Not long after, all kinds of dishes were served, gradually filling up the two large round tables. There were braised pork trotters, spiced pork ribs, braised pork ears, stir-fried pork intestines, purple clover steamed vermicelli sausage, pepper streaky pork, and more than a dozen other dishes. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, they were full of color, fragrance, and taste. Dai Xuan swallowed his saliva as he watched.
In particular, there was a pot of pepper pork belly soup in the middle of the round table. The soup was snow-white in color and had a strong fragrance. She was conquered by it even before she started drinking it.
After a while, Lao Wan finished his work and brought a few bottles of white wine over. He said, After saying that, he sat down and took out a bottle of Wuliang wine. He opened the cap and poured wine for Wang Aiguo. He then opened another bottle and helped to pour wine. The two 200 grams of wine glasses on the table were all filled. The two men on the table beside him also poured two glasses. In the first round, they opened two bottles of wine.
The women and children at the burping table had already begun to eat. It was not the ancient times now, so there was not so much attention..
Wang Aiguo, the organizer of this dinner, raised his glass and said,""Today is to welcome Dai Xuan over. Coincidentally, we caught another wild boar, so we called everyone from the same hometown over for a drink.”After saying that, he raised his head and drank first. Everyone in the room raised their glasses and drank all the wine in them.
After drinking the first glass of wine, everyone began to eat. Everyone was full of praise for the food. Although the law on the protection of wild animals had not yet been implemented in this era, one had to be able to fight! Old Wan opened two more bottles of wine and poured them for everyone. Dai Xuan was very happy as he ate and drank. He was a person who liked good food and wine, unlike most of his fellow daoists who only cared about Xiushuo. The dishes and wine on this table were a little novel to him, especially the wine. He mostly drank fruit wine, which was not distilled and did not have a high alcohol content. He felt that it was not as exciting as this.
Old Wan poured the wine and sat down. He said to Chen Fukuang,""Leader, are you going to start the second round?”
Deputy Mine Chen was the deputy mine manager of Mine 203. He was the oldest and held the highest position among the villagers. He picked up his wine glass and said," Then I'll say a few words. First, I want to welcome Brother Dai Xuan to Mine 203. Second, I want to thank the patriots for recruiting everyone to drink and eat wild boar meat together. Third, I want to thank Old Wan for his superb culinary skills. He made a table of good dishes for everyone. I won't say anything else. Let's drink."”After saying that, he emptied his glass of wine. Everyone applauded and raised their glasses to drink.
Then, he opened the bottle and poured the wine. As the "landlord", Old Wan started the third round. After three laps, it was time for him to do his own thing.
Dai Xuan was also a person who liked to make friends. Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, he took the time to toast everyone as he ate.
The atmosphere at the table was very lively. Gradually, everyone found that Dai Xuan could drink very well. He had drunk almost two catties of 52-alcohol content Wuliang wine, so everyone drank with him, especially Lao Wan and Chen Fukuang, who were the two officers of the alcohol test. They refused to believe that Dai Xuan would drink until he was drunk. Both of them took turns to toast with Dai Xuan. Dai Xuan was not afraid of anyone. He fought with a cup of wine, showing his forthright nature. Wang Aiguo was stunned.
Unknowingly, they had been eating for more than an hour. The other table with children had already left. They had almost finished their meals and had drunk almost twenty bottles of wine. Those who had drunk less counted and found that Dai Xuan had drunk nearly eight bottles of white wine, which had broken the record of 203 mines. He looked like he could still drink.
Dai Xuan drank quite comfortably. It had been a long time since he had drunk so much that he felt a little dizzy. He should be able to have a good sleep tonight.
After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed. A few who drank too much stayed in the guest house to sleep. Someone would clean up the mess tomorrow morning. Wang Aiguo took 20 catties of wild boar meat home with Dai Xuan. The remaining 100 catties were sold to the guest house, but they had not paid the bill yet.
After Wang Aiguo sent Dai Xuan back to his room, he also went back to sleep. He drank a lot.
