Chapter 19 The First Day of Opening

This day is a very important day for the whole Dazhufeng. Although everyone is busy, they are also in order.

"Xiaofan, come and see how much water is appropriate to add?"

"Brother Li Xiu, come and see if there are enough charcoal fires?"

"Xiaofan, Xiaofan, do you think we need to prepare some spare pots?"

"Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, Lin Jingyu is here."

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard Lin Jingyu's name.

"What did you say?!"

Zhang Xiaofan thought he heard it wrong, and asked back.

"I said, that good friend of yours, Lin Jingyu from Longshou Peak came to our Dazhu Peak, and said he wanted to find you, and is now in the main hall...waiting...you...you... Hey, I'm not finished yet."

Hearing that senior brother Du Bishu hadn't finished speaking, Zhang Xiaofan ran out like the wind.

"Jing Yu, Jing Yu, where are you, Jing Yu?"

Zhang Xiaofan ran into the main hall and looked around for Lin Jingyu.

"Xiaofan, Xiaofan, I'm here."

At the entrance of the main hall, a young man in white clothed himself with a sword and black hair gathered together, with a handsome face.

Lin Jingyu who saw Zhang Xiaofan also ran over immediately, the two of them faced each other, and hugged each other without saying a word.

"We haven't seen each other for a long, long time since we said goodbye that day in the main hall of Qingyun Gate. You miss me so much. How are you doing? Have you ever been wronged?"

Zhang Xiaofan asked while hugging Lin Jingyu.

After the two calmed down a bit, Lin Jingyu took a step back so that he could see Zhang Xiaofan clearly from head to toe.

"You're still talking about me, aren't you? There hasn't been any news for a long time after the farewell. I'm fine in Longshou Peak. My masters and brothers have treated me very well. What about you? How are you doing here?"

"I'm doing very well. Although the master is strict with me, he always feels distressed in his heart. I have learned a lot of delicious cooking, and I will show you my skills in a while."

"Cooking? Do you mean cooking?"

"Yes. I'm here to help the big guys make all kinds of delicious food, and they all like it very much."

Zhang Xiaofan said with a proud face.

Lin Jingyu's expression changed slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Zhang Xiaofan with worry and said:

"We worshiped under Qing Yun's sect together, and we all came to learn the immortal arts. They didn't teach you the immortal arts and martial arts, but asked you to cook. It's too much."

Lin Jingyu thought that his friend was not treated equally in this Big Bamboo Peak, and he was out of breath.

"No, no, no, Jingyu, you misunderstood. Master and the others taught me immortal arts and martial arts. I'm stupid and can't learn it. I can't learn it well. I can help everyone cook because of my own will." No one is forcing me to do things, and this way I can feel more at ease."

Zhang Xiaofan comforted him.

"I don't care, we are here to cultivate immortals, and we still hope that one day we can avenge Caomiao Village if we succeed in cultivating immortals. Now you are only cooking here, I really can't figure it out, and I can't get angry."

"It's so shocking, don't be angry, it's really not what you think, it's my own problem, it's okay, don't be angry, right, did you come to Dazhufeng to find me?"

Having said that, both of them came back to their senses and remembered the business.

"Oh, I almost forgot the business. It was my master Cangsong Taoist who asked me to come to Master Tian and send a letter of worship. I shouldn't have come, but I thought I could come to Dazhufeng to see you, so I I took the initiative to ask for this trip."

"Blessings? What greetings?"

"Of course it's Qimai Huiwu. Why, haven't you all heard of it?"

Lin Jingyu thought that the prosperity of Qingyunmen should be known to everyone, but seeing Xiaofan's bewildered face, he also became bewildered.

"Oh, you are talking about the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition. Of course we know that. We are also stepping up our practice here and haven't missed a single day."

"This is the best way. Our new disciples have been practicing for so long, just to be able to show well in front of all the brothers and uncles on this day. Xiaofan, you must work hard. No matter how bad it is, we must work hard. Win glory for your own teacher."

Zhang Xiaofan looked at Lin Jingyu confidently speaking these inspiring words, he himself only felt inexplicably guilty, but guilt was a guilty conscience, seeing his friend so confident, he was really happy for his friend in his heart, he knew , Jing Yu is a very hardworking person. He has been like this since he was a child. His academic performance is the best in his village, so it is no problem to practice martial arts and immortality.

