Hearing Jiang Xinian say this, Xiao Lingling's curiosity was immediately aroused.
"Ah? Really? Then Master, please tell me about it. I'm really curious. How else can it be legendary?"
Jiang Xinian shook his head in amusement, with a somewhat vicissitudes of life in his eyes, but he had no intention of telling her a story.
"Don't worry, you will eventually experience the dangers of the world, so why rush it now?
Some things are better left unseen. If possible, I don't want to know those messy things.
This is why I am unwilling to diagnose those people from wealthy families.
Everyone envies their wealth and prosperity, and their many descendants, but in my opinion, this may not be a good thing.
The more descendants you have, the easier it is to neglect them and the more likely they are to lack education.
It may not be easy for a person to make a family prosperous, but it is extremely easy for a person to destroy a family.
So, in comparison, those big families are not that great, but families like yours are pretty good."
Little Lingling didn't quite understand what her master said, but she immediately agreed with him.
"That's right! Our family is very good."
Jiang Xinian lowered his head and saw her innocent look, and couldn't help laughing.
Yes, it's pretty good.
Originally, the carriage was going to go back directly, but the two of them had been busy for most of the day and had not eaten anything.
Jiang Xinian asked someone to take a detour and go to a snack bar hidden in an alley. The place was a bit remote, but there were quite a few people there.
They sat in groups of three or four on the benches by the roadside, each holding a bowl of noodles, eating and chatting, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
The atmosphere is so great!
Xiao Lingling fell in love with it as soon as she came.
"Wow, Master, it smells so good! I'm immediately hungry! I want to eat lots of delicious food!"
Jiang Xinian pulled him towards the store, "Old Qiu! Give me two bowls of shredded pork noodles, another four ounces of braised beef, a pot of wine, and a pot of sweet tea."
The man who was busy rolling noodles in the shop heard the sound and immediately looked up in surprise. He was a little surprised to see Jiang Xinian.
"Hey! Lao Jiang, this is rare! I thought you forgot about me!"
"How is that possible? Look, I just got back a few days ago, and I rushed over as soon as I had some time! Hurry up, I haven't eaten lunch yet, I'm starving."
The boss stopped what he was doing when he heard that. "Okay, okay, go find a place to sit down first. I'll make you noodles right away. It'll be ready in no time!"
Jiang Xinian nodded and walked out holding the little bell. Just then, the people eating at the table at the door had finished their meal and were ready to leave, so the master and disciple sat down directly.
Lao Qiu took the money and quickly took away the dishes outside. After a while, he brought in a plate of braised beef and wine.
"Come on, eat first, the noodles will be ready soon!"
Jiang Xinian pushed the meat in front of Xiao Lingdang and said, "Didn't you say you were hungry? Come and try it. Lao Qiu's braised beef is amazing. It tastes three times better than those big restaurants."
Xiao Lingling has been craving for it for a long time. Ever since the braised beef with soy sauce was served, her eyes seemed to be glued to it.
When she heard the master say to eat, she picked up the chopsticks and picked up a large piece and stuffed it into her mouth. The feeling was extremely satisfying, and her mouth was full.
Little Bell chewed and smiled, narrowing her eyes. "Good job, Lion Tiger, you eat too!"
Jiang Xi laughed young and poured himself a small glass of wine. "Take your time to eat. No one will snatch it from you. If you like, eat for a while and pack some up to take back when you leave!"
When Little Bell heard this, she nodded repeatedly, "Great, great, great, great for Daddy and Mommy too!"
"Okay, okay, got it. Here, some tea. Eat slowly, be careful not to choke!"
Xiao Lingling picked up the tea poured by her master and took a sip. It was sweet tea with honey and chrysanthemum in it, and it was sweet.
Xiao Lingdang was enjoying her meal, and Jiang Xinian ate while sipping a glass of wine, and he captured the romance perfectly.
After finishing this busy period, Lao Qiu temporarily put down the work in his hands and sat next to Jiang Xinian.
"Old Jiang, you were fine, why did you suddenly come back?" He turned around and glanced at Xiao Lingling. "Oh, this is your legendary little apprentice, right? He's quite handsome. It's really a waste for me to have you as my master!"
Jiang Xinian glared at him and said, "If you don't want to be my disciple, do you think you can teach me how to make noodles?"
Old Qiu was not angry. He laughed a few times, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank with Jiang Xinian.
Jiang Xinian couldn't help but click his tongue, "Hey, you old thing, I bought this. If you want to drink it, drink your own!"
Old Qiu ignored him, moved closer to Xiao Lingling, and said in a low voice, "Little girl, your master is very stingy.
Why are you so desperate that you want to take him as your master? How about you take me as your master instead?
I see you really like this braised beef with soy sauce. This is my exclusive secret recipe. If you want to become my disciple, I will teach you. How about it?"
His voice was soft, but Jiang Xinian heard it clearly and slapped him on the shoulder speechlessly.
"If you want to dig at the base of the wall, don't do it in front of me! Why are you still like this? I'm accepting you as my apprentice, so you have to dig.
After all these years, you still haven't been able to poach a single one. Why are you still so happy with this?"
"So what? I just enjoy the fun of digging people up. Is that not okay? If you're capable, go dig them up too!"
"I can only dig it if you have an apprentice!"
"Hey! How come I don't have an apprentice? I'm not the same person I was last year. I actually did accept an apprentice.
But he's busy now, so he's not here. When he's free, I'll take him to see you!"
"Forget it, I don't care. If she likes you, her eyes are probably not that good. By the way, how is my sister-in-law?"
"Hey, it's still the same, but I'm used to taking care of her. Anyway, I can take care of her for one day as long as I'm alive. It's okay!"
"Don't be too discouraged. Maybe your sister-in-law will wake up that day."
It was quite interesting to see everyone talking to each other. Little Lingling ate while watching them talking and laughing and bickering, and laughed from time to time.
However, at the end of the conversation, Jiang Xinian mentioned a name, and the atmosphere instantly fell.
"If I remember correctly, it will be the anniversary of my eldest brother's death in a few days. Let's go and see him together on that day."
Old Qiu's expression froze, and then with a hint of sadness in his eyes, he nodded, "Okay! Let's meet at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain then.
I have to leave early with your sister-in-law, so I won't have to wait for you in Beijing."
After saying that, he turned to look at Xiao Lingdang and said, "However, what I said at that time was true."
He took out a piece of paper from his pocket. The ink on it had just dried, which showed that it was newly written.
"This is the secret recipe for the braised beef in soy sauce. Consider it a welcome gift from Grandpa Qiu. Otherwise, you won't have anywhere else to eat it in the future."
