Chapter Seventy-Eight, Have You Been Beaten Up for Doing This Business?
"People, you still can't be too nervous, it's easy to have an accident if you're too stubborn!" After three days of long travel, Lu Ren finally came to Linqing City, which was relatively close to the foot of Zongmen Mountain at the time of the original selection.
When Lu Ren first went up the mountain, because the road was far away, he fell asleep and went up the mountain, so Lu Ren didn't know the way, and after asking the disciples of the sect, how to go down the mountain.
You can only fly along a winding mountain road in the mountains towards Linqing City. That's why the journey will take three days.
Of course, there are also reasons for Lu Ren's deliberate inking.
If it weren't for the task mechanism, it jumped out again and limited Lu Ren's time to go down the mountain, maybe Lu Ren could walk a way down the mountain for a year and a half.
That's it, it's just right to get stuck for three days, no more, no less, no more and no less to arrive at the gate of Linqing City.
After entering the city, in Lu Ren's words, the task is half completed, and the rest of the tasks are not important. It's good to be able to come out.
Good things can't be done with utilitarian intentions, if you do good things in order to do good things, then it's not called good things.
In doing good deeds, it is better not to add impurities, or not to add impurities.
But do good deeds,
…… If you don't explain it, it's easy to get darker and darker, so let's return the perspective to Lu Ren, in fact, Lu Ren is looking for a reason to deliberately drag on and don't want to complete the task.
"I remember the last time I was about to join the Shangqing faction, and I ate when I came, and the braised meat shop with a booming business was just ahead."
"The braised pork you sold me at the beginning is similar to the one I ate, and then it became weaker and weaker, and the braised meat you sell now is not the same taste as the one I first ate." Regarding the matter of doing good deeds, I think it is still Lu Rendao, who depends on fate.
"It's time for dinner, I'll go over and look for it, and then eat his braised pork before I talk about anything else."
Lu Ren, who didn't want to be too ostentatious, walked over from the time he approached Linqing City, and he would also follow his memory and walk towards the braised meat shop.
"That's right, walk north to the cross street, turn two corners, and go to Zishi Street, on the left is a grocery seller, on the right is a tea seller, and diagonally opposite is a pharmacy."
"Oh, the pharmacy is closed, but is that right? I remember clearly selling braised pork, how did it become a dumpling seller now? Walking to the original braised meat shop, Lu Ren, who has now become a dumpling restaurant, muttered to himself.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, dumplings are dumplings, the same is to eat, first take care of the fullness and then talk about it." So Lu Ren walked across the door into the current dumpling restaurant.
I saw a dignified body standing at the counter, with a dignified appearance. A strong man with a pair of eyes shooting cold stars, two curved eyebrows like paint, and a broad chest.
"Wo Ye, if I'm not mistaken, the former shopkeeper was a small fat old man, and he was replaced?" Lu Ren looked at the person in charge of the counter and muttered suspiciously.
"Forget it, it's my business, I'm here to eat."
"Shopkeeper, what are the fillings for the dumplings?" After Lu Ren sat down by the window alone, he shouted to the shopkeeper and asked.
"There are beef green onions, green onion beef and beef green onions." The shopkeeper smiled.
"Huh~ Have you ever been beaten up for doing this business?" Lu Ren was shocked.
Lu Ren was a little sore from the egg, and he was drunk when he met such a superb shopkeeper after a meal, obviously it was just a dumpling stuffed with beef and green onions, but there was no one who had to introduce it three times over and over again.
At this time, a woman holding a child leaned out of the back kitchen, and I saw that this woman's eyebrows were like willow leaves in early spring, often with rain and clouds.
The face is like a peach blossom in March, hiding the amorous moon. The slender waist is curled, and the restrained swallow is lazy.
The jade looks enchanting and the flowers are interpreted, and the fragrant beauty is beautiful and the jade is fragrant.
"Uncle, don't be joking, my family sells dumplings stuffed with beef and green onions, celery beef, and beef leeks," the woman said angrily.
