Qin Shen's Inn

A thick fog covered most of Dongzhou City, and the fog in the mountainous area was even thicker, and he could only see clearly at a distance of four meters.Qin Shen shrank his neck and moved closer to Hong Ye's side, stomping his feet to warm up his cold feet, and when he came out, he didn't pay attention, wearing a pair of fluffy slippers on his feet.

Compared to Qin Shen who wanted to cover himself from head to toe without showing any skin, Hong Ye dressed in much lighter clothes. He was dressed in a gray-blue sportswear from a high-end brand, with sneakers on his feet and a sports bracelet on his hands. , not like delivering porridge, more like coming for morning exercise.

"It's so cold and foggy, will anyone come to get the porridge?" Qin Shen put aside his identity as an innkeeper and spoke from the perspective of an ordinary person living at the foot of Baidang Mountain.

Hong Ye was busy and didn't have time to roll his eyes at Qin Shen. His hand touched the buckle of the thermos bucket, and with a crisp "click", a gap opened in the thermos bucket. After a burst of smoke dissipated, he I got closer and looked inside, "That's right, this year's taste is also very good, and I can deliver porridge later."

Qin Shen was chopping his hands and feet by his side. It was hard for Hong Ye to ignore this big living person. He turned his head to meet the eyes of "curious baby". , looking at someone seriously, it's hard for people to refuse.

Hong Ye said: "I have been running the inn for a long time, why do you still look at things with old eyes."

"No way, I have to have this concept when looking at the world with new eyes. Without concepts, new perspectives are not as useful as old eyes."

"...Then let me explain to you." Hearing what Qin Shen said, it seemed to make sense.

"Yeah." Qin Shen nodded expectantly, curious.

Hong Ye was about to tell Qin Shen about the situation in Baidang Mountain in detail, when there were rustling sounds in the mist that seemed to come from all directions, and it was creepy in the dimness.

Qin Shen suddenly remembered a movie called "The Mist". In the movie, a town shrouded in fog welcomes all kinds of monsters, stumps and plasma flying together, screams and terror.He couldn't help but took a step towards the door of the inn. The coolness started from his feet, and his toes curled up inside the slippers. He felt a chill from the soles of his feet up his back to the top of his head...

"Here we come." Hong Ye smiled, completely opened the lid of the thermos, picked up the spoon that was placed aside, moved his neck and shoulders on the spot, and started to work.

In the mist, scattered voices gathered together, and a huge figure gradually approached...

Qin Shen wanted to raise his voice and call Guo Yue and the others to come out. The huge figure completely "broke free" from the fog and came into everyone's field of vision... A group of red-haired squirrels, the largest head and tail together were no longer than the forearm length of an adult man. The little one is still lying on the back of the parents.

Two or three hundred squirrels of different sizes gather together, no matter how cute they are, they must be scary.These squirrels belonged to a species, with brown-red fur, big fluffy tails, long hairs on the tip of their erect triangular ears, and bright black eyes staring at Hong Ye, reverent and admiring, pious and easy-going.

A medium-sized squirrel came out from the group of squirrels. He was not the largest, but his fur was as bright as fire. The two tufts of long hair on the tips of his ears were like jumping flames. Male voice, "Master Shanshen, I'm bringing the children over to ask for some porridge."

"Haha, you guys came here earlier than the monkeys this year, you beat them." Hong Ye communicated with the squirrel leader familiarly.

The leader of the squirrels proudly puffed out his chest, and spoke disdainfully of those chirping and restless monkeys, "Last year, a group of unlucky monkeys took the lead because of the bad weather and we were late. This year But if you prepare early, you will definitely come earlier than them.”

"Congratulations on regaining the number one spot. Tell the children to take out their bowls and have porridge." Hong Ye scooped the bottom of the porridge bucket with a large spoon, and the thick taste gradually diffused in the humid air. .

Qin Shen sniffled, always feeling that there was a little bitterness in the aroma of porridge, and when the two were superimposed together, it would not be so beautiful.

The squirrels are used to this taste, and they miss it once a year.I saw that they took out many small wooden bowls from nowhere, each bowl was as big as a medium tomato, and the squirrel held it with two hands.

