The waiter laughed when he heard this, "This snake is psychic and is born with supernatural power. To be honest, young master, I was also afraid of snakes when I was a child. When I saw a snake, my hair stood on end.
However, since I went to Liuxian Temple to worship a few times, I am not so afraid of snakes anymore. Over the years, I am now not afraid even if I sleep in the same bed with a snake. "
Bai Jun asked in surprise: "Oh? Are there such gods? Can you worship gods without fear of snakes and beasts?"
"Hey, Young Master, I don't know something. The deity in the Liuxian Temple is a first-rate figure among the gods and deities of Yushan Prefecture. He is the ancestor of snakes. If you go and pay homage to him, even if you smell the smell of the Liuxian, the snakes will not care. It will bite you.
Legend has it that Lord Yushan has practiced Taoism for thousands of years and became an immortal. He is in charge of the five great immortal families of Hu, Huang, White, Willow and Gray. He helps people in the world and punishes the good and evil in the world. Not to mention our little Qi County, which is thousands of miles away, everyone worships this. A god.
I heard from the foreign businessmen in the west that the Lord in their Yushan Mansion is called the Holy Lord. He is much more pious and more effective than us. "
Bai Jun smiled and said: "That's just in time. I'm going to Tianjun Country to visit. If I have a chance, I'll come to you and talk about the customs there."
"Hey, you're so polite, young master. How can I have such an honor?" The waiter hurriedly bent down and clasped his hands as if he was flattered.
"Haha, I just said it casually, so you don't need to take it to heart. Are you going to see if my dishes are ready?"
"Yes! Yes! Master, please wait a moment." The waiter stepped back respectfully.
Bai Yan picked up the peanut kernels on the table and put it into his mouth. He chewed it lightly and left a fragrant aroma in his mouth. The familiar taste met again after a hundred years.
I poured a cup of tea slowly, and a few young leaves floated in the slightly yellow and white mist cup, exuding a simple aroma of tea. It was not a luxury tea, but it was also a new tea in early spring, so I didn’t use old tea to deal with it. Done.
After a while, several waiters came to the table with plates of food, as well as a five-liang pot of Longliu Xianjiu.
A total of six dishes were served, three meat, two vegetarian and one soup. Each dish looked exquisite, delicious and extremely tempting.
People in this era do not just put the dishes on the table when it comes to serving and eating. Every waiter must be proficient in memorizing the name of each dish, the ingredients used in the dish, its characteristics, and even the allusions behind the dish. The guests introduce the rich history behind their dishes.
Of course, small restaurants and poor people don’t have these particularities when it comes to eating.
A rather clever waiter smiled and said: "Sir, this dish is called stir-fried gardenias. Our chef retains the fragrance of gardenias in every petal and leaf. You can keep it when you eat it. The mouth and tongue are stimulated, and it is still cold in early spring. This dish can clear the lungs and relieve coughs, but it is too sparse for Yang Qi, so it can be called an appetizer and should not be eaten in large quantities."
With that said, he hurriedly placed this dish in front of Bai Jun and served him.
Bai Jun prepared to taste it with great interest. He raised his hand and picked up the chopsticks. He was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he had not held chopsticks for hundreds of years. He just recalled it and finally regained the feeling. He picked up a gardenia leaf and put it into his mouth. , it is really fragrant and refreshing.
"good."
The waiter felt relieved and said with a smile: "Sir, this Deyuetong Chicken is one of our Deyuelou's signature dishes. Braised chicken, topped with flower honey and five-bean sauce, it is sweet but not greasy. It’s fragrant but not overpowering, with both color and flavor. No one comes to our Deyuelou without ordering this delicious dish. Try it, if you like spicy food, you can season it with vinegar and chili pepper, and you’ll be sure to enjoy it as soon as you eat it.”
Bai Jun smiled and said, "Is it really so delicious?"
He picked up a piece of braised chicken and put it into his mouth. The perfect combination of sweetness and saltiness filled his taste buds. The tender meat filled his touch, and the light mustard taste combined with it turned out to be just the right amount of deliciousness.
Bai Jun nodded, "It's really good." As he said that, he took another chopstick and put it into his mouth, with a slightly satisfied look on his face.
“Sure enough, the only thing you can’t live up to is delicious food.”
The waiter smiled and said: "Young Master Yaxing, it would be even better if it is paired with this Xi Shi Nong Yue..."
With the waiter's explanation, after finishing a few dishes, Bai Jin had already eaten, which made him feel happy physically and mentally. He drank some light aromatic wine, which smelled like incense, but the taste was still good. It was not as hot and spicy as later generations of white wine. It warms the whole body when it goes down, and leaves a fragrant aroma in the mouth, which is almost as sweet as fruit wine but I can't tell what kind of fruit it is.
It seems that human beings in this world are really very intelligent. Even if they don't have earth-shattering magical powers, they still have ingenious wisdom.
While eating the food and wine, he looked at the passers-by downstairs and felt like he was in the world of mortals.
Pursuing the Tao and refining the heart is meticulous. It does not mean that you have to experience the great fear between life and death to refining the heart. The real refining of the heart is to refining the heart in the rolling world of mortals.
