Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 31
Fang Yizhi got up and walked over quickly, and said with a warm smile: "Yang Yishi, Miss Xiao, everyone is here, you are the last one, you should punish yourself with three cups." Pulling Yang Menglong over, facing the crowd of guests, he said, "Everyone, this is the righteous man who led the righteous people of Xiaojiazhuang to rise up and kill more than ten slaves, Yang Menglong!"

Dozens of pairs of eyes were all focused on Yang Menglong, looking up and down. The look was like buying chicken in the market, which made Yang Menglong feel uncomfortable all over.A wealthy businessman with a fat head and big ears chuckled, stroking the funny thin beard on his chin, and said: "You are so heroic, you are indeed a young hero." The man next to him was fatter than him. In modern times, you have to press the button to take a photo. The group paid a fee and said: "No, look at those eyes, full of fighting spirit and wildness, like a bison. You can tell at a glance that he is a knight who can defeat dozens of people!"

Yang Menglong's forehead was suddenly lined with black lines, it looks like a buffalo! ?Whether you can speak or not, you are like a bison, and your whole family is like a bison!But this is someone else's territory, and it's not easy for him to turn his face, so he can only squeeze out a smile and bow to everyone, which is regarded as a salute.Fang Yizhi pointed to the two super fat men, and said, "Yang Yishi, let me introduce you, this is the owner of Limin Grain Store, the boss Mo Hongfa, and this is the owner of Hengxing Cloth Village." Boss Li Maocai, these two are the top wealthy businessmen in this county, and they have opened branches in the capital. This is Boss Zhang, this is Boss Lin, this is Mr. Zheng, the former Juren, and this is..."Look It can be concluded that the magistrate of the county is very familiar with these people, and he can call them names casually. Those who were called by him all smiled and bowed their hands to Yang Menglong, but their eyes were more focused on Xiao Yufang—— — This big beauty is much more eye-catching than Yang Menglong, a black monkey.Yang Menglong also knew that his charm was not comparable to that of Xiao Yufang, so he generously gave up the limelight to Xiao Yufang, and it was fine if he also bowed his hands. He was more concerned about when he could eat, and he didn't have any in the past few days After eating a decent meal, he couldn't move his chopsticks with so many delicacies in front of him, he was so hungry.

But there are people who are so ignorant. The boss Shi who runs the cattle shop came over and looked at him, and smiled: "The righteous man led a group of villagers and killed more than a dozen Jian slaves. He is really skillful! How is it? Interested in joining our thriving cattle business? I will give you double the wages!" He is a cattle dealer, driving cattle all over the world, encountering bandits is a common occurrence, and this year's cattle are very valuable, just let people snatch a few It was enough for him to hold his heart and sigh for a few days.If he could be recruited into the gang, who is known to be good at fighting at first glance, how would ordinary little thieves dare to attack him?

He had a good idea, but someone didn't let him get it.The Escort Chief Zheng said in a low voice: "Yang Yishi has such a good skill, is it too wasteful to be a cattle dealer? According to me, it is best to join our Escort, as you can get a high dividend. , and gain knowledge!"

Boss Shi was not happy: "Boss Zheng, what do you mean? What kind of cattle dealer? Are you looking down on me, Shi?"

Escort Zheng chuckled: "Don't dare, dare not, Zheng is just discussing the matter."

Boss Shi's face turned a little dark.Not to mention the hard work and danger of selling livestock, it is not a decent job. What he hates most is that people call him a cattle dealer, and this man surnamed Zheng is actually yelling at each cattle dealer in front of so many people. Just to lose face!He was about to retort, but Yang Menglong was already impatient, and squinted his eyes and called: "I said, can I have dinner? I'm almost starving to death!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone stopped talking and focused their eyes on him, all of them looked surprised.Originally, the so-called banquets of these guys are never for the purpose of eating. When everyone arrives, they will chat and talk, and they will not be seated until the host repeatedly invites them. Singing and dancing to add to the fun, maybe they have to recite poems, anyway, a meal can last from noon to night, in a word, it is enough to eat.Everyone is used to this kind of cumbersome etiquette and enjoys it. It is the first time that Yang Menglong yells that he is hungry and wants to eat without saying a few words.As a result, these gentry and wealthy businessmen looked at Yang Menglong with a bit of disdain -- they thought he was such a great person, but he turned out to be a bumpkin!On the other hand, those young ladies covered their mouths with their handkerchiefs and sniggered, thinking that Yang Menglong was so frank and cute.

