Head Li, the elders and others escorted Elder Yi and the Le family sisters out of the main hall. They returned to the main hall to collect the gifts brought by the little girl and make a register.
The ingredients are naturally sent to the kitchen, and the elixirs and medicinal tea are put into storage first.
The core courtyard of the Guanyin Hall is the central hall in the middle of the upper room, and the main halls on the east and west sides without partitions. The east hall and the west hall are both used for setting banquets when doing important events or for the entire sect to discuss matters. They can accommodate all the disciples of the entire sect in one hall.
.
The master always lives in the east wing, and the seven rooms in the west wing are warehouses, divided into three rooms. The warehouse in the middle hall collects the most precious and rare items, and the two rooms on both sides store high-end treasures and ordinary collections respectively.
The exterior of the warehouse is the same as other buildings. The interior is made of the oldest mixed material of glutinous rice, lime and yellow mud, and the interior is decorated with wood.
Head Li led everyone to register the gifts, opened the middle room of the warehouse, stored the elixirs, and then discussed what gift to give to Miss Le.
After a group of people finished their discussion and wanted to invite the little girl to the garden to drink tea and enjoy the scenery, they found that the person was not within the scope of the Guanyin Hall. After searching again, they found out that Mr. Yi had taken the Le family siblings to the bay, and he did not send anyone to rush him.
Get started with the evening feast.
The menu for the Jie Feng Cleansing Banquet started to be planned when Elder Yi sent word that Miss Le would visit in October. After drafting the menu, the ingredients were prepared. Only fresh seafood is the freshest.
The dinner was ready in the evening before the sun set.
When the sun was halfway down the sea, a disciple reported that Chief Yi had returned with the Le family sisters. Head Li immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare food, and then sent Li Zhao to the small courtyard where Elder Yi lived to invite people.
Le Yun brought her younger brother back to the guest house, and agreed with the old ant. They threw the shells they picked up into the stone jar that collected the water from the eaves to keep them first, and then went to change clothes. After staying at the beach for too long, they looked for seafood again, and there were stains on their clothes.
It smells like oysters.
The three people, old and young, had a new look. Within a few minutes, Li Zhao came to invite them to the main hall for dinner. Elder Yi took the little girl and his young disciple to the main hall.
Leshan, that smart little kid, hugged his little senior brother when he saw him and asked him to lead him, and excitedly shared his experience at the seaside. When he saw the head senior brother in the main hall, he immediately started to take steps with his short legs.
He ran over and hugged the head brother's thigh, laughing so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.
"Brother Shi, Brother Shi, Brother Shi, took my sister and me to the beach to play. The sea is so wide, the water is so blue, and those boats are so big. I was digging for shells on the beach, but I didn't find anything.
Oh, Wet Pot took me to look for shells in the sea, and we caught a lot of shells..."
The childish voice filled the whole courtyard.
Leader Li, who was being carried on his lap, was pleasantly surprised that his junior brother was willing to cling to him. He picked up the baby and happily listened to him talk about his seaside travels. When he heard that he had caught seafood, he was extremely surprised: "My junior brother actually found a shell."
, Great, did the shell bite your little hand?"
"No, the shell didn't bite me." In order to prove that he had not been bitten by the shell, Leshan stretched out his white and fat little hand to show to his senior brother: "Senior brother, look, my hands are fine. Shi Hu said that the shells picked up today will not bite me."
When it comes to biting, they have no teeth, and their shells are so stupid that they won’t even run away when you catch them.”
The little milk baby giggled again when he said something happy.
The little guy disliked seafood as being stupid, and all the disciples in the Guanyin Hall were amused. The shells that can be caught are stupid, and the shells that can run are smart?
Headmaster Li hugged his junior brother and asked Miss Le to go to the east hall. He also teased his junior brother: "If Beike runs away, my junior brother will cry in anger."
"That's right," Leshan thought for a while: "Brother, I didn't catch enough today. My sister said I'll catch it when I have time tomorrow afternoon. Wetpot said there are many shells in the water. I want to ask the brothers to take me.
Can you go catch some shells?"
Junior Brother Waba discussed with him in a sweet voice, and Master Li's heart warmed up. He nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay. If you are free tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, senior brothers will accompany you to the beach to find shells."
After successfully persuading the most authoritative senior brother, Leshan was so happy that he hugged the leader's senior brother's neck, came closer, gave the senior senior brother a "baji" kiss on the face, and then grinned.
Young Junior Brother Baby came over, smelling like milk, and kissed his face softly and tenderly. Master Li was so surprised that his bones were numb, his heart was filled with joy, and his eyes narrowed to a slit.
His mouth was grinning from ear to ear.
He was so happy. A bunch of senior brothers next to him were jealous, and their hearts were full of sourness. He was obviously everyone's junior brother, but they hadn't been able to hug him yet, but the leader got his kiss from him!
There is only a small distance from the Moon Gate to the East Hall. The kung fu ladies who had spoken a few words all arrived outside the gate of the East Hall. The main hall also has double folding doors. In the Guanyin Hall, except for the cook and the little girl waiting for entertainment,
The head of the group and the other disciples have all taken their seats.
There are currently six generations in the Guanyin Hall. The sixth generation is the children of certain disciples. They are disciples and family members of the Guanyin Hall. The children of that generation did not attend with their parents. A total of five generations of disciples attended the dinner.
When all the disciples at the table saw the leader's little girl coming, they all stood up to greet her.
