The season is turning, and it has reached the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mid-Autumn Festival, ancient is a grand folk festival, August 15, the fullest day of the month, a hundred families reunite, enjoy the moon and worship the moon, there is also a sense of longing for the distant tourists who have not returned.

This day is often a festive day. And so it is with all the nations. With the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole Nanyang City is a lively moment again, and the streets and alleys are filled with a beautiful atmosphere of reunion.

From the royal family to the common people, they were busy preparing for the moon viewing banquet in the evening. On this day, the business of the shops in the city is also very prosperous, especially those mooncake shops, which are simply overcrowded.

Gu Li and the three of them were taken around the city by Cen Yao, enjoying some interesting things, and at the same time buying some things to eat and drink, and in the evening, they were going to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Lu Chengzhi's thatched hut.

The monks and Lu Chengzhi who did not quit were prepared in the thatched hut. These practitioners from all over the world are also a great fate to get together in this Mid-Autumn Festival.

After they finished practicing that day, they walked out of the hut and saw the dean of Nanyang Academy visiting Lu Chengzhi, drinking tea and chatting with the three monks to discuss the practice. Lu Chengzhi took advantage of this to inform the dean that he and Cen Yao were leaving. The dean didn't say much, just nodded in response, he knew that people like Lu Chengzhi had not been able to stay in Nanyang Academy.

As for Cen Yao also leaving, it was beyond Sima Xi's expectations, Lu Chengzhi told him that Cen Yao was going to travel with the three teenagers to practice. In this way, they Nanyang Academy is afraid that they will no longer be able to look forward to Lu Chengzhi's return. Sima Xi was still a little reluctant after all. After all, with Lu Chengzhi, a Hongru sitting in Nanyang Academy, it is best that he can also ask him for advice on cultivation and advanced Confucianism. But now, he's leaving.

But some people can't be retained after all. Sima Xi knew this, and he couldn't force it. Lu Chengzhi has been cultivating in Nanyang Academy for five years, and it is a great gift to bring good luck.

on Dongcheng Street.

"I'm going to buy that!" Luo Yi suddenly stood up, pointed to a small stall on the side of the street, his eyes were firm, and the other three followed and looked, only to see that it was a stall selling sugar gourds. The stall owner was a middle-aged man, dressed in a cloth coat and with a beard on his face, a very ordinary person. Beside him, there was a little girl with clear eyes and a bright eye, who helped her father.

"It turns out that Miss Luo likes to eat sugar gourds. Cen Yao pursed his lips and smiled, they have been staying together to practice for the past three days, and they are familiar with each other. Although Cen Yao was cold, he thought that he would have to practice and travel with Gu Li and the three of them in the future, so he also took the initiative to make friends.

And Gu Li and the three of them also learned some about Cen Yao's situation. This woman has a cold and quiet temperament, but her eyes are resolute and her heart is very tough. And Cen Yao's talent is indeed amazing, as a disciple of Lu Chengzhi, he can be regarded as an orthodox Confucian cultivator, with a book aroma and excellent temperament. And she's still very good to them.

"Don't you like it?" Luo Yi asked rhetorically, why didn't she like the sugar gourd so delicious.

"Loved it too. Cen Yao smiled faintly, revealing a dimple, and there was a different kind of sweet and clear feeling. Among the four, Cen Yao is sixteen years old, the youngest, Gu Li and Luo Yi are both seventeen, and Mu Shen is the longest, eighteen years old. Therefore, Mu Shen and Gu Li always felt that they were looking at a little sister.

"Haha, Xiaodao likes it too. Mu Shen smiled. The two daughters gave him a blank look. Then walked hand in hand, invisibly, it was so intimate.

Gu Li and Mu Shen were a little dumbfounded. They still remember that Luo Yi was very cold when Gu Li made a request a few days ago.

"Let's go, I'd like to try it too. Gu Li beckoned and followed the second daughter, and Mu Shen naturally went up.

