After Old Zhao heard what the little monkey said, he started laughing and said, ”You guys are underestimating me, Old Zhao, aren't you? Even though this prescription is a little strange, it's not enough for me, Old Zhao, to make up a story to swindle it out of you. Since you all are so suspicious, then let's end this matter here. ”
When Xiao Li heard the little monkey's retelling and saw Old Zhao leave in anger, he thought to himself, ”This Old Zhao has always been very calm. Why is he so crazy today? It's as if he's a completely different person.” He and Little Monkey looked at each other in confusion. They knew that they wouldn't be able to find the answer for the time being, so they could only put it aside for the time being.
Old Zhao returned to the stove and picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks. He actually looked at it with an intoxicated expression, as if he was intoxicated by the fragrance of the dish, but also seemed to be intoxicated by the delicious taste. Just like this, Xiao Li finally found an opportunity to go out and gather medicinal herbs because he needed to concoct this special dish.
Three days later, Xiao Li left the house and arrived at the mountain. He gathered all kinds of medicinal herbs, and at the same time, he cut down some branches that had high flexibility and hardness. He even hunted some wild animals. When he returned to the altar the next morning, he happened to run into Second Donkey and Three Eggs on duty. Xiao Li took some roast meat from his body and gave it to them secretly, causing them to be really happy for a while. They quickly patted Xiao Li's shoulders and said, ”Good brother, we really didn't misjudge you.
Xiao Li returned the next day and greeted Old Zhao. When he left yesterday, he told Old Zhao to cook for him for a day, so he told him as soon as he came back. Monkey was very happy to see Xiao Li return. If Xiao Li did not return, then he would be in trouble. Now that Old Zhao's injuries had fully healed, he could launch another surprise attack at any time. Thus, he was frightened the day and night that Xiao Li wasn't around. Although he knew that Xiao Li wouldn't leave without returning, he was still quite afraid. Now that Xiao Li had returned safely, he was naturally overjoyed.
Xiao Li noticed Old Zhao's peculiar gaze and hurriedly gestured towards Little Monkey. Little Monkey's eyes immediately changed to an extremely disappointed look, grumbling, ”How can you be like this? ”Didn't you promise to bring me something? You actually forgot about it.” Xiao Li didn't want his relationship with the little monkey to be known, so he purposely reminded the little monkey to pretend. Although it might not be enough to dispel Old Zhao's doubts, it could at least delay him for a while.
That day, Old Zhao was still cooking, but Xiao Li had given the ingredients to him to use. He wasn't afraid that Old Zhao would know the formula for this medicine, because even a well-researched doctor wouldn't be able to figure it out in a short period of time. Everyone in the Heaven Altar knew that a new chef had entered the kitchen. He could cook as well as Old Zhao, and he had a family secret recipe that could make the food even more delicious and enticing. After the guests had eaten the special dishes cooked by Xiao Li, they loudly praised, saying, ”Although the dishes cooked by Old Zhao are impeccable, they lack the kind of flavour that makes others think of them. Only this kind of culinary art can be called a God's Chef. Being able to cook such a dish is something that is worthy of respect and expectation. ”
Actually, Xiao Li knew that his cooking might not be as good as Old Zhao's, so he still respected him a lot. Old Zhao did not get angry at all when he heard these words. He only did his duty every day.
Xiao Li had a sense of propriety when it came to using a 'soul luring fan'. He didn't dare to put it too much. It was just that it was just enough to whet a person's appetite. Otherwise, it would be too much. Today, when he came back, Old Zhao told him that the guests had called for his dishes, otherwise they would have come to the kitchen to look for you. Therefore, he hurriedly told Little Monkey to bring the medicine over to him. At the same time, he also instructed Old Zhao to take as little medicine as possible.
After Xiao Li returned to his room, he closed the window and stayed inside the whole time. From time to time, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of ”peng peng”.
Xiao Li only came out after another day like this, telling Old Zhao that he had already prepared the medicine and that he didn't need to be busy with other things. This afternoon, Xiao Li and Old Zhao sent food to the training field together. Xiao Li was still with the little monkey, but the one carrying the burden was actually the little monkey. This was what Old Zhao had ordered the little monkey to do.
Xiao Li silently followed behind Foreign Dignitary Hong as he bravely walked towards the furthest distance. When Foreign Dignitary Hong saw the little monkey, he immediately laughed and said, ”Little Plague Monkey, you finally came again? This time, I won't fall for your trick again. ”
Seeing this, the little monkey stuck out his finger mysteriously and shushed him, ”Please be quiet, Old Hong! There are many ears and eyes here, and many things should be done with caution. ”
Foreign Dignitary Hong did not take it to heart and laughed: ”Brat, you only know how to put on a show of mysteriousness. Do you really think you can deceive me? ”Last time, I heard clearly that Lieutenant Shen Bu was indeed an elder, but it wasn't as exaggerated as you said. Moreover, the matter of him being an elder was no longer a secret, yet you still put on airs in front of me.”
The little monkey didn't pay any more attention to him. Instead, it put down the burden, took out a dish with Xiao Li, and distributed it to everyone. When Foreign Dignitary Hong saw that the other party was no longer paying attention to him, he was immediately a little angry. Then he said to the little monkey, ”What? Don't let me get the hang of it, okay? ”
The little monkey still ignored him, slowly arranging and placing exquisite meals on the food pole. At the same time, it poured him a cup full of wine and said: ”Elder Hong, this is the new dish cooked by our kitchen. You should try some dishes first.”
Foreign Dignitary Hong said angrily, ”No, let's first clarify the matter before we eat.” Although he said that he wasn't going to eat it, his hands weren't slow. He grabbed the wine cup and drained it dry. Then, he picked up a piece of the delicate streaky pork and started to chew it big, praising, ”Not bad, not bad, it's quite tasty.”
Little Monkey smiled and said, ”Eat more when it's tasty. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat more in the future.”
Foreign Dignitary Hong laughed and said, ”Not bad, eat more. You should eat more.” Suddenly, he remembered the last sentence of the little monkey, and immediately snorted, ”Pestilence monkey, don't keep us in suspense. What do you mean we won't have any food in the future? If you have something to say, just say it, or fart.”
Little Monkey said, ”It's better if we don't disturb Patriarch Hong's interest in eating. Patriarch Hong should quickly eat more.”
Foreign Dignitary Hong was the most impatient one, so he immediately became furious and said: ”Just say it, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. You plague monkey, if you say half a word, it will irritate people. If you don't say it, then I will chop you apart with one palm.”
As Xiao Li listened from the side, he couldn't help but find it funny. An honored guest in the main altar was actually driven into a violent rage by the little monkey. This was quite a rare occurrence. This brat would grab on to the sore points of others to play with.
After that, he looked left and right before saying mysteriously, ”Patriarch Hong, lower your voice, this matter is related to your life and fortune, you cannot let others know. Furthermore, you told me to tell you this, if I say it out loud, you must calm down and do not cause any trouble, or else it will be too late to regret it.”
Foreign Dignitary Hong was stunned and said, ”What? It has something to do with my life? Is there something wrong with a plague monkey like you?
The little monkey said in a serious tone, ”Although I've been slightly ill recently, it's still normal for me to be without danger. However, it's hard to say if Elder Hong can survive this calamity.”
