The night sinks like water, the dark sky seems to be a huge iron pot shrouded in H City, there is no moon and no stars, if it weren't for the snow on the ground still emitting a glowing white light, then this is a ghostly hell.

Chaohu Road, is a small road in the center of the city, along the Nanqi River that runs through H City, it is a park for people to walk and play during the day, and it is a quiet and desolate road at night, there are rows of French plane trees planted on the west side of the road, each lesson has more than ten years, the plane tree is a deciduous tree, in this season, it has no leaves and adds a touch of desolation.

Further west is a row of shops that are not very big, there are those who sell wine, there are those who buy stationery, there are those who buy all kinds of snacks for breakfast, the most striking thing in this dark night should be the only one in the middle of the small shop with neon lights, Ding Laosi dog meat restaurant, this is an old shop, the old store naturally has the rules of the old store, only open for three months a year, November, December and January, the rest of the time is closed, the dog meat in the store is also the freshest, and it is also non-toxic, it is said that the owner Ding Laosi opened his own dog farm.

In winter, if you eat steaming dog meat around a table in the cold winter, plus a plate of peanuts and half a pot of good wine, it is a good thing, Ding Laosi has his own praised wine, fifty-two degrees of deer blood wine, naturally deer blood will not be cheap, a pound is about three hundred, but even if it is so expensive, there are not many people who drink him, this is the pain and happiness that only middle-aged men can understand, deer blood wine, I heard the boss say that it was the wine drunk by the emperor of the palace back then.

In the cold wind, a small square table stood, and on the table was a burning charcoal stove, and the red charcoal fire danced wildly like a fire snake, because the wind outside was too strong, and there was no casserole lid on the charcoal stove. Casserole, people who can eat know that the casserole should be used to roast meat, because the casserole can maximize the umami of the meat, and dog meat is naturally unavoidable, in addition to the umami casserole can also cover up the earthy smell of dog meat.

Mo Bai sat at the table and looked at the fire snake in the charcoal stove, there was a red copper wine pot and two wine glasses in front of him, the celadon wine glass, the spout was steaming, and it was not filled with deer blood wine, which Mo Bai brought by himself, the red copper pot and celadon cup were also brought by him, Ding Laosi Dog Meat Restaurant is a place he often comes to this season, order half a dog meat pot, drink a pot of good wine, it is very pleasant, the most important thing is in this cold winter, it seems that only hot dog meat can add a little temperature.

"Come on, be objective and careful!" Familiar voice, the shopkeeper slowly walked over with a casserole, this is the tone of the ancient era is also the costume of the ancient times, the casserole is not big but not small, the two of them can't finish eating, the hot casserole is placed on the charcoal stove, Xiao Er picked up the lid of the pot and said: "The guest officer uses it slowly, it's delicious and delicious!" Before he could finish speaking, the man had already walked into the store, but the voice still echoed on the short and long road.

It is said that in such a season, sitting in the store full of heat is warmer and more atmosphere, but Mo Bai does not like it, he likes to drink quietly alone and quietly taste the deliciousness of dog meat, and give himself a glass of wine, the brown wine enters the cup with heat and enters Mo Bai's mouth with heat, takes a deep breath, and a strong medicinal fragrance rushes straight to the brain to make people feel sober instantly, this is Mo Bai soaked himself, brewed with old Huadiao and some Chinese medicine, the amount is not much, and ordinary people can't drink it.

Long chopsticks into the pot to pick up a piece of dog meat with thick soup, chopsticks are bamboo chopsticks, twice as long as ordinary chopsticks, dog meat in the process of coming out of the casserole and then into the mouth, the temperature has dropped a lot, still a little hot, but it is this hot is the true meaning of eating hot pot. Dog meat, not so fat compared to pork, softer than beef, different places and different ways to eat, Chaozhou people like braised dog meat, Raoping's white cut dog meat, Yangjiang people stew dog meat like to add medicinal materials, Zhanjiang Liangguang area like white dog, the taste is the most unique should belong to Guizhou's sour soup dog meat, and in H City, it is the most popular dog meat hot pot, the first day the dog meat is cooked, the next day when the guests eat the red soup or white soup to concoct according to law, this is the most common cooking method, the tenderness of sheep, the fragrance of rabbit, The freshness of the chicken is all in one, but as far as Mo Bai knows, the dog meat in the Ding Laosi dog meat restaurant is freshly cooked, cooked and boiled with green and red peppers, sesame peppers, star anise, cinnamon and brown sugar to turn red, and finally poured into a casserole and simmered slowly.

