Chapter 5 Red Face
If I sin, there is only one reason, you!
If you want, I'm willing to give it all and give you a smile.
——— inscription
The wind, very light.
Anseong, the lights are blurred.
On the banks of the Guancheng River, the willows are still around.
Between the small bridges and flowing waters, a quaint and vicissitudes of stone pavement, zigzag, stretching into a wooden building.
At this time, the fragrance of the first taste of the lanterns, the guests are full, and they are boiling.
A young man, with a mask and a tray, was busy between the kitchen and the hall.
Until finally, a waiter takes the last dish from his tray and he returns to the kitchen, a dark hallway.
Taking off his mask, he let out a long breath.
All the dishes have finally been delivered.
Along the hallway, he pushed open a door.
Cluttered stairwell, dimly lit.
He, light a cigarette.
The red light flickered, illuminating half of his face.
"Xiaobo, come on a cigarette!"
At this time, a middle-aged man walked out, pulled a paper shell at random, and sat next to Xu Xiaobo.
"Master, how many orders are still undone?" Xu Xiaobo took out a cigarette and asked casually.
"Not much!" The master said, "There are still a few tables of loose orders, what's the matter, I'm still worried about whether she will come!"
"I don't know!" Xu Xiaobo shook his head and took a deep puff of cigarette, "She didn't answer me at the time, maybe I was thinking too much!" ”
"Don't worry!" The master patted Xiaobo on the shoulder and stood up, "It should be yours after all, it will be yours after all, you can't run, I've already prepared the dishes for you, you can think about it yourself in a while, and when you leave, just clean the kitchen!" ”
"Will you come?" Xu Xiaobo muttered to himself.
After smoking a cigarette, he continued to get busy.
Time passed, a taste of incense, the guests gradually ran out, Xiaobo took all the plates back to the kitchen, and before he knew it, it was half past nine.
It's off work.
The waiters, the food server, and the chefs in the kitchen all left one after another.
The man still didn't come.
"Xiaobo!" The female boss of the restaurant walked over with a smile and handed over a bunch of keys to Xu Xiaobo, "If you like it, then chase it, the restaurant will be handed over to you tonight, remember to close the door and come on!" ”
"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Xu Xiaobo smiled bitterly.
In the entire restaurant, he was the only one left.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared at the door of the hall.
She is wearing a long white dress, her long hair moves with the wind, ethereal and dusty, under the lights, like a fairy descending into the world.
Xu Xiaobo's eyes lit up, he stood up, looked at the slender figure, and for a while, he was stupid.
"Why, didn't you say you wanted to cook a few specialty dishes for me to try? Don't invite me in! Yudie spoke, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Xu Xiaobo with a smile.
"Ah, please come in!" Xu Xiaobo came back to his senses and opened the door.
She's coming, she's finally here.
"Huh? How come there is no one? Yudie walked into the hall, looked around, and said, "At this point in time, I still see a lot of guests!" ”
"That...... Business is average today, so get off work early! Xu Xiaobo said.
"Giggles!" Yudie glanced at Xu Xiaobo deeply, "It won't be arranged by you!" ”
"No, no!" Xu Xiaobo hurriedly said, "Miss Yudie will go to the Lanzifang first and wait for me, I'll be fine soon!" ”
"No!" Yudie waved her hand and sat down by the window at random, "It's good here, you are busy first, I am waiting for your good dishes!" ”
"Soon, soon!" Xu Xiaobo greeted and ran into the kitchen.
The wind, slowly, lightly.
Holding her chin, Yudie looked out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
I don't know how long it took, but there were footsteps approaching in a hurry, and Yudie looked back.
I saw Xu Xiaobo holding a tray and walking over happily.
In the tray, there are four plates, two hot dishes and two cold dishes.
"All seasons are like spring! Hey! Xu Xiaobo smiled, brought out all the dishes, and put them on the table.
"I made it all with my own hands!" Putting down the tray, Xu Xiaobo sat down, looked at Yudie, full of anticipation, "This is Kung Pao Chicken, how about you taste it?" ”
"Good!" Yudie smiled slightly, took a piece of diced chicken, and put it in her mouth.
Xu Xiaobo looked at her and looked nervous.
After a while, Yudie nodded.
"Spicy but not violent, the meat is smooth and crispy, spicy and fragrant, good!"
Xu Xiaobo exhaled, but he was a little disappointed, he could see that Yu Die's interest was not high.
"It took a lot of effort to try this dish!" After pondering for a moment, Xu Xiaobo pointed to another dish and said seriously.
"Cabbage?" Yudie stepped forward, sniffed it, and said softly, "It's so fragrant!" ”
"This dish is called boiling water cabbage, don't look at the clear soup and lack of water, I have been learning it for many months!"
Xu Xiaobo gushed endlessly, "This looks like boiling water, but it's actually chicken soup!" This is to use the old hen, the old duck, pork ribs, scallops and other ingredients to remove the miscellaneous and put it into the boiling pot, add some seasonings, it will be prepared for several hours, and then use the chicken breast meat to chop and pour the soup, adsorb impurities in the pot, and repeat several times until the color of the soup is clear and cold like boiled water...... This cabbage can only be used with the unripe Chinese cabbage, and it is the yellowed tender heart, after the fishy vegetables are removed, drenched in chicken broth, and then the blanched cabbage is taken out, and then poured into the fresh chicken broth......"
