Chapter 110: Moon Viewing Conference
In the quiet library pavilion, Yuehua was holding a book in her hand and reading it with relish, and the sunlight shining on the floor into the pane changed its position, and before she knew it, it was noon.
"It's time to eat?" Pei Xiuxiu walked in with a jujube red four-layer food box in her hand.
Yuehua still stared at the book and asked, "Ugly girl, what did you prepare for me today?" ”
Pei Xiuxiu opened the food box and brought it out one by one, and introduced: "This is sweet and sour pork ribs, this is three fresh cakes, this is crucian carp tofu soup, and garlic pumpkin leaves." ”
Yuehua put down the book in his hand, sniffed it closer, and nodded, "It looks pretty good." ”
Pei Xiuxiu pouted and retorted: "What do you mean it looks good?" You can eat it, and it tastes very good. ”
Yuehua picked up the chopsticks and tasted everything, nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it's not bad, you are very talented in cooking." By the way, do you want to stay in the Medicine King Valley as my apprentice? ”
Faced with the sudden and surprising proposal, Pei Xiuxiu smiled awkwardly and shook her head and refused: "This...... Or forget it? ”
"What? Don't want to? Medicine King Valley's apprentices are often selected by the elite, and now that you are given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you actually want to refuse? Yuehua asked rhetorically.
Pei Xiuxiu shook her hand and smiled: "I know that the opportunity is rare, but I am a stupid girl who doesn't understand anything, and I am afraid of disappointing the kindness of the valley master." ”
The corners of Yuehua's lips raised and smiled: "It's okay, it's stupid, it's a little stupid, but at least it's not a fool and there is still salvation." ”
"Hey, Gu Master, are you talking too much?" Pei Xiuxiu glanced at him unhappily and said.
In fact, Yuehua knows very well in her heart, the ugly girl in front of her is smart and clever, and she is a material for studying medicine.
That day in the medicine garden, he accidentally bumped into her and could recognize so many herbs, and he knew that she was not simple.
Pei Xiuxiu stood aside and pondered: The valley master suddenly wanted to take her as an apprentice, did he want her to cook for him for a lifetime? Is the apprentice fake, but the chef is real? Hmph, I'm not right. When I heal my face, I'll go to Ling Feng. The so-called marrying a chicken and marrying a dog is a dog, and in this life, there is only one man identified by Pei Xiuxiu, Ling Feng.
After the meal, Yuehua opened her mouth and said, "Tomorrow's moon viewing meeting, I heard that Zilin's girl say that you have already arranged it?" ”
Pei Xiuxiu replied confidently: "Yes, but I will borrow your Moonlight Lake later." ”
"Oh?" Yuehua didn't pick a hair and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Pei Xiuxiu smiled: "There are a lot of fresh ingredients in the lake, and I need to borrow them." ”
"Really?"
"Well, like lotus roots, lake crabs, fish, screws, etc., in short, there are many merits."
"Okay, you mean to throw yourself into the lake?"
"It can be understood in this way, but I am not zì shā, but into the lake to draw materials."
Yuehua stood up and commented, "Crazy! After that, he continued to read.
Pei Xiuxiu sighed indifferently: "Good ingredients can make good dishes, and you don't understand the craftsman spirit of a skillful chef." ”
After saying that, he stuck out his tongue and left the basket.
Yuehua laughed unconsciously, it seems that it feels good to fight with this girl every day, if you take her as a vain, will it be much more interesting in the future?
The next day was the annual traditional autumn festival, and Pei Xiuxiu was busy in the kitchen early in the morning.
Honey lotus root, fried screws in sauce, boiled river shrimp, secret grilled fish, crispy fried chicken, handmade meatballs, charcoal grilled lamb chops, steamed lake crab, crab roe soup dumplings, osmanthus cakes, moon cakes, fruit platters and so on.
Zilin and Zishan looked at this series of menus with surprise and their jaws were about to drop.
"Xiuxiu, can you cook so many dishes by yourself?"
"Don't you know my strength? Don't worry, leave it to me alone, and promise to make the party lively. How about the Kong Ming lantern and the mask that you two prepared? ”
"It's not good yet, it's half ready, we'll go back and do it now."
"Come on."
"Well, come on."
In previous years, the venue of the moon viewing meeting was not in the South Garden, but in the back garden of the West Garden.
But this year's location is different, Pei Xiuxiu wasted a lot of tongues to borrow the plum pavilion by the moonlight lake in Dongyuan from Yuehua.
Don't look at this as an inconspicuous trivial matter, but it spread among the disciples and caused a lot of controversy.
You must know that they have been in the valley for three years, and they have never stepped into the back garden of this East Garden.
Qing'er, the only female apprentice of the apprentice, said, "It seems that the master is different from that girl. ”
"Huh...... Who's to say it isn't? Maybe we have another junior sister, you say? ”
"Yes, yes, as long as it's a woman, I'm the one who comes, anyway, I won't refuse ......"
Qing'er glanced at Senior Brother Yu and said sarcastically: "Your pursuit? ”
Yu Chenyang sighed and said, "Alas, who made us face you all day except for herbs." ”
"Isn't there still Zilin Zishan's two girls?"
"Those two girls are pursuing so many people, which round will get me? Do you know that there are more monks and less porridge? Besides, our apprentices are going to leave the valley after five semesters, Zilin Zishan grew up in the Medicine King Valley since she was a child, and she will never leave the Medicine King Valley for the rest of her life, this is the rule that they have always had in the Medicine King Valley, and you don't know it. Therefore, I advise those brothers and sisters who admire those two girls to give up as soon as possible, so as not to have time to hate them. ”
"Alas......" came the neat sigh of the crowd.
