Dao Pi Jiu Xiao

Chapter 290 Xuanwu Banquet
One day and one night, the two of them came to an understanding and continued to open the restaurant early the next morning.

On the seventh day of May, the surrounding residents saw the opening of Tianbao Restaurant, and came to have breakfast one after another.

"I said Xiaotian, why didn't you open the door yesterday? The two new snacks you launched the day before yesterday were good, and I wanted to buy them yesterday!"

"That's just for the occasion of the Five Poisons Festival, so why eat that on weekdays?" Qinghong put down today's breakfast: "Today's breakfast includes sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, sugar cakes, vegetable corners, steamed buns, soy milk, green rice porridge, Bean brains. There are also eight-treasure porridge, eight-treasure rice, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, lotus seed soup, five kernel crisps, peanut candy, and white fungus soup. Of course, if you order it on the spot, it’s not impossible.”

Hearing the various styles, everyone was amazed: "Only you two are busy, but you can still prepare so many tricks every day. Your two brothers and sisters are really good at craftsmanship."

In Tianbao restaurant, the two rely on the "surname Jia", one is Jia Xuntian and the other is Jia Xunbao.

"No way. The day before yesterday, we were busy working on Baojiao millet. We were so busy that we had a whole day's rest yesterday!" And among these breakfasts, he cooked all kinds of porridge, but the staple food of dim sum was all thanks to Li Jingxun.

"But you guys made a lot of money the day before yesterday, right? It's more than half a month old." An aunt came over to buy steamed buns and said with a smile, "I think you should ask two little girls to help you take care of it. After all You two may not be able to handle such a prosperous business."

Qinghong smiled and said nothing.The two of them went down to travel, if they randomly invited someone to come, wouldn't it disturb their practice?

"Sister Zhang, you don't understand this. How can you get close to your own family when you find outsiders?" Another woman came over, and she looked at Qinghong, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she was: "I said, my god, you are not young. Don't you think about starting a family quickly? And Bao girl, you can't keep her forever, can you?"

"It's still early." Qinghong covered it vaguely, when he saw people from the Liu residence coming out to buy things.All the servants made big and small bags, besides all kinds of chrysanthemums, pines and cypresses, there were also things like white cloth and linen.

"Huh? Something happened to the Liu residence? Why did you start buying funeral things?"

After all, the two women knew a lot about their parents, and one of them said: "Hey, you still don't know. The old man of the Liu Mansion almost passed by yesterday. Maybe today is not looking good, so I started to prepare for the funeral."

Just at this time, a manager of the Liu family came to Tianbao Restaurant: "Shopkeeper Jia, I may order some vegetarian cakes from you in a few days, please prepare it earlier."

Qinghong looked surprised: "I saw the old man come out to eat in person a few days ago. Why is it suddenly not good these few days?"

"Who knows. The old man was quite happy to eat the horn millet from your place the day before yesterday, and said, 'I'm getting old, I can still eat something new'. But when I was viewing flowers yesterday, I suddenly couldn't stand it anymore. Please The doctor came to see it, and they all said that the medicine stone is useless." The steward smiled wryly and said, "Now it's just hanging with ginseng, and it looks like it's only two days' work."

"People say, 'Autumn tiger, pass September; stay for three hours, live for a year'. This old man, as long as he survives the autumn and winter seasons, he will basically live well in the spring and summer of the next year. I don't think Mrs. Liu died young, but It’s a deficiency of vital energy, and it’s just a matter of nourishing it.”

"Tonic?" The steward shook his head and said, "My master prepared the best ginseng for the old man. But it doesn't work, so what else?"

At this time, Li Jingxun brought a basket of buns from the backyard.Hearing what Guanshi Liu said, she said to Qinghong: "Brother, haven't we seen this deficiency of energy in other places? Didn't you cure it with a pair of basalt banquets? Now, you might as well go to Look, saying no can save a life."

"Huh?" Hearing this, the people nearby hurriedly asked what happened.

Qinghong waved his hand and said: "Don't listen to this girl's nonsense. It is because of her life that I can help recuperate my body with medicinal diet."

