Jiuli Village is bustling with activity at this moment.
When they learned that Lu Qing was going to treat the entire village to a meal and that he was going to cook spiritual rice, everyone was very much looking forward to it.
Most people in the village have seen the two acres of spiritual fields planted by Lu Qing behind the courtyard halfway up the mountain.
I know that the spiritual grains growing in the two acres of spiritual fields are growing very well.
The ears of rice produced by the spiritual rice were heavy and the best-growing rice they had ever seen.
So everyone is curious about what the rice tastes like when cooked from such good-looking rice.
The Lu family's yard was now filled with tables and chairs, and each set of tables and chairs looked different.
It was a temporary collection of things that each family in the village moved from their homes.
This is how banquets are held in the countryside. Usually one family hosts the banquet, and every household contributes to help.
Lu Qing, with an apron wrapped around her waist, was busy in front of the makeshift stove in the yard.
Since he is treating us today, he naturally has to cook himself.
For cooking a big pot meal like this, the kitchen at home is not very spacious, so he simply built a simple stove outside.
At this time, Lu Qing was busy cutting meat.
On the simple chopping board, the knife flashed, and large pieces of beef, mutton and pork were quickly cut into cubes or thin slices by Lu Qing.
Swish, swish, swish…
The knife shadow flashed, and Lu Qing pressed and turned his palm lightly, and a piece of bright red beef turned into half a beautiful beef slice.
Every piece of meat seemed to have been measured precisely with a ruler, and was extremely even.
The people watching on the side were all staring with wide eyes.
Only then did they understand why Lu Qing refused when they wanted to help before.
With this level of knife skills, they would never be able to learn it even if they practiced for a lifetime.
If I go up to help, I'm afraid I'll just make things worse.
Ma Gu was also watching Lu Qing cutting vegetables.
However, unlike the villagers who were just watching the fun, he was looking at the meaning behind Lu Qing's swordsmanship.
As a swordsman who has also comprehended a domain, Lu Qing's swordsmanship has already reached a superb level.
Even if he was just cutting vegetables with a kitchen knife, the meaning of the sword revealed in it was enough to make Magu fascinated.
Just as everyone was watching Lu Qing cutting vegetables, there was another noise coming from outside the yard.
Soon, Xiaotian came in with a few men, carrying a lot of things.
"Mr. Lu, I have delivered the chickens, ducks and fish you requested." Xiaotian said respectfully.
"Okay, let's leave it there for now." Lu Qing nodded.
"Mr. Lu, is there anything else you need to tell us?" Xiaotian asked.
"Not for now. By the way, Xiaotian, you guys should stay too and have a quick meal."
"this……"
Seeing Xiaotian hesitate, Magu came over and tapped his head gently.
He glared at her and said, "Just stay if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
This silly boy, does he know what a great opportunity it is to be able to stay and have such a meal?
Knowing how precious the spiritual rice was, Ma Gu felt a little disappointed.
"I understand, Master Ma, I will bother you, Mr. Lu."
Xiaotian never dared to disobey Magu's words, so he immediately shrank his head and responded in a low voice.
Lu Qing smiled: "It's just a simple meal, no need to be nervous."
While Xiaotianxia was looking for a position, other villagers finally found jobs they could do.
He went forward to take down the chickens, ducks, fish and other things that Xiaotian brought over and slaughtered them.
They couldn't help Lu Qing with cutting vegetables, but they were still capable of doing tasks like killing chickens and ducks.
With the concerted efforts of the villagers, it didn't take long before all the ingredients were prepared.
Pots of slaughtered chickens, ducks, and fish, as well as beef and mutton cut by Lu Qing, were placed there.
The villagers were already salivating before they even started cooking.
There was no way. Jiuli Village had always been poor, and delicacies like fish and meat were only available during festivals or when someone held a banquet.
On weekdays, they rarely get to eat it.
Lu Qing naturally knew that people in the village rarely had access to meat, so this time he specially asked Xiaotian to help buy a large amount of meat.
I saw that the preparation of ingredients has been completed.
Next, it’s time to cook.
Because there were so many people, Lu Qing didn't make such delicate dishes this time, and just made a big pot of food.
But he believed that with his ability, coupled with the various seasonings he had developed over the years.
Even if it’s a big pot of food, it can’t possibly be unpalatable.
Soon, a large iron pot was set up. After the firewood burned vigorously enough, Lu Qing scooped a large piece of solidified lard into it.
