Rebirth of Private Chef Xiao Ai

Chapter 2

After the idea of ​​wanting to stay popped up in Song Cheng's mind, he sat there thinking, thinking about the possibility of implementing this idea.He recognized Gu Lousheng at a glance, even though he only met once in the past.He was still a teenager at that time, and Gu Lousheng was still young. He remembered that Gu Lousheng went to Anqiao County with others to buy goods. He also invited Xiao Lousheng to taste the mung bean paste he made. Xiaolousheng had two eyes. He smiled and called him brother.

Song Cheng saw Gu Lousheng again, although he was very familiar with him, he was somewhat uncertain.The soft and glutinous little bun back then has grown, and the face is delicate, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, and the eyes are full of spirit.However, the bridge of Gu Lousheng's nose is not straight, probably because he was hit by a playful child with a sandbag in Linjun when he was a child, which hurt the bridge of his nose.

Lin'an Kingdom is a very unique country. Each county divided by the country has relatively independent ruling power, and the same is true for the small towns under the county.Song Cheng planned to stay here, the farther he went, the closer he was to the capital city of Lin'an, the more difficult it would be to find a decent job where he could make ends meet. I like Gu Lousheng who is still a child in my memory.

Song Cheng didn't have any special impression of Anlin County before. His original home - Anqiao County was not the same as here. Some towns often have large-scale riots. There is no such richness there, and there is no such thing as here. so peaceful.

Song Cheng, who was frowning and thinking, didn't notice that Gu Lousheng had brought a set of clothes over.Gu Lousheng politely called out to Mr. Song Cheng, but Song Cheng was in a trance and ignored him.So Gu Lousheng stretched out his slender five fingers and waved them in front of Song Cheng's eyes, but Song Cheng still didn't notice, his eyes stared at his ground intently, trying to ignore his embarrassing situation.

Gu Lousheng stood there in a green shirt, feeling that it was not good to disturb other people's thinking, so he made no next move.On the other hand, Douer, who ran over from the backyard, happily patted Song Cheng on the shoulder: "The hot water is ready, and it's in the woodshed in the backyard. Do you want me to take you there?" Song Cheng was taken aback, but Immediately reacting, he stood up awkwardly and nodded at Gu Lousheng and the boy, took the clothes and walked to the backyard.

"The second room on the left hand side of the backyard, don't go to the kitchen by mistake!" Dou'er happily stood beside Gu Lousheng and yelled at Song Cheng, who had already walked towards the backyard with his back turned to them.Xiaodou'er couldn't explain why she was happy, but she was very happy.

After watching Song Cheng walk into the firewood room and close the door, Douer hummed a little tune, feeling that the guilt in her heart was reduced a lot, and was about to turn around and jump away, but was stopped by a serious shout, and her heart sank. sad.

"Gu! Bean! Son!"

"It's over, Lou Sheng won't ask him to change his nickname to his first name, it's over!" Dou'er, who was on the alert in his heart, shouted in his heart, and then quickly and decisively raised a slap in the face of Gu Lousheng. With a miserable smile: "Father, why are you calling me?"

At this time, politeness is necessary. In order to minimize Gu Lousheng's anger, all measures are necessary!Douer is well aware of this truth, and has implemented it profoundly.It's a matter of life, don't be careless!

How could Gu Lousheng not understand the small thoughts in Dou'er's mind, he didn't really want to get angry, it's just that proper lessons are helpful for discipline. "Find troubles for me all day long! I raised you up so that you let the dog take away the chicken coop yesterday, and pour rice washing water on the other person today? Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, will you one day take this Anping's life has been turned upside down..." Gu Lousheng was taken aback after speaking, his tone became more and more like his own wife and sister-in-law.

Dou'er had a bitter face, and faced Gu Lousheng with an expression that I was really crying for you to see. Although he wouldn't really cry, he still had to defend himself righteously: "Father, I really didn't mean it! Yesterday, it was Xiao Hei from the opposite inn who was too excited yesterday. Where I watched him, he ran away having fun. How did I know that he would rush into the chicken coop and make a fuss! Widow Li's chicken Isn't it good, although a few eggs are rotten..."

