Jiuli Village is bustling with activity at this time.
After learning that Lu Qing was going to invite the whole village to dinner and cook spiritual rice, everyone was looking forward to it.
Most people in the village have seen Lu Qingzhong’s two acres of spiritual land behind the courtyard in the middle of the mountain.
I know that the spiritual valley growing in the two acres of spiritual field is growing very gratifyingly.
The ears of rice produced by Nalingdao were heavy and the best-growing rice they had ever seen.
So everyone is very curious about the taste of rice with such good quality.
The Lu family's courtyard is now filled with tables and chairs, and each set of tables and chairs looks different.
It was a makeshift structure that each family in the village moved from their own home.
This is how banquets are held in the countryside. Generally, one family holds the banquet, and every household contributes to help.
Lu Qing had an apron wrapped around her waist and was busy in front of the makeshift stove in the yard.
Since he is treating guests today, he naturally has to cook in person.
For cooking such a large pot of rice, the kitchen at home was a bit limited, so he simply built a simple stove outside.
At this time, Lu Qing was busy cutting meat.
On the simple chopping board, the knife flashed, and Lu Qing quickly cut large pieces of beef, mutton, and pork into chunks or thin slices.
Each piece of meat seemed to have been accurately measured with a ruler and was extremely even.
The people watching on the side looked straight.
It was now clear why Lu Qing refused when they wanted to help.
As for this sword skill, they would not be able to master it even if they practiced it for a lifetime.
Going up to help, I'm afraid it will only make things more difficult.
Ma Gu was also watching Lu Qing chopping vegetables.
However, unlike the villagers who were just watching the excitement, what he saw was the meaning of Lu Qing's sword technique.
As a strong swordsman who also understands the realm, Lu Qing's swordsmanship has already reached the point of perfection.
Even if you just use a kitchen knife to cut vegetables, the meaning of the knife skills revealed in it is enough to make Ma Gu fascinated.
While everyone was watching Lu Qing chopping vegetables, there was another movement outside the yard.
Soon, Xiaotian brought a few men in and picked out a lot of things.
"Lu Xiaolangjun, I have sent you the chickens, ducks and fish you asked for." Xiaotian said respectfully.
"Okay, let's put it there first." Lu Qing nodded.
"Then Mr. Lu Xiaolang, is there anything else you need to tell us?" Xiaotian asked.
"No more for now, by the way, Xiaotian, you guys will stay too, and have a quick meal by the way."
"This..."
Seeing Xiaotian's hesitation, Magu came from the side and tapped him on the head.
He glared and said: "I told you to stay, there is so much nonsense!"
This silly boy, does he know what a great opportunity it is to be able to stay and have such a meal.
Ma Gu, who knew the preciousness of spiritual rice, felt that iron could not turn into steel.
"I understand, Mr. Ma, then I will disturb Mr. Lu Xiaolang."
Xiaotian never dared to disobey Ma Gu's words, so he immediately shrank his head and responded in a low voice.
Lu Qing smiled: "It's just a casual meal, don't be nervous."
While Xiao Tianxia was looking for a place, other villagers finally found jobs they could do.
Go forward and take down the chickens, ducks, fish and other things that Xiaotian brought over and slaughter them.
They can't help Lu Qing with chopping vegetables, but they can still do the job of killing chickens and ducks.
With the concerted efforts of the villagers, it didn’t take long for the various ingredients to be almost ready.
Pats of slaughtered chickens, ducks and fish, as well as beef and mutton cut by Lu Qing, were placed there.
Before they even started cooking, the villagers started to swallow their saliva.
There is no other way. Jiuli Village has always been poor. Such big fish and meat are only available during the New Year and festivals, or when someone holds a banquet.
On weekdays, they rarely get to eat.
Lu Qing naturally knew that people in the village rarely had access to meat, so this time he asked Xiaotian to help buy a large amount of meat.
Seeing that the preparation of ingredients has been completed.
Next, it’s time to cook.
Because there are so many people, Lu Qing will not cook such exquisite dishes this time, just big pot dishes.
But he believes that with his ability and the various seasonings he has researched over the years.
Even if it is a big pot dish, it will not be unpalatable.
Soon, a large iron pot was set up. After the firewood was burning brightly enough, Lu Qing spooned a large piece of solidified lard into it.
There was a sting, the lard melted, and a scent of oil emerged.