"By the way, Xiaofan, where's your master? I still have to give him the greeting card."

"Oh, my master and mistress, they...they..."

Zhang Xiaofan was embarrassed to say that Tian Buyi and Suru were working out something called a price list, and after finishing it, they were still waiting to earn your money, so he scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to say.

"Oh... Jingyu is here."

Suru walked out first and saw Lin Jingyu. The boy he hadn't seen for more than a year turned out to be so handsome, and she almost didn't recognize him.

"Are you here to find Xiaofan?"

Lin Jingyu cupped his fists, bent at 50 degrees, and respectfully asked for peace.

"Hello Madam Head, Jing Yu has disturbed me by rushing here. I hope Madam will forgive me. It's because my master asked me to send me the greeting card of Qimai Wuwu. I could see Xiaofan, so I went to visit, but I don’t know where the head of Tian is, so my teacher said this post must be handed over to his old man.”

"Oh?! So that's it. Just wait a minute. He's in the inner courtyard. I'll call him."

After hearing this, Suru turned around and went in, but it was not easy to find Tian.

It was only at this time that Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan calmed down from the excitement of seeing each other just now.

Suddenly Lin Jingyu asked about a strange smell, like the smell of food, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"It smells so good, Xiaofan, what are you doing at Dazhufeng? Why is it so fragrant? It makes people want to swallow their mouths after smelling it."

"Haha, Jingyu, you have a really good nose. I'm telling you quietly that we are researching a new food called hot pot. When we make it, my master said that everyone should come and try it. Today I’m just making the final preparations, maybe I can invite your master to come over and eat together in the afternoon.”

Zhang Xiaofan said with a proud and mysterious look.

"what?"

Lin Jingyu almost dropped his jaw in shock, the dignified Qingyun sect has lower peaks, no matter how bad his martial arts popularity is, he wouldn't start turning into a restaurant.

"You guys, this... this is... unheard of."

Originally, Lin Jingyu wanted to say, "It's too outrageous."

But after all, Zhang Xiaofan was also his best friend, so how could he bear to say such serious words to him.So I could only suppress my anger.

"Oh, Jing Yu, don't worry, I know this is a bit unimaginable for you, and it is the same for us. When we first had this idea, we were also shocked, but when we met a Strange man, this person taught us how to cook and eat. After we tasted it, we felt that it was definitely a delicious food that you have never eaten in your life, so we decided to make it and share it with you... ······Of course······You know that our Dazhu Peak has never been as rich as other peaks, so you can earn some money by the way."

In the end, the voice of earning money was so low that Zhang Xiaofan could barely hear it. His good friend had such high attainments in cultivating immortals, and he himself was still thinking about earning money. For a cultivator , It seems a bit unscrupulous no matter what.

"Lin Jingyu. Your master asked you to find me?"

Just when Lin Jingyu was about to say something, Tian Buyi came out from the inner hall, holding a notebook in one hand and a brush in the other.

"Disciple, Lin Jingyu, pay homage to Head Tian."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Vegetables, how about twenty cents a piece? Junior Sister."

While Tian Buyi asked Lin Jingyu to excuse him, he was still calculating with Suru on how to set the price and the cost of income and expenditure.

"Master Tian, ​​what are you doing?"

Lin Jingyu couldn't help asking curiously.

"Oh, hey, I made you laugh. I am busy with our business in Dazhu Peak, hahahahaha."

"cause?"

Lin Jingyu had never heard of this word.

"Oh oh oh... business means the business activities that people are engaged in, with a certain goal, scale and system, and have an impact on social development. Oh, it's very complicated anyway. I also heard what Li Xiu told me. "

Lin Jingyu couldn't understand what Tian Buyi was talking about at all, he just felt what was wrong with everyone in Dazhufeng right now, it felt like they were all busy, but it wasn't about martial arts and immortality, but everyone's face was filled with Smile, content and fulfilled.

After coming back to his senses, Lin Jingyu still maintained the poise that a disciple of cultivating immortals should have, and said respectfully:

"Master Tian, ​​when I came here, my teacher asked me to send you the invitation letter for the Qimai Martial Arts Competition, and asked you to write a list of people who will participate in this year's martial arts competition on it, so that I can take it back and teach it to the master. "

"Oh, by the way, I have to submit the list of entries every year. Look at my memory. I've been busy with hot pot restaurants recently, so I forgot about it."

