There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 493 Competition (Part [-])
The dishes are also authentic mountain dishes.

Stir-fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots, stir-fried lettuce, steamed and sliced ​​taro slices, spinach soup, shredded pickled cabbage, salted duck eggs, beef in sauce, and a large pot of braised pork feet.

The wine is self-brewed wine bought in the village.

Yuezhou rice wine is famous all over the world, and almost every household can make wine.

If the craftsmanship is good and the taste is mellow, it will become famous.

For example, Zhuyeqing and Nvnuhong.

Yellow rice wine tastes better when it is warm, and it warms the stomach.

But Li Jiaoniang was afraid of the head, so she only drank half a bowl.

There are so many people today and the atmosphere is good, Li Jiaoniang allowed Zhao Cong to drink half a bowl.

Everyone yelled and drank six, so happy.

Li Jiaoniang wanted to check on Zhuangzi, and called Chunya to leave the banquet, leaving the banquet to the men.

The two of them didn't drink, and they were full early.

Chunya found a lantern to carry, and accompanied Li Jiaoniang to visit Zhuangzi.

After walking for a while, Chun Ya smiled and said, "Sister Jiao Niang, look at this Zhuangzi. We haven't come here for a few days, and the appearance has changed again. The weeds are almost invisible. The road has been swept clean."

Li Jiaoniang also saw it, and she nodded with a smile, "Not bad, it means that Ah Sheng and Hu Laoqi have put their heart and soul into taking care of Zhuangzi."

As the two were walking, they saw two long-term laborers from the village coming from another road carrying things.

They walked in front of Li Jiaoniang and Chunya, politely and respectfully called "Mistress Li, Lady Luo", and continued on their way.

Li Jiaoniang saw that what they were carrying were arrow feathers and targets.

She was curious, it's so late, what are you doing carrying this?
"Where are you taking it?" Li Jiaoniang asked.

One of the older long-term workers said, "Oh, Mr. Ximen wants to use it. He said that he will compete with others in archery later."

Li Jiaoniang blinked, at night, competing with others?

"Who are you competing with?" Chunya also asked curiously.

"I don't know, Mr. Ximen just said, tell us to get ready quickly, he will have a race after dinner." The long-term worker said with a smile, "The place for the race is arranged at the racecourse next to the bamboo forest. Many people Grab a place to watch it."

Chun Ya became interested, and said with a smile, "Sister Jiao Niang, let's go and have a look too."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Okay, it's rare to go out to play. Let's go to occupy a place first, and call Cong'er, Huzi Erbao and the others to come and see later."

"Okay." Chunya said with a smile.

The two followed the two long-term workers to the horse farm next to the bamboo forest.

When we got there, we saw a lot of people.

Some sat on rocks, some elegant ones brought stools, some squatted on a high slope, some in groups of three or five, and chatted together.

Seven or eight big torches and a big brazier illuminate the venue as bright as day.

Someone saw Li Jiaoniang and Chunya coming, and they all said hello, "Miss Li, Miss Luo."

Chunya was very happy, she never thought that in her lifetime, she would be warmly welcomed by people who remembered her name.

"Okay, okay, I'm just like you, I'm here to watch the excitement, by the way, I heard that Mr. Ximen competes with others in archery, who is he competing with?" Li Jiaoniang asked everyone with a smile.

Many people shook their heads, "I don't know."

At this time, someone came up and said loudly, "It's a competition with Young Master Zhao!"

Zhao Cong's true identity is no longer a secret.

However, he didn't have much contact with the Zhuang people, and he didn't have much sense of presence.

Everyone followed the original habit and only called him Mr. Zhao Xiaogong.

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, do you know archery?" Someone asked curiously.

"I don't know, if you dare to fight, you should be able to do it?" Another person said.

"Mr. Ximen's archery skills are nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter whether Mr. Zhao is comparable or not. You can feast your eyes on Mr. Ximen's archery skills." Ximen Fei, a fellow villager from back then, said with a smile .

Chun Ya was surprised and said, "Sister Jiao Niang, it's Xiao Cong'er competing with Mr. Ximen."

Li Jiaoniang hummed, "Looks like we came here by coincidence, call Brother Luo Cheng and the others to watch later."

