When Long Kongkong walked out of the temple headquarters in the early morning, Long Dangdang was followed by him. The two brothers met in the corridor.
"Long Dangdang, why do you look so ugly?" Long Kongkong asked doubtfully.
Long Dangdang said calmly: "After I learn it, I will teach you a skill. You will know it then."
Long Kongkong chuckled and said, "I can't learn the skills of the reckless knight! There's no need to learn them anymore."
Long Dangdang glanced at him and said: "You can learn this. You can. I have already asked the teacher, and the teacher agreed that I would teach you."
"You go to grandpa and grandma's house. I'm going to work. What a hard-working boy! Work-study study." Long Kongkong walked down the stairs with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation and excitement.
Long Dang said: "When they asked, I said you went to pick up girls?"
"Bah! Work-study program. Do you know what work-study program is? What a good and thrifty young man I am!" Long Kongkong said with awe-inspiring righteousness.
"Okay, then you don't have to spend the money mom gave you. It's all with me anyway, so you can work hard and study hard."
"If you don't want to spend it, don't spend it. Anyway, I have found a job." In front of the goddess of pork ribs, nothing matters.
Long Kongkong looked slightly sideways, this guy was a bit serious this time!
"Come on, don't send me off, I'm coming." Heshi's Pork Rib Shop is not far from the temple headquarters. Long Kongkong waved to Long Dangdang and ran away without looking back.
Long Dangdang shook his head helplessly and walked in the other direction. According to the address given by his mother, it should still be a certain distance away. He was going to find a carriage to go there.
When Long Kongkong arrived at the Heshi Pork Rib Shop, he was thrown cold water on it. The door of the shop was locked and the door was not opened yet. His enthusiasm suddenly cooled down a bit, and he found a place to sit down at the door of the shop helplessly.
Look around. If the door is not open in the morning, it will be noon. It seems that I have a lot to wait for.
Unlike Long Dangdang, who looked exhausted, he was in particularly good spirits today. The benefits of the Archangel's Embrace were very obvious. It not only helped him increase his inner spiritual power, but also enhanced the speed at which the Yuan Vortex Spiritual Furnace absorbs spiritual power.
At the same time, it has been nourishing his body. His external spiritual power is actually quite strong among his peers, and it has laid a deep foundation. The Archangel's Embrace is equivalent to helping him remove impurities from his body, so with
After his talent was improved by the Yuan Vortex Spiritual Furnace, his own cultivation speed became faster and faster.
At this time, the sun has come out, and the warm sunlight shines on the body, which is indescribably comfortable. Long Kongkong stretches his body. Under the sunlight, the Yuanvortex Spirit Furnace on his chest is naturally touched, and it moves on its own.
Slowly absorbing the spiritual energy in the air. This only began to appear after the Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnace evolved. Even when it is not meditating, it will absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the air to enhance Long Kongkong himself.
Since possessing the evolutionary skill of Yuan Vortex Swallowing, Long Kongkong can clearly feel that his cultivation speed has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Okay, there's no one around anyway, so I'll just practice here for a while? If the teacher knew about it, he would definitely praise me for my diligence.
He leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and silently focused his consciousness on the Yuan Vortex Spiritual Furnace, speeding up the absorption of the spiritual power of heaven and earth. After a short time, his consciousness was already immersed in himself.
"Hey, hey, wake up." I don't know how long it took, but the shaking of his body woke Long Kongkong from his meditation.
Long Kongkong opened his eyes in a daze, feeling warm inside his body. However, because his body was touched, the Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnace had already restrained itself, ending his meditation.
"Why are you sleeping here? When did you come?" The pleasant voice came again.
Long Kongkong rubbed his eyes and looked intently. A fair face with gentle eyes was looking at him. Isn't she her own goddess? Of course, beside the goddess stood the goddess's father, Hershey's Spare Ribs.
The boss of the store.
Long Kongkong quickly got up and said with a smile: "What time is it now? I came early in the morning."
"It's about nine o'clock now. You don't have to come so early in the future. Just come at half past nine." Hepburn said softly.
