Chapter 17: When a confidant meets wine, a thousand cups are few
In the private room on the second floor of Piaoxiang Building, Guo Laoer picked up a cup of tea, blew it, and took a sip.
When drinking tea, you should have the faint fragrance of tea when you are leisurely and enjoy the various aspects of life.
But at this moment, Guo Lao Er's heart was beating violently. Tea was drunk into his stomach, like a wave surging in his stomach, and an evil fire was rising slowly. He was going to do a big thing today, a big thing that could change his destiny in his next life.
Regarding the incident, the two brothers of Guo are indeed in agreement. As early as five years ago, Guo Lao Da once bribed a nurse and wanted to attack the old man, but at the last moment, Guo Lao Er noticed it. From then on, this incident became a handle for Guo Lao Er to his elder brother.
After negotiations, the two brothers would have to share one-third of the inheritance for each other, and even signed a secret agreement.
But they never expected that the two of them had planned for so long and had a fight for a lifetime, but in the end they were cheaper.
How can I bear this?
Yes, I can't bear it!
So Guo Lao Er decided to complete the unfinished action that Guo Lao Da had five years ago, and Guo Lao San must die!
When Guo Lao Er went out, he had already communicated with Boss Guo through eye contact. Both parties saw the meaning in each other's eyes, so when Guo Lao Er called, Boss Guo almost understood it instantly.
Guo Lao Er must ask Guo Lao Lao to take risks together. Only when the risks are borne together can everyone share the benefits equally.
Just as he was thinking, the door of the private room was pushed open. Boss Guo, wearing a gentleman's hat, lowered his head and slowly walked into the private room. Without saying a word, he walked to the opposite Boss Guo to sit down.
The two brothers sat like this, without saying a word. After a while, Guo Lao Er knocked on the table and said.
"I have arranged the person, the car accident, it's tonight!"
Boss Guo's body trembled slightly, then calmed down, took a deep breath, nodded, and then stopped talking.
Guo Lao Er picked up another cup of tea, took a sip, looked at Guo Lao Guo's pretending, and a sarcastic look appeared on the corner of his mouth. He put down the cup and said lightly.
"Why do you want to eat meat but can't bear to leave your children? Is there a beautiful dream?"
When Boss Guo heard Guo Lao Er's words, he finally wrinkled slightly. Then he took off his gentleman's hat and placed it on the table. Looking at Guo Lao Er opposite him, he finally showed a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth and said in a bad tone.
"Don't worry, if I don't die in a car accident, my people will let him die naturally. Second, after this incident today, we have no relationship. I hope you can withdraw from the matter of Group Shares and I can compensate you with cash!"
Guo Laoer looked at the elder brother in front of him with a sarcastic expression. His elder brother was a famous smile tiger. I guess if he didn't arrange this, the other party would secretly send someone to assassinate Guo Zhenyuan. It turns out that the brothers are in the same mood!
But it was too early to talk about dividing up interests before the matter was done. However, Guo Laoer knew that this was the elder brother's fear of him.
Guo Lao Er shook his head, then stood up and said slowly.
"I want 10 billion in cash, and add Guo's Group's overseas real estate projects!"
Hearing Guo Lao Er's words, Boss Guo frowned even deeper, and silently calculated the gains and losses in his mind, finally raised his head, looked at Guo Lao Er, and then nodded.
Guo’s Group has tens of billions of assets, and Guo Laoer now needs 10 billion cash and a real estate project worth 5 billion outside Shanghai. It’s not too much or too little. However, if you really get rid of Guo Laoer, it’s worth it.
The two brothers have been fighting for so many years, and they all know what they think in their hearts. Guo Laoer obviously started to retreat after his wishes come true.
And the person they were going to deal with at this moment did not notice that the two half-brothers were trying to kill him.
Guo Zhenyuan was furious at this moment, took a sip of the soup in the bowl, and shouted at Liu Feng.
