Chapter 45 On Cooking Praise Speech
Bai Zongping saw that she was kind to Lin Jianlan, but she spoke coldly to herself, and he was also angry for a while, and said: "It's good that I'm not going to steal that thing, in the end, it's just a thing used by a woman, what's the benefit for me, it's just that I've been troubled for nothing!"
Lu Man smiled lightly, slowly walked in front of Bai Zongping and said softly: "Second senior brother is so temperamental! I see that thing is rare, you will join me without saying a word, we are senior brothers and sisters from childhood to adulthood, if you are not good to me, who will be good to me?" and pouted softly: "I have always spoken like this, are you still angry with me?"
She muttered softly, her expression was a little cowardly in the moonlight, she was very moving, how could Bai Zongping withstand such a plea from this junior sister who was usually very fond of her, so she had to sigh and said: "Senior sister, I will not be angry with you at all." ”
Lu Manxi said: "That's right, let me tell you the truth, the baby is still in the wooden box in your arms!"
Bai Zongping exclaimed: "But I saw you throw a golden mussel on the ground just now......
Lu Man said: "This is put in my hands by my younger brother, as for where he got it, I have to let him tell it himself." ”
Lin Jianlan saw that the two of them were reconciled at this time, and came up and said with a smile: "The little brother saw that the hairpins on the dresser in the room just now are all fashionable styles, presumably the owner of the house should be a beautiful person from a rich and noble family. Then he smiled and said: "It's also lucky, when I crossed the river just now, Sister Man took me to swim over, I was pulled by her other hand but very panicked, scratching everywhere, when I came to the shore, I grabbed a hand of mud, there was a small river mussel in it, and the 'golden crown folded mussel' came from this!"
Lu Man said with a smile: "My brother is really a little ghost, thinking that those two old thieves are still serious, if you find out that you have been deceived, maybe you will be angry!"
Although Bai Zongping has always been suspicious of Lin Jianlan, he also smiled when he heard Lu Man talk about Ding Leiding's angry appearance, and said with a straight face: "But we still have to leave quickly, this is not a place to stay for a long time." ”
After walking for about a pillar of incense, just stepped out of the dense forest, more than a dozen people rushed to the side of the road in an instant, all of them were holding lanterns, obviously waiting here for a long time, seeing this scene, the three of them couldn't help but secretly scream in their hearts.
In just a moment, these people suddenly spread out to both sides, making way for a way, and an old man with a white beard and white hair slowly approached, looking quite majestic, looking at Lin Jianlan for a while, Lin Jianlan was surprised, but saw the old man with a happy face and said: "Sure enough, it's Lin Gongzi." ”
Lin Jianlan didn't know him, the three of them looked at each other, and then heard the old man's tone become very respectful and said: "Little boy, his subordinate is Wan Jianhong, the master of the Jinzhou Branch, and the old man heard about the matter here not long ago, so he hurried over, but fortunately, the son was not in danger, otherwise this heavy responsibility will never be able to bear it!"
Lu Man said "ah": "Is the old-timer the old-timer known as 'Changhong Endless'?"
Wan Jianhong didn't answer, but only said to Lin Jianlan: "Are these two friends of Gongzi?"
Lin Jianlan thought that this time it would definitely fall into the hands of the Imperial Kousi, but unexpectedly, he met the hall master of Jinzhou Hall in a circle, and bowed down in a daze: "The junior has seen the master of the Ten Thousand Hall, but I don't know how the seniors recognize the juniors?"
Wan Jianhong said with a smile: "Little boy doesn't have to be polite, I saw you in your courtyard back then, after a long time, you have grown up a lot, if it weren't for the shadow of the past, the old man really didn't recognize it, let's go back to the branch hall first and then make plans." ”
Lu Man really couldn't imagine that the identity of this young man who met in the countryside wild shop seemed to be above Wan Jianhong, a martial arts master, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, just stood aside silently. Lin Jianlan saw that the two of them were in an embarrassing situation, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Wan, the younger generation is separated from Uncle Qing, and he doesn't understand the rules of walking in the rivers and lakes, so he got into trouble, and he also involved my two friends......
But I saw Wan Jianhong waving his hand and said: "Childe doesn't need to say much, my subordinates have already found out the ins and outs of the matter, Childe is a person who values love and righteousness, he is not only your friend, but also a distinguished guest of the Jinzhou Branch, so he should be invited over to entertain him, and the two of you please come with me!" After saying that, Lin Jianlan's hand left by his own, and Lu Man hurriedly pulled Bai Zongping to follow, and in an instant, the Kuang Yi Gang subordinates on the road all withdrew cleanly, and there was silence again.
