Chapter 525 My intuition tells me something's wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on it
Moreover, looking at this queue, although there are many people, it's not ridiculously large.
It seems there are fewer people than those in the Weapon Sect, and I don't know why they built such a large dining hall.
They even contracted out the project to Zhongli Yu, having cultivators from the sect build the canteen. It really is a small sect.
With this in mind, Da Dao looked around at his surroundings.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is lovely, and the air is fresh...
These mountains, in patches, look somewhat familiar.
Big Knife was making a mental calculation.
Li Ling turned her head to look in Zhong Liyu's direction and saw the three people following Zhong Liyu.
Are there new people here? I've never seen either of them before.
She was deeply impressed by Jin Dazhu.
Jin Dazhu was on Jiang He's team during the college entrance examination and got a good score. Last time in the university competition, Jin Dazhu and Long Aotian also led the way.
In Li Ling's memory, Jin Dazhu had always been lucky.
As the ranks of soldiers gradually dwindled, the aroma grew stronger.
Just then, Ye Yinqiu returned with the information she had gathered:
"Good news! Good news! Today we had Mapo Tofu and Stir-fried Pork with Chili!"
"Mapo Tofu?" What a strange name, Da Dao wondered.
"Is that a person's name, Mapo?"
Da Dao scratched his head in disbelief.
"I don't know, maybe it's just a name. Senior Sister Hongmu's cooking is delicious. Once you eat it, I guarantee you'll want to eat bowl after bowl."
Ye Yinqiu laughed and said that he had found three more stainless steel basins.
Ye Yinqiu shoved the three basins onto Jin Dazhu, the broadsword, and the sword.
One per person.
“I bought this basin. You can use it for now. I see you are all Li Yu’s friends. You can try using the basin. I guarantee you will love it. Otherwise, it’s quite troublesome to keep serving rice, and the gatekeeper will get impatient.”
Da Dao didn't hear a single word Ye Yinqiu said, except for one sentence.
This bowl is for eating.
Holding the basin, Da Dao was momentarily filled with doubt.
Which decent family eats from a basin, especially an iron basin?
Does he look like the kind of person who eats a lot?
Da Dao was stunned for a long time before he could react.
Kim Dae-joo and Dae-geon accepted it well.
Zhong Liyu's gaze fell on the hand holding the broadsword, and she couldn't help but praise Ye Yinqiu's wit.
That's right, even a bowl of snacks won't be enough to satisfy your cravings.
"Mapo tofu and stir-fried pork with chili peppers, they sound delicious."
"I don't understand Mapo Tofu, nor do I understand Stir-fried Pork with Chili. Your sect has quite a variety of dish names, none of which I've ever heard of."
Da Dao and Zhong Liyu chatted casually.
"There's plenty. We'll come back for dinner tonight after we finish this afternoon."
Big Knife: "I won't go tonight. I have to go back and finish my orders. I haven't finished repairing the spirit swords that many cultivators sent me."
Big Sword tilted his head: "Brother, didn't you say our skills aren't good and we haven't received many orders lately...?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. It's clearly because we've already booked all the orders until next year that we're not taking any more."
"But……"
"Okay, enough with the 'buts'."
The big knife hurriedly stopped the big sword from speaking.
Honestly, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. This kid has been studying for so long and still doesn't understand.
"Okay, but we can talk about it after you finish this meal. We still need Brother Da Dao, Brother Da Jian, and Brother Da Zhu's help this afternoon."
Big Knife: "No problem, no problem."
Greatsword: "It's my duty."
Jin Dazhu: "We're all family, no need to be polite."
Jiang He's stir-fries are very appetizing. Most cultivators in the cultivation world have probably never eaten chili peppers since childhood, except for the bizarrely flavored nutrient solutions.
After all, chili peppers are spiritual plants, and eating them raw would be too spicy.
Therefore, the chili peppers that Jiang He chooses are not very spicy, and she usually uses a smaller amount, making them suitable for cultivators who prefer milder flavors.
The aroma of chili peppers wafted over, and Da Dao suddenly raised his sword high, peering out to see what was happening ahead.
Almost every cultivator had an eager look in their eyes.
Jiang He is like an NPC, appearing in the cafeteria at fixed mealtimes, often carrying a bowl of rice filled with food.
"Senior sister!"
Zhong Liyu greeted Jiang He, and Jiang He nodded in response.
Now, Da Dao has finally seen what Mapo Tofu and Stir-fried Pork with Chili look like.
The red juice blends with the whole block of tofu.
Although Da Dao had never seen or eaten tofu, he knew that the white, soft, and tender cubes were probably tofu.
The other stir-fried pork with chili peppers is more colorful, featuring not only green chili peppers but also meat and other side dishes.
When Da Dao saw the chili pepper, his eyes paused for a moment.
Chili peppers are a type of medicinal herb, so it's strange to pair them with ordinary dishes.
Jiang He squatted on the ground holding a bowl, and the aroma from the bowl kept tempting the other cultivators.
Ye Yinqiu was practically bewitched.
As for Zhong Liyu and the others, they were not to be outdone.
Da Dao's eyes were eager; this was the first time he had been tempted by food. He hadn't wanted to eat it at first, but looking at the presentation and smelling the aroma, Da Dao thought it wouldn't hurt to eat it.
The sunflower that the headless ghost had been longing for has sprouted, so he served his meals much faster today.
He kept calling out "Next person," and the long line quickly shortened.
When it was the turn of the group with the big knife, the headless ghost skillfully placed the rice and vegetables into the basin. With a scoop and a push, the cultivator with the bowl moved to the left, and then the action was repeated.
Da Dao swallowed hard, seemingly still a little hesitant. The food was really delicious, so delicious that it made him feel a little dizzy.
"Brother Dao, come this way!"
Zhong Liyu summoned his broadsword and arrived at the rested ridge of the field.
At first, Da Dao's attention was entirely focused on the crowd. He had only glanced at the panoramic view earlier and thought it was vast and the mountains and rivers were endless. But now that he saw the vast fields, his attention was instantly diverted.
"Do all these plots of land belong to your sect?"
Zhong Liyu: "That's right, they're all spirit fields. Don't be fooled by the fact that our sect doesn't have many buildings, we have a lot of land."
"I see, Lingtian..."
"That's way too much," Big Knife silently complained.
He glanced at the other cultivators, who were mostly enjoying their meals.
Zhong Liyu ate the meat, her eyes narrowing with delight.
"Brother Dao, try this! Stir-fried pork with chili peppers is absolutely delicious with rice!"
"The meat slices are thick and tender. They're really delicious!" Jin Dazhu buried his head in the iron basin. When he lifted his face, there were still grains of rice tinged with red on his lips and cheeks.
"Is it really that delicious?"
Da Dao couldn't help but wonder.
The dish smelled delicious, but Da Dao still didn't touch it. He had just looked around again and couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, but his sixth sense told him that something was off.
The aroma of spiciness filled Da Dao's nostrils, and he swallowed hard, about to pick up his chopsticks.
A few words of conversation were mixed in with the surrounding chatter.
The chopsticks that were wielded by the large knife suddenly missed their target.
"This stir-fried pork with chili peppers must be made with Black Wind pork, right? I have to say, Black Wind pork is really tender. How come I never realized it was so delicious before?"
