Qin Shen's Inn
Chapter 83 Fate, Wonderful
After Zhang Tenghai was injured, he decided to give himself an early vacation and no longer go to work, but the plan could not keep up with the changes, and he had to go to the company to take charge of some things, such as cooperating with Jiashang International Middle School to run a school.Jiashang International Middle School was founded by foreign Chinese. After entering Huaxia, it received unanimous praise. However, the schools they founded before were all elementary schools and kindergartens. It was their first time to set foot in high school. Even if they cooperated with the powerful Zhang family, they still remained cautious.
Foreigners don't celebrate the Spring Festival, so they pick some New Year's festivals to come over to find things to do for everyone who is about to have a holiday. After Zhang Tonghai is asked to come forward to deal with the matter, he returns to the inn with a small gift for Diu Diu and Qin Shen.Employees who continue to follow up on this matter will definitely have to sacrifice the Spring Festival holiday. Zhang Tonghai will reward him on the basis of three times the salary during the Spring Festival. As long as the work is done well, he has never been a stingy boss.
Getting off the boat and stepping on the waterfront platform of the inn, Zhang Tenghai casually picked a lotus pod from the lotus bushes standing gracefully beside him, and threw it on the boat.
Because Leo often came to the inn with Zhang Chenghai, Qin Shen also prepared a new year's goods for him, all kinds of sausages, bacon, sauced ducks, etc. made by the inn, as well as eggs laid by the raised chickens and ducks and fresh meat. On the way back to the inn, Leo told Zhang Tenghai casually that fresh lotus seeds are delicious, and Zhang Tenghai picked one for him before getting off the boat. He is really a caring and good boss.
"Leo, you can go on vacation now, I won't leave the inn until the annual vacation is over."
Leo saw a lotus pod flying out of the void, subconsciously caught it, and then heard the boss's words, he quickly said seriously: "Boss, my parents came to Dongzhou City to celebrate the Spring Festival with me. Pass it on."
"That's fine, you wait for the notice."
"...Okay, Boss." Leo still hoped that the boss would say "I don't need you", as expected, he insisted on what he meant.
Because he was not facing anyone directly, Leo showed a corner of the tangled expression on his face, which was clearly seen by Zhang Chenghai. He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, and said, "I have troubled you for the past two years, so take a good rest this Spring Festival." , I won’t look for you. I heard that you and your girlfriend are getting close, and I will give you a big red envelope when you get married.”
The calm and elite Leo showed an embarrassed expression, "Thank you boss for your concern. We should get married in the first half of next year. She and I want to settle in Dongzhou City in the future."
Zhang's job is very promising. Zhang Tenghai is a strict boss, but he is not harsh. With him, he can experience and learn a lot, and his pockets are constantly bulging. Leo has thought about it, Mr. Qin is in Dongzhou City, the boss will definitely not leave here, he simply settled his family here, and will continue to work with the boss for a long time.
After Leo left, Zhang Tonghai carried the gift box into the house, and saw Qin Shen coming out, wearing a simple sweater and jeans, with... hair stubble from a distance, as if he had shaved his head, calm as Zhang Tonghai endured I couldn't help but widen my eyes, "Why, why did you shave so short?"
In summer, my hair is flattened, and it is not as short as it is now.
Qin Shen has a good face shape, and he can control various hairstyles. This near-bald shape makes him look straight, sunny and handsome with toughness, which is a little different from the previous impression.
Qin Shen rubbed his head in embarrassment, "Isn't it pretty?"
Zhang Tenghai took two steps forward and stood in front of Qin Shen. He raised his right hand and moved his fingers along Qin Shen's temples. The soft and prickly touch made his fingertips feel numb and itchy. Passed to the brain, the brain seemed to be stabbed, and the trembling was sent to the soul.
"No, it looks good. My Qin Shen looks good with any hairstyle." Zhang Tenghai leaned his head forward, his lips resting on Qin Shen's cheek, and his deep and soft voice slowly sounded, "Where did you shave, I will get one too." supplementary."
"..." Moist breath blew on his face, itching, Qin Shen couldn't help turning his head sideways, and pinched Zhang Tenghai's waist, "No shaving, we were just an accident."
Zhang Tenghai laughed softly, "But I think it feels good." His hand was already covering the back of Qin Shen's head, and he moved it up and down in small increments.
Eyes as deep as a long river are full of tenderness, Zhang Tenghai's lips hovering in front of his cheeks slid to Qin Shen's lips, a distance of one finger...
The breath is entangled, and the kiss is close.
"Daddy." The child's brisk footsteps came from the room, accompanied by a soft cry.
Zhang Tenghai let go of his hand regretfully, turned his head to look at Diudiu, suddenly his head was held in both hands, soft lips touched his lips and they were about to leave.
Qin Shen let go of his hand and winked at him, turned around and opened his hand to welcome his baby.
Diudiu dashed out of the room, flung himself on his father with open arms, and complained with a crisp, sugary laugh, "Dad, you're blocking me from seeing Daddy."
Qin Shen hugged his son's head and rubbed it for a while. The child's hair was soft, and it felt really good in the hand, "I hate you, if you have a dad, you don't need a dad."
"Hehehe, all of them."
Zhang Tenghai raised his hand to touch his lips, beside his ears were the cheerful laughter of Qin Shen and Diudiu, and the corners of his mouth became more and more curved.
Qin Shen turned around with Diu Diu in his hands, holding Diu Diu's little face in his hands, the delicate face turned into a pleated steamed bun, his almond eyes were squeezed into a slit, and Diu Diu looked towards Zhang Tenghai He waved his hand and greeted his father with a strange voice, "Daddy, you are back, let's have lunch together later, uncle and aunt came, and brought fish that would be angry, Uncle Baocheng said that fish was very fresh , It’s delicious, slice the fish and serve it in the hot pot.”
Zhang Tenghai: "..."
Zhang Tenghai stretched out his hand in disbelief and touched Diudiu's head. His soft hair turned into soft, thorny stubble. The smile on his face collapsed, and his voice raised slightly: "Is this the latest fashion?!"
"Don't mention it, it wasn't like this." After playing with Diudiu for a while, Qin Shen let go of him, and talked to Zhang Tonghai about what happened in the barber shop, "I can't help it, so I shaved my current hairstyle, but Hair grows fast and will be able to get rid of the 'kiwi' in no time."
Diudiu, who was leaning on Zhang Tonghai, smiled shyly, stretched out his small hand to touch his head, feeling not used to it, "The wind is blowing and it's cool."
"It's okay, it will grow out soon." Zhang Tenghai comforted him, "Daddy will also accompany you to do this hairstyle, which is called personal haircut."
"Don't, don't, don't." Qin Shen hurriedly told him to put this thought to rest, "Two kiwis in the house are enough, there is no need to add a third."
Qin Shen specially emphasized, "Really! Yes! No! Use it!"
Diudiu blinked, feeling a little regretful, touched his head, the hairy hawthorn felt so prickly in the palm of his hand, "Dad, when will we make the sesame paste?" Eat more to make your hair grow faster.
"I'll make rice cakes for you when I'm done, and put walnuts in them to nourish your brain,"
"Okay, Dad."
The family of three walked inside, Qin Shen saw Zhang Tenghai's thoughtful expression, narrowed his eyes dangerously, pressed his voice and leaned into his ear and said, "Don't shave your head, I like you like you are now."
