The cooking color is delicious, general, don't bite me

Chapter 91
Meng Fuling was so nervous that she was breaking out in a cold sweat, her heart was beating very fast, and she kept saying in her heart that Lao Wang should not come, don't come...

But God didn't hear her prayer, Lao Wang still walked in the direction where they were.

Meng Fuling's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and she sighed secretly, so she had to take her hand away from the mouth of the gourd and cover her face instead.

Gourd's eyes darkened a bit, and he poked his feet on the ground, stepped on a stone, and kicked the stone in the direction of Old Wang.

Immediately, with a bang, the stone precisely hit Lao Wang's sleeping point.

Meng Fuling only saw a swift shadow coming out of the gourd's feet, knocked Lao Wang down, and said in surprise, "You didn't kill him, did you?"

"Don't worry, he just fell asleep." Calabash said, looking at his crotch again.

He stared at Meng Fuling with burning eyes, "It's still uncomfortable."

"Why do you still have the mood to think about such things?" Meng Fuling sighed.

"Okay, okay, let's go home." Meng Fuling felt that his needs had been met, and it was time to go back.

But he just lay there and refused to move, so she pushed him again, "We've been out long enough, if we don't go back, Little Winter Melon is going to cry."

Hulu still didn't speak, but pointed to his thigh.

"What's the matter?" Meng Fuling didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, so she followed his hand and saw a large spot of blood on his thigh.

Well?Meng Fuling was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. In ancient times, women put plant ash into small cloth strips and tied the two ends of thin threads around their waists. She felt that it was unhygienic, so she imitated modern sanitary napkins and made them herself.

"Let me see, will it hurt?" In fact, Hulu was very nervous when he saw so much blood. After all, he couldn't understand why women bleed every month.

"What are you looking at? There's nothing to see." Meng Fuling wanted to dig a hole and bury herself right now, so how could he let him see it?
But the more she refused to let him see, the more worried he became. He reached out and pulled her skirt.

"You're out of your mind? Don't talk!" Is there any man like him?Women also have to look at that.

So, the two began to argue, and Meng Fuling was very angry, but his strength was not as strong as that of Hulu.

Finally, Meng Fuling had an idea, pointed to the other side of the lotus field, and exclaimed, "Gourd, what is that?"

This method is very old-fashioned, but it is also practical. Before Calabash could distinguish the real from the fake, he looked in the direction she pointed.

Meng Fuling took the opportunity to push him away. Coincidentally, Outian was behind him.

As a result, the gourd was caught off guard and rolled towards the lotus field. When he was about to fall into the lotus field, he reached out and grabbed Meng Fuling's hand.

"Ah—" Meng Fuling didn't expect that the gourd would drag her, and the two of them rolled into the lotus field together.

Meng Fuling really wanted to cry now, but she really answered Little Chicken Wing's sentence.

Before she could say anything, Calabash said, "You pushed me!"

Meng Fuling was annoyed, did he imply that it was her fault?

"Get up!" Calabash ignored Meng Fuling's angry face and pulled her out of the lotus root field.

Both of them turned into clay figurines, looking very embarrassed and ridiculous. Meng Fuling was about to say something, but saw that several lotus roots were crushed by them, and she felt distressed.

Gourd pursed his lips, not daring to say anything more, so he picked her up and flew away from the lotus root field, toward the river.

Meng Fuling knew that Hulu was going to take her to the river to clean up the muddy water on her body, so she didn't want to go home with a whole body of muddy water, so naturally she had no objection.

"One person on one side, each washes separately, you are not allowed to peek!" Meng Fuling was afraid that the gourd would be impulsive again, so she strictly ordered him not to peek.

Hulu nodded very 'honestly', "Good!"

Meng Fuling didn't believe him. She was relieved when he turned around, took off the dirty clothes, and washed them on his own.

After cleaning her body, she squatted down to the shore to wash clothes.

