Nightfall Chapter 188: A bullock cart is here

Volume One Early Morning Empire Chapter 188 comes with a bullock cart

A bullock cart came up in the wasteland.

The car is an ordinary wooden car. The wheels on the Wanli Road are slightly deformed. It is walking on the slightly hard grassland. It makes creaks and vibrates from time to time, leaving a trace that cannot be reached. After passing through the wet mud and soft grass, the ruts were a bit deep, and in the murky water seeping out, there were a few very thin fish jumping and jumping.

The cow is an ordinary big scalper. The legs and hoofs that have traveled thousands of miles are still strong, walking on the slightly hard grassland, mooing and low noises from time to time, ups and downs, eating grass, leaving a grass that cannot be reached. mark. After walking through the wet mud and soft grass, the hooves of the cows stepped a little deeper, and in the shallow flat depressions that they stepped on, there were a few white weeds lying silently.

The ordinary wooden carts on the Zhongyuan official road and the ordinary big scalpers between the fields of Zhongyuan, but appearing on the wasteland are very unusual. If someone can see this scene, they will find it very magical.

The man who drove the bullock cart was a scholar with straight eyebrows. The dust on his way made his old cotton robe look older, but his expression on his face looked more simple and amiable. The pair on the single shaft I don't know why I have been walking on the road for more than a year, but I haven't fallen apart. The water scoop around my waist swings slightly with the ups and downs of the ox cart.

Suddenly a song came from the ox cart.

"I'm always forbidden to go home...it makes people sad...yoy."

The scholar who drove smiled, stretched out his palm and patted the big ox on the back to signal it to stop, then turned to the carriage behind him and said, "Master, do you want to go home?"

The curtain is raised. An old man with a tall stature and gray hair came out. He rubbed his waist and stretched out his arms again. He looked at the boundless wasteland and said angrily: "I have been out for more than a year, and all these birds do not produce smoke. The place is sloshing, there is no food to eat, no fun to play, who doesn’t want to return to Chang'an?"

The old man is a master, so the scholar is naturally a big brother in the academy.

The big brother smiled slightly, helped the master’s arm to get out of the car, then took out a low bench from the ox cart and asked the master to sit down, comfortingly said: "It is good to be able to see the scenery along the way."

The Master is tall and tall. Sitting on a low bench, the hem of the cotton-padded jacket completely covers the bench. It looks like he is squatting on the grassland, and his appearance is a bit funny.

The master said displeased: "Is there any scenery to see? Atami is really freezing, I can't wash it even if I want to take a hot spring!"

"Although it cannot be a hot spring, at least there are peony fish to eat." Senior brother comforted.

There are seas in the extreme north and cold regions with volcanoes on the bottom of the sea. It is not frozen all year round, so it is called Atami. Deep in Atami, there is a fish named peony. It is described as tender and tender. If cut vertically with a knife, each piece of fish will look like flesh peony.

Such statements are probably only known to such figures as the master and apprentice.

Listening to the three characters for peony fish, the master gently stroked his chin and long beard, nodded in agreement, and said: "My teacher, I can’t agree with you more, as long as the peony fish enters the abdomen, it will take a long and arduous journey. It's worth it."

The big brother took out the kitchen knife and cutting board from the ox cart, took out a bucket, grasped the ice cube to melt the fat and tender peony fish in it, and when the fish fleshed to seven minutes, cut diagonally with the knife It started to cut raw.

Looking at the chopping board still fresh, the master began to move the peony fish slightly, stroking his beard and praised: "Food, of course, must be fresher and more rare to be delicious. If it weren’t for this kind of fish only produced in How can the Atami in the extreme north and cold region be attacked by heat and cold to produce such a fleshy quality? How can life be able to experience the beauty of life and hardship?"

The big brother smiled, did not answer the conversation, but concentrated on the knife. The peony fish is extremely fat, tender and slippery. Even if the kitchen knife is sharp, it is difficult to get into the skin without being messy. He cuts very slowly and carefully. There seems to be no distance between the two successive cuts. However, when the knife is lifted, the surface of the knife is already A layer of white fish fillets as thin as cicada wings is attached.

"If the river fish is cut raw, it should not be too thin, because too thin will lose its taste, and the peony fish is produced in the deep sea, and the meat is very elastic, so the thinner the better. My child, you have basically mastered some human principles these years ."

The master shook his head in admiration. He took out the soy sauce and a kind of green seasoning and **** juice from his arms with his left hand and poured it into the bowl, while the right hand stretched out to the cutting board very naturally, and the **** of the Chinese food picked up the thin slice. The white fish fillet in the bowl is gently swung like a koi tail, and then quickly sent to the lips.

While chewing, the master closed his eyes and enjoyed it, his face was as sweet as the peony fish in his mouth. After a while, he opened his eyes, looked at the slow cutting knife on the chopping board, and said anxiously: "Hurry up, then Hurry up."

The big brother smiled, the speed in his hand did not increase at all, and he still cut slowly and meticulously.

The master couldn’t wait any longer, grabbed the kitchen knife from his hand, sighed and said: "You kid is good at everything, but you can do everything slowly. I really want to die to death."

The big brother respectfully explained: "Students are dull, so they are always willing to think more when they start things."

"In this regard, you have to learn from Xiaomo, think when you should think, don’t think about it when you shouldn’t."

"The second younger brother is amazing and brilliant, beyond my ability."

"If he listens to you, wouldn't he be ashamed and dying like he was when he was a child?"

