Chapter 11 – The Fat Cook

"Uncle Wu! I am hungry! ”

Lin Yuan crossed the last path and finally saw where the kitchen was.

The cooking smoke drifted away along the window, and the cook inside also poked his head out when he heard Lin Yuan's shout, and replied with a smile on his face:

"My little Engong, it's been more than a day since I went down the mountain, and now I remember Uncle Wu?"

The man who called himself Uncle Wu was fat, with a large waist and a round waist, and his clothes were full of stains from oil smoke, and he seemed to have a shabby robe around his waist to block the splashing oil.

Jumping and running to the window, Lin Yuan was not too dirty, he leaned forward directly, put his arms on the edge of the window, and then looked at the fat cook inside, if he didn't remember his facial features, Lin Yuan really didn't dare to recognize it!

"Wow! Uncle Wu, why haven't you seen you for a few years, and you are so mellow? Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

The chef's oily face was still smiling, and his hands kept stir-frying the dishes in the pot, and replied: "This is because the owner of the house is kind-hearted, and there is meat at once, can you not be blessed?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuan pretended to be furious, raised his hand and pointed at the cook, and said, "Phew! In broad daylight, you dare to accuse the head of the family, what crime should you be guilty of? ”

Hurriedly put down the spatula in his hand, the cook reached out and patted the corner of his mouth a few times, and replied with an attitude of admitting his mistake: "Look at me, a rough man, I can't talk but my brain, palm mouth!" ”

When the play was over, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the cook continued to pick up the spatula and work.

"Xiao Engong, you sit down for a while, this dish will be made for you when it comes out of the pot, what do you want to eat?" Uncle Wu asked.

Lin Yuan replied, "Don't be in a hurry", and slowly walked to the steps at the door of the kitchen and sat down.

After a stir-fry, the cook shouted, "Get out of the pot and serve!" A subordinate hurriedly ran over, not noticing Lin Yuan on the side, until he took the plate of food with both hands, and then swept to the eldest young master sitting on the steps, she hurriedly bent down and saluted in a panic, and the dishes in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"See...... I've seen the eldest young master......"

Lin Yuan was a little funny, stepped forward to help her up with both hands, and asked with a smile: "I don't eat people, is it so terrible?" ”

When she raised her head, Lin Yuan realized that it was a girl of the same age as herself, her face was dusty, her hair was messy, and the clothes on her body were even more exaggerated, as if she had rolled in the mud.

Being treated like this by Lin Yuan, this girl was a little flattered, and she didn't dare to look at Lin Yuan, and stammered: "The head of the family ordered, who ...... Whoever neglects the eldest young master will be expelled from the Lin Mansion. ”

Lin Yuan closed his eyes in some pain, no wonder the subordinates of the Lin Mansion cowered when they saw him today.

Seeing Lin Yuan's demeanor, the little girl thought that she had made the eldest young master unhappy by saying the wrong thing, and she was about to kneel on the ground to atone for her sins, but fortunately, Lin Yuan was quick and grabbed her.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yuan was puzzled.

The girl's body trembled slightly, and tears slipped down her cheeks and fell on her pointed chin, dripping onto her clothes.

"It's me...... It was I who had no courtesy to collide with the eldest young master, and begged the eldest young master to be gracious and not to drive me out of the house. The girl said, sobbing.

Lin Yuan is really a head and two big, and his image is completely ruined thanks to his unscrupulous sister! Although it was not good in the first place......

"I don't blame you, it's just a no-brainer, this ...... I ......" Lin Yuan was poor in words, he didn't know how to coax girls at all.

The girl thought that Lin Yuan had not forgiven him, so she planned to kneel down again.

Lin Yuan grabbed her arm and stomped her foot in a hurry.

Fortunately, at this moment, Uncle Wu leaned out of the window and said with a smile: "Mo girl, the eldest young master didn't blame you, and he won't drive you away, he is having a headache about other things." ”

The girl raised her tearful cheeks and looked at Lin Yuan, only after the latter nodded frantically before she got up.

Lin Yuan looked at the girl's cheeks washed by tears, he rolled up his sleeves and planned to wipe her, even if the girl dodged in every possible way, she couldn't escape Lin Yuan's "claws".

It wasn't until Lin Yuan felt that he was almost wiped that he let go of the girl.

"Okay, let's go eat, otherwise the food will be cold for a while." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

The girl lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Yuan.

The cook lying at the window was full of smiles, and when Lin Yuan cast a look of help, he said, "Xiao Mo, go to the dining room, otherwise the eldest young master will really get angry!" ”

As soon as she heard this, the girl ran away without a trace.

