The two parties reunited among the green mountains and green waters, and they were no longer a boy and a little girl.
Listening to Li Baoping's loud greeting, Chen Pingan nodded with a smile and joked: "Already drink? No need to hide it, my uncle is also an alcoholic."
Li Baoping smiled brightly and said, "What an old girl!"
Chen Pingan was speechless.
According to common saying, Li Baoping should be able to say that he is an adult and can drink.
It wasn't until this moment that Chen Pingan remembered Li Baoping, Li Huai and the others were quite old.
But there is no way, I always like to think of them as children. In fact, according to the customs in my hometown, everyone who traveled far away in those days should actually get married long ago. Maybe their children will reach the age of kiln worker apprentices.
Today, Li Baoping only needs to raise her eyes slightly to see her junior uncle. She blinked her eyes and said, "Fortunately, my junior junior uncle looks exactly the same as I imagined, so I just called him junior junior uncle."
Even if you don’t say hello, I will recognize you at a glance!”
Chen Pingan reached out and patted Li Baoping on the head and said with a smile: "In the eyes of my junior uncle, except for being taller, there seems to be no difference."
It seems that she is still the little girl in red who is running through the streets of her hometown, carrying a locust tree branch on her shoulders.
Thinking of this, Chen Pingan was no longer so sad, so he quietly gave up the idea of ​​taking out the sword gourd and drinking.
When he was fourteen years old, when he was traveling far away with only the little treasure bottle by his side, Chen Pingan would occasionally wonder, is the little girl really not tired after walking such a long way? At least she complained a few times,
But never.
Chen Pingan couldn't help but smile all over his face. No matter how hard he restrained himself, he still smiled. He took out a small bamboo chair from the nearby objects and handed it to Li Baoping. The two of them sat by the water together. Chen Pingan lifted the pole again and hung it.
After baiting, he threw the rod skillfully again, turned around and said, "I still have the fishing rod."
Li Baoping sat aside and shook his head slightly, then raised his feet and knocked his shoes on his feet, "Just watch my uncle fishing. Eat and drink together, lazy people are blessed."
At the foot of Chen Ping'an's green bamboo chair, there was a rope tied to a fish basket that entered the water. A big stone was used to hold down the rope. Li Baoping stood up and squatted by the water, pulled the bamboo fish basket out of the water, and found the fish inside.
I caught a lot of them, all of which are golden carps that are unique to Yuanyangzhu. However, these golden carps have nothing to do with narcissus. They are just cute to look at. They are added with onions, ginger and garlic. No matter whether they are steamed or braised, they will definitely be delicious. Mr. Master
Very good craftsmanship.
Li Baoping shook the fish basket in his hand, swallowed secretly, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, did you bring all the seasonings for the fish?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, pots and pans, cooking wine, spicy soy sauce, salt and vinegar, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, onion and garlic are all good. In terms of cooking skills, my uncle has only lost once in his life. He must
Get your place back."
Li Baoping grinned and understood. Back then in Huang Tingguo, they were invited to have dinner at the house of a minister who had retired to the mountains. Everyone at the dinner table devoured their food, especially Li Huai, who was the most heartless and disliked the food of his junior uncle.
Being dull, I can still blame my uncle for not being able to catch big fish. The ones the size of a palm are also called fish. Look at the fish head on the table. It is bigger than your whole fish. Look at this
Big plate, this soup...
Junior uncle felt a little sulky for the first time that time.
Thinking of this old incident, Li Baoping suddenly felt that this guy Li Huai deserved to be beaten so much when he was a child. This time it was just right to settle accounts with him after his fall?
Li Baoping put the fish basket back into the water and asked softly: "My brother is also traveling here now, have you seen me?"
Chen Pingan said in his heart: "No, I haven't been here for a few days. I have been staying in Gongdelin with my husband and senior brother, and then I went to Wenjin Ferry in Panshui County. I just met A Liang and Li Huai
, and then without paying attention, he was taken to participate in the discussion. During the discussion, I secretly asked Brother Mao, I heard that you are over there in Aotou Mountain. I just came here to fish not long ago, and I originally planned to fish for a while.