In the process of washing clothes, she felt uncomfortable down there, and it seemed to be bleeding again. Just now she saw that the sanitary napkin was not only stained with blood, but also got some muddy water, so she threw it away. What should I do now?
After thinking about it, she was going to put on her wet clothes and hurry home, but it was dark anyway and no one saw her.

When she was about to put on her clothes, a gourd's voice sounded behind her, "It should be bandaged."

"Ah! Why did you come here?" There was no sound, it was terrifying!
Meng Fuling didn't know if he saw the situation below her, but felt ashamed and embarrassed, and hurriedly clamped her legs and covered her chest with both hands.

Hulu didn't answer, but tore off a piece of cloth from his cleaned clothes, squatted behind her, took her hand away, put the piece of cloth under her, and bandaged her very gently .

Meng Fuling froze all over and didn't dare to move, her face was as red as boiled shrimp.

Looking back, she was really annoyed at him for wanting to watch it all the time, but it was because he didn't understand, so she was worried about her.

Maybe he was nervous too, she could feel his hands trembling and cautious.

After a while, he said: "Okay, let's do this for now, wait for me to dry the clothes before putting them on."

After speaking, he picked up her clothes and dried them one by one with his internal force.

Meng Fuling looked at him seriously, her eyes felt a little hot, and a warm current surged in her heart.

Gourd turned his head and saw Meng Fuling was looking at him all the time, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, shining in the moonlight for an instant.

Meng Fuling couldn't help staring at it, until he handed the clothes in front of her, "Put it on."

******
When they went back, both of them were silent. When they got home, Hulu probably didn't stay in her room because he was concerned about her inconvenience.

The next day, as soon as Meng Fuling woke up, Pharaoh knocked on the door anxiously, wanting to see her.

Meng Fuling was very guilty, and tried her best to smile, "Old Wang, what's the matter with you in such a hurry?"

"Miss, the servant is not effective in guarding the lotus field, please punish me." Old Wang had a pale face, and when he saw Meng Fuling, he immediately knelt down.

Meng Fuling knew what was going on, she didn't dare to accept Lao Wang's kneeling, and hurriedly helped him up, "Get up quickly, talk slowly if you have something to say."

"Miss, thieves broke into the lotus root field last night. They knocked out the servant and damaged a few lotus roots." The gourd was too strong last night, and Lao Wang just woke up. Seeing that the lotus root was crushed, he really It was horrible.

When Mrs. Xue heard about the thief, she was shocked, "The thief? They also crushed the lotus root. What should I do? Do you want to report to the police?"

Meng Fuling almost choked on her saliva, "Ahem, it's okay, you go back first, and I'll think of a countermeasure later."

"But Miss, are you really alright? To be able to enter through such a high fence and knock out the servant without making a sound, he must not be an ordinary thief." Old Wang said anxiously.

Meng Fuling knew that Lao Wang was actually afraid that the thief would be too powerful, so he broke in again.What should she say?You can't say that the thief is her and the gourd, right?

Hulu was much calmer than Meng Fuling, he raised his eyelids slightly, and said calmly, "I'll call some people to catch the thief later."

Old Wang got the words of Gourd, so he left in peace, but Meng Fuling was worried, and asked Gourd in a low voice, "How do you catch a thief?"

Hulu glanced at her without explaining.

Meng Fuling actually felt that this look from him was slightly contemptuous, so she curled her lips and said, "If you don't say it, then you don't say it!"

Gourd pretended to catch the thief for a few days, and when there was no progress, everyone thought that the thief would never come again, so Lao Wang just took care of the lotus field with peace of mind, and the matter was considered over.

Han Hualin also came to the door that day, and apologized to Xue for the matter of Wuhui.

But how could he be blamed?Wu Hui acted behind his back. He was notified by the villagers, but he did not come to take Wu Hui away himself.

It was not until they received Meng Fuling's letter that Wuhui was sent away from Qishan County, and Wuhui was strictly prohibited from entering Qishan County.

Even if Han Hualin didn't say anything, Meng Fuling knew what he must have done to Wu Hui, but she wouldn't ask more.

