Chapter 71, Be a Mortal
The narrow official road can only accommodate a horse-drawn carriage, but it is wide when a single person walks on it.
Qi Yun was carrying a sword on his back at this time, straddled a donkey, and tied a gourd around his waist. His eyes were closed, and his body swayed to and from the old donkey's pace.
There are constantly pedestrians passing by, either in a hurry or in a hurry, but after seeing this young Taoist priest with crystal skin and elegant clothes, he can only stop and praise in his heart, what a dusty Taoist!
worked hard from the mundane, and became a high-ranking immortal, and there was still a little nostalgia in the rest of the contentment.
The Lingshi Mine is not too far from the mountain gate, and it only takes three or five days to go by crane.
But he had to reminisce about the taste of mortals, suppressed his cultivation to the third level of qi refining, rode a donkey with a sword on his back, and pretended to be a fledgling little Taoist.
The good name is said: to observe the people's feelings.
"Uh-huh!" the donkey called suddenly.
When Qi Yun heard the shout, he opened his eyes and looked ahead.
It is already close to the county seat, and there is a small shop in front of it for people to rest and settle. Kick the donkey lightly, this product is very humane, and then take a step and move closer to the small shop.
As soon as I arrived at the small shop, I found that although the shop was small, it was full of organs. There are not only tents for passers-by to beg for water and drink, but also wine shops for people to eat and rest.
As soon as Qi Yun got off the donkey, Xiao Er stepped forward quickly and took the reins for him briskly.
"Guest, please, and I'll lead the donkey to the back stable. ”
After handing over the old donkey, Qi Yun said lightly: "Salt water, soybeans, eggs, if any, add them together." ”
"Okay, I'll get it. Xiao Er heard it and returned happily.
Just as Qi Yun walked towards the wine shop, a person suddenly rushed out of the wine shop. He was a man with a felt hat and a leather jacket, dressed as a shepherd.
The man grabbed the shopkeeper and said, "You shopkeeper, remember that my animal should not be fed or fed. ”
When Xiao Er heard his words, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, guest officer, although our small shop is small, we also have some forage, and the price is cheap, even if you don't want it, we will also give you a little for those animals to beat their teeth and sacrifice." ”
When the shepherd heard Xiao Er's words, he shook his head, he glared at Xiao Er and said, "I said that you are a guy, and I told you not to feed it, but don't feed it." But if you don't listen, I'll let the treasurer teach you. ”
When Xiao Er heard this, the smile on his face stiffened a little, so he had to nod and say no more.
Qi Yun paused slightly when he heard this conversation, he looked up at the back of the store, and found that there was a large pile of livestock crowded in the stable.
There were five or six donkeys, seven or eight horses, and a dozen sheep. These animals are huddled together, their hooves gnawing and moving.
Xiao Er saw Qi Yun looking at the stable, and said, "Don't worry, guest officer, your treasure donkey will have a place to rest." ”
After speaking, Xiao Er led the donkeys to the donkeys and tied them to the shed.
When the shepherd saw that Xiao Er should answer his words, he scolded, and swaggered towards the wine shop.
However, Qi Yun looked at the stable behind the store, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
After squinting his eyes slightly, he reverted to a dull expression and walked into the wine shop quietly.
The restaurant is made of pillars and canopy, but the shopkeepers have taken care that the shed is spacious enough to fit more than a dozen tables for four people.
The pillars inside are also the thickness of the sea bowl, which can withstand the weight of the roof of the shed, and there is no doubt that there is a danger of collapse.
And because it's a shed, the inside of the sake store is very well lit, and once you enter, you can hardly notice the dimness. There are also stoves around it, and the bamboo charcoal is burning red, and a breath of heat can be put out.
Qi Yun entered this wine shop, and he felt warm for a while, and his heart was very satisfied.
Although his body has a considerable gap with mortals under the polishing of mana, even in this bleak late autumn, it is enough to wrap in a single coat.
But after all, he is still mortal, and he likes this warm environment even more.
Half of the dozen tables were already occupied, and Qi Yun chose one at random, close to the shepherd.
As soon as he sat down, a young man with a cloth towel on his shoulder stepped forward, "Guest, what do you want to eat?"
Qi Yun said, "Is there any beef?"
The guy nodded, "Yes, the best black beef is marinated, just roll it in boiling water, and you can also drizzle sesame oil." ”
Hearing the guy say this, Qi Yun glanced at him in surprise, there was really beef.
It must be known that this ox can plough the field, and its role in the field is far better than that of two or three middle-aged men, so the local government prohibits the killing of ploughing cattle.
Generally, only big restaurants will have beef, and the background of the shopkeeper is also needed to be able to communicate with people. Qi Yun also saw that this small shop was peculiar and unique, so he asked this question.
Seeing Qi Yun looking at himself, the guy wiped the table and smirked, but he didn't say anything.
Qi Yun was just curious, he didn't care so much, he immediately said: "If there is, let's go first, first serve three catties of cooked beef, and then have a bowl of rice and green wine." ”
Rice green sake is made by using glutinous rice as the raw material to reduce the flavor of the liquor but retain a little sweetness.
It is not strong, but it is mellow and sweet, and even a woman can drink a bowl or two. It is quite popular here, especially by some Confucian scholars.
"Okay. "The man put on a cloth towel and shouted with joy.
It didn't take long for Qi Yun's food to be served. He pulled out a pair of chopsticks, blew them, and ate them.
Cooked beef black crisp, put in the mouth, not sticky to the teeth, there is a strong fragrance, should be marinated with five spices. Yu Dao grabbed a pair of chopsticks and nodded suddenly.
Although the immortals drink the dew, the immortals also have elixir and jade liquid. The desire of the tongue is not worth coveting, but it is a pity to lose it.
After Qi Yun tasted it, he immediately held his sleeve robe with one hand, stretched out his handbag with the other, and kept picking up the cooked beef and putting it in his mouth.
Although the spirit fruit is wonderful, it is not as good as three catties of beef.
Refreshing.
His action of feasting attracted the attention of a person next to him, who looked at Qi Yun eating cooked beef, and suddenly shouted: "Little Er, this person will also give me a portion of the food." ”
The man who spoke was the same shepherd as before, and he was hunched down on the table, eating only noodles.
At this time, I was tempted by Qi Yun, but I couldn't help it.
"A shepherd can afford to eat beef. When Qi Yun heard his words, he paid even more attention in his heart.
After the guy ran over, he looked at the shepherd apologetically and said, "This guest officer, but I'm sorry, the guest next to me ordered three catties, and the small shop has five taels of marinated cooked beef, less than three catties." ”
"What do you say?" the shepherd slapped his chopsticks, his eyes bulged, and he scolded loudly, and the man stood aside and laughed, and it was not easy to deal with it.
The shepherd glared at the man angrily, and saw that there was a bowl of dough on his table, but he licked his chapped lips and said deflatedly: "Five taels is five taels, all for me, and others don't want to ask for it again today." ”
