Husband, Have Dinner

The news of the water walk was announced by no one. The commander and the centurion from several battalions were not there. The soldiers guarding the Yanmen were in a mess, and people continued to join the ranks of the granary to fight the fire.

In the panic, some people ran away from the granary and headed for the north gate, waiting for the fireworks of Lion Ridge to open the door of convenience, welcoming companions, entering the city, and changing masters.

Nei Ying looked at the direction of Lion Ridge, but it was Feihuling who was the first to move.

The enemy is strong. Fortunately, the arrow clusters pierced his clothes. At the same time, it also cut through his skin, leaving a blood mark. The grass black juice smeared on the arrow clusters seeped in. Although the weight was weak, the fight became more intense. , The more wounds he had, the grass black juice finally played its role in the end——

Give the opponent a momentary illusion.

There was a momentary pause.

enough.

Pei Shuo was behind him, there was no extra action, so he inserted the sword with his backhand, and the man with the sword used all his strength to slam him against the floor and severely suppressed him.

The warm liquid was flowing, and the resistance of the people under him became weaker and weaker.

Feihuling returned to peace.

For a long time, Pei Shuo wiped the blood from his face, grabbed the sword and got up, his legs trembled, and he walked to the high platform like a shaky one, lighting the beacon of the letter.

This is not enough. Counting time, the enemy should be approaching Lion Ridge.

"Boom!" It seemed to awaken the forest in his sleep.

"Boom!" The migratory birds closest to Feihuling flapped their wings to stay away.

"Boom!" The thicker drum sound flew as the migratory birds flew away, and spread farther away.

The army walking in the woods stopped, the leader raised his hand to stop, lay down on the ground and listened, this time it was a dense drumbeat!

What is delivered is a message.

"Enemy attack-prepare for war!"

In an instant, the soldiers garrisoned at Lion Ridge lit torches, and the towering Great Wall awakened.

The fire light illuminates the city wall, and these barbarians in Saibei can also see the crowds on it. The archers quickly took their place and opened their bows to aim at them.

What they did was a sneak attack, and they are now exposed to the soldiers' eyes, and the two sides are in a stalemate.

The leader gritted his teeth and hated the person who beat the drum to report bad news about his plan. The sneak attack on the stronghold failed, and the signal from Yanmen has not yet come.

hateful!

"shoot!"

The soldiers of the city wall gave the order, and the rain of arrows flew down, forcing the Serbei barbarians to retreat, one high and one low, they have no chance of winning, "Retreat!"

Shiziling replied with the sound of drums and waved the military flag high.

Feihuling's drums stopped abruptly, and Pei Shuo's hands were too heavy to lift up, sitting on the battlements.

There is a ray of light in the eastern sky, and the orange-red cinnabar spot is moving from below that line to the line.

Its daybreak.

...

"The fairy rich cakes, delicious rich cakes, use the fairy rich cakes to receive the God of Wealth!"

Every year on the fifth day of the first lunar month, it is the day to pick up the God of Wealth. The people in Nanxun Town bring their old and young to the Taoist Temple to worship the God of Wealth, praying for prosperity and prosperity this year.

Ayao thought that on such a day, there must be many vendors selling food or Fragrant Mountain incense near the Taoist Temple, and she could just make some pocket money.

Discussed with Mochizuki, and before dawn, we went to Taixuguan to set up a stall with the bird’s nest in an ox cart.

They arrived just in time, occupying the last empty seat under the banyan tree in front of the temple. Lifting the steamer out of the car, they saw the devout believers stepping out of the Taoist temple, and the believers who had had breakfast on the other side poured in one after another.

A Yao stood on the stone steps under the tree, yelling, "Fairy rich cakes. Legend has it that Emperor Wu will live a long life after eating cakes. The fairy rich cakes are delicious, with good taste, and the God of Wealth likes them the most!"

"The fairy rich cake, what's the saying, how to sell it?"

Before the change of voice, Ayao consciously controlled herself not to yell and turn into screams. When the voices were full of people before the day was three minutes, the crisp child voice spread, attracting curious people to come and ask.

This is the first customer, and it has to be a good start to the business.

A Yao cheered up and smiled and said, "My fairy rich cakes come from "shu recommended fairy cakes, calamus rich and precious flowers." According to legend, Emperor Wu met an old man on a hunting tour. The old man said he was 180 years old and could travel 300 miles a day. It’s because he met gods and taught him not to eat grains, but only to eat atractylodes. I used atractylodes, calamus, yam, and sesame oil, white noodles, glutinous rice flour, and honey to make cakes. OK. Atractylodes is a product that nourishes the gods, the God of Fortune will like it if you eat it! Would you like to have one to try it?"

