The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 24 Treat
Lu Youjiao talked incessantly about Hong Qigong's heroic feat of eradicating Qingyu Temple in one fell swoop, and the shopkeeper Wei beside him was amazed and prostrated himself to support him.

The more Lu Youjiao spoke, the more excited he became, his mouth spitting, his hands gesticulating, his face flushed.

Wu Chengyu dealt with it casually and pretended to praise the Beggars' Sect, but he no longer cared about Qingyu Temple. As long as it did not threaten Wu Chengyu himself, whether it was evil or demons, it had nothing to do with Wu Chengyu. He was bored and took a rare look at Lu Youjiao.

Now that Hong Qigong is not here, Lu Youjiao, the future leader of the Beggars' Sect, is the person in charge of this branch. Before, Hong Qigong was in the front, and Wu Chengyu didn't bother to look at him much. With just a glance, he came to the conclusion that he was short, dark and thick.

Now that we look at each other face to face, these six words are a perfect description. It would be even better if Lu Youjiao shaved his hair and left a heart-shaped shape on the top of his head. No wonder Wu Chengyu had such an impression of him as soon as she saw him. It turns out that he looks like a little black fat guy.

Of course, we are talking about body shape and skin color. Lu Youjiao's facial features are fierce and stupid, and he is far less smart and clever than Teacher Guo.

It seems that a certain gang society has been talking too much crosstalk these days. Wu Chengyu couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. Lu Youjiao, who was praising Hong Qigong, suddenly felt unhappy when he saw this.

"Why, Master Xiao Wu, do you think what someone said is wrong? If you have any dissatisfaction with our Beggars' Sect, please speak up."

Damn, are all the Beggars' Sect members so blunt? They can't even shake their heads and smile? Wu Chengyu complained inwardly, but he had to immediately appease Lu Youjiao. It was hard to predict the logic behind such blunt people; they were stubborn and could not be reasoned with.

Wu Chengyu will have to recuperate here for the next few months and doesn't want to have any grudges with Lu Youjiao.

Wu Chengyu took a bun from A Ku and threw it directly to Lu Youjiao. Lu Youjiao subconsciously took it in his hand and was unable to attack for a while.

This was Wu Chengyu's deliberate psychological induction. As a member of the dirty clothes faction, Lu Youjiao had been begging for food for a long time before. Meat buns were a good thing for him, and he was used to smiling immediately when someone gave him alms. This was his professional instinct. As soon as Wu Chengyu made this move, his unhappy face immediately wanted to laugh but couldn't, which was quite funny.

"How could I dare to be dissatisfied with the Beggars' Sect? It's just that when Captain Lu spoke of Master Hong's wisdom and bravery, and his eradication of evil, I couldn't help but yearn for him. I only sighed that the time I spent with Master Hong was too short last time, and I wasn't able to listen to his teachings."

It is easy to appease a stupid guy like Lu Youjiao, and with the help of Manager Wei next to him, Lu Youjiao's face immediately brightened as soon as Wu Chengyu said this.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the City God Temple: "Why, am I really that desirable to you? Why do I feel like you've always really disliked me?"

It turned out to be Hong Qigong who had returned, and everyone immediately stood up to greet him.

He walked a few steps to Lu You's feet, grabbed the bun he had just got and swallowed it in three bites, then stared at the only one left in A Ku's hand. A Ku blinked and hid behind Wu Chengyu.

Sometimes eyes can't lie. Wu Chengyu complained in her heart many times and rolled her eyes subconsciously, but Hong Qigong saw it all. He really felt that Wu Chengyu disliked him. Hong Qigong couldn't figure out the reason and couldn't find any evidence.

Wu Chengyu would never let him get hold of anything, so he immediately bowed and said, "Congratulations to Gang Leader Hong for wiping out the Qingyu Temple and eliminating a nuisance for the people."

Hong Qigong's expression straightened. He gestured for everyone to sit down, then said to Wu Chengyu, "This trip to Qingyu Temple was truly appalling. That evil sect has already killed several children. My Beggars' Sect failed to detect this in time and even aided and abetted this evil. How can we congratulate them?"

Wu Chengyu glanced at Lu Youjiao, his eyes seemed to tell Lu Youjiao to learn what a gang leader's responsibility and vision meant, but unfortunately Lu Youjiao's eyes were still blank.

