"Look, you give this bamboo board to your kitchen, and the kitchen will make things based on this bamboo board, and then put the cooked things in different bowls. I think your snack bar only has a few prices. Separate the bowls by price or by item. When the guest leaves, you can charge according to the bowl on the guest's table. This way, you won't make a mistake or offend the customer. What do you think?"
"This method is good, this method is good, thank you sir, may I know your name? I really remember who gave me this idea."
"This is our Fasheng, Chen Fasheng." The eldest brother interjected from the side.
"Chen Fasheng, is this the same Chen Fasheng who wrote "The Theory of Nineteen Paths"?"
"That's right. The shopkeeper has also heard of "Nineteen Paths"?" The eldest brother simply took over.
"Yes, my little girl loves Go. During this time, she is studying the nineteen-way chess method. If someone can count all the stars in the sky, it will inform the chess position. She also said that studying this method will be of great help to the astrology. Go should be born with ten Jiulu, these days, she has been nagging your name a lot, saying that you are a genius and if you learn astrology, you will definitely achieve great things."
This person seems to be a loyal fan of Chen Fan. Unexpectedly, the theory of Nineteen Paths has been spread. Chen Fan was happy when he heard it, but also a little surprised. Could it be that someone really combined Go with astrology? This kind of astrology is not something that ordinary people can learn. The main reason is that they cannot understand it. Chen Fan himself has no intention of learning astrology. He feels that the secrets of heaven are elusive and cannot be mastered by himself. He replied: "These nineteen ways are just personal opinions. Take it out." Let’s discuss it with everyone. It’s good if you have someone you like. The shopkeeper just mentioned astrology, but I’ve heard that Baiyun Temple’s cloud and water arithmetic is famous, but I’ve never heard of astrology?”
"Oh, I don't know the specifics. I just heard my daughter say this, but my daughter does not seek Taoism in Baiyun Temple, but practices in Sanqing Temple."
Chen Fan had never heard of the Three Purities Temple, but it was not easy to think of a Taoist temple named after the Three Purities. At that moment, he suppressed his inquiring thoughts and said: "Shopkeeper, first bring me a bowl of wontons, and then a basket of small steamed buns. Let's see what we are going to eat. Let's sit down and chat while eating."
"Yes, let's chat while we eat." The shopkeeper took off two signs and answered.
The eldest brother looked at Chen Fan, smiled, and asked everyone to order something.
Chen Fan sat down by himself and saw that Xiao Qing was still standing and said, "A Qing, come and sit down after ordering."
"Yeah." Xiao Qing nodded, walked over and sat down.
"Have you ever heard of Sanqing Guan?" Chen Fan asked casually.
"No, this is the first I've heard of it."
"Me too, but to be named after Sanqing is extraordinary."
"That's not necessarily the case." After ordering and eating, the elder brother came over. The elder brother who always liked to oppose Chen Fan finally got the opportunity today and interjected, "There are so many people selling sheep's meat to others. , you haven’t even seen the Taoist temple’s appearance, how can you be sure it’s extraordinary just by hearing its name?”
Chen Fan rolled his eyes at the eldest brother and thought to himself, you have a low emotional intelligence. You are eating in a shop where the shopkeeper’s daughter is practicing Taoism at Sanqing Temple. If you don’t find something nice to say to the shopkeeper first, let the shopkeeper talk to you. Happy, I'll make things better for you, why are you still saying bad things and looking for trouble? Regardless of whether this is ordinary or extraordinary, you must first speak from a high place! It was hard to ignore the elder brother at the moment. The shopkeeper was still nearby. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said: "Brother, this Sanqing is the highest deity enshrined by the Taoist sect. The inheritance of this Taoist temple is generally related to the deity enshrined. Therefore it should be extraordinary.”
"Baiyun Temple enshrines the Three Pure Ones, but it is not called Sanqing Temple. This Sanqing Temple may not be dedicated to the Three Pure Ones, otherwise why wouldn't it be famous?"
I have to say that there is some truth to what the elder brother said. If it were not for this store, Chen Fan would definitely not answer the call. But now, Chen Fan felt that he still had to say a few words, "The shopkeeper just said that her daughter is learning astrology. This Astrology is not something that ordinary Taoist temples can teach. Some Taoist temples are low-key and not famous, but they have a long tradition. Whether a Taoist temple is extraordinary or not mainly depends on what it can learn."
The eldest brother may have realized that the shopkeeper was nearby and was talking about the place where his daughter practiced Taoism. He smiled and said, "I'm just saying don't jump to conclusions based on the name. I'm not saying that this Taoist temple is not good. If you say Fasheng is extraordinary, there will always be a certain amount of it." It makes sense.”
"Ignoring the fact that this woman is extraordinary, Qingpu Town is really a good place. There are two colleges, Tianshui College and Qiandao College. After eating later, we will go shopping." Seeing that the elder brother was a little embarrassed, Chen Fan thought it was a bit funny, so he Opened the topic.
