Fighter of the Destiny

Chen Changsheng said "order casually". In Tang Sanliu's view, the three words "order casually" mean the same thing whether he is ordering casually or getting along casually. Although he sympathized with the other party, he didn't say anything when ordering. Careful about the food prices, I took the menu and randomly ordered a few of the inn's signature dishes. The first two dishes were the soup made by Fei Que and the steamed two-headed fish... Just as he was lighting it, he caught a glimpse of Chen Changsheng's brows frowning. He thought that the other party didn't have enough money and felt a little distressed. He said to the waiter: "I don't want the two-headed fish." Now, replace it with seabass, and then... replace the flying bird soup with water shield soup."

As expected, Chen Changsheng's brows widened.

Tang Thirty-Six smiled, thinking that he was really observant and considerate, and said casually: "Another bowl of plum blossom-bottomed deer breast dumplings."

Chen Changsheng frowned.

Tang Thirty-Six glanced at him and said, "Change...let's have a bowl of pork with pickles and vegetables."

Chen Changsheng still frowned.

Tang Sanshiliu was a little displeased, thinking about a bowl of fatty pork that he usually wouldn't even bother to eat at home. How could you still be reluctant to pay for it?

He said to the waiter: "Just have a plate of cold folded ear root! And add a plate of red oil Shunfeng!"

Chen Changsheng still looked the same, full of disapproval.

Tang Sanshiliu was really annoyed and said, "Since it's your first time to treat a guest to dinner and you don't understand the ways of the world, I won't say anything to you."

Chen Changsheng was slightly startled and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Tang Sanshiliu shouted: "Even if you don't have enough money, you can't show this kind of expression in front of the guests. It's really annoying! Since you are a man, your head can be cut off, blood can be shed, and your face can't be lost! Even if it's later If you go and pawn your fur cloak, what does it mean?"

He thought that this was a very reasonable truth, and it felt good to educate his companions, but Chen Changsheng felt a little strange when he heard it, and asked: "Is this just trying to make someone look fat?"

Tang Sanshiliu was slightly annoyed and said, "What kind of words are these?"

"This is a common saying in Xining." Chen Changsheng explained seriously.

Tang Sanshiliu was stunned, thinking, is this what he is asking? Just as he was about to get angry, he heard Chen Changsheng's next words.

"...and I don't have a fur cloak either."

The room became a little quiet.

Tang Sanliu forgot about the angry incident and felt that this matter was indeed very distressing. This guy was very pitiful.

He had only seen the down-and-out elders and senior brothers in the family sect frequently exchanging furs and dragon ropes for wine and food, but no one told him that if someone was so poor that he didn't even have these, how could he not lose it? Treating guests to dinner with dignity, but as for himself... first of all, he is never short of money, and secondly, he has never invited anyone to dinner.

He looked at Chen Changsheng and said seriously: "I'll treat you to this meal."

Chen Changsheng was slightly surprised and asked, "Why?"

Tang Sanliu looked at him with a gentle expression and said, "You don't have a fur cloak, and you definitely don't have anything valuable nearby. How can I let you invite me?"

Chen Changsheng was a little innocent and said, "But... I have money."

…

…

Quiet again.

Tang Sanliu looked a little ugly and asked, "Then why did you look so ugly when I was ordering food?"

Chen Changsheng thought about the previous scene and understood something. He was a little embarrassed and explained: "Because... the Feiqiaohuangjing soup you ordered is called warm and tonic, but it is actually very dry. It is best to take it in autumn and winter." Yes, it’s spring now, and drinking that soup will easily cause a weak fire, which is not good for your health.”

Tang Sanshiliu didn't expect that this guy was thinking about this issue at all, and asked, "Are the other dishes also good? Those are all signature dishes."

"Two-headed fish is a deep-sea fish. It feeds on fish, shrimps, and sea snakes. There are too many toxins accumulated in the body. It is fine if it is boiled. It is still edible after removing the soup, but eating it steamed is not good for the body. And there are only two of us. , Eating too much meat is not good for your health, especially the pork belly with pickled vegetables, which is too fatty, so it’s best not to eat it.”

Chen Changsheng finally added: "The pig ears in Hongyou Shunfeng are good, but the red oil is really bad. And then there is the plate of pig ears. If you eat too much, it will astringent the intestines and upset the mind, and it is also bad for the body..."

"stop!"

Tang Sanshiliu couldn't listen anymore - Chen Changsheng's words were like flies, spinning around in his ears, making him very uncomfortable. No matter who you are, you will not be happy to hear so many "bad for your health" after happily ordering the food - of course not everything in the food can be healthy, but who would pay attention to these details when eating? And you pay attention to it so strictly? It would be fine if Chen Changsheng was an old man who paid attention to health, but he is obviously just a fourteen-year-old boy...

"So what if it's not good for your health? Will you die if you eat it?"

Chen Changsheng said seriously: "I won't die on the spot, but I will definitely die early."

Tang Sanshiliu had nothing to say and asked curiously: "Then what do you usually eat?"

Chen Changsheng responded: "Two ounces of meat, cattle and sheep are best, two pounds of vegetables, wild vegetables are best, sweet potatoes and other grains are optional, and a stream fish every two days, preferably with scales. Don't drink the soup."

Tang Sanshiliu asked: "How long have you been eating like this?"

Chen Changsheng said: "I have been eating like this since I can remember."

This time it was Tang Sanliu's turn to frown.

He felt that these dishes didn't taste good just by hearing them. If he really had to eat them for fourteen years, what kind of desolate world would that be?

He found himself sympathizing with the guy more and more.

