Chapter 105: The Most Beautiful Language
He plans to look for her at the vegetarian restaurant tomorrow.
It is said that after Mencius left the apartment, she took a taxi directly to the vegetarian restaurant, which was originally her plan, but because of the incident of Lu Xingchen, she was advanced.
The proprietress of the vegetarian restaurant was a middle-aged woman, kind and enthusiastic, full of kindness, and when she heard that Mencius was coming to learn cooking, not only did not let her retreat, but also helped her introduce the head chef.
The head chef was also a middle-aged man with great affability, and when he heard that Mencius was going to come to worship him as a teacher, he expressed great welcome.
This was not the result Mencius had expected, and she was surprised by this, so she stayed.
The vegetarian restaurant is located in the middle of nowhere, so the staff live in the inn next door, which is very similar to the vegetarian restaurant.
This is not only for the employees to live, but also another business for the proprietress of the vegetarian restaurant.
Because this is a tourist attraction, many tourists will take a temporary rest here after coming, due to the chic decoration in the inn, resulting in word of mouth here has become a special attraction, take pictures, short-term stay abounds.
The inn is very large, the pattern and material are the same as the ancient inn, after entering, it is really easy to make people have the illusion of crossing, the right hand side of the entrance is the wooden front desk, next to it is a wooden staircase, the second floor is surrounded by wooden handrails and railings, forming a hollow ceiling, surrounded by a room, the staff room is opposite the traveler, four people in a room, so it occupies not much room.
However, the number of people was full, and Mencius could only live in a separate room, which made her a little happy to live alone.
The furnishings in the room are modern, a bit bourgeois, the lighting and furniture are warm colors, making people feel warm, comfortable and relaxed.
Mencius packed his luggage, and went to the kitchen to familiarize himself with the environment, it was noon, the kitchen was busy, Mencius was a little embarrassed to go in and disturb, so he walked around the door, and happened to be seen by the head chef, he beckoned to Mencius and motioned for her to go in.
Mencius was a little nervous, which caused her to be a little timid, and the head chef saw it, and in order to relieve her nervousness, he always smiled and introduced her to everything in the kitchen.
Everyone was busy until the afternoon, when everyone ate, and everyone, including the head chef and the proprietress sat around the two tables in the hall for lunch.
When Mencius first arrived, of course, he was timid and angry, and he kept his head buried in eating.
However, almost everyone was very friendly to Mencius, and they all took the initiative to talk to her, and the most common thing was naturally to praise her beauty, including a few male employees.
Although Mencius was not accustomed to this kind of atmosphere, it was her trick to respond with a polite smile.
After everyone went to take a lunch break, Mencius deliberately noticed that the head chef was making tea leisurely there, and she still couldn't help but nervously step forward to greet him, in fact, she had a question to ask.
The head chef sat her down, and the two of them chatted over tea.
Mencius plucked up the courage to speak, "Chef,
I am not satisfied with you and said that I came to learn cooking from you this time, in fact, to learn a dish. ”
The head chef was bold and said directly, "No problem, what kind of dish?" ”
Mencius smiled happily, "It's orchids, dishes made with orchids." ”
The head chef showed an embarrassed expression, "Xiao Meng, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, half a month ago, I didn't cook dishes about orchids." ”
Mencius was suddenly lost and asked in surprise, "Why?" ”
The head chef suddenly became sentimental, "Because the teacher who taught me to make this dish passed away half a month ago, in order to commemorate the teacher, I decided not to cook dishes about orchids in the future!" ”
Mencius lowered his head in a somewhat depressed mood.
The head chef asked her a little hesitantly, "Is there any special reason why you came here to learn this dish?" ”
Mencius nodded slowly, "Because of my grandfather, my grandfather sells orchids and has an orchid garden, but he also passed away half a month ago, and he left his last words to me to take good care of the orchid garden. ”
The head chef cast a praising look at Mencius, "With such a filial granddaughter as you, the old man can also walk with peace of mind." Coincidentally, my teacher also has an orchid garden, which specializes in selling orchids, which is located in Rongcheng Township. ”
"Rongcheng Township!" Mencius said in surprise, "My grandfather is selling orchids in Rongcheng Township, shouldn't I..."
"I take the liberty of asking, what is Xiao Meng's grandfather's name?" The head chef was obviously a little curious as well.
Mencius said his grandfather's name, and the head chef looked incredulous, smiled and smiled, "This world is really too small, I didn't expect you to be the granddaughter of your teacher!" That's what I'm going to teach you too. ”
Mencius felt incredible, but it was unexpected that her grandfather actually knew orchid dishes, and she had never heard her grandfather mention it.
During the day, because of his busyness, Mencius diverted his attention from Lu Xingchen's affairs, and at night, she naturally remembered that she was lying on the bed, and still made her toss and turn and couldn't sleep, partly because of the relationship between the unfamiliar environment and the unfamiliar bed.
She opened the WeChat on her mobile phone, and the three words "Lu Dashen" set by her at the top came into view eye-catchingly, and there was no red prompt number for the message, which made her feel a little lost.
Knowing that there was no information, she still couldn't help but click on it, the voice message deadline was until 2019.12.30, and at 0:00 in the evening, she couldn't help but click on the voice:
"Happy New Year"!
