"Master can't repel mosquitoes either?"

Liang Qu got the answer and was relieved.

Yang Dongxiong nodded in response.

"Among the five insects, such as beetles, scales, hairs, feathers, and kun, the vast majority of them are born with spirits, seeking advantages and avoiding harm.

Only a small number of beetles, insects, and scale insects, such as planarians, floaters, and oysters, are too low-intelligence.

Unless you become a spirit and open your wit, you won't feel the power of the warrior, that is, as a teacher, you have to light mosquito coils at night, otherwise you will panic. ”

There are five kinds of heaven and earth, and there are scales and feathers.

These five are considered to be the previous people's cognition of living things.

Among them, silverfish refers to naked insects, hairless and uncarapaceed, such as planarians, earthworms, frogs, etc., and humans are also hairless and unnailed, so the sage is the length of the beetle.

The rest is easy to understand, scale insects are scaly animals, including winged flying insects, and dragons are the length of scale insects.

Caterpillars refer to animals, featherworms refer to birds, and insects refer to insects with carapace and some shelled aquariums.

"That's not my problem alone, it's true that some creatures have too low IQs and don't have the emotions to be afraid."

Figuring out the reason, the beams and canals are much more balanced.

It's good that you're not an exception.

Then he ran out, and when he came back, he carried several huge copper pots in his hand, six in all, and arranged them in a circle on the large table.

The copper pot has a unique shape, with a hollow chimney protruding in the middle.

These six copper pots were made by Liang Qu a few days ago, and Li Yuan from the third senior brother's shop helped to beat them, and when he went to invite the third senior brother, he happened to bring them together.

"You're unique."

Yang Dongxiong saw such a novel cookware for the first time, picked up one to observe, and guessed.

"Is it shabu-shabu? Used to set charcoal fires in the middle? ”

"Hey, Master's eyes are like torches!"

Yang Dongxiong smiled: "It's just shabu-shabu, I'm afraid you won't be so fanfare, right?" ”

Shabu shabu is not unusual, there are several shabu shops in Pingyang County.

It is not uncommon to cook while eating, Dashun is called "antique soup", and it is named after the "coo" sound made when the food is put into boiling water.

There is even a mandarin duck pot, a copper pot divided into five compartments to cook different foods and prevent them from smelling.

Liang Qu's real creation is to bring all of these together, plus his Liang's secret pot base!

"That's right, the highlight of today is your apprentice's secret pot bottom!"

He unraveled the clay pot and poured the scarlet hot pot base into the copper pot, followed by bone broth, mushrooms, and sauerkraut.

When it was poured out of the clay pot, it was still steaming and not completely cool.

Not everyone likes spicy food.

For this purpose, Liang Qu prepared a total of three spicy, one beef bone, one mushroom, and one sauerkraut in six pots, collecting the four most common flavors.

Spicy, pure, fresh, sour!

Yang Dongxiong sniffed and smelled an itchy nose: "It's so spicy, how many chili peppers did you put in?" Why is it so fragrant? ”

"The best butter, with chili, pepper, cinnamon, green onions, beans and seeds, star anise, mash, watercress, sugar, grass fruit, cumin, licorice, grass cole ......"

Liang Qu said more than ten kinds of ingredients in one breath, and he couldn't break it with ten fingers.

Yang Dongxiong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly felt that it was very reasonable to be so fragrant.

"I never thought you still had the talent to cook......"

Liang Qu smiled.

"It's so fragrant, I can smell it when I walk in the backyard, and I'm still thinking about what to eat tonight."

Xu Shi walked out of the corridor abruptly, holding a small fan in his hand, covering half of his face, showing great interest in the six copper pots in front of him.

"Xiao Jiu, what is the name of this thing you are carrying? How I've never seen one. ”

"Back to Shiniang's words, the disciple called it hot pot, and it was recently made up.

The taste is spicy and fragrant, and it is perfect for shabu-shabu, especially meat rolls. I'm afraid that everyone won't get used to spicy food, so I have prepared other flavors. ”

"Hey, Master! Not to mention the backyard, I smell it right at the door! ”

Xiang Changsong and Hu Qi crossed the corridor and walked quickly to the hall.

