"Ah Tao, I just heard from the onlookers that tomorrow at noon, Wang Xi and Geng Hu's annual cockfighting conference will be held at Bao Daya's cockfighting platform."

"Oh? Cockfighting conventions? Li Tao's eyes lit up.

"Those who go in to watch will have to pay three hundred yuan each!" Fan Changfeng continued.

"No problem, I'll go to A-Niang for money! We can't afford to miss such a great opportunity to feast our eyes. ”

"No, Tao, don't bother your mother. If you decide, I have money, and I have saved dozens of pocket money over the years. Fan Changfeng waved his hand.

"Jiulang, my stomach is growling, let's find something to eat, shall we?" Li Tao looked up at the sky, it was already past the time for lunch.

There are several large wooden barrels at the entrance of the eel workshop, and the yellow eels that are alive like snakes are squeezed around in the barrels. The yellow eel, although it doesn't smell and bite, but the whole body is so smooth and greasy that people can't catch it, which is a nasty thing. The one that broke the eel was a short, full beard. He reached into the basin and always got one. He stuck the unrestrained part of the yellow eel, knocked the edge of the basin, and the yellow eel stopped struggling in his hand, and the beard embedded a nail on the head of the yellow eel, and fixed the nail to a thin board, the eel lay on the board and let him cut his stomach with a knife, and let him debon, and let him cut it into an inch and put it in the bowl, without shouting, nor screaming, not even slipping, so that Li Tao and Fan Changfeng had to admire the craftsmanship of the beard!

"Two little Langjun, fresh yellow eel, do you want to have two, it's fragrant!" Seeing Li Tao and Fan Changfeng staring at him intently, the bearded man greeted him warmly.

Fan Changfeng shook his head, pulled Li Tao and ran away, see if it's okay, if you really want to eat, Fan Changfeng doesn't have the guts.

There is too much food in the county, oranges, peanuts, pears, pomelo, potatoes.

There was a boiling cauldron boiling on the beach, and a cook with a head wrapped in green handkerchief and a face full of flour was riding on a large wooden pole to crush the dough, and cut and peeled it with a knife, and the dough was put into the pot.

Someone in the restaurant dipped the fragrant stewed mutton, dipped in salted water and spicy seeds, and ate it with rice noodles. Someone poured the fried pork intestines with glutinous rice, cut them into slices and put them on the table, and Li Tao and Fan Changfeng almost swallowed their tongues.

If you are hungry and rich, then this place will allow you to stay for the rest of your life.

Li Tao and Fan Changfeng are really greedy, but it's a pity that none of them have a copper plate in their pockets. Come to think of it, I was going to a private school, so how could I bring money with me?

When passing by a stall selling pig blood strands, Li Tao and Fan Changfeng carried a "schoolbag" in one hand and covered their mouth and nose with the other, not because it smelled bad, but because they were afraid that they would not be able to resist the temptation of fragrance.

After leaving the county seat, he didn't walk for a while, and Li Tao didn't want to move: "Jiulang, you still have breakfast in your bookcase!" Let's eat something and come back, I'm so hungry! ”

Fan Changfeng didn't answer, his nose twitched, like a hungry dog.

"What do you smell...... Li Tao stopped halfway through his words, because he also smelled the extremely fragrant smell of boiled meat.

Fan Changfeng and Li Tao's saliva dripped to the ground, and they followed the fragrance to the door of a house. The door was closed, and the two smiled bitterly, even if the door was open, could they lick their faces and beg for meat?

Just as the two of them were about to turn around and leave, the door opened, and a girl wearing a blue and white apron appeared in front of them with a wooden basin. This girl is ten ** years old, with a round goose egg face, black eyes, red cheeks, and a youthful and lively atmosphere around her body.

"Two Xiaolang, I don't know who you are looking for?" The girl saw Li Tao and Fan Changfeng standing in front of her house, and felt quite strange.

"We ...... Looking for ......" The two of them were speechless for a long time.

The girl smiled and walked out of the door to splash the dirty water in the basin. When she came back, the girl looked at the stupid two and smiled: "Two little langs, if you don't dislike it, please come and sit in the house!" ”

"Don't dislike, don't dislike!" The girl's words hit the nail on the head, and the two of them were busy.

The girl's father is a simple person, I heard the girl say that he invited two Xiao Langjun who didn't know him to eat dog meat together, let the two into the grass house, and said with a smile: "It's not a very good thing, if this dog meat can still be ambiguous in three or nine days, I am afraid that you will be panicked if you eat it!" Come, sit, two Xiaolang, it's enough! ”

Although Li Tao and Fan Changfeng didn't bring money, Fan Changfeng had side dishes in his bookcase, so he quickly took them out and ate them with the father and daughter with dog meat.

While talking, several people became acquainted, Li Tao and Fan Changfeng reported their names, and also learned that the girl's father's surname was Xu, and the two called them Xu. The girl's name is Xu Xiaozhen, and the two call them Sister Xu.

Dog meat is bright in color, rich in aroma, and has an excellent taste. As the saying goes: "Dog meat rolls three times, and the gods can't stand steadily." Smelling the smell of dog meat, the gods also jumped over the wall". Because dog meat is different from pork, it has a smell that is not like mutton, and it must be covered with something heavy. So when Mr. Xu was eating dog meat, he drank home-brewed wine.

Seeing that Mr. Xu was rolling in the salted water and spicy while using chopsticks to cut into small pieces of dog meat, and while picking up a bowl and sipping the baogu roast, Li Tao's wine worms in later generations were immediately hooked out.

"Uncle Xu, what is the matter with this cockfighting meeting between Wang Xi and Liu Renyi?" Li Tao and Xu Laozhang chatted.

"That's a long ......"

Wang Xi's family was one of the most wealthy families in Shucheng, he owned a very prosperous restaurant "Cyclamen" in the city, and there were hundreds of acres of fields outside the city, and he also owned a black dragon pond with hundreds of acres of water, in which carp were produced. Wang Xi is rich and rich, and he is bold and righteous, but he is a flying eagle and a lackey, especially fond of gambling. The old housekeeper Liu Laozhong was so anxious that he repeatedly advised Wang Xi, but Wang Xi was tired of Liu Laozhong's chatter, and asked him to go home to care for the elderly. He invited another classmate and friend who was in love with his spleen surname, Shi Kaiquan, to be the housekeeper. Shi Kaiquan entered the palace with two fighting cocks, and when Wang Xi saw it, he immediately fell in love with this high-legged, long-necked, majestic fighting.

As the saying goes, "poor dogs, rich cockfighters", relying on the wealth and wealth, under the advice of Shi Kaiquan, Wang Xi sent people to Kaifeng in the west and Haizhou in the east, bought dozens of famous cockfights of all colors, and hired a chickenherd who specializes in raising chickens.

However, the reincarnation of feng shui, since the year before last, Wang Xi's dominance of the cockfighting platform was ended by Geng Hu. I don't know who this Geng Hu is, and he opened a money bank opposite the county office. Geng Hu also likes cockfighting, and there is a nest of cockfighting cocks at home, I heard that Wang Xi became the king of cockfighting, and he was not convinced, so he gave Wang Xi a challenge, which can be called not a rivalry!
