Mantra

Chapter 47

Just when I was thinking wildly, Na Leiren suddenly stretched out the wine cup, and lightly touched me on the table.

I immediately understood that what he asked me to do was to pour him wine.

In fact, I am not happy.

Isn't this old thing enough to command people?Or is it that I disgraced him just now, and he wants to get it back now.

However, right now I am listening vigorously, and I really don't want to argue with him, so I still keep a smile on my face, and sell him the face of an older generation with 120 points of respect.

After refilling his drink, the contented Lei Ren then told us the funeral.

Lei Ren said that his father also wanted to worship Zhao Qingshan as a teacher later, but Zhao Qingshan said that he never accepted people with other surnames as his disciples, so he did not accept Lei Aniu.

But later, Zhao Qingshan was still very righteous, he wrote a letter to Lei A Niu, introducing him to work in Jinan Guangzhou Guild Hall. A lot of grievances and grievances in the circle of cooks in Shandong during the Republic of China.

When Lei Ren said this, he suddenly became filled with emotion.

He told us that in his father Lei Aniu's life, the person he admired the most was the "Chef Zhao" who came out of the Zhaojialou in Shirengu, Lunan. Given kitchen knife.Standing up against gods and ghosts and fighting against warlords, even the Japanese are afraid of him three points. He can be called a figure full of legends in his life.

When talking about the Japanese, Lei Ren also told us in particular that the Japanese did not know the heights of the sky and the earth, and set up a "Pi Ling Cuisine Array" in Jinan to openly challenge the entire Wu Zang Temple. That was a great anecdote in the circle of chefs in the Republic of China.

That incident, thanks to Zhao Qingshan’s imperial bestowed sword, forced the Japanese out of Shandong’s catering industry. It’s a shame that the Japanese chef who was fighting vegetables cut his stomach and committed suicide. It won back the face for the Chinese, and left a good story about "Japanese soldiers entered Shandong, and Japanese food could not stay in Jinan".

I know that the last thing Lei Ren said was about fighting with the so-called "Pi Ling Dou Cai".

To be honest, what I am most interested in is the so-called Doucai. According to Lei Ren, it seems that Zhao Qingshan smashed the Japanese with a kitchen knife because of this incident, and even got out of it. Some very remarkable names.

But before I could ask, Xian Hongye next to me suddenly poked me with her elbow.

I regained my senses for a moment and hurriedly turned to look at her.

Hongye inadvertently stretched out her hand, showing me the watch she was wearing.

I go!It's past three o'clock!
Hongye's move is a reminder that we have wasted too much time at the high-speed service station, and the car is broken down now. If we don't hurry up to find a car, we may delay our trip.

After all, it's impossible for us to spend a whole day at the service station. If we don't get rid of the free food Gu poison on our bodies for a day, we won't be able to live in peace for a day.

So, I helplessly interrupted the old man's talk after drinking.

I told him, thank you for the hospitality of the old man, but we have urgent matters, so we should leave immediately, and the car broke down, so we have to find a new car.

In short, we can't continue to chat with you, so let's say goodbye, call each other, and go north and south.

What I said somewhat surprised Lei Ren, who was still full of ideas, but what he said afterwards surprised me even more.

As soon as the old man Lei heard that we were leaving, he immediately suggested cheerfully: "Young boy! I think it's getting late, everyone should not leave, stay with me and have a good rest, and let Wangcai personally send you to Shandong tomorrow. Nan, how about I also visit the benefactor who saved my father?"

Lei Ren's words not only surprised me, but also made sense at the same time.

He even moved out his own father, and he kindly helped me, so I have absolutely no reason to refuse!

But what he said made me feel awkward again.

I feel that this old thing has changed too quickly and completely.

Just now he was still a black shop smiling tiger with insinuations on his face.But now he has become a living Maitreya who treats guests and sees him off. Such a dramatic change... would make people mutter in their hearts.

Because of this, I watched that white-bearded Leiren's every move, and I couldn't figure out the real thoughts between his words, so I couldn't make up my mind for a while.

But at this juncture of hesitation, Xian Hongye reached out and poked me again, and at the same time "reminded" me: "Old Tian, ​​don't you have to go to Texas to see friends for a few days? I'm afraid the old man can't wait?"

Xian Hongye blinked her eyelashes at me in a casual tone, and I immediately understood what she meant.

Hongye probably saw the trickiness hidden in Lei Ren's sudden enthusiasm.

After Hongye's reminder, I understood that I would never talk nonsense with that "surprise" again. After a little bit of treasure, we deposited Wang Hou's car with them, then turned and left in a hurry, and went to Texas to "meet friends." "went.

When we got off the service station, Lei Ren's nephew Wangcai was still trying to persuade us to change our minds, but after seeing that we didn't mean it at all, he put down a "meaningful" sentence and said: "...No Help me, my uncle, let me see how you can get to Shirengu."

