Chapter 14: The Six Swords of the Arhats

"How can it be so fragrant, how can it be so fragrant?" Outside the kitchen of the Zhu family, Zhou Qingyun couldn't stop repeating this sentence with drooling.

Not only Zhou Qingyun lost his temper, but even Zhu Shishi, who was sharpening the sickle and cleaning up the wheat stalks, couldn't stop looking at the wing, the Adam's apple was rolling all the time, not to mention the courtyard, there was some noise outside the courtyard, and the sound wafting into the yard was nothing more than "why is it so fragrant", and even the children's crying could be heard"...... I'm going to eat ...... too."

Zhu Da walked out, and his mother Zhu Wang's face was full of shock, outsiders are okay, the closer the family, the more they feel that Zhu Da's cooking skills are incredible, the mastery of the heat, the amount of seasoning, and even the knife technique, this is not something that can be practiced in one day, fortunately, Zhu Da's other performances are not beyond the scope of "this child has grown up", otherwise they will think that they are possessed by some demons and monsters, of course, these thoughts Zhu family's parents will only hide in their hearts and will never tell others.

After listening to the movement outside, Zhu Da ran to his father Zhu Shishi and said, "Dad, you go outside and tell everyone that it is Xiang Bo who has dinner with our family, and sent us wild boar meat to disperse!" ”

Although he knew that the secret of fishing and eating fish would be discovered by the villagers sooner or later, the later the better, his father Zhu Shishi, who was sharpening the sickle, was stunned, and then reacted, got up and went out, he shouted two voices outside the door, and the outside of the house soon became quiet, leaving only the voices of children.

"Wild boars are not easy to fight, I can't shoot with a bow and arrow, I have to use a steel fork to do it, and now that Xiang Bo is old, he doesn't dare to touch it." Zhou Qingyun said in a muffled voice, and then asked again: "Can the catfish and eggplant stew together be so fragrant?" ”

"Of course not." Juda replied.

Vegetables are not worth a few dollars in Baibao Village, every household grows some by themselves, Zhu Da's family planted eggplant, eggplant cut into sections, catfish cut into sections, washed and cleaned up, and then add green onions, ginger, garlic and soy sauce to simmer, a few drops of wine and vinegar to remove the fish.

This catfish itself is oily, autumn is the fattest time, this material does not need to put oil, as long as it is simmered in a pot, the fat of the catfish is slowly stewed out, as for the eggplant added here, it is not so much to add flavor, but to use the oil and water of the catfish to make the eggplant more delicious, this method does not require too many skills, soy sauce and ingredients are put in, and wait until the juice is collected.

When it came out of the pot, the whole family, including Zhu Da himself, couldn't help but swallow their saliva, the red and bright catfish segments, the oily eggplant, plus the thick juice, not to mention the rich sauce aroma, which made everyone have a great appetite.

"Watch out for the fish bones." Zhu Da reminded him, Zhou Qingyun had already picked up the cake and started eating, his eyes lit up after the first bite, and he said vaguely while eating: "It's better than meat, it's better than meat." ”

This pot of catfish stewed eggplant, everyone can get a few pieces, but Zhu Da's parents stopped after eating a few bites, dipped in the soup and finished the dry food, and then said with a smile: "I haven't eaten oil at home for a long time, and if I eat too much, I will have stomach trouble, so I will eat it slowly tomorrow." ”

Zhu Da understood his parents' intentions, and said with a smile: "You don't have to keep it for me, I can still catch fish tomorrow." ”

"I'm going to come to eat tomorrow, I'll bring my own food and condiments, and I'll teach you how to practice martial arts." Zhou Qingyun didn't miss any opportunity, and said vaguely.

Although the villagers are in the township, no one's food is rich, not to mention that Zhou Qingyun is the most edible half-grown child, when they heard that Zhou Qingyun came to dinner, Zhu Da's parents' faces immediately did not look good, and they reluctantly agreed when they knew that the other party brought their own food.

Hearing Zhou Qingyun say that he wanted to teach Zhu Da to practice martial arts, his father Zhu Shishi subconsciously wanted to stop him, but he looked at his wife, and saw helplessness from the other party's expression, so he didn't speak.

The autumn harvest and drying grain are coming to an end, Baibao Village here is everyone to send the grain to Li Zongqi first, and then use the cart to send it to the old man's house, every family in the village is busy with this, although the fragrance of the Zhu family's food yesterday attracted a lot of people, but after hearing the "wild boar", there is no one to ask the bottom line, who doesn't know that the pork is delicious, as for the wild boar, everyone has not eaten, but it can also be imagined.

Then again, Baibao Village subconsciously retreated from matters involving Xiang Yue Xiang's family, you know, even Li Zongqi was respectful of this old man, and Xiang Yue was a martial artist with a knife and a bow, so everyone was naturally afraid, and they dispersed when they heard it.

But early this morning, Zhou Qingyun was already waiting outside the door of Zhu's house, and actually brought a piece of dried meat and a few pieces of cake, so he must eat the leftover catfish stewed eggplant with the Zhu family last night.

"Our Xiaoda has been lonely since he was a child, and it's good to have a playmate." Before going out, the parents of the Zhu family reluctantly admitted this matter, according to what they thought, they were all half-grown children who were about the same age, even if they said that they wanted to teach martial arts, it must be nonsense.

