Half an hour later.
Lin Yan came to Qin Can's house with a breakfast box, then raised his hand and rang the doorbell.
He looked at Qin Can who opened the door, "Senior Brother."
Qin Can moved aside and said with a smile, "Come in quickly."
Lin Yan nodded and walked in.
"No need to change shoes." Qin Can closed the door and led him towards the restaurant.
Lin Yan put the breakfast in his hand on the dining table and took out the pork chop noodles he brought for Qin Can from the bag. "Brother, try the noodles made by my father. They are absolutely delicious."
"I can smell the fragrance!" Qin Can pulled out a chair and sat down. The soup and noodles were packed separately, still steaming, with green vegetables and chopped green onions floating on top, looking very tempting.
He opened the lids of two takeaway boxes and poured the noodles into the soup. Seeing Lin Yan still standing, he quickly said, "Hurry up and sit down, Junior Brother. What are you standing for?"
Lin Yan responded, then pulled out a chair and sat down, taking out his portion of wontons from the bag.
Qin Can opened the disposable chopsticks, spread out the noodles, then picked up a few noodles with the chopsticks and put them into his mouth, chewing slowly.
His eyes lit up and he lowered his head to drink another sip of soup.
The noodles are chewy and the soup is rich and delicious. It tastes great.
"Senior brother, how does it taste?" Lin Yan asked.
Qin Can gave a thumbs-up and praised, "It's delicious! It tastes better than those noodles that cost thousands of yuan a serving!"
"Brother, is this true? A bowl of noodles costs thousands of yuan." Lin Yan said.
Qin Can picked up the pork chop in the soup and took a bite. The meat was tender and fresh. "Of course it's real. If you want to open a branch and expand your business, I can invest."
Lin Yan took a bite of wonton and said, "I'll ask my parents when I get back."
"Okay." Qin Can took another sip of soup.
After a while, the two finished their breakfast.
Qin Can not only finished the noodles, but also drank the soup to the bottom. He wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "This is the first time I have eaten so cleanly. Junior brother, your noodles are really delicious."
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Brother, please come to my noodle shop often. I'll send the address to your phone and I'll tell my parents when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll definitely go." Qin Can cleaned up the food in front of him and stood up from his chair. "Junior brother, let's go. I'll take you to burn incense for the ancestor."
"Okay." Lin Yan stood up and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
The two came to the living room.
Qin Can pointed to the portrait hanging on the wall and said, "This is the portrait of our ancestor, painted by my master."
Lin Yan's eyes fell on the portrait of the ancestor. Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "My sister's painting is too good."
"Of course not. There's nothing her master can't do." Qin Can said.
Lin Yan glanced at the things on the coffee table, "Brother, do you usually draw talismans here?"
"Yes, it's right in front of the portrait of our founder." Qin Can bent down and took out three incense sticks from the drawer under the coffee table, then handed them to Lin Yan beside him, "Here."
Lin Yan reached out to take it, picked up the lighter on the coffee table, and lit the incense in his hand.
He moved his feet and faced the portrait on the wall, saying respectfully, "Greetings, Grandmaster. I am the second disciple accepted by the master, my name is Lin Yan. I came here specially today to burn incense for you."
After Lin Yan finished speaking, he bowed to the portrait and then inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Qin Can thought that the ancestor must have approved of Lin Yan. However, when he looked down and his eyes fell on the incense in the incense burner, he paused.
I saw that the three incense sticks that were originally inserted straight began to tilt in all directions, and the sparks burning on the top were flickering.
Lin Yan naturally noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this. It's not like he had never burned incense before, but normally it would burn straight up. He had never seen such a situation before.
He raised his finger and said in disbelief, "Brother, what's going on?"
"It's the first time I've seen this, too." Qin Can scratched his hair, then suddenly thought of something and guessed, "Could it be that the ancestor has appeared?"
"Ah?" Lin Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, then came to his senses, "Then what does the Grandmaster mean..."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Brother, could it be that the Grandmaster is dissatisfied with my opinion?!"
"This... I don't know..." Qin Can looked up at the portrait of the ancestor, and couldn't guess what the ancestor meant. After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't you burn another one and ask the ancestor directly if he is dissatisfied with you. If the incense is still the same as before, it should be true..."
"Okay, I'll try." Lin Yan nodded, feeling increasingly nervous and uneasy.
He took the incense that Qin Can handed him again, lit it with a lighter, bowed to the portrait, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then said: "Ancestor, if you are not satisfied with me, please let this incense be like it was just now."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Yan and Qin Can's eyes fell on the incense. However, this time the incense did not tilt around, but it still flickered.
"Senior Brother, what does the Grandmaster mean by this?" Lin Yan became even more confused upon seeing this.
Qin Can shook his head. "I don't know either. It's very strange. What on earth does the Grandmaster want to say?"
"Why is there only half a reaction this time? Does it mean that the master is half satisfied with me and half dissatisfied?" Lin Yan guessed.
"I see. We're still missing a step!" Qin Can's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of something. "Try burning incense again. This time, praise the ancestor more. Master said the ancestor loves to hear praise."
Lin Yan was not discouraged, "Okay, then I'll try again!"
Qin Can hummed, took out three more incense sticks from the drawer under the coffee table and handed them to Lin Yan, "Come, Junior Brother."
Lin Yan took it and repeated the previous steps. Holding the incense in both hands, he said to the portrait of the ancestor, "Ancestor, you are the most handsome and powerful. You are the best in the world!"
After saying that, he inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner.
Lin Yan and Qin Can stared at the incense that had just been inserted with nervous expressions. Fortunately, the incense was burning normally this time, with green smoke floating slowly, and there was no abnormality.
Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. He turned his head to look at Qin Can standing beside him and asked in a low voice, "Brother, did it work this time?"
Qin Can raised his hand and patted his shoulder, smiling and said, "It's done, the Grandmaster has recognized you."
Lin Yan's heart finally settled down. He had never thought that the Grandmaster actually liked being flattered. He chuckled and said, "That's good. I was almost scared to death!"
"Yes, the method that Master told me at that time was indeed useful." Qin Can said.
Lin Yan looked back at the portrait on the wall and said respectfully and devoutly, "Grandmaster, don't worry, I will work hard in the future!"
In a trance, he seemed to hear someone hum in his ear.
