The Almighty Taoist of the Beautiful President

Chapter 30 Dragon Drinks the World (Eighth)

Li Changan picked up his chopsticks, ordered some drunk crab and wind chicken, and said to Shen Bingyue, "These are fresh dishes in Huaiyang cuisine. There is a saying, 'Drunk crab doesn't look at the lamp, and wind chicken doesn't stay overnight.' That means Drunken crabs have to be cooked during the day and eaten during the day, so you can’t see the lights at night. As for the wind chicken, you can’t stay overnight. These two are fresh and delicious, and they taste best when they are on the table, so eat them quickly.”

What he said made Shen Bingyue twitch her index finger and couldn't help swallowing.

"Well said, this young man seems to be a real expert." An old voice sounded from behind, but a gray-haired old lady came out slowly wrapped in an apron.

Old Chef Yang hurried over to help: "Oh, grandma, why did you come out?"

Mrs. Yang shook off her grandson's hand: "I can still walk. Speaking of which, I am healthier than ordinary young people."

This old lady has a childlike face, but she is in good spirits. Although she has small feet, she walks nimbly.She seemed to be at least ninety years old, walked all the way to the table and sat down, but looked at Li Changan intently, a little confused, and a little surprised: "Like, it really looks like..."

No one knew what her word "like" meant, only Li Changan understood.

But he didn't say anything, but separated a crab with his chopsticks, tasting the delicious food silently.

Shen Bingyue couldn't help asking: "Grandma, who are you talking about? And who are you looking like?"

The old lady rubbed her eyes: "That happened decades ago. I remember that this place was still in the French Concession. There was a Taoist priest who had dinner in our restaurant. I always remember his appearance."

Speaking of this, she raised her skinny hand and pointed at Li Changan: "This young man, I really look like that Taoist master, as if he was carved out of the same mold."

Shen Bingyue clicked her tongue: "When Jiangning still had concessions, it would have been at least seven or eighty years."

The old lady nodded: "The days pass so fast, I can't even remember the year and month. I only remember the time when the warlords were fighting."

The old cook was a little embarrassed by the side: "Grandma, why are you talking about those old things again?"

The old lady snorted: "What's the matter, you young people are only allowed to be nostalgic, but I, the old lady, are not allowed to talk about the past?"

Shen Bingyue was fascinated by this, put down her chopsticks and said with a smile: "How many years has it been? That Taoist priest only had one meal with you back then, and you have been thinking about it all the time?"

The old grandma smiled slightly, and just by this smile, one can vaguely see her demeanor back then, and she must have been a beauty when she was young.She smiled at Shen Bingyue: "I remember that Daoist, because he saved my family's life and gave us a sum of money, which made this Yang's restaurant last until today. Speaking of which, it is really our whole family. Your great benefactor."

Old Chef Yang also said beside him: "Up to now, there is still the Longevity card of that Taoist master in grandma's house, and it is incensed every year."

Shen Bingyue asked, holding her chin: "That Taoist priest, hasn't he been here since then? You don't know his name?"

The old lady sighed regretfully: "That Taoist master is a man of practice, and he has never appeared again since then, and he didn't leave a name. He only said that his surname was Li, and he was a wandering Taoist priest."

Shen Bingyue couldn't help laughing, and patted Li Changan: "Did you hear that, it has the same surname as you."

The old lady looked over again: "This gentleman is also surnamed Li? That's such a coincidence."

Li Changan had already eaten all the chicken in front of him, and there was not a single drunk crab left. Hearing this, he smiled lightly: "It's just a coincidence, it all happened so many years ago."

He said, wiping his mouth: "We're full, let's go."

Li Changan's gesture of wiping his mouth revealed the Tai Chi tattoo on his wrist. The old lady of the Yang's restaurant saw her complexion changed drastically when she saw it, and she stood up and coughed repeatedly.

The old cook was terrified: "Grandma, are you okay?"

The old lady waved her hand, but her body was trembling with excitement. At this moment, Li Changan walked over quickly, holding her with both hands.The two looked at each other, but things were different.

The old lady's voice was trembling, and only Li Changan could hear: "You are still so young, you are indeed a practitioner. I can't mistake your Tai Chi tattoo."

Li Chang'an smiled softly: "The past is gone, it's better to miss each other than to meet each other. I'm also very happy to see that you are in good health. Xiaodouer, don't keep thinking about the past."

After saying that, he let go and walked away.

Xiao Douer, this familiar and kind address made the old lady go crazy, but she understood something and did not keep Li Changan.

Over there, Shen Bingyue stood up and wanted to pay, but the grandmother hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Little girl, you can't ask for money for this meal, even if I am an old woman, I can ask for it."

Then he turned to his grandson and said, "Go to the back and get that card, it is the most honorable card, and give it to the gentleman just now."

Old Chef Yang was stunned: "Grandma, which one are you talking about, that 'Dragon Drink Supreme Card'? We only have one in our family."

"What nonsense are you kidding!" The old woman was furious: "Hurry up and get it."

Shen Bingyue was listening in a daze, but when Old Chef Yang took out the "Dragon Drink Supreme Card", she was also shocked: "Old man, could this card be the legend in the Chinese gourmet world..."

The old grandma held her little hand and said, "It's just a card. Child, please give it to the gentleman outside, and then tell him to come to my place for dinner when you are free. As long as my old lady lives for a day, You must cook for him yourself."

Shen Bingyue took the card and came out with a look of surprise on her face. Seeing Li Changan standing there lazily, she couldn't help rushing over and shouting: "What kind of luck did you have? God, the old man actually took this piece of paper. The card is for you."

As she spoke, she carefully held a card made of sandalwood. There were cloud pattern fireworks on the card, dragon gluttony, and four big characters inlaid with small pearls——Dragon Drinks the World!
