Chapter 14 Eating is the joy of the world
A slice of fish rattles.
Thin white green onions, bright red crushed peppers, three or two thin bay leaves.
The heat rises on the iron plate, mixed with the freshness of the fish and the aroma of the ingredients.
The tender white meat turned burnt red, Su Qi quickly stretched out his chopsticks, turned over, squeezed out a little sauce from the small bottle at hand, and wiped the fish meat with chopsticks.
Turn it over again, fry it for only a moment, then quickly pick it up and put it in your mouth.
The crispy crust has a perfect texture, and the flavors of the sauce and toppings soak into the piping hot meat, and when you enter the mouth, you can quickly chew a few times, and slide from the tip of the tongue through the esophagus and into the stomach, full of happiness.
"How's that? I guess this fish is delicious. ”
Wei Jue looked at Su Qi's satisfied expression and was very happy.
"Not bad, not bad. Su Qi sandwiched another piece of fish, this cook's knife work is also excellent, the fish is evenly sliced, the thickness is just right, it will not be more easy to burn, and it will not be less difficult to cook.
"In other places, most of the fish is boiled and stewed, and then grilled, but I didn't expect to eat sizzling fish here. ”
"This is a major feature of Lin'an, if you eat Lujiang herring, this Jiushengju must come. Wei Jue took a pot of wine, poured two glasses in a small bowl, pushed one to Su Qi, and kept one for himself, "Try this wine, the store brews it itself, and it is served with fish and meat, just right." ”
"What about mine?" Zhao Riyue blinked.
Wei Jue was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Qi, "Can she drink?"
"Hey, hey!" Zhao Riyue knocked on his chopsticks, very dissatisfied, "I'm a monk of the Spirit Sea Realm!
Wei Jue patted his head, took another cup, poured it and handed it over, "There are two children in the family, a few years younger than the girl, and I unknowingly treat you as an ordinary person, forgetting that you are the same as me, both are in the Linghai Realm." ”
"They haven't cultivated?" Su Qi asked curiously.
"No," Wei Jue took a sip of the wine in his glass and poured it full, "Actually, I don't want them to step into the cultivation. ”
"Rather than being ruthless, it is better to be peaceful in the world, I know your thoughts. Su Qi raised his glass.
Wei Jue clinked glasses with him, "You're really not a bad person. ”
"That's why you invited me to dinner today?" Su Qi poured out a little wine on the plate, rolled it with the fish, and then put it on the iron plate.
"Yes...... The city lord has a life, I had to make a move yesterday, but it was actually against my will, I heard early today that you have been released by Elder Zhu of the Shanshui Sect, and you will help the city lord's mansion to do things, so I came here to make amends. ”
Wei Jue raised his glass with both hands, bowed his head slightly, and then drank it all, "After all, you didn't eat the fish that day." ”
"I don't think the fish in the inn is as good as here. Su Qi toasted another glass, Zhao Riyue took advantage of his drinking, took away the piece of fish dipped in wine with a chopstick, swallowed it in one gulp, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a new continent, poured all the wine in the cup on the plate, picked up the fish and rolled around.
"You can eat," Wei Jue glanced at Zhao Riyue, learned to make a slice, and then boasted, "I brought some wine mellow!"
"Eating is the joy of the world. ”
"It's just human. ”
Su Qi's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and he glanced at Wei Jue in surprise, "What's the matter, do you regret stepping into the path of cultivation?"
"It's not a ......," Wei Jue's face was melancholy, "It's just that I thought that people in the world were weak, and I hoped to become a monk, wandering between heaven and earth, watching the beautiful mountains and rivers, and seeing the rivers and seas, but I really became a monk, but I found that everything had not changed, the avenue was difficult to say, and I couldn't do things as I wanted." ”
"You're a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator, if you're really tired of it, what do you want to do?"
"The city lord has a great favor to me, and I have nothing to repay in this life, so I can only repay it with this body. ”
"Then the Qi family ......" Su Qi hesitated, but still persuaded, "Qi Rujun may not be a good family master in the future. ”
"How could I not know? The young master is a domineering man, and he has committed few wrong things over the years? But what can I do? There is a saying among mortals that loyalty is difficult to complete, and I despised it when I was young, but at this age, I found that the ancients did not deceive me. ”
Wei Jue's face was a little confused, and after a while, he disappeared, he shook his head, and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this, I heard that you are a formation master?"
"Sort of. ”
With those strange eyes, Su Qi could see through the flow of spiritual power of any formation, and it was not a lie to say that he was a formation master.
"That's really amazing, Qingzhou is located in the Eastern Wilderness, and even the formation division is pitiful, the last time I saw the formation division was seven years ago. Wei Jue was very emotional.
Su Qi poured wine for him, and then asked, "What's going on with that big array in the new pavilion?"
"No, I don't know who that big array came from, more than twenty years ago, the city lord of Qi just became the head of the Qi family, and accidentally found that jade talisman when he counted the family collection, and we discovered the function of this jade talisman after a long time of exploration. Wei Jue pondered for a while and looked out the window, "I still remember the day I used it for the first time, and the brilliance was so full that even Lin'an City trembled, but when I used it later, there was no such vision." ”
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank this little girl for showing mercy to my soldiers, they are just ordinary people, and they are innocent involved in this incident. Wei Jue clenched his hands into fists.
"What little girl! My name is Zhao Riyue!"
Wei Jue gave a thumbs up, "The name is atmospheric!"
"Of course, this is my little uncle!"
"Why are you her little uncle? You are only a few years older than her. Wei Jue looked at Su Qi in confusion.
"What does it matter how old you are on the road of cultivation?" Su Qi stretched out his chopsticks one after another, and Zhao Riyue was about to eat all the fish and meat.
"It's also ......" Wei Jue sighed, "Like me, who barely entered the Spirit Sea Realm in my thirties, I can't touch the edge of the Divine Mind in this life, I heard that those geniuses in the Eastern Wilderness, such as Lu Celadon and Gu Jiu, etc., all stepped into the Divine Mind when they were in their teens, which is enviable." ”
Hearing Lu Celadon here, Su Qi and Zhao Riyue glanced at each other, very curious.
"Lu Celadon ...... Very famous?" asked Su Qi tentatively.
Wei Jue glanced at him in surprise, "You can't have heard of her, have you?"
"I've heard about it, but I don't know much about it. ”
"Two years ago, Lu Celadon's name began to resound throughout the Eastern Wilderness, and every big force put her information on the desk, and I heard that an elder of the Shanshui Sect personally went to invite her to join the Shanshui Sect," Wei Jue smiled and shook his head, "As a result, Lu Celadon was beaten away with a sword, and afterwards, the people of the Shanshui Sect still respected her." ”
"What really put her on a par with the top disciples of those famous sects was the incident a year ago," Wei Jue's face was full of surprise and yearning, "She fought into Luofeng Slope alone, seven in and seven out, and the demon clan inside the fight scattered and fled, all of them were terrified......"
"It is said that there is a big demon above the divine mind who has suffered at her hands, and afterwards, the praise of the master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion has spread again, calling it the second ...... of the Sword Immortal."
"This is a stone that stirs up a thousand waves, everyone knows it, and everyone knows it!"
