Chapter 24: The Ring
Fengyun said solemnly: "I am taught by the great thinker, politician, philosopher, economist, revolutionary and sociologist, and the great teacher of the proletariat and working people all over the world - Old Man Ma!"
Shocked by this string of titles, Li Shizhen also looked serious and asked seriously: "Old man Ma...... Who's that?"
"You don't know ......" Fengyun snorted and overshadowed the topic, after all, crossing is not a glorious thing, you can't just say it when you see someone, right? And he doesn't understand it when he tells him, so there's no need to cause trouble.
Seeing that he didn't want to reveal it, Li Shizhen didn't mention it anymore, so he took him to dinner.
In another room, Li Shi was grilling meat skewers, and a fire pit was dug in the middle of the house, and a circle was built with stones, and in the middle was still warm coals, glowing red.
Lai's craftsmanship should look good, the barbecue wooden skewers are quite clean, and the meat skewers are fat and thin, and they are grilled with dripping oil. Relying on the benefits of getting the moon first near the water, she also took out some dusty powder and carefully sprinkled it on the meat skewers, for fear that it would smell like condiment.
I don't know what the powder is, Fengyun endured hunger and gave the first string handed over by Li Shi to Li Shizhen, coaxing the uncle very happy, and praised him twice. However, if Li Shizhen knew Fengyun's true thoughts, I am afraid that he would have taken out the bone needle and inserted him to death, right?
Seeing that Li Shizhen had nothing to do with eating, Fengyun took the second string, smiled and thanked him and took a bite, and suddenly his facial features were squeezed together.
No wonder I don't dare to scatter more, and if I do more, I'm afraid that I will be killed. The salty and astringent taste filled his mouth, and Fengyun endured it without spitting it out.
Li Shizhen took a big bite and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter? It's not delicious? My woman's barbecue skills are ranked first in the entire Chiyou City, and I added salt soil to you, can't you get used to it?"
"What??," Fengyun hurriedly spat and shouted, "What's the matter?
The so-called saline soil is often referred to as saline-alkali land, and the white precipitate is not only salt, but also sodium sulfate, that is, miscanthus salt, which is poisonous.
"Fart!" Li Shizhen was furious and retorted: "The salt soil can be warm, consume, chase water, and slow diarrhea, why did it become a lethal thing in your mouth?"
"There's a ...... in there" Fengyun said helplessly: "I can't explain it to you, I know you want to add salt to the meat to make the meat more delicious, but salt soil is not salt!"
"Salt soil is not salt, so what is salt?" Li Shizhen said angrily: "Violent destruction of heavenly things, such a handful of salt soil damaged my Li clan witch war, feeding you is really into the dog's belly!"
"Damn! It's obvious that you don't know anything, and you say that I'm a tyrannical thing. Fengyun's eyes widened.
Li Shi on the side persuaded with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, the doll doesn't like salt and soil, so add some honey......" As she spoke, she got up and took a small gourd from the stone platform behind her, pulled out the stopper, poured out the golden liquid in it, smeared it on the meat skewers, and handed it to Fengyun.
A sweet fragrance hit his nose, Fengyun licked it, the rich mountain bee wild honey with the fragrance of the stamens suddenly made him appetite, although there is no salt taste, but it is much stronger than salt barbecue, Fengyun eats sweetly, Li Shi watched him eat lovingly, while helping him grill honey meat skewers.
Looking at Li Shi's eyes, Li Shizhen sighed secretly in his heart, the way of the witch doctor hurt Tianhe, so that he had no heirs in his life, but he suffered a woman. Ruo Lige, maybe it's that big, right?
Looking at Fengyun, he was taking the honey gourd in Li's hand and pouring it on the meat, Li Shizhen snatched the honey gourd with a black face, and said, "Don't eat so much honey, be careful of eating bad teeth!"
"Tut-tut, look at your stingy appearance!" Fengyun pouted and muttered, "Eat you for nothing, I'll send you some real salt to taste, cut!"
He ate seven or eight large meat skewers, although he could still eat some more, but the sweet big fat pieces were already tired of his appetite, he got up and wiped his mouth, Fengyun lifted the medicine basket and said, "Okay, I'm full, go back first, thank you for your hospitality!"
Seeing that he was leaving, Li Shi was anxious, and hurriedly got up to stay with the guest and said: "Why do you eat this? There is still more meat! Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense, he teases you! Eat more and then leave?"
Li Shizhen complained in his heart: You don't feel distressed every time your man is stung with honey, this will care about whether an outsider is full of food, but he said that he invited a guest to eat, so he could only get up and stay: "Eat some more and go?"
Fengyun shook his head and said, "If you don't eat it, you won't eat it, when you're full, I still have to give Li Xiaoyue a decoction!"
The patient is important, and Li Shi also knows this, so he no longer keeps it, takes out all the freshly grilled meat skewers, even stuffs the sticks into Fengyun's hands, and snatches the honey gourd from Li Shizhen, stuffs them to Fengyun, and says with a smile: "Come to the house to play if you have nothing to do!
Li Shi is the kind of traditional and simple working woman, who will only express her kindness with food and clothing, Fengyun remembered the grandmother he remembered when he was a child, he nodded, and grinned: "Okay! Auntie, I'll come when it's okay! Your honey barbecue is the best!"