"Old Liu, this is the taste. You can try it quickly. I have missed it for decades, exactly the same taste as the one I tasted when I was a child."
Liu Feng frowned and looked at the broken bowl missing on one side. The dirt on the table was dark, which made him lose most of his appetite. After looking at the environment of the room, he could only sigh, pluck up the courage to pick up the bowl in front, and look at the golden soup inside, and always feel strange in his heart.
Liu Feng finally couldn't help but smell the smell. At this time, Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, then sniffed and smelled again. It was true.
This smell is very unique, and there is an indescribable fragrance. Yes, the sour fragrance, Liu Feng swears that he has never smelled it before after several worlds.
The sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors in the food can be combined into countless breathtaking flavors, but Liu Feng has never tasted this sour aroma combination. It is not an ordinary sour aroma, and this taste is indescribable.
Liu Feng finally couldn't help but be curious. After taking a sip, Liu Feng was completely shocked. His hand holding the bowl was trembling slightly, and finally he fell into a strange state.
A bowl of soup, taste all kinds of flavors, the sour aroma is appetizing, and a faint sweetness and spicy mixed with a unique fragrance. It will not dissipate on the tip of the tongue for a long time. If you savor it carefully, there will be a little bitter sweetness. This is really incredible.
After the combination of the five flavors of sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, there are several other flavors, which is amazing.
The corners of his eyes were inexplicably moist, as if he saw the ups and downs of his life for several lifetimes, all in this bowl of soup.
Guo Zhenyuan, who was opposite, was stunned when he saw Liu Feng's expression, and then grinned and smiled like a child.
The true essence of the braised cooking here of Grandma Wang lies in the soup. The more the story there is, the more you can taste the different tastes from others.
When I was a child, when I first drank this soup, I cried so heartbrokenly, because he seemed to taste the taste of his mother in the soup. Later, when he grew up, he gradually tasted a hint of bitter sweetness in the soup. That taste reminded him of his life experience. Isn’t it just like this bowl of soup?
Liu Feng was indeed shocked. He had experienced so many worlds and tasted all the delicacies of the world, but in the end he tasted the real taste of the world in such a dilapidated place.
I can't cook this soup myself, and the flavor levels are too rich. If I drink it in a big gulp, I will only taste a unique sour aroma. This taste is very appetizing, but if I taste it carefully, I can taste a very rich flavor.
"I'm going to make this secret recipe myself!"
Indeed, there is definitely a savory chef hidden here. A chef who can make this taste can already be called a chef god.
Just as he was thinking, a hunched body slowly walked out in the kitchen. Guo Zhenyuan quickly got up and took it, put the iron pot on the table, and couldn't wait to open it.
A hot air came to my nose. The smell in the heat was not strong, only a faint sour smell. It was precisely this faint sour smell that had a special chemical reaction with the bowl of soup I just drank. Liu Feng and Guo Zhenyuan's stomachs were rumbling at the same time. The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Grandma Wang, then I'll start!"
As he said that, Guo Zhenyuan couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and pick them up into the pot. The ingredients in the pot were not rich, just three simple ingredients: radish, tofu, fish balls.
Seeing Guo Zhenyuan's actions, Liu Feng was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and started picking up a piece of tofu and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Wow, it's great!"
The radish is too old, the tofu is too soft, the fish balls are not elastic, and the ingredients are all flawed. However, after the special boiling in the iron pot, these shortcomings seem to be covered by the special fragrance in the soup, and even neutralize those shortcomings, creating a special delicacy.
The iron pot is not big and looks a bit old. It should have been left by Grandma Wang when she opened a braised cooking shop. The two of them were eating in big mouthfuls. The white-haired old man next to him quietly held his hands behind his back and watched them eat. Under the dim light, the smile on the old man's face squeezed the folds on his face into a ball, leaving only those bright eyes, with tears flashing.
More than ten minutes later, the two of them drank completely with the soup, touched their round belly, and moaned comfortably with satisfaction.
