The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 670: Old-time Noodle Soup (asking for monthly tickets, three updates today)
What can be seen in sharp contrast is that the weaving workshop was locked early, and although the temple next to it is also a small courtyard, there are still people coming and going even in a small county like Li County.

Over the years, even the threshold has almost been worn away.

Because of such bustle, a small market naturally formed around the temple.

The vendors each carried a load on their shoulders. Some sold incense and candles for offerings; some set up stalls to sell cheap thick jackets and coarse woolen cloaks; there were also stalls selling snacks, with oil splashing in the pots, charcoal fires sizzling, and the aroma filling the air, attracting many children who had just returned home from school.

Although the bustle in front of us is far less prosperous than Qinghe, nor as grand as Chang'an, it is also full of the flavor of life.

At this time, the rich aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafts over.

Seeing that Li Ming was actually looking at it with interest, Liu Sheng took the initiative to ask, "Sister Li Ming, do you want to try it?"

Li Ming immediately nodded happily.

But then he frowned.

"How am I going to taste it?"

Liu Sheng blinked and gave a mysterious smile.

After a while, "Liu Sheng" held a hot sweet potato and clumsily peeled off the skin, revealing the sweet potato that was roasted in a caramel color by charcoal fire, with honey flowing out of it.

She took a careful bite and her tongue felt painfully burned, but then a sweet fragrance came to her.

"Liu Sheng" stuck out his tongue and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I burned your tongue."

Liu Sheng in his heart said: [It’s okay, I forgot to remind you that the roasted sweet potatoes are very hot, so you should blow on them before eating.]

So he played the Liu Sheng while nibbling on the food.

Because I was right next to the temple door, I could hear the conversations of passers-by walking out of the door.

"Unfortunately, Priest Song is busy receiving pilgrims today, so we can only come back tomorrow."

"yes……"

"You're lucky you got to chat with her for a while."

Another woman smiled and said, "Indeed, after chatting with Priest Song for a few words, I feel much better."

"It's so enviable."

"However, I did receive a bottle of pear blossom wine from Priest Song as a gift, as an apology for the long wait today..."

As soon as the girl took out a small white bottle, she immediately attracted the envious glances of her female companions.

"Why don't we have it!"

"Maybe it's because it was my turn and they closed the door?"

"You are so lucky..."

Liu Sheng looked at the backs of the women walking away and said thoughtfully, "It sounds like Priest Song is very popular."

Liu Sheng said in his heart: [It seems to be...]

Soon, a roasted sweet potato was eaten.

"Liu Sheng" smiled and said: "Okay, I'll return the body to you, thank you."

The expression on Liu Sheng's face changed slightly and quickly, from joy to calmness.

"Is this a good method?" Liu Sheng asked.

Li Ming's shadow reappeared and nodded, "It's really good."

Liu Sheng said: "I just remembered that time when we held the same sword, and that's when I got this inspiration."

At this time, her eyes turned to the dim alley opposite the temple. There was a noodle stall with a faint oil lamp on. The rich aroma of pork bone soup wafted into the air, and a few tables and chairs were darkened in the shadow of the oilcloth.

Liu Sheng walked slowly closer and saw the white-haired stall owner, hunched over, kneading dough. The figure looked very familiar.

Although she didn't recognize many people, she finally remembered them after coming so many times.

I didn't expect this noodle stall is still there.

Li Ming noticed the emotion on Liu Sheng's face and asked quietly, "Delicious?"

Liu Sheng nodded, a trace of nostalgia on his face, "Well, I didn't expect it to move here. In another world, this noodle stall is next to the weaving factory. I always went there to eat... a few bowls after work."

"Maybe it's the present world, there are more people in the temple." Li Ming said.

Liu Sheng thought about it and felt that this should be the case.

"No matter how late it is, this stall is always there. Seeing that light makes me feel at ease for some reason."

Returning to the old place, Liu Sheng couldn't help but feel more emotional.

"Does this mean you're often late for work?" Li Ming asked.

Liu Sheng nodded and smiled bitterly: "There is a lot of paperwork to do, so I naturally stay up late. But I didn't expect that later on, I ended up working overtime for myself..."

Li Ming smiled at the new word "overtime" and thought it was appropriate.

"Working overtime for yourself and working overtime for others are always different." Li Ming shook his head and changed the subject. "Forget it, don't think about these bad things. I can feel the dark clouds above them."

Liu Sheng smiled and said quietly to Li Ming: "Let me take you to try it. The stall owner's cooking skills are really good." Li Ming naturally agreed happily.

