Chapter 14 On the Ship
Weicheng is located in the Qinchuan River of the Great Zhou Dynasty, thousands of miles away from Kunlun Mountain, and half a Qingzhou and one Longzhou are separated by.
On the fifth day after the New Year ceremony, fourteen inner disciples, led by a deacon and an elder, set out towards Qinzhou and went to Weicheng to participate in the Qianlong Martial Arts Discussion.
Those who accompanied him were ten outer disciples who temporarily served as attendants of inner disciples. The reason why they were ten outer disciples was because some inner disciples did not ask for attendants, such as Xin Zi'an.
A faint cool mist rose on the river surface in the early morning, floating slowly and hazy. A three-story boat appeared and loomed in it, as if passing through a fairyland.
Yan Xin sat on the deck of the bow, holding a fishing rod in his hand. Suddenly, the fishing rod tightened, and Yan Xin pulled it suddenly, and the fishing rod was pulled into a crescent shape.
A fish with unknown name, as the fish line jumped out of the water, the silver scales sparkled under the rising sun. Yan Xin carefully recycled the line, and the fish hung on the line and struggled to death. In the end, Yan Xin held it in his hand, took off the hook from his mouth, and threw it into the fish basket.
At this time, there were already five or six fish in the fish basket. Yan Xin saw that he had a good harvest, so he collected the fishing rod.
Beside him, a portable small stove was lit, and an iron pot was installed on the stove, and the heat had already begun to float out. Yan Xin took the ingredients locally, processed the fish scales and internal organs, and put them in the iron pot to boil.
...
A week after the New Year Ceremony, Yan Xin, who had been struggling, chose to act as Tang Mi's temporary attendant and headed to Weicheng together.
First, you can see the charm of young talents in various schools, and second, you can find your golden fingers.
Yan Xin asked about it. Although Weicheng is not a county town in Qinzhou, as a satellite city that protects the capital of Dazhou, Weicheng also has the existence of Shangqing Pavilion.
The immortal furnace still had no response, so Yan Xin could only try it according to reasoning.
Everyone set out from Kunlun and took a carriage to Ningdu, Qingzhou for two days. They changed into a private building boat from Kunlun at Ningdu Wharf, and then headed eastward through Longzhou to the Wei River in Qinzhou.
...
After the fish soup was boiled for two quarters of an hour, Yan Xin opened the lid of the pot, and a cloud of mist blew over her face with the fragrance. The soup rolling in the pot had turned milky white.
Yan Xin put the chopped green onion, ginger slices, and dogwood, sprinkled fine salt, poured a little rice wine, covered it with lid and continued to boil it for half a quarter of an hour before the task was completed.
After extinguishing the stove, Yan Xin went to the cabin kitchen to receive breakfast, then carried an iron pot and a food box for breakfast, and came to the room where Senior Brother Tang Mi was on the second floor, and knocked on the door of Senior Brother Xin along the way.
This Kunlun Sect’s private building ship has two floors under the deck, where the owner and crew live inside, and there are three floors on the deck, and each floor has sixteen rooms. The outer disciples live on the first floor, the inner disciples live on the second floor, and the entire third floor only live on the deacon Su Guangsu and the elder Chu Suibo Chu.
The boat is huge, so each room is very spacious. In addition to a bed and close to the window, there is also a small round table for six people and six stools.
Yan Xin had just put down the things on the round table, and Senior Brother Tang Mi and Senior Brother Xin had already sat on the stool and looked at the iron pot with their eyes.
The reason why the two of them looked like this has to start with the start.
Two days ago, everyone was riding in a carriage. Because the journey was long, the whole journey was fast and the road was almost rushing. There was basically no stop. When they were thirsty, they drank the water prepared on the carriage and ate dry food when they were hungry. So after getting on the boat last night, Yan Xin asked the owner to borrow a fishing rod, dropped a few fish, and cooked a pot of fish soup. Several people were by the window of the room, drinking soup while watching the moon and eating fish. Only then did they feel that their taste buds finally returned.
