Chapter 19: The Dog Barking

The cold wind mixed with fine snowflakes, like a sharp knife cutting through every bit of people's exposed skin, only the residents of the Northland all year round can experience this "skin pain". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When merchants from the north and south meet, they often discuss where the winter is colder, and there is a saying in the south that it is dry and cold, wet and cold. In winter, if the sun is shining, if it rains, the cold enters the bone marrow, and there is no heating in the place where you live, and the bed and bedding are no longer a place to sleep and forget, but a place to refresh your mind. Fight against the cold, only shake and shake.

There are always many similarities in people's perceptions, just like women are always good for others. Therefore, you can nest at home, and the winter in the north is of course better than in the south, and the merchants and travelers who have lived in the north think that the cold in the north is nothing more than a matter of increasing or decreasing clothes.

Wang Sixi looked at the water from the barrel and there was a layer of thin ice on the surface, and scolded in his heart and kicked the barrel a few times, the cheap goods are not kicked, otherwise they will freeze into a white lump in a while, rolling his eyes and looking at you helplessly. The weather on this dog day is so cold that your hands and feet are cracked, and everything is freezing to death. Only residents like Wang Sixi, who live in the north, know what the cold of the north is, and that kind of cold has long been beyond ordinary people's perception of cold. That's pain, the cold wind is like a knife, it's not just a metaphor, if you go out to walk in such weather, even a strong man with a seven-foot height will be frozen and cry. As for whether it is good or bad, in fact, it is the same everywhere, the rich and noble families are livable everywhere, and the poor people are sad. When the scorching heat and cold of Zhumen singing and dancing have been interrupted, when can the poor people's labor stop at any moment.

The old soup in the pot is boiling, and the cut marinade has already been cooked well, and the aroma is overflowing, and it is directly "sticked" to the body of passers-by by the cold wind, and it can't be waved away. The surface of the freshly baked pancakes is slightly charred, with the characteristic burnt taste of flour.

It's still early, and Wang Sixi has only one customer, who is not very old, and he is just a teenager. Of course, as long as it is a customer, regardless of old and young men and women, Wang Sixi will serve with all his heart.

The coarse porcelain master has been boiling in boiling water for a long time, although Wang Sixi is poor, he can eat all kinds of food, but the utensils are extremely clean, doing business, attitude, hygiene is equally important, especially his kind of boiled snacks, all kinds of ingredients can be seen and eaten only when they are at ease, wishful.

Tianyue got off the ship at the port of the Snow Forest Department and rented a house nearby, and the inn was crowded with people, so it was inevitable that it would be inconvenient to act. He still gets up early every day to practice, and this kind of weather has little impact on him, but when he got up early to wander around, he found this Wang Sixi boiled baked cake stall not far from his residence. Although it is a simple wooden frame and cotton cloth to build a house, but there are a few pots of charcoal fire in it, and all kinds of utensils are also very clean, and the master's craftsmanship is really good, and breakfast has been eaten here for the past few days.

There are two dishes of pickles that the host's family began to pickle in autumn, a plate of verdant and pleasant cucumbers, a plate of sour and spicy and delicious long beans, and I ate it until I sweated on my forehead, and looked at the coarse porcelain bowl that was already empty on the table, and secretly counted it, there were more than 20 of them. I couldn't help but blush a little, since this true seed could extract essence from food to strengthen flesh and blood, anyone who saw the increase in their appetite would be surprised.

Fortunately, Wang Sixi has been used to it in the past few days, and when Tianyue came for the first time, he couldn't believe that this young man could eat so much alone, and finally resolutely refused to sell it to Tianyue. Rao is watching it for a few days, Wang Sixi still can't figure out how to put so many good things into his stomach, it doesn't matter if he can't figure it out, every merchant likes such a customer.

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, the cold wind wrapped in fine snow particles rushed to the face, but then the cold on the faces of the two strong men who came in was even worse than the wind and snow, and they kicked over the table in front of Tianyue when they raised their feet, "Fuck old Wang Ba, why don't you send the money that should be paid, tonight my hall master will hold a birthday banquet, and you don't take the initiative to send the money to your uncle!" Wang Sixi interjected, and raised his hand to have four mouths.

Tianyue looked at the uneaten baked cakes on the ground, and before he could eat enough, he was rudely interrupted by these two people, although he was angry, he did not speak. Wang Sixi didn't dare to be a little angry, just laughed with him, "The two masters of Heifeng Hall, this month's regular money has just been paid, I really can't take out the extra money here, the hall master and his old man have a long birthday, which is gratifying, but the little old man is powerless." ”

"Get out of your mother, cry poor with your grandfather, it's useless, if you don't take the money, you will use your daughter to pay the debt, I heard that your wife's fine skin and tender flesh grow well, today let our brothers let her be a real woman, well... If the uncle is happy, he will exempt you from interest."

Wang Sixi knew very well that the masters of Heifeng Hall spoke like farts, and there was no credibility. It is common to talk and not be trustworthy. It can be said that it is a matter of doing evil and harming one party, and it is a certainty. When the vicious dogs near and far saw these people, they would bark a few times and tell their companions to come and worship.

Wang Sixi's face was flushed, his whole body trembled, and shame and anger were intertwined. I had the heart to carry a knife and fight hard with the two, but when I thought of my wife and children, my heart became cold again.

"Lao Wang, since you owe someone money, you should give it immediately, it is natural to repay the debt. What do you think? Do you sell the secret recipe of lo-mei, that is, my lord likes this mouthful, the road is long, and he looks forward to being able to eat it often before asking you to buy the secret recipe, if you really refuse to sell it, I will not have to spend more time with you. ”

Wang Sixi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart When did you ask me to buy the secret recipe, but I immediately understood what Tianyue meant, this young man help me! hurriedly responded, "Sell, sell, it's all about this season, and what are you doing with it." After saying that, two lines of tears flowed down.

Tianyue thought for a moment, took out five gold coins from his bag, handed them to Wang Sixi, and said in a low voice, "Are these enough?" ”

Five gold coins is enough for ordinary people to eat and wear for a year, Wang Sixi said, "It's enough, little master, this is too much, it's not worth so much." ”

"The old immortal deserves to be poor, and you have too much money to sell things." The two must only have money in their eyes, and when the golden light flashed, they already knew it, and snatched the gold coin from Wang Sixi's hand.

"Two pieces are left for my hall master to celebrate his birthday, and the other is counted as interest, your grandmother's, Lao Tzu is collecting debts in the cold weather, should you come for nothing?!"

"That's it," Tianyue echoed beside him, "My master's family has a great cause, and there are hundreds of guards under him, and there are more than 20 people on the eighth order, and it is impossible for anyone to go out to do things in vain." ”

The two glanced at each other, they didn't know whether what Tianyue said was true or not, and seeing that he was dressed and behaved very humanly, presumably this was a rich child, and he didn't know the depths, so he had to temporarily extinguish other thoughts. The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and there is extra money and money for recreation, secretly want to go back and inquire carefully and wait for the hall master to make a decision after his birthday, the two of them often do evil together, but they also have the same mind, and they don't say much at the moment, scolding and kicking the door away.
