Chapter Seventy-Four: The Banquet
Chen Zhang, Wu Zheng, Fang Zhier, and several other classmates, all of them took the lead in the midterm.
Meng Xiwen hooked the corners of his mouth, found Chen Zhang, and sat down next to him.
The person who was invited according to the results really didn't expect it to be such a Xuanshou Sect and such a Gu Shu.
"It's noisy outside, but it's quiet inside, so we can talk together. I have admired you for a long time, and today I found an opportunity to entertain you. Gu Shu slowly sat down in the main seat.
"You're welcome. This is what we Qingyuan should do, but it bothers you. Several people thanked Gu Shu.
"There's no one who should do it and shouldn't do it. It's just that I gave the autumn sheep, and I just want you to taste the characteristics of the Xuanshou Sect. Gu Shu said, and called someone to start serving.
After a while, a waiter dressed in neat clothes came forward with a plate of delicacies.
Meng Xiwen looked at the waiters who came and went, this is not the little second of Daoxiang Village at the foot of the mountain.
Meng Xi tasted it and looked up, in addition to the waiter, I'm afraid this chef is also from Daoxiang Village.
In just a few days, he was able to invite Daoxiang Village to this side, and it seems that this Gu Shu is more familiar with Qingyuan than he imagined.
It's just that Daoxiangcun's best thing is not mutton cooking after all, and the dishes on the table are not uncommon on the whole, and various parts of the whole sheep are cooked in different ways.
But at this time, the mutton that has just been pasted with autumn fat is abnormally fat. In addition, Qingyuan's food is really unpalatable, compared with the two, but the guests and hosts are happy for a while.
"This mutton tastes like it doesn't taste like the fishy smell of the past, why is that?" Fang Zhi'er slowly swallowed a small piece of mutton and asked Gu Shu.
"Breed issues. Chen Zhang raised his head and opened his mouth in front of Gu Shu while holding the vegetables, "Xuanshou Sect is mainly sheep, and the south is mostly goats.
The lamb meat is delicate, the smell is very light, it is mostly boiled and grilled in water, and the simple seasoning is delicious. The taste of goat meat is strong, but the flavor is heavy, and the thick oil red sauce is mostly used, and all kinds of seasonings bring out the flavor of mutton.
Now, this Xuanshou Sect's sheep was dealt with by the cooks of Daoxiang Village according to Qingyuan's approach. Hey, most of the taste has been lost. ”
Chen Zhang ignored Fang Zhi'er's somewhat stiff expression and continued to speak at her, "Speaking of which, you are also from a big family in Tai'an City, so you can't even tell the difference between these two muttons." After all, in our small place in Yangping, when the time comes, both kinds of mutton are to be tasted. ”
Fang Zhi'er smiled slightly, "The elders in the family can't smell the fishy smell, so mutton is banned in the family." ”
Chen Zhang continued to speak to Fang Zhi'er, "I haven't tasted it, I've always read it in books." ”
Fang Zhi'er continued to smile, just squeezed the chopsticks in her hand, "I've seen it, but it's shallow on paper, and I'm just a little surprised when I try it today." ”
After speaking, Fang Zhi'er lowered her head and ignored Chen Zhang.
However, Gu Shu opened his mouth and pointed to a dish of braised mutton on the table, "I haven't tried to cook mutton like this in the past, and it tastes unique today."
As Fang Zhi'er said just now, it is shallow on paper. If it weren't for the fact that I had such an opportunity in Qingyuan, I couldn't imagine what it was like to be in front of the text. ”
Fang Zhi'er looked up at Gu Shu, smiled gratefully, and lowered her head shyly.
Marriage, of course, cannot be married. But it's not impossible to have a good relationship with the Gu family.
But after all, that's the Gu family.
The Fang family claims to be the largest family in Qingyuan's jurisdiction, but what the actual situation is, Fang Zhi'er knows better than anyone else.
But by being able to give birth, there are many children and grandchildren. From birth, I began to secretly test my qualifications, and I have the ability to cultivate, and I have no ability to marry.
Relying on the ancestors in the early years, he was followed by selling his daughter and robbing his daughter-in-law, but he saved a lot of resources.
It's just that all I think about from above is this, resulting in how many years in a row, there have been no decent juniors. The rivers are going down, and people like the Peng family also want to climb up and get married.
The Fang family was in a hurry, so they found an immortal master to raise them at home, and learned everything in advance, and the distribution of resources was determined by the grades.
In such an environment, if there is no value, there will be absolutely no investment from the family.
Fang Zhi'er remembered Mrs. Fang's words that day, and slowly picked up a piece of mutton and put it in her mouth. The biological mother is unreliable, and always has to find some other backers for herself.
The Gu family is different.
First of all, regardless of whether the Gu family is a serious family of immortal cultivators, there are basically good talents emerging from generation to generation. With the current state of affairs, as long as these people cultivate step by step, it will not be a problem at all to maintain prosperity for hundreds of years.
Besides, Xuanshou Sect is different from Qingyuan. In the Qingyuan Immortal Academy, the power of the family is small, and each immortal master has enough rights.
And the Xuanshou Sect, the family and the sect are closely combined. The person in charge of a family also has the absolute right to speak in the sect.
The Gu family of the Xuanshou Sect and the Gu Shu of the Gu family all have absolute gold content.
Fang Zhi'er thought about it slowly, but Gu Shu opened her mouth to Meng Xiwen, "That day, on the way to Qingyuan, I heard the people of Qiyin Dao mention you. Taoists have always praised you for being smart, clever, bold and careful. After getting along for the past few days, it really lives up to its name. ”
"Ahh Meng Xiwen raised his head suddenly, answered twice with his mouth open, and desperately thought of wording in his head. It's hard to hide it, but you can't hide it here.
"Ah, I didn't expect the people of the Seven Shades to hear my name. Is it my eldest brother Meng Xize who is having an affair with my brother Meng Xize? My brother Meng Xize is one term higher than me, and he is training outside this year. The eldest brother is also exaggerating, which makes you laugh. ”
"Huh?" Gu Shu raised his eyebrows. But looking at Meng Xiwen's eyes, he slowly lowered his brows, suppressed his doubts, and nodded, "Well, I didn't see Brother Ling exaggerating, but I saw you being too modest." ”
Meng Xi smiled kindly, replied to Gu Shu with a few words of praise, and quickly buried himself in the somewhat cool food on the table.
The dodging action was too obvious, Gu Shu guessed that there might be something hidden, so he stopped the topic at the right time and talked to the next person.
Meng Xiwen concentrated on tearing off the mutton from the bones. What if the inside is cleaner and the dishes are diverse, I'm afraid it's not as comfortable as Meng Xipan and them eating around the boiled mutton outside.
Eating is not for delicious food, but for these strange reasons, if Meng Xipan is here, it is estimated that he will be angry.
Perhaps because he was too attentive, Meng Xiwen didn't notice the probing eyes of Chen Zhang next to him.
After that, what happened, Meng Xiwen didn't remember very clearly.
Just remember that several people ate together, Gu Shu chatted with everyone at the table in a timely manner, and the scene was not cold.
Later, listening and chatting, Meng Xiwen gradually felt that such a thing was not interesting, so he concentrated on eating.
But then?
