Chapter 17 Longing
"Sweet fat intestines?" Yi Xingchen said just now. Gongsun He was still joking about him. Now he heard him say this again, and he couldn't help but stare at him, "You can do sweet fat intestines? Don't brag there."
Of course, the apprentice who resurrected the corpse of Gongsun He did not know how to cook. Even meat is hard to eat several times a year, so how could he cook any meat? Yi Xingchen's eyes turned and said, "I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen pigs run away? I saw them stir-frying dishes at a restaurant a few days ago, and I saw that they had fried fat intestines. I remember the method and I'll make it for you to eat."
Kelai Restaurant is a restaurant not far from the place where they set up their stalls. Their kitchen is at the entrance of the alley next to the restaurant, with a window scattering smoke. You can see the kitchen cooking from the alley. Therefore, Gongsun He did not doubt his excuse. He looked up and down and said, "Oh, you really have this ability. Have you forgotten the fortune? I know that we are going to eat pigs today, so how can I cook first?"
Yi Xingchen laughed dryly and said, "That's not the case, it just happened. Master, let's go buy some ingredients first, and then go home by the way, I'll make it for you."
Gongsun He walked forward and looked at his apprentice: "By the way, how did you calculate that there was a pig in the pork high house? Let me listen."
Yi Xingchen smiled embarrassedly: "I'm also a blind cat and I'm hitting a dead mouse. I have nothing to say."
"I have to say nothing, but I'll tell you. Master. How do I calculate it?"
"Hehe, I used a number hexagram to call his last sentence. His last sentence was "I'm afraid I sold it earlier than me." There are nine characters in total, divided into two halves. The first four characters are the upper hexagram, which is Zhen hexagram, and the last five characters are the lower hexagram, which is Xun hexagram. Both belong to wood and belong to Bihe, which proves that there should be pork in their family. The number of the first nine characters plus the current hour, Chen, Hai, and twelve, divided by six, the remaining number is three, and the third is a change line. In this way, the change of hexagram is the Kan hexagram. The Kan hexagram represents pig, so I regard the hexagram of the Kan hexagram as a pig. The upper and lower two are yin lines, indicating that the pork is sold out, and the middle one is a yang line, indicating that there is still something left in the pig's belly. Isn't it a pig going into the water?"
Gongsun He was stunned, then laughed loudly, twisted his beard and nodded constantly and said, "I didn't expect you to infer from the appearance of the hexagram itself. It would be surprising to the master. If you hadn't calculated this fortune correctly, we wouldn't even be able to eat the pig in the water, hahaha."
This time Yi Xingchen was basically telling the truth, but one of the most critical plots was not mentioned, that is, the horizontal yang line in the middle of the change of hexagram Kan hexagram in the hexagram that appeared in his mind kept flashing. He knew that the hexagram represents a pig, and when he flashed in the middle, he would naturally think of the pig going into the water. Therefore, he blurted out, but he didn't expect it to be accurate and he was very happy.
I followed my master to a vegetable shop, knocked on the door, and bought some seasonings. The Ming Dynasty's seasonings were already quite complete, making fat intestines enough.
After buying the seasonings, Yi Xingchen felt at ease. He followed his master to the rice shop, knocked on the door, weighed five kilograms of white rice, and then they went to the wine shop to sell a pot of wine and put it in a gourd.
Yi Xingchen's memories told him that his master Gongsun He was a little addicted to alcohol. If he had some extra money, he would buy a pot of wine. He could drink half of the pot of wine and food at the moment. If he had meat today, he would have to drink happily.
When he got home, Yi Xingchen put down his things and immediately prepared to cook and stir-fry.
Gongsun He was not idle either, and helped him. When he saw Yi Xingchen's movements were quick and seemed to be familiar with it, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "When did you learn how to cook? I secretly cooked a lot of delicious food without hiding it."