There was a long queue in front of the small table. After the squirrels got ready, Hong Ye had already come out from behind the table, scooped up a ladle full of thick porridge, and poured it into the small bowl. The porridge was full but not dumped, it was up to him The hands are very precise, and five or six squirrels have already received their portion of Laba porridge within a breath.

And in Hong Ye's big spoon, there was more than half of the porridge and rice.

The squirrel who got the porridge bowed and thanked Hong Ye, and walked to the side to eat in small bites.The fluffy plush tail is raised, and the cute and smart squirrel does not let down its vigilance when it comes here. When eating porridge, its small eyes look around from time to time, and its naive appearance is just an appearance.

Every squirrel is there, even the child Hong Ye in his arms is treated equally. After satisfying the needs of the squirrels, Qin Shen took a look into the porridge bucket. Half of the porridge was gone, and the rest was okay. Meet a large group of mountain people.

The last one among the squirrels to get the porridge was their leader. He bowed to thank Hong Ye, "Thank you, Lord Mountain God, happy new year, good luck, and Gong Xi Fa Cai."

"Everyone is happy."

The leader of the squirrels nodded, retreated to the crowd and began to drink porridge. Seeing how delicious the squirrels were eating, Qin Shen, who came out without breakfast, was a little greedy.

Hong Ye noticed it, and asked Qin Shen to go in and get a big bowl, and let everyone in the inn also taste the Laba porridge with the secret ingredients made by Qinglong Shenjun.

Qin Shen nodded happily, turned around and went into the inn, stepped into the courtyard gate, wrapped himself warmly, and sighed comfortably, seeing Zhang Tenghai walking towards him with a pair of high-top deerskin boots in his hands. , he stomped his feet involuntarily.

It has been too cold for too long, and my feet seem to have lost consciousness and become numb. When I stomp my feet, there is pain in the bones.

"Hiss." Qin Shen grinned and walked forward.

Zhang Tenghai took a few steps forward to support Qin Shen, "I didn't pay attention for a while, and you went out frizzy, and you deserve the cold on your feet."

Qin Shen lay on Zhang Tenghai's shoulder as if he had no bones, "I was just anxious to see the situation outside, but I didn't pay attention for a while. Comrade Zhang, what about your sympathy."

"If you continue to behave like this, you will lose your sympathy." Zhang Tenghai kept a dark face, not joking with Qin Shen.

"Crying." Qin Shen acted strangely, not taking Zhang Tonghai's black face into his heart at all, if he hadn't cared about him, he wouldn't have shown his face to himself.

Zhang Tenghai shook his head helplessly, and asked Qin Shen to support him. He squatted down and took the shoe, and said, "Lift your left foot up."

Qin Shen raised his feet, his face turned red, and they have been together for a long time, and he has never been so shy about doing shy things without shame.I felt very sweet in my heart, the cold and numb feet were held tightly by the man's hands, the blood circulated, the warmth returned, and the toes curled up. He blushed and said, "Okay, it's hot. It's warm, I own the shoes wear."

Zhang Tenghai pinched his foot lightly, and Qin Shen chose to shut up.

From Qin Shen's direction, you can only see the back of the man's head, but you can imagine the man's serious and meticulous touch. The strong body entanglement is love, and the calm care is also love. The former is vigorous, and the latter is calm and long. What you want to live is The two complement each other and blend with each other.

When Qin Shen came out of the inn again, he was holding a soup bowl in his hand, followed by Guo Yue, who was empty-handed. There was no such a large thermal insulation bucket in the inn, and the cooked Laba porridge was taken out in an ordinary pot. It gets cold very quickly and is not easy to eat.

Qin Shen was thinking that when the porridge in Hong Ye's bucket was gone, he just borrowed it.

Stepping into the cold mist, Qin Shen was amazed to see the situation at the entrance of the inn.

There is a meeting of animals, monkeys, squirrels, peacocks, big bears, pangolins... a dozen kinds of animals each occupy a corner of his sight, but so many animals are not noisy, and the smart ones are restrained. Try to restrain yourself, so there is no feeling of disturbing Caishikou.

