A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!
Chapter 182: Huangning Temple on Qifeng Mountain
When he heard the waiter in the inn say that someone was looking for him, he immediately straightened his clothes, kept shouting for someone to come in, and he rushed out first to greet him.
When he saw Lin Lao Er, he immediately smiled and greeted him with a bow.
"Ah! Master Lin, please come in quickly!"
When the two met, they exchanged warm greetings.
They walked into the house hand in hand, and Qian Laoliu hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare a table of delicious food.
Lin Lao Er coughed and said, "Sixth Master Qian, please don't spend too much. I am still in mourning."
What a pity.
How much has been delayed for him during these three years of mourning!
Not only can I not get married, but it is also very inconvenient to make more friends and brothers.
As he eats less meat, he is not as strong as before.
Qian Laoliu slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, look at my memory!"
"Then go prepare a vegetarian feast!"
Lin Lao Er said hurriedly, "Although I am in mourning, it is okay for Master Qian Liu to eat meat. There is no need to insist on a vegetarian feast."
Qian Laoliu laughed, "I've been drinking and eating meat with my brothers these days, and my appetite is getting bloated. I just want to eat something light!"
Lin Lao Er was very grateful, "Thank you, Mr. Qian Liu, for your consideration."
The two men sat down as host and guest, and Qian Laoliu's attendants quickly brought over tea and snacks to entertain the guests.
Qian Laoliu had traveled a lot and he highly regarded Lin Laoer, the son of a wealthy family, so when they started greeting each other, they were very enthusiastic and the conversation never got off topic. The two of them got along better and better as they talked, and the room was filled with laughter and chatter.
Several times Qian Laoliu brought the conversation back to that elixir.
"I travel a lot, love to eat and drink, and I also like to drink a lot. My stomach is a little weak, and I get sick from time to time. Sometimes, when the attack is serious, it almost costs me my life!"
"Thanks to Master Lin's elixir, not only did it save my life in the capital, but it also saved me several times when I returned to my hometown!"
Actually, he sold goods from the capital last year, and by chance he bought those small pills and returned to his hometown, Quancheng.
His hometown, Quancheng, is located in the northern border, adjacent to the Beidi. The border residents live together and their customs are different from those in the Central Plains.
For example, they like to eat grilled meat, and often eat it before it is fully cooked. Also, because the climate is bitterly cold for half a year, both the rich and the poor suffer from many diseases that are very different from those of the people in the Central Plains.
However, the small pills that Qian Laoliu got were not used on himself and his family as he said.
This big profiteer, with these small pills, not only made back his capital a long time ago, but also earned several times the money, and even made many powerful local families owe him huge favors.
But can he let Lin Lao Er know about these benefits?
If Lin Lao Er knew about this, would he still let him buy it so easily by spending several hundred taels of silver like he did last time?
But Lin Lao Er was very slippery and just refused to follow his lead.
"Ah? Really? That's a coincidence!"
"In my opinion, there are many famous doctors in the capital. Since Mr. Qian Liu has come to the capital, why not find a famous doctor to prescribe some medicine to regulate his stomach?"
Qian Laoliu covered his abdomen with his hands, his short eyebrows wrinkled, and he looked worried.
"Hey, who said it wasn't!"
"I was sick last year and I consulted several famous doctors, but to no avail!"
"In my opinion, these doctors in Beijing are just ordinary people. Bowl after bowl of bitter medicine soup is not as good as those small pills of yours, Master Lin!"
Having said this, I don’t believe the other party won’t accept it!
However, before the other party could open his mouth, his attendants, led the waiters, and brought a dozen food boxes to deliver a vegetarian banquet!
While Lin Laoer was eating, drinking and chatting with Qian Laoliu, the carriage that Aunt Su was riding in had already left the city gate and arrived at the foot of Qifeng Mountain.
When Lin Yanniang went out, she took a horse-drawn carriage, and then Aunt Su took the carriage she usually rode in. Lin Yanniang sat in the Su family's carriage, and let Aunt Jiao and the maids sit in her carriage and lead the way in front.
Seeing the carriage stop, Lin Yanniang explained with a smile.
"Mother, Huangning Temple is halfway up the mountain. There are stone steps all the way from the foot of the mountain to Huangning Temple, a total of 200 steps. Pilgrims who want to go to Huangning Temple will park their carriages at several guest houses at the foot of the mountain, rest for a while or have a meal, and then walk up the mountain to worship."
