Chapter 240 Gas Mask
In the early morning of the next day, Sun Hou, staring at the morning mist and dew, went up the mountain carrying big and small bags.In the open space in front of the small shop, I saw Erzai who was practicing "Bajiquan". Sun Hou, who heard the thunderous punches and seen Erzai's abnormal strength, could only smack his tongue inwardly, not knowing that he was hit by this fellow. With one punch, will he fly to Zhongnan Mountain?

Er Zaizi saw Sun Hou and recognized him, so he stopped practicing boxing and ran over to take the big and small bags for him.

Although Chen Wei asked him to bring [-] catties of charcoal, Sun Hou bought a full [-] catties of charcoal, and even used horses to bring it up the mountain.But Er Zaizi held it like a sack of cotton in one hand, walking like flying, watching Sun Hou, who had experienced many battles and seen many powerful generals with amazing physical strength, trembled.

Chen Wei has always had the habit of getting up early, Er Zaizi was practicing boxing outside, and he was making breakfast in the kitchen. Wang Weixiu stood nervously behind him, watching quietly, her beautiful eyes were still slightly red and swollen.

"People have to eat when they are alive, whether you are a high-ranking official or a lady or a humble commoner. If you want to eat, you have to cook. A woman who has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is elegant, and cooking and cooking is vulgar. These are those The bullshit theory of being full and doing nothing, no matter how beautiful and noble a woman is, she still wants to shit?"

"Ordinary people can't do without fireworks in the world. Some people in my hometown say: women have three brains, that is, the head of the pot, the head of the shoe, the head of the needle, and the head of the needle. That is to say, women can't do without the pot, and they can't lose the sewing work. Of course, I don't agree with this sentence, but a woman who can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen is worth admiring."

"In fact, the principle of being a human being is the same as that of cooking. You have to withstand hot fire and soak in cold water. If you don't go through a little bit of wind and rain, most of them are inferior goods with gold and jade, and rot...pass me a bowl of water ..."

Wang Weixiu's beautiful and elegant face didn't know whether she was nervous or the kitchen was too hot, her face was profuse with sweat, and her thin lips were a little pale. She picked up a bowl of water and handed it to Chen Wei.

Chen Wei took the water and poured it into the pot. With a chirp, white smoke rose from the pot, and a few drops splashed onto Wang Weixiu's arm. Although it hurt, he didn't dare to cry out, and took a step back slightly.

Chen Wei glanced at her, not sure if he was addicted, and continued: "Sage Kong said: A gentleman is far away from the kitchen. He thinks that a gentleman is a person who does great things, and should not be buried between pots and stoves." As a result, not long after he finished speaking, when Confucius, a gentleman, traveled around the six countries, the disciples he brought with him didn’t know how to cook, and those who were so hungry didn’t even have the energy to read. Finally, he asked a woman to help him cook. Afterwards, the women asked him for wages, and finally Confucius, who had half a mouthful of food to eat, sighed, "It's hard to raise a woman and a villain"..."

Wang Weixiu couldn't help but said: "Nonsense..."

Chen Wei chuckled, "I've seen it for you."

After nagging for a long time, not knowing if Wang Weixiu had learned anything, Chen Wei untied the apron, went outside, saw Sun Hou, and asked, "Is it all ready?"

"It's all right. Lintong County is small, and the store only buys and sells rice wine, but these jars are all aged wine. Go is even harder to find. In the countryside, there are not many people who can play Go. This pair of Go is bought from an old monk in the temple. Yes, it is more expensive than the sum of these jars of aged wine..." Sun Hou laughed.

Chen Wei nodded, and caught a glimpse of Wang Weixiu's eyes shining slightly when she saw Go, she was sick, he slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and asked Sun Hou to open the altar of wine, just in time for the dishes.

Naturally, Wang Weixiu would not take the initiative, so Chen Wei pretended to ask Wang Weixiu to put the Go back into the room.She was very resistant to Chen Wei's domineering orders, but this time she was not too dissatisfied, and returned to the room obediently.

Don't care about the early morning, the two drank a few bowls and ate a few small dishes.

