Looking at the position of the sun, I thought to myself that when Fat Wu taught me to watch, it was too late to go back to help with lunch, but fortunately, I was lazy today and solved this important matter of General Cheng.

After a while, I walked to the intersection in the north, and I really wanted to give a big bad review for the fact that there was no convenient transportation tool like Mobike in ancient times! The adjutant general patronized me today and gave me the silver, and he didn't get a horse for me, I don't know if General Cheng forgot to give instructions or the adjutant general patronized and came to eat and forgot about it!

poked his head and looked at the intersection of North Street, why didn't he see the old man just now, and silently thought about whether his sense of direction was too poor, no, up and down, south, left, west, right, east!

Could it be that the old man asked me to find him in some shop at this crossroads?

I took a look at the surrounding shops, cloth shops, restaurants, hotels, iron shops, porcelain shops, stucco shops, bookstores... Which one?

The inn is definitely not, this is the second time I have met the old man in Wagang, and there is no strange accent, and they all talk to Fat Five, which should be the people of Wagangzhai.

The whitewash shop, this is not very much a store for the elderly to come and go, if you go, it will not be regarded as an old pervert, and it will not be as open as 2017 during the Daye year.

As for cloth shops, restaurants, iron shops, porcelain shops, bookstores... Oops, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal, and everyone is going around!

I entered the cloth shop and swept around, well, the colors are all plain, and one of the shopkeepers yawned with one hand on his head.

Bookstore, before I entered the door, I heard a burst of reading aloud, so I looked inside the door with a pestle, no.

Porcelain shop, before I entered the door, I saw a feather duster split from top to bottom, and then a fat body twisted outside the door, this mountain-like tonnage directly blocked me at the door, and I didn't even lose my sight!

"Ouch little brother, look at the porcelain, you know you can't afford it, don't come in, you can't afford to pay for it~"

I'll go, I'm not happy to hear this, what's wrong with me, don't I just have no clothes and no belongings to be the leader of the gang in the barracks?

I wash my clothes every day! Is there oil or mud! Act like a snob! Lao Tzu in 2017 can wear all brand goods! I never want to wash the dishes and throw the leftovers with the bowl, my bowl is much more expensive than your stoneware!

I didn't plan to make a noise, so I turned around and pushed to the corner of the street, leaving only the restaurant and the iron shop.

Since the old man can make me think that water and fire are compatible, I must also know something related to hot pot, since it is a pot, it must be related to iron, maybe it is in the iron shop, but hot pot is also food, and this restaurant also has a great possibility.

Well... I don't want to, the iron shop is close, let's go to the iron shop first, maybe this iron shop can still make the pot I want.

As soon as I stepped into the iron shop, I saw the old man holding a hammer and smashing a piece of red-hot iron.

"Old man, I'm here!"

When the old man heard my voice, he smashed the red-hot iron more than a dozen times before putting it in the water to cool it down, and the children on the side were invited. Continue the next steps for him.

"Hehe, it seems that you have already understood this matter of water and fire compatibility!" The old man stroked his beard and led me to sit down and pour water.

"Yes, but I don't know where the old man learned about the compatibility of fire and water."

"Old man, I'm just pinching my fingers, your water life and fire tribulation have passed, and the next thing is that this water and fire are compatible. Now that you've figured it out, let's take a look and see what else I can do to help you, old man! ”

I'll go??? So old man, you don't know what hot pot is!! Did I just come to your iron shop by coincidence???

┭—┮_┭—┮Oh, I'm so tired!

So I told the old man about the compatibility of water and fire, and it can only be said that there is a way of eating that everyone loves in my distant hometown, called hot pot, set up a pot, burn the gas flame below, burn the broth in the pot, and then shake the meat and vegetables, and after cooking, pick it up and dip it in the sauce and go directly to the stomach.

I'm going to be hungry!

The old man nodded thoughtfully, and he didn't know if he understood or not, so he said: You come with me.

