Sun Chen and Ning Xin stayed in the heyday.

Their main daily work is to give Xing Lu a hand, and it was at this time that Sun Chen learned that Xing Lu's specialty dish was the braised sea cucumber with green onions, which is known as one of the four treasures of Qibang cuisine.

Although the main ingredients of this dish are only sea cucumber and green onions, every housewife in the coastal area will burn them, but it is a great test of cooking skills, and it is a delicious dish in the world when it is done, and it is just a dish that is not very satisfying if it is not done well.

Sea cucumber sand is fishy, the most difficult to please, it is not easy to cover up its fishy smell when it is fired with clear soup, only by adding cooking wine, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, rock sugar, and stir-frying in soup with lard, and then cover the pot and simmer until the juice is collected, and then add the green onion section that was fried before, and bury it in the dilute after stir-frying, so as to show its fresh and fragrant smoothness.

Not only the grasp of the amount of ingredients must be extremely accurate, but also the heat must be exactly divided. The slightest difference can make it taste so bad.

The ingredients are top-notch, and the price is naturally top-notch, a wild sea cucumber that weighs about 20 grams before soaking and is seven or eight years old, the selling price after it is done is 1,288 yuan, and what Xing Lu can get is 10% of the selling price, that is, 128 yuan and 8 cents, and at the end of the day, at least more than 20 pieces should be made.

And because sea cucumbers need to be in pure water from one to ten degrees, change the water every eight hours, and then soak continuously for 24 hours, and then after a series of treatments, they can be fired, and the whole process takes up to five or six days, so the number of sea cucumbers roasted with green onions every day is fixed or pre-booked, and they can be completed early every day.

There is a lot of leisure time, Sun Chen and Ning Xin are of course unwilling to waste every day, wandering around the big kitchen, chatting and farting with other chefs, and stealing the master by the way has become the norm.

Although Sun Chen and Ning Xin's mouths are not very sweet, they are hard-working, and they are very discerning, and they take the initiative to do it without others opening their mouths when they have work to do, and they quickly won everyone's favor, and they turned a blind eye to their stealing behavior.

Ning Guotong never appeared, and Ning Xin gradually put aside her worries and devoted herself to work.

……

On this day, Sun Chen and Ning Xin, as usual, came to the big kitchen to change the water of the sea cucumbers that were soaking, and they heard someone calling them.

"Ning Xin, someone just came to you and said that I had something to talk to you about, and I gave her your phone number."

"Oh, got it, thank you Brother Yu." Ning Xin thought that she was a colleague who was interning with Juewei Pot, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Just after changing the water, the two were about to leave when Ning Xin's phone rang.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

“……”

"I am, who are you?"

“……”

"I'm sorry, I don't know you, and I don't think we need to meet." Not knowing what the other party said, Ning Xin's brows furrowed.

“……”

"You! Let me tell you, my coming to Dingshengju has nothing to do with my mother, even if you tell her, I am not afraid, and you don't threaten me with this matter! ”

“……”

"Okay, where?"

The other party said a place, Ning Xin nodded, "I'll be there in half an hour." ”

Putting away the phone, Ning Xin met Sun Chen's concerned eyes.

"The woman is looking for me."

Sun Chen knew that the only person who could be called like this was her father's current wife, Han Lili.

"I'll go with you."

"Hmm."

……

The two of them arrived at the agreed café, and when they entered the door, they saw a woman with exquisite makeup and a graceful and luxurious brand, looking down at her watch impatiently, obviously she was Ning Guotong's current wife - Han Lili.

The affluent material life gave this woman more energy to maintain, and compared to Qi Meijuan's premature aging face because of the burden of life, she looked more than ten years younger. However, Sun Chen knew that the age difference between Han Lili and Qi Meijuan was at most five years.

Walking in front of her, Ning Xin sat on the chair opposite her, and Sun Chen did the same and sat next to her.

"You're late." Han Lili raised her eyes and looked at Ning Xin, and did not speak.

"Oh? Is it? Ning Xin raised her eyebrows and asked the waiter who came over for two glasses of white water, and then replied, "I'm sorry, I did it on purpose." ”

Although this is a bit naïve and rude, she just wants to be so unscrupulous, although she has never seen this woman, but when they met for the first time today, she disgusted herself as expected.

