man to marry
Chapter 55
"Sit down," Mr. Xu pointed to the seat opposite Shu Xia, picked up the hot water pot on the table, poured him a glass of clear water, and said, "Don't be disgusted, it's easy to fall asleep when you drink tea at night, there are no drinks, only Clear water."
"Clear water is very good, thank you," Shu Xia was actually a little flattered by the fact that the old man poured water for him.
"You're welcome, kid. Don't be nervous. I don't eat people. Do you know what I asked you to do?" Xu Xiangqian asked with a smile. Although there were some gray hairs in his hair, he didn't look too old. Because of his love of laughing all the year round, there are deep laugh lines in the corners of his eyes.
Saying that he is a chef, Shu Xia thinks that he is more like a calligrapher, with a refined temperament, which makes people feel close to him.
"I don't know," Shu Xia really couldn't figure out his purpose, she smiled and shook her head.
Although his cooking skills are good, calling him here can't be a compliment?Or join the National Chefs Association, maybe his cooking skills are good enough, but the level of chefs is a bit ridiculous.
At least until he turned [-], he couldn't get an intermediate chef certificate.
"I really can't figure it out? I thought the little girl from the Liu family had already told you," Xu Xiangqian touched the finger on his hand with a smile and said, looking at Shu Xia's obviously puzzled eyes, he explained, "It's the current mistress of the merchant, Liu Zijun is also your mother-in-law."
"I know this," Shu Xia said with emotion. Although Shanglu's mother looks young, she is still called a little girl in her 40s. It can only show that the old man in front of her is very senior, but she just doesn't know if Aunt Liu knew how she would react when she was called a little girl.
But calling it that way also shows that the relationship between Mr. Xu and Aunt Liu is very good.
"Well, I actually don't intend to come to this competition," Xu Xiangqian looked at his hands carefully and said, "But that girl heard about my apprenticeship from somewhere, saying that her daughter-in-law is quite good." , if you don’t come, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life, so I’ll come and take a look…”
When Shu Xia heard this, she suddenly raised her head, and said nervously, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, I'm here to give you a chance to test your cooking skills. After three rounds of competition, you're really good kid," Xu Xiangqian pulled his hand over, slightly The big rough hand rolled his hand and said, "The knife is good, but there is not even a knife in the hand, that is really talented, but you have to be honest with me, did you still make some videos on the Internet?" , demonstrated knife skills."
Knowing that Lin Lang's live broadcast was recognized, Shu Xia nodded honestly, "I was called grandstanding at the time, and I haven't thanked you for speaking for me."
Xu Xiangqian let go of his hand and said, "I just said that these hands look similar, so they are really the same person. It's always you, your name, it's so boring, it makes the teacher look so kind, doesn't it?"
"Ah?" Shu Xia didn't realize it all at once. When she met the old man's smile, the smile on her lips could no longer be suppressed. "Are you going to accept me as an apprentice? I'm sorry, I'm a little excited..."
He didn't really pay homage to the teacher, he just got up, poured out the water in the pot and offered it up, "Teacher, please drink some water."
"It's fine to bring tea with water." Xu Xiangqian took the water he brought, took a sip with a smile and said, "I'm your teacher, if you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me."
"Yes," Shu Xia said with respect in his eyes.
"Don't be nervous," Xu looked at him tensely and said, "We are masters and apprentices, but you don't know, I am still the uncle of the little girl from the Liu family, and you are the daughter-in-law of the little tiger from the merchant, so you have to call me uncle and grandpa." If you are a relative, the teacher will not make things difficult for you."
After hearing this explanation, Shu Xia didn't feel nervous anymore, but she couldn't laugh or cry. This in-law map is really very powerful.
However, the power of the merchants is really powerful. Not only the Bai family on the Baimeng side, but also the Liu family on Aunt Liu's side, and the Xu family on Mr. Xu's side. Being able to stand for many years as the top wealthy family in City A.
"Well, I see, teacher," Shu Xia said with a smile, because of the relationship between relatives, she really felt a lot more close.
He lived a new life. In his previous life, he had a father as if he didn't have one. He only had his mother and grandmother, but they were not close. In his new life, not only his mother and grandmother were by his side and could be seen at any time, but also because of Shanglu's relationship, he had more love. A large and friendly family.
Shanglu's parents are his parents, and Shanglu's elder sister is his elder sister. Now that this person has been identified, relatives have called, and tea has been served, that man, don't even think about running away.
Shu Xia bid farewell to the teacher. When she got out of the hotel, she looked at Shanglu who was leaning on the car door looking at this place, waved her hand and ran over. When Shanglu was caught off guard, she tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, softly Say "Thank you."
Then he backed away and said with a smile, "Practice, so as not to be seen by others when you go home during the Chinese New Year."
The neon lights kept flashing through the window, Shu Xia savored Shanglu's surprised expression, thinking about this time.
If it was Aunt Liu, maybe he should be called mother-in-law now. If it was Mr. Xu invited by her old man, then he didn't tell the other side about his participation in the competition, how did mother-in-law know.
The only way can only be Shanglu. Only when he speaks will his parents take action, and Mr. Xu Xiangqian will be invited.
A master of the National Kitchen Association to be his master, that is a blessing that he couldn't even ask for in his previous life.
Was it really because Shang Lu did this because he regarded him as a friend?It was the first time Shu Xia thought about such a question.
Although he believed in Lin Xian very much, it was unavoidable that that guy sometimes had a mischievous fit and wanted to watch a play or something.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shang Lu stopped the car and asked him looking at him.
"It's okay." Shu Xia shook her head, got off the co-pilot, and went upstairs with Shang Lu.
He just thought of something and wanted to confirm it.
The night was dark, Xiao Shangchen had already fallen asleep, Shu Xia closed the bedroom door, and rummaged through the bookshelf for what he wanted to find.
Even though it was a small thing that happened a long time ago, he somehow remembered it, and the impression was extremely deep.
At the bottom of the bookshelf, Shu Xia rummaged through the notes used in the third year of high school. He was very glad that he did not have the habit of throwing books around, and because the university still needed to use the content of advanced mathematics in high school, the previous notes brought over.
And among those notes, there are a few books that Shanglu once gave him. He remembered that when he was flipping through the pages, he rubbed the ink that was not dry on it. At that time, he didn't think about it deeply. One thing, but inexplicably remembered.
The notes that have been flipped through many times are slightly yellow. Even if Shu Xia cherishes the book, there will still be some marks on it after flipping through the book. He spread out a book and put it on the table, and took a contract from the side and put it on next to it.
That contract was the one they signed for the first time when they sold wild ginseng. It was the closest to this notebook, and the handwriting was the most similar, or it could be said to be exactly the same.
The handwriting is Shanglu's, but it's a pity that it's not the old one, but rewritten. Shu Xia has flipped through many pages, and she can find a lot of scratches without deliberately flipping through them.
If it was an old note, even if his palms were stained with sweat, there would not be such marks. It could only be that it was new when Shang Lu sent it over.
Friends... Will friends really do that?
He was friends with Wang Zhi, at most he would tutor him in his homework, give him corrections, or lend him his notes, but he would never rewrite a new one for him, and it must meet the key points at that time.
The marriage contract, the gift of concealed value, the selflessness in the deep mountains, and the hugging and sleeping that night, all these things were like being lifted from the tulle covering it, making Shu Xia caress With the notes in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.