Fang Yizhi was the first to react. The county magistrate laughed and said, "Hey, I forgot. Yang Yishi has not eaten a grain of rice since last night, and he has long been hungry. You are welcome, please." Sit up!"

Yang Menglong cheered, quickly took a good seat, then stretched out his hand to protect the seat next to him, and called: "Miss Xiao, come quickly, I'll help you grab a good seat!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was dumbfounded again, Xiao Yufang blushed, wishing she could find a crack on the ground and slip in.This bastard, do you know a little etiquette?It's fine for him to rush over to grab a seat in a hurry, but the key is that we haven't known each other for three days, and he wants people to sit next to him, is there such a thing?Xiao Yufang gritted her teeth secretly, this time she really lost all face, and she won't go to a banquet with him after killing her!

Fang Yizhi laughed and said, "Miss Xiao, you can sit beside him."

Xiao Yufang had no choice but to sit down beside Yang Menglong with a face of reluctance, and gave him a hard look.As a result, the old man didn't care, picked up the chopsticks quickly, and one guy picked up the most delicious belly of a carp, put it in her bowl, and said: "The meat of the belly of carp is the most delicious, eat it quickly, and eat it cold." It won’t taste good if you eat it.” Then he took another chopstick, and the fish head landed in his bowl.The audience was dumbfounded once again, did you make a mistake, you started picking up food even before the county lord was seated!Xiao Yufang really wanted to put the food in the bowl on his head hard, to see if this elm head could be opened up, even Fang Yizhi's complexion was not very good-looking, and the behavior of this bastard It was too out of line, and made him, the master, a little embarrassed.How can Yang Menglong care so much, he is almost starving to death!Before eating at home, he would wait for his parents to arrive before eating. The problem is that his parents are not here, so why pay so much attention?Eat, do not eat for nothing!
The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Fortunately, at this moment, footsteps sounded, and Zhang Qianhu walked in quickly. Seeing that the place was full of guests, he bowed his hands to everyone with smiles on his face, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Zhang is late, and he should punish himself with three cups." !"

Fang Yizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. You are finally here. If you don't come, I don't know how I will step down!Going forward quickly, he said with a loud smile: "Master Zhang came just in time. The food and drinks have been served, and the guests are all here. We are waiting for you. Come, come, Master Zhang, sit here!"

Zhang Qianhu made a gesture of invitation: "The county honors please!"

Fang Yizhi said: "Master Zhang, please!"

Yang Menglong opened his mouth, and a fishbone fell out of his mouth... So the boss has so much etiquette?I'm sorry, I'm really sorry this time.Sadly, Zhang Qianhu happened to be sitting opposite him. Seeing that everyone's bowls and chopsticks were neatly arranged, he and Xiao Yufang had large pieces of fish in their bowls. Wait until the county lord is seated before moving chopsticks?"

You want to pick a fight, don't you?
Yang Menglong continued to gnaw on the fish head with his head down, not bothering to pay attention to him.

Seeing that he was speechless, Zhang Qianhu was even more proud. He shook his head and said, "Young Master Yang's behavior is somewhat inappropriate. The sage said..."

Yang Menglong said suddenly: "Why didn't that pig head Zhang Yu come?"

Xiao Yufang let out a laugh, while Zhang Qianhu choked, and before the cloud could fart, the cloud was blown away by the wind.His complexion changed continuously, and he said, "Mr. Yang, son of a dog..."

Yang Menglong stopped: "Master Qianhu, you'd better not call your son a dog, a bastard, etc. From a genetic point of view, this is very bad for you." Shaking his head, complaining for Zhang Yu: "Although that pig's head It's bad, but you can't call him a son of a bitch, it's too cruel."

brat?
Zhang Qianhu was stunned for a while, and finally came to his senses.My son is a son of a bitch, so what am I?old dog?Don't mention the annoyance in his heart. Originally, "gouzi" is just a modest name. In this day and age, no matter how good you are, dad always refers to you as "gouzi" and "gouzi" when he mentions you in front of outsiders. It's called, don't you think it's a disadvantage?Then hurry up and become a father, and when you become a father, you can call his grandson a "dog son" and earn money for the rest of your life.What a title, he turned into a son of a bitch after being teased by Yang Menglong in such a way, and he became an old dog with honor, not to mention how annoyed he was, a few veins appeared in his temple, and he almost smashed the wine glass in Yang Menglong's face !
Yang Menglong looked at Zhang Qianhu indifferently, his unruly eyes were clearly warning Zhang Qianhu: "It's okay, don't mess with me, or you will suffer!"

