140 cooking skills are higher than martial arts
"Master Chen, let's have some tea."
"I don't have so many good things to entertain guests in this place, so I can take this little tea." Li Xiang said hello, and Chen Jue sat down at the tea table.
After a cup of green tea, Chen Jue felt calm in his heart, sat and communicated with Li Xiang for a while, and before long, a well-dressed middle-aged woman came back carrying a basket of vegetables from outside.
"Lao Li, there is a guest at home?" As soon as this woman entered the door, she exuded enthusiasm, and at first glance she was in charge of housework and being in charge of the house, and when she saw Chen Jie, a stranger, she asked.
"This is Master Chen Jue Chen, a friend who just made a boat boxing practice."
"Xiaoqin sent it to school, right?" Li Xiang replied with tea, and then lowered his voice and revealed to Chen Jue that this was his daughter-in-law named Li Yanhong, looking at him with a little fear in his eyes, obviously he was in awe of his wife.
"I didn't expect Li Xiang, such a brave and indomitable eight-pole grandmaster, to be afraid of his wife?" Chen Jue noticed the other party's expression, felt funny in his heart, and showed a sympathetic smile on his face.
"Chen Du?"
"Isn't that the young master who just won the first place in the big competition?"
"In that case, he also caused the wound on your hand!" Li Yanhong carried the vegetable basket back to the kitchen, then wiped her hands, tied an apron, held a fruit knife in her hand, and walked out with a fruit bowl, looking at Chen Jue with a somewhat unkind expression.
"Huh? Ha ha! It's a martial arts competition! It is inevitable that you will be injured, it is all trivial, just raise it for a week. Li Xiang heard his wife's tone, hurriedly got up and took the fruit plate, put the fruit plate on the tea table, and then muttered while pushing his wife to the kitchen.
"I know how to practice martial arts all day long! Lao Li, I see that your brain is in water! It's all this age, Xiaoqin's grades don't care about it, my mother won't leave you at home for dinner at noon today, go to your senior brother! Li Yanhong glared at her husband, turned the fruit knife in her hand, flicked it, and spun it in mid-air, and then firmly inserted it into a red apple on the fruit bowl not far away, snorted twice in her nose, and turned her head to go to the kitchen to do housework.
"What a powerful throwing knife technique!"
"What a strong woman!" Chen Jue was also shocked by this sudden scene, the other party's technique of throwing the knife was very clever, and he had practiced it at a glance.
When Li Xiang was reprimanded by his wife like this, his old face turned red, and he was embarrassed when he returned to the tea table, and after giving Chen Jie, he hurriedly got up and went upstairs to change into a set of casual clothes.
"Master Chen Jie, I'll go to my senior brother's place at noon. My daughter-in-law doesn't like to let me deal with people in the rivers and lakes, and she has to lose her temper every time someone comes. ”
"Except for my students who pay tuition, even if my senior brother comes, he doesn't have a good face." Li Xiang explained helplessly that with such a fierce daughter-in-law, his courageous fist intent was useless. grabbed the car key on the shoe cabinet at the entrance, and led Chen out of the door.
Chen Jue has no opinion, anyway, he wants to meet the senior brother who practiced Tai Chi that Li Xiang said.
Carrying a bag on his back, he got into the seven-seater nanny car in the yard that picked up the children to school, and the two talked and chatted, and the car drove out of the villa compound and galloped all the way on the village road.
Finally, I went around to the foot of a verdant mountain more than ten kilometers away, and walked all the way along the winding mountain road, and finally stopped at an antique farmhouse compound with "Green Bamboo Wine Flavor House" hanging on the mountainside.
After Chen Jue got out of the car, he looked at the nearby environment, the trees were tall, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and there seemed to be the sound of a waterfall in the distance, and the farm compound in front of him was not small.
At a glance, there are more than 20 old rural houses, and the courtyard is full of all kinds of luxury cars.
"Master Li Xiang, your senior brother is running a farmhouse?" Chen Jue was a little curious, this place has nothing to do with martial arts at all, but it is a good place to cultivate sentiment and come to leisure and vacation on weekends.
"Haha! Not only does he open a farmhouse, but he is also the chef in charge here. ”
"Wait a minute, you'll know what he's capable of after you've tasted his craft." Li Xiang didn't sell it, he took Chen Du into the farmhouse, and said hello to the waiter at the front desk, it is estimated that he comes often, and the waiters know him.
After saying a few words on the walkie-talkie at the front desk, Li Xiang led Chen Jue to the innermost farmhouse, pushed open a quaint private room and sat down.
After a while, a bald man in a white chef's suit, with a round face, a red face, and a round waist walked in from outside the private room with a tray of pre-dinner snacks.
"Senior brother! Why are you free today? ”
"Swept out of the house by my brother and sister again?" The big man came in and said a few words, laid out the delicate plates on the tray one by one, and glanced at Chen Jue sitting in the box by the way.
"Senior brother, don't tease me!"
