"That's an arowana, no... it's an arapaima! It's three meters long!" Zhou Xingyun walked into the courtyard a few steps when he suddenly shouted and pointed at the pool in the courtyard for everyone to see.
The pool in the courtyard is like a lake within a lake, isolated from the big lake outside. It is a small pond where the eldest daughter of the Yu family raises fish. The pond is also divided into several water areas along the rocks. In addition to arowana, there are also sturgeons.
What surprised Zhou Xingyun the most was that there was an area of artificial seawater with corals, shellfish, and marine fish...
"Have you seen it?" the girl's voice came from my ear.
"No. I just heard it from others, and this is the first time I've seen it in person." Zhou Xingyun quickly turned around and saw a beautiful woman holding a sandalwood fan and wearing a green cheongsam standing calmly behind them.
If nothing unexpected happens, the beautiful woman in front of her is the eldest lady of the Yu family introduced by Zhenjun Gu Yang.
"As expected of the Generalissimo of the Zhenbei Cavalry, he is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable." The beautiful woman got straight to the point and directly revealed Zhou Xingyun's identity.
"Ah?" Zhou Xingyun was stunned and suddenly didn't know how to respond.
"Master Hou, please don't underestimate the intelligence of the merchants. I know your origins very well. However, since Master Hou is visiting as a Jianghu person, please allow me to call you Young Master Zhou."
The beautiful woman bluntly stated the positions of both sides, which is much better than He Qinghai and others.
He Qinghai and others knew clearly that Zhou Xingyun was the King of the North, but they pretended to be confused and did not know who he was, so they refused to salute him and even deliberately offended him.
The beautiful woman has her words first. I know you are the Marquis of the North, but you are here as a Jianghu person, so I won't be too polite.
If Zhou Xingyun feels that the title Zhou Shaoxia is inappropriate, then she will pay homage to the Prince Consort with courtesy.
"Okay, okay, Miss, just call me Zhou Shaoxia. I'm going on tour incognito this time, and my identity needs to be kept secret, so etiquette is waived." Zhou Xingyun smiled like an idiot, and the beauty praised him for being well-informed, which is a good sign.
.
"My name is Yu Shi, and I am the person in charge of the Wanglou Martial Arts Arena. I have invited you here today. I have something to discuss with you. But before we get down to business... have you eaten? If not, please come with me.
.”
Yu Shi entertained Zhou Xingyun and his entourage very casually, without formal etiquette or formal rules.
I don’t know if she did her homework and knew that Zhou Xingyun was a bohemian gangster, so she entertained him casually. Or maybe she was originally a person who went her own way and didn’t like to follow the rules.
In this way, Zhou Xingyun and his party followed the beautiful woman to the pavilion in the courtyard to experience a delicious outdoor meal.
What is this? What is this. What is this!
While enjoying lunch, Zhou Xingyun's brain fell into the state of 'what is this' again.
What exactly happened? How to explain Zhou Xingyun's state?
how to say.
Zhou Xingyun was eating, but he didn't know what he was eating, or even the taste of the food, whether it was delicious or not.
No, Zhou Xingyun actually recognized several foods, such as lobster, butter crab, geoduck, bear paw...
Since Zhou Xingyun recognized these foods, why did he still say that he didn’t know what he was eating? Because he really didn’t know what he was eating!
Furthermore, whether the food tastes good or not is no longer the point.
Zhou Xingyun can even guarantee that even if the delicacies in his mouth taste like shit, he will not find it unpleasant.
When Zhou Xingyun was eating, he felt very happy and couldn't help laughing.
You asked Zhou Xingyun what happened?
What he ate for lunch was not delicious food, he ate glory and wealth. The taste was no longer important. The ingredients satisfied not the taste, but the human heart called 'vanity'.
So you ask him what he ate? Zhou Xingyun will definitely not be able to tell you anything. Just be happy and that’s it!
The martial arts immortals who have the strength to reach the 40th floor of the Dengxian Tower can receive such warm hospitality from the eldest daughter of the Yu family. No wonder they are so obsessed with the ranking of the Dengxian Tower.
It's fame and wealth, it's wealth.
However, while Zhou Xingyun, Qin Shou, Li Xiaofan, Qian Chenke and other animals were eating happily, two people frowned.
Qianchenke? Why is this guy here again? Yes, this guy is really here again.
The eldest lady of the Yu family clearly did not invite him, but he somehow managed to bypass the defense line of the old housekeeper, Zhenjun Gu Yang, and appeared at the banquet by accident, like a man who had nothing to do, following the large army.
eat and drink.
The eldest lady of the Yu family saw through it but didn't say anything. She pretended that nothing happened and told the servants to continue serving the food.
So the question is, when everyone was eating happily, which two frowned in displeasure?
The first is Wafuduo. Wafuduo likes simple meals and light dishes. The strange food in front of her makes her very unappetizing for some reason.
The second person was the eldest lady of the Xuanyuan family. Xuanyuan Fengxue put down her chopsticks directly, indicating that these dishes did not suit her taste. To describe it in two simple words, it was... unpalatable.
To be honest, the lunch that Yu Shi prepared for Zhou Xingyun and others was really delicious.
The reason why Miss Xuanyuan found it unpalatable was because of Zhou Xingyun and Jin Runer.
To be sure, when it comes to the taste, Qin Shou, Xun Xuan and others all think it is just so-so and cannot be said to be delicious.
The ingredients must be impeccable, but the key point is that the chef hired by the eldest daughter of the Yu family is of average quality, far worse than Jin Runer and Zhou Xingyun.
Miss Feng Xue is also a rich person and eats a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, so unlike a fool like Zhou Xingyun, she can feel rich after eating.
