Great Song

"Steward, there's a village store in front, do you want to take a rest and avoid the sun?"

Hearing the coachman's question, Han Zhong opened his eyes, looked at the sweaty crowd, nodded and said, "Have a rest for half an hour, eat before going on the road."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickened their pace.Not long after, we arrived near the small shop.This restaurant is not far from the small town in front, and the storefront can be considered spacious.Seeing a large group of people coming, the store owner immediately came out to greet them, and bowed to invite them: "It's not easy to travel in this hot day, the guest officer hurried into the store to rest! The store has food, fish and meat, and new wine. It is to relieve fatigue..."

Han Zhong wasn't in the mood to listen to his ramblings, he just said: "Fry a chicken, make a few bowls of Lengtao, hurry up."

The store owner was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately asked the cook to kill the chicken for cooking, and put tea in front of him.There is no decent tea in a small shop in the country, and Han Zhong is not picky, so he drinks it as soon as he picks it up.The tea soup was weak, which made his frown a little tighter.

He has a heavy burden on his back this time.Going out to do business with the young master, who would have expected that only two or three months later, the old lady at home invited another "immortal elder" back.According to the family letter, that Taoist is different from the past, not only has strong mana, but also masters alchemy.The old lady saw him cast spells a few times, and she was convinced, and wanted to ask the Taoist to turn on the furnace, and she was about to take the golden elixir!

Hearing this news, the little master was shocked and angry, but he couldn't get away for a while, so he asked him to bring someone back first, and must stop the old lady from taking the pill!

Of course Han Zhong knew the importance of this matter, but the old lady was stubborn and respectful.According to what was said in the letter, that Taoist seemed to have magical powers, and even Imperial Physician Guo in the east of the city could not persuade him.As a servant, how can he prevent the old lady from taking those "elixir" of unknown origin?

I was so worried that even the tea tasted bitter.Just at this time, the shopkeeper's greeting sounded outside the door again: "Ah, where did the immortal head come from? Do you want to rest or eat? Please come inside."

Han Zhong suddenly raised his head and looked out.I saw a young man standing on the side of the road outside the door, about sixteen or seventeen years old, not tall, wearing a kerchief, a green cloth Taoist robe, and a big cage on his back, obviously walking alone.However, even if he is covered in dust and his clothes are half-worn, he can't hide his beautiful appearance with red lips and white teeth. If it weren't for his eyes being a little dull, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a "fairy boy".

Isn't this appearance the old lady's favorite?Han Zhong thought about it, and took a sneak peek.

Here, Zhen Qiong was not in the mood to observe the other diners, and after finally walking to a place where he could rest, he quickly unloaded the cage from his back and sat down at an empty table.

It's rare to see such a handsome Daotong. The shop owner smiled and introduced: "Although the shop is small, it has a full range of food. The rice is carefully pounded, the vegetables are fresh, and the chickens and fish are very fat. What does the fairy want to eat?"

Listening to what he said, Zhen Qiong swallowed her saliva and asked, "How do you sell the tea?"

The shopkeeper was stunned: "Just one penny..."

"Bring a pot of tea, put more tea leaves!" Zhen Qiong immediately made a decision, touched a coin, and put it on the table.Just kidding, I saved ten Wen after walking hard all morning, how could I spend it on food casually?

Regardless of the other party's strange expression, Zhen Qiong bent down to untie the bag, and took out the dry food that had been prepared long ago.On a hot day, I can't let go of anything else, they are all pancakes and pickles.He also made a few marinated eggs, and he was tired from walking this morning, so he had a good meal.

Thinking, he picked up a biscuit, split it in the middle, first added some pickles, then peeled the marinated egg and stuffed it in.Crush the marinated egg carefully, make sure it is evenly divided, and then bite into it hard.Fortunately, the pancakes are fresh, and the eggs are marinated by himself, so the taste is not bad.

However, before he had even chewed a couple of bites, when the curtain in the back kitchen was raised, a cook came out with a big bowl of chicken.Zhen Qiong watched helplessly as the bowl of chicken nuggets was placed on the next table. It was steaming hot, with a compelling aroma, and could smell a little bit of onion.Looking down at the pancake in her hand again, Zhen Qiong silently swallowed what was in her mouth, and took off the bamboo tube hanging from the cage.

The tube contained ebony soup, and there was only one cup left, so I might as well drink it up.What kind of chicken do you eat on a hot day?His iced ebony soup is the best way to cool off the heat!While implying to himself, Zhen Qiong took down the bamboo cup, pressed the refrigeration valve, and poured the ebony soup into it.Touching the wall of the cup, Zhen Qiong picked up the pancake again and gnawed it quickly.

When the refrigeration valve is pressed, the water will be mixed into the saltpeter. It only takes 10 minutes to cool down, and you can drink it after eating the pancakes.I'll pour some tea in later, can I still drink herbal tea when I'm on the way in the afternoon?Thinking of this, he forgot about the chicken on the next table, staring at the cup while eating, seeing a little bit of white mist coming out of it, he felt happy.When the ice crystals are formed, the ebony soup is the best time to drink.

After eating the biscuits in two or three bites, the ebony soup was almost frozen. Zhen Qiong was about to reach out to take it, but heard a harsh "creak" sound from the bench next to him, and saw the chicken-eating guests stand up and walk quickly towards this side Come.