Xiang Changsong propped his hands on the table, leaned down and took a deep breath, his stomach growling.

"I said that what was the junior brother doing mysteriously before, it turned out to be shabu-shabu, but why is this base so fragrant?

Senior brother, let's open a restaurant together, you only have one way, you don't have to worry about the location and recruitment, the senior brother and you are divided fifty or fifty! ”

"Senior brother, let me come, I will be four or six points with you, I will be four, and you will be six."

Xu Zishuai floated in from outside, stirring up Xiang Changsong's good business.

"Why is Senior Brother Xu still competing with Senior Brother for profit? It's not kind! ”

"What's kind and not kind?"

Lu Gang's voice came from outside the door, followed by a shadow.

"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Sister Zhuo? Hurry up, junior brother, everyone is here, what about the dishes, hurry up and serve the dishes! Today I taught the apprentices for an afternoon, drank three cans of water, and put my chest against my back. ”

"Right now, I'll let the kitchen go."

Liang Qu ran to the stove room, and soon led a few small servants to run up, and put a plate of cut meat rolls on the table, as well as a small piece of small ingredients.

Another man holds a shovel in one hand and a red-hot coals in the other.

Liang Qu only brought the bottom of the pot and seasonings, and the rest was from the master's.

Master's ice cellar is very big, there is everything in it, the mutton is frozen hard, and the meat is cut directly to be a good meat roll.

On weekdays, everyone eats shabu and dips it in small ingredients, and everyone picks their favorite.

It's not the first time we've eaten together, but four or five times a month, and it's very cooked, like going to our own home.

Liang Qu's favorite ratio is a spoonful of crushed peanuts, a spoonful of chopped coriander, a spoonful of minced green onions, a spoonful of oil, a spoonful of minced garlic, and finally drizzled with sesame oil.

"The water is boiling, the water is boiling, let me taste it first."

The hot red oil gurgled in the copper furnace, steaming out billowing white steam.

Xiang Changsong picked up a cooked mutton roll with chopsticks, dipped the seasoning in the plate, and stuffed it into his mouth before it was cold, so hot that he exhaled hot air.

"Ha, ha, it's delicious!"

"The first time I ate such a fragrant shabu-shabu, it was very unique, no wonder I heard the fourth junior brother and the eighth junior brother arguing when I entered the door, I can really open a restaurant in Pingyang County, the business must be good, and I will cover the copper pot that the junior brother wants!"

"The third senior brother laughed, I don't have time to take care of the restaurant, let's try this."

Liang Qu took a plate of black stuff from the hands of his subordinates and brought it to the table, the plate was a palm-sized flake, covered with black spots, which was the soul of the hot pot - hairy belly!

He specially asked the people of the Yang Mansion to buy it and deal with it, soaked in ice water, dark and shiny, and the quality was very good.

Xu Zishuai picked up a piece and watched it repeatedly, and it took a while to remember what it was.

"Tripe? Can you eat it in the water? ”

Liang Qu stretched out two fingers: "Senior Brother Xu, taste it, the time for two breaths of scalding is not too hot." ”

Xu Zishuai burned a piece of the letter suspiciously, stuffed it into his mouth, and everyone focused their eyes, but saw that his brows were getting tighter and tighter.

Liang Qu smiled and asked, "How?" ”

"I can't say, I'll try it again."

Another piece of iron, after a crunchy crunch, Xu Zishuai swallowed.

"What about now?"

"It's not delicious, don't taste it, I'll suffer for you."

Everyone smacked the taste, and snatched the hairy belly that had been moved over to Changsong.

"It's not delicious, you still have it!? Bring it to you! ”

"Senior Brother Xu isn't interesting enough."

Yang Dongxiong also tasted a piece tentatively and nodded.

"It's delicious, it's the first time I've eaten something so crunchy."

"Everyone, just eat, I asked Uncle Hu to make a lot, and there are many plates behind!"