The same goes for Xunxuan, Xiao Saisai, Xu Luose and other girls. Although Xunxuan and Xu Luose are not wealthy owners, Xunxuan is the "ace" of a first-grade academy. She follows Han Qiumiao on weekdays and eats all kinds of delicacies.
Xu Luose is a beauty cultivated by the Xu family with painstaking efforts, and her character and style are naturally of high quality.
Not to mention little Sai Sai, not to mention that she is now a very rich female lord. When she was a child, she lived in the "Paradise". Little Sai Sai was also well-dressed and well-fed, and she saw all kinds of big scenes.
In the end... Zhou Xingyun was the only one in the village who was a pauper, and Wei Suyao had to pay for everything he had to eat and drink.
Really, to put it bluntly, Qin Shou, Guo Heng, and Li Xiaofan are all richer than Zhou Xingyun.
It is true that Xunxuan, Xiao Saisai and others are very polite. They will not be like Huafuduo and Xuanyuan Fengxue, who treat you to a big dinner and you still think that the dinner is not delicious. It is really a negative emotional intelligence.
"Does it taste bad?" Yu Shi asked, looking at the two people who stopped their chopsticks.
Hua Fuduo ignored Yu Shi, and Xuanyuan Fengxue replied tepidly: "I can only say it's average. Your cook is not good."
"Really. Where do you think I can find a better chef?"
"Have you ever heard of Juxian Building?" The cold and cute Miss Xuanyuan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an enigmatic smile. Only then did Zhou Xingyun remember that when the young lady was in the capital, she often went to Juxian Building to have a good time.
When it comes to food, my little mouth has a very tricky taste.
“The food at Juxianlou is really delicious, especially in the past two years. The chefs at Juxianlou have learned a lot of novel seasoning recipes from nowhere, and they have become better at cooking. I went to Beijing a while ago and spent a lot of time cooking.
We spent a lot of money to recruit a few cooks to work in the Juxian Building, but it's a pity..."
Yu Shi shrugged helplessly, probably wanting to say that although the cooks she hired from Juxian Building were decent at cooking, they didn't know the recipe for seasonings.
"The Juxian restaurant now is indeed better than before, but if you go to the Juxian restaurant, you won't be able to taste the essence of the Juxian restaurant. Because the chef of the Juxian restaurant is no longer in the Juxian restaurant, and now she is only responsible for serving the Juxian restaurant.
The chef at Xianlou provides seasonings.”
"Oh, where should I go to taste the delicacies cooked by the chef of Juxian Restaurant himself?"
"Next time you come to my house as a guest, I'll invite you to try the cooking skills of the chef at Juxianlou." Xuanyuan Fengxue said this so easily that Zhou Xingyun didn't know how to interrupt.
Miss Feng Xue either changed her direction and told the eldest daughter of the Yu family that my chef is the chef of Juxian Restaurant.
Your cooks are far inferior to our cooks.
Looking at the problem from Zhou Xingyun's perspective, Xuanyuan Fengxue seemed to be competing for wealth with the eldest lady of the Yu family, showing off that her cook was the head chef of Juxian House, as if the entire Juxian House belonged to her Xuanyuan family...
In fact, for Xuanyuan Fengxue and Yu Shi, the two eldest ladies didn't think it was a comparison, they were just chatting.
Only a poor boy like Zhou Xingyun would want to compare wealth with others to gain a little vanity, but a real lady doesn't care about this at all.
But coming back to the topic, Zhou Xingyun is now very curious. Is the chef of Juxian Building that Xuanyuan Fengxue is referring to Jin Runer? Or is he referring to him?
If Xuanyuan Fengxue refers to Jin Run'er, have you ever asked Sister Run'er about this? What should you do if she doesn't agree to it? Moreover, Jin Run'er is used to going out with Han Qiumiao and may not necessarily stay at home.
If Xuanyuan Fengxue is referring to him as the chef... Look at the way I'm devouring my food, do you have the nerve to say it again?
"Ahem! Miss Yu invited us to be our guests today. Why?"
Returning to the topic, Wei Suyao, Wei Suyao is indeed the anchor around Zhou Xingyun. Whenever everyone chats here and there, and the topic becomes endless, Wei Suyao can always wake everyone up and let them get back to the topic.
"Young lady Wei, there is no need to be formal. You can just call me Yu Shi." Yu Shi followed Wei Suyao's question and explained: "I invite you all to be my guests because I want to discuss with you the arrangements for the next ring battle."
Yu Shi invited Zhou Xingyun and others to come mainly because he encountered some problems with the schedule of the next arena battle.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Xingyun was quite curious. What kind of problems did the martial arts arena encounter? He had to trouble the top person in charge to entertain him.
"Because you performed so well in the last round of the ring, no one in Dengxianlou has signed up to challenge the ladder competition in recent days." Yu Shi simply explained that Zhou Xingyun, Wei Suyao, and Nangong Ling are not only highly skilled in martial arts,
And they are still newcomers to the martial arts arena. Now the three of them have made reservations to sign up to challenge the ladder list, so that the warriors in the Immortal Tower do not dare to easily sign up to compete in the arena.
The warriors below the 40th floor of the Immortal Tower know very well that if they sign up to participate in the ring battle, the probability of encountering Zhou Xingyun and the others is extremely high. Once they face Zhou Xingyun and the others in the ring, the result will definitely be a disastrous defeat.
Therefore, the warriors below the 40th floor of the Dengxian Tower felt that they had no chance of winning against Zhou Xingyun and the others, so they did not sign up to challenge the ladder list for the time being.
