When it was past one o'clock, when all the dishes had been served, the people in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Mang also took off his apron, washed his face with cold water, and took out his mobile phone: "Brother Lin, how are you doing over there, are you all busy?"

"Excuse me, is there anything I can't figure out? ”

"Well, that's good. Liu Mang relieved himself and called Han Shaobai again.

"The people attending the wedding banquet today have taken a big advantage! I have used all my own private collections, you have to think of compensating me!" Han Shaobai's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Definitely, definitely. ”

"Head chef, head chef. Hao Ren hurried into the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" asked Liu Mang.

"The master asked me if I could let you go to the front and meet with everyone. ”

"Meet? Okay. Liu Mang nodded, straightened the clothes on his body, and followed Hao Ren towards the hall.

"Next, I would like to invite our chef today, Mr. Liu Mang. The master of ceremonies picked up the microphone and said.

The hall erupted in a burst of applause, and Liu Mang walked up to the stage under the gaze of everyone, and took the microphone in the hands of the emcee a little shyly.

"Thank you, first of all, I wish the two newcomers and wish them a happy life. I would also like to thank the parents of the two newcomers, because of the temporary change of the menu, which caused you a lot of trouble......"

"He's Liu Mang, he looks younger than on TV!" said one girl.

"yes! And it's really handsome, I never thought that a person wearing a chef's uniform can be so handsome!

"Master Liu Mang, let's take a group photo together. After the speech was finished, the two newlyweds and the parents of the newlyweds pulled Liu Mang to stand together, and the emcee picked up the camera and pressed the shutter.

After the wedding banquet ended, Liu Mang stayed in the Manhan Mansion for the next few days, handing over some of the original special recipes of the Manhan Mansion to Zhu Daming and others.

Before the staff of the Manhanlou branch stabilized, the upstairs chefs called by Liu Mang must be in charge here. This also led to the plan to open a branch upstairs to a certain extent. "Liu Mang, this is my dinner today, pasta and salad, I miss your dishes so much!" Liu Mang clicked on WeChat, and it was a small video of Li Ruonan eating.

Li Ruonan in the video is still wearing a hat, and his expression is a little haggard.

"What's wrong with Ruonan? I'm so busy that I don't even answer the phone, just send a video. After watching the video, Liu Mang dialed a number, only to find that no one answered at all.

During this time, although Li Ruonan would send a small video or a few photos every day, he didn't have a video call with Liu Mang at all, and he couldn't even get through on the phone.

Liu Mang was very strange in his heart: "Forget it, when I return to Jiangdong, I'll ask Uncle Li." ”

Back in Jiangdong, Liu Mang first went upstairs for a walk, and then took some fresh ingredients from the space, ready to visit Li Qiushui.

"Is my uncle here?" Liu Mang came to Zizhu Villa, the villa where he saw Li Qiushui last time.

"Liu Mang, why are you here?" It was the aunt who opened the door last time, and when she saw that it was Liu Mang, she had a panicked look on her face.

"I'm here to see my uncle. ”

"Oh, Mr. Li, he's not here, you can come back another day. ”

"Well, okay. Liu Mang thought for a while and handed over the things he was carrying: "These are some of the ingredients I prepared for my uncle, please accept them." ”

Just as Liu Mang was about to turn around and leave, a voice sounded from inside the door: "Forget it, let him in." ”

The aunt stepped out of the way and led Liu Mang into the house.

Liu Mang found that on the side of the villa hall, Li Qiushui was sitting in a recliner with his back to him, looking at the lawn outside the window.

"Uncle. Liu Mang said hello.

"Sit down. Li Qiushui pointed to the chair beside him.

Liu Mang stepped forward to take a look, and was suddenly surprised: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

The last time I came, Li Qiushui was still a personable middle-aged uncle. But when I look at it now, I have white hair and a sad face, as if I have suddenly aged by more than ten years.

"Nothing, haven't been in good spirits lately. Li Qiushui waved his hand and replied.

"Uncle, I brought wild old ginseng there, you can ask your aunt to buy an old hen later, simmer it for four hours and then drink it, it can replenish qi and blood." Liu Mang said.

"I have a heart. Li Qiushui took a sip of the tea on the table: "You are here to find Ruonan." ”

"Yes, I want to ask Ruonan where she went to the United States, and her phone can't get through. ”

"Liu Mang, do you like my man very much?" Li Qiushui sat up and stared at Liu Mang's eyes and asked.

"Like. Liu Mang was stunned, he didn't understand why Li Qiushui asked like this, but he still replied with certainty.

"How much do you like it?"

"To what extent?" Liu Mang thought for a while: "Before I met Ruonan, I didn't think about getting married, and when I met Ruonan, I didn't think about getting married with others." ”

"Very good, will you stick to her for the rest of your life?" Li Qiushui asked again.

"Yes. ”

"Then come with me. Li Qiushui stood up.

Liu Mang had some doubts in his heart, but he still followed Li Qiushui and walked upstairs to the villa.

Gently pushing open the door, Liu Mang looked at the middle of the room, and suddenly felt that his head was blank.

On a bed in the room, Li Ruonan was lying unconscious.

"What if...... Wakaman. Liu Mang stumbled forward and held Li Ruonan's hand.

"Brain tumors, and they run in families. The boy's mother and grandmother all died of this disease. Li Qiushui sighed faintly: "I originally thought that such a situation would not happen to her, but I didn't expect that it would not be able to withstand the arrangement of fate." ”

"When?" Liu Mang raised his head, his eyes blood-red.

No wonder, no wonder Ruonan usually says those frustrating words, it turns out that she is under so much pressure.

"It's been a long time, and the operation I had last month failed. Li Qiushui stumbled and covered his forehead: "But it's okay, at least my life has been saved, but I may have to spend it in bed forever in the future." ”

"Those videos?"

"Those videos were pre-recorded by the man, and I sent them to you. If you don't come to your door, these videos are enough for three years. ”

"You're so stupid. Liu Mang grabbed Li Ruonan's hand, and his heart was suddenly like a knife.

Frames of past images flashed in Liu Mang's mind.

"Come on, sign this contract, and you'll mess with me in the future!"

"Liu Mang, you are so good! You are the real god of cooking!"

"Liu Mang, if your life is a boat, then what am I?"

"You're the compass......"

"What if I lose my compass?"

"Then even if I go to the ends of the earth, I have to find it back......"