"Okay, thank you boss." Long Kongkong agreed readily.
Hepburn blushed and said, "I'm not the boss, my dad is."
Father He glanced at Long Kongkong and said, "The young man came early and worked hard, which is good. Come in." As he said that, he took the lead to walk inside.
The shop was clean, and He's father said: "Kongkong, come here, and I'll tell you about your job and treatment."
"Okay, your order." Long Kongkong walked over with a smile.
Dad He came behind the cashier counter and said: "Our store is small, and there is no such clear division of labor. Basically, you are where you are needed. You work-study, and we will take care of your two meals, lunch and dinner, and then every day
Do you think the salary is fifty copper coins?"
Fifty copper coins is definitely not a high salary. In fact, it is just a day's meal for ordinary people.
Long Kongkong didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Okay!" He didn't come here to make money.
Dad Hepburn nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you come with me first, prepare the food for lunch first, and you can help me. Then you and Hepburn will entertain the guests at noon. Girl, you clean up in front, clean up." As he said,
Then he walked to the kitchen.
Long Kongkong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. When he passed by Hepburn, he whispered: "Why don't you tell your dad, and I'll take care of it with you in front."
Hepburn smiled and said: "You don't need so many people in the front. You can go to the back and help my dad."
Long Kongkong had no choice but to go to the kitchen to catch big fish in the long run.
The kitchen at the back is not big, about six or seven square meters. Dad He is taking out a large rack of ribs from the low-temperature storage cabinet filled with ice cubes.
"Our business here is better on weekends, so we need to prepare more. We can probably sell at least five or sixty portions of rice or noodles at noon and evening on weekends. Have you ever learned cooking before?"
Long Kongkong shook his head blankly.
Dad He glanced at him and frowned slightly, but soon returned to normal. What else could such cheap labor expect from others?
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how. It's a good choice to learn from the beginning. At least you can avoid detours. Get the basin over there and fill it with half a basin of water and prepare it." He's father directed Long Kongkong and started to take out his chopping knife to chop.
Ribs.
Naturally, Long Kongkong was good at fetching water. Dad He was chopping the ribs and said: "You may not think that our store is small, but it is definitely made with real ingredients. We only use pure ribs, every piece."
When chopping, it should be chopped into small pieces of about five centimeters, so that it is easy to stew and easy to eat."
As he spoke, he licked the ribs "bang bang bang", his movements seemed very skillful.
"Boss, I think I can try this." Long Kongkong said with a smile.
"Oh? Don't think it's so simple. The bones are very hard and you need to chop them as much as possible so as not to waste them. The most fragrant meat is the meat close to the bones, which is why our family makes pork ribs."
"You want me to try?" Long Kongkong smiled.
"Okay, then you give it a try." As he said that, he handed the chopping knife to Long Kongkong.
Long Kongkong glanced at the small pieces of ribs that He's father had chopped into small pieces. With a flick of his wrist, the chopping knife began to fall.
"You can't do this. You have to lift it high and use enough strength to cut it in two..." Dad He was talking, but he was surprised to see that although Long Kongkong's movements were not large, the ribs had been evenly divided into pieces, and even the knife
It didn't make much sound even when it was chopped on the chopping board.
And because of the small range of movement, Long Kongkong was chopping the ribs even faster than him. Soon, even small pieces of the ribs were chopped out.
"Kongkong! Have you really never learned cooking?" He's father asked in surprise.
Long Kongkong said with a smile: "I studied knights at the Temple Academy for a few years when I was in my hometown. I have practiced swords before, and I am pretty good at using this sword." After all, he is close to a fourth-level knight, and the knight sword is very good.
It was much heavier than this chopping knife. It was naturally easier to chop ribs with this chopping knife. For the first time, Long Kongkong felt that practicing knights had some practical effect.
"Not bad, not bad. You continue." Father He now felt like he had found a treasure. He threw the chopped ribs into the clear water.
At the same time, Long Dangdang had also arrived in a carriage outside a mansion in the city center.
This is definitely a high-end mansion. The Long family's mansion in Tenglong City is already quite big, but the mansion in front of you is at least ten times bigger. You know, this is in the holy city where every inch of land is precious!
