Chapter 15: Words for Help
The sound of "toot toot" continued to sound in the back kitchen of an inn.
Zhou Yi held the kitchen knife with one hand, and chopped the meat neatly and cleanly.
On the stake-shaped blade of the garden, a long piece of pork leg meat that had been intact had been chopped into a flat meat sauce by him.
Zhou Yiyi and Jin Youjian stood beside him one on the left and one on the right, their expressions opening their mouths synchronously, looking at this scene in surprise.
After cutting off most of the lean meat and chopping it into meat sauce and putting it in a porcelain bowl and putting it aside, Zhou Yi began to prepare the marinade sauce again.
It's just that in the middle of preparing the sauce, Zhou Yi stopped and looked at Jin Youjian, who was standing on the side: "Won't the seasoning in the kitchen have never been renewed?"
"Uh...... Huh?" Jin Youjian reacted half a beat slowly, and then he didn't dare to look at Zhou Yi's face, "Ying...... Should...... Still works...... ......"
As soon as I heard this, I was not confident enough.
Zhou Yiyi paced to Zhou Yi's side, and asked him a little uneasily, "Can't you eat it?"
Jin Youjian heard her words and felt even more guilty, and he felt a little guilty in addition to his weak heart.
It's just that the world is changing, and he never thought that the century-old store would suddenly become crowded. Now he has to make even a meal by himself, and he can't even provide fresh spices.
Jin Youjian opened his mouth and said with determination: "Why don't we go to the restaurant outside to eat?" After speaking, he hurriedly added, "I'm in for a treat!"
Zhou Yiyi was confused, looked at him and asked, "But isn't your family just a restaurant?"
Kim Youma was unexpectedly irrefutable.
Zhou Yi no longer looked at him and continued to add water and flour.
Zhou Yiyi walked to Jin Youjian's side with small steps, and patted him on the shoulder very encouragingly: "Zhou Yi's cooking skills are great, you can wait for delicious food with peace of mind." ”
Jin Youjian turned his face sideways, pursed his mouth, and was silent.
What's the matter with he, the innkeeper, being so guilty......
Before it gets dark, a pot of freshly made meat dumplings is finally out of the pot.
Zhou Yiyi originally wanted to help Sheng Dumplings serve dumplings, but Zhou Yi stopped her directly: "Go sit outside and wait for me, you don't need your help here." ”
Zhou Yiyi walked to the lobby very obediently, and obediently picked a bench facing the back kitchen at a table that Jin Youjian had cleaned beforehand.
She sat up straight, her hands on her laps, her eyes fixed on the half-dark blue curtain that hung from the back kitchen to the entrance to the lobby. Extremely obediently sat and waited for Zhou Yi to come out from behind the curtain.
Jin Youjian was first instructed by Zhou Yi to wipe the table, and then wiped the stool, and after he returned to the kitchen after wiping everything, he just wanted to throw away the rag and sit with Zhou Yiyi and wait for the dumplings to eat, when he heard Zhou Yi call him again: "Bring the dishes and chopsticks, and take these plates of seasonings too." His eyes swept over the stove, and three small round bowls were filled with a third of the sauce-colored sauce.
Jin Youjian said "hey", obediently took three small bowls of seasoning juice and three pairs of chopsticks that Zhou Yi had cleaned, and followed Zhou Yi out of the kitchen.
Zhou Yi held two large plates of cooked meat dumplings in his hand.
The blue curtain flickered, and someone came out from within.
Zhou Yiyi's eyes lit up, and she almost jumped up from the stool.
Zhou Yi saw the light in her eyes, slightly pleased the corners of his mouth, and put the boiled dumplings on the table.
Zhou Yiyi smelled the incense, bent over, and her body was about to pounce on the dumplings. Squinted and sniffed for a while, then tilted his head and tilted his face to Zhou Yi happily: "It's so fragrant!"
Zhou Yi looked at her gently, and said in a gentle voice: "You can eat more fragrant." ”
Jin Youjian, who was completely ignored, silently put down the dishes and chopsticks seasoning, and then quietly and quickly glanced at the two people opposite, and after a quick calculation in his heart, he decided to wait for himself to sit next to the little girl and eat dumplings.
Sitting next to a man or eating dumplings across from him is too stressful!
Jin Youjian had just finished thinking in his heart, and his feet had just taken a step, when Zhou Yi's voice sounded above his head again.
"You sit across from me. ”
Jin Youma: "......"
Taking heavy steps, Jin Youjian hung his head and sat opposite Zhou Yi with a sad face.
Zhou Yi sat in Zhou Yiyi's temporary position.
Zhou Yiyi didn't notice the inner rivalry between the two at all, and she was happily praising Zhou Yi's craftsmanship to Jin Youjian: "Brother Youjian, you're welcome, try Zhou Yi's craftsmanship! Zhou Yi's craftsmanship is good! He makes things delicious and delicious!"
Like a salesman, she unconsciously desperately recommended Zhou Yi's cooking skills to Jin Youjian, as if she was afraid that he would not like Zhou Yi's cooking skills, as if she was afraid that others would not know how good Zhou Yi's cooking skills were.
Zhou Yi looked at her actions with a smile.
The little girl didn't know how sincere and sincere her eyes were, how sparkling, and how ...... she was when she praised herself to others Attract him.
Jin Youjian carefully glanced at Zhou Yi, and saw that he didn't look at himself at all, but his eyebrows relaxed, and he put a meat dumpling for the little girl and put it in the bowl with a soft expression, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Then he raised his head, pulled the corners of his mouth at the little girl who was enthusiastic about sales, and said twice: "Okay, I'...... I'll taste it. ”
Jin Youjian remembered that the little girl didn't seem to take his previous reminder seriously at all just now, and called out the names of her companions one by one.
This...... What a bold and dangerous move!
Jin Youjian just picked up a meat dumpling, distracted, and as soon as his hand was released, the dumpling fell into the sauce bowl in front of him.
There was a "pop" and several drops of sauce spilled.
"My little aunt and grandmother!" Jin Youjian reminded Zhou Yiyi bitterly again, "Didn't I tell you that in Weiyang Town, we must not call her by name......?" he frowned, as if he didn't know what to say about her, "...... Why do you still call this ...... by name and surname" When it came to Zhou Yi, Jin Youjian suddenly weakened again, and found an alternative word and whispered, "...... This benevolent ...... Where's Brother Ren?"
And it screamed so loudly......
Zhou Yiyi opened her mouth and said "ah" with a confused expression, and then turned her face a little embarrassed, like a child who had done something wrong, looked at Zhou Yi's pointed chin, and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot." ”
Zhou Yi gave her a new meat dumpling again: "It's okay." ”
Jin Youjian saw that the two of them seemed to be going back and forth as if no one was around, and suddenly shook his body, put down his chopsticks, and couldn't help but brush a wave of presence angrily: "I said two little ancestors, don't take what I Jin Youjian said seriously! This is really a life-saving word related to your net worth!"