His voice was magnetic, and a few simple words were infused with affection by him, and at the time, she thought it was the most beautiful language in the world.
Actually, it sounds like that too.
Mencius unconsciously listened to it many times, and cried while listening, and fell asleep while crying.
Next.
There is a wedding banquet in the vegetarian restaurant today, and due to the high turnover of the waiters in the restaurant, many of them quit after working for less than a month.
It's not
, Yesterday another one left, resulting in a shortage of manpower, the proprietress temporarily decided to let Mencius help, and the salary was calculated.
Mencius readily agreed, after all, the head chef had promised to teach her how to cook, but when the kitchen was busy, it would probably be afternoon, and Mencius was free the rest of the time.
Mencius learned from the mouth of the proprietress that the original vegetarian restaurant also has the business of helping people to undertake weddings, but it is mainly for newcomers who like to eat vegetarians, but modern people pay attention to health, and the dishes are ingenious, the chicken, duck and fish made of vegetarian dishes are lifelike, and the abalone and cucumber wings are also vivid, therefore, the vegetarian restaurant has held a number of very popular weddings, the most of which are traditional weddings, and today the couple is also.
Not only that, the vegetarian restaurant also provides a professional wedding master of ceremonies for the newlyweds to preside over the wedding for free, and before the wedding, the scene is naturally simply decorated, although it is simple, you can also see the intentions of the proprietress.
For example, from the entrance, a long red carpet is draped in the middle until the ceremony table, the dining tables and chairs on both sides are on the left and right sides, and the tables are all covered with red festive tablecloths.
Because it is a traditional wedding, the proprietress also deliberately asked people to hang red hydrangeas around the handrails on the second floor, so that the atmosphere of the wedding is more enthusiastic.
The scene was quickly arranged, and the vegetarian restaurant was suddenly lit up, and Mencius stood aside and watched, and was also infected by this jubilant scene, which naturally made her think of Lu Xingchen, and her heart was inevitably sour.
As the gun salute rang out outside the vegetarian restaurant, the wedding began.
A couple slowly walked down the red carpet in the laughter of relatives and friends, the groom and the bride were wearing Chinese dresses, the bride was wearing a phoenix crown, and the groom was wearing a robe and a horse coat, and their faces were full of happy smiles.
At this time, Lu Xingchen had already arrived at the door of the vegetarian restaurant, and as soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw this extremely festive scene, but it had nothing to do with him, he didn't stop for a moment, and went directly up to the second floor from the side aisle.
In fact, he had already booked a private room on the second floor last night, the same room that the four of them went to before.
Since just now, Mencius and several other waiters have been busy serving, this dish is almost ready, several other waiters are standing aside to watch, Mencius originally wanted to go to the back kitchen, but he couldn't help but stay curious.
However, she chose a more corner position to stand, coincidentally, this position was diagonally opposite the door of the private room on the second floor of the landing star, and he was standing there at the moment, and saw her very clearly.
It turned out that Lu Xingchen had intended to stand here, he wanted to have a wide field of vision here, if she was in this crowd, he would be able to find her soon, but he didn't expect that he would really find her.
Just when Lu Xingchen looked at Mencius with burning eyes, she suddenly raised her head inadvertently, and her gaze also moved to this side, fortunately, there was a wooden pillar in front of him to cover him, otherwise he would
She found out.
Lu Xingchen is not weak-hearted, it's just that he has another plan, and he doesn't want her to find out that he came to her for the time being.
The wedding has been carried out to the steps of "worshipping the hall", commonly known as "worshipping heaven and earth", at this time, I heard the master of ceremonies presiding over the wedding say loudly, "one worships heaven and earth, two worships the high hall, and the husband and wife worship each other!" ”
During the banquet, everyone shouted loudly, "Send it to the cave room!" ”
The audience laughed and laughed.
Mencius couldn't help but laugh along, but she laughed out of tears, touching the scene, sad tears, in this case, of course she didn't dare to cry loudly, so she could only stretch out her hand, bite the back of her hand, and endure it desperately, and her eyes were red from her.
Lu Xingchen saw her scene clearly, but he saw it in his eyes, the pain was at the tip of his heart, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows were wrinkled into a sinuous crease because of the pain she felt, the distress in his eyes was about to come out, his lips were closed because he couldn't bear it, his steps were a little impatient, and he wanted to run down and hug her into his arms, even if she let her scold him again, it didn't matter.
But Lu Xingchen was still a rational person after all, he stood still and continued to look at her.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds walked off the ceremony stage to toast with relatives and friends, and the period was also very lively.
Mencius felt that the back of his hand was bitten and hurt, so he quickly let go of his mouth, and happened to catch a glimpse of the small shiny diamond ring on his ring finger, which was her wedding ring, she stared at the diamond ring for a while, her mood was complicated, and her tears couldn't help but fall.
Seeing a waitress walking towards her, she quickly turned her back slightly to wipe away her tears.
It turned out that the waitress wanted to ask Mencius to help her serve the dishes of the guests on the second floor, but she was a little unwell and wanted to go back to the inn to rest first.
Mencius knew that the girl had agreed to it.
