Morning of Swordsman Tower - Chapter 240
But on the downside, what he needs to worry about is even more terrifying. For example, the guy in front of him is obviously not something that a mere Xingyu Escort can resist. Maybe he can really sweep Shangshu Martial Arts.
“It’s…it’s okay, I’m sorry to bother Master Qiao, please continue to work, I need to go back to deal with some housework, this is the backup key for the gate of the inn, you don’t need to clean up after the banquet, just lock the gate and leave, it will be returned tomorrow Can.”
“That’s so embarrassing.”
“It’s okay, I can trust Master Qiao.”
How can you not believe it? Isn’t the so-called door lock just a decoration in front of such a precious thing as you?
I have to go home quickly to discuss with Ye’er, and ask her if she has “meaning about that”.
“Hey, then I will be disrespectful, and I will thank you in the future.”
“you are welcome…”
…
When Zheng Qingyue hurried out of the inn as if her **** was on fire, she happened to run into Miss Lei Zi who was on her way to the appointment. This time she didn’t wear the red burqa, but plain clothes, plus…a white silk.
Therefore, shopkeeper Zheng had no way of knowing her identity, and the two passed by each other like this.
But Lin Qingyan knew Zheng Qingyue, because she came to Shangshu to run errands for the Tai Tuo this time, and Zheng Qingyue’s actions were also in the Tai Tuo’s plan, so Lin Qingyan naturally knew his background in advance .
“Strange, why does Xingyu’s shopkeeper look as if he is fleeing in a hurry? Could it be that he is fighting with King Qiao Hai again?”
Thinking of this, Miss Lei Zi hurriedly quickened her pace, maybe she could come forward to persuade the other party.
But after she entered the inn, she didn’t find any traces of fighting, only the breath-taking aroma of food wafted from the direction of the back kitchen.
It stands to reason that a lady like her who was born in such a family and has been an imperial court official should be used to delicacies from mountains and seas, even if it is a “membership restaurant” that can only be introduced by friends, it is difficult to impress Sister Lei Zi.
But at this time, Lei Zijie was like a giraffe being led by the neck by the breeder. She couldn’t help but follow the source of the fragrance, without even looking at the path under her feet, as if the conditional launch had already been formed.
It’s the stone of thunder, I added the stone of thunder to the dish!
Until Qiao Haiwang’s voice was like a red and white ball hitting the head, interrupting the strange state of Sister Lei Zi’s fluttering.
“Miss Lin, it turns out that you have arrived, so please take a seat first, the dishes will be ready soon.”
“Ah? Ah! Oh oh…”
Lin Qingyan awkwardly sat on the seat that Qiao Haiwang pushed aside for her. Only then did she look up and realize that the dining table in front of her was not the coffee table she expected, but a small square table where the two sat facing each other. .
It was the 20-seat round table that would only be used for large banquets. Sister Lei Zi stared straight at it. Maybe Qiao Haiwang saw her doubts, so he took the initiative to explain.
“There is no way, the kitchen materials here are relatively complete, and it looks like the fresh goods purchased today, and I have made many dishes in a short time, you can taste them one by one with peace of mind.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t finish eating, someone will help you solve it. “
Lin Qingyan, who was stunned, hadn’t asked what the last sentence meant when a landscape scroll was suddenly drawn out of thin air at the door of the inn.
The headless Nian who walked swaggeringly and her “driver” Xi who looked unhappy, just walked in as if they had returned to their hometown, and they found a seat at the round table skillfully without saying a word.
Nian sat directly next to Lin Qingyan, which was obviously intentional, while Xi found a seat opposite Nian, which was obviously more intentional, so that it would be inconvenient to secretly put it in her bowl next year. Chili is off.
But this is not the most puzzling thing. After all, Lin Qingyan certainly knows Nian and Xi. It should be said that it is easier to accommodate their willful behavior because they are the agents of Sui Beast.
Because in Sister Lei Zi’s view, the two of them are not even humans, but ancient gods and monsters. It’s like no matter how jealous a woman is, it should be caused by other women, and it can’t be because a man likes Ultraman. Are you jealous of monsters?
So what is the most puzzling thing? It’s an unconscious guy.