******
Time passed quickly, and the lotus root was growing very well. Meng Fuling decided that it would be possible to start digging the lotus root around the beginning of autumn, which is still more than a month away.

Today, while everyone was having lunch, Meng Fuling announced her decision, "I plan to open a restaurant!"

Except for the gourd that they had known for a long time, everyone was shocked, and it was Xiaoji Wing who reacted first, "Sister, you want to open a restaurant? Really?"

"It's true, the restaurant will only be selling lotus root vegetables." Meng Fuling nodded.

Some time ago, with the help of Han Hualin, she sold a storefront, and she has already started preparations.Because of Xue's character problem, he didn't discuss with Xue in advance.

"Fu Ling, you and Hua Lin have a good friendship. If you also open a restaurant, will it affect his business?" Xue asked.

Meng Fuling knew that Xue was afraid that she would turn against Han Hualin because of this, so she smiled, "No, the restaurant is a bit far away from the food, and the main cuisines are different, so it won't affect it."

She had already told Han Hualin about this point, he was very generous, so naturally he didn't care about it.

Besides, Qishan County is very big, and there are many restaurants. Shiweitian has already laid a good foundation because of the new dishes provided by Meng Fuling. Even if Meng Fuling opens a restaurant, it will not affect it.

Also, Meng Fuling also realized that food is not Han Hualin's main business.

Little Chicken Wing tilted his head and said, "Sister, do you only sell lotus root vegetables?"

Xue also continued: "That's right, it's impossible to have Poria cocos and lotus root all year round, right? Besides, how many dishes can you make? Will it be too monotonous?"

Meng Fuling thought that Mrs. Xue's question was on time this time, so she answered patiently: "Of course it is impossible to have lotus root all year round. My plan is to push the lotus root out first after the restaurant opens, and wait for it to become famous. Add barbecue and hot pot."

She also considered that it would be too simple to make only lotus root vegetables, because she knew that this dynasty had cumin powder, so she asked Luo Yunhao to get more, and planned to add more barbecue and hot pot.

Because she needs to be able to obtain cumin powder for a long time, Luo Yunhao personally traveled to the foreign border.

A few days ago, he asked someone to send a letter, saying that something was delayed and he would not be able to return to Lingyun Village until next month.

Knowing what Meng Fuling decided to do, Xue knew that it was useless for her to have any objections, so she didn't ask too many questions.

On the other hand, Little Chicken Wings pestered Meng Fuling with questions, most of them asking what kind of roast meat was and whether it was delicious or not.

Meng Fuling has always liked small chicken wings, so she patiently answered them one by one.

******
Steward Lu signed the contract with Meng Fuling because he expected that Meng Fuling would not be able to grow lotus roots.

But seeing that the day of digging the lotus roots was not far away, he knew that he had underestimated Meng Fuling, and he was convinced of her, so he fulfilled his promise and let her scold him.

Meng Fuling knew that Steward Lu was a very capable person and loyal to Hulu, so she asked him to be the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

The decoration of the restaurant, recruitment and other matters were all handed over to Steward Lu. Facts have proved that Meng Fuling did not misunderstand the person.

Steward Lu has been managing the huge General's Mansion for many years, and he really has two skills. He not only handles the things Meng Fuling explained properly, but also improves the details that she didn't expect.

The layout of the restaurant is mainly grand, and the arrangement of tables and chairs, decorations, and names have all been finalized.

The name has been engraved on the plaque, covered with a piece of red silk, which will only be removed on the opening day.

These days, Meng Fuling traveled back and forth between the village and the city, so busy that she almost hit the back of her head, and had no time to take care of the little winter melon, so she had to hand over the little winter melon to Xue's care.

Hulu also followed her all day long, seeing how hard she was working, he stopped talking about doing that kind of thing.

Finally, the restaurant was ready a few days before the lotus root digging, and Steward Lu asked someone to calculate the auspicious opening time.

