"Demon Food"
Author: Cai Wangwang
Brief introduction:
The business of the tasteless hall is prosperous because people in this world always have many wishes.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, resentment and hatred, love and hatred are scattered, life and death are separated.
The joys and sorrows of these people are the favorite of the goblins in the Tasteless Pavilion.
Long Sanniang is stunning, a shop owner, a good cook, and a leader.
Her life was long and boring, so she opened a restaurant, listened to stories, and picked up a handsome little general by the way.
Open the most distinctive shop and find the wildest lang.
Come on, as long as you follow the lights on that long street to find the Odorless Pavilion, there is nothing you can't do, just ...... You can afford it.
Excerpts:
The business of the tasteless restaurant is booming, although the hour is not early, there are still so many tables of diners, chatting about right and wrong.
The boss, Long Sanniang, was sitting at the counter, holding a book and reading. The book jacket is folded and it is not possible to see what it is.
If asked, she would just say it was a book of gossip.
If you can read and break words, you are not an ordinary woman. Although no one knows what the origin of this Long Sanniang is, I just vaguely heard that it is a woman from a large family from the south.
Just because her fiancé died, she didn't marry anymore, and here, with her mother's brothers, she started a small business. I have been here in Yen Ching Restaurant for seven or eight months. It's kind of rooted.
"Sanniang, in this March, you should eat some fresh things, but what are the good things? I'm here at this time, but it's too late? A slightly chubby man smiled and sat down to ask.
"It's the right time for Jiang Yuan to come out, during the day, Aunt Sun's family sent a dozen or so big goose eggs, just some fresh dishes, I'll go and make them for you. It's hard to do business. Long Sanniang smiled.
"Oh, today I can bother Sanniang to cook by herself! That's a blessing for me! Jiang Yuanwai laughed.
Sanniang just smiled and went into the back kitchen to get busy.
Although she really doesn't look like a person who can go into the kitchen, and she doesn't usually cook, she does have good cooking skills.
In the kitchen, Aunt Hu smiled: "Sanniang cooks herself?" ”
"Well, I'll cook a few dishes." Sanniang said, took out a goose egg from the basket on the shelf, thought about it and added another one.
In the basket on the ground, there are toons that I bought this morning, which have been washed and dried.
Beat the goose eggs in a large bowl and stir them together, and sprinkle the chopped toons into them. Add salt and stir well.
Put it in one place first.
Pack them up, and the marinated rooster is steamed directly in the pot.
This little rooster is from that year, but it is only five or six months, it is not big, and the meat is very tender.
It doesn't need to be too strenuous, and it tastes great when eaten steamed.
I took a handful of dried chili peppers from the shelf, chopped them into minced pieces, chopped a head of garlic, sprinkled some ripe sesame seeds, and cut a pinch of green onions. A spoonful of pesto, half a spoon of salt. A pinch of ground peppercorns.
Finally, pour it with rolling soybean oil.
The spicy smell came out.
Then knead the dough and wrap it with the stuffing that was chopped before.
The stuffing is pork with shepherd's cabbage.
Place it in a small pot dedicated to scones and bake it slowly.
Then mix a plate of bitter herbs, dripping with sesame oil, and pour aged vinegar. Scoop in a scoop of the spicy seasoning.
At this point, it's time to boil the pan and fry the goose eggs.
The soybean oil boils, puts the mixed toon goose eggs into the pot, stabs it, and fills the house with fragrance.
Even the diners in front of them could already smell the aroma.
The finished goose egg toon is a thick round cake that sits right on a plate.
At this time, the steamed chicken is also out of the pot, and in addition to the taste of the chicken itself, there is also a faint smell of medicine, which is mixed with the smell of wild ginseng.
At this time, the little rooster pulled it lightly and pulled the chicken leg down.
It's delicious with a spicy sauce.
Jiang Yuanwai's saliva came down. I picked up the chopsticks very satisfied: "Ouch, Sanniang's craft!" Ordinary things are made out of the ordinary! ”
The reason why the tasteless restaurant can be opened here is because of the unique cooking methods.
Whatever ingredients are cooked here, it's delicious.
Different from those delicacies in the big restaurants in the city, the tasteless restaurants are more home-cooked dishes.