Fang Yizhi was startled when he saw that the two were about to throw the table, and hurried out to smooth things over, saying: "Now Jiannu is raging in the capital, and even fled to this county. They may come to the city at any time. Zhang Qianhu and Yang Gongzi They are both strong in martial arts, and they should work together to kill the enemy, defend the village, and share the worries of the Holy One, so why bother to hurt your peace because of some trivial matter? Give me a face, let's just expose today's matter, okay?"

Zhang Qianhu gritted his teeth and said, "Master Fang has spoken, how dare Zhang refuse to follow?"

Yang Menglong shrugged and said, "I have no objection, as long as that pighead doesn't mess with me again."

In front of the old man, he cursed his son one by one as a pig's head. Few of them could swallow it. Zhang Qianhu was so angry that he jumped up: "Boy, you!"

Fang Yizhi secretly groaned, did I get kicked in the head by a donkey, and actually let this pair of enemies sit together, it's just because I feel uncomfortable!He gave Yang Menglong a warning look, raised his glass at the same time, and said loudly: "It's rare for everyone to get together, so don't mention those unpleasant things, cheers!"

All the wealthy businessmen and gentry stood up and raised their wine glasses: "Cheers!" The atmosphere was so enthusiastic, but Yang Menglong and Zhang Qianhu still looked at each other fiercely, like two angry roosters, who might pounce on each other at any time!
After finishing this cup, we can finally eat.Zhang Qianhu temporarily put aside the grievances with Yang Menglong, and concentrated on dealing with the delicious food in front of him.Although he is a thousand households, but to put it bluntly, he is a rich man, a frog at the bottom of the well——how big have you seen?He didn't have many opportunities to taste the delicacies of mountains and seas on the table, so he had to take the opportunity to eat enough.Not to mention Yang Menglong, he came to the end of Ming Dynasty for almost a week, and he was hungry for three whole days, followed by multigrain cakes and wheat rice, but his stomach was tossed miserably, the most delicious thing he ate was actually It's boiled eggs!It is rare to have so many pure natural and pollution-free delicacies.If Zhang Qianhu had to put on a bit of elegance and eat slowly, then he didn't even bother to pretend, he devoured voraciously, eating so fast, the chopsticks were directed, the cups and plates were messed up , the guests at the same table were all stunned, looking at him like looking at a guy who escaped from an African refugee camp.

Fang Yizhi smiled wryly, letting this bastard do something like this, he would be completely humiliated.He winked at a purple-clothed girl, and the purple-clothed girl understood, stood up and saluted all the guests, and said in a gentle voice: "Thanks to Master Fang for not disliking my humble background and sending invitations, so I can see all the distinguished guests, It is a great honor. The little girl has nothing to repay, so she can only offer a dance to cheer up the wine. I hope you will not laugh at me."

Boss Shi said with a smile: "Miss Zi Yan is extremely talented, to be able to dance for palms, and to be able to see her beautiful dancing posture, this life is not in vain!"

The girl in purple said with a smile: "Master Shi has won the award." She gestured gracefully, and a girl who was a little younger than her exhaled lightly, and a ray of heavenly sound floated out from the small hole of the flute , let everyone's minds flutter, and they couldn't help holding their breath.At the same time as the first agile note floated out of the flute hole, the girl in purple stretched out her wide sleeves and fluttered her robes, like a piece of snow falling from a gap in the clouds, dancing with the wind, and quietly falling to the world. Very, so soft that it breaks the heart.She seems to be born for dancing, her blood, her bones, and every muscle of her are full of inspiration, firmly grasping the rhythm of the music, like an elf jumping between notes.

Yang Menglong forgot to breathe and just looked at it stupidly, feeling nothing but wonder in his heart.Such a pure and elegant dance, such ethereal and beautiful music, is really unheard of, even he, who is tone-deaf, is already fascinated by it!
Thanks to our ancestors, it is you who have left us such a brilliant, splendid and magnificent culture.
