315 The Orphan
315 Dying to entrust an orphan
“That’s the best.”
Although Ye Feng didn't know why the girl suddenly changed her attitude and was willing to give in to her, he didn't think much about it. He couldn't help but look forward to it when he learned that the girl was going to cook for him.
Ye Feng had already seen that neither the old man who runs a wine shop nor the big beef who is good at working, he would be a cooker. The side dishes in front of him must have been made by this girl.
Just a few simple cold dishes are cooked so delicious. I believe this girl’s cooking skills must be very good, and the hot dishes she makes must be even more delicious.
Seeing this, the girl smiled secretly and said, "It makes you proud. Although the dishes I cook are good, I won't cook them well for you. I deliberately made them very unpleasant. It depends on how you can laugh."
After being fussed like this by the girl, the old man didn't dare to drink anymore, but because he was a little apology, he did not leave, but started chatting with Ye Feng.
"Since the business is so good, why don't you hire more people and brew more spiritual wine?" Ye Feng pondered slightly and expressed his doubts.
"Young Master doesn't know that although the good wine in the small shop has been ordered, the business is not good. Because the young lord of the city who set the wine not only gave a low price, he also did not allow others to buy good wine, nor allowed the store to sell good wine to others. Therefore, the small shop has no financial resources at all and dares to ask more people to brew more spiritual wine." The old man smiled bitterly.
"So that's the case. That young city lord is domineering, but why did he do this? Do you have a grudge against you?" Ye Feng suddenly realized and was a little puzzled.
"The young city lord is the number one playboy in the city. He has always bullied men and dominated women and does everything he wants. He opened a restaurant and only went to his restaurant to drink the spiritual wine he bought. Not only did he attract business, but he could also make a lot of money on spiritual wine. If the store could operate normally, his plan would not be successful, so he naturally would not agree." The old man did not expect this foreign Qi Refining Cultivator who had never known each other to help, but being able to express his depression in his heart could make him feel more comfortable, so he hesitated and continued.
"He can indeed earn a lot of spirit stones by doing this, but it is not a long-term solution. Wouldn't he be worried that your wine shop will not be able to operate and that his restaurant will lose its source of good wine?" Ye Feng said in confusion.
"The young city lord not only wants to monopolize the source of good wine, but also wants to get the spiritual wine recipe passed down by my family. He also wants to occupy my granddaughter Yuner by the way. Naturally, he doesn't care whether our store can support it. He even hopes that the sooner the store will close, the better, so that I will know his power and then submit." The old man sighed sadly.
"It seems that you are injured. Does it have something to do with the young city lord?" Ye Feng said.
"Yes, when the young city lord came for the first time, he planned to steal the little girl away. The old man had no choice but to take action, but he didn't expect that the young city lord had a top-quality magic weapon, so he was seriously injured by him. He has not recovered until now, and it is even getting worse and worse. In order to heal the wound, the wine shop is unable to hold on." The old man nodded, and the big bull next to him showed an indignation.
"So that's it. The young city lord is really too bullying. If your store really goes bankrupt and you die of illness, you will never be able to drink such good wine again. I think it's better to do this. After the food and drink is over, I will come forward to deal with the young city lord for you." Ye Feng pondered slightly.
"Young Master is grateful for the kindness of yourselves, but the young city lord not only has a high-level cultivation and strong strength, but also has many hawks and dogs to protect you. I cannot implicate the young master and lose your life." The old man was slightly stunned, very grateful, but he shook his head firmly and politely expressed his rejection.
Obviously, in the old man's opinion, Ye Feng's cultivation is too low and he will never be the opponent of the young city lord. Even if he makes a move, he will die in vain.
"That's right, you have to show off your ability in the later stage of Qi Refining. That young city lord is a master of Qi Refining Great Perfection. Even if you can dodge the young city lord, you will attract the city lord in the foundation-building stage and many masters in the city lord's mansion. Not only will you not survive, but our wine shop will be implicated by you."