A mouthful of dog meat, a mouthful of peanuts, plus a mouthful of Huadiao, seven or eight flavors gathered on the tip of the tongue and exploded, Mo Bai couldn't help but sigh, "If you don't come out yet, if you don't come out, the wine will be over!" ”

After he finished speaking, a figure appeared opposite him, silent, as if he was standing there, the person with white hair and hair was wearing a gray Taoist robe, and the fairy wind was Zhang Daochang, who was accompanying Qi Nature to watch the house.

"You kid, don't wait for me?" Zhang Shunzhi said angrily that although he looked like an old man in his seventies, he was burly like a man in his prime.

Mo Bai took a sip of wine, pouted and said: "Your old man is not a small man, and he is not afraid to flash his waist if he jumps up and down like this, don't worry, tonight's wine pipe is full of meat!" ”

Zhang Shunzhi grinned, bent down and directly picked up a piece of dog meat in the pot with his hand and threw it into his mouth, how obscene it was to eat, and then sat sideways with one leg on the table, where there was a little bit of an old fairy appearance of fairy wind bones, "You are really happy this little day, I want to eat nothing in Wudang Mountain, and a bird is about to fade out of my mouth!" ”

"Here, take a sip!" Mo Bai gave him a glass of wine and handed it over, this is Zhang Shunzhi's favorite wine, "I'm afraid I made a lot of money this time, right?" ”

"Phew! Don't you know yet? Isn't it all about telling the master and his old man how much to fish, I can earn at most a travel fee, how can you kid be at ease! Zhang Shunzhi said as he ate hot dog meat and poured wine to himself.

Mo Bai seemed to feel sorry for Zhang Shunzhi, and kept putting dog meat in his bowl, "Master, is his old man okay now?" are all over one hundred and forty years old, let him toss less! ”

Zhang Shunzhi put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Mo Bai, but his mouth was stuffed with dog meat and wanted to say it but he couldn't say it, and he slowed down for a while before scolding: "You are embarrassed to say, you left a lot of messes and ran away by yourself, this will be distressing, senior brother, I am an old man in my nineties, why don't you feel distressed when you run around for you, to be honest, it is much easier for you not to be in his old man's house than before, but I often ask you intentionally or unintentionally!" ”

Mo Bai smiled bitterly, didn't know what to say for a while, took a drink from the wine glass, and said with a long breath: "After waiting for a year, I will go back to see his old man, by the way, are the gold and big flowers okay?" ”

Zhang Shunzhi stroked his white beard stained with oil and said: "In the past, you often took it to the mountains to hunt, eating and drinking, as soon as you left, the two dogs seemed to have no owner, and they had nothing to eat. ”

"Oh!" Mo Bai's voice was a little hoarse, "It's good to be thinner, it's healthy to be thinner, I used to eat too well and fat people don't look like dogs!" ”

"Well, don't worry, there are senior brothers who can't starve to death, but that girl, who comes to Zixiao Palace every year to visit the master and his old man, saying that he is visiting the master, but in fact it is for you, why do you say that you are so ruthless to leave her a miserable person......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Mo Bai shout: "Senior brother, drink!" Mo Bai drank three cups in a row, as if to suppress the sorrow and pain that kept surging in his heart, "It's not for her good to leave her, if I don't leave, I'm afraid she won't be alive now!" ”

"Alas!"

"Alas!"

Wine glasses collide, everything is in the wine, everything is in the words, some things are buried in the heart is the best, there is no taste to say it, there is no meaning, people will always be like this, for many things will be ambiguous and difficult, unable to make a choice, for fear of one step wrong regret life, but people's life is so short, I remember Chow Yun-fat once said: you have a lot of things you can't let go, be a man to be chic, love someone does not have to be with her for a lifetime, I like a flower does not necessarily have to pick it down, I love the wind, do you want it to stop and let me smell it? I like clouds, do I let the clouds float down and cover me, sometimes I lose myself if I take care of other people's feelings too much, I go gently, just as I come gently, wave my sleeves, and don't take away a cloud......
