Chapter 40: Gongsun Ziniang's Secret
After Lin Hong bid farewell to the Grandmaster and Master Tongyu, he contacted Gongsun Yinniang, and after leaving the portal, he took the Yinniang helicopter to the Cape Island of the South China Sea. At that time, it had entered the depths of winter, approaching the Spring Festival. Although the cold Siberian snap is still blowing in the north for several days, the sea breeze blows with warmth from the corner of the South China Sea.
When everyone arrived, it was difficult for Gongsun Ziniang to come out of the house and prepare delicious dishes for everyone.
Liu Yifeng has not seen Gongsun Ziniang for a long time, and she misses it very much. When I saw Gongsun Ziniang, I hugged Gongsun Ziniang and said, "Master, I'm not by your side, is your food delicious?" "Gongsun Ziniang has been adopting Liu Yifeng for more than ten years, and the two of them depend on each other. In particular, Gongsun Ziniang taught her a skill, and entrusted Liu Yifeng with full authority to take care of the jewelry business, so Liu Yifeng in the eyes of Gongsun Ziniang is not only an apprentice, but also treats it the same as her daughter.
Gongsun Ziniang touched Liu Yifeng's long words and said, "Silly boy, I have hands and feet, and I won't treat myself badly." I have always had Sister Yin accompany me before, but in the days when you were away, the jewelry business was abandoned a lot. Will you come back this time and continue your journey of maritime jewelry? ”
Liu Yifeng looked at Gongsun Ziniang and said, "Master, I'll accompany you for a few days, maybe I'll fly to the United States next month to complete the bounty hunter's mission." The mission is for us to hunt down an American named Paulson. ”
When Gongsun Ziniang heard the United States, her brows tightened, and then she returned to normal, revealing a melancholy look, and said faintly: "Are you going to the United States, thousands of miles away, will it be... Gongsun Ziniang wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to say it in her heart, but she didn't say it.
Adam saw the expression on Gongsun Ziniang's face flashing, and said, "Aunt Gongsun, if you have anything to explain, just say it, we will definitely help you complete it." "It is said that a woman's mind, a needle under the sea, ordinary people can't see it, and only Adam usually mixes in the philistines and rivers and lakes, and can read other people's eyes.
Gongsun Ziniang saw this situation, and then changed her mind: "Nothing. It's just too far, I'm a little worried about you! Seeing this, Liu Yifeng said: "Master, don't worry, I have taken your teachings to heart for so many years, and I will take care of myself and complete the tasks assigned to us by Master Tongyu." ”
When Gongsun Ziniang saw Liu Yifeng say this, she didn't answer anymore. She arranged for everyone to sit down and said, "I've been talking for a while, I haven't moved my chopsticks yet, everyone is hungry, let's eat something." "Everyone saw that the table was very rich, and they didn't care much about it.
Only Liu Yifeng stared at the table and didn't move the chopsticks. Seeing this, Adam said, "Miss Liu, eat quickly, the dish will be cold in a while." But Liu Yifeng was still staring at the table and didn't move.
Gongsun Ziniang patted Liu Yifeng at this time and said, "What's the matter, Yifeng, don't you like these dishes, there are a lot of things you like to eat." Liu Yifeng relieved himself and said, "Master, this vanilla American steak is extremely delicious, but I have the impression that you have only made it once, why did you make this dish today." After I ate that once, you said that the ingredients were too troublesome and not in order, so you never made it again. ”
When Gongsun Ziniang heard Liu Yifeng's words, her face immediately flushed slightly, a little shocked and out of shape, and she interrupted: "Yes, is that raw material difficult to match." Gongsun Ziniang didn't know how to answer in her heart.
Gongsun Yinniang was afraid of touching Ziniang's past, so she said: "It's nothing, isn't it just vanilla steak, it's very ordinary." ”
Liu Yifeng bit her lip, thought for a while, and said, "No, no, no!" Although vanilla steak is a common American flavor, the chef uses Mexican pepper, Italian cucumbers, Brazilian bamboo shoots, and... ”
Flying over the mountain, he saw that everyone was struggling with a steak, so he said, "Isn't it just a steak, as for it." Saying this, it makes me feel that this steak is so mysterious by you, and the ingredients are also ingredient from different places, as if you are all so cultured. I'm just going to make it delicious.,Haha.。。 ”
Seeing that he was flying over the mountain, Adam was joking again, and quipped: "Brother, you should be really delicious." In the days of the Secret Path, I think you like turnips and sweet potatoes so much, hehe. The implication of this is to laugh at flying over the mountains and eating everything.
The one who flew over the mountain saw Adam making fun of himself: "Good girl, there is no way." Life in the mountains is hard, even if there is meat, they don't season, I can't do anything. As I compared, I found that their radishes and sweet potatoes were better than their roast meats, haha. ”
Liu Yifeng stared at Gongsun Ziniang and said, "Master, am I right or not?" Because I remember this vanilla steak so well. When I was still a teenager, I vaguely remember that you were dressed beautifully that day, and you were busy all morning preparing the ingredients. Then I was playing outside and missed lunchtime, and when I took the boat back to the island, I thought you were going to discipline me for disobedience, but I didn't expect that I didn't come back for dinner at noon, and you didn't discipline me. Then when I came back in the afternoon, you said that there was a vanilla steak for me to eat, and I thought the steak I had that day was the best delicacy in the whole world. Master, have you forgotten this? ”
Gongsun Ziniang was stunned for a moment, wiped the apron on her waist unnaturally with her hand, and barely smiled: "I really can't remember something so far ago." Well, it's been so long, don't think about it, Yifeng, eat quickly. You see, when you say this, everyone looks at you and doesn't move their chopsticks. ”
The Yanbo angler laughed: "I didn't expect this dish to have such a tortuous past, haha." Zi Niang, what day is today, you make such a delicious dish. ”
Gongsun Yinniang touched the back of the Yanbo fisherman and said, "What day?" What nonsense are you talking about, can you eat your food? After speaking, the smokey wave angler glanced at him, and the smokewave angler stopped talking.
