Chapter 8 Preparations

Sending the second uncle away, Dongzhang also squinted his eyes and thought of his next plan, why didn't he see the monks of Shaolin Temple on the rivers and lakes during the Condor period.

First, the Shaolin Temple is located in the Mongolian boundary, at this time, the Feng Song and Mongolia just stopped fighting, and the scope of activities during the Condor period was mainly in the Song Kingdom.

And then there is every day of the great chaos over the years, Buddhism is to escape from the world, during the war is the prevailing style of Taoism, no matter who fights, there must be a famous excuse, that is for the heavens, this is the most commonly used slogan during the war.

When the world is peaceful, even if they don't want to be born, the emperor will force them to be born to promote Buddhism, and it is not easy to promote peace, because no ruler likes to have riots during his jurisdiction, and at this time, the value of Buddhism is reflected.

Therefore, Taoism prevails during war, Buddhism is the opposite, and Buddhism prevails during peace, Taoism is the opposite.

This was the case during the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty, where temples were built to promote Buddhism and suppress Taoism.

This is the reason why the figure of the Shaolin monk was rarely seen during the Condor period, and now, the thing drawn by Dongzhang is in the Shaolin Temple.

A few days later, Dongzhang wandered in the streets all day long, and the local dialect thought that he had learned like a god, and after inquiring about the residence of Li Laohan, who served food to Shaolin Temple, Dongzhang bought some food and touched it all the way.

When I came to the entrance of the yard, I saw that there were piles of good vegetables, and a sturdy old man was busy inside, presumably it was the old man Li.

"Boss, boss."

When Dongzhang stood outside the door and shouted for the second time, the sturdy old man turned around to look at Dongzhang, and asked suspiciously, "Childe, is this the old man who is looking for you?" ”

Dongzhang Mimi outside the door smiled and nodded, Li Laohan hurriedly came over to open the door for Dongzhang, and when he saw Dongzhang who was dressed decently, he asked a little helplessly:

"Childe's side is looking for an old man, I don't know what's going on?"

After speaking, he wiped the mud on his hand and wiped it on his body.

"Don't panic, the kid has been weak and sick since he was a child, and many drugs are useless, when he was young, he met a monk at home, and he pointed out one or two bodies that gradually got better, and then he has been believing in Buddhism, the days ahead with his uncle just came to the town, the boy heard that there is a Shaolin Temple on Songshan Mountain, quite admired, and then found the old man."

Dongzhang's polite appearance also made the old man gradually let down his guard, and stretched out his hand to invite Dongzhang to come in to talk, Dongzhang did not shirk, raised his foot and entered the door with Li Laohan.

The two sat under the pergola in the courtyard, Dongzhang took out two oil-paper bags, opened the two roast chickens inside, raised a pot of wine in his hand, and said to the old man opposite with a smile:

"Let's talk while eating, and it won't hinder my husband for many hours."

When he opened the oil paper and saw the two roasted roast chickens in it, Li Laohan swallowed his saliva unconsciously, such a flat-headed people, not to mention that they can only eat meat once during the New Year's Festival.

But in fact, it is not far behind, fattened chickens and ducks are reluctant to eat, are all sold in the market, like Dongzhang every day big fish and meat are a minority.

Tearing off a piece of yellow-orange-orange chicken legs, Dongzhang handed it to Li Laohan and said, "Come, let's talk while eating." ”

After Li Laohan was stunned, Dongzhang asked again: "I don't know if there is a wine glass at home, and it is too undesirable to have meat and no wine." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the old man will go and get it."

Li Laohan, who reacted, just grabbed the chicken leg and ran into the back room, and after a while, he came out with two shiny teacups.

Dongzhang didn't care about these details, took the teacup, Dongzhang poured wine for the two of them, and then also ripped off a small piece of chicken, pointed at the old man, and said:

"Eat, eat, let's talk while eating."

After finishing speaking, he ate it by himself, and when he saw Dongzhang open his mouth to eat the meat, Li Laohan went to bite the chicken leg in his hand, and the appearance of being cautious for fear of falling out of a drop of oil saw that Dongzhang couldn't help but sigh at the flat-headed people of this era.

I am also glad for the healthy and happy life of my future generations, and I am grateful to the country and the party for letting us live in a peaceful country.

couldn't bear to disturb Li Laohan to enjoy the taste that he hadn't tasted for a long time, Dongzhang just took a sip of wine silently, and didn't greet Li Laohan, just quietly looked at the vegetables in the yard and was a little stunned.

After Li Laohan finished eating the chicken leg in his hand with three times and five divided by two, he found that Dongzhang didn't seem to speak for a long time, so he raised his eyes to look at Dongzhang and found that this little Langjun was drinking and looking at the vegetables in the yard, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just when Li Laohan was at a loss to raise his glass but didn't know how to speak, Dongzhang had already turned around and touched the cup with Li Laohan, in order to avoid the embarrassment of the old man and said casually: "My husband, this dish looks like it arouses me a little greedy." ”

Li Laohan wiped a trace of joy on his face after hearing this, and said to Dongzhang proudly: "It's not that the old man is boasting, the vegetable farmers in this town are counting the old body and this dish can be staged." ”

Dongzhang didn't react when he heard it, just looked at Li Laohan so quietly, this can make the old man anxious, you can question me, but you can't question my professional ability, the bad signboard can not be questioned, now Li Laohan can't help but speak three points faster, and said:

"If it weren't for the mother-in-law going out today, she would be more delicious, but if the son doesn't believe it, the old man can also make a whole dish for the son now, what does the son think?"