So, two days before the opening of the restaurant, Meng Fuling prepared to dig out the first batch of lotus roots.

******
On the day of digging the lotus root, Han Hualin came here specially to join in the fun, as well as the owners of several restaurants in the city. They heard the news from somewhere and rushed over.

They didn't know that Meng Fuling's restaurant that was about to open was a specialty of lotus root, so they wanted to buy some lotus root from Meng Fuling to add to their own restaurant.

Meng Fuling was afraid that there would be trouble if there were too many people, so she only let Han Hualin come in to watch, and blocked the other restaurant owners from the fence. They haven't asked about buying lotus root yet, so she didn't explain that much.

Meng Fuling deliberately pulled out a few workers from the workshop. At this moment, she was explaining to them the precautions for digging lotus roots, and she also took out the oilcloth jumpsuit she had ordered earlier.

That night when she and the gourd fell into the lotus root field, she thought of making jumpsuits out of oilcloth, and wearing the jumpsuits to dig the lotus root would prevent her from getting covered in muddy water.

"Fuling, do you want to drive them away?" Li Shanhu asked Meng Fuling, seeing the villagers watching the excitement around the fence, fearing that someone would take advantage of the chaos.

Meng Fuling looked over and saw the stretched necks of all the villagers, wishing to tear down the fence, and felt very disgusted.

But she didn't think it was necessary to drive everyone away. The more this happened, the more they would covet her. It's better to let them see it openly.

"No, we just need to pay more attention." Meng Fuling said.

Over there, the workers had all put on jumpsuits, and Lian Dahui ran over and asked, "Fu Ling, can we start digging?"

"It's time to start, everyone digs according to the method I taught." Meng Fuling said loudly.

"Okay!" The workers responded happily, because they all knew that lotus root was rare and that it was the only one in the Great Chu Kingdom, so they were all excited, full of energy, but cautious.

Even the gourd was eager to try after seeing it, "I want to go down and dig."

"No, you have rough hands and feet, be careful not to dig it." Meng Fuling tightened the gourd to prevent him from going down.

She never admits that because digging lotus roots is hard work, even with jumpsuits, it is difficult to withstand the chill of the water, and although he has martial arts, he rarely does farm work, and he may not be able to master it after he goes down.

After hearing her words, Hulu was unconvinced, "Nonsense! How can I be so rough?"

"I said that you are not a child, and you are digging lotus roots for fun?" Meng Fuling said angrily.

"I didn't play!" Hulu was a little annoyed, he just wanted to help, why did he think he was playing?

Meng Fuling found it difficult to communicate with Gourd, so she could only discuss in a negotiable tone: "Why don't you go back and take care of Little Winter Melon? He likes to play with you."

As soon as Hulu heard about Xiaodonggua, he stopped talking and insisted on digging up lotus roots. He secretly thought that Xiaodonggua likes to play with me, right?

Sometimes, Hulu really suspects that he is not in harmony with Xiaodonggua, and this little guy rewards him with a little boy's urine from time to time, which is considered light.

Sometimes Little Winter Melon even pulls on his papa, giggling non-stop after pulling it, so he can guarantee that Little Winter Melon is definitely playing tricks on him on purpose.

Meng Fuling smiled secretly, knowing that moving out the little wax gourd can cure the gourd. Now who doesn't know that the little winter melon is his nemesis?
While talking, the workers had already started digging the lotus root. After the water in the lotus root field was drained, the remaining mud was three feet deep.

They dug down along the dry lotus as Meng Fuling said, and a whole lotus root came out, with seven or eight knots in many and four or five knots in the few.

Lian Dahui deliberately rinsed a lotus root with water and showed it to Meng Fuling, "Fuling, take a look."

Meng Fuling received it and looked at it. The snow-white and translucent big white lotus root made people like it when they saw it, and she couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

Not only Meng Fuling, but even the people outside the fence went crazy with excitement, and they all shouted excitedly, "Lotus root, that's really lotus root!"

Everyone was staring at the lotus root in Meng Fuling's hand, and several people brought ladders and put them on the fence, trying to climb in.