Only then did Zhang Tenghai dispel the thoughts circling in his mind, "Okay, I get it."
Qin Shen knew that Zhang Tenghai was coming back, so he came out to pick him up. This was the first time for Zhang Tenghai to travel between the inn and the company by boat, and it was a very fresh experience.
There is no congestion when walking by water, the route is short and the speed is fast, and it takes half the time to travel by land. Leo went through the relevant procedures and made an application with Dongzhou Waterway Station, so water walking will not be hindered.I have to say that the assistant Leo is not much different from the omnipotent one. He not only has a driver's license for a car, but also a boat, and can also drive a small plane. It's just for Zhang Tenghai to go to the sky and enter the earth, and a million dollars a year The salary is decent.
Let’s not talk about this, but let’s talk about today’s lunch. Lin Xiaoning and his girlfriend Lan Yue’er brought back a lot of seafood, including fresh seafood and processed seafood. Two thick, super-grade kelp with a length of more than ten meters are not counted. What, an abalone, japonicus, high-quality squid, deep-sea Ankang and other top-quality seafood are dizzying.
With Lin Xiaoning's current strength in the fish market in Dongzhou City, he still can't touch such seafood, but Lanyue'er can do it, their family lives with seafood, and the whole sea is their pasture, and humans eat it. Those who have eaten and those that have not been eaten, the mermaids have seen and eaten them all.
With his girlfriend, Lin Xiaoning is still in the inspection period of the old man of the merman. He and Lan Yueer have made a rational plan. In the future, seafood will still be produced, but it is not a way of catching fish by exhausting the river, but a cooperation with the merman. , to raise better and higher quality seafood, and the money earned is invested in marine protection.
The short-term goal is to benefit the Yuren Lan clan.
The long-term goal is to lead the people to become rich and become well-off.
The future goal is to let the mermaids and humans compete on earth.
... Lin Xiaoning felt that he was probably a traitor to mankind.
Lin Xiaoning, who became a "traitor", also brought some wild sea puffer fish. There are many types of puffer fish, which mainly live in the ocean, and a few species have entered freshwater rivers. Their meat is delicious and poisonous. There are many records that countless people were poisoned for a mouthful of fresh puffer fish.
Nowadays, the most critical bait of artificially raised puffer fish has been adjusted, and the toxin is much lighter. However, the chef who makes the puffer fish still needs a qualification certificate issued by the relevant organization. After all, if it is not handled properly, it will be fatal.
"My father has a certificate, and I took a picture of it on my phone." Qiu Xingxing, who stayed at the inn for the Chinese New Year, took out his phone and dug out the photos he took to show everyone that Qiu Baocheng is proficient in making puffer fish and has been recognized by the state agency.
With this heavy guarantee, the puffer fish made by Qiu Baocheng will definitely make everyone feel at ease.
Qin Shen nodded, "It's the first time I've eaten fugu when I grow up. What kind of food is Brother Baocheng going to cook today?" He forgot what his son said about eating hot pot.
Diudiu, who was poking the fish, shouted dissatisfied: "Dad, I told you that Uncle Baocheng said that he would fillet the fish and put it in the hot pot."
When the pufferfish encounters foreign enemies, the air sacs in the abdominal cavity will expand rapidly, and the small thorns on the abdomen stand up to defend themselves. Under Diudiu's little hands, several pufferfish inflated into balls one by one, looking bulging It makes it look cute, which is why the generation of Dongzhou City calls puffer fish also called air drum fish.
"Sorry baby, Dad didn't remember."
The best way to experience the deliciousness of fish is to use as little seasoning as possible to cover up its own deliciousness. Fresh seafood is best eaten raw or steamed, so these ten puffer fish Qiu Baocheng will make two plates of fish for everyone Try it out, and the rest are sliced into fish fillets, but they are eaten hot in a pot of clean water.
Cooked food has no parasites, so it is more safe to eat.
The fish skin is partially blanched and then shredded to make cold dishes. It has a good gelatinous texture and toughness in the mouth.For the rest of the stewed braised fish, the small thorns on the fish skin scratched the tongue and mouth, and were chewed by the teeth. It felt a little strange, but the taste was quite good.
Each person has a small hot pot, which contains plain boiled water from the inn's well water. If you want to be more elegant, you can add two wolfberries and a few white chrysanthemums in it.
The crystal clear fish fillets are caught in the chopsticks, the color is white with a little powder, the taste is very crisp when eaten raw, and it is good to put it in the pot for a little while, and it tastes another feeling.
"Well, fugu liver is delicious."
Liu Niang took a bite of the liver, it was as thin as curd fat, and the feeling of melting in the mouth made her squint her eyes in enjoyment, the puffer fish liver is poisonous, if it is not handled well, it can poison an entire inn to death, even a veteran like Qiu Baocheng would not easily Try it, just give it up.
The poison that was discarded by others is the delicacy on the plate of Liuniang sisters. Who told them that they are more poisonous than puffer fish. As long as they are washed clean, they don't need any special treatment, and they will go down into the pot to eat. People are very hungry.
In addition to puffer fish, there are also small abalone, sweet shrimp, cream crab, razor clam, Meretrix meretrix, etc., all in a pot of clear water.
Qiu Baocheng also made a sauce. After getting tired of the single sweetness of fresh seafood, you can also dip it in this salty and fresh ingredient. The various flavors collide in the mouth, making it even better to eat.
"The green thing in Diudiu's abalone is not dirty, it's abalone liver, it's edible." Qin Shen noticed from the corner of his eye that Diudiu had dropped a crescent-shaped green thing behind the abalone, and said.
"But it feels weird."
Qin Shen didn't force it, "Then get it out, it's okay."
"Put all the ones you don't want to eat on the plate." Qiu Baocheng took a clean plate and put it on the table, "I marinated and processed it, and then I made abalone liver porridge, which tastes very good, and it feels better than eating it this way. "
"Yeah." Qin Shen sighed again, with Chef Qiu's inn, it is the real hometown. Without this perfect cooking skill, life would be much less fun.
When they had lunch, the rice noodles were steamed on the stove, which was steamed in a pot of 10 catties, and both stove holes were used, because the steaming was slow because of the large amount, and it took more than four to [-] minutes to steam such a pot.It is not steamed with the lid on, but opened, because the water vapor condenses and drips into the rice noodles, and the part that absorbs the water will become more viscous, affecting the overall taste.
After everyone finished their lunch and rested for a while, they started making rice cakes.
Put the steamed and hot rice balls into a large stone mortar, beat them vigorously with a wooden hammer, and beat them several times to make the rice balls fully stick together, and then they can be shaped.This stone mortar is still an old item in Qin Shen's family. It was one of the only things given to Lin Gaofeng and Qin Jing when they separated after their marriage.
Qin Jinglu threw away the other old products one after another. Only this stone mortar chiseled out of bluestone has been kept, which is the best for beating rice cakes.
"Let's try it instead. I didn't do much before, and it's the first time I pound so many rice cakes." A monster randomly picked out in the inn is stronger than Qin Shen. It wasn't Qin Shen's request, and he couldn't take the turn at all. he.
They were pounding rice cakes in the atrium of the inn, and everyone gathered here to join in the fun.
Qin Shen took the wooden hammer from Guo Yue's hand, and was almost thrown to the ground by the wooden hammer. This wooden hammer was specially tailored for the monster employees. The wood was covered with iron, and the whole weight was fifty catties. You can directly open a ladle by swiping it up.Throwing it into a one-hundred-jin rice ball will directly dent it heavily, and it is enough to smash it thirty or forty times with this force.
