Patriarch enjoys meal

Zhou, the party involved in weeding: I regret it now, very regretful.

Tao's house is really big, and Zhou Ran's physical strength and excitement have been exhausted after pulling out the gate to the weeds on the screen wall. When Tao Jiangka was preparing himself for psychological training, he set out for the inner courtyard Speak in a timely manner: "You still have injuries on your hands, so come here today first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Zhou Jiran was a little embarrassed looking at his trouser legs covered in mud. He was the one who proposed to pull the weeds. As a result, most of the work was done by Tao Jiang silently. He rushed forward, followed by an adult who was finishing up for him, "I'm sorry, but sometimes I just want to get out."

Tao Jiang looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Now is the time to weed, thank you for helping me."

Damn, why did this person suddenly open up!

Zhou Jiran felt as if he had jumped into a little rabbit that had eaten popping candy, jumping around in a mess.

It's really lack of exercise, it's exhausting to pull a grass!Zhou already secretly reflected.

After learning the news that Zhou Jiran was going to move out to live with Tao Jiang, the dormitory exploded.

Song Gu hugged the computer and his eyes glowed: "Cumin, may I send you to the homepage of the campus forum? The one that is more refined and popular."

Zhou Jiran was trying his best to stuff the thick winter clothes into the suitcase, when he heard this, he rolled his eyes in a friendly way: "Yes, how about I give you a Mercury retrograde set meal as a return gift?"

Song Gu is a hero and chooses to keep his mouth shut.

Thanks to Xu Xinwen's unlucky experience during this period, the people in their dormitory have successfully opened the door to the new world. Metaphysics is something that you can laugh at when you don't believe it, no matter how gaudy others say, but once you A little shaken, all the coincidences can be traced, which makes people feel awe.

Chen An helped Zhou Weiran to zip up the suitcase, feeling a little emotional: "I didn't expect that Cumin would be the first to leave the dormitory, and if I wanted to save a game, I would miss one out of four."

"Boss, you are going back to your hometown to work soon, and your second child is also preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination." Zhou Jiran patted Chen An on the shoulder and comforted him: "Think about the good, our dormitory has found a way forward, and there are few people in this world. Three salted fish is a good thing."

Unexpectedly, Song Gu slapped the table to protest: "Hello? Are you there? Kangkang me! There is also a lost salted fish here!"

Zhou Weiran: "Don't belittle yourself, your spirit and ability to fight on the front line of eating melons all these years, can you be a salted fish? You are the star of our dormitory."

Satisfied, Song Gu handed over the sundries packed in boxes for Zhou Jiran, "Cumin, what are you doing moving out in such a hurry, we are all at the end of our cohabitation life."

Zhou already thought of the large weeds left in Tao's house, and sighed: "I have to take advantage of the good weather to pull out the weeds in the yard."

Xu Xinwen, who had been silent for a while, asked, "Which mountain are you moving to?"

"An ancient house, barren grass, a great beauty." Song Gu clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Tao Jiang's fox has a solid hammer!"

"...in Luoshu Street in the city center." Zhou already didn't understand what Song Gu was excited about: "What are you talking about?"

Song Gu explained: "Tao Jiang is the nightmare of our school's male students! Do you know how many girls in our school have their hearts taken away by him? There are so many bloody cases, those who hear it are hard to read..."

"So?" Zhou already interrupted his foreshadowing.

Song Gu directly asked the question: "Tao Jiang, someone gave him the nickname Xincheng University Fox."

"..." Zhou Weiran: "You don't even know how hard he worked..." Supporting and repairing an old house that eats money.

"Here it is, a classic brainwashed fan speaks!" Song Gu said with bitterness on his face, "Tao Jiang really has profound skills, even Cumin can't escape his clutches."

Zhou already ignored him.

The next day, when Zhou Jiran dragged his luggage and pushed open the gate of Tao's house, he wanted to beat Song Gu's brains and tell him to spread rumors every day!Tao Jiang is clearly a little angel!

