When I was holding the lights, the lights in the north house lit up a dim light.

On the Eight Immortals Table in the north room, there was a basket of freshly baked green onion cakes, and a pot of golden millet porridge was also filled with tiled pots of golden millet porridge, emitting an attractive fragrance.

Four dishes were placed in the middle of the Eight Immortals table, and a bowl of finely cut small sauce and shredded radish were added to the taste of sesame oil.

The cabbage made from Shanxi old vinegar was placed in the shallow mouth plate without cutting it with a knife, but it was broken into pieces with your hands to the size of a thumb. What was serious is the skill of eating and watching home-cooked dishes.

A small, thick disk is filled with pig ears that are evenly cut and carefully. The deep purple sauce mixed with the juice of the green green onion looks so hard that people can't bear to touch the chopsticks.

The largest sand basin is a elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​stewed with red sauce. Just smelling the aroma of meat oil and the sweet smell of star anise, old Peking people can even shout it out in one bite - this must be the sauce elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow-sliced ​​elbow

The year is not good. Even if a customer comes to the house of a small family, a plate of pork head or lamb is added, it will be considered a meat-filled fish. If a small family is willing to sell such food, either a distinguished customer comes, or the old Peking women who are thrifty are secretly envious and cursed quietly - burnt!

Looking at the two meaty and vegetable foods on the table, Xiang Youbao rubbed his hands crampedly, and said to Master Na Jiu who was walking out of the inner room with a wine jerk, "Uncle Master... you are too..."

Putting the wine jack filled with hot water onto the table, Master Na Jiu turned his hand and placed two wine cups as big as a thumb on the Eight Immortals table, shouting outside the house with a loud voice: "My old daughter who knows cold and heat will love people. If you have guests here today, please be kind and give your dad an extra two taels, right?"

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, the girl in a moon-white jacket dress held a small white copper wine pot and walked into the north room gracefully, and gently placed the small white copper wine pot that could hold up to three taels of wine in the wine plug: "I am happy to give you half a pound of wine, but you have to have that amount of alcohol, right? Just three taels of wine, do you like to drink it or not!"

Even though she couldn't see Xiang Youbao standing by the Eight Immortals table, the girl in the moon-white dress took a small bowl and moved the vegetarian dishes on the table into the small bowl, but didn't move the two meat dishes at all. She just took a scallion cake and turned around and lifted the curtain and walked out.

He raised his hand to greet Xiang Youbao and sat down. Master Na Jiu pinched the small white copper wine pot that had just been inserted into the wine plug, waved his chopsticks and picked up some boiled cabbage and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing it with a delicious taste, he opened his mouth to say to Xiang Youbao who had just sat down, "Learn from your master's skills. I believe you have learned the same amount of alcohol tolerance as your master, right?"

Nodded slightly, Xiang Youbao skillfully took the small white copper wine pot fiddled in Na Jiuye's hand, and gently shook his nose while gently sniffing: "Is this the old pacifier, Hengshui, Lao Baigan?"

Looking at Xiang Youbao's warm wine gesture, Master Na Jiu nodded with satisfaction: "I still have some insight!"

As expected, the wine was almost warm, Xiang Youbao raised his wrist gently. Before the water droplets on the white copper wine pot could drip onto the table, he grabbed the white copper wine pot and slapped it. The two small wine pots as big as thumbs were suddenly filled with clear and mellow wine.

He stretched out three fingers and pinched the wine cup. Master Na Jiu put the wine cup to his lips in a very good manner, and sucked the wine that was just as warm as it was into his mouth: "I really learned something from your master. This phoenix nodded with him is also quite authentic!"

He took the wine cup and took a sip. While Xiang Youbao added wine to Master Na Jiu, he lowered his eyebrows and smiled at Master Na Jiu with his eyes: "I heard from the master that the phoenix nodded in the door is the most authentic way of master Master!"