But it can really move people's hearts.
With Jiang Yuanwai's satisfaction and praise, several tables in the store that have not left have asked for this goose egg toon cake.
Long Sanniang smiled and asked Aunt Hu to do it.
Instead, he commanded Xiao Er to send a plate to the scholar in the corner.
The scholar raised his head and looked at the shopkeeper with a pale face, wanting to laugh, but he was extremely stiff.
Xiao Er smiled and didn't care.
And so many people in the store didn't pay much attention to the fact that there was such a person in the corner.
At this time, it was March of the first year of the Great Yuan Chengkang. It is the time when everything flourishes.
During the Chengxuan period of the Great Yuan, there was a flood in the south and a drought in the north.
The old emperor has run out of gas and travels westward with a crane.
When the young emperor ascended the throne, he was called Emperor Chengkang.
After a whole year, he finally sent the coffin of the old emperor out of Yen Ching Restaurant. Although the northern steppes are ready to move. There are still victims in the south, but the people of Yen Ching Restaurant have always been forgetful.
They were born at the feet of the Son of Heaven and lived in abundance, so where can they care so much? The old emperor is dead, and there is still the little emperor, life is still the same.
Yen Ching Restaurant is wealthy, knows how to eat, and is good at playing.
Thanks to the efforts of several generations of emperors, there has never been a curfew in this Yen Ching Restaurant, so it can be called a city that never sleeps.
On Nanping Street, there are also several large and small restaurants.
This tasteless restaurant is just around the corner. It's not a very good store, but it's doing well.
It is a small two-storey building with a courtyard and a row of houses at the back.
Although Long Sanniang, the owner of the Tasteless Pavilion, is a woman, she has also gained a foothold here. There is also a cook in the store who is Aunt Hu, who is said to be the aunt of Long Sanniang, and she is also a widow in her early years.
She also has two sons, one is the bookkeeper and the cook, and the other is the second child who runs the hall.
In addition, there is also a relative who is the head catcher of Jing Zhaoyi Mansion in Yen Ching Restaurant, and the head catcher is nothing. But after all, it's a land snake.
It's easy and no one is looking for trouble.
The tasteless hall has been open for seven or eight months, and it is very lively every day.
At night, although this Nanping Street is not as prosperous as the business on the side of the Liang River, there are more boats on the river. There are also various green buildings and Chu halls around.
However, the business in the store is still good, but at this time, it is not early.
By the time Jiang Yuanwai was full and had to leave, there were already few people in the store.
Jiang Yuanwai wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and smiled: "Remember, it just so happens that I have something to do today." A few days later, on my mother's birthday, I invited the troupe of Yanyunlou. I also want to invite Sanniang to cook at home at that time? ”
"Naturally, it's just that there are only a few of us, and you're afraid you can't be busy doing such a big thing at home, right?" Long Sanniang was smiling and kind.
"Naturally, we can't just ask a few of you to be busy, we have prepared most of the things, and we have the help of the chef in the house, so you only need to take care of a few tables of important guests." Jiang Yuanwai said with a smile.
"Okay, then when the time comes, I'll just take someone there on time." Long Sanniang said.
Jiang Yuanwai patted his belly and walked away satisfied.
He comes often, and he doesn't settle the bill every time, he keeps the account first, and then settles it every month.
Never pay off.
After Jiang Yuan left, several tables in the store also left one after another.
In the end, only the man who looked like a scholar in the corner was still sitting.
The few side dishes in front of him didn't move, except for the plate of goose egg toon cakes, which were eaten cleanly.
Although there were still many people on the street, gradually, Nanping Street was quiet.
The lights outside weren't as bright as they used to be.
Xiao Er Changsheng also extinguished the lights in the store a few times, and the entire lobby dimmed in an instant.
"This gentleman, haven't you eaten yet?" Changsheng walked over with a smile.
The man opened his mouth and said hoarsely for a long time, "Eat well." ”
"Now that I've eaten, it's time to go back." Immortal Dao.
"Should I go...... Where? The man seemed to ask about immortality, and it seemed to be talking to himself.
"Go back to whence you came from. I've got a guiding lamp that can give you a ride, but you'll need to trade it for something. Long Sanniang's crisp and beautiful voice is different from before.
