The head of the Jiang family, the head of the Ji family, and others knew a thing or two about the ancient sect. From the title of the head of the Xuan family, "Thousands of Sect Masters," they knew that the immortal old Taoist was the helmsman of the Lotus Authentic Sect. The heads of the family were once again frightened. Penglai Island
The master has returned to the world of mortals, and the authentic master of the Lotus Sect has left the mountain. Is there any reason they don’t know?
Because they were afraid of surprising the master of the Chao family, everyone did not go to Penglai Xiandao and the Lotus Sect to pay tribute. They all expressed their respect for their seniors by standing up.
Another wave of guests came outside, including Tang Yansong, the young master of the Tang Sect, and an elder from the Tang Sect; as well as envoys from the Emei Sect, Qingcheng Sect, and Wudang Sect. The Emei Sect envoy was an old nun who was about fifty years old;

Then the envoy from Baiyun Temple arrived. Baiyun Temple is one of the orthodox schools of Confucianism and Taoism. The envoy is a handsome young man with outstanding grace. Although he is not as beautiful as the young master of the Xuan family, he is as elegant as the spring breeze and white clouds.

Great Chinese martial arts has a long history, there are many boxing techniques, and there are many families that inherit martial arts and boxing skills. If each ancient martial arts family sends an envoy to Beijing, they will have to occupy at least four tables. Fortunately, the ancient martial arts techniques are spread all over the world.
Only a few of the successor families sent envoys to Beijing to punish the successor.
Later, Zhongli Yunling, the old head of the Zhongli family of the Guxiu Guwu family, arrived with his son Zhongli Jing. Zhongli Jing is the contemporary head of the Zhongli family and the elder brother of the old man Zhongli Yu;
There are also Lu Chengshan, the young leader of the Lu family who is a casual cultivator, Feng Zhengqing, the current head of the Fufeng family, and his young grandson Fengyi; Hao Yu, the elder of the Zhenghua sect; and two envoys from the Lihua sect;

