Chapter Seventy-Eight: Tang Monk Meat

The next day, Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er went to the mountains with coarse cloth.

The old man Wuwei sewed a cloth bag, and sent the two of them to the stream with the cloth bag to find a lot of broken sand and gravel and put it inside.

The old man Wuwei sewed the cloth bag filled with crushed sand and stones, and handed it to Xiao Qidao: "Tie it to your legs and try it." ”

Hua Xi'er looked adoring: "Master, I didn't expect you to be so powerful that you can actually do needlework." ”

Wuwei old man, "No way, we are all big men in the Flying Sect, and we can't sew and mend it ourselves." ”

Xiao Qi, "Master, now that you have our two apprentices, you don't have to do it yourself in the future." ”

The old man Wuwei was very helpful when he heard this, and sighed and said: "I'm really stupid, why didn't I accept a few female apprentices earlier, so that I have sewed clothes for myself for so many years, and the clothes I gave you for reference were still made by Yu'er's daughter-in-law for me." ”

Xiao Qi looked at the sack-like clothes on the old man Wuwei and said, "Master, when Mrs. Wang finishes the clothes, you will definitely be very satisfied with them." ”

Xiao Qi tied the cloth bag with crushed sand and gravel to his legs, and the old man Wuwei looked at it and was very satisfied, "It's okay, you two will sew three more according to this one." ”

Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er got a lot of crushed sand and gravel from the stream, Hua Xi'er's needlework was learned from Hua Granny, and the craftsmanship was not bad, and it didn't take long to sew three cloth bags.

Wuwei Old Man: "Come on, come on, you two tie these cloth bags to your legs and go to the side to run and play." ”

After the two were tied, the old man Wuwei handed two bamboo whistles to the two of them, and said, "With Xiao Qi's strength, those little animals of wild boars can't help you." Wait a minute, if you encounter a tiger or a bear or something that you can't deal with, just blow this whistle, master, I just want to eat tiger meat and beat the tooth sacrifice. ”

Hua Xi'er ran for a long time with a heavy cloth bag, and she was almost tired like a dog.

The two did not encounter a tiger or other fierce creatures, but they encountered a very small wild goat, Xiao Qi ran up and grabbed the little goat, held it in his arms and sent it back to the cabin of the old man Wuwei.

Old man Wuwei: "When you go back, bring this little goat back to cook, and I can eat mutton tomorrow." ”

Xiao Qi: "Master, I see that this sheep is too small, why don't I bring you braised pork tomorrow." ”

Xiao Qi is planning to give this little sheep to his brother Ah Fu, Ah Fu likes sheep very much, and often plays with the lamb when herding sheep.

The old man Wuwei thought for a moment and said: "I want to eat Tang monk meat, and I don't know if you are called Tang monk meat here in Phoenix Town, it is a cicada that comes out of the soil, the kind that has not yet shed its shell and grown wings, it is very delicious, and people in many places call it Tang monk meat." ”

Xiao Qi: "Master, what I know is that I know the monkeys, I dug a lot last year, and it was fragrant to eat it with deep frying." ”

Hua Xi'er asked Xiao Qi: "Is it the monkey you sent to my house in previous years?" It's really delicious, Xiao Qi, when you go back to the village, you take me to dig together. ”

Old man Wuwei: "Yes, just fry it, you can go back and prepare now, and bring more to the master tomorrow." ”

Hua Xi'er's legs were weak when she went down the mountain, "Xiao Qi, you have to hold my hand, I always feel like I'm about to fall, and these legs don't feel like my own." ”

Xiao Qi looked up with a small round face, a pair of clear and bright eyes, "Aunt Xi, why don't I carry you." ”

Hua Xi'er twitched the corner of her mouth, "Look at it, you are more than a head shorter than me, you carry me, and my legs and feet will be dragged on the ground at that time...... It's funny to think about. ”

Hua Xi'er took Xiao Qi and put the weight on Xiao Qi, "I'll just walk on your shoulder, it's really good, it seems to be much easier." ”

Back in the village, Xiao Qi sent Hua Xi'er home to dig cicadas, Hua Xi'er limped behind Xiao Qi, "How can this kind of thing be without me." ”

Xiao Qi couldn't resist Hua Xi'er, so she had to let her follow her.

