43. It's cold, eat something hot

Out of the dumpling restaurant, Bai Gu and the three of them wandered around the street to eat.

It's not that Bai Gu and the young Taoist need it, it's mainly that Wu Lao doesn't have a lot of food, and he is still a few years old, so he is afraid of accumulating food.

For Bai Gu, those three plates of dumplings are at most seven points full, and another plate is about the same.

As for the young Taoist, he also ate a plate of dumplings in the dumpling restaurant, plus the few dumplings left on Wu Lao's plate, which is not much.

Just didn't take a few steps, Bai Gu bowed to Wu Lao and said, "Wu Lao, I still have some things, go first." ”

Wu Lao nodded, "Okay, pay attention to safety." ”

Wu Lao thought for a moment, "Xiaobai, you can help me reply to that Doctor Liu." My family has a big business, and there are a lot of cotton clothes, so I'm not afraid of this winter. Dr. Liu should also pay attention to keeping warm, if there are not enough cotton clothes, you can come to me to get them. ”

Bai Gu answered, turned around and left.

The young Taoist saw that Bai Gu had gone away, came to Wu Lao's side, and asked cautiously, "Does Wu Lao have a conflict with this kid?" ”

Wu Lao smiled bitterly: "The dragon has reverse scales, the phoenix has a weak neck, let alone a newborn calf?" ”

"Huh?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I asked something that shouldn't be asked, which annoyed Xiaobai. I had no choice but to invite him to a meal to cool off. However, this kid is probably still holding his breath in his heart. Wu Lao shook his head helplessly.

The young Taoist looked surprised, "Old Wu, what is your identity, as for being so good with this stinky boy?" ”

Wu Lao slowly raised his head and looked into the distance, "He went to Guxue Peak." ”

"What's so strange about going to Guxue Peak, who hasn't been there......" the young Taoist muttered.

Wu Lao smiled lightly, "He helped me with a ...... Not a small favor. ”

The young Taoist frowned and wondered, "It's just a small favor, so you don't need to do this, right?" ”

Wu Lao didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile.

The young Taoist seemed to suddenly think of something, his frowning brows slowly expanded, his whole face slowly became stiff, and his wide eyes were full of surprise, "No......"

Wu Lao nodded, "Otherwise, do you think that I would be so polite to him just based on the old guy's words?" ”

The young Taoist was a little depressed, "How could it be, how could it be ......?"

"Anything is possible in the world." Wu Lao smiled, "Ambition and heart change, spirit and form." You've probably heard of it. ”

"I've heard of it...... Poor Dao has heard ...... How could the poor Dao not have heard of it......" the young Taoist muttered.

Wu Lao changed his words, "Looking at Xiaobai's appearance, it seems that he has a lot of holidays with you, so I don't treat you very much." ”

Speaking of this, the young Taoist instantly looked depressed, "Poor Dao doesn't know, at the beginning, Poor Dao cheated him out of a few copper coins, but then he paid him back, and followed him to his grandmother's grave and knelt for three days, Poor Dao had never knelt like this before when he made mistakes." ”

"Then you, like me, should have said something you shouldn't have said." Wu Lao thought for a moment and gave a possibility.

The young Taoist sighed, "This kid doesn't know what's going on, everything about him seems to be covered with a layer of cloth, and Poor Dao can't see clearly, otherwise Poor Dao would have known why." ”

Wu Lao was a little puzzled, "Is it the old guy's handwriting?" ”

The young Taoist shook his head, "The old guy doesn't have such a bad taste, and he won't be so boring, just for this little thing, not so much." ”

Wu Lao put his hands behind him, "Then I can't figure it out." ”

The young Taoist also seemed to have opened his mind at this time, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, you have a headache if you think too much." ”

Wu Lao raised his hand and patted the back of the young Taoist's head, and said with an angry smile: "You kid mention me!" ”

The young Taoist smiled, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

——————

Bai Gu was dangling down the street, and was now squatting on a step watching the juggling in front of him.

The monkey charmer threw a hydrangea out, and the hydrangea was still in mid-air, and a monkey wearing colorful clothes struggled to get up and grabbed the hydrangea in one bite.

It attracted a burst of applause from the crowd.

After the monkey landed, he walked up to the monkey trickster and handed him back the hydrangea.

Bai Gu looked a little puzzled.

This monkey, and this monkey, why is the action so like a dog?

I saw that the monkey trickster took out another copper rod, on which hung a few ribbons, and danced in the cold wind.

