Chapter 289: Equal Beings
(Cat flutter Chinese) Whether it is wild animals in the mountains or fresh fish in the water, under the regulation of the eight characters left by the ancestors, the sky does not know how many Yiyin, Yiya, Shan Zu, Fanzheng and other famous chefs can make the same ingredient a thousand tastes. But if you really want to pay attention to eating the original taste, you have to count the farmer's food and the most authentic rural slurry.
Just like the dishes placed on the table in the main house when the lamp was in the courtyard of Uncle Ye, a pot of grouse stewed with snow flowers and mushrooms was full of fragrance, although it was only sprinkled with salt flowers to taste, but the taste had already surpassed the imperial meal in the palace.
A bowl of newly sprouted sprouts in the forest is scalded with boiling water, and then mixed with some authentic Shanxi old vinegar, and the crisp and sour energy is not changed for the county master.
Twenty or so bird eggs of various colors picked from the grass and shrubs are mixed with early-growing wild onions by the stream, and soybean oil is fried in the soybean oil that has recently been exchanged from the oil mill outside the mountain.
There is also a jar of pine nut wine that Uncle Ye has buried under the pine tree for five years, and there is no need to take the wine plug and boil it in the water, but when it is poured into the bowl, it is fragrant.
Waiting for Uncle Ye and Xiang Youbao to move the chopsticks first, carefully holding a coarse porcelain bowl and taking a sip of fragrant and warm pine nut wine, and then holding a chopsticks with sour buds, the nine monkeys sighed very satisfied: "If you can eat such a meal when you see the sky, it will really be a fairy life!" ”
Staring at the nine monkeys with some disgust, Xiang Youbao held the wine bowl in both hands and raised it slightly towards Uncle Ye, and said to Uncle Ye respectfully: "Uncle Ye, I borrow flowers here to offer Buddha, and I will give you a bowl of wine!" ”
Very boldly drank all the wine in the bowl, and Uncle Ye smiled and said to Xiang Youbao, who also drank a bowl of wine: "They are all their own family, and there is no size on the wine table." Let's all be at ease now, and we all hold the rules to restrain ourselves. These days, we are not idle, today is a time to relax, let's treat ourselves! ”
Gong Sheng agreed to Uncle Ye's words, and Xiang Youbao still saluted Uncle Ye three bowls of wine according to the rules that the juniors should keep at the wine table. Only then did he say to the old Uncle Ye, who was already flushed with alcohol: "Old Uncle Ye, the truth of the training thing you told me today, I have been thinking about the meaning of your words in my heart, but I haven't thought about it clearly?" If the relationship between this person and the thing is not the relationship between master and servant, what else can it be? ”
Stretching out his hand to stroke his snow-white beard, Old Uncle Ye pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the wild things raised in the fence wall outside the yard, and then swept his arm towards the dark mountain forest outside the door, and said to Xiangyou Leopard: "There is a leopard." Look at all the wild things I have picked up, and the things that live in the mountains and forests, what is the most important thing? ”
Without thinking, he pointed to the two listless walking dogs lying on the ground, and the leopard replied: "Naturally, these are these two walking dogs!" With these two things by your side, this can be on top of the two years of Orion! ”
Laughing noncommittally, Old Uncle Ye said with a smile: "Then if there is no thing I want to get back, can I still call these two walking dogs?" ”
Didn't wait for a leopard to answer. The nine monkeys, who had already quietly drunk half a bowl of pine nut wine, had already snatched away the words with red faces: "I know this - all the birds, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking!" If only Uncle Ye didn't hunt anymore. These two walking dogs can only lead and play by your side, and have a happy smile when you are idle, and there is no use for them anymore! ”
stretched out his legs and kicked the nine monkeys under the table, Xiang Youbao blinked his eyes a few times, and looked at Uncle Ye who only spoke half of his words in silence.
Gently took a sip of the pine nut wine that the nine monkeys rushed to pour, and Uncle Ye reached out and stroked his snow-white beard, and then dipped his fingers in the wine. Lightly drew a small circle on the table: "There is a leopard, I have been in the forest for half my life, and I can't count the knowledge on the side, but I have seen all kinds of wild things in this forest." I wondered...... This forest of wild things, trees and flowers. Everyone has to have their own use, and no one can live without anyone? It's like such a circle, going back and forth, repeatedly, and no one knows where the head is and where the tail is, who is in charge and which is following. It's hard to choose one of these objects......"
Listening to Uncle Ye's words as if he was a little drunk, the nine monkeys who were also drunk with the sweet, but actually cold pine nut wine were five points drunk, and suddenly laughed and picked up Uncle Ye's words: "Uncle Ye, what you said, why don't I understand what I heard?" It's like the black panther we picked up, as long as it can catch live creatures to eat, then there are more or fewer insects in this mountain, but it won't touch it at all? ”
Seeing that there was a leopard with some disgust, he reached out and slapped the back of the head of the nine monkeys, but Uncle Ye laughed and picked up the wine bowl again: "Speaking of this wild thing in the mountains, tigers swallowing leopards, leopards hunting sheep, and sheep eating grass are all reasons for people to see in their eyes, but it is really not unusual." But this tiger and leopard and other fierce beasts have to pull and scatter after eating and drinking, which feeds the grass and trees in the forest, but it is a thing that people don't care about in their eyes! Pick out the meaning of this chariot and say, that is, there is no nobility in the world, and yin and yang have a way from reincarnation! ”
He muttered the two words of Uncle Ye several times, and Xiang Youbao thoughtfully brought the wine bowl to his mouth, but he didn't drink a sip of clear pine nut wine for a long time, but sat on the table like an old monk settled.
