She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 102: The situation of old friends, good and bad fortune come from no door, only people bring them upon themselves (8k)
If you think about it, Xie Lian has been walking for a long time.
This period of time is enough to change a lot of things.
The remote little town of Xiaoning County was once again in a frenzy.
the reason is simple.
The pride of Xiaoning County, the greatest intellectual throughout history, and the top scholar, Zhuang Mochen, was re-employed by the emperor after resigning from office and returning to his hometown. He quickly rose to prominence and was awarded seven or eight honorary titles such as Grand Secretary.
It is said that after arriving in Fengdu, the emperor will set up a government office with great power and give it to Zhuang Mochen to manage.
The emperor's own son, the current sixth prince, will also enter this yamen as his deputy.
This news has spread like wildfire and is everywhere.
Fengdu was in chaos, with countless dignitaries trying to figure out His Majesty's true intentions.
They had studied Zhuang Mochen's background and all his experiences thoroughly.
"This man was a loyal and righteous minister in the past. He did a lot of good things in the local area. After returning to the capital, he was dissatisfied with what Your Majesty did, so he resigned and returned home."
"What loyal minister? In my opinion, he is just selling his integrity to gain fame. Look at him now, His Majesty even has to go and invite him personally. It seems that he is about to surpass us!"
"That's true. Your Majesty is really out of his mind. How could he appoint such an ordinary person? In terms of family background, I come from a family of poets and scholars. In terms of achievements, I am a third place winner, while he is just an ordinary Jinshi. How could Your Majesty think so highly of him?"
"It is said to be related to immortals."
"Immortal, immortal, another immortal! Previously, Quan Shaoze became a minister because of the immortal, and now there is Zhuang Mochen. How come there are so many lucky villains in this world?"
"Master Chen, please be quiet. I heard that Zhuang Mochen is not a simple person. He is different from Quan Shaoze. He really is friends with an immortal, and their relationship is very good. Many people can testify to this."
"Is this true?"
"If not, why do you think His Majesty would go to a remote place like Xiaoning County? To humble himself and invite talents? What a joke, His Majesty is such a person?"
"If this is true, then it will be troublesome. There is an immortal standing behind Zhuang Mochen. If there is a rift between him and us in the future, I don't know how to deal with it?"
"It may not be that there will be any grudges against us. Didn't His Majesty say that he wanted to set up a separate government office and let Zhuang Mochen lead it alone?"
"Speaking of this, I don't understand what kind of government office would allow the Sixth Prince to join in? If it's not important, there's no need for the prince to go. If it's important, why don't the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince go?"
"Your Majesty's thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to guess."
Zhuang Mochen's name had spread out, and at least the dignitaries in Fengdu were talking about him.
Although he is still in Xiaoning County, he has already become a prominent figure in Fengdu.
Some people are envious, some are jealous, some are emotional, and some are eager to curry favor with others as soon as possible.
Storm is coming.
But Zhuang Mochen, who was at the center of the storm, seemed to be fine. He had breakfast at "Luo Ji" as usual, and then drank tea leisurely for a while.
A moment later, blessing came.
"Master, everything is ready, we can set off."
Zhuang Mochen slowly put down the teacup, took a last lingering look at his own yard, sighed softly, and followed Youfu to the front yard.
Sure enough, everything was packed.
Just like when he went home, he traveled light, with only a horse-drawn carriage.
Now they were heading to Fengdu, and one horse-drawn carriage was enough to hold all their belongings.
But after all, things are different now. Emperor Qian left behind more than a dozen martial arts masters to protect his safety.
Now they are guarding around the carriage.
"Where's Yan'er?"
Zhuang Mochen asked.
"The young master is with Madam Xie."
Youfu said.
Zhuang Mochen nodded, probably guessed something, and walked out the door.
Outside the bank, many villagers were standing.
Holding flowers and some local specialties.
When they saw Zhuang Mochen coming out, they immediately surrounded him, speaking endlessly of nice words of blessing.
Zhuang Mochen finally dealt with them, walked through the crowd, and entered Xie's house in an awkward manner. The noise in his ears finally stopped.
When the villagers saw this, they were all moved.
"Mr. Zhuang is a good man and a good official. He should have made great achievements. It's a pity that he has no place to use his talents."
"His fate changed when he met Lady Xie."
"Yes, I heard that the reason why Mr. Zhuang agreed to return to Fengdu this time was because the emperor came to our Xiaoning County in person to invite him."
