Chapter 516: Preparing for the Dinner Party

"Cong Gongzi, Cong Gongzi ......"

vaguely felt that someone was pushing him, and a voice shouted "Cong Gongzi" in his ear,

"What the hell is Gongzi Cong!"

Xiao Cong didn't have time to think about it, so he came back from the fugue Taixu, his face was slightly stunned, and then he thought that Cong and Cong have the same sound, and the so-called "Cong Gongzi" is actually "Cong Gongzi", which is a temporary title given to him by Ying Pei in order not to reveal his identity, "Cong Gongzi", "Onion Gongzi", it still feels a little weird to hear.

"Ahh

Xiao Cong shook his head, finally came to his senses, and subconsciously looked at Ying Pei beside him, Ying Pei's face was nervous, his right hand curled up under his abdomen, and his index finger pointed ahead, Xiao Cong followed his fingers and looked at it, and saw the purple winged cloud hoofs standing in front of him, his small mouth was slightly grinning, the atmosphere was slightly embarrassing, and he reacted quickly enough in a slight panic, so he hurriedly saluted, and said respectfully and sincerely:

"Junior, Cong Xiao, meet the seniors. ”

This purple-winged cloud hoof, standing about two zhang tall, much shorter than Zainong and Huo Hao in the ontological state, the most dazzling thing is the flame-like red on the chest, there is a sense of pouring from top to bottom, a pair of toe claws feel more powerful than when seen from a distance, just as Ying Pei reminded before, because of Xiao Cong's inadvertent momentary negligence in his attitude, his face is not very good-looking.

But after all, the person who came was a guest, and the purple winged cloud hoist had always boasted of being a famous family, so he couldn't show too much dissatisfaction in his heart, and Xiao Cong's attitude of bowing to him was really respectful, he looked at the use in his heart, and most of the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared, so there was a gentleness in his voice that was extremely inconsistent with his indifferent eyes,

"I've been waiting for a long time, come with me. ”

Xiao Cong hurriedly bowed his hand again, flattered and said:

"There are seniors. ”

Ying Pei quietly gave Xiao Cong a thumbs up, his eyes were full of pertinence, Xiao Cong secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and felt a little lucky, not because he reacted quickly enough and acted well enough to resolve this sudden embarrassment in time, but because he saw that the purple-winged cloud hoof, which came to guide them, was just a "blue crown", as long as he didn't secretly make a small report in the ear of the "yellow crown" patriarch, its attitude didn't matter, but this was also a wake-up call for him,

"Fortunately, it's not a gaffe in front of their patriarch, if it's a gaffe in front of their patriarch, then this matter will be a big deal, and then be serious, you can't make any more mistakes, anyway, it won't be long. ”

The Purple Wing Yunhu turned around and flapped its wings away, Xiao Cong and the others also stepped one after another, walking slowly and methodically, it didn't matter how the Purple Wing Yunhu snubbed them, anyway, their demeanor on their side couldn't be lost.

The purple-winged cloud hoof, which had just picked them up, landed in the distance, standing with its head held high under an old tree, and seemed to show their superior posture all the time, Xiao Cong was very indifferent to this, although he was insensitive, but in fact, he sneered more-yes, no, no, why bother? As if others didn't know, isn't this a typical self-deception?

It took about half a cup of tea for Xiao Cong and his party to walk up to the Purple Winged Cloud Bird, Xiao Cong knew that above their heads was the Purple Wing Cloud Bird Patriarch with yellow crown feathers, but he never looked up, but smiled, as if he was expecting something.

Xiao Cong and Ying Pei were talking in a relatively low voice just now, so Xingliuyun and Yin Nuo didn't know what was going on here, although they were a little angry when they were treated like this, but seeing that Xiao Cong didn't mean that they didn't dare to do anything, but their faces looked extremely cold, and Xingliuyun even had a feeling of wanting to deliberately stir up trouble on his face.

A coercion from the end of the Liyang Realm was quietly released above the head, everyone looked up, and saw that there was a purple winged cloud hoof with its wings spread and slowly landed, his posture was more graceful, the amplitude of the wings seemed to be wider, the feather hanging on the tail was bent into a beautiful arc, a pair of slightly vicissitudes of life were unwavering, the most striking thing was the lock of golden crown feathers on the head, embedded in the background of the gradient from blue to purple, just like the contrast between the fiery red and purple periphery on the chest, it made people feel approachable but awe-inspiring, and there was a feeling hidden under these feelings, that is, pretending!

