Chapter 409: Joyful Food
The poems spoken by Wu Ming are from the famous calligrapher and painter Zheng Banqiao of the Qing Dynasty.
The original poem is: "Insist that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks." Thousands of blows are still tenacious, and the southeast and northwest winds are restricted. β
The author uses things as metaphors for people and writes about bamboo, but it is those who are indomitable and persevering.
Wu Ming borrowed the first and second lines of this poem to tell Yue Lingshan that love is not easy to come by, and it should be cherished.
As for why he said this poem, Wu Ming knew that the changes were coming soon, and at that time, Yue Buqun's face as a hypocrite would be exposed in front of the world, and Ling Hu Chong's temperament would never be in the same league with Yue Buqun, so Yue Lingshan would be caught between her husband and father, and she would definitely be in a dilemma.
This is the intention of Wu Ming to say this poem, of course, Yue Lingshan should not be able to comprehend it now. Fortunately, this poem can also be interpreted as the meaning of becoming a husband singing with a wife, and being loyal and unswerving, which is also in line with the current situation.
Because it was the Ming Dynasty at this time, Zheng Banqiao's poem was the Qing Dynasty, everyone present listened to Wu Ming reciting it, naturally no one had heard of it, and most of the visitors were rough people who danced knives and guns, so naturally they couldn't understand the meaning contained in it, and the few people who knew poetry only felt that it was catchy and full of deep meaning, and they couldn't help but marvel.
Yue Lingshan was a little surprised in her heart, but she could see the sincerity of the other party in Wu Ming's eyes, and immediately thanked her: "Thank you, Brother Wu, I will remember your words and will definitely not disappoint my husband." β
At this time, I only heard Yue Buqun sigh and say: "Before the next generation, I only knew that Wu Daxia was strong in martial arts, but he was so proficient in poetry, Yue really admired it." Thank you for the Qingshan Sword you gave to Chong'er and for your admonition to Shan'er. β
The implication, in addition to flattering Wu Ming, is actually the meaning of asking Linghu Chong to accept the Qingshan Sword.
Wu Ming said with a smile: "Master Yue praised it falsely, in fact, I don't know poetry at all. Okay, Brother Linghu, you better hurry up and take this Qingshan Sword. β
Ling Hu Chong is actually a free and easy person, it can't be the master and mother, plus this is the wedding day, and this Qingshan Sword is very precious to the person who uses the sword, and some can't let go.
At this time, seeing that Wu Ming was sincere in sending it away, he was no longer hypocritical, immediately took the sword, and arched his hand: "Thank you Wu Daxia for the gift, I will treat this Qingshan Sword well, and I will never insult it." β
Before Ling Hu Chong's words fell, a familiar voice came from Wu Ming's mind.
"Ding Dong~!"
"Congratulations on completing the Book Immortal System Quest [Transfer Sword] and obtaining the reward of Book Immortal Spirit Stone + Book Immortal Point Card (10 points)."
Hearing the prompt that the task was completed, Wu Ming was naturally very happy, but when he thought that the owner of the three Longquan swords had passed away, he not only sighed secretly in his heart. Fortunately, they all have a new owner, that is, Yihe, Yiqing and Yiwen.
Although the gift of the sword was only a small episode, it made many martial arts sects understand that Wu Ming valued Ling Hu Chong, and many people even felt that Wu Ming's relationship with the Huashan faction was far from being as simple as it seemed.
Wu Ming naturally saw the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, and at the same time understood that they might have misunderstood what he meant, but these were of no importance to him at all, because the truth of the facts would be revealed in the near future.
A wine banquet, the guests and hosts are happy.
After the banquet, Wu Ming handed over the notice letter of the Hengshan faction to Yue Buqun, and then left Huashan with Yilin and rushed back to Hengshan overnight.
At this time, there were only two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, and the two did not stop at all on the road, and they were like arrows.
The villages and towns along the way are full of lights, full of joy for the upcoming New Year.
After a long journey of one day and one night, in the evening of the second day, the two finally arrived at the foot of Heng Mountain.
Wu Ming has already reached the realm of returning to the basics due to his internal strength, and although he took Yilin with him along the way, he still didn't feel any tiredness.
But Yilin couldn't, she was already tired and out of breath at this time, so Wu Ming stopped and let Yilin rest.
Sitting on the stone on the side of the road, looking at Wu Ming's calm appearance, Yilin stuck out her tongue and said, "Brother Wu, you are simply a pervert, you took Lin'er with you most of the way, why are you not tired at all?" β
Wu Ming chuckled and said, "The use of internal force is single-minded, and when you cultivate the Nine Yin True Sutra to the highest level, at that time, you won't feel how tired this kind of trek is." β
Yi Lin sighed and said: "Brother Wu, Lin'er's current Nine Yin True Scripture has just started, and the progress is very slow, do you think I'm too stupid?" β
Wu Ming shook his head and smiled: "Silly Lin'er, how can you think so, your qualifications are just right for cultivating the Nine Yin True Sutra, as long as you persevere, you will be able to reach the highest level one day." β
Yi Lin's kung fu can be described as a thousand miles a day during this time, and now in the Hengshan faction, in terms of martial arts alone, except for Wu Ming, she is already the first master to the out-and-out level, and even Yi and Yiqing and others are far from being her opponents.
