Smoked sparrows, charcoal-roasted wild boar, a midnight snack made of sorghum pancakes, and even a jar of drunken monkeys.
When the little boy brought these food and drinks, Li Muye couldn't help but sigh: This is just a meal for the world. From this, it is further determined that this child has a history of learning from a teacher.
For example, this sparrow is a folk dish, not elegant, but it is an extremely rare delicacy that can be eaten everywhere. As the saying goes, one or two sparrows, four or two ginseng, one or two birds is better than half a catty of beasts. There are many ways to prepare sparrows. Some rough ones are cooked directly in the fire, while some of the most sophisticated people like to smoke them.
The sparrow must be a black-capped sparrow caught with red sorghum as bait. This kind of sparrow mainly lives in mountains. It eats grass seeds, drinks from mountain springs, and only eats sorghum among grains. The natural flavors are extraordinary. Sorghum has certain medicinal effects, which can strengthen the stomach, strengthen the spleen, eliminate accumulation, warm the body, astringent the stomach and intestines, and prevent cholera. Sky-piercing sorghum only grows in mountains with an altitude of 600 meters. It is exposed to wind and has no roots to drink water, so the yield per mu is very small. But it is the favorite thing of the black-capped sparrow.
In the past, there was a person in the old world who was good at this. Collect the sky-red sorghum that turns red in September as bait, and pull a net to catch sparrows, and you can catch thousands of sparrows at one time. After removing the bird's stomach, sorghum stalks are used to light the fire, and herbs are added to smoke it. The finished smoked sparrow can last for three summers without deterioration. The reason why the sparrow's stomach was taken away was for the undigested sorghum in the stomach. Binque eats the grass seeds of Baicao, and produces Baicao paste in its stomach. The sorghum absorbs a large amount of Baicao essence before it is digested. It grinds the substance into flour and mixes it with black bean flour to make sorghum pancakes. If you take it for a long time, you will be free from all kinds of diseases.
Zhang Fenglai knows how to make these two rare things, so he must have a legacy. As far as Li Muye knew, people in this street used to be called Huainan Holdbacks. The Jianghu people of this sect regard Huainan King Liu An as their ancestor. They spend their whole lives hunting for dragons and treasures. They do not seek wealth and honor, but only seek transcendence.
Liu An was a great thinker and writer in the Western Han Dynasty, and he was also the most famous alchemist in history. He was also the first practitioner in the world to attempt a hot air balloon launch and the founder of Chinese Tofu. He once invited thousands of alchemists to compile "Hong Lie", also known as "Huainan Zi". It is considered by the academic community to be an epoch-making academic masterpiece in the history of Chinese thought. It contains 21 chapters inside and 33 chapters outside. The inner chapters discuss Tao and the outer chapters contain miscellaneous explanations.
It has been passed down to this day, but only twenty-one chapters are officially recognized as being preserved. Mainly based on Taoist thought, combined with Confucianism, Legalism, Yin and Yang and other schools, Huainanzi is generally classified as a miscellaneous school. In fact, this book is guided by Taoist thought, absorbs the theories of hundreds of schools of thought, and integrates them. It can be called the representative work of Huang Lao's theoretical system from the Warring States Period to the early Han Dynasty. When elucidating philosophy, we also discussed strange objects, strange creatures, ghosts and spirits, and preserved some mythological materials, such as "Nuwa patched up the sky", "Houyi shot the sun", "Gonggong's anger touched Mount Buzhou", "Chang'e flew to the moon", Ancient myths such as "Dayu controlled the floods" are mainly spread through this book.
In the academic world, this book is regarded as a high-level art in academic temples, but some people in the world regard this book's miscellaneous chapters as a complete collection of alchemy theory. It even gave rise to a Jianghu portal called Huainan Gate. People who come from this sect are also called Huainan Zinbaoke.
Li Muye pointed out all the strange origins of Zhang Fenglai like a treasure trove. The child was so convinced that he finally told the truth.
