Cruelty is a derogatory term, but it is relative. Cruelty to relatives, friends, and innocent people is called inhumanity, and not being cruel to enemies is cruelty to oneself and one's relatives. People in the rivers and lakes, if they can't learn to understand these two words correctly, they will drown in the rivers and lakes sooner or later.

Looking at the two bloody stumps and severed hands on the plate and Li Muye's indifferent and cruel expression, Lu Shaofen suddenly realized that all his fantasies about the rivers and lakes and this man were outrageously wrong.

Li Muye looked at her, his eyes gradually warmed, as if he had returned from hell.

"Will you be disappointed?"

Lu Shaofen pursed her lips, nodded first, shook her head again, and said, "It's a little unacceptable, but I seem to be able to understand the reason." ”

Li Muye said: "Let's talk about it." ”

Lu Shaofen said: "If the two right hands are abolished, the two of them will almost be wasted in one body, so naturally there is no way to find trouble again." ”

Li Muye nodded and said, "That's good, but it's not detailed enough, I'll talk to you about this matter in detail, and after we finish talking, you can decide what kind of life you choose after graduation." Then he smiled apologetically at Zhang Na and said, "I let you see my brother's dark side again." ”

Zhang Na tilted her head and said: "People are in the rivers and lakes, I can't help myself, I am engaged in clinical medicine, and now I have been in the society for a few years, and I have no less knowledge of life and death, and I know that many things are not necessarily what we choose to do voluntarily, and each line has its own helplessness, as a younger sister, I just hope that the hand on the plate will never be my brother's." ”

"It's not early, I'll ask Lao Cui to take you back to the hospital. Li Muye said: "Don't worry, it's just that people have come to have a past grievance, I have washed my hands in gold, and today's things are by no means normal." ”

"I'm sure you'll take care of it. Zhang Na smiled lightly and said, "Ms. Shi Zhenzhen lives in Suite 9036 on the ninth floor of the Pacific Hotel, if you want to see her as soon as possible, Cousin Liu Qi will send her back to the United States in the next two days." ”

Li Muye said: "I'll visit her old man's house tomorrow after finishing cooking." ”

When Zhang Na walked to the door, she suddenly paused, patted her head, and said, "Look at my memory, I have forgotten the most important things." ”

Li Muye hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Na stretched out her little hand, palms up, and said, "Lend me some money, I can't open the pot." ”

Li Muye was stunned for a moment, and then his mood suddenly brightened. I secretly thought in my heart: my godmother had just left, but she didn't tell her because she was short of money, and Liu Qi had also come, and she didn't tell him. I thought that she would be completely disappointed in herself after watching tonight's events, but now, the first thing she thought of when she encountered a predicament was Brother Ono.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Na held her hand and said, "What do you want?" Do you still want to ask me what I am borrowing money for?"

Li Muye opened the cash register, took out all the tickets inside, and asked, "How much?"

Zhang Na said: "This month's salary is not a cent left to pay off the account, it will be more than 20 days before the start of next month, my personal expenses are actually not big, buy study materials, skin care products, occasionally eat some snacks, go shopping to buy a small object or something, seven, seven, eight or eight is enough to calculate three thousand yuan, provided that there is no accident." ”

Li Muye glanced at the money in his hand and said, "You take these first, and let Lao Cui take you to the ATM to withdraw some later." He casually asked, "Are you working here a medical cooperation project or a formal employee of the hospital?" How much salary do you pay a month, and how is it not enough to spend?"

"Of course, it's a formal hire. Zhang Na folded her fingers and calculated: "The standard monthly salary is more than 10,000 yuan, and the subsidy of 7788 is about 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, to say that the expenses are enough, but I am mainly on duty in the emergency department now, and I pay the rescue examination fees for comatose patients at every turn, some can be repaid, some can't be repaid, and I can't make ends meet a few people who are on account a month." ”

Sure enough, where is life not a river and lake? This kind of thing can be done by Zhang Na, who came back from the United States, and it is estimated that she has no friends in the entire hospital now. Li Muye smiled slightly, raised his hand dotingly and gently stroked the short hair on her forehead, and said, "It's okay, isn't there still a brother here, come to the house to get it if you lack money." Saying that, he told Lao Cui to accompany Zhang Na to get the money.

The four of them packed up and left one after another, and Li Muye and Lu Shaofen walked back side by side.

The streets at midnight, with neon lights shining in the darkness, are quiet and mysterious.

"It's not as bright as I thought, but it's still very romantic. Lu Shaofen looked at the neon lights that seemed to be dancing at the end of the long street and said with emotion.