He was thinking that maybe Shang Lu really liked him, and it was earlier than he expected.
If they were in love, it would be really funny to talk about his careful probing for so many days.
Shu Xia carefully recalled Shanglu's reaction when he teased her, bit her knuckles, and took out a black mobile phone from the side drawer. The screen of the mobile phone was torn apart, and it was dropped in a mountain. If there is no repair, it may be left like this. Now think about it, if it is repaired, there may be unexpected gains.
It's not that he is not confident in his speculation, but that he needs to confirm that he is special to Shanglu.
The hair dryer is turned on to the hot air. Shu Xia remembers that she has seen such a method somewhere. If the phone gets wet, you can use the hair dryer to dry the water inside, and maybe it can be used again.
Such a method may not be credible, but when Shu Xia was doing this, she also knew that peeking at other people's mobile phones is actually not good, so using this uncertain method is regarded as a bet. Everything is left to God to decide, if he wins the bet, it doesn't matter if he loses the bet.
The back case of the mobile phone was opened, and there were still wet marks in it. Shu Xia lowered her head and blew carefully until the parts inside were completely dry before installing the back case and pressing the power button.
Shu Xia pressed the button for a full minute, the screen was dark, and there was no sign of lighting up. He was a little discouraged, but he felt relieved. He put down the phone, put the notes back to the original position, and when he turned around, , but found that the phone screen on the table lit up.
Shu Xia swallowed her saliva, lifted her heart that had just been let go, and looked at the screen of the phone with a little nervousness.
He knew that the man's mobile phone had never been in the habit of locking the screen, so the information left before, or what he had said to others, might mention his feelings for him.
While poking at the somewhat fragmented screen, Shu Xia muttered in a low voice, "I don't watch anything, I don't watch anything..."
There is no way, for emotional matters, he really can only be cautious and cautious. He really doesn't want to hurt himself again before he has confirmed Shanglu's relationship.
The text message record is opened, there is no mobile phone card, all the remarks on the previously saved messages have become mobile phone numbers, but Shu Xia can recite the phone number at the beginning because it is his mobile phone number.
His fingers trembled slightly, but suddenly the red text on the bottom of the phone showed that the battery was exhausted, and it will shut down due to low battery in 30 seconds.
Shu Xia "!!!"
During those 30 seconds, Shu Xia was stunned for three seconds, and spent 15 seconds looking for the charging cable of the mobile phone to plug it in. She was in a hurry until she saw the charging icon on the phone. She was relieved and sat on the bed and patted her heart. This time it was turned off, and I don't know if it can be turned on again.
30 seconds was enough stimulation, and Shu Xia took a breather for a while, and only reopened the text message page when she saw that the battery was no longer displayed in red.
[The weather is getting colder, remember to wear more clothes. ]
[OK, thanks. ]
……
[The seasonal fruit is strawberries, sweet and sour, very suitable for this season. ]
[It seems that you like eating fruit very much. ]
[Eating more fruits is good for your health. ]
……
[Efforts to study should also pay attention to the body, the body is the capital of the revolution. ]
[Okay, I see, thank you for your concern, don’t be too busy with work, the body is the capital of the revolution. ]
……
Stereotyped words, a message that only comes out every two or three days, this tone, this way of answering, Shu Xia now has the exact same tone in her mobile phone, but since she married Shanglu, she has lost it. a lot of.
He used to think that that person was tired of such endless chatting, and he was right. After all, he is a stranger. Even friends in reality, when the chat is not satisfactory, they will cut off for a long time. Communication, this gentleman who I don't know may be busy with other things, or there are other people who need to care, so it is normal to not contact so frequently.
Now that I think about it, it's just because we live together, it's more convenient to care about them, so why do we need to use text messages to talk about them.
The handwritten notes, the gift with concealed value, and a health care man who pretended to be a friend made Shu Xia have to suspect that the beginning of their marriage was planned by that guy.
Calculated in this way, there are quite a lot of things that he hides from him. As for Shang Luxi, does he like him?
If the answer to this question is that you don't like it, Shu Xia will write her name upside down, and die with that guy by the way.
As for whether he likes Shanglu?Of course I like it, who doesn't like a man who will quietly care about you and love you behind his back, but there are too many tricks, Shu Xia feels that he has to expose that guy's tricks one by one first.
And seeing how cautious he is with himself, he doesn't seem to know that he likes him, so maybe he can play a little bit.
Maybe it's because the favored people are somewhat confident, things that Shu Xia never dared to do before, but now she wants to try them all once.
For example... Shu Xia pinched the phone and smiled happily.
Shang Lu was leaning on the bed and reading a book, and suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand on end.
It's been a long time since this feeling of something bad happened to him.
"Okay, the TV is over, you can go home," Lin Xian said, looking at Bai Meng who was holding on to the door frame, and said with arms folded.
"I won't go, Lin Xian, you cross the river and tear down the bridge," Bai Meng firmly grabbed the door frame, preventing Lin Xian from picking up the back of his neck like before, and was about to throw him out. The strength of his whole body prevented him, but he still couldn't understand why Lin Xian, an otaku who likes to sleep late, is stronger than him, a person who exercises regularly, but let's ignore the "if I didn't tell you my cousin To participate in the competition, you still can't see it."
"So I have allowed you to stay at my house for a day." Lin Xian simply sat on the armrest of the sofa by the door, and when Bai Meng was eager to see the room, he raised one leg and pressed against the other side of the door to stop him. Followed someone's footsteps and said, "You should go home."
"What's the matter with staying with me for one night? I won't do anything to you." Bai Meng bent his knee against that leg, put his face in his waist with a smile and said, "Could it be that you are worried about what you will do to me?"
At that moment, Lin Xian really wanted to pinch his face to see if it was made of cowhide. He sighed and said, "Don't worry, even if you take off your clothes and stand in front of me, I won't do anything to you." If you're interested, go home, I don't have any spare room for you to live in."
"Then I can sleep on the sofa. It's so late and I'm going home alone. Don't you feel sorry if something happens?" Bai Meng carefully grabbed the hem of his clothes and murmured, "Stay One night, one night, one night..."
"It's not dangerous," Lin Xian sneered, "but I remember that I didn't dare to enter the haunted house at the amusement park. If I didn't go back so late, it wouldn't be because I was afraid of ghosts?"
"Who's afraid of ghosts?!" Bai Mengmeng put his hands on his waist, and was about to declare how brave he was, but after a quick turn of his mind, he saw Lin Xian's expression of just waiting for him to leave after being provoked, and immediately slapped his hands. Put it down from the waist, grabbed Lin Xian's arm and said, "No, I'm a scary ghost, please take care of me..."
Lin Xian "..."
He clearly felt that his bottom line was slowly receding, and his tolerance for this person was significantly increasing.
Then his own sister stepped on his bottom line again, "Brother, what are you afraid of letting him stay for one night? Isn't he a squirrel? How much space can such a few mice take up?"
"I'm not a mouse!" Bai Meng was angry, squirrels are far from mice, okay?
Lin Mang glared at him, signaling with his eyes, do you want to stay?
Bai Meng was silently discouraged, and looked at Lin Xian eagerly, his little eyes were quite sad.
"Just one night, stay on the sofa, and leave before eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Lin Xian withdrew his feet and walked towards his bedroom, without giving Bai Meng a second glance.
After getting acquainted with Shu Xia, he seemed to soften a lot.
