Chapter 33: Anecdotes of Taoyuan
In the backyard, two roast chickens were set up on the fire, Bai Qi was holding a brush, carefully brushing honey on the roast chicken, a drop of oil dripping on the fire, making a "zizi" sound, the rich fragrance made Cheng Chumo swallow his saliva continuously, the whole body leaned forward, was glared at by Bai Qi, and then retracted his head in a curt, his eyes still on the golden roast chicken on the shelf. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The dog and several children in the village sat on the small bamboo bench one after another, holding their cheeks, watching the roast chicken drooling continuously, and their faces were red and fluttering by the firelight, which was extremely cute.
The dog lay down next to the white chess, grabbed the hand of the white chess, and put the fingers of his left hand into his mouth, his eyes blinked, full of aura: "Sir, the dog wants to eat roast chicken." Seeing Baiqi's gaze, he immediately pointed his little finger at the youngest second girl and said, "Second girl especially wants to eat roast chicken!" ”
Over there, the second girl was wearing a small braid, holding her fingers, and said in a vague voice: "Sir, the second girl wants to eat roast chicken!" ”
Bai Qi laughed, gently touched the dog's head with his palm, and tapped his and Erniu's foreheads with his fingers: "The person is a big ghost!" ”
Asked the subordinate to bring tools, Bai Qi skillfully cut a roast chicken into pieces, used a plate to sandwich the chicken with the bones removed, poured the sauce he had made, and then divided it among them, seeing that they were eating happily, and then took down the remaining roast chicken himself, and turned the sharp dagger in the palm of his hand, and quickly cut the whole chicken into large pieces, dipped in the sauce, and ate it with relish.
"Hey, brother!" Cheng Chumo's dark face showed a flattering smile, he rubbed his palms, leaned forward, stretched out his hand to get the chicken, was glared at by Bai Qi, retracted his hand stupidly, and said with a sad face: "Brother, I know it's wrong!" If you want to beat and punish casually, but you can't help but let my brother and me look at the food in front of me and not be able to eat! ”
The skinny second girl was fighting hard against the chicken legs, and when she heard Cheng Chumo's words, she suddenly raised her head and said in a milky voice: "Uncle Cheng is the foodie that Mr. said!" ”
Cheng Chumo smiled a little embarrassedly and continued to beg.
Bai Qi looked at a pair of black and thick hands on his arms and shook them, the stout Cheng Chumo looked at him like a resentful woman, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly threw away Cheng Chumo, avoided his body, and said in disgust: "I'm afraid of you, eat it, eat it, eat you undignified foodie!" The next time you slander Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will make you unable to come near my kitchen for a month! ”
Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up, he copied the basin containing a large piece of roast chicken, poured a lot of sauce into it, grabbed a large piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Eat so much sauce, aren't you afraid of salting you?" Looking at half of the black sauce in the basin, White asked.
Seeing that Cheng Chumo was only concerned about eating and did not answer his words, Bai Qi snorted coldly.
After eating, Cheng Chumo was also kicked until he lost his temper, and the anger of white chess was finished. Seeing that the sun in the sky was not too fierce, the white chess player waved it, put the youngest second girl around his neck, and led a group of people to the river.
At the entrance of the village, several big hens wagged their tails, each with a flock of chickens foraging in the mud, and when they saw someone coming, they immediately raised the hair behind their buttocks as if they were facing a great enemy, and protected the chickens to death. On the big stone at the entrance of the village, the majestic old rooster stared at the white chess group, and his head was left and right, observing whether there were any white chess and their allies around. Not far away, the black dog that had shed its hair was hiding to the side, its eyes fixed on the chick behind the hen, ready to pounce forward.
Cheng Chumo laughed, bent down and dug a small piece of mud in the mud, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it at the old rooster.
"Giggles!" The old rooster flew into the sky, and a few chicken feathers fell behind him, and he pounced on them viciously! Dare to use force against this chicken, and see how this chicken destroys you! Cheng Chumo grabbed the dog and put it around his neck, and then ran away with a smile with Bai Qi and a few older children. After chasing for more than ten meters, seeing that the white chess pieces were driven away by themselves, the old rooster let out a long howl, fluttered his wings in high spirits, and flew back to the big rock, his eyes constantly patrolling his territory. Seeing the dead dog hiding in the corner of the wall, the fighting spirit rose again, and pounced violently, pecking off the black dog's hair at once. The black dog snorted, and suddenly slipped into the alley and disappeared!
"Crazy, your village is full of monsters!" Cheng Chu sighed silently, and the little guy on his head was pulling his hair to tie his braids.
"Uncle Cheng is a monster!" The second girl turned around and smiled innocently.
There is an acre of pond on the side of the road, which is full of lotus leaves. White plucked a large lotus leaf for each of them and put it on their heads. It felt much cooler all of a sudden, and the child innocently touched the lotus leaf on his head, and the crisp laughter continued along the way.
Lay out the mat, give Cheng Chumo a fishing rod, and then prepare a small fishing rod for each child, and tell the subordinates next to them to watch them and not let them fall into the water. Throw the fishing rod into the pond, then cover your head with lotus leaves, and lie down.