As Li Muye expected, he indeed had an inheritance, and the person who taught him thaumaturgy was Yang Xiaofeng's father, his grandfather. Li Muye asked his grandfather's name. He said his name was Yang Qiansui, and the locals called him Madman Yang. They specialize in killing pigs and sheep, as well as large livestock such as donkeys, horses, cattle and mules.
Li Muye was secretly surprised when he heard Yang Qiansui's name. I remember Xu Yangchen once said that there were six heavenly kings on the martial arts list. One of them, Yang Qiansui, was called by Taoist Xu. Forty years ago, he was at the top of the literary list, and forty years later he was the king of the martial arts list. It can be said that he was a hero in both civil and military fields. And this person came from Huainan Gate.
Unexpectedly, this famous figure on the civil and military list is actually Zhang Jinliang's father-in-law.
There is a four-story building in the county town. It was built in the early 1980s. It has really stood out for several years, so it is also called a four-story building. It even became a bus stop back then. The owner of this small building is Yang Qiansui. At that time, Yang Qiansui was known as the richest man in the county. He was generous and generous, and his business footprints were all over China. He had friends all over the country, up and down the Yellow River.
In the early 1990s, for some unknown reason, the family suddenly fell into decline. In the end, the creditors were so exhausted that even the four-story building was lost to them. Yang Qiansui didn't care. The business couldn't continue, so he stayed in the city to make a living by killing pigs and sheep. Zhang Fenglai's mother, Yang Xiaofeng, was Yang Qiansui's only daughter. When she was a child, she lived a good life with good food and clothing. But when she grew up, her family suddenly fell into decline. Her mother ran away with a honey hunter from the south, so Yang Qiansui decided to marry her off. Gave it to Zhang Jinliang.
Insert a sentence, [\Mi\Mi\Read\Read\A\P\P\w\w\w\.\m\i\m\i\r\e\a\d\.\c\o\m]It’s really good, it’s worth installing, and it’s supported by both Android and Apple phones!
The year Zhang Fenglai was born and Yang Xiaofeng was pregnant, it was difficult for Zhang Jinliang to go home in the army. Yang Qiansui often came to visit. Every time he came, he would always come empty-handed. He would often make some soup for his daughter, such as mountain roots, fruits, animal hearts and livers. Nutritional supplements. The life of the old Zhang family must have been tight back then, and they couldn't eat more than a few mouthfuls of meaty food throughout the year, so the things Yang Qiansui brought were quite popular with Yang Xiaofeng.
Later, Zhang Fenglai was born, who did not cry even after falling to the ground. He could roll on the bed three days after he was born, crawl around when he was full moon, and walk on the wall when he was three months old. Yang Xiaofeng liked to play mahjong and dance, and thought Zhang Fenglai was a burden, so after the child got his first tooth, Yang Xiaofeng often sent him to his father's house in the county town to stay. This ability is the foundation that Yang Qiansui has laid since childhood.
Yang Qiansui is quite an old-fashioned person. He comes from a rough world, but he is not a vulgar person. Although he is not rich in economics, he is also a person who respects sages and possesses the five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust. Naturally, some of his outlook on life and living habits had a profound impact on Zhang Fenglai.
Li Muye had heard about Yang Qiansui for a long time and knew that this person had a high status in the world, even above the likes of Huo Ze. But I never thought that such a heroic figure was just a pig-slaughterer and dog-killer hiding in a small county town. Could this be the demeanor of a true outsider
This kid couldn't drink more than a few glasses of wine. After all, he was still at a young age when his natural instincts flourished. He couldn't pretend to be in front of an old man like Li Muye. After three glasses of wine, he was told in just a few words what he knew about Yang Qiansui. all information.
This boy has a stoic heart, acts decisively and ruthlessly, and is more talented than Zhang Jinliang. He can be called a born assassin. Li Muye had long been interested in talents. Instead of letting him surrender and suffer ten years in prison, it would be better to take him to Moscow for training.