Lin Yuan sat back on the steps weakly, complaining to Lin Weiyang in his heart.

"What do you want to eat?" The cook asked.

"Egg noodles!" Lin Yuan replied angrily.

As soon as he finished speaking, a steaming bowl of egg noodles appeared beside him.

The familiar fragrance entered his nose, Lin Yuan looked along the bowl with some surprise, the cook was holding a large bowl in both hands, and was carefully sitting next to him, but the larger body was too narrow, and it was really difficult to sit down.

Hurriedly taking the big bowl from the cook's hand, Lin Yuan moved his ass to make him sit down.

The two of them just huddled on the steps, both holding the same noodles in their hands.

"You guessed I'm going to eat this?" Lin Yuan looked at the plain noodles in the bowl, and the side dishes were only two fried eggs and green vegetables, he picked up his chopsticks and stirred the noodles in his hand.

The cook smiled: "Aren't you just good at this, how did you say that, Shan......"

He couldn't remember, Lin Yuan reminded: "I can choose the delicacies of the mountains and seas......

"Defeat a bowl of egg noodles!" The cook inserted chopsticks into the noodles and patted his fat thighs and said.

Lin Yuan smiled and picked up the noodles and put them in his mouth, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

This bowl of noodles is still delicious!

Seeing Lin Yuan's gobbling up, the cook also began to eat.

The two of them ate soup and water, which was extremely indecent.

After a while, Lin Yuan's bowl was empty, and there wasn't even a drop of soup left.

Lin Yuan held the bowl in one hand, touched his satisfied belly, and said, "Uncle Wu, what's the situation with that girl?" ”

No matter how Lin Yuan accused his unscrupulous sister, he knew that Lin Weiyang would never treat his subordinates badly in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, but the girl just now seemed to have just fled, and Lin Weiyang couldn't let it go.

With a faint sigh, Uncle Wu put down the noodles he had just picked up, looked at Lin Yuan and said, "That little girl just came to the house, when the head of the house came back from going out, she was rescued by a horse bandit on the road, and the head of the house saw that she was pitiful, so he brought her back. ”

"Don't have family?" Lin Yuan asked.

The cook shook his head, and said vaguely: "I don't say anything, and I refuse to wash and change my clothes, and I only know her surname Mo, but when the head of the house handed her over to me, he told me that she seemed to have been sold by her family, so she didn't want to go back, so he gave her a simple errand to serve the food." ”

Lin Yuan scratched his head and said, "Sister Weiyang will actually take in people from unknown sources, unlike her style." ”

After solving the noodles in the bowl, the cook wiped the soup from his mouth directly, looked at Lin Yuan with a strange face and said, "Sometimes, you are quite smart, but it is also quite outrageous to be stupid." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Yuan was puzzled.

The cook stretched out his hand and flicked Lin Yuan's head, and said, "Think about your own experience at that time." ”

Lin Yuan reacted now, Lin Weiyang saw his own shadow in that little girl.

With another long sigh, Lin Yuan really had a headache.

"What's wrong?" The cook asked curiously.

Lin Yuan tilted his head to look at the cook and said, "Uncle Wu, you tell me the truth, Sister Weiyang wiped out the Liu Mansion back then, is there really no one left?" ”

The cook's round face was full of surprise, and he said, "Why do you suddenly ask this, you want to know if you just ask your sister?" ”

This is exactly where Lin Yuan has a headache, he doesn't want to, or rather, doesn't want to question Lin Weiyang.

But today's thunderous words really made Lin Yuan have to care.

If what Lei Ming said is true, then Lin Weiyang definitely has something to hide in the matter of the destruction of the Liu Mansion.

But if he deliberately provoked it, wouldn't he be extremely distrustful of her when he questioned Lin Weiyang?

It's not to ask, it's not to ask.

Lin Yuan's head was about to crack.

Seeing that the eldest young master was speechless, the cook guessed where Lin Yuan was depressed, he patted Lin Yuan with a smile and said, "After all, you two sisters and brothers grew up from childhood, what can't be said openly." ”

Listening to the cook's tone, Lin Yuan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "How can it be so simple!" ”

The cook knew that it would definitely be useless to say it so bluntly, Lin Yuan had reached a dead end, so he rolled his eyes, patted his round belly and said, "Little Engong, look, what is this?" ”

Tilting his head and glancing, Lin Yuan said, "Belly!" ”

"That's right, if I ask you, what is in my belly? You might answer? The cook continued.

