When everyone came to Yanma County Streamer City, it was already dark.Li Danqing looked left and right on the streets where people came and went, and finally caught a glimpse of an inn that looked quite magnificent, he pointed to that place and said: "Senior!
Why don't we stay here today?
”Zhou Jue turned his head to look at the inn in the decoration, and shook his head: "Zhou is poor in his life, and he can't get used to this luxurious place, so I don't think it's as good as this." ”Zhou Jue stretched out his hand and pointed to a small façade on the side of the inn, Li Danqing looked fixedly, although the inn on the side lived next to the inn in front of him, but it was very different, the door of the inn was short, and the façade was dilapidated, but fortunately, it was clean, and there was no plaque, just a strip of cloth with a few big characters written on it."
Clear is the end, water is the best.""
Qingshui is the best, a good name."
Zhou Jue ignored Li Danqing's strange face, and walked towards it with a smile.Li Danqing turned his head and glanced at Concubine Ji on the side, the other party was also a little helpless, and the two could only follow at this time.After experiencing the events of the day, the mood of the two has changed more or less.If Zhou Jue had any scruples before, or didn't know the identities of the two, he could walk with the two, but today, the people of the Hall of Eternal Life told him that they were really there, but Rao was like this, Zhou Jue still kept them, and even did not hesitate to offend the Hall of Eternal Life for this.Listening to the conversation between the two sides, it seems that Zhou Jue still has a request for the other party, at least the so-called Immortal Pill is still very important to Zhou Jue.What kind of thoughts the other party is having, neither of them can figure out.…… The inn is simply furnished, with only a few wooden tables, and there is no extra decoration beyond this, but it is clean, and both the floor and the table top are kept spotlessly."
Are the guests tipping or staying in the hotel?"
As soon as he walked into the inn, a young man who looked seventeen or eighteen years old walked up and greeted him.The young man was dressed in sackcloth, his skin was a little dark, his appearance was honest, and his smile and white teeth were showing a little favorite.He was followed by an eight- or nine-year-old girl, holding a white pastry in her hand, and when she saw the living, she was afraid to hide behind the young man, carefully observing everyone."
Both."
Zhou Jue laughed and grimaced at the girl.When the young man heard this, his face showed a look of shame: "Daddy went out to run errands, only me and my sister are here, I can help take care of the hotel, but if I want to eat, I will make some noodles ......"
"However, the noodles I make are not bad, there are fried noodles in the kitchen, boiled noodles, plus noodles, poured hot oil, and they are delicious, do you want to taste them." ”The young man said, with eagerness and anticipation in his eyes, obviously trying to keep the business.Zhou Jue looked at the inn casually, whether it was the hall downstairs or the wing room upstairs, it was very quiet, obviously this inn had no business.He smiled: "Then we will have the honor to taste this little brother's craftsmanship." ”The young man was overjoyed when he heard this, and he nodded again and again: "The guest officer will sit for a while, and I will go." ”After that, he turned around and was about to leave, but he remembered his sister beside him, lowered his head and said, "Nan, my brother is going to make noodles for the guests, you can play here, don't be naughty and disturb the guests." ”The girl nodded playfully, and the boy turned around and walked into the kitchen of the inner room."
Senior, today's events ......"
Seeing the young man leaving, Li Danqing also found an opportunity and was about to thank Zhou Jue.But Zhou Jue turned his head to look at the girl who was standing in place in fear."
Little girl, what's your name?"
He asked with a smile.The little girl was a little scared, she took a step back consciously, tugged at the white pastry tightly in her hand, and looked at Zhou Jue with wide eyes.Zhou Jue smiled, didn't force it, turned his head and was about to drink tea."
Zhou Zhou."
But at this moment, the girl's immature voice came."
Huh?"
