Rebirth's Private Kitchen

Three days later, Tang Lin was discharged from the hospital and went home with Su Zhi. He stayed at Tang's house for two days before being kicked out by Mr. Tang.

All the way to Linshui City, after getting off the plane, Tang Lin looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Linshui Airport, thinking that he had returned to the time when Linshui participated in the competition, but his mood at that time was completely different from now.

Seeing that Tang Lin suddenly stopped moving, Su Zhi worriedly turned around and massaged his right hand, and asked anxiously, "Does your hand hurt again?"

"No, I'm just feeling emotional." Tang Lin patted Su Zhi's hand, smiled and shook his head.

During this time, Tang Lin's right hand has been able to move quite freely, and it won't fall off when holding some small objects. However, there will always be pain for a while. The hospital said that this may be a temporary sequelae, so we can only do more fingers. Rehabilitation minimizes pain.

The employees of Su Zhi's branch had already driven the car over. Su Zhi and Tang Lin got into the car and followed the first address given by Mr. Tang to find it.

The first address was a very ordinary residential area, and their car couldn't drive there. Tang Lin and Su Zhi got out of the car at the intersection of the small road and asked the driver to go back first.Mr. Tang has already said that Tang Linsuzhi's residence is at the home of his juniors, and he can just bring his luggage there.

Going forward from the intersection, turning a corner is a very high slope. Su Zhi helped Tang Lin go up slowly, and there were some old ladies and old men in sportswear coming and going.As he went up the slope, Tang Lin could smell the aroma of stewed sweet potatoes. It was already autumn, and the weather was cool and pleasant. Eating a stewed sweet potato was also warm.

"Let's go buy some stewed sweet potatoes." Tang Lin suddenly said with interest, and without waiting for Su Zhi's answer, he dragged him to the car of the old man who bought stewed sweet potatoes.

"You guys are so fresh, did you come to our place to find relatives and friends?" The old man was a very familiar person, chatting with them while helping him pick up big sweet potatoes.

"Yes, we're here to find Grandpa's friend." Tang Lin took a simmered sweet potato handed over by the old man, peeled the skin and blew it a few times, and brought the steaming sweet potato to Su Zhi.

After Su Zhi took a bite, Tang Lin took it back and ate it. A sweet potato was eaten in a short time.

The old man didn't look surprised when he saw the closeness of the two men. He has been in business for so many years, and no one has seen it. This is not the first time he has seen a male and female couple.

The old man packed the remaining sweet potatoes into a bag, and when he handed them to Tang Lin, he still smiled and said, "You two have such a good relationship. Remember to eat these sweet potatoes while they are hot after you take them back. They will not taste good when they are cold. .”

"Ok."

Tang Lin thanked the old man, and led Su Zhi to continue walking towards the first address.The residential buildings here are neatly arranged in two rows, some are high and some are low, some are old and some are new.At the door of some buildings, women can still be seen chatting together, and in front of them are children running around in twos and threes. After walking for a while, you can still hear the voices of neighbors calling each other.

This is a very lively street.

Tang Lin and Su Zhi checked the address, looked at the road signs and asked people, and after walking for ten minutes, they finally found their destination.Tang Lin and Su Zhi looked at each other, then turned their eyes back to the shop in front of them.Yes, the shop, a small restaurant without a signboard, but there are many customers coming and going, and it smells like rice and coriander.

Tang Lin and Su Zhi got closer, and through the open door, they could still hear the lively chatter inside.They were confused for a moment, and when they were wondering if they had found the wrong place, someone grabbed Tang Lin's clothes from behind.When Tang Lin turned his head, what he saw was a child who only reached his knees, and an embarrassed woman behind the child.

The woman should be the child's mother, she quickly picked up the child, and said to Tang Lin apologetically, "Hey, brother, I'm sorry, he just wants you to let him go, he just wants to pass."

"Ah, I'm sorry." Tang Lin nodded, distanced himself from Su Zhi, and gave way to the mother and son to enter the door.

