Although Wuyingguan also has a spring break on New Year's Day, because the students come from all over the world, it is undoubtedly unrealistic to expect to return to Jinling after returning to their hometowns within a month, and in addition, it is necessary to consider the most realistic problem - money, so most of the sects are in remote areas, and the shy students can only choose to send letters home.

As for those whose homes are near Jinling and are not short of money, such as the other two disciples selected in the Xuandao Hall, due to the fact that Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning, the two leaders, suddenly took a long leave and ran away, they also very collectively consciously stayed and spent the New Year with their classmates.

So, although the teachers of the Wuying Pavilion said that they had been on vacation since a few days ago, the students stayed in the Wuying Pavilion, for this reason, Zhou Jiyue after obtaining everyone's consent, put the gatekeepers and other housekeepers and miscellaneous servants such as buying and sorting, and even the cooks took a holiday, so that they could go home and reunite with their relatives.

As for why it is not more rewarding money to retain those people, the reason is very simple, save money! Of course, the money saved was undoubtedly used by the crowd to vote happily on the holiday meal. Although everyone knows that Yue Qianqiu, who will return to Wuying Hall in the future, is a big family, no one thought that he would slaughter that big family, and then eat fragrant and drink spicy food.

Doorkeepers, sweeping the floor, lighting fires, and doing chores can be cast by lot, but there is only one thing that all the students agree must not cast, and that is cooking.

After all, whether you can cook is one thing, and whether you can cook a good meal is another.

Although most sects have been doing everything themselves over the years and are used to being frugal, there are very few pampered disciples. Rao is like this, Zhou Jiyue asked one by one, there are only six who can cook, and only two who think that cooking is delicious.

Among them, Song Pujia, who volunteered and boasted of her excellent cooking skills, just went to the kitchen to cook a meal, and a large group of diners almost ate it with tears streaming down their faces, and finally unanimously passed the eternal expulsion of Song Xiaonu from the kitchen, so as not to eat them to death. In this way, there is only one person who is excellent at cooking, and that person is very unexpected.

It is the taciturn but very reliable celebration of the harvest year!

In terms of culinary skills, there are only a few girls in Wuying Pavilion, from Zhou Jiyue to Song Pujia, to Emei Sanshu, and then to Ling Zhu'er...... Even Xiao Jingjing, whose mother is in stable condition and comes here from time to time to mingle with a familiar face, a total of seven people are all added together, and it is not as good as a helper, who is busy in the kitchen for an hour, and finally can serve a table of dishes.

This former disciple of the Shengong Sect did not boast about it, but Mu Ran and several other juniors and disciples looked honored, and they all said that in the past, when the life of the Shengong Gate was hard, thanks to Qing Fengnian, he sharpened the arrows himself, and then went up the mountain to hunt and give them food. That's right, Qingfengnian is so intimate that he has contracted all the work from hunting to concocting prey to making delicious dishes.

At this time, in the dining hall of Wuying Pavilion, a total of eight tables of people saw that the food was ready, and with the shouting of the meal, the chopsticks fell towards the food on the plate like rain hitting the plantain, and the speed was directly proportional to their hunger at this time.

Qing Fengnian, who stepped in here and saw this scene, was very sure that if he hadn't left one for himself in the kitchen, when he sat down, he was afraid that there would be nothing left. He smiled helplessly, and was about to go back to the kitchen to clean up, when he heard the little monkey sitting at the outermost table suddenly shout: "Senior Brother Qing, someone sneaked into the kitchen, your food is going to be lost!" ”

With this sentence, I don't know how many pairs of chopsticks slapped on the table angrily. Because people who can cook need preferential treatment, these half-grown teenagers who are growing up and have a better appetite than the other voted in the morning by a show of hands to agree that Qingfeng Nian can enjoy it exclusively in the kitchen, without having to compete with them at the dinner table.

But now there are people who go directly to the kitchen and don't follow the rules, which is unbearable!

As the first man stood up menacingly, he strode out, and several people rolled up their sleeves and followed. But when the first person reached out to open the curtain, he only heard Zhou Jiyue's voice from behind.

"There were a lot of people at the dinner table just now, how could anyone sneak into the kitchen? Little monkey, you have good ears, and you actually heard someone coming in, but did you only say half of what you said? The door outside has been locked, and at this time, most of the people who can climb over the high wall of the Wuying Pavilion and run to the kitchen are only one person. ”

Hearing this, while the others rushed out, he happily ate a little monkey and found that a large number of people turned around, their eyes were all focused on themselves, his fast-dancing chopsticks stopped suddenly, and then scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Hmm, I just heard someone go in, and I didn't say who it was......"

