The three-story merchant ship sailed quietly on the wide river, with the red and yellow-edged flag erected, embroidered with the Chinese characters "South" with flying dragons and phoenixes.
This means that this merchant ship is a merchant ship of the Southern Chamber of Commerce. Every year, various chambers of commerce will give a lot of money to local governments and local river transportation forces in order to ensure a safe journey.
As the largest chamber of commerce in the Chen Kingdom, the Southern Chamber of Commerce naturally supplies a large amount every year. At the same time, it rarely encounters any big trouble when coming and going.
Lingchu spent every day on the boat, apart from eating and sleeping normally, practicing and making wine.
Although the wine buried in Taoyuan Temple is gone, the raw materials that have not yet been brewed are still in Lingchu's storage bracelet. Some of these materials were given by the old Taoist, and some were picked by Lingchu in the unknown mountains.
It is enough to brew common spiritual rice wine and spiritual fruit wine, but I don’t know when I can brew the wine in Luotian wine recipe.
Luo Tian’s wine book was a wine book that the old Taoist left for Lingchu before he left. It was a wine book recorded on a bamboo slip. Before Lingchu opened it, the bamboo slip turned into a stream of light and disappeared into Lingchu’s eyebrows. Lingchu turned pale with fright.
Later I discovered that as long as Lingchu thought about it, the bamboo slips would appear in Lingchu's mind as if they were real.
However, for some reason, she could only see the first part of the bamboo slip, which was called Bamboo Marrow and Jade Wine.
There are three main materials.
The first is the spiritual bamboo, which started a hundred years ago. She has never seen even one spiritual bamboo, and a spiritual bamboo that started a hundred years ago.
Second, Jade Spiritual Essence, what is that? Lingchu was confused. She had been exposed to the world of cultivation for too short a time, and the Taoist had no experience in teaching disciples. Lingchu was seriously lacking in basic knowledge of the world of cultivation.
Third, Leng Jade Spring Water, she knew the spring water, but what was Leng Jade Spring Water? Spring water dripping from cold jade? Or soaked in the spring water of Leng Yu?
Not to mention some other auxiliary ingredients, Lingchu's head was extremely big at first glance.
Thinking of this, Lingchu sighed deeply and his face fell quite a bit.
Qian Duojin, who was eating with him at the table next to him, had been paying attention to the little fairy's movements. When he heard the sigh and saw his face, he felt a little nervous for a moment. What's wrong? Doesn’t the little fairy like to eat delicious food the most? Today's Songxi mandarin fish is a famous delicacy nearby, and it is rare because it is difficult to catch.
"Little fairy? What's wrong, but this fish is not to your liking?" Qian Duojin asked anxiously. He had been serving it carefully for several days, but he couldn't let it slip at the critical moment.
The cook who had been standing next to her also became nervous. Her neatly trimmed and round nails were tightly gripping her washed white apron, and drops of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
The master has repeatedly warned me to give full play to my cooking skills and never make any mistakes. This little girl is a legendary fairy and cannot offend even the master.
ah? Lingchu came back to his senses and saw the nervous and anxious expressions of Qian Duojin and the cook. He immediately realized that it was his melancholy mood because Luo Tianjiu recipe was out of reach, which made them mistakenly think that he did not like the meal.
"No, I just thought of something and felt a little emotional for a moment." Lingchu smiled and shook his head, saying that it was nothing serious. "This fish fillet porridge tastes great. It not only retains the tenderness and smoothness of the fish, but also It has the fragrance of rice, and the salty taste is just right. Moreover, this fish fillet does not have a fishy smell, but has a slight sweetness, which is really rare."
This fish is indeed good. You must know that as a monk, Lingchu has sensitive five senses and his sense of taste is naturally much better than that of ordinary people. Under such circumstances, it is rare that this fish does not even have a fishy smell.
The smile on Lingchu's face was sincere, and inexplicably made people feel soft and close. Even the cunning Qian Duojin smiled unconsciously, let alone the cook.
"As long as the little fairy likes it, it's fine. The Songxi mandarin fish only exists in these two months every year, and it likes to live in places with fast currents and clear water. It's really hard to catch. The little woman has only cooked it twice." When the cook saw the little fairy smiling, she immediately felt much more relaxed and dared to interrupt and say a few more words.
She has seen the little fairy several times in the past few days, but she has never seen the fairy, but... the cook secretly raised her head and took a look at the appearance of the little fairy.
So lovely.
The skin is white and tender, whiter than the white jade she has seen that the master offered as a treasure, and the small mouth is rosy. It is obvious that there are two eyes and one mouth, but the little fairy makes people feel particularly beautiful just looking at it. Comfortable, he is obviously no more than ten years old, but when he looks over with a pair of eyes, even if he is smiling, it makes people afraid to look directly at him.
Just by looking at his appearance, even the cook would believe him if he said he was a god.
Qian Duojin spent more time with Lingchu and knew that Lingchu had a gentle personality, which was different from the aloof monks in the legend, so he was not angry at the cook's interruption. Instead, he happily agreed, but said The most delicious is the plate of crispy lotus root.
It is said to be freshly caught tender lotus root, crispy and sweet.
After the meal, Qian Duojin did not leave immediately, but smiled and extended an invitation to Lingchu, "The merchant ship will stay at Suyang Wharf for one day today, mainly to replenish the fresh water and fresh food on the ship, and also to disembark the people on the ship. When you get a chance to rest on land, the little fairy might as well get off the boat and go to Suyang City for a stroll."
"Su Yangcheng?" The road Lingchu took south was not the same as the road Uncle He took her to Taoyuan Temple. She had indeed never been to Su Yangcheng, nor had she heard of it.
"Although Suyang City is only a small place, it is rich in pearls. There are many people who come here to hunt for pearls every year. The little gods can go and have a look. You may not find any pearls you like." Qian Duojin introduced with a smile.
Lingchu was not interested in pearls, but after staying on the ship for so many days, she did feel a little bored. She might as well get off the ship and take a walk.
Seeing Lingchu's intention, Qian Duojin hesitated for a moment and then said, "But, little immortal, please don't go to the Evil Dragon Lake."
Dragon Lake.
Judging from the name, it doesn't seem like a good place.
"There is a large lake outside Suyang City, which is surrounded by heavy fog all year round. It is said that there is an evil dragon living in it, which often makes trouble. People who go there will never come out as long as they enter the lake, and the locals avoid it. "
How could there be a dragon?
Lingchu heard an old Taoist say that dragons and phoenixes are top-notch divine beasts. Let alone the mortal world, in the world of cultivation, monsters with a trace of dragon and phoenix blood are rare.
However, although Lingchu didn't believe in dragons, he still accepted Qian Duojin's kindness, nodded to indicate that he understood, refused Qian Duojin's invitation to go shopping, changed his robes, and got off the boat for a walk in ordinary clothes.
Suyang City is indeed not a big place. Lingchu spent less than half a day shopping from beginning to end. He tasted the honey-stuffed meatballs recommended by local people in Suyang City and was a little disappointed because they were too sweet.
I bought a rare pink pearl and planned to give it to Huan Niang. I also gave a few shiny white pearls to Meizi and some close friends in Fuchunlou as gifts for reunion after a long absence.
When leaving the city, Lingchu was a little depressed by the sudden agitation of the people.
What's going on here? Why are everyone running towards the outside of the city gate?
