The substitute is awakened in verse 39
"Lao Lu, you're not in the company?" Chu Ziyu was full of surprises.
"Nope."
"Ahem, I'll stop by and bring you a box of butterfly crisps by the way." Chu Ziyu sighed, "Now that the rain is pouring down, I am trapped in your company, so I can only solve it by myself, this thing is cold and it tastes different." Then I'll hang upβ"
"Mr. Lu, do you eat spicy food?" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.
Lu Rin turned his head and saw Yan Heqing leaning out of the kitchen.
He wears an apron, black, with a white sheep on top.
The black hair gradually dried, really less curly, and hung down softly on his forehead.
Lu Rin replied, "Don't eat." β
Yan Heqing nodded and went back to the kitchen.
"-" Chu Ziyu screamed on the other end of the phone, "Was it Master Xiao Yan's voice just now?" Definitely! Where the hell are you, Lao Lu? β
Lu Rin moved his phone slightly, "Friend's house." β
"What the hell is going on with you?" Chu Ziyu's desire to gossip reached its peak, "I went to the bar yesterday and heard that Master Xiao Yan resigned, did you ask him to resign?" β
Lu Rin looked at the kitchen, he didn't know that Yan Heqing had resigned.
The last time he was in a bar, he did say, "You're not fit to work in a bar." β
But Lu Rin didn't think that sentence could make Yan Heqing resign, this young man was a very assertive person.
"Alas, are you going to take him to Lao Xie's wedding?" Chu Ziyu was still shouting, "Lao Xie left you a suite, if you don't let him change to a single bed-"
Lu Rin cut off the phone, and the room was finally quiet.
After a while, Yan Heqing came out with a soup pot and a small induction cooker.
The induction cooker was bought second-hand by Yan Heqing at the place where he repaired electrical appliances, and he wiped it clean and bright.
The consommΓ© is filled with evenly sized pork balls, a few slices of tender tomatoes, a few cross mushrooms, and green garlic leaves.
Yan Heqing went back to the kitchen and brought two bowls of rice, two plates of peanut dipping sauce, and a basket of fresh vegetables.
It's a simple hot pot, but it's perfect for winter nights.
"You try pork balls, it's my specialty." Yan Heqing recommended.
Lu Rin is busy with work and alone, and he hasn't eaten hot pot for a long time.
He really sandwiched a pork ball, and when he took a bite, the rich aroma of meat and crisp graininess exploded, and the sweet soup exploded.
Lu Rin chewed carefully, "Lettuce? β
Yan Heqing's eyes were crooked, "Yes, I added a little minced lettuce, and the taste of the balls will be more layered and not too greasy." β
"You're still working in a hotel?" Lu Rin asked logically, although it was a simple small hot pot, Yan Heqing's cooking skills were good.
"It's not a hotel, it's just a home-cooked restaurant on the side of the road." Yan Heqing picked up the bowl and scalded a piece of lettuce, his smile was as translucent as the green lettuce, "I know how to cook basic home-cooked food, and I won't be able to do that kind of high-end dishes and Western food." β
"It doesn't taste good." Lu Rin took a bite of rice and realized that there was ambiguity, he added, "Those so-called high-end creative dishes. β
"I haven't eaten it." Yan He cleaned the raw vegetables, "I will have a chance to taste it once in the future." β
The soup pot was tumbling and gurgling, and the two of them ate quietly and quickly, and they finished eating after a while, Lu Rin ate one bowl, and Yan Heqing ate two bowls.
Lu Rin helped put away the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen, the small kitchen was still clean and organized, and there were a few pots of succulent on the windowsill, which was the best succulent Lu Rin had ever seen.
"Just put the sink in the pool." Yan Heqing came in with a soup pot.
The kitchen was instantly crowded.
Lu Rin put down the bowl and washed it with his hands, there were only two bowls, he was unexpectedly very good at washing dishes, and after washing the dishes, he skillfully took off the dry towel and wiped off the water in the bowl, "You resigned?" β
Yan Heqing looked at the bowl, took out the residue from the pot and poured it into the trash, "Bar?" I quit when I earned enough registration fees to learn to drive, and so did the coffee shop, so I didn't do it before I did. β
After Lu Rin finished wiping the bowl, he reached out to take the soup pot, Yan Heqing hesitated, but handed it over. "I'm in trouble."
Lu Rin brushed the soup pot casually, "I see that you are learning a foreign language, and you are going to go out for further study in the future?" β
Yan Heqing nodded, "Hmm." β
At this time, the sound of the rain was quiet, Lu Rin finished brushing the pot, dried it with a towel again, glanced at it, hung it on the hook by the windowsill, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his fingers one by one, "Thank you for your hospitality, I'll go first." β
Yan Heqing swept his eyes over the red bucket next to the trash can, and suddenly thought of the bait he brewed, "I made some bait, do you want to bring a can to try?" β
Lu Rin really stopped, "What? β
Yan Heqing opened the drawer, took out a clean transparent jar, squatted down to open the bucket, and a smell similar to wine wafted out.
"I made sake lees from sorghum, rice, wheat and yeast, a recipe taught by an old man who fished, I improved it a little, and I haven't experimented with it yet."
Yan Heqing filled a full can, tightened the lid, got up and handed it to Lu Rin, "The bait is sprinkled directly into the water, if you think it is easy to use, I will bring it to you later." β
Lu Rin looked at Yan Heqing for a while, and suddenly said, "I'm 30." β
"Huh?" Yan Heqing's pupils dilated slightly, "What did you say?" β
"Just call you." Lu Rin took the bait, "I'm not that old. β
Lu Rin left.
