Lie down and eat melon in the protagonist group

Chapter 29 Chapter 4: Gourmet
As night falls, the lights are bright, and candles are lit in the rooms of the Ling family.

But when he heard the sound of a beep, the flames stirred up the green smoke and lingered in the beam, Pei Zhanqing opened his eyes tremblingly, and as far as he could see, the roof ridges were dark and dark.

"woke up."

Following the soft voice of a woman, several unfamiliar faces appeared in front of Pei Zhanqing's eyes one by one. The boys and girls had childish features, but they were all drawn into the painting.

Pei Zhanqing's eyes flashed with despair, and she moved her lips, "I am finally dead. If I don't come here, God is unfair. I will go to the Palace of Hell to seek justice."

Ling Cen smiled brightly when he heard this, "You are still alive. I saved you for free."

Ling Jing pushed Ling Cen's head away angrily and helped Pei Zhan Qing sit on the bedside. Mrs. Chuuai brought her medicinal food and Ling Jing fed her with a spoon.

"Still alive..." Pei Zhanqing took a mouthful of food obediently, and it melted in your mouth. It was refreshing and warm all the way down your stomach.

Tears filled her eyes immediately, and then countless complex images flashed through her mind. During this period, there were entanglements, confusion of right and wrong, whipping with sticks and sticks day and night, hunger and cold... All kinds of chaos made her dizzy and gave her a splitting headache, but she was used to it and just frowned.

The memory is confused, like a dream, like a pillow of yellow rice.

Pei Zhanqing couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, she murmured: "I know, this is another dream, a good dream is rare."

Ling Jing put down the spoon, wiped her tears gently, and said, "I shouldn't say this, but I still want to say that you are not dreaming now. Although I hope that everything you have experienced will be a big dream in vain, the enemy is still there, and you are enjoying yourself so far. , only waiting for you to take the blood feud yourself."

Pei Zhanqing couldn't stop crying, and with a smile on her face, she said softly: "I beg you, girl, to give me a helping hand and give me a stick to help me wake up from my dream and defeat the enemy."

Seeing that she was sane but obsessed with her thoughts due to many persecutions, making it difficult to distinguish between dreams and reality, Ling Jing let out a helpless sigh.

Ling Dang stepped forward, showed her bellyband, and directly administered a strong dose of medicine to her, "Do you still recognize this?"

Pei Zhanqing's face went blank as if struck by lightning. She instinctively reached out to fish it out, and her body trembled when she touched it.

She suddenly snatched it with her hands, held it tightly in her hand, shouted "my son" one sentence after another, and cried with her heart and face covered.

"Where is he?!" Pei Zhanqing grabbed Ling Dang, shook her shoulders, and asked her with tears in her eyes, "Where is he?! Where is his body?! Tell me!"

Ling Huai and Ling Cen guarded Ling Dang, and they worked together to open Pei Zhanqing's as dry as a skeleton's fingers. Ling Jing hurriedly stood up and stood in front of Ling Dang, half-supporting and half-hugging Pei Zhanqing's body to prevent her from jumping forward.

Lingdang felt that his brains were about to be shaken to pieces by her.

Pei Zhanqing bared his teeth and claws at her, his eyes almost split, "Where is he?!"

Lingdang turned around and walked out.

Pei Zhanqing went crazy, "Stop! Don't go! Tell me where he is?!"

Ling Dang opened the curtain, and Mrs. Zhang Dong pushed Ling An in. Ling An was really frightened and is still scared. As soon as he entered the curtain, he immediately got behind Ling Dang and hid.

"Don't be afraid." Ling Dang rubbed Ling An's head and pushed him in front of him, "Just do as we taught you just now."

"Yes." Ling An nodded timidly, his back pressed tightly against her legs, and he secretly glanced at Pei Zhanqing, wanting to see but not daring to look.

Ling Dang looked at Pei Zhanqing and said, "He is far away in the horizon but right in front of you. Xiao Qi, lift up your collar and let her see."

"Yes." Ling An obediently opened his collar, revealing the eye-catching cinnabar mole birthmark between his collarbones.

Pei Zhanqing suddenly shut up, his eyes popped out, and he stared without blinking.

