Section 3 First visit to Yuqing Peak
Grandma's doubts didn't last long. On the second day, the little official of Ximen brought back the kelp, soaked it in water, and then slipped it, and made a big pot of seaweed egg drop soup. The little mustard in grandma's heart was soon shocked by the food, and it was the first time that grandma was in her 70s who drank such a delicious soup. No matter what happened to the grandson, it was not a bad thing after all, since there was no way to solve it, let him go. The grandson's health is fine, and he is as kind and filial as ever, what else can grandma ask for.
Ximen Feng's heart began to calculate, the world is not peaceful, not to mention that there are frictions between the four countries of the Central Plains from time to time, that is, the local Hanhai country is large, and the area that has been developed is only less than forty percent. Don't talk about the alien beasts and evil people, they are ordinary bandits, who want to protect the important people in their hearts from them, and the little official of Simon asks himself if he has this ability. He was peaceful by nature, but after this incident, his values were impacted. Ximen Feng wants to practice martial arts, so at the moment in Taikang Town, the most ideal opportunity is to worship the Mu family.
Although Mu Tianchu asked Ximen Feng to visit the shogunate when he was in better health, he couldn't save face when he went to the door for the first time and left empty-handed. Ximen Feng squinted at the remaining kelp soup in the pot, and counted it in his heart.
Early the next morning, Yun Xiaoguan asked the little servant Qin Yu to find a magnetic urn, filled with kelp soup, and Shi Shiran went to the shogunate. However, after asking the gatehouse, I learned that the courtyard, which was larger than the original Simon family, was only the façade of the shogunate, and ordinary people who wanted to visit the house had to report one day in advance, and the next day they asked if they were allowed to go up the mountain and enter the courtyard.
The little official of Ximen was shocked, and couldn't help but sigh about the heritage of the martial arts family. Fortunately, Mu Tianchu returned that day and informed the porter that if there were small officials from the west gate of the city who came to visit, they needed to be sent up the mountain with courtesy. Immediately, there were disciples who led the way, but along the way, they were very curious about the magnetic urn in the hands of the little servant Qin Yu, and it was inconvenient to ask each other out of courtesy.
I don't know why, it stands to reason that a pampered young master like the little official of Ximen should be the one with poor physical strength, but Qin Yu rested twice along the way, and then looked at the little official of Ximen who was not tired. The disciple secretly admired in his heart, and had the intention of making friends, thinking that it was more difficult for him to go up the mountain than Qin Yu at the beginning. The mountain road is full of stone steps all the way, which is not difficult to walk, but this Cuiyun Mountain is towering into the clouds, and there are really strict requirements for physical fitness to go up the mountain. Seeing that Qin Yu was panting like a dog, the Ximen petty official took the porcelain urn and sent him back first.
Talking all the way, the Ximen junior official knew that the disciple who led the way was named Zhao Ziji, and he had been in the business for more than two years. The two of them talked and laughed, without Qin Yu's oil bottle, the speed was not a little faster, even so, it was already noon when they arrived at the main gate of Yuqing Peak where Mumen was located. Along the way, it took nearly two hours. The reason why Cuiyun Mountain is called Cuiyun Mountain is because of the large green vegetation cover, the reason why Yuqing Peak is called Yuqing Peak, which has a lot to do with Mumen, the whole green mountain range, only this peak is established according to the sect, and people with strong eyesight look at it from afar, just like a piece of jade on a piece of clean jade.
Although they had been prepared in their hearts, the officials of Ximen were still shocked, not to mention the vast area, but the style of the entire building complex, which also made people feel awe-inspired. In this era when production capacity is not so advanced, the building of such a whole sect as if it were a giant fortress is obviously avant-garde, and people unconsciously increase the pressure. The buildings are connected by sitting, and each has 10 floors. An octagonal square is formed around the circle, and in the middle is a large and amazing large square, and there is a tower in the middle of the square, but this tower is only 5 floors, and it cannot be seen from the outside.
