Chapter 157: The Roof
Su Miao felt that Huiwei didn't seem to be very interested in the paperwork and Lu Hui's affairs, so she didn't mention it anymore and nestled in his arms.
Aftertaste rubbed her long hair, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked softly:
"You don't want to ask me something?"
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, raised her neck and asked, "What do you want me to ask?" ”
Aftertaste glanced down at her, but didn't say anything, still stroked her hair, was quiet for a long time, and when she lowered her head and fiddled with his clothes, she spoke softly again, asking:
"What do you think about the King of Chef Competition?"
Su Miao was slightly stunned, wondering if he heard her talking to Changsheng that day, thought for a long time, and asked:
"Is the Chef Championship really that good?"
"Fame aside, the regional champion will receive a prize of 1,000 taels of silver, the Liangdu finals will receive a prize of 5,000 taels of silver, and the palace finals will receive a prize of 1,000 taels and gold, and if the emperor is happy, he will also give you a plaque in handwriting." Aftertaste said as she stroked her hair, adding an accent to the word "gold".
Su Miao's eyes lit up, and a small heart began to pound, she thought that the final winner of the King of Chef Contest would only hang a sign that said "Yue Liang National Chef King" to show honor, goodbye to the emperor, being invited by the emperor to eat or cooking for the emperor to eat, it turned out that there was a bonus, why didn't Changsheng tell her last time!
How did she know that Changsheng thought that she valued the honor of the king of chefs more, so she had been tempting her with honor, if she had known that it was useful to mention the bonus, he would have said it earlier.
Su Miao's heart has been pounding on a thousand taels of silver, although she is not short of money to eat. But he is still short of money, not to mention five thousand taels of silver, as long as he gets the one thousand taels of silver. When she comes back, she can want to bring down Pinxian Lou and then redeem Pinxian Lou.
A thousand taels......
Her heart was beating faster and faster, and she was getting more and more excited, and she had run out of ideas.
Looking back at her in his arms, he knew that the bonus was useful, and he knew that she didn't like money now.
"How do I sign up?" After thinking for a long time, she asked him with sparkling eyes.
"I've already reported it for you, if the censorship is clear. It won't be long before an invitation arrives for you. Aftertaste hugged her and said lightly.
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her eyes widened: "Huh? She let out a scream. After only half of the call, he was covered by the aftertaste, afraid that she would disturb the people.
"When did you sign me up? How to censor? She asked in surprise from under his palm.
"Xia Chang." He said two words to her, his expression was calm, "He is a member of the Liangdu Review Committee." The last time Master Jingming came to you, he was very satisfied. Probably he recommended you to Xia Chang. ”
Su Miao was stunned for a long time: "So, the last time Old Man Xia came to censor me?" Why don't you sue me, if you sue me, I won't be so casual! ”
Aftertaste smiled and flicked it on her forehead: "You are you, natural is the best." ”
Su Miao rubbed the place where he had bounced, and lowered her gaze into deep thought.
The prize money is very tempting for her now, but she doesn't like cooking competitions, and there are still a lot of things going on at home. Should she attend or not? Besides, she didn't know if she could pass the guò review, although she was confident in her craft. But who knows if her craftsmanship with too strong personal style will be liked by the professional judges, and if she wants to ask her eldest sister tomorrow morning after eating her dishes that day? No, no, she hasn't decided whether she wants to participate or not.
The aftertaste seemed to see her hesitation, and smiled:
"Don't look down on this competition, it's good for you to try it, if you can enter the finals of Liangdu, you will be able to see all the top chefs in Yue Liang Country."
Su Miao felt as if he was saying that she was short-sighted, although she did not know much about Yue Liangguo's catering industry, from setting up a stall in Changle Town to opening a restaurant in Fengzhou, she had never left the surrounding one-third of an acre, and the highest cooking skill among the people she knew was probably holding her, but this one was in a bottleneck period, and she didn't know if she had completely broken through now.
"Why are you so active and want me to participate?" She asked, straightening her neck.
"With your craft, you should see and learn." He replied lightly.
Su Miao looked up at him straight for a while, she wanted to ask him about the last competition, but she hesitated for a long time but didn't ask. She didn't want to get to the bottom of what had happened to him, unless he voluntarily sued him, it would only make him feel embarrassed, so she lowered her head and continued to pinch and knead his hands as erasers.
Aftertaste smiled softly, laughed out loud, hugged her tighter with his arm, was silent for a while, and whispered in her ear:
"I also participated in the last King Chef Competition."
"Hmm." Su Miao's heartbeat was suddenly fast, was he going to say it? He's going to tell her about his past, that means he's going to open his mind and allow her to step into his realm? Su Miao was a little excited, although she didn't particularly care about his past, she always believed that the present was more important than the past and the future.
"I lost in the last one." He continued, his tone dark, as if stained by the moonlight with a dark silver cloud.
