"You troublemakers, have you never eaten in your eight lifetimes? Hurry up and go home. Do you think your family will let you starve? "The Yang family's sister scolded jokingly.
"That's right! I've never eaten such delicious food in my eight lifetimes. Boss, just let us have a taste. Otherwise, we won't leave! "
The person who spoke directly sat at the entrance of the courtyard, looking like he wouldn't give up until he got a bite of food.
The group of people outside the house were shameless. Inside the house, Yang Zhenling looked at Gu Zheng gloomily. "Fellow Cultivator Gu, I'm really sorry. The food you cooked is really too fragrant. They're not usually like this."
"It's fine. They just want to have a taste anyway. Just give them a bowl of fish soup!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Yang Zhenling smiled. He had been waiting for Gu Zheng to say this for a long time! Although he was the master of this house, the food was still made by Gu Zheng.
"You guys are really giving me a headache! Here's a bowl of fresh fish soup. It's enough for each of you to have a mouthful. After drinking it, hurry up and get lost. Otherwise, I'll really get angry! "Yang Zhenling scolded jokingly.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Thank you, Brother Zhenling!"
"Don't worry, we'll definitely leave after drinking it!"
As if afraid that Yang Zhenling would go back on his word, the others hurriedly took the bowl in Yang Zhenling's hand. With just a deep sniff, that person's face was already filled with intoxication.
"Fragrant, so fragrant! I've never smelled such fragrant food. It's the best in the world! "
That person's expression was exaggerated as he sighed with emotion. Only then did he take a small sip.
After drinking it in one gulp, that person suddenly froze on the spot. The expression on his face was like pain, but also like extreme joy. He couldn't even speak.
"How is it? How is it? "
After not getting an answer for a long time, the second person hurriedly snatched the bowl of fish soup. Before he could smell it carefully, he first took a small sip. His reaction was no different from the first person's.
Two people in a row had the same reaction. This made the people behind even more anxious and immediately snatched the fish soup.
Soon, the bowl of fish soup was rotated around, and all of them were stunned.
"Fragrant but not greasy, fresh but not fishy. This thing should only exist in the heavens. How many times can one taste it in the human world?"
It was unknown who said it in a genteel manner, but the others all nodded in agreement.
"I've been eating fish my whole life, but I didn't know that a bowl of fish soup could be so delicious!"
"Esteemed guest, you clearly picked a green-striped codfish, but the taste of this fish soup is incomparable to that of a green-striped codfish."
"It's too delicious, so much so that I can't bear to drink a second mouthful. If we finish it, I'm afraid that we can only dream of drinking this fish soup again."
"Alright, if you can't bear to drink a second mouthful, then let us drink it for you!"
"Yes, I only want reality, not dreams!"
"In your dreams!"
"You cheater! Stop it right now!"
"You bastard, how can you do this? Stop right there!"
One of them ran away with the remaining fish soup in his hands. The people behind him immediately chased after him. It was unknown if there was any fish soup left when they caught up. Anyway, it was quiet outside the courtyard.
"These guys!"
Sister Yang shook her head and smiled. If she didn't have her previous experience in the kitchen, she wouldn't have believed it if someone told her that a bowl of fish soup could make a group of fishermen behave like this.
She turned around and entered the house. Only then did she realize that the Eight Treasures Rice that was originally covered had been divided equally. There was also a bowl of dried fish stewed with lotus root for each person. In front of each person was another bowl of soup with a large piece of fish meat and some fish soup. However, only her bowl with a large piece of fish meat didn't have any fish soup at all!
"Where's my fish soup?"
Sister Yang was anxious. Gu Zheng made fresh fish soup, so the fish soup was naturally more important. If there was only fish meat, this dish should be called fresh fish soup.
"It's outside!" Yang Zhenling replied without raising her head.
"Outside, outside? You're saying that the fish soup they're drinking belongs to me? "
The Yang Family's younger sister pointed outside in fright and stuttered.
"Yes!"
Yang Zhenling nodded as a matter of course and tasted the fish meat in her bowl.
"Ahhh! Stinky brother, I'll fight it out with you. How dare you use my fish soup to pretend to be a good person. No, I want to drink your fish soup! "
Sister Yang was so agitated that she waved her hands wildly, but Yang Zhenling easily stopped her with one arm.
Yang Zhenling pressed one hand on her head and stretched out his arm. No matter how she punched or kicked, she couldn't reach him.
"Wuwu, you're a bully!"
The Yang Family's younger sister pursed her lips and was about to cry.
"Why would I bully you?" Yang Zhenling smiled innocently.
"Haven't you bullied me enough?" Sister Yang said with grievance.
"Are you sure you want to drink my bowl? But I've already drunk half of my bowl! What should I do? "
Yang Zhenling said while shaking his head regretfully.
"I don't dislike you. I really don't dislike you at all. I beg you, just give me half a bowl to drink! Good brother! "
Sister Yang thought of those fishermen outside who felt like they were on cloud nine after drinking a mouthful of fish soup. Her heart itched like a cat scratching at it.
"Then I'll give you half a bowl!"
