My Weird Life

  Chapter 533 Catch up with the big set (12)

  When the rooster crowed twice, the sky had not yet dawned.

  In an open space surrounded by woods, there was a rustling movement.

  First, there was the sound of donkeys and mules snorting and trampling on the soil.

   Immediately, the sound of someone's footsteps was interspersed with many small sounds.

   Next,

  The sound of the ax chopping firewood continued one after another.

  Following the sound of a few flints rubbing against each other, the open space in the shape of a '凵' surrounded by dense young trees lit up with fire.

  The fire is growing,

  It illuminates the surrounding tables that are built randomly with wood and stones.

   Around the blazing flames, there are several stoves built with mud and stones. The burly young man is busy filling the stoves with kindling, making the stoves red.

  The obese woman was wearing a pigskin apron, squatting on the stove with a large iron pot in her arms.

On the other side, another thinner woman spread a chopping board on a wooden table, took out a dehaired and washed cow's head from a large iron bucket squatting on the ground, and split the cow's head in half. He carried it and put it into the iron pot looked after by the fat woman.

  Afterwards, beef offal such as beef lungs, beef intestines, beef blood, etc. were added to the iron pot.

  The skinny man led the mule to the edge of the forest farm, fed it a few handfuls of fodder, and then tied the rein to a dead tree.

   Squatting beside him was a palm-sized censer, on which were inserted three slowly burning incense sticks.

  The man unloaded the cart from the donkey and mule, pulled the contents of the cart to the stove, and called two women and a young man to help: "Daping, Xiaocai, son, help me!"

  The two women and the young man gathered around,

   Remove the barrels of untreated beef, sheep and pig offal, intestinal oil, and lymphatic rotten meat on the cart.

  The thinner woman was busy cleaning the offal, and the fatter woman took over the work of cutting the meat, cutting the offal into slices or blocks, and throwing it into the corresponding pot.

  In the grove, white mist-like steam rose up, seeming to whiten the dark sky.

   Around here, the sounds of animals, bells, and people's footsteps gradually gathered.

  Fires lit up in the darkness.

   This fire is so dense,

   On the contrary, this pre-dawn night is extraordinarily vibrant.

   Some people set up a vegetable stall outside the forest;

Some people erected wooden poles tied with straw, built two stones, set up a small pot, poured water and sugar into the pot, and then threw a bunch of hawthorns into the pot, rolled them around, and pulled them out. The red syrup sticky On the surface of the hawthorn, sticks of candied haws were inserted on the straw poles.

   Those who sell livestock, those who sell chickens and ducklings, those who sell dogs and people...

   All kinds of things are gathered around this originally empty forest farm.

   They don't have to shout or make noise,

  The villagers from the four miles and eight townships gathered here as if they had agreed with them long ago.

far away,

  A **** horse with shiny fur was pulling the carriage, covered in the dew before dawn, driven by the young groom, the horseshoes came slowly towards the market here.

   "This is the Jade Emperor Collection.

  The largest market within hundreds of miles of Yunjin.

  From New Year's Eve every year until the Lantern Festival.

  I used to drive my brother—I even had a reunion dinner here. "In the carriage, Xuanzhao poked his head out, observing the surroundings, talking non-stop, he recognized the direction of the surroundings, and when he saw the empty field surrounded by densely grown trees, Quickly pointed to that side and said, "Let's go, let's eat in that forest farm today!

  His offal soup and lamb head meat are delicious!

  You can drink a bowl of beef offal soup in the morning, eat mutton head meat with some fried cockscomb oil at noon, and eat half a ox head in the evening, and this year will be over..."

Hearing his arrangement, Su Wu turned to look at the old Taoist expressionlessly, and said, "We have been walking from Zaozhuang to Yunjin for two days, and we are far enough away from Zaozhuang now, and the Taoist priest still doesn't want to disclose it. The slightest information about the changes in Maoshan's ancestral court?

  Now we are walking here and there all day long. I think if we go on walking like this, we will only get farther and farther away from Maoshan Zuting, right? "

   "I'll tell you later, I'll tell you later!" The old Taoist Xuanzhao waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile, "Today's New Year's Eve, even a prisoner in death row must have a good meal.

   What's more, we are not death row prisoners?

   Hurry up! go!

  Today, the old man wants to have a refreshing meal at this Jade Emperor Fair! "

  Su Wu sighed, did not say any more, and drove the carriage to the edge of the forest farm.

  He tied the horse beside a donkey and mule, and when he lowered his head, he saw an incense burner made of yellow mud under a tree.

  In the censer, the sticks of incense are burning with green smoke.

  Su Wu's nostrils fluttered, and in an instant he 'smelled' a very familiar smell from the burning incense sticks—the smell of 'Stove King God's Cult' and 'Fate-Guarding Fire'!

   Could it be that the owner of the food stall at the 'Jade Emperor's Fair' is also a member of the 'Stove King Sect'?

  Thoughts swirled in his mind, and Su Wu became a little curious about this beef offal soup stall.

   Nowadays, the genius is dim.

