Chapter 207: Back Upstairs

"Boss, it's here. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Five eyes stepped on the brakes.

Pulling open the door of the van, Liu Mang jumped down. As soon as he got off the plane, he pulled five eyes and couldn't wait to come upstairs to have a look.

Upstairs is located at the intersection of Jiangdong Avenue, is a five-storey antique building, carved beams and paintings, antique.

"How long has it been? I'm finally back. Liu Mang muttered to himself and walked up the steps made of bluestone.

Now the restaurant is closed, and the door made of paulownia wood is closed, except for a young man in a security uniform, leaning against the edge of the gate and napping.

"Dude... Dudeβ€”" Five Eyes nudged him.

"Who are you?" said the young man as he opened his eyes and yawned.

"Excuse me, why hasn't this restaurant opened?" Wuyan took out the King of Bao Furong and handed one over.

The boss seems to have given away this restaurant, and it has been closed for several days. The young man put the cigarette to his nose and sniffed, muttering in his mouth.

"Then why are you still guarding this?" "Five-eyed 'click' lit him up.

"Wait for the new owner, I'll leave as soon as he comes. The young man spat out a smoke ring and said.

"Don't wait, we are. Five-eyed smiled.

"You guys?" Xiao Young raised his head, glanced at Liu Mang and Wuyan, and then looked at the van parked in front of the building: "It's not quite like it, right?"

"It's Luo Badao who told you to guard here, I'm Liu Mang, this is my ID card. Liu Mang took out his wallet from his pocket and handed his ID card to him.

"Huh, are you Liu Mang?" the young man stood up with a 'poof', picked up his ID card and compared it.

"Okay, it's good for you to come, and I should go home for dinner. After confirming that everything was correct, he pulled a large set of keys out of his pocket.

"This is the key to the door and the kitchen, and the switch for the electric switch is in the distribution room at the back of the kitchen. ”

"Well, I understand. Liu Mang nodded and took the key: "Thank you." ”

"Okay, you take your time, I'll go first. The young man answered, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait," Liu Mang called out to him.

"Anything else?"

"I want to ask, what about the original chef and waiter here?" Liu Mang thought for a while and asked.

"Some quit their jobs and went home, and some were transferred to branches. The young man replied.

"That's it..."Liu Mang thought for a moment: "Okay, it's okay." ”

After speaking, Liu Mang took a deep breath and pushed open the door with the bronze ring of the beast's head hanging on it.

Inside the gate is the upstairs hall, which has undergone a lot of renovations after Luo Badao took over.

The wooden floors on the ground were replaced with marble, and the ceilings were remade of cypress wood.

Originally, in Liu Mang's memory, the mahogany welcome desk that could be seen when entering and exiting the door was gone. In its place is a huge aquarium with an entire wall.

The aerator in the box was bubbling with bubbles, but there was no fish in it, and it should have been taken away by the people from the restaurant when they left.

"That's good! The hardware facilities of the restaurant, Luo Badao didn't move, and they were all kept for you. Five Eyes said.

"Well, let's go to the kitchen. Liu Mang nodded, walked to the hall familiarly, and pushed open a small door there.

Compared to the renovated hall, the upstairs kitchen has not changed much, except for the addition of a new stove and freezer, and the layout is the same as it was more than ten years ago.

Liu Mang's fingers gently brushed over the shiny board, and the whole person seemed to be walking in the long river of time, and various memories of the past came flooding back.

Xiao Mang, the kitchen knife should be held like this, don't grasp it too tightly with your hands, and use skill...

Steamed fish, it only takes six or seven minutes to steam the fish. The fire should be big, and the gas of the steamer should be sufficient...

Salty is the first of all flavors, and any delicacy will not taste good without salt. There are many kinds of salty seasonings, but it is important to remember that what flavor can only reflect the true taste when it is salty...

Ginger and garlic can not be chopped indiscriminately, it must be carefully cut into small cubes, so that it has a taste, and the level of cooking skills is derived from these details...

It's spicy to your eyes, isn't it? This is Chaotian pepper, you have to wash your hands when you're done playing! Okay, good, don't cry, grandpa will help you wash with water...

……

Countless pictures lit up in front of Liu Mang's eyes, and then immediately shattered, replaying frame by frame in his mind, freeze frame.

"Grandpa..."Liu Mang closed his eyes gently, tears welling up in his eyes unconsciously.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.

Wuyan looked at Liu Mang, who was standing still, without saying a word, quietly retreated, and gently closed the door.

After a while, Liu Mang, whose eyes were a little red, walked over.

"After that, let's go home first. ”

"Boss, I'm not leaving, there's no one guarding here, what if a thief moves something away?" Five Eyes said.

"Well, too!" Liu Mang thought for a while: "Okay, you can get together on the sofa in the box for the night first, and I'll bring you quilts and rice later." ”

Liu Mang took a taxi and returned to the villa area of Luoyan Lake.

"Mangman!" Before he reached the door of the house, Liu Mang saw his parents and Li Ruonan, who were waiting anxiously.

"Mom and Dad!" Liu Mang hurriedly greeted him.

"It's good to come back!" Liu Mang's mother wiped her eyes and said.

"Okay! Boy! I really got the title of the god of cooking! Let's have a good drink tonight!" Liu Mang's father looked excited.

The man in front of him has long been worn away by life, and has become honest and content.

In Liu Mang's memory, his father was decadent for a period of time after losing his restaurant, but he quickly cheered up. helped his mother run her own small shop with peace of mind, and never went out to fool around again.

It seems that his grandfather is right that poverty and misery can really change a person's character and awaken a man's sense of responsibility.

"Okay! have a few drinks!" Liu Mang grinned.

Walking into the house, Liu Mang's mother had already cooked the meal, and she kept it warm with a basin.

"How is it? The restaurant hasn't changed, right?" asked Li Ruonan.

"No, Luo Badao is still quite creditworthy, the hardware facilities have not moved at all, but there is a problem with the personnel, and it seems that it cannot be reopened for the time being. Liu Mang replied.

"Mangmang, did Luo Badao really return the restaurant to you?" Hearing the conversation between the two, Liu Mang's mother asked.

"Hmm. Liu Mang nodded.

"That's good! That's good!" Liu Mang's mother cried with joy: "If your grandfather knew, how happy he would be!"

"Mom, actually..."Liu Mang wanted to speak and stopped, but after thinking about it, he forgot it.

Let it pass in the past, he doesn't want to affect his parents' feelings for his grandfather because of the gambling contract.

"In terms of personnel, I'll think of a way, you can first call a group of people from the Four Seasons Pavilion to you, and then recruit a few people, and then you can open the business when you are proficient. Li Ruonan said.

"That's all I have to say, take your time. (To be continued.) )
