Then, Gu Jinlai asked Cheng Jingling about the progress of his martial arts cultivation, and when he learned that his big stele wrestler and the Bear Sword had been completed, he was even more happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Good, good!" Gu Jinlai laughed and said: "With such understanding, I am not afraid that your martial arts cultivation will not be able to catch up with the progress of cultivation, and you will be at the bottom of the combat power in the same realm." Also... The more you can kill the enemy, how can your martial arts cultivation be bad? ”

Cheng Jingling was a little embarrassed when he was praised, so he could only scratch his head and smirk.

Gu Jinlai continued: "Yesterday, Lao Yuan found me and mentioned the arrangement for you in the guard, which is to let you take over the iron-clad errand position of Li Tuanjie of the Yinqi Iron First Team, and he should retire in more than a month..."

Li Unity of the Iron First Team? Cheng Jingling remembered the little old man with a kind face and a smile when he saw everyone.

When Cheng Jingling and Wu Kuan were chatting before, they also talked about Li Tuanjie's imminent retirement. At that time, Cheng Jingling never expected that he would take over his position.

Listening to the meaning of the ancient and modern words, Cheng Jingling's promotion to the iron-clad messenger is already a certainty.

"But..."Gu Jinlai's voice changed, and he said, "Yesterday, Lao Yuan and I never thought that you would be able to break through to the Blood Refining Realm so quickly. In this way, after making such a great achievement, the cultivation is already refining blood, and working in the position of cloth guard for more than a month is really a bit wronged by you..."

"It's okay, grandpa, it's only been more than a month, I'm not in a hurry, I don't have any grievances." Cheng Jingling doesn't care about authenticity.

Gu Jinlai shook his head, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and muttered: "The captain of the silver first team and the iron first team has been vacant since the first half of the year, and there has never been a suitable candidate. If you go, you will be able to take care of the king serpent. ”

Go to the Silver First Team? With a team of King Snake, Cheng Jingling thought that it seemed to be not bad.

But before Cheng Jingling could express his opinion, he saw Gu Jinlai shaking his head and muttering to himself: "It's not proper, Xiao Jianqiu's kid has a lot of thoughts, and his stomach is full of bad water, if you go to his subordinates to obey orders, you may suffer in case of trouble." And he is Li Lanxiang's person, if you want to be transferred to the silver team, you also need to say hello to Li Lanxiang's girls. The iron-clad post of the Silver One Iron Team has been vacant for so long, and no successor has been arranged, and the internal strife is estimated to be very serious. If you parachute directly into it, even if you are covered by a king snake, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stretch your fists and feet, and it will be easy to be targeted by people in the air..."

After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Jinlai suddenly clenched his right hand with a fist hammer in the palm of his left hand, and said with certainty: "It's not good to go to the silver first team, it's better to stay in the silver seventh team, your grandfather Yuan can take care of you more!" It's so decided, you still succeed to the position of Li Tuanjie of the first team of the Silver Seven Irons! ”

Seeing that Gu Jinlai thought about it for such a big time, and finally made the original plan, Cheng Jingling said with a little cry and laughter: "I just said it, grandpa, it's just more than a month, and I can't afford to wait, it's okay!" ”

"Nope! Not to make you wait a month. Gu Jinlai shook his head and explained: "I mean, just let Li Tuanjie retire early, and give you the position of the iron-clad messenger of the Silver Seven Iron Team in these two days!" ”

"What?"

Cheng Jingling almost thought that he had misheard, and when he saw that the ancient and modern times looked like this, he said with some embarrassment: "Let the family give me the position?" This... Is that good? I'm an old-timer, if this matter gets out, what will my colleagues think of me? Even if you don't say it on the surface, you have to poke me in the back behind my back. Grandpa, or don't you? It's just over a month, it's not a long time..."

"What do you want, boy?" Gu Jinlai smiled and said: "Let Li Tuanjie retire a month early, and not fire him out of the military guard, what's wrong?" On the contrary, it's okay for him! The sooner he retires, the sooner his son succeeds him, and the less pressure he can have. We're arresting Wuwei, doing the job of pinning our heads to the waistband of our trousers, maybe tomorrow we will encounter some task and make people lose their lives, or, like me, become a waste. Let him retire early, it's too late for him to be happy! ”

The iron-clad detective is a grassroots official in the anti-military guard, and he is also the mainstay of the front line. When the anti-military guards are dispatched to the mission, they are basically based on iron-shaped squads, and the iron-clad detectives lead a group of cloth-clothed guards, and the pressure is actually not small. It's okay to say that a master like King Snake is a little weaker, and if his own hard power is a little worse, it is easy to encounter danger.

