Chapter 220: Fugu
The puffer fish is delicious, especially in the soup.
Of course, because puffer fish is very toxic, if it is not handled well, it can cause multi-organ failure and then fatal. So a good chef is very important to not only eliminate the toxicity of the pufferfish, but also ensure that the puffer fish is delicious.
There is a cloud viewing building next to the ancestral hall of the Ma family, the building is not high and only three floors, but it is all made of bamboo, so it is very elegant. There is a peony flower planted outside, and when you stand upstairs and look down, you can see a sea of purple and red flowers.
Ma Zhenbang stood on the edge of the building, looking at the peony flowers below, a somewhat rotten smell became more and more intense, Ma Zhenbang couldn't remember how long he hadn't taken a bath.
I originally thought that at this age, I should be able to see life and death clearly, but I didn't expect that it would be really difficult to accept such a day.
"Six bowls of puffer fish soup, it's actually six bowls! Isn't he even willing to wait these days? Ma Zhenbang's face had a complicated expression, ranging from regret to hatred to unwillingness.
Although he is willing to give up power, although he is willing to remove obstacles, and although he is willing to hand over everything to Ma Zhenguo, this does not mean that Ma Zhenbang is willing to take the initiative to die, even if he is living a hard life now.
The door was pushed open, Ma Jiaming and Ma Xiao walked in front, followed by three Ma family members, all of whom were very young, but their eyes that should have been bright were now full of apprehension.
"It's all here, sit down!" Ma Zhenbang motioned to his five grandsons: "Do you know why I came to you?" ”
The big guys looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first, and finally Ma Xiao stood up: "Grandpa, is it because of the Ma Family Fund?" ”
Some things are like lice on a bald head, obviously. Instead of waiting for others to say, it is better to take the initiative yourself. After all, if you stretch out your head and cut your head, you will also cut your head.
"It didn't disappoint me, I'm still a man who dares to be a man." Ma Zhenbang paused for crutches, and then sat on the stool: "Since you dare to stretch out your hand to the Ma family's family property, you have to bear the punishment of the Ma family." Originally, I wanted to sink you all, but now the Ma family is on the occasion of employing people......"
The mood is like a roller coaster, from the original thought that he would fall to the bottom, but he didn't expect that there was still a glimmer of life, everyone looked at Ma Zhenbang, expecting him to continue.
"Ma Zhao went to the Great Northwest, and he also needs the help of the Ma family, you had better write an application and take the initiative to support the construction of the Great Northwest, I hope you will not let me down again this time."
"Definitely, definitely!" Everyone's voices trembled, but they didn't expect the board raised high to fall gently in the end, and this result should be the best result.
Ma Zhenbang took two steps forward, pulled out the chair in front of the dining table, and said to everyone, "Sit down!" Accompany me to a meal, which can be regarded as a practice for you! ”
The big guys were stunned again, and then glanced at each other, Ma Jiaming's brows furrowed slightly, looked at Ma Zhenbang and asked, "Grandpa, do you have to eat this meal?" ”
Ma Zhenbang looked at Ma Jiaming suspiciously, and found that his expression was a little strange, and then looked at the other people, and found that their expressions were also very strange.
"All the wings are stiff, and you don't want to eat with me, an old man?" Ma Zhenbang snorted angrily and slapped the table: "Everyone sit down." ”
Everyone looked at Ma Jiaming and faintly thought that he was looking at the horse.
Ma Jiaming's originally slightly bowed waist straightened up a little bit, the smile in his eyes slowly dissipated, and he pulled out a stool and sat opposite Ma Zhenbang: "Since grandpa let us eat, then we will eat." Let's all sit down! ”
Ma Xiao pulled out the stool and sat next to Ma Jiaming: "Grandpa, I haven't eaten with you for a long time, I don't know what is delicious today's dishes?" ”
Ma Zhenbang had a faint guess, reached out and pressed the bell on the table, and the chef wearing a chef's hat pushed a dining cart and put plates of food on the table.
The smell of food fills the air, and the table is very hearty, and it is definitely full of color and flavor.
When the six-cup puffer fish soup was served on the table, everyone's faces were frightened, and they couldn't help but look at Ma Jiaming.
Ma Jiaming's whole face was stiff, and there was even a fierce light flashing in his eyes, and he looked at Ma Zhenbang silently.
After seeing this look, Ma Zhenbang understood! I get it all! Now he has no control over the Ma family, and the top and bottom are like a sieve, full of loopholes!
"Why, you don't want to eat this meal with me?" After Ma Zhenbang asked knowingly, he first reached out and picked up a cup of puffer fish soup.
Everyone didn't stop them, and no one spoke, and continued to look at Ma Zhenbang silently.
After all, Ma Xiao couldn't hold back and said, "Grandpa, you have to follow the laws of nature." Although it is good to retreat bravely, it also depends on whether it is a person who is entrusted to it. After all, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and your set of things is no longer suitable for this era! ”
Ma Zhenbang's face was full of smiles: "Then tell me, what is right now?" ”
Ma Xiao didn't dare to answer, but looked at Ma Jiaming as if asking for help, Ma Jiaming was smart: "I can't tell what is right, but I can confirm what is wrong, especially those feudal dross, it is outrageously wrong." ”
The Ma family was originally an iron plate, but as Ma Zhenbang got older and worse, his health became worse and worse, and after calling Ma Zhenguo back, cracks appeared on the iron plate of the Ma family.
The two lines represent two strata of interests, and this kind of line dispute is irreconcilable. Therefore, in the eyes of young people, Ma Zhenbang has stood on the opposite side of everyone.
Ma Zhenbang was helpless, reached out and knocked on the bell on the table, watching Ma Zhenguo and Ma Jiji walk in, Ma Zhenbang's brows furrowed and asked, "Who arranged it?" ”
Ma Zhenguo didn't hide it, nodded directly and said: "I arranged it, and it was also deliberate." ”
Sensing Ma Zhenbang's doubts, Ma Zhenguo said: "I have a manor in West Africa, and there is a pool of crocodiles on the manor, and I count the number of crocodiles every month. That's why I like to throw a bloody duck into the crocodile pool......"
Ma Zhenbang's complexion changed, but he didn't expect Ma Zhenbang to say this, it turned out that in his mind, he was a duck with blood.
The faces of the young people around him also changed slightly, it turned out that what they knew was what Ma Zhenguo wanted them to know!
Ma Zhenguo continued: "I have not been in the country for all these years, although I am outside the Ma family, but I also know that the water of the Ma family is very deep, so I think if I take over the Ma family, which way should I ensure the best interests of the Ma family." But I thought about it for a long time, and found that it couldn't be done at all, because I can't influence your attitude......"
Ma Jiaming couldn't help but stand up: "Because you are not from the Ma family, your roots are not in Huaxia, if you are asked to lead the Ma family, it will only make the Ma family doomed!" ”
Looking at the tense two sides, Ma Zhenbang doubted for the first time whether his choice was wrong, his eyes kept changing, and he faintly made a decision.
