Super Zoo

After the ingredients were prepared, Ding Jing was worried again.

How should she tell Hong Feifei about this?

Before, she didn't have much hope that Su Ming could gather all the ingredients. She just wanted to try her best. She didn't think too much about the follow-up matters. She didn't expect Su Ming to gather all the ingredients so quickly.

No one knows the origin of this recipe better than Ding Jing herself. No matter what, as long as it involves this dish, Hong Feifei will definitely guess that Ding Jing is behind it, and may not accept their kindness.

"Boss Ding, you are so concerned that you are confused." Su Ming laughed. Ding Jing is also a famous strong woman in Yangchuan City. I didn't expect that she would be stumped by such a small matter. In Su Ming's view, this is not a "problem" at all.

Ding Jing was stunned and asked curiously: "Do you have a solution?"

"Tell the truth." Su Ming roughly told Ding Jing his idea. After listening, Ding Jing thought for a moment, as if asking Su Ming, or talking to herself, she said helplessly: "It seems that there is no other way. Just do it as you said. Whether she agrees or not is up to fate."

Ding Jing had no confidence, but Su Ming was just the opposite. He was 80% to 90% sure.

Coming to the hospital again, from entering the ward to Su Ming leaving the ward, the whole process took no more than fifteen minutes. It was almost exactly the same as Su Ming's previous guess. Hong Feifei only hesitated for a moment and agreed happily.

Ding Jing was uneasy in the hotel. Su Ming had just left for less than half an hour when the phone rang. Ding Jing's heart skipped a beat and subconsciously asked: "Does she agree?" The phone call came in such a short time. Ding Jing felt that there was only one possibility. Hong Feifei refused without hesitation, and did not even give Su Ming time to explain.

"She agreed. Not only did she agree, but she was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears and her nose was almost running." Su Ming said in a relaxed tone on the other end of the phone.

"That's good, that's good." Ding Jing felt relieved, and then asked with a little expectation and a little worry: "Well... does she know this recipe? Did I provide it?"

"She should be able to guess it. She's not stupid. But she didn't say it." Su Ming smiled.

On the other end of the phone, Ding Jing was silent for a few seconds, and finally sighed: "Mr. Su, you men still understand women's minds."

"This has nothing to do with men and women." Su Ming disagreed. Before, he didn't think Hong Feifei would not accept it. Ding Jing was confused by the situation and was worried about gains and losses, so she thought too much.

After Su Ming went to the ward, he told Hong Feifei directly that he had a recipe and ready-made ingredients, and asked Hong Feifei if she was willing to show her cooking skills again and get back the place she lost that day.

After seeing the recipe, Hong Feifei's face changed. The first thing she asked was where did this recipe come from.

Su Ming didn't mention Ding Jing at all, and vaguely said that a friend gave it to him.

Both parties knew the real source of this recipe. Hong Feifei was not a fool, so she naturally wouldn't believe that any friend of Su Ming had the ancestral secret recipe of her Hong family's dishes. Not saying it out loud was nothing more than giving Hong Feifei a way out.

The reason couldn't be simpler. On the one hand, there was Hong Feifei's personal reputation in the chef industry and the Hong family's three hundred years of brand. On the other hand, there was personal hatred. As long as Hong Feifei was still rational, she would know how to choose. What's more, there was a layer of window paper in the middle, which was vague. Using that non-existent "friend" avoided the embarrassment of both parties.

As expected, Hong Feifei hesitated for a moment, and then half-heartedly agreed. She didn't cry, but her eyes were slightly red.

During the whole conversation, Su Ming did not even mention what kind of reward he would need after the matter was accomplished, and Hong Feifei did not take the initiative to talk about it. Before, Su Ming came to Hong Feifei for the purpose of hiring her as the chef. Since Hong Feifei has now accepted such a big favor from Su Ming, both parties did not mention it, but they knew it in their hearts. It was also a way for Hong Feifei to save face. After all, Hong Feifei rejected Su Ming this morning, and changed her mind in less than a day. It was embarrassing.

Ding Jing did not expect Su Ming to be so calm at such a young age. She secretly recognized it in her heart and said, "Then I congratulate you first, congratulations on finding a top chef."

Su Ming laughed: "Congratulations, congratulations to you too."

Ding Jing was stunned, half-jokingly, half-seriously said: "From now on, our Xiankelai has one more competitor, what should I be happy about?"

"She is willing to cook this dish, from another perspective, it is equivalent to accepting your kindness, shouldn't I congratulate you?" Su Ming asked back.

Ding Jing didn't think about it at first, but after Su Ming reminded her, it seemed to be true. Since Hong Feifei could guess that this menu was not given by a "friend" but was made by her, and she was willing to accept it and make this divine meat, it means that Hong Feifei didn't hate her in her heart.

But so what? After being happy, Ding Jing's heart became even more gloomy. If Hong Feifei really hated her, maybe she could feel better.

"Mr. Ding, are you okay?" Su Ming asked after hearing that there was no sound on the other end of the phone.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay..." Ding Jing calmed down and hesitated: "Xiao Su, do you have time now?"

