Chapter 18: The Four Elephants, the Dragon and the Dog (I)
Although Jia Liyu knew that Hong Qigong would make a shining appearance in this place, it was not until Hong Qigong himself spoke out that he, like Jing Rong and the others, was able to see the true face of this martial arts legend Northern Beggar.
Square face, slight beard, wide hands and feet, a clean patch suit, holding a green bamboo stick, carrying a vermilion lacquer gourd, aged about forty years old, but Jia Liyu knows that people's kung fu has been practiced to a certain level, the spirit is sufficient, the skin is smooth and full, and others cannot tell his real age from his face.
Hong Qigong looked at the roast chicken in Huang Rong's hand with a salivating expression, and begged again: "Give me the chicken butt." ”
Guo Jing and Huang Rong stopped for a while, and was spontaneously stunned, Jia Liyu hurriedly took the roast chicken from Huang Rong's hand, tore half of the chicken butt and handed it to Hong Qigong.
Hong Qigong was unceremonious, snatched it, as if he was afraid that Jia Liyu would regret it, Huang Rong reacted quickly, seemed to vaguely guess something, and saw Hong Qigong eat half a chicken after dividing five by two, and said with a smile: "Second brother, you can give the remaining half to this senior." ”
Hong Qicheng was drinking, and when he heard Huang Rong say this, he hurriedly said modestly: "I'm so sorry, you little dolls haven't eaten yet, right?"
Huang Rong looked at Hong Qigong with a smile on her face, Jia Liyu knew that she was thinking about how to work hard for her brother Jing, and she happened to be in the same mind, and said sideways: "Looking at the seniors eating like this, they must be hungry." ”
Hong Qigong finished eating the other half of the chicken, sucked his fingers a few more times, and then shook his head and said: "I am always called Huazi, I don't eat like this because I am hungry, but I have to eat like this when I encounter delicious food, and the biggest problem in my life is greedy." ”
Jia Liyu just wanted to set out the attributes of Hong Qigong's foodie, and when he heard him say this, he hurriedly said: "The ancients said that food is sex, it is human instinct, how can it be considered a problem, if the world does not like to eat food, then those foods will be sad because they have no soulmate." ”
Hong Qigong was greatly appreciative when he heard this, and couldn't help nodding and said: "That's right, yes, the food also needs to be a bosom friend, otherwise it will be too lonely." ”
Jia Liyu pushed the boat down the river and said to Huang Rong: "Third sister, your cooking skills are unparalleled in the world, and today I have the fate to meet this bosom friend of the food, and I can't say that I want to show my hands." ”
Huang Rong had this intention and said: "Brother Najing, second brother, you will accompany the seniors here, and I will go to the front town to buy ingredients and condiments." ”
Jia Liyu said: "I'll go with my third sister." ”
Huang Rong thought about it and didn't refuse, the two walked a few miles south and came to a town, Huang Rong asked Jia Liyu: "Second brother, do you recognize who that person is?"
"The Seven Princes of the North Beggar. ”
Huang Rong nodded, and asked again: "What do you mean, second brother......
"Food for effort. ”
"Huh?"
Jia Liyu said with a smile: "The third sister wants the eldest brother to learn some skills, of course, she must also show some real skills." ”
Huang Rong was suddenly stunned, looked at Jia Liyu for a while, and said apologetically: "Second brother, I'm sorry." ”
"Huh?"
"I was suspicious of you before, when I first met my eldest brother, I thought you were deliberately approaching him and trying to cheat him out of his money and effort, but now I really know that I am completely wrong. ”
Jia Liyu also felt a little guilty in his heart, and said truthfully: "You didn't guess wrong, I really want to learn kung fu from you and my eldest brother." ”
Huang Rong shook her head and said, "That's not what I mean, in short, I later learned that you were sincere to me and my eldest brother." ”
Jia Liyu nodded with a smile and said, "What ingredients do we need to buy?"
What happened after that was the same as in Jia Liyu's memory, Huang Rong showed her wonderful cooking skills and carefully reorganized more than a dozen delicious dishes, which made Hong Qigong feast, but Hong Qigong threw a problem to the three of them when he decided to pass on the skills: "My set of kung fu can only be passed on to one person, and he is not allowed to pass it on, you are not suitable for this female baby to learn my set of kung fu, needless to say." Then they each glanced at Jia Liyu and Guo Jing, and continued: "As for the two of you, you need to discuss who will learn." ”
Guo Jing was about to recommend Jia Liyu, but Jia Liyu preemptively said: "I haven't practiced my basic skills yet, and I can't learn more advanced martial arts for a while. ”
Hong Qigong looked at Jia Liyu approvingly, and said: "You kid seems to be slippery, but your heart is not bad, you go, if the dishes are closed, I will not treat you badly." ”
Huang Rong and Jia Liyu knew that Hong Qigong was going to pass on kung fu and left happily, Huang Rong couldn't help but thank Jia Liyu again, and then asked, "What is the dish that the second brother said shook the past and the present?"
"It's called Buddha jumping over the wall. ”
"Buddha jumping over the wall?" Huang Rong thought for a while and asked, "What kind of dish is that?"
Jia Liyu said the ingredients and general methods according to memory, Huang Rong is good at this, naturally can draw inferences, the two went to the market to buy pigeon eggs, duck treasures, fish maw, pigeons, pork ribs, pork belly, lamb elbow, hoof tips, hoof tendons, chicken breast, duck breast, chicken gizzard, duck gizzard, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots and other ingredients, and bought wine jar lotus leaves, after going back, Jia Liyu briefly described the method, and Huang Rong still has scrutinized it. "The fire is boiling, simmering. After Huang Rong sealed the wine jar with lotus leaves, Jia Liyu reminded him like an endorsement.
