Zhou Lingshi was the cook for Cao Yusheng, Cao Mian, Di Lan, and Yang Tuo's first dinner at the Su family's ancestral home.
Don't look at Zhou Lingshi who was hungry and full in the Himalayas at the end, in fact, there is work on hand in the kitchen.
He was able to pay homage to the Wu family back then because his own father was the cook of the Wu family in southern Yunnan and the descendant of the Xiaohe gang of Sichuan cuisine.
Zhou Lingshi first entered Wu's house as a kitchen helper. Because of his good character and good talent for self-cultivation, Wu Tiannan took a fancy to him.
Although he later became a hunter, the cooking skills passed down from his family are boy skills, and he will never forget them in his life. It is not a big deal to have a whole table of good dishes with all kinds of colors, flavors and tastes.
Cooking the last dish in the kitchen while listening to the movement outside, Zhou Lingshi had a solid idea in his heart.
The people at the table outside didn't talk much.
This is a good thing for the cook, which shows that the cook is good at craftsmanship, and everyone only cares about eating.
The dish being cooked in the pot is called Niufo Roasted Elbow, which is one of the Xiaohe gang's housekeeping dishes.
Take a good elbow, no less than two and a half catties, and shape it into a crown. It is prepared with more than ten kinds of spices and medicinal materials, cooking wine, rock sugar, refined salt, soy sauce, sweet sauce and other condiments, and baked in an iron pan.
This dish takes a long time, and it takes more than two hours to bake for more than two hours. It is almost ready to be cooked at this moment.
Zhou Lingshi knew that his master Xiu Li loved eating without meat, so he specially made this dish for Lin Shuo.
When the dish is cooked, put it on a plate and serve it.
Before Zhou Lingshi had been busy in the kitchen, Zhang Jin was responsible for passing the dishes, and the roasted elbow with Niu Buddha was the last dish tonight, and Zhou Lingshi brought it out by himself.
Looking outside, Zhou Lingshi was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.
A table full of dishes was barely touched.
On the contrary, it was the wine jars stacked on the side of the table, three of which had lost their mud seals, and were drunk upside down by this group of people.
This is rice wine, although the alcohol content is not very high, it can't hold up to a large quantity, a jar of ten catties.
Zhou Lingshi counted the heads, and there were only seven people eating at the table, the master, the future mistress, Zhang Jin, Cao's father and son, Academician Yang, and the beautiful princess who competed with the mistress.
Seven people, 30 catties of wine, no wonder they can't eat, they are full.
Bringing the roasted elbow of Niu Buddha in front of Lin Shuo and putting it down on the table, Zhou Lingshi said, "Master, this is my disciple's honor to you."
When he said this, Zhou Lingshi looked at the master, and as soon as he finished speaking, he knew that with the current state of the master, he might not be able to listen to it.
Some people blush when they drink alcohol, while others don't, their faces turn blue instead of red.
Lin Shuo was like this, his face was blue at the moment, only the circles of his eyes were red, his eyes couldn't go away, his body was swaying, and he was already drunk.
Zhou Lingshi quickly put his hands on Lin Shuo's body, and said, "Master, why don't you go and rest for a while?"
"Okay." Lin Shuo answered vaguely. Zhou Lingshi only felt the weight in his hand, and Lin Shuo had already collapsed.
Zhou Lingshi bowed slightly, carried Lin Shuo on his back, and then apologized to everyone at the table, and walked out of the three-bedroom lobby with his master on his back.
The lobby of the third bedroom of the Su family is only three alleys away from Lin Shuo's current residence.
When turning into the third alley, Zhou Lingshi smiled.
When the master just lay on his back just now, his whole body was limp, as if he had drunk too much.
But at this moment, the master stopped pretending, and the strength of his body returned, and the feeling of carrying it was different.
Just as Zhou Lingshi was about to ask something, he received a light blow on the back of the head.
It was only then that Zhou Lingshi remembered that he really couldn't ask, only two alleys separated him, and his wife could hear her.
…
In the third bedroom lobby of Su University, the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little more relaxed after Lin Shuo left.
The people at the table actually had their own thoughts, and the focus was on Lin Shuo.
Cao's father and son thought about how to arrange Di Lan to be with Lin Shuo.
Compared with Cao Mian, who was so single-minded in making this happen, Cao Yusheng felt somewhat guilty.
Because the current relationship between Lin Shuo and Anne is inseparable from his uncle. When they were in the Himalayas, he made many matches.
He has sincere appreciation for Anne.
At this moment, to match Lin Shuo and Di Lan again would be to slap himself in the face. Cao Yusheng felt sorry for Anne, a good boy.
In fact, Cao Yusheng had given up hope for the Cao family's nine-inch threshold, and wanted to help Lin Shuo with all his heart and help him secure the position of leader.
Later, he changed his mind and needed Di Lan to be the guardian to protect the nine-inch threshold for the Cao family because of two reasons.
The first is what Lin Shuo meant. The nephew and uncle talked several times, and Lin Shuo made it clear that he hoped that the Cao family could keep the nine-inch threshold.
Cao Yusheng thought about Lin Shuo's judgment later and found it to be correct.
Lin Shuo himself is not only capable, but also clear-headed. His current disadvantage as the leader is that he is alone and alone.
