In fact, since I first met Yu Rushi, I have always had a question in my heart, but I have never said it, just because I feel that whether it is Yan Liyan or Yan Yanan, they are too deep in the whirlpool of infighting in the family, and even if they ask, they may not be able to answer for me.

Practical is also half an outsider, my question, he may be able to give the answer.

It just so happened that when it came to Qi Ru, I said casually: "I have never understood why Qi Ru has become the way he is." ”

Practical slapped the last two fires on the mouth of the stove and stretched out his hand to me: "Hand me the jar of honey oil, the one you have at hand." ”

I looked up the edge of the stove and saw a small stainless steel jar with some semi-liquid grease in it, not far from the left-hand side.

Handing the jar to Utility, Utility picked up a small white brush from the stoveside, stood up, dipped the brush in grease, and evenly applied it to the surface of the fire.

As he continued his movements, he said, "A piece of noodles and a piece of meat, as long as it is cooked properly, can become a mouth-watering delicacy." Take this vat of honey oil as an example, 60% honey plus 40% peanut oil, if you eat it directly, it is estimated that no one can adapt to such a strange taste, but if you apply them to the dough, after the flame roasting, it can make the dough more crispy, and can also give birth to a sweet and delicious taste. ”

Speaking of this, Practical turned his head and smiled at me: "My son is a good person, but not a good cook." ”

This is a bit complicated, but if you take a closer look, you will know the meaning of practicality, what he wants to say is actually very simple, the reason why he has become what he is today is because he is not well educated.

As the saying goes, the son does not teach, the father is wrong, like this kind of words, it is too offensive to say it, and it is practical to turn such a big corner.

To be honest, it is very tiring to communicate with practical people, he is always reluctant to say too straightforwardly, and every sentence he says has to be guessed hard to understand the meaning.

I said, "I thought that the reason why you are the way you are today is only because of your true nature. ”

Practical nodded: "The true nature of the family is different, and in his temperament, he is born with a sense of gloom, he likes to intrigue with others, and he does have a certain connection with his true nature." However, those who have the yin character in their nature may not all be the same as him. ”

As he spoke, he sealed the lid of the stove and waited for the fire inside to be slowly cooked.

The guys around me were still busy, and when I was talking to Shiji, they didn't mean to interject, and all their energy was focused on the work in hand, as if they didn't hear our conversation at all.

Practical pointed to a few guys in the room and said, "They can't hear what we say." ”

I couldn't help frowning: "Can't you hear? ”

Practical sent two pieces of charcoal to the stove and nodded: "They are all deaf and mute, they can't hear or speak." My shop has a cooperation with the welfare institute, and they send me some helpers on weekdays, and I pay some wages, which can be regarded as a livelihood for these poor children. ”

I said, "You're also making merit?" ”

Practical shook his head: "To each his own, it's just what he needs." You don't have to look at these children who are born with disabilities, but it is precisely because they can't hear the noise of the outside world that they can focus on the matter at hand. I also recruited workers normally before, but the things made by those people are a little better than anything, not that the craftsmanship is not at home, but because I am not focused enough, I have lost a little aura. ”

I smiled: "It's really hard for normal people like us to be able to keep our ears open to what's going on outside the window. ”

He gave me a meaningful look, and then he didn't answer anymore, but brought oil and honey, and turned up a vat of honey oil.

I asked him on the side: "Sixth uncle, you say, why do you always have to get along with me?" ”

Practical stopped what he was doing: "Why can't he get along with you, don't you know in your heart?" ”

"I also heard from Yu Liyan that he has always wanted to enter the winter character vein, and he has coveted the old alley for a long time, but he can't enter the winter character vein because his physique is not up to standard, and even if there is no thrift store, he has a lot of industries under his hands."