Shaking his head with some serene satisfaction, Master Na Jiu smiled and said with a smile: "This is not a blow! The service items in the Huozheng Gate have their own ways. But when it comes to the phoenix nodding skills that the old and young men in this sect practiced, then..."

As if he had remembered some unpleasant past events, Master Na Jiu sighed heavily: "Oh... In the Huozheng Gate, no matter how good the masters who could tame the eight major beasts fighting were, even if the man who had learned three years of skills came to the various places to serve beasts, the people who greeted and bowed could stand in the same street! But now... even those who poked the cockfighting stadium in Laoguanyuan dared not look at us with a direct look!"

Carefully added wine to Master Na Jiu again, Xiang Youbao carefully said, "I heard from the master that he had gone to Guandong because he offended someone?"

He slapped his thigh hard, and Master Na Jiu glared: "It's not just offending people?! In essence, Huo Zhengmen is walking on the official road, and there is no powerful master behind him. Who can afford to serve those precious things? But your master..."

Perhaps because of the shallowness of alcohol, Master Na Jiu, who had drunk two cups, talked to Xiang Youbao in a nagging manner...

The ancestor of Huozhengmen was said to be the leader of the Shang tribe during the Xia Dynasty and lived in Xiangtu in Shangqiu. Because he was once named Huozheng by the ruler of the Xia Dynasty, Huozhengmen was named.

According to legend, Xiangtu is tall and strong, and often fights with various beasts when leading clans to hunt.

During the long-term battle with wild animals, Xiangtu observed that the food of tall and strong wild horses is something like weeds and wild fruits, and does not have much conflict with the human food chain. If the wild horses can be tamed and the wild horses can be turned from wild to artificial breeding, their useful value will be immeasurable.

So, Xiangtu began to tame the wild horses. After countless battles with the wild horses, he finally tamed the wild horses, making the horses slowly adapt to the domestic living habits.

After Xiangtu successfully trained horses, they personally or guided the people of the Shang tribe to tame bison, wild boars, wild sheep, wild dogs, pheasants, etc. After taming them, they changed from wild to domestic. After these animals were transformed into domestic, due to the improvement and changes in breeding conditions and living environment, their reproductive ability gradually increased. The six animals called horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and chickens were all raised in large quantities during the Xiangtu era. The description of "Xiangtu" about "Xiangtu riding horses" in "Shibition" is a true portrayal of taming and raising livestocks.

In "Lüshi Chunqiu·Gu Yue", there is also a record of "the merchants subdued elephants and abused the Dongyi". It shows that Xiangtu not only domesticated animals such as horses and cattle, but also domesticated elephants, and used the tamed elephants in the war to conquer the Dongyi people. The word "天" in the oracle bone inscriptions seems to be holding pictograms with hands, which proves that Xiangtu is indeed taming elephants.

After Xiangtu, Confucius' disciple Gong Yechang also had the ability to tame animals. According to legend, Gong Yechang's first prison disaster was because he failed to keep his promise and paid a harrier eagle the reward he deserved, and was retaliated by the harrier eagle and was sent to prison.

As time goes by, the ancestors of Huozhengmen have completed their historical mission. As the inheritors of Huozhengmen, the disciples of Huozhengmen have also begun to challenge higher difficulty - taming strange beasts in the world!

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huozheng disciples helped the Shu army tame hundreds of war wolf heads, and charge in battle without any disadvantages.

In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Huozheng disciples trained more than 30 spirit vultures, which were used to spread the message to the army in the west.

Later, in the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing dynasties, the disciples of Huozhengmen also made extraordinary achievements.

But in the late Qing Dynasty, Xiang Youbao's master was full of energy and stubborn temper and never tamed some rare beasts for those high-ranking families. Instead, he hangs out with a group of folk beast-fighting players. He even relies on some ancient beast-treating routines in the Fire Main Sect to find some unique tricks to make those precious beast-treating players who often cost thousands of taels of silver to serve become things that even good beast-treating players can afford to tame!

