Chapter 41 Mr. Wait for Me
It was noon, and there were crowds of people in Yingling County.
Amid the shuttle bustling crowd, Zhang Xuan was wearing a long gown, pacing in one step and wandering around the street.
"What should I eat today? Roast chicken? Sauce duck? Or go eat some osmanthus cake?"
There are a wide variety of snacks and restaurants on the street, and Zhang Xuan couldn't make a decision for a while.
Before he knew it, Zhang Xuan came to Yingqing Tower again. The waiter at the door recognized Zhang Xuan and hurriedly came forward.
"Customer, you are here again, hurry up and sit in there."
Zhang Xuan looked at the waiter, "Does there be osmanthus cake today?"
The waiter smiled and said, "It's not just the osmanthus cake. Our store has newly launched locust flower cake. It's so fragrant that the customer won't try it?"
"Lotus Flower Cake?" Zhang Xuan felt excited after hearing this.
"That's right, now it's the time when the locust flowers are in full bloom. Our store specially went to the mountains to pick the best locust flowers, plus rice, flour, oil and sugar, and sprinkled with fine salt. The steamed locust flower cake is sweet and delicious, and it has a bit of salt. But it has made many people in Yingling County."
When Zhang Xuan heard this, his mouth was a little wet and thought to himself: "Can you still have the delicious food that my mother made when she was a child?"
When I was a child, my mother would always use a pole to make some of the locust flowers in full bloom, rinse them with clean water, then sprinkle them with flour, and steam them with fine salt. When the pot is boiled, the aroma is scent.
Thinking of this, the greed was already aroused, Zhang Xuan hurriedly walked upstairs.
"Come on a plate and try it."
"Okay, please come upstairs."
When he arrived at the second floor, Zhang Xuan chose a seat by the window. The waiter quickly pulled over the rag that was placed on his shoulder and symbolically wiped two handfuls on the table.
"Customer, wait, come soon." After that, he ran downstairs in a hurry.
Zhang Xuan sat in front of the window and poked his head out of the window.
Downstairs, there were crowds of people, hawking and bargaining sounds one after another, what a fun world full of fireworks!
After a while, Zhang Xuan, who was looking out, suddenly felt a faint fragrance surged into his nose.
The sweet fragrance also has a greasy smell.
Zhang Xuan turned around and saw that the waiter had already placed a plate of locust flower cake in front of Zhang Xuan.
"Customer, please."
Zhang Xuan looked at the locust flower cake on the table, which was obviously much more refined than what his mother had made before.
Pick up the chopsticks, reached out to pick up a piece, put it in your mouth.
In an instant, the sweetness of locust flowers, the rich oil and the slightly salty salt of fine salt instantly occupied the taste buds on the tip of Zhang Xuan's tongue.
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
The taste buds had been opened, and Zhang Xuan was no longer polite and ate all the food after taking a few seconds.
After eating, put down the chopsticks and looked at the empty plate in front of him, a feeling of indescribable emptiness suddenly surged in Zhang Xuan's heart.
Although the locust flower cake here is extremely delicious, he still missed the kind he had eaten in his childhood.
After a long period of sadness, Zhang Xuan finally stood up and walked slowly down the first floor.
"Customer, have you finished eating?" The waiter came up with a flattering face.
Zhang Xuan nodded, came to the counter, reached out to take out some copper coins from his arms, counted them and pinched them on the counter, and then slowly walked out of Yingqing Tower.
"Huh? This guest seems to be in a bad mood today," the waiter came to the counter account room. Zhang Xuan often came here to eat and drink, and he had already known both of them.
"Is it because today's locust flower cake is not good?"
At this time, Zhang Xuan, who was wandering on the street, was still walking aimlessly, watching while walking.
Suddenly, Zhang Xuan walked to a sparsely populated street. On the open space next to him, a peddler was hawking some miscellaneous items.
Zhang Xuan suddenly thought that this place was the place where the scholar Chen Anxia sold his characters. With the money he gave, Chen Anxia lost many worries and could study and prepare for the exam at home with peace of mind.
Since the separation that day, Zhang Xuan visited several times. Chen Anxia is gentle and humble in character, and Zhang Xuan likes it very much. He writes well and writes articles with a unique charm. Therefore, it is also an interesting thing to talk about poetry and books with him.
However, it is May now, and Chen Anxia is preparing for the August autumn exam, so Zhang Xuan no longer disturbs him.
After wandering for a while, Zhang Xuan realized that it was getting late, so he bought a bun of fragrant rice for Azhu on the street, put it in his arms, and walked towards Shouyang Mountain.
At this time, behind Zhang Xuan, someone followed him from afar.
This man is burly and has a long sword around his waist. It turns out that he is Wang Er.
Since that day Gao Han asked him to find Zhang Xuan as soon as possible, Wang Er searched everywhere. Just now, he saw that the person who was buying fragrant rice in front of him looked similar to Zhang Xuan, so he followed him from afar.
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Xuan had already walked out of Yingling County. It was sparsely populated here, so Zhang Xuan no longer had to hide his magic powers. He silently recited the magic formula and took several feet in one step.
Wang Er, who was originally following Zhang Xuan, suddenly saw that the distance between Zhang Xuan and him was instantly widened. He was a little panicked, afraid of losing the person, so he shouted quickly,
"Mr. Zhang!"
At this time, Zhang Xuan had already used the method of moving and shrinking the ground, and had already walked dozens of feet away, and seemed not to care about the shouting behind him.
Wang Er also practiced martial arts since he was a child and had a good body of light skills. So he quickly started to use light skills and walked forward quickly.
In a wilderness, Zhang Xuan and Wang Eryi were in front and behind, but no matter how Wang Er used his skills, the distance between him and Zhang Xuan was getting bigger and bigger. In a blink of an eye, there was only a black dot left in Zhang Xuan's back.
Wang Er was already sweating and panting at this time, "What's going on? Why are you chasing farther and farther? This Mr. Zhang is indeed a miraculous person."
Wang Er was unwilling to give up, so he continued to do his best and chased him tightly.
As he chased, Zhang Xuan's figure finally disappeared near Shouyang Mountain.
Losing the target, Wang Er stood there in a daze.
Hu... Hu...
With a heavy breath, Wang Er raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
However, although it was lost, the general location should be nearby. Wang Er took a break for a while and was still unwilling to accept it, so he walked forward again, hoping to find some clues.
At this time, Zhang Xuan had already stepped into the gate of the courtyard.
When Ah Zhu saw Zhang Xuan coming back, he jumped off the wall and ran over with his wings.
"Did you find it?"
But Ah Zhu just tilted his head and looked at Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan smiled helplessly, reached out to take out the paper bag in his arms, opened the paper bag, and then sprinkled the fragrant rice on the ground.
Azhu instantly pecked rice on the ground happily.
At this time, Xu Xunzhi's door was pushed open, and Xu Xunzhi walked out of the room, but he was carrying a bag on his back.
When he saw the exhibition hall, Xu Xunzhi bowed and said, "Mr. Zhang is back? He is just about to say goodbye to you."
"Farewell? Where are you going?" Zhang Xuan walked up.
"It's mid-May now, it's time for me to go back to Yunmen Mountain to prepare for the selection of the Immortal Sect."
"Selecting the Immortal Sect?" It was the first time Zhang Xuan heard this statement and couldn't help but feel curious.
