Words must die [Comprehensive martial arts]

"It's time to eat—"

Accompanied by Baozi's cheers, Gu Shenyan took the last bowl of noodles out of the pot.

Pour a full tablespoon of sesame paste and an appropriate amount of chili oil, then sprinkle with chopped green onion, diced mustard greens, and crushed peanuts prepared in advance, and you're done with a bowl of fragrant hot dry noodles.

"Baozi, take out the food first."

Gu Shenyan wiped his hands, turned around and prepared to serve the wontons. While cooking the noodles, he estimated the time and also put the wontons in the pot, and it was just right now.

"The shrimp dumplings are steamed too, right?" Lu Xiaofeng, who was hooked by the smell, couldn't hold back his hunger, and didn't even want to wait any longer, "I'll serve this!"

"Okay, but watch out for the steam."

Of course Gu Shenyan would not be polite to him.

It's not business hours now, and he's not entertaining guests as a boss, he's just inviting friends to have breakfast, there's no need to pay too much attention to etiquette.

In a few words, Gu Shenyan had already set up the soup bowls. He sprinkled green onion, seaweed and dried shrimps in each bowl in turn, and then poured in the broth that had been simmering all night.

Finally, put the wontons that have been cooked and controlled the moisture into the soup bowl, and add two drops of sesame oil.

"It smells so fresh."

Lu Xiaofeng, who hadn't walked out of the kitchen with the steamer in his hand, took a deep breath, feeling that his saliva was about to flow out uncontrollably.

"Of course." Gu Shenyan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This is a secret broth that has been boiled all night. Not only does it smell fresh, but it will be so fresh that you can't wait to swallow it with your tongue."

Lu Xiaofeng swallowed, and decided to drink soup first.

After all the wontons were served, Gu Shenyan turned around to get the dinner plate.

Suddenly, a pair of hands appeared beside him.

Tie Shou smiled at him with the plate in his hand, "You have worked hard on the cooking, so leave the rest to us."

Coming here early in the morning to bother people and causing so much trouble, he was too embarrassed to do nothing and just wait for dinner.

Fine.

Gu Shenyan quickly withdrew his hand, "Then remember to take the spoon and chopsticks too."

When Gu Shenyan came to the hall, Baozi and Lu Xiaofeng had already sat down very consciously.

The postures of the two were the same, with their waists straightened up and their hands folded on the table, just like elementary school students waiting for class, Gu Shenyan couldn't help laughing.

He randomly found an empty seat and sat down, then raised his hand and knocked on the table, deliberately sullen and serious.

Seeing this, the expressions on the faces of Lu Xiaofeng and Baozi couldn't help becoming serious.

"Before you eat this noodle, you must stir it evenly, and don't sprinkle it everywhere when you drink the soup. And most importantly, don't be picky eaters—do you hear me clearly?"

"Listen clearly!"

Baozi responded very well-behaved.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "...???"

A little confused.

Which one is this playing?

Baozi, who had already been promoted to a fanatical and die-hard fan of his boss, glared at him, and reminded in a low voice: "The boss is still waiting, you should hurry up and answer."

"Good good."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but raise his hand to stroke his beard, jokingly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, the children have grown up, you don't need to worry about eating any more."

Nonsense!

Baozi curled his lips, thinking that you have grown up, but I am still a baby.

You don't need the boss's concern, but I still need it!

Baozi's thoughts were almost written on his face, making Lu Xiaofeng and Gu Shenyan laugh secretly.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly understood the intention of Gu Shenyan's actions just now.

This little guy is so funny, it's really interesting to tease.

Just when he was about to move, planning to tease Baozi again, Tie Shou arrived in time with the dinner plate.

Is there anything more important than eating in this world?

of course not!

If there is, it only shows that the chef's craftsmanship is not good enough, and the taste of the food is not attractive enough.

As soon as the steaming bowl of fresh meat wontons came to the table, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't care less about other things. He impatiently picked up a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of soup, blew it lightly twice, and immediately stuffed it into his mouth.

As Gu Shenyan said before, this soup is delicious to the extreme, it looks clear and bright, but the taste is very rich, after the mouth, the fresh and fragrant breath instantly fills the mouth, stimulating every part of the tongue taste buds.

It's not an exaggeration at all, it really makes people want to swallow their tongues.

Tieshou habitually starts with the staple food. After mixing well, the hot dry noodles are attractive in color and exude a strong sauce aroma. The noodles are very chewy and chewy. When chewed together with crispy peanuts, the taste is wonderful. Word.

Paired with the sour and delicious diced mustard and the right amount of spiciness, it will whet your appetite and make you unable to stop the more you eat.

Shrimp dumplings are undoubtedly the most beautiful food on the table. They are white and crystal-clear, half-moon-shaped, and the meat filling is faintly visible. When you bite into it, you can first feel the flexibility of the dough, and then the refreshing and springy meat filling.

In addition to the whole shrimp, Gu Shenyan also added fat and thin pork fillings. After steaming, a small amount of juice will condense.

