The lantern festival in Yifu City is very famous, and many people who come from all over the city gather to enter the city.

Lu Xiaoyi lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out secretly, only to see that there were two more soldiers with negative armor at the gate of the city, all with serious expressions and fierce temperaments.

Once he entered the city, the crowd that had just been silent immediately burst into an uproar, followed by the sound of hawkers, bargaining, calling friends, and singing small songs, all kinds of sounds poured into his ears, Lu Xiaoyi sighed, it was still that prosperous one-man city!

Qi Shan led the carriage along the bustling crowd and walked slowly, Lu Zhong and his party followed closely behind, occasionally walking by a column of mighty soldiers, the pedestrians, carriages and horses immediately flashed to both sides, allowing the soldiers to pass over and converge together to continue to move forward.

Lu Xiaoyi greedily looked at the lively scenery on both sides of the street, and muttered in a low voice: There is nowhere to find the taste of the long hatred of the year, and I don't know how to turn here.

The New Year's flavor of the farmhouse has faded, and the New Year's flavor in the city is still so strong. The shops on both sides of the street still hang a long string of red lanterns, and the faces of the shops are pasted with black letters on a red background. Turning onto the street leading to the Qishan shop, I saw a few naughty teenagers squatting at the door of the shop in the distance, lit a small cannon and threw it at the feet of pedestrians, with a snapping sound, frightening the pedestrians to reprimand loudly, and the little teenagers laughed and hid in the shop.

It turned out that the previous sound of the cannon was played by the little teenagers, Xiao Geng also woke up, and when he heard the sound of the cannon fight, he suddenly came to his senses, and looked out next to Xiao Yi. Regretfully: "I forgot to bring a few small artillery battles I saved." ”

Lu Xiaoyi said with a smile: "Your artillery battles are stained with snow and can't be lit." ”

Xiao Geng thought of a good idea and said excitedly: "I'll bake them in the stove." ”

Lu Xiaoyi glanced at Yulan, and patted Xiao Geng's little head again, "Ask for more blessings!" ”

The carriage finally arrived at the Qishan shop, and Xu Wu and Zhang Tieniu had already cleaned up the yard behind the shop and waited for the Lu family to come.

When Lu Xiaoyi entered the hospital, he greeted Xu Wu and Zhang Tieniu loudly, he was a rough type, Lu Xiaoyi was also free and easy in front of them, and Xiaoding was not restrained. Xiao Geng is even more self-cooked. He went to play on the wooden stake in the corner of the courtyard. Yulan and Wang Dongmei saluted Xu and Zhang, and then went to the east guest room to rest.

Qi Shan happily beckoned Brother Lu Zhong and Yu Liang into the hall to drink tea, and loudly changed the tea-making Xiao Er Qi Feng, and shouted a few times and disappeared. Qi Shan stood on the stone steps outside the hall and scolded: "This wild donkey. I can't stop for a day. Where did you run again? ”

Xu Wu brought the tea and said with a smile: "Young man, wouldn't it be stupid to be locked up at home all day." ”

Qi Shan waved his hand. "Forget it, it's best to lose him."

Zhang Tieniu said: "Boss, Fengzi went to do business today, he learned that the Lu family was going to come to see the Lantern Festival, so he went to West Street early, saying that there were many people and cars at night, and he had to be fully prepared!" ”

Qi Shan was quite satisfied, and said with a smile: "This kid has done something serious!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi also felt that Qi Feng had done a thoughtful job, and he must find out the route in advance on crowded occasions, in case of an emergency that caused a stampede, at least he could stay calm and retreat.

Yu Liang said: "Uncle Qi, I'll look for Fengzi and come back with him in a while." ”

Lu Xiaoyi wanted to go with him, thinking that Xiao Ding Xiaogeng would also follow, but Lu Zhongding did not allow it, but he was destined to not be able to go, so he didn't speak. Seeing Yu Liang leave, she turned her head and saw Zhang Tieniu glaring at her, her eyes blinking violently, as if there were small flying insects in her eyes, which looked a little funny.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoyi didn't react, Zhang Tieniu silently hooked his little finger at her again.