Luo Yi made a bold move, bought ten strings at once, and directly threw away a tael of silver, and said, "No need to look for it." "The boss is a small businessman, you can imagine how happy he is, and his attitude is a little better. "Thank you, Miss. ”

"Big brother and big sister, you guys are so nice!" The boss's daughter smiled happily, and her innocent eyes made the four of them feel warm in their hearts. Especially Cen Yao, his body trembled, and he remembered the past many years ago for a while. At that time, she was also a carefree little girl, and her father was the commander of the three armies of the Northern Yan Dynasty, Zhenbeihou, who was admired by tens of thousands of people......

"What's the name of the little sister?" Cen Yao rarely softened, stroked the little girl's head, and said with a light smile.

"My name is Chunyan, I was born in spring, and my father wanted me to be as free and happy as a swallow in spring. The little girl replied.

"Spring is really a good time, and Yan'er's name is also very good. Cen Yao's gentleness at this moment was not only stunned by Gu Li and the others, but even the boss was stunned. But they could all feel Cen Yao's softness and doting on the girl, and her eyes seemed to fall into deep memories......

Gu Li and the three of them are so smart and sharp-minded, and when they think of Cen Yao's temperament, they know that Cen Yao may have some past memories that make him still deeply moved.

This girl is actually very gentle and pure, just like a little girl. It's just that her heart, which others can't peep into, doesn't understand.

"Thank you, girl, for the compliment. The boss smiled gently, "If the little girl is as good as the two girls in the future, I, the father, am afraid that I will be happy to die in my dreams." ”

"Yes, the two sisters are beautiful. Chunyan nodded.

......

After leaving, the four of them continued to wander the streets like children with a string of sugar gourds in their mouths.

"In addition to eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival, what else is there?" Gu Li and the three of them used to be cultivators outside the square, and they were far less clear about the Mid-Autumn Festival customs than Cen Yao, so the things they bought were all instructed by Cen Yao.

"Mooncakes are a necessary staple food, and you can buy anything else to eat. You can also buy some wine, don't you like to drink, in fact, my teacher also knows how to drink. Cen Yao replied.

Speaking of wine, Gu Li and Mu Shen both remembered the flaming red lips that they hadn't finished drinking that night, and they were afraid that they had been swallowed by the undisciplined monks. They also didn't expect that Mr. Lu was also a drinker. In fact, among the three religions, Confucianism does not have the requirements of Taoism in terms of eating wine and meat, and it is not as taboo as Buddhism. It's free to eat and drink.

"Why don't we go to Lishui Mansion and sell two more jars of flaming red lips?" Mu Shen smacked his lips and proposed with a smile.

"Go buy some meat again, doesn't the master like chicken, let Gu Li take charge of the kitchen tonight and cook a dinner for us, and Mu Shen, isn't he also good at hot pot." Luo Yi smiled and commanded, after all, she is the one who pays the money. And she has been coveting her craft for a long time, and tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is a good opportunity.

"Okay, that boy won't hide it, show his skills tonight, and Mu Shen will be my hand. Gu Lihao laughed, Mu Shen was disdainful, "Fart, with my hot pot skills, that's used to make a start?"

"Giggles. ”

Afterwards, they went to Lishui Building, bought two large jars of flaming red lips, and went to the market to pick up fresh meat, vegetables, and spices. Cen Yao remembered that there was no kitchen in the thatched hut, so he hurriedly reminded him, but saw Mu Shen wave his hand, "The trail walks the rivers and lakes, and it is a kitchen itself, Cen Yao, you don't have to worry." ”

"Haha. There really don't worry, Mu Shen will arrange this. Gu Li and Luo Yi smiled when they heard this, but they remembered that when they first met Mu Shen, this guy was cooking hot pot and eating alone in the deep mountains, and he also entertained them with dishes and chopsticks.

Cen Yao wanted to speak and stopped, what do you mean that you are a kitchen?

It was getting late, and the lights had been lit up in Nanyang City, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, so they must have gone home for reunion. As for the night market or the major restaurants and restaurants, they are all overcrowded and very lively.

Many wealthy people bring their families to buy banquets, even if many ordinary people will go out extravagant this night.

"It's time for us to go back and prepare. Cen Yao said.

