It was three o'clock in the morning, and the noise downstairs made An Ling wake up from her cultivation, and she got up and hurried downstairs.

"Ling'er!"

"Mother, why did you arrive so quickly?" Seeing Qin Pei, An Ling ran over quickly.

"Mother, I miss you. ”

An Ling hugged Qin Pei's waist, and her whole little face was plunged into her arms.

"Yo yo, what kind of grievance has Xiao Ling'er suffered, and she misses her mother after only a day of not seeing her?"

An Ling shook her head, rubbed her tears on Qin Pei's dress, raised her head and looked at her and said.

"There are no grievances, people have never left their mother!"

Qin Pei had a smile in his eyes, stretched out his hands and hugged An Ling in his arms again, shaking it gently.

Seeing this scene, Lan Yun grinned after his eyes reddened.

"Ling'er, don't be coquettish with your mother, come, see what to do with the fish. ”

"Okay, mother, you take grandpa and them to rest first. ”

An Ling said and followed Lan Yun to the door, on the elk cart, large pieces of animal skins were put together, and there was water inside, and most of the fish were still alive.

"Dad, good job!"

Saying that, she gave Lan Yun a thumbs up, and Lan Yun understood that no matter how much this girl praised herself, she was even more smiling and couldn't see her eyes.

An Ling instructed everyone to take all the live fish to the pool in the backyard, and they ran as fast as they could, and in a short time they were all unloaded.

The remaining fish that were already dead, An Ling taught the assistant chef Jiang Wen how to kill, and after all of them were cleaned up, she and Wu Qi, plus the six people in the back kitchen, were busy in the back kitchen!

"Master, how many spoonfuls of this sugar and how much vinegar do you put in it?"

"You remember today, remember every step I make! Don't ask anything, watch with your heart, I'll make every fish once!"

"Jiang Jie, when you change the knife, you can study more flower knives, look at this fish, is it beautiful to blow up?"

"The most important thing in cooking fish is to remove the fishy, you can remove this fishy line, and also, wine, vinegar, green onions, ginger, pay attention to the heat when you put it in!"

......

The fireworks in the entire back kitchen, and the constant shouts of An Ling, were as lively as the battlefield.

It's already afternoon, and the eight people have been in a hurry from the beginning to the tacit understanding now.

The oily light on An Ling's little face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile upward, making others full of energy.

One after another, fish dishes came out of the back kitchen, and the people of Kapok Village, under the unbelievable eyes of the surroundings, had already eaten and drank, staggering.

An Ling came out of the back kitchen and asked the waiter to take most of the villagers to the guest room before she sat down.

Jiang Yan and the others came over at this time, all looking at An Ling with incredible eyes, Su Ling instigated Yuan Hu, and after a while, Yuan Hu walked to An Ling's side.

"That, I also call you Sister An Ling, I had a bad temper yesterday, I apologize to you!"

"What's the matter, Sister Jiang Yan?"

An Ling stood up in surprise and asked Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan smiled at this time, walked over and said, "It's been yesterday until now, Yuanhu and they haven't freshened up, and I heard the waiter say that the hot water is not enough, and the lady is first." ”

"Oh, blame me for this, blame me for not thinking it through!"

An Ling said busily, turning his head to Yuan Wu, the waiter on the third floor.

"Go, tell the cook, in the future, you must not miss the hot water of the guests, I have to wash the guests if I don't wash them, don't take it as an example!"

Yuan Wu nodded, and ran to the kitchen under An Ling's teachable eyes.

"Sister Jiang Yan, come on, everyone, please take a seat. ”

An Ling beckoned a few people to sit down, and let people serve a sweet and sour fish, a spicy grilled fish.

An Ling waved his hand again, beckoning An Ning, An Guo, Lan Ao and Lan Ying to come over, and the nine of them sat around a large table.

After introducing them one by one, An Ling said: "I'm too busy today, and I am loved by my brothers and sisters, so I'm here to accompany you." ”

With that, she stood up and bowed her head.

"Quick, quick, move the chopsticks, come and taste it!"

An Ling said, picking up the chopsticks.

Senior Brother and Sister Jiang Yan, you signal me, I pushed yours, and looked at the fish on the table with terrifying eyes.

"Senior Brother Yuanhu, you see An Ling is so polite, why don't you move your chopsticks?" Su Ling said.

Yuanhu pushed Jiang Feng again, Jiang Feng looked at him and didn't speak, that Gao Leng Fan pinched to death.

He looked at Jiang Yan again, but Jiang Yan didn't look at him at all.

There was no trick, and finally Yuan Hu picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece of sweet and sour fish, twisted his face and put it in his mouth.

......

"Hmm... Delicious!"

As he spoke, he put another pair of chopsticks in his mouth, and his eyebrows and eyes smiled.

"It's delicious, my God, eat it!"

Yuanhu beckoned his senior brothers and sisters, but the chopsticks in his hand kept stuffing fish meat into his mouth.

Jiang Yan, Su Ling, Jiang Feng, you look at me, I'm looking at Yuan Hu, so I picked up the chopsticks in my hand.

After a while, the dishes made of two fish of more than ten catties were gone.

The four of them looked at An Ling, and the meaning in their eyes was that they hadn't eaten enough!

An Ling asked the kitchen to make steamed fish, and the boiled fish was served.

"Come, four chopsticks, let's eat. ”

An Ning greeted, and then he looked at Jiang Yan and asked, "I heard An Guo say that a few of them are practicing in the Sword Forest Sect, right?"

"Yes. Jiang Yan replied.

"Then I take the liberty of asking, I wonder if the Sword Forest Sect recruits disciples?"