……
The air in the morning is very good. It is the happiest thing to wake up every morning with your beloved boy by your side during the morning exercise, especially when someone you know passes by and ask, "The young couple come out for morning exercise together?" "when.
Shang Lu hummed lightly, when the boy acquiesced, it was his happiest time.
However, in the early morning of the second day when his hairs stood on end, the teenager sprained his foot while running.
Shang Lu helped him to sit down on the stone bench next to him, squatted down and looked at the red ankle, touched it lightly with his fingers and said, "Does it hurt here?"
Shu Xia watched the man squatting down without any hesitation, feeling inexplicably full in her heart, feeling a little hot and happy, nodded lightly and said, "It hurts a bit."
Shang Lu didn't notice his emotional changes, but touched other places with some distress, and asked one by one. After Shu Xia finished answering, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I didn't hurt my bones. Go back and spray some medicine. Just rest for two days."
"Well," Shu Xia really didn't sprain the injury on purpose. He intentionally hurt himself for the sake of a man's distress. He just taught Bai Meng a lesson, so naturally he couldn't do it to himself. It's just that he doesn't know which wicked person is on the way Throwing a small stone, he stepped on it without paying attention, and sprained his foot as a result.
"Can you go?" Shang Lu helped her up and asked.
Shu Xia tried it, it's okay to limp, but he was injured, why did he walk by himself.
Shu Xia gritted her teeth, leaned on Shang Lu's arms suddenly, and when she felt the man's stiffness, he hissed, "It seems to be in too much pain, I can't walk."
Let you pretend in front of me, and I will see how long you can pretend.
Shanglu's previous distraction disappeared, and he only helped Shu Xia and asked with concern, "Does it really hurt? I just touched the bone for you. If it's safe, you still have to go to the hospital for a professional examination."
"No need, we can actually leave." When Shu Xia sensed his concern, she felt a little guilty, and said he was stupid. After so long, he didn't find any clues about many things, but he was smart. When encountering his affairs, it seemed that he lost his usual sense of proportion.
Why didn't he find out earlier, Shu Xia thought, he was probably stupid too.
"It's just that the way back is too far, can I trouble you to carry me on your back," Shu Xia said with a little embarrassment on her face, but she was looking forward to it in her heart.
Although it is temporarily impossible to hug directly, it is also a very happy thing to be able to carry the back.
In this world, the best love is when I like you, I just found out that you like me too.
"Yes," Shanglu didn't hesitate, and even squatted down with a little expectation, feeling the boy's arms around his neck, his chest against his back, and the heartbeat could be faintly felt time, and then helped his legs to stand up.
Shu Xia's stature is slender, but his height is not particularly light, but his weight is really nothing to Shang Lu, and he even feels a little thin.
"I usually eat too little, so light." Phytophthora could feel the heat of the young man's body. His breathing, which had been calmed down after exercising, felt a little short again. He walked slowly on the flat road, But there is a kind of expectation that this road will be infinitely long.
Shu Xia was lying on his back, with broad and warm shoulders, a fast and steady heartbeat, and a slightly unstable breath, all of which showed that this man cared about him. He was even thinking, if he could stay It will be fine on this back for a lifetime.
"My weight belongs to the body weight, and I will gain weight if I eat any more," Shu Xia whispered in his ear, breathing the heat there intentionally, and when she felt the man's hand suddenly tightened, she hugged his shoulder and smiled It's the same as a cat that stole the fish.
"Hmm...um..." Shanglu felt the heat on his neck, and his mind became hot for a while, and all the words he wanted to say before were forgotten.
Although neither of them wanted this road to come to an end, it was a pity that they saw the building that belonged to them in less than ten minutes. After spraying the medicine for treatment, there was no serious injury in the first place. After spraying the medicine, Shu Xia was even more I can't even feel pain when I walk a few steps.
Naturally, even though Phytolaca objected, he still arranged the breakfast.
Phytolacca's favorite heart-shaped poached eggs were swept away by this man.
After dinner, Shang Lu was going to work, he changed his clothes, put on his coat and passed in front of Shu Xia, but was stopped by the boy.
"What's the matter?" Shanglu looked at the boy sitting on the sofa, walked over and said, "Don't run around today, do you need me to bring something back, or?"
"It's not those, bow your head," Shu Xia said, and Shang Lu bowed his head in a knowledgeable way.
Shu Xia couldn't hold back the smile on his lips, grabbed his tie, straightened it with his hands, raised his eyes from such a close distance and said, "I didn't fix the tie properly, I'm afraid you will be laughed at by others when you go to the hospital."
"Thank you," Shang Lu looked at such a close distance, and could almost see every eyelash of the young man clearly. They were curly and long, and they were more natural and beautiful than those eyelashes after putting on makeup.
"You're welcome." Shu Xia straightened his tie for him, pulled it when he was about to get up, and smiled at Shanglu's slightly surprised eyes, "I think we can develop the habit of kissing when we go out, so that Parents won't notice the clues then." He smiled, pulled Shanglu's tie close to him, lightly kissed that cheek, and said with a very natural smile, "Can you get used to it?"
Shanglu's heart was beating violently, as if he couldn't get out of the breath he was holding in his heart, he stared closely at the young man in front of him, and said with difficulty, "Get used to it."
Of course he will get used to it, but he feels that the blood is flowing a little fast, and if he doesn't get up again, he may not be able to hold it.
Shu Xia let go in time, and Shang Lu's pent-up breath finally came out slowly, and when he went out, it even seemed a little bit like running away.
Shu Xia wiped the corners of her lips, the corners of her lips expanded uncontrollably, and she stomped her feet almost uncontrollably. He was sure that Shanglu really liked him.
"Why do you feel like you can't laugh?" Wang Zhi kept looking at Shu Xia's expression throughout the whole class. The feeling of smiling or not, but the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are smiling, really. It made him goosebumps all over his body, "In love?"
Could it be that his buddy confessed to Shanglu?No way, according to the trend of their chattering, he thinks they have to chatter for a few more years.
"No, I worshiped a master," Shu Xia glanced at him, and lied casually. After the last trial, he began to have doubts about Wang Zhi's EQ.
With Shanglu's appearance, he obviously likes him, but Wang Zhi didn't notice it at all. If he did this, he is basically a useless buddy.
"Ah? What master?" Wang Zhi knew about Shu Xia's participation in that culinary competition. He didn't know it at first. That TV station was not a TV station with high ratings, and culinary competitions were not very attractive to young people. People, but the new school grass of A University is too good-looking.
Waves of new news were completely pushed up by the enthusiasm of the audience, and quickly spread among the crowd, naturally causing a sensation on the campus of University A.
It may sound a little strange that the campus male god participated in the cooking competition, but after seeing the male god's cooking performance, the group of girls went crazy, which made Shu Xia really dare not be in school except for class. If you stay inside for a long time, you are afraid of being chased and intercepted.
Wang Zhi was lucky enough to watch it once. The knife was used. Anyway, he felt that he dared to play like that, so he didn't have to use his hand. No wonder the girls covered their faces and screamed.
He is handsome, good at studying, and knows how to cook. He seems to be quite rich. For girls in college, he is almost a male god. Let those girls calm down a little bit.
But what the hell is this recognition of the master, he has no idea at all.
"Let me tell you, don't spread the word to me quickly," Shu Xia repeatedly ordered. Although Senior Xu didn't say that he was not allowed to spread the matter of his apprenticeship, Shu Xia subconsciously felt that the teacher probably didn't like it. Others talked a lot about their master-student relationship.
