The president makes me cook every day

There are too many ingredients in the octopus balls, and they are so heavy that they are about to fall when they are inserted by chopsticks.

"Mr. Chen, please take a group photo over there."

Someone was calling Chen Dongyang, he was going to socialize with the judges and other suits and ties, but Yu Xiaorong's big octopus balls were still in the air.

"Keep it for me, I'll come to you later." Chen Dongyang said to Xiaorong.

"Okay." The octopus balls were taken back, and the steaming heat just now was gone.

Yu Xiaorong pursed his lips, cut another piece of butter, and started to make the second pot of octopus balls.

In the last three or ten minutes, his movements became faster and faster, one big ball after another was inserted, until all the ingredients were used up.

A staff member came and took away his plate.

The other chefs have also finished, and while they started social activities in groups of three or four, they waited for the judges to announce the results on the spot.

Yu Xiaorong was isolated, he didn't know anyone, and he didn't know how to fit into this situation.

He put all the meatballs he made into a clean vegetable safe box, put them in a plastic bag, and took them out of the venue.

"Chef, don't you wait for the judges to announce the shortlist?" When he came out, a staff member asked him.

"No need." Yu Xiaorong had no intention of continuing the game at all.It's just that when he stepped out of the gate, he still couldn't help but look back, because he still didn't wait for Chen Dongyang to come.

Yu Xiaorong stood outside the venue and called Xiao Fei, but he couldn't get through, saying that he was not in the service area.

***

Xiao Fei ran out of the competition venue two hours ago, running like crazy in the night wind.

In fact, there is Fang Minghao's location in the phone. Many years ago, the two connected with the couple app and never uninstalled it.

It's been more than a year since we broke up, and Fang Minghao's position has always been at home, and the farthest place has never been beyond the vegetable market in front of his house, and he will check it every day.

Today suddenly changed.After he picked Xiao Rong up, the little arrow representing Fang Minghao followed them and left the house, following them not too close or far away a few hundred meters away.Watching them enter the venue and then leave alone.

When Xiao Fei chased it out, the little arrow was in front, heading towards the nearby Tanlong Bay.

They often came to play in that place after school when they were young. It was a pool of running water accumulated by the moat of the old Beijing, where white reeds grew.

When he was a child, Fang Minghao told him that there was a great-grandfather in the old Fang family who was originally the master chef in the palace of Emperor Xuantong.In the year when Puyi was kicked out of Beijing, my great-grandfather sacrificed the big black dragon knife at home alone in the early morning, kowtowed three times in the direction of the Forbidden City when he went out, and then plunged into the reeds in Tanlong Bay and never came out again.

Fang Minghao said that his great-grandfather felt that no one would eat his cooking anymore, and that life would be meaningless.

Xiao Fei said that as long as he is willing to leave the palace, the most indispensable thing in this world is people waiting to eat.

Fang Minghao also said that what is missing is not people, but spirit.

What spirit?Fang Minghao couldn't speak again.

This person has been a fool since he was a child, and he likes to admit some truths that he seems to understand but doesn't understand. Xiao Fei is the most lazy to reason with sand sculptures, because it doesn't make sense at all.

Fang Minghao's father passed away a few months after he was imprisoned, Xiao Fei kept hiding it from him and did not dare to tell him, maybe it was because of this incident that the two had a rift.

When he first returned to China, Xiao Fei had been with him for a whole year, fought and fought, and he must have told him all the truths that can be said in this world, but what's the use?

Some people just draw the ground as a prison, and then force themselves into a trapped beast.

Xiao Fei got angry, he shook his hands and walked away after saying harsh words, went outside the cage to watch secretly, to see how long he could bear before running out to chase after him.

They waited and consumed each other, not knowing who was trapping whom.

Today, when he finally ran out, Xiao Fei became anxious again.

Xiao Fei ran frantically on the sidewalk by the lake, Fang Minghao's last location disappeared in the original center of the reeds.

Everyone is walking towards the venue. After the competition, there will be a food festival there, and there will be the latest and best things, waiting for leisure people to entertain and taste.

