Ling'er hugged a few wild rabbits, "No, my father said that these will be sold for two hundred yuan, and the money is for my father to buy medicine!" ”

"Buying medicine? Oh, what medicine do you want, I'll give it to you, bring it! Two entourages rushed up, one left and one right grabbed Ling'er, Ling'er desperately hugged the rabbit while struggling and shouted: "Stop, stop!" You bully people, this is mine, it's for my father's change of medicine, you stop! ”

There was a commotion here, which naturally attracted the attention of others, and after a while, a circle of people gathered around. Everyone recognized those ruffians as the guys from Yan's Restaurant, although they sympathized with Ling'er, and some people hid in the crowd and whispered to help, but no one dared to stand up, the leading ruffian glared, everyone shrank back, all pretending to be deaf and dumb, as if they were nothing!

After a lot of pulling, the ruffians still failed to grab the rabbit, but were overturned by Ling'er to the ground, and the leading ruffian rolled up his sleeves and said, "Yo! The kid is very capable, neither of them can control you, hey, I don't believe it! He spat two bubbles of saliva on his hands, half-crouched, and spread his arms, about to pounce on him in a chick-grabbing posture!

Ling'er dodged with the rabbit in her arms and shouted, "I'll give you rabbits, you have to find me an errand and pay me!" ”

The ruffian paused and picked his ears, "Boy, what did you say?" Say it again! ”

The onlookers kindly persuaded: "Son, give them the rabbits!" Don't look for errands, isn't your dad sick? Shall we go back and take care of your father? ”

Ling'er blinked her eyes and said with tears in her eyes: "No, I'm too young and incapable now, I can't hunt, I can't cut wood, I can't recognize medicinal herbs, my father is sick and has to go into the mountains to hunt to feed us, I... I don't want my father and mother to be uncomfortable, I want to find an errand, I want to learn how to cook well, make money to support my family in the future, and make a lot of delicious food for my father! ”

When everyone saw that the child was pitiful and sensible, they sighed with pity, and even some women secretly wiped away their tears. The ruffian leader smiled: "Hey, boy, you have found the right place, just right, in a few days, the old lady of our host family will celebrate her 60th birthday, and she is going to set up a feast, and the chef is short of manpower, and the master of our restaurant will accept you as an apprentice if you do a good job, how about it?" To come? ”

The ruffian leader laughed sinisterly, everyone gasped, and the people behind Ling'er secretly pulled his clothes and reminded him in a low voice: "Little doll, don't go, beware that you have no return!" ”

Seeing that Ling'er didn't answer for a long time, one of the followers shouted: "Hey, boy, today is our third master Yu is happy, make an exception to help you introduce, others can't come if they want to, don't you don't know how to lift!" ”

Ling'er pretended to hesitate and said timidly: "I... If I go, there will be work... Is it paid? ”

"Hey, you stinky boy, it's good to lift you, you want to be paid before you do the work, you beg for a beating, you ......"

"Hirako!" The head of the ruffian was playing majestic, and the follower immediately retracted, nodded and said: "Third master, I think this kid is an unknown person, let's not bother to talk nonsense with him, just grab it... I took my things and went back to hand them over! Isn't it, jar? ”

"Yes, third master, let's take care of the cook's affairs!"

"Afraid of what? Didn't Chef Sun want a kid to start? The owner got dozens of them for him to choose and he was not satisfied, and now he is worried, since this kid took the initiative to send it to the door, why don't we send it to try? ”

"Yes, yes, if it really happens, we will make a great contribution, and we can also... Can you still ......" Pingzi glanced at the big fat rabbits in Ling'er's hands, the meaning was self-evident, and at the same time secretly stepped on the jar. The altar reacted, and hurriedly echoed with a smile: "Yes, yes, the owner has sent a message, let us only do legitimate business in the past few days, just ......"

"! What day are we not doing legitimate business? Yu San scolded him confidently, and the two followers immediately echoed, and everyone in the audience muttered disdainfully and mockingly, but they didn't dare anyone to really say that they were not.

Then the two followers took Ling'er's fat rabbit and took her into the town and went to the east of the town. A few minutes later, several people came to a large wooden building, and the words 'Yan's Restaurant' on the plaque were extremely conspicuous.

Ling'er looked up at the door for a long time, and Pingzi ran out: "Hey, boy, don't be sluggish, go with you!"

Hey, you kid, your luck is really good, a few rabbits got the recommendation of our third master, tell you, that Chef Sun is a famous chef in the provincial city, and our owner specially spent a lot of money to invite him, he really accepted you as an apprentice, not to mention your father's little medicine fee, even if you buy Zhuangzi and buy the field, it will only be a matter of a few months! ……”

Pingzi led the way in front, and his mouth was not idle, muttering and nagging all the way, Ling'er was not disgusted, but listened carefully with pretended worship, and urged him a few words from time to time. When the two of them arrived at the door of the back kitchen, they were stopped, Pingzi reported the origin, the man looked at Ling'er with a little contempt, snorted coldly, and dropped a sentence: "Wait, our Chef Sun is busy!" ”

Pingzi made a laughing face, took Ling'er aside, and waited for the porter to blink an eye, he clenched his fists, squeezed his eyebrows and made a small movement on the back of the porter, and as soon as he turned around, he immediately stood up straight, touched his nose and looked up at the sky!

