Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 92: Peach Blossoms
Before he had time to react, Ning Xi was picked up and thrown on the shore. There was a series of "thumping" sounds of falling into the water. The men in black jumped into the water to chase the gangster. Ning Xi lay on the ground and slammed into the water. He coughed and suddenly felt a big palm patted his back.
Ning Xi pushed him away: "You don't have to be kind!"
Jun Qianyu didn't speak, Ning Xi began to cry, from sobbing softly at first, to crying loudly after all.
Jun Qianyu sat down beside her with a headache. Anyway, she was soaking wet, and she didn't care about the muddy water or not: "Don't cry, is it okay?"
"Tell me that I'm all right? I'm about to die of fright!" Ning Xi cried.
"Why, why do I get so unlucky every time I meet you? I'm just an ordinary commoner who just wants to live in peace and quiet. The battles in your court have nothing to do with me. Why do you always Do you want to involve me? I'm very scared, I'm afraid you know it. I beg you, don't show up in front of me again, okay? Just let me live my own life well, okay?" Ning Xi cried like this, in fact, because of the previous incident with Xi Shi Ru, all the emotions accumulated and suddenly broke out.
She also knew that she was a little vexatious this time. Today, this incident was just an accident. She couldn't blame him, but girls, when they get angry, how can they manage so much!
Jun Qianyu took off his robe and put it on Ningxi: "Let's go, go back first and talk about it."
Ning Xi snorted and went back to the place where he lived with him. Fortunately, it was dark and not many people noticed her.
Meng Shuangshuang was shocked when she saw Ning Xi like this: "What's going on?"
Ning Xi shook her head with red eyes: "I accidentally fell into the water."
Meng Shuangshuang naturally saw that Jun Qianyu was only wearing a half-dry underwear, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Yu, for saving us Ningxi this time. "
"No need, you take good care of her, I'll go back first."
"Please walk slowly."
Meng Shuangshuang politely sent Jun Qianyu away, turned around and hurriedly pulled Ning Xi into the room: "What's wrong with you? How did you do it? Hurry up and soak it in hot water, I'll let you Brother Rong is going to make **** soup, don't catch a cold."
"It's okay, I just fell into the water accidentally."
"Why is King Yu so coincidentally here?"
"He loves to run around, how do I know!" Ning Xi's small temper came up again.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask, take off your wet clothes."
Ningxi drank **** soup after taking a bath and asked Meng Shuangshuang to dry her hair: "Shuangshuang, how about we don't go back to the capital?"
Meng Shuangshuang was taken aback: "What?"
"Let's start over somewhere else."
"Why? If we don't go back, what about Sungai Tower, what about the food truck business, and Ozawa?"
"I've thought about it, the business is handed over to Brother Rong, and the money earned is enough for Ozawa to study until he is admitted. However, if you don't want to leave the capital, Shuangshuang, then you can go back with Brother Rong. , take good care of Shuangxi Tower, and in two years, you will be able to save a lot of dowry for yourself, if you meet the right person, you can get married and live a good life with your husband and son!" Ning Xi said .
Meng Shuangshuang suddenly threw the cloth in her hand to Ning Xi and said angrily: "You unconscionable, I still treat you as the best sister, that's how you treat me? You want to leave me behind. , and fly away alone?"
"No!" Ning Xi said hurriedly, "I don't even know where I'm going, and if you follow me, you will have to endure hardships again, maybe you have to start over by setting up a street stall in the night market. "
"I don't care. Wherever you go, I'm going too. But Ningxi, what happened to you, why did you suddenly become so negative? Are you really willing to go to the capital? Then It’s something we’ve worked so hard to get, and Ozawa, he’s so dependent on us, he’ll come back to see us every time the academy goes out, and treat us like our own sisters, so you have the heart to leave him like this?” Meng? Both are excited.
"Shuangshuang!" Ning Xi hugged her head with both hands, looking very painful, "I, I dare not cook the dish I drew in the cooking competition!"
"What?" Meng Shuangshuang suddenly became quiet, unable to believe that Ning Xi, who had always been full of confidence and seemed omnipotent, actually said such a sentence, she dared not do it? Are there still dishes in this world that she dare not cook?
Ning Xi hugged Meng Shuangshuang and cried: "That dish is puffer fish. Puffer fish is highly poisonous, but a qualified chef can use puffer fish to make completely non-toxic but extremely delicious dishes. Nothing was wrong, but why, why..." Ning Xi couldn't continue.
Meng Shuangshuang asked in horror, "Could it be that someone was poisoned by eating the puffer fish you made?"
Ning Xi nodded sadly: "Yes."
"That person..." Meng Shuangshuang asked cautiously, "Is he still alive?"
Ning Xi shook her head: "Dead."