Xiao Fei was the only one walking the wrong direction. He pushed aside the crowd blocking the way and rushed to the edge of Tanlong Bay. The shallow beach where reeds once grew became a concrete road platform, and the railings to prevent people from falling into the water were blocked.

In the end, he rushed towards the place where Fang Minghao's little arrow stopped.

The wind was blowing, and Tanlong Bay under the night turned into a black sea.

Someone under the streetlight came over and grabbed him, Xiao Fei flung him away fiercely, and now he wanted to rush over for no apparent reason, to a place outside the railing that he couldn't see, no matter where it was.

As long as Fang Minghao is there, he will go there no matter what.

They have known each other for too long, childhood, adolescence and youth are almost all entangled together, how can they be separated.If Fang Minghao was really going to be pulled out of his body, he was in so much pain that he didn't even know who he was.

If he loses his soul, he also loses his soul.When he couldn't find it, he didn't know where to look for it.

Xiao Fei shook off the hand that was pulling him, and Fang Minghao took off his black hood.

"Such a tacit understanding, my wife, how do you know I'm here?"

Under the yellow street lights, Fang Minghao was wearing a black cap and T. He had been looking at Tanlong Bay alone for some time, and whether it was intentional to prevent Xiao Fei from finding him.

His heart was beating wildly, just running too fast, Xiao Fei bent down to support his knees, panting heavily.

The mobile phone had no signal at that time, and the signal was always bad, and even the location was not accurate.

From one person looking at the water in a daze, it became two people.It was only when Xiao Fei saw that the sky was full of stars that Xiao Fei remembered that he had to pick up Yu Xiaorong.

The street along the venue was already brightly lit, and the booths of the food festival were placed on the street. There were food from all over the world, exuding a tempting aroma under the night lights.

Yu Xiaorong was walking alone, carrying a plastic bag and a backpack, when he suddenly bumped into Xiao Fei and Fang Minghao in front of him.

Fang Minghao was tall and thin, he was half a head taller when he dangled in the crowd, and he could be recognized from a distance.

Yu Xiaorong jumped up and waved his hands: "Master Fang!"

Fang Minghao's eyes were locked in the direction of the venue, and he almost walked past Yu Xiaorong without seeing him.

It was Xiao Fei who gave him a hand.

"Huh? Why are you here?" Fang Minghao lowered his head and stared at Yu Xiaorong inexplicably.

"I, I'm done! I've done it!" Yu Xiaorong was a little bit aggrieved.

"What have you done?"

"This." He showed the plastic bag to Fang Minghao: "I brought out a lot, and it's still warm, for...you and...the teacher's wife?"

"What is this?" Fang Minghao came out with a big ball through a napkin: "You made this? The World Chef Challenge? Do you think he made this?"

Fang Minghao had that dumbfounding expression on his face, he looked at Xiao Fei with that expression, but Xiao Fei didn't smile.

"Yeah!" Yu Xiaorong happily agreed, "I even brought out a bottle of salad dressing!"

He also stuffed it into Fang Minghao's hand: "Try it! Try it!"

The three of them found a bench by the street and sat down. Fang Minghao really tasted it.

The big octopus balls in the palm are really hot, twist out a flower with salad dressing, take a bite, and the cheese that comes out of the core is still hot.

Sucking his tongue so hot, Fang Minghao held it in his palm and blew on it until the temperature was just right, then handed the remaining half to Xiao Fei.

"They are so wasteful. They robbed a lot of things and made only a little bit. I took back what was supposed to be thrown away and made meatballs, and they all laughed at me!"

Yu Xiaorong was a little indignant, and stood up while talking, standing in front of Fang Minghao and Xiao Fei and complaining loudly: "This competition is not fun at all, even the live broadcast is not as good, I will not participate!"

"You're not participating?"

Yu Xiaorong nodded to Fang Minghao: "I just want to learn how to cook well, and I don't want to participate in any competitions. I'd better return this knife to you! It may be a precious knife, but it's too heavy. I don't want to take it with me. .”

As he spoke, he took off the backpack from his shoulders and returned it to Fang Minghao's hands.