Yudie looked at him, her eyes changed.
So, he was busy with these dishes all afternoon?
It's really well-intentioned.
"I didn't promise you, I'll come back tonight......" Yudie said softly, "You...... Aren't you afraid of wasted effort? ”
"Hey, hey!" Xu Xiaobo didn't answer, just smiling.
Yudie moved her chopsticks, pinched a note of cabbage, and tasted it gently.
In an instant, his eyebrows furrowed.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xiaobo asked nervously.
Suddenly, she smiled.
Between a smile, there is a lot of style.
Yu Die said slowly: "Fresh and soft, better than delicious food, this is the best dish I have ever eaten!" ”
"Good!" Xu Xiaobo stood up suddenly, excited.
"What are you smiling at? Don't sit down yet! Yudie directly brought the dish to herself and ate it slowly, "Many people say that Sichuan cuisine is famous for its spicy, but they don't know that Sichuan cuisine has many types and styles, which are better than spicy. ”
Xu Xiaobo sighed in his heart when he heard this.
"I'm not happy because I made this dish!"
Xu Xiaobo plucked up his courage and said, "It's because you're happy to eat the food I made, I'm happy!" ”
"Huh!" Yudie smiled but didn't answer, turned her head away, and looked at the other two dishes, "Ah, husband and wife lung slices, red oil belly shreds, these two cold dishes are also my favorite tastes, every time I come here, I order them!" Well, not bad! ”
"If you like it, I'll make it for you every day from now on!" Xu Xiaobo said.
Yudie put down her chopsticks, raised her head, and looked at Xiaobo, her eyes flashing.
"We, it's not suitable!" After a long time, the rain butterfly opened his mouth quietly.
When Xu Xiaobo heard the sound, his body couldn't help but stiffen.
All the joy disappeared in this moment.
"Perhaps, I shouldn't have come!" Yudie sighed lightly, "You are amazing, really, a food delivery person, after a few months in the kitchen, you can learn such a good craft, ordinary people can't do it, it can be seen that you are very hard-working, very talented, come on!" ”
Yudie said, got up and walked out the door.
"I like you!" Xu Xiaobo shouted.
At the door, Yu Die's body paused slightly, silently.
"Why!" Xu Xiaobo roared, "You know that I used to be a ruffian, and now I am a servant of plates, since I think it's inappropriate, why do you still come?" ”
"You, think too much!" Yudie didn't turn around, and said indifferently, "I'm here because of other things!" ”
"What's the matter?" Xu Xiaobo asked in a deep voice.
"Forget it!" Yudie shook her head and pushed the door out.
"I want to know!"
Xu Xiaobo rushed out, blocked Yudie's way, and directly grabbed her hand.
"Why?"
"Let go!" Rain butterflies drink low.
"If you don't say it, I won't let it go!" Xu Xiaobo made up his mind, as if he had changed into a different person, "You told me, if you meet a woman you like, you should be bold to chase it, I have met it now, it's you!" ”
"Good!" Yudie said coldly, "You want to know, then let me tell you, I don't like you, I don't like you at all, I came to you, just because you are a ruffian, not a good thing, I want you to help me do one thing, steal a car, rob a bank, I want you to commit a crime, I know you like me, I want to use you, understand?" Got it? ”
"Okay, I'll do it!"
Xu Xiaobo actually smiled, without the slightest hesitation, and agreed.
"You!" Yudie was stunned, "What I said is true! ”
"I'm serious too!" Xu Xiaobo said.
"Good!" After pondering for a long time, Yudie shook off Xu Xiaobo's hand, bypassed him, and walked forward, "It's done, divide a quarter of you, everyone is clear!" I'll call you tomorrow night! ”
"I'll wait for your call!" With an expressionless face, Xu Xiaobo returned to the hall.
Yudie didn't look back, and along the winding path, she came to the bank of the Guancheng River, and she stopped.
Leaning against a willow tree, she closed her eyes in pain.
Actually, tonight, she came very early, and she had been secretly observing the man.
She looked at him, watched him carry the food, and ran table after table.
She looked at him, as he sat alone in the hall, waiting with a loss.
She saw him, and he was thrilled to see her.
He was ecstatic when she saw him, and she smiled.
His words and deeds have changed with her changes.
But what about that?
She only has three months to live, does it matter if she likes him or not?
She would rather he be a scumbag than he would be nice to her like this.
It's been a long time, it's been a long time since there has been no one who has been so kind to her, how could she not be moved?
She regretted that she shouldn't have come here, and pulled him back into the fire pit after he had been reformed, and the fact that he was beaten by those policemen during the day was still vivid, and he finally came out and behaved in a dignified manner, I don't know how much courage it takes.
She originally wanted to provoke him, and from then on, they went their separate ways and were irrelevant.
Unexpectedly, he agreed without a moment's hesitation.
The more this is the case, the more painful it is for the rain butterfly.
"Fool, fool!"
