Chapter 555 The guest comes (

The Jiang family’s head, Ji’s head, and others know a thing or two about the ancient sect. From the name of the Xuan family’s head, “Thousands of Sect Masters”, we know that the immortal Taoist is The helmsman of the Lotus Authentic Sect and all the family heads were frightened again. The Penglai Island Master returned to the mortal world, and the Lotus Authentic Sect leader left the mountain. Is there any reason they didn’t know?

Because they were afraid of shocking the Chao family master, everyone He did not go to Penglai Xiandao and the Lotus Sect Master to pay tribute. They all expressed their respect for their predecessors by standing up.

Another wave of guests came outside, including Tang Yansong, the young master of the Tang Sect, and Tang Sect’s first disciple. An elder; and envoys from the Emei Sect, Qingcheng Sect, and Wudang Sect. The Emei Sect envoy is an old nun about fifty years old; Qingcheng and Wudang are all middle-aged Taoist priests.

Then there are the Baiyun Temple envoys Arriving, Baiyun Temple is one of the orthodox Confucian and Taoist schools. The envoy is a handsome young man with outstanding grace. Although he is not as beautiful as the young master of the Xuan family, he has the elegant beauty of the spring breeze and white clouds.

The envoys of Longhu Mountain, the leader of the Youdao Sect, and the envoys of the Huashan Sect of the Quanzhen Taoism; later, disciples of the ancient tomb sect in Qin, Wu Forgotten Self, watched the ceremony on behalf of the head; There are also two envoys from Baodaowan Island Sanqing Dao and three envoys from Mazu Dao;

There are also envoys from the Yu family and the Li family, the descendant of the ancient martial art Mantis Boxing; Chen family Tai Chi The messenger of the Chen family; the messenger of the Luo family, the successor of Plum Blossom Spear; the messenger of the Liang family, the successor of Wing Chun; the messenger of the Wang family, the successor of Baguazhang; the messenger of the Shi family, the successor of Taihang Xingyiquan;

Chinese martial arts has a long history, and there are many fist techniques and palm techniques. There are also many families who inherit martial arts and boxing techniques. If each ancient martial arts family sends an envoy to Beijing, they will have to occupy at least four tables. Fortunately, there are inheritors of ancient martial arts techniques from all over the world. Only a few families sent envoys to Beijing.

Later, Zhongli Yunling, the old head of the Zhongli family of the ancient Xiu Guwu family, arrived with his son Zhongli Jing. Zhongli Jing is the contemporary head of the Zhongli family. He is also the brother of the old man Zhong Liyu;

There are also Lu Chengshan, the young leader of the Lu family who is a loose cultivator, Feng Zhengqing, the current head of the Fufeng family, and his young grandson Fengyi; Hao Yu, the elder of the Zhenghua sect; and two envoys of the Lihua sect. People;

A little later were Duanmu Songzi, the leader of the Tianji Sect of the Xuanmen Sect, and his disciple Ao He; Wu Xingxia, the leader of the Wu Sect, led one of his disciples; one was the Envoy of the Hai Sect; and the one from the Zen Sect came from above Master Xingyun of Shan Qingxiu, the master is over ninety years old, with a man as thick as snow.

The last ones to arrive were the Tantai family and the Yu family. The head of the Tantai family brought his two grandchildren, and the Yu family was the head of the family. Yu Wangjiang brought the next young master Yu Jun and a personal guard.

In this way, all the ancient cultivators and ancient martial arts families who had notified the Xuan family that they were going to the capital were also present, and several people from Hua Shao were also present. The hall helps.

There are only a few visitorsThe representatives are one or two people, and most of them are more than two people. There are more than forty waves of people, more than 120 people, plus Jiang Shao and other young people who volunteered to help. Xuanjia even dispatched ten people The younger generation works as handymen, and there are more than 160 people in Jianghu sect.

The original plan was to have twenty-two tables, and the Chao family prepared two more tables of meals, so even if there were more than a hundred people, they would not be afraid of having nowhere to sit.

