Chapter 26: Lu Ziye
"Go back to the pot and fill three parts of the claws, one part of the dry fragrant tongue, and three parts of the vegetarian roasted begonia!" came from outside, and the front desk guy was familiar with the high-pitched sound of passing the dishes.
Bi Cheng habitually reached out to take the side dishes on the stove, and as soon as his fingers touched the edge of the plate, the side dishes were taken away first, and Bi Cheng's outstretched hand took it empty.
He raised his head and saw that it was Master Qu's eldest apprentice on the stove next door who was serving the side dishes.
Man Lu was holding the side dishes prepared for Bi Cheng in his hand, and when he saw Bi Cheng looking at it, he quickly smiled.
"I'm sorry, Chef Bi, the guests ordered all the dishes cooked by my master today, and our master of side dishes over there couldn't be busy. You are idle when you are idle, my master will take it and use it first!" After speaking, without waiting for Bi Cheng to nod, he opened the curtain and went into the stove room next door.
The moment the curtain was lowered, the smile on Manlu's face was replaced with contempt, and he snorted low at the curtain.
Bi Cheng looked down at the cold pot and cold stove in front of him, and only then did he realize that he had barely fired at noon.
Today's guests ordered all of Chef Qu's dishes.
The situation in front of him that was completely reversed from yesterday made Yan Yan's smiling face appear in Bi Cheng's mind again.
Suddenly feeling the dryness in his chest heavier, Bi Cheng threw the hand towel on his shoulder on the stove and strode out of the stove room.
This time of day in the lobby is the busiest time, the sound of the collision of the wrying spoon and spatula, the shouting of the people who run the hall, and the laughter and scolding of the guests...... It's all in full swing.
In contrast, the tranquility of the backyard is particularly bleak.
Bi Cheng sat alone on the edge of the well, his elbows propped up on his knees, his head bowed, and his mind was a little confused.
Yesterday was fine, the old customers almost all ordered his fried dishes, and even the guys looked at him with respect and obedience in the face of the chef.
It's only been one night, how did it all change?
A smile unconsciously appeared in his mind......
What a wicked woman this woman is!
"Miss me?" Qingling's delicate voice came from behind.
Bi Cheng turned around abruptly, facing Shang Yanyan's eyes with a smile on his face.
He blushed suddenly, like a child who had been caught stealing candy.
It is the most embarrassing to be unprepared to be debunked.
Yan Yan didn't come to see his jokes, he only turned a blind eye to the man's red face, walked past him and left a sentence: "Come with me." Then he pushed the door open and entered one of the rooms.
Bi Cheng, who was following behind, was stunned and didn't follow up: "That is not the house where I rest." ”
Yan Yan looked back at Bi Cheng, his eyes seemed to be looking at an idiot: "What am I doing in your house." ”
Bi Cheng: "......" blushed even more.
This girl's brain is too fast, he can't keep up.
However, Bi Cheng also reacted immediately, Yan Yan was going to go in to find evidence. Although he was loyal, he was not stupid, and quickly followed.
There are only two rattan beds in the room, which are used by Chef Qu for his lunch break, as well as a square table and two wooden stools.
Yan Yan walked to one of the rattan beds, bent down and touched under the bed for a while, and dragged out a small wooden box, the small copper lock on the wooden box was bright and shiny, and it was often used by people at a glance.
Yan Yan took out the key from the embroidery bag on his waist, poked it into the lock hole, and the lock opened.
"How do you have the key to someone's lock?" Bi Cheng's eyes widened in surprise.
Yan Yan only cared about rummaging in the wooden box, and didn't raise his head: "Pancreas." ”
Bi Cheng: "......"
The road is so wild, what the hell is this girl doing?
Yan Yan flipped through it and found a small paper bag and threw it to Bi Cheng.
Bi Cheng opened it and looked at it, and twisted his eyebrows: "This is Xin Mu Powder, which is used as a seasoning, and I also commonly use it when cooking." ”
"Of course I know it's spicy wood powder. Yan Yan glared back.
Bi Cheng was glared at by her and immediately understood. Chef Qu locked up this ordinary condiment so carefully, there must be a secret.
When he pondered, Yan Yan had already locked the box again, pushed it back into its original position, and even the indentations of the mattress sheet were carefully smoothed, and he got up and walked out.
Out of the room, Yan Yan walked towards the back door of the wine shop, didn't hear footsteps behind him, and looked back, but saw Bi Cheng still standing in the courtyard.
"Come on, what are you doing standing?"
Bi Cheng frowned: "I haven't finished work yet." ”
Yan Yan smiled: "I said Chef Bi, you've been out for so long, but someone called you to go back and cook?"
Bi Cheng lowered his eyes: "Even if no guests order me to cook, I can't leave, this is the rule of the wine shop." ”
Yan Yan turned back, stood still in front of Bi Cheng, and looked at him with clear eyes: "It's right to obey the rules, but have you ever thought that since the other party can use such shady means to get to the top, it is enough to show that this person is of despicable quality, and this kind of person usually has no mind." If this person is a chef, how can you continue to work here?"
Bi Cheng didn't say anything.
Seeing that he was silent, Yan Yan patiently gave him a careful analysis of the situation in front of him.
"You are also a little famous in Haoyuan Building, if the competition fails, not only will there be no room for you here, but this Chef Qu is likely to incite the entire kitchen store to boycott you. ”
"As long as you have the opportunity to cook, everyone is in the same city, and sooner or later his cheating will be exposed, because it is a fact that you cook better food than him. So he will definitely not give you a chance to punch him in the face. ”
"What about Ke Juan'er? Her health is not good, and she needs to keep taking medicine to recuperate. She can't see, and if you want to set up a food stall, you must go with her to help, and you can't bear to let her suffer like that?"
The last sentence was like a spike, and it hit the softest place in Bi Cheng's heart, and his always tough and tough expression immediately became tangled and painful.
"But if I'm gone, I'm going to lose my job right away, and the result is not the same as losing the competition. Bi Cheng's hands at his side were clenched into fists, and there was deep despair in his eyes.
Yan Yan looked at him quietly, and suddenly asked, "You have evidence in your hand now, why don't you take the evidence to your owner to complain?"
Bi Cheng snorted coldly: "Even if this thing is sent to the owner, how can it be proved that it is his, and the owner will still think that I can't compete and want to frame others." ”
Yan Yan smiled and looked at his head with satisfaction: "Well, the brain is not stupid, and the child can be taught." ”
Bi Cheng habitually wrinkled his eyebrows.
Yan Yan was younger than him, but he always talked to him like a child, which made Bi Cheng a little uncomfortable, frowning and looking at her: "Do you really have a way to help me?"
Yan Yan smiled brightly: "Apprentice!"
Bi Cheng was very depressed: "You don't know how to cook, why do you have to ask me to apprentice?"
Yan Yan glanced at him with a smile, didn't bother to say anything, turned around and left.
Seeing that she was annoyed, Bi Cheng was a little panicked, and hurriedly chased after her: "Okay, I'll apprentice, but you can't deceive me." ”
Yan Yan glanced at him: "You are up and down, apart from you, what else is worth deceiving me?"
Bi Cheng: "......"
It made sense, but he was speechless.
As for himself as a person...... Bi Cheng quietly looked sideways at Yan Yan who was walking beside him.
The girl is still clear-eyed, walking on the crowded streets, with a maverick temperament, not outstanding, but definitely not to be ignored.
Although Bi Cheng still hasn't figured out what the meaning of this girl who suddenly appeared in his peaceful life is.
But he just had a feeling that this girl was not bad.
Then again, why does such a brilliant woman have to have anything to do with him, a cook?
