Some people like to be idle, and some people don't like to be idle, in the final analysis, it's all because of the lack of heart, so of course it's hard to be calm.

......

Many people in Fengzhou know that there is a big day in recent days, which is the annual "Ascension Day".

Legend has it that on the day of the beginning of autumn, the fairyland on the fairy mountain will be opened, and the immortals will come out of the fairyland and come to the world to select heirs...... In fact, in the final analysis, it is just the Linfeng Sword Sect that opens the mountain and accepts people.

It's just that the Linfeng Sword Sect is just like its name, respecting the sword, cultivating with the sword, and being famous for the sword world, and has secured the position of the overlord of the Wind Continent.

There are many people who can use swords in this world, but there are not many people who are suitable for real sword cultivation, so because of these, the rules for selecting disciples from the Linfeng Sword Sect are not as humane as those in the Boundless School Palace, but are extremely strict.

But even so, the temptation of becoming an immortal has also made countless people rush to it, and they all want to express themselves on this day and worship in the Boundless Learning Palace.

The inn is located at the foot of the mountain of Linfeng Sword, and in this wilderness, this inn has been open for many years. On weekdays, it also relied on the presence of some Linfeng disciples or passing merchants, so that this simple hut made of thatch and wood could survive for a long time and make a living.

Thanks to the grand occasion of the "Ascension Day", the business of the inn has been very good recently, and there is an endless stream of visitors at the door, and even many people have spontaneously sat on the ground outside the inn because they have no place, and they sit together in groups of three or five and talk eloquently, and the content of what is said is not a major event of ascending to the immortal in a few days.

The shopkeeper of the small inn is a rickety old woman with an ugly face, her simple peasant clothes are rolled up with her sleeves, her wrinkled hands are wrinkled by the years, her thin skin is exposed to the air, and occasionally when she walks through the crowd with a dinner plate, it always makes people wonder if she will suddenly slip her hand and knock over everything in her hand.

But looking at her skillful appearance and smiling eyes, thinking about such a good business made her not feel tired.

The twilight was dreary, and when the last sunset on the horizon was about to disappear, a figure walked out from the direction of the glow, came to the world like a god, and slowly walked towards the inn.

No one noticed this, and even if anyone did, no one could see that there was anything wrong. Even if the middle-aged man dressed in black came to the front, at most, he would let the crowds of immortal seekers at the door of the small inn glance at random and stop paying attention.

Coincidentally, when the middle-aged man first arrived at the inn, the two people closest to him happened to have eaten and drunk enough, got up and prepared to leave, so that he could sit down immediately, and there was no need to crowd outside with those noisy ordinary people.

"Shopkeeper, quench your thirst with a bowl of ice powder!"

As soon as the middle-aged man sat down, he immediately greeted the busy old woman in a loud voice and ordered a bowl of special ice powder from this small stack. Although the crowd was noisy, his words fell into the ears of the shopkeeper very clearly, and the old woman raised her head to look in the direction he was, and shouted randomly: "Good at good at good at it, this guest officer, you wait a minute, this will be sent to you." ”

After the old woman finished answering, she immediately walked to the corner of the small stack, opened the lids containing all kinds of ingredients, took out a large bowl and began to add all kinds of condiments to it.

After a while, the old woman walked up with a bowl full of things that looked crystal clear, gently put them on the table, bowed politely and said, "Your ice powder, please use it slowly!"

The old woman retreated as she spoke, and the middle-aged man also nodded, and then he didn't pretentiously, he directly picked up the spoon on the side, put it in the bowl, and sent it to his mouth.

Cool and sweet sesame seeds and mixed with peanut crumbs float together in the sugar water, with bursts of floral fragrance refreshing, tender taste overflowing in the mouth, swallowing, the cool sour syrup and sugar water together from the throat to the abdomen, in this hot weather, this refreshing feeling is really enjoyable.

After eating it in one bite, the middle-aged man only felt refreshed, and immediately put two spoonfuls in a row and put them in his mouth to taste carefully.

Ingredients such as fresh fruit pulp and dried grapes hidden in the bowl were turned out because of his agitation, tangled with many fragrant petals, creating a beautiful contrasting effect. When you enter the crushed ice in the bowl, it is hidden in the ice powder that is as transparent as amber, and it looks like a dreamy beauty.

In the daytime, this little bowl of ice powder is definitely even more dazzling and charming. After all, in Wind Island, it's one of the most popular and delicious snacks to cool off in summer.

Soon, a bowl of ice powder was swept away by the middle-aged man, and he seemed to be very unhappy, so he raised his hand again and shouted: "Shopkeeper, another bowl, and a bowl of tofu brain!"

In the same way, his words penetrated into the old woman's ears very clearly, and were not drowned out by the noisy sounds around him.

