Text XXXVI. The Bitterness of the God of Food

By the time Tong Jingsheng dragged Hao Pingyuan to the courtyard, it was already past one o'clock.

Looking at the table full of leftovers, Hao Pingyuan smiled at Tong Jingsheng and said, "Director Tong, I know that there is a restaurant with authentic dishes. Otherwise, let's go ......."

Tong Jingsheng glanced at him with squinted eyes and said, "What restaurant can be more comfortable than the bottom of the grape trellis of the little junior brother?" After speaking, he ignored him and sat next to Ren Kai.

Tong Jingsheng laughed, followed closely, and said, "Yes, yes, no restaurant can compare to the shade of the lawyer's courtyard." I'll call and order food and have it delivered. ”

"What kind of meal did you order? Didn't you look at this table full of wine and meat? Lawyer Ren can eat, I can eat, are you nobler than us, can't you eat?" he said, pointing to the leftovers on the table, the fish only had tails, and the chickens only had bald heads. The key is chopsticks, only two pairs.

Lao Yu also stood up and said hello politely, but Ren Kai never even raised his head, only peeling edamame there.

"Look at what you said, my father was born as a cook, what is noble. I see that the dishes in this courtyard are the best ingredients, so I will show you a hand and taste the authentic Longcheng farmhouse cuisine. Then he went to the field in the middle of the courtyard to pick eggplants.

Wait for Hao Pingyuan to go away. Ren Kai looked up at Tong Jingsheng and smiled slightly, and said, "If you want to catch Kong Fatzi, just one Hao Pingyuan is not enough." ”

Tong Jingsheng grabbed a handful of edamame first, and then smiled at Yu Donglai, before turning his face to Ren Kai and saying, "Hao Pingyuan is an add-on, and he gave it away for nothing." The incident happened suddenly in the morning, and I was in a hurry to call you. Now that you are idle, you are idle, I will gossip, why did Brother Hu Yin pull you out?"

"Why don't I go down now and ask her?" Ren Kai smiled, and then said, "According to my understanding, since Kong Hongjun knows the Hou family, and the Tong family is in-law with the Hou family, you can directly find Kong Fatzi, which will save more trouble." Do you still have to persuade me with Hao Pingyuan in a low voice?"

Yu Donglai stood up and gestured at the two of them, about to go to the toilet.

Seeing Lao Yu walking away, Ren Kai suddenly turned cold and said, "Let's open the cup, kill or compensate, it depends on your skills." ”

Tong Jingsheng smiled and sighed secretly, in less than a month, he had changed from a senior brother to a shopkeeper, who made the situation stronger than others. He pondered for a while and said, "It is said that Brother Hu Yin has a son, but no one has ever seen him." I also happened to check Chongshan before, and I accidentally found something strange. ”

Tong Jingsheng knew that Ren Kai was a little impatient, so he also said bluntly, "Chongshan, although he has experienced a lot of things, his background and social relationships are simple, and it is easy to find out. He grew up in a small village on the border with North Korea and then served as a soldier, but the special nature of the unit in which he served was hidden. Then, it was picked from above and put in Jingrui. Theoretically, he has served the country for many years, and he should not be won over by Zhang Jingrui so easily. I have a very hard time understanding this. Money, beauty, and providence are also providential. This time I went to Chongshan's hometown, there was an old policeman in Longcheng, this old thing didn't do anything else when he was young, so he prostituted P. In the photo album of his hometown in Chongshan, he met a woman he was particularly obsessed with when he was young. As he spoke, he looked at Ren Kai.

Ren Kai's eyes narrowed, and he muttered, "It's really lucky." ”

Tong Jingsheng picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and continued, "This woman is Brother Hu Yin. As for how she came to Dragon City, why she didn't go back after leaving home, and how she connected with Chongshan, these are still being investigated. There is no conclusion yet. ”

Ren Kai said with a smile, "Chongshan is very likely to contact me next, so you directed this catch and release Cao." It's bad enough. Not like your style, Huangfu Xiushan?"