Ye Feng was about to reveal his cultivation level to relieve the old man, but the girl's voice came out again. Ye Feng and others turned around and saw the girl holding a wooden plate.
Eight side dishes were placed on the wooden plate, and the heat was rising, exuding a mouth-watering fragrance. It also looked attractive and very good in color, showing a very superb cooking skill.
"Yun'er, don't be rude, this young man is kind, too." The old man was afraid that Ye Feng would be unhappy, so he quickly shouted.
"What people are telling the truth." The girl was very unhappy, but she did not dare to go against the old man's wishes. She muttered, quickly placed the side dish on the table, and then stood behind the old man with a cold face.
"Young master, don't be surprised. My granddaughter is too young and ignorant. But she is very talented in cooking. You will know if you try these side dishes." The old man looked at Ye Feng and said with apologies.
"It's okay. The father-in-law is here to have a drink together. Anyway, he's alive. It's better to have a little more rest of his life." Ye Feng smiled slightly, didn't care, and invited him again.
Ye Feng had already eaten some cold dishes and thought they were really good. Although they were not as good as famous chefs, they were also very rare. After all, this wine shop is not a big restaurant, and the ingredients and seasonings in it were much worse. Even if the famous chef came, he might not be able to make cold dishes that were better than this girl.
Therefore, Ye Feng is very excited about the hot dishes that the girl has made. Especially, it is quite amazing that the girl can make so many dishes in such a short time.
"Yes, I have no preferences in my life. My favorite is drinking. I feel uncomfortable if I don't drink for a day. Now I'm about to die. Why not drink it and be an alcoholic." The old man was slightly stunned, then laughed happily and immediately expressed his agreement. He was no longer as restrained as before. He obviously understood and saw a lot.
"Whoever says that my grandfather will not die soon." The old man didn't care about Ye Feng's directness, but the girl and the big bull were both angry when they heard this. Of course, they knew the old man's situation in their hearts, but they were still unwilling to admit and accept this fact, and they felt that Ye Feng was very cruel and excessive.
If Ye Feng had not been a guest and had high cultivation, both of them might have rushed forward. However, these two people did not dare to go against the old man's wishes. The old man glared at the two with a serious look, and the two immediately did not dare to speak.
When the old man saw that the girl and the big bull were quiet, Ye Feng was not angry. He then breathed a sigh of relief, smiled apologetically, took a sip of wine, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dish and put it in his mouth.
"Grandpa, don't!"
Seeing this, the girl's face changed suddenly. Then she remembered that she was cooking the dishes for Ye Feng and she could not even savor them. If she hadn't been so angry that she was a little confused by Ye Feng's words before, she wouldn't have allowed the old man to follow Ye Feng's fallacies and eat wine with Ye Feng.
Unfortunately, she was still one step late. When she spoke, the old man's face changed drastically, and he frowned and spit out the dishes in the air.
"What's going on? Why is it so salty? Did you beat the salt to death by Yun'er, so salt is not worth it?" The old man was disappointed and confused.
"I……"
The girl was speechless, but when she saw Ye Feng smiling beside her, she couldn't help but be angry and anxious. At the same time, the old man tasted another dish, but this time she found that the salt was good, but the vinegar was too much, which made the old man's tears sour.
The old man then tried the third dish, which was neither salty nor sour, but it was so spicy that it was hard to swallow, and it was completely out of its usual standard.
"What the hell is going on? This is simply nonsense!" The old man finally couldn't help but get angry. He wanted his granddaughter to apologize to Ye Feng for cooking, and at the same time he could also promote the business, but now it seems that he was a big mistake. Fortunately, the customer did not eat this dish, otherwise he would definitely leave and might even have an attack on the spot.
Even though Ye Feng has not eaten the eight newly prepared dishes, he must have known that the girl is disgusted with it and will definitely be very unhappy. This business is also dangerous, which makes the old man even more embarrassed.