"Brother, can you do it? It's very heavy, don't lose your waist." Lin Xiaoning reminded her brother very kindly when she saw her brother's luck in the horse stance.
Qin Shen gritted his teeth and swung it, but he didn't swing it round. Because of the force, his voice changed, "Men can't do it."
The hammer smashed crookedly on the rice ball, and the rice ball moved lightly...
Although it can't be compared with monsters, this kind of result hurts the man's self-esteem.
Just when she was about to suffocate her strength for a second blow, Liu Niang yelled, "Boss, a guest is here."
Qin Shen put down the hammer helplessly, "Look, it's not that I don't want to hit it a second time, but the reality has to make me put it down. Alas, if I want to show it a few times, I don't have a chance."
"Haha, brother, pull it down, the cow is already flying in the sky." Lin Xiaoning laughed at his brother mercilessly, but saw his delicate and weak girlfriend easily picked up the wooden hammer and swung it round. The rice ball was smashed several times.
Lin Xiaoning, "..." Where did you go to find your girlfriend if you couldn't open the bottle cap? ! !
Qin Shen came to the lobby and saw an old couple waiting outside.The old man in his [-]s and [-]s is wearing simple and comfortable clothes. Because the inn is warm, he has already taken off the down jacket outside, revealing a woolen sweater with a dark blue plaid inside. He should also be wearing a shirt underneath, revealing a sweater of a different color than the woolen sweater. Slightly shallow collar.The old man has snow-white hair, but is not bald. He has a neutral appearance, a rosy complexion, a hale and hearty face, and a strong academic temperament. You can imagine how handsome he was when he was young.
Then look at the grandma standing beside the grandpa, she is a little younger than the grandpa, with short hair, gray hair, neutral clothes, not soft enough, with a calm expression, cold and indifferent eyes, looking at the surrounding things without revealing curiosity, look carefully His gaze is more like looking at research materials.
"Hi old man, welcome to Wangxiang Inn."
The old man walked to the bar. He was quite tall, almost at the same level as Qin Shen. He looked at Qin Shen with scrutiny, kindness, and kindness, as if he was satisfied with seeing a junior who fit his heart. Smile, "Hello, are you the boss here?"
"Yes, my surname is Qin." Since running the inn, when Qin Shen introduced himself to the people who came to the inn, he only said his last name.
The old man nodded and asked, "Who are you, Qin Zheng?"
Qin Shen swept the old man's face indiscriminately, and said, "Qin is exactly my grandfather."
"Then you are Qin Shen. I met you when you were six or seven years old." The old man is still an old friend, "I brought my grandson... ahem, my younger son came here. You called me Grandpa Zhang at that time, I am Zhang Tenghai's father, and this is my wife."
From the corner of Zhang Yuanhuai's eyes, he paused briefly on his wife's calm face. Seeing that the other party didn't show any abnormality, he thought that he probably didn't hear what he said.
Alas, this is also a bad debt in the family. As I grow older, I worry more and more, and my courage becomes smaller and smaller. After missing the opportunity to speak out again and again when I was young, it is even more difficult to speak out when I am old. I am afraid that the peaceful and harmonious family will cause waves, and I am afraid that my wife will not be able to bear the blow and have an accident... If you are too afraid, the deeper the secret is hidden, the more it will become a hurdle that cannot be overcome.
Zhang Yuanhuai sighed heavily in his heart, it was really "continuous cutting and messy reasoning".
Qin Shen had some understanding in his heart that Zhang Yuanhuai was like the old version of Zhang Tenghai. Although they were not very similar in appearance, the self-confidence, certainty and calmness emanating from their bones were exactly the same.
No matter how good-looking he is, without the temperament cultivated by his family and the self-cultivation cultivated by himself, he is just an embroidered pillow, but Zhang Tenghai is not, he is like a beautiful jade, completely natural.
"Hi, old man, wait here, I'll let someone serve tea." Qin Shen said with a smile, "I'll go to the back kitchen and call Lao Zhang out."
"Not busy, not busy, we didn't let the children know when we came here." The old man learned from his son that Zhang Tonghai was in the Wangxiang Inn. This year, Zhang Tonghai will not come back, Zhang Ruize is also busy with work all day, and the house is deserted. There were only him and his wife inside, listening to the laughter of children running past outside, I felt very old and lonely.With a thought in his heart, he took his wife on the plane to Dongzhou City and came to this place where he had been away for 20 years.
"Don't rush to find him, can I talk to you first?" The old man's attitude is very easy-going. He didn't come here to stop anything. No qualifications, as long as the child is doing well, it is more important to him than anything else, let alone two children who are so destined.
Qin Shen tightened his hands hanging by his side, and moved the corners of his mouth, smiling unnaturally, "Sit down first, I'll go inside and bring some tea."
"Okay, whatever you want, let's sit down first."
Qin Shen turned around and went into the kitchen. He saw that everyone was making rice cakes. The rice cakes should be made while they are still hot. Once they are cold, they will not be able to shape.The sticky glutinous rice cakes are pulled out into a small ball, first rolled into a circle, and then rolled into long strips that are as long as the palm of your hand. Take a mold and press it, and a piece of rice cake is ready.
The models are all made by Lin’s father. There are more than every year, there are flowers blooming side by side, and there are peace and peace...they are all auspicious words and patterns.
Zhang Tenghai grabbed a small ball and dipped some brown sugar into his mouth, "Is it delicious?"
Diu Diu narrowed his eyes happily, "Yeah, it's delicious. Dad, you can eat too. I'll give Dad some more."
Fresh hot rice cakes are dipped in brown sugar, and the brown sugar will slightly melt into a sticky caramel-colored syrup under the action of heat. Fresh rice cakes now taste a bit like brown sugar rice cakes, but the taste is tougher and chewier than rice cakes.
Glutinous rice is not easy to digest, and after Zhang Tenghai ate a piece, he was not allowed to touch it again.
The kitchen is in full swing, the second batch of rice noodles has been steamed in the pot, and everyone has to make rice cakes before the first pot is not cold.
Qin Shen didn't bother them when he came in to serve tea and refreshments.
The tea was black tea from the cellar, and the refreshment was red bean cake. Qin Shen specially brought a set of white porcelain tea sets to entertain guests, and always felt that it would be impolite to bring out a glass.
When they came out, Zhang Yuanhuai and his wife were already seated in the small side hall by the window. Mo Chen was not there in the corner of the "Baishuiguan inn office". Will be back.
When approaching with tea and snacks, Qin Shen heard Zhang Yuanhuai say to his wife in a nostalgic tone: "Wangxiang Inn, I have been here twice in the past, and this is the third time in my life. This place has saved my life. Having saved the life of Qi Hai, our Zhang family has an indissoluble bond with it."
When Qin Shen walked, the sound of his footsteps became louder on purpose, Zhang Yuanhuai turned his head and waved to Qin Shen, using an amiable attitude towards the younger generation, not the inn owner. "Xiao Qin, come here and sit down."
Qin Shen sat down, and his demeanor became naturally generous. He was no longer constrained by the identity of the other party. He poured tea for the old man and the old lady, "I don't know much about the tea brought by Lao Zhang, so I just think it's good to drink tea." The tea that comes out is very fragrant." The tea eggs are also delicious, "Grandpa, please try it."