Hu Qi was so hot that the corners of his forehead were sweating, and suddenly he felt a cold air blowing on his neck, and he looked around: "Why is it so cool in Master's room?" Got the ice? ”

"It's not Bingjian," Yang Dongxiong pointed to the whining ice platform in the corner, "A few days ago, Yue Long sent me two things called the ice platform, which can be cool on a hot day, and it is much more comfortable to sleep at night." ”

"Got this good thing? Where can I buy it? I'm going to buy one. ”

"Yue Long said that it was a new thing from the imperial capital, and it is estimated that it will take a while to be able to buy it on the market."

Xu Zishuai was quite regretful.

"Recently, it's really hot enough, it's the rainy season again, it's always raining, people are so stuffy outside, I can't go to the yard to practice every day, otherwise I'm sweating, it's really uncomfortable, and I've started to practice meditation."

Senior Sister Zhuo scooped up a few pieces of cooked meat: "Won't the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce open the day after tomorrow?" said that there was going to be an auction, and there might be an ice table to sell inside, by the way, would the auction master go? ”

Yang Dongxiong wiped the corners of his mouth.

"The director of the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce personally sent me an invitation, thinking that there was nothing to do, and it was nothing to go to the court."

"I heard that there are countless treasures in the Tianbo auction, and last month in Huaiyin Mansion, an ancient book was sold, more than 1.3 million taels! I can't afford to buy a fraction of that book even if I sell it, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"More than 1.3 million? Those things have nothing to do with us, and the auction items in Pingyang County are estimated to be not so valuable treasures. ”

"Not necessarily, except for a few counties at the foot of the imperial capital, how can there be so many of us and so many martial artists in the counties next to it? Coupled with the first opening, it must be valued. ”

"Who are you selling it to?"

Xiang Changsong wondered.

Ordinary wealthy businessmen take out thousands of taels, tens of thousands of taels is not a problem, but when it reaches the million-dollar level, I am afraid that only those big families can afford it.

They really have a mine at home, and there are thousands of people in the clan.

Xu Zishuai scooped some clear soup into his bowl: "Senior Brother Xiang forgot the county order of Pingyang County?" Isn't the Jian family a big family, one family and three elephants, one million taels is not trivial, two days ago I heard people discuss, saying that he has a meritorious role in curing disasters.

Not to mention the Jian family, there is also Brother Yue Long, the grandson of Grandpa Guo, who is well-known, and the second Wei Lin, whose grandfather is Liang Guogong.

There are not too many people on the side of the Demon Hunting Division, or anyone else, they are all Zhumen, Jingentry, and we have a lot of wealthy families in Pingyang County. ”

"The changes in our county are really getting faster and faster day by day, I don't know if the senior brother will recognize it when he comes back.

Some time ago, there were two more houses next to my house, both of which were three-entry courtyards with large gardens, and they were extremely rich, just like the family of the ninth junior brother. ”

"Me? I'm so simple, there is not even a carving on the pillar, but the place is big, and the land in Yixing Town is not valuable, not to mention that the town is not when it is built, it is just a small township, and I want to build as big as I want. ”

"It will be valuable in the future, when Pingyang County really becomes Pingyang Mansion, Yixing Town will definitely be included, and when the junior brother's house is in the middle, that is the central location!"

"I don't dare to think about how comfortable it is to live in the courtyard with a garden."

"Speaking of which, I haven't been to Senior Brother Jiu's house, let alone eaten Senior Brother's housewarming banquet, when will Senior Brother Liang make up for one."

"Isn't that what this is today?"

"Hey, I watched this mutton roll dragged out of Master's Ice Cellar with my own eyes, can I count it?"

"Why can't you, senior brother, you eat so happily, and now you turn your face and don't recognize people?"

The crowd laughed and made a noise.

Yang Dongxiong and Xu talked little, and they were happy to see everyone.

……

Light and shadow are like horses whipping.

On June 18, it did not rain, but it was cloudy, and the sky and the earth were covered with ash.

According to the information on the invitation, the auction will start at 5 o'clock in the morning, and is expected to be in an hour and a half, with lunch at the end.

Liang Qu practiced in the morning, took a bath, removed the smell of sweat, rummaged through the wardrobe, and chose a dark color with red edges, which was very plain but slim, and was given by the master in May.

Since his apprenticeship, he has not bought many ordinary clothes, only a few pairs of shoes and socks.

