Chapter 109: Let's Take a Gamble
Looking at the shopkeeper who left in a panic, Helian Wei lowered his head and snickered at his lips, and then looked up and returned to his usual smile.
Seeing that Nangong Jue looked at him with a look of 'desire' and stopped, he picked up the teacup to cover the curvature of the corners of his mouth, looked at him and said: "Nangong Gongzi can say it directly, and it is not uncomfortable to hold it." ”
"Ahem!" Nangong Ju coughed embarrassedly twice before he said: "It's the first time I've heard of the dishes ordered by the girl, so I'm a little curious, I don't know if the chef here can meet the girl's requirements?"
Long Yin is actually 'very' curious, but he always has a feeling in his heart that the little guy is playing tricks, as for those dishes, maybe they are real, or maybe they are just nonsense in her heart.
Helian Jing took a sip of tea, put it down elegantly, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of his 'lips', and then said with a smile: "Nangong Gongzi should have confidence in the chefs here, since they dare to boast about Haikou, they naturally have two brushes, so we will wait and see." ”
After finishing speaking, his eyes turned, and he looked at Nangong Ju with a smile and said, "Nangong Gongzi, why don't we make a bet and see how many dishes this chef can make?"
"This ......" Nangong Jue looked at the smile on her face, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it, although he was also very interested in it, but he didn't agree immediately.
Helian Xun looked at his hesitant look, and continued to make persistent efforts to 'seduc' and 'confuse': "Of course, there must be a bet to bet, as for the bet, if this girl loses, this meal will be invited by this girl, if Nangong Gongzi loses, do one thing for this girl, of course, this matter will not be very simple and will not be a hurtful thing, what does Nangong Gongzi think?"
Hearing her words, the corners of Nangong Jue's mouth twitched slightly, she is really good at doing this business, and she really dares to say that she will not lose money for this kind of thing.
However, that's what makes it fun, and after thinking for a while, he nodded: "Okay, I'm betting that this chef can make it all." ”
Helian Jing's eyes flashed with a glimmer of 'essence', but his face was leisurely and complacent: "Okay, since Nangong Gongzi is so confident in the chef, then this girl will bet that he can't do it, not only can't he do it, but he will also come to consult this girl in person." ”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Long Yin, who had not spoken all the time: "Sect Master, you come to testify." ”
Long Yin looked at her dotingly and nodded: "This is natural." ”
For a while, there was a short silence in the private room, and just as Nangong Ju was about to open his mouth to break it, he suddenly heard some chaotic footsteps outside, which seemed to be coming towards them, and his brows furrowed slightly.
When I looked up, I saw Helian Xun leaning on Long Yin's arms with a 'chest' face, playing with his hair.
Sure enough, there was a knock on the originally closed door, and then the shopkeeper walked into the private room with a tall middle-aged man in his forties: "I'm sorry to disturb a few guest officers, this is our chef, he wants to ask this girl a few questions." ”
The middle-aged man immediately clenched his fists, and after signaling to Nangong Ju and Long Yin, he looked at Helian Xun and said with some embarrassment: "The dishes that this girl said are unheard of, I have never heard of them, and I don't know how to do them, so I asked the girl to give advice." ”
Helian raised his eyebrows, and looked at Nangong Jue with a smug look, as if telling him that he had lost.
Receiving Nangong Ju's helpless smile, Helian Qian turned his head to look at the chef: "Actually, those dishes are very simple, and the ingredients are very common, but the last dish really can't be made, this girl is just talking nonsense." ”
"Huh?" the chef didn't seem to believe what he had heard, and looked at Helian Xun with a smile on his face in a daze, and then realized that he had been smacked by someone.
His face darkened suddenly: "Is the guest officer deliberately embarrassed?"
Originally, because she heard Helian Xing say that the name of the dish she reported was casual nonsense, and Nangong Jue, who was full of black lines, frowned slightly when she heard the chef's somewhat unkind tone, but she didn't help.
Helian Xun didn't seem to see that the other party was already angry, and said with a smile: "Why should the master be angry? This girl doesn't mean to embarrass you, it's your little brother who said it himself, as long as we can point it out, you can do it, master, and he didn't limit it to say that you can't talk nonsense." ”
When the chef heard this, he felt that this was also the case, and glared angrily at the sweaty shopkeeper next to him, and looked at Helian Xing's expression softened a lot: "It is indeed our fault, since the guest officer said that the first few dishes are relatively common, please ask the girl to give advice." ”
Helian raised his eyebrows, stood up and said with a smile: "Forget about teaching or something, it's actually very simple, the so-called Qinglong crossing the river is just putting a green onion in a basin of white water, as for the latter two, do you seem to know what a potato is?"
Hearing this unexpected answer, the people in the room were obviously stunned for a moment.
When the chef heard her question, he shook his head a little suspiciously, and said truthfully: "I know what this potato is." ”
A smile flashed in Helian Ying's eyes, and he said seriously: "Actually, they are the same thing, and the next dish is naturally the same thing, they are all the same thing." ”
In fact, when she reported the names of the latter two dishes, she was just in a playful mood, and she was not sure if she knew the scientific name of potatoes or anything in ancient times, but she didn't expect it to be crooked.