The master cut the knife like the wind, but after a while, the cutting board was piled up with flakes of fish like snowflakes, which really looked like a blooming white peony.

The remaining fish bones and internal organs are wrapped in a film, which looks as beautiful as a piece of amber.

The second brother came out at this time, so he got into the car and took two pairs of chopsticks. After the master was satisfied, he picked up a few pieces of peony fish and delivered the amber-like fish bone innards. In front of the big scalper's mouth.

It's natural for a big scalper to eat grass, but... the big scalper ate fish, and saw it opened its mouth and swallowed it, chewing and shaking the bull's head from time to time, looking extremely happy.

The master was holding a small hip flask and sipping slowly. When Yu Guangli saw this scene suddenly, he couldn't help but furiously scolded: "The cow chews the peony, it really spoils things! Where do fish eat like this!"

After saying this, the master brought out another precious peony fish from the ice bucket, rolled up the sleeves of the cotton-padded jacket, and the kitchen knife went up and down again. In a moment, a pile of white peony-like fish fillets appeared on the chopping board. .

The master picked up a piece of peony fish with chopsticks, dipped it in some seasoning, and threw it into the big scalper's mouth.

It turns out that what the Master said about spoiling is not that the big scalper eats peony fish and spoils things, but that this way of eating can’t taste the peony fish and spoils things.

The big scalper chewed twice, startled first, then two lines of clear tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and immediately began to shake his head, bouncing his forefoot, and mooing.

The big brother questioned: "Master, is it happy or spicy?"

The master said: "Of course I am happy."

The big brother thought that what the Master said will always be correct, so he took the chopsticks and continued to feed the big scalper to the peony fish.

……

……

In the extreme northern cold region where even a deserter can no longer survive, this big scalper can not be afraid of pulling a cart to wander around for a while and then come back safely. The body is still so strong, of course it is not an ordinary big scalper. , So it eats fish but not grass, and it is not incomprehensible.

The big brother cleaned the chopping board, knives, chopsticks, dishes, and then sat on the shaft and looked at the south for a while, and said: "I don't know how the college is now, how much influence the deserted people will have if they go south."

The master sits cross-legged on the bullock cart, reading a book in his hand, and replied casually: "You will know when you go back."

The big brother smiled and looked at the teacher and said: "The students are curious about who entered the second floor."

The master looked at the pages of the book, lowered his head and said: "I want to know if you want to see it yourself."

The big brother shook his head and smiled: "It's too far, I can't go back for a while."

After saying this, he suddenly stood up and looked at the northern part of the grassland with a clean smile on his face.

A row of extremely large black shadows appeared faintly there. Looking carefully, they were actually the snowy giant wolves who were forced to go south with the deserters in the northern cold region. Hundreds of giant wolves lined up like warriors. , The huge mountain-like figure gave people a great sense of coercion, but neither the Master nor him had much reaction.

On the contrary, the reaction of the snowy giant wolves is very strange. For them, the big scalpers from the Central Plains are as rare and delicious as the peony fish. But I don’t know why, the snowy giant wolves, which are known for their ferocity and bloodthirsty, didn’t pounce, but gave out stern words. Weeping, retreating backwards in horror, as if they perceive a horror atmosphere far beyond their imagination.

This group of snowy giant wolves is the same group of giant wolves who fought fiercely with the Tang brothers and sisters at the pass that day. I saw the thin male wolf, taking the huge and beautiful snow-capped female wolf out of the pack, slowly walking towards the bullock cart, and when he walked about a few hundred steps away from the bullock cart, the ordinary head The male wolf stopped and never dared to move forward.

Looking at the bullock cart, the small ordinary male wolf looked very agitated. His body trembled slightly and squatted, raising his two front paws, looking like a human student facing the teacher and holding a disciple.

The big brother looked at the male wolf and said in amazement: "Teacher, isn't this the wolf that was seven years ago? Actually married."

The master smiled slightly and did not speak.

The big brother glanced at the Master and found that the Master had no intention of objecting. He left the bullock cart and walked a few steps towards the ordinary male wolf. He raised his hand to the northwest of the grassland and said: "Don’t continue to the south, there are too many people over there. Many, go over there, and after five hundred miles, there is a large coniferous forest."

The ordinary male wolf swung his front paws to salute, leaned over and touched the ground with the wolf's head for a long time, then stood up, glanced at the bullock cart reluctantly, roared, and led his wife and subordinates to the northwest. go with.

"Let's go back to Chang'an."

The master rolled up the book, raised the curtain and walked into the bullock cart.

The second brother turned his head and smiled at the meadow in the distance, then sat on the single shaft and patted the cow on the back.

Squeaky, squeaky, ox cart go south.

……

……

Looking at the ox cart that was gradually disappearing at the end of the grassland, Tang Xiaotang stood up holding the sleeping little snow wolf with a look of confusion on his face. After a long time, he muttered, "This... is the Master? "

Tang stood beside her, looked at the rut left on the grassland, and nodded.

Tang Xiaotang shook his head, feeling that the greedy old man just now was completely different from the master he had imagined.

After a moment of silence, Tang said: "I wanted to see if there was an opportunity for you to become a teacher, but since the Master did not say, it means that the opportunity is not possible, and I will talk about it later."

Tang Xiaotang asked in surprise: "You mean the Master knows that we are peeking here?"

Tang turned and walked under the meadow, and said, "Since he is a master, he naturally knows everything."