The fragrance of the tea is long, and the soup is bright red and clear. Mr. Qin took a sip, "Qimen black tea tastes like the one from the old tree, and the annual production is only a few."
Qin Shen poured water into his mouth in a gentle manner, feeling that what he drank was not tea but money. Fortunately, he didn't say that he grabbed a handful of boiled tea eggs.
Suddenly, there was a feeling of a cow chewing peonies, and Qin Shen felt that he was that cow...
Don't talk about tea, it will hurt your money and your flesh will hurt.Qin Shen turned to recommend the red bean cake made by Qiu Baocheng. This cake is unpretentious, with simple ingredients, but the workmanship is no worse than that of a thousand gold one tael black tea. It tastes sweet and delicious, delicate and smooth, and melts in the mouth. "This is not It's very sweet, try it." If you think it's too weak, it's also good to put a spoonful of Sophora japonica honey on it.
The old man took a piece and put it in his mouth, "Well, it's really delicious, this red bean is fragrant."
"If you like it, eat more. Come here at this time, did you have lunch before?"
"I have eaten some in the city, and I have eaten here."
"Oh." Qin Shen nodded, "If you feel hungry, just tell me, and I'll let the kitchen make it. I'm making rice cakes today, so you can have a bowl of boiled rice cakes to eat."
"Okay, good boy, we'll talk if we need anything."
The only intersection they had was Zhang Tenghai, who had never seen each other before, at least in Qin Shen's memory, and was a complete stranger.After talking about food for a while, I fell into a cold spot and didn't know what to say.
"Father..."
"I……"
After being silent for a while, Qin Shen and Mr. Zhang spoke at the same time, looked at each other, and smiled. Qin Shen said, "Mr. Zhang, if you have anything to say, say it first."
"Then I will rely on the old to sell the old first." Zhang Yuanhuai has an easy-going and cheerful personality. If he was not busy with work, dedication to the country, and pursuit of higher achievements when he was young, he would probably be more harmonious with his children and grandchildren. "I'm older than you, so I'll call you Xiao Qin."
Qin Shen nodded, "Yes, yes."
Zhang Yuanhuai turned his head, looked around the inn, his eyes showed nostalgia, "This place is the same as before, but there are many differences. You should have heard it before, today is my third visit to the inn."
Zhang Yuanhuai was born in a turbulent era, and his family has generations of scholars. He should have picked up a pen and abandoned it to join the army. He followed in the footsteps of his elder brother and went to the battlefield when he was a teenager. All victories are won through sacrifice and wit.
In his third year in the army, Zhang Yuanhuai, who was escorting a group of orphaned soldiers, was passing through Dongzhou City. When a group of enemies chased and intercepted him, he led his teammates to the rear and let the others go first.After hiding in the woods for several days, Zhang Yuanhuai and others were still discovered by the enemy. During the battle, his teammates died one after another. Zhang Yuanhuai was also seriously injured. He stumbled to the edge of the Qinghe River. Then he saw an old building and hid in it. .
This building is Wangxiang Inn.
He met Qin Zheng, who had only taken over the inn for a few years. During the time he was recuperating at the inn, he and Qin Zheng hit it off and became close friends. He also met a friend with a big thumb. The three of them chatted , Talking about life, at that time, high-spirited, happy and enmity, who would have thought that it would be like this after old age.
After the war, Zhang Yuanhuai resumed his studies and learned how to make advanced weapons. During this period, he gave birth to his only son Zhang Ruize. Later, his wife became seriously ill and died. He took a child and was transferred to another field for research. Work is all from the sky, and the latter is even more difficult when flying through the atmosphere.
At that time, I got along with my colleague Zhao Minhui for a long time, and gradually developed feelings for marriage.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Tenghai, the grandson who was raised as the youngest son, has grown to be 17 years old.
"This is the second time I have come to the inn." Zhang Yuanhuai said with a dry mouth, and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. Qin Shen continued to refill it for him, and he continued: "My youngest son Zhang Tenghai was born at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Sometimes I often fell into nightmares, at first it was only at night, and later I could fall asleep while walking during the day, and I became groggy. Although I study science, I also believe in some non-scientific things.”
The old man smiled, "Who told me to come to the Wangxiang Inn." I have seen all kinds of miracles, "The situation in Tonghai is very bad. After decades, I came to Hongye Town Heping with the idea of giving it a try. At the end of the road, I found the Wangxiang Inn."
After leaving for the first time, both the social environment and personal life changed too much. After Zhang Yuanhuai left, he never came back. The second time he came, he also asked for something.
Zhang Yuanhuai came to the Wangxiang Inn with Zhang Tonghai, who was suffering from the disease of leaving the soul. Here he met the little Qin Shen, who was six or seven years old. It was amazing to say that not long after arriving at the inn, Zhang Tonghai died naturally without receiving any treatment. Well, I played with Xiao Qinshen for a while.
Qin Shen has no memory of before the age of seven. Hearing Mr. Zhang say this, he scratched his heart like a cat, "Old Zhang never told me about this!"
"You call him Lao Zhang?" Zhang Yuan Huailang laughed out loud, "Then I will add two more olds to this old word."
Qin Shen pursed his lips and chuckled, "I'm used to it. I used to call him Mr. Zhang." He was more concerned about his childhood, and asked Zhang Yuanhuai, "What happened to the old man? Old Zhang never mentioned it to me to visit his hometown. About the inn."
"When we left Wangxiang Inn, he was fine and said he would come to see you when he was free. But he fell into a coma shortly after arriving home. The coma didn't last long. When he woke up again, he didn't remember that experience. "
Qin Shen frowned in disappointment, "It turned out to be like this."
Combining the previous events with this matter, some things that I couldn't figure out were finally straightened out.
In the past, Qin Shen always wondered that his grandfather gave him the pendant engraved with the yin-yang talisman 20 years ago, and asked him to give it to his destined person, but Zhang Tenghai is thousands of miles away from him, so how could he give him the glass pendant? ?When Cui Jue came here, he also repeatedly said that he should have given the glass pendant to Zhang Chenhai 20 years ago, but he gave it to Zhang Fangzi, and was affected by the other party's evil spirit, so it still didn't go well.
Now I finally understand that Zhang Chenghai came to the inn 20 years ago and met me, maybe my grandfather told me to hand over the pendant to him.But I don't know why, so I gave the pendant to Zhang Fangzi, and it took 20 years of accidents.
I really want to get that memory back.
"When I heard Cheng Hai say that his lover's name is Qin Shen, I thought of that tough and mischievous little guy back then. I didn't expect you to be together after going around all the time."
Qin Shen's furrowed brows and eyes stretched out, showing a bright smile. There are many things that the old man can't think of. They have been going around for hundreds of years instead of 20 years. The general and the prince standing side by side under the tree began to entangle.
Light footsteps walked around the bar and came out. Diudiu walked around the lobby and found his father. He walked over there with freshly made rice cakes. The rice cakes in his hands were rolled into small balls. , topped with syrup and soybean flour, the taste is sticky and sweet, just the right time for deliciousness.
"Dad, I made rice cakes with my own hands."
Qin Shen took the rice cake from his hand, picked up the little guy and sat down beside him, and introduced the two people opposite him, "Dudiu, call grandpa and grandma."
