The noon of the cold winter is by no means the time for people to like to take a nap, but the kitchen at this time is in full swing. In the martial arts hall of more than 100 people, a half-person-high cauldron is used for stir-frying, the master of the kitchen is stir-frying with a one-person-high shovel, and the firewood chopped by Fu Xiaowa is burning violently under the stove.

There are six or seven people in the kitchen, and they have been working peacefully in this martial arts hall for many years, facing the same things every day, serving more than 100 people's meals every day, the same taste, the same voice, the same shouting, calm, plain, ordinary.

There is never anything unusual about a day here, except for the Hu Guan who has been walking by from time to time, no one will interfere with the operation of this small circle, in fact, the scolding of Hu Guan has also become a part of this law.

Now in this small circle of rules in the martial arts hall, there is one more miscellaneous servant to join, this miscellaneous servant is diligent and enthusiastic, the kitchen firewood and water are properly supplied, after completing the work that these two adult people can complete, and also sweep the inside and outside of the martial arts hall, the people in the kitchen have long been accustomed to his figure, this figure can always help them when they need it most, this is from the kitchen master to the maid ring, everyone is familiar with the person - Fu Xiaowa.

But this warm circle is just a small circle, outside a warm circle, it is still a big circle of martial arts, and in this big circle, compared to a miscellaneous servant like Fu Xiaowa, there are very few people who know each other. However, for a small number of children, it is impressive, that is, Shen Zhengming.

Since Shen Zhengming gave Tian Yuan Dan to Chen Huandong, he has been passed on by Chen Huandong, and this Shen Zhengming has invited a martial artist from his small family, and he has been practicing martial arts for some years, and his kung fu foundation is quite good.

There are still a few groups of children in the same group of the martial arts hall, although some of them have been able to gather energy, but they are not as prominent as Shen Zhengming.

Fu Xiaowa had taken the time to practice the martial arts of Hu Guan these days, and he was surprised to find that small warm air masses had been gathered in the dantian. Perhaps this is the so-called Qi Yuan, according to the method in the book, the Qi Yuan can be sent to all parts of the body, can build the body's muscles and veins, can be turned into strength, the most surprising thing for Fu Xiaowa is that he can use the Qi Yuan to carry water and chop wood, and the Qi Yuan can be transmitted to the body, which can make the body lì Qi bigger, which makes him carry water and chop wood twice the speed, so that he has more time every day, which can be used to practice the martial arts of Hu Guan.

The haystack, Fu Xiaowa's favorite place for cats, as long as he has free time, he will appear on the haystack at the kitchen door to bask in the sun.

"Little frog!" called the butler.

Fu Xiaowa jumped down from the haystack and responded, "Here, what do you command!"

"This money, take it, help me go to the wine shop in Xixiang Hutong to help me get two catties of burning knives!" Steward Hu was confused, as if he had drunk a lot, and threw a few dollars to the little frog.

"Cheng, you wait!"

The little frog took the money, took the wine bottle, and then walked out of the martial arts hall.

The streets were full of traffic, and after not coming out to visit Qingniu Town for a long time, the little frog couldn't help but feel a little happy, and his mood suddenly became happy.

The snow on the streets had not yet melted, and the streets were lined with a few frogs, and children of this age were having snowball fights. At this time, there are sugar gourds, candy sellers, windmill gadgets, and jewelry sellers, and it is bustling and lively......

Fu Xiaowa came to the West Lane Huxian, and he could smell the fragrance of wine from a distance, which was really the so-called wine fragrance and was not afraid of deep alleys. This winery is the name of Qingniu Town for a hundred years, Wang Er burns knives, a well-known name, as long as someone talks about burning knives, all mention this name.

The scale of this winery is not large, it is strange to say, although the business of this winery is good but never expanded, it is said that there is an aura in the ground, and the wine after the cellar has a different flavor, once the old owner tried to move to other places, but the wine made has lost its original taste. ...,

Fu Xiaowa entered the wine shop, several huge wine vats in the courtyard, the smell of wine is even stronger, the so-called burning knife, that is, igniting combustible spirits. The workshop is run by the old couple, the man's natural surname is Wang, Wang Er is the name left by the ancestors, to his generation has been five generations, now noble, Wang Gui. The old woman is a foreigner, who took refuge decades ago and married into the Wang family, but she failed to leave a son and heir, but the old couple had a very good relationship, but they also diluted this regret.

