The fast travel system always kills me

Chapter 224

Wei Zhi knew that she might ask, and already had the answer in his heart, so he said, "Princess Mingyue will not turn into a butterfly, she will become a phoenix."

I thought it was all right, but I heard Xu Gui said: "Is Princess Mingyue still dead?"

Wei Zhi's eyelids twitched and he said, "No, I'm talking about what if."

Xu Gui seemed relieved, and said, "Princess Mingyue can't become a phoenix."

Wei Zhi couldn't help but asked: "Why?"

Xu Guidao: "Because Princess Mingyue turned into a phoenix, there is only one phoenix, and only Princess Mingyue turns into a phoenix, so Princess Mingyue is alone. Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai have both turned into butterflies. They are still together, but Princess Mingyue is left alone."

Wei Zhi looked at Xu Gui and felt speechless.

Xu Gui sighed and said: "If Princess Mingyue really becomes a phoenix, then she must find a phoenix who treats her sincerely, so that Princess Mingyue is not alone. Otherwise, Princess Mingyue must not become a phoenix or a phoenix." Butterfly, do you think so, Wei Zhi?"

Wei Zhi: "Yes, yes."

Xu Gui and Wei Zhi tirelessly told one short story after another. Finally, shopkeeper Xu and others came back, and Wei Zhi heaved a sigh of relief and went to rest.

The next day.

Wei Zhi got up at the beginning of the morning, as did shopkeeper Xu and others. Everyone was busy with today's competition, and only Wei Zhi was cooking porridge in the kitchen.

Xu Gui also got up and ran over to Wei Zhi: "Is the porridge ready?"

Wei Zhi said, "It's just cooking."

Xu Gui said: "Then I'll watch the fire for you."

Wei Zhi said: "No, there is only porridge this morning."

Xu Guidao: "Aren't there any steamed buns?"

Wei Zhi said: "No."

Xu Gui: "Yes."

"But I want to eat pickles."

"I still want to eat steamed buns."

"I still want to eat pancakes."

Wei Zhi said: "The porridge is cooked too much."

Xu Guidao: "Is it really delicious to cook so much grain together?"

Wei Zhi put a few pieces of sugar into the pot and said, "It's really delicious."

Seeing Wei Zhi put sugar cubes in the porridge, Xu Gui stopped talking.

After cooking the porridge for half an hour, it finally came out. Xu Gui held the bowl and tasted it with a spoon, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Wei Zhi!"

Wei Zhi said: "Not bad."

Xu Gui nodded: "Very good!"

The shopkeeper and others also praised Wei Zhi.

Wei Zhi asked: "Master Xu, when does the competition start?"

Shopkeeper Xu said: "It starts at three o'clock."

Wei Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go out for a while."

Shopkeeper Xu said worriedly: "Young Master Wei, the competition is about to start."

Wei Zhi said: "There is still more than an hour, I will go buy something."

Shopkeeper Xu said: "What do you want to buy? Let Hulu buy it, we have to go to the competition place now."

Wei Zhi said: "Don't worry, I won't be late. You go first."

Shopkeeper Xu said: "Young Master Wei, you don't know where the competition is yet."

Wei Zhi said: "Then let the gourd follow me."

Shopkeeper Xu hesitated for a while before nodding.

Wei Zhi took the gourd to the market, and the gourd said: "Young master Wei, everything is ready, and there is no need to buy ingredients."

"I know." Wei Zhi said.

Gourd said: "Then what are we here to buy?"

Wei Zhi said, "Look for a pharmacy."

Gourd: "Drug shop?"

Wei Zhi nodded, Hulu was puzzled: "Young Master Wei, are you sick?"

Wei Zhi said: "No."

"Hey! Child! Why are you here!"

A voice suddenly sounded, Wei Zhi heard it familiarly, turned his head to look, and saw the scholar waiting in front of the mountain gate of Qingyun Academy standing not far away looking at him.

The question will start tomorrow, why did this scholar go down the mountain?Could it be that the dry food was finished and went down the mountain to buy it?
Wei Zhi said: "I live in Qingyun City, isn't Qingyun Academy opening the subject tomorrow? Why did you go down the mountain?"

Hearing this, the scholar sighed and said, "Oh, it's another day to start the topic."

Hearing this, Wei Zhi said, "Another day? When?"

The scholar said: "The topic will be opened in three days."

Wei Zhi nodded, it became three days later?This scholar can't lie to himself, can he?
Just as he was thinking this way, Wei Zhi saw a few more scholars who were waiting in front of the mountain gate of Qingyun Academy come over and talk to that scholar.

Only then did Wei Zhi believe what the scholar said.

The scholar left, and Wei Zhi took the gourd to find a medicine shop, and went in to buy some silver needles. The gourd asked, "Young Master Wei, what do you do with the silver needles?"

Wei Zhi said: "Oh, it's nothing."

Gourd was confused, but didn't ask any more questions: "Can we leave?"

Wei Zhi said, "I'll take another look."

Gourd is very worried and anxious.

Fortunately, Wei Zhi really just took another look, and then left. Hulu took Wei Zhi to the competition.

