Chapter 162 Catfish!

Kiss the softest mouth, hug the thickest legs.

Bandit Tang didn't know who had the softest mouth, but he knew that Xuanyuan Mingjing had the thickest legs in this academy.

Hearing that Xuanyuan Mingjing asked him to offer him a cup of tea, Tang Bandit didn't understand what it meant, so he knelt down with a plop.

Hesitating for a second is disrespectful to the thigh.

Xuanyuan Mingjing didn't hold back, he drank the tea offered by Bandit Tang in one gulp, and said, "Okay, from today onwards, the master-student status is considered settled."

"Thank you, Master." Bandit Tang said excitedly.

Si Yinchuan cupped his hands towards Xuanyuan Mingjing, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the dean for his beloved disciple, this must be celebrated well."

Xuanyuan Mingjing pointed to the box of grape worms on the table, and said, "Didn't Xinglan catch a box of worms? Let him deep-fry the wine later."

"Oh, this is a good thing. If I can have another bowl of peach blossom wine brewed by the dean himself, it will really make people alive." Si Yinchuan looked at the box of small white meat worms, as if I saw the most precious delicacy in the world.

He had guessed before that the dean's attitude was loose, and he was afraid that he had the idea of ​​accepting this apprentice.

So he also gave Tang bandit a favor along the way, and now that things are developing as he thought, then his favor is right and valuable.

If you can become a disciple of Xuanyuan Mirror, your achievements will be limitless in the future
Bandit Tang is a bold and careful person with a thick skin. If he says things that others can't say and does things that others dare not do, he may really succeed in the future.

Needless to say, Shen Xinglan has outstanding strength, and with the backing of the Shen family, he is not surprised even if he can be the lord of the country
"Peach Blossom Wine is enough." Xuanyuan Mingjing said proudly.

Shen Xinglan also came over, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Master, for accepting another excellent apprentice. Master will not accept an apprentice easily. This is a great happy event, and we should celebrate it well."

Looking at Bandit Tang again, he said, "From today onwards, we are brothers and sisters."

Bandit Tang stood up and saluted Shen Xinglan, saying, "Thank you, brother, for your kindness."

Bandit Tang felt that he couldn't understand Shen Xinglan. He should like Fenghuang, and he also knew his relationship with Fenghuang.

However, he did help him during the martial arts competition just now.

If he hadn't swallowed all his sword energy with his fist energy, the power of that sword might have cut the vines in Xuanyuan Mingjing's yard into countless pieces
If Xuanyuan Mingjing didn't intervene.

But, he just did it.

It's as if the two of you have discussed it in advance...

Moreover, after the big assessment at the First Military Academy of the Empire ended, he could obviously tell lies and say some strange things in front of Xuanyuan Mingjing
Bandit Tang had only been in Bailu Academy for less than half a day, and he had already deeply experienced the prestige of Xuanyuan Mingjing in this academy.

It can be said that he can decide all matters, big or small, with one word, and both teachers and students regard him as a god.

However, Bandits Tang entered the school smoothly.

Was Xuanyuan Mingjing not asking for his opinion?Or is it that Shen Xinglan is really an upright gentleman, without a single bad word?

Bandit Tang knew that he couldn't do this by himself.

If he had a grudge against Shen Xinglan, he would try his best to stop him, let alone give him the opportunity to worship his master as his teacher
Brothers and sisters of the same father and mother still compete for favor with each other, how could he allow others to take advantage of his teacher's kindness?
He needs that damn security.

"It's really because the power of my brother's sword is too amazing." Shen Xinglan said indifferently, not willing to accept the favor of the bandit Tang.

"I will ask my senior brother to teach me more in the future."

"If you don't dare to teach, brothers and sisters in the same school should ask each other for help and improve together."

"Brother, please."

"Junior brother is too polite."

Shen Xinglan looked at Xuanyuan Mingjing and said, "Master, it's getting late, so I'll make some appetizers for you and President Si?"

"Okay." Xuanyuan Mingjing nodded, and said, "Ice two more bottles of peach blossom wine, and you brothers will drink some later."

"Yes, Master." Shen Xinglan agreed, picked up the grape worms on the table and went to work in the kitchen.

"Master, can I help?" Bandit Tang said aloud.

He is a junior junior, so these things should be done by him.

Besides, his cooking skills are also good, and Shen Xinglan can't let Shen Xinglan finish all the flattering by himself.
"Go." Xuanyuan Mingjing nodded and stuffed another grape into his mouth.

Walking into the kitchen, I saw Shen Xinglan pouring oil into the pot wearing an apron.

Family members, who knows?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have imagined that Shen Xinglan, the direct descendant of the Shen family, the head of the nine major families of the Phoenix Empire, is said to be the core figure most likely to become the next head of the family, and now he is like an ordinary housewife. Go around the cooking table in circles.

