Volume 4: The Sleepless Snake Chapter 28: Eat and watch a show at the same time!
hiss!
When asked, the young master of the Zhang family took a breath of cold air.
Although it was not late at night, it was getting dark.
It's pitch dark here, and someone asks you, where is his head?
Tell me if it’s scary or not.
Those who are timid will be slapped on the spot.
Zhang Deshou, the young master of the Zhang family is not a timid person. He has inherited the "Tao of Immortality". In addition to the miscellaneous things he has learned in his daily life, he thinks he is extraordinary.
So, after the young master of the Zhang family felt a pang in his heart, he did not run away. Instead, he changed from half-squatting and half-sitting on the ground to completely squatting on the ground.
There is something particular about the way he squats.
To use the parlance in the industry, it is called "carp jump", which is both powerful and flexible.
Maintaining such a posture that allows him to attack or defend, the young master of the Zhang family raised his eyes slightly and looked at the master.
This guy is wearing police uniform.
But there is blood on the clothes.
A bit dirty.
Moreover, there were two arms hanging on the chest, but the middle was bare.
What a clue!
Evil spirit!
The hair of the young master Zhang stood up. At this time, the man took another step forward, as if he wanted to pull the young master Zhang with his hands .
There was no way Zhang Deshou would let this thing get tossed around.
Does anyone know if there is any other explanation for this thing?
What if something happens?
Zhang Deshou pushed off the ground with his feet and jumped up from the ground like a carp leaping out of the water, quickly and nimbly, with his back sticking to the wall without any fuss.
It was lifted up and didn't fall down.
Moreover, it can move flexibly.
'Gecko Wall Climbing Skill'!
Just like the 'Carp Leap', this 'Gecko Wall Climbing Technique' was also learned by the young master of the Zhang family at a great price from an old martial artist in a certain industry.
That old martial artist was quite famous back then.
Unfortunately, his wife and children were killed by his enemies.
Even if revenge is finally achieved, the spirit is gone.
Especially when you get older, all the illnesses and hidden injuries from your youth will break out.
By chance, he was met by Zhang Deshou.
At that time, Zhang Deshou had already been branded as a "prodigal son" and didn't care about money anymore. Feeling sorry for the old martial artist, he spent a lot of money on him, cured his injuries, and gave him a large amount of silver before leaving.
The old martial arts master had no way to repay Zhang Deshou, so he could only pass on all his abilities to Zhang Deshou.
'Carp Jump', 'Gecko Wall Climbing', 'Air-Splitting Palm' and the unique skill of throwing darts.
With his back against the wall, Zhang Deshou moved quickly and could see the master more clearly.
The place in the middle of the cavity where the head was supposed to grow was cut off completely, and the flesh and blood could be seen clearly.
How evil!
This time Zhang Deshou did not hesitate and raised his hand to reach behind him.
A small leather bag appeared in his hand.
Where is the skin hidden?
This is the unique skill of darts.
Before the dart is taken out, no one knows where it is hidden. Anyway, you can just raise your hand and look behind you.
Zhang Deshou shook his hands, and the young master of the Zhang family threw the small leather bag at the headless creature like a dart.
Bang!
The skin ruptured.
The fishy-smelling liquid inside was pouring out.
What liquid?
Black dog blood!
The best way to ward off evil spirits!
Moreover, it was refined using the method of 'Eternal Life' and is three times stronger than ordinary black dog blood.
But even in such a bloody drama, the headless guy was hit but was fine.
Not only was he fine, he howled even louder.
"Where's my head?"
Oh my god!
Zhang Deshou was calling out to his mother in his heart. He always felt that those novels were lies. First, he begged the master for help, and the master would definitely accept him as a disciple and give him benefits, which was fake. Now it happened again. Isn’t it said that you will only encounter minions when you go out of the mountains? Why did I encounter them directly, and even the refined black dog blood was useless?
The young master of the Zhang family complained in his heart, but his hands did not listen.
Bang!
He raised his hand and struck the headless man twice, forcing him to retreat repeatedly. Then he climbed up the wall and ran along the top of it.
That speed is so fast.
That posture was so embarrassing.
Goethe, who was "watching" secretly, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
How can a headless corpse stand up and ask questions?
Of course it was Goethe who manipulated it.
He had already noticed the young master of the Zhang family who was quietly approaching, and he also realized that this man was like a dog-skin plaster, and once he was stuck, it would be impossible to pull him off.
I have to stick something on it before I can leave.
But ever since Goethe could remember, he was the only one who took advantage of others and stole things. How could anyone else do this to him?
Moreover, he and the other party were just doing a deal.
He would not pamper anyone who was not related to him.
So, this is what happened.
Just to scare people, of course.
Goethe did not kill anyone.
The headless corpse is also an acquaintance.
It’s Song Rentou, the head of the Song squad.
Everyone, tell me, isn’t Song Rentou dead?
Is dead.
But his head was chopped off.
