Gu Xifeng and the others came to Tianshu Pavilion to look for Jiang Huaishi and Tang Jinge. When the soldiers entered Tianshu Pavilion to deliver the news, the three of them could only wait outside. The monkeys peeked at Gu Xifeng. Although Gu Xifeng kept smiling, he Monkey always felt that there was some haze in his eyes.
Soon, Jiang Huaishi and the others came out. There was a person following Jiang Huaishi and Tang Jinge. The appearance of this person was both unexpected and reasonable. He was Jiang Huaishu, Jiang Huaishi's younger brother.
Because they have been traveling all the time, Gu Xifeng and the others have not seen Jiang Huaishu for several years. Although when Jiang Huaishi joined the Tanlang Camp and left, they and Jiang Huaishu were no longer in a tit-for-tat state, but a few of them did not Even if they are considered friends, they will naturally not take the initiative to communicate with them.
Today's Jiang Huaishu is much more mature and steady. He has a handsome face with sharp edges and corners, a tall and well-proportioned figure, and a modest smile on his face. He is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.
"Xifeng, Monkey, do you have any objections if I bring Huai Shu with me?" Jiang Huaishi stepped forward and said.
Jiang Huaishu nodded to the two of them.
"We have long since resolved our conflicts, of course we have no objections." Gu Xifeng said with a smile, and then pulled Hu Zi to his side and continued: "I also want to bring someone with me here. This is Liu Ziling, who can be regarded as my younger brother."
"This younger brother is gentle and gentle. At first glance, he is not a rough guy like Tang Jinge. Welcome younger brother to celebrate the New Year with us." Jiang Huaishi stepped forward with a bright smile and touched Huzi's head.
Tang Jinge told Jiang Huaishi that his expression changed slightly, and he was a little dissatisfied, but thinking about Jiang Huaishi's aggressiveness, he still swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Huzi ducked back shyly and said, "Thank you, sister."
"Sister Huai Shi, do we really want to eat barbecue during the Chinese New Year? I think it would be good to eat at Xingchen Terrace." Monkey said tentatively, still thinking about the New Year's Eve dinner on Xingchen Terrace.
Hearing this, Jiang Huaishi stared at the monkey and said, "Didn't we agree yesterday? When will we not have the New Year's Eve dinner at Xingchen Terrace? This year we will have a different New Year."
"Okay, then where should we go to barbecue?" Monkey said as if he was resigned to his fate.
Jiang Huaishi thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Just next to the bluestone where we secretly drank. It's not far from Zaojun Pavilion, and it's convenient to find ingredients."
When the monkey heard this, he thought of the scene when he said goodbye to Jiang Huaishi. His face turned red and he unconsciously touched his forehead with his hand.
Jiang Huaishi suddenly turned his head behind him and said: "Let's divide the work, Xifeng, you first lead them to identify the place and then prepare the ingredients. I'll go find the wine, Monkey, you go get some fireworks."
Everyone agreed, Gu Xifeng took the people away, Monkey went to the Star Terrace, and Jiang Huaishi ran into Tianshu Pavilion.
Jiang Huaishi felt that everyone was gone, so he stopped and muttered: "Smelly monkey!" After that, he continued walking towards the depths of Tianshu Pavilion.
As evening approached, everyone gathered again beside the bluestone. All kinds of meats were placed on the bluestone, and a lot of fruits were placed on top. Gu Xifeng and the others piled firewood beside the bluestone, ready to light a fire at any time. Jiang Huai Shi He actually got four jars of Qianqiu wine, which was quite a big deal.
The monkey begged the disciple who was responsible for taking care of the fireworks on the Star Stage for a long time before finally asking for some leftover fireworks from the sect.
"Sister Huai Shi, please start lighting the barbecue. I haven't eaten lunch yet and I'm almost starving to death." Monkey begged, covering his growling stomach.
"Why don't you eat? Xifeng, have you eaten?" Jiang Huaishi asked in surprise.
Gu Xifeng and others nodded, but the monkey said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't we agree to have barbecue together?"
Jiang Huaishi looked at the monkey and smiled from ear to ear. He calmed down for a long time before saying: "The barbecue is the New Year's Eve dinner. You can't find something to eat by yourself for lunch."
The monkey angrily picked up a banana, opened it and was about to stuff it into his mouth. A golden figure flashed past. The banana in the monkey's hand disappeared. Not far away, a tall golden monkey He was happily eating bananas with a look of dismay on his face.
"Jinzi!" The monkey rushed towards his spiritual beast. Jinzi was not used to the monkey either. The two monkeys, one real and one fake, started to fight together, making everyone laugh.
It was getting dark. Tang Jinge and Jiang Huaishu took out the firewood and lit the firewood. The bonfire burned, lighting up the surrounding area.
Jiang Huaishi rolled up his sleeves and showed his forearms in winter without fear of the cold. He said eagerly: "Let me show you my hand!" After that, he went to get the meat from the bluestone.
Several people who were familiar with Jiang Huaishi looked at Tang Jinge with expressions of disbelief and questioning. Tang Jinge smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly. Everyone's expressions changed and they looked at Jiang Huaishi's actions in horror.
Only Liu Ziling didn't know why, so he obediently helped Jiang Huaishi. Jiang Huaishi looked at the young man very satisfied, nodded repeatedly, then turned to look at the people behind him and said dissatisfiedly: "Look at how sensible Ziling is. Look at you guys, you don’t even have the intention to take action, you’re just waiting to eat what’s ready, Huai Shu, why don’t you come over and help your second sister!”
