The spring breeze in March crossed the bank of the Xichuan Drinking Glacier River, and opened the peach blossoms on the bank of the river. In the pink shadows of the flowers, the reflection of the dark blue canopy swayed in the broken ice.

The ferry under the peach blossom tree has finally thawed recently, and there are more people passing by. Walking, businessmen, students, visiting friends and relatives, and idlers who live nearby and pimp...... When all kinds of people wait for the ferry to wait for the boat, they inevitably have to go to the door of the cross-slope steamed bun shop and sit at her tea house.

The Cross Slope Steamed Bun Shop has only been around for a few months. A few months ago, several women came here, rented a small courtyard, took a short rest, and hung up the sign of the steamed bun shop. Not far from this place, there is a tea shop that sells food, everyone thinks that this steamed bun shop must not be open for long, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, the smell of meat in the steamed bun shop will permeate the entire ferry, and the people who come and go can never move away when they sit down, and the business of the tea shop has been stirred up a lot.

When there are more people, there are more words.

"Hey, have you heard? Our new assassin history, the bride ran away with the wild man on the wedding night! ”

"Ha, who is so bold! Is the wild man dead? ”

"Nope! I heard that the wild man's status is not low, he is the son of the Changchuan Yi family. You said that this bride is interesting, turning around, they are all men of the Yi family. ”

"Wasn't the Changchuan Yi family destroyed by His Royal Highness King Yi? I heard that His Royal Highness King Yi and that Lord Wen were lurking in the Yi family, and they directly lifted the Yi family. ”

"I have a distant relative who works as a housekeeper in Changchuan Yi's house, but I heard that His Royal Highness King Yi and Lord Wen pretended to be our assassin Shi and Mrs. and went to Changchuan Yi's house to cheat! When the news reaches Xichuan, it can make our new assassin half dead. ”

"No wonder the checkpoints have been strict recently, and the states and counties bordering Changchuan are even more three-step, one-card, five-step, and one-post, it turns out that the one is angry?"

"These big people, like you and me, will care about these trivial things. Recently, it is not only the checkpoints that have been strict, the private trade route between us and Changchuan has been blocked, but the checkpoints on the north side of Sichuan have been loosened. The road is difficult to walk, the taxes are still increasing, and the fields are paying miscellaneous taxes...... Labor has also been added, and the labor that began in the autumn of previous years began to be drawn this spring......"

"This movement...... Isn't there going to be a war above? ”

"I heard a message...... It is said that the Freemason has been making trouble with us for too long, and we can't get rid of it for many years, and this year, the new assassin Shi, the imperial court gave an order, saying that it sent someone to help us suppress bandits in Xichuan. It is necessary to completely destroy the giant fang entrenched in Xichuan. ”

"Uh...... Destroy the Freemasonry...... This is ...... Forget it, I'll just smile and don't speak. ”

"Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs...... Let's talk about the newlywed lady who eloped, I don't know what kind of allure of the country and the city can make the two outstanding young men of the Yi family fascinated? ”

"Bang."

The heavy sound of the plate falling on the table startled the chatting guests, and when they looked up, they saw one of the female proprietors of this cross-slope steamed bun shop, the one known as Sun Erniang.

Speaking of this Sun Erniang, she is not very old, although her skin is slightly dark, but she is pretty and has a good temperament.

Later, some people said that they saw Sun Erniang sharpening knives by the river, and when they looked closely, it seemed that they were sharpening human bones.

Those who say this are convincing, and those who listen are half-believed, but from then on there are fewer people who are bold.

Sun Erniang has a good temperament, but it is rare to see her calm face, with a unique flavor, in the past, everyone had to appreciate it, but at this moment, when the buns come up, where can I take care of talking, and I will the chopsticks and grab it into a dog.

