Chapter 20 The Cultivators Also Eat
After entering Longtong Money Village, the guys inside had already been notified that they knew that Ming Lingzi and they were now the most honorable high rollers in the money village, so they immediately recognized Ming Lingzi and them, and they were very enthusiastic to let them go to the upstairs room, served tea, and immediately went to invite Luo Yongchang.
After a while, I saw Luo Yongchang walk in, holding some wood plates that seemed to be jade, saluting Ming Lingzi, and said enthusiastically: "I've seen my predecessors, I estimate that you should almost arrive, and I have prepared the voucher for the conference." Fortunately, I returned to the party in time yesterday, this year's conference is very popular, and the VIP vouchers prepared in the party are very sought-after, and if I go back a little later, these vouchers will be snatched by others. After speaking, he handed the voucher to Ming Lingzi as if he was inviting merit.
Take a closer look, these vouchers are really made of white jade, they should still be high-quality white jade, and the Qilong Sect is really a big deal, and just a few vouchers have to be made so extravagantly.
Ming Lingzi took it and handed it to Liu Changzhen and put it into the desire to hide. Ming Lingzi said: "That's really troublesome for the shopkeeper." I wonder how the shopkeeper's purchase went?"
Luo Yongchang said with a smile: "Don't worry, this senior, we have already purchased a batch yesterday." I see that the quality of some items is not good, and I have to wait patiently for the merchant to replenish the stock. Yesterday I told my seniors that it would take ten days, in fact, in Qilong City, you can complete the list of seniors in one day, but I am afraid that this situation, the quality of the goods will definitely not be able to enter the eyes of the seniors, so the seniors should wait patiently. ”
After he finished speaking, he beckoned the man to go and get some of the items that had been purchased. After a while, two men brought a suitcase.
Luo Yongchang opened the box and said, "Senior, please take a look." The most sought-after and most difficult to buy in the seniors' list are the materials for these weapons, as well as some nourishing medicinal materials. Yesterday as soon as my senior left, I immediately went to the biggest weapons store in the city and bought these. Now there are only red copper, black gold, silver thread, and lazurite, which I didn't buy because of the average quality. ”
Ming Lingzi, Yu Changming and Liu Changzhen got up and came to the side of the box, each took a few materials, and sure enough, they were all of high quality, Ming Lingzi nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's really a shopkeeper." You don't have to save me any time, just make sure everything is of high quality. When the time comes, I don't pay for what I don't see. "Ming Lingzi now feels like a local tyrant who got rich overnight, and he doesn't need to save money.
When Luo Yongchang heard Ming Lingzi say this, his eyes almost narrowed into a line with a smile, and said, "Senior, don't worry, I will do my best." It's almost noon now, and the seniors and the other brothers must have lunch at the trumpet today. ”
Hearing that Luo Yongchang was invited to lunch, except for Xiaolai, Ming Lingzi and they were all stunned for a moment, and they didn't react for a while.
After the cultivation reaches a certain level, it can be said that it is really a meal and a drink, and some sects have special cultivation methods to put an end to eating and drinking.
Although the Heavenly Spirit Sect does not have this method, and Ming Lingzi and they occasionally eat, but Ming Lingzi they can definitely not eat for a long time, most of the food tastes similar to them, and they have no interest in eating.
They had never heard of monks inviting each other to dinner, and it seemed that eating was a very important thing. Ming Lingzi came to his senses and said embarrassedly: "Eat? ”
Luo Yongchang didn't notice Ming Lingzi's embarrassment, thinking that Ming Lingzi was just a normal shirk, and continued: "Seniors don't need to shirk. I have already instructed the men to go to the best restaurant in Qilong City and book a table, and it will be delivered in a moment. The seniors will be satisfied when they eat it. He also instructed the guys to look at the tea again, and he was full of enthusiasm, so that Ming Lingzi and they really couldn't shirk it.
At this time, there happened to be something for Luo Yongchang to deal with, and he left after a few polite words. It's even more difficult for them to shirk Ming Lingzi, so they can't say goodbye without saying goodbye.
Zhang Yuancheng said: "Master, Master, I noticed a strange thing when I was outside just now, there are many restaurants on the street mixed between weapon shops and magic weapon shops, I don't know if you have noticed." These restaurants are all located in the inner city, and it seems that they are definitely not for ordinary people, that is, for cultivators to eat, do the cultivators here need to eat every day like ordinary people?"
Hearing Zhang Yuancheng say this, Ming Lingzi and the others thought carefully, it is true that there are many restaurants on the street, and at that time, they put all their minds on weapons and magic weapons, how could they notice such a thing.
Yu Changming said: "Yuan Cheng is careful. Uncle Shi, it seems that there are a lot of strange things about the cultivators here. I guess the food in these restaurants is probably different from what we thought, otherwise these cultivators wouldn't have to eat it. ”
Ming Lingzi nodded and said, "Let's eat it once, this time it was really an eye-opener." ”
Listening to Yu Changming say that there is probably a difference in the food here, Zhao Yuansheng and Yu Yuantai are interested, they are both cultivating since childhood, living in the Tianling Sect where they have eaten any good things, and after becoming good friends with Xiaolai, they often hear Xiao say that when he cultivates, he will have no taste for eating, and then there will be a lot less fun in life.