After putting on the door, he lay on the bed and prepared to sleep. After all, it was quite tiring to return to his hometown after more than a hundred years. Even an immortal could not withstand it!
The next morning, Wang Aiguo brought Dai Xuan toothpaste, toothbrush, and a towel. Dai Xuan had never used toothpaste or toothbrush before, but he learned to use it when in Rome. Breakfast was porridge and steamed buns. After breakfast, they went to work and school, leaving Dai Xuan alone at home. At noon, they all came back for lunch. After lunch, Wang Aiguo took Dai Xuan to have his hair cut. Dai Xuan didn't object and just kept his hair.
Aiguo Wang brought him around again. He visited the supply and marketing cooperative, the market, the auditorium, the school, and so on. This was a peaceful and peaceful place. Although life was a little hard, everyone's salary was not high. The average salary was less than 100 yuan, and the supplies were relatively poor. However, life was quite comfortable.
Wang Aiguo wanted to give Dai Xuan the money from yesterday's sale of wild boar meat, but Dai Xuan didn't accept it, saying that he had nothing to buy. Wang Aiguo saw that he didn't want to accept it, so he gave up.
After two days, Dai Xuan decided to settle down here. After cultivating for more than 3,000 years, he felt a little tired. He wanted to live the life of a mortal. He knew that there were powerful Exalted Celestials who used mortals to vindicate their Dao. He also wanted to live that kind of life.
He still didn't know much about this world. He only knew that immortals only existed in legends, but he knew a little about mine 203. This was a state-owned lead and silver mine. The place he was in was the residential area of the mining department. There were six mines nearby, and there were also residential areas at the mines. It was where the miners lived. There were many other units in the mining department, such as a machine repair shop, an auto repair shop, a labor service company, and so on. There were about four to five thousand people in total.
Dai Xuan was now quite familiar with Wang Aiguo's family. Wang Aiguo's eldest son was called Wang Xiaobing, who was in the fourth grade. Dai Xuan felt that it was best to start with books if he wanted to understand this era, so he asked Wang Xiaobing to take the books from the first to third grades and read them. Although they were simplified characters, they were all hieroglyphic characters of the same origin as the characters that Dai Xuan had mastered. Dai Xuan quickly mastered them, including the mathematics textbooks with Arabic numbers.
He also asked Aiguo Wang to help him find fourth and fifth grade and junior high school textbooks. It took him a month to master a lot of knowledge. Through the history textbook, he knew that China was now called China. It had been 3,000 years since the Shang Dynasty. He also learned about the historical development of China in the past 3,000 years. Also, through the geography textbook, he learned that there were seven continents and four oceans in this world, and that there were many countries and regions in this world. Through Chinese, he learned about simplified Chinese characters and ancient poetry. He also finished reading junior high school mathematics, physics, chemistry, and other textbooks.
During this time, he also went to some nearby places to take a look. He went to a town called Long River Town three kilometers away. He took advantage of the market day to walk there. In the early 1980s, transportation was basically dependent on walking, especially in mountainous areas. He wanted to go to the Long River Town market to see what business there was. There were more people there, and he remembered the days when he sold spirit beasts in the cultivation market. However, the result disappointed him. There was a seller who sold wild rabbits and pheasants for a long time but did not sell a single one. He reckoned that no one would be willing to buy them to eat. The mountainous areas were still relatively poor.
He also went to the nearby mountains to catch a few wild animals. They were all relatively large. There were wild goats, yellow pheasants, wild deer, pheasants, and so on. He caught more than 20 of them. Therefore, during this period of time, Wang Aiguo had never eaten less meat, making his neighbors envious. He also gave it to the guest house a few times and earned more than 100 yuan.
On this day, Dai Xuan, Chen Fukuang, Old Wan, and Wang Aiguo were drinking at the guest house. They preferred to drink with Dai Xuan because he drank very quickly. He looked young, but he drank well.
