Knowing that she could no longer hide, Chu Lian stretched her waist. The moment she raised her head, under the sunlight, she looked so charming, and the girls couldn't help but pause briefly when they saw her.

Holding Mo Qi's little hand, Chu Lian jumped off the cherry branch, walked gracefully to the group of girls, and said with a slight smile, "Hello at noon, everyone."

When Kurosaki Satsuki, who was leaning against the wall alone, saw Chu Lian, her stiff body couldn't help but relax.She really wasn't used to being with so many strangers, especially since they were all pure-minded girls, which made it difficult for her to maintain her cold expression.

Walking behind Chu Lian, her eyes lingered between her and Mu Qi's clasped hands for a while, and then she looked away.This kind of bondage was something she had never felt before. She was a little envious, a little looking forward to it, but mostly she was avoiding it.

"What a strange girl, interesting and interesting..." Noticing Kurosaki Satsuki's tiny actions, Chu Lian took it to heart and thought silently.

"Why did you come out so late? What happened?" Cai Ya tried her best not to pay attention to the hands they were holding together, walked over to her, and pulled her away regardless of shyness or anything. a hand, asked.

"Some things I don't know too well, but there shouldn't be any serious problems, so don't worry. By the way, are you hungry, do you need to eat?" Chu Lian didn't want too many people to know about this matter , so I changed the subject just by mentioning it.

Cai Ya also understood that now is not the time to ask more questions, so she didn't ask any more, but continued her words: "Although I ate a lot in the morning, I just soaked in the hot spring for too long and I'm a little hungry. What to eat, I'll wait for you."

"Chuchu, Xiu'er, are you two too?" Hearing Cai Ya's words, Chu Lian knew that her opinion was the opinion of their group, so she nodded to show that she understood, then turned to ask the surprisingly quiet Chu Chu and Li Xiuer.

"Ah, my lord sister, Xiu'er and I are a little hungry too." Hearing Chu Lian asking herself suddenly, Chu Chu was a little startled when she was in a daze, and then answered with vigor.

"Xiu'er, is that what you mean?" After staring at her for a while, Chu Lian turned to ask Li Xiu'er. After all, Chu Chu makes mistakes sometimes. This shy girl is extremely careful, and the chance of making mistakes is not high. big.

"Yes, because what we ate in the morning is not suitable for our taste, we have been thinking about what to eat for lunch." Li Xiuer's eyes flickered, and then she answered Chu Lian's words.

Knowing that these two girls had something to hide from her, but as a qualified older sister, she also knew that she shouldn't ask in this situation, so she didn't pursue it any further, but turned around and asked Kurosaki Satsuki in Japanese: " What about you? You just recovered from a serious injury, so you can't do without food."

The white-haired girl who kept silent when Chu Lian and the others were talking finally understood what they were talking about. After hesitating for a while, she still said: "Ordinary food is enough. I've learned not to be critical."

This is easy to say, but the bitterness in it is inlaid in every word, making people sigh when they hear it, what kind of life is it that makes this girl who has been well-clothed since she was a child become what she is today? ?

"It's really a group of people who don't care..." She didn't say anything about Cai Ya's thoughts, and Chu Lian could understand it a little bit. In addition, Chu Chu and Li Xiu'er, who deliberately kept it from her, and this white-haired troubled girl, There are really few people in this group that she can rest assured.

Perhaps Liu Yanran, Lacus Lyle, and Liulizi Nana, who have a good family background, have sufficient personal cultivation, and are not very close to her, don't need her to worry so much.

This is probably the so-called "people who don't care don't pay attention".

"It seems that everyone doesn't like the Japanese food in the morning. Let's go to the Chinese restaurant for lunch. There is an authentic Cantonese restaurant on the seventh floor of this hotel. The light and nourishing Cantonese food is very suitable for us to eat now. "After thinking for a while, Chu Lian made a decision.

"Cantonese cuisine?" Qi Qi, who has always heard about the various delicacies of China's nine major cuisines①, asked with some expectation.

"Yes, it is said that the boss was originally a master of Cantonese cuisine, but he failed in an industry competition and lost all his belongings. He accepted the invitation of the Zhao family to make a living, and came to this Japanese style hotel to open an authentic restaurant. Cantonese cuisine restaurant. Although he is a loser, I have to say that in terms of Cantonese cuisine, he is indeed one of the most outstanding Cantonese cuisine masters in China today."

