The store made the pork shoulder and served it on the table, which was hot and fragrant and salivating, Ding Hu was overjoyed, so he and Xiaofeng raised the wine and chopsticks again, and feasted.

The two of them ate this meal heartily and enjoyed it very much, thinking that it was a rare blessing in their lives.

After eating, the two were about to let the store clean up, but before they came to leave the table, suddenly a man came from outside the store, hurriedly approached the store, and said loudly to the store: "Shopkeeper, I ordered the soup and make it for me, I will take it home for my mother to eat, and the money is here."

Xiao Feng was slightly startled, then raised his eyes to look at the man, only to see that the big man was eight feet tall, about thirty years old, with a heroic appearance, but wearing coarse cloth brown clothes, simple and simple, almost shabby.

When the shopkeeper saw the man come in, he just complained in his heart, and when he saw that the man came to ask for it, he had no choice but to say with a smile: "The guest officer is really embarrassed, I prepared it for you today, but it was a coincidence, I didn't want to put it in the kitchen at night and be eaten by the greedy cat." The villain doesn't know how to explain to the guest officer! ”

When the man heard this, his face showed a look of disappointment, and he glanced at the leftover soup on the table of Xiaofeng and Ding Hu, and understood in his heart. Then he hated the shopkeeper and said: "You said that you reserved it for me, but you sold it to others, and now you prevaricate that it was a cat that stole it, I have always bought and sold in your store, have you ever broken your promise?" What are you doing today? ”

Seeing that this big man was angry, the shopkeeper opened his eyes angrily, and he was at a loss in his heart, knowing that it was difficult to deal with, so he had to accompany Xiao to make amends, ask the guest officer to atone for his sins, and say that he would send it on the day.

The big man was still angry, and said sharply: "You must know that I have spent many twists and turns in order to buy you a piece of soup for my mother to eat!" And when you do this, do you look down on my family's poverty? Although I am poor, how can I ever lose a penny of your money for food and drink? You deceived me so much today, I have to give you a memory! ”

So he picked up a few cases and wanted to smash the door of the store, Xiao Feng saw it, and quickly got up and left the table to persuade him: "Step down and do it slowly, the soup you want is what I am waiting to eat, and it is not about the store's family affairs, I don't know, I will make amends to the foot today!"

The big man was still angry, raised the desk and said: "Although I am poor, I treat people with integrity, if people do not treat me honestly, they will deceive me." Now he obviously made this soup for you to eat, why did he lie to me and say that the beast would steal it? ”

Xiaofeng hurriedly persuaded him with a smile: "It's all because I can't wait." The store was originally going to leave it for the foot, but because it was really greedy to satisfy the cravings, I begged the store to do it. Look down and look down there, and don't care about it. Please eat and drink to make amends for your sins on the next day! ”

The big man fixed his eyes on Xiaofeng, slightly surprised, Ding Hu also came over to persuade him, and the big man put down the table, and said with a sad face: "This soup guest officer doesn't care if he eats it, it just makes me embarrassed." ”

Xiao Feng saw that it was very strange, so he asked Dahan, "Have you had dinner at your feet?" ”

Dahan replied, "Not yet." ”

Xiaofeng said to the shopkeeper: "Let's make two more drinks and dishes for this brother, and the meal money will be counted on me." Then he asked the big man to sit down and said, "Step down and talk slowly, what's the difficulty?" ”

The big man saw that Xiaofeng was so gracious, and there was no trace of politeness, so he also sat down obediently, sighed first, and then said to Xiaofeng: "A certain is a Daliang person's name, surnamed Hou Mingying, known as Hou Sheng, living in the eastern suburbs of Daliang City, without a field and family business, my father had to be a Daliang Yimen to support his family. My father died of illness a few years ago, so I took over my father's business and became the order of Yimen. Now only the old mother is in the hall, I do Yimen Ling to earn a little money to support the old mother, the old mother is old, almost seventy years old, coarse tea and light rice for a lifetime, once accidentally ate this family's angelica soup. I never forgot it, now that my mother is old and sick, I am afraid that I will go west one day and will not be able to fulfill my filial piety. So I sold Angelica Shoulder Soup for my mother twice a month in this store for her to eat. This soup is very expensive, and my monthly income is meager, which is only enough to buy it twice. This morning, my mother was talking about it, saying that she wanted to eat this soup, so I came here in the morning to greet the store. I came early today to pick it up, but I checked it in the city and delayed the hour, so I came now, but I didn't want to. When I go home, I can't support my mother and make my mother feel comfortable, so I feel sad. ”

