Chapter 454: Fine Wine Paired with Delicious Dishes

One wanted to order Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, one wanted to order roasted whole ox, looking at this pair of dog.......... golden boy and jade girl standing together, Zhao Zhengping et al suddenly felt these two guys were quite a match, ah.

Rou Mei, do you think my junior brother and your junior sister are................

Hmm, indeed quite a match.

Right, why don't you play matchmaker? It could also be considered getting rid of a harm for the people.

If there's a chance, I'll chat with the junior sister.

As Fàn diǎn arrived, everyone eagerly rushed into the canteen; Xu Jie, Zhong Ling and the others, although they already had the qualification to order dishes, the big pot dish couldn't be wasted, ah.

Still, each person filled a large bowl to the brim, and only then did they come to Ye Zhangqing's side.

Hehe, Zhangqing junior brother, Senior Brother came to order dishes, just come with a Buddha............

Wait a moment.

What's wrong?

Order according to the menu.

Didn't even let Xu Jie finish speaking, damn, as soon as the word 'Buddha' came out, Ye Zhangqing knew what dish he wanted to order.

Still Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, do you know how troublesome making one Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is?

Threw the already-prepared menu in front of Xu Jie, picked it up and took a look.

Junior brother, you this............

There are too many people; if everyone orders Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, we can't make it, so just order from the menu.

There aren't many dishes on the menu, just over ten varieties, and they're all simple, easy-to-make home-cooked dishes.

Hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, Xu Jie felt a bit displeased but still nodded in agreement, then ordered a dish of fish-flavored shredded pork.

Immediately, Zhao Zhengping and the others also went up one after another to order dishes, each ordering one, with a mix of meat and vegetable.

They were all home-cooked dishes, not troublesome, and soon Ye Zhangqing had them ready.

Looking at the big table surrounded by people, filled with dishes, the many surrounding disciples were all extremely envious.

These are all special dishes, ah; in an instant, the food in the bowls lost its fragrance.

That Senior Brother, may I have a taste?

A Divine Sword Peak disciple couldn't help but step forward; hearing this, Zhao Zhengping refused without hesitation.

No.

Third Senior Brother, you see, you previously owed me a hundred spirit stones; why not................

I'll give it to you.

Third Senior Brother, last time we went to Yiyuan City, the money for listening to music at the Gōulán................

Wait till we get back, I'll get you a top courtesan.

In order to taste even a bite of the special dish, the disciples all brought out their past favors.

Unfortunately, they were all ruthlessly rejected by Zhao Zhengping and the others.

Joking aside, what kind of favor could possibly match this table of food, ah?

Even, a female disciple whom Wanxiang had previously pursued spoke up.

Senior Brother Wanxiang, you hadn't previously wanted to be with me................

Drunken talk.

You said you would always wait for me.

You believe drunken talk?

Senior Brother, give me a taste, I................

No need.

In the front courtyard, the disciples stared longingly at Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie and the others as they ate with great relish, wanting to have a bite but having no opportunity; they could only secretly vow in their hearts to persevere, slay more demons and beasts, and enjoy a special meal.

Having fine food, how could there be no fine wine? Zhao Zhengping directly brought out two jars of fine wine.

Eh, this isn't the master's................

Shh, I secretly took it when I was tidying the master's room yesterday.

Xu Jie immediately saw the origin of this wine; Zhao Zhengping quickly signaled him to keep quiet.

This is the master's treasured fine wine; normally he cherishes it to an extreme degree.

Seeing this, Xu Jie instantly understood Zhao Zhengping's meaning, smiling and nodding; Senior Brother is fine, people are becoming more open-minded, isn't this path suddenly widened?

Fine wine paired with delicious dishes, everyone ate to their heart's content.

In the rear courtyard, Yu Mo, Jiang Shan and the other elders likewise gathered together; at the same time, Hong Zun, Qi Xiong and the others also had special meals.

When making food for Zhao Zhengping and the others earlier, Ye Zhangqing casually made an extra portion; anyway, one portion is a copy, two portions are also a copy, no difference.

Haha, Qing Shi, go fetch my treasured good wine.

Finally getting to eat the special meal, Hong Zun was in a good mood and immediately told Qing Shi to go fetch the wine from his room.

I'll go.

However, before Qing Shi could respond, Wang Tieshu voluntarily stood up; setting aside his appearance, this guy is indeed a virtuous wife and good mother.

He came back quickly, but his hands were empty; seeing this, Hong Zun raised his eyebrows.

Where's the wine?

There isn't any, ah.

Nonsense, I placed it in my room.

Really there isn't any, ah; I looked, and only found this.

The treasured fine wine wasn't found, but quite a bit of ordinary wine was; however, what day is today, can such low-grade wine pair with the special meal?

Yesterday I clearly remembered there were still two jars left, ah.

Just as Hong Zun was suspicious, the front yard happened to transmit the sound of Zhao Zhengping and the others drinking; in an instant, Hong Zun seemed to think of something.

He flashed over to the front yard.

At that moment, Zhao Zhengping and the others were drinking when a faint, eerie voice suddenly came from beside them.

"Yo, you're drinking."

"Yeah, we're drinking."

"Is it good?"

"Just kidding, this is........... huh???"

At first they didn't react; when the words were halfway out, Xu Jie and the others turned to see Hong Zun standing grim-faced at the table's edge, not knowing when he had arrived.

To an old drunkard like him, a single sniff was enough to know that what Zhao Zhengping and the others were drinking now was his treasured wine aged for years!

"Mas.......... Shīzūn has come, ah."

"Hehe, come see how your drink is."

"I....... we............"

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word; finally Xu Jie directly picked up the wine jar.

"It's all in the wine."

Then, with a thump-thump-thump, he gulped it down; seeing this, others followed suit.

"It's all in the dishes."

One person picked up a plate and in a few moves poured it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Hong Zun's mouth twitched; without a word, he gave each of them a kick, and Zhao Zhengping and the others shot up like rockets, straight into the sky.

"A bunch of rebellious disciples, you've pissed this old man to death."

Carrying the remaining half a jar of fine wine, he cursed as he went back to the backyard, daring to steal even Shīzūn's wine, and especially the best of it.

Watching helplessly as Xu Jie and the others had drunk more than half of it, Hong Zun's heart bled.

A bunch of little brats, what the hell do they know about wine? They just take my fine wine and waste it.

Isn't this like an ox chewing on peonies?

He angrily poured himself a cup, while Qi Xiong beside him deliberately pushed the cup toward Hong Zun, but after a while, this old thing showed no reaction.

"What are you standing there for? Pour the wine, ah."

"Forget it, you guys drink that."

"What are you saying? You drink Heavenly Brew and let us drink Fire Knife?"

"Having something to drink is already good; why be picky? I'm almost out of food."

Hong Zun said angrily, "Only this half jar is left, and you want to share it? Drink shit."

Having said that, he puffed his cheeks and gulped down the wine in the cup; though it should have been mellow and fragrant Heavenly Brew, drinking it now felt like Fire Knife, burning his throat.

"Damn, the more I think about it, the angrier I get."

The fine wine had gone bad; Hong Zun couldn't help but rise again. Seeing this, Qing Shi asked curiously.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to beat that bunch of rebellious disciples again; I'm not satisfied."

As the words fell, he had already vanished; thereafter, throughout Spirit City, miserable cries of Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie and the others kept ringing out, even Myriad Phenomena and Shen Xian couldn't escape.