Yan Heqing stood at the door, and the lights in the corridor turned on and went out again until the footsteps disappeared.
The smile in Yan Heqing's eyes gradually calmed down, he closed the door, returned to the sofa, and clicked on the mobile phone map to search for Songhua Brewing Spring.
Close to the coffee shop and direct to the metro line, only three stops.
He heard the phone call between Lu Rin and Chu Ziyu.
Songhua brewing spring is the location of Xie Yunjie's wedding, and it is also-
Lin Fengzhi stripped naked and went into Lu Rin's room to seduce him.
At this point in time in the original text, there is still a year before Lu Muchi discovers that Lin Feng is in love with Lu Rin.
And this time, Yan Heqing wanted to "help" Lu Muchi and knew in advance.
*
The next morning, Yan Heqing went out at seven o'clock and took the subway to Songhua Brewing Spring first.
Songhua Brewing Spring is the premier five-star hotel in the capital, in addition to the comfortable and luxurious rooms, the food is also extremely famous, which is the black pearl three diamonds.
The hall is extremely antique, and there are rockeries and flowing water, Yan Heqing walked to the front desk and asked politely: "Do you want to recruit temporary workers?" I can do anything. β
The young man was so beautiful that he turned around in his mouth when he refused at the front desk, and she nodded and said, "The back kitchen seems to have a recruitment, let me help you ask?" β
Yan Heqing smiled, "Thank you." β
The front desk picked up the machine and dialed a number, and after a few words, she put down the phone and pointed to the elevator on the left, "You take the elevator to the 3rd floor and find a foreman surnamed Yang." β
Yan Heqing thanked the front desk and walked to the elevator with his feet up, and the front desk saw him enter the elevator before retracting his gaze.
The elevator slowly rises to the 3rd floor, and the door opens to a large cafeteria.
Yan Heqing went out, it was not meal time, the restaurant was very quiet, only a few waiters were cleaning, Yan Heqing judged the direction, walked to the left dining table, and went to the open kitchen, where a woman in uniform came out of it.
The woman was in her early forties and carried a long string of keys.
"Hello." Yan Heqing's gaze swept over the nameplate on the woman's chest, which read Yang Zhen.
guessed that the woman was Foreman Yang, and he said politely: "I'm here to apply." β
Yang Zhen looked at Yan Heqing, "What will you do?" β
"Side dishes can be beaten and cut." Yan Heqing smiled and said, "It can also be carved simply." β
Yang Zhen was a little surprised, this young man looked at the red lips and white skin, and his ten fingers did not touch the spring water, he really understood the work of the back kitchen, she turned around and said, "Follow me." β
She led Yan Heqing into the back kitchen, everyone was preparing lunch in an orderly manner, Yang Zhen walked to the desk and took a carrot to Yan Heqing, "Carving a rose." β
Yan Heqing took it. "Okay."
Bow your head and peel skillfully.
It was also at this time that Yang Zhen saw Yan Heqing's hands, and his blown-out face was like two people, these hands knew at a glance that after the polishing of life, they had not only been stained with Yangchun water, but even soaked in Yangchun water for a long time.
It turned out that Yang Zhen was not mistaken, and soon a lifelike rose took shape in Yan Heqing's palm.
"You're humble." Yang Zhen commented. "It's not a simple carving level, you've worked in the back kitchen for at least five years."
Yan Heqing thought about it, from elementary school to junior high school, he had worked in a small restaurant for more than five years, and he smiled, "Your eyesight is really good." β
Yang Zhen was quite sorry because he guessed correctly, Yan Heqing looked like he had just become an adult, not a few years older than her daughter, but he had a pair of hands of a forty-year-old man.
She shook her head slightly, "We won't recruit temporary workers for the time being, but there is a wedding banquet this Saturday, and there are not enough people, so you can come to help if you want, and the salary will be paid daily." β
Yan Heqing smiled, "Thank you, I'm willing." β
After the application was over, Yan Heqing took the subway back to the coffee shop to work. Weekday mornings are usually busy.
In particular, Yan Heqing will pull out different beautiful colors according to the needs of customers, and customers want him to make coffee, and Yan Heqing is so busy that his feet do not touch the ground.
Zhang Qing is okay, he can register the cashier, and the other male waiter basically has nothing to do, and he is also happy to be lazy, holding a towel to occasionally wipe the table and touch the fish.
At this time, the landline in the store rang, and the male waiter rubbed for a long time, seeing that Yan Heqing and Zhang Qing were busy, and he really didn't have time to answer the phone, so he went over to answer the phone.
"Hello, Light and Shadow Coffee." The waiter lazily took the notebook with the takeout order.
"Hello, a cup of black coffee and a piece of cream cube, delivered to Lu's 81st floor during lunch break."
In the earpiece, the woman's voice was sweet, the same as listening to the song, and the waiter's attitude was immediately better, "No problem, it will be delivered to you soon!" β
At this time, the woman said, "Please send it to Yan Heqing." β
Waiter, "......"
The male waiter was slanderous and reluctant to take over Yan Heqing's work.
Yan Heqing turned a blind eye, made a cup of black coffee, packed a piece of cream cube, and carried it to Lu's to deliver takeaway.
Black coffee and cream cubes, plus Lu's top floor, Yan Heqing knew that it was Lu Rin.
The front desk answered the phone in advance, and politely smiled and led Yan Heqing to Lu Rin's special elevator.
This elevator is on the other side of the hall, and unlike the crowded staff elevator during the lunch break, it doesn't require a card and no one else uses it, and it only takes two minutes to reach the top floor.
The front desk pressed the elevator, and when Yan Heqing entered, the front desk showed a gossipy look.