Although the little monkey desperately denied it, he could see that his table was a mess of cups and plates, who didn't know what his intentions were, and for a while several people at the same table rushed towards him, pinching his neck, wrenching his shoulders, and even twisting his hands and feet, tossing the little monkey to scream. As for the others, they are busy eating their own at their own tables.

Faced with this scene, Qing Fengnian, who was crying and laughing, was about to speak, when he heard a familiar voice from outside the door.

"The scallion fried mutton in the kitchen is good, didn't you say a few days ago that the cooks are gone? Where did you get such a good craftsman, and the cooking was so delicious, I couldn't resist eating it all for a while! ”

When Yue Qianqiu, who said this, rushed into the dining hall in a hurry, he saw a pair of eyes all staring at him, and his eyes were quite strange. Because he needed to prepare for Princess Ping'an's homecoming, and he, a drum guard, couldn't leave his post when he was fine, he didn't have time to come here for several days, and he couldn't help but feel strange at this time.

When he had just left Yuefu, he remembered that it would be almost evening when he received a message to pick up people at the dock during the day, and then returned to Yuefu, and when he left, he would definitely not be able to catch up with the old lady Yue, and maybe he would come over to live in person for a lively dinner. Although he was sure that Princess Ping'an should be fine, and it was okay to turn around immediately, he finally chose to go out first.

After all, Princess Ping'an and Nuno Mother and Daughter rarely get along alone with Old Lady Yue, and it is appropriate to leave a place for their grandparents and grandchildren. He has monopolized the preference of the old lady Yue for so many years, and giving up the throne will not have any real impact on his status in the Yue Mansion. As for eating...... Just go to the Wuying Pavilion to ask your friends to eat together!

But when he wanted to find a friend to eat, he only felt that something was wrong when he saw that the dining hall was full of people but was eyeing him fiercely. The next moment, he only heard Ling Zhu'er say angrily: "The dishes in the kitchen are reserved for Senior Brother Qing, he cooks for everyone every day, and he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to practice arrows, this is good, even the food was robbed by you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, although no one echoed Yue Qianqiu's reputation as the ninth son, but with so many hot eyes, Yue Qianqiu was really a little unbearable, and he had to immediately raise his hand to apologize to Qingfengnian.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just smelled the fragrance and went straight to the kitchen to take a look, but I was salivated by those delicious dishes. In this way, I will ask Senior Brother Qing for your supper later, and you should make amends! ”

"It's just a dish, if you want to be so serious, we people can learn literature and martial arts here, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing, aren't we all won by the ninth prince? Even myself, before and Senior Sister Ling, accidentally fell into the hands of Wu Desi, and almost shed a layer of skin, didn't you knock on the Dengwen drum to fish us out? ”

Qing Fengnian took Yue Qianqiu's joke seriously, and when he said this, he added a few words in a rare way: "Starting from the matter of the Shengong Gate, I have inherited a lot of kindness from the ninth prince and you have never returned it, and if you can see my craftsmanship, then I couldn't be happier." ”

"Ah, it turns out that the dishes are all made by you, Senior Brother Qing?" Yue Qianqiu really didn't want to dwell on the unpleasant things in the past in this casual day, and after screaming in surprise, as if he had just woken up to this problem, "Then it seems that I really have to come over often to eat in the future." But I didn't come empty-handed today, I ordered three roasted whole sheep from the famous Pleasant Goat in Jinling City, and I estimated that I would be ......able to deliver them in half an hour."

Well, fortunately, he abducted the restaurant he opened in partnership with the Qin family before, so he took care of his own business.

Before he finished speaking, the little monkey who had just been angry because of the interruption and stealing food finally seized the opportunity and shouted Long live Brother Yuejiu. At this moment, everyone who had gobled up just now suddenly regretted it. Although the dish in front of you is delicious, you can eat it slowly to save your appetite, and you can continue to eat mutton for a while, isn't that better?

Seeing that Ling Zhu'er apologized a little embarrassed under Qing Fengnian's reminder, Yue Qianqiu said that it was okay, and then rescued the little monkey, and then came to a table full of girls in the corner.

Since Zhou Jiyue recovered as a daughter, the girls' table has gradually become lively, not only has Ling Zhu'er been added, but Xiao Jingjing, who came to listen to the excitement from time to time a few days ago. It's just that there is only one man who dares to come over openly at this kind of meal.

