Two small knives, a new knife and an old one. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The new knives are brand new and beautifully decorated, making people love it.
The old knives are as tattered as scrap metal, and it is not a pity to discard them.
However, a question that seems so commonplace must be strange in it!
So, which knife should you choose?
Yelu Yixin picked up the knife and looked at it for a while before putting it down, and then picked up the knife and looked at it for a while before putting it down, with a hesitant expression on his face.
From time to time, he would look back and glance at the master standing not far behind him, hoping to find some clues to the answer from the subtle changes in the master's expression.
In fact, there is a person who is even more nervous, and even nervous that his palms are sweaty, but he can't or doesn't show it, even a little, not the slightest.
Li Shantong!
Because this is an exam, a final exam, and a final answer after years of experience.
To him, and even more to him!
It will be interesting to see what the result will be!
"If you don't try it, how will you know!"
Yelu Yixin said very easily, and even held both small knives in his hands, stood up, and walked towards the corpse of the old snake.
It seems that all this was originally a particularly boring and ordinary housework.
"If you were only asked to choose one, which one do you think would have a better chance of winning?"
Suddenly, Li Shantong asked quietly.
"Master, of course it's this, what do you say?"
He didn't look back, but just raised one hand and waved it, holding a small knife in his hand.
For a long time, there was silence.
Actually, this is already the best answer, the exam is over, and the paper is handed in.
For a long time, standing.
Li Shantong stood for a long time, not moving, letting the circles under his eyes slowly turn red and moist, feeling so good.
He knows that all the efforts of so many years have not been in vain, and all the investment has paid off, and the return is very rich, and the return will be even more generous in the future.
He wanted to rush over and hug this apprentice in front of him, this only apprentice, tightly, gratefully, warmly.
"But it can't!"
Li Shantong sighed long in his heart, and inexplicably felt a little sad.
The master is old, and the apprentice is older.
"Alas, I can't hold it if I want to, so forget it."
Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly.
Yes, the hairy boy when he entered the cave is gone, there is only a handsome young man in front of him, years, you are not just a bloodless pig-killing knife!
"Master, come here, I've already cut the belly of this snake, what should I do next!"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Yelu Yixin's call interrupted Li Shantong's thousands of thoughts, and he hurriedly wiped a handful of old tears from his eyes with his hand, calmed his mood, and walked over.
"Here we go!"
"Master, look, I've already cut a small hole in it, what should I do next?"
Sure enough, the young man was holding the broken knife that was only half cut in his hand, and his face was at a loss.
"Come, I'll tell you how to get it."
Li Shantong said, like a skilled surgical expert giving a surgical practice class to a trainee doctor, pointing and gesturing on the corpse of the old snake, and occasionally having to do it himself.
The whole body of the serpent is full of treasures:
Snake meat roast dishes taste good;
Snakeskins can be used to make shoes and hats;
Snake gallbladder is a good medicine;
Snake wine has a high tonic effect;
……
It's a pity that due to limited conditions, many good things can only be discarded, and they can only choose a few of the most precious things to use, which is cheaper for those large and small rats in the hole.
Under the guidance of the master, Yelu Yixin first used the broken knife to carefully cut off the softest piece of snake skin on the belly of the old snake, rolled it up like satin, and set it aside.
"Master, why did you choose this piece of the softest? How good is the hardest piece on the snake's head! ”
"You don't understand this, you see that snake crawls around on the ground every day, but its belly is not damaged in the slightest, this is the so-called 'soft to overcome rigid', hard is not necessarily the strongest, understand?"
"Oh, Master, I see!"
"Master asks you, why did you choose this broken knife?"
"When I first started, I wanted to choose the new knife, but when I thought about it, you still have it and bandaged it very carefully, so I decided that it must be a treasure."
"Hahaha, teachable, teachable."
Old and happy.
The master and apprentice were talking and laughing, while cutting off the fattest parts of the meat on the old snake, planning to make jerky, and there was still a long way to go.
"Ah, wait, let's do the next work for the teacher!"
Suddenly, Li Shantong stopped Yelu Yixin, who was working very hard, and picked up the brand-new knife casually and probed into the depths of the snake's belly.
After tinkering for a long time, a shiny bead was taken out, crystal clear, the size of a fist.
Snake beads!
"Alas, it's a pity, this snake hasn't cultivated to the fire, it would be nice if this bead came with colorful light, but even then it was a priceless treasure."
Li Shantong said, put the snake bead in the palm of his hand, looked at it for a long time, then shook his head again, sighed, and handed it to Yelu Yixin's hand.
"Aha, this is the legendary snake bead, as long as it's valuable, as long as it's valuable."
Yelu Yixin took the snake beads, and sighed that if the snake was really cultivated as the master said, then it would be a stop, the master and apprentice would have died a long time ago, but they didn't expect that there would be a blessing if they didn't die, and they got this valuable good baby.
It's okay to steal the fun!
"Open your mouth!"
Master's soft drink pulled Yelu Yixin back from all kinds of reverie, and opened his mouth in confusion.
A bitterness.
He licked his lips, but the bitterness was getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by bursts of fishy smell.
"Ah, Master, what is this?"
Finally, the smell came out of the smack, and he screamed.
"Don't spit out, swallow!"
I had to grit my teeth and swallow it, grinning with my teeth, frowning, and obedient.
"Master, this thing is too bitter!"
"Hahaha, snake gall, this is a good thing."
Hearing what the master said, Yelu Yixin quieted down, and suddenly had a regret that Zhu Bajie swallowed the ginseng fruit raw.
When I turned my head, I saw that the master was sipping it with taste, and I was embarrassed to say anything more.
"What else are you looking at, I'm not eating, pack up, let's go out."
Li Shantong said with a smile.