"I see. After thinking about it for a while, the chef immediately 'revealed' an expression of sudden realization like Nangong Jue, looked at the smiling Helian Xing, and praised: "The guest officer is so wise, I admire it, then may I ask the last dis......h."
As for the flattery of others, Helian Xun didn't seem to hear it, snatched the tea he was about to drink from Long Yin's hand and took a sip, before saying: "This girl said, it's nonsense, but just about to say, it's not nothing, it's just that this thing can only be seen and 'touched', but it can't be taken down, and naturally it can't be cooked." ”
When she said this, it completely aroused the interest of several people, what can I see and 'touch', but I can't take it down?
Nangong Jue saw that Helian Xun didn't mean to say anything, so he asked, "I don't know what the girl said?"
Helian Xun looked at Long Yin, who was smiling helplessly at her, stuffed the teacup in his hand that had been drunk by her back into his hand, smiled at him, and then turned his head to look at Nangong Jue and the chef who were looking at him curiously, a trace of banter flashed in his eyes, and he sat down leisurely, 'touching' and 'touching' his stomach: "I'm hungry, I can't think of anything now." ”
Nangong Jue looked at her appearance, and suddenly felt that a breath was in the 'chest', and the feeling of not being able to spit it out and swallowing it was extremely uncomfortable, which made people extremely uncomfortable, which showed that she obviously didn't want to say any more, so she had to suppress the curiosity in her heart, and said to the chef next to her who had a similar face to him: "Since the girl is hungry, then please trouble the master to serve the food quickly and bring you all the signature dishes here." ”
"Oh, well, a few guest officers, wait a minute, the food and drinks will be delivered immediately. After the chef reacted, he quickly responded, and then exited the private room.
Long Yin looked at the person who was smiling like a stealing kitten, smiled dotingly, reached out and pinched her cheek, and said helplessly: "You!"
Helian slapped his hand away, rolled his eyes, and 'rubbed' the pinched place, although it didn't hurt at all.
Nangong Ju looked at the intimate movements, words and deeds of the two, and then saw that the age gap between the two seemed to be very large, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of envy in his heart, and said with a straight face: "Since the two of you are unwilling to reveal their names, can you ask a question next?"
Helian Jing took the tea handed by Long Yin, and after taking a sip, she couldn't help frowning and 'touching' her stomach, why did she feel that her stomach was full of water?
Hearing Nangong Jue's words, he directly threw a 'you ask' look and didn't speak.
Of course, Nangong Ju couldn't understand Helian Xun's eyes, so he looked at Long Yin who rarely spoke on the side with some puzzlement.
Sighing slightly, Long Yin put down the teacup in his hand and said with a light smile: "Nangong Gongzi, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Nangong Jue looked at Helian Xun and then at Long Yin before asking, "What is the relationship between the two?"
Helian Xun played with the hand of the cup, looked at Nangong Ju with some puzzlement, and then looked at Long Yin, and happened to meet the eyes that he saw, so he winked at him very innocently.
Long Yin looked at her innocent face, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head to see Nangong Jue looking at the little guy, his eyes darkened slightly, and he said ambiguously: "As you can see." ”
Feeling the change in the momentum on Long Yin's body, Helian Xun glanced at Nangong Jue on the opposite side a little inexplicably, and then looked at his slightly frowning brows, and suddenly understood.
He shook his head a little funny, rested on the table with one hand to support his chin, looked at him with a playful face and said: "Sect master, put your vinegar jar away, it's sour, don't worry, this girl is only interested in you, other men are like walking and talking wood for this girl, will you be emotional about a piece of wood?"
"Ahem, cough, cough!!" Nangong Ju, who was drinking water, was unfortunately choked and coughed a few times with an embarrassed face.
Looking at Helian Ying's disgusted expression, he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the tea and water, and said embarrassedly: "Ahem, I'm sorry, I accidentally choked, the girl is really 'temperament', which is admirable." ”
Helian shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, feeling the mood of the people around him getting better, and laughed unconsciously.
Long Yin didn't expect her to speak so bluntly, but he was very happy.
The food was served, and a few people didn't talk much, until the meal was almost finished, Long Yin looked at Nangong Jue and asked, "I don't know why Nangong Gongzi came to Tancheng?"
When Helian Xun heard this, he saw that Nangong Jue's face had changed, so he simply put down the bowl and looked at him.
Nangong Ju picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, his face became 'gloomy' and sad for a while, and he was silent for a while before he said, "I don't know if you two have heard of the frequent dry corpse incidents that have occurred recently?"
Long Yin and Helian Jing were shocked in their hearts, and they glanced at each other, and they both saw their reactions in each other's eyes.
A dark light flashed in Long Yin's eyes, then he looked at him and said, "I heard a little, Nangong Gongzi is here, could it be related to this matter?"