"Is anyone here, business is coming to the door!" Fu Xiaowa shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Wang Gui heard the sound and came out, and when he saw a child, he knew that he would help the adults to drink.

"Bring me two catties of burning knives!"

"Good class, two catties of burning knives, please wait a moment!" Wang Gui took the wine bottle, picked up the wine drops and opened the vat, and the smell of wine suddenly spread and the fragrance was tangy.

"Old man, your wine is really good!" Although Fu Xiaowa doesn't understand alcohol, he can also know a thing or two from this fragrance.

"That's not it, my family's wine, a hundred years of craftsmanship, is the only one!" Wang Gui Lao'er gave a thumbs up and boasted.

"My housekeeper can recognize you and ask for the famous one!"

"Your housekeeper knows the goods, my wine is not only mellow and fragrant, but also has the effect of strengthening the body, and I have drunk it and I am a repeat customer!"

"Oh, and this magic?"

"That's not it, there is immortal qi hidden in the ground of my house, and the wine in the cellar will have the effect of strengthening the body by absorbing immortal qi!" Wang Gui Lao'er is boasting more and more mysteriously.

Fu Xiaowa doesn't believe in any fairy spirits, those things he hasn't seen, he doesn't believe in them all, he doesn't believe it or not, he still won't puncture Wang Gui'er's boasting,

"Don't listen to this old man's nonsense, you know that you are fooling around!" I don't know when, Wang Gui's wife came out of the house with a dustpan.

"Hello auntie!" Fu Xiaowa shouted.

"This baby is so good, come to the aunt to give you sesame candy!" Wang Gui's wife took out a small piece of candy from her pocket and stuffed it to Fu Xiaowa, maybe this Wang Gui's wife has no children under her knees, and she is very kind when she sees Fu Xiaowa.

"Thank you, auntie!" Fu Xiaowa rarely eats such a rare thing, this is a supreme treasure for him, he carefully took a bite, the sugar cube melted in his mouth, the fragrance filled his mouth, and the sweetness soaked to the bottom of his heart, it was simply the supreme delicacy of life.

"Eat slowly, Auntie still has it here!" Wang Gui's wife liked the more she looked at this child.

Wang Gui also said: "This blind child is hungry, there is still something delicious at home, bring some!"

Fu Xiaowa is very grateful, and his heart is very warm, he is a child without a father and no mother, and he can't stop being moved by being cared for.

"How much is the wine?"

"Twenty Wen!"

Fu Xiaowa counted, Steward Hu was really an old regular, and he didn't give much to him, Fu Xiaowa handed over the copper plate to Wang Gui Lao'er: "The money is here, you count!"

"No, welcome to come again next time, there will be candy to eat!" Wang Gui Lao'er took the money and put it in his pocket.

Fu Xiaowa was happy in his heart, carrying a wine bottle, and was about to go home, when he was pushed open by someone at the door, and saw a few strong men entering the winery, and the wine was still a little drunk.

"How many masters, do you want wine?" Wang Gui Lao Er smiled and stepped forward.

"Get it for me, get a few pounds of burning knives, hurry up!" a few drunks sat on a bench in the courtyard.

Fu Xiaowa shook his head, he was a drunkard like a caretaker, he went out with the wine, and just walked out of the door a few steps, when he heard Wang Gui'er's cry for help in the wine shop. Fu Xiaowa hurriedly turned back and entered the wine shop, only to see those drunks who were tangled in Wang Gui'er's chest and clothes, and they were angry.

"You, why are you beating the old man?" Fu Xiaowa faced several adult strong men, and his words were inevitably unconfident.

"You kid, what's the about it, be careful of Lao Tzulian, even you will be beaten!" said a drunk man. ``