After the oil was hot enough and the iron pot was thoroughly lubricated, Lu Qing put down another piece of sugar and fried it until the color turned out.
Put down a large plate of pork belly cubes that had been blanched in advance.
The sound of explosions was heard, and under the high temperature, the rich aroma of meat soon filled the entire yard.
The surrounding villagers who were helping could not help but twitch their noses.
Especially the little kids, they can’t help but drool.
There is no way, the smell of this meat is too tempting.
Smelling such a strong aroma of meat, everyone is even more looking forward to today’s banquet.
Lu Qing fried the meat until it was almost sugar-colored, then started to add water and various aniseed ingredients, and then let it simmer slowly.
He took advantage of this time to set up another pot and start cooking other dishes.
Just when Lu Qing was distracted and multitasking, cooking several pots of food at the same time.
The Wei Family Courtyard was in a state of surprise at this time.
"Ah Hai, what did you say, you found Zihao?"
Wei Xinghe looked at Manager Wei with surprise on his face.
Mrs. Wei was also so frightened that her body trembled.
"Uncle Hai, what you said is true, have you found my brother?" Wei Zian was also very surprised.
More than two months ago, news came from Jeju.
It was said that Qingyun Jiange had provoked some enemies and was uprooted overnight.
Not only were all the disciples of the sect wiped out, but even the mountain gate was burned clean.
Only a few disciples who were outside were left, and they luckily escaped.
After receiving the news, the Wei family was naturally very anxious.
Because the eldest young master in the mansion, Wei Zihao, is a disciple of Qingyun Jiange.
Wei Xinghe immediately ordered to search for the whereabouts of Wei Zihao with all his strength. He wanted to see the person alive and the corpse after death.
However, more than two months have passed, and they have not found any trace of Wei Zihao.
Even in Wei Shanhai, they all thought that Wei Zihao had died in the disaster at Qingyun Jiange.
Unexpectedly, Manager Wei brought news that Wei Zihao had been found.
"Yes, sir, madam, the spies we sent out two days ago saw the young master at the state capital. As soon as I received the news, I rushed over to inform you." Manager Wei said respectfully.
"Hao'er is in the state capital, so why doesn't he go home directly?" Wei Xinghe was confused.
"According to reports from the spies in the mansion, the eldest young master seems to be with several of his fellow disciples of Qingyun sword pavilion.
And their expressions are very panicked, as if they are avoiding and fearing something.
The spies don't know why, and they don't dare to show up at will to disturb the eldest young master.
They are just observing and protecting him in the dark."
"Haoer is afraid of avoiding someone?" Wei Xinghe reacted immediately, "Yes, Qingyun Jiange was destroyed overnight.
Until now, no one knows who did it.
Haoer must have done it. Because he knew something, or he was afraid of implicating his family.
Hence, he did not come back or contact his family, but hid in the state capital. 》
Hence, he was able to quietly destroy a powerful sect like Qingyun Jiange overnight.
The person who takes action must be an extremely powerful force or practitioner.
No matter which one it is, the Wei family cannot afford to offend him.
Perhaps it was out of this consideration that Wei Zihao kept hiding outside and did not escape back to the Wei family.
But how could Wei Xinghe watch helplessly as his son was in danger without caring.
Immediately, he said that he would go to the state capital to bring Wei Zihao back.
"Dad, wait a minute!"
However, at this moment, Wei Zian stopped his father with words.
"This matter is of great importance, we should consult young doctor Lu Qing first before making any plans."
Although he was also concerned about his brother's safety, after listening to Uncle Hai's words, Wei Zian instinctively felt a hint of danger.
Wei Zian would not despise his intuition.
In the past few months, the original energy of the world in his body has been completely integrated into his body.
It caused a radical change in his body.
Not only has his qualifications greatly increased, but his intuition has also become very keen.
Hence, after noticing the dangerous energy in the dark, he immediately did not dare to be careless.
"Can I ask Mr. Lu Xiaolang..." Wei Xinghe hesitated, "But today Mr. Lu Xiaolang is going to entertain the villagers of Jiuli Village.
I'm afraid they are busy at the moment. Wouldn't it be nice if we went to disturb them now?"
Wei Xinghe was in awe of Lu Qing.
Usually when I see Lu Qing, his attitude is quite reserved.
Far from the relationship between Wei Zian and Lu Qing.
