Liang Qingshan, Li Qingtong and a group of seven people crossed the backyard and came to an arch on the west side.

After walking about seventy or eighty steps, I came to a "ten" corridor, turned right and walked north for a while, and began to smell the aroma of food. A large number of white-clothed disciples walked towards this side from three directions, a group of three or five people, a group of seven or eight people, seeing the seven of them coming over, many people knew the famous male god-level figure of the fifth senior brother, and couldn't help but look at them, and greeted Liang Qingshan familiarly. After walking another seventy or eighty steps, they saw an arch again, and saw the words "dining hall" written on it, and the aroma of the meal became stronger, and they involuntarily quickened their pace. Walking into the arch, I saw a quadrangle courtyard more than ten zhang square, a circle of circular corridors with a wide circle of green tiles and red bricks.

Zhong Qinghuo took the lead and rushed to the door of the oncoming row of halls, took out a pile of golden five-pointed palm-shaped leaves from his arms, counted seven, and handed them to the two white-clothed women standing next to the door. However, the eyes of the two white-clothed women fell behind Zhong Qinghuo, and their beautiful eyes stared at the personable Liang Qingshan and Chu Qingtai with a smile, and they didn't notice him at all.

"Meal ticket!"

Zhong Qinghuo shouted, and his voice collapsed with obvious dissatisfaction.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" they took the meal ticket, but immediately greeted Liang Qingshan, "Hello Fifth Senior Brother! Who is this Senior Brother of Yushu Linfeng?"

"In Xia Chu Qingtai, in Meixiang Peak to cultivate. ”

"Oh! It turned out to be the senior brother under the seat of the Fourth Master, and I am fortunate to meet him. As they spoke, they waved their hands, and their eyes fell on Lin Qingxie and Li Qingtong again. "This pair of little junior brothers and sisters are so beautiful, they are a pair of golden boys and girls, what about the meal tickets for the two of you?"

"Didn't this just give it to you?" Zhong Qing said angrily.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you gave two more adult tickets. The two of them said, and hurriedly took out two to return to Zhong Qinghuo. "Sorry, child tickets cannot be substituted for adult tickets. ”

"Why can't you replace the small with the big?" asked Li Qingtong. In my previous life, I took a plane to take the high-speed rail and visited the Forbidden City amusement park, but I only knew that children's tickets could not replace adult tickets, and I had never heard that adult tickets could not replace children's tickets.

"Little junior brother, your age is the stage of building the foundation of the hidden yuan, you can't just eat ordinary adult meals, the dining room is specially prepared and added for junior brothers and sisters like you, so the meal tickets are not only different, but also more valuable. The female disciple of the guard explained to him.

The meal tickets of several disciples of Ethereal Peak are usually managed by Zhong Qinghuo, who is "food for the sky". Liang Qingshan also instructed him yesterday to prepare more children's tickets from today. Now it seems that Zhong Qinghuo must have forgotten about this again, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Liang Qingshan was about to open his mouth to ask, but he heard Chu Qingtai say:

"Two junior sisters, are you two still on duty at night?" asked Qingtai.

"yes!"

"Let me tell you a way, do you think it's okay? Let the two junior brothers and sisters use adult tickets instead. Shall we exchange the children's tickets for dinner?"

The two young women glanced at each other and said, "Since this handsome senior brother has spoken, then that's it." ”

"It turns out that the appearance can really be eaten as a meal!" Zhong Qinghuo muttered, "Let's go, little junior brother!" After speaking, he grabbed Li Qingtong's hand and walked into the dining hall quickly, and a strong smell of food immediately rushed towards him.

"Ahh

Li Qingtong's mouth opened wide in surprise, and his eyes widened. For he saw that it was full of meat, and that there were fowls and beasts, and that there were flesh and fish. Aren't people who worship the Tao mainly vegetarian and eat less meat? But look at these young people who are eating in twos and threes, their faces are full of normal smiles, and none of them show strange expressions, but Zhong Qinghuo? Looking at his demeanor, he is not only ecstatic, but he is simply salivating.

"Little junior brother, today is the 'Open Meat Festival', you can choose what you want to eat, there are no taboos. Zhong Qinghuo said happily.

Li Qingtong looked at it carefully. I saw that this dining hall is composed of more than ten spacious halls connected together, about ten zhang long from east to west, and every other zhang there is a pair of red columns supporting a beam, and there is no partition wall in the middle. In the hall, more than a dozen rows of yellow wood long tables are placed horizontally in the north and south, and two rows of green bamboo stools are placed on both sides of each row of long tables. The entire dining hall is large enough for three or four hundred people to eat at the same time. So they found a quiet corner against the wall.

Xu Qingjiang said: "Senior Brother Qingxie, you just sit here and take a seat, a few of us will go to serve rice and vegetables, what do you like to eat?"

"Then there are senior brothers, the fourteenth senior brother knows what I like to eat. Lin Qingxie said.