■

It really is freezing!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Han Zhong couldn't believe his eyes!The soup was normal when it was just poured out, but white smoke came out after a while, and when you looked closely, it turned out to be ice crystals!This is the dog days, has he ever seen such a miraculous Taoism? !

Thinking quickly, Han Zhong immediately put a smile on his face, and said to the doubtful young man who looked up: "The old man also passed by here, and it happened to be the fairy head. It's really lucky. I don't know if the fairy head will appreciate it. Let's have a meal together." ?”

As he spoke, he winked, and his subordinates immediately picked up the plate of chicken on the table, and stood obediently aside.

Although the pancakes are all eaten, but the chicken is in front of me, so I can still eat some more.Zhen Qiong swallowed her saliva and said politely, "Old man, please sit down."

Han Zhong immediately sat down, and the plate of fried chicken was placed between the two of them.Seeing the boy's straight eyes, Han Zhong smiled slightly, and ordered again: "Let the store serve two more dishes, both fish and meat."

After that, he stretched out his hand in a friendly manner: "You are welcome, Taoist priest, move your chopsticks, move your chopsticks."

There is no way to refuse such an earnest invitation.Zhen Qiong immediately picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, um, it was a little rooster. Although the cooking was mediocre, the meat was tender and fatty, which made Zhen Daochang's eyes light up after eating vegetarian for several days.

After wolfing down the chicken, he picked up the cup again and took a sip of the iced plum soup. It was cold and sweet, not to mention how refreshing it was!

Putting down the cup, Zhen Qiong belatedly realized that the person opposite hadn't moved her chopsticks, but was just staring at him, as if she wanted to see a flower on his face.No matter how slow he was, he felt something was wrong, and asked suspiciously, "Why doesn't the old man eat?"

Looking away from the bamboo cup, Han Zhong sighed inwardly, he really read it right.After taking a sip of the ebony soup in the cup, the ice floating on it became more obvious.It's really frozen, but why is there no showy look on this child's face at all?Is this technique not worth mentioning, or is he playing tricks?

Han Zhong didn't reveal what was in his heart, he just smiled and said, "I don't know where I'm cultivating."

"Oh, I'm about to go to Changchun Temple and join an uncle." Zhen Qiong naturally answered honestly after eating from others.

However, Han Zhong showed some surprise: "But the Changchun Temple on Baiyu Mountain? This mountain is near Anyang, and this old man is from Anyang!"

Changchun Temple is also a Taoist temple often visited by the old lady, but she has donated a lot of money.The Taoist in Guanli also made alchemy, but fortunately they were all elixirs for nourishing qi and health. I also asked Imperial Physician Guo to take a look at them, and there was no serious problem.If this Tongzheng is a person of Changchun Temple, he can be more convinced.

Hearing what he said, Zhen Qiong turned her head to look at the convoy parked outside the restaurant, with a kind smile on her face: "It really is a coincidence."

Wouldn't this team all belong to the person in front of him?If you can get close, take a ride!

As the general manager of Han's business, he has walked half his life in the rivers and lakes. How could Han Zhong fail to see what this little guy was thinking in his heart? He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It is fate to meet you! Colleagues, there is also a care."

Zhen Qiong was overjoyed immediately, and said repeatedly: "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it."

Has anyone answered like that?The corners of Han Zhong's mouth twitched, and he kept his smile on his face. He said casually: "Speaking of which, my old lady is also a pilgrim of Changchun Temple. She has worshiped for more than ten years, and she is very sincere. This Changchun Temple is the most good at alchemy. I don’t know if the Immortal Elder also learns the Golden Alchemy Dao?”

Hearing what he said, Zhen Qiong snorted: "Golden pills are not the way, I'm afraid they want to eat dead people. I'm studying the way of fortune, specializing in gold and stone!"

Isn't Jindan just Jinshi medicine?A little dizzy by these words, Han Zhong still understands that this child doesn't like golden alchemy!In this way, isn't it the best person to persuade the old lady?

He immediately complimented: "What the elder fairy said is true! It's ashamed to say that my old lady met a wild Taoist a few days ago and was tricked into taking pills. It's really worrying. I don't know if the elder fairy can come back with the old man Mansion, give me some advice..."

ah?Only then did Zhen Qiong realize that it was because of this that she gave away the chicken and hitchhiked.The brains that love to knock out golden pills are not very bright, so what can I say?It's better to go to Changchun to watch alchemy earlier!But if he wants to go all the way with this old man, not to mention saving money, he will definitely be able to eat and drink, which makes him a little bit reluctant.

Seeing the hesitant expression on the face of the little Taoist in front of him, Han Zhong hastily added a sentence: "If the immortal is willing to go, the old man will give you a generous gift..."

money!Zhen Qiong's eyes lit up: "It's nothing more than a little effort, I will definitely persuade the old lady well!"

Just be willing to go.Han Zhong also laughed: "Then there will be Lao Xianchang."

It doesn't matter whether he can persuade the old lady, just this magical method of turning water into ice is enough to make the old lady believe him.As long as it can be delayed for a few days, it will be easy to wait until the little master returns.