Although Zhang Yuanhuai and his wife raised Zhang Tenghai as their youngest son, they are Zhang Tenghai's ancestors. If Diudiu calls him grandpa and grandma again, his seniority will be messed up. It is reasonable to call him Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Zeng, but there are some entanglements inside. For the matter, the "Zeng" couldn't be called out again, so Qin Shen could only let the child yell like this.
Diudiu called obediently: "Grandpa, grandma."
Foreigners don't celebrate the Spring Festival, so they pick some New Year's festivals to come over to find things to do for everyone who is about to have a holiday. After Zhang Tonghai is asked to come forward to deal with the matter, he returns to the inn with a small gift for Diu Diu and Qin Shen.Employees who continue to follow up on this matter will definitely have to sacrifice the Spring Festival holiday. Zhang Tonghai will reward him on the basis of three times the salary during the Spring Festival. As long as the work is done well, he has never been a stingy boss.
Getting off the boat and stepping on the waterfront platform of the inn, Zhang Tenghai casually picked a lotus pod from the lotus bushes standing gracefully beside him, and threw it on the boat.
Because Leo often came to the inn with Zhang Chenghai, Qin Shen also prepared a new year's goods for him, all kinds of sausages, bacon, sauced ducks, etc. made by the inn, as well as eggs laid by the raised chickens and ducks and fresh meat. On the way back to the inn, Leo told Zhang Tenghai casually that fresh lotus seeds are delicious, and Zhang Tenghai picked one for him before getting off the boat. He is really a caring and good boss.
"Leo, you can go on vacation now, I won't leave the inn until the annual vacation is over."
Leo saw a lotus pod flying out of the void, subconsciously caught it, and then heard the boss's words, he quickly said seriously: "Boss, my parents came to Dongzhou City to celebrate the Spring Festival with me. Pass it on."
"That's fine, you wait for the notice."
"...Okay, Boss." Leo still hoped that the boss would say "I don't need you", as expected, he insisted on what he meant.
Because he was not facing anyone directly, Leo showed a corner of the tangled expression on his face, which was clearly seen by Zhang Chenghai. He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, and said, "I have troubled you for the past two years, so take a good rest this Spring Festival." , I won’t look for you. I heard that you and your girlfriend are getting close, and I will give you a big red envelope when you get married.”
The calm and elite Leo showed an embarrassed expression, "Thank you boss for your concern. We should get married in the first half of next year. She and I want to settle in Dongzhou City in the future."
Zhang's job is very promising. Zhang Tenghai is a strict boss, but he is not harsh. With him, he can experience and learn a lot, and his pockets are constantly bulging. Leo has thought about it, Mr. Qin is in Dongzhou City, the boss will definitely not leave here, he simply settled his family here, and will continue to work with the boss for a long time.
After Leo left, Zhang Tonghai carried the gift box into the house, and saw Qin Shen coming out, wearing a simple sweater and jeans, with... hair stubble from a distance, as if he had shaved his head, calm as Zhang Tonghai endured I couldn't help but widen my eyes, "Why, why did you shave so short?"
In summer, my hair is flattened, and it is not as short as it is now.
Qin Shen has a good face shape, and he can control various hairstyles. This near-bald shape makes him look straight, sunny and handsome with toughness, which is a little different from the previous impression.
Qin Shen rubbed his head in embarrassment, "Isn't it pretty?"
Zhang Tenghai took two steps forward and stood in front of Qin Shen. He raised his right hand and moved his fingers along Qin Shen's temples. The soft and prickly touch made his fingertips feel numb and itchy. Passed to the brain, the brain seemed to be stabbed, and the trembling was sent to the soul.
"No, it looks good. My Qin Shen looks good with any hairstyle." Zhang Tenghai leaned his head forward, his lips resting on Qin Shen's cheek, and his deep and soft voice slowly sounded, "Where did you shave, I will get one too." supplementary."
"..." Moist breath blew on his face, itching, Qin Shen couldn't help turning his head sideways, and pinched Zhang Tenghai's waist, "No shaving, we were just an accident."
Zhang Tenghai laughed softly, "But I think it feels good." His hand was already covering the back of Qin Shen's head, and he moved it up and down in small increments.
Eyes as deep as a long river are full of tenderness, Zhang Tenghai's lips hovering in front of his cheeks slid to Qin Shen's lips, a distance of one finger...
The breath is entangled, and the kiss is close.
"Daddy." The child's brisk footsteps came from the room, accompanied by a soft cry.
Zhang Tenghai let go of his hand regretfully, turned his head to look at Diudiu, suddenly his head was held in both hands, soft lips touched his lips and they were about to leave.
Qin Shen let go of his hand and winked at him, turned around and opened his hand to welcome his baby.
Diudiu dashed out of the room, flung himself on his father with open arms, and complained with a crisp, sugary laugh, "Dad, you're blocking me from seeing Daddy."
Qin Shen hugged his son's head and rubbed it for a while. The child's hair was soft, and it felt really good in the hand, "I hate you, if you have a dad, you don't need a dad."
"Hehehe, all of them."
Zhang Tenghai raised his hand to touch his lips, beside his ears were the cheerful laughter of Qin Shen and Diudiu, and the corners of his mouth became more and more curved.
Qin Shen turned around with Diu Diu in his hands, holding Diu Diu's little face in his hands, the delicate face turned into a pleated steamed bun, his almond eyes were squeezed into a slit, and Diu Diu looked towards Zhang Tenghai He waved his hand and greeted his father with a strange voice, "Daddy, you are back, let's have lunch together later, uncle and aunt came, and brought fish that would be angry, Uncle Baocheng said that fish was very fresh , It’s delicious, slice the fish and serve it in the hot pot.”
Zhang Tenghai: "..."
Zhang Tenghai stretched out his hand in disbelief and touched Diudiu's head. His soft hair turned into soft, thorny stubble. The smile on his face collapsed, and his voice raised slightly: "Is this the latest fashion?!"
"Don't mention it, it wasn't like this." After playing with Diudiu for a while, Qin Shen let go of him, and talked to Zhang Tonghai about what happened in the barber shop, "I can't help it, so I shaved my current hairstyle, but Hair grows fast and will be able to get rid of the 'kiwi' in no time."
Diudiu, who was leaning on Zhang Tonghai, smiled shyly, stretched out his small hand to touch his head, feeling not used to it, "The wind is blowing and it's cool."
"It's okay, it will grow out soon." Zhang Tenghai comforted him, "Daddy will also accompany you to do this hairstyle, which is called personal haircut."
"Don't, don't, don't." Qin Shen hurriedly told him to put this thought to rest, "Two kiwis in the house are enough, there is no need to add a third."
Qin Shen specially emphasized, "Really! Yes! No! Use it!"
Diudiu blinked, feeling a little regretful, touched his head, the hairy hawthorn felt so prickly in the palm of his hand, "Dad, when will we make the sesame paste?" Eat more to make your hair grow faster.
"I'll make rice cakes for you when I'm done, and put walnuts in them to nourish your brain,"
"Okay, Dad."
The family of three walked inside, Qin Shen saw Zhang Tenghai's thoughtful expression, narrowed his eyes dangerously, pressed his voice and leaned into his ear and said, "Don't shave your head, I like you like you are now."
Only then did Zhang Tenghai dispel the thoughts circling in his mind, "Okay, I get it."
Qin Shen knew that Zhang Tenghai was coming back, so he came out to pick him up. This was the first time for Zhang Tenghai to travel between the inn and the company by boat, and it was a very fresh experience.