Xiao Qi first went to his house to get two small shovels and a small jar with a lid, and then ran to the opposite side to find Pear Blossom, "Is Sister Pear Blossom at home?" ”

Liu Ergou walked out of the house with his body bent, "It's Xiao Qi, your Sister Lihua went to the town and hasn't come back yet." ”

Xiao Qi: "Uncle Ergou, go back to the house and rest first." I don't have anything to do, I'm just here to play with Sister Ewhata. ”

Xiao Qi said to Hua Xi'er, "I don't know why, Sister Lihua seems to have come back late recently." ”

Hua Xi'er, "Don't think about it yet, when you see Pear Blossom, you can ask her face to face." ”

The two walked as they talked, and went to the grove at the east end of the village.

Xiao Qi first found a small hole in the ground, and then the sharp corner of the small shovel dug a small hole, and soon dug out a monkey who knew it.

Although Hua Xi'er had eaten the monkey, she hadn't dug up this thing, so she looked at Xiao Qi digging out the monkey, Hua Xi'er was very happy, and reached out to pick up the monkey and looked at it again, "This is the monkey, it's easy to look at." ”

Xiao Qi, "This kind of monkey that has not faded its skin dug out of the soil is much more delicious than the one with wings that climbs on the tree." It is known that after climbing into the branches, the skin will peel, and after the skin is peeled, wings will grow. ”

The lid on Xiao Qi's small jar was lifted, "Aunt Xi, put it here quickly." ”

After Hua Xi'er put the monkey in the jar, she took a small shovel and found a small hole and started to move.

Half an hour later, Xiao Qi dug up a lot of monkeys from the small forest, and Hua Xi'er also dug a lot, and soon the jar was eight or nine points full.

Xiao Qi took Hua Xi'er with him and took the jar back to the house.

Niu Shi fried the monkey to golden brown with deep frying, and then divided it into two small pots, one pot of original flavor without seasoning, and the other pot of Niu Shi mixed the spicy flavor.

Xiao Qi sent a big bowl to the Lihua family, and a bowl each to his grandfather and the old patriarch's family, and the rest of the people ate quickly.

Hua Xi'er remembered her master after eating, and said to Xiao Qi: "What should I do, I forgot to leave it for my master." ”

Xiao Qi, "Don't worry, we'll catch it again at night, and when the time comes, we don't have to dig it with our hands, just pick it up directly from the ground and trees." ”

"I'll go with you." ”

"It's so easy. ”

Xiao Qi, "Yes, they will climb up the trees after they get out of the ground." ”

In the evening, Xiao Qisan quickly picked up two jars of monkeys.

The next morning, Xiao Qi and the two took the freshly fried monkey to the cabin in the mountains.

The old man Wuwei ate very satisfied, couldn't help but recall the past, and said to the two apprentices: "I loved to eat this when I was a child, my family was poor at that time, and I didn't know what meat tasted like, so I would follow my brother to dig it every summer." ”

"Later, when I was eight years old, there was a big flood in the village, and I was washed to the Feitian Gate, and my master said that I had a fate with the Feitian faction, and accepted me as an apprentice, and then I learned martial arts and went down the mountain, and went back to the village to look for it, and found that none of the people I knew before in the village were gone, and I don't know if they were all dead."

Xiao Qi: "Master, don't be sad, Aunt Xi and I will learn martial arts in the future, and we will help those people who are suffering." ”

The old man Wuwei explained a few words of internal strength to the two, and pointed out a few tricks of the flying sword technique, so he asked the two to tie a cloth bag with sand and gravel to the mountains to have fun. ”

When the two of them went down the mountain, they smiled and said goodbye to the old man Wuwei, and the old man smacked his lips and said, "The Tang monk meat you brought today is really delicious, and I will bring some tomorrow." ”

Xiao Qi: "Master, I have something to go to the town tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, we will bring Tang monk meat to the master." ”

"Okay, you can go to town tomorrow and bring me more of the baked cakes that the emperor ate."

Xiao Qi: "Okay." ”

Walking to a place where the old man couldn't see Wuwei, Hua Xi'er couldn't help grinning, "No, no, Xiao Qi, come and help me." ”