She almost opened her mouth but stopped. Her tears had dried up and her eyes were red and bloodshot. She stretched out her hand forward, but there was a distance that she couldn't touch. Her body was shaking, her teeth were chattering, and she unconsciously wanted to get closer.

Ling Jing hugged her and stopped her from coming forward.

"My child, that's my child..." Pei Zhanqing was like a child learning to talk, explaining to Ling Jing back and forth.

Ling Jing comforted him softly: "I know, calm down first, you scared him."

Ling Dang nudged Ling An.

Ling An held the corners of his clothes with his fingers, stuttered and said, "Mother, mother."

Pei Zhanqing seemed to have been affixed with a talisman, staring blankly.

"You, you need to take good care of yourself."

"Yes, you have to eat well."

"Sleep well and be obedient."

"Don't lose your temper or act petty. When you get better, we can play together."

Each childish and sincere words that flowed more fluently reached her ears and heart. Pei Zhanqing quietly shed a tear, her brows filled with spring light, and she responded: "Okay, I'll follow you, mother."

A spring rain, spring thunder begins to roar, startling all things.

Green buds sprouted from the dead trees in the courtyard, and a swing frame was set up under the tree. Ling An was holding the swing rope on the frame, and his laughter echoed.

"Haha, it's so fun! Sixth brother, please be taller!" Ling An still felt that he was not satisfied. The general on one side stuck out his long tongue and ran back and forth around the swing frame, chasing his floating figure.

When Ling Cen heard this, he immediately pushed hard and fanned the flames, "Is it fun? Is it exciting? Haha, please go higher!"

"Two little ancestors, you can't go any higher!" Mrs. Zhang Dong lost her shoe uppers and ran over to protect her with open arms.

Pei Zhanqing sat in front of the window and stared at the scenery, often sitting for the whole day.

Ling Jing came in through the curtain and said with a smile: "The weather is nice today, why don't you go out and bask in the sun?" Pei Zhanqing shook his head, stood up and gave way to his seat, and said awkwardly: "You raised him very well, really. Okay. Such a great kindness and virtue, I, Mr. Zhan, will never forget it."

Ling Jing held her hand and stopped her from kneeling, "Xiaoqi is not only your child, but also our younger brother. You and I don't need to be biologically separated. We are all family members. Don't be polite."

"Does your head still hurt badly?" The two of them sat down holding hands. Ling Jing took the decoction brought by Mrs. Chuuai, blew on the hot air, and when it was slightly warm, she handed it to Pei Zhanqing's mouth.

"It's much better." Pei Zhanqing quickly reached out to hold the bowl, "I'll do it myself."

Ling Jing didn't refuse, and the bowl slipped into Pei Zhanqing's hands. She watched her holding the bowl in both hands and drank it all in one gulp. Ling Jing's eyes flashed slightly when she saw this, hiding her sourness, she tried her best to ask her calmly: "Can you tell me about the past?"

Pei Zhanqing couldn't sit still and put the medicine bowl back.

Ling Jing put a hand on the back of her hand and said sincerely: "Don't think it will bring us any trouble or be a drag. Our Ling family also has a feud with Zhang Gaoxuan, the owner of Fusong Restaurant. To tell you the truth, the Ling family was ransacked not long ago. , it was written by Zhang Gaoxuan. Now I am lucky enough to move here, and I am really destined to you. Not to mention, right now you and I share the same hatred. Even if you don't say it today, it doesn't mean that we will be able to sit back and relax tomorrow. "

"Zhang Gaoxuan deserves it, and he must bear all the blame for his death. You and I should be honest and honest, know ourselves and our enemies, not only for you, but also for me. Don't worry too much."

Pei Zhanqing hesitated for a long time and opened his mouth slightly, but before he could say anything, tears started to flow. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and sobbed.

After Qianfan has gone through everything, starting from scratch is no less than ruthlessly uncovering scabbed scars. Not to mention the amount of pain, just the grievances accumulated in the heart can drown people alive.

Ling Jing stroked her back and comforted her softly: "It's okay, don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly. I'll listen to both right and wrong."

Even if a disaster strikes, I will take care of it for you in the future.

