Chen Xihe followed Bai Xiaosheng and said a few words to Qi Shiguan.

Hearing the sound of fighting behind them, they took the initiative to say goodbye and headed towards the Boundless Academy.

On the way, Bai Xiaosheng wiped his sweat, his face was ruddy, but he also asked with a very gossipy look: "He and the butcher turned out to be acquainted with the eldest disciple of the Qishan faction. The last time I heard that he was also staying here, he said that he didn't want to leave for the sake of his beloved woman. And the butcher knows? “

When Chen Xihe heard this, his eyes teased, and he smiled: "Is it?" Bai Xiaosheng doesn't know, how can I know? True love makes people blind. The people of the four major sects, I am afraid there is no shortage of people who love them. “

The two of them said and walked towards the academy in the distance.

Chen Xihe looked at the location of the academy in front of him, on the mountainside of the East Mountain.

There are no shops around, more poetic scenery, Chen Xihe touched the newly sprouted treetops, looking at the surrounding artificially planted, but also lived for a long time trees, it is very novel.

"It turns out that this academy is in the mountains and forests."

She muttered to herself, eager to see the place where the ancients studied and lived.

Bai Xiaosheng saw the curiosity in her eyes, so he introduced: "Wuya Academy was originally established a hundred years ago, and the teachers here are very old, and several of them are retired and live in seclusion. In the town, in addition to the basic names, ordinary students can only spend a lot of money to study after becoming children. ”

When Chen Xihe heard the bell, he remembered that Zhao Xiucai was probably also a good reader, so he could enter.

The academy was hidden in the forest, Bai Xiaosheng knocked on the door, and the gatekeeper at the door saw this, "Who is it?" “

Bai Xiaosheng replied: "The butcher recruited by the back kitchen, I found one. I'm sorry to open the door, I'll go in and find Mr. Xu. “

The uncle looked around and opened the door as well.

"You little arms and legs, there is already a butcher inside, I'm afraid you won't be able to choose."

The gatekeeper persuaded him, and when he saw Chen Xihe carrying a basket, his eyes were also hesitant.

"I'm afraid this woman can't enter, Mr. Xu ordered that the woman can't appear in the front yard, the realm where scholars study."

Bai Xiaosheng saw that he admitted his mistake, so he said: "Uncle, this is a famous butcher in the town, and his skills are unique, I brought someone here." We went straight to the back kitchen. “

After speaking, he hurriedly pulled Chen Xihe in.

I walked the gravel-paved path at the border.

"It's a big place with a lot of reputation and rules, and we don't have contact with it on weekdays, so we can only have less contact with other people."

Although Bai Xiaosheng also knew that Chen Xihe was capable, he also saw that she was young, for fear that she would not understand some etiquette and be bullied.

Along the way, he talked about the rules of this academy.

"Plus you are beautiful, don't have too much contact with others, after you do things well, you will be paid."

Chen Xihe also walked briskly, looking at the scenery around the path, he couldn't see the outside, and he also responded to Bai Xiaosheng's words.

"I know."

The two of them went to the kitchen, and sure enough, they saw a butcher and waited with their apprentices in the side of the place.

Seeing that someone was coming, the butcher who took the lead looked at the person who came, and when he saw the woman carrying the guy who killed the pig on his back, he also looked at her deeply.

The disciple on the side said, "Master, she is the female butcher of Anyuan Town that others have been preaching. ”

His master looked over, his face was full of horizontal meat, pulling his face, and walked towards Chen Xihe.

"You're looking for a job, too? Little girl. ”

He looked at Chen Xihe condescendingly and sighed. The momentum is violent, which makes others look a little frightened!

Chen Xihe's face did not change at all, she raised her head, looked at the tall butcher, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I am Ah He from Anyuan Town, dare to ask your name?" ”

The people in front of him showed a fierce light, staring at Chen Xihe deadly, the eyes of the two were staggered, and under the obviously calm gaze, it was indeed a sword and a sword shadow.

This is the first battle.

"A knife in Honghu County, it seems that now the world is reversed, and the woman has also come to do the work of killing pigs."