"Wait for me a moment, I'll go check it out and ask those unlearned disciples if any of them voluntarily signed up."

After saying that, Tian Buyi immediately walked to the backyard.

Lin Jingyu was left speechless in shock. From each peak, who would choose their most powerful disciples to compete? Who wouldn't be divided into groups first and compete internally to decide one, two, and three, and then start from one, two? Only No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 will be selected in the Sanli Selection to have the opportunity to participate in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition. In the end, those who can go will be the elite among the elites of each family. How come this Dazhu Peak has such an attitude.

Is it really as everyone said in the rumors?Tian Buyi only cared about his own cultivation, and completely ignored his disciples.

"Jing Yu, Jing Yu? What are you thinking? So preoccupied?"

"Xiaofan, have you always been like this in Dazhufeng? What about the tense atmosphere, aren’t you afraid of being embarrassed in front of everyone?”

"Xiaofan, no, I don't allow you to stay in such a place anymore. This kind of place will not help your cultivation at all. I want to go back and tell Master Ming to accept you too. You can go to Longhua with me." Shoufeng studies hard."

As he said that, Lin Jingyu acted like he didn't want to delay for a moment, and wanted to go outside.Zhang Xiaofan stopped him in time.

"Eh...heh...heh...I said Jingyu, don't get excited, come back, come back quickly, listen to what I tell you."

"I'm fine here, really, I know everyone has some rumors about our master, saying that he can only practice by himself but can't teach his apprentices. In fact, it's all nonsense. The master hated us at that time. I’m so anxious, some time ago, because our immortal arts and martial arts were not as good as other disciples, those who blamed themselves fell ill.”

"We really have nothing to do with the master. It's not that the master didn't urge us to study, but we are lazy by nature. Take me as an example. You let me stay up all night to study what to eat the next day. I am more energetic than anyone else, but you let me eat and drink enough, and I don’t have to cook for a day to practice, and I fell asleep on the spot in less than half a day, it’s a matter of hobby.”

"Master treats us like this just because he wants us to develop according to our own preferences and doesn't want to force us to do things we don't like."

"Master himself is a warm and hospitable person, but over the years he has been exposed to the Qingyun Sect's martial arts competitions and fights, which have made him cold on the outside and hot on the inside. His fellow brothers don't understand his character, and they always think he has become weird. In fact, Master He doesn’t want fellow disciples to compare with each other at all, as he thinks this hurts friendship and harmony.”

Zhang Xiaofan patiently explained the ins and outs of all this to Lin Jingyu.

"So it's like this. To be honest, I don't like these competitions either, but how can we know who is the best without competition, and how can we force us to learn and improve if we don't compete? Hey."

"That's why Master is anxious to open this hot pot restaurant. He wants to invite everyone to have a good gathering before the competition to promote a spirit of friendship first and competition second. Even if we lose by then, everyone will have a good gathering because of these The exchange of food, drinks and favors does not make us look too bad or say excessive things. This is great, it does not hurt our face and is kind."

"Then... alright... I'll tell my master what's going on here, and see if the old man has time to come over and drop by."

Lin Jingyu finally understood Master Tian's good intentions. Although he still had some doubts, he still admired Master Tian's mind from the essence.It is not easy to keep fame and fortune out of the matter at this time.

"Jing Yu, since you're here today, I'll introduce you to a person, that person taught us how to support ourselves, how to let go of fame, he is a strange person."

After speaking, Zhang Xiaofan dragged Lin Jingyu to the backyard.

"Brother Li Xiu, brother Li Xiu, where are you?"

"Here, Xiaofan, I'm here."

Li Xiu was still in the kitchen watching the fire.

"Brother Li Xiu, I want to introduce you to my best friend, that is him, Lin Jingyu, you met him before, do you still remember?"

Zhang Xiaofan excitedly introduced to Li Xiu the handsome young man in front of him who was about his size but totally different from his style.

"Oh?! It's you, I remembered, you're the boy from Caomiao Village, the boy who survived with Xiaofan, what's your name?"

"Brother, hello, Xia Lin Jingyu, is the child who had a chance with you that day."

