Chapter 108 Deyue Lou is eaten in the world
Xiao Er smiled when he heard this, "This snake, psychic, is born a miracle, don't hide it from my son, I was also afraid of snakes when I was a child, and my hairs stand on end when I see snakes."
But ah, since I went to worship in the Liuxian Temple a few times, I am not so afraid when I see snakes. After all these years, I'm not afraid to sleep in the same bed with snakes now. ”
Bai Lan asked in surprise, "Oh? Is there such a god? Can you worship God without fear of snakes and beasts? ”
"Hey, Childe doesn't know. The immortals in the Liuxian Temple are first-class characters of the gods and immortals of Yushan Mansion, and they are the ancestors of this snake.
Legend has it that the king of Yushan Mansion has practiced for thousands of years to become an immortal, and his subordinates are in charge of the five immortal families of Huhuang, white, willow and gray, crossing the world to help others, and punishing the good and evil in the world.
I heard from the foreign merchants in the west that what is the name of the Holy Lord in their mountain mansion, there are more pious and effective than ours. ”
Bai Lan smiled: "That's just in time, I also want to go to Tianlan Country to have a look, and if I have the chance, I will come to you again to talk about the customs over there." ”
"Hey, the son is polite, how can the little one be so honored." Xiao Er was flattered and hurriedly bent over and waved his hands.
"Hehe, I'm just saying it casually, and you don't have to take it to heart. Go and see if my dishes are ready? ”
"Yes! Be! Childe, please wait. Xiao Er respectfully retreated.
Bai Lan picked up the peanut kernels on the table and put them in his mouth, chewed them lightly, and the familiar taste met again after a hundred years.
Slowly poured a cup of tea, a few young leaves floated in the yellowish white mist cup, revealing a rustic tea fragrance, not a precious tea taste, but it is also a new tea in early spring, and there is no perfunctory use of old tea.
After a while, a few shopkeepers came to the table with a plate of dishes, as well as a pot of five taels of Longliu Immortal Wine.
A total of six dishes were served, three meats, two vegetables and one soup, and each dish was exquisite and delicious, and it was extremely tempting.
In this era, for the food served, it is not that the dish is put on the table, and every shopkeeper must be proficient in remembering the name of each dish, the ingredients of the dish, the characteristics, and even the allusions behind the dish, so as to introduce the rich history of the dishes to the guests.
Of course, small restaurants and poor people don't have these things to eat.
A rather clever little two smiled and said: "Childe, this dish is called fried gardenia, our chef will keep the fragrance of gardenia flowers in each petal leaves, eat to your mouth to keep your tongue and mouth, now the early spring is still cold, this dish can clear the lungs and relieve cough, but it is partial to the yang qi, so it can be described as an appetizer, not suitable for eating more." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly placed this dish in front of Bai Lan and prepared vegetables for him.
Bai Lan was about to taste it with great interest, raised his hand and picked up the chopsticks and was stunned for a moment, he seemed to have not held chopsticks for hundreds of years, and he just recalled it before he regained his feel, picked up a piece of gardenia and put it in his mouth, it was really fragrant and refreshing.
"Not bad."
Xiao Er's heart was relieved, and he said with a smile: "Childe, this Deyue Tong chicken is one of the signature dishes of our Deyue Building, grilled chicken is roasted, and it is sprinkled with potpourri nectar and five-bean sauce, sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not widowed, full of color and fragrance, but whoever comes to our Deyue Lou does not order this good dish, you can taste it, if you like to eat spicy, you can match this vinegar chili seasoning, and keep you happy as soon as you eat it." ”
Bai Lan smiled and said, "Is it really so delicious?" ”
He picked up a piece of grilled chicken and put it in his mouth, the perfect combination of sweet and salty filled the palate, the tender meat filled his touch, and there was a faint mustard flavor that blended together to make it just the right amount of deliciousness.
Bai Lan nodded, "It's really good." As he spoke, he put another chopstick in his mouth, with a slightly satisfied look on his face.
"True, only food can live up to it."
Xiao Er smiled and said: "Childe Yaxing, it will be even better with this Xi Shi Langyue......"
With Xiao Er's explanation, after a few dishes, Bai Lan has already eaten a pleasant body and mind, and drank a little light fragrant wine to have the taste of incense, but the taste is still good, there is no hot and spicy liquor in later generations, and the whole body is warm when you drink it, and the mouth is fragrant, which is like the sweetness of fruit wine but you can't say what kind of fruit it is.
It seems that human beings in the mortal world are really not shallow, even if they do not have earth-shattering supernatural powers, they also have ingenious wisdom.
While eating wine and food, he looked at the passers-by downstairs, and felt like he was in the red dust.
Seeking the Tao and refining the heart, meticulous and meticulous, it is not necessary to experience any great fear between life and death to refine the heart, the real heart refining is to refine the heart with rolling red dust.
His practice is now in the world. Cultivating the Tao Sutra, you can meditate and practice by finding a place to look at the moon anywhere, and the accumulation of mana is a long time of thousands of years, which is far from a momentary effort.