Even the appearance is a little different.
It's obviously an ordinary clothes hairpin ring, and its appearance is beautiful, but it's far from Allure.
But at this moment, she came in from behind, as if she had fallen from the sky.
The scholar-like man felt like something had been knocked on his head.
It hurt for a moment, and then it gradually became clearer.
He slowly got up and made a long gesture: "Student Liu Shushu, a person from Zhangzhou." Lost so far, I hope that the lady will guide me. ”
"Zhangzhou Liu Shushu?" Changsheng laughed: "This is interesting." ”
As he was talking, Zhang Zhutou suddenly came.
"What's interesting?"
"Ha, look, is this the real Li Kui, or is this a fake Li ghost? This one said that he was Liu Shushu of Zhangzhou. Changsheng smiled.
Zhang Zhutou looked at the ...... 'person' in front of him and frowned: "Zhangzhou Liu Shushu? ”
"The student is Liu Shushu of Zhangzhou, I don't know ...... rank"
The scholar frowned slightly.
Long Sanniang stretched out her hand and tapped it lightly on his eyebrows.
Like rippling water, Liu Shushu was in a trance for a moment, and the past rolled into his brain like a cloud of smoke.
After a long time, his face became paler, and his body gradually became transparent: "I...... Dead ......"
"You are naturally dead, and the current eldest princess is Liu Shushu of Zhangzhou, and she is also a Tanhualang who went to the year. The title of the gold list, the candles in the cave room, and the pride of life. Long Sanniang sat on the chair on the side and smiled softly.
She said this, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with her.
Liu Shushu in front of him trembled, and the ground was wet in a short time.
His whole body was wet, and his face was distorted and hideous.
"Have you thought about it? Do you want me to take you home? Long Sanniang asked.
"No...... No, it's ...... Who killed me? Who am I? Who is Liu Shushu? Liu Shushu trembled even more.
Long Sanniang got up and grabbed a small handful of cassia seeds in the white porcelain jar behind the counter.
He picked up a pot of hot water and brewed a cup of tea.
I personally took it to Liu Shushu: "Drink a cup of tea with a clear heart and clear eyes." ”
Liu Shushu gradually stopped shaking, and when he stopped shaking, the water stains on the ground gradually dried up. It's like there's never been one.
He drank the cup of piping hot tea, and he didn't feel hot at all.
Even the cassia at the bottom of the cup was swallowed by him.
After a long time, he exhaled slowly, and his body condensed a lot: "Thank you, lady." ”
"Good and evil are rewarded." Long Sanniang said.
"I can't see it, so what can I do if there is a report? Ask the lady to help me. Liu Shushu has completely calmed down.
"Since you insist on doing so, give me half of your blessings in the next life." Long Sanniang said.
"Good! The lady took it. Liu Shushu agreed very happily.
"Then you can go and see that Liu Shushu." Long Sanniang waved her hand lightly, and the person in front of her disappeared.
Zhang Zhutou sighed: "Why bother, although he died young, but his life expectancy is like this, why do you need to fold the blessings of the next life?" ”
"That's always the way the world goes. Just look at the present. Long Sanniang smiled: "Second brother is hard, I just made goose egg toon cakes, and some are brought to you." ”
Zhang Zhutou was busy and happy: "If I can eat what Sanniang made you, then I am here today!" ”
Soon, Zhang Zhutou and the first few got together to eat.
Zhang Zhutou likes secular life, he experiences the birth, old age, sickness and death of mortals, and has his own set of cultivation methods.
In this Yen Ching Restaurant, it has also been two hundred years. Watch it flourish and watch it die.
There are no permanent people in the tasteless hall.
Mrs. Hu is a thousand-year-old poplar that has become a demon, and the account room is open, saying that it is Mrs. Hu's eldest son, but in fact she is also a camphor tree demon. He was taciturn, but very capable.
Xiao Er Yu Changsheng is an elm tree that has become a essence, and he used to grow in the palace of the previous dynasty. It's just that because it's not pleasing, it's transplanted out.
The youngest, lively and likable.
The prototype of Zhang Zhutou is probably only known to Long Sanniang.