Ayao uncovered the cloth on the basket, revealing the fairy rich cakes inside, and suddenly a sweet smell mixed with Atractylodes yam scent drifted out, and the hot mist dissipated. On one side were a few chrysanthemums, the pastry looked lovely, and the other On one side is a flat chrysanthemum round cake, the round cake is skiing white, looking greedy.

The smell of honey was so rich that the man licked his mouth and looked greedy.

"The flower-shaped rich cake has nine words, and the pie-shaped rich cake has three dollars."

The man cried, "So expensive? The meat buns are only three cents, and you are sold for three cents for your cake. Little girl, you do this business that no one patronizes."

No matter how he bargained the price, A Yao always shook his head and refused to lower the price. "My fairy rich cake is not only to fill the stomach, but also to sacrifice to the **** of wealth. The ingredients are never fooled. You smell the sweetness of honey and the taste of Atractylodes yam. Thick, not to mention—" She blinked, "The flower-shaped rich cake is for the gods. Although it has no floral fragrance, it dares to compete with chrysanthemums..."

Before Ayao's words were finished, a head emerged from behind the man, with a wooden hairpin in the bun, and wearing an indigo cotton robes, which looked almost the same height as Ayao. He handed out three copper plates "Bring me one."

When the bird's nest collects the money, A Yao picks up the rich cake and hands it to Xiaodaotong.

A piece of zong leaves cut into a square is placed under each cake. Don't worry about the cake **** sticking together after a long time. The wooden clamps are picked up and handed to the guests to eat directly.

Xiao Dao Tong took a bite on the spot, his eyes lit up, and he finished eating three or two bites. He licked his fingertips and looked at the fairy rich cakes in the basket. Obviously he hadn't eaten enough. He rolled his eyes a few times and handed out nine copper plates. "The taste is still wide, Miss Sister trouble to have another chrysanthemum, I will take it back to offer God."

Treating chrysanthemum-like rich cakes is somewhat different from pastry-like cakes. Under the paper bowl, add a few slices of green zong leaves to make nine-sectioned calamus. The chrysanthemum-like rich cakes are placed lightly by Ayao. On the way up, Xiao Dao Tong also said that it was beautiful, and happily supported it and ran back to Taixuan.

"Then, give me one too." The people next to him saw Xiaodaotong's food tasteful, the smell was like feathers fluttering on the tip of his nose, and the greedy worms in his stomach kept spinning and making noises, even though the three cents were expensive. Point, eat something good in the first month, and later you can bring the cake made of chrysanthemums to show your face in front of the God of Fortune.

He comforted himself and reluctantly took out twelve cents.

Just after taking a bite, the pain of the meat was instantly cured by the cake in the mouth. The aroma of Atractylodes macrocephala was still lingering, and the taste was sweet and waxy and not sticky to the teeth.

Regardless of its small size, Ayao slightly changed the pastry when making the fairy rich cakes. The original recipe used dried yam, which made the cake feel like medicated cakes from smelling to eating. She changed the dried yam to Iron stick yam, steamed yam is cut into pieces while hot, grind in a spoon, add honey and mix well with the dough. After being steamed, you can taste the yam granules of Sasha Nuo.

"Bring me three more!"

"Do you want to take it home for your family?"

Ayao got the answer from the guest, took out the mulberry paper and wrapped them into a small tube, which was convenient to carry in her hand.

Watching the two guests, A Yao's eyes were shining, full of joyful excitement, "Bird's Nest, as soon as we open the bird's nest, we will be happy, and we will definitely make a lot of money today!"

"It will be as you said, little scallop."

Too imaginary

Halfway through the blessing ceremony, the faithful were listed in front of the temple, watching the Taoist priests pray for blessings in a calm manner.

The outside is smoky, and there is no fireworks in the Temple of Wealth across the door. Although the number of places to participate in the puja is limited, the faithful who have not been able to enter can also get close to the Temple of Wealth. Listening to the Taoist music from the inside, the noise is isolated from the ears. , Peace of mind.

Taoist incense is not without reason.

The God of Wealth sits tall, looking at the faithful and Taoist priests below. In addition to the fruit, a small screen with a portrait of a boy is placed on each side of the stage.

The little Dao Tong who went down the mountain to buy snacks sneaked in through the back door, and hid behind the pillars to watch the dharma meeting, and was then ruthlessly pulled out by the brother.

"Oh, brother, lighten it, your ears hurt." Xiao Daotong grabbed his senior brother's hand in one hand and tried to rescue his ear, while the other hand did not forget to protect the "chrysanthemum" he bought.

"You sneak up at the Fa conference, you're horrible enough. Why don't you give you a firecracker and see Lu Zu from the sky?" Brother let go.

