Old Master Lian was standing by the window, and he could see outside the gate from his position.
A group of people walked out of the gate, the weather was very cold, they quickly got into the car, but the car did not drive away, it still stayed on the snow at the gate, the roof of the car was already covered with snow, like white bunkers, dark or shallow. ambush in the snow.
"Look." Mr. Lian sat in a wheelchair, looked at them through the bright window, and said with a smile, "Do they look like parents of students during the college entrance examination, waiting for their children's grades at the gate?"
Then he turned his head and smiled at the people behind him: "Okay, the outsiders are gone, let's have dinner."
The family dinner has begun.
There were only a few people sitting in front of the long dining table. Everyone, look at me, and I look at you. In the end, Ning Ning asked first: "What do you want to eat? I'll go to the kitchen and make it."
"Don't be so troublesome." Master Lian looked at the gate, "Look, here we come."
An elderly cook walked in from the door with a bowl of seafood soup in his hand. His feet seemed to be a little sloping. When walking, his shoulders went up and down. When he walked to the table, he had only half of the soup left in his hand Well, the other half is all over the road.
When passing by Lian Yuanyuan, he suddenly shook his hand.
"Ah!" Lian Yuanyuan shouted and jumped up from her seat, but she still couldn't avoid it. She was splashed by the seafood soup on her skirt. She tore a shrimp off her skirt and shouted with disgust, " Dad, why do you keep him? His hands are shaking like Parkinson's, you should let him retire early!"
The old cook dared not speak.
"Don't say that, he's just getting old." Master Lian looked at Ningning, "Lianlian, go and help him."
"Okay." Ning Ning hurriedly got up and walked over.
After simply cleaning up the table, the two walked towards the kitchen together. The journey was very deserted. Even the old man not only chased away the outsiders, but also temporarily dismissed the maids who were working at home to help the cook. understood as clearing the field.
After the show was cleared, it was the actors' turn to perform on stage.
In the kitchen, the old cook suddenly threw the soup basin into the sink, and the water in the sink splashed out. Ning Ning stopped and looked at his back.
With his back to Ning Ning, he placed five identical small bowls on the table, then scooped up a spoonful of seafood soup, pouring it into it in a straight line from left to right.
When the five small bowls were filled with seafood soup, he suddenly put his hand into his pocket, took out a small bottle, opened the bottle cap with his thumb, and poured the powdery substance inside into one of the bowls of soup.
After pouring, he turned his head suddenly and said to Ningning, "You didn't see anything."
Ning Ning saw everything, so he asked him, "What did you put in the soup?"
The old cook didn't answer her question, but instead asked her: "Guess how my leg is lame."
Ning Ning shook his head.
"It was to protect a little girl who was crushed by a car," the old cook said. "Now that little girl has grown up, she hates me, says I have Parkinson's disease, and asks her father why she still keeps me and asks him to drive me away. Walk."
Ning Ning was stunned.
"I'll be leaving this house soon." The old cook smiled. "Before I leave, I'll teach her a lesson."
Even the old man's humanity test has begun.
The old cook is acting at the level of extras.
But even if the other party was an extra, Ning Ning did her best to cooperate with him. She stood at the door and didn't dare to go there. She pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Are you joking? Poisoning? Just because of such a spat or two. ?"
"For my legs." The old cook pointed to his sloping legs and said coldly.
The smile faded a little from Ning Ning's face, and she looked at him with some unease: "What do you care about with an ungrateful person? This kind of person is just like a fart. If you let her go earlier, you can live a few more years in physical and mental health. …”
The old cook was stunned: "You son of a bitch doesn't pay attention to what you say..."
"Hey, it's not like you don't know me, a bad guy who grew up in the market, what do you pay attention to?" Ning Ning spread her hands carelessly, looking like a broken jar. Before, she was in front of the old cook with a famous lady. The shelf has now been completely reduced to a commoner in the market, but this appearance makes the old cook feel kind.
Because the old cook himself is also a low-class person, even if he saved Lian Yuanyuan's life because he sacrificed a leg, and then was appointed by the old master Lian as the family chef, he still failed to become a high-class person.
