Sesame Green Bean Garlic

Huo Zian was eating a small carrot, when suddenly there was a "bang" from the back of the restaurant, and a few pinches of dust fell from the ceiling.Huo Zian was stunned, the carrot fell onto the dinner plate with a crisp "boom".

The voices in the kitchen were boiling, and someone ran out, "It exploded!".Huo Zian suddenly remembered that Qiu Xinzhi was inside, and immediately ran towards the kitchen.

"Xinzhi!" There was no response.He grabbed a person and asked, "Where is the toilet?" The person panicked, "When are you still peeing and shitting? Hold on!"

Huo Zian glanced at the kitchen, it was smoky and the temperature was very cold.He suddenly woke up: the liquid nitrogen tank exploded!Liquid nitrogen is commonly used in modern kitchens for creative dishes, and Huo Zian also has it in Huo Zian's kitchen.Liquid nitrogen is stable and does not burn, so its damage is limited.But everyone in the restaurant was terrified and running around.

Huo Zian searched for a while, and finally saw the toilet.He opened the door and saw Qiu Xinzhi lying on the ground.

Huo Zian was shocked, and knelt down beside him with one leg, "Are you injured?"

Qiu Xinzhi was confused, and when he saw Huo Zian, he slowly recovered. "It's okay, just bumped my head."

"I'll help you out."

"Wait... wait a minute."

Seeing his pale face, Huo Zian asked, "What's the matter, what's wrong?"

"Help me zip up my trousers first."

Huo Zian: "..."

The explosion was quickly dealt with, as Huo Zian guessed, it was a liquid nitrogen tank explosion.No one was injured and no property was damaged in the kitchen.

However, Qiu Xinzhi fell into the confusion of doubting life.Sitting under the jujube tree, he sighed: "Zian, do you think I really ran into an alley criminal? It's fine if I stepped on shit and was bullied by You Liangchen. I was almost killed today."

Huo Zi'an comforted him and said, "Didn't you die, you didn't even lose a single hair."

"Hey, can you say something nice. I was lucky to escape this time. What if it blows up a gas tank next time?"

"It's not you who are unlucky, but that restaurant. Hey Lao Qiu, maybe it's not the alley that beat you, but wherever you go, you will be unlucky."

"Damn! Then why are you not unlucky, I rely on this place every day. What do you think of Yu Liangchen?"

You Liangchen was feeding Lao Tie, he raised his head and said, "Go to the hospital for an examination, is your brain damaged?"

Huo Zian laughed loudly, "Come on, editor-in-chief, have a drink to calm your nerves. Are you as courageous as a sesame seed? This little thing scares you."

Qiu Xinzhi raised his glass and muttered, "This is such a trivial matter..."

Qiu Xinzhi is right, this is indeed no small matter.And Huo Zian's crow's mouth became a prophecy.

Just when the news was tight, the bombing in the second ring road became the focus of attention.At first, it was just normal interrogation and recording of statements, and then waves of people began to come in to do safety hazard inspections, and every store around the alley was implicated.

Finally, one day, Huo Zian received a notification document that the Hutong restaurant was going to be rectified, and was ordered to close the shop for rectification.

Everyone in the restaurant was dumbfounded.

"Closing the store for rectification? That is to say, we are going to... close the store?" Chen Langxin couldn't believe it. The operation of their store was on the right track, and it was about to stabilize. Huo Zian's reputation was in full swing, and it was time to get better. , Can everyone's efforts be wiped out with a single order?

Everyone's faces were ugly, they looked at Huo Zian together.Huo Zian couldn't accept the fact even more, but he knew that if he panicked, everyone would be even more panicked.Therefore, he tried his best to speak in a calm tone: "I don't know the situation yet, maybe we will close the door for a day or two, and we can resume business as usual after the security check is completed."

Qiu Xinzhi also reassured: "The meeting has been held in the past two days, and the safety issue has been taken seriously. After the meeting, it will be fine. It will be too troublesome for them to close so many stores. Let's just put a few It’s a day off, it’s rare that there is no smog, it’s time to play, it’s time to stay at home, if you complain every day that you don’t have time to date, hurry up and do it!”

Everyone was relieved a little.And Huo Zian and Qiu Xinzhi looked at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.

They walked under the locust tree and checked the situation around the square.All restaurants, including Uncle Ma's steamed stuffed bun shop, had their doors closed.The Italian restaurant didn't appear to have any damage on the surface, and the entire square and the surrounding alleys were as calm as yesterday, but the atmosphere became withered and deserted.

Huo Zian sighed: "Is it really okay after the meeting?"

Qiu Xinzhi sneered: "Who the hell knows. Maybe the ban will be lifted tomorrow, or maybe it's not in the foreseeable future. Well, if it's rectified slowly, it won't be strange in a year or so."

"A year and a half..." Huo Zian murmured, "I can't wait for a month." He can still bear the loss of money, and an excellent kitchen team doesn't worry about not having a job. There are still more than a dozen invitations; what he is worried about is that this store is in the period of Michelin detective activities, if it is delayed, it will miss this year's selection.

