The little girl was stunned when she saw him giving alms, and Zhou Kai said: "Brother Fu, it's not that we don't have sympathy, but we really can't give her food, just look around." Zhu Yushi looked around and saw that all the refugees were looking this way with their necks stretched, and their empty eyes were all greedy when they saw the scallion pancakes. Zhou Kai said: "Brother Fu understands, it's not a matter of charity alone. If you give the child food, the other refugees will know that you are a good person and will not hurt them, and they will rush up and pester you. Cao Sanmin said: "If you really want to help this child, just throw the oil cake on the ground and step on it a few times, of course she will still eat it." Others think you're a bad guy and don't dare to come over. In order not to get yourself in trouble, sometimes even a good person has to pretend to be a bad person. Zhu Yushi said with a smile: "If you can be a good person, why should you be a bad person." As he spoke, he stuffed the scallion pancake into the little girl's hand and said, "Go to your mother." The little girl ran away as soon as she got the cake, without saying a word of thanks. Zhu Yushi didn't care, but opened the baggage, pointed to the remaining twenty-five scallion oil flatbreads and said, "Whoever is hungry will come and get it, one for each person." ”

The refugees rushed up as if they were blowing up, rolling and crawling, for fear of falling behind. Zhu Yushi really shared a large cake by himself, and those who came did not refuse. The one who got the bread immediately squatted on the ground and ate it. After a while, the cake was divided, and most people still hadn't received it, so Zhu Yushi took out his money bag and gave each person ten copper coins, and after a while, the money was also distributed. When more refugees heard the news, they surrounded the three of them and shouted, "Give me something, give me something." When Zhu Yu ran out of money and food, he gave the refugees a change of clothes. A refugee said: "I don't want to wear it, I want food, I want copper money!" Zhu Yushi said apologetically: "It's really gone, it's all gone." Another refugee said, "Give me your horse! Zhu Yushi said: "The horse can't be sent, I'm sorry everyone." The refugees just wouldn't let him go, shouting one after another: "Give me something to eat, we just came, and we haven't had anything!" Zhu Yushi was embarrassed: "I really don't have anything!" A few refugees even shouted angrily: "Liar! You must still be hiding! Let me search your baggage!"

At this time, Cao Sanmin took out a steel knife from the horse bag, raised it high and shouted: "I don't know what to do, Diao Min! Whoever dares to ask for it again, don't blame me for being unkind!" His voice was better than Zhu Yushi's thousand words, and the refugees immediately retreated like a tide, begging for begging, selling for children, as if nothing had happened. Zhu Yushi saw that human nature had been reduced to such an insensitive state, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

The three of them went on the road again, and Zhou Kai said with a smile: "Those people not only did not thank Brother Fu for receiving the favor, but they embarrassed Brother Fu, did they regret giving them alms?" Zhu Yushi said: "I just sympathize with their situation, not pity their personality." Helping others is fun, happy in your own heart, there is nothing to regret. Cao Sanmin raised his thumb and said, "That's a good point! Cao admires you." Zhou Kai also said: "If Brother Fu is a monk, he must be a high-ranking monk." It's just that Brother Fu's money and food are gone, how can he invite us to eat and taste tea when we arrive in Luoyang?" Zhu Yushi said with a smile: "My horse is still worth a few dollars, and I will sell it in the town ahead, and I can also use it for a donkey, and the rest of the money will be invited to the two brothers to eat and drink." Zhou Kai smiled: "It's just a joke, I didn't expect Brother Fu to be so righteous." I covered all the food and lodging along the way. ”

In the evening they came to a small town. The town is sparsely populated, barren and desolate, with less than 100 households. Zhou Kai said: "There is only one inn here within a radius of five hundred miles, and it will be one night to wronged Brother Fu." Zhu Yushi said: "Domeng is gracious, and he will be picky." ”

The three of them entered the inn, the tables and chairs in the store were incomplete, covered with a thick layer of dust, and the old shopkeeper was a sixty-year-old man, who was very happy to see a guest come to the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Cao Sanmin said: "I want three clean rooms, prepare a table of the best wine and food, and then feed our horses, there is no need to wash the horses, and you can't be busy." The old shopkeeper said: "Yes, yes, let my wife prepare." Then an old woman came out to greet them, and then went upstairs to clean the room, while the old man cooked.

After a long stick of incense, the old woman came downstairs and told them that the room had been cleaned, and that a basin of hot water had been prepared for each of them. The three of them thanked each other and went back to their rooms to rest.

After Zhu Yu briefly freshened up, he changed into clean clothes and went downstairs. Zhou Kai and Cao Sanmin also went downstairs one after another. After a while, the old shopkeeper served the wine and food, and said apologetically: "There are no good things in the shop, and I hope the guest officer will not be surprised." He is not modest, the only meat dish on the table is a roast chicken that is not fresh, and the four plates of cold dishes are all cabbage and tofu. The wine is a jar of self-brewed old wine, which can barely be said. Zhou Kai himself opened a restaurant, frowned when he saw these things, had no appetite, and asked: "Can I occupy the kitchen of the store, I want to process these dishes, and the things used will be extra money for you." The old man said, "Of course, the guest officer will take care of it." ”

