Chapter 14: Departure to Ripple City
The charcoal fire had been lit, and Dongfang Qingmo placed the skewers that had been prepared long ago on it.
Dongfang Qiong looked at the various meats, vegetables, fruits, and some unknown ingredients on the shelves. He pointed at the food curiously and asked, "Mo'er, what is this?"
"Dad, this is called barbecue." Dongfang Qingmo explained with a smile.
Yu Jing also came over and asked in confusion, "What is barbecue?"
"Barbecue is a special cooking method," Dongfang Qingmo explained patiently. "It involves slowly grilling the food we want to eat over charcoal. Generally speaking, it's enough to just cook the food over a fire until it's edible. This cooking method creates a crispy crust on the surface while keeping the food tender and fresh inside, giving it a unique aroma and flavor."
Hearing this, Yu Jing couldn't help drooling and said excitedly, "That sounds great! I must try it!"
Dongfang Qiong turned to look at his daughter and asked with a smile, "Mo'er, you read all this in a book, right?"
"Of course, I like to read books when I have nothing to do!" Dongfang Qingmo blinked mischievously.
It is safer to attribute the credit to the "book".
At this moment, Dongfang Qingshui suddenly interrupted and said, "Which book? Lend it to me!"
Dongfang Qingmo was speechless for a moment. She couldn't possibly say it was the Complete Works of 21st Century Cooking! So she replied vaguely, "I'll give it to you after I finish reading it."
"Okay!" Dongfang Qingshui agreed readily.
What a great head! Just wait, I'll burn it with an empty fire right away.
As time goes by, the skewers keep making "sizzling" sounds, as if telling people the joy that they are about to mature.
At the same time, the tempting aroma slowly rose along with the smoke and spread throughout the courtyard.
Then, she grabbed a handful of the seasoning she had prepared in advance and gently sprinkled it on the skewers, her movements a little clumsy.
After all, this was her first time doing barbecue.
In the past, when she celebrated the Chinese New Year in modern times, her brothers and sisters would get together to have barbecues. She had only seen how it was done but had never actually tried it.
Technically, they were all her guinea pigs.
After a pause of four or five seconds, the first batch of skewers finally came out of the pot.
Dongfang Qingmo carefully took the skewers off the grill, divided them evenly into several portions, and handed them to everyone present.
Everyone eagerly took the skewers and began to taste them, their eyes revealing their anticipation and enjoyment of the delicious food.
"Grandfather, grandma, please try it." Dongfang Qingmo said with a smile, his eyes full of concern.
Dongfang Yiba took the skewer, took a bite without hesitation, and savored the delicious taste.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he praised loudly: "It tastes great, Mo'er, you are so filial!"
Qin Huailan carefully picked up the skewer, took a small bite, and chewed it slowly.
A happy smile appeared on her face, and she whispered, "It's delicious!"
"Well, the taste is really wonderful. I have never tasted skewers like this before." Dongfang Qiong nodded with satisfaction and expressed his appreciation for Dongfang Qingmo's cooking skills.
"It's really delicious, Mo'er. I didn't expect you to have such superb cooking skills." Yu Jing couldn't help but admire.
Dongfang Ti also praised Dongfang Qingmo's skewers, saying, "The taste is just right, and paired with this iced orange juice, it's fantastic!"
Dongfang Qingshui made no secret of her enjoyment, wolfing down the skewers and drinking orange juice. As she ate, she mumbled, "Sister, you can open a barbecue restaurant with your skills."
Dongfang Qingshui's words were exactly what she wanted! !
The next skewers were left to Yunmei and the others to grill.
Having laid the groundwork here, Dongfang Qingmo is about to get to the point.
"As long as everyone enjoys their meal," Dongfang Qingmo smiled slightly, then looked at everyone and said seriously, "Actually, the reason I called everyone here today, besides sharing barbecue, is because I have something important to discuss. My brother told me that our restaurant in Lianyi City is closing soon. I want to help Dad out and use my barbecue skills to take over the restaurant in Lianyi City."
She was quite straightforward.
As soon as the words fell, the yard suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Dongfang Qiong spoke first: "Mo'er, are you really sure you can run a restaurant successfully? It's not an easy task. Besides, Lianyi City is a hundred miles away from Xuan City."
He really planned to close the shop. The restaurant in Lianyi City was suffering heavy losses, and it would be a waste to keep it open.