"Grandpa, don't try again, these dishes cannot be eaten. It's because Yun'er doesn't like him and doesn't want to cook for him. She wants to make something a little bit unpleasant and let him get away with it, but she didn't expect that he would let grandpa, you taste it first." The girl knew that she couldn't hide it, so she had to tell the truth.
"This young man has no grudge against you. Why don't you like him? Even if you don't like him, you shouldn't be so rude! You are becoming more and more ignorant. Alas!" The old man was very disappointed and sighed exhausted.
He has been able to support this for his only granddaughter. The only thing that makes him happy is that this granddaughter is quite sensible. Recently, he even goes out early and comes back late every day, brews wine and cleans up overnight. During the day, he goes out to hunt monsters at the risk of his life, earns money and subsidizes the wine shop to heal him at the same time.
It shouldn't be that this granddaughter didn't seem as well-behaved as he thought. This really made him feel very disappointed, as if he had grown up ten years old in an instant.
"Grandpa, don't be sad. It's Yun'er who was wrong. It's Yun'er who went out to hunt today did not gain anything, so she was in a bad mood. Seeing this young master seducing grandpa to drink, she would sit down with impulse and make the wrong thing." Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but hurriedly explain, and at the same time she also cast a begging look at Ye Feng.
Obviously, this girl cared about her grandfather very much. Although she hated Ye Feng very much, she was even more afraid that Ye Feng would expose theft and make her grandfather sad. So she had to endure the disgust, hold a glimmer of hope, and helplessly show her weakness like Ye Feng.
"Don't be angry, old man. I don't think about it, and I can't blame her entirely. I think it's better to do this. Let her make some good dishes again as compensation." Ye Feng said with a smile.
He finally knew that the girl was not kind-hearted in cooking for him, but she was not very interested. After all, he was not killed. Although this girl was too much, she was just a little naughty and had no real intention of harming others, otherwise she would have put poison in the food.
Now the girl's anxious tears were all gone, and she even cast a look of asking for help or admit defeat at him, which was also a lesson.
If he cares about it, it would be too petty.
In particular, he saw that the old man was in danger and was in danger. He must not be too angry, otherwise he would probably die immediately.
He didn't want the old man to die like this. Not to mention some of his relationship with him, it would affect him drinking and selling alcohol. Moreover, the old man is a good person and shouldn't have died just like this.
When the old man saw his granddaughter's pitiful appearance, he heard that Ye Feng would not blame him. He looked a little better, calmed his anger and no longer felt sad, but he still said to the girl with a stern face: "What are you still standing there? Why don't you thank this young man quickly, clean up these dishes, and then make some side dishes again?"
"Young Master, I am really ashamed. I offend you again and again. I will treat the wine as a treat this time." The old man then smiled and looked at Ye Feng and said.
"It's better to obey your orders than respect." Ye Feng said with a smile.
"You're still good at getting a cheaper one!"
The girl wiped away her tears happily. She was quite surprised by Ye Feng's cooperation, and she even felt a little grateful. However, when she heard that Ye Feng wanted to have a free wine, the gratitude immediately disappeared.
However, she didn't dare to make a fuss, so she could only slander Ye Feng in her heart, quietly glared at Ye Feng coldly, and then obediently cleaned up the deliberately bad dishes and went to cook again.
"Young Master, you laugh. I only have this granddaughter, so I can't help but spoil her. But I didn't expect that I will go so soon. I'm really worried about leaving her alone." The old man chatted with Ye Feng while eating this cold dish.
Since the old man was treating him, the old man was no longer restrained. In addition, the old man also saw that Ye Feng was a kind-hearted person in ancient times, otherwise he would not have asked for help before, and would not have forgiven the girl's nonsense again and again.
"I don't think my father-in-law has to worry. As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain. Everyone cannot always take care of others, nor can they always rely on others. I believe this little girl will grow up one day, although before that, she may suffer a little and encounter some twists and turns." Ye Feng smiled slightly.