Zhou Jue looked back at the girl and said with a smile: "You are also surnamed Zhou, then we are our family." ”The girl blinked, she seemed to be a little puzzled by Zhou Jue's words, but she instinctively got a little close to Zhou Jue, she mustered up the courage to step forward, looked at the pastry in her hand, and then looked at Zhou Jue and Li Dan, lowered her head and hesitated for a while, although she was a little reluctant, but she still divided the pastry in her hand that was only the size of a palm into three parts that were not very smooth, stretched out her little hand and tiptoed, and handed it over."
Give."
She said softly, quietly, still as timid.The three people who took this thing were all stunned, but Zhou Jue was unceremonious, and took a bite of it, the pastry was drawn and sticky, but the taste was sweet and delicious.Zhou Jue suddenly showed a look of satisfaction, he pointed to the pastry, and asked in a blurred mouth: "It's delicious, what is this thing, Xiaoyou?"
”The man's eyes were shining, and there was a little white pastry on the corner of his mouth, and he looked like a child who had discovered something new, and wanted to ask an adult to understand."
Dragon whisker crisp is made by heating maltose, kneading it into a ball, and dipping it in glutinous rice flour."
Li Danqing responded."
Dragon's beard?
Good name!
”Zhou Jue smiled heartily.As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the girl on the side, and said sincerely, "Thank you." ”The girl's face was slightly red, and she seemed to be a little embarrassed, but her body still stood in place, and she had no intention of leaving.Li Danqing saw something strange, and he asked, "Is there anything else?"
”At this time, the girl named Zhou Zhou raised her head and looked at the three of them, gritted her teeth, and plucked up her courage to say, "Brother made noodles......
It's not delicious......"
The three of them were all stunned, obviously not knowing how to deal with the girl's words.Seeing this, Zhou Zhou secretly thought that the three of them minded this matter, and hurriedly said: "Brother used to study and practice in the academy, and Daddy never let Brother do these things, and he only came to help recently."
Guests, don't mind......"
Seeing the girl's anxious appearance, Zhou Jue was the first to come back to his senses, he smiled, put the dragon whisker crisp in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "The child's gift of food can be worth a thousand gold." ”"We are vulgar people, we can eat enough food, and we will not be picky."
Zhou Jue's twists and turns, Zhou Zhou didn't understand much, but she finally knew that the guests would not be picky, she suddenly laughed, and her face was red because of happiness."
Before Daddy left, he made a lot of dragon whisker cakes for Nannan, and the guests liked it, so I'll go and get you some more."
Zhou Zhou said this, turned around excitedly, and was about to go to the inner room.But it happened that the young man who went to the house to work made noodles and walked out with a food plate.Seeing her sister who was in a hurry, she was a little displeased: "Nannan, didn't you sit there obediently?"
What should I do if I run around again and disturb the guests?
”Zhou Zhou was suddenly a little aggrieved, and stood in place with his head down."
Little brother misunderstood, Miss Zhou Zhou is going to share her dragon beard cake with us."
Zhou Jue smiled at the other party at that time, and waved the dragon beard crisp in his hand as if he was proof.The young man was stunned for a moment, handed three bowls of hot noodles to Li Danqing and the others, and then said: "This thing is made by my father in his spare time to satisfy his hunger, but it is not expensive, the three of them like it, I will get more for the three of them later." ”The young man's expression was warm, and he said a little shyly: "Let's try the noodles first." ”His eyes were hot, and he looked at the three of them with some concern.Li Danqing was ready with Zhou Zhou's reminder before, picked up the noodles with chopsticks and put them in his mouth, and suddenly a salty and bitter taste filled his mouth, he frowned, looked at Concubine Ji on the side, but saw that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was also frowning slightly, Li Danqing secretly felt strange, and looked at Zhou Jue on the side, only to see him gulping noodles, as if he had been hungry for a few days and nights, gobbling up."
Delicious!
This noodle is very delicious. ”Then Zhou Jue exclaimed.The young man was very happy, scratched his head a little shyly: "The guest praised it, Daddy loved, I rarely did these things in the past, a few days ago there were guests coming, I made a bowl of noodles, the guest said that it was bland and tasteless, and left without paying, I tasted it myself, only to find that I forgot to put salt, today I specially remembered, if the guests like it, I will cook some for you later." ”Hearing this, Li Danqing could probably understand where the bitter salty taste came from......
