At noon the next day, Gao Yanei came to see Cao Cao carrying a rectangular package, three steps at a time.
Cao Cao could tell at a glance that based on the size of the package, it was either a waist knife or a sword. He smiled and said, "Brother Xian, could it be that because of Wang Xiaohu's incident, you feel that Bianjing is unsafe and want to learn martial arts from my brother?"
Gao Yanei rolled his eyes and said, "I want to learn martial arts. There are plenty of people willing to teach me, so why bother Big Brother?"
As he spoke, he untied the package with great effort, placed it heavily on the table, and said with a smile: "Yesterday I reported that I was successful, and my father captured the thief that night. As expected, it was the king of Liangshan, Xiaohu, who sold a lot of money to Grand Master Cai. My father Whenever you are happy, you will reward me!"
His voice was high-pitched and fast, and he was as excited as a male duck following a group of little female ducks, attracting Wu Yong and others.
Seeing many people in Gao Yanei, he became more and more excited: "Brothers all know me well. I am a dignified Gao Yanei. In this Bianliang City, I can call the wind and rain, and be unparalleled. What else do I lack? I don't lack anything!" I thought. , why not take the opportunity to help my elder brother ask for a treasure——"
He patted the package vigorously and said: "My father has a treasured sword. He loves it as much as life, so he would never give it to me. But there was a criminal, dismissed Yang Zhi, who killed people in the street. It is said that a good knife was confiscated by the Kaifeng Mansion and fell into the hands of my father, so I took advantage of his happiness and begged him for the knife and gave it to my eldest brother, so that our acquaintance would be in vain."
After saying that, he proudly opened the bag, only to see a single sword inside. The scabbard and handle were plain, but it was much wider than an ordinary waist knife, and the handle was as thick as a wrist.
Cao Cao looked at it and said: "What a big sword!" He stretched out his hand to pick it up. No wonder Gao Yanei came up and panted. It was really heavy.
Hold the sheath with your left hand, hold the handle of the knife with your right hand, pull it out with force, and hear a loud "buzz" sound, like the roar of dragons and phoenixes. Look at it intently, what a precious sword! It is carrying a heavy gold-backed silver blade, which is bright and bright against the frost and snow. Just dance with a knife, and it is like gold liquid and silver slurry.
Everyone in Wu Songshi's show turned their faces to the side, closed their eyes, and blurted out: "What a knife!"
Seeing the crowd's amazement, Gao Yanai became even more excited and showed off: "This sword has three great features. The first is that it blows hair and breaks hair, the second is that it can chop copper and iron without curling the blade, and the third is that there is no blood on the murder knife!"
There are no big hairless insects or cows here. Except for Gao Yanei, there is no one who doesn’t know the goods. Once they hear it, they will know how precious this knife is!
It is actually not difficult to break hair by blow-drying, as long as the cutting edge is sharp enough and thin enough, it can be done;
It is not difficult to chop copper or iron without curling the blade. As long as the blade is made of good steel and is not thin or sharp, it can be done;
But there are very few knives in the world that can do these two things at the same time. Extremely sharp is brittle, and hard is difficult to sharpen. These are two completely opposite directions. It can be both in one blade. The two words "treasure sword" are enough. Call it.
As for the fact that there was no blood on the murder knife, it was because the knife was fast enough. It cut through without stopping, and the blood did not have enough time to seep out.
Wu Song, Shi Xiu, and Mu Hong were the three most skilled in martial arts. They took the sword and played with it one after another. Mu Hong waved it twice and shouted: "The gold is embedded in the back of the sword to increase the weight of the sword. In my opinion, the shape of this sword is originally It should be a long-handled sword, but the long handle was cut off and changed to a single sword."
Wu Yong said in surprise: "Then I heard that Yang Zhi came from Tianbo Yang Mansion, and his ancestor was Yang Jiye, the Duke of the Golden Sword. Since this sword is a family heirloom, could it be modified from the Golden Sword of Duke Yang?"
Mu Hong said: "It's very possible. After all, except for the old Ling Gong, most of the Yang family's generals use guns. It's reasonable to switch to single-handed defense."
When everyone's eyes met, they all knew what each other meant: Poor Yang Zhi, who wanted to restore the lintel of his ancestors, but ended up abandoned in the green forest, and felt sad in his heart. Needless to say, it would be somewhat comforting to get back this ancestral gold-backed sword.
Cao Cao took the sword and returned it to its sheath, put it away solemnly, and said with a smile: "This sword is wonderful! Brother Xian is indeed a man of deep loyalty. Well, while you are happy today, Brother Yu will do a little thing and ask Brother Xian to go to Master Li or Zhao How about having some fun with Yuan Nu?"
Gao Yanei was overjoyed when he heard this, but shook his head and said: "My brother is talking in layman's terms again. How can there be any reason to go to my cousin's house at noon? She spent the night alone, and she didn't know whether she was awake or not. The younger brother came early to deliver the knife. , Secondly, there is something exciting, please watch it! Didn’t Wang Aohu behead Cai Jiu in Jiangzhou? Grand Master Cai wants to avenge his son. At three quarters today, outside the Meridian Gate, Wang Aohu will be beheaded alive. What a good show. It only happens once in a few years, so if we set off now, we will definitely get a good seat."
