Chapter 218: Eating melons in the old times (Thirty)
The last time I saw Meng Yao was more than twenty days ago.
At that time, Meng Yao had probably just traveled to this strange world.
She was a little confused and uneasy.
But there was a burning light in her eyes.
She also exudes a strong sense of confidence and determination.
However, in less than a month, Meng Yao had undergone significant changes.
The light in his eyes is still there, but not as bright as before.
She became much more "docile", and the sharp edges that were highlighted by her self-confidence were also smoothed out a little.
She was even a little unconfident.
"Meng Yao, what on earth did she go through?"
Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but ask questions in her heart.
Her tone was like she was sighing, rather than really wanting an answer.
Huoshui couldn't help but jump out excitedly, "I know! I know! This is called PUA!"
Wow, the mind control method like PUA is really powerful. Even our ancient ancestors who traveled through time and space have fallen into its trap.
As expected, Gu Qingcheng heard Huoshui's "showing off" and was secretly satisfied, but remained calm.
He continued to mutter to himself with his spiritual consciousness, "Could it be that Lu Xinhua did something? This shouldn't be the case. Although Lu Xinhua is a little extreme, his values are still normal!"
That PUA doesn't sound like something a decent person would do.
"I know this too! In fact, Lu Xinhua is not deliberately brainwashing Meng Yao."
The evil continued to bounce around in Gu Qingcheng's sea of consciousness. "He just happened to be there! Meng Yao sued her father, and she was ostracized."
During that time, she herself had just arrived here, and was filled with confusion and loneliness.
The pointing and talking of her neighbors and the contemptuous looks from her colleagues made her feel as if she was surrounded by all kinds of negative emotions.
At this time, Lu Xinhua jumped out, still with an attitude of "Don't be afraid! I support you!"
Feeling Lu Xinhua's kindness, Meng Yao treated Lu Xinhua as a friend even though their values were different.
However, Meng Yao didn't know that her "only" friend was exactly the premise for her to be PUA -
The social circle has become narrower.
Lu Xinhua was the only one left in her world.
Therefore, even if Lu Xinhua did not intend to exercise mental control over Meng Yao, she slowly began to rely on Lu Xinhua.
As for Lu Xinhua, although he didn't do it on purpose, he always has some bad qualities of a man - he likes to exalt himself and belittle women.
The PUA drama began and exerted tremendous power.
Gu Qingcheng roughly understood the meaning of "PUA" from Huoshui's explanation.
It seemed to make sense, but Gu Qingcheng still questioned it, "It's not just mind control! There must be other reasons."
Gu Qingcheng suddenly thought of a word and asked tentatively, "Is Meng Yao the heroine of Lu Xinhua's 'destined' relationship?"
Huoshui didn't react for a moment, and blurted out, "How do you know?"
Very good, Gu Qingcheng was certain that Meng Yao’s change, in addition to Lu Xinhua’s reasons, should also be due to “God’s” arrangement.
"No way! Is the power of the plot so strong? After meeting the heroine Meng Yao, was she forcibly reduced in intelligence?"
Huoshui listened to Gu Qingcheng's guess and couldn't help muttering to himself.
Gu Qingcheng remained calm and wrote down some of the new words mentioned by Huoshui.
The power of the plot? Forced lowering of intelligence?
"Huoshui, you mean that according to Meng Yao's original temperament, it is impossible for her to be with Lu Xinhua, right?"
Gu Qingcheng already has a more certain guess.
Meng Yao is a truly amazing person who is able to start a family.
She must be very strong inside.
Even if she came to a strange, new world, she would be confused and lost for a short time, but she would not be really afraid.
With her strong character and open mind, how could it be possible for her to be PUAed in such a short time?
What about the right time, right place, and right people? They are all excuses!
Yes! Meng Yao sued her own father, which seemed to be a huge offense against the world.
However, this era is not the ancient dynasty with strict rules.
In the 1960s, there were still very positive and progressive new ideas.
Meng Yao was indeed ostracized by her neighbors and colleagues.
But as long as she sticks to her heart and works hard, she can always change her situation——
Cooking skills!
It is also a skill! And people with skills are awesome.
Things like "character" are not important.
Let's not talk about the distant past, let's take Meng Yao's cheap scumbag father as an example. As a son-in-law, his true colors were exposed after his father-in-law died. Is his character good? Even if everyone didn't know that Yu Sixing was his biological son at that time, his various behaviors were still jumping on the moral bottom line.
The discussions among neighbors and colleagues never stopped.
The street staff also talked to Yu Xingwang and asked him not to force Meng Yao to drop out of school.
But, so what? Yu Xingwang still does his own thing, and he still holds the position of chef in the restaurant! So, character is never the decisive factor.
Ability is!
Meng Yao was ostracized by everyone in the restaurant and was not allowed to touch the stove?