Yes, Liu Feng hasn't really used food to satisfy his stomach for a long time, and today he is finally satisfied again.
Perhaps he had eaten too many delicacies, and he had no surprise for any delicacies he had eaten now. Now he finally tasted this kind of surprise again.
He now had a premonition that the old man in front of him must have a secret. As long as he mastered this secret, his cooking skills would definitely be able to go further. He has not been so excited and nervous for a long time since he truly entered the stage of the God-Devouring God.
Liu Feng stood up, walked slowly to the old man, half-obeyed his body, looked at the old man with a faint smile on his face and said.
"Grandma Wang, your soup is very delicious. I tasted nine flavors in it, but I always feel that something is missing. Can you answer my doubts for me?"
When the old man heard Liu Feng's words, the smile on his face stopped. She slowly raised her head and looked at Liu Feng's eyes. A centenarian, a middle-aged man who had experienced several lifetimes. The two of them looked at each other quietly.
Liu Feng's eyes were filled with vicissitudes, vicissitudes of life, and life experiences, which resonated with the century-old people in the eyes of the old man.
A shock appeared in Grandma Wang's eyes, but she soon felt completely relieved. She had never experienced anything in a century of life, but the young man in front of her seemed to have seen another person's shadow, her father.
Guo Zhenyuan looked at the old and the young, a little confused.
The old man shook a little, and Liu Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support her. The old man slowly placed his hand on the palm of Liu Feng's hand and let Liu Feng hold her. The old man didn't say anything and walked towards a corner with Liu Feng.
There were two boxes in the corner, which looked like they were hundreds of years old. The red paint on it had fallen off, revealing the golden wood. The old man squatted down slowly, let go of Liu Feng's hand, and opened a box.
There were only some simple changes in the box, but nothing valuable. The old man opened the clothes and found a smaller wooden box in the bottom, took out the wooden box, stood up slowly, and handed the wooden box to Liu Feng.
Liu Feng took the wooden box and slowly opened it under the old man's eyes.
A brown ancient manuscript was lying inside.
When Liu Feng saw the handwriting on this ancient manuscript, his eyes lit up.
The ancient manuscript reads, "Thirteen flavors"!
Just three simple pieces, but Liu Feng seemed to be able to see something different from his handwriting. This is the sensitivity of the chef. In Grandma Wang's soup, he tasted nine flavors, but the book in front of him said thirteen flavors. Is there really thirteen flavors in the food in the world?
Liu Feng's heart was beating fast at this moment, and he could vaguely realize that the surprise that this gain would bring him would be beyond his imagination.
Instead of turning it open, he slowly closed the wooden box and quietly looked at the old man in front of him. The old man seemed to understand what he was thinking at the moment. He bent down with a smile and closed the wooden box, then turned around and returned to the table, began to pack up the tableware for the two of them, murmured.
"My father has been studying this book all his life, and finally only developed nine flavors. He once said that this book only increases the destiny. If someone tastes nine flavors from the Thirteen Flavor Soup, I will give this book to the destiny person. If no one tastes it, I will bring this book into the coffin. Unexpectedly, this destiny person actually met. Take this book away. Young man, you are a strange person. I think you should understand what I mean!"
Liu Feng held the small wooden box and felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. He nodded. At this moment, he already understood what the old man wanted to express.
The old man's father studied this ancient man's manuscript for his whole life and finally only developed nine flavors. He felt countless unwillingness in his heart, so he passed on his skills to his daughter, the century-old white-haired old man. The old man stopped at the nine flavors throughout his life and failed to move forward. What his father said was that he hoped to meet a real chef and truly study the real thirteen flavors.
Liu Feng took this wish!
Looking at the dilapidated iron house, Liu Feng wanted to take the old man away and enjoy his old age, but the old man smiled and refused.
The old man's eyes stayed on the wooden box on Liu Feng's hand for three seconds, and finally sighed, waved his hand, and drove the two away.