"The purple winged cloud hooves in the Liyang Realm have yellow feathers on their heads, and the Qitian Realm will grow silver feathers, what about the Tongtian Realm?"

Xiao Cong made a small speculation in his heart,

"Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple, since there is black, it is estimated that there is white, the purple winged cloud hooves here gather yellow, green, blue, blue, purple and black feathers, and there are still red, orange and white three colors, the ninety-nine heavens of the Tongtian Realm, which can be divided into three parts of the thirty-three heavens, does that mean that the feathers on the head of the purple winged cloud hooves can change color three times in the entire Tongtian Realm? Well, it should be like this!"

The Purple Wing Cloud Bird Patriarch descended slowly, which was considered to have given Xiao Cong enough time to be distracted, at this moment, Xiao Cong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he came back to his senses, although he still had a warm smile on his face, but he was annoyed in his heart,

"I'll go, what the hell is going on today, old distracted!"

In fact, he has always been like this, but he didn't find it, but this is also human nature, curiosity and conjecture, everyone has it, but his brain is a little smarter, so there are more cases of thinking like this than ordinary people.

The Purple Wing Cloud Hoov was finally about to fall to the ground, and Xiao Cong was just busy saluting:

"The younger Shiwei cave Cong Zhao, meet the seniors. ”

There is indeed a Cong family in the Xuanzhen Realm, who is the ruler of the Shiwei Cave in the Ten Caves, and is still a little famous in the Xuanzhen Mortal Realm, but Xiao Cong estimates that it will definitely not spread to the Purple Wing Yunhu in the depths of the Ancient Zhou Plain, after all, looking at the entire Xuanzhen, the Ten Caves are just a small role, and the Purple Wing Yunhu, who has always boasted of being after the Tianhuang, must be disdainful of them, even if they have heard of it, they will say that they have not heard of it, because they can't enter the power of their eyes, and they will forget it after the ear.

Purple Wing Cloud Hu Shi Ran raised his wings and said:

"No need to be polite, get up. ”

The voice is slightly soft and a little magnetic, and it sounds like a male.

Xiao Cong straightened up, and the unhurried voice of the purple winged cloud hoofed sounded again,

"It's already surprising that there are people from the Win clan escorting you here, I didn't expect that there are two descendants of the Hades Wu clan by your side, at a young age, it's not simple. ”

Xiao Cong smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly,

"The seniors have won the prize, and the younger generations and the brothers of the Hades clan are just friends, as for the brothers of the winning clan, they are just relying on the shadow of their ancestors. ”

Purple Wing Yunhu smiled faintly,

"Anyway, I am also an old thing who has lived for thousands of years, and they respect you like a god, I can still see it to some extent, even if those few low-cultivation Terran descendants feel a little casual, but they don't have a trace of two hearts, this is your acquaintance, as for the Taoist friend with a knife, if my guess is right, there should be a vital connection with you, they are not ordinary people, and being able to gather them together on their own means means that your identity is not simple. ”

Xiao Cong looked at the eyes of the purple winged cloud hoof, and said secretly in his heart:

"Why do you say such a big deal? Does it seem that he is very perceptive? superficial! I don't know if there is a saying that I can see through or not be a good friend? I think I can look up to him a few times when I come out like this? you immortals! But how did he see that I had a crucial relationship with Yin Nuo?"

Probably seeing Xiao Cong stunned, Purple Wing Yunhu asked:

"What, am I not right?"

Xiao Cong replied:

"It's pretty much the same, but there is one thing that the juniors wonder about, how did the seniors see that there is a crucial relationship between me and this Taoist friend with a knife? ”

Purple Wing Yunhu laughed a few times,

"From the moment I saw him, he has always maintained this state of high alert, and the murderous aura makes it difficult for me not to pay attention to him, and the object of his protection is you, so you are his most important person. ”

Xiao Cong understood, and said respectfully:

"The vision and wisdom of the seniors are really admired by the younger generations. ”

Purple Wing Yunhu's tone was still faint,

"You better hurry up, although I don't know your specific identity, but I still believe that with your status and skills, there is no one worthy of your salute here, spare me, can't, since you want to keep a low profile, then I will be respectful rather than obey, let's be easy-going, you think it's good." ”

Of course, Xiao Cong raised his hands in approval, so he smiled slightly:

"Very good, very good. ”

"What's next for you?"

