Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 5 Visitors from the Mountains
After the little servant reported his intentions, Yang Xiaoran nodded and said: "It's convenient for others, it's convenient for yourself, as long as the respected guest doesn't dislike the shabbyness of Xiaoqingguan, come in and have a rest, drink some water and then go on your way."

After a pause, he continued: "Although this Taoist temple is simple and simple, there is a clear spring in the back mountain. The spring water is clear and sweet. It is the best way to quench thirst and relieve summer heat."

"Thank you so much for this mother...ah, no, boy..."

The young man saluted, then hurried out, and in a short while, three or four young men in luxurious clothes came in with a group of servants and several women wearing veils.As the head of Xiaoqingguan's family, Yang Xiaoran naturally had to come forward and say a few polite words.

No, not a few polite words, but a few more polite words.

Although she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing now, the things in the space cannot be resold arbitrarily. Money and currency are always needed to walk in this world. Prostitutes who visit the mountains and rivers are either rich or expensive. If you greet them well, you can also have a few more sesame oil money, right?
Although Xiaoqingguan is broken, it is still a Taoist temple!

Since it is a Taoist temple, it naturally needs incense, money and land, so Yang Xiaoran also tried her best to look like an outsider, even though she is small and short, it would be a bit ridiculous to pretend to be an adult.

The visitor saw that this Taoist temple was dominated by a child or a girl, so he couldn't help being interested.One of the teenagers has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a trace of red light on his wheat-colored face. He looks like a person who has practiced martial arts all year round, which is different from the surrounding teenagers who have blue eye circles and are obviously hollowed out by wine.

This young man is also of extraordinary stature, his age looks about the same as Han Niu, his face is still childish, but he is about the same height as Han Niu, which is also rare in the Tang Dynasty.

When Cheng Chuliang saw the silly cow and the snot, he couldn't help sighing, what a man!
His age is similar to his own, but his stature is no less than his own, especially the guy on the left, who is a head taller than himself!The one on the right, although about the same height as me, has a strong body, and although she is wearing a Taoist robe, it looks bigger than me. Judging from their walking steps, it is obvious that they are also Lianjiazi. Wouldn't it be a pity to join the army but come to be such a Taoist priest?
Now my father is the great general of Youwuwei, envoys and governors of Lu, Rong, Rong, and the military of the three prefectures. He is also the governor of Luzhou (Luzhou, Sichuan). , will become a general in the future.

But what puzzled Cheng Chuliang was that these two seemingly extraordinary men seemed to obey the little girl's orders, and looked at the girl carefully, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, but after looking at the girl, he was stunned. Cheng Chuliang broke out in a cold sweat.

This face, this face is simply a replica of my mother!
Her mother is the eldest daughter of the Pei family, and she is a well-known beauty from all over the world. The little girl in front of her was born with a pair of bright eyes, her complexion is snow-like, and under her straight nose is a small pink cherry mouth. Although it is small, it can already catch a glimpse of the beauty, and it is so exquisitely carved that people cannot turn their eyes away.

No, this is not the point, the point is why this girl looks so similar to her mother?
Others were also looking at Yang Xiaoran. For the two strong men who obeyed a ten-year-old girl, and the girl was so cute, it was hard not to pay attention. Seeing that Cheng Chuliang was watching seriously, a young man couldn't help but laugh. When he got up, there was a flash of sarcasm in his eyes, he approached Cheng Chuliang, and said wretchedly: "Brother Liang, what's the matter? Have you fallen in love with this little Taoist nun? If you take her back and take care of her for a few years, she will be a rare stunner in the future!"

Yang Xiaoran's face turned dark.

Damn it, talking about people behind their backs, the voice is still so high, is it because she is afraid that she, the person involved, won't hear it?
Immediately his face turned cold, and he said displeasedly: "This is the place where the Patriarch of the Sanqing practiced purely. It is not good to offend the gods with foul language."

Cheng Chuliang glared at the boy, cupped his hands and said, "I'm waiting for nothing, I hope you don't care about it."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

The Cheng family's third son, Chang'an's famous scourge, anointed Liang's sons, and even His Majesty had a headache. Now that he treats Xiaodaotong so courteously, could he be made a fool by the vicious sun?
Seeing that Cheng Chuliang was quite polite, Yang Xiaoran felt a little more at ease, and planned to have a large number of adults, so he didn't bother with them anymore, so he asked Han Niu to bring the clear spring water from the back mountain, and said: "Xiaoqing Temple is simple, and there is only a handful of clear springs for guests. , I hope you don’t dislike it.”

A group of people were not surprised when they saw that Yang Xiaoran spoke in an orderly manner at such a young age, knowing that he and the others were distinguished, yet he spoke neither humble nor overbearing, calm and measured.That demeanor is just like a daughter of a big family, and it is not cultivated by ordinary famous families. Looking at himself and others with clear eyes, there is a feeling of looking down on all living beings, and he can't help but accept the joke. This is an expert. Children, you can't treat each other with courtesy.

