Chapter 298: Something Strange (I)
As soon as the days of October arrive, the owners who like to play with birds in the city have to pack up the bird nets and sticky poles, and go to the mountains and forests in the suburbs of Beijing to touch the birds that fly to the south for the winter.
What yellow finch, thrush, beautiful eyes, larks, red sons, old Xi'er, flocks, pieces are looking for the forest to rest and forage for food when it is almost dark. As long as you use the right bird nets and sticky rods, and choose the boundaries and docks, you can catch 200 small birds of all colors and bring them home.
The birds that were selected from the caught birds were particularly provocative and sent to the bird cage, and the other bird dealers who naturally came to the old official garden came to collect them. At this time, close the door and carefully train the things left behind to train the first half of the moon, and it should be the day of the beginning of November when 700 birds worship the phoenix and worship the phoenix - according to the Tang book recorded by Li Fang in the Song Dynasty in the "Taiping Yulan", there is a phoenix on the seventh day of the first month of November, and hundreds of birds fly to Cangwu Mountain!
Regardless of the cloudy and sunny weather on this day, players in Sijiu City who like to play with birds have to take their proud gadgets to a bright flat ground behind the Laoguan Garden on this day, holding cages to show their loves, and let players from all walks of life in Sijiu City appreciate and appreciate them. There is a special outstanding, and in the next year, in the next year, players who like to play birds in Sijiu City can have a face, and their voices can be a few points higher when they see each other.
In the early years, as far as it came to this little October, the entrance of the Huozheng Gate has always been a door, and players from all walks of life who like to play birds in Sijiu City almost all have to ask to come to the main gate of the fire, or ask the master who is good at catching birds in the main gate of the fire to find a few things for himself, or look forward to having a veteran who knows how to adjust the method to understand the love of things in his heart can understand human nature, that scene is really lively.
But this year, I saw that there was just a fire in the main gate. There are also people who hurt their lives in the fire, but I am really embarrassed to ask someone to do something at this juncture, and secondly, it is also a chaos, and many players who play birds in Sijiu City also call this chaotic world to disturb the mind of having no fun, and they can't even mention the excitement that only has when they have nothing to do, but the front of the hall gate where the main gate of the fire is rebuilt is really deserted for a few days.
But before waiting, those players who still play birds in Sijiu City sighed that this year, hundreds of birds worship the phoenix, but I am afraid that the prosperity is no longer there. But I don't know where to hit a wave of evil wind, saying that there are a few foreign businessmen in Sijiu City, and it is fun to have a rare bird spirit finch on weekdays, and I heard that there is a scene of a hundred birds worshipping the phoenix in Sijiu City every year, and there are more than a dozen rare rare birds from the splendid area of the south of the Yangtze River, waiting to compare with the experts who play birds in Sijiu City!
The master who lives in the city of Sijiu, resting at the feet of the Son of Heaven and the roots of the imperial city, has seen it, and he is really modest and calm in dealing with people and things on weekdays, and he is graceful and moderate. But there's one thing wrong - I can't see anyone sitting in front of me as a big-tailed wolf!
This news has just come out in Sijiu City, and before anyone has carefully pondered the origin of this news, how true or false it is, several players who are playing birds in Sijiu City have already put down their words after tea and wine-Zuo is just a few southern barbarians who have just come to Sijiu City, and they can't tell which poor country they are touching around, so they dare to put it in front of the players in Sijiu City?
- These Southern Barbarians, shouldn't they be fried liver? (Note 1)
It is said that there are three fast in the world, human words, red rabbits, and downwind boats. The main protagonists who spoke had not yet looked at each other, but the words spoken by these two groups of people made people spread in Sijiu City. It's just three or two days of work. The front of the main gate of the fire has become crowded again, and all the people who come in and out are famous and surnamed birds in Sijiu City!
Although my heart still seems to be pressed against a heavy stone. In the middle of the night, a nameless fire in the brain often burned his fists and couldn't sleep, but in the face of the parents who came to the door, Xiang Youbao and Na Jiuye and others could only greet each other with a smile and take care of each other.
Just sent away a few patrons who came to the door to beg for things, and before they could wait for Youbao and Na Jiuye to return to the courtyard and sit down to drink saliva, the nine monkeys who were guarding the door to welcome the guests were already shouting in a loud voice: "There are distinguished guests - Yu Ye, Yu Boss, please come in!" ”
Look at each other. Na Jiu Ye and Xiang Youbao almost showed a wry smile in unison, and turned their heads to greet the patron who swaggered into the lobby. Before the person arrived, Na Jiu Ye had already bowed his hand again and again, and greeted the half-bald, fat middle-aged man with a bright voice: "Yu Ye, you are really a rare guest."
With a big grin, the fat man known as Yu Ye unceremoniously interrupted Na Jiuye's greeting: "Na Jiuye." You and I are polite to Yu Xiaoli, and Ma Yuer asked someone to serve some tea and snacks. I rushed to the main entrance of your fire early in the morning, and I forgot to eat breakfast, and I was really hungry at this time! ”
Raising his eyes and looking at the sun that had risen high outside the window, Na Jiuye grinned helplessly, but he still politely invited Yu Xiaoli to sit on the newly added Taishi chair in the lobby, and then asked a few little apprentices to give Yu Xiaoli some tea and snacks for hospitality, and silently watched Yu Xiaoli gobble up food and drink as if he hadn't eaten for several days.