How could Tong Jingsheng slander his boss in front of him, he smiled and changed the topic, "I happened to meet Hao Pingyuan's wife to us, which reflects that he has been committing adultery with people for a long time and has some economic problems. So, I invited him back. ”

Ren Kai also smiled, knowing why Tian Xiaofang called. He asked, "Are the other problems serious?"

Tong Jingsheng shook his head and said, "Hao Pingyuan is a good hand at making money, but the source of every money is legal and compliant, and it is clean. It seems to have been instructed by a master. After speaking, he smiled at Ren Kai.

Ren Kai didn't answer him, thought about it, and said, "You don't have to hide it, punch the stick of the Red Army, I'm afraid that it is not good at planning, and when you see that you can't do anything, you will retreat to the second." Kong Fatzi has fought tigers in the mountains, and this little trick can't be hidden. ”

Tong Jingsheng nodded and said, "So, I have to trouble you." ”

In the kitchen, Lao Yu watched Hao Pingyuan roll up his sleeves and stir-fry on the tiger, a little surprised.

Whether it is turning the pot or picking the spoon, Captain Hao is very discerning and quite professional. There are already a few fried dishes on the side, full of color, flavor and flavor, and the appearance of Cuifu is not much different. This man is actually a misguided god of food!

The rural courtyard house, the kitchen conditions are simple, although the north and south are transparent, and there is a range hood, but the fire is too strong, and it is baked straight to the face. Hao Pingyuan was sweating profusely, glanced at Yu Donglai, and said while fiddling with the amphora pot in his hand, "I know you look down on me, but there is nothing you can do." Ever since my cousin left, a lot of people have tried to kill me. Some of them have been fixed by me before, but some of them used to be good friends. If I die, I die. Comeuppance. But what about my wife and children? Look at my cousin, the front foot walks, and the back foot wife and son make people tidy. I can't fall, even if it's a dog, I have to survive. ”

Lao Yu looked at the red flames and said in a daze, "You are too careful." One day, we won't be able to be dogs even if we want to. After speaking, he picked up two dishes and left.

Ren Kai just finished calling Kong Fatzi, he only said to let Kong Yanyan come over, and hung up the phone.

The three of them threw away the leftovers and tidied up the table. Rearrange the food and drinks, and wait for the beauty to go to the feast.

Under the pretext of looking at the dishes, Ren Kai came to the kitchen and was also amazed by Hao Pingyuan. He looked at the sweaty Captain Hao and said with a smile, "I can't see it, Captain Hao is still a skilled person." ”

Hao Pingyuan laughed while teasing, "For a while, I couldn't do anything all day, so I created a generation of food gods. ”

Ren Kai looked at the amphora that flew in his hand, and said lightly, "During the SARS epidemic in 03?"

Hao Pingyuan's hand trembled obviously, most of the vegetables in the pot were scattered, and he couldn't serve the dishes as he saw it.

Ren Kai walked to the side and picked up a broom, and said while sweeping, "Your wife was quarantined as a suspected case during SARS, and you took the initiative to enter the quarantine area and accompanied her for more than 100 days. It was commended by the city that year. Do you really think that everyone else is a fool? Do you think that if you find someone to play a scene, let your wife make trouble, and divorce you, their mother and son can sit back and relax? Do you think that if you hide from the world, they can really bite you to the death with the fat man?"

Hao Pingyuan slowly walked over and turned off the fire, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently.

Ren Kai looked at him and shook his head, picked up the fried vegetables, and said as he walked, "The wife of the bad chaff doesn't go to the court, if it weren't for seeing you and this side, I wouldn't need them." I won't be able to turn you over. Let's go. Kong Meiren should be almost there. Nothing needs to be said. Don't be afraid. Although Jingrui is about to fall, not everyone can come up and take a bite. Before he could finish speaking, the man had already walked out of the door.

Hao Pingyuan was surprised and delighted, since his cousin's suicide, the depression in his heart was swept away, and only gratitude to that man remained, and he even felt that he could die for him in an instant.

He washed his face carefully, cleaned up, and strode out the door.

