Chapter 43: Before the Final

Finally tomorrow is the final, although I have never been worried about breaking into the finals, but when it all comes to fruition I am still very happy - I have never won a prize in a competition since I was a child, whether official or non-governmental, according to my mother, the only time I won the ranking was to see who peed and spilled far away with my friends, and I was rare to get a third place - but my dad put aside and added: "I remember that time, but it seems that there were only two boys you played with at that time!" ”

Suffice it to say, reaching the finals this time means a lot to me, not only filling the gap in my life that I haven't won a prize again, but also announcing to the world that I have opened a new chapter in my life!

In this case, Ren Xiaoyan resolutely blocked my proposal to go to the restaurant, for fear that I would be happy and waive the guest list, so when everyone was in full swing at work, I stayed at home blowing the air conditioner and drinking beer, watching TV in which 22 grandsons worth more than 10 million were chasing a ball and running to death in order to make me happy......

Just when I watched with great interest Ronaldo dribbling the ball and was about to shoot, the door was suddenly knocked on, and I ignored him - you should be able to understand this, as long as a man involves this shooting word, no matter what he shoots, he will have no distractions, let alone knocking on the door, even if the earthquake and fire have waited for a few seconds to say - but the door followed and shouted: "Why bother, I know you are inside, if you don't open it again, I will go to Xiaoyan ......"

I watched Ronaldo kick the ball in the goalkeeper's face, and I really didn't have a chance to shoot into the net, so I got up and went to open the door, and the moment I grabbed the deadbolt, I had a thought in my head: "Hey, why does this sound sound so familiar, is it ......?"

Then the door opened, and Mr. Ren took Boss Ren and Ren Xiaonan into the room, and greeted me with a smile, and I reacted from the kick at the door just now: "It's bad, the ancestors and grandsons of the Ren family came to me with Xiaoyan on their backs, they won't hold back anything bad, right?" ”

As the saying goes, each other is born from the heart, how can I show it on my face when I think about it, the Ren family is not a vegetarian, and I immediately saw my worries, and Boss Ren immediately said: "Don't be nervous, today we came to you Xiaoyan to know, it's definitely not to find fault!" ”

"Then you can't be here for the bride price, right?" I beckoned the three of us to sit down, took a few bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and put them on the table, and then sat opposite and said sincerely: "I can't talk to me about this matter - I feel that I have to take Xiaoyan home to recognize the door first, and then let my parents talk to you - I will be too disadvantaged to talk about this business myself!" ”

The servants were dumbfounded, and Ren Xiaonan expressed his dissatisfaction for the first time: "Who asked you to talk about marriage?" ”

I was stunned: "Then do we have anything else to talk about?" I thought about it, and then said tentatively: "Could it be that you finally realize that you can't control this matter between me and Xiaoyan, so you are ready to come and walk around, so as not to make it difficult for the two families in the future?" ”

Old man Ren picked up the bottle of mineral water and prepared to twist it, touched the temperature and put it back on the table, and asked me: "Don't you have any tea here, if you don't have hot boiled water, it is much better than your frozen mineral water!" ”

I took out the phone and sent a message to Xiao Zhuanfeng to bring the tea, at this time Boss Ren coughed twice and said: "Actually, we came today for two things, you are not wrong, we are indeed here to promote the relationship, we don't care about my Xiaoyan and you......"

"I guess I can't manage it if I want to, right?" Old Man Ren listened to her father's rigid and passionless speech, so he simply interjected: "The fact is that we have agreed to this matter between my family Xiaoyan and you, and you can now communicate generously, and we will never interfere."

I was amused to say, "Yo, thank you so much!" ”

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, as long as you live well, we will be happy," Old Man Ren lay down on the sofa and put himself comfortably in it, and then said: "Besides, after this period of observation, we found that you are indeed quite capable, and Xiaoyan will not just say grievances when she is with you - the most important thing is that she likes you, this is the basis of our agreement!" ”

I said with a bit of a deliberate hint of raising the bar, "You didn't say that last time...... Oh, just the old man's birthday. ”

Boss Ren's face turned a little red in an instant, and he didn't know how to answer in embarrassment, but my future brother-in-law relieved him with a word: "What nonsense, don't you know that you are looking for you to come to the round, why, you still don't give face?" ”

"No, no," I didn't dare to make a mistake in the face of the future old man's pole, and hurriedly smiled: "That's it, don't care too much about me - I'm a person who has nothing else but a poor mouth, and you'll know in the future, in fact, I really haven't gone anywhere in my heart!" ”

This sentence was true, and the Ren family trio and I both laughed happily, and the atmosphere instantly became harmonious......

Xiao Zhuanfeng sent the tea leaves, and the old man understood at a glance: "That's it?" I said why bother, didn't you say that your business is on fire, why don't you prepare some good tea, except for the tea stalks for the guests? ”

I hurriedly took out fifty yuan and handed it to Xiao Zhuanfeng, and said, "Buy, buy it immediately......

"Forget it, isn't the tea bought for fifty yuan still the same?" The old man Ren twisted the tea foam and put it on the cup, Ren Xiaonan hurriedly took it to add water, and Xiao Zhuanfeng took advantage of the situation to kick fifty feet in his pocket and slipped away, and then the old man continued: "We still have something to discuss with you......"