The child's mother smiled and said thank you several times, then pushed the door and walked in with the child in her arms. After entering, Tang Lin could still hear her call, "Master Chu, today is still the old rules!"

Master Chu?

Tang Lin suddenly remembered, wasn't that woman just now the wife of the couple who was talking about Master Chu when he walked out of the competition venue after watching Master Chu's competition in the National Competition two years ago?

"Master Chu, remember to leave me a meal tomorrow, I'll come over later tomorrow!"

"Okay."

The door opened again, and this time a middle-aged man with a satisfied expression walked out from inside.The middle-aged man saw Tang Lin and Su Zhi who were unfamiliar standing at the door, suddenly smiled, pointed to the closed door and asked, "Brothers, did you come to our Master Chu's place for dinner on purpose? Come on, I recommend you the Golden Chicken Chop, the taste is absolutely top-notch."

When leaving, the middle-aged man also solemnly patted Tang Lin and Su Zhi on the shoulders, with a look of pride on his face, as if Master Chu who opened this store was someone of his.

Both Tang Lin and Su Zhi saw confusion in each other's eyes. Does Mr. Tang know Master Chu?Then why did Mr. Tang introduce Tang Lin to Master Chu?

Tang Lin couldn't find the answer after thinking too much, so he and Su Zhi pushed the door open and walked into Master Chu's small restaurant first.The restaurant is not big, except for a few tables against the wall, there is a long counter for cooking, and there are some independent single seats outside the counter.It looks full, but it is very warm.

The people in the restaurant were only focused on eating the food in their own bowls, and did not look up at Tang Lin and Su Zhi.The child who had pulled Tang Lin's clothes just now and her mother were also there, eating a bowl of ramen noodles as big as their faces at a table in the corner.

Master Chu just came out of the small door on one side, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Tang Lin and Su Zhi.Before Tang Lin introduced him and Su Zhi and explained his purpose of coming, he saw Master Chu rushing back to the small door again. A few seconds later, he came out with a black dress in his hand, and stuffed it directly Tang Lin's hands.

"Come, come, put on your apron, wash your hands and come into the kitchen to help me."

As soon as Master Chu finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the kitchen inside the long table, and started cutting vegetables on the long counter.

"Why don't you come here, hurry up." Master Chu looked up and saw Tang Lin still standing there, and shouted loudly.

Tang Lin didn't even think about it, he suppressed his doubts for the time being, shook off the black apron and tied it around his waist, rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, then squeezed some dishwashing liquid in front of the sink and took it seriously. Wash your fingers carefully.After seeing that he had washed his hands, Master Chu grabbed a trembling eel and stuffed it in Tang Lin's hand, pointed to the cutting board next to him and said, "Go there, that's your place, clean up the eel and then Cut it into pieces, I will use it to make eel rice later.”

"Yes!"

Tang Lin didn't care about 21. Hearing Master Chu's order, his subordinates started to operate spontaneously.When he put the eel on the cutting board and wanted to hold the knife with his right hand, Tang Lin hesitated for a while, and finally switched hands, and began to cut with the knife in his left hand.

Su Zhi was terrified watching from the side, afraid that something might be wrong with his hand.

This was the first time Tang Lin entered the kitchen and cut vegetables with a knife after he was discharged from the hospital.My hand, which has not been exercising for a few months, suddenly became a little stiff. I don't know if the left hand, which was very flexible before, was affected by the right hand, and the speed was slower than before.Tang Lin pressed the eel with his right hand and cut it down one by one from left to right. He could clearly feel the slight trembling of his right hand.Before Tang Lin could figure out whether it was because he was trembling because of his injury or because he was excited about cooking for the first time after recovering from his illness, Master Chu had already ordered him to do other things, and he didn't stop to think at all. time.

Su Zhi stood in the corner all the time, his eyes glued to Tang Lin's body motionless. Seeing that his body was a little stiff, but his cooking movements were fairly flexible, he was slightly less worried.