"I also heard that the emperor stayed at Zhuang's house for two days before convincing Mr. Zhuang to come to the court. This is truly a good story in our dynasty, worthy of being passed down through the ages."
The villagers' faces were filled with joy and their eyes were filled with pride.
Xiaoning County had no presence in the past, but now it has become the focus.
Not only is there Empress Xie, but also Mr. Zhuang.
Even if you leave your hometown in the future, you will feel proud when you talk about it with outsiders.
Think about it, when someone asks you, "Brother, where is your hometown?"
There is no need to scratch your head to introduce what state or prefecture Xiaoning County is in. Just say: "It is Xiaoning County, the hometown of Mr. Zhuang Mo Chenzhuang."
That's enough to deal with.
Just thinking about it makes me feel encouraged.
Zhuang Mochen, who was running for his life, finally entered Xie's house and was completely cut off from the noise outside.
He calmed himself down and saw Zhuang Yan and the little white fox talking under the old locust tree.
Both of them were very reluctant to leave. Although they didn't cry to the point of it, they were almost there, but they were just holding on.
This is how it is between brothers. Even if they are reluctant to part, they will not be willing to cry first because the other party will definitely laugh at them.
Zhuang Mochen was an experienced person after all, and he could understand the friendship between the young people. He stepped forward and said with a smile.
"You two, have you made an agreement?"
Zhuang Yan said angrily.
"We didn't agree on that. I asked him to come with me, but he refused to listen and insisted on staying here."
The little white fox snorted coldly and spoke with confidence.
"This is my home. I will wait for the queen to come back here. Why should I go to that crappy Fengdu with you?"
"It's impossible for Madam Xie to come back in a short time. What are you doing here alone? Aren't you afraid that the dogs in the city will find you and take you away?"
"I, Hu Qianli, am no longer the person I used to be. Now ordinary dogs can't do anything to me. Xiaozhuang, you insist on letting me go with you. Are you reluctant to let me go? If you really can't bear to let me go, you can beg me, and I might agree."
"Can't bear to leave you? Bah! I'm just afraid that you'll cry here!"
"Will I, Hu Qianli, cry?"
"Who cried so hard when Aunt Lian passed away that day?"
"You, you, you are the same, aren't you? Your eyes are so swollen, and you still have the nerve to say that to me!"
There is no end to the argument between the two primary schools.
The old locust tree was speechless when it saw this, and it shook its branches to indicate that you should stop arguing, and if you really have to, just fight.
Zhuang Mochen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He forcibly separated them and then looked at Zhuang Yan and said.
"Hu Qianli is indeed not suitable to go to Fengdu with us."
Zhuang Yan asked subconsciously.
"why?"
Although the little white fox had its back to the enemy, its ears were erected.
Zhuang Mochen sighed softly.
"Fengdu is not as good as Xiaoning County. As the capital of Qian Country, the situation there is more complicated. If your mother had not passed away early and left you in Xiaoning County without anyone to take care of you, I would have even wanted to leave you here too."
"Once you enter Fengdu, it's like entering a deep sea. Your father and I may seem to have a good time, but in fact, we don't know what will happen."
"The little white fox is a demon after all. Although he can cast spells and transform himself to confuse others, he is not truly transformed. It is hard to guarantee that he will not be discovered. If some moralists want to exorcise the demon without knowing right or wrong, I am not Empress Xie and may not be able to protect him. Therefore, let him stay in Xiaoning County. This is also what Empress Xie wants."
Before Zhuang Yan could say anything, the little white fox turned around and asked eagerly.
"Did Madam Xie say this?"
The thing that bothered him the most these days was that Xie Lian left without saying goodbye.
I didn't even tell him anything before I left.
"Even though Madam Xie didn't say it explicitly, I can guess it."
Zhuang Mochen said with a smile.
"Think about it, when Madam Xie was still around, did she pay much attention to your studies?"
"In her eyes, you are simple, innocent, and just a child. You shouldn't experience anything too complicated right now, but should grow up in a familiar environment."
"After all, there is the old locust tree here, and your elders in Qingping Mountain."
Hearing Zhuang Mochen mentioning him, the old locust tree was very happy and kept shaking its leaves to show its presence.
But after hearing this, the little white fox became even more sad.
