Chapter 373: Leisurely
After chatting for a while, Steward Zhong came in from outside, "Master, dinner is ready." ”
"Hehe, Dean Zheng, Superintendent Zheng, you should be hungry at this time, right? My family has hired a new cook, I don't know how the craftsmanship is, can the two of them help to comment? Lin Baoliang asked the Zheng brothers with a smile.
"Lin Lao, you are a well-known gourmet, you don't get tired of eating, you don't get tired of eating, the chef who can enter your eyes and take charge of the kitchen in the house must not be an ordinary person, there must be stunts, my brothers and sisters are blessed today." Zheng Jifu smiled - this is a visit at the appointed time, the Lin family is going to prepare a dinner party, it is certain, and the opportunity to sit and eat with Lin Baoliang cannot be bought with money, of course he will not let it go.
"Hehe, then there is Lao Eryi. By the way, I called the two children too, and I heard that the child likes seafood every day, and I specially prepared something good for him today. Lin Baoliang stood up with a smile, and while walking out, he specially instructed Steward Zhong.
"Yes." Steward Zhong was ordered to walk briskly to the backyard.
"Old Lin, have you also heard about the troubles when you first entered the school every day?" Hearing Lin Baoliang say this, Zheng Jifu asked with a smile, it has been more than two years since that incident, and I still think it is very interesting in retrospect.
"Hehe, yes, he was only six years old at the time, right? However, being able to stick to a game of chess at that age should be called more anecdotal, in my opinion. Lin Baoliang smiled - whether a thing is good or bad, many times it is only in a thought, just like two sides of a mirror, what you see often depends on which side you stand on to see.
"What Lin Lao said is extremely true, extraordinary people can do extraordinary things, small to see big, every day that child's willpower is really good, at that time, I am afraid that most adults may not be able to do it." Zheng Jigong agreed.
"Hehe, having said that, but I heard Zicong say that since then, I almost don't dare to eat seafood every day. I guess I'm sick in my heart, and more than two years have passed, and I don't know if it's better now. Lin Baoliang said with a smile.
"I think it should be no problem, it will be upset at that time, the main reason is that I just came to Yangzhou, I am not adapted, and my body reacts greatly, and now I have lived in Yangzhou for two years, and I have already adapted to the diet here, as long as I am not overeating. If you eat too much, you shouldn't have such a big reaction. Zheng Jifu said with a smile - the so-called local customs, children's adaptability is actually stronger than adults, two years, there are too many things that can be changed.
A group of people came to the restaurant with a smile and laughter, the meal had already been prepared, and before entering the house, they had already smelled the strong aroma of vegetables, and a round table was full of all kinds of dishes. Frying, cooking, frying, boiling, stewing, cooking, cold and hot, you name it. It is said to be a family banquet, but in fact, it is more sumptuous than the banquet in the most famous restaurant in Yangzhou City, the so-called 'a meal for the rich, a year's food for the poor'. The luxury of a wealthy family is simply not what ordinary people can imagine.
The four of them sat down separately, and at this time, Tan Xiaotian and Lin Zicong were also brought by Steward Zhong, and Tan Xiaotian's eyes widened in surprise when he saw such a sumptuous meal. Lin Zicong is also drooling - after all, he has not been home for more than half a month, and he has eaten in the chess canteen for more than half a month.
There are children on the table, the atmosphere at the dinner table is more lively, so much time has passed, Tan Xiaotian's psychological shadow of seafood has long disappeared, plus this time the chef invited by the Lin family to take charge of the spoon is a Cantonese chef, the best thing is seafood, and his skill is far from being comparable to the chef of the canteen of Jiangdu Chess Academy, Tan Xiaotian eats with both hands, and the oil flows from his mouth, and Lin Zicong's situation over there is not much different, looking at the eating appearance of the two children, the four adults will smile from time to time.
This meal was very happy, even Lin Baoliang, who has always paid attention to diet and health, and does not like to eat and drink more, also made an exception to eat an extra bowl of rice, as for the most active person at the banquet, it is none other than Lin Qingxuan, who is in the prime of life, has been doing business for many years, has excellent eloquence, and is good at receiving people and things, and the two brothers of the Zheng family have cups and cups, calling them brothers, and soon they are familiar with each other like a family, and when the dinner is nearing the end, the three of them are already red-faced and full of wine.
After eating, Lin Baoliang invited a few people to the courtyard garden to taste tea and enjoy the moon and chat, at this time it was in the middle of the month, the so-called full moon in the sky, half a month in the world, the full moon and a half moon, although it was not complete than the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the full moon hanging in the sky at this time was also extraordinarily bright, sitting under the gazebo, the frogs in the ears were chirping, the night breeze was blowing, blowing a pool of clear water, the scene was picturesque, and people could not help but sigh that Lin Baoliang knew how to live.
The two children have not yet reached the age of knowing how to appreciate the beauty of this tranquility, they ran to the pond and picked up some flat stones to play with the water, Lin Zicong's hands are clumsy, and the stones thrown out are often thrown out of the water directly into the water, hitting a high splash, when it is good, it is just a jump on the water, and there is basically no time twice, occasionally when there is such a result, Lin Zicong is excited and shouts, as if he has made some great achievements.
It was Tan Xiaotian's turn, he picked up a stone, carefully checked the shape and thickness of the stone first, and then tried to compare it to the water surface several times, until he felt that he had a grasp of the angle and strength of the throw, and then he really waved his arm and let go, and the stone passed quickly on the water surface like a brisk bird, leaving a series of water circles rippling where it passed, and finally sinking to the bottom of the water with all his strength, and before that, there were six water circles left on the water surface.
"Wow, every day, you're so good? How did you do that, you taught me?! Lin Zicong sincerely admired, pulling Tan Xiaotian's arm and begging.
"Hehe, it's actually very simple, your feet should first stand firm, and then try to lower your body as much as possible, and your hands should also be lowered as much as possible, so that the flatter side of the stone thrown out is as parallel to the water surface as possible, so that the area of the stone and the water surface when it is in contact is relatively large, and it is not easy to sink." Tan Xiaotian didn't have the slightest idea of hiding his secrets, and taught Lin Zicong everything he knew without reservation.
Lin Zicong did as he was told, the first time was not very successful, the stone only jumped twice on the water, so Tan Xiaotian personally chose a flat stone and taught Lin Zicong how to hold the stone, how to stand firm, how to exert force, how to choose the angle, and this time the effect was much better, the stone jumped five times on the water before sinking into the water.
"Ha, four, four, grandpa, did you see that?!" The score has improved so much, Lin Zicong jumped to his feet with excitement, turned around and shouted to Lin Baoliang in a show off. (To be continued......)
