President's Legendary Master

Chapter 240 The Du Family's Old House

"The one that subdues demons is called the Fumo Tower. Generally, what is suppressed inside is the things that harm the world. Whether it is living or dead, they are all called by this name." This is the rule, the Fumo Tower generally has seven floors, because the number "seven" is very special."

"You said this, but this is the first time I've heard you say so in detail." Dugu Haoyan said: "Then what kind of tower is this?"

"Some treasures are spiritual but cannot be seen in the world, so they are enshrined in the Spirit Pagoda. The first is to preserve the integrity of the treasures; the second is to keep the treasures from losing their aura; the third is to enshrine and nourish the treasures." Xiao Xiao The Heavenly Master said: "It's strange to build a pagoda in the back garden of their house!"

"It's not surprising. There are three floors underground in the Fengling Pagoda. This is where the old warehouse of my Du family is located. Fortunately, no one discovered it at the time. I always thought it was a tube building!" Du Weigang laughed: "But because it is too It was small, no one took it seriously, and it was in a secluded place, and the entrance and exit had to go through the double house in front, so no one lived in. Later, our family was rehabilitated, and the house was returned. At that time, my grandfather I live in the back, I live there with my grandfather, and I don’t go out easily, my parents live in the front, and run our family’s store by the way, and antiques were not popular at that time, so they opened a small grocery store.”

Of course, it has now become a Hutong supermarket. Because of the convenience of the people, their family did not remove it, but such a small store, no one in their family runs it, so they simply leased it out and paid the rent.

Because of this, no one knows that their old quality warehouse is in their back garden.

In the early years, it was a garden, but later it was changed to a vegetable garden, so it didn't attract much attention.

"Please come in, please come in!" Du Weigang said: "This is our old house, and I don't allow ordinary people to come in."

Once they entered their house, it was like an outer courtyard, the reverse house was a grocery store, the wing room was either a garage or a kitchen, and the main room was a dining room and study.

Only Erjin is the real place to live.

The second-entry living room is past the garden. The five rear-covered rooms at the back of the garden have been remodeled by their family. They have become five rooms that are transparent from the north to the south. They are located high above the ground, and the ventilation effect is super good. In early summer, some places are air-conditioned. Oh, but the indoor temperature here is only seventeen or eight degrees, and you need to wear long-sleeved clothes.

After the two of them came in, they sat in the living room. The living room was filled with huanghuali furniture, fresh flowers and fruits on the tea table, dried fruits in boxes from Bafang Babao, and Jingba snacks from Daoxiang Village.

The coffee table is very big, half of it is full of things, and there is a pot of jasmine tea. The teapot used is purple sand, but it turns out to be a copper pot to boil water. The jasmine tea is the most authentic in Kyoto.

In addition, several people came in, including men, women and children.

"This is the cook I invited, Master Ma, who can cook all kinds of dishes in Kyoto!" Du Weigang began to introduce people: "This is Mrs. Ma, the wife of Master Ma, who has a perfect face!"

A man and a woman who looked chubby and beaming looked like a husband and wife.

"Oh, brother Ma, sister-in-law Ma, during this period of time, I will trouble you two!" When the little heavenly master heard that these two were the cook and the cook, and they would be in charge of cooking in the future, of course he had to have a better attitude.

In Dugu's house, the little celestial master also likes the fat chef and the fat aunt the most.

"Okay, okay, you're welcome." When the couple first came here, they thought that the other party was a picky person. They heard that Boss Du treated each other carefully. They both thought, the salary for this job is super Gao, Boss Du will pay them a year's salary regardless of the length of time.

This is why I came here to work for such a temporary private kitchen.

I didn't expect this little gentleman to be so polite.

It's true to smile at them.

Not only the couple, but even Du Weigang was a little surprised. You must know that he has been in front of the little celestial master for such a long time, but he has never got a smile on his face. How could he treat these two chubby men and women so well.