Later, Su Zhi didn't know when he helped to clean up the rice bowls and dishes that the guests in the restaurant had finished eating. After realizing it, he was already sweating from exhaustion.

The busiest meal time at noon finally passed, and the guests who came to Master Chu's small restaurant to eat and rest left one after another.It took a few minutes for the next guest to come, not so frequently, and the three of Tang Lin in the restaurant could finally relax.After being free, Tang Lin belatedly realized that his right hand was very sore, with a slight tingling pain.Tang Lin frowned slightly, pressed his left hand on his right and began to massage gently.

Seeing Tang Lin's movements, Su Zhi thought there was something wrong with his right hand, so he hurried over, "What's the matter, is your hand starting to hurt again?"

"It's okay." Tang Lin shook his head.

As soon as Tang Lin finished speaking, a big hand with a rough, wheat-colored complexion grabbed Tang Lin's right hand.Tang Lin turned his head and saw Master Chu looking down and pinching his right arm.

"It seems that the injury is really serious." Master Chu twisted his fingers, raised his head and asked, "Does this hurt?"

Tang Lin shook his head, "It's okay."

Master Chu bent his finger again, "How about this?"

"A little stiff."

Master Chu made a few more moves and asked a few questions before letting Tang Lin go.Tang Lin and Su Zhi looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

Master Chu said, "Although your hand injury is serious, it's not impossible to recover. You don't have to worry about putting it under heavy load and not using it. I don't think your right hand has any problems when cooking today. It should Still very excited. Your grandfather has already told me about you, you should still want to participate in the national competition in half a year, right?"

Seeing Tang Lin's serious and persistent eyes, Master Chu suddenly smiled, "You have heard about me more or less, right? I was paralyzed once, and the hospital said that I might be a semi-disabled person, and I could only spend the rest of my life in the hospital. But now, can't I also walk and jump?"

"Don't worry, our family used to be an old doctor of Chinese medicine. I didn't inherit that bit of Chinese medicine thinking and became a little cook. But at that time, my hometown still left some recipes, which happened to treat our injuries. Are you here? I will stay here for three months, and I will take that kind of medicinal bath on time. There is no problem with your right hand recovering to the ability it had before the injury. I was injured badly, and I missed the golden period of recovery, so now There are still some sequelae. You are lucky, boy, if you are a month later, the emperor will not be able to save you."

After Master Chu finished speaking, he patted Tang Lin on the shoulder, "You can stay here with peace of mind in March. The upstairs is your room. Apart from taking a medicinal bath every day, you can't miss the work of this restaurant. Every morning I have to get up at six o'clock to open the door, and it closes at seven o'clock in the afternoon, remember? If you are hungry, you can cook for yourself, and I will go out to get something."

"Can my hand heal?" Tang Lin muttered to himself.

Master Chu said with a smile, "With my family's formula, you don't have to worry."

Tang Lin raised his head and looked at Su Zhi together, both of them saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

--

Later, Tang Lin and Su Zhi lived in Master Chu's small restaurant. During the day, they helped cook and wash dishes on the first floor. At night, Su Zhi took care of Tang Lin to make Chinese medicine, and then they hugged each other and fell asleep together.The three months in Master Chu's small restaurant can be said to have been sufficient and comfortable, and it was also a period of about [-] days. Tang Lin and Su Zhi had already met many neighbors in the neighborhood.

Those neighbors felt sorry for Tang Lin when they knew that Tang Lin was injured and came to treat Master Chu. Every time they came to eat, they always brought some vegetables and fruits grown by themselves, or candy and biscuits.

The kid I bumped into on the first day also liked Tang Lin very much. Every time he came over, he had to pull Tang Lin to talk and make a few cheeks to be happy.The child's mother was really angry and laughed when she saw her child being so clingy to Tang Lin, and worried that he would like to look at good-looking people when he grew up.

