Chapter Ninety-One: Preparing to Go
"Is it delicious? Lao Wang. Jiang Yimeng looked at me and laughed.
"Hmmm! It's delicious! You can try it too! Long... It's been a long time since I've eaten such authentic Hengyang cuisine. "My mouth was stuffed with vegetables at this time, and I couldn't speak well.
"Eat slowly! Fellow, I don't know what to call you. The fat chef looked at me with a smile, but didn't pick up the chopsticks in front of him.
"Oh! My surname is Wang, you can call me Xiao Wang or Lao Wang. What about you? I put down my chopsticks and wiped the oil from the corners of my mouth.
"My surname is also Wang, what kind of generation are you?" It turned out that the fat chef was also surnamed Wang, and he didn't look a few years older than me.
"I'm from the seniors, what about you?" The fat chef smiled and handed over a cigarette.
"Oh! Then I have a lot of seniority than you, and I am a mediocre generation. You should call it uncle, hahahaha" Although I am not very old, I am still relatively old. After all, in our country, there are many places where people are called by generation.
In, Zhong, Yong, Shi, Xi, these are the seniority of one of our Wang surnames.
And my mediocre generation is a generation older than the fat chef's seniors, so there is nothing wrong with him calling him uncle.
"Hey, hey! I thought that my fat man met my uncle here today, hahahaha! Come on! Hurry up and eat the vegetables! It won't taste good when it's cold! The fat chef laughed.
The authentic Hengyang cuisine is different, and I was reluctant to put down the bowl in my hand after eating several large bowls in a row.
Jiang Yimeng was also gobbling it up, but he was already sweating profusely.
I smiled and handed over a handful of tissues: "Mengmeng, eat slowly, don't rush!" ”
"Wow! It's so enjoyable! I didn't know there was such a powerful Hunan chef here! Jiang Yimeng took the tissue and wiped the sweat on his face, and said with a curious smile to the fat chef.
"Hahahaha! Since the eldest lady likes to eat, she will come more in the future, and I will definitely cook authentic Hengyang dishes for you to eat! You still want to eat it. The fat chef laughed and nodded.
"Then keep eating! It's very busy in the kitchen, and it's time for me to go in and help. Folks! Tell me about it early next time you come to dinner! I prepare in advance. The fat chef threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stood up.
"Hmmm! Don't worry, next time you come to eat, you must say it in advance. I saw that the fat chef was going back to the kitchen to get busy, so I quickly took out a box of unsmoked white sand cigarettes from my pocket and handed it over: "Fellow, this pack of hometown cigarettes, just stay with you!" You can smoke when you're homesick. ”
"Really? That's great. This pack of hometown cigarettes must be put away and smoked slowly, hehe! Thanks, fellow. The fat cook excitedly put the cigarette in his pocket, smiled at me, turned and walked into the kitchen, and began to get back to his work.
"Hiccup!" Jiang Yimeng touched his stomach and burped: "Lao Wang, I haven't eaten such a spicy thing for a long time, it's really enjoyable today!" It's so spicy and comfortable! ”
"Wait, don't tell Old Man Xiao that we are eating Hengyang cuisine here! Otherwise, he would have scolded me and said why I didn't take him with me. "I suddenly remembered the old man Xiao, who is also from Hunan.
At this time, in the Jiang family's restaurant, Old Man Xiao was cutting a half-baked steak with a knife and fork, and looked out of the door with blank eyes: "I don't know where this stinky boy has gone, and he doesn't even eat." Alas! Suddenly, I really want to eat Hunan cuisine and rice! This steak is not to my liking at all! Forget it, let's eat some! You can't go hungry! ”
After Old Man Xiao finished speaking, he stuck a small piece of steak with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth, gobbling it up: "Hmm! Actually, it's not that bad, at least there's meat to eat, and the taste is okay! No matter, let's eat first! O loyal! Bring me another steak! ”
Uncle Zhong next to him looked at Old Man Xiao and smiled secretly: "Mr. Xiao, do you still have the habit of eating Western food?" Why don't I tell the kitchen to cook Chinese food for you?" ”
"Oh! No, I'll just eat the steak. Actually, it tastes pretty good! Old man Xiao stuffed the last steak on the plate into his mouth.
