I Am Xianfan

　　Walking about a half mile from Ximen Pier towards the county seat is Hanshan Taoist Temple.

　　 The Taoist gate is solemn, the red stone walls and black tiles look solemn, and the bronze gates are magnificent. The believers come in and out, the incense is in full bloom, and there is a prosperous scene.

　　 Hanshan Ancient View has a history of thousands of years, but it has always been tepid and not well-known.

　　 Until the current master Hanshan Zhenren took over this ancient temple twenty years ago, and personally sat in the ancient temple to promote immortality, the Hanshan ancient temple became famous and its incense became more and more prosperous.

　　Su Chen once heard from Zhouzhuang fishermen who said that this true Hanshan man has great magical powers and can walk on the waves on the big rivers and lakes. He knows everything about the world, and it is even more complete and powerful to squeeze his hands.

　　 The real man of Hanshan is recognized as a peerless master, famous throughout the thirteen counties of Wu County, and even the magistrate of the county magistrate wants to see the real man of Hanshan, he must visit the Taoist temple in person.

　　 However, in recent years, Han Shan Zhenren has rarely stayed in the Han Shan Taoist Temple. They have traveled around the world and made friends with experts from all walks of life.

　　Unless ordinary people hit the Grand Fortune, they have rarely seen him in Taoist temples. When visiting Hanshan Taoist Temple on weekdays, usually only the five disciples and apprentices and grandchildren of the real person in the Temple can be seen.

　　 The legend of the real person in Hanshan made Su Chen, a twelve-year-old ignorant boy, cherished great awe of the ancient view of Hanshan.

　　 More than ten years ago, when Su Chen was born, the old master Han Shan once showed him an illness and gave him a name.

　　 Su Chen is full of admiration and curiosity for this Hanshan Taoist temple, but he has never entered the temple to watch it, and he feels rather regretful.

　　 He is now in tattered clothes and dare not go into the ancient world. He just worshipped a few respectfully far away, which can be regarded as a gratitude. Thinking that if he gets rich in the future, he will come and get a few sticks of incense.

　　 Su Chen passed the Taoist Temple, walked a little more than half a mile, and quickly entered Gusu County.

　　 Chengli Street is more prosperous and lively than Ximen Wharf. There is a constant stream of carriages, large and small, and there are bustling people everywhere. Naturally, it is not comparable to Zhouzhuang in the poor countryside.

　　 Along the main street are all kinds of clothing shops, grocery stores, pharmacies, money houses, **** shops, as well as blacksmiths and weapons shops, jewelry shops, restaurants, post stations and so on.

　　 Of course, there are peddlers carrying burdens, playing gongs, hawking along the street, and various theatrical troupes juggling at the street corners to beg for money.

　　 In contrast, Zhouzhuang has only a few small grocery shops and butcher shops, and no other high-end shops or juggling shops.

　　 Every time Su Chen came to Gusu County, he was dazzled and envious of the people in Gusu City. I always think that one day I can live in a prosperous place like Gusu County.

　　 But I just thought about it all the time, and didn't dare to take it seriously.

　　 Now, when he is forced to leave his hometown and come to Gusu County to ask for a living, his hair is very sad.

　　 I want to live in the prosperous place of Gusu County, and it is difficult everywhere. Just finding a living to earn money to eat and finding a place to sleep are the two top problems.

　　On the way to the county seat, he only ate a cold wowotou, and drove for most of the day. He was hungry and his limbs were tired.

　　 Su Chen went to the shops along the streets of the city and asked, as long as there was a chore, he would be willing to do some chores, but there was no such shop to hire a ten-year-old boy, so he touched his nose.

　　 After an hour came down and found nothing, Su Chen walked down the street with a low expression.

　　 By chance, passing by a large courtyard of a high-ranking rich man, a few fierce dogs suddenly appeared in the courtyard, barking at Su Chen, Su Chen couldn't help but look terrified, and ran away.

The vicious dog chased him all the way. Su Chen was so scared that he went into the alley. He accidentally stepped on the smelly ditch. His calf was shaking. He ran a few streets in one breath and hid in a remote corner. Throw away those vicious dogs.

　　 Su Chen just took a breath and wanted to rest in the corner.

　　 looked around, but stunned again.

　　 This remote corner where he hides is actually a beggar's den.

