Chapter 3: Acquaintance and Food
At the door of Xu Le's room, Dad and a young man in a blue shirt were talking.
"Dad, is it really okay for Xu Le to appear suddenly, I always feel that his appearance is too deliberate, can I really believe him?" The man turned his head sideways and asked Daddy in a low voice.
"This kid came very suddenly, and although I sensed that he seemed to be lying, I didn't find any ill intent in him, indicating that he really wanted to learn magic." Hearing this, Daddy shook his head, thinking to himself, if he really wanted to learn magic, then why should I teach him, but I still wait for me to observe for a while, I don't want to teach an evil archmage.
"Jackie Chan, where did Xiaoyu go, she hasn't come back so late." Dad is very strange, usually at this time Xiaoyu has already stayed in the store, why can't anyone see him now, so he can't help but be a little worried. "You said Xiaoyu, she just called me, she went to play with her classmates, and she will come back later." As soon as Jackie Chan heard his father mention Xiaoyu, his head hurt again, this Xiaoyu caused trouble for him all day long, causing him to be complained by Xiaoyu's head teacher again.
The door slowly opened, and he was dressed in a pajama made of Persian material, a truly oriental pajama, without the slightest hint of Europeβno tassels, no velvet, no waist, fat enough to wrap him in two circles. The sleeves are authentic Asian, and they are fat all the way from the cuffs to the shoulders. Although this pajama is no longer as bright as it used to be, and there are several places where it has been polished and lost its original natural luster, it still maintains the brightness of oriental tones and the firmness of the material.
Xu Yue's delicate face gives people a good first impression, at least Jackie Chan's first impression of this person who suddenly appeared to learn magic is good.
"Hello, my name is Jackie Chan, welcome to join us." "Hello, my name is Xu Le, I hope we can get along happily in the future." The two men shook hands and smiled at each other. Xu Le looked at Jackie Chan's appearance that was no different from that in reality, with a big nose and a kind smile. Jackie Chan was his idol, and he was brave, kind, and strong in the movie.
Later, when he grew up, he was a little disappointed after learning many things, but it could not hide his success. Dad couldn't help but smile when he saw the two of them getting along in harmony. But immediately put on a straight face and said to Xu Le: "You get up at seven o'clock tomorrow to clean up, and then open the door, you will be the waiter of this store in the future, by the way, do you know how to cook?" β
"Yes, I'm not bad at cooking."
"Okay, let's go make dinner." Dad nodded with satisfaction, a cheap salary to recruit a chef plus a cleaner and a waiter, this business is really cost-effective, and it can save a lot of money, thinking about it, Dad laughed out loud, Xu Le was speechless for a while, this dad is really weird. Seeing Xu Le's strange eyes, Dad knew that he had just lost his temper, and he couldn't help but blush, raised his voice, looked angry, and shouted: "Don't go cook quickly, do you want to be fired by Daddy and me." β
At eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Le made a few Chinese home-cooked dishes, a dried vegetable green beans, a braised pork and hot and sour shredded potatoes.
Although it is very ordinary, these dishes are the best dishes that Xu Le could eat when he was a child, especially the braised pork, when the old dean made it for him, it should be said that it was made for all the children in the orphanage, he will never forget the taste, the fragrance of soy sauce is deeply embedded in the meat, the pork belly is fat and thin, and when you bite into it, the juice is like bursting in the mouth, and it begins to penetrate into the whole body from the taste buds, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth. It was the best memory of his childhood, but unfortunately since the old dean died, he couldn't afford to eat these things, and every meal was a big pot of rice from the construction site or even leftovers from other adults.
After all, he was small at the time and was easily bullied by adults. Later, during his college years, the economic conditions gradually improved, and he learned to cook, and he also asked an old chef who was famous for making braised pork how to cook, and the old chef was also a bold person, and after Xu Le gave him a few bottles of good wine, he taught him cooking skills and the secret recipe of braised pork.
Since then, Xu Le's craftsmanship has become better and better, at least the braised pork from the five-star hotel he ate at the company dinner is not as good as him in taste.
