The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

Among them, Zhong Wen had no idea how many bad things Li Gaoming said about himself, but thinking about it, there must be some bad things here.

"Does His Royal Highness know? In terms of seniority, I am your uncle. Do you think it is appropriate for you to ask an elder for food?"

Although Zhong Wen didn't know whether Li Gaoming had inquired about Li Shimin, but he still felt a little uncomfortable, so he directly told the matter.

"What the Taoist priest said is very true. In terms of seniority, I really should call you uncle. In fact, there is a reason why I came to ask the Taoist priest for food. Recently, my mother is ill and always has no appetite. Some gruel, I feel very uncomfortable. I heard from my elder brother yesterday that the Taoist dishes are extremely delicious, so I came here to ask for it. As for the matter of this generation, I only found out after I went to ask my father. Besides, you are my uncle, shouldn't you agree to my junior's request?"

Li Qingque is advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and Zhong Wen is not allowed to fight back at all.

Of course, if Zhong Wen really didn't want to do it, no one would be able to force him, but Li Qingque had already talked about this, and if he didn't do it, he would look very stingy.

"So that's the case, then my uncle really has to satisfy your wish. Then you have to prepare the ingredients yourself."

Zhong Wen wasn't stingy, it wasn't that he was stingy, because just as Li Qingque was talking to him, Jin Shui and Xu Fu not far away gave him winks.

Although, at first, Zhong Wen thought that the two of them said not to agree to this matter, but in the end, he realized that the bastard wanted him to ask Li Qingque to pay for it.

It really doesn't matter if it's money or not, but since these two guys are so winking at him, then let Li Qingque pay for it, guess Jinshui and the others want to eat for nothing.

"The Taoist priest agreed, haha, I knew that you would definitely agree."

Li Qingque heard Zhong Wen agree, and then laughed loudly.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen took a written list and handed it over to Li Qingque to prepare.

But within an hour, the food was delivered, and it was the ingredients of two carriages, which made Zhong Wen think that Li Qingque was preparing to open a restaurant.

As for Jin Shui and Xu Fu, after seeing the ingredients in these two carriages, they were so excited, they jumped into the carriage and started to move things.

Seeing this state, Zhong Wen swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Forget it, let's do it, let's make a few more dishes, anyway, there are a lot of ingredients, and dinner happens to be available.

"Master Dao, I don't know if these ingredients are enough. If not, I'll ask them to go back and get them."

Li Qingque approached Zhong Wen with a smile on his face.

Even though he was a poor kid, he spoke in an orderly and steady manner.

But what does Zhong Wen think, how does he feel that this little brat came here deliberately to find trouble.

"That's enough. I have everything I need. I'll go to deal with the ingredients first. You can stay here for dinner later."

Zhong Wen nodded, and then went to the back kitchen.

On the other hand, Li Qingque, with a smile on her little face, felt like she had won a battle.

Food processing, in fact, there are those two or two goods, basically nothing to do with Zhong Wen.

However, among these ingredients, there are things he urgently needs, and these things are basically the ingredients he needs to make seasonings.

For example, the shrimp, of course, must be sea shrimp.

This is the best ingredient to enhance the flavor, so far.

The coloring materials are basically Chinese herbal medicines, such as that mast.

In this era, if there is no dark soy sauce to color, then use the most primitive materials to color. Of course, if there is sugar, it is also possible.

It's just a pity that Zhong Wen didn't have time to brew any soy sauce in advance, so he had to use this sauce to color it, and use some bean paste to enhance the flavor.

The back kitchen was as busy as a train running, rattling and rattling.

And in the lobby, Li Qingque, with his guards, sat there drinking tea with nothing to do, just like a wealthy landlord.

After all, he is a prince, not an ordinary person who can do work.

However, Li Qingque originally wanted to send his servants to help, Zhong Wen didn't have any objections, but he was kicked out by those scumbags. .

From the morning to the afternoon, Zhong Wen, the chef, never stopped, and even if he had a chance to drink tea, there were very few of them.

Fortunately, there are those two-and-a-half people to help, otherwise, Zhong Wen probably doesn't want to deal with the back kitchen.