Han Lili was obviously angry, and her voice became even colder, "Is this how Qi Meijuan taught you?" ”

"Heh," Ning Xin snorted coldly, "how does my mother teach me, what does it have to do with you?" ”

"You!" Han Lili was angry and seemed to want to have a seizure, but she didn't know what was going on, she tried to suppress her anger again, and her tone softened, "Xinxin, although it is the first time we have met, there is really no need to speak ill of each other like this, after all, no matter what, we are all a family." ”

"Family? It's just my mom and me in the house, oh, and there's a pug named Blackskin, who are you, auntie? ”

It was the first time for Sun Chen to see Ning Xin's rude appearance, and he couldn't help but feel funny, and he held up his cheeks and watched the play.

"Leave the Peak Residence and don't show up again." Han Lili directly said the request.

"I can stay as long as I want, you can't control it."

"Ten years ago, you took the initiative to leave with Qi Meijuan, what do you mean by coming back now?"

"What do you mean you care about me?"

"Don't you just want money? While I'm soft-hearted now, you can make a price! ”

"Soft-hearted?" Ning Xin seemed to have heard a particularly funny joke, "Hehe, Ms. Han, I really can't feel this kind of emotion in you." ”

"Don't toast or eat!"

"Heh, whether it's a toast or a punishment, as long as it's given by you Han Lili, what's the difference?!"

Huairou policy is not easy to use, Han Lili simply put aside the appearance of gentleness, frowned and said viciously to Ning Xin: "Don't think that you can get any benefits when you come to Dingshengju, tell you, don't be delusional, everything in Dingshengju, even all the net worth of your father Ning Guotong, will be left to my son, your half-brother Ning Zetao, don't want to get a dime!" ”

As if she was still puzzled, Han Lili continued: "I don't think Qi Meijuan has a good life with you, otherwise how did you develop such a poor and sour appearance?" ”

Her disdainful gaze, like an X-ray, swept up and down Ning Xin's body, and saw Ning Xin's washed white jeans and sweatshirt, as well as the sneakers on her feet that were already frayed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked.

"It's that I haven't had a good life~" Ning Xin didn't refute her words, anyway, it's also true, isn't it!

"Because I was busy raising my family, my mother didn't teach me how to climb into the bed of a married man to show up on my own initiative, didn't teach me how to destroy other people's families, and didn't teach me how to bark in front of people as a mad dog!"

"You!" Han Lili was choked by Ning Xin's words. Although she never thought that she was ashamed of being in the position through such means, she still couldn't accept being said to her face by Ning Xin, a junior she was tired of, like this. Especially after Ning Xin's words fell, the eyes of the people around her, how she looked at it and felt that it was all ridicule.

She suddenly regretted that in order to embarrass Ning Xin fiercely, she didn't choose a private room with a strong secret.

"You'd better keep your teeth like this forever!" Han Lili gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to tear Ning Xin apart.

"At least until you are squeezed out of the throne of the Ning family by your peers, I will try my best to maintain this merit." Looking at Han Lili's almost crazy appearance, Ning Xin said with a smile.

She suddenly realized that no wonder some people like to quarrel with others so much, if they win the quarrel and make the other party half angry, what a happy thing!

Han Lili's face turned red with anger. In the depths of her heart, she was very afraid that there would be latecomers who would use the same methods as Ning Guotong back then. It's not that she loves Ning Guotong much, but she can't bear the scenery of Mrs. Ning's family, and she can't bear the privileged life she enjoys now.

And Ning Guotong's heart is not in herself, no one knows better than her, the past ten years ago, it is not impossible to happen again. What she is most afraid of is that Ning Guotong will leave herself behind and renew her relationship with Qi Meijuan.

So after she gave birth to her son, she would find a way to join the old lady in the family to help and force Qi Meijuan away, because she had already seen through Ning Guotong's personality, if it weren't for Qi Meijuan's determination to divorce him, he really took advantage of himself, and he was sent away with tens of thousands of yuan at most.

Han Lili couldn't bargain for money, and was humiliated by Sun Chen and Ning Xin together, and as soon as her brain was hot, she wanted to pick up the coffee at hand and want to splash it on Ning Xin's body. Unexpectedly, when she grabbed the coffee cup and wanted to splash it on the opposite side, her wrist was suddenly grabbed fiercely.