After waiting for a long time, the old woman came up and put down two full bowls again, and the middle-aged man saw this and praised it sincerely: "The things in your small shop are really delicious, and they are not too much compared to those delicacies from the mountains and seas!"

When the old woman heard this, she squinted, raised her hand to cover the veil on her face and chuckled, and seemed to be very happy and said: "Guest officer, you are really good at talking, in this poor and remote country, how can this kind of country dish be compared with those delicacies of the mountains and seas." ”

Seeing this, the middle-aged man raised his right leg under the table and put it on his left knee, and said with a whimsical approach: "Don't be modest, I'm telling the truth, I like to eat and drink the most in my life, and I've eaten a lot of things, but there are very few people who can compare to your craft." "Zero Long Literature Network

"Really?" the old woman said as if she didn't believe it, but in fact, the happy mood in her tone was genuine.

Subsequently, the old woman was not stingy, and said generously: "That's really my honor, guest officer, you are really a lovely person, since you like it so much, then you can eat more, today I have a snack in this small store for you to eat, I invite!"

"Are the words serious?" the middle-aged man said with a happy look on his face and confirmed to the old woman.

Seeing him like this, the old woman's face hidden under the veil chuckled again, and said kindly: "Naturally, take it seriously!"

After being affirmed, the middle-aged man really hit the snake with a stick, and seemed to be very proud to open his mouth and instructed the old woman: "Okay, if you say that, give me another bowl of your snacks, I want to eat and drink enough today!"

"Okay, I'll bring it up to you!" said the old woman as she turned to leave, and after a bit of tinkering, she brought a lot more and put them on the table.

However, this was only the beginning, and soon, the man's voice was loud again.

"The shopkeeper also needs two bowls of buckwheat noodles, and the ice powder also needs ......"

"Shopkeeper, another bowl of tofu brain......"

"The shopkeeper wants cold powder ......"

"The shopkeeper's ...... Shopkeeper's ......"

......

The night is getting darker, and the shopkeeper has already lit up a lot of oil lamps in the small stack, making the small stack the only bright place in the night, and it looks good in the dark night.

Many of the people around the inn have left, but there are still some people sitting here enjoying the delicious food. It's just that every time the voice of the guy in the corner of the small stack sounds, many people's faces twitch a little.

Since the old woman promised the man to eat more, no need to pay, and completely invited him, the man's original demeanor has been gone, the whole person is like a ruffian, has been asking for this and that, the empty bowls on his table have been piled up, and even there are many empty bowls on the ground around him, and some of them have been taken away and washed many times by the shopkeeper.

"It's shameless!" This is the thought of everyone present, and those who came after did not know the situation, and after knowing the situation, they also became extremely contemptuous.

Of course, there are some people who despise it, but still admire it. After all, after eating so much, it is estimated that there must be hundreds of catties of things, especially many of them are sugar water and the like, and he can not only eat it, but he has never even been to the toilet, he has been sitting on the stool and not leaving, he has been eating, and he has been eating until now, and he is still completely fine, which is really shocking.

On the other hand, the old woman, if she were an ordinary person, she might have been impatient for a long time. But she was so annoyed that she did the same thing over and over again, constantly meeting the man's requirements, without the slightest displeasure, and it was difficult for others to talk if they wanted to fight for her.

Time passed in such a busy way, the middle-aged man was busy eating all kinds of snacks, the old woman was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and making all kinds of fresh food for him.

Finally, after the middle-aged man finished eating a bowl of cold skin, he stretched out comfortably and said with satisfaction: "Hmm...... I'm finally full, and this is the most sustained time I've had in years. ”

"Hehe!" Hearing this, the old woman walked over with a soft laugh and said to the middle-aged man: "It's good to be full, it's a happy thing to have a full meal when you go out." ”

"Yes!" the man replied with some feeling, then looked at the pile of porcelain bowls beside him, and asked with some frowns: "But then again, I have eaten so much, I can catch up with the amount you sold this day, shopkeeper, isn't it bad not to let me pay?"

And you don't have to care at all, it's a blessing to be able to eat, seeing that you have such a good appetite and like the old body's craftsmanship so much, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I be angry. If you like it, come often in the future, and the old body won't accept half of you!"

"Hey!"

Hearing the old woman's words, the middle-aged man suddenly sighed inexplicably, and then looked at the old woman who was busy cleaning up nearby, with a burst of regret in his expression.

But in the end, he still opened his mouth and said to the old woman: "Actually, I can eat so much, and the reason why I eat so hard is not for you." ”

"Where did the guest officer start with this?" Hearing this, the old woman stopped the broom in her hand, raised her head and looked at the middle-aged man suspiciously, and no one knew the expression under the veil.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, and then said, "If I don't eat more, how can I let you buy this life of yours!"