It was Little Chicken Wing who noticed it, "Sister, look at that person!"

Meng Fuling looked over, but almost burst out laughing, one of the people who climbed the fence was Zhuo Dazui, and she was the one who climbed the highest.

"How dare Zhuo Dazui come out to meet people?" Li Shanhu asked in surprise.

"What's so strange? People like her are used to thickening their skin so that it can be used as a shield." Meng Fuling didn't think it was strange.

"Looking for death!" Gourd was in a bad mood, but those who climbed the fence bumped into the guns. He picked up a few stones from the ground, held them in his palm, and threw them all at those people with a flick of his wrist.

Someone yelled, "There are hidden weapons, dodge quickly."

It was too late, all the people on the fence fell to the ground, and there was a burst of howling and cursing.

Some even broke their hands and feet, but they dare not ask the gourd for an explanation. Firstly, they are afraid of the gourd, and secondly, they feel that they are ignorant.

Seeing that the lotus digging workers were not affected, Meng Fuling ignored them.

"Sister, it's not fun here, I'd better go back and accompany little brother Xiaodonggua." After all, Xiaojiwing is a child, and he has seen what the lotus root looks like, so he can't stay.

The house is very close to the lotus field, and the little chicken wings usually sneak out to play by themselves, but Meng Fuling didn't care, "Go, be careful yourself."

Little Chicken Wing responded and ran away, but she didn't go home, but went to find a few playful friends, and together they went to the mountain to dig out eggs.

******
Meng Fuling saw that the lotus roots dug up were enough for the first two days of the restaurant's opening, so she asked everyone to stop and dig them up when needed so that they would not be damaged due to endless use.

She was just about to order everyone to wash all the lotus roots, and then transport them to the restaurant.

The restaurant owners who were waiting outside shouted and offered to buy lotus root.

"I'm sorry, everyone. The production of this lotus root is only enough to supply my own restaurant." Meng Fuling believed that the owner of the restaurant who came must have inquired about her and knew that her restaurant was about to open.

But there were a few who didn't know what to do, such as the steward sent by Zhu Laifu. He was afraid that Meng Fuling would not buy him the lotus root, so he sent a face-to-face steward.

"How can you, a woman, know how to open a restaurant? It's better to buy lotus root for everyone, so as not to waste good things." He said, and pulled other owners into it.

These words were extremely blunt, but the others wanted to get a piece of the pie, so they all nodded in response to his words.

"Even if I spoil things, it's my business, so what's your business?" Meng Fuling sneered.

This person choked on Meng Fuling's words, yes!What does it matter to him if she spoils her own things?

The villagers of Lingyun Village didn't know about Meng Fuling's plan to open a restaurant at first, but after hearing her conversation with this person, they were all blown away.

sky!Opening a workshop is amazing, let alone a restaurant?All of a sudden, the villagers looked at Meng Fuling in disbelief.

The person who wished Laifu was afraid that he would not be able to buy lotus root, so he wanted to provoke Meng Fuling to sell lotus root.

The gourd left the lotus field at some point, came up behind him, knocked him unconscious with one palm, and threw him far away.

Have other restaurant owners ever seen such a fierce and direct style?They were too frightened to make a sound, knowing that the lotus root could not be bought, they left one after another.

"Your restaurant has offended many people before it even opened. Are you afraid that they will join forces to deal with you?" Han Hualin asked with a smile.

Meng Fuling didn't take it lightly and said, "If they were really so united, they would have united to push out food as soon as they got new dishes."

"They dare not!" Han Hualin said confidently.

Meng Fuling really believed that they dared not. Even if Han Hualin didn't say it, she knew that his identity was different from those people, not an ordinary businessman.

Hulu, who was silent for a long time, suddenly said: "If they dare to do anything to her, I will set fire to their restaurant."

"Then you go ahead and burn, it's best to burn down all the restaurants in Qishan County." Han Hualin joked.