Among the information provided by Zhao Ziming, the description of him is the most detailed, almost just her, "If you want to eat delicious food, go to him", now that everyone is hungry, let's choose the best one.

Now that the decision has been made, everyone will stop delaying, pack up their things and head towards the main building...

PS: There are eight major cuisines in China, but there are nine major cuisines in China, which will be introduced later.

Chapter 170 Three: The Story

The central area of ​​the seventh floor of "Hefeng Hotel" is a three-story ancient Chinese restaurant-style building with a height of ten meters. It is divided into three small floors in the huge space. Table benches.

On the other two floors, there is no large area in the middle, only the surrounding corridors and private rooms, where there are long tables and wooden chairs for people to rest and eat.

I don't know what the people who designed this floor thought, but they would actually reproduce the hotel style in the ancient costume TV series in Huaxia here, and because of the abundant funds, it made it look antique and beautiful.

But there is no doubt that this place has become one of the most famous places of "Hefeng Hotel", and its hot springs, gardens and beauties are collectively called "Four Wonderful Hefeng".I have to say that this creative design has indeed received unexpected praise and praise.

After all, China is now strong and prosperous, and it has never really been separated from China's neon. At this time, more than 90% of the people have a kind of admiration for China.It is no wonder that they are not happy to see such a Chinese-style building in their own country.

Although because of the price, most of the people who can come here to live here are from rich families or people with spare money.Few other people would come here to have a meal, but everyone who came left with a satisfied expression.

Thinking about it, the cooking skills of the Cantonese cuisine master made all the guests satisfied.It's no wonder that the Zhao family tried their best to win over this master of Cantonese cuisine, even arranging him to be a half-boss here, so as to promote the reputation of this hotel.All because their craftsmanship is really very powerful.

All the girls sat in a private room, listening to Chu Lian slowly introduce some information about this classical tavern, all of them could not help showing curious expressions on their faces.

Liu Yanran, who had been acting very silent all this time, was the first to ask at this moment: "Chu Lian, tell me, if this master's culinary skills are really so superb, then what kind of opponent would make him in this industry?" You failed so thoroughly in the middle, and even sold yourself to the Zhao family in disguise?"

Although this young girl's family is far away from the profession of chef, as a person who has a tireless pursuit of food, she also showed her curiosity about it.After all, there are very few people like this in China, even in the world who can make him fail like this.

"I don't know about this question. The information Zhao Ziming gave me is also vague about this item, and it can be fooled in a few words. I think there must be secrets and stories that we don't know about." Chu Lian brushed her hair in front of her ears, frowning her brows, and said with some uncertainty.

"But this is someone else's private matter. It's not good for us to discuss it here. It would be a bit too much to get to the bottom of it." Li Xiu'er blinked and glanced at the girl sitting, and said slowly.

"This little girl is nice, she knows how to understand this old man..." Just as they were about to end this topic, a vigorous voice came from outside the screen, and then an old man with silver hair came in with a slight smile.

Seeing him, Chu Lian was startled: "Mr. Gan, why are you here?" Gan Yixue, a slightly feminine name, was the old man's name.He is also the head chef of this Cantonese restaurant and the hidden owner of "He Feng Hotel".

The reason why she knew his name was because there happened to be his personal information in the information Zhao Ziming gave her.

My group of people were still talking about the old man's story just now, but I didn't expect him to come over in person after a while.Although they knew that the other party didn't do it on purpose, there was a burning feeling on the faces of the girls sitting there.

This is really embarrassing, they still can't do it to the extent that Mount Tai collapses before them and their colors don't change.Even if the other party is an ordinary stranger, they will feel embarrassed.What's more, he is still a well-known old man, which is even more embarrassing.

As if knowing that her arrival made these little girls a little restless, Gan Yixue found an empty seat and sat down by herself with a calm smile, put her hands on the table, looked at the girls around, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the old man's business It’s not a secret, there are more people who know about it. There are also many people like you who will discuss it here, and it’s not something difficult to see.”

The old man seemed to be in a good mood, so he had a peaceful face when he spoke.It's just that a careful person can see that his eyes are looking at Chu Lian and Chu Chu intentionally or unintentionally. He thinks that the reason why he came here is because they are also here.

