Vulcan view.
People continue to come to offer incense and pray for blessings.
Qin Luo helped in the Taoist temple. He and Gu Changsheng sat at the table to answer questions for the people.
A middle-aged man in golden clothes came to Qin Luo and said respectfully: "Master Immortal, can you help me tell my fortune?"
Qin Luo shook his head, "I don't know how to tell fortunes."
The middle-aged man in Jinyi looked at Qin Luo in surprise. Even the Taoist priest on the roadside could tell fortunes. The young Taoist priest in front of him actually said that he couldn't tell fortunes.
Gu Changsheng said with a serious face: "There are times in life that must be met, but there are no times in life. Don't force it. If you pray sincerely, the God of Fire will naturally bless you."
"Okay, okay."
The middle-aged Jinyi suddenly realized.
Qin Luo doesn't like fortune telling, whether it's for others or for himself, knowing the future would make life boring.
The old woman wearing old clothes walked into the Fire God Temple with a cane. She walked up to Qin Luo and bowed with awe in her eyes, "Master Immortal, my grandson has been having nightmares every day recently and is often sick. I don't know if it's because of him." If you find something unclean, I would like to come and ask for a talisman."
"OK."
Qin Luo agreed with a smile.
"Master Immortal, how much does it cost to draw a talisman?"
"Two cents."
Qin Luo had a kind smile on his face. He took out the exorcism charm he had drawn before and handed it to the old woman.
"If it doesn't work, you can come to Vulcan Temple to find me. If I'm not here, you can find my senior brother."
The old woman took out the copper plates tightly wrapped in a handkerchief from her pocket. He took out two copper plates and handed them to Qin Luo, with gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you, Master Immortal, thank you Master Immortal."
"You're welcome, please walk slowly."
Qin Luo chuckled.
After the old woman walked away, Gu Changsheng reminded: "Junior brother, you have been in Longhu Temple for so long, and you still haven't figured it out. The easier it is, the less you will cherish it. The candy she bought for her grandson cost more than two cents. "
"That's what senior brother said."
Qin Luo understood what his senior brother meant.
Gu Changsheng raised his eyebrows, "Junior brother, can you give me two boxes of these exorcism talismans?"
"One hundred taels per piece."
"Hahaha."
Qin Luo and Gu Changsheng looked at each other and smiled.
Xiaotuanzi sat on Qin Luo's shoulder. She grinned at Gu Changsheng, showing her white teeth, "Big brother, can I chop a bamboo?"
"It's just a piece of bamboo, you can chop it as you like."
"Thank you, big brother."
Xiaotuanzi jumped into the air and said with a sweet smile: "Stone, come and help me chop bamboo."
Shitou looked at Qin Luo.
Qin Luo smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."
Seeing that Qin Luo agreed, Shitou followed Xiaotuanzi to the backyard of the Taoist temple, where many bamboos were planted.
Xiaotuanzi broke the golden scissors into two long knives, and swung them out several times. A bamboo was split into several pieces, and Shitou was dumbfounded.
"Stone, come and help me peel the bamboo sticks."
"Okay."
Xiaotuanzi handed Shi Shi a long golden knife, "You have to be careful, this knife is very sharp."
"I will be careful."
Shitou nodded heavily, and they sat on the ground whittling bamboo sticks. Xiaotuanzi raised his eyebrows, "Follow Sister Tuanzi to make money, and you will be popular and drink spicy food from now on."
"Uh-huh."
Shitou grinned.
The incense at the Vulcan Temple is very good.
Until late at night, the Taoist temple was deserted.
Gu Changsheng said with a smile: "Yao Cheng, go to Xiangmanlou to buy two kilograms of good wine, and come back with some signature dishes."
"Master, is it still pending?"
Yao Cheng asked.
Gu Changsheng nodded.
Qin Luo and the others came to the backyard of the Taoist temple and saw piles of bamboo sticks.
Gu Changsheng was a little at a loss, "Little guy, why are you cutting so many bamboo sticks?"
"Hey, I want to sell roasted bugs! I want to make money!" Xiaotuanzi raised his head proudly.
Gu Changsheng was amused by her idea, "If you make any money, you should give me half of it."
"Why?"
Xiaotuanzi tilted his little head.
Gu Changsheng coughed and said, "This is my bamboo."
Xiaotuanzi's hair stood up, and she pouted and said, "If I had known better, I wouldn't be greedy for cheap. Anyway, I have to go outside the city to catch bugs, so I might as well go outside the city to chop bamboo."
Gu Changsheng laughed loudly, "Little guy, I was just joking with you. Pindao is not interested in money."
"I knew it."
Xiaotuanzi put his hands on his hips proudly.
Soon after, Yao Cheng came back with a food box, opened it, and the aroma wafted out.
There are braised elbows, braised pork ribs, braised prawns, sweet and sour fish, and a three-fresh meatball soup. Gu Changsheng looked at the dishes and nodded with satisfaction, "Junior brother, while Master is away, we must have more tonight. Have two drinks.”
Qin Luo smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Gu Changsheng poured wine for Qin Luo.
When Xiaotuanzi smelled the fragrance, she put down what she was doing, squatted on the table, and winked playfully, "Big brother, can you let me eat meat?"
Gu Changsheng smiled and joked: "Then can you give me a share of the money you make in the future?"
"That's for sure."
Xiaotuanzi sat cross-legged and nodded.
Gu Changsheng nodded with satisfaction, "Okay."
Qin Luo had a smile in his eyes. Although Xiaotuanzi was naughty, he was very smart.
