Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 413 412. A pot of dirty wine to celebrate the reunion

"Shou Chu Taoist priest."

The monk, whose wild laughter was fading away, raised his teacup.

"Please."

"okay."

He didn't mind at all that he replaced wine with tea, and he didn't care about the thoughtful expressions on Hong Ying and Lao Du's faces that he had provoked by his words just now.

Feeling in his heart that the monks in Bodhi Temple are indeed not simple, Li Zhen bumped into him.

Wine, a little muddy.

Also slightly sour.

After all, it was bought casually in the market, and it is normal to be cheap.

But to be honest, the atmosphere at this moment is no longer as embarrassing as it was just now.

Li Zhen's words may have various mysterious reasons in Xuanzang's ears.But in fact, there is only one superficial meaning.

I respect you, and you respect me.

With this respect, today's banquet will not be too ugly no matter what.

And now the smell of meat in the air is getting stronger and stronger.

Chickens and ducks are no better than geese. The meat of big geese is firm. If the heat is not enough, the meat will not be chewy at all.But if the chicken and duck are overcooked, the meat will be bad, and the taste will be poor.

Counting it down at this moment, it has been stewed for almost an hour.

After pinching, Li Zhen felt that it was almost done. After putting down the wine bowl, he got up and came to the "stove".

Just when the cover was about to be uncovered, suddenly... the people at the table showed different expressions.

Hongying found nothing.

Du Ruhui's eyes became suspicious.

Qin Qiong subconsciously straightened her back, like a tiger poised to gain momentum.

The monk's ears moved slightly.

In the end, it was Li Zhen who was speechless...

No, this... How did this all come together?

But then he became overjoyed and shouted to the empty yard:

"Come here? Hurry up, just right, the meal is almost ready, come out, let's have a drink together."

At this time, Hongying's puzzled expression just appeared on her face.

She was the last to be aware that the qi of heaven and earth was different.

And just at this instant, without a sound, an ordinary-looking man appeared at the door.

No one knows when he came, or how he got here.

But the moment he appeared, stared at by those narrow eyes, the others were fine, but the two children standing beside him felt a little cold on their backs.

Li Zhen's voice sounded again:
"Quick, let me introduce you to some friends."

He pointed at Qin Qiong:
"Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao."

Then refer to:

"Du Ruhui, Du Keming."

then:

"Master Xuanzang, you should know him."

最后:
"Old acquaintance, Hongying."

"..."

Hongying was taken aback for a moment...

But the Taoist waved again:

"Hurry up, it's better to come early than coincidentally, come here quickly...Everyone, my friends, um...Because my identity is sensitive, I won't introduce you more, but you just need to know that she and I have a lifelong friendship .All of us!"

After suppressing the smiling identity, but highlighting the relationship between the two.

Hearing this, everyone saw that the man's eyes were narrowed, and he seemed to be very happy. He said in a... somewhat hoarse voice:

"Since we are friends, I will not be polite. I have met you."

In a word, the chill lingering on the backs of the two children dissipated without a trace.

The plain-looking man walked over step by step, looked at the posture in the main hall, and was about to speak when he heard Li Zhen say:

"Hongying, you two sit together."

"...?"

Hongying was taken aback for a moment, but her trust in the Taoist made her nod instinctively:

"it is good."

Stepping aside, the ordinary man pulled over a wicker chair and sat beside Hongying.But instead of picking on her, he asked Li Zhen:
"What are you doing?"

"Why? Haha~"

Hearing this, the Taoist suddenly lifted the lid of the pot.

"Whoa..."

A puff of white smoke came out vigorously!

The water vapor in the smoke, the smell of meat, and the smell of beans mixed together, instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Including the two children, everyone's eyes were fixed on the "puff puff puff" delicious food in the pot.

Except Xuanzang.

The monk clasped his hands together, showed compassion, and prayed in a low voice.

"Well, it's almost there. You're lucky today~"

Li Zhen nodded, and put the pot of hot noodles beside the pot.

