Chapter 35 The Unexpected Visitor

When he returned to the kitchen, Geng Po was staring at the knife in a daze, and said after a long while: "From now on, you will use this knife to chop vegetables, and when your chopping skills can reach half of what I just did, even if the vegetables are chopped Shaolin saber technique, you can fight with me for a few more rounds." Then, he handed the saber to Xue Chang.

Xue Chang took it solemnly without hesitation, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Geng, for your fulfillment! I will definitely work harder to use it to cut vegetables well, and get familiar with and master the characteristics of the knife as soon as possible."

"It's good that you know it, but you can't be lazy!" Geng Po reminded with some heartache: "Also—you must take good care of this knife, and don't break it, otherwise I will let you know mine sharp!"

"Understood." Xue Chang smiled slightly: After getting along with each other for this period of time, he found that Geng Po is a person with a cold face and a warm heart.

............................................................................................................

Xue Chang's life is still the same as usual, practicing martial arts, working, telling stories, leading apprentices to practice martial arts... The difference is that the early morning sparring is no longer a hand-to-hand combat, but a competition of sword skills.And Xue Chang worked more seriously, and even took the initiative to work overtime.

Day by day, Xue Chang's chivalry value in the system is also continuously decreasing. Fortunately, under his guidance, Xue Chang and Fan Mastiff do some good deeds from time to time, such as donating food to the poor and helping diners with disabilities to sit down ...so that the chivalrous value can be supplemented to maintain the needs of Xue Chang's systematic training.

During the time he stayed in the restaurant, Xue Chang discovered that the reason why Geng Po was able to provide him with various ingredients for making modern dishes was because from time to time someone offered to deliver the goods to his door, fishermen, hunters, farmers...they provided a lot of ingredients You can't find them in grocery stores in town.

Xue Chang and Hu Qiudi knew in private chats that most of these delivery people were the sons of Geng Po's old friends and had received a lot of help from him, but Geng Po kept refusing their returns, and finally they had to choose this way to repay , but Geng Po insisted on paying a lot more each time the delivery was made... This gave Xue Chang a new understanding of Geng Po.

Of course, it is a pity that Geng Po personally receives the delivery people every time they come to the door. Xue Chang has no chance to meet these delivery people who are "very good at martial arts" according to Hu Qiudi.

In the early morning of this day, after watching the duel between the master and Geng Po as usual, Fan Mastiff and Xu Xi tidied up the lobby of the restaurant and were about to open for business.

He unbolted the latch and pushed open the thick wooden door.

Longmen Town is located by the river, and it is foggy in the morning, and today is no exception, and it is thicker than before. Although the sun has shone, the fog has not dissipated.And because it is late autumn, winter is approaching, and the weather is getting colder, so even though it is late, there are still few pedestrians on the street, and it seems that there will be no guests for a while.

Fan Mastiff turned back to enter the store.

"Step! Step! Step!..." A burst of melodic hooves sounded very clearly.

After a while, a carriage emerged from the misty mist in the distance, and soon stopped in front of the restaurant.

This is a carriage for people, the appearance is very ordinary, but the two white pack horses are tall and handsome, they look very handsome.

Fan Mastiff was delighted to see Lie, and stood where he was and looked at him carefully.

The old coachman dressed as a farmer turned his head, looked at him, and said, "Is Genpo there? His old friend is visiting, please go out and greet him!"

The coachman was quite rude, and Fan Mastiff was usually very good at business, and he felt uncomfortable at the moment, but although the old man's face was wrinkled, his eyes were radiant, and Fan Mastiff felt flustered when he saw it. He couldn't help throwing The next sentence: "Wait a moment." Then he hurried back to the restaurant.

After hearing this, Geng Po's expression changed slightly, and he immediately left the kitchen.

Curious in his heart, Xue Chang also followed, wanting to see the excitement.

When Geng Po came to the door, he saw the coachman with his back turned to him, standing in front of the hood, whispering something to the people in the carriage, his thin back gave Geng Po a strange sense of familiarity, and he couldn't wait He asked, "Excuse me—"

"Xiao Geng, long time no see!" The driver turned around and said with a smile.