"If that's the case, why don't you go and have a look?" Sister Zhang urged, and the others urged Qinghong to see a doctor.

The steward of Liu's house thought to himself: Anyway, a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, what if there is a chance of survival?

So, he took Qinghong to visit Liu's mansion.

It happened that the well-known doctor Xiahou in the city was here for diagnosis and treatment.Hearing Qinghong's arrival, he was not happy and said: "Your Liu family is good enough, you don't even believe me, a doctor, and you actually go to the cook to treat your illness?"

Qinghong said with a smile: "Mr. Xiahou, as the saying goes, 'disease enters through the mouth, medicine enters through the mouth'. This diet and herbal diet are the most important things in medicine. I see that the old man has nothing serious at all, but his body is weak for a while. You use ginseng to supplement your body. , but let him not be replenished, how can he survive? Forcibly pouring ginseng soup for a few days, we normal people can't stand the power of the medicine, let alone this seriously ill person. I think, even if the old man can be saved, After taking ginseng for three days, nothing else happened."

Hearing what Qinghong said, Yuanwai Liu couldn't help but ask, "Then sir, can you help me?"My father passed by suddenly, and I haven't explained anything yet.The pillars of the Liu family cannot fall.

Qinghong took a closer look, and he had a clue in his heart: "I see, the old man is just weak in energy. I have seen a similar disease in other places some time ago, and it can be cured."

Hearing Qinghong said that he could be saved, he immediately said: "Sir, if there is any way, just say it, money is not a problem!"

The Liu family can be regarded as one of the richest families in this small town.Moreover, the old man is kind and generous, and has a good reputation.

"Money doesn't matter. After all, he is an old customer of our restaurant, and I can earn a manual fee. But the key is that the things that save people are not easy to get. Dr. Xiahou used ginseng to hang his life, and my method is also to use great tonics to recuperate .But my Xuanwu Banquet is a nourishing medicinal diet, and it can be done step by step, so that the old man's vitality can be restored."

"What medicinal materials, just say it! Even if our family goes bankrupt, we have to save our grandfather!" At this time, the eldest son of the Liu family ran out from inside, came to Qinghong and asked.

"A basalt warrior is also the form of a tortoise and a snake. Therefore, I need a 500-year-old tortoise and a snake king to eat."

"This..." Mr. Liu thought about it and said, "It's really troublesome for Mr. Time to ask for this kind of game. But I can send someone to look for it, but the time may be a bit late."

"Before the day after tomorrow, I think the old man can hang himself. Just deliver it to the restaurant early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

Soon, Qinghong left Liu's house and continued to manage the restaurant.

Li Jingxun didn't ask any questions about his trip at all, because this matter was already expected by the two of them.So, the two waited patiently for two days before Liu's house delivered the things to their door.

During the Five Poisons Festival, Qinghong and Li Jingxun only killed the snake demon, but did not move the snake's guts, because they were afraid that the original monkey would notice.

Pretending to die as a catastrophe, if they take away the snake gall, wouldn't it be a show of deception?

Therefore, according to the plan of these two people, they are going to let mortals send the corpse of the dragon snake to them.Now the matter of Liu's residence is in line with the two people's minds.

……

Two days later, Qinghong looked at the scorched snake corpse in front of him in the backyard, and asked Mr. Liu, "This is it?"

"We got this from a trading company yesterday. It just so happened that a big snake was struck to death by lightning three hundred miles away in the Western Wilderness. The Orion sent it to a town not far away to sell it. And when we released the news, it happened to be picked up by the branch in the city. Knowing that, I transferred the snake corpse here."

"The news is well-informed."

"As long as you are willing to spend money, everything is not a problem."

"What about the turtle?"

"Sir, please take a look." The young master ordered someone to carry a big urn.The urn is clear and full of waves, and there is a big turtle in it.The big tortoise, with its white back and silver edges, lazily spits bubbles in the water.

Seeing this turtle fish, Qinghong's mouth twitched and fell silent for a while.

"What, sir? But there's something wrong with the turtle?"

