Chapter 99

I don't know who publicized the news of the flood. The commander in chief and the centurion of several battalions were absent. The soldiers on duty at Yanmen were in a mess, and people continued to join the ranks of fire fighting in the granary.

At the time of panic, someone ran counter to the granary and headed for the north gate. They only waited for the fireworks in lion ridge to be gorgeous. At that time, the convenient door will be opened to welcome their companions, enter the city and change their masters.

The insider's eyes fixed on the direction of Shizi mountain. Unexpectedly, Feihu mountain was the first to move.

The enemy's strength was strong. Fortunately, the arrow cluster cut his clothes and his skin, leaving a blood mark. The Cao Wu juice smeared on the arrow cluster seeped in. Although the weight was weak, as the fight became more and more intense, there were more wounds on him. Finally, the Cao Wu juice finally played its role——

Give your opponent a momentary illusion.

A momentary pause.

that's enough.

Pei Shuo was behind him. Without any superfluous action, he inserted the sword with his backhand. Even people with the sword used all their strength to hit him on the floor and severely suppress him.

The warm liquid flowed, and the resistance of the people under them became weaker and weaker.

Feihu mountain is calm.

For a long time, Pei Shuo wiped the blood on his face, grabbed the sword and got up. His legs trembled and shaky. He walked step by step to the high platform and lit the beacon of the message.

This is not enough. Counting the time, the enemy should be close to lion ridge.

"Dong!" It seems to wake up the sleeping forest.

"Dong!" The migratory birds closest to Feihu mountain flapped their wings to stay away.

"Dong!" The heavier drums flew away with the migratory birds and spread further.

The soldiers walking in the woods stopped. The front leader raised his hand and stopped, fell on the ground and listened. This time it was a dense drum!

It's a message.

"Enemy attack - prepare for war!"

In an instant, the soldiers stationed in shiziling lit torches and the towering Great Wall woke up.

The fire lit up the city wall and made these Hu barbarians in the northern part of the Great Wall see that the people were crowded. The archers quickly took their place and aimed their bows at them.

What they did was a sneak attack. Now they are exposed to the eyes of the soldiers, and the two sides are deadlocked.

The leader gritted his teeth and hated the man who beat the drum to inform him of his plan. The sneak attack on the stronghold failed. The signal of Yanmen hasn't come yet.

Damn it!

"Shoot!"

The soldiers of the city wall ordered that the arrow rain fell, forcing the barbarians of northern Serbia to retreat, one high and one low. They had no chance of winning, "retreat!"

The lion ridge returned to the drum and waved the military flag.

The drum of Feihu mountain suddenly stopped, Pei Shuo's hand was too heavy to lift up, and he fell down on the battlements.

There was a ray of light in the eastern sky, and an orange red vermilion like spot was moving from the bottom to the top.

it's dawn.

……

"Fairy rich and noble cake, delicious rich and noble cake, then the God of wealth will use fairy rich and noble cake!"

On the fifth day of the first month of each year, it is the day to receive the God of wealth. The people in Nanxun town take the old and children to the Taoist temple to worship the God of wealth and pray for wealth and prosperity this year.

A Yao thought about such a day. There must be many small vendors selling food or fragrant mountain candles near the Taoist temple. She can also make some pocket money.

Discuss with Wangyue. Before dawn, take an ox cart with bird's nest to set up a stall in Taixu temple.

They came at the right time and occupied the last space under the banyan tree in front of the temple. When they carried the steamer out of the car, they saw the good faith who had finished the incense step out of the Taoist temple, and the believers who had breakfast on the other side poured in one after another.

A Yao stood on the stone steps under the tree and shouted, "immortal rich and noble cakes. It is said that Emperor Wu ate cakes for a long life; The immortal rich and noble cake has a beautiful taste and good meaning. The God of wealth likes it best! "

"Immortal fortune cake, what's the saying? How to sell it?"

Before the sound change period, a Yao consciously controlled herself not to shout into screams. Before the three pole view, the crisp children's voice spread and attracted curious people to ask.

This is the first guest. We have to get the business off to a good start.

A Yao cheered up and said with a smile, "my immortal rich cake comes from" Shu Jian immortal cake, calamus rich flower ". It is said that Emperor Wu met an old man on a hunting tour. The old man said that when he was 180 years old, he could travel 300 miles a day because he met a fairy and taught him to carve a valley. He didn't eat grain but Atractylodes macrocephala. I use Atractylodes macrocephala, Acorus calamus, yam, sesame oil, white flour, glutinous rice powder and honey to make cakes. They smell delicious and are good for my body. Atractylodes macrocephala is a tonic for immortals. The God of wealth will like it! Would you like one? "

A Yao opened the cloth on the basket and revealed the immortal rich cake inside. Suddenly, a sweet smell mixed with Atractylodes macrocephala yam floated out, and the steaming hot fog dispersed. On one side, there were several chrysanthemums, the pastry looked lovely, and on the other side, there were flat chrysanthemum round cakes, which were smooth and white, looking greedy.