According to statistics, the rank with the highest casualty rate in the anti-military guard is not the lowest cloth-clothed guard, but precisely the iron-clad guard!

In the past, in the Silver Seventh Team, only Li Tuanjie was an iron-clad messenger in the Blood Refining Realm, so any more dangerous tasks were basically assigned to Li Tuanjie, and it was not until Lin Shuwu was also promoted to the Blood Refining Realm that he shared a lot of responsibilities for him.

It can be said that Li Tuanjie was able to work safely until retirement, which was inseparable from Li Jinsheng's sleek accident, and he never took the initiative to take on some difficult tasks, and pushed it whenever he could. If there is a leader like King Snake on the stall, Li Tuanjie is afraid that the grass on the grave will grow several stubbles.

It is precisely for this reason that it has been said in ancient and modern times that it is also a good thing for Li Tuanjie to retire as soon as possible.

After explaining it clearly through ancient and modern times, Cheng Jingling suddenly smiled embarrassedly: "That's the case... Then I have no opinion, just listen to your arrangement, grandpa! ”

The two of you said a word, and Cheng Jingling's breakfast was finished.

instructed Qingluo to remove the dishes from the table, and gave her some money to go out to buy vegetables, Cheng Jingling smiled at Gu Jinlai and said: "Grandpa, I'll cook at noon in a while, let's have a drink!" ”

"Okay, I'm here with you for the same reason! I'll tell you the truth, old man, I'm really a bit greedy for your boy's craft! Gu Jinlai agreed with a smile, and then looked at the courtyard of the Zhao family in the five households next to him, and said a little abruptly: "Speaking of which, I used to love to eat the dishes made by Xiao Zhao the most." What delicacies of the mountains and seas are in front of you, it is better to take a sip of steamed green bamboo shoots made by him, and then drink a sip of his Chunbo wine, which is so beautiful! It wasn't until Liu Sheng had an accident that I hid in Wenwutang, and I couldn't get out, I didn't dare to face the people and things I used to do before, and I never ate Xiao Zhao's dishes again. ”

Cheng Jingling, the dishman of Liuxiangfang, once went to eat with Wang Snake, which is really good, although his craftsmanship is not as good as his, but it is quite distinctive and can retain people very much.

But if you want to say that you can remember it for so many years, it is so delicious, in fact, it may not be. In fact, a few years have passed, and he may have forgotten what his favorite steamed green bamboo shoots tasted like.

It's just that the memories of the past are processed and reconstructed in his mind, and the taste of steamed green bamboo shoots is mixed with his old scenery, past joys, and lost hopes, which is why it is so delicious and moving.

If Gu Jinlai really went to Liuxiangfang that day and ate steamed green bamboo shoots again, then he would definitely be extremely disappointed and feel that the taste of this dish had changed.

But he didn't go, and now Zhao Shanhe is dead again. Since then, there has been no dish here in ancient and modern times that can surpass that steamed green bamboo shoots.

Cheng Jingling sighed with some regret: "I knew that grandpa wanted to eat, and the last time I ate, I went to buy the steamed green bamboo shoots..."

"Hehe, people are not as good as the sky, how can I be counted at that time and at that time?" Gu Jinlai shook his head and smiled, and said with emotion: "Actually, that day, I didn't want to eat steamed green bamboo shoots so much, otherwise I wouldn't have come back to West Eighth Street, and I didn't think about going to Xiao Zhao's house to have a look." At that time, I felt that there was still a lot of time, and I would have the opportunity to eat in the future, so I should do important things first. It was yesterday, when I learned the news of the death of Xiao Zhao's family, somehow, I suddenly wanted to eat this dish. Hehe, think about the last time Ah Sheng and I went to Liuxiangfang for dinner eight years ago, we were elated and wanton. At that time, I would have expected that it would be the last time I would meet Xiao Zhao. ”

Life is a long journey, and you will meet and say goodbye to many people along the way. Sometimes, there are people or things that you thought were only a brief separation, but you never saw each other again.

It's a pity that you didn't even say goodbye to each other when you parted, but just said goodbye lightly, thinking it was just an ordinary day in your life.
