Chapter 143: Cooperation
The old man thought so, and had some expectations for the food sent by An Juan.
And An Juan did not disappoint him.
The servants quickly poured the contents of the box into the pot, stir-fried them a little warmly, and then put them on a special plate and served them by a beautiful maid.
Even if the actual season outside is summer, but in this cave, it is the scene of autumn, and this maid wears too little in this climate.
An Juan, who was shocked by the maid's frost-resistant ability, couldn't help but look at the maid a few more times.
It's just that her eyes full of amazement and admiration were taken as vigilance by the old man.
After all, the prince is here, and he called a maid who was so good-looking and so exposed-dressed to come out to serve food, and any lady would be unhappy.
The old man who thought of this patted his head with some annoyance, thinking that he had miscalculated.
In order to make up for this mistake, before An Juan could see the maid's facial features, the old man directly scolded the maid and called another maid with a simple face to come up.
An Juan and Luo Yelin didn't know anything about the old man's mental activities, so they glanced at the old man and the departing maid with some doubts, and then lowered their heads and ate the food.
There weren't a lot of things An Juan brought, and even if he gave them all to the old man, he could barely make up half of the dishes.
In order not to make the scene look so shabby, the chef brought by the old man specially fried a few side dishes, boiled a pot of soup, and put it on the table.
It just happened to make up for the lack of soup in the things that An Juan brought.
Almost filling the entire dining table, the old man and Luo Yelin humbled each other, and then Luo Yelin unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks and moved the first stroke of the meal.
Immediately after that, the atmosphere on the table relaxed slightly, and the old man and his granddaughter also raised their utensils and ran towards the food they were interested in.
It is reasonable to be reasonable, the first thing to eat should be the dishes sent by An Juan.
After putting the first bite of the dish in his mouth, the old man's eyes widened for a moment, and he gasped in shock.
After a long time, he followed the subconscious chewing action of his muscles, swallowing the dish in his mouth little by little.
After eating, he immediately put down his chopsticks and praised An Juan without hesitation: "Little Lao'er didn't expect much from Miss An, but he didn't want Miss An to make it so delicious...... Xiao Lao'er remembers that Miss An has a hotel in Jincheng, and when she has time, Xiao Lao'er will definitely go to the party in person! ”
Fengcheng and Jincheng are considered to be neighboring cities, but the old man is an old man after all, and he generally does not take the initiative to leave Fengcheng and go to other cities unless it is a major event.
Now that he had said this, it was clear how he felt about the dishes.
Seeing the old man's performance, An Juan suddenly had an idea in his heart, so he tentatively said to the old man: "Old man, in fact, you don't have to go to Jincheng...... After coming to Fengcheng, the little woman wanted to open a restaurant in Fengcheng, but she hadn't chosen the address yet, and she didn't know the preferences of the people in Fengcheng, so she was worried that she would get something wrong. ”
Hearing that An Juan wanted to open a store in Fengcheng, the old man's eyes lit up, and he didn't hesitate to recommend himself: "Miss An wants to open a store in Fengcheng?" You've got the right person! Let the little old man help you, and you will definitely make your store prosperous from the opening, and people will always come and go! ”
The old man's tone was very loud, but in fact he did have this strength.
For this kind of good thing sent to the door, An Juan wanted to go next, but she was worried that the other party would only open her mouth for the sake of Luo Yelin's face, so she glanced at Luo Yelin a little blankly, as if she wanted to ask Luo Yelin's thoughts, so as to determine whether she should accept it.
Feeling An Juan's gaze from the side, Luo Yelin smiled and nodded at her.
After making the move, Luo Yelin was still worried that An Juan wouldn't be able to understand his signal, so he directly took over An Juan's task and nodded: "Since the old man is so kind, we will accept it." ”
A cooperation was reached at the dinner table, and several people were in a good mood, so they continued to taste the food on the table.
When he was about to finish eating this table of food, the old man put down his chopsticks with satisfaction, wiped his mouth with the wet hand towel brought by the person next to him, and said with emotion: "Don't hide it from the two of you, it's rare for the little old man to eat so comfortably." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the leftovers on the table with some regret, and said with pity: "It's just that it has been done a long time ago, and the food that has been put away for a long time can be so delicious, if you can eat the delicious food that comes out of the pot, won't the little old man's tongue be bitten off?" ”
Listening to his words, An Xuan wasn't sure if he was simply exclamating or if he was making some obvious hints.
But no matter what the old man's mentality was, An Juan then made a promise: "Since the old man is looking forward to it so much, after going down the mountain, you can come to the inn to find me, and I will make a few dishes for the old man to taste on the spot, how about it?" ”
Hearing what he wanted, the old man suddenly became energetic, and he paused hurriedly: "Then thank you girl." ”
After eating, An Xuan and Luo Yelin went to the Xiaoice House next door to rest for a while, enjoying the life of "summer quilt".
