Chapter 33 Wine and Meat, Forgotten New Year's Friend
Fang Ning left the auction house, did not rush to cultivate the cheats, and did not go home immediately, but went to the home of his friend Shi Zhengang.
Shi Zhengang's home is located in the north of the city, his family has been a butcher for generations, and it has become bigger and bigger over the years, almost half of the pork in Kezhou City is supplied by his family, and more than ten pigs are killed a day.
Fang Ning entered the Shi family, and saw Shi Zhengang working there from a distance, holding a steel knife, preparing to slaughter a fat pig, he was not a young master, he had to work at home, so He Shiren would laugh at him for having a pig commotion.
Seeing Fang Ning here, Shi Zhengang shouted: "Brother Ning, here, come in, when I kill this big pig, I will go over to accompany you." ”
Fang Ning said, "I'm not looking for you, isn't my uncle here?"
Shi Zhengang's father, Shi Qiang, walked out and said, "Xiao Ning is here, what are you looking for me?" Gangzi, cut ten catties of good meat for Xiao Ning, and take it back to replenish his body. ”
A pound of meat is fifty wen, and ten catties is five silver dollars, a lot of face, it would never be like this before, it seems that Shi Zhengang told his father about gambling money for Fang Ning.
Fang Ning said: "No need, uncle, I came here this time for something, I want to buy some of your Shi family's refined compartment meat, I don't know if you still have it here, uncle?"
Compartment meat is the most beautiful and best meat on the pig, no more than a foot long, no more than three fingers wide, between the pig's chest cavity and abdominal cavity, a pig at most has a pound of compartment meat, the meat is tough, fresh and sweet taste, with a special fragrance, the market does not sell, generally after the butcher kills the pig, he keeps it to eat.
When killing pigs, use secret methods to kill pigs and stimulate the pig's body, so that there will be wonderful changes, each pound of compartment meat will sometimes produce one or two taels of refined compartment meat, the essence of the essence, a pound is worth at least eighty silver dollars.
Shi Bo heard Fang Ning's words and said:
"What to buy, I'll take you two taels and go back to try it. It's not that the uncle is stingy, it's really difficult to refine the meat. ”
This is a great favor, it takes at least three pigs to get these refined partition meats, but Fang Ning shook his head, took out two golden heads, and said:
"Give me a catty, and I'll book another catty tomorrow, it must be bought, uncle, this meat is not for me, I am also for others, so you must accept this money." ”
Shi Bo pushed it a few more times, like a fight, and finally at Fang Ning's insistence, he had to accept it, and asked Shi Zhengang to bring a pound of refined partition meat in the backyard, carefully wrapped in oil paper, and it looked like it was no different from ordinary pork.
Fang Ning took the pork to say goodbye, returned home, and said to the other mother: "Mother, I remember that every time the Chinese New Year, you will fry some small meatballs for me and my father to eat, the meatballs are so delicious, I have a favor to return."
Mom, you can use this meat to help me make some small meatballs, which are the kind of meatballs that our family eats during the New Year. ”
Fang Mu glanced at Fang Ning and said, "This is the Shi family's refined meat, this person is not light, okay, I'll do it right away, but it will take an hour before I can make it." ”
After saying that Fang's mother went to make meatballs, Fang Ning said to Steward Shi: "Uncle Shi, you go to Daoxiang Village and go to find Zhu Jian, that's my classmate, you tell him that I want to buy their four-color pastries, and I want the best."
Then you go to the Tongfu Inn to buy me their best wine fairy drunk, then go to the Jade House to buy their special crystal elbows, and go to the Nameless House to buy their most famous four big fried ......"
After Fang Ning finished speaking, he handed Steward Shi three gold yuan, these were the best wines, pastries and delicacies in Kezhou City, and the price was also the most expensive, so he asked for those three gold yuan, so as not to be enough.
Steward Shi immediately started to act, Fang Ning sat on the bench, looking at the jade bamboo slip in his hand, this jade bamboo slip recorded the supreme sword technique Ziqing Erxin Divine Light Sword, cultivating it, he could master the supreme sword technique and enter the innate realm.
It's not that he is not in a hurry, cultivating the cheats, it's not just taking them casually, among Gu Tiannan's professors, Fang Ning knows that this kind of cheats that can only be cultivated once, and need to establish the heart demon oath, need to bathe and change clothes, calm down, and reach the best state of the body, and then cultivate very solemnly, in order to comprehend all the mysteries, if you take it and practice, maybe you will only comprehend seven or eight of the mysteries, and miss countless essences.
So Fang Ning was not in a hurry, after waiting for an hour, Steward Shi returned, bought all the pastries, wines and dishes he wanted, and Fang's mother's little meatballs were all fried, Fang Ning packed up, carried a food box, left the house, and went straight to the second floor of the auction house.
Entering the second floor, Fang Ning came to Shopkeeper Xue, and when Shopkeeper Xue saw Fang Ning, he couldn't help frowning and said, "You are here again, what are the new tricks this time?"
Fang Ning smiled and said, "I don't think Uncle Xue is from our Kezhou, he should live in the dormitory of the auction house and eat in the canteen, the food there must be very bad."
So I went home and begged my mother to make some wine and food, and asked Uncle Xue to taste it, although these wine dishes are simple, but this is my mother's own hand, and they have the taste of home. ”
After speaking, he handed over the food box. Hearing the smell of home, Shopkeeper Xue did not refuse, frowned and disappeared, began to smile, looked at Fang Ning, and said: "The discount of five thousand gold yuan is exchanged for such a meal, and I will lose to death." ”
Then he opened the food box and was about to eat it on the spot.
Fang Ning was taken aback and said, "Uncle Xue, this is the second floor of the auction house!"
He reminded Shopkeeper Xue that this is an auction house, and there are other people, how can they eat on the spot?
Shopkeeper Xue smiled and said, "Don't worry, under my spell, they can't see what I do."
Come, you can also come and drink two glasses with me, it's not interesting for me to drink alone. ”
Fang Ning walked over and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders." ”
The two of them sat in the auction house and began to eat and drink, and the customers around them, whether they were shoppers or the employees of the auction house, ignored the two of them, even if they walked by them, as if they could not see them.
Fang Ning's specially selected wine and food, although it is among the best in Kezhou City, but for Shopkeeper Xue, it is just an ordinary wine and food, and he doesn't care at all.
Shopkeeper Xue poured Fang Ning a glass of wine and said, "Come, take a sip with me." ”
Fang Ning drank it all with his mouth up, this was the first time he drank alcohol, it was very refreshing to watch others drink before, but when it was his turn to drink, he suddenly felt that his chest was unbearable, and he couldn't help coughing vigorously, and the shopkeeper Xue laughed when he saw it.
Shopkeeper Xue poured another cup for Fang Ning and said:
"Another cup, the first cup is the same, this cup is in the content, when you drink the second cup, you will feel happy. ”
Fang Ning gritted his teeth, took another sip, and suddenly it was still so spicy, but in this spicy, with a hint of boldness, with an indescribable pleasure, life should be a big deal, enjoyable, the troubles dissipated, the mood was comfortable, he couldn't help but let out a breath, learned from others, and said: "Good wine." ”
Seeing Fang Ning learning from others, Shopkeeper Xue laughed even more, the two of them drank here, chatting casually, one word for you, one word for me, Fang Ning intuitively felt that this Uncle Xue might not be very old.