"But it's more dangerous than you think. Li Muye looked at the dark night and the lightless sky, and said leisurely: "It's also much more complicated." ”

Lu Shaofen said: "I have seen the danger today, can you tell me what the complexity is?"

Li Muye said: "Let's take tonight's incident as an example." ”

"That guy was ordered to vent his anger for others, and he was not a life-and-death rival. Li Muye walked to the bench on the side of the road, first carefully helped Lu Shaofen find a position, then sat next to him, and motioned for her to sit down too. Take off your coat and give it to her.

No matter how strong a girl is, she longs for the gentle treatment of the stronger. Lu Shaofen crossed his hands in front of him, and his movements were slightly restrained and let Li Muye put on his coat for himself, and said thank you, Brother Li.

Li Muye continued: "Different levels of opponents have different treatment principles, since there is no enmity between life and death, there is no need to do things desperately, I left the right hand of the father and son, it does mean that they will lose the ability to retaliate in a short period of time, but the deeper meaning is to let them know that I, Li Muye, is not a soft-hearted person, and there is also a line for the way of heaven, to prevent people from being in the rivers and lakes, and everyone will have a narrow day." ”

"Leave a line for the way of heaven?" Lu Shaofen tilted his head in contemplation, shook his head and said, "It's so profound." ”

Li Muye said: "When they came to the door, they were aggressive, but have you ever thought about what the two of them will be like when they return to their relatives? A person who is willing to sacrifice his hands for his son, in front of his own family, most of them are not bad, they do this because they have no choice, they found me just for work, I did what I had to do for self-protection, this is enough, as for whether they will come to retaliate against me in the future, it depends on God's will, I have already explained to God." ”

Although Qu Shaofeng and his wife dropped their two hands, they also left a word of thanks when they left. Maybe that's the reward of the Heavenly Dao?

Lu Shaofen stopped talking, she was completely shocked by the man with limited education next to her.

This is a vivid and profound lesson.

It was a hundred times more exciting than any lesson she had ever taken in school. The content of this lesson can't be called rivers and lakes, nor can it be called Tiandao, she racked her brains to plan a name for this lesson. In the end, all thoughts were lost in a smile on the corner of the man's lips beside him. There are some things that can only be understood but not spoken.

How can a man know good and bad without having to do it all at once?

Lu Shaofen stared at it stupidly, and suddenly a bold thought appeared that she was afraid of, Brother Li, if you are Chu Liuxiang, I am willing to be your Song Tian'er.

Hong Wenxue's recent days can be described as bittersweet. In terms of official career, after being transferred to the Department of Land and Resources, he has always been wearing the hat of an agent. I didn't take it off until recently, and it should have been a moment when the spring breeze was proud, but I couldn't help it. With tens of millions of huge debts on his body, he has to repay huge amounts of interest every day, as long as the other party is willing, he can make the scenery he has at the moment come to naught.

Life under such tremendous pressure is simply not human.

In front of people, he still tries his best to maintain the image of a good leader of Wei Guangzheng, but behind people, he lives like a ghost, almost every night he has to rely on alcohol anesthesia to sleep, and he will have nightmares when he sleeps.

When he received Zhang Chengzhi's notice, saying that if he did this well, he would not only be able to write off his debts, but also get all the video materials of the deceived incident, this guy didn't care about anything, no matter what Longda Group he was, he was completely out of the way, as long as he could get rid of this kind of life of no one and no ghost, what situation could be worse than this?

••••••

When Hong Wenxue complied with the order to put obstacles in the way of Longda Group's port construction project, Li Muye was competing with Cantonese chef Fan Zhenhai in the kitchen hall of Shangri-La Hotel.

This is a battle without suspense, one is a chef who has been famous in the industry for 50 years, and the other is an amateur who has become a monk halfway.

The cooking skills pay attention to color, flavor, and shape, and Li Muye only has the most basic shape and taste, and it is far from being authentic. The three-month preparation period was all used to brainwash the young people in Tai Sui Village, because Brother Xiao Ye knew very well in his heart that it was simply an impossible task to rely on the fur obtained by his hard work in just a few months to resist the decades of immersion of other masters, so this kitchen drama was completely in the mood of participation for Li Muye.

The kitchen is small, and Li Muye actually has a deeper intention.

The old man tried his best, the big spoon turned over the fire, making the room full of aroma, the small pieces of knives playing with snowflakes flying, and the fresh sashimi cut like the work of the master carver, Brother Ono was so fascinated that he had long forgotten that he was one of the contestants.

Lin Xiangyu sat down with a middle-aged man, and couldn't help but remind loudly: "Boss, you are competing!"

