Sesame Green Bean Garlic

The two looked at each other, completely forgetting themselves.

hiss.You Liangchen's eyes fluctuated, and he let out a soft cry.It turned out that Huo Zian was too engrossed, and pinched You Liangchen's injured hand too hard, touching the wound.Huo Zian hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, does it hurt?"

You Liangchen didn't feel much pain, but suddenly he didn't want to let Huo Zian go, and frowned deeply, "It hurts..."

You Liangchen's expression was half a smile but not a smile, it was not in pain at all.Huo Zian almost jumped out, he got the signal, but the signal obviously didn't tell him to run for his life...

He couldn't hold on any longer, and took another step closer, almost touching You Liangchen's body.

Unexpectedly, at this time the door of the bathroom suddenly opened inward.The two were startled and looked out the door together.

Aunt Kong stood outside the doorway.

She opened her eyes wide and said loudly, "You...you?"

You Liangchen quickly wrapped a towel around his waist, and Huo Zian hurriedly let go.You Liangchen frowned: "Mom, why didn't you knock on the door?"

"I... I heard you howl, and thought you fell down. I just saw Anzi go to the house to get medicine. What's wrong?"

You Liangchen raised his injured hand, "It's okay, just touched it."

When Aunt Kong saw that her hand had doubled in size, her heart ached. "I see! Oh, I have to go to Lao Li's place to loosen the silt." Lao Li is a blind masseur across the alley, and rubbing him once is equivalent to being surrounded and beaten. a meal.

You Liangchen: "It's nothing serious, Zian rubbed it for me, and it will disappear in two days. Mom, you go out, I'm taking a shower."

Aunt Kong smiled, "Run around the yard bare-bottomed and let you wear trousers and don't do it. Now I feel ashamed."

Huo Zian laughed.Aunt Kong glared at Huo Zian: "Anzi, don't laugh, how do you take care of Liangchen, the kitchen is dangerous everywhere, so don't let him in." She thought that Liangchen was injured in the kitchen.

Huo Zian rubbed his face, and said solemnly: "Of order, I will spank his ass if he enters the kitchen in the future!"

Aunt Kong laughed and scolded: "Don't be poor, you think I don't know, you say one thing, but think another thing in your heart."

Zi'an felt guilty and dared not answer.

You Liangchen suddenly said to Aunt Kong: "I have something to tell you."

Aunt Kong was startled.It is quite rare for her son to talk to her for nothing.But her intuition told her that it would not be a good thing.

You Liangchen said again: "I'll find you later."

She restrained her smile, nodded, turned and left.

Both breathed a sigh of relief.He obviously didn't do anything bad, but for some reason, it seemed like he was caught.

Huo Zian asked, "What do you want to tell Aunt Kong? Ah, is it about compensation?"

You Liangchen didn't expect that Huo Zian knew about it, "You heard what Qiu Xinzhi said? The house needs to be compensated for the damage, and I don't have that much money."

"how much is it?"

Huo Zian was taken aback when he heard the amount of compensation, scratched his head and said, "I don't have that much." Before Chen Langxin came, he could barely afford it, but now he is too busy to take care of himself.

The two were relatively worried.

You Liangchen said: "My mother can take it out, but I don't know if she will."

"What excuse are you making up?"

"If you have any excuses, tell the truth."

Huo Zian shook his head, he knew Aunt Kong quite well, "She would rather spend double the money to go to court than agree to you taking the blame."

"Then what should we do?" Once there is a lawsuit, old man Qin can't get rid of the relationship, and even Qiu Xinzhi has to be involved, and he doesn't know when it will end.

The two continue to worry about...

Huo Zian put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Just say you lent me the money and put it in the restaurant."

You Liangchen was taken aback, thought for a while and said: "My mother can't see the black and white words, so she won't believe it."

"Then write in black and white."

You Liangchen was even more reluctant, "The money is not really in your hands, should I give you an IOU?"

Huo Zian smiled and said, "Okay." He trusted You Liangchen 100%.

You Liangchen resolutely refused.There was nothing wrong with Zian, so why should he cut off the restaurant?

The two discussed and discussed, but there was no other way.Huo Zian took You Liangchen's dignity into consideration, so he couldn't persuade him anymore, and finally he sighed, "If you can't, go to Qiu Xinzhi."