…

…

During the meal, both of them were silent. Tang Sanliu felt that the food was too ordinary, while Chen Changsheng felt that the food was too unhealthy. In short, each had their own dissatisfaction. Of course, this matter cannot be reconciled at all. Just like bean curd and rice dumplings, food taste and health pursuit have always been the areas where human beings' three views collide most intensely.

The first banquet in Chen Changsheng's life ended hastily. Two bowls of fragrant tea were poured out. The two casually chatted a few words about the examination situation of Tiandao Academy. Tang Sansliu asked him about his experience in Star Reaching and the other two academies. He expressed his confusion and doubts about the fact that the Great Zhou Army was also affected by the Divine General's Mansion, and then he had nothing to say.

——Newly made friends usually talk about their childhood stories and growth experiences in the first few chats, seeking some common hobbies, but the stories of the two of them when they were young are really boring to the point of being outrageous. , so it is simply impossible to start from this aspect. In order to avoid the embarrassment of staring at others, Tang Sanliu stood up and walked casually in the room with a tea bowl in hand, walking from the living room to the terrace and back again, thinking that this guy could wait like this outside the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books. If you want to rent such a large apartment, you obviously don't need money. My previous misunderstanding is really ridiculous.

When he walked to the hall and passed the museum shelf, Tang Sanliu's eyes subconsciously fell on the shelf, and he could no longer leave - there was a sword there.

The sword was very small, not much longer than a normal dagger, and very thin. It looked very delicate. The scabbard was an ordinary leather scabbard, and the hilt was also very simple. It exuded an ordinary aura from the inside out. , there was nothing eye-catching, and there was no dust or blood. In short, this sword was extremely ordinary, but it made him want to get close to it.

Tang Thirty-Six stretched out his hand to hold the sword hilt.

Chen Changsheng's hand stopped in front of him, and he grabbed the hilt of the sword first.

Tang Thirty-Six glanced at him.

Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "This is mine."

Tang Sanshiliu was holding the teacup, and hot mist overflowed from the teacup. His handsome face looked even colder in the mist, "So I can't touch it?"

Chen Changsheng noticed that he was a little unhappy and uneasy, but he still insisted: "You should ask me first, I agree, and then you go get it."

Tang Thirty-Six took back his right hand, folded his sleeves and returned to his seat, placing the teacup on the table in front of him.

Chen Changsheng was a little embarrassed, feeling that he seemed to have done something wrong - well, he didn't think he had done anything wrong, but after all, this was the first friend he had ever met, so he felt a little panicked when the other party was displeased. He walked to the table and handed over the dagger in his hand.

Tang Sanliu raised his head and glanced at him, ignoring him.

Chen Changsheng raised his sword closer.

Tang Sanliu refused to take the sword and said: "There is no grandeur in doing things."

Chen Changsheng was helpless, thinking who was not generous? Who is acting like a child? He had no choice but to walk back to the museum shelf, put the sword away, turned around and asked, "You came to see me for something?"

"I only know you in Kyoto. I heard about you, so naturally I came to see you. You're welcome. I'm such a warm and generous person." Tang Sanliu said with an indifferent expression: "Of course, this is based on my comparison. On the basis of admiring you, you have to know that there are very few peers I admire, and you should feel honored."

Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Then...thank you?"

"Is thanking you enough?"

"Didn't I just treat you to a meal?"

Tang Sanliu stood up, looked at him and said, "I have decided to accept you as my younger brother."

Chen Changsheng asked: "What does it mean to be a younger brother?"

Tang Sanliu explained seriously: "You will follow me from now on."

Chen Changsheng explained seriously: "No, I still have a lot of things to do, so I can't give you the time."

Tang Sanliu was a very arrogant young man. He felt sorry for Chen Changsheng's lack of talent, so he visited the inn like this. Since the other party didn't accept it, he naturally didn't say anything more, but was a little confused: "What's going on? Continue to take the exam? Why are you so determined?" Do you want to enter some colleges? Why do you insist?"

Chen Changsheng asked: "What about you? What is your purpose of coming to Kyoto?"

"I want to take part in the imperial examination, and I want to get first place." Tang Sanliu said with a proud expression.

Suddenly, he thought of the young phoenix currently at the Saintess Peak in the South. If she came back early...

"I want to get second place in the university entrance examination."

He corrected, suddenly thinking of Mr. Qiu Shan, if that person takes part in this imperial examination...

"Okay, my goal is to be third in the imperial examination."

Tang Thirty-Six finally confirmed: "But in short, I want to carve my name on the stone tablet in front of the Tomb of Heavenly Books..."

"Sure enough, he has great ambitions, I admire him."

Chen Changsheng looked at him and admired him, then suddenly thought of another thing and asked: "Then won't you want to change your name to Tang San?"

Tang Sanshiliu was speechless and turned to ask: "What about you? What is your goal in coming to Kyoto?"

Chen Changsheng said honestly: "I also want to take part in the imperial examination."

Tang Thirty-Six didn't expect it, but he wasn't too surprised.

Chen Changsheng said: "I never thought about finishing second or third."

Tang Thirty-Six advised: "People must be self-aware, but they must not lose confidence. Don't forget, as long as you can enter the top three in the imperial examination, you can enter the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven..."

At this point, his voice suddenly stopped because Chen Changsheng spoke again.

"I want to take first place."

Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "I can't take second or third place, I can only take first place."

All was quiet.

Tang Sanliu suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.

He found himself often in a position where he had nothing to say today.

Because what this guy does and says often makes people speechless and just want to vomit blood.

Since the release of Zetian Ji, I can finally sit at home and quietly spend a whole day writing a book. It feels so good. I also feel very good writing this chapter. I will write the second chapter after dinner. Please everyone. Thank you for your encouragement. Please vote for your recommendation. During the new book period, it is really important. Thank you all.