Resting in Sijiu City, but whoever knows the master of Yu Xiaoli's character, all have to pick a thumb brother in front of people, and praise Yu Xiaoli Yu is good at management and communication, and more than ten years of hard work has made a small oil mill in the suburbs of Beijing into a few businesses in Sijiu City.
But in private, the big guys haven't forgotten a strange thing that Yu Xiaoli did before he made his career
However, all the oil mills in the suburbs of Beijing that extract oil, when they have their first barrel of oil every year, they have to invite their neighbors who are close to the left and neighbors to have an oily meal. First, I thanked the neighbors for helping them when they were busy with the oil mill, and secondly, I apologized for disturbing the people with a loud noise when the oil mill was pressing. The big guy is a group of harmony, which can make money and make money.
But this is located in Xiaoli Boss Yu is also a rare character, but whenever there is an oil mill next to it to invite the neighbors around him to eat that oil and water meal, Boss Yu has always been uninvited. Pick up a basin the size of the sea and fill a bowl of oil, water and rice, and eat and drink clean with soup and water.
There is a way that peers are enemies, and I saw Boss Yu unceremoniously come to eat this oily rice. There was the owner of the oil mill who deliberately added a spoonful of raw oil to the boss's bowl, and the unsuspecting boss Yu ate unstable backyard, and the crotch of his pants was soaked in the raw oil that broke out of the door, and the neighbors who saw this scene were passed on as a joke for several years.
It's strange to say, but any oil extraction workshop that asks Boss Yu to eat this oil and water meal will definitely close within three years. There are those more delicate characters who are carefully pondered. Only then did I understand that every time the boss went back to eat that oil and water meal, it seemed that he was greedy and cheap, but in fact, he tasted the benefits of the oil squeezed out of the oil mill of others, and then turned back and let his oil mill master learn from the advantages of others to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and to extract the essence from the rough, how fast and easy the oil extraction in the boss's oil mill is naturally how fast and economical, cheap and good, it is no wonder that the boss can make a small oil mill to today's scene? !
Although Boss Pei Yu's business is quite big now, I don't know if it is a problem when he does small business, and whenever he goes to negotiate with someone to negotiate some business transactions, he always has to eat on an empty stomach. Don't open your mouth until you've eaten and drunk enough!
Seeing that Yu Xiaoli ate and drank the tea and snacks sent by the little apprentice, Na Jiuye, who had already known Yu Xiaoli's habit, arched his hand towards Yu Xiaoli, who was satisfied: "Yu Ye, you come to my Huozheng Gate today, do you have any advice?" ”
Reaching out and dusting off the dim sum scum that fell on the placket of his clothes, Yu Xiaoli burped hard, and then lazily stretched his waist on the Taishi chair, and smiled slowly at Na Jiuye: "Na Jiuye, I have arrived at your hall." Naturally, it requires you to touch something, is it difficult to ask you to sell oil? ”
Seeing Na Jiu Ye give him a look. Xiang Youbao immediately smiled at Yu Xiaoli, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, with a smiling face: "Yu Ye, are you really joking with us here?" But take a look around the city, but whoever is playing with birds, who doesn't know that Yu Ye is the top character every year on the day when the birds worship the phoenix? Where can you still be guilty of stepping into our name? ”
Waving his hand listlessly, Yu Xiaoli frowned and whispered to Xiang Youbao: "This year is different from previous years!" I got it here, and as the old saying goes, if you are sick, you don't hide it. If you have sores and don't avoid your wife, I'll tell you the truth! The few things I left behind this year, one of them was not careful, and I was stunned to call a plagued black cat to the scourge! Now I have a thing in my hand that I can take out and show my face in front of people, and I can't even take out a raw melon egg! ”
looked at Yu Xiaoli in disbelief. Na Jiu Ye couldn't help but ask, "Yu Ye, are you serious about this?" If you want to talk about the characters who play with birds in Sijiu City, you can really be regarded as the number one character, and the house with gadgets should also be able to prevent cats and mice and avoid small dragons, how can you call a black cat to harm your precious things? And it's all a scourge?! ”
Stretched out his hand and slapped him on the knee, and Yu Xiaoli, who slapped himself so hard that his knee hurt, grinned and shouted at Na Jiuye: "Who said it wasn't?!" I thought the black cat was a monster - I just opened the door less than a palm's width and the black cat swooped into my bird's house. Before I could understand what was going on, the black cat flew down the cabinet against the wall to the beam, and bounced on the birdcage and showed its paws."
As if he was afraid that Na Jiu Ye and Xiang Youbao would not believe what he said, Yu Xiaoli stretched his stubby neck with great effort, twisted his body and showed a few deep scars on the back of his neck in front of Na Jiu Ye and Xiang Youbao: "You two take a look?" I'm a desperate guy to pounce on the black cat, but the evil obstacle is not afraid of people at all, and it will lay down its claws when it hits me" (to be continued......)
PS: Note 1: Beijing's famous snack fried liver is derived from another food called Baishui offal, and the ingredients are heart, liver, intestines, and lungs. Legend has it that after the Empress Dowager Cixi tasted the white water chop enshrined in the Xianju of the Beijing Society, she felt that the snack was delicious, but she did not like its center and lungs. The shopkeeper of Huixian Juzhong thus improved the white water chop snack, removed its center and lungs, and retained the liver and intestines to change the cooking method, thus creating the famous snack fried liver. The old Peking people have scolding witticisms that come from this - why are you like fried liver, heartless?!
