Sister Liu was working in the garden outside in the morning, when she saw the gate open, she looked up, and saw that it was Su Ruotong driving in the car.

As soon as the car door opened, Su Ruotong came first, and then she opened the door of the rear seat, and the two dogs rushed down like crazy.

Sister Liu was happy all of a sudden.

Both of these dogs are not big, both are puppies less than five months old, and they look cute and cute.

Su Ruotong was carrying a leash in her hand, but it seemed that she couldn't control the two dogs a little.

Sister Liu hurriedly put down the flower scissors in her hand and went over to help, and when she saw it, a smile burst out: "You wear diapers for them?"

"Hmm. Su Ruotong nodded expressionlessly, she didn't want these two broken dogs to wreak havoc on her car.

As soon as Sister Liu saw Su Ruotong, she looked very inexperienced with these two dogs, took over and helped her open the rope, and said, "Let them play in the yard, the gate is dense and can't get out." ”

She could feel that Su Ruotong really didn't like small animals, but Su Changqing had already put the Ragdoll cat on her lap last night and touched it back and forth, although she was still dissatisfied with the Siamese cat's appearance, she also opened a can of kittens for it to eat.

Seeing the two dogs having fun in the yard, Su Ruotong asked, "What about Dad?" ”

"Mr. Su went to the restaurant. Sister Liu said. She looked inside the room, her face was a little unpleasant, and said, "That person hasn't left yet." ”

That person is talking about Patrick, and after Sister Liu and Patrick meet now, they don't talk at all. Patrick himself knew that he was at a loss, and his whole body wilted a lot. In addition, he has recently followed Li Hongxing, and he has been opened to a new world of cooking from time to time, and he has to learn to speak Huaxia, so he has no time to make trouble.

"I'll take a look. Su Ruotong entered the house.

The door of Patrick's room opened, and Su Ruotong went in to take a look, and saw him leaning on the head of the bed, playing with his mobile phone. "Patrick, what's wrong with you?"

Patrick cried and raised his wrist to show Su Ruotong: "Oh, Sue, I'm injured! Yesterday Li asked us to chop the meat and ask us to chop all the balls into three-millimeter diameter! This is too difficult, even the machine can't do it so accurately, and then my share was reworked almost ten times, and then I came back to find that my wrist was swollen, and there must have been muscle damage. ”

Su Ruotong listened to Patrick's crying, looked at his wrist again, and it was swollen, and asked him, "Did anyone else do it?"

Even Alexander did it seven or eight times to meet Lee's requirements. Patrick said.

"I mean, except for the two of you, everyone else at Su's Restaurant. Su Ruotong asked.

Patrick's expression immediately didn't look good, and he sneered, "Lee's four demonstrations were all successful. There are a few more people who have passed four or five times. There is also one person who is the most perverted, and he is qualified the second time. Obviously, we all use the same knife technique, and I was also very serious when I listened to Li's explanation, why is this happening. ”

This is entirely due to Patrick's lack of basic skills, and he has always relied too much on machines. In the kitchen of Huaxia, the utilization rate of the machine is far from so high, especially during the training, the serious old chef will tell his students that the mystery of manual cooking is far from being comparable to the machine, and most of the chefs who are qualified to be taught by Li Hongxing have more than ten years of kitchen work experience, and the foundation is relatively deep. Sometimes it is not enough to only know the truth, but you have to have the experience of foreshadowing in advance, otherwise you can make it by just listening to it and understanding the principle, and it will not become a castle in the air.

Patrick actually understands a little bit in his heart, what he has seen and heard in Su's Restaurant in the past few days has made him a little frustrated, and his sense of crisis is very deep, those Chinese chefs who are bald in their thirties, beer belly, and completely give up their own image, so that he does not disdain his friends at all, his efforts are growing day by day, and according to this momentum, he will one day surpass him. And what about him? The merry chef who has been sought after by many people since he started his business, is really unwilling to be compared by these people.

"You have a good rest, I'll send you some safflower oil in a while, that is very helpful for hurting muscles and bones. I just invited you to visit Su's Restaurant, and if you don't like to be with them next time, just tell Master Li directly, and he won't embarrass you anymore. Su Ruotong said.

Hearing Su Ruotong's words, Patrick's sense of panic was even stronger. Why didn't Su Ruotong say this to Alexander, is it because Alexander is stronger than him and has not fallen behind, but he has fallen behind?

Although he is an Italian who advocates romance and freedom at heart, and usually does things as he pleases, Patrick is a really competitive person. He gritted his teeth: "No, just this once, I will raise it soon." ”

Leaving Patrick's room, Su Ruotong went out and saw Sister Liu playing with the cat teasing stick. And the Chow Chow Xiaobai also followed into the house, lying at the door with round eyes and looking at her, following Su Ruotong's every move, as if he was really afraid that she would be in danger alone.