Meng Shuangshuang suddenly stood up and said loudly, "If you don't dare to do it, don't do it! There are thousands of delicious foods in the world, why should you keep staring at the puffer fish? That person deserves it. If you don’t eat anything delicious and non-toxic, what kind of puffer fish are you going to eat? Isn’t this trying to kill yourself?”
Ning Xi almost burst into laughter when she said it, yes, there are so many delicious foods in the world, what can she do wrong, why did she have to make a puffer fish and poison herself to death?
"Ningxi, let's not participate in the Lao Shizi cooking competition. When Big Brother Rong finishes the competition, we will go back to the capital. It's not worth it to give up everything that we have worked so hard for!"
Ning Xi felt a little better when she said what was on her mind. She knew that Meng Shuangshuang would definitely not be able to accept the sudden decision to leave, and she didn't want to let her wander outside with her anymore. Then slowly figure it out.
After a sleep, Ning Xi's mood was much calmer. The next day, Meng Shuangshuang personally accompanied Ning Xi to talk about her withdrawal from the competition. The organizers were very surprised. Ning Xi, a fifteen-year-old girl, was a chef Such superb skills are unheard of in the culinary world, and Ning Xi has a good chance of winning in this final. They have long been ready to publicize it, and returning to the capital in the future will also be their achievement. , maybe he can be promoted to rank for this reason!
So naturally no one dared to take the lead in agreeing to Ning Xi's request. Finally, she reported to King Yu, and Jun Qianyu was also surprised. This little girl has always been obsessed with cooking. Given such an opportunity, she should have actively participated in it. That's right, such a sudden exit can't be because of stage fright, right?
Jun Qianyu stood up and wanted to personally go over and ask her why she wanted to quit, but when she thought of the way she cried yesterday, she kept saying that she didn't want to see her again, and suddenly stopped It's okay, let's not bother her anymore. Since she doesn't want to participate, so what if her wish is fulfilled: "Then bring up the fifth place in the semi-finals to draw lots!"
The fifth place in the semi-finals is You Zhenniang. Although she did not enter the finals, it is naturally impossible to miss such a grand event, so she stayed here and waited to watch the finals. The organizers of the competition found her and let her When she went to draw lots, she was still at a loss and couldn't understand what was going on.
Later, I found out that Ning Xi had withdrawn from the competition.
After talking about the retirement, Meng Shuangshuang took Ningxi to eat delicious food: "I heard that there is a 'Peach Blossom Flowing Water' restaurant by the river, specializing in fresh fish, the taste is very good, let's try it. !”
"It's not good for us to leave Big Brother Rong alone to eat good food!" Ning Xi hesitated.
"He is now thinking about the dishes of the cooking competition every day, so he doesn't care about us!" Meng Shuangshuang saw that Ning Xi was still hesitating, so he patted the purse on his waist, "Don't worry, this time I will definitely be If you have enough money, you won't be allowed to stay in that job to pay for the vegetables."
Ning Xi laughed: "Okay, let's go!"
When I arrived at the restaurant, I chose a seat on the second floor by the window. The restaurant faces the river, and the view from the window is the beautiful scenery on the river. The water is wide and makes people feel relaxed and happy.
There were three or five fishing boats on the river, and some fishermen were casting nets to catch fish. Meng Shuangshuang remembered the saying about "lost soul fish" last time in Tongxing Lou Ningxi, so he called Xiao Er: "Your family When was the fish caught?"
Little Er pointed to a piece of water outside the window: "Do you see the fishing net over there? The area enclosed by the fishing net is owned by our restaurant. On weekdays, the fish brought by the fishing boats are stocked in the river. After ordering the dishes, they will be caught, slaughtered and cooked now, and it will never take more than half an hour from the time the fish is out of the water to the time it is served, to ensure freshness.”
"Then I really have to give it a try." Meng Shuangshuang asked Ning Xi to order, and Ning Xi looked at the menu and ordered a few items casually.
After a while, I really saw someone from the window wearing a water pad and going into the water to fish.
Soon the dishes they ordered came up, a bighead carp tofu soup with milky white soup, a fish ball with crab flour, and the bottom of the plate was lined with spinach with bright green oil, making the meatballs look as beautiful as jade, and steamed Sea bass and fried carp, although the method is simple, the ingredients are fresh and the taste is very delicious.
What's even better is a plate of raw water chestnuts that come with the dish. The water chestnuts have been peeled off, and they are exquisite and snow-white.
The two were enjoying their meal when they suddenly saw two familiar figures coming upstairs. One of them was one of the judges of the cooking competition. After the preliminary round and the rematch, Ning Xi was also familiar with these judges. There is also a fat man Chen Dexiang, a local tyrant who was selected for the final with them.
