"I wonder what this little brother wants from me?"
Just when Li Zhengyi decided to speak frankly and directly about the purpose of coming here, Wen Cai was the first to say: "Oh, Master, let's finish eating before we talk, otherwise the food will get cold."
…
Seeing Uncle Jiu's speechless look, Li Zhengyi really wanted to laugh. After all, it must be a very shameful thing to always suffer because of his apprentice.
Uncle Jiu is a respected and virtuous man in front of outsiders, but when facing his precious apprentice, his incompetent and angry look is really laughable.
Fortunately, someone had a very strong tolerance and endured it.
"Then please invite little brother to sit down and eat together. Wencai's cooking is very good."
At Uncle Jiu's invitation, Li Zhengyi sat on the right side of the table, but his eyes were fixed on Wencai opposite.
She was afraid that he would reveal that this meal was specially made to entertain her. If Uncle Jiu was offended, it was still a question whether he could leave Yizhuang tonight.
"Brother Xiao Li, let's eat chicken. This chicken was just killed today."
After sitting down, Wen Cai greeted Li Zhengyi, and then he started eating by himself, constantly picking up the bowl with chopsticks.
He didn't even glance at the empty bowl in front of his master.
"Cough, cough!"
Even after hearing Uncle Jiu's cough, he just asked with an innocent face: "Master, what's wrong with you? Did you eat too much greasy food yesterday? You can just eat more fried bamboo shoots."
Looking at the big fish and meat on the other plates, Uncle Jiu felt really miserable.
Originally, I wanted to remind my apprentice with a cough, so that he could earn some face for himself in front of outsiders.
But not only did he fail to do so, he lost his face and was stepped on by his good apprentice.
Even Li Zhengyi was a little surprised. In this short period of time, Wen Cai had already frustrated his master several times.
Obviously in the movie, Uncle Jiu is very strict in managing his two apprentices, but why is it that even though he is in his twenties, he still looks like he is still young?
Could it be that Uncle Jiu looks majestic, but is actually a tender person?
These two apprentices are also tight on the outside and loose on the inside. They are very strict when they are outside, but they are more pampered at home?
Or maybe this guy Wen Cai did it on purpose to get revenge on Uncle Jiu for not taking him with him when he went to the town to eat and drink?
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, it’s useless to think about it.
And this kind of opportunity just happened to be taken advantage of by someone, and he could show his cleverness and sensibleness a little.
I saw Li Zhengyi quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and promptly filled Uncle Jiu's bowl with more than half a bowl of rice.
"No, no...thank you, little brother."
Finally, the young man was sensible and did not let his old face be completely disgraced.
After thanking Li Zhengyi with a very friendly smile, Uncle Jiu picked up his chopsticks to eat.
As the old saying goes, you eat without talking and sleep without talking.
Older people like Uncle Jiu pay more attention to these things, but when he took the rice into his mouth, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, widened his eyes and looked at the rice grains in the bowl carefully.
He glared at his good apprentice with the look of a prodigal without any trace, then smiled at Li Zhengyi beside him, and then started eating the food with big mouthfuls.
After serving the meal to Uncle Jiu, Li Zhengyi was not too polite and also ate the delicious-looking meal in front of him.
Since he had agreed to stay for dinner, he was not too nervous even though Uncle Jiu had returned.
Do the etiquette things you should do well, and as for the rest, just do them openly.
If you always look restrained and unable to let go, you may leave the impression that you are not useful to others.
Um?
After picking up the food with chopsticks and putting the food into his mouth, Li Zhengyi's eyes became brighter.
The food cooked by Wen Cai was really delicious, and he couldn't help but move his index finger.
Especially the white-cut chicken that Wen Cai specially mentioned has smooth and tender meat and excellent taste. It feels very delicious when you eat it.
For a moment, there was no sound except the sound of eating in the hall of Yi Zhuang.
It didn't take long for all the food to be eaten, and not a drop of the soup was left.
When Fang Wencai went to clear away the dishes, Li Zhengyi and Uncle Jiu couldn't help but look at each other, quite solemnly.
One thinks that the other person, who is not young but is still so good at eating, is indeed an expert.
The other person thought that the other party had such a big appetite at such a young age, and it turned out to be...
"Little brother, why did you come to me? Please tell me."
After eating, drinking, and taking a short break with a cup of tea, Uncle Jiu asked Li Zhengyi again the purpose of his visit.
Looking at the sky outside, the sun had already set and it was going to be dark soon. Li Zhengyi did not mince words and expressed his thoughts without any concealment.
"Since Uncle Jiu asked, I will tell the truth."
"I am a member of the town's security team. I feel that protecting the people requires strong strength. I heard that Uncle Jiu is a very powerful Taoist, so I came here to visit and want to learn some skills."
After hearing what Li Zhengyi said, a trace of surprise flashed across Uncle Jiu's face. He didn't expect that this young man came to become a disciple.
Wencai, who was standing next to him, was equally surprised, but in this matter, he rarely intervened.
But the expression on his face was very excited, as if he was yearning for a junior brother like Li Zhengyi.
Uncle Jiu pretended not to notice his apprentice's constant glances.
He stared at Li Zhengyi without saying a word, and after thinking for a while, he said something, which shocked the two young people next to him at the same time.
"Little brother, have you killed someone before?"
Wencai, who looked happy just now, suddenly became confused and confused. He still believed in his master's vision.
Brother Li in front of me looks a few years younger than him. He always speaks honestly, is kind, and very polite.
But I didn't expect that I had killed someone. It was...too much, right?
Faced with Uncle Jiu's sudden question, Li Zhengyi was also a little surprised. After so long, the other party could still see it at a glance.
Because he was unprepared, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this time, I heard Uncle Jiu say again: "Although I saw that little brother you have evil spirits in you as soon as you entered the door, I also saw that your heaven is full and the earth is round."
"My eyebrows are smooth and my eyes are clear and bright. I don't look like a bad person. In addition, I have an aura of justice in my body, and I am even less likely to do something vicious. That's why I didn't single out you and drive you away."
"Now that I hear you say that you are from the security team, little brother, I understand why you have murderous intent."
"But you should have guns in your hands, why do you still want to learn from a Taoist like me?"
