Chapter 200 Embarrassing
Banniang pouted, and rarely replied: "Father-in-law, people thought about it all night last night, what to do for you to eat, but unfortunately you have to leave, you can't eat and nothing, after all, there will be a chance in the future, I will first report the name of the dish for you to hear, these dishes are all newly figured out by me, that is, I have never served it in the restaurant." I also want you to be the first person in the world to taste it, you listen first, what are they? ”
As he spoke, he counted his fingers and reported the names of the dishes one by one: "Flywheel dumplings, green juice dumplings, purple summer white fungus, Chu Phoenix, Guangling fried rice, peony fish fillet, lotus goldfish shrimp, grape fish, water fish fillet, stewed lion head, fairy chicken, Jude barbecue, ink mountain and river soup......"
Cai Junmo laughed: "I haven't eaten this yet, just listening to these names will arouse the cravings in my stomach." It's not a loss, it's the dishes made by the girls of your Zeng family's scholarly family, and they all sound like landscape paintings. It's a pity that your father-in-law and I made an appointment with an old friend to wait on the road, if you don't leave again, it's really delayed, what's the matter, you have to stay for a day, eat your meal, I really can't think of it, no wonder you have the ambition to eat the world's food, it turns out that you not only love to eat, but also do. The father-in-law is waiting for you in the capital. ”
Banniang saw that she really couldn't keep it, thinking that this was not an old man, and he was really good to himself, but she was a little reluctant, so she collapsed her face and said: "Then these dishes, Xiaoba will keep them, and he will also practice his hands every day, and then make them for his father-in-law to eat, and before his father-in-law tastes them, Xiaoba will never sell them in the restaurant." ”
I thought of her father-in-law again, but she was very human, and she was shy again, and smiled: "Father-in-law, Xiaoba's filial piety is expressed, and your meeting gift should also be given, right?" I don't want to have any other daughters, you have to give me a few pairs of words. ”
"You girl," Cai Junmo's own daughter is too well-behaved, and she can't imagine accepting a righteous girl, but such a ghost and elf is thick-skinned enough, and she likes it very much, "It's too unproductive, but it's also a gift for me to accept my daughter's meeting, how can it be just a few pairs of calligraphy and paintings?" While calling the old servant beside him, he went to get a few pairs of words, and said, "I have prepared a meeting gift for you, aren't you going to do the timber business?" Li Yongxing has made a note on his side, and he is not afraid that he will regret it, but I thought, you and the little monk of the Lin family must also work together, right? ”
"Yes, my father-in-law has built a bridge for me, why can't I go? Besides, that kid Hachi also admires it very much in his heart, his business is also on the rise, cooperating with him at this time is a long-term win-win situation, Hachi is not stupid, how can he live up to his father-in-law's wishes? Of course, you have to catch it. ”
"That's it. I also used my old face to pave the way for you, specifically, I won't tell you, so that you don't feel that you have a shortcut, and you will be sluggish in your efforts. You'll find out later. ”
Banniang saw that he didn't say anything, so she didn't ask, and opened the scroll sent by the old servant, and took a closer look, Cai Junmo's calligraphy, as one of the most famous four masters of the Song Dynasty, is indeed as the second brother evaluated, rich and dignified, simple and graceful, and self-contained.
After a few words of praise, he accepted the scroll with satisfaction, and seeing that it was not early, he thought that Cai Junmo was tired for a day, and it was time to rest, so he said goodbye.
Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, Banniang got up early, let Cang'er pay attention to the movement in Cai Junmo's room, and went downstairs to negotiate with the store, and made a few snacks for Cai Junmo's good life, one is to keep some to eat when he goes on the road, and the other is to give him food in the morning.
Cai Junmo led the old servant downstairs for breakfast, and heard the old servant say that the money for the hotel had been settled by someone, and goodbye to the rich and beautiful breakfast served by Banniang with a smile, and said in his heart that he really didn't see the wrong person, this girl is really a heart.
Ben Meimei had breakfast, and then stepped on the morning light, and quietly walked out of Quanzhou City under the escort of Banniang and Cang'er.
When Banniang returned to the inn, she saw Lin Zhaoqing waiting for her.