In addition to the animals, there are a dozen or so people standing here. Among them is the Monkey King that Qin Shen has seen and Jin Chuan who often communicates with the inn. He also looked at the others one by one. The sick and charming man, the burly man with big arms, the cute girl who is innocent and charming, the gentle and stern boy, the gloomy and cold old woman...there are so many residents on the mountain, and Qin Shen has a new understanding of Baidang Mountain. .

When Qin Shen came out, he attracted countless gazes. He was not shy when he was stared at by so many eyes, with a slight smile on his lips. Unfathomable... imitating Zhang Tenghai's own style that he summed up afterward.

The humanoid ones are all monsters who have become spirits in Baidang Mountain. It is not easy to practice, and it is even more difficult in the age of the end of the Dharma, when the aura is not pure.But they would rather hide in Baidang Mountain and accept the control of the mountain god of Baidang Mountain. What they want is peace and no one to disturb them.

They are not small in strength and have been famous for a long time. Every big monster has its own temper, but temper and knowledge of current affairs are not incompatible. They are willing to bow their heads to the mountain gods, and of course they are also willing to give face to the owner of Wangxiang Inn.

Qin Shen was a little surprised but not surprised when he received everyone's salute, and said to everyone with a smile: "Happy Laba Festival, everyone, and the inn has also made Laba porridge for everyone to taste, but it is absolutely forbidden to leave early." After drinking, he If you go to the mountain to dig a tree in the future, you don’t have to complain to the mountain god.

Qin Shen walked to Hong Ye's side, told him to let Guo Yue take an empty thermos bucket into the inn, and he followed closely behind with the full bowl.

It was very foggy today, and the school had informed me that I would not go to school in the morning. When the fog cleared, I would go to class in the afternoon, but Diudiu had already gotten up according to the old time, and now he was sitting at the table eating Laba porridge with a porridge bowl in his hand.Qiu Baocheng’s strictly controlled Laba porridge is thick and flavorful, the beans are soft and glutinous, and the rice grains are blooming, sweet and soft. The tastes of different grains and beans collide between the lips and teeth, and the fusion of flavors makes people want to stop.

On the table there are beef pies baked so golden on both sides. The thin pies are torn apart and the beef stuffing inside is lightly pressed, and the juice slowly seeps out. It is oily and shiny. Qin Shen will not tell Diudiu It is mixed with minced carrots in the meat stuffing of Zhang Tonghai.

After Qiu Baocheng's seasoning, the taste of carrots will not be so strong, and the sweetness of vegetables will enhance the flavor of beef.

"Come on, let's try the Laba porridge made by the mountain god and Qinglong Shenjun together, and see how it differs from ours."

Qin Shen took the bowl from Wu Niang and shared a bowl of porridge with everyone, then took his own portion and put it in his mouth, frowning, "Why does this taste so weird?"

"It's so bitter." He wasn't the only one who found it strange, he took a sip and stuck out his tongue, refusing to take a second sip.

Laba porridge is either sweet or salty due to different customs in different places. This is the first time Qin Shen has tasted bitter.It can’t be said to be particularly bitter, it’s just the level of bitter gourd that has been blanched and blanched, and the porridge is still sweet, and it seems to be a little bit astringent. A bowl of porridge with a complex and rich taste, can’t be unconscionable Said delicious.

Qin Jing drank a bowl of porridge without changing her face, as fast as drinking a bowl of bitter medicine soup. She said: "Drink it as soon as possible, the taste will be even weirder when it cools down. There are medicinal materials prepared by Qinglong Shenjun in it, which can cure diseases and dehumidify. It strengthens the stomach and spleen, drinking a bowl will not feel so cold in winter."

"..." With such a powerful effect, what can I do? Qin Shen also imitated his mother and drank the porridge in one gulp. After eating, he grabbed a pie to get rid of the strange taste in his mouth.Looking embarrassed, he asked his mother, "Is the child okay after eating?"

"It's okay, you drank it every year when you were young." Qin Jing coaxed Diudiu, "Dudiu, you forgot, you also drank this porridge last year, close your eyes and drink it in one gulp, then eat something else to suppress the taste Just fine."

Diudiu's face was full of disgust, "Grandma, did you remember wrongly, I feel like this is the first time I have eaten this, and it tastes so weird." Take a sip, you can remember it for a lifetime.

