Peach and Plum Spring Breeze and a Glass of Wine

Chapter 194 A Little Break From Busy Life

The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck~"

In the early morning, the rhythmic and excited crowing sound came from the backyard of Yang Ge's house.

"Clang."

Yang Ge pushed open the door and bumped into the brilliant morning sun.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the golden morning sun in the sky. He pawed at his afro like a big monkey, then stood in the morning sun with his mouth wide open and stretched out: "Ahhh..."

"Bing, bing, bing."

Xiao Huang got out of the doghouse, raised his airplane ears, wagged his tail, and came up to Yang Ge's trouser legs.

Yang Ge bent down and stroked the round dog's head. He felt inexplicably comfortable and asked with a smile: "Good boy, what do you want to eat for breakfast today?"

When Xiao Huang heard this familiar question, the smile on his face became more obvious.

Yang Ge: "Picking egg and lean meat porridge?"

Xiao Huang's windmill-like tail slowed down.

Yang Ge: "What about egg noodles?"

Xiao Huang's tail drooped and dragged on the ground.

Yang Ge held the dog's head and rubbed it wildly: "You just want to eat big meat buns, right?"

"嘤嘤嘤."

Xiao Huang grinned and tried to lick his palm with his tongue, and his tail shook so much that his butt swung up.

"It's already this late..."

Yang Ge looked at the sun hesitantly, wondering if it was too late to steam buns now?

The ingredients are all there at home. I just happened to bring back a piece of fresh pork belly last night. There are fresh green onions and cabbages in the vegetable garden in the backyard. The big meat buns with half fat and half lean cabbage and green onions are oozing oil when you break them...

"Slurp!"

Yang Ge sucked a mouthful of saliva and struggled to himself: "No, you are the innkeeper, how can you skip work?"

"Well... skipping work is not impossible. Isn't Zhao Miao in the inn? Anyway, it's just that group of salted fish and the surrounding neighbors who come and go. Besides, Li Qing is in the inn, so there won't be any trouble."

He struggled to touch his body left and right, and took out a copper coin from somewhere. He held it in his hand and gestured to Xiao Huang: "Hey, the old rules, if it's a word, we'll eat a big meat bun today, and we can go to Erhei to play by the river in the afternoon; if it's a flower, we'll eat noodles today, and Dad will fry two eggs for you!"

After speaking, he flicked his fingertips lightly, and the copper coin flew up and fell to the ground, still spinning.

Xiao Huang stepped forward and slapped the copper coin on the ground with his paw, tilting his head and staring at his paw.

Yang Ge squatted down and stared at his paw: "Open it!"

Xiao Huang glanced at him, licked his lips and took his paw away.

On the copper coin with a round outer edge and a square inner edge, the four characters "Xiping Tongbao" were facing upwards.

Xiao Huang could not read, and looked up at his father with burning eyes.

Yang Ge stared at the copper coin for a few seconds, made up his mind and slapped his thigh: "It's my turn to slack off today!"

He picked up the copper coin, blew off the dust on it and put it in his arms, then got up and went back to the house to get a face towel, basin and toothbrush for washing.

Xiao Huang followed him into the house step by step, until Yang Ge told it that it would eat meat buns today, it happily rushed into the yard and had fun everywhere...

...

After a while, the unique aroma of meat buns filled the whole yard.

The steamer was as big as a millstone, and it steamed three layers at a time.

The father and son stood in front of the stove, staring at the steamer eagerly and drooling.

Yang Ge turned his head to look at Xiao Huang: "Is it fragrant?"

Xiao Huang stared at the steamer and wagged his tail.

Yang Ge raised his head proudly: "Is your father awesome?"

Xiao Huang licked his cheek perfunctorily.

Yang Ge laughed "hehehe".

At the right time, Xiao Huang suddenly pricked up his ears and looked towards the gate with a serious and vigilant face.

Yang Ge looked in the direction of its gaze in confusion, and heard someone knocking gently on the gate.

It was so light that it seemed as if the knocking sound was afraid that the owner would hear it. It did not belong to anyone who often came to this yard.

"Woof woof woof..."

Xiao Huang rushed out of the kitchen, changed his weird voice, and used a low and fierce barking sound to remind his father that he did not know the person coming.

Yang Ge stood up, responded with a "coming", and went to open the door slowly.

"Squeak."

The courtyard door opened, and a familiar face appeared outside the courtyard door.

"Flea?"

Yang Ge looked at the man outside the door with a long sandalwood box on his back, wiping his sweat with a smirk: "Why are you here? Is there any trouble in the inn?"

Flea's full name is Fu Qian. The reason why he is called Flea is because this guy is... a little condensed, and has a wretched face with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a poisonous mouth, so he got the nickname of Flea among the salted fish in the inn.

Flea was hunched over, smirking, and his face was full of sweat. He was completely different from the casualness when he saw Yang Ge in the inn: "Reply, reply to the second master, there is no trouble in the inn, I am here... on the order of the Taoist Master to return the lost things of the second master."

As he spoke, he took the long sandalwood box from his back, held it in both hands and presented it to Yang Ge, his legs trembling as if he was electrocuted.

