Chapter Ninety-Six: Strange Grass

Ling'er saw that the atmosphere on the table was a little depressed, and wanted to enliven the atmosphere, "Sister Shuangniang, it's okay, you see that we have big fish and meat every day, and we can't eat it at home for a month or two, so let's take the silver that has been deducted to eat!" ”

Shuangniang was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "What do you think, stinky boy, do you think there are such good things every day?" This is your luck today, there is a guest in front of you to set up a banquet, and there is too much left, and the people in the kitchen can't finish eating it! Usually, it's nice to have white rice in green vegetable soup! ”

"Huh? White rice in green vegetable soup?! Ling'er immediately showed a dish, how can you stand eating that thing every day with such a high-intensity work?

"Yes, it's good to have white rice, like the restaurant business was not good in the first two months, we ate three months of stalk rice, and there were so many stones in it that I couldn't pull it out! However, there are not many dishes to be washed, but the salary is only 200 yuan! The shopkeeper is really ......."

"Shuangniang, what are you doing with that? Eat your meal! Aunt Bai San glared at her and reprimanded, Shuangniang stuck out her tongue, winked at Ling'er, and gnawed on a chicken leg.

Ling'er also hurriedly ate a few more bites, until her stomach was seven or eight points full, she slowed down, looked up and swept around, and asked, "Third aunt, how is the business of this restaurant usual?" We don't really drink vegetable soup every day, do we? ”

Aunt Bai looked up at her and said with a smile: "Don't listen to Shuangniang's nonsense, it's not so miserable!" This Yan's Restaurant is the largest in our Banlin Town, and it is also the best business, there are many rare mountains here, the dishes are strange, the taste is unique, the price is not bad, and many rich and noble families in the city will come here! If business is bad here, there is no business anywhere else! ”

"The price is not bad?!" Ling'er couldn't believe it, and Shuangniang laughed: "What, Xiaoshi, do you think this is a black shop that specializes in customers?" ”

"Shuangniang!" Aunt Bai stared at her warningly, and Shuangniang waved her hand indifferently: "Mother, it's nothing, don't be so surprised, we people in Banlin Town, who doesn't know the owner's family background?"

But it's strange to say, the owner is not kind in other places, but the restaurant is very serious, never rips off customers, it is really honest business, or the restaurant in the city can't be opened! ”

This surprised Yun Shu very much, will the Yan family do business honestly? It's really weird, could it be that the Yan family has a freak? This question was quickly answered, and Aunt Bai said: "This is thanks to Yan Sanye's wife, Yan Sanye is a shrewd person, his wife is even more powerful, and he has some means, I heard that this Yan's restaurant was originally the marriage of Yan Sanye's wife!" ”

"Dowry? Who is Yan Sanye's wife? ”

"Little Stone, you don't even know this? Sure enough, it's a hillbilly! Hee-hee! ”

"Shuangniang, why are you getting more and more unruly?"

Shuangniang stuck out her tongue: "Mother, the matter between the Yan family and the Feng family, who of us in Banlin Town doesn't know?" Little Stone, you've grown so big, haven't your parents ever taken you to town? ”

Ling'er laughed dryly twice, and said haha perfunctorily, by the way, she remembered: I remember hearing someone say before that the reason why the Yan family in Banlin Town is called a tyrant is not only for the past two years, but for many years ago; At that time, the Yan family was just an ordinary family, with a few acres of land and an old yard, which had nothing to do with the word rich!

The brothers of the Yan family were able to run rampant, firstly, their whole family was already muddy and ruthless, and secondly, they had the support of the Feng family. The Feng family has always been one of the most wealthy families in Banlin Town, and the second eldest of the Yan family has always been the foreman of the Feng family's wood farm.

In this way, the two are even more like-minded and become one. That Yan Laosan's wife is the daughter of the Feng family? I didn't expect a concubine to get such a big restaurant as a dowry, and she could keep it in good order, and when the reputation of her family was so bad, it was not easy to do business, I really wanted to meet that special Yan San lady.

Ling'er chatted with them and ate, and then they each went back to the house to rest, and continued to work in the evening. Ling'er is now a man to the outside, and she has not arranged a place to live when she first arrives, so she has nothing to do and begins to wander around the back kitchen yard. Look here, smell there, say a few words sweetly when you meet a good mouth, and hide away when you meet a stinky face!

After a stroll down, the doorway of the back kitchen yard is really not ordinary, obviously a small kitchen, but the division of labor is extremely fine, such as watching the fire, washing dishes, cutting vegetables, washing vegetables, passing vegetables, cooking, each of which has a special person responsible, once there is a problem in which link, not only the person who did the wrong thing will be punished, but his direct boss will also be responsible.

In this way, every link in this small kitchen is performed by everyone, carefully, and rarely makes mistakes, but the intrigue between each other is even worse than elsewhere, and once something goes wrong, everyone blames each other is inevitable. In any case, for now, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages!

