Chapter 47: A Chance Encounter
On the snowy Great Wall, Chen Ao was wearing only two long-sleeved thin clothes. He was standing on the Great Wall with a lonely face, looking at the land covered in ice and snow. It feels like my own heart, the same depression. After a long time, Chen Ao, who was taken a few back photos by a few passing tourists, finally got impatient. I'm not going to continue to be a human landscape wall here. Retracting his gaze from afar, he turned around and wanted to go back.
"Hey... You've dropped your wallet, young man. Chen Ao had just turned around and hadn't taken two steps when he heard someone calling him.
Chen Ao turned around and was slightly surprised. I saw a 60-year-old Chinese character face, which made people feel that he was an upright person at a glance and would never touch porcelain. I pick up a wallet on the ground. walked over to Chen Ao, but Chen Ao was surprised not because this uncle looked like an elder, nor because he was not ignorant of that uncle. What's more, that wallet is not his. Martial arts practice to the point where he is, even if he is distracted again. Something fell on his body, and he would sense it immediately. What surprised him was the beautiful figure of several people who were walking behind the uncle.
Retracting his surprised gaze, Chen Ao smiled slightly: "Uncle, this wallet is not mine." It may have been dropped by someone else. You are mistaken. ”
Before the uncle could speak, four people came from behind the uncle. One of them is Chen Ao, a dimple beauty who has already seen twice. However, her eyes have been on this uncle, and Chen Ao's figure was blocked by the uncle's figure.
And at this time, a man in a straight suit in a big winter. spoke to the uncle first: "Dad, in this winter, you have to go to the Great Wall to see the snow." Why are you running so fast? What should I do if I slip in heavy snow? ”
The uncle completely ignored his son's words, and asked Chen Ao, "Young man, you can see clearly. It's really not your wallet. ”
For such a kind uncle, Chen Ao could only take out his wallet: "It's really not mine, uncle, you see my wallet is here." ”
After explaining clearly to the kind uncle, Chen Ao said hello to Lin Yiqi, who hadn't seen him until now: "You won't know me so soon." ”
"Chen Ao, why are you here?" Lin Yiqi only discovered Chen Ao at this time and asked in surprise.
Chen Ao looked at a few people beside her and said, "I've been walking around in the past few months, didn't I send a message to tell you." What about you, going out with your family? ”
"Well, come with my parents, my brother and my brother to see the Great Wall. It's rare for the whole family to be free. Lin Meinu held an old lady who looked like her six or seven years in her hand and said to Chen Ao.
"Yo, young man, I know my daughter. Girl, why don't you introduce it? The kind-hearted uncle saw that Chen Ao knew his daughter, and he also smiled and spoke.
"Dad, this is Chen Ao. The last time I went to my cousin's wedding, I met him, and he was the best man. Lin Yiqi hurriedly introduced it to her family.
"Hello uncle, I'm Chen Ao. Aunt is so .........." Under Lin Yiqi's introduction, Chen Ao greeted her family one by one, in addition to her parents, the man in the suit was her eldest brother, called Lin Shixiong. I greeted him and nodded in response. And her younger brother is a second-year teenager in his early twenties, and Chen Ao doesn't say a word back when he greets him. Instead, he urged impatiently: "You're done getting acquainted, hurry up and find a place to eat." On a cold day, you have to come here to suffer from the cold. ”
Father Lin saw that his son looked like he had no tutor, so he immediately opened his mouth to teach a lesson: "How can you talk, you have no politeness at all." But before he could say a word, he was pressed down by Mother Lin: "Okay, he's still young." Don't be sensible, Yiqi's friend, you won't mind" No way, this little son was born to Lin's mother when she was almost 40 years old. has been spoiled since he was a child, if Father Lin hadn't been in front of outsiders. I don't usually talk about being bored. I can only mutter, a loving mother is a loser.
Chen Ao saw that they were about to quarrel, so he could only laugh and say that he didn't mind. On the contrary, Lin Yiqi's eldest brother frowned and glared at his younger brother fiercely. Lin Shijie, a second-year teenager, closed his mouth and wanted to open his mouth to refute.
"Xiao Ao, you don't mind if I call you that. It's almost noon, and you're alone. It's better to go to dinner together, it's rare to meet Xiaoqi's friends here. Father Lin said a few words about his son, and then turned his head to talk to Chen Ao.
Chen Ao was suddenly invited to dinner, and he didn't know whether to refuse or agree for a while. While hesitating, Lin Yiqi spoke first: "Yes, Chen Ao." It's rare to meet, let's go together. ”
Seeing that Lin Yiqi had spoken, Chen Ao also wanted to get along more with this girl who had a good impression of her. He simply nodded generously in agreement. Accompanied the family all the way to chat without a word, walked to the exit of the Great Wall Scenic Area, and handed over the wallet to the manager. I took their car all the way to a very classical restaurant.
There weren't many tables in the restaurant, and they were almost full when they came. After sitting in the restaurant for a while, Chen Ao saw the guys serving food everywhere, but he didn't see any waiters coming to order, so he asked Lin Yiqi, who was sitting next to him, suspiciously: "Why didn't anyone come to order?" ”
Without waiting for Lin Yiqi to speak, Lin Shixiong first answered on behalf of his sister: "The owner of this restaurant is the heir of the imperial chef, and there is no menu. Eat whatever you want today. Nothing to pick. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a waiter brought up a few dishes. But the second-year teenager next to Chen Ao was muttering in a low voice: "I don't know this, I don't know it." ”
Although the voice is small, except for the two old men, the position is a little farther away. Chen Ao and the three of them heard it, and the Lin family brothers and sisters glared at their little brother fiercely. As the eldest brother, Lin Shixiong also had to come out to play a round: "Brother Chen, don't be like him, this guy is spoiled." Speak without brains. Come, how about trying this dish first. ”
Chen Ao didn't bother to bother with the little kid, just smiled. I first sandwiched the vegetables to Lin's father and Lin's mother: "Uncle and aunt, you taste it first." ”
"You're welcome, you eat too." Father Lin was also the first time he was picked up by outsiders, and he was a little at a loss.
