White Bone Monkey King

In ancient times, the weather was very cold.

People have limited means and clothing to keep warm.

There is no heating or anything like that.

Therefore, during the cold weather season, people always like to gather around the stove to eat and eat as soon as they are cooked. They are always worried that they will get cold if they eat too slowly.

Jin An remembered that the method of eating hot pot had been invented as early as the Three Kingdoms period.

It has a history of thousands of years.

Regarding the culture of eating hot pot at dinner parties, Su Shi has an ancient poem that has been passed down to this day -

Friends held a banquet at Qingyun Tower, with delicious food and wine.

The glasses were poured out, and the stone lions in front of the door were drooling.

It's about having hot pot together at this party.

…

Because it took a long time to wait for the old Taoist priest.

So when the two of them arrived at the store, it was already a moment after Youshi.

There was only half an hour left for them to eat before curfew.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest came to the mutton hot pot restaurant last time because the base of this restaurant suited their taste.

This century-old store is also famous in Chang County.

It's called a century-old store.

And this century-old shop is located near Man Mo Temple.

Unexpectedly, because they were just in time for dinner, and because they were close to the Man Mo Temple, the two of them found that the store was already full as soon as they entered the store. There were local diners and foreign tourists who came to Chang County to participate in the Qingming Temple Fair.

This made the old Taoist priest furious.

He has always been thinking about making mutton hot pot with a pot of warm wine. The taste is better than being a god. Even if he was offered the official position of god in heaven, he would not exchange it.

But you told him there was no room?

It's rare to see my little brother in a good mood today, so I treat him to a mutton hotpot!

Who knows if I miss today, I will wait until next time when my little brother is in a good mood and ask him to cook hot pot in the Year of the Monkey!

The old Taoist priest was unwilling to give in. After the waiter turned around and was busy greeting the customers, he looked at Jin An pitifully: "Little brother, the curfew is going to be soon. Taoist, I think it is better to just switch to another restaurant? Even if the taste is not the same, it is still almost the same. ”

Jin'an looked at the old Taoist priest and almost got angry at the corners of his mouth. Naturally, he could see through the little thoughts in the old Taoist priest's heart at a glance. He didn't find out, but he just felt that the old Taoist priest was sometimes very understanding of the world and very humane. Fine, sometimes as childish as an old naughty boy.

Jin An saw that there was indeed no room in the store, and when he turned around to leave, in the noisy lobby with diners, someone seemed to be calling his name from behind.

"Little brother, I seem to hear someone calling you?"

In fact, Jin An had already heard it without the old Taoist reminding him. He was curious that he didn't know many people in Chang County. Which acquaintance was calling him? Could it be Feng Baotou? So, Jin An turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

When he saw one of the tables leaning against the railing, Jin An grinned at the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist, it seems that our position has been secured."

"Young Master Yiyun, I never thought I would meet you again here today."

"Young Master Jin'an, I haven't seen you for almost a month. I hope you are well."

The person who greeted Jin An was a sword-wielding and elegant Confucian scholar with red lips, white teeth, and heroic features.

Confucian scholars are different from scholars.

In fact, it is very simple to distinguish.

Those who are useless are scholars.

In addition to learning the Six Arts of Qi (ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and arithmetic), Confucian scholars also had to travel around the world and kill enemies on the battlefield, which required awe-inspiring beliefs.

Beside the Confucian scholar, there was an old man.

When the old man saw Jin An, he also nodded friendly towards Jin An, which showed that they were all acquaintances.

The young master Yiyun with red lips and white teeth in front of him was the Confucian scholar and the old man driving the carriage who happened to be traveling around the world when the Taoist priest showed him the way to immortality that night.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Jin An, Mr. Jin An also comes to eat at this century-old restaurant with his friends? If Mr. Jin An is worried about not having a seat, you can share a table if you don't mind."

Young Master Yiyun, with red lips and white teeth, pointed to Jin An and said with a gentle smile.

Jin An thanked him and sat down. He had already secretly swallowed his saliva. The impatient old Taoist priest also sat down quickly.

"It's been almost a month since we last parted. I didn't expect Master Yiyun to still stay in Chang County. I thought Master Yiyun had already left Chang County after so many days."

