Chapter 229: Pie? Pitfall?
In the manor of the Chu family. There is a pond with rippling blue waves, and the depth of the pond is more than ten meters, and even the shallow place is about two meters. The water is crystal clear, and you can see a grass carp swimming in the water. There is also a small island in the middle of the pond, which is made entirely of mud from when the pond was dug in the first place.
At the top of the island is a verdant bamboo forest, with swaying bamboo shadows and swaying. And underneath it, there are majestic plum trees. Plum trees are planted around the island, accounting for about half of the island.
At this time, the winter wind is steep, and it is the time when the plum blossoms are in full bloom. In a large area of white, a few Aoxue red plums quietly bloomed, and the red was like a cluster of flames, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.
On the opposite side of the plum blossoms, the remaining half of the island is the peach tree, the peach leaves have long since fallen, only the cold branches remain, not only is the plum blossom not a little inferior, but makes people feel a kind of power from it!
If the plum blossoms in full bloom are a kind of rebellion against the cold and the majesty of life, then the peach trees that have lost their branches and leaves in order to be reborn on the peninsula are a kind of wisdom of life, a silent roar!
Bamboo shadows, water waves, plum blossoms, peach branches, and so blend with each other.
And the old man of the Chu family was sitting on the horse at this time, with a cigarette pouch in his mouth and a fishing rod in his hand, fishing silently.
Han Yu sat next to the old man, his eyes slightly drooping, and he didn't speak.
As a member of the former army, even if he is only a peripheral member, his determination is far more tenacious than ordinary people!
Once, in order to kill a drug lord, he lurked on the other party's path for thirteen days, and for thirteen days, he lay there motionless, relying on the dew and the ants passing by, and the marrow in the bones of two animals that died I don't know when.
After he shot and killed the drug lord, he still had extra energy to run away from the others!
This mission was found to have failed on the seventh day, and his companions were evacuated at that time!
In terms of physical strength and patience, Han Yu has never been afraid of anyone! Of course, this is also thanks to the nameless mind method he cultivated.
When he adjusts his breathing by the mental method, even his heartbeat and pulse will slow down, so naturally it will consume much less than his companions. For this reason, everyone once jokingly called him a cold-blooded animal.
Han Yu silently felt the comfortable atmosphere around him, looking at the prosperity and decline of the island in the distance, for him, this was an extremely rare peace.
The cold wind stirred the water, soft and cold, and swept across the tip of his nose, lips, and eyes! The soft coolness shocked people's spirits, and also made the fishing line in the water move slightly, and then swirled and sank violently......
The old man Chu was still holding a big cigarette pouch in his mouth, but his hand quickly fished it out, and he quickly pulled the fishing rod up, and on the hook, a blue and white with more than three catties of weight twisted his body sharply, and the water droplets shone in the sun.
"Hahaha, it looks like your kid is lucky, it's quite a harvest here in the morning, well, it's already the fourth!" Old Man Chu glanced at the fish basket at his feet with a smile, and the cigarette pouch in his mouth spewed out a faint smoke.
"Wait a minute, bring this fish back!" Old Man Chu waved his hand and said with a smile.
Han Yu also smiled, he looked at the fishing rod in the old man's hand and said, "The fish will be eaten sooner or later, why don't you give me the fishing rod too?" That way, if I want to eat it, I can catch it myself! ”
Old Man Chu was slightly stunned, glanced at him lightly and said, "You kid is still the first person to say your desires so unabashedly in front of me, I don't know if I have to say that you are sincere, or that you are greedy?" ”
Han Yu said quietly: "I just said human nature!" ”
Old Man Chu smiled: "It's normal for a good person, that's right, greed, ambition, ideals, in fact, to put it bluntly, they are all the same thing, only if you are not satisfied, you will continue to forge ahead!" But sometimes people have to learn to control, there is actually only a thin line between ideals and ambition, greed! If you don't control your heart, it will become a wild horse! ”
"It's like this fishing rod, if you take it now, will you be able to eat the fish? I don't think so! The fish took the bait because of the rod, but more importantly, it was because of me! ”
Old Man Chu pointed to his nose and said, "Fishing, it's not just a fishing rod, but also a bait, will you do it?" The place where the rod is lowered is different, and the fish you may catch will be different, will you choose? The fish bites the hook and sinks, the fish escapes from the hook early when the rod is lifted, and the fish grabs the food and goes away when the rod is late, will you grasp this opportunity? ”
Han Yu's old face turned red and he was silent. To be honest, he really doesn't know how to fish, but he is just unwilling to be given a basket of fish for nothing!
"Just because you have a fishing rod doesn't mean you have a fish! But as far as just eating fish is concerned, it doesn't make a difference whether you catch it yourself or someone else gives it. Fishing is luck, and so is the fish given by others. And luck, in my opinion, is the biggest reliance of anglers! ”
Luck is the biggest thing an angler relies on?!
