rebirth from small pockets

The Lingguan Temple in Erlong Town is located halfway up the Wangjiashan Mountain.

In the early years, this place fell into such decline that almost only one main hall remained. Later, it was classified as a cultural relic protection unit and underwent reconstruction.

But Erlong Town was poor at that time~ Where could there be any extra funds to rebuild Lingguan Temple?

Therefore, even the Lingguan Temple after reconstruction is actually a very small place.

However, later on, the popularity of Lingguan Temple became stronger year by year due to various reasons, so it was rebuilt again in the early 1990s.

Of course, even after two renovations, Lingguan Temple is still very small.

After all, the so-called prosperity of Lingguan Temple is only for a small place like Erlong Town.

Compared with those big jungles and temples, Lingguan Temple is nothing at all.

However, the existence of Lingguan Temple still gives some people in Erlong Town a place of comfort these days.

Hmm~Okay, I'm talking about those people who are a bit superstitious in Chen Li's opinion.

But such a person is holding a pot helmet and devouring it at this moment, and even has a lot of red oil on his face.

"Hiss. Let go."

Chen Li didn't get the answer and was too lazy to continue asking, and instead concentrated on dealing with the braised pork pot helmet in his hand.

As for the locals in Erlong Town, they basically don’t spend money at temple fairs.

Zhang Guokui is a well-known Guokui master in the area, and he can even be said to be the King of Guokui.

Therefore, on the road from the foot of Wangjiashan Mountain to Lingguan Temple, you can see vendors setting up stalls everywhere, and the most important thing is that they are of high quality and low price.

"How long have you been waiting?"

However, there is an alternative among the crowd, and that is Chen Li.

Because he knew that every year at this time, Zhang Guokui from Jiulong Town next door would come to Lingguan Temple to set up a stall.

Then Chen Li stopped getting sick.

Otherwise, with his current financial resources, if he had other thoughts, he would probably be surrounded by beautiful women.

"Wrong~I was wrong!"

Both of them hold a pot helmet in their left hands, but instead of filling it with jelly, it contains braised pork.

"Oh~!"

Taking the pot helmet and candied haws, Wang Yan smiled and thanked her.

Then, he took two sets of clothes from Chen Li and the twenty yuan prepared by Chen Li's mother. Before leaving, he gave Chen Li a bag of rice wrapped in yellow paper that was said to be blessed.

After Liu Qingqing caught this scene, she instantly thought of the lipstick she applied when she put on makeup in the morning.

Hmm~ It’s not a strange thing these days for a girlfriend to twist the lid of a pot for her boyfriend.

"Water~!"

But Chen Li is obviously different~ His talent in learning is already terrifying, but his performance on the social level is equally outstanding!

After finishing the painting, Liu Qingqing felt that it was a bit too much, so she wiped off the lipstick again.

It is because of this incident that Chen Li's mother no longer believes in those so-called fairies and goddesses.

Chen Li quickly raised his right hand that was still holding half of the stewed pork pot helmet. The power of the Nine Yin White Bone Pinch was really strong.

Then there is no more.

But even so, every Spring Festival, Ms. Wang will still take her whole family to Lingguan Temple to burn incense, hoping that the whole family will be safe in the coming year.

"Didn't I tell you~ I have a lot of relatives at home, and I have to share a bed with my three sisters recently."

After taking two sips of the strong tea he had brewed at home, Chen Li took out a braised pork pot helmet from his pocket.

Therefore, the reputation of the temple fair in Erlong Town in the previous life was a little bad.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Qingqing always has some worries in her heart.

This kind of smile is not a mocking smile, but a proud smile. A proud smile.

Chen Li's mother had been superstitious for a while, especially when Chen Li was in elementary school. She often fell ill for a period of time. Chen Li's mother even asked a fairy to come and give Chen Li instructions.

However, there were many tourists in Erlong Town at that time, and this temple fair was actually mainly aimed at those tourists.

In his previous life, Chen Li would definitely eat a few of Zhang Guokui's Guokui every time he came home. Unfortunately, Chen Li didn't get to eat them many times. Later, Zhang Guokui gave the Zhang Guokui signature to his son due to physical reasons.

Liu Qingqing and Zhou Ling also held a candied haws in their hands, but they did not eat braised pork pot helmets.

In order to earn back the rent, the vendors naturally need to spread the cost to the customers.

With Chen Li's current appetite, it is naturally impossible to fill his stomach with jelly filled with Guokui.

However, in the eyes of most people of Chen Li's generation, going to Lingguan Temple is more like a kind of play.

