After a while, the three jars of thyme were all empty. As soon as the fourth jar was filled, the boy came upstairs with a tray.
The dishes on the tray were covered with jade, so it was impossible to see what they looked like, making them look quite mysterious.
It wasn't until he got to the table and in full view of everyone that the boy slowly took off the jade cover. What appeared in front of everyone was a one-legged red bird flying with wings spread!
It's just that this bird has no feathers, but all other parts are still there.
It is said that this bird has been stewed and should not be able to stand upright. I don't know what method was used. What is displayed in front of people is a lifelike shape of a flying bird. Not to mention how it tastes, the cooking skills alone are great. Amazing.
"Dear guests, this is our restaurant's signature dish, the red-ringed one-legged bird. Please try it!" The young waiter introduced it to everyone present and then bowed and left.
"Fourth brother, you try it first." Tiger said excitedly.
"As guests do, elders are respected. It's better for third brother to taste it first." Zhou Yang waved his hand.
"You can eat whatever you want, how come there are so many rules?" Tiger glared.
"Well, I believe you have already tasted this delicious food. Captain Pu, Sister Xing'er, let's try it too!"
Facing the red bird spreading its wings and about to fly, Xing'er couldn't bear to touch it as if she was appreciating a top-quality magic weapon. After hearing what Zhou Yang said, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Pu Zheng also had a great appetite, but he didn't take action first.
Seeing that the two of them were not moving, Zhou Yang had no choice but to stretch out his chopsticks and pinch the bird's head first, because he was afraid that if he pinched elsewhere first, the bird would not be able to stand.
The head of the one-legged bird is not big. Zhou Yang easily took off part of it, looked at it carefully, and then gently put it into his mouth. At first, it felt crispy and smooth, but then it was refreshing, and a warm air flowed down his throat. When you go down, your whole body will feel extremely comfortable!
"It's delicious, it's really the most delicious thing in the world!" Zhou Yang was full of praise after eating it.
Pu Zheng and Xing'er also used their chopsticks, and then they enjoyed it very much.
Seeing the expressions of the three people, the tiger laughed and called for everyone to start eating.
Good wine and good food, good friends, brotherly love, drinking and drinking together for a while, you come and I go, everyone is enjoying eating and drinking.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, everyone started to talk about what happened after they arrived in Dingbei.
It turned out that more than a month ago, after learning that Zhou Yang and Sima Ling'er would be recuperating in Anping for a while, Tiehu Puzheng and others insisted on going to Xingshantang to visit. However, after Liu Menglong's dissuasion, they decided to send one person from each side to visit. look.
Because only Tiehu was familiar with Song Laosan, he had to lead everyone to Dingbeicheng to join him.
Under the escort of Liu Menglong, Tiehu and others passed through the teleportation array and successfully reached Dingbeicheng.
The two brothers Erhu and Huhu had already led people to wait in Nancheng. After learning that Zhou Yang had encountered some troubles, Song Laosan wanted to go to Anping in person, but was persuaded by Tiehu, saying that Zhou Yang was not in danger and asked him to make arrangements first. A crowd of people.
Song Laosan had no choice but to follow Tie Hu's advice and led everyone back to his hometown, Sanhuju.
Tiehu felt that it was pointless to stay like this all the time, so he went to Song Laosan and made it clear that he could not live and eat in vain, but had to do something. The third brother discussed with his two elder brothers and finally formed a team of ten people including Tiehu according to the Tianxing Sect's establishment. The thirty-sixth among the three brothers' team was called the Thirty-sixth Team.
Among the teams, Hu Zhiran had the highest level of cultivation. In the late stage of Lingtai, he naturally became the captain. Tie Hu and Zhong Ming served as deputy captains. They also designated a street and the thirty-sixth team was responsible for maintaining order.
Originally, with the initial strength of Iron Tiger Lingtai, even the vice-captain couldn't do it. Because in addition to Zhong Ming, Lin Cheng, Bai Meng, Wu Chang'an, Wang Dahai, Liu Wen and others are also in the middle stage of Lingtai, so he can't get his turn no matter what.
However, Tie Hu had a special status. He was the only one besides Zhou Yang who could talk to the three tigers of the Song family, so he was appointed as the vice captain.
At first, Team 36 was not familiar with this area, and there had been several conflicts. However, Hu Zhiran was very capable and led Team 36 to resolve them one by one without asking Tiger and others for help.
Song Dahu saw this and couldn't help but nodded secretly.
After more than a month of hard work, Team Thirty-Six has established a firm foothold in this area and has a good relationship with the residents and businesses on the street. Not only that, on the agreed date, merchants and stall owners also took the initiative to pay various fees.
After listening to everyone's stories, Zhou Yang nodded and praised Hu Zhiran very much.
It happened that all members of Team Thirty-Six were present, and now three more members had joined. Hu Zhiran proposed that Zhou Yang be the captain.
During the battle at Lingtian, he saw with his own eyes that Zhou Yang's strength was definitely no less than that of a peak cultivator at Lingtian, and he sincerely abdicated his position to make way for someone more powerful.
Zhou Yang waved his hands repeatedly and refused.
Of course he is self-aware. Although he has managed Yangtian Pavilion, most of the time was taken care of by Mo Chenglong. Naturally, he is not good at how to manage an area.
Moreover, I still have a lot of things to do. I don’t know when I will be able to figure out the Six Paths of Returning Yang Formation alone. Naturally, the fewer worldly things, the better.
Several people were drinking and discussing when the door of the room was pushed open. The owner of the restaurant came into the room first, bowed to everyone and said: "Everyone, Deacon Song is here!"