Li Muye woke up like a dream, and laughed at himself: "I have long heard that as long as the three sects, nine streams, five elements and eight works reach the peak, they will each have their own way, and now I can see the real art of almost the Tao, how did this sentence come about." "Anyway, I continued to concoct my own dishes as originally planned.

Zhou Jingqiang smiled and watched by Lin Zhiyong's side. Lin Xiangyu's Lao Tzu appeared in this matter, which greatly surprised her.

This section chief Lin is not a small official, but he has a decisive influence on the Zhou family's catering business. In the past, it was the head of the imperial dining room. It can almost be regarded as the best eater in the world. With his identity in the catering industry, he came all the way to cheer for Li Muye, and such a move is intriguing enough. Zhou Jing looked at her words, looked up and down, and no matter how she looked at it, she didn't feel like she was coming at Lin Xiangyu's face.

Lu Shaofen also got an invitation to watch the battle below, and found that the old rivers and lakes were not only cruel beyond imagination, but also interesting beyond imagination.

Zhang Xiangui, a special culinary technician, made a guest appearance as the host, and at this moment he was introducing a small dish in Nanyue cuisine that Fan Zhenhai carefully concocted under his hands, a classic in Fuzhou cuisine: Buddha jumped over the wall!

Speaking of this Buddha jumping over the wall is very famous, it is said that the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanquan, on the way to the Shaolin Temple in Fujian, passed through the "Fujian capital" Fuzhou, overnight in the hotel, just across the wall of the noble official's house to "full altar incense" banquet guests, the monk smelled the salivation, abandoned the Buddhism door for many years of practice, jumped over the wall and entered a "full altar incense". Hence the name "Buddha jumping over the wall".

This dish originated from the people, but it was on the table during the Qianlong period. After that, it was revered as the pinnacle of farming chefs. The so-called farming chef is a special group of the Nanyue culinary school, known for being good at discovering the unique fragrance of ingredients, advocating natural taste, Leshan loves water, likes to take local materials, although the taste is done to the extreme, but there are few full-time chefs, most of them are farmers, or fishermen and hunters, and the dishes they make are the pursuit of the unity of nature and nature. ”

Li Muye listened attentively again, after a dish of old soup and white cut chicken was cooked lightly, he showed off his knife skills, looking fancy and dazzling, but in fact, it was not the right way to cook. If this kind of trick is shown off in those cooking show-off programs on TV, it can definitely be exchanged for a full house, but in today's occasion where everyone in the industry gathers, it can only attract a burst of secret contempt. When cooking has reached this level, it is long overdue to break away from the frivolous and exaggerated style.

Zhang Xiangui was embarrassed, and reluctantly praised it: young people's knife work is still somewhat basic.

Chef Fan was still busy in an orderly and very rapid manner, and Zhang Xiangui continued to introduce: "The ingredients and materials of today's kitchen fight, as well as the pots and pans of the guy on the desk, are all sponsored by Sihai Kitchen. After making the advertisement, he said: "You are all famous gourmets in the catering industry, everyone gathers together to witness the contest between Li Muye, the chef of the Haiqing faction and Fan Zhenhai of the Nanyue Wanghailou faction, which is really a fortunate thing for three lives." ”

began to focus on the guests who participated, and others returned it, and when Lin Zhiyong was ordered according to the seat, this Master Zhang was in awe first, and he seemed to be half a short time when he stood on the stage. "Dear friends, I would like to introduce to you the most important guest here today, the most famous gourmand in the domestic catering industry, Mr. Lin Zhiyong, who has been in charge of the imperial dining room for 20 years and has the reputation of a national taste manager!"

Lin Zhiyong stood up very modestly and nodded to the colleagues from the catering industry in Shanghai and abroad, and everyone gave him warm applause.

At this moment, several of Chef Fan's entries have been out of the pot almost at the same time, placed on a tray and handed to the judges' seats. Li Muye also pretended to serve a few dishes he had made.

Lin Zhiyong was the first to be invited to the judges' seat, and he was not among the original judges, but since he came, the others had to let Xian take a position, and he had to be the first. Everyone knows that this tongue in this mouth represents the highest level of foodie.

The first bite was Fan Zhenhai's stewed shark fin with vegetable gall, and I took a big bite beautifully. The other two judges also took a bite, but they were not busy praising and looked at Lin Zhiyong, waiting for him to express his position first. Lin Zhiyong remained silent, took a bite of Li Muye's white-cut chicken with chopsticks, and after eating it in his mouth and tasting it, he praised it loudly: Good!

Zhou Jing's face turned red in an instant, sweat flowed down his head, and only one question was left echoing in his mind: "Who is this Li Muye?"