The yard that was still overgrown with weeds yesterday was tidy and tidy after one night. The removed weeds were neatly stacked in the corner of the yard, and even the doors and windows of the wing rooms were wiped down.

Tao Jiang heard a voice poking his head out from the kitchen window: "Put your luggage in the room and come to eat. Make something casually. I don't know if you are used to it."

Zhou Ziran ate his first meal in Tao Zhai in the courtyard. The dining table was placed under the ginkgo tree, which was cool and pleasant.

Bite the soft and plump pork ribs in his mouth, looking at the painting-like person sitting across from him, Zhou already wanted to hammer Song Gu even more.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhou Weiran and Tao Jiang leaned on the chairs to rest their minds. The early summer sun warmed the ginkgo branches and leaves, and the wind blew and rustled.

Zhou Jiran looked up at the ginkgo above his head, and suddenly asked: "This tree grows so well, there should be a lot of ginkgo fruit in autumn, right?"

The smell of ripe ginkgo nuts that are about to fall... Tsk.

Tao Jiang was reminded of the darkest autumn every year in his memory by his words, and his expression was heavy.

Zhou Jiran comforted: "It's okay, I will draw you a breath-holding amulet this autumn, and you will never smell it."

"......thanks."

"Why do you think our small stall is so hot?" Zhou already began to worry, "We can't even advertise in this business."

The endless topic suddenly turned 180 degrees, and Tao Jiang actually kept up with his rhythm: "Except for some wandering Taoist priests, most of them rely on word of mouth. If there is demand, they will naturally come to the door."

"It makes sense." Zhou already thought of those people who traveled all the way to ask his grandfather to do business, rain or shine.Although I am not as good as my grandfather, it shouldn't be a problem to have enough food and clothing, right?

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapon. I'd better make up the talismans first." Zhou Jiran rubbed his forehead: "I still have a female ghost's hatred buff on me, this time I need to make more damage. strong."

Tao Jiang took out a wooden box from the study: "This is the tool used by the old man in my family to draw symbols. See if you can still use it."

Looking at the bright and slightly polished cinnabar and various medicinal herbs in the box, Zhou Jiran sighed in his heart: a big family.

Tao Jiang took out a palm-sized stone mill, and skillfully ground the cinnabar into powder and poured it into a small bowl, "What medicinal materials do I need to add?"

Some Taoist priests will prepare cinnabar before drawing talismans, and mix some medicines into the cinnabar according to different purposes of the amulets. The common ones are realgar and angelica. The spirituality of the soul plays an auxiliary and strengthening role.But these all have precise prescriptions and special sacrificial methods.

Zhou Jiran was holding a jug of wine pulled out of the box with a dazed expression, how did he know that, God didn't teach him the prescription for drawing talismans.

But he immediately adjusted his mentality.

"Don't add those!" Zhou Weiran said while pouring wine into the cinnabar in the bowl to mix it up: "Adding it also restricts the direction of my drawing symbols!"

Well, there is too much wine, add some cinnabar to stir, dry it up, pour some more wine...

After Zhou's already quite inexperienced debugging, he finally got a bucket of paint.

"OK! I'm ready!" Zhou already grabbed a new brush and was eager to try. He was going to finish drawing the talismans for the next few months in one go.

The second Zhou Ziran put his pen down, he devoted himself to it, and was fascinated by the painting without being disturbed by foreign objects. The sitting posture that was still upright at the beginning also slowly relaxed, and gradually he threw himself on the table.The speed of drawing characters is also getting faster and faster.

Tao Jiang looked at him sitting like a child writing, feeling very complicated.

Talismans are divided into congenital talismans and acquired talismans.

The preparatory work before painting the talisman is not serious and cumbersome. Clean hands, mouth, body, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, set up incense tables, burn incense, invite God, and pray. You have to spray Dharma water, pray for the second time, prostrate, and send God off.Some exquisite Taoist priests even fasted a few days in advance to prepare when drawing important talismans.

Although a Taoist leader with profound knowledge and practice can also simplify the steps according to the situation, and there are also sword formulas in an emergency, but this level is rare after all.

