Sesame Green Bean Garlic

You Liangchen carefully checked the photo, it was originally an old photo, but it was re-photographed, and the details and colors were blurred. "I forgot whether the old man's tattoo is on the left arm or the right arm. The patterns are very similar—but this eagle pattern is... not uncommon. It's just a coincidence."

Huo Zian knew that You Liangchen wanted to comfort him, but he still felt cold all over.You Liangchen is very careful and likes tattoos, so he naturally pays special attention to this aspect, there is no reason to be wrong.

He looked up at You Liangchen, and said in a somewhat fierce tone: "Let's go and have a look now!"

You Liangchen stopped him, "There will be a conference recently, and the stalls and beggars have been cleared away. He must not be in the subway anymore."

Huo Zian shook his head, nodded again, only feeling anxious: "Then let's find Lao Guo! The old beggar has been begging in front of the subway, Lao Guo must know him."

"Yes, this old pot has a solution!"

They returned to the sex shop without delay and asked about the origin and whereabouts of the beggar.Lao Guo still looked like nothing important in the world, and said slowly: "The old man, I remember that he came here seven or eight years ago. The puppy is here to beg. Don’t look at him lying down like this, earning more than you.”

Yu Liangchen: "I know he can earn. Where is he now?"

"Let's get out of the limelight. Where does he live... I have to ask about this. The so-called money is hidden. He earns a lot, so he doesn't interact with people very much, for fear that people will think about it. You have been a neighbor with him for several years. , I don’t even know his last name.”

"Nonsense, he's lying down and I'm standing up, who has the spare time to get close."

"Let's just say it," Lao Guo said with a good-natured smile, "You don't have time to spare, and neither do others. If someone comes to ask a question about someone who is as handsome as you, that old man is not interested in anyone."

Seeing that he was chatting nonstop, Huo Zian became impatient, "Boss, you have to find a way, please help me find out as soon as possible. Please!"

Lao Guo looked at him, and said calmly: "Okay, I'll inquire first. When I have news, I'll tell you. It's useless to be anxious about your matter. It's up to you to see it, and you will meet it sooner or later." , You shouldn’t see it, it’s better if you don’t see it.”

Huo Zian thought to himself, was Lao Guo a teacher before? Why is he so talkative.He had the cheek to entrust a few more words before leaving with You Liangchen.

For the next few days, Huo Zian was worried about his worries and had trouble sleeping and eating.He called Professor Gao, but no one answered. He hurriedly called the university to ask, saying that he took the students to work in the desert and would not return to the city until two weeks later.

He asked You Liangchen to urge the old pot.With a cigarette in his mouth, You Liangchen said vaguely: "Don't worry, he talks a lot, but he is very reliable in his work. He didn't give me a letter, but he didn't find out the news."

Huo Zian lay down on You Liangchen's lap, and said lazily: "Didn't you say that your organization has all eyes and hands, and can even find out the aliens hiding on the earth? How come you can't even handle an old beggar."

You Liangchen laughed: "I didn't say that. It's useless to be in a hurry. Now that the limelight is on the rise, these people have no fixed place to live. It's hard to say that they will go back to their hometown and go to the suburbs to do other business. Maybe hide in a bungalow Li. When this gust of wind passes, people will come back."

"When will I have to wait, I'm getting bored to death."

You Liangchen stroked his hair, "It's annoying, just smoke a cigarette."

He put the cigarette in his mouth between Huo Zian's lips.Zian exhaled a smoke ring and watched the smoke slowly drift into the air, lingering on You Liangchen's face, the big locust tree behind him, and the night sky above the locust tree.

The night was so quiet that there was no sound of Sophora japonica flowers falling in the square.Huo Zian was very sleepy and comfortable, so he wanted to sleep on You Liangchen's lap.

In a daze, suddenly You Liangchen's leg moved violently.Huo Zian was startled, opened his eyes and sat up.Looking up, he saw Oji in front of the locust tree, bending slightly, looking at the two of them.

Huo Zian was taken aback, and blurted out: "Oji, it's so late, are you still going back to the restaurant?"

Oji smiled: "Forget my mobile phone, take it back. Excuse me, I saw you, come to say hello."

Huo Zian responded with a "hmm, yes".Oji didn't say much, bowed, turned and left.

The two looked at Oji's back with shock on their faces.In the middle of the night, they thought there would be no one.Oji must have seen their intimacy just now.

They looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.After a while, Huo Zian spoke first, "Liang Chen, what are we going to do in the future? Are we just sneaking around like this?"

You Liangchen was taken aback, and said with a smile: "Then let's make it public? Come and live with me!"

Huo Zian was helpless: "Can you be more serious? What if it wasn't Oji who came just now, but Aunt Kong?"

Yu Liangchen stopped talking.

Huo Zian hugged his face, "We can't hide it for long, have you thought about how we will face your parents?"

"I never thought about it," You Liangchen confessed.

Huo Zian pressed his forehead against his, a little discouraged, "We have to get ready. If we can't pass this test, we..."

You Liangchen said softly: "We are us, my parents are my parents, can they still live for me?"

"It's the truth, but you will be very embarrassed, right? Your mother won't agree so easily, and you don't want to provoke her. Then everyone will feel uncomfortable."

You Liangchen smiled bitterly, "Is it rare for me to be sad? I don't know how to satisfy her. If I'm not me, not her son, maybe she will feel better."

"Good day..."

