In ancient times, the weather was very cold.
People have limited means and clothing to keep warm.
There is no heating or anything like that.
Therefore, during the cold weather season, people always like to gather around the stove to eat, and eat immediately after cooking. They are worried that it will get cold if they eat too slowly.
Jin An remembered that the method of eating hot pot had been invented as early as the Three Kingdoms period.
It has a history of thousands of years.
Su Shi handed down a poem -
Friends held a banquet at Qingyun Tower, with delicious food and wine.
The glasses were poured out, and the stone lions in front of the door were drooling.
It's about having hot pot together at this party.
…
Because it took a long time to wait for the old Taoist priest.
So when the two of them arrived at the store, it was already a moment after Youshi.
If you can still eat for half an hour, there will be a curfew.
Jin An and the old Taoist priest came to the mutton hot pot restaurant last time because the hot pot base was in line with their taste.
This century-old store is also famous in Chang County.
It's called a century-old store.
And this century-old shop is located near Man Mo Temple.
Unexpectedly, as they were just in time for dinner, as soon as the two entered the store, they found that the store was already full, including local diners and foreign tourists who came to Chang County to participate in the Qingming Temple Fair.
This made the old Taoist priest furious.
He has always been thinking about making hotpot with mutton, and pairing it with a pot of warm wine. The taste is better than being a god, and he would not exchange it for the official position of a god in heaven.
But you told him there was no room?
It's rare to see my little brother in a good mood today, so I treat him to a mutton hotpot.
Who knows, after missing today, next time, next time, next time, wait until the little brother is in a good mood, and ask him to make hot pot, will it have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse?
The old Taoist priest was unwilling to give in. After the waiter turned around and was busy greeting the customers, he looked at Jin An pitifully: "Little brother, the curfew is coming soon. Taoist, I think it's better to just switch to another restaurant?"
Jin'an looked at the old Taoist priest and almost got angry at the corners of his mouth. Naturally, he could see through the little thoughts in the old Taoist priest's heart at a glance. He didn't find out, but he just felt that the old Taoist priest was sometimes very understanding of the world, and sometimes he was sober. Like an old naughty boy.
Jin An saw that there was indeed no room in the store, and when he turned around to leave, in the noisy lobby with diners, someone seemed to be calling his name from behind.
"Little brother, I seem to hear someone calling you?"
In fact, Jin An had already heard it without the old Taoist reminding him. He was curious that he didn't know many people in Chang County. Which acquaintance was calling him? Could it be Feng Baotou? So, Jin An turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
When he saw one of the tables leaning against the railing, Jin An grinned at the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist, it seems that our position has been secured."
"Mr. Xianyu, I didn't expect to see Mr. Xianyu here today."
"Young Master Jin'an, I haven't seen you for half a month. I hope you are well."
The person who greeted Jin An was a sword-wielding and elegant Confucian scholar with red lips, white teeth, and heroic features.
Confucian scholars are different from scholars.
In fact, it is very simple to distinguish.
Bai Wuyi is a scholar, he only knows how to play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and drink wine.
Confucian scholars must learn the six arts of "ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics", travel around the world, kill enemies on the battlefield, and have awe-inspiring beliefs.
Beside the Confucian scholar, there was an old man.
When the old man saw Jin An, he also nodded friendly towards Jin An, which showed that they were all acquaintances.
The Confucian scholar with red lips and white teeth in front of him was the same Confucian scholar who had traveled around the world and the old man driving the carriage that night when Taoist Taoist Wu Zang showed him the way to the Immortal.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Jin An, Mr. Jin An also comes to eat hot pot at this century-old restaurant with his friends? If Mr. Jin An is worried about not having a seat, you can share a table if you don't mind."
Young Master Xianyu, with red lips and white teeth, pointed to Jin An and said with a gentle smile.
Jin An thanked him and sat down. He had already secretly swallowed his saliva. The impatient old Taoist priest also sat down quickly.
