Rebirth: I Didn't Expect to Be a Scholar

After riding for 15 minutes, the bike stopped at the gate of a courtyard. Liu Yanming jumped off the bike and looked up at the gate.

The door is three meters high and made of walnut wood. Mountains, water, pines, cypresses, and cranes are carved on the door, forming a picture of wild cranes in the clouds, which is very elegant.

Xiao Chengmin parked his bicycle, stepped forward and opened the gate, which was not locked.

The door creaked open.

Liu Yanming saw the sea of ​​rose flowers at a glance.

Red, pink, and yellow flowers are in full bloom one by one, and under the shining of the setting sun, they are dyed with a layer of orange gauze, just like a group of girls who still hold pipas and half cover their faces.

Liu Yanming stared blankly at the sea of ​​rose flowers, already fascinated, "It's so beautiful"

Xiao Chengmin bent his lips, a smile appeared in his eyes, he lowered his head and approached his ear, and whispered, "A Ming, is it beautiful?"

Liu Yanming nodded blankly, Xiao Chengmin looked at his obsessed face, and didn't say anything later.

not as beautiful as you

"Let's go to another place to have a look. This is the vestibule, and you can walk through this path to the middle room. There are also roses planted on both sides of the middle room, which are roses with relatively rare colors."

Xiao Chengmin led Liu Yanming along the path to the middle room, and introduced it softly while watching.

Going around the middle room, Liu Yanming saw another field of rose flowers.

The rose flowers planted in this field are all rare colors, including white, blue, purple, black, and light green. They are really beautiful.

There is a clear difference between this rose flower field and the rose flower sea in the vestibule.

The rose flowers here are obviously carefully cared for. The flower branches are arranged neatly, the distance between the flowers is consistent, and the petals look very delicate.

The sea of ​​rose flowers on the other side is growing wantonly, with flowers and branches in large clusters.The posture of the flowers blooming is also full of wantonness.

"The rose flowers you gave me that day belonged to this field." Liu Yanming squatted down, looked closer, and saw a half-cut branch stuck in the field.

"Well, that one is the prettiest!" Xiao Chengmin looked at the person squatting on the ground with gentle eyes.

Liu Yanming raised his head, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The carefully cultivated Chinese rose has been picked, didn't your grandfather scold you?"

"He was very angry. On the way I was going to send you flowers, he called me and scolded me. When he came back, he punished me for copying the ancestral teachings. He took me to be an assistant when he received an event in City F temporarily, and met the teacher in the laboratory by chance. I was attracted by the parallel space they researched, so I took the time to listen to their lectures." Xiao Chengmin explained seriously.

Liu Yanming stood up and met his eyes, "Do you want to do research in the future?"

Xiao Chengmin shook his head lightly, "I can't tell, I just like what they are studying." After thinking for a while, he added, "If I walk a different path in the future, will Ah Ming support me?"

Liu Yanming blinked and smiled, "As your friend, I will definitely support you!", the word 'friend' was deliberately emphasized.

Hearing this word, Xiao Chengmin's eyes showed a trace of depression, who wants to be friends with you!

Liu Yanming snickered in his heart, without giving you a little stimulation, how could he see your next wonderful performance.

Xiao Chengmin cheered up again, "Let's go inside. My grandfather is practicing calligraphy in the study room. The study room is soundproof so we can't hear the movement outside."

"Okay." Liu Yanming followed him into the room with a smile.

"Sit down first, I'll get you a glass of water." Xiao Chengmin ran into the kitchen courteously.

Liu Yanming sat on the sofa and looked around.

The sofa is carved of wood, covered with soft cushions; there is a screen at the door, and on the screen are written four big characters "peace and distance"; there are many calligraphy and paintings on the wall, which seem to be famous artists; beside the wall are vases And bookshelves, the bookshelves are full of books, this room looks very elegant, without any electrical appliances.

He stood up and went to the bookshelf, wanting to see what books were on the shelves, but saw a black Buddha statue, and took a closer look, this Buddha statue was exactly the same as his own Buddha pendant, only one big and one small.

Liu Yanming was about to take out his own Buddha pendant from his neck for comparison, when a male voice interrupted him.

"Chengmin, come out and help me move things!"

Hearing this, Liu Yanming walked out of the house, and Xiao Chengmin followed suit.

"Huh, you are?" Liu Lesheng looked at Liu Yanming, always feeling that he was a bit out of harmony.

"Uncle, he is my friend, Liu Yanming!" Xiao Chengmin emphasized the word 'friend'.

