Chapter 32 Dawn(1/3)

"Everyone is the only one who listens to the emperor."

"Boss Wang" put his hands behind his back and closed his eyes and said.

If the winner is the king, the loser is the enemy. What other ways do the loser do besides obeying it?

Liu Ruiying has lost many times and won a lot of times. But this time he did not have the joy of winning.

He chose to ignore the words of "Boss Wang" and turned to Big Old Jiang.

"Take me to Baoyi Gambling House."

Liu Ruiying said.

The sword in his hand shook slightly for a moment.

At that moment, he seemed to press his sword against Da Lao Jiang's throat and forced him to respond. But after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need.

Big Lao Jiang's lips squirmed a few times, then nodded and agreed.

Liu Ruiying waved at the two brothers "Boss Wang" and then waved to Tang Zhongsong and three and a half wine. Xiao Jin chatted.

I promised to bet big money and I can't keep my word.

After Liu Ruiying and others left with Da Lao Jiang, the two brothers "Boss Wang" were still standing there.

He didn't pay attention to these two people anymore, and the two brothers knew that Liu Ruiying would come back sooner or later. After all, Zhiji from the Monan barbarians was still sleeping in the "Huixian Tower".

Liu Ruiying slowed down and stood beside the old man from the noodle stall, his eyes full of fearful scrutiny.

It is precisely because of this that he could not see the smile on his face when Big Old Jiang turned around.

"The knife is not mine."

The old man said.

"I know who the knife belongs to."

Liu Ruiying said.

"Since you know, what else do you want to ask?"

The old man asked back.

It was almost dawn and he was ready to close the stall.

Business is not good tonight.

It was not because of Liu Ruiying and others, but because of a strong wind.

They just took advantage of this strong wind to do what they should do.

The strong wind blew the diners into pieces, and the old man sold less than twenty bowls of beef noodle soup in total.

"Your noodles, the beef soup is very delicious."

Liu Ruiying changed her tone and said.

Although he could see that this old man was definitely not living by this noodle stall, it is really rare for such a conscientious vendor to be now.

Beef is very expensive.

It's more expensive than mutton, chicken and duck.

This question once made Liu Ruiying think about it for a long time.

Among livestock and poultry, cattle are the largest and one cow has the most meat, but the largest price is the highest.

But later he learned that the beef was steamy and that only less than seven taels were left for a pound of beef when it was released from the pot, so he slightly answered his confusion.

"If you put more beef, it will naturally have a strong taste."

The old man said.

Since Liu Ruiying wanted to talk, he said something casually.

Moreover, it is not a big deal to have thick and light soup. The old man does not have his own secret recipe like other vendors, which is not worth telling outsiders. His secret recipe is to add more beef, and all freshly slaughtered beef.

After the old man finished speaking, he lifted up the cover on the pull-up truck and pointed at an iron bucket for Liu Ruiying to see.

This iron bucket is very deep, and the inside and outside are rusted so that it is not obvious.

The reflection that should have been white is now dark red, like blood that is about to solidify. There are also many mottled spots mixed in it, like pairs of eyes.

When Liu Ruiying looked at it, these "eyes" seemed to be staring at Liu Ruiying without blinking their eyes.

There are things on the bottom of the bucket, like rocks, and you can clearly see some texture.

But Liu Ruiying knew that these things would never be rocks.

Because the old man is strange, he is a normal person and has no madness. So he will not put a bucket of stones on the pull-up truck he set up, and he will still let Liu Ruiying watch it at this moment.

"What's this?"

After thinking for a long time, Liu Ruiying still couldn't see it, so she had to ask in confusion.

"Beef. Beef that makes soup."

The old man said.

Liu Ruiying was speechless.

He has seen beef no matter whether it is raw or cooked.

Raw beef is bright red in color, like a ball of fire. Cooked beef cooked and braised in different colors, but it also exudes a strong meaty aroma.

The things in this iron bucket are in the wrong color and taste are not right.

The old man said it was beef, but Liu Ruiying felt that he was enjoying himself.

"The beef that has been made of soup has no taste. I threw it away."

The old man said.

Liu Ruiying reached out to weigh the iron bucket, which weighed at least ten pounds.

Now he knew why the beef soup made by the old man had such a strong taste, because after boiling for a certain period of time, he took out all the beef and threw it away as waste.

In this way, fresh beef is always added, and the soup base can always maintain enough flavor.

“The cost is not small.”

Liu Ruiying sighed.

"For fun, find something to do."

The old man said.

Then the two fell into silence.

Seeing that Liu Ruiying had no intention of leaving, the old man picked up the cigarette pole again and wanted to smoke another pot.

Liu Ruiying suddenly remembered something, and her face became a little unnatural.

"I have been following me for almost twenty years. The one in front of it was broken in a time of uneasy."

The old man said.

He seemed to know what Liu Ruiying was thinking in his heart.

This sentence indirectly proves his thoughts.

"Things that have been used for a long time are just emotional and easy to use!"

Liu Ruiying said.

"The same is true for those who have followed for a long time."

The old man said.

Liu Ruiying suddenly laughed.

The old man laughed too.

The two of them were tacit about each other.

"Yuan Jie is okay?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

“It’s in Zhongdu.”

The old man said.

He was the old housekeeper in General Yuan’s mansion back then.

In his words, in the "unpeaceful era", he was also a general who struggled through the sea of ​​blood.

Later, an arrow was shot in his chest, which hurt his lungs and could not withstand the immediate trouble. After that, he became accustomed to smoking.

A shot of an arrow hurts the lungs, and smoking also hurts the lungs.

He should find someone to look at his horoscope in his life.

In addition to his father, Yuan Jie's most awe-inspiring housekeeper is this old housekeeper.