Bandit Tang walked over and said with a smile, "Brother, is there anything I can do for you?"

Shen Xinglan glanced at Bandit Tang, but was not polite to him, and asked, "Have you cooked before?"

"I've done it before. On the old soil, I cook all the dishes. I just don't know your habits of eating or not."

"Then I'll try your cooking tonight." Shen Xinglan said with a smile, "I'll use this pot to fry grape worms, and I'll leave the rest of the dishes to you. There are vegetables and meat in the refrigerator, and you can take whatever you can."

"No problem." Bandit Tang said.

Bandit Tang went to the refrigerator to rummage for a while, and there were a lot of melons, fruits and meat ingredients.

It was his first time cooking for Master, so he naturally wanted to impress him.After pondering over Xuanyuan Mingjing's character and getting a general idea of ​​what his tastes are, he started to get busy.

Soon, a few fresh stir-fried dishes came out.

Bandit Tang made a dish of tiger skin pepper, a dish of tender bamboo shoots and wild beef, a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a dish of stir-fried snow mountain indigo.

I made another pot of pheasant and wild vegetable soup. The pheasant is fat, and there is a layer of butter floating on the soup.Open the lid of the pot, the aroma is tangy.

Coupled with the deep-fried grape worms made by Shen Xinglan, the stone table was full.

Bandit Tang opened the iced peach blossom wine and poured a cup in front of everyone.

Xuanyuan Mingjing picked up the wine glass and said, "I respect the moonlight tonight. A good night is when there is moon and wine."

Others also picked up their wine glasses and echoed, "Tonight's moonlight."

Bandit Tang originally thought that the pink name of Taohua Niang must be fruit wine, but he didn't expect it to be a high-strength wine.

After drinking a cup, it is cold and spicy. The two feelings are hostile to each other, but there is a wonderful unity.

Tang Bandit grinned his teeth while drinking, but the others were as happy as ever.

Si Yinchuan drank a glass of wine, and before Tang Bandit helped him pour the wine, he was already busy pouring himself a glass, and then drank it in one gulp again.

Only then did he close his eyes and let out a breath of foul air, and shouted: "Happy."

Xuanyuan Mingjing picked up the chopsticks and said aloud: "I heard that most of the dishes tonight are made by bandits from the Tang Dynasty. Come and try them all."

I put a piece of tiger skin pepper into my mouth, chewed it carefully, nodded, and praised: "Not bad. The skin is thick, the oil temperature is just right, spicy and sweet, and the taste is unique."

He took another piece of bison meat and put it in his mouth. After tasting it for a while, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "This dish is even better. It retains the fat of the snow cow, making it extremely fresh and tender."

Xuanyuan Mingjing picked up the wine glass and said aloud: "This glass is a tribute to Tang Bandit, welcome him to join our big family."

"It's rare for me to see the dean complimenting others. Bandit Tang should have a good drink." Si Yinchuan joked with a smile.

Shen Xinglan also picked up the wine glass, and said with an aggrieved face: "It seems that I can't keep my position as the chef? From now on, I can only help Brother Tang Bandit?"

"Senior brother's deep-fried grape worms are also very delicious. This is the first time I have eaten this dish. It is crispy and delicious, and it is suitable for drinking."

When they drank the bowl of pheasant and wild vegetable soup, everyone stopped talking, and only heard the sound of burying their heads in the soup.

"Tonight, this bowl of soup is the best." Xuanyuan Mingjing put down his wine glass and said, "After drinking this bowl of soup, you can't drink any more. You can't let the strong wine wash away the aroma of the soup."

But Si Yinchuan poured himself another cup, and said, "Just for this bowl of soup, I have to drink two more cups. It's been a long time since I had such a delicious soup. It seems that we will have a good fortune in the future."

Shen Xinglan looked at Tang Bandit and said, "After eating the dishes made by my junior brother, I realized that my cooking skills are limited to the word "eatable", and my junior brother is the real chef."

"Don't dare to dare. I will try my best to learn what my master, senior brother, and dean of the department want to eat in the future." Tang Bandit said modestly.

He knew that the few side dishes and the pot of chicken soup that he carefully prepared had been a success.

What about that old saying?If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first fix their stomach.

He knew that he had already captured the heart of Yinchuan Shen Xinglan of Xuanyuan Mirror
"You brothers and sisters, don't be modest, each has his own strengths and strengths." Si Yinchuan said with a smile, he looked at Xuanyuan Mingjing enviously, and said: "The dean has taken in two good apprentices."

"Dean Si likes it, come over for dinner anytime." Xuanyuan Mingjing invited.

"That's natural. Even if the dean doesn't invite me, I will come here with the cheek."

After a meal, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Tang Bandit and Shen Xinglan cleaned up the kitchen together, and then Tang Bandit said goodbye and left.

