattered, his face was slightly pale, he held a foot of dust, carried a long sword on his back, and the Taoist robe embroidered with Tai Chi pattern was slightly old, but he was also kind.

Looking at the Taoist who suddenly appeared at the gate, Wang Muliang was stunned, and before he could say anything, the Taoist smiled slightly and said first: "Good man, excuse me, the poor Dao came from the Yue family, and the tour is here, but the road is far away, and there is nothing left to entangle, can you do a bowl of noodles, the merit is immeasurable." ”

After speaking, the Taoist made a Taoist salute, and then looked up at Wang Muliang's face and smiled slightly embarrassed, Wang Muliang was relieved, and said with a smile: "The Taoist is polite, it's okay, rest for a while, I'll cook it for you a little." After speaking, Wang Muliang hugged Xiao Wang Lianqing and walked to the back kitchen, and the middle-aged Taoist saw Wang Muliang holding the baby in his arms and walking to the back kitchen with a doting face, and the Taoist said Zen: "Good, good." ”

A little, the shopkeeper brought a bowl of hot noodle soup, just on the table Taoist can't wait to move the chopsticks, and eat it, this posture may be that the Taoist has not eaten hot food for a long time, three times and two times to eat less than half of the big bowl of noodles, peaceful and prosperous, the shopkeeper is a person who has not seen the appearance for a long time, looking at the Taoist eating noodles and not feeling funny.

Maybe he was eating too hard, but the Taoist was so immersed in his own noodle eating that he forgot that there was a shopkeeper watching him on the side, and when he found out about this embarrassment, he laughed awkwardly again.

The shopkeeper noticed his embarrassment and said, "The Taoist is slower, it's not enough." ”

After a while, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the bowl, blew the hot air in the bowl, drank the soup, and finally raised the bowl to drink all the soup in the bowl.

Seeing the situation, the shopkeeper Wang hurriedly asked, "Is it enough, Dao Chief, not enough, I will go and add it for you." ”

The Taoist smiled, put his palm on his chest with one hand and saluted the king's shopkeeper: "Thank you for the good people, it's enough, it's enough." ”

"Well, then, you rest for a while, and I will pack up and come and speak to you later. ”

"Good, good. ”

After cleaning up for a while, Shopkeeper Wang walked from the house with Wang Lianqing in his arms, sat opposite the Taoist table, and chatted with the Taoist. After the king shopkeeper learned that the Taoist is a disciple of the Yue family, go down the mountain to cultivate good and accumulate virtue, the king shopkeeper also knows that there is a Taoist door, the common people, the details are not very clear, but the neighborhood red and white ceremonies are invited to the scene to practice or divination to see the feng shui, so it is not surprising, Tiannan Haibei chatted, and finally talked about Wang Lianqing, the child, the king shopkeeper told everything to the Taoist, the Taoist could not bear it: "The people's livelihood is also miserable." ”

In the end, the Taoist asked if he could touch the child to see if he could bless the child with a chance. The shopkeeper Wang heard it in a fog, and he couldn't understand it, seeing that the Taoist was not a wicked person, he agreed to him, and hugged Wang Lianqing close to him, the Taoist put down the dust in his hand, and touched the little Wang Lianqing with both hands, starting from the head to touch down, hands, back, feet, the shopkeeper Wang just felt strange, about a while, the Taoist shook his head, and sighed: "Hey, mortals too." ”

The king's shopkeeper didn't know why, and the Taoist finally said to the king's shopkeeper: "The near travel party is here, and I am very grateful to the good people for their kindness, and there is no way to reciprocate, and I despise a thing to give to the little good people, and wear it to prolong life, but in danger, still save his life." Then he took out a thing from his arms, it was a very ordinary jade pendant, the Taoist closed his eyes and squeezed the jade pendant in his hand, the more he had three sips of tea, opened his eyes, opened the jade pendant in his hand, and handed it to the king shopkeeper with a smile.

The shopkeeper Wang was suspicious, and it was not easy to push away the good intentions of the Taoist, so he accepted it and said, "Thank you for the good intentions of the Taoist." ”

The Taoist shook his head: "No, no, no, if you do kindness, you will be blessed." ”

After talking about the king shopkeeper has some small profits, pre-purchase a courtyard to open a restaurant, on this life, see the Taoist appearance, it is estimated that he also understands the study of feng shui, want to ask him to help find a good place, ask for it, the Taoist does not shirk, said: "Miao also, wait a little longer, this will go to find." ”

After saying that, the Taoist went out, turned a street, and a few flashed and appeared on the north mountain, sitting on a boulder in the middle of the world. The Taoist looked at the mountain range in the north of the town that was as high as a cloud and did not see the head, and said: "The mountain has a spirit. ”

Looking at the general pattern of the third street and nine lanes of Beiwang Town, and looking at a two-story courtyard at the entrance of Fuchun Street, he said to himself: "Goodness is like water, and all profits are indisputable." Mortals, too, do not fight, and have to live in peace. ”

Then close your eyes and meditate.

After a stick of incense, the Taoist appeared at the door of the noodle shop, and said to the shopkeeper Wang who greeted him with a smile: "It has been selected, the two-story small courtyard at the entrance of Fuchun Street, and the parasitic life, ten years without worry." ”

"It's been a long time, please come in. ”

"No need, I have something urgent to go west, so I won't bother anymore. ”

When the shopkeeper heard that the Taoist was leaving, he hurriedly took out a small money bag from his sleeve and held it in his hand, and hurriedly said, "The Taoist has another matter, please give the new store a name." ”

The Taoist thought for a while: "How about going to the good building, going out of the holy and entering the mortal?"

The king's shopkeeper also couldn't understand it, since he was a master, he had to reason. stepped forward and handed the small money bag that the Taoist had just held in his hand and said: "I'm tired of the Taoist chief to nominate the place, be careful, and ask for a good fortune." ”

The Taoist smiled slightly: "Thank you so much, I will say goodbye, and we will meet again." After speaking, he made a salute, and without waiting for the king's shopkeeper to be polite, he turned around and left.

The shopkeeper Wang watched the Taoist leave, and was surprised in his heart: This is really a strange person.

Back in the shop, the shopkeeper Wang gave the Taoist to Wang Lianqing's little jade pendant through a red rope, put on Xiao Lianqing's neck, just was still crying Wang Lianqing fell asleep quietly, the shopkeeper Wang felt quite strange, and even eight or nine points to believe that the Taoist was a master.

Then the shopkeeper bought the place where the Taoist pointed out, hired a bookkeeper and a kitchen, opened a restaurant, and invited the most famous carpenter master in the east of the town to carve the exquisite plaque of the three words "Shangshan Building", and today, this restaurant has gone through more than ten years, and is famous.

Whenever people ask why they took this name, the shopkeeper always smiled and said that this was mentioned by a master who did not want to disclose his name, and it was caused by good karma, and Shangshanlou came from this.
