Chapter Twenty-Five: What a light heart to eat salty turnips
However, until Zhou Xi had almost eaten, he didn't wait for the second piece, and Zhang Hu couldn't stop swallowing his saliva anxiously, and gave Zhou Xi a look.
Glaring at him maliciously, Little Meow smiled evilly.
Zhou Xi has been accustomed to eating all kinds of delicacies since he was a child, but it is the first time he has eaten something of such quality.
If he hadn't tried to keep his sanity and maintain his image in front of these subordinates just now, he would probably have swallowed his tongue a long time ago.
So Zhang Hu's current mood, he can also understand it very well.
It's just that he is not the master of the family this time, and it is not his turn to call the shots when he greets guests to eat.
He could only smile and eat honestly, without making a sound.
Seeing that everyone had eaten almost, Xiao Meow no longer roasted meat, but picked up the smallest one from the leaves, which was also set aside separately, cut it into shredded meat thinly, and cut two small red fruits into two petals, and put them all in the pot of finished leaves.
I poured some plums from the clear and sweet spring water from the stream, made a pot with stones, and boiled them carefully.
Seeing that Xiao Meow had no intention of doing it again, Zhang Hu was also a little depressed.
They were full, and they were still hungry, and after eating the barbecue just now, he felt that all the gluttonous worms were hooked, and now he was churning in his stomach, screaming fiercely.
I want to ask for it and I feel that I can't hold my face, especially the bad performance just now, it should have offended Xiao Meow, and I didn't dare to open my mouth for a while.
But he really wanted to taste it again, and he struggled in his mind for a long time, and finally sighed deeply, thinking: "A dignified seven-foot man, you have to be able to afford to put it down, and the master will not pursue it, and he will eat radishes with a light heart." β
After figuring it out, his lips grinned, and he smiled and whispered flattery: "This little brother Wen, you see that I haven't eaten enough, and you have a lot of meat left, so it's better to bake a few more pieces and let me taste it." β
Little Meow glanced at him, but didn't squeak.
Zhang Hu saw that Xiao Meow didn't react, so he had to lower his voice again, and said without saying anything: "It's really me who is not good just now, I'm a big man, I don't know how to turn around, since the young master has said that he is a friend and an enemy, then how about we shake hands and make peace?"
Xiao Meow raised her eyebrows lightly and said loudly: "Want to shake hands and make peace?"
The surrounding guards were attracted by Xiao Meow's sudden voice and turned their heads to look this way, in fact, they also heard one or two of the movements here, but they were afraid that the boss would settle accounts after the autumn, so they didn't dare to be too blatant.
It's good right now, but I have to bite the bullet.
When Zhang Hu saw this scene, he also understood what Xiao Meow meant, and an imperceptible flush rose on his face.
But then I thought about it, the old man still had to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, not to mention that he was a small head catcher, and he stood up thinking about it.
He clasped his hands together and said loudly: "What I did just now is really inappropriate, since the young master said that it is a friend and not an enemy, then we will be friends in the future, and the old grievances will be written off, and I will not mention it again." β
"As you wish. Little Meow smiled softly and said slowly, but didn't say a word about the barbecue.
Zhang Hu originally thought that if he said this, Xiao Meow would sell his face no matter what, but it backfired, and after holding it for a long time, he had to remind him again.
"Brother Wen, this meat γγγγγγ β
Zhou Xi watched Zhang Hu's attitude change coldly, and finally couldn't help laughing.
And in the middle of the round said: "There is still a lot of meat, you want to eat it, you won't bake it yourself?"
Xiao Meow really didn't want to do it anymore, so she pushed the seasoning package next to her and said, "You can use these first, but you have to make it up for me later, this is my Wen's exclusive formula, and others can't eat it if they want to." β
Zhang Hu looked at the eagle meat, then at the seasoning, and nodded with a wry smile.
He is not a person who knows nothing, and he also knows that all chefs have their own unique recipes, and it is rare that Xiao Meow's attitude towards him has improved, so he can only accept it.
Walking up to the nearest guard, he gave him a kick and said loudly, "Why don't you get up and barbecue yet." β
The named catcher was speechless, where would he do this, but he was afraid that the boss would be angry, so he could only bite the bullet.
The soup was full, Xiao Meow stood up, Li Zi understood, got some damp soil from the side, covered the fire carefully, got up and walked in the direction of the carriage.
"Little meow, which direction is this going, it's better for us to be together, so we can take care of it. Zhou Xi also got up and sincerely invited.
Xiao Meow smiled slightly, this Zhou Xi really doesn't look like a rich son, he is approachable, and he rushed to the three views of this tone, and once again refreshed her status in Xiao Meow's heart, which made her feel good.
His attitude towards him was also sincere.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Hu patted his ass and walked over, laughing loudly: "That's right, little brother Wen, why don't we go on the road together, I used a lot of your seasoning just now, and I will have to make up for it for you later." β
As he said this, he even stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
The appearance of a foodie made Xiao Meow smile, and the previous unhappiness was swept away.
"That's it, let's go together, there are men on the left and right, and there is nothing inconvenient about going on the road together. Zhou Xi continued to persuade.