"This is a steak of Toei Wagyu! The piece you eat is worth at least a few thousand dollars! Uncle Zhong looked at the wolfing old man Xiao and shook his head, this steak has to be chewed slowly to taste the taste. This way of gobbling up the steak devalues the value of the steak and is simply a tyrannical thing.
However, you can't blame Old Man Xiao, after all, he has never been to a Western restaurant to eat.
"Lao Zhong, do you say that foreigners eat beef for three meals a day?" Old man Xiao suddenly asked.
"What? Beef? It's a steak, uh! But there's nothing wrong with calling it beef! When Uncle Zhong heard Old Man Xiao's words, he immediately couldn't cry or laugh.
"Yes! They eat beef! Uncle Zhong replied angrily.
"Oh! I think it's better to eat rice and stir-fry, it tastes good, and you can eat it to your heart's content. After Old Man Xiao wiped out a piece of steak that had just been served as fast as he could, he touched his stomach and sighed.
"Mengmeng, let's go back! But you'll have to hold on to me. You see how swollen my feet are, it's not easy to walk at all. I looked at my swollen feet and said to Jiang Yimeng, who was wiping his sweat.
"Alright! Who let all this be my fault! Let's go!" After Jiang Yimeng called the waiter to settle the bill, he helped me slowly walk towards the Jiang family's office building.
"Yo! Boy, are you back? How did you become lame?" As soon as I entered the elevator, I saw Old Man Xiao standing inside with a toothpick in his mouth.
"Ugh! Walked too fast and accidentally twisted. I looked at Jiang Yimeng, and explained to Old Man Xiao that I accidentally twisted it.
"Mr. Xiao, you will set off to the Yellow River tomorrow to look for the Water Spirit Pill, can you take me with you too?" Jiang Yimeng suddenly asked Old Man Xiao.
"This... You better ask your dad about this! Old man Xiao said that this matter had to be approved by Patriarch Jiang.
Also, after all, Jiang Yimeng is the only daughter of the Jiang family, and this time she went to the Yellow River to find the water elixir, and she had to face a thousand-year-old giant turtle. If something happens to Jiang Yimeng, we really can't explain it to Patriarch Jiang.
Old man Xiao asked Jiang Yimeng to ask his father first, because Patriarch Jiang was reluctant to let his baby daughter do this kind of life-and-death thing with us.
"Then if my dad agrees, will you take me with you?" Jiang Yimeng seemed to see through my thoughts and that of Old Man Xiao.
"As long as Patriarch Jiang agrees, we will definitely have no opinion! It's just that we don't necessarily have to protect you! As you know, we are facing a giant turtle that has been cultivated for thousands of years, and I am afraid that we will not even be able to take care of ourselves when the time comes. Old man Xiao suddenly became serious and said.
"That's good! I'm going to tell my dad right away. As long as he agrees, I'll go with you tomorrow. After Jiang Yimeng finished speaking, he stopped the elevator and walked out.
"Old Xiao! Do you really dare to let her go with us? "I complained that Old Man Xiao didn't consult with me, and directly agreed to Jiang Yimeng's request.
"Don't worry, even if she doesn't want to go. Patriarch Jiang will also send her with us. After all, the water elixir was taken to save Patriarch Jiang. What if we kidnap the water elixir? We took the initiative to agree to her, so that Patriarch Jiang could completely reassure us. After all, it is much better than others to have their own biological daughter in supervision. And I dare say that Patriarch Jiang will definitely send more people to spy on us in secret. Old man Xiao said softly.
"Since you don't worry about us, then why do you want us to help you find the water elixir?" I'm a little confused.
"After we get the water elixir, if there is abnormal behavior. The people sent by Patriarch Jiang to spy on us will definitely do something to us, after all, there is only the Water Spirit Pill in the world that can save him. He didn't allow any slip-ups in the Water Spirit Pill. That's the way they do businessmen. Old man Xiao whispered in my ear.
"I'm not interested in the water elixir, all I want is the rubbing in his hand. But I know that Patriarch Jiang is also doing this to be on guard. You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people. It seems that Patriarch Jiang is bold on the surface, but in fact, the city government in his heart is quite deep. I smiled and shook my head.
When the time comes, you can retrieve the water elixir, just give me the rubbings in your hand quickly. As for the water elixir fire elixir or something, it's worthless to me.