Jing Yu is this handsome, always personable.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at Jing Yu's profile, admiring himself, thinking.

"Lin Jingyu, yes, it's called Lin Jingyu, haha, long time no see, you've grown up so much, you've grown into a handsome guy, since you're here, you can just have dinner with us today. The two of you A child can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, to be under Qingyun's sect, hey."

"By the way, Brother Li, I heard from Xiaofan that you taught them to cook a very special food, isn't that right? I just smelled the aroma that made people drool when I smelled it outside. I'm curious, what are you doing? What are you eating?"

"Haha, I said you guys are blessed to have brother Xiaofan. I'm teaching them how to make hot pot. After they learn it, you can come and eat it often. I'll keep you thinking about the next meal after one meal." .”

"Hot pot? What is that?"

"What it is, I can't explain it to you right now, so you can have a meal with us later and you will know what it is."

Li Xiu pretended to be mysterious and said.

"Brother Li Xiu, how are our preparations going? Can we open today? All of us can't wait to invite other masters from Fengmai to dinner. You haven't seen the old man like Master, who walks with a diary The ledger is counting in and out."

"It should be almost done. We should be able to invite two or three tables today. Go ahead and ask Master Tian to send a letter to invite guests. Tell him not to make blind calculations. According to the prices here, you can definitely earn ten taels of silver per person without losing anything! "

"Okay, I'll go right away. Jing Yu, you wait for me here, I'll be right back."

"Master, master, brother Li Xiu said that it's time to treat, master, hurry up and treat."

I saw Zhang Xiaofan running out while roaring.

"Xiaofan, slow down, be careful not to fall!"

Tian Linger also came out of the vegetable field when she heard the sound, looked at Zhang Xiaofan who was running, and warned.

"I'm going down to Lin Jingyu, to meet Senior Sister Tian."

"Jing Yu, don't be so polite. Since you are here, you are our friend. Just be casual. You make us feel embarrassed by your visits like this."

"We won't be polite to you either, let's help serve the dishes later, hahahaha."

Tian Linger said playfully.

"Okay, no problem, I will help you serve the food later."

Looking at this group of high-spirited young people, Li Xiu really felt that time is not forgiving. He thought that when he was less than [-] years old, he didn't study hard all day long, and he was mischievous. If time can come back, He will definitely study hard, maybe it will be a different life today, and sometimes he is very grateful for the different experience this unimaginable event brought him.

"Okay, I told the master, he has sent out the secret words of immortality to invite the uncles of the other six veins to come to the banquet, and we will soon know which ones can come."

"Xiaofan, Xiaofan, the master said that several other uncles are coming, let us prepare well so that we can't make mistakes."

After a while, Du Bishu came over and told everyone the news. Everyone was very happy. As long as a few uncles like it, they will definitely publicize it to them, and then they will not be afraid of running out of customers.

"Okay, brothers and sisters, it's time for us to show off our skills. You guys should prepare the table. Make sure that the charcoal fire is enough and not choking. You guys prepare the dishes and make sure they are clean and hygienic. Nun let several uncles eat up their stomachs, Linger, you are responsible for preparing the dipping ingredients, this is very important, if the preparation is not good, this hot pot will not taste so delicious, Xiaofan, Daren, and Jing Yu, a few of us are responsible for the base material processing, and we will ensure that the color, flavor and taste are complete. Come on, everyone!"

After listening to Li Xiu's arrangements, everyone cheered and left in a hurry, doing their own things in an orderly manner.

When you are busy, time always flies very fast. In the blink of an eye, it is already dusk. Suddenly, I heard talking and laughing outside, and it seems that the masters and uncles of Qimai have all arrived.

"Jingyu, can you help us to see if everyone has arrived? If they are all here, take them to a room named Baiweixiang, and we will prepare to serve and start eating hot pot."

"Okay, no problem, brother Li Xiu, I can't wait to eat it. I didn't expect this hot pot to be so interesting. I cook it myself, and the taste is too fragrant. You are too good."

"Brother Li Xiu, the teachers and uncles from Tongtian Peak, Longshou Peak, Fenghui Peak, Chaoyang Peak, Luoxia Peak, and Xiaozhu Peak have all arrived. Everyone is asking what is so fragrant."

"Okay, then brothers and sisters, let's go."

"Great."