"Hey, what a disaster. Don't think about Michelin, or just close this store and find another better place to start over."

Huo Zian was not reconciled: "I don't want to give up here, is there any other way?"

"A solution?" Qiu Xinzhi sighed, "Have you read the news? China Yang TV made a special feature criticizing the commercialization of hutongs, saying that the houses were remodeled indiscriminately, the flow of people affected the residents' work and rest, and the restaurant was a safety hazard. Everything was hit. Achilles heel. Let me tell you, if you don’t offend Mr. Ke, this matter won’t ferment to this extent.”

"Huh? Was this topic made by Mr. Ke?"

"No, he doesn't do social news, but he has influence in Taiwan. If he is willing to help you, he can somewhat control the spread of the topic. Whether Hutong restaurants should exist is inherently controversial. Some people are affected, and some Many people have benefited. It depends on where you sit and who you speak for."

Huo Zian said dejectedly: "Then what do you mean, I should apologize?"

"You should have apologized in the first place! But this is not the right time. You have to bow your head to him now, so you won't be blamed if he doesn't call you dead. It wasn't a big deal at first, but it became a big deal when it involved the survival of the restaurant. He still If you don't think of yourself as the emperor, you can disgust you as much as you want. With your temper, I can't stand it."

"Well, I didn't do anything wrong."

"You didn't do anything wrong with your size! Zi'an, you are not a child anymore. Society has social rules of the game. It is not a question of who is right, but a question of who has the right. If you want to do your own thing, the other sections are I have to throw it aside, do you want me to teach you this?"

Huo Zian made a painful expression, and said with a smile: "I see, Teacher Qiu, I will pay attention to it in the future."

Qiu Xinzhi was annoyed: "Don't be poor with me. Don't worry about the future, this matter can't just wait. As a person who makes decisions, I can barely make a difference—even if it is a limit, I have to work hard. I Try to circle around."

Huo Zian was very grateful, looked at Qiu Xinzhi and said, "Thank you very much."

Qiu Xinzhi put his arms around his shoulders, lowered his voice and said, "Even if you have passed this level, what will you do next?"

"What should I do?" Huo Zian didn't know what he was going to say.

"Hey, why do you look like Yu Liangchen? You're renting a house from Yu's family. You want Yu Liangchen to marry you into the door with a sedan chair of eight people, and then inherit the big yard of his family? Most of the two elders don't agree with you being together. , don’t agree, it’s fine, if you tear your skin apart, how can you stay in this alley.”

Huo Zian had already thought about this question.He shook his head: "What else can I think, I can only let them agree."

Qiu Xinzhi snorted, "It's not that easy! I advise you to be prepared to retreat, don't put your relationship and career in the same basket, and they will fall into scum together."

Huo Zi'an was upset, this matter troubled him more than rectifying and closing the store.There are too many things in it that are tied to his feelings. You Liangchen, his shop, the two old people from your family, the courtyard house, the neighbors in the alley, he doesn't want to lose any of them...

"I'll think about it...Let's talk about it after this hurdle."

Huo Zian suddenly had nothing to do.He has been in Beijing for more than half a year, this is the first time he is so free.He has a lot of time to visit the market, study new dishes and techniques, and occasionally go to other chefs' kitchens to learn and exchange gossip.

He took everyone to a buffet dinner for the embassy, ​​and went to a vintage market to set up a stall.He thought that this would somewhat relieve everyone's anxiety and maintain everyone's morale, but who knew that the effect was completely opposite——

Chen Lang was so happy that she didn't think about leaving. She was lazy in the first place, but now she was working all the time, which was in her arms. "It's so good now, I only work two days a week, or should we close the shop?!"

Huo Zian: "..."

Wei Guoen was not much better.Originally, Huo Zian was most worried about his emotions, who knew that he met a French student at the buffet, and wished he could get tired of being together 48 hours a day.Now he is pestering Zian, not about cooking, but about learning French.

Huo Zian understands the pissing nature of the French, and advises: "Guo En, don't be so tense when you are in love, especially with the French, you have to relax and enjoy it."

Wei Guoen didn't listen at all, nodded casually, and asked again: "Teacher, I love you very much, how can I say it? I don't love you in general, I love you very much. I can't do without you."

Huo Zian was stunned.You Liangchen said from the side: "You might as well ask 'sleeping at my house tonight'."

Wei Guoen blushed immediately, said in a low voice, "Rogue!", turned and left.

You Liangchen and Huo Zi were at ease.Yu Liangchen: "You can't be a virgin, can you?"

Huo Zian: "Guoen is so innocent, I hope that girl loves him so much."

You Liangchen approached him and asked in a low voice, "Teacher, what do you say I love you very, very much?"

Huo Zian put his arms around his waist and whispered a series of words in his ear.You Liangchen only heard a string of breaths, warming his earlobe softly, wondering why he was so... slutty?No, it must not be a language problem, but a problem with the person speaking.

His whole body was hot and crisp: "You fool me! Is that what you said?"

Huo Zian smiled, "What I said is, sleep at my house tonight."