Lu Xiaoyi leaned over and whispered, "Uncle Zhang, is there something?" ”

Zhang Tieniu led her to the door of the corner room, although she was a little embarrassed, she still said directly: "Xiao Yi, the boss arranged for me to cook dinner, you come to help me, you also know that I can dance with a gun and a stick, but it is a little difficult for me to take a spatula." ”

What do you think is the matter? It turned out to be helping with the cooking. Lu Xiaoyi readily agreed and called Xiao Ding up.

Seeing Xiao Geng playing alone in the courtyard, worried that he would slip out of the yard and run away for a while, Lu Xiaoyi asked Zhang Tieniu to wait, and took Xiao Geng to Yulan's side with Xiao Ding, and told Yulan about helping with cooking.

Yulan was prepared, and took out two old clothes in the bag for Xiao Yi Xiaoding to change into.

Lu Xiaoyi was surprised: "Mother, you actually brought old clothes, didn't you expect that Xiaoding and I would help cook." ”

Yulan smiled, "I'm not a god, how can I expect things to be like a god, I just thought of staying in the city for a night, and it doesn't hurt to bring you an extra set of clothes." ”

As soon as Xiaoyi Xiaoding left, Yulan said to Wang Dongmei: "Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise Xiaoyi Xiaoding's new clothes would be full of the smell of oily smoke." ”

Wang Dongmei was also surprised: "Sister-in-law, did you really expect it?" ”

Yulan said: "It's not as mysterious as you said, I just know this person Qishan, he likes to eat our food, and he is not willing to work on me and you, after all, the person who came is a guest, so he used this trick." ”

Wang Dongmei was puzzled: "Arrange for Brother Zhang to cook?" ”

"Well, here I and you and Xiao Yi Xiaoding can cook, so he arranged for Zhang Tieniu to go, even if the two of us know, we are embarrassed to cook in the stove room with a big man! It's still okay to change Xiaoyi and Xiaoding to help. ”

Wang Dongmei smacked her tongue, "I can't see that this Brother Qi is still as careful as a hair." ”

Yulan smiled: "That's for sure, the dart is a living licking blood from the knife, if he is not as careful as a hair, how can he live until now." ”

Wang Dongmei asked about the dart again, and Yulan didn't know much about it, so she brought the strange things that Qishan used to brag about, and the two chatted happily.

On the stove side, it was said that Zhang Tieniu asked Xiaoyi Xiaoding to help, but in fact, Xiaoyi Xiaoding was the main hit, and Zhang Tieniu cooperated.

Zhang Tieniu is now familiar with Xiaoyi Xiaoding, and he is not as shy as he was at the beginning, and his straightforward personality is very pleasing to the young lady.

Xiao Yi was washing vegetables, and when he said he wanted water, Zhang Tieniu carried two buckets over, not hanging down, but with his arms stretched out and flat, sure enough, his arm strength was good!

Xiao Ding was burning the fire, and said that he wanted firewood, Zhang Tieniu came over with two bundles of chopped firewood, his face was not red and he was not panting, he put it in front of the stove steadily, and stood in front of Xiao Ding with an axe, and said with full of anger: "Xiao Ding, if you think that piece of firewood is not suitable, I will split it!" After speaking, the axe in his hand flashed a red light with great cooperation.

That's right, it's red light instead of cold light, because Xiao Ding lit the firewood, and the red tongue of fire floated out, reflecting the axe's edge.

Lu Xiaoyi was chopping vegetables, and when he saw the bright red axe facing Xiao Ding, he was so anxious that he raised the kitchen knife and shouted at Zhang Tieniu: "Uncle Zhang, the axe should stay away from my sister!" ”

Zhang Tieniu hurriedly retreated to the mouth of the stove room, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you won't hurt her." With that, he put the axe on his shoulders and stood still stupidly.

