Xu Rat walked over with two bowls of rice, one bowl in front of Shan Xiongxin and one bowl in front of Mu Jiu.

Xu Rat carried the extra-large food box containing the simmered male duck and put it on the table, and Xu Maogong (Li Ji) opened the extra-large food box containing the simmered male duck. said with a smile: "Brother Shan, Brother Mu Jiu, my father's stewed male duck, please taste it." After speaking, he sat down next to Shan Xiongxin.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said: "Xu rat, let's eat stewed male duck together."

Xu Mouse responded: "Yes." He walked over with two bowls of rice, put one bowl in front of Xu Maogong (Li Ji), then sat down next to Mu Jiu, and put the other bowl in front of him.

Mu Jiu smiled and asked, "The second master, his hometown is from Song County, why is there a fly in the ointment?"

Shan Xiongxin replied: "Brother Mu Jiu, Wagangzhai has reached more than 470 miles to Song County, and Wagangzhai has reached more than 320 miles to Zheng County, and Song County is too far away, so I say it is a fly in the ointment."

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said: "Shan brothers, Mu Jiu brothers, this stewed male duck, stewed for 12 hours, stewed by my father early yesterday morning, sent this morning, please taste it."

Shan Xiongxin tore off a piece of duck meat with chopsticks, took a bite, and put the remaining duck meat in the rice bowl in front of him, chewed it carefully, and blurted out: "The meat is rotten and fragrant, and it is rare and delicious."

Mu Jiu also tore off a small piece of duck meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, Brother Xu, why should this duck meat be stewed for twelve hours before it can be eaten?"

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) replied with a smile: "Brother Mu Jiu, stew the male duck for a day and a night, and the stew is very ripe, and the effect is comparable to ginseng and astragalus."

Shan Xiongxin asked with a smile: "Brother Xu, why is it called a simmered duck?"

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) replied with a smile: "Single brother, the simmering male duck is the male duck that is stewed for twelve hours with a small and slow fire."

Shan Xiongxin picked up the remaining duck meat in the rice bowl with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and then put the remaining duck meat in the rice bowl in front of him, chewed it carefully, and said while chewing: "This stewed male duck is indeed a rare delicacy."

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) asked with a smile: "Brother Mu Jiu, your first squad, do you have a good hometown in Zheng County?"

Mu Jiu replied with a smile: "Brother Xu, our first team, I know that there are three people whose hometown is Zheng County, is the water quality good?" I'll go back and ask. ”

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said with a smile: "Brother Mu Jiu, do you ask those three hometowns to be from Zheng County?" Be sure to ask nature. ”

Mu Jiu smiled and asked, "Brother Xu, how to ask the natural question?"

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) replied: "Brother Mu Jiu, you ask like this, is your hometown from Zheng County?" If he replies that it is from Zheng County, you can continue to ask, I heard that there are fishers in Zheng County who are very profitable, do you fish at home? If he says that his family fishes, then you ask him if he can swim, and if he says he can swim, you say that Xu Gongzi has something to do with him, and quietly lead him to me.

If he says that his family doesn't fish, and his family farms, then you also ask him if he can swim, if he says he can't swim, and then you go on to say, my hometown is short of money, I want to ask what kind of fish to make more money, and finally you have to tell him, you ask him about fishing to make money, don't say it to the outside, let Captain Zhao know that it's not good. ”

Mu Jiu smiled and asked, "Brother Xu, why is this thing so mysterious?"

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) replied: "Brother Mu Jiu, the Art of War says: This kind of thing must be done in secret."

Mu Jiu asked in surprise: "Brother Xu, let me ask, our team's hometown is from Zhengjun, can we swim?" Is this what the Art of War says? ”

Shan Xiongxin interjected: "Brother Mu Jiu, did you see the competition between Wagangzhai and the Divine Eagle Dart Bureau?"

Mu Jiu replied with a smile: "Second master, I was on the corner tower at the gate of Qianzhai that day, and I saw it very clearly."

Shan Xiongxin continued: "Brother Mu Jiu, have you seen the eighteen Shaolin Temple monks in a circle?"

Mu Jiu replied with a smile: "The second master, I saw it, the second master entered the circle first, and then the big boss also entered the circle, and after that, Brother Xu replaced the two masters from the circle, Brother Xu kicked down the six Shaolin Temple monks, and the three Shaolin Temple monks were beaten and couldn't move."

Shan Xiongxin continued: "Brother Mu Jiu, you see that the eighteen Shaolin Temple monks are in a circle, which is the formation in the art of war, no one in our Wagangzhai understands it, only Brother Xu is the most understanding of the art of war."

Mu Jiu seemed to understand and nodded.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) opened the extra-large food box containing Yiya five-flavor chicken, took out a casserole, and said with a smile: "Single brother, Mu Jiu brother, this dish is called Yiya five-flavor chicken, the casserole has a lid, my father said, Yiya five-flavor chicken does not like to be cold, eat it in winter and try it quickly."

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) picked up the lid of the casserole and put the lid on the corner of the table.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) turned over the chicken in the casserole with chopsticks, and then used chopsticks to tear off a large piece of chicken breast meat, put it in the rice bowl of Brother Mu Jiu, and said with a smile: "Brother Mu Jiu, taste it."

Mu Jiu used chopsticks to tear off a small piece of chicken breast meat in the rice bowl and put it in his mouth to chew carefully, and while chewing, he blurted out: "It's so fragrant, it's delicious."

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said: "Single brothers, Xu rats, come and taste it."

Shan Xiongxin tore off a small piece of chicken with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and said with a smile while chewing: "Brother Xu, the famous dish made by Ling Zun is delicious."

Xu Rat tore off a small piece of chicken with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile while chewing: "Young Master, this Yiya five-flavor chicken is really not cold."

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said: "Brother Mu Jiu, when it comes to today's matter, if you say the wrong thing a little casually, you may endanger the lives of those three people from Zhengjun in the future.

Figuratively speaking: those three hometown Zheng County people have entered the circle surrounded by the eighteen Shaolin Temple monks, if you talk nonsense, the Luohan stick in the hands of the eighteen Shaolin Temple monks may hit the three hometown Zheng County people. When it comes to today, it's best if you don't say anything. ”

Mu Jiu said, "Brother Xu, I understand a little."

Shan Xiongxin interjected: "Brother Mu Jiu, to put it bluntly, the art of war is the most useful law, you have to do it step by step, completely according to his law, in fact, it is easy to do it right, and it is easy to win, just like Brother Xu broke the formation of eighteen Shaolin Temple monks in a circle."

Brother Mu Jiu, you have to do it step by step now, completely according to what Brother Xu said, as short as three or five months, as long as a year and a half, and you will understand everything. ”

Mu Jiu said: "Second master, what Brother Xu said just now, I understand a little, and as soon as you say this, I understand it even more."
