Chapter 144: Secret love
Narong hills Ronger city, inside Chenji tea shop in the western suburbs market.
After Xuanyuan Lingling bid farewell to Chen Bing, she was about to leave. She was about to take a step, but Chen Bing was holding her back.
Xuanyuan Lingling was stunned, turned around slowly, staring at Chen Bing with confusion, then smiled slightly, and said, "Miss Chen, you are..."
"Miss Lingling takes me..." Chen Bing's lips opened slightly, and as soon as he said these words, he suddenly stopped abruptly.
Xuanyuan Lingling opened her eyes wide and stared at Chen Bing without blinking, but Chen Bing suddenly lowered her head slightly. Seeing this, Xuanyuan Lingling looked confused.
After Chen Bing lowered his head and silent for more than ten seconds, she slowly raised her head. Then she squeezed out a tough smile on her face and said to Xuanyuan Lingling: "Miss Lingling, let's go after lunch? Xiaoyu has gone out to buy wine and vegetables."
When Xuanyuan Lingling heard the word "Wine and Food", her abdomen suddenly sounded softly. Xuanyuan Lingling shyly stretched out her white and jade-like hand, gently stroked her belly, and nodded at Chen Bing with an awkward smile, saying, "Then I'll disturb Miss Chen and make Miss Chen spend money. I'm really sorry."
Chen Bing smiled and shook his head, pulled Xuanyuan Lingling and sat back again, and said softly: "Miss Lingling is so cute. Since you are a good friend of Brother Meng, you are also my good friend of Chen Bing. It is natural to invite a good friend to have a meal."
Xuanyuan Lingling smiled slightly, and she stared at Chen Bing, suddenly thinking about something.
After hesitating for a while, Xuanyuan Lingling suddenly couldn't help but ask Chen Bing: "How did Miss Chen know Brother Ze?"
Chen Bing suddenly heard Xuanyuan Lingling intimately calling Meng Zhize "Brother Ze". Her heart suddenly felt inexplicably sad, but her expression remained unchanged.
After Chen Bing took a deep breath, she forced herself to smile and said, "When I was a playmate of Brother Meng when I was young."
After hearing Chen Bing's words, Xuanyuan Lingling said softly, but her brows frowned slightly. After pondering for a while, Xuanyuan Lingling suddenly said, "But Brother Ze seems to have grown up in Limo Hall."
Chen Bing nodded, did not deny what Xuanyuan Lingling said, and smiled and said, "Miss Lingling, this is the case. Brother Meng lived in his grandfather's house in Ronger City before he was seven years old. It was at that time that we became good friends with Brother Meng."
"So that's it." Xuanyuan Lingling suddenly felt relieved. After hearing Chen Bing's words, she felt a little happy in her heart and said to herself: "This girl Chen Bing was just Brother Ze's childhood playmate. At that time, they were all children with bigger fucks. What kind of relationship can they have?
Look at how nervous I look like? Alas... Xuanyuan Lingling, Xuanyuan Lingling, are you too petty, right?"
"I also have a confusion in my heart. I wonder how Miss Lingling met Brother Meng?"
Chen Bing was always curious about what kind of relationship did Xuanyuan Lingling have with Meng Zhize? Seeing Xuanyuan Lingling appearing in a daze, Chen Bing suddenly couldn't help blurting out.
Xuanyuan Lingling's eyes flashed, hesitated for a while, and suddenly said, "Minister girl... Uh, the Midea girl happened to meet Brother Ze at a martial arts performance conference held on the main street of Qingluan, the imperial capital."
Xuanyuan Lingling and Meng Zhize first met, but in fact they were in the Li Motang competition fifteen years ago.
At that time, Xuanyuan Lingling was the representative of the magician department and Meng Zhize, the representative of the Earth Warrior discipline.
Xuanyuan Lingling and Meng Zhize are both outstanding young talents in their respective disciplines. The competition between these two immediately amazed the entire Limo Hall and the imperial capital Langcheng.
Moreover, this incident actually alarmed the then king Zui Chenxin and the Grand Sima Wen Decun. It is conceivable how amazing the two of them were in the competition at that time.
When Xuanyuan Lingling answered Chen Bing’s question, he deliberately concealed something. After all, he had already concealed his identity in advance. Now if he said that he had first met Meng Zhize on the Limotang competition arena, the previous lies would undoubtedly be exposed.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Lingling lied that she met Meng Zhize at the martial arts performance conference on the main street of the imperial capital Qingluan. Because the martial arts performance conference held in the imperial capital a few years ago, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire country of Cyan.
"Miss Lingling and Brother Meng are really a good relationship!" Although Chen Bing said this with a smile, there was a strong sense of sourness in this sentence.
Xuanyuan Lingling was stunned and smiled awkwardly: "The folk girl and Miss Chen Bing meet in this vast sea of people, and they can have such a happy conversation. The fate between us is not short!"
Chen Bing was amused by Xuanyuan Lingling's words, and she paused and suddenly said, "That's right, that's right... I can meet you for thousands of miles, but I don't know you if you don't have the chance to meet you.
We can meet in this vast sea of people and sit together and chat for so long, so the fate between me and Miss Lingling is naturally quite deep."
...
Not long after the two chatted, Xiaoyu returned to the tea shop with a bamboo basket in her arms and panted.
