Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 54: The mountains are beyond the mountains, the sky is beyond the sky
Chen Xu walked in front, with an unnamed stream in the village next to him.

The gurgling stream meanders from the foot of the distant mountain, bypasses the scattered fertile fields, and flows into the distance with a tinkling melody.

The rural scenery is simple, peaceful, clear and interesting.

But that is often the case for those who are used to the hustle and bustle of the world and have their own thoughts and feelings. When they come down from the heights, they see the mountain villages as lively and lovely.

But if you ask the villagers who actually live in the village, it may not be about distant spring mountains and green waterweeds on the steps.

Mountains are a series of peaks that cannot be climbed over;
Water is a life-giving bond that needs to be fought for;

The fields are countless with faces to the loess and backs to the sky;
The smoke from the cooking stove is the gray smoke of melancholy that comes from not knowing where tomorrow will be after finishing today...

Having waded into this deep mud, when will we be able to get out?
Chen Xu walked silently beside the stream. He said nothing, but walked slowly with an unspeakable, silent power.

Cui Fu followed behind him in small steps, and was very patient at first. However, as they walked, the sun seemed to be about to climb to the zenith, and the Chen family's lunch was probably ready.

So just like that, say nothing and go back in silence?

This can't happen!

Cui Fu could no longer bear it, and finally said carefully: "Master Chen, my master has ordered me to take you to the city and ask you to stay at his mansion temporarily.

The host has prepared a bed for him, just waiting for Mr. Chen to come."

Chen Xu said: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. Unfortunately, I have already promised the county school teacher and my classmates to go to the provincial capital with everyone else.

My good friend has relatives in the capital, and they have already prepared guest rooms for him. I apologize for not being able to be there."

Cui Fu immediately said anxiously: "But I can't invite Master Chen, this humble man..."

"Butler Cui, we must obey all the promises we have made. Butler Cui, you can't ask me to be someone who goes back on my word, right?"

Chen Xu smiled slightly. He expected Cui Fu to say something like "If I fail to complete the task, I will be punished."

But there are some things that you don’t have to wait for the other person to say first.

Cui Fu was stopped in his tracks and could no longer argue. He could only frown slightly, with a bitter look occasionally appearing on his face.

After lunch was ready, the Chen family prepared two large tables of delicious food and wine and warmly welcomed Cui Fu and his party.

The wine was the one Chen Xu had just brought back from the county town. It was made with Fengli wine from Nanquan Lane and soaked with some blood agar.

Because the spiritual food recipe was not strictly followed, this blood agar wine did not have any clear spiritual food effect of enhancing qi and blood.

But compared to ordinary wine, the blood agar wine that has been aged and processed has a unique flavor. After long-term drinking, it is actually beneficial to the growth of people's qi and blood.

When you drink it down your throat, it feels like a stream of nectar entering your stomach.

At first it is mellow and rich, with only the smell of wine.

Afterwards, a warm feeling suddenly rose from the abdomen like a spark, and exploded in every part of the body in an instant.

The alcohol rushed to his head, making him feel neither drunk nor drunk, but a heat was rolling over his body.

"Good wine!"

Cui Fu drank three sips of wine, then suddenly slammed the table and exclaimed in surprise.

After praising, Cui Fu felt it was abrupt, so he looked around and saw that everyone at the table had already blushed and was praising the artist.

No one thought he was abrupt. Even the originally old and frail Mr. Fang suddenly became lively and energetic after drinking a few sips of wine. He was even quick and agile in grabbing the wine!
How can this be possible?
Cui Fu quickly signaled with his eyes, and a bodyguard at the same table immediately used his advantage of martial arts training to move his hands around and grab the items as lightly as if threading through flowers.

Hey, the wine jug in Master Fang's hand was snatched away with ease. Cui Fu took the jug and said with a faint smile, "Old Master, you are old, and it is really not advisable for you to drink too much. You should rest well. I should take care of the wine pouring."

Mr. Fang's old face flushed red, and he was about to muster up the courage to argue, but he saw Chen Xu wave his hand, and Chen An heated up two more pots of wine and came over.

"Everyone, a little drinking can be enjoyable, but too much can be harmful," Chen Xu said. "However, how can we let our guests enjoy themselves less? Rest assured, there will be plenty of food and plenty of wine."

He smiled and sighed as he spoke, "It's a pity that the ingredients for this wine are a bit rare, so I made a little less. Otherwise, I would definitely bring back a few pots for everyone."

He apologized but poured wine for everyone himself.

Mr. Fang could tolerate this action, but Cui Fu immediately looked terrified.

He was so frightened that Master Fang and Muramasa Fang Xinbai couldn't help but stand up and refuse.

As everyone was refusing, Cui Fu suddenly realized and said, "Master Chen, this wine... was brewed by you yourself?"

Chen Xu said, "I didn't brew it myself. I just soaked it twice. I added some herbs to it, which has a slight effect on improving Qi and blood."

"It helps to strengthen the Qi and blood. No wonder after drinking this wine, I feel warm all over and refreshed."

Cui Fu's face immediately showed an expression of being touched, and he started to praise Chen Xu as if he was free.

"Mr. Chen is so magnanimous and humble. I am truly ashamed..."

【Like +2+2……】

It is very interesting that Cui Fu drank the wine prepared by Chen Xu, and then he praised both Chen Xu and the wine. Chen Xu received a series of likes, and the number of likes was increasing rapidly with "2" points as the base.

Chen Xu looked at the Food Cauldron Heavenly Book calmly.

It turns out that the blood agar used to prepare Fengli wine is a spiritual material, so even if this wine is not a formal spiritual wine, it still has advantages when collecting likes.

In addition, Cui Fu's daily like limit is normally 20 points, but after drinking blood agar wine, this limit became 40 points on that day.

The same was true for several armored guards at the same table. Their normal upper limit was 10 points, but after drinking the blood agar wine, it became 20 points.

And so on, the rest of the people have the same proportion adjustment.

Chen Xu immediately realized that he had found a new path of cultivation.

No, this should be the most suitable way to practice long-term among all the ways of practicing to gain praise he has found so far.

Brewing wine, or preparing "fake spiritual wine", it turns out there are such benefits!

Chen Xu was filled with joy, and his face looked even more cheerful.

For a while, the banquet was filled with wine and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Cui Fu, who originally had a two-faced face and put on airs in front of Mr. Fang and others, but was humble and respectful in front of Chen Xu and the Chen family, gradually relaxed.

He began to talk a lot, occasionally telling various interesting things about the city.

Sometimes he also mentioned the power and prestige of the Yunjiang Cui family. Although his words seemed to be boasting about the master family, they also revealed a lot of useful information.

The guards clinked glasses and even though they were used to being silent, they would occasionally respond to Cui Fu's words.

While Chen Xu was looking at the newly appeared [Like +2] on the Food Cauldron Heavenly Book, he was silently receiving various messages.