  The market has already gathered a lot of villagers from neighboring villages,

   This stall selling offal and sheep soup occupies the center of the whole Daji. There are many tables here, which is naturally an open-air dining hall.

   Logically speaking, there is no reason why other vendors who come to the market to sell goods should not come to seize such a good location.

  But the reality is that many vendors and merchants are clustered around the forest farm, laying out their respective stalls, but none of the vendors occupies even half of the stalls selling offal!

  Su Wu observed all the details here, followed behind the old Taoist, and approached the fat woman who was in charge of cooking the mutton soup.

  As he approached the three stoves, Su Wu's perception of the 'life-protecting fire' also became stronger.

  —In the three stoves, all are burning life-protecting fires!

   "Guest, what do you want to eat?

   Beef offal is a bowl of 18 pieces, and a bowl of 24 pieces is a large bowl. You can drink the soup as you like.

   Haggis..."

  The fat woman said to the old Taoist with a smile.

Xuanzhao, the old Taoist, put his hands behind his back and stretched his head to look at the pieces of offal meat covered by the steam in the iron pan. He took a deep breath and said, "Give me a bowl of beef offal with soup, more lungs and intestines, liver A little less, and two more pancakes!"

"okay!"

The fat woman bowed her head and followed Xuanzhao's old way's instructions, took out pieces of beef lungs and intestines, chopped them on the chopping board, put them in an iron spoon, rolled them three times in the big pot of beef offal, and took out the meat and soup together , put it into a large bowl, spread two thick cakes cut into triangles on the bowl, and handed it to the old man.

   "He will pay the money!"

  The old Daoist cheerfully picked up the bowl, and did not forget to show the fat woman Su Wu who was behind him.

Su Wu stepped forward and ordered a bowl of beef offal with soup similar to that of the old Taoist. While the fat woman was chopping the beef offal, he suddenly asked the woman, "Where did sister-in-law cook the stove?" , received the rice?"

  This question is asked without thinking, and most people must be confused when they hear it.

   But this remark is actually a slang term when people from the Kitchen King Sect meet.

  Su Wu said this incision immediately, just to see how the fat woman would react.

   To his disappointment,

  As soon as he said that, the fat woman stopped the knife and looked at him blankly: "What are you doing to harvest rice? My man and my son have always been in charge of lighting the stove.

  We don’t sell rice here either. "

   "It's nothing, I just said it casually, sister-in-law don't care." Su Wu shook his head, looked at the thin woman next to him guarding another pot, and was sure that both of them had nothing to do with the Stove King God Sect.

  At this time,

  He suddenly sensed that a stranger's eyes stayed on him for a while longer.

  Su Wu followed the induction and looked towards the place where the gaze came from,

  Seeing a few steps away, the owner of the stall that had been turning his back to his own burnt hooves turned sideways, and grinned at himself.

  He moved slightly in his heart, and nodded in response to the host's smile.

   After taking the big big bowl from the fat woman, Su Wu took a bowl of beef offal soup and walked to the table occupied by the old Taoist, put down the big big bowl, and broke the horn cake into small pieces and put it into the soup bowl.

The man by the stove put down the hoof, talked to the two women, handed the hoof to his son to burn off the fine hairs on it, then picked up a clay pot from behind the stove, and walked towards Su Wu .

   "Friends of the Kitchen God Sect, would you like a glass of the home-brewed wine?"

  The male owner of the beef and sheep offal stall walked to the side of the table occupied by Su Wu and Xuan Zhao, put the clay pot on the table, and said with a smile.

  Su Wu looked up when he heard the words, and saw the male master grinning.

   Before he could speak,

  Old Taoist Xuanzhao has already nodded repeatedly, and said: "Come, come! Come, take a bite!"

  The male host took out a cup, poured Xuan Zhao a glass of wine, and then looked at Su Wu.

  Su Wu shook his head, and said: "I took the liberty to interrupt just now, and I am really embarrassed to drink your homemade wine now."

   "Why are you embarrassed?

  If it wasn’t for the brothers from the Vesta Sect who saved my life and gave me a life-saving lamp, I wouldn’t have the family business I have now and start such a big business! "The host sat down on the side of the table, poured two more glasses of wine, pushed one to Su Wu, took one for himself, and said with a smile, "I just heard my brother ask a question, and I suddenly remembered the old Kitchen God Sect benefactor! "

   Sipping some throat-spitting wine, the male host explained the reasons in detail.

He set up a stall selling beef, sheep, and pig offal decades ago. At that time, he had not married his two wives today, and went to the market to sell sheep soup and offal. Because the market opened early, the stall owners often Before dawn, I hurried to the market,

  I often walk at night, so I can't avoid being tricky.

   The owner of the offal stall met a strange one once.

   Fortunately, at that time, a group of stove team rushed to the market where he was at that time, just saved his life, and left him a life-saving lamp.

   It is this light,

  Let him develop a big business later,

Married two wives and had a son—although the second wife was an incidental requirement when marrying the first wife, but he can afford two wives and children, which also shows that his business is indeed good.

  And the Zao team that the hero met before,

   It was Su Wu's master 'Li Yueshan', and his master, mother, younger brother and younger sister formed the Yinximai stove class!
