Niu Xingang was busy working there, and Song Wumei sat on the wooden chair next to her to rest. Looking at the other party's strong back, she inexplicably felt very relieved.

I didn't expect Chef Niu to be a very good person, and he was a friend who could be made deeply. Song Wumei, who was holding a teacup, thought to herself.

"Fifth sister! A group of guests just came and ordered a table of dishes. This is the list, you have worked hard. Xia Zhizhu got the list and came to the kitchen.

"Okay, let's do it as soon as possible." The fifth sister put down the teacup in her hand and began to work.

Niu Xingang chopped the pork bones and put them on the plate, he took the list and looked at it, and said softly: "I'll also help too." ”

The two of them were busy in the kitchen, and plates of delicious food were brought out of the kitchen of a tavern.

After a busy day, Song Wumei and Niu Xingang could take a break.

But Wang Xiaoer took over the work of the Qiong Jelly Jade Terrace, and now he is busier than the two of them, and he has no time to buy ingredients.

"Why don't I go, I just happened to know the way." Niu Xingang happily took over Wang Xiaoer's procurement work.

"I'm with you, you just came here and didn't know anything. With me, you can avoid detours. Hearing that Niu Xingang was going to buy, Song Wumei hurriedly wanted to go with him.

Jinse was happy to see that the two cooks were on good terms, and she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead!" We can do everything in the store. ”

Niu Xingang and Song Wumei came out of a tavern together, Niu Xingang drove the carriage, and the fifth sister sat in the carriage.

The two of them went to the shopping place together, and this was the first time that the two of them went grocery shopping together.

On the way to the vegetable market, the fifth sister showed Niu Xingang the way: "Brother Niu, this is the street!" The dishes here are the freshest in recent times. ”

"Okay, then I'll park the carriage here, and we'll walk over." Niu Xingang's skilled parking.

The fifth sister took down a vegetable basket from the carriage, and Niu Xingang took it from her hand: "I'll take it!" What vegetables to buy, you tell me. ”

So the two of them began to pick up in the vegetable field.

Niu Xingang is worthy of being a former imperial chef, the dishes he chooses are fresh and good, and the fifth sister is responsible for counter-offering. The two of them worked together and quickly finished all the dishes they needed to buy.

Putting the basket full of vegetables on the carriage, Niu Xingang's forehead was already covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Seeing this, Song Wumei took out her handkerchief, hesitated for a while, and still handed the handkerchief to Niu Xingang. He lowered his head and said shyly, "Brother Niu, you wipe your sweat." ”

Originally, Niu Xingang was ready to wipe the sweat with his sleeve at will, but he didn't pay attention to these things as a man.

The fifth sister cares about him, and he is still very happy. A mouthful of white teeth appeared on the malted face: "Thank you, Fifth Sister, I just need it." ”

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, carefully folded the handkerchief, and handed it to Song Wumei.

"Fifth sister, you take it."

Taking the handkerchief, the fifth sister nodded her head, turned around and got into the carriage: "Let's go back quickly, the shopkeeper should be in a hurry." ”

Neither of the cooks was in Jinse, and they were destined to wait hungry.

If you want to say who is the most important in a tavern, it is not the shopkeeper Zhuang Jinse, nor the buddies Qian Bao and Xia Zhizhu. It's the two cooks, Niu Xingang and Song Wumei, plus one Wang Xiaoer, who is in charge of drinking.

It is thanks to them that the menu of a tavern can be guaranteed.

As the most important person in a tavern, Jinse is also very tolerant of them, as long as the store is not busy, they can rest at will.

Seeing that the relationship between Niu Xingang and Song Wumei is getting better and better, Jin Se is also happy for them. I believe that soon they will get married and give Aunt Niu a big grandson.

"I think everyone has been busy a lot recently, so I'll give you a holiday tomorrow. You should go out to eat, drink, and have a good time. Because Jinse earned a lot of money due to the launch of Kumquat Lemon, she saw that everyone was very tired these days, so she simply gave everyone a holiday.

Hearing the holiday, Qian Bao was the first to cheer: "Great, you can go and play with your brother!" ”

"Isn't your brother taking an exam?" Jinse asked.

"It's time to finish the exam, go to the White Crane Academy to find him, and ask him to take me to Huguo Temple." Jinse was excited.

Jin Se put his arm around Qian Bao's shoulder: "Xiaobao, don't tell you brother first." In a few days, I will also go to Huguo Temple, and then we will go together. Qian Bao didn't know why: "Shopkeeper, why are you going to Huguo Temple?" ”

"Don't ask so much, if it's a brother, just help!" Jin Se wanted to bring the jade smoke out to meet Qian Chengle. I had to see something better, and she definitely wouldn't continue to miss that Gu Fan.

"Okay, I know." Qian Bao still agreed.

I don't know what the shopkeeper is up to, but she always has a weird idea, and it's good to listen to it anyway. Qian Bao thought to himself.

can have a holiday, Niu Xingang and Song Wumei are also very happy, the two of them glanced at each other and smiled.

"Fifth sister, tomorrow is a holiday, do you like to watch dramas? How about I take you to the troupe to watch the play? Niu Xingang boldly extended an invitation. His age is not young, and when he was originally in the palace, the palace maids looked down on the cooks in the imperial dining room.