Chen Xihe's face did not change after hearing this, he still looked at his eyes and said: "The world is always changing, if people do not change, they will become scrap metal." Women, men only, kill pigs, just good knife skills. ”

After hearing the knife in front of him, he saw that the woman did not retreat at all, and he also had a bottom in his heart.

He smiled and said, "Whether the knife technique is good or not, you can know it with your hands." Where to learn, etiquette and morality are the first point. ”

Chen Xihe was unmoved.

"Etiquette and morality, since I was a child, the elders in the family have taught me personally, and I can't help but worry about you."

The tense appearance of the two of them made Bai Xiaosheng on the side surprised. It also attracted a lot of people who were busy in the kitchen to come out to watch the play, looking at the appearance of the two, everyone knocked melon seeds and watched the play.

Are butchers so rolled up like this now? Killing a pig and selling meat are more imposing than the Jianghu people you meet on weekdays.

He looked at the appearance of the two, for fear that the two would fight, and planned to step forward and pull away at any time.

Suddenly, I heard a serious and majestic voice, "Boundless Academy, it is strictly forbidden to cause conflicts, fights, and brawls. ”

After hearing the voice, Chen Xihe turned his head to look over. The people working on the side also changed their lazy appearance and got up to greet them.

"Mr. Xu."

When Bai Xiaosheng saw Mr. Xu coming, he also saluted respectfully, "Sir, I have already found the butcher you asked me to find." “

Chen Xihe looked at the dignified white-bearded old man in front of him, and also saluted.

"Mr. Xu, Ah He in Xia Anyuan Town."

Mr. Xu's face still maintained his majesty, and a knife on the side also saluted respectfully.

"Mr. Xu, I'm here again with a knife. I want to know this time, why didn't you want me last time, now that Master Qi has an accident, no one in the county is better than me. You're going to have to have me this time. “

As soon as he heard this, Chen Xihe also looked at the two of them curiously, what? Is this here to find fault?

Or do you know?

After suddenly looking at Mr. Xu, Chen Xihe upheld the respect for the teacher in his bones, and obediently lowered his head.

"A knife, anyone like me in the Boundless Academy, must throw away their anger, literacy and writing, it is indispensable."

Chen Xihe frowned and looked at Bai Xiaosheng: Why is there still this?

Bai Xiaosheng also responded with his eyes: I don't know.

Obviously they are looking for a job, although they want to match the boss's professional philosophy, but they come to kill pigs and chop meat, how can they not be angry, isn't this embarrassing?

Chen Xihe is also a little little ninety-nine in his heart.

She took a closer look at today's clothes, it should be okay~

However, this knife, I'm afraid it's going to be angry~

She looked up at a knife to hear how he responded.

"Mr. Xu, I understand a knife, but I am also literate and don't fight with others now, why don't you let me come?"

Listen to a knife speak eagerly.

That's right? Why? Chen Xihe looked at Mr. Xu again.

Seeing that he was so sincere, Mr. Xu said: "Now that you have an elder in your family, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the family, how can you come to Boundless Academy from your heart, last time you lost Master Qi in your craft, and now we have to choose people according to the previous competition." “

Hearing this, Chen Xihe puffed up his chest and looked at them calmly, waiting for the arrangement.

A knife is also eager, he looked at Chen Xihe, with a murderous aura in his eyes.

Chen Xihe smiled slightly.

Mr. Xu didn't communicate, and directly arranged: "Bring the meat prepared in advance." “

Several young men carried two unprocessed pigs in front of them.

They struggled to move, and Chen Xihe was about to take over the move, but saw that a knife had already carried half of his own.

Seeing this, Chen Xihe also took over and put the meat directly and easily on the board.

Seeing this, the people on the side were also slightly surprised.

When it was ready, I saw that several trays were brought.

Mr. Xu said, "Handle the pork in front of you and place it on a tray according to the quality of the meat." “

Bai Xiaosheng saw that Mr. Xu would let them compete like this, and when they entered the Boundless Academy, even those who specialize in killing pigs had to be fine?

Extraordinary indeed.

saw that Mr. Xu's face remained the same, and he sat in the prepared position.

His face was very calm.

Chen Xihe drew his knife and sharpened the blade.

The people around watched with curiosity as the butcher handled the pork, and the spectators secretly watched while working in the corner.