Dongyuan Plum Pavilion
The night is as cool as water, and you can sit and watch the morning glory Vega.
When the moon is in the sky, the bright moonlight is sprinkled with silver light on the lake.
The Mei Pavilion was full of delicious delicacies, and everyone in the Medicine King Valley gathered together: Gu Lord Yuehua, as well as his ten disciples, Granny Feng's family, Zilin Zishan, and Pei Xiuxiu.
Everyone sat around the table, raised a glass and drank to celebrate the autumn festival together.
Flower wine, fruit wine, medicinal wine, and rice wine, a pot of pots are placed on the table, and everyone eats while admiring the moon, and they are in high spirits.
Granny Feng tasted the moon cakes and praised: "In previous years, the late ones were all bean paste-flavored moon cakes, but this year's one is different, if I guessed correctly, I ate chestnut-flavored moon cakes just now?" ”
Pei Xiuxiu replied with a smile: "Well, in addition to the chestnut flavor and flower mooncakes, if Granny Feng likes to eat it, let's try another piece." ”
"Huh...... I'm old and can't eat too many sweets. ”
Yuehua looked at the plate full of crabs, frowned, and said, "This is what you fished from the lake yesterday for a long time?" ”
Pei Xiuxiu nodded and replied: "Yes, it's delicious, you see how fatty and attractive this crab paste is, with my specially prepared sauce, it's simply delicious in the world!" Why don't you eat it? ”
Everyone shook their heads, it turned out that they were eating for the first time, so they wouldn't eat it.
Pei Xiuxiu patiently taught everyone how to eat crabs, after tasting the taste, some people love to eat and some don't, Yuehua didn't even look at it, and she didn't look at it at all.
Laughter, wine glasses are staggered, and the wine is getting stronger, Pei Xiuxiu took out a carefully prepared mask and proposed a masked talent show.
As soon as everyone sitting heard that everyone was going to perform a show, they refused in unison: "Miss Pei, spare us, we won't!" ”
"Singing, dancing, chanting poetry, painting, you can do it, don't be so restricted, let go of the rare autumn festival."
Everyone looked at each other and waved their hands in refusal.
At this time, the valley lord Yuehua, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke: "Everyone performs a show, no excuses, if you don't perform, don't want to go back to sleep tonight." ”
"Ah...... How good is that? ”
"It's over, it's over, I'm going to make a fool of myself......"
……
Granny Feng smiled: "It's rare that the valley lord is so happy today, I, as the oldest, will tell a story first." Today is the Autumn Festival, I tell the story of Chang'e running to the moon, although it is an old story, everyone may have heard it, but the focus is on participation. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful woman named Chang'e......"
Everyone was fascinated by it, and before they knew it, the story of Granny Feng had been told.
Qing'er sighed with emotion: "Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are night and night." If I were that Chang'e, I would never live in the cold Guanghan Palace, guarding the Jade Rabbit every day, and suffering loneliness. ”
After sighing, Yuehua volunteered to start dancing the sword with a white mask.
The moonlight poured down like water, and by the silver lake, a man in white wearing a mask, holding a long sword, danced in the wind.
The tip of the sword is sometimes fluttering, sometimes condensed, soft and sometimes like flowing water, coherent and free.
When the sword momentum changes, it is like an angry wave rolling snow, cold and windy, swaying vertically and horizontally.
Yuehua's agile posture turned light and agile, and her toes jumped into the air, and the long sword drew arcs in the air, ethereal as a fairy.
The crowd of "good ......" let out a heartfelt cheer.
"The Valley Lord ...... Mighty"
Some of the next apprentices chanted poems, some stroked the piano, and some played the flute, all of whom were hidden and talented.
The most cunning is the two girls Zilin Zishan, who came up with the bad idea of the two of them performing a banana eating competition together.
Fortunately, the result was funny enough, and everyone let her go.
"It's your turn to be ugly, what are you going to perform? This is a proposal that you have made, so let's start without further ado. Yuehua stood aside and smiled lightly.
Pei Xiuxiu's eyes rolled, she stood up and put on that rabbit mask and said, "I'm going to sing a song, in order to meet the occasion, I will sing the water tune song of the talented Su Shi?" When does Mingyue have this song? ”
A light and beautiful voice came: When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky. I don't know what year it is tonight. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Dance to figure out how the shadow seems to be in the world.
In the valley, the melodious song is carried to the other side of the lake with the breeze.
Suddenly, the sound of the flute, which had been pleasant, blew with the sound, and everyone turned their heads to see that it was Yuehua.
Pei Xiuxiu's clear voice is like an empty valley orchid, like a gentle and soft sound, like a sound made by gently buttoning the beautiful jade, and it is like a mountain flowing water, refreshing people's hearts.
And the sound of that jade flute is like a heavenly sound.
Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, and nothing will be done to say goodbye. People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles.
After a song, everyone was still intoxicated by the beautiful singing, Pei Xiuxiu gratefully walked to Yuehua's side and said with a smile: "Thank you for the soundtrack of the valley master, happy cooperation, but how can you also make this tune?" ”
Yuehua sneered disdainfully: "I will naturally understand the song after listening to it once, not to mention that I have heard you hum this song several times in private." ”
"Huh? Have it? Pei Xiuxiu asked in surprise: "No?" Can you remember this? Talent! ”
Senior Brother Hu, the oldest apprentice, smiled: "Haha...... Wonderful, lingering! Miss Pei's voice is like a yellow warbler out of the valley, and Master's flute sound is like a heavenly sound. The combination of the two is seamless and unforgettable. ”
The night is getting deeper, and at the end of the moon viewing conference, Kong Ming lanterns rise into the sky, drifting into the distance with thoughts and hopes.