Liu Feng stood at the door and turned around and gave a standard disciple gift to the old man. The old man's face was slightly touched. He closed the iron gate without saying a word, leaving only Guo Zhenyuan, who was inexplicably from beginning to end.
It was not until the lights in the room went out that Guo Zhenyuan touched the back of his head and asked inexplicably.
"Old Liu, what are you and Grandma Wang doing? Why can't I understand?"
Liu Feng withdrew his mood and snorted happily.
"It's right if you don't understand. It's so late, are you still drinking?"
When Guo Zhenyuan heard the drinking, he immediately said with a smile.
"Drink, why don't you? I really want to get drunk today. Alas, let me tell you what I think in my heart later!"
As he said that, Guo Zhenyuan smiled and walked forward with a smile, hugged Liu Feng's arm, and pulled him forward. Along the way, Guo Zhenyuan finally came back and asked quickly.
"Old Liu, what is the wooden box that Grandma Wang gave you just now? You are mysterious and I don't even understand!"
Liu Feng laughed, then opened the small wooden box, carefully took out the ancient copy and handed it to Guo Zhenyuan.
When Guo Zhenyuan saw Liu Feng like this, he took it carefully. Seeing that the thirteen flavors were written on it, the font was strange and strange. He felt a little confused. He opened it casually, and some words were written in it, but he didn't recognize a single word, and he suddenly lost interest at all and wanted to throw it to Liu Feng.
Liu Feng quickly put it away carefully and scolded him with some dissatisfaction.
"It's terrible to have no culture. This is a small seal script, ancient text. This ancient manuscript has been at least thousands of years old. This paper is very special. It should be made of some kind of animal skin and is soaked with oil. This maintenance method is magical!"
Guo Zhenyuan was not interested in this thing, so he pulled Liu Feng to turn left and then, and finally arrived at a main street again and found a roadside shop.
The shop sells wine, and there are dozens of kinds of homemade wine. Guo Zhenyuan directly ordered five kilograms of sorghum wine, and the shop also sells fried peanuts, and also ordered a large bag.
Liu Feng was carrying a large bag of fried goods, and Guo Zhenyuan was holding a jar of five kilograms of wine. Guo Zhenyuan led the way, and finally stopped at a stone table at the entrance of a small park next to him.
Liu Feng put the fried goods on it, Guo Zhenyuan opened the wine jar, and a strong aroma of wine came to his nose. He took out two plastic bowls. Guo Zhenyuan was filled with a bold look, then he picked up the bowl with a greasy face and shouted to Liu Feng.
"Old Liu, come and have a drink. I meet a confidant after a thousand cups of wine. It is rare to get drunk in life. After today, I will probably never meet such a drinking scene again. I will get drunk with me today!"
Liu Feng was helpless, picked up the bowl, touched the other party for a while, and then he felt a hot feeling in his mouth coming down from his throat, which was so cool!
Guo Zhenyuan drank too hard and started coughing violently. Liu Feng wanted to get up and help pat his back. He quickly smiled and waved his hand to refuse. Then he grabbed a peanut, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times before he recovered. After the alcohol was over, his face turned red instantly.
Guo Zhenyuan sighed, looked at the wine jar, and said leisurely.
"My grandfather used to be a drunkard and had to drink a pound of wine every day. It was the cheapest sorghum wine. But at that time, his family was poor and he had no money to buy wine. Every time he secretly went out to pick up rags and sell them for wine. Every time he came back from buying wine, he didn't forget to buy me some snacks. It was at that time that I secretly drank my grandfather's wine. The smell of sorghum wine I will remember all my life. Now I think about it, I really miss it!"
Liu Feng sighed helplessly. It seems that this kid has a great influence on him, but it is true. Everyone's childhood affects his life, and even his childhood personality has a profound impact on adulthood.
It's okay, today I saw that he took him to Grandma Wang's place, so I'll have a drink with him today.
Indeed, as Guo Zhenyuan said, this time drinking may be the last time he indulged in his life.