Cao Cao was surprised and said: "We often hear people say death by a thousand cuts, but how many of us have seen it? Today, I asked my dear brother to go and see it. Why is it called death by a thousand cuts? Let's go, go, go, Brothers, all go watch it together!”
Everyone stood up immediately, went out happily, and walked to the Meridian Gate in a big way. On the way, they passed a food shop. Gao Yanei stopped and said, "Stay here, the almond tea here is very good. I'll have a bowl before going there." Not too late."
After hearing this, Li Kui said anxiously: "Ah, it's nice to see someone beheading someone, so why do you want to have tea? Wouldn't it be nice to have a meal after seeing someone beheading someone?"
Gao Yanei sneered and said: "You look like a village bird, you have no experience. Today I will teach you a lesson: whenever you kill someone, you must have food in your belly, but you must not be full. One thing is that there is something in your belly If you eat, you will be courageous, and those lonely ghosts will not be able to bully you; secondly, the pieces of meat he chopped off will fly, and the intestines will flow. If we look at it, won’t we want to vomit? If there is no food in the stomach, we will vomit out the bitter gall water. , it will be extremely uncomfortable. If you eat too much, you will vomit a lot, but it will smell bad and make people laugh. Therefore, you must eat, but don't eat too much."
Wu Yong frowned and said, "As soon as brother Yanei said this, Xiaosheng felt like vomiting."
Gao Yanei laughed strangely and said, "You're useless, you'll compete with me to see who vomited later. Let's go for a walk and have a bowl of sweet tea to suppress nausea."
Immediately, I entered the store with my head held high, shouting and urging the store owner to make ten portions of eight-treasure almond tea.
This store is well-known in Bianjing and its business is very good. There are more than ten people sitting in the store. Gao Yanei and these ten people came in and it was full immediately.
However, the boss's hands and feet were also very fast. He responded with his mouth and his hands were busy. He didn't even have half a stick of incense. He brought ten cups of tea and snacks to the table.
This thing is also called apricot cheese. It is made by finely grinding almonds and water into a slurry, adding rice flour, adding water and boiling, stirring constantly, simmering over low heat until it becomes sticky, and then adding fried sesame seeds. , walnut kernels, hazelnut kernels, pine nut kernels, and chopped preserved dates, plum meat, longan meat, and preserved figs. If you like sweet food, add more preserved dates and figs. If you like sour food, add more prunes. Meat.
Li Kui ate it for the first time. He took a spoonful and licked it. His appetite was satisfied. He opened his mouth wide and a cup of hot apricot cheese rolled down his stomach. It was sour, sweet, soft and hot, and his eyes narrowed in comfort.
He licked his lips with unfinished thoughts, opened his throat and shouted: "Boss, your soup is delicious, but the cup is too small. Do you want to feed the birds? I will make ten more bowls to quench my thirst."
The customers in the store couldn't help but laugh when they saw how rude he was.
Gao Yanei disliked his village and bluffed him: "You still want to eat, and you can't wait to watch the stabbing. I will leave in a while, leaving you here to eat slowly and pay the bill."
Li Kui didn't care if he wanted to kill people or not. He was startled when it came to paying the bill. He jumped up and screamed: "You are a bird in the government office, how do you know the sufferings of the people? I Tieniu works hard on duty, but I can't get more than a few thousand dollars in a month." , before the waist was warm, the mother-in-law took it away. If you want Tieniu to treat you, you should at least inform the branch in advance. When I got the money, I hid part of it in advance to treat you. Now it comes unexpectedly, how can I get a penny? "
He was a big man like a ghost, and he complained that his wife had left him with nothing. Who wouldn't laugh after hearing this? For a time, everyone in the store was laughing, and Gao Yanei was also laughing with joy. He started to suffer from the symptoms of madness and teased Li Kui: "You black boy, if you are willing to invite me sincerely, you are not afraid of running out of money. This store has always had a rule. When you have no money to pay, stick your ass out and the boss will give you ten cents for a kick."
Li Kui was a simple and honest man. He believed it to be true and said happily: "You are worthy of being at the feet of an emperor, and a shop owner is so extravagant! In that case, you all go on your way and leave me here to check out!"
He shouted happily: "Boss, I will sell my anus to you for lunch today. You can kick it a thousand times and snort. You are not a good man. Let's make twenty more bowls first and settle the bill with my butt."
When he shouted, all the customers in the store laughed.
There was another young boy, fair and clean, delicate and delicate. He was eating slowly and slowly with a small cup in hand. He just took a mouthful of apricot cheese and entered it. He heard that Li Kui was going to "settlement with his butt", and he made a sound and had a wound in his nostrils. Two jets of apricot cheese were sprayed out, hitting Shi Xiu's face squarely.
There is a branch of teaching: the yamen's chivalry gives him a sword, and his iron butt can be exchanged for cheese. Pay careful attention to the two lines in the nose. Spray it away and it will still calm the beauty of the guests.