"I must have drunk it, come on, move quickly."

Diudu pouted, raised his eyes and saw that the adults let him drink, then drink it, pinch his nose and drink it, rolled his eyes and retched after drinking, then passed out, just fell on the well prepared Inside Qin Jing's arms.

"..." Qin Jing blinked, "Mom?!"

"A bowl of porridge has a strong medicinal power, and the child will fall asleep if he can't eat it. It will be fine after a night of sleep." After waking up, [-]% of them will not remember that they drank a bowl of strange-flavored porridge, and the body will naturally resist it.

"...My brother and I also came here like this?"

"Well, it's like this when you drink porridge before you grow up. After you grow up, you don't spend the Laba Festival at home, so there are fewer opportunities to drink porridge."

"Oh." There was a feeling of escape.

Zhang Tenghai hugged Diudiu and told him to go to bed, and Qin Shen returned to the porridge delivery scene. When they were drinking strange Laba porridge, Guo Yue had already gone out with the porridge bucket in his arms, and Liu Niang, who was in charge of the spoon, went out with him.When Qin Shen went out, many of the mountain people outside dispersed, not one of the animal forms remained, and a group of people in human form also changed.

A slender and handsome young man took a bowl of strange-flavored Laba porridge from Hong Ye with a bamboo tube, bowed to say thank you, and stepped aside to take a sip. He poured it all into his mouth, feeling the warmth spreading from his stomach to his limbs, he was so excited that even his cultivation base that had been stagnant for many years felt loose.

"Xiuzhu is grateful for the kindness of the mountain god." The young man bent down to the end, trembling uncontrollably with excitement.

Hong Ye waved his hand, and a gust of wind flew out from his hand and circled the young man, helping him up, "This is your own chance, so there is no need to be polite."

There are tens of thousands of monsters who have drank his porridge, and there are only a few who can really gain something.

Even though Hong Ye said that, the young man was still grateful.

Then he queued up to get a small bowl of porridge from the inn. The inn didn't make much porridge, so everyone just ate a small bite. After the young man drank this mouthful of porridge, the stagnant cultivation base that was only loose was completely changed. , the whole body is comfortable, he broke through.

…………

……

The foggy day inn welcomed several guests, and Qin Shen registered them one by one. When he was about to close the registration book, the young man who had drank porridge and entered meditation directly at the entrance of the inn came in.The young man looks about 25 or [-] years old, with a slender figure and a handsome face. He wears a white shirt, black suit pants, and carries a bamboo basket on his back.

The bamboo basket is exquisite in workmanship, elegant in pattern, the size of a backpack, and has a cover inlaid with a circle of blue calico.

"Name." Qin Shen made a routine registration.

After waking up from the samadhi, the young man had calmed down from the excitement, and calmly said his name, "Xiuzhu."

"address."

"Bamboo Sea." The young man comes from a place where bamboo is abundant in China. He himself has cultivated for many years. He has witnessed the changes of history and the changes of the situation. The things he bought were six bamboo rats, ten catties each of bamboo fungus and bamboo eggs, five bottles of wine in bamboo tubes and bamboo worms in three bamboo tubes, just enough for him to live in a single room for 20 days.

Qin Shen took all the things and sent them to the kitchen, and asked the young man curiously, "It's snowing heavily in Xuduyuan, and it's not a good time to go to the demon world. Why are you coming to the inn?"

The young man is now very grateful to Qin Shen and Hong Ye. Although both of them said it was his chance, he would not have been able to get it without their behavior of delivering porridge.Now as long as the two of them open their mouths, as long as they do not violate the principles or violate the law, he will do his best. Just ask them the reason why they came to Baidang Mountain, and the young man knows everything.

"Boss, we are all here for the Baidang Mountain Fair."

Qin Shen repeated, "Da Ji?"

"Yes, Baidang Mountain's annual market."

Xiu Zhu gave Qin Shen a further explanation.

Every year from the first day to the fourth day of the last week before the Spring Festival is the day of the Baidang Mountain Fair. At this time of the year, goblins, ghosts, monks and mortals from all over the country and even the world will gather here. Open the big market for four days and four nights.