With a sizzling sound, the lard melted and a fragrant aroma rose up.
After the oil was hot enough and the iron pan was thoroughly lubricated, Lu Qing put in a piece of sugar and fried it until it turned brown.
Pour a large plate of pork belly that had been cut into cubes and blanched in water in advance.
There was a popping sound, and under the high temperature, the rich aroma of meat soon filled the entire yard.
The villagers who were helping around couldn't help but twitch their noses.
Especially the little kids, they couldn't help drooling.
There's no way, the smell of meat is too tempting.
Smelling such a rich aroma of meat, everyone is looking forward to today's banquet even more.
When Lu Qing had fried the sugar color on the meat pieces, he started to add water and various spices, and then let it simmer slowly.
He took advantage of this time to set up another pot and start cooking other dishes.
Just when Lu Qing was distracted and cooking several pots of food at the same time.
The Wei family villa was in a state of surprise at this moment.
"Ah Hai, what did you say, did you find Zihao?"
Wei Xinghe looked at Chief Steward Wei with surprise.
Mrs. Wei was also frightened and trembled a little.
"Uncle Hai, are you telling the truth? Did you find my brother?" Wei Zian was also very surprised.
More than two months ago, news came from Jeju.
It was said that Qingyun Sword Pavilion had offended some unknown enemy and was uprooted overnight.
Not only were most of the sect's disciples killed, but even the mountain gate was burned down.
Only a few disciples outside the sect managed to escape the disaster.
After receiving this news, the Wei family was naturally very anxious.
Because the eldest master of the mansion, Wei Zihao, is a disciple of Qingyun Sword Pavilion.
Wei Xinghe immediately gave orders to make every effort to find Wei Zihao's whereabouts, whether he was alive or dead.
However, more than two months passed and they still found no trace of Wei Zihao.
Just when Wei Shanhai and the others thought that Wei Zihao had died in the disaster at Qingyun Sword Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, Chief Steward Wei brought news that Wei Zihao had been found.
“Yes, sir, madam, two days ago, the spies we sent out saw the young master in the state capital.
As soon as I received the news, I rushed over to inform you." Wei Dachang said respectfully.
"Hao'er is in the provincial capital, so why doesn't he go home directly?" Wei Xinghe wondered.
“According to the spies in the mansion, the eldest young master seems to be with several of his fellow disciples from Qingyun Sword Pavilion.
Moreover, they looked very panicked, as if they were hiding from or afraid of something.
The spies didn't understand what was going on and didn't dare to show up and disturb the young master.
Just watching from the dark to protect him."
"Hao'er is afraid of someone?" Wei Xinghe had already thought, and then he realized, "Yes, Qingyun Sword Pavilion was destroyed overnight.
Until now, no one knows who did it.
Haoer must know something, or he must be afraid of implicating his family.
That’s why he didn’t come back, nor contact his family, but hid in the state capital.”
It was able to destroy a powerful sect like Qingyun Sword Pavilion silently overnight.
The one who took action must be an extremely powerful force or practitioner.
No matter which one it is, none of them, the Wei family, can afford to provoke.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Wei Zihao had been hiding outside and had not escaped back to the Wei family.
But how could Wei Xinghe just watch his son fall into danger?
Immediately, he said that he would go to the provincial capital to bring Wei Zihao back.
"Dad, wait a minute!"
However, at this moment, Wei Zian spoke out to stop his father.
"This matter is of great importance. Let's consult Dr. Lu Qing first before making any plans."
Although he was also concerned about his brother's safety, after hearing Uncle Hai's words, Wei Zian instinctively sensed a hint of danger.
Wei Zian would not underestimate his intuition.
Over the past few months, the energy of the world's origin in his body has already been completely integrated into his body.
This caused his body to undergo a complete transformation.
Not only did his aptitude increase greatly, but even his intuition became extremely sharp.
So after sensing the dangerous aura in the dark, he did not dare to be careless.
"May I ask Young Master Lu for advice..." Wei Xinghe hesitated, "But Young Master Lu is going to host a banquet for the villagers of Jiuli Village today.
I'm afraid he's busy right now. Wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to disturb him now?"
Wei Xinghe was very in awe of Lu Qing.
When he met Lu Qing on weekdays, his attitude was quite reserved.
It's far less advanced than the relationship between Wei Zian and Lu Qing.
