Chapter 43 Green vegetables and tofu
"Hmph!" Zhong Bao had to swallow the evil breath in his mouth with hatred and hate, and stopped speaking.
When a strong person asks the weak to eat according to their ability, the weak person has no other way but to swallow his anger and shut up.
"Don't be unconvinced, if you want to eat in your life, you have to rely on your own ability, even the green vegetables and tofu in front of you also have to rely on your current ability to fight for it to eat. Zhao Keming stood up, pointed to a table of green vegetables and tofu next to him, and continued: "The square table can only seat four people, according to last night's resilience assessment, Ding Pei won, she will sit at a table with me tonight, enjoy the braised steam."
Everyone suddenly realized, it turned out that this is the so-called eating by ability, and it is just an assessment of learning arts, not deliberately making things difficult and abusing or the arrogant enjoyment of the teacher's self-esteem, on the one hand, they apologized for the master who had mistakenly scolded him in his heart before, and he was a little jealous that this Ding Pei could enjoy such a sumptuous dinner.
Zhao Keming turned his eyes, looked at Zhao Lin and Zhong Bao, and said indifferently: " As for the remaining five of you, you can only eat another table of green vegetables and tofu, and if you follow last night's ranking, Li Yuanqing, who went up the mountain last, can't sit and eat with you, you can only eat standing at the same table, and every dinner in the future will be considered the day's assessment ranking competition, if from now on, Li Yuanqing will be the last place every day, you can only stand and eat until one of you is defeated, and Li Yuanqing will take the seat of the one of you who was defeated. ”
After Zhao Keming finished speaking, his face was serious, although he kept talking, he had been quietly paying attention to Li Yuanqing with his eyes, because Zhao Keming was also hesitant in his heart, he made a bet with himself, betting that this young man's heart must be bearable, that is to win, and it is a win-win, Zhao Keming won a good disciple, a good disciple who can carry forward the Iron Sword Gate, Li Yuanqing has won an unpredictable potential cultivation; , Li Yuanqing lost the future of his life, and Zhao Keming may lose even more, because it is not easy to explain to the mysterious old Yu.
Li Yuanqingzai listened carefully and did not miss a word, because it was about dignity. Li Yuanqing's clenched teeth finally loosened, and the knuckles that were pinched and painful were slowly released, thinking about it carefully, Zhao Keming was right, people should eat by their ability in their lives, and their parents were looked down upon in a small town, just because they had no ability, in the face of the shrew's unprovoked abuse of their mother, they hid behind the door or because they had no ability, did they have to return to such a powerless situation?
Li Yuanqing silently recited fiercely: "Never go back to the past, after sixteen years of kneeling life in the town, and now that you can stand and eat, how can you give up the dignity of standing now, and then return to the humiliation of kneeling in the past." Thinking of this, Li Yuanqing was relieved, there was no trace of unhappiness or resentment in his heart, only one thought insisted.
Looking at Li Yuanqing's tense expression and relaxed fists, Zhao Keming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and continued: " In the days to come, none of you are lucky, even if someone goes down the mountain halfway, I will only remove a stool, and the last one will still stand to eat, because the last one should stand, even if the six of you only have Ding Pei or Zhao Lin left in the end, you can only stand and eat with me, unless you win the battle, I will be qualified to be equal to me, and I will be qualified to enjoy the braised pork in this bowl with me. ”
"Master is right, in this Jianghu where the strong are respected, they eat by their own skills. The first to express his stance was the usually taciturn Lei Hate.
Zhao Keming said with relief and pride: "It is worthy of being the senior brother of my Iron Sword Sect, well said!"
The rough Lei Ha felt embarrassed, touched the back of his head with his backhand, and said stupidly: "Although he is a senior brother, his martial arts are far inferior to Senior Brother Lin, and he is ashamed of his master." ”
Zhao Keming looked like he hated iron and steel, and sighed in disappointment: "Thunder hate, thunder hate, martial arts all the way to pay attention to talent, but pay more attention to the mind-minded pattern, if you are too persistent in cultivating to be strong and weak, you will fall into the bottleneck of blindly seeking progress, it is better to fight with people than to fight with the sky, it is better to fight with others than to fight with yourself, you will understand in the future." ”
Zhao Keming turned his head and continued: "And you must remember in the future, in the daily seat ranking assessment competition, no matter who is standing to eat, you must remember that this is not a punishment, but encouragement and motivation, because standing and running will be faster, and running will naturally make faster progress." ”
"Disciple follow Master's teachings!" Ding Pei, Zhao Lin, Zhong Bao, Lei Hat, and Li Yuanqing all bowed down and replied, but Shen Yao was the only one who sat down first, and said with a mischievous smile: "Since you have to run faster when you stand, why don't you eat faster when you sit!"
Zhao Keming laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, yes, you all have to be like Shen Yao in the future, and you have to work hard all the time." ”
Ding Pei didn't know when he was already sitting opposite Zhao Keming, bowing his head indifferently, not sad or happy, holding a chopstick, bowing his head and taking a bite of rice, chewing carefully!
Zhao Lin was free and easy, he sat down with his legs raised, facing this father, who was usually very strict in teaching martial arts, he had long been accustomed to such an arrangement, smiled indifferently, lifted the bowl and picked up the chopsticks, and ate it chirp, it was extremely delicious, and he was really hungry for a day and a night.
Zhong Bao was unwilling in his heart, with a look of disdain and disgust, and thought to himself: "That Ding Pei's martial arts are unbearable and he is a child of the slave market, how can he be a senior sister and still sit and eat with the master, isn't it just the endurance of the stock, it should be me Zhong Bao who sits and eats meat tomorrow night!"
"Eat, eat" Lei Hat, who has always been careless, has long been so hungry that his eyes are black, and he muttered two sentences like a rope, and the ape arm lightly grabbed the dishes and chopsticks and ate and drank.
Li Yuanqing walked to the table, stood beside Lei Ha, picked up the bowl with chopsticks, reached out and picked up a piece of mapo tofu, chewed it carefully, it was far from being as delicious as that fried by his mother, this pepper was less, and the tofu was too loose, and it was fried like tofu dregs.
Not far away, Zhao Keming was eating braised pork knuckle while secretly looking at Li Yuanqing, and his heart became more and more admired and expected, admiring this old man with vicious eyes, being able to be so discerning and talented, and looking forward to Li Yuanqing, who has such perseverance and tenacity, what kind of cultivation will he achieve along the way to martial arts.
