In the back garden of Sufu, after Lin Yang arrived, he saw Su Hanlian talking with a white-haired old man, and the two naturally knew the rules of watching chess without saying anything, so they took as light steps as possible and walked into the pavilion.

Lin Yang didn't watch the chess game for the first time, but Yu Su Lun and the others stood still, he wanted to see the old man, so he stood behind Su Hanlian.

The two of them did not say anything about the arrival of Su Lun and the others, but just focused on the chess game.

Lin Yang looked down at the old man, and saw the person in front of him, his hair was white, and his face was already full of wrinkles, obviously not young.

Lin Yang secretly guessed in his heart: "This old man is estimated to be seventy or eighty years old, right?" The spirit is so strong, there is no sign of old dizziness in his eyes, and there is a fierce murderous aura in his eyes before he falls! ”

On the situation, the chess pieces on both sides occupied almost everywhere on the chessboard, at least each of them had already fallen hundreds of hands, Su Hanlian frowned slightly, and the jade hand of the fallen son hesitated, she was the first to take the lead, and in the situation that the old man had already given up his son, he was forced to be stretched thin by the other party, and his red lips bit lightly.

Finally, less than a quarter of an hour later, Su Hanlian was slaughtered by the big dragon, and the victory and defeat were instantly separated, she held a son in her hand, and slowly put it back into the chess box, with a touch of depression on her face, and said: "Grandpa Liu's chess strength is loud, and Hanlian is far inferior." ”

"Hahaha...... Han Lian don't be discouraged, grandpa is decades older than you, and defeat to me is nothing! The old man was obviously extremely happy, and when he saw that Su Hanlian was not very happy, he said with relief: "In the entire Xia Dynasty, although grandpa's chess strength is not as good as those grandmasters, but after all, it is also first-class, that is, sometimes, those grandmasters are not careful, and they will lose all the games, and there are very few women who can talk to grandpa without losing in the entire Xia Dynasty, and there are only one woman who can beat grandpa, and there is only one, you can fight with grandpa so far, you can be regarded as a woman with higher chess ability, and you don't have to mind because you lost to grandpa!" ”

"The one that grandpa said, does Han Lian also know him?" Su Hanlian's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she suddenly remembered a strange woman, who was the legend of the entire Xia Dynasty, the key was that she was not very old, and she was just like her. The old man bowed his head slightly, and said: "Exactly, that girl has a lot of wonderful ideas, and the ability to take one step and see ten steps is difficult for me, an old horseman!" ”

"If it's that sister, it wouldn't be strange!" Su Hanlian nodded her head, and then realized that her words were inappropriate, and hurriedly explained: "Grandpa Liu, Hanlian doesn't mean to look down on you!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!"

The old man smiled and waved his hand, signaling Su Hanlian not to worry, he didn't care, his eyes had already turned to Lin Yang, looked around him, showed a satisfied smile, and then asked: "Xiao Su, is this little brother the one Han Lian said?" The one that cooks deliciously? ”

"Yes, Liu Lao! It's this little brother! Superb cooking! Su Lun bowed slightly and said softly.

The old man bowed his head slightly, turned his gaze back again, looked at Lin Yang with a blank face, and a kind smile pulled on his face, and asked: "This little brother, I don't know if the old man can have some good taste and eat the dishes cooked by the little brother himself?" ”

If it was in the past, Lin Yang might have said that this is absolutely impossible, he is not a full-time cook, just a person he doesn't know, let himself cook, and cook obediently by himself, wouldn't it be too shameless?

Of course, in the face of this old man, especially the other party is still Lao Su's elder, with that Xiao Su, you can peek at one or two, this old man's seniority is much older than Su Lun, Su Lun is already a first-class official, a feudal official, and he is respectful to such an old man, which shows that this old man is definitely not small.

Lin Yang thought to himself: "It is inevitable that there will be some difficulties in doing business, if there is some strong support, this road will be safer, this old man is either rich or expensive at a glance, so that Lao Su can be so respected, he must be a highly respected person, wouldn't it be good to cook a meal and send personal favors, and open a way?" In a short period of time, Lin Yang was already thoughtful, so he gently bent down and arched his hand, saying, "I don't know what dishes this elder wants me to make?" You can talk to the juniors first, I will consider it, if I can do it, then make a dish for the elders to taste. ”

"Hey, your doll is boring!" The old man waved his hand again and again when he heard this, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Since you want to make dishes, how can you only make one, there are so many people here, you let my old man eat alone, it's embarrassing, if you can, the old man wants the little brother to make a table of dishes, can you!" ”

Lin Yang frowned slightly, thinking to himself that I don't know the taste of this old man, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to cook indiscriminately? is to bite the bullet and say: "This old man, if I don't shirk, there are no specific requirements, if the dishes you make are not appetizing, you still say a few dishes you want to eat, and the younger generation will help you make it!" ”

"I don't know what my brother is good at, how can I order it?" The old man smiled slightly, and did not have any dissatisfaction because of Lin Yang's attitude.

"......"

"Xiaolin, you can make some of your favorite specialty dishes, this elder won't mind!" Su Lun saw that Lin Yang was a little hesitant, and immediately said with a smile. Su Hanlian also lightly opened her lips, approached Brother Lin's side, and whispered: "Brother Lin, look at the preparation, Grandpa Liu is old, you can do it lightly!" ”

"That's all there is to it!"

