After leaving the dumpling restaurant, Bai Gu and the other two wandered around on the street to eat.
It's not that Bai Gu and the young Taoist need it, it's mainly that Mr. Wu doesn't have a big appetite and is still a little older, so he's afraid of accumulating food.
For Bai Gu, those three plates of dumplings were at most seventy full, and one more plate would be almost enough.
As for the young Taoist, he only had one plate of dumplings in the dumpling restaurant, plus the few remaining dumplings on Mr. Wu's plate, it wasn't too much.
After just a few steps, Bai Gu turned to Mr. Wu and said, "Old Wu, I have something else to do, so I'll take a step forward."
Mr. Wu nodded, "Okay, pay attention to safety."
Mr. Wu thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Bai, please give me a reply to Dr. Liu. My family has a big business and a lot of cotton-padded clothes. I am not afraid of this winter. Dr. Liu also needs to pay attention to keeping warm. If the cotton-padded clothes are not enough, If so, you can come and get it from me."
Bai Gu responded, turned around and left.
Seeing Bai Gu walking away, the young Taoist approached Elder Wu and asked cautiously: "Is there any conflict between Elder Wu and this boy?"
Mr. Wu smiled bitterly and said: "The dragon has reverse scales and the phoenix has a weak neck, let alone a newborn calf?"
"ah?"
"It's nothing, I just asked some questions that I shouldn't have asked, which made Xiaobai angry. I had no choice but to treat him to a meal to calm down. However, I'm afraid this kid is still holding his anger in his heart." Mr. Wu shook his head helplessly. Shake his head.
The young Taoist looked surprised, "Mr. Wu, what is your identity? Are you so quarrelsome with this brat?"
Mr. Wu slowly raised his head and looked into the distance, "He went to Gu Xuefeng."
"What's so strange about a trip to Gu Xuefeng? Who hasn't been there..." the young Taoist muttered.
Mr. Wu smiled softly, "He did me a... not a small favor."
The young Taoist frowned and said doubtfully: "It's just a small favor, so there's no need to do this, right?"
Mr. Wu didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile.
The young Taoist seemed to have suddenly thought of something. His frown slowly spread, and his whole face slowly became stiff. His wide eyes were full of surprise, "No way..."
Mr. Wu nodded, "otherwise you think I would be so polite to the old guy just based on his few words?"
The young Taoist was a little lost, "How could it be possible, how could it be possible..."
"Everything is possible in the world." Mr. Wu smiled, "Will and heart change, gods and forms. You should have heard of it."
"I've heard of it... Pindao has heard of it... How could it be possible that Pindao hasn't heard of it..." the young Taoist murmured.
Mr. Wu changed the subject, "Xiao Bai looks like he has a lot of trouble with you and doesn't like you very much."
Mentioning this, the young Taoist suddenly looked depressed, "I don't know, Pindao. At first, Pindao defrauded him of a few copper coins, but later he paid him back. He even followed him to his grandmother's grave and knelt for three times. God, Pindao has never made such a mistake before."
"Then you, probably like me, said something you shouldn't have said." Mr. Wu thought for a moment and gave a possibility.
The young Taoist sighed, "This kid doesn't know what's going on. Everything about him seems to be covered with a layer of cloth. I can't see clearly, otherwise I would have known why."
Mr. Wu was a little confused, "Is it the old guy's handiwork?"
The young Taoist shook his head, "The old guy doesn't have such a bad taste, and he's not so boring. It's just for this little thing."
Mr. Wu put his hands behind his back, "Then I can't figure it out."
The young Taoist seemed to have enlightened himself at this time, "If you can't figure it out, stop thinking about it. Thinking too much will give you a headache."
Mr. Wu raised his hand and slapped the young Taoist on the back of the head, and said with an angry smile: "You kid, please remind me!"
The young Taoist chuckled, "Don't dare."
——————
Bai Gu was wandering around the street, and now he was squatting on a step watching the sideshow in front of him.
The monkey charmer threw an hydrangea out. While the hydrangea was still in the air, a monkey in colorful clothes jumped up and caught the hydrangea in one bite.
It attracted a burst of applause from everyone.
After the monkey landed, he walked to the monkey charmer and handed the hydrangea back to him.
Bai Gu looked a little confused.
Why do the monkey tricks and the monkeys act so much like they are teasing dogs?
I saw the monkey charmer taking out another copper pole with several colorful ribbons hanging on it, swaying and dancing in the cold wind.