There was a special guard at the door. Long Dangdang stepped forward and handed over the token given by his mother, and the guard immediately went in to report.
Not long after, a handsome middle-aged man who looked very much like his mother walked out. "Where is he? Where is my nephew?" he shouted as soon as he came out.
When he saw Long Dangdang, he rushed over with excitement on his face and looked at Long Dangdang up and down, "They look so similar! Hey, why are you the only one? Your mother said in the letter that you are twin brothers.
ah!"
Long Dangdang said: "Hello, I am Long Dangdang. My brother was left in the academy to practice by his teacher, so he couldn't come."
"Oh oh oh, that's it. Come in with me quickly. The whole family is waiting for you two brothers to come. It's true that your mother has been reluctant to bring you two back for so many years." As he said this, he said enthusiastically
He took Long Dangdang and walked into the mansion.
Ling Mansion.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a huge rockery. On the front of the rockery, there is a man-made waterfall pouring down, making bursts of water sounds. Going forward along the side, you will see the huge front yard. The courtyard is decorated in a simple way, with carved beams and painted buildings. The simplicity reveals wealth and heritage.
.
"Dangdang! I am your fifth uncle Ling Shuang, and your mother and I are twins. Has she ever mentioned me? I am the elder brother, and your mother is the sixth child in the family." Your mother's twin brother?
"Mom said that my uncles are all very handsome. Oh, by the way, there is a letter specifically for you." Long Dangdang smiled and took out a letter and handed it to Ling Shuang.
In fact, Ling Xue rarely mentioned her parents' affairs at home, as if she was afraid of irritating Long Leilei.
Ling Shuang opened the letter excitedly, but soon the expression on her face became stiff. There was only one sentence in the letter, "Xiao Shuang! Take good care of our two sons, otherwise you will not be as good-looking as you."
That's it……
However, this seems to be in line with Ling Xue's character. In fact, in their generation, Ling Xue is the least talented person, but Ling Xue is also the one with the biggest temper and the most favored one. The Ling family has a habit of asking who has the most talent.
It depends on who is favored the most. In the words of the old man, God does not love me.
Even the Long family has been affected by this tradition to a certain extent, so although Long Kongkong has extremely poor talent, he is favored by his parents. And this is what Long Dangdang doesn't know.
"Your mother is really good. After so many years, her character has not changed at all. Your grandpa and grandma are both at home. Your eldest uncle, second uncle, and third uncle are not here, and they are all on business. Your fourth uncle, I and your aunt
At home. I've sent someone to notify them, they should be here soon."
Ling Shuang led Long Dangdang to a luxurious living room. Not long after, he heard an excited voice, "Where is it, where is it? Where is my nephew?"
The next moment, Long Dangdang felt his eyes light up, and a beautiful woman had appeared in front of them.
This woman also looked very similar to Ling Xue, but she was much more lively. She looked younger, probably in her twenties. When she saw Long Dangdang, she immediately ran over excitedly and said, "Here comes one."
?”
Long Dangdang asked carefully, are you so obsessed with twins? He guessed who this person was without asking, "Hello, aunt, I am Long Dangdang."
The Ling family has seven brothers and sisters in Ling Xue's generation, and their names are easy to remember. They are named after wind, fire, thunder, lightning, frost, snow, and ice. The first four are all boys, until Ling Shuang and Ling Xue.
The twins had their first girl, which is why Ling Xue was so favored. Ling Bing was the last child and the youngest one. She was ten years younger than Ling Xue.
"Yes, yes, he looks pretty good. He is indeed our child. My aunt will give you a red envelope later."
"Thank you, auntie." Long Dangdang's auntie's scream suddenly became even sweeter.
"By the way, Sixth Sister said that you two brothers have also been admitted to Linglu Academy? Have you reported? When you report, my aunt will give you a surprise."
"Ah? We have already reported it! What a surprise, auntie." Long Dangdang asked curiously.
"Has it been reported? Impossible! Aren't you a magician? You are not in the magic class!" Ling Bing said doubtfully.