"No need, no need."
I ate a lot at noon today, and this bowl of noodles is enough, enough. ”Li Danqing said again and again, and glanced at Zhou Jue, who was as pale as usual, and secretly said Could it be that only the two bowls of noodles and salt for himself and Concubine Ji were too much?"
I heard the little girl say, the little brother used to study and practice in the academy?"
Zhou Jue took another sip of noodle soup and asked.When the young man heard this, he smiled bitterly: "I have read books for a few years, learned some words, and practiced for a few years, but it is difficult to make progress in the Vajra Realm." ”"There is no understanding in studying, there is a need for a lot of medicinal herbs and pills for cultivation, and the family is embarrassed, and I don't want to waste the family's money anymore, so I didn't go anymore."

Zhou Jue nodded, this way of cultivation is indeed not simple, if the family does not have a solid family background, and is not selected by a sect such as Yangshan, it is indeed very difficult to make achievements in martial arts with only their own efforts.After all, not everyone is as lucky as Li Danqing, and there are gods such as the Song Sword and "Dragon and Elephant Mixed Yuan" to protect each other.The embarrassment of the young man in front of him is the real situation of most people.Li Danqing glanced at the young man, and he could probably see that there was a lot of unwillingness and helplessness hidden in the young man's wry smile.Once upon a time, Li Danqing, who was trapped in Wuyang City, also had such feelings, and he was about to say words of relief or encouragement."
It's not bad, running such an inn is not a good choice."
But at this time, Zhou Jue said softly.Li Danqing frowned, a little puzzled.The same is true of Concubine Ji on the side."
It can only be regarded as a breadwinner, not as good as those classmates, I had a friend when I was young and is now a martial artist in the Purple Sun Realm, it is said that a few days ago I was valued by a sect, and I want to go there to practice, compared with him in the future, we are the difference between cloud and mud."
The boy whispered a little lonely.Li Danqing can probably understand the mood of a teenager, a teenager of this age, who has never had the ambition of a bird, and the choice between longing and reality is often the most confusing and uncomfortable experience."
For a cook to cook, a farmer has to grow the vegetables first.""
If a martial artist wants to practice, he must have a pharmacist to refine the pill.""
If a general wants to fight, he must have a craftsman to make swords and armor.""
You see, everyone in this world has their own responsibilities, but some people are in front and some people are behind.""
But every link is essential.""
Little brother doesn't have to be self-pitying, let alone arrogant."
Zhou Jue said slowly at this time.These words came from Li Danqing and Concubine Ji, and they were somewhat preachy.The young man also smiled and said, "Sir is a scholar who knows more than me, so I will write it down." ”The teenager responded politely, but whether he could agree with it in his heart was another matter."
Nothing is expensive.""
There is a difference between high and low in people's hearts, so there is a difference between high and low."
Zhou Jue said earnestly.After all, this preaching came a little inexplicably, and the young man couldn't refute it, so he just nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I remembered it below, thank you, sir." ”With that, he remembered that the fire in the kitchen had not been extinguished, and hurriedly turned around and went to the room.As soon as he left, Zhou Zhou on the side picked up the kettle very intimately, came to everyone, and poured a cup of tea.Li Danqing, who was bitter in his mouth, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he reached out to pick up the water cup.But at this time, Zhou Jue's eyes were quick, he grabbed the water cup, raised his head and swallowed the water in the cup."
One more drink!
But it's salty to death. ”At the end, he was still not satisfied, handed over the water cup and said again.Li Danqing and Concubine Ji couldn't help but look at Zhou Jue with some astonishment, Zhou Jue felt the gaze of the two, glared at them strangely, and muttered, "Look at me?"
”"This noodle is so salty, don't say something he doesn't like to hear, can he really finish it?"
