Reborn natural timid

Fan Jie's thin face was red, and his ears were red. Fang Jing smiled lightly, watching Fan Jie get dressed and rushed out, his eyes darkened, and he sighed softly.

The third son got up very early, his eyes were darkened and his spirit was listless. When he saw Fan Jie, he just nodded and splashed water to wash his face.The thin man also came out, winked at Fan Jie, called Fan Jie to a corner and said, "It's my fault, I didn't tell my family not to talk nonsense when I sent money to my family last time, now everyone in Wanzi knows that you are outside Made a lot of money."

Fan Jie just smiled, he can expect this kind of thing, if there is someone in Wanzi who sincerely comes to help, he will not refuse, but he is not sure about the third son, last time because Yang Rui gave the formula, this time If he stays in the shop again, he will be afraid of endless troubles, and the third son is indeed not authentic enough, so he won't come here even after he got the certificate early in the morning.

The thin man patted Fan Jie on the shoulder: "I'm sorry."

Fan Jie: "Do you think the thin brother can keep the third brother?"

The thin man hesitated for a while, then shook his head.People are selfish, he does it for his own benefit, and the third son has his own plans.

Fan Jie: "Don't worry, skinny brother, I know how to deal with it."

Fan Jie went to the kitchen to cook dumplings, Fang Jing also got up and washed up, several people sat in the room and ate, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

After the third son finished eating the dumplings, he wiped his mouth and said, "Fanfan, I know it's not easy for you. I made a mess yesterday, but I came out, and I don't want to just go back. Let me stay for a few days, and I will go find a job." have a look."

Fan Guoqi: "It's okay to live there, third son, you really don't want to be a chopping board? The salary paid by Fanfan is no less than that of outsiders."

The third son shook his head: "I thought about it all night yesterday. I can't get on the table with my skills. I don't like cooking as much as you do. I tried my best to think about the menu. Anyway, I'm doing this job just to make a living. Wait for me to find it. job, I'll move out."

Fan Jie: "The store isn't open yet. Don't be in a hurry, third son. You can stay here. There is room at home."

The third son snorted, collected his bowls and chopsticks and went out.

Fang Jing went out after breakfast, Fan Jie didn't ask, but just went back to the room and went into the space to clean up the fields.

The space is always warm like spring, and the gentle wind brings a rich fragrance of flowers, which made Fan Jie stretch his brows. He squatted in the field to loosen the soil and water, and then went to feed the chickens and pick up eggs. After working for a long time, his body was sticky. .

Looking at the dark green pool, Fan Jie simply took off his clothes and jumped in.I thought the pool was very deep, but I didn't expect that when he stepped on something hard on his chest, Fan Jie clamped it with his toes, it turned out to be the jade pendant in the shape of a lotus flower.

The piece of jade was soaked in the pond water, soft and smooth, and the rich green color was like water droplets, crystal clear without any impurities.

Fan Jie didn't know jade, so he couldn't tell what kind it was. After playing with it for a while, the jade pendant was so oily that it was about to drop green water drops, shining brightly in the sun.

Fan Jie took the jade pendant, dressed and went out of the space, found a red string and tied it around his neck.Thinking that this is a relic left by his father, I feel a little melancholy.

He always felt that behind his father's jumping into the river, his uncle hid too many things, even about the fact that he had space, did his uncle know a thing or two, but his uncle never asked, and he would never say it. Will add trouble.

Fan Jie planned to open a shop on the eighth day of the lunar new year, and he and the thin man stayed in the kitchen studying the menu and making new products.To put it bluntly, medicated food is similar to Chinese restaurants. If there are no new dishes for a month, people will get tired of their tastes and there will be fewer customers.

After all, no matter how delicious the food is, it can't stand to eat every meal. Whenever Fan Jie has a new idea, he will discuss it with Fan Guoqi and the thin man, and study it together.

The third son is not to be disturbed when he sees him, he looks for a job all day long, but fortunately there are many restaurants in city B, the third son has a certificate, and after the year there is a shortage of labor, the third son finds a small restaurant to work within two days, and the eighth day happens to be there Work there.

Fan Guoqi originally wanted to keep his third son to live here, but the third son said that he would not stay here any longer because he said that he would not stay here any longer, so he left with his luggage on the day the contract was signed.

Fan Guoqi stood at the door and looked at the back of the third son and shook his head, "If this man doesn't suffer once, he won't be at ease."