“Oh, I seem to have gotten into some trouble tonight, but when I thought that the invincible brother Qiao was here, I just came over cheeky to ask for blessings, and I was so sorry that I didn’t bother you. Everyone?”
Although the uninvited old carp said so, in action, he dragged a chair and sat down firmly.
The only way he could express his apology was probably by choosing the seat closest to the aisle, which was the last seat in the banquet.
“…”
Lin Qingyan looked up at Qiao Haiwang, with a hint of resentment in his eyes, but Qiao Haiwang could only shrug her shoulders.
That seems to mean that I didn’t invite them in the first place. It’s just that I expected them to come. Now that they have come, can they be driven away? Let’s eat together.
Chapter 655 Old Li: I’m Possessed, So Is It Normal To Eat Two Bowls?
When Qiao Haiwang went to the back kitchen to make the final preparations for the banquet, there was only the embarrassed Lin Qingyan left on the round table, and the other three people who didn’t feel that they were the source of the embarrassment at all.
It would be fine if they all sat quietly and waited for the meal like Xi and Lao Li, but there is still a young man who takes the initiative to “find fault” and doesn’t know what it means to be ashamed.
“Oh, isn’t this the little unicorn from someone else? Why, are you finally willing to come out and find a man?”
“…What are you talking about!?”
“Is it strange? The life instinct to reproduce is not just what you have learned in the textbooks. I have witnessed countless times of reincarnation, and some of them are even very ‘intense’. Your parents… “
“You, you are enough, hey!”
Sister Lei Zi quickly reached out to cover Nian’s mouth. According to her urinating nature, she might really want to preach about the dark history of the Lin family at the dinner table, but what she said must be what she saw with her own eyes. There is absolutely no room for refutation.
But Nian is a divine beast after all, how could he be restrained by Lin Qingyan so easily?
“I see you, you don’t understand at all, little Qilin!”
The majestic voice coming from Nian’s navel suddenly startled Lin Qingyan. Although the tone of the voice was husky, like the cry of a cow put in a vat, judging from the words and sentences, there was no doubt about it. The question is Nian himself.
Looking at Nian’s appearance, you can tell that her stomach is actually a melting pot. Since martial arts masters can use martial arts to speak, and stand-in messengers can use stand-ins to speak, it is also logical (?) for blacksmiths to use stoves to speak, right?
So if it is the same as the year, will the hot dog be “forged” into an artifact?
Fortunately, the voice of Qiao Haiwang opening the banquet came from the rear at this time, otherwise Sister Lei Zi would have her **** thrown out by Nian.
In just a few minutes, the big round table was filled with delicacies. First of all, there were a few cold dishes, such as peanuts, candied preserved eggs, Dengying beef, stick chicken, white meat with garlic paste, and cold Zhe Ergen.
Next came the classic Shangshu Eight Big Bowls. Although it is a classic, there is actually no fixed recipe. It all depends on the chef’s own understanding. As a man from the Northeast, Neptune certainly wants to prepare hard dishes.
So his eight big bowls are steamed crispy pork with flour, braised pork knuckle, crispy duck with red skin, white-cut chicken, sweet roasted white, pickled pork with preserved vegetables, boiled fish slices, and steamed egg custard with crab roe.
Then add some homemade dishes from Shangshu, such as mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, spicy chicken diced, mashed potato minced meat, pickled cabbage and fish soup.
Finally, I would like to take care of Xi’s taste. If there are vegetable salads, fruit slices, ice cream snacks, etc., the whole round table will no longer be crowded.
“Although I call myself a banquet, all of you present here are friends of my King Qiao Hai. Since we are friends, we don’t need those red tapes. Therefore, I cook some home-cooked dishes. Please feel free to enjoy them!”
“Where, where, Brother Qiao’s craftsmanship is truly amazing. Just looking at such a sumptuous feast makes one’s index finger twitch. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. I will eat two more.” A bowl will do!”
Listening to Lao Li and Qiao Haiwang singing together, Lin Qingyan lowered her head and felt a little uncomfortable, because the situation in front of her was completely different from what she expected before she came.
Suddenly being invited by a man in an extremely “dominant” way, I thought I would have an experience that I had never experienced before. After all, no matter how old a woman is, at such a time, of course, she would hope that she would be the one with unique treatment.
