There are a group of people in the family who are good at hunting, so the lunch meal is very rich.
Qi Bao'er and Da Li brought back a wild boar weighing about 200 kilograms yesterday. Mrs. Tian and Ye Sanni were so happy today that they both waved in a rare and generous manner and brought half of it as a treat today.
There are also pheasants, ducks, and rabbits. There are six meat dishes in pots.
A pot of braised pork, stuffed potatoes and duck, mushroom stewed chicken soup, stir-fried rabbit, pork belly and cabbage, radish and pork ribs soup.
Compared with meat dishes, the green vegetables are just a bowl of radish slices and a bowl of potato chips.
The staple food is steamed buns and white rice.
When these meals were put on the table, the villagers' eyes lit up, but no one dared to sit down. Is this for people to eat?
This is how the days of gods end!
Old man Qi helped Qi Kaishan out. Qi Kaishan glanced at the table and raised his hand to give old man Qi, "Are you not planning to live the rest of your life?"
One bowl of meat and vegetables is enough for every household in the village to move into a new home, and two bowls of meat and vegetables are the best noodles for a banquet.
How could it be made like this?
Qi Kaishan is now the oldest and most senior person in the whole clan. Old man Qi dare not refute him, so he can only explain honestly in a low voice.
"Yesterday, Guaguai and Dali were lucky enough to encounter a wild boar. Today, it's just a coincidence. We just have two more dishes.
The other meat was also caught by the children themselves in the mountains without spending a penny from the family.
As for those dishes, I obediently asked my mother to take the wild eggs and wild duck eggs at home to the Xiaolin Village next door to exchange for them. It was just a trip and no money.
Speaking of the rice and steamed buns on this table today, they are made by my own family."
Qi Kaishan's expression immediately improved upon hearing this, "Our baby is so blessed. Today we are having a treat at home, but yesterday a wild boar bumped into her and brought her food."
This can all be related, but I hope the old man still agrees with it.
He smiled and nodded, "That's not true."
As for the fact that Qi Bao'er would often carry a dog leg or a few kilograms of meat when he came out of Gaofeng Mountain, the old man Qi selectively forgot about it.
Qi Kaishan was helped by old man Qi to sit down. On the other side, Qi Kangan also asked Daozhang Li and others to sit down.
Qi Kaishan did not treat Old Qi and his family as outsiders. He sat down naturally and greeted them with a smile.
First, I chatted with Taoist Li who was at the same table for a few words. Seeing that the villagers were still standing solemnly, I asked with a smile: "Are you going to eat standing up? Sit down quickly, sit down, it's so good today."
Don’t waste a whole table of food, eat it all with an open stomach and eat until you are full.”
Brothers Qi Old Man and Qi Kang'an also greeted people separately.
When the host is polite, the guests naturally feel at ease and sit down one after another with a smile.
Hong Kong Zhen, with such a sumptuous meal on the table in front of them, how could they not think about it? Just now when they were chatting and gossiping next to each other, a bowl of delicious food was brought out, and their mouths were really watering this morning.
There are no Taoist priests here who don't eat meat, and Taoist priests and Taoist nuns can still marry.
Daochang Li and his several disciples were relatively polite at first, but then they took down their chopsticks faster and faster, eating each bite of meat and each bite of steamed buns that tasted delicious.
Especially Daochang Li, it seems that the "person who was too worried about his eldest disciple to eat" when he was talking to Qi Bao'er just now is not him. He was eating braised pork one after another and didn't even have time to bite the steamed buns in his hand.
But that's what makes him so good. He eats no slower than the villagers who are fighting for food, but he is not rude at all, and he has not lost any of his dignity as a worldly expert.
Qi Bao'er, Qi Bao'er didn't eat with everyone in the courtyard today. She knew that the villagers were designated to grab food. Qi Bao'er ate a lot, but she also ate slowly. She liked to chew slowly if conditions allowed.
If you want to eat with everyone, you can't compete with others.
So there was a children's table in the dining hall, and the women who helped cook all ate in the kitchen. Mrs. Tian and her three daughters-in-law also ate with everyone in the kitchen. The whole table in the dining hall was filled with children from Lao Qi's family.
Fortunately, the fellow disciples did not forget Ye Yang, who was still 'lying corpse' in Yunhua Temple, and left in a hurry after the meal.
Qi Bao'er was worried about going to Yunhua Temple to pray for health. Da Lang had just introduced Qi into his body and couldn't be too far away from Qi Bao'er. He was worried about practicing forks. Well, the father and son were mainly curious, so they raised their heads in human form.
Ride along and follow.
Yong'an City is surrounded by more than just Yunhua Temple, Qing'an Temple, and Bishui Temple, but Yunhua Temple is the largest and most majestic one, and the one with the deepest silhouette.
Along the way, Daochang Li introduced: There are three sects and five temples in Taoism on this continent. One of the three sects is the Yunhua Sect, and the Yunhua Temple is the branch of the Yunhua Sect in each city.
It is said that the Yunhua Temple here in Yong'an City should be crowded with people and guests every day. After all, it is a famous family.
But when Qibaoer and the others came up today, all they saw was silence.
The gate was closed, and the open space outside the gate was covered with fallen leaves. It looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time.
Taoist priest Li had a look. When he saw Qi Bao'er on Qi Kangan's back, his eyes swept across the ground. He immediately asked a disciple to open the door and explained:
"For some reason, strange things have happened in various places in the past six months. There are also many strange things near Yong'an City, and everyone in the temple has gone out."
Their masters and disciples had already taken the order from praying for Kang'an and hurried back in the morning.
Qi Kang'an was a little confused: "Is Yong'an City often haunted recently?"
Why haven't you heard of it?
Daochang Li smiled and glanced at the little man on his back with admiration, "The Lord of Anle County is famous far and wide. Most ghosts don't dare to go to Qijia Village, and they don't even dare to get close to it."
Although the common people basically know that there are ghosts in this world, the imperial court can still hide such things when they can. Naturally, ordinary people will not know about such things.
Dali was so shocked that he asked in a voice: "My sister is so powerful?"
He admitted that his sister was very powerful, but being so famous... seemed a bit exaggerated.
Everyone had already arrived at the gate. Taoist Li took a few steps forward to guide the father and son.
"The Lord of Anle County opened a ghost gate in Guanjiao Pass and sent tens of thousands of ghosts to the underworld, including several ghost generals. This fact has long been known in Xuanmen.
To be honest, Lord Anle County and Master Qi Eldest Young Master, our sect has long known about the gathering of ghosts in Guanjiao Pass, and has sent several groups of sect members there, but,,, they all left and never came back."
Daochang Li's tone did not sound too sad, but because he was walking at the front, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes that no one could see.
"At that time, the sect leader was afraid that the pass would become a place of death due to the gathering of evil spirits, so all the monastery leaders of the Yunhua sect across the country were recruited to go there."
Having said this, he suddenly turned around and gave Qi Baobao a deep bow, "Thank you so much, Lord Anle, if it hadn't been for Lord Anle's intervention, our temple master and the other temple masters might have gone without return."
At that time, their contemplative master made a prediction for himself before setting off. It was supposed to be a certain death situation, but there was a faint glimmer of hope.
The same goes for the observers of other temples.
They all thought that this glimmer of hope came after they arrived at the pass. Unexpectedly, the guests/persons of each of their temples were still halfway there, and that glimmer of hope came first.
There are no secrets in the world of metaphysics. The one above may not be able to reach heaven, but the one below may be able to reach the underworld.
Therefore, the court did not tell anyone, and all parties tried their best to hide it, but people in the metaphysical community basically knew Qi Baoer's name.
