Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 453: There Is a Past in a Restaurant (3)

"Eat!" The old man took out the porridge, and gave Wang Yong a portion, "Don't be disgusted, it's pretty good to have food these days, and no one has the right to be picky."

"It's true... I'm the one who's least qualified to be picky..." Wang Yong took the corn porridge, or corn porridge. Fortunately, it's not the kind that floats a few corn grains in a pot of water. Bones and radishes...not bad!

"However, the taste is just like this..." Wang Yong took a bite, and it was not unpalatable, which is very important.The fragrance of corn is well highlighted, and some oily flowers can be vaguely seen, which are boiled out of bones.As for the radishes... that's all...

"It seems that you are not satisfied with what you eat? Why, it used to be rich and luxurious food?" The old man sipped the porridge. He ate very slowly, mainly because he had no teeth, not even a tooth, so he could only eat slowly. Melt slowly, then swallow.

It is also because of this that the porridge is actually very pulpy. The problem is that Wang Yong has no qualifications to dislike it.

"Next, what do you plan to do?" The old man looked at Wang Yong, "Is there a place to stay in Zhencheng?!"

"...I said that I almost forgot a lot of things...Do you believe me, old man?" Wang Yong asked.

"I don't believe it, I absolutely don't believe it! Your expression and your tone reflect the word 'lying'... Young people, lying is also a skill. If you can't learn it, you'd better be honest." The old man replied casually.

After a pause, he continued to ask: "Speaking of which, I still don't know your name..."

"Wang Yong, from... Chang'an in the west! For the time being, that's it? You'd better not ask about other things. Anyway, let me tell you the truth. I have nowhere to stay. I don't even know now. What should I do next?" How to survive. I thought about dedicating things to officials to see if I can get some rewards..." Wang Yong simply confessed.

The other party was sick, looking like he was dying, and Wang Yong simply didn't hide it.At most, he just concealed the core issue, and he wasn't sure whether the other party would accept the term 'traversal'.

"There's nowhere to go, right?" When the old man heard that the other party's surname was Wang, he reacted slightly, but not too much, "Then, until you have a foothold or a place to go, I'll stay here now!"

"Is it okay?" Wang Yong was a little surprised. It is said that the two sides met for the first time, so they just took him in like this?

"I have no children, my wife remarried, and I live in the whole house alone. It is empty and uncomfortable. Besides, there is nothing valuable in the house. The most valuable thing is probably this house." The old man replied.

"Then... I'll help you with chores and work? The store also needs help, right?" Wang Yong didn't have an idea either. He just came here and really needed a place to stay.

"Hahaha..." Hearing what Wang Yong said, the old man laughed, "No need, no need...the store is closed, not open!"

"No business?" Wang Yong really didn't expect this to be the result.

"My body is no longer able to cook." The old man pointed to himself, "The food tastes either salty or bland. The skill of a first-hand chef has degraded to the level of a junior chef... ..."

Speaking of this, he rarely clenched his fists, and seemed to be very concerned about this.Perhaps, all the glory and dignity of this old man come from this skill.But when he is old, he can no longer cook, and his skills have been abandoned, so the glory and dignity have left him.

Thinking of this, Wang Yong felt that this old man was actually quite pitiful.

"You really don't have a man and a woman?" Wang Yong wondered, who in ancient times had three wives and four concubines, and a house full of children and grandchildren.

"Yes, there is an eldest daughter, whose mother's surname is Zhou, and her name is Zhou Cang. She was named Yuanfu. But now the whereabouts of the two mothers are unknown. I heard that someone saw Zhou Cang among the Yellow Turban Thieves, and took this If this incident was brought up, I would have to step down from the imperial chef... It is also because of His Majesty's nostalgia, otherwise, my head would not have been there a few years ago." The old man looked sad.

"Wait, wait, you said your eldest daughter is called Zhou Cang?" Wang Yong was almost choked to death. The background of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was Zhou Cang and Yuan Fu. I don't think it is that Zhou Cang. Bar?
But the problem is that Zhou Cang was originally a fictional character in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the most important thing is...why is it a woman? !

"Why, you know him?" The old man was a little excited.

"I know...but the Zhou Cang I know is a man..." Wang Yong replied.

"You young man, is it interesting to play tricks on me, an old man?" The old man was dissatisfied immediately, thinking that he knew his daughter's whereabouts, but who knew that he would be happy for nothing, and suddenly he felt quite tired.

"But why do you have the same surname as her...her mother, isn't it your daughter? Or are you marrying?" Wang Yong asked.

"You young man, why don't you understand this? Hey, could it be that you really forgot everything?" The old man looked at Wang Yong in disbelief. He thought he was lying before. something wrong.

"I, what should I know?" Wang Yong just felt dumbfounded.

"You probably don't know where, tell me about it..." The old man thought for a while before asking.

"I don't even know!" Wang Yong spread out his hands directly, and fought backwards, what can you do to me? !

"You baby..." The old man shook his head, "It seems that I really can't let you out, or God knows what kind of jokes will be made... How should I put it... It's like when my daughter was three years old, she didn't have anything. I know, I'm curious about everything..."

"Yeah, you just treat me like a giant baby." Wang Yong put on the attitude that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

"At my age, I was still waiting for someone to take care of me, but half of my body was buried in the ground, and I had to take care of a giant baby!" The old man was also amused, but it was obvious that he was not angry, "Anyway, your surname is Wang, Sounds kind! This old man will treat... as a godson!"

"Why not a godson?" Wang Yong was puzzled, and it was strange that he didn't feel disgusted by this.

"Because I swore that if my son was as virtuous as you, I would definitely slap him to death! But for the grandson, it should be fine!" The old man replied casually, as if it was a matter of course.

"Hehe..." Wang Yong didn't know how to complain.

"Answer your question first!" The old man thought for a while, "Although the husband and wife get married, according to folk conventions...if the first child is a daughter, it usually follows the maternal instinct...do you know now?"

"Then you don't plan to have a second child?" Wang Yong asked.

"The question is where can I get married? You kid...it seems that you really don't know anything..." The old man sighed, how could there be such ignorant people in this world.

"What should I know?" Wang Yong really couldn't figure it out, at least it was definitely impossible to figure it out at the time.

"There are so few women!" The old man struggled for a long time, and finally sighed, "When I was young, I was young and vigorous, and I refused to marry a girl from a good family. What happened, I was about to retire at the age of 40, and I didn't get married. In the end, the court punished me. Didn’t Ban Chuman come back? Seeing how pitiful I am, the barbarian girl who shared my spoils gave me a child, and then she went back as agreed.”