Meng Fuling knew that if the gourd really burned down all the restaurants in Qishan County, the emperor would definitely find out that he was hiding in Lingyun Village before long, and would order him to return to Beijing.

Thinking that he might leave at any time, Meng Fuling suddenly became depressed.

Hulu seemed to sense what Meng Fuling was thinking, leaned close to her ear, and whispered: "I won't leave!"

Meng Fuling was startled, Hulu actually saw through her thoughts, but would he really not leave?She glanced at him, but said nothing, she knew that the little Lingyun Village couldn't trap him.

That's all!Don't think too much, even if there is that day.As long as he has her in his heart, it's not a problem.

After figuring it out, Meng Fuling's mood returned to normal, and she asked Lian Dahui and Lin Nan to stay and watch the workers clean up the lotus root, and called Li Shanhu to go back and prepare lunch together.

The workers have worked hard digging lotus roots, and they should provide a good meal.

As soon as a few people walked out of the lotus root field, they saw two or three children stumbling towards them from a distance.

"Aunt Fuling, Aunt Fuling, it's not good, it's not good..." These children are all children of factory workers, and they are usually more naughty than one another, and now they will all cry like cats.

Meng Fuling and the others looked at each other, but they didn't know what happened.

When the children approached, Meng Fuling pulled the oldest child and asked, "Xiangzi, what's going on? Did you fight with someone?"

"No, no, Aunt Fuling, the little chicken wing was caught by Pai Huazi." The child named Xiangzi was sobbing and choking.

"What? Where were you caught?" Meng Fuling felt bad when she heard about patting Huazi.

Recently, I heard that Pai Hanako, who specializes in abducting children, appeared and wandered around in various villages. If he saw a child who was alone, he took out a drugged handkerchief and threw it at the child, and the child followed in a daze. he goes.

Meng Fuling thought it was an alarmist talk, but she didn't expect it to be true, and was met by Xiaoji Wing.

"On the mountain, where there are bird eggs." Another child rushed to answer.

Meng Fuling knew where it was on the mountain just by hearing the bird eggs, and Xiaoji Wing usually liked to go there to dig out the eggs.

Meng Fuling didn't ask any more questions, and ran away. Gourd was not afraid of being seen, so he used lightness kung fu, clasped her waist, and flew up the mountain with her, and Han Hualin also chased after her.

"Hulu, hurry up!" Meng Fuling was afraid that if she was a step too late, the little chicken wing would be caught and never found again.

Under her urging, Hulu carried out his lightness kung fu to the extreme, and the three of them rushed to the mountain quickly.

But what they saw was different from what they had imagined. The so-called Paihuazi turned out to be a young man with tattered clothes and blood stains all over him.

He even held on to a tree so as not to fall down, holding on to the chicken wings with one hand, and the big and small were engaged in a tug-of-war.

"Let go, I won't go with you, I don't know you!" Little Chicken Wing cried anxiously, but unfortunately he couldn't shake off the opponent's hand no matter what.

"Little sister, I am your elder brother!" the man shouted anxiously.

"I don't have a big brother! Sister, save me, save me!" Little Chicken Wing cried, and when she turned her head, she happened to see Meng Fuling.

Meng Fuling saw that Xiaoji Wing was crying so hard, her heart ached and she shouted angrily, "Let her go!"

The gourd can't control that much, so he went up and slapped the man. The man was already injured, so he couldn't dodge the gourd's palm.

He was kicked out and hit another tree. After falling to the ground, he kept coughing up blood, "She, she is really my sister."

"Sister, I'm so scared, I don't know this person, don't go with him!" Little Chicken Wing was really frightened, hugged Meng Fuling's leg, and burst into tears after speaking.

"Little Chicken Wing is good, don't be afraid! With my sister here, no one can take you away." Meng Fuling patted Little Chicken Wing's back and coaxed softly.

Han Hualin walked up to the man, looked at it for a while, and said to Meng Fuling, "This man doesn't seem like a native of our Great Chu Kingdom."