"The juniors want to spend one night in the treasure land of the seniors, and then tomorrow they want to bother the seniors to send a master to give the juniors a ride, if the seniors are willing to help, the juniors are grateful. ”

The purple-winged cloud hoofs gladly agreed,

"It's easy to say, it's just a gesture, is there anything else, you might as well just say it. ”

Xiao Cong shook his head,

"No more. ”

"Well, since there is nothing else to do, then I won't accompany you more, the Purple Wing Cloud Bird clan is inconvenient to stay on the ground for too long, and I can't be rude to invite you to the tree, and later the clan will take you to a suitable place, you can do it yourself over there." ”

"Thank you, senior. ”

The Purple Wing Cloud Bird Patriarch turned his head to the blue-crowned Purple Wing Cloud Hu who had led Xiao Cong and them over:

"Bring them there. ”

The blue-crowned purple-winged cloud hoof prostrate on the ground in its main state and replied respectfully, "Yes." The Purple Wing Cloud Bird Patriarch spread his wings and ascended, and the blue-crowned Purple Wing Cloud Bird stood up and faced Xiao Cong and his party, his attitude was much better than before.

"Come with me, a few distinguished guests. ”

With that, he turned around and walked northwest.

This time, the blue-crowned purple-winged cloud hoof did not fly away directly, so Xiao Cong and his party had the opportunity to follow, but this time he walked very slowly and carefully, as if he was adapting to Xiao Cong's speed, it seems that although this purple-winged cloud-hu's cultivation is not high, his eyesight is okay, otherwise, with a blue crown, he will not be able to mix with the patriarch.

Coming to the designated place, the blue-crowned purple-winged cloud hoofed said to Xiao Cong "Please take care of yourself" and then spread his wings and flew away, Xiao Cong and the others sat down with a big grin, and rested for a while in their favorite way, Xiao Cong asked Ying Pei:

"Let's make a fire here, they shouldn't mind. ”

Ying Pei replied with a smile:

"I don't think so, but I suggest that it is best to invite them over to eat together, even if you can't accommodate them all, at least you have to invite their patriarch over. ”

Xiao Cong shook his head vigorously,

"Then what's the matter, I'm here to give you a meal and get him here, and he must not be the protagonist? Besides, there is such a fake serious and pretending to be cold guy at the table, how uncomfortable it must be. ”

Ying Pei pursed his lips and smiled,

"That lord out of courtesy, it's best to be polite to their patriarch, if their patriarch doesn't come, it's best if they come, if they come over, we can't do it, otherwise, Purple Wing Yunhu will put this account on our heads because of this matter, and it will be difficult for us to go back." ”

Xiao Cong listened reasonably, this was originally a good thing, but if it was to cause unnecessary trouble in order to fulfill this good thing, it would not be good, life was not satisfactory ten ****, even if it was because the Purple Wing Yunhu Patriarch slightly cooled the atmosphere on the banquet at the banquet, it only increased this unsatisfactory a little bit, besides, this banquet was originally prepared for the children of the Win clan and Jiayin, they didn't mind, he was a chef who was idle!

Thinking of this, Xiao Cong smiled in his nose,

"That's right, if such a cautious guy is dissatisfied with a few of you, I'm afraid that he will inevitably go to the virtuous pastor to gossip with you, but it doesn't matter, I think the patriarch is very shrewd, and I guess he won't come here to beg for fun, even if he comes, it doesn't matter, everyone should eat and drink, don't be too restrained, just give face, more is redundant, okay, it's decided." ”

Xiao Cong couldn't help but say, and then he started to assign tasks,

"It's not early, let's divide the labor below, listen up, cough cough," he cleared his throat, "Boss, go pick up some, forget it, it's still Ouyang Xun, go pick up some dry firewood." ”

Xingliuyun was suddenly unhappy, and raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Little ...... Brother Zhao, you look down on people too much, you think I'm not as good as that dead fat man for other things, you still ...... , I don't care, I'm not convinced!"