"Alas, I feel even more uncomfortable when I mention my elders. Madam Xie is gone, and Uncle Tiger and Uncle Monkey also want to leave, saying that one needs to hone his skills outside to cultivate his physical skills, and the other needs to keep fighting to cultivate his fighting skills. They have made up their minds, and I have tried to persuade them for a long time, but it was useless. Mr. Zhuang, I feel so uncomfortable, isn't it good for everyone to be together? Why do we have to separate? Madam Xie is gone, and the uncles are leaving too."
Zhuang Mochen didn't know much about the affairs of Qingping Mountain, nor did he understand much about the cultivation of the tiger demon and the monkey demon, but this did not prevent him from comforting the little white fox.
He sat next to the little white fox, put his hand on his head and said.
"This is what you have to go through when you grow up. Today's separation is for a better reunion in the future. One day, everyone around you will leave you, and you will be the only one who can walk your path."
The little white fox stretched out his paws to cover his eyes.
"That's too hard. I don't want to grow up."
When Zhuang Yan saw this, tears welled up in his eyes, as if he felt the same way.
Zhuang Mochen said nothing more.
This is the truth. The little white fox may not be able to accept it at the moment, but he will slowly understand it in the future.
He sat with Erxiao for a while, and after they calmed down a little, he slowly spoke.
"Zhuang Yan is my son. As a father, I can naturally decide some things for him before he grows up."
"But Hu Qianli, strictly speaking, you and I are not familiar with each other, but you are Yan'er's good friend, and you are also Empress Xie's student, so I will be bold enough to give you a suggestion."
"If you agree, it may also be beneficial to your future practice."
Hearing this, Hu Qianli hurriedly said.
"Mr. Zhuang, you are too polite. You are Madam Xie's best friend, and naturally you are also my elder. If you have any suggestions, please tell me and I will do as you say."
Zhuang Mochen smiled and nodded, saying.
"After Madam Xie left, I asked Yan'er to pass on a message for me, asking you to visit the academy more often when you have nothing to do. I wonder if you have been there?"
Hu Qianli nodded. He had indeed been to the academy these days. The scene of Zhuang Mochen teaching students to read reminded him of himself and Xie Lian. The more he watched, the more he missed them.
"I am about to go to Fengdu. The only thing I owe is the children in the school. After all, they have only studied with me for a few months. If the school is disbanded, it will be suspected of misleading the students. So Zhuang wants you to replace Zhuang and go to the school as a teacher to teach these children."
Zhuang Mochen said slowly.
"what?"
Hu Qianli looked surprised.
“How can I teach others to read?”
"Why not? I heard from Yan'er that after you learn something from Madam Xie, you will go back and teach your elders. You already have some experience, and you are also proficient in the art of illusion. As long as you pretend to be a human, the children will definitely not find any flaws."
"No, I can't."
Hu Qianli still refused. He had a certain fear about teaching children to read and seemed to have never thought about it.
After all, he is still a child at heart, how can he possibly teach other children?
"Why can't you? Before I leave, I will tell the children and their parents that you are a very good elementary school teacher. They will believe me. Besides, you are also a student of Madam Xie. You have been studying here for so long. Not only do you know the Thousand Character Classic, you also know Madam Xie's teaching method, which is to teach through entertainment. Have you forgotten all that?"
Zhuang Mochen's words made Hu Qianli fall into deep thought.
It was mainly the words "Xie Niangniang's student" that touched him.
Zhuang Mochen patted his shoulder gently.
"The reason why I asked you to do this is, firstly, to share my worries and allow the school to continue to operate, and secondly, to find you something to do. I know you are still a child at heart, but it is precisely because of this that you should take on some responsibilities. As a man, you will eventually grow up. As for the third reason, Madam Xie's teaching method is most suitable for elementary education. Although Zhuang knows how to teach with fun, he is used to being serious and it is difficult for him to get along with children. You, on the other hand, do not have this problem."
“Doing something can help you grow faster and also help you forget your worries.”
"I'm not sure if this will help your practice, but Madam Xie said that life is full of changes and the world is a place to refine one's mind. I think there shouldn't be any harm in this. It's up to you how to do it."
"But I'm a demon, how can I be a teacher for humans?"
"Madam Xie is a human being, won't she still teach you to read?"
Hu Qianli thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said.
"I agreed."
Then he said.
"I will definitely try my best to do well and not bring shame to Mr. Zhuang and Madam Xie!"
Zhuang Mochen said with relief.
"it is good."
After a while, they arrived at the school.