Of course, Yi Xingchen knew that his master was joking. The two masters and apprentices were almost inseparable all day long, so Yi Xingchen had no chance to stir-fry dishes secretly. So Yi Xingchen didn't tell him, and just focused on cooking and cooking. His hands and feet were very quick, and he quickly fried the fat intestines. He did not wash the pot, but stir-fry the vegetables with the remaining oil in the pot, which made the stir-fried vegetables have a lard fragrance. This made Gongsun He salivate and swallowed his saliva.
Seeing that the food was about to be ready, Gongsun He had already set up a small table, two benches, and started serving the rice.
The meal was served and the two sat down.
Because I don’t have much spare money to buy wine, there is no wine glass at home. Gongsun He always uses the wine pot as a wine glass. He took a few sips by himself, and then handed the wine pot to Yi Xingchen and said, "Come on, you can drink a few sips, and I made a lot of money today. Master is very happy, take a few sips of the bar."
After Yi Xingchen took the wine pot, Gongsun He picked up a piece of fat intestine with his chopsticks, looked left and right first, then put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and then stuffed it into his mouth. He closed his eyes and chewed it slowly with his heart, savoring the aroma of meat. It was really comfortable all over his body. The pain of the pain in the pain that had been beaten before had long disappeared, and only the endless aftertaste of pork wandered around in his body, floating in the air.
Yi Xingchen took a sip of wine and felt that the taste was a bit light. Although he rarely drank in society nowadays and he was just a high school student, his father would let him drink a glass during festivals. In comparison, the wine in ancient times was much lighter.
Yi Xingchen only took a small sip and returned the wine pot to his master, then grabbed a piece of fat intestine and stuffed it into his mouth to chew it. He was quite satisfied with his cooking skills, but the ancient seasonings were not as modern as they were, so he still felt that the taste was a bit lacking, but there was no way.
After drinking, Gongsun He started talking too much. He drank and ate while chatting. He looked at Yi Xingchen and said, "You used to be stupid in fortune-telling, but you still didn't know how to explain it after you started a divination, let alone explain it accurately. Unexpectedly, this is a serious illness. You seem to have changed someone, and your analysis is very accurate. Master is very satisfied. If this continues, Master can slowly let you take over the divination stall, and I can sit and enjoy my old age. Every day, it will be like today. It won't take long to buy a decent new house, buy some new furniture, and ask you for a wife. You are not young, and you should consider starting a family and starting a career. Master is still waiting to hold your grandson, hahaha."
When Yi Xingchen heard his master talk about this, he felt a little shy. After all, before time traveling, he was just a half-year-old child of seventeen or eighteen years old, and the dead apprentice who inherited his body was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Although many people had married and had children in ancient times, in modern society, they were just half-year-old children, so how could they talk about marriage? He quickly buried his head and dared not to mention it, and had a meal on his own.
Gongsun He continued: "The little girl in Haichuan Pharmaceutical Store is still very good and has a very beautiful appearance. If you can marry such a wife, you will be lucky. However, he is the niece of the shopkeeper Huang of the pharmacy shop. How could he fall in love with these poor fortune tellers? I just talked casually after drinking. But, I can't say it. If you can understand the divination like today in the future and make so much money every day, then maybe they will fall in love with it. As long as you have money, you won't have to worry about not having a wife."
Yi Xingchen couldn't help but smile bitterly. With just one encounter, the master actually wanted to ask Tang Xiaoqi to be his wife. Where did he follow this?
Gongsun He continued: "You died of illness the day before yesterday. Master was really sad and sad. He thought that our master and apprentice would be separated from yin and yang in this life. Unexpectedly, you suddenly came to life today. You didn't know that Master was indeed unexpected. Of course, I told others that I calculated it, but I really didn't. Our master and apprentice don't need to tell lies. Master is really happy that you can come back alive. For this reason, Master will stop drunk today. Come on, you can take another sip and celebrate."
Gongsun He took a few big gulps and handed the wine pot to Yi Xingchen. Yi Xingchen took it and took a sip, then returned it to the master, and then continued to have a meal.
"As the saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. It's not wrong at all. Look, you have been dead for two days and you have survived again. We have made so much money at once. Even if we spend this money now, it's enough to spend ten days and half a month. How great is this not the good fortune."