With Xuanzang around, it is hard for him to say how delicious the pot of meat is and how delicious the pancakes are.So I silently smeared some water on my hands, grabbed a piece of hot noodles, and slapped it left and right in my hands.

"Snapped!"

After shooting, he wanted to see the expressions of other people.

Then it's fun.

Or say that a man is still a young man until he dies.

Linglong's child has different pupils, and the black-eyed person can only see curiosity.

The same is true for Hongying.

Smiling, although he is disguised as a woman, his eyes are too small to see clearly.

But Qin Qiong and Lao Du's eyes became a little straight.

Looking at Li Laodao's slap, when he looked at him, the interest in his eyes gradually boiled.

And that kid Zhang Wenguan... is also eager to try.

Li Zhenyile:
"Try?"

Obviously they are two people who have left their names through the ages, but after hearing the Taoist's words, they didn't hesitate at all. The movement of the literati was even faster than that of the martial artist, and rushed over in one step:
"how to do?"

"Get some water on your hands first, so that they don't stick, and then... yes, yes, yes, yes, yes... eh... huh... shoot!"

As soon as he gave some hints, Lao Du, who was already able to paint gourds, slapped the pot.

"Snapped!"

There was a lot of water in his hands, and the noodles were a bit watery. As soon as he breathed them in, the noodle cakes quickly slid down the edge of the pot, and one end had already fallen into the soup.

"oops……"

"Don't panic, it's delicious this way, and the cake will be full of juice."

Seeing Lao Du who showed regretful expression, Li Zhen was happy.

When Lao Du heard it, his heart was relieved, and he also followed suit.

"hey-hey……"

Qin Qiong couldn't help it.

"Come here!"

"Take it easy, don't leak the pan!"

"Province!"

then……

"Oh!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Including Hongying, several dissatisfied eyes fell on Qin Qiong.

"..."

The second brother was a little embarrassed.

Li Zhenyi waved his hand:

"Go, go, go and rest. Wen Guan, try? Come, come, come..."

Looking at the half-grown child who was full of curiosity but did not dare to move forward, Li Zhen extended an invitation.

It can be regarded as buying people's hearts.

It's not...

From being hesitant and timid at the beginning to blushing with excitement after eating two pancakes, the child has somewhat let go of his nervousness.

The last pancake was Linglong's.

Unfortunately, the strength is not enough.As soon as it was called up, it fell into the pot.

Seeing the grievance in the dark eyes of the pouting girl, Li Zhen said with a smile:

"It's okay, it will be delicious in a while. ... Are you two coming?"

Finally, he looked at Hongying and Xiaoxie.

Hongying thought for a while... shook her head.

It's not that she's being hypocritical, it's just that... She re-combed her makeup this afternoon.I smeared some ointment mixed with flowers and sweet honey on my hands.It smells very good, like a spring day.

Long lasting fragrance.

Very expensive, but very popular with women.

The cheapest ones cost dozens of taels a box.And the people in Pegasus City use special supplies, which are hard to find.

Looking at the happy eyes of the other party, Hongying knew that this kind of fun must be extremely fun.However, once her balm touches something, the scent will stay on it, and it will not dissipate no matter what, at least for half a day.

At that time, this pot of meaty fragrance will be mixed with this kind of fragrance, and it will be nondescript.

It was the delicacy he entertained his friends.

It cannot be destroyed by itself.

"Ok."

Seeing her refusal, Li Zhen, who thought it was because she was afraid of getting oily hands, didn't insist, and looked at her smiling again.

As a result, he grinned and shook his head:

"Dirty hands."

"Uh……"

Guessing what kind of "dirty" this "dirty" method is, Li Zhen said to the boy next to him:
"Go get an earthen pot and boil a pot of water."

"Eh, okay."

The little guy quickly ran to the back kitchen.

Sitting in front of the charcoal stove where the noodles were boiled just now, the Taoist said:

"Everyone is here, but we eat meat, so the mage can only be a vegetarian. But today, we need to pay more attention to the vegetarian one. Mushrooms are the freshest after the rain in spring. They don't need any seasoning, just a little salt. Don't ask the mage Challenging."

