Chapter 4: Net, Bow, Arrow, Oil, Wine
The Good Demon Teahouse is closed, yet sounds of clanging and clattering can be heard from inside
Turning his head, he saw the big foolish pig's head, and only then did he realize that Big Fool's mother or father was a pig demon, which could be described as half a pig
Wang Cheng smiled foolishly without saying a word
Ku Meiqin looked around and asked, "Shopkeeper, is there something going on today? Why is the door not open?"
Lu Tong smiled and shook his head, saying: "Then let's buy two. We will slaughter one today, and after we finish eating, we will slaughter the second one."
Da Han showed no reaction
Many households hang steamed buns and tofu skins from the beams of their homes, and in the center of the tea house, a bundle is suspended. Although this is relatively uncommon, it is not considered out of place.
The bird shifted its bottom to sit down while stretching its neck towards the wine jug to take a deep breath
And it continued down the dark, pitch-black corner all the way to the ground
At night, killing birds will surely result in bloodshed; the various neighbors around the teahouse are a mixed bag, and although their cultivation levels are not high, there are a few with exceptionally keen senses
The blazing sun hangs high in the sky, and there are few pedestrians on the street
The enormous gray wings lifted the curtain leading to the backyard
One can tell without looking that Lu Tong has definitely fallen into a deep sleep
What day is it today, that one is actually willing to buy old honey wine
Afternoon
... ...
The sticky oil is a barrel of black oil, not heavy but extremely viscous. Even if a bird demon gets coated with this oil, it cannot fly, and it is often used to deal with flying creatures
The pigpen opened, and without the need for anyone's assistance, the two pigs obediently followed behind the big fool as they walked out
In the teahouse, Lu Tong was riding on the beam, nailing the newly purchased animal trap net beneath the crossbeam.
In the teahouse, ninety percent of those drinking tea are men. Recently, among the women he has conversed with, only Ku Meiqin has such a soft tone.
Da Han ate an entire pig leg and is now lying behind the counter to rest
Lu forcefully stomped his hoof on the floor
Wang Cheng found a table and sat down
Ku Meiqin sat beside and smiled, gently tugging at her little husband who had not yet crossed the threshold, and whispered: "Have you forgotten what we came here for"
Wang Cheng's face flushed, and he lowered his head
He plans to slaughter the pig in advance and drain its blood to suppress the bloody smell
With money in his pocket, Lu Tong looked at the various arrangements in the teahouse and immediately felt uneasy, always thinking that it would be safer to spend all the silver.
After speaking, he swallowed a large mouthful of saliva with force
Lu Tong poured a full bowl of wine from the jar for Niao Mao and said with a smile, "I would like to wish us success in laying the foundation in advance"
The round, glistening eyes of the fox, resembling those of a bitter beauty, squinted into a narrow slit
You?
It has surprisingly come to fruition so quickly
As time passed slowly, a dull sound of heavy breathing echoed in the quiet teahouse
From below, the animal trap net appears to be a suspended black bundle
Gada!
It seems somewhat inappropriate to slaughter a pig in front of the big fool
However, this morning, I went out just once and spent everything completely
Da Han suddenly stood up from behind the counter, looked around with wide eyes, and exclaimed: "Boss, what is going on?"
Ku Meiqin has already had one experience, and she is not shy at all. She confidently stated, "Of course, the sooner the better for a great thing"
As soon as the two left, Lu Tong immediately unwrapped the red paper package
The large and sturdy figure stepped directly into the pigpen, glanced around, and then reached out to pat the heads of two of the pigs.
The arrows are talisman arrows, each wrapped at the back with a spell talisman "Qi Sword Technique," which is also a treasured collection of the blacksmith Liu from the forge.
Lu Tong squeezed the gift bag and weighed it in his hands, having a clear idea of the value of the reward. With a smile, he congratulated, "Not bad! Congratulations in advance to both of you. I will definitely attend when the time comes."
