Chapter 126 Uninvited Guest (2)
"Why don't you ask those soldiers..." Third Master Zeng put on his face and begged, "Wotou and dry food are all available, brother, I don't choose, just take care of the food. In the cellar, there is a shortage of clothes and food. , My front chest is almost sticking to my back!"

"The officers and soldiers didn't bring any food with them when they were chasing the bandits," Feng Shen looked up at the night, and said, "It's almost dawn, so please bear with me, third master, and I'll treat you later." Have a good meal."

"No price!" Zeng San said anxiously, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly! Look at me now, it turns out that my fat body is gone!"

Feng Shen glanced at it, and jokingly said: "The stomach is a bit deflated, but the rest of the body is still rich. Third master, you go to take a bath and change clothes first, I have to report to the prince."

"Look at my memory!" Zeng Sanyi patted his head, "I forgot that King Su is still waiting. But brother Feng, you have to be tight, if you really starve me, you won't bear it." no?"

Feng Shen smiled and said, "Third Master, don't worry, I'll come as soon as I go."

While Feng Shen was talking to King Su, Third Master Zeng went to the well, fetched water and grass to wash it, and then went to the house to find an old shirt and change it.His body felt refreshed, but his stomach was still rumbling with hunger. Third Master Zeng couldn't stand it anymore, and went to the front yard again.

After a few steps, Feng Shen walked towards him. "Third Master."

"Brother Feng", Zeng San tiptoed forward. "Where's the old man, my lord?"

Feng Shen said: "The front foot just led the soldiers away."

Zeng San asked again: "Stop chasing those gangsters?"

"I have to take it easy for a while," Feng Shen waved his hand and said, "My lord stayed up all night, I will discuss with him after he has rested."

"Hey," Zeng San smiled shyly, "Brother Feng, I know you haven't closed your eyes all night, so I don't dare to bother you anymore...but...but brother, my belly...hehehe..."

"Third Master is gone," Feng Shen also said with a smile, "Let's go to the street to find something to eat!"

In the early morning, the sky was twilight, and the restaurants on the street were not open.The two walked around for a long time, but they couldn't find a meal.

While feeling worried, Third Master Zeng slapped his thigh. "What restaurant are you looking for? Let's go to Tianqiao to have a look!"

Feng Shen was stunned: "Flyover?"

"That's right," Zeng Sanye said, "I remember there's a stewed stew stall at Tianqiao, and it opens at the end of the fifth watch. Now that the hour is past, I'll keep some to eat!"

Feng Shen frowned slightly, "It's too greasy to eat stewed food this early in the morning..."

"Haha, bro, don't worry too much!" Zeng Sanye said, "The stewed intestines at that store are fat but not greasy, and the meat is rotten but not bad. A bowl of small intestines and two fires will satisfy your hunger and fill you up." Hurry up and go! As soon as I say this, my halazi is about to come down!"

"Okay," Feng Shen smiled slightly, "Since it's strongly recommended by the third master, let's try it."

As soon as we arrived at the bridge, a strong aroma came to our face.Feng Shen looked up, and there was a clay stove at the corner of the alley, and a hanging pot was simmering on the stove. An old man stood by and added some firewood to the stove from time to time.A boy and a half on the side, busy before and after, set up stools and wiped the table.

"Hey, it's really early, you two." Seeing a guest, the half-sized boy put a rag on his shoulders. "We just came out of the stall."

"Ah?" Third Master Zeng was taken aback, "How long do we have to wait?"

"There's no need to wait," the half-sized man said with a smile, "It's all ready-made, just let it heat up."

"That's it," Zeng Sanye said, and Feng Shen dragged a stool to sit down. "I'll make Dahai Bowl to greet you later, add some small intestines, and add some sliced ​​lungs, you won't be short of money! Brother Feng, how about you?"

Feng Shen said: "It's the same as the third master."

"Okay." The half-sized boy agreed, and shouted, "There are two big bowls of intestines and lungs!"

"Shirong", the old man stared, and blamed in a low voice, "Why are you yelling? Do you want to be a training hall? Come out and see a booth and make you feel embarrassed. Why don't you come over and fight!"

"Here comes dad," said the half-grown boy, but he still had a playful smile on his face after being scolded. "I'll cut the fire."

As he said that, the half-sized boy took a few baked hard noodles and set them on fire, and with a well-shaped knife, he made two strokes horizontally and vertically.

Fire up, cut, and serve in a bowl.When clouds of white gas came out of the hanging pot, the old man fished out some overcooked intestines and lungs and spread them in the bowl.After adding sesame oil, fermented bean curd, mashed garlic, chive flowers and other condiments, pour a spoonful of old soup, two bowls of steaming stew, it is considered complete.

"It's out of the pot," the middle-aged man put the boiled stew on the table, "You two guests take it easy."

Third Master Zeng didn't think it was too hot, so he picked it up when he pulled his chopsticks.With a sucking sound, a piece of small intestine entered the stomach. "It's so delicious! Brother Feng, hurry up and taste it!"

"Okay." Feng Shen also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

"How is it?" Third Master Zeng asked.

"Mmm," Feng Shen praised, "this stewed stew is soaked in enough soup, leaving a fragrance in the throat and teeth, with endless aftertaste, it's really good!"

