Chapter 68: The Chef's Troubles.

Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

After the final exams, my friends bought tickets home, after all, there was a Spring Festival in the middle of the winter vacation, and no matter what, they had to go home.

The only exception was Oliver, who, as a Frenchman, did not return home at the end of the Christmas season and decided to stay in China during the Chinese New Year. He didn't know if he would go back to France to study, so he wanted to stay as long as he could while he could try more food in China.

But in fact, everyone knows that he just wants to stay here, be with Ash, and be part of her new dish development.

Staying with Oliver was Su Yang, who was already alone, and it didn't matter if he went back later.

After Ai Zhongkun came back, he persuaded him to stay in Ai's house for the New Year, and Oliver was afraid of boredom if he stayed here alone, so he kept Su Yang together.

When Ash heard about it, she breathed a sigh of relief, she was worried that she would not do well in developing creative dishes by herself because of the holiday.

After all, the last time she was developing a new dish in France, she went astray, causing irreparable results. This time she tried again, not only because she lost her job, but because it was about the survival and development of her restaurant.

Of course, there are two things to figure out before researching a new dish:

First, who destroyed the decoration of the restaurant a while ago; Second, how exactly Wanfu Lou poached their chef.

Ash was busy with the final term and the punishment task of the system, and she didn't have time to figure it out, but that didn't mean that she didn't care.

The top priority is to find out who smashed the store, and she has to find out whether the competitor is only Wanfulou, or other enemies hiding in the shadows before resuming business.

For her, the most convenient thing is, of course, to go to Wanfulou to inquire about the news.

Because if it is made by his family, then his family's ingredients may reveal something sooner or later, if it is not made by his family, then his camera is not broken, and he can try to negotiate to get the video.

Ash didn't have lunch at home that day, and came to Wanfulou early, after the last battle with Li Lan, the entire Wanfulou people already knew her. But this time no one neglected her anymore and served her like a normal guest.

She estimated that the Li family heard the news that the Ai family was going to marry the Fang family, and coupled with the large flow of people during the winter vacation, they didn't have a good image of the store for Ash, so they held their breath.

Although the food was eaten, Ash couldn't find out anything from the mouth of the food that was served, as they lost their ability to communicate after being cooked.

She had a trip to the back kitchen to hear what the fresh ingredients had to say.

But—how was she going to get in, that's a question.

The back kitchen of the restaurant is an important place.

After thinking for a moment, Ash had an idea in her mind, and she ate slowly. Then she ordered several dishes from the Ai family's recipe, but the chef did it anyway, but she ate very little.

Finally, when it was not early and it was almost time for the restaurant to get off work, she raised her hand and called the waiter.

The other party thought that she was going to pay the bill, so she came over happily, but heard her ask: "Hello, is your chef Liu Kun here?" ”

The waiter gave her a strange look and replied, "Yes, may I ask what ...... you have?"

Without waiting for the waiter to finish speaking, Ash got straight to the point and said, "Can you please pass a message for me, just say that Ash wants to go to the back kitchen to meet him, he should be off work at this time, right?" ”

Saying that, Ash stuffed the waiter with a "tip" of several hundred yuan, and said with a smile: "Just trouble you to pass a message for me." ”

The waiter pinched the red ticket in his hand, and finally nodded, "Cheng, then I am only responsible for passing the word, I dare not guarantee whether he is willing or not." ”

Ash smiled and nodded, "Uh-huh." ”

Five minutes later, Ash entered the back kitchen of Wanfu Building as he wished, and Liu Kun sat on a high stool and got up immediately when he saw her come in.

"Miss Ai, what are you looking for me?" Liu Kun said and returned the stool to her, "Please sit down." ”

"Hello Sister Xixi!"

"Wow, I haven't seen Xixi for a long time, I heard that you don't go out much to prepare for the final exam~"

"Is Sister Xixi eating here?"

"Why did Xiao Xixi come to the opponent's kitchen, shouldn't it be to get information?"

"We won't tell you easily, unless you ask us"

As soon as she entered, the ingredients inside were chattering and noisy.

Ash ignored these voices for the time being, and shook his head at Liu Kun, "You're welcome, you're tired for noon, sit by yourself." I just have a few questions I want to ask you, and although you may not necessarily answer them, I will not be able to calm down if I don't ask. ”

Liu Kun took out a cigarette and asked, "Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?" ”

Ash: "This is your kitchen, and of course I don't have the qualifications to say I mind." ”

Liu Kun lit a cigarette, took a hard breath, and said, "I can probably guess the question that Miss Ai wants to ask, but I can only say that a person will not do such a bastard thing unless he has to do it as a last resort." Since I have left the Ai family, it is impossible to go back, and other families may not dare to use me, and they will definitely continue to work in Wanfu Building. ”

Ash raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Liu Kun to be so smart and straightforward.

She leaned against the wall casually and said, "You can guess eight or nine, but what I want to ask most is why you left the Ai family, and what is that 'last resort'." My grandfather has taken you for so many years, if something happens to your family, will the Ai family not help you? ”

Liu Kun's eyes darkened, and he didn't speak for a long time, but his mouth was even more powerful.