Even though he was well-dressed and neatly dressed, and his words were eloquent, he no longer had the accent of his hometown, didn't Lian Yuanyuan still take his sacrifice as a matter of course, and even thought that he had found an iron job because of it, and that he had made a fortune? This kind of thing doesn't happen between people of equal status. Lian Yuanyuan said that when she was aloof and made him a human being.
After sighing, he looked at Ning Ning strangely: "What are you doing?"
Just when he was dumbfounded, Ning Ning had already passed him to the stove, picked up a lot of bottles and jars, and came back. The old cook saw salt, chili sauce, monosodium glutamate... She scooped a bottle into each bottle. spoon and pour it into a bowl of seafood soup.
"Isn't it too cheap to let her die." Ningning handed him the stirred soup, "Take it, I promise she will spit it out of her nose, how about it? Don't you want to see that picture? I think I can laugh at her for twenty years about it."
The old cook stared at her for a while before asking, "She is your competitor, why are you helping her?"
"I didn't help her, I just wanted to laugh at her." Ningning snorted, looking reluctant to admit it, "and if you kill someone, who will cook? I'm hungry and want to eat chicken stew. Mushrooms, can you make them for me?"
A few minutes later, the two returned to the banquet in tandem.
When entering the door, the old cook gave Mr. Lian a wink, and calmly placed the bowl of soup in front of Lian Yuanyuan.
- This bowl is very rich in ingredients, including chili sauce, monosodium glutamate, salt and so on.
Before Lian Yuanyuan could try the taste of this bowl of dark dishes, the old man Lian said, "I almost forgot, the doctor said that I can't eat seafood recently. Yuanyuan, go to the kitchen with Lao Chen and bring me a bottle of medicinal wine. "
"Oh." Lian Yuanyuan got up reluctantly.
When she came back, she brought back not only a bottle of medicinal wine, but also a bottle of liquor. Seeing the bottle of liquor, the eldest son's eyes lit up, he took it for her, opened the lid and said to Mr. Lian, "Dad, I'll give you a toast and wish you a speedy recovery."
Old Master Lian removed the cup in his hand and smiled at him: "If you want me to get better soon, drink less of my wine and ask other people if they want to drink it."
Where could Lian Yuanyuan be willing to drink his bottle of added liquor, and immediately made a gesture of refusal: "I quit drinking, just drink soup."
She took a sip of the soup, and the soup spewed out of her nostrils.
"Cough, cough, cough... What's in this?" Lian Yuanyuan said with tears streaming down her face.
Everyone looked at her with disgust, the eldest son and his son pushed the seafood soup away from him almost immediately, and even the old man sighed, looked at the tablecloth that was contaminated by her, and said, "Fortunately, the dishes haven't arrived yet, Chengxin, go. The kitchen urges the dishes, and by the way, asks Lao Chen to come and change the tablecloth."
"Okay." The eldest son put down the liquor in his hand and said to the son beside him, "Let's go, let's go together."
Ning Ning noticed that Old Master Lian's brows jumped slightly. It seems that he did not expect the father and son to act together, but his brows were quickly smoothed, because the two father and son had already returned with dishes, the older one Holding the chicken stewed with mushrooms, the small one holds a new tablecloth.
After changing the tablecloth, the old cook also came over with dishes.
The eldest son put the chicken stewed mushroom in front of Ning Ning first.
Ning Ning looked down at the steaming dishes in front of her.
For some purpose, they ate at a long table.
There is no turntable on it. If the two dishes are far apart, you have to stand up and fold them if you want to eat them. This is a bit unsightly, so most people will only eat the dishes in front of them.
For example, seasoned seafood soup, seasoned white wine, and seasoned chicken stew with mushrooms.
Title: "Poison"
Actors: Ning Ning, Lian Laozi, Lian's father and son, Lian Yuanyuan.
a.
A group of people looked at the old man, and after the old man moved his chopsticks, everyone started to eat.
Ning Ning was the first to pick up a piece of mushroom and put it in his mouth.