But no one knows the origin of Long Sanniang. Even the big and small monsters in the store are not very clear.
It's not the first time they've come to the world to open a restaurant, it's just that the mountains are lonely, so they come to the world for a walk.
Earn some joys and sorrows, and take some good fortune.
A person's life is short for a few decades, but there are many joys and sorrows that the demon clan does not have, which is really interesting.
Long Sanniang went back to the backyard to rest.
Yu Changsheng sat with his head propped up and talked with Zhang Zhutou growing up.
"I don't know how Liu Shushu felt when he went and saw that his own father and mother were there?"
Zhang Zhutou drank tea and smashed his mouth: "Everyone in the world is bitter......"
This is his mantra.
Zhang Da was silently peeling peanuts. This is last year's peanuts, but they're still fresh.
Its practical demon method doesn't have to be so strenuous, but the demons in the Tasteless Pavilion never use demon methods on these things.
In the eldest princess's mansion, in an exquisite courtyard, an old couple with gray hair sat opposite each other.
The old wife sighed: "At noon, I dreamed of ...... again"
Old man Liu didn't speak, just drank tea in silence.
"Why don't you go to the temple outside the city and burn incense......," the old wife added.
Old man Liu shook his head: "For no reason, what are you doing burning incense?" ”
"But Ming'er ...... him"
"Ming'er, he's an official in the court, it's good!" Old man Liu suddenly raised his voice: "You and I are now the wives of the old lady, can you go and burn incense casually?" ”
The old wife sighed, bowed her head and stopped talking.
Outside the window, Liu Shushu's body began to become transparent again, and began to drip water.
Tick, tick, drop by drop on the slate under the window.
The old man Liu in the house suddenly asked, "Is it raining?" ”
"Master, it hasn't rained." The maid at the door said impatiently.
These two rednecks are really annoying, when are they gone, and they haven't slept yet. and she will also be served.
She's a princess, so why should she serve these two pickles?
"It's not early, go to sleep! Don't talk this nonsense in the future! Mrs. Liu reprimanded his old wife.
The old wife could only nod, her eyes were red, but she didn't say anything.
It's just that as soon as Liu Wang fell asleep, he dreamed of Liu Shushu who was dripping with water.
He stood three paces away, his lips open and closed, but no sound came out. The water on his body seemed to be dripping endlessly.
His face was pale and distorted, with pain and hatred.
Liu Wang woke up from his dream: "Ahhh ”
"What's it called?" When people are old, they feel young, and Mrs. Liu is awakened and angry.
"I dreamed of Ming'er, Ming'er he came, dripping water, he ......" Liu Wang was so frightened that he trembled.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Ming'er, he's fine. Don't be cranky! Dreams are all fake. Mrs. Liu frowned.
"Master, it's not too early." The girl outside the door was very impatient.
These two old things are really god-talking.
Liu Wang was about to speak, and as soon as he lowered his head, he saw a puddle of water stains on the ground.
She screamed and fainted.
In an instant, I wet my pants and got a bed.
The events of the night did not alarm too many people, and the people who waited did not go to the main courtyard to talk to the princess and the princess.
Early in the morning, 'Liu Shushu' had already gone to the Hanlin Academy.
The residence of the second elder, Liu Wang's family occasionally called a statement.
The grandfather reprimanded her: "Ming'er is in the Hanlin Courtyard, where can I take care of you!" ”
It is also rare to see a colt alone with the second elder in the house.
The two old men are clothed and fed, but they are also trapped in this world.
Since that night, 'Liu Shushu' can see a cyan shadow almost all the time, dripping with water.
There was no sound, only a fleeting shadow and the occasional resentful face.
The face was very white, miserable, and distorted.
It seems to be screaming all the time, but there is never a sound.
He was in Hanlin Academy, and he had a good future, but in just seven or eight days, a lot of things happened.
The books that needed to be checked by him were all wrong.
The booklet that he needed to write was all wet and the handwriting was blurred.
The order of the proofread materials is all out of order.
There is a typo throughout the revised manuscript.
Even if he is a colt and a Tanhualang last year, he can't be so confused.
The officials of the Hanlin Academy, who were highly respected, persuaded him to go back and rest.