In the end, I was just one of his dinner guests, not to say that the dinner was not good, the dishes on the table seduced her gluttons all the time, but if possible, Lin Qingyan would prefer to have only simple things in front of her. Two Desserts for…
And a total of two people including myself are enough.
Lin Qingyan was immersed in her own thoughts, and it took a long time before she suddenly realized that the atmosphere around her was suddenly a little quiet, and when she raised her head, she found that everyone was staring at her.
“…What, what’s the matter, what do you want me to do? Is there anything on me?”
“What do you think, little unicorn? Have you forgotten that you are the guest of honor? We are all just eating, so of course we have to wait for you to move the chopsticks first.”
…You also know that you are a looter!
“She’s right, I should have prepared this banquet for you, Miss Lin, so at the very least, you have to take on the leading role tonight, right?”
Although Lin Qingyan wished to be forced by the unconscious Nian, but to be honest, she was already in a much better mood than before when she could not be forced to.
In this regard, some people chose to tell Sister Lei Zi with practical actions, you are too happy.
“Oh, this wine should be just a cheap bar in the inn to entertain individual guests? It’s a pity that it can’t match Brother Qiao’s invincible cooking skills. This is probably the only fly in the ointment today.”
Lin Qingyan gave Lao Li a sharp look in his eyes, which seemed to be warning him, if he dares to spoil the scenery, I will shock you! After all, among the three light bulbs present, he was the one who was the best.
Of course, this is also because the Taifu did not tell Lin Qingyan that the current Longmen Laoli is not necessarily himself all the time.
“This was my negligence. I forgot to buy a few altars of good wine from shopkeeper Zheng before. Now that he is away, I can’t take it from the locked wine cellar without warning. You wait, I will go to the street to buy some. Come back with good wine.”
Seeing that Qiao Haiwang got up and was about to go out to buy wine, but Lao Li unexpectedly stopped him, and at the same time drank a glass of cheap wine on his own.
“Don’t bother Brother Qiao. A family member once told me that the most important thing about wine is fate. When fate comes, even cheap wine is enough to relax your mind. If fate doesn’t come, no matter how expensive the wine is, It’s also hard to get in your throat.”
For some reason, Lao Li, who had been making confusing remarks, suddenly became so elegant, but this made Nian and Xi frown slightly.
Because of this way of speaking, they feel very familiar.
“…Is that so? It does make some sense, but can you f*ck stop telling riddles? Just say you want to change the bar!”
“Hahaha, Brother Qiao is still so straightforward. If you want it, of course you want to drink it! But I guess the fate is coming soon, so let’s wait a little bit.”
Just when Qiao Haiwang was puzzled and was about to pick up the old carp and tell him how the Riddler polluted Terra’s environment, two voices that he was very familiar with suddenly sounded outside the inn door.
“My little monk seems to be a little hungry. There seems to be an inn open here. Why don’t we go in and have something to eat before we go to find Master?”
“…Senior Sister, didn’t you eat yourself up again after the last meal?”
“It’s been fully digested. The little monk’s calculation is indeed correct. Isn’t this just right to last until Shangshu?”
“Hey, well, anyway, it’s getting late now, so I’m not in a hurry to find Master today, maybe I’ll stay overnight… Eh!?”
Huaihu just stepped across the threshold of Chengyu Inn with Saga, and she was dumbfounded by the scene in front of her. There seemed to be several acquaintances at the banquet table, but why was Lao Li here?
And why would Master wear a **** apron…? !
Oh, so it’s just the upper body, tsk, it’s not impossible.
Compared with Huaihu who was shocked by some complexity, Saga’s reaction was much simpler. She first saw her master at a glance, and then rushed straight over excitedly…
“Master! Disciple finally… oops!”
Then halfway down the road, he fell on the flat ground, only the black firewood tail behind him was still spinning wildly like a lily of the valley windmill.
However, one of the several big gourds she was carrying got away and flew forward, and happened to be caught by the old carp with a hand outstretched. He took a deep breath.
“Hiss… ah! Look, didn’t this good wine come uninvited? Haha, it’s really thanks to your blessing, Brother Qiao, but I think the fate should be more than that.