Seeing the lifeless look on his senior brother's face, Xiao Daotong's eyes flicked, and he pleased to pass the chrysanthemum rich cake up. "Brother, I accidentally left the view. As a result, under the big banyan tree in front of the view, there was a young girl selling fairy and rich cakes. She couldn't help but stop and buy them. Atractylodes japonicus is mixed, the mind is good, and the taste is good. When you were tossing rice, you didn’t say that Grandpa wanted to change the taste. Do you think this will work? This is the little girl who said it is better for worship."

The brother took a chrysanthemum-like rich cake and looked at it carefully, leaning close with his hand, and the scent of honey mixed with yam and Atractylodes was pungent, and there was a faint fragrance of grass belonging to calamus.

The cake ball made by Ayao once thought about brushing the egg liquid to make the "chrysanthemum" look more similar. Mochizuki stopped her, saying that Taixu view is not the righteous religion, and is more inclined to the whole truth. After that, I changed to steaming and letting cool before brushing with a layer of honey.

Smelling there is no problem, the senior groaned, grabbed a petal in his hand and sent it to his mouth.

"!!!" Xiao Daotong's eyes widened, brother, how can you do this? Not kind, he wants to eat too!

Glancing at him, raising his hand to prevent him from getting it, quickly grabbed a few petals and continued to send it to his mouth.

"Brother, you are shameless now, do you know?"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Xiaodaotong squinted, suddenly jumped up and took a bite of the remaining cake ball.

"Where does the honey come from?" Senior Brother Zhang Shi followed the smell and saw that the big and the small were squeezing each other's faces.

Brother "..."

Xiaodao Boy "..."

"You guys are quite free."

"Brother, I can explain."

At this time, Ayao Buddhism sells cake dumplings——

As the first guest who smelled it said, the price is high.

Before this is too imaginary, you can buy a steamed bun with sour stuffing for 2 liters, a glutinous rice dumpling for 1 liter, syrup, soy milk, and seven steamed dates. The store sells blood soup, noodle soup, eel, and crispy yellow croaker, each for less than 15 cents.

With a dozen or so essays in hand, you can have a good meal in the small market before Guanqian.

The fairy rich cakes sold by the little girl are pretty good, and they smell good, just shy in the bag.

People passing by asked about the price with a painful expression, got close enough to smell, and walked a few steps with their hands behind their backs to visit other homes. Only a few paid for it, mostly for three cents.

The mentality is a bit collapsed.

Let him, let him, eat it yourself if you can't sell it.

"Our little scallop is very powerful. Seeing that it is almost noon, we will hold on again, no matter the result is a gain." Bird's Nest comfort did not intervene in her practice. Yao is a small practice.

"Yeah." A Yao wondered whether to lower the price? There are still a few cages of fairy rich cakes in the ox cart, which are quite a loss if they can't be sold out. She thought about taking a glance at the ox cart. It was a little cheaper in the afternoon.

Just when she was thinking whether to refer to the price of the buns, or to reset the price herself, the little Taoist boy was squeezed out of the crowd, and his senior brother also squeezed over. "It's here."

Taoist Master "Wuliang Tianzun, do you still have the chrysanthemum-style fairy rich cakes? How many are there? I bought them all."

Xiaodaotong pulled his sleeve and reminded "Brother, brother, and round cakes."

"Then fifteen round cakes."

The God of Wealth has appeared! It's a big deal!

A Yao was so dizzy by the sudden good news that she couldn't remember anything. She was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly jumped up and worshiped Taixu Guan, muttering thank you, God of Wealth.

Looking back, I saw that everyone around the stall was watching her, Ayao was very embarrassed, and quickly counted her cakes. "Chrysanthemum rich cakes and round cakes are two cages. There are 15 chrysanthemum rich cakes in one cage, and a total of 30 pieces are nine. , There are 25 round cakes in a cage, a single three-text, a total of 50."

There are 15 in one cage, one with nine characters, 50 in two cages, and one with three characters. That is,... Xiaodaotong’s eyes are mosquito-repellent-like, and it’s still counted if he pinches his fingers.

"The chrysanthemum rich cake is two hundred and seventy words, and the round cake is one hundred and fifty words. Are you sure you want it all?" This A Yao has already reported the number.

"It's all necessary, Junior Brother, go back and call your other senior brothers to come and help move." Dao Master squeezed Xiao Dao Tong's face, he responded sharply, pushed aside the crowd and got out.

The Taoist priests of Taixuguan moved the steamer back. Here, A Yao and Dao Chang settled the accounts. Both parties were very happy. A Yao took the steamer back and took the bird’s nest back to the ox cart. "Let’s go back~"

The bullock cart slowly left Taixuguan, and a conversation between the two little girls faintly spread.

Bird's Nest "Will you not go in and worship the God of Wealth, but Lu Zu?"

A Yao "Bye, of course, but you think it's noon. Go back to eat with Master first, change your clothes and bring Master with you in the afternoon. It's too imaginary to see the true spirit, so you have to return to the gods."
