The sun is getting cooler, the lights are getting up, Wu Hong is lying on the small bed, quietly thinking, although the reality is very unsatisfactory, but he is already desperate in his heart? It is far from it, I am only fifteen this year, even if I wait until fifty years old, I will not give up!

The sun urges people to get up, a new day is coming, as usual I always get up and shout the sun, looking at the stone road in front of the store in the faint light in the faint fog like jade, not beautiful is the garbage left yesterday, tighten the guy in his hand, you have to quickly sweep away the garbage, otherwise you will be scolded by the boss.

"Oh, my life, my ideals. ”

"Xiao Wu don't hurry up, the head wave guests are coming soon, and then go to the kitchen to help after sweeping, I don't raise idlers." ”

Silently swept with his head down, complaining in his heart about the shopkeeper and complaining about the reality, life is really not easy!

Looking at the busy appearance of the cooks in the kitchen, I picked up a cucumber from the side and stuffed it into my mouth, I have been familiar with the people in the kitchen for three years, while greeting them, I walked towards the guy, the guy's surname is Li, I like to call him Brother Li, Brother Li really gives people the first impression of doing the kitchen, because he has a big head and a thick neck and a standard big fat man, no matter how you look at it, it is eaten, and when I was still thinking about it, Brother Li greeted him and called over.

"You stinky boy, you steal food when you come over and don't do anything, no wonder we have such a big hole in the kitchen every month, it turns out that it was eaten by your kid. ”

"Brother Li really likes to joke that I am standing with Brother Li, do you need to say who eats it?"

Several cooks not far from Brother Li suddenly laughed, and interjected: "This Xiao Wu is right, the little oil and water on weekdays are eaten by Li Tou." ”

"Go, go, I'll talk to my brother about what you are talking about, it's not good to do things, and you will be busy in the morning. Xiao Wu, there are important people coming today, so if you are busy, you can help when you look at where you can't get busy, and when you are done, Brother Li will personally fry a dish for you, which is not much better than eating steamed buns every morning. ”

"Then thank you Brother Li in advance, but which important person is coming today?"

"He Jiahe Dashao. ”

"Doesn't he come here several times a month? Why is it different today?"

"The point is that there are bigger guests today. ”

"Is it bigger? Could it be that Lu, He, Chen, and Yang are here for a party today?"

"That's not it, it's the pearl of the Wang family and the head of the Wang family who were invited today. ”

"Is it He Dashao's fiancée, the pearl of the Wang family, the largest household in the city, the goddess in the dreams of thousands of men, known as Wang Mengxian of mortal fairies?"

"Well, Miss Wang is naturally beautiful, some people said that she was the first beauty in the city when she was ** years old, and it seems that she should be more beautiful and moving at the age of fourteen this year, but she is not He Dashao's fiancée. ”

"Isn't it?

"Those are just good things arranged by people, but after today, maybe it will come true, I heard that the He family invited the Wang family today for this matter, but it's a pity that such a beautiful flower is inserted into his He Dashao's pile of cow dung? ”

"Brother Li, then I'll go and get busy first. "Once Brother Li complains, it will be endless, cherish life and stay away from Brother Li.

"Alas, Xiao Wu, brother, I almost forgot about the serious thing when I sighed with this emotion, you have to go to serve the food today, and you will have the opportunity to meet Miss Wang." ”

"Oh, I know, it won't be anything if I see it, then if Brother Li is okay, I'll help. ”

"Xiao Wu, don't say that my brother is not righteous, please eat beef and drink Baihua jade stuffed tonight, don't tell others. Brother Li whispered in my ear.

"Brother Li, where did you get these good things?" I asked in a low voice.

"As soon as today passes, the fairy in my brother's heart will be famous, and my brother is not happy, so I have to use the He family's wine and the He family's meat to make up for the emptiness in my heart. ”

"Oh, I see, then I'll go. "Regardless of whether it has passed today or not, the pearl of the Wang family is not something you and I can worry about, of course, these words will not be said in front of Brother Li, even Brother Li knows.

didn't take a few steps, and Brother Li's voice came from behind him, "Brother, I am grateful to you for my dedication today!"

As soon as he heard Brother Li's words, he covered up, shook his hand with his back to him and left. ”

Just as he was about to leave the kitchen, he heard the cook's Ah Rong shouting to himself: "Xiao Wu is here for some trouble, I need to trouble you." ”

Passed through a few people and came to Ah Rong's side, "What's the matter?"

"Tailor Chen of the Chen Ji Tailor Shop across the river ordered a few dishes, just happened to send them to you, I usually go by myself, and I will trouble you if I can't get out of my way today. ”

"Has anyone come to order a meal so early?"

"This tailor Chen is fifty or sixty years old and lives with his nephew, widowed in the early years, and has no children under his knees, these years he is afraid that his craft will be lost after his death, so he will take his nephew to learn his own craft, and he will take over his own class in the future, but this master can't cook, so three meals a day are eaten outside, and every month they come early to set a month's meal, and every day they will send it as long as they are done. ”

"Okay, then I'll go. ”

When I came to the tailor's shop, I saw that Tailor Feng's nephew was waiting outside, so I handed him the meal, took the money, and went out of the shop to see a shop opposite the shop, and I didn't care, but the couplet on the door was so arrogant that people didn't care, and I saw that the couplet was: "Hongchen I mortals are like dogs." The next link is: "Proud of the world, only immortals and true heroes." Horizontal criticism: "Don't come if you're not an immortal." ”

I can't help but be curious, and I want to see what the store is like for non-immortals. When I entered the restaurant, I saw rows of medicine cabinets, all of which were written about medicinal materials that I had never heard of, and some of them had heard some diners mention them in the restaurant, but they were all elixirs that were only used by the sages, and when I saw the rows of medicine cabinets but there was no one in sight, I shouted: "Is there anyone? Is the boss there?" shouted a few times and no one answered, and when he was about to leave, he heard an answer from behind him.

