Rebirth of Private Chef Xiao Ai

Chapter 5

Song Cheng carried the rice on his shoulders, followed Gu Lousheng to do some shopping, and then walked back.The two of them were not idle along the way, they chatted with each other, and got to know each other to a certain extent.Song Cheng unexpectedly discovered that there was a stark contrast between Gu Lousheng's ability in business and his habits and personality in life.

Gu Lousheng is only in his [-]s, and although he can handle business with ease, his life is a mess, and he has to be taken care of by Douer on weekdays.And although Gu Lousheng seems to be very mature on weekdays, Song Cheng saw his joy when he saw the candied haws skewers just now, and felt that Gu Lousheng was not as young and old as the people in the town said, the youthful heart in his bones was just not It will only be displayed in front of outsiders.

"Someday you show your hands and let Dou'er see, my cook here is all given by Dou'er, his mouth is more tricky than mine, and it's all spoiled by my wife and sister-in-law." Gu Lou Sheng held an oil paper bag in one hand, which was wrapped with strings of candied gourds, which was brought to Douer: "Master Wang is getting old, his son said a while ago that he would take him back to the countryside to take care of the elderly. I'm worried about this cook."

Song Cheng nodded, switched the rice bag to another shoulder, and continued to follow behind Gu Lousheng, occasionally answering a few sentences, but most of the time he listened to what Gu Lousheng was saying.

Not long after, the two of them returned to the restaurant, and when they walked around to the back and planned to enter from the backyard, they were almost taken aback by the two figures hiding under the shade of the trees by the river.Song Cheng took a closer look and saw that it was Dou'er and a boy he didn't know, and then turned to see that Gu Lousheng was squinting, wondering what he was thinking.Neither of them went out rashly.

"Idiot, don't hurry up, Lou Sheng and the others don't know where they are going, if they come back and run into you, pay attention to the skin on your body!" Dou'er was smiling and pushing a boy who was taller than him. , but he couldn't push it, but was hugged by the opponent's hands.

"It's not such a coincidence." The young man obviously hesitated, but after thinking about it, he said, "Haven't we been caught by your father after so many appointments? Douer, my father said, after a few years, we will be together for you." We propose marriage to your family, and the betrothal gift is ready, and I don’t know if your father will like it or not.” The young man was obviously very happy to tell Dou’er in his arms the news, but unexpectedly he got a chestnut and slapped him. Holding his head a little aggrieved.

"It's really stupid to say you're stupid. How come I fell in love with you as an idiot." Although Dou'er said so, there was no blame in her tone. Instead, she looked at the boy with a little worry: "Let's secretly Going back and discussing this matter with Daddy and the others went smoothly, but if Lou Sheng finds out and we keep it from him, if he gets angry, both of us will be overwhelmed!"

The young man was a little anxious, and asked: "Then what should I do?" He managed to get the approval of the elders at Dou'er's house these two days. It was Gu Lousheng!

Dou'er buried her head on the young man's shoulder and laughed softly: "You're kidding! Don't look at me as a mischievous person, but Lousheng is very afraid that I will be bullied." Sexually he stunned him, but Dour knew that Lou Sheng hurt him tightly!

"How could I bully you? You are the one who bullied me. You are so fierce." The young man smiled foolishly, and Douer elbowed him for a while, giving him a supercilious look.

"Who are you talking about?" Dou'er refused to admit it, but was happy in his heart. This little idiot was terrified of him when he was troubled by him since he was a child, but after a long time of trouble, he somehow got better.

The two kissed each other under the shade of the trees, completely oblivious to the fact that Song Cheng and Gu Lousheng were standing at the corner of the courtyard wall for a long time.Song Cheng was a little stiff with the rice bag on his shoulders, but seeing Gu Lousheng's unpredictable expression, he didn't dare to speak.Just when he thought he would continue to stand, Gu Lou moved vividly.

Song Cheng heard a "whoosh", as if something had hit him. "Little bastard, I've raised you for nothing!" Gu Lousheng directly threw the oil paper bag with candied gourds in his hand, and smashed it on the two people who were huddled together not far away: "Dare to hope that you have been married for so long, so hurry up and give me a gift!" I'll pack up my things and get out, so I can marry you as soon as possible!"

After finishing speaking, he called Song Cheng, who was standing behind him, to enter the backyard. Before stepping in, he did not forget to roll his eyes at the young man, which made the young man tremble and his heart fluttered.

