In the evening, the boat stopped at a small pier.

There is an ancient town next to the pier, which is not very famous compared to those that have already been developed, and it has only just been developed in recent years, and because of this, it still retains a bit of a quaint atmosphere and is not covered by a strong commercial taste.

There were already people waiting there on the dock, recruited by Lu Yuling, nominally a relative of one of her comrades-in-arms.

"Let's eat first, I didn't eat anything at noon, and I'm hungry now." A man suggested.

"Yes, eat first."

"Let's eat first."

Others have responded.

"Then let's go eat first." Jiang Ning didn't care, he just wanted to get acquainted with these people around him now.

He now understands that Aunt Li does have her reasons for arranging this.

That cook is a monster, but the realm is very low, and it's just the level of a hamster boy.

It seems that there are indeed many monsters eyeing that plum plant, and these monsters belong to different forces. The energy is not small, otherwise it would not have found out the head of this tour group.

Even such a small tour group is not spared, it seems that there are capable people in the monsters.

It's a pity that monsters are monsters after all, and they don't know how to keep pace with the times, and the way of playing with eyeliner has long been outdated, and it may still be useful before the millennium, but now it has entered the era of big data, and artificial intelligence and monitoring networks have long replaced the role of eyeliner.

The best way to deal with eyeliner is to act and play the role he wants to play.

The town is built on the hill, and the houses on both sides look a little dilapidated, but this is also a flavor, and for those who have always lived in the city, this kind of flavor is quite good.

When they reached the mountainside, the leader turned into a side alley, and at the end of it was a restaurant.

It's a small restaurant, with a low bungalow on one side where the owner's family lives, and a platform on the other side, from which you can see most of the town and the docks.

"Nice view."

"In such a nook and crannious place, I didn't expect there to be a restaurant."

"If you don't have a local to lead the way, you may not be able to find it."

"The environment is good, I don't know how to eat?"

"I don't know what it tastes like, but it's a good price."

"The tour guide would never take us to this kind of place, and would definitely take us to the restaurants on the edge of the pier."

The couple commented on the rambling of the word.

"One of the most famous ones here is the pork piercing, which can be eaten on the road or even brought back as gifts. The other is river fresh, which is generally braised here. Of course, steaming or boiling can also be done, and the master can make it. The craftsmanship of the master here ...... Six generations of solitary traditions, handed down from the Qing Dynasty. The person who led the way was introduced there, and he knew that Lu Yuling knew how to do it, and he didn't dare to be casually blinded.

"Little brother, you order, we all believe you." A man who looked to be in his forties shouted at Jiang Ning.

The others pondered for a moment, and finally nodded their heads.

Jiang Ning is not hypocritical: "Then I'll order, I don't need too many cold dishes, let's have a plate of tied meat, a plate of smoked fish, a plate of honey lotus root, the lotus root is prepared for ladies, and the hot dish is a braised fish head, which is very labor-intensive, and the family will definitely not do it, and it also pays attention to craftsmanship." Since it is mainly braised here, the meat will come to the honey sauce fire party, and then there will be a Hangzhou pepper beef tenderloin, and a whitebait egg ......"

He didn't know how to eat before, and he only ordered the cheapest home-cooked dishes such as "ants on the tree" and "fish-flavored shredded pork" at the classmate dinner.

"Real diners." The middle-aged man who had just proposed it cocked his thumb.

These things ordered by Jiangning are not expensive, but they can't be said to be home-cooked food, they can't usually be eaten, these dishes are in line with local characteristics, the taste is fresh and salty, sweet and sour, no matter whether men or women can find their own taste.

"It's nothing, it's just that I ate too much." Jiang Ning waved his hand.

"You're supposed to be a student now, right?" The middle-aged man asked.

"It's my junior year at the end of the summer vacation." Jiang Ning didn't have anything to hide, even if the cook heard it, he wouldn't suspect his true identity, but would believe that he was a "person".

"Yo-that's busy, the junior year starts to think about finding a job, and if you have an idea, you have to take a bunch of certificates to come out." The middle-aged man obviously has a high status, at least he is also a department manager, and he knows the doorway very well.

"It's not necessary for me, my future has already been arranged, I don't usually need to go to class, as long as I don't forget the final exam." Jiang Ning put on a look of "I can't help it", and at this moment he was referring to Cao Fatzi's low-key superiority.

The middle-aged man understands, not only he understands, but anyone with a little experience here understands that this is a second generation.

