Wangjiang Tower is named because it stands beside the Minjiang River that spans half of Lieyang City. It is famous for having a chef who masters the three-star holy soul "Yi Yin Soup".
In terms of delicious food, there are several restaurants in Lieyang City that are more famous than Wangjiang Tower, but the chefs who master Yiyin Decoction are particularly good at combining nourishing medicine with food, that is, they are good at preparing meals, so they are most popular among the monks in the city.
They are sought after.
Zhou Xiaoxian has never been here.
She never thought that Xia Yi's suggestion of taking her to have a nice meal would be so good.
If Xia Yi hadn't been so panicked by the way she had just earned money, she would have been very happy.
Choosing a private room by the window with a view of the emerald green river, Xia Yi sat down boldly and opened his mouth to shout: "Xiao Er!"
"Hey, Master, come on... Hey, it's an old man. You look familiar."
Amidst the greetings, a middle-aged man with a thick beard walked quickly to the table with a smile on his face. However, although he seemed to move quickly, Xia Yi could keenly notice that every time his right foot landed on the ground.
, will all tilt inward a little.
Cripple? Xia Yi was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at the waiter a few more times.
"Hey, old man, is there anything wrong with me?" The middle-aged man was still smiling.
"It's nothing." Xia Yi shook his head: "This is my first time here. I have just accepted a good apprentice. I will take her to have a good meal. There is no need for you to name the dishes. There are ten or eight of the signature dishes. As long as they are nutritious
All three soul effects are required."
The middle-aged man glanced at Zhou Xiaoxian, his eyes were slightly dark, and he was stunned for two seconds before he quickly woke up and said: "Only master chefs can make dishes with the effect of nourishing the three souls, and the prices of those dishes are..."
Xia Yi took out the one hundred taels of silver notes he had just earned from his arms, took out one of the 10 taels, and placed the rest on the table, "According to this number."
Zhou Xiaoxian's eyes widened in an instant, his worries forgotten, and he pressed the money on the table with both hands.
This is ninety taels of silver notes. The purchasing power of one tael is roughly the same as usual. Two taels of silver is basically enough for ordinary people to make a living for a year!
"Teacher, did you tell me the wrong thing?"
The middle-aged waiter smiled with a smile on his face: "Although we won't use so much, ten taels is not enough. According to the old man, it's about thirty taels."
Xia Yi smiled and opened Zhou Xiaoxian's hand and said to him: "You take it first?"
"No, you're welcome. After you finish your meal, just go to the counter to pay." The waiter withdrew.
So Xia Yi let go, and Zhou Xiaoxian's hand moved to the money again.
"Girl, do you want to carry the money first?"
Zhou Xiaoxian shook his head with some difficulty and said sheepishly: "Teacher, I'm not... I don't care about money. I just... this money belongs to senior brother, how can you spend it like this?"
"I earned it."
You are the one who lied!
"Hahaha, girl, it will take a while before the food is served. I will give you the first lesson during this time!" Xia Yi looked at her and suddenly smiled.
Xiaoxian looked slightly serious: "You tell me!"
"You think I lied to that young man so that you don't know how to face him in the future. Then have you ever thought about why I lied to him? It's just for money, and it's just for a meal, and I risk offending him to clear my name.
Hou's risk? Is being a teacher so unreliable in your heart?"
This is more than just money for a meal, and you pretended to be dead to scare me and my dad... Zhou Xiaoxian looked at his surroundings, but couldn't say anything.
"I lied about the scriptures, but I didn't lie to him. I did give him a chance." Xia Yi smiled and said: "For that book, if I sell it to the Lord of Pursuit himself, he can get 10,000 taels!"
Zhou Xiaoxian opened his mouth in shock.
"Look, you have this dumbfounded expression again." Xia Yi said.
"Small dog?"
"Don't worry about this."
"...Oh." Zhou Xiaoxian responded and murmured: "So that's it? There are mysteries in that book that I can't understand? But...but you can't blame me...how can I have you..."
"Yes, I have lived a long life and seen a lot, but ask yourself, if you think calmly, can you detect the clues, instead of just putting on a worried look all the time?"
"One after another unknown things and things that we don't understand make up our colorful life. The first lesson the teacher teaches you is that you don't have to understand, but you have to think about it and don't just think about it when you encounter a situation.
Will respond with surprise and concern!"
Zhou Xiaoxian was stunned and fell into deep thought.
"The dish is here!" Just at this moment, the waiter knocked on the door and brought a dish to the table, "Green soul ginger mutton, please use it with your courtesy."
Xia Yi nodded, and suddenly, there was another faint discussion coming from outside the open door of the private room, making him look slightly sideways.
The waiters in the shop usually have the ability to discern subtle things. Seeing his appearance, the middle-aged waiter immediately took the initiative and said: "The old man has a very good ear. What those few guests were talking about was an interesting thing that happened not long ago. Just half an hour ago, outside the city,
There was actually a young man who plunged into the moat.