"Where did you go in the morning? I came early enough, but I didn't want you to go out, and I wanted to ask you out for breakfast. ”
Banniang smiled: "My father-in-law entered Beijing, let's leave today, I'll send him off." ”
"Lord Cai is gone? I knew that I should have come over earlier and give the adults a ride. ”
Looking at the regret on Lin Zhaoqing's face, Banniang smiled: "It's because my father-in-law doesn't want to alarm others that I did it so early, but I got up in the middle of the night." And he said, "I won't go out to breakfast today, but I will invite you to try my craft today." ”
She also asked the store to bring up the breakfast she had left for Cang'er and a few people, because she had already eaten it herself, so she sat on the side and watched Lin Zhaoqing finish eating.
But I thought in my heart, should I tell Lin Zhaoqing about my daughter's body, originally she wore men's clothes, but it was just for convenience, not to hide people's eyes, so I felt that I should tell the truth.
After Lin Zhaoqing finished eating, Banniang was about to speak, not wanting Lin Zhaoqing to push the dishes and chopsticks, so he said, "These are your crafts?" I really didn't expect that the things you made were really delicious that I had never tasted in my life, but unfortunately my identity was small, otherwise, if you were a woman's family, I would really want to marry your family. Which ones can also be eaten every day. By the way, we visited the harbor and shipyard before, and yesterday we visited the shops, but our three towers in Quanzhou are extremely famous, one is the east and west twin towers of Kaiyuan Temple, the east is the Zhenguo Tower, the west is the Renshou Tower, and the second is the sister-in-law tower of Baogai Mountain, I used to be a monk in Kaiyuan Temple, and I am very familiar with there, and I invite you to take a look today? ”
Banniang was choked by his words that if you are a woman's family, she smiled and said: "This side of the matter has been done, in order to avoid the parents worrying, and I want to go back in a hurry, the three towers, just keep the next back, and then ask Brother Lin as a guide, take me to see it, I want to return in the afternoon, thank you Brother Lin for your help these days, if Brother Lin has the opportunity to go to Nanfeng in the future, in order to power my landlord, I will definitely entertain Brother Lin." ”
After a pause, he smiled again: "Actually, Brother Lin just said that if I am a woman's family...... I really want to explain something to Brother Lin, don't be angry after hearing it. ”
Lin Zhaoqing said in his heart, what can you do to make me angry? He waved his hand and said indifferently: "Hachiro has something to say, just say it." ”
Banniang thought about it for a while, and felt that it was inconvenient to speak in the inn, so she smiled and said, "Come on, let's talk about it when I leave in the afternoon." ”
He called Cang'er and a few people to pack their luggage, and he talked to Lin Zhaoqing. Lin Zhaoqing wanted to make a meal for her, so he asked someone to book a restaurant, and the two talked, because there was nothing to clean up, and from time to time Cang'er and a few people were busy.
After lunch, Banniang was about to embark on the return journey, Lin Zhaoqing personally sent him outside the city gate, Banniang got into the carriage, then lifted the curtain, and smiled at Lin Zhaoqing, who was waving to her outside the car: "Brother Lin, didn't I say that I have something to tell you in the morning?" Actually, I am a woman, and I am eight at home, and Brother Lin may as well call me Zeng Banniang in the future. But the name of the deed I signed with you is true, and it is all counted. ”
Lin Zhaoqing was stunned at that time, although he felt that this Zeng Balang was a little weak and too weak, but except for when he drank wine that night, his tone of voice was a little feminine, but he acted generously at other times, where did he think that he was a little lady?
Thinking about it again in the past few days, I have carried other people's hands from time to time, and I still say that I want to be closer to her, and I asked early when I said that if someone was a woman, I would marry her, and my face was as red as the cooked prawns, and I was stunned there.
I thought in my heart that I was embarrassed this time, and I saw the smiling face in the car looking at me, I couldn't help but pause, my heart was ruthless, and the things I did were also unintentional. The heat on his face didn't go away, but it was even worse. But he couldn't say a word, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Brother Lin? Brother Lin, you won't really be angry with me, will you? I wore men's clothes, I didn't mean to hide it, just for convenience, and the reason why I didn't tell Brother Lin was that I was afraid that Brother Lin would know that I was a woman and didn't want to cooperate with me. Please don't blame Brother Lin. Banniang has given you a gift here. ”
Lin Zhaoqing was reminded by what she said, so he had to blush, nodded, and squeezed out: "I don't blame you." Hachiro is careful on the road, so I won't send more. ”
After saying that, he hugged his fist, turned around and ran away. It wasn't until there was no more sound of the carriage in his ears that he stopped and looked back, where was the smiling face in front of him? For a moment, the blush on his face dissipated, but his heart was strangely empty, as if something important had been lost.