Although the voice was soft, it sounded like a huge thunder in Geng Po's ears. His expression changed drastically, he looked straight at the other party, and walked forward quickly. When he was about to approach the other party, he realized something, stopped in a hurry, "boom" With a bang, he knelt down on one knee, bowed his hands respectfully, and said excitedly: "General Ye——"

The driver looked old, but his movements were quite nimble. He immediately took a step forward and supported him with both hands: "Get up, get up, you and I are ordinary people now, just call us normal."

Geng Po understood, stood up, and said excitedly and emotionally: "Ye... Mr. Ye, we haven't seen each other for 30 years, I didn't expect you to still look the same!"

"It's old, it's useless." The old man shook his head and said meaningfully: "It's you, I haven't seen you in these years, and you have gained a lot of weight. Back then you insisted on staying and didn't want to go to the Western Regions. I don’t understand, and I almost used force with you. I once reprimanded them and said, “Cooks are people who value love and righteousness, and they will never forget their roots!” I heard some time ago that you took good care of those orphans. I am very pleased!"

"...Thank you, Mr. Ye, for taking care of and protecting me all the time!" Geng Po, who was almost 60 years old, choked up when he said this.

Ye Lao held his hand and shook it vigorously to show comfort, and then said softly: "I came to see you this time mainly because I want you to meet someone."

"Who is it?" Geng Po asked hurriedly.

Ye Lao turned around and bowed to the carriage: "Miss, Geng Po is here."

Surprised to see Ye Lao's respectful appearance, Geng Po's heart trembled again, and he suddenly remembered a rumor.

"Third Grandpa, I've said it many times, you are an elder, you don't have to be like this, why don't you listen?!" A voice came out from inside the carriage. It was deep and hoarse, not like a female voice, but also different from a male voice. The special magnetism is extremely attractive to people's ears.

"Etiquette cannot be broken." Although Ye Lao's voice was low, his tone was firm.

"Alas..." There was a sigh from inside the carriage, like a melancholy and low-pitched harp singing, which made Xue Chang, who was standing not far away watching, couldn't help but be drawn to the heartstrings, making him even more curious about what kind of character would be in the carriage.

A flamboyant hand opened the curtain of the car, and a woman came out. She was tall and graceful, wearing a goose-yellow skirt. .

She stood in front of the carriage, still holding the curtain with her hand, and another woman came out of the carriage.

She was wearing a lavender skirt and a red brocade robe. Her hair was like clouds, twisted and coiled, knotted on the top of her head, and a golden step was inserted obliquely. Her face was covered with a white veil. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, her skin Bullying Xue Saishuang, with a smooth and full forehead, eyebrows like crescent moons, eyes shining like stars, and a clean and spiritual air in the noble and luxurious temperament.

She took two steps forward, smiled sweetly, and the gray sky suddenly brightened due to the morning fog: "This is Uncle Geng, right? The third grandfather often mentioned you to me, and my niece Ye Ziqiong is so polite!" The voice was right It was the voice from the carriage before, she said, bowing her hands respectfully, this seemingly ordinary etiquette was done by this elegant and vulgar girl, but it narrowed the distance with Geng Po and others a little .

Surname Ye! ...Geng Po's heart was shaken again, and he kept saying: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be..." But he looked suspiciously at Ye Lao who was next to him.

"Miss, let's go in and talk about the old days." Ye Lao suggested to Ye Ziqiong without looking at him.

"Okay." Ye Ziqiong nodded, looking behind Geng Po with a pair of water-cutting autumn eyes, and glanced at the three masters and apprentices Xue Chang who were staring at her in a daze, and asked curiously: "Uncle Geng, these are the ones you adopted. Orphans?"

"No, they are all my restaurant's buddies." Geng Po said, turning around and shouting at Xue Chang and the others: "Hurry up and go to work, what are you doing outside!"

Fan Mastiff and Xu Xi rushed into the store like rabbits, but Xue Chang walked in calmly.

"Wait a minute!" the woman in the yellow skirt said suddenly.
