The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 144

A monk like Lin Tianci, who is an outsider, may not care whether Leizhou is about to face turmoil, but of course the emperors in the world will not think that Leizhou does not exist.

This Jincheng was originally a frontier fortress, and with the unstable situation in Leizhou, Chen Bing had come here early to deal with the possible war.

All people entering the city, whether by land or water, were checked.

Brother Lin expressed his understanding of this. It feels almost the same as going through security checks before entering the customs when traveling in other countries.

However, the soldiers didn't check it too carefully. They didn't search him, but asked Lin Tianci to open his backpack to see if there were any dangerous goods in it, and let him go after confirming that it was correct.

Maybe it's because he looks dignified and doesn't look like a bad guy.

——So good-looking is an advantage.

After getting off the boat, Brother Lin went straight to the inn. As early as on the boat, he had inquired about the place to go, an inn called Fuxiulou.

As the saying goes, the shadow of a famous tree, the merchants and guests on the ship all said that the food at Fuxiulou is good, and it must be the same.

It’s okay if it’s really not in line with the reputation. Brother Lin’s trip to a big city doesn’t end with just visiting inns and restaurants. Street stalls and snacks are also on his list of alternatives. He can also find small shops that only experienced gourmets know by smell.

The area of ​​Fuxiu Building is not small, and there are many guests coming and going.

Brother Lin went in and found an empty seat to sit down, and said to the waiter who came to greet him:
"What's your signature dish here?"

"Guest officer, we have too many signature dishes here, I don't know which one to recommend for a while, do you have any taboos?"

Look, it really is a big city.

He likes this kind of restaurant with many signature dishes, so he hesitated for a while:

"Give me some fish, some meat, some cold salad and a jug of good wine."

"Alright, sit down for a while."

The food will have to wait for a while, but the wine has already been warmed and served.

Maybe it was the waiter in the shop who saw that Brother Lin was young and dressed as a scholar, and served him a pot of soft, low-alcohol wine.

However, low-alcohol wine does not mean it is bad. This wine is easy to drink, neither spicy nor pungent, and has a pure and pleasant aroma.

After half a pot of wine went down, the food ordered by brother Lin finally came.

The fish is sweet and sour fish. Although they all have the same name, it is obviously different from Tongzhou's.

The way of Tongzhou is to deep-fry carp and serve with sweet and sour sauce.Jincheng’s method is to boil the grass carp with green onion and ginger water to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor, and then serve it with a sweet and sour sauce.

The former eats a crispy taste, while the latter eats a simple umami.

This has very high requirements on the quality of the fish. If you are not confident that the grass carp is plump, you must not use this method.

Jincheng is on the edge of the Ranjiang River, and there is a big lake nearby, so the fresh fish is naturally very good.

The meat looked ordinary, just a plate of braised pork. Compared with the knuckles that Koshihikari was feasting on, this plate of stewed meat seemed insufficient.

But the taste is not bad at all. The thin five flowers are cut into squares, and the leaves are tightened to avoid deformation during stewing. When served on the table, they are topped with special ingredients, which are fat but not greasy.

The cold salad is much simpler, but it is a spinach mixed with jellyfish.

Yanzhou is near the sea, but Jincheng is not near the sea. There must be no fresh seafood, and jellyfish is already good.

And Brother Lin thinks that this cold jellyfish dish looks simple, but it is actually the most skill-testing.Jellyfish are preserved in salt and must be soaked in water to remove excess salt before eating.

The soaking time is short, the jellyfish is too salty, and the umami taste will disappear if the soaking time is long, like chewing wax.

Regardless of the condiments, there are only minced garlic, vinegar and soy sauce, and if there is more, it will be heavier and less will be tasteless.

As the saying goes, there are no worthless people under a great reputation, and the recommended Fuxiu Building is really good.

"Second brother, give me a room, the meal and rent will be calculated together, and bring me a jar of wine by the way."

With enough food and drink, brother Lin didn't plan to continue on his way, and planned to stay in Jincheng for two more days.

The busy shop waiter in the distance responded, and quickly came over with the key and the big wine jar.

"Guest officer, the wine you want."

"This altar is too small, give me a bigger one."

Brother Lin pointed to the direction of the wall near the back kitchen in the lobby and said:
"That would be nice."

The one he was referring to was not just a jar, but a wine jar at all, and the only thing bigger than that was the wine jar.

"Guest officer, don't make small jokes."

"I'm not kidding."

"It's such a big jar of wine, how can you drink it all by yourself, sir?"

"Drink slowly and put it in the guest room for me."

The shop waiter was still reluctant, and kept persuading Lin Tianci not to drink too much.

As an inn owner, he actually persuaded the guests to drink less.

The main reason is that brother Lin asked for too much wine. Even if the wine is low-alcohol, it can't be drunk as water.If he died drunk in the inn, it would be a big deal.

Just as the ink was being written, a voice came from behind the waiter:
"Second brother, is there any room left?"

Lin Tianci looked past the waiter and looked towards the door.

"Da Zhuang?"

Looking behind Wu Dazhuang, the Ruan family sisters just got off the carriage parked at the gate of Fuxiu Building...

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

It has been half a year since he left the Divine Talisman Gate, and Lin Tianci has also lost contact with his fellow practitioners for half a year. He did not expect them to appear in Jincheng.

It is always a pleasure to meet old friends in a foreign country, not to mention that the relationship between friends is not just old friends, they have become old friends after ten years of getting along.

