Sesame Green Bean Garlic

Zi'an figured out how to deal with Aunt Kong, and returned to the shop with ease.Sure enough, Aunt Kong and Brother Li were still there, but they were silent and looked at the wall quietly.

Zi'an had never seen Aunt Kong's silence, so he couldn't help but feel nervous.

From Zian's point of view, the profile of Aunt Kong's profile can be seen.Aunt Kong is almost 60 years old. Looking at her facial features, her eyes are eyes and nose is nose. When she was young, she should be a bright and gorgeous beauty. Now that she is old, the flesh on her face has thinned, and her facial features have become more bony. , but a little too much, showing a little fierce look.When you laugh, your blade shines.

Zian approached and found that they were looking at the torn newspapers on the wall.

Aunt Kong heard the sound, turned her head, and said to Zi'an, "Is this you?"

Zian touched his face, "Well, doesn't it look like it?"

"What, ice cream... is it awesome?"

Zian thought twice before realizing that she was talking about "Michelin".This question is not easy to answer.But when dealing with her, bragging is always right.

"Yeah, for those who run a restaurant, being recommended by Michelin is equivalent to winning an Oscar or a Nobel. That is the highest level in the world."

Michelin is very strange to Aunt Kong, but she knows Oscar and Nobel.She took a deep breath, and rolled her eyes on Zi An, "An Zi, I was thinking, you came here with ice cream, you must be opening a really awesome restaurant, right?"

Zi'an said seriously: "Well, I want to build a top-notch restaurant and get three Michelin stars."

Aunt Kong smiled gradually: "Promising! Brother Li, you see, young people have to have this temper! Your lottery station, I think let it go."

Brother Li was taken aback, "I don't mind, didn't we have a good chat? Do you think the money is short?"

"Money? What is money?" Aunt Kong held her head up, her tone of voice was two points more calm, "In this life, a person has to live a life of five people and six children, like our Anzi. If you want to do it, you have to make a world." The best restaurant, this ambition! Aunt Kong must be on your side, a good restaurant, what kind of double-color balls are sold, huh?"

Brother Li's face darkened, and he scolded: "Grandma, are you kidding me?" Aunt Kong didn't speak, but smiled firmly.Brother Li wanted to quarrel again, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not worth it. Nuo is a big man in the inner city of Beijing, so he can't find a place to sell lottery tickets?

He walked away angrily.

Aunt Kong was still smiling, and turned to look at Zian.

Zian had a bad premonition and unconsciously took two steps back.

Aunt Kong said kindly: "Anzi, you are doing a big business, and Aunt Kong supports you. Didn't you say that the kitchen is not big enough, I will give you half of the host."

"Okay... okay..." Zi'an swallowed, and took another step back, "How much is the rent?"

"Don't mention the rent, I'll give it to you!"

Zi'an was really frightened. He felt that the matter was so important that he didn't back down anymore. He looked at Aunt Kong and asked, "Then what do you want?"

"I don't want anything! Not only don't I want it, but I also give you a big gift."

Zian widened his eyes.

Aunt Kong smiled and said, "You rent a house, and I'll give my son—this gift, do you think it's okay?"

The decoration team came in again, and this time the project was even bigger. Half of the courtyard was going to be converted into a restaurant.Aunt Kong invested in her most precious son and became a major shareholder. Not only did she allocate part of the east room as the kitchen, but she also promised Huo Zian to renovate the yard in spring, lay lights and plant trees, and when the weather gets warmer People can sit beside the jujube tree to smoke and bask in the sun.

Zian felt that he was like Xue Xiangling reunited with Suo Linnang, Su San met her husband to clear up her grievances, and suddenly came to such a turning point when she was in a trough.This started from the antecedent cause that I planted, and it happened to produce good fruits, which is considered shit luck.

Sometimes, good luck is more invigorating than hard work, and Zian has more confidence in opening a restaurant in an alley in a whimsical way.

The only thing that made him uneasy was the son that Aunt Kong gave as a gift.Before they had time to meet, the "Brother Liang" was silent, and he didn't know where he went.Zi'an's restaurant is naturally short of people, and it doesn't matter if she takes her son with her, but the image of Ge Youtan has been deeply etched into his mind; this incomprehensible prince needs to be handled carefully, and he doesn't want to offend him. Aunt Kong was killed, causing follow-up troubles.

It doesn't matter if you wait carefully, the problem is that the person has completely disappeared, and he didn't even know whether the person was square or round.

The renovation of the kitchen was almost finished, and because it was just before the Spring Festival, ten days of work had been shortened to five days. Zian had to supervise the work step by step.After brunch, Zian returned to the courtyard and walked into the chaotic kitchen.This is the part of the east room adjacent to the restaurant. It used to be the small kitchen at home. The small space allocated to him by Aunt Kong did not really affect her son's bedroom.

It was almost noon, and the two workers wiped their hands before going to lunch.Zi'an: "Master, how long will it take for this tile to be finished?"

"Hurry up, another day tomorrow, we will definitely finish the work. Once the lights are installed, we'll be done."

Zi'an said hard, and watched them leave.

As soon as people left, the kitchen fell silent.Turning his head, Zian looked at his future kitchen, filled with emotion.This place is smaller than the dishwashing room in a restaurant in Shanghai. When three people work in it, they have to touch arms and toes.

But Zian is not afraid of being crowded, because he has no extra budget to hire more people.When he was in charge of the big kitchen in Shanghai, he had more than 30 people under his command. Some were responsible for purchasing ingredients, some were in charge of supervising the quality of things, and even formulating menus. It was a round of brainstorming with a large team, and the media, peers, and food critics were also invited. staff.