"That's right, brother, can I still lie to you?" Third Master Zeng said with a smile, "Eat and eat, I'm really proud of it!"

"The key is this soup," Feng Shen said, "if it's not fully cooked, it won't have such a strong taste."

"Young master, you are an expert!" The middle-aged man gave Feng Shen a big thumbs-up, "Our old soup is boiled with mutton bone sticks. As for how to prepare it, hehe... I can't tell you more gone."

Feng Shen said with a smile: "Little brother, your craftsmanship is so good, you can set up a shop in the future and set up a few more chairs."

"Did you hear dad?" The half-sized man turned his head and said to the old man, "This young master also said that it would be nice to have a shop!"

The old man ignored the young man, and apologized to Feng Shen with a smile: "Guest officer, don't tease my stupid son. This year when it rains in the Grain Rain, our father and I just came here from our hometown. I heard that the capital's wharf is big, so I will Thinking about coming here. I didn’t dare to think about opening a store and setting up a number. We are satisfied if we can take root and settle down here.”

"Father, you just have short-sightedness!" The middle-aged man said angrily, "Our Chen family's braised stew is an ancestral craftsmanship. As long as there is a big door, the business is guaranteed to be booming!"

The old man snorted, "Return the face, where's the capital?"

The half-sized boy slapped his chest. "I'm here to save!"

"Just you?" The old man curled his lips, "The eyeballs grow on the top of the head, pointing to you, I'm afraid that the Year of the Monkey will be here!"

"Father, don't look down on people!" The half-sized boy said angrily, "Even if I can't do it, I will have a son in the future! If my son can't do it, don't I have a grandson? Just wait! I will sooner or later Our stewed semi-colon is spread all over the forty-nine cities!"

"The more the wind blows, the more boundless it becomes. Don't be afraid that the wind will flash your tongue? You haven't saved enough money to beg for your wife. What do you think about your son and grandson? Don't disturb the guest officer for dinner, just go to work!" After scolding his son, the old man went on They cupped their hands at Feng and Zeng. "Let the two masters watch the joke, eat and drink well."

Feng Shen nodded and smiled back.Third Master Zeng didn't realize it, he just ate so much that his mouth was full of greasy food.After a while, I boiled a large bowl of stew, and I saw the bottom of it.

"Third Lord," Feng Shen said, "order another bowl?"

"No need", Third Master Zeng burped, "I can't hold it anymore!"

"Okay then." Feng Shen looked around and lowered his voice, "Third Master, there is something... I have to ask you for help."

"Help?" Third Master Zeng said with a wry smile, "Brother, I am in such a desperate state, how can I help you?"

"That's it," Feng Shen said, "Before leaving, the lord asked me to ask you about the appearance of the gang of remnants, and I will describe them in detail in the future so that I can post the arrest documents."

"Oh," said Third Master Zeng, "but apart from that pair of dogs, I haven't seen any other villains!"

Feng Shen asked: "Didn't the third master say that he was once beaten by that group of gangsters?"

"Yeah," Zeng Sanye said, "but at that time they swarmed up, and I was dizzy from the beating. How could I see their appearance? Later, I was locked in the cellar. When they delivered food and water, they were all blindfolded." face!"

"So that's it," Feng Shen said again, "What about Dong Dahai? Apart from his stature, is his original appearance similar to the third master?"

"I'm much fairer than him!" Third Master Zeng said angrily, "That kid is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, with a flat nose and flat eyes. He looks short-lived at first glance!"

"Third Master, please keep your voice down," Feng Shen continued to ask, "Then what does Haitang look like?"

"That bastard with willow eyebrows and almond eyes is pretty pretty..." said Mr. Zeng, "Oh, she has a red mole on the corner of her eyebrows, which is easy to spot. Sigh... I heard that women with this kind of face are flirtatious, but But the bitch said she was "happy eyebrows". Now think about it, my brother was crazy at the time. He was also happy, bah! It's just a peach blossom mole! Not to mention adultery, but also attracted Bad guys are taking over my family business, brother, tell me, what the hell is this...?"

As Third Master Zeng said, he touched the wound again, and he couldn't help weeping.Seeing this, Feng Shen hurriedly persuaded him: "Look at it, third master, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood!"

"Yes!" Third Master Zeng wiped his face violently. "Brother, you're right! It's a great fortune not to be killed by that bastard this time. As long as there is life, why don't you worry about earning money? Why don't you worry about finding women?"

Feng Shen nodded and said: "If the third master can think so, then I can rest assured."

"That's it," said Third Master Zeng with a serious expression, "I miss my great-grandfather, but Zeng Guoquan, the Ninth Commander, and I, Zeng, can be counted as the next door after all. Wherever I fall, I have to get up from there! I want to regroup, Create another big business with nothing!"

"With the courage of the third master alone, the revival of the family is definitely within reach." Feng Shen thought for a while, and then said, "Third master, follow me back to the house later, I will take some silver and help you in an emergency."

Third Master Zeng resigned hurriedly: "This...how is this so embarrassing?"

Feng Shen waved his hand, "Why do you and I see each other?"

"Good brother!" Third Master Zeng said with tears in his eyes, "A friend in need is a friend! Don't worry, brother. When my brother recovers, I will pay you back double the capital with interest!"
