Although Linzi is a place where rich businessmen gather, there are more than 100,000 households and hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and it is impossible for all of them to be rich. Naturally, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter and exit such high-end places as Zhuangjieyue City, so there are also a large number of low-end civilian activities in Linzi City.

Gao Yuanli took Gao Yuan and Jing Ke through several streets and came to a street called Liu Xiang. There are also shops on both sides, of which there are mostly liquor shops, but whether it is the modern decoration of the shop pù, it is not the same as Zhuang Jieyue City. Moreover, the street is not wide, and although there are many pedestrians, most of them are on foot, and there are few horse-drawn carriages, and occasionally there are one or two, and they are all horse-drawn carriages. Therefore, it is also very obvious that it is a very civilian street.

When they came to a shop, they saw a row of stoves at the door, and a large pot was set on each stove, and the pot was steaming, and there was a strong smell of meat, which could be smelled far away.

Gao Yanli walked into the store with Gao Yuan and Jing Ke, only to see that the small shop was not big, only five or six tables, because it was still a little early for lunch, so there were no other customers in the store.

The three of them sat down around a table, and saw a man immediately come over to greet him, saying, "Mr. Gao is here, it's so early today."

Gao Yuan saw that this man was about forty years old, not tall, about seven feet, slightly fat, with unkempt grassy hair, strangled with a strip of cloth, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, his chest was very open, revealing the black hair on his chest, and a sharp knife was inserted in his waist, greasy but cold, and it looked very sharp.

Gao Yanli nodded and said, "Brother Dog Tu, today I brought two friends to your shop to eat the dog meat you cooked, have you cooked it now?" ”

The man laughed and said, "Well, Mr. Gao's friend is my friend of the dog butcher, but you came a little early, and the pot hasn't been cooked yet, so please wait a while." ”

Gao Yanli smiled: "Okay, let's wait a minute." ”

The dog butcher smiled, "Okay, you can sit here for a while, and when the pot is ready, I will serve it to you immediately." As he spoke, he went to look at the pots of dog meat boiling at the door.

There are a lot of rich people in Linzi City, and the rich people are good at meat, so the slaughtering industry has become an industry, and the slaughtering of livestock has also become a professional technology, killing cattle is called cattle slaughter, killing pigs is called pig slaughter, killing dogs is called dog slaughter. There are two types of slaughtering industry, one is to slaughter livestock and sell it to wine stores or others. There is also a kind of suicide self-production, slaughtering and liquor store operation.

According to Gao Yanli, the owner of this shop is unknown, claiming to be a dog butcher, and he is the only one in the whole shop, who kills dogs as a business, slaughters them himself, and then boils dog meat and sells it. He only kills ten dogs every day, cooks ten pots of meat, and when he comes to his shop to eat dogs, he must buy one pot at a time, and never retail, and he only cooks ten pots every day, and never adds more. However, the dog meat he cooked was delicious, and the bones were removed, so he could buy all ten pots of meat every day.

It turns out that Gao gradually left and the dog butcher had a side of knowledge, that was more than ten years ago, Gao gradually left the world, when he went to Wuzhong, he saw that the villagers were celebrating at home, and he was very happy, but this time was not a year, I don't know what was celebrating, Gao gradually left the meaning, and asked the reason, it turned out that there was a young man in Wuzhong, fierce and chivalrous, and suffered from the township. The villagers called it the "three evils" in the township together with the Nanshan Tiger and the Xijiu Jiaolong.

I don't know who spread this saying to the ears of the young man, the young man knew that he was disgusted by the villagers, so he went into the mountains to shoot the tiger, went down to the river to fight Jiao, after three days and three nights, chased dozens of miles in the water, the villagers thought that he and the wrestling dragon were all gone, and the three evils in the township were eliminated, so they congratulated each other. At this moment, the young man actually killed the dragon, returned with the head of the Jiao, and saw the villagers celebrating, only then did he know that although he had eliminated the two evils, he was still disgusted by the villagers, so he put down the Jiaotou, left his hometown, and drifted away, not knowing what to do.

Gao Yuanli wanted to make friends with the young man at that time, but in the end, he was a step too late and didn't catch up with him. And after that farewell, Gao Jianli did not see the young man again, a few years later, Gao Jianli went to Wuzhong again, asked the villagers about the whereabouts of the young man, the villagers said, after the young man left his hometown, he never came back, some people heard that he visited famous teachers all over the country, re-learned art, and also said that he became an official in a certain country, and also said that he became a thief, and everyone said that they were different.

This time, Gao Yanli and Jing Ke came to Qi to find the deputy envoy who assassinated Qin, and accidentally discovered that the young man actually lived in seclusion in Qi State, claiming to be a dog butcher, killing dogs and buying meat as a business. Originally, he hadn't seen the dog butcher for more than ten years, and the dog butcher's appearance and temperament had changed greatly, Gao Yanli couldn't recognize him, but he saw that there were still scars on the dog butcher's arm after the slashing, so he recognized it.