From tomorrow on, he will be the chairman of the Guo Group and the top ten richest people in this city. In the future, his life will be a different experience. Perhaps this is the only time to drink on the street like this.
Saying goodbye to the past is great!
"Come on! Lao Guo, don't be sentimental, this bowl of wine to our friendship!"
"Hahaha, okay, respect our friendship forever! It's hard to find a confidant. Come on, Lao Liu, please touch one!"
Guo Zhenyuan laughed, picked up the wine bowl, and ran into Liu Feng for a while. The wine was everywhere. The two of them didn't care about their image at all and drank it in one sip.
After three rounds of drinking, Guo Zhenyuan looked a little confused. He stood up, exhaled a sip of wine, looked at the starry sky, was stunned for a long time, and finally said as if he was talking to himself.
"Old Liu, I want to divide the Guo Group. I will retain the core real estate industry and other industries for the eldest and second. The old man is in the spirit of heaven. I definitely hope that our brothers will be harmonious. It is too unfair to them now!"
Liu Feng didn't say anything, shook his head, with a smile on his face. He looked at a sneaky black shadow in the corner of the street in the distance, and said to himself.
"Old Guo, the shopping mall is like a battlefield. Since it is a battlefield, it is naturally a life-and-death life. Your kindness, your two brothers may not appreciate it!"
Guo Zhenyuan smiled bitterly, fell on the stone chair, picked up the wine bowl, and drank another bowl. Finally, he let out a long breath, shook his head, and said to Liu Feng.
"How can I know if I don't try it? Although the three of us brothers are half-brothers, they are all the blood of the old man after all. Besides, even if we share those assets with them, with our strength, if we really want to make tens of billions, it would be easy. Okay, let's drink this all today and have to drive back!"
Guo Zhenyuan shook his body and stood up. Liu Feng smiled and said nothing more. People, if you have experienced it once, you will never wake up.
The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder and arrived at the parking place. Guo Zhenyuan wanted to drive, so Liu Feng asked him to roll to the passenger seat, got into the driver's seat, started the car, and slowly drove out.
Through the rearview mirror, Liu Feng saw a truck also starting the car and following him.
Liu Feng showed a playful smile on his lips. He stopped racing soon, and the veteran driver was officially launched!
The vehicle quickly drove off the street and slowly entered the city's edge highway. All the rich people in the port city built villas halfway up the mountain, and the old Guo family was no exception.
The Toyota was very stable, and Liu Feng was not driving fast, so soon the truck behind began to accelerate and slowly approached their car.
Liu Feng's mouth curled up and suddenly stepped on the accelerator. The car rushed away, and the truck behind him was thrown away again.
Guo Zhenyuan, the co-pilot, didn't understand what was going on. Seeing Liu Feng who suddenly accelerated, he still shouted with fear.
"Drive slowly!"
Liu Feng smiled and continued to increase the accelerator. He quickly rushed through an intersection. As soon as he rushed one by one, another passed one by him appeared in front. At the intersection in front, three small cars suddenly rushed out, blocking all the two-way lanes.
Liu Feng looked into the rearview mirror and saw that the truck had increased its horsepower and rushed towards him.
At this time, Liu Feng had no choice but to speed up. The three small cars in front almost blocked all the passages.
Guo Zhenyuan saw the three cars slowly in front of him and shouted with dissatisfaction.
"What are these people doing? They don't go home to sleep in the middle of the night!"
Liu Feng laughed loudly, following the other party's butt, then shouted at Guo Zhenyuan.
"Old Guo, see if the seat belt is tied up, it's about to take off!"
Guo Zhenyuan glanced at Liu Feng for no reason, then pulled the seat belt and asked in confusion.
"Old Liu, what are you doing?"
Liu Feng looked at Lao Guo who was still confused at this moment and was speechless. He glanced at the rearview mirror again and scolded loudly.
"Remember later, don't panic. With me, there is no big problem!"
Chapter completed!
