Volume 1 Fan Dao Chapter 52 Mountains and rivers sell in the golden city
Chun Chuan City from the west along the Fenglong River to go, there is a city, backed by the West Pole Snow Mountain, facing the ancient road of the sun, the name of the Golden City.
Pinjin City is the four cities in the north, adjacent to the mountain and sea city, the west leads to the purple electric cliff, there is a mountain opposite the cliff, it is called Wangxian Mountain. There is a lake in the southeast, called Mingjing Lake.
The Jincheng that Baiyunqing has sold today is the only way to go to the West Pole Snow Mountain.
All the way, I traveled for a few days overnight, looking up at the tall and majestic city wall in front of me, I couldn't help but be amazed and surprised by the national strength of the Celestial Empire.
Although the gold city is not more prosperous than the Chunqiu City, all the way to the city gate, I have never seen a few soldiers to investigate, and all kinds of things here are indeed much inferior to the Chunchuan City.
After all, Chun Chun Cheng has convenient transportation, endless business and trade, and is located in the hinterland, it is really developing rapidly, but the sales of Jincheng is not, the location is biased, and it is in line with the Xuanming Sect on the snow mountain, and occasionally encounters the chaos of going down the mountain, although it is harmless, but the reputation is not as good as Chun Cheng outside.
There were only a few soldiers at the city gate who pretended to investigate, and when it was Bai Yunqing's turn, there was no episode, so they let them go at will.
Walk through the gate of the three-character city of "Pinjin City", enter along the stone road, it is past three o'clock in the afternoon at this time, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and occasionally you can see three or five white dings shouting together.
On both sides of the street, there are many shops opened by small people in the market, although there are many tricks, people are dazzling, but they are not as good as the treasures of the city.
Due to the weather, the stone road is as hot as fire, and the sweat beads on the foreheads of pedestrians are slightly falling, wiping the sweat, Bai Yunqing found an inn and walked in slowly.
The inn is quite old, and there is some ancient taste, the door of the store hangs a pair of couplets framed with red paint, Bai Yunqing looks sideways, the upper link has "the guest on the natural residence" and the lower link has "actually the heavenly guest" in the fixed eye, the door plaque is engraved with the big word "natural residence" in gold paint, Baiyun Qing pestle at the door, pondering, incomprehensible, a blink of an eye only feels the wonders, think about it but it is difficult to say the essence.
The diners all looked sideways, looking at them with strange eyes, and everyone was pointing at them, and they were inevitably a little embarrassed.
When he was puzzled, he saw a small house walking out of the store, and he greeted people with a smile, but when he lowered his head and smiled, his backbone was straight, like a green pine in the valley, straight but not slanted.
He greeted Bai Yunqing, shook the white cloth in his hand, and said with a smile, "Why didn't the little brother come in like this?"
Bai Yunqing was slightly surprised, and looked at the person who came, dressed in coarse linen clothes, with both ends of his sideburns on the back of his head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, good conversation, and decent manners, only a little short in stature, thin as a monkey's head.
"You are?"
"I'm a little guy in this store, and I just saw the little brother standing at the door for a long time, and it was strange for a while, and there were many diners coming and going, which ......"
When he said this, Bai Yunqing naturally understood, raised his hand and pointed forward, signaled to lead the way, and stepped into the store, only to deeply feel that this inn really lived up to the name of "natural residence".
Although there is no gold in the hall, the furnishings are also well organized. With the center of the hall pillar, it is the trend of the square circle, the corner of the nine palaces, several square tables are placed neatly one by one, the three square tables of the east and west are already full of diners, there are fists and drinks, there are poems for fun, among which laughter and laughter, foul words and broken words have their own.
In front of the hall is the front cabinet, with a piece of wood made of a cabinet to surround it, only one pass, there are three people busy before and after, one person collects accounts, one person transmits, one person intends to plate.
The front cabinet is next to the wooden ladder, and it should be a private room up, and there is a door covered with cloth under the wooden ladder, and occasionally the smell of food comes from the inside, shouting constantly, it should be the back kitchen.