"Last night, we sent people eight hundred li to rush back to Luoyang. We should be able to reach Luoyang today, but the ballista transportation will be a bit slow. It will take at least four days to reach Lintong County." Sun Hou said.

"Well, that's enough. Has the person sent on the trail got any news back?"

"Yesterday, the kerosene they bought from various towns was transported into the underground palace. I don't know what it is for. But what is certain is that, except for a small number of people guarding at the foot of the mountain, the rest of the people in Kongtong Mountain and Cao Fang have all entered the underground palace. .”

"At three o'clock tonight, bring all the people to deal with the guards outside, and then seal all the exits."

"The people below are all ready, just waiting for the right time."

"Well, let's get ready."

"Then leave first."

When Sun Hou left, Chen Wei moved the charcoal outside the door into the kitchen. When passing by the inner room, he caught a glimpse of Wang Weixiu playing Go, playing black and white pieces alone. Chen Wei glanced at the chess board and knew that Wang Weixiu's Go level was between [-] and [-]. above average.

Entering the kitchen, Chen Wei took out part of the charcoal, smashed it into small pieces, and put it into a small sack.The pot on the stove was boiling water, and Chen Wei poured two catties of salt into it. After boiling, he put the charcoal from the sack into the pot and pressed it down with a wooden board.Half an hour later, I took out the hot charcoal, rinsed it with clean water, and then boiled it in salt water. After repeating this five times, I asked Er Zaizi to take it outside to dry in the sun.

Wang Weixiu, who was playing chess alone in the room, was also confused by Chen Wei. Seeing Chen Wei take out the dark charcoal from the pot, the black boy thought it was edible, took a bite and found that he was tricked , dissatisfied, ran to Chen Wei's feet and urinated profusely, was chased by Chen Wei and ran all over the mountain, seeing that the panting Chen Wei couldn't catch up, he grinned his fangs triumphantly.

In the evening, Chen Wei taught the second cub how to play Go, and Wang Weixiu sat far away, but her eyes glanced this way from time to time.

Naturally, Go is not an airplane chess, it is very difficult, even if the second boy scratches his head for a long time, he can only distinguish between black and white.No matter how patient Chen Wei is, he will inevitably feel discouraged.Seeing Wang Weixiu ready to try, Chen Wei asked, "Would you like a plate?"

Wang Weixiu turned around, although she was fond of making tea, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, she obviously still had a grudge against Chen Wei.

Chen Wei smiled, and made a bet that she couldn't resist: "If you can eat my ten sons, I won't force you to do homework and cook."

Wang Weixiu bit her lip and sat down in front of Chen Wei.

As a result, Wang Weixiu defeated Chenwei's nine sons and lost miserably.His eyes were complicated, he didn't expect that this strong man could not only cook, but also play chess far better than himself.

Wang Weixiu refused to accept it and asked for another round.Chen Wei readily agreed, but in the end Wang Weixiu was slaughtered by him after only eating nine sons.

After three rounds in a row, after confirming that Chen Wei deliberately let her get nine pieces, and knowing that the level gap between the two sides was so great, she surrendered desolately, and her fighting spirit disappeared.

Chen Wei didn't hit her either, and said lightly that whenever he was sure that he could eat my ten sons, I would accompany her at any time.

Wang Weixiu smiled self-deprecatingly, a bit bitterly.

Chen Wei continued to work on his charcoal, and the second boy sometimes went to practice boxing, and when he was tired, he ran over and squatted next to the chessboard to watch Wang Weixiu think hard.

To Chen Wei's great surprise, Wang Weixiu's memory was astonishing, and she was able to memorize the whole third game against him from beginning to end. A photographic memory seems to describe a person like her.

After drying the charcoal for two days, the finished product was finally produced.

Er Zaizi squatted beside Chen Wei, watching him carefully collect the charcoal.

"Brother, can this be eaten?"

"No, but it can save lives."

"Is it a fairy medicine?"

"It's called activated carbon."

"Will putting it in this long nose mask save lives?"

"Hmm, that's right."

"Can you give me some bro?"

"What's the use of you coming?"

"I wonder if I can save daddy."