Liu Sheng then shouted, "Boss, give me a bowl of shredded pork noodles!"

"Okay, sir, please take a seat," the stall owner responded cheerfully.

Liu Sheng deliberately sat near the stove so that it was warm. There were a few people sitting next to him, all eating noodles in silence.

Li Ming's shadow glanced at the greasy tables and chairs, but didn't mind and sat down leisurely.

A man and a figure watched the stall owner knead the dough skillfully and then pull it into strips. His movements were slow and focused, and they couldn't help but be immersed in it for a moment.

After a while, Liu Sheng finally asked, "Boss, why are you still setting up a stall in this weather?"

It is indeed a bit cold at this time. Li County is further north than Chang'an and Qinghe, so the temperature is naturally lower.

Therefore, oilcloths were specially set up around the noodle stall, but the wind still came in from all directions. It is now dinner time, but not many people come, which shows that the weather is indeed affecting business.

The stall owner put the pulled noodles into the pork bone broth and cooked them. He said casually, "I have to go out. I have elderly parents and children to take care of. There are seven people in my family waiting for food. The oldest child has been admitted to the academy. The expenses are very high. This is the only skill I have. I can only go out to the stall every day."

"The boss's child is really doing well! It shows that the boss has done a good job in educating him." The diner next to him continued.

"It's mainly because the kids work hard." Speaking of his own children, the stall owner couldn't help but smile.

"Entering the academy is a big step! If you can pass the imperial examination and enter the temple to become a priest, then you won't have to worry about your next life, boss!"

"Hey, thanks for your good words." The boss said with a smile.

"But if you ask me, it would be better to stay in Chang'an... or the temple in a big city, rather than going back to Li County, where the mountains are high and the temples are far away, and you can't see them from above."

As the diner spoke, he glanced at the temple opposite.

The boss's smile faded. "Are you from outside the country?"

"Yes, I looked along the way, and the Li County Temple still looks a bit dilapidated..."

The boss interrupted him directly: "I am already satisfied to be a priest in Li County, like Priest Song."

Then the conversation naturally stopped and there was silence for a while.

Soon, the noodles were cooked.

Placed hot in front of Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng took a sip, the rich soup hit his nose, and the noodles were oily and tasty.

That's it!

Li Ming was waiting eagerly at the side, so Liu Sheng let Li Ming's shadow fall into his body and picked up the chopsticks together.

Once he started eating, Li Ming couldn't stop. He slurped a few mouthfuls and quickly finished the whole bowl.

After putting down her chopsticks, she still looked at the empty bowl with dissatisfaction.

Liu Sheng took back the control and raised his hand to order another bowl of braised pork intestine noodles.

The stall owner looked at the petite girl in front of him with some suspicion: "Don't waste food."

[It’s a cliché, there are always such enthusiastic and honest stall owners. 】

Liu Sheng smiled and shook his head: "It won't be wasted."

I don’t know when I will come here next time, but of course I will eat my fill.

Moreover, thinking of another world...

Her eyes fell on the stall owner who was cutting braised pork intestines with scissors. His silver hair shone brightly under the oil lamp, and her heart felt even more sour.

Li Ming said softly: "He's dead, isn't he?"

Liu Sheng nodded slightly, his eyes slightly gloomy, remembering the strange incident of Li Shu.

"You were planning to see if the culprit was still there, right?" Li Ming said firmly, "That's why you came here specially."

Liu Sheng nodded slightly: "But I also wonder, now that there is a temple, can such a strange creature survive?"

"You should have searched it using Skynet's network?" Li Ming asked.

"Yes, I sensed it when I first came to Li County. Although I still didn't find any strange energy, when Skynet moved below Zuibai Garden, it obviously encountered an obstacle." Liu Sheng secretly said to Li Ming, "Moreover, that obstacle carries the power of the temple."

"Has that place really been cleared by the temple?" Li Ming asked.

The man and the figure couldn't help but turn their gaze to the temple opposite and found that it was finally closing time and the believers were walking out one after another.

Li Ming whispered, "Let's go and take a look later."

Liu Sheng nodded: "Well, now, let's eat noodles first."

She saw that Li Ming's eyes were fixed on the pig intestine noodles brought by the stall owner, and he was staring at them with great anticipation.

The braised pig intestines looked greasy and springy when picked up with chopsticks. Served with minced garlic, coriander and chili oil, Liu Sheng and Li Ming felt slightly hot after eating them.

Li Ming, in particular, felt the heat rising from his stomach for the first time in a long time and could hardly stop.