Huang Rong nodded and said, "It will take two or three hours to stew." ”
"Hmm. ”
Huang Rong lit a fire, set up the wine jar, and turned her head to ask Jia Liyu: "How does the second brother know about this dish?"
"Eaten at home before. ”
Huang Rong nodded and said, "Buddha jumping over the wall, Buddha jumping over the wall, does that mean that the Buddha will jump over the wall to eat this dish when he sees it?"
"The third sister is smart. ”
The two talked again, Jia Liyu walked to the side and worked hard, Huang Rong was not interested in practicing martial arts, and guarded the Buddha jumping over the wall with both hands on her cheeks, and looked back at the second brother who was meditating for a while, with a look of admiration on her face, but she didn't know why.
Two and a half hours passed in a blink of an eye, Huang Rong took off the wine jar with a damp cloth, and just as Jia Liyu got up and said, "Third sister, don't uncover the lotus leaf first." ”
"I care. ”
Huang Rong put the wine jar into the food box, and then carried the food box and Jia Liyu to the woods to find Hong Qigong and Guo Jing, the two came to the woods and found Hong Qicheng lying on the horizontal branch of a big tree sleeping, while Guo Jing practiced palm techniques over and over again under the tree.
"Brother Jing, Qigong, the meal is here. ”
Hong Qigong bounced up from the tree and jumped down lightly, but he just took two steps, sniffed with his nose, and frowned: "Little carp, what kind of food do you kid say that shocks the past and the present, but I can't even smell the fragrance now, it's not nonsense, lie to my old man, right?"
Jia Liyu smiled: "How dare you." Turned his head and called Huang Rong: "Third sister, open the altar." ”
Huang Rong nodded with a smile, put down the food box, Hong Qigong hurriedly came up, saw the wine jar, and said curiously: "Wine? I have wine, why do you want to ......" Before the words fell, Huang Rong unveiled the lotus leaf, and a burst of meat fragrance that went straight into the stomach and spleen came to the nose, Hong Qigong was stunned on the spot, closed his eyes to smell the aroma, and his face was intoxicated.
"Qigong, how is this dish?"
"Delicious in the world, definitely delicious in the world. Hong Qigong said again and again: "It's just that this fragrance has made people linger." ”
Guo Jing, who was concentrating on practicing over there, couldn't help but feel the aroma in the sky when he smelled the fragrance in the sky.
Jia Liyu said: "Then please ask the Seven Princes to comment on my Buddha jumping over the wall." ”
Hong Qigong nodded and said, "Pin, Pin, let me have a good taste." ”
Huang Rong took a bowl and handed it to Hong Qigong, Hong Qigong was not too hot, he ate a few bites in a daze, and then shook his head and praised: "After seeing you, I realized that all I used to eat was coarse tea and light rice, and I will have another bowl." ”
Huang Rong served him another bowl, and Hong Qigong remembered and asked, "Little carp, what did you just say about the name of this dish?"
"Buddha jumped over the wall. ”
"Buddha jumping over the wall?"
"That's right. Jia Liyu shook his head and said: "The altar Qi meat incense floats around, and the Buddha hears that he abandons Zen and jumps over the wall, so the name Buddha jumps over the wall." ”
Hong Qigong laughed when he heard this, and said: "A good sentence "Buddha abandons Zen and jumps over the wall", a good greedy Buddha, a good Buddha jumping over the wall. ”
"It's good if Qigong likes it. ”
Hong Qigong ate a few bowls one after another, and saw that there was not much left in the altar, so he said: "The rest of you little dolls can share it, it's so delicious, you can't cheap me alone." ”
Huang Rong said: "Qigong likes it, we can make it for you every day." ”
Hong Qigong smiled and said nothing, looked at Huang Rong and Jia Liyu for a while, and said, "You two come here." ”
Huang Rong and Jia Liyu walked over, and Hong Qi said fairly: "I have a word to make clear to you, Rong'er, you cook for me to eat, it's for your stupid brother, I always say that Hua doesn't owe you, but little carp, what are you for?"
Jia Liyu said: "I have the same idea as the third sister. ”
Hong Qigong shook his head and said: "You are not, I can see that you have something to ask for, but I can't see what you are asking for, the little carp is no less thoughtful than the ghost elf Rong'er." ”
Huang Rong took the opportunity to say: "The second brother wants to worship the seventh prince as your old man's teacher, and several stinky Taoist priests in Quanzhen wanted to accept the second brother as an apprentice, but the second brother thought that their martial arts were low, so they refused together, and only said that he wanted to worship the seventh prince as a teacher." "Huang Rong really didn't have a good impression of them because Wang Chuyi, Ma Yu and others forced Guo Jing to marry Mu Nianci.
Hong Qi said fairly: "I always call Huazi not to accept apprentices, who in the world doesn't know?"
Jia Liyu said: "I just don't want to disrupt the kindness of a few seniors. ”
Hong Qigong stared at Jia Liyu for a while, and said, "No matter what your purpose is, if I eat your Buddha jumping over the wall, I won't eat it in vain." In this way, I will first teach you a set of free swimming boxing methods, so that you are busy in the past few days to clean up the food for me, in addition, little carp, I will pass you a stick method, which is regarded as repaying you for the favor of the Buddha jumping over the wall, do you agree?"
Of course, Huang Rong had no opinion, Jia Liyu said: "That's what we earned." ”
Hong Qigong didn't say much more, and suddenly jumped up lightly, his big sleeves flew, jumping east and west, and his body was extremely light.
Jia Liyu was distracted for a moment: "When I learn this set of free-swimming boxing techniques, I will go back." ”