Therefore, Cao Yusheng's significance as an ally is greater than that of an aide.
The second reason is that his son Cao Mian suddenly changed his temper and became more angry.
Now that the son has this intention, the nine-inch threshold must be kept.
If you agree to Di Lan's role as a guardian, then Di Lan's request must be fulfilled. This is a deal.
It's just that after this deal is done, if my old face is on Anne's side, it's worthless.
With this difficult hurdle in his heart, the always eloquent mastermind of Liemen froze when he got the words out of his mouth, and he ate the meal quietly.
Cao Yusheng didn't talk much, so Cao Mian naturally stopped talking.
The young man was clever, and he knew that it was useless to speak up on this matter, because he had no friendship with Lin Shuo, so he had to ask his old man to speak up.
The old man only cares about drinking, so he will drink too. Anyway, there is still a month to come, and the days to come will be long.
Cao's father and son didn't speak, and Yang Tuo didn't speak either.
Academician Yang is very confident that he can keep up with him mentally at this table, but there are only two people, and the others are sticks.
One is Lin Shuo, who has left now. In Lanzhou before, Yang Tuo drank with Lin Shuo and was drunk three times. He knew Lin Shuo's drinking capacity very well.
So he knew that Lin Shuo was pretending to be drunk.
Another one is Cao Yusheng.
After getting in touch with him on the plane, Yang Tuo knew in his heart that this hunter not only had a clear mind, but also had a vicious eye and was good at observing words and demeanor.
And observing words and demeanor is precisely Yang Tuo's own weakness.
Yang Tuo's visit this time seems to have the same goal as the Cao family's father and son, to match Lin Shuo and Di Lan.
This was indeed the case at the beginning, but as the situation changed, Yang Tuo's purpose now ran counter to the Cao family's father and son. He wanted to kill Di Lan at the peer alliance ceremony.
Di Lan is the guardian of the Cao family. She died in battle at the alliance ceremony, which harmed the interests of the Cao family.
Therefore, in front of this mastermind, Yang Tuo needs to be cautious in his words and deeds, not to expose his true intentions.
The men at the dinner table, except for Zhang Jin, all had their own thoughts.
As for the two women, what they thought in their hearts was relatively simple.
As soon as Lin Shuo left, Di Lan's soul returned.
After all, she is a princess of a country, and she has experienced many scenes. Now that her soul has returned, her mind has become more active.
She raised her wine glass and looked at Anne: "I must toast the host for such a sumptuous dinner. Miss Anne, please."
"Princess, you are welcome." Anne took a glass with a calm expression.
Then Anne raised her glass and said, "It's my honor for the princess to step on the humble ground, and I respect you."
"Miss Anne, please don't say that. I am a princess abroad. When I return to China, I am an ordinary Chinese." Di Lan took a glass and raised it again, "Miss Anne will guard the nine-inch threshold of the Su family this time. , I wish you immediate success."
"The princess will guard the nine-inch threshold for the Cao family, and I also wish you success."
"In case we meet at that time, please be merciful, Miss Anne, I respect you."
"Where is it, how can I be the princess's opponent, please ask the princess to save some face for our Su family, I respect you."
…
The two talked to each other, the smiles on their faces were like a spring breeze, and the words in their mouths were also extremely humble, and they were very comfortable to listen to.
But at the same time, the wine glass in his hand was empty and full for a while, and Zhang Jin, who was in charge of pouring wine for the two, was almost overwhelmed.
Cao Mian gasped when he saw it, hey, this is a fight.
He turned slightly to Yang Tuo who was sitting beside him, and said softly, "Brother Yang, who do you think will fall first?"
"Dy Lan." Yang Tuo said softly, "Don't look at Anne, she is usually soft-tempered. She is too hard on the wine table. I have drank with her three times before. Lin Shuo, Wei Xingshan and I, three big men can't drink it. She alone."
"Brother Yang, then you have miscalculated. I think Sister Su will fall first." Cao Mian said, "My sister is at the wine table, she is not human at all. There was a banquet in Saudi Arabia, and she drank the forty-seven princes." , four of whom were alcoholics."
"so smart?"
"That is."
"How much have they had?"
"Everyone has an altar."
"If you don't persuade me, I can't drink like this."
"Who can stop this, Brother Yang, don't worry, these two are not ordinary people."
"Who cares about the two of them? They are so cheap that they are not us when they are drunk." Yang Tuo said lightly, "I mainly think that there is not enough wine."
"..."
The wine fight between Anne and Dylan did not come to a conclusion.
After the two drank a jar of rice wine, Zhou Lingshi had settled Lin Shuo back, and just stepped into the main entrance of the lobby.
At this moment, Anne received a text message on her mobile phone in her pocket.
She took out her mobile phone and looked at it, her expression immediately became serious, and she said, "Princess, let's not drink for now, I have to deal with business."
Although she looked at Cao Yusheng again and said, "Uncle, let me take a step to speak."
Then she turned her head and said to Zhou Lingshi, "Call Master back."
"Master, what's the matter?" Zhou Lingshi asked.
Zhou Lingshi yelled the title out of nowhere, and as soon as the job landed, the expressions of the people in the room were different.
Anne's originally tense expression eased a little, and then said: "Something went wrong."
