On the way, Song Zixuan personally spoke to Ling Zhen, and when he heard that Ke'er was coming back, the old man was overjoyed.

At that time, I decided not to sleep tonight, until a few people came in.

Ling Ke'er also listened to Song Zixuan's words, and apologized to her grandfather on the phone, Ling Zhen naturally wouldn't blame her, it was better than anything to be able to come back.

After hanging up the phone, Song Zixuan smiled and said, "How about it? I didn't lie to you, your grandfather won't hold a grudge against you, but you are a little girl, you can really hold a grudge." ”

Ling Ke'er pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly: "Oh, second master, don't talk about me, I'm embarrassed." ”

Hearing this, Song Zixuan and Fang Rui both laughed.

For the next few hours, it was always Fang Rui who was in charge of driving, and Ling Ke'er fell asleep on the side when she was sleepy.

Song Zixuan, on the other hand, took this opportunity to continue to meditate.

Sure enough, as he thought, after a night's rest last night, today's meditation will not be very tiring.

He believes that in the future, if his physique gradually strengthens, the time spent meditating can also increase, and the efficiency will be the same.

Along the way, Fang Rui drove very fast, except for the speed limit, he basically drove to more than one hundred and sixty miles.

So this also greatly shortened the time, and before dawn, it had already entered the provincial border of Donghai Province.

It is less than twenty kilometers away from Nantai City, where the Ling family lives.

Nantai City, a villa on the outskirts of the city.

The housing prices in Nantai City are not high, but the price of a large villa is also more than 10 million.

Looking at the city, not many people can afford to live in such a house.

It is said to be a villa, but this villa is the largest in the entire villa area, not a simple small western-style building, but a huge courtyard with four three-story western-style buildings.

From the outside, it looks like a suburban manor.

Private courtyards of this scale, except for the cultural relics of Yanjing, are rare in other cities and suburbs in China.

In the courtyard, in a water pavilion, two young people sat and chatted, both wearing white practice clothes.

In contrast, except for martial arts, there are not many young people who wear this kind of clothes, and they are less stable than the elders, but they are more chic.

One of the two young men had a flat head and was a little shorter, while the other was taller and had a slightly longer hair.

"Senior brother, I heard that Ke'er is coming back, and the master is happy now. The flat-headed man said.

"Yes, I've also heard that the master is such a granddaughter, and when this girl runs away, it's terrible that the master is in a hurry. The tall man said.

These two people are both disciples of Ling Zhen, the flat-headed one is called Li Cheng, who is Ling Zhen's little apprentice, and the tall one is the second apprentice Zong Tianyu.

Among Ling Zhen's three disciples, Zong Tianyu is the most talented, not only mastering the dishes taught by Ling Zhen, but also learning cooking skills and self-cultivation, and comprehending internal force to control fire.

The little apprentice Li Cheng was less talented, and his attainments in cooking skills were not high, but because Ling Zhen did not have many disciples, he was not expelled from the school.

Among the three disciples, Zong Tianyu and Li Cheng have a better relationship, and Master Du Bo follows the master on weekdays, and has relatively little contact with them.

"Eh, senior brother, this time the master took the senior brother to the ferry gate, I heard that the ferry now has a dish called imperial fried rice, a huge fire. Li Cheng said.

Zong Tianyu sneered: "It's just a side door, although Dumen is a big city, it doesn't have its own cuisine, if you want to say orthodoxy, it has to be Lu cuisine." ”

"That's for sure, what we will know is the most authentic Lu cuisine in the country, but ...... Brother, I still want to go out and see what I want. ”

Hearing this, Zong Tianyu glanced at him: "Hold it back, there is only the senior brother in the master's eyes, nothing for us, let's practice the dishes first, look at you, you can't fry a beef tenderloin and still want to go out to see?"

The two were chatting, only to hear the other side lively.

The two looked towards the outer courtyard and saw a group of people walking in, and at the forefront were their master Ling Zhen and a young man.

Behind them were the eldest disciple Du Bo, Ling Ke'er and several subordinates of the Ling family, as well as a young man he didn't know.

"Senior brother, look, it's the master, Ke'er is back!" Li Cheng said.

Zong Tianyu frowned slightly: "Senior brother is really long-faced, he follows the affairs of the Ling family, hmph, I doubt that if the master is not good in the future, he will have to sit on the main seat!"

As he spoke, a hint of disgust flashed in Zong Tianyu's eyes.

"Senior brother, don't dare to say this, if the master hears it......"

"Hehe, if Master hears it, it must be your secret!" Zong Tianyu sneered.

"Ah, how can that be? I'm on your side, brother. ”

On weekdays, Li Cheng knew that his master didn't like it, and he had little contact with Du Bo, so he intended to get close to Zong Tianyu.

After all, Zong Tianyu is highly talented, and he may be able to get the master's inheritance in the future, and following him can always give him hope.

In the courtyard, Ling Zhen and Song Zixuan walked hand in hand.

This is naturally not because of status, in the Chinese food industry, there are probably no more than three people who can hold hands with him Ling Zhen according to their seniority.