Xiao Feng couldn't help but be greatly moved after hearing this, so he said to Dahan: "You are the most filial person, don't make it difficult for you first, let me ask the store, I will definitely live up to your filial piety." ”

Hou Huanshang was stunned, Xiao Feng came to the back kitchen and asked the shopkeeper: "Besides your family, is there any other place in the city where you can buy this soup?" ”

The shopkeeper was surprised: "This soup is the unique dish of the villain family, and there are only three or five in Daliang City, and there are probably them, but it's almost the middle of the night, and I have to go out to find it, but I'm afraid that it will be three days before I send it back." The guest officer still waits for tomorrow, and he will be able to have it tomorrow morning. ”

Xiaofeng said: "This strong man is a filial person, and he must not let his mind be blocked. That's why I am fulfilling his filial piety. Go and find me a portion of this soup, and I will pay you twice the price. ”

The shopkeeper said: "This is so inappropriate, since the guest officer is so gracious, the villain will let people look for it, but if there is no one, if you can't find it, don't blame the guest officer." There is no need to double the price, the guest officer just rewards the little guy with a little running money. ”

Xiaofeng said: "Very good, you can find it, and the money will no longer be counted." ”

The shopkeeper instructed a small servant, and went to other clan stores to get a piece of angelica soup, the little guy was ordered to go, Xiaofeng took out a hundred cloth coins out, and rewarded the little guy, the little guy was overjoyed, and went out happily.

Xiaofeng returned to his seat and said to Hou Huan: "Wait a minute, I have already instructed the store to go elsewhere to find this soup for your feet." It's all our desire for good fortune that makes it difficult for us to put our feet in a difficult place. I apologize for my sins! ”

When Hou Huan saw this, he was also deeply moved, and got up to thank Xiaofeng, who hurriedly invited him to take a seat. The store had already prepared the wine and food, and Xiaofeng beckoned Hou Huan to eat.

Hou Huan was busy all day during the day, her stomach was hungry and thirsty, and the wine and food were on the table, Hou Huan asked Xiaofeng and Ding Hu to move the chopsticks first, and Xiaofeng smiled: "I am already full of wine and food, this is specially prepared for the foot." I see that I have the appearance of a hero, and I don't have to see the outside, although I have a meal. ”

Hou Huan thanked him for the ceremony, and then put down the chopsticks to eat, sure enough, it was the true character of a hero, cutting the meat and eating it in large pieces, raising wine and drinking, and in an instant, the wine and food on the table were all rolled up by Hou Huan.

Xiaofeng praised: "It's so heroic! And the mother to filial piety, really do not hide the foot, in the next is Liangzhou heroes, now to the Central Plains travel through business, but also to make friends with the Central Plains heroes. I admire the foot very much, and I am willing to make friends with the foot, and I don't know if I don't dislike it? ”

Hou Huan was also deeply moved by Xiaofeng's boldness, and heard that Xiaofeng said that he was a hero of Liangzhou. immediately agreed: "Although I have never been to Liangzhou, I don't know what the characters in Liangzhou are?" But if you know that you will trust me, I will treat others with trust. Blindfolded under the favor of the foot, I am willing to make friends with the foot. ”

So Xiaofeng asked the store to bring some incense, and the two made friends in the hotel and burned incense to worship as brothers. Hou Huan was older, and Xiaofeng was seven or eight years younger, so he was called his brother. After finishing, Xiaofeng introduced Ding Hu to Hou Huan and said: "This is also a hero of Liangzhou, and he is a brother with his foolish brother. The elder Xiaofeng is thirteen years old, and now his brother and Xiaofeng are all brothers. ”

