Chapter 60: Braised Beef Noodles
Yu Wuya's character, Chen Xu's observation based on his twenty-five years of life experience in later generations, should not be bad, no matter how bad a foodie and rice bucket are, it can't be bad.
In later generations, there was a saying in the countryside: a woman with a head up and a man with a low head, and a red-skinned radish with a single head of garlic, which means that it is best not to touch these four things.
The green-skinned radish and the one-headed garlic are the most spicy things, good looking or not, and the woman who walks with her head up, that is, looking around to see what others are doing, and then chewing the tongue root gossip everywhere, this kind of woman is generally more spicy and does not abide by women's morals, do not contact too much on weekdays, bow your head Han, is to say that if a man lowers his head all day and does not speak, then he must be calculating others, the real atmosphere of the upright man, generally walking is to walk with his head up, his eyes are level, and his eyes are bright and upright.
Through contact and observation in these days, although Yu Wuya has always refused to say his identity, he has a clear eye, is also polite to Chen Xu's family, behaves reasonably and appropriately, and has never had any other vices.
And Chen Xu wants to turn tea into money, and now Yu Wuya is his best or even the only choice, so what he has to do now is to let Yu Wuya go back alive and well, and then help him sell the tea.
As long as you dig your first pot of gold with tea, the tea is almost useless, the market is too small, the audience is too small, the money is too slow, and the cycle is too long, if you just rely on the wild tea trees found in the mountains, you can't sell a few catties a year, and if you want to plant tea trees to produce tea, at least seven or eight years later, and at that time it is estimated that the Qin Dynasty is almost over.
"Don't move! Otherwise, it's sticky! ”
At this time, Yu Wuya was wearing Chen Jiang's washed and repaired black clothes, sitting motionless on a stone, his face shaking slightly.
Chen Xu used a homemade bamboo tweezers to stick his beard to Yu Wuya's face.
The source of the beard is Chen Xu's hair, and the adhesive is fish gelatin made from fish bladder, in order to get this bit of fish gelatin, Chen Xu temporarily weaved several huge rattan baskets with large mouths and small abdomen, and Wagyu Dashi was busy for two nights to get dozens of catties of fish, and all the fish maw was only boiled out of a ball of glue the size of a pigeon's egg.
Yu Wuya couldn't see the changes on his face, but the fish glue was a little hot, and every time Chen Xu stuck one on his face, his cheek couldn't help but shake, so Chen Xu could only keep reminding him.
It took half an hour, and Chen Xu glued two or three hundred times before he finally glued out a four- or five-inch-long beard on Yu Wuya's chin, and two mustaches on his lips.
Chen Xu stood in front of Yu Wuya and looked left and right, his face twitching constantly.
It's so ugly!
But it was this makeup technique that was so ugly that Chen Xu couldn't bear to look at it, but the result presented made Niu Dashi, Chen Jiang, and Xing'er all open their mouths wide and have a stunned expression.
"Eun Gong, okay no!" Although Yu Wuya cultivated internal strength, and his spirit and soul boasted of being extremely stable, under the intently gaze of several people, he was still covered with caterpillars, uncomfortable and nervous, and he didn't know what this young man who had magical performances every day had made himself look like.
"Okay, go look in the mirror...... Well, a basin of water! Chen Xu sighed, dropped the pottery bowl and tweezers containing fish gelatin, and pointed to a basin of water next to him.
Yu Wuya quickly stood up and walked to the side of the water basin, looked inside, and then showed an unbelievable look on his face, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the beard on his face.
"Don't pull it, the glue hasn't dried yet!" Chen Xu hurriedly reminded.
"It's amazing, it's amazing, I can't imagine that there is such a subtle and wonderful disguise technique in the world, go out like this, no one can recognize me!" Yu Wuya excitedly squeezed his eyebrows at the reflection in the water, wanting to touch his beard, but he was afraid of tearing it off, so he looked like a dancing god.
But Chen Xu couldn't help rolling his eyes.
The real magic is called the Meitu App, known as one of the four evil arts in the Asian beauty industry, and many women will not even recognize their beauty, let alone their parents.
"Okay, don't take a photo, let's hurry up on the road while it's still early!" Chen Xu handed Yu Wuya a row of bamboo barrels tied with hemp rope like bullet belts.
Yu Wuya reluctantly took a look at the basin for a while, took the bamboo tube and hung it on his body, and then looked like he wanted to say something.
"What else?" Chen Xu asked.
"Engong, it's a long way to Wancheng, first lend me 2,000 yuan to make a coil, and then pay you back five times!"
Chen Xu's face instantly turned black like the bottom of a pot, and his head shook like a rattle: "No!" ”
"What about a thousand dollars?"
"Nope!"
"Five hundred?"
"Neither!"
"You have to give some!"
"Two hundred dollars!" Chen Xu thought about it for a while and felt that it was indeed not okay not to give a penny, and he must still eat food on the road, otherwise he would starve to death.
"Two hundred dollars, that's too little!" Yu Wuya looked at the two hundred coins handed over by Chen Xu and muttered.
"Look at my house, where are there valuable things, it's really far to go to Wancheng, but as long as you get to the town, you can find a way to blend in with the caravans, and if you can't do it, you can steal a horse......"
"Stealing...... Stealing horses? Niu Dashi, Chen Jiang, and Xing'er all looked at Chen Xu in horror.
"Brother Xu, steal ...... Stealing a horse will be killed! Niu Dashi stammered.
"I let him steal, and I didn't steal!" Chen Xu said calmly.
"Well, stealing horses is indeed a good idea, thank you for your advice, sister-in-law take care, little sister take care, brother Niu take care, Engong take care, Wuya farewell!"
Yu Wuya turned around after arching his hand, and couldn't help but look back at the stove that was still smoking green smoke and said reluctantly: "It's a pity that I can't eat the peerless delicacy cooked by Engong this time, it's a pity, but don't worry, Engong will definitely come back early, I hope to be able to eat a different delicacy next time!" At the same time, please rest assured that Wuya will definitely be able to bring back good news to Engong! ”
"If you really bring back good news, I invite you to eat braised beef noodles!" Chen Xu patted Yu Wuya's shoulder and said.
Yu Wuya was stunned for a moment and said with a face full of surprise: "This dish is delicious when I hear it, Wuya is looking forward to it, there will be a period after Engong!" ”
Seeing Yu Wuya's figure finally disappear on the tree-lined path, Chen Xu let out a long breath.
Nima, this rice bucket is finally gone!
"Brother Xu, what is the braised beef noodles? Hurry up and make a copy and let's try it! Niu Dashi jumped over excitedly and grabbed Chen Xu's arm.
"I can't do it now!" Chen Xu twitched a few times and said.
"Why!"
"Something's missing!"
"What's missing? I'll get it! Niu Dashi said with drooling.
"Lack of beef, lack of noodles!"
"Beef is good, what is the noodles?" Niu Dashi's excitement suddenly fell, and he asked in his mouth.
"Noodles are noodles!"
"What are the noodles?"
"Why do you ask so much, you have to help me build the toilet today, and in a few days, when I have time, I will study the stone grinding first!" Chen Xu was too lazy to explain, and he couldn't explain clearly.
Sending Yu Wuya away, Chen Xu can be regarded as a stone in his heart, taking advantage of the fact that there are almost ten days left for the wheat harvest, he wants to complete the finishing work of the house, and the toilet is the top priority.
I also had to take time to level the ground and prepare to dry the harvested wheat.
I had to pick all the tea leaves on the tree and fry them before Yu Wuya came back.
The more he thought about things, the more Chen Xu instantly had the urge to split himself in half.