This time, although Li Qingque got a lot of ingredients, Zhong Wen didn't cook many dishes.

A big pot of braised pork is definitely indispensable.

Basically, the dishes are almost the same as the wedding banquet that day, except for the three-cup chicken, there are quite a few other dishes.

However, because Li Qingque said that his mother was ill, there would be relatively more bland ones.

For this reason, Zhong Wen specially made two more light dishes.

For example, the steamed egg custard, and a spring bamboo shoot soup, but the egg flower, vegetable and mushroom soup was replaced.

As for this dinner, Li Qingque didn't even eat it, and took three big food boxes, got into the carriage and left, saying that he wanted to deliver it to his mother while it was still hot.

Zhong Wen didn't care anyway, he came here to beg for food for his mother, so couldn't he send the food over quickly?

As for whether these dishes were cold or hot after they arrived in the palace, Zhong Wen didn't know that. Besides, these dishes were still for the emperor and empress, so there must be a lot of food testers. Otherwise, if someone poisoned her, it would be fine.

Zhong Wen stood in front of the gate of the guest house, watching Li Qingque's carriage leave, feeling emotional in his heart.

"This Li Qingque is really filial. I don't know how long this kind of heart can last."

"Daoist, hurry up and come over to eat. If you don't come, this dish will be cold. Once the dish is cold, the taste will be much worse."

At this time, when Zhong Wen was feeling emotional, Jin Shui's foodie shouted loudly to Zhong Wen, making Zhong Wen who was feeling very helpless in his heart.

When I met these two scumbags, I was really, alas, how should I put it, even I started to become a scumbag.

On the second day, Zhong Wen still stayed in the guest house, reviewing the medical skills he had learned.

On the third day, still.

On the fourth day, continue.

At noon on the fifth day, Li Shan broke in suddenly.

"Xiao Daoist, are you free today? Last time you promised me, I happen to be a little free at this time. Otherwise, let's go outside the city and try our hand."

After Li Shan came to the guest house, he bluntly said that Zhong Wen promised him the competition last time.

"Commander Li, I'm reviewing my medical skills. If you're in a hurry, let's go now."

Zhong Wen didn't procrastinate, he saw that it was Li Shan who came, and what Li Shan said was what he promised, anyway, he also wanted to confirm the extent of his martial arts after letting go of his hands and feet, and then Nod in response.

"Then let's go, I brought the horse." Li Shan responded.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen returned to the room, took his meteoric iron sword, and mounted Li Shan on horseback, heading for the south gate of Chang'an City.

An hour later, the two came to the forest outside Zhongnan Mountain and found a deserted and slightly open place.

"Xiao Daoist, please make a move."

Li Shan couldn't wait a long time ago. As soon as he arrived at the place, he began to hold his horse and put on a posture of fighting.

"Then Commander Li, please be careful. This time, I will do my best."

Zhong Wen didn't expect Li Shan to be so eager, he pulled out the sword directly, threw the scabbard aside, and said in a low voice.

"bring it on."

As soon as Li Shan finished speaking, he rushed towards Zhong Wen with his horse in his hand.

"choke choke."

Two people fight, maybe only two people know.

And because there was no one around, the two basically fought with all their strength, leaving no way out.

Li Shan wanted to test Zhong Wen's ultimate skill, and Zhong Wen wanted to know not only how his own martial arts were, but also wanted to know what the most fortified Miyagi guard in the world was.

The fight last time was just a few tricks, but now, if I don't try my best, I feel sorry for myself and the other party.

"choke choke"

The fight continued, and the fight between the two began. From the moment the horse and the sword alternated, the sound of weapons colliding resounded in the mountains and forests.

Ten strokes, the two are evenly matched.

Twenty strokes, Li Shan's defeat has been missed.

After 25 strokes, Li Shan was tired of coping and retreated again and again.

27 strokes, Li Shan already knew in his heart that he couldn't survive [-] strokes.

No.20 Nine strokes, Li Shan was slashed by Zhong Wen once on the arm, three slashes on the chest, and two slashes on the back.

Zhong Wen stopped the sword in his hand, stood aside, and looked at Li Shan.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Li Shan, who stopped fighting, bowed his body and bent his waist, panting heavily there.