"Young doctor Lu Qing won't mind." Wei Zian said, "Dad, the Qingyun Sword Sect was one of the most powerful sects in Jeju, but it was destroyed overnight.
The murderer must be an extremely terrifying person, more powerful than we imagined.
Dad, if you go to the state capital rashly, if you accidentally expose your identity, If the murderer finds out, what should we do?
So we have to think about this matter in the long term. It would be best to ask Dr. Lu and Senior Chen for their opinions first.
In Wei Zi'an's mind, the knowledge and strength of Lu Qing and the old doctor were extremely powerful.
So it is most appropriate to ask them for advice first if you have something to do.
It's just that I saw Wei Zian talking so eloquently.
Wei Xinghe and his wife, including Manager Wei, couldn't help but be stunned.
It seems a little unbelievable that what he said just now was something that the squeamish and naive young master could say.
"Master, An'er is right, we should discuss this matter with Mr. Lu Xiaolang and others."
Mrs. Wei also said at this time.
"Okay, just listen to An'er, I was impatient just now."
Wei Xinghe also understood, just now he was really concerned but he was confused, and An'er could not see clearly.
Thinking of this, he looked at his younger son with relief: "An'er, you have really grown up, and now you are more calm than your father when things happen."
Wei Zian blushed: "Thank you, dad, for the compliment. The child knows that dad is only concerned about the safety of his eldest brother, that's why he behaves like this."
Seeing him like this, Wei Xinghe's face became even more pleased.
At the same time, I felt extremely happy.
At the beginning, he agreed that his youngest son would go out with Lu Qing and the others for training. It was really one of the most correct choices he made in his life.
Seeing that Zian Zian has completely changed since he came back from his experience in Zhongzhou.
Not only has his cultivation level increased greatly, but he is now at the beginning of the internal organs and is not too far away from the realm of small success. He can be regarded as one of the few masters in the house.
Most importantly, my mind has become much more mature and calm, and I am now able to stand alone.
As for what he said to dissuade him just now, it would have been impossible for Zian to say it half a year ago.
"Zi'an, you are right, we should consult Mr. Lu Xiaolang and others about this matter first.
But today, Mr. Lu Xiaolang is hosting a banquet for guests, so we cannot displease him.
should want to ask him for advice.
"More than two months have passed, and there is no rush at this moment.
Since your brother chose to hide in the state capital, he obviously has some assessment of his own safety.
You were right before, if I rush to meet him, it might not be good.
Let’s go, Mr. Lu Xiaolang is hosting a banquet today and has invited us as well. It’s time to pass. "
When Wei Xinghe and others arrived at the Lu family, Lu Qing had almost finished cooking the dishes.
"Lu Xiaolangjun."
"Master Wei, you are here, sit down first, we will start the banquet soon.
Xiaoyan, take Master Wei and others to the master." Lu Qing shouted.
Then he saw Xiaoyan running out of the house: "Auntie, let's go into the house. Grandpa Chen and Grandpa Wei are both inside."
"Ancestor is here too?"
Wei Xinghe was a little surprised.
Ever since Wei Shanhai received the immortal cultivation inheritance given to him by Lu Qing, he rarely appeared at home.
Often the dragon appears but not its tail, either going to a small courtyard in the middle of the mountain, or not knowing where to go to cultivate immortality.
Even Wei Xinghe rarely sees him.
Unexpectedly, he would be free to come and have a meal today.
But this is also a good thing. Thinking of Wei Zihao's matter and the presence of his ancestors, Wei Xinghe felt more at ease.
At least, after the banquet is over, he won't be able to find his ancestors.
When Wei Xinghe and others entered the room, Lu Qing also started to officially start cooking.
He first opened the lid of the pot where the meat had been simmering.
Suddenly, an extremely rich aroma of meat emanated from the pot and quickly filled the entire yard.
"It smells so good!"
For a time, the people in the whole yard couldn't help but sniff.
All eyes were focused on Lu Qing.
Then they saw Lu Qing shoveling out large bowls of red meat from the large iron pot, and then the villagers in charge of serving the dishes delivered them to various tables.
When the piece of meat was placed on the table, it was trembling, extremely elastic, and full of oil.
Even people like Wei Xinghe who are used to seeing delicious food and eating big fish and meat suddenly felt a little greedy when they saw it.