The competition was held in a very large venue, which was very similar to the venues of later generations. The ingredients were neatly arranged in one place, and there were all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

At this moment, countless people from Qingyun City or merchants from other places have arrived one after another. At the beginning, there were dozens of inns participating in the competition, but in the end there were only six inns left. Qingfeng Inn was temporarily at the bottom. Wei Zhi saw the cooks of the other five inns I have already arrived, and I should be the last chef to arrive, but there is still half an hour before the start of the game. A cook is drinking tea leisurely. Wei Zhi saw it and asked Hulu: "Which inn is that cook?"

Hulu looked over and said, "That's the cook of Juyi Inn."

Wei Zhi nodded and said, "Where's the meditator?"

Calabash said: "It's from Zhanyun Inn."

Wei Zhi continued to look over and said, "Where is the one standing with his hands behind his back?"

Calabash said, "It's from the Peerless Inn."

"Where is the one looking at the kitchen knife?"

"From Fengyun Inn."

"What about the one who talks to people?"

"From the Glass Inn."

Wei Zhi nodded and sat on the ground: "It looks like they are all masters."

Hulu said: "Young Master Wei, they are indeed masters."

Wei Zhi laughed and said, "The name of the inn in Qingyun City is similar to Jianghu School."

Hulu couldn't laugh, he was very worried about this game.

Shopkeeper Xu came, and Xu Gui followed, holding a book in his hand, and ran to Wei Zhi.

Everyone was looking at Wei Zhi. The cooks in other inns looked at Wei Zhi with disdain, while the common people, merchants and others shook their heads in disapproval.

Shopkeeper Xu was also uneasy. No one in the Qingfeng Inn felt at ease, only Wei Zhi didn't feel it.

"Young Master Wei, in short, just do your best." Shopkeeper Xu said.

If you lose, you lose.

Wei Zhi hummed. Shopkeeper Xu and Gourd had something to do and left. Xu Gui took the book and asked Wei Zhi, "Have you read this book?"

Wei Zhi said: "What book?"

Xu Guidao: "There are many idioms on it."

Wei Zhi said, "Isn't it a story?"

Xu Gui shook his head, gave the book to Wei Zhi, and said, "What do the above idioms mean? What does Miao Buxiu mean?"

There was still a lot of time before the competition, and he was idle anyway. Wei Zhi took the book and said: "Miao Buxiu means that the crops have sprouts but no ears. It also means that people have good qualifications but have no achievements." , from The Analects of Confucius Zihan.”

Xu Gui didn't expect Wei Zhi to know, he looked at Wei Zhi in surprise and said, "Do you know what the idioms above mean?"

Wei Zhi looked at it and said, "Almost."

Xu Gui asked: "What does it mean to be good at swordsmanship and hide it?"

Wei Zhidao: "Being good at knives and hiding them means that enough is enough, and you can restrain your talents. It comes from Zhuangzi's health-preserving master."

Xu Guidao: "Where you catch the fish and forget the trap?"

Wei Zhi said: "This means that after things are successful, they forget what they originally relied on, which came from Zhuangzi's external things."

After hearing this, Xu Gui looked at Wei Zhi and said, "Do you still know where it came from?"

Wei Zhi said: "Well, I just remembered it by the way."

Xu Guidao: "You are more knowledgeable and talented than sir."

Wei Zhi said: "Really?"

Xu Gui nodded.

Wei Zhi smiled and said, "Yes."

"I know what it means to accumulate wages in a house fire. My husband taught me that it is dangerous to put the fire under the firewood."

Wei Zhi nodded: "That's right."

"What about taking it as a standard?"

"It means the norm of things, or that people regard certain speech or things as their own norms."

Wei Zhi quickly explained the meanings of the idioms he knew in the book to Xu Gui. After listening to them, Xu Gui said, "Many Zhuangzi, who is Zhuangzi? Is it Ziyue? Mr. only said Confucius."

Wei Zhi said: "Zhuangzi is a Taoist, and Confucius is a Confucian."

Xu Guidao: "Taoism? Confucianism? What's the difference?"

Wei Zhi shook his head.

Xu Gui: "Why is it different?"

Wei Zhi told her why it was different, Xu Gui said after listening, "I don't understand."

Wei Zhi stopped talking.

Xu Guidao: "Who lived the longest, Zhuangzi or Confucius?"

Wei Zhi said: "Zhuangzi."

Xu Gui: "Zhuangzi? Why is it Zhuangzi?"

Wei Zhi: "That's Zhuangzi."

Xu Guidao: "But Master said, it's Confucius."

Wei Zhi said: "Then Mr. is wrong."

Xu Gui said, "Isn't it really Confucius?"

Wei Zhi said: "Really."

Xu Gui asked: "Does Confucius know Zhuangzi?"

Wei Zhi said: "I don't know him."

Xu Guidao: "Why don't you know me?"

Wei Zhi said: "Because there was no Zhuangzi when Confucius was here."

Xu Gui thought for a while and asked, "Who did Confucius know?"

Wei Zhi said: "Confucius knew many people."

Xu Gui: "For example?"

Wei Zhi said: "For example, you don't know."

