In the mountain town in September, the sun is shining, but there is just the right amount of heat, all of which add to the beautiful scenery of the mountains, and it is a good autumn weather.

In the small city, there are not many pedestrians, but every pedestrian seems to know each other deeply, and after walking a few steps, you will meet your acquaintances, so it is time to stop and chat about trivial things such as chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, melons, fruits and vegetables.

There is a small river in the very center of Suchang City, and this is not the big river that passes through Suchang. In fact, the big river is still a mile north of the city, and it is just a small river that flows into the big river.

On a low stone bridge by the river, Gu Yueyue and Xu Songtu slowly walked side by side. The river at the bottom of his feet is very close to the stone bridge, and he can touch it when he reaches out, Gu March walks on the bridge, and from a distance, if you don't pay attention, it is like walking on the water, which is very interesting.

And it is also on the bank of the river near this bridge that it is the most prosperous area of Suchang City. It is said to be prosperous, and there is naturally no way to compare with big cities such as Xingqing and Xicheng, but this small place is also a place for leisure and entertainment for people in small cities.

It's early in the morning, and not many people are playing in the shops along the riverbank, and it doesn't come alive until the evening.

Xu Songtu pointed to a shop not far away, where thick smoke was billowing out. He smiled and said, "Don't look bad there, but it's an old shop." Let's go there for breakfast, the teppanyaki there is almost the best teppanyaki I've ever eaten in my life, and you're sure to like it too. Gu Yueyue nodded slightly, and walked into the smoky teppanyaki shop with Xu Songtu.

The appearance of that shop was very ordinary, and it was not even good. The tables and chairs were covered with an old layer of oil, and there were few guests, except for a snotty five or six-year-old child playing origami at the door.

Xu Songtu did not shy away from it and stepped forward. The man standing in the smoke at the door of the store saw Xu Songtu, just like a living person seeing a fairy, and immediately showed a look of surprise, and greeted with a smile: "Yo, this is not Xu Xianchang!" I haven't seen you for a long time, but here I am today! Xu Songtu smiled heartily and replied, "That's not to be hungry for the iron plate burning here." If you don't taste it for a few days, it's itchy in your heart, and it's not a good taste! The shopkeeper smiled innocently, looked at Gu March beside Xu Songtu in surprise, and asked, "Immortal Xu Chang, who is this?" Xu Songtu replied: "This is a friend I have met recently, and it is the first time I have come to Suchang. This first meal is eaten at your place, you have to make a snack, otherwise if people are not satisfied, it will not be a loss of face for Su Chang. The shopkeeper looked Gu March up and down a few times, and smiled heroically;

"It's good to say, it's on me! You don't know what my old cow does, I've been doing this teppanyaki for more than 20 years, how can there be dissatisfied guests? Today, the fat man happened to send me two fresh crucian carp caught in the river, which I will make for the two of you to eat, and keep it delicious! Xu Songtu agreed with a smile, and walked into the shop with Gu Sanyue, not too clean, so he picked a seat at random and sat down.

Gu March is a person who has endured hardships, so she naturally doesn't care about these things, so she sat opposite Xu Songtu, watched the man familiarly take out two crucian carp from the back kitchen, drew a knife, and disemboweled the crucian carp with three strokes and divided by two, and sorted it out.

Then he took a bucket of water from the river at the door, washed the crucian carp with water several times, and then re-burrowed into the smoke and made a teppanyaki.

The child of the origami dragonfly at the door seemed to be a little dazed, and he had been concentrating on the origami in his hand, and his father was busy on the side, and he didn't even look at it.

Gu Yueyue looked at the child, and Xu Songtu saw what her eyes were pointing at, so he said;

"That child is also pitiful, my mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to him, and there was a lot of blood. Later, I was finally about to give birth, but I was wrapped around my neck by the umbilical cord, and I didn't deal with it well at the time. After that, his mother died due to weakness, leaving only the child's father, who single-handedly pulled him up. Gu Yueyue was not very happy in her heart, nodded and fell silent.

Xu Songtu said some other things about this small city, Gu March was overdone, and soon, the man came out with two plates of freshly baked fish.

After handing the grilled fish to Xu Songtu, the man hurriedly ran into the smoke and took out two plates of teppanyaki pork that were piled up again.

He also put the roast meat in front of Xu Songtu and Gu Yueyue, and seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak, and said hesitantly: "That...... Xu Xian is long. Didn't Immortal Chang Fang recently build a sect on Bailiang Mountain, and I wondered if I could get my kid in as well? Although he usually looks a little stupid, in fact, this kid is very precocious, and maybe he can have the talent of cultivation. Why don't you show it? Xu Songtu smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, you're just embarrassing me." When it comes to the sect's selection of disciples, I can't do it. If your child has a talent for cultivation, even if we don't say it, we have to invite him in. It's just that if you don't have talent, even if it's me, I can't go against the rules and say that I brought him into the sect! The shopkeeper was a little anxious, and said, "Haven't you seen this yet?" Why don't you show it, maybe it's really talented? Xu Songtu couldn't resist him, so he said to the child: "Child, come here, I'll help you look at your bones." The child didn't raise his head, but looked at the paper dragonfly in his hand stupidly, and there was nothing else in his eyes.