While biting the mushroom, she glanced at the Lian family father and son. The eldest son has a deep palace. After he put the chicken stew and mushrooms in front of Ning Ning, he never looked at her again. He kept joking with the old man, but the younger son didn't have the palace like him, and his eyes were almost glued to Ning Ning. Ning seemed to be waiting for her to make a fool of himself.
Before Ning Ning made a fool of himself, a woman's scream rang out.
"Don't drink!!"
The eldest son was taken aback and turned to look at Lian Yuanyuan: "What are you doing?"
Lian Yuanyuan was still holding the wine glass she snatched from him, and looked at him with complicated eyes: "You can't drink it, the wine is poisonous."
The eldest son hesitated: "What did you say?"
"I'm sorry, brother." She suddenly covered her mouth and cried, "Although you are self-righteous and always treat me like a fool, I still can't bear to see you die... Who calls you my brother, brother!"
Eldest son:"… "
Ning Ning watched her perform, her acting was so exaggerated that even the old man couldn't stand it anymore, he coughed, "Enough."
Lian Yuanyuan: "Dad..."
Even the old man: "You've been crying for fifteen minutes, and you still haven't cried a single tear. You're blinded by the lines prepared by your think tank."
Lian Yuanyuan: "… "
"Dad." The eldest son could see that something was wrong at this time, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
"It's just a small test." Even the old man smiled indifferently, "I asked Lao Chen to prepare a poisoned item for each of you, and then let you bring it to the table and your own. In front of a relative, see if you will watch the other person eat it, or stop it."
The eldest son's face suddenly became very ugly, while Lian Yuanyuan smiled happily.
"It's all a bunch of unscrupulous people, especially you." Lian Yuanyuan glared at Ning Ning, "I have a little bit of animosity with my eldest brother, you? I didn't say a word, in order to share more property, you just Want to watch me die?"
The old cook came close to Old Master Lian's ear and whispered a few words to him.
Even the old man sighed: "Go out."
"Did you hear that?" Lian Yuanyuan said to Ning Ning with a victorious attitude, "Tell you to go out!"
"No." Master Lian looked at her, "You go out."
Lian Yuanyuan looked at him in astonishment: "Dad!"
"And you." Even the old man gave her a stingy look, and said to the eldest son, "Go out too."
Although the eldest son was unwilling, he did not lose his demeanor like Lian Yuanyuan. He got up and left, and by the way, he pulled away the hysterical Lian Yuanyuan.
"Let go of me, let me go!" Lian Yuanyuan struggled all the way.
"Okay, you've already lost," said the eldest son.
"Nonsense!" Lian Yuanyuan looked at him angrily, "How could I lose? Only me, only I stop you from taking poison, you two didn't stop it!"
"Don't you understand yet?" the eldest son said coldly, "Who do you think is an outsider in this family?"
Before Lian Yuanyuan could give an answer, he had already said it himself: "It's us."
He looked at the closed door with complicated eyes. They were driven out, but the old cook was still inside.
"The cook knows this, and Lawyer Huang knows it too. Maybe there are other people who know. Who are those people? They are all outsiders." The eldest son murmured, "The old man would rather trust them than follow They discussed plans to embarrass us, who are the outsiders?"
Lian Yuanyuan was stunned when she heard the words, and followed his gaze and looked towards the door.
The closed door was like even the old man's closed heart. Outsiders could enter, but their "own people" couldn't.
"...So we both lost to that illegitimate daughter." The eldest son gritted his teeth, "When we were courting the old man, she went to court the cook."
"Yes, but that's just a cook..." Lian Yuanyuan hesitated.
"But the old man believed what he said." The eldest son smiled helplessly. "Compared to us sons and daughters, he would rather trust the words of cooks, lawyers, and family doctors, so what's the use of pleasing him? It's better to please those 'outsiders'... I didn't expect that the illegitimate daughter discovered this first, didn't you see that the cook just finished whispering to the old man, and he kicked us out?"
Lian Yuanyuan was stunned for a while, and then said with a twisted expression, "No! I haven't lost yet!"
She looked coldly at the door in front of her and thought to herself: Anyway, she's going to die soon, I haven't lost yet!
