Chapter 10 Mustache

"A distinguished guest, please invite me inside!" The waiter greeted the people with a smile.

Xu Yan walked in. The restaurant was two floors up and down, with a square pattern. There was a stage in the middle. A young girl in green was singing the lyrics: "I am sitting in the Heavenly Palace in the Nine Levels, often in front of the Jade Emperor's Palace. People have achieved great success in their cultivation, and the Heavenly Palace brings blessings to the mortal world!"

Xu Yan walked up the second floor, sat down by the window, ordered a basin of boiled mutton, five spring cakes, and a pot of osmanthus wine.

The best dish to serve is naturally beef, but killing cattle in ancient times was illegal, so Xu Yan could not learn from those Liangshan heroes, and shouted casually, "Come two pounds of beef, sifting a pot of good wine."

He can only eat some mutton to satisfy his cravings!

The store is very affordable. A full pot of mutton is served, full of meat, and bones are rarely seen. Spring cakes are newly made, and osmanthus wine is said to be wine, but it is more like a drink and has very low purity.

While eating dishes, Xu Yan listened to the song downstairs, and roughly understood the meaning.

It's very interesting. It's a myth. It's said that there was a scholar named Liang Rui. When he was young, he saw a new Jinshi banquet in Chang'an. He was inscribed in Yanta. He was determined to study hard, but failed the exam many times and gradually grew older.

The man who destined him said that he had four blessings, longevity, health, virtue, and joy, but lacked wealth and honor. Liang Rui did not believe that he still kept mechanics in his old age. The hometown official Xue Qiong respected him, so he ordered his young daughter Xue Yumei to take Liang as her teacher.

On the other side, the Eight Immortals met at Yaochi to attend the Peach Banquet. Lu Dongbin lies drunk on Zhongnan Mountain. The willow spirit stole the Qingfeng sword and forced the fairy Bai Mudan to marry. Bai Mudan escaped into the mortal world and met Xue Yumei by chance, so he turned her into a substitute.

The willow spirit made Xue Yumei naked and landed on a tall building. Just as she was about to do something dirty, she saw the thunder in heaven. The willow spirit was afraid of escaping. At this time, Liang Rui happened to climb the tower and saw Xue Yumei lying naked. She quickly untied her body and covered her body with her green robe and sent her home. Xue Qiong was grateful and decided to marry her daughter to him.

After Lu Dongbin sobered up, he conquered the willow spirit and reported to the Emperor of Heaven about Liang Rui. The Emperor of Heaven gave Liang Hao five blessings, and Liang Rui passed the top scorer the following year.

This story is a joy to everyone, but Xu Yan finds it very funny. The ancients’ imagination should not be underestimated. It is a hero who saves beauty and a master-disciple love. They are in their 80s and they still like to bring their beautiful wife. I don’t know if they will be powerless!

He picked up a glass of wine and drank it, looking out the window, a familiar figure flashed by.

He was shocked and looked carefully and it turned out to be him!

Mustache!

Xu Yan had seen him twice in a total of two, both in the village. Once, the master was seriously ill, and Xiaowang came to visit him instead of Liu Heiqi. Once, the master passed away, he came to pay homage.

As far as Xu Yan knows, although this man is not the leader of the bandits, he is Liu Heiqi's confidant. He is responsible for inquiring about information outside and is deeply trusted by Liu Heiqi.

Why is he here?

Hasn’t Qunying Mountain been wiped out? Is there still a fish that misses the net?

Xu Yan's expression changed, he suddenly stood up, threw the money on the table, walked downstairs quickly, and mixed into the crowd and followed.

Xiaomouzi walked around the street twice and finally walked into a medicine shop. Xu Yan waited for a while in the distance before seeing him come out, carrying many medicinal herbs in his hand.

After leaving the pharmacy, he came to a street intersection where a carriage was parked. Two men were squatting and standing, eating scones, and looked around with caution.

Xiao Wang put the medicinal materials into the carriage and covered them with oil cloth. Xu Yan saw that it was filled with grain.

Xiaomoustache said a few words, and the two of them quickly finished the scones and drove the carriage toward the city gate.

Although Xu Yan has no contact with the bandits now, he knows his identity. If he encounters it in the future, his old background will be exposed, and his carefully compiled identity will collapse instantly.

This is something he will never allow!

These people pretended to be travelers and entered the county town, probably to purchase supplies, which means that there are more bandits living behind them.

These are all hidden dangers!

Should I go out of the city, find their nests, and catch them all in one go?

Xu Yan was unsure of his mind for a moment.

Just when he was struggling, Xiaomouzi seemed to have noticed it and suddenly turned around. This scared Xu Yan so much that he hurriedly turned to dodge in desperation.

There was a jewelry stall next to it, and a girl was choosing jewelry. He picked up a silver hairpin and, under the girl's shocked gaze, raised his hand and inserted it into her hair bun: "This looks good!"

The girl stood there in a daze, her eyes clearly distinguished by black and white, and she was at a loss.

If there was a substantial gaze passing by, a layer of cold sweat floated on Xu Yan's back. Fortunately, the gaze didn't last long, but just flashed away.

"What's wrong?"

"fine!"

The mustache narrowed her eyes and glanced at the crowded crowd. She confirmed that the feeling just was just an illusion. She turned around and said, "It's getting late, let's go quickly!"

Xu Yan, who was facing away from the three of them, felt that they had left, and his tense mind suddenly relaxed. He took out a corner of the silver, threw it to the jewelry boss, and said to the girl: "I'm giving you a hairpin, bye!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry, leaving behind an angry and shy girl with her cheeks as red as rouge.

Xu Yan did not follow Xiaomoustache again because he found that this was a technical job and he couldn't do it himself. If it was exposed, it would be done.

Let’s think of other solutions!

Place the awakened dough on the chopping board, roll and press it continuously with a rolling pin until the dough becomes a thin round shape, then stack it up and down, cut it into a wide surface of even size with a knife, and throw it into the pot.

Boil it on a high heat, then take it into the bowl and sprinkle pepper, salt, vinegar, green onion, ginger and other seasonings. In another pot, rapeseed oil was boiled, and half a spoon was used to pour it on the noodles. There was a 'sharp' sound, and the oil splashed, and at the same time, a fragrance filled the way, making people unable to help swallowing.

Authentic Shaanxi oil splash noodles are made. You need to use a large bowl, add marijuana and spicy food. Unfortunately, there are no chili peppers in Shu, so you can only use pepper instead.

Xu Yan was overwhelmed with one bowl. Unlike others, he often needed two or three bowls to fill his stomach. As for Hu Zi, who had a particularly large appetite, he ate five bowls in one breath, but he was still a little unsatisfied.

"Brother Xu, how did you come up with this way of eating? It's really unheard of!" Yin Shenglong asked with a burp.

Xu Yan held a grass in his mouth and said, "My master and I live in seclusion in the mountains. On weekdays, I have nothing to do except study medicine. Once, I helped the master clean the room and accidentally found an ancient book that records many delicious foods. I tried to do it in my spare time and learned it slowly!"
