"Come, let's get to know each other, this is a younger sister of mine, her name is Yunni, I will help in the restaurant in the future, don't bully other little girls!"

Early in the morning of the second day, Xia Mei took Wen Xi and Yunni to the restaurant, and pulled Yunni to introduce a few people who came behind.

Huang Hong's chubby face and eyes smiled into a slit, and he smiled kindly: "Mrs. Xia, look at what you said, your sister is our sister, you can't take good care of it, how dare you bully!" ”

Ji Lin also smiled and quipped: "Isn't it! When Mrs. Xia said this, Sister Yunni can't think that we are bad people! ”

Xia Mei couldn't help but admit her mistake: "Okay, okay, it's me who is wrong, you are all good people, okay?!" ”

After that, he turned his head to Yunni and said: "You know Liu Quan and Wen Hao, this is Uncle Han, the fat uncle is Huang Hong, the thinner one is Ji Lin, as for this ......"

Catching a glimpse of someone's shy and expectant gaze out of the corner of her eye, the corners of Xia Mei's mouth twitched slightly, "This is the new chef, you can call him the third brother." ”

Yun Ni glanced at a few people lightly, bowed her head obediently and saluted, "Yun Ni has seen Uncle Han and brothers. ”

"No need to be polite."

Han Bo touched the beard on his chin and chuckled to help Yunni up.

Everyone talked and laughed, and soon dispersed again, starting a busy day.

Xia Mei took Wen Xi to the next door, in order to make the soup, she rented the shop next door, a very small one, but the yard was big enough, which happened to meet her requirements.

Everyone left, Yunni stood in place, a little stunned, she really didn't know what to do!

Seeing that Liu Quan and Wen Hao were two brothers fetching water to clean up the place inside and out, Yun Ni was rolling up her sleeves to help, but Liu Quan stopped her and said: "Sister Yun Ni, this is a body job, you are a girl, how can you do it?!" ”

Helpless. Yunni walked into the kitchen, while Ji Lin and Huang Hong were doing their own preparations, one kept chopping vegetables, and the other began to knead dough.

Get. This is technical work, Yunni was depressed for a moment, and found that she couldn't do it.

Could it be that when she comes, she doesn't do anything?!

It just so happened that Mu San walked in with a big pot of radish, such a big pot of radish. He didn't have any pressure, Yun Ni's pupils shrank, could this person be ......

Pursing her lips, Yun Ni greeted him with a light smile, and pretended to be inadvertent: "Third brother, you have so much strength, were you born since you were a child?" ”

Yunni, who lowered her head and was about to peel the radish, couldn't wait for an answer for a long time, and looked up suspiciously, the person in front of her. The blushing was the same as the cooked shrimp, and he still didn't look at his right hand secretly.

Yunni was suddenly confused, what was wrong? Could he have seen the traces of martial arts training on his right hand?

Withdrawing his right hand without knowing how to speak, Yun Ni had already confirmed in his heart that the other party was a martial artist, but it remains to be seen whether it is good or bad.

However, the person who knew martial arts who was guessed by Yunni was full of thoughts at the moment: "She just touched me!" She just touched me! Yes! So shy! Master said that men and women can't teach clearly, so should I be responsible for her? Does she like me......"

Just now, when Yunni helped him pick up the basin, she accidentally touched him......

It is estimated that Yunni did not expect it. The "martial artist" will be so simple, it is simply a rare species, she still thinks that the other party is looking at her! So the face is cold. Without saying a word, he sat there and peeled the radish vigorously.

Mu San, who didn't know what decision he had made in his heart, sat down with a red face carefully, his legs together, as dignified as a girl.

The two of them sat in a corner with their own thoughts and kept peeling, and at first they secretly looked at each other, but then they became directly. Peeling radish competition.

When Xia Mei came back, there was a big push of peeled radishes in front of them.

It's a little inexplicable, but it's just a feeling, even if you ask these two people, you won't say it, so Xia Mei is wise, when she didn't see anything, she said indifferently: "Yunni, Mu San has no helper, you can follow him in the future." ”

Yunni glanced at Xia Mei in surprise, paused, and then nodded approvingly.

Mu San blushed, glanced at Xia Mei, and then at Yunni, and found that when the other party nodded, his face became more and more red, and he seemed to be able to emit heat.

Xia Mei, who was careless for a while, didn't care, thinking that the two of them were just a little rusty, so she turned around and started to busy herself with her own business.