At this time, Liu Yifeng swept around and found that everyone was listening to her talk about the girl, and she did not move chopsticks anymore, so she also felt embarrassed at this time, and said: "Listen to the master, eat vegetables and eat vegetables!" With that, she picked up a piece of steak, put it in her mouth, and ate it in a big gulp, saying as she ate, "Thank you, master, I finally have this dish again!" ”
In the afternoon, Lin Hong and others said goodbye to Gongsun and Liu Yifeng, and returned to Suzhou to do business.
。。。。。。
In the corner of the South China Sea in the evening, the sea breeze blows, which makes people yearn for it. On the shore in the southeast corner, Gongsun Ziniang and Liu Yifeng are sitting.
Gongsun Ziniang opened her mouth to speak and said, "Yifeng, I have always treated you like a child. You're so smart that you can tell the difference in the vanilla steak. After speaking, Gongsun Ziniang sighed softly.
Liu Yifeng said: "Master, did I make you angry?" If so, I'll change it later. Liu Yifeng was just a little surprised by the steak, what she said wrong things and did wrong things in the future, which made the master unhappy.
Gongsun Ziniang said: "There are many people during the day, and it is inconvenient for me to say it." Yes, this is your master's secret, buried in my heart for twenty years, I will tell you about it today. Gongsun Ziniang thought to herself, if she hadn't told this secret today, she would have been holding back the discomfort in her heart, but the apprentice was about to go to the United States, and if she didn't say it, she was afraid that she would not have a chance to find the answer.
Liu Yifeng was puzzled and said, "Master, you say." If there's anything you need me to do, I'll do it. "For so many years, no matter what Gongsun Ziniang asked her to do or what she wanted her to do, Liu Yifeng always tried her best to do it, and she was clean and neat, and she never disappointed her master.
Gongsun Ziniang said: "I learned that herb steak in the United States, and it was a dish he made for me when I met him. ”
Liu Yifeng was puzzled again: "Master, which one is he?" ”
Gongsun Ziniang touched her apprentice's long hair and said softly: "Yifeng, don't interject yet, let me tell the story well." Liu Yifeng nodded.
It turned out that when Gongsun Ziniang first came to the United States with Sister Gongsun, she met a handsome young man from the west. The young man met Gongsun Ziniang because of one thing. The young Americans are enthusiastic and bold, and they have a good impression on Gongsun Ziniang. From then on, the young man asked Gongsun Ziniang to eat, starting with making herb steak.
Gongsun Ziniang made an appointment with the young man and promised that every day they met, he would cook herb steak for her. But later, due to an accident, the young man left Gongsun Ziniang, which was a big blow to Gongsun Ziniang. Gongsun Ziniang returned to China and vowed never to see that person again, and slowly became very prejudiced against men.
It's so easy to forget about someone, let alone your sweetheart. So every ten years when the two meet, Gongsun Ziniang must make this herb steak. And in the last ten years, it happened to be Liu Yifeng who was playing when she was a teenager and missed lunch, so Gongsun Ziniang didn't blame her.
And today is the second decade, and Gongsun Ziniang made this dish again. I don't want to be seen by Liu Yifeng, it's really fate. Although Gongsun Ziniang said that men were unreliable, how could she forget the ups and downs with the Americans, lingering and compassionate.
Gongsun Ziniang can't forget the bitter love in her heart, of course, there is also bitter hatred. This deep love and hatred rolled in her heart day and night, making her miserable.
After hearing this, Liu Yifeng said, "Master, you said that men are unreliable, and I don't want you... ”
Gongsun Ziniang sighed: "Yifeng, you are still young, there are some things you haven't experienced, you won't understand." It's me, I've told myself countless times, and I've told you, that men can't be trusted. But when that man has left a deep imprint on your heart, you can't forget it, is this my fate? ”
Liu Yifeng said: "Master, I understand a little. You mean to ask me to go to the United States to find this American, don't you? ”
Gongsun Ziniang said: "Yifeng, you still know me best." Yes, you go to the United States to find him, he lives in Geshanji in the western part of the United States, and often crisscrosses the Great West. But I didn't want to look for him. ”
Liu Yifeng said: "Master, why do you want to find him again?" Are you worried that I won't find him? ”
Gongsun Ziniang said: "Silly boy, I told you to do one thing that disappointed me, you can always do what the master told you perfectly." After all these years, what if you find him? Maybe he's married, or maybe he's forgotten about me. ”
Liu Yifeng said: "Master, you have always been very confident in yourself, since you are so affectionate, how can he forget you." If he forgets you, I will kill him and avenge you. ”
Gongsun Ziniang hurriedly grabbed Liu Yifeng's hand and said, "No." When you find him, just send me a message, and I know he's safe and alive. What else can I think about? ”
Liu Yifeng said: "Master, I forgot to ask this person's name, what is his name?" ”
Gongsun Ziniang sighed again, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and said, "Doug. Bao Sen, the one you are looking for in your mission. ”