In the market, you can find everything you want and unexpected.Everyone coming here is not only for buying and selling things, but also for home repairers to have a platform to communicate with each other and exchange their cultivation experience. Many gossips and talks are spread from here.

The Baidang Mountain Gathering is a grand event in the realm of comprehension in the Dharma-ending era.

The big market will also bring a lot of business to the inn, which is the source of guests that Qin Jing and Liu Niang secretly refuse to mention to Qin Shen.

Qin Shen nodded his head to express his understanding. There is still such an operation. He has lived at the foot of Baidang Mountain for more than 20 years, but he has no idea that there are so many miraculous events happening on the mountain around him.Suddenly, I feel that it is not easy for mere mortals. The science they talk about is not scientific.

Tickets are also required to participate in the Baidang Mountain Fair. There are two types of tickets, one for those who are allowed to set up stalls and the other for those who are allowed to enter. Perform routine maintenance.

Qin Shen has already asked Liu Niang for the reason.

The Baidang Mountain Fair was originally just a spontaneously formed wild fair. The reason for its appearance, the originator and the exact time of its launch cannot be tested. By the time everyone noticed it, the scale of the fair had become very large, not only limited to fairies, but also There are human monks joining.

The larger the scale, the more things will happen. There have been fights in several sessions, because it happened in Baidang Mountain, and the mountain god will definitely intervene.With Hong Ye's temperament, he was naturally impatient to take care of these trivial matters, and he was so angry that he almost intervened to shut down Daji.

God Lord Lingguang, who was worried about the fate of the world, knew about this and discussed with Hong Ye. About 72 years ago, he officially took over the daily maintenance of Daji.With the development of the times, the management of Daji by the National Security Department has become more and more formal and humane.

The staff from the first section of Guoan who lived in the inn occupied a table next to Mo Chen and set up a temporary office. The clerks were Yang Feng and Qiu Xingxing. Qiu Xingxing would spend the winter vacation here to accompany his father during the New Year.After she went back, she had vaguely talked about her father with her grandparents. The two old people believed in this more than the young people, and they were willing to let their granddaughter accompany their son to celebrate the New Year, so they would not come, so as not to disturb the peace of the inn.

The old man didn't have the self-confidence that he must be a predestined person. After coming, he had no time to rejoice and trouble the innkeeper, so he didn't come, although he really missed his son.

Here in the temporary office, after entering the information of all the personnel who come here to register, a QR code will be formed on the spot, and a wisp of spiritual consciousness will be entered in the QR code, which can only be held by the person himself, just scan it at the door when entering Daji.

As the big fair approached, the inn became more and more lively, letting Qin Shen know that there were so many goblins and ghosts all over the country.

The perpetual calendar has turned several pages, and the new year has come to February 2th, which is the 7nd day of the lunar calendar. The children are on winter vacation, and the taste of the new year is getting stronger and stronger.

Villages and towns are different from cities. Many traditional customs have not been weakened with urbanization, and still retain their original flavor.

For example, on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God is worshipped.

The inn doesn't do these things, and no god really dares to take care of the inn's business, so Qin Shen won't buy Kitchen God statues like those aunts and mothers when going to the market, he is more interested in all kinds of candies.

Leading the two little guys, Diudiu and Longlong, Qin Shen drove to Yanhu Road to go to the market. Today is the last day of this market, and it is also the busiest day. After tomorrow, Yanhu Road will resume its previous Calm, it will take another year to catch up with the excitement.

Among the bustling crowd, Diudiu and Longlong followed Qin Shen. Diudiu also carried a light backpack on his back. The zipper of the bag was opened, and a white and fat little white cat rested its head on the side of the bag. Looking out curiously, the white tiger god also came out to join in the fun.

Qin Shen bought him a cat bag online, but Lord Baihu dismissed it, preferring the uncomfortable backpack.

"Dad, buy some sesame candies, Daddy likes to eat them." Diudiu is a caring little baby, and he still misses his busy dad when he goes to the market.

