Chapter Twenty-Three: Encountering an Acquaintance Again and Getting Drunk
There are a lot of guests in Zuishan Mansion in the New Year, and Zheng Qiu has to run hundreds of times every day on the road from the kitchen to the dining table. At the end of each work, his legs were like noodles, and he didn't have any strength at all. The shopkeeper saw it in his eyes and liked this obedient and capable child more and more.
When the New Year passed, the shopkeeper invited Zheng Qiu's family to dinner as agreed.
The dishes are very good, fish, meat, fruits, vegetables are all available, and they are all carefully selected good things.
At first, everyone thought it was the shopkeeper who broke the bank, and they didn't dare to move the chopsticks. Wait until the shopkeeper tells the whole thing before everyone lets go of their stomachs to eat. Everyone kept putting vegetables in Zheng Qiu's bowl, praising him for being sensible, and they couldn't wait to stuff the whole table of food into him.
After the meal, Zheng Qiu received three new clothes, one of which was hand-woven by Yun You. He tried to put it on, and everyone praised it for its fit and good looks, and he was a little embarrassed to say it.
As soon as the New Year passed, Bihe Town gradually returned to its usual appearance, except for the snow remaining on the road and roof, and lanterns hung in front of individual houses.
"Come, Zheng Qiu, Fushan Drunken Fish, take it!" the chef shouted, handing the drunken fish that had just been set on the plate to Zheng Qiu, "The first table on the second floor." ā
Zheng Qiu nodded and stepped up the stairs with a plate.
"Fushan Drunken Fish is here!" Zheng Qiugang walked to the table and saw the guests seated, and his body couldn't help but freeze.
Although he had changed his clothes, he could still recognize at a glance that the two people on the table were the cultivator brothers and sisters who had made him gnaw on snowflakes that day.
"Why don't you bring it here?" the girl asked, turning her head to ask, and when she saw the person serving the plate, she slapped the table, "It's you again!
"No, no. ā
"That's not enough. ā
"Oh, oh. Zheng Qiu hurriedly put the plate on the table, took a few steps back, and was about to turn around and slip away.
"Stop!
Zheng Qiu was annoyed in his heart, he was really unlucky, how could he run into this unreasonable guy. But he stopped, turned back to the table, bowed and asked, "What else do you need?"
"I'll taste it first, and if the fish doesn't taste good, you can bring it back to me." ā
"Ahh ā
The girl's eyes glared directly: "Do you dare not retreat? If you don't retreat, I will stuff the plate in your throat!"
"Retreat, I'll retreat, if it's not delicious, I'll help you retreat. Zheng Qiu swallowed his saliva, and quickly gave in, he couldn't be provoked, he couldn't be provoked.
The girl stretched out her chopsticks and scraped a small handful of meat on the belly of the fish, took it in front of her, looked left and right, and then sniffed it under her nose before putting it in her mouth. Tilting her head and chewing carefully for a while, she stretched out her chopsticks again, this time holding more fish meat than the first time.
Zheng Qiu's heart finally let go, no problem, this fish girl likes to eat. He raised his foot and wanted to step back, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he put it back, no, the ancestor hadn't said to let him go. You can't do what you didn't say, in case she loses her temper, God knows if Zuishan Tower will be demolished.
After a while, the girl ate half of the fish's belly, and the senior brother on the other side of the table persuaded her: "Senior sister, don't eat it, eating too much fireworks is not good for your cultivation." ā
"No, why can't you eat it? I cultivate faster than you, why don't you let me eat it?"
"I ......" Senior Brother touched his nose and opened his mouth to say nothing. He shrugged, looked down and pulled out a small cloth bag, pouring out a bunch of small round beans and counting them slowly.
Zheng Qiu stood next to him and looked carefully, the little beans were lilac, weren't they the seeds of Yiluo flowers, there were so many.
"Senior sister, if you bring back so much this time, Elder Mingzong should be very happy. Last time, only two of the twenty seeds were planted, and he had been laughed at by the other elders for a long time. ā
The girl chewed the fish and replied vaguely: "Well, he deserves it, he does research every day, and he can't even grow seeds......