"Ha! It's still a buffet!" Li Qingtong said with a smile. There are meat and vegetarian dishes, which suit his appetite, so he happily followed Zhong Qinghuo to the dining table, took a brown wood tray, a white porcelain bowl and two white porcelain plates, and was about to pick up food.

Chu Qingtai said: "Everyone, wait, today is not only the Autumn Festival, but also the day of the young junior brother of the young boy to climb the mountain, we also want to celebrate, don't eat separately, let's have a meal together!"

Liang Qingshan said: "The fourteenth junior brother is reasonable, this lunch is indeed very meaningful, let's take the plate and choose the dishes together." ”

Zhong Qinghuo said: "There are seven of us, we have to choose at least ten dishes, right?"

Xu Qingjiang said: "'Food is the sky'! I'm not afraid of killing you?"

Zhong Qinghuo said: "If one of these people in the dining hall is strangled to death, then it should be your 'two layers of skin' in the first place!"

Chu Qingtai said: "How about we choose a big dish that we like to eat first?

Ma Qinghe said: "The fourteenth junior brother is reasonable. ”

Zhong Qinghuo said: "I'll have a milk phosphine first." Then he shoveled a roast suckling pig with a full head and tail with a shovel, and put it on his long flat porcelain plate.

Ma Qinghe said: "I want the dragon nephew to smoke three things." He took a two-fist-sized beast head, a two-pronged beast tail, and a one-foot-long clawed thin beast leg, and all three of them slipped away, and there was not much meat to look at.

Xu Qingjiang said: "I'm simple, lightly fried like a plate of meat." ”

Chu Qingtai said: "I'll choose a steamed small thin fish, and then choose half a fruit wood grilled hook for Xiao Sixteen." In Li Qingtong's eyes, it was simply a roast duck or roast chicken with a slender tail. The so-called thin fish is a one-eyed yellow eel.

Liang Qingshan said: "I'll choose braised armadillo meat." Senior Brother Qingtong, what kind of meat do you usually like to eat?"

Qingtong said: "I like to eat venison. ”

Liang Qingshan said: "Then choose a sauce for you." ”

"Okay!"

Li Qingtong replied, but he thought in his heart: This Qingyang faction is really a bit tricky! Obviously, it is a pig, a chicken, a deer, and a fish, but he has come up with these strange names, and none of them have been heard of by himself. was wondering, but heard Chu Qingtai say:

"Everyone, are you almost? Hurry up and choose a vegetarian dish! I want a plate of stir-fried fresh bamboo shoots. ”

I finally heard the name of a dish I'd heard of. Li Qingtong thought to himself.

Liang Qingshan said: "Fourteenth junior brother, don't worry, let's borrow the light of the two little junior brothers Qingtong and Qingxie today, and add vegetables." The vegetables are either fruits or wild vegetables, all of which are vegetarian. ”

"What's the addition to today's children's meal?" Xu Qingjiang asked.

The fat brother who was in charge of the meal pointed to a green wooden board next to him with the name of the dish written on it, and then said:

"I usually add three kinds of vegetables every day, but today for the holidays, I added three more. This Xiangshan grape is actually the grass fruit on the Shaocheng Mountain in Zhongzhou, which has the effect of nourishing the brain and intellect, and can make people more intelligent when eaten; this black is the emperor body fruit of Zhongzhou Shaomu Mountain, which can make people calm down and not get angry when eaten; this is the seed pod bean on the Ganzao Mountain in Jizhou, which nourishes the liver and eyes, and can make people look good when eaten; this is the sunflower pod bean on Gaoliang Mountain in Yuzhou, which can not only make the horse run, but also make people walk like flying; this mixed Jiarong grass comes from the half-stone mountain of the Central Plains, which is correct and good for gall, and can make people not afraid of thunder and lightning; the last one is new, the shellfish in Lishui by the West Sea, which is mainly used to strengthen the spleen and stomach and prevent abdominal distention。 That's all there are six. ”

Liang Qingshan said: "We have two junior disciples who are building the foundation, each of them can serve two plates, right?"

According to the rules of today's festival, each person can choose three plates. Fat Senior Brother said.

"That's right, let's have a plate of six things!" Liang Qingshan said.

The fat senior brother said: "Today's festival, I also specially added Bai Yan three-flavor real fruit wine, the degree is very low, you can be tired and tired, do you want to come to Hu?"

Liang Qingshan said: "Then let's have a while." ”

"Don't wait. ”

After speaking, the fat brother turned around and went in to get the children's extra meal, these were obviously not placed in the buffet outside, it seems that they are really specially prepared for children and teenagers, and they are afraid that they will be snatched up outside.

"Come on!"

In the blink of an eye, the fat senior brother brought out six plates of mountain grass and tree fruits, plus the fried fresh bamboo shoots from Qingtai, and made up seven meat and seven vegetables. Everyone brought it together and swung it there, not only the taste was fragrant, but also a bit of a dazzling feeling. He poured five jade cups of Baiyun three-flavor real fruit wine, poured a cup of green pure fruit drink for each of the Qingtong Qingxie, and was ready to let go of his appetite to eat and drink.