It is the one that makes Su Ruotong angry the most, but it is also the most considerate performance, so that Su Ruotong doesn't know whether to reward it or punish it.

Sister Liu teased the cat, but her heart was full of emotions, she just told Su Ruotong that when the person was still there, what she wanted was to let Su Ruotong see how Patrick was doing. Even if she decides to ignore him anymore because of Patrick's affairs, when she sees his face, she can't help but think of the short good times the two of them spent together.

She was worried that Patrick was really sick, and if he did, she should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Su Ruotong walked to the medicine box, turned out the safflower oil, and took it to Patrick, Sister Liu saw it, bit her lip slightly, it seemed that he was injured. There are not many medicines to treat this at home, so she will go out to replenish daily necessities for a while, and then buy some sprays of Yunnan Baiyao, as well as a variety of different blood circulation and stasis plasters......

After dealing with Patrick's side, Su Ruotong didn't have anything else to do, so she simply sunburned in the garden, it was already the end of autumn, and she had already put on a thin sweater and basked in the sun for a while, which was very comfortable. Just when she was drowsy, Su Ruotong's phone rang.

Su Ruotong looked at it, and it turned out to be Zhu Xiaoqi calling.

Picking up the phone, Zhu Xiaoqi's gentle voice came: "Tongtong, I'm back in Xinhai, are you in Xinhai, let's come out and meet." ”

A few days ago, Su Ruotong held a wedding, although she didn't invite the Zhu family, but after telling Gao Yumei, Su Ruotong didn't believe that the Zhu family didn't know about it. But no one from the Zhu family showed up. Now that Zhu Xiaoqi is looking for it, Su Ruotong can't guess what he wants to do.

After thinking about it, Su Ruotong still decided to meet Zhu Xiaoqi. The affairs of the Su family and the Zhu family, which ended last time were not clear, and there were still many follow-up matters to be dealt with, but because of the incident of Chu Yuhu, all of them were delayed.

Su Ruotong directly made an appointment with a relatively nearby café in the city, which she had been to before and was more familiar with. Zhu Xiaoqi listened, a trace of bitterness hung on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Tongtong, let's go to Su's second store and say, okay?"

Su's second store is biased towards the layout of a Western restaurant, not during meal time, it also provides coffee, tea and desserts, Su Ruotong saw that he had the heart to help him save money, of course he agreed.

When he arrived at Su's second store, Zhu Xiaoqi was already there.

He looked a little haggard, not as prosperous as before, and there was a sense of maturity added to his body, and he finally didn't look as young as before.

For Zhu Xiaoqi, he has had a very difficult time in the past few months. Because of his father's affairs, even if he handled it properly, he was not exposed to trouble by the Su family, and the equity was basically transferred before, but he was still impeached by the shareholders meeting, saying that the Zhu family was on the board of directors, which would cause adverse effects in society.

Zhu Xiaoqi and his brother and mother were in a hurry, anxious, and all kinds of compromises, all parties roamed, and finally reserved a seat on the board of directors for their family, so that Zhu Xiaoqi's brother could continue to stay, but like him, he must not meddle in business in the past few years.

He rarely got involved in the family's business before, because he felt that time, what should be his is his, but he didn't expect this change to make him have to start all over again and find a new way by himself.

Even if he has never started a business, Zhu Xiaoqi knows how difficult it is to start a business in this situation, which is even more difficult than starting from scratch, because many people are eyeing the now weak Zhu family, waiting to take a bite of fat, he is the weakest link of the Zhu family now, and it is also the easiest link to attack.

His road was too narrow and almost completely blocked, Zhu Xiaoqi thought for a long time before he thought of Su Ruotong, if his father hadn't died, now Su Ruotong had helped their family train ten top chefs of the same level as Bao Ruwen, and he would still be so in such a dilemma now?

He wanted to rely on the unspeakable weak relationship between himself and Su Ruotong before, and begged her again, even if it cost more money, to see if Su Ruotong was willing to help him train chefs.

But when the words came to his mouth, it was extremely difficult to open his mouth.

He used to be friends with Su Ruotong, and at that time, his identity must have blurted out. They were once an unmarried couple, and if he said it at that time, it must have been taken for granted, because he was planning for their future. Once Su Ruotong owed him and the Zhu family, it was Su Ruotong who took the initiative to bring it up at that time, because she was a conscientious girl.

But now, what is his identity now?

He ordered the gold medal cappuccino coffee in the store, which was so sweet that it made people's teeth hurt, but now Zhu Xiaoqi just likes sweets, and only special sweet things can make him feel a little more comfortable.

Stirring the coffee, Zhu Xiaoqi finally gritted his teeth and spoke: "Tongtong, I want to ask, are you free now." I want to open a restaurant, I need a group of chefs, I want you to help me train, of course, my store is overseas, I won't compete with you in China...... Also, if you're busy, forget it......"
