After Jiang Feng left, Ji Xue and Tan Wenwen looked at each other, neither of them spoke in an atmosphere, and they actually looked a little embarrassed for a while.

In fact, Jiang Feng didn't know that Ji Xue and Tan Wenwen hadn't been in touch for many years.

This time, Ji Xue also suddenly received a call from Manager Fang Mei two days ago, saying that there was a woman named Tan Wenwen who claimed to be her friend and wanted to contact her, so she reconnected with Tan Wenwen.

Old friends were surprised and nervous when they came to visit Ji Xue, and when she went to the train station to pick up people, she actually didn't say much to Tan Wenwen, but just greeted her simply.

"You ......"

"Can you uncover it now?" Tan Wenwen asked.

"Absolutely. Ji Xue nodded.

Tan Wenwen lifted the lid, and the rich and domineering fragrance with a strong Huadiao wine that belonged to the Watan Huadiao Chicken came to her face, and soon occupied this area and quickly spread around.

The waiters and ladies who returned to Taifeng Building one after another couldn't help but look at the 37 tables, and felt strange in their hearts, why did the tile altar flower carving chicken serve so early, and now it is not the guest who has not yet reached business hours?

Tan Wenwen squinted slightly in a little intoxication the first time she smelled the smell, and soon opened them again, looking at the tile altar carved chicken in the casserole, with a look of nostalgia.

"I haven't smelled it in years. ”

"That's... Or... Do you taste it?" Ji Xue looked at Tan Wenwen nervously and carefully.

Tan Wenwen picked up the chopsticks and quickly picked out a piece of chicken with a good part, the meat was firm, the skin was shiny, and it looked particularly dazzling because of the honey brushing.

Entrance, eyebrows and eyes curved.

"It's delicious, but it's still a little worse than what Grandpa made. Tan Wenwen said with a smile.

Hearing Tan Wenwen say this, Ji Xue breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't have Master Tan's skills. ”

"But it's already good. Tan Wenwen looked very happy.

Ji Xue looked at Tan Wenwen, bit her lower lip a little nervously, and took a deep breath: "Wenwen, don't you think it's strange? ”

"You won't feel ......"

"What do you think? You stole it when you were an apprentice in my back kitchen?" Tan Wenwen said very directly.

Ji Xue stopped talking.

"You're an apprentice, so even if you do, it's nothing. Tan Wenwen suddenly remembered something, raised her neck, and looked at Taifeng Lou again, "Grandpa took care of him in the hospital during the last time, and he kept telling me that he regretted it, and he should have directly accepted you as an apprentice to teach you the practice of carving chickens in the tile altar as it was." He said that you are very talented in cooking, but you are stupid, and he often deliberately asks you to work next to him, just so that you can see how the Huadiao chicken is made at night, but you always keep your head down and don't look around. ”

"How good it is now, everyone is happy, you have learned this dish of Grandpa Huadiao Chicken in the tile altar and has not been lost, and he must be very happy under Jiuquan. ”

Ji Xue looked at Tan Wenwen and was a little excited: "But... But it's your family's dish, and I'm just a ......."

"Chubby, what the hell are you worried about? Tan Wenwen said with a smile, "If you really want to talk about it, everyone in our family is ashamed of you, why do you look like a thief." ”

With the title of chubby, Ji Xue's originally nervous and scared emotions were suddenly soothed.

It's been a long time since she's been called.

Ji Xue liked round things very much when she was a child, round pandas, round cats, round dogs, or birds that were fed round, she liked them all, and even tried to feed her sister round when Ji Xia was very young, giving Ji Xia snacks all day long.

That's why she got such a chubby nickname that doesn't match her appearance and figure.

"Do you know how I got in touch with you all of a sudden?" Tan Wenwen asked.

"How did you get in touch?" Ji Xue was also curious.

"It's a coincidence, aren't I a senior this year? I haven't been home since I was in college, the tuition fee is a loan, and the living expenses are earned by my own part-time job, and I am so busy every day that I don't have the leisure time to watch variety shows or do other things. During the summer vacation this year, I found an internship in a good unit, which was relatively stable, and I wanted to watch Chinese medicine in the dormitory to relax during the National Day holiday, and then my roommate recommended you to participate in the variety show of the chef competition. ”

"I was originally going to Zhang Guanghang, but I didn't expect to see you on the show. I called and asked the company that was running the contest, and they said they couldn't reveal the contestants. Originally, I thought there was no way, but I suddenly thought that you made a tile altar carved chicken in the show, maybe you are already working in other restaurants, so I searched for this dish on the Internet, and then I searched for Taifeng Building. Tan Wenwen smiled as she spoke, "At first, I went to find the official micro of Taifeng Building, but the staff of the official micro ignored me at all. Before I called your front desk, I was thinking, if the front desk ignored me, I would simply run to Beiping and block people at the door of your Taifeng Building, I don't believe that I can't block you. ”

Tan Wenwen said that Ji Xue was a negative man.