"Amitabha, the Taoist priest spoke too seriously."

Hearing Xuanzang's words, Li Zhen nodded with a smile. Seeing that the earthen pot was burning and smoking, he poured a spoonful of vegetable oil into it, and poured the mushrooms into it.

yah~
Chicken and duck are stewed in the pot, and mushrooms are fried in the crock.

All of a sudden, the fireworks in the whole small courtyard became thicker.

Stir fry, add salt, pour water, and cover.

The Taoist walked back to the table after finishing it in one go, and picked up the wine bowl:

"Come on, everyone, everyone is really crowded now, and we have to start the second cup. Well... the first cup just now doesn't count. I didn't know that my friend would also come..."

"..."

Smiling and subconsciously pouted, a little dissatisfied.

After seeing this, the Taoist groaned for a while, then smiled and said slowly:

"So even though that cup is a banquet, it doesn't count. Today, the big guys met for the first time...Here I borrow a piece of Buddhist teachings: Buddha said that 300 years of passing by can be exchanged for a life of this life." Looking back. You think about it, 300 years, in exchange for a look back. How many years do you think we have to wipe? I’m afraid it’s not a thousand years? How big is the fate to know each other, to be able to talk, to be able to drink... Yes Right? Come, come, come, the first cup is a feast, it doesn’t count. This cup is a reunion. Once we meet again in spring, rain and dew, it will be a real victory, but there are countless in the world. Come, come, everyone, drink up, drink up! "

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

At the beginning, when he heard Li Zhen "quoting" Buddhist principles, Xuanzang was still agitated, wanting to hear the wise opinion of the Taoist priest who said he "knew nothing" about Buddhist principles.

But after hearing the words of looking back, he was subconsciously taken aback.

This... I Buddha said?Why has the poor monk never seen it?

The monk who claimed to have read all the Buddhist scriptures was surprised, but immediately saw a more puzzled look.

Du Ruhui looked at Xuanzang with one meaning in his eyes:
"What did the Buddha say?"

Scholars who read thousands of books were also confused.

Xuanzang thought for a while, then shook his head sincerely, meaning:

"The Buddha didn't say that."

However, the Taoist and the two who were dumbfounded by saying one word and one monk did not see the softness in the eyes of the "only" woman.

But the warrior saw it.

He was so close that he could see clearly.

I couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of my heart.

So that's the case... Well, it's a good match.

As for the Buddha saying that he didn't say anything about fate...he doesn't care.

It's best if buddies are together, alive, able to drink and eat meat.

But after listening to a passage, no matter whether it is Xuanzang or the second brother, no one cares about other things.

I just feel that Daoist's words... are really comfortable to hear.

A kind of comfort from the heart made them also raise their glasses.

Du Ruhui summed up the splendor of "When the wind, rain and dew meet in spring, they will win the countless worlds". Xuanzang used Buddhist principles to try to explain what this meeting meant to the Buddha.

Qin Qiong was magnanimous, and only felt that what he said touched his heart.The ordinary man had a hippie smile on his face, as if he thought it was funny.But the woman Yanbo became more and more gentle, with thousands of emotions hidden in it.

All of this was expressed in Du Ruhui's sincere "Celebration of Meeting".

"Qing, meet again! Do it!"

The second brother is bold.

"Amitabha, it should be so."

Monks hold tea.

"Celebrate the meeting."

The woman is gentle.

"Hey~ Let's meet again~ Let's do it!"

Men are delicate.

Hearing this movement, several people didn't have time to be surprised when they saw the Taoist raise their glasses high:

"Drink full, drink full!"

(The original poem of spring, wind, rain and dew is the line "golden wind and jade dew meet once", but "golden wind" refers to autumn, and "yulu" refers to autumn white dew. Ancient poems pay attention to the neatness of the length. If it is used in spring, it is inappropriate Kiln nature. So I changed it. Although the artistic conception is inferior, it is still suitable for the occasion. Before, some readers said that I used poems indiscriminately... I would like to explain it here, okay?)
