3. The talented man and the beautiful woman meet their opponents in chess (13)
Qiao Shoumin asked with a smile: "I heard that the Taoist priest came again yesterday? What kind of monster do you want to catch? I wonder how the capture went?"
Wang Chong smiled and said: "This man is quite pitiful, but he is not a Taoist priest who catches monsters. He just wants to get some money from the world. Seeing how pitiful he was, I took him in. Brother Qiao wanted to watch the fun, but he was disappointed. "
When Qiao Shoumin heard that this person was a liar, he immediately lost his interest and asked, "Do you have some free time today, Mr. Tang? How about we go out and have some fun? If you come to Yangzhou and don't go to the Land of Wind and Moon, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
Masters Zeng Xue and Wang Mengbai still had some consciences, and they said together: "Little brother Jingyu is so young, why should he go to a windy place? Today I and I are hosting, and we invite brother Qiao to drink wine, so little brother Jingyu doesn't have to went."
Wang Chong didn't want to see a romantic place. Qiao Shoumin tried to persuade him several times, but he flatly refused.
Teachers Zeng Xue and Wang Mengbai refused to cooperate. Qiao Shoumin could not persuade him, so in the end he had no choice but to leave in anger with the two former friends.
After seeing off Qiao Shoumin, his teacher Zeng Xue, and Wang Mengbai, Wang Chong practiced again for another afternoon in Xiaoyi Lianxing Tower.
In the evening, when he was preparing to have dinner, the Taoist priest brought the little girl over to say hello.
Wang Chong was really not a very curious child. Seeing that the two father and daughter were quite embarrassed, he did not ask any questions. He only asked the little fox Hu Su'er to prepare dinner and invited the two father and daughter to eat together.
The cook of Xu Qingyuan was hired by the third lady of the Cao family with a lot of money. His skills are very extraordinary, and his Huaiyang cuisine has been passed down by Dai Mulou, the famous chef in the world. If it were not for a wealthy family like the Cao family, an ordinary small family would definitely not be able to hire him. .
Cao Xuqing did not lack a cook at home. Thinking that "Tang Jingyu" came here alone and found such careful and diligent servants, he would be in a lot of trouble, so he kept most of them, including this one. A famous chef in Huaiyang.
Yesterday's banquet and today's breakfast and lunch were all made by this chef. The taste was authentic and the dishes were exquisite. Wang Chong liked them very much.
Yang cuisine pays great attention to knife skills, and the knife skills are relatively fine. It is especially famous for its melon carvings.
The dishes are exquisite in shape and mellow in taste; in cooking, they make good use of heat and pay attention to fire skills, and are good at stewing, stewing, simmering, stewing, steaming, roasting, and stir-frying; the raw materials are mostly aquatic products, focusing on freshness, mild taste, and freshness. And slightly sweet.
For dinner today, in order to please his new employer, the chef tried his best to cook four cold, eight hot and twelve dishes! There are only cold dishes, there is only one Huai'an tea dumpling, which is very special and crispy in the mouth. Hot dishes include stewed crab meat and lion's head, large boiled dried shreds, three sets of duck, long soft pocket fish, crystal meat, squirrel mandarin fish, and Liangxi crispy eel. ...all the delicacies of Huaiyang cuisine that are famous all over the world.
After all, the grown-up Taoist has entered middle age, and his temperament has become somewhat stable, but the skinny little girl's eyes are shining, she keeps holding up the chopsticks in her hands, and her little cheeks bulge as she eats.
Although this little girl is thin, she has a good appetite.
She cooked more than half of the dozen or so dishes by herself, and ate five large bowls of rice in a row. Her appetite was astonishing, and she was definitely not an ordinary little girl.
Although Wang Chong knew that this woman must be a little weird, he didn't care. He just smiled and accompanied the two father and daughter to have dinner. After all, he was a Qi refiner, so he didn't eat much. When the meal was finished, he asked the little fox to ask someone to clear it away.
The little girl was still a little reluctant to leave, burping and staring at the dishes, quite unfinished.
The elder Taoist silently waited for the servants of Xu Qingyuan to remove the food and wine and serve fragrant tea. After there were no more people waiting, he bowed and said, "My name is Yanbei. My daughter, Yan Jinling, is not a Taoist priest." , but a charlatan!"
Wang Chong smiled slightly and said: "I can also be regarded as a Jianghu person. Mr. Yan does not need to be so reserved!"
At this moment, the Dzi Bead in Wang Chong's body suddenly jumped, sending out a chill and exploding between his eyebrows, revealing four words - two bells!
Wang Chong was secretly surprised and thought to himself: "What do the two bells mean? Is it a reminder that the Dzi Beads are so solemn?"
Yan Beiren sighed and said: "I learned martial arts from a teacher when I was young. I wanted to do something earth-shattering, but because of an injustice, I had this child."
Wang Chong frowned slightly and asked, "Mrs. Ling..."
Yan Beiren smiled bitterly and said: "I can't say madam. After all, I can't tell the matchmaker and she can't stay with me for life. This baby's mother is not a human being, and she won't let me ask about her origin. Later. After giving birth to this child, she said that if she stayed with us again, there would be a big disaster and she couldn't bear to have this child involved. I always felt that we could survive as a family together. After we argued with her for a few days, she left a letter Feng, leave without saying goodbye.”
"Jin Ling was just like an ordinary child when she was young, but as she got older, she had a black aura and all kinds of supernatural powers. I didn't dare to go out in a prosperous place even if I took her with me. We have to be careful to avoid places, and we can only sleep in the wilderness. Even so, we are still worried. If we encounter some immortal master with profound Taoist skills, we must take action to slay demons, or if someone mistakenly thinks he is a monster. , I want to beat or kill, how can I just watch my daughter being killed?"
When Yan Beiren said this, he choked up a little, wiped his tears, and then said: "As a last resort, I changed into a Taoist costume and pretended to be a Taoist priest. I met Taoist masters several times and they fooled me. They only thought that I was stealing business, but I didn’t expect that I was trying to protect my children.”
Wang Chong did not expect that the people of Yanbei would encounter such a strange marriage and have such a descendant.
He thought to himself: "Although I don't know the origin of the two bells, I must be careful when performing the Dzi Bead reminder!" He stretched out his hand and pressed the little girl's forehead, and channeled a stream of Seventy-Two Form Refining Qi. .
This true energy circled around the little girl's body. Wang Chong found that his own true energy was quite similar to the strange energy in the little girl's body, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Yan Beiren was quite horrified at first, and was about to stop her, but saw the little girl's face softened, as if a cat was being petted by its owner, and purring, so he suppressed the impulse in his heart.
Wang Chong raised his finger and was quite surprised. He pondered slightly and thought to himself: "I wonder who her mother is, but she actually inherited such a weird and unparalleled bloodline? There is a strange aura in this little girl's body. This strange aura The aura of a corpse in her body is so strong that she is only half human, but a natural monster."
