In the early morning of the next day, a group of people in the martial arts hall were practicing in the courtyard outside, and Shi Keqi was still squatting on the side after cleaning.

Yan Yanping saw his bald head that was burned by the fire, pursed her lips and laughed, and after laughing, she went into the backyard to practice. Xue Shiliu has already left the school, and he has come less often, even if he often comes in the afternoon and evening, he has not bumped into him, but he knows that he is now responsible for cleaning the martial arts hall.

Li Dashi saw that everyone practiced about the same, and he would also go to the backyard to practice a few hands, Yan Zhenbei usually taught his disciples martial arts in the backyard, and rarely came to the front yard to teach the staff.

Yan Zhenbei officially included two and a half apprentices, Li Dashi and Xue Shiliu, and Yan Yanping counted half, because they were both daughters and apprentices. Other people who practice martial arts in the martial arts hall can only be regarded as apprentices, and most of the apprentices are just to strengthen their bodies or learn a few self-defense techniques, and they do not expect to become any martial arts masters.

Shi Keqi squatted for a quarter of an hour, Yan Zhenbei inspected the whole audience with his hands behind his back, and Oqing came to him and looked at him carefully.

"Are you healed from your internal injuries?"

"Master Yan is discerning. Shi Keqi didn't say how good it was, and he didn't ask anyway. If it is Li Dashi's disciple, he must be called Shigong, but Li Dashi has not confiscated his official apprentice so far, and Yan Zhenbei has not accepted any more disciples, so it is not wrong for Shi Keqi to call him Master Yan, if he is accepted as a formal disciple, he can only be called Shifu, and he cannot bring his surname, because it sounds like an outsider.

Of course, Shi Keqi called Li Dashi Master Li and called him Master Yan, which sounded a bit chaotic about the seniority, but he asked the students to call him like this, so the seniority was not so particular.

"Oh, that's well, congratulations, squat down for two more points. ”

"......" Shi Keqi complied with a wry smile.

"Let me ask you another question, why don't you have to have a bald head with good hair, like a green skin?"

Shi Keqi grinned and said, "If the hall is lit at night, you can save candles." ”

"I spent twice as much time squatting today as usual. Yan Zhenbei didn't appreciate his cold joke and threw down a sentence.

“......”

Soon it was time to start work, and Scoki appeared in the kitchen lazily. And Master Zhu asked someone to ask for sick leave for a few days, and the cow shopkeeper's face was red and black, black and red, but there was nothing he could do, could he still be caught from his house to work, but he was moved by the idea of changing people.

When he was going to cook a meal for everyone, Shi Keqi had a whim, thinking that he had watched a lot of stir-fried vegetables in Zhu, and he had also made burnt meals at home before. He told Chef Zhu to let him try stir-frying, and it didn't seem difficult to stir-fry delicious dishes. Looking at his confident look, Xiao Zhu nodded, and asked him to get braised tofu to see, anyway, the ingredients are simple and cheap, and waste is not in the way at all, of course, the premise is not to let the cattle shopkeeper know.

Shi Keqi boiled the red pot and put oil, turned the pan and stir-fried, it looked decent. After finishing the frying and serving, several people in the kitchen gasped, and the yellow and clear lump of rotten things could no longer see the original appearance of the tofu.

Master Xiao Zhu sighed and said, "Others eat food and turn it into, but you have the ability to make food directly into." Xiao Zhu has always been kind to people, even if he manages people, he mostly takes care of the face of others, and rarely uses a mean tone to train people, Shi Keqi's dish is really beyond his expectations, not only did he not put salt and soy sauce, he didn't sprinkle green onions, and finally made the tofu like a piece of.

Shi Keqi stuck out his tongue and quickly poured out the plate of tofu.

At noon, two tables of guests got into a fight, damaged a few seats, and some cutlery was pulled by the guys. There are inevitably a few cases in the year, either drunk and causing trouble, or all kinds of trivial and broken things have conflicts.

Time flies, it's almost the Spring Festival, the weather is getting colder, and Master Zhu has never dared to come to work, in fact, it doesn't matter if he comes to Shi Keqi or not, the cow shopkeeper has also changed the chef. The Northern Zhou and Southern Dynasties here are roughly equivalent to the ancient dynasties of China, but they are not the Northern and Southern Dynasties in Chinese history, and the customs and habits are the same in major aspects, and festivals such as the Spring Festival are also celebrated.

One morning, not long after the opening of Xiangya Pavilion, a middle-aged man named Luo Chengjia, who often delivers meat and dry goods to the store, stopped in front of the store in a donkey cart, and unloaded half of the pork and some animal miscellaneous in the back kitchen. After looking for Shi Keqi to ask for pancreas and water, he went out and came in with a cloth bag from the donkey cart, and came to the cattle shopkeeper who had finished weighing the meat, untied the cloth bag and took out a piece of yellow square stone.

Xianbao said: "This is a strange thing that one of our relatives in the countryside found, it is very likely to be a treasure of heaven and earth, let us find a destined person in the city to sell, the cow shopkeeper is our old customer, I will send this good thing here, or you take a look at it first, and the price is easy to say." ”

The cow shopkeeper didn't take this stubble, and said with a smile: "I don't know your virtue yet, I'm afraid I've already looked for several houses, and no one wants to send me this. ”

Luo Chengjia beat his chest and said: "Look at what you said, I didn't send you the best and freshest oil that time, this time it was really from a poor relative in my hometown, I don't know what it is, I just thought you were well-informed, so I brought it to see." ”

The cow shopkeeper said: "Oh, tell me how it came about, but to make a long story short, you see that these people in the back kitchen have ears like rabbits, working absentmindedly." ”

Luo Chengjia quickly said: "The shopkeeper will joke, these people in the kitchen of your store are the best and sharpest I have ever seen, and there is no store in this city that can compare." "This guy can be a man, the shopkeeper joked that the kitchen is not good, he will not go along with it, offended several people in the kitchen, especially the master in charge, even if he can't change his supply qualifications, it's uncomfortable to pick on him.

He praised and said: "My relative lives in the mountains, and a few days ago he went to the river to catch fish, and he didn't catch any fish, but he caught a strange stone, which is very light, less than one-third of the weight of the same big stone, and no one in them knows what it is, so Baba's trustee gave it to me and wanted to exchange some money for the family." ”

"It's just a very light yellow stone, what's so strange, it's everywhere in the countryside, I'll give it to you for free if you want as much as you want. The shopkeeper took the stone and teased, although he thought that the stone was indeed light and peculiar, but it did not prevent him from saying derogatory words.

Luo Chengjia said: "Of course, this stone is not ordinary, or it will be said to be a strange stone, you shake it hard, you can hear the sound of water." ”

The cow shopkeeper put the stone in his ear and shook it according to his words, and there was a slight sound of water, which was difficult to hear without being very energetic. He said: "There is a sound, but what are you sending me to the store for a light stone with a sound, you don't go to the jade shop for identification, come to my restaurant, do you want to cook the stone for the guests to eat?"

Shi Keqi's heart jumped suddenly, he heard a sound very clearly, and the sound actually hooked his heart.
