By now, Chu Cheng's face had returned to normal. He rubbed his aching face and walked over with Huali.
"Ah Jue, you're too cruel.
Have you been plotting this for a long time? "
Lan Jue glanced at him. "I haven't plotted, but I've been wanting to beat you up for a long time."
Chu Cheng flipped him the middle finger, then turned to Tang Xiao with a fierce glare. "Fatty, you've got it!
You're good.
Did your teacher teach you this? "
"I didn't teach it," Tang Xiao answered honestly. "I came up with it myself.
I think that in a fight, you have to use all means. As long as you can win, the process isn't important.
What's important is the final result.
Martial Uncle, please don't be angry!
Aren't we all working for different masters? "
Chu Cheng was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. Huali, who was beside him, said in a strange tone, "So you've told your teacher that story before?"
Tang Xiao said bitterly, "I told him the first time I sparred with him, and then he beat me up.
I haven't dared to say it lately. "
Huali cracked her knuckles and nodded maliciously.
Tang Xiao coughed and said, "Teacher, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first.
Oh, right.
I won't be able to come and train for the next few days. "
"Oh?"
Lan Jue looked at him doubtfully. "Don't be afraid. Will your uncle and uncle really bully a junior like you?"
Tang Xiao hurriedly shook his head. "No, it's not that. The school's training too.
I can't leave.
The people from Hailing College will be here the day after tomorrow. I'm one of the students participating in the sparring. I'll be practicing mecha piloting for the next few days. "
"Hailing College?" Lan Jue was curious.
"What are they doing here?"
Tang Xiao said, "Hailing College is a mecha school.
It specialized in teaching mecha pilots.
The academy was located on Planet Lir.
It's not too far from Planet Skyfire.
I heard that the dean of Hailing College and our dean were rivals in love.
In the end, our dean won the beauty and was hated by others.
Therefore, every year, Hailing College will specially send people to our place. They claim that they are here to learn from each other, but in fact, they are here to show off their strength. "
Chu Cheng said with great interest, "It's that fun?
How do we communicate then? "
Tang Xiao said, "It's mainly mecha sparring.
He didn't know what the dean was thinking, but he actually agreed to it.
He was a student who specialized in teaching mecha!
Our school is better at research.
In terms of mecha piloting teaching ability, he was much weaker than them.
Therefore, every time, he was abused very badly.
Those fellows from Hailing College are really shameless. Not only are there exchanges between students, but there are also exchanges between teachers.
If we didn't have the Goddess of Violence.
I'm afraid we wouldn't have stood a chance.
Only Mr.Tan has a chance to win. "
"Originally, there was still some time before the exchange, but Hailing College heard that some guy named Neptune was coming to our school for a concert, so they came early.
What's so good about a shitty concert? What a bunch of idiots. "
Huali pushed her glasses up her nose. "Don't you ever listen to Neptune's songs?"
Tang Xiao puffed out his belly, then said proudly, "Uncle, I'm a real man.
Who would listen to a sissy song like that? The kind that moans and moans are only suitable for men and girls with a different sexual orientation. "
Chu Cheng looked at Lan Jue, a strange expression on his face.
"Your apprentice is born with the ability to taunt, isn't he?"
Huali turned to Lan Jue, her face expressionless. "Don't say I didn't give you face."
Lan Jue slapped her forehead.
Then she said to Tang Xiao in a serious tone, "I was going to give you a day off, but it looks like you'll have to continue today's special training, and probably double the amount.
Huali, go easy on him. Don't break him. "
Huali nodded, then walked in front of the stunned Tang Xiao. She took off her hat and glasses, then flashed a mesmerizing smile. "Fatty, don't you think I look familiar?"
"Huh?"
"Ah —"
"I told you to only be suitable for people with a different sexual orientation!"
"I told you to be a sissy!"
"Ah, ah, ah!"
The Gourmet's hut was still quiet and simple.
Lan Jue, Huali, and Chu Cheng all changed clothes and came together.
There was only one person who arrived before them, a beautiful and elegant woman.
"Nice to meet you, Seamstress." Lan Jue smiled at the woman sitting there.
The Seamstress rose and smiled at the three. "Nice to meet you.
And this is … "Her eyes naturally fell on Huali's face.
Whenever Huali didn't bother to cover herself up, it was easy to attract attention.
Huali smiled, and said in a gentlemanly manner, "Hello, beautiful lady.
I'm Huali. "
Chu Cheng nodded to the Seamstress. "Hello, I'm Chu Cheng."