Then he said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I owe someone else's affection and a debt to others, so I have to make this decision." Miss Ai, I've said all I have to say, I really can't tell you much. Let's go, don't come to Wanfulou again, I'm ashamed of your Ai family. ”

Ash was slightly stunned, she felt that maybe Liu Kun really had some trouble.

After a pause, she asked: "Liu Kun, not only did you lose your relationship with the Ai family, but you also probably ruined your future, is it worth it?" ”

Liu Kun slammed it, choked on the smoke, and coughed violently.

Ashden was a little confused, the fog in his eyes was caused by smoke, or by coughing, or by something on his mind.

"Xixi, don't force Liu Kun, it's not easy for him to be embarrassed." The shallots in the vegetable basket suddenly spoke.

Immediately, familiar ingredients such as tomatoes and eggs spoke:

"Yes, he is returning the Li family's life-saving grace, he almost drowned when he was a child, but was saved by Li Lan's sister's father."

"Actually, he was very young at that time, but Brother Kun's father asked him to remember this life-saving kindness since he was a child, so that he could pay it back in the future."

"En'en, Brother Kun didn't actually take the initiative to come, it was Li Lan's father who found out that it was the child he saved when he checked him."

"Moreover, Brother Kun is really miserable, his son is still ......"

"Brother Kun's son still injured Li Lan's younger brother at school and broke his leg, and he was going to tell the school that he would give his son a demerit."

"But the bear children are all in their third year of high school, and they will be admitted to college at the beginning of the year, so it is not good to be punished."

"Xixi, Brother Kun's others are actually quite good, but they are unlucky, and their daughter-in-law has just died......"

"So Xixi, can you forgive him, he has been hiding and not telling the Ai family's most iconic sauce duck!"

……

The ingredients were chattering, completely forgetting that they had said something that would not be told a few minutes ago, giving a huge amount of information.

Ash was a little dumbfounded when she heard this, she thought that Liu Kun would be miserable, but she didn't think that he would be so miserable......

She looked up at Liu Kun for a long time before she said, "Liu Kun, since you don't want to say it, then I won't ask." I don't know if you have told others the recipe for those dishes of cherry meat, if not, just keep it, just when you have been in the Ai family for so many years, I gave you a gift. On the menu of Wanfulou, there is a dish I haven't seen, if you didn't say it on purpose, you still have a little conscience. ”

After a pause, she said again: "I believe you have a hard time, today I will make the decision for my grandfather, and since you have learned that sauce duck, you can also take it out and use it." But there is one point, I suggest that you do not use it in Wanfu Building, and find a reliable new owner. I think you understand that the Ai family can't use you anymore. ”

Liu Kun's hand trembled, the cigarette butt burned out, burning to his fingertips, and was shaken to the ground by this trembling.

"Thank you, thank you Miss Ai, it was my Liu Kun's luck to meet the Ai family." He said with a wry smile.

"So be it, I wish you a bright future." Ash said that he turned around to leave, but suddenly paused again, turned around and asked, "Did Wanfulou do what happened that night?" ”

Liu Kun was silent, then shook his head, "No, it's true." ”

Ash smiled slightly, "Thank you, you don't owe anything to the Ai family anymore." ”

Immediately, she left without nostalgia.

The ingredients behind her were still noisily saying goodbye to her:

"Kind Nozomi, goodbye~ヾ( ̄▽ ̄)"

"Xixi, what Brother Kun said is true, it's a bunch of little hooligans!"

"Xiaoxi, I hope I will be bought to Shiheng Restaurant in my next life, and then meet you~"

"See you later, Miss Hei = ̄ω ̄="

……

Ash had no way to thank and say goodbye to these ingredients, so she could only walk out of Wanfu Building without looking back, she didn't know if her promise to Liu Kun today was correct. But she remembered that in the previous life, Liu Kun did not disclose the secret recipe of the Ai family's sauce duck after he left, and the media said that the Ai family probably passed the secret recipe to herself, or her younger brother Ike. This is also the reason why she refused to return to China in her last life, she always felt that Liu Kun would go back to help the Ai family at that time, because she clearly knew that Liu Kun was the one who held the secret recipe.

But apparently, by the time Ash died, Liu Kun had rotted the secret recipe in his stomach.

Therefore, she just made a preemptive strike and told Liu Kun that he could use it, but she had a faint feeling in her heart that Liu Kun would not use it in other restaurants in the end.

Although there is some moral kidnapping in this way, maybe Liu Kun originally wanted to use it, but when she said this, she didn't dare to use it.

Liu Kun chose her son between her son and her master, and she only chose a restaurant between the chef and Ai's.

Even though Ash comforted herself like this, when she walked out of Wanfu Building, she still felt a little heavy.

"If you're so thoughtful, won't you go to your opponent's house to tear down the stage again?"

Just as she crossed the street, a car pulled up beside her, and the man inside poked out half his head to talk to her.
