445. Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots! (10)
Suddenly there was a sound, small and light.
Xixisuosuo.
At the corner of the alley and behind the houses, several rows of black shadows crawled out one after another. Others were short, except for the long shadow that crawled out from an inn at the end of the street, which was estimated to be more than two feet long.
If you look seriously, you will see that wherever there is a black shadow, it is all made up of spiders, toads, snakes and ants arranged together.
As if under orders, these living creatures line up neatly, choosing to walk through inconspicuous gaps, concealed and careful. Unless someone checks carefully, it will be difficult to detect.[
Finally, they all gathered in a row in front of an inn on the north side of the street and climbed up slowly along the wooden eaves and rafters. After a while, a long line of people got into the fifth room from the left on the third floor.
In the guest room.
The three-headed krait raised its head happily and took one bite at the group of poisonous scorpions and poisonous spiders that were automatically "paying tribute". It swallowed it happily! Because it has three heads and three mouths, it can eat dozens of living creatures in a short time.
Swallow it all!
This golden krait was satisfied with its meal and thought happily: Today's food is really good! The quality is very high!
At Mao hour, the cock crows.
Still in East Fourth Square, at the end of the street - "Quanfu Inn"
"Senior brother, it's not good!"
A slovenly man with yellow face, sparse hair, black teeth and a flat nose was shaking the cloth bag in his hand. It was empty. No matter how hard he shook, not even a hair could be shaken out.
"What's going on? It's so early in the morning and it's so noisy."
Another man, a bald man with a hunchback and one blind eye, was in a daze on the bed and refused to get up. He was so worried that he rolled over and got out of bed. The remaining one eye was full of displeasure.
"Master, those poisonous ancestors that Master asked us to bring out are all gone!"
The sloppy man wants to cry but has no tears.
"What!"
The hunchbacked man yelled, immediately woke up, and quickly rummaged through all the small compartments of the leather bag he was carrying.
Nothing.
"How...how could..."
These two people were Che Chou and his second disciple Che Chou, the master of Shiyin Valley in Beichuan.
Shiyin Valley is somewhat famous in Beichuan, but it just has a bad reputation.
The owner of Shiyin Gugu must be over sixty years old and looks very old. He likes to use living people to feed poisons and test new poisons. The old guy's methods are sinister and cruel, and he regards the things he raises as extremely valuable.
If anyone were to break one alive, he would probably be dead.[
The relationship between Beichuan and Dongling was tense. The master of Shiyin Valley was entrusted by the Beichuan Imperial Master and ordered his two apprentices to take dozens of poisonous insects that he had raised for many years and sneak into the capital of Dongling quietly, waiting for opportunities to murder important members of the court.
Taking advantage of the turmoil in Dongling, Beichuan could take advantage of the situation.
Naturally, Shi Yingu was not the only one sent by Beichuan, but Che Biren was extremely confident in the poisonous insects he had raised, and wanted to win face in front of the national master.
Then he ordered Che, Qiu, and Chehen to bring out dozens of poisonous insects, including four or five of his most precious "Poison Ancestors". Che Biren gave the two apprentices a death order, and they must kill Dongling.
The officials in the capital should tidy up, and if there is a chance, it would be best to burp the old emperor too.
Regardless of whether Che Biren is a frog in the well, his vision is too narrow and he does not know how high the sky is.
Nowadays, "there are no insects before the troops are launched." Yesterday they were fine, but today they are all missing!
The two brothers Cheqiu Chehen were frightened to the point of peeing. They could even foresee that they would be mercilessly thrown into the poisonous valley by their master, and their bodies would be covered with poisonous insects!
The two brothers, Che Qiu and Che Hen, spent several days searching Dongsi Fang back and forth. They were exhausted and couldn't find even a single spider leg!
Without poisonous insects, why should we kill those high officials?
Car hatred and car hatred are all combined. Going back will mean death. Let’s escape first!
The poor two people were hunted by Che Biren for many years, and they didn't know until their death that it was the "ancestor in the poisonous ancestor" that caused them such misery.
This is something to talk about later. Xiang Xue didn't know what the "pet three-headed snake" was doing, so he took green salt to wash it off early in the morning, and then went to the inner city.
I haven’t been to Beijing for six years, and there seems to be no big changes inside and out.
"Shunji Tofu Nao" in Jiuli Hutong, Fuchang, is still popular;
"Crepe Ping Restaurant" on Shunmin Street is still prosperous, but its signature dish - pork elbows with spicy sauce, has increased from eighty cents to one or two silver.
After eating a bowl of tofu puffs, I hesitated whether to buy clothes first or go to the "Crepe Ping Restaurant" and order a dish of spicy pork ribs.
Xiang Xue has always hated trouble, so how could he not go overboard and come back later?
Decide to satisfy your appetite first.
The restaurant was noisy and the five or six waiters were as busy as spinning tops. Xiang Xue waited for quite a while before finding an empty table.
Order a cup of the signature Jin Junmei and add a spicy sauce-flavored pork elbow.
Xiang Xue's longing for the cheap man sitting on the dragon chair in the imperial city was more than enough for an elbow.
Sip tea and wait for the food to be served.[
Looking at the busy traffic in the market, she vaguely recalled that when she was still young, someone took her to "Creping" to eat this pork elbow.
Even though we are not in the changing world now, things have changed and people have changed.
"Girl, here comes your pork elbow with spicy sauce!"
I was a little excited when I picked up the bamboo chopsticks.
In my memory, this elbow is soft but not greasy, soft but not rotten, especially the strong flavor of old sauce, which makes people want to swallow it with their tongues.
He picked up a pair of chopsticks and frowned slightly.
After chewing it for a while, I felt a little pity.
The meat is good and the heat is sufficient, but the sauce is a new one, and it doesn't have the lingering aftertaste of an old sauce mixed with pollen.
It is enough to fool ordinary diners, but it is difficult to fool a gourmet like Xiang Xue who is accustomed to delicacies from all over the world.
Perhaps the store owner treats the dish differently in order to save money. If the customer is rich, he will serve the pork elbow with the old sauce, and if the customer is ordinary, he will serve it with the new sauce.
It's rare to find something worthy of nostalgia, but no matter who you think it is, it has changed.