Seeing Song Cheng and Gu Lousheng enter the yard, the two people outside were a little dumbfounded, especially the young man, who was very frustrated: "Dou'er, your father seems to be very angry, I...how about we take advantage of this?" Let's talk to your father this time, anyway, I am determined to want you, so I will tell you."

Dou'er nodded, feeling a bit at a loss, the two of them also entered the yard holding hands, and saw that Gu Lousheng and Song Cheng seemed to be in the kitchen, so they followed.

As soon as Song Cheng put down the rice bag, Dou'er and the boy followed behind. There were four people standing in the kitchen, which was a bit crowded.Others didn't see Gu Lousheng's face, but Song Cheng did. He was not angry at all, he was clearly in a good mood, but he forced his face to prevent them from seeing it.

"Father." Dou'er lowered his head and shouted, without the confidence he had in Pangri, he didn't dare to look at Gu Lousheng's expression.

"Gu... Gu... Gu... ah..." The young man hesitated for a long time without uttering a reason, but when Gu Lousheng rolled his eyes again, he blurted out a sentence in shock, without stammering: "Gu A Dad! I like Douer, and I want to marry him!" After finishing speaking, his face turned red immediately, and his whole body became numb, wishing to slap himself twice, why did he say it so directly, and even called him daddy directly? !

Although Douer kept calling him Daddy, Lou Sheng was used to it, and now there was another kid not much younger than him calling him Daddy, that feeling made Gu Lousheng's eyelids twitch!It's weird...

Douer also blushed up to his neck, lowered his head and stared at his toes without saying a word, Song Cheng, a person he had not known for a long time, was also here, which made him panic even more.Gu Lousheng looked at the two of them and didn't speak, but Song Cheng who was on the side opened his mouth and diverted the attention of several people.

"I haven't had dinner yet. If you want to eat, I'll make some. Sit down and talk about it. It's not a problem if you stay here." Song Cheng patted Gu Lousheng on the shoulder, he clearly saw Gu Lou A schadenfreude flashed in Sheng's eyes!

Dou'er raised his head in surprise, staring at Song Cheng with bright eyes, temporarily forgetting his situation: "So you can talk! Then you pretended to be dumb and lied to us... If you don't tell me, I'd forget it, I'm already hungry, I want to eat tamales, what will you do?"

Upon hearing the food, Gu Lousheng coughed, pretended to stare at Dou'er, and said, "Steam an eggplant." After speaking, he glanced at the young man who was secretly staring at him: "Don't look like you're looking at the King of Hades. Looked at me, what do you want to eat, let Song Cheng make it together, and stay for a meal."

Hearing this sentence, the boy and Douer were so happy that they almost hugged and celebrated together. When they were about to say something, they were choked up by Gu Lousheng's words—"I'll deal with you later." After all, Gu Lousheng planned to go out, it was too much of a hindrance to be crowded in the kitchen!

"Let's make some soup, winter melon shredded meat soup, Dou'er likes to drink this." It was obvious that the young man was quite shy, and he said to Song Cheng, and as soon as he finished saying this, he was dragged away by Gu Lousheng out.

Song Cheng smiled and agreed, Douer wanted to chase the boy to help him, worried that he would be scolded by Gu Lousheng, but was stopped by Song Cheng: "It's better not to follow, you shouldn't worry too much." Douer After thinking about it, he nodded and stayed.

"Why are you hiding it from me, making me think you can't talk." Dou'er complained to Song Cheng a little bit, he heard Gu Lousheng say this name just now, it should be the name of the guy in front of him, it sounds very nice!

"I thought I wouldn't keep it, so I didn't say it. Later, you kept me, but I can't explain it." Song Cheng smiled and washed a piece of pork belly in the water, planning to make a bowl of steamed pork for him as Douer said. : "Don't be too anxious, I think the boss is not very angry." Song Cheng didn't know if his feelings were accurate, but the way he looked at Gu Lousheng did not look too angry.

"Oh, don't tell me, I was almost deceived by Lou Sheng!" Dou'er slapped his forehead suddenly: "I feel more at ease when you say that, but Lou Sheng will definitely scold me, I lied to him So long."

Song Cheng, who put the pork belly on the chopping board, rested his knuckles on the back of the knife with his left hand, and cut the meat slices with his right hand. Then he grabbed a handful from the rice noodles in a bowl on the side, and spread it evenly on the sliced ​​meat. All cut meat slices are coated with rice noodles.Then cut ginger and chopped green onion, put the big lotus leaves picked from the river a few days ago in a bowl, put all the meat slices in, drip with cooking wine and soy sauce, dip the willow leaves in water, and put them on top Sprinkle a few drops and set aside.