Su Miao felt that it was not good to be "um" at this time, so she silently leaned on his arms.
"I lost to my second brother."
Su Miao's heart sank slightly, are brothers fighting? Is there a brotherly feud when you go home? Hui Dad's not very obtrusive dad can also give birth to two sons who fight with each other? Then again, the second brother who reminisces is the youngest chef in the history of Changsheng's mouth? This is not the point, the family has two sons who are celebrity chefs, the same as the Tong family. In addition to being a wealthy family in the south, the Tong family is also a fairly famous faction in the food industry, the Tong family cuisine is very famous in private cuisine, although it has declined in recent years, but the Tong family's children are good at cooking This tradition is still preserved.
"The Huixiang Building where your second brother is located......" she asked hesitantly.
"Holy."
Su Miao's heart is now not sinking but a heavy shock, she asked Cheng Tie, Huixianglou, the most famous restaurant in Liangdu, if you want to elect a representative among the many gorgeous restaurants in Liangdu, that is Huixianglou, Liangdu's representative restaurant is famous in the entire Yueliang country, not to mention, I heard that non-dignitaries are not allowed to enter, in Su Miao's judgment, Huixianglou probably belongs to the seven-star club-style restaurant.
can open such a top restaurant, what kind of woman is Hui Niang?
No, that's not the point, the point is ......
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the aftertaste, he was really a young master! It's still a big ...... Master!
"What's wrong?" Why did she stare at herself with such a strange expression, her face was almost crumpled into a ball of paper.
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and shook her head vigorously, no, she can't be too cowardly, she doesn't want to be considered a bun who has never seen the world, she also has self-esteem, although she is not a rich person, but she is also a middle-class person, she doesn't need to think that his father and mother are rich because he is superior, she can't discriminate against him, everyone is equal, everyone is equal......
She said this twice in her heart, looked at him, and smiled to show that she hadn't thought much of it.
She smiled a little ...... Coquettish?
I had never seen her smile like this, so I was stunned and got goosebumps.
"You, you really want me to go to the Chef Championship?" Su Miao still didn't understand his intentions.
"Hmm."
"Why?"
"I want to see where you go." He replied, "Each contestant can bring three assistants, and I will accompany you as your assistant." ”
Su Miao's heart beat slightly, at this time, she was no longer entangled in how rich the young master was, she remembered his defeat in the last competition and his subsequent departure, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said seriously:
"If you feel unwilling, the person who should go to participate is you, not me."
"No, losing is losing, there's nothing to be unwilling about, let alone ......" He was silent for a long time and said with a smile, "Don't say it, in short, it's a big competition every three years, this is an opportunity, it's a pity to miss it, you should think about it." ”
He obviously didn't finish his words, Su Miao looked at him with his neck up, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't say anything more, feeling that his neck was sore, she lowered it.
Su Miao didn't answer whether she wanted to participate or not, because it was too sudden, she lowered her head and began to think about it.
The aftertaste didn't rush her, just rubbed her black and silky hair.
……
Lu Hui's family affair was approaching, Lu Hui did not move, and the paperwork did not move. Lu Hui has never been out since she came over to say to Su Miao that day, and the clerk works and studies every day, Su Miao and others have to start preparing makeup for Lu Hui, and specially send it to the future to sell it for money, so as not to suffer a loss when Lu Hui marries in the past.
Everyone thought that this matter was like this, after all, the parents were willing, and Lu Hui did not object, as for the documents, they couldn't interfere without a name. How do you know that two days before the wedding, after Su Ji closed, the clerk was about to throw away two buckets of kitchen waste, and he didn't want to walk outside the side door, and Lu Hui stopped in front of him thinly, his eyes were as red as peaches, and he looked very pitiful as if he was crying. Her hands clasped together unconsciously, and she didn't speak, just looked straight at him, and within a few days, she was already thin to a bone.
The clerk looked at her blankly for a moment, then suddenly dropped the bucket in his hand, took her hand while no one was paying attention, and pulled her into a hidden dead alley in the distance.
As soon as he walked into the alley, the clerk turned around and was about to speak, when Lu Hui suddenly stepped forward and threw herself into his arms, hugged him, and cried:
"Brother Wen, I don't want to marry! I don't want to get married! They said the man was dying, and I was scared! I'm scared! ”
Clerical was at a loss for her crying, flustered, he also followed her sad, but there was nothing he could do, he wanted to pull her away, but she refused to let go like grasping a life-saving straw. The clerk's heart is full of pity for her, her mother has just passed away, she wants to recognize an outer room as a mother, scolded and humiliated day and night, her father has the same as not, and now she has to be forced to rejoice, regardless of the filial piety period just for the rich dowry.
But what could he say......
"Brother Wen, take me away!" He couldn't say anything, but Lu Hui did, and a small face covered with tears was full of determination and determination.
Clerical froze! (To be continued......)