"Wen Hao, you helped your sister in the past, if someone comes to bring up the soup, do you remember to record it and look for the brand we issued, you know?"

"Well, got it, Mrs. Xia."

Wen Hao was also sent to the next door by Xia Meizhi, and the kitchen was filled with the sound of busyness, occasionally one or two shouts to hand over things, and in addition, there were pots and pans, kitchen knives, and hot oil boiling water.

Originally, Yunni was skeptical about this Mu San, thinking that it might be because the other party knew martial arts, so she played some tricks and deceived Sister Xia Mei, so she held the intention of exposing him and secretly observed closely.

But...... Isn't this style of painting?!

What's going on with this smooth and gorgeous action?!

What's going on with this serious and handsome side face?!

What's going on with this sweat of enthusiasm, full of emotion and sincerity?!

Yunni couldn't help but take a few steps back, holding her frightened little heart.

"This man...... Really?! ”

After staring at the beads of sweat on the other party's forehead for a long time, until she saw it fall into the collar, Yun Ni accepted the fact that this person seemed to really know how to cook.

His face was slightly red, he retracted his gaze, coughed unnaturally, and heard Mu San say: "Yunni...... Sister, could you please wipe my sweat? ”

The gentle voice carries the unique male and female indefinite of young people in this period, and the faint prayer makes people's hearts soften.

Yun Ni hurriedly wiped the sweat beads on the other party's forehead with the sweat towel in her hand, because Yun Ni was four or five years younger than Mu San, so at this moment, Yun Ni was only as tall as Mu San's shoulders.

The outstretched arm carefully avoided his busy hands, and the cloud that carefully wiped the sweat did not find himself getting closer and closer to the other party.

wiped the sweat, naturally took back the sweat towel, Yunni retreated to the position, and helped hand over something, cut a green onion and garlic, wash a plate or something, and Mu San's matching, but it was an unexpected tacit understanding.

…………

It's been a busy day. Wen Xi came back at noon, and the restaurants they cooperated with were all in the experimental stage, so there were only two buckets of base soup at a time.

Wen Xi quickly dealt with the shop where he came to pick up the goods, and Wen Hao carefully made a record on the side. The two locked the door and returned to Tianfu and continued to work in the restaurant.

After the hour of lunch, Xia Mei did not stay longer, and now at this time, it was dark late. And it's very cold at night, so rush home before the sun sets.

On the way, Wen Xi asked Yunni with concern: "Sister Yunni, are you tired?" ”

Yun Ni smiled lightly and shook her head, she is a person who has practiced martial arts since she was a child, even if she is injured, her daily exercise has not fallen for a few days, so the fatigue of this restaurant is still bearable for her.

Wen Xi put his mind at ease, so he pulled Yunni to say some small gossip between women. Xia Mei listened with a chuckle on the side, occasionally interjecting, which made Wen Xi laugh and couldn't stand up.

Soon returned home, before the separation, Xia Mei stopped the two of them: "Tomorrow is the New Year, I want to sacrifice to the stove, remember to prepare something, let's have dinner together tomorrow night." ”

"Eh, I see, Master."

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the new year is celebrated. Sacrifice to the god of the hearth.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Xia Mei got up and started to work, rubbing her sore waist, and sighing in her heart that she was suffering for her life.

"Stinky man. It hurt my back and I almost couldn't get up! ”

Today is the New Year, that is, to sacrifice to the god of the stove, this thing must be done by men, the so-called "men do not worship the moon, women do not sacrifice to the stove". Xia Mei will get up, just to make sugar melon strips for the sacrificial stove.

This sugar melon strip is actually made of starch sugar and noodles, the method is relatively simple, and some people sell it on the street, but regardless of the past and present life, Xia Mei made it herself to worship the god of the stove.

It's also a bit superstitious, as a person who makes food for a living, he hopes to be blessed by the god of the stove, and the sugar melon strips he bought are not sincere, so Xia Mei got up early and made it herself.

By the time Wu Song got up, Xia Mei had already made half a basket of sugar melon strips, white, palm-sized, hot and just right to eat.

