The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

At night, the hustle and bustle of the day has dissipated, and people walking on the street are enjoying the rare leisure at night.

After a morning of motivational competition, Lao Xiao announced the three final candidates for promotion, and then Mr. Zou announced that the final of Doucai, which was rested in the afternoon, will be held tomorrow.

The old man's decision won the hearts of the people. Although it was only half a morning and more than two hours of competition, because the requirements were too high and energy wasted, both the participating chefs and visiting family members expressed that they needed time to rest and recover. Take a breath.

In the hotel, whether it is Chef Bao, Zou Huhu or that foreign chef George, the first thing they do after they come back is to fall asleep.

The senior brother who did not advance was still junior brother Dou, although they were still a little depressed, but they had let go of one thing. The two groups of people did not want to disturb the rest of the senior brothers who were promoted. After discussing it, they took their family members out shopping. It is said I had a lot of fun playing until it got dark

did not come back.

When Chef Bao woke up, the room was dark. There was no light in the room where he fell asleep. Only a small wall lamp was turned on by the door. The dim light gave a little light in the room.

In a trance, Chef Zhongbao heard a whispered voice in the place where the light was on at the door, and the voice was Zhouquan, who should he be talking on the phone over there.

It seemed that Zhou Quan didn't want to disturb Chef Bao's rest, so he didn't light the lamp in the room. Even when he needed light, he would go to the place farthest from the big bed and light up the wall lamp at the door. I want Chef Bao, who lives in the same room, to have a good sleep.

Under the comprehensive and careful care, Chef Bao slept very comfortably, and when he woke up, he felt full of energy and endless energy.

When he stood up and climbed down, Chef Bao heard Zhou Quan from the gate saying, "Oh, Uncle Wen, let me tell you, we may not be able to go back the day after tomorrow. Nothing happened, Brother Bao and his master There are still a few things that have not been resolved here, and we will go back when we are done. Ah, I can’t say the exact date, but it won’t be a few days. Well, the B&B is open as usual, and the notices are all posted to say yes If you are closed for three days, that is three days."

"Let everyone come back first, go to work and open normally, just don't open the reservation function on the website. If there are guests coming, I will trouble you, Uncle Wen. I guess there will not be too many guests if there is no reservation at this time. , you can bear it.”

Chef Bao, who was in the bathroom to wash his face, listened to Zhouquan when he passed by, and Uncle Wen on the other side of the phone said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know what's in mind, you can do business there with peace of mind, we are here."

When Chef Bao finished washing and opened the door, Zhou Quan had already hung up the phone. He was wiping his face with a towel and asked casually, "Did you call Uncle Wen? About our homestay?"

"Well, I thought it would be enough to close the business for three days, but I didn't expect it to be insufficient. But the notices have already been posted, and I can't say nothing, so I asked Uncle Wen and the others to support it for a few days. Fortunately, we bought it when we left. It’s not a round-trip air ticket, otherwise I have to change the ticket now.”

Chef Bao, who put the towel back in place, thought for a while and said: "Anyway, you have already made arrangements, otherwise we might as well take this opportunity to go to another place for a few days after the affairs of Shimen are over, so let's go to Suzhou and Hangzhou Well, big brother and the others have called several times, we didn't have time before, this time just in time."

"No, let's go back when we're done here, I'm homesick."

"Are you homesick after only a few days?"

"I also think about it for a few days, thinking about our homestay, the flower shed on the mountain, the people in the village, and the warm kang on the second floor."

"Even thinking about Kang? It seems that you are really not used to living here. That's okay, let's go back to our hometown in Northeast China after the fighting vegetables are finished."

"Well, Brother Baoyan, why do I hear your stomach rumbling? Are you hungry?"

"I'm a little hungry, what time is it?"

"It was more than six o'clock in the game, you slept right past lunch time, and now it's almost past dinner time, no wonder your stomach is growling."

It happened that Zhou Quan hadn't had dinner yet because he was waiting for Chef Bao, so the two guys who didn't want to leave the house simply called the front desk and ordered some porridge, wonton noodles and so on for dinner.

Chef Wan Shangbao was addicted to cigarettes, knowing that Zhouquan didn't like the smell of cigarettes, he walked out of the room and went to the end of the corridor, where there was a big balcony, which was a good place to smoke.

When he had finished lighting his cigarette, leaning his hand on the waist-high fence of the balcony, while watching the busy traffic on the street outside the hotel, while puffing away, he suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor behind him, as if someone was walking towards him direction.

