Put 12 wontons in the pot, boil them in boiling water until they float, pick up the wontons and put them in a bowl, then pour a tablespoon of chicken broth. Minced coriander, chili oil and balsamic vinegar are placed on a small table aside, and customers can add them according to their own tastes.

Qin Le added a tablespoon of vinegar to the bowl and nodded straight while sitting on a small chair by the roadside. Gu Qingqiao came back with two bowls of wontons, one was filled with coriander and red oil, the other was light, but he asked his mother-in-law to add half a spoonful of chicken soup.

Gu Qingqiao put the bowl full of chicken soup wontons in front of Mu Xiyun, "Come on, her chicken soup is good, drink more soup."

Mu Xiyun took the chopsticks and picked up a wonton to eat slowly. The meat is delicious, the shrimp is crispy, and the chicken soup is even more fragrant, and it really lives up to its reputation. Qin Le had already finished one bowl at this time, and after begging for the second bowl, he devoured it again.

Gu Qingqiao ate the wontons in the bowl in two or three mouthfuls, took the chicken soup with red and green wontons that night, drank half the bowl in one go, stood up and walked towards Granny Tang again. Mu Xiyun looked at his back with a bit of amusement. Why didn't he find out that he could eat so much before?

There were many customers at this time, and Granny Tang was a little too busy. Gu Qingqiao put down the bowl and went to the next stall to buy two strings of fried sugar cakes. Just as he was about to pay with the sugar cake in his hand, he suddenly felt someone approaching quickly.

Gu Qingqiao reacted very quickly, and immediately turned sideways and looked up at the man.

It was a tall man, tall and straight, with a square face. Wearing a golden crown on his head and a black robe trimmed with gold, he is graceful and luxurious. It's just that he stayed there at this time, and the right hand that he wanted to shoot at Gu Qingqiao was still raised at the moment, which seemed a little embarrassing.

His eyes swept across the ancient green bridge, and there was a little doubt on the face of the visitor, but he quickly returned to nature. He put down his hand and said: "I'm sorry for the offense, I seem to have recognized the wrong person."

Gu Qingqiao smiled and said, "It's okay."

The two passed by, Gu Qingqiao paid for the sugar cake, and looked back at the man again. He turned around and returned to the wonton stand, brought his bowl of wontons, and returned to the table.

Distributing the sugar cakes to the two, Gu Qingqiao looked at the table a little distracted.

"That person... is there any problem?" Mu Xiyun asked in a low voice.

"It should be the wrong person." Gu Qingqiao replied.

Since revealing his identity in front of Mu Xiyun, Gu Qingqiao has begun to restore his appearance little by little. After all, he always runs around with a face full of Gu bugs, which is rather scary to think about. But this matter can't be rushed, and he has to find a reliable argument to explain to Qin Le and others, so up to now, he has just recovered the shape of his eyes.

I don't know if it was because the daily changes were too small or because Qin Le's heart was big, but he didn't notice any changes in Gu Qingqiao.

But a little similarity is not enough for people to recognize, but when the man passed Gu Qingqiao, he clearly sounded: "Han Hua Xiaozhu, waiting for the big driver."

I don't know if the visitor is an enemy or a friend. Gu Qingqiao doesn't want to let the two companions participate for the time being, so he has to perfunctory.

Mu Xiyun gave him a deep look and said nothing.

After eating another bowl of wontons, Gu Qingqiao swallowed the sugar cake in two mouthfuls, looked up at Mu Xiyun, Xiao Xianjun looked at the sugar cake, and then looked at the remaining wontons in the bowl, a little hesitant. Undecided.

Gu Qingqiao laughed, pulled the bowl of wontons that were almost cold to him, and handed the steaming sugar cake to Mu Xiyun's eyes, smiling: "If you like sweets, eat them quickly, if you don't have enough. Bought it for you."

Mu Xiyun raised his eyes and wanted to speak, but Gu Qingqiao had already picked up the few remaining wontons to eat, drank another sip of chicken soup, raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows at the piece of sugar cake.

Mu Xiyun hurriedly lowered her head to eat the cake.

At this time, all the small tables and chairs in front of Granny Tang's stall were full of people. On a mildly hot evening in early summer, with the cool sea breeze blowing, the guests chatted comfortably while eating.

"Have you heard? The king boat will be delivered on the beach in Xiaoshi Village tomorrow night."

"Yes, yes, this ceremony is held every three years. This year, it is Xiaoshi Village's turn. They have been preparing for half a year. I heard that there is a secret ceremony."

"What secret ceremony?"

The person who told the news lowered his voice: "I also heard that Xiaoshi Village caught a mixed-race child of the demon race. This time, when sending the king ship, he will use that mixed-race bastard as a blood sacrifice."

Although the speaker's voice was low, it could not escape the sensitive senses of the immortal cultivator. The three of Mu Xiyun looked at each other, Qin Le was surprised, while Gu Qingqiao's face sank directly.

Chapter 44 Fishing Village

The so-called "send the king's boat" is a custom in coastal areas. It is said that a local magistrate, one night, met an emissary from the heavens and poured plague medicine into the well, and wanted to poison the people who did bad things as punishment. For the sake of his own people, he deceived the messenger of heaven to get the poison, which he swallowed and died. In order to thank him, the local people made him king.

After that, every three years, the ceremony of "sending the king ship" will be held. After the time was determined by divination, the ship was imitated with white paper. Although it is made of paper, it is also very realistic and complex. In addition to masts and sails, there are various cabins, halls and other buildings on the ship. The hull is painted with dragon and phoenix patterns, and paper soldiers are placed on the deck.

On the day of divination, people send boats into the water and let the boats drift down the water or burn them to show off the plague and pray for the coming year.

As for blood sacrifice, it was a custom a long time ago, and it was mostly done to enhance the effect of blessing when a plague really occurred. Unexpectedly, in this beautiful city of mountains and seas, there are people who want to restore such cruel customs.

After the guests at the back table finished their wontons, they discussed going to the flower street, and walked away shoulder to shoulder.

Mu Xiyun glanced at Gu Qingqiao, where the storm was brewing, and gently touched his hand, "Let's go."

The three got up, Qin Le rushed to pay the bill, and the three slowly returned to the inn along the original road.

Back at the inn, Gu Qingqiao has returned to calm, and he instructed the young man to bring hot water to the three of them, and then go back to their rooms to wash and rest.

The night gradually quieted down, and there were waves of sea waves in the distance.

A figure flashed in a guest room of Tinghai Inn, a figure turned out from the window, and after a few ups and downs, he came to the outside of the inn. The person came in black hair and black clothes, and only tied his long hair with a silver hairband. Ancient Green Bridge.
