This stretches out his hand and doesn't hit the smiling person, Cheng Xi's smile really pleased Xiao Er, plus Cheng Xisheng's white and clean face is lovely, and it is even more popular, Xiao Er's originally indifferent face once again showed a warm smile, it seems that it is not bad to have such a lovely little girl to work with him, so he smiled and responded, "I listened to the kitchen steward and the shopkeeper say, the kitchen is too busy in the back, and you want to find two more chores, you go to the back door to ask, find the kitchen steward." ”

Cheng Xi looked happy and thanked him politely, "Okay, thank you, little brother." ”

Xiao Er looked at the smile on Cheng Xi's face, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and he smiled and waved his hand, "Go over there, go quickly, don't delay me to greet guests, there are a lot of people here." ”

As for Xu Sanlang behind Cheng Xi, he was completely ignored by the little second brother.

Xu Sanlang didn't think there was anything wrong with the little two ignoring him, he just looked at the smiles on the faces of these two people, and always felt a little dazzling, so he unconsciously pulled Cheng Xi up and turned around and walked quickly towards the back door behind the restaurant.

According to the alley pointed out by Xiao Er, I saw a small back door, at this time the back door was slightly hidden, and there were all kinds of noisy sounds that can only be found in the back kitchen, and at the same time, the smell of various ingredients was wafting, which didn't smell good, but Cheng Xi felt inexplicably cordial.

Xu Saburo stepped forward and knocked on the door first, no one answered inside, Cheng Xi simply stepped forward and pushed the door open, the small place in the backyard was full of ingredients, disorganized, the two women were flustered and busy shuttling between various ingredients, and there were a few angry scolding voices from time to time in the kitchen inside, "What about the garlic seedlings, grinding, my meat is in the pot and the garlic seedlings haven't been brought yet?" ”

Then I saw one of the women shuttling among the ingredients, holding several ingredients in her hands, running towards the kitchen, shouting, "Ouch, here it is, the old lady has no three heads and six arms, so she has to come the same." ”

Watching the people in the back kitchen come and go, the two of them stood in the messy backyard for a while, no one paid any attention to them, and they didn't seem to notice that there were other people in the courtyard at all.

It wasn't until the woman who had just delivered the garlic sprouts continued to come out to look for ingredients, and just found the place where they were standing, that they found the two of them, patted their chests and said, "Ouch, what are you doing, what are you doing here, scared the old lady to death." ”

Cheng Xi felt that it was better to open his mouth for this kind of thing, just Xu Sanlang's cold face, he was worried that he would be kicked out before he could speak, so he said with a smile on his face, "Auntie, we heard that you are recruiting people in the back kitchen here, so come and have a look." ”

At this time, there was another shouting and scolding in the kitchen, and the woman had no time to take care of the two of them, so she shouted into the house while looking for ingredients, "Steward Xu, there are two people here, saying that they are here to find something to do." ”

As soon as the woman left, no one paid attention to them, and after a while, only one person came out of the house, and hurriedly came to the two of them, it should be the Xu steward in the woman's mouth, about forty years old, the body is a little fat, wearing a long gown, the hem is tied around the waist, it seems to be for the convenience of doing things, that face is also the same as his fat figure, round, looking at it makes people feel that he is a gentle person, at this time his hands are still covered with oil, and his forehead is still slightly sweating, it seems that he was busy in the kitchen just now.

Steward Xu glanced at the two of them up and down, and asked, "Looking for something to do?" Do you have any experience? ”

Cheng Xi replied with a smile, "We are all from the countryside, although we have no experience, but we are diligent with our hands and feet, and he has great strength and can work." ”

Steward Xu looked at Xu Sanlang behind Cheng Xi, and nodded with satisfaction, but when he turned his gaze to Cheng Xi again, he frowned dissatisfied.

Cheng Xi saw his expression in his eyes, knowing that he was too young, and he was pampered in the Cheng family not like a peasant girl who had done any work at all, so he was busy recommending himself with a smile, "Uncle, don't look at my young age, I am a good cook, and the knife work is very good, you can let me try it for two days first, if it doesn't work, I will go by myself, and I definitely don't want to be paid." ”

Steward Xu looked at Cheng Xi suspiciously and asked, "How do you know that the back kitchen of our restaurant is poor?" ”

Cheng Xi's eyes flashed slightly, and he responded with a smile, "It was the little brother who greeted the guests in front of us who told us." ”

Steward Xu listened to Cheng Xi's words, and really misunderstood, "Oh, it turned out that he introduced it, so let's try it." "Thinking that I don't want to pay for two days, if it doesn't work, let her go, and I won't suffer, and now it's really not enough manpower, I'm busy, I can't find someone for a while, so I'll leave them to see first.

Cheng Xi listened to Steward Xu's words, and happily responded, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Steward Xu said, "Call me Steward Xu in the future, you go over to help Aunt Zhu wash the vegetables first, you go to the back kitchen with me, and the rest will be said after this busy time." With that, he walked quickly to the back kitchen.