"Who? What kind of medicine do you want for disturbing dreams in the early morning?" came an old man from under the counter, sleepy-eyed, and never even opened his eyes. ”

"Boss, I don't buy medicine, I'm just curious to come in and have a look. ”

"Why are you coming in without medicine? This is not a place for mortals. This time, the boss opened his eyes and looked at them, but they closed them again for a moment.

"Do you dare to ask the boss if he is a cultivator?"

"Naturally. The old man said proudly.

"Ask my uncle to accept me as a disciple and pass on my method of entering the Tao." "When I finally saw the cultivator again, I didn't have to think about it, and my first thought was to apprentice.

Wu Hong knelt down, lowered his head, and behaved very sincerely, the boss looked at Wu Hong for a while, as if he had thought of something, and then said angrily: "You give me out, you mortals still want to become cultivators? Don't be delusional, I won't accept you as an apprentice, get out of my shop, and don't go further in the future." ”

Wu Hong wanted to say something, but was picked up and thrown outside the store by a huge force, but Wu Hong was not angry, but was overjoyed, seeing him answer so calmly before, there was still a trace of doubt in his heart, and now it is certain that this person is really a cultivator.

Wu Hong, who was thrown outside, was not discouraged and knelt down in front of the door. "I also hope that my seniors will accept me as an apprentice and teach me the Tao, and the younger generations will bow here first. ”

"Didn't you tell you to get out, where did you come from, go back, don't make trouble here, it's annoying to see it. ”

"If you go back to the seniors, the younger generations are the running halls of the restaurants in the city, and they are bent on seeking the Tao, not to make trouble, if the seniors think I am annoying, take me as an apprentice, so that I will not kneel here to annoy you. ”

"Is your boss called Zhou Dagui?"

"It turns out that the seniors recognize our boss, I wonder if the seniors can accept me as an apprentice in the face of our boss?"

"I said that who dares to come to me to make trouble, it turned out that he was instigated by Zhou Dagui's house, boy, I might as well tell you directly, I already know your purpose, you don't have to pretend anymore, go back and tell your boss, just say that the old man Wang Tong Wang went to drink with him tonight. ”

"The seniors and juniors are delivering food to the tailor shop opposite, but they happened to see the lianzi in the senior's store and came in with curiosity, and found that the seniors were the masters of the world, and they wanted to worship the seniors as teachers. ”

"Little calf, let me tell you, what you said happened I didn't believe it at all, it must have been your boss who told you, your boss is also a cultivator, don't you know?"

"The younger generation really doesn't know, and what he says is indeed true"

"Okay, don't ramble here anymore, go back quickly, I want to apprentice to your boss, and I won't be spared if I come back to bother. ”

Wu Hong wanted to say more, but after the old man said, a pit the size of a human head appeared in front of Wu Hong kneeling on the ground, and it appeared silently.

On the way back to the restaurant, Wu Hong moved his mind again, and was inevitably a little disappointed when he was rejected, of course, he has been used to it all these years, and this time there is a chance, Boss Zhou is also a sage, this is really surprising, I have to beg the boss.

It took about an hour from going out to coming back, and since it wasn't too busy now, I went to the back kitchen first.

Although it is not yet a meal, the kitchen is still busy preparing dishes, and there are too many things needed for the noon banquet, so I didn't see Brother Li in the kitchen, and asked the chef that he went to the backyard to slaughter cattle.

When I came to the backyard, I saw a cow fall to the ground, and there were five or six people standing next to him to help, Brother Li's figure was not inferior to the cowboy on the ground, and before he got closer, he saw Brother Li cutting meat on the cow with a knife, and distributed five or six pieces to everyone one by one, and there were words in his mouth: "My old Li is a kind man, today they have such a big pomp and circumstance in the He family, these things are rare on weekdays, they are all eaten by the best people, I know that the brothers are panicked when they see the gluttony, and they go back to their mother-in-law and children to taste one by one." After saying that, I didn't forget to leave a piece for myself.

"Ahem, Li Furen, what are you doing here?"

Brother Li was startled, his hand trembled, and he almost shook the meat on his hand to the ground, and when he looked back, he was relieved to find that it was me, and the hand holding the knife patted his chest with the back of the knife, and exhaled.

"Don't laugh, you carry this cow to the kitchen first, and I'll talk to Xiao Wu. ”

"Huh, I said Xiao Wu, you want to scare people to death, this meat almost fell to the ground, it depends on what you eat at night. ”

"Isn't it gone, I didn't expect your brother Li to be so afraid of the boss. ”

"By the way, you weren't here just now, Li Wei came to look for you, and I asked him to come and drink together at night. ”

Did Li Wei come back so soon? I don't know what happened at home.
