Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

Thin, fat, and high-quality pork is tied tightly with thin ropes, cooked thoroughly but not overheated, removed and left to cool, then untied the ropes, and cut out thin slices with a sharp blade. Fat and thin are solidified and not scattered.

Put it on a plate and serve it on the table, pick it up with chopsticks, dip it in sauces such as soy sauce and minced garlic, and eat it. It is not greasy, fragrant and mellow. This white-cut meat dish is actually suitable for sorghum wine, but Fang Chang only ordered a pot of strong tea this time, and did not touch the gourd on his waist.

Shredded eel, one or two inches long, stir-fried with lard on high heat, without any other ingredients except refined salt and a little coriander sprinkled on the pan. The raw fried shredded eel on the table is white in color without losing its original taste, slightly crispy and extremely delicious.

Finely chop the chicken breast into a puree, then take the egg white, pour it into it and stir in one direction until it blends into one and there is no dross. Warm up the oil pan, spread the mashed egg and meat into it, it is in the shape of large and thin slices, until it is thin but not broken, cooked but not burnt, the heat is just right.

When it comes out of the pan, a few tender bean sprouts are added to this dish of hibiscus chicken as a decoration, and a few drops of chicken oil are sprinkled on it. The taste is good and wonderful, and Fang Chang likes it very much.

There are also pancakes that are not brushed with oil. This is more common, but it is quite soft.

Compared with millet, there are a little less wheat in the world, and it takes a lot of work to grind noodles, so white noodle cakes are also a more high-end food.

In the past few days, although Fang Chang did not find any news about the couple, he was accompanied by delicious food every day.

It was a good day.

That is, the money in the package was spent like running water.

Fang Chang moved his chopsticks gracefully, and his demeanor seemed to be very slow, but the dishes on the table seemed to be swept away by the wind, and the bottom was quickly seen, and only the last two pieces of pancakes cut into corners by chopsticks were left on the plate.

Fortunately, no one around, whether it was the diners or the waiters, noticed his unusual appetite.

Just as he was rolling up a piece of white meat with chopsticks and was about to dip it into a small dish next to him, Fang Chang's ears suddenly moved.

Then, he turned his head to look at the restaurant wall.

While eating, Fang Chang could hear the subtle sounds in the surrounding streets and alleys.

Fortunately, he has entered the path of practice, and his heart is firm and unmoved. Otherwise, an ordinary person with the ability to listen to thousands of voices will only be driven crazy, or go to the desert grassland to live in seclusion.

It should be two citizens, at a distance of about three intersections from here, talking in a low voice, no sound of walking can be heard, it is estimated that the two of them are standing still, according to the echo of the conversation, it is in the alley.

At the same time, there was the sound of melon seeds being cracked open and the skin of the melon seeds falling to the ground.

One of them asked with a Yuzhou accent, "Fourth Uncle, do you want to repair the bridge, or ask Mr. to go to school with you?"

The so-called Fourth Uncle cracked a few melon seeds, seemed to be hesitating and thinking, then stopped and said:

"I can't say which one is better. For the bridge, everyone can save five miles from walking to the opposite side. If the money is used to build a school, it will enable the surrounding children to learn to read and understand the truth. It seems that either is good."

There were two rustling sounds. It should be the person who spoke in a stern voice at first, scratching the top of his head: "I thought about it too. It would be great if the sailors donated more, and then both the bridge and the school will be built."

Here, Fang Chang put down the pancake, stuffed the sliced ​​meat into his mouth, chewed and continued to listen.

I don't know if the so-called fourth uncle shook his head, but he said in the tone of an elder, quite disapproving:

"Wealth, we can't think like this. How much to donate is someone else's business. What we have to think about is where is the best place to invest the money and food donated by other members. We can make a decision with everyone when we have a collegiate meeting."

"After all, this sailor's family, Wan Guan's family, come from a pure and innocent family. They are all the property rewarded by the court as an official from the ancestors, and they do good deeds almost every year. They are not comparable to those who are rich and unkind."

"Young nephew is taught." The young man was still in a low voice, and he was not idle eating sunflower seeds, "Yes, this official family is different. The family outside the sailors lives in seclusion all day long, very low-key, and those who live in the city all day long. Drinking is totally different."

The sound of cracking melon seeds began to be mixed with the crisp sound of crushing peanut shells.

"Fourth Uncle, the peanuts you roasted at home are pretty good. Did you use the sand dug by the river?"

"Yeah, it's been sieved, eat more if you like it... I thought about it, it's okay to take a few more steps on weekdays, anyway, everyone doesn't often cross the river, it's not a holiday, who usually has nothing to go to the river On the other side? This side also has everything. But the dolls can’t delay their reading and writing. If you’re a year late, you won’t be able to make up for the old age.”

"...Fourth Uncle, you are right. I will throw mung beans into the Jian Xue School when the collegiate meeting is held in a few days."

"Well, I am the same, let's build a school."

"Yeah……"

Here, Fang Chang smiled slightly. It should be the family they mentioned, at least they are related. After all, the surname Shui is very rare, and I have been wandering around in Yuzhou these days, and I have never heard anyone with the surname water.

The sailor they mentioned sounds like a kind person.

At least what he did was completely in line with the morals of this era.

Fang Chang withdrew his attention and swept away the food on the table in front of him. It is a shameful act to waste food. Fortunately, Fang Chang has a good appetite and a large amount of food, and he is never afraid of too much food.

"Guest officer, go slowly~!"

After clearing his mouth and hands after casting a spell, Fang Chang walked out the door after paying the bill at the counter, and the waiter behind him bowed slightly and shouted.

…………

...

Now that he had learned the news, Fang Chang withdrew from this unhurried state and began to inquire purposefully.

Although this family kept a low profile on weekdays, they did not hide from the world, but it was not difficult to find.

Asking any boy on the side of the road, Fang Chang knew the location of the sailor's family's house, but this time he didn't meet the kind of interesting boy who asked for an equivalent reward to guide the way.

The news I got from Old Uncle Li before is that everyone thought that the child was killed by thieves together with the old servant. They didn't know that he was rescued, and it was impossible for anyone to know that the child died of illness when he became an adult. Li has been replaced with another soul, and only one obsession remains.

In this day and age, it is not uncommon for babies to die, and the couple should have let go of their grief.

The sailor's family's house is a tall compound, which looks quite old. There is a high threshold of stone lions on the door, and the word "Shuifu" is written on the plaque.

Seeing the name, Fang Chang was stunned: I don't know, I thought it was a water temple.

When he got close, he counted with his fingers, and knew that he had come to the right place this time. The opportunity to solve this obsession by himself was in this courtyard.

Thank you for my reward, I am a horse, Linbo Yilang.