But he couldn't sleep peacefully every night, as long as he fell asleep, he saw Liu Shushu's dripping face sticking to his face.
I saw the other party's lips move, but I never knew what the other party was talking about.
He was so frightened that he yelled so loudly that he did not dare to have sex with the princess.
At the same time, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu often saw Liu Shushu in their dreams.
'Liu Shushu' told everyone in the front yard to avoid it, and knelt in the court to burn paper: "Brother Shuming, people can't be resurrected after death, so you can go and reincarnate!" I will take care of your father and mother for you, I was really blinded by lard at the beginning, I'm sorry, I will do my filial piety for you. I will continue the incense for your Liu family, please spare me! If you hurt me, your Liu family will be doomed! ”
He kowtowed, with a full force. His face was terrified.
And the real Liu Shushu was standing behind him, sticking to him step by step.
'Liu Shushu' felt that his back was cold, like a wet person climbing up. The damp and cold breath hit the back of his head, maybe it was just an illusion......
He was shocked, but it was too late.
He walked to the backyard almost hand and foot and walked to the house of Mrs. Liu and Wang Liu.
The mechanical one opened the door and waved the girl away.
Then he stood mechanically, looking at the second elder with a pair of hooks: "Dad, mother!" ”
His voice did not rise and fall in the slightest, but he shouted in a dull voice, which was terrifying.
Mrs. Liu got up tremblingly: "Hey......"
"Dad, mother." Liu Shushu shouted again.
Mrs. Liu was a little scared, and took a step back: "Ming...... Ming'er...... Are you here so late? ”
"Dad, mother." The person who came just called again, but the blood that flowed from his eyes was red.
Liu Wang was so frightened that he screamed and cried: "Who are you?" Who are you? Where's my Ming'er? Ahhh ”
"Dad, mother." The fourth time someone came out.
Mrs. Liu finally couldn't stand anymore, and sat on the ground along the wall: "It's not me, it's not me, I'm poor, if you take all the money in the family to go to the scientific examination, I won't be able to afford to eat with your mother......"
"Ming'er, is that you? Mother's son......" Liu Wang cried.
But the real Liu Shushu, who was attached to 'Liu Shushu', didn't answer, but just called his father and mother again.
After he possessed him, he already knew the ins and outs.
The fake Liu Shushu is called Zhao Hezhi, and he and Liu Shushu met in a restaurant in the city. Zhao Hezhi is a very talented person, but unfortunately he is a criminal and does not have the right to take the imperial examination.
Last year, the world was in turmoil, and he came to the capital from elsewhere.
After meeting Liu Shushu, he had the idea of Li Dai Taozhuang. Deliberately get close to him and befriend him.
In the end, he took advantage of Liu Shushu's drunkenness and helped him out of the city. Tied with stones advanced the Liang River.
Naturally, he took his place. Last year was too chaotic, and the two of them were a little similar, and even if some people suspected him later, he was already a colt. Who would dare to put a beak?
And the second elder was picked up, which indirectly proved everything.
Maybe the real Liu Shushu goes to the exam, and he may not be able to get into the flowers. But the fake one was hit.
He just coerced and lured Liu Shushu's father and mother to enter Beijing. Of course, he wouldn't tell the second elder that the real Liu Shushu was dead. Just said it was missing.
Mrs. Liu actually knows it in his heart, but he is old and really doesn't want to live that kind of hard life.
The people in front of them promised to provide for them in their old age, and promised them that they would be able to live a life of fine clothes and food from now on.
And, for their Liu family to inherit the lineage.
They are even the princess's father-in-law and mother-in-law, although their son may be dead, but they have exchanged such a good life.
Such a life that I never dared to think of before.
Their biological sons, who have spent more than ten years and exhausted all their strength, may not have such achievements.
Therefore, the second elder knew it, but he also committed it.
They gave up their own son. I don't even dare to think about whether this fake is a murderer.
The real Liu Shushu was buried by his biological parents. Don't talk about it again. They're all good, it's just that the dead are not good.
Liu Shushu hated, Zhao Hezhi, who was possessed by him, kept bleeding and crying, and his face was distorted to the extreme.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Mrs. Liu's neck.
At this moment, a rooster crows from nowhere.