As soon as the season changes, the teacher will send someone to send clothes over, the style is very good, and all the aesthetics are online.

An auction, there is no need to dress very luxuriously, the identity of the person who can receive the invitation is not ordinary, Brother Xu and others have designated it, and they are more expensive than them in the past?

Isn't that a deliberate attempt to embarrass people in the past?

Hang up the sachet, put away the waist card, and at the moment, Liang Qu took the invitation card and rode up Chishan to set off in Pingyang County.

"The painting hall flies towards the clouds in the south of Puyun, and the bead curtain rolls up in the western mountains at dusk."

Liang Qu crossed the street and looked up at the tall buildings in front of him.

In the past, when I came to Pingyang County, I only went to a few places, Yangfu, Butou, Academy, and Medical Center, all of which were in the southeast, and I never came to the west at all.

Unbeknownst to all, a three-story building rises from the flat ground to the west.

Carved beams and painted buildings, warblers are full of chapters.

Roughly calculated, the entire Tianbo Tower is twenty-five meters high.

There are three floors, and that floor is eight meters less, and if you don't go in, you can guess how vast and heroic it is.

It's just that......

The shape of the building made Liang Qu feel a little weird, and he always felt that such a lobby-style building was a little wrong.

As if ...... Layers of trees?

Liang Qu lightly clamped the horse's belly, Chishan comprehended that he would speed up, and turned a street only to find that the entire Tianbo Building was almost impassable.

Ordinary people can't get into the auction of the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce, but this does not prevent them from watching the excitement outside.

There are people, and naturally there will be hawkers, carrying a flat pole and selling wontons, steamed buns, and sugar gourds while walking.

In front of Tianbo Tower, there is a bustling crowd, shoulder to shoulder.

Liang Qu had no choice but to turn over and lead the horse, he was 1.86 meters tall, half a head taller than others, and he saw the crowd juggling at a glance.

It was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, standing on one foot on a stake, with a large vat on his head.

The sweltering heat covered the boy's neck with a layer of sweat grease, which was so uniform that at first glance it looked like a brush.

The vat was half the size of a boy, and it trembled from his hands to his feet to his neck, and his muscles were violent, and he writhed under his skin like a snake, making people wonder if he had squeezed all the blood out of his bones.

Liang Qu led the horse and walked over, and the people around him unconsciously got out of the way.

His clothes are clean and tidy, there is not even a crease, and there is a faint smell of spices, no matter how you look at it, he is not an ordinary person.

Similar rivers and lakes have rarely seen the beam canal before, and it is inevitable to stop by.

I heard that according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, if the vat above the head falls, then the broken pottery shards must be swallowed raw.

"Liang Qu! What to see? ”

Liang Qu raised his head.

Ran Zhongshi and a few people stood at the door of Tianbo Tower and beckoned to him.

"It's coming!"

It's not easy.

Liang Qu felt in his pocket, took out half a piece of broken silver the size of a fingernail from it, and threw it into the broken bowl in front of the boy, causing the man on the side to thank him frantically.

The boy swallowed, and a smile erupted from his salt-filled face, which made him stand up even harder.

"Brother Ran, Brother Xiang, Brother Bai."

Liang Qu came to everyone, and his own little guy stepped forward to lead the horse.

Xiang Fangsu glanced behind him.

"What's so nice about a few tricks?"

"I think it's strange, I've never seen it before."

"Let's go, you're here now, you've also received an invitation, let's go in and have a look?"

"Okay."

The steward at the door looked at the invitation and bowed down to lead the group into the door.

Liang Qu followed the group through a corridor to the wide hall, and as soon as he entered, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Not only him, but many people around him stopped and felt the shock from their hearts.

The whole hall is almost a square, there is not a single pillar inside, except for a very thick ancient tree growing in the very center!

The trunk of the tree is as blue as jade, and the thick and luxuriant branches extend out in all directions, intertwined and coiled with each other like pythons, forming a big top, lifting the entire second floor!

What the hell is this?

"Brother Liang hasn't seen it." Ran Zhongshi patted him on the shoulder, "Jasper Hongqiao Tree, the entire Tianbo Tower under our feet grew from that tree!" ”