After finishing a large plate of steamed buns, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and sighed for the 10,000th time: "The steamed buns are made with such a taste, and I won't change any ginseng bird's nest!" ”

"How can ginseng bird's nest compare to our meat nest." With a sneer, a large teapot flew over, swirling and falling steadily on the table, and the woman's voice was crisp, "Fresh soy milk is here!" ”

There was another crazy robbery, and someone shouted: "Sister-in-law Gu, when will your father-in-law make colorful soy milk!" Oops, I miss it! Saying that he wanted soy milk, his eyes glanced at Gu's sister-in-law and smiled.

Sister-in-law Gu is tall and tall, with a teapot bigger than her head in one hand, she doesn't look at it and throws it out gently and skillfully, and it falls on every table accurately, and when she hears this, her eyes are straightened, and she laughs: "I'll give it to you now!" "Kicked out a teapot, and the pot was crooked in mid-air, and the guy was all over the head with a bang.

In the exclamation, everyone jumped away, and a head poked out of the kitchen, a handsome man, and said slowly: "Tomorrow's new product, colorful soy milk." As he spoke, he hung out a sign with a rainbow-like soybean milk romantically painted on it, and the big character read: "Wow! Today's new product, colorful soy milk! Main raw materials: scumbag heart, liver, spleen, lungs, stomach, intestines, brain. ”

The crowd who sneaked a peek: "......"

There's also a line of small print underneath. "Raw material description: The human heart is separated from the belly, and no one knows what is inside. This filling is to echo people's inner curiosity, choose all the internal organs in the scumbag's body, and use all the brains to run all the dirty thoughts, inspired by the famous dish of the grassland lamb belly sausage, lamb belly sausage is not only belly intestines, but also contains so-called waste materials such as corner mutton and breast diaphragm, but its taste is chic, fragrant and abnormal. And our soy milk must be not far behind, please taste it. ”

Most of the people had already turned their eyes away when the sign was hung up.

I don't look, I don't look, I don't watch.

I don't know what's wrong with this house, the things are so delicious that they are terrible, and they are so novel that they are terrible, and they have already blown out a colorful article for other people's homes, but this family refuses to speak well, and every time they talk about scumbags, they say more and more disgusting every time.

What did you say about that sauce meat bun last time?

"The scumbag's belly plum strip meat is concocted with scumbag blood and plum sauce, and the flies are out of the tank and stuffed after three days of carnival hair, the taste is endless, and you want to buy it as soon as possible."

Eating with a mouth full of oil, watching the stomach churning and somewhere psychological pain, the combination of the ultimate pleasure of food and the suffering of the appetite of the soul, the desire to die of immortals, the desire to die of immortals.

Everyone was about to wait in line for soy milk, shouting at Brother Gu to hurry up, but Brother Gu said slowly: "Limited supply." ”

Before everyone had time to scold, Brother Gu said again: "Those who beat up the thin man, add a cup of soy milk." Brick headshots, two cups. For broken legs, add three cups to the left leg, four cups to the right leg, and five cups to the middle leg. ”

As he spoke, he pointed his finger and pointed at the man who had already received a teapot from the thin sister-in-law Gu.

When even someone coaxed: "Brother Gu sent a bounty list——"

The crowd rose in a hurry, and the light prodigal son was splashed with soybean milk, and he was angry with the family to roll up his sleeves, seeing everyone laughing and screaming, stepping on the table to escape, but the person sitting at the table flicked his fingers, fell and ate, and rolled out of the long way.

The person at the table has been sitting with his back to everyone, this is a man in green clothes, sitting can also see that he is tall, has a very attractive face, slender eyes, thick eyebrows and straight nose, at first glance it is very Sven, and when he laughs, he can add the word beast after Sven.

The man in Tsing Yi did not participate in the food grabbing or hands, he spread out a book in front of him, drinking soy milk while reading, and at this moment he just flicked his fingers and withdrew his hand. The entourage of the thin boy went up to help him, and in order to find some ground, he squeezed his fist fiercely, and the man ignored it, lowered his head and took a sip of soy milk, and said, "No thanks." ”

Jiading: "......"

The man shook his head as he scolded the madman for helping his son run away in embarrassment.

