Chapter 50: Meng's Qing Pavilion
The smell of disinfectant water in the hospital has not been very good, but it can't hide another aroma.
Meng Xiyao pointed to a thermos pot brought by Sikong Yao and said, "What is this?" ”
Sikong Yao proudly lifted the thermos pot, this time she wouldn't be stupid enough to stew a pot of fish head soup for the patient.
"Guess?" Sikong Yao smiled, her voice as pleasant as a silver bell.
When she got up and was sleepy today, Sikong Yao didn't have much heart to take care of her hair, so she simply took an orange hairpin and tied it, but she was not lazy, but a little childish.
Meng Xiyao shook his head, he was proficient in Western cuisine, but he didn't know much about desserts, so he naturally couldn't guess.
Sikong Yao deliberately asked again, "Then do you want to eat?" Oh no, I should say drink. ”
"Of course." Meng Xiyao naturally nodded, and this was obviously something that there was no reason to refuse.
Sikong Yao saw that Meng Xiyao was soft, so he looked like a competitive child, and said proudly: "Okay, seeing that you are so pious, I will tell you, this is this girl's secret ice cream." You're in for a treat, you're the first to taste it. ”
Meng Xiyao took the bottle and shook his head with a smile, showing half helplessness.
It's an ice cream, but it's a bit more appropriate to describe it as mush.
Liquid food is more conducive to the patient's consumption, and the amount of skim milk is deliberately reduced by Sikong Yao, so that the ice cream naturally cannot condense, and it becomes a smooth paste.
Meng Xiyao just took a spoonful, and the milky aroma mixed with a little walnut fragrance came to his face, and then he stepped forward to smell it gently, and it was like being in a mellow orchard, with the smell of coconut and banana.
The avocado adds a subtle pale teal color, simple and inviting.
Bananas are easy to absorb and provide sustained energy, coconut milk is full of protein and suitable for patients, and avocado, which contains unsaturated fatty acids, is a holy product for moisturizing the skin and anti-aging, which is most suitable for those who have just woken up to fill their stomachs.
A rich and cool dessert filled the emptiness in Meng Xiyao's stomach, and naturally it was inevitably praised.
"Xiao Yao, aren't you thinking about opening your own shop?"
Sikong Yao nodded and said, "That's natural, one day I will open my own dessert studio." However, at this stage, I still have things to do, and my skills are not up to par, and I am still far from the level of international masters. ”
Meng Xiyao was obedient and asked, "What are you busy with?" ”
"That's the transfer department, you know, the assessment of the dessert department is very difficult."
Sikong Yao then said: "And something happened, I still have to win the national cherry cup dessert competition." ”
Meng Xiyao nodded as if he didn't understand, knowing that Sikong Yao didn't want to say more, so naturally he didn't ask more.
Sikong Yao then changed the question and said, "Meng Xiyao, it doesn't matter if you're injured, right?" ”
"It's not in the way, in fact, it's just a little scratched, and I can be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon." Meng Xiyao said.
However, Sikong Yao didn't believe it, if it was really just a minor injury, how could it be wrapped with so much gauze.
Meng Xiyao saw Sikong Yao's guilty expression, so he said again: "It's really not in the way, and thanks to you, the academy also specially approved that I don't have to go to those annoying theoretical classes next, and I don't have to go to the next military training." ”
Sikong Yao glanced at Meng Xiyao, knowing that it was a good intention, and he didn't want her to feel guilty, so he was no longer distressed, but just kept this heart in his heart softly.
As fellow chefs, in addition to these small talks, there are naturally many common topics. As the last dish of Western food, dessert is naturally inseparable from Western food along the way.
The two talked from the Italian cuisine of the ancestors of Western cuisine to the table manners of the Merovinga dynasty in France.
Time flies, this is three hours, and the two of them do not feel bored, but have the feeling of meeting late.
Ending a topic about the French delicacy Paris lobster, Sikong Yao glanced at the clock and realized that it was past the meal.
Meng Xiyao only felt that the conversation was very exciting, lacking courtesy, and he didn't consider the feelings of the girl's family, so he was a little embarrassed, so he simply got out of bed and said, "Xiao Yao, let's go out to eat, I'll invite you." ”
Sikong Yao rejected his proposal and said, "You should rest more for this injury, whatever you want to eat, I'll buy it for you." ”
Meng Xiyao shook his head, signaled that it was okay, and insisted on leaving.
Sikong Yao couldn't resist him, so he went through the procedures for him to be discharged from the hospital.
Meng Xiyao is still a patient, so he naturally has to avoid heavy food.
And Sikong Yao suddenly remembered a light food, and proposed: "Xiyao, last time I ate tofu from a store, it was quite good, called Meng's Qingge, I don't know if you have tasted it?" ”
Unexpectedly, Meng Xiyao suddenly paused, crying and laughing.
Sikong Yao asked, "What's wrong?" Don't like it? ”
Meng Xiyao shook his head helplessly, and said, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I eat it every day, and I have long lost my freshness." ”
Sikong Yao's eyes widened and asked, "Do you want to say that the Meng Qing Pavilion was opened by your family?" ”
Recommending other people's things to the original owner, Sikong Yao felt ashamed to get home, and he couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground.