The man did not drown, but the cold air may have entered his body and hurt his brain. After being picked up by the guards guarding the city, he actually pulled them and asked them if they had seen a barefoot white-haired old man and a very beautiful man.
The girls entered the city together."
The corners of Xia Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
"Tell me, why is the old man walking barefoot? The guard was kind-hearted and took him to see Dr. Hu. Unexpectedly, the young man's hysteria was cured when he saw Dr. Hu, and he wanted to become a disciple... Tell me about this
It's funny, isn't it funny?"
He wanted to start a secondary career.
Xia Yi was speechless: "It's ridiculous."
The middle-aged waiter looked at his words and didn't know what he said was wrong. He looked at the two of them again and secretly glanced at Xia Yi's feet. He was relieved when he found that he was wearing shoes and quickly added, "I'm telling you why?"
, withdrew.
Xia Yi shook her head and smiled. Just as she was picking up her chopsticks to take a piece of mutton, she suddenly found Zhou Xiaoxian with a tense little face, as if thinking hard.
"...Girl? What he just said should be Shi Lai. He came here. Are you not surprised at all? And not worried at all?"
Zhou Xiaoxian's expression remained unchanged: "According to my judgment, Shi Lai should want to learn swordsmanship from you, so I'm not surprised that he came after you. I am worried, but it is useless to worry. We can go look for you together after dinner.
Find him, teacher."
Xia Yi was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh: "At this time, you can show a little surprise and worry, it's okay."
Zhou Xiaoxian blinked, the stiffness on his face disappeared like ice and snow, and he said with some caution: "Can I?"
Xia Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "When you eat, don't wait until the dishes are all served. Eat one dish after another. Girl, if you are slow, you will be hungry."
Xia Yi quickly picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth, then ate a piece of Qinghun ginger with a straight face, eating mutton, mutton, mutton, ginger...
Zhou Xiaoxian was stunned for two seconds, then she picked up her chopsticks and joined the group of people eating the food. After taking a small tentative bite, she sighed, and the speed of picking up the food was not much slower than Xia Yi's.
The food that nourishes the three souls is not only delicious, but the key is that it allows the monks to enjoy a sense of comfort from the inside out, and can also slightly increase the speed of practice. It is worth it.
"Mutton is difficult to digest, so it's best to chew it thirty times in your mouth before swallowing it," Xia Yi said.
"Is this so?" Zhou Xiaoxian chewed carefully, but saw Xia Yi holding mutton with big chopsticks and devouring it, "Teacher, you are... a shameless person!"
"Your appetite can't be compared to mine. With my physique, eating raw mutton won't hurt my stomach." Xia Yi said matter-of-factly.
Zhou Xiaoxian was speechless. Seeing that there was less and less mutton on the plate, his chewing movements suddenly accelerated...
Just like a little rabbit.
Competition makes eating more fun. In just three minutes, they not only devoured the plate of green soul ginger mutton, but also half of the second dish of fish head, tofu and mushroom stew.
When the middle-aged waiter knocked on the door and entered the room with the third dish, he was frightened by the looks from both of them. He forced a smile and said: "This is the guest's third dish...a dish...
vegetable……"
Huh? Why is there a sudden reply?
Xia Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that everything in front of him was going backwards rapidly. This situation was so familiar that he was stunned at first, and then he helplessly supported his forehead with his hands and looked at the full plate of Green Soul Ginger Mutton in front of him.
.
Opposite me, Zhou Xiaoxian tentatively picked up his chopsticks. His eyes lit up immediately. He wanted to eat more, but he looked at Xia Yi hesitantly and said, "Why did you only take one bite? Is it not to your liking?"
"Hehe, eat!"
Xia Yi was speechless while moving his chopsticks. Shi Lai must have died again just now. Did he fail to become a disciple and was slaughtered? That's not the case, right? Oh, don't care about him, you should be able to survive after loading the file once, right?
"Yeah, screw it, this mutton is quite delicious. It's not bad to have another plate for free."
Three minutes later, Xia Yi squinted at the plate full of Qinghun Ginger Mutton.
"Teacher, you... don't want to eat?"
"...Eat, please eat more." Xia Yi picked up her chopsticks, took a few bites, and breathed a sigh of relief: 'It's not bad, it tastes good even the third time.'
Three minutes later...
"Fuck, what a special dish!"
"Teacher, what did you say?"
"It's okay, eat mutton, eat mutton."
Three more minutes.
Xia Yi picked up a chopstick and put the mutton into his mouth, chewed it thirty times, swallowed, and then slapped the chopsticks on the table.
Zhou Xiaoxian was startled: "Teacher?"
"Eat yours, eat more!"
Xia Yi stood up, walked to the window, looked out, and squinted his eyes after a few seconds: "What a coincidence, it's not that far from here!"
You tricked me into eating four plates of mutton, you beast!
