Meng Zheng, who was reprimanded by his mother Liu Qian'er for most of the day, secretly escaped while his mother was asleep in the hall.

He found Meng Qiuling in the garden, and then took Meng Qiuling to the Luyin Hall in the southeast to meet the great protector of Xuanmen, Du Jinyue.

This Du Jinyue, who was nearly half a hundred years old at the time, had black hair and eyes. The old lady and Wu Zhaofeng are both elders, he is so easy-going, and now in the face of the two juniors, he shows that bearing all over his body, but he is very majestic.

Meng Zheng had just made a mistake and was still stunned, but after seeing him, he was naturally more respectful: "The Great Dharma Protector is good." ”

Meng Qiuling didn't care, strode forward, smiled, and arched her hand: "Du Da Protector, fortunately!" ”

Xiao Tianxue ran away, and Du Jinyue had not yet entered the Xuanmen. Of course he didn't know about Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Liu. It is well known that the owner of the door has an only child, but there are many rumors that the owner of the door has an extra daughter here, so he doesn't treat him very well.

Meng Zheng is a stupid child, and he introduced: "Great Protector, this is my good friend Qiu Ling." ”

Du Jinyue stared at Meng Qiuling, glanced at the previous and the next, and after reading it, she asked, "Do you really only have the surname 'Qiu'?" ”

Meng Qiuling's indifferent red lips grinned slightly, revealing a good-looking angle and said to Du Jinyue: "Uncle Du's eyesight is so good, of course I can see that my surname is 'Meng', not 'Qiu'." ”

When Meng Zheng heard this, he was surprised: "Ah, this...... What's going on? ”

Du Jinyue sighed and said to him: "Young master, if there is no accident in a few days, she is your sister who has been lost for many years." ”

Meng Zheng's mind is as weak as Meng Zheng's congenitally not good body, and it takes him a long time to understand such a relationship.

Du Jinyue didn't have the patience to wait, Meng Qiuling always smiled and stood so calmly, he had to take the initiative to ask: "I don't know that Miss Meng is so big, come here, what is the matter with Du?" ”

Meng Qiuling said: "I want to find the Du Great Protector to learn from the Du family's mastery." ”

Meng Zheng was surprised: "You want to challenge the Great Protector?" ”

When Du Jinyue heard this, she was also suspicious.

Meng Qiuling walked back and forth in front of them with her hands behind her back, stopped and said, "Brother Zheng, do you know what Uncle Du's ancestors did?" ”

Meng Zheng shook his head. He doesn't like to read every day, he doesn't like to practice, he just likes to sleep lazy, or he goes to fight crickets, he doesn't care about the affairs of Xuanmen, and he is not interested in things on the rivers and lakes. He didn't know much about Du Jinyue, and of course he didn't know what the ancestors of the Du family did.

Du Jinyue said: "Miss Meng has something to say, in front of the old man, you don't need to go around such a circle." ”

Meng Qiuling said: "Uncle Du is very straightforward, so I'm not welcome." In the next Su Wen Du family ancestors are good at cooking, in the past crazy knife Du Boyang is known as "half of the sleeve cage of the world's delicious", whether it is Lu cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Su cuisine, or Hunan cuisine, Hubei cuisine, Hui cuisine, it is famous, and it is made on the table. Therefore, I want to learn from Du Da Protector. ”

Meng Zheng opened his mouth wide, looked at Du Jinyue and said, "Great Protector, you actually know how to cook?" ”

Du Jinyue was also surprised, looked at Meng Qiuling and said: "You actually know so much about my affairs, you are not bad at all, the mad knife Du Boyang is the ancestor of the old man." It's just that this cooking, I don't know which one the young lady wants to compare? ”

"Assorted tofu!"

"Good!" Du Jinyue immediately shouted. This assorted tofu is a famous dish in Huaiyang cuisine, take half a foot square of salt-marinated tofu cut 400 knives vertically, cut 400 knives horizontally, and stew with chicken, winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and vegetable leaves. The selection of ingredients for this dish is not complicated, but the difficulty lies in this knife method. A whole piece of tofu should be cut horizontally 400 times and vertically 400 times, so that each piece of tofu is as thin as a hair without destroying the original shape. Even an old chef who has been trained for decades has to work hard to do it. This Miss Meng Qiuling actually proposed this dish, it seems that she doesn't dare to open this mouth without any ability.

The two of them immediately went to the kitchen together.

