Cheng Yaojin was chatting with Li Zexuan in the front hall, mainly to learn about Li Zexuan's past.
At this time, a pretty servant girl came in and bowed to Cheng Yaojin. "Master, the food is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand. "Ha, then serve the food."
The servant girl accepted the order and left.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin said to Li Zexuan, "Today, thanks to nephew, I can eat chicken again. Haha. Your family's Drunken Immortal restaurant is too stingy, limiting the amount every day. I can't eat enough. "
Li Zexuan stood up and said, "This nephew didn't think it through. Since Uncle Cheng wants to eat, why don't you send a cook to my house to learn how to make this dish? This way, Uncle Cheng can eat as much as you want in the future."
Cheng Yaojin was moved, but he still pretended to be reserved. "How can this be? This method of eating chicken is your family's Drunken Immortal restaurant's business secret. How can it be spread? I, Old Cheng, will not do such an unkind thing. "
Finished speaking, he looked at Li Zexuan. His eyes were clearly saying, "Come and refute me, come and convince me."
Sure enough, Li Zexuan was very cooperative. "Uncle Cheng, what are you saying? This little bit of food can at most be exchanged for some stinky things. Since Uncle Cheng likes to eat it, there's no harm in teaching it to the Cheng Estate's kitchen maids. In addition, this nephew believes that the Cheng family's servants will not spread the method of eating chicken. "
Moreover, there was one point that Li Zexuan did not mention. Although the method of eating chicken was novel, in less than a month, there would be other restaurants that could imitate it.
Cheng Yaojin was a little surprised. Merchants valued profits. Previously, he had looked down on Li Zexuan because of his family's business. He did not expect that this child would value profits more than righteousness. What he said before was also a test for Li Zexuan.
"Good, you are an interesting child. You are not like other merchants who stink of money. Haha, come and eat. The two of you are not allowed to fight with me for the chicken for lunch. You must have eaten enough before, haha!"
Cheng Yaojin saw the servant girl bring in the dishes. He happily patted Li Zexuan's shoulder and invited him to the table to eat together.
Li Zexuan only felt a huge force on his shoulder. If it wasn't for his good martial arts, with Li Zexuan's physique in modern society, Cheng Yaojin's slap would definitely have slapped him to the floor. As for Cheng Yaojin's shameless words, he didn't care at all. He was indeed a little tired of eating chicken.
However, Cheng Chumo was not tired of eating it. On the way back, he was carrying a big box of food. Although he was a little embarrassed, he was still secretly happy. He thought that his father would not be able to finish all the chicken and that he would be able to get a share. He did not expect that before the chicken was even served, his father would mercilessly extinguish his hopes.
He did not dare to argue with his father. Old Cheng would not reason with him and would only talk with his fists. Cheng Chumo sat next to Li Zexuan and ate the rest of the dishes fiercely while looking at his father eating.
"En, delicious. Little Xuan, you don't have to be polite. Other than this, you can eat whatever you want."
Cheng Yaojin stuffed a mouthful of chicken meat into his mouth and chewed as he called out to Li Zexuan. Then, he felt that his mouth was a little dry, so he poured himself a bowl of wine and ate the chicken meat while drinking by himself. He even forgot to call out to Li Zexuan to drink.
Li Zexuan's mouth twitched. However, he was happy that Cheng Yaojin did not persuade him to drink. Otherwise, if Cheng Yaojin insisted that he drink, he really could not think of an excuse to refuse. He definitely could not use the excuse he used to fool Cheng Chumo. If he dared to say that to Old Cheng, Li Zexuan believed that Cheng Yaojin would definitely beat him to death.
… …
After the meal, everyone ate and drank to their heart's content. Of course, Cheng Chumo was an exception. This fellow did not have a good meal.
After the servant girls removed the banquet, Cheng Yaojin rubbed his swollen belly and let out a comfortable groan. He picked his teeth and said to Li Zexuan, "Little Xuan, your chicken is so delicious.
"Little Xuan, the chicken you gnawed on is really too delicious. I, Old Cheng, have lived for more than half of my life and have never eaten anything so delicious. How did you think of this thing?"
Li Zexuan looked at Cheng Yaojin, who did not care about his image, and said, "This was taught by my master. My master not only taught me martial arts, but also taught me some cooking, arithmetic, and the art of investigating things."
"Oh? That Taoist Priest Spirit Void? "Cheng Yaojin had heard Cheng Chumo talk about Li Zexuan's master before.
Li Zexuan nodded.
Cheng Yaojin said curiously, "I only heard that Taoist Priest Spirit Void has great achievements, but I have never heard that he also knows how to cook?"
Was his lie about to be exposed? Li Zexuan was a little flustered, but he still forced himself to be calm and asked, "Uncle Cheng, you know my master?"
Cheng Yaojin shook his head, a look of reminiscence on his face. "How could I know such an immortal? I only heard of your master when I was in Wagang more than ten years ago.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. The Turks wanted to take advantage of the situation in the Central Plains. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes. But at that time, the Central Plains was in chaos. There was no extra force to resist the harassment of the Turks.
Once, a small group of over two hundred Turkic wolf riders was raiding a village to the south of the Yin Mountains. An old man in a green Daoist robe came with a sword in his hand. He fought the two hundred Turkic wolf riders alone and killed them one after another. Then, he piled the heads of the Turks on the border between the grassland and the Yin Mountains. He set up a huge rock and wrote a cross on it: Those who offend the Central Plains will be killed! Spirit Void.
When this news spread, the world was shocked!
In those years, although a large number of powerful martial artists emerged from all over the world, no one dared to face a regular army of more than 50 people, not to mention more than 200 Turks with outstanding combat power. This kind of combat power was simply shocking. Taoist Priest Spirit Void became famous because of this battle!
After that battle, Taoist Priest Spirit Void floated away and no trace of him could be seen.
Later, although the Turks occasionally went south to take advantage of the situation, they did not dare to act like before. At best, they would massacre villages and cities. At most, they would rob the food of the people at the border.
Brat, you're quite lucky to have such a godly figure as your master. "
Speaking of this, Cheng Yaojin's face was full of emotions. He touched the big beard on his chin and suddenly looked at Li Zexuan. He said with interest, "Since your master is Taoist Priest Spirit Void, your martial arts must be quite good. Come and spar with me, Old Cheng."
After saying this, he began to rub his fists, eager to give it a try.
Li Zexuan was listening to Cheng Yaojin talk about his master's bravery from the side. His master had never told him about these things before. Who knew that Cheng Yaojin would then propose to spar with him?
Li Zexuan's face was full of black lines. This Cheng Yaojin was like an elder, but with his rough temper, he did not know how to control his strength. Li Zexuan was not willing to spar with him.
Li Zexuan hurriedly cupped his hands and declined. "My martial arts are low. How could I dare to spar with Uncle Cheng?"
Cheng Yaojin patted him on the shoulder and said carelessly, "You're so wishy-washy like a girl. What are you afraid of if your martial arts are not good? Just as well, Old Cheng can give you some pointers. I'll teach you a few moves, haha!"
Then, without waiting for Li Zexuan's agreement, he pulled Li Zexuan to the practice field in the backyard.
Cheng Chumo also followed quickly, worried.
