Yang Ruo felt that things were no longer what he imagined.
Seeing Li Mingtang's look at Yang Fan, I don't know why, Yang Ruo had a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart.
He said that if Yang Fan succeeded, he would promise him a condition, why did he say that, and he looked at Yang Fan with such a strange look.
But Yang Fan's big words have already been spoken.
Yang Ruo knew that although Yang Fan was young, his self-esteem was still quite strong, and he was as proud as someone. Just like learning to ride a horse, he really learned kung fu in less than a while, and the same is true for shooting, Yang Fan also has a good talent.
If Yang Ruo is here, it will hit his self-confidence, it will definitely make him very sad. So she walked over, patted Yang Fan's shoulder, and said softly: "Brother Fan, today's incident is caused by yourself." You're just going to hit it. If you don't get it, you have to remember the promises you made to others. ”
Yang Fan looked at Yang Ruo, his eyes were full of attachment, and he said with a little pride: "Third sister, don't worry, I will never embarrass you." I know it's not easy for my sister, you are doing things desperately for our family. ”
After speaking, Yang Fan pursed his lips and stopped talking, and then slowly raised the small slingshot in his hand.
If Yang Fan had an ordinary slingshot in his hand, he would definitely not have this confidence.
However, his slingshot was made by Wang Qi for him, it was a real slingshot, and the slingshot was also made of iron marbles, which had considerable lethality if the power was used properly.
Wang Qi once taught Yang Fan to shoot hand-in-hand, although it is a slingshot played by children, it is not an ordinary slingshot.
Yang Fan only knew that this slingshot was not ordinary, and he was also very confident in his slingshot skills.
After finishing speaking, Yang Fan aimed the slingshot tightly at the woodpecker, unaware of the approaching danger.
Thinking of the shooting tips that Wang Qi once taught him, he had to be consistent. Concentrate on the target, keep your eyes on the target, and whatever happens in the outside world has nothing to do with him.
Yang Fan was busy concentrating and calming down, and there was only a piece of emptiness left in his heart, and the poor woodpecker whose target was gradually getting bigger.
"When you only have a goal in mind, your success concentration rate is about 90 percent."
The words that Wang Qi said flashed in his heart, and with a "whoosh" sound, it was too late, it was too fast, and the iron marble in Yang Fan's hand came out of his hand.
Hearing only a faint sound of breaking the air, the woodpecker couldn't help flapping its wings, and after a wail in its mouth, it fell directly to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
Li Yuheng was stunned, and at the moment when the woodpecker fell, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and screamed.
"Hit!" Yang Fan also cheered happily in his mouth, and then rushed out of the door like an arrow off the string.
Li Mingtang nodded secretly, and the Yang family also breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn't want Yang Fan to come back dejected after a while.
Yang Qing hurriedly stepped forward and saw that Yang Fan's hand was empty, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Fan, what about the woodpecker you hit, didn't you hit it?" ”
Yang Fan also felt aggrieved, and couldn't help but pout: "I obviously hit it, but when I went to look under the tree, the woodpecker was gone." ”
Li Mingtang heard this, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Fan, don't be discouraged, maybe it was the one who passed by and picked up the bird, not necessarily." When you get under the tree, do you see blood on the ground? ”
Yang Fan thought about it and shook his head.
But he seemed to see a little dark red on the grass again, but he was not sure, so he shook his head.
Li Mingtang couldn't help laughing, "It is estimated that your strength is too light, but you hit the woodpecker and let it fall directly, we see that it is indeed true." ”
couldn't say why, Yang Ruo saw Yang Fan returning empty-handed, but he became happy.
Li Yuheng saw that Yang Fan didn't catch the woodpecker, so he couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "Yang Fan, you have nothing to say now, I am willing to lose the bet." ”
Yang Fan glanced at Li Yuheng with some annoyance, and saw her little face, which looked as good as a blooming flower, but he was depressed in his heart, he couldn't help but hang his hand, walked up to her and said, "Since I lost, what I said before, naturally count." ”
Li Mingtang said: "Yu'er, don't mess around, Brother Fan obviously shot." ”
Li Yuheng pouted unhappily, "Uncle, you are partial, we obviously agreed, and he agreed." ”
Seeing this, Yang Ruo couldn't help but say: "Uncle Li, Brother Fan is not a child anymore, since he promised and failed to do it, he should be responsible for his actions." ”
Li Mingtang thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, anyway, we came here today to ask you to go to the Li family to help." What I told you that day, Shopkeeper Zhao has already agreed, so it's better to let Brother Fan accompany you. ”
"Uncle might as well sit down and talk about it, I have to think about it."
Yang Ruo invited Li Mingtang to sit down, and it was indeed Yang Ruo who served the table, and they usually drank the honey mint water. With the current conditions of the Yang family, they can't even take out the tea leaves for entertaining guests. Yang Ruo's face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
Li Mingtang didn't care, and after taking a sip, he couldn't help but nodded, "What kind of water is this, it tastes very special?" ”
"Let Uncle Li smile, this is honey mint water, drink it often, not only can freshen people's breath, but also soothe the liver and relieve depression, and increase appetite."