As he was drinking, Chen Fukuang said to Dai Xuan,""I have two comrades who want to come into the mountains to hunt on Saturday. Why don't you accompany us into the mountains?”Dai Xuan said,"Sure." He turned around and asked Lao Wan,"Old Wan, what kind of wild game do you usually catch that tastes better?”Old Wan took a sip of wine and said,"Didn't you grab whatever you touched?" Why did he reach the realm where he could catch whatever he wanted now?”Dai Xuan smiled and said,"Just say it. As long as it's on the mountain, I'll catch it for you." Lao Wan thought for a moment and said," I have a dish here. Many people have heard of it, but not many people have eaten it. It's called Dragon Tiger Phoenix Battle in Jianghu. It's best to use mountain cats, king cobras, and male pheasants that weigh more than three pounds. I made it once ten years ago. The ingredients were not very good. I used domestic cats, but they tasted good. Dai Xuan, if you can get these three things, I'll give you my two jars of wine."
Wang Aiguo asked while smoking,""I know about the Dragon, Tiger, and Phoenix. What does a decisive battle in the martial world mean?”Chen Fukuang said,"It's just Dragon Tiger Phoenix Soup." Everyone laughed when they heard that.
Two days later, it was Saturday. Chen Fukuang's comrades arrived early in the morning. Two men in their early forties drove a jeep and wore green military uniforms. The three of them and Dai Xuan set off at about nine o'clock. First, they drove southeast along the riverside of the mining department for about ten kilometers. The road was a narrow dirt road with potholes. It was not easy to walk. Along the way, they passed by a few small villages. Finally, they drove into a small valley and could not go any further. They reached the end of the road.
The four of them got out of the car. One of them was about 1.8 meters tall, called Li Jun, and the other was shorter, called Wang Hanchao. The two of them brought three rifles with them. Dai Xuan was holding a gunny sack with two gunny sacks inside. After taking the things and closing the car door, they followed the small mountain road into the mountain.
The few of them walked along the mountain road up the mountain. The continuous mountains were not too high. They were generally small hills that were more than 200 meters tall, but the vegetation was very lush, covered with all kinds of trees and shrubs.
Dai Xuan led the way. He had already spread out his divine sense and found a few wild goats in the ravine one kilometer away. Dai Xuan brought them up the mountain and walked along the top of the mountain in that direction.
The weather was good today, and the temperature in early summer was not too high. The three of them carried guns on their backs and Dai Xuan held a sack as they chatted while walking. Li Jun said to Dai Xuan in front," Little Dai, I see that you're fine walking on the mountain road. I'm a little out of breath. You young people have better stamina!"”Dai Xuan turned his head and smiled,"I can walk on this mountain road for a few days and nights without any problem." Li Jun said," You're really amazing. At first glance, I saw you as a great young man. You're good material for the army. Why don't I recommend you to join the army?”
"Is it interesting to be a soldier?" Dai Xuan asked.”Li Jun smiled and said," Of course it's interesting. Look at how powerful my gun is."
Chen Fukuang, who was behind him, said,"He still has to transfer his household registration here and get a junior high school diploma."
" You just have to help him settle it, you're a big mine manager," Li Jun said. He was from the city's armed forces department. When he saw a good soldier, he couldn't help but want to pull him into the army.
After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived at the small ravine where Dai Xuan found the wild goat. Dai Xuan pointed at the small ravine at the foot of the mountain and said," There are a few wild goats over there. You guys fight first, I'll go grab something else."
When the three heard that there was stock, they quickly squatted down and looked through the bushes, ignoring Dai Xuan.
Dai Xuan ran to the other side of the mountain. He still remembered Old Wan's two jars of good wine. He had to catch those three kinds of wild animals, which was not difficult for him. His divine sense could spread out to a hundred miles, and it could go as deep as a thousand meters underground. It took him more than half an hour to catch these kinds of wild animals. He ran to a few nearby mountains and heard a few sounds in the middle. He knew that those were the sounds made by the three weapons called " rifles " that the three of them had brought.