After saying that, he bowed down again and turned to look at the door.
At this time, two more people walked in from outside the door. The first one looked somewhat similar to Tiger. He was tall, handsome, and had a powerful aura. He was obviously a Tianyuan master.
The man who followed him looked the same as a tiger. He was also tall and thick, and black and translucent. If you didn't know the details, it would be easy to mistake them for each other.
Pu Zheng and Xing'er didn't know these two people, but when Zhou Yang saw them, he immediately stood up and left the table to greet them. Everyone also stood up, including Pu Zheng and Xing'er.
"Big brother, second brother!"
"Haha, fourth brother, you came out after being asked for so many times, why did you arrive more than a month late?" Song Dahu laughed.
Erhu, however, came up like the third child and punched Zhou Yang.
"Haha, something has been delayed. I would like to congratulate my eldest brother for his rapid improvement in cultivation and promotion!" Zhou Yang dodged the two tigers' blow and congratulated him with cupped fists.
"Haha, we are all happy together! Fourth brother, hurry up and take your seat, everyone should sit down too."
Zhou Yang let Dahu and Erhu take the first seat. The restaurant owner had already added two more chairs. Everyone gave way and sat down one after another.
Zhou Yang took the initiative to toast Dahu and Erhu three times, firstly to meet again, secondly to thank them for taking them in, and thirdly to take care of everyone in the future.
Song Dahu said with a straight face: "From now on, everyone here will be brothers. Don't you think that you are treating me as an outsider?"
"Big Brother's words are serious. My younger brother has everything decided by Big Brother."
Song Dahu smiled and drank a few drinks with Zhou Yang and everyone. Then he whispered a few words to Zhou Yang, greeted everyone, and stood up to leave.
Zhou Yang sent him outside the door before returning.
After all, Song Dahu was a cultivator of Tianyuan. With him sitting here, everyone couldn't let go, so they left first out of curiosity.
As soon as Dahu left, the second and third brothers greeted each other and drank with everyone, making the scene even more lively.
Zhou Yang, Pu Zheng and others drank a lot of wine. Later, you offered me three drinks, and I gave you six drinks. Twenty jars of Bailihong were really not enough. It didn’t take long before they bottomed out, and ended up with two more drinks. Ten altars are enough to give up.
It took more than two hours for everyone to finish the meal before they dispersed.
Erhu and Laohu obviously drank a lot. They came downstairs and didn't even ask about the checkout. They just asked everyone to leave.
Zhou Yang was a little speechless, once or twice is enough, but eating and drinking for free all the time is definitely not a problem.
Seeing the two brothers walking out drunk, he went to the counter to pay the bill, but was told that he had already paid.
Zhou Yang was stunned. No one among the dozen or so people at this table had ever left the private room. Who could have tied the knot?
No, Brother Song had been here before and left first. He should have settled the bill. Zhou Yang nodded secretly. This eldest brother was quite sensible and not as overbearing as the second and third brothers.
The closer you are to your own territory, the more you need to maintain a good image and reputation. Firstly, it is easy to rule, and secondly, you can have cohesion in case of trouble.
This is the same as the principle of managing subordinates. Only by giving both kindness and power and clear rewards and punishments can the superiors and subordinates be united and form a strong fighting force.
Song Dahu obviously knew this well. He was worthy of being the eldest brother who commanded hundreds or even thousands of people. It was no wonder that he was promoted to the position of deacon of Tianxing Sect.
Back at Team 36's residence, Hu Zhiran had already arranged a room for him. The interior furnishings were pretty good, but unfortunately there was no earth fire, so he couldn't make elixirs.
As soon as the door opened, it was Tie Hu who entered his room. He laughed twice. His big black face was red and his body was shaking a little. He was obviously drunk.
"Senior brother, why are you so happy?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Little, little Yangzi, you are stupid! Why, why are you not the captain?" Tiehu said, smelling of alcohol.
"Senior brother, do you think I'm qualified to be the captain?" Zhou Yang smiled bitterly.
"Lao Hu, Lao Hu is quite capable, but he, but he is an outsider after all. Team Thirty-Six must be in our own hands, uh, to do that!"
"Senior brother, let's have a cup of tea to sober up." Zhou Yang really didn't want to be the captain, but he couldn't say anything.
"What kind of tea are you drinking? What do you think?" Tiehu asked dissatisfied.
"I really don't have the time to manage Team Thirty-Six, nor do I have the talent. Think about it, just refining elixirs takes a lot of time. Without elixirs, what will you and I do if we still have to worry about the difficulties and other people's cultivation? Which one is more important, senior brother can always see clearly!"
In desperation, Zhou Yang had no choice but to bring up the matter of the elixir.
"This..." After hearing that it might delay his cultivation, Tiehu stopped talking.
He is a real beneficiary of the Fire Spirit Pill and the Huang Spirit Pill. Without the Fire Spirit Pill, he would not be able to break through to the Lingtai Realm. Without the Huang Lingdan, how could he break through to the second level of the Lingtai Realm so quickly!
"Okay, senior brother, you and I can still have a long road to cultivation. How can we be fascinated by a mere bit of power? It is the right thing to concentrate on improving our cultivation. Besides, Lao Hu does have talents in this area. Under his leadership, Team Thirty-Six will definitely achieve something.”
"Okay, hey, you are reasonable anytime!" Tiehu muttered, turned around and left.
"Hey, senior brother, don't leave yet, I still have something to say!" Zhou Yang hurriedly stopped him.
