Chapter 13: Eating Mutton

Wangjiang Tower, named after the river that stands next to the river that spans half of the city of Lieyang, is famous for the chef who has mastered the three-star holy soul 'Yiyin soup'.

In terms of deliciousness, there are several restaurants in Lieyang City that are more famous than Wangjiang Tower, but the chef who has mastered Yiyin's soup is especially good at combining tonic medicine with food, that is, he is good at medicinal food, so it is most sought after by the monks in the city.

Zhou Xiaoxian had never been here.

She never thought that Xia Yi would be so good when she said that she would take her to have a good meal.

If it weren't for the way Xia Yi had just earned the silver ticket that made her panic, she would definitely be very happy.

Choosing a private room by the window, where he could see the emerald green river, Xia Yi sat down boldly, and opened his mouth to shout: "Little Er!" ”

"Hey, master, come...... Yo, it's an old man, you look at the face. ”

In the greeting, a middle-aged man with a thick beard, with a smile on his face, walked quickly to the table, but although he seemed to move quickly, Xia Yi could keenly notice that every time his right foot landed, it would tilt inward a little.

Cripple? Xia Yi was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Er a few more times.

"Hey, old man, is there anything wrong with me?" The middle-aged man is still smiling.

"Nothing." Xia Yi shook his head: "It's the first time I've come, I just accepted a good apprentice and took her to have a good meal." You don't need to report the name of the dish, the signature specialty dish, come to ten or eight, but all those that have the effect of nourishing the three souls are all wanted. ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhou Xiaoxian, his eyes were slightly deep, and he was stunned for two seconds before he quickly woke up and said: "The dishes that nourish the effect of the three souls can only be made by the master, and the price of those dishes can be ......."

Xia Yi took out the one hundred taels of silver tickets he had just earned from his arms, took out a ten taels from it, and pressed the rest on the table, "Do it according to this number." ”

Zhou Xiaoxian's eyes widened instantly, and he forgot about his worries, and pressed the money on the table with both hands.

This is ninety taels of silver tickets, one tael is about the same as the usual purchasing power, and two taels of silver is basically enough for ordinary people to make a living for a year!

"Teacher, are you going backwards?"

The middle-aged junior smiled with a smile on his face: "Although you don't need so much, ten taels is not enough, according to the old man, it will take about thirty taels." ”

Xia Yi smiled and broke Zhou Xiaoxian's hand away, and said to him, "You take it first?" ”

"No, you're welcome. When you're done eating, just go to the counter and check out. Xiao Er retreated.

So Xia Yi let go, and Zhou Xiaoxian's hand was once again pia to the money.

"Girl, do you have the money first?"

Zhou Xiaoxian shook his head a little hard, and said embarrassedly: "Teacher, I'm not ...... It's not that I feel sorry for money. I am...... This money belongs to the senior brother, how can it be spent like this? ”

"I earned it."

You're the one who lied to you!

"Hahaha, girl, it will take a while to serve the food, take advantage of this time, I will teach you the first lesson!" Xia Yi looked at her and suddenly smiled.

Xiaoxian's expression was slightly serious: "You say! ”

"You think I lied to that boy and made you not know how to face him in the future. Then have you ever wondered, why did I lie to him? Just for money, and for a meal, at the risk of offending and clearing the name? Is it so unreliable to be a teacher in your heart? ”

It's not just the price of a meal, but you who pretended to be dead to scare me and my father...... Zhou Xiaoxian looked at the surroundings and couldn't speak.

"I used the deception scripture, but I didn't deceive him, and I did give him a chance." Xia Yi smiled and said: "Just that book, if I sell it to the Marquis himself, he can get 10,000 taels!" ”

Zhou Xiaoxian opened his mouth in amazement.

"Look, you're staring at you again." Xia Yi said.

"Puppy?"

"Don't worry about it."

“…… Oh. Zhou Xiaoxian replied and snorted: "So that's the case, there is a mystery in that book that I can't understand?" Can...... But you can't blame me for that...... How can I have your ......?"

"Yes, I've lived a lot longer, but you ask yourself, if you think calmly, can you detect the clues, instead of just putting on a worried appearance all the time?"

"One unknown thing after another, the things we don't understand, make up our colorful life. The first lesson the teacher taught you is that you can not understand, but you have to think, and don't respond with surprise and worry when you encounter a situation! ”

Zhou Xiaoxian was stunned and fell into deep thought.

"The dish is here!" At this moment, the little second knocked on the door, and a dish was presented to the table, "Green Soul ginger mutton, the guest officer uses it slowly." ”

Xia Yi nodded, and suddenly, there was a faint sound of discussion coming from outside the open private room door, making him look sideways slightly.

The shopkeeper generally has the ability to see the subtleties, and seeing his appearance, the middle-aged junior immediately took the initiative to say: "The old man has excellent ears." What those guests were talking about was an interesting incident that had just happened. Just half an hour ago, a teenager outside the city plunged headlong into the moat.