Zhuang Mochen stood on the stage, looking at the students sitting below, revealing a gentle smile.
"Children, please welcome your new teacher." Hu Qianli transformed into a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pretty face, thin and tall. Looking closely, she looked about three or four points similar to Xie Lian.
Speaking of which, Hu Qianli is indeed a male fox, but the person he is closest to is Xie Lian, so the image he transforms into is trying his best to be in the direction of Xie Lian.
He was obviously a little nervous, but after seeing Zhuang Yan's encouraging eyes, he let out a long breath and strode to the front of the stage.
"My name is Hu Qianli, and I'm your new teacher."
-
The old horse pulled the old carriage, moving farther and farther away in the sunset.
Zhuang Mochen's short journey back home ended here.
He drew aside the curtain and looked at the countryside on both sides of the carriage, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
"I wanted to wait for you here, but I didn't expect that Zhuang would leave too. Mr. Xie, I don't know when we will see each other again."
Zhuang Yan looked at the sadness and nostalgia in his father's eyes.
Thinking quietly in my heart.
"Dad must be reluctant to part with Aunt Lian."
He and the little white fox were reluctant to leave and cried bitterly, but Zhuang Mochen did not cry.
Is this what being an adult is?
It turns out that adults can’t cry easily after experiencing separation.
Compared to the melancholy and nostalgia of the Zhuang father and son at this moment, Xie Lian seemed much happier.
The sixty-six dragon fish are gifts for the dragon grandson. I have asked Zhu Qingqing to keep them well but be sure not to kill them.
Zhu Qingqing looked just as joyful as Xie Lian.
She actually didn't have much appetite, having been fasting for who knows how many years, but seeing Xie Lian holding big fish in each hand and smiling as if bathed in spring breeze, she was also infected.
She felt that Xie Lian was very genuine, his emotions were sincere, he didn't care much about his own status, and he wouldn't act like a senior.
For example, now, she wanted to eat fish, so she excitedly ran to the restaurant which was said to have the best cooking skills in Xinghua Prefecture.
Xinghua Prefecture is a large prefecture with seven or eight counties under its jurisdiction. There are many water networks here, and fish has always been an important source of income, so there are many fishermen.
Because there is no shortage of water, a large amount of land was reclaimed many years ago. For several dynasties in a row, Xinghua Prefecture was considered an important granary.
Although I heard that the grain harvest has not been very good in recent decades, with extreme weather conditions often occurring where it rains for several months, or does not rain for several months, Xinghua Prefecture is still relatively prosperous.
At least among all the cities Xie Lian has been to, it can be considered the best.
Of course, the reason for this calculation is to exclude Fengdu.
At that time, she did not stay in Fengdu at all. She slipped away quickly as if she was escaping for her life. She had no time to experience the local customs and culture along the way, and she did not have any deep impression.
But Xinghua Prefecture is different.
As Xie Lian walked along the road, although it could not be said that the place was bustling with flowers and brocade, there were still a lot of people and visitors, and it seemed like a peaceful scene.
For ordinary people, as long as there is no war and no one dies, even if life is a little hard, it is considered peaceful.
Xie Lian walked all the way to the east of the city. When he saw a two-story building, his eyes lit up. He walked to the door and saw a flag hanging on it that read "Jiang Hu Restaurant".
"Is this the restaurant with the best cooking skills in Xinghua Prefecture?"
Zhu Qingqing took a look and then frowned.
"Why doesn't it feel like it?"
The restaurant's business was good, but the diners did not look like nobles, but rather some ruffians. Some of them stood on stools and drank from big bowls, some were playing finger-guessing games, some were chatting loudly, and occasionally bursting into rough laughter.
These people carry swords with them and look like they are not easy to mess with.
"Guess why this place is called Jianghu Restaurant?"
Xie Lian looked at the flag fluttering in front of the store.
"The Jianghu, those with good looks are all Jianghu people. You see, the people present here seem a little unkempt, but who knows, there might be heroes who are chivalrous and willing to help others. The things in the Jianghu are very exciting to talk about. As the saying goes, a cup of wine for peaches and plums in the spring breeze, and a lamp for ten years in the Jianghu rain."
As Xie Lian, who grew up watching martial arts novels, how could he not have longed for the world of Jianghu and had a dream of becoming a martial arts hero?
So when she saw these people from the underworld, she not only did not look down on them, but instead felt quite close to them and was curious about them.