"Mrs. Ning, don't waste coffee like this, it's easy to get angry when you're old, you better drink it and dry it!"

It's Sun Chen.

Although he came over today to watch the show all the time, it doesn't mean that he allows the other party to successfully attack his girlfriend under his nose.

"Ah Chen, what you said is not right, if you want to say that it is dry, you have to drink chrysanthemum tea~ The more you drink coffee, the more angry you get~" Ning Xin sang and harmonized with him, and Han Lili's nose was crooked. "But for a person like Mrs. Ning, how much chrysanthemum tea to drink is in vain, and it is a luxury to do too much to do too much, and to be calm!"

"Young man, I advise you not to just try to be happy on your lips, no matter what you do, think carefully about whether the consequences are something you can afford! You can make a price for as much money as you want, on the condition that you must leave Ning Xin! ”

This sentence was said by Han Lili to Sun Chen, in her opinion, Sun Chen has not married Ning Xin, and she can choose the path that is most beneficial to her.

Ning Guotong has been looking for Qi Meijuan's mother and daughter, and she has always known it. He hasn't been able to find it for so many years, and she also has a share of the credit. If it weren't for that, her private money would have at least doubled.

Despite this, when she didn't know, Ning Guotong still found them, and kept it from her home to protect them very well, if she hadn't sent someone to monitor Ning Guotong all the time, she wouldn't have found a clue!

"Oh? I don't know what price Mrs. Ning can accept? Sun Chen gave Ning Xin a look, and then looked at Han Lili with a smile.

"How much do you want?" Han Lili looked wary, seeing that Sun Chen only looked at herself silently, and said in pain, "You will be given 200,000 at most." ”

"Two hundred thousand? Seems like a little less, right? Sun Chen pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "As far as I know, only this one store has more than this daily profit, right?" It seems that Mrs. Ning wants someone to do things this time, and her sincerity is insufficient! ”

Han Lili snorted coldly, "Young man, I advise you not to be too greedy, and accept it when you see it, so that you can live a long time." ”

Han Lili really wasn't joking, because at this moment she had already begun to estimate in her heart how much it would cost her to destroy Sun Chen.

"Auntie, you didn't accept it when you didn't see it well, don't you get more benefits now? Why can't you get to me? Sun Chen scoffed.

"You, you ......"

The dirty things she did back then were repeatedly mentioned, and it was Ning Xin and Sun Chen, poor boys who didn't know each other, who she hated, no matter how much Han Lili wanted to maintain her demeanor, she was so angry that her face was distorted.

Just as he was about to put down a few more cruel words to make Sun Chen retreat, he heard a low and unhappy voice behind him.

"What are you doing here?!"

Han Lili trembled with fright, although she was also a tyrant in the Ning family, saying that the wind is the rain, but in front of Ning Guotong, the nominal husband, Han Lili just wanted to shrink into a transparent person.

Because he not only won't speak softly to himself, but he will also impose economic sanctions on himself when he is angry, which makes Han Lili, who is used to profligacy, particularly afraid.

Although she has also secretly hidden some private money over the years, compared to what she can get from Ning Guotong, it has always been small money.

also has her own son, he will inherit the property of the Ning family in the future, and he will have to rely on Ning Guotong in the future, so she can't hold her son back.

"Guo, Brother Guotong, why are you here? I'm ...... This is ......" Han Lili was almost speechless, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Knowing that Xinxin came to work in our prosperous residence, I will catch up with her!" ”

"Reminiscing?" Ning Xin snorted coldly, "Mrs. Ning's old method is really novel!" But I'm disappointed for you, I wish I wouldn't see you for the rest of my life, because I really hate you! ”

"Brother Guotong, look at her!" Han Lili didn't speak as badly as she did just now, but instead announced to Ning Guo.

Ning Guotong looked at his daughter with apologetic eyes as if he hadn't heard her words, "Scared, right?" She doesn't care what she says, she can do whatever you want. ”

"Is it really okay to do whatever you want?" Ning Xin looked innocent.

"What if I said I wanted to splash this glass of water on your wife?!"

After saying this, before everyone could react, Ning Xin's glass of water had already been shot, and Han Lili was suddenly splashed with cold and screamed in horror.