Li Mingtang couldn't help but say, "This is good, better than drinking tea." It's just that I don't understand why you have to think about it now after you promised me that day. ”
Li Yuheng also drank honey mint water for the first time, and the cup in front of her was quickly drunk, and then she looked at the big cup of mint water pitifully.
Seeing this, Yang Ruo hurriedly filled the cup in front of her.
Li Yuheng couldn't help but glance at Yang Ruo gratefully, and politely said thank you.
"The young lady is actually me today, pestering my uncle to come over, because I haven't seen the young lady for a few days, and I miss you a little. I thought, if I pick you up at night, you can sleep with me, and I want to listen to your story. After Li Yuheng finished speaking, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue mischievously, "grunt" a few sips, and drank all the mint water in front of him.
Seeing that Yang Ruo hadn't said anything yet, Li Mingtang hurriedly took out a money bag from his side. After Li Mingtang finished speaking, when the money bag was placed on the table, he made a heavy sound. Yang Ruo knew that there was a lot of silver here, and she couldn't help but look at him in astonishment. "Uncle Li, what do you mean by that?"
"To show our sincerity, this is a deposit, which is specially requested for you. When the banquet is finished, there is another half of the honorarium. You can rest assured that this is your personal share, and it has nothing to do with good guests. After Li Mingtang took out the money bag, seeing that Yang Ruo's expression did not change in the slightest, he also secretly sighed in his heart, could it be that this girl is going to change her mind!
Seeing that Li Mingtang has performed on this, he is really sincere enough. Although Yang Ruo needs money very much, she still has no bottom in her heart. Then he said, "I'm afraid I can't do it alone, unless I bring a few people from a good visitor." ”
"This is not really necessary. We also have chefs in Li Mansion, but the ladies and ladies in our Mansion were very surprised when they heard about your cooking skills, and said that they wanted to taste something fresh, so they took the opportunity of this banquet to invite you to show your hand. ”
Yang Ruo was even more worried when she heard this, she was not a rookie who didn't understand anything. In the past, I watched a lot of house fights and palace fight dramas. Those women in the courtyard of the deep house have a little bit of a small ninety-nine in their hearts.
Don't you want her to be cannon fodder this time, right?
After thinking about it, Yang Ruo was ready to resign. "Uncle Li, you better take the deposit back first, I'm just afraid that I, a cook who can't get on the table, will make dishes that sweep the Yaxing of those ladies and ladies."
Li Mingtang didn't have the slightest intention of taking it back, as if he was sure that Yang Ruo would definitely agree. "It's just a small honorarium, but when I went out, I patted my chest with adults. If you don't go, let me go back and explain how to do it. ”
At this time, Li Yuheng also hurriedly said: "Little sister, you just go to show your hand." But I told them how good you are. ”
After Li Yuheng finished saying this, he couldn't wait to bite off his tongue.
This will make Yang Ruo finally know why Li Yuheng came to her in such a hurry. It's going to roast her on the fire.
Yang Ruo didn't have to think about it to know that someone must be saying that she was not behind her back, and this upright Yu'er bet with others.
Yang Ruo never thought that one day he would become the talking point of those rich and noble people's dinner tables. I didn't even think about cooking for those rich and noble people, those people, all their eyes were looking at the sky, she didn't want to touch her head.
Originally, she just wanted to be in a quiet place, cook her own food, and then earn money to support her family.
But things in the world are often involuntary, just like now.
Yu'er is a good girl, very sincere to her, and treats her as the best sister. Although she said that she leaked her mouth, since she knew about this matter, she wanted to stay out of it, and it seemed that she couldn't say it.
Yang Ruo is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated.
This Li Mingtang and Yu'er were her first guests after coming here. The icing on the cake is good, but it is the most precious thing to send charcoal in the snow.
Seeing that Yang Ruo was thinking, Yu'er was about to cry anxiously, she couldn't help shaking Yang Ruo's arm and said, "Little sister, you must go, your craftsmanship is so good, I see that after you show your hand this time, who else dares to underestimate you." ”
Yu'er really wanted to defend her.
Yang Ruo couldn't help but smile and said, "I really convinced you." But I agreed to go this time, also for your sake, not for anything else. ”
Li Mingtang obviously didn't expect Yang Ruo to be so straightforward, he couldn't help laughing. "Miss Yang is really refreshing, I, Li Mingtang, do things, and I also like simple people." Seeing that Yang Ruo finally agreed, the color on his face also looked better. I only heard him continue: "But don't worry, with me, no one dares to bully you." Once you're there, just use your cooking skills to make delicious dishes. Others, don't bother. ”
Yang Ruo didn't want to cause trouble, but when trouble really came to her head, she was not a soft persimmon, and she was pinched casually.