Hou Huan saw Ding Hu again, also known as Ding Hu as his brother. The three of them hit it off at first sight, and they talked very much, and before they knew it, they were ugly, and the little guy who went out to look for soup had come back, very good, and they also found a Ding Angelica soup back. Xiaofeng gave the soup to Hou Huan, and said to Hou Huan: "Brother, go home and put this soup into the high hall, which can still make the foolish brother understand a little." ”

Hou Huan saw that Xiaofeng really found the soup, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and thanked him: "The virtuous brother is anxious, arrogant, and so hospitable, the foolish brother thinks that the current Meng Weijun is nothing more than that." ”

Xiaofeng said with a smile: "I'm just a cloth in the rivers and lakes, how can I dare to compare with Meng Weijun?" It's already late today, and Brother Rong Yu will visit Brother Xian again tomorrow, and he won't get drunk by then. Brother go back quickly, so as not to be expected by the old mother. ”

Hou Huan took a deep look at Xiaofeng, and said to Xiaofeng: "Brother Ding and Brother Xian are not very familiar with Daliang when they first come to Daliang, and they are resting in the guest house, let me finish my affairs tomorrow, and take half a day to accompany Brother Zun and Brother Xian to visit Daliang City." Then he carefully held the soup in his hand, and hurried home.

Xiaofeng and Ding Hu were sent out of the hall, and when they saw Hou Huan going away, Xiaofeng was thoughtful and sighed to Ding Hu: "I have heard that Daliang City in the Central Plains is a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and there are many heroes. Brother Hou is a man today, although he is poor, he does not fall into the ambition of the clouds! It's better to see than to hear, and now it's true. ”

When the shopkeeper heard it, he said to Xiaofeng: "What the guest officer said is exact!" This Daliang City, especially advocating the heroic style. In the past, the deeds of Yu Rang were widely spread in the Wei State. From the princes and generals to the peddlers and pawns, admiring the heroic behavior, it has become a trend. ”

Yu Rang was originally a native of the Jin Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he was treated very well by the Zhibo of the Jin Kingdom. Later, Han Zhao Wei jointly destroyed Zhibo, Zhao Xiangzi hated Zhibo very much, and after capturing and killing Zhibo, he used Zhibo's skull as a wine vessel. When Yu Rang learned about it, he wanted to avenge Zhibo and assassinate Zhao Xiangzi.

Yu Rang hid in the toilet, and when Zhao Xiangzi entered the toilet, he took the opportunity to assassinate, but Zhao Xiangzi suddenly noticed that something was wrong and was spared, and the guards searched for Yu Rang in the toilet. So he let Yu go.

Yu Rang swallowed charcoal again and became dumb, self-destructing his appearance, so as not to be recognized, holding a sword and ambushing by the bridge, waiting for Zhao Xiangzi's chariot and horse to cross the bridge to assassinate. Zhao Xiangzi crossed the bridge, the horse was startled, and Zhao Xiangzi sighed: "This must be Yu Rangye." ”

So people searched for him, and sure enough, Yu Rang was found under the bridge, and Zhao Xiangzi asked: "You assassinated me before, and I have pardoned you, why is this so?" I can't forgive you again this time. ”

Yu Rang said: "He treats me with everyone, I repay him with everyone, he treats me with a countryman, I will repay him with a countryman!" Zhibo treats me as a countryman, how can I not repay me as a countryman? Although he can't avenge the old master, Yu Rang stabbed his son twice, and now he knows that his sin is unforgivable. I wish to get my son's clothes and cut off his heart, so as to make a wish! ”

Zhao Xiangzi praised Yu Rang's righteousness, in order to fulfill his wish, he took off his clothes and placed Yu Rang in front, Yu Rang drew his sword and jumped three times, beheaded Zhao Xiangzi's clothes to take revenge, and then killed himself.

Zhao Xiangzi ordered a thick burial. Since then, the story of Yu Rang's revenge for the deceased has spread all over the world, and his arguments about the people of the country have convinced the world. Wei Ben is one of the three Jin Dynasty, advocating morality, and the heroic style of Daliang City prevails.

Xiaofeng heard that the shopkeeper told the story of Yu Rang, and sighed: "The land of the Central Plains is really outstanding. Seeing that the night was dark, he asked the shopkeeper to help add forage and drinking water for the horses, and he and Ding Hu went back upstairs to the guest house to rest. The store is closed.
