Chapter 4 Drunk on the clouds
Xia Yan came out of the Hidden Sword Pavilion and left the school gate not long after.
He was not in a hurry to go home, but went to the vegetable market in Wushan Town first.
Chen Wenbing is stewing pig's head at home, and it is best to have a few side dishes if you have wine.
Wushan Town is not large, and there were originally more than 300 families.
Wanjian Academy has a long history, more than 600 years since its establishment, but the South Campus is the newest campus, only ten years old, Xia Yan is the first batch of students in the South Campus.
The school palace opened the gate of the South Campus in Wushan Town, which is a flat thunder, steep and rich.
Almost all the houses were rented by wealthy students at high prices, and most of the aborigines moved to Kaiyuan City, 300 miles away.
The rest of the aborigines did some small businesses in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and made a lot of money from this group of students.
Xia Yan walked around the vegetable market in the east of the town for a while, bought a chicken, and got some vegetables, and then returned to the house.
He sent these ingredients into the kitchen and threw them in front of Chen Wenbing: "Come, those who can work hard." ”
Chen Wenbing was serving the pig's head, deboning it with a dagger.
He rolled his eyes and handed the dagger in his hand to Xia Yan: "Don't be a shopkeeper, I'll take care of these ingredients, and you help me debon." ”
Xia Yan originally wanted to hide in the study to read the sword book, but when he heard this, he couldn't leave, so he had to take the dagger.
Then I heard Chen Wenbing say: "You went to the Hidden Sword Pavilion just now?" ”
Xia Yan was busy deboning and said, "Well, your father donated this Hidden Sword Pavilion, which is quite magnificent." ”
"We don't show our faces in this matter." Chen Wenbing shook his head and said, "Whether it is the Sword Tower donated by your father or the Sword Pavilion donated by my father, the more magnificent they are, the more incompetent our brothers are." ”
Xia Yan clicked and broke off a mandible: "That's the truth." ”
"You have to be light, don't break the picture!" Chen Wenbing reminded him, and then asked, "What are you doing in the Hidden Sword Pavilion?" I remember that the Hidden Sword Pavilion can only be entered if you have more than a double kendo, and you are now a double kendo? ”
"Just broke through in the morning." Xia Yan replied truthfully, the dagger turned in the pig's mouth, and a strip was removed, "This one is done alone, cut for nothing." ”
"Got it." Chen Wenbing nodded, and then said, "You have worked much harder than me in cultivation, and it is normal to break through, but you just broke through and went to learn new swordsmanship, this is in a hurry, is it going to participate in the sword debate?" ”
"Hmm." Xia Yan said, "The supervisor Jian Xiu has given me a place in the primary selection. ”
"Sure enough." Chen Wenbing pursed his lips, "I'm the same, and I was given a primary selection place."
What made me realize the gap and made me and my dad die.
It's not nonsense, I'm dead for a long time.
As far as my talent is concerned, it's okay to put it in ordinary people, but it's not a fart in the Ten Thousand Swords Academy.
My father still thinks that his son is very talented. ”
Xia Yan sighed, put the boneless pig's head aside, and said, "It's all Jackie Chan." ”
"I understand that, but you can't go too far." Chen Wenbing took the pig's head and spread it flat, and then sprinkled the marinade inside and out, "You don't know, my father is really indomitable." As soon as I heard that I was going to participate in the sword debate, I thought of a way to go. ”
"You participate in the sword debate, what can your father think of?" Xia Yan sat behind the earthen stove and asked while putting firewood into the stove, "Can he still fight the sword for you himself?" ”
"My father is just a cook, and he can't jump on such a high board, let alone a two-meter-high sword fighting platform." Chen Wenbing patted the stove, and then raised his eyebrows, "He, go get medicine for me." ”
"Medicine?" Xia Yan asked, "What medicine?" ”
"Pseudo-Yuan Dan." Chen Wenbing looked left and right, and said softly, "This medicine, from those cultivation sects that do not enter the stream, can quickly improve the cultivation within the five levels of the day after tomorrow. The only side effect is that the potential is overdrawn, and the innate realm is hopeless in this life. ”
"Isn't that hurting you?" Xia Yan said strangely.
"Hey, with our talent, there is no hope for the innate realm." Chen Wenbing said, "What my father means is that since he has participated in the sword debate, he must have some achievements." It's best to win one or two games in the district preliminaries. In this way, I have been studying the palace for nine years, and after I go home, I can explain in all aspects, and I can smoothly take over the position of the head of the family. ”
"Oh, I see." Xia Yan nodded, thinking that this was reasonable.
is the only child of a single lineage, and Chen Wenbing's situation is different.
The Chen family's restaurants blossomed everywhere in the Yuqing Dynasty, in addition to the big business, but also luxuriant, there are more than 20 cousins and cousins.
He went back to take over, and he had to settle up and down.
"Pseudo-Yuan Dan, this thing is very expensive." The muscles on Chen Wenbing's face twitched a few times, and he said with a distressed expression, "With our Chen family's industry, it is only enough to buy two."
My father bought one, and the family property shrank by half, in my opinion, this is a loss-making deal, but my father just didn't listen.
He said, even if you don't care about the sword, this is a real cultivation, and I will use it for self-defense in the future.
No, the elixir has already been delivered, and I have melted it into wine. ”
When Chen Wenbing said this, he pointed to the pot of wine he brought over today, and raised his eyebrows at Xia Yan: "Look, it's all here." ”
"You are ......" Xia Yan was a little surprised.