I’ll go find you.”
Chen Ping'an would explain things in detail without knowing it.
Maybe it's because Li Baoping, as his junior uncle, is used to this.
In fact, Chen Ping'an plans to take advantage of this rare opportunity to participate in the meeting to do a lot of things. For example, he will pay a visit to the real Huolong of Paidi Peak and thank Yuan Lingdian of Zhixuan Peak for the gift he received last time.
You also need to take the initiative to visit the house as a guest, find the head of the Yu family in person, and say thank you. Yu Panshui once gave Pei Qian a bamboo yellow paper knife, which is a priceless item. In addition, Yu Panshui
Shui, the Supreme Emperor of the Xuanmi Dynasty, has traces of money in Aquarius Continent and Tongye Continent. I heard Cui Dongshan say that Yu Mei and the cornucopia in Aai Ai Continent are old friends who are loyal to each other and spread wealth.
.In this case, many things can be discussed. Opening up early and clear boundaries can save a lot of trouble than rushing around when the matter comes.
Old Man Yao once said that if you have something to do and burn incense, it is better to run a few more times on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. You usually take long distances to celebrate the New Year.
I heard that Mrs. Gui is here now. Chen Ping'an plans to ask some questions about credit and help Liu Xianyang finalize something. Maybe they can have a wedding banquet soon. Don't ask anyone to help organize the wedding banquet.
He, Chen Ping'an, argued for it. This hometown custom of listening to the corner root cannot be lost, it must be kept.
He also wanted to explain the same truth to a certain martial arts master from the Daduan Dynasty using the method that the other person was good at.
But these big and small things can all be put on the back burner compared to the little treasure vase.
Chen Ping'an suddenly lifted the rod, leaned forward, and began to stretch his arms. The bamboo rod and fishing line were swung out in an arc, and then he began to carefully walk the fish. The figure on the small bamboo chair tilted back and forth.
The gods on the mountain go fishing in the water, which is the same as the Qi practitioners going to the wine table to drink.
If you use magic to transform magical powers, it will be a very embarrassing thing. To use the words of the most famous fisherman in the world, the martial artist Zhang Tiaoxia, since the ability is so great, just use mountain magic to move the river, the entire river
It's all yours. Hundreds and thousands of kilograms of fish are nothing. Do you want to fill them with things that are close at hand and sell them to make money? Does your family run a restaurant or a fish market?
Li Baoping watched the tug-of-war intently and said casually: "I came here with Mr. Mao all the way from the Sword Qi Great Wall. I have been following Sister Yu before, but she has more and more things to do and is busy every day.
After receiving some hospitality, I said goodbye and left."
Chen Pingan nodded and suddenly asked with a smile: "How is the chess master of the Shaoyuan Dynasty, Chiang Kai-shek? Can he beat the lord of Baidi City?"
Chen Ping'an had heard of Jiang Longxiang for a long time. When he was staying at the summer palace, he asked Lin Junbi frequently about this man's legendary deeds.
Chen Ping'an knew that the other party was a recognized child prodigy when he was young, and his chess reputation had already been demonstrated. He went to the capital and won a chess player in one year. Seven years later, he was known as Shao Yuan's second best, second only to the country.
He studied under Chao Pu. Later, in the vassal state of the Shaoyuan Dynasty, a young man named Zhou Dongjiang appeared. According to his age, he was two generations behind Jiang Longxiang.
The height of "Second Hand" means that Jiang Longxiang can only let him have two pieces at most, and the outcome of both sides will be unpredictable. However, Jiang Longxiang insists on his junior chess skills, and is still the "Third Hand" for the time being. The two sides finally met in Kuai Zai Pavilion, and that's why the "
"Kuaizai Pavilion Chess Record", although it is a handicap chess, both sides talk about it with their hands, exhausting their efforts, and their skills are so amazing that people at the time called it "Jiang Long and Zhou Hu".