Looking at Li Laohan, who was a little anxious, Dongzhang couldn't help but chuckle and said: "That relationship is good, it doesn't matter who does it, then it will bother the old man." ”

After hearing this, Li Laohan rushed to pick vegetables, wash vegetables, and make a fire to get out of the pot, Dongzhang was also happy to drink and wait for him, and also took the opportunity to think about how to open that mouth with Li Laohan, and now he is familiar with it and said that it is not so jerky and abrupt.

didn't let Dongzhang wait too long, Li Laohan came out with a bowl of vegetable soup, let's just say vegetable soup, because this Chinese cabbage is neither fried nor purely soup, just sprinkle some salt over the water, in fact, it is also expected by Dongzhang.

How can it be as easy to fry a vegetable oil as in later generations, especially such an ordinary farmer, it is even more impossible, if you are willing to put a little coarse salt, you will already be treated as a guest.

Seeing that Li Laohan looked at himself with a little expectation and some apprehension, Dongzhang picked up a handful of chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth, chewed carefully for a while before swallowing them, and then said to Li Laohan with a smile:

"Sure enough, there is a different taste, no wonder the monks of Shaolin Temple are all in your house, the dishes are really good, come, drink."

After speaking, he touched the wine glass with Li Laohan and drank it all, to be honest, the cooking technique and not to comment, the dish itself is indeed good, and there is a little sweetness when biting seriously, which is really good for Dongzhang, who has big fish and meat every day.

After three rounds of drinking, when Li Laohan also completely relaxed, Dongzhang Shi Shiran said to him: "Don't hide from the old man, the kid does have some things to ask for this time, just now I also said, the boy has believed in Buddha since he was a child, but now the Shaolin Temple has been closed and does not welcome guests, the boy knows that the old man has some dealings with the Shaolin Temple, so he wants to please the old man, and the next time he will send food to the temple homeopathic and take the boy on a trip, to the temple can be said that the boy is a distant relative of the old man, and the boy just went to worship the Buddha and then he wished, I will never cause trouble to my father-in-law, how? ”

Looking at Dongzhang's sincere eyes, he thought that although he was a little mature, he was only a half-grown child at best, and he had a good conversation, and he should not run around and cause trouble for himself, thinking so in his heart, Li Laohan hesitated for a moment and then nodded heavily, and said to Dongzhang:

"Just do what Childe said, but don't make noise when Childe arrives inside, they have been closed for a long time, and they don't welcome guests, but incense is still allowed."

Dongzhang, who was happy in his heart and also showed a smile on his face, immediately said to Li Laohan: "That's really good, the kid thanked the old man first." ”

After speaking, he bowed to Li Laohan from afar.

"I can't do it, I can't help it, some little things, Childe doesn't need to be like this."

Seeing Dongzhang's movements, Li Laohan was so frightened that he hurriedly came over to help, and Dongzhang also got up and said to Li Laohan: "Maybe this is a trivial matter in the eyes of the old man, but in the eyes of the boy, it is indeed a great favor for the boy, and the old man can really bear it." ”

Dongzhang said with a pun, Li Laohan thought: This may be the persistence of worshipping Buddha and believing in Buddhism, and he doesn't feel anything when he thinks about it in his heart.

Then the two continued to sit down to eat and drink, and by the way, they also finalized the time to go up the mountain together the day after tomorrow, and when they were almost drunk, Dongzhang got up and said goodbye.

took a bag of things that were wrapped in lotus leaves, and handed it to Li Laohan with a smile: "I didn't know what to buy all the way, so I asked people to cut five catties of pork as a thank you gift." ”

Seeing that Li Laohan showed a slightly flustered look again, Dongzhang said again: "Don't dislike it, this is a fresh product that the kid got early in the morning, and it was specially bought for you, and it is not worth anything, just accept it." ”

"So, boy, I'll take my leave, we'll see you the day after tomorrow."

didn't give Li Laohan a chance to open his mouth at all, Dongzhang originally wanted to give some money, but when he thought of the honest farmer who had been honest all his life, suddenly one day someone would send you money for a trivial matter.

It is inevitable that I won't think much about whether this person's purpose is pure or not, and whether there will be any ulterior motives, so after thinking about it, Dongzhang still directly buys something that is affordable to them and dares to collect it.

No, now even these catties of pork can be panicked like this, and I don't know what it should look like if I send money, I didn't look at Li Laohan's expression, Dongzhang had already walked to the door, and then stopped, and didn't turn around, just turned his back to Li Laohan and said:

"I forgot to report my home, the kid is called, Dongzhang."

Only Li Laohan stood in place with five catties of pork in his hand, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the roast chicken that was still half left, the son named Dongzhang, it seemed that he didn't eat any more after eating a bite at the beginning, and the rest was mostly eaten by himself.

Staring at the roast chicken on the stone table, Li Laohan's heart flowed with a trace of warmth, and his impression of Dongzhang was much better............