"Well, I understand, brother's mouth has never been tight." Wang Zhi gave him an ok gesture.
Of course Shu Xia is at ease with him, after all, Wang Zhi knows many things about him, and this guy is also a person who knows how to measure when it is critical.
"Is that the old gentleman you saw who gave me the award? It's him, a super chef, and one of the vice-chairmen of the National Culinary Association..." Shu Xia quickly covered Wang Zhi's big mouth Mouth said: "Okay, don't shout."
Wang Zhi murmured and nodded twice, moved close to Shu Xia and rolled his eyes and said, "My mother, buddy, you are really amazing, that kind of national figure is not something that ordinary people of my generation can get in touch with, thanks After becoming a master, it feels like worshiping a top martial arts master, and the force will rise immediately."
"Come on, it's still pretty cool, brother, I've always been pretty good, okay?" Shu Xia rolled his eyes at him.
Wang Zhi muttered, "The girls should really listen to the shameless words of the campus male god who is narcissistic, but it's not right, you worshiped a master, why did you smile like Sichun, and said, are you in love. "
"I'm a married person, who am I dating?" Shu Xia packed up her books and left, not caring about Wang Zhi's presence.
The students were crowded together, there were many people discussing beside Shu Xia, and there were even more onlookers. Shu Xia just stood there calmly, but no one dared to take a step closer to him.
In Wang Zhi's words, that is an aura of [-] meters.
"Hello, my classmate," when Shu Xia walked down the stairs, a man in formal attire walked up, handed over his business card and said, "I am the manager of Daxin Film and Television Company, and my surname is Zhao. May I ask if we Shall we talk about it together? We are very optimistic about your popularity regarding your participation in that show. If you join our company, you will become the brightest star of tomorrow..."
His eloquent talk is very tempting, at least the classmates and Wang Zhi who are watching are very moved. Being a star is almost the dream of many people, because in the impression of many people, the star seems to be really different from many ordinary people. People seem to be different, being held up by many people seems to be raised to a higher level.
"Hey, Shu Xia, becoming a star is amazing," Wang Zhi said excitedly, poking his lower back.
In front of everyone, Shu Xia took his business card calmly and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, but I am only a student, so I have failed your kindness."
After he finished speaking, he took Wang Zhi away, completely ignoring other people's admiration, disappointment, or emotion.
The so-called manager wanted to catch up from behind, but tripped inexplicably, and was submerged in the crowd, unable to catch up again.
"Hey, buddy, you're not excited," Wang Zhi got into Shu Xia's car, and was so lazy that he didn't even bother to take the few steps home. The girls screamed in groups, what kind of pick-up, solidarity, it's awesome to think about it."
"Do you think that kind of life is easy?" Shu Xia put on her seat belt, smiled and broke his fantasy, "Besides, I have never heard of the so-called brokerage company. There are good-looking people in the entertainment industry." Mostly, I am not the only one, why can I become the so-called star of tomorrow, and you will believe the tricks of small brokerage companies."
"Really?" Wang Zhi scratched his hair and said, "How can it be like this?"
"Why can't it be like this?" Shu Xia still has a little understanding of that aspect. In the entertainment circle, everyone chases after stars every day, but those who can really stand on the high ground and become stars are just a few people, or dozens of people.
Countless newcomers and oldcomers were submerged in the vast ocean due to insufficient traffic and popularity. Even the stars who stood at the top, perhaps because of one or two scandals, or because there were no good works, lost their jobs. Falling off the altar, completely out of breath.
It looks glamorous, but in fact, every bit of it is exposed to everyone's sight. The eyes of the paparazzi are all-pervasive. That kind of pressure is not something ordinary people can bear. Depression is also possible.
Shu Xia has never longed for that kind of life. Maybe some people are born stars, and he is not afraid to stand in front of others, but he just doesn't like that kind of life.
Whether he participates in the program or conducts the live broadcast, it is all for his shop. He always remembers that he is a chef and a businessman at the same time.
"Anyway, you are always more knowledgeable than me. You can decide for yourself about this kind of thing," Wang Zhi scratched his hair and said, "I'm just yelling, don't listen to me."
"I know," Shu Xia drove to his community, and sighed, "It takes 5 minutes to take a car, I'm convinced."
"Slightly..." Wang Zhi stuck out his tongue at him, instead of getting out of the car in a hurry, but sighed, "In the end, your Linlang's business is very impressive, otherwise those people wouldn't be able to come to you."
"Maybe," Shu Xia said with a smile.
Since that event, Linlang has obviously had more customers than before. There is no time to be free all day long. The more customers, the more profits will naturally come. Even the company is already preparing for the third branch. location.
As for the fourth company, the manager's suggestion is not to continue to open in City A, but to spread to the surrounding cities.
Although city a is densely populated and has a huge flow of people, it is enough to have three stores here. The old stores can be expanded in the later stage, but if more are added, it may affect the later benefits.
Now there are a lot of customers, most of them are still greedy for novelty, or come here because of the reputation. In the later stage, when this wave of upsurge is over and the source of customers is stable, it is like a lot of branch stores diverting, which will only lead to a decline in profitability.
Shu Xia also very much agrees with that professional manager's suggestion. He didn't understand many things before, but after learning his major, he now has answers to some things that had puzzled him before.
It's just that if he wants to spread the store in the surrounding second-tier cities within a year, the funds on hand are not enough, and he needs to find another way. On the contrary, it is easier to solve it with better personnel. Many chefs Knowing his high salary and good guidance here, there are really many people who come here attracted by his reputation. This is the benefit of participating in the cooking competition.
……
"Wow, bang, bang! Chop, chop, chop! Ding..."
Early in the morning, all kinds of messy sounds spread in the room, not afraid of the bedroom door, very penetrating.
The person on the bed frowned in his sleep, and suddenly pulled up the quilt covering his chest, but the various sounds came, as if even the bed was trembling, very disturbing to sleep .
The person on the bed originally planned to endure this for a while, but the voice showed no sign of stopping, but intensified...
Lin Xian pulled the quilt away from the top of his head, got off the bed with half-closed eyes, went to the door of the room and pulled the door open, shouting displeasedly, "It's early in the morning, it's so noisy!!!"
The voice stopped immediately, and the door opposite Lin Xian opened, Lin Mang came out rubbing his eyes, frowned and said, "Who is it, it's so noisy in the morning, it's been a long weekend and I can't sleep too late .”
Lin Xian pulled his hair to the top of his head, looked at Lin Mang opposite, frowned, and looked at the place where the sound came from, that was the kitchen.
When his eyes looked over, a head poked out from the kitchen, and he smiled and showed two canine teeth, "Good morning, I'm making breakfast."
"Breakfast?" Lin Xian's face was gloomy. "Those who knew said you were making breakfast, but those who didn't know thought you were demolishing the house."
"It's noisy to you, it's my first time doing it, it's a bit unfamiliar," Bai Meng said embarrassedly.
"It's the first time," Lin Xian had a bad feeling in his heart. With a sullen face, he walked up to Bai Meng in a few steps, looked at the doorknob he was holding tightly with his back turned and said, "Oh? Let me see your breakfast."
"That, I haven't done it yet," Bai Meng squinted his eyes, with a guilty expression on his face.
"It's okay, I don't care," Lin Xian smiled, "It's fine if you like it."
