Chapter 22: Descending the Mountain
Because of the need to recuperate, Lin Meili has been living in Uncle Wang's house for the past two days, but if she doesn't return to Lin's house, her grandmother Lao Fang's family will definitely have to say something unbearable at that time. Today, Lin Meili reluctantly thanked and said goodbye to Uncle Wang's family, although they lived next door to each other, only the three of them knew what they really wanted to say goodbye to, it was the buried secret.
In the afternoon, the village chief informed each family in the village to send a representative to the village chief's house for a meeting, and the Lin family was naturally Lin Yishan from the second room, Lin Meili always felt that this meeting would have something to do with the boss of the Fu family, although she was very curious, but she still sat in her house and did not go out to inquire. About half an hour later, Lin Yishan finally returned to the Lin family, and his grandfather called everyone in the Lin family, including even the youngest Zilong, into the hall.
Lin Meili also saw her grandfather's heavy and serious face for the first time. Everyone also stood this time, and did not dare to sit down. I saw the only grandfather who sat at the top and said: "Today Yishan went to the village chief's house for a meeting, those strong men came back from the mountain, and also brought back the news that the Fu family had no more, I heard them say that when they found it in the deep mountains, it was worse than your eldest brother back then, and the old Fu family was also a man this time, no matter what contradictions and misunderstandings our two families had in the past, if the Fu family was in trouble in the future, they would help a little, but anyone from my Lin family would never do that thing that fell into the ground." ”
Everyone nodded in unison, even the grandmother Lao Fang and the eldest aunt were wiping their tears on the side, of course they couldn't cry for Fu Dalang, they just thought of the tragic death of the eldest uncle.
Grandfather has always had his own understanding of right and wrong, and his loneliness today is also because he thinks of his uncle. Lin Meili actually didn't have much impression of her eldest uncle, she only remembered that he had to practice boxing in the yard early in the morning every morning, and he had a good kung fu, perhaps because of Lin Dalang's sudden death, Lin Meili always felt that the death of the eldest uncle would be strange, after all, the eldest uncle's kung fu was so good, and he often went into the mountains to hunt...... Hey, don't be suspicious, think about the problem so complicated, after all, she has never had any sense of belonging in this Lin family, and she can't take care of her own survival, let alone take care of the life and death of others.
Aoki finally said today that he moved his young master to go down the mountain to go to Longfeng Town together, but he would not forget his business, first went to the largest pharmacy in the town, Jirentang, to catch the herbs for the treatment of wind and cold, and then planned to continue to persuade his son-in-law to find a place to have a good rubbing, after all, after spending more than half a month of ascetic life on the mountain, there is no oil and water in his stomach.
It was the first time for these two people to come to the town's Longfeng Building, a century-old store in Longfeng Building, and a head office in the capital.
"Young master, I didn't expect there to be a dragon and phoenix building here, but I don't know how this one tastes compared to the one in the capital?" Aoki was full of hope that he would finally be able to improve his food today.
The fat shopkeeper was sitting in the shop, thinking about what he had said wrong and offended the owner. Suddenly, I saw two young men walking in one after the other, looking at this dress, I knew that it should be the master and servant, and the fat shopkeeper saw that there was business coming, so he got up and received him warmly. I saw that the white-clothed man led by him had a delicate face, a slender and tall figure, but he was about the same age as his owner, and he couldn't keep staring at each other, so he led the other party to find an empty table with a wide field of vision and sat down, so he began to introduce a few cheap dishes that Lin Meili had launched before.
Aoki originally came in with the mood of a big meal, how could he listen to the dishes that the shopkeeper said were all ordinary peasant dishes, and even the corners of his young master's mouth couldn't help twitching.
Aoki was not happy to say at the moment, "You're the shopkeeper here, aren't you?" Are you looking down on us? Bullying us for not seeing? Haven't you ever eaten the dragon and phoenix building in the capital? ”
The fat shopkeeper only looked carefully at the clothes of these two people at this time, especially the white-clothed boy who was dressed in white brocade and wore a purple gold and jade crown, and at first glance he was a person from a big place, and he blamed himself for thinking about what mistakes he made a few days ago, and he forgot what Miss Lin explained, and the cheap dishes were only promoted to the ordinary people, how could he ignore the principle of watching people cook. When the next clever person hurriedly apologized: "This guest officer, you misunderstood the meaning of Xiao, the dishes just mentioned were developed by our store according to the customs of Longfeng Town after the Flower Dynasty Festival. ”
"Okay, okay, less nonsense, then you hurry up and give my son-in-law some dishes that have been researched according to the customs of the capital." After hearing this, the fat shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, and he should go down to prepare.
After a while, several exquisite dishes with the traditional specialties of Longfeng Lou were put on the table, and the master and servant had not opened meat for a long time, and they no longer cared about the attitude of the fat shopkeeper just now, so they started eating. Seeing that the two of them were full of wine and food, the fat shopkeeper finally brought out pear blossom cake as a new product tasting promotion.
"Young master, this is probably the pear blossom cake that the vegetable thief talked about last time, you can taste it, it looks good, crystal clear, and it looks better than the hibiscus cake made by Sister Hongyue."
"Noise!" After speaking, the boy in white also picked up a piece of pear blossom cake and tasted it slowly, it was indeed really good, and it was still his favorite taste.
Aoki has always understood his young master best, and hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, you let that guy serve pear blossom cake again." ”
The fat shopkeeper nodded happily when he heard this, and thought to himself: Not to mention that Miss Lin's pear cake is not only liked by these two guests, but also by his owner and young master. Of course, his fat man is no exception.