The three of them came to the branch hall to freshen up and tidy up, and they were invited to the flower hall, but no one was there, Lu Man quietly walked behind Lin Jianlan and said, "Thank you brother for your kindness just now." ”
Lin Jianlan said: "The three of us have been through the ups and downs all the way here, and it is not the same who will take care of it, but I can't imagine that it will alarm the branch hall, so I just hope that I won't cause trouble for them." ”
But I heard a hearty laugh outside: "Kuang Yi helps even the people of their Imperial Kousi." Wan Jianhong stepped on the door and said: "Childe don't worry, people are foolproof when they come to us, if we fight with the Imperial Kousi, it may not mean that we have lost the upper hand, if we are not willing to fight, I also have a way to cover up the past." ”
Lu Man was shocked in his heart and said: "I didn't expect this young man to be the young son of the Kuangyi Gang, hey, I'm not confused, Lin Longqing, the leader of the Kuangyi Gang, but his name is Lin Jianlan." was thinking wildly, but listened to Wan Jianhong say: "The two young heroes are really newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and this time they actually let the people of the Imperial Kou Division plant their heads, and the old people have to give a thumbs up!"
Lu Man's face turned red, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't reported to the master yet, so he hurriedly stood up and worshipped: "The old man is wrong, the junior Nanhai Lu Man, my mother Li Meijiang, this is my second senior brother, the younger generation offended the people of the Imperial Kou Division for a while, but involved your son, I'm really sorry." ”
Wan Jianhong bowed his head and said: "You are also young heroes, and the little boy should have more acquaintances with you." But suddenly stroked his palms and said: "I am careless by nature, I actually forgot that you ran away all night, I must have been hungry, just now my wife heard from her subordinates that there may be the whereabouts of Lin Gongzi, you must come and cook in person, she has not been in charge of the spoon for many years, even I have borrowed Lin Gongzi's light, three of you come with me!"
Lin Jianlan looked dazed, and didn't know what was special about Mrs. Wan's master, Lu Man said softly as he walked: "The younger generation heard that the wife of Senior Wan is the daughter of the 'first chef' Zhao family, a pair of wonderful hands, but it's a pity that the Zhao family's rules can't allow women to come out to take charge of the store, otherwise, with Mrs. Wan's craftsmanship and resolute means, I'm afraid that the current master will be several times stronger? ”
Wan Jianhong listened to Lu Man's words, and his heart was very useful, and he said with a smug face: "I didn't expect that your girl is her confidant, but there are some things that can't be said, now my wife's younger brother manages the Zhao family carefully, quite steadily, and has the style of everyone." ”
A few people laughed and walked into the backyard, and saw a white-faced man greet him and said, "Ma Xiuren in the Lower Jinzhou Branch, I have seen Lin Gongzi! With that, he led the four of them into the hall. Lin Jianlan looked up and saw an ancient wooden round table in the middle of the hall, on which a table of dishes was dazzling, all of which were bright in color and fragrant, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table were all silverware, adding to the luxury.
Wan Jianhong smiled and said: "Come, Lin Gongzi, please take a seat, this table is specially set up for Lin Gongzi!" After that, Lin Jianlan was pushed to the upper seat, Lin Jianlan's face turned red, and said: "Uncle Wan is here, how can the younger generation sit on the upper seat?
Wan Jianhong said: "Even so, I won't force you! If you have to sit down, you won't eat happily, you can sit casually!"
At this moment, it was not yet dawn, a number of lamps were lit in the hall, Lin Jianlan sat down and saw the candle shadow shaking red and reflecting the dining utensils, which seemed to be like water shining silver for a while, and sighed: "Uncle Wan's eating utensils are so exquisite, the younger generation is really knowledgeable!"
Wan Jianhong said: "These utensils are my wife's maiden dowry, not the guests are reluctant to take them out, or we ourselves, we just use the chopsticks inside! Although it is in the gang, it must not be guarded against!" After that, he raised his wine glass with a smile, but his face suddenly changed color, and when several people looked at it, the inner wall of the wine glass had turned black!
Ma Xiuren, who was standing next to him, exclaimed, "Poisonous? This wine was bought by me just now......!"
Wan Jianhong smiled: "I don't suspect you, you go down, don't make a noise, and secretly track down the wine seller and the little minions in the hall." He turned around and said, "We have to replace wine with tea!
Lu Man said: "Although there is no wine, it is not a pity to be able to taste the skills of the first chef!"