Bai Meng's eyes were dazzled for a moment, and the door behind him was pushed open with a bang, and a burning smell came to his nostrils.
When Lin Xian saw the situation in the kitchen, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Clear water is very good, thank you," Shu Xia was actually a little flattered by the fact that the old man poured water for him.
"You're welcome, kid. Don't be nervous. I don't eat people. Do you know what I asked you to do?" Xu Xiangqian asked with a smile. Although there were some gray hairs in his hair, he didn't look too old. Because of his love of laughing all the year round, there are deep laugh lines in the corners of his eyes.
Saying that he is a chef, Shu Xia thinks that he is more like a calligrapher, with a refined temperament, which makes people feel close to him.
"I don't know," Shu Xia really couldn't figure out his purpose, she smiled and shook her head.
Although his cooking skills are good, calling him here can't be a compliment?Or join the National Chefs Association, maybe his cooking skills are good enough, but the level of chefs is a bit ridiculous.
At least until he turned [-], he couldn't get an intermediate chef certificate.
"I really can't figure it out? I thought the little girl from the Liu family had already told you," Xu Xiangqian touched the finger on his hand with a smile and said, looking at Shu Xia's obviously puzzled eyes, he explained, "It's the current mistress of the merchant, Liu Zijun is also your mother-in-law."
"I know this," Shu Xia said with emotion. Although Shanglu's mother looks young, she is still called a little girl in her 40s. It can only show that the old man in front of her is very senior, but she just doesn't know if Aunt Liu knew how she would react when she was called a little girl.
But calling it that way also shows that the relationship between Mr. Xu and Aunt Liu is very good.
"Well, I actually don't intend to come to this competition," Xu Xiangqian looked at his hands carefully and said, "But that girl heard about my apprenticeship from somewhere, saying that her daughter-in-law is quite good." , if you don’t come, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life, so I’ll come and take a look…”
When Shu Xia heard this, she suddenly raised her head, and said nervously, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, I'm here to give you a chance to test your cooking skills. After three rounds of competition, you're really good kid," Xu Xiangqian pulled his hand over, slightly The big rough hand rolled his hand and said, "The knife is good, but there is not even a knife in the hand, that is really talented, but you have to be honest with me, did you still make some videos on the Internet?" , demonstrated knife skills."
Knowing that Lin Lang's live broadcast was recognized, Shu Xia nodded honestly, "I was called grandstanding at the time, and I haven't thanked you for speaking for me."
Xu Xiangqian let go of his hand and said, "I just said that these hands look similar, so they are really the same person. It's always you, your name, it's so boring, it makes the teacher look so kind, doesn't it?"
"Ah?" Shu Xia didn't realize it all at once. When she met the old man's smile, the smile on her lips could no longer be suppressed. "Are you going to accept me as an apprentice? I'm sorry, I'm a little excited..."
He didn't really pay homage to the teacher, he just got up, poured out the water in the pot and offered it up, "Teacher, please drink some water."
"It's fine to bring tea with water." Xu Xiangqian took the water he brought, took a sip with a smile and said, "I'm your teacher, if you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me."
"Yes," Shu Xia said with respect in his eyes.
"Don't be nervous," Xu looked at him tensely and said, "We are masters and apprentices, but you don't know, I am still the uncle of the little girl from the Liu family, and you are the daughter-in-law of the little tiger from the merchant, so you have to call me uncle and grandpa." If you are a relative, the teacher will not make things difficult for you."
After hearing this explanation, Shu Xia didn't feel nervous anymore, but she couldn't laugh or cry. This in-law map is really very powerful.
However, the power of the merchants is really powerful. Not only the Bai family on the Baimeng side, but also the Liu family on Aunt Liu's side, and the Xu family on Mr. Xu's side. Being able to stand for many years as the top wealthy family in City A.
"Well, I see, teacher," Shu Xia said with a smile, because of the relationship between relatives, she really felt a lot more close.
He lived a new life. In his previous life, he had a father as if he didn't have one. He only had his mother and grandmother, but they were not close. In his new life, not only his mother and grandmother were by his side and could be seen at any time, but also because of Shanglu's relationship, he had more love. A large and friendly family.
Shanglu's parents are his parents, and Shanglu's elder sister is his elder sister. Now that this person has been identified, relatives have called, and tea has been served, that man, don't even think about running away.
Shu Xia bid farewell to the teacher. When she got out of the hotel, she looked at Shanglu who was leaning on the car door looking at this place, waved her hand and ran over. When Shanglu was caught off guard, she tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, softly Say "Thank you."
Then he backed away and said with a smile, "Practice, so as not to be seen by others when you go home during the Chinese New Year."
The neon lights kept flashing through the window, Shu Xia savored Shanglu's surprised expression, thinking about this time.
If it was Aunt Liu, maybe he should be called mother-in-law now. If it was Mr. Xu invited by her old man, then he didn't tell the other side about his participation in the competition, how did mother-in-law know.
The only way can only be Shanglu. Only when he speaks will his parents take action, and Mr. Xu Xiangqian will be invited.
A master of the National Kitchen Association to be his master, that is a blessing that he couldn't even ask for in his previous life.
Was it really because Shang Lu did this because he regarded him as a friend?It was the first time Shu Xia thought about such a question.
Although he believed in Lin Xian very much, it was unavoidable that that guy sometimes had a mischievous fit and wanted to watch a play or something.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shang Lu stopped the car and asked him looking at him.
"It's okay." Shu Xia shook her head, got off the co-pilot, and went upstairs with Shang Lu.
He just thought of something and wanted to confirm it.
The night was dark, Xiao Shangchen had already fallen asleep, Shu Xia closed the bedroom door, and rummaged through the bookshelf for what he wanted to find.
Even though it was a small thing that happened a long time ago, he somehow remembered it, and the impression was extremely deep.
At the bottom of the bookshelf, Shu Xia rummaged through the notes used in the third year of high school. He was very glad that he did not have the habit of throwing books around, and because the university still needed to use the content of advanced mathematics in high school, the previous notes brought over.
And among those notes, there are a few books that Shanglu once gave him. He remembered that when he was flipping through the pages, he rubbed the ink that was not dry on it. At that time, he didn't think about it deeply. One thing, but inexplicably remembered.
The notes that have been flipped through many times are slightly yellow. Even if Shu Xia cherishes the book, there will still be some marks on it after flipping through the book. He spread out a book and put it on the table, and took a contract from the side and put it on next to it.
That contract was the one they signed for the first time when they sold wild ginseng. It was the closest to this notebook, and the handwriting was the most similar, or it could be said to be exactly the same.
The handwriting is Shanglu's, but it's a pity that it's not the old one, but rewritten. Shu Xia has flipped through many pages, and she can find a lot of scratches without deliberately flipping through them.
If it was an old note, even if his palms were stained with sweat, there would not be such marks. It could only be that it was new when Shang Lu sent it over.
Friends... Will friends really do that?
He was friends with Wang Zhi, at most he would tutor him in his homework, give him corrections, or lend him his notes, but he would never rewrite a new one for him, and it must meet the key points at that time.
The marriage contract, the gift of concealed value, the selflessness in the deep mountains, and the hugging and sleeping that night, all these things were like being lifted from the tulle covering it, making Shu Xia caress With the notes in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.
He was thinking that maybe Shang Lu really liked him, and it was earlier than he expected.
If they were in love, it would be really funny to talk about his careful probing for so many days.