After listening to the story of Gao Yuanli, Jing Ke also nodded and said: "Being able to go into the mountains to shoot tigers and go down to the river to fight Jiao shows that this person is strong in martial arts, and the villagers are disgusted with themselves, and they are willing to eliminate harm for their neighbors, proving that this person does have a chivalrous heart, or is a suitable candidate." He looked at the plateau and said, "What does Shangqing think?" ”

Gao Yuan said: "He called himself a dog butcher, not using his original name, which means that he doesn't want to look back on that time, and with his martial arts, it is not difficult to get an official position in other countries, but he is willing to be a butcher in the Qi country, there must be a reason, if you don't figure out the reason for this, I'm afraid it is difficult to move him." ”

Jing Ke also nodded and said, "What Shangqing said is extremely true. ”

A few people were talking, only to smell the aroma coming to their noses, only to see that the dog butcher had already held a large pot of dog meat with one hand, and a large tray with the other hand, in which there was a plate of bread and three bowls and chopsticks, put them on the table, and said: "Let the three of you wait for a long time, this pot is just right, a few of you can eat it while it's hot." I don't know how many people want to drink? ”

Jing Ke said: "Naturally, there is a reason to eat meat and whether there is alcohol. ”

The dog butcher also laughed, "Okay, okay, I'll go get the wine." ”

After the dog butcher left, Gao Yanli picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Come on, pay for the taste of this dog meat first." As he spoke, he tore off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Gao Yuan and Jing Ke also had some index fingers at this time, so they also raised their chopsticks and fished for dog meat in the pot to eat. But when the chopsticks were stretched out, the two found that it was a whole dog in the pot, but the bones of the whole body had been removed, and only the skin and flesh remained. Both of them are strong in martial arts, and they can remove the bones of a dog, but they can still maintain a complete body, whether it is eyesight, hand power, or knife power, they are almost divine skills. It seems that in the past ten years, the dog butcher has indeed had an adventure.

At this time, the dog butcher came over with a large jar of wine and three bowls of sea, and said, "Three, the wine is here." As he spoke, he placed the wine and bowl on the table.

Jing Ke's eyes were blazing, and he said, "I can't tell that Brother Dog Tu is still a stranger." ”

The dog butcher was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This friend said it is really funny, I am just a butcher who kills dogs, what a strange man." ”

Jing Ke smiled and said: "This pot of dog meat, even the meat with soup and this big iron pot, to say the least, is fifty or sixty catties, and it has just been picked up on the stove, it must be very hot, and Brother Dog Tu can actually pick it up with one hand without wasting any effort, this arm strength alone is very comparable." ”

Gao Yuan poked the dog meat with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "To be able to enter the room with no thickness, there must be room for its recovery, and killing the dog can kill this step, that is, the cow is cooked, I'm afraid it's just that." I didn't expect to meet a strange person like Brother Dog Butcher here, so it was really worth the trip. ”

The dog butcher's smile stopped, and he said, "Brother Gradually leaving, these two friends you brought are so good eyesight, I'm afraid they are not ordinary people." ”

Gao Yanli smiled slightly, pointed at Jing Ke, and said, "This surname is Jing Mingke, and he is the secretary of Yan State." He pointed to the plateau again and said, "This surname is Li, and he is the secretary of the county, and these two are envoys to the Qi State." ”

After listening to Gao Yuanli's introduction, the dog butcher was also a little surprised, looked up and down at the plateau, and said: "Today, the entire Linzi City is rumoring Shangqing's name, saying that Shangqing's argument is comparable to Zhang Yi and Su Qin, and in a few words, it can be said that the King of Qi drove Hu Daoyuan out of Qi State." I didn't expect the dignified lord to come to my small shop. ”

Gao Yuan also smiled: "Don't dare, Brother Dog Tu is too talkative, but when I came here, it was not in the name of Shangqing, so please don't be commensurate with my official position, all brothers in the four seas are brothers, let alone identity." ”

The dog butcher slapped it on the table violently, only to make the broth in the pot splash, and laughed: "What a brother in the four seas, happy, since the two of you can afford to be my dog butcher, I will make two friends." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine for each of the three of them, and said, "Come on, come on, drink, this meal is my dog butcher's treat." ”

Gao Yuan, Jing Ke, and Gao Yuanli also raised their wine bowls and drank them all. The dog butcher laughed again: "Come, eat meat, eat meat, if you don't care, there is still on the stove, until you have enough today." ”

Gao Yuan was not polite, he directly tore off a piece of dog meat in the pot with his hands, sandwiched it with a dough cake, put it in his mouth and chewed it, nodded again and again, and said, "Good dog meat, good dog meat." ”

And Jing Ke also learned from the plateau, and he didn't use chopsticks, so he tore the dog meat with his hands and ate it. The dog butcher and Gao gradually separated from each other, and they couldn't stop laughing, stretched out their hands, and also tore the dog meat in the pot to eat. The four men had eight hands, ate meat and drank wine, talked and laughed, and in a short time they ate more than half of a dog, drank a jar of wine, and the soup and wine were dripping on the table.

The four of them ate happily, and the dog butcher brought another pot of dog meat from the stove and two jars of wine.

At this time, another guest came to the door and said, "Dog slaughter, come with a pot of dog meat and a jar of wine." ”

The dog butcher laughed and said, "Eat meat and drink and get it yourself, I don't have time to entertain you, even if you eat and drink today, I won't take any money." I'm in a good mood today, and you're blessed, not only do you have meat to eat, you can drink wine, and you can listen to Mr. Gao build it later. ”