The person did not drown, but it may have been cold into the body and hurt his brain, and after being picked up by the guards guarding the city, he actually pulled them and asked them if they had seen a barefoot white-haired old man enter the city with a beautiful girl. ”

The corners of Xia Yi's mouth twitched slightly.

"Tell me, what old man is walking barefoot, the guards are also kind, and they dragged him to find Doctor Hu, who knew that the young man was completely cured when he saw Doctor Hu's hysteria, and he was clamoring to apprentice...... Isn't it ridiculous to talk about this? ”

He was trying to start a side career.

Xia Yi was silent: "Ridiculous." ”

The middle-aged junior looked at the words, didn't know what he said wrong, looked at the image of the two of them, secretly glanced at Xia Yi's feet, and was relieved to find that he was wearing shoes, and hurriedly added, "What am I telling you to do here?" and withdrew.

Xia Yi shook his head, smiled, and just lifted his chopsticks to hold a piece of mutton, when he suddenly found that Zhou Xiaoxian was tense his little face, thinking about it.

“…… Girl? What he just said should be the right time, and he came here, aren't you surprised at all? Not worried at all? ”

Zhou Xiaoxian's face did not change: "According to my judgment, I should have wanted to learn sword from you, and I am not surprised to chase after me." There are worries, but there is no use worrying about them, so let's go find him together when we finish dinner, teacher. ”

Xia Yi was silent for a moment and let out a long sigh: "At this time, you can show a little surprise and worry, it's okay. ”

Zhou Xiaoxian blinked, the stiffness of his face dissolved like ice and snow, and said with a little caution: "Can I?" ”

Xia Yi couldn't cry or laugh: "Eat, don't wait for the dishes to be served, eat one after another, girl, you will be hungry if you have slow hands." ”

Xia Yi quickly picked up a chopstick of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth, and then ate a piece of green soul ginger with an old face, eating mutton, mutton, mutton, ginger......

Zhou Xiaoxian was stunned for two seconds, and then she also picked up her chopsticks to join the ranks of eating vegetables, and after only taking a small bite tentatively, she sighed, and the speed of picking vegetables was not much slower than Xia Yi.

The dishes that nourish the three souls are delicious, and the key is to allow the monks to enjoy a sense of comfort from the inside out, and to slightly increase the speed of cultivation.

"Eating mutton is not easy to digest, so it's best to chew it thirty times in your mouth before swallowing." Xia Yi said.

"Is that so?" Zhou Xiaoxian chewed it carefully, but saw Xia Yi holding the mutton with his chopsticks and gobbling it up, "Teacher, you ...... Rascally! ”

"Your appetite can't be compared to mine, with my physique, eating raw mutton doesn't hurt your stomach." Xia Yi said it as a matter of course.

Zhou Xiaoxian sighed, seeing that there was less and less mutton on the plate, the chewing action suddenly accelerated...

It's like a bunny.

The competition in the meal is more fragrant, it is only three minutes of effort, not only this plate of green soul ginger mutton was eaten by them, but even the second fish head tofu mushroom pot was half eaten by them.

When the middle-aged young man knocked on the third dish and entered the house, he was startled by the eyes of the two of them, and forced a smile and said, "This is the third dish of the guest officer...... Course ...... Dish ......"

Hey? Why is there an echo all of a sudden?

Xia Yi was in a trance, and suddenly found that everything in front of him was rapidly regressing, this situation was so familiar, he was stunned at first, and then helplessly supported his forehead with his hand, and looked at the plate full of green soul ginger mutton in front of him.

On the other side, Zhou Xiaoxian tentatively pinched the chopsticks, his eyes lit up immediately, and he wanted to eat again, but he looked at Xia Yi hesitantly, and said, "Why did you only eat one bite, is it not to your liking?" ”

"Hey, eat!"

Xia Yi was speechless while moving his chopsticks, just now it must have been time to die again, and the apprentice was slaughtered? Not really, right? Alas, no matter what, he should be able to survive once he reads the file, right?

"Well, let him die, this mutton is quite fragrant, and it's not bad to eat another plate for free."

Three minutes later, Xia Yi squinted at a plate full of Green Soul ginger mutton.

"Teacher, are you ...... Don't eat it? ”

“…… Eat, you eat more. "Xia Yi lifted the chopsticks, ate a few bites, and breathed a sigh of relief: 'It's okay, it's quite fragrant to eat the third time.'"

Three minutes later......

"Damn, what a special dish!"

"Teacher, what did you say?"

"It's okay, eat mutton, eat mutton."

Three more minutes.

Xia Yi put a chopstick mutton into his mouth, chewed it thirty times, swallowed it, and then slapped the chopsticks on the table with a snap.

Zhou Xiaoxian was taken aback: "Teacher? ”

"You eat yours, eat more!"

Xia Yi got up, walked to the window, looked out, and squinted after a few seconds: "Coincidentally, it's really not far from here!" ”

Pit me mutton and eat four plates, brute!
