Chapter 4: I've Seen the Tip of the Tongue

After Fan Yu's words were finished, his stomach was also angry, and he grunted.

Stepmother Li couldn't help laughing and said, "You kid, tell your mother what kind of jokes, make me happy." Later, my mother will go to Liu's to borrow some rice and noodles first, and let's make do with this meal first. ”

Seeing that his stepmother didn't believe it, Fan Yu had to persuade: "Mother can rest assured that if you go to the town with your child, you will go to that Taibai Mansion to ensure that your mother is satisfied with her food." ”

Hearing that Fan Yu didn't seem to be telling a lie, Granny Li couldn't help frowning and said, "Son, do you still have valuable things on you that can be pawned?" Don't be a big loser, wait a few days, my mother will give you a daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be good for you to keep your life. What is too white building, my mother will resolutely not go. ”

Fan Yu was hungry and uncomfortable at this time, but when he saw that his stepmother refused to leave, he could only explain patiently.

"Mother, don't worry, the child was kicked out of the house by Fan Lian, and now he is penniless, how can he have anything valuable. It's the clothes on the body, and when you do, you don't have to wear it. I have my own ability, and I don't let my mother down. Fan Yu pulled Granny Li's sleeve and said.

"Mother has watched you grow up since she was a child, in addition to cleaning up the fields, what are your ability to make money?" Granny Li asked curiously.

Fan Yu saw that his mother-in-law's attitude was loose, so he smiled and said: "Let's not talk about it now, when I get to Taibai Building, my mother will naturally know." ”

Granny Li's face turned solemn and said, "Don't you want to take your mother to eat the overlord meal?" My mother advises you not to take such a crooked ramp, and my mother can't give up this face. If you have a bad reputation, your mother will be worse than death, and you can't do such a thing! ”

"Don't worry, mother." Fan Yu stepped forward and took the arm of his stepmother-in-law, Granny Li, and said, "The child can't afford to lose this person, and when you get to Taibai Building, you will naturally know." ”

She refused to go if she wanted to live or die, but Granny Li was really afraid that Fan Yu would go to Taibai Mansion to touch porcelain and eat white food. After hesitating, he decided to go with Fan Yu. If this righteous son really wants to do something shameless, she can teach her a lesson and stop it, and she can't let this child learn badly.

After these things at noon, it was about to pass by noon.

Fan Yu led his stepmother-in-law, Granny Li, to Taibai Building, and in the lobby of the restaurant, there was only one young guest left. Looking at the staggered cups and plates on the table, as well as the lazy state of the diners, it is obvious that they are about to disperse.

"Two guests, but you want to eat in the restaurant? Inside please! The guy in the Taibai Building, when he saw Fan Yu and Granny Li coming to the door of the store, immediately stepped forward and greeted him warmly.

Granny Li didn't say anything, she wanted to see how her righteous son invited her to this meal.

Fan Yu didn't have a penny in his arms, and he didn't have enough confidence in his heart. But I can't show cowardice, otherwise I won't be able to do this today.

Haha laughed, Fan Yu said loudly: "Yes, the town is still a little like your Taibai Building, so I will eat here." ”

When the guy saw the business coming to the door, he was even more attentive, "The two of you can go upstairs and take a seat, although our Caoqiao Town is not a big place, but the scenery is also very impressive." Even if you don't look at the scenery, this breeze is also refreshing. ”

Fan Yu didn't say anything, but the only remaining guest in the lobby started talking.

The guest was a handsome young man in his twenties, and he smiled: "Hundreds of miles outside Caoqiao Town are flat rivers, and there is no scenery except for crops. ”

The guy reacted quickly, and said with a smile: "The guests are smiling, the second floor is just open-minded, which can make people more relaxed." ”

Fan Yu nodded and said to the young guest: "This eldest brother, I just have a light meal with my stepmother, so I don't need to be too particular." ”

At this time, although Fan Yu was only fifteen years old on the outside, he was an officer of the village committee in his heart, and he seemed to be calm, neither humble nor arrogant, which surprised the young man.

"In that case, you mothers and sons, please." The young man also felt that there was no need to talk deeply about the meeting in Pingshui, so he ignored Fan Yu after speaking.

When passing by the young man's table, Fan Yu took a closer look at the dishes on the other party's table and couldn't help frowning.

Stepmother Granny Li had cataracts, so she couldn't see Fan Yu's expression, but the guys from Taibai Mansion and the young man could see the look on his face.

The guy smiled and asked, "Why are the guests frowning, isn't there something dissatisfied?" ”

Fan Yu pointed to a few dishes in front of the young man, "Taibai Lou's craftsmanship is like this, the back kitchen is probably not the master chef from Bianliang." ”

"Yo, you're good eyebrow, guest." The guy felt that Fan Yu was finding fault, so he said with a mocking expression: "Our master of Taibai Mansion is really from Bianliang." These dishes, although they are not the master's best, are not worse than the best restaurants in the state capital. ”

Shaking his head, Fan Yu glanced at his stepmother Granny Li with a look of hesitation, and then said to the guy: "I just recognized my stepmother today, so I want to have a light meal in Taibai Building to celebrate." Since the store doesn't like to listen to my words, then I won't judge the master of your store at will. The dishes are not in line with my mother and son's wishes, and I am afraid that my mother-in-law will not be used to eating them. I just want to borrow the back kitchen of your store for one use, I don't know if the store can be accommodating. ”

The young guest heard the conversation between Fan Yu and his buddy, and couldn't help but be aroused.

When he saw that the guys in Taibai Lou were hesitating, he smiled and said, "Ouch, you guys in Taibai Lou have encountered a smashing field." However, since this little brother wants to show his hand, you have nothing to fear. If you cook a good dish, you can leave a good conversation. If you are not as good as the master of your shop, it can also show your strength in Taibailou. This little brother is also cooking for his stepmother, and this kind of filial piety is worthy of praise. Why don't I be a middle-aged person and give you a witness? ”

The man hesitated for a moment, and when he heard that the young man had some truth, he arched his hand and said, "I have to ask my shopkeeper." ”

"Ask, ask." The young man smiled and waved his hand.

As soon as the guy left, Fan Yu bowed his hand to the young man, "This big brother, I don't mean to compare skills with Taibai Lou." It's just to let the stepmother enjoy the blessings of the mouth, and there is nothing else. ”

The young man glanced at Fan Yu and his stepmother Granny Li behind him, the two of them were old and young, although they were not well dressed, but this bearing did not seem to be simple.

He was a little unsure, but he didn't think much about it, "It's okay, even if you cook for your stepmother, if Tai Bailou is unreasonable and bullies your mother and son, I will deal with it." ”

Mother-in-law Li was up and down in her heart at this time, secretly slandering herself, what I am most afraid of is that my righteous son is unreasonable, can you deal with it?

After a while, the guy led an old man in his fifties out, "Rank, this is the Wu shopkeeper of our Taibai Building, the shopkeeper has agreed to borrow the kitchen, which is the vegetables and meat in the back kitchen, if it is not wasted, it can be used." ”

The shopkeeper Wu smiled and said to Fan Yu: "Little brother, although we are harmonious and wealthy, we have ugly words ahead." If the little brother's food is not as good as our master, you can apologize afterwards and pay for the food. If it's really good, then this light meal should be our Taibai Mansion to invite the little brother, mother and son, how about it. ”

Fan Yu was a food lover in his previous life, not only loved to eat, but also loved to cook, how could he be afraid of this. He despised it in his heart, you don't know much about the food of later generations, but I have also seen China on the tip of my tongue.