His practice is now in the human world. To practice Taoism, you can meditate and practice anywhere by looking at the moon. The accumulation of magic power takes thousands of years, and the results are far from being achieved in a short time.
Therefore, in the mortal world, in the rivers and lakes, in the mountains, it does not have much influence on practice.
Bai Yan was thinking about buying more wine to warm himself up on the way, so that he would not fall asleep when the cold wind blew. Once he was in that state, he would not want to walk, but would choose to fly directly over.
Downstairs, a group of Jianghu people with horses and swords entered the second floor of Deyue Building. After looking around the building, they found that Bai Jun was the only one, so he chose a far away place to sit down and ordered the waiter to serve good wine and food.
There were seven people in the group, five men and two women. A middle-aged man with a sword at his waist had bulging temples. His steps were light and he obviously had a lot of inner strength. Beside him were two young male disciples in their twenties and a handsome boy. A pretty female disciple.
Sitting opposite the middle-aged man was a martial arts man who looked like a Taoist priest, an old man with a rather immortal air, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and a little girl of about ten years old.
The old Taoist priest chuckled and asked, "Master Zuo, how long do we have to go?"
The middle-aged man who was called Zuo Jushi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Taoist Master, this place is still hundreds of miles away from the small country of Tianjun. Even if we work hard, it will still take eight or nine days.
But don't worry, legend has it that there are strange beasts guarding the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. The leader of the Feihua Sect, the largest sect in Mingzhou, invites people from all over the world to come together to slay the monsters. If there weren't enough people, he wouldn't dare to go deep. "
"That's good. Thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is so precious. Even if you can't get this thing, there must be other spiritual herbs in the treasure land. Maybe we can make another step forward." The old Taoist priest sighed softly, not only to comfort but also to encourage.
"Taoist master, don't worry. You are an expert in Xuankong Temple. Who doesn't know anyone in the world? You will definitely be a part of it when the time comes." The woman behind Zuo Shi said with a smile.
"Yes, junior sister is right."
"Yes, Taoist priest, don't worry."
Zuo Jushi's two disciples also hurriedly echoed.
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said with a smile: "The Six Swords of the River by Master Zuo has reached the state of perfection. He is a master among the first-class masters, and a poor Taoist can't compare with it."
While a few people were chatting and laughing, the waiter had already served the food, serving them a table full of good wine and good food.
Bai Jun had eaten and drank enough, and heard the gossip, so he called out: "Waiter, it's time to pay."
"Hey, guest, here you come! Here you come!"
A waiter whose status was obviously higher than the others came forward, smiled and moved the beads on the abacus, and said: "Sir, the dishes you ordered include stir-fried gardenias, Deyuetong chicken... the total is Five taels and two cents.”
Bai Jun nodded, this number was already quite a lot for ordinary people. "Give me another twenty kilograms, no, thirty kilograms, give me thirty kilograms of Longliu Immortal Wine."
"Ah? Thirty kilograms? This..." The waiter stuttered and said with a smile, "Sir, this is too much, isn't it? You can't drink so much by yourself?"
Bai Jin took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeves and weighed the weight, "Twelve taels, is that enough?"
The waiter is an honest man. He stammered for a moment and was pushed away by the shopkeeper who rushed over after hearing the sound. The fat shopkeeper smiled apologetically and said: "That's enough, that's enough. You're so generous. The shop will prepare some for you right now." liquor.
Where do you live? I will send it to your door later. "
Bai Jun shook his head, "I'm not a local, just put it in a big jar for me."
"Hey, okay, okay. Sit down and wait. I'll prepare some wine for you."
The shopkeeper immediately ordered the waiter to go to the kitchen to bring wine.
Bai Jun's actions attracted the attention of the gang of Jianghu people. The little girl looked at Bai Jun curiously, but the handsome chivalrous woman couldn't stop her eyes from stealing glances. She had never seen such a handsome and refined man when she first entered the Jianghu. ? I couldn't help but take a closer look.
But Zuo Jushi asked curiously: "Why is there a drinking restriction here? How can you buy thirty kilograms of good wine in one go?"
After hearing this, the waiter at the first plate explained: "Your Majesty, you don't know. What we sell is Longliu Immortal Wine. Naturally, it is not subject to the government's wine restrictions. If you buy other wines, they will still be restricted."
"I see!"
The old Taoist smiled and looked up at Bai Jun, his heart skipped a beat. The young man in front of him had such a refined temperament. He had only seen this kind of temperament in his great master when he was young, and his great master was an innate master who once retired from the world and lived for a full two hundred years.
The man in front of him looked about nineteen or twenty years old, which was completely different from the old man of his great master.
The old Taoist stood up, smiled and said to Bai Jun: "This young master, a poor Taoist named Xuan Kong Guan Kongshan, is very polite."
Bai Jun smiled, put his hands behind his back, nodded slightly, and said, "The person from the lower reaches, Bai Jun, Taoist priest, please be polite."
Kongshan Taoist said: "When I met the young master today, I felt that he looked like an old friend. I would like to ask, where does the young master live?"
