Chapter 49: Self-reliance

"You're still talking to him! We're running out of places to stay! No, I can't swallow that! (I'm a dignified young master, and I was stolen by a child, where will I put my face when this is spread?) Even if I searched the whole town, I was going to find that little broken child! Teach him a good lesson, and then get our tips back! You just wait here first, and I'll find the bag and come back!"

He said angrily as he rushed into the rain. I didn't expect him to rush out directly, this means to find it? With such heavy rain, where did he run to find that child? And those five copper plates on my body are still with him!

He also knew that I only had this capital on me, and that I couldn't take out any amount of money in my storage bracelet! In that case, that's all my capital! He ran away, so what should I do? Even if he says he's coming back, well, it's not very reliable!

Also, I wasn't discovered by him, my ultimate goal is to take him back! Either way, I'd better get him back!

But I narrowed my eyes and looked at the crowd next to me who were also crowded under the shop to take shelter from the rain, and I couldn't use my abilities directly! I moved my hand lightly, just putting a water shield on the small fire. "Xiaohuo, are you here to lead the way, looking for the smell of Senior Brother Ci?" "Well, the rain has diluted a lot, but the approximate location is still known!"

"Then let's go!" Then, looking at the heavy rain in front of us, Xiaohuo and I rushed straight out.

"Senior Brother Ci~, Senior Brother Ci~" I shouted on the street, of course, I used a special audio wave (that is, the secret art is transmitted, and it can only be heard by designated people. Xiaohuo led the way in front of me, and just now he stayed with us, and Xiaohuo also remembered his taste, so Xiaohuo just went to find it.

We searched for a few streets, and I was also drenched in the rain for a long time (however, I am a water attribute, and I don't feel much in the rain, but the feeling of wetting is not good, and I can't use my ability, and it is a little obstructive. Because of this rainfall, the temperature dropped rapidly.

When I came out, I saw such a big sun, but I was a little thinly dressed. At this temperature, although the rain has no effect on me, the temperature has a big impact on me. I'm shivering in the street!

But running in the rain made me feel like I was sweating, which were two different feelings. Alas! It's not very pleasant anyway!

When the fire stopped, I saw Senior Brother Ci on the corner of the street, who was drenched in soup, and he looked obviously very depressed. But I don't care if I'm not depressed now, anyway, when I see him, my anger comes up all of a sudden.

I ran to him in three steps and two steps, "Senior Brother Ci, you don't want to leave me there alone!" It's such a big town, you don't know where that kid is, and it's raining so heavily. It's windy and rainy outside, do you know it's dangerous? You're a few years older than me, why are you so impulsive!"

He leaned against the wall next to him helplessly, "Little fat man, I can't swallow that breath either!" It was stolen by an ordinary child! Now that I've fallen into such a situation, I'm really embarrassed by the face of the Han family! (Although he is not pampered, he is also a young master of a clan, and he also loves face!)

"What? That's what you're for! Really, there is no place to sleep now, so we have to find a way! What kind of facelessness, the way you look now, is it possible that someone still knows your identity? No matter how embarrassed you are, it has nothing to do with your face!"

I squinted through the rain curtain and looked around, and found a pastry shop with a store opposite, and it seemed that business was quite good now. The people around were trapped in the nearby shop, they couldn't go home, and now it was time for dinner.

This is the only one on these two streets, and many people buy noodles here, and inside the shop, those people are obviously too busy. Some others came out with disappointed expressions, and it seemed that the noodles inside should be almost sold.

There's a way! I looked at Senior Brother Ci again, "By the way, what about my five copper coins?" He took out the five copper coins, and I took them, and then pulled him up, and first hid in a small alley, and used a water trick to clean all of us, at least not the appearance of a chicken in soup!

He was also happy to see that his body had become clean. "Senior Brother Ci, let's go to the noodle shop opposite!" Little fat man, are we going to buy steamed buns to eat? (He'd been looking for the kid for so long, and of course he was hungry.) )”

I stuck my tongue out at him, "Of course not!" I'm using these five copper coins, but they're of great use. If you don't want to eat just steamed buns, then follow in my footsteps!"

As I spoke, I strode towards the pastry shop opposite. Senior Brother Ci also followed in my footsteps. (The small fire is also on my shoulder.) It's just that I felt a little dizzy during this short journey, but I didn't think much of it at the time.

Because the two of us had only been in the rain for a short time, the two children still looked pretty clean. The two of us quickly entered the pastry shop. A plainly dressed big brother saw someone coming to the store, and he quickly greeted him, "Two little friends, what do you need?" ”

I also approached the big brother with a smile: "We're not here to buy pastry, we're here to make pastry." It's raining now, and there are a lot of people stranded in the nearby shops. And there is only one of you around to shop for noodles, and your noodles are definitely in short supply now! Do you need a small job? ”

He looked the two of us up and down, "We're busy right now, but we don't recruit child labor!" When Senior Brother Ci on the side heard that I was going to take him to work, he hurriedly pulled my sleeve, "Little fat man!" This is the way you say!"