Head Li held his junior brother in his arms and took the little girl Yin Le into the east hall and to a table in the middle.
The east hall is wide and can accommodate hundreds or dozens of tables. Because some disciples have not returned to the sect, there are currently about 300 disciples from the fifth generation, so only thirty or so tables can be accommodated.
The middle table is located in the center of the east hall, and the other tables are arranged in an orderly manner around the middle table.
Head Li and the elders sat at the main table with the little girl Le, while Li Zhao and his senior brothers went to sit at the tables to the left, right and behind the main table.
Le Yun wanted her younger brother to sit with his younger brothers, but Master Li was unwilling to do so. He asked the little girl to sit in the first guest seat on the east side. He was afraid that the younger brother would be afraid of strangers, so he arranged the younger brother next to the little girl.
He took the main seat, and next to him was Elder Xing, followed by Elder Yi. The other elders sat around the table in turn, with a total of twelve people at the table.
The table is large, with eight of Qiongdao's top ten famous dishes, only crab and fish have not yet been served.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The chef and the guests took their seats, and the chefs served dishes again, including several seafood dishes, shrimps, crabs, sea cucumbers and abalone, oysters, elephant scallops and scallops, conches, seafood
All freshly baked.
The famous seafood dishes are paired with local coconut wine.
Head Li raised his glass and gave a welcome speech. He only said a few words to welcome Miss Le to Qiongdao as a guest. He had a drink first and started the banquet.
The master drank wine, and the host and guests ate.
Leshan can take care of himself, but he is too young and can't reach the vegetables with his hands. Leyun first takes a piece of coconut rice, fills half a bowl for his brother, eats the rest by himself, and puts a few vegetables on a plate and puts it in front of him
.
I laid out a dish for my brother, picked up a crab, divided it into pieces, gave him a piece, and then left him alone and let him fend for himself.
My sister helped bring the vegetables, and Leshan ate the crab meat first, dipped the crab meat in the sauce, and ate it slowly. After eating, he peeled the shrimp and ate abalone and sea cucumber.
Little Miss Le served her brother some vegetables. Elder Ji, who was close to the baby, silently put a chicken drumstick from a plain-cut chicken on the plate in front of the little guy.
Leshan smiled sweetly: "Thank you, uncle!"
Elder Ji was beaming with joy when he received the sweet "Uncle Master". For fear that the little guy wouldn't have enough to eat, he decisively gave the other chicken leg to the little nephew, and then added the tender roasted suckling pork, mutton, and yellow beef...
, he picked up a portion of each item, and if it wasn't enough, he picked up two more large abalones, scooped out the meat from the shell, dipped it in the sauce, and put it on his plate.
Elder Ji was very busy. Little classmate Le looked at the pile of plates in front of her younger brother and silently held back her laughter. Her younger brother was only three years old!
Leshan was stunned and ate silently. He tasted every dish and then ate a chicken drumstick. He was full.
When he was full, he politely said, "Brother, master, uncles and uncles, please use it slowly." He put down his chopsticks, calmly took out his hand to wipe his mouth, and drank the coconut juice.
"Are you full after eating so little? Eat more."
All the senior officials had expressions on their faces like "You should eat cat food."
"My little disciple's appetite is about this much. He ate a little more tonight than he did at home." Mr. Yi took the initiative to explain because he was afraid that his fellow apprentices would persuade him to eat more.
"Eat so little."
"If you eat that much, will you be hungry at night?"
"How about packing the eggs and taking them home to eat when you're hungry in the middle of the night?"
"How about building a small stove in the courtyard and putting some food to keep warm?"
A group of uncles and uncles asked me questions one by one, giving advice in a variety of ways.
"You little nephews have never gotten up in the middle of the night to turn on the stove." Mr. Yi was speechless. Everyone is so active. Do you want to fatten up his little precious disciple?
Several elders laughed and stopped coming up with random ideas and hurriedly ate.
It was difficult to put the things in his brother's plate back, so Mr. Le Xiao silently ate all the food on his brother's plate and was a little bit full.
After finishing the meal, Head Li and the elders asked Miss Le to move to the garden behind to enjoy the night view.
There is a door in the northeast corner of the main hall courtyard that leads to the garden behind the main hall. The garden of Guanyin Hall is quite wide, almost as wide as the seven-entry courtyard and the east-west courtyard.
The garden is full of tropical plants, including some endangered plants, as well as Qiongdao's famous rosewood. There are two types of rosewood, one is rosewood and the other is Qiongdao sandalwood.
Both kinds of trees are planted in the garden of Guanyin Hall, and there are more than a dozen trees that are even about three hundred years old.
There are artificially dug lakes and canals in the garden, surrounded by running water, with water pavilions, pavilions, and rockeries. Because most of the garden plants are medicinal materials, and mosquito repellent grass is also planted, there are very few mosquitoes in the Guanyin Hall.
Leader Li led the way and accompanied the little girl Le for a walk in the garden with the elders and junior brothers. Then they went to a twelve-column pavilion to enjoy the scenery. Fruits were placed in the pavilion. Everyone sat down, drank juice and ate fruit.
and nuts.
Guests and hosts entertained each other as they pleased. Classmate Le Xiao chatted with the elders of Guanyin Hall and held his younger brother in his arms when he was sleepy.
Since the apprenticeship ceremony was to be held early the next morning, Head Li and others did not invite the little girl to talk endlessly, and left at ten o'clock.