This famous chess master Chiang Kai-shek, who is famous throughout the continent, probably still doesn’t know that the young hidden official of Jianqi Great Wall has actually “admired” him for a long time.
Li Baoping said with a smile: "Anyway, I took Lin Junbi to guard the ring together, but I didn't play chess with Lin Junbi. Later, when Fu Zhi really climbed the mountain, he quickly stepped aside and gave Yu Qingqing a seat. He himself disappeared and didn't even watch the battle. Later,
As soon as Fu Qi left, he showed up and helped Yu Qingqing review the story. What was wonderful here was wonderful and what was unreasonable was inappropriate. From the looks of it, not to mention Little White Emperor, even City Lord Zheng could climb the mountain himself.
It’s a tie.”
Chen Pingan said with a smile: "Otherwise you think that our chess master Chiang Kai-shek defeated a chess player in his hometown of Shaoyuan Jingcheng in one year, and for seven years without a single defeat, it was actually a manifestation of his chess skills.
Accurately testing chess skills and carefully selecting opponents requires enough shame. Besides the chessboard, it is also a national player among the national players. Then quickly find a drink, dress yourself up, and use the strength of the drink to politely refuse the emperor's gift in full view of the audience.
He is a man of chess status, he is a mad man, he is so heroic and strong-willed. If I were the emperor of the Shaoyuan Dynasty, I would give him a plaque with gold letters on my shoulders to shoulder my moral responsibility."
Li Baoping nodded and said: "Then I will send you another couplet. On the chessboard, the dragon and the tiger move, and the officialdom is flowing smoothly. If you add a horizontal batch, you will be invincible in the world."
The top, middle and bottom are all put together.
Chen Ping'an couldn't help but laugh and said: "If my uncle's guess is correct, when Jiang Qisheng and Yu Qingqing replay the game, there must be a few people around them who are responsible for the surprise."
Li Baoping laughed and said: "No, it's not surprising at all."
While chatting and walking the fish, Chen Pingan finally successfully closed the pole and dragged a herring weighing more than 20 kilograms to the shore. The fish basket was a bit too small. Since he caught enough fish today, Chen Pingan didn't think about it, let alone the herring.
The meat is of average quality, not really delicious, but the meat is thicker and has fewer thorns, making it more suitable for smoking and pickling. Chen Pingan squatted on the shore, deftly removed the fishhook, gently held the back of the herring, waited for a while, and then let go until it saw the light.
The big herring, which was choking on water, suddenly swung its tail, splashed a burst of water, and quickly headed for deep water.
Chen Ping'an raised his head and smiled with Li Baoping. He seemed to be saying, "See, this is the big fish that Li Huai has longed for."
Li Baoping raised his hands and gave a thumbs up.
Chen Pingan sat back on the bamboo chair and said with a smile: "How about we take a trip to Aotou Mountain?"
Li Baoping's eyes lit up, "Put a sack on him and hit him with a sap?"
Chen Pingan complained: "How could a scholar do such a thing? It's not easy to walk on the mountain road at night, and some people bump into each other. We can't help them, and they do bad things with good intentions."
Li Baoping said seriously: "Yes, yes."
Then she slapped her fist and said, "Then I have to change my clothes and do good deeds without leaving my name."
In fact, when she met her eldest brother Li Xisheng, he said that she no longer had to pay attention to the family rule of wearing red clothes.
It's just that Li Baoping never thought about changing. Some habits will never be used to him if he changes them.
Children who were born and raised in Lizhudongtian originally had no feelings about leaving their hometown. Anyway, they would spend their whole lives wandering in that place, and it was hard to say whether they would accept their fate or not. This had been the case for generations. Born there, it seemed as if they had finished their whole life and left.
It’s not too far to go. Every family visits the tombs during the Qingming Festival. They put a piece of fat meat, a piece of rice cake and tofu on a white porcelain plate. Old people, young people, and children can walk around the tombs in an hour at most.
To be continued...
