Chapter 267: A Bowl of Flying Dragon Soup
Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, what the old blind man said was indeed the truth, and it was indeed not easy for him to live until now.
The old blind man's previous sentence was more or less a bit of a sycophant, Wu Zhongyuan didn't want to continue to ask, but in order to test his reaction, he still asked, "Why do you say that I know people with my eyes?"
The old blind man smiled and waved his hand, "Hehe, ashamed, ashamed." ”
Wu Zhongyuan smiled again, "How can you say that you can accommodate people?"
The old blind man didn't answer immediately, and when the man put down the wine jar and turned to leave, he coughed twice and said slowly, "There are herds of cattle and sheep, and fierce beasts walk alone, cattle and sheep are weak, and the weak are herds, and what they ask is to take care of each other." The beast is the strong, and the strong walk alone, only because they dominate one side, without the help of external forces, therefore, only cattle and sheep are close to the same kind, and the beast often rejects the same kind. ”
Wu Zhongyuan smiled and nodded, the old blind man's words were not only patting his ass, but also flaunting himself, he was not disgusted by the old blind man's self-promotion, because the old blind man was telling the truth, a real smart person will always have a clear understanding of himself, cattle and sheep may think that they are tigers, but tigers will never think that they are cattle and sheep.
The old blind man couldn't see it, he didn't know that Wu Zhongyuan was smiling and nodding, and he wasn't sure what his attitude was towards his words, so he couldn't help but be a little apprehensive.
Seeing this, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly spoke, "It makes sense. ”
The old blind man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Zhongyuan grabbed the wine jar, patted open the mud seal, and poured the wine, "How long have you been living in Goat Valley?"
"It's been almost ten years. The old blind man knew that Wu Zhongyuan was pouring him wine, and hurriedly thanked him, at this time the gesture was not the same as that of later generations, but the posture was roughly the same.
"Have you been to any other place before?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
The old blind man nodded slowly, "There are travels everywhere. ”
Wu Zhongyuan put down the wine jar and pushed the wine bowl in front of the old blind man, "Who are you?"
The old blind man was touching the wine bowl, and when he heard Wu Zhongyuan's words, the movements in his hands immediately stopped, he was already blind, and his eyes could not convey emotions, but his expression was okay, his expression was nervous and confused.
"If you don't have a mount, it's not easy to get around. Wu Zhongyuan said, this time is not modern, there are planes and trains, you can run around the world, the most important thing is that the environment is bad at this time, if you don't have any real skills, running around is equivalent to death.
The old blind man nodded, "It's a long story, I'll have to get out of here and talk about it in detail." ”
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, and after nodding, he remembered that the old blind man couldn't see his movements, so he added, "Hmm." ”
If the old blind man doesn't say it, then even if the old blind man has great ability, he won't use him, and if he doesn't put his heart into his heart, how can they work together? And the old blind man seems to know this, and he didn't refuse, but said that he left here and said that the old blind man responded like this, and also showed his attitude, saying that he would definitely say it, but it had to be after he made a formal decision to hire.
"Please. Wu Zhongyuan picked up the wine bowl.
"Ashamed, ashamed. The old blind man took the bowl, took a sip, and then drank it dry, not hiding his love for wine.
At this time, the wine shop is not like a modern restaurant, there are many dishes to choose from, it is a first-class wine shop, the dishes are not rich, the first is two cold dishes, cold salad and lettuce fungus, the gourd is a plant similar to a gourd, but not the shape of a gourd, some like a winter melon but not as big as a winter melon, and the mushroom is a bean.
This is followed by two hot dishes, scrambled eggs with leeks and steamed leg of lamb, which are not quite the same as the modern scrambled eggs with leeks, which are chopped and mixed with the crushed eggs. The steamed leg of lamb is the hind leg of the sheep, and there are two cutting knives on the whole body, and the dipping sauce is wild garlic and sand ginger.
The soup is a flying dragon wild mushroom soup, and the flying dragon is the hazel chicken of later generations, not a real dragon.
Although the four dishes and one soup are a little shabby, but at this time it is already a very luxurious, and the biggest feeling after he came back is that modern people do not know blessings in happiness, not only are they safe and secure, but they can also eat whatever they want.