"Chen Langjun, your wontons are ready. How do they taste? The steamed dumplings will have to wait a moment." The shopkeeper paused and then said, "We have not just two colleges, but three. Suokun Taoist Temple is run by Sanqing Temple and only admits female disciples. It is next to Qian Taoist Temple, but its main gate is on the West Street, while the main gate of Qian Taoist Institute is on the south."
"Oh, did your daughter go to Kun Dao Temple and now go to Sanqing Temple?" Chen Fan asked curiously.
"Exactly, but my daughter has not officially entered Sanqing Temple yet. She just graduated from Kun Taoist Academy this year. I originally wanted her to get married, but she insisted on going to Sanqing Temple to practice Taoism, so I had to let her do it."
"Your daughter seems to be qualified to practice Taoism, and there is no prohibition on marrying in Taoism. It's just that it will be later. If she wants to learn it, let her learn it."
"We also think so. This Kun Dao Academy is very strict in recruiting disciples. It only recruits twenty disciples every year. It is even more strict when going to Sanqing Temple. Those who are not talented are not allowed. This year, only five disciples are recruited from Kun Dao Academy. , my daughter also has some talent in astrology, and was valued by the audience for recruitment." The shopkeeper said with a bit of pride.
"Do you know where to study? Girls should be careful when going out. It's not good if the place is too far away." Chen Fan gradually became curious about Sanqing Temple and wanted to take the opportunity to find out the address.
"I heard it's not far, but my daughter didn't mention the location."
"You still have to ask clearly. After all, I am going out alone. If something happens, I will have somewhere to look for."
"Oh, it doesn't matter. My daughter said that if anything happens, she should go to Kun Daoyuan and someone will naturally notify her."
It seems that this Sanqing Temple is quite mysterious. It is not the same as Baiyun Temple. It is on some island, or maybe it is in the same place? In the Qian and Kun Taoist Academy, Chen Fan felt more and more that the Three Purities Temple was extraordinary, but he did not continue to ask more questions. Firstly, the shopkeeper’s knowledge was limited, and secondly, the quality of the Three Purities Temple had little to do with him. He would ask again if he had the opportunity in the future. Not too late, he immediately said: "That's good, as long as there is a place to look for it. I think Kun Dao Temple is local and can't escape. Your daughter seems to be very independent, so why not just follow her."
"Yes, sometimes we talk too much and she may not listen, so just let her go." The shopkeeper sighed and went backstage to bring out the cooked snacks.
"Chen Langjun, this is your Xiao Long Bao. In addition, this is braised pork head. My daughter likes to eat it. You should also try it. This is a gift from the shop and there is no charge."
"Then I'm sorry, let's leave it to your daughter." Chen Fan was a little embarrassed to eat for nothing, but the bowl of braised pork brought by the shopkeeper was full of aroma, and Chen Fan wanted to try it.
"You're welcome, leave it for her. She will be very happy if she hears that Mr. Chen is eating in the shop today."
"Okay, thank you so much, shopkeeper." Chen Fan picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. It was sweet, a little sticky, and very tender and fragrant in his mouth. "It's so delicious!" Chen Fan sincerely praised it. road.
"Just eat if you like. Whenever Mr. Lang comes, let me know in advance and I will prepare some for you."
"Okay, thank you so much, shopkeeper. I'm about to start school, and I'm going to Suzhou the day after tomorrow to study Taoism. It may take a long time before I can taste the shopkeeper's craftsmanship."
"Really? My daughter is going out to study Taoism the day after tomorrow. How about tomorrow? I'll prepare another one for Mr. Wang tomorrow. How about it?"
"Okay, today the shopkeeper doesn't charge for it, but he has to charge for it tomorrow, otherwise I won't want it."
"No need for that, I also want to thank Lang Jun for the idea."
"I've thanked you for the idea today. Hou Feng, I paid fifty cents to the shopkeeper as a deposit."
"Yes, Langjun."
"Not so much."
"Shopkeeper, just accept it and prepare more for me. I can ask my mother and the others to try it too."
"Okay, you're welcome then. When will Mr. Lang come tomorrow?"
"How about I send someone to pick it up at this time tomorrow?"
"Why don't you come to the shop to sit down?" the shopkeeper said a little disappointed.
"The shopkeeper's wontons are really delicious. Okay, if I have time, I will come over. Not only will I get the braised pork, but I will also continue to eat a bowl of the shopkeeper's wontons." Chen Fan actually wanted to find a chance to meet the shopkeeper's daughter. This female crown from Sanqingguan saw the shopkeeper's warm invitation and agreed.
"Okay, I will prepare it for you tomorrow."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. It's an honor for the shop that Mr. Lang can come."
"You're welcome, shopkeeper. This braised pork is really delicious. Can I invite my companions to try it too?"
"Of course, I'll give this to you. You can do whatever you want with me. I'll go greet the guests and you can do it yourself."
"Okay, you're busy." Chen Fan nodded and saw the shopkeeper going to greet a scribe who had just come in. He immediately said to Xiao Qing, "Qing, you can try it too." Then he distributed it to everyone.