"Stone, come and eat."
Qin Luo shouted, and when Shitou heard it, he immediately came to sit next to him.
Xiaotuanzi was not polite and directly tied the balls with bamboo skewers. She nodded while eating, "It's so delicious. It's better in the city."
Qin Luo and Gu Changsheng were drinking.
Shitou didn't see Qin Luo and the others move their chopsticks, and he didn't dare to move them either.
Yao Cheng asked with a smile: "Brother Shitou, do you want to drink porridge? I will bring you a bowl of porridge."
Shitou looked at Qin Luo habitually.
Qin Luo nodded, "Bring him a bowl of porridge."
Yao Cheng immediately brought a bowl of porridge to Shitou. Qin Luo patted Shitou's shoulder and said meaningfully: "Stone, when you make choices in the future, don't look at me. If you make a mistake, I will correct you. Don't Wait for my answer."
"Uh-huh."
Shitou nodded heavily.
Qin Luo actually wanted to encourage Shi Shi and talk to him, but he didn't give him any great principles, teach him any life experience, or establish any values. His words now may affect this child's life.
Who you want to be and how you want to live should be Shitou's choice.
Gu Changsheng picked up the chopsticks and gave Qin Luo a large piece of elbow meat. "Junior brother, eat more meat. At the Dragon and Tiger Temple, everyone is grabbing a pot of porridge, and you can't even drink the porridge."
Qin Luo smiled and said: "Senior brother, Master said that you should eat less meat."
Gu Changsheng nodded and said seriously: "Yao Cheng, did you hear what uncle said?"
"Disciple understands."
Yao Cheng nodded respectfully, burying his head in his porridge and not daring to look at the dishes on the table.
Hearing this, Shitou only drinks porridge and does not eat meat.
Qin Luo picked up a piece of braised pork ribs for Shitou, "You haven't practiced yet. When you grow, you need to eat more meat."
"Thank you, big brother."
The stone gnawed at the ribs, and he felt warm, and tears always rolled in his eyes.
Xiaotuanzi cleaned a rib and threw it away. Suan Ni suddenly jumped out. It caught the clean rib and ate the bone happily.
Gu Changsheng shaved off the meat from his elbow, then held it in his hand and said, "Peck, peck, peck."
Suanni squatted in front of him, wagging her tail happily, and Gu Changsheng smiled and threw the bones on the ground.
Shitou also threw the fleshy bones to Suanni.
Gu Changsheng and the others were all eating meat. Suan Ni could at least taste the meat. Only Yao Cheng was drinking porridge. Qin Luo couldn't help but think of his junior sister.
Qin Luo saw that there was still a piece of elbow meat on the plate. He picked it up and put it in Yao Cheng's bowl. He said with a smile: "Eat less meat. It doesn't mean you can't eat meat."
"Thank you, uncle."
Yao Cheng bowed and thanked him repeatedly.
Gu Changsheng did not stop him. He said meaningfully: "The teachings are not taught lightly, and the teachings are not sold cheaply. Your uncle gave you the Holy Book and did not treat you as an outsider. You must not be ungrateful."
"Disciple understands!"
Yao Cheng had gratitude in his eyes.
Qin Luo didn't think about getting anything in return. He picked up the wine glass and chuckled: "Brother, let me toast you."
"Dry!"
Gu Changsheng picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
After eating and drinking, Yao Cheng was responsible for cleaning the courtyard, and he poured the leftovers to Suanni.
Xiaotuanzi put all the bamboo sticks in the yard into her pocket. She was already imagining making countless money and couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
Gu Changsheng arranged a room for Qin Luo and others to rest.
Shitou lives in a room alone. The bed is very soft and there is a quilt, but it is not as warm as sleeping next to Qin Luo.
Xiaotuanzi didn't sleep.
She ran outside the city alone to catch bugs.
The next day, early morning.
Xiaotuanzi came back after catching a lot of bugs. She used bamboo sticks to skewer bamboo shoot bugs and fight rice bugs, and then she sold the roasted bugs outside the Taoist temple with stones.
In addition to meat bugs, there are also roasted centipedes and roasted scorpions. Qin Luo reminded: "You must pay attention, these poisonous bugs must be roasted."
"Okay, boss."
Xiaotuanzi grinned, and she stood on Shitou's shoulder, "Stone, meat worms cost two cents a bunch, locusts cost three cents a bunch, scorpions and centipedes cost five cents a bunch, please help me."
"Okay."
Shitou yelled vigorously: "Roasted bugs, roasted bugs that are fragrant and delicious. If they don't taste good, there's no charge."
Bang!
Xiaotuanzi hit Shitou's head and said with a serious face: "It doesn't taste good but it costs money!"
"Okay, Sister Tuanzi."
"Roasted bugs, delicious roasted bugs, the cheapest ones only cost two cents a bunch."
People came around, but many of them had never eaten roasted insects and did not dare to try it.
Xiaotuanzi came up with a good idea, "They don't dare to eat the stones. You eat them and show them."
"Good!"
Shitou picked up the roasted worms and ate them with gusto. Soon people gathered around and watched them eat the roasted worms.
A little fat man swallowed his saliva. He took out two pennies from his pocket and said, "I'll give you a bunch."
"Okay."
Shitou handed it a bunch of grilled bugs.
The little fat man ate the roasted worms, his eyes widened, "It's delicious."
Shitou handed the two copper plates to Xiaotuanzi. Xiaotuanzi picked up the copper plates and blew on them, then wiped them clean and said with a sweet smile: "Hey, I have money too."