Therefore, in the mortal world, in the rivers and lakes, in the deep mountains, and in cultivation, it does not have much impact.
Bai Lan was thinking about buying more wine to warm up on the road, but he was drowsy when the cold wind blew him, and once he looked like that, he didn't want to walk, but would choose to fly over directly.
Downstairs, a group of Jianghu people with horses and swords entered the second floor of Deyue Building, looked at the building and found that Bai Lan was the only one who chose a distant place to sit down and ordered Xiao Er to serve good wine and food.
A group of seven people, five men and two women, a middle-aged man with a sword at his waist had protruding temples, his body was light and obviously had a lot of internal strength, and there were two young male disciples in their twenties and a female disciple with a delicate appearance beside him.
Sitting opposite the middle-aged man was a martial arts man who looked like a Taoist priest, an old man with a bit of fairy wind and bones, and a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old and a little girl about ten years old.
The old Taoist priest chuckled and asked, "Monk Zuo, how long do we have to go?" ”
The middle-aged man who was called Zuo Jushi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Dao Chief, this place is still hundreds of miles away from that small country, Tianlan, and even if we hurry up, it will take eight or nine days."
But don't worry, it is said that there are strange beasts guarding the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and the forest gate master of the first major faction of Feihuamen in Mingzhou invites people in the rivers and lakes of the world to gather and eliminate demons. There were not enough people, and he didn't dare to go deeper. ”
"That's good, how precious the thousand-year-old Lingzhi is, even if we can't get this thing, there must be other spiritual grasses in the treasure land, maybe we can go further." The old Taoist priest sighed lightly, not just comforting or cheering.
"Dao Chief, don't worry, you are a master of the Xuankong Temple, who doesn't know anyone in the rivers and lakes? You'll have a share of it when the time comes. The woman behind Zuo Jushi laughed.
"Yes, my sister is right."
"Yes, Dao Chief, you can rest assured."
The two disciples of Zuo Jushi also hurriedly echoed.
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said with a smile: "Zuo Jushi's six swords of rivers and rivers have reached the realm of transformation, and he is a master among first-class masters, and the poor Dao can not be compared." ”
While a few people were talking and laughing, Xiao Er had already served the food, and served them a table of good wine and good food.
Bai Lan had eaten and drunk enough, and also heard the gossip, so he called: "Little Er, settle the bill." ”
"Hey~ Guest officer, here! Here it comes! ”
A junior who was obviously higher than the others stepped forward, smiled and took the abacus to move the beads, and said, "Guest officer, the dishes you ordered include fried gardenia and Deyue Tong chicken...... It totals five taels and two dollars. ”
Bai Lan nodded, this number is already a lot for ordinary people. "Give me another twenty catties, no, thirty catties, thirty catties of Longliu Immortal Wine."
"Huh? Thirty pounds? This ......" Xiao Er stammered a little and said, "Childe, this is too much, you can't drink so much alone?" ”
Bai Lan took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve and weighed the weight, "Twelve taels, is it enough?" ”
Xiao Er is a sincere person, he stammered, and was pushed away by the shopkeeper who rushed to hear the sound, and the shopkeeper with a fat face smiled and said: "Enough, enough, the son is magnificent." The small shop will prepare wine for you.
Where do you live, and the villain will send you to the door later? ”
Bai Lan shook his head, "I'm not a local, just use a big jar for me." ”
"Hey, okay, okay, sit down and wait, I'll go get you some wine."
The shopkeeper immediately ordered Xiao Er to go to the back kitchen to carry wine.
Bai Lan's actions attracted the attention of the gang of Jianghu people, the little girl looked at Bai Lan curiously, but the handsome chivalrous girl couldn't stop glancing at her, where had she ever seen such a handsome man when she first entered the rivers and lakes? I couldn't help but look at it more.
Zuo Jushi was curious: "How can the alcohol order be restricted here?" Can you buy 30 catties of good wine in one go? ”
Xiao Er, who was on a plate, listened to the explanation and explained: "The guest officer doesn't know, we sell Longliu Immortal Wine, so naturally it is not included in the government's restricted wine, if you buy other wines, you still have to limit it." ”
"I see!"
Lao Dao smiled and raised his eyes to look at Bai Lan, and his heart couldn't help jumping, the temperament of the young man in front of him was really unconventional. This kind of temperament he only saw in Taishizu when he was a child, and his Taishizu was a congenital master who once retired to the rivers and lakes, and lived for two hundred years.
And the man in front of him only looked like he was about nineteen or twenty, which was completely different from the drooping old man of his ancestor.
Lao Dao got up and said to Bai Lan with a smile: "This son, a poor Dao Xuankong Guankong Mountain Daoist, is polite." ”
Bai Lan smiled and bowed his head slightly, and said, "The people in the lower reaches, Bai Lan, the Taoist is polite." ”
Kongshan Dao said: "Poor Dao has to see Gongzi today, Fang Jue is very much like an old man, I take the liberty of asking, I don't know where Gongzi's family lives?" ”