Lin Yang bowed slightly when he heard this, and was about to ask where the kitchen was, but he saw Su Hanlian beckoning to the maid not far away, and when he got closer, he instructed him: "Huan'er, you take Brother Lin to the kitchen." ”

"Yes, Miss!"

The maid named Huan'er was lightly blessed, then answered yes, turned to look at Lin Yang and said: "Lin Gongzi, please come with the slave maid, the kitchen is in the courtyard next door, the kitchen utensils, cooking utensils, and ingredients for the dishes are all ready, and there are several sisters waiting for Lin Gongzi over there!" ”

"Then the junior will come when he goes!"

Lin Yang bowed his hand slightly to Su Lun and the old man, and then left this small courtyard under the leadership of the maid Huan'er, the old man's eyes had been converging on Lin Yang, until he disappeared around the corner, then he smiled slightly, and said: "This son has a good temperament, presumably he also guessed that the old man's identity is not ordinary, so he is so respectful, is he helping you achieve this plan?" Intentional or? ”

Su Lun heard the old man's question, and he also hurriedly bowed down and said softly: "It should be a mistake, I didn't want to involve him, I just admired the courage and astuteness of this little brother Lin, and wanted to protect him from Nangong Wang's troubles, but it was a mistake and pulled him in." ”

"Wrong?" The old man was a little confused, and thought: "Being implicated is a disaster that is not unreasonable, and it can be solved by a mistake." ”

"Grandpa Liu, this is the case!"

Su Hanlian saw his father, squeaked and whined for a long time without saying a word, so he took the initiative to speak out, and told Lin Yang about jumping into the Qinhuai River with his father in his arms that day, and then he escaped with his life. ”

"It's just that thanks to Brother Lin! If it weren't for him, I would have been more than lucky this time! Su Lun recalled the scene when he was assassinated, and couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for Lin Yang's wit, he jumped into the Qinhuai River on his back to save his life, I'm afraid he would be in a different place at this time.

The old man nodded lightly and said, "Since it is a life-saving grace, Xiao Su, you can't let this little brother feel cold, think of a good way to compensate for it!" ”。 When Su Lun heard this, he said yes again and again, but Su Hanlian on the side spoke quickly and said, "Grandpa Liu, didn't I tell you before?" I won't treat Brother Lin badly! ”

"I just said it casually, but in a high position, you must not let the people below chill their hearts, otherwise even if you have the ability, you will be "two fists are invincible with four hands" The old man reminded with a smile, Su Lun is naturally only, for this person's words, he dare not listen.

Su Hanlian saw that it was already rare to find a topic, so she took the initiative to say to the two elders: "Daddy, I know Grandpa Liu's preferences, I'll go and assist Brother Lin in cooking, you can accompany Grandpa Liu here to play chess for a while!" Grandpa Liu, please forgive Han Lian for not being well entertained. ”

"Go ahead, you go and get busy by yourself, it's enough to have your father with me!"

"Niece and granddaughter retire!"

spit out a sentence in his mouth, and saw the old man wave his hand gently, signaling Su Hanlian not to care about himself, and then sat down with Su Lun, picking up the chess pieces on the chessboard, obviously preparing for another game.

Su Hanlian smiled knowingly, confessed, and then left the pavilion with confidence and came to the kitchen helper at home.

The two sat down, and the old man motioned to Su Lun to settle down first, and said softly in his mouth: "This little boy is really as talented as Xiao Su you told, now that you are in charge of Jiangsu, it is time to cultivate some strength for yourself, this little brother is a good candidate!" ”

"Old Liu, Xiao Su is saved!"

Su Lun bowed solemnly, but he was thinking in his heart: "Single-handedly will only hit a wall everywhere, this Lin Gongzi is very good, if he can win it over, it will be of great help to the next plan, but I don't know if he is willing to be an official......"

Su Hanlian doesn't know how to cook, so Lin Yang won't let her do the cooking, so she just let her watch in front of the stove, and help herself sort out the firewood from time to time, Su Hanlian listened to Brother Lin's words, and naturally understood that Brother Lin was afraid that she would be hurt, she was still a little self-aware, Brother Lin didn't look down on her cooking skills!

On this day, Lin Yang prepared more than a dozen dishes, these dishes were divided into two parts by Lin Yang, with and without sea pepper, this is when Lin Yang talked to this old man before, he heard that this old man is a northerner, and northerners don't have to eat sea pepper as powerful as the land of Yunnan, Guizhou and Bashu, where Lin Yang is located.

The old man tasted it, Lin Yang thought that he would choose to eat lighter dishes, but who would have thought that this old man had taken a fancy to those Sichuan dishes, and he ate them with relish! From time to time, there were bursts of admiration, obviously extremely satisfied, and Su Lun also smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Full of wine and food, the old man's face was full of satisfaction, and he turned to look at Lin Yang and said: "Reading this delicious dish in the little brother, eating people with short mouths and soft hands, I heard that tomorrow is the time for the opening of the little brother restaurant, and I will send people to Dao Xi tomorrow, which will definitely help your restaurant attract a lot of guests!" ”

"In this way, thank you seniors!" Lin Yang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly hugged his fists to thank him.
