Chapter 391: Cooking in front of the gods
The tightly closed wooden door, sparsely made some noises inside, several times, so that Sikong Yao's hanging heart could not be calmed for a long time. Then after a heated discussion, with a creak, the wooden door was pushed open.
Sikong Yao was stunned for a moment, then turned around, didn't expect Su Congshuang's shadow, but saw the Great Elder walk out with a displeased face, and said to Sikong Yao: "Outsiders." ”
Sikong Yao was slightly stunned, and then said without humility or arrogance: "What's the matter?" ”
The two looked at each other, Sikong Yao was not only weak in terms of momentum, as if he was faintly about to overpower the Great Elder, after all, the Su family still owed Minghe Restaurant an explanation.
The Great Elder immediately snorted coldly and said, "If the Su family loses money to you, it will be replaced." ”
Immediately, the Great Elder brushed his sleeves away, his steps were hurried, obviously not wanting to stay here for a moment.
The old man, although his temper is stubborn and arrogant, he still knows the severity, at least in dealing with the **** poisoning incident at Minghe Restaurant, the great elder will not shirk his responsibility like Su Yecheng.
After the Great Elder left, the people in the room also drove out one after another, obviously not liking to stay in this place. Until the figure dispersed, Sikong Yao did not see Su Congshuang's shadow.
When I walked into the house, I found Su Congshuang's appearance, and beside her, there were Su Yesheng and Su Jixing, who had met before.
Sikong Yao said softly: "From the frost." ”
Su Congshuang turned his head and responded, "Sister Xiao Yao." ”
Sikong Yao found that Su Congshuang's face was a little ugly, but he was still in good spirits. The worry in his heart quickly receded a little, and it seemed that Su Congshuang had not suffered much grievance in the previous clan meeting.
Sikong Yao shrugged his shoulders and said with concern, "They didn't make it difficult for you, did they?" ”
Su Congshuang shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay." ”
Su Yesheng said on the side: "The Great Elder is either an unreasonable person, or he has a somewhat harsh temper, and he has no intention of making things difficult. ”
Sikong Yao sighed and said, "What did you say?" ”
Su Congshuang sighed lightly: "It's probably a denunciation of my father, and then there is the election of the patriarch." ”
"The election of the patriarch?" Sikong Yao muttered, "Is it to elect the next patriarch?" So fast? ”
Su Yecheng went crazy and didn't have the mind to take charge of the clan. The election of a new patriarch is also a matter of great urgency. It's just that Sikong Yao didn't expect it to come so soon. The matter just happened yesterday, and a meeting was held today, and it seems that the people of the Su family have been preparing for this matter for a long time. Su Yecheng's reputation in the clan can be imagined.
Su Congshuang nodded lightly and did not answer. Indicates the default.
Sikong Yao regretted: "This is inevitably too unsympathetic......
Su Yesheng said on the side: "This is also a matter of no choice. After all, the second brother has done a lot of things wrong. The people of the clan had opinions about him. ”
Su Congshuang sighed and thanked Su Yesheng: "Uncle, thank you very much." Also willing to help me. ”
Su Congshuang, as Su Yecheng's daughter, rarely goes in and out of the house, and she is a daughter, so she is not treated well by the clan. Coupled with Shui Ying's matter, Su Congshuang also indirectly carried some public opinion. Ignorant people always like to count others behind their backs, chattering, sparsely reading, but not daring to say it out loud, causing a panic on people's backs and uncomfortable depression in their hearts.
Su Yesheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, Uncle has no reason to blame you." You have been very well-behaved since you were a child, kind-hearted, and extremely reverent to the god of the sea. ”
Su Congshuang tried her best to squeeze out a smile so as not to worry about it. In the entire Su family, after the death of the mother, it was the father and uncle who were the best for themselves, and Su Congshuang did not dare to forget. …
Sikong Yao then asked, "What is the way to elect the patriarch?" ”
Su Yesheng responded: "The selection of the patriarch by the Su family in the past dynasties was decided through the duel in front of the gods. ”
Sikong Yao was puzzled: "Cooking in front of the gods? ”
Su Yesheng nodded and said, "Well, the god-front cooking duel." That is, the cooking duel held in front of Tanah Lot Temple, the election of the patriarchs of the past dynasties, is in front of the Tanah Lot, the winner is the culinary decision, and the person who finally wins becomes the patriarch. ”
Sikong Yao asked again, "What is the topic of the cooking duel?" ”
Sikong Yao's intention is obviously to fight for some opportunities for Su Congshuang, she doesn't know the current situation of the Su family, basically except for Su Congshuang, no one will pick up this mess.
Su Yesheng shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the one who wins will definitely be from the frost." ”
Sikong Yao obviously heard a trace of unusual meaning in Su Yesheng's tone, which was not an affirmation of Su Congshuang, but a kind of helplessness.