If Dongfang Qingmo wanted to take over, it was not impossible, but the round trip was a bit far and he was worried that there would be bad people on the way.
"Yes, Mo'er, you are a girl, and your mother is really worried!"
Yu Jing is usually busy with household affairs and external social activities, and has no extra time to accompany Dongfang Qingmo to open a shop.
"Dad, Mom, I have confidence." Dongfang Qingmo said firmly, "Also, I believe this novel barbecue technology will definitely attract more customers."
"Furthermore, if this is done, we only need to focus on the early stages, and leave the later stages to the shopkeeper."
She just watched the martial arts competition over there and came back! !
Dongfang Qingshuimo: So you were waiting here! ?
Dongfang Ti nodded and supported it, "I think Mo'er's idea is good. If he can successfully take over the restaurant, it will be of great help to the family business."
Dongfang Ti also felt that women should not only live to take care of their husbands and children, but should also think about themselves.
So Dongfang Qingmo had this idea and he supported it.
Dongfang Yiba was silent for a moment, then said, "Since Mo'er is determined, let's give it a try. Isn't A-Ti going to Lianyi City to prepare for the sect competition these days? I'll leave Mo'er to you."
Dongfang Ti has been practicing martial arts since childhood and is passionate about it. He is also one of the organizers of martial arts competitions.
Simply put, it is the investor.
Dongfang Qingshui suggested, "Grandfather, I'll go too. I still have half a month before I go to the grassland!"
"Okay, you go protect Mo'er too!"
Qin Huailan wanted to give Dongfang Qingmo some advice, "Mo'er, grandma supports this. When I was young, I also wanted to achieve something, but I never had the chance. I'm very happy that you think this way. But it's not convenient for you, a woman, to go out. You should always dress as a man! And make sure Yunmei follows you closely."
"Yes, Mo'er will remember my grandmother's teachings."
Since their parents had already spoken, Dongfang Qiong and Yu Jing naturally couldn't say anything more.
Everyone agreed and began to discuss the specific implementation plan.
Dongfang Qingmo was secretly delighted, she knew that she was one step closer to her goal.
After achieving their goal, everyone left with a full stomach and a satisfying meal.
Dongfang Qingmo was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
"Sister Yun, shall we set off the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"You guys should pack up too. I'll take the seven of you with me!"
"I obey my orders!"
Two days later, just as the sun rose, Dongfang Qingmo had packed his bags, dressed in men's clothes, and appeared in front of the mansion in high spirits.
However, if you look closely, you can see faint bruises and dark circles under her eyes, which clearly shows that she didn't sleep well in the past two days.
There was no way, she was just too excited.
Things were going a little too smoothly.
"Mo'er, didn't you get enough rest?" Yu Jing looked at her distressedly, her eyes filled with worry and reluctance, "Or, why don't you just not go..."
The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.
She couldn't bear to see her daughter leave home, and even more so, she couldn't bear to see her suffer.
Dongfang Qingmo smiled and shook his head: "Mom, I'm fine, I'm just a little excited."
This is a unique opportunity for her to grow and prove her abilities.
Dongfang Ti on the side also hurriedly comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will always keep an eye on Mo'er. Besides, Mo'er is so sensible and obedient, he will definitely not make any mistakes!" He patted his chest and assured, with a firm light flashing in his eyes.
"Mom, I'm here too!" Dongfang Qingshui also came over.
Dongfang Qiong said with a look of disgust, "Mo'er is going to do something important. It's not like he made any mistakes. Stop crying."
Yu Jing glared at Dongfang Qiong, then turned around and hugged Dongfang Qingmo's arm tightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "You have never been so far away from home since you were a child, how can I feel at ease." As she spoke, she gently stroked Dongfang Qingmo's hair, her heart full of reluctance.
Dongfang Qingmo felt her mother's love and concern, and her heart warmed. She whispered to comfort her, "Mom, I will be back soon, don't worry."
"Mo'er, you must take Yunmei and the others with you wherever you go, okay?" Yu Jing said worriedly again.
"I know! As for grandma..." Dongfang Qingmo looked at Yu Jing with some concern.
Qin Huailan was not feeling well, so she did not come to see him off.
Yu Jing comforted her, "I'm taking care of your grandmother, so don't worry. By the way, this is something your grandfather asked me to give you." As she spoke, she patted Dongfang Qingmo's hand and stuffed a bulging purse into her hand.
