Chapter 18 It’s snowing(3/3)
"The shopkeepers are very polite." Ning He returned the favor and motioned for everyone to sit wherever they pleased.
"Thank you sir!"
"Thank you sir, thank you hero!"
"Finally I have a place to stay..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, shook the snowflakes off their bodies at the door, and began to set up racks to bake their damp clothes.
Some people also went to the car outside the door and took down some firewood picked up on the road.
Create a small fire and bake the dry biscuits you brought with you. This will be everyone's meal tonight.
There are also people tidying up the wooden beds and haystacks in the house.
Someone even took a kettle, ran to the corner of the house, and opened up the haystacks. There was a small earthen stove here, which could warm some boiling water and make some herbal tea to ward off the cold.
At first glance, it turns out that he is an old businessman who often travels this route. He is very familiar with this inn and almost thinks of it as his home.
If the black bear spirit's figure hadn't been so scary, he might have entered this house long ago.
But as everyone was tidying up the shop and warming up the water...
As the black bear spirit used a wooden stick to pull the chicken out of the fire, and then broke open the hard clods of soil.
A scent of fragrance wafted out, attracting everyone's attention.
Take a look at the steaming and tender chicken inside.
The young merchant kept swallowing his saliva and didn't want to bake any more biscuits.
When the leader, Li Xingshang, saw this scene, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then smiled and praised the black bear spirit: "What a skill, hero!"
"You're wrong." The black bear spirit didn't dare to take credit, and he laughed along with their names and said: "My master's skills were all taught by my master! If you want to praise me, I must praise my master!"
"Sir?" Li Xingshang couldn't help but look at Ning He. He looked like a teacher. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't look like a chef.
But no matter what, now I see this hero smiling and looking easy to talk to.
That gentleman doesn’t look like a bad person.
So they looked at each other again, and then looked at the frame truck outside.
There was a wild goat in their car, and I planned to wait until the strange two people left before eating it. Otherwise, if I didn't tell them apart after they were roasted, I'm afraid the big man would be hard to mess with.
But now this hero is a good person and his skills are even better.
Finally, Li Xingshang said: "My lord, a few of us met an wild goat yesterday, and it took a lot of effort to catch it. Why don't we try it together today?"
"Yes!" Several merchants nearby also responded. They were already greedy after smelling the fragrance.
"Oh? There are also goats? Okay, today my old bear Lulu's craftsmanship!" The black bear spirit seems to be surprised when he speaks, but in fact he has known it for a long time, and now he opens this chicken because he is greedy for them, so naturally it should be.
p>
So, unbeknownst to them, Li Xingshang and others called the two of them to go outside and work together to carry the goat in.
This goat has been cleaned and treated, which saves trouble, but two legs are missing.
After Li Xingshang brought it in, he also pointed at the goat and said, "I roasted two lamb legs on the way and tasted them. The goat meat is really strong."
"This good sheep really requires good craftsmanship." Black Bear Spirit couldn't help but start processing the other two lamb legs.
When Li Xingshang saw Black Bear Spirit busy, he couldn't help but look at Ning He and thanked him again: "Sir, I have benefited from your craftsmanship today."
"I am the one who got lucky from several shopkeepers and Lao Xiong Fu." Ning He shook his head, "I just got lucky from a mouthful."
Ning He said and looked at the small stove tea next to him. The water was almost boiling.
Li Xingshang also heard the sound of "huhu", and then asked someone to get tea, and he was a little curious: "Sir, you are on your way to the winter solstice. Are you going back to the city to celebrate the New Year?"
A gentleman with an extraordinary temperament, coupled with a strong hero, he looks like a member of a famous family in the city.
Only Li Xingshang asked this question.
As he said this, he also wanted to make some friends and take advantage of others' skills, so he thought of reporting back: "I am very familiar with this place. Where do you want to go, sir? If we are on the way, why not come with us?"
"Wujiang." Ning He had nothing to hide.
But the black bear spirit who was roasting the leg of lamb next to him heard that the Taoist Master was going there for the first time.
Usually he didn't ask, because he usually wandered around casually, so he thought the Taoist priest also wandered around like this.
"Wujiang?" When Li Xingshang heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "We are also going to Wujiang to do business!"
He said, and then invited: "Sir, we are still more than four hundred miles away from Wujiang. It is snowing now, and there are many dangers on the road. Why don't we go together? We can also take care of each other."<
/p>
"Okay, thank you very much." Ning He nodded and took the tea from another merchant.
Li Xingshang bowed his hand and went to watch the roasted leg of lamb with black bear essence.
The black bear essence continues to be roasted, not afraid of others stealing it.
In addition, Hongshang is making the bed.
Another person continued to heat the dry biscuits until they were soft.
Someone asked in a low voice, why eat dry biscuits when there is meat?
He said, eat meat with dry biscuits, it has a different taste.
"What does it feel like?" His words also caused some people to joke.
Ning He listened to everyone's laughter and leaned comfortably on the straw quilt, reading the travel notes in his hand.
Firelight, tea, inn, fragrant barbecue.
Outside the inn there is cold wind and heavy snow.
