227, Bai Xianggong, don't be afraid! (Please complete the order)
Thanks to Bai Gui's short hair, it didn't take long to drain.
Walk to the living room.
In the buildings on both sides, people had already started to sit down, and dozens of tables were set up.
This is the place where the caravan guards and some of the guys ate. The vegetables were not rich, but they were much better than the dry food the caravan had eaten along the way. In addition, many of the dishes had a meaty taste, which was pretty good.
"Mr. Bai..."
"Mr. Bai, I have met Mr. Bai..."
As Bai Gui walked in the corridor, people kept getting up to greet him, speaking enthusiastically.
This time the Guo family allowed so many people from the caravan to stay overnight.
Cheng Baigui has a lot of affection.
After all, there are so many people in the caravan... Although it is not a war, there are many bandits. Landlords like the Guo family are unwilling to receive so many people. The risk is too high. The caravan may not even reach the general's village.
When you open the gate, your neighbors will ask you to leave.
Bai Gui greeted everyone one by one and was never arrogant.
Walk to the living room.
The table surface in the living room is more than twice as good as the table surface in the mansion outside.
Crystal elbows, West Lake fish in vinegar, chicken stewed with potatoes, cold-seasoned pork trotters and frozen meat, and other large items are all laid out one by one. The dishes are extremely sumptuous. Although not as exquisite as some high-end restaurants, this is the best in the countryside.
Hospitality.
Don't laugh at the farmer's wine, which is thick with wine. In good years, enough chickens and dolphins are kept!
The previous stewed lamb chops and water basin mutton were just appetizers to satisfy the stomach.
"Eat! Let's not be formal!"
"If Mr. Bai was a pure scholar, we would still pay more attention to it, but since Mr. Bai is practicing martial arts, he doesn't need to pay attention to etiquette when eating. The main thing is to eat enough..."
Guo Juren said with a smile.
People who practice martial arts have big bellies and can eat. One meal can be several times better than that of ordinary people. If you really want to imitate the literati and eat slowly, the food on the table will probably be cold, and it will be a waste of time and effort.
Since Bai Gui has practiced martial arts, he will definitely not be rigid about small etiquette.
"Okay! With Guo Juren's words, I will open my belly and ejaculate!"
Bai Gui casually grabbed a big white steamed bun, picked out a piece of pork belly, and chewed it.
Those present at the table, apart from Guo Ju and Bai Gui, were several high-status stewards of the caravan and the captain of the guard. They were all rough people. They did not worry about others when eating. They ate what they could. Being able to eat was a blessing.
As for women, they are not allowed to serve at the table.
A table of noodles disappeared like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, disappearing in half an hour.
But the Guo family still has some spare dishes to serve.
After dinner.
Guo Juren clapped his hands, and the servant held a jujube wood tray with a silk lining, which was the Guanshan knife mentioned during the competition.
He held the handle of the knife, drew it out, and shined it!
The cold light pierces the eyes!
"It's a good knife! This knife is expensive, I can't take it for free."
Bai Gui shook his head. He originally thought it was an ordinary high-quality steel knife, so he accepted it, but at a glance, he knew that this knife was a good knife. Even if it was not a precious sword, the price was not cheap.
"Mr. Bai, why are you so polite? It's just a knife."
Guo Juren waved his hand and said.
If you give an ordinary person a silver dollar, he will feel a loss, but if you give a hundred silver dollars to a person like Bai Gui, he will not part with it at all. Besides, if you put this knife at home, it will be idle when it is idle, so it is just a gift.
Give people nice things to do.
"In that case, I have prepared some fine deer antlers here and put them in the side room."
"I will give it to Guo Juren later, otherwise I will be embarrassed to accept this knife..."
Bai Gui took the Guanshan knife.
The shape of this knife is more narrow and long. The general Guanshan knife is about three feet. This knife is more than four feet. The blade is narrow, less than two inches wide, and the steel used should be high-quality steel.
It's not a precious weapon, but it's much better than an ordinary knife.
As for velvet antler, there is a lot of it sold in Yanjing. Bai Gui's martial arts training also needs this kind of medicine that strengthens qi and blood. Some of the secret medicines Huo Yuanjia gave him included velvet antler as a medicine primer, so he purchased some.
"Deer antler, this is a good thing, so I will accept it."
Guo Juren smiled and did not refuse.
After finishing the banquet for the guests, evening approached.
Bai Gui asked his servants to take the deer antler to Guo Juren's place, and then he put on his clothes and slept.
A night of silence.
…
The next day, morning.
Bai Gui got up almost at dawn.
In the dead of winter, the days are short and the nights are long. Even if you wake up at dawn, it’s probably around seven o’clock.
He walked to the training ground in the backyard.
I practiced stone locking for a while.
He traveled all the way from Yanjing to Qin Province and had no chance to practice martial arts. However, martial arts requires hard work every day, otherwise he will regress. So he took the opportunity to stay at Guo Ju's house and got up early in the morning to practice martial arts.
Coincidentally, Guo Juren was also a martial artist, and his home was equipped with all the equipment for practicing martial arts.
"I didn't expect Mr. Bai to wake up earlier than me."
"I took your deer antler last night and I feel much younger..."
Guo Juren walked over, his steps a little weak, and he saw that he had worked hard last night.
He yawned and practiced martial arts with Bai Gui.
His ability to live for such a long time without losing his health is inseparable from practicing martial arts.
"Antlers..."
Bai Gui put down the "two hundred catties" stone lock.
It suddenly dawned on me.
Why didn’t his passive skill of staying the night work yesterday...,
It turned out to be the result of him giving deer antlers to Guo Juren.
Let Guo Juren take advantage of the glory again.
"Does Mr. Bai still have deer antlers? I'm willing to pay a high price to purchase them."
Guo Juren knows the taste by eating the marrow and cannot stop eating it.
He thought Baigui's antlers were treasures.
Even though he has a lot of money, the deer antlers he buys in the market are not as high-quality and high-quality as those bought by Baigui.
"Antlers..."
"Sorry..., I still have some left, but I have other uses for them, please don't blame me."
Bai Gui thought for a while and said.
He gave Guo Juren a lot of deer antlers last night, but his intention was to keep Guo Juren in good health.
Now Guo Juren begs again...,
It's for that matter, so naturally he won't give it again.
Bai Gui was worried. He was afraid that at Guo Juren's age, he would not be able to shirk his responsibility if something unexpected happened.
"That's really a pity."
Guo Juren sighed as he felt the taste of last night.
He read something from Bai Gui's worried eyes and said with a smile: "Ms. Bai, don't be afraid. I know my body. My wife also reminded me and told me to do it every month on the first day of the lunar month and the eleventh day of the lunar month."
, I was twenty-one before I was willing to live happily in my concubine's room. I lost a lot of years last night and made Mr. Bai laugh."
Guo Juren understood. Bai Gui was afraid that something was wrong with his body. After all, he was a little weak when he practiced martial arts in the morning, but he could still see some clues.
"Mrs. Guo is a good wife."
Bai Gui praised.
How could scholar-bureaucrats avoid such taboos among themselves? The ancients were not necessarily pedantic old masters, and they were more playful than today. When it came to their wives, they would avoid taboos and respect their wives, but when it came to concubines, they would not do anything about it.