It was the first time that the people of Lu Yin Hall had heard that the Great Protector could actually cook. In addition, it is rumored that it is very likely that the eldest lady's girl will come to challenge, and everyone flocks to it. I saw that the boards in the courtyard were lined up, Du Jinyue and Meng Qiuling were standing on one side, and two pieces of tofu were placed in front of them. The head of the kitchen, Lao Mo, found a gong, struck it, and the two of them took a knife to cut it at the same time.

If you want to say that this Du Jinyue's knife is as fast as the wind, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is as fast as the wind, and it is really suitable for cutting tofu. I saw that the kitchen knife had become a knife shadow, and it was cut all the way on the tofu, and after a while, the four hundred strokes had been completed. He turned his face to look at Meng Qiuling, that is, after a pause, Meng Qiuling's four hundred strokes could be completed.

Du Jinyue knew that this little girl was still a cut behind herself, but at her age, whether her knife skills could become like this quickly, she really didn't know. And others only look at the tofu, the two of them almost finished together, the shape of the tofu has not changed at all, everyone will not really be so detailed to see who is first and who is last, and the left and right together immediately applauded. Du Jinyue leisurely cut the second four hundred knives, grasped the heat and completed it with Meng Qiuling. Two people put the chicken in the pot, and put in the condiments, after the water boiled, the tofu was put into the pot, hooked the starch, and after a while, two bowls of tofu soup were completed.

Lao Mo tasted it and praised it, "It's delicious!" Du Jinyue also tasted it, and felt that what Meng Qiuling did was really unique compared to what she made.

Meng Qiuling said, "Uncle Du, how is it?" If you think your niece is good, how about we continue? ”

"Okay." Du Jinyue was full of interest, how could she tolerate interruption, and immediately agreed without thinking.

In this way, they fought Su cuisine, Hui cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and fought back and forth, from noon to evening. Meng Zheng and the people from Lu Yintang gathered around the table, and their stomachs were round. The head of the kitchen, Lao Mo, came over and said to the two: "Master, eldest lady, the ingredients in the kitchen, okay, are all tossed for the two of you." ”

The two of them stopped.

Meng Zheng saw that it was really late, and hurriedly offered to leave.

Because every dish will be tasted, Du Jinyue and Meng Qiuling are also full, and at this moment, Du Jinyue is about to invite Meng Qiuling and him to the main hall. The pungency of the lady in Liu Xinyuan, Du Jinyue knows it well. Since Meng Zheng was leaving, of course Du Jinyue would not stop him. The housekeeper of Lu Yin Hall was sent to the young master, and then, Du Jinyue invited Meng Qiuling to the main hall alone. The next person served tea, Du Jinyue invited Meng Qiuling to drink tea, and then said: "The eldest lady has put so much effort into it, it's not just to make friends with Du, right?" ”

Meng Qiuling said: "Uncle Du knows: even if I don't test my relatives, I will definitely be my father's daughter." ”

Du Jinyue pondered deeply, and after a while, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she stood up, clasped her hands together, and gave Meng Qiuling a deep salute: "My subordinates have seen the eldest lady." ”

Meng Qiuling hurriedly came to help: "Uncle Du, you are too polite. The two sides sat down again, and Meng Qiuling said: "The head of the Beiyi Sect and Uncle Du's family have a deep friendship, if Uncle Du talks to the head of Wu before tomorrow, I believe that the head of Wu will not hide his thoughts under his two hands because of others." ”

"Oh." Du Jinyue listened carefully and was noncommittal for a while.

"No matter what method Master Wu uses, once it is determined that I am in contact with my father's father and daughter, I have one thing, and I really want to entrust you to Uncle Du."

What the hell is this, as soon as Meng Qiuling said it, Du Jinyue was quite shocked: "No." ”

"As for it!" Meng Qiuling's eyes were still very innocent, and she unconsciously covered a melancholy shadow, "Uncle Du, when my mother was here, she was imprisoned by the Xiao family's family style and everyone's beautiful cultivation. She has the ability, the reason, and the true feelings of my father, but she is always invincible. was designed, framed, and finally had to write a letter of resignation by himself, and then decided to leave. Staring at Du Jinyue, these melancholy eyes were still shining brightly because of the original clarification, "Don't worry, I only want to recognize my relatives, not revenge." Your request for Uncle Du is only to ask Uncle Du to help when there is injustice. Speaking of this, she left her seat and came to Du Jinyue, deeply blessed, "Qiu Ling Bucai, first of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Uncle Du for the help he can give." For Qiu Ling herself, and for Qiu Ling, she doesn't know how to do it to really protect her mother. ”

Du Jinyue was moved and hurriedly helped her up.

