sleep on pillow

In Ganzhou City, there are two good places to go, one is the Chunfeng Garden in the north of the city, where Yingyingyanyan is so lively, it is a cave of ecstasy, this young man goes in to make sure his pockets are empty, and his crotch is also empty.

And the other is the Daoxiang Building in the center of the city.

Since Ganzhou City was called Ganzhou City, the owner of Daoxianglou Liang and his family have opened a restaurant in this city.

Decades ago, when the Daoxiang Building was still in sight, Lao Liangtou opened a small restaurant. It has been around for more than a hundred years, and the family has grown from a small restaurant to the surrounding area of ​​Gancheng The big restaurant known in the streets and alleys of fifty miles is not a miracle.

Speaking of the rise of Daoxianglou, shopkeeper Liang’s craftsmanship in his youth is indisputable. Once shopkeeper Liang had a unique skill of steaming carp, the fragrance of carp really aroused the taste buds of the surrounding gentry.

Speaking of this dish, the carp used is not an ordinary carp. If you want to say that there are hundreds of fat carp in the back mountain of Gancheng, and the carp nourished by the stream are fat and strong, but none of this is possible.

The first step for shopkeeper Liang's carp is to get the carp from the Dongting Great Lake seventy miles away on that day.

You must know that in the early years, it was rumored that the Dongting carp was full of dragon species, so the literati followed the trail, but wanted to taste the taste of the dragon's son and grandson. Although this rumor is widely spread among the people, it is right to treat it as a joke , no one takes it for real.

The material is good, and the cooking skills of the cook are even better. It is said that the shopkeeper of this dish, Liang, has to watch over the stove for an hour.

"Each fish requires a different degree of heat, and each level of fire must be carefully adjusted. If it is too hot, it will be old, and if it is too small, the meat will be impermeable." This is how this steamed carp was made.

Shopkeeper Liang had a very bad temper in his early years. He only cooked seven carps a day, not too much. If Shopkeeper Liang was in a bad mood, maybe those old gourmets queuing up to eat fish would be disappointed.

And shopkeeper Liang owns this skill, and it is even more up for grabs. Often this carp is worth a hundred taels of silver, and there is often no market for it.

When Gou Wa'er heard this statement for the first time, even though he was prepared, he was also taken aback.

One must know that this old Shen worked so hard for the first year, and it was only on New Year's Eve that he only had 15 taels of silver ingots, and these 15 taels of silver were enough for Gouwa'er's family for a whole year.

And just this steamed carp is worth the work of old Shentou's family for six or seven years, so why can't this make Gou Wa'er, a farmer, startled?

And Boss Liang has stopped cooking since he was 33 years old, and bought a piece of land in the most prosperous area of ​​the city with the soft food that he had saved over the years.

Mr. Feng Shui was also invited to set the auspicious day for laying the foundation. In less than two months, the Daoxiang Building rose from the ground and became an eye-catching building in Ganzhou City.

And this Boss Liang went to the old master in the private school with a shy face to present a specially purchased four treasures of the study, which attracted the old master to praise "a child can be taught", so he gave a letter and stamped a seal, and the shopkeeper Liang As if he had found a treasure, he hurriedly mounted the picture, and hung it up the next day to make a plaque.

It's been like this for more than ten years, and Gouwa'er and Youde were in the alley next to this restaurant, and they walked along the alley to a small door with ease.

You must know that this small gate is the place where the small workers of Daoxianglou are lazy and dump the swill, because it is not easy to balance manpower and energy to move the swill outside the city, so the shopkeeper Liang is very reluctant to the lazy behavior of the small workers below. Close one eye.

Although this place smells bad, it's really nothing to two peasant boys who spend their days looking down at chicken and duck droppings.

The two quietly pushed open the small door, Gouwaer poked his head in, looked around, but did not find anyone else, thinking it was only morning, there were not many things to do, and there was not so much kitchen waste to pile up, No one was watching, and Gouwaer tiptoed to push the door open, leading Youde to rush in quickly.

Going out from this hut is the first floor of Daoxiang Building. It is probably still early and there are not many workers. The two boys only choose to walk in the dark. Regarding the children coming to the restaurant, these helpers may not be surprised when they first saw two children, at most they complained a few words in their hearts.

The two walked along the corridor to the front of the hall, Gou Wa'er and Youde both covered their mouths and laughed, as if the two boys had never expected such an easy trick.