After hanging out with Yang Ge in the inn for so long, he almost forgot that the man in front of him was not only a big salted fish that was too salty to even turn over, but also the best killer in the world!

Until last night, their Louwailou Daozun sent him a signal, and he rushed over to see the wound on Daozun's hand and the headless corpse...

He suddenly came back to his senses!

"Daoist Master?"

Yang Ge looked at the man in front of him in surprise, and laughed and teased: "I didn't realize, Brother Flea, you are actually an undercover sent by Louwailou!"

He smiled lightly, but when Flea heard what he said, her face quickly turned from white to red, from red to black, and she almost lost her balance: "Second Master Mingjian, the villain has hit us." The inn has never sent any unfavorable news to you..."

Yang Ge smiled and said: "Stand still, I didn't say what I'm going to do to you."

He strolled out of the courtyard gate and opened the sandalwood box in Flea's hand. Sure enough, lying inside was the sword "Fengxue" belonging to the man in black armor from yesterday.

He took it out from the box, took the knife out of its sheath, and slowly stroked the mirror-like narrow blade with two fingers in front of him. His fingers only felt some burrs in front of the handle, but the blade was intact...

Yesterday, this sword collided head-on with the Lengyue sword!

"Good knife!"

He sheathed the knife, put it into the sandalwood box, took the box from the flea, and then looked sideways at the group of figures pushing riveted iron boxes on wheelbarrows in the alley: "What is this?"

Flea wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and responded with a submissive smile: "This is what you lost... two hundred thousand taels of gold!"

"What I lost?"

Yang Ge laughed and said: "Two hundred thousand taels of gold?"

One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver. Two hundred thousand taels of gold is equal to two million taels of silver.

What he lost was three million taels of silver. What he said to the outside world was that he lost five million taels, and Tao Zun also knew that what he lost was three million taels.

In other words, Dao Zun used his own money to make up for the shortfall of the two million silver!

Whether this apology for putting him on stage is sincere enough or not is not mentioned for the moment.

Being able to mobilize two hundred thousand taels of gold in one night... Louwailou's strength should not be underestimated!

Yang Ge guessed that they were transferred from the capital overnight.

Flea nodded and said "yes" with a bowed smile.

"I don't want your money."

Yang Ge suppressed his smile and shook his head slowly: "I only want my own money. Whoever took it will send it back to me... If you really want to apologize, dig out the person who took my money as soon as possible. Don't say anything to you." You don’t even know what you want, and that person wouldn’t have come to your building yesterday!”

Flea's expression changed, and she wanted to say something at the moment, but Yang Ge had already carried the sandalwood box and called Xiao Huang to turn around and go into the house.

Flea could only forcefully swallow the words that came to her lips, clasped her palms together and watched Yang Ge enter the house, slamming the courtyard door shut.

"Bang."

The moment the courtyard door closed, Flea's whole body relaxed, and he subconsciously opened his mouth wide, panting violently like a fish on trial, and almost collapsed to the ground.

He suddenly discovered that only Yang Erlang in the inn was the large salted fish they knew...

And Yang Erlang outside the inn is the world-famous "Sage Revealed True King" Yang Erlang!

And Yang Ge walked into the back room with the snow sword, and casually put the snow sword on the weapon rack... right under the cold moon sword and above the Japanese famous sword Sanriyue Zongjin.

As soon as he put down the knife, he suddenly remembered the big meat buns in the pot, turned around and rushed to the kitchen in a hurry: "Ah, my big meat buns!"

The father and son had a hearty meal. They choked and rolled their eyes and shook their heads in disgust.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Yang Ge went out with two large meat buns and took Xiao Huang to Lao Liu's house. He chatted with the old shopkeeper for a long time. After lunch at Lao Liu's house, he strolled away from Lao Liu's house. The Liu family comes out

After coming out of Lao Liu's house, Yang Ge took Xiao Huang to visit the inn and fed the hard-working Zhao Yu some big meat buns. He also let Li Qing and others taste his cooking. Flea looked stiff. She hid in the crowd, avoiding his gaze, but found that he didn't even look at her.

It was already afternoon when the father and son came out of the inn. He took Xiao Huang to Baishi Store and bought a large pack of ingot candles and incense. Then he went to Shangyousuo Yamen to take out Erhei, who was fostered in Shangyousuo... There was no way, his small courtyard really couldn't serve a treasure like Erhei, so he could only get some exposure to the glory of Xiu Yiwei.

A man, a horse and a dog left the city from the east gate of Luting and ran happily along the sparkling Bian River to the small fishing village.

Yang Ge ran side by side with Er Hei in front. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly as he ran: "Hahaha... Xiao Huang, don't rest, hurry up and keep up!"

Xiao Huang chased after him until his tongue was hanging out. As he chased, he shouted angrily: "Woof woof woof..."

The warm sunshine of the setting sun poured down on the bodies of one person, one horse and one dog, giving them a ring of gold and elongating their young figures.

The long shadows kept swaying forward as they ran, engraved into life like a shadow puppet show.

An ordinary evening paved the way for the trance many years later...

This chapter is a bit short, I will add more to make up for it tomorrow~