Young Master Yiyun was gentle and straightforward. He took a sip of the light Baihuajiu to warm the wine and said with a smile: "I heard that the Qingming Temple Fair in Chang County is approaching, so Qibo and I planned to see the grand event of the annual Qingming Temple Fair in Chang County before continuing. Travel around famous mountains and rivers."

Baihua wine is made from hundreds of flowers. Because the alcohol content is not high, the alcohol is mild, light, and has the fragrance of flowers, which makes people talk about it and leave the mouth full of the fragrant fragrance of flowers, so it is very popular among elegant people and noble ladies.

"If we talk about this month, Mr. Jin'an's reputation in Chang County has spread throughout the streets and alleys, and his reputation has become very famous. In less than a month, Mr. Jin'an has solved several strange cases, including the 'Lei Gong's Corpse Killing Case'" ', there was a 'drowning case'. Not long ago, I heard that Mr. Jin'an was carrying the coffin of a white coffin that occupied a magpie's nest. The coffin that no one else could carry was done by Mr. Jin'an. Presumably this Taoist priest carried it. , is that the master Chen Daozhang who presided over the coffin-moving ceremony for the Lin family that day?"

At this time, the old Taoist priest, who had just finished ordering the menu with the waiter, suddenly became energetic when he heard someone from the other side mentioning him.

My friend, you have to mention this to me.

The old Han, who has been familiar with me for many years, no longer has any pain in his legs.

The old Taoist priest, as if he was a Taoist master, sat upright, stroked his beard, nodded and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Yiyun is a good friend of my little brother, why don't you let me, the old Taoist, do a fortune-telling for Mr. Yiyun for free. I, the old Taoist, have a strong tongue and a brass tooth. The God of Calculation knows astronomy from the top, geography from the bottom, logic from the middle, and understanding of human principles. If you can’t calculate accurately, you don’t need money.”

Jin An: "..."

Mr. Yiyun: "..."

Jin An felt that the old Taoist priest was embarrassing him.

As soon as I hear this line, I feel like a gangster.

Mr. Yiyun did not show any strange expression in person, but said politely: "Forget it, I don't believe in fate."

"Why don't you, Master Chen, help me look at my face?"

When the old Taoist priest heard this, he really looked at the other person's face carefully.

"Young Master Yiyun's Yintang is golden. Looking at Young Master Yiyun's clothes as a Confucian scholar, it shows that Young Master Yiyun is a person with real abilities and very strong abilities. He is not one of those rotten scholars who just pretend to be fake."

"Master Yiyun has a plump chin and a prosperous palace of wealth and silk, which shows that his family is well-off, with no shortage of land, houses, and gold and silver. He has had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and his family has been fed by officials."

"Young Master Yiyun, a peach blossom has appeared in your husband and wife palace. You will be lucky in the near future, and you will meet the person you like the most in your life. And this peach blossom is blooming twice now, which means that Mr. Yiyun has already bloomed before. I met the person of my destiny and formed a good relationship, and we will meet again in the near future."

"The old Taoist sees that the love fortune in Young Master Yiyun's Couple Palace is getting more and more prosperous, and it is gradually affecting the nearby Life Palace, Baoshou Palace, and Migration Palace. It shows that the other party is not only the person that Young Master Yiyun likes, but also the one who is destined to be noble. Although Young Master Yiyun You will encounter some ups and downs and disasters, but with the help of the noble people in your destiny, you will be able to turn them into good fortunes, and step by step, your dreams will come true, and you will achieve higher achievements."

The words of the old Taoist priest were always saying good things to praise others.

As the saying goes, good words are pleasing to the ear.

This is very consistent with human psychology.

Both Mr. Yiyun and Jin An listened and laughed at the old Taoist's words, but no one took them seriously.

At this moment, several plates of mutton-boiled meat ordered by the old Taoist priest were brought to the table by the waiter, and the group hurriedly started to cook the mutton-boiled meat.

The old Taoist priest, who was originally scrupulous but hesitated before he finished what he said, took away half the plate of mutton when he saw the younger brother. He was worried that his hands were too slow and the mutton would be gone after a while. He was still hesitant to take it. If his words were interrupted, he rolled up the sleeves of his Taoist robe and began to compete with Jin An for the mutton.
