"It's almost noon, let's stay and eat together, and let you see my craft."

After the two of them were polite, Wei Feng remembered that his mutton was almost soaked, and planned to go back to watch it, and take the opportunity to greet the guests for lunch.

The two brothers of the Bai family glanced at each other, and had the intention to stay to observe Wei Feng's living situation and learn more about him, so they nodded: "Then it's a bother." ”

Wei Feng was not polite to them, beckoned them to sit in the backyard, and put the closing sign at the door, but the door of the study house was not closed, Fuyuanzhai was closed, and he wanted to leave a door for Bu Ji.

Go back to the backyard to scoop up the soaked mutton, change the basin of water and then scrub the mutton for a while, if you are prepared in advance, the mutton is best to soak for an hour, but now the time is a little rushed, can only be replaced by this way.

Put the cleaned mutton in a pot under cold water, put in the ginger slices to remove the smell, boil over high heat, do not stir during the period, turn to low heat after the water boils, and use a spoon to scoop up the foam.

After all the foam is removed, add spices such as cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, peppercorns, etc., simmer for half an hour, add an appropriate amount of salt, and simmer for another quarter of an hour to get out of the pot.

"It's so fragrant, Brother Wei Feng, ...... today There are guests. ”

When the mutton was about to be stewed, Bu Ji happened to come back from the exam, just in time for lunch.

Wei Feng laughed and said, "Didn't you come back after the exam?" ”

Then beckoned him over: "Let me introduce you, this is Bai Shangjie and Bai Yixun of the Xihe Bai family, which is the Xihe County we passed by when we came." ”

Then he said to the two brothers of the Bai family: "This is my friend, Bu Ji, who is also a candidate of this year's Academy. ”

Bai Yixun took the initiative to go over to say hello, and then chatted about some things in the examination room today.

After this period of training, Bu Ji no longer looks so wooden, but he only knows how to deal with normal conversations, and he is a little more active in front of Wei Feng, but he doesn't know how to parry in the face of Bai Yixun, who is a little familiar.

Fortunately, after a few words, Bai Yixun had already seen Bu Ji's problem, and did not expand the topic, but introduced it into the field that Bu Ji was familiar with, such as the situation in the bookstore, which made Bu Ji a little more comfortable.

After they chatted for a while, Wei Feng liberated Bu Ji: "Bu Ji, come and help me." "Finger lamb is not suitable for rice, so Wei Feng cooked another pot of noodles as a staple food.

Bu Ji's knife skills are very good, he is talking about kitchen knives, his hand holding the knife is extremely stable, the knife speed is not slow, and the thickness of the cut vegetables is also very uniform, so Wei Feng will often ask him to come and fight when cooking.

He usually practices knives in the backyard, that is, the three straight knives he carries on his back, every time he practices knives, Wei Feng and Cao'er will watch from the sidelines, and Lord Yu Zhai is occasionally there, Wei Feng smiled and asked him how Buji's knife technique was.

Lord Yu Zhai didn't comment too much, but said that there was no knife technique at all, but it would be very sharp to use it to kill.

Wei Feng saw the rise, and sometimes he would go over to practice and ask Bu Ji how to use a knife, but Bu Ji was clumsy in expressing it, and he was more likely to demonstrate it with actual combat, and whether he could understand it all depended on Wei Feng's own understanding.

Fortunately, Wei Feng has both strength and speed, plus his brain is enough, he has learned a lot, as for whether he has learned the essence, it is not clear, he is also ready to wait for the military attack exam to verify it, but he doesn't want to have no chance.

After Bu Ji settled in the study house, he no longer carried three knives on his back, and he only brought two when he went out occasionally, Wei Feng had asked about it curiously, and Bu Ji only carried the one that he carried for Cao'er, and Wei Feng didn't ask after listening to it.

Not long after, Wei Feng brought out a large plate of hand-grabbed mutton, and also gave each person a large bowl of noodles, the dog with a special bowl and plate, which is since the day after returning from the Shengyin Building, Wei Feng specially took it out to buy, the two sets of tableware selected by the dog himself, pure white porcelain bowl, and its coat color is very close.

Wei Feng made three dipping sauces for the finger lamb, one part salt and pepper, one part garlic juice, and one part cumin pepper, and let them choose according to their taste.

After a few people had eaten almost, Bai Shangjie asked, "Is Lord Yu Zhai not here today?" "He has observed Fuyuanzhai intentionally or unintentionally since he entered the door.

Wei Feng swallowed the noodle soup: "The lord of the Zhai has something to go out, do you also know the lord of the fast?" ”

Bai Shangjie smiled bitterly: "Naturally, I know each other, but it's a pity that I am generally blessed and couldn't buy a calligraphy and painting here from the master." ”

Wei Feng put down the bowl and became interested: "The lord seems to be very famous, is there anything peculiar about his calligraphy and paintings?" ”

Bai Shangjie was surprised: "Don't you know? Then you still live in the same courtyard as Lord Zhai......" If he hadn't been clear about Wei Feng's information, he would have suspected that this person was a relative of Lord Yu Zhai.

Wei Feng shrugged: "I don't know, I didn't have a place to stay at that time, so the lord let me live here." ”

Bai Shangjie's face was bitter, and he said with a sour tone: "Then I really envy you, presumably you are the person who the lord thinks is blessed." ”

Then he said: "In fact, the identity of the lord of Yu Zhai is not hidden, his old man was originally a dean of the school palace, and I heard that he was seriously injured in a certain battle, which caused his cultivation to stagnate, and there was no possibility of breaking through, so he resigned from the position of dean and came here to open a calligraphy and painting workshop."

Although he was retired, in the early years, he often had former students or people who had received his favors to visit, and he would often guide his juniors in their cultivation.

Later, when many people heard about this, people from all walks of life, both familiar and unacquainted, came from far and wide to seek some guidance, and the patience of the fasting lord was exhausted and he became angry, and no one who came after that stopped receiving them.

Fuyuanzhai was not called this name at first, and it was only after that time that the name was changed.

Since he stopped receiving them, he has been immersed in writing and painting every day, and gradually some people have discovered that these calligraphy and paintings have other miracles, and the master seems to have condensed his understanding of various spiritual practices into calligraphy and painting, and countless people have flocked to buy them.

However, those people were all driven out by the fasting master, and on the grounds that they were not lucky enough to buy my calligraphy and paintings, no matter who came, no one came, and over time no one came again.

This was the case for several years after that, until a certain school student got a handwritten word by the lord of the house, and realized a type of marksmanship from the word, with this marksmanship in one fell swoop to enter the top ten people in the palace, Fuyuan Zhai was lively again.

Everyone flocked to the door again, many people coaxed the lord to give an explanation, the lord ignored it, and closed the door directly, and a day later, the main messenger who was fanning behind him tied him to the door of the store, made him kneel, and told him that because the kid was lucky enough, he was willing to sell.

Then tell everyone to come outside the store again to make trouble and kneel together.

That man was also a cultivator with good strength, but he was tied by ordinary hemp rope, but he didn't dare to break free, and no one dared to save him, so he knelt in front of the store for a month, and no one came to Fuyuanzhai to make trouble after that. ”
