Chapter 168: Old Man Marshmallow
Under Xia Lingyin's ears and eyes, Miss Ouyang Qian now knows that Wu Fei's worth has skyrocketed, and he is no longer the immature young man who needed to support himself before. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info so after coming to the shopping plaza in the city center, she did not be polite to Wu Fei, and went directly to an authentic French steakhouse on the second floor of the mall. This French restaurant is an authentic authorized branch of the French headquarters in Jianghai City, China, and the contents are very fresh, and the steak ingredients are flown in from the warehouse of the French headquarters every day. Moreover, the environment inside is elegant and exquisite, and you can enjoy piano music while dining, so the natural consumption level is higher.
Although Ouyang Qian's parents give her a lot of living expenses every month, girls, especially in this period, want to buy anything new they see. So often at the end of the month, her purse was already shriveled, and she needed the help of her good sister to survive the next few days unharmed. The eldest lady who even has a problem with daily expenses, where will she have the extra funds to spend in such a high-end place?
This time she finally seized the opportunity, and she naturally didn't want to let it go.
Seeing that Miss Ouyang Qian plunged into the French restaurant as soon as she entered the shopping mall, Wu Fei and Xia Lingyin looked at each other and smiled, and followed closely. For the two of them, it doesn't matter where they eat, as long as they can fill their stomachs. Now that someone has chosen a place, they don't have to worry about where to eat.
"Daddy, I want to eat that"!
Just as Wu Fei was holding Sally's hand and walking towards the restaurant, Sally suddenly stopped, staring at an old man selling marsmallows not far away with her eyes shining.
After hearing Sally's request, Wu Fei also stopped and followed Sally's line of sight.
A stumbling old man was bending his rickety body and laboriously manipulating the machine. Between her hands covered with the traces of time, a beautiful, unique rainbow marshmallow is gradually forming. Although the old man was older and full of silver hair, the movements between his hands were not slow at all. With each rotation of the machine, she took the corresponding condiment and poured it into the container in the center of the machine, and suddenly, a vivid rainbow marshmallow with colorful paint was successfully completed.
Marshmallows originated in ancient Egypt, where the ancient Egyptians extracted sap from the root of hollyhock, a botanical used to treat throat irritation and digestive ailments, and mixed the juice with honey to form a throat candy.
It was not until the beginning of the nineteenth century that the marshmallow was introduced to France. French chefs discovered that the mucus of marshmallow forms a thick gel when mixed with water, so he invented a marshmallow made by mixing the mucus of marshmallow with syrup, egg whites, and vanilla orchid seeds. Nowadays, in order to save costs and make mass production easier, the mucilage of marshmallow has been replaced by gelatin and has become one of the main materials of marshmallows. Today's marshmallows are candies made from sugar or corn syrup, whipped egg whites, gelatin softened with water, synthetic flavours and stabilisers.
And the marshmallow we see now, as a kind of leisure flavor food, often appears in major leisure and entertainment places, and is very popular with young people and children.
"Daddy, I want that"!
As a little girl who grew up in the United States, this is the first time she has seen such an exciting food as marshmallows. So, from the first sight of her, she was completely captured.
"Okay, let's go, I'll buy it for you".
As he spoke, Wu Fei took Sally and walked in the direction of the old man.
The old man selling marshmallows was only about a hundred meters away from Wu Fei and Sally's location, and he could reach it in minutes. Coupled with the actions shown by the old man, it really made people look pitiful, and Wu Fei let down his guard.
"Grandma, I want that"!
After Sally came to the old man's vending machine, Jade pointed to the rainbow marshmallow that the old man had just made, and said sweetly.
"Okay, I'll give it to you"!
The old man agreed, then turned to get the rainbow marshmallow on the iron rack. That is, the moment she turned around, a gust of wind blew from the gate of the shopping mall, lifting the ragged clothes worn by the old man. Something that should not have appeared on the old man's body emitted a shining light, which made Wu Fei's heart rush for a while.
"Sally, bow your head"!
The next moment, he reminded Sally in front of him.
"Dad, what's wrong"?
Hearing this, Sally turned around suspiciously and looked at Wu Fei with an innocent expression.
It was at this moment of lightning that the old man, who was still moving slowly just now, jumped out from the other side of the vending machine, took out a dagger hidden under his clothes, and put it on Sally's white neck.
"Sally"
Seeing this, Wu Fei shouted anxiously.
"Stand back, or I'll kill this little girl on the spot." Facing Wu Fei, who was about to move, the other party opened his mouth and threatened.
"Okay, you don't hurt her, I won't move".
In order not to let Sally be hurt for a short time, Wu Fei could only choose to compromise. However, while he appears to be compromising on the surface, he is secretly mobilizing the strength of his whole body, preparing to turn on the power of the wind and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy, so as to save Sally's life.
"My Son, I advise you not to act rashly. Since I dare to make a move in front of you, it means that I have already thought of a way out, and at most I will die with this little girl. I'm afraid this is not what you and I both want to see, right?"
Wu Fei, who was still planning to act, suddenly stopped his secret movements after listening to the old man's words.
Few people know about his identity as the Holy Son of the Heavenly Kingdom Organization, and even if they do, they are only a small number of people in the Heavenly Kingdom Organization and the Holy Shield Organization. However, the old man in front of him, Wu Fei asked himself if he had never seen it, but the other party also accurately revealed his other special identity, which made him have to act cautiously again.
"Tell me, who are you, and why did you kidnap Sally"?
Wu Fei, who calmed down, questioned the old man for delaying time, and contacted Xiao Hei to get the true identity of the old man.
"You don't need to know who I am, as for why I kidnapped her, it's because someone sent out a bounty of 10 million dollars, and I wanted to get this huge bounty so I did it, it's as simple as that. My Son, since you are the Son of God and have endless glory and wealth, why do you want to fight with an outlaw like me for the sake of such a young girl? To tell you the truth, in order to ensure that this operation is foolproof, I have tied about a kilogram of fierce ** to my body. As long as you dare to act rashly, I will detonate it immediately.
I know that your strength is stronger than mine, so I have no choice but to use this stupid method as a last resort, and I hope that the Holy Son will understand."
The old man said as he held Sally hostage and walked towards the exit of the shopping mall. Obviously, she also knew that Wu Fei was stalling for time. To be continued.
