Looking at Li Wendao's appearance, Shangguan Yunlong did not continue to dwell on this issue, he knew that Li Wendao was really like this, and it was not that he didn't care about Shangguan Allure.

So I didn't continue to say more to Li Wenwen on this issue, but just continued.

"Anyway, I still have to thank Li Gongzi, I will trouble you in the future. It's just that Li Gongzi, you don't have any apprenticeship ceremony, do you think you should let the old man arrange for someone to prepare? After all, apprenticeship is not a trivial matter. ”

Hearing Shangguan Yunlong's words, Li Wenwen shook his head with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, cultivators don't need to pay attention to so much red tape, since Allure has already performed the apprenticeship ceremony, then he is naturally an apprentice below. As for other etiquette or something, there is no need for it. ”

For this point, Shangguan Yunlong naturally did not approve, and hurriedly said,

"How can this make such a big thing as apprenticeship be sloppy? No, absolutely not! The old decay will let people prepare the things needed for the apprenticeship ceremony, Li Gongzi can rest assured, this will not take long. ”

Li Wendao looked at Shangguan Yunlong's appearance, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, but he also knew that now was not the time to be speechless, so he should hurry up and stop Shangguan Yunlong and say it again, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

Red tape is the last thing Li Wendao wants to be contaminated with except for cause and effect, and cultivators are already carefree, so they naturally don't like to be bound by these etiquette.

Then he said to Shangguan Yunlong.

"Mr. Shangguan, don't worry, you listen to me first. ”

As soon as Li Wendao opened his mouth, he stopped Shangguan Yunlong, although Shangguan Yunlong felt that the apprenticeship was more anxious, but what he cared about the most was Li Wenwen. So I hurriedly asked.

"I don't know what else Li Gongzi has to order?"

"Mr. Shangguan, in fact, there is really no need for an apprenticeship ceremony, there are no such rules in Chunyang, and there is really an introductory ceremony to be held, I think it is better to go back to Chunyang and hold it again.

After all, that is where the master is, and when the time comes, there will be just the elders of the master to testify, so naturally it will not be a sloppy response. ”

Shangguan Yunlong listened to it, and thought about it. Although Shangguan Yunlong really wanted to hold the apprenticeship ceremony directly at Shangguan's house, seeing that Li Wendao was like this, he really didn't want to hold it now.

Besides, what Li asked was reasonable, he also took into account his own feelings, and it was indeed more in line with the rules to go to Chunyang's side to hold the ceremony of initiation and apprenticeship, so Shangguan Yunlong had no choice but to agree.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yunlong also asked Li Qian.

"That's good, so it's up to Li Gongzi, but although it's getting late now, since Li Gongzi arrived today, the old man hasn't entertained Li Gongzi well. So I also asked Li Gongzi to forgive the old man for his presumptuousness, and also asked Li Gongzi to rest after dinner. ”

Shangguan Yunlong's behavior is indeed worthy of the word "presumptuous", after all, it is almost the middle of the night now, and it stands to reason that it should have been the time to rest, so at this time, it should be necessary for Li Wendao to rest.

But Li Wendao did come today, and he didn't even drink saliva and started to solve the problem for Shangguan Chengcheng, so if he didn't entertain Li Wendao at this time, it seemed a little unreasonable.

In fact, this is mainly because Shangguan Yunlong didn't expect that it would take so long for Li Wendao to deal with the problem of Shangguan Allure, otherwise, he must have entertained Li Wendao directly when Li Wendao arrived at Shangguan's house.

But now Shangguan Yunlong didn't expect it, so it caused the embarrassment of the current period. For this, Shangguan Yunlong also has nothing to do.

Li Wenwen looked at Shangguan Yunlong's cautious appearance and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, Mr. Shangguan said with a smile, what is presumptuous or not, I happen to be hungry in Xia, it's good to eat something first. ”

Li Wendao naturally knew what Shangguan Yunlong was struggling with, but Li Wendao didn't care too much about what Shangguan Yunlong was struggling with. After all, everyone is a monk, and they don't really care so much about things like sleep, so naturally they don't feel that Shangguan Yunlong is presumptuous.

What's more, compared to sleeping, Li Wenwen is more concerned about food, after all, for a veteran foodie, nothing is more important than nothing.

Shangguan Yunlong saw that Li Wendao didn't mean to blame himself, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke.