"Ask him to borrow money?"

Huo Zian immediately said: "He may not be able to get the money, but if you want to make your mother happy, he can still come in handy."

Qiu Xinzhi listened to Huo Zian's proposal, and said directly: "Crazy!"

Huo Zian snorted: "You won't lose a piece of meat, so you can't help with such a little thing?"

Qiu Xinzhi: "What do you think our magazine is? Besides, this matter is too naive."

Huo Zian asked to go to the magazine with You Liangchen and coax the old lady.He knew that this matter was childish, but it definitely worked for Aunt Kong.Aunt Kong has been eyeing the restaurant all the time, especially now that the attendance rate is high, she will grind him and let him expand the scale, and she is willing to invest.Huo Zian naturally played Tai Chi with her, but he knew in his heart that Aunt Kong wanted this restaurant for You Liangchen.In addition to the courtyard house in the second ring road, she also has two houses and two shops, and she is not short of money at all.She is not short of money, nor is she short of the money left to You Liangchen, what she is short of is "karma".The old lady had a high spirit, and she only wanted her son to have a decent career, even if she couldn't make much money, it didn't matter.

Aunt Kong is the most face-to-face. She has always wanted her son to appear in newspapers and magazines. You Liangchen wants to be able to show his face in magazines, and the text is "restaurant owner". To her, this is much more convincing than a contract in black and white. .

But You Liangchen felt embarrassed, "Let's get this matter over with, I'll figure out a way with the money."

Huo Zian gave Qiu Xinzhi a wink.Qiu Xinzhi knew what it meant, but he couldn't sell his cover just to make You Liangchen happy.He said helplessly, "Can you think of some reliable ideas?"

Huo Zian sneered: "Then you take the money out?"

Qiu Xinzhi was speechless.Although his income is high, he has to take care of his mother who is bedridden all year round, and spends a lot of money. He is full of famous watches and cars, and he can't afford so much cash all at once.

Three people worry together...

Finally, Qiu Xinzhi sighed, "We are three middle-aged people, we usually work hard, and we are not lazy, but we are here to discuss how to steal the old lady's money. Okay, the cover is impossible, and the text can be manipulated." .”

The content is okay, Huo Zi'an heaved a sigh of relief.But seeing You Liangchen walked out without saying a word.

Qiu Xinzhi said to Huo Zi'an: "Are you sure You Liangchen is willing to do this? Why do I feel like I've been stepped on?"

"If you just keep your mouth shut, you'll have nothing to do—steal the old lady's money! Will You Liangchen be happy to hear this? Also, you haven't dealt with Aunt Kong before, so you don't know what level she is. Opponent. If you can't even get this little money out, you still want to touch her son?!"

Qiu Xinzhi was taken aback, Godzilla with three heads and six arms appeared in his mind. "Is... so scary?"

Huo Zian sneered, too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and went back to the kitchen.

Qiu Xinzhi was stunned, and after a while, he smiled contemptuously, confirming that Huo Zian was deceiving him. "Even Godzilla can't stop my love for Liang Chen, you have to be afraid, hide yourself in the turtle shell!" He stretched out his index finger and tapped the kitchen twice.

Although You Liangchen was reluctant, he obediently cooperated with the filming.This sum of money was too big, and he had to raise it from his friends, but he couldn't get it all together for a while.The current method is the most harmless. He made a false name and didn't really sign the contract. The restaurant still belongs to Huo Zian completely.

Qiu Xinzhi made a final decision and gave them a large, double-page spread.But Yu Liangchen couldn't appear like this without thinking, there had to be a reason.Therefore, Huo Zian compromised and agreed to the label "New French Cuisine in Hutong", so that Liangchen, who grew up as a child in Hutong and "one of the restaurant owners", would have something to interview.

Huo Zian was forced to accept such a position. He had a serious personality and began to think about how this label could be implemented in the creation of food.He felt that something was wrong, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable being held around his neck by such a propositional composition.But he didn’t resist. Even if it wasn’t “Hutong”, they would put other frameworks on him, even more exaggerated, such as “Rise of the National Chef” and “Localization Pioneer”. .