The voice was loud, and it instantly woke up Liu Shushu, who had fallen into madness.
He followed the pull and left the princess's mansion.
And the fake Liu Shushu fell to the ground on his stomach. There seemed to be some noise in the room.
For a time, it alarmed the entire mansion.
It was a bright day, and it was a sunny day.
When the Odorless Hall opened, it was almost noon.
Changsheng pushed open the door of the store and hung up the lantern at the door.
As soon as I picked up the broom, I saw the old Yang Tou who lived in Niutou Hutong on Nanping Street coming over with his hands behind his back.
"Uncle Yang is so early today?" Changsheng greeted with a smile.
"Ah, it's not early for me to come back from the watch, and I don't want to do it at noon, so I'll come to you for a bite to eat." Old Yang Tou looked a little tired.
"Okay, you're the first customer today." Changsheng said, beckoning him in.
However, it is true that the door opened not too early, and the first customer just entered the door, and there were many more people one after another.
They are all familiar neighbors. The tasteless hall is delicious and the price is authentic. The people in Yen Ching Restaurant are not short of money, so they should naturally come.
When Long Sanniang came out, there were acquaintances to say hello.
As soon as the woman in the back street came in, she shouted, "Ouch, I'm tired!" Sanniang, hurry up and make me something to eat, no matter what, just mix meat and vegetables. ”
Sanniang smiled: "Okay, since you are so happy today, then I will cook it myself." ”
Someone shouted that one over the other could not be favored, Sanniang just smiled and went into the kitchen.
The diet in March is generally more vegetarian.
Although it is said that the grass grows and the warbler flies, and everything recovers, but this is the north, after all, the climate is still colder.
Therefore, it is not as rich as the South.
However, in the northern spring, there are also northern benefits.
Sanniang brought in the fresh elm money sent by the little demons yesterday afternoon.
It was already washed last afternoon, so it's just right to use at this time.
The little pedicle on the top has been removed, and at this time, these jade-colored elm coins are poured into the large porcelain basin, which is very beautiful.
Dig a bowl of golden cornmeal, mix some white flour, and mix evenly.
A cauldron of boiling water with a cage drawer on top. When the water boils, pour the mixed elm money into the cage drawer.
Cover the pot.
In March, river fish is the time to eat.
The carp that has been fattened for a winter is not small at this time.
Sanniang put the washed and cleaned big carp on the board, slice the thick part of the meat, and chop the thin part into pieces.
Wrap the fillets in egg whites and a little starch, season with salt and peppercorns, and prepare the sliced magnolia slices.
Pour soybean oil into the pot, boil the oil, first add the chili pepper and green onion, and then add the fish fillets and magnolia slices and stir-fry.
Both of these are cooked quickly and don't require much effort, so they come out of the pan quickly.
When it comes out, there are three plates.
Save one plate for yourself and serve the rest.
Fish bones and pieces of fish are stewed with the tofu they just made the day before, and they are also dishes that cook quickly.
Aunt Hu mixed bean sprouts and shredded tofu with cold mix, as well as a bitter herb, even if she lived.
The staple food can't just be elm money, this thing doesn't fight hunger. So the staple food is green onion egg cake.
During this period, Zhang Da has also been busy cooking, after all, the seats outside are almost full, and it is not enough to count on Long Sanniang alone.
The dishes were all brought out, and Long Sanniang personally served a large bowl of elm money to Ma Pozi.
The black porcelain bowl is filled with golden elm money, and the freshly cooked elm money is very beautiful because it is wrapped in cornmeal.
Long Sanniang has always refused to ask this thing to fry again, and it always stains the taste.
It is not worthy of any seasoning, and when you eat it like this, it will have its own flavor.
She put down Yu Qianzi and looked at Ma Pozi: "Aunt Ma is full of spring breeze, thinking that fortune is coming." ”
Ma Pozi laughed: "Sanniang is really good eyesight, small money, small money." ”
Familiar asked: "Aunt Ma made it again?" But which one sent the beautiful girl out again? I said, Aunt Ma, you are not young anymore, but you can also accumulate virtue. ”
Aunt Ma snorted: "What I bought and sold, those are all girls who have committed crimes, why don't you accumulate virtue?" Go, go, go! ”
Long Sanniang didn't say anything more, but just brought a bowl of elm money to the old Yang Tou.