A person's life lasts only a hundred years, and princes, generals, ministers, traffickers and pawns are nothing more than the things that people talk about after dinner. Therefore, length is secondary, and living is not for others to see. The key is how you feel. Whether your life is meaningful and interesting depends on whether you live the way you want to live. The poet said that my talents must be useful, which sums up the true meaning of a happy life in one sentence. Everyone has different talents, and what matters is whether you can find a path in life that suits you. Li Muye asked him: "Do you like guns?"
The boy was silent for a long time, his eyes shining with eagerness, he nodded first, and then sighed.
"What I mean is to ask you what you think first, and then meet with Mr. Yang."
"As long as my grandpa agrees, I will go with you!" Zhang Fenglai said immediately: "Tomorrow I will take you to the county seat to meet grandpa."
The small county town is geographically remote, and the central street is less than three miles long. Except for the fifteen-story, majestic and majestic county government building, there are no other particularly outstanding buildings. The place where Yang Qiansui lives is close to a dry depression. There are dozens of short houses with single doors and courtyards. There is a ginkgo tree in the courtyard.
Li Muye and Xiaofen followed Zhang Fenglai and walked outside the yard. I saw bloody stains on the adobe wall and a faint fishy smell. The courtyard door was open. Looking inside, I saw a Mercedes-Benz S600 parked under the ginkgo tree, which was somewhat incongruous with the dilapidation and poverty of the entire area.
"Are we having guests?"
Zhang Fenglai was holding a jar of old royal jelly, glanced at the car as usual, and said: "Nothing, this is the car of Baiyuntang in Changqingshan. The man came to eat and drink in the name of playing chess with his grandfather." ." With that said, he turned around and walked to the corner with the jar, opened the entrance to a cellar, walked down a short distance and came up empty-handed, explaining: "You can't let that person see it, otherwise there will be no more left."
"Your grandpa is a master of the world, so it's not surprising that he has some special friends."
"What kind of master is he? He is just a beggar leader." Zhang Fenglai said childishly: "My grandpa said this. He said that the world was in chaos and disordered. The beggars in the past wore shabby clothes and were skinny and skinny. , Only those who are dirty can get a bite to eat. Today’s beggars have completely changed. What they pay attention to is playing, playing and singing. They need to have good looks and classy clothes. What they want is big money and windfall. In terms of real ability, Not to mention that the lotus flower is pierced through the crotch, the bricks are hammered into the chest, and I can't even sing a lotus flower falling."
Xiaofen was a little confused after hearing this, and looked at Li Muye with a questioning look.
"The Lotus Iron Penetrating Crotch refers to the golden bell that can be locked into the stomach after being trained to a certain level, and can withstand the blow of the Lotus Iron. This Lotus Iron is a strange weapon in the past, made to look like a lotus bone. , the handle below is like the stem of a lotus, also made of iron." Li Muye explained: "Beat the bricks on the chest with the bricks soaked in white vinegar and then returned to the furnace, and then hold them against one's own chest. The smashing was violent. In fact, the bricks are It is soft and tender, and it hurts the skin but not the flesh. Even the unscrupulous can make it fake with white flour."
"As for Lotus Falling, it is a drama sung by beggars when they are begging. The content is mainly about persuading the world, promoting good and punishing evil, karma, asking for alms, and auspicious words. Most of them are performed by pretending to be blind, two people in a group, One singing group, each holding an evergreen branch in each hand, decorated with many red paper flowers in the shape of a lotus. Strings of money are strung between the branches for shaking, making a "swish, swish" sound to help beat the rhythm. Hence the name Lotus Luo, also known as Luo Lilian or Money Tree.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud and high-pitched cry from inside the house, and then someone sang like a chime through the cracked gold stone: "My life experience is as muddy as a gull on the water, and I carry a bamboo stick across Nanzhou. In the evening, the rice bag is full of the waning moon, and the song board is in the wind. Singing Xiaoqiu. Two feet kick up the earthly world, and one shoulder carries all the sorrows of the past and present. Now if you don't eat and you come to eat, why should the yellow dog bark endlessly? "
"This poem is really beautiful!" Xiaofen couldn't help but praise it.
Li Muye said with a solemn expression: "It seems that we are going to meet an expert today..." (End of Chapter)