The relationship between Diudiu and Zhang Tanghai is getting better and better now, so good that Qin Shen likes it, especially in the [-]th chapter of the twelfth lunar month, the company "Wei Ya" of Diudiu and Zhang Chenghai at the annual meeting went.Wearing a small suit and a small tie, he tied the Windsor knot for the first time under the guidance of his father, and officially appeared as the son of Zhang Chenghai and the heir of the Zhang family for the first time... Many people who were introverted and shy for the first time Diudiu has taken a big step on the road of life, and his personality is a little different.

It is still easy to be shy and shy, but willing to take the initiative to contact new things, get close to strangers, and not timidly shrink behind the parents, it is really a big change.

Qin Shen sensitively discovered that after "Wei Ya", the relationship between Diu Diu and Zhang Chenhai also had a qualitative leap. This feeling is very mysterious and cannot be expressed in words, but it is a welcome change.

No need to mention the past, they came to the market today.There are many things bought and sold in the market, ranging from needles and threads, pots and pans, to household appliances, poultry and livestock, everything is covered.Qin Shen and the others were standing in front of a booth selling all kinds of handmade candies. They were not candies like toffee, nougat, and hard fruit candies, but traditional handmade candies made with maltose and sucrose.

There are many flavors, such as sesame chip candy, peanut candy, Kanto candy and so on.

"Boss, weigh two catties of sesame candies, two catties of peanut candies, two catties of walnut candies, and one catty of candied chestnuts." Qin Shen chose the candies according to his family's and his own preferences.

Qiu Baocheng is good at craftsmanship, and he can also make all kinds of candies, but he always keeps the chef busy. As the boss, Qin Shen is also very sorry, so he bought some ready-made ones for everyone to eat during the New Year.

There were samples at the booth. Qin Shen took a piece of walnut candy for each of the children to eat. The little milk cat "meowed" to please him. Amber stared straight at the assorted candies—there were several kinds of nuts The sugar that was made together, Qin Shen felt that the taste was a bit mixed, so he didn't buy it.

"Meow~", the seemingly immature little paw rested on Qin Shen's hand, his watery eyes kept blinking, come on, come on, give him a piece to try.

Qin Shen couldn't help it, if he didn't give it a try, his fingers would be eaten by the white tiger god.Picking up a small piece from the tasting plate and giving it to Lord Baihu, Qin Shen threatened him with a suppressed voice: "If you eat too much sugar, your teeth will be rotten. You will become the first god in history to lose teeth."

The Baihu Shenjun with the candy in his mouth froze, but the taste in his mouth was really good, which made him reluctant to let go, let it go, and eat it first as a respect. "Aww, kachack——" swallowed a piece of candy in one gulp, squinted his eyes in happiness, licked his mouth after eating, and looked at Qin Shen full of longing, Qin Shen had already stood up straight, unable to receive His eyes are gone.

Turning to conquer Diudiu, the soft and soft voice said beggingly: "Dudiu, I like assorted candies."

Diu Diu gave the little milk cat Shun Shun Mao, "Dabai, you still had a toothache yesterday, and Uncle Meng also said that if you eat indiscriminately again, you will lose that tooth."

"Wuwu, don't want to, I can brush my teeth, why don't you buy it for me." The white tiger god leaned out, touched the round nose with the tip of his pink nose, and held his face with two small paws, like It was a close hug, "Please~~"

In order to eat, the White Tiger God Lord really can do anything.

Diudiu was impressed by the little milk cat, and his position was shaken violently. He wavered, but for the sake of the little milk cat's teeth, he made a request, "I will brush your teeth twice a day from now on."

Baihu Shenjun hesitated, brushing his teeth was painful, but the fragrance of assorted candies between his lips and teeth made him firm in his belief, first get something to eat, and then he can escape while brushing his teeth, it was such a happy decision.Nodding sweetly, "Yeah."

With the guarantee from the little milk cat, Diu Diu pulled Dad's arm, Qin Shen looked at him, and Diu Diu said, "Dad, buy some more assorted candies."

As soon as he heard the assorted candies, Qin Shen went to see the White Tiger Lord. The little milk cat folded its paws and said goodbye, "Remember to rinse your mouth after eating, and brush your teeth before going to bed. You are not allowed to eat after brushing your teeth. "This is not raising a "cat", it is similar to raising an uneasy bear child.