Don't mention this stubble, Xiao Meow really didn't think of any difference between men and women, but when he said this, she felt inappropriate.
Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Li Zi running over in a hurry.
Before approaching, he blushed and didn't know how to speak: "That, thatγγγγγγ β
"What's the matter?" said Meow with a slight frown.
"Well, the horse ran too fast just now, I don't know if it was because the road was too bumpy, or if the wheels were in disrepair, and there was a crack, and I couldn't work anymore. Li Zi tried hard to say this, and his face turned even redder.
"This is not far from the town, if you walk slowly, can you get to the town?" asked Xiao Meow after a moment's thought.
"If that's the case, it's still okay, but it's bound to delay your trip to Los Angeles. "Li Zi is heartache again, and he is embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can go back to town and fix this carriage, you don't have to worry about my business. Little Meow said lightly, took out a purse from his bosom, and handed it to Lizi.
"I happen to be going to Los Angeles too, and I will stop by with Xiao Meow. When Zhou Xi heard that Xiao Meow was going to Los Angeles, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said.
"That's it, that's it, we will definitely take care of Xiao Meow, so you can go back with confidence. Zhang Hu was even more anxious, lest Xiao Meow run away.
Li Zi pursed his lips gratefully, and his hand swayed again and again, "No need, no need, the previous money is enough, I can't take these anymore." "I didn't send Xiao Meow to Los Angeles, he was sorry enough, how could he be embarrassed to accept the money, and hurriedly excused himself.
"If you want to accept it, you will accept it, what so much nonsense, okay, hurry up and find a place to repair the car, I will take it away, little meow." Zhang Hu couldn't see him like this, grabbed the purse from Xiao Meow's hand, stuffed it into Li Zi's arms, and pushed him forward.
Looking at the backs of the two, Xiao Meow chuckled, turned around and followed Zhou Xi into the carriage.
The foresight knew that the carriage was good, and when he entered it, he knew the beauty of the inside and the comfort of sitting.
In the spacious carriage, not only can it accommodate the little meow lying horizontally and vertically, but it is also impossible to feel a trace of bumps.
"It's very boring to go on the road alone, but I didn't expect Xiao Meow to go to Los Angeles too, just talking, chatting, and life is not so boring. Zhou Xi said, picked up a thin book from the side, pretended to be casual and handed it to Xiao Meow, but in fact, his eyes kept staring at her reaction.
Xiao Meow smiled slightly, took it, and looked at the cover.
A few big words of "Introduction to Cultivating Immortals" came into view, and her eyes widened suddenly, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
I was worried that I had nowhere to inquire about the cultivation realm, but I didn't expect someone to automatically send this book to my eyes.
His heart was hot, but his face was still calm, and he said softly: "Sure enough, it's good to have money, Brother Zhou actually has this good thing, unlike me, I worked hard for a long time, but I couldn't say a word." β
Although Zhou Xi was a few years older than Xiao Meow, when she heard her say this, she was full of joy and anger, and she immediately became excited.
"Xiao Meow is also going to Luohua Sect? β
The expression on Zhou Xi's face didn't seem to be fake, but it also infected Xiao Meow, and the two chatted and watched all the way, which greatly satisfied her curiosity as a rookie, and also made her know a lot more about this cultivation world.
It turned out that in the Qingxi country where Xiao Meow was located, only three people were selected by Luohuazong this time, in addition to the two of them, there was also a woman named Pei Yan, and this Pei Yan was the largest king with a different surname in Qingxi Country, the county lord of the Pei family.
While the small number is staggering, I know that it is not so easy to cultivate immortals, and you must first have a spiritual root.
And the spiritual root is ethereal, not everyone has the opportunity to have it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no one in ten thousand.
Xiao Meow thinks that he has hit the big luck to have the opportunity to cultivate immortals.
But it's one thing to be able to cultivate immortals, and it's another thing to be able to cultivate.
In the entire colorful continent, a country the size of sesame mung beans like Qingxi Country has not ten thousand, but eight thousand, and some of them have a few cities each, and they can be fiefdoms and kings.
So from these small countries alone, tens of thousands of people are selected every five years.
Under such a huge base, there are few resources for cultivating immortals, so even if you can cultivate immortals, the pressure of competition is very great.
And Xiao Meow also learned a new vocabulary from this book, the Xiuxian family.
As I said just now, if you want to cultivate immortals, you must first have a spiritual root, and then you must look at the purity of the spiritual root.
Let's not talk about whether the spiritual root is pure or not, just talking about the spiritual root, tens of thousands or even millions of years ago, it stumped countless powerful monks.
Many large sects also faced the embarrassing situation of lack of succession for a time, so they lost their traditions, and they abounded.
Seeing this situation, the top levels of the major sects finally couldn't sit still.
They agreed to relax their cultivation first, marry a wife and have children, thinking that they would have to leave a legacy no matter what.
But who would have thought that the higher the cultivation, the more difficult it will be for the heirs.
No matter how many concubines they marry, there are very few heirs, and there are even fewer who really have spiritual roots, and the spiritual roots are uneven, and most of them cannot be cultivated.
Under such a blow, many powerful monks regretted that their intestines were cleared.