The old blind man couldn't see and couldn't pick up the vegetables by himself, so Wu Zhongyuan helped him pick up the vegetables and serve the soup, which was of course a reflection of his courtesy corporal, but there was another intention. A truly knowledgeable person must have eaten it all*, even if it is declining, he will have his own unique judgment on food.
For every dish, Wu Zhongyuan would ask the same question, "How is this dish, but is it still the right appetite?"
"Very good, very good, but the gourd has been put for a long time, and it is not very crispy. ”
"This fungus is taken from the northern oak tree, and it is very rare to have it here, but it has entered the stomach of my disgusting person and wronged it. ”
"I haven't eaten sand chicken eggs in years. ”
"Steamed to nine medium rare, just right, just right. ”
The last soup was also served by Wu Zhongyuan for him, in addition to the soup mushrooms, there was also a chicken leg in it.
The old blind man took the soup bowl, and did not immediately eat it, but used chopsticks to fish, and when he sensed that the soup was filled with chicken legs, he shook his head again and again, "I can't eat it, I can't eat it, I changed it, I changed it." ”
Wu Zhongyuan didn't know why, and asked the reason, but the old blind man just didn't eat the chicken leg and asked him to change it.
So Wu Zhongyuan changed the chicken wings to him again.
The old blind man discerned things and shook his head again, "The flying dragon is gifted with humerus, and it has all its wings, and it can't be eaten, it can't be eaten, and it is not abandoned, and it is good to be given a mouthful of seasoned wild mushrooms." ”
Wu Zhongyuan smiled, originally smiling, thinking that the old blind man could not see, he laughed out loud, the old blind man's move has a deep meaning, but to take the opportunity to show him his attitude and positioning to himself, in the old blind man's opinion, he has his own humerus auxiliary, and originally had flying wings, his position and role is not the legs, feet and wings of the flying dragon, but the ingredients of the flying dragon.
After laughing, Wu Zhongyuan put the soup bowl with chicken wings in front of the old blind man, "But it's disrespectful." ”
When the old blind man heard this, his face was pleased, but the disrespect was usually said by the superior to the subordinate, with a certain sense of order, which also indirectly revealed Wu Zhongyuan's attitude, and the matter was basically settled.
But the old blind man still didn't drink the bowl of soup, and after thanking him, he carefully pushed it aside, "I'll drink it later." ”
Wu Zhongyuan poured another glass of wine for the old blind man, and after drinking, the old blind man returned the table, "If you have any questions, please ask." ”
"What should I do now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"What do you want?" said the old blind man, in a deep voice.
And. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Yamato?" asked the old blind man.
"Yamato. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"If you want to be peaceful, you must go through a great war, and if you want to go through a great war, you must first gain a foothold. The old blind man replied very simply.
"I already have a foothold," Wu Zhongyuan said, "Jiulian, Jiumu, Daze, Gushan, Hongshan, and Lishan are six walled cities. ”
"I've heard about this," the old blind man nodded, "but your footing is not stable, so you shouldn't act rashly, and it is imperative to consolidate the foundation." ”
"I want to hear about it. Wu Zhongyuan said.
The old blind man didn't answer immediately, and after a long time of silence, he shook his head and said, "Although you have six cities, you belong to three tribes, and people's hearts are unstable, and the wind and grass are turbulent, so it is not appropriate to recruit talents at such a juncture." If you want to build a solid foundation, you can only be cautious. The intention is strong, and the sword can only go sideways. ”
After the old blind man spoke, Wu Zhongyuan brought the bowl of flying dragon soup to him, "Please use it." ”
How could the old blind man not understand the intention of Wu Zhongyuan's move, groped for it, and took it with a little trepidation in his joy, "Thank you, thank you." ”
After the old blind man took a sip and put down the soup bowl, Wu Zhongyuan asked again, "What is your surname?"
"I don't hide it, I have the same surname as the king. The old blind man said.
Wu Zhongyuan frowned when he heard this, at this time, the surname represents the ethnic group, and the king in the old blind man's mouth refers to him, it turns out that the old blind man was also a member of the bear clan before.