The little milk cat nodded cooperatively, and Diudiu assured his father, "Dad, don't worry, I will supervise well."

"That's good." But Qin Shen didn't really believe in Baihu Shenjun in his heart, so he turned around and said to the boss who weighed the candies, "One more catty of assorted candies."

Qin Shen buys a lot and is considered a big customer, so the boss put a piece of maltose on top of his head, "I don't want some Kanto candy, I will invite the Stove Lord to dip him in a sweet melon tomorrow."

"Haha, our family doesn't believe this."

"If you don't believe me, you can buy it and try it. It's very cheap." The boss warmly recommended it, and even gave the two children a taste of Tanggua. It's not a particularly authentic Kanto sugar. It was very interesting to eat, and I even gave Qin Shen a piece. "Anyway, it's fresh when you eat it."

Qin Shen chewed the candy and said vaguely: "Then get half a catty."

"Okay, thanks for your patronage, Gong Xi Fa Cai."

With a bunch of things in his hands, and it was almost time to come out, Qin Shen took the two children and walked back, ready to go back.When I go back, I will stop by the place where the popcorn is made, and I will bring the popcorn that has been made there in advance.

When they arrived, Qin Shen took his two children to this place first, and sent the rice, corn, oil and sugar brought out from the inn to be processed. When five yuan was rang, they returned home to fry rice crackers, fried rice cakes and fried rice cakes. Popcorn is ready.

When Qin Shen and the others came, they heard someone say.

"It smells so good, mom, I want to eat it too."

"It's very fragrant. I'll go home and get some rice. Girl, you line up here."

Someone else said.

"I won't go home and get it, how about we buy ready-made ones?"

"Okay. Could it be the rice flower fragrance produced by the old method? It smells delicious."

Someone who had popped it grabbed a handful of rice flower and put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully and muttered, "Why does it smell like other people's fragrance? Could it be that the rice is different?"

Of course it is different. The rice produced by the inn is comparable to ordinary rice. The taste of the same rice species is different because of the different planting areas, and the popped rice crackers are also extraordinarily delicious.

The popcorn was an old couple, who used a tool that turned on the fire like a cannonball, which belonged to a very old-fashioned popcorn machine.When the turning time is almost up, it will be opened in a big mesh bag, and the sound of "bang" can be transmitted far away, and the rice flower inside will explode in the mesh bag, which is one of Qin Shen's most anticipated scenes in childhood.

There are fewer people doing this now, only some elderly craftsmen are still persisting, and they will probably lose sight of it when they grow up.

Fried rice crackers are made from rice. They are not very sweet, and only have the original aroma of rice. If you eat something similar to sesame paste, you can add a handful of them to satisfy your hunger and taste.

Fried rice cake is an upgraded version, glued together with syrup, a whole board is changed into small cubes, a good thing for Chinese New Year hospitality.

"Young man, your rice is good. I really like the popped rice flower." When the old man packed the rice flower and others for Qin Shen, he said with reluctance deep in his eyes. The pure and strong fragrance of the rice flower attracted him a lot. guest.

Even so, the elderly did not harbor greed and selfish desires, and did not hide the rice sent by Qin Shen. They faced their reluctance frankly and sincerely sent praises.

Qin Shen took it with a smile, and said to the old man, "If you have a destiny with me, old man, you can walk along Heping Road. If you see an inn, I will sell you some rice."

Qin Shen led the children to the direction of the car, and the old man with popcorn squinted his eyes to see their figures getting further and further away.

"The old man is working, he is stunned."

"It's nothing, just rest for a while." The old man dragged his wife to his side, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid we may meet a noble person, an extraordinary person."

"Keep your voice down, Daxian doesn't like to be disturbed." The old lady said mysteriously.

The old man nodded, "Don't tell anyone, even your son and daughter-in-law, just rot in our own stomachs."

"Yes, yes."

Qin Shen didn't know that someone regarded him as a great fairy again. They brought a lot of things and returned with a full load. They hummed a song and returned to the inn. The little guys opened the car door and jumped down. Qin Shen turned to the back of the car and opened the backup He picked up a bag of popcorn and turned around, seeing an old man in a yellow robe appearing at the door of the inn at some point.
