The villa area near the Tangshan Sanatorium.

With the help of Sister Fen, Mu Xiao tried to loosen the crutches, one step at a time, two steps and three steps, her steps were not steady at all, like a toddler, but when Mu Xiao walked to the fourth and fifth steps, Sister Fen's eyes were full of joy.

Mu Xiao's recovery speed is faster than expected, on the one hand, the team responsible for rehabilitation has formulated a reasonable plan, and on the other hand, Mu Xiao has always maintained a positive and optimistic attitude in the matter of rehabilitation.

Mu Xiao's state is getting better, and Sister Fen's mood is also becoming relaxed.

An artist's career is fragile, and if there is not enough exposure, it is easy to become a passerby who no one cares about in an instant.

Even Mu Xiao is the same.

Fortunately, Mu Xiao is now recuperating from her injury, and several works she has filmed before are on the air, so as long as Mu Xiao can recover smoothly, she will hardly be affected too much.

There was a crisp applause behind him, Mu Xiao subconsciously turned around, and before he could see who was coming, his legs suddenly lost strength, he went weak, and fell to the ground, the ground was covered with thick turf, and it didn't hurt at all when he threw it up, and he smelled grass.

Qiao Zhi didn't expect his sudden appearance, which overwhelmed Mu Xiao, fell down, walked over with guilt on his face, and pulled Mu Xiao up.

Mu Xiao felt that Qiao Zhi's palm was rough and powerful, and the speed of his heart suddenly beating faster.

"You're recovering well, and in a month or two, you'll be able to walk normally. Qiao Zhi smiled and encouraged.

"Even though I can walk, it's still a while before filming. Mu Xiao sighed helplessly, "Half a year, I missed a lot." ”

Qiao Zhi smiled: "Did you really miss it? Several dramas you have filmed before have been released recently, the box office of the movie is still good, and the ratings of the TV series are also very high, your appeal is still there, the market recognizes you, and the audience likes you." ”

Mu Xiao said with a smile: "Have you changed your style today? ”

Qiao Zhi said: "I am in a good mood, and my speech has become pleasant." Seeing that you are recovering so well, the stone hanging in your heart has finally landed. ”

Mu Xiao snorted, "When I'm alive, you'll be free, won't you?"

Qiao Zhi smiled: "You got it right." ”

Mu Xiao said softly: "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of old man." I haven't bothered you much because you've been injured for so long, every time you come uninvited and treat me here as your own backyard. ”

Qiao Zhi smiled and changed the subject: "Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat?"

Mu Xiao's mood quickly became brighter, "Okay, you have a little conscience." ”

Qiao Zhi was busy in the kitchen for a while, and brought a scallion pancake and a pot of green tea.

Mu Xiao looked at the scallion pancake, glanced at Qiao Zhi strangely, and said, "Today's is a bit simple." ”

Qiao Zhi smiled and said: "It looks simple, but in fact, there is something inside. ”

The scallion pancake is cut into a fan shape, and next to it is a stack of red sauce, golden in color, covered with a layer of white sesame seeds, bubbling with the aroma of hot eggs and flour, and the smell of green onions is very faint but very clear.

"It smells good. Mu Xiao wrapped it in blotting paper, picked up a piece, and took a bite.

It was a little hot, Mu Xiao couldn't help but hiss, but the next moment he closed his mouth.

The complex and rich fragrance suddenly rushed into the mouth, the rich egg flavor, no greasy feeling, with the layer of pancakes mixed with green tea on top, there is a clear fragrance, it is simply a feast for the taste buds in the mouth.

"Well, it's pretty good to eat. Mu Xiao took a big bite this time, the crisp sound of "click", the outside was a little crispy, but the inside was very soft, plus the inside was mixed with a taste like meat floss, warm and slightly flexible, so Mu Xiao couldn't help but admire.

Sister Fen also began to taste egg cakes, eating a bite of cakes and drinking a sip of tea, and the depression that had plagued her recently was instantly diluted, and her mind was completely filled with the excitement and joy brought by food.

Seeing Sister Fen and Mu Xiao eating so happily, Qiao Zhi's mood also became soothed.

The joy of cooking is, on the one hand, the pleasure of tasting food, and on the other hand, the satisfaction of seeing one's work recognized by others.

Recently, he has been learning to make all kinds of cakes, and among the Lu cuisine, cakes are a delicacy that cannot be avoided.

He is not to specialize in Lu cuisine, but to cultivate his mind and mood.

If you can make the cake bigger and rounder, the world will not treat you badly.

Mu Xiao and Sister Fen finished eating all the scallion pancakes, and Mu Xiao couldn't help but burp, "My mother likes to eat pasta very much, she wasn't here today, it's a pity." ”

Qiao Zhi said: "I made a lot, and some of them are in the kitchen, so I can leave a copy for my aunt." ”

Mu Xiao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Let's eat it while it's hot, if it's cold, it may not be delicious, isn't it a waste?"

Qiao Zhi couldn't cry or laugh, but Mu Xiao made a lot of sense.

Mu Xiao and Sister Fen finished eating the rest of the scallion pancakes, and Qiao Zhi couldn't help but sigh that Mu Xiao's food was not small at all.