At this moment, the second child walked in from outside the door, and he was not sure if the second child heard their conversation, so Wu Zhongyuan deliberately disturbed the audio-visual, "Since the surname is Wang, I will be called Brother Wang in the future." ”
The old blind man didn't know why, he was stunned at first, and when the second child approached, he noticed it, and then he reacted, "It's over, it's overstepping, it's good to be a person who is about to rot wood." ”
"Big brother, I'm back. The second child was smiling, and his clothes were changed, he was a dwarf, he didn't have the right clothes, and he didn't know where to get the little red jacket that the children wore.
"Lao Wang really didn't misunderstand you, I said that you would take the opportunity to slip away, but he said that you are a person of integrity, and you will not do that untrustworthy act. "Wu Zhongyuan kills two birds with one stone, it is really rare that the second child did not run, although it did not run, but it must have gone through an ideological struggle, which must be recognized and praised. In addition, in the future, the second child and the old blind man will follow him, and the team must be harmonious.
"Big brother saved my life, I haven't repaid you yet, how can you run. The second child smiled, and then raised his hand at the old blind man, "Hello, brother." ”
The old blind man smiled back.
Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the east seat at the second child, and the second child walked over and climbed into the chair.
Wu Zhongyuan picked up the wine jar and wanted to pour the wine, but the second child rushed to pour it, worried that it would not be able to hold it, so Wu Zhongyuan did not let go, and when the two were competing for the wine jar, a woman's laughter came from outside the door.
Wu Zhongyuan turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a bewitching woman standing at the door with heavy makeup and revealing clothes, probably because of the second child's strange posture and strange clothing, at this time the bewitching woman was watching the second child eating and laughing.
As soon as Wu Zhongyuan turned around, the woman saw his appearance clearly, and an evil look flashed in her eyes, and after a sideways look, she turned her waist and walked in loosely.
"Ouch, where did the handsome little brother come from, his eyes are very raw. "The bewitching woman speaks debauched.
The old blind man reminded in a low voice, "It's the prostitute on the street in the west, the name kills a thousand knives, and the eyeliner of Qixing Mountain." ”
This bewitching woman is in her early thirties, her appearance is passable, her makeup is very thick, at this time there is no proper rouge gouache, and she doesn't know what to wear, her face is white and scary, her mouth is red, she is wearing a set of gauze clothes, and she can clearly see the belly pocket and pants inside.
The bewitching woman twisted forward and tilted her head to look at the second child with interest.
But people with physical defects hate others staring at them the most, and the second child is afraid of Wu Zhongyuan, but he is not afraid of this prostitute, "You stinky, what do you look at." ”
The bewitching woman was scolded, but she was not angry, and said with a smile, "Little man, the anger is quite big." ”
After speaking, he looked at the old blind man again, "Who should I be, it turns out that I am a jack of all trades." ”
Without waiting for the old blind man to answer, the bewitching woman looked at Wu Zhongyuan again, "Little brother, this know-it-all has no real skills, it all relies on that three-inch tongue to cheat some food, what news do you want to hear, you can find me, my sister's tongue is much more clever than him." ”
Wu Zhongyuan frowned and looked at the bewitching woman, this guy must be a night killer in modern times, she definitely can't cut off the magic weapon, and this kind of goods can only cut some broken copper and iron
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan looking at her, the bewitching woman smiled even more presumptuously, pressed the back of the west seat with her arms, bent down and lowered her head, deliberately exposing her breasts, "Little brother, where are you coming from." ”
Wu Zhongyuan looked at her with disgust, and the second child was also looking at her, although it was a male, it didn't like women. The old blind man was also frowning, if he wasn't blind, he probably would have looked at her.
"Little brother, say something. "The bewitching woman snorted.
Wu Zhongyuan had goosebumps, but he was originally frowning, but when he saw the person who came in at the door, a smile appeared on his face.
"Little brother~" The bewitching woman didn't know why, she just thought she was endlessly charming, but before she was finished, Jiang Nan grabbed her neck and threw it out, fell to the street with a bang, and fell to the ground.
Jiang Nan pulled out a chair and sat down, "When will you arrive......?"