I want to know how Chen Xi and such a little girl divide pork.

Chen Xihe took out a knife and processed the rough cut pork edges.

Then, he took out the meat dividing knife, and the knife fell with his hand, easily separating the bone from the flesh.

It looks as easy as if you were cutting cloth.

Chen Xihe looked at the pig carefully, and after turning it over easily, he dropped the various parts of the pork with a knife and separated them easily.

A knife on the side is not affected, and the craftsmanship is also skillful.

Against the backdrop of the two, they move freely, and they are very exciting to watch.

The meat knife came to Chen Xihe's hand, she turned the long knife, pressed the meat next to her, and placed it on the plate from front to back.

Pig's head, bone meat, shoulder blade meat, plum meat, foreleg meat, tenderloin, pork belly, meat on the pointed part of the buttocks, meat on the buttocks, meat on the hind legs, hooves, pig's feet.

In the end, Chen Xihe cut the pork neck, also known as the golden six taels of meat, separately; There is also liver and meat, and the only piece of lean meat in the internal organs; Tiger's paw, the ligaments and cartilage tissue of the pig's knee. It's all put out separately.

Carefully separated, Chen Xihe was placed in an orderly manner.

Then, she took the ribs to the board, took out a bone chopping knife, cut it decisively, and instantly divided it into several parts.

The knife fell and fell, and everyone didn't dare to close their eyes, but they saw that she quickly dealt with it.

After the meat on the tray was divided, Chen Xihe took out the prepared strips of cloth and dipped them in water to clean up the surroundings.

When she stopped, she found a knife on one side carefully examining the meat on her tray.

"Good craftsmanship."

He exclaimed unconsciously.

Chen Xihe bowed his head and thanked him.

Bai Xiaosheng was also enthusiastic, and he was also amazed, it turned out that he had done things to the extreme, practice makes perfect, and even the bloody work of killing pigs was amazing.

When Mr. Xu saw the two of them stop, he said to a knife: "A knife, you act informally, you can see it from your craftsmanship." The devil is in the details. I think Master Qi also said it to you last time, but you didn't correct it. “

A knife is now in the age of a weak crown, he was rescued by Mr. Xu drunk, and he has always wanted to get close to him and become his student.

But he knew that Boundless Academy didn't admit students like him, and he wouldn't force it.

I never thought that after a few failures, he couldn't even be the butcher of Boundless Academy.

He stood in place, also looking at Chen Xihe. Why? Why can she?

"Are you born in Anyuan Town?"

Mr. Xu asked.

Chen Xihe nodded and responded, "My grandfather and I came down from the mountain to Anyuan Town. “

Mr. Xu looked at Chen Xihe's face, and there was no trace of relaxation. His eyes were filled with suppressed thoughts, and he seemed extraordinarily calm.

"It's up to you to answer this errand here."

Chen Xihe smiled and responded.

A knife on the side was also with his head down, and he looked even more sad as a big man.

"Mr. Xu." He tilted his head, his eyes full of persistence, as if he wanted to pray to stay again.

Mr. Xu looked at him without the slightest emotion in his eyes.

"Since you want to repay me, live your own life, don't force it, Boundless Academy is not suitable for you."

A knife gritted his teeth, "Mr. Xu, I will not give up, I will definitely do things for you." “

Chen Xihe saw that he was so persistent, and he also found deep affection, but wouldn't this Mr. Xu go down the mountain for the rest of his life? How could he have made such a determination?

"In that case, let's go home."

After Mr. Xu handed over Chen Xi and the door number and left, the people on the side rushed up and settled Chen Xi's doubts.

"Mr. Xu, Xu Wenren. He is an official doctor of the two dynasties, and since he retired from the period of the first emperor, he has been founding the Boundless Academy, which is bound to cultivate talents for the Chengen country. He swore that as long as there were people who sought teachers and learned from him, he would not go down the mountain. ”

"Yes, Mr. Xu has always been hands-on, and we were all selected by Mr. Xu. The rules of Boundless Academy are to follow etiquette, be diligent and inquisitive, and also open a study room for us. Let's read a book, too. ”

Chen Xihe listened to the people in the kitchen on the side, and she also found that this Mr. Xu was really different from ordinary people.