Chun Ya looked left and right, sighed and said, "Looking at the situation, Mr. Ximen's voice for winning is relatively high. I listened to the voices, and they all said that Mr. Ximen was good, and no one said that Xiao Cong'er was good. Said, Mr. Ximen is very powerful, Xiao Cong'er is afraid that he will lose."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Whoever said that no one said that Xiao Cong'er is powerful, but me, I think that Xiao Cong'er is better than Mr. Ximen."

Chunya smiled wryly, "Sister Jiao Niang, I'm serious, not joking, what's the use of you watching it alone, everyone has to watch it."

"They have never seen Xiao Cong'er's archery skills, so of course they are not cheering. Look, when the competition officially starts, they will all turn against each other." Li Jiaoniang said with her sleeves rolled up, looking forward to it.

Chunya blinked, "Is he really good?"

"Go and see if they have finished eating. If they have finished eating, tell them to come and compete." Li Jiaoniang said, "That Ximen Fei is really serious. He is going to compete with Xiao Cong'er, but he didn't say anything. It's too much to be eating and drinking leisurely there, do you think it's a sure thing?" Li Jiaoniang raised her eyebrows.

Chun Ya shook her head, she might really be sure.

Someone brought a chair and asked Li Jiaoniang to sit down. Chunya took the lantern and ran back to call for someone.

However, before she reached the main hall where the dinner was held, she saw everyone approaching.

Seeing her approaching, Xiang Erbao asked, "Why are you alone? Where's Miss Jiao Niang?"

Chun Ya said, "Miss Jiao Niang went to the field beyond the bamboo forest. She heard that Mr. Ximen was going to compete with Xiao Cong'er in archery. She ran to wait early to watch the excitement. I came to ask everyone to go together."

Xiang Erbao smiled and said, "We are going now."

"That's it, let's go together." Chunya walked to Xiang Erbao and followed everyone.

Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Mr. Ximen, it's just a small competition, why are you still hiding it? Afraid we know you won the competition and blame you?"

Ximen Fei stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and smiled mischievously, "It's not that I want to hide it. No, everyone is eating happily, so they didn't say anything. After talking about it, everyone felt uneasy. After eating, it's not the same of?"

He didn't want to disturb everyone, so it was over after the competition.

He will feel a little embarrassed if he wins against Zhao Cong.

Unexpectedly, a cook was talking too much and let Luo Cheng know.

Before the wine was finished, Luo Cheng urged him to race quickly.

Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if Mister wins the competition, we won't say anything. After all, Mr. Bi is an elder with superb archery skills and rich experience. Winning the competition is nothing more than a normal thing."

"Hahahaha, that's that." Ximen Fei smiled heartily.

He thought in his heart that what Luo Cheng said was to let him win boldly.

If you win, you win. Isn't that a trivial matter?

While talking, the group arrived at the open space beside the bamboo forest.

Dozens of people who came earlier saw Ximen Fei and Luo Cheng arriving, and everyone greeted them loudly, calling Luodong's family and Ximen Fei's.

There are people who are betting on who will win, and they are talking and arguing endlessly.

The noisy sound scared away the sparrows in the forest.

Hu Laoqi yelled in a rough voice, "If you want to watch the game, be quiet, if you don't want to watch, go back to sleep, it's too noisy."

Let's just watch the fun, the nights in winter are too long, and it's uncomfortable to sleep for a long time.

It's rare to have entertainment, so everyone doesn't leave, everyone is obedient and doesn't make noise, just discussing in a low voice.

Luo Cheng and Zhao Cong walked to Li Jiaoniang's side, and someone immediately brought a chair.

"Cong'er, come on!" Li Jiaoniang made an encouraging gesture with her fists clenched.

Zhao Cong smiled slightly, "It's just a small competition, let's make it fun for the family."

Ximen Fei had already walked to the middle of the field, talking loudly about the rules of the match between him and Zhao Cong.

Everyone started talking in low voices again, all talking about how Ximen Fei could win.

Hu Zi, who followed, asked Zhao Cong in a low voice, "Little Cong, you have to work hard, you can't lose."

"Don't worry, I won't lose." Zhao Cong smiled.

He stood up and took off the heavy cloak he was wearing.

Huzi held it for him.

A long-term laborer took a bow and arrow and gave Zhao Cong a test of his skills.

Zhao Cong tried the bowstring and nodded with satisfaction.