The smell of honey was so fragrant that the man licked his mouth and looked greedy.

"Nine Wen a flower shaped rich cake and three Wen a cake shaped rich cake."

The man cried, "so expensive? The meat bun is only three Wen. You sold three Wen for a cake. Little girl, no one patronizes you in this business. "

No matter how he bargained, ah Yao always shook her head and refused to let go of the price reduction: "my fairy rich and noble cake is not only to fill the stomach and satisfy hunger, but also to worship the God of wealth. The materials are never fooled. You smell that the honey is sweet, and the taste of Atractylodes rhizome yam is also very strong, not to mention -" she blinked. "The flower shaped rich and noble cake is for God. Although it has no flower fragrance, it dares to compete with chrysanthemums..."

Before ah Yao's words were finished, a head appeared behind the man. A small bun was inserted with a wooden hairpin. He was wearing an indigo cotton Taoist robe and looked almost as tall as ah Yao. He handed out three copper coins: "give me one."

The bird's nest collects the money. A Yao picks up the rich cake and hands it to the Taoist boy.

Each cake is padded with a square cut Zongye. Don't worry. After putting it for a long time, the cake will stick to one piece, which can be directly held by the guests.

The little Taoist boy took a bite on the spot, his eyes lit up, ate three or two bites, licked his fingertips, looked at the immortal rich and noble cakes in the basket, obviously didn't eat enough, turned his eyes a few times, and handed out nine copper plates: "the taste is still rich, little sister, please have another chrysanthemum, I'll take it back for God."

The chrysanthemum like rich cake is somewhat different from the cake like one. Under the paper bowl, a few pieces of Zongye cut into strips and green leaves are added to make it look like nine sections of Acorus calamus. The chrysanthemum like rich cake is gently placed on it by a Yao. The Taoist boy also said it looks good, and happily holds it back to Taixu temple.

"Well, give me the same." The people next to him saw that the Taoist boy's food was delicious. The smell was like a feather stirring at the tip of his nose, which made the greedy insects in his stomach spin and make a sound. Although three Wen was a little expensive, they could eat something good in the first month. Later, they could take the cake made of chrysanthemums to show their face in front of the God of wealth, and they could eat it after worship.

He comforted himself and took out twelve Wen.

Just one bite, the feeling of meat pain was instantly cured by the pastry in the mouth. The aroma of Atractylodes macrocephala still lingers, and the taste is sweet and glutinous.

Despite its small size, a Yao slightly changed the pastry when making immortal rich cake. The original recipe was to use dry yam, which made the cake feel like a kind of medicine cake from smelling it. She replaced the dry yam with iron stick yam, put the Steamed Yam into the Chung and grind while it is hot, add honey and mix well with the dough. After steaming, you can eat shashanuo yam granules.

"Give me three more!"

"Do you want to take it home for your family?"

A Yao got the answer from the guest, took out the mulberry paper and wrapped them into a small tube, which was convenient to carry in her hand.

Seeing off the two guests, ah Yao's eyes were shining and full of joy. "Bird's nest, as soon as we open, good things become double. We will make a lot of money today!"

"It will be as you said, little Yao Zhu."

Taixu view

At the beginning of the blessing Dharma meeting, the good faith is divided in front of the hall, concentrating and calming, each holding his wish to see the Taoists pray.

Outside, there is smoke, no fireworks in the God of wealth hall separated by a door, and Taoist music is surrounded. Although the number of people participating in the Dharma meeting is limited, good faith who can't enter can also get close to the God of wealth hall. Listening to the Taoist music from inside, the noise is isolated from the ear, and the mood is calm.

There is no reason for the prosperity of incense in Taoist temples.

Jin, the God of wealth, sat tall and looked at the believers and Taoists below. In front of the stage, in addition to the fruits offered, there were a small picture screen of children on both sides.

The trail boy who went down the mountain to buy snacks slipped in through the back door, crept behind the column to watch the Dharma meeting, and then was ruthlessly pulled out by his senior brother.

"Oh, elder martial brother, be gentle. Your ears hurt." The Taoist boy grabbed his elder martial brother's hand in one hand and tried to rescue his ear. The other hand did not forget to protect the "Chrysanthemum" he bought.

"You sneak away at the Dharma meeting. It's tiger enough. Why don't you give you some artillery and God see LV Zu?" Elder martial brother let go, "fortunately, you are smart enough to not disturb the Dharma meeting, otherwise hum."