Jiang Huaishu had no choice but to step forward to help.
After a while, Jiang Huaishi, with a dark face, held up two pieces of what looked like black charcoal and placed them on the bluestone. Behind him were Jiang Huaishu and Liu Ziling. Their faces were also a little dirty from the smoke, but they were in better condition than Jiang Huaishi. It was much better. Liu Ziling looked at Jiang Huaishi with a strange look.
"It's baked, come and eat." Jiang Huaishi called a few people over to eat meat, but no one came forward. Everyone looked at Jiang Huaishi and then at the two pieces pointed by Jiang Huaishi, and they all winked at others. .
"What are you looking at? Hurry up. Sister, I've been cooking for a long time and if no one eats it, don't blame me for being rude." Jiang Huaishi said arrogantly with his hands on his hips.
Still no one came forward, Jiang Huaishi pointed his finger at everyone and said: "Monkey, Tang Jinge, you two eat!"
The expressions on the two people's faces were so wonderful. They finally gritted their teeth and walked to the edge of the bluestone, one by one, and picked up Jiang Huaishi's "masterpiece". They looked at each other, and saw determination and resignation in each other's eyes. They closed their eyes and gritted their teeth. Go down.
"Ah!" The two of them screamed almost at the same time. They covered their throats with the other hand that was not holding the barbecue as if they were poisoned. Their bodies could not help but tremble, and their movements were uniform as if they had been rehearsed.
Jiang Huaishi frowned and took the black barbecue from the monkey's hand, and said angrily: "Is it that exaggerated?"
Then she took a bite on the other side of the monkey's mouth. At first she remained calm, but then her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly spit out the contents of her mouth, and even retched for a long time.
Now Jiang Huaishi never mentioned the barbecue again. Monkey and Tang Jinge looked at her with horror in their eyes. Even the very nervous Jiang Huaishi was a little embarrassed.
The job of barbecue chef naturally fell to Gu Xifeng. I dare not say anything else. He had learned the barbecue skills from Lu Zhengliang since he was a child, and he was like a god of cooking.
After simple processing of various meats, Gu Xifeng began to roast the meat on the bonfire. After a while, the alluring aroma wafted out, and Liu Ziling served the various roasted meats with full color and flavor on the bluestone.
Everyone was already greedy after smelling the smell, so naturally they were not polite and started to taste it one after another.
Everyone's tastes were immediately conquered by the delicious barbecue. JAC's eyes were full of little stars. The monkey covered his face and made a crying gesture and said, "Thank you West Wind for saving my life." After saying this, he did not forget to glance at JAC secretly.
This sight shocked the monkey. He actually saw Jiang Huaishi looking at him with an angry face. After a while, the monkey silently ate barbecue and drank wine. Without saying any more, there was an extra one on his head. Terrible bale.
Not only did Gu Xifeng's barbecue taste delicious, he was also very fast. In a short time, he had grilled many kinds of meat. He stopped and invited Liu Ziling to eat together.
They were eating and drinking, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Soon everyone was full and drank a lot of wine. Even Liu Ziling drank under everyone's instigation, but Jiang Huaishi seemed to have understood his own drinking capacity and stopped drinking after drinking to a certain level. So I wasn't drunk.
"Since we have to stay up late today and have nothing to do, I suggest that we compete." Jiang Huaishi rubbed his belly that didn't look bloated and stood up.
Tang Jinge stood up suddenly and said: "I agree with Huai Shi's proposal, but I have a suggestion. Huai Shi should not go out to compete while Huai Shi is judging."
"Agree." "Agree!" Everyone agreed. For the first time, Jiang Huaishi didn't object. He sat back and looked like he wanted to watch the fun.
"How to compete? Zi Ling is too young and would suffer too much in a fair duel." Gu Xifeng asked.
"Of course Zi Ling must be taken care of. No matter who confronts Zi Ling, he must suppress his realm." Jiang Huaishi believed Gu Xifeng's words and said forcefully.
This was naturally agreed by everyone. Tang Jinge stood up and said: "We can fight in pairs. The winner will fight the winner again, the loser will fight the loser, and the defeated person will fight against Ziling."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huaishu immediately stood up and said, "I want to fight Gu Xifeng."
"Huai Shu, what's going on? Your conflict is not over yet?" Jiang Huai Shi frowned and looked at Jiang Huai Shu and said.
"Sister, don't think too much. I had a fight with Xifeng during the sect trial, and it ended in me being defeated miserably. After so many years of hard training, I don't want to compete with Xifeng to see how big the gap is. "Jiang Huaishu said with a smile, without any intention of tit-for-tat.
"Okay, then Jiang Huaishu will face Gu Xifeng, and Tang Jinge will face Xiao Houzai." Jiang Huaishu announced.
Gu Xifeng and Jiang Huaishu walked to the open space aside at the same time. As they walked, Gu Xifeng joked loudly: "Monkey, I haven't heard your name for a long time. If Sister Huaishi hadn't remembered your name, even I would be faster." forgotten."
The monkey shouted to Gu Xifeng: "You are the only one who talks a lot, Jiang Huaishu, don't give me face, I'll beat him until his teeth are everywhere!"
Although it was a competition, the atmosphere was very relaxed. The two of them were ready to take action at any time.