Shu Xia carefully recalled Shanglu's reaction when he teased her, bit her knuckles, and took out a black mobile phone from the side drawer. The screen of the mobile phone was torn apart, and it was dropped in a mountain. If there is no repair, it may be left like this. Now think about it, if it is repaired, there may be unexpected gains.
It's not that he is not confident in his speculation, but that he needs to confirm that he is special to Shanglu.
The hair dryer is turned on to the hot air. Shu Xia remembers that she has seen such a method somewhere. If the phone gets wet, you can use the hair dryer to dry the water inside, and maybe it can be used again.
Such a method may not be credible, but when Shu Xia was doing this, she also knew that peeking at other people's mobile phones is actually not good, so using this uncertain method is regarded as a bet. Everything is left to God to decide, if he wins the bet, it doesn't matter if he loses the bet.
The back case of the mobile phone was opened, and there were still wet marks in it. Shu Xia lowered her head and blew carefully until the parts inside were completely dry before installing the back case and pressing the power button.
Shu Xia pressed the button for a full minute, the screen was dark, and there was no sign of lighting up. He was a little discouraged, but he felt relieved. He put down the phone, put the notes back to the original position, and when he turned around, , but found that the phone screen on the table lit up.
Shu Xia swallowed her saliva, lifted her heart that had just been let go, and looked at the screen of the phone with a little nervousness.
He knew that the man's mobile phone had never been in the habit of locking the screen, so the information left before, or what he had said to others, might mention his feelings for him.
While poking at the somewhat fragmented screen, Shu Xia muttered in a low voice, "I don't watch anything, I don't watch anything..."
There is no way, for emotional matters, he really can only be cautious and cautious. He really doesn't want to hurt himself again before he has confirmed Shanglu's relationship.
The text message record is opened, there is no mobile phone card, all the remarks on the previously saved messages have become mobile phone numbers, but Shu Xia can recite the phone number at the beginning because it is his mobile phone number.
His fingers trembled slightly, but suddenly the red text on the bottom of the phone showed that the battery was exhausted, and it will shut down due to low battery in 30 seconds.
Shu Xia "!!!"
During those 30 seconds, Shu Xia was stunned for three seconds, and spent 15 seconds looking for the charging cable of the mobile phone to plug it in. She was in a hurry until she saw the charging icon on the phone. She was relieved and sat on the bed and patted her heart. This time it was turned off, and I don't know if it can be turned on again.
30 seconds was enough stimulation, and Shu Xia took a breather for a while, and only reopened the text message page when she saw that the battery was no longer displayed in red.
[The weather is getting colder, remember to wear more clothes. ]
[OK, thanks. ]
……
[The seasonal fruit is strawberries, sweet and sour, very suitable for this season. ]
[It seems that you like eating fruit very much. ]
[Eating more fruits is good for your health. ]
……
[Efforts to study should also pay attention to the body, the body is the capital of the revolution. ]
[Okay, I see, thank you for your concern, don’t be too busy with work, the body is the capital of the revolution. ]
……
Stereotyped words, a message that only comes out every two or three days, this tone, this way of answering, Shu Xia now has the exact same tone in her mobile phone, but since she married Shanglu, she has lost it. a lot of.
He used to think that that person was tired of such endless chatting, and he was right. After all, he is a stranger. Even friends in reality, when the chat is not satisfactory, they will cut off for a long time. Communication, this gentleman who I don't know may be busy with other things, or there are other people who need to care, so it is normal to not contact so frequently.
Now that I think about it, it's just because we live together, it's more convenient to care about them, so why do we need to use text messages to talk about them.
The handwritten notes, the gift with concealed value, and a health care man who pretended to be a friend made Shu Xia have to suspect that the beginning of their marriage was planned by that guy.
Calculated in this way, there are quite a lot of things that he hides from him. As for Shang Luxi, does he like him?
If the answer to this question is that you don't like it, Shu Xia will write her name upside down, and die with that guy by the way.
As for whether he likes Shanglu?Of course I like it, who doesn't like a man who will quietly care about you and love you behind his back, but there are too many tricks, Shu Xia feels that he has to expose that guy's tricks one by one first.
And seeing how cautious he is with himself, he doesn't seem to know that he likes him, so maybe he can play a little bit.
Maybe it's because the favored people are somewhat confident, things that Shu Xia never dared to do before, but now she wants to try them all once.
For example... Shu Xia pinched the phone and smiled happily.
Shang Lu was leaning on the bed and reading a book, and suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand on end.
It's been a long time since this feeling of something bad happened to him.
"Okay, the TV is over, you can go home," Lin Xian said, looking at Bai Meng who was holding on to the door frame, and said with arms folded.
"I won't go, Lin Xian, you cross the river and tear down the bridge," Bai Meng firmly grabbed the door frame, preventing Lin Xian from picking up the back of his neck like before, and was about to throw him out. The strength of his whole body prevented him, but he still couldn't understand why Lin Xian, an otaku who likes to sleep late, is stronger than him, a person who exercises regularly, but let's ignore the "if I didn't tell you my cousin To participate in the competition, you still can't see it."
"So I have allowed you to stay at my house for a day." Lin Xian simply sat on the armrest of the sofa by the door, and when Bai Meng was eager to see the room, he raised one leg and pressed against the other side of the door to stop him. Followed someone's footsteps and said, "You should go home."
"What's the matter with staying with me for one night? I won't do anything to you." Bai Meng bent his knee against that leg, put his face in his waist with a smile and said, "Could it be that you are worried about what you will do to me?"
At that moment, Lin Xian really wanted to pinch his face to see if it was made of cowhide. He sighed and said, "Don't worry, even if you take off your clothes and stand in front of me, I won't do anything to you." If you're interested, go home, I don't have any spare room for you to live in."
"Then I can sleep on the sofa. It's so late and I'm going home alone. Don't you feel sorry if something happens?" Bai Meng carefully grabbed the hem of his clothes and murmured, "Stay One night, one night, one night..."
"It's not dangerous," Lin Xian sneered, "but I remember that I didn't dare to enter the haunted house at the amusement park. If I didn't go back so late, it wouldn't be because I was afraid of ghosts?"
"Who's afraid of ghosts?!" Bai Mengmeng put his hands on his waist, and was about to declare how brave he was, but after a quick turn of his mind, he saw Lin Xian's expression of just waiting for him to leave after being provoked, and immediately slapped his hands. Put it down from the waist, grabbed Lin Xian's arm and said, "No, I'm a scary ghost, please take care of me..."
Lin Xian "..."
He clearly felt that his bottom line was slowly receding, and his tolerance for this person was significantly increasing.
Then his own sister stepped on his bottom line again, "Brother, what are you afraid of letting him stay for one night? Isn't he a squirrel? How much space can such a few mice take up?"
"I'm not a mouse!" Bai Meng was angry, squirrels are far from mice, okay?
Lin Mang glared at him, signaling with his eyes, do you want to stay?
Bai Meng was silently discouraged, and looked at Lin Xian eagerly, his little eyes were quite sad.
"Just one night, stay on the sofa, and leave before eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Lin Xian withdrew his feet and walked towards his bedroom, without giving Bai Meng a second glance.
After getting acquainted with Shu Xia, he seemed to soften a lot.
……
The air in the morning is very good. It is the happiest thing to wake up every morning with your beloved boy by your side during the morning exercise, especially when someone you know passes by and ask, "The young couple come out for morning exercise together?" "when.