Tang Lin's body, which had been soaked in medicinal baths for three months, soon became stronger, and the flesh that had been lost during the hospitalization was regained.The tingling sensation in the right arm is no longer there. I am busy with the meals in the small restaurant every day with Master Chu, and my right hand has become more and more flexible. Although many aspects are not as good as before the car accident, this is already a good phenomenon. If it continues, it might be possible to return to its previous strength when the national competition is approaching.

Su Zhi is not very good at cooking, but he is not idle. He helps out as a small worker during the day, cleaning up the guests' meals and dishes, and will not make any difference because of his status as the chief executive. Seeing Tang Lin getting better and better My body is happy every day.Moreover, Zhi Su is good-looking, and although he doesn't talk much, the neighbors in the neighborhood, especially some women, always like to grab him and gossip about some interesting things that happened recently with him.

Su Zhi listens very carefully every time, and those mother-level people think he is very good, and the more they look at him, the more they like him, "Su Zhi comes to Su Zhi to go" every day, and they are willing to bring any delicious food at home to Su Zhi try it.

After the neighbors in the backside knew about the relationship between Tang Lin and Su Zhi, they would talk about their unfilial children in front of them every day. It would be great if Barabara and the others could find a partner like Tang Lin and Su Zhi. He and Su Zhi are really the same size, but they don't find it annoying.

With the addition of Tang Lin and Su Zhi, the two handsome men, the daily customer flow of Master Chu's small restaurant has skyrocketed.Many office workers or young people who live nearby and their companies are not too far away, just spread the word to ten, ten to hundreds, and after a while, everyone knows that two super handsome guys have come to Master Chu's small restaurant. They are a couple, but they can't bear the attitude of the guests coming to seduce their eyes.More and more young people like to run here, and some people want to take some photos of Tang Lin and Su Zhi interacting, but after being persuaded by the person concerned, they consciously don't mention it anymore.If there are newcomers taking photos without authorization, these "predecessors" will explain it kindly.

During the days in the small restaurant, Tang Lin felt that his culinary skills had also made a great breakthrough, and he gained a new understanding of cooking. Master Chu is a person who has participated in many competitions, and he often brought Tang Lin some Competition experience is also very useful.And when it comes to cooking, Tang Lin also communicates with him very deeply. When making a certain dish, both of them have their own opinions.Sometimes tasting a product, there is a feeling of forgetting the friendship of the year.

These three months passed quickly, and there were only two months left before the national competition.

The next day.

After entertaining the last wave of guests, Master Chu closed the shop door.When he returned to the kitchen, he didn't need Tang Lin's help. He cooked a few small dishes and took out the wine he had treasured for a long time. After drinking three big bowls of white rice, he said cheerfully, "I didn't expect time to pass so fast, it seems like it was still yesterday when you came here, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye."

Master Chu said: "Tang Lin, your hands have recovered [-]% to [-]% in three months. I will give you the formula later. After you go back, you can soak according to the formula for two to three months. There is still no problem in the national competition." Yes. My shop here is small, so don’t try to hang on, just buy a ticket to Linshui Town tomorrow, and there’s an old guy waiting for you to go there.”

"Master Chu, do you know each other?" Hearing what he said, Tang Lin felt that Master Chu should know the person at the second address given by Mr. Tang.

Master Chu took a sip of his wine and said, "Well, we know each other. The two of us learned cooking from your grandfather for two or three months before, so we can be regarded as brothers in the same school. He is a good cook. Man, my temper used to be quite stinky, but now, I have a better temper than mine."

Tang Lin nodded and raised his glass, "This glass of wine is my toast to you, thank you Master Chu for taking care of me during this time."

"Success!" Master Chu raised his wine glass to touch him, then raised his head and drank all the wine.

"Come, come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

After drinking, Master Chu greeted Tang Lin and Su Zhi for dinner.After drinking and eating, Master Chu gathered up the dishes and put them in the washstand, then took out a cigarette and smoked it.

Tang Lin saw that Master Chu seemed to have something to say, so he was not in a hurry to leave, and sat in his seat and waited silently.