Seeing Ren Kai holding two plates of dishes, Kong Meiren ran from afar to pick up a plate in her hand, and said, "Oh, I can't see it, there is a way to run a family." If you get married, you even have a good mouth. As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. Nodding as he ate.

Lao Yu and Tong Jingsheng looked at each other, and they clearly saw the ridicule in each other's eyes.

Ren Kai is also a man, although he rejected Kong Fatzi, he was in a good mood when he saw such a beautiful girl. He said to her, "Haven't you eaten?" Have you washed your hands? And don't get me wrong, this is Captain Hao's cooking skills. It has nothing to do with me. ”

How could Hao Pingyuan not see the girl's intentions, and hurriedly said, "The main thing is that Xiao Kai's guidance is in place, and I am a hands-on one." There is also lawyer Kong, this dish was just picked by Xiao Kai in the vegetable garden, pure green. I've been busy for you for a long time."

"Really?" the girl turned her head and looked at Ren Kai with disgust, half of her face was like rouge, and she couldn't be fathomed.

He originally wanted to refute, looked at the girl's hopeful eyes, and then thought about Hao Pingyuan's loss just now, smiled, and didn't speak.

The girl giggled, and the afternoon sun suddenly lost its color.

There are all kinds of people at this table, and they can't talk about business, so they can only talk about some idle stories. Fortunately, Kong Meiren came, which has already explained Kong Hongjun's attitude.

Yu Donglai and Ren Kai have eaten, and they sit here to accompany guests.

Hao Pingyuan was full of sorrow, how could he have the heart to eat, and he reluctantly gagged everyone to liven up the atmosphere.

Tong Jingsheng is really hungry. Throw off his arms, his arms are rounded, he eats and drinks at the same time, and others have to say two words when they drink, but he is reluctant to free up his mouth, and he toasts after a few squeaks.

Only Kong Meiren, who is always smiling, does not eat just drinking, and occasionally picks a few vegetables and chews them in his mouth.

Ren Kai saw that he had to drink a lot if he went on like this. Deliberately lead her to speak. He asked, "Didn't you eat just now?"

The girl laughed and said, "Yu Yanlai, that fat woman pulled Zhou Xiaoyuan's sissy and invited me to eat steak at Cuifu Western Restaurant." I ordered a bottle of ChΓ’teau Lafite, and the sissy's face turned blue. Haha, I ran out of the toilet and ordered another bottle for them. The girl was visibly drunk, and her laughter was a little uncontrollable.

Ren Kai looked at her and smiled slightly, "You don't even have the courage to chase girls, and you still call him a man?" ”

When the girl heard this, she looked at him stupidly, and said with a smile, "I thought you would teach me a lesson when you heard it." I didn't expect to have a tone with my fat daddy. ”

Tong Jingsheng finally put down his chopsticks, looked at Kong Meiren and said, "You are very different now than when you were a child." At that time, I remember that Nan Nan and Tong Tong played crazy with a group of boys in the compound all day long, and only you watched from a distance in a princess dress. The sixth child of the Mu family, it seems to be called Muyang, in order to attract your attention, he made you cry. His dad almost killed him. However, then your whole family moved out. Said to see a doctor. Later, it was Cuifu that blossomed all over the country. Your dad is famous, too. ”

The girl looked at him, pointed and said, "It seems that the old man is here, fill it up, and have a drink." He drank it in one gulp, and giggled on the table, as if he had a thousand jokes in his stomach, but he didn't tell anyone about it. Laughing and laughing, he cried inexplicably, crying a lot, and muttered to himself, "The long is the tribulation, and the short is life." That's a good saying. ”

Hao Pingyuan was the first to stand up, and said as he walked, "I'm old, I want to go to the toilet after drinking a little." ”

Lao Yu directly dragged Tong Jingsheng, who was stunned, nodded at Ren Kai, and left.

The huge courtyard is quiet and beautiful in the afternoon sun. A girl with long hair fluttering, chin propped up, drunken eyes looking at the man nearby, tears still on her face, but she was already smiling all over the country.