He obviously had something to say, but I was in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to think about it. As soon as we got out of the service station, we hurriedly intercepted a taxi and headed for downtown DZ first.

As soon as I got in the car, I immediately asked Hongye what did she see?Why reject Lei Ren's kindness and insist on finding a car to go to Lunan by himself.

Hongye smiled at me, and then told me something that gave me goosebumps all over my body.

She said, "Didn't you see that? That old guy Lei Ren has his eyes on you!"

Why do I feel awkward listening to this!

Amidst the awkwardness, I put on an expression that I didn't know how to describe, and said meaningfully: "This Lei Ren is quite old... how about this?"

What I said made Hongye laugh out loud.From her wicked smile, I suddenly realized that I was wrong...

"That's not what it means!" Hong Ye waved her hand and said, "It's not you who he likes, but your identity!"

"My identity?" said stunned, "I'm just a small cook. There are not many people, and there are not many people, so what is my identity at all. How can I make the abbot of Wuling Temple look up to me?"

Hongye's words made me feel curious, but her reasoning and explanation next surprised us all even more.

Hongye told me that what Leiren was looking for was my birth from the Confucius Temple and my identity passed down by the Zhao family.The reason why he entertained you and told you so many stories is to prepare for his final request.

"What does he ask for?" I didn't realize it for a while, so I asked for granted.

"Let you take him to Zhao's House!" Hong Ye smiled slightly when she said this.It seems that she also admires the "scheming" of this old thing.

Xian Hongye's analytical ability is very strong, before he waited for me to ask a question, he told me that since Lei Ren appeared, she felt abnormal.

Hongye hypothesized that, according to the craftsmanship of Na Leiren and his disciples, how could this old thing be nestled in a small service station restaurant?What kind of disability does the leg pretend to be?If they really have such a life-and-death friendship with the Zhao family ancestors, why use your "identity" to go to Zhao's house?
Hongye's words enlightened me.

Yes!This Lei Ren is in Shandong, so it only takes four or five hours to drive to Zhaojialou by himself, right?Why do we have to let Lei Wangcai take us there?Especially Lei Wangcai's sentence "Without my uncle, let's see how you get there..." is even more intriguing.

That's a blatant threat!

Hong Ye looked at my uncertain expression, and told me at the right time: "Actually, there is only one explanation...Lei Ren has been to Zhao's House very early, but the Zhao family didn't see him for some reason. After he met you, he knew It is only because of your itinerary that I want to use your identity as a 'stepping stone'."

"...Let me knock on the door of Zhao's house for him? But..." I suddenly said.

In this way, Lei Ren has no good intentions!And he is not only uneasy and kind, but also calculating us all the time.If my teeth had softened at the beginning, I might have been fooled by them.

In the aftermath of my fear, I felt very strange again, so I half-asked and said: "But what can he do when we arrive at Zhaojialou with us? He has gone through all kinds of troubles, what is the purpose..."

yes!I can't figure it out.

If it's what Hongye thinks, if the Zhao family doesn't see Lei Ren, I can understand.It must be that Lei Ren is not a good thing, and the owner of the black shop is also likely to go to the service station opened on the expressway because he can't get along in Wuzang Temple.

Such an old poison with all five poisons, it is normal for the Zhao family not to see him.

But the key problem is that he still has to find a way to go when he doesn't see you anymore. The purpose of this is intriguing.

When I thought of this, I asked myself and answered, "Unless... he is planning on Zhao Jialou. Right?"

I suddenly raised my head and looked at Xian Hongye beside me.

Hongye also nodded, and told me: "I don't know his specific purpose...but he is indeed very interested in something from the Zhao family!"

"What?" I asked impatiently.

"Chopper!" Hong Ye reminded me, "When he was talking about Lei A Niu just now, I paid attention to his expression, every time he mentioned that Zhao Qingshan's imperial kitchen knife, the whole person was bloody Same, although it is only for a moment, but the excitement that has been hidden in my heart for a long time is not easy to hide..."

Xian Hongye's words let me see clearly the real face of the abbot of the black shop like peeling off the cocoon.It made me even more curious about the past of Zhaojialou from the bottom of my heart.

What kind of story does my old squad leader's ancestor have?Why is Lei Ren interested in a legendary kitchen knife?I can't wait to know everything.

So, in such a disturbed mood, I hurriedly wanted to tell the taxi master to turn the car around, give up the "feign attack" to Dezhou, and drive directly to Shirengu, Lunan.

I didn't think too much about it, so I shouted eagerly: "Master driver, let's not go to Dezhou! Go to Lunan Shirengu!"

But when the driver master heard what I said, his face suddenly darkened.

After he pulled the car aside slowly, he smiled at us and said, "I'm sorry! I don't go to that kind of place. You can find another car."

What the driver said made all of us wide-eyed.

This stone man...why didn't he go?