It wasn't Goethe who chopped it off.
The one who had his head chopped off was someone else. Goethe just borrowed Song Rentou's voice and used the secret techniques he learned from those [treasure cards] to make good use of the waste. The Goethe who chopped off Song Rentou's head was still "watching" with anticipation in his eyes.
Goethe's smile and the expectation in his eyes were not concealed, so naturally they could not be hidden from the people present.
Lao Wang smiled and gave his old brother a thumbs up.
Wang Changgui grinned even more.
He arranged tonight's dinner to entertain Goethe.
Now Goethe is happy and he has face.
"Mr. Mo, Jinjialou is the most famous old restaurant in Haimen. Two of the chefs in the restaurant used to work in the palace. They are not visible to ordinary people.
Today, thanks to you, I have money.
With some luck, we can have a good meal.”
Wang Changgui said with a smile.
It’s said that businessmen are good at talking.
Even though he almost lost everything, he used the compensation money to prepare a banquet and said it was all thanks to Goethe.
Anyone who listens to it will feel comfortable.
"TOEFL, TOEFL."
Goethe smiled and clasped his fists.
When someone invites him to dinner, he never has a sullen face.
No one owes him anything.
Instead, it will affect innocent people.
At this time, if you turn your face away, it would be really inhumane.
Both sides were in harmony, and both the host and the guests naturally had a great time.
While chatting and waiting for the food to be served, Goethe ate some dried fruits on the table.
In order to keep the guests from getting bored while waiting, four kinds of dried fruits and tea are essential.
Li Changhai likes this.
He kept smacking his lips.
Miss Wang and Huang Dangdang stopped arguing at this time. It was true that they were still somewhat confrontational, but they did force it in front of Goethe - they were not fools.
Goethe's attitude in leaving without saying a word in the morning was obvious.
If they continue to quarrel, they will probably have to stand aside.
Why stand aside?
We have to make room for the obedient ones.
They just won't do that.
The eldest daughter of the Wang family really likes Goethe.
Huang Dangdang just couldn't accept Wang Xiaofeng's attitude.
But the two people's purpose at this moment is surprisingly the same. Since they arrived first, they would never give up their seats, even if they had to occupy them.
Without the quarrel between the two, the atmosphere became more harmonious.
As the local host, Wang Changgui did not sit in the main seat, but invited Goethe to sit in the main seat. At this time, he smiled and pointed to the words behind Goethe.
"Mr. Mo, what do you think of this calligraphy?"
This couplet hangs behind Goethe.
There are four big words in total: perfection.
There are certain rules for where to hang what words.
For example, in the living room, you can hang a banner for family happiness.
In the bedroom, hang a prayer sign saying "May you have a baby soon".
In the study, hang a picture of inspiration flowing.
It’s a good idea to keep the toilet unobstructed.
This is at home, there are even more outside.
Generally, those who are ambitious, most of whom work in government offices, like to hang up the "Purple Qi Coming from the East" ornament.
The medicine in the pharmacy can cure any disease.
The grocery store has everything.
They all fit the meaning, but the restaurants are different.
When a restaurant opens for business, they will hang all kinds of slogans, including ones that wish good fortune, ones that wish a variety of flavors, and ones that wish honesty and honesty.
But, perfection is different.
This is to praise the cooking skills and dishes.
“What kind of dish is this?”
Goethe asked directly.
"You will find out in a moment."
Wang Changgui spoke mysteriously.
After a while, the food was served.
The cuisine of Haimen is different from that of the black soil area. The cuisine of the black soil area emphasizes large quantity, while the cuisine of Haimen is more refined. Not only is the presentation of the dishes exquisite, but the utensils used are also exquisite.
Just like this dish of roasted four treasures.
The pure golden plate is supported by four legs. Sea cucumbers, fish skirts, fish maws, and beef tendons are laid out from the middle and layer by layer to the edge of the plate. The colors are bright and the layers are clear. Especially the sea cucumber in the middle is wrapped in a layer of ham, and a piece of scallop is cut on it with a flower knife. When the bright broth is poured in, it looks like a blooming flower.
Goethe took a sip of his soup.
Fresh and juicy.
But this is definitely not the finale.
After waiting for a while, I suddenly heard a gong.
clang!
The sound of the gong attracted everyone in the restaurant, and then four waiters came out from the kitchen carrying a whole roasted lamb and started serving it.
“This roasted whole lamb is so delicious!”
"Is it Sunit? Or Wu Zhenzhu?"
If there are guests in the building who don’t understand, just speak up.
Immediately, I noticed that my companion was smiling.
"What's wrong?"
"What did I say wrong?"
the guest asked hurriedly.
“That’s not wrong.”
“It’s just not complete.”
"That sheep is a beach sheep, and there is something fishy going on inside.
I don’t know who spent so much money to eat this dish. If it were a normal family, the money earned from this dish would be enough for a family of six to live for a year.”