There was no way~ He didn't eat breakfast. Originally, there was food left for him at home, but after learning that he was going to Lingguan Temple to burn incense, Chen Li gave up his plan to have breakfast at home.

On the other hand, Wang Xiaodong, a guy who usually looks cool, didn't even dare to say anything after seeing a lot of unknown people here.

Hmm~ It’s almost like welcoming the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!

This obvious contrast makes Liu Qingqing want to laugh, but she is also a little worried.

But it’s the Spring Festival now~ so this braised pork pot helmet sells for two yuan each.

Perhaps sensing his girlfriend's change in mood, Chen Li wrapped the bag he was holding around Chen Xue's wrist.

At this moment, Chen Li was holding a plastic bag in his left hand, and in the pocket were three full pot helmets and two candied haws, and his right hand was holding a half-eaten pot helmet with jelly.

"I surrender!"

Chen Li nodded, and then suddenly the smile on his face turned a bit mean.

Liu Qingqing looked at her boyfriend's devouring food, feeling a little helpless at first, but in the end she laughed inexplicably.

In their right hands, both of them held a sugar painting and a candied haws.

It's a pity that although these students have also learned how to play Guokui, few of them can learn his true teachings.

In the eyes of outsiders, she, Liu Qingqing, was the former top scorer in the municipal college entrance examination and a female literary star!

But in fact, Liu Qingqing, who is relatively precocious, is very aware of the gap between herself and Chen Li.

Although Zhang Guokui's reputation is still as strong as before, the taste is no longer the same as before.

But in the words of his teacher, a freak like Chen Li might not be born in decades.

At this moment, the chili oil was applied to Wang Xiaodong's hair.

However, Chen Li doesn't have those messy thoughts, at least not now!

Every year in the college entrance examination, hundreds of city top scorers and dozens of provincial top scorers are produced across the country.

"What are you laughing at?"

Of course, that's fine if it's just about learning. After all, there will be one or two such learning geniuses popping up from time to time.

Not only that, Chen Li even mastered French proficiently, and it is said that his mastery level is far superior to that of senior graduates in related majors.

Thinking of this, the smile on Liu Qingqing's face stopped suddenly. It was obvious that her family's worries also existed in her.

But this is not a feudal superstition. It is considered a traditional custom or a good wish.

Then~ reached out and took Liu Qingqing's hand.

Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes at her boyfriend again, rubbed the spot she pinched with her thumb, and then let go of Chen Li's hand.

But Chen Li's performance in society shocked many people.

Liu Qingqing remembered that during this Spring Festival, every time her family mentioned Chen Li, they would always have an attitude of surprise and shock. Thinking of this, Liu Qingqing felt a little want to laugh.

Afterwards, the Erlong Town Government followed the trend and held corresponding temple fairs near Lingguan Temple during the Spring Festival every year.

This is actually one of the reasons why people in Erlong Town are willing to go to Lingguan Temple to burn incense. Even if they are not going to burn incense, it is still a very good experience to simply bring their children here to enjoy various snacks and delicious food.

Going to Lingguan Temple to burn incense is considered a serious event in the first month of the year according to Chen Li's parents.

In the previous life, Wangjiashan was finally classified as a forest park, and Lingguan Temple became one of the scenic spots.

After all, it had just been breakfast, and not everyone had as good an appetite as Chen Xue and Chen Tingting.

The reason is also very simple, because such geniuses often focus on studying, and naturally cannot perform well in other aspects.

Well, it's just that kind of ordinary rice. The fairy asked Chen Li to divide it three times a day and eat five grains each time.

Alas~ I can’t help it! This is a kind of shortcoming of children who come from a small place.

As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Although Chen Li is not a beauty, in Liu Qingqing's eyes, Chen Li has almost no shortcomings.

Because it’s so expensive!

But in 2000, Wangjiashan had not yet been developed, and there were no so-called tourists in Erlong Town.

Chen Li raised his hand and rubbed Wang Xiaodong's head, but

"Brother Li, your hands are oily."

Of course, for now, Liu Qingqing’s worry is not serious!

In fact, she had even forgotten this before, but the clues that Zhou Xiaoli leaked when she went abroad made her think of it again.

However, Liu Qingqing did not give him an answer. Instead, she took out a pack of tissue paper from her pocket, took out one and helped Chen Li wipe off the chili oil that accidentally got on his mouth.

Chen Li chuckled, took the bag from Chen Xue, and took out the pot helmet and candied haws.

At this moment, the voices of Wang Yan and Wang Xiaodong, who had been waiting here for a long time, were heard not far away.