At this time, the sky was already a little overcast, and it was estimated that it would be dark in another half an hour.
The old man feared for their safety, so he sent a few strong and well-informed men to accompany them down the mountain until they were sent to the gates of Fengcheng.
As soon as they were reminded by the old man, An Juan and Luo Yelin remembered that Fengcheng would close the city gate every night at a fixed time and prohibit the people from entering and leaving.
And the old man has a very high status in Fengcheng, and he naturally has a token at hand that can open the city gate, so the old man asked his subordinates to bring the token and sent Luo Yelin and them into Fengcheng.
After arriving at the inn, the tired people ordered a table of dishes again.
Walking down the mountain in a hurry, and eating enough on the mountain, you will also be hungry.
Not to mention that they don't eat much.
During the meal, An Juan shared the cooperation with the old man with Song Qin and Song Jian.
Compared with An Juan and Luo Yelin, who came to Fengcheng for the first time and were a little ignorant, Song Qin and Song Jian had been immersed in Fengcheng for a long time after all, and they all knew something about these big people.
They were already very surprised to see the big man on the mountain, but they didn't expect that now An Juan would reach a cooperation.
"Miss An, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, the eldest master is a well-known and powerful figure in Fengcheng." Song Jian made an expression of admiration, and stretched out his thumb: "If we can reach a cooperation with him, the hotel we opened in Fengcheng will definitely be like a tiger, and it will easily become a big hotel." ”
Song Qin doesn't know much about the old man, but looking at his father's expression, he should be a powerful person.
Being able to open a restaurant with powerful people, Song Qin was also a little happy: "Sister An, you are so powerful, our Yuanju Pavilion is getting bigger and bigger." ”
But just when everyone was rejoicing, a cool voice suddenly came from the side: "Miss An is good-looking, she can be liked by big people and help open a restaurant...... Ugly people like us don't have this kind of treatment. ”
The sourness in his words was overflowing, and he almost filled the entire inn.
After Song Qin picked up her mother back, she never liked her, and after feeling her extreme terrible operations again and again, she hated to cut off the relationship with Li Xiuzhen directly, pretending that she didn't have this biological mother.
Now hearing Li Xiuzhen's mockery, Song Qin didn't think much about it, and went back directly: "The reason why Sister An can be loved by adults is because of her good craftsmanship and delicious food. This is something she learned with hard work, and she boiled it out of the kitchen fumes, but unlike some people, she only knew how to take out the family's assets to gamble, and sold herself directly after losing them. ”
Compared with Li Xiuzhen's statement of "praise on the surface, but actually ridicule", Song Qin is "mocking on the surface, but in fact really disdainful".
Li Xiuzhen's face suddenly turned blue.
"Qin'er, what are you talking about?" With a cold face, she assumed the posture of an elder, and spoke in a reprimanding tone.
It's a pity that Song Qin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, seeing Li Xiuzhen's face is very bad, her mood suddenly relaxed, and she answered with a smile: "I didn't say anything, whoever substitutes himself is who." ”
Li Xiuzhen's face turned pale, and then she adjusted the tone that was stagnant in her heart a little, and continued to reprimand: "No matter who you are talking about, this kind of statement is impolite, and you must leave a line when you speak and behave in the future, so that you can get along well in the future." ”
It's just that Song Qin didn't listen to a word about Li Xiuzhen's education, and only shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "What kind of 'person' are you talking about, this kind of person who takes the family's money out to gamble and forces the family into desperation is not a person at all." Perhaps because she was young and vigorous, Song Qin didn't pay attention to Song Jian's small tugging of her cuffs, and only continued to stare at Li Xiuzhen, and continued to say word by word: "It's not a person, it's a scum." ”
The impact of the word "scum" was too great, and Li Xiuzhen's face instantly turned gray and white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she looked like she had an illusion that her life was imminent.
Seeing that the two of them were arguing more and more outrageously, Song Jian's face turned red, and after gritting his teeth for a long time, he finally lost his temper: "Okay! Stop it! ”
His voice easily drowned out the quarrel between Song Qin and Li Xiuzhen.
The two stopped talking in unison and looked at Song Jian.
Song Jian took a deep breath, glanced at An Juan and Luo Yelin again, and then yelled at the two of them: "If there is something to talk about, what kind of quarrel in front of Miss An and the prince!" I'm going to want you to be ashamed! ”
His words succeeded in putting an end to this sudden and unusually ferocious dispute.
Pulling Song Qin and Li Xiuzhen, who were still puffing up, behind him, Song Jian apologized to An Juan and Luo Yelin with some embarrassment: "Miss An, Lord Wang, I didn't take care of them...... I'll teach them a good lesson when I go back. ”