Aunt Su smiled and nodded.
The women got off the carriage and went into the guest house.
The Huangning Temple on Qifeng Mountain is frequented by noble ladies from the capital. There have been two guesthouses at the foot of the mountain for a hundred years.
By now, more and more guest houses have been built, and now there are more than ten of them, which are naturally divided into different grades.
Most of the guest houses look like ordinary houses.
Lin Yanniang led Aunt Su into a guest house.
"Mother, I have asked someone to book a room for us. Let's take a rest, have some refreshments, and look at the scenery outside."
Aunt Su understood as soon as she entered the house.
It turned out that the guest house was very clean and there were several flower windows on the side facing the mountain.
Guests can sit by the window, enjoy the cool breeze, drink tea and watch the scenery of Qifeng Mountain.
After they sat down, Aunt Su took the tea poured by the maids and took a few sips.
After eating another dessert, I looked out the window and admired the scenery of the sky and mountains.
Although Aunt Su's retirement home is in the mountains with beautiful mountain views, Qifeng Mountain was chosen to build the Huangning Temple, so it must have its unique features. At this time, the flowers are lush, the trees are magnificent, and the mountains are magnificent, creating a beautiful scenery of a different style.
The two little guys were also curious and excited.
Hu Ge'er was born with a weak body, so he had never been to Qifeng Mountain. Shan Jie'er had been here twice, but both times, the whole He family came with them, and everyone was surrounding Old Madam He. The cousins were not very close to Shan Jie'er. Shan Jie'er was still young and had not yet learned to entertain herself, so both experiences were not very good.
How could it be like today, when she was hanging out with her mother and grandmother, feeling free and unrestrained, and when she wanted to eat or drink, she didn't even have to ask, as it would be brought to her.
Shan Jie'er and Hu Ge'er were lying in front of the window, heads together, pointing outside, chattering and laughing, just like little mice that had fallen into a rice jar.
Lin Yanniang also felt that this trip was particularly relaxing and comfortable.
While pouring tea for his mother, he told her some strange stories and legends about Qifeng Mountain.
It felt like they had been sitting for at least half an hour. Aunt Su raised her wrist, looked at the watch on her wrist, and said, "Well, it's time now. Let's go hiking."
Lin Yanniang caught a glimpse of Aunt Su wearing a watch on her wrist.
The style is somewhat similar to the one given to He Sanlang, but it is smaller and more delicate, and is indeed suitable for women to wear. However, this watch is also much simpler.
The silver-gray dial and silver-gray strap have almost no decoration, but it matches Aunt Su's outfit today very well.
Lin Yanniang herself had a pocket watch that was not much different, but she was afraid that others would see it and become jealous, so even if she carried it with her, she would hide it in her arms and only take it out to look at it when she needed it.
Two hundred steps did sound a bit difficult for the ladies. After all, most of them had to stop and rest after a stroll in their own gardens because their legs and feet felt too tired.
Fortunately, this is a royal temple with the most popular incense. The temple is not short of money at all. The 200 steps are all made of fine stone slabs, paved flat and smooth. The steps are not high, and there are guardrails on both sides. At the 108th step, there is a pavilion where you can rest and enjoy the scenery. This is for fear of tiring the nobles!
When Aunt Su lived in Sujiazhuang, she also had the road leading to the Suxian Temple on Wuming Mountain repaired. But compared with this, the road on Wuming Mountain is simply not worth mentioning.
They arrived at Lianting easily.
Aunt Su's purpose of coming to Qifeng Mountain was not to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Therefore, it is natural to sit in the pavilion and enjoy the scenery.
The maids came over with a smile and asked what we wanted to eat.
Aunt Su and Lin Yanniang had already had tea and snacks at the foot of the mountain, so naturally they didn't want to eat anything at this moment.
Instead, the two little guys blinked their big eyes and clamored to eat instant noodles!
Aunt Su had not originally thought of making this instant noodles. There are fresh ones on the farm, and who would eat junk food!
Isn't it for the convenience of eating and drinking in the capital that people have to do so much?
