Chapter 471 Eating is Important
Hearing Yun Ran's words, Yibanlian licked her lips: "Didn't you say there were two?"
"Why not cook one into a dish and soak the other in wine? Old man, I want to eat pickled cabbage snake soup."
Yibanlian was good at grasping the key points. Yun Ran looked at his useless look of only caring about food and felt that Nan Xuan and Yibanlian were quite similar in some aspects.
I don’t know whether it was the master who led the great-grandmaster astray, or the great-grandmaster who led the master astray.
"Okay, then today I'll make a first-class lotus mandarin fish and a pickled cabbage snake soup. I'll soak the other snake in wine later. Is there anything else Master would like to eat?"
"That's all," Yibanlian waved her hands repeatedly. Seeing Yun Ran turning around and going upstairs with the basket, she seemed to remember something and shouted, "Add another bowl of longevity noodles! And an egg!"
Yun Ran paused and glanced down at him from the stairs. "Alright! But the pickled cabbage and snake soup and snake wine are extras. I didn't do this for nothing!"
"Wow!" Yibanlian suddenly screamed, "You little girl, you're even darker than your master! Today is the old man's birthday, I won't charge for eating two of your dishes, will I?"
"It's free," Yun Ran winked at him with a smile, "I just have something to ask of you."
After saying that, without waiting for Yibanlian to ask any more questions, he went straight upstairs with the basket.
Around noon, a fragrant smell wafted out from the small kitchen on the third floor, making people's appetites soar.
A moment later, Yun Ran came out of the small kitchen carrying a wooden tray. He had only taken two steps when he bumped into a lotus sitting at the corner of the corridor.
The old man couldn't wait any longer and was blocking her here because of the smell.
Yun Ran laughed: "Since the master is here, please help serve some dishes."
After saying that, she handed the wooden tray in her hand to Yibanlian, then went back to the small kitchen and brought out a wooden tray.
Outside the door, the old man had long disappeared. He must have carried the cat into his room.
Yun Ran shook his head helplessly and carried the wooden tray straight to Yibanlian's room.
In the room, Yibanlian was indeed sitting in front of the small table, on which were placed the first-class lotus mandarin fish and pickled cabbage snake soup that she had just prepared.
Yun Ran took a few side dishes and snacks as well as two bowls of noodles from the wooden tray, placed them on the small table, and then sat down opposite Yibanlian.
Yibanlian had already poured herself a glass of wine, and the mellow and sweet aroma of the wine drifted in the room. Yun Ran curled her lips, thinking that the old man had hidden this good wine very well.
"Tsk~" Yibanlian picked up a piece of snake and put it into his mouth, then took a sip of wine and let out a satisfied exclamation.
"The meat is tender, sweet and delicious, and with the pickled cabbage, it's even more flavorful. I haven't had such delicious snake meat in a long time. This pot of Hantanxiang that I've treasured for many years is finally not wasted!"
"Tell me, what do you need from me, old man?"
Yibanlian narrowed her eyes and looked at Yun Ran.
As expected, talking to smart people saves time and effort. Yun Ran curled his lips slightly and said, "I want to ask you to help me improve the dragon beard noodles."
"Perfect... Dragon Beard Noodles?" Yibanlian was a little confused.
Yun Ran then realized that Yibanlian seemed to have no idea that her whip was called Dragon Beard Noodles.
So she rolled up her sleeves, revealing the silver bracelet wrapped around her wrist, and swayed it in front of Yibanlian.
"Here, this is it. Master said you made this whip. It shouldn't be difficult to perfect it, right?"
"Tsk," Yibanlian frowned as he chewed the soft and tender mandarin fish meat, "What's the matter? The whip I made for you doesn't work?"
"No," Yun Ran pursed her lips, "It's just that I'm not strong enough."
At this moment, Yibanlian put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at her seriously: "Girl, you are just running a restaurant and cooking. I don't want you to kill people or set fires. Isn't this whip enough for you?"
Yun Ran ignored him and said directly, "A man who has eaten someone's food should be grateful, and a man who has taken someone's money should be soft-hearted. Master, I want to put some hidden weapons on the dragon beard mask, and I want them to be poisonous."
Yibanlian stopped talking. He stared at Yun Ran for a while and reached out his hand towards Yun Ran.
Yun Ran understood, took the dragon beard noodles off his wrist and handed it to Yibanlian.
Yibanlian looked at the dragon beard noodles and asked, "Have you decided?"
"Yeah." Yun Ran nodded.
"The little girl has a very good idea. Why didn't you discuss it with Jingzhen?"
"This is the result of our discussion." Yun Ran said calmly, "Why did Master give me that book back then? Wasn't it for today?"
The book she was talking about was when she first encountered Yibanlian on the way to Kuizhou with her two grandfathers.
At that time, Yibanlian handed her a book called "Geographical Records".
She didn't know why at the time, but later when she had nothing to do, she read the book thoroughly and wrote down all its contents.
Seeing her calm and determined look, Yibanlian felt helpless. This girl was throwing the blame on him.
"Ahem," Yibanlian coughed, "Don't talk nonsense. I gave you that book because... because I felt you and I were destined to be together. I didn't mean anything else!"
Seeing his nervous look, Yun Ran smiled: "I won't tell Brother Xiao Jing about you. This is all my own idea. I also coerced you. Master, please help me."
"Look, you've been eating and drinking for free here for so long, and I haven't even asked you for money."
A lotus petal: ...
He really couldn't stand the little girl begging him in such a delicate voice.
"Oh, alright, alright," he waved his hand, "this is just the first time, it won't happen again!"
"Okay!" Yun Ran's eyes suddenly lit up with joy.
Seeing her so cheerful, Yibanlian suddenly felt that the food in her mouth was no longer tasty.
If this girl goes with him and something happens, I'm afraid his old bones will be broken into pieces.
Hiss, thinking of this, Yibanlian completely lost his appetite.
Ye Jingzhen, Nan Xuan, the Yun family, the Rong family, the Yin family...
He frowned and counted on his fingers one by one, calculating how many people would come to settle the score with him if anything happened to Yun Ran.
After counting over and over again, I broke out in a cold sweat. Almost all the powerful people in Dakang Kingdom have gathered together!
"Grandmaster?"
Seeing him suddenly stunned, Yun Ran stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him: "Why don't you eat?"
What the hell is there to eat? Yibanlian thought to himself, as soon as he finishes making the dragon beard noodles, he will have to pack up and run away!
"Grandmaster?"
“Ahem…”
Yibanlian came back to her senses and said, "Eat it, eat it right away. This old man is just thinking about how to help you improve the dragon beard noodles!"
Yun Ran looked at the awkward smile on his face and felt that it didn't seem like it at all: "Really?"
"Of course it's true, why would an old man lie to you?"
Yibanlian said this as he picked up a large piece of mandarin fish and stuffed it into his mouth.
The fresh and tender taste of the mandarin fish still impressed him. Mm, so delicious!
Forget it, forget it. Let’s talk about the future later. Eating is important. Eating is important.