Xiao Cong smiled coldly,

"Don't accept it? There are strange old trees around here, you know which ones provoke and which ones you don't know? This is individual work, and you don't have the patience, don't go back and cut what shouldn't be cut, you can't eat this meal tonight!"

The star stream cloud was not pretentious this time, and asked aggressively:

"What is that assigned to me?"

"You go build the stove, build it better. ”

Xingliuyun nodded, probably thinking that this job was more technical than collecting firewood, so he compromised:

"That's fine. ”

Xiao Cong then arranged,

"Hongxiang is responsible for lighting the fire and roasting meat, Yin Nuo is responsible for making tea, and Sister Younu goes to find some edible vegetables nearby, you don't need to do it yourself, let Zainong and Huo Hao follow you, you command them to pull it out, there is no objection." ”

Xingliuyun frowned and said:

"I've decided to drink, why are you still making tea, since it's a canton, then let's be sincere, and don't leave room for some people, okay." ”

When Xiao Cong heard this, he had an urge to slap the dead star streamer, this guy, when did he learn to play finger with him and scold Huai, and some people, didn't these people refer to him, Ouyang Xun, and the ghost girl?

"You don't have to worry about that, this tea is made for Gayin, not for some of the people you say. ”

Xingliuyun said with a big grin:

"That's not to mention, the Winning Brothers and the Gayin seniors must be drinking. ”

Xiao Cong said with a dark face:

"It takes some time for the dinner to prepare, do you want them to wait during this time?"

Xingliuyun smiled,

"Oh, I see. ”

"Anyone else would like to say anything?"

Everyone shook their heads, and when Xiao Cong saw this, he said loudly:

"If you have no objections, then let's go ahead. ”

The girl took Zainong and Huo Hao and left with Ouyang Xun, and Xiao Cong took out all the items - raw meat, tea sets, wine sets, water, wine, and tea...... There are also some herbs, everyone takes away what they need, Yin Nuo took away the tea leaves and tea utensils to make tea, Hongxiang took away the raw meat and spices and pickled them on the side, Xingliuyun filled a bucket of water with a bucket to use with mud, Xiao Cong picked and chose in a pile of herbs, these things are herbs when they are alchemy, and they are ingredients when they are cooked, the common point between the two is that they can improve the efficiency if they are used well, and if they are not used well, they have to send people away directly, Xiao Cong was fortunate to read a peerless recipe back then, and even Tiandao Weng was comfortable to serve a good skill, and the ones they did for Hongxiang Xingliuyun before were all petty fights, today he is going to show his hand in earnest.

Not long after, Ouyang Xun picked up dry firewood, Younu picked wild vegetables, Xingliuyun also built a stove on the side, the fragrance of tea had already permeated, Yin Nuo brought the brewed tea to Jiayin and them, Hongxiang lit the bonfire, and the marinated raw meat was not hung up for the time being.

Xiao Cong put the selected ingredients for cooking on palm-sized paper and lined them up in a row, and the girl washed the wild vegetables and placed them neatly on the leaves the size of a stone mill next to Xiao Cong, at this time Xiao Cong had a new instruction,

"Yin Nuo came over to help me cut the wild vegetables, and Boss Xing quickly lit a fire in the earthen stove you just built. ”

Xingliuyun picked up some dry wood and lit it and threw it into the earthen stove, the fire was fierce and accompanied by thick smoke, choking Xingliuyun and coughing, he complained in a hoarse voice:

"What the hell, why is the smoke so big!"

Ouyang Xun let out a few presumptuous sneers,

"It's worthy of a pampered young master, it's strange that such a wet stove lights such a big fire, and the smoke is not big! You have to make the fire a little smaller, and dry the stove slowly, so that when the chef uses it later, it won't go wrong." ”

Ouyang Xun heard what Xingliuyun said, but at this time, he was busy pulling out the burning firewood in the stove, because the smoke was too big and he had to cover his mouth and nose, so he didn't have time to deal with Ouyang Xun.

Yin Nuo walked up to Xiao Cong unhurriedly and asked:

"Gongzi Cong, how should I cut it?"

