Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 408 407. Gathering of Three

"Old Du wants to eat chicken."

"..."

"The old man called him."

"..."

"A chicken in the left hand and a duck in the right."

"..."

"There's a fat doll on my back~ ya ya ya~~~"

"Daoist..."

Du Ruhui, who couldn't listen anymore, stopped Li Laodao who was humming.

"Let's buy some vegetarian ones. Is it okay if I don't eat this chicken?"

Along the way, I heard the Taoist master put himself and the chicken together for no reason... Although he didn't understand what he meant, Du Ruhui, who always felt that this damned bull-nosed man had no peace of mind, couldn't take it anymore.

Good guy.

If you continue singing, you will be abducting and trafficking children.

Forcibly dragged the old man who was about to perform milk crucian carp soup away from the fish stall, and bought a bunch of wild leeks, wild onions, mushrooms and fungus that sprouted in spring.In order to prevent this lowly Taoist from humming any obscene tunes, Du Ruhui personally hung the two jugs of wine on a hemp rope around Li Zhen's neck.

Da Youdao dares to say more BB, which means smashing people and wine jars together.

have to.

The Taoist and the scholar, with two wine jars hanging on them and chickens and ducks in their hands, walked back slowly.

Back at Chunyou Club and the firewood room, the two gentlemen began to process the ingredients.

The chickens and ducks handled by the vendors were not clean enough and had burrs on them.

Li Zhen was picking one by one.

Du Ruhui wasn't proficient in cooking, so he was ordered to do things like boil fire and water.

One of them is in the kitchen and the other is outside the kitchen.

"Master."

"Ok?"

"I plan to... go to Hedong."

The Taoist who plucked the chicken had no surprise on his face and asked:

"when to go?"

"It's just a few days. In these few days, I have read all the dossiers of Hedong in recent years, and I have also asked the Ministry of Works. I am familiar with the geography of mountains and rivers. After Wu Duan'er was killed by random arrows on the east side of the river , although some of the rogues were captured, some of them broke up and escaped.

At present, no new sheriff has been sent to the court, and I have already sent a letter to my family, hoping that some elder brothers in the clan will do their part.My father has already agreed to this matter, and there are nine out of ten chances that this county guard will belong to my family.I plan to take a step ahead and find out the situation in various parts of the river east, and see how much money and food are needed, so that I can prepare in advance. "

After some well-organized words came out, Li Zhen nodded:
"Well, it's the right thing to do... Do you know Li Shilang?"

"..."

Du Ruhui frowned:
"...The Lord of the Hundred Knights?"

Just when he was wondering why the Taoist priest would mention this man with a deep city, he heard a sentence:
"Before we came back from Hongnong, she and I..."

Just as he was speaking, the movements in Li Zhen's hands stopped.

Recalling that stunning face...he was in a trance.

But the words in his mouth did not stop:
"I met her once. She is going to Xiangyang. Guess who she is looking for?"

"..."

Now it was Du Ruhui's turn to be surprised:

"Is the Taoist priest old with him?"

Before Li Zhen could answer, suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and said in surprise:
"That's right, Li Shilang was said to have gone to the Northwest last year, and there was a Taoist priest in the city who made an elixir to prolong life, but somehow he was killed by his junior brother Lu Cunjing...Lu Cunjing was also beheaded last year...the Taoist priest It's also born at the end of the family, so it's hard to..."

"I said I killed Qiu Cunfeng, do you believe me?"

"..."

When he said this, Li Zhen was still plucking the chicken.

Sitting on the mat in front of the stove, Du Ruhui instinctively looked at Li Zhen's face when he heard this.

After a moment of silence, he asked:

"Should I be killed?"

"Alchemy by a living person, or a child, what do you think?"

"..."

The scholar was silent again.

moment.

He sighed:
"What's going on in this world..."

After tacitly completing a discourse exchange, Du Ruhui asked:

"No wonder he defended the Taoist priest so much at the Xisui banquet... At first I thought it was because of Pegasus City, but I didn't expect...it turned out to be here. Why did the Taoist priest talk about him?"

"Because she has already negotiated with Sun Jingchan."

"...The Young Master of the Pegasus Sect?"

Hearing Li Zhen call his name directly, Du Ruhui was even more surprised.

Daoist...why is it getting more and more mysterious?

First, Li Shilang, the Baiqi Division, and then the young master of the Pegasus Sect... Although it can be guessed from his riding an oolong that he has a close relationship with Pegasus City...

But... this is also a bit... too coincidental, isn't it?

And it is said that Suning Gaogong of Xuan Junguan even asked him to call him teacher...

For some reason, he set his eyes on the Taoist priest's face.

this face...

How can you not see that you can eat?
He didn't pay attention to his normally serious self, and within less than an afternoon of reuniting with this Taoist priest, Du Ruhui, who had already been assimilated, started to go astray.

But Li Zhen didn't notice, and said to himself:

"Pegasus City has money. If you have money... there should be food. But Mrs. Minister is not worried enough, so she went to Xiangcheng to find the warrior Xun, who is the shopkeeper of the Wu's business that you hauled the horses. Then She still wants to find other people... and she told me that the difficulty in Hedong lies in autumn and winter.

Think about it, too, when all the herbs sprout in spring and summer, people will not eat less.But autumn and winter should be a big difficulty.So, after you get there, I think you should focus on autumn and winter and figure out a way out.