Daddy picked up a piece of braised pork, the fat meat is like a piece of jelly with the force of chopsticks and constantly shaking, a bite, the mellow fragrance overflows from the mouth, Dad seems to feel that he has returned to the time when he was a child, the mother made the braised pork for himself to eat, how happy it was at that time, the family was happy.
Jackie Chan looked at his father's expression so exaggerated, and secretly said Is it so delicious, he also ate a piece, the delicacy bloomed in his mouth, and he raised his thumb to express his appreciation for Xu Le's cooking skills. Xu Le smiled confidently, his cooking skills are also half a chef, and it is more than enough to conquer Jackie Chan and Dad.
"Dad, Uncle Long, I'm back, wow, what a smell, it's so fragrant." When the door opened, a clear female voice came from Xiaoyu, who had just returned from her classmates.
Xiaoyu jumped up and ran in with her schoolbag on her back, her black hair was like a cloud, her eyes were bright, and she could see that she was a beauty in the future. Xiao Yu entered the door and saw the braised pork on the table anyway, hurriedly ran over to pick up the chopsticks on the table, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, the delicacy made Xiao Yu let out a lovely admiration, and a piece in his mouth began to clamp to another piece before he finished eating.
"Xiaoyu, don't grab it like this after eating, chew it slowly, and I haven't eaten enough, oops, dad, leave me a piece." A few people seemed to be reincarnated as hungry ghosts, and they finished eating this table of dishes in an instant, Xu Le watched all this quietly, if there is a favorability prompt, now the favorability of the three of them towards Xu Le must be rising.
After the meal, Xu Le was washing the dishes, Xiaoyu ran over to Xu Le and said, "Are you a new clerk, my name is Xiaoyu, it's a pleasure to meet you." β
Xu Le looked at the lively Xiaoyu, he originally liked the role of Xiaoyu, strong and brave, lively and optimistic, bringing happiness to the people around him. Xu Le turned on the faucet, flushed off the dish soap in his hand, and shook hands with Xiaoyu, "Nice to meet you, my name is Xu Le, I believe we will get along very happily." β
"Of course, your cooking skills are so good, my three meals will depend on you in the future, and I want to eat braised pork tomorrow." When Xiao Yu said this, she seemed to think of the braised pork for dinner, and almost left saliva again. Looking at Xiaoyu's cute appearance, Xu Le couldn't help laughing and scratched Xiaoyu's nose.
Dad saw that Xu Le got along well with everyone, nodded secretly, and continued to read the newspaper.
"Is Jackie Chan here?" A bald white man in a black trench coat pushes the door in, and it is none other than the sheriff of District 13 - Blake, who appears in the anime. Blake glanced at Xu Le, who was washing dishes, and wondered why there was an extra person in the store, but he didn't dig deeper, walked up to Jackie Chan, and said with a serious face: "The mafia is active again." β
"These guys are really haunted." Jackie Chan scratched his head, very headache, these guys who disturbed his peaceful life were very headaches.
"By the way, Jackie Chan, the next stop is Mexico, and the spell should be there." Dad pushed his glasses and said to Jackie Chan.
"Mexico, is it so far, it looks like it's going to leave tomorrow." Jackie Chan smiled helplessly, after all, he couldn't let the powerful power of the charm fall into the hands of the mafia. "Uncle Long, I'm going too." Xiaoyu hugged Jackie Chan excitedly, looking like I would stick to you if you didn't agree.
"No, you have to do your homework." Jackie Chan pulled out the arm that was hugged by Xiao Yu, and rejected Xiao Yu's request with a serious face, if Xiao Yu was allowed to follow, there would be a big burden, and he would have even more headaches.
"If you don't go, you won't go." Xiao Yu said that she would not go, her eyes were rolling, as if she was planning something. However, Jackie Chan was thinking about the charm and did not find the abnormality of Xiaoyu on the side.
Mexico, it seems that it is an infinitely powerful cow charm, and there is also a way to get it with the telekinetic flying chicken charm, looking at the harmonious scene, Xu Le planned in his heart how to seize the charm.
