Chapter 110 Secret Recipe
As time went by, Li Guoqiang's experience in butchering cattle continued to increase, and his knife skills became more and more proficient at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Xu Guangshou saw this situation, he couldn't help but reveal a very surprised smile on his face.

Now, he can finally give an explanation to his master.

At this moment, the onlookers were amazed to see that Li Guoqiang had learned Xu Guangshou's knife skills so quickly.

Especially those people in the village who had learned knife skills from Xu Guangshou, a look of admiration appeared on their faces.

Not long after, under the gaze of everyone, Li Guoqiang separated the flesh and bones of the big black bear piece by piece, and took out the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys and other internal organs one by one, and put them into baskets according to categories. Then he returned the knife to Xu Guangshou and quietly stepped aside to pack up his own bear gall, bear heart, bear paws and bear skin.

At the same time, his skill of butchering an ox had also successfully broken through a level and reached L5 (11/100). All he had to do was work hard for a while and he should be able to reach the level of mastery.

Xu Guangshou was once again shocked by the speed at which Li Guoqiang's swordsmanship improved. He quickly resisted the urge to ask Li Guoqiang to become his disciple on the spot, and handed the dissected black bear to Xu Guangfu and Xu Guanglu to arrange.

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu and Xu Guanglu immediately came to their senses from their surprise and hurriedly arranged for people to start weighing and dividing the meat.

In the end, everyone in the village could get five taels of meat, four taels of bones and one tael of internal organs, and then they would be distributed according to the number of people in each household.

In this way, even families with a smaller population can get one or two kilograms of meat, which is enough to add a meat dish to the family on New Year's Eve.

Soon, everyone was carrying the meat with happy faces, ready to go home.

Xu Guangshou also pulled Li Guoqiang back to his home in a hurry. As soon as he got on the kang, he couldn't wait to tell Li Guoqiang the origin of the knife technique of butchering an ox. He also took out a long knife with a cold glow from the kang cabinet and placed it in front of Li Guoqiang.

Then, before Li Guoqiang could recover from the news that the butchering of an ox was a killing skill, he hurriedly said, "Qiangzi, to be honest with you, my biggest wish in this life is to find someone to pass on this knife skill to."

"But, I have been searching for more than 20 years and have accepted more than a dozen apprentices, but basically none of them have been able to learn the essence of this sword technique. It was not until I saw you today that I saw the hope of inheriting this sword technique in you."

"You, are you willing to take me as your master?"

After saying that, he stared at Li Guoqiang nervously, fearing that he would be rejected.

Li Guoqiang looked at the deep expectation in Xu Guangshou's eyes, pondered for a moment, then slowly got up from the kang, walked to Xu Guangshou, and wanted to perform the ceremony of acknowledging his apprenticeship.

"Need not!"

Seeing this, Xu Guangshou was delighted, and then he quickly reached out and grabbed Li Guoqiang, and said with a happy face: "You don't have to be like this, you don't have to pay attention to these empty words, if you want, just call me Master!"

"Master!"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then hurriedly shouted.

"Hey!"

Xu Guangshou nodded and agreed, then picked up the long sword and handed it to Li Guoqiang. He said in a deep voice, "My good disciple, this sword was passed down to me by your master. Now I pass it down to you. I hope you can carry forward our swordsmanship and pass it on."

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely pass on this sword technique to my descendants in the future!"

Li Guoqiang reached out to take the long knife, and then promised seriously. "Okay!"

Hearing this, Xu Guangshou could not help but shout out "good" immediately, then laughed and said, "In two days, I will take you to meet your fellow brothers and watch them slaughter the New Year pigs. By the way, I can also let you practice your sword skills."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that I have something else to pass on to you!"

At this point, he hurriedly opened the kang cabinet and took out a yellowed book and handed it to Li Guoqiang, then explained: "This is the cooking secret book that your master passed down to me when he taught me the butchering technique. It records some cooking tips and some secret recipes."

"If you are interested, try to learn it yourself. If you are not interested, then find a few apprentices later and pass it on along with the sword technique."

"Okay! Then I'll take it back and take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded hurriedly and agreed.

After saying that, he casually flipped open the cooking secret book, looked at the dozens or hundreds of secret recipes, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

With this book of cooking secrets, he will be able to improve his cooking skills easily. He can even start a catering brand with those secret recipes when the reform and opening up comes.

Afterwards, Xu Guangshou didn't say anything else, but just asked Li Guoqiang to practice swordsmanship seriously in the future and strive to reach the level of learning killing skills from him as soon as possible. Then he waved his hand and asked Li Guoqiang to take the things and go back first.

As soon as Li Guoqiang returned home, Qu Yinfeng came up to him nervously, checked him carefully, and then scolded him in a nasty tone: "What a fool you are! You almost scared me to death. Do you think you can just beat up this blind bear? If you are not careful, your head will be moved!"

"hey-hey!"

Li Guoqiang laughed awkwardly, then quickly explained: "Isn't this just in time?"

"okay!"

Qu Yinfeng was slightly relieved to see that Li Guoqiang was fine, then waved her hand unhappily and said, "Forget it this time, but next time you have to promise me not to be so reckless!"

"If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain it to your parents?"

"Don't worry!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang quickly spoke up and promised: "I will pay more attention to safety next time!"

"Ok!"

When Qu Yinfeng heard Li Guoqiang's evasive answer, she nodded helplessly and agreed. Without saying anything else, she hurriedly reached out to take the bear skin, bear gall, bear heart, bear paws, bear meat and other things from Li Guoqiang's hand and took them into the house to process them.

Among them, bear bile, in particular, must be washed with warm water first, and the grease attached to the outside of the gallbladder must be carefully peeled off, then flattened with a wooden board, and hung in a ventilated place to dry and preserve.

Otherwise, if it starts to become rancid, all the efforts will be in vain.

While Qu Yinfeng was busy, Li Guoqiang was not idle either. He first took the long knife and the cooking secrets into the inner room and put them away, then went to Xu Guanglu's house to return the long-barreled gunpowder gun and discuss the purchase of a submachine gun with Xu Guanglu.