If possible, she would actually like to experience the world of martial arts.
But think about it, she is a cultivator now after all. If she becomes the leader of the martial arts world or organizes a hero conference or something, it would be bullying to some extent. Would she still have any shame if it got out?
So I had to give up this idea in disappointment.
"A cup of wine in the spring breeze, a lamp for ten years in the night rain"
Zhu Qingqing chewed it a little. She didn't understand poetry very well, but as far as this sentence was concerned, the more she chewed it, the more delicious it became.
"My lady, how come you know everything?"
Xie Lian chuckled and was about to explain, but a bold voice came.
"Great sentence, great poem!"
A middle-aged bald man sitting on the doorstep couldn't help but applaud.
His voice was like a loud bell, perhaps with a bit of excitement, his voice sounded even more like thunder. After he stood up, his fat and strong body was quite intimidating, coupled with his bald image, and if he held a crescent shovel in his hand and wore a large string of Buddhist beads around his neck, he would be very close to the image of the Flower Monk.
The bald man walked up to Xie Lian, clasped his fists and said.
"My name is Zhu Zixiong. I used to wander around the martial arts world in my early years, but I got tired of the fighting and chose to retire. I used my savings to open this restaurant in Xinghua Prefecture. Brothers from the martial arts world have always come to support us. It is rare to see a lady from a noble family like you. The poem you just said almost fully expressed the feelings of the martial arts people. Thinking about it now, I can't help but recall the past."
Xie Lian was holding fish in both hands, so it was difficult for him to salute. He could only nod and speak.
"It turned out to be Hero Zhu."
Zhu Zixiong said quickly.
"What hero? I've been out of the martial world for a long time. If you think highly of me, just call me Boss Zhu."
Although he said that, his face was still full of joy. I'm afraid he hasn't heard of this title for a long time.
"Miss, are you coming to our restaurant to eat? Just based on the poem you just said, I, Old Zhu, will make the decision today and the bill will be waived."
He patted his chest, took on a lot of responsibilities, and seemed very generous.
"Thank you for your kindness, Boss Zhu. However, we really don't intend to order dishes today. Instead, we brought our own ingredients. We heard that the chef at Jianghu Restaurant has the best skills, so we want to ask him to help us with the processing. As for the processing fee, it will be whatever it is. Doing business is not easy, and I can't take advantage of it."
Xie Lian said as he held up the three fish he was holding.
In his right hand he was holding a dragon fish, and in his left hand he was holding two ordinary spirit fish.
Xie Lian had quite a harvest this time, catching a total of five common spirit fish and three dragon fish. She had originally wanted to catch them all at once, but she found that these fish were so big that she and Zhu Qingqing could not possibly finish them all.
I had to eat three first and save the rest for later on the way.
"Just help with the processing? It's a small matter, leave it to me, but the fish you brought, sir, hiss!"
Zhu Zixiong didn't pay attention to it before, but now that he looked carefully, he was completely shocked.
If it was just a big fish, then it wouldn't be a big deal. He has traveled all over the country for many years, so what kind of big fish has he not seen?
But these three fish were not just big, they also exuded a sense of spirituality. When he stared at the fish, the fish were also looking at him.
Her eyeballs rolled around and even reacted to his movements.
That would be fine, the most important thing is the dragon fish that Xie Lian is holding in his right hand.
She even closed her eyes and was too lazy to even look at him.
But when he looked at the fish, he felt a sense of awe-inspiring power without being angry, and he even dared not to look at it for too long.
Of course, he didn't know that it was the trace of dragon power in the dragon fish's blood that was causing trouble.
"These three fish were all caught from Diaolong Lake. I wonder if Boss Zhu can handle them?"
"Diaolong Lake!?"
As a local, how could Zhu Zixiong not know the fame of Diaolong Lake?
His heart skipped a beat immediately, and the moment he looked up suddenly, he saw Xie Lian's smiling eyes.
I suddenly felt relieved.
"So you're fishing for the spiritual fish in Dragon Lake. That's not surprising. That's not surprising. Please come in, both of you!"
He quickly bowed and warmly invited Xie Lian and the other two to come in.
A clean table was immediately cleared, and after the two were seated, tea was served. Zhu Zixiong then carried three fish into the kitchen.
"Brother, are you really fishing for the precious fish in Long Lake?"
A large group of people from the kitchen gathered around, their eyes filled with excitement.
