Chapter 240: Eat because of mercy
Xuan Jiao's eyes were full of indifferent smiles, in the dictionary, there are many explanations of indifference, such as the appearance of indifference and silence, such as coldness, such as dazed and unconscious, these explanations are very suitable for her who often exudes natural stupidity, especially the one that is dazed and unconscious.
It didn't take long for it to come to a meadow surrounded by dozens of sheep and a few tents behind it, which looked like a herdsmen's tribe, but it was too small.
Xuan Jiao looked at the angle of the starlight, and saw that there was still snow in the distance
It looked at the length of the grass again, and was a little puzzled as to why there was such a store on the north side of the great city.
Out of the tent came a few herdsmen, dark complexion, with a cautious look mixed with panic, and it seemed that these herdsmen rarely encountered outsiders.
It walked over to the herdsmen, ready to see what food was in the tent and pay for it.
It looked at the qiē in front of it, and then listened to the herdsmen muttering to themselves: "Our roasted leg of lamb is not the most delicious, but the secret method of roasting the leg of mutton has long disappeared, so now the best leg of lamb in the world is here." ”
Xuan Jiao's body was shrouded in a black coat, but he still laughed out loud and said, "So, is this already a delicacy in the world?"
When the herdsman heard this, he slapped his thigh with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, yes." ”
After that, a woman came out of the tent and distributed two bowls of milk wine and brought them to Xuanjiao and the herdsman.
The herdsman took a sip and shouted hello. Then he said to Xuan Jiao: "You also drink it, it tastes good." ”
At this moment, the leg of lamb was finally roasted, and the woman respectfully took the jade that Xuan Jiao had given him, and then withdrew.
Xuan Jiao didn't know what words to use to describe this legendary roast leg of lamb in the world, smelling the fragrance of the leg of lamb, looking at the distracting oil theory on the leg of lamb, his index finger moved.
But at such times, it seems to be as it is, according to the imagination of the brain. Use a sharp knife to cut two slices on the best part of the leg of lamb. And then sent to their own lips.
Chewing mutton in his mouth, his eyes closed, holding a milk wine bowl, his expression was very intoxicated. Just for the next moment. Use milk wine to turn the aroma of lamb legs in your mouth into a charming drunkenness.
"Something is wrong. The herdsman suddenly opened his eyes.
Then he was like an old farmer who had just finished eating noodles by the roadside. Snapping his lips, he carefully tasted the feeling in his mouth, and his face changed suddenly. said: "This mutton is not right. ”
Xuan Jiao was stunned, cut another slice on the roast leg of lamb, put it in his mouth and chewed it, only to feel that the meat was delicious and pleasant to the extreme, and almost chewed off his tongue, thinking that something was wrong?
It asked, "Excuse me, what's wrong?"
The herdsman said angrily: "This mutton doesn't look like mutton anymore, can it still be called mutton!"
Xuan Jiao didn't understand at all, this was not like mutton.
The herdsman suddenly fell silent, looked at the roast leg of lamb and sighed.
Then he looked at the woman behind him, sighed and shook his head.
The woman didn't understand what was happening, and asked in a low voice, "Husband, do you want a bowl of mutton soup?"
The herdsman was annoyed and said, "I can't eat the meat, what kind of soup do I drink?"
Mutton doesn't taste like mutton, but after all, it's still meat, there is meat to eat, there is money to make, and after all, it's still a happy thing, so after the herdsman is troubled and angry, he still has to continue to eat meat, but when he eats, he keeps sighing, looking at the mutton in his hand and sighing, looking at his wife sighing, looking at the sky and sighing.
The woman didn't understand what was going on, and neither did Xuan Jiao, so the woman patted Xuan Jiao's shoulder, signaled that there was nothing wrong, moved to the herdsman's side, and asked in a low voice, "We raised this mutton, how can there be a problem?"
The herdsman looked gloomy and said, "Of course there is a problem, when have we ever received money from others?"
Xuan Jiao looked at the conversation of the couple in front of him, but somehow began to fall silent.
When the woman heard this, she was terrified, and said, "We don't have many sheep left!"
When the herdsmen heard this, they were furious and rebuked: "You only care about your own sheep, and you don't care about my face at all?
Xuan Jiao raised his sleeves, wiped off the spittle and oil flower stars on the side of the mask, and thought stupidly, this herdsman's temper is really big, and it is a matter of course to eat and collect money, what is so strange about this?
As soon as he thought of this, he didn't know what to say, so he whispered to the herdsman, "It's nothing, if you have money, you will have more sheep, and I will eat more meat." ”
The roast leg of lamb was eaten by Xuan Jiao alone after a while, and in his opinion, this was definitely the best leg of lamb he had ever eaten in his life.
Although it still wanted to eat, it saw that there were only a few sheep left in the herdsmen, and it didn't expect it to be a little unbearable.
It didn't take long for the ground of the wasteland to tremble slightly, and the sheep in the meadow seemed to sense great panic and fled southward, and a few sheep were directly frightened and fainted and faked their deaths.
A huge snowfield giant wolf and a relatively skinny ordinary male wolf led the wolves slowly from the snow dunes in the north of the meadow, but when Xuan Jiao glared at them, they began to tremble.
He saluted respectfully to Xuan Jiao, and then looked at the wolves behind him with a majestic gaze.