Chu Lian is fine, the experience of her previous life has made her used to this kind of vague gaze, so after the initial embarrassment, she has been able to sip tea gracefully, pretending not to know look like.

But Chu Chu's temperament is a bit straight, and she doesn't have such a good attitude and experience as Chu Lian, so when she noticed that Gan Yixue's gaze was always lingering on her body for a while, she finally couldn't help it. He opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Gan, Chu Chujing, you are an old man, you can tolerate many things, but why do you always look at me and my elder sister? If there is any offense or inappropriateness, you can say it, but there is no need to do so. "

Even when she got mad, Chu Chu maintained a good self-restraint. Under the high-pressure education of her mother, although she sometimes acted petty, she would always be a big lady on the right occasion.

This may be the so-called mask.

"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry, the old man didn't come here to find fault, but after meeting an old friend, I couldn't help but come and take a look." Gan Yixue was not angry, but stretched out her hand and shook it a few times, signaling Chu Chu not to be angry, Then he explained his purpose.

"After the old man? I don't know what the old man Mr. Gan refers to?" Since Gan Yixue said that he and Chu Chu are the old man, then he must know his family background, so who is the old man he is talking about?

"It's been ten years now. Maybe that person has already forgotten about the old man. After all, what qualifications does he have if he is defeated?" The old man didn't answer Chu Lian's question immediately, but his eyes were deep and he fell into a In a state of reminiscence, he began to talk to himself and tell his own story.

"Ten years ago, I was the veritable No.1 Cantonese cuisine in Guangdong Province. At that time, everyone in China knew Gan Yixue's name. Even the culinary circles abroad have heard of me."

"Man, once you become famous, it's easy to be arrogant, and it's easy to be used as a springboard for your fame. So many people came to Guangdong Province from all over the world to compete with me with the goal of defeating me."

"Of course, only those who have passed the level of my apprentices can compete with me. And those who can reach this stage basically have a lot of fame in the culinary world."

"Maybe it's because the masters of the same level have their own arrogance, or maybe they're not interested in it, so generally the people who can walk in front of me are not as strong as me. Therefore, I soon have 30 winning streak."

"At that time, I was considered young, and the longer and longer winning streak made me lose myself. Finally, one day, I challenged one of the most famous culinary masters."

"She didn't refuse, nor did she say that she needed time to prepare, but she cooked a few home-cooked dishes for me to taste..."

"The result is that I lost, and I lost in a mess."

"Only a few people know the result of this competition, and they also know the identity of the opponent, so they didn't spread the word, which made me barely maintain the title of the number one master of Cantonese cuisine."

"However, if you have escaped this catastrophe, you will not be able to escape another catastrophe after all."

"Hearing that I challenged that person, her apprentice had an opinion on me. In a match, when I defeated my opponent and won 37 consecutive victories, she came..."

"I still don't forget what it was like at that time, but I don't know what to say anymore."

"Compared to her master, the ingredients she uses and the dishes she cooks are much more complicated, but the result has not changed at all. I also lost..."

"Hehe, it's also fortunate that the competition was over at that time, there was no media attention, and the challenge was also in a private time and private space, so not many people knew about it."

"But if I lose this time, I really lost. Because she made a bet with me before competing with me. If I win, I will get a bet of 100 billion Chinese yuan. If she wins, I will All of her family property will be hers, and she will no longer be allowed to stay in China's culinary circle."

"Those who knew who she was, didn't doubt whether she could come up with 100 billion funds to make a bet. On the contrary, they chose to agree to this bet in order to get rid of the shadow of the master who lost to that person as soon as possible..."

"The result is what it is now. All my family property has been lost in her hands. And because I can't stay in Huaxia, I accepted the Zhao family's invitation to come here to be a chef..."

This story is not long, the old man didn't talk about the process, he didn't talk about the emotional fluctuations, and he didn't look regretful, everything was so plain.It seems that this story has nothing to do with him, as if this past event has been taken lightly by him.

In short, what Chu Lian and the others see now is an old man with a calm personality. From this, it is really hard to imagine what he looked like ten years ago, so that he can be called crazy?

"Then, can you tell me now, who is the old man you mentioned?" After Chu Lian finished listening, the trace of dissatisfaction in Chu Lian's heart because of being watched by him disappeared, and turned into a faint admiration.

After ten years of ups and downs, this old man fell from the peak to the abyss, and when he stood up again, he already saw through the world of mortals.How many people can do this?