Several people picked one by one with silver chopsticks, and sure enough, there was nothing to do, and they were relieved to eat. Lin Jianlan saw that the dishes on the table were quite exquisite, and pointed to one of the plates casually and said, "I don't know what the name of this dish is?" Wan Jianhong smiled: "The name of the inner child is Jade White Jade, I am a rough person, what this and that, in fact, it is cabbage roasted tofu!"
Lin Jianlan said: "Aunt Wan really has a pair of wonderful hands, the tofu is warm and moist, the cabbage is cool, this warm and cool match is just right, and it is even more rare to get into the taste, the tofu seems to have a vegetable flavor, but the cabbage contains the fragrance of beans, worthy of the name of jade and white jade!"
As soon as the words fell, someone outside the door clapped his hands and said: "I have been appreciated by Lin Gongzi, and it is not in vain for me to think about it!" Lin Jianlan looked back, but a middle-aged woman came in, and hurriedly got up and said: "The younger generation visited Aunt Wan, and if you disturb today, you will actually work for Uncle Wan's mother to cook by herself." ”
The woman hurriedly smiled and said, "Childe doesn't have to be polite. Said walked to the table and said: "I have been nurtured by the family since I was a child, I like to ponder the cooking skills on weekdays, who said that it is not comparable to the mountains and rivers, but I also hope that someone appreciates, this dish seems simple, in fact, the work before the pot is very laborious, to wrap the tofu with fresh vegetables, slow steaming with fire, the tofu is cooked but can not be cooked, so the tofu can retain the umami of the vegetables, and the cabbage inside is also cooked in the same way." ”
Lin Jianlan nodded, but said with another smile: "No wonder Uncle Wan has not been able to taste the delicacies cooked by Uncle Wan's mother for many years!"
Mrs. Wan also smiled and said: "He is a whirlwind every time, and then there are two words 'delicious', and nothing else, and I am bored to death, so I simply don't make it for him to eat!"
But I heard Lu Man pointing to a plate of dishes and said, "The taste of this dish is really indescribable, I don't know what the name is?"
Mrs. Wan smiled slightly and said, "This dish is called 'Invincible Cold'." ”
Lin Jianlan said strangely: "Oh, I don't know how to explain?"
Mrs. Wan said: "The son will know if he tastes it himself." ”
Lin Jianlan took a sip, only to feel that the entrance was sticky and soft, the taste was sweet, it seemed that one more point would be too greasy, and one point less would be light, there seemed to be countless strange flavors in the middle, and there seemed to be a faint sour and bitter taste looming, which made people want to taste the second bite, but they didn't dare to taste the second bite, and they couldn't help but sigh.
Mrs. Wan said, "Why is Childe sighing?"
Lin Jianlan said: "I sigh that Mrs. Madame's name is absolutely amazing, these two sighs are sighs, Mrs. Cooking's skills can no longer be taken to the next level, just as martial arts are invincible in high places, and they can't break through, so there is one of the 'high places are not cold'." The nephew makes random evaluations, and the aunt must not be blamed. ”
Mrs. Nawan was shocked and said: "Childe is really high-minded, it is not a secret, I have been creating this dish for five years, and I have not been able to break through the taste of this dish, so I named it 'Invincible Cold'." ”
While they were talking, a small man outside the door said, "Madam, the last dish has been prepared, can you serve it now?"
Mrs. Wan said, "Bring it up!"
Na Xiaohuan pushed open the door, placed the dishes in his hand on the table, and gently retreated. Everyone fixed their eyes on it, the silver plate contained a boxy piece of meat, the color is red, very attractive, but the closer look is that it has already been cut into sixteen small pieces, yards together, several people each clamped a piece into the mouth, feel that the meat melts in the mouth, fresh and tender, and sandwiched with a medicinal fragrance and sweet fragrance, the end is extremely delicious, and in an instant this plate of rabbit meat was eaten clean.
Mrs. Wan said: "The name of this dish is Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine. ”
Lin Jianlan nodded and said: "Listening to the literal idea, it must be made of rabbit meat as the main ingredient, with herbs and osmanthus carefully stewed, which shows the ingenuity of my aunt!"
Mrs. Wan nodded and said, "Lin Gongzi is really smart, it's just a pity." ”
Lin Jianlan said inexplicably: "What is a pity?" But he felt that his eyes were very blurry, and when he looked back, Wan Jianhong, Lu Man, and Bai Zongping were already lying on the table, and suddenly felt that his body was slumped on the chair, and when he looked up, he vaguely saw Mrs. Wan's face showing regret, as if she was saying something, and suddenly her eyes were dark, but she couldn't hear it anymore.
I don't know how long it took for Lin Jianlan to wake up and turn around, and when he opened his eyes, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, and his heart suddenly became anxious, and he shouted: "Sister Man! Brother Bai?"
