Chapter 7: Lu Fan and the Fat Man

"You promised to pick up the medicine?"

Duanmu Xue was pleasantly surprised, she was already hopeless, she was not stupid, how could she not hear that Lu Fan was perfunctory to her before, but she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Unexpectedly, Lu Fan suddenly came to her again, saying that he was willing to go to the mountains and forests with them to collect medicine, although she didn't know what caused Lu Fan to change his mind, but this was obviously a good thing.

For a moment, she seemed to feel that a lot of money was flying around her, and her eyes were shining with gold.

"I have a few conditions, though. "Wait for Duanmu Xue to be less excited, Lu Fan said.

"No problem, just say it!" Duanmu Xue waved his small hand and said proudly.

"I need a good pair of soft armor, and ten taels of silver, and finally, help me get the things in here, I need to use them. Lu Fan handed over a few pieces of paper full of words.

"Okay, I'll go and prepare it right away, here are ten taels of silver, you can take it." ”

Duanmu Xue didn't even look at it, put the paper in her pocket, took out ten taels of silver and stuffed it into Lu Fan's hand, and left in a hurry.

Lu Fan looked at Duanmu Xue's back, weighed the silver in his hand, and smiled bitterly, a rich man is a rich man, and he has so much money in his pocket casually, if the purchasing power of gold and silver in this world is very strong, ten taels of silver is already equivalent to 100,000 yuan on the earth.

With the silver in hand, Lu Fan walked outside the school, and after leaving the school, he crossed several streets, turned into an alley, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated house.

This is the home of the fat man, the fat man was originally from Qingyang City, this house was left by his parents, and his parents, when he was eight years old, died in an accident, leaving him and a five-year-old sister to rely on each other.

Over the years, in order to support himself and his sister, the fat man has suffered a lot, it can be said that he has been secretly abducted, of course, many others have been caught, but fortunately, others have taken pity on their brothers and sisters, and they are generally not embarrassed, but the life of the two is still very difficult.

The fat man also wanted to go over and beg, but the irony is that no matter how difficult the days were, he was always so fat that others didn't believe that he had no food at all, so the path of begging was different.

When he was ten years old, the fat man accidentally knew that the back kitchen of the school recruited miscellaneous servants, and the fat man also wanted to go, but the work of the school has always been sought after by many people in Qingyang City, and the fat man has no advantage at all.

In the end, the fat man had no choice, he kept kowtowing to the recruiters in front of everyone, dyeing the floor red, and finally the old man was soft-hearted and decided to give him a chance to temporarily enter the back kitchen as a handyman.

The back kitchen of the school is not quite the same as other places, it is responsible for the food of the whole school, especially the meals related to the students and gentlemen, some of which are very important medicinal meals, and there is no room for the slightest mistake in the preparation process, so the requirements for miscellaneous servants are especially high.

So although the fat man can enter the back kitchen for the time being, when he is ten years old, what does he know? Whether it is knife skills, heat, matching, or understanding of pharmacology, he does not understand anything, so after a few days of entering the back kitchen, he is in a state of condition, and the medicinal dietetic master of the back kitchen chef is very angry, and threatens to make a bastard if he makes another mistake.

So after making another mistake, accompanied by the roar of the medicine master, the fat man escaped from the back kitchen in embarrassment, and finally hid in a corner of the school, not daring to go home.

He didn't dare to go back to face his sister, because she had always regarded him as a hero, especially after knowing that he could enter the academy to work, and even more admired.

Every day his sister would carefully fold his handyman suit and send him out, and now he didn't dare go back and tell her that he had messed it all up.

Thinking of his own incompetence and his sister's disappointed expression, the fat man, who didn't even cry when he heard the news of his parents' death, finally cried bitterly.

The fat man actually just wanted to find a place where no one was there to vent his grievances for two years, so he hid in this corner, but when he cried more and more, he suddenly heard a voice.

"Hey, fatty, what are you crying about?"

The fat man looked up and saw a window open in the dilapidated house next to him, and a child about his age was looking at him calmly.

This was the first encounter between the fat man and Lu Fan.

I don't know why, maybe it's because the other party is his own age, maybe it's because of that calm expression, or because he was seen crying, anyway, as soon as the fat man's brain was hot, he told Lu Fan everything about himself.

