In the twelfth episode of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", Guo Jing and Huang Rong were hungry on their way south, and stole a fat rooster from the farm yard by the river and made it into a fragrant roast chicken. When they were about to start working, Hong Qigong appeared.
The book reads:
Huang Rong was about to tear the chicken apart when someone behind him suddenly said, "Tear it into three parts, give me the chicken ass." Both of them were taken aback, how someone behind them covered up, but they were unconscious, and they hurried back to see that it was a middle-aged beggar who was talking. This man had a rectangular face, slight whiskers under his chin, gray hair, thick hands and feet, his clothes were covered with nails in the east and west, but he was washed clean, holding a green bamboo stick in his hand, as green as jade, carrying a large gourd with vermilion paint on his back, and his face looked like a hungry person, and he looked anxious, as if if he did not give him the chicken ass, he would reach out and grab it.
Beiqi Hong Qigong is one of the "Five Absolutes" and the first "Five Absolutes" to appear in "The Legend of the Archery Hero". His unique martial arts are "fighting dog stick method" and "descending dragon eighteen palms", martial arts have reached the pinnacle, justice, peace and kindness, wit, with all the advantages that decent people should have, the only drawback is gluttony, once because of gluttony, cut off the index finger of the right hand, only 9 fingers remained, so it was called "nine-fingered god beggar".
Others are delicious, nothing more than covetousness; Hong Qigong is a martial arts master, and the pattern will not be so small. He took advantage of every opportunity to taste the world's delicacies, and even ventured into the palace after being seriously injured, just to eat a Mandarin Duck Five Treasures. So, why does Hong Qigong, who eats delicious dishes all over the world, prefer to eat the chicken butt in Huang Rong's hand?
First of all, it's because chicken butt is indeed a rare specialty.
On the table of Chinese, chicken is a more common and delicious ingredient, known as "no chicken no feast". Chicken neck, chicken legs, chicken wings, etc. are all made into special foods by Chinese who are good at cooking, and it can be said that the whole body of the chicken is a treasure. Chicken butts are no exception.
Chicken buttocks are folk names, officially called "chicken buttocks tip". In the folk, the chicken hip tip has also been made into a series of special foods, such as fried chicken hip tip, braised chicken hip tip, etc., so that many gourmets can not forget, so that it is rumored that "Ning She Jinshan, do not give up the chicken tip" saying.
Due to professional reasons, Hong Qigong has been walking at the bottom of the rivers and lakes for a long time, and naturally will not miss this special cuisine belonging to the civilian class.
Secondly, Jin Yong realizes the shining debut of Hong Qigong through the plot of "eating chicken ass".
Novelists, including Jin Yong, know the writing technique of "wanting to promote first suppressing". When they introduce the appearance of big people, they will use this writing technique to make the reader's eyes shine - it turns out that such an ordinary character is actually a big person?
When Hong Qigong first appeared, he did not say that he wanted to eat chicken legs, did not say that he wanted to eat chicken wings, but he was "salivating" on the chicken butt, and "the monkey was anxious", which did not conform to everyone's imagination of Beiqi; because of this, when the mystery was revealed, everyone would leave a deeper impression on Beiqigong Hong.
In fact, in many of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, the big characters have very ordinary costumes. For example, Zhang Sanfeng. In the Book of the Slaughter of the Dragon in the Heavens, Jin Yong wrote: "When the two monks heard Zhang Sanfeng's name, they were taken aback and stared at him, but they saw that he was tall and unusual, his hair was as silver as silver, his face was rosy and smooth, and his smile was very amiable, but a green sermon robe was filthy." ”
Third, Jin Yong made the image of Hong Qigong more full through the plot of "eating chicken ass".
As mentioned earlier, Hong Qigong has the advantages that all decent people should have. Such characters are not easy to write, because if they are not careful, they will become "tall and complete", false and pretentious, and their faces are hateful.
Among the writers of the new school of martial arts novels, Liang Yusheng and Jin Yong are juxtaposed, but in the martial arts novels he writes, those big characters are very facial, and the leaders of the famous and upright schools must be highly respected; the high-ranking hermits who live in the mountains and forests must not be smiling. Jin Yong is much better, and when he creates human figures, he tries his best to avoid the face of big people. When he wrote about Hong Qigong, he tried to do the opposite, pioneering the description of a martial ancestor who was not amiable and acted in a neat manner.
With the plot of "eating chicken butt", the image of Hong Qigong becomes fuller and more lifelike, and the majority of readers will feel more intimate, right?
In "Heroes of the Condor", Hong Qigong eats centipede meat at the top of Mount Hua, which is also a very unique plot that makes it easy to remember.
Then again, although the tip of the chicken rump is a special dish, from a health point of view, this dish is best not to eat. Therefore, this part is the place where the lymph is most concentrated on the chicken, and it is a "warehouse" for storing bacteria, viruses and some carcinogens, if it is consumed for a long time, it will cause diseases of the gastrointestinal tract or liver, which is too much to lose.