When a pot of tea is simmered over slow fire, it gradually becomes less and thicker. It usually tastes bitter and astringent when it enters the throat, but it actually feels sweet and sweet when it enters the throat.

Pei Zhanqing, who was exhausted from the service, lay down and closed her eyes. Ling Jing tucked the quilt for her, raised the curtain and went straight to the study.

Pushing the door open and going in, except for Ling An, the other three people had been waiting in the room for a long time.

Ling Huai smiled helplessly, "I can't do anything to them."

Ling Jing glanced at Ling Dang. She was sitting obediently next to Ling Huai. She was polishing a bamboo fan in her hand. She was obviously using chicken feathers as arrows to intimidate Ling Huai.

Damn it, "I can't do anything about them". It's obvious that my ears are too soft, but I can't do anything about A Dang.

What kind of bad-tempered and wicked person is the King of Huainan? She is the empress of a country and she still doesn’t know?
Ling Cen jumped off the bed and said: "This is a family matter, and it concerns Xiao Qi. How can we be left alone? As the saying goes, when everyone adds fuel, the flames will rise. We work together to make plans. Are we afraid that we can't defeat a despicable villain?"

Ling Jing sat down with a sullen face, and Ling Cen leaned over to show off his smile, serving tea and water, slapping his back and pinching his shoulders. She opened his forehead angrily, "It's as eye-catching as you can get, and the edges are cool."

"Okay!" Ling Cen moved the chairs and sat down around the table.

Ling Jing said: "The previous owner of Fusong Restaurant was the imperial chef of the former Jin Dynasty. He resigned and returned to his hometown due to the turmoil in the palace, so he took his family and brought them back to his hometown of Yuzhou. In order to support his family, the old owner used his unique skills to open a restaurant. We opened a small restaurant. Because of his excellent craftsmanship and his kind people, there was a constant flow of customers, and the business naturally prospered. The old owner then added bricks and tiles to expand the restaurant into today's Fusong Restaurant."

Ling Jing held a cup of tea and sipped her tea, then continued: "Before he resigned, his old boss had two apprentices. One was his only son, Master Fu, and the other was the lonely Zhang Gaoxuan."

Ling Cen interjected: "Zhang Gaoxuan is an orphan?"

Ling Jing raised her eyebrows and said sinisterly: "I was almost an orphan who was purged by a trafficker and sent to the palace as a chamberlain. Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to escape. He even hit Mrs. Fu's carriage on the street. .”

Ling Dang raised his eyebrows and said, "Mrs. Fu took him in?"

Seeing Ling Jing nod, Ling Cen was so angry that he slapped the table on the spot and cursed: "You are so ungrateful and ungrateful, you are simply not human! You bastard!"

Ling Jing glanced at Ling Cen, then said nothing, "The Fu family has few heirs, so Mrs. Fu kindly left Zhang Gaoxuan as playmates with her only son, Master Fu. The two of them have never distinguished between master and servant. They lived together, ate together, and were inseparable. The Fu family treated him and Master Fu equally, and never favored one over the other. In the Fu family, he was better off than a biological child. When his old employer saw that he had talent, he cherished his talent and did not keep it to himself, so he passed it on to him along with Master Fu. He has his own unique craftsmanship, and teaches him knife skills step by step, and teaches him how to read recipes word for word."

"It is said that a famous teacher gives birth to a great disciple, and the two apprentices who have been painstakingly cultivated each have their own merits. If we really want to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, I can only say that Zhang Gaoxuan is good at creating novel carving plates, focusing on the color, flavor, and color of the dishes. I might as well call it sensationalism. . But Mr. Fu is very up-to-date, inheriting Fu family cuisine in a traditional way, and carefully studying the taste of the food in the mouth."

Seeing that most of the cup of tea was eaten, Ling Dang hurriedly poured tea for Ling Jing. Ling Jing smiled softly at her, took a sip and continued.