"Alright, I'm full. You did a good job today and can give you a hundred points. Mu Xiao said with a smile.

Sister Fen also said: "I didn't expect scallion pancakes to be so delicious." ”

Mu Xiao suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I saw a piece of news the day before yesterday, the new store you opened in Bashu and the new store of McLot Star Group, the competition is very fierce?"

Qiao Zhi was stunned and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to care about me so much." In fact, McNuggets is too narrow-minded. ”

"Narrow-minded?"

Qiao Zhi nodded solemnly, "Some people have been studying making cakes all their lives, thinking about how to use skills to make cakes bigger and bigger, but some people are thinking about how to give themselves more of this piece of bread with them." ”

Mu Xiao said with a smile: "Win-win is the king, and it is more difficult to make others respect than to make others submit." You want to be a person who is respected by others, but your opponent is making you submit. ”

Qiao Zhi looked at Mu Xiao in amazement, for a while, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that your understanding is good, if you don't follow the shadow, you will definitely be very promising." ”

Mu Xiao shook his head slightly, "I'm not the material for business, just my mouth, whoever talks to me about business, I will involuntarily stab whom, who can bear to do business with the knife master?"

Qiao Zhi smiled: "You are self-aware. However, you are not suitable for business. ”

"Oh, what's the opinion?" Mu Xiao blinked her beautiful eyes and said suspiciously.

"You're so pretty. ”

"Isn't it good to be pretty? Do you have to do business with ugly people?"

"A beautiful woman is easy to be wary. ”

Mu Xiao snorted, "Then you stay away from me, maybe one day, you will be sold by me." ”

Qiao Zhi saw Sister Fen walking away, and said with a smile: "There are many people in this world who deceive me and betray me, but they definitely don't include you, I still have this confidence." ”

Mu Xiao was stunned, and saw Qiao Zhi's sunny face, "You are very smart, do you think you will eat me?"

Qiao Zhi shook his head, "No, no, how can I have that thought, don't think about eating me, I'll thank God!"

Mu Xiao hesitated for a few seconds, what Qiao Zhi said made sense, between the two, in the final analysis, he was more active.

She said, "It's really big, who wants to eat you." Whether you're a fruit or a hamburger, not even a stinky, hard old bacon. ”

“......”

After Qiao Zhi left the villa, a man in a black jacket walked out of the shadows, he sat back in a white Geely car, and dialed a phone.

"Qiao Zhi came to look for Mu Xiao just now, and he stayed for almost two hours. ”

"I see. ”

The man on the other end of the phone put down his phone, his expression uncertain.

She still can't let go of Qiao Zhi. ”

......

After Qiao Zhi visited Mu Xiao, he went to the State Guesthouse, Wang Shimao was waiting for Qiao Zhi at the door in advance, and there were several core backbones of Wang Shimao's team by his side.

Wang Shimao admires Qiao Zhi very much, and it is not a humiliating thing to be convinced by powerful people. On the contrary, not acknowledging the excellence of others will appear to you to be narrow-minded.

Chen Renyi learned that Qiao Zhi had arrived and waited in the back kitchen.

Wang Shimao introduced: "This is my uncle, and Mr. Chen Renyi, who is also the famous chef of the state banquet, he and my master are teammates even if they are opponents, and they are known as the peerless double pride of the state guesthouse. In recent years, his focus has been biased towards Zhongnanhai, and he is responsible for more affairs there, and recently I have just taken over the work of the State Guesthouse, and the higher authorities have arranged for him to come over to guide and supervise our work in consideration of the smooth transition. ”

Qiao Zhi stretched out his hand and said, "Senior Chen, hello!"

Chen Renyi shook Qiao Zhi gently, "Your reputation is very loud, and when I saw you today, you are really young." Although there is no age in the cooking industry, if you want to be recognized by me, you still have to show enough strength. ”

Qiao Zhi heard a hint of arrogance from Chen Renyi's mouth, he didn't care too much, after all, he was not very familiar with Chen Renyi, as a national chef signboard, he not only respected his status in the culinary world, but also often dealt with dignitaries and nobles, and it was reasonable for him to be wary of himself.

"Thank you, Senior Chen, for reminding me that I came to the State Guesthouse this time with a learning mentality. Qiao Zhi said modestly, "Please give me a lot of advice." ”

Chen Renyi's first reaction was that the young man in front of him was so cowardly, and he didn't have any masculinity at all.

Qiao Zhi continued: "Every chef at the State Guesthouse is a carefully selected elite, and you not only have a solid foundation, but also have rich experience. There are so many things that need to be made up in front of you professionals like me. ”

Wang Shimao didn't expect Qiao Zhi to put his posture so low, and hurriedly said, "Chef Qiao, you are too modest. ”

Qiao Zhi said unusually seriously: "I am really not modest, but soberly aware of my own shortcomings and gaps. Every time I come to the State Guesthouse, I am very excited because I can learn from you again. ”

Chen Renyi originally thought of a lot of sharp words, relying on his "status in the rivers and lakes" to "educate" Qiao Zhi.

Who would have thought that Qiao Zhi would be so low-key, so humble, and so sincere......

Chen Renyi felt that the punch that was still accumulating strength hit the cotton, soft, light, and did not hurt others, and he wanted to vomit blood......