The last ones to arrive were the Tantai family and the Yu family. The head of the Tantai family brought his two grandchildren, and the head of the Yu family, Yu Wangjiang, brought his next young master Yu Jun and a personal guard.
In this way, all the ancient cultivators and ancient martial arts families who had informed Xuanjia that they were going to the capital also came to the scene, and several people from Hua Shao came into the hall to help.
There were only a few representatives from one or two companies, but most of them were more than two people. There were more than forty waves of people, more than 120 people. In addition to Mr. Jiang who volunteered to help, there were also young men and Xuanjia.
He even dispatched ten young people as handymen, bringing the total number of Jianghu sect members to more than 160.
The original plan was to have twenty-two tables, and the Chao family prepared two more tables of meals, so even if there were more than a hundred people, they would not be afraid of having nowhere to sit.
Each family and sect is here to send congratulations, not to reminisce about the past, so the guests follow the host's will and sit as they please on a first-come, first-served basis until the table is full. People who have not known each other before sit at the same table, and they are rarely allowed to chat in low voices.
,acquaintance.
Mrs. Chao and Mr. Chao were accompanying the Penglai Immortal Lord at the table. Of course, the thing they talked about the most with the guests was the little pink dumplings at home. They said they loved the kitchen and they would always pour some food when they returned to Chao's house.
Each family sent handsome guests, and Xuan Shao, who was responsible for receiving name cards and congratulatory gifts, was so happy that they could hardly close their mouths. There were piles of gifts from the guests. I think the little beauty would be happy to see them when they came back.
Of course, the Chao family did not treat the guests who came with gifts unfairly. The tea served was herbal tea prepared by the most precious girl of the Chao family. It was originally meant for the elders of the Chao family to drink, and the men of the Chao family used it to entertain the guests.
The herbal tea has a refreshing and mellow aroma. It is light at first and then sweet in the mouth, with endless aftertaste. More importantly, about a quarter of an hour after drinking the tea, it seems that the lead dust has been washed away, and you feel refreshed and your mind is bright.
The young men in charge of tea perform their duties. Whenever a guest sits at a table, they will first serve a cup of fragrant tea, then a pot of tea, fruits and dried fruits and melon seeds, which the guests can drink by themselves.
The guests came one after another, and it took a total of an hour from the first to the last one, which was almost eleven o'clock. The Xiuwu Xiugu family sect usually eats between half past eleven and one o'clock.
Lunch will not be eaten after noon, and the Chao family also prepares it in advance, and the meal time is scheduled to be after 11:30.
After sorting out the gifts, Mr. Xuan went to the kitchen first. Seeing that everything was ready, he happily returned to the hall and ordered the young man to remove the fruit plate and dried fruit plate first.
A group of young people acted as waiters in an orderly manner, taking away the dried fruit plates, placing them all on the table in the other corner of the hall, covering them with gauze covers, and then serving wine, bottled rice wine, chopsticks and bowls to the guests.
Because they tasted the good tea, everyone was looking forward to the host's lunch, secretly wondering if there would be a legendary medicinal meal.
After the drinks were served, the young people followed Mr.
.
The young people carried the rice to the living room and placed it in a row in the tea place. They all had rice steamed in wooden barrels.
Butler Hu and the chefs handed the meals to the young people, who carried a portion of the food and went out through the side door to the second floor to eat and rest.
Three middle-aged couples from the Chao family, with their two children and young people, carried the rice back to the hall. Chao Shengguo greeted the guests with clasped fists: "Dignified guests come from all over the world to make this humble house shine. The Chao family only prepares simple meals. It would be rude to do so."
I would also like to ask you to order a large amount of it and treat your distinguished guests to a meal."
The three ladies and girls were blessed, and the men all bowed to express their apology.
"Where, where."
"Master, you're welcome."
Everyone hurriedly responded and waited for the host to take his seat.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The head of the Xuan family took his seat before the banquet started. The Chao family brothers took their wives and children to sit at the table where their parents sat. The only guests at that table were Penglai Immortal Master and Qian Sect Master.
, the other guests knew they were not qualified enough and were too embarrassed to take a seat.
Mr. Xuan and the young masters sat at the same table, the beautiful boy and Miss Chao Er also sat at the same table with the young masters, and the young men working as handymen in various households also sat at the table one by one.
Three couples from the Chao family came to the table. Mr. Chao and his wife stood up, raised their glasses and looked around: "The young man and his wife have little knowledge, and they are not good at entertaining guests. I and my wife will do it first as a courtesy. Please feel free to do so."
"
The young and old of the Chao family drank the red wine in one gulp, made a gesture of inviting them to a meal, and stopped talking.
The host opened the banquet with wine, and everyone raised their glasses and took a sip with them, then no longer hesitated or held up their chopsticks to eat.
The Chao family's lunch consists of six dishes and one soup, six dishes, three meat dishes and three vegetarian dishes. No matter how you sit, there will be vegetarian and meat dishes at every table, and there will be no embarrassing scene of not being able to eat chopsticks.
What interested everyone the most was the "gossip" revealed by the young people in advance about the two medicinal meals made by the little girl using a special formula: braised pork and preserved eggs with preserved pineapple.
The preserved eggs are golden in color and very beautiful, and the chef is very good at cutting the eggs into pieces and stacking them into towers. The preserved eggs made by the little girl are also true to their name. Not only do they have a pattern like pine bark on the surface, but they also have a smooth texture.
Exudes an elegant pine scent.
Chicken is a meat dish, and eggs can actually be said to be vegetarian. Therefore, the vegetarian monks did not have any taboos. They all tasted it with great anticipation. After tasting a piece, they happily ate it again. The medicinal diet not only lived up to their expectations, but even
It's better than expected.
After eating the medicated meal, everyone secretly sighed, it turned out that we had come to the right place!
After the banquet started, Mr. Jiang changed his habit of not eating meat, secretly rubbed the braised pork, and took two bites. Yes, it was braised pork made with the little beauty's special recipe. The taste is nostalgic.
Young Master Xuan and Young Master Jiang could not help but be jealous of the Chao family after they tasted the preserved eggs. The young and old of the Chao family are so happy. The little beauty always makes medicinal meals for them. Can they ask how many preserved eggs the Chao family has and whether they can let them have it?
Did they wring some away?
Penglai Immortal Master and Lianhua Zhengsong are ancient sects that do not avoid meat and vegetables. The two sect leader figures are full of immortality and seem to be otherworldly. However, they are very interested in lunch and cook every dish.
I have tasted them all, and I like the preserved egg the best.
The head of the Xuan family, the head of the Jiang family, and others did not pretend to be polite and ate happily.
Since there were two medicinal dishes, and the other dishes were cooked in an improved way after the chef consulted the little girl, the taste was not bad, and the guests enjoyed the meal happily.
The young men who helped with the chores were the first to finish their meal. They were full and full of energy. When the guests finished the meal, they took away the plates and bowls. Because the portions of the dishes were suitable, and the practitioners also pay attention to frugality and simplicity, they ate only the dishes.
A small amount indicates that the portion is enough. If all the dishes are empty, the host will think that the preparation is not enough, and he will feel rude and embarrassed.
After the meal, there was another herbal tea to strengthen the stomach and digestion. The guests felt that this was a rare opportunity, so they drank a few more cups of tea before taking their leave. The monks, who had been sitting for half an hour and had been bothering the host for half an hour, bid farewell to the host in unison.
Mr. Chao did not stay in vain and saw the distinguished guests out of the courtyard.
None of the monks' vehicles left. They were all parked on the roadside in the villa area without disturbing others. They formed a convoy and filed to the gate of Chao Erye's villa, picking up people from their own families or sects one by one.
Several members of the Guwu family came here by renting a car, and the car owner and driver also followed the other vehicles according to the renter's wishes, and then picked up the renter.
A group of monks quietly went to Chao's house to give the little girl a gift of hairpins. They took advantage of the excitement and returned in a clean and elegant manner. They really waved their sleeves and did not take away a single cloud.
Seeing the vehicles that were seeing the distinguished guests no longer visible, Mrs. Chao relaxed her tense nerves and wiped her forehead: "I feel that this half day is more tiring than my whole day of lectures."
Mr. Xuan and others also returned with their families. There were no guests around. Chao Sheng'an also wiped away his sweat: "Mom, you and Dad quickly go upstairs to have a rest. Leave the rest to me."
"Yes." Mr. and Mrs. Chao nodded and went upstairs. They had been worried for a long time and were very tired. They really needed to rest.