Dongfang Qingmo took it and weighed it in his hand.
Ouch, it's quite heavy...
Dongfang Qingshui, who was standing by, noticed this with his sharp eyes and said, "Mom, grandpa is partial to me. Why wasn't there any for me when I was away on a trip?!" He looked aggrieved and felt unbalanced in his heart.
Yu Jing glared at Dongfang Qingshui. "Alright, you're a man, and you don't need to buy rouge, powder, gold or silver jewelry when you go out. What are you doing?"
Dongfang Qiong also echoed: "That's right, son, what do you want this money for?"
"But..." Dongfang Qingshui wanted to argue a few more words, but was interrupted by Dongfang Qiong.
Dongfang Qiong turned to Dongfang Qingmo and said gently: "Mo'er, this is what your father gave you. Don't save it when you are outside. If it is not enough, ask your second uncle for more. Do you hear me?" After that, he also stuffed a purse into Dongfang Qingmo's hand.
Dongfang Qingmo was so moved that tears almost fell from his eyes, "Thank you, Daddy!"
"Don't be polite, everything that belongs to daddy is yours." Dongfang Qiong touched Dongfang Qingmo's head lovingly.
Oriental Light Water: ...
Differentiated treatment is vividly reflected at this moment.
Dongfang Ti: "It's almost time, let's go!"
"Mo'er, you must take care of yourself! Take good care of yourself!"
"Mother, Father, you too must take care..."
Dongfang Qingshui rolled his eyes. He vaguely remembered that when he went on a long journey for the first time, Yu Jing only threw him a package and told him to be careful on the road, and that was all.
It’s not like now, where we are inseparable.
Dongfang Qingmo stepped onto the carriage steps, opened the curtain and waved to them.
Dongfang Qingshui and Dongfang Ti also got on the carriage soon after.
The maids and guards followed behind the carriage, a total of fifty people.
There were several luggage carts behind.
They all sat on both sides of the cart.
"Brother, sister-in-law, please go back quickly. I'll take care of everything!"
After saying this, Dongfang Ti asked the driver to set off.
The wheels rolled, moving slowly forward, raising dust all the way.
Yu Jing and Dongfang Qiong stood there, watching the carriage go farther and farther away until it disappeared from their sight.
Their eyes were filled with reluctance and worry, but more of it was blessings and expectations for the children.
I hope they can be safe and return soon.
The three people in the carriage each had their own thoughts and started a new journey.
Dongfang Qiong and Yu Jing stood at the door, watching the carriage go farther and farther away. Only when it disappeared from their sight did they turn around and walk into the mansion.
After returning to the yard, Dongfang Qiong waved his hand and asked all the servants to leave.
Dongfang Qiong hugged Yu Jing tightly in his arms, rested his head gently on her shoulder, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "A Jing..."
His eyes instantly became moist, and tears flowed uncontrollably, soon soaking Yu Jing's shoulders.
Yu Jing patted his back tenderly, feeling distressed, and said softly, "I told you long ago, you're just trying to be strong."
Just now I thought she was embarrassing.
Dongfang Qiong raised his head and said firmly, "No, I'm going to Lianyi City to find her now!"
Yu Jing quickly comforted her, "Husband, you have to believe in Mo'er. She is no longer the naive child she used to be. She has really grown up, become sensible, and strong. We should give her some space to let her grow on her own."
Dongfang Qiong gritted his teeth and said with a worried look on his face, "But she has never left Xuancheng since she was a child. How can I be at ease?"
As he spoke, his 1.80-meter-tall frame actually trembled slightly, and he choked with sobs: "No, I'm still worried. I have to arrange things in Xuancheng properly, and then leave for Lianyi City to see her in a few days."
Yu Jing sighed helplessly. She knew this seemingly calm man was actually a quiet firecracker, ready to explode at the slightest provocation. It seemed she needed to spend some time convincing him.
-
On the way to Lianyi City, Dongfang Qingmo and his group were talking and laughing.
Dongfang Ti: "Mo'er, should we stay in the wing of our own restaurant, or find another inn? Our restaurant is a bit broke..."
"Let's stay at the restaurant, Second Uncle."
After all, it's your own territory, and you can feel relaxed and comfortable.
Dongfang Ti: "That's fine."