Wu Zhaofeng stayed in the Yinhui Hall of the Green Bamboo Garden, which was separated by a green bamboo garden.

At that time, the housekeeper came to report: "Master, Mrs. Liu asks to see you." ”

Seeing this, Wu Zhaofeng knew that it was powerful. However, since he has already come here, right and wrong are counted. How can you escape?

Liu Qian'er prepared a lot of gifts, and heard the housekeeper come out of it: "Madam, Master Wu is invited." "Command your subordinates at the moment and send the gift boxes one by one.

These gift boxes were opened one by one in the hall, and Wu Zhaofeng came over, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but exclaim again and again.

"Oh my God, is this a wild ginseng that has been growing for more than 80 years? Look at this body color, look at this texture, tsk, the human appearance is about to grow. ”

"Oh yo, what is this, this, this Ganoderma lucidum? I've grown so big, I haven't seen a Ganoderma lucidum that looks like this, how can it be the same as the clouds under the fairy's feet? But the color is so good, and the smell is very authentic. ”

"Cordyceps! This fat and big Cordyceps was harvested from the northwest? How much does it cost? ”

Liu Qian'er chuckled: "Master Wu, like these things, as long as the Northern Medical Sect where you are located has a very close relationship with my Xuanmen, it is as much as you want." "Pick up a small box of heaven-level cordyceps in the gift box, "When Qinghu's Trobutenzing went to Beijing, he passed Ninggu and arrived in our sphere of influence. The security is all the responsibility of my family's owner. Now the relationship between the northwest and Qiandu is very good, and the king of Qinghu goes to Beijing once a year to face the saint, coming and going, how can this be bad with the relationship between our Xuanmen? ”

"This cordyceps?"

"The private belongings of the King of Qinghu."

"Oh!"

"Even if there is money in Beiyimen, in the hands of the medicine farmers, they will definitely not be able to buy it."

Wu Zhaofeng's old face suddenly darkened.

"Above the thousand-mile snow line, how many can be collected, all of them have entered the Qinghu Palace."

Wu Zhaofeng stretched out his hand uncontrollably, took the heaven-level cordyceps in his hand, pinched it for a long time, and tried his best to control it before he put it down.

Liu Qian'er didn't let him go, and continued: "The wild mountains in Liaodong are good, this is recognized. Like this one," she picked up the ginseng that had already taken on a human form, "a treasure in the heavenly level, an old ginseng who has lived in the mountains for decades may not be able to come across it once or twice in his life." It is also surnamed Meng who has a deep roots in Liaodong, so we can get it. Wu Ye, the doctors of the Northern Medical Sect are all superb, and Wu Ye is a holy hand. However, no matter how good the medical skills are, medicine is still an important key to treating patients. ”

Wu Zhaofeng kept rubbing his hands and pacing back and forth. Walking and rubbing, I really want to make a statement, but I am controlled by myself. After controlling himself, he had to give up these top-notch medicinal materials, which made him very reluctant. After more than 20 trips, he asked Liu Qian'er: "Mrs. Liu, what do you want me to do when you show me this?" ”

Liu Qian'er thought that she had moved him, and she was confident, so she said what was in her heart: "The girl who suddenly came to Xuanmen to confess her relatives, she is a person with bad intentions. Not to mention whether there is a father-daughter relationship with the head of my family, after so many years, shouldn't the time when you need to recognize your relatives the most when you are a child? For mothers need to be taken care of, daughters also need to be cared for! It's just at this time that it came! ”

Staring at Wu Zhaofeng's face and observing Wu Zhaofeng's expression, Liu Qian'er continued to know about "reason": "Xuanmen is in the hands of my husband Meng Shenshan, and it has developed for nearly twenty years, and now how powerful it is, I don't need to say it, you should also know Master Wu." The past is the past, and the big waves have washed the sand, and it is all the eternal romance. Living in the present, I, you, are still only focused on the present. For example, these - " She waved her hand towards those heaven-level medicinal materials, "The Northern Medical Sect and the Southern Medical Sect, whether it is technology or medicine, for so long, the Northern Medical Sect has always been superior to the orthodoxy, which should also be recognized by fellow martial artists all over the world." “

"The Xuanmen cannot be shaken." She tried her best to make her eyes like Meng Shenshan, who could shoot a shocking Limang, "A girl of unknown origin, and such ill-intentioned, I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of Xuanmen's hard work so far, and it will not be beneficial to the future at all-Chunhui Hall recognizes relatives, Wu Ye, you know what to do, oh?" ”
