Chapter 226 Siming Mountain

Li Xin went home drunk again. Fortunately, Steward Li was with him, so he arranged for his master properly. Not drunk.

The members of the Li family returned to Li Xin's residence, drank the hangover soup Xiaochun sent, washed up a bit, and went to bed early to rest.

The next morning, Li Yan and Jiang Shi both woke up quite late, but Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing woke up early, boxing and exercising in the yard, and they didn't see their parents get up until they finished a set of boxing.

"Mother, look, I didn't sleep in late today." Li Mei'er asked Jiang for credit.

"Well, Mei Meier keeps her word, mother is very happy." Jiang patted Li Meier's head, approving very gratifiedly.

"Then where are we going to play today?" Li Meier asked enthusiastically.

"Wait for your uncle to come over, he said to take us out to play today." Jiang said with a smile.

After several people had eaten breakfast, Jiang Youzhi came.Seeing him, Mrs. Jiang asked, "Have you had breakfast? Do you want some more?"

"I've eaten. I ate a lot at the small restaurant where you were sitting last time. My stomach is still full." Jiang Youzhi patted his stomach and said.

"Could it be that Sister Ah He served too much food for you little uncle, which made you full?" Li Meier joked with her mouth covered.

Jiang Youzhi immediately reached out and touched her forehead, pretending to be angry and said: "Stinky girl, you are getting worse and worse, even my uncle dares to make fun of you, be careful I won't take you out to play today."

Li Meier immediately showed a smile, and said in a very doggy manner: "Oh, little uncle, you misunderstood me. I was praising your charm. I didn't mean to make fun of you." Then he immediately asked, "Little uncle, what are we going to do today?" Where are you going to play?"

Jiang Youzhi hugged Li Meier on his lap, and replied with a smile: "Go to Siming Mountain for fun. The scenery of Siming Mountain is pretty good. The weather is not too cold or hot at the moment, so climbing is just right."

"Okay! Okay! Mountain climbing is my favorite!" As long as she went out to play, no matter where she went, Li Meier was very happy.

"By the way, I remember that Qingfeng Academy seems to be on Siming Mountain. Would you like to stop by to see A Yi?" Li Yan suddenly remembered something and said.

"I just took a look when I went, I heard that Qingfeng Academy is very strict, except for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the New Year's Eve when you go home for a rest, you are not allowed to go home at other times.

Thinking that Zhou Muyi had been away from home for several months, she must be very homesick. If I knew it earlier, I would have asked Mrs. Zhou's family what she wanted to bring to Ah Yi. "Ms. Jiang said with some self-blame. Since Zhou Hanju went to the capital with Jiang Yanzhi, her relationship with the Zhou family has become a little weaker, but she has neglected her relatives a little bit.

"It's okay, let's bring the news of Ah Yi to the in-laws, and they will be happy to come." Seeing Jiang's guilt, Li Yan quickly comforted her.

Since Siming Mountain was a bit far away, they didn't delay, borrowed a carriage from Li Xin's family, and went there.

After walking for an hour on the road, we arrived at the foot of Siming Mountain.It's autumn now, and the red maples on Siming Mountain are like pieces of fire, which is very magnificent. Because Siming Mountain has [-] mu of red maples, it is also known as the hometown of red maples.

Several members of the Li family slowly climbed up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, and saw the mountain peaks lined up with pleasant scenery.In the meantime, springs, waterfalls and pools are all over the place, and dangerous cliffs can be seen everywhere.

"Further up is the Siming Cave, which is rumored to be the ninth of the 36 Taoist caves." Jiang Youzhi walked in the front and introduced to the Li family.

"Then there used to be immortals here?" Li Meier asked curiously.

Jiang Youzhi said with a mysterious smile: "The 36 caves and the 72 blessed places are all places for immortals to live and relax. The world thinks that the realm of the sky is full of auspiciousness and blessings, and they are full of admiration. Taoist monks like to live in secluded mountains and forests, so many Choose a place where there are fairy tales and legends, and build a palace, hoping to enjoy the celestial wind and the Taoist garden. Over the past dynasties, there have been many famous Taoist couples here, but now there are more pilgrims."

"Then there really was a god." Li Meier said with some longing, wondering if it was the gods here that made her live another life.

"Mei Meier thinks that if there is something, then there is something, and you can go to that cave to enjoy the fairy spirit later." Jiang Youzhi said with a smile without breaking the little girl's beautiful fantasy.

Li Meier looked at the Siming Mountain Cave, but she was not as fairy-like as she thought, but the scenery was a little better, which made her a little disappointed, thinking that the place where the gods live is just like that.

After passing through the Four Gates, the group arrived at Siming Mountain Town. Qingfeng Academy was built on a mountain near this town.

"Let's rest in the town first, have lunch, and then go to the academy to find Ah Yi after we finish our meal," Jiang Youzhi said to several people.Everyone is a little tired, so naturally there is no objection.

This Siming Mountain Town is not big, after all, it is a small town built on the mountain, and there are only a few restaurants in total. Jiang Youzhi chose the largest and cleanest one, and went in with a few people to eat.

Although this restaurant is not big, it also has a lot of special dishes. According to the introduction of the shop waiter, Jiang ordered the signature wild vegetable fish ball soup and tile chicken, as well as two home-cooked dried vegetables and braised pork and taro stew.For dim sum, I ordered Siming Cherry Blossom Crisp, Golden Pumpkin Cake, Wine Fragrant Rice Steamed Bun, and Deep Mountain Ai Qing Dumpling, which are four special dim sum dishes.Just hearing the names of these snacks, Li Meier was about to salivate.

Because there are not many people eating at this moment, the dishes are served very quickly. The first ones are tiled chicken and wild vegetable fish ball soup. There is a whole crock pot filled with chopped chicken. The chicken has obviously been stewed for a long time. As soon as the chopsticks are picked up, it is already the weight of flesh and blood. It is fresh and tender in the mouth, and it is very delicious.

The wild vegetable and fish ball soup looks very light. It is just a few green wild vegetables, plus five fish balls, and some goji berries for decoration. The soup is very clear, but it is very delicious when you drink it. The fish balls are white and tender. With water chestnuts, it has a crunchy texture.

The other two home-cooked dishes are quite satisfactory, not amazing.

With the dishes, Li Meier ate two big bowls of rice and patted her swollen belly, feeling quite unsatisfied.

Jiang Shanqing couldn't help but glanced at her protruding belly, and was really worried about the girl's future figure. If she could eat like this, she would really become a fat man.

"Mei Meier, you eat so much, can you still eat some snacks later?" Jiang Youzhi looked at his niece amusedly and asked.

"Of course I can eat it. I have two different stomachs for salty and sweet food, and they don't interfere with each other." Li Meier replied seriously.In an instant, everyone laughed again.