"Zhaozhao, my father is the sect master, is Brother An Ning coming?" Su Ling looked at An Ning with big eyes and said busily.

An Ning flushed the roots of her ears at this time, pursed her lips and smiled.

"I'm sorry, it's my brother Anguo, he likes to practice swords very much, you see that he doesn't leave his sword in his hand, so I help him ask. ”

Jiang Yan and the others immediately looked at An Guo.

An Guo hurriedly stood up, and he glanced at An Ling a little nervously.

"Hello, I'm Lan Anguo, I'm thirteen years old, I like swords...!"

Different from the gentleness and frugality of the eldest brother An Ning, An Guo has a lofty temperament, although he is still relatively restrained, but he feels like a bloody man.

Jiang Yan looked at An Guo and nodded, and then said to An Ning: "I'm older than you, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Sister Jiang Yan!"

"Hello, Sister Jiang Yan. ”

"Sister Jiang Yan. ”

Several juniors of the Lan family who sat down again all shouted politely, and Lan Ao was surprisingly not naughty, sitting like an adult.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's be honest, we are not qualified to make a decision on the enrollment of the sect. ”

Jiang Yan paused here as she spoke, and she looked at An Ling again.

"Sister Ling'er, have you ever heard of the five-year sect admissions?"

"Don't hide it from Sister Jiang Yan, our family has been practicing in seclusion before, and as soon as we entered the WTO, we thought about buying some properties first, and I haven't had time to inquire about what you said. An Ling said.

"Oooh,"

Jiang Yan nodded, and continued: "In the eleven provincial capitals within the territory of my Great Yan Country, monks who have reached the foundation building stage or above are seven to fifteen years old, and they are submitted for registration by their household registration, and then handed over to the sect for enrollment selection. ”

After listening to this, An Ling and the others didn't quite understand.

"Then where are the final selections, and how many sects are there to choose from?" An Ling asked.

"Sister An Ling, you have to go to the town to sign up early, it just so happens that this year is the election year, and the general election will be held in Shucheng in December. ”

"This sect, there are five upper sects, namely Xingyin Pavilion, Xiaoyao Palace, Refining Sect, Fog Hidden Sect and our Sword Forest Sect. ”

"The others are some small and medium-sized sects, and there are about a dozen in total. ”

When Jiang Yan said this, An Ning hurriedly got up and poured tea for her and asked, "Sister Jiang Yan, I don't know what aspects of cultivation these five major sects are all focused on?"

"Thank you. ”

Jiang Yan took a sip of tea and continued.

"As the name suggests, Xingyin Pavilion is a sect that mainly fights with music and rhythm. They are powerful in the support aspect, which can be amplified, rejuvenated, healed, etc. when fighting. I've heard that everyone in the Star Sound Pavilion has good medical skills. ”

"Is it so powerful?" An Lingxuan asked.

Jiang Yan nodded and continued: "It's very against the sky, isn't it? But they are very strict in recruiting disciples, and the number of people in the entire Xingyin Pavilion is not large. ”

"What about the Xiaoyao Palace, the main attack formation, sealing. I don't know much about that. In the case of the refining weapon gate, the cultivation of a single person will not be very high, but all kinds of magic weapons are quite a headache when facing the enemy. ”

"The Fog Hidden Gate is the assassination aspect, and the assassination is unguardable, and it is also a sect that many people are unwilling to provoke. ”

Jiang Yan said this, and Su Ling said busily.

"Finally, it's our Sword Forest Sect, because my ancestor, his weapon is a sword, so he established the Sword Forest Sect, but it's not just about practicing swords, there are also other weapons!"

After hearing these words, everyone was thoughtful.

An Ling also had a further understanding of cultivation.

Everyone ate and drank and talked a lot, until the sun went down, and the four of them got up and went back upstairs to rest.

"What do you think after hearing this?" An Ling asked.

"It's a bit of a direction, but I don't know which sect we can go to. An Ning said.

An Guo stood up at this time and said, "I'm going to the Sword Forest Sect!"

Several people had already guessed that An Guo would choose this way, and they were not surprised.

"Aunt Ying, what about you, where do you want to go?"

"Xingyin Pavilion. ”

Lan Ying didn't seem to hesitate, she didn't speak, and she gave the answer very directly.

An Ling was surprised, she didn't expect Lan Ying, who had always been gentle, to make such a simple decision.

"Guozi, I'll go to the Sword Forest Sect with you!" Lan Ao said.

"I think it's good to have a goal first, and then work hard, and in the end, it's up to each sect to have the final say. An Ning said.

"Young owner!"

At this time, An Fatty's big voice ran out of the back kitchen and called An Ling.

"Ah, what's wrong? I'm here. An Ling said.

Fat Man An seemed to be very angry, and his face was flushed.

"Young owner, can you say that don't let them touch the things in the back kitchen! The meat we prepared and used for tomorrow's opening has been taken away a lot!"

"What?"

An Ling stood up suddenly, thought for a moment and sat down again.

"I know, can you still prepare it now?

"Yes, but it's going to be late!"

"Okay, you have worked hard, tomorrow's opening must not be affected by this matter, I will do it with you in a while. ”

Fat Man nodded after hearing this, and went to the kitchen.

"Ling'er, I just saw Lan Qi and them take something out of the kitchen and go upstairs. Lan Ao said.

An Ling rubbed his forehead and said nothing.

Lan Ying sat beside An Ling.

"Ling'er, don't be angry, I'll go and tell my dad and let him take care of them. ”

"They're all out of slavery, and there are some things that can't be said too much, so we have to find a way. An Ning said.

An Ling raised her head and looked at An Ning.

"I understand that everyone has their own ideas, and you can't ask them to live as you think!"