"With that being said, who would be willing to let the younger generation he loves go through hardships? Especially this hardship is likely to take her life. I have a heartless request, and I don't know whether to speak or not." The old man smiled bitterly, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth.
"Although you and I met by chance, they are still a coincidence. If you need help from me, it's okay to say it." Ye Feng nodded directly, either because he was not afraid. Anyway, he didn't know what the old man had to say. If the old man really made a request to make him embarrassed, he would refuse on the spot.
"I know my life is not long, and the only thing I can't let go is this granddaughter. If the young master doesn't dislike it, it's better to take this girl away from Longquan City than to be ruined by the young city lord. In this way, even if I die immediately, I can rest in peace. To express my gratitude, I am willing to give the recipe of spiritual wine." The old man said with anticipation.
The big bull next to him flashed a hint of surprise and disappointment in his eyes when he heard this. However, he still said nothing. Obviously, the big bull liked the girl, but he knew that his strength was not good, and he had no background. All the conditions were far inferior to Ye Feng. Perhaps Ye Feng was the best destination for the girl.
"This... this doesn't seem to be very good!" Ye Feng was slightly stunned, quite surprised. Ye Feng had imagined many situations, but he did not expect that the old man would entrust the girl to him.
"Does the young master think that my granddaughter is too ugly or not well-behaved?" the old man said in a panic.
"Of course not. Your granddaughter, although not the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, is almost the cutest. Of course, I won't dislike her." Ye Feng shook his head and said.
In fact, what Ye Feng said was the truth. Although this girl targeted Ye Feng many times and stole Ye Feng's things, Ye Feng did not hate her and even had a good impression of her, thinking that she deserves sympathy and is very cute and respectable.
Because Ye Feng already knew that the reason why this girl went out to steal was that her cultivation was not high, was to steal spirit stones and subsidize the wine shop to save her grandfather.
Such behavior not only shows that the girl is very filial, but also shows that the girl is very courageous. After all, not every low-level Qi Refining Cultivator dares to steal the storage bags of the high-level Qi Refining Cultivator.
In addition, the girl's targets of stealing are all seemingly wealthy monks, which also shows that the girl's stealing is selective and has the idea of robbing the rich to help the poor.
The girl's stealing methods, body skills, cooking skills, and disguise skills show that the girl is very talented in some aspects and should be quite smart.
The girl did not choose to escape from the wine shop, did not give up on the old man and the big bull, nor did she agree to the young city lord, which shows that the girl is very principled and self-esteem.
"It's good if the young master doesn't dislike her. In fact, the young master is willing to agree. No matter whether he takes her as an apprentice, wife and concubine, or girl, I will not have any objection." The old man said happily when he heard this.
"Old man, it's just the first time you and I have met. I don't even know the names and origins of both parties. Why do you feel at ease to hand over your granddaughter to me? Are you not worried that I am not a good person and will sell your granddaughter or keep it with you as a cultivation furnace and cauldron?" Ye Feng said in confusion.
The young giant couldn't help but show a look of worry when he heard this, fearing that Ye Feng was just a decent person on the surface, but in fact he was a good guy with the young city lord.
The old man was slightly shocked when he heard this, but he calmed down instantly, shook his head and smiled, "No, I think I may not be able to trust the first time I meet, and it may not be reliable to spend time together. The young master is righteous, with a gentle and quiet look, without any evil look. I believe that the young master will never be a villain, otherwise he would not say what he had said before, and would not ask to help me."
Ye Feng smiled slightly when he heard this. He knew very well that his luck was strong and he could naturally gain the trust of low-level monks or weak luck. This old man only practiced Qi and had a great perfection and had a short life. His luck was weak, so he naturally would not doubt his character. This actually had nothing to do with his own good or bad, and it was just the role of luck.
However, Ye Feng did not delve into it. He thought for a while, then nodded happily and said, "Yes, I understand. Well, since you trust me so much, I will help you once."
"No, I don't want to!"