This is because it is difficult for him to hide his liking for Song Zixuan, for so many years, he has only accepted three disciples, just because he can't find someone whose talent makes him surprised.

And Song Zixuan is naturally such a person, it's a pity...... I would have lit the moon with my heart, but the bright moon shone on the ditch.

"Hahaha, Zixuan, I really didn't expect you to find this girl so quickly, thank you so much. ”

"Elder Ling, this is what juniors should do. Song Zixuan smiled and nodded.

Ling Zhen shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "Not only that, Zixuan, you don't know my granddaughter's temper, she will actually apologize to the old man, I couldn't think of it before."

Song Zixuan immediately understood when he heard this, this Ling Lao usually spoiled his granddaughter too much, so Ling Ke'er was so pampered.

On the way here, Ling Ke'er also talked about the family, Ling Lao's cooking skills can be regarded as the level of a northern master, but Ling Yezi is not a chef.

In addition, Ling Ye's company affairs have been busy over the years, and Ling Keer has almost been brought up by Ling Zhen, and the next generation will naturally look pampered.

"Elder Ling, the main thing is that you are too fond of Ke'er, this girl is actually very sensible, and sometimes you still have to discipline it properly. ”

Ling Zhen nodded and smiled when he heard this: "Yes, sometimes the authorities are obsessed, and I, who is a grandfather, should also re-find my position." ”

The group walked through the main road of the courtyard and entered the attic in front of it, which is also a building in this courtyard facing the main entrance.

In the building, the first floor is a large hall, with wooden sofas and coffee tables on one side, and rotating wooden tables on the other.

Song Zixuan could see at a glance that these were all old Jiaozhi yellow sandalwood furniture, although they were not as valuable as Xiaoye red sandalwood, but such a complete set of furniture could not be ordered without 1.8 million yuan.

In general, the decoration here highlights two words: elegant and expensive!

"Zixuan, I guess you guys are also at this time, so let the kitchen prepare a simple breakfast, you are also tired, eat early and then rest." ”

Song Zixuan looked at the table of delicacies, where is this simple breakfast, but it is more sumptuous than Cantonese morning tea.

Donghai Province is rich in seafood, and lobster, abalone, and sea cucumber are indispensable on the table, as well as several traditional Shandong dishes around.

The staple food is steamed buns, noodles, pumpkin pie, fried rice, etc., and the table is basically full enough for a dozen people to sit around.

"Ling Lao is polite, in fact, coarse tea and light rice are enough, we won't rest, we will go back in a while. ”

Ling Zhen waved his hand: "Eh, how can this work, Zixuan, it is rare for you to come to me, and when you return to the ferry gate, it is estimated that you haven't seen you for a long time, I can't bear it." ”

Song Zixuan said with a smile: "Ling Lao is serious, the ferry to Nantai City is a few hours away, plus we can also communicate by phone, but it may not be that we will cut off contact." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's take a seat first, you're all hungry. ”

Soon, Ling Zhen called someone to call Zong Tianyu and Li Cheng over.

Ling Zhen introduced: "Hehe, Zixuan, Du Bo, you have already seen it just now, these two are Zong Tianyu and Li Cheng, my two fools. ”

Song Zixuan smiled and nodded towards the two of them: "Old disciple Ling, they can all be called celebrity chefs." ”

Ling Zhen said with a smile: "You two say hello, this is Mr. Song from Dumen, and the emperor fried rice that has been so popular during this time is from his hands!"

Hearing this, the two of them were stunned, not that they had never seen a celebrity chef, after all, in the Ling family, celebrity chefs from all walks of life would come to visit, which can be said to have broken through the threshold.

The main reason is that the two brothers were still talking about imperial fried rice just now, and the chef is here at this time?

But it's not unusual to think about it, what kind of chef doesn't want to stammer? This is a chance, don't stammer?

If you don't get it, it's still a scramble to apprentice.

Zong Tianyu smiled: "It turned out to be the chef of the emperor's fried rice, and my ears have grown calluses during this time." ”

These words were not unpleasant, but when they came out of Zong Tianyu's mouth, they made Song Zixuan obviously feel some hostility.

He just smiled and didn't say anything more, after all, this was the Ling family, he didn't need to be familiar with people he didn't know, and there was no need to be rude.

Du Bo, the eldest disciple sitting on the side, said with a smile: "Hehe, Mr. Song, don't mind, my junior brother is not accurate in his words, but the sound of this emperor's fried rice has indeed reached the East China Sea." ”

Song Zixuan nodded and smiled: "It's all rumors, just a dish." ”

"Zixuan, you hurry up and eat, take a good rest for a while, I don't dare to keep you more, but it's okay for a day, right?

In the face of Ling Lao's retention again, Song Zixuan also felt that it was difficult to resist the hospitality, and he finally nodded: "Then it's disrespectful, thank Ling Lao for his hospitality." ”

"Hahaha, the main thing is that I like you kid, and it's fun to chat with you!"

Hearing this, Zong Tianyu's face darkened.

It is said that among the three disciples of the master, he is undoubtedly the most talented, but usually Ling Zhen takes Du Bo with him more.

This already made him feel unfair, and now that there is another surname Song, he feels a sense of crisis.
