Chapter 260: Spring Worm City Shennong Festival (2)
Although he knew that the Tiger Linghuo looked quite kind, Cao Gao knew that the Tiger Linghuo was in a state of cultivation now, and he didn't dare to let these children continue to disturb the Tiger Linghuo, so he arranged for the soldiers to send these children back to their respective fathers and mothers, and let those soldiers guard this place well, and don't let the idlers and others get close. It's no joke to anger the demon beasts in cultivation.
Fang Zixuan and the others followed Cao Gao into the City Lord's Mansion.
When he came to the hall, Fang Zixuan saw a large round table in the middle.
"Master Yuan, please sit on the main seat. Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seat. Cao Gao said.
"Lord Cao, we are all guests, so please be the master. Yuan Zihan said.
Yuan Zihan knew what Cao Gao meant, he was thinking that he was just an ordinary person, so he wanted to give up the throne to himself, because among several people, even if his cultivation and seniority were the highest.
"This, let's ask Yuan Shangzhi to be the master. Cao Gao said.
"City Lord Cao, we are not the elders in the gate, so you don't have to be so polite to us, not to mention that we have to borrow here for a few days, how can we take the lead, City Lord Cao, please take a seat." Yuan Zihan said.
"This. Cao Gao hesitated.
"City Lord Cao, Senior Sister Yuan is right, you should be the master, otherwise Senior Sister Yuan and I can only go to the inn outside to stay. Fang Zixuan said.
"Since the two masters said so, then I will dare to do it. After Cao Gao finished speaking, he walked to the main seat and sat down.
Fang Zixuan and Yuan Zihan sat down on Cao Gao's right, and the other six people also sat down in order.
The other four people who followed Cao Gao sat down on Cao Gao's left.
When everyone was seated, Cao Gao slapped his palms, and then a group of maids in pink breast-length skirts walked in with a plate of dishes.
Soon, this large round table was filled with all kinds of dishes, although they were all food from the ordinary world, but they were also made with color and aroma, and as for the taste, it must be that the ability of the chef of the City Lord's Mansion was also excellent.
Originally, Cao Gao had prepared a large table of dishes for the Tiger Linghuo alone, but seeing that the Tiger Linghuo was now in cultivation, he didn't mention it.
After serving the food, the women did not retreat, but stood behind Fang Zixuan and the others with wine jugs.
"Yuan Shang, Fang Shang, first introduce the two of you. Cao Gao pointed to a literati beside him: "This is Guo No, the chief secretary of Guo Guo, who is responsible for the household registration, commerce, taxes, salaries and all financial matters of Chunyu City. ”
"I've seen Yuan Shang, Fang Shang. Master Guo clasped his fists at Yuan Zihan and Fang Zixuan and saluted.
"Master Guo. Yuan Zihan and Fang Zixuan clasped their fists and saluted.
"This is the chief bookkeeper of Xun Qixun, who is responsible for the civil construction of Chunyu City, fishing and farming. Cao Gao pointed to a literati next to Guo No.
"I've seen Yuan Shang, Fang Shang. Master Xun also saluted Yuan Zihan and Fang Zixuan with his fists
"Master Xun is thin. Yuan Zihan and Fang Zixuan returned the salute with their fists in return.
"This is Cheng Tongcheng's chief bookkeeper, responsible for the ceremony of Spring Glory City and the selection of personnel. Therefore, this Shennong Festival is the responsibility of Master Cheng throughout the whole process. Cao Gao pointed to the third literati.
Cheng Tong, Yuan Zihan, and Fang Zixuan hugged each other's fists and saluted.
"The last one is General Xiahou Fei, who is responsible for the Xing trial, defense, soldiers, and weapon building of Chunyu City. Cao Gao pointed to a thick-eyed man in armor.
Xiahou Fei, Yuan Zihan, and Fang Zixuan clasped their fists and saluted each other.
"For so many years, the Spring Leap City has been able to develop safely and safely, in addition to the protection of Qingyunmen, it is the credit of these four. Cao Gao said.
"The lord of the city has won the prize. The four of them said in unison.
After Fang Zixuan heard the names of these people, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart: It seems that this Five Elements Continent is indeed very interesting, Guo No, Xun Qi, Cheng Tong, Xiahou Fei, plus a Cao Gao, this is a copy of Cao Ying.
"Serve the wine. Cao Gao said.
At this time, the maid standing behind everyone poured a glass of wine for Fang Zixuan and the others.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the best white old wine in our Spring Sprout City, it is brewed with the high-quality millet grown in Chunyu City and the spring water on the White Mountain, for ordinary people, it has the effect of fitting the muscles and bones into the bone marrow and strengthening the spleen and stomach, so it is also known as the skull wine (Note: it is the skeleton of the bones, not the skeleton of the skeleton, don't look away). Cao Gao said.
"Oh, Skullwine, that's a kind of scary name. Yuan Zihan said with a smile.
"Yuan Shangzhi, although its alias sounds a little scary, but its effect is very real, the reason why our people in Chunyu City are stronger and live longer than others is because of the skull wine, so many people in other places have traveled thousands of miles to buy it. City Lord Cao smiled.
"Senior Brother Fang, what City Lord Cao said is right, although it is still a little worse than the spirit wine, it should be among the best among all wines, at least much better than the wine I have drunk in my hometown. Xiao Huo said with a smile.
"Oh, I'm going to have a taste of it. Fang Zixuan said with a smile.
Looking at the cup of black brown and bright wine in his hand, the wine was not overflowing, so he took a sip gently.
"The wine is rich, mellow, slightly bitter and endless, this skull wine is really good. Fang Zixuan's eyes lit up.
Yuan Zihan also smiled after taking a sip: "Senior Brother Fang is right, this wine is good." ”
"Since it's good, then I would like to give you a glass and wish you all a smooth journey. City Lord Cao smiled.
"Thank you, City Lord Cao, for your good words. Fang Zixuan and the others raised their wine glasses with a smile, and everyone drank it all.
The maids in the back poured wine for everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please try them, these are the special dishes of our Spring Castle. City Lord Cao smiled.
Because considering that the people here are not familiar, especially there is a woman here, a pair of male chopsticks are placed in front of everyone, fortunately, otherwise Yuan Zihan really wouldn't dare to get off the chopsticks. It didn't matter when he was with Fang Zixuan, Fang Zifeng, Su Lang and others, but with others, Yuan Zihan would have a sense of resistance.
Everyone was eating vegetables and drinking and chatting about the customs of Chunyu City, as well as some things about this Shennong Festival.
At this time, Fang Zixuan and Yuan Zihan knew that because this Shennong Festival was a big festival once every ten years, they had to prepare for ten days, and now it has been prepared to the sixth day.
This is because this ten-year festival is not only attended by people from Chunyu City, but also by people from nearby and distant villages and small towns who will travel thousands of miles to participate, and now it has reached most of the people, and it is estimated that a small number of people will also arrive in the next two days.
There are still people who trekked from afar to participate, Fang Zixuan couldn't help but sigh again in his heart The charm of Shennong of the Five Elements Continent has passed, even if I don't know how many eras have passed, but there are still so many descendants who still miss Shennong's kindness, presumably Shennong's spirit in the sky will also feel gratified.
