Chapter Twenty-Three: The Demon Kiss 2
The dog meat was cut into thin slices, dipped in the soy sauce and chili powder in the bowl, and Yuan Yu and Hu Fei sweated.
Zhou Xiangren was originally a glutton, but this time it was very strange, he just sat on the side, taking small sips of the soju in the bowl, and as for the dog meat, he didn't even look at it.
The faΓ§ade of the shop was not large, nor too clean, and the tables and stools were covered with black grease, and at this time, the shop was full of four people.
The door has been tightly closed by the shop owner!
Seeing that Zhou Xiangren only drank wine, the dog butcher shop owner who had been looking at him intentionally or unintentionally gradually became respectful in his eyes, and it was not until Zhou Xiangren finished drinking that the man handed over a bowl of tea with just the right temperature with a nervous expression.
Zhou Xiangren was not polite, raised his head and drank it, touched his stomach, stood up and patted Yuan Yu and Hu Fei: "Go back...... Get back! Don't eat it. It's enough to taste it, but not for children...... Can't eat more! β
Yuan Yu and Hu Fei, who were immersed in eating, looked stunned at the same time, and their faces were full of reluctance.
The owner of the dog meat shop on the side was in a hurry, and stopped Zhou Xiangren: "Can't go, can't go, sir, can't go!" β
Zhou Xiangren didn't raise his head, stood up with Yuan Yu and Hu Fei in his arms, and said meaninglessly: "Such as...... How can I not go? β
The owner of the dog butcher shop pulled Zhou Xiangren's robe and didn't let go, for a long time, his expression was quite mysterious: "If Mr. really wants to leave, I won't stay, this meal should be made for Mr. to make amends!" Although Zhang is a rough man, he is not a brainless person! Sir will not come here for no reason, let alone steal, you must have an ulterior motive when you come to my shop. β
Zhou Xiangren blinked, with an innocent face: "I...... I'm here to steal...... Stealing your dog's meat! You, cheerful man! β
After speaking, he pulled Hu Fei and Yuan Yu and walked out.
The owner of the dog butcher shop couldn't bear it anymore this time, and almost cried and said: "If Mr. doesn't ask, then the demon will really cause my whole family to be torn apart as you said before......
Zhou Xiangren, who had already walked to the door, suddenly paused, slowly turned his head, and stared at the man tightly: "Demon? β
After that, Zhou Xiangren smiled and said with an uncertain expression: "In this world...... It's long since I can't give birth to a real demon! Tell me about it, I'm ...... Want to see what the hell it is! β
The owner of the dog butcher shop suddenly relaxed, poured the residual wine from the wine jar on the table into his mouth, wiped his mouth, and a touch of horror gradually appeared on his face.
"Our surname is Zhang, the town likes to call us Zhang Tu, and our ancestors have been doing this line of craftsmanship for several generations!"
Zhang Tu paused, and suddenly bent over at Zhou Xiangren: "I just saw that Mr. didn't touch this dog meat, let's know that Mr. is not one of those charlatans who are abducted and deceived!" β
Zhou Xiangren frowned and asked with a smile: "He ...... How so? β
Zhang Tu smiled dumbly: "Those who believe in the three religions of Confucianism and Taoism, dog meat is a big taboo, I still know this!" β
The smile on Zhou Xiangren's face gradually disappeared, and he seemed unwilling to stay on this topic longer, muttering impatiently: "Dogs are feminine things, and they can ...... at night You can see things that people can't see, you can't kill them, the dog meat is too hot, and it's easy to eat it...... Don't talk about it, say you...... Your business! β
Zhang Tu nodded, the fear on his face became thicker, and his speech trembled:
"What we do is to kill dogs for a living, we also know that this is not a good business, one hand is stained with dog blood, the evil spirit is heavy, and the second is to this dog to take care of the home, hard work is high, killing is not benevolent. But since you can only make a living, there is no other way!
The taboo left by our ancestors, dog meat is not allowed to be used in the cooking stove, let alone on the main table, and there are dog sellers who sell dogs, and they can only build a stove with stones outside the house, and destroy the stove when they are done.
I remember that it was the middle of last month, usually every fifteen and sixteen every month, we don't use the knife, because the moon is too round, the aura is too heavy, and the animal is born and dies, it is easy to give birth to some strange things! So, you can't kill it!
On the sixteenth day of the lunar calendar last month, in the second half of the morning, I was really bored, so I drank some soju to pass the time, and prepared to close the shop door early and go home to sleep.
It was when I just closed the door of the store, there was a person at the door, that person I knew, usually like to play cards, lose more and win less, and there is no serious craft, so always do some stealing chickens and dogs! Because it is a conscience thing, I often give me a price of 20%, and that day he threw a sack at me, took the money and left!
I thought about this dead beast, if I didn't clean it up that day, and wait for the night, when my body is cold, the blood will coagulate, and I can't release it, then it will be a waste!
As a last resort, and after drinking a little wine, I didn't care about the rules left by the ancestors in the past!
At that time, a few guys who helped in the store also went home, and I was the only one left! I thought, just three or two dogs, it doesn't take much effort!
At that time, I was in a hurry to receive the goods, so I didn't look at the goods in the sack, after all, it was not the first time to do this business with that person, and they were familiar with each other, but who would have thought, when I pulled the three or two still hot beasts out of the sack, I was suddenly stunned!
And guess what? One of them is really weird, long, a little smaller than the usual dog, with a shorter nose and a yellow coat with a white tinge, it looks like an old family product! In this way, the meat is also old, it is not easy to sell, and if it is sold, it will only smash the signboard, so I am a little unhappy and uncomfortable! This kid is not real, next time I see him, I have to settle the score!
I want to think about it, but the money is given, and I still have to clean it up, at least I can't lose money! So, I put the old one in the last pickup, and there was nothing to do in the middle, and after bloodletting, I pulled the cart and set up a stove on the wasteland not far from the river, and boiled it in three pots!
After boiling for a long time, when the third pot was cooked, it was already dark.
That is, that pot, something went wrong! That pot of meat, just thrown in and boiled without a stick of incense, there was a smell of the boss, indescribable smell, fishy, shameful and smelly, anyway, I vomited for a long time! I've never smelled meat like this for most of my life! After spitting up, I scolded the eight generations of the kid's ancestors in my heart, but the goods were collected by myself, and no one could complain about the transaction of money and goods, but this pot of meat could not be asked for anyway!
I found a place to bury it, and then I brushed the pot several times, but the smell was not clean.
After tossing for most of the night, when I was free, I noticed that the moonlight was so good, looking at the full moon at night, I suddenly remembered the rules of my ancestors, and I had a little luck in my heart, but on the way back, I met ......"
When Zhang Tu said this, there seemed to be a lump in his throat, his palms were clenched tightly, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead......