The monkey trickster shook the copper rod in his hand, and the ribbon on the pole drew a beautiful arc in the air, and the monkey was attracted by the ribbon and jumped a few times with his paws.

Bai Gu felt that the monkey looked like a dog more and more.

The monkey man said loudly: "Everyone, next is the final show, drill the fire circle!" ”

After that, the monkey trickster began to run, and the monkey behind him saw the ribbon move and hurriedly chased after it.

The monkey puppeteer pulled out the four hoops as he ran, took out the fire fold with one hand, and lit the four hoops in turn. I don't know what is painted on the iron ring, but it can still burn in the wind and snow.

The monkey man stood violently in the middle of the four iron hoops, the copper rod in his hand kept flipping, and the monkey kept climbing over the circle of fire because he wanted to chase the streamers, and he did not feel tired at all.

The onlookers kept applauding.

After more than a dozen laps, the monkey trickster turned the copper rod into a short copper bar and withdrew it in his hand, hugged his fists around and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's performance is over." If you think you are doing a good job, you will raise your hand and reward a few dollars. If you don't feel good, you can come back tomorrow. If you feel spicy, you can scold directly, or you can bring your relatives and friends to scold tomorrow! Thank you very much for your support! ”

The monkey immediately ran out, holding an iron basin, and began to circle the onlookers to ask for a reward.

When he walked in front of Bai Gu, Bai Gu looked at the few copper coins in the iron basin, and then looked at the monkey trickster who was sweating because of his very hard performance, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he took out a few copper plates from his arms and put them in the iron basin.

The monkey squeaked a few times as a thank-you.

The monkey trickster also bowed to Bai Gu in thanks.

Bai Gu didn't respond, got up and left.

Bai Gu bought a few catties of mutton on the way, and went back to have a good meal with Lao Liu Tou and Brother Peng.

It's too cold, just enough to eat something warm.

When the sky was still a little bright, Bai Gu stepped into the threshold of Lao Liu's house covered in snow.

"Grandpa Liu, Brother Peng, I bought mutton and ate it hot at night!"

"If you buy so much meat, you're not afraid to hold on." Lao Liu Tou looked at the oiled paper bag that Bai Gu put on the table, a little helpless, I am afraid that the meat in it will not be able to get off without five catties.

There was also a bag next to it, in which were five or six biscuits.

"It's okay, it's okay, with Brother Peng here, it's not a problem to solve these together. I'm afraid I won't have enough to buy some pancakes. Bai Gu smiled.

Brother Peng sat on the wooden bed, did not speak, and smiled.

He hadn't eaten mutton for a long time.

Old Liu Tou had no choice but to take the oiled paper bag containing the mutton into the kitchen.

Bai Gu snorted, "Grandpa Liu, I'll help you." ”

With that, Bai Gu also went into the kitchen together.

After a while, Lao Liu Tou put a copper stove on the table, which was full of mutton. Even if Lao Liutou's copper furnace is not small, it is still almost unstoppable.

"It's time to eat." Old Liu Tou shouted, and Bai Gu and Brother Peng rushed to the table at a very fast speed and sat upright.

Lao Liu Tou picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and glanced at the two of them, "What are you pretending, why don't you eat it quickly?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly picked up a piece of mutton and put it in their mouths.

Oh, it's hot!

Oh, it smells so good!

Oh, it's delicious!

Bai Gu and Brother Peng were so hot that they grinned, but they still stuffed mutton into their mouths piece by piece.

No way, it's too fragrant.

Bai Gu raised his head, looked at Old Liu, and suddenly grinned.

Old Liu Tou was a little confused, so, "Xiaobai, what are you laughing at?" ”

The mutton is tumbling in the copper furnace, the milky white mutton soup makes a gurgling sound, and the tempting aroma of meat is accompanied by wisps of steam wafting in the air, which can't help but make the mouth mouth sigh and swallow wildly.

In the middle of the table, part of the vision was blocked by the steam floating from the copper stove, and the old Liu Tou on the other side of the table also began to blur, and he couldn't see it really.

Lao Liu's face seemed to have become a dough that had lost its facial features, like a big cake.

Bai Gu couldn't help laughing, but he still made an excuse casually.

"It's okay, it's delicious."

Lao Liu Tou and Brother Peng were a little helpless, and they also laughed together.

The laughter grew stronger in the cold winter night and the aroma of mutton.