And now, counting the shadow on the wall, he was truly alone.But Zian is not worried at all, there is nothing, everything is possible.The decoration in his store is also the most concise, just wait for the future karma and chance encounters to add content to him.

He felt that this was his best state.

Facing the shadow, he was full of pride, and hummed with Guan Erye's upper body:

The Qinglong Dao straddles the saddle bridge diagonally.

Although Cao Mengde treated me with kindness and righteousness,

Get on the horse, get off the horse with gold, silver, wine and red robe.

Official conferment to the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, my Juelu is not small,

Could it be that the old man has forgotten his old friends back then?

Just as he was singing into the play, he heard a thump, thud behind the shadow.

Zian was startled and stopped talking.The sound was rhythmic, not a stone rolling down, or someone opening and closing a door.Behind the shadow wall is connected to the bedroom.Zian approached, trying to hear clearly, but the thumping sound disappeared.

Zian thought for a while, could it be that he is playing the rhythm for me?He continued to sing: Today in the ancient city we have a brotherhood meeting, and the three brothers don't miss our friendship in Taoyuan...

Sure enough, the sound rang out again, this time Zian heard it clearly, it was the beating of drums.The sound of the drum echoed his libretto, and the beat was not the same as that of Peking Opera. It was lazy and casual, rather like Guan Erye's horse was full of wine, staggering while walking, but it also carried the weight steadily. People and knives echo Zi'an's libretto.

After Zian sang a few more lines, he finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and lightly knocked on the wall.

The drums stopped abruptly.Zian waited for a while, and seeing that the other party had stopped moving, he knocked on the wall again, this time with more force, and the wall was knocked loudly.

There is no sound.Zian didn't give up, and knocked hard again.

Suddenly, there was a muffled pop.The two wall bricks in front of him hesitated for only two seconds before falling back.With a bang, a small hole the size of a book appeared in front of Zian.The old wall couldn't withstand the drilling, digging and beating of the past few days, and a hole was made by Zi'an's hands.

Time stood still, Zi'an stared wide-eyed, looking at the hole, as if it was a tunnel leading to another dimension.Zian leaned forward, trying to get a better look, but saw movement on the other side, approaching.

I saw a big mouth appeared in the hole, sticking out a big fat red tongue, like a grin, and like a slander.

This big tongue is so familiar...

Zian's eyes widened.

Aunt Kong rushed over after hearing the sound, and saw Zian staring blankly at the broken wall like a stone man.

Hearing Aunt Kong's footsteps, Zian turned his head and returned to reality in an instant.He stammered, "This...is this considered destroying cultural relics?"

Half a minute later, Aunt Kong and Zian walked to the yard.The thick cotton curtain in the east room was finally lifted, and a tall and thin man walked out.

The man was still wearing a mask, just like the first time Zian saw him next to the Wudaokou subway.

Aunt Kong looked at one end and then the other.Finally, she set her eyes on Zi'an's face. "This wall has been around for at least 100 years. There is nothing wrong with destroying cultural relics. Aunt Kong doesn't need you to pay for it. Just for one thing, this wall is connected to my son's house, and a hole was poked by a ghost. , You said, this is fate. My son is destined to be in the kitchen, you have to teach him well, he has a very sharp mind, and I will assign you to earn an ice cream."

The man in the mask didn't seem to understand the situation at all, he looked at his mother with dark eyes, then raised it up, looking at Zian.

Zian's heart felt like a wall with a hole in it, and there was a gap in the middle—is the man in the mask that good-for-nothing son?He was taken aback, and felt that he had received a lot of hints along the way, but he didn't connect them into facts.Ge You in his mind was shattered. Although the appearance of the man in front of him was unknown, his shoulders were broad and his back was straight, and his eyes were steady. No matter what, he couldn't integrate with the image of a prodigal son who was fooling around every night.

Zian stretched out his hand, "Hello."

The man in the mask didn't reach out, but turned his head to look to the other side.Zian was extremely embarrassed, but saw the man in the mask lower his head, put his finger next to his ear, and took off the mask.

He stretched out his hand and said to Zi'an, "Hi, my name is You Liangchen." His voice was deep and gentle.

"My name is Zi..." Zi'an paused, and suddenly felt that he had to be cautious, and continued, "My name is Huo Zian."

This is the first time in more than 20 years that he introduced himself like this, including his first and last names.As if a final decision, after saying his name, Huo Zian felt that something returned to him, and from this, he was completely different from himself a second ago.

The two looked at each other for a while, and then they both realized that there was no reason for such staring at each other, so they became embarrassed again.

Aunt Kong giggled and said, "Is my son in good spirits? Put it in your shop, and it will definitely not be cold."

Huo Zian smiled approvingly, thinking that Aunt Kong would shut up quickly.He glanced at You Liangchen, and found that he had no reaction to his mother's malicious sales promotion.

From the moment he met You Liangchen, he decided to hire him.Even, as Aunt Kong said, he will teach him his own skills, let him transform from a pancake seller on the street into a good cook.However, from You Liangchen's eyes, Huo Zian knew that he was not interested in this at all.You Liangchen's eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, as if his mother was telling him to go out and buy a bag of sugar instead of arranging him a job for the rest of his life.

Aunt Kong: "Do well with Anzi in the future, huh?"

You Liangchen froze for a few seconds, then nodded and did not speak.

He wasn't interested, but he didn't object either.As for his mother's arrangement, he just accepted it casually.Accept it casually, and give it up casually.Huo Zian frowned secretly, in a situation like You Liangchen's, it was even more difficult to keep things in order than a prodigal son.But now it is difficult to ride a tiger, so I have to take one step at a time.He smiled at You Liangchen, "Thank you for the pancakes."

Yu Liangchen nodded again.

Huo Zian continued: "But for my shoes, you have to pay me, right?"

Yu Liangchen: "..."