Lan Jue looked at him strangely. "That's not like you."
Chu Cheng grumbled. "I hate coming out with Huali. As long as he's around, do you think the girls will look at us?"
The Seamstress covered her mouth with a chuckle. "Not really!
Neptune is more handsome in person than in the hologram.
But you two aren't bad either. You and the Jewelry Master have your own style.
I like a man with a good figure.
Good for a clothes rack. "
Chu Cheng's eyes lit up. "You really are a lady with good taste.
Some people are good looking, but they're just as good looking! "
"Can you not act like a high school boy," Huali said coolly.
Chu Cheng's mouth twitched, and he found a seat.
The Seamstress asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'high school boy'?"
Lan Jue smiled. "High school is the age of first awakening to love. High school boys are used to showing off in front of the women they love, and criticizing others."
The Seamstress laughed. "You guys are interesting.
The Gourmet is busy in the back, you guys go ahead. "
Huali sat down beside Chu Cheng, while Lan Jue walked to the back. "Gourmet, do you need help?"
The Gourmet's voice called from inside. "No need, I'll be ready in a moment."
Lan Jue: "Did you call the Wine Master today?"
The Gourmet: "He just contacted me and said he couldn't make it. We'll eat by ourselves."
Lan Jue: "If he doesn't come, then there's no good wine to drink!"
The Gourmet: "Let's drink something else today.
His wine isn't suitable for today's dishes anyway. "
Lan Jue chuckled. "You're so realistic. If his wine isn't suitable for today's dishes, then why didn't you call him?"
The Gourmet didn't say anything more. The sounds of cooking could be heard from inside, and a faint aroma wafted out. Lan Jue's appetite was piqued. She sniffed, and the smile on her face grew wider.
"Jewelry Master, why didn't you bring that girl from last time here to make clothes?
I promised her, "the Seamstress said.
Lan Jue slapped her forehead. "Ah, I forgot.
There's a lot of things I forgot after that last meal.
Maybe next time, I'll bring her to you. "
The Seamstress smiled. "I like the way she smells.
Bring her here. "
Before long, the Gourmet emerged, carrying a large platter. The rich aroma of meat wafted towards them.
Each of the six dishes looked very tempting.
Five of them were meat, and one was vegetarian.
The Gourmet pointed to the dishes. "Braised pork with preserved vegetables, steamed crab, Chencun noodles, duck in tea, spring chicken in butter, squirrel mandarin fish, stir-fried chrysanthemum.
They're all home-cooked dishes, but they're rich in flavor. "
Lan Jue's eyes shone. "They're all my favorites. Gourmet, why are you being so nice to me today? If you have something to ask of me, just say it."
The Gourmet smiled. "What would I ask of you?
Just to celebrate that you're still alive.
There's also a soup, but that's for you.
There's no one else, so I'll go in and get it. "
"Uncle!" Right at this moment, a slightly hoarse voice resounded.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the food.
The Gourmet's eyes had been fixed on the dishes, but when he heard the voice he looked up in surprise.
Chu Cheng was already standing at the table, staring at the Gourmet in shock.
The Gourmet's eyes narrowed. "I don't know you," he said, his voice cold.
"Sit down and eat, or get out!" He turned and walked to the back of the room.
Chu Cheng's face darkened, but after a moment he sat down.
When the Gourmet reappeared, he had a stew pot in his hands. He set it down in front of Lan Jue. His smile was gone, replaced with a somber expression.
The Seamstress smiled. "Gourmet, I remember you once told me that a chef must be in a good mood when he's cooking. That's the only way to make delicious food.
If he's in a bad mood, the food won't taste good. "
The Gourmet looked at her, and nodded. His face relaxed, but he didn't so much as glance at Chu Cheng.
Chu Cheng didn't make a sound. Compared to his usual lively self, he was silent.
"Gourmet, where's the wine?
Today's food should go well with ancient China. Our ancestors' white wine or yellow wine? "Lan Jue asked.
"Mm.
You've just recovered, so don't drink anything too strong.
I'll heat up some yellow wine for you. "He walked to the back and brought out a tray.
It was a small charcoal stove, with a beautifully crafted copper kettle on top. The kettle had obvious signs of forging, but each mark was evenly spaced. The lid was carved with a dragon, simple and elegant.
Beside the stove were five black cups. With a wave of his right hand, the cups flew out and landed in front of each person.
On the other side of the stove was a small porcelain bowl, filled with dark plums.
