Lu Zheng suddenly looked up and saw the familiar old beggar.
"Huh?"
Only then did the old beggar discover Lu Zheng, a young man he had met once before.
That day, this young man was kind-hearted and rewarded himself with a bowl of chicken drumstick rice and a glass of wine to quench his thirst, which just made his worldly mind that he was cultivating a step further, and he reciprocated the favor, relieving him of a minor disaster.
Unexpectedly, we met again after more than two years.
and……
Not only was he filled with Qi and blood, and filled with Taoist charm, but he was also accompanied by a stunning fox girl who was full of merit and virtue.
Could it be that this kid is actually a peerless genius in cultivation?
"senior!"
Lu Zheng's eyes lit up, he stood up immediately, bowed and saluted, "With the help of my seniors that day, I was able to avoid a disaster. Seniors, please take a seat!"
Lu Zheng immediately pulled out the long chair on the left side and helped the old beggar sit down.
"No! You can't take it!" The old beggar stretched out his hand to stop Lu Zheng's hand, but he did not refuse Lu Zheng's invitation and sat down.
…
It is said that as soon as he came in smelling the fragrance, he saw a man and a woman eating together.
Of course the old beggar was not blind, so he decisively used his eyes to look over, and found out that the man was a Taoist and a martial artist, and the woman was a three-tailed fox girl.
But he only saw Qi Ji, but not Lu Zheng's face, so he didn't recognize him immediately.
However, facing a man and a monster, the old beggar didn't care, and was not prepared to reveal his identity, so he went directly to beg for food.
After all, he is just an old beggar, dim-sighted and pitiful. He is just begging for food. Who does he need to care about?
He thought that since the young man was a member of the Taoist sect and the woman had many meritorious deeds, he would definitely reward him with a chicken drumstick to eat. However, he did not expect that he met an acquaintance who had helped him before.
…
Now he could no longer pretend, so the old beggar could only wave his hands and sit on the table.
"Boss! Here's another bowl of noodles!" Lu Zheng shouted, then he tore the roast chicken spread on the oil paper into several large pieces and pushed it in front of the old beggar, "Senior, please use it!"
The old beggar was not polite, he took a chicken drumstick with a smile and started to chew it.
Liu Qingyan looked at Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng nodded and introduced, "I was not yet on the Taoist path, and once I was targeted by a... thief. It was this senior who saved me."
"Liu Qingyan has met senior." Liu Qingyan leaned forward.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." The old beggar's mouth was full of chicken and he waved his hand, "He is just a flower picker. Even if the old beggar doesn't take action, your husband-in-law will not die."
"Flower picker?" Liu Qingyan's eyes widened.
Lu Zheng lowered his head and held his forehead.
Seeing Lu Zheng's expression, Liu Qingyan blinked and thought about it, her cheeks trembled slightly, and it took a lot of effort not to laugh.
Lu Zheng took a deep breath, then reacted, raised his hands and saluted, "Lu Zheng, a layman from the outer sect of Baiyun Temple, has met my senior."
"Well, the old beggar's surname is Liu, you can just call me Old Beggar Liu." The old beggar nodded. He had just figured out Lu Zheng's origins.
Thinking that Baiyun Temple has a branch temple in Tonglin County, you will know what is going on.
I think I met myself, and then I wholeheartedly sought the truth, and I came to Baiyun Temple.
Baiyun Temple enters the world and recruits disciples, so naturally it also recruits disciples in the secular world. Although Lu Zheng is a little older, there is still no problem in being an outsider.
only……
"I didn't expect that in just two years, you would have such a Taoist practice. Baiyunguan has picked up a treasure." The old beggar looked Lu Zheng up and down, and said with a tsk in his mouth, "Practice hard, and you will become Xiantian Yun in the future."
Qi, be the master of Baiyun Temple."
Lu Zheng, "..."
"Senior is joking."
Lu Zheng answered with a smile, then reached out and patted the gourd on his waist. A small jar and three wine glasses flew out of the gourd's mouth, and then stopped steadily on the table.
"Um?"
The old beggar sniffed and his eyes suddenly brightened, "What a fragrant wine!"
Lu Zheng opened the wine jar, and a fragrance instantly filled the surroundings, "With meat but no wine, how is it the way to entertain guests?"
He picked up the wine jar and filled the three glasses one by one. Then he raised his glasses and said in a clear voice, "Senior Liu, please!"
Liu Qingyan also rolled up her sleeves and raised her glass, "Please!"
The old beggar couldn't wait for a long time. He reached out and picked up the cup, touched it with the two of them, immediately raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Smells! Good wine!" The old beggar let out a long breath, "What kind of wine is this?"
"Huadiao." Lu Zheng said with a smile, and then patted the gourd.
The next moment, a plate of braised beef, a plate of braised chicken feet, a plate of braised pork offal, and a plate of peanuts appeared on the table.
Old beggar, "..."
I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then I heard the sound of swallowing one after another.
There is no way, everyone is eating vegetarian noodles, even if there are two with dried meat occasionally, how can it be compared to the cooked food braised food made with modern seasonings?
Isn't it a good idea to stick to the scent alone?
Lu Zheng pointed at the plate of braised pork offal with his chopsticks and introduced, "Senior, you may not think that this is just pig offal, but after it is marinated with seasonings, it has a unique flavor. Pork liver, pork belly, pork intestine, pig head, and ears are all delicacies in the world.
!Would you like to try it?”
The old beggar nodded. He was an old beggar, and it was not like he had never eaten pig offal before. So he stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of pig intestine, and put it into his mouth.
"Um--"
“Yum! So delicious!”
"I have lived for hundreds of years, and this is the first time I know that pig intestines are so delicious!"
Good guy! Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan couldn't help but look at each other.
No wonder, let’s just say that I can’t feel the energy of this old beggar at all. It turns out that he is a master of this level!
What else is there to say?
lick!
"It's delicious, please eat more!" Lu Zheng enthusiastically poured another glass of wine for the old beggar, "Let's drink Huadiao first. After we finish it, I have another aged wine here, which is rich and fragrant."
"And another drink?"
"Yes!" Lu Zheng nodded and said, "I sent a batch of wine back to Baiyun Temple during the Chinese New Year. Seeing that many elders liked it very much, so the younger generation kept some more in the gourd and brought some jars to the seniors later.
"
The old beggar tried to refuse, but his lips moved a few times and he finally did not speak.
Well, mainly because I was chewing chicken feet and couldn’t say anything!
"Young Master... face..."
The boss came over with noodles, but when he saw the table full of meat, he didn't know whether to serve it or not.
"Come on, come on, put it here." Lu Zheng asked the boss to put down the noodles, then patted the gourd and took out the oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and various meat and vegetable savory seeds he had prepared before.
After some mixing, a little sesame oil was finally poured in, and the various seasonings combined with the fragrance of natural hand-rolled noodles immediately filled the air.