Before Gouwa'er and Youde came to Ganzhou City with their families, they did similar things.Either sneaking into a noodle shop or a grocery store, not for stealing, but just for fun, or because of a young heart, because there is no malicious intention, this evil thing looks a bit playful.

Before the two of them entered the lobby, Gouwaer looked around, first led Youde to the side dish room, found two trays, threw a white towel on his shoulders, and dressed up as the restaurant owner. He looks like a servant, but Gouwaer looks like a child at first glance.

Even though his mind is very shrewd, he is too thin after all, with dark and thin skin, he doesn't look like a sorority who scoops up oil and water in restaurants.On the other hand, Youde has a decent appearance. He was born tall and tall, but because of his weak constitution, his skin appeared abnormally pale, but he also looked a little porcelain, so he looked a bit bigger than his peers from a distance. If you really want to say it, it is not too much to say that you are fourteen or fifteen years old.

Gouwa'er thought for a while, then let Youde stand in front, and shrank himself in the back, so as not to be discovered by others, everything was ready, and the two filed into the hall.

The counter of Daoxianglou is located downstairs, and you can see it when you enter. There is always one of the shopkeeper Liang and his mother-in-law sitting here.

So nothing went wrong.And shopkeeper Liang also has a pair of discerning eyes, so Gouwa'er and Youde tried to break in through the main entrance a few times before, but were stopped by this white-skinned fat man, and even sneered at him, which made them very angry.

Ever since they found this small door, the two planned to come in to find out what happened. For this sneak in, the two had already trained many times in their minds.

The two entered the lobby on the second floor one after the other, just as a young guy was carrying an empty plate and went to the back kitchen. There were not many people in this huge restaurant lobby because it was not time for dinner, so the shop assistants gathered in twos and threes. Let's talk small things together occasionally, the autumn weather always makes people uncomfortable.

What's more, there are not many things going on in this building, and the shopkeeper Liang hired for ostentation, even in the peak season, can handle it with ease.

Gouwa'er and Youde leaned against the wall like other guys. Youde stood slightly in front, blocking the sight of the guys in front, while Gouwaer was watching everywhere, and the two were thinking of ways while stealing. Listening to the speeches of the guest officials closest to their table, this listened to interest.

Gou Wa'er raised his eyes and looked at the two guest officials at the table. They both looked like scholars, wearing knuckle scarves and skirt suits. They were all in blue, while the other was in earthy yellow. They don't seem to be from Gancheng, but they are travelers passing by Daoxianglou to drink a glass of beer wine in a hurry.

The Confucian scholar in blue clothes said first, "Brother Xu, I passed by the Dongting Lake on my way yesterday and saw a group of people encircling a river mouth. Guess what happened here?"

"Hey, brother Situ, it's embarrassing for you to say that, but the eight hundred miles of Dongting, apart from the story of Mrs. Yingxiang, the daughter of Emperor E, in ancient times, is the most famous rumor about the water palace in Dongting."

"However, in my opinion, this dragon is the head of the four spirits. Since ancient times, the capital has lived in the outer sea. The folks have long said that the dragon kings are in the four directions, and the inland water palace is unheard of. I am afraid that these fools directed and acted. It's a farce." The scholar surnamed Xu put down the wine glass in his hand, and said after a while.

"Brother Xu's words are wrong. You only know one thing and don't know the other. Although I originally thought the same way as Brother Xu, yesterday I saw the crowd gathering at first glance, so I ignored the congestion and squeezed in to watch the excitement, but there was a crowd inside. old man."

The old man said, "Last night he was collecting debts for the bullies in this village." Had to throw himself into the lake.I was thinking about dying. "The scholar in Tsing Yi raised his glass and took a sip when he said this.

"This is also the time when the world is going downhill. Today's sage is obsessed with the study of gods and ghosts. There are hungry people all over the country, and all kinds of local ruffians and bullies are rampant in the village. Alas, it is sad and deplorable."

"Not only that, Brother Xu, this old man was about to throw himself into the lake from the mouth of the river, when a blue light shot up into the sky from the lake, and when the blue light faded, he saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old palace maid. Pretending to be a girl, she stood in front of the old man, and asked the old man why he wanted to commit suicide."

"Is there anything else like that?"

"That's right, the old man was already disheartened at this time. Seeing that there were still people asking him before he died, he told the whole thing. Who knew that the woman had a bad temper, and she was already furious before she finished listening. She only said one sentence "Wait for me, I will come as soon as I go", and then I kicked my feet and turned into a blue light and went straight to the village."