"That's good, then trouble Li Gongzi to move to the backyard first, and then the old man ordered someone to prepare some wine and food to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Li Gongzi. ”

"That's very good, but it's going to trouble Mr. Shangguan. ”

"Haha, Li Gongzi laughed, Li Gongzi has great kindness to my Shangguan family, and the old man is just preparing some wine and food to entertain Li Gongzi. Where can these things compare to Li Gongzi's favor?

It's just that I also ask Li Gongzi not to dislike it, after all, the cook of my Shangguan family may be a little worse than the Xianling Pavilion. ”

"Haha, Mr. Shangguan laughed, although it is delicious, but it is still not picky, and I also believe that the chef in Mr. Shangguan's house will not disappoint him. ”

As he spoke, Li Wendao followed Shangguan Yunlong to the backyard, although Shangguan Yunlong did not take Li Wendao to those houses dedicated to eating, but only planned to sit in the open air.

But Li Wenwen didn't feel any discomfort, but liked it very much. After all, if you go to the dining hall or private room to eat, although it is said to be formal, you always feel that there is a feeling of alienation, but it is better to sit in the open air without this kind of feeling.

After all, this kind of unrestrained environment, there is no need to deliberately pay attention to etiquette, and in Li Wenwen's opinion, there is more human touch in it. After all, he has a lot to do with the official family, so it's naturally a good thing to be able to get closer.

The meal was very simple, there was not much variety, just a fire was set up in the middle of the courtyard, and then a whole sheep was set up on it, the sheep were just ordinary livestock, not some fierce beast or even a demon beast.

This discovery made Li Wenwen quite strange, after all, with the ability of the Shangguan family, it stands to reason that he should not eat such an "ordinary" thing.

In fact, where is the need for the Shangguan family, in this world, I don't know how many families with a little bit of power may have to disdain this ordinary food. After all, in their eyes, even if they don't eat any fierce beasts and demon beasts, then at least they have to eat some rare beasts to be worthy of their identity.

Otherwise, how could ordinary food show their identity? Therefore, according to Li Wenwen's understanding, the Shangguan family should not use such "ordinary" ingredients.

Of course, Li Wendao also knew that this was not because the Shangguan family was too slack on himself, after all, Li Wendao still knew his status in Shangguan Yunlong's heart, so this can only show that the Shangguan family is usually like this.

From here, Li asked, it can also be seen that the Shangguan family's savings may be the same reason as the Shangguan family's mansion is not extravagant and wasteful, right?

However, although the ingredients are simple, the baked things are not bad at all, not to mention the golden color, just the fragrance wafting from the air makes Li Wendao can't help but be moved.

Looking at Li Wendao who seemed to like the whole sheep being roasted, Shangguan Yunlong couldn't help but say on the side.

"Li Gongzi, don't look at this as just an ordinary sheep, but the taste of this mutton is far beyond the ordinary. ”

Li Wenwen heard Shangguan Yunlong say that it was an ordinary sheep, but he said that it was special, and he couldn't help but have some doubts about this contradictory statement. And then asked,

"I don't know what Mr. Shangguan means by this? Since it is an ordinary sheep, is there anything special about it?"

Hearing Li's question, Shangguan Yunlong also opened his mouth to explain.

"Li Gongzi didn't know that this sheep came from the northern grassland, and in recent years, the northern grassland has been smooth and rainy, and the water and grass are fertile. Therefore, there was no war with Fujian.

On the contrary, because of the opening of the border market, it also made a lot of transactions with Fujian, among which the largest transaction volume was naturally horses, as well as cattle and sheep.

Although horses are regulated, cattle and sheep are not so restricted. Therefore, it is natural that most of the cattle and sheep in Fujian are from the grassland.

And I have to admit that the meat quality of cattle and sheep on the grassland is not ordinarily fat, so it is naturally loved by the whole country of Fujian. ”

Li Wendao listened to Shangguan Yunlong's introduction, and naturally knew the meaning of Shangguan Yunlong's previous contradictory words. Indeed, relatively speaking, the water and grass on the grassland are fertile, so the cattle and sheep raised are naturally better than those raised in captivity in Fujian.

In addition, because of the opening of the border market, a large number of cattle and sheep poured into the territory of Fujian, so the price of cattle and sheep was relatively low, so it naturally went to the people's table.