Gu Lousheng just wanted to say "Are you still reasonable?", but Dou'er robbed him of it.Seeing that the results were not very good, Douer rolled his eyes and continued to defend himself, saying: "And I didn't mean it today, I was shocked when I came out of the backyard and saw a person taking a bath there!" And with Douer who was trying to exaggerate the facts, he made an exaggerated expression, thought for a while, and added: "And he's still naked, well, it's getting out...it's bad for my reputation!"

Gu Lousheng originally held his face and didn't want to let himself laugh out loud, but when he heard the last sentence, his face froze and he blurted out worriedly: "Did you see him naked?" There was already some anger in the words, which scared Dou'er one jump.

"No, no, no." Dou'er hurriedly denied, of course he didn't see it, otherwise it would be troublesome: "It was too dark, and I didn't have a lamp, so I saw a dark figure, and you saw it later, he was naked , and half-hidden in the shade of a tree, so I can’t see clearly.”

Gu Lousheng's complexion improved a little, he nodded and wanted to say something, but he didn't plan to pursue it further.He had already taken out the account book and spread it out on the counter and began to count again. After thinking for a while, he squinted at Dou'er who heaved a sigh of relief: "I just found out today that you really pay attention to reputation. Everyone doesn't know that you are like a monkey all the time, and everyone who knows us is discussing whether you can still get married!"

"Bah! Don't listen to those nonsense!"

When Douer heard Gu Lousheng talking about this topic, his face turned red immediately, he was so ashamed!

Lin'an does not prohibit Longyang style.Due to the existence of this kind of ethos, it is not uncommon for men to form families, but this does not hinder the population reproduction of Lin'an, which has become a natural way of Lin'an.When some males are born, there will be a light-colored plum-shaped imprint on the inner side of the left wrist, and the males with these imprints are qualified to conceive.

There used to be a saying in Lin'an: when children are born, the number of petals of plum blossoms is predestined, the more petals there are, the more children they will have.Of course, this point cannot be tested, and in the end it became a joke among neighbors and villages, which was occasionally brought up by adults after dinner.At the same time, although medical records have appeared, there are very few cases where there was no imprint before, but the hidden imprint emerged after the successful birth of life.But this kind of probability is so pitifully rare that it can hardly be expressed, and it is gradually forgotten and ignored by the world.

Douer is a young man who was born with the imprint of a plum blossom with two petals.Gu Lousheng, who was still a child of seven or eight, was playing under the blooming plum tree in the suburbs. When he was attracted by Douer, who was so weak from crying that he could only whimper, the baby, who was already purple from the cold, almost died. I can't make it through.Gu Lousheng ran home in a panic with the child in his arms, and even ruined the good deeds between his elder brother and his wife-in-law. The elder brother was so angry that he beat him up afterward, and he still didn't let go of his anger.Although it was hard for Gu Lousheng to get his elder brother to agree to adopt the child afterwards, fortunately, Douer survived.

Gu Lousheng didn't know why Dou'er's parents abandoned him.Because Anping is not a poor town, a normal family is enough to support a little son, and can prepare the dowry for him to marry.But it doesn't matter what the reason is, Dou'er has lived happily for so many years, and he doesn't regret bringing back this naughty little boy.

"Father, what good thing did you think of?" Dou'er stood beside him obediently, watching Gu Lousheng keep the accounts quite quietly.His nimble little brain told him that if he provoked Gu Lousheng again at this time, he would be courting death!Dou'er has always regarded Gu Lousheng as an older brother, and only when the situation is wrong will he softly call him father to ask for forgiveness. Shouting Daddy is still useful, tried and tested!

So when Gu Lousheng looked up and saw Dou'er smirking, he shook his head lovingly, and turned his head to see Song Cheng who walked into the front hall from the backyard after taking a shower.

Song Cheng, who had put on clean coarse clothes, looked much more pleasing to the eye. His messy and greasy hair was also taken care of, dripping with water, but his sharp-edged face was still a little sallow, and his strong physique had also lost weight.Dou'er seemed to have found a reason to slip away, and jumped up happily: "I'll go to the woodshed to clean up, and you'll have to sleep in it for a night, because we don't have any extra rooms in the restaurant."

How could Gu Lousheng not know Douer's intention to sneak away, so he ignored him, poured a cup of tea from behind the counter, brought out a saucer, and placed it in front of Song Cheng. "Sit down and eat something, I can see that you need something to eat."

