Chapter 854: Spicy Coriander Beef Noodles
Qin Xiao also knelt on the ground, holding the medicine tightly.
"I will marry."
"Wait a minute, Grandpa, why don't you ask me if I want to get married?" Qin Botang hurriedly stopped him.
Old Master Qin looked at his grandson and said, "From childhood to adulthood, have I ever asked for your opinion on anything I asked you to do?"
Qin Botang was depressed: "No."
Old Master Qin: "Yes, there was none before, so why do you ask for it today? Since you rarely ask for it, let me ask you, why don't you want to marry?"
"Before you answer, you have to think carefully. Qin Wuhuan is the perfect match I chose for you since you were a child. She is the only heir of your uncle's generation, and there are no offspring. The secret fight of the Qin family cannot be dispersed. If you want to secure the position of the head of the Qin family medicine hall, your wife must be her."
Qin Botang fell silent.
That's right, from childhood to adulthood he had only one goal, to inherit the Qin family's legacy and make the Qin family stronger and bigger. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, reading and calligraphy, every minute and every second from morning to night were arranged for him, including his heart. He wanted to marry Wuhuan, start a family with her, inherit the prescriptions in his uncle's hands, and make the Qin family a whole.
……But.
"Grandpa, Wuhuan likes women, and I can't stand my woman having unhealthy thoughts."
Old Master Qin looked at Qin Botang with disappointment: "I didn't expect you would come up with such an excuse to lie to me."
"Lao Liang, let them stay in the same room from today on. Choose an auspicious date and you can get married. After the wedding, I will give the detoxification pills to Cheng Hanzhang."
Uncle Liang completed the task, but he didn't dare to look at the two younger generations of the Qin family, and helped the old man out.
Of course, don't forget to lock the door from the outside.
Qin Xiao also knelt on the ground in a daze for a long time.
Qin Botang couldn't bear to watch: "Are you okay?"
Qin Xiao also shook her head, but didn't cry. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "It's okay."
Fortunately... Cheng Hanzhang was saved.
…
Six days after Cheng Wenyuan and Cheng Lingxue set off, Jiang Wanwan received a call from them at the military region. The call was transferred several times from Nanjing before it came in.
The weather was hot, and the cicadas were chirping on the trees. Jiang Wanwan was standing in front of the small window of the communication room. She had pulled her waist-length hair back into a low bun tied with a blue headband. Her skirt was the same color as the headband, and she looked youthful and bright.
"Hey, Lingxue, how are you?"
Cheng Lingxue didn't know where the phone call came from. Outside, there was a lot of noise in the dialect that she couldn't understand: "Sister Wanwan, we really found the Qin family! And Xiao Nuonuo's mother."
"We have been asking around since we got here, and we bribed the chef of the state-owned restaurant that delivers food to the Qin family. We found out that a while ago, a young lady from the Qin family came back from abroad. Her name is Qin Wuhuan. She and Qin Botang, the eldest grandson of the Qin family and the heir of the Qin family's medicine hall, have been childhood sweethearts, and they are getting married soon."
"I think it's Xiao Nuonuo's mother, my sister-in-law. A few days ago, the Qin family went to worship their ancestors and sweep the graves. I squatted in front of the door and took a look from afar. I saw Qin Wuhuan, who looked very similar to Xiao Nuonuo! She looked very haggard and had a bitter face. Sister Wanwan, I'm sure that's my sister-in-law!"
Cheng Lingxue had never met Qin Xiaoye before, but after hearing about her deeds and all the things she had done for her eldest brother, she was convinced that Qin Xiao was her sister-in-law!
Finally there is news about Qin Xiaoye.
She was afraid that Cheng Lingxue and Cheng Wenyuan would think too much, so she spoke up for Qin Xiaoye without making a sound: "She must have married Qin Botang in order to go home and ask for medicine, and because she was threatened by someone."
Cheng Lingxue understood: "Ah, I know, Qin Xiao is also a good person."
Jiang Wanwan smiled helplessly. This child was nothing like Cheng Hanzhang's sister. Cheng Hanzhang had a thousand words in her mind but only said half of them. She, on the other hand, was very straightforward and never beat around the bush.
"You have a chance to contact her. You can reveal your identity and try to ask about the situation over there. You can bring the antidote and the people out."
Cheng Lingxue thought the same thing: "Okay, the communication fee is quite expensive, so I'll hang up first. You guys just wait for the news."
"Be careful." Jiang Wanwan put down the phone, paid and left.
She had to go out for something today. A few days ago, she went to the breeding farm to see the goose eggs and ask about the varieties. She passed by an alley. The alley looked ordinary, but there was an old man drying books. There were no words on the books, and the covers were yellow and old. Anyone who can dry such books must have some old stuff at home. She asked a few questions in the jargon, and sure enough, there was one.
I made an appointment to go over this afternoon to see if I can receive any old goods.
After coming to the farm, she has been busy with the chicken coop, the goose factory, and the stage play. She has not gone to collect the harvest for a long time. Recently, she has memorized a lot of knowledge points and chewed over the knowledge over and over again. She urgently needs to go out for a walk and collect something.
Otherwise my hands will itch.
Jiang Wanwan borrowed a half-new bicycle from the military district. Except for the chain being a bit stiff, it was very comfortable to ride and the bell still sounded. There was a state-owned restaurant at the front of the alley, so Jiang Wanwan went there first to have a bowl of beef noodles.
No matter how delicious the food in the cafeteria is, it’s easy to get tired of it if you eat there every day.
Jiang Wanwan sat by the window eating beef noodles. She endured it again and again and did not ask the store for garlic, for fear that she would not be able to brush her teeth after eating and have a bad taste in her mouth.
The cooking skills of the state-owned restaurant are pretty good. The noodles are chewy and springy, the beef is well-braised, the brown slices of meat have amber-transparent tendons, the processed meat does not have a strong fishy smell, and still retains the unique meaty aroma of beef. There are small drops of oil floating in the soup, and a little bit of chopped coriander is sprinkled on it.
Jiang Wanwan took the bowl and took a sip of the soup. The light and fragrant soup was hot, and the first sip made her nose break out in beads of sweat.
There were quite a lot of people at noon. Some were walking hand in hand under the window, and some naughty children were looking through the glass at the beautiful aunt eating inside.
Jiang Wanwan noticed the child outside and smiled at him. The little boy immediately put away his grimace and ran away shyly.
"Wan Wan."
Jiang Wanwan turned her head to look out the window. Someone was calling her from the seat next to her. The voice sounded pleasantly surprised and a little cold. It was Cheng Shiguan who had come out to eat during his lunch break.
Cheng Shiguan was also accompanied by his secretary Zhang Yuanyuan.
Zhang Yuanyuan had seen Jiang Wanwan in the photo. A long time ago, someone asked her to imitate the girl in the photo in dressing, speaking and walking. She imitated her like the girl in the photo, and everyone was very satisfied, including Cheng Shiguan.
She confidently thought that she and Jiang Wanwan were very similar, and that one day, she would be able to surpass the real person and make everyone see her without treating her as a substitute.
She saw it.
The woman's black hair, which was so smooth that it seemed to have been cared for with milk, honey, and the finest herbs, was casually tied behind her head, leaving a few strands of hair in front of her forehead. The simply tied hair looked even better than the one she had carefully permed and dyed at the Silian Hair Salon.
Their face shapes are somewhat similar, and their temperaments are very similar. She had been praised as a beauty since she was a child, but it was only after she met Jiang Wanwan that she knew what it meant to be incredibly beautiful.