I have to admit that the opening of the border gate city of Fujian is of great benefit to the people and the grassland. It's just that while thinking of the benefits, Li Wenwen also thought of another question.

That is, the stability of this city has certain limitations, that is, it needs to be smooth, and the tribes on the other side of the grassland do not have a stable residence, and they generally go to another grassland after grazing in one grassland.

They can be said to go wherever there is water and grass, these grassland tribes are far more dependent on the time of the day than the Central Plains peoples, if the wind and rain are smooth, everything is fine.

However, if the weather is not beautiful in any year, then there may be problems in the end, after all, the cattle and sheep they raise have nothing to eat, so it will lead to them not having food.

They can't starve to death if they don't have anything to eat, right? So what they have to do at this time is to loot. And the closest mainland countries to the grassland is Fujian, which means that if there is a problem on the grassland, then the first to suffer is Fujian.

In this way, the grassland has always been a hidden danger for Fujian, but there seems to be no solution to this.

Li Wenwen believes that this problem is not discovered by himself, and that the mainland has been unified countless times over the past thousand years, but no matter what time it is, none of them seem to have been solved on the grassland.

Whether it is Xianqin or Long Han, although it is said that they have beaten the grassland tribe back to their ancestral land, they have not really solved this problem at any time, and if it is solved, then there will be no current problem.

According to historical records, it seems that there are only three and a half immortal dynasties that have handled the grassland tribes properly, one is the immortal Qin, the old Qin, and the iron cavalry is unparalleled, and the Great Wall is built to block the grassland outside the Great Wall.

There is also Long Han, Emperor Wu's cry of "Kou can go, I can also go", that is, Li Wendao did not see that scene, but he still couldn't help but yearn for it. It was an immortal dynasty that directly beat the grassland tribe and couldn't raise its head, and it was also the only immortal dynasty in the Central Plains that had achieved such a feat for thousands of years.

Another is the Tang Dynasty, the four Yi surrendered, and all states came to the dynasty, although it was not a pure force suppression like Long Han, but a relatively soft way, but it was the best way to deal with the relationship with the grassland tribes.

The other half is the Great Sui, the Immortal Dynasty before Li Tang, and the specific merits Li Wendao did not praise it, after all, those are all things recorded in historical materials. And speaking of which, Li asked if his bloodline still had grievances with the Great Sui.

But even so, Li Wendao still has to admit that the Great Sui, the immortal dynasty, has still made indelible contributions to resisting the barbarians and to the people of the world. The digging of canals and the implementation of imperial examinations are all things that are beneficial to everything.

In addition to these, Li Wendao found that there really did not seem to be any dynasty that could solve the problem of the grassland tribes, and the grassland tribes had been like a stalk for the Central Plains for thousands of years.

Although the current grassland tribe seems to be at peace with the Min State, Li Wendao knows that these are just appearances. He knew that if the heavens were not beautiful in any year, then the first thing the grassland tribe would have to do was the Min country, which now seemed to be quite close.

Regarding this point, Li asked and believed that these high-level officials of the Fujian State would not be unaware, but they just didn't know whether the Fujian State would be able to withstand the problem of living on the grassland tribe side at that time.

It's just that Li Wendao doesn't want to think about these problems now, what he is paying attention to now is the mutton that has been roasted, just smelling the rich fragrance, Li Wendao knows that the roasted whole sheep is very good.

Seeing that the mutton was roasted, Shangguan Yunlong did not let Li Wendao wait for a long time, but stepped forward directly and personally cut a few pieces of mutton for Li Wendao.

Regarding Shangguan Yunlong's behavior, Shangguan Yufeng knew that Li Wendao was Li Tang's orphan, so it was understandable for his father to do this.

It's just that the elder brother Shangguan Yufeng understands, but Shangguan Chengcheng, who is the younger sister, doesn't quite understand why his father did this.

It stands to reason that even if Li Wendao is his master, it may not be the same generation as his father, and coupled with Li Wendao's age, it doesn't seem to be worthy of Shangguan Yunlong's treatment.

It's not that Shangguan Chengcheng is disrespectful to his master, it's just that he just thinks so. However, although he didn't understand it very well, Shangguan Allure didn't ask, after all, Shangguan Yunlong cared a little more about his master, which made him feel very happy as an apprentice.
