The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 33

Speaking of this day, a few little brothers practiced martial arts for a day and returned to Chen Honghu's house.

"Brother Fu, are you hungry?" Ding Dong turned his head and asked Bai Fu.

"Can you not be hungry? It's been a day." Bai Fu said in a bad mood.

"Is there anything to eat in the house?" Tang Li walked around the house, looking for some rations to satisfy his hunger.But turned around and found nothing.So he scolded: "Third brother, hurry up and marry a wife. Look at your house, you don't even have a steamed bun."

Hearing this, Chen Honghu rolled his eyes and said with a sly smile: "Old Tang, don't push me, the third brother will treat you to a good meal today." Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he dragged everyone out of the room.

It's deep winter, the moon is as cool as water, and the cold is oppressive.The streets and alleys of Chengdu are lonely, and even the dogs are reluctant to bark in such a wet and cold night.

As soon as he stepped out of the building, Bai Fu shivered.With his hands in his pockets and his neck tucked into his collar, he asked suspiciously, "Third Brother, where can I get something to eat in the middle of the night?"

Chen Honghu didn't speak, pretending to be mysterious, and pulled everyone into an alley quickly.There are families scattered in the alley.Chen Honghu pointed to the eaves, and then said: "Look, the food is on it."

Bai Fu looked up and realized suddenly.It turned out that as the New Year approached, every household in Chengdu smoked a lot of sausages and bacon and hung them under the eaves to dry.

Bai Fu whispered: "Are we trying to steal?" Ding Dong rolled his eyes and said, "This is called stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. This alley is full of well-known rich men in Chengdu, understand?"

Bai Fu understood, and said: "Then come!"

Chen Honghu took out a large earthen cloth from his bosom, handed it to Ding Dong and Bai Fu, and said, "Let's continue below, old Tang Qinggong is good, come and pick up the goods." Tang Li was not polite, he kicked the wall, Flying onto the eaves.He took out the dagger, clicked it a few times, and the sausage and bacon fell directly into the cloth pocket.The elder brothers are very energetic and happy, and in less than a stick of incense, the pot is full.

Honghu put it away when he saw it, and said softly: "Tahu!" The young men tidied up quickly and slipped back quickly.Only Tang Li turned over with a kite, and disappeared in other alleys.A few dogs barking and pigs neighing were faintly heard in the distance.

Bai Fu was puzzled: "Old Tang, won't you eat?"

Honghu put his arms around Bai Fu's neck and said, "Old Tang went to steal vegetables. Let's go back first."

The three returned to the hut, and just as they were about to close the door, Tang Li came back, holding a basket of vegetables and mushrooms in his left hand, and four fresh pig tails with blood in his right hand.

Ding Dong saw the bloody pig's tail and laughed loudly: "I knew you wouldn't let Wang Laocai go."

Tang Li threw the things on the stove and smiled faintly: "Third brother, the freshly cut vegetables depend on your skills."

"Please do it!" Chen Honghu stoked the fire under the stove, added a few pieces of pine wood, and used a bellows to heat up the fire.When the pot boiled, Chen Honghu poured the butter in the pot into the pot, added seasonings such as chili, scallion, ginger, and garlic, and stir-fried it a few times with a wooden spatula, filling the room with fragrance.

"Yes, eat hot pot!" Bai Fu roared.

"Which is long-winded, hurry up and prepare." Honghu was overjoyed.

Bai Fu and Ding Dong hurriedly took out the sausage and bacon from their cloth pockets, cut them into small pieces, and poured them into the pot.After a while, the red chili oil began to roll, the bacon floated on the surface of the pot, and the greasy fragrance in the cabin made the index finger move.

"Let's eat!" Ding Dong rushed forward holding the bowl and chopsticks.Bai Fu picks up a piece of hot sausage. The smoked sausage has a strong pine aroma, mixed with the spicy soup oil of the hot pot. It is spicy, spicy, and hot. It is an authentic Chengdu taste!The tip of Bai Fu's tongue was immediately conquered, he stretched out his thumb, and praised: "It's really Ba Shi!"

However, Chen Honghu was not in a hurry to pick up the food, he lifted up the floor under the bed, took out a jar of old wine, and there were a few large words on the jar, "Flick your clothes away".He smashed the old clay that sealed the altar, lifted the lid of the altar, and the aroma of wine overflowed.Proudly said: "Brother Fu, taste the treasure of my town house! This is the old wine from the Zhuo family in Linqiong. Yes, it is the Zhuo family from Zhuo Wenjun in the Western Han Dynasty!"

"Third brother, you still have this good thing!" Bai Fu punched Chen Honghu excitedly.Ding Dong took the wine, took out a few ceramic bowls from the kitchen cabinet, and poured them for the brothers.The color of the wine is slightly yellow, and the aroma of the wine is clear.

"Do it!" The four teenagers sat on their knees with long bodies, raised their wine glasses, and acted like adults, raised their necks, poured the wine into their mouths, and shouted: "Good wine! A line of throat", and clapped their hands and laughed loudly.

After a few cups, the four of them blushed and felt even more proud.After drinking for three rounds, Bai Fu slapped the table, stood up, and sang loudly.Ding Dong took out the Hu Jia to add to the fun, and Hong Hu and Tang Li also sang in unison. It was Li Bai's new work "Xia Ke Xing" which is well-known all over the world:
Zhao Keman and Hu Ying, Wu Goushuang Xueming.

The silver saddle illuminates the white horse, rustling like a meteor.

Kill ten people in ten steps, and stay in a thousand miles.