Thinking about it, how could it be possible to survive in this barren mountain without some ability?Unexpectedly, I met an expert when I was traveling today. Looking at this thatched hut again, I feel extraordinary. The green water and green mountains, two or three huts, are quite like a hermit in a paradise. Now Your Majesty is eager to seek talents. Wouldn't it be another great achievement to introduce someone at first sight?
Thinking about it this time, his heart became hot, and even those prostitutes were left out, and his eyes burning when looking at Yang Xiaoran.

"Are you the three of you in this view? I don't know where the owner of the view is? Why don't you come out and see me? But you underestimate me?"

The young man is used to being arrogant, even though he has thoughts in his heart, he doesn't know how to say these words, so domineering, it makes people uncomfortable to hear, Yang Xiaoran rolled his eyes and said: "Master passed away last year, if you want to see my family The teacher is afraid that it will not be easy."

died?

A few people couldn't help but feel regretful, their nostrils turned upside down again in a blink of an eye, since the master is dead, these disciples are still young and don't think they have much talent, otherwise how could they live in this wilderness?Looking at their tattered clothes, one can't help feeling a little contemptuous.Only Cheng Chuliang kept looking at Yang Xiaoran steadfastly, as if he wanted to see a flower, as if he was bewitched by an evil spirit.

"Do you have food in this Taoist temple? After walking for a long time, I'm already hungry, bring some to us, and a pot of good wine." The wretched boy shouted again.

Yang Xiaoran sneered in his heart, what kind of young people are these anointed Liang children?Compared with the group of disaster victims, they are not cute at all!
Still want to eat something good?Still want to drink? !Eat farts!
Thinking like this in her heart, but her face didn't show it. She has been a human being in two lives, and her age is almost forty. What can a young man do?

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoran saluted slightly, and said: "Forgive me, Xiaoqingguan stands in the barren mountains and wild ridges, and it relies on its own hands for food and use. It's not easy to feed yourself, so how can we use grain to make wine? Besides, we wait for Qing As a cultivator, he asks with all his heart, and avoids drinking and sex. Only coarse tea and light food are enough for food and clothing. If the respected guests don't dislike it, there are some dry food secretly made by the teacher in the temple. It is crispy and sweet, and it is still acceptable. Tasting, what do you think of the honored guest?"

The stupid cow and the snot dared not vent their anger, and now they almost cast their eyes on Yang Xiaoran, the junior sister is too good!After studying for a few more years, it is different, and I can get along with these noble people at ease, if they...

That picture is so beautiful, I dare not think about it.

Hearing Yang Xiaoran's words, he immediately ran away, and went back to the kitchen to bring locust pancakes. Of course, even if they were killed, they would not dare to say that it was made of locusts.Thinking of the kid's obscene words just now, the two felt relieved again.

snort!Let you arrange my junior sister to eat locusts for you!

But when I think about it, I feel it's a pity, it's a pity for those few people to eat such delicious pancakes.

This junior sister made the pancakes wonderfully, for which they worked hard for several days, made a weird oven with soil and water, and went down the mountain to buy some sesame seeds, ground them into powder, and mixed them in the pancakes. So sweet, so salty, so salty and peppery, my junior sister said that this thing is cheap, that's being modest, this thing is expensive!It's not easy to make, not to mention they were catching locusts all over the mountains and plains in those days.

Looking at the locust pancakes with a snot full of regret, he curled his lips and said, "Whatever happens later, I have to let them ask for some incense money, I can't just take advantage of them for nothing!"

Han Niu nodded vigorously, and said in a muffled voice: "Junior Sister is right, rich people are bastards. Look at those boys, the eyeballs have grown out of the top of their heads, that big man is still polite, and treats Junior Sister It's still polite, but the little boy next to him is too insignificant, and his words are really ugly!"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something again, touched his head, and said with a naive smile: "But if these noble gentlemen know that the junior sister treats them with locusts, hehe, hehe..."

"Hush! Keep your voice down! If those people hear you, we're all screwed."

"Brother is right, let's go out quickly."

The locust biscuit was brought up even faster. Looking at this square, a piece of biscuit as big as a fist, the little white face couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Country people are really vulgar."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out two slender and white fingers to pick up a piece of biscuit in disgust, first put it under his nose and smelled it, a sweet smell rushed into his nose, then took a bite carefully, although it was a bit dry and hard , but after chewing it carefully, it has a unique flavor. His eyes slowly widened, and he said in disbelief, "There's sugar in there?"

Yang Xiaoran smiled slightly, and cursed inwardly: "Turtle! What's so strange about sugar?!"

The young man was a little surprised, seeing that the Taoist temple was so dilapidated, and several people were dressed in Gebu, but, candy be put in the snacks, this is too inconsistent with their identities, right?
Seeing that guy's surprised expression, Yang Xiaoran couldn't help but feel secretly proud.

In ancient times, sugar was more precious than salt. It was unaffordable for ordinary people, and it was considered extremely precious even in the eyes of wealthy families.Especially in the early Tang Dynasty, when the south was undeveloped and transportation was difficult, sugar became a luxury item. Many ordinary people probably never knew the taste of sugar in their entire lives.

Yang Xiaoran put enough sugar in this biscuit, how could it not be surprising?