Men are used to holding back their worries, while women want to find someone to talk to, even a strong woman like Ding Jing is no exception. What happened between her and Hong Feifei could not be revealed to her friends around her. At this time, she met Su Ming, a man who seemed to understand women better, and she subconsciously wanted to talk to Su Ming.

Xiaosu? Su Ming on the other end of the phone was so shocked that he even changed his title. What does this mean?

If she changed it, I should change it too, and asked: "Sister Ding, what's the matter?"

Ding Jing was undecided for a long time, and finally said: "Well, let's forget it. Mr. Su, please do your work first and wait for another day."

After saying that, he hung up the phone hurriedly.

"Hey, crazy children in this world, it's noon on the day of hoeing..." Su Ming shrugged and put away the phone.

"Brother-in-law, what are you mumbling about? I know, at noon on the day of hoeing, a daughter named Ziyan was born!" Nangong Huang said vaguely with a large piece of fish in his mouth.

"I'm a bit uneducated, but my studies are all in the dog's belly!" Su Ming tapped Nangong Huang's head with chopsticks, "Zi Yan's mother is Zhao Xianglu!"

Zhao Yun listened to the two of them engaging in pornography and shook his head helplessly, but it was normal for men to talk about these messy things together. He was in a good mood today, so he said quietly: "Then let me ask you an eternal riddle, Zi Who is Yan’s father?”

Su Ming and Nangong Huang rolled their eyes at the same time and said in unison: "You are so boring!"

Zhao Yun: "..."

After spending a night in the hotel without talking, Hong Feifei's face-saving battle came three days later. Su Ming had free time for the next two days. At 5:30 the next morning, at dawn, Su Ming got up early and arrived at the Huayin County Jiangbian Pier with Zhao Yun, Nangong Huang, and Su Meng.

Dozens of large and small fishing boats were parked side by side at the pier. Several boats had started their motors, bringing up the gurgling river water, and slowly left the pier and headed towards the Yangtze River. Occasionally, a few waterbirds flew across the river at low altitude, making clear cries under the distant sun.

The river is nearly three kilometers wide. Standing on the riverside, you can barely see the other side. You can only vaguely see a very distant horizon on the opposite side. From this angle, except for the yellowish color of the water, there is almost no difference between it and the sea. the difference.

Su Ming couldn't help but think that the river surface for five or six miles looked endless. The Tongtian River in Journey to the West had a river surface of hundreds of miles wide, and he didn't know what a spectacular scene it was.

Lao Gu arrived earlier than Su Ming and the others. He was standing on a diesel boat "Huajiang Yu 2389" from afar, waving to Su Ming from afar.

Su Ming and others walked along the river embankment toward Lao Gu. Along the way, they met a few fishermen who looked familiar to them. They seemed to have met them at Lao Gu's house. They all waved and greeted Su Ming on the boat. Su Ming couldn't even name them. , smiled and waved to them.

Within a few dozen meters, I arrived at the old Gu family's boat and boarded the boat along the gangplank. The fishing boat is about less than fifteen meters long and more than three meters wide. There is a fish hold under the captain's cabin, and fishing nets are drying around the deck. There is a small stove fixed at the door of the captain's cabin, which is apparently used for cooking rice and soup.

Lao Gu is a fisherman with relatively good family conditions. It is said that at least one-third of the fishermen in Huayin County do not have a house. They live and eat on the water, and the boat is their home.

"Hey, this big ship is a loser." Lao Gu waved his hand and smiled, "Once you go out on the river, if you are lucky, you can make a few small bucks, but if you are unlucky, you won't even earn back the gas money. But just leave it like this. Not willing to give in. "

Zhao Yun pulled out his big sea rod piece by piece, and while threading the fishing line that was thick enough to strangle the old scalper through the ring on the rod body, he said: "Lao Gu, don't cry poor. Come on, you have an order from the zoo. You can guarantee the harvest during drought and flood. If you can catch fish, you will make extra money. If you can't catch fish, just take your big customers and go on a trip to the river. "

"I think your fishing rod is thirsty!" Su Ming said with a smile. Zhao Yun brought a large bag of fishing rods, mostly sea rods. Su Ming and the others now each have one rod.

Lao Gu stuck his head out of the cab and said, "Okay, let's set off now!"

Woo... The whistle blew, and Lao Gu's fishing boat seemed to be in reverse, slowly backing up. The propeller stirred up large clouds of water. When the boat broke away from the queue of fishing boats on the shore, Lao Gu skillfully turned the rudder. , the fishing boat turned around and slowly drove towards the depths of the river.

"Xiao Erzi, come and lower the net with me!" After forty or fifty meters from the shore, Lao Gu called a young helper on the boat, a young man nicknamed "Xiao Erzi", and cast the net into the water from the back of the fishing boat. .

There are dozens of fishing boats like Lao Gu on the river, dragging nets and carrying out fishing operations, ranging from tens of meters apart to hundreds of meters away. Su Ming used his mental power to submerge himself into the water and get in touch with the Overlord Turtle under the water.

"Pay attention to safety and don't get caught!" Su Ming warned.

More than ten meters below the surface of the water, a giant soft-shell turtle grabbed a passing silver carp and swallowed it in its stomach after a few squeaks. Again, as long as it doesn't encounter humans, it will be the overlord of the river.
