"Mengmeng, don't get me wrong, what I mean is..." Zhang Ke paused, and after organizing his words in his mind, he deliberately said in a sincere tone:
"Actually, I also had responsibilities in the past, but I didn't understand your situation enough, so now I don't want you to wrong yourself because of my willfulness. If uncle and aunt don't agree, it's better not to make the old man angry. We can't meet like this now.
very good."
"Are you really not angry with me?"
Yuan Mengmeng's aggrieved look was like a pug that had made a mistake. She looked very lovable. Even though she had no previous memory at all, Zhang Ke couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms and comfort her softly.
.
It's just that he still controlled his emotions. Now that he can't protect himself, he should not get too close to anyone in the end. This may harm others and easily expose himself.
"Here you go, your noodles and mutton—"
Fortunately, Boss Wang, who was carrying several large bowls of delicacies, appeared in time and resolved the embarrassment between the two.
Even though it hasn't been served to the table yet, the rich, mellow, exciting, or spicy aroma has already penetrated Zhang Ke's nose, making the glutton in his stomach growl.
He turned around and looked intently, and was surprised to find that each sea bowl on the push plate in Boss Wang's hand was almost as big as a small basin. Looking down the surface of the noodle soup, it was actually bottomless.
The onions are green, the noodles are white, and there are a few crystal oil flowers floating on the clear noodle soup, showing a refreshing and magical color.
The most attractive thing, apart from the stomach-churning aroma, is the toppings piled on top of the noodles.
Pieces of braised beef neatly cut into dice-like shapes are piled densely on the noodles, weighing half a catty. If you look closely, there is fragrant gravy, slowly oozing out muscle fibers, and the rich red sauce looks delicious.
People have great appetites.
Another bowl of relatively light Lanzhou Ramen is also topped with a layer of thickly sliced spiced beef. Different from the thin slices of meat in ordinary restaurants, each piece here is as plump and thick as the barbecued pork version.
One bite is very satisfying.
As for the remaining stir-fried mutton with onions, it is embellished with green peppers, red peppers, onions, carrots and other vegetables, giving it a colorful color, which also highlights the fatness of the fragrant mutton.
"It looks really delicious——"
Zhang Ke swallowed a mouthful of saliva, wishing he could grab these bowls of delicacies from Boss Wang right now and devour them.
After thinking about it carefully, I found that my stomach was indeed empty, and I had always felt a faint sense of hunger. It was just that my mental state had been too tense the previous few times, and I had just seen a bloody corpse, so I ignored the needs of my five internal organs temple.
.
"Boss, you are in really good health. You are over 50 years old and you can still serve three large bowls of vegetables at one go." Yuan Mengmeng said casually with a smile.
"That's what I practiced when I was young." Boss Wang proudly said:
"To tell you the truth, when I was your age, the country called on young people to go to the mountains and countryside. At that time, I stayed alone in the northwest for six or seven years. Sometimes I accidentally walked into the wild and couldn't get back to the camp in time.
A single wild wolf has fought.”
"Fighting with a wild wolf is so awesome..." Yuan Mengmeng blinked her eyes, as if she really believed it.
Zhang Ke thought to himself that she was indeed a gullible girl with a simple mind. It was no wonder that the nonsense he had just said could coax her into laughing and no longer wanted to accuse her.
"I am nothing, Xiao Zhang, you should know that there is an old man in your community who is about my age. He is a real practitioner." Boss Wang changed the subject and looked at Zhang Ke.
"Ah?" the other party asked inexplicably. No matter how fast Zhang Ke thought, he couldn't react at once.
"Have you forgotten? He is the old man who lives on the seventh floor of Building 12. He is a pioneer and model in the community." Boss Wang reminded, "He was brave enough to stop a thief who was touching his mobile phone on the bus. He was also on the social news.
.”
"The seventh floor of Building Twelve—ah, that's the one you're talking about!"
After hearing this specific address, Zhang Ke suddenly understood.
The so-called twelfth building was not the apartment that he had spent several reincarnations to finally get out of. The sixth floor was the room where he saw the body when he woke up, and the tall and thin man who was obedient lived on the fifth floor, and
His bipolar fat wife.
As for the old man on the seventh floor, Zhang Ke had only seen him in his first reincarnation. Because the fat woman's shouting alerted the neighbors upstairs, the old man came down from the seventh floor and relaxed in a few rounds.
He subdued himself.
At that time, Zhang Ke thought it was because he was flustered and because there were so many people on the other side that he was caught so easily by an old man.
Now that I think about it carefully, the old man's strikes were vigorous and neat, his movements were crisp and sharp, and his movements could perfectly constrain his own actions. Obviously, it was impossible to do it without any real talent.
"You remember, it's that old Suntou. I heard that he was an apprentice of Chuanwu Bajiquan when he was young, and he learned a good skill from his apprenticeship. It's a pity that modern civilized society doesn't have so much fighting and killing. He is like this
Except for the occasional act of righteousness, there is no place for heroes to use their physical skills." Boss Wang said with emotion.
It turns out that he was subdued by a former master of Bajiquan, so it’s no wonder that he didn’t even have the slightest chance to fight back.
Although Zhang Ke is not familiar with traditional martial arts, he has also heard that Bajiquan's attacks are about being ruthless, accurate, and steady, and killing with one blow without mercy. It is a very cruel and vicious move. Therefore, the master of Bajiquan in the Qing Dynasty
Li Shuwen is known as the so-called "No Two Fighters".
I didn't have any injuries at that time, probably because the old man was merciful.
"Okay, I won't disturb you young people's love affair." Boss Wang smiled knowingly, "You guys can eat it while it's hot."
Yuan Mengmeng took a bowl of Lanzhou Ramen with clear soup, while Zhang Ke picked up the remaining braised beef noodles. The two of them were already hungry due to the aroma, so they naturally stopped talking nonsense and started to eat happily.
The soup is delicious and mellow, the beef is crispy and sweet, and the noodles are chewy and smooth. Zhang Ke simply can't find fault with this bowl of noodles. It's no wonder Yuan Mengmeng compared it to a Michelin restaurant before.
The two of them remained silent, just burying their heads in the air and eating most of the bowl of noodles before raising their heads with satisfaction.
Looking at the satisfied smile of the girl opposite, Zhang Ke felt a touch of warmth in his heart. At this moment, three familiar men appeared in his mind again.