Xiao Cong looked at the ingredients and said:

"That, sliced radish, cut cassava, carved ginseng, and other greens. ”

Yin Nuo smiled slightly,

"Good. ”

Suddenly, the cold light flashed, the snowy demon knife came out of the sheath, crossed a graceful arc in the air, and then gently picked it up, five or six bundles of greens were picked up in the air, and the demon knife silently and quickly slashed back and forth, and the bundles of greens returned to the leaves, and they were still the same, and they didn't even seem to have moved a little.

Then, the demon knife was picked up again, and several bundles of greens rose into the air again, and after being simply processed, they were completely returned to the leaves, and they were concocted in this way, whether it was sliced radish or cassava cut into pieces, when they fell back on the leaves, they were still the same as before.

Finally, Yin Nuo picked up an old ginseng with his left hand, moved it to his eyes for a while, and then gently threw it up, the knife shadows flew, and after a dazzling manipulation, the old ginseng that fell back to the leaves has turned into two lifelike white lotuses, and the other old ginseng has turned into a peony flower after treatment.

And when Ouyang Xun was showing off his sword skills in Yin Nuo, he walked to Hongxiang's side like a master with his hands behind his back, squatted down and frowned:

"Dude, you can't do it like this. ”

Hongxiang tilted his head and glanced at Ouyang Xun coldly, and ignored him:

"It's none of your business. ”

Ouyang Xun pouted,

"That's a little wrong, we're all doing things for your brother, no matter how big or small, your brother wants to make this dinner perfect, we have to fully support him." ”

Hongxiang glanced at Ouyang Xun coldly again, still in that tone,

"And then?"

Ouyang Xun leaned forward, stared at the barbecue on the fire seriously, and said:

"You bake this, you can't say it's not delicious, but you can make it better, I can teach you, it's definitely more delicious than the night I roasted!"

Hongxiang chuckled contemptuously,

"Alright, come on. ”

Instead, he gave up his position without hesitation.

Ouyang Xun smiled,

"Brother Hongxiang, what are you doing, come on, sit down, let's be together, you should be kind enough to take in me, a person who has nothing to do for a while, I will provide you with some spices and suggestions, or you will roast." ”

Hongxiang sat down again, and Ouyang Xun pointed to the still pink meat steak and said:

"I'll tell you a little trick about grilling meat first, you, before putting the meat on the campfire, first spread a layer of ghee on it, so that the grilled meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and you can eat a mouthful full of juice. ”

Hongxiang asked with a cold little face:

"Where do you want me to find ghee for you in this kind of place?"

"What are you looking for, I have it here. ”

Ouyang Xun was flattering and proud, turned over with his right hand a few times, took out a few clay pots from the mustard, lined them up on the ground, pointed at them and showed off:

"See, this, is the richest man in the north of the country's own use of the top ghee, barbecue with it, to ensure that a little oil juice can not leak out, this, is the richest man in the north of the country's own secret spices, from thousands of materials, hundreds of processes, can be matched with any meat ingredients, and can fully mobilize the fragrance of the ingredients, highlight the characteristics of the ingredients, such treasures, in the Xuanzhen mortal world, even if you have money can not buy, and this, is the richest man in the north of the secret dipping sauce, this I will not introduce you more, it is a small expectation for you, and when you stay for a while to use it, you will know how delicious it is。 ”

"The richest man in the north is so poor and extravagant, how is it compared to the royal family?"

Hongxiang's sudden questioning made Ouyang Xun feel a little surprised, his face was slightly stunned, and he replied:

"Compared with the royal family, this, I really can't say, after all, I haven't eaten the royal palace banquet yet. ”

Hongxiang pouted,

"But isn't such a good thing supposed to be used for offering? These things of the richest man in the north don't even have the qualifications to make offerings, so it doesn't seem to be very good!"

Ouyang Xun shook his head, and a smug look surged over his ugly face again,

"The Ouyang family, the richest man in the north, is the royal king according to his official position, and his status is similar to that of other royal relatives and even the kings of various kingdoms. ”

Hongxiang shook his head, and replied with a long cavity indifferently,

"Oh. ”

Seeing that Hongxiang no longer spoke, Ouyang Xun thought about finding something to do by himself.

"Otherwise, I'll help you get the rest of the steak to be treated. ”

Hongxiang didn't respond, so he assumed that Hongxiang was acquiescing, so he took the two earthen jars with ghee and spices, took out a small brush, and hummed a little song to pass the time for the rest of the meat steak.