Meng Xiyao nodded, relieved her, and said, "But recently, my dad listened to my words and launched a new sake lees tofu, if you don't mind, I can take you to taste it." ”
Sikong Yao only felt that he had no face to see people, so he didn't mind anything, and said, "Okay, okay, that's it." ”
Meng's Qing Pavilion is a famous signboard in Shengyi City.
Although the store is small, only 40 square meters, two living houses occupy half of it, and it is a small family-style workshop.
However, the older generation in Shengyi City naturally understood that this was just the birthplace of the Meng Qing Pavilion.
The real reputation is also spread out in the city of ten chain stores that deal in a variety of products.
The store has long been hired to take care of it, and the owner wants to be quiet, so he lives in seclusion in this small alley, and produces some top-quality tofu every day.
And some people wanted to make it delicious, so they looked for it, only to find that there was already a queue of 100 people outside the door.
Meng Xiyao said to the strong man who was sweating profusely: "Dad, I'm back." ”
This strong man who is about forty years old is the owner of this Meng Qing Pavilion, Meng Ao.
Meng Ao laughed, his son was discharged from the hospital, so he was naturally happy, and when he raised his head again, he smiled even more heartily when he saw his son with this girl by his side.
Meng Ao said loudly: "Feng'er, Xiyao is back, and she has brought a beautiful girl, you can come out and have a look." ”
The woman came out of a room and said softly, "Xiyao, do you still know to come back?" ”
Sikong Yao was stunned for a moment, wasn't the woman in front of her the person who was arguing with him in Meng Xiyao's ward?
Meng Xiyao said "um" to Lin Feng, and didn't want to say much to him.
Sikong Yao felt strange, and although she was puzzled in her heart, she didn't dare to ask directly.
Meng Ao saw that something was wrong, so he smiled again: "Xiyao, it's rare for your mother to take a break today to bring you porridge, I didn't expect you to be discharged from the hospital so soon, it's really good." ”
Meng Xiyao obviously didn't know that Lin Feng would be here, but now that he bumped into it, he didn't want to stay longer, and said to Meng Ao: "Dad, give me a sake lees tofu, and my friend and I will go elsewhere to eat." ”
Meng Ao said helplessly: "Xiyao, don't be like this, where is the unsolvable feud between mother and son." ”
"If you don't give it, forget it." After speaking, Meng Xiyao turned around and left, not wanting to stay longer for a moment.
Before Meng Ao could react, Meng Xiyao left, and had to sigh helplessly.
Lin Feng said evilly: "This kid doesn't take me seriously anymore. ”
Meng Ao was also helpless and tightened, and said, "Xiyao, this kid has a stubborn temper, can't you say a few words?" ”
Sikong Yao followed behind Meng Xiyao, and had never seen him so indifferent, so he didn't dare to speak out for a long time.
After a while, Meng Xiyao suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked, "Do you have a lot of questions you want to ask?" ”
Sikong Yao didn't say anything, just nodded.
Meng Xiyao sighed and said, "She is not my biological mother. ”
Sikong Yao only felt that his scalp was numb, and he didn't know how to calm Meng Xiyao's emotions.
Meng Xiyao continued: "Adults have their own freedom, and I will not interfere with my father's choice. And he felt very guilty in his heart, so he accommodated me everywhere, but the woman was not pleasing to my eyes. I also have a half-brother, and I know that the woman wants to fight for her son's share of the Meng Clan's Qing Pavilion, so she squeezes me out at every turn. And I had no intention of inheriting the family business, so in order not to make it difficult for my father to be a man at both ends, I simply went to learn Western cuisine and no longer had a bad relationship with her. But she has always regarded me as a thorn in her side. ”
"I didn't expect the situation at your home to be so complicated......"
Sikong Yao didn't know how to comfort Meng Xiyao for a while, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
At this moment, Sikong Yao's mobile phone rang.
Caller ID: Uncle, Sikong Yi.
As soon as Sikong Yao connected the phone, Sikong Yi shouted out the words almost instantly.
"Xiao Yao, it's not good! We've detected that a player may have been imprisoned in the game for a full week. According to the ID login information, that person is in Xiamen. You're the only one who has had a deep contact with the original, and I want you to help scout! I have already sent the money and the ticket to your apartment, due to the suddenness of the incident, we have only arranged a double ticket, you have to find one more person, otherwise you will not be able to board. The situation is urgent, please be cautious! I'll get back to you for details, for now! ”
Before Sikong Yao could react, Sikong Yi's phone had already hung up.
Listening to the fiery tone, Sikong Yao could only sympathize with the busy and anxious uncle.
But it's too hasty to throw a burden on your niece.
And this double ticket is inevitably too funny, what kind of ticket does it have to be used by two people?
Sikong Yao turned around and smiled helplessly: "Meng Xiyao, don't you need military training?" Why don't I accompany you out on a trip to relax? Xiamen, is that okay? ”