After all, he is not just for You Liangchen, he also has ambitions to become a famous chef, to win a Michelin star, and even to have his own place in the world's catering system.And it’s not all about food alone.He knew that Qiu Xinzhi opened the door for him, and he could agree with what Qiu Xinzhi said. If he couldn't express himself clearly in a few words and establish a clear image, he would be easily overshadowed in Beijing.

This is the price he needs to pay.

He put fennel, star anise, dried chili, sage, sea salt, Chinese rose, and shallots on the table, stroked each one, smelled each one, and observed their colors, textures, and textures.He loved them all, and the unique smell they gave off.He was like a child walking into the depths of the woods, fascinated by the dewdrops on the grass, the beetles on the cornflowers, the friction between the soles of his feet and the gravel.He can squat down and watch a snail move slowly for a long time.He feels at ease.

He loves food and that's the only reason he became a chef.He knows his ability and can go deeper.However, when he felt that he was getting closer and closer to his goal, he was getting farther and farther away.He obviously walked according to his own wishes, but there were always various unpredictable forces, pushing here, pulling there, and then he deviated a little bit and then a little bit unconsciously.

Where is he going?He was really afraid that he had forgotten.

He picked up the rose, put it in his mouth and took a bite.The bitter juice flowed out, staining his lips a peachy pink.

After a few days, the layout will probably be finalized.The photos taken by Huo Zian and You Liangchen in the restaurant were made into a large version.Qiu Xinzhi was afraid that Xiaoxue would have an opinion, but when she picked up the page, stars burst out of her eyes. "Oh, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't think about any topics, just put more photos of the two of them."

When she said this, Qiu Xinzhi picked it up: "You are an old editor, can you have a little bone, and your legs will go weak when you see a handsome guy?"

"I'm following the public opinion. Whoever reads the text now just glances at the title and looks at the photos. The value is the value." She held up the page, "The two of them really match each other, look at them Looking into each other's eyes, sparks popped. Aren't they a couple?"

Qiu Xinzhi overturned the vinegar vat, "What a fart! Hey, is there an appointment with the comments?"

"I've made appointments with everyone I can, and for those who are too wristy and have a bad temper, you have to come in person. This time, you took out all the favors at the bottom of the box, it really cost a lot of money. "

Qiu Xinzhi pondered, "It's far away. It's just a cover. After a wave passes, the rest is sand; other than the layout, it has to be real. I want to organize several dinner parties and gather these people in Zian's restaurant Go. The people in the capital are smart, just listening to us is useless, we have to let them really know the benefits of Huo Zian. If we let them go by themselves, there are still some unstable factors in the restaurant," thought of You Liangchen The look of fooling around, Chen Langxin's mustard macaron, and the old iron who ran to the door of the restaurant at any time and meowed, he was worried, "It's best to let Huo Zian get ready, and then take them all together!"

Xiaoxue looked at the fighting spirit in Qiu Xinzhi's eyes, and said in surprise, "Boss, you won't be in this restaurant...have shares?"

Qiu Xinzhi glared at her.Xiaoxue kindly persuaded: "This restaurant is not bad, but don't get too involved, I think Huo Zian treats you like that, there is no good face..."

Qiu Xinzhi interrupted her: "What do you know, he loves me in his heart, and he's just embarrassed to say it." He slowly restrained his smile, and said seriously: "Besides, what is the responsibility of our media?"

Xiaoxue hurriedly followed suit: "Maintain world peace!"

Qiu Xinzhi laughed dryly: "I dare not take it seriously. Don't talk about world peace, we are in the tide, and we can't protect ourselves. Michelin came to Beijing, and the 500-star chef was going to be the largest French restaurant in the capital. The per capita restaurant is more than [-] per person. Seven or eight houses open every month, this is the wave. What use are we in the wave?"

Xiaoxue felt something in her heart: "It's just a bystander and a recorder."

Qiu Xinzhi shook his head: "The bystander is sometimes the executioner."

Xiaoxue's eyes widened.Qiu Xinzhi smiled and said: "In the tide, if we can still stand firm, then try to find the stone you want. When we still have the judgment and can do something, don't let yourself drown in it ah."

I just wondered why Zian knew all about Youjia's property...