Ha, what kind of difficulty is this? Hundreds of years ago, the strict male-female superiority was so strict. Could it be that Meng Yao's cooking path was so smooth? She probably had to work hard to learn the skills!
Not allowed to touch, not allowed to look? If Meng Yao had been obedient, she would not have become the founder of Meng's cuisine, and the ancestor of the divine chef Meng family! The person, still the same person, came to a more relaxed and free time and space, but suddenly became so easily influenced by the outside world and controlled by someone's mind——
This is simply not true.
"No wonder Meng Yao 'awakened'!"
After some guessing, Gu Qingcheng had the answer in her mind.
The word "awakening" was not her original idea, but was told to her by Huoshui.
Several fanfictions overlap, and the main characters are impacted, and the "plot forces" that originally bound them become less stubborn.
So, the heroines such as Meng Yao awakened.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Unfortunately, by the time they realize this, it is already too late, and perhaps their lives are about to end.
They are more resentful than ordinary wishers, but they cannot change their fate by themselves.
They can only take out soul fragments and ask the so-called executors for help!
"Hiss! Your Majesty, you are so amazing! You have revealed the secret of heaven with just one word!"
Huoshui's CPU was running frantically, and it also switched from gossip mode to thinking mode.
Then I realized that, hey, Boss Gu's guess seemed more reasonable and in line with the facts! "That's right! It must be the power of the plot. Meng Yao was forcibly reduced in intelligence!"
The more Huoshui thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth.
Gu Qingcheng had already gotten the answer from Huoshui, so she didn't waste any more words with him.
With a thought, she threw the disaster into the small dark room.
Huoshui: ... Respected Queen, is it really okay for you to just throw it away after using it? "I, I'm still an apprentice!"
While Gu Qingcheng was communicating with Huoshui, Meng Yao pinched the corner of her clothes and said very unconfidently, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid——"
While saying this, Meng Yao did not forget to look at the waiter.
So, what she feared was not that she couldn’t cook well, but that she would be further excluded and ridiculed by her colleagues after she became famous! “What are you afraid of? I’m not afraid even if I’m just eating!”
Gu Qingcheng understood Meng Yao's problem, and she suddenly became "arrogant".
Bang! A stack of money and food coupons were slammed onto the table.
Gu Qingcheng shouted like a nouveau riche, "Braised pork, stewed chicken, braised pork intestines, fried fish fillets... whatever specialties you have, bring them all to me!"
"My master and I are doing technical support in a factory in the mountains. We are tired after a day and just want to have a good meal!"
Gu Qingcheng is not just being arrogant. She combines her enjoyment of gourmet food with her work.
"Yes! Master worked so hard today. He went to support a brother unit, but he didn't even have a meal at the end!"
Several disciples agreed.
Several customers who were still eating in the restaurant were initially displeased by Gu Qingcheng's "domineering" and "rich" appearance.
However, after listening to what Gu Qingcheng and several disciples said, they all felt relieved.
So that's how it is.
I supported a brother unit and was busy all day, but I didn't eat or take any money from them.
It is quite reasonable for a kind master to return to his unit, spend his own money, and treat himself and his apprentices to a good meal.
He was the hotel manager, and originally wanted to use official language to send Gu Qingcheng away.
But now, he didn't know what to say.
"We should! We should make sure that the masters can enjoy their meals!"
The hotel manager quickly put on an apologetic smile.
The waiter was still a little indignant: What's wrong with having skills and being able to go to a brother unit to provide support? Who is not a formal worker, who has not made contributions?
Humph, you are awesome! The waitress was dissatisfied, but she was not stupid. She did not dare to refute directly, so she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "But there are not many dishes left in the kitchen."
Chicken and fish, do you really think their restaurant is a warehouse, with everything you want? In these days, restaurants don't really order dishes, but they just cook whatever they have, and customers eat whatever they have.
"No ingredients" is the best excuse waiters use to evade (embarrass?) customers, no doubt about it!
"You didn't?"
Gu Qingcheng glanced at the waitress, and when she nodded, she grinned, revealing her neat white teeth, "I have it!"
Waiter: ...(￣△￣；) Restaurant manager: ...(⊙_⊙) Meng Yao didn't react much. A pheasant, a bunch of mushrooms, a fish and a bunch of vegetables were stuffed into her hands.
Meng Yao seemed to be deeply trapped in a dream, and when she walked, her whole body seemed to be floating.
I returned to the kitchen and started washing and cutting vegetables.
Her mental state is not online, but she has strong memory muscles.
As soon as her hands touched the kitchen knife and wok, she felt as if possessed by something.
He was no longer in a trance and timid state, and now exuded a powerful aura from the inside out.
Clang clang clang! The kitchen knife flew, and all kinds of side dishes appeared on the chopping board in perfect shapes.
Boom! The flames on the stove jumped up high.
Clang, clang, clang! Meng Yao skillfully tossed the heavy iron pot with just one hand.
Soon, an alluring aroma emanated from the kitchen...