　　 Four or five ragged beggars, young and old, lay all-around, snarling fleas and basking in the sun. On the ground, there were several sets of ragged wooden bowls and tile bowls to beg for rice and money.

　　 In the past few years, the number of refugees in Gusu County has increased a lot. It is not uncommon for beggar dens in the county to be in groups of three to five.

　　 A young beggar with a Chinese character face leaned against the corner of the blue brick wall, with a chicken coop on his head, and a delicate and beautiful porcelain bowl in front of him, obviously the leader of this group of beggars.

　　 "Little brother, do you want to join Lao Zhu's beggar's den?"

　　 The young beggar looked at Su Chen with a strange look when he saw Su Chen rushing into the corner.

　　 "No! I just passed by."

　　 Su Chen quickly waved his hands and shook his head.

　　 "It's not a gang, then you are here to **** my Zhu Laoba's site? Bah, I'm looking for death! Drowning you with a spit!"

　　 The young beggar leader suddenly showed a fierce look, and spit at Su Chen, staring at him with hatred.

　　 Su Chen jumped up in shock, avoiding his saliva.

　　 was spit on by this beggar for no reason, and he was annoyed. It was enough to meet Poppi before, and I didn't expect that even the down-and-out beggar in this county would bully him so ruthlessly.

　　 Su Chen flew over with an angry kick, kicked over the flower bowl of the stinky beggar leader, and ran away.

　　 "Oh~! Lao Tzu's precious porcelain bowl is broken. Brothers grabbed this stinky boy and beat him to death!"

　　 The young beggar saw that the most precious porcelain bowl of flowers was flew by Su Chen, hit the corner of the wall and screamed to pieces. He couldn't help but yelled in pain, screaming and cursing.

　　 Su Chen was chased by many beggars, and fled in shock.

　　 It was almost evening when the beggars stopped and retreated, hurriedly begging everywhere.

　　 Su Chen was all dirty, tired and hungry, walking awkwardly on the streets of Gusu County.

　　 He looked up at the setting sun.

　　 The evening cold wind gradually picked up, clothes were thin, and there was a burst of sorrow and grief in my heart, and I wanted to cry without tears. It's really unlucky to drink, and it's so cool to drink.

　　 was busy working all afternoon and didn't find a job. Either he was chased by a vicious dog, or he was chased by a beggar, and nothing good happened.

　　 "I'm afraid I can't find work in the county town for a while, and I don't have a place to stay tonight. After dark, the sky is freezing and I'm afraid I won't be able to survive."

　　 Su Chen tightened his shirt, thinking.

　　 I haven't eaten anything all day, and I can barely endure it.

　　 But the bitterness of freezing in the cold night is the most difficult one, and it is easy to be frozen to death on the street.

　　 Su Chen didn't intend to trouble his brother A Chou, after all, A Chou is also a clerical fellow at the inn, and life is not easy.

　　 But there is no other way at the moment, I can only go to the Tianying Inn to find A Chou for a night. Get through the cold tonight, and the sun will be warmer tomorrow, and then make plans.

　　 Su Chen came to Ximen Street, outside the Tianying Inn, where business was prosperous.

　　 Soon, he saw the young man A Chou who was messing around in the lobby of the Tianying Inn. He even smelled the strong smell of wine and meat wafting out of the inn, and he was greedy.

　　 Tianying Inn is an industry under the name of Tianyingmen, one of the five big gangs in Wu County. It is famous in Gusu County and is one of the most high-end restaurants.

　　The inn is luxurious and proud, with three attic floors above and below, and the lobby and boxes are often full.

　　 Today's Tianying Inn is extremely lively. The shopkeeper Wang, the chefs and more than a dozen guys are all very busy, busy hosting a twelfth lunar banquet for Tianying customers.

Hundreds of brawny men in the same color robes and swords at their waists gathered in the lofts of the inn according to their status in the gang. Drinking and eating meat is very lively.

　　 Several old men in brocade robes riding on a horse with a high head of the gods appeared, and it seemed that the big figures from Tianyingmen were also present.

　　 "Welcome to Li Dafa and Hall Master Wang to come!"

　　 "Oh, Mr. Liu, you can count it! The banquet has been prepared inside, and the big guy is waiting for your old man."

　　 The shopkeeper Wang from the inn hurriedly came out with a few big guys, led the horse for the old man in Jinpao, and kept screaming for flattery and was busy.