"Good. ”

......

Bang bang bang!

When they returned to Lu Chengzhi's thatched hut on Yunshan, night had come, and a bright moon like a jade plate hung high in the night sky, the light was extraordinarily bright, and the stars were shining brightly.

In the city of Nanyang, brilliant fireworks began to bloom everywhere, illuminating the entire city, one after another, endlessly.

Yunshan is just the perfect place to enjoy the scenery, and you can see the flickering fireworks of the whole city at this moment, like the beating pulse of a sleeper, completely awakening.

"It's beautiful!"

A group of six people held a banquet directly on the top of Yunshan Mountain, blending into the gorgeous fireworks of Nanyang City. The whole city is brightly lit at this moment, and it is full of red lanterns.

In many places, sky lanterns have been lit, rising into the night sky with the wind, rising continuously, like a star. And in the great rivers of the city, all the river lanterns were lit and went with the river.

"It's the first time I've had the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn't expect it to be so beautiful!" Luo Yi and Cen Yao looked at the night of the city, amazed, and completely attracted by the prosperity and beauty. Cen Yao is okay, because she has had the Mid-Autumn Festival many times, and it has been the Mid-Autumn Festival in Nanyue and Beiyue! Luoyi is different, there is no such ordinary festival in Baidi City. It was a first for her.

Gu Li and Mu Shen were the same, but they were a little sad, and they didn't have time to enjoy the scenery, but they were busy cooking. As for Lu Chengzhi and the non-abstaining monks, they were leisurely admiring the moon and drinking, so unhappy.

The two teenagers were inevitably depressed, but they could still hear the movement of Nanyang City, and they could also see the bright moon and fireworks. It's just that they have more ideas, and it's all about cooking.

Cooking is an art, it is not simple, and distractions are the most taboo.

After two hours of busyness, Master Gu and Master Mu finally decided to serve the food!

"Everyone, try the craftsmanship of the trail!" Mu Shen greeted him, and he already held the wine glass in one hand. Gu Li's face darkened, this is called your craft?!

"Good. The second daughter and Lu Chengzhi nodded one after another, some were novel, some couldn't wait, wanting to see the craftsmanship of these two people.

Gu Li specially made a dish of Kung Pao chicken and braised sea bass for the non-quit monk, plus Mu Shen's exclusive spices, that taste, the monk only smelled it and got drunk.

In addition to these two dishes, there are many others, such as lamb skewers, beef noodles and so on. The finale of the dish, called "Canghai Yingtaiyue, shark fin cooked bear's paw" is extremely particular.

"Loved, monk loved. The monk tasted it, burst into tears, and was a little reluctant to leave these four young girls, how could it be so delicious!

"Now I believe it. Luo Yi nodded deeply at Gu Li, this guy didn't lie to her, the dishes were really delicious.

"This dish of 'Canghai Yingtaiyue, shark fin cooked bear paw' is the top delicacy in Dongyue, the materials and cooking techniques are extremely exquisite, Lu was fortunate to eat it back then, why does Gu Li Xiaoyou also make it?" Lu Chengzhi was surprised, but he still ate sincerely.

"This is a recipe that my teacher taught me. It's just a pity that I didn't buy the two best materials today, the black bear paws of the Canghai shark with selected hook wings and the snow mountain half-moon pattern. Gu Li drank a glass of wine and replied slowly, with some regrets.

"I see, it seems that Master Ling is also a chef! And this flaming red lip is also very good!" Lu Chengzhi picked up a piece of shark fin and praised it again and again, even if it is not the top ingredient, it is enough to be called a delicacy in the world. Saying that, another glass of wine went down.

"Goodness, great goodness!"

"It's really delicious! I want you to make it again in the future with the two top ingredients you said!" Luo Yi exclaimed, completely in love with the taste. Even Cen Yao and Mu Shen had to praise this delicacy.

"What a sea reflecting Taiyue, shark fin cooking bear's paw!"

Under the bright moon, among the fireworks, above the cloud mountain, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the six people ate and drank energetically......

Mid-Autumn Festival is beautiful!