Liu Lesheng was taken aback for a moment, and he recovered after a while, could it be him?

"Hello, Liu Yanming, I'm Chengmin's uncle, you can just call me uncle after him."

As soon as Liu Yanming saw Liu Lesheng, he was a little surprised, and immediately covered up his emotions, neither uncle nor nephew noticed his strangeness.

The boss turned out to be Chengmin's uncle!

Liu Yanming couldn't help feeling that the world is really small.

Liu Lesheng will be the owner of Mingyang Pavilion, a famous restaurant in Huaguo in the future. At the age of 22, Liu Yanming passed various exemptions and entered Mingyang Pavilion to work, becoming the chef's side dish assistant. At the age of 23, through continuous research and experimentation, it took him a year to create a new dish that caused a sensation in Huaguo - the ever-changing fish and dragon, which won the Huaguo Golden Kitchen Knife Award. At the age of 24, he became the sous chef of Mingyang Pavilion and began to cook special dishes named after himself. At the age of 26, the 63-year-old head chef was going home to recuperate and recommended him as the head chef.

There are five sous chefs, and only one head chef position. There are too many monks and few meats, and no one will obey anyone.There was a culinary competition in the pavilion, and No.1 became the head chef. After three rounds of competition, Liu Yanming became the youngest chef in Mingyang Pavilion.

At the age of 27, the world held an international food competition, and Liu Yanming, who prepared new dishes for it, sacrificed himself bravely

After staying in Mingyang Pavilion for five years, he has also had a lot of contact with the boss Liu Lesheng. He knows that the boss is crooked, and he also knows that the boss's other half is very mysterious and powerful. The most important thing is that the smell of vinegar is very strong!

He was awarded Huaguo's Golden Kitchen Knife Award. Liu Lesheng patted him on the shoulder and gave him a few words of encouragement. In the end, he was banned from knives by the restaurant manager for three days.

Liu Yanming was speechless and puzzled. The supervisor admired Liu Yanming very much, but couldn't see it, so he secretly told him the truth.

Only then did he understand why sometimes some staff in the restaurant were suspended for inexplicable reasons.

After being speechless for a long time, he immediately made up his mind to keep a distance from Liu Lesheng, and was shot for no reason, really helpless.

Liu Lesheng smiled and said, "I dug out a pear-blossom table in the street, it's the work of Master Meng Yu. It's a bit heavy, Cheng Min, you and I carry it in together."

"I'll help you too." Liu Yanming smiled and walked towards the back door with them.

After exiting the back door, a tricycle was parked at the door. On the tricycle was a double chair with a height of more than one meter and a length of two meters. The chair was a bit old, and the carvings on it were extremely delicate and vivid. You can tell at a glance that it was made by a famous artist.

"Liu Yanming, you lift over there, Cheng Min, you lift here, I lift here, I count one, two, three, let's lift it down first."

The three stood in their positions, holding the handles of the chairs with their hands.

Liu Lesheng gave the order, "One, two, three! Let's go!"

The wooden carved chair was slowly lifted and moved to the ground little by little.

"Phew, this guy is really heavy. At least it weighs more than 130 kilograms. The guys in the shop said that it takes two strong men to lift it up. It's not bragging." Liu Lesheng kicked the chair leg.

Xiao Chengmin asked in a deep voice, "Why are you buying this?"

When Liu Lesheng heard this, his face became angry, "If it wasn't for you, would I have bought this thing? It cost me a lot of money! I have to plan ahead, so as not to take the time to vent my anger on me! "

Xiao Chengmin gave a dry cough, and secretly glanced at Liu Yanming.

Liu Yanming kept smiling the whole time, and he really didn't understand what they said.

"Let's carry it in." Xiao Chengmin immediately changed the subject.

Liu Lesheng rolled his eyes at his nephew, bent down and supported an armrest of the chair.

Liu Yanming and Xiao Chengmin also bent down and got ready.

The three of them lifted the carved wooden chair together and quickly moved it into the room.

After finally moving into the house, Liu Lesheng sat down on the carved wooden chair and exhaled, "It's really heavy. If I knew it earlier, I would have asked Awei to move it in. I can move it in by myself."

"This is the tea I made just now. I'm going to wash some fruit." Xiao Chengmin ignored his uncle and ran into the kitchen again.

Liu Lesheng glanced at his nephew's courteous behavior, sneered and said to himself, "That's all."

As soon as Xiao Chengmin left, Liu Lesheng rolled his eyes, and immediately moved from the carved chair to his side.