　　 Su Chen saw that the inn was crowded with gangsters in Tianyingmen brocade robes, entering and leaving the inn, but there was nothing but horror in his heart.

　　 He used to hear from Zhouzhuang's fishermen that these high-profile hawks in Tianyingmen go to the government and go to the rivers and lakes. Black and white take all. The fishermen in Zhouzhuang are often bullied, and the exploiting methods are worse than those of the yamen, which makes people feel disillusioned.

　　 The gangsters in the Tianyingmen are not easy to provoke, and they will be beaten if they are not careful.

　　Su Chen is very in awe of these gangsters, and he doesn't want to come to this Tianying Inn alone on weekdays.

　　 In this inn, Su Chen only knew A Chou, a young man.

　　 A Chou is the same age as him. There is a blue fetal scar on his cheek, which looks a little ugly. He has no friends in the Tianying Inn and the county, and is often bullied by the inn’s guys.

　　 However, Su Chen knew that although A Chou was a bit ugly, he had a good heart, and the two men became good brothers. He would play with A Chou every time he came to the county seat.

　　 "Brother Chen, why are you here!"

　　 A Chou was wiping the seats, tidying up the leftovers of cold soup on the table, and seeing Su Chen appear outside the inn, he was surprised and wanted to run out to greet Su Chen.

　　 Suddenly, a big hand fell from the sky, grabbing Ah Chou’s ears and pulling hard, and the shopkeeper Wang’s furious voice came from behind him, “A Chou, you are tired and lazy, you are all slippery and lazy, don’t hurry to clean up the table!”

　　 "Oh, the ears are off, they are off~! The shopkeeper is spared!"

　　 A Chou's ears screamed like a painful slaughter, and he repeatedly begged the great treasurer for forgiveness.

　　In the restaurant, many high-profile guests who ate meat and drink saw this scene, could not help but laughed and slapped the table with great joy.

　　 Su Chen didn't even dare to approach the Tianying Inn, but waved to A Chou from a distance to make him busy first, and he nestled in the corner of the street opposite the inn, waiting for the inn to close at night.

　　 A Chou, as a miscellaneous boy, is busy, serving tea and water to the inn's high-profile guests. I'm afraid he won't be free until it closes in the evening.

　　 Su Chen looked at the sky, it was already evening.

　　 It is estimated that at night, these hawks will leave when they are full of food and drink.

　　 He is not familiar with other places in the county, and he is worried about going the wrong way. He dared not wander around at night. He just stayed in the corner of the street and endured his hunger.

　　 Being a buddy in Tianying Inn is not easy. Ah Chou served dishes to the guests, but when he was a little slower, he was scolded by the shopkeeper.

　　 There are some high-profile high-profile guests. If the guys are a little bit lazy when serving tea and serving, a big-eared scraper will be pulled over and beaten up.

　　 Su Chen shrank in the corner, looking from a distance, feeling very sad for A Chou.

　　 Being a young man in an inn is too pitiful, busy and tired, and sometimes be beaten and scolded by big shopkeepers and gangsters.

　　 He was in Zhouzhuang Water Town. Although his life was very hard, he often had a meal without a meal, but he would not be abused and beaten like this.

　　 On weekdays, my father and mother are busy fishing in the big lake. They let him catch fish in small rivers in the countryside, climb trees to dig out bird nests, pick wild vegetables in the wild, and find something to eat by themselves. I'm used to it, no one can control him.

　　 Su Chen sighed in his heart, not knowing whether it was for A Chou or his future self.

　　He will find a job as a handyman in the county. I am afraid that in the future, he will live like A Chou, who is bullied all day long.

　　...

　　 The sun went down, and it was completely late.

　　 In the middle of the night, the men of the Tianyingmen in the Tianying Inn were full and drunk, holding their fists together, leaving each other, and the Tianying Inn was closed.

　　 A Chou's face has a few more bruises, her ears are red and swollen, and she is obviously beaten and scolded by the shopkeeper and those Tianyingmen high-profile guests. But finally, when the inn was closed, his face was full of excitement.

　　Those high-rollers at Tianyingmen ate and drank freely, leaving a lot of dishes.

　　 There are a lot of leftovers and leftovers that cannot be eaten. The shopkeeper Wang Da is rarely kind today and asks the chefs and guys to pack them and take them back to their homes.