Every family and sect is here to send congratulations, not to reminisce about the past, so the guests sit as they wish, on a first-come, first-served basis, until the table is full, and people who have not known each other before sit together. Sitting at the table, it is rare to chat in a low voice and get acquainted.

Old Mrs. Chao and Mr. Chao were accompanying the Penglai Immortal Lord at the table. Of course, the thing they talked about the most with the guests was the little pink dumplings at home. They said they love to get into the kitchen. They always come back to Chao’s house. Pour some food and wait.

Each family sent handsome guests, and Xuan Shao, who was responsible for receiving name cards and congratulatory gifts, was so happy that they could hardly close their mouths. There were piles of gifts from the guests. The little beauty must have seen them when she came back. will be happy.

Of course, the Chao family did not treat the guests who brought gifts badly. The tea served was herbal tea prepared by the most precious girl of the Chao family. It was originally intended for the elders of the Chao family to drink. The Chao family used it to entertain guests.

The herbal tea has a refreshing and mellow aroma. It is light at first and then sweet in the mouth, with endless aftertaste. More importantly, about a quarter of an hour after drinking the tea, it seems that the lead dust has been washed away, and I feel refreshed and bright. .

The young people in charge of tea perform their duties. Whenever a guest sits at a table, they will first serve a cup of tea, and then a pot of tea, fruits and dried fruits and melon seeds, which the guests can drink by themselves.

The guests came one after another, and it took an hour from the first to the last, which was almost eleven o'clock. The martial arts and ancient martial arts sects usually arrive at eleven o'clock. Lunch is eaten between half and one o'clock, but not after noon. The Chao family also makes preparations in advance and sets meal time after half past eleven.

After sorting out the gifts, Mr. Xuan went to the kitchen first. Seeing that everything was ready, he happily returned to the hall and ordered the young man to remove the fruit plate and dried fruit plate first.

A group of young people acted as waiters in an orderly manner, taking away the dried fruit plates, placing them all on the table in the other corner of the hall, covering them with gauze, and then serving wine and bottles of rice wine to the guests. , chopsticks and bowls.

Because they tasted the good tea, everyone was looking forward to the host’s lunch, secretly guessing whether there would be legendary medicinal food.

After the drinks were served, the young people followed Mr. , some young people helped pour wine.

The young people carried the rice to the living room and lined it up in a row in the tea place. They were all rice steamed in wooden barrels.meal.

Butler Hu and the chefs handed the meals to the young people, who carried a portion of the meal out the side door and went up to the second floor to eat and rest.

Three middle-aged couples of the Chao family, with their two children and young people, carried the rice back to the hall. Chao Shengguo greeted the guests with clasped fists: "The distinguished guests come from all over the world and make the humble house shine. The Chao family just We have prepared a simple meal, but if there is any rudeness, please feel free to give it to me and treat your distinguished guests to a meal."

The three noble ladies and girls were blessed, and the men all bowed to express their apology.

　"Where is it?"

　"The master is very polite."

Everyone responded hurriedly, waiting for the master to take his seat.

The head of the Xuan family took his seat before the banquet was about to begin. The brothers of the Chao family took their wives and children to sit at a table where their parents sat. The only guests at that table were Penglai Immortal Master and Qian Sect Master. The other guests knew they were not qualified enough. , I don’t have the nerve to take a seat shamelessly.

Mr. Xuan and the young masters sat at the same table, the beautiful boy and Miss Chao Er also sat at the same table with the young masters, and the young men working as handymen in various industries also sat at the table one by one.

Three couples from the Chao family came to the table. Mr. Chao and his wife stood up, raised their glasses and looked around: "The young man and his wife have little knowledge, and they are not good at entertaining guests. I and my wife will do it first. Out of respect, distinguished guests, please feel free to do as you please."

The young and old of the Chao family drank the red wine in one gulp, made a gesture of inviting them to a meal, and stopped talking.

