Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 144 Try it?

Hearing the praise, Shen Fuyu straightened his back unconsciously, feeling very satisfied.

Her craftsmanship is no exaggeration!

"It'll take a while."

Shen Mengwu and Shen Mengning squatted aside, waiting eagerly with the servants. This scene was extremely funny in Shen Fuyu's eyes.

An hour later.

Shen Fuyu separated out some of the braised food and packed up the rest.

"Try it."

Shen Mengwu and Shen Mengning took the braised food and couldn't wait to eat it.

"It's so spicy! Sister, give me a glass of water." Shen Mengwu took a big sip of water, slurping it while chewing on the braised food.

“It’s spicy and delicious.”

Seeing Shen Mengwu and Shen Mengning enjoying their meal, Shen Fuyu was also very satisfied.

"Okay, just try it. We'll eat the rest together tomorrow when we go out for fun."

Shen Fuyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt very lucky that the weather was a little cool now and the food would not go bad if stored overnight.

……

The next day.

The entrance of the academy.

Master Li, the old man in black robe.

They had already packed their things and were waiting at the door, and many scholars rushed over with bags of all sizes.

The black-robed old man's face immediately drooped. "You are here to climb the mountain, not to enjoy yourself. Without anyone to wait on you, can you climb to the top of the mountain with so many things?"

Many of the scholars were young, young boys and girls mixed together, and when they saw the gloomy face of the old man in black robe, they suddenly felt a little scared.

"When the time comes, even if you can't walk anymore, you have to leave. I won't indulge you."

The old man in black robe threw down a word and ignored the scholar.

This little episode still failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the young boys and girls, and they started discussing it one after another. Only when everyone was present did the old man in black robe lead them on their journey.

Jiashan.

Maybe because the weather is good, many people are climbing the mountain.

The young boys and girls, carrying large and small bags, had only walked one-third of the way when they felt a little overwhelmed and began to sweat. They wanted to rest, but the old man in the black robe was so strong that he had no intention of resting at all.

Shen Fuyu sighed softly and stepped forward boldly. "Master Li, look, the scenery here seems quite nice. Why don't you take a break and enjoy the scenery? It's a rare trip out, so naturally we should enjoy it to the fullest, don't you think?"

The old man in black robe snorted coldly, but did not reject Shen Fuyu's suggestion. The young boys and girls immediately cheered and sat on the ground to open the packages.

"Shen Fuyu, you are so amazing. We don't even dare to talk to Master Li."

A little girl with chubby cheeks couldn't help but come over and talk to Shen Fuyu.

Originally, Shen Fuyu was very close to the Shen sisters, while the Shen sisters had a distant relationship with the students in the academy.

More importantly, Shen Fuyu is just an ordinary servant, so naturally no one would take the initiative to talk to Shen Fuyu.

This time, it was because Shen Fuyu took the initiative to ask Master Li to take a rest that the round-faced girl changed her opinion of Shen Fuyu.

“I just thought the scenery was nice.”

Shen Fuyu carefully considered his words, unwilling to have anything to do with the old man in black robe.

"Shen Fuyu, you're quite nice. I brought some peach blossom pastry. Would you like to try it? It's very delicious."

The round-faced girl warmly invited Shen Fuyu. "We brought some food too. Come eat with us."

Shen Mengwu noticed this scene and took the initiative to invite the round-faced girl over.

Shen Mengning had already spread the bed sheet on the ground, which was filled with fried chicken and braised food. The food that the round-faced girl had never seen before instantly attracted the attention of the round-faced girl, and she came over.

"Shen Mengwu, what is this? I've never seen it before. Is this a new dish from some inn?"

Meng Yuan looked at Shen Mengwu curiously.

Cheng Ziqi and Lu Mingtang ran over very consciously and placed the snacks and roast chicken and duck on the bed sheets.

It was immediately covered with food and looked very tempting.

Shen Mengwu raised her chin proudly and said smugly, "Shen Fuyu did it."

"We're the only family in the whole Qinchuan City that has this. You can eat with us."

Just a few words of conversation completely shattered Meng Yuan's preconceived impression of the Shen sisters.

Meng Yuan said shamelessly, "Then...can I bring someone with me? We won't eat for free, we've brought a lot of snacks."

"can."

Shen Fuyu glanced around and saw that many of the scholars present had extraordinary family backgrounds and were destined to enter the court in the future. If he made good relations with them now, he would also become the Shen sisters' network in the future.

Shen Fuyu gave Shen Mengning a look.

Shen Mengning smiled and said, "If you don't mind, we can eat together."

“It’s more lively when there are more people.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the teenagers put their things together, opened their bags and spread them aside, and soon formed a group of more than 20 teenagers gathered together, talking and laughing, sharing the food they brought with each other.

"Shen Mengwu, Shen Mengning, you are not that difficult to get along with. Why do you seldom talk to us? We don't dare to talk to you actively." Meng Yuan took the initiative to approach the Shen sisters, took a bite of fried chicken, and whispered to them.

Shen Mengwu felt a little embarrassed, a blush creeping up her ears. "Because you always laugh at me. I'm really not very good at studying, and my grades are always at the bottom. Although what you said is true, I am also sad. I'm just not good at studying, and I haven't done anything wrong."

As she spoke, Shen Mengwu felt a little aggrieved again.

"I'm sorry, Shen Mengwu."

"It's okay if I'm not well-educated. I'm not good at writing either. Let me tell you in secret, I'm not planning on taking the imperial examinations. I just want to study for two years and understand the truth."

"By the way, Shen Mengwu's fried chicken is really delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious before."

Meng Yuan's cheeks were puffed up as she chewed like a little hamster.

"To tell you the truth, I don't want to study either. If there is a martial arts champion now, I will definitely participate." Shen Mengwu supported her chin with her hand and couldn't help sighing. She missed the days when there was a martial arts champion.

such a pity……

"This is peach blossom pastry made by my mother. It's really delicious. I begged her for a long time yesterday before she made this little bit. Let's share a little bit with everyone."

"This is sour plum soup. It's sour and sweet, thirst-quenching and delicious. We've been walking for so long, we need something to drink to replenish our energy."

"I brought some meat patties from Zhang's Snack Shop. They're very famous. I had to wait in line for a long time to buy them."

"Luckily I brought a knife so I could cut them all open."

The young man's chattering voice continued to reach his ears.

Shen Fuyu curled the corners of her lips, feeling happy about the scene before her. She reached out and took some fried chicken and braised food, as well as some sour plum soup.

"Master, would you like to try it?"

While everyone's attention was not here, Shen Fuyu quietly came to the old man in black robe, lowering his voice so that only the two of them could hear it.

The old man in black robe leaned against the tree trunk and looked at Shen Fuyu in a nonchalant manner.