I threw one into my mouth, I couldn't speak, and it took me a while to recover, and I smiled happily: "It's delicious!" The lady's cooking is better than my mother's! ”

Xia Mei glanced at him, knocked off the hands that still wanted to steal food, and said angrily: "Look at you like that, you are really no different from Tang Bao!" Hurry up and wash, there is hot water in the pot, and I have made the porridge, you and Tang Bao can eat it, I have eaten it. ”

Looking at the sky outside, Xia Mei stretched her waist and said a little tiredly: "I'm leaving, you and Tang Bao are at home, don't be in a hurry to work in the field, you just take your time." ”

Wu Song took her into his arms in distress, and comforted her softly: "The lady has worked hard...... The husband will plant the field full of grain, so that the lady can sit at home and enjoy the blessings! ”

Xia Mei's heart warmed, it was as sweet as eating honey, no wonder people said that women like these sweet words, although they know that it is unrealistic, but at least they are also a piece of heart.

Letting go of Wu Song's embrace, Xia Mei tightened his shirt and said gently: "I believe in my husband, and I will wait for that day." ”

Kissed Wu Song gently, Xia Mei was about to leave, but was pulled back by the unwilling Wu Song, and "reworked" it in depth again, lingering for a while, Xia Mei left the Wu family's courtyard smoothly.

The closer the year, the worse the business in the store, after all, everyone rushed back for the New Year, these few days are the year before, the last days, their store, is also twenty-eight do not do business, and wait for the fifth day of the new year to continue to open.

However, there are not a few people who want to separate before the year and take the opportunity to get together and congratulate the New Year, and hot pot is a good choice for dinner, so Tianfu's recent business, although it has declined, has been selling well.

"Liu Quan, this is the sugar melon strip I made, you will go buy some things for the god of the stove and come back, you and Wen Hao at night, you and Wen Hao should worship the god of the stove well, don't be lazy, you know?!"

This is the first time that Xia Mei has explained things to Liu Quan so seriously, because she can't interfere in this matter, and it is very important, so she repeatedly instructed Liu Quan to wait for Liu Quan's face to show some bitterness.

In the past, when Qin Zhihan was there, he also did this thing, because Qin Zhihan's character was not a person who would do this kind of thing.

Liu Quan, who has a wealth of experience, how could he not know how to do it? Even if he is no longer instructed to do so, he will worship well.

This year, Tianfu Restaurant has experienced too much, although it has passed safely, and the sesame flowers are blooming, but Liu Quan still hopes that the coming year can be smooth sailing, and business will be as prosperous as this year.

According to Xia Mei's instructions, Liu Quan specially bought more generous offerings and bamboo horses this year, incense for the future, and neat sugar melon strips full of Xia Mei's sincerity.

Kneeling on the ground and closing his eyes and softly muttering his wishes and prayers, burning yellow paper and bamboo horses, hoping that the god of the stove will go to heaven and can say a lot of good words to bless the blessings of the coming year, and be more prosperous.

Xia Mei, who returned home, pulled Wu Song to the Xia family's courtyard non-stop, and carried the sugar melon strips she made sincerely.

Wen Xi and Yun Ni had set up the things for the sacrifice to the Stove God early, and just when they came, Wu Song was particularly reliable at this time, and calmly walked into the kitchen under the expectant and adoring gazes of the three women and a little man.

Back then, as for what he thought in his heart, only he knew.

"Hmm...... I remember that my father burned yellow paper, burned bamboo horses, put sacrifices and incense burners, and then ......"

Wu Song looked at the ground a little depressed, and knelt down to pray for blessings......

After thinking about his wife's instructions, Wu Song, who was helpless, had no choice but to take off his robe and kneel down on his knees honestly.

After silently reciting Xia Meijiao's words in his heart, he stood up and shook off the dust, and began to burn yellow paper and bamboo horses.

After thinking about it, Wu Song added a few more words in his heart.

"God of the Stove, if you can really manifest your spirit, please bless my lady, business is very good, the villain back down, don't let her worry anymore."

Muttering and chattering, Wu Song finished his worship and walked out of the kitchen.

"Alright?!"

Xia Mei immediately greeted her and asked a little nervously.

Wu Song smiled comfortingly, and said in a low voice: "I guarantee that my lady's craftsmanship will get better and better in the coming year!" ”

Xia Mei was a little embarrassed, glared at him and said, "I'm not here for this family, the Lord of the Stove God is the god who blesses the harmony of the family!" ”

Wu Song smiled and did not comment, Yun Ni naturally understood Wu Song, they all believe in fate and do not believe in God, and now they are clearly doing these things for Xia Mei.

stepped forward with a light smile at the moment and said: "Sister Xia Mei, we have sacrificed in this courtyard, and we have to go back to your house!" Let's go, it's early. ”

Xia Mei was successfully brought back to her senses, and then pulled a few people back to the Wu family's courtyard to worship the god of the stove. (To be continued.) )