Song Cheng, who had just taken a shower, smiled gratefully at Gu Lousheng, grabbed the scallion pancakes on the plate and ate them quickly, occasionally drinking a few sips of tea.Gu Lousheng was terrified when he saw it. The man in front of him was devouring the food, which was enough to tell how long he had been hungry. I was afraid that he would be in trouble if he accidentally choked on it.

"Eat slowly, no one will fight with you. If it's not enough, I'll ask Douer to bring some more. There should be some in the kitchen." Gu Lousheng hesitantly stretched out his hand to run along Song Cheng's back, waking up the dreamer Only then did Song Cheng slow down eating, biting the cake and smiling vaguely and apologetically at Gu Lousheng.The life of the past few months has made him worry about whether he will be robbed when he eats. Although the speed of eating is still very fast, at least there is no risk of choking to death all the time.

Gu Lousheng looked at Song Cheng carefully while he was eating, and it was not difficult to see that Song Cheng was not a local.Most of the men in Lin'an are thinner, not as tall as Song Cheng. Gu Lousheng was half a head shorter than Song Cheng just now.

No matter what the reason was for him to come to Lin'an, Song Cheng obviously had no way to settle down, so it's not surprising that he was reduced to being bullied by street beggars.Anlin County is famous for being xenophobic in several counties because of its border with neighboring countries, and it's hard for a man as big as Song Cheng to hide in the backyard by the small river and take a bath secretly.

Gu Lousheng is a businessman, which can be seen from the fact that he runs a small but obviously profitable restaurant.No matter how good-hearted a businessman is, he will always take into account the gains and losses he cares about anytime and anywhere.For example, he doesn't care about the huge cost of raising a soybean child, and he will adopt the homeless baby, but he will not ignore the profit and loss related to the business, such as the daily cost of the restaurant.

Although Anping is more affluent, there are not many people doing business. Most of the things produced by the villagers in the countryside are used by themselves, and they are rarely sold.At that time, Gu Lousheng opened a restaurant regardless of his elder brother's objection. With his shrewd mind, he also made a lot of money.A recognition as a businessman told Gu Lousheng that obviously, after some consideration, there might be a guy with a natural low cost in front of him, and he had no reason not to try the idea of ​​the other party.

"Mister is from a neighboring country?" Gu Lousheng refilled a cup of tea for Song Cheng and asked.

Song Cheng was taken aback, and nodded slowly. Although he was still nibbling onion pancakes, his gaze had already started to revolve around Gu Lousheng, as if he was eager to read some meaning behind the words of the person in front of him.Song Cheng never expected that when Gu Lou grew up, he would be in charge of the business by himself, and it didn't fit the cunning, fat-headed businessmen in his mind at all. A little delicate, but also very gentle.It can also be seen from this restaurant that the other party is very capable and seems to be well-organized.

Song Cheng bit the scallion pancake, he knew he couldn't tell that he regained his life, firstly, no one would believe him, and secondly, Gu Lousheng probably forgot who he was.

"Don't worry about it. Although I live in Anping, I have no hostility towards people from neighboring countries. I think Dou'er is the same, even though he poured rice washing water all over you..." Gu Lousheng wanted to laugh for no reason.

Song Cheng shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.The scallion pancakes were finished, and the tea was also finished. He secretly rubbed his hands to wipe off the oil stains on his hands, and sat in a well-behaved manner, waiting for Gu Lousheng's next words.

Gu Lousheng felt that it was easy to communicate with Song Cheng, at least there were no obstacles for the time being. "What's your plan next? Stay here, or go somewhere else?"

Song Cheng shook his head, while Gu Lousheng nodded and continued: "Or, if you don't mind for now, I still need a handyman in this small restaurant. Of course, you may have to live in the woodshed for a while, There is no spare room for you, at least before winter. Moreover, the salary is not too much, after all, you are an irrelevant person, you have to try it out, but three meals are in charge..." Before finishing, Gu Lou Sheng was surprised by Song Cheng's expression, obviously he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

Song Cheng suddenly raised his head, stared at Gu Lousheng's surprised eyes, and nodded without hesitation.

Of course he wanted to stay, he thought!