Lin Yuan didn't open his mouth to answer, he shook the empty bowl in his hand, meaning: Aren't you talking nonsense!

The cook nodded, and he said, "You know because you see what I eat, and if you don't see it at noon today, but you want to know what I'm eating, what would you do?" ”

"Ask you......" Lin Yuan blurted out three words, but each word was quieter than the other.

Lin Yuan then said: "These two things are different. ”

"What's the difference?" The cook asked.

Lin Yuan was silent, he couldn't answer.

The cook didn't speak again, he silently took the dishes and chopsticks in Lin Yuan's hand, walked back to the kitchen, and began to busy his own business.

He knew that Lin Yuan needed time to get out of the dead end.

"Is there really no difference between the two things?" Lin Yuan struggled with this question in his heart.

After being busy for a while, the cook poked his head out again, saw Lin Yuan's sluggish appearance, and couldn't help laughing.

"You're just thinking too much! You two are relatives, why bother so much! Don't you have something to hide from your sister? ”

"If you want to know something, just ask, if you think like you, no result is small, if your brothers and sisters are disgusted by this, then it will really outweigh the losses."

Pulled back to his senses by Uncle Wu's broken voice, Lin Yuan shook his head with a wry smile.

Yes, I also have things to hide from Lin Weiyang, for example, Feng Wuxin.

He didn't tell Lin Weiyang because he was afraid that she would be worried, or it would be inconvenient to tell her at the moment.

If she asked, she would definitely tell her all without reservation, even if she would be angry, crying, or making trouble, he would tell Lin Weiyang truthfully, and then play tricks on her to make her not angry.

Lin Yuan's heart knot was untied.

Perhaps, it's just because I've been on the mountain for too long that I don't know how to get along with Lin Weiyang.

Standing up with his hands on his knees, a ray of sunlight happened to shine on Lin Yuan's face through the gap in the clouds.

"It looks like it's going to be clear...... Lin Yuan muttered to himself.

Stretching comfortably, Lin Yuan walked to the window again and lay down, and said to Uncle Wu, who was chopping vegetables with a kitchen knife in both hands, "Uncle Wu, do me a favor." ”

Seeing this, the cook knew that Lin Yuan's heart knot had been untied, so he cut the vegetables by himself and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Yuan grinned and hooked his finger at the cook, signaling him to come over with his ear.

Seeing that Lin Yuan was so mysterious, the cook had no choice but to stop what he was doing and put his ear close to Lin Yuan.

After saying a lot, Uncle Wu squinted at Lin Yuan with his not very big eyes when he got up, and said angrily: "It's good to make a snack, but you let me buy those things as a big man, is there a lack of virtue?" ”

Helpless, Lin Yuan had no choice but to sacrifice a killing move again, and came to a "two-sleeved breeze".

After appreciating Lin Yuan's big eyes, the cook said, "Okay, I'll bring it back to you when I go out to buy in the afternoon." ”

"Come on, Uncle Wu!"

As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and fell behind Lin Yuan, making his whole body tremble.

Turning his head, he saw that it was Lin Sanli who had returned, and it was estimated that he had been looking for him for a long time.

"Are you hungry? Why don't you eat something first? Lin Yuan said.

Lin Sanli shook his head and said, "He, go back to Lei Mansion." ”

"Haven't been anywhere else in between?" Lin Yuan asked.

The answer was Lin Sanli's shaking his head again.

"Outside the house, someone is watching." Lin Sanli said.

This was something that Lin Yuan didn't expect, the thunder movement was so fast, it seemed that he was really afraid that something would go wrong in Feng Wu's heart.

"As long as those people don't enter the mansion to snoop, let them go, they should all be from the Lei Mansion." Lin Yuan said.

I have eaten enough, and my heart knot has been untied.

Lin Yuan planned to go back to his room to take a rest, and after having that dream in the morning, his body became extremely tired for some reason.

After greeting the two, Lin Yuan walked towards Lin Weiyang's boudoir, after all, he didn't know which room he was arranged in now, so he could only "make do" in Lin Weiyang's room.

In front of the kitchen, Lin Sanli and the cook were left staring at each other, and no one spoke.

However, Uncle Wu seemed a little unnatural and said, "You...... What do you want to eat? ”

Lin Sanli was silent for a while, and then said, "Whatever." ”

Maybe the chef is most afraid of these two words!

Rubbing his hands, Uncle Wu said again: "Why don't you have a bowl of egg noodles too?" ”

“...... Either way. ”

Yes, Bai asked, it is better to do it directly.

Let Lin Sanli wait for a while, and Uncle Wu began to gather this young master's lunch.