However, what Zhou Ziran drew at this time was an innate talisman.With a little brilliance, you can get it done.

Tao Jiang remembered the last time he bit his middle finger and used his finger to make a ligature to form a formation, and he formed a formation as soon as he closed the pen.Definitely a genius.

It's just this day's crooked sitting posture. I don't know if it's too late to correct it now.

It was already afternoon when Zhou had finished drawing the talismans, and after putting the brush back into the pen holder, he felt that the Five Viscera Mansion was already empty. Zhou already lay down on the table, clutching his stomach in protest: "Drawing talismans is really tiring!"

He is tired and hungry now, concentrating on one thing for too long, and feels his body is hollowed out after getting out of that state.

"Drawing talismans is exhausting. If you draw so many at once, you will naturally be tired." Tao Jiang put the dinner in front of him: "Draw less next time."

Zhou already took two mouthfuls of food, barely stopped the burning hunger in his stomach, and nodded in agreement: "Sure enough, we should follow the path of sustainable development."

"I have a premonition that I'm going to gain weight." Zhou Jiran finally put down the job that he had added three times: "Tao Jiang, your cooking is so delicious!"

"You're just hungry."

"I'm serious! If my roommate knows my current working environment, I don't know how much he will envy me." Zhou Weiran nodded to increase the credibility of this statement: "It's pleasing to look at with food and shelter!"

Hearing his words, Tao Jiang finally couldn't hold back and smiled.

"Then I've met someone who appreciates the food I cooked, which is great."

Zhou Jiran also smiled: "No, I'm very picky."

A few hundred meters away is the bustling commercial street. The Tao House at night is not affected by the bustling people nearby. Although it is in the city center, it is as quiet as a mountain forest.

The first night of being roommates was the most suitable time for chatting and getting closer, but Zhou already spent too much energy today and was really tired, so he wanted to go to his bedroom as soon as it was dark.

It was just stopped before it could be put into action.

"Business is here." Tao Jiang held the phone and said, "Guoguo's father's boss wants to create a Fengshui bureau for the ancestral house."

Zhou already became energetic in an instant: "We have a good reputation?"

Tao Jiang nodded: "Papa Guoguo means that if we can be a Fengshui bureau, he will recommend us to his boss."

Zhou Weiran nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes! It must be possible!"

After hearing what he said, Tao Jiang felt better, and immediately replied to Guoguo's father.

It didn't take long for the matter to be settled.

"The boss's surname is Huang. The ancestral house where the Feng Shui Bureau is going to be located is in the next city. The place is quite out of the way. Boss Huang means that he will drive us there tomorrow morning. We will stay overnight in the ancestral house that day. If all goes well, we will be delivered the next day. We'll be back."

"Okay." Zhou already thought about it, and suggested: "This time, it will take at least two days. Why don't we ask someone to lay some bluestone slabs in the yard while we are away? There's no place to step down."

Zhou already remembered the special nature of this house, and asked, "Isn't it against the cultural relics protection regulations to lay bluestone slabs in the yard?"

"As long as it doesn't hurt the ginkgo in the yard, it's fine," Tao Jiang continued, "You can directly contact the staff of the Cultural Relics Restoration Office. They know a lot about this aspect of construction and won't make mistakes."

"It's best to let professionals come there!" Zhou Jiran became more interested, and ran into the room where the sundries were piled up to find a bag of lime, "I want to leave a piece of land in the yard to grow vegetables! piece?"

Zhou Jiran gestured with a small shovel: "We use lime to draw the land to be left, and let them not lay stone slabs in the middle."

Tao Jiang watched him carefully choose the location for a long time, and then carefully shoveled down to draw a crooked lime line on the ground, "You can add mine to draw a bigger vegetable patch."

"It's fine, but we have to leave a small path in the middle, so we can pick vegetables at ordinary times." Zhou already carefully designed the layout of the vegetable field.

Tao Jiang sat and watched him draw one after another crooked and twisted lime lines.

It seems that it can only be remedied and beautified by the staff of the Cultural Relics Restoration Office during construction.