"That person is your mother..." The old man looked in the direction of Huaxia, pondered for a long time, and finally said who this person was.

After hearing this, the girls were all stunned in place, some couldn't believe it, some were at a loss, and some were in turmoil.

When they came to their senses, the old man had already gone away, and plates of sumptuous dishes were served one after another.

"Mother, what kind of legend is your past?" Chu Lian silently tasted the food in his mouth, thinking a lot...

Unexpectedly, during a trip to the neon lights, I came into contact with Li Mingxue's past. This woman who has hidden too many secrets is willing to be a qualified mother now. What kind of feelings is this?

She doesn't know, but she wants to know...

Chapter 170 Four: Mother's Past

After knowing who defeated Gan Yixue and made him have to live abroad and who took root here, the girls no longer had much thought about eating, and they all looked preoccupied.

Kurosaki Satsuki may be an exception, because the stories she heard were all translated by Miki, without the touching feeling brought by the old man's personal experience mixed in, she just thinks this person is very powerful, It is admirable, and there is no more feeling.

Maybe it's also because she doesn't know much about Chu Lian, she doesn't know Chu Lian's family background, and she doesn't know why her mother does anything.Because at the beginning, her impression of Chu Lian was that she was a young girl who was born in a big family, and she was a lady of a hidden big family who was deeply entangled with the practice world.

So after listening to Gan Yixue's story, she just felt that Chu Lian's mother was very powerful, and the experience of the old man was embarrassing. At the same time, she was more sure that Chu Lian's identity was the heir of a hidden family, and she had no other ideas. up.

Although her intuition and judgment are correct in a certain way, she who has "forgotten" Chinese, the judgment she made at this time cannot be said to be correct.

"Hey, Chuchu, do you know about mother's past?" Chu Lian deliberately used the word "these" to remind Chuchu that she has already begun to pursue her mother's past.

Obviously, Chu Chu also understood the meaning of her words, but she also didn't know anything about it, and she couldn't give Chu Lian an answer at this time, so she could only shake her head: "Chu Chu doesn't know either. Chu Chu has memories When I was young, I lived with my mother and elder sister, and I have never seen my mother leave home for more than three days because of things other than work."

Chu Chu bit her finger with some hesitation, and said uncertainly: "Perhaps Sister Chu Ke and Brother Chu Ren know, after all, they are older than us, but why have I never heard them mention this matter?" Woolen cloth?"

Li Xiu'er beside her was also blank-eyed. She knew that her aunt was very good, but she never thought that she was also so good at cooking.Isn't it only when you are in your own home that you will reveal your mystery?What is Auntie's past?

While the girls were struggling, Chu Lian was also helpless. She didn't get the answer she wanted, and she already knew in her heart that it was basically impossible to know the answer at this time, so she didn't ask any more questions, but looked at Looking at Cai Ya with inexplicable eyes, she turned her head sideways and asked, "Cai Ya, what's wrong with you?"

"No, I just thought of some happy things, that's why I was so preoccupied." When Cai Ya was asked, her cheeks turned red immediately, and a ray of pink spread around her ears, she seemed very shy.

Of course, it was impossible for her to tell Chu Lian what the reason for her happiness was.

When she got to know Chu Lian, she had investigated the information of her family, and she knew exactly what her background was, her parents, and even her grandparents' family background.

Originally, she thought that Chu Lian's family was an ordinary wealthy family, and she was not very confident about herself and her future.Unexpectedly, Chu Lian's ability displayed during this trip became more and more powerful, and even revealed secrets in the practice world that his family did not know.

At this time, I heard the story Gan Yixue told again, and the woman who defeated him in the story, Li Mingxue from the Chu family, was the mother of Chu Lian and Chu Chu.Some things revealed in this story have already let her know that she probably underestimated Chu Lian's family.

No, it's not that she underestimated them, but that everyone who didn't know the real details of their family underestimated them.The so-called big hermit in the city is probably used to describe this type of people.

However, what she is happy about is not how good Chu Lian's family background is, but because she can use this to convince her family.After all, as a girl who grew up in such a huge family, she knows that when she grows up, if she can't find someone who is truly well-matched and likes, what awaits her is bound to be a family that has been entrapped with countless interests. marriage.