When I came to the backyard, the old man motioned for me to wait, he went into the house to get something, hey, don't say it, the old man not only looks good at palmistry, but also has nothing to say about the craftsmanship of striking iron, all kinds of weapons, stoves, farm tools, etc.

I carried this, kicked that, and it took a while for the old man to bring out something covered with a red cloth.

"Forty years ago, when I was looking for grass roots in the field, I saved a man, and when he woke up, he taught me to fight this."

The red cloth was carefully uncovered, and the iron pot in the shape of an old Beijing copper pot!

"He said at the time that he couldn't let people see my house cooking on a fire, so he directly used this to add charcoal directly to it, boiled water in the pot, added salt, went to the old man I met before you dug out a lot of things, and went to the river to break the ice and get fish, that year of famine, our family relied on this pot to survive!"

After listening to the old man's words, my heart was happy! Hey! It seems that this is still a magical person who knows hot pot, and the thing that goes to the bamboo forest in winter should be winter bamboo shoots, and the ice fishing in the river is also thanks to this person who still has a little common sense in life, if it is someone else, they are afraid that they will break the ice and fall into it!

Otherwise, the old man is right to make a fire to cook rice, in the famine years, if the fire is opened to cook rice, it is definitely not normal, if it is found that winter bamboo shoots can be used, and there is a method of ice-breaking fishing, then there is also what the family eats!

The shape of the old Beijing copper pot is to add charcoal in the middle of the high tube, the heat conducts heat from it to the pot, boils water, and you can also drink soup when cooking, winter bamboo shoots and fish fillet soup, fresh eyebrows, if you have some dry food can also be baked on the high tube, just this soup dish, tsk, not simple, this person is quite thoughtful!

I'm not the only one who has crossed over! It's really not something that I came up with out of thin air!

However, the copper pot in front of me is still a little different, not to mention the craftsmanship and workmanship of the Great Cause, and it is not very suitable to take this material as an example.

The old Beijing copper pot is made of copper, but the old man's house is made of iron.

If it is burned with fire for a long time, even if there is water in the pot, it will be red, and it is okay to use this to make a life-saving meal in the famine years, but General Cheng's banquet guests can be said to have to calm down the various emotions of the brothers, and drink and talk freely, the time must be long, if it is not a copper pot, it will not work.

The mood changed from the dark clouds to the moonlight, and the sky was cloudy, thinking that the old man might have some way to solve the problem of the pot, but now this pot is not used, if it is too late to take a big bite, the military adviser calculates that it is the first day of the next month to enthrone the ceremony, and there are only a few days left.

The old man, who seemed to see my problem, said, "Actually, there is another bite in this pot." ”

Another bite? That means I still have hope!

In an uncertain tone, I asked again, "Are you serious, old man?" ”

"Old man, I'm so serious that I can't be more serious!"

I'LL GO, IF THERE WAS A MIRROR IN FRONT OF ME NOW, I THINK I'D BE A BULINGBULING LITTLE STAR IN BOTH EYES!

"The owner of the restaurant next door to the old man, peeked at the pot in the old man's house on the wall last winter, and drew a brass pot in Luoyang City, and said that it is the treasure of the town store in the store is unique, and it will be used in the store this winter, the old man I am simply, hey!"

I experienced the sadness of the old man, it was obviously a secret method left by others to repay him, but it was seen by others and he had to take it out and sell it in winter, which was hateful!

Tsk, this wall is really short, and the villain is also drunk! But since this pot is useless, isn't it just right?

"Old man, you and I haven't eaten lunch, why don't you go next door to fill your stomach and let me borrow a pot by the way?"

When the old man heard this, his eyes lit up: "Okay, good, old man, I'll go with you today to have a luxury!" ”

I patted the old man's hand: "Don't get in the way, I'll please!" ”

Hmph, I am very principled to invite people to dinner with Yuanbao, not to let the old man beg for money, not to let women beg for money, and not to let children beg for money.

Let's go! If it's really the same copper pot, then I'll really borrow it!
