Chapter 192: Small talk

Gu Xiu did not want to hide the successful maritime building, and there was no need to hide it, because after testing the new qualifications in the Zhangshi Hall, the identity jade tablet would be displayed.

"Some time ago, I took Huamai Pill and successfully built the divine vein. This may be the reason." Gu Xiu said.

"So that's it, congratulations." Xun Yan had already guessed, but she was not surprised to hear Gu Xiu say this.

The admission conditions for Shangcheng City Lord’s Mansion, whether it is an inner city disciple or a Jiuyun Mountain disciple, are not entirely summarized by qualifications.

Like Gu Xiu, there are many who are not born with a divine vein, but are recruited as disciples of the inner city or Jiuyun Mountain.

From the outside, the kitchen hall is a huge oval palace with three entrances, and each entrance has a special kitchen.

Gu Xiu and Xun Yan are both disciples of the Qingxu period and can only eat in the first entrance hall.

Each table has meals to choose from for the day, including the disciples, so there is no need to spend the golden beads; there are also various delicacies that can be enjoyed at your own expense.

Seeing that Xun Yan only ordered the meals in the order, Gu Xiu had eaten with her for the first time, and didn't know her habits, so he only ordered the meals in the order.

"Junior Sister Gu?"

A slightly familiar voice came from a distance. Gu Xiu turned his head and saw Yu Chen walking to Gu Xiu and the others with a full tray in one hand. When he passed by Gu Xiu, he said, "Wait a minute."

Xun Yan glanced at Yu Chen's back and asked Gu Xiu, "Junior Sister Gu knows Junior Brother Yu?"

Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows, "Junior Brother Yu is very famous?"

Before, when she was in Zhaoxintang, she saw Liao Xin's attitude towards Yu Chen, she vaguely guessed that Yu Chen should not be an ordinary disciple of the outer city. After only three years, Yu Chen had already appeared in the inner city kitchen hall. Gu Xiu thought that Yu Chen had said that he wanted to enter the Tao with a kitchen. Perhaps he was neither a disciple of the outer city kitchen hall nor a disciple of the inner city kitchen hall.

It’s just for the sake of practicing and training in the kitchen hall.

"Junior Brother Yu is the only son of Deputy City Lord Yu." Xun Yan took a sip of the spiritual tea ceremony.

Although Gu Xiu thought that Yu Chen was not an ordinary disciple, he did not expect that he was the only son of Deputy City Lord Yu. Deputy City Lord Yu was a powerful cultivator in the early stage of Xuanshen. Yu Chen had such a big backstage, but he was not arrogant, which was rare.

"Junior Sister Gu!"

Just as he was thinking about this, Yu Chen had already delivered the dishes and ran over happily.

Seeing that he had a tray under his armpit, Gu Xiu walked to their table, bent over, smiled and looked like a waiter, Gu Xiu looked at him differently.

"Senior Brother Yu, have you entered the inner city kitchen hall?" Gu Xiu asked.

Yu Chen smiled and said, "I was in the inner city kitchen hall. The previous time, I heard that a mate disciple of the outer city kitchen hall was studying a new dish. It tasted very novel and extremely delicious. Then I went to observe it and stole it back to the teacher."

Yu Chen said, and glanced at the table. He heard that Junior Sister Gu was quite good at making clothes. Uncle Ban's three-fold illusion dress was made by Junior Sister Gu.

Now, I also heard that many people are going to find Junior Sister Gu to make robes. Since that’s the case, why is Junior Sister Gu still so shabby... Uh... simple.

Could it be that Junior Sister Gu has any hidden secrets? Yu Chen thought silently in his heart.

"Senior Brother Yu, what are you thinking? This is Senior Sister Xun." Gu Xiu had to remind him when he saw Yu Chen start to be stunned.

Before, when she heard Xun Yan's tone, she seemed to know this Senior Brother Yu, but Yu Chen came over and talked to her, as if she had not seen Senior Sister Xun. It was embarrassing, so Gu Xiu had to remind her.

Yu Chen came to his senses and looked at Xun Yan.

"You... are you Mr. Xun?"

Xun Yan nodded, "Junior Brother Yu..."

Yu Chen scratched his head, "I didn't notice you just now, don't be surprised. You call my junior brother, I'm really not used to it for a while... Hehe, see which pot I don't open to pick up? Uncle Xun, what's wrong with Li'er?"

"She is with her uncle." Xun Yan didn't seem to want to mention this topic. She said to Yu Chen: "Young Master Yu, don't call my uncle anymore. Now I am no longer a cultivator in the Sanshen Stage, and it seems unlikely that I will advance to the Sanshen Stage again in the future. Maybe in the near future, I will call my master to call my uncle."

Yu Chen was a little embarrassed, "Senior Sister Xun, what you said makes me feel ashamed."

"Young Master Yu is too modest." Xun Yan smiled faintly.

"Uncle Xun, Junior Sister Gu, I finally met you in the kitchen hall today. Wait a minute, I cook a few good dishes today, and you can help me try it."

After Yu Chen finished speaking, he ran away as if he had not waited for Gu Xiu and his two others to answer.

After Yu Chen left, Gu Xiu and Xun Yan started to have dinner again. Xun Yan glanced at Gu Xiu and asked, "Junior Sister Gu, are you not curious at all?"

"What are you curious about?" Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows.

"What Mr. Yu said just now." Xun Yan said.

"When Uncle Liu took me to Wutongyuan, he called Senior Sister Xun "Junior Sister". Uncle Liu is one of the leaders of the department hall and a cultivator of the Sanshen stage. Since he called Senior Sister Xun like this, there are two possibilities. One is that you two met Weishi, and this title was continued before. The other is that Senior Sister Xun was once a cultivator of the Sanshen stage. Later, she encountered a change and her cultivation level declined.

I was not sure whether Senior Sister Xun’s situation belongs to one or two, but judging from Senior Brother Yu’s performance just now, I think Senior Sister Xun’s situation should belong to the second type.”

After Gu Xiu finished speaking, Xun Yan didn't say anything for a long time, and Gu Xiu didn't speak again.

After a moment, Xun Yan sighed softly, "Junior Sister Gu is very keen."

Before Gu Xiu could say anything, Yu Chen had already returned with the tray full of platters.

"Uncle Xun, Junior Sister Gu, these are the clear soup, green buds, glazed white zhi, eight treasure lion balls, and red sauce fairy wings flying. They are all dishes I have only learned in recent years. You can try it."

Yu Chen said, placing the four dishes on the table.

Xun Yan smiled and said, "Young Master Yu, we don't have the money to pay for the vegetables."

Yu Chen laughed and said, "Of course I treat you to eat. Uncle Xun, you should call me junior brother. This young master makes me feel uncomfortable."

Xun Yan smiled and said, "Why are you so comfortable when you call me?"

"That's different." Yu Chen laughed, but didn't say what's different, "Uncle Xun, Junior Sister Gu, please try my skills."

After being in the kitchen hall for many years, although Yu Chen's craftsmanship cannot be said to be top-notch, it is still quite good, at least much better than Gu Yue's craftsmanship that Gu Xiu remembers.

However, it may also be related to the quality of the ingredients.

When I think of Gu Yue, I don’t know if she is still in the kitchen hall in the outer city.

And Gu Sheng, did he pass the selection trial that year?

I forgot to ask when I wrote to Gu Xuan last time, but these two people flashed through Gu Xiu's mind, and she didn't share more energy on them.