The monkey charmer swung the copper pole in his hand, and the colorful ribbon on the pole drew a beautiful arc in the air. The monkey was attracted by the ribbon and jumped a few times while waving its paws.
Bai Gu felt more and more that the monkey looked like a dog.
The monkey charmer said loudly: "Everyone, the next step is the final show, getting into the ring of fire!"
After that, the monkey charmer started running, and the monkey behind him saw the ribbon move and quickly chased after him.
The monkey charmer pulled out the four hoop frames while running, took out the fire stick with one hand, and lit the four hoop frames one by one. I don’t know what is painted on the iron ring, but it can still burn brightly in the wind and snow.
The monkey charmer suddenly stood in the middle of the four iron hoops, turning the copper rod in his hand constantly. The monkey also kept jumping over the fire hoops because it was chasing the ribbons, without feeling tired at all.
The onlookers kept cheering.
After more than ten rounds, the monkey dancer turned the copper rod into a short copper bar and took it back in his hand, cupped his fists around and said: "Dear gentlemen, today's performance is over here. What do you think? If your performance is passable, just reward me with a few dollars. If you think it's not good, you can come back tomorrow. If you feel it's annoying, you can scold you directly, or you can bring your relatives and friends to scold you tomorrow! Thank you for your support. Got it!"
The monkey immediately ran out, holding an iron basin, and began to go around the onlookers asking for rewards.
When he walked to Bai Gu, Bai Gu looked at the few copper coins in the iron basin, and then looked at the monkey charmer who was sweating because he performed very hard. He felt a little unbearable, so he took it out of his arms. Several copper plates were placed in the iron basin.
The monkey squeaked a few times as a thank you.
The monkey charmer also bowed to Bai Gu to thank him.
Bai Gu didn't respond, got up and left.
Bai Gu bought a few kilograms of mutton on the way and went back to have a good meal with Old Liu Tou and Brother Peng.
It's too cold. It's just right to have something warm.
When there was still some light in the sky, Bai Gu stepped into the doorstep of Old Liu Tou's house covered in snow.
"Grandpa Liu, Brother Peng, I bought mutton. It will be hot to eat at night!"
"If you buy so much meat, you won't have to worry about it." Old Liu Tou looked at the oil paper bag Bai Gu put on the table, feeling a little helpless. I'm afraid the meat in it wouldn't fit even five kilograms.
There is a bag next to it, with five or six sesame seed cakes lying in it.
"It's okay, it's okay. With Brother Peng here, we can solve these problems together. I'm afraid I won't have enough to buy some sesame seed cakes." Bai Gu chuckled.
Brother Peng sat on the wooden bed, saying nothing and laughing.
He also hasn't eaten mutton for a long time.
Lao Liutou had no choice but to take the oiled paper bag containing the mutton into the kitchen.
Bai Gu screamed, "Grandpa Liu, let me help you."
With that said, Bai Gu also got into the kitchen.
After a while, Old Liu Tou put a copper stove on the table, which was full of mutton. Even though Old Liu Tou's copper stove was not small, it was still almost full.
"It's time to eat." Old Liu Tou shouted, and Bai Gu and Brother Peng rushed to the table at extremely fast speeds and sat upright.
Old Liu Tou picked up a piece of mutton and put it into his mouth, started chewing, and glanced at the two of them, "What are you pretending to be? Why don't you eat it quickly?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, then quickly picked up a piece of mutton and put it into their mouths.
Oh, so hot!
Oh, it smells so good!
Oh, delicious!
Bai Gu and Brother Peng were so burned that they grinned, but they still stuffed mutton into their mouths piece by piece.
I can't help it, it smells too good.
Bai Gu raised his head, looked at Old Liu Tou, and suddenly grinned.
Old Liu Tou was a little confused, "Xiao Bai, what are you laughing at?"
The mutton is tumbling in the copper stove, the milky white mutton soup makes a gurgling sound, and the alluring aroma of the meat floats in the air with wisps of steam, making people salivate and salivate.
The steam from the copper stove in the middle of the table blocked part of the view, and the old man's head across the table began to become blurry, making it difficult to see clearly.
Old Liu Tou's face seemed to have become a piece of dough without any facial features, like a big cake.
Bai Gu couldn't help laughing, but he still made an excuse casually.
"It's okay, it's so delicious."
Old Liu Tou and Brother Peng were helpless and laughed together.
The laughter grew stronger in the cold winter night, amidst the scent of mutton.