The host opened the banquet with wine, and everyone raised their glasses and took a sip, no longer hesitating or holding chopsticks to eat.

The Chao family’s lunch consists of six dishes and one soup, six dishes, three meat dishes and three vegetarian dishes. No matter where you sit, there will be both vegetarian and meat dishes at every table, and there will be no embarrassing scene of not being able to eat chopsticks.

What interests everyone the most is the "gossip" revealed by the young people in advance about the two medicinal dishes made by the little girl with a special formula: braised pork and preserved eggs with preserved pineapple.

The preserved eggs are golden in color and very beautiful, and the chef is very good at cutting the eggs into pieces and stacking them into towers; the preserved eggs made by the little girl are also true to their name, not only have the appearance of The pattern is like pine bark, and it also exudes an elegant pine scent.

Chicken is a meat dish, and eggs can actually be said to be vegetarian. Therefore, the vegetarian monks did not have any taboos and tasted them with great anticipation. After tasting a piece, they happily took the food again. Medicinal Diet Not only did it live up to their expectations, it could even be said to be even better than their expectations.

After eating the medicated food, everyone secretly sighed. Sure enough, we came to the right place!

After the banquet started, Mr. Jiang changed his habit of not eating meat, secretly rubbed the braised pork and took two bites. Well, it was the braised pork made with the little beauty’s special recipe. The taste was delicious. Miss you.

Mr. Xuan and Mr. Jiang couldn’t help but taste the preserved eggs.I am jealous of the Chao family. The young and old of the Chao family are too happy. The little beauty always makes medicinal meals for them to eat. Can they ask how many preserved eggs the Chao family has and can they take some away?

Penglai Immortal Master and Lianhua Zhengsong are ancient sects that do not avoid meat and vegetables. The two sect leader figures are full of immortality and seem to be indifferent to the world. However, they are very fond of lunch. I was so excited that I tasted every dish, and my favorite was preserved eggs.

The head of the Xuan family, the head of the Jiang family, and others did not pretend to be polite and ate happily.

Because there are two medicinal dishes, and the other dishes are also cooked in an improved way after the chef consulted the little girl, the taste is not bad, and the guests eat the meal happily.

The young men who helped with the chores were the first to finish their meal. They were full and full of energy. When the guests finished their meal, they removed the plates and bowls because the portions were appropriate and practitioners pay attention to economy. To be simple, eat only a little bit of the dish to show that the portion is sufficient. If all the dishes are empty, the host will think that the preparation is not enough, and he will feel rude and embarrassed.

After the meal, there was another herbal tea to strengthen the stomach and digestion. The guests felt that this was a rare opportunity, so they all drank a few more cups of tea before leaving. The monks sat there for half an hour and bothered the host for half a day. Say farewell to the master.

Mr. Chao did not stay in vain and saw the distinguished guests out of the courtyard.

None of the monks’ vehicles left. They were all parked on the roadside in the villa area without disturbing others. They formed a convoy and filed into the gate of Chao Erye’s villa to pick them up one by one. Members of my own family or sect, including several members of the Guwu family, rented cars, and the car owners and drivers also followed other vehicles according to the lessor's wishes before picking up the lessee.

A group of monks quietly went to Chao's house to give the little girl a hairpin gift, and returned home in a happy mood. They left in a clean and elegant manner, waving their sleeves and not taking away a single cloud.

Seeing that the vehicles seeing off the distinguished guests were no longer visible, Mrs. Chao relaxed her tense nerves and wiped her forehead: "I feel that this half day is more tiring than my whole day of lectures."< br />
Mr. Xuan and others also returned with their families, and there were no guests around. Chao Sheng'an also wiped away his sweat: "Mom, you and Dad quickly go upstairs to rest, and leave the other things to me. "

"Yes." Mr. Chao and his wife nodded and went upstairs. They had been worried for a long time. They were very tired and really needed to rest.

Little fairies, a certain guy is going back to the countryside to spend the New Year with his parents today. He is not expected to return until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. I wish you all a happy Spring Festival in advance!