He is willing to give kindness and give knowledge, but he also has a choice.

She noticed that the people around her were not fools, they were all serious and organized.

Xiaoqin, the little girl on the cutting board on the side, looked at Chen Xihe's face and asked curiously: "Sister Ahe, you are obviously so beautiful, you are still a girl, how can you kill pigs, I don't even dare to look at it." ”

Chen Xihe dealt with the stall, looked at her and said: "I have been studying since I was a child, and my grandfather at home gave me this craft, if it is not for some forced situation, I will not let it go." ”

After hearing this, Xiaoqin also said enviously: "It's so good, your knife just now is very good-looking, and I don't know when I will become the chef in charge." ”

Chen Xihe saw that she had such a dream, "As Mr. Xu said, be diligent and inquisitive, and you will become a chef in the future." ”

Xiaoqin is also very happy, after all, there is a sister of the same age as her here.

"Of course I will." Her eyes were full of light and hope.

The chef said angrily: "Xiaoqin, you cut the vegetables, and you are still delaying time there?" ”

Xiao Qin was excited, and hurriedly turned her head and ran over.

"Here we are, master."

Chen Xihe was waiting for Bai Xiaosheng in the corner outside the house, and today's task was completed.

She came here, with a little money, and wanted to experience a different life.

Avoiding the people around her, she jumped to the trunk of a tree on the roof of the house and sat on it looking around.

It is a separate courtyard, separated by an artificial river in the distance.

Clearly separate the two places.

must have really responded to the phrase "a gentleman is far away from cooking".

At this time, Chen Xihe saw Bai Xiaosheng coming out of the pavilion in the distance.

She jumped off too.

Bai Xiaosheng arrived in the house, and he was also talking about the recent events in the outside world.

Mr. Xu listened quietly and took the booklet handed over by Bai Xiaosheng.

"Now that it's so disrupted outside, is there a solution?"

When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, he said: "The imperial court sent General Wen and transferred him back from outside Qiling. “

When Mr. Xu saw the explosion of Shishan, he said: "The road between Qian'an and Qiling has been opened. “

Bai Xiaosheng also understood in the blink of an eye.

Stone Mountain is so noisy, people in the Qiling area will also notice.

"But now the people over there are not happy, and the idle prince is ineffective after all."

When Mr. Xu heard this, he was also powerless.

"In troubled times, there are people with lofty ideals to go, and if the times are uneven, I am afraid it will be difficult to move forward."

I remembered today's girl.

"Bai Xiaosheng, that Ah He girl, do you know what happened in the past?"

Bai Xiaosheng reacted, "No, this girl is very human, resolute, but very smart. Although I am willing to deal with her, I am also a gentleman's friend. ”

After Mr. Xu found out, he let Bai Xiaosheng leave.

————

"You're in the limelight today."

Chen Xihe saw him and said, "Thank you for your recommendation, after you go down the mountain, I will invite you to dinner." ”

Bai Xiaosheng refused. It can only be done.

But on the way back, I saw a knife.

He is now accompanied by his little apprentice, with a cold face, standing in the forest, and he looks a little scary in this forest.

After Chen Xihe saw it, his face did not change at all, and he was not afraid of him, and walked straight forward.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at it worriedly, for fear that if he took a knife, he would die if he was dissatisfied.

"Stop, Ah, butcher." A knife stopped Chen Xihe.

Chen Xihe turned to look at him, his eyes were very sharp, and he raised his eyes. "What?"

A knife with a large knife behind him stepped forward. It's very ferocious.

But he heard him say.

"I'm afraid I won't come again in the future, Mr. Xu is a generous person, you just stay alive."

When Chen Xihe heard his words, he felt a little like going out.

How?

"I will practice my craft well, if I kill a pig with a knife, I am no worse than you."

Chen Xihe heard it, but he was also unconvinced.

"Not necessarily, I'll wait to see what you can do."

A knife also left with resentment, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, and his aggressive appearance made Bai Xiaosheng take a step back. After he left, he stepped forward to speak, when he heard Chen Xihe sigh.

"It's really young and vigorous~"

Chen Xihe sighed and shook his head, very helpless.

"You're only a few years old now, such an old town."

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Chen Xihe, he can still be an adult!
