Within three days.
The ten cavalry soldiers were divided into ten groups, and they ran around the town for three days with big flags with red background and gold letters. It was almost unknown to everyone. Even the Tianchi Army was spreading rumors that it was
Baiweixuan has delicious food here again.
Three days later.
Baiweixuan reopens and launches Chongqing hot pot.
On this day, people have been coming to dine since nine o'clock in the morning. People found that the main building of Baiweixuan seemed to have been remodeled. Many air vents were added to the top of the building, and the table top was also remodeled. The middle of the table was hollowed out, and the bottom of the table was hollowed out.
There is a charcoal fire and a large basin placed on top. The base ingredients are poured in and cooked to give off a spicy smell.
Some people even noticed that the legendary old swordsman Han Buyu, who often went down to Beishan to kill monsters, was temporarily hired by Baiweixuan, wielding his sword like rain in the kitchen, and even refining it in Yun
All the natal flying swords in the sword lake were sacrificed, but all the old swordsman asked for was that Baiweixuan would provide him with endless hot pot for three meals a day.
At noon, it was crowded.
…
Lin Zhao personally sat down to explain to everyone the cooking time of each dish. For example, the pig brain flower takes a stick of incense to eat, while the tripe is very fast and can be eaten in just a few breaths.
, very delicious and extremely fresh, and the cooking time for various dishes is posted on the table in the restaurant, which is very accurate.
Not long after, a cavalry troop came to the town from afar and stopped in front of Baiweixuan. They had bright swords and armor and surrounded Baiweixuan with heavy troops.
"What's wrong?"
Sister-in-law Qing'er's beauty turned pale.
Jia Zhong also frowned: "Why are the people from the army coming here?"
"fine."
Lin Zhao shook his head, he understood that Chu Huaixi would definitely not look for trouble.
Sure enough, surrounded by many cavalry, Chu Huaixi rode up with a woman side by side. It was the commander of the Suzaku Camp guarding Shanhaiguan, Shi Yu, while Chen Yu and Huang Tingyu followed beside them.
We stepped into Baiweixuan together.
"It is said that."
Chu Huaixi looked at Lin Zhao with his eyes, and said without being angry: "A few days ago, the third shopkeeper's shop privately hired ten cavalrymen from our Chengfeng camp to do publicity. Do you know that this violates the military regulations?"
rules?"
Lin Zhao nodded: "Those ten cavalrymen are all on vacation, I thought they were fine."
"Of course something happened!"
Chen Yu suppressed laughter and said: "Those ten cavalrymen have been punished to pick up horse manure for three days. As for you, Lin Zhao, your business is very prosperous. You have ruined my ten brothers from Chengfeng Camp by picking up horse manure."
Horse manure, shouldn’t you show something?”
"I understand, I understand."
Lin Zhao nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Shuai Chu, the Marshal of the Young Master's Palace, and Sister Chen Yu and Lao Huang, please come and try our new Chongqing hot pot. This meal is mine, and I guarantee your satisfaction."
, Lao Jia, why are you so stupid? Quickly clear out the private room in the side room upstairs and move a table in, right?"
"Okay, okay!"
Jia Zhong immediately took two boys to move the table.
Chen Yuze smiled and snapped his fingers and said: "Let's get on the road, Lin Zhao!"
“Naturally!”
Lin Zhao stood at the door and clasped his fists one by one: "Commander Chu! Commander-in-Chief of the Young Master's Palace!"
"Um."
Chu Huaixi walked up the stairs with a smile on his face, while Young Master Yu tilted his head and glanced at Lin Zhao, with a smile on his lips and said: "I heard that you are only fourteen years old? A martial artist in the Four Realms, you are amazing..."
"It all depends on Chu Shuai's cultivation and my own efforts!" Someone said shamelessly.
Young Master Yu chuckled, walked quickly to catch up with Chu Huaixi, and said: "Shuai Chu, this boy named Lin Zhao is quite interesting. He is lively and has a solid foundation in cultivation. He is really a leader in your small town.
There are many top geniuses, this Lin Zhao... why don't you transfer them to me? Our army still lacks an army strategist, and I think he is good."
"Young Master..."
Chu Huaixi smiled and said: "Commander, you are just kidding me. This kid Lin Zhao is the leader among the younger generation in our town, and he will definitely be a key figure in our Tianchi Army in the future. Commander-in-Chief's Suzaku Camp is full of talented people, so there will be no shortage of talents."
Him alone? Besides, isn’t the Suzaku Battalion all-female soldiers? What does it look like if we add Lin Zhaoxiang?”
"Yo~~~"
Young Master Yu chuckled: "After I first arrived in the treasure land, Commander Chu always asked for people and things. I didn't expect that he was stingy here with Lin Zhao. Come to think of it... Commander Chu also valued this son very much. After all,
If I don’t, I won’t take away people’s love.”
"Thank you so much, Commander-in-Chief, Young Master!"
Chu Huaixi clasped his fists and smiled: "This meal is mine!"
"Lin Zhao said he would like to invite this meal. Does Chu Shuai want to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha?"
"Oh, I almost forgot about this, then the next meal is mine."
"..."
The private room on the second floor soon became filled with mist. Chu Huaixi, Shao Shiyu, Chen Yu, plus Huang Tingyu and two women at the deputy commander level of Zhuque Camp, several bloody battlefields, experienced hundreds of thousands of people.
The fighting people gathered around a hot pot, eating large pieces of meat, drinking heavily, and their faces were red from the spicy food, and they breathed heavily.
