Chapter 290 Free Meals
Legend has it that there was a legendary doctor in the martial arts world who could bring the dead back to life, named Li Lianhua.
His most distinctive feature is that he owns a lotus-shaped building.
This building is pulled by a horse; it has one bedroom and one living room and is quite spacious.
With Li Lianhua was a dog named Fox Spirit.
This man and his dog depended on each other for survival as they wandered the world.
Saving someone every now and then, and then taking a break every now and then, seems quite enjoyable.
But what no one knows is that Li Lianhua also has another name: Li Xiangyi.
This name is far more well-known than Li Lianhua.
Ten years ago, Li Xiangyi was the top martial arts master among the younger generation in the Liang Dynasty.
He founded the Sigu Sect at the age of seventeen, and at the age of twenty, he became the most powerful figure in the martial arts world, an invincible being.
With such talent, everyone thought he would become the youngest master in the martial arts world.
But ten years ago, an accident happened.
Li Xiangyi's senior brother, Shan Gudao, died mysteriously, and even his body was stolen.
All evidence points to the Golden Couple Alliance.
Enraged, Li Xiangyi challenged Di Feisheng, the leader of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, to a duel on the shores of the East China Sea.
In that battle, both the Si Gu Sect and the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance suffered heavy losses.
The elite forces of the Sigu Sect were all wiped out and disbanded. Li Xiangyi's whereabouts are unknown, and he is presumed dead.
On the old site of Sigumen, some of the elders of Sigumen formed Baichuan Academy to oversee the martial arts world.
Although the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance also suffered heavy losses, Jiao Liqiao stabilized the situation, and the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance still exists. Only Di Feisheng was seriously injured and went into seclusion, and has not appeared in the martial arts world for ten years.
In short, this is a lose-lose story.
However, Di Feisheng's Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance was more loyal, while Li Xiangyi's Four Gates were far less so.
Li Xiangyi was seriously injured because his trusted confidant, Yun Biqiu, poisoned him with Bicha.
This poison is unparalleled in the world; there is no antidote.
Even though Li Xiangyi possessed profound internal strength, ten years have passed and he is still plagued by deadly poison, his life is nearing its end.
suburbs.
Li Lianhua is cooking.
"You're in luck, vixen! I bought some spare ribs today, so you'll have bones to gnaw on."
Li Lianhua cleaned the ribs thoroughly, stir-fried them, and then prepared to add the seasonings.
"It should be this one."
Li Lianhua took out a jar, poured some black liquid into a bowl, and then prepared to pour it into a pot.
But just then, someone rode in on horseback, making a hoofbeat sound like "Guo Degang".
"Um?"
Li Lianhua looked up and saw a young man in blue robes, with a handsome appearance.
"Brother, if you put your seasonings in, this pot of ribs will be ruined."
The person who arrived was none other than Gu Qianbei.
He looked at Li Lianhua with a smile on his face, thinking to himself, "Finally found you, kid."
"Is there anything wrong with me adding soy sauce?"
Li Lianhua asked in confusion.
"Adding soy sauce is fine, but what you added isn't soy sauce, it's vinegar."
"vinegar?"
Li Lianhua was taken aback. She took a sniff, but couldn't detect any smell.
His heart sank, knowing that the poison in his body had worsened.
Now, my five senses are gradually being lost.
"Your nose doesn't seem to be in good condition."
"It's an old problem. Thank you for reminding me, young master."
Li Lianhua smiled, not caring, and then took out another jar and poured it into the pot.
This time it's soy sauce.
"That's right."
Gu Qianbei smiled, then dismounted and walked to Li Lianhua's side.
"Is there something you need, brother?"
Li Lianhua said in surprise.
"It's lunchtime, and I'd like to have a meal here with you, brother. You don't mind, do you?"
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"I don't mind, but these ribs cost a lot of money, and I didn't cook many dishes."
Look, I still have a dog to feed.
Li Lianhua pointed to the fox spirit beside her, implying that it wasn't that she didn't want to entertain her, but rather that she didn't have the means.
Gu Qianbei didn't mind and took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table.
"Is this okay?"
Li Lianhua's eyes lit up immediately.
"Sure, of course! I'll add an extra dish for you right away. May I ask your name?"
"Gu Qianbei".
Upon hearing this name, Li Lianhua's mind raced.
Although Gu Qianbei was a江湖人 (jianghu person) from the Ming Dynasty, he also had some fame in Daliang.
The title of "the world's number one brewer" is quite impressive.
After all, people in the martial arts world love to drink, and if good wine is produced continuously, it is easy for people in the martial arts world to become well-known.
"So it's Brother Gu, I've heard so much about you. My name is Li Lianhua."
Li Lianhua exchanged pleasantries for a moment, then immediately grabbed some vegetables from the side and began cooking.
He looks quite impressive when he cooks, very professional, but when he adds seasonings, it makes you frown.
Due to the effects of the poison from the green tea, his sense of smell and taste were impaired, making it impossible for him to distinguish flavors, resulting in the food he cooked tasting very strange.
The ribs were saved thanks to Gu Qianbei's reminder, but now Gu Qianbei has to fend for herself when it comes to the vegetables.
At this moment, Gu Qianbei was already captivated by the Lotus Pavilion.
It must be said that having a motorhome like this in ancient times would have been very appealing.
"Brother Li, your carriage is quite unique. May I go inside for a look?"
"Of course, please go ahead, Brother Gu."
Li Lianhua didn't have anything to hide, so she agreed immediately.
Gu Qianbei entered the Lotus Pavilion, which was not much different from an ordinary farmhouse.
A bed, a desk, and some other furniture—simple and unpretentious, yet exuding a grand atmosphere.
Over the course of ten years, Li Lianhua continuously improved the Lotus Pavilion, transforming it into its present form.
Every plank here represents his hard work and dedication.
"That's really good."
Gu Qianbei had already decided to stay here for a few days.
After all, this kind of experience isn't something you can have all the time.
"Brother Gu! The food is ready! Come and eat!"
Li Lianhua's voice rang out, and Gu Qianbei walked out of the Lotus Pavilion.
Braised pork ribs, stir-fried greens, and a plate of tofu—the dishes were quite colorful.
"Brother Li's cooking skills look quite good."
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"Haha, I just came up with these ideas on my own. I'm glad you don't mind. Come, have a seat."
Li Lianhua chuckled and picked up the rice to start eating.
He was indeed a little hungry.
Seeing this, Gu Qianbei didn't stand on ceremony, picked up her chopsticks, and took a piece of pork rib.
Hmm, it tastes good. Luckily I reminded them, otherwise the ribs would have tasted sour.
After finishing the ribs, Gu Qianbei took a bite of the greens, and her expression immediately changed.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?"
Li Lianhua asked in confusion.
"Brother Li has quite a unique palate. These vegetables seem a bit too salty."
"Salty? No, it's not salty. It tastes fine to me."
Li Lianhua picked up a piece of vegetable leaf and ate it, her face full of confusion.
"Brother Li, you seem to have a problem with your sense of taste, and it's not a minor one."
Gu Qianbei shook her head slightly and shoveled down several mouthfuls of rice.
That's so sweet!
I almost killed him.