Han Yu's body trembled, the pupils in his eyes shrank fiercely, he slowly stood up, bowed respectfully to Old Man Chu, and bowed ninety degrees: "Thank you for your teachings, the black clothes have been taught!" ”
Old Man Chu kicked the fish basket: "This is given to you, do you still refuse?" ”
"The elder gives it, but you can't give it!" Han Yu stretched out his hand and lifted the fish basket up.
Old Man Chu laughed, and Chu Jiu floated over from the lake with a small boat from the side.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the island to have a look, and let Ah Jiu make a fish to stew in the lake!" I'll tell you, right here in the lake, there's a living spring underneath, and that's a good thing that money can't buy......"
Plum blossoms are embellished, and the bamboo forest is in the sky. The north wind is howling, and the water is reflecting the sky!
A few stones were piled up, and as soon as an iron pot was placed, the live fish in the water were removed from the scales and fishy, and when they were put into the pot, they added water, and picked up the dead branches on the ground on the spot and lit them down and burned them, and a stream of green smoke floated up slowly!
After a while, the fragrance of fish wafted in the air, and Chu Jiu put a few pink plum petals into it, added green onions, ginger, garlic and other condiments, poured a few drops of aged vinegar, and put a few coriander prepared in the boat to decorate, and a pot of fragrant fish soup was announced!
Rao is Han Yu had already eaten when he came, and at this time, he couldn't help but have a great appetite and was eager to try!
The fish soup is milky white, and because the small fire below has not been extinguished, there will be a grunt from time to time! Han Yu sat on Mazha, who had been brought from across the river, and Chu Jiu had taken a bottle of wine.
"What I treasured, decades of stuff, now you kid has taken it orally!" Old Man Chu asked Chu Jiu to pour Han Yu first, where can Han Yu let him? Hurriedly grabbed it, poured it for both of them, and then poured himself a glass.
With his hands leveled, Han Yu took a breath and said, "For this first cup of wine, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha to the old man Chu and the ninth uncle!" I'll do it first, you feel free! ”
Han Yu raised his glass as he said and poured all the wine into his mouth.
The spicy sensation suddenly ran down his throat, like a fiery dragon burning straight into his stomach.
Han Yu's eyes suddenly widened, and he took a sip of wine. Chu Jiu smiled and said, "Why are you kid drinking so hard?" Hurry up and bet on the fish! How is it, Uncle Nine's craftsmanship is not bad, right? ”
Han Yu nodded again and again, and said while eating: "Although I am not a food critic and can't say how good it is, I can pat my chest and say that it is the first time I have eaten such delicious fish since I was a child!" ”
Chu Jiu said with a smile: "If you like it, eat more, drink some soup, the soup boiled out of living water here can't be drunk outside!" ”
Han Yu agreed repeatedly, the fish here is indeed delicious, and I don't know if it is because of the plum blossoms, Han Yu always feels that there is an indescribable fragrance in this deliciousness!
The three of them sat around the pot like this, staggering each other.
"Old man, I took the liberty to come here today, just to ask, that, now that I have reached an agreement with Boss Ma of Huangquan Dao, then Chu Xingshe ......"
"What my old man said, it won't change. It's the fish, and it's yours now! Old Man Chu said lightly.
"Well, on behalf of everyone, thank you......"
"Wait a minute!" Old Man Chu held his wine glass, looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't be busy saying thank you first, in fact, I also have conditions!" ”
Han Yu thought for a moment and nodded, "Say it!" As long as I can do it, I will never refuse! ”
He knew very well in his heart that whether Shatian could continue to mix in Tianshui City depended on the attitude of this old man after all. The gangs in front of you are a lesson in point! The fact that those two gangs were able to make so many achievements in a short period of time already shows their strength, but in front of the old man here, it has finally become a thing of the past......
"Actually, it's nothing extraordinary! As long as you nod your head! Chu Jiu looked at Han Yu with a smile beside him, and said softly, "The old man wants to recognize you as his grandson." ”
Ahem, Han Yu took a sip of fish soup in his throat and went in, choking him hurriedly turned around and coughed again and again. After waiting for a while, he turned around and muttered, "That, just kidding, Uncle Nine?" ”
Chu Jiu didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly. Han Yu only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, and he hurriedly looked at Old Man Chu! If there was a different person here, he would have to think that the other party was scolding.
Old Man Chu still sat on the maza, holding a cigarette pouch like an old farmer: "I originally had a son under my knees, but he went early, and only left me Yan'er, a girl." Now, in the huge Chu family, there are only two people surnamed Chu, Yan Er and me. How about it, would you like to recognize me as a grandfather? ”
Chu Jiu looked at Han Yu and added: "I am the old man's guard, my original name is Meng Chujiu, not my real surname Chu." ”
Well, there's more to come, but I recommend you don't wait......