Since it's hard to say anything about the family, I said generously: "You say, I must be unambiguous if I can help." ”

Old Man Ren and Boss Ren looked embarrassed at the same time, and no one said anything to each other for a long time, and I was anxious: "You still say that you are not here to talk about the bride price?!" ”

Ren Xiaonan straightened up and said: "Forget it, I'll talk about this matter-why bother, my dad and my grandfather mean that now your business is so good, many old customers know that the shops on both sides of us are one and come here to make reservations, but we don't have those dishes...... Can you discuss and serve these dishes on our side as well? ”

I slapped my thigh and suddenly said: "You guys are doing such a mystery today just to learn my cuisine!" ”

"It's not, it's not all," Old Man Ren picked up the cup and almost covered his entire face, Boss Ren's face was like a glow, and he reluctantly said: "It's mainly that soup, cough cough ......"

It stands to reason that learning to cook is a taboo in the chef industry, and under normal circumstances, no one will sell their most popular and best-selling recipes to others, and the ancestors and grandchildren of the Ren family also know this rule, but they still came - so, I concluded that the business of another restaurant of the Ren family was very poor, and they had to ask for the door, and maybe they had discussed it with Ren Xiaoyan, so I thought about it and agreed to their request, "It's okay to help you, but I'm afraid that the chef who teaches you won't be able ......to learn it for a while."

"It's okay, you can just send two cooks," Old Man Ren hurriedly said: "The chefs are not our own family, why teach them what to do, you better put your own hands on your own safety." ”

I agreed to send a chef to Ren's restaurant, and their eyes looked at me again, from the beginning of the reluctant recognition to the current eager recognition, the two elders are still a little reserved because of their identity, but Ren Xiaonan can't manage so much, and directly hooked up with me and started a friendship: "Why bother, you kid is interesting enough, you really deserve my sister to take a fancy to you......"

He picked up a bottle of beer and stretched it out to me: "Come, let's touch one, and we will be a family in the future!" ”

Me: "I'm going to drink it and get it in the fridge - you're going to have this bottle mine." ”

The big thing has been done, a stone in the heart of the Ren family has also fallen to the ground, and the speech is much more natural, followed by a burst of nonsense, mainly around the competition and the development of the Ren family restaurant, I also know that everything is said and they are endless, what can be said, what can not be said is not said - in the evening, I pondered and found that I was paralyzed, and there was basically nothing I could say in the afternoon, so this afternoon was all blind......

After chatting happily, the Ren family simply left us here for dinner, I instructed Xiao Zhuanfeng to bake a lot of skewers, and then asked Wu Jian to cook some noodles, at this time Xiang Shaolong, Ding and others, who lived in the tent upstairs, also woke up, and didn't say much, just sat at the table and started eating, plus Ren Xiaoyan and Uncle Wolf who rushed back from the Century Restaurant, everyone gathered together to eat happily, and the ancestors and grandchildren of the Ren family sighed with emotion:

"Why bother, these chefs...... Tsk, it's different to look at! ”

After eating, we had our own things, and after everyone left, Ren Xiaoyan asked me: "What are my dad and my grandfather looking for you, do you want you to teach them the dishes?" ”

"That's what it means."

Ren Xiaoyan was in a hurry for an instant, and asked repeatedly: "Then what did you say, did you agree?" ”

"Can you not say yes?" I said helplessly: "One is the future father-in-law, the other is the future uncle, and the other is the future...... If I don't agree, I guess I'll only have the life to elope with you. ”

"If you elope, you will elope, and the recipe will definitely not be given to them!" Ren Xiaoyan said solemnly: "These dishes are the lifeblood of our Century Restaurant, why teach them, and they are not my shop!" She pondered for a moment, and when she spoke again, she already had an idea: "I gave you grandpa's phone number, and you called and said that you regretted it." ”

Me: "...... Do you think it's appropriate? ”

"What's inappropriate?" Ren Xiaoyan said indifferently: "The secret of the industry, even if it is my own restaurant, I can't break the rules, I taught the apprentices to starve the master to death - unless they are willing to hand over the restaurant to me to operate, I will help them make money." ”

I understood now: "You are here for the family property of the entire city A?" I rejoiced, "Is this for me?" ”

Ren Xiaoyan glanced at me: "I am here to show my ability, lest the messy elders in the family, that is, the other shareholders of our restaurant, always say that my brother will inherit the position of general manager, what am I worse than him?" ”

"Angry, I understand......" I spread my hands and said helplessly: "You and your brother have no problem with me, but it's not good for me to break my word and get fat - you just go for a snack, you are a family, you stand on the cusp of the storm and be scolded at most, I want to stand up and definitely offend your whole family, how will this relationship be handled at that time?" ”

Ren Xiaoyan thought about it for a while, and nodded slowly: "That's-" She thought for a while: "Otherwise, how about you make a fake?" ”

"I guess not, people don't know if it's not like eating in their mouths?" I said bluntly: "Actually, I don't think this matter is so mysterious, the chefs are all sent by us, what are you afraid of?" ”

Ren Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows: "You mean we send someone to do the cooking?" ”

"It's not all, just send people to do these dishes," I explained, "The recipes are still in my hands, they can't learn them, and if your dad and grandfather don't agree with our business one day, I'll immediately remove them!" ”

"That's fine...... What did you say just now, do it again! ”

"I mean, one day your dad and your dad don't agree with our business, and I'll ...... immediately."

"Okay, I see—why bother, from this point I suddenly found that you kid has a hand, is it that one day I don't get along with you, and you plan to do this to me?"

"Don't think about it, this must be like this!" I smiled and said, "Who doesn't keep your hand in order to marry a wife, isn't it useless if you abandon me from the beginning?" ”
