Chapter 463: Quite thoughtful
The sincerity of what he said was not hidden at all, Tang Meng and Xing'er also smiled warmly without a little joke, Tang Meng suddenly said, "Everything is fine in the courtyard here, but if I separate you from Xiaopei, I don't know if you are willing?" ”
Huzi was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand what Tang Meng meant for a while, Xiao Tao jumped out with a smile and explained, "Niangniang saw that you have been working hard and trustworthy recently, so I plan to send you directly to the back kitchen of Huamanlou to help take charge of the secret recipe, you are about to achieve your wish!" ”
Huzi immediately looked at Tang Meng with a relaxed eyebrow, "This is true, Huzi thank Niangniang for your trust," After speaking, he was about to kneel down and kowtow, Tang Meng hurriedly asked Xiao Tao to stop him, "You kid has only been seen for a few days, and I am afraid that I have forgotten the habit of not kowtowing to my mother." ”
Xiao Tao said while laughing and helped people up, "From now on, you will no longer be the house slave of Yiwangfu, but the most trustworthy person in Huamanlou, and you will be Niangniang's right-hand man!" ”
Although Huzi has been preparing to go to Huamanlou, but when it really came to this day, his eyes were sour with excitement, Xiao Tao said well, but the significance of this matter is more than this for Huzi, Tang Meng's trust in him is an honor, and Tang Meng's good intentions are what he should be most grateful for.
As for their group of children, there is no place to go and no understanding of everyone's temperament for the time being, Tang Meng naturally prefers to put people in the backyard of the palace to do some chores to experience and experience, but Tang Meng never ignores them, but strives to find the shining point in everyone, once there is a chance Tang Meng wants to give these children a serious errand to do, which is the ability to make a living in the palace.
Even Tang Meng, a weak woman like Xiaopei, took care of her in every way, not only kept her by his side to avoid many bullying from others, but also taught her to read and write, these all kinds of tigers saw in his heart, and he thanked Tang Meng with red eyes, "Huzi will definitely regard Niangniang's secret recipe as his life, Huzi is in the secret recipe, and if the secret recipe is spread to Huzi, he will apologize for his sin!" ”
Unexpectedly, this time it was Tang Meng who came to help him up, "The secret recipe is important, but it is not higher than life." ”
Huzi was shocked when he heard this, even Duan Jingyi, who was reading a book in the inner room, looked sideways from the book, he looked at Tang Meng's thin back, and only listened to this beautiful voice and continued, "Of course, I hope that the people around me are all loyal, but if it really comes to life and death, I don't want you to lose your life in order to protect the secret recipe." ”
Seeing that Huzi didn't understand, Tang Meng explained, "Since ancient times, there have been countless unscrupulous people who have tried to compete for fame and fortune, especially when something new comes out and is widely acclaimed, naturally there will be people who are red-eyed and eager to know the secret of ingenuity inside, which will also give rise to many unsavory tricks, you are still young, and I am reluctant to let you go to Huamanlou for a long time, which also contains this reason." ”
Huzi was smart, and immediately understood the meaning of Tang Meng's words, and his little face became serious, "What Niangniang said is that our business in the building is so good that it will inevitably squeeze the profits of the restaurant next to it, and now there is the prestige of the prince for a while, and after a long time, this prestige will become the biggest murder weapon." ”
Tang Meng was amazed by these words, Huzi was really as careful as silk, a little bit of penetration, to put it bluntly, now because Huamanlou has just opened, it is still the property of the two princes, so there will be no problems for a while, but after a long time, after this limelight has passed, if Huamanlou is still the first in the restaurant, then someone will have crooked thoughts.
And eighty percent is to start with the kitchen and the secret recipe, the loss of the secret recipe is small, if people eat cereals and grains for the guests to eat a good bad is a sin, then the prestige of the Yi Wangfu and the Chengwang Mansion not only can not save themselves, but may also be involved in the adverse events of the restaurant and damage their own image.
This is also the reason why Tang Meng told Huzi that his life is more important than the secret recipe, firstly, he is afraid that Huzi is really stupid, if he is taken away, he would rather die than tell the real secret recipe, and on the other hand, he is afraid that this kind of peer will unscrupulously compete for the secret recipe.
When Tang Meng gave the secret recipe to Xiao Tao before, he only gave her the right to know, after all, it was a temporary entrustment, as long as Xiao Tao didn't make any trouble, but this time it was different for Huzi, Tang Meng was exactly the one who entrusted the back kitchen of Hua Manlou to him, and also gave him the right to choose the secret recipe, and when necessary, he must give up the recipe in exchange for his life.
Huzi has this calmness and wisdom beyond his own age, although this matter is difficult to hand over to him, it is a rare opportunity to practice, looking at Huzi Tang Meng, who has a resolute expression, said softly, "The burden on this shoulder is heavy, I can't find a competent helper for you for a while, you can pick one of the people in this palace." ”
Huzi lowered his head and sank, Xing'er subconsciously hugged Xiao Pei's shoulders when he was silent, if he really wanted Huzi to choose someone, everyone would think that he must take this little girl away, but he didn't expect Huzi to raise his head and say steadily after a while.
"Huzi first went to the back kitchen of Huamanlou, it was not convincing at a young age, if I brought an adult to it, it would make people feel that I was not capable enough and needed someone to help me, some things will definitely make people feel that the fox is fake and tiger, if you take a young person to go, I am afraid that it will be in vain to be looked down upon by others, and it will also arouse people's suspicion that it is an exclusive plan to become a faction, so I just go by myself, so that I may be able to integrate into it more quickly."
Tang Meng nodded and praised, Huzi did not disappoint her, but Huzi did not finish speaking, and continued to open his mouth in the second half, "But I have a request to ask Niang Niang to agree." ”
"You say."
"Although there is a backyard in the Huamanlou for everyone to stay, can I go back to the palace every night?" Huzi was afraid that Tang Meng would misunderstand and hurriedly explained, "I don't live in the yard before, I will definitely come back later in the future, and it's not good to disturb others, you just need to give me a certain bed in the gatehouse, Uncle Ge is late to watch the door and rest, and I won't disturb his rest." ”
Tang Meng suddenly smiled after hearing this, "You kid is really a good hand at breaking through, no wonder so many children have never been hungry with you before, I really underestimated you before," Tang Meng's praise made others confused, only Huzi scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"My mind was seen through by the mother at a glance, and I always thought more about the hardships in the past," Huzi smiled honestly, Tang Meng liked this child's temperament that was not deliberately hidden.
