It rained several times in succession, and the weather became colder and colder day by day.

In Sijiu City, those who hoard Chinese cabbage at home with a big cart, make pickles from old jars, invite people to pick up the old kang that is no longer warm, and then plate a new kang for the winter, coupled with the sound of the bowstring playing the old cotton sleeve that resounded everywhere in the streets and alleys, all of which have made people understand that winter is coming.

In addition to Hu Qianli, he also had to take care of some family members and old houses, and went home every now and then, up to the head of the house, Na Jiuye, and down to the newly accepted little apprentices, almost all of whom ate and lived in the house at the entrance of the main gate of the fire. Seeing that winter was coming, Xiang Youbao led a group of little apprentices to sweep the cellar dug early in the courtyard, and dragged a few rack cars to pull the winter cabbage into the entrance of the main gate of the fire.

Outside the room, the daughter-in-law of the Xie Men Shen family and Nalan led a few more careful girls to open a long list of large boards, carefully cut the vegetable gnocchi into shreds, and then took the salty salt and pepper powder and sprinkled them layer by layer, pickling more than a dozen large pots of pickles.

Stick noodles, coarse black noodles, and all kinds of miscellaneous grains were stacked into the warehouse in the second courtyard. I don't know what Hu Qianli used, that is, a few bamboo tubes filled with half a potion were placed in the four corners of the warehouse, and several rat holes in the warehouse immediately exploded the camp, and a string of rats ran out in a bunch, but called a few little apprentices who had never seen this scene and screamed in fright!

Holding a tea bowl, Na Jiuye, who was standing in the courtyard of Erjin, looked at the lively scene in front of him, sucked the hot tea with satisfaction, and only after a long time did he nag to Xie Menshen who was standing beside him: "I haven't seen this meeting for many years."

Holding his son who was still babbling in his arms, Xie Menshen also nodded again and again with a satisfied look.

From the grass hut under the city wall to the house at the entrance of the main gate of the fire to live, there are tiles to protect from the rain and a kang to warm up, which is almost a comfortable feeling of stepping into the sky. The daughter-in-law, who is so sick that she has only one breath left, also has money to treat her illness and buy medicine, and her body and bones are getting better day by day. The six children had chewed in their mouths, warm clothes on their bodies, and a little blush on their sallow little faces

In this life, if you can live such a life every day, then what else do you ask for?

Pushing a rack car loaded with a few sacks of fine sand and dry wheat straw, the two brothers She Youdao and She Youlu steadily put the rack car in the courtyard of the second entrance, and walked towards Na Jiuye one after another, and greeted Na Jiuye is voice full of spirit and shouted: "Senior brother, the sand and wheat straw of this mat snake nest have been brought back, and the water and gas are spread out in the second half of the day, and the snake nest will be spread out at night?" ”

Seeing that the two sensible little apprentices brought tea to the She family brothers, Na Jiuye nodded with satisfaction: "You have your own ideas about this matter, and you can still ask me?" Looking at the weather, it's almost time for you to pick a new gadget to match, right? ”

After drinking all the tea in one go, She Youdao nodded quickly: "I have made an appointment with a few veterans in Lao Guanyuan, and I will pick out new things to match in the second half of the morning!" I said, brother, this is the matter."

Turning his head to glance at Xiang Youbao, who was sending the little apprentices to pretend to be in the cabbage cellar, She Youdao lowered his voice slightly: "Senior brother, according to the old rules, this work should not be mixed up by others." But I wondered, if I kept this job a secret, it wouldn't be like that? ”

also glanced at Xiang Youbao, who was sweating profusely, Na Jiuye quietly said to She Youdao: "Then what are your two plans?" ”

Glancing at each other, the two brothers of the She family hesitated for a moment, but it was still She Youdao who opened his mouth and said to Na Jiuye: "Senior brother, I said something too much, you should feel that it is wrong when you hear it, you can bear with me!" I'm just pondering, the craftsmanship in our fire main gate has always been a trick and eaten all over the world, even for the same disciples, sometimes there are some hidden pies! Senior brother, do you think this is appropriate? ”

Still maintaining a silent appearance, Na Jiuye did not answer She Youdao's temptation, but sipped tea by himself, quietly looking at She Youdao's eyes.

Being stared at by Na Jiuye's rather teasing eyes, She Youdao dodged Na Jiuye's eyes, and whispered: "Isn't this what I thought, this year I went to the old official garden to find those matching things, and asked Shang Leopard to go together?" Piggybacking on the two hands-on children? ”

'Poof', Na Jiu Ye finally couldn't hold back the smile in his heart, sprayed the tea in his mouth on She Youdao's face, coughed and pointed at She Youdao and smiled: "Look at your little bit of breath!" Still holding on to his strength, saying that he wanted to pass on the skills of serving Xiaolong to Youbao that the two of you had in hand? I'm afraid that I have long taken a fancy to which child, and I expect someone to call you two 'master', right? ”

Turning his face flushed, She Youdao smiled at Na Jiu Ye and said, "It's not to look at these children dangling in front of you, thinking that they are idle and idle, isn't it to find two people to help fight them?"