Saved your lives, do you know?

His eyes suddenly froze, as if he saw that where the boy had just rolled over, a shining glass bead fell, and he was about to pick it up, but the bead suddenly ran away by himself.

He blinked.

Blink again.

Yes, it's not rolling, it's running away, one meal at a time, and the shaking is very large, reminiscent of a pouting fat ass.

The man was in a daze under the spring sun, a little worried about whether he had drunk too much soy milk recently, and his eyes were glazed.

He was in a daze here, and there, because the thin prodigal son fell down in front of his desk, and everyone's eyes naturally chased him, and when they saw this person, they couldn't help but start muttering again.

"Hey, this guy has been here for a month, hasn't he?"

"Come here every day, but don't talk to people, where is the weird person."

"Didn't you fall in love with which proprietress here? Gu's sister-in-law has a famous flower, isn't it Sun Erniang? ”

The man in Tsing Yi turned his back to them, deaf to them, a plate of hot sanding buns was being delivered to his table, the man glanced at the buns, and glanced at the book spread out in front of him, which was a hardcover book that was popular in Tianjing, and there were still few local hardcover books, the book was called "Liangshan Dangkou Zhi".

On the page he opened, the thirty-second chapter, "Dominatrix sells human flesh in North Sichuan Road, and meets Zhang Qing at the cross slope of Wudutou".

The man raised his head and glanced at Sun Erniang, who had sent the buns, and the expression on his face was indescribable.

The whispering continued.

Look at the way he looked at Sun Erniang...... It must be lustful, and I fell in love with it! ”

The man in Tsing Yi subconsciously looked at the page in front of him.

“…… The woman got up and greeted her, tied a red silk skirt, and rubbed her face with rouge and lead powder, and opened her breasts, revealing the main waist of the pink veil, and a golden button on it. said: "Guest officer, my family has good wine and good meat. When you have a snack, a big steamed bun! ”

Look at Sun Erniang in front of her, wearing a gray cloth dress, no fat-free powder, her voice is crisp, and she said with a smile: "Guest officer, there is no wine or meat in our store, only soy milk fritters and three buns!" ”

The man in Tsing Yi glanced at the book.

“…… Wu Song asked: Restaurant, this steamed bun is made of human flesh and dog meat? I saw that there were a few hairs in the stuffing of this steamed bun, like the hairs in the urine of a person. I have never walked on the rivers and lakes, and I have heard people say: The cross slope of the big tree, who dares to cross the guest? The fat ones are cut into steamed bun fillings, but the thin ones are put to fill the river! ”

Man in Tsing Yi: "Dare to ask the store, ...... this bun filling"

Xichuan Sun Erniang is very skilled: "The eyes and tongue of the scumbag and a certain pill are diced and marinated overnight with soy sauce and vinegar, and then chopped and diced after drying. The flavor is unique and not to be missed. ”

Man in Tsing Yi: "......"

Sun Erniang smiled and left, the man didn't have time to follow the plot in the book, and asked why your husband disappeared?

However, he felt that if he really asked, he was afraid that he would become the main filling of the three Ding buns.

Of the three rooms behind the café, one is the kitchen, and in front of the steaming cauldron at the moment, there is another person who is casually ordering dumplings. The dumplings wrapped in the basket are snow-white and chubby, and she doesn't look at them casually, sometimes they are still in a daze, and they seem to have forgotten to fish dumplings for a while, and then they are in a hurry to fish, but only connoisseurs can see that those dumplings are just right, which one will be fished first, and then there will be no mistake.

But in a moment, the dumplings with a big basket became a bowl of steaming dumplings, the dumplings are ingot-shaped, round and lovely, the dumpling skin is jade transparent, faintly revealing the jade blue color and dissolving goose yellow, which is stuffed with leek eggs; The light green and soft red like the sunset reflecting the river, it is the leek shrimp, the meat color is like the rouge on the cheeks of the beauty, and it is the beef filling.