No one wanted to talk about Qingyu Temple anymore. With Hong Qigong here, Manager Wei felt quite awkward. Hong Qigong was not good at dealing with businessmen. Manager Wei's flattery worked on Lu Youjiao, but it only annoyed Hong Qigong.

Manager Wei understood the hint very well and immediately stood up to say goodbye. Seeing him leave, Hong Qigong also became casual and looked at Wu Chengyu and asked.

"You've been hiding at home these past few days. I don't know what you've been doing. How come you have time to come here to find me today? And it just so happens that I'm back. It seems you've calculated my whereabouts."

Wu Chengyu would never admit it, he answered with the most honest smile.

"Actually, I just came to visit my fellow Beggars' Sect members, especially Big Brother Lu. I was lucky enough to wait for Gang Leader Hong to return. However, since Gang Leader Hong is back, I also have something to ask of you."

"Come on, there aren't many things you can ask of me."

"I'm so lucky to have Gang Leader Hong rescue me this time. I can't express my gratitude enough. I'm going to cook a few dishes for you tonight. I beg you to do me a favor."

"You really just want to treat me to a meal?"

"Of course not. There's one more small matter that I can't discuss here, but it's definitely a piece of cake for the gang leader. I'll be waiting for you tonight at 4 p.m."

"get out."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The You hour is between 17pm and 19pm, which is dinner time.

Wu Chengyu prepared dinner early. He prepared this meal sincerely to express his gratitude to Hong Qigong. In addition to ordering a braised pork elbow from Hongyun Restaurant, he also used the bamboo slips to make three dishes and a soup through repeated experiments.

The delicious and freshly fried scrambled eggs with shrimps and the braised spring bamboo shoots made with seasonal bamboo shoots have the perfect combination of seasoning and the fragrance of bamboo shoots.

Steam the fat chicken legs and tear them into strips. Pour the dipping sauce on top according to the recipe given in the bamboo slips, and you have a plate of shredded chicken. There is also a mushroom soup, which is fried slowly over low heat to fully bring out the flavor of the mushrooms. You don’t need to add much seasoning, just a pinch of salt and a handful of green onions.

Wu Chengyu is not his cheap cousin who has to pretend to be elegant when cooking. It is obvious that she has been brainwashed by Huang Yaoshi. She plays the songs "Whose House is Listening to Falling Plum Blossoms on the Jade Flute" and "Good Buddy Soup". Wu Chengyu only makes home-cooked dishes, but with the addition of bamboo slips, these dishes are far beyond his previous level.

Hong Qigong attended the meeting as scheduled and even brought his own wine. He was quite surprised to see the dishes prepared by Wu Chengyu. He was definitely a gourmet, but he didn't expect that the home-cooked dishes made by Wu Chengyu herself completely exceeded his expectations. The appearance was not exquisite, but the taste was very good. For a moment, the chopsticks became a phantom.

Before long, except for half of the pork elbow left, all the dishes made by Wu Chengyu were eaten up by Hong Qigong. Fortunately, Wu Chengyu had anticipated this and served a separate portion for A Ku, otherwise A Ku would have gone hungry.

After eating and drinking his fill, Hong Qigong touched his stomach and burped, feeling extremely satisfied but still wanting more.

"I never thought Huang Lao Xie's disciple would be best at cooking. Interesting. Wu boy, how about you consider joining the Beggars' Sect?"

He liked Wu Chengyu's talent before, but now his invitation was completely impure. Wu Chengyu was too lazy to respond to him and decided to get straight to the point.

"Since Boss Hong is quite satisfied with this meal, I would like to thank you for your help. Now, the next step is what I meant by a simple favor."

"tell me the story."

Wu Chengyu pointed to the wound on his left leg and said with a smile, "Help the boy break it."

Sometimes the road ahead is full of twists and turns. I published it last Monday, and by this Monday, there were five working days and two rest days, but the number of collections was only 42. I was basically desperate and thought it might fail.

But I didn't expect the final result to be approval and contract signing. The editors I submitted it to didn't like it, but another editor quickly picked it up. It seems authors and editors have their compatibility issues, but I finally got the contract signed. Thank you all for your support.

I will continue writing step by step according to my outline. I don’t ask for anything else, I just hope that you will keep reading.

Thank you
