The whole book, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Dark Witch Secrets!
Fu Shaowei opened a table banquet in the single room on the second floor, all of which were the signature dishes of Jinyan Building, without big fish and meat, and it was called the chrysanthemum hot pot banquet. The ingredients are freshly cultivated chrysanthemums, a plate of beautifully presented white chrysanthemums dominates the middle, and there are also four raw slices, pork loin, mandarin fish meat, pork kidneys and chicken breast, as well as four fresh food, four puff pastries and four mushrooms. Not to mention the main dishes of shabu-shabu, the side dishes prepared around the hot pot alone are sixteen servings, which are neatly arranged.
What I drank was not beer, but the flower wine brewed by Jinyanlou, which made people salivate when they smelled it. Fu Shaowei put the wine glass up: "Today, our small group was established, everyone is united around the boss, let's fight the rivers and lakes together, and expand the territory together." ”
Everyone shouted and coaxed, at this time Xiaoyu frowned and put down the wine: "Can you change the wine for me, this wine fat powder is too strong, I can't get used to it." ”
The scene was a little embarrassing, I coughed, and so did Xiaoyu, you can't just settle for this occasion, it's really disappointing.
Xiaoyu and I have never reached the point of being as intimate and considerate as good friends, and we always have a little bit of disagreement with his three views, if it weren't for the face of the third uncle, I would have parted ways with him a long time ago. Now that there is such an opportunity to promote him, he still picks fat and thin and doesn't know the general situation, it's really dog meat that can't be on the table.
My face was pulled down at the time. Fu Shaowei observed his words and said with a smile: "We don't say anything else in Jinyan Building, but there is a lot of wine, and the wine cellar in the basement has what we want." Brother Xiaoyu, what kind of wine do you like to drink, said. ”
"Just burn the knife in the Northeast." Small Fish Passage.
Fu Shaowei nodded and called the waiter and whispered a few words. It didn't take long for an antique wine jug to come from outside, and refill it for Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu smelled it and nodded: "Good wine, fragrant." ”
"It's made from authentic Northeast rice from our in-house distillery," Fu Shaowei said, "and the taste is absolutely undrinkable outside." ”
Everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps and began to feast. I'm very uncomfortable with this kind of scene, but I always remind myself that I am the boss and the leader, and if there are more scenes in the future, I have to stand up and don't let outsiders laugh at me.
The banquet was very enjoyable, everyone laughed and laughed happily, and told each other about their own experiences, that is, to Xiaoyu, he didn't talk much, and he smiled when he asked anything, but he didn't refuse to drink, drinking one by one, and he got a pound under this table.
Fu Shaowei's tongue was a little bigger, and he hugged Xiaoyu's shoulder: "Brother Xiaoyu, we used to have a holiday, but now we are a family, and we won't talk about unhappy things." ”
Xiao Yu snorted a few times in his mouth, but did not answer. At this time, someone below was dissatisfied: "I said this brother, we are rich enough to give you face, what are you doing here?" Can't you say a word? ”
Fu Shaowei waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, you are not allowed to sarcastically mock Xiaoyu, he is also my brother." His tongue was big, and he held a wine glass for Xiaoyu to drink: "Brother, let's touch a glass, and the unpleasantness of the past will be melted into the wine." ”
Xiaoyu didn't hold a wine glass, thought for a while and said: "Rich and young, we are not all the way, and we will never become brothers." I will not drink this wine, and I will take my leave. ”
He stood up to leave, and several people stood up at the same time, blocking his way.
Fu Shaowei burped: "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions." It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Let's seek common ground while reserving differences. He looked at me.
After all, I brought Xiaoyu, and I couldn't hang my face if I didn't open my face, so I said gloomily: "Xiaoyu, who are you throwing your face to?" ”
Xiaoyu said: "Brother Qiang, I'm not aiming at you. I just feel that I am not on the right path with Fu Shaowei and these people, I can't talk about it, sit awkwardly, I will hurry up, don't sweep your Yaxing. ”
"Can you give me face?" I was very upset.
Fu Shaowei played a round game: "Forget it, the Tao is not the same, Brother Xiaoyu, it's okay if you don't recognize me, I'll just recognize you, haha, tell my brother if you have anything to do in the future." ”
Xiaoyu hugged his fists: "Goodbye." With that, he leaned his neck and drank the last glass of wine, and pushed the door open.
The scene was awkward.
Everyone looked at me, my face is burning, I just became the boss now, I don't give face like this, how will outsiders obey me in the future?!
I forced myself to calm down, and when it was fine, I talked and laughed with them. After three rounds of drinking, everyone drank a little too much, and Fu Shaowei arranged for me to stay in the restaurant.
This is a luxurious suite, facing the river, a water of floor-to-ceiling windows, when opened, the curtains flutter, outside the garden, a fresh breeze blowing in the face.