"It's not this or which! It's not like you don't know where we are now. Why don't you make some money? "But there are no child laborers here!" Is your power an ornament? "Armand, what are you doing there! The candy heart bag is gone, go to the back kitchen to help!"

"Coming soon!" He looked at the two of us apologetically, "You're too young, we can't take it!", and prepared to go to the back kitchen to help.

I grabbed his arm and pulled him to about the same height as Senior Brother Ci. (Of course, his first instinct was to shake off my hand, but he found that such a young child had amazing strength.) [Me: Of course, I'm no ordinary child!] It's just you, you still can't get rid of me!]) Senior Brother Ci also came to him, quickly knelt down in his ear, and said in a very old tone, "Accept ~we~do child labor~." ”

When I heard this, I obviously felt that the big brother's body trembled slightly, and then a trace of cyan light flashed in his eyes, and then he blurted out directly, "Auntie, these two are our newly recruited small workers!"

After he said this, he also covered his mouth in surprise, what did he just say? That's not what I want to say at all! I chuckled and said, "Thank you!"

However, after this sound, a middle-aged woman who was also dressed plainly and wore a white apron on her clothes squeezed over from the crowd irritably, "Aman! They are so young! Aren't you abusing children? ”

As he spoke, the rolling pin in his hand was about to greet him unceremoniously!

I hurriedly dragged Senior Brother Ci to the back kitchen, and shouted to the mother of the big brother who was still angry, "This sister, you can accept us!" We'll show you what we can do!"

Hearing this sister, she was obviously stunned. The face that had some traces of time smiled and blossomed, "You kid, it's really sweet-mouthed, then leave you alone!"

Resign Senior Brother, his jaw is about to fall. This, there are wrinkles on her face all around her, and she is still called sister? I hurriedly glared at him and asked him to withdraw his expression, "This is the art of speaking!"

Soon, we were in the back kitchen, which was already full of leavened dough. I put the five copper plates in the hands of the "sister": "If you think I didn't do a good job, this will be your material cost!" Before she could react, I moved and was already at the cooking table.

"Where's your recipe? Show me!" The big brother was stunned, "You still need the formula?" (These children can mix a dish and make a seasoning, is it difficult, they still want to make the finished product directly?) ”

Senior Brother Ci used a rather imposing tone, "If you don't take the formula, how can my brother help you make it!" (Now I'm following this little fat man, cooking by myself, and I can't help much in this regard!) That's all I can do for her!)"

The big brother didn't know where such a young child could have such a stunning momentum, but he was forced to do so. He handed me their formula.

I took a cursory glance at their recipes, proportions, and steaming times. He frowned slightly, "Can you give me a pen?" "Senior Brother Ci is another eye killing, "Bring a pen here!"

The big brother took the pen very aggrieved. I swiped the order and changed it on it. Half a pound of flour, half the amount of egg liquid. The amount of plum paste should not exceed 500 grams.

Their recipe is generally correct, but with a slight change, it tastes better. I thought about it again, what else is missing? I turned my pen for a moment, and then I went on to write, "Don't use more than a quarter of an hour on medium heat, and steam over slow and medium heat alternately, the effect is better!"

When I was done, I handed it back. He looked at the modified recipe and was a little puzzled. But when Senior Brother Ci was about to speak, he hurriedly took the new recipe and went to the back kitchen to tinker with it himself. I also picked up the materials around and officially started my small work.

Under the watchful eye of the "sister", I began to skillfully knead the dough into the shape of a cake, then add the ingredients, and then knead them into the shape of a bun with my little hands. The flour on top is also sprinkled very evenly.

There are also those steamed bread noodles, I also arrange them neatly, and I have slapped each one seriously. (Of course, Senior Brother Ci doesn't know much about this, so he will give me a hand below and be my assistant.) It's just that I think he can give me salt as sugar, what kind of operation is this? Looks like he doesn't come into the kitchen very often! )

There was a hint of wonder in her eyes. Why did such a young child make this thing, it feels like he can catch it!

His surprise was not over, and then I took them to the special steamer, let the small fire on my shoulder, and stood guard by the door of the stove. Next, of course, I used the contract between us to talk.

The small fire controls the heat very well. It didn't take a while. The steamed buns in a few steamers, the fragrance in them, can't be hidden at all!