Liu Lesheng gossiped: "How did you and Chengmin meet?"

When Liu Yanming saw the boss from the previous life approaching, he reflexively tried to avoid it, moved his butt to the side, and stopped immediately.

He smiled dryly and said vaguely: "This matter is a bit complicated. My mother and his mother are good friends. They met each other when they were young."

Liu Lesheng nodded after hearing this, and secretly sighed in his heart, he didn't expect Chengmin to be so precocious when he was a child.

He glanced at his nephew who was busy in the kitchen, lowered his voice, "What do you think of Cheng Min?"

Liu Yanming's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that Chengmin had already told him.

He smiled and said, "Chengmin is a nice person."

"Then what do you think is good about him?" Liu Lesheng continued to ask.

He thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "Handsome, smart, helpful, sincere and kind to friends, I feel very honored to be his friend."

Liu Yanming's expression didn't change at all, as if he and I were good friends.

After hearing these words, Liu Lesheng carefully observed his expression, and a disappointed expression appeared on his face.

It seems that he has no other intentions for Chengmin, and Chengmin still has a long way to go.

Liu Yanming, who had been observing Liu Lesheng's expression, silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart, yeah, it's over!

Xiao Chengmin came out of the kitchen with a fruit plate, put the fruit plate on the wooden table, took out an apple from the plate and handed it to Liu Yanming, "Ming, eat the apple."

Liu Yanming smiled and reached out to take it.

Liu Lesheng looked down at the fruit plate, "Why are they all apples? I remember there were bananas in the kitchen."

"A Ming likes to eat apples, not bananas." Xiao Chengmin explained to his uncle solemnly.

Liu Lesheng, who likes to eat bananas: What else can I say?

"What are you doing here?" Liu Mengyu came out of the study after practicing calligraphy.

She has silver hair all over her head, combed very carefully without any mess, her eyes are sunken deep in the eye sockets, and her eyes are piercing.

He looked very old, but he still walked vigorously. He had a very serious face, and he looked a bit rigid.

"Dad, have you finished practicing calligraphy?" Liu Leshan stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Liu Mengyu asked his son with a straight face, "You're the only one here after practice? Where's Xiao Mo?"

Liu Lesheng smiled and said, "Awei has gone to country Y. Dad, this is Chengmin's friend Liu Yanming, and he is coming to play at home today."

Liu Mengyu nodded, this is the first time Chengmin brought friends back, well, don't be too strict and scare the children.

His face softened slightly and he said gently: "Little friend, I'm Chengmin's grandfather, don't be restrained when you come here, let Chengmin show you around."

Liu Yanming immediately stood up and said humbly, "Thank you, Grandpa."

"A Ming, I'll take you to grandpa's study, you should like it." Xiao Chengmin immediately got up and took him to the study.

As soon as the two left, Liu Lesheng immediately supported his father, walked to the wooden chair, offered the treasure and said, "Dad, look what good things I brought you."

"Pear blossom wood chair?" Liu Mengyu bent down and groped for the pattern on the chair with his hands. "Master Meng Yu's work seems to be genuine."

Liu Lesheng quickly echoed, "Dad, you have good eyesight. That's what the store manager said when I saw it."

Liu Mengyu nodded, with fondness in his eyes, "I still need to take a closer look, maybe it's the real thing."

Liu Lesheng secretly laughed in his heart, if it's not the real thing, I can get it in front of you?

Liu Yanming looked at the calligraphy hanging on the table and exclaimed, "I didn't expect your grandfather to be Liu Mengyu, a master of Chinese studies."

Xiao Chengmin came to his side and stared at his grandfather's calligraphy. After looking at it for a few minutes, he suddenly said seriously to the people around him: "I can also do calligraphy. I will write a few sentences now. Please help me to read it."

Liu Yanming was startled, looked at his serious expression, couldn't help but pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Okay, let's say it first, in order not to make you proud, I won't praise you."

He nodded, and walked to another small table, on which calligraphy tools and a seal were already placed.

Liu Yanming picked up the seal and looked at it, "Is this table for you to practice calligraphy?"

Xiao Chengmin nodded, spread the rice paper on the felt, turned his face, looked at him with bright eyes, "A Ming, can you grind the ink for me?"

Liu Yanming smiled and shook his head, "I don't know how to grind ink."

"I'll teach you!" Xiao Chengmin answered immediately.

"Then you might as well grind the ink yourself, hurry up." Liu Yanming glanced at him, and he could see his thoughts at a glance.
