Zhao Yu sat at the table, looking at the homework that should be completed today, but the content that he was familiar with by heart suddenly became extremely jerky, and he couldn't read a word.

What should I do after I have decided on my mind? Zhao Yu didn't think about it. He didn't even know why he had a crush on Qiaozhi, it was just a few face-to-face and a few small talks.

Was it because of her déjà vu with herself? That kind of helplessness... Unbearable Freemasonry? But that doesn't seem to be called liking...

Zhao Yu stood up and looked out through the window, trying to suppress the throbbing in his heart. Anyway, the most important thing now is his own examination, he silently looked at his palm, and slowly clenched into a fist, only by gaining fame can he avenge his father and mother... is also eligible to consider these.

In the middle of the night, he put the book on the table and turned to go out.

... ...

Today is the second day of the opening of Yue Lai Restaurant.

Maybe it's because of the farce that happened yesterday, it's already noon, and it's just a few tables scattered around. Because there were no guests, a few little two were idle, got together to chat, chatted and chatted about the current situation of Yuelai Restaurant...

The original second son of Yuelai Restaurant has now been promoted to the management class, which is about the same as the modern 'lobby manager'. Everyone gathered together to listen to the two sons talk about the things before Yuelai Restaurant, and the more they listened, the more worried they became, and the more they listened, the more panicked they became, and in the end, they all got together and whispered to study 'how to get back the shopkeeper's wages if they deducted their wages'.

Pretty Eda sat next to them, grinding her teeth as they listened to their discussions, did these people really think that I wouldn't be able to hear them if they were quiet? It's really... She couldn't help but stand up and join their discussion: "Everyone, don't worry, I won't deduct your wages, besides, now that we have just encountered a little problem, how can we retreat, we must bravely face our fears!" Besides, you ask the second son, although the current situation is more tricky, it is much better than before, right? Isn't it? ”

Noticing Qiaozhi's 'kind' gaze, the second son nodded with humiliation, and said, "The previous situation was much worse than this, but in the end, it was not bitter!" Everyone must believe in the shopkeeper, we Yuelai Restaurant will be able to become bigger and stronger! ”

The bottom Xiao Er couldn't help but nod when he heard the tone of the second son, only the little two who ordered for Zhao Yu last night looked at the second son who was trying to deceive people and asked, "Then how did you come to the bitter end before?" ”

Well... This one... The second son's gaze wandered to the face of Qiaozhi beside him, and muttered: "It's not that I was bought by the shopkeeper, so I came to the bitter end..."

"I see..."Xiao Er suddenly realized, and continued to ask, "So, do we have to wait for someone like the shopkeeper to have a lot of money to come?" ”

？？？ What the heck! Qiaozhi slapped the table, what is the meaning of a lot of money, you obviously want to say that I am the one who is stupid and has a lot of money, right!

She hugged Xiao Er's shoulders heavily, and tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "We Yuelai Inn will definitely not follow in the footsteps of his ancestors!" It will definitely become bigger and stronger! ...”

"Because! We have a few secret dishes in Yuelai Restaurant, which are not available in other homes! Qiaozhi whispered mysteriously, "Second son, go to the back kitchen and bring the dish you bought yesterday." ”

"It's chili." Qiaozhi took the chili pepper in the second son's hand and showed it to a few juniors, "Have you seen it?" Several juniors shook their heads, and Qiaozhi continued, "It seems that this thing has just been transmitted to us, and few people know about it. I've been to several restaurants before, but I haven't used this dish. So, that's our head start. ”

She broke the chili pepper into pieces and gave them to a few juniors to taste, and when she saw their faces wrinkled as expected, she said, "How is it?" Isn't this a novelty? I have a few new dishes that I want to try, and I need to use this little chili. ”

The same Xiao Er from before frowned and said, "But this taste is too rushed... Does anyone in the shopkeeper really like this taste? ”

"Of course." Qiao Zhi waved his hand clearly and made a contemplative gesture, "Do you know that people are born with a psychology called masochism, although this kind of thing tastes dry and tastes rushing, very exciting, but together with other seasonings, it will have a special taste." ”

Seeing that a few little two were still frowning in disbelief, Qiaozhi nodded towards the second son, "This is the same reason as the second son likes to eat green onion dipping sauce, although it smells rushed, but it tastes very refreshing, isn't it, second son?" ”

"But..."

"Chef Fang is trying a new dish over there, and when it's ready, let's try it first and see if it's delicious. If it's delicious, I need you to help me promote it. ”

was brainwashing a few juniors with difficulty, and Qiaozhi suddenly caught a glimpse of an acquaintance at the door.

Zhao Yu stood at the door and beckoned to Qiaozhi, no matter what his mind was, he was still very worried about the situation of the restaurant, and he couldn't read the book, so he simply came to take a look.