She didn't want that kind of result, she didn't want to marry someone she didn't like, and she didn't want to be caught by fate.She wants to resist, she wants to be free, and she wants to find someone she likes for a lifetime.

It's just that this condition is too difficult. Maybe people from the Zhao family or the Wang family are very suitable, but what she likes is not these people, but this person who has taken away her since the first meeting. The girl I kissed for the first time.

Yes, she fell in love with another girl who was better than her, more popular than her, more perfect than her.She was worried about her family background before, but the family refused to agree, so after knowing this story, she no longer has any worries from the family.

No matter how favored she is, she is still a girl, destined not to be the ruler of the family, and even her children cannot become the core of the family.So whether there are offspring or not does not affect one's own family.Then, even if your object is a girl, as long as she perseveres, she will always succeed.

She is very clear about the thinking of those old guys in the family, as long as it is profitable, it doesn't matter to them whether she ends up marrying a mentally retarded man or an old man.

Not to mention that the other party is a member of a mysterious family, even if it is a girl, even if it cannot bear offspring, what does it matter?

Although cruel, ruthless, and infuriating, this is undoubtedly the tragedy of all wealthy women.Born in a wealthy family, he can't help himself, and enjoys the benefits of the family, so he has to spend the rest of his life paying for the family, it's just cause and effect.

Well, the reason she was shy was because she just thought of the scene where her "love" with Chu Lian was recognized by the family and they were entering the palace of marriage.This daydream-like fantasy was broken by Chu Lian, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the dwarf in the dream was looking at her, so it was strange that she wasn't shy.

"Why are you all so weird, I don't know what you are thinking." Seeing the shyness on Cai Ya's face and the water in her eyes, she was a little confused.

Now that she was reborn, she has been able to fit into the role of a girl very well, and because of the successive appearance and awakening of abilities such as "Lolita Heart", "Empty Valley Orchid", "White Rose" and other abilities, her behavior is completely in line with that of a girl. Women are exactly the same.

But a girl's mind is full of twists and turns, and she hasn't learned it yet.Just thinking about her, a brain that seems to be missing a string at certain times, it doesn't take much to expect her to understand this aspect.

On the contrary, Miao Qi saw something from Cai Ya's expression, and knew that it was time to help the shy girl out at this time, otherwise she would have to be shy all the time.So after she said a few words to Kurosaki Satsuki, she took Chu Lian's hand and said with a slight smile: "Now it's almost one ten, should we go gather?"

"Ah, it's already that late?" When they were listening to the story, they were too engrossed in it, so they didn't feel that the time passed quickly. Although the meal was rich, there were not many dishes, just enough for ten people appetite.This is still taking into account the pre-added portion of some foodies who have a big appetite.

When eating and thinking about things, it is normal to not feel the passage of time at the fingertips.

So when 楪祭 said this, the girls sitting there were all surprised.Fortunately, she noticed the time and reminded everyone, otherwise she would be late again for the 01:30 meeting.

Although the stories Gan Yixue told and the information she told them were too complicated, they didn't have much desire to eat.But the food cooked by him himself is indeed supremely delicious, even if he didn't try it hard, he would finish eating it before he knew it.

A white-haired girl who had just recovered from a serious injury even ate two servings. It can be seen that although the other party said they didn't ask for it, they still couldn't help eating more when they ate delicious food.From this, we can see how hard she has been in the past few years.

"Don't spread what Mr. Gan said just now. After all, it's a secret. I don't want to be questioned about my mother, so please everyone." After the waiter cleaned up the leftovers, Chu Lian folded his hands and put them on the table. On the lips, sincerely said.

"Chu Lianjiang, don't worry, Nanako will never tell." Liulizi Nana was too happy, how could she tell this matter.The more mysterious and powerful Chu Lian is, the higher the success rate of the mission she wants to complete, how could she be annoyed.

"Father taught me not to tell other people's secrets to anyone outside the venue, so you can rest assured, Chu Lian." Lacus Lyle gracefully put down the white napkin that wiped her lips and said with a smile.Her purpose and attitude are similar to those of Liulizi Nana, of course she will not do stupid things.And what she said was indeed true.

"It's an honor to hear this story, how can you tell it? Unless it's Chu Lian, you tell it first, otherwise you don't have to worry that I will tell anything about it." Liu Yanran said in Liulizi Nana and Lak After Si Lyle expressed her position one after another, she also followed up.