The children also found it funny, smiled and clapped their palms, threw the fishing rod in their hands, happily learned the appearance of white chess, lay on the mat, and then covered their heads with lotus leaves. After playing for a while, I found that it was not fun, and then I opened the lotus leaf again, and a few friends got together, muttering something.
"Crazy, I heard that Jieli has been forced down from Yin Mountain by Li Jing and them, and now he is in the clouds, constantly fleeing westward." Under the lotus leaf, Cheng Chumo's voice was a little strange: "This battle should end soon, right?" ”
It took a long time for White to respond, "What, you want to go?" ”
Cheng Chumo got up suddenly and lifted the lotus leaf on the white chess head. The summer sun was very bright, shining on Cheng Chu's dark face, reflecting the inexplicable brilliance on his face, and his eyes were flowing with excitement. Bai Qi closed his eyes, put the lotus leaf back on, and said weakly: "Chu Mo, you better train hard first, Datang, there will be big battles and hard battles to fight in the future." ”
"Really?" Cheng Chumo excitedly took away the lotus leaf on the head of the white chess piece and threw it aside.
Cheng Chumo, this guy, will take a vacation on vacation, and let people take a vacation! Bai Qi sighed, looked helplessly at this person of the same age as himself, gritted his teeth and said: "Xue Yantuo, Gaoli, Huifu, Tubo, Wakou, etc., there are still a bunch of small countries around the Tang Dynasty, are you afraid that there will be no chance to make meritorious contributions?" ”
Seeing Cheng Chumo smiling, Bai Qi's good mood was not half gone, he glanced at Cheng Chumo fiercely, pulled a group of children, and returned to the Hou Mansion.
As soon as he returned to the door of the Hou Mansion, he saw a handsome and sunny young man standing in front of the door, wearing a moon-white satin coat, with a fine Lantian jade pendant hanging from his waist, and his figure was slender. There was a smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, as refreshing as the summer sun, and behind him was an old man and several young people.
"Hey, who's this guy? What are you doing standing on your doorstep? Seeing a few little girls passing by secretly looking at the young man, and looking like a nymphomaniac, Cheng Chumo and Bai Qi looked at themselves and couldn't help but be angry.
Anyway, he is also a marquis, a national civil servant, are these women blind, looking at this little white face that has not grown all the hair, don't they feel the domineering spirit on their bodies!
"Uncle Zhang, who is this little white face?" Looking at the butler who came out of it, Bai Qi pointed to the young man and asked.
The housekeeper Uncle Zhang replied with a smile: "Young master, this young man has come back from Jiangnan, and it is said that he is the only son of Situ Old Ghost, who is one of the best businesses in Chang'an City, and I want to visit you today!" ”
The young man who was bending down to hold a handful of greens and talking to the old woman with a smile, heard the housekeeper talk about himself, immediately put the greens back, stepped forward, hugged his fists and said happily: "Master Hou, in Xia Situ Hao, the word Changping, my friends in Chang'an City gave me a nickname Dead Tuhao, male, female-loving, suave, and wealthy!" ”
The group at the door was stunned by Situ Hao's self-introduction! -milk, I've never seen such narcissism and self-introduction!
Bai Qi smiled, this guy was a little interesting, he touched his chin, and said directly to Situ Hao: "Dead tyrant, you are a businessman, I am a soldier, do you want to get any benefits from me when you look for me?" ”
Situ Hao rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly: "Master Hou said that he laughed, Changping has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!" He paused, found that Bai Qi did not mean to invite him into the mansion, and continued: "Actually, Yan Fatzi is my friend, do you remember the certificate given to the Xiangdao soldiers last time, and the money on the certificate was received from me in the end!" ”
Bai Qi glanced at Situ Hao, a dead tyrant who seemed a little shy, and smiled and asked the housekeeper Uncle Zhang to take them to the living room, and asked the subordinates to send the dog and the second girl home, and he and Cheng Chumo went back to the backyard to change clothes.
"Crazy, this Situ Hao is very famous in Chang'an, why did he come to you?" Cheng Chumo asked strangely, did a businessman come to the Hou Ye's mansion in broad daylight and look for death?
"Hehe, didn't I use the Cloud Breaking Army's weapons development department to sell something before? Now the cat smells fishy and runs over! Bai Qi picked up the kettle, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and took Cheng Chumo to the living room.
After a greeting with Situ Hao, the guests and hosts on both sides sat down, and Bai Qi asked Situ Hao to serve tea, and then asked curiously: "I don't know what happened to Ziping looking for this marquis?" ”
A smile appeared on Situ Hao's handsome face, and he said: "The Cloud Breaking Army led by Hou Ye broke the Xuanjia Army, and now Chang'an knows it. And the convenience provided to us by the Weapons Beginning Department in the Cloud Breaking Army has also benefited us a lot. Master Hou, Ziping has an idea, I don't know if I should say it? ”
"Oh, please!" White's expression was calm.
"Master Hou, Ziping wants to invest money in the research of the Weapons Development Department in the form of shares, and everyone will share the output proportionally!" As soon as Situ Hao's words came out, he was shocked.
Bai Qi's face was calm, and while drinking tea, he was thinking about where to get some good tea leaves, and the tea at home was about to be robbed by those bandit uncles.
Cheng Chumo slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Bold! ”