"Xiao Daoist, I never thought that you are already a congenital master. I don't know if it is the luck or the misfortune of the Taoist sect to have such a young congenital master like you in the world."

After Li Shan rested, he looked at his body, all his clothes, which were cut seven times by Zhong Wen's sword, and admired in his heart.

Originally, he thought that in Zhong Wen's hands, he could survive a hundred moves no matter what, but in this fight, he couldn't even pass thirty moves. Apart from admiring secretly, the rest in his heart could only be his own. Sigh.

"Commander Li, you flattered me, and I did my best, and I didn't leave any behind."

Zhong Wen didn't think at first that he could defeat Li Shan by his own sword with thirty moves.

Originally, according to his own estimation, to defeat Li Shan, at least fifty or sixty moves would be needed, but in the end, he never expected that within thirty moves, Li Shan could be defeated.

Of course, this can only be said to be his good luck.

If it wasn't for the epiphany in Yiyangguan, with this ice sword technique, everything would be unknown. After all, Tai Chi sword technique, Zhong Wen felt that it was not as good as this ice sword technique.

At this time, Zhong Wen also doubted in his heart whether his Taiji swordsmanship was in the wrong direction.

"Xiao Daoist, just now, when I was fighting with you, why was there a chill in your swordsmanship? After every sword move, I couldn't breathe, and I always felt that my inner breath , all seem to be suppressed, unable to run smoothly, Xiao Daochang, what kind of swordsmanship is your swordsmanship?"

Li Shan approached Zhong Wen, looked at the gray sword in Zhong Wen's hand, and then stared into Zhong Wen's eyes again, asking questions.

For the fight just now, Li Shan felt that facing such a sword technique was extremely uncomfortable, as if he was in the cold.

"This is the Ice Sword Technique. I can't say exactly what it is."

How could Zhong Wen explain clearly the state of the ice swordsmanship, at least for now, he couldn't explain clearly, perhaps, he would have a chance in the future.

Moreover, this ice sword technique is newly realized, and it still needs to be perfected. It's just that it has the ice attribute in the early stage. Maybe, after it is perfected, it will change into another look?

"Ice Sword Art, what a name!"

After listening to Li Shan, he felt that Zhong Wen might not want to talk about this ice sword technique, but he also praised the name of this sword technique.Although he already knew the sword technique used by Zhong Wen when they chatted some time ago, but now he can understand the meaning of the ice sword technique.

Moreover, just now, during the twenty or so moves that Li Shan and Zhong Wen fought, he already felt the icy cold.

Of course, at this time, he already had a certain understanding of Zhong Wen, and he already had a certain idea in his mind of what he should do in the future.

Chapter 245 Beef

The two came out after chatting for a while in the forest.

Then, the fast horse returned to Chang'an City.

After all, Li Shan just came to ask Zhong Wen to try his hand. He got what he wanted to know, so he should go back to work.

When Zhong Wen returned to the inn, the two men were nowhere to be seen, as if they didn't know where they had gone.

Zhong Wen searched the inn for a long time, but he couldn't find the two bastards.

It doesn't matter if you're not there or not, anyway.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen took out some medical books and continued to read them.

Half an hour later, Zhong Wen put down the medical book in his hand, walked out of the door of the inn, and looked towards both sides of the Lifang.

Although it was already afternoon, Zhong Wen looked around for a long time, but he still couldn't see the figures of those two or two people. It was about to make dinner, and if he didn't come back, the dinner would be missed.

"Why did these two bastards go? I have been back for half an hour, and I don't see these two people. Could it be that they went to the brothel?"

Zhong Wen had some doubts in his heart.

Usually at this point, the two of them would definitely be busy making dinner, but today, why does it feel a little strange?

Just as Zhong Wen turned to return to the guest house, he discovered that a donkey cart was approaching at the gate of Lifang, and Jin Shui and Xu Fu were following the donkey cart and coming towards the guest house.

"I said you guys are..."

When Zhong Wen saw the donkey cart dragging a long-dead cow, he felt a little puzzled.

Although this kind of ox is also a common thing in Chang'an City, after all, in this era, there are either horse carts or donkey carts. Of course, there are also many ox carts.
