Chapter Ninety-Nine: Weird
After Chef Sun left, Ling'er sat at the door of the storage room in a daze, thinking about the situation in the past few days, how strange she thought, she always felt that there was something wrong with Chef Sun, and she couldn't say what the problem was for a while.
She sat bored at the door for more than an hour, and she didn't see Chef Sun come back, she was busy every day a few days ago, and now she was suddenly idle, she was really not used to it!
So she stood up and walked slowly around Chef Sun's private kitchen, which was strange to say, this kitchen was big, the things were complete, and the placement was also exquisite, but why was it so spotless? The kitchen is not a museum, what are you doing when you make it so clean? Doesn't Chef Sun have to turn on the fire every day? What kind of chef is no fire and no hands?
She walked to the stove and glanced around, then reached out and wiped it into the pot, picked it up and looked, there was actually a thin layer of ash, and a little rust star, this pot was obviously bought and unopened!
"What are you doing?" The sudden sound behind scared Ling'er so much that she almost screamed! She turned around quickly, habitually raised her fist in a defensive posture, and when she saw the person clearly, she quickly withdrew her hand and saluted respectfully: "Hello Grandpa Sun!" ”
Chef Sun looked at her twice, and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you tell you to look at the storage room?" What are you doing here? ”
"I ......" Ling'er looked around, and her mind turned: "Grandpa Sun, I'm hungry, so I want to... Want to see ......"
"There's nothing to eat here, I'm going to eat and go to the big kitchen!"
Ling'er was stunned for a moment, blinked and said, "Grandpa Sun, are you?" Why don't I bring it to you? ”
Unexpectedly, Chef Sun nodded without hesitation, and waved his hand impatiently: "Go, go, go!" ”
Ling'er walked out of the private kitchen, slowly walked to the big kitchen, and looked back as she walked, and her doubts were even more suspicious: Chef Sun is a master chef specially invited back from the provincial capital by the Yan family with a lot of money, and he has worked in the restaurant opened by the Yan family in the county seat for more than two months, so it stands to reason that his cooking skills should be fine!
But as a chef, he occupies such a good and big place, he doesn't cook or turn on the fire, and he has to be sent by others to eat, how do you think it's strange!
She came to the big kitchen and found Steward Liu in the kitchen, saying that she wanted to serve Chef Sun's meals, but to her surprise, Steward Liu was not surprised at all, and soon brought over a tray in person, on which were very delicate three dishes and one soup.
Ling'er stretched out her hand to take it, and Steward Liu smiled and said: "No, no, little stone, you are now a celebrity in front of Chef Sun, I don't dare to let you do it yourself, I sent it before, or I'll come, you go ahead and lead the way!" ”
Ling'er had to walk to the front, from the big kitchen to the private kitchen is only a few dozen meters away, still in the same yard, how can you lead the way? However, I heard that there are many rules in big families, and Steward Liu seems to have the heart to please Chef Sun, people want this opportunity, and they are happy to relax, why not?
When he arrived at the door of the private kitchen, Steward Liu stopped and said with a smile: "Little stone, you have been tired for a long time, go to the big kitchen to eat, I have already asked someone to prepare it for you, Chef Sun is here and I will serve!" ”
"No... Not really! Or am I ......"
"It's Steward Liu, right? Come on in! Chef Sun walked to the door of the kitchen at some point, and Steward Liu smiled and said, "Master Sun, I'm really sorry, I'm late today, and I have to trouble Master Xiaoshi to run!" ”
Ling'er hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No trouble, no trouble, I'm small, I run fast, just right!" Just right! ”
Steward Liu smiled: "Look, this kid is so clever, he deserves to be the person that Master Sun likes!" ”
Chef Sun said, "Okay, bring it in!" Boy, you go to the big kitchen to eat, then go back to the courtyard to rest, and come back before the time comes! ”
Ling'er wanted to refuse politely, but suddenly found that Chef Sun seemed to be looking at each other with Steward Liu, she bowed her head and obediently agreed, turned around and slowly walked towards the big kitchen. Chef Sun and Steward Liu stood at the door for a while, until they saw Ling'er walking away, Chef Sun glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Come in!" ”
Steward Liu entered the door, and Chef Sun looked around vigilantly at the door, then retracted and slammed the door shut. And this series of actions fell into the eyes of Ling'er hiding behind the flowers!
She squatted in place and watched for a while, and saw that the door over there had been closed, and she really wanted to touch it and eavesdrop, but there were many people in this place, and it was over if she was caught doing those small actions in broad daylight, so she had to give up!
Ling'er stood up and turned around, her forehead was hit by a strong bang, and she herself was knocked back to the ground, both sides rubbed their foreheads and shouted, and the other party said, "Hey, boy, what are you doing sneaking around here?" ”
Ling'er covered her forehead and looked over, it was actually the kitchen steward who opposed her taking care of Chef Sun's tableware yesterday, surnamed Yan, who was said to be the next cousin of the Yan family.