Fascinated by his movements, Douer lay down on the stove and looked at him: "It's still wrapped in lotus leaves? I've never seen the master do this before!"

"Lotus leaves have a fragrance, and it will be more fragrant when steamed. Sprinkle some water, so as not to dry it out after steaming." As he spoke, Song Cheng quickly shredded the meat, took a bowl to hold it, and scooped up some kudzu root with a spoon. Powder, mix it in, pour some soy sauce, and stir it up with chopsticks.

Douer happily walked over from behind the stove: "I'll help you! What kind of powder did you pour into the bowl just now? It looks like raw powder." He said, taking the bowl in Song Cheng's hand, Try to mix the shredded meat in the bowl well.

"Pudzu root powder. The kudzu root dug from the mountains can not only be used for cooking, but also ground into powder with a stone mortar, so that the shredded meat will be tenderer." Song Cheng explained to Douer, thinking that Gu Lousheng almost burned the kitchen in the morning Unable to hold back his actions, Song Cheng laughed out loud.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with me? I usually cook like this." Dou'er was a little puzzled. Looking at Song Cheng's appearance, he must be good at cooking, and I don't know if he did it somewhere. It was different from his, so it made Song Cheng laugh.

"No." Song Cheng thought for a while, then bent down and whispered something in Dou'er's ear, which made him almost drop the bowl.

"Hahaha, he must be forbidden from entering the kitchen! It's too dangerous!" Dou'er held the bowl, gloated, tears were about to come out of laughter, Song Cheng rolled his eyes and smiled, neither of them noticed Gu Lou who had gone and returned born.

After Gu Lousheng taught the young man a lesson, he dragged the young man back to the kitchen by the collar. Hearing Song Cheng and Douer laughing happily, he frowned: "Who are you calling dangerous?"

Dou'er immediately fell silent and stopped talking, and Song Cheng over there also buried his head while cutting the eggplant and didn't talk.Gu Lousheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Dou'er: "What are you laughing at? Tell me?"

Looking at Dou'er shaking his head like a rattle, and at the young man beside him holding an iron box with his head down, Gu Lousheng felt better, and said to Song Cheng that steamed eggplants should be added more. Minced garlic, I turned to the front hall of the restaurant to keep accounts.

"A Ping, did Lousheng make things difficult for you?" After Dou'er handed the bowl to Song Cheng, he ran to the boy's side, looked up and down, and it seemed that the other party had not been violently treated by Gu Lousheng, and he was completely relieved: "Lousheng is with you." What did you say?"

A Ping laughed, and pointed to the iron box in his arms: "Your father said, let me not come to propose marriage after the next year." Hearing this, Dou'er was completely lost in her heart, and gave him a hard look: "Then you are smiling so happily!"

A Ping saw that Douer seemed unhappy, and quickly explained: "Your father said that you are only thirteen, and it will take at least two or three years before he is willing to marry you to me. He asked me if I would like to come to the restaurant to help me learn Forget it, he said that this restaurant is going to be handed over to you as a dowry for you." Dou'er's nose was inexplicably sour when he heard it, and he asked, "What else? What else did Lou Sheng say..."

Aping blinked his eyes and said nothing.When Douer saw it, he felt that something was wrong, so he jumped up and pinched his cheeks: "Quickly, what else did Lou Sheng say?!" : "Father said, since I have decided to marry you to me, I will treat you well, and also said..."

"Say what?" Dou'er asked.Even Song Cheng, who was cutting the winter melon and then putting it into the pot, listened with pricked ears, almost scalding his hands suddenly.

"He said, since you are going to marry me, you have to tell me your real name. Although you are included in the Gu family's genealogy, but..." Before Ah Ping finished speaking, Dou'er's nose was no longer sore, and he wrinkled Together, they even got angry, yelling that Gu Lousheng really took pleasure in his own misfortune to retaliate.A Ping comforted Douer with a smile, but thought in his heart, Douer's name is so special!

It turned out that Gu Douer's name was originally Dou Er, which was written on a note that Gu Lousheng found from his baby.At that time, he didn't know any words, so he took a note and asked his elder brother. His wife came over to see it, and frowned, "Why did you give the child such a strange name?" So he simply renamed Dou'er and entered it in the family tree. , this real name was gradually forgotten by everyone.Now that Gu Lousheng specifically disclosed it to Gong Ping, it was clearly intentional!

Song Cheng, who finished cooking the soup and was serving it out of a large porcelain bowl, smiled and shook his head: This family is really lively.
