1 The tragedy of the little people

"If memory serves, three days ago I was a cook. ”

Bai Huo looked at his strange self in the mirror and had mixed feelings. The silver tunic was spotlessly clean, and the dazzling orbs adorned it made it look like a noble and holy outfit. But why is he wrapped around a cook like himself? Thinking of this, Bai Huo couldn't help but pick up his head and scratch it violently for a while.

"I obviously just want to be a cook!" he shouted silently in his heart, because the former identity of "cook" was already a secret to Bai Huo. It would be bad if someone outside the door heard it......

Three days ago.

In such an ordinary day when the wind is light, the wind is beautiful, the wind blows the grass is low, but there are no cattle and sheep, the crazy white work still came to the "Oriental Tea Restaurant" in a hurry. When he saw the boss standing at the kitchen door with an angry face, he unconsciously "clicked" in his heart and braked urgently in front of the boss.

"I'm only eight minutes late! I'm tired from riding a bike! How do you know how hard it is if you don't ride! You're late for riding!" he roared inwardly, but he tried to squeeze out a courteous smile on his face.

"The owner...... Half of this month's salary has been deducted, you see......" Bai Huo wiped his sweat and rubbed his hands while looking at the boss with a smile, but the boss's face was still surrounded by anger from the pile of meat. Bai Huo rolled his eyes widely, and a wave of cowardice approached the nerve center from the bottom up, but after looking around, he still gave up hugging the boss's thigh like last time and crying dad and shouting at his mother...... After all, it was past breakfast time when I was late last time, and the land was vast and sparsely populated, and now if I hug the boss's thigh, I am afraid that I will be caught by the aunts and aunts with red armbands at the table at the door and hold a criticism meeting to commend the aunts of the neighborhood committee for their great achievements in the recent anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities.

Bai Huo has no father, no mother, no wife, no house and no car, and most of the neighbors recognize him because of his handsome appearance and those extremely incompatible obscene behaviors, such as urinating everywhere. In addition, the only one who can prove the existence of Bai is Ah Fu, who has been in bed with him for many years and is also an orphan. Despite this, being criticized by the aunt of the neighborhood committee in turn, his heart still can't accept it. Because in that way, the beautiful girl next door will know, the parents of the next door will also know, and the parents of the next door will know, and the parents of the next door will know, and there will be a reason for Sister to never see Bai Huo again, if Sister really doesn't see him again one day, then Bai Huo will feel that he has lived in vain for the past 19 years.

"Look...... Or...... Or deduct the next month's salary. Bai Huo pursed his lips, wiped the sweat from his forehead, stared at his hopeful eyes, looked at the boss with affection, and folded his hands.

The boss's brow furrowed! Is this the legendary rain and sunny weather? Or is it the calm before the storm as the saying goes? A smile froze on his face, and he watched the boss open his two sausage lips frame by frame. Is it appeasement, is it cursing? Bai Huo took a deep breath.

I saw that the boss grabbed his hand, his eyes bloomed with tenderness, and he looked sad when Qianlong said goodbye to Xia Yuhe. The boss's conscience found that common sense said, no. The boss is possessed? Science says no. Is the boss brain-dead? I don't know.

Time passed millisecond by millisecond, and Bai Huo felt that everything around him was like a picture after the DVD player pressed the slow play button. "Bai Huo, you take this money. ”

As soon as the boss's words fell, Bai Huo found that while the boss shook his hand just now, he stuffed two hundred-yuan tickets into his palm. "What are you doing? Pay me back if I'm late? Forget about giving money, I'll give me 200 at once, which is a week's salary." Of course, these words did not dare to be said in vain. If the boss is really brainless, it can be regarded as a bargain. After all, the boss usually treats him badly, and he doesn't take advantage of it.

"That's your salary for the next week, and it's going to be the breakup fee we paid you. The boss's voice was still gentle, and with that face full of meat, it sounded like goosebumps all over the body.

However, it's not the same for Bai Huo. From the small surprise that he had just received the 200 yuan bill, he was torn out, followed by another thunderbolt from the sky. Such a result was unexpected for him.

On a normal day, he was usually late, and the boss was usually waiting for him at the kitchen door with an angry face...... However, this is the end of the usual drama. The boss gave him 200 yuan and dismissed him without saying a word. It seemed incredible to him.

