Lunch was very simple, the fish was steamed, with its original flavor, the chili was stir-fried, spicy and tangy, and the vegetables were put in soup, which was fresh and tender. Even the pot of rice tasted particularly delicious.
It seems that the food also likes to be tasted by people. No matter how hard he tries, he just can't get this kind of taste.
There is a small mountain village at the foot of Zhugexian Mountain, and its name is Zhugexian Village. It does not seem to have this name before, but later it was changed to this name in order to develop tourism in Zhuge Fairy Mountain.
There is a night market in Zhugexian Village, which is convenient for nearby villagers to buy vegetables. So this night market is not actually a night market as the literal meaning suggests, but is prepared for dinner in the afternoon.
There are not many stalls in the market, but the variety is quite complete. Chicken, duck, fish, vegetables, fruits, whatever is available outside, you can basically buy it here.
In this small village in the mountains, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival has begun to thicken. Tomorrow seems to be New Year's Eve, so Hunyun bought a Stove Lord so that he could invite him back on New Year's Eve. New Year, new atmosphere, I hope they can keep their Taoist temple safe and sound next year.
This is probably due to traditional thinking. Ever since I got married, doing this every year has become a part of celebrating the New Year.
I just don’t know since when, it seems that being a guest during the Chinese New Year has become less popular. During the Spring Festival, whether relatives can get together to have a meal seems to have become a luxury. There will always be one or two who are not at home or traveling. or simply didn’t want to be a guest and hid out.
A group of people always complain that the Spring Festival does not feel like the Spring Festival anymore, but I unconsciously join the ranks of these people and regard this Spring Festival holiday as a real holiday.
Hunyun doesn't care about this, and it doesn't matter even more this year.
He doesn't go down the mountain every day, so he wants to stock up on some goods and go back. Vegetables, melons and fruits can be stored in this winter. There was a chicken seller in the market today, and he picked four at once, just in time to buy them back and start cooking.
My favorite is chicken stewed with mushrooms!
I brought back a lot of things this time, but there was nothing I could do about it, Master Hunyun. After only five minutes of climbing up the mountain, he floated up to Xuanwei.
The gate is wide open, and it seems to be quite lively inside. Are there any guests?
When Hunyun walked in, they were all acquaintances, Lin Xuxu, Li Jiaqi, and Liu Shuyuan from the street office.
"Hello, Chief Taoist!"
Seeing Hunyun walking in, they all turned to say hello to him.
"It's New Year's Eve tomorrow, why haven't you gone home yet?" Hunyun knew that Lin Xuxu and Li Jiaqi were both from other places and studying in Yue. They should have gone home during the winter vacation at this time, so why are they still here.
"We will go back tomorrow. Today we specially came to visit Taoist Master Hunyun to pray for peace." Lin Xuxu said with a smile. "I just asked Taoist Master Li to do a fortune telling for me, good luck! Hehe~"
"Well, that's right. I, Junior Sister Li, am a master of divination. What she shows you will definitely be correct." Hunyun said with a smile.
His Junior Sister Li Xiaobai's special skill is divination, which is also famous in their Gan Province. He is proficient in measuring calligraphy, facial expressions, six lines, and eight trigrams. Even her apprentice is quite famous. Calculating Lin Xuxu's misfortunes is child's play.
Zhang Xinling took the things from Hunyun's hands with a wink and took them to various parts of the kitchen. Li Xiaobai was leaning leisurely on the wooden pile outside the hall, looking at a color drawing in his hand. Hunyun glanced at it from a distance. It should be their Xuanwei design drawings.
He ignored Liu Shuyuan and started chatting with Lin Xuxu and Li Jiaqi with a smile.
"Anchor Li, how many fans have you increased recently? Why isn't the broadcast starting today?"
"Hehe, it's holiday. It's a rare day off, so we won't start broadcasting." Now Li Jiaqi has enough confidence to say this.
With hundreds of thousands of fans, although it is not comparable to those big anchors, making some pocket money is no longer a problem. She is also a frequent visitor to Xuan Wei. Ever since she asked for a prayer charm, her number of fans has soared and she has become a well-known travel blogger, and she has become superstitious about him. Today, she can be regarded as his two major financial sponsors.