When everyone saw it, they didn't say anything, but it was just an elm money, and no one cared.
Lao Yang was happy, and the first chopsticks went to that.
The people of the Tasteless Pavilion set up a table in the backyard, leaving Changsheng to look out first.
Everyone ate later.
"Sanniang's elm money is a good thing, and some people don't know the goods." Aunt Hu smiled.
Long Sanniang just smiled lightly and didn't care.
They were all deaf and clear-sighted, and naturally they could hear what Ma Pozi was saying in a deliberately low voice.
"You know, the ones I'm going to resell here are all young girls, hey, good-looking. Guess where? The eldest princess's house! Ouch! is worthy of being served in the princess's mansion, and she looks really smart! It's much better than the one I sold last year! It's all yellow flower girls! You say I'm not making a lot of money? ”
An older man sighed and persuaded: "Even if you sell it, you can find someone to marry, even if you find an older one." Why bother pushing a young girl into that fire pit? ”
Ma Pozi snorted: "Go, go!" You know, there's a fire pit in the kiln? What do you eat and what do you wear? If you meet the son of a rich and noble family, and ask someone to take it back, won't you enjoy it endlessly? ”
The next words, Long Sanniang didn't bother to listen.
The food in the world has its own taste, but she is lazy to pollute her ears.
Some people can't stop them from going down the road of death with one mind.
It was the old Yang Tou, after eating the elm money one bite at a time, he was in a trance.
Get up and leave without paying.
Changsheng just snorted and didn't stop him.
The colt is crazy.
This is an event that has been circulating all over the streets since the afternoon of this day. How many people say it as if they have seen it.
But the colt ran out like a madman, shouting that I was wrong. Don't chase me.
Also in the afternoon of this day, Ma Pozi happily took out eight young and beautiful girls from the eldest princess's mansion, led them with a cigarette, and went to the Liang River.
That night, Liu Shushu reappeared in the Odorless Pavilion, and his body was so transparent that he could barely see clearly.
Sitting in the corner, still dripping all over his body.
Changsheng took out a stick of incense from the counter and lit it.
Far away, it drifted into the corner in a posture that was invisible to the naked eye.
After a while, Liu Shushu's body condensed again.
When the guests in the tasteless hall were gone, the sound of the street watchman did not come.
When Lao Yang staggered in, Sanniang had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Come on, come with me." Sanniang smiled, grabbed it lightly from the air, and held a bright red lantern in her hand.
Old Yang Tou looked at the lantern in her hand blankly and followed her step by step.
It's just that he went from the front hall to the backyard, but he walked as hard as a trekking through mountains and rivers.
Sanniang was wearing a light white dress, which seemed to glow with a hazy red light under the lantern light.
Old Yang stared at the lamp, followed Sanniang into the backyard, and walked towards the westernmost wall. The wall seemed to be formed by mist, and as Sanniang's lantern approached, it dissolved.
It was as if there was no light source around, and the only thing that was lit was the lantern.
Old Yang Tou seemed to hear countless voices, and he couldn't tell what they were, but they were just terrifying.
And at this time, a beautiful female voice came: "No need to be nervous, your life was originally to atone for your previous life." Now you have atoned for your sins, but you have accumulated some good fortune. In the next life, it is natural to be an individual. ”
Old Yang's voice was hoarse: "Thank you...... My lord. ”
"Although you have lived so long, your death has something to do with me, and it is also fate. I'll give you one, and I'll go well. And when you cross the river, you go where you ought to go. The world is hard, so there is no need to be nostalgic. ”
Lao Yang raised his eyes and saw that in the chaos, there was a flat boat, and there was a man with a hat on the boat.
When he turned his head again, the man who had led him and the lamp were gone.
Sanniang returned to the store, and Aunt Hu smiled: "This old Yang Tou is also blessed, thank you for sending one." ”
"If he hadn't met Liu Shushu and was frightened to death when he was on the watch, I wouldn't have sent him this one. After all, he has been lonely and miserable in this life, and it can be regarded as saving some blessings for the next life. Sanniang threw the lamp up and disappeared in front of her.
