There wasn't anything good in the shop.
Zhang Feng simply removed a leg of lamb and washed it in a big pot. Then, he set up a firewood and burned it.
A moment later, the fragrance of meat wafted in the air. Old He and his daughter, Xiao Ya, widened their eyes and swallowed their saliva.
Poor people basically relied on squatting in the wild to eat meat. If they could get it, it would be enough to last them for half a month. If they couldn't, they would go to the river to try their luck and see if they could catch a fish to satisfy their cravings.
As for pork and mutton …
They didn't even dare to think about it!
Usually, the wild rabbits around Chang 'an were extinct. The bigger ones hid in the depths of the Qinling Mountains. Therefore, for the commoners, they were still considered lucky. At least they could start a small business and feed their family. Sometimes, if they were lucky, they might be able to see some meat during the New Year.
Only Zhang Feng didn't care about their status. Sometimes, when he was happy, he would give Xiao Ya a piece of meat and say that it had gone bad and couldn't be eaten anymore. .
However, Old He knew that it wouldn't be a problem to keep it for at least a month. Even if it went bad, it would be boiled in water and eaten together with the soup. How could there be any smell of rancidity?
In the end, Old He could only sigh that Zhang Feng was a prodigal!
"The dishes are here!"
Just as Old He's imagination was running wild, Zhang Feng shouted and came out with a big tray.
There weren't many dishes.
Five plates. One plate of hand-shredded lamb.
The other plate was cut into pieces and dipped in vinegar.
There were also a few stir-fried dishes and a big bowl of rice.
When Xiao Ya saw the meat, she pounced on it. Old He was so anxious that he grabbed Xiao Ya's yellow braid and was about to hit her. Zhang Feng hurriedly stopped Old He.
"Hey, hey, hey, she's a child. Let her eat! We don't have much, but we have a lot of meat! Don't let the child suffer! "
Old He choked.
He patted Zhang Feng's shoulder hard.
"Fengzi! I know you're a good person. In this world, there aren't many living Bodhisattvas like you!
"But Feng Zi, I want to ask you something. You have to answer me honestly!"
Zhang Feng saw that Uncle He was being so cautious, so he put down the piece of meat that Xiao Ya was fighting for and asked, "Tell me!"
"Let me ask you, are you …"
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Feng's crotch.
Zhang Feng immediately exploded.
"Old He, what are you saying? I, Zhang Feng, am upright and honest. I'm a man, not a castrate! "
"That's good, that's good!"
Old Ho patted his chest, picked up the bowl of wine, and gulped it down in one gulp.
Two taels of wine in a bamboo flask was not much, but Zhang Feng had a lot of good wine!
As soon as he entered, he smelled the aroma of wine.
He was a little embarrassed to take out his wine, but it would be inappropriate if he didn't bring anything when he came to talk to him.
Zhang Feng didn't mind his wine. He finished a bowl of it. Seeing that there was no more wine, he turned around and took two jars from the counter.
"Old He, let's drink to our hearts' content today!"
"If you have something to say, say it! Brother, if you don't want to take a look, I'll show you! "
As he spoke, Zhang Feng was about to unbuckle his belt.
However, Old Ho pulled him back.
"I believe you! But if you don't find a wife like this, it's not a good idea either! You spend money like water every day. This is not good! "
"Yes, you have a wife to do the housework for you!"
？？
What did he mean?
Zhang Feng was dumbfounded.
It seemed that Old He's purpose for coming here today was not pure!
"I know you don't like people like us, but it's not good for the neighbors to see you like this. Twenty years old and not marrying is disrespectful to your ancestors! I can't watch you go on like this. "
"There are three ways to be unfilial, and having no descendants is the worst. You're not young anymore. I've been looking on the streets during this period of time and really found a young lady from a big family. She looks very similar to the singers at the entrance of Cuiyun Restaurant. Nod your head. If you like her, we'll find a matchmaker …"
"Fine, fine, fine!"
"Old He, Brother! We're not in a hurry! We're only twenty years old! "
Zhang Feng was going crazy.
They were matchmakers!
Why were Lao Li and the others like this? Even Old He was like this?
Was he such an eyesore?
Old He could not take it anymore.
He stretched out his rough hand and pointed at Zhang Feng's eyes, saying, "Look, look at your eyes. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? You're already like this. Why don't you find a wife? "
"How about this? If you don't like her, you can go to Cuiyun Restaurant to vent your anger! It's not good to keep holding it in. I heard that the prostitutes there only earn one dollar a night. This bit of money is nothing to you, right? "
Zhang Feng was dumbfounded.
Cuiyun Restaurant?
You want Lao Tzu to go there?
Zhang Feng was a little suspicious. Old He had some ulterior motives.
"Old He, to be honest, I haven't been sleeping well these days. It's not because of anything else. Every night, there will be a squeaking sound coming from the old house next door. It's like a brothel. I feel like I'm living in a brothel. Old He, who used to live next door? Is it haunted?"
"This has caused me to be unable to sleep for the entire night!"
Hearing that.
Old He finally understood.
So this was the reason for this boy's troubles?
Old He could not help but let out a soft cry of surprise.
"If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have noticed. During this period of time, I've always seen a group of bearded men coming in and out. A few of them were eating dumplings at my stall and spoke Turkic!"
"Hmm?"
"Turkic?"