And... I suggest that you don't expect the imperial court to allocate funds... The Minister Minister told me that Wagang will be conquered soon. If the grain and grass from Zhang Xutuo's side were not sent by Pegasus City, they might have sent a batch of them. Also tight.so……"

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhen suddenly stopped talking.

Du Ruhui also raised his head and looked in the direction of the door.

because……

There was someone at the door.

And just when he was thinking about whether it was the guest who was listening to the story, he suddenly heard a knock on the door and a warm voice in the air:

"Daozhang, so-and-so is here, are you at home?"

Who is this person?

Du Ruhui didn't understand yet, but Li Zhen's expression brightened:
"Here! Brother Shubao! Hahahahahaha..."

Laughing wildly all the way, the Taoist ran forward.

Uncle?

Who?
Du Ruhui also followed out instinctively, and saw a man with his armor still on his body walk in after the Taoist priest opened the door.

The moment he walked in, Du Ruhui instinctively felt a chill run down his spine.

This person……

So strong!

The murderous and bloody aura that only belonged to soldiers made him, a Legalist disciple, instinctively afraid.

Li Zhen was also quite surprised.

Looking at Qin Qiong who was holding two jars of wine in his hand:

"Brother Shubao, why are you here? Didn't you go back to the army for duty?"

Let Qin Qiong in.

I haven't seen her for more than a month, and Qin Qiong seems to be darker than the last time he met.

The skin is purplish red.

At first glance, it is the complexion that is exposed to the sun every day.

After entering the door, he glanced at Du Ruhui who was following behind, and then Qin Qiong said with a smile:
"Today is the last time I went home to recuperate. Since I was transferred years ago, I have been staying in the army. I will go to the army in a few days. From today to tomorrow, I will go home to recuperate. I have settled down After getting home, I heard that someone seemed to have seen the Taoist priest shopping in the market. He planned to come and have a look... But when he saw that the door lock was out of order, he came. This is..."

After explaining the reason, Qin Qiong looked at Du Ruhui.

Li Zhen quickly introduced:

"Brother Shubao, this one has the same relationship as you and me, a close friend. Du Ling, Du family, Du Ruhui, brother Shubao, it's good to call him Keming."

Upon hearing "The Best Friend", Qin Qiong, who was wondering if it was the wrong time for her to come, smiled more naturally:
"So it's Brother Keming. Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao from a certain family, nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

"Don't dare, I've looked up to Uncle Bao brother Daming for a long time, like thunder piercing my ears. Seeing you today, Sansheng is lucky!"

Du Ruhui also hurriedly said hello.

Li Zhen's words not only told Qin Qiong about his relationship with Lao Du, but also told Du Ruhui about his relationship with Qin Qiong.

"Invincible friends" is not used indiscriminately.

In the true sense, only people with similar personalities and similar interests can be called.

So the two became closer.

Now that Qin Qiong is here, Li Zhen will naturally not let him go.

Besides, they even brought wine.

Ugh……

Liu Ding, this child...

If he was here at this time, the grocery shopping could be handed over to him.

Otherwise, one chicken and one duck would not be enough for Qin Qiong to make.

But this would make it impossible for him to go grocery shopping even if he wanted to.Qin Qiong and Du Ruhui met for the first time, and his "middleman" ran away, what's the matter?
So, in an instant, Li Laodao had an idea:

"Brother Shubao, you came just in time. Today...you are lucky."

"Oh?"

Qin Qiong raised her eyebrows:
"What kind of rare food is Taoist preparing?"

"Haha, look... Come on, let's go in and talk."

Li Zhen, who originally planned to have boiled chicken, duck with distiller's lees, and wild onions in cold sauce, directly refurbished the menu.

Greeting Qin Qiong to enter the house, before reaching the backyard, he pointed to a table in the hall:
"Brother Shubao, I'll give you a job. Cut out a hole the size of the edge of the pot in the middle of this table."

"Uh……"

Under Du Ruhui's doubts, Qin Qiong, who was stunned for a moment, didn't think much about it. After nodding, he pulled out the tied dagger from his boots.

One poke, one stroke.

"Is this possible?"

"Row!"

Looking at the holes of similar size, Li Zhen nodded:

"Keming, I'm going to dig out the pot, you go get a bucket of charcoal fire."

"...Pick the pot?"

Du Ruhui was a little confused.

Qin Qiong nodded:

"Brother Keming, let me go with you."

"Uh... well."

……

What Li Zhen has to do is very simple, and he doesn't do any foolishness.

Just stew the big wool (goose) in an iron pot and start it.

The chicken and duck are stewed together with the bought mushrooms, making a face, and pat the side of the pot.

Although it is not cornmeal, the rough flour pancakes can't go wrong.

The drink is cold wild onion + fried beans + dried fruit.

Four jars of wine, three people share.

almost.

Cook first.

At that time, no matter if it is Du Ruhui or Qin Qiong, if there is anything to do, they will sit on the table and chat with the wine bowl and hot pot.

As for the broken table...

Be a family heirloom!

Let my eighteenth generation great-great-grandson point to this table when inviting people to dinner:

"Guys, have you seen it? This table is handed down from my ancestors. Have you seen the hole in this table? Isn't it round? Qin Qiong dug it out by himself!... You are looking at the layer of carbon ash underneath, look at it Look, how decisive is the smoke? Du Ru is a dark pot... Oh yes, there is also this big black pot, which was carried by my ancestors!"

Ho!
Absolutely!

A beautiful story through the ages!