There is no congestion when walking by water, the route is short and the speed is fast, and it takes half the time to travel by land. Leo went through the relevant procedures and made an application with Dongzhou Waterway Station, so water walking will not be hindered.I have to say that the assistant Leo is not much different from the omnipotent one. He not only has a driver's license for a car, but also a boat, and can also drive a small plane. It's just for Zhang Tenghai to go to the sky and enter the earth, and a million dollars a year The salary is decent.
Let’s not talk about this, but let’s talk about today’s lunch. Lin Xiaoning and his girlfriend Lan Yue’er brought back a lot of seafood, including fresh seafood and processed seafood. Two thick, super-grade kelp with a length of more than ten meters are not counted. What, an abalone, japonicus, high-quality squid, deep-sea Ankang and other top-quality seafood are dizzying.
With Lin Xiaoning's current strength in the fish market in Dongzhou City, he still can't touch such seafood, but Lanyue'er can do it, their family lives with seafood, and the whole sea is their pasture, and humans eat it. Those who have eaten and those that have not been eaten, the mermaids have seen and eaten them all.
With his girlfriend, Lin Xiaoning is still in the inspection period of the old man of the merman. He and Lan Yueer have made a rational plan. In the future, seafood will still be produced, but it is not a way of catching fish by exhausting the river, but a cooperation with the merman. , to raise better and higher quality seafood, and the money earned is invested in marine protection.
The short-term goal is to benefit the Yuren Lan clan.
The long-term goal is to lead the people to become rich and become well-off.
The future goal is to let the mermaids and humans compete on earth.
... Lin Xiaoning felt that he was probably a traitor to mankind.
Lin Xiaoning, who became a "traitor", also brought some wild sea puffer fish. There are many types of puffer fish, which mainly live in the ocean, and a few species have entered freshwater rivers. Their meat is delicious and poisonous. There are many records that countless people were poisoned for a mouthful of fresh puffer fish.
Nowadays, the most critical bait of artificially raised puffer fish has been adjusted, and the toxin is much lighter. However, the chef who makes the puffer fish still needs a qualification certificate issued by the relevant organization. After all, if it is not handled properly, it will be fatal.
"My father has a certificate, and I took a picture of it on my phone." Qiu Xingxing, who stayed at the inn for the Chinese New Year, took out his phone and dug out the photos he took to show everyone that Qiu Baocheng is proficient in making puffer fish and has been recognized by the state agency.
With this heavy guarantee, the puffer fish made by Qiu Baocheng will definitely make everyone feel at ease.
Qin Shen nodded, "It's the first time I've eaten fugu when I grow up. What kind of food is Brother Baocheng going to cook today?" He forgot what his son said about eating hot pot.
Diudiu, who was poking the fish, shouted dissatisfied: "Dad, I told you that Uncle Baocheng said that he would fillet the fish and put it in the hot pot."
When the pufferfish encounters foreign enemies, the air sacs in the abdominal cavity will expand rapidly, and the small thorns on the abdomen stand up to defend themselves. Under Diudiu's little hands, several pufferfish inflated into balls one by one, looking bulging It makes it look cute, which is why the generation of Dongzhou City calls puffer fish also called air drum fish.
"Sorry baby, Dad didn't remember."
The best way to experience the deliciousness of fish is to use as little seasoning as possible to cover up its own deliciousness. Fresh seafood is best eaten raw or steamed, so these ten puffer fish Qiu Baocheng will make two plates of fish for everyone Try it out, and the rest are sliced into fish fillets, but they are eaten hot in a pot of clean water.
Cooked food has no parasites, so it is more safe to eat.
The fish skin is partially blanched and then shredded to make cold dishes. It has a good gelatinous texture and toughness in the mouth.For the rest of the stewed braised fish, the small thorns on the fish skin scratched the tongue and mouth, and were chewed by the teeth. It felt a little strange, but the taste was quite good.
Each person has a small hot pot, which contains plain boiled water from the inn's well water. If you want to be more elegant, you can add two wolfberries and a few white chrysanthemums in it.
The crystal clear fish fillets are caught in the chopsticks, the color is white with a little powder, the taste is very crisp when eaten raw, and it is good to put it in the pot for a little while, and it tastes another feeling.
"Well, fugu liver is delicious."
Liu Niang took a bite of the liver, it was as thin as curd fat, and the feeling of melting in the mouth made her squint her eyes in enjoyment, the puffer fish liver is poisonous, if it is not handled well, it can poison an entire inn to death, even a veteran like Qiu Baocheng would not easily Try it, just give it up.
The poison that was discarded by others is the delicacy on the plate of Liuniang sisters. Who told them that they are more poisonous than puffer fish. As long as they are washed clean, they don't need any special treatment, and they will go down into the pot to eat. People are very hungry.
In addition to puffer fish, there are also small abalone, sweet shrimp, cream crab, razor clam, Meretrix meretrix, etc., all in a pot of clear water.
Qiu Baocheng also made a sauce. After getting tired of the single sweetness of fresh seafood, you can also dip it in this salty and fresh ingredient. The various flavors collide in the mouth, making it even better to eat.
"The green thing in Diudiu's abalone is not dirty, it's abalone liver, it's edible." Qin Shen noticed from the corner of his eye that Diudiu had dropped a crescent-shaped green thing behind the abalone, and said.
"But it feels weird."
Qin Shen didn't force it, "Then get it out, it's okay."
"Put all the ones you don't want to eat on the plate." Qiu Baocheng took a clean plate and put it on the table, "I marinated and processed it, and then I made abalone liver porridge, which tastes very good, and it feels better than eating it this way. "
"Yeah." Qin Shen sighed again, with Chef Qiu's inn, it is the real hometown. Without this perfect cooking skill, life would be much less fun.
When they had lunch, the rice noodles were steamed on the stove, which was steamed in a pot of 10 catties, and both stove holes were used, because the steaming was slow because of the large amount, and it took more than four to [-] minutes to steam such a pot.It is not steamed with the lid on, but opened, because the water vapor condenses and drips into the rice noodles, and the part that absorbs the water will become more viscous, affecting the overall taste.
After everyone finished their lunch and rested for a while, they started making rice cakes.
Put the steamed and hot rice balls into a large stone mortar, beat them vigorously with a wooden hammer, and beat them several times to make the rice balls fully stick together, and then they can be shaped.This stone mortar is still an old item in Qin Shen's family. It was one of the only things given to Lin Gaofeng and Qin Jing when they separated after their marriage.
Qin Jinglu threw away the other old products one after another. Only this stone mortar chiseled out of bluestone has been kept, which is the best for beating rice cakes.
"Let's try it instead. I didn't do much before, and it's the first time I pound so many rice cakes." A monster randomly picked out in the inn is stronger than Qin Shen. It wasn't Qin Shen's request, and he couldn't take the turn at all. he.
They were pounding rice cakes in the atrium of the inn, and everyone gathered here to join in the fun.
Qin Shen took the wooden hammer from Guo Yue's hand, and was almost thrown to the ground by the wooden hammer. This wooden hammer was specially tailored for the monster employees. The wood was covered with iron, and the whole weight was fifty catties. You can directly open a ladle by swiping it up.Throwing it into a one-hundred-jin rice ball will directly dent it heavily, and it is enough to smash it thirty or forty times with this force.
"Brother, can you do it? It's very heavy, don't lose your waist." Lin Xiaoning reminded her brother very kindly when she saw her brother's luck in the horse stance.