After so many years, I haven't found a girl I like. His mother wanted to make a pair of him and the shopkeeper, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the shopkeeper liked Zhou Zhukuai. He didn't want to intervene.

Now there is a fresh and lovely fifth sister, although she is not as fair-skinned as ordinary girls, but her big eyes seem to be able to speak.

Niu Xingang had already identified Song Wumei in his heart, and when he was busy with this time, he asked the shopkeeper for leave, took his mother over, and asked her to propose to the fifth sister's family.

When the fifth sister heard Niu Xingang invite her to go to the play, her face was slightly red and she nodded gently: "Okay, I like to watch the play." ”

"Then we'll see you outside the tavern tomorrow." Niu Xingang bought a room in his early years when he was working hard in Dijing City, and now he lives there.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Song Wumei should go down.

On the second day, Niu Xingang waited outside the gate of a tavern early, although he was not handsome, he was tall and mighty.

He bought himself a new set of clothes, just to make a good impression on his fifth sister.

After waiting for a while, the fifth sister came over. Today, she has also been carefully dressed, she didn't care much about dressing up in the past, but today she rarely wiped her rouge and used lipstick.

She works in the kitchen all the year round, facing firewood, rice, oil, salt, and being roasted by smoky fire, and she really can't care about her image.

But in order to listen to the drama with Niu Xingang, she is willing to take a good look at herself.

Seeing the fifth sister who can't be seen on weekdays, Niu Xingang smiled, and the love in his heart couldn't be hidden at all.

"Wait, let's go." The fifth sister chuckled and apologized to Niu Xingang.

"No, I'll only be there for a while." Niu Xingang said with a smile.

Niu Xingang and the fifth sister walked side by side on the way to the theater. There are many carriages on this road, and he stands on the outside intimately, so that the fifth sister can walk inside.

In the theater, Niu Xingang didn't pay much attention to what kind of drama was singing on stage today, and he looked at the fifth sister from time to time. Seeing that the fifth sister was smiling happily, he was also happy.

I believe that it won't be long before he can marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to a big fat boy. One is not enough to add a sister, a man and a woman are good.

It's really a thing that makes people happy just thinking about it, Niu Xingang is silly there while thinking about it.

"Brother Niu, what are you laughing at? The play is over, let's go. The fifth sister suddenly interrupted his train of thought.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking, what are we going to eat in a while." Niu Xingang embarrassedly answered the fifth sister's question.

Now the fifth sister has only known him for a short time, and she can't be in a hurry now. Everything has to be done slowly.

Out of the theater, Niu Xingang and Song Wumei were going to find a good restaurant to have a simple lunch.

They are all cooks, and the requirements for food are still a bit high, no matter the size of the store, the taste must be good.

The weather is nice today and there are not many pedestrians on the street.

It seems that the sun is shining on the sky, but there are also places where the sun does not shine.

In the distance, a man walked by, he looked down and couldn't see his face clearly, his body was thin and seemed to be malnourished. With one of his hands behind his back, he walked straight towards Niu Xingang.

When the dagger suddenly appeared, Niu Xingang's head didn't really think much about it, his first reaction was to protect the fifth sister and let her not get hurt.

That's what he thinks, and that's what he does.

Niu Xingang is just a cook, he has no martial arts and no weapons on his body, he can only block the opponent's attack with his hands.

The dagger glittered with cold light slashed across his palm, and blood poured out of his palm, filling his body with sharp pain.

But he didn't dare to retreat, because the fifth sister was behind him. The other party is coming for the fifth sister!

When that failed, the emaciated assassin was ready to attack again.

"Someone! Help me! The fifth sister saw the blood flowing from Niu Xingang's hands, and she shouted loudly with tears in her eyes. Hope to get help from passers-by.

When the assassin heard the fifth sister shouting, he kicked Niu Xingang's body, turned around and ran, and it was too late to chase after him.

"Brother Niu, how are you? I'll take you to the doctor. The anxious fifth sister used a handkerchief to stop Niu Xingang's bleeding.

In order to prevent Niu Xingang from falling, the fifth sister helped him to support him

Niu Xingang lost more blood than he could see.

A few well-wishers came over on the side of the road to help Song Wumei talk about Niu Xingang and sent it to the hospital.

The doctor bandaged Niu Xingang's wound to stop bleeding: "Fortunately, the treatment was timely." The bleeding has stopped in time, and I will go back to recuperate for a few days. Remember not to get water on the wound. "The doctor in the medical hall prescribed some medicine to Niu Xingang and asked him to remember to change it when he went back.

Coming out of the hospital, the fifth sister had a feeling of being reborn after the catastrophe.

Fortunately, Brother Niu was only scratched and did not hurt his life. Otherwise, I would never have been able to feel at ease for the rest of my life. But when I first came to Dijing City, I didn't have a grudge against anyone, who wanted to kill me? Song Wumei was very puzzled.

For fear of another accident, Niu Xingang sent the fifth sister back to Zhuangfu, and Jin Se saw that Niu Xingang injured his hand. A cook hurts his hand, which is equivalent to a soldier without a knife, how to kill the enemy, and how to cook.

Her face sank, and she whispered, "Who did it!" ”