Then the wolves behind the giant wolf also saluted Xuan Jiao one by one, and then began to leave the place quickly, but no matter how it looked, it looked like an escape.
After the wolves left, Xuanjiao also left the herdsman tribe that lived in the world, with the smell of mutton balsam, rising and falling on the green grassland, leaving a lot of ants.
It walked very quietly, and did not even alarm the herdsmen, I don't know how long it went, there was a noise in front of it, there were shouting and selling, there were shouting and opening the road, there were the sound of Xiaoer welcoming customers, there were the sound of horses' hooves, and there were greetings.
Xuan Jiao was stopping on a lively long street at this time, and returned to the big city.
The street is crowded with buildings. Pedestrians weave. The shops are like a forest, the hawkers are shouting one after another, there are sedan chair men carrying sedan chairs and shouting, and there are arrogant young people beating horses.
Xuan Jiao walked slowly on this bustling street, surrounded by a crowd of black oppressors, and he didn't know what he was praying for.
When the starry sky fades, the night fades, and the blue starry sky returns, people get up from the ground, and life returns to normal at an unimaginable speed. Someone has finished praying. I began to care about my own small stall business, my own business.
Xuan Jiao stopped in front of an inconspicuous restaurant.
The restaurant was already full of people, and the sound of wine made the fist endless, and it climbed the stairs into the building. Walk through the diners and drunks. Come to the relatively quiet three-story building.
"I was still on my knees and shivering. At this time, he began to drink and eat meat, and the business of the restaurant was so good, in addition to suppressing the shock. All the more because everyone needs to eat. ”
Xuanjiao looked at the diners downstairs and said to Zhichang: "For these ordinary people, eating is always the most important thing, because eating is to live, and living is more important than anything, more important than the law, more important than morality, more important than faith, more important than anything. ”
"Being alive is the most important thing, the only purpose of being alive, and any thing like that, emotional knowledge, is an accessory to living, and this order must be clarified. ”
Zhichang laughed, he didn't know what Xuanjiao had experienced, but he didn't understand that a Jiaolong would understand such a truth, but after thinking about it, he said: "But there must be some meaning to live, otherwise it won't be interesting." ”
Xuan Jiao nodded and said, "Of course, you have to pursue it a little, but you have to live first to be qualified to find meaning." ”
Before Zhichang could figure out what kind of medicine Xuan Jiao had taken, Xuan Jiao had already picked up the menu and ordered eighteen dishes.
Xuan Jiao loves to eat and is good at eating, as long as he is present, ordering this kind of thing, of course, it is not the turn of others, the so-called hot and cold meat and vegetables, the monarch and the minister, the combination is extremely refreshing, just looking at the menu is enough to make people drool.
Those dishes look simple, but the ingredients are actually very elegant, they need to be freshly cooked, and there is still some time before the dishes are served, Xuanjiao has already made arrangements, and a pot of chilled taro paste is on the table.
"The pursuit of dessert is sweet, what I despise the most is those foodies who require desserts to be light, if you want to be light, you can drink water, what sweets to eat?"
Xuanjiao gave himself a bowl of chilled sweet taro paste, looked at Zhichang and asked: "Zhichang Daoyou, where don't you meet, I didn't expect to see you here"
Zhichang was serving sweet taro paste to himself, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, thinking that one moment he was still talking about the knowledge of ordering food and the truth of food, and the next moment he turned to the topic of where not to meet, it was too sudden.
There was a sound of quarrel from below the restaurant, probably the pedestrian who was hit in the head by the spoon, and wanted to enter the restaurant to find the perpetrator, Zhichang didn't have such a thing, looked at Xuan Jiao and said, "Do you think I don't like to eat?"
"I thought you human monks had already cleared the valley. Xuan Jiao nodded, put the empty bowl on the table, and continued to serve taro paste.
"Have you ever eaten human flesh?" Zhichang looked at Xuanjiao and said with a slight smile.
Xuan Jiao shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be, maybe not, I don't know." ”
"You've never eaten human flesh, how could you not know? Zhichang drank a glass of wine, put a little side dish in his mouth with chopsticks, and asked slowly.
"yes...... How could I not know?" Xuan Jiao laughed and said, "I haven't eaten it, but I have eaten those demon beasts that eat human flesh, this should be regarded as eating human flesh." ”
Zhichang looked at Xuan Jiao and was slightly stunned, he didn't know what to say at this time, but fortunately, the dish came at this time.
One person and one demon eat eighteen dishes, a very hearty meal.
Zhichang was a little unable to support it, but fortunately, Xuanjiao really deserved the name of a foodie, and he swept away the eighteen dishes.
Xuanjiao took a cup of double sprouts to clear his stomach, and he enjoyed it very much.
Zhichang hiccuped, thinking about what Xuan Jiao said before, his mood was as heavy as his stomach, and he rubbed his somewhat numb face, ready to ask what he said.
Xuan Jiao put down the teacup and said, "I used to see other demon beasts eating human flesh, but for some reason, I gave up this move. ”
Zhichang asked, "Why?"
Xuan Jiao pointed to the crumbling table of cups and plates, and said, "If people want to eat, I will also eat, and the monks will also eat, and it will also eat." ”
Hearing this, Zhichang nodded, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to say goodbye to Xuanjiao and continued his journey in the big city. (To be continued......)