I stood in front of the window, overlooking the river in the distance, it was really a distant mountain swallowing the Yangtze River, and the vast soup was endless. I feel like I've reached the top of my life. Now is just the first step, in the future, I will sweep the whole rivers and lakes, be the man at the top of the food chain, and see who looks down on me!
I lay down in bed and fell asleep, and slept until three o'clock the next day, and did not get up until noon.
After being stunned for a while, the bedside phone rang and asked me if I was awake and if I wanted to deliver food. I happened to be hungry and asked them to bring it. After a short time, the waiter came with a dining cart and delivered the meal directly to the bed, and it was possible to eat while lying down.
When I opened the curtains, it was bright outside, and there were many boats crossing the river, blowing their whistles, and I was momentarily addicted to this atmosphere.
After eating and taking a shower, Shi Peng came, he smiled and said, "Boss, have you slept well?" ”
"Very good." I nodded.
Shi Peng said: "If you have nothing to do, come with me, let's go to a good place." ”
I didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, and it happened to be fine, so I followed him out.
We went down from the back elevator to the backyard, where there was a large garden with green grass and babbling water, and not far away there was a wooden pavilion building for the elderly.
Shi Peng used the key to open the lock on it and made a gesture, "Please." ”
I glanced at him and walked in, and it was a very empty room, ventilated on all sides, and the walls were full of murals, antique. There was a huge portrait enshrined in the room, a lifelike painting of a person, and I recognized it as Zhang Sanfeng at a glance.
It is said that Zhang Sanfeng is the ancestor of our Jiangbei City practice circle, and in the early years, he brought two apprentices to this place to cultivate the Tao and view the incense, which has the inheritance of this practice. When I worshipped Zhu Qiang as my teacher, I had this process, worshipping my ancestor Zhang Sanfeng.
When I saw this painting at this time, I didn't quite understand what Shi Peng meant.
Looking at it, a person turned out of the back of the portrait, it was Fu Shaowei. He was full of energy and smiled: "Boss, this is the rule of our Jinyan Building, I invited you here without explaining it to you, don't be surprised." ”
"Well, what does that mean?" I asked.
"Worship the ancestors." Fu Shaowei said.
He pulled out two yellow futons from under the shrine and motioned for us to kneel on the ground together and face the portrait of Zhang Sanfeng. Shi Peng was the host, lit the incense, and gave us three incense sticks for each person.
Fu Shaowei and I kowtowed to the portrait of Zhang Sanfeng together, and after kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, we inserted the incense into the incense burner and still maintained a kneeling posture.
Shi Peng stood next to him and said: "I have lived overseas for a few years, but I have always been concerned about China and have not cut off contact with China. Sometimes during the New Year's holidays, they will come back to worship their ancestors and recognize their relatives. As for me, I have a few heartfelt words to say to the boss. ”
Fu Shaowei smiled: "Do you need me to avoid it?" ”
"Don't joke about the rich," Shi Peng said solemnly: "Since ancient times, cultivators have either avoided the world or become robbers because they can't control themselves, and there is no good end. Since the patriarch Zhang Sanfeng, he has entered the palace and interacted with the powerful, and Wudang Mountain built the foundation and repaired the palace, which became famous all over the world. Therefore, as a cultivator, you should deal with officials and make more friends with powerful people, so that you can seek a good status and future. ”
Shi Peng came over and helped Fu Shaowei and me up, and said with a smile: "What is the most important thing in modern society is to make connections and resources, make friends with powerful people and become their guests, and that status and wealth will roll in in the future." Our society is originally based on money, rich is the uncle, no one asks you how the money comes from, the Lulu rats will only envy you. ”
I said suspiciously, "I understand the reason, but it sounds a little awkward." Does this go against the original intention of our practice? ”
"Haha," Shi Peng laughed: "What is the original intention?" The wise man should do what he can. Those powerful people are just the power you borrow, and only by stepping on these people can you get more resources and do what you want to do. Whether it's friendship or stuttering, it's a means, not an end. ”
I thought for a moment and clenched my fists: "I've been taught." ”
"Like a cultivator in the market, if he talks about his original intention and state of mind, he is just a reckless man. Even in terms of state of mind, there are big and small, those in the small realm are self-cultivation, and those in the big realm are worried about all beings. Shi Peng almost burst into tears when he spoke.
I found that this seemingly ferocious bald man actually spoke very pertinently and a little level.
"Thank you Brother Shi for your teachings, and I have benefited a lot." I said: "I have never thought about it in the depths before, what will happen if I practice to the extreme, what will happen if I get supernatural powers, but today I heard Brother Shi's words, I suddenly woke up, since I have the ability, I want to live for a hundred years and become a hero!" ”
Fu Shaowei laughed: "The boss abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, which is gratifying." Let me say something from the bottom of my heart, the poor and the rich are two classes and two ideologies, which is why there is this sentence, and the people cannot let it know, but can only use it. Those ordinary people can just follow the path we have guided, and there is no need for them to know why. ”