Chen Ao regretted a little at this time, and came over to eat together for the sake of the beauty. But everyone is here, so I can only bury my head in eating generously, and I don't talk much.
Just when Chen Ao and the others were eating quietly, a female greeting guest wearing a cheongsam suddenly said, "Everyone, the following dish." It's a dish that our boss learned from ancient books. As long as everyone in the room can eat what kind of material it is made of. Today's meal will be free of charge by our Pinxianglou, and in the future, we can ask our boss to order a table of wine and food for you. But you'll have to pay for it. ”
As soon as the words fell, there were several good-looking waitresses, holding a steaming clay cup in both hands. One table at a time, one by one, was placed on the tables of all those present. The female greeter also took a copy from the waiter's hand and brought it in the direction of Chen Ao. Soon someone looked at the clay cup and spoke: "Why is there only soup, and nothing else." What a name, and it doesn't smell like anything. ”
At this time, the female greeter stopped at Chen Ao's table and put the clay cup on the table. He also said hello to Father Lin: "Hello Mr. Lin, please try it, this is what my father just researched." It's good for the body. You don't visit to drink more. ”
"Clear water ripples," Chen Ao said in a low voice at this time. The female greeter who came up next to her turned her head and glanced at Chen Ao. Surprised, he asked, "How does Sir know the name of this dish, this is what my father found out from the ancient books left by my ancestors." It took three years of hard work to develop. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table stared at Chen Ao. Chen Ao can't say that when I was the emperor as my wife in the past, my grandson wanted to honor himself. specially invited famous chefs from all over the world into the palace, and then drank this soup himself, and left this imperial chef to cook it for him. I could only say nonsense: "Oh, when I used to learn art from an old Taoist. He deliberately got it once, and I drank it once. Because it's more special, I remembered it. ”
The female greeter asked, "Then dare to ask sir, now that the Taoist chief is there, can you bring my father over to ask for advice?" ”
Chen Ao can only use the bridge that has been used in the novel for a long time: "It's a pity that Lao Dao passed away the year before last." Now you can't find it. ”
The female welcome looked at Chen Ao with an expression of deceitful ghost and said, "Why is what Mr. said so similar to the story of the starting point novel." ”
"I don't read anything, the beginning and the end of the novel, you laughed. Lao Dao had indeed passed away the year before last. Why don't I try this soup and see what the difference is from the old way? Chen Ao could only divert the topic and turn everyone's attention back to the soup in front of him.
"Then please taste it." The female welcome was not easy to pursue, and reached out to help Chen Ao serve a small bowl of soup first.
Seeing the scene in front of him, as if he had returned to Da Zhou, Chen Ao's momentum changed. is like an emperor, and with a wave of his hand, he is like signaling the palace maid to go down. The female greeter was also like a subordinate, and was intimidated by Chen Ao's momentum. When I turned around, I wanted to leave, but as soon as I turned around, I felt that it was inappropriate. I'm not a maid, so what does this mean by waving my hand to let me go down? Immediately turned around and kicked Chen Ao.
Chen Ao knew that something was wrong with a wave of his hand, and hurriedly said embarrassedly: "There was a mosquito flying in my ear just now." Everyone drinks soup, drinks soup. ”
"Well, the soup is good, but it lacks some flavor. The material of the lotus seed is a little worse than the snow lotus, and the clay cup is useless. Black terracotta pots should be used. There is also a lack of excipients in it. The water didn't work either, the soup wasn't clear enough. Chen Ao just took a sip and picked out a few faults.
"Cut, as if you've actually drunk it. I didn't even know that there was a famous restaurant just now. It's still there. The second junior said in a tone of inadequacy.
Before Lin Shixiong could reprimand them, the female greeter next to him had a shocked expression: "You have really drunk the original version of the water and stepped on the ripples, sir, wait a minute." I'm going to call my dad now, you tell him. As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to the back kitchen.
Gotcha, this slap in the face is too fast. Before the second secondary school teenager could react, he was already slapped in the face. I can only say abruptly: "Who knows if it's blind?"
"You don't talk to no one when you're dumb, and then say a word. You earn your pocket money for the year yourself. Lin Shixiong was also angry with his younger brother, although he knew that his younger brother had low emotional intelligence. But I didn't expect it to be so low. If it weren't for the presence of his parents, he would have slapped him in the face. But I also thought in my heart, go home and teach this second cargo a lesson.
The two old men of the Lin family also felt that their son-in-law was too brainless to speak, and their eyes widened. The second secondary boy shrank to the side like a quail, and did not dare to say a word anymore.
After Lin Yiqi also glared at her spoiled younger brother, she chatted with Chen Ao about how many places he had run these days, what he was busy with, and so on. The female greeter who had just walked away walked out with a middle-aged fat cook, and the cook looked excited. The people at the table around him kept greeting him, and he casually replied. walked all the way towards Chen Ao.