"My old boss is a down-to-earth and capable man. He doesn't agree with Zhang Gaoxuan's use of plate decorations to attract customers, because it takes time and effort to decorate the dishes and will lose the best taste of the delicious food after it is cooked. After all, food is for eating. , you don’t need to take it for granted, Zhang Gaoxuan sacrificed his talents and tried hard to dissuade him, but failed, which made Zhang Gaoxuan, who was arrogant about his skills, dissatisfied. The master and apprentice often quarreled over this matter, and they broke up every time. Zhang Gaoxuan had The good thing is that he knows current affairs and knows how to speak. He is always willing to bow his head and admit his mistakes to his old club later. "

Ling Jing suddenly put down her cup and sneered, "It's quick to admit your mistakes, but you won't change your mind. The old Dong's family is old-hearted and they have seen Zhang Gaoxuan thoroughly. Even if they wear out their words, they can't stop the stubborn donkey. It's time for my hot heart to cool down, so I have to let him go his own way, follow his wishes, leave the country, and open a restaurant on his own."

"In the beginning, Zhang Gaoxuan's newly opened restaurant was branded as a proud disciple of his old club, and the business was booming for a while, but the superficial presentation could not withstand the scrutiny of time and moon. Those people had long been abandoned by Fu Song How could a rich gourmand with an unscrupulous appetite in a restaurant be willing to go to his place and suffer the consequences, letting him mix up the delicacies with others and waste his precious bag of rice and naan bread, which he specially picked and ate? So, not long after, he There are very few people in front of the restaurant."

"You deserve it!" Ling Cen slapped his palm and felt happy, then frowned and asked, "So he went back to his old club to help him begging for mercy?"

Ling Jing sighed, "The rules of the palace are strict. My old boss has been working in the royal kitchen all year round. Although he has accumulated cooking skills, he has also accumulated a lot of stubborn illnesses. He is getting older and has heart problems, so he cannot bear the joys and sorrows. Previously. Zhang Gaoxuan insisted on starting his own business. On the eve of his departure, he had a big quarrel with his old employer who tried so hard to persuade him. It is said that once he is a teacher, he is always a father. His old employer treats him like his own son. How can he love his son with all his heart? He could withstand his stubborn words and stern words. Therefore, as soon as he left, his old club fell on the bed in anger and couldn't get sick.

"Zhang Gaoxuan finally realized his mistake after hitting the wall and went back to apologize. However, his old boss now has the kindness to help Zhang Gaoxuan, but he is still suffering from illness and cannot help. What's more, Fusong Restaurant has been handed over to Mr. Fu to run it. "

Ling Huai tapped his knuckles on the table and asked her, "Did your old club die a good death?"

Ling Jing's eyebrows suddenly turned cold, and she uttered two words coldly: "No."

As soon as these words came out, there was dead silence in the room.

Ling Jing closed her eyes for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back her temper. She waved her hand and knocked down the tea cup. She said harshly: "My old boss got sick, and his wife and daughter-in-law waited for him day and night. Young Master Fu was kind enough to take him in. Zhang Gaoxuan wanted to take him in." He wanted to learn from each other's strengths and make up for his weaknesses, and even wanted the brothers to work together to run the restaurant and take it to the next level. However, he was ambitious and had a high self-esteem. He thought that Master Fu had the exclusive recipe and knife skills, but in fact he was far inferior to him. Fusong Restaurant should be Zhang Gaoxuan He had something in his bag, but he suspected that Young Master Fu had taken advantage of him! From then on, he held a grudge! With the help of Pei Zhanqing, he secretly poisoned the three members of the Fu family, just to seize the Fu family's property! It's really a good idea to wipe out the whole family. Humanity’s white-eyed wolf!”

Ling Cen hurriedly took out a new cup. Ling Dang's eyes were quick and her hands were quick to add hot tea. Ling Cen stepped forward, fanned her and hit her back, and said in a sweet voice to comfort her: "Good sister, have a sip of tea to calm down." .”

Ling Huai frowned and said, "Pei Zhanqing must have been pregnant at the time. In order to ensure the safe birth of the fetus in her belly, she came to Jichangqu Town, Ganzhou City to secretly raise the fetus and give birth to her baby?"

Ling Jing breathed heavily and said coldly: "The child who was thrown away first."

Hearing this, Ling Huai raised his eyebrows and said clearly: "I took advantage of the chaos. It's a good move to hit the east and the west."
