What's so bad about this?

Huo Zian wanted to find his biological father, in the end it was just because he was confused, just like someone who wants to go home when he is frustrated, or wants to go to Tibet when he doubts his life, he wants to rest in a firm, stable and original place , See clearly what you look like now, and think about where you want to go next.

In the alley, in the courtyard of Youjia, he somewhat found this sense of solidity.Now that his father suddenly appeared in front of him, he felt uncomfortable-perhaps because he realized that his father was a person without "roots", and his life was like a badly bound book, which was mixed indiscriminately. Another story, out of tune, with a sudden change in style.He couldn't even tell what kind of person his father was, so how could he gain a sense of dependence on him?

Huo Zian asked: "Old Qiu, why did you say that my father came to me suddenly and wanted to help me prepare a restaurant?"

"For what? I love you, I feel sorry for you."

Huo Zian was silent.

Qiu Xinzhi smiled: "You don't believe it? Hey, as far as I know, he remarried. His wife's family is quite rich and her background is strong enough. He has two sons and a daughter, and the oldest one is still studying in the United States. So, he rarely You are quite a lot, and it would be a lot of trouble to recognize you. Or he would act as if he didn’t know you during the dinner, and then sneak up to look for you later? Who knows what he is for? In other words, why do you want to be so complicated? , He gave you money, gave you contacts, you are polite to him, you have to come back. You said right, Yu Liangchen? "

You Liangchen had been smoking silently by the side, at this moment he said lightly: "It's a fart! The beggars on the side of the road will not give you anything."

Qiu Xinzhi let out a "hey", frowned and said, "You two, you are more screwed than the other! See the reality clearly, you want to have an excellent Michelin three-star restaurant, but it is extremely difficult to do it yourself, you can say it is climbing high branches Whether you use your strengths or not, you must not miss this opportunity because of your emotions."

Huo Zi'an was silent.But Yu Liangchen said: "We can do it without any help."

"Be yourself! You Liangchen, are you out of your mind? This opportunity can not only help the restaurant, but also the two of you. The richer and more powerful Huo Zian's family is, the more successful the restaurant will be. Less."

"Bullshit logic! Whether his family has money or not is another matter whether we are together or not. Did he buy me with money or something?"

Qiu Xinzhi smiled: "Your mother might really be willing to sell you."

"Fuck me!"

Huo Zian's mind is full of thoughts, Qiu Xinzhi's words are not unreasonable, of course Aunt Kong will not sell her precious son, but the more successful the restaurant is, the more Aunt Kong trusts and relies on him, and the two of them will have more confidence in negotiating when they come out. advantage.

Qiu Xinzhi: "This is marrying into a wealthy family. If you don't want to, I am willing to marry. Zi'an, what do you think of me? If you accept me, I will help you get rid of your father and stepmother, and guarantee that the property will eventually belong to you."

"Fuck you, I'd rather not have a penny. My father's money has nothing to do with me!"

Qiu Xinzhi was in a hurry: "Hey, what kind of psychological barrier do you have? The money was delivered to the door, and you picked it up."

Huo Zian ignored him, and planned to end the argument immediately.He stood up, "It's enough for the three of us to know about this, don't spread it to other people, especially you, Lao Qiu, just watch your own mouth, I don't want other people in the restaurant to think too much!" After finishing speaking, he Pushed the bike away.

Qiu Xinzhi looked at You Liangchen in bewilderment: "Didn't Zi'an always want to find his father? Now that I see him, everyone is happy. Why is he acting so unhappy?"

You Liangchen said in a deep voice: "His father chatted with him for more than half an hour just now, and I heard most of what they said. His father said a lot, but he didn't mention his mother. It's been 30 years, father and son When we met again, his father didn't ask them how they were doing these years, but just talked about the future. Do you think Zian can be happy?"

Qiu Xinzhi was silent.Finally he shook his head: "Not mentioning it doesn't mean he doesn't care. Even if he really doesn't care, so what? Feelings are sometimes the most useless thing, and it's boring. If Zian wants to deal with his father, it's best Put your mind right, he is no longer the abandoned child, waiting for his father to care for him and love him; he should act like a mature adult, able to negotiate and wrestle with his father realistically, which is good for everyone."

You Liangchen agrees with Qiu Xinzhi's words. He also thinks that Huo Zian is stronger in front of his father, and cannot be dominated by past feelings and show his weak side.It's too embarrassing to face the father who once abandoned him!He threw the cigarette butt into the empty beer bottle, "Give him some time to digest, and he will figure it out slowly."

The humid and hot air gradually becomes clear, the sky is high and blue, and the most comfortable season in Beijing is coming.

The apples are down.Huo Zi'an brought in a batch of green apples with relatively high acidity, cut them into long thin slices, spread them on Australian abalone cubes, fried tofu cubes, king oyster mushrooms and kale, and it became a cold appetizer.The main course is charcoal-grilled lamb chops and bamboo noodles, and the dessert is 76% black chocolate ice cream.