"Is the guest on the way or in the lobby?"
Bai Yunqing pointed to a corner, walked over and sat at the remote table, and asked, "Bring me whatever you can eat!"
The little guy smiled and said, "I don't know what the guest officer wants, this is embarrassing."
Bai Yunqing smiled embarrassedly, a little drumming in his heart, it was the first time he had entered the inn, and he didn't know what it was, so he was afraid of making a joke, so he said nonsense.
The little guy comprehended, and had already guessed the reason, seeing that Bai Yunqing was extraordinary, with a sword on his back, he only said that he was not an ordinary person, I am afraid that the young master of the son came from, went out to practice, had never seen the world, thought about it clearly, and immediately smiled and said, "Our store has good wine, mountain and lake fish soup, and there are also beef ...... with energy"
Listening to the little girl's gushing introduction, Bai Yunqing suddenly felt that the water in his mouth was direct, and his stomach seemed to be bitten by ants, and he was in a hurry overnight, planning to rest in Pinjin City for a day, but it was difficult to choose, and he only felt delicious for a while.
"Forget about the wine, I was knocked by the master when I drank it secretly before, what did you say, 'Green Dragon Crossing the Sea', 'Flying Ants on the Tree', 'Mixed Yuan Thunderbolt', 'Phoenix Yu Fei', 'Buddha Meditation', these are all in one!
The little guy replied well, and then handed Bai Yunqing an unpredictable smile, which made Bai Yunqing confused for a while.
"Slow"
Bai Yunqing slapped the table, only then did he remember the couplet at the door, and he was puzzled for a while, and wanted to ask him why.
"Little Er, do you know the couplets outside the door?"
The little guy raised his head and raised his mouth, and said quite vigorously, "That's nature, this is our shopkeeper has a good reward, a person who is a person who is personally written!"
"But there is a deep meaning, I only feel that it is meaningful when I read it, but I don't understand its meaning"
"That's natural, then everyone is knowledgeable, you are still young and understand the charm, don't say it's you, if it weren't for a passing scholar to solve everyone's doubts, this natural three words, really can't be famous in Jincheng!"
"Oh, that's a bit famous, tell me about it."
"This is also quite mysterious, machine, to know that the guests on the natural residence, is to say that the guests come to us, but it is unremarkable, only the next link out, actually the heavenly guests, but the guests are said to be heavenly immortals, how can you not be happy?"
Seeing the little guy talking about it, Bai Yunqing was a little disapproving, feeling that this couplet was just not worthy of the name, and after thinking about it, he found the mystery in it, and suddenly said, "This couplet goes back and forth, upside down smoothly, it is wonderful!"
"Exactly!"
The little guy didn't say much, and shouted at the back kitchen, "The guests want to 'cross the sea'............ One for each one!" After greeting, he went to work elsewhere.
As soon as the diners in the hall heard the name of the dish ordered by Bai Yunqing, they immediately burst into laughter, and their words were inconsistent.
"Another stupid boy, who was bluffed by that head"
"yes, I'll surprise him later!"
"Hahaha!
Bai Yunqing heard it in a fog, and he didn't know what everyone meant, so he didn't care, and it wasn't until another little guy put the dishes on the table that he understood why the diners in the hall were laughing.
The green dragon crosses the sea, the green dragon is more than one, only to see a few slender green vegetable strips floating in the pork rib soup in the soup pot, the soup is rich, it is called the green dragon crossing the sea.
This mixed thunderbolt is even more surprising, but it is a plate of fried peanuts.
Flying ants go up the tree, but a bowl of green onion and sesame rice noodles with a little chicken broth.
To say that this Buddha meditated, it is even more laughable to cry and laugh, it is actually a gourd wrapped in tofu and standing on a plate.
Fortunately, this phoenix Yu Fei is not too much, the delicate and crispy yellow skin, with the chicken wings that are spreading to the sky, the big red flower of the chicken head stands up to the sky, and there are three or five dishes on the plate.