Restraining the smile on his face, Na Jiu Ye shook his head at She Youdao very solemnly: "This is not yet the heat!" As soon as these children entered the main gate of the fire, they hadn't learned all the little gongjia, so they learned to serve with their respective masters, and they definitely couldn't take care of the gongjia on their bodies. The piles have not been stabilized yet, but the bridge collapsed and the building collapsed! Second, these little apprentices were all picked up by leopards outside, and they have only eaten for a few days, and their bodies and bones have not yet been fully raised, so don't worry about this moment! ”

Teasing the son he was holding in his arms, Xie Menshen also interjected in a rare way: "What Senior Brother said is true!" As for these children, I see that several of them are quite good, but the little skills have not been learned before, and I really don't dare to take them to my side! Wait a little longer, and after the end of the year, you can see what these children are suitable for learning! ”

Nodding his head busily, She Youdao said again and again: "Then do what my senior brother wants!" Anyway, the meat is all in the pot, and you can eat it in your mouth in the morning and evening."

Blinking his eyelids, Na Jiu Ye caught this moment, and said to She Youdao in a hurry: "Then in the second half of the day, you two brothers will go to pick those little dragons that are paired to spend the winter, but will you bring the leopard?" ”

"Bring it!"

As if to cover up the embarrassment of being exposed by Na Jiuye, the She brothers didn't ask those little apprentices to help, and used the shovel to spread out the fine sand and dry wheat grass that had just been put into the courtyard of the second courtyard to remove the moisture, but they sneaked to the side of Xiang Youbao, who was sweating profusely, and lowered their voices and said to Xiang Youbao: "There is a leopard, accompany the two of us to visit the old official garden in the second half of the day!" ”

didn't ask more, Xiang Youbao simply agreed, and waited for a group of little apprentices from the tribe to almost clean up the cabbage cellar, and then grabbed two pieces of cake from the room to make do with his stomach, and followed the She family brothers, who couldn't wait, out of the door.

Looking at the bamboo basket with a layer of mud in the hands of the She brothers, Xiang Youbao reached out and took the two very heavy baskets into his hands while knowingly, but at the same time, he asked the two brothers of the She family: "Two uncles, the basket you are carrying is specially used to serve Xiaolong?" ”

With a pair of hands on their backs, the She brothers were very comfortable as shopkeepers. Raising his eyes to look at Xiang Youbao, who was holding the two baskets in front of him and looking at them carefully, She Youdao whispered to Xiang Youbao and smiled proudly: "Look, this thing is something that our brothers have figured out by themselves, and even your master has never seen it!" ”

Rolling his eyes, he didn't want to think about it, and the compliments in his mouth were already sprinkled out without capital: "I heard my master say it earlier, and it is not said that it is in the main gate of Huo, but in Sijiu City, the skills of the two uncles in serving Xiaolong are unique!" Just these two baskets are bamboo baskets inside and a layer of mud on the outside? Two uncles, what is this exquisite? ”

Holding it in his emphasis, She Youdao snorted in a very senior manner: "If you want to talk about this basket, you have to test how much you have learned from your master!" Let me ask you, why do you want to find a new companion for the little dragon in winter? ”

honestly put on the appearance of an open-minded and studious little apprentice, and replied in response: "I heard Uncle Shi say that the little dragon that this person has served has grown spiritually, but it is weak in fierceness!" But if you rely on feeding blood food to increase your fierceness, you are afraid that the little dragon will not recognize the master after being stained with blood. The best way is to take advantage of the time when the little dragon is waiting for the winter nest, carefully find some natural wild companions to nest, and it is good to mention some fierceness! ”

Nodding with satisfaction, She Youdao continued to ask: "Then how can you find a companion for the little dragon who has served?!" Even if they find a suitable companion, how can they not be mixed together for the winter, so as not to string the smell between each other, and wake up from the sting next year, which is not easy to share? ”

Still looking humble and studious, Xiang Youbao replied honestly: "Match with the same species, and you have to match according to the size!" Before pairing, you have to feed those little dragons, otherwise you are afraid that the little dragons will be very hungry, and you will be able to bite and devour each other! However, this is not mixed together to spend the winter in the little dragon winter, and it has always liked to get together! In the past, you had to rely on your hands and eyes to be diligent and from time to time to separate the little dragons who had piled up in the winter."

Proudly pointing to the two baskets in Xiang Youbao's hands, She Youdao smiled a little trickily: "But this thing that our brothers figured out can make Xiaolong spend the winter nest, and it happens to be a one-to-one nest." Even if you get them together, it won't be long before you have to be separated! ”

Lifting the two baskets in front of his eyes again, Xiang Youbao looked at the mud that had obviously just been pasted on the basket, and snorted slightly, and suddenly smelled a trace of snakes that were not easy to be noticed.

Rolling his eyes, Xiang Youbao pondered for a moment, but smiled at She Youdao, who was walking backwards with his hands behind his back: "Uncle Shi, I'm guessing this blindly, and I don't know if it's right - you stuck in the mud on this basket, did you mix some acacia oil from Xiaolong's body?"

His eyes widened in surprise, and She Youdao looked at Xiang Youbao with some surprise: "How do you have a brain like this?" It's really a little bit thorough, and it's a good idea! But here's a little trick! ”

"Then uncle, will you teach me?"

"Teach? What to teach? Take boiling water and pour it on? Hahahaha" (To be continued.) Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