"It's been almost a month since we last parted. I didn't expect Mr. Xianyu to still stay in Chang County. I thought that after so many days, Mr. Xianyu had already left Chang County."
Mr. Xianyu was gentle and straightforward. He took a sip of warm wine and said with a smile: "I heard that the Qingming Temple Fair in Chang County is approaching, so Qibo and I planned to see the grand annual Qingming Temple Fair in Chang County before continuing to travel around the world. A journey through famous mountains and great rivers.”
"If we talk about this month, Mr. Jin'an's reputation in Chang County has spread throughout the streets and alleys, and his reputation has become famous."
"In less than a month, Mr. Jin An has solved several strange cases, including the 'Thunder God's Corpse Killing Case' and the 'Drowning Case'. Not long ago, I heard that Mr. Jin An was carrying the coffin of a white coffin occupying a magpie's nest. The sinister coffin that no one else could carry was carried by Mr. Jin An. This Taoist must be the Taoist Master Chen who presided over the coffin-moving ceremony for the Lin family that day, right?"
At this time, the old Taoist priest, who had just finished ordering the menu with the waiter, suddenly became energetic when he heard someone from the other side mentioning him.
My friend, you have to mention this to me.
The old Han, who has been familiar with me for many years, no longer has any pain in his legs.
The old Taoist priest, as if he was a Taoist master, sat upright, stroked his beard, nodded and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Xianyu is a good friend of my little brother, why don't you let me, the old Taoist, do a fortune telling for Mr. Xianyu for free? I, the old Taoist, have a strong tongue and copper teeth. The God of Calculation knows astronomy from the top, geography from the bottom, logic from the middle, and understanding of human principles. If you can’t calculate accurately, you don’t need money.”
Jin An: "..."
Mr. Xianyu: "..."
Jin An felt that the old Taoist priest was embarrassing him.
As soon as I hear this line, I feel like a gangster.
Mr. Xianyu did not show any strange expression in person, but said politely: "Forget it, I don't believe in fate."
"Why don't you, Master Chen, help me look at my face?"
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he really looked at the other person's face carefully.
"Young Master Xianyu's Yintang is golden. Looking at Young Master Xianyu's attire as a scholar, it shows that Young Master Xianyu is a man of real ability and hard work. He is not one of those rotten scholars who dress up casually with only false appearances."
"Master Xianyu has a plump chin and a prosperous palace of wealth and silk, which shows that his family is well-off, with no shortage of land, houses, and gold and silver. He has had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and his family has been fed by officials."
"Mr. Xianyu, a peach blossom has appeared in your palace of husband and wife. You will have good luck with peach blossoms in the near future, and you will meet the person you like the most in your life. And this peach blossom is blooming twice now, which means that Mr. Xianyu has already I met the person of my destiny and formed a good relationship, and we will meet again in the near future."
"The old Taoist sees that the love fortune in Mr. Xianyu's Couple Palace is getting more and more prosperous, and gradually affects the nearby Life Palace, Baoshou Palace, and Migration Palace. It shows that the other party is not only the person that Mr. Xianyu likes, but also the one who is destined to be noble. Although he will meet Even in the face of disasters, we can turn them into good fortunes, and step by step, we can make all our dreams come true and achieve higher achievements."
The words of the old Taoist priest were always saying good things to praise others.
As the saying goes, good words are pleasing to the ear.
This is very consistent with human psychology.
Both Mr. Xianyu and Jin An listened and laughed at what the old Taoist said, but no one took it seriously.
At this moment, several plates of mutton-boiled meat ordered by the old Taoist priest were brought to the table by the waiter, and the group hurriedly started to cook the mutton-boiled meat.
The old Taoist priest, who was originally scrupulous and still hesitant before he finished speaking, took away a large piece of mutton when he saw the younger brother. He was worried that his hands were too slow and the mutton would be gone after a while. He was originally hesitant to take it. Don't be interrupted, he rolled up the sleeves of his Taoist robe and competed with Jin An for the mutton.