Sweat dripped from the back of Xu Gui's head: "I don't know, and you don't know either, right?"

Wei Zhi said: "I know."

Xu Gui: "Say it."

Wei Zhi said: "Confucius had three thousand disciples."

Xu Gui nodded: "Who are the three thousand disciples?"

Wei Zhi said, "Go and ask your husband."

Xu Gui looked at Wei Zhi and said, "You don't remember, right?"

Wei Zhi nodded and said, "Yes."

Xu Guidao: "I don't think Mister knows all of them. What about the three thousand disciples? Confucius has taken in so many disciples. Does he remember the names of each of the three thousand disciples?"

Wei Zhi said, "I don't know."

Xu Gui said: "There are so many disciples in Qingyun Academy, and even the old gentlemen in Qingyun Academy may not remember them."

Wei Zhi said, "I don't know."

The game is about to start. Shopkeeper Xu took Xu Gui away. After an old man raised his voice and said a lot of nonsense, he explained that the game is divided into three stages. The first game started, but it was beyond everyone's expectations , not with pasta as the topic, but with tofu as the topic.

Shopkeeper Xu collapsed on the spot when he saw the question.

Everything is over!

"The shopkeeper!"

"father!"

Hulu, Xu Gui and the others hurriedly took shopkeeper Xu to find the doctor. Wei Zhi noticed it and couldn't help dripping sweat on the back of his head. He didn't believe in his cooking skills so much?

Wei Zhi didn't care about them anymore.

The cooks in other inns seemed to be able to handle it with ease. Seeing that the problem was not pasta, they didn't feel uneasy. They just started to get ingredients.

Wei Zhi is about to make the mapo tofu dish.

Everyone looked at the cooks of the other five inns. Wei Zhi went to the ingredients to get shallots and peppers.

Common people and merchants are discussing:
"This dish is not easy to cook."

"That's right, the staple food is the best thing to deal with."

"Isn't it true that the listening and speaking question is about pasta?"

"Well, I'm not sure. Maybe the theme was pasta at the beginning. The chefs of the six major inns are also thinking about pasta. Whoever heard the news may have passed it to whom, and it may not be changed temporarily."

"Which inn do you think has the best chance of winning? From my perspective, the one most likely to win is Wushuang Inn."

"No, I think it's the Liuli Inn."

"In short, Qingfeng Inn is doomed."

"That's right, Master Li of Qingfeng Inn is not here, there is only one child, and I don't know what kind of joke is going to be made."

"I saw it just now. As soon as the question came out, the shopkeeper Xu of the Qingfeng Inn fell down."

"Ha ha!"

"After all, the plaque for winning the competition was given by Qingyun Academy. It goes without saying how important it is."

"Hey, tell me, why would Qingyun Academy be willing to write an inscription?"

"Who knows."

The few scholars waiting in front of the mountain gate of Qingyun Academy also came. They were listening to others talking, and when they saw Wei Zhi, they were all stunned, "Who is this child?"

"cook?"

"The cook of the Qingfeng Inn these people are talking about is he, right?"

Several scholars didn't know what to say.

"Hey, look, that kid is going to catch fish."

When someone said it, some people all looked at Wei Zhi.

"What does he catch fish for?"

"do not know."

"The cook at Zhanyun Inn is chopping pork bones."

"have a look."

Wei Zhi caught a fish and put it aside, and began to chop green onions and peppers. Ordinary mapo tofu is not good, so we have to think about it. It takes half an hour in total.

After cooking the fish first, Wei Zhi went to find peppercorns. The cook of Wushuang Inn was getting peppercorns. When he saw Wei Zhi approaching, he smiled kindly and said, "Son, where are you from?"

Wei Zhi watched him take the peppercorns, frowned, and asked System 6: "6, this cook didn't come from time travel, right?"

System 6: [Boss host, no. 】

Wei Zhi looked at the man and said, "Yan Guo."

After hearing this, the cook of Wushuang Inn suddenly said happily: "I am also from the Yan State. Where are you from the Yan State?"

Wei Zhi said: "The capital city."

"I'm from the capital too!"

Wei Zhi: "Oh, what a coincidence."

"Yes, can you cook?" the man asked.

Wei Zhi said delicately: "Yes."

Would I be here if I couldn’t cook?
The man said: "Heroes are born in youth."

Sweat dripped from the back of Wei Zhi's head, and he went to grab the pepper.

"I haven't been back to Yan Country for many years, when did you come to Qingyun City?" He asked.

Wei Zhi said, "I came here a year ago."

"Is there nothing wrong with Yan Kingdom?"

Wei Zhi took the peppercorns and prepared to walk out: "No."

"That's good."

Wei Zhi hummed, only to hear the man say: "Since we are all from the Yan Kingdom, let me tell you how to make this dish delicious."

Hearing this, Wei Zhi said: "Thank you, but there is no need."

Hearing this, the man couldn't help shaking his head and didn't say anything else, forget it, even if he told him now, he would lose too.

The cook of Wushuang Inn didn't realize that he looked down on others at all. Mo Yan, who was standing with the merchants, looked at Wei Zhi and became worried.