Ji Xue snorted and laughed: "Then you're not afraid that you won't be able to block me and be arrested by the police?"

"I'm just blocking at the door and not coming in to make trouble, call the police to arrest me for something. Tan Wenwen's eyes widened.

After some laughter, the atmosphere between the two was obviously much better, as if they had returned to their childhood.

"Chubby, do you remember the last time we met?" Tan Wenwen propped her head and looked at the tile altar carved chicken in the casserole.

"Actually, it was two years ago. Ji Xue said, "I went to Master Tan's funeral, but I didn't dare to go in and only dared to watch at the door, I saw you, but I didn't dare to go over to say hello when your parents were on the side." ”

Ji Xue remembers very well that Tan Weizhou's funeral was very large, and it can even be said to be very beautiful. She easily found out that the funeral time had passed early, but she only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to go in, for fear of being recognized by Tan Lin and his wife.

That day, Tan Lin and his wife, Tan Wenwen and Tan Rui were all standing at the door, and even if they were far away, she could see the expressions on their faces clearly. Only Tan Wenwen and Tan Rui are really sad, and only he knows what Tan Lin is sad about.

She hid outside during the funeral that day and didn't dare to go in, and even worshipped until everyone left before daring to go to the cemetery and put a bouquet of flowers in front of Tan Weizhou's grave.

"Actually, I went to look for you later, I went to your house to find you after I graduated from high school and got the admission letter, but after ringing the doorbell, the family told me that your family had already sold the house. Tan Wenwen said, "I don't know where you moved to, and I don't have your phone, and the two of us didn't even add QQ." ”

Ji Xue was stunned, obviously she didn't expect that after she left the Tan family's restaurant, Tan Wenwen would actually go to her house to find her.

Once it was opened, the conversation box couldn't be contained, Tan Wenwen didn't dare to say it when she got off the train with a stomach in her heart, but now that she finally opened the conversation, she naturally had to spit it out.

"Actually, my mom called the police and said that you were framing you by stealing that tuna, and I always knew very well in my heart. I wanted to tell the police that my mom was lying, but my mom glared at me and I didn't dare to say it. Tan Wenwen smiled bitterly.

"Tuna?"

"You really don't know, how could the police go to the police for a yellow croaker, my mom reported that you stole a bluefin tuna from our store. Tan Wenwen said, "Actually, I saw it that day, my mother went into the kitchen that night and threw a yellow croaker on the kitchen counter, saying that this fish was not needed and told me to throw it away, and you later took it away and brought it home, and I also saw it." ”

"My mother called the police, I wanted to tell the truth to the police, but my mother stared at me, and I didn't dare. My mom lied to you, she asked you if you stole a fish, and you stupidly admitted it in front of the police. Later, when I saw that you had nothing to do, I still deceived myself in my heart and comforted myself, anyway, you were only fired by my mother, and my mother wanted to fire you when my grandfather expressed that he wanted to take you as an apprentice. ”

"But I didn't expect them to do so much!" Tan Wenwen said excitedly, and even gritted her teeth a little, "She let you keep a case record in the police station, and she actually wanted to continue to hold you accountable and let you be sentenced to prison, if it wasn't for grandpa's hair, she found someone and got angry at home, she might have ......"

Ji Xue held Tan Wenwen's hand and comforted: "You didn't dare to say that I could understand, and I never blamed you, although I didn't steal any bluefin tuna, but it is a fact that I stole yellow croaker." ”

"What kind of fact is that, the yellow croaker she said she didn't want, and I acquiesced if you took it, if it was all called stealing, then what was not stealing!" Tan Wenwen said angrily.