As soon as this happened, the group of Ji Lao in the Huozhengmen was furious. If everyone in the world could tame precious beasts at the cost of three melons and two dates, the survival of Huozhengmen would definitely be seriously threatened!

And those rich families even hated this matter to the core - even a group of Liba who was carrying the work in Dashilan could make a cucumber gourd and scream for a winter. How could this show the hardcore crops of the Eight Banners, and the bannermen are more than others?

After a while, conflicts became inevitable!

In front of the coercion and coercion of Huozhengmen, Xiang Youbao's young and energetic master bit his feet and stomped his feet, and recognized the conditions offered by Huozhengmen. Within a year, eight major beasts and the ace beasts in Huozhengmen were tamed and the winners were allowed to compete.

After a year later, facing the scene of Xiang Youbao's master winning a great victory, those Ji Lao, who regarded face more than life, were angry and embarrassed and tortured the pictures of strange beasts passed down from generation to generation in the Huozheng Gate to pieces!

The Eight Banners who spent a lot of money to tame beasts could not suppress the evil fire in their hearts. At the scene of the Eight Great Beasts Competition, they attracted swordsmen in the battle and attacked Xiang Youbao's master...

Thankfully, the disciples of Huozheng Sect were not only good at taming beasts, but also quite good at taming beasts. After sending out several swordsmen in succession, Xiang Youbao's master grabbed a fragment of a strange beast picture and fled in panic under the cover of Master Na Jiu in secret.

After hiding in the city of Peking for three days, facing the scene where almost the whole city was a big rope and insisting on putting himself to death, Xiang Youbao's master had to walk the most frequently that the people who fled and escaped from disasters - to break into Guandong!

Perhaps it was because of the arrangement that the strange beast map torn apart by the Fire Master was divided into eight parts of different sizes. Except for the master Xiang Youbao who grabbed one of them, the fragments of the other seven parts of the strange beast map fell into the hands of the Fire Master disciples, the Eight Banners, the Qinggui players or the swordsmen who were present at that time.

Since then, Huozhengmen, which had almost monopolized the animal taming industry, no longer had the advantage of monopoly. Some other people who obtained fragments of the alien beast picture almost all served the beast taming secret technique of using the fragments of the alien beast picture.

Over time, the people in the Huozhengmen who lost the map of strange beasts and even more strong financial support were already like Wang Xiaoer's New Year - year is worse than year!

Especially Master Na Jiu, although he did a very secret job of selling crickets for ten dollars to serve as travel expenses for Master Xiang Youbao, there is no airtight wall in the world?

The old man from the Huozhengmen, the playboy among the Eight Banners, and even the swordsmen who were lucky enough to get fragments of the strange beast picture in the battle were all squeezing Master Na Jiu. On several occasions, as soon as the scorpion in Na Jiu came on stage, a few familiar faces with the scorpion jars stood up behind the opponent. Whether it was a wheel battle or a scene where the winning or losing was determined, anyway, the scorpion that Na Jiu brought with him was in ruins and death was not considered the end!

Over time, it’s fortunate that Master Na Jiu really has the ability to tame scorpions with both hands, otherwise...

With an empty stomach, strong alcohol, sorrow, trivial matters, and Na Jiuye's alcohol tolerance is obviously shallow. After a shallow drink, Na Jiuye's words have become turbulent, and he even nags back and forth.

He pointed at Xiang Youbao's face, and the alcohol sprayed from Master Na Jiu's mouth was intoxicating: "Boy... I know you came to the door just for the fragment of the strange beast picture in my hand! My master told you... there is no one in the door! This fragment of the strange beast picture... This is the dowry of my old daughter! My old daughter is a miserable father... or else... In Sijiu City, who would have to hang out with the insects every day... My poor old daughter..."

Standing up, Xiang Youbao coaxed him with good words and had almost no time to eat anything. He was drunk and talkatively drunk and went back to sleep. While quietly reaching out and grabbing the fly cover placed side by the table, gently buckled the food that was almost unmoved...