"The mountain spirit is so strange, it only increases the laughter, this old man must have encountered a monster, right?"

"Brother Xu, listen to me before I comment. This girl came back within a short time. Once she got back to the mouth of the river, she threw a bag of things in front of the old man."

"The old man opened it and saw that it was the title deeds and fields that he had been cheated of. The girl felt sorry for the old man. After thinking about it, she took out a pearl hairpin from her bosom and gave it to the old man."

"This girl has the heart of a bodhisattva, so she doesn't look like a monster." The scholar in yellow rubbed his chin, looking a little hesitant.

"The girl turned around and was about to leave. The old man suddenly asked: 'Dare to ask the benefactor's name, the grace of saving life, I will never forget it.' But you know what the girl said." The scholar in Tsing Yi took the A folding fan waved on its own, looking quite proud.

"I don't know, brother Situ please enlighten me."

"The girl just said, 'Dongting Water Palace is the same as dragon four.' Then she disappeared. And the old man returned to the village tremblingly. Those bullies who used to run rampant in the village, the roof of their house was blown away overnight by the strong wind. , I was also inexplicably beaten, and the culprits were hung upside down on the big tree at the door one by one with ropes."

The scholar in yellow frowned and said, "According to Brother Situ, this lady in palace costume actually claims to be the Dragon Princess of Dongting Water Palace? But how can this Dragon Palace Princess do something unreasonable?"

"Exactly." The scholar in Tsing Yi closed his fan.

"This is really daring. Although this Dongting Lake has always been rich in dragon carp, after all, this carp is a fish, not a dragon. As the saying goes, dragons have nine different sons, but a dragon is a dragon. This Dongting, which is eight hundred miles away, is said to be big. Small for these dragons."

"How can those dragons who can't see the head and tail be trapped in this small pond. If a dragon wants to soar in the nine heavens and swim leisurely in the sea, how can this small Dongting be able to accommodate it." The scholar in yellow seemed to be very excited when he heard this point of view. Out of anger, the voice suddenly became louder.

"Brother Xu calm down, I thought the same as you in the next book, but later, this pearl hairpin fell into the hands of the Shangqing faction in Linwu Mountain. I wonder if Brother Xu has heard of the name of the fourth son of the Shangqing?"

"I've heard that before. These four are all scholars, and they escaped into the Shangqing sect deeply because of the darkness of the court. If you want to say that among the sects in this world, the Shangqing sect is the real famous and decent sect. It's a pity that this In the turbulent world, once you are far away from the court and in the countryside, no matter how capable a sage is, it will be somewhat light-hearted."

"He's born again, but he's not as good as Jingzi, who makes waves and can shake the Holy Majesty's decision."

"This pearl hairpin was appraised by Wang Ke, one of the four sons of the Shangqing Dynasty. It is indeed not a common thing, and the pearl inlaid on it is a high-quality pearl from the South China Sea. This high-quality pearl is unique. , if it wasn't from the Dragon Palace, I wouldn't be able to find one of them together with this big lady. From my point of view, this old man may have really seen Princess Dragon Palace."

"And this woman bears the name of Dongting Water Palace. I'm afraid this Dongting Water Palace is also a branch of the South China Sea Dragon Clan. This Water Palace does exist. Otherwise, it is thousands of miles away from the South China Sea. How can there be such a rare treasure in the world? "After the scholar in Tsing Yi finished speaking, he felt smoke coming from his throat, he took a sip of water quickly, and shook the folding fan loudly in his hand.

But Gouwa'er and Youde were a little fascinated when they heard it. The Dongting Water Palace has always been a legend circulated by the Dongting Lake.

Rumor has it that the bottom of Dongting Lake is like the four seas, and there is also a hidden water palace. The dragon tribe in the outer seas sent some dragon compatriots who committed crimes to this water palace, one for punishment and two for house arrest.

Over the years, some fishermen said that they saw these visitors from the Dragon Palace, and some said they saw Yasha patrolling the sea, with an indigo face, fangs turned out, a steel fork in his hand, and a pair of fleshy wings on his back. They can walk on waves, and make buzzing sounds when they appear on cloudy days; some people say that they saw clam fairies appearing in groups on the water, all wearing gauze clothes and gorgeous headdresses, coming on waves;

Some people also said that when fishing by the lake, they occasionally caught some fish fry. At this time, the old fish in the fishing net suddenly spoke, asking the fisherman to let these offspring survive. Said, so exhausted fishing, is to avenge my Dongting Water Palace.

