A maid wearing a light veil with a beautiful figure looming indistinctly approached, cut off the best piece of fish and served it, Yingying knelt in front of Gu Juan, and said in a soft voice: "Master, please use it."
After Gu Juan picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, he nodded in admiration and said, "It's really good, it tastes delicious."
After eating two mouthfuls in a row, the taste was good, but he always felt that something was missing, so he couldn't help but put down the cup and chopsticks and fell into thought.
All the people on the table held their breaths and concentrated, and there was a sudden silence in the hall.
Not long after, he suddenly figured out that the root cause of the joints still lies in the energy provided by food.
Why do you feel that something is missing? That is because although golden pomfret tastes delicious, it is not comparable to the satisfaction after eating a primordial spar. It can only satisfy the taste.
"Huh? What are you doing in a daze, let's eat." When Gu Juan looked up, he found that everyone else was sitting there cautiously, not daring to move, so he picked up the wine glass again.
Immediately, the hall was filled with laughter and joy.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
There was a sudden chaos outside the hall.
Huang Bangshan frowned, and the housekeeper who had been guarding the door immediately went out to check.
After a while, the housekeeper of the Huang Mansion came back and led an old hunter in shabby clothes to the door of the banquet hall.
It was the first time for Lao Zhangtou to enter the most powerful Huang's mansion in Anding City. From the moment he entered the door, he was so overwhelmed by the pavilions and buildings in the Huang's mansion that he was speechless, and his heart was already a little timid.
After passing through the corridors and arriving at the banquet hall, Lao Zhangtou mustered up the courage to take a peek, and found that all the people around him were big figures he had never seen before, even the arrogant and arrogant Huangfu Dao in Anding City. The butler is not even qualified to serve the table, so he can only stand outside the door and do a job of listening to the food.
"What a noble person this must be!"
Old Zhang didn't even dare to look at Gu Pan who was seated in the middle, and fell down on the ground from a long distance away, unable to even speak.
"Old man, let's get up, sit down and talk Well, eating is the biggest meal in the world, has the old man eaten, Mr. Huang, add another pair of bowls and chopsticks to the old man, and we will talk after eating and drinking."
"Yes, yes, the villain will obey the sect master's decree."
Huang Pangshan got up in a panic, and personally invited the trembling old Zhangtou in.
Old Zhang sat down on the table frightened, raised his chopsticks and didn't know where to stretch them, so he could only drink one sip after another.
After drinking the first glass of wine, the old man thought it was the best wine he had ever had.
After the second glass of wine, he secretly sighed, as long as he can drink such a beautiful meal, even if he loses half a year of life, it will be worth it.
After the third glass of wine, Lao Zhangtou was already a little drunk, and for the first time after sitting down, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish.
After eating a piece of fish meat, Lao Zhang's hazy head turned red with drunken eyes, and he almost cried out with a sore nose.
Old Zhangtou sighed unceasingly. Although he had been hunting outside Anding City for decades, and knew a few fishermen who made their living by fishing by the river, the golden pomfret was something he couldn't afford anyway. , the first time I tasted such a delicacy, I almost swallowed myself like a tongue.
At this time, under the influence of alcohol, Lao Zhangtou had the courage to look around, only to find that no one at the table moved their chopsticks except himself who was drinking and chewing.
Even the maids serving wine and vegetables beside him, those fairy-like girls, looked at him a little strangely.
Well¡¡
Old Zhang opened his mouth and showed an expression that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Na Na put down the chopsticks and shrank back cautiously.
Gu Juan filled his wine glass, stood up and paid respects to old Zhang's head, and said with a smile: "The old man's food is delicious, and my appetite has been greatly increased. Come, let me offer a toast to old Mr. Zhang."
Old Zhang was stunned for a moment, the young master sitting on the main seat really didn't have any intention of looking down on him, his heart trembled suddenly, he hurriedly picked up the cup, and drank with Gu Pan.
Needless to say, all the maidservants who followed behind showed the sweetest smiles to Lao Zhangtou, and there was no more cold-eyed confrontation before.
After eating and drinking for a while, Gu Juan put down his chopsticks, and smiled at the old Zhangtou who was seven or eight percent saturated and six or seven percent drunk: "Mr. Zhang, do you still remember how you found those jade stones?"
Before the old man came, he knew what he was going to ask, so he was well prepared.
When Gu Juan asked, he immediately replied: "It was more than half a month ago, the little old man was hunting a wounded sika deer in the mountains, and he was getting farther and farther away from his original range of activities unconsciously. It was not until night fell that I realized that I had gone deep into the depths of the uninhabited mountains."
"The little old man was afraid, so he gave up his prey immediately, and wanted to find a safe place to spend the night before finding his way back."
"It's just that I didn't expect that the night in the mountains and forests was extremely terrifying."
Old Zhangtou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, took another sip of wine, then sighed and continued: "The beasts in that forest become abnormal at night, little old man Hiding in the hole of a big tree more than ten feet above the ground, I saw with my own eyes tigers, leopards, jackals and other ferocious beasts, as well as some other herbivores, gathered in one place without even fighting. "
Gu Juan was absent-mindedly picking up food and drinking, and silently listening to the old man's memories. Only then did he become a little interested, and asked, "What are they doing together?"
Old Zhangtou seemed unable to believe what he saw that night, swallowed and said, "They are looking at the moon together."
"The sika deer that I shot was also among them, but, but it was obviously shot by me with an arrow, but at this time, no obvious wounds can be seen."
"At that time, the little old man was terribly frightened, so he stayed in his hiding place and didn't dare to move. He just wanted to wait for the animals to disperse, and then come out to find the mountain road back, until, until"
When the old Zhangtou said this, he seemed to have lost his soul. He suddenly fell silent, his face turned pale without warning, and his body began to tremble slightly.
Gu Juan seemingly casually tapped on the table lightly, and the crisp sound of fingers colliding with the wine glass rippled, quietly dispelling the mysterious and oppressive atmosphere that permeated the room at some time.
He looked up into the eyes of old Zhangtou, and smiled slightly after a while, "The old man continued talking, why did he stop?"
The old Zhangtou seemed to have suddenly returned to his body, subconsciously grabbed the glass and took a sip of wine, and then continued: "What happened to me just now, why did I suddenly seem to see a white light?"
Gu Juan looked down at the extra white frost on his fingertips, and still smiled gently, "Oh, maybe there was something evil that wanted to harm Mr. Zhang, but I blocked it." (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