After eating breakfast and accompanying Zhu Da to clean up, Zhou Qingyun was about to drag Zhu Da to the river to see if there were any fish in the puddle, and said with a big grin: "Before Xiang Bo comes back, I will start a gang at your house!" ”

"Can you really teach me martial arts?" Zhu Da stared at this topic, that Xiang Yue Xiang was unwilling to teach the old man, but this Zhou Qingyun must have learned real skills, and it would be good to learn a few hands from him.

"Call me a master and I'll teach you!"

"Do you still want to eat fish?"

In this negotiation, Zhou Qingyun was completely inferior, and just said with a smile: "I can teach you knife skills, but you can't teach archery and big guns, Xiang Bo said that sword skills are not valuable." ”

Zhu Da naturally doesn't have any opinions, it's good to be able to learn, he has no room to pick and choose, not to mention that it's only been a few days, and in the long run, he still has to learn skills from Xiang Bo.

promised to teach, Zhou Qingyun didn't hide his secrets, the two went directly to the courtyard of Xiang's house, Zhou Qingyun picked up a short stick of nearly four feet, which was about the length of Yanling's knife, but he held it in his hand a little out of proportion.

"Xiang Bo said, this set of knife techniques is called Luohan knife, there are six styles, it is a common knife technique in the Datong official army, I will practice it for you." When Zhou Qingyun picked up this short stick, the shapeless foodie looked gone, and he was very serious.

The name of this "Luohan Knife" is very bluffing, but in the past 20 years, Zhu Da has heard thousands of martial arts names, and he thinks that it is ordinary, the six-style movements are very simple, Zhou Qingyun will soon finish the demonstration, Zhu Da stared at Zhou Qingyun and asked, "That's it?" You didn't lie to me? ”

The martial arts that Zhu Dana has seen for more than 20 years are divided into performance and actual combat, and it is needless to say that the performance class is as fancy as a dance, and the actual combat class is not so simple, these six styles are almost the same as those basic movements, and the appearance of the Luohan knife is too simple.

His question made Zhou Qingyun's face very ugly, originally Zhou Qingyun thought that Zhu Da would be surprised and even praise two words, but he didn't think about it but was questioned, and immediately said angrily: "That's what Uncle Xiang taught me, I lied to you to do something, do you want to learn, forget it if you don't learn!" ”

"It's just talking, I heard the storyteller say that those martial arts have a lot of tricks, so I don't think it's right, of course I have to learn!" Zhu Da made a decision without hesitation, he didn't expect to meet any hidden strong opponents in the village, it was not a life, but a legend, Xiang Bo was a veteran at most, and it was normal to know not much martial arts, and some learned it first.

Zhu Da asked Zhou Qingyun to repeat it twice, and then took the wooden stick and began to do it, the reason why he learned it twice is because the action is too simple, splitting, stabbing, cutting, blocking, and then adding changes in pace and direction, make up six styles, but how to compare and feel that this is a random action, even if people who don't understand martial arts pick up a knife, they will do it, but when they see Zhou Qingyun's serious appearance, they know that this is definitely not a lie.

learned the so-called "Luohan Knife Six Styles", and the two of them ran to the river again, in the past, when Zhu Da went to the river, there were always people who watched the excitement and gossip, but with Zhou Qingyun, everyone became a whisper, Zhu Da didn't think it was a bad thing, everyone stayed away, at least the secret of fishing could be kept for a while longer.

There are two fish in the puddle, seeing this harvest, Zhou Qingyun shouted in surprise, but Zhu Da knew that he had to dig a pit in a different position, this fishing method is not a small ingredient of luck, that is, there are many fish in this Xiami River, but it is not appropriate to always wait for rabbits in one position.

Zhu Da took Zhou Qingyun upstream and downstream and walked dozens of steps, and then selected a place to start digging a pit and arranging it, before doing this, seeing that Zhu Da did not shy away from himself at all, Zhou Qingyun himself was puzzled, and asked in surprise: "Do you want me to dodge, and come back when you are done." ”

If it was yesterday, Zhou Qingyun might not have said this, but after three meals and teaching martial arts, they are already friends with each other, and Zhou Qingyun himself may not feel this change clearly, but Zhu Da understands that the other party knows that this is his means of making money, and he knows how to avoid it.

"The two of us are our own people, you have taught me martial arts, I am not afraid of you!" Zhu Da said generously, he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he said this, although he did think so, but after all, he used some means, in order to make friends with a teenager, he was really ashamed to be like this.

When Zhou Qingyun heard his words, he was stunned at first, and then showed a more solemn look than when he was performing martial arts, nodded and said solemnly: "Others think that I am unlucky without a father or mother, you treat me as my own person, then we are our own people!" ”

Friendship and friendship can't be deepened and consolidated by these few meals and two little things, but this is a good start, even if Zhu Da is ashamed of his purpose, but he is also in a happy mood, and he has been feeling lonely since he woke up, and now he finally has a friend to talk to.

Then there was not much to say, but the distance between the two sides was shortened a lot, and they began to dig the fishing pit with a smile, Zhu Da did not hide the slightest secret, Zhou Qingyun studied very carefully, dug a puddle, and after arranging it, the two of them straightened up and hurriedly went ashore to dry and warm up, but after a few activities, they all stopped, both of them were attracted by the northern sky, and there was smoke rising over there, although it was far away, but it was very clear.