Hu Zi said, "Xiao Cong'er, don't you want to pick one? Just this one and it's settled?"

"This one is fine, you don't need to pick it." Zhao Cong looked at the bow and arrow and said.

Some onlookers shook their heads, this is a layman.

Definitely lose.

How can you just take one of the tools for the competition?

The first game is to shoot the coin eye.

Someone had already set up a wooden shelf a hundred steps away, with twenty copper coins hanging on it.

According to the rules of the game, one person who shoots more than ten pieces wins.

On the other side, the quiver is placed.

Zhao Cong and Ximen Fei stood in front of the left and right quiver respectively.

Someone got excited and called Ximen Fei's name again.

Hu Laoqi was so angry that he shouted, "Quiet!"

Of course, he worships Ximen Fei more, but Zhao Cong is the adopted son of his benefactor. Besides, this time Zhao Cong is rich and powerful, and he is giving money to the village and distributing food. He is the real parent of the villagers.

If neither side can offend, then tell everyone to shut up.

After yelling twice, it was quiet again in an instant.

Hu Laoqi recommended himself as the host, walked between the two, cleared his throat, and shouted, "Get ready——, start!"

Two arrows shot out quickly.

Run towards the two copper coins.

Ding-dong-

The two copper coins fell to the ground almost simultaneously.

"Young Master Zhao and Mr. Ximen shoot down at the same time, a draw!"

"Nine times left, don't worry!" Ximen Fei said.

In the crowd, many people began to whisper about Ximen Fei's archery skills again, and some even placed bets on Ximen Fei's victory.

After hearing this, Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng looked at each other without refuting.

The game then begins.

This time, Ximen Fei took three feathered arrows and put them on the bow.

It made everyone cheer even more.

"Look, Mr. Ximen is about to come up with the trick of shooting three arrows at once."

"I think back then, when Mr. Ximen killed the golden soldiers on the gate tower of Jinzhou, he used the archery technique of shooting three arrows at once, killing the golden soldiers howling."

"I'm young, I haven't seen Mr.'s feats back then, but I'm lucky enough to see you today, this life is worth it."

Hu Laoqi wanted to scold everyone to shut up, but he really admired Ximen Fei, after thinking about it, he didn't scold them again.

Zhao Cong picked four arrows in the quiver and put them on the bow.

Most of the people were watching Ximen Fei, but no one noticed him.

Who told him to talk less and not attract attention?
Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng found out and smiled knowingly.

Hu Zi and Hu An also saw it. These two are Zhao Cong's most loyal followers. They immediately exclaimed, "Young master, do you want to shoot four arrows at once?"

The two shouted loudly, causing everyone to look at Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong smiled slightly, "Try it."

Hu Zi was a little worried, and reminded in a low voice, "Little Cong, let's stop being brave, shall we? Shoot as much as you want." If you lose, you will lose face.

Even Ximen Fei couldn't help but look at him and shook his head.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Cong didn't look surprised, and said, "Mr. Ximen still doesn't shoot arrows? I'm going to shoot."

"Okay, get ready—" Ximen Fei sighed.

All right, all right, you're going to lose, right?Then it's up to you to lose.

Really newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!
Fighting Qi is too victorious, even if you don't win, having fighting spirit is also worthy of praise.

When the two got ready, Hu Laoqi shouted loudly, "Start—start—"

Both bows.

Ximen Fei's three arrows, all three arrows shot off the copper coins.

Looking at Zhao Cong's side, the same is true, the four arrows also broke the thread.

Now, no one only looked at Ximen Fei anymore, but all eyes were on Zhao Cong.

All of them looked surprised.

Hu Lao Qi laughed, "Okay, awesome! Mr. Ximen has met his opponent."

Zhao Cong pointed to the front and said, "We each have five copper coins left. Such a slow game, I'm afraid it will take until midnight. Everyone will be busy tomorrow, so let's finish the game early and rest early."

As he spoke, he picked up five feather arrows and put them on the bow.

The onlookers were even more surprised.

Five arrows fired together, unprecedented!

Even Ximen Fei was secretly surprised, this Zhao Cong is a master who hides his secrets?
Shooting three arrows, he was easy to catch, four arrows barely, five arrows, he didn't succeed even once!
This ten-year-old boy with yellow hair, Zhao Cong, can shoot five arrows in a row?

Simon Fei couldn't believe it.
