Chapter 8. Morning food, fireworks in the world
"Regarding the honorific title of the little monk after becoming the god of incense and fire, the little monk plans to call Hongyuan Zhenjun, what does Mr. think?"
"Are you going to completely change your court and specialize in cultivating Taoists in the future?"
"Yes. The day when the little monk got the immortal fate in Yuqing Mountain and cultivated the immortal art, it was actually destined to be so. ”
"Just follow your heart."
After Hongyuan thanked him again, he turned around and left.
Chen Wang woke up, stood at the door, and looked at the sky of Yuyang City, although there was a wealth and noble atmosphere, yellow on the top and white on the bottom, its qi was condensed and powerful.
But there is also a fierce aura of decay, which is connected from the bottom to the top, like rolling stones and dust, scattered and not gathered.
"This Yuyang City is prosperous on the surface, but in fact, it has the appearance of prosperity and decline. There seem to be a lot of ghosts and monsters in the city, and the local city god is derelict in his duties. Hongyuan, the true monarch, I'm afraid it's not so easy to do. ”
……
In the early morning, the breeze was cool in the silent alley, and the sleepy-eyed woman walked out of the house with a wooden bucket, accumulated a night's feces and urine, and poured it into the roadside canal with a bang.
Stretch your waist and yawn. looked at each other, and it happened that a young man came out of Yang Sima's courtyard, dressed in white clothes, sunny and clean.
The woman couldn't help but be slightly stunned, yawned halfwayn, and froze there.
"Early." Chen Wang took the initiative to say hello.
He smiled and looked gentle, which made the woman's heart rise with a good feeling, and she quickly closed her mouth, and replied with the word "morning" in a little panic, but her eyes were a little weird.
Chen Wang just smiled slightly.
Naturally, he knew what the little woman was thinking.
The house was haunted, and if he dared to live in it, he must have been seen as a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.
Of course, Chen Wang didn't care about other people's opinions, locked the door, and walked away.
He was going to buy a duck fat shortbread for breakfast.
Drunken Immortal Building is worthy of being a must in Yuyang City, it is the best restaurant he has ever eaten all the way down the mountain. I ate a lot yesterday, but when I woke up early in the morning, I missed the taste of duck fat shortbread and duck vermicelli soup.
Walk down the alley in the early morning.
Yuyang belongs to the water town, the river port, the arch bridge, the Langfang, the street, beautiful like a painting.
The paving stones, trampled by people, have been polished for hundreds of years, glowing with blue, with the water canals on the side of the street, and the houses on both sides, there is a different kind of depth and tranquility.
The shoes are very comfortable to step on on the smooth stones.
However, Chen Wang decided to avoid going out at this time as much as possible in the future.
The streets and alleys are very meaningful, but everyone has just gotten up, and the old women and daughters-in-law come out with the wooden barrels they have saved all night, and pour them into the canal with a bang, and the smell in the air is really sour.
……
At the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Building, there was already a long queue, all waiting for the newly baked duck fat shortbread.
Chen Wang followed in line.
The pace of the team was a little slow, and he was not in a hurry.
Food, is worth the wait.
Shi Tong walked out of the restaurant with his arm behind his back, yawned, and looked at the people coming and going on the street, and the peddlers and pawns had begun to beg for a living for a day.
In front of my store, there was a long queue as usual, all of whom were waiting to eat duck fat shortbread and duck vermicelli soup.
Zuixianlou is a centuries-old store and has a good reputation in Yuyang City.
The whole duck feast at noon and evening is very expensive, and not everyone can afford it. Therefore, many small rich families will choose to come to eat breakfast in the morning, which can not only taste the taste of Zuixianlou, but also the price is much more affordable......
Then, Shi Tong saw a person.
Dressed in white clothes, with a gentle complexion, who is Chen Wang?
"Sir, why don't you say anything when you come?"
Shi Tong immediately walked down quickly and greeted Chen Wang.
"Your store's duck fat shortbread and duck vermicelli soup are really delicious, come to buy them for breakfast, and don't bother the shopkeeper."
"Sir is so polite. What does the gentleman eat, just give an order, we can send it to the house, why use the gentleman to come in person? Not to mention queuing up here. ”
As Shi Tong spoke, he turned around and instructed the man to take a food box and pack some delicious food in the store.
The guy said yes and quickly came out with a food box.
"Then it's disrespectful. However, I must give the money, otherwise I will not be able to come to you again for dinner. ”
This food box contains a few duck fat shortbread, a duck vermicelli soup, two glutinous rice balls, several exquisite snacks and small pickles.
Chen Wang remembered the price, took out dozens of dollars, and stuffed them into Shi Tong's hand.
Then, he looked at the food box and said, "I'll return this food box when I come next time." ”
"Mr. Bright, we can't be too stingy in the Drunken Immortal Building. This money is small to accept, but Mr. this food box must not be polite, take it back for easy use. Shi Tong insisted.
"Then thank you to the shopkeeper."
Chen Wang was no longer polite.
This lacquered food box is exquisitely carved and the price is absolutely expensive.
Shi Tong may be grateful for Chen Wang's help to make a name for himself last night, or he may value the relationship between Chen Wang and the county lord, and give it sincerely, so Chen Wang accepted it.
Carrying the food box and walking home.
The little woman at the door was washing rice in the canal and cooking.
Seeing him come back, he looked up, just as Chen Wang came over, the two looked at each other, and the little woman immediately lowered her head in a panic like a frightened deer, washing a few wild vegetables next to her......
There is a custom in one place.
The water towns in the agricultural era are almost like this.
This canal flows in front of the door, and when we get up in the morning, we agree to first clean up the toilet bowl, spittoon, etc., and clean up all the filth of the night, pour it into the drain, and scrub the bucket clean.
After letting the water flow for a while, I started to make breakfast.
Still in the same canal, washing rice, washing vegetables, and even washing clothes after meals are all in this canal.
Of course, this is the market life of the common people, and the wealthy families have wells in their homes.
The villa where Chen Wang lives also has a well, which makes him quite happy.
Although he respects the customs of the water town and understands that the canal is living water, and it will be clean after it flows away, psychologically speaking, he really can't accept it.
When he went out for a walk in the morning, he looked all the way over, which big girl was on fire and had a thick, he knew it......
If he were to cook with such water, he would probably lose his appetite.
Not far away, there were women gathered in twos and threes, muttering something while washing rice, and discussing the short things in the family.
Seeing Chen Wang approaching, he immediately quieted down, and looked at Chen Wang with his eyes, looking up and down.
Chen Wang knew that at this time, his every move was magnified tenfold.
He didn't care, smiling, and saying hello to his new neighbors.
The men replied with a stiff voice.
After Chen Wang walked over, he heard the chatter behind him.
is talking about him wearing a robe, gentle and elegant, like a family son, but the family should not buy food by himself.
He also said that he was carrying a food box from the Drunken Immortal Building, which was luxurious enough.