"Senior sister, Elder Ming Zong is also thinking about everyone, so it's not appropriate to say ...... him."
Hearing that only two of the twenty Yiluo seeds were planted, Zheng Qiu interjected and said, "That, the seed coat of the Yiluo flower should be broken before planting." ā
"Oh, do you know this is Yiluohua?" Hearing this, the senior brother raised his head and looked Zheng Qiu up and down, "If you want to break the seed coat, will you plant this?"
Zheng Qiu nodded.
"So you've ever planted Iro, too?"
Zheng Qiu nodded again.
The senior brother held his chin and thought for a while, and asked, "Then what is the survival rate of your planting?"
Zheng Qiu scratched his head: "I planted six seeds, and they all sprouted. ā
"He is talking nonsense, senior brother, don't listen to him. The girl knocked on the chopsticks and shouted, she turned her face and glared at Zheng Qiu: "Where did you come from?" Say, or I'll let you eat the plate!"
"I, I used to grow medicine in the mountains. ā
Senior brother's eyes lit up: "Little brother, you can hide it so well, dare to ask which sect's senior disciple?"
Zheng Qiu hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Is there a rule that you can't say? I'm sorry, but I'm abrupt. ā
Seeing that the other party wanted to apologize, Zheng Qiu waved his hand again and again: "No, no." Yes, it was an accident on the mountain, and IāI ran down. ā
The senior brother was slightly stunned, and then showed a clear look: "I see, seeking profit and avoiding risks, human nature, you don't have to feel guilty." ā
"Coward!" the girl grimaced, sticking out her tongue.
"Senior sister. Others also have grievances, and you can't say that. You see, he said that he planted six Ierohua seeds, all of which sprouted, and he must have the ability. ā
The girl turned her head and smiled at Zheng Qiu: "Did you hear it, say that you have the ability." ā
Then she said to her senior brother: "Since you have the ability, let him go to the old man Mingzong and teach the old man how to grow medicine." ā
"Senior sister, this ......"
The girl turned to Zheng Qiu: "Do you know how to plant anything?"
"No, I don't. ā
The girl slapped the table hard, and the wooden table creaked and seemed to collapse at any moment.
Zheng Qiu shrunk his neck: "Yes, I will plant some, only some." ā
Who knew that the girl stood directly on the chair, pointed her chopsticks at the tip of Zheng Qiu's nose, and shouted, "Isn't it all?"
"All, all, all. ā
"Senior brother, have you heard? The girl jumped on the table and crackled and kicked off the bowls and plates.
"Senior sister, come down, so many people are watching. Senior sister, come down quickly!"
But the girl ignored her senior brother's words, took out a square piece of jade and threw it at Zheng Qiu's head, and then pointed at Zheng Qiu and shouted: "Okay, take this to Qianyun Sect to find the old man Mingzong and tell him that someone who is more powerful than him is here." ā
Zheng Qiu picked up the jade piece and didn't know how to answer. The girl was upset: "Do you hear that?"
"Hear, hear. ā
The senior brother kept persuading: "Senior sister, come down quickly, come down quickly......"
Zheng Qiu leaned over and whispered, "This big brother, there is wine in the drunken fish in Fushan, will she eat too much and get drunk?"
The senior brother sighed: "Hey, I knew that she didn't want to eat it, she had to eat it." ā
"Big brother, do you see this?" Zheng Qiu quietly handed over the jade piece.
The senior brother raised his hand and pushed it back into Zheng Qiu's arms: "That's it, little brother, you can take it." Meeting again can be regarded as fate, come to my Qianyun Sect another day, I will take you to meet Elder Mingzong, maybe you can really talk together. ā
"Thank you, it's so ......"
Zheng Qiu wanted to bow and thank him, but was held by his senior brother with his hand. "Don't bow, my sister is going to make trouble again when she sees it, you go downstairs and get out of her sight, and I will persuade you." ā