The corners of his eyes trembled a few times, Bai Yunqing had no words to describe it, and after thinking about it, he also felt reasonable, he had never seen the green dragon and phoenix, how could any mortal dare to eat it?
Tearing off a chicken leg and stuffing it into his mouth, making a whining chewing sound, and when he was smashing the bar to taste it, a dirty hand suddenly appeared under the table, and he pulled his phoenix off the table under Bai Yunqing's nose.
Bai Yunqing was angry on the spot, buried his head in a look, and saw a mad monk dressed in tattered robes, hanging a yellow gourd wine pot on his waist, wearing a pointed hat, and a Buddha character on his hat. He had two pairs of straw sandals under his feet, only the grass belt was attached to his heels, and his toes were still sticking out and moving. He held a broken fan in his left hand and a white cloud phoenix in his right hand. After a while, he put the fan under his armpit, grabbed the phoenix with two dirty hands at the same time, pulled one thigh, and sent it to his mouth.
The entrance of the chicken legs, only listening to the sound of "um~", like a delicious taste, and deliberately dragging the sound into a long roar, Bai Yunqing heard it in his ears, his fists clenched, and he wanted to have a seizure, but he saw that the crazy monk sent the phoenix back to the table, as if he didn't see Bai Yunqing, wiped his mouth, and put the fingers of his hands into his mouth one by one to chew, and at the end, made a "ah......" sound.
"Yo Yo Yo, little donor, polite, polite"
The mad monk smiled, twisted his body, slapped the fan and stood up, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and said to Bai Yunqing.
Bai Yun glanced at the phoenix on the table, and saw that the mad monk was disheveled, not saying a word, and he didn't look like a monk at all, thinking that he was just a mortal, and he didn't bother to bother with him.
suppressed his anger and snorted coldly, "You crazy monk, you are very rude! Knowing that this chicken is on my table, I took it without saying a word, just give it to you!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves, sat down angrily, pulled a few mixed thunderbolts from the table, held them in his hands, squeezed them hard, and saw that they were already broken.
The mad monk lowered his head and twisted his waist, pouted and squinted, shook his head, patted his chest with a fan, and pointed to the phoenix on the table, and said in a long voice in his mouth, "Oh, sin and sin, little benefactor, the poor monk has thanked him, but this roast chicken poor monk has eaten a leg, and he has already filled his stomach with eight points, only if you send me, I will not be able to excuse myself!"
Before the words fell, he sat opposite Bai Yunqing with big hands and feet, put the fan down, grabbed the roast chicken unceremoniously, and chewed it with a big mouthful.
"You!"
Bai Yunqing was furious and pointed his finger at him, and the mad monk stretched out his hand and patted it, and said with a smile: "Little benefactor......, what is the reason for this?
"You ......" Bai Yunqing was dumbfounded, laughed angrily, his face turned red, and he continued to condense his breath and breathe, signaling himself to calm down.
The mad monk squinted at him, nodded slightly, and then showed a cheerful expression, took out the wine gourd on his waist, "bang" The gourd was opened, and he poured it into his mouth, "Tsk~"
Seeing that the person in front of him was so brazen and patient, Bai Yunqing snorted coldly, sneered again and again, and mocked: "You crazy monk, what kind of Buddha are you cultivating! What kind of Tao are you seeking? Eating meat and drinking wine? The Buddha is cleanly polluted by your pickled things!"
The mad monk didn't seem to hear it. He drank and had fun by himself, then put down the wine gourd, frowned, closed his eyes, plucked his ears with his little finger, put them to his mouth and blew them, and said with a smile, "What kind of Tao do you cultivate, what kind ......of Buddha do you worship? What about poor monks?
He pulled a piece of chicken skin, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Bai Yunqing's eyes, closed his eyes and looked like he was enjoying it, and then put the meat in his mouth and said, "Hehe, the wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart." There are so many red tapes and trivialities, they are all fake monks, and only poor monks are real monks!"