The door of the store was closed, but Liu Shushu was still sitting at the table.
There was nothing to eat, just a cup of tea that had cooled through.
"Lady, please help me." Liu Shushu saw her come in and knelt on the ground. Water began to drip down again.
"Is it worth it? If you have a monstrous hatred and insist on making your father and mother pay the price, then you will not be able to do anything in the next life. Is it worth it? Long Sanniang looked at him with no waves in her eyes.
Liu Shushu didn't answer, he was hesitating.
He also felt that it was not worth it, but he hated it, really hated it.
"I have no bones, but they are blessed in the capital. I'm not reconciled! I'm really not reconciled! Liu Shushu began to cry, with bloody tears in his eyes.
"Good and evil are rewarded." Long Sanniang still said this.
Liu Shushu's hair began to float up one by one, and the whole person was visibly wrapped in black fog with the naked eye.
Seeing is to form a ghost.
Changsheng sighed, picked up the tea on the table and splashed it.
It's like a balloon about to inflate is punctured and deflated in an instant.
"The person who takes your place will soon be sent to prison. Accept the punishment you deserve. Your father and mother will also be kicked out. Old age and helplessness, the end will not be good. So, if you don't want to give up, I have another way for you to use. ”
Liu Shushu was a little scared, and asked carefully: "What is it?" ”
"I told you to keep your current memory and be the son of the fake Liu Shushu. Born in the womb of a princess, she naturally has glory and wealth. You will also be able to take real revenge on them. It's just that all the blessings and luck will be given to me after the age of twenty. If you wish, I will give you this present report. ”
Liu Shushu responded without saying a word: "Lady help me!" I do. ”
Long Sanniang shook her head lightly: "People, they always exchange some unworthy things for precious." ”
She just said softly and said a little to Liu Shushu: "Then let's go." ”
At night in Yen Ching Restaurant, some places are lively and some places are deserted.
Long Sanniang walked on the street, but no one could see her. Naturally, she couldn't see Liu Shushu behind her.
Walked all the way to the gate of the princess's mansion, passed through the red lacquered wooden door, and went to the main courtyard.
The eldest princess dreamed of a fairy who could not see her, and a gray light in her hand was about to press it on her stomach.
The princess was shocked, and only heard the woman say, "The cause of the past life, the fruit of this life." Send you Lin'er, you cause and effect. ”
The princess fell asleep again.
After this night, there were no more rumors of horses running wild in Yen Ching Restaurant.
Naturally, the princess already knew that the identity of the colt was fake, but she was pregnant. What's more, she has feelings for this person and doesn't really care who he is.
From this time on, Zhao Hezhi, that is, the concubine, never saw Liu Shushu again. After resting for a few days, I went back to Hanlin Temple as usual, and I never made a mistake again.
For a while, everyone tacitly continued like this.
It's just that the second elder of the Liu family can't stay in the mansion anymore.
A small courtyard in the middle of the city, just like that, I lived.
The days of the princess's mansion seem to be peaceful.
And on the Liang River, someone finally found a corpse.
It's not so much a corpse as a white bone.
It's just that the joints are still connected.
His face was unrecognizable, and he still had broken ropes. Following the river, it drifted to the back of a dwelling.
And this house, two days ago, just moved in with an old couple.
It was Mrs. Liu's old couple, who got up early to fetch water, and were so frightened by the corpse that they almost planted themselves in the river.
The bones are so unrecognizable.
When he was born, he was replaced. After his death, he didn't know his parents.
In this world, not all parents will go to great lengths for their children. Some people, even if they sacrifice their children, cannot withstand the erosion of glory and wealth.
Mrs. Liu and Wang Liu will usher in their present life.
Destitute and dying.
But more people, who can't wait for retribution in this life, will naively think that there will be no retribution.
And all this, for Long Sanniang in the Tasteless Pavilion, is just a story.
When she returned from the princess's mansion, she threw a cloud of white mist in her hand into a small porcelain vase. Then throw it on the beam.
On the beams of that room, large and small containers. Small porcelain vases, large porcelain vases, as well as money bags and purses. and flasks and the like. It seems that they are all thrown away.
It's full of good fortune, good luck, health and so on.
Maybe later, there will be more.