As if he hadn't seen the meaningful gaze of Emei Sanshu, he propped one hand on the table, first nodded to Zhou Jiyue, and then said to Song Pujia with a smile: "You know, my mother just came back today." She saw that her health was not very good, could she ask Song Xiaonuxia for a favor and go to her tomorrow to see how the situation was? Those old fritters in the Imperial Doctor's Department are too lively, it's really unbelievable, and I can't just alarm my sister, she's about to give birth. ”

Before, the eldest princess of Dongyang and Su Shiqi both said that they would come to give lectures to the girls, although in the end, because one was too busy, the other was helpless, and there were few opportunities to show up in the Wuying Pavilion, but after all, they came, and they were very loved by the disciples, so at this time, Yue Qianqiu said this, no one felt that Yue Qianqiu did not find Su Shiqi to find Song Pujia There was any problem, even Song Pujia herself, it was immediately jumping, with a happy expression that someone came to her to see a doctor.

"Yes, yes, I can go at any time, even at night! Having said that, Jingjing's mother's illness is so weird, I really can't help it, so don't blame me for my poor medical skills! ”

"Yes, don't worry, my mother is not as difficult to treat as Xiao Qingqing!"

Everyone knows that the smug little girl Song just has no patients to see and her hands are itchy, and she hates that the Imperial Doctor Department robbed her of a patient, rather than having any intentions for Yue Jiu Gongzi, who can walk sideways in Jinling City. But I heard that she was even willing to go at night, and the coaxing continued. Faced with this situation, Song Pujia not only did not have any shy emotions, but slapped the table hard.

"Shut up all of them, or you won't come to me if you have a headache and brain fever and bruises in the future!"

In an instant, the huge dining hall was silent, showing the obscenity of the little girl of Song. At this time, Song Pujia said boldly: "Since you have ordered to send the roasted whole sheep to us, now sit down and taste Senior Brother Qing's craftsmanship?" It's all stingy, if she had said it earlier, we would have eaten delicious food a long time ago! ”

Zhou Jiyue finally couldn't help but quip: "When you say this, it's as if before Senior Brother Qing took charge, Wuyingguan abused you, and you have to look at Shu!" Eat yours, I'm almost full, Qianqiu, I have something to tell you. ”

Expenditure? Needless to say, Ye Guanghan owed him a lot of favors before, and he had already promised to give resources and opportunities for training, even if he was no longer a secretary of the military department, could it be that the conversation didn't count?

Although Yue Qianqiu was suspicious, he immediately nodded briskly and said, "Okay." Let's go out and say. Don't worry, lack of money is not a problem, I am the best at grabbing funds. ”

If Zhou Jiyue and Yue Qianqiu talked about something else, some people would be curious and wanted to go out to find out, but when they heard that they were talking about expenses and expenses, a large group of young men immediately became shrunken turtles.

You must know that in the past few months, the Wuying Pavilion has been overspending every month, some because of the loss of weapons used for training, some because of horse injuries, and some because of the loss of food...... These three kinds of losses are listed in the forefront of expenses, all of which are related to boys, and they are energetic, they either break their weapons when they practice martial arts competitions, or accidentally injure their horses when they ride horses, and then they steal ingredients when they are hungry and play barbecue, Zhou Jiyue doesn't know how many people have been punished for copying books by Iron Mask.

So, thinking that at this time, the chairman of the board of directors must be sue, and no one wants to go out and touch nails.

But when Zhou Jiyue got up and walked out, she heard the constant talk behind her, but she suddenly said in a deep voice: "If you don't eat or sleep, you will be the wind if I don't say it for a day, right?" Except during the holidays, it is not allowed to talk while eating at other times! After a while, if anyone stuffs a bunch of things in his mouth and still talks, he will be starved for two days! ”

Seeing Zhou Jiyue's demeanor as a big sister, Yue Qianqiu almost wanted to laugh. But he really followed her to a secluded place outside, and there was no sound in the dining hall, and he was about to ask Zhou Jiyue what difficulties he had in spending, but he heard an unexpected sentence.

"Qianqiu, I accompanied Senior Sister Song to see Xiao Qingqing twice these days. Although Senior Sister Song said that the pulse diagnosis results were similar to those of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Doctor's Department, neither good nor bad, she could only see that the person's body was always weak, and many organs and organs seemed to be failing, but I found out yesterday that her face was wrong, because a certain part of the back of her neck was different in color from other parts. ”

Seeing that Yue Qianqiu immediately showed a very cautious expression, Zhou Jiyue wanted to explain why she didn't go to Yue's house to inform about it, but after thinking about it, she changed her words and said: "Yesterday, when I came back with Pu Jia, I saw King Jin in civilian clothes from a distance. I'm not quite sure if it was a coincidence, or if he deliberately let me see him, and while I was being distracted, someone stuffed something like this into me. ”

When she handed the roll of paper in her hand to Yue Qianqiu, she said in an accentuated tone: "Although I was a little distracted at that time, there are very few people in the world who can stuff things into my sleeve without me even noticing!" ”