In fact, the two of them really wanted the biggest dragon and phoenix~ but unfortunately sugar painting requires turning wooden sticks. Unfortunately, they did not have such good luck.

"You didn't sleep well last night either?"

Although Lingguan Temple is not big, it is very lively during the Spring Festival every year.

At least half of the Guokui sellers in Huilong County are his apprentices.

No matter how she looked at it, it was hard to imagine that this guy holding a pot helmet and gobbling up food at this moment was actually a young rich man with a net worth of over 100 million.

After all, times are progressing and people’s need to pray to gods and worship Buddha is no longer that great.

Wang Xiaodong, who looked a little shy just now, exploded instantly.

Liu Qingqing gave her boyfriend a look, but she still unscrewed the thermos bottle she brought from Chen's house.

Unlike children in big cities, they have many opportunities to come into contact with society since childhood.

Of course, the temple fair held in Erlong Town at that time was not just for the sake of the New Year, but to make money.

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

Then the fairy girl made calculations with her fingers for a long time and said a lot of words that ordinary people couldn't understand.

However, this increase is still acceptable to most people.

Only then did Chen Li realize that when he and Liu Qingqing "surrendered" just now, they accidentally got some chili oil on their hands.

Many young people will even meet up to visit Lingguan Temple during the Spring Festival.

The sugar painting in Chen Xue's hand is a monkey, while the sugar painting in Chen Tingting's hand is a naive little pig.

"What's wrong?"

At this moment, Chen Li's lips looked particularly red because of the chili oil.

Just talking about the taste of Guokui, the Guokui made by Zhang Guokui is the most authentic.

“Fortunately, the bed I ordered this time is super big!”

Even in other counties or districts in Nancheng, there are many pot helmet sellers who were students taught by him.

After all, the vast majority of geniuses who are talented in learning often do not perform well on a social level.

However, Guokui is relatively dry. After eating one Guokui, Chen Li felt a little thirsty.

Chen Li was a little confused by Liu Qingqing's laughter. He looked at Liu Qingqing and wanted to wait for an answer.

With a little force on his arm, he pulled Liu Qingqing toward him, and then whispered:

My boyfriend has been unanimously recognized by his family. They even recognized Chen Li to the extent that they felt that Liu Qingqing was worthy of Chen Li.

"Yes~!"

In fact, many people of the older generation have some superstitions.

Eat it raw!

But how can such a method be effective? Chen Li still gets sick from time to time.

"Well!"

In fact, it is very normal for Liu Qingqing to have such worries~ After all, Chen Li has long been a favorite in the eyes of countless people.

This was also the only activity with a strong New Year flavor in Erlong Town at that time.

To put it bluntly, Chen Li's physical fitness was not very good when he was a child, and his resistance was weak. However, under the supervision of his old man, Chen Li's physical fitness improved after long-term exercise, and he naturally stopped getting sick.

This kind of Guokui with braised pork is only 50 cents more expensive than the one with jelly in normal times.

At that time, the road from the foot of Wangjiashan to Lingguan Temple would be divided into countless stalls by the government, and then these stalls would be rented out to vendors at high prices.

At this moment, when I saw Chen Li's lips that looked like they were wearing lipstick, my mood suddenly became better again.

In fact, up to now, except for those of the older generation who are still a little superstitious, most people who go to Lingguan Temple to burn incense are like this.

Just like Chen Xue and Chen Tingting at this moment, their movements at this moment are very similar.

Later, Chen Guofu, who had been a soldier, couldn't bear it anymore, so Chen Guofu began to supervise Chen Li to exercise every day, running, standing in a military posture, and walking in goose steps. After that, he took Chen Li to play basketball in the middle school next to him.

Hmm~ He bought this for Wang Yan and Wang Xiaodong.

To be honest, Chen Li can still control his desires now.

For example, his grandmother, and even his aunt.

In just one and a half years, Chen Li's wealth has grown rapidly at an exaggerated or even outrageous rate.

Liu Qingqing on the side also stopped laughing at this moment, and just looked at her boyfriend with a smile.

In one year, Chen Li not only mastered the undergraduate knowledge of German and English, but even greatly exceeded the knowledge that undergraduates in these two majors should master.

If nothing else, the long stretch of various food stalls here is worth a trip here for people from Erlong Town during the Spring Festival.

This is embarrassing! Liu Qingqing next to her quickly took out a tissue and planned to help Chen Li and Wang Xiaodong wipe it.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Chen Li.

"Yo~Chen Li?"

"What a coincidence, you also went to Lingguan Temple to burn incense?"

Chen Li turned around and found that the person coming was a spirited young man he had just met before the Chinese New Year.

Tang Bo!
