The old house of Li Xiu's family by the Huangqu River, here is the first home after Li Xiu crossed, and later Yi Niang also lived here for a period of time, and when the two of them officially got married, this old house was changed into a roasted tea workshop, at most hundreds of people roasted tea in the workshop, but roasted tea needs to use fire, and the air polluted by smoke and fire every day is not far from here, so later with the expansion of the roasted tea workshop, he simply moved the roasted tea workshop to another place, and it was idle here.

Behind Li Xiu's old house was originally a dense bamboo forest, after the old house was uninhabited, the bamboo forest has been expanding outward, as a result, the old house is overgrown with bamboo, even the original road is gone, every night, the wind through the bamboo forest "rustle", coupled with the uninhabited old house, it is simply an excellent place to shoot ghost movies.

However, this morning, Li Xiu did not go to the financial supervision office, but sneaked through the bamboo forest and came to his old house, which is the front yard of the old house, and the ground is paved with floor tiles, so there is not too much bamboo, and someone has cleaned it up in advance, making it a vacant land in the bamboo forest.

"Why did you just come here, hurry up and help!" As soon as Li Xiu came here, he saw an old man with gray hair shouting loudly, it was Ma Ye who he hadn't seen for a long time, speaking of which, Li Xiu had been busy with financial supervision during this time, and even his children rarely saw him, let alone Ma Ye.

"Uncle Ma, isn't it good for you to do this, if the county lord finds out, I will also be implicated!" Li Xiu looked at Ma Ye with an embarrassed face at this time and said, according to the original history, Ma Ye should have died a long time ago, but because of the influence of Li Xiu's crossing, although Ma Ye had suffered a serious illness before, he survived, but Ma Ye is indeed old, not only his hair and beard are half white, but there are also many wrinkles on his face, and even his eyes are not as sharp as before.

"I asked you to cook so much, hurry up and help kill the sheep, I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and I'm almost hungry!" Although Ma Ye is old, his temper still does not change, and he reprimanded with a glaring of eyes at the moment.

Ma Ye has retired from Feinusi this year, although Li Shimin was not ready to release people at first, but there was something wrong with Ma Ye's body this year, Sun Simiao said that Ma Ye's liver was not very good after reading it, mainly because there was no moderation in the diet before, especially drinking too much, which led to liver problems.

It was precisely because of the liver problem that Ma Ye asked Li Shimin to resign again, and Li Shimin had no reason to refuse, so he had to arrange someone to take over Ma Ye's position. However, after Ma Ye went home to recuperate, he found a problem, that is, the county lord of Guanghua was afraid that his condition would worsen, so he was very strict with him in terms of diet, and he didn't want to drink wine anymore, and he couldn't even eat meat, and the most he ate every day was fruits and vegetables, because this was what Sun Simiao had told him.

Ma Ye is a military general, and his favorite thing is to drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl, and now the wine is not allowed to drink, and the meat is not allowed to be eaten, which is even more uncomfortable than killing him, but he has a deep relationship with the county lord of Guanghua, and he really can't quarrel because of this little thing, so Ma Ye thought of a way, that is, to steal food, this is the real stealing of food, not the extended meaning.

During this time, the bank slowly got on the right track, even if there was a problem, there was Xu Jingzong staring, and the matter of the Money Minting Bureau did not have to worry about Li Xiu, Liu Renliang could handle it himself, so he did not go to the financial supervision in the past two days, but after Ma Ye knew, he asked him to come out to fish yesterday, of course, nominally fishing, but in fact he secretly ran here to eat meat, the reason why he was called Li Xiu is, of course, because Li Xiu has good cooking skills, and the things he makes are much more delicious than what Ma Ye himself cooks.

There is a lamb tied to the open space, and I don't know where Ma Ye got it? There are cooking utensils, seasonings, etc. next to him, Ma Ye is now stepping on the sheep with one foot, holding a knife in one hand and preparing to kill the sheep, seeing Li Xiu coming in, he immediately beckoned him to come up to help, although Li Xiu was afraid of the blame of the Guanghua County Lord, but he came to come, and Ma Ye's temper He also knew that it was useless for anyone to persuade except the Guanghua County Lord, so he could only step forward to help, not to mention that he still had something to ask Ma Ye to help.

At that moment, Li Xiu stepped forward and held down the sheep's head, and then Ma Ye stabbed the sheep's neck, and the dark red sheep's blood flowed into the basin below, and the small lamb twitched a few times and then did not move, and then Ma Ye hung the sheep up, and then disemboweled, broke the belly, and skinned it in one go, and after a while, a lamb was cleaned up by him.

It is said that it is lamb, but it has been raised for at least three months, almost enough for Li Xiu and Ma Ye to eat, and at that moment Li Xiu also rolled up his sleeves and started in person, cut off the two hind legs and grilled them on the fire, and chopped the remaining mutton into small pieces, all of them were thrown into the pot and cooked over low heat, and the seasoning was also thrown in, and after the water boiled, the foam on it was skimmed off, and after a while, the pot exuded an attractive aroma.

The lamb meat is tender, and it is relatively well cooked, the lamb roasted on the fire is the first to be cooked after being seasoned, Ma Ye took off the leg of mutton and put it on a large plate, picked up the silver knife and cut a piece for himself first, stuffed it into his mouth but was burned and inhaled, it took a long time to swallow it, and then he stretched out his thumb to Li Xiu and said: "Yes, this is the taste, it seems that your cooking skills have not regressed at all, and it is much stronger than what I do!" ”

Li Xiu wasn't hungry, but the things he made did taste very fragrant, and he couldn't help but taste a few more bites at the moment, and then he smiled and said: "The mutton is dry, Uncle Ma, your health is not good, so it's better to eat less!" ”

"I almost heard these words at home, what mutton is dry, pork is cold, whether it is dry or cold, I can't eat it, but you find me a meat that I can eat?" When Ma Ye heard Li Xiu say these disappointing words again, he couldn't help but glance at him at the moment and said, he finally came out to steal a meal of meat, he didn't want to listen to Li Xiu's preaching.

"This ......" Li Xiu could only smile helplessly when he heard this, in fact, he had already discovered that after Ma Ye did not fight, the amount of food did not decrease, and as a result, his body also gained a lot of blessings, and he usually did not taboo it, which made the liver a little overwhelmed, so it made sense for Sun Simiao to let him eat lightly, eating too much meat would increase the burden on the liver, and it would naturally not be good for Ma Ye's body.

"Okay, I don't eat it every day, the last time I ate meat was a month ago, and now it's okay to eat it once in a while, so let's not talk about these uninteresting words!" Ma Ye also knew that Li Xiu had good intentions, and spoke again at the moment.

"Well, I really have one thing I want Uncle Ma to help you with!" When Li Xiu heard Ma Ye say this, he no longer dwelled on this matter at the moment, but began to get to the point.