"It's a good jug." Chen Wenbing smiled, then stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Xia Yan and said, "Our brothers, the situation in the school palace is almost the same, and we have been doing well in the past few years."
I see that you practice very hard every day, but your cultivation progress is as stagnant as mine.
Talent is a thing, there really can't be helped, we are not this material, and no matter how much effort we put into it, it is in vain.
Then I thought, since we have this medicine, we might as well be half of the people.
In this way, if your realm is raised a little, it will be regarded as the reward of your hard work in the past few years.
As a result, I didn't expect you to break through today.
It's okay, if you drink a little more wine, the realm can still rise. ”
Chen Wenbing's tone was very sincere when he said this, which made Xia Yan feel a little moved.
But he can't accept this kindness in his own sense or reason.
Let's not talk about the issue of righteousness, as soon as I drink this wine, half of the pseudo-Yuan Dan will fall into my stomach, and the temporary cultivation will go up, and the future cultivation will be over.
Xia Yan shook his head: "Wen Bing, I won't accompany you for today's meal." ”
"Outside of me?" Chen Wenbing said with a displeased expression.
Xia Yan shook his head firmly: "It's not that you see the outside, your father's transformation is all for you." Don't even half of me, if I drink even a drop of this wine, I am not worthy of being your friend. ”
Chen Wenbing looked at Xia Yan for a while, then nodded and said, "Half a pseudo-Yuan Dan, how many people dream of it, but you are not tempted at all." Xia Yan, you are a friend, I have paid it. ”
Being praised by Chen Wenbing like this, Xia Yan was embarrassed and waved his hand: "Okay, let's be quick, get the dishes out, and let you drink this wine." ”
"Then you're just going to watch?" Chen Wenbing asked.
"I'll just eat the vegetables." Xia Yan said, "I've been hungry for a long time with your pork face. ”
Chen Wenbing shook his finger and pointed at Xia Yan: "Look at your little bit of interest." ”
After saying that, he seemed to be very happy, and his movements became more and more swift.
Soon, the two worked together in the kitchen, Chen Wenbing concentrated on cooking the pig's head, and Xia Yan gave him a hand.
Grilled pork face is a kung fu dish, and the earthen stove is fired, which is particularly time-consuming.
I was busy until dark, and the dishes on the wine table were finally ready.
Grilled pork face, roast chicken with puff pastry, stir-fried vegetables, white cut strips, plus a pot of gnocchi soup and nine lotus leaf cakes.
With the amount of food for these two people, this dish is not much, but it can't stand the large amount of pig face, and there are nearly twenty catties after removing the bones.
This hard dish occupies most of the table, and the color is red, fragrant, and steaming.
You don't use chopsticks when you eat it, and the texture is like tofu, just scoop it with a spoon.
Xia Yan scooped a spoonful, put it in Chen Wenbing's dish first, looked up, and found that this person was looking at the wine in the cup in front of him, and he was in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Xia Yan asked.
"Although the cultivation of this wine has risen greatly, the path of cultivation has been completely cut off." Chen Wenbing looked up at Xia Yan and muttered, "From now on, I, Chen Wenbing, am a cook." ”
When Xia Yan heard this, he was brought some emotion.
If he doesn't come, his predecessor will have the same fate as Chen Wenbing.
was swept away by the school palace, and the path of cultivation was completely cut off, so he could only go back to inherit the family business.
Xia Yan was thinking about his thoughts, and Chen Wenbing, who was opposite, seemed to have made up his mind.
He raised the wine glass in front of him and said, "Xia Yan, I accepted my fate, what about you?" ”
Xia Yan was slightly stunned, then shook his head.
"Okay, if you don't accept your fate, I'll make a toast myself."
After speaking, Chen Wenbing craned his neck and drank all the wine in the cup, and then filled himself again.
The action was very simple, but the man's tears flowed down his face, and they dripped into the wine glass.
Seeing that this person actually cried with a glass of wine, Xia Yan was a little surprised, but he could understand it.
After all, after so many years in the Academy Palace, the door of cultivation originally seemed to be open all the time, and he could step in at any time.
Now, the door is shut.
Thinking about it like this, Xia Yan was also a little gloomy in his heart, so he could only persuade: "Don't just drink, eat vegetables." ”
Chen Wenbing was obedient, sucked the pork head meat in the dish into his mouth, and then raised his head again.
Xia Yan continued to serve him vegetables.
Chen Wenbing took a sip of wine and meat, and at first he drank while crying.
Slowly, the strength of the wine came up, and the whole person became happy.
Just drank it, Xia Yan was also relieved, so he replaced the wine with tea, and the two began to push the cup and change the lamp.
In the end, a pot of wine was drunk, and the dishes on the table were all eaten.
Chen Wenbing's face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, his eyes were straight, and the whole person slid down the chair.
Xia Yan hurriedly went over and helped the person up, thinking to himself that with the amount of alcohol you have, what are you doing with a pot of wine, one cup is almost enough.
After thinking about it, Chen Wenbing thought that it was two people drinking, so he turned a whole pot.
People drink like this, they can only be sent home first, Chen Wenbing lives in Wushan Town, which is very close to here.
Xia Yan helped him and told him, "Don't vomit, otherwise the medicine will be wasted." ”
When he walked to the gate, he saw that the drunkard suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted:
"Uh-!!"
"I, Chen Wenbing, am a genius, how can I be trapped in the mortal world!"
"I want to fight the sword on Qingyun, kill those sword immortals, and then snatch the female sword immortals of the Xiu Sword Sect as his wife!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Vomit ......"