Yi Lin was very happy when she heard Wu Ming praise herself, and said coquettishly: "Brother Wu, don't worry, I will work hard to cultivate." β
After the two rested and chatted for a while, they came to the peak of seeing sex in one breath.
When all the disciples heard that the head of the sect had returned, they all came over to pay their respects.
Yihe, Yiqing and others reported to Wu Ming about the situation of the Hengshan faction in the past few days.
The disciples of Hengshan who were sent out to convey messages to various factions in the martial arts a few days ago have all returned one after another.
As Wu Ming expected, when these disciples went out to preach the news, they were all despised by different Cheng DΓΉ, and some of them were even verbally insulted.
Wu Ming comforted everyone one by one, and said lightly: "Don't worry, one day, the Hengshan faction will let them look up to the mountains." β
Wu Ming's faint but handsome face carried a domineering aura, which made people inadvertently infected, and all the disciples suddenly said in unison: "Master, we believe in you!" β
This sentence made Wu Ming very happy in his heart, what is more precious than trust, as long as everyone believes in him, he can lead everyone to make the Hengshan faction to glory.
Immediately afterwards, Yihe mentioned the messenger sent by Songshan yesterday.
It turned out that since Zuo Lengchan committed suicide, the position of head of the Songshan faction has been vacant. In the end, who will succeed the head of the Songshan faction, there is a big disagreement among the faction. In the end, Ding Mian turned the tide and won the support of most of the Songshan disciples, and was about to succeed the new head.
And this messenger came to inform the Hengshan faction to participate in the inauguration ceremony of the head of Songshan, and the time was the same as the date of Wu Ming's inauguration, which was chosen on February 16.
Yihe said: "The inauguration ceremony of the new head of the Songshan faction is actually with our Hengshan for a day, obviously trying to steal the limelight of our Hengshan, the head, we can't let the Songshan faction look down on it." β
Wu Ming said lightly: "Don't worry, as long as the disciples of our Hengshan Sect unite as one and unite as one, then no one can look down on us." β
Yihe and the other disciples nodded one after another: "What the head of the sect said is true. β
Immediately afterwards, Wu Ming asked Yu Sister-in-law about the purchase of New Year's goods and new clothes, and Yu Sister-in-law was like a river and reported the results of these days to Wu Ming one by one.
Wu Ming was very satisfied after hearing this, and immediately smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Yu, you have worked hard, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, when the time comes, I will personally cook and cook a good meal for you." β
Sister-in-law Yu was surprised: "Head, you actually know how to cook food?" β
Wu Ming smiled and said, "What, sister-in-law Yu, don't you believe in my craftsmanship?" Well, I'll give you a hand tomorrow. β
There are one hundred and eight dishes in the recipe, more than a dozen of which are Buddhist dishes, and although Wu Ming has firmly remembered the practice of these dishes, he has never had the opportunity to do them.
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, the most important festival for the descendants of China, and it is also the first year that Wu Ming will spend after coming to the world in the book, so he naturally attaches great importance to it, and also wants the disciples to taste the delicious food he made.
When all the disciples heard that the head of the sect was going to cook for everyone personally, they all immediately cheered.
It doesn't matter if it's good or not, but this intention alone moved the hearts of all the disciples.
Yi Lin already knew that Wu Ming's cooking skills were very superb, and the things she made were very delicious, but she didn't know that her sweetheart could actually cook fast food, and after hearing about it at this time, she was also very happy.
Due to the relationship between vegetarian food, Yilin naturally has a soft spot for vegetarian food, although it is still vulgar now, but her habit is still vegetarian.
Wu Mingwan guessed Yi Lin's thoughts, not only glanced at her, but also squeezed his eyes at her, causing Yi Lin not to dare to look at him again, so as not to be teased by the disciples.
The special relationship between Wu Ming and Yilin naturally can't be hidden from the people of the Hengshan faction.
Especially after the non-precept monk came to Hengshan, everyone knew that the non-precept monk regarded Wu Ming as his son-in-law, and Yilin liked Wu Ming, and everyone was not blind, so they could naturally see it.
Lay disciples who have a good relationship with Yi Lin, such as Qin Juan and Zheng Cao, often make fun of her, and often make fun of her and Wu Ming.
These are digressions, so I won't say much about them for now.
Let's talk about the second day, which is Chinese New Year's Eve.
On this day, the disciples of the Hengshan Sect got up early to practice swords as usual, and no one pulled them down, which made Wu Ming very happy in his heart.
Wu Ming inspected everyone's sword practice results these days, although due to the relationship between skill and qualification, the good and the bad were uneven, but he couldn't help but nod his head in approval.
Wu Ming taught three new swordsmanship, which made the disciples of Hengshan very happy and learned harder.
Next, this reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve made the disciples of the Hengshan Sect look forward to it.
Wu Ming was not ambiguous, and began to prepare ingredients with his sister-in-law and others early.
In ancient times, there was a scarcity of ingredients, and it was completely incomparable to modern times.
But Wu Ming also felt a good thing about ancient times, that is, each ingredient is so original and tasteful, without any pesticide residues and additives.
When the dishes with all the colors and aromas were put on the table, all the disciples of the Hengshan Sect were stunned, this was simply a perfect work of art.
Wu Ming made more than a dozen dishes in the recipe, such as Xiaoyao vegetarian chicken, Xiaoyao Luo hamburger, Xiaoyao vegetarian pork ribs, etc., each of which is unique and shows the charm of Xiaoyao.