Chef Bao could guess who was coming without even looking back, so he didn't move, just stood there and waited.

"Give me one."

A hand suddenly stretched out from behind the body. It has a broad palm and slender fingers. The palm and fingers are covered with calluses. It looks like a pair of working hands.

Chef Bao still didn't speak when he heard the words, he just took out a cigarette from his cigarette case and handed it to the speaker.

Zou Kai took the cigarette, put it in his mouth very naturally, put his hands in his pockets, flipped through it and said: "I forgot to bring the fire, lend me your fire."

Upon hearing this, Chef Bao took out his metal lighter and threw it towards him. The lighter casing was polished until it was reflected by the car lights on the opposite road, but Zou Huhu was not squinted by the light. It was accurate. Caught it.

Ding, slap, pushed the lid of the lighter away, lit himself skillfully, Zou Kai took a deep breath and took a big puff.

There was another person on the balcony, but the two of them didn't talk much. Chef Bao didn't speak until the cigarettes in their hands were exhausted, "You seem to be in a good mood?"

Zou Kai snuffed out the cigarette butt when he heard the words, and accurately threw the cigarette butt into the stone ashtray specially prepared on the balcony, and then replied: "Of course it's very good. I was afraid that you would really ignore it. Now after two games, I don't care about it." I can see that you are still worried about the face of the teacher and the friendship of the same school. Now the situation is very good, and it is too difficult to win with you in George, I will feel relieved and feel better."

Chef Bao stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket when he heard the words, and took back his lighter from the other party's hand. After doing this, he said: "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I will make you happy, because in tomorrow's finals I will decide Let the water go."

"What? Are you crazy? This is Doucai. You don't know what the outcome will be if you go all out, but you still want to let go? Does this mean you don't want to win?"

"Yes, I don't want to win. If I win, I have to stay and run Mingyue Building. This is not what I want. Ah Quan told me in the room just now that he is homesick, and we are going home when he misses home. As for the problem here, whoever is responsible will solve it by himself, I will not accompany you."

"Ah, don't be impulsive, Mingyue Tower..."

"I am not impulsive. I have been very calm from the beginning to the end. You are the one who is impulsive, and you are the one who can't understand the problem. Zou Kai, take care of your own affairs, fight for what you want, and do what you want. Others may help, but they can never make things happen for you, so everything depends on yourself, I already understood this problem when I was sixteen or seven, why haven't you figured it out when you lived until 26 or seven?"

"I......."

"You don't want to talk? I'm not interested in listening. I have my own life, and you have your own path to walk. It's impossible to expect others to walk the path for you. I've already said that, tomorrow After Doucai is over, I will take Zhou Zhou back to the Northeast, and you can think about the rest, I am too lazy to talk nonsense."

He speaks swiftly and does things without sloppiness, just like Chef Paibao.

Seeing that the other party turned around and left after he really finished speaking, Zou Huli was completely dumbfounded and stood there a little at a loss.

It wasn't until Chef Bao had walked back to the room that the sound of closing the door brought him back to his senses and he smiled wryly.

It seems that Baoyan really intends to let him go his own way this time, and does not intend to mix the recipes of Mingyuelou and Shimen.

Rubbing his face vigorously, Zou Kai tried his best not to let himself down. Since that guy Baoyan quit, he has to persevere. I hope that the main material of Doucai will be what he is good at tomorrow.

When Zou Kai was walking towards his room, he passed by George's room, and the people inside seemed to be waiting for him, and immediately opened the door when he heard his footsteps.

However, this enthusiastic waiting failed to bring about the same enthusiastic response. As soon as Zou Kai saw the other party, he said angrily: "I really don't understand why you insist on getting involved in our master's affairs, let alone the relationship between master and apprentice." , my mother's skills are not qualified to be your master."

Regarding Zou Kai's complaints, George listened calmly, and waited until he finished complaining before saying: "No way, your mother promised me one thing, and I can't just agree."

But there is only this one sentence, no matter how Zou Kai asks George, he will not say more, just say that there is an appointment first, and everything will be discussed after the fight is over.

Zou Kai stomped in the corridor angrily when he heard the words, but he knew George's temper. He looked like a gentleman, but he was actually very stubborn. No one could pry his mouth away from what he didn't want to say. In the end, Zou Huhu, who got nothing, could only reply angrily. own room.

This night, some people tossed and turned and others fell asleep peacefully. After the bright moon passed, the morning glow filled the sky, and a new day began again.