It seemed to know that Xiang Youbao was pondering the reason in his head, and the nine monkeys, who were originally five points drunk, suddenly closed their mouths, blinked a pair of eyes and stared at Xiang Youbao's face, and the chopsticks in their hands were also gently rested on the table, not daring to make any extra movement at all.
Squinting his eyes and looking at the pensive appearance of the leopard, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of Old Uncle Ye's mouth. Waving the chopsticks in his hand, Uncle Ye tasted all the dishes on the table again, and then took a slow sip with the wine bowl.
For a moment, there was almost no movement in the whole room, except for the occasional pleasant exclamation of Uncle Ye sipping pine nut wine, and the subtle crisp sound of pine light burning to illuminate it.
I don't know how long it has been. Xiang Youbao, who had been sitting stiffly at the table with a wine bowl, drank the pine nut wine in the wine bowl in one gulp, stood up neatly, bypassed the table blocking him, and strode to the animal cage in the courtyard.
Slowly squatting down, Xiang Youbao stared closely at the black panther who looked wilted in the cage, and slowly stretched out a slap through the fence on the cage. It lightly rested on the black panther's forehead with a cruciform scar that had not been able to take its mouth for more than ten days.
It seemed that he was completely unaware of the careful touch of the leopard, and the black panther in the cage still looked listless, and he didn't even bother to shake the tip of his tail. But if you look closely in the dim moonlight, you can see that the two front paws of the black panther are slightly stronger, and several sharp claws are faintly protruding from the forepaws like meat pads!
Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the two front paws of the black panther in the beast cage, and the leopard suddenly withdrew his slap, stood up and returned to the dining table in the main room, and said to Uncle Ye, who was looking at him with a smile...... What can .......?"
didn't wait for the leopard to finish speaking. Old Uncle Ye had already raised his finger and pointed to a small gourd hanging on the wall behind the door of the house: "After washing the wound, apply a thin layer of it, and a bowl of tea can stop the pain and bleeding." If the wound is not too deep, it can be sealed in three or five days! ”
After thanking Uncle Ye, Xiang Youbao picked off the small medicine gourd hanging on the wall, and shouted to the nine monkeys who were staring at him in a daze: "Wait outside the door with firecrackers!" As long as that thing doesn't move, you don't move. But if that thing in the cage is not honest, you can see that when we shrink our hands, the firecrackers will go off immediately! ”
Eyes lit up. The nine monkeys quickly jumped up from the chair: "Slap and give a sweet date?" This trick is suitable for children, but it can deal with such a thing that drinks blood and eats meat. Does it work? ”
Pinching the small medicine gourd in his hand, Xiang Youbao also hesitated for a moment as if he was a little unsure of his idea, and then said to the nine monkeys: "This method is what I just figured out. Although this leopard has a much more twisted temper than a bear, he is also much fiercer. But....... If it doesn't work out, let's try it! Even if it doesn't work out in the end, then the wound on this thing's brain must be healed first! ”
Seeing Xiang Youbao and the Nine Monkeys walking out of the main house with their own household belongings, Old Uncle Ye slowly paced to the door of the house with half a bowl of pine nut wine, and watched Xiang Youbao from a distance and first took a bucket of water and a clean linen cloth. Dipping it in water, he slowly stretched out towards the wound on the black panther's head.
Xu was frightened by the endless splashing of water that Xiangyou Leopard had broken his courage these days, and only then did he hear the sound of water when Xiang Youbao dipped his sackcloth in water, and the black panther had already stood up in the cage and stared at the bucket resting beside Xiang Youbao.
Slowing down as much as possible, the leopard stared into the eyes of the black panther, slowly stretched the sackcloth in his hand into the fence of the animal cage, and gently wiped the crucifer wound on the black panther's forehead.
It is estimated that it was because the cold water was stinging the wound, and before the leopard could wipe the crucifer wound a few times, the black panther in the beast cage had already snorted, and grabbed the leopard's arm with a sudden wave of his claws. If it weren't for the fact that the beast cage was really small and restricted the panther's movements, I am afraid that there would be several deep bloody cuts on the leopard's suddenly retracted arm?!
As soon as he saw that there was a leopard's arm retracted, the nine monkeys found the firecracker in their hands and immediately lit it and threw it behind the beast cage. With the sound of firecrackers, the black panther with its teeth and claws suddenly collided in all directions in the beast cage.
Squatting a foot in front of the cage, the leopard silently waited for the black panther in the cage to quiet down again, and then repeated Fang Cai's action, and once again slowly stretched the linen cloth dipped in water towards the cage...... (To be continued.) Cat flutter Chinese