Yang Zhenling generously gave half a bowl of fish soup to the Yang Family's younger sister. Then, under the grateful gaze of the Yang Family's younger sister, she magically took out another bowl of fish soup from the cupboard at the side.
"As expected, you're bullying me again!"
Sister Yang sniffled, her face full of grievance.
"Haha! I'm just teasing you. Why would I let you drink half a bowl of fish soup? This is yours! "
Yang Zhenling laughed and handed the bowl full of fish soup to Sister Yang.
"Hmph, I knew it. You're always teasing me, stinky brother!"
The Yang Family girl made a funny face at Yang Zhenling, then happily received the bowl of fish soup.
Although the scene was a little noisy, Gu Zheng, who was sipping his soup, watched with interest. As for Meow Meow, she was so engrossed in her food that she had almost finished a large piece of fish.
"It's so delicious!"
Sister Yang drank a mouthful of fish soup and the grievance on her face disappeared without a trace.
"It's fragrant but not greasy, fresh but not fishy. This thing should only exist in heaven. How many times can one taste it in the human world? They weren't exaggerating at all!"
Sister Yang sighed and drank another mouthful of fish soup. She looked at Gu Zheng with eyes full of stars. She didn't hide her admiration at all.
"Sect Leader Gu can actually make Boiled Fish taste like this. My horizons have been broadened today!" Sister Yang said.
"It's nothing. My master knows a lot of things!"
Meow Meow looked at Sister Yang proudly, as if someone was praising her.
"Hurry up and eat. It'll get cold if you don't eat!"
After Gu Zheng's reminder, Sister Yang seemed to have remembered that she still had two types of food and fish to try. She quickly picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of lotus root.
"The fish soup is already so delicious. My brother praised the Eight Treasures Rice and Dried Fish Soup with Lotus Root to the heavens. The taste must be superb!"
"Delicious!"
After a mouthful of lotus root, Sister Yang's eyes widened again.
"After being stewed like this, the lotus root's intrinsic fragrance is still there. It's delicious, really delicious!"
Sister Yang was full of praises. After eating a few more dried fish, she quickly picked up the Eight Treasures Rice in front of her.
The white rice was fragrant, and there were a few candied fruits of different colors in the middle. It looked very appetizing.
After just one bite, Sister Yang was stunned again. "When Sect Leader Gu steamed the Eight Treasures Rice, I thought that this rice with a unique fragrance would be especially delicious. But I didn't expect it to be delicious to this extent! Such an intoxicating fragrance. Is this really rice? I really suspect that I might have eaten fake rice in the past! "
"How is it? Brother didn't lie to you, right? "Yang Zhenling laughed.
"No! I now believe that Fellow Daoist Gu is the best cook in the world! "
Sister Yang put down her bowl and chopsticks and gave Gu Zheng a thumbs up with both hands. Then, she quickly picked up the bowl and ate like a whirlwind. Because she found that there was only fish left. If she continued to talk, there would definitely be no leftover fish for her! After all, Meow Meow had finished the original fish and she was happily eating the second piece of fish!
The Yang siblings were full of emotions and were very satisfied with the meal.
After the meal, Gu Zheng didn't stay in the Yang family for long. He picked some dried fish and gave the Yang siblings some medicinal pills as gifts.
The medicinal pills were suitable for the Yang siblings at their current cultivation level. To Gu Zheng, giving medicinal pills of this grade was nothing at all! But to the Yang siblings, this was already a generous gift.
As for the higher grade medicinal pills, Gu Zheng didn't give them to the Yang siblings for the time being because he knew that even if he gave them to them, Yang Zhenling wouldn't accept them. It was better to give them to him as a gift when they left Foggy Wind Island!
Before leaving the Yang family, Yang Zhenling made an appointment with Gu Zheng. He would look for Gu Zheng tomorrow morning and take him around Foggy Wind Island.
On the way back, Meow Meow was bouncing under the bright moonlight.
"Mister, I rarely see you as happy as you are today!" Meow Meow said.
"Yes! I came out with the intention of having fun, and I even had a meal with the Yang siblings. Although it was noisy, it was also a different kind of feeling! "
Gu Zheng paused and reached out to Meow Meow who was looking up at him.
"Ouch, I can't breathe, mister!"
Meow Meow's beautiful nose was pinched and she made an exaggerated sound.
"Aren't you very happy today?"
Gu Zheng smiled and let go of Meow Meow's nose.
"Yes! Of course I'm happy to be brought out by mister to have fun! "
Meow Meow made a face at Gu Zheng and bounced in front of him again.
The next day.
At the first glimmer of dawn, Gu Zheng, who had just finished his cultivation, stood in front of the window and stretched, overlooking the morning scenery of Foggy Wind Island.
"Alright!"
Gu Zheng smiled helplessly. He found that Yang Zhenling had arrived at some point and was sitting cross-legged on a big rock under the tree house, cultivating.
"Meow Meow, wake up!"
Gu Zheng came to Meow Meow's bed and nudged the curled up Meow Meow like a sleeping cat.
"Mister, it's still early, isn't it?"
Meow Meow didn't even open her eyes. She hugged Gu Zheng's hand and rubbed her body against Gu Zheng's.
