"You two, please come in with me!"
Merlin led the two kitchen chefs in, each carrying two three-tiered large food boxes.
Shen Cha had a fight with Jin Guoxisuo named Abai before, and spent a long time thinking about the past events of his elders. He was really hungry. Even if he had some snacks in between, he was still very hungry. If she doesn't eat anymore, she might faint. Gathering the peeled melon seed kernels into a plate and putting the melon seed peels on a piece of paper, Shen Cha asked Mei Lin to take them out and throw them away.
The assistant cook opened the lids of the four food boxes, took out six plates of steamed fish, and placed them in front of everyone one by one. In addition to steamed fish, everyone also has a plate of barbecue, a large bowl of stew, a plate of refreshing cold dishes, as well as steamed rice cakes and a bowl of soup noodles that are eaten on the first day of junior high school. The biggest surprise is that the master chef of the dining room also Shen Cha’s favorite dumplings were specially prepared. However, this dumpling looks very small, half the size of a normal dumpling.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Shen Cha thanked the two cooks and took two small purses and put them in their hands. The two assistant cooks saluted several people, took the food boxes and stepped aside. Shen Cha looked at Mei Lin again and said, "It's getting late, you'd better go eat, don't freeze outside anymore. We have to chat for a while, and I don't know when it will be. You go to bed after eating. You and Xiaozhu went back to catch up on your sleep. The shadows are all here anyway. If I have anything to do, I will let them do it. "
"Okay, General, I understand." Merlin nodded and led the two cooks out.
"Xiao Lin!" Shen Cha stopped Mei Lin, "I almost forgot, where did Hong Ye go? Didn't she eat?"
"Sister Miao Miao just sent someone to find her and asked her to go to Yunxianju for dinner." Mei Lin nodded slightly towards Shen Cha, "Then, I have resigned."
Shen Cha nodded, stood up, followed Mei Lin to the door of Nuan Pavilion, whispered a few instructions to her, and then closed the door gently.
"I actually went to Yunxianju." We went together, but these two didn’t have a good taste. They actually disliked the mutton and refused to eat it again after one bite. I devoured both of their portions.”
"I think their mutton is very strange." Jin Jing refilled her tea cup, "How can I put it, it doesn't taste like the sheep here." He looked at Uncle Yan, "Have you ever tasted it? Is it done?"
"I've been there before, and I don't like it very much." Uncle Yan nodded, "It's probably not the same kind of sheep as we often eat. The smell is not bad, but I don't like the taste. Besides, they put too much in their food. The seasonings completely cover up the original taste of the ingredients.”
The four people here were discussing Yunxianju enthusiastically, while Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were whispering.
"What are you talking to Merlin?" When Shen Cha came to sit next to him, Shen Haolin asked in a low voice, "Has the person you arranged followed?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Do it. Well, it remains to be verified whether the relationship between Hongye and this Abai is as they say. Before we find definite evidence, it is better for us to be more cautious."
"Yes, I think so too." Shen Cha sighed, "Compared to Hongye, I am still very lucky."
"I am also very lucky to meet you and Xiaojiu." Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha on the head, "Would you feel uncomfortable if someone follows your sister? After all, Hongye is with us We have been together for a long time, and our feelings for each other are very deep.”
"Brother, feelings and responsibility are two different things. If you were involved in a case like this, I would be merciless."
"Oh? Really?" Shen Haolin touched Shen Cha's ear, "Why do you feel sad? Can't you let me go a little bit?"
"Brother!" Shen Cha looked at the people over there who had finished talking about mutton, and patted Shen Haolin on the shoulder, "It's time to take us to serve tea to Master and Uncle Yan!"
Shen Haolin nodded, held the tea cup, led Shen Cha, Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing to Qin Zheng and Yan Bo, and said New Year's blessings to them. Seeing the two elders drinking tea with smiles, they started again Go back to your seat and sit down.
"Let's eat!" Qin Zheng and Yan Bo picked up their chopsticks at the same time, one took a chopstick of fish, the other took a chopstick of barbecue, and placed them in each other's bowls. The two people looked at each other and smiled, picked up the tea cups and touched them gently.
Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing were sitting opposite them. Seeing such a tacit understanding between the two people, and seeing their smiles afterwards, they couldn't help but shudder. The feelings of the elderly are really difficult to understand.
"Eat this for you." Shen Haolin motioned to Shen Cha to open her mouth and fed a very small dumpling into her mouth, "Is it delicious?"
"Well, it's delicious!" Shen Cha nodded and took a chopstick of fish to Shen Haolin, "I think the fish last night was not as delicious as today's fish. Today's fish is more tender and the taste is a little lighter. "
"Hey, hey, can you two calm down a little bit? We're still here!" Xue Ruitian bit his chopsticks, hummed twice, and said, "I figured out something after just stroking it like this today. I I remember that there was a time when my mother was in a very bad condition. She always liked to stay alone for the whole day, doing nothing, and her eyes were completely dull. Now that I think about it, she was that scumbag at that time. It's time to get entangled. But what did he ask his mother to do for him? Reveal the secrets of the Shen family army? Or want to get the defense of Jiaping Pass? This is not something that a lady from the Hou Mansion can contact, is it? Unless My mother, like Xiaocha, is able to serve in the military, otherwise she would never have the opportunity to come into contact with these things."
"He doesn't need these, but wants the detailed information of every general in the army. These are all things she can collect, and she can do it easily without alerting anyone. But your mother refused, More than once." Uncle Yan looked at the steamed rice cake, scooped out a small piece with a spoon and put it in his mouth, "It doesn't taste good. Did you forget to add sugar?"
"Here!" Qin Zheng handed Uncle Yan a small dish of powdered sugar. "After your mother rejected that person, that person's mask was completely torn off and he became extremely crazy. Old Xue said that as long as he enters the city, , will definitely come to visit at home. Although he is under the banner of Mrs. Sister-in-law's cousin, everyone knows who he is. Although I have never seen this person, I have also heard Lao Xue, Lao Shen and Xiao Feng talk about it. . To be honest, my first reaction when I see him always coming to my door is that this person is really...shameless!"
"My wife rejected him too many times, so he began to threaten her, threatening to make their relationship public if she refused to agree to his request." Uncle Yan finished his portion of the steamed fish and went to grab Qin Zheng's , said, "It's not just a verbal threat, but also an action one. However, Madam-in-law did not explain this, and we have not seen any traces related to this. But even a verbal threat is She caused very serious consequences and caused a lot of stress."
"At this time, my father also noticed this, so he started to feel depressed and confused, and he was in a daze, right?" Seeing Qin Zheng and Yan Bo nodding, Xue Ruitian touched his chin, "It's just that he How do you know about the ancient city and the Desert Flower? According to Xiaocha, the Master should have only told her about the Desert Flower. She would definitely not tell my father. Where did my father hear that the Master knew this? "
After hearing Xue Ruitian's words, Yan Bo and Qin Zheng glanced at each other. Both of their expressions were a little subtle, as if they were a little embarrassed.
"Is there any question?" Xue Ruitian looked at this and then that, "If...if it's not easy to say it, then don't say it, just pretend I didn't ask!"
"It's not that it's hard to say, but I'm a little embarrassed." Uncle Yan cleared his throat and said, "We overheard the chat between Master and Xiaocha."