The legend of Diaolong Lake has been around for thousands of years. As locals of Xinghua Prefecture, how could they not know about it?
However, although countless people have gone fishing throughout history, only a very few have actually caught anything, or at least they have never seen it.
"Is it the legendary spirit fish? Can't you tell?"
Zhu Zixiong reached out and stroked the perfect and supple body of the spirit fish, his eyes full of shock.
"If we present this fish to the imperial court, we can all become high-ranking officials!"
One sentence aroused the greed in everyone's hearts.
Someone avoided my gaze and rubbed his hands.
"How about we"
As a result, Zhu Zixiong's face changed and he glared at him fiercely.
"I just said that, and you really dare to be moved. Do you want to die?"
The man lowered his head and said aggrievedly.
"I'm also thinking about my brothers. It's a great fortune that this precious fish has fallen into our hands. We can't just throw it all away."
Others nodded.
If it were ordinary benefits, they could still give it up, but this is the "precious fish" in Diaolong Lake.
It's hard for them not to be tempted.
"Let me ask you, if you caught fish from Diaolong Lake, what would you do?"
Zhu Zixiong sneered and asked.
"Work for the government and become a high-ranking official!!"
"Sell it and get money!"
Everyone spoke one after another.
"But these two outside brought it here and are going to cook it and eat it."
Zhu Zixiong said.
"Are they stupid? How could they bear to eat this?"
"I think you are stupid. Are you really blinded by greed? Are the fish in the lake something that ordinary people can catch? Not only did these two catch some, they caught three in one go and brought them directly to us for processing. Can ordinary people have such courage?"
Zhu Zixiong took a deep breath and said.
"They don't fish for gold or silver, nor for a future. They fish just for food. You can imagine what kind of people they are."
Everyone was not really stupid. After being enlightened, they suddenly understood.
"Could it be a fairy..."
"Shh!"
"Anyway, do what we are supposed to do. I will cook for you later. Don't ruin these three fish. You can help me in the kitchen."
The stove was lit in the kitchen quickly, and soon the seasonings were put into the pot, and the aroma came out.
outside.
Zhu Qingqing sneered.
"They still have some brains."
Obviously, the girl was worried and kept listening.
"It's normal for people to have desires. If you don't have desires, that's why Saint's Jianghu Restaurant is so famous. It's not just because of the cooking skills, but also because of the honesty of doing things. They don't cheat on the weight or do things perfunctorily. Otherwise, do you think these Jianghu guests are easy to serve? These people are likely to overturn the table and chop people if they don't agree with each other."
“Good fortune and bad luck come from nowhere, but are brought upon themselves.”
Xie Lian took a sip of the tea. It was just a very ordinary tea. In the past, she would not have thought it was anything special. However, her taste had been spoiled by Dan Yangzi. She was used to drinking the Cloud Mist Fairy Tea. After drinking these ordinary teas, she could tell the difference.
It’s a pity that the amount of Cloud and Mist Fairy Tea was really limited. Danyangzi sent it twice, but Xie Lian only had less than half of it left.
The remaining half is so precious that I can’t bear to drink more.
Zhu Zixiong’s good reputation is not undeserved. He served the dish in just half an hour.
It wasn't just one dish, but three dishes at once.
The main dish was arowana, but because it was so big, it couldn’t even fit on one table, so they had to put another table together.
The whole fish was piled high with spices, spicy, fresh, and hot, which immediately whetted Xie Lian’s taste buds.
There were two spirit fish left, one was stewed into soup without any other seasonings. It was just boiled in clear water. The soup base was milky white, and as soon as the lid was opened, a refreshing and delicious aroma could be smelled.
The other one was steamed, which preserved the appearance of the spirit fish very well. The fish meat was tender, which made people's appetite grow.
As soon as these three fish dishes were served, the entire restaurant, and even the street outside the restaurant, was filled with fragrance.
“It smells so good!”
"Boss Zhu, what kind of dish are you making?"
"Shh, this smell is so appetizing!"
All the diners could no longer sit still. They stood up and gathered around to look at the three fish that filled two tables.
Some people swallowed their saliva.
"Boss Zhu, you are so disrespectful. You have such delicious food, but you don't give me a portion?"
Zhu Zixiong smiled bitterly.
"These three fish were brought by the guests themselves. How could I, Old Zhu, catch them?"
As he spoke, he looked at Xie Lian, with a look of uneasiness in his eyes.
"Miss, would you like to try it?"