More like brothers and sisters than friends.

Wu Dazhuang and the Ruan family sisters were also taken aback when they saw Lin Tianci, and then everyone chatted in the guest room to reminisce about the old days.

"I really didn't expect to meet by such a coincidence."

"I didn't even think about it. By the way, why are you coming to Jincheng? Maybe you came here specially to find me."

"Go, go, don't be smug."

Ruan Wenyu spat, but little brother Lin didn't care, the elder sister of the Ruan family was not much different from his own elder sister after getting along for so long, although he was a senior brother in terms of seniority and inferiority, but between friends When we got along, I didn't pay much attention to it, so Xuan Shaoyang called him Brother Tianci every day.

Anyway, in the guest room, there are no outsiders around.Lin Tianci took off the gourd from his waist, pulled out the mouth of the gourd, and aimed at the wine urn brought up by the waiter.

A water line was connected to the wine like a tornado, and it didn't take long for a whole urn of wine to be completely sucked in by the gourd.

After all, the waiter in the shop still couldn't speak against Lin Tianci, of course he wanted so much wine just to put it in the gourd.

The water-cleaning hyacinth can absorb liquid very well, and the absorbed liquid seems to be stored in different categories, so you don't have to worry about it being a mixture of wine and water when it is poured out.

Wu Dazhuang and the Ruan family sisters looked at it in amazement, and the younger sister Ruan Wenzhu said:
"Brother Tianci, is this Lingbao gourd?"

"Well, I just got it from Qixia Valley recently, and it took me a lot of effort."

Ruan Wenyu wondered:
"You use such a good baby to hold wine?"

"What's the use of keeping it if it's not packed with wine!"

Hanging the gourd back to his waist, Brother Lin sat down on the chair:
"Since I left the gate of talismans, I have relied on my appetite for motivation, otherwise I would be too lazy to run around the world."

"Brother Lin, you really look more and more like Uncle Ling Yunzi."

Wu Dazhuang shook his head endlessly, Lin Tianci was the best food when he was on the mountain, and he ran the most frequently in the back mountain, but after going down the mountain, it got worse.

"By the way, don't interrupt, you haven't said how you came to Jincheng?"

Ruan Wenyu hesitated for a moment, then said:

"The two of us are about to build a foundation. This time we are going home to visit our relatives. Da Zhuang feels that the mountains are high and the road is far away. He is afraid that our two sisters will not be safe outside, so we come together."

It's really not safe. It would be fine if the Ruan family sisters became real monks after they established their foundation. The physical fitness of a monk is completely beyond the limit of ordinary people, and it's okay to take Mongolian sweat medicine as vitamin C.

That's why little girls like Ran Qinglian dare to travel alone, otherwise they might be sold to a ravine by human traffickers to be their wives.

"Visiting relatives? By the way, when you said that, I remembered that you never talked about family affairs. Are you from Yanzhou?"

In the past ten years of getting along, the Ruan family sisters never talked about their own affairs, and the little friends were very sensible and didn't ask.I only know that their family is a small family of practitioners, and they seem to be very proficient in ghosts, other than that, I don't know anything.

After hearing what brother Lin said, Ruan Wenzhu tugged on his sister's sleeve, and the latter bit his lip, looking a bit difficult to speak.

This made Lin Tianci a little puzzled:
"Is there anything unspeakable? With our relationship, there is no need to be polite. Tell me."

"It's really hard to say..."

Ruan Wenyu was not easy to speak, and Ruan Wenzhu, who has always been used to relying on her sister, said directly:
"We don't actually plan to come back because we had a falling out with the family a long time ago."

"What... what's going on?"

Ruan Wenyu saw that her younger sister had confessed, and brother Lin was not an outsider anyway, so she gritted her teeth and said:
"We actually ran away from home, and we plan to go to the God Rune Gate to give it a try."

"You two sisters are really brave..."

Ten years ago, Ruan Wenyu was only seven or eight years old, and Ruan Wenzhu was only six years old. The two little girls ran away from home by themselves, crossed the dangerous Leizhou, and then went to Tongzhou to find Shenfu Town.

It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to do.

Just by looking at Brother Lin's journey, you can tell that Leizhou is definitely not a peaceful place. There are many bandits and wild beasts running amok. These two little girls dare to pass through. They clicked a spiral praise.

Then again, it is one thing to be bold, but it is also very reckless to dare to do so. What is the reason for the two little girls to take such a big risk?
"Our relationship with the family was very bad, and we couldn't understand a sentence or two. Later, my father planned to marry us as concubines, so I had a big fight with him, and then we ran away from home. I ran to the Divine Talisman Gate because I wanted to rely on the big tree of the Divine Talisman Gate to avoid being caught back."

This effect is similar to that of Brother Lin, he still has a girl from Shenjimen who can't handle it.

"Your father is too anxious."

Although the engagement time in this world is relatively early, those like the Ruan family sisters are also exaggerated.

"He was just anxious to exchange us for money."

Ruan Wenyu gritted her teeth quite a bit when she spoke.

Brother Lin pondered for a while, no matter what, he must be on the side of the Ruan family sisters, there is no doubt about it.

However, the Ruan family sisters are willing to go home to visit their relatives, which means that they may not be 100% let go, and they may be very entangled in their hearts.

After all, they are still a family, if they can untie their knots, it might be a good thing.

Thinking of this, Brother Lin suggested:
"I'll go back with you, anyway, I'm also a senior brother, your father should sell me some face."