Xuanyuan Mingjing looked at Bandit Tang and said, "Take a good rest today, and come to my side to report tomorrow morning."

"Yes, master." Bandit Tang agreed.

Si Yinchuan drank a lot of wine at night, his face flushed red, but he didn't see any drunkenness. He got up and said, "I'll send Bandit Tang back to rest. I'm afraid the other students' residences have already been settled. If I don't see you off, I'm afraid you don't even know where you're going to live tonight."

"I'm sorry for the dean of the department." Bandit Tang said gratefully.

"Why are you being polite? You should." Si Yinchuan smiled and waved his hands.

When Bandit Tang and Si Yinchuan left, Xuanyuan Mingjing drank tea from a small teapot and asked, "Do you know why I recruited this disciple?"

"Understood." Shen Xinglan said aloud.

"The Luowei people like to eat a kind of fish called sardines. The price of live fish in the market is much higher than that of dead fish, so fishermen always try their best to find ways to bring live fish back to Hong Kong."

"Despite all efforts, most of the sardines will suffocate and die halfway. Later, someone put a catfish with sardines as the main food in the fish tank containing sardines.

"The sardines saw the catfish hiding around, so the problem of hypoxia was solved, and most of them returned to the fishing port alive and kicking."

Xuanyuan Mingjing looked at Shen Xinglan, and said aloud, "Your family background is very good, you have a good background, you can get what you want, and you can get what you want."

"In addition to being gifted and intelligent, from the moment of birth, there are all kinds of nourishing things from heaven and earth to nourish the bones, strengthen the foundation and cultivate qi. At the age of three, he received the guidance of a famous teacher, and at the age of seven, he could feel the qi of yin and yang."

"Later, I was invited by me to enter the Bailu Academy. The wind went smoothly and the auspicious stars shine brightly in this world. There is almost nothing that can embarrass you."

"This is very good. It will allow you not to be disturbed by the mortal world and the burden of life, and you can concentrate on practicing and breaking through the realm. You are invincible in the field of cultivation, and you have broken many records in succession. This is why you benefit from it."

"However, there is also a fatal problem. It is not enough to talk about life without experiencing life and death. How can we see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?"

"Cultivation, the first step is difficult, every step is difficult, and every step is even more difficult. The head of the department bet that you can enter the master realm before the age of 30, I don't think so."

"This has nothing to do with your talent and hard work, but that you have no life, no experience, no life experience, no experience of life and death, no understanding of human feelings, no love, no hatred in your heart, no prayer, how can you become a master territory?"

"So, Master found me a catfish?" Shen Xinglan asked aloud.

"That's right." Xuanyuan Mingjing didn't deny it, and said aloud, "Have you noticed that there are many things in him that you don't?"

"I found it." Shen Xinglan said aloud: "A strong desire to survive and an undisguised ambition."

"Yes. There is also the courage to be the first and the wisdom to be good at calculating." Xuanyuan Mingjing looked at Shen Xinglan and said, "Everything you have is brought to you by others. The food you like, you like The clothes I wear, even including my master"

"You are too proud, you think all this is nothing more than that. You don't want to fight, you don't bother to fight..."

"However, he is different. He knows very well in his heart that if he wants something, he has to do his best to fight for it, fight hard, even desperately."

"Why did he dare to stand up and say that he wants me to be his instructor? Because he knows that if he doesn't say it, there will be no chance."

"Why did he dare to disobey my order, and would rather cut my vine into sap than win you? It's because he knows that if he doesn't let me see his strength, he might miss this hard-won victory again." Chance"

"Of course, I think you also understand this, so you are willing to admit defeat and swallow his sword energy with your fist strength."

"Yes." Shen Xinglan nodded and admitted, and said: "When Master invited him to enter the Grape Courtyard, I already understood Master's intention. Master wanted to give me a catfish, and I also need this catfish. So, I am willing." Complete him."

"When a man is angry, blood splatters five steps. When an emperor is angry, he must be heroic and courageous, and he must have blood on his head."

"People who practice martial arts should not compete with the world and lack hostility. This is not a good thing. They have to fight, fight for fame, fight for profit, and fight for the number one in the world."

"I hope that after he comes, you can figure out what you really want. If you want to be born, you must first join the world. If you don't join the world, how will you be born?"

"It just so happens that he has a medicine on his body that can cure your affliction."

"What medicine?"

"Arrogance."

"."

"Go ahead and make good use of this catfish." Xuanyuan Mingjing said aloud.

"Yes, Master." Shen Xinglan prostrated himself on the ground, and said emotionally, "This disciple will definitely do his best to live up to Master's painstaking efforts."

"I hope you can win." Xuanyuan Mingjing took a sip of tea and lay comfortably on the rattan chair, and said, "Otherwise, you will become that catfish."

"."

Shen Xinglan, who was lying on the ground, was shocked.