"Taoist Master, I have taken the liberty to come here this time to ask for two peace charms from you. I will go home tomorrow and want to ask for two peace charms for my parents at home. Please be sure to agree." Li Jiaqi prayed.
Lin Xuxu also looked forward to it. She probably had already discussed it with Li Jiaqi, and Li Jiaqi would take the lead. If Hunyun could agree, she would be able to get her wish. Hunyun naturally saw their little thoughts. But he made a rule that each person can only get one piece per month, and it cannot be sold outside, but can only be given to close relatives. Although he also wanted to sell the talisman to pay off his debt, the cause and effect was too great, and he didn't want to get too involved.
Originally, if they wanted to buy more, they would have to wait until the Spring Festival, but Hunyun thought about it and realized that they were also out of filial piety, so they agreed.
"Okay, it's still 10,000 pieces. You can choose it yourself! But even if the quota for the next two months is used up, don't make any more crooked ideas in the next two months."
"Thank you, Taoist Priest Hunyun!" The two women smiled at each other and rushed into the hall. They knew that Hunyun's talismans were all on the table, and they could just choose which one they wanted.
"Senior brother, your talismans are so cheap!" Li Xiaobai approached and said to Hunyun with a smile. "They have a very close relationship with you!"
"Well, they can be considered regular visitors to Xuanwei." Hunyun replied casually. He didn't hear the deep meaning in Li Xiaobai's words, so he answered casually. But even if he knew, he wouldn't care. After all, a man is a rational creature. Sometimes he may have some fantasies for a moment, but once his rationality returns, he will basically extinguish such fantasies. There is a big age difference between the two. Although he is divorced and has no psychological burden, if he really wants to eat this little junior sister, it is estimated that his three senior brothers will fight for him.
"Senior brother, do you know how much money Guo Kui from Hong Kong Island donated to my senior brother to get those life-saving charms?" Li Xiaobai looked at Hunyun with a smile and asked softly. But she didn't expect Hunyun's answer, so she just said it on her own. "Ten million." "And this is for the sake of my friends!"
"Well, it's not that..."
"He did it voluntarily." Li Xiaobai said. "Don't preach lightly!"
"Actually, the same goes for the talismans. Senior brother, you are not afraid of ruining the value of these talismans when you give them at such a price."
"Haha~" Hunyun was a little disapproving. The reason why he sold the talismans was also to repay the money, and his purpose was not pure in nature. If the price is too high, who will buy it and help him solve this problem?
But now, with 40,000 in his account, his financial problems can basically be solved. If he is not a destined person in the future, he probably won't be able to randomly use magic talismans.
Karma, he had already vaguely felt the involvement, and as soon as Guo Kui's name appeared, this feeling became even more intense.
Something must have happened to the Guo family!
Hong Kong Island, Mid-Levels, Guo Family Mansion. Guo Kui stood cautiously in front of the white-haired old man, as silent as a cicada, daring not to make any sound.
Standing in front of him was the head of the Guo family, his father Guo Zhentian.
"You evil beast, what kind of trouble have you done in Myanmar to provoke the head-officer?"
"Do you know who Master Hakoda is? He is a famous surrender commander in Burma. Those who oppose him in everything have gone to see the Lord of Hell. Ah! Do you think that our Guo family is like them? , was your family ruined?"
Guo Zhentian was furious. When he saw Guo Kui moving his mouth, he actually wanted to talk back, and he reprimanded angrily: "Do you think you can save our whole family by just asking for a few broken talismans from the Taoist priests in the mainland?" Life? Haha, stop having such wishful thinking!"
"Do you know that Master Huang, who was famous in Hong Kong Island ten years ago, was really a righteous man, but just to save the Liang family at that time, he ended up being fucked by Master Hakoda. Dao disappeared and his body was disabled, and his cultivation was thrown into the East China Sea." After saying that, he took out a few talismans on his body and threw them directly on Guo Kui.
"I don't want to know what stupid thing you did. You can go and apologize to him later. If he is willing to forgive you, everyone will be happy. If he is not willing, you can apologize to him yourself, but don't implicate our entire Guo family! "
Guo Kui's heart went cold and he felt sad. It’s just that the big family has always been like this, so there’s nothing more to say. "I know he has a three-thirty flight. I will go and apologize to him in person. I will never bring trouble to the family." He picked up a few talismans on the ground and stuffed them into his pocket by accident. Walk towards the door.
