"Taoist, are you celebrating the New Year today?"

Until he returned home, the calico cat still didn't react. He jumped on the table, raised his head and stared at the Taoist in confusion.

"no."

"Then why don't people sleep at night?"

"You still have to sleep, at least most people still have to sleep." The Taoist replied patiently, "It's just that I got home late."

"Why are you running into the road?"

"There are people walking on the road in Yidu at night."

"That's Yidu."

"It turns out that Empress Sanhua can tell the difference between Qingyidu and Changjing." Song You looked pleased.

"Miss Sanhua is very smart."

"There is no need to reiterate what everyone knows."

"Everyone knows something~"

"yes."

"Then if these people go out tonight, won't they be caught by the Imperial Guards walking on the road?"

The calico cat continued to ask.

"In the past, people were not allowed to go out at night because Changjing City was haunted by demons. Now that the demons have been caught, they can naturally go out without being caught." Song You also answered seriously, and then asked, "Empress Sanhua

Do you think it’s more fun when people can go out at night, or is it more fun when people can’t go out and only cats can go out?”

"This is fun."

"This is so fun..."

“The fish at night was delicious!”

“Which one tastes better, or raw fish?”

"They are all delicious." The Sanhua Cat paused, then stared at the Taoist and asked, "Does the Sanhua Empress look more like a human being when she eats roasted and cooked meat?"

"yes."

The Taoist paused for a moment, then smiled and replied: "But Sanhua Empress only needs to be like herself."

"right……"

The Taoist went upstairs, and the calico cat followed him upstairs.

The Taoist sat on the couch in front of the window and looked out the window. The calico cat also jumped on the couch, then jumped on the coffee table and sat down, sometimes staring outside and sometimes staring at the Taoist.

Even though the room is dark, sitting in front of the window, you can still see the Changjing City outside which is different from the one some time ago.

The lights are much brighter tonight.

If I turned into a swallow and flew into the sky at this moment, I would see lights everywhere in Changjing City.

The Taoist smiled a little.

Nightlife and night markets are both a way of life and an attitude towards life.

The development of this era is naturally far less than that of later generations, and the wealth of materials and people's knowledge are far less than that of later generations. Just like the lights in the city at night, even if every household has a pair of lanterns, the combined light is far less powerful than that of later generations.

No matter how eye-catching the street lamps or light boxes of shops on the street are in later generations, they are far inferior to the neon signs of later generations, but people's attitudes towards life and living are quite different.

…

There was a bang.

Song You opened the lid of the jar, put the chopsticks boiled in boiling water in, and carefully picked out some cauliflower.

The green part of the rapeseed flower is no longer green, and the golden color is no longer bright, and has become soft. In addition, there is not much change. It was almost dark when I ate it in Nanhua County, and Song You couldn't see it for a while.

What's the difference between taking it out and the original one? I just take it out and drain it first.

Take a little and put it in your mouth.

"Um……"

But I didn't feel any pain.

The minimum requirement is met.

The salt taste is also suitable.

After all, I have lived in Yin Yang Mountain for twenty years, and I have to take care of an old lady who is close to being unable to take care of herself. I basically make a lot of kimchi every year, and I can still control the salt taste.

Although when I tasted it for the first time, I still felt it was not as refreshing as the one I had in Nanhua County, but it can still be called good.

"good……"

Turning his head, he glanced and saw the cat looking at it seriously, so he took some of it, twisted it in his hand, and gave it to her to taste.

The calico cat no longer chooses and eats whatever is given.

He squirted twice and then swallowed it.

"Is it tasty?"

Song You asked her with a smile.

"have no idea……"

The calico cat answered honestly, then looked up at him, then looked down at the pickle jar, his eyes full of curiosity: "If you put something in this jar, will it taste like this?"

"Not even close."

"Wouldn't it be bad?"

"Not even close."

"Can I bathe mice?"

"..."

It seems that the cat also wants to work hard to live a good life.

"I'm afraid not."

The cat tilted its head, showing doubt.

Just when she was about to ask why, there was a knock on the door outside, so she and the Taoist both turned to look.

"..."

There was a carriage parked outside the door.

What came out of the carriage was a woman dressed in luxurious clothes. She was standing at the door, with both the driver and the maid beside her. When Song You walked up to greet her, she immediately returned the greeting.

"Please come in!"

"Thank you sir." The woman didn't dare to complain, "I heard that sir has the ability to exorcise evil spirits and subjugate them?"

"I have practiced Taoism since I was a child and am good at conquering demons."

Song You casually glanced at the attire of the lady and the maid, and asked: "Madam, I think she comes from a wealthy family in Dongcheng. How did she find her way here?"

"Some time ago, the flowers and plants in my house needed to be taken care of. I found a craftsman who specializes in taking care of flowers and plants to help. I heard that the craftsman said that he had encountered a demon at night and was possessed by evil spirits. As a result, a gentleman who had just arrived in Changjing

He was cured by just blowing on him, just like a god." The woman said, bowed again, and looked at the things in the room, "I am here to look for a god."

"I don't dare to be an immortal."

"Even if you are not an immortal, you must be an expert. If you can help me relieve my worries, I will definitely thank you very much."

"Please sit down and talk."

"You're welcome..."

There are tables and chairs in the room, and the Taoist priest and the woman sit opposite each other, making it look like one of those fortune-telling masters' shops in the East City.

The coachman was waiting outside, and the maid stood beside him.

"I wonder what worries Madam?"

"Sir, since you have just arrived in Changjing for the first time, do you know that there is a qin tavern in Changjing called Hexian Tower, and the owner of Hexian Tower is also a luthier named Miss Wanjiang?"

"I heard something."

"Sir, have you been to the Hexian Tower?"

"To be honest, madam, I heard that Miss Wanjiang is a master of piano arts and is regarded as one of the top ten talents in Changjing. I have always wanted to see her, but due to various reasons, I was unable to do so."

"Sir, do you still know something about Miss Jiang that night?"

"I don't know much about it," Song You answered truthfully, "I only heard it from the storyteller in the teahouse."

"I wonder what the storyteller in the teahouse said?"

"The storyteller in the teahouse..."

Teahouse storytellers often exaggerate.