Ling'er looked funny, rolled her eyes, leaned up and said, "Ping... Ping Ye, this Chef Sun doesn't seem to be easy to serve, he... Will he look down on me and kick me out? ”

Pingzi glanced down at Ling'er, pouted, and said, "I see... It's possible! But... Not necessarily, maybe that old man is a freak, and he likes you as a little man who can't pull a few pieces of meat all over his body! ”

Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth, scolded this guy in her heart, and said, "Master Ping, is this Chef Sun's cooking skills very good?" How lively the provincial city is, why did he come to our town? ”

"Huh~~~, you kid has a lot of appetite! Where is our town small? Let me tell you, don't look at the name of our town, some counties may not be comparable to this scale!

As for the one surnamed Sun, he didn't come for the little money from our host! Cut~~ Isn't he just a cook? Let him hold a birthday banquet for the old lady of our host family is to promote him, and throw people face all day long, something! ”

Pingzi muttered and complained, Ling'er always felt that there was something in the words when she listened, she looked around and whispered: "Pingye, when did this Chef Sun come?" Why haven't you heard of it before? ”

"Of course, the owner only spent a lot of money to invite him back two months ago, and he has been working as a chef in the county restaurant, if it weren't for the birthday banquet of the old lady of the owner, and he added extra silver, the old strong donkey would not be willing to come!"

"Really? That... What can Chef Sun's salary be for a month... Five taels of silver? ”

"Where can I find someone? It's fifty taels! ”

"Fifty taels!" Ling'er looked at her slap in surprise, a cook has a monthly salary of fifty taels! That's high! The key is that the Yan family, who will only take advantage of others, is willing to do so? It's weird!

"A lot, right? Don't talk about you, Lao Tzu was so envious that he dropped his eyes when he heard it! Lao Tzu has been working in this restaurant for more than ten years, and it is only less than two taels of silver a month, and the old strong donkey ......" Speaking of this, he turned around and saw that the porter was looking at this side, he quickly nodded to the man and said, "Hehe, big brother, is Chef Sun free?" ”

The man snorted coldly, "I don't know, wait!" ”

Pingzi touched his nose curtly, wanted to say a few good words but couldn't find the words, turned around and saw Ling'er, patted Ling'er on the shoulder and said, "So, boy, you give me a good performance later, if that old... If Chef Sun falls for you in the truth, it will be a blessing that you have cultivated in several lifetimes, and we will also follow a little light when the time comes, right? Hehe! ”

"Yes, yes, I will do a good job, thank you Pingye!" Ling'er patted her ass on the road, followed Pingzi a little farther away from the door, and asked some about Chef Sun's personality, temperament, preferences, and the content he was responsible for this birthday banquet.

After listening to Pingzi's answer, Ling'er was quite satisfied, and made up her mind to let Chef Sun take a fancy to herself, because Chef Sun was the chef who was personally responsible for all the food on the day of Mrs. Yan's birthday banquet, and the staple food was hot and cold soup and even tea......

The two waited outside the door for more than an hour or two, until it was almost noon, when a short and stocky old man in his fifties came out slowly with his hands behind his back, and the porter respectfully greeted the man: "Grandpa, you have worked hard!" ”

The old man hummed lightly, and walked slowly in front of Ling'er, Ling'er asked in a low voice: "Master Ping, is this Chef Sun?" ”

Ling'er asked three times in a row, seeing that the old man was about to pass through the door, he didn't listen to Pingzi's answer, and when he looked back, the guy was actually asleep! Ling'er hurriedly shook him awake: "Ping Ye, Ping Ye!" ”

Pingzi woke up suddenly, saw Ling'er's head, and said unhappily: "What are you arguing about?" Can't you also save light? ”

"Master Ping, Chef Sun is out!"

"Huh? Where is it? Where is it? ”

"Over there, go through the gate and go to the courtyard over there!"

"What? Why didn't you call me earlier? Hurry! Pingzi jumped up, pulled up Ling'er and chased after her. They chased the door, just in time to see the old man pacing into the drawing-room.

"Chef Sun!" Pingzi shouted, the old man stopped and turned around, and when he saw that it was Pingzi, he frowned unhappily and entered the living room with a cold snort. Pingzi was stunned for a moment, took a sip, pulled Ling'er and ran over, and when he arrived at the door of the living room, he cowered with a smile and said, "Hehe, Sun Da... Uncle Sun! ”

The old man glared at Pingzi and said in a rough voice: "The ghost is your uncle!" ”

Pingzi's face turned red, he didn't dare to get angry, he wanted to swallow it and was unwilling, Ling'er couldn't help but laugh, Pingzi turned around angrily and reprimanded: "Stinky boy, laugh at your uncle!" ”

The old man in the room put the teacup on the table heavily: "What? Finding fault isn't it? ”

Pingzi was startled, and quickly waved his hand: "No, no, that, Sun... Grandpa, I'm ...... Yu Sanye heard that you are looking for a kid to start, you see, we have found one for you, are you satisfied? ”

Pingzi pushed Ling'er forward, and Ling'er stumbled forward a few steps into the living room and came to the old man. Looking up, the old man was frowning and looking at himself, Ling'er quickly knelt down, kowtowing a few times like a mountain boy who had never seen the world: "Grandpa Sun is good, Grandpa Sun is auspicious, my name is Xiaoshi, I want to learn to cook, please Grandpa Sun teach me!"