"I've been avoiding her all the time, thinking that I'll be fine if I hide, but I can't hide forever. If you think we have to make it clear to her, then we will make it clear to her."

Huo Zian looked at You Liangchen and asked, "Are you carrying it?"

"Well, I can handle it. What about you?"

A large piece of Sophora japonica fell, and immediately there was a faint fragrance under the tree.Getting closer, I couldn't see Yu Liangchen's face clearly, but I could feel the warmth of his hard hand bones and cheeks.Huo Zian felt that the ground under his butt was solid, and You Liangchen's body was also strong and stable. They supported each other like a firm triangle, standing under the old locust tree.

"I'll carry it." Huo Zi'an said.

The two stopped talking.Apart from this sentence, there is no other promise.

Under the locust tree, this is not like a love story or an oath, but rather like a covenant between the two parties. When the agreement is made, they hook their fingers together—no one is allowed to run away, and whoever runs away is a turtle...

You Liangchen: "Then let's talk to her tomorrow."

Huo Zian's eyes darkened, and he almost fell to the ground.He tapped You Liangchen on the head, "Are you going to die for nothing?! No wonder Aunt Kong won't eat me tomorrow."

You Liangchen smiled and said: "Is this cowardly?"

"Hey, be serious. It's not the right time yet. You have to be strategic when dealing with your mother. You can't go head-to-head with her. I think at least you have to wait until the restaurant has stabilized—preferably after you get the Michelin star—before you speak to her."

"Is this useful? The restaurant is not hers."

"She doesn't think so. She thinks the restaurant belongs to you. If you can't get married and have children obediently, then make a career out of it. There must be at least the same. If she feels relieved about you, she will take it easy."

You Liangchen thought to himself that Zi'an's words made sense. After he worked steadily in the restaurant, Aunt Kong's control over him really relaxed a lot.However, coming out of the closet and selling pancakes is not a heavyweight at all, which means that he will not get married, you will not have any descendants, and she will not have grandchildren; as long as they do not have a family, they will become relatives, friends and neighbors for a long time to monitor and discussion.He is not as naive as Zi'an, thinking that Aunt Kong is rational enough to look at these things.

"I think it's useless, she will still eat you."

Huo Zian: "..."

He also felt that the bargaining chip was not big enough. Although Aunt Kong liked Michelin, if it could not be converted into real benefits, it would be nothing but a name for her.She is very shrewd, not a real interest, I'm afraid it won't be very convincing to her - but what else does he have?This is the only direction they can work towards.

"No matter what, please make her happy first. When she is happy, everything can be discussed."

You Liangchen didn't want Zi'an to be upset, so he echoed: "Well, let's talk about it later."

Huo Zian kissed You Liangchen's nose, thinking that this is not impossible, anyway, let's finish the restaurant first.For him, Michelin has become an inevitable thing, not only to prove that he is an excellent chef, but also to protect his love shield.

In any case, he must get the stars.

The dog days are extremely hot, but what is even hotter in the catering circle is the big news that Michelin has come to Beijing.

Old Bao said: "It's Michelin crazy! Zian, didn't those reporters block your door?"

Huo Zian said distressedly: "Not only reporters, but also ask me to write books, give lectures, teach cooking on shows, advertise... If I want to deal with them one by one, I don't have to do anything!"

"There are not many Michelin-starred chefs in Beijing. This matter is discussed every day in the circle. Now every restaurant is in a hurry. If you want to meet a customer who is like a Michelin-star detective, you can't wait for the boss to come and serve you personally. There are also restaurant owners who ask the chefs. Conditions, if you don’t get the stars, the chef will pack up and leave.”

Huo Zian was also very concerned about this matter, "Has the Michelin detective started his activities yet?"

"Legend has already appeared in Jean Ropruent's restaurant. After eating, he showed his business card to the manager."

"I heard from Lao Qiu that Jean's restaurant is very good. This time the old man is determined to get three stars."

"The restaurant is very good, but the public opinion outside is more inclined to you."

"Me?" Huo Zian was surprised.

"Ah. Part of this is Lao Qiu's credit, and the other part is human psychology. Many people say that Jean's style is outdated, but it's actually because of Jean's restaurant, which is based on seniority and money. Some people do not have the conditions to run this kind of restaurant. But you, poor and young, rely on creativity and talent to run a small restaurant. Many people think they can do it. Therefore, people tend to support diaosi Yes."

"You're a dick!" Huo Zian didn't feel that Lao Bao was praising him at all.He felt a little uneasy. The situation now is exactly the same as when he was in Shanghai: a high-profile young chef with a high voice, but Michelin three stars were finally given to an established restaurant.

He knew that it wasn't entirely because of his background or qualifications, he must have a problem too.But what is the problem?He was getting more and more unclear.He is more confused than before about what fine dining is and what kind of food is good.If these questions cannot be answered, will Michelin give him a reserved evaluation again?

While they were chatting, there was a sudden commotion at the door.

Lao Bao was startled: "Another reporter came to ask Chef Huo for advice?"

Huo Zian looked at his watch, it was almost dinner time.It's time to get busy.He annoyed: "Old Bao, go and help me deal with it."

Lao Bao stood up lazily: "Isn't there a beautiful day outside?"

"He has to take care of everything by himself, and it's not enough to divide it into eight parts!"

Old Bao sneered: "You are the only one who loves him."

When Lao Bao walked to the door, he realized that the matter was not something he could handle with just a few words.
