Chapter 420: Stranger
"You are?" As soon as Wang Baiyu opened the door, she found that she didn't know the tall man standing outside the door.
"Excuse me, I came here to ask, where did you buy your food?" The man spoke.
"We didn't buy it here, we made it ourselves. It's just because the shopkeeper doesn't allow us to cook in the room, so we borrow the food from the shopkeeper's yard. Wang Baiyu said frankly.
The man seemed to be a little hesitant, he frowned and looked at Wang Baiyu: "I have a reluctant request below, and I hope you can help." He looked at Wang Baiyu seriously, "My mother is old, and she wants to eat beans and roast pork from her hometown, so when she smells the smell of your food, she misses her hometown a little." This time, we originally wanted to return to our hometown from Cloud City, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there were no boats leaving the dock, so we had to stay at the inn for the time being, preparing to wait for the rain to stop before leaving. I just went to this inn to buy bean roast pork, but it is not the taste that my mother likes, so I ...... I had to come rashly. ”
When Wang Baiyu heard the man's words, he suddenly felt that he couldn't say anything to refuse, but if he didn't refuse, they wouldn't have much to eat.
Before Wang Baiyu could speak, the man said again: "My mother is not in good health, and I am worried that I will ...... when I go back to my hometown There's no chance of coming out of here, and if you can, I'll give you as much money as you want. ”
"What's wrong? White jade? Qin Shen's voice sounded in the room.
Soon there was a sound of footsteps, and it was Qin Shen and Qiao Su who walked over together.
Qiao Su looked at the tall man standing outside the door, and then looked at Wang Baiyu: "This is what you know?" ”
Wang Baiyu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Not really." ”
She quickly told Qiao Su and Qin Shen the cause and effect of the incident.
Josue turned her head to look at the table. "We really don't have much food left here, and we've already touched it, if your family really wants to eat it, you can go get some beans and meat back, and I'll cook it for you."
The man originally heard Qiao Su say that there was not much time left for food, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face, but when he heard that Qiao Su was willing to help him cook, he hurriedly thanked: "Thank you so much, I'll buy it." So saying, he ran out quickly.
Wang Baiyu hurriedly shouted from behind: "Hey, it's still raining outside!" You didn't have an umbrella with you! ”
But the man didn't even look back, and rushed out of the inn.
"I forgot to tell him, in fact, you can buy ingredients in the inn." Josu said on the side.
Qin Shen shook his head: "It's just that we cook our own food, this is to help the guests who live in the inn cook, and it would not be good if the shopkeeper knew about it, so it was actually right for him to go out to buy ingredients." ”
Qiao Su sighed: "Actually, I also know that the things about cooking for him are not well known by the people in the inn, but how to say it?" This is a dutiful man! And his mother should be very old, and it is fate to meet. It's just a gesture, and it's nothing? ”
Qin Shen took Qiao Su's hand: "Let's eat first, otherwise I won't be able to eat again when he comes back in a while." ”
"Why, although I eat very slowly, is it as slow as a snail?" Saying that, Qiao Su and Qin Shen returned to the table and continued to eat.
As soon as Qiao Su put down his chopsticks, he heard footsteps at the door.
Wang Baiyu stood up. "I'll go and see, it should be that person is back." ”
When she opened the door, she saw the man raise his hand and was about to knock.
Looking at the rain dripping on the man's head, Wang Baiyu hurriedly said: "Just hand over the things to me, you go back and pack up quickly, don't get the wind chill again, although the weather is warm, but when it rains, the wind is still very cold." And I have to go downstairs with the master to do this thing, and then bring it up when it is ready, you just wait in the room and don't come out, otherwise if it is discovered by the shopkeeper, you will definitely be unhappy. ”
"I understand, thank you very much." Chen Sheng said.
Qiao Su was = sitting on the side, not knowing what to think, Qin Shen stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes: "Didn't you say that you would help him cook for his mother-in-law?" Why are you here in a daze? ”
"I'm thinking about how to talk to the shopkeeper about borrowing the kitchen! After all, I just made a meal and came back, wouldn't it be suspicious if I went down further? The shopkeeper wanted to steal from me, and I drove him away when he was with me, so if he knew that my meal was made for the guests in the inn, he might not have said anything about us? ”
Qin Shen smiled and said, "What's this, you are really too careful." Although it is certain that the shopkeeper is unhappy, but how to say it? After all, we paid the money and went to the inn, and he earned more money than the daily meal, or renting his house. If we leave in anger, it will be him who loses! So you can rest assured that you can say that there is not enough food for today, and I will not go down on it. ”
Qin Shen's eyes looked at the beans and meat that Wang Baiyu was holding in his hand, and found that this amount was not large.
"We bought our own ingredients from the shopkeeper, and we only went down when we were in the middle of the day. Isn't that weird? Josu said.
"You." Qin Shen stretched out his hand and gently poked Qiao Su's forehead twice: "There are many things that need to be understood and pretended to be confused. It's okay to get by on the big side, you just need to give the shopkeeper a valid reason, so that the other guests can't find the problem. ”
Qiao Su nodded, quickly took Wang Baiyu and Hou Chen to clean up the things on the table, and then went downstairs with the tableware and ingredients to be washed.
The shopkeeper is not here. I guess I was busy greeting customers in front of me, but I saved a lot of saliva!
Qiao Su went directly to the kitchen to find the back kitchen and borrowed the stove, "I don't have enough dishes today, so I have to make some more." ”
Well, the back kitchen nodded, and didn't speak.
Hou Chen was in charge of washing the dishes, Wang Baiyu was in charge of handling the ingredients, Qiao Su was in charge of lighting the fire, and then waited for the things to be sent here. At this moment, the back kitchen walked up to Qiao Su and whispered, "I want to know why your dishes look like this?" ”
"It's because the ingredients are enough." Qiao Su felt that there was no secret recipe for this dish, but it was just a casual stir-fry, so there was nothing that could not be said, and he looked at the back kitchen. "In fact, as a cook, you should also understand that there is a difference between making small stir-fried rice and big pot rice. The food you make is meant to be eaten by a lot of customers in this restaurant, but if you make a single meal, the taste will definitely be different. And I'm all the usual condiments here, and there's nothing weird."
