Yuan Hui was entangled when he stood outside the door, and after sitting in the room, he didn't get much better, and turned into melancholy in a blink of an eye.
He looked at Yi Baitang and Shang Huaiyan who were sitting opposite him, and after thinking about it several times, he still had something to say, so as not to talk too much later, Yi Baitang was impatient and drove him out.
"I've heard that there is a tree restaurant that has not yet obtained the star restaurant qualification in the industry, and there is only one last recommended spot left, if you don't mind-"
"Mind." Yi Baitang said coldly.
"Actually, why bother?" Yuan Hui stiffened, "You see I have a way here, you just need to nod, and I will upload the recommendation form, isn't it good for you?" β
"Not good." Yi Baitang continued to be cold.
"What's wrong!" Yuan Huiyi is strict, "safe, correct, non-toxic, efficient, time-saving, and fast-paced!" This is not only convenient for you, but also for my stepmother. β
"Hmph." Yi Baitang's voice froze out of ice slag, and as soon as his body moved, he was about to get up from the sofa.
People who can't speak are the ones who love to talk.
Shang Huaiyan sighed in his heart, and his hand was not slow, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled Yi Baitang to stop, lest someone really stand up and throw Yuan Hui out of the door and lose it.
After the two of them sat down again, Shang Huaiyan interjected: "Today's flight has been delayed for a long time, Aunt Dong can arrive so early, and she has traveled a lot after getting off the plane, right?" β
Yuan Hui: "...... Right. β
Shang Huaiyan hinted again: "Aunt Dong has seen Bai Tang coldly, she should be quite shocked, is it okay now?" β
Yuan Hui: "...... Probably not so good. β
Shang Huaiyan was linked to the end: "Aunt Dong was so excited that she couldn't come to the door in person, so she asked you to come?" β
Yuan Hui suddenly realized: "That's right, she asked me to come." He turned to Yi Baitang again, very sincere, "She actually wants to see you, but after being separated for so long, when we first meet, I don't know what to say." β
So the cold field of face-to-face before, it really wasn't intentional!
Yi Baitang swept the two of them coldly: "Hehe." β
Shang Huaiyan: "......" is afraid.
Yuan Hui: "......" is too scared.
Yuan Hui gave Shang Huaiyan a look.
Shang Huaiyan was silent for a long time and then looked up: "How did you get adopted by Aunt Dong back then?" β
Yuan Hui was relieved when he heard this: "This matter is actually simple, my mother helped my stepmother back then!" He didn't wait for others to ask, and after a little recollection, he told the bottom of the past, "At that time, it was almost 20 years since now, my mother was divorced and laid off, and she dragged me as a child, in order to make some money, I cut a small half of the only house and rented it out." At that time, the first tenant who came to rent was my stepmother. My stepmother seemed to be quite depressed at that time, and told my mother that she had no money to pay the rent for the time being, but the rent would be given to my mother on time in a month. At that time, my mother saw that my stepmother was single and had no money, and after chatting for a few words, I knew that my stepmother had just divorced and had no children......"
Hearing this, Shang Huaiyan couldn't help but glance at Yi Baitang.
But obviously Yi Baitang didn't care about this, he still held his hands on his chest, and waited for Yuan Hui to speak with an expressionless face.
Yuan Hui continued: "My mother was sympathetic at that time, so she didn't charge the rent and let her stepmother stay first. But the rest of the story was much more than my mother expected......"
Shang Huaiyan groaned slightly: "Aunt Dong quickly found the money?" β
Yuan Hui glanced at Shang Huaiyan in surprise: "That's right, my stepmother quickly found something to do in a very good restaurant, and it is said that she also hosted a dinner for high-ranking officials that month, so she made up for half a year's rent for my mother at once." At that time, the news of my stepmother's scenery also spread to the broken place where my mother lived at that time, and it was talked about by many neighbors for a long time. β
Shang Huaiyan continued: "But there are unforeseen circumstances-"
Yuan Hui glanced at Shang Huaiyan with admiration: "But there are unforeseen circumstances, I don't know if it is because my stepmother has been in the limelight for just a month, and when she came for about half a year, my stepmother was suddenly expelled from the restaurant where she was, and it was very dishonorable......
Yi Baitang didn't remain silent this time, and snorted coldly before Shang Huaiyan spoke: "Accusing my mother of stealing other chefs' secret recipes?" β
After speaking, he snorted coldly in his heart: Can you use it!