As for the menacing people who made the chopped pepper carp on the dining table, after all, they will never see the fate of these disrespectful fishermen. With such a characteristic, these dragons come and go as fast as lightning, and as fast as blue light, and among them, the dragon girl is beautiful, and the dragon son is handsome, either wearing white clothes or silver armor.

But it was the first time I heard that he was in such close contact with this dragon clan, and this dragon clan stood up for him, and gave him a gift.

The two scholars in that room had finished their drinks and meals, while greeting Xiao Er to pay the bill, Gou Wa'er gave Youde a wink, it was almost lunch time, and the number of people coming to eat and drink gradually increased.

Those junior guys who were resting in twos and threes have gradually become busy. If they don't do anything now, they will be doing free work for this Daoxianglou. If they refuse, they will be ruined immediately. He can make a fuss if he doesn't do anything.

The two made a plan, and Youde and Gouwaer picked up the empty plate on the table and quickly returned to the back kitchen. Two cooks with big bellies were cooking delicious food, sweating profusely, totally ignoring the two boy.

The two quickly rummaged through the stove, but there was nothing that could be borrowed to make a big fuss, so they groped inside again. Gouwaer squatted down and was rummaging through the pile of vegetables, but saw Youde not far away. Calling him over, he sneaked in with some doubts, but saw Youde covering his mouth and laughing, and pointed to a dark room for him to check.

Gouwa'er poked his head in, but he heard croaking and chirping sounds filling the whole room, my good fellow, this is the temporary room where live poultry are kept in Daoxianglou, and this Daoxianglou always kills chickens, ducks and geese Do, this was originally another signboard of Daoxianglou, freshly killed poultry has always been loved by guests, but now this gave the two of them a chance.

Gouwa'er picked up the kitchen knife placed not far away, and with Youde's strength, he smashed it against the frame. The door was smashed into a gap by two people, and Youde's hands Each grabbed one door panel and broke it hard, and the door swung open. Gouwa'er took the cleaning tool from the other side and threw it into the room.

These flat-haired beasts exploded in an instant when they were frightened, and these birds rushed out in a swarm. The leading geese rushed the most vigorously like the generals of an army, and the two little dolls stood aside Shouting and moving outside, several little boys stepped forward to stop the goose vanguard, but they were pecked by the big goose, and they were beaten and rolled on the ground.

Looking up, I saw the following chickens and ducks waving their paws and flippers and stepping over them. Taking advantage of the chaos, Gou Wa'er and Youde quickly hid in the slop room to watch the farce. Rubbing on the stove, the shiny fur was lifted by the fire, and a fire broke out.

The chicken and duck was frightened and plunged into the same group again, and the whole runaway group rushed into the lobby with flames and feathers in an instant. In the restaurant, the screams flew together with the chickens and ducks, and the fire was the same color as the scorching sun. The two of them giggled non-stop, but saw a chicken on fire flying out from the second floor and happened to hit them in front of them, shaking a few times. Next, it seems that he is dead.

The two laughed, very happy, but when they were snickering, they heard a voice from the alley, "The shopkeepers are them, I saw them go to the back kitchen!"

Youde yelled that it was bad, but Gouwaer didn't even dare to turn his head back. The two of them shouted, "The wind is pulling!" Passers-by just left the city gate in a panic.

The two fell on the grass not far from the city, breathing in the fresh air outside the city. They turned their heads and happened to meet each other's eyes, and smiled at each other, as if to celebrate their escape from death. laughed.

The two of them saw a little blue smoke coming out of the high-rise building from a distance, and then it slowly disappeared. It seemed that the army of chickens and ducks just brought a small trouble to Daoxianglou, and Gouwa'er was so worried. He took a deep breath, not knowing whether he lamented that the fire wasn't burning hot enough, or was glad that it didn't lead to a catastrophe.

The two of them rested for a while, then took out the dried meat from the package, which was all air-dried at home, and it tasted very special now.

The two swallowed the dried meat whole with the clear water by the moat, got up and entered the city together again.It's not that the two newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, it's just that Boss Liang is probably too busy to take care of himself at this time, and Gouwaer and the others are not going in the direction of Daoxianglou.

The author has something to say:

The text will be a little procrastinated, and the writing below is a little procrastinated, sorry