Li Shi's face bloomed with joy, and he smiled: "Alas, okay! If you like to eat honey, let your uncle go to the mountains to cut it! He is used to knowing where those bee nests are!" Li Shizhen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he could imagine the tragic situation of being often stung by bees in the future.
Fengyun proudly raised his eyebrows at Li Shizhen, and he was so angry that he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and go back to decoction for Xiaoyue!" Fengyun ran out of Li Shizhen's house with a smile.
Fengyun distributed the meat skewers in his hands to the children who were hanging outside the courtyard wall and waiting for Li Shizhen to go out and continue to dig licorice. Fengyun called the youngest little boy named Xiaoshi to go back to Jiang Xiang with him, he just promised to send Li Shizhu some salt, eating that kind of salt soil for a long time will really cause an accident.
The little stone tiger head and tiger brain, after eating enough meat, the girl ran fast, venting infinite energy, Fengyun followed quickly, turned a corner, but ran into an unexpected person.
Xuan Ming squatted under a tree very unimpressively, playing stone chess with a group of little children, and laughed happily.
Fengyun's pace slowed down, and then he walked forward again.
Coming to Xuan Ming, Fengyun looked at him with a smile and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"
Clapped his hands and stood up, he also looked at Fengyun and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm waiting for you." ”
"I don't know you. Fengyun's eyes moved, and he said.
Xuan Ming didn't care, and said with a smile: "My name is Xuan Ming, haven't you asked?"
The etiquette was thorough, Fengyun took a breath and said, "My name is Fengyun." ”
It didn't seem to be surprising that Fengyun was not surnamed Li Xuanming, the children pestered Xuanming to continue playing chess, he stretched out his hand to soothe, looked at Fengyun with a smile and asked, "Can you borrow a step to speak?"
Fengyun called out to Xiao Shi, said a few words in his ear, and Xiao Shi ran away with the other children laughing.
Xuan Ming carried one hand behind his back, the other hand stretched out, his fingers were slender, his fingertips were warm, and the teeth in his mouth were also rare white here: "Please!"
Fengyun didn't care, and walked back around the tree, but saw a stone table and two stone benches beside the small river that passed through the city not far away. A woman in a feather coat was crouching on the ground fiddling with a small fire with a clay pot boiling hot water on it. Four strong warriors stood in all directions with long poles in their hands, and there were Li women washing clothes on the bank of the river, talking and laughing loudly, and glancing at this side intentionally or unintentionally.
Fengyun's pupils shrank slightly, but his footsteps did not stop, and he sat down with a big sting.
Xuan Ming also sat down slowly, and the woman in the feather robe stepped forward with a clay pot, and Fengyun looked at it, but there was a pot of yellow-green leaves boiling inside.
"This is the ancestor of the Yan clan Shennong's love, its name is tea, I Xuanyi old department has no long things, and only this thing can entertain nobles. Xuan Ming said with a smile.
"Noble?" Fengyun's eyes flashed, and he watched the woman in the feather coat help him serve the tea soup. Noticing Fengyun's eyes, Xuan Ming smiled: "This is a sister, named Xuanniao." ”
As his name suggests, the Xuanniao people are delicate and delicate, and their voices are as pleasant as birds: "Xuanniao has seen his brother." ”
Fengyun nodded politely with a smile, took a sip of tea soup from the pottery cup, and praised: "My sister is a good craft." He just said politely, but Xuan Ming followed and said: "If Brother Feng doesn't dislike it, you can take your sister with you, and leave chores such as laundry and cooking to her." ”
Fengyun was stunned for a moment and said, "Then how can you do it?" Xuanniao Yingying bowed and said obediently: "It is the honor of Xuanniao to serve my brother. ”
Shaking his head helplessly, Fengyun lowered his head and took a sip of tea, put the pottery cup back on the table, and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, don't do this, right?"
"Okay! Brother Feng is quick to talk, then I'll say it directly. Xuan Ming waved his hand, Xuan Niao got up and walked away, he laughed in a low voice: "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to make friends with Brother Feng." ”
Fengyun's smile slowly disappeared, and he stared at his eyes and said coldly: "I don't have much patience left, if you hide it like this again, then there is no need to talk." Then he got up and left.
"Stay!" Xuan Ming shook his head with a smile and said, "You are still so impatient......"
Fengyun frowned and turned his head, looking at him without saying a word, Xuan Ming had no choice but to get up and pull him back and sit down.
Fengyun said impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." ”
Xuan Ming stared at him, and suddenly sneered, Fengyun was laughed unhappily by him, and was about to have a seizure, Xuan Ming hurriedly reached over, Fengyun looked at it suspiciously, but it was the ring that was originally worn on his finger.
Without reaching out to pick it up, Fengyun asked, "What do you mean?"
Xuan Ming smiled: "I was entrusted by someone to let me give you this thing, fortunately not dishonored." ”
Fengyun's pupils shrank, and a thought crossed his mind, but it was fleeting. He asked, "By whom?" can you tell me all at once?"
Xuan Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "That person didn't let him say it, he only said that you will know it when you see this ring." ”
Looking closely at this rough black ring, Fengyun was full of doubts, he didn't remember who he knew had worn this ring?
Xuan meditated for a moment and said, "A hundred years ago. ”