Although he knows that he is late every day, he often lazily dozes off during work...... But after all, he is still an excellent cook, and he is still recognized as a good cook. Everyone who has visited Oriental Tea Restaurant will remember the taste of the food he cooked. In particular, the "Eight Desolations and Six Combinations" created by him has attracted countless people to smell the fragrance and leave the fragrance. The reason why the Oriental Tea Restaurant has gone from a crowd to a city is also due to this.

But today, the boss actually told him to "break up" and want to fire him.

"Why?" This time, Chang Bai Huo shook the boss's hand, "Why did you break up with me? Why......? Every time the heroine or actor is proposed to "break up" by the other party, isn't the other party's response just as it should be. He is deeply involved in the play, completely ignoring the fact that he and his boss are both men. "Why, why did you tell me to break up?"

The eyes of the crowd have converged from all directions, as if countless magnesium lights are projected from all sides of the stage to the center of the stage. And the protagonists in the center of the stage, one is Bai Huo, and the other is the boss who is tightly held by him.

The boss tried his best to break free of Bai Huo's hands, and shouted loudly in his mouth, "You go, you go! Don't come to our store in the future! I have already given you money! Don't pester me in the future!"

Bai Huo can get a salary of 800 yuan a month in the Oriental Tea Restaurant, and counting the small tips, it adds up to only 900. But for him, even so, he is willing to work as a cook in the Oriental Tea Restaurant all the time. Even if this is always a small shop, even the business license is more than a gourd to draw a scoop, and I found a sketcher on the street with a watercolor pen.

So what makes Bai Huo reluctant to give up on this place? According to his own words, it should be a sense of existence.

Fatherless and motherless since childhood, he grew up with Ah Fu, who was also an orphan, and lived in a small house with one bathroom and one room for hard work and frugality. If you die one day, I'm afraid that you won't be able to find a third person except Ah Fu and Ah Mei, the beautiful girl next door, right? In fact, even Ah Mei is choking enough, and part of the reason for counting her is because Bai Huo owes her dozens of dollars, and if Bai Huo dies, she will die and be in debt, and she will lose money.

That's how you live in this world, without a sense of existence. When a chef cooks for people to eat, it is a matter of course, and the best way to find a sense of presence is to do so. When you see someone stuff the last grain of rice in a bowl into your mouth, it's ...... It's as cool as kissing a girl. Of course, Bai Huo, who has zero emotional experience, just imagined what it was like to kiss a girl, but just thinking about it was already very cool.

"Get out of here!"

With the boss's categorical order, Bai Huo was like a rabbit after being abused, and the others who were called by the boss were thrown outside the door of the hotel.

Like a stone falling into the water, the crowd is like a faint ripple retreating and spreading outward, encircling Bai Huo in the middle of three circles inside and three times outside, sighing constantly.

"This guy must have stolen the boss's money. ”

"I heard that he is a fugitive, he was discovered by the boss, and the police will be coming in a moment!"

"This little guy is very handsome, he doesn't look like a bad guy. ”

......

In the midst of the discussion, Bai Huo staggered up from the ground, raised his head high, and looked at the five big characters painted with red paint on the old plaque - "Dongwan Tea and Food"...... Before I knew it, I was in tears.

The boss, who had just finished cleaning the portal, returned to his room. This small office of less than five square meters is unusually shabby, with a mountain of waste paper scattered all over the place.

The boss checked the lock again until he was sure that it was indeed tightly locked, and then leaned his back against the door and breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead and cheeks, and couldn't wait to pull out an A4-sized yellow envelope from his jacket pocket. After making sure that there was no one around, he carefully tore it along a corner and took out the "treasures" inside one by one.

The yellow envelope scattered into the pile of waste paper on the ground, and the "treasure" inside made the boss's eyes glow red - ten glittering gold bricks.

"It's out...... It's enough to sell these and buy a daughter-in-law to go home!" the boss proudly held them in his arms, fluttering like a fairy. "Today's young people are really getting richer and richer, and it's not good to spend money to buy others, and buy others to resign. Ah Huo, don't blame the boss, if you want to blame, blame those two rich people, use money to bully people!" The boss giggled, enjoying the joy of the pie falling from the sky.