She hurriedly got up and apologized: "I'm sorry, big steward, I... I saw that there seemed to be a worm in the flower bed, and I was afraid that it would destroy the flowers and plants, so... So...... Hurry up! ”
Ling'er stretched out her hand to pull the big steward, but was slapped away, and the chief steward rubbed his waist and got up: "You stinky boy, sneaking around in broad daylight, did you do something unseemly?" ”
"No, no, the big steward, Grandpa Sun asked me to come over for dinner, I... I'll go to work after eating! ”
The chief steward glanced at the private kitchen twice, frowned, and said, "Chef Sun is not here?" ”
"Here, he's eating in the house, and Steward Liu is also inside!"
"Steward Liu?" The chief steward thought for a while and muttered: "Two big men, they have to close the door for a meal in the middle of the day, and they don't know what they are doing?" What a ......."
Ling'er listened to him muttering and complaining, and seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Chef Sun, so she took the opportunity to find an excuse to slip away, and rushed into the big kitchen in a few steps, and went straight to the courtyard where the dishes were washed. Shuangniang over there was the busiest time, and Ling'er helped them for a quarter of an hour after running before and after, and they eased up a lot.
Shuangniang, who got empty, said: "Hey, little twins, I heard that you got a good errand, what's the matter, the errand is broken?" Driven back by Chef Sun? Just right, I don't think it's two days ago, we can't be busy as soon as you leave! ”
Aunt Bai San said: "Shuangniang, don't talk nonsense! Xiao Shi's errand is not something that ordinary people can do, it's lunch time, Xiao Shi must be here to eat! ”
"Huh? No way? Little Rock, can you eat at noon? ”
Ling'er smiled embarrassedly: "Yes! Grandpa Sun asked me to come over for dinner and rest for a while! ”
"Come over for dinner? Isn't there a big kitchen over there? Don't Chef Sun cook? Shuangniang asked again, Ling'er smiled awkwardly, this was exactly the question she wanted to ask, and she unconsciously looked at Aunt Bai.
Sure enough, Aunt Bai San didn't disappoint her, and answered: "Silly boy, who said that chefs have to cook every day?" The reason why chefs are called chefs is that they only do it when the big people come, usually they have to cultivate well, and they have to study the ingredients and dishes, and their meals are naturally served by others! ”
"Huh? So? Isn't being a chef more leisurely than being a master? ”
"Of course not, the chef is not so easy to be, if the master is not satisfied, he can let you go immediately, and then you will not only not get the money, but also have a bad reputation, and no one will believe you if you want to do anything else in the future. Therefore, they spend all their hearts on researching ingredients and cooking skills, and they must not only be delicious but also exquisite! ”
Shuangniang and Ling'er both had a teachable expression, and after a while, Shuangniang was curious: "Hey, little stone, what kind of errand did Chef Sun send you?" Do you wash the dishes too? ”
"No, it's just a set of porcelain!"
"Take care of the porcelain? What's so nice about that, as long as the door is closed and locked, who would dare to steal it in this big yard? ”
Ling'er smiled awkwardly, remembering the exquisite dishes and plates she had seen before, as well as Chef Sun's cautious and loving appearance, this is really not an easy errand, by the way, you have to eat and go back quickly, if something goes wrong, you will be unlucky!
Ling'er went into the big kitchen to ask for food, and saw that the kitchen was too busy and had no place to stay, so she simply ran to the corner of the yard where the dishes were washed to eat, and chatted with Shuangniang and a few people by the way.
Shuangniang looked at the big fish and meat in Ling'er's bowl, and was envious, Ling'er whispered: "Sister Shuangniang will wait a while, I will eat it in exchange for you, you can eat some more!" ”
"Huh? Will it work? If you are seen! ”
"It's okay, I'll help you block it!"
Aunt Bai Sanwu watched the two children muttering, but didn't say anything, just calmly continued to busy her work, and Lu Wuniang in the middle never said much from beginning to end, just lowered her head and was busy!
After the replacement, Ling'er said while washing the dishes: "Third aunt, Grandpa Sun asked me to come over to order food, and it was Steward Liu who sent it, I haven't seen Steward Liu before, what is he responsible for?" ”
"Steward Liu?" Aunt Bai San thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I've only seen that person once or twice, and he seems to be... The distant relatives of the owner's family, who only came two months ago, originally asked him to be in charge of Chef Sun's affairs, but after Chef Sun came, he ran on both sides, and he didn't know exactly what he was responsible for! ”
Ling'er asked a lot of questions in the corners, it is said that in the past two months, many people have come to the kitchen one after another, and people have been arranged in various places, so even Aunt Bai, who has been working here for a few years, can't recognize them all.
Ling'er helped until the end of noon before leaving, thinking back to what had happened in the past few days and the news she had just heard from Aunt Bai, she always felt that there was something strange in the big kitchen of Yan's Restaurant. And this weird core, intuitively, Ling'er feels that these things seem to be related to Chef Sun, and the weirdest thing about Chef Sun is the few psychedelic grasses in the middle of the night!
Ling'er paced slowly towards the resting yard, and halfway through she changed her mind and decided to go directly to the private kitchen. Steward Liu has been delivering food to Chef Sun for more than half an hour, it should be over, right? But when she arrived at Chef Sun's private kitchen, the door was still closed, and there was no padlock outside, so there was someone inside?
Ling'er stood in front of the door for a while, hesitating to knock on the door and go in, when she suddenly heard a crisp sound inside, something was broken? Ling'er was in a hurry, and pushed the door in without thinking. (To be continued.)