These juices not only contain the deliciousness of shrimp, but also the aroma of pork, which can be described as the essence of it. It is mixed with fabrics and meat fillings to make it richer in taste and full of aftertaste.

When all the food on the table was emptied, everyone still had more to say.

"it's a pity."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed with regret.

After breakfast, he thought of lunch, and when he thought of lunch, he didn't want to leave.

It's a pity that he has to send Jin Jiuling back to the city later, so he probably didn't think about lunch... Fortunately, he should be able to catch up with dinner.

Ironhand felt the same way, and he didn't even have to think about supper.

The case was only half investigated, and no red was caught, and Jin Jiuling had this kind of trouble again. He must be busy in the future, and I am afraid that there will be very few opportunities to come here for dinner.

But when he thought of Jin Jiuling, he couldn't help recalling some of the things that Baozi had said to him before.

Baozi said that the reason why Jin Jiuling was struck by lightning was because his boss had great powers and was able to communicate with the gods, so that the gods would send down the scourge to punish the wicked.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Iron Hands to believe such absurd remarks.

But Baozi's next description made him a little shaken.

There are many things in this world that can be explained by coincidence, but some things are so outrageous that it is impossible to classify them as coincidences.

If you say that the sky will be struck by lightning, you will be struck by lightning, and if you say that it will be struck five times, will it be struck five times?

No one would believe it was just a coincidence.

In contrast, it seems that the rhetoric of scourge and retribution is more credible.

But... To be honest, Tie Shou still has a lot of doubts about this, because in his impression, the retribution of the gods only exists in legends and stories, and there are almost no examples in reality.

He couldn't help asking Gu Shenyan: "Boss Gu, do you believe in retribution?"

Gu Shenyan raised his eyebrows, guessing that Baozi must have disclosed the 'coincidence' last night to Tie Shou, otherwise, Tie Shou would not have brought up this topic with him inexplicably.

He felt quite helpless in his heart, and after a little thought, he replied: "There is a saying in "Taishang Induction Chapter": There is no way to misfortune and good fortune, but people call on themselves; the rewards of good and evil follow each other like a shadow. "Tao Dao Jing" It is also said in the middle: the sky net is restored, and it is sparse but not lost."

"As a Taoist, Gu certainly believes in the saying that good and evil are rewarded."

Iron Hand suddenly realized that he had asked a particularly stupid question.

How could he have forgotten that Gu Shenyan was a Taoist disciple?

Asking a Taoist priest whether he believes in retribution is like asking a monk whether he believes in Buddha or not.

He rubbed the tip of his nose in embarrassment, trying to change the subject: "So you also think that what happened last night is the so-called retribution?"

"……maybe."

Gu Shenyan replied after a slight pause for two seconds.

Tie Shou could hear obvious uncertainty from this answer, and he could probably guess Gu Shenyan's mood at this moment.

Sometimes it is one thing to believe in the existence of something, but another to feel it when you experience it yourself. After all, it takes a period of relaxation before you can accept this transformation from virtual to real.

Lu Xiaofeng listened in a daze the whole time.

It feels like I understand it, but it seems that I don’t understand it.

What happened last night should refer to Jin Jiuling being struck by lightning, right?

According to what these two people mean, what kind of retribution is attributed to this matter?

...Don't you think it's ridiculous?

Forget about Brother Gu, he was born as a humane priest, so he believed in this at first, but what happened to the iron hand?As far as he knew, Tie Shou's attitude towards this kind of thing had always been disapproving.

Tie Shou said that he was shocked by the reason why Jin Jiuling was struck by lightning.

The world view was temporarily shaken.

Lu Xiaofeng and Tie Shou didn't stay with Gu Shenyan for too long.

After resting for a while, Tie Shou took the lead and set off back to the city.

Jin Jiuling's current situation is not easy to move, and he has to take a carriage. He has to go back and arrange it himself, and by the way, he has to give an explanation to the people from the six doors.

Lu Xiaofeng will then return to the city with the people who came to meet him.

When I sent everyone away, it was almost three o'clock, thinking that I was delayed this morning and didn't even practice swords, Gu Shenyan, who has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, couldn't sit still.

"Baozi, look at the store first, I'll go to practice swords nearby, and I'll be back in an hour."

"Well!"

"If a guest comes over early, you can let him wait first. If you don't want to wait, forget it."

Baozi: "..." That's fine, it really fits his boss's usual style of doing things.

The author has something to say: Thanks to: Tianyi Cthulhu, Orange Northern Lights, Beautiful ○ Ruoshi, Drunk Demon, Starry Sky, Nyx, Ah Jin is not Ah Jing, born at an untimely time, Mi Ye, Mo Chen, Zhu Jiuan, Zi Yueyi , Liu Qingxi, Fran Lanlan Lanlan, Chang'an Song, Iron Stone Wrapped with Silk, Ye Yanji—the nutrient solution for all the little angels.
