Chapter 351 Little Gambler 8
Even Gu Qinghan, who has a cold face and doesn't talk much, can wake up and chase a girl?
Am I really so bad that I can't even chase a girl?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.
Forget it, let’s focus on studying for now.
Thinking of this, Lu Zishi walked down the mountain faster. These days, he helped his family collect some firewood.
"What's wrong?" Li Junyong noticed that Lu Zishi was a little depressed and asked kindly.
Lu Zishi pursed his lips and said, "Nothing, I just feel a little reluctant to leave my family because I will be away for a while."
"That's true. We all have to go through it eventually. Don't think too much about it." Luo Xiqing comforted.
"Let's go, there are a few bundles of firewood waiting for us on the mountain." Li Junyong patted Lu Zishi on the shoulder and walked in front, feeling a little uncomfortable.
……
Xu Yuan stopped and walked along the way, avoiding the thatch that was cutting people on the roadside, and cut the ferns on the roadside and piled them on the roadside.
Finally, we arrived at a quiet forest. The environment was peaceful, with insects chirping and birds singing, and water flowing under the cliff. Xu Yuan specially made a small pool to store water. The water left on the cliff was a little turbid, probably because of the heavy rain yesterday.
Xuyuan stopped by the pool.
I looked at the cover that was supposed to be on the top of the pool. It had fallen to the ground and broken into several pieces. A thick branch had hit the pool. It had broken off from a branch of a big tree and fell directly. There were some debris on the ground.
The pool was covered with rotten leaves and branches, and there was a fallen bird's nest, making the whole pool very turbid. The pool was not very deep, only as deep as an arm's length. The water that rippled out formed a small pool of water, neither deep nor shallow.
Xu Yuan rolled up his sleeves and tried to move the branch that hit the pool away first. Unexpectedly, he was almost hit and quickly grabbed the long object that suddenly jumped out.
"How dare you sneak attack your aunt? Your good days are over."
The long strip on the hand was still twisting and struggling, and the stripes on its body were exactly the same as those on the tree trunk. It was a purple sand snake.
Xu Yuan endured the goose bumps that suddenly appeared on his arms, felt a chill in his heart, picked up the dagger and stabbed it straight into his vital point, then threw it aside.
Rolling up his sleeves, he scooped up all the rotten leaves and branches floating on the pond and threw them aside. The pond was much cleaner now. Apart from these, there was nothing unusual. He bent down to pick up the fallen cover and covered it. He picked up the unexpected food on the spot, removed the snake's head and internal organs, leaving the gallbladder, and dug a pit to bury the tongue and internal organs.
He pulled out the plug of the pool, used the flowing water to clean up the blood on his hands and the rations, threw them into the backpack, and then dragged the fallen branch down the mountain.
……
Lin'an County
It’s lunch time at Fu Man Lou.
Hu Zhanggui is now sitting in the shop with Lao Gao, tasting the new delicacy - fish balls.
"Oh my god, it's absolutely delicious. I'm so lucky to be able to taste this chewy delicacy in my lifetime."
"Old Hu, where did you get this from?"
Lao Gao praised it while chewing the fish ball in his mouth, his eyes full of ecstasy.
"Hahahaha..." Hu Zhanggui couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. Fortunately, he had foresight and sent the shop assistants to wait at the city gate every day in turn, and report to the store immediately if there was any movement.
As a result, he waited for a large group of villagers who were carrying goods into the city to trade.
After some inquiries, with the introduction of Gu Qinghan, they finally learned about a new kind of delicacy. Hu Zhanggui remembered the young man who led the group. He was the handsome guy who was next to the girl who made a wish. He was a perfect match for Miss Xu.
When I met her again, she was still as charming as ever.
"Let me tell you, the girl you introduced to me last time is a real talent. She can provide us with fresh materials and help us make Fu Man Lou flourish."
"Oh, so the fish balls were also made by that girl?" Lao Gao asked curiously.
"No, no, I'm from the same village as Miss Xu and I'm familiar with her." Hu Zhanggui waved his hand.
"In a village? What kind of village is this Hsinchu Village? It's so magical. What kind of brains do they have? How can they discover all kinds of delicious food?"
Hsinchu Village?
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. Two middle-aged men were sitting at another table next to them. They had big swords hanging from their waists, and they were sitting with their legs crossed, one foot on the floor, shaking madly.
Although the two men were sitting some distance away from them and spoke very carefully during their discussion, they could not defend themselves against the profound inner strength, and no matter how quietly they spoke, everything they said was heard.
He was chewing a fish ball in his mouth, with a gleam in his eyes and a look of interest.
"Boss, here!" Ah Fu stood up from the counter and shouted to Boss Hu.
"Here it comes, here it comes!" Shopkeeper Hu put the wine glass in his hand on the table and picked up another fish ball and threw it into his mouth.
He said vaguely, "Lao Gao, I have something to do now, you are welcome to do whatever you want."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work." Lao Gao waved his hand, not caring at all about his old friend leaving midway.
Delicious food should not be missed. Without Hu Zhanggui's "sharing", Lao Gao was so happy to eat the food that he asked the waiter to bring some oil paper, wrapped some food, and took it back for his wife to try.
"Boss, your new stuff is really good. Give me another serving of these fish balls. I want to take them back home for my mother to try."
"No problem." Hu Zhanggui laughed happily when he heard the guest say that.
So this fish ball is not exclusive to Fu Man Lou, but Fu Man Lou has accumulated old customers who are still willing to buy from Fu Man Lou because the price is fair. With Fu Man Lou as a benchmark, other restaurants dare not raise prices randomly, although this practice has offended many competitors, who often come to Fu Man Lou to cause minor accidents in an attempt to discredit Fu Man Lou.
But it is hard to say that Fu Man Lou has become so big without any means. Some time ago, a customer was making trouble in the store. He said that he found hair in the food and insisted that the kitchen must be unclean. How can a store with such poor hygiene conditions dare to continue operating?
As soon as Hu Zhanggui heard it, he knew what was going on. Having been a shopkeeper for so many years, he had seen all kinds of storms and watched the commotion with great interest.
When the other party asked you to give me one hundred taels of silver as compensation, the matter would be settled.
Hu Zhanggui: I understand. He’s trying to extort money.
When someone recognized the young man causing the trouble, they quickly said, "Hey, isn't this the errand boy for that little gambling bastard? What happened? Did you lose money again?"