"No, it's great." Qinghong came to the side of the big urn, looked at the white jade turtle, as if he was thinking about something.Li Jingxun saw her, put down what she was doing, and came over to look at Bai Yugui.The two stared at the tortoise, and the big tortoise also looked at them.Immediately, the spirit turtle shed two lines of tears.

When Mr. Liu saw it, he was surprised and said: "Hey, this turtle is quite human."

With a smile on his eyebrows, Li Jingxun said to Qinghong: "Brother, God has the virtue of loving life. If possible, please be merciful."

This white jade turtle has 800 years of Taoism.I was basking in the sun in the shallows this morning, but I was caught by a group of fishermen and sent to Liu's residence.Originally, he wanted to use his sorcery to tease the Liu family and give them a retribution, so he didn't resist.But after seeing Qinghong and Li Jingxun, he immediately noticed something was wrong.These two "mortals" who can't see the depth clearly are two Taoist immortals.

"My life is over!" Bai Yugui felt regretful when he thought of his carelessness today, which resulted in his death.There is also a tortoise mother-in-law and a group of tortoise sons in my family. I didn't expect to die here today.If I had known this earlier, I would have used black magic to escape!

Unexpectedly, the man outside the big urn bowed his hands to it: "Your Excellency is a hundred-year-old tortoise, and must have understood human nature. As the saying goes, 'God has the virtue of good life', I don't want to save one person and kill another. Now take the tortoise Weng Lingxue saved people, and when they are saved in the future, let the Liu family sacrifice your longevity tablet to eat incense. If your Excellency is willing, you can nod."

When Bai Yugui heard this, he immediately nodded in approval.Being able to survive is better than anything else!
Mr. Liu was amazed to see Bai Yugui's understanding of human nature. "What a clever turtle. But sir, can you save grandfather without killing it? Can the medicinal diet be completed?"

Qinghong smiled and said: "Young master. I originally intended to use the Xuanwu Banquet to save people. But seeing that this turtle is full of spirituality and has become humane, it should not be killed easily. Please prepare another hundred catties of eggs and one catty of tiger bones. It should be used to replace the spirit turtle in the medicinal diet."

"Okay, it's all easy to talk about!" Mr. Liu ordered immediately, and the food was delivered to the restaurant soon.

Qing Hong pushed back the others and started making medicinal meals in the courtyard.However, this medicated diet is very different from the nourishing medicated diet in the mortal world. He is the one who studies the medicine for immortals.Every medicated diet contains a certain special effect for Xianjia.

The so-called Xuanwu Banquet is also known as the Longevity Banquet.Originally, Qinghong's plan was to use a turtle and snake carcass as medicine.Make nine nourishing and nourishing medicinal meals to help Mrs. Liu live longer.But now the spirit turtle can't be killed, so he has to choose the corresponding tonic from several other medicinal diets.

"Junior Sister, help me get the turtle's blood, and deal with this snake demon by the way."

Qinghong took out a piece of uncut jade and carved it into a wine cup.

To deal with the snake corpse, Li Jingxun took out the snake gall.Now, by cleverly borrowing the hand of a mortal, to send this snake corpse into his own hands, wouldn't the snake gall be taken by him?
"Senior brother predicts things like a god, and all of this is in the senior brother's plan."

"Hey...it's nothing. The next step is the key." Qinghong looked over the Liu Mansion.A black air filled the air above Liu's residence.Obviously, this time is indeed a big crisis for the old man of the Liu family.

Changing one's life against the sky and increasing one's lifespan, Qinghong thought she couldn't do it, and didn't dare to argue with the Netherworld.However, Mr. Liu accumulated virtue and did good deeds, and there was a glimmer of life beyond the calamity of death.In other words, his lifespan is not yet over, it is just a catastrophe of life and death.

Qinghong helped him overcome the calamity, not only without fault, but also with merit.

After working for a long time, at noon, the two of them prepared three medicinal meals and sent them to Liu's residence.

　I went out to find inspiration today, so tired.Originally, I only wanted to write one chapter, but after thinking about it carefully, I prepared two more chapters.