I don’t think everyone here is like the person who is addicted to the thing in the glass, so I think there is still a lack of someone who can taste wine better than me…”
boom!
As soon as Lao Li said this, Xi, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly pushed away her chair and stood up, pulled out her Taitole brush… oh no, she pulled out her sword and pointed at Lao Li, obviously she recognized him. overtones.
“who are you!”
“Hehe, who else am I? Why don’t you ask her?”
“Old Carp” pointed at the gate, and saw at the end of the street outside the inn, a blue-haired woman with dragon horns of the same style and different colors on New Year’s Eve, holding a wine gourd in her arms, her upper body dangling But the footsteps were unusually steady and walked towards this side.
Chapter 656 Order: Incomprehensible, but delicious
For those who are familiar with the unique appearance of Sui Beast’s agent, this big fat dragon with blue fur walking towards him…ah no, it’s a blue woman, obviously one of Nian and Xi’s sisters.
Contact me again last year and said that the eldest sister of her family is in Shangshu, but I don’t know which pavilion in the mountain drinks by herself, and falls asleep after drinking. As long as she finishes drinking, she will naturally find out. body.
Although today’s Dayan is more tolerant of foreign cultures because of Longmen, there are still very few women who can run around the street with big flower tattoos on their arms, so that they even need to wrap their arms in order not to reveal their identities.
So the person in front of him was obviously Ling Ling who went down the mountain to look for food.
In fact, Ling is not fat at all, but compared with Yao Meixi, a literary girl with a thin body at first glance, and the monkey year, who is a strong and energetic type, Ling sister looks so mature and “plump” in terms of figure and temperament.
The so-called “plumpness” is of course not the kind of fat in the superficial sense, but refers to that when a peach is ripe, its originally crisp flesh has become extra soft, and you can even feel the tenderness inside when you pinch it. The rich juice makes it hard to bear the urge to bite it down.
In a nutshell it is…
Hiss~~~ha! Strong and powerful, strong and powerful!
But now is not the time to taste powerful stars. The most problematic thing should be this old carp who behaves abnormally and can accurately predict the timing of ordering to go down the mountain.
Even if Lao Li’s sideline job is to read Fengshui fortune-telling for others, according to Qiao Ge’s understanding of Lao Li, even if he is accurate, he will never be so showy.
Because showing off means taking the initiative to ask yourself to take on more things, so Lao Li usually hides as much as possible, and never gives up touching his own tail until he has to be serious.
And judging from Xi’s reaction, the person in front of him is most likely not Lao Li, but Qiao Haiwang, who has the triple bonus of knowledge + doctor + martial artist, can still tell that this is indeed Lao Li’s body, not an illusion dressed up by others .
So to sum up, the old carp must be possessed by some kind of spiritual body, the instigator is undoubtedly Sui Er Er, but it may be worse than that, because he may directly kill the host, and then occupy the body .
After all, the old carp is not Tallulah. Tallulah has the ability to lead the integration movement and can be used to threaten Wei Yanwu. The black snake Kosiche did not completely occupy his spirit.
But no matter what the current situation of the old carp is, since the dove occupying the magpie’s nest can bump into Jogo’s head by himself, it is considered a blessing.
Just like what he told his master years ago, guess how Kosche burps?
So just when “Old Carp” wanted to put on a calm face, but still couldn’t hide the triumphant expression that shocked the audience just now, he suddenly felt his neck tighten, as if being caught by an old lynx…cough, just It was like being clamped tightly by a pair of steel pliers.
Immediately afterwards, he saw his perspective quickly climb and turn, and a terrifying face covered by shadows suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
“You bastard…what did you do to Lao Li!”
Sui Laoer was obviously not aware of his situation, but interpreted Qiao Haiwang’s behavior as impotent rage after being cornered, thinking that the situation was already under control.
Because Sui Er Er’s “Heizi” avatar is hidden in the wine cup carried by Lao Li, he has already discovered through secret observation and analysis along the way that Qiao Haiwang, the outsider who inexplicably broke into the chessboard, may be the one who cracked the chessboard. The key to Tai Fu’s chess moves.