Even the customers outside smelled the fragrance wafting from the back kitchen and couldn't help but look inside. Originally, those customers who were already impatient to wait also hurriedly turned the toes of their shoes, such a wonderful fragrance, attracting people to come out. Even if you line up, it's worth it

After the hot steamed buns were opened, I also directly took out a plate and handed it to the big brother and sister, "You guys try it first!" They looked at the baked buns in front of them, which should be said to be very close to the perfect steamed buns. I was stunned for a few seconds, then slowly picked it up and took a bite gently.

Now they were even more stunned, and the eyes of the "sister" flashed with a strange light. This kid is so delicious! Compared to this, it seems that I am not doing enough!

I looked at them with a smile and said, "How's it going?" The big brother nodded vigorously, while stuffing the bun into his mouth, "Well, Xiaoyou's craftsmanship is really unusual!" Don't know where to learn? ”

"Well! (I can't reveal my master's identity either.) I made it up on my own!" While the two of them were eating steamed buns. Senior Brother Ci's stomach, who was standing on the side, suddenly made a grunt. He was very embarrassed and wanted to hide it, but at this time he let out another "coo".

I stifled a smile and stuffed a hot bun into his hand, "No, you're welcome, eat it!" You've been hungry for a long time, too. "Humph! Little fat man, don't talk about today's events, or you'll die!"

"I know, I know, who hasn't been so embarrassed. I'll keep it a secret for you!" This is about the same, he elegantly ate the bun in his hand, "Well, I didn't expect the little fat man, your craftsmanship is not bad!" However, compared to the younger brother, it still needs to be improved! ”

I raised an eyebrow, "Isn't that me younger than him?" I might be even better than him!" Little fat man, you just keep blowing here! (This is a junior brother!) Then he is an authentic gluttonous bloodline, and his comprehension of cooking skills is not ordinarily high! [He never expected that I also have half gluttonous blood.] ])”

Wait until they're done eating, "Hee-hee, it's delicious!" "That's right! Right! You two friends, can you stay in the store for a long time? ”

"Resident, of course it won't work! We were only here to help temporarily, and we'll be going back later! Otherwise, the family should worry about us! But didn't I help you change the recipe? You can keep doing it! You can continue to innovate on this program!"

That "sister" originally wanted to stay with us for a few more days, but we were very determined, it should be said, I am very determined, and I must go back tomorrow. Then they had no choice but to give up. "Our income today is fifty-fifty!"

I smiled and spoke, and the big brother was obviously scared by me, "What? A five-five harvest? What small worker has such a high salary? (Where did this little friend come from, I don't know the market price, the small workers and the hired people, that are all twenty-eight points.) )”

Senior Brother Ci knows the market situation, and he also leaned into my ear, "You are like this, aren't you?" There's too much to ask for!" I don't want much!"

I looked at the big brother again, "The formula is a very important part, since you showed it to me, it means that you believe me, but I also helped you change the formula." I also gave you advice, and you also ate what you just made! That's not the fruit of my labor, there is a long queue outside, for you to collect this may lose customers, there are so many people outside, our labor force is also very large. And the two of us are so young, a little more hard work, it shouldn't be nothing! In this way, five or five points is not too little? ”

"Otherwise, we'll open four or six?" The big brother was powerless to refute what I said, and he was still stunned for a while. When he heard me say that I wanted to open four or six, he hurriedly said, "No, no, let's open five or five!" ”

"Okay, then it's so pleasantly decided!" He reacted, only to realize what he had just promised? But if you say it, it's just spilled water, and you can't get it back. And you can't play tricks on these two children!

He was remorseful here, and I gestured a look to Senior Brother Ci next to me, "Senior Brother Ci, learn something!" He was also very surprised, this, this little fat man, his eloquence, was it practiced like this? Next, I started working in full-time mode. I have to say that the passenger flow outside here is really big!

The movement of my hands, that can be said to be very fast. Although some of the dough is flying all over the sky, it is neat and tidy when it falls on the board. (And with the cooperation of Senior Brother Ci and Xiaohuo, we have almost become an assembly line.) )

The big brother was dumbfounded, and he also sped up the movements of his hands, woo woo, children are faster than me!

It's just that when I was concentrating on kneading the buns, I felt a little heavy on my head, and I couldn't help but stroke my head, but this heaviness did not relieve much.

Senior Brother Ci, who was on the side, noticed the action of looking for it, and quipped, "What, little fat man, the workload is too much, is it a little unbearable?" Or do I? I glared at him, "You do, wait until you can tell what is sugar and what is salt!" ”

After that, I put up with the discomfort and continued to make those pastries, after all, there are so many customers out there who are looking forward to my food! Seeing that I had returned to my previous appearance, Senior Brother Ci continued to help me. (It's just that after a long time of fighting, he became an outside worker.) )