Shang Lu hummed lightly, when the boy acquiesced, it was his happiest time.
However, in the early morning of the second day when his hairs stood on end, the teenager sprained his foot while running.
Shang Lu helped him to sit down on the stone bench next to him, squatted down and looked at the red ankle, touched it lightly with his fingers and said, "Does it hurt here?"
Shu Xia watched the man squatting down without any hesitation, feeling inexplicably full in her heart, feeling a little hot and happy, nodded lightly and said, "It hurts a bit."
Shang Lu didn't notice his emotional changes, but touched other places with some distress, and asked one by one. After Shu Xia finished answering, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I didn't hurt my bones. Go back and spray some medicine. Just rest for two days."
"Well," Shu Xia really didn't sprain the injury on purpose. He intentionally hurt himself for the sake of a man's distress. He just taught Bai Meng a lesson, so naturally he couldn't do it to himself. It's just that he doesn't know which wicked person is on the way Throwing a small stone, he stepped on it without paying attention, and sprained his foot as a result.
"Can you go?" Shang Lu helped her up and asked.
Shu Xia tried it, it's okay to limp, but he was injured, why did he walk by himself.
Shu Xia gritted her teeth, leaned on Shang Lu's arms suddenly, and when she felt the man's stiffness, he hissed, "It seems to be in too much pain, I can't walk."
Let you pretend in front of me, and I will see how long you can pretend.
Shanglu's previous distraction disappeared, and he only helped Shu Xia and asked with concern, "Does it really hurt? I just touched the bone for you. If it's safe, you still have to go to the hospital for a professional examination."
"No need, we can actually leave." When Shu Xia sensed his concern, she felt a little guilty, and said he was stupid. After so long, he didn't find any clues about many things, but he was smart. When encountering his affairs, it seemed that he lost his usual sense of proportion.
Why didn't he find out earlier, Shu Xia thought, he was probably stupid too.
"It's just that the way back is too far, can I trouble you to carry me on your back," Shu Xia said with a little embarrassment on her face, but she was looking forward to it in her heart.
Although it is temporarily impossible to hug directly, it is also a very happy thing to be able to carry the back.
In this world, the best love is when I like you, I just found out that you like me too.
"Yes," Shanglu didn't hesitate, and even squatted down with a little expectation, feeling the boy's arms around his neck, his chest against his back, and the heartbeat could be faintly felt time, and then helped his legs to stand up.
Shu Xia's stature is slender, but his height is not particularly light, but his weight is really nothing to Shang Lu, and he even feels a little thin.
"I usually eat too little, so light." Phytophthora could feel the heat of the young man's body. His breathing, which had been calmed down after exercising, felt a little short again. He walked slowly on the flat road, But there is a kind of expectation that this road will be infinitely long.
Shu Xia was lying on his back, with broad and warm shoulders, a fast and steady heartbeat, and a slightly unstable breath, all of which showed that this man cared about him. He was even thinking, if he could stay It will be fine on this back for a lifetime.
"My weight belongs to the body weight, and I will gain weight if I eat any more," Shu Xia whispered in his ear, breathing the heat there intentionally, and when she felt the man's hand suddenly tightened, she hugged his shoulder and smiled It's the same as a cat that stole the fish.
"Hmm...um..." Shanglu felt the heat on his neck, and his mind became hot for a while, and all the words he wanted to say before were forgotten.
Although neither of them wanted this road to come to an end, it was a pity that they saw the building that belonged to them in less than ten minutes. After spraying the medicine for treatment, there was no serious injury in the first place. After spraying the medicine, Shu Xia was even more I can't even feel pain when I walk a few steps.
Naturally, even though Phytolaca objected, he still arranged the breakfast.
Phytolacca's favorite heart-shaped poached eggs were swept away by this man.
After dinner, Shang Lu was going to work, he changed his clothes, put on his coat and passed in front of Shu Xia, but was stopped by the boy.
"What's the matter?" Shanglu looked at the boy sitting on the sofa, walked over and said, "Don't run around today, do you need me to bring something back, or?"
"It's not those, bow your head," Shu Xia said, and Shang Lu bowed his head in a knowledgeable way.
Shu Xia couldn't hold back the smile on his lips, grabbed his tie, straightened it with his hands, raised his eyes from such a close distance and said, "I didn't fix the tie properly, I'm afraid you will be laughed at by others when you go to the hospital."
"Thank you," Shang Lu looked at such a close distance, and could almost see every eyelash of the young man clearly. They were curly and long, and they were more natural and beautiful than those eyelashes after putting on makeup.
"You're welcome." Shu Xia straightened his tie for him, pulled it when he was about to get up, and smiled at Shanglu's slightly surprised eyes, "I think we can develop the habit of kissing when we go out, so that Parents won't notice the clues then." He smiled, pulled Shanglu's tie close to him, lightly kissed that cheek, and said with a very natural smile, "Can you get used to it?"
Shanglu's heart was beating violently, as if he couldn't get out of the breath he was holding in his heart, he stared closely at the young man in front of him, and said with difficulty, "Get used to it."
Of course he will get used to it, but he feels that the blood is flowing a little fast, and if he doesn't get up again, he may not be able to hold it.
Shu Xia let go in time, and Shang Lu's pent-up breath finally came out slowly, and when he went out, it even seemed a little bit like running away.
Shu Xia wiped the corners of her lips, the corners of her lips expanded uncontrollably, and she stomped her feet almost uncontrollably. He was sure that Shanglu really liked him.
"Why do you feel like you can't laugh?" Wang Zhi kept looking at Shu Xia's expression throughout the whole class. The feeling of smiling or not, but the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are smiling, really. It made him goosebumps all over his body, "In love?"
Could it be that his buddy confessed to Shanglu?No way, according to the trend of their chattering, he thinks they have to chatter for a few more years.
"No, I worshiped a master," Shu Xia glanced at him, and lied casually. After the last trial, he began to have doubts about Wang Zhi's EQ.
With Shanglu's appearance, he obviously likes him, but Wang Zhi didn't notice it at all. If he did this, he is basically a useless buddy.
"Ah? What master?" Wang Zhi knew about Shu Xia's participation in that culinary competition. He didn't know it at first. That TV station was not a TV station with high ratings, and culinary competitions were not very attractive to young people. People, but the new school grass of A University is too good-looking.
Waves of new news were completely pushed up by the enthusiasm of the audience, and quickly spread among the crowd, naturally causing a sensation on the campus of University A.
It may sound a little strange that the campus male god participated in the cooking competition, but after seeing the male god's cooking performance, the group of girls went crazy, which made Shu Xia really dare not be in school except for class. If you stay inside for a long time, you are afraid of being chased and intercepted.
Wang Zhi was lucky enough to watch it once. The knife was used. Anyway, he felt that he dared to play like that, so he didn't have to use his hand. No wonder the girls covered their faces and screamed.
He is handsome, good at studying, and knows how to cook. He seems to be quite rich. For girls in college, he is almost a male god. Let those girls calm down a little bit.
But what the hell is this recognition of the master, he has no idea at all.
"Let me tell you, don't spread the word to me quickly," Shu Xia repeatedly ordered. Although Senior Xu didn't say that he was not allowed to spread the matter of his apprenticeship, Shu Xia subconsciously felt that the teacher probably didn't like it. Others talked a lot about their master-student relationship.
"Well, I understand, brother's mouth has never been tight." Wang Zhi gave him an ok gesture.