Zhou Kai said: "This kind of meal really can't entertain Brother Fu, you wait, I'll come when I go." Zhu Yushi said: "It's good to have food, don't bother." Zhou Kai said: "It's not troublesome." As easy as lifting a finger. Saying that, he brought the dishes into the kitchen, Cao Sanmin said with a smile: "Brother Zhou is a famous chef in Luoyang, and the dishes he makes will definitely not disappoint us." Zhu Yushi said: "The ingredients here are limited, and the seasonings are not complete, no matter how high Brother Zhou's cooking skills are, I am afraid that there is no place for heroes." Cao Sanmin said with a smile: "The simpler the dish, the more the chef's skills are tested, and Brother Zhou can make an ordinary dish no longer ordinary." Zhu Yushi said curiously: "Then I'll have to taste it later." ”

When Zhou Kai came out, he brought out three sea bowls, and a plate of yellow, orange and orange things were put on the table, and said, "Come and try my shredded chicken noodles." It turned out that he cut the breast meat of the roast chicken into shreds, stewed it with green vegetables and tofu on the fire, and then cooked it with noodles, put the noodle soup into a bowl and add green onions, ginger and garlic, and poured it with hot oil, which was fragrant. Zhu Yushi took a bite and praised: "It's really rare that Brother Zhou can make those things into such delicious shredded chicken noodles." Cao Sanmin also praised: "The heat is just right, the noodles are strong, the soup is fresh, and the only taste of green onions, ginger and garlic is bursting out, very good." Zhou Kai said with a smile: "It's a pity that there is no beef bone soup, and the ingredients are not of the highest quality, otherwise it will be better." Zhu Yushi said: "It's already excellent, hey, what is this plate?" Zhou Kai said: "This is the original roast chicken, which was chopped open by me and wrapped in noodles and fried in oil, you taste it, the taste is very different from the roast chicken." The two picked up a piece and took a bite, only to feel that the skin was crispy and the meat was smooth and delicious, Cao Sanmin said: "The taste of this fried chicken is really peculiar, but it is delicious." ”

Zhu Yushi said: "It's the first time I've eaten roast chicken, smoked chicken, pickled chicken, and fried chicken, how did Brother Zhou come up with it." Zhou Kai smiled: "I saw that there were still noodles that had not been used up, so I came up with this way to eat." I'll improve it when I go back, and maybe it will sell well. Then the three of them opened the jar and began to eat and drink.

As he was eating and drinking, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and a man said, "Old man, feed our horses too." The tone was very polite, with a commanding tone. The old shopkeeper who was feeding the horses said, "Do you want to stay in the hotel too?" The man said: "Can you get down from this broken shop, come and eat and drink, and the master will continue to hurry." The old shopkeeper said: "Yes, yes, please come in the guest officer." ”

The curtain opened, and seven black-clothed men broke in, all carrying weapons. The leader was a one-eyed man, with an oblique blindfold, a full beard, and a fierce look. They glanced at Zhu Yushi's table, looked at their food, and said with one eye: "Old man, serve seven bowls of noodle soup according to the soup on their table, and then bring four jars of old wine and appetizers." The old shopkeeper was puzzled: "The noodle soup of the guests at that table was cooked by themselves, and they were old and did not have such good craftsmanship." The one-eyed man said "Huh?", came to Zhu Yushi's table and said, "You made the meal yourself?" Zhou Kai hurriedly got up and said, "Yes, yes, it was made below." The one-eyed man said, "Then you can make seven more bowls." Zhou Kai didn't dare to offend him, so he had to answer: "Yes, you later." The one-eyed man said: "Wait!" pointed to the fried chicken on the table and said, "What is this yellow thing like?" Zhou Kai said: "Yes...... It is a self-created fried chicken under it. The one-eyed man said, "Let's have two servings too." Zhou Kai hurriedly said: "Okay." ”

Zhou Kai and the old shopkeeper went to the kitchen to work, seven big men sat around a table to eat wine, and after three cups, they pulled their throats to urge the food, and the old shopkeeper had to run out to apologize. Zhu Yushi asked Cao Sanmin: "Where did this group of people come from, why are they so domineering?" Cao Sanmin hurriedly glanced at them, lowered his voice and said: "Be quiet! They are members of the Ma Gang, and it is fortunate that they didn't trouble us, and after Brother Zhou finished cooking for them, he hurried upstairs, lowered his head, and didn't look at them." ”

At this time, Zhou Kai and the old shopkeeper walked out of the kitchen with the food and respectfully placed it on their table. Those big men all had heavy tastes, put a few big spoonfuls of chili peppers in the bowl, ate a few bites and shouted, "Happy!" and picked up the chicken nuggets and nibbled on them, and they also applauded frequently. The one-eyed man's tongue was like made of iron, and the hot noodle soup was eaten after a while, and he burped, and when he stretched out his hand to Zhu Yu, they beckoned: "Come here, the uncle has something to ask you." Zhou Kai and Cao Sanmin walked over tremblingly, and Zhu Yushi also followed.

The one-eyed man held a toothpick in his mouth, tilted his head and said, "Do you know who the master is?" Cao Sanmin smiled and said: "If the guess is right, it should be a good man of the horse gang." The one-eyed man bared his teeth and smiled: "Even if you have a little knowledge, do you know the rules?" Cao Sanmin smiled: "I know how to understand." I have seen all the heroes of the horse gang below, and I wish you a prosperous business. The one-eyed man snorted with an "um". Zhou Kai and Zhu Yushi also said it. The one-eyed man said: "Are you from the south bank?" Cao Sanmin didn't dare to lie and said, "Yes." The one-eyed man said, "Then have you ever met a man named Tong Dalong?" (To be continued.) )