Zhang Tieniu asked to eat back to the pot meat, Lu Xiaoyi looked at the vegetable basket and found that there was green garlic and smoked dried tofu, so he agreed. The jar of chili sauce used to be still there, and it smells no strange smell, and it can still be eaten, so let's make do with a pot of meat! I secretly made up my mind to make some chili sauce for them next summer, and keep some for myself.

When Zhang Tieniu took out the pork belly, Lu Xiaoyi felt that his elbows were cramping, and then he felt dizzy in his head, such a big piece of pork belly is completely half a pig's five flowers, okay? Why don't you buy the whole pig?

Zhang Tieniu saw Xiao Yi trembling slightly when he saw Xiao Yi holding the vegetable case, and asked, "Is it not enough?" I'll buy it again! Without waiting for Lu Xiaoyi to speak, he muttered again: "I said earlier that I bought all the pork belly of a pig, but Xu Wu, a stupid donkey, said too much, I knew it was so, so I wouldn't listen to him." ”

Lu Xiaoyi held his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Zhang, this meat is too much!" ”

This is a home-cooked stir-fry, not a big pot of rice for the canteen! You buy all the half pork belly of a pig, how can people fry it? Without a shovel as a spatula, and without a bathtub as a wok, I can't finish frying this meat, so do you want me to divide it into ten parts and fry it ten times?

Lu Xiaoyi felt that she was about to vomit blood, she looked over the large slices of pork belly, picked the most suitable two knives and five flowers for back to the pot, asked Zhang Tieniu to cut it, and then threw it into the pot to cook, and then put in ginger slices, shallots, a few peppercorns, and star anise.

Zhang Tieniu pointed to the remaining meat and said distressedly: "These meats are not fried anymore?" That piece just now is not enough to eat! I can eat it all by myself! ”

Lu Xiaoyi shrugged his shoulders and bent his arm to show Zhang Tieniu, "Uncle Zhang, look at my little arm, I can't turn it over with too much meat!" ”

"You give me the command, I'll stir it up!" Zhang Tieniu said excitedly.

It's not that I don't believe you, but your arm strength is too strong, and one accidentally smashes a hole in the bottom of the pot, what will the big guy eat at night. Lu Xiaoyi thought for a while and compromised: "Then cut another piece, I'll fry it twice, and make a braised pork with the rest, and then pair it with a few vegetarian dishes, Uncle Zhang, we can't just eat meat, we have to match meat and vegetables!" ”

Zhang Tieniu's requirements are not high, "Okay, as long as you go back to the pot and have enough meat to eat, you can watch the other dishes!" ”

In the spare time of cooking meat, Lu Xiaoyi began to chop vegetables. In the previous life, I can cook, and I often practice in this life, and the rhythm of cutting radishes is great, and the kitchen knife is easy in the hand, this is the feel, and it depends on long-term practice, as for the kind of 36 knives of a piece of dried tofu in horizontal batches, 72 knives vertically, cut as thin as cotton thread is breathtaking, Lu Xiaoyi feels that after a few years of hard practice, he may be able to achieve that kind of knife work, and when the time comes, he will open a husband and wife restaurant with Brother Liang, specializing in scalding dried silk, and may be able to mix here to dominate the kitchen forest!

Lu Xiaoyi thought beautifully, the kitchen knife in his hand was even more sharp, click, slice and shred, Zhang Tieniu stood aside and watched, until Lu Xiaoyi finished cutting the radish in his hand, and then said: "Xiaoyi, I see that your bones are ...... wonderful."

Lu Xiaoyi interrupted loudly: "Wait! Stop, stop! Uncle Zhang, do you want to say that I am a rare martial arts wizard, and you want to sell me a copy of the heirloom martial arts cheats! ”

Zhang Tieniu shook his head, "I can't be a martial arts wizard, and I don't have martial arts secrets, I just want to ask you if you practice the Nine Ring Sword?" I'll teach you! ”

"Don't practice!"

"Where's the mountain splitting axe?"

"Uncle Zhang, if you say it again, I won't fry the meat back in the pot!"

"Oh." Zhang Tieniu regretted it. (To be continued.) )