On the night when the shop was closed, it was rare for Huo Zian and You Liangchen to eat alone. In the empty shop, the two turned on a small light and enjoyed their dinner quietly.Lamb chops are lightly sprinkled with sea salt and grilled over bincho charcoal until charred on the outside and tender on the inside, served with a simple mint sauce.Bamboo noodles are tossed with garlic and vinaigrette and served with crispy pickled radishes.

After roasting the mutton, other dishes are also ready.You Liangchen opened two bottles of cold beer and poured them into the frozen draft beer glasses.

The beer was chilling, and the smoke of the mutton filled the air. The two did not speak, enjoying this peaceful moment.

These days, even on closed days, the two have to find ingredients, or go to other restaurants to eat, socialize, and find inspiration.Huo Zian has been in Beijing for a long time, and his social circle is expanding day by day; in recent years, Beijing has become a key territory of the world's catering, many famous chefs will come here for exchanges, guest visits or private visits, and many of them are Huo Zian's old acquaintances. He also had to come out to the party reception, and even gossip for some cooperation.Lao Bao joked: "When a chef spends 70% of his time socializing, he is a famous chef. Zian, I think you are similar."

Most of Huo Zian's gatherings bring You Liangchen, the chef's dinner is not much different from other dinners, most of them are in the gossip circle, chatting about food, fitness, movie music, etc., because of this, You Liangchen has met a lot People, spoken English has also made great progress.

It's just that the two of them are busy every day, and they rarely have such quiet time alone.

Under the warm yellow light, there is only the slight sound of knives and forks.Looking at Huo Zian's gentle and elegant face, You Liangchen kicked him lightly under the table.

Huo Zian raised his eyes and smiled.it is more than words.

You Liangchen wasn't thinking about food, and his bare feet brushed against Huo Zian's ankles one after another.Huo Zian reprimanded: "Eat well!"

You Liangchen looked at him bluntly: "I want to eat something else."

Even if Huo Zian had a thick skin, his eyes made his face hot.He took off his shoes and entangled with You Liangchen's feet under the table.

When the two were inseparable, someone walked in.

Aunt Kong smiled and said: "Yo, I thought you guys had gone out, so you are hiding here to eat."

The two of them immediately sat upright, because their movements were a bit deliberate, and they both showed uncomfortable expressions on their faces.Aunt Kong is sensitive, and seeing the two being disturbed, she became vigilant.She felt that the relationship between her son and Zian was too good, and it was fine for the two men to eat together, but why was there such a gentle and quiet atmosphere at the dinner table...

But she didn't think too deeply - she had more important things to think about.She is very happy recently, she is so happy that she is floating when she walks. She tells everyone that she needs to eat two bowls of rice these days to walk properly.

She sat down unceremoniously, and said to Zi'an, "When shall we expand the store?"

Huo Zian: "Auntie, it's not the time yet, let's talk about it next year!"

"Why not in time! How many restaurants have opened beside the square, and each of them is bigger than ours; the street connected to the south of the hutong used to be a pharmacy on the right, but now it will be demolished and a parking lot will be built. You know, there are several restaurants in our hutong. The house is rented out, and they say they want to change it into a small theater, and the rent is four or five times that of mine!"

In the past two months, although there has been no change on the surface in Hutong, people's hearts are fluctuating, and the dark tide is surging.It is rumored that this area will be the focus of development, and a "block with Hutong characteristics and commercial value" will be established.In the quiet neighborhood where there were small restaurants and small shops scattered here and there, suddenly many people came to look for suitable stores.

These situations, both of them saw in the eyes, and knew the ins and outs.Therefore, they were all silent. Many people came to ask them about the situation, but none of them revealed anything.Huo Zi'an put down the fork and said, "No hurry, we still can't figure out the situation, we can wait."

"I can't wait any longer. The good locations are all being targeted by people. When you want them, they won't be available at this price! Anzi, let me tell you the truth, if we want to rent this place to someone else, I can charge hundreds of thousands more every year." .I'm cutting meat now..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Xinzhi walked in and interjected, "Auntie, do you want to take back this store? You are breaking the contract."

Aunt Kong said "Hey", "That's all I said! This is our store, so there's nothing I can't take back."

Qiu Xinzhi smiled affectionately: "I knew you were the most affectionate. If there was no restaurant like Zi'an, how could this area be so popular?"

Aunt Kong agreed, "That's right! Anzi, everyone in this area is looking at you. You should be more considerate. We have so many customers. Isn't it right to rent a store and increase the number of people?"

Huo Zian was speechless for a moment.According to his heart, he doesn't want to expand so fast, but he knows that everyone in the alley is paying attention to his movements, who cares about who rented the house, sold the house, how much the rent has increased... the surrounding atmosphere Make him restless.