As soon as the unitary hour arrived in the afternoon, Aunt Bai Sanyu and others started work on time, and Ling'er continued to work, and she still did only running around and sorting and other hard work that afternoon.

was so busy until the beginning of the morning before finishing work, everyone dragged their tired bodies back to their rooms, but Ling'er didn't know where to go. When she was confused, the janitor shouted to her, "Hey, boy, you're Chef Sun's helper, right?" ”

Ling'er nodded: "Yes, big brother, do you have any orders?" ”

"Heh, I don't dare to tell you, Chef Sun left a message and told you to go to his yard to find him after finishing your work!"

"Huh? Oh! Okay, thank you, big brother, big brother has worked hard! ”

Ling'er thanked the janitor for flattering, and then went to Chef Sun's courtyard happily. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw Chef Sun standing in the courtyard with his hands on his chest and his head up, Ling'er looked in the direction of his sight, there was nothing, the bright moon in the dark sky was quite beautiful! Hey, this old man of the cook will still admire the moon? It's a surprise!

Ling'er happily jumped over: "Master Sun, I'm back!" ”

Chef Sun paused, glanced back at Ling'er, and frowned unhappily: "Who are you?" ”

"Huh?" Ling'er was stunned for a long time, then blinked and said, "Chef Sun, I'm a little stone, didn't you leave me down to be a helper and let me go to the kitchen to wash the dishes?" ”

Chef Sun stared at Ling'er for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Oh, it turned out to be a small stone!" Why, you didn't break the plate, did you? ”

Chef Sun's sudden affectionate tone made Ling'er stunned again, and she said dumbfounded: "Still... Luckily, I only helped with changing the water, sorting and moving things, and didn't touch the plates much! ”

"Oh? You've been busy all day and you haven't touched the plate? The slightly reproachful contempt in this tone made Ling'er unhappy, thinking that she had worked hard and tired all day, but she had to say this, if you go to cut wood, maybe a foot thick tree can be cut down!

She thought about it, but still bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, Master Sun, I will definitely continue to work hard tomorrow!" ”

"Hmph, it's good that you know, I don't want a helper who can't even recognize the plate!" Chef Sun suddenly changed his face again, flicked his sleeves and turned into the room!

Ling'er stared blankly at the door for a long time, she patted her head, I... Did I just hallucinate? The old man Sun pretended not to know him for a while, and then he was enthusiastic and caring, and he became arrogant again in the blink of an eye! He's sick, isn't he?

She was muttering and complaining when a gust of wind blew, and there seemed to be a sweet faint aroma in the air, which smelled very good! What is it? Ling'er closed her eyes and sniffed in enjoyment, then followed the direction of the fragrance and found a clump of grass under the courtyard wall. The leaves of the grass are the size of a grain of rice, and they are green and transparent, and if you look closely, it seems that there is still a shiny luster?

What is this? Ling'er squatted down to take a closer look, and then plucked the leaves with her hands, and a stronger aroma wafted out, and the fluorescence on the leaves also flowed! It's so beautiful, Ling'er likes to take off a little bit and put it in the palm of her hand to look at it over and over again.

"What are you doing here? Don't go back to sleep yet? ”

The sudden sound behind frightened Ling'er and sat on the ground! She turned around and saw Chef Sun standing behind her at some point! She hurriedly got up: "I'm sorry, Master Sun, I... I don't know where to sleep? ”

"That's! Go! Chef Sun pointed to a side room on the left side of the courtyard and said expressionlessly.

Ling'er thanked him, pinched the small clump of strange grass that had just been picked and ran quickly to the wing, and then lit the oil lamp with a fire breaker. This is actually a single room, although it is not big, it is fully equipped, and it is bigger than the boudoir of your own!

Ling'er pretended to wash up, climbed into bed, blew out the oil lamp, lay down for a while, put on her clothes again, and looked out when she touched the window lightly. I saw Chef Sun standing in his position, looking at the strange grass motionless, after a while, he looked up at the moon, turned around, squatted next to the grass, reached out to touch the grass, and muttered something in his mouth?

Chef Sun stayed in the courtyard until mid-hour, when the moon was in the sky, and he stood up and sighed: "Alas, little guy, little guy, you must give me a good time, and in a few days it will be the time for you to come in handy!" Then he waited a little longer, and then went back to the house with his hands behind his back and shaking his head.

Although Ling'er felt strange, she had long wanted to be sleepy after a tiring day, and when she saw that there was nothing to see, she climbed into bed in a daze and soon fell asleep.

The next day, Ling'er was woken up by Bai Shuangniang, the little girl was lying on the window and patting hard, so that the dust by the window fell straight down, Ling'er was so shocked that she sat up and got dressed to open the door for her.

Shuangniang jumped in unceremoniously, looked around, and said enviously: "Little stone, Chef Sun is really good to you, he actually gave you a single room!" That's nice! It would be nice if I could stay alone in one room sometime! ”

"Shuangniang, can't you live alone when you go home?"

"How can that? There are only three rooms in my house, one kitchen, one for my parents and my parents, and the other room for me to squeeze in with my brothers! But my mother said that when the second brother earns money, our family will build two more houses, and then we will share one with me! ”

"That's good, I can't wait long, Sister Shuangniang will soon be able to have her own house!"

Ling'er washed up while playing with Shuangniang, and when she was about to go out, she intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the corner of the wall last night, and suddenly she was stunned, and when she looked back, it was empty!