Xiao Lai described to them several times about food, such as the occasional game caught in the mountains, the rare mushrooms found in the woods, etc., but unfortunately the two of them looked at Xiao Lai's drooling appearance, and they didn't feel it at all. Now, I heard that there is a special meal for cultivators, and the taste is definitely suitable for cultivators, and they may be able to experience the feeling of drooling when they say it.
Xiaolai is naturally also curious about this kind of food, he doesn't know what it feels like to eat the food of cultivators as an ordinary person, looking at the arrogant appearance of the cultivators here, the food should not be bad.
The three of them were discussing hotly there, and it was completely the three soil buns who had never seen the world, and before they knew it, Ming Lingzi was behind them. Ming Lingzi shot quickly, "Bang Bang" three times, Zhao Yuansheng and the three of them turned around and looked at Ming Lingzi with a look of grievance.
Zhao Yuansheng said: "Little Master, how can we provoke you." I don't think I can continue to cultivate, I have to hurry up and turn into pulse cultivation, otherwise I will definitely be beaten stupid by you. ”
After hearing this, Yu Yuantai said: "Come on, you don't want to be cheap and good." Shizu is much heavier on me than on you, Xiaolai, you must make a good choice in the future. ”
Xiaolai nodded, just wanted to say that he didn't choose anything, but when he saw Ming Lingzi staring at him, he was afraid that he would be beaten again, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"Why did you beat you, one meal made you hungry like that, and there is no trace of cultivators. Ming Lingzi reprimanded the three of them again.
Xiaolai made eye contact with Zhao Yuansheng and Yu Yuantai, thinking that he was not a cultivator, but the two of them hurriedly signaled him not to speak.
After a while, Luo Yongchang came back and said that the banquet had been arranged and let them sit down. A group of people followed him to another room, and before they could enter, they smelled a burst of fragrance, which really aroused their appetite at once, and it seemed that these meals were indeed strange.
A wide variety of plates and plates fill the table, and each dish is not only attractive in aroma, but also delicate in appearance, which makes people appetize when they look at it. Sitting down, they held their chopsticks and didn't know which plate to take their mouths from.
Luo Yongchang thought that they understood etiquette, so he hurriedly made the dishes and said, "The small banquet noodles don't know if they will suit everyone's taste." Senior, you please first. ”
As soon as Ming Lingzi saw that everyone was looking at him, he casually took a piece of meat from the plate in front of him and put it in his mouth. The rest of the people saw that Ming Lingzi had moved his chopsticks, and they also hurriedly began to eat.
Sure enough, these meals are different, and they can actually replenish the essence element! As soon as the food entered the stomach, Ming Lingzi and they immediately felt it, and a little bit of essence continued to spread from the stomach to the vein, this feeling made them feel as if their stomach had been hungry for a long time, and now that they got the food, the satisfaction of the stomach was really fascinating.
The reason why human beings need food is because they need to get the nutrients and energy they need to survive from food, which is why human beings find food delicious, because human beings get satisfaction from food.
Cultivators are different from ordinary people, the nutrients and energy they need are essence, which cannot be obtained from ordinary food, so they lose interest in those foods. Now that these foods can provide them with essence, they naturally have something to eat*, and they think these things are delicious.
Zhao Yuansheng and Yu Yuan were so happy to eat, it is estimated that if there were no outsiders present, the two of them would have rolled up their arms and sleeves and shouted that it was delicious.
Xiao Lai over there felt that the taste of this meal was really difficult to compliment, so he casually took a few bites, put down his chopsticks after being half full, and looked at Zhao Yuansheng and they were so happy to eat, and said in his heart that the taste of cultivators is different from his own, and this thing specially for cultivators is not suitable for him, and he is really not a material for cultivation. In fact, Xiaolai didn't expect that he would not be a cultivator yet, so naturally he couldn't eat these things.
Yu Yuantai put down the chopsticks when he saw that Xiaolai didn't eat much, and felt very strange, he usually saw Xiaolai eat a lot, why did he not eat such delicious things today, so he asked, "Xiaolai, why don't you eat it?"
Xiaolai patted his stomach, smiled bitterly, and said, "When you're full, you continue to eat." "In front of his master, he can't say that the food is not delicious. Zhao Yuansheng and Yu Yuantai heard what Xiaolai said, and they couldn't take care of him, and continued to eat a lot.
Zhang Yuancheng here also put down his chopsticks early, and Xiaolai quietly asked: "Senior brother, don't you think it's delicious?" Zhang Yuancheng whispered: "It's delicious, but I don't want to eat it." ”
Everyone didn't care about talking during this meal, even Luo Yongchang was the same, as if he hadn't eaten before, he just buried his head in eating. After a while, a table of dishes was almost eaten clean, and everyone seemed to still feel unsatisfied.