"Young Doctor Lu Qing won't mind." Wei Zian said, "Dad, the Qingyun Sword Sect is one of the most powerful sects in Jeju, but it was destroyed overnight.
The murderer must be an extremely terrifying person, more powerful than we can imagine.
Dad, if you rashly go to the provincial capital, what if you accidentally reveal your whereabouts and are discovered by the murderer?
Therefore, this matter still needs to be considered carefully, and it would be best to ask for the opinions of Doctor Lu and Senior Chen first.
At the very least, we have to ask our ancestors for instructions first."
Wei Zian analyzed the situation to his father bit by bit and tried to persuade him.
In Wei Zian's heart, Lu Qing and the old doctor's knowledge and strength are extremely powerful.
Therefore, it is best to consult them first if you have any questions.
However, seeing Wei Zian talking so confidently.
Wei Xinghe and his wife, as well as Chief Steward Wei, were all stunned.
It seemed a little hard to believe that these words were spoken by the once pampered and naive young master.
"Master, An'er is right. We should discuss this matter with Mr. Lu and the others."
Mrs. Wei also said at this time.
"Okay, I'll listen to An'er. I was just too impatient."
Wei Xinghe also understood that he was indeed confused because of his concern just now, and was not as clear-sighted as An'er.
Thinking of this, he looked at his youngest son with relief: "An'er, you have really grown up. Now you are calmer than your father when facing things."
Wei Zian blushed: "Thank you for the compliment, Dad. I know that Dad is just concerned about my brother's safety, so he is like this."
Seeing him like this, Wei Xinghe's face showed even more relief.
At the same time, I felt extremely fortunate.
When he agreed to let his youngest son follow Lu Qing and the others to go out for training, it was truly one of the best decisions he had ever made in his life.
After Zi'an came back from his training in Zhongzhou, he has been completely transformed.
Not only has his cultivation level greatly increased, he has now reached the initial stage of internal organs and is not too far from the stage of minor success. He can be said to be one of the top masters in the mansion.
The most important thing is that my mind has become much more mature and stable, and I can completely stand on my own.
As for the words of dissuasion he just said, Zi'an would never have been able to say them half a year ago.
"Zi'an, you're right, we should consult Mr. Lu and the others about this matter first.
But Mr. Lu is hosting a banquet today, so we don’t want to spoil his fun.
We will ask him for advice after the banquet."
"But Dad, if this is the case, what about my brother..." Wei Zian said hesitantly.
“More than two months have passed, there is no need to rush.
Since your brother chose to hide in the state capital, he obviously considered his own safety.
You were right before. If I go to meet him rashly, it might not be a good thing.
Let's go, Mr. Lu is hosting a banquet today and has invited us, so it's time to go."
When Wei Xinghe and others arrived at the Lu family, Lu Qing had almost finished cooking the dishes.
"Mr. Lu."
"Master Wei, you are here. Please take a seat first. The meal will be served soon.
"Xiaoyan, take Patriarch Wei and the others to the master." Lu Qing shouted.
Then Xiaoyan ran out of the house: "Aunt, let's go inside, Grandpa Chen and Grandpa Wei are inside."
"Is the old ancestor here too?"
Wei Xinghe was a little surprised.
Ever since Wei Shanhai received the immortal cultivation inheritance from Lu Qing, he has rarely appeared at home.
The dragon is often missing, either going to a small courtyard halfway up the mountain or somewhere else to practice Taoism.
Even Wei Xinghe rarely sees him.
I didn't expect that he would be free to come to the banquet today.
But this is also a good thing. Thinking of Wei Zihao's matter and the presence of his ancestors, Wei Xinghe felt more at ease.
At least, after the banquet is over, he won't be unable to find his ancestor.
After Wei Xinghe and others entered the house, Lu Qing began to serve the dishes.
He first opened the lid of the pot where the meat had been simmering.
Suddenly, an extremely rich aroma of meat emanated from the pot and quickly filled the entire yard.
“It smells so good!”
For a moment, everyone in the yard couldn't help but sniff.
All eyes were focused on Lu Qing.
Then they saw Lu Qing scooping out large bowls of red meat from the big iron pot, and then the villagers in charge of serving the dishes delivered them to each table.
When the piece of meat was placed on the table, it was trembling, very elastic and very oily.
Even Wei Xinghe, who was used to seeing delicious food and eating lavish meals, suddenly felt a little greedy when he saw it.