Cheng Xi glanced at Xu Sanlang, and quickly followed, Xu Sanlang looked at the back of Cheng Xi leaving, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't move, but Aunt Zhu in the mouth of Steward Xu on the side opened her mouth, "Don't be stunned, hurry up and come over to help, this is a serious restaurant, rest assured, your sister won't lose it." ”

Xu Saburo came back to his senses, went over and began to help, and replied casually, "That's my daughter-in-law." ”

That Aunt Zhu raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xu Sanlang, before continuing to wash the vegetables, moving with her hands, but without delaying her mouth to speak, she said in a surprised tone, "How old is that girl?" ”

Xu Saburo responded, "Child daughter-in-law." ”

Listening to Xu Sanlang's words, Aunt Zhu was not surprised, there were many children and daughters-in-law in this era, but when she remembered the appearance of the girl she had glimpsed before, she couldn't help but sigh, "That girl looks like a child, I really can't see it, you are blessed." ”

But thinking about the girl's long thin skin and tender flesh, she didn't do any work at first glance, and then looked at the tanned and shiny skin of the baby next to her, and the rough hands that were used to farm work, and at the same time sighed in her heart, "Come here to find something to do, I'm afraid life is not easy, the child daughter-in-law is still a delicate girl who can't do work, and this baby will be even more bitter in the future." ”

But I also thought about this in my heart, of course I wouldn't say it in front of Xu Sanlang.

This Aunt Zhu was busy with the work at hand, and she was not idle, and from time to time she talked to Xu Sanlang about her family routine and inquired about Xu Sanlang's situation, but after chatting a few more words, she found that this baby turned out to be a stuffy gourd, and she couldn't hold back a word for a long time, so she also eliminated the thought of talking and worked with peace of mind.

And Cheng Xi's side, followed the Steward Xu into the back kitchen, and saw a lean man in his fifties standing in front of the stove, who was busy stir-frying, and a helper who helped to add fuel to the fire, but he was obviously too busy, the woman who had just picked up the vegetables outside was busy chopping vegetables at this time, and there was an empty cutting board next to it, with meat on it, it should be that Steward Xu was cutting meat by himself just now.

After Steward Xu brought Cheng Xi in, he didn't have time to ask more questions and said directly, "It's not that the knife work is good, go over and cut the meat first, I'll take a look." ”

Cheng Xi went over with a sound, but first washed his hands carefully in the basin on the side, then picked up the knife and lean meat on the cutting board, and asked, "Sliced meat or shredded meat?" ”

The chef listened to the voice of the strange girl, took the time to raise his head and look at Cheng Xi, and saw that Cheng Xi's expression was the same as when Steward Xu first saw Cheng Xi, and frowned slightly, but this time was the time to be busy, and he didn't have time to ask in detail, so he answered a word of shredded meat, and then continued to be busy.

Cheng Xi listened to shredded meat, held a kitchen knife, and began to skillfully slice meat, that flowing action, Steward Xu on the side was very surprised, because he was poor, he didn't do much about this, but he had to feel that compared to the little girl in front of him, his movements were really jerky and tight.

The chef on the side listened to the sound on the side, looked up at Cheng Xi, the expression on his face was also very surprised, and he sighed in his heart that this little girl actually had such a skilled knife work, I am afraid that it will not be worse than him, a veteran of more than 30 years.

The chef, who was finally relieved, looked at Steward Xu, who was idle on the side, and said directly, "Old Xu, the pillar is too busy to be alone, you go and help kill the fish." ”

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Xu didn't continue to appreciate Cheng Xi's knife work, went to catch a fish in the small pond over there, and went to the back yard to kill fish.

It seems that the business of this restaurant is very good, and it has been busy until the next day, and finally stopped, and it was only after the last table of dishes was finished that everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.

At this time, the little two who greeted the guests outside would bring in the dishes, and they would stay in the back kitchen for a while, and when they saw Cheng Xi in the kitchen, they would be very curious to ask a few words, and Cheng Xi would show a flattering smile, which was very attractive.

Steward Xu finally became idle, stood aside and watched Cheng Xi wash the dishes, and said, "I didn't expect that you girl looks at the fine skin and tender meat, and her hands and feet are quite neat." ”

Cheng Xi replied with a smile, "They are all country girls, they haven't done any work, where is it so expensive." ”

Steward Xu looked at the girl in front of him who was smiling and showing two small dimples, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing he became, so he smiled and teased, "It's a pity, with such a sign, you will be a child daughter-in-law, otherwise I would like to ask you back to me as a daughter-in-law." ”

When it comes to the relationship between the two, Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi have a tacit understanding, saying that Cheng Xi is Xu Sanlang's child daughter-in-law, anyway, this is not far from Shiqiao Village, but it is not close, no one will know about them, and the people in the restaurant will not go to Shiqiao Village to inquire about them, after all, Cheng Xi is the little daughter-in-law who failed to win, and Xu Sanlang also has a reputation for killing his relatives, these things are still good to hide.