Sikong Yao was puzzled: "Why do you say that?" What's going on? ”
Su Yesheng sighed: "The current Su family is not as good as before, serving as the patriarch means cleaning up the mess left by the second brother, who wants to do this thankless job?" ”
Although Su Yesheng's words were not listened to, but in reason, Sikong Yao was stunned in his heart, it is true that in this case, there will indeed be no one who covets the position of patriarch. Not to mention not to mention that you can't get any benefits, you have to clean up the mess, this kind of drudgery, no one wants to do.
So in the end, it will definitely fall on Su Congshuang, the daughter who pays tribute to the god of the sea and is also the mastermind who made all the mistakes.
Su Congshuang shook his head, stood up, and said, "Uncle, don't care. Dad's mistakes, I will bear the responsibility, God in front of the showdown, even if everyone doesn't want to participate, I will not forget grandma's admonition. ”
The old man's constant whispering words echoed in his ears, and Su Yesheng sighed and said, "May the sea god bless all living beings and be kind to all living beings." ”
Su Congshuang looked at the sea god in her hand and fell out of the gods, and the Su family fell to this, which made her heartbroken.
However, no matter what, Su Congshuang's admonition from her grandmother did not dare to forget, she was destined to be the only one who won the game, and she had to go all out, and she should not treat those innocent sacrifices who became the victims of this duel.
Su Congshuang asked Su Yesheng, "Uncle, you should know, right?" The title of the showdown. ”
Su Yesheng pondered for a while and said, "Ah, I know, I had a competition with your father." ”
Su Congshuang rarely heard his father mention the past, probably he didn't want to touch those unbearable past events, gambling and debt, there was nothing to mention. So for Su Yesheng's words, Su Congshuang said with great interest: "Have you compared with your father?" When was the last time a patriarch was elected? ”
Su Yesheng nodded and sighed: "Yes, but the second brother is really a very good cook, if he doesn't gamble, he will definitely be able to lead the Su family to get rich." ”
Recalling the scene of the duel that day, Su Yesheng not only sighed, but then sighed: "The second brother is really talented, although he is very unwilling, I still admire his cooking." ”
Su Congshuang muttered: "Dad's cooking, it's really delicious......
In this way, Su Yecheng was half stupid and half stupid, walking around like a madman, and suffering the cold eyes of the clansmen, which made Su Congshuang extremely sad.
Sikong Yao recalled yesterday's meal, Su Yecheng's cooking level, even in Minghe Restaurant, he can indeed be a chef, the knife work is neat and neat, the fire attack is accurate, and the spoon skill is even more cooking, and the spoon is perfect and seamless between several spoons, shaking the dishes into a full moon, which makes people applaud.
And it all happened after that meal, and it happened so abruptly that people didn't have time to react. …
Su Congshuang sighed and said, "What is the topic of the cooking in front of you?" ”
Su Yesheng responded: "Every time is different, sometimes it will be the same, in fact, there is no accurate topic, and no one has a proposition." ”
Sikong Yao was puzzled: "If there is no one to propose, how can the topic of the duel be decided?" ”
Su Congshuang also had this doubt, and said incomprehensibly: "There is no one to propose, should it be handed over to Lord Poseidon to propose?" Impossible, right? ”
Su Yesheng shrugged his shoulders and said with some amusement: "It is a bit appropriate to say that it is said that it is to let Lord Seagod make the proposition." The topic of the duel in front of God has always been based on the will of God. From dawn, the elders of the clan will wait in front of the Tanah Lot Temple, and the first fish to jump out of the water will become the subject of a cooking duel in front of the gods. The one I competed with my second brother was a hairtail. ”
Su Congshuang was slightly stunned and said, "Ribbon fish?" No way, it's a deep-sea fish. ”
Su Yesheng responded: "I don't know why, after the elders pray for the sea god, all kinds of fish will gather, and we can't say clearly. That's why I said that even if it was said that it was to let the Poseidon make the proposition, it was right. ”
Sikong Yao took a deep breath, felt a little incredible, and said, "What about the judgment of the cuisine?" ”
Su Yesheng said: "In addition to the three elders in the clan, all the fishermen in Qinglin Village where we are located will send representatives, and finally nominate four, a total of seven judges. Generally speaking, they are the Lin family who breed tilapia, the Tan family who breed fish, the Yao family who breed tuna, and the Zheng family who breed octopus. ”
Sikong Yao couldn't help but say, "So harsh? ”
Su Yesheng nodded and said, "In order to prevent the partiality of the elders in the clan, the proportion of outsiders is higher. ”
Sikong Yao glanced at Su Congshuang again, saw her hesitant, and comforted: "It's okay Congshuang, I believe that your cooking will definitely be okay." ”
Su Congshuang showed a smile and sighed: "It's just a duel for me alone, I don't have any pressure, Sister Xiaoyao, don't worry." ”
Seeing that Su Congshuang could think about it, Sikong Yao was also a lot more relieved.
Then Su Congshuang could have shirked this responsibility, as long as she cooked the worst cooking, but that was a blasphemy against the sea god and contempt for living beings, she would definitely not do it. And the mistakes made by her father, she also felt that she should bear it herself, what she didn't say in her heart was a debt to Sikong Yao and an explanation to Minghe Restaurant.