They didn't ask Jiang Ning, why did he join such a small tour group?

Some of them come from good families.

Some of these tours are for peace of mind, some are for fun, and some are purely for leisure.

The dishes came up quickly, and with the lesson of noon, no one else moved, just waiting for Jiang Ning to try them one by one.

Jiang Ning was not polite, he moved the chopsticks directly, and after tasting each dish, he nodded and said: "Very good, the braised fish head and honey fire can be rated eighty-five points, it should be the master's craftsmanship, and the others are made by the little apprentice, and the heat is a little worse, but the materials are good." ”

Not long after he said this, the owner of the restaurant came out with a plate in his hand, which was a red stewed duck paw, which was not a delicacy like the braised fish head, but it took a lot of work...... This one ran over to apologize, because the little apprentice's craftsmanship was eaten.

For a restaurant, diners like Jiang Ning are the rarest and most popular, because gourmets have a circle of gourmets, and this group of people doesn't care about online reviews, only about the recommendations of people in the circle.

If any restaurant is recognized by this kind of circle, the road ahead will be much easier.

Similarly, the boss ran out and took the initiative to add a dish, which also made the rest of the tour group recognize Jiang Ning's taste. Although experts have become bricks in recent years, under normal circumstances, everyone is still willing to follow the advice of experts.

After a full meal and a full meal, everyone dispersed, and then it was time to play, and the boat would not leave until nine o'clock, which was enough time for everyone to go around.

"I suddenly realized that this is life." Walking Jiang Ning sighed lightly, he didn't have this opportunity before, mainly because he had no money, and after the bloodline awakened, he became no time, and he didn't rest the last time he went to Australia.

Although I came out with a task on my back this time, I rarely enjoyed a trace of leisure.

The only fly in the ointment is that the person around him is Lu Yuling.

How good is it to replace it with Xie Xiaowei?

Of course, he only needs Xie Xiaowei, the little foxes still have to roll as far as they can, these little guys are very annoying.

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future." Lu Yuling didn't care.

"I've heard this many times, but unfortunately, I've never been available." Jiang Ning was very depressed.

"You've only been awakened for a year, and the days that follow are long, when I first woke up, I was very excited in the first few decades, running around, seeing a lot of things, and learning a lot of things, but it's a pity...... Slowly, I lost interest. Then I felt that day after day, year after year, I was simply messing around, and when the vitality of heaven and earth weakened sharply, the messy days became boiling days. Lu Yuling looked sad.

"Don't you cultivate?" Jiang Ning felt strange, he saw that it was always written in the novel that for cultivators, a little retreat would be decades over.

"I'm not that kind of cultivation maniac, besides, it's useless to practice hard, I will only cultivate stupidly." Lu Yuling was obviously quite touched.

"Didn't you say that no hard work, no gain?" Jiang Ning felt strange.

"Cultivation is not farming." Lu Yuling pursed her lips: "Transformation, Ning Dan, three disasters and five tribulations, these are all levels, desperate cultivation can only shorten the distance between levels, what's the use of not being able to cross it?" ”

"In other words, once a person who cultivates fast reaches the level, he can only waste time? Is it true that the strength will not increase at all? Jiang Ning didn't believe it.

"I don't know, maybe? But it's not very useful, instead of wasting time, it's better to think about how to get through? The problem is that it's not easy to think about the past, you haven't seen those fallen demons. Lu Yuling seemed to be recalling something.

"Have you seen that?" Jiang Ning didn't mean to inquire about other people's private affairs, he was completely curious.

Lu Yuling sighed lightly, with a lonely look on her face: "Cultivation pays attention to 'Dharma Companion Materials', who doesn't have a few good friends?" Who doesn't have a few companions? Not long after I took shape, I met a group of demons, and we went on adventures together.

There's a cultivator in there. I still remember that he once said that he must cultivate to become a great demon, so he never wasted any time, except for cultivation, he still cultivated. In order to take care of him, we either took a car or a boat when we were in a hurry......"

"What's wrong with him?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Died, survived the dilemma, and finally died in the first disaster, just like you just said, desperately improving his strength, even if he knew that after reaching the bottleneck, the cultivation efficiency was very low, he still cultivated desperately, all he wanted was to lay a solid foundation...... "The more Lu Yuling said, the more gloomy it became.

Jiang Ning understood.

Cultivating hard may not be useful.

Otherwise, everyone chooses the path of penance, and for cultivators, as long as they can achieve their goals, they will definitely not care about suffering.