When there was only one bowl of dumplings left, the woman casually threw a glass bead into it, and the bead stretched out in the boiling soup, basking her white belly, like sunbathing on the beach.

After a while, the woman put the bowl of boiled dumplings with soup and pushed them into the bowls that contained the dumplings.

She looked outside, and outside the window, Qingfeng was illiterate, and she was still flipping through books.

The whispering behind the man in Tsing Yi continued.

“…… Look at these two people, they are not tired, maybe they are here for the deliciousness, have you heard of it, it is said that although the chef is Brother Gu and his wife, Hu Sanniang's cooking skills are actually better! ”

"Don't blow it up. Brother Gu, sister-in-law Gu's cooking skills are already the top of the bamboo shoots, how good can Hu Sanniang be? Imperial Chef? ”

"Hey, don't don't, no matter how good Hu Sanniang's cooking skills are, I don't want to eat what she makes, vomit, look at her face......"

"This shouldn't be here for Hu Sanniang, hahahaha......"

"Hu Sanniang is here!"

A sound came out and the crowd was shocked.

Everyone snorted, jumped up from the bench, copied the buns, copied the steamed buns, and carried the soy milk, splashed and sprinkled, and screamed, except for a few who just came and didn't know the situation, the rest ran away in a blink of an eye.

The man in Tsing Yi closed the book, turned his head, and looked back at the shopkeeper who had made him wait for more than a month to see one.

The figure coming from the backlight looks a little petite, the silhouette is slender and beautiful, especially the waist is so thin that it seems to be foldable, the same does not wear a hairpin ring, but the two temples are braided carefully, there is no beaded ornament on the braid, only tied one by one with thin gold wire, revealing a little delicate, the braid is finally tied into a strand at the back of the head, and there is a colorful glass bead, which looks a little familiar.

Her small face is slightly round, but her chin is pointed, and when she tilts her head slightly, her long eyelashes cover her crystal clear eyes, and her eyes are far away.

The whole person is loose and exquisite, casual and casual, casual and free.

The man thinks about such a beautiful woman, if it makes people retreat?

Then Hu Sanniang walked closer, the sunlight poured down, and the man choked his breath.

The face with a wonderful outline was densely covered with tiny black bumps, almost destroying the original beautiful facial features, and on the largest black bump on the cheeks, there were three long hairs, fluttering in the wind.

That hair is so ecstatic that it always gives people the illusion that if you pull one out, you can turn it into the golden hoop stick of Sun Wukong in the legend of the stone monkey.

No wonder this proprietress didn't come out easily, and with a glance at her face, her business had to drop by three percent.

Hu Sanniang was holding a tray in her hand, and on the tray were steaming dumplings, and Brother Gu hung out the signboard of today's new product in a muffled voice.

The Cross Slope Steamed Bun Shop has never produced new products twice a day, which makes the people who fled gather again, and when they look at it, the small blackboard reads: "Today's new product: dumplings!" Main raw material: old leather on the feet. Raw material description: At midnight, after a busy day, sitting in front of the hot water basin prepared by the yellow-faced woman, taking off the boots full of stinky sweat, and the socks crawling with lice, picking off the old dirt between the toes, putting the feet into the hot water, exhaling a long breath in an instant, feeling the soul out of the body, and the snow-white and transparent foot skin torn off after soaking the feet can be called the most accomplished wonderful product in the world. This dumpling, collecting a thousand old skins on the feet of coolies, has never been seen before, and you deserve it. ”

Everyone sat at the table, from their souls to their expressions, like zombies.

To eat, or not to eat, that's the question.

There is a bigger problem, that is, Hu Sanniang, the female shopkeeper, I heard that she didn't come out, and every time she came out, she would be accompanied by a person missing.

After that, there was a saying that this Hu Sanniang, who had a strange skill, was deceived by a scumbag when she was young, and she had the ability to "know a scumbag". Most of her food is fine, but there will be a bowl, which is always coincidentally eaten by the scumbag, and then the scumbag is gone, and then, everyone eats new products such as buns, dumplings, beef noodles, lion heads, spicy hot skewers, etc.

