Thinking of the previous Golden Buddha Temple, Qing Shui accidentally thought of the little fat man he met when he went to buy medicinal herbs a long time ago. He brought him to the Qing family and lived for a while. Later, he said that he was taken away by a great monk who said that he had a destiny with the Buddha...
Is he related to Buddha? Today I also have a fate with Buddha, but because of Xiaopang’s super big body, I don’t know where he was taken. If he really has a fate with Buddha, can he become a strong man? Maybe I can meet him.
Dongshen County!
Three months later, Qing Shui finally arrived in Dongshen County. He decided to find a nearby city to stay for two days, and then go to Dongshen County to have a look. The city of Dongsheng Shenzhou was also in Dongshen County. , and it is adjacent to Dongshen County City. It can be said that the state city of Dongsheng Shenzhou is also the county seat of Dongshen County. When talking about Dongshen County City, it is also talking about the state city.
This was fine, and it made sense. After all, the general location of a state city was the best. Another city appeared in front of him. Seeing that it was already approaching noon, Qing Shui decided to stay here for two days.
Dongfang City!
This is a city with a strong ancient flavor. This is the feeling of Qingshui. It may not look like this to others. The architectural style of this city is very consistent with the feeling of Qingshui. Most of the houses face south and north, and the tops of the houses are high in the middle. The two sides are slowly reduced, which is conducive to the flow of rainwater and reduces the stress.
The roofs are paved with hard yellow and red tiles. They look very comfortable, not luxurious but have a sense of grandeur. This is why Qing Shui immediately decided to stop here for two days when he saw this city.
It was approaching noon, and many places on the street were filled with faint fragrances, especially the street Qingshui was walking on, which was mainly filled with restaurants and snacks.
Look at the roadside. There are many simple tables and chairs on the street. Some people start to make meals and snacks here to earn some living expenses. The busy figures are running around in a hurry, all for survival and for a better life. survival.
"Fresh pancakes, an ancestral craft, don't miss it if you're passing by!"
“Lao Hu Malatang…”
Qing Shui's ears kept hearing shouts, and some people came in and out one after another.
"Mmm, this tastes good!"
Qing Shui's sense of smell was so keen. He followed his gaze and saw that the smell was coming from not far ahead. He walked slowly over and saw that it was a homely stall with only fried cakes, side dishes and rice porridge.
The food seller was a woman in her thirties. She was surrounded by four children ranging from seven or eight to three or four years old, three boys and one girl. The girl was the youngest, sitting on a mat with two slightly younger boys. They were playing, while the boy who looked to be about eight years old was helping the woman wash the dishes.
Qing Shui, who was standing not far away, looked at the woman, then at the children behind him, and thought of his mother. The greatest thing in the world is mother, who would endure any hardship for her children.
This woman's appearance is very beautiful, but unfortunately her coarse cloth dress obscures most of her beauty, and excessive work has caused some small wrinkles on her face.
The woman seemed to realize that someone was looking at her. She looked up and saw Qing Shui and smiled: "Does this brother want to eat?"
"I have no money." Qing Shui said softly.
"It's all home-cooked food. It doesn't matter. When everyone has difficulties, don't blame it if it's not cooked well." The woman said with a smile.
Qing Shui looked at the deserted stalls. There were many people there, but it took a long time for one or two people to come here, and most of them were poor people.
Soon a plate of side dishes, a piece of fried cake and a bowl of porridge were served. They tasted very good, just like the taste of Qing Shui before. After thanking him with a smile, he started eating.
As soon as he ate it, Qing Shui knew that it tasted very good, but it tasted very ordinary, even too ordinary. The difference between the sense of smell and the sense of food was very uncomfortable. It would be better to not have this kind of fragrance. Surround them. It's fragrant but doesn't taste very good. The contrast is particularly unpleasant.
"Brother, isn't it delicious?" the woman asked after seeing Qing Shui take a bite and was stunned.
"It's not that it tastes bad, it's just that it doesn't taste as good as this." After saying this, Qing Shui started to eat.
Women don't know, but unfortunately they have no choice. In order to support their families and raise several children, they can only do this. Thinking about it, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Sister, do you have paper and pen?"
Qing Shui asked the woman after he was full.
"Yes!"
"Sister, are you literate?" Qing Shui thought for a while and asked.
"Know some words!" the woman said.
Qing Shui and other women passed the paper and pen and scribbled down several recipes on the paper, including fried cakes, side dishes and millet porridge, as well as two kinds of cakes and turtle, shrimp and fish soup, which were the most common and unnecessary ones. What is the cost? Finally, I wrote a sentence reminding her to burn it after reading it, and then handed it to the woman.
"It's a waste of money. Give this to eldest sister. Maybe it will be of some use to you." After handing it to the woman, Qing Shui left.
The woman didn't take it seriously. When she saw that Qing Shui was no longer around, she started to take a look. She was dumbfounded when she saw it. She could still see the formula above at a glance. The materials were all the most common ones, but she could Feeling that such a formula was absolutely precious, he looked at the direction where Qing Shui disappeared and sighed, then smiled at the boy who was washing the dishes and said: "Xuan'er, let's go back early today, and my mother will prepare something delicious for you."
At this time, Qing Shui had already gone far. The reason why he helped this woman was to help a mother. Moreover, this woman had a good heart, and the recipe she gave her was also the most common. She could only make some ordinary food with good taste, which was not as good as Qing Shui's Shiquan Dabu Decoction, these ordinary recipes taste fragrant and delicious, making people want to eat them after eating, but they are not enough to make people jealous. At most, they are about the same level as some imperial chefs, so the worst thing is It would be a good thing to be a royal cook for others.
No matter how good the prescription is, not only will it not be able to help her, it will actually harm her.
After Qing Shui had eaten, he walked around the area. The previous place was considered an ordinary residential area in the city, but now he had arrived where the rich lived.
"Today's Dongfang Family's Oriental Night wedding is a banquet for friends from all over the world. You can have two drinks and eat some delicacies. This kind of cheapness is not worth it." A middle-aged man said yearningly.
"Dong Yan, although it is said that innate warriors can go and no invitation is required, my sect is just innate, so will it be embarrassing to go there?" A young man who looked about thirty years old said sheepishly.
"Yeah, then let's find another person who is at the bottom like us. If there are more people, we won't feel so embarrassed." The middle-aged man named Dong Yan said with a smile.
Young man: “…”
But Qing Shui walked over with a smile.