"Lazy cat, wake up!"
The weapon spirit's voice was heard. Meow Meow, who was still in a daze, immediately jumped out of bed.
"Big sister, I'm not sleeping. I'm just cultivating."
Meow Meow lowered her head and mumbled softly as if she had done something wrong.
"The tour guide is already here. Pack up and go play with Master!"
Although the spirit automaton's voice was cold, compared to when they were in the sect, she rarely spoke to Meow Meow. After all, Gu Zheng had said that Meow Meow would follow him everywhere he went, and that if anything happened, he would teach it.
"Okay."
Meow Meow answered, stuck out her tongue at Gu Zheng, and immediately packed up.
Compared to the weapon spirit's coldness, Gu Zheng's attitude was very gentle even when he was lecturing Meow Meow. This also made Meow Meow more relaxed around Gu Zheng.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, you're here so early!"
Walking down the treehouse, before Gu Zheng could say anything, Meow Meow huffed angrily. If Yang Zhenling hadn't come so early, she wouldn't have been lectured by the weapon spirit.
"You're my honored guests. Since I'm taking you out to play today, I naturally have to wait for you."
Yang Zhenling smiled, not noticing the displeasure on Meow Meow's face.
Gu Zheng pinched Meow Meow's little nose and gave her a look of displeasure, then smiled at Yang Zhenling.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, where are we going today?"
"Fellow Daoist Gu, do you still remember the Misty Wind Apricots used to make candied fruits? Do you still remember the Cloud Mist Tea you tasted in the Kunlun Sect? Now that the Misty Wind Apricots are ripe, the Cloud Mist Tea has begun to be harvested. Today, I'll take you and Miss Meow Meow to taste the Misty Wind Apricots and Cloud Mist Tea! "
Yang Zhenling paused and pointed to a small mountain in the distance. "There are many places on Misty Wind Island that have Misty Wind Apricots and Cloud Mist Tea, but the best place to produce these two specialties is in that mountain. That's our destination today!"
"Okay, then let's go into the mountain and taste the Misty Wind Apricots and Cloud Mist Tea!"
Gu Zheng had never tasted the Misty Wind Apricots before, and Gu Zheng had never tasted the new Cloud Mist Tea. Gu Zheng was very excited about this trip.
However, they didn't walk far before Gu Zheng saw the Yang Family's younger sister standing by the side of the path with a smile on her face.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, your sister is in front!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Why is she in front at this time?"
Yang Zhenling frowned and said helplessly, "I know, that brat!"
Looking at her younger sister's smile, Yang Zhenling gritted her teeth and said, "Why are you here? Are you very free in the kitchen? "
"I'm not the only one in the kitchen. It's fine if I rest for a day!"
The Yang Family's younger sister hugged Yang Zhenling's arm and smiled flatteringly.
"I'm following orders to accompany Sect Master Gu. Why are you following me? Nonsense, let's go back! "Yang Zhenling said with a straight face.
"Big Brother, I'm already here and have applied for leave. You want me to go back alone? Or do you want me to go back home and sleep?"
The Yang Family's younger sister's "Big Brother" was full of twists and turns. The seriousness on Yang Zhenling's face disappeared and she looked at Gu Zheng awkwardly.
"Since you're here, then let's go!"
Gu Zheng smiled. It was a trip anyway, and the more the merrier.
"Oh yeah, Sect Master Gu, you're the best!"
The Yang Family's younger sister stuck her tongue out at Yang Zhenling and made a victory sign. Yang Zhenling shook her head.
The group continued forward. The jovial Yang Family's younger sister had replaced Yang Zhenling as the tour guide. Along the way, she would tell Gu Zheng and Miaomiao stories about the scenery. With her in the group, the atmosphere was much livelier.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, there was a fruity fragrance in the air. There was a Misty Wind Apricot Forest at the foot of the mountain. It was the season for fruits to ripen, and the Misty Wind Apricots were hanging from the branches, looking particularly lovely.
"Sect Master Gu, Miss Miaomiao, pick some and try them. Although the Misty Wind Apricots here are delicious, they can't compare to the ones in the mountains. Let's eat as we walk!"
Yang Zhenling went to greet the people in the Apricot Forest, while the Yang Family's younger sister greeted Gu Zheng and Miaomiao, telling them how to pick the tastier Misty Wind Apricots.
"Misty Wind Apricots of inferior quality are already rare fruits in the outside world, but if they're collected as resources, their quality is still a bit lacking. It seems that I'll have to go to the place Fellow Daoist Yang mentioned," Gu Zheng thought.
After tasting the Misty Wind Apricots, Gu Zheng and the others passed through the Apricot Forest and began to climb up the mountain.
There was a terraced tea garden on the mountain, and the lush green tea trees seemed to be connected together. There was a fresh smell unique to tea leaves in the air. There were also some young girls dressed in Misty Wind Island's clothes in the garden, busy picking tea leaves with their fingers.
The Heaven's Will Faction on Misty Wind Island was like an ancient imperial court. All the resources on the island could be said to belong to the Heaven's Will Faction.
The person in charge of the tea garden saw Yang Zhenling and the others and immediately went to welcome them with a smile.