"Oh, this is Aunt Zheng who is in charge of cleaning. You can ask Sister Zheng to help you with anything." Boss Du pointed to an amiable middle-aged woman and said, "Sister Zheng is still Aunt Li's daughter-in-law."

"Hello, Sister Zheng." This is equivalent to the cleaning aunt who also serves as the housekeeper.

"Brother Yu, the universal mechanic." A very strong middle-aged man, who is also suspected of being a bodyguard.

All four know each other.

Boss Du let people go down: "Everyone is here, you two have a rest, let's have a table of authentic Beijing cuisine at noon."

He knew that he couldn't bother him too much, so he backed out after speaking, not knowing what to arrange.

There were only Dugu Haoyan and Little Tianshi left in the room, and Dugu Haoyan was overjoyed all of a sudden: "This one is really careful and enthusiastic."

"Is he frightened?" The little celestial master touched the grand master's chair he was sitting on: "Where is the huanghuali one!"

"It can be seen that this place has been renovated and maintained more than once. Look at the Fengling Pagoda at the back. What does it mean?"

"I'll find out tomorrow." The little celestial master took a bite of the almond puff pastry from a Jingba piece in Daoxiang Village: "Huh? It tastes so good!"

"This is the authentic Dajing Eight Pieces." Dugu Haoyan said: "A total of 25 patterns, divided into three types: first line, broken skin, and pastry. Eat less, and you will have authentic Beijing dishes in a while."

"Oh, eat a little of the same." The little celestial master also poured a cup of jasmine tea: "Well, this jasmine tea also tastes good."

"We came here in a hurry last time, and we didn't have a pleasant time in Beijing. We just ate all kinds of things and looked for the taste. The child of the Qiu family is still very diligent in contacting Chuanzhong. I heard that before the year , They even went there."

"Yeah, back then we were busy looking for all kinds of flavors." The little celestial master remembered that he came to give people a trip to find the previous life in the first month of last year, so he had a good time: "If I knew I could use the Du family, I would have looked for him earlier. gone."

Why let them run around like headless chickens in Beijing.

The two of them ate and drank, took a rest, and were still full of energy. At eleven o'clock at noon, Sister Zheng appeared on time and invited the two of them to move to the restaurant for dinner.

Beijing cuisine, also known as Jingbang cuisine, is based on northern cuisine and is formed after absorbing flavors from all over the world.

Because of the special status of the capital city, Kyoto has gathered the culmination of the national cooking technology, continuously absorbs the essence of food from all over the country, absorbs the palace flavor of the food essence of Han and Manchu nationalities, and Tanjia cuisine formed on the basis of Cantonese cuisine and adopts the strengths of various local flavors. , It also brought glory to Jingbang cuisine.

The most distinctive dishes are roast duck and mutton.

Roast duck is a famous dish in Kyoto. Instant-boiled mutton, roast beef, and roasted mutton were originally eaten by ethnic minorities in the north. In the murals of the tombs of the Liao Dynasty, there are scenes of people eating boiled mutton around a hot pot.

The ingredients used in instant mutton are rich and varied, and the taste is delicious, and its preparation method is almost well-known to every household.

It's a pity that no one eats hot-boiled mutton at noon, and it's not suitable to eat that in such a hot weather.

So what they ate was rice noodles. People in the capital and the imperial city are very particular about the rice noodles. This table is very particular about the rice noodles. Four cold dishes and four hot dishes, eight dishes, and two soups make it perfect.

The staple food is fragrant rice and silver silk rolls.

Beaulieu Vegetables, Sixi Meatballs, Fushou Knuckles, Chestnut Jinta Meat.

Three non-stick, snow peach puree, fried toon fish, mahjong preserved winter melon.

Although there were only three people eating, most of the dining table was filled.

There is no wine, but a kind of homemade sour plum soup, which is more sweet and less sour, the little heavenly master likes it.

Now Du Weigang is only concerned with pleasing the little celestial master, and he no longer thinks about whether Dugu Haoyan likes to drink such things.

Although he doesn't like the drink either.