Lu Fan calmly listened to the fat man's story, thought for a while, and then asked the fat man to follow him.

Although the fat man didn't know why, he had nowhere to go anyway, so he followed behind Lu Fan.

Lu Fan took the fat man to the back kitchen, pleaded with the medicine master, and gave the fat man another chance, originally the medicine master wanted to get angry when he saw the fat man, but because of Lu Fan's intercession, he decided to give him one last chance.

The reason is that Master Medicine once owed Lu Fan a favor, which is actually not a big deal, that is, Lu Fan once told him some of the methods he knew about the preparation of earthly cuisine, but Master Medicine was like a treasure, which made his level of making medicinal food improve a lot.

Because of this favor, the fat man was able to continue to stay in the back kitchen, but the medicine master also said first, if the fat man made a mistake again, then no one's face would be useless.

Lu Fan said of course, but he hoped to give the fat man three days, and the fat man would come back in three days, and if he still made a mistake at that time, he didn't need to rush, and the fat man would leave consciously.

Since they have decided to give the fat man a chance, he doesn't care about the past three days, and the medicine master agreed.

After the agreement, Lu Fan took the fat man away, and during the whole process, the fat man couldn't say a word, he just looked at this child who was about the same age as him in shock, and talked to the medicine master very calmly, pleading for him, which was unimaginable in his opinion.

After arriving at the hut where Lu Fan lived, the fat man couldn't help it, he didn't know what way could allow him to learn the basic skills necessary for the kitchen in three days, so he began to ask Lu Fan.

Lu Fan did not answer directly, but took out a few books from the house and threw them in front of him, telling him to memorize them within three days, and if he didn't understand, he could ask him.

At that time, the fat man was dumbfounded, he never expected that Lu Fan's method was actually this, it was impossible at all.

But then Lu Fan said a word that left him speechless, besides desperately, did he have any other way?

These words woke up the fat man, he didn't say a word, picked up the book and memorized it, there were many words he didn't recognize, so he went to ask Lu Fan.

In the end, he memorized those books within three days, barely got the approval of the medicine master, and finally slowly gained a firm foothold in the back kitchen.

Actually, the fat man was lucky, due to the pressure of death, Lu Fan's personality was withdrawn and cold during that time, if he usually wouldn't care about this idle matter, it was the fat man's matter that touched him, and finally decided to help him.

However, this is also Lu Fan's luck, since he met the two fat brothers and sisters, the persistence and optimism of the two of them have been infecting him, and Lu Fan's personality has slowly returned to normal.

Standing in front of the house, Lu Fan did not hesitate, pushed the door directly, and after entering, there was a small courtyard, a small figure wearing a gray and white linen coat, bending over to wash clothes, soft and weak, it was the fat man's sister Xiaoling.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Ling turned around and exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Xiaofan, you are here!"

Xiao Ling's body is relatively small, her face is a little pale, because she was often hungry when she was a child, her body bones are relatively weak, of course, no matter how weak she is, she is much stronger than Lu Fan before.

"Well, what about the fat man?"

"My brother hasn't come back yet, you can sit down for a while, you haven't come to see me much recently. Xiaoling didn't even wash her clothes, and hurriedly pulled Lu Fan into the house, pouting and complaining.

"I'm sorry, I've been busy lately and don't have time to come. Lu Fan was apologetic, Xiaoling didn't have any playmates, and only the fat man and Lu Fan had been playing with her all along.

"It's okay, I know Brother Xiaofan, you've been busy with your body lately, can you take me to play when you're well?" Xiao Ling has always been very understanding, she knows in her heart that the two brothers have been working hard, and I don't know how many of them are compelled to do so.

"My body is fine for the time being, and I have to explain to your brother this time. ”

Hearing Lu Fan say that her body was fine, Xiao Ling's eyes widened, and when she was about to ask in detail, the door was suddenly pushed open again, and the fat man walked in, still holding a piece of meat in his hand, and at the same time, the big voice also sounded: "Xiao Ling, I'm back, look what I brought back for you......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Fan and said in surprise: "Xiaofan, you are here, so that piece of yuan meat is really useful?"

Seeing Lu Fan nodded, the fat man suddenly jumped up with joy.