In the bamboo basket in his hand, there were a few braised dishes and a pot of Huadiao wine.
After the three of them had arranged the wine and food, they immediately sat around the table. After pouring a glass of wine for Xuanyuan Lingling, Chen Bing immediately picked up his glass and toasted Xuanyuan Lingling and said, "Miss Lingling has just come to the humble house, but I am so careless about it.
Uh... This glass of wine is considered as an apology to Miss Lingling. I will respect you first."
After Chen Bing said this, he immediately raised his head and instantly drank the wine in his glass.
Xuanyuan Lingling hurriedly said, "Miss Chen Bing is so polite. The folk girl is prone to bothering her, but she has caused some trouble to Miss Chen Bing. Even if she wants to apologize, then it should be that the folk girl apologized to the girl?"
Chen Bing waved his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Since Miss Lingling is a friend of Brother Meng, I naturally cannot neglect it. Uh... In the meaning of the Immortal, it is better for Miss Lingling to stay in a humble house for a few days and stay for the store to close in the evening. I cook myself and make a few decent dishes for Miss Lingling, so that I can do my best to be a landlord."
"Next time I have the chance, the girl will come to Miss Chen Bing to ask for a meal." Xuanyuan Lingling smiled and shook her head. At this time, Chen Bing signaled Xuanyuan Lingling to activate the chopsticks to eat the dishes. Xuanyuan Lingling immediately picked up a piece of braised meat and put it in his mouth. After chewing it carefully, he nodded and praised: "Well, the braised food purchased by Sister Xiaoyu is really good."
Xiaoyu was appreciative when she heard Xuanyuan Lingling, and she was happy. She nodded happily and said, "Sister doesn't know that there is a braised dish in our western suburbs market, which is a family-born craft.
It is said that Cai Derui, the great-grandfather of the boss Cai, was once an imperial chef in the palace. At an imperial chef evaluation competition at that time, Cai Derui made a delicious dish with his unique secret recipe and won the kings of the time to cheer him in public.
Later, many chefs came to visit Cai Derui and worshipped Cai Derui and intended to learn Cai Derui's secret recipe of braised ingredients, but they all failed.
It turned out that Cai Derui was very thoughtful. When he was in the limelight, he was afraid that the Cai family would fall into trouble one day and cause their descendants to be frozen and hungry.
Therefore, Cai Derui passed this unique secret recipe to the descendants of the Cai family. In order to prevent outsiders from stealing the secret recipe, Cai Derui personally established a ancestral teaching. Among each generation of descendants, only two talented ones were selected to be qualified to inherit the unique secret recipe of the Cai family.
But it was just a message and no written record was left. Therefore, the outside world could not have any skills, and only the descendants of the Cai family could make such delicious food."
Xuanyuan Lingling was excited when she heard this, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I didn't expect that in your western suburbs, there was a bit of hidden dragons and creeping tigers."
Chen Bing nodded and said, "Miss Lingling is right. Most of our western suburbs markets are industries passed down from ancestors. And there are some shops that not only inherit the ancestral craftsmanship of the previous generation, but also constantly strive for excellence and innovation in the process of inheritance.
Therefore, many guests from afar who came from afar came to our western suburbs market to buy the items they needed."
Xuanyuan Lingling nodded and said, "So that's it."
Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows and laughed: "My cousin's tea shop was also passed down from her ancestors. Is it possible that my cousin's real skills just now?"
Xuanyuan Lingling immediately nodded and smiled: "No wonder the pastry made by Miss Chen Bing is so delicious. It turns out that it is a ancestral craft."
After hearing Xuanyuan Lingling's praise, Chen Bing immediately turned red and said shyly: "Miss Lingling laughs."
Xiaoyu bit a piece of braised pork and chewed it while saying, "The rose tea that Xiaoyu made for her sister just now is also the secret recipe passed down from my cousin's family."
Xuanyuan Lingling said: "No wonder, the flower tea brewed by your tea shop is unique, and it makes people feel aftertaste after drinking it."
Chen Bing shyly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a large piece of pig's trotter, put it in Xuanyuan Lingling's bowl, and said, "Girl, hurry up and taste this Cai family braised dish."
The three of them talked and laughed, and the effort of a meal passed quickly.
...
After lunch, Xuanyuan Lingling said goodbye to Chen Bing and Xiaoyu, and then stood up and left.
Chen Bing sent Xuanyuan Lingling to the door alone, while Xiaoyu, under Chen Bing's intentional arrangement, reluctantly packed up the miscellaneous items on the table and looked at the door from time to time.
After all, he had just gotten familiar with Xuanyuan Lingling, but Xuanyuan Lingling was about to leave, and his cousin didn't let her see her off.
Xiaoyu felt depressed and lost interest in working. She looked depressed and wiped the table weakly.
Chen Bing sent Xuanyuan Lingling to the horse-tied stake, and Xuanyuan Lingling untied the reins of Lu Bao. Chen Bing stared at Xuanyuan Lingling's back and suddenly said, "Can you take me to find him?"
Xuanyuan Lingling was stunned when she heard this and said in her heart: "Is this Miss Chen Bing secretly affection for Brother Ze? No, no...
Brother Ze is my fiancé..."
In an instant, Xuanyuan Lingling felt a tide of thoughts and felt mixed feelings. After a long silence, Xuanyuan Lingling finally shook her head at Chen Bing.