The shopkeeper was anxious, his tone became a little heavier, and he shouted at the child: "Dog, be obedient, hurry over and show this immortal!" The boy then looked up, and his eyes were so dark that they did not look like a five or six-year-old child at all, but like an assassin licking blood with the tip of a knife.

It's just that his footsteps didn't move at all. The shopkeeper was an anxious man, and when he saw that the kid was so rude, he couldn't help but be angry, and immediately rushed forward and grabbed his back collar, slapped him twice, and scolded: "Tell you to show the immortal chief his qualifications, and dare to be so presumptuous!" I raised you so big, do you have a father like me in your heart! With that, he picked up a bamboo whip from his side and struck the child on the buttocks.

The bamboo whip whirred, and the child was beaten so hard that he didn't say a word, gritting his teeth, and his eyes were still looking at Xu Songtu like a vicious wolf, without the slightest intention of relaxing.

Where can a five- or six-year-old child do this kind of look? Gu March couldn't bear it in her heart, and said hurriedly;

"Stop fighting, isn't it just to look at the cultivation qualifications, I'll also know a little bit, I'll come and see." The shopkeeper stopped the bamboo whip, looked at Gu Yue in surprise, and said, "Is the girl also a monk?" Gu Yue replied: "Let's just forget it, anyway, depending on the cultivation qualifications, such a small thing can still be done." The shopkeeper looked at Gu March like a treasure, and quickly changed his smiling face and said, "Then thank you Immortal Chief!" Dog, go quickly, show this beautiful and kind-hearted fairy chief the qualifications! With that, he put the boy down.

As soon as the child landed, he glanced at Gu Yue viciously, and immediately ran away on the street.

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded and wanted to chase after him, but the store was still here and needed to be taken care of, so he was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "This disobedient guy!" Run, run and don't come back! He stomped his feet angrily, then looked at Gu Yue and Xu Songtu, and said with a bitter face: "Two immortal elders, this is ...... The kid was disobedient and got the two of them into trouble. Harm, it's bad for the mood of the immortals, this meal, just take it as if I invited you, and it should be an apology to the immortals. Xu Songtu smiled and said, "How can you not give money for dinner?" I'm not short of food money, and you don't have to be so restrained, boss. With that, he took out a piece of silver from his body, handed it to the man, and said, "Don't look for it, buy more meat for the child to eat, talk to him well, and don't beat the child at every turn." The man was flattered, and his legs and feet seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't walk to get the silver anyway.

Gu March persuaded: "Shopkeeper, since we eat here with you, we don't lack this money." Do you want our money, do you pity us as beggars on the streets, or do you see us as bullies who are afraid of us? The man was taken aback and hurriedly said, "How is it possible!" All of us in Suchang know that this Xu Xianchang's temper is the best and best! We all respect him, so why do you say that? Gu March smiled slightly: "Since it is respect, then you should accept this silver." Only then did the man understand it, and a warm current in his heart suddenly appeared, and he was grateful, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

He stood there for a long time before he spoke;

"It's really Su Chang's honor to have two such immortal figures in our Su Chang here!" The man took Xu Songtu's silver with trembling hands and said;

"I will treasure this silver and pass it on as a family heirloom." Xu Songtu laughed and said, "A little silver, it's full of filth, I think you better find a place to use it." I insist on giving you money, just to tell you that there is not much difference between us monks and you mortals. I still have to eat when I'm hungry, I have to drink water when I'm thirsty, and I have to pay for natural food. Like that child of yours, I look at the precocious child, although he is not very good-tempered. As long as you persuade him to be good, the blessings will not be small in the future, and there is no need to be a monk. The shopkeeper even claimed that Xu Songtu ate a few more chopsticks, so he and Gu March said goodbye to the shopkeeper and went to another place.

Walking on the road, Gu March was a little worried, Xu Songtu saw it, and asked, "Miss Gu, are you still thinking about the previous teppanyaki shop?" might as well tell the girl that there are more such families in the world. There is no need to feel sorry for them, there will be what should be there, and there will be no more if there should be. Gu March sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's not because of this. At this moment, Xu Songtu was puzzled and said, "What is that girl thinking?" Gu March asked, "Are there any shops selling gadgets near here?" I want to buy Master a gift for him. Xu Songtu was stunned and said with a smile: "Can your master take a fancy to these worldly things?" Say it in advance, this Suchang is just a small city, but there are no magic weapons to sell. Gu Yueyue heard that he was not kind to Xu Huaigu in his words, so he quickly retorted: "How can there be? My master is a little similar to you, obviously such a high-level person, but he just likes these little things in the world. If he hadn't been there, if we had come to the teppanyaki shop today, I wouldn't know what would have happened! Xu Songtu's face was a little red, embarrassed, and said, "Then it seems that I blamed Xu Daoyou." It's just that there are no interesting tricks in this Suchang City that can be sent, does Miss Gu have any other choices? Gu March was embarrassed, but suddenly thought of something that Xu Huaigu loved the most, and suddenly had an idea and said;

"What about wine? There should always be a place to sell wine, right? Xu Songtu smiled: "It turns out that Xu Daoyou also likes that thing." How can Su Chang not have wine, speaking of which, Su Chang's wine is still very famous nearby! I'll take you to Qingyuezhai, where the wine is the best! ”