As the man's companion spoke, he looked towards the private room upstairs with envy.
In the private room, the owner of the Jin's Restaurant, the one who rang the gong, had already stood in front of Goethe. After bowing respectfully, he picked up the knife and started to cut the lamb.
Cut a goose out of the sheep's stomach.
The meat and glutinous rice were cut out from the goose's stomach.
He poured it into a bowl and handed it to Goethe with both hands.
This is……
meal?
"The food record in Volume 234 of Taiping Guangji states that a goose is placed inside a lamb, sewn together and roasted. When the lamb is cooked, the lamb can be removed. The goose is eaten whole, which is called 'Hun Yang Mei Hu'.
The Hun Yang Mo Hu of our restaurant is slightly improved. The rice is glutinous rice, and the meat is ham. The mutton is rubbed inside and out with bay leaves, fennel, cinnamon, angelica, green and red peppercorns and salt, and then the whole sheep is marinated with onions and ginger..."
The hotel owner talked incessantly.
Goethe couldn't wait to take a bite of the meal.
Suddenly, I was stunned.
The rice is chewy and soft, which is beyond imagination, especially the oiliness of the goose, the fat fragrance of the lamb, and the salty taste of the ham, which are completely interconnected and make people unable to stop.
Subconsciously, I took another bite.
Seeing that the distinguished guests were satisfied with the meal, the owner of Jin's Restaurant smiled and began to distribute rice, mutton and goose meat.
According to ancient customs, the emperor and his subjects ate the same meal, the emperor ate rice and the subjects ate meat.
However, it is not so particular now.
All that matters is eating happily.
Li Changhai was eating the lamb leg with his mouth full of oil, and he was mumbling as he ate.
"tasty!"
“This lamb is so crispy!”
“This goose meat is so tender!”
"And this meal, I have never eaten such delicious meal!"
The words may be rough, but the truth is there.
Li Changhai's words were basically the words of everyone at the table. At this time , a clerk from the herbal medicine shop ran in with sweat all over his forehead. He looked at Goethe, then looked at his own shopkeeper, and handed a stack of visiting cards to his own shopkeeper.
"This is?"
Wang Changgui looked at the visiting card and was stunned at first, then looked surprised.
This is not Wang Changgui’s fault, but the weight of this pile of posts is too heavy.
The top two pictures are the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang.
Next are the four main gates of Haimen: Fengma, Yanque and others.
Following are the four more doors with 'golden skin and colorful hangings'.
Below that, there are boxing gyms, small clubs, etc., no less than thirty in total.
Wang Changgui held the post and looked at Goethe.
Goethe had anticipated this.
"Just say I'm not feeling well and I'm closing the door to you."
As Goethe spoke, he served himself another bowl of rice and tore off a goose leg. Although he didn't eat as much as Li Changhai, with his mouth full of oil, he was still very satisfied.
There's nothing wrong with this look.
However, Wang Changgui also knew what Goethe meant.
He immediately thought about how to reject these people. It was easy to deal with the small gangs and associations below, and also the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang above, but the difficult part was the eight major gangs in the middle.
'Feng Ma Yan Que' looks like an elegant name, but it is actually a lie.
The "Golden Skin and Colorful Decorations" also include "divination", "medicine", "magic" and "martial arts".
If these people start making trouble, it will not end well.
Moreover, these people are very concerned about their reputation. If they are rejected directly, some people will definitely be dissatisfied.
Although it didn't cause any big trouble, it was still annoying.
"Changgui, give me the post. I have two acquaintances there."
Lao Wang said this and took the post.
Wang Changgui is the local shopkeeper of the Wang family. Now that the shop is there, he cannot show up in many cases. Once things go wrong, there will definitely be narrow-minded people who will target the shop.
Those people don't care about the fact that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor.
Even though it's burning you.
Therefore, Lao Wang planned to talk to the people from the "Medicine Gate" he was familiar with and make things right.
What is Jianghu?
The world of martial arts is not all about fighting and killing, there are also human relationships and social conventions.
When Old Wang took the note from Wang Changgui, Wang Changgui saw Goethe's mouth curl up. The shopkeeper Wang thought that Goethe had acquiesced and immediately let go.
Lao Wang thought that this was Mr. Mo's affirmation of himself, and he was also happy.
Only Goethe understood that this "play" of his was so interesting.
The young master of the Zhang family ran out of three blocks in a flash.
He turned around and saw that the leaderless guy didn't chase him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
But just as I was half relieved, I could vaguely hear bursts of crying.
The young master of the Zhang family is really brave.
Most people, if faced with the same thing as before, would be either scared to death or at least turn around and leave.
But the young master of the Zhang family did not do so.
He walked step by step towards the crying sound.
After turning into an alley, I saw a ball of fire and a figure.
The fire is burning vigorously.
The figure kneeled.
Before the young master of the Zhang family could figure it out, the figure suddenly raised a head and shouted -
"Here's the head!"