Qin Shen gritted his teeth and swung it, but he didn't swing it round. Because of the force, his voice changed, "Men can't do it."
The hammer smashed crookedly on the rice ball, and the rice ball moved lightly...
Although it can't be compared with monsters, this kind of result hurts the man's self-esteem.
Just when she was about to suffocate her strength for a second blow, Liu Niang yelled, "Boss, a guest is here."
Qin Shen put down the hammer helplessly, "Look, it's not that I don't want to hit it a second time, but the reality has to make me put it down. Alas, if I want to show it a few times, I don't have a chance."
"Haha, brother, pull it down, the cow is already flying in the sky." Lin Xiaoning laughed at his brother mercilessly, but saw his delicate and weak girlfriend easily picked up the wooden hammer and swung it round. The rice ball was smashed several times.
Lin Xiaoning, "..." Where did you go to find your girlfriend if you couldn't open the bottle cap? ! !
Qin Shen came to the lobby and saw an old couple waiting outside.The old man in his [-]s and [-]s is wearing simple and comfortable clothes. Because the inn is warm, he has already taken off the down jacket outside, revealing a woolen sweater with a dark blue plaid inside. He should also be wearing a shirt underneath, revealing a sweater of a different color than the woolen sweater. Slightly shallow collar.The old man has snow-white hair, but is not bald. He has a neutral appearance, a rosy complexion, a hale and hearty face, and a strong academic temperament. You can imagine how handsome he was when he was young.
Then look at the grandma standing beside the grandpa, she is a little younger than the grandpa, with short hair, gray hair, neutral clothes, not soft enough, with a calm expression, cold and indifferent eyes, looking at the surrounding things without revealing curiosity, look carefully His gaze is more like looking at research materials.
"Hi old man, welcome to Wangxiang Inn."
The old man walked to the bar. He was quite tall, almost at the same level as Qin Shen. He looked at Qin Shen with scrutiny, kindness, and kindness, as if he was satisfied with seeing a junior who fit his heart. Smile, "Hello, are you the boss here?"
"Yes, my surname is Qin." Since running the inn, when Qin Shen introduced himself to the people who came to the inn, he only said his last name.
The old man nodded and asked, "Who are you, Qin Zheng?"
Qin Shen swept the old man's face indiscriminately, and said, "Qin is exactly my grandfather."
"Then you are Qin Shen. I met you when you were six or seven years old." The old man is still an old friend, "I brought my grandson... ahem, my younger son came here. You called me Grandpa Zhang at that time, I am Zhang Tenghai's father, and this is my wife."
From the corner of Zhang Yuanhuai's eyes, he paused briefly on his wife's calm face. Seeing that the other party didn't show any abnormality, he thought that he probably didn't hear what he said.
Alas, this is also a bad debt in the family. As I grow older, I worry more and more, and my courage becomes smaller and smaller. After missing the opportunity to speak out again and again when I was young, it is even more difficult to speak out when I am old. I am afraid that the peaceful and harmonious family will cause waves, and I am afraid that my wife will not be able to bear the blow and have an accident... If you are too afraid, the deeper the secret is hidden, the more it will become a hurdle that cannot be overcome.
Zhang Yuanhuai sighed heavily in his heart, it was really "continuous cutting and messy reasoning".
Qin Shen had some understanding in his heart that Zhang Yuanhuai was like the old version of Zhang Tenghai. Although they were not very similar in appearance, the self-confidence, certainty and calmness emanating from their bones were exactly the same.
No matter how good-looking he is, without the temperament cultivated by his family and the self-cultivation cultivated by himself, he is just an embroidered pillow, but Zhang Tenghai is not, he is like a beautiful jade, completely natural.
"Hi, old man, wait here, I'll let someone serve tea." Qin Shen said with a smile, "I'll go to the back kitchen and call Lao Zhang out."
"Not busy, not busy, we didn't let the children know when we came here." The old man learned from his son that Zhang Tonghai was in the Wangxiang Inn. This year, Zhang Tonghai will not come back, Zhang Ruize is also busy with work all day, and the house is deserted. There were only him and his wife inside, listening to the laughter of children running past outside, I felt very old and lonely.With a thought in his heart, he took his wife on the plane to Dongzhou City and came to this place where he had been away for 20 years.
"Don't rush to find him, can I talk to you first?" The old man's attitude is very easy-going. He didn't come here to stop anything. No qualifications, as long as the child is doing well, it is more important to him than anything else, let alone two children who are so destined.
Qin Shen tightened his hands hanging by his side, and moved the corners of his mouth, smiling unnaturally, "Sit down first, I'll go inside and bring some tea."
"Okay, whatever you want, let's sit down first."
Qin Shen turned around and went into the kitchen. He saw that everyone was making rice cakes. The rice cakes should be made while they are still hot. Once they are cold, they will not be able to shape.The sticky glutinous rice cakes are pulled out into a small ball, first rolled into a circle, and then rolled into long strips that are as long as the palm of your hand. Take a mold and press it, and a piece of rice cake is ready.
The models are all made by Lin’s father. There are more than every year, there are flowers blooming side by side, and there are peace and peace...they are all auspicious words and patterns.
Zhang Tenghai grabbed a small ball and dipped some brown sugar into his mouth, "Is it delicious?"
Diu Diu narrowed his eyes happily, "Yeah, it's delicious. Dad, you can eat too. I'll give Dad some more."
Fresh hot rice cakes are dipped in brown sugar, and the brown sugar will slightly melt into a sticky caramel-colored syrup under the action of heat. Fresh rice cakes now taste a bit like brown sugar rice cakes, but the taste is tougher and chewier than rice cakes.
Glutinous rice is not easy to digest, and after Zhang Tenghai ate a piece, he was not allowed to touch it again.
The kitchen is in full swing, the second batch of rice noodles has been steamed in the pot, and everyone has to make rice cakes before the first pot is not cold.
Qin Shen didn't bother them when he came in to serve tea and refreshments.
The tea was black tea from the cellar, and the refreshment was red bean cake. Qin Shen specially brought a set of white porcelain tea sets to entertain guests, and always felt that it would be impolite to bring out a glass.
When they came out, Zhang Yuanhuai and his wife were already seated in the small side hall by the window. Mo Chen was not there in the corner of the "Baishuiguan inn office". Will be back.
When approaching with tea and snacks, Qin Shen heard Zhang Yuanhuai say to his wife in a nostalgic tone: "Wangxiang Inn, I have been here twice in the past, and this is the third time in my life. This place has saved my life. Having saved the life of Qi Hai, our Zhang family has an indissoluble bond with it."
When Qin Shen walked, the sound of his footsteps became louder on purpose, Zhang Yuanhuai turned his head and waved to Qin Shen, using an amiable attitude towards the younger generation, not the inn owner. "Xiao Qin, come here and sit down."
Qin Shen sat down, and his demeanor became naturally generous. He was no longer constrained by the identity of the other party. He poured tea for the old man and the old lady, "I don't know much about the tea brought by Lao Zhang, so I just think it's good to drink tea." The tea that comes out is very fragrant." The tea eggs are also delicious, "Grandpa, please try it."
The fragrance of the tea is long, and the soup is bright red and clear. Mr. Qin took a sip, "Qimen black tea tastes like the one from the old tree, and the annual production is only a few."
Qin Shen poured water into his mouth in a gentle manner, feeling that what he drank was not tea but money. Fortunately, he didn't say that he grabbed a handful of boiled tea eggs.