Hearing Yi Baitang speak, Yuan Hui hurriedly answered: "Guessed right!" That's it! The stepmother was calculated by them, lost her job, left the hotel with a bad reputation, and was criticized by the local chef association, and basically no big hotel was willing to hire the stepmother again. But in the past six months, my mother has become good friends with my stepmother who talks about everything, and this time my stepmother suffered a setback, and my mother has been by her side to comfort her. They also united with many neighbors, saying that they absolutely did not believe in the despicable methods of their stepmother, stealing the fruits of others, and they also went to the chef association together to find an explanation, which was done when the stepmother did not know, and as a result, they had a conflict with the people of the chef association, and my mother sprained her arm in the conflict and went to the hospital......" Speaking of this, he paused, about the most important turning point in his life, and his voice was a little lower, "But after the sprained arm entered the hospital, it was found that it was terminal cancer." Later, a lot of things happened, and my stepmother, who was planning to leave the city, also passed away, and before she died, my mother gave her savings and house to my stepmother to take care of me. β
Yuan Hui said: "Then things are like that, after dealing with my mother's funeral, my stepmother sold the house, and then used the savings to open a small restaurant called Diet, but in just two or three years, the scale of Diet has increased tenfold, becoming the leading enterprise in the city, and some old restaurants are squeezed out of the house." One of them is the hotel where he slandered his stepmother. But at that time, the stepmother didn't even bother to glance at them. Then the stepmother gradually expanded the scale of the diet, little by little every year, and it was now. β
The long past is finally over, and Yuan Hui sighed with emotion: "Over the years, while learning cooking skills from my stepmother, I have watched my stepmother expand my diet, until now I still remember what my stepmother said to me at the beginning, she said, 'Cooking, like all other sciences, is a mechanical, assembly line operation-'"
Yi Baitang suddenly raised his eyes, looked at Yuan Hui with blazing eyes, and repeated: "'Mechanical, assembly line operations'? What else? β
Yuan Hui was stunned for a moment, and then completed the words: "'Everyone's taste is not exactly the same, but the difference is a minority, the same is the majority, we can make the most in line with the human taste." ββ
Yi Baitang: "I see. β
Yuan Hui: "Huh? β
Yi Baitang: "I accepted it." β
Yuan Hui: "Huh?? β
Yi Baitang: "You can go." β
After he said this, he got up directly from the sofa, carried Yuan Hui and walked towards the door, opened the door with one hand and the person with the other, and then let go and closed the door.
Yi Baitang: "The quota is ready, the second game of the official competition is over, I will go to her." β
Yuan Hui: "Hmm??? β
He looked at the closed door with a blank face, and he didn't know which lung tube Yi Baitang had poked by what he had just said, just at this time there was a faint sound of conversation inside, he looked left and right, there was no one, and hurriedly put his ear on the crack of the door, eavesdropping on the conversation inside, only to hear Shang Huaiyan ask:
"What's wrong?"
Then came Yi Baitang's voice:
"I know what's going on. I know why my mom left back then, he didn't lie to me...... It's really a misconception ......."
Inside the door, the lights flowed.
Shang Huaiyan's brain turned quickly: "You said that Aunt Dong's cooking concept is not in line with your grandfather's?" β
Yi Baitang said lightly: "It's the opposite." The concept of the Great Demon King is that food itself has emotions, so if a thousand people taste it, there must be a thousand different tastes. β
Shang Huaiyan hesitated a little: "Is it because of this that Aunt Dong is gone?" β
Yi Baitang asked rhetorically: "What else is it for?" β
Shang Huaiyan's gaze turned around on Yi Baitang's head, and he wisely remained silent.
Yi Baitang didn't pay attention to Shang Huaiyan's gaze, and continued to mutter: "But I don't agree with this kind of cooking concept. It's just that cooking has become a tool to make money, and it has long become the pursuit of the best value for money rather than the highest deliciousness. β
Shang Huaiyan felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably tense at the moment, and he was cautious: "So you went to your mother after the game to ......"
Yi Baitang: "It proves that she has made a mistake." β
Shang Huaiyan: "Then if she thinks it's better to have her own cooking path......
Yi Baitang: "The Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other. β
Shang Huaiyan: "......"
Yi Baitang glanced at Shang Huaiyan: "Are you thinking that it is necessary to be so strict?" β
Shang Huaiyan's heart: Yes.
Yi Baitang sΓΉ: "If you cheat, I will move you away at most; If you dare to insult my cooking skills, I will chop you into wood. β
Shang Huaiyan condemned: "Change an example. β
Yi Baitang changed his words: "If I don't like you anymore, I won't cheat; Once I don't like you anymore, I'll refuse to cook for you. β
Shang Huaiyan: "...... Forget it, you should take me as an example. β
He couldn't do anything about this little baby, although he was only three years apart, but sometimes it really felt like he was thirteen years behind...... Shang Huaiyan sighed secretly, pulled Yi Baitang to sit down again, and slowly seduced: "Have you ever thought about it, there are so many chefs in the world who don't have their own ideas, you don't care, why do you care about this person?" β
Yi Baitang: "......"
Yi Baitang: "Hmph!! β
I hate it, I don't talk to the little sapling anymore!!