Master Chu smoked half of his cigarette, so he put it out, sighed, "I heard from the old man that you still know Chu Xing, if you see him, please help me take care of him. In the national arena, you don't have to give me a hand." To save face, try your best to compete."

"I see."

"Come on, I hope to see you in the World Championship." Master Chu clapped Tang Lin's shoulder with his big palm.

he will!Tang Lin said solemnly.

--

Knowing that Tang Lin and Su Zhi were going to leave, the guests who often came to eat in the small restaurant were very reluctant to part with them. The neighbors brought them a lot of gifts, and food accounted for more than half of them.After Tang Lin and Su Zhi said goodbye to these people, they left Linshui City and drove all the way down to Linshui Town.

When they were about to reach the second address, Tang Lin and Su Zhi realized belatedly, why is this place so familiar?

When they walked all the way to a very familiar neighborhood, looking at the familiar corridors and familiar iron gates, they finally knew where they came from.

The home of the little fat man Li Lingbao?

When Tang Ling was in the third year of high school, the opposite door where Su Zhi lived temporarily?

Tang Lin and Su Zhi looked at each other, and Tang Lin stepped forward and knocked on the big iron gate in front of him.After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of "da da da" footsteps coming from the house, and then a small door inside the big iron gate was first pulled open, revealing a tiger-headed and tiger-naked figure.

Fatty Li Lingbao hasn't seen him for a while, he has grown a lot taller, although his face is still fleshy.He lay on the iron gate and looked at Tang Lin and Su Zhi. After a while, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Are your parents at home?" Tang Lin knelt down and asked.

"Oh, are you Dad's friends?" Li Lingbao suddenly realized, "Then wait a minute, Dad is cooking in the kitchen."

After speaking, Li Lingbao turned around and ran back to the house, shouting as he ran, "Dad, there are two little brothers looking for you."

Standing outside the house, Tang Lin could still ask about the aroma of vegetables coming from the house.Li Anhua's cooking and Master Chu's cooking styles are completely different, you can tell when you smell the dishes.Li Anhua's dishes seem to have a more special taste and more personal charm.As for Master Chu, he wanted to be more careful. The dishes he made smelled similar to those made by others, but they were more fragrant than theirs.

Li Anhua came out of the kitchen wiping his hands, while Li Lingbao followed behind him with a chicken leg, his eyes full of curiosity about Tang Lin and Su Zhi.

Li Anhua was not surprised when he saw Tang Lin and Su Zhi. He hurriedly opened the door and said with a simple smile, "You are finally here, please come in. I just happened to make dinner, so you should come and have a taste."

Not long after Tang Lin and Su Zhi arrived, Li Lingbao's mother also returned home.He should have heard Li Anhua say that there will be guests at home recently, so he was not surprised to see two strangers at home. After seeing the appearance of Tang Lin and Su Zhi, he was surprised that they were the guests.

Li Anhua was curious about how they knew each other, so Li Lingbao's mother told him about the glorious history of their mother and son and Tang Linsu Zhi.

As soon as these words came out, Li Anhua would help Tang Lin, not to mention Mr. Tang's relationship. Even if he didn't, since Tang Linsu had helped his wife and son, he would be willing to help!

In this way, the simple and honest Li Anhua became more enthusiastic towards Tang Lin, Su Zhi and the others. If Tang Lin hadn't persuaded him, he might have to go into the kitchen to cook more dishes.

After dinner, Tang Lin and Su Zhi were placed in the guest room of their house.The room has been tidied up very clean, the pillows are still newly bought, and the fragrance of the sun can still be smelled.

Early the next morning, after Tang Lin and Su Zhi woke up and had breakfast, they were taken out of the house by Li Anhua.Following Li Anhua through the streets and alleys, Tang Lin was very curious, what exactly did Li Anhua take them to do today?

Finally, when they arrived at their destination, Tang Lin stared at the lively scene in front of him, and immediately froze in place.

They're coming for a cooking competition?

I will give the cannon fodder a knife later