Upstairs and downstairs, there is a pleasant atmosphere. At this moment, it seems that Baiweixuan is the only center of the town.
…
In the next few days, the news continued to ferment, and Baiweixuan's business was getting better and better. Even Tianchi Army Chu Huaixi and Shanhaiguan Young Master Yu came to support it. It is easy to imagine the next business of Baiweixuan, except
Apart from breakfast, almost every meal was packed with customers, and some people even had to queue up. So Lin Zhao followed the trend and launched a service of getting a number plate, and set up a meal outside for waiting guests to eat melon seeds, drink hot tea, etc.
Wait, for a while, Baiweixuan was unparalleled in the town, and businesses such as Hua Qianshu and Ming Yuxuan on the front street were far behind!
As Baiweixuan's business flourished, Lin Zhao's income gradually increased, and his life became better and better. He even hired masons to renovate his ancestral home and added some furniture to give Xiao Shitou and Xiao Jiu'er
After getting a decent bed and stocking up on food at home, there will be no problem in getting through this cold winter.
…
This day, late at night.
Lu Xun led the donkey out of the yard alone. This time he finally got on the donkey, crossed the stone bridge, and came to the bookstore owner's door. He walked straight in without knocking.
"coming."
Qin Suihan warmed a cup of tea and seemed to be waiting for him.
"Um."
Lu Xun took a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "Mr. Qin's tea is the most mellow in the world!"
"?"
Qin Suihan looked up at him and said, "Are you planning to leave?"
"Um."
Lu Xun nodded: "I have stayed here for two months, and my state of mind has indeed improved a lot, but my sword heart is still broken. I am afraid that I will not be able to survive this test in the snowy Tianchi."
"Snowy Tianchi is a holy land, the place of ascension to the Immortal Mingyue Pond. It is indeed not the place for a guy like you with a weak sword heart. You will only look up at the mountains here and stop moving forward."
"That's the truth."
Lu Xun smiled: "Moreover, that person's aura is getting stronger and stronger, and I am afraid that the time for him to go to the lower world is getting closer and closer. Mr. Qin, tell me, what does a guy like this who is in charge of the ancestral court do in the lower world?
?Is there really anything in the world that must be done by him?"
"This person is hard to say."
Qin Suihan smiled and said: "Having been wandering around for half a life without success, a fairy sword is sent to the world. How many years has this saying been circulated in the world? Such a person... I don't know how to judge. In short, it doesn't matter if he comes,
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t come, it’s good to have such people in the world.”
"Congratulations, Mr. Qin."
"You went out, are you coming back?"
"It depends."
Lu Xun frowned and said: "If I can repair my state of mind, I will definitely climb up and fight. If not, I would rather die in the mortal world than live in this world in vain."
"unnecessary."
Qin Suihan said: "The world needs people like him, and naturally it also needs you, Lu Xun. The sky is about to fall, and the more people in the world who dare to draw their swords to the sky, the better."
"yes."
Lu Xun bowed this time and said: "Mr. Qin is right, I have learned a lesson later in life!"
"Go ahead."
"I didn't say anything to Lin Zhao, so I just left without saying goodbye. If there is a chance, I will definitely come back to see this little brother again."
"Um."
Lu Xun got up and rode away on his donkey. Qin Suihan raised his head and watched.
…
After Lu Xun left, there were only Lin Zhao, Xiao Shitou, and Xiao Jiuer in the ancestral house. Fortunately, with the endless source of funds from Baiweixuan, life became more and more abundant.
Winter comes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, heavy snow falls in Tianchi Town.
New Year's Eve, according to custom, is the day to worship the Stove Lord. Lin Zhao took his two children and carried a chicken to send the Stove Lord to heaven. After that, he placed various fruits in front of the shrine. In the evening, Guo Dongyang
He is back. As a bow maker for the Tianchi Army, he has now completed a labor service and has applied for the opportunity to go home for the New Year.
But Guo Dongyang was an orphan and was alone, so he came over with his bedding and other clothes to celebrate the New Year with Lin Zhao. A family of four, each of whom was an orphan, actually lived happily together.
On New Year's Eve, Lin Zhao and Guo Dongyang worked together to cook a sumptuous dinner. Before the meal, they posted couplets and door couplets. After the meal, Lin Zhao took small stones and Xiao Jiuer lit firecrackers in the yard.
The old people said that the louder the firecrackers, the better, as they can scare away evil spirits and unclean things. Guo Dongyang disagreed, but he still stood in front of the door and smiled as he watched Lin Zhao and his two children set off firecrackers.
Afterwards, the four of them sat vigil around the stove, eating melon seeds, and chatting about the past and some interesting things in the town.
Early the next morning, Lin Zhao cooked glutinous rice balls and dumplings, and everyone ate them together. The year was over.
…
Not long after, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Guo Dongyang returned to the Tianchi Army again and served as a bow maker.
And Lin Zhao ushered in a very grand ceremony, the hair-tying ceremony. In Tianchi Town, every child who reaches the age of fifteen will have a hair-tying ceremony under the white tree in the yard of the bookstore. During this period, Chu
Huai Xi will personally host it.
During the hair-tying ceremony, the child will eventually pray to the white tree. Once the white tree approves, a fruit will fall from the tree. The fruit is divided into three, six, and nine grades. The better the fruit, the more luck and spiritual energy it contains. In fact,
, every child in Tianchi Town is waiting for this day to arrive. A good fruit can often change his or her life.