"Come, let me introduce you first, this is the Master Chen of the Boat Fist that I mentioned to you a few days ago. Master Chen's martial arts have been practiced to the fullest, even I am his defeated general, and the Tai Chi frame is not lost to you, Senior Brother. ”
"I brought him here today, just to try your best food, senior brother, by the way, introduce you to meet and make friends." Li Xiang stepped up and introduced.
"Oh?"
"It's actually Master Chen who has been shaking the rivers and lakes these days! Master Chen is really fortunate to be able to come to my Green Bamboo Wine Flavor House! ”
"In Xia Li Wei, the descendant of Mengcun Baji, and Li Xiang's senior brother." The chef looked surprised, he didn't expect the top of the big competition to be so young, and as soon as he put the tray in his hand, he gave Chen Du a fist salute.
"Master Li Wei is polite, it's all false names." Chen Jue got up and returned the salute and exchanged a few words with the other party.
However, this Li Wei was obviously busy, and after saying sorry, he turned around and went to work in the kitchen.
At this time, it was close to lunch, and the other party, as the head of the farmhouse, must be the busiest time, and Chen Jue and the others could not keep him.
I sat down and took two bites of the appetizer served by Li Wei, one was a crisp vinegar-pickled radish, and the other was a sweet cucumber.
"Delicious!" Chen Jue took two sips and couldn't help but admire.
"Haha! Not bad! ”
"My senior brother has two unique skills, one is a master of cooking, and the other is a master of martial arts. His ability to cook is even higher than his martial arts. Li Xiang introduced it on the side, and chatted about the operation of this farmhouse by the way.
When the main dishes at noon were served one by one, Chen Jue was completely aroused by the exquisite food in front of him.
Hibiscus swallow vegetables, crystal chicken slices, sauced tile fish, pot wrapped elbows, purse loin, fried shrimp, each dish is a unique dish, and finally when the big fish and meat are almost eaten, I feel a little greasy, and the waiter pinched the time to serve a jade white jade soup to finish.
"It's amazing!"
"It's the first time I've eaten such a delicious dish." Chen Jie's appetite was so great that he and Li Xiang directly cleared the table full of dishes, and even dried up a large pot of white rice sprinkled with sesame seeds.
After eating, the waiter came in and removed the plate, and sent in a pot of chrysanthemum tea, a cup of tea in the stomach, fragrant lips and teeth, clear the intestines and relieve greasy, Chen Jue felt that he had eaten so many meals since he was a child, and he had never had such a taste as today.
When it was almost half past one o'clock in the afternoon, the master Li Wei changed his outfit and pushed the door outside the box to come in.
"This meal at noon is my specialty, is it still to your taste, Master Chen?" Li Wei asked.
"Master Li Wei, your cooking is really amazing!" Chen Jue gave a thumbs up.
"Haha! If you like to eat, it's good! It shows that my craft has not regressed. Li Wei smiled happily, a chef's favorite thing to hear is that others praise him for his good skills.
……
The three of them chatted in the box for a while, then got up and followed Li Wei out of the compound of this farmhouse, and walked through the higher position of the back mountain.
After climbing for more than ten minutes, a forest villa built next to a waterfall appeared in Chen Jie's sight.
I saw that this villa was built in a square place, not a traditional Chinese villa, but a bit of a western villa in the woods, which should have been specially designed by a designer outside.
Entering the courtyard of the villa circle, Chen Jue saw that there were practice equipment scattered everywhere in the courtyard, which was similar to the furnishings in Li Xiang's yard, except that one more was emitted in the sun
A large metal ball of shiny silver.
Chen Jue felt curious, feeling similar to the big stone ball he had been holding at the beach before, so he stepped forward and grabbed it with one hand, lifted it suddenly, and pulled the big metal ball directly from the ground.
"Buzzing" A rolling sound like water flowed from the ball, Chen Jue grabbed the metal ball and rolled it around his body, and found that the big ball had a strange spinning force when it rolled on his body.
Li Xiang and Li Wei on the side both looked at each other in horror after seeing that Chen Jue could actually grab the big ball of lead and mercury with one hand.
"Master Chen Jie! What a good kung fu! ”
"I spent a lot of money to make this big ball of lead and mercury, and it weighs one hundred and eight pounds. On weekdays, I have to rely on my hands to barely pick up the exercises, but I didn't expect Master Chen to be able to play with just one hand. Li Xiang couldn't help but sigh in admiration, today is really a sight of someone outside the world.
"Lead and mercury balls?"
It turned out to be a ball made with reference to the "fleshy lead, bloody mercury" mentioned in the Daomen Neidan Technique. ”
"No wonder it feels so amazing to get started!"
Chen Jue rolled the big ball around, and suddenly found that the proficiency of his Tai Chi pile began to rise by more than a dozen points unconsciously.
Only then did I determine that I had come to Cangzhou on a whim to visit Li Xiang and Li Weishi's brothers.