Of course Shu Xia is at ease with him, after all, Wang Zhi knows many things about him, and this guy is also a person who knows how to measure when it is critical.
"Is that the old gentleman you saw who gave me the award? It's him, a super chef, and one of the vice-chairmen of the National Culinary Association..." Shu Xia quickly covered Wang Zhi's big mouth Mouth said: "Okay, don't shout."
Wang Zhi murmured and nodded twice, moved close to Shu Xia and rolled his eyes and said, "My mother, buddy, you are really amazing, that kind of national figure is not something that ordinary people of my generation can get in touch with, thanks After becoming a master, it feels like worshiping a top martial arts master, and the force will rise immediately."
"Come on, it's still pretty cool, brother, I've always been pretty good, okay?" Shu Xia rolled his eyes at him.
Wang Zhi muttered, "The girls should really listen to the shameless words of the campus male god who is narcissistic, but it's not right, you worshiped a master, why did you smile like Sichun, and said, are you in love. "
"I'm a married person, who am I dating?" Shu Xia packed up her books and left, not caring about Wang Zhi's presence.
The students were crowded together, there were many people discussing beside Shu Xia, and there were even more onlookers. Shu Xia just stood there calmly, but no one dared to take a step closer to him.
In Wang Zhi's words, that is an aura of [-] meters.
"Hello, my classmate," when Shu Xia walked down the stairs, a man in formal attire walked up, handed over his business card and said, "I am the manager of Daxin Film and Television Company, and my surname is Zhao. May I ask if we Shall we talk about it together? We are very optimistic about your popularity regarding your participation in that show. If you join our company, you will become the brightest star of tomorrow..."
His eloquent talk is very tempting, at least the classmates and Wang Zhi who are watching are very moved. Being a star is almost the dream of many people, because in the impression of many people, the star seems to be really different from many ordinary people. People seem to be different, being held up by many people seems to be raised to a higher level.
"Hey, Shu Xia, becoming a star is amazing," Wang Zhi said excitedly, poking his lower back.
In front of everyone, Shu Xia took his business card calmly and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, but I am only a student, so I have failed your kindness."
After he finished speaking, he took Wang Zhi away, completely ignoring other people's admiration, disappointment, or emotion.
The so-called manager wanted to catch up from behind, but tripped inexplicably, and was submerged in the crowd, unable to catch up again.
"Hey, buddy, you're not excited," Wang Zhi got into Shu Xia's car, and was so lazy that he didn't even bother to take the few steps home. The girls screamed in groups, what kind of pick-up, solidarity, it's awesome to think about it."
"Do you think that kind of life is easy?" Shu Xia put on her seat belt, smiled and broke his fantasy, "Besides, I have never heard of the so-called brokerage company. There are good-looking people in the entertainment industry." Mostly, I am not the only one, why can I become the so-called star of tomorrow, and you will believe the tricks of small brokerage companies."
"Really?" Wang Zhi scratched his hair and said, "How can it be like this?"
"Why can't it be like this?" Shu Xia still has a little understanding of that aspect. In the entertainment circle, everyone chases after stars every day, but those who can really stand on the high ground and become stars are just a few people, or dozens of people.
Countless newcomers and oldcomers were submerged in the vast ocean due to insufficient traffic and popularity. Even the stars who stood at the top, perhaps because of one or two scandals, or because there were no good works, lost their jobs. Falling off the altar, completely out of breath.
It looks glamorous, but in fact, every bit of it is exposed to everyone's sight. The eyes of the paparazzi are all-pervasive. That kind of pressure is not something ordinary people can bear. Depression is also possible.
Shu Xia has never longed for that kind of life. Maybe some people are born stars, and he is not afraid to stand in front of others, but he just doesn't like that kind of life.
Whether he participates in the program or conducts the live broadcast, it is all for his shop. He always remembers that he is a chef and a businessman at the same time.
"Anyway, you are always more knowledgeable than me. You can decide for yourself about this kind of thing," Wang Zhi scratched his hair and said, "I'm just yelling, don't listen to me."
"I know," Shu Xia drove to his community, and sighed, "It takes 5 minutes to take a car, I'm convinced."
"Slightly..." Wang Zhi stuck out his tongue at him, instead of getting out of the car in a hurry, but sighed, "In the end, your Linlang's business is very impressive, otherwise those people wouldn't be able to come to you."
"Maybe," Shu Xia said with a smile.
Since that event, Linlang has obviously had more customers than before. There is no time to be free all day long. The more customers, the more profits will naturally come. Even the company is already preparing for the third branch. location.
As for the fourth company, the manager's suggestion is not to continue to open in City A, but to spread to the surrounding cities.
Although city a is densely populated and has a huge flow of people, it is enough to have three stores here. The old stores can be expanded in the later stage, but if more are added, it may affect the later benefits.
Now there are a lot of customers, most of them are still greedy for novelty, or come here because of the reputation. In the later stage, when this wave of upsurge is over and the source of customers is stable, it is like a lot of branch stores diverting, which will only lead to a decline in profitability.
Shu Xia also very much agrees with that professional manager's suggestion. He didn't understand many things before, but after learning his major, he now has answers to some things that had puzzled him before.
It's just that if he wants to spread the store in the surrounding second-tier cities within a year, the funds on hand are not enough, and he needs to find another way. On the contrary, it is easier to solve it with better personnel. Many chefs Knowing his high salary and good guidance here, there are really many people who come here attracted by his reputation. This is the benefit of participating in the cooking competition.

"Wow, bang, bang! Chop, chop, chop! Ding..."
Early in the morning, all kinds of messy sounds spread in the room, not afraid of the bedroom door, very penetrating.
The person on the bed frowned in his sleep, and suddenly pulled up the quilt covering his chest, but the various sounds came, as if even the bed was trembling, very disturbing to sleep .
The person on the bed originally planned to endure this for a while, but the voice showed no sign of stopping, but intensified...
Lin Xian pulled the quilt away from the top of his head, got off the bed with half-closed eyes, went to the door of the room and pulled the door open, shouting displeasedly, "It's early in the morning, it's so noisy!!!"
The voice stopped immediately, and the door opposite Lin Xian opened, Lin Mang came out rubbing his eyes, frowned and said, "Who is it, it's so noisy in the morning, it's been a long weekend and I can't sleep too late .”
Lin Xian pulled his hair to the top of his head, looked at Lin Mang opposite, frowned, and looked at the place where the sound came from, that was the kitchen.
When his eyes looked over, a head poked out from the kitchen, and he smiled and showed two canine teeth, "Good morning, I'm making breakfast."
"Breakfast?" Lin Xian's face was gloomy. "Those who knew said you were making breakfast, but those who didn't know thought you were demolishing the house."
"It's noisy to you, it's my first time doing it, it's a bit unfamiliar," Bai Meng said embarrassedly.
"It's the first time," Lin Xian had a bad feeling in his heart. With a sullen face, he walked up to Bai Meng in a few steps, looked at the doorknob he was holding tightly with his back turned and said, "Oh? Let me see your breakfast."
"That, I haven't done it yet," Bai Meng squinted his eyes, with a guilty expression on his face.
"It's okay, I don't care," Lin Xian smiled, "It's fine if you like it."
Bai Meng's eyes were dazzled for a moment, and the door behind him was pushed open with a bang, and a burning smell came to his nostrils.
When Lin Xian saw the situation in the kitchen, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