"He's not just looking for thrift stores." Practical smiled and shook his head: "Since I entered the industry, for more than a thousand years, there have always been two powerful factions in the family, checking and balancing each other, just now, although the uncle is the head of the family, but the second master's power is not weaker than him, two people each occupy one side, and no one can suppress anyone." If you are this kid, he is ambitious, and he always wants to take all the rights into his own hands, if you hadn't killed him halfway, he might have succeeded. ”

As he spoke, he paused slightly, and after a short while, he continued: "If you have been operating at home for so many years, your foundation strength is not ordinarily deep, you are a newcomer, if he really wants to attack you, I estimate that you should have no chance of winning." ”

I said, "What happens if I lose?" ”

Practical thought about it and said, "With such a temperament, I will definitely not give up without expelling you from the house." At that time, let alone a family, you have no place in the whole industry, and the best result is to go abroad to live in seclusion, but at that time you don't have a penny, even if you want to go abroad, there is no way. ”

I sighed helplessly: "I also know that I can't fight him, that's why I came to you." ”

The words were all said on the bright side, and I thought that I should respond to anything practical, but I didn't expect him to hear my words, so he changed the topic very bluntly: "Wait for the fire to be grilled until it is five ripe, and brush it with honey oil again, so as to make the dough more crispy." In addition, the heat should also be controlled, at the beginning of the meat filling with high heat, change the middle to a small fire, slowly bring out the gravy in the filling, and finally change the high heat to give the dough a layer of crisp. ”

I smiled: "Sixth Uncle, you don't plan to let me stay in your shop to roast the fire, right?" ”

Practical eyes kept staring at the fire in the furnace, and said, "Since you are here, give me an apprentice for a few days." Hehe, you know, doing business is the same as roasting. Adjust the stuffing and knead the dough, control the heat, there are many doorways in it, and when you eat all these doorways, you don't need me to teach you any more business things. ”

I said, "If it's really like what you said, don't all the cooks in the world run away to do business?" ”

Practical picked up the tongs, suppressed the fire in the stove, and sighed slowly: "Do you know why the second master let you go out to travel this year?" ”

"It wasn't the second master who asked me to go out, I took the initiative to leave home at the beginning."

"I know you took the initiative to bring it up, but think about it, the second master is so strong, if he makes it clear that he doesn't want to let you go, can you still get out?"

"That's just as well."

"Let me ask you the question just now, do you know why the second master is willing to let you out?"

"Probably want me to walk around the floating world more, see more, and appreciate more of the world. In the words of the head of the empty cloud road, it is the red dust refining the heart. ”

"You're smart, and you can do a lot of things at once. The world is big, desire comes first, and all living beings in the world always like to look at the sky in the distance, only hoping that one day, they can also break free from the shackles and spread their wings and fly high. But in the distance, most of them are illusions created by desire, only knowing the camp in the distance, but forgetting the reality of the moment, it must be said that it is also an obsession. The so-called red dust refining the heart is to let you learn to focus on the present. ”

It was also here that I suddenly remembered a popular sentence recently: life is not only about the present, but also about poetry and distance.

In fact, this sentence was originally correct, but the practical words changed the order of this sentence.

The life in front of me is not only reluctant, but also poetry and distance.

Live in the moment because everything we want is in the moment.

Maybe he was trying to tell me that many people only think of what is in front of them as a kind of ordinary business, but forget the hidden truth.

Practically, this man is really not honest enough, but I was surprised to find that I liked him more and more.

"You're still a little impetuous." Practically said this, but the work in his hand never stopped.

I smiled: "I can only be completely calm when I am in danger." ”

"When I say impetuousness, I don't mean the same thing as you understand impetuousness." Practical turned to me and said, "Do you know what your biggest problem is right now?" ”

I thought about it and shook my head again.

Practical continued: "Your biggest problem is that you don't have feelings for the inheritance of the family. ”

With that, he stared at me for a moment, until the fire in the stove made a crisp sound, and then he turned around, opened the lid, and brushed the dough with a layer of honey oil.

After closing the lid again, Practical continued what he had just said: "For those of us in this industry, inheritance is blood. Everyone here, whether good or bad, virtuous or treacherous, does everything throughout their lives to continue the inheritance from generation to generation. When you understand this, your mind can really calm down. ”

I couldn't fully understand what he said, so I just pursed my lips and said, "My inheritance is actually quite complicated, in addition to the craftsmanship I learned from my family, there are also a lot of miscellaneous ...... learned from outside."

Before I could finish speaking, Practical interrupted me: "Whether it is the craftsmanship of the family or the acrobatics you learned from outside, it is your inheritance and your bloodline. ”

After saying the word, Practical took a long breath, and then fell into silence.

I didn't know what to say for a while, I just sat sullenly, and the whole kitchen was filled with the sound of the guys busy.