"Ah, it's fine." Listening to Zhao Yu's intentions, Qiaozhi smiled, "Brother Bai, who drank with you last night, is going to invite a few mysterious guests to come over, and if you do, all the problems should be solved." ”

Zhao Yu looked at her crooked eyebrows and nodded stunnedly, and suddenly remembered the question she didn't ask yesterday: "Miss Yu, take the liberty of asking, how are you... Know Brother Bai? And why did you suddenly leave Yanling before? ”

"Hmm... This is a bit difficult to explain. Qiaozhi patted Zhao Yu's shoulder, "Ahem, you can understand that I quarreled with my family before, but I reconciled later, so I went home." ”

"Bai Jane is a friend I have known since I was a child, and my family is a world friend. He's very powerful, let him tell you about it another day. ”

"Okay." Feeling the temperature of his shoulder, small flowers rose in Zhao Yu's heart and slowly bloomed.

"Miss Yu, what do you have in your hand?" Zhao Yu suddenly caught a glimpse of the chili pepper in Qiaozhi's hand, and was a little puzzled, "Yes... Chili peppers? ”

"Huh?" Qiao Zhi nodded and spread out his palms, "Zhao Gongzi, you actually know chili peppers?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yu smiled shyly, "Chili peppers have been introduced to China for decades, but because of the taste, even if the price is low, it is difficult to sell, I saw my father take it back when I was a child." He carefully picked up a chili pepper from Qiaozhi's hand and looked at it carefully in front of him, "How could Miss Yu think of buying it?" This thing doesn't even eat pigs... The taste is just too punchy. ”

“... Unfortunately, I love to eat it. "Qiaozhi is angry, it's your fault that you don't eat it, not the chili pepper's fault!

"A friend I know once introduced me to a dish made of chili peppers, and Chef Fang is improving it, and when it is ready, I will ask Zhao Gongzi to try it."

Not long after the words fell, I heard a crackling sound in the back kitchen, followed by a familiar smell. Qiao Zhi narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "It seems that Chef Fang has successfully developed it, let's go, let's go and see!" ”

Lifting the curtain of the back kitchen, Qiaozhi took the lead and walked in. In fact, there is still a difference between the chili peppers here and the chili peppers in the current world, probably because the planting is not promoted, the taste is very choking, she has been choked to the point that she sneezed several times, and several other people are too.

Chef Fang wore a homemade mask, and when he saw Qiaozhi coming in, he gave up his seat: "Shopkeeper, the dish you said is not difficult to make, it's just the taste..." ”

"Hmm." Qiao Zhi didn't take it, but instead took a small bowl and handed it to him, "Chef Fang, you taste it, it's really delicious." However, it should be served with a little rice, so that it is served! ”

"How's that!" Watching Chef Fang frown, he picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, "You're eating some rice, it's really delicious!" ”

Chef Fang added a little more rice as he said.

After closing his eyes and chewing for a long time, he opened his eyes and said in amazement: "It's delicious!" Shopkeeper, where did your friend learn this recipe? It's delicious! As he spoke, he scooped up a little more soup and poured it over the rice, "I never knew chili peppers could be so delicious!" Shopkeeper, what's this dish called? ”

Qiao Zhi was handing out small bowls to a few people, and when she heard Chef Fang's words, she smiled: "This dish is a delicacy from my friend's hometown, called boiled fish." ”

Looking at a few pieces of fish and shiny bean sprouts in his bowl, Qiao Zhi quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, in order to maintain his figure, he didn't even dare to touch this kind of high-fat and high-fat thing; I finally crossed over, and I haven't seen a dish fried with chili, I thought that I would have no chance with spicy dishes in this life, but I didn't expect to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, that day she and Bai Jian went out to inspect the surrounding environment, and actually found chili peppers in a remote stall, and there were a lot.

According to the owner, he was fooled into a bunch of chili peppers by an unscrupulous vegetable vendor, and he thought it was a novelty, but he didn't expect it to be sold at all. She saw that the peppers were still fresh, so she asked the shopkeeper to pack them all for her. The shopkeeper almost cried when he heard this, and hurriedly wrapped these chili peppers, stuffed them into Qiaozhi's arms, and stuffed the money and silver into the money box without looking at it, as if he was afraid that Qiaozhi would regret it.

However, the dynasties in which the real peppers were introduced in history should be around the Ming Dynasty, and they were popularized and planted in a large area as soon as they were introduced. It's been around for decades, but it still hasn't been promoted, and it's a bit strange that even chefs who specialize in cooking don't know about chili.

Qiaozhi remembered that when she first came to this world, she had asked the young man at the pawnshop who the current dynasty and the current emperor were, but the young man said two names she had never heard of...

At that time, she thought that she had traveled to a strange but similar world, but later she found that this world was following the history of the world she was in before, for example, there were Li Bai, Du Fu, the Four Books and the Five Classics, the Zhongyong University, and even the dynasties in which these famous books were located.

It seems that the era she is living in now is drowned in the torrent of time.

It's okay to suck your nose and taste the long-lost taste little by little, not in the wheel of history, you can indulge a little, at least you don't have to worry about causing a butterfly effect, and strangle yourself in the cradle that has not been born for several years.

Speaking of which, she is actually a staunch materialist, and she doesn't believe in ghosts and gods the most, after all, she has experienced so many things when she was a child, made so many wishes, and has not seen any great god who has time to realize it for her.

As Daoist Li Wusheng said, maybe all living beings have their due fate.