　　Even the lowest-ranked boy, Ah Chou, has been allocated a lot.

　　 He used a large lotus leaf to wrap up the leftover dishes, and there was a large group of leftover rice, delicacies and minced meat. Then he greeted Su Chen who was hiding in the outer corner of the inn to take shelter from the wind, and excitedly returned to the backyard of the Tianying Inn.

The backyard of 　　 Tianying Inn is very large, where the cooks cook, wash vegetables and do chores.

　　 In the corner of the yard, there is a wood room piled with straw and firewood, which is Ah Chou’s residence.

　　 Su Chen saw A Chou's nose and face swollen, and said with guilt: "A Chou, I have caused you trouble! You were beaten by the shopkeeper Wang Da."

"What are you talking about? We are brothers. If you don't come, I am also beaten by the shopkeeper every day. Come, Brother Chen, you finally come to the county town. I would like to invite you to have a delicious meal today! There is something in it. Half a stewed pork knuckle bun, and a small half tail braised crucian!

This is a good thing cooked by the chef of our inn. It is completely different from our own method of boiled fish in white water. Add a few tablespoons of vegetable oil, pure white salt and more than ten spices. Extremely! "

　　 Ah Chou said with flying eyebrows, excitedly placing the pouches on the ground.

　　 Su Chen smelled the peculiar smell and swallowed.

　　 His family is Zhouzhuang fisherman, and naturally he can often eat lake fish and shrimp. Most of the fish and shrimps at Tianying Inn were delivered by Zhouzhuang fishermen.

　　 However, the fish cooked at home is completely different from the fish fried in the inn.

　　 The method of cooking fish at home is very simple. It is boiled directly in a crock pot, and you can eat it when it is cooked.

　　 The taste is whitish, light, and very fishy.

　　 If you can throw some salt and green vegetable leaves into the crock pot, add a little bit of oil froth, and smell the aroma of oil and salt, then it would be quite a luxurious way for the fishermen in Zhouzhuang to eat.

　　 Like the chef of Tianying Inn, he stir-fried the braised crucian carp in an iron pan with a spoonful of oil, a handful of salt, and more than a dozen of unknown spices. The color, fragrance and taste are all. It is a luxury that Zhouzhuang fishermen can't imagine.

　　 Su Chen has never tasted such a delicious food, but often heard what A Chou said.

　　 "No, A Chou, you can eat first! After eating, you will have a bite of rice, a little vegetable juice, and just give me a taste of it. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

　　 Su Chen was a little envious, but still declined.

　　 He came to find A Chou, there is a place to stay for a few nights to avoid the bitterness of the cold at night. It is already very troublesome for A Chou to eat a small bite of food without starving to death. How can he take such a big advantage.

　　 "Why are you polite with me? I work in the inn and can eat such delicious food every day! You finally come here to be a guest, you eat first, and I eat the rest."

　　 Ah Chou was anxious, and immediately pushed the food to Su Chen, as if he would not give him face if he didn't eat it.

　　 In fact, he is a young man who is at the bottom of the Sky Eagle Inn. The leftovers of the customers are scored by other big shopkeepers, chefs and those big guys. When it is his turn, there is naturally not much left.

　　 On weekdays, he didn't even have to drink the leftover broth, and he watched the broth with greedy eyes and was scored by everyone.

Only at the twelfth lunar banquet of Tianyingmen like today, will there be too many leftovers and cold dishes, and everyone will be satisfied, and he will be fortunate to get a share. This is a rare one or two in a year. Back.

"You first!"

　　 "No no, Brother Chen, you come."

　　 The two teenagers pushed around, smelling the fragrant pork knuckle buns, the small half-tail braised pork and the big bowl of rice. They were all greedy to death, but no one was willing to eat first.

　　 The last two decided to split half, so as not to shirk.

　　 Su Chen and A Chou immediately gobbled up these "delicious delicacies" and ate them contentedly.

　　 This kind of spicy and delicious, enough to make them aftertaste for months.

　　 In the middle of the night in Gusu County, there is a black lamp and a fire, except that the brothel kiln and the gambling shop are not closed all night, and there is no other night entertainment.

　　 Su Chen and A Chou ate and drank enough, they nestled in this firewood room, chatting, chatting about various interesting things about Gusu County and Zhouzhuang.