Suddenly, there was a feeling of a cow chewing peonies, and Qin Shen felt that he was that cow...
Don't talk about tea, it will hurt your money and your flesh will hurt.Qin Shen turned to recommend the red bean cake made by Qiu Baocheng. This cake is unpretentious, with simple ingredients, but the workmanship is no worse than that of a thousand gold one tael black tea. It tastes sweet and delicious, delicate and smooth, and melts in the mouth. "This is not It's very sweet, try it." If you think it's too weak, it's also good to put a spoonful of Sophora japonica honey on it.
The old man took a piece and put it in his mouth, "Well, it's really delicious, this red bean is fragrant."
"If you like it, eat more. Come here at this time, did you have lunch before?"
"I have eaten some in the city, and I have eaten here."
"Oh." Qin Shen nodded, "If you feel hungry, just tell me, and I'll let the kitchen make it. I'm making rice cakes today, so you can have a bowl of boiled rice cakes to eat."
"Okay, good boy, we'll talk if we need anything."
The only intersection they had was Zhang Tenghai, who had never seen each other before, at least in Qin Shen's memory, and was a complete stranger.After talking about food for a while, I fell into a cold spot and didn't know what to say.
"Father..."
"I……"
After being silent for a while, Qin Shen and Mr. Zhang spoke at the same time, looked at each other, and smiled. Qin Shen said, "Mr. Zhang, if you have anything to say, say it first."
"Then I will rely on the old to sell the old first." Zhang Yuanhuai has an easy-going and cheerful personality. If he was not busy with work, dedication to the country, and pursuit of higher achievements when he was young, he would probably be more harmonious with his children and grandchildren. "I'm older than you, so I'll call you Xiao Qin."
Qin Shen nodded, "Yes, yes."
Zhang Yuanhuai turned his head, looked around the inn, his eyes showed nostalgia, "This place is the same as before, but there are many differences. You should have heard it before, today is my third visit to the inn."
Zhang Yuanhuai was born in a turbulent era, and his family has generations of scholars. He should have picked up a pen and abandoned it to join the army. He followed in the footsteps of his elder brother and went to the battlefield when he was a teenager. All victories are won through sacrifice and wit.
In his third year in the army, Zhang Yuanhuai, who was escorting a group of orphaned soldiers, was passing through Dongzhou City. When a group of enemies chased and intercepted him, he led his teammates to the rear and let the others go first.After hiding in the woods for several days, Zhang Yuanhuai and others were still discovered by the enemy. During the battle, his teammates died one after another. Zhang Yuanhuai was also seriously injured. He stumbled to the edge of the Qinghe River. Then he saw an old building and hid in it. .
This building is Wangxiang Inn.
He met Qin Zheng, who had only taken over the inn for a few years. During the time he was recuperating at the inn, he and Qin Zheng hit it off and became close friends. He also met a friend with a big thumb. The three of them chatted , Talking about life, at that time, high-spirited, happy and enmity, who would have thought that it would be like this after old age.
After the war, Zhang Yuanhuai resumed his studies and learned how to make advanced weapons. During this period, he gave birth to his only son Zhang Ruize. Later, his wife became seriously ill and died. He took a child and was transferred to another field for research. Work is all from the sky, and the latter is even more difficult when flying through the atmosphere.
At that time, I got along with my colleague Zhao Minhui for a long time, and gradually developed feelings for marriage.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Tenghai, the grandson who was raised as the youngest son, has grown to be 17 years old.
"This is the second time I have come to the inn." Zhang Yuanhuai said with a dry mouth, and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. Qin Shen continued to refill it for him, and he continued: "My youngest son Zhang Tenghai was born at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Sometimes I often fell into nightmares, at first it was only at night, and later I could fall asleep while walking during the day, and I became groggy. Although I study science, I also believe in some non-scientific things.”
The old man smiled, "Who told me to come to the Wangxiang Inn." I have seen all kinds of miracles, "The situation in Tonghai is very bad. After decades, I came to Hongye Town Heping with the idea of giving it a try. At the end of the road, I found the Wangxiang Inn."
After leaving for the first time, both the social environment and personal life changed too much. After Zhang Yuanhuai left, he never came back. The second time he came, he also asked for something.
Zhang Yuanhuai came to the Wangxiang Inn with Zhang Tonghai, who was suffering from the disease of leaving the soul. Here he met the little Qin Shen, who was six or seven years old. It was amazing to say that not long after arriving at the inn, Zhang Tonghai died naturally without receiving any treatment. Well, I played with Xiao Qinshen for a while.
Qin Shen has no memory of before the age of seven. Hearing Mr. Zhang say this, he scratched his heart like a cat, "Old Zhang never told me about this!"
"You call him Lao Zhang?" Zhang Yuan Huailang laughed out loud, "Then I will add two more olds to this old word."
Qin Shen pursed his lips and chuckled, "I'm used to it. I used to call him Mr. Zhang." He was more concerned about his childhood, and asked Zhang Yuanhuai, "What happened to the old man? Old Zhang never mentioned it to me to visit his hometown. About the inn."
"When we left Wangxiang Inn, he was fine and said he would come to see you when he was free. But he fell into a coma shortly after arriving home. The coma didn't last long. When he woke up again, he didn't remember that experience. "
Qin Shen frowned in disappointment, "It turned out to be like this."
Combining the previous events with this matter, some things that I couldn't figure out were finally straightened out.
In the past, Qin Shen always wondered that his grandfather gave him the pendant engraved with the yin-yang talisman 20 years ago, and asked him to give it to his destined person, but Zhang Tenghai is thousands of miles away from him, so how could he give him the glass pendant? ?When Cui Jue came here, he also repeatedly said that he should have given the glass pendant to Zhang Chenhai 20 years ago, but he gave it to Zhang Fangzi, and was affected by the other party's evil spirit, so it still didn't go well.
Now I finally understand that Zhang Chenghai came to the inn 20 years ago and met me, maybe my grandfather told me to hand over the pendant to him.But I don't know why, so I gave the pendant to Zhang Fangzi, and it took 20 years of accidents.
I really want to get that memory back.
"When I heard Cheng Hai say that his lover's name is Qin Shen, I thought of that tough and mischievous little guy back then. I didn't expect you to be together after going around all the time."
Qin Shen's furrowed brows and eyes stretched out, showing a bright smile. There are many things that the old man can't think of. They have been going around for hundreds of years instead of 20 years. The general and the prince standing side by side under the tree began to entangle.
Light footsteps walked around the bar and came out. Diudiu walked around the lobby and found his father. He walked over there with freshly made rice cakes. The rice cakes in his hands were rolled into small balls. , topped with syrup and soybean flour, the taste is sticky and sweet, just the right time for deliciousness.
"Dad, I made rice cakes with my own hands."
Qin Shen took the rice cake from his hand, picked up the little guy and sat down beside him, and introduced the two people opposite him, "Dudiu, call grandpa and grandma."
Although Zhang Yuanhuai and his wife raised Zhang Tenghai as their youngest son, they are Zhang Tenghai's ancestors. If Diudiu calls him grandpa and grandma again, his seniority will be messed up. It is reasonable to call him Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Zeng, but there are some entanglements inside. For the matter, the "Zeng" couldn't be called out again, so Qin Shen could only let the child yell like this.
Diudiu called obediently: "Grandpa, grandma."