"Uncle has to remember, don't be happy with the guests anymore." After speaking, he apologized and blessed Lu Ren.
"But I only like to eat dumplings stuffed with beef and green onions, and the rest of the other fillings can't be sold out every time, and I can eat enough."
The strong man turned to the woman and complained, "Can't you just sell dumplings stuffed with beef and green onions?" Even if I have some leftovers, I like to eat them so that they don't waste it, do I?"
The woman covered her mouth, and smiled before anyone spoke, "Uncle said earlier, as long as my uncle is not too troublesome, I will wash and pick up all the vegetables and meat in advance, and every time the guest orders dumplings with any filling, now chopped and packed, so that there will be no remaining dumplings that need to be handled by uncle." The woman smiled at the shopkeeper again.
"That's good, I'm not idle and troublesome, I'm fast, and I can't delay much time when chopping stuffing, so I'll chop the bag now. In this way, we can also eat other dishes with different tastes, and we don't have to eat unsold dumplings every time," the shopkeeper smiled happily.
Turning his head to Lu Ren, he asked, "I wonder what kind of stuffed dumplings the guest officer wants to eat?"
"What's the price?" Lu Ren asked.
"It's not expensive, twenty dollars a catty, what do you want to stuff? How many pounds? The shopkeeper explained.
"It's really not too expensive, then you need beef and green onions......" Lu Ren was interrupted by the shopkeeper before he finished speaking.
"Haha, sure enough, there are many people who like to eat the same flavor as me, it just so happens that the beef and green onion stuffing that has just chopped in front of me has not been used up, and the others have not been chopped yet, so ...... now" The shopkeeper was interrupted by Lu Ren before he finished speaking.
"I haven't finished my words yet, beef, green onions, celery beef, beef leeks and each have a pound to try."
The corner of the strong man's shopkeeper's mouth twitched, and he was about to get angry when anger flashed on his face.
"Giggles, okay uncle, since the guest has ordered, you go to chop the stuffing first, I'll watch in front first, and when you finish chopping the stuffing and call me, I'll make dumplings for the guest."
The woman interrupted the shopkeeper's anger with a smile, held a child about half a year old in front of the shopkeeper, and said with a smile, "Trouble uncle." ”
The strong man shook his arms, snorted, turned around and went to chop dumplings in the back, and glared at Lu Ren before leaving, as if to say, I just don't care about you in front of the child, otherwise today's fight will be settled.
After the strong man left, the woman apologized and gave Lu Ren another blessing, and said with a smile, "Uncle has a bad temperament, and he has offended a lot, so don't blame the guest officer." ”
The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Lu Ren returned the salute and smiled, "It's okay, I just love to play and have no malice, it's just that I see that the two of you are of the same age, and I think you are husband and wife." ”
"Why do you always call him uncle? Is he older, or am I disagreeing? I'm curious, can you answer a question or two?" Lu Ren said politely.
"Haha, they are not an uncle and nephew, they are an uncle and sister-in-law, young man, you want to be crooked!"
Lu Ren was by the window, and there was a burst of laughter from the window, and he saw a mother-in-law about fifty or sixty years old, sitting on the bench at the door of her teahouse, while soliciting guests, knocking melon seeds, and answering Lu Ren's doubts.
"What about the shopkeeper? What's not there? Can you say a word or two?" Lu Ren asked the woman.
"It's a long story......," the woman continued.
Lu Ren looked at the woman, the woman was just smiling and teasing the child in her arms, and didn't seem to care about the neighbor's mother-in-law talking about it, so Lu Ren turned his head and asked the mother-in-law, "Can you make a long story short?"
"The head of this house is dead." The mother-in-law smiled and knocked on the melon seeds.
Lu Ren's expression froze, his gossip heart ignited, and Lu Ren, who was extremely uncomfortable, asked embarrassedly, "Can you say anything?" Why don't you elaborate?"
The mother-in-law glanced at Lu Ren, as if to say, Xiaoxiao, I can't cure you? Then he took a sip of the tea next to him before he said, "This matter has to start with the general election of the Shangqing faction about a year ago. ”