Seeing that his elder martial brother had no angry look on his face, the little Taoist boy slipped his eyes and flattered him by handing the chrysanthemum rich and noble cake high“ Elder martial brother, I went to the temple accidentally. As a result, there was a little girl under the big banyan tree in front of the temple selling immortal rich and noble cakes. She couldn't help but stop and buy them. Don't say, they were really delicious. They said that they were mixed with Atractylodes macrocephala, which had a good meaning and taste. When you threw bamboo shoots before, you didn't say that your grandfather wanted to change his taste. Do you think this is a good idea? This is what the little girl said. It's better for worship. "

Elder martial brother took the chrysanthemum like rich cake and looked at it carefully. He pulled it close with his hand. The smell of honey mixed with yam and Atractylodes macrocephala came to his nostrils, and there was a faint smell of grass belonging to Acorus calamus.

This kind of cake made by a Yao once thought about brushing egg liquid to make the "Chrysanthemum" look more similar. Looking at the moon, she stopped her and said that taixuguan was not a Zhengyi religion, but more Quanzhen, and could not offer meat and fish in front of the gods. So she gave it up and steamed it to cool and then brushed a layer of honey.

Smelling that there was no problem, elder martial brother pondered and pulled a petal from his hand and sent it to his mouth.

“！！！” The Taoist priest's eyes widened. Elder martial brother, how can you do this? He wants to eat if he is not kind!

Glancing at him, the lifting master wouldn't let him get it. He quickly pulled off a few petals and continued to send them to his mouth.

"Elder martial brother, you are shameless now, do you know?"

"Thank you for your praise."

The path boy squinted, suddenly jumped up and bit off the remaining cake.

"Where does honey smell?" The elder martial brother in charge smelled it and saw one big and one small pinching each other's faces.

Elder martial brother: "

Taoist boy: "

"You are quite free."

"Elder martial brother, I can explain."

At this time, a Yao Buddha sells cakes——

As the first guest who smelled the smell said, the price is high.

Before the Taixu temple, you can buy a sour vegetable steamed stuffed bun for 2 Wen, a glutinous rice dumpling for 1 Wen, caramel, soybean milk and seven steamed dates for 1 Wen. If you still want to eat well, the small shop in front sells blood soup, powder soup, eel and crispy fried small yellow croaker for only 15 Wen each.

With a dozen words in hand, you can have a full meal in the small market in front of the view.

The fairy rich cake sold by the little girl has a good meaning and smells delicious. It's just shy in the bag.

Passers by asked about the price, showing a painful expression. They got close enough of the smell and walked a few more steps behind their hands to patronize other homes. Only a few paid for it, mostly three Wen.

The mentality is a little broken.

Let him, let him. If you can't sell it, eat it yourself.

"Our little yaozhu is very powerful. It's almost noon. We'll stick to it again, no matter the result is harvest." Bird's nest comforted her, but she didn't intervene more in her practice. She told me before she came to Wangyue. This trip is to be a little practice for a Yao.

"Yes." A Yao thinks about reducing the price? There are several cages of immortal rich and noble cakes in the ox cart, which can't be sold out. It's a loss to take back. She wants to take a sneaky glance at the ox cart and make it a little cheaper in the afternoon.

When she was thinking about whether to refer to the price of steamed stuffed buns or reschedule the price herself, a Taoist boy was squeezed out of the crowd, and his senior brother also crowded in“ It's here. "

Taoist priest: "limitless God, do you have any immortal fortune cakes in Chrysanthemum style? I'll buy all the rest. "

The Taoist priest pulled his sleeve and reminded him, "senior brother, senior brother, and round cakes."

"Then fifteen more round cakes."

The God of wealth has come to life! Big deal!

A Yao was dazed by the sudden good news. She couldn't remember anything. She was stunned for a few seconds. Suddenly she jumped up and worshipped Taixu temple. She said thank you God of wealth.

Looking back, I saw that the people around the stall were looking at her. Ah Yao was embarrassed and quickly counted her cakes: "chrysanthemum rich and noble cakes and round cakes are two cages. There are 15 chrysanthemum rich and noble cakes in a cage, a single nine Wen, a total of 30, 25 round cakes in a cage, and a single three Wen, a total of 50."

There are 15 in one cage, nine in one, 50 in two cages, and three in one. That is... The Taoist child's eyes are mosquito repellent incense and is still counting with his fingers.

"Chrysanthemum rich and noble cake is 270 Wen, and round cake is 150 Wen. Taoist priest, are you sure you want it all? " Ah Yao has reported the number.

"I want it all, younger martial brother. Go back and call your other senior brothers to help move." The Taoist priest pinched the little Taoist boy's face. He answered the voice clearly, pushed away the crowd and drilled out.

The Taoists of Taixu Temple moved the steamer back. Ah Yao settled the accounts with the Taoist priest here. Both sides were happy. Ah Yao took back the steamer and went back to the ox cart with the bird's Nest: "let's go back ~"

The ox cart left the Taixu Temple slowly, and the conversation between the two little girls came out faintly.

Bird's Nest: "don't you go in and worship the God of wealth and LV Zu?"

A Yao: "worship, of course, but you see it's noon. First go back to dinner with master, change your clothes, and then bring master with you in the afternoon. Taixu watches the true spirit and has to return to God."