Dai Xuan walked back. He found a few stones with green spots by a small stream at the foot of a mountain. He picked them up and looked at them. His divine sense went down nearly a thousand meters and found a copper mine two or three hundred meters below. It looked pretty good. He smiled and picked up the stones and left. He was too familiar with these mineral veins. In the past, he had dug many kinds of mines, but this copper mine was of no use to him. It was good to tell Chen Fu about the mine. He should like this thing.
When Dai Xuan returned to the top of the mountain, the three of them were still in the ravine below. Dai Xuan shouted down and Chen Fukuang's voice came from below," Dai Xuan, come down and help. It's too heavy for us to go up."
. Dai Xuan put down the three sacks and the stone. They went down to the ravine. The slope of the mountain was a little steep, so it was easy to go down but difficult to come up. They had also killed three wild goats that weighed about 30 pounds. Dai Xuan grabbed two in one hand and the other in the other as he ran up the mountain. The steep slope could not stop his strong and agile posture, making the three of them envious.
Dai Xuan ran back to the mountain and dropped his things to wait for them. He took out a cigarette and smoked it. He had also learned to smoke. After smoking a cigarette, he found a three-meter-long wooden stick as thick as an arm. With a thought, he took out two ropes from the Mystic Jade Space. He tied the three wild goats together and tied the three sacks that were used to store wild animals together. He used the wooden stick as a carrying pole and it would be easy to carry them later.
The three of them came up panting. Li Jun looked at the three sacks on the ground and asked,"Young Dai, what did you catch?”Dai Xuan said,"Dragon, Tiger, and Phoenix." Chen Fukuang laughed out loud. When Li Jun asked him what was going on, Chen Fukuang told him about the "Dragon Tiger Phoenix Battle in Jianghu" that Lao Wan had told him two days ago. Li Junchang was very excited when he heard it. This time, he had a good meal.
The four of them sat down to rest. Li Jun took out a cigarette and scattered it around. As the four of them smoked, Dai Xuan handed a green spot stone to Chen Fukuang. He took it and looked at it, saying,"It's pretty good." Dai Xuan rolled his eyes and said,"I'm not bad."" This is a Peacock Stone. There's a copper mine nearby."
"Really? You can get a copper mine from hunting? If there really is, you've done a great job."
Dai Xuan said," It's true. Take the stone back and test it. Get someone to come here and look for it. I'm sure it's there. This is a method of finding ores passed down by my master. It's very reliable."
Fukuang Chen weighed the stone in his hand and said," Alright, I'll get someone to take a look later." The significance of discovering a copper mine was too great. It would be terrible if there really was one.
The four of them sat down and rested for a while before they got up and returned. The prey was picked up by Dai Xuan and brought down the mountain. After sitting on the top of the bus for almost an hour, they returned to the guest house. It was only past twelve o'clock, so Chef Wan said that they were not going to hunt but to pick up prey.
They were sitting in Old Wan's office, drinking tea and resting. Old Wan had gone to call for help. After more than 20 minutes, he came back with Aiguo Wang and Dong Zhao. Dai Xuan had already placed the prey outside the back door of the kitchen. Old Wan started to boil the water. Everyone went to the back door of the kitchen to see what prey they had caught. They saw three dead wild goats lying on the ground, and three sacks with tied mouths.
Dai Xuan took a gunny sack and untied the rope. He poured out something that looked like a cat. However, this cat was too big. It weighed more than 20 pounds. Its fur was covered with spots like copper coins. It looked like a cat and a little like a leopard.
At this moment, Old Wan shouted,"Panther! Good stuff."
Then Dai Xuan untied a sack and poured out three big pheasants with long and beautiful red feathers. The pheasants were not dead yet. Their feet were tied and they were rolling on the ground. Dai Xuan opened the last sack and grabbed a four-meter-long snake. The snake's flat head was like a shovel, and its body was as thick as a child's arm. It had black scales on its back and a pink tongue in its mouth. Its eyes were fierce, and its body was still twisting and struggling. The onlookers ran away as they saw it. It was too terrifying!
Old Wan looked at it and said," It's a king cobra. Young Dai, you did it. You caught all three of them."
Dai Xuan grabbed the snake's seven-inch position and asked,""How do I do this?"