No matter how natural and homemade it is, it is not as good as wine. If you don't drink white wine, you can drink red wine.

Unfortunately, he found out that the little celestial master doesn't seem to like western things very much, and he doesn't like eating and drinking, so no one has invited the little celestial master to eat western food or drink foreign wine, because Dugu Haoyan said, Dao Miao Don't love those ones.

Treating guests to western food costs hundreds of dollars, why not invite him to eat iron pot stew, he can't get enough of western food... By the way, if western food can fill you up, how much will it cost?

Unless it is a self-service western restaurant.

That little celestial master must be full!

But who can invite little celestial masters to eat western food, which one can choose to eat buffet?

It's a thankless thing, these people know the wrong way after doing it once, and the next time they treat guests, it will be much more straightforward. For example, Luan Maoxue, after he invited guests once, he changed the place the second time. There are small restaurants in the village, big earthen kangs, wood-fired stoves, and open river fish caught in the stewed river. The little celestial master smiled happily at the meal.

Du Weigang didn't care about Dugu Haoyan, that doesn't mean Daomiao didn't care, he liked the sour plum juice very much, but he went to the living room to get a teapot, there was still half a pot of jasmine tea in it, and a cup was placed on Dugu Haoyan To the front: "If you don't like to drink that, just drink some tea and don't drink. During this time, not only you, but Boss Du also don't drink, and stay sober at all times."

It was actually an excuse, he just didn't want Dugu Haoyan to drink, because he knew that Dugu Haoyan didn't like drinking.

So I simply said that drinking is not allowed, and of course, smoking is not allowed.

"Cigarettes... can't you smoke?" Du Weigang was worried. It wasn't that he was addicted to cigarettes, but that he smoked one or two cigars from time to time.

"Stop smoking, smoking one will save you one day of life." The little celestial master directly changed the one minute off life into one day off.

To scare Du Weigang.

"Hey, if you don't smoke, don't smoke. Come, eat, eat, these are all authentic Beijing cuisine." Du Weigang hurriedly greeted the two of them to eat, and at the same time remembered it in his heart, next time he will prepare a separate meal for Dugu Haoyan Use the tea.

The meal was quite enjoyable. Boss Du didn't eat much, so he kept introducing the dishes to them.

It is more comprehensive than what the waiter in a five-star hotel said, just like the chef himself.

After eating and drinking enough, and resting for a while, the little celestial master asked Boss Du for the birthdays of the living members of his family.

"Are you going to tell a fortune?" Du Weigang hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his bag. It seemed that he had prepared it long ago, and looked at the little celestial master excitedly. His family believed in traditional Taoism.

"It doesn't count, I just take a look." The little celestial master didn't say that he was doing the math in his head, he was afraid that Boss Du would insist on fortune-telling, so he said, "Look at the fortune of your family, don't ask, just ask me." I won't say it either."

"But I was in the Huangjue Temple, so I asked the master there to approve my horoscope. He said that I was unlucky in the past, and sure enough, I was unlucky." Du Weigang complained: "It's not just me, but also my wife. , died too, that’s right.”

That means, please approve it too?

"Buddhas say: Those who keep the precepts are not allowed to sell or trade, set up farms, raise people, slaves, and animals. All plantings and all kinds of treasures should be kept away, just like avoiding a fire pit." The little heavenly master said: "Do not cut down vegetation. , Cultivate the soil and dig the ground, combine decoctions and medicines, predict good and bad times, look up at the stars, push the steps to fill the void, and count and calculate, all of which should not be done."

The ancient meaning of what he said was disconcerting, but Du Weigang was at a loss: "What do you mean?"

"It means that according to the precepts of Buddhism, disciples are not allowed to tell fortunes to others, let alone criticize horoscopes." Dugu Haoyan said dumbfoundedly: "You ask for fortune-telling, but you also give money to others, right?"

"That person said he was a great master, and many people believed it. I gave a donation of 100 million." Du Weigang said: "It is said that it will be used to build a temple, and a golden Buddha will be invited back."