It's a good story to think about and scare all the bear kids who won't sleep at night.

The diners sat stiffly in their seats, and none of them ran away.

Because Brother Gu, sister-in-law Gu, Sun Erniang, and the shopkeepers all came out, they were all patrolling outside the field, although they did not take the murder weapon, but the spatula in their hands was bright, the kitchen knife was sharp, and even the cutting board in Brother Gu's hand was pure copper, and the four corners were so sharp that they could kill cattle.

The fear of being dominated by kitchen knives and cutting boards over the years has made the eaters extremely well-behaved.

It's not that I'm not afraid, it's just that Hu Sanniang is difficult to come out, and the unlucky ghost who came out is not necessarily herself, everyone has a fluke mentality, and they can't bear the delicious killing of the cross slope bun shop.

Hu Sanniang came over.

The dumplings exude a mesmerizing aroma, everyone swallowed their saliva, but their eyes did not dare to look at the bowl floating, for fear that the blue flower porcelain bowl that was everywhere was the legendary "slag bowl", and in a second he would stretch out his hands and point to his nose and say: "You are a scumbag, quickly offer your belly!" ”

The man in Tsing Yi with his back to everyone was also very tight on his shoulders, and he felt that he had a bad premonition.

The legendary bowl of the proprietress should be a bowl with his fate.

The dumplings began to be distributed, the proprietress appeared, and they were served for free, and whether they ate it was ascended to immortal or heaven, it all depended on luck.

When it was sent to the man, he pushed the book forward, but the proprietress didn't seem to see it, the dumplings were placed on the book at will, and the soup smudged the illustrations of Hu Sanniang in the book, and the blurred black black face was more like the person in front of him.

The man looked at the pale pink crystal dumplings floating in the clear soup in front of him, and swallowed his saliva with difficulty, as if he didn't want to eat it in his heart, but his body was very honest.

Frightened and shouted, "No, I don't want to!" ”

But the hand told him sincerely, "No, you want to." ”

Soon, like all honest people around, he picked up his chopsticks.

When he started eating, he was glad that the blackboard with the description of the new product was not hung in front of him, but was placed in the corner of an unlucky bastard, so that he couldn't see it and didn't have to eat on his feet.

Everyone gloated at that unlucky guy, this guy has been staring at Hu Sanniang since he sat down, he must have angered Hu Sanniang.

This person seems to be the only one who hasn't eaten anything, whether it is the steamed buns brought by Sun Erniang or the soy milk brought by Sister-in-law Gu.

Everyone stared at him, wanting to see if he ate this time, but the man in Tsing Yi was thinking, has this person been here before? When did you come today? The whole audience was in his eyes, why didn't he have any impression of this person?

Is he also here for Hu Sanniang?

The man in Tsing Yi was a little wary and absentmindedly took a bite of the dumpling.

A bubble of fresh juice poured into the mouth, and it was beef.

The man in Tsing Yi lowered his head, seemingly eating the dumplings, and the stiff collar of his clothes moved slightly at his chin, revealing a small bag, and the dumplings fell into the bag quietly.

He squinted his eyes and saw the unlucky guy who was eating dumplings with his feet on his feet, and sure enough, he had already started eating, and he glanced at the small blackboard and ate a dumpling.

Looks like it's pretty good to eat.

A bowl of dumplings, one by one, finished without leaking, the unlucky egg put down the chopsticks upright, the chopsticks rested in the middle of the bowl, the bowl rested in the middle of the table, and then, upright, poured back, poured in the middle of the chair.

The peeping man in Tsing Yi was stunned, his eyes rolled, and he realized that at some point, everyone who was eating on all sides had fallen.

The man in Tsing Yi suddenly realized, and hurriedly threw himself on the table.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the man in Tsing Yi thought, sure enough, it's me.

O Chosen One, I!