First, Xiaofan, Song Daren, Li Xiu and Lin Jingyu went out with two pots full of hot pot ingredients, and put them on the table where the charcoal fire had been placed beforehand, and then a group of people led by Tian Linger Put out the prepared dipping sauces one by one, and then there are all kinds of dishes prepared by Du Bishu. There are more than 20 dishes on each table, and they are placed around the table.

"What kind of meal is this, Lao Tian, ​​are you kidding us? We agreed to invite you to dinner, but do you still want us to eat raw food?" Daoxuan said.

The other leaders of Fengmai were also confused.

"Hey, I'm talking about you old-timer. This is called hot pot. This is the way to eat it. You don't know how to cook it yourself. Really, look, let me show you."

Speaking of Tian Buyi got up, took an empty bowl, walked to the dipping area, and began to mix the dipping sauce by himself, and the rest of the people carefully observed his movements.

"Masters, I would like to trouble you to make your own dipping dishes according to your own tastes. This is sesame oil, this is coriander, and this is chopped green onion..."

I saw that these usually high-ranking sect leaders were also patient, with a mentality of "see what tricks you guys can play", and they all went one by one to imitate Tian Buyi's movements and mix them with dipping sauce.

"Wan Jianyi, don't put so many peppers, be careful that it will make you jump in a while."

"I want you to take care of it, take care of the things in your own bowl."

"What are these things, can these things be eaten alone?"

"How is it possible? After cooking the dishes in the pot later, just put them in this bowl of mine."

Tian Buyi explained.

"Okay, look at you guys, how cute and down-to-earth you are."

"On weekdays, one shelf is bigger than the other. Think about when we were young, didn't we all go down to the river to take a bath shirtless together."

"The older I get, the more rusty I am. It's not good. I spend the whole day playing games. Winning games hurts my feelings."

Tian Buyi joked and said with emotion.

"You also said that you, Dazhufeng, have never been at the bottom. We are all busy preparing for the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition, and you still called us out for dinner. If you didn't think that you, an iron cock, would rarely treat you, I’m too lazy to come.”

"Hey, let me tell you first, my meal today is not a treat. I'll be honest. If it's not good, you won't be charged. But if it's delicious, hey, ten taels of silver per person."

Tian Buyi said while laughing.

"Hey, I think your routine is a bit too deep, so let me start by saying, if it doesn't taste good, it just doesn't taste good."

"You old rascal, you are a big family, you are still short of this little money, look at me, I have always been tight, you have the heart?!"

"Okay... okay... Cangsong, you two still like to argue at this age, aren't you hungry, this thing smells so good, I want to taste how it tastes first. "

Everyone watched as Daoxuan was the first to pick up a piece of meat and put it into the pot to cook for about half a minute.

"Okay, okay, Daoxuan, it won't taste good if you cook it any longer."

Everyone stared at Daoxuan as he dipped the first piece of meat into the dipping plate and put it in his mouth.Chewed.

Everyone held their breath and waited for Daoxuan's feedback...

"Tian Buyi, you...you... how do you make it so delicious? It's too delicious, don't say ten taels of silver, I'll give you 20 taels, delicious, delicious. Big guys, don’t be stunned, if you don’t believe me, try it yourself, it’s really delicious.”

After speaking, everyone at the table began to pick up their favorite dishes and put them into the pot to cook, while the juniors who were watching from the side suddenly cheered and jumped for joy, finally their hard work was not in vain.

"Okay, okay, you have worked hard. Come sit down and eat. Didn't you also prepare a table for yourself? Eat quickly."

Seeing a group of children as happy as if they had won a martial arts competition, Suru couldn't help laughing, and reminded them to eat quickly and not be hungry.

Among them, Lin Jingyu is most looking forward to it, because he has never had hot pot before. He wanted to try it secretly several times when he was preparing with Xiaofan and the others. Now he can finally eat delicious hot pot, and he is very happy. Xiaofan helped him prepare a dipping sauce and cooked the food. The two friends who had been separated for nearly a year were still so kind and familiar when they met again. It was great.

Seeing that this new career is already half successful, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel happy...

Finally, he can leave something in this world. If this business is successful, won't he be able to achieve many things that he can't achieve in the modern world here one by one?

With the help of this lovely group of young people, he feels hope lies ahead.
