Chapter 45: The Ideals and Reality of My Brother

Su Miao looked in the direction of Su Yan's finger, and saw that in the dark alley across the street, a person was sitting there with his back against the wall, his hands folded on his knees, his face buried between his arms, the clothes on his body were so dirty that he couldn't see the original color, and there were many tears on it, revealing the same dirty underwear, strictly speaking, it was no longer clothes but rags hanging on his body, and a handful of withered grass-like unkempt hair hung down all over his body almost covering the whole person, and he thought it was a hairy ape running out of the mountains from a distance in the gray weather.

Su Miao was startled, and after looking at it for a long time, she was sure that it was indeed a person, thinking to herself how this person looked like a beggar, she almost knew the number of beggars in Changle Town, but this person felt that he was new?

Just as he was thinking, Hu Shi turned around and saw that she was staring at a suspicious person, urging her to leave quickly. Su Miao responded, shook her head and went straight to follow.

The family walked around the shops on Changle Street, although the Hu family had bought all the goods that should have been bought during the Spring Festival, Su Xian and Hu were still not satisfied. Su Xian completely inherited her mother's love for shopping, and the more rouge gouache and satin fabrics bought, the more excited they became, so angry that Mrs. Su knocked on the ground with a crutch in the store and scolded the two people for being "losers", but Su Xian and Hu Shi turned a deaf ear.

They spent the monthly money they had accumulated on weekdays, Su Miao didn't care, smiled and promised the whole family that they could buy everyone what they wanted the most as a gift, Su Xian immediately picked a pair of gold-filled earrings, Su Chan asked for a silver sheath dagger, although the Hu family did not agree with her to buy that, Su Miao still bought it for her. Su Yan thought for a long time and whispered that he wanted a new set of needlework tools, Hu's face turned green, and Su Miao responded with a smile. It was the turn of the Hu family and Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su didn't look down on spending money indiscriminately and resolutely didn't want to, Su Miao took the initiative and picked a jade bracelet for her and the Hu family.

When we arrived at Hongxi Tower, it was already past the time of Shen, the sky was covered with thick clouds, and the sky was dark, and the fierce wind was blowing from all sides, blowing the trees on both sides of the street as if they might break at any moment.

"It's going to rain." Su Chan looked out the window at the pedestrians and vendors who were blown by the wind and said.

"It's time for it to rain, and if it doesn't rain, we'll die of drought." Mrs. Su leaned against the window and said when she heard the words.

Hong Xilou is good at making fish, Su Miao This is the first time to eat the signature dish of the most famous restaurant in Changle Town, and I am looking forward to it. The guys brought the dishes one after another, and Defu subconsciously got up to help set the dishes, before they agreed to meet at the door of Hongxi Building, and the child actually arrived half an hour early.

"Defu sit down, you don't have to worry about anything today, eat open, you're welcome!" Su Miao said with a smile.

Defu was slightly stunned, nodded shyly, and sat down. Su Xian hadn't been in the restaurant for a long time, picked up the earrings that she had been looking at, and picked up the chopsticks with great interest. The family does not have to be humble, and at the same time moves chopsticks to their favorite dishes, puts them in their mouths and chews them carefully.

After a silence, everyone's eyebrows showed a dissatisfied look, Su Chan took a sip of barley tea, Su Yan frowned, and whispered:

"It's not as delicious as the second sister's cooking."

"The fish is too woody, the soy sauce is too coarse, and it is not smooth and tender at all." Now Su Xian is used to eating Su Miao's cooking, but she never thought that she would not be used to eating the restaurant because of this.

"It's really not as delicious as the second girl's cooking." Even Mrs. Su couldn't help but say.

"Spend it in vain!" Hu began to feel sorry for money.

When Su Miao heard this, she hurriedly laughed and said: "It's not good for the chef here to say this, it will make people angry, it's hard to come out of the restaurant and have a good time, at least you don't have to cook by yourself today." ”

Despite this reason, everyone's anticipation was still crushed into slag and became tasteless. Su Miao smiled, secretly glad that it was so wise not to order too many dishes.

Halfway through the meal, Su Miao glanced at Su Yan, who wanted to peel the shrimp shell but refused to use his hands because he was dirty, muttered for a moment, and said with a smile:

"Yan'er, now that the family is well-off, you should think about going back to school."

Su Yan sighed in his heart, his fair little face stiffened, and he became more and more ignorant.

Hu Shi was very happy and said: "Your second sister is right, I didn't mention that the family was not rich before, what can you do if you kid messes around the pot all day long!" Before she finished speaking, she was glared at by Mrs. Su, she ignored it, and continued, "Now I have spare money, let your second sister find a good school, you study hard, and don't forget your second sister's hard work for you when you get famous in the future." ”

Su Yan didn't answer, and lowered his head to fiddle with his belt.

Seeing that he looked embarrassed, Hu Shi was anxious before he wanted to speak, Su Miao spoke first, and said softly:

"Yan'er, you have three tough sisters and a short-tempered and doting mother, as the eldest you are very dependent on your family, this is not your fault, but you are no longer a child, you will get married sooner or later and have children to stand on your own, you should also learn to be independent, you don't need to be too fast, you can take it step by step, first start by being able to express your inner thoughts. Say, what do you think about your future? ”

Su Yan tugged at the belt of her clothes, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she looked at her with an uneasy expression, and Su Miao looked at him silently. Although my sister and mother were very dissatisfied with those comments, when they saw that the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, they swallowed their dissatisfaction back.

"I, I, I want to be a chef like my father and second sister!" Su Yan hesitated for a long time, closed his eyes, and finally gritted his teeth and said it.

"Little bunny!" Hu reflexively ran away, but was stopped by Su Miao's "mother".

"I don't have any judgment on your ideals, but if you think you're a chef just by cutting and boiling, you're wrong. Every dish and every flavor of the seasoning contains a profound historical heritage, the order and practice of each process are also theoretically based, the real chef makes a dish with style and charm, this is not learned, but by their own knowledge, experience, comprehension accumulation, do not understand these but say that the idea of being a chef is arrogant, is contempt for this industry. Of course, if you just want to be a casual cook, I won't say anything. ”

"It's not casual!" Su Yan angrily shouted at her, "I am serious about being a good chef, and I want to make everyone who has eaten my dishes happy!" ”

Su Miao was slightly stunned, looking at his rare golden eyes, immature but persistent...... She's had times like this!

"You can apprentice with me while you study, but if you don't get good grades, you don't have to talk about cooking. As for being a chef, you must first be admitted to Xiucai, if you still think that being a chef is better than entering a career after winning Xiucai, I promise. ”

Su Yan hesitated, and Su Miao smiled:

"What is it to take a show for your ideals, or is your ideal only this little bit of Cheng dΓΉ?"

Su Yan was furious, and Huo Di stood up: "Take the test!" ”

Su Miao smiled: "Very good." ”