As soon as Da Han finished responding, a delicate sound like bird feathers came from the backyard: "Old bee wine?"
At that time, it will be sufficient to pull this rope with force, and the large net above will immediately fall down, large enough to cover two tables
Come in and take a seat
Lu Tong opened the door a crack and saw Ku Meiqin and Wang Cheng standing side by side outside the door
Slaughtering pigs and stewing meat
Da Han was intently staring at the fat pig in the pen, and he licked his lips, saying: "Pork, delicious, mouth-watering"
The sound was so loud that even the person next to me heard a "thud".
The slaughtering of pigs is genuine, while the braised meat is merely secondary
The dark, long legs of the crane are approximately four feet in length, allowing it to reach the table in just three to five steps
In the dark corner of the wall, besides a rope, there was also a bow, three arrows wrapped in yellow paper at the tips, and a bucket of glue used to trap eagles
Lu Tong sat at the center table of the tea house, awaiting the arrival of Niao Mao
Lu Tong sat on the stool, observing the surroundings, and finally felt a sense of relief.
Night falls gradually
Lu Tong sighed helplessly: "Go brew a pot of strong tea, the old honey wine is too potent, I need to sober up."
Big fool
In recent days, the business at the teahouse has been increasingly good, and the copper elephant used for collecting money is nearly full.
Lu Tong originally had great trust in Da Han's accuracy, but as the moment approached, he began to worry about Da Han's intelligence
Lu Tong has already thought of an excuse, smiling as he said: "Business has been good lately, and I was thinking of adding a meat dish in the future. I will go buy a pig later to make braised meat."
It's not too late; his family has a butcher shop in the city. I will take you there right now. Do you want it already slaughtered or not yet slaughtered
"Bang bang, is Manager Lu there?"
The bird's head appeared first, followed by its long neck that poked in, and finally, the gray crane's body stepped in cautiously.
Haha, let's do it!
Wang Chenghong, blushing, handed over and said softly: "Shopkeeper, we owe you a great deal this time. We have set the date, please come and celebrate the wedding with us."
In the entire plan, the initial surprise attack by Da Han can be considered the most crucial element
Lu Tong naturally had no objections: "I need it this afternoon, will it be in time?"
According to Lu Tong's plan, he was still thinking of dealing with Wang Cheng's parents at the teahouse
Buy wine, return home
Five taels of silver
Lu Tong took it over and casually remarked, "So soon"
Oh
The three of them sat for a while longer
When it comes to familiar fields, Wang Cheng appears much more confident and no longer hesitates when discussing books
Wang Cheng immediately perked up upon hearing "buy pigs," straightened his back and said, "Shopkeeper, come to me for buying pigs. Although my family only sells vegetables, I have relatives outside the city who raise pigs."
Lu Tong and Wang Cheng scheduled a time to select pigs, and this couple then proceeded to the next place to deliver the invitation.
According to the agreement, Lu Tong took Da Han to the vegetable market to find Wang Cheng to buy pork
Both the bow and the net were purchased from a nearby blacksmith shop
The equivalent of 5,000 copper coins is comparable to the income of a teahouse for one month
Wang Cheng's face turned even redder upon hearing this
As he walked to the pigpen and looked at a large fat pig, Lu Tong inexplicably felt a strong sense of familiarity.
Lu Tong smoothly followed the beam, pulling the rope that opened the animal trap net to the corner of the wall
Good
The two half-demons each drank a bowl
Ku Meiqin took out a red invitation card and a red paper-wrapped reward from her storage bracelet, handing them to Wang Cheng.
The door of the teahouse was knocked, and a woman's voice sounded, somewhat familiar.
Lu Tong quickly guessed who was outside the door
After the two individuals entered, Lu Tong closed the door again
Big fool, do you eat pork
Inside, there is a silver ingot, shining brightly, its surface covered with intricate patterns, appearing very enticing
Ah