When he came back to his senses, the little official of Ximen had entered the main hall and visited Mu Tianchu, and the eldest prince Mu Yunxuan took the youngest brother of the Mu family, only 6-year-old Dui Yundi was also in the palace. When everyone meets, it is indispensable to be polite. Mu Tianchu had already noticed the magnetic urn in Ximen Feng's hand, and he was also curious, and it was the first time he saw someone come to visit him and bring an urn. Ximen Feng saw that Mu Tianchu noticed the things he brought, and took the opportunity to propose to borrow the sect's kitchen to express his feelings. Although Mu Tianchu is more than 140 years old, probably because of his strong health, he still maintains a fiery temper and curiosity that does not lose to young people, otherwise he would not have chased three days and nights in a rage to avenge the Ximen family. Ximen Feng entered the kitchen with his front foot, and he followed with his back foot, Mu Yunxuan also pulled Xiao Yundi to follow behind, and watched curiously as Ximen Xiaoguan was busy cooking.
A tempting fragrance wafts in, and people can't help but move their index fingers. After a while, four bowls of fragrant kelp egg drop soup appeared on the kitchen stove. Ximen Feng invited everyone to taste, but found that the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward. Mu Tianchu coughed and said, "With Ximen Xian's nephew as a person, the old man believes that there is no problem with this soup, Xuan'er, Xiaodi, let's try it together." Although I don't know what kind of green vegetables are in the soup, it is obvious that Mu Tianchu can't stop after taking the first sip, and Mu Yunxuan and Yun Di share a bowl. He tasted it, drooling as he watched Xiao Yundi hula hula swallow the rest of the kelp soup, although it was hot, he showed a very satisfied expression.
"Xiaoyou is really easy to tooth, but I don't know what kind of dish this green dish is, the taste is so delicious and delicious, the old man has lived for more than 100 years, but such a delicious soup is the only one in his life. When he knew that the main ingredient of the soup he drank was actually the sea vegetables used to feed the pigs on weekdays, Mu Tianchu was silent.
Mu Yunxuan quietly poked Ximen Feng: "Brother Ximen, take a step to speak." With that, he pulled Ximen Feng to the outside of the kitchen. Two young men of the same age muttered for a while, and the little official Ximen realized that his actions today were reckless. First of all, I sent gifts to the door, and there were very few people who gave food, no wonder the atmosphere in the kitchen was so awkward just now. You must know that in the palace, before the important people taste the food, there are internal servants to test the poison, although the sect does not come here, but after all, there are concerns in this regard, so everyone rarely gives gifts to food. Again, what is Mu Tianchu's identity, he ate sea vegetables without knowing today, what did he do with sea vegetables, and the sea people fished them to feed the pigs. The naïve Ximen petty official just felt that he was more prominent in cooking, and he wanted to please the elders, but he had a sense of apprehension about the horse's leg being slapped on the horse's leg.
This is Mu Tianchu also walked out of the kitchen, looking not angry, but a little surprised. He saw Ximen Feng's uneasiness and smiled: "Ximen Xiaoyou don't need to be frightened, the old man just wants to ask, can this sea vegetable really be eaten? It's not right..."
"Not at all, the sea vegetables are not only delicious when handled properly, but also can clean up the stomach and intestines, eliminate the fat, and have a certain effect on wind disease, if people do not eat sea salt for a long time, they will get big neck disease, and eating sea vegetables can prevent disease. ”
The more Mu Tianchu listened, the happier he became, stroked his beard happily, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyou, you know that you have done a good deed for the people, don't look at it just to eat more, but this food is better than a lot, it can be picked everywhere by the sea, even if it is a small famine, it can save a lot of lives." What's more, according to what Xiaoyou said, this thing has many benefits for people, but please teach Xiaoyou how to deal with the old man, the old man's son Haiting has a friendship with the university scholar Song Yi, Bachelor Song used to be the second prince and young master, and the student is the current saint, and the advice can be heard directly to the sky. Our Hanhai country is adjacent to the sea in the west, and the sea vegetables are abundant, and it will be a beautiful thing for the benefit of the common people to be advised by him and then promoted by the imperial court. "Ximen Feng is a little moved, an ordinary dish, who can think so far away, only the honest people who really have the world in their hearts can have such a long-term vision.
"But according to Mr.'s instructions, the kid is just good at cooking, and he didn't think of this, if he can really do something for the people of the world, the kid will know everything. ”