Tan Wenwen calmed down: "I didn't dare to say it at that time, but I knew more when I went to high school, and I always had a guilty conscience after knowing how terrible it was for a person to leave a criminal record." At that time, I especially wanted to go to your house to find you and apologize to you, and dragged you to tell my grandfather that you didn't steal anything and went to the police station to retract your confession, but I still didn't dare. ”

"After you left the shop, my grandfather was actually angry for many years, and he thought you really stole the fish. During the summer vacation of my junior year of high school, I went to your house to find that you had been in a very bad mood since you moved away, and when I was helping in the store, my mother always liked to hold on to that thing, and told my grandfather that he had a bad vision at the beginning and wanted to accept a person with bad conduct like you as an apprentice. Once, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I quarreled with my mother in front of my grandfather, saying that you didn't steal tuna at all, and my mother reported false police to frame you. ”

"My grandfather was furious and wanted to go to the police station to overturn the case, but my parents knelt down and begged him that if my grandfather went to overturn the case, they would be sentenced to prison if they reported false police and framed people like this. After arguing like this for several days, my dad made my grandfather so angry that he fell ill, and since then he has been in the hospital until he died. ”

"My dad came up with the idea of calling the police to frame you, and he was afraid that his grandfather would take you as an apprentice and pass on the practice of carving chickens in the tile altar to you, so he came up with this trick. My grandfather scolded him at that time for being a wolf-hearted dog, and he was a black beast when he put his heart aside. ”

As she spoke, Tan Wenwen became excited again: "My grandfather didn't scold me at all, my dad is a thing that is not even as good as a beast." After my grandfather fell ill, there was no chef in the Tan family's restaurant, and my mother hired another chef outside, and the business was not as good as before. My dad hated me and threatened to never give me a penny again without me, and if it weren't for the fact that my brother secretly stuffed me with the pocket money and New Year's money he had saved for so many years, maybe I would really starve to death outside. ”

"After that, he didn't go to the hospital to see my grandfather, and basically my brother went. During my grandfather's last days, I took a leave of absence from school and stayed in the hospital for more than two weeks until he died. ”

"Fatty, originally I didn't believe in the good reincarnation of the heavens, and the heavens forgave anyone, but now it seems that karma is tried, and if you do too much evil, you will be struck by lightning. Although Tan Wenwen was relieved, it could be seen from her expression that she was actually not very happy.

"After Grandpa's death, the Tan family's small restaurant collapsed, and later even the store was sold, and the miscellaneous things in the store couldn't be sold, so he threw them away. I asked my brother to secretly leave a casserole as a souvenir, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now. I remember that my grandfather originally said that the longer you use to make the clay pot of Huadiao chicken, the better the Huadiao chicken will be, which is the same as the purple clay pot for boiling Chinese medicine, and the longer the year, the better the effect. Tan Wenwen said and laughed again, "Originally, I just wanted to stay as a souvenir, but now it seems that I really stayed right." ”

"Now...... How is your family?" asked Ji Xue tentatively.

"Not very good. My dad has always been used to being lavish, living like a prodigal boy and he has no skills, and the money from the store has been spent almost in the past two years, and now he is living a tight life and quarreling with my mother at home every day. It's just a pity that my brother is still in high school, and he has to stay at home, and I haven't been back for many years, and I haven't been back for the Chinese New Year, and I took my brother over during the holidays. Tan Wenwen said, "Don't talk about these unhappy things, let's talk about you, how have you been doing all these years?"

"It's good. Ji Xue smiled, "My mother's breast cancer has been cured, and although my father's illness has not yet recovered, it is ...... But at least people are still alive. Originally, the work was quite unstable, and I kept changing and doing some scattered odd jobs. I started working in my own shop in July this year, and the one who helped me serve the food just now was my boss, who also worked in the back kitchen, and their family skills are ancestral. ”

"Xia Xia worshipped him as a teacher, and now his apprentice is learning the craft with him, and I am now here with food and accommodation, and the salary is also very high, and the boss and colleagues are also very good, everything is very good. ”

Ji Xue didn't want to tell Tan Wenwen about the past few years, because she knew that that would only make Tan Wenwen feel more guilty.

Not every fourteen or fifteen-year-old child has the courage to rebel against their parents, even if they know that what their parents are doing is wrong, they only dare to bury that justice in their hearts.

"That's good. Tan Wenwen smiled.

"Let's eat the food, we've been talking for so long and the food is cold. This dish is called crab stuffed orange is our boss's specialty, and this bowl of fried noodles is made by Xia Xia. Ji Xue introduced.

"Oh, really, you didn't say it earlier. You should have told me at the beginning that the noodles made by Xia Xia let me eat them, and now that they have been left for so long, they must have collapsed. Tan Wenwen pretended to be angry, and just now because she talked about the unhappiness she had brought her, it disappeared in an instant.

"The one who picked me up at the door just now was Xia Xia, I recognized her, she didn't recognize me at all! Tan Wenwen scolded with a smile.

"How old was she when you gave Xia Xia Sai chocolate, she was not even 10 years old, how could Xia Xia remember after so many years. "Ji Xue naturally wants to maintain Xia Xia.

"Okay, I can't say you, eat vegetables and eat vegetables, it's really muddy. ”

There was laughter.