This thing doesn't require any high-tech content. You can make it after a few tries. In addition, when you make it at home, you use the best flour and oil. Put the curly little noodles in a small cup, pour in hot water, sprinkle with a little bit of chopped coriander and green onions that have been prepared in advance, and then put a boiled egg in it. The aroma... Even if you are not hungry, you can't help but drool.
"Eat if you want!"
Aunt Su is a person who dotes on her children. These two children are not naughty at all. After spending these days with them, she really treats them as her own children.
She waved her hand and the servants started to work.
When they went up the mountain, they brought a lot of miscellaneous items with them.
At this moment, someone lit up the charcoal stove, boiled some water in a small silver kettle, took out two small pieces of instant noodles, and put them in two small cups...
Lin Yanniang looked at it in surprise.
When the two children returned to He's house, they kept telling her that the noodles were the most delicious in the world.
Sure enough, it smells... quite tempting now.
"Well, they are both craving for this instant noodles and keep saying how delicious it is. It makes me curious too. So let's make another cup."
If they were living leisurely in the manor, Aunt Su would definitely go to a porcelain shop to customize some cute mugs and instant noodle cups for her two children.
But didn’t they come in a hurry?
So they had to ask someone to go to the porcelain shop in Tongcheng and buy a few medium-sized cups with handles.
This instant noodle tastes unique, probably because it is made in a cup.
Kids, don’t you just love something new?
In the past, we only used bowls to eat noodles, but now we use cups instead. Isn’t it interesting?
As soon as the noodles were soaked, the mother and her two children each held a cup and ate with a special small silver fork. Even though Lin Yanniang ate very elegantly without making any sound, she still looked like she was enjoying the meal very much.
Aunt Su doesn't want to be tricked by the three of them into eating junk food.
Young people have a fast metabolism, but the same cannot be said for the elderly. If they eat a little more, they will gain weight!
So Aunt Su turned her gaze into the distance.
At the foot of the mountain, one carriage after another came slowly and stopped in front of the guesthouse. Several noble ladies dressed in bright and colorful clothes got off the carriages and walked into the guesthouse leisurely.
I don’t know who are these people?
Aunt Su was muttering to herself, and at this moment, a group of people came down the steps leading up the mountain.
There was originally a pavilion built here for people to rest.
Moreover, this pavilion is divided into two, one in the east and one in the west.
Aunt Su and her friends were sitting on the west side at the moment, so the pavilion on the east side was empty, so the two groups could occupy each side and not disturb each other.
However, the mountain path was not steep and was easy to walk on. The other party was walking down the mountain, so logically there was no need for them to rest in the pavilion.
This group of people, including the master and the servants, totaled about twenty people, more than the number of people brought by Aunt Su and her group.
Judging from their clothes, they were also very gorgeous and luxurious. Surrounded by servants were three masters, a lady in her thirties, with a girl of fourteen or fifteen, and a fat boy in his early ten years old.
Aunt Su looked him up and down from a distance, and when the person came closer, she turned her eyes away. After all, staring at the other person was very rude.
But suddenly a shout was heard on the mountain road.
"What a nice smell! What smells so good?"
This voice is obviously that of an underdeveloped boy.
"Young Master is hungry. I will go get some snacks right away."
"Brother, we will be going down the mountain soon. When we get to the guesthouse, can you ask them to make you a bowl of soup?"
"I just smell really good. Can you smell it, sister?"
The young boy sniffed hard, looked around, and saw Lin Yanniang and her group.
The young boy jumped down three steps and walked into the pavilion. When he got closer, he found that the fragrance came from the pavilion on the other side!
It was obvious that no one knew which family it was in the pavilion. Three people were holding cups and eating something...
Especially the little girl, who looked two years younger than him. She was holding a small silver fork in her hand, picking up a few twisted things and eating them with a gusto!
The young boy's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Then, what is that?"
Although he was greedy, he was a son of a wealthy family after all, so he didn't feel comfortable going over to ask. He could only swallow his saliva and look at the maid who followed him.
The maid also looked confused.
Yes, the fragrance was extremely strong, but she had never seen the way people were eating it and the utensils used!
"Well, young master, I don't know either."
At this time, the noble lady and the young girl saw their little boy running into the pavilion, so they had no choice but to follow him into the pavilion.
The lady looked over and thought of sending her servant over to ask.
My youngest son loves food the most. If he doesn't get to eat something delicious, he won't be able to sleep well at night.