Therefore, early in the morning, Senior Brother Tang Mi urged Yan Xin to catch fish and make soup.
Yan Xin first took out the steamed buns and pickled cabbage strips in the food box one by one, and then put them on the iron pot with an impatient expression. Suddenly, accompanied by a large ball of hot air, a strong fragrance filled the entire room.
When Yan Xin served good soup, the three of them were about to start.
"Dang thump"
A knock on the door suddenly rang.
"Okay, Tang Mi, others hide their beauty in the golden house, but you hide their delicious food in the golden house." Li Huaijiu, the inner disciple of the opposite room, pushed the door and muttered: "At least, we four of us share the hardships together for two days. Can't you be rich and honored with me? You don't even share such delicious food with me!"
In the first two days, Li Huaijiu, who could sit in four people in each carriage, was alone without a servant, and he got a carriage with the three.
Li Huaijiu talks a lot. No matter if others like to pay attention to it, they always have endless things to say. They don’t have the airs of inner disciples or senior brothers, so they are familiar with the three.
"Are you a dog's nose?" Tang Mi laughed and said, "You can smell the fragrance even after two doors!"
"I'm not a spirit-sniffing dog, and I'm not apart from two doors, of course I can't smell the fragrance!" Li Huaijiu didn't see him, and sat down on his own, serving a bowl of fish soup for himself, while continuing: "But by chance, I was going to the deck this morning to exercise my muscles and bones, but I found that Junior Brother Yan was fishing there, and there was a stove and a pot next to him." "Who am I? I immediately took a scruple and stopped punching, and kept hiding in the hatch to peek. Hehe, as I expected, it seems that I'm still a lucky person!"
The three of them rolled their eyes at the same time when they heard this. You are the senior brother here! You hid that morning just to peep at an outer disciple to cook, what would you say!
Yan Xin said with a giggle and laughter: "Senior Brother Li, I was going to call you after serving the soup. Didn't you notice four bowls on the table? There were four pairs of chopsticks!"
"Uh...haha, I just said why there were still a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table, it turned out to be prepared for me." Li Huaijiu smiled awkwardly, and then immediately said with a shameless face: "What does this mean? This means that we have a little bit of understanding!"
"This is not called a psychic relationship, it's just because someone is voyeuristic." Tang Mi continued to laugh, "Tell you the truth, we had already drunk fish soup and ate meat with Qingfeng and Mingyue last night!"
"Okay, Yan Xin!" Li Huaijiu pretended not to hear what Tang Mi said in front of him, but just grabbed the part behind, deliberately made an exaggerated expression of anger, and shouted at Yan Xin, "I just said that I was going to call me, but I did such a thing on my back last night! Do you still have me as a senior brother in your heart? When you arrive at the inner sect, do you still want my senior brother to protect you!"
Although Yan Xin knew that Li Huaijiu was not really angry, he still explained, "I only caught three fish last night, and Ye was already afraid of disturbing his senior brother's sleep, so he did not disturb his senior brother."
"Okay, I forgive you!" Li Huaijiu said without sincerity, "But Yan Xin, you must remember that as long as there is something delicious, don't be afraid of disturbing me no matter when you are there! Do you understand?"
"Will you disturb you when you are out?" Tang Mi pushed back without hesitation.
"you……"
"Okay! Eat!"
Xin Zian, who was beside him, suddenly spoke.
He had no interest in making noise with them, and was only worried that the fish soup in the bowl would cool down.
"The fish soup will smell fishy when it is cold, and it will be bad!"
Three inner disciples, if they have the qualifications in the Kunlun Sect, Xin Zi'an is not as good as Tang Mi, and they are from the Kunlun Sect as soon as they were born. And if they have entered the inner Sect, Xin Zi'an is not as good as Li Huaijiu. This is Li Huaijiu's third year in the inner Sect. However, due to their personality, the few people are together, but Xin Zi'an has a more leader temperament.