Fan Jie squeezed out a smile, looked left and right: "Where is Fang Jing, have you gone out again?"

Fan Guoqi stared: "Xiao Fang is a local, so it's not okay to visit relatives at home, what's wrong with you?"

Fan Jie stroked his hair, "It's nothing." The man always came and went without a trace, which made people feel a little uneasy.But he didn't want to meet Fang Jing these days, it was too embarrassing.

It is still the Chinese New Year period, and there are not many individual customers who come to eat. Most of them are treats to open-door dinners in the work unit. The business of Fan's Herbal Cuisine is still decent, but the customers are very interested in the new dishes, and the order rate is quite high.

Fan Jie knew that the medicated food shop could make money entirely from the reunion dinners before, but relying on these could not maintain the medicated diet shop's expenses, and he needed to find another way.

One day, he was studying how to make drunken chicken in the kitchen, when Li Hongying, the welcome guest, ran in: "Boss, there is a customer in front who insists on seeing you and wants to talk to you."

Fan Jie wiped his hands and asked, "What kind of person? Is it not to his liking?"

Li Hongying shook her head, "I don't know, but I've said it many times, and it's in the box."

Fan Jie nodded, and went out wearing an apron.

The thin man pulled Li Hongying and asked, "Are you here for trouble? How many people?"

"It looks like a family. The older one has been here several times a few years ago. He used to sit in the lobby. The box he just asked for today looks very friendly, very... very cultured, won't fight."

The thin man shook his head: "It's hard to say, we are from out of town, and we don't have anyone to take care of us locally, so you should keep an eye on it and let me know if there is anything wrong."

Fan Jie came to the box and looked at the guests in the room cautiously.

There were two men and a woman sitting in the room who looked familiar. Among them was an old man with gray hair who seemed to be a bit of a literati, and the other two were about 50 years old and looked like his son and daughter-in-law.

Fan Jie: "Hello, I'm the chef here. My name is Fan Jie. Can I ask you anything?"

The old man put down the wine, squinted his eyes and looked at Fan Jie, and said, "I heard that the chef here is a young man, but I didn't expect him to be so young. How old are you? You made all these by yourself?"

Fan Jie: "There is a chef in our kitchen. He is busy. I am over 20 this year."

Fan Jie didn't want to lie, but felt that being too young would make people worry, so he purposely made his age vague.

The old man nodded, "Not bad, what do you think?"

"Father, just say yes..."

The one who looked like a daughter-in-law quickly said: "You are just two chefs, can you accept the wedding banquet? I think this place is too remote, is there only one private room like this? And the menu is full of medicinal foods, will it hurt your stomach? ?”

The corners of Fan Jie's mouth twitched, "The medicinal materials in our store are selected to be mild in nature. We will not recommend things that are very nourishing. If a customer orders an unsuitable dish, we will also recommend it according to the physical condition of the customer. Medicinal food is not medicine. , only for auxiliary benefits. Moreover, we will also consider the relativity of various raw materials to suggest the matching of dishes on a table. There are only two private rooms, and ten tables can be placed in the hall. If you order too many, we will There are also houses, if time is urgent, we can clean up two more rooms and come out."

Fan Jie said it very honestly, he has a big stomach to eat as much food, and the store is only so big, he has no other choice. In addition to the kitchen, there are three empty rooms in the backyard, which can still be used after tidying up.

The old man said 'hmm' and didn't speak, just held the wine glass and smelled the wine.

The woman just looked around and kept saying, "Dad, your [-]th birthday will be held here, too..." Although the decoration in the box is good, the scene is too small and the price is too expensive. The money is not as good as going to a star hotel, which has more face.

The old man took a sip and said with a smile: "Can you go to my house to make it? You prepare the materials, and the price will be set by you."

The son quickly said: "This is a good way. Dad, I will talk to this little master. You eat first."

Fan Jie went out with someone, who said: "Ah, my surname is Zhou, you should know my son, Zhou Kai."

Fan Jie nodded quickly: "Hello, Uncle Zhou, I'm sorry I didn't know it was you."

Uncle Zhou looked Fan Jie up and down, and smiled gently: "I heard from Xiaokai that you are very young. I saw it today, and it is true. Grandpa Xiaokai likes your food here. If the date is too embarrassing for you..."

Fan Jie knew that the other party didn't finish the sentence on purpose. It seemed that Uncle Tang was very concerned about Mr. Tang's words, "The date is nothing, but there are not enough people in the store. If I go to your place, no one will help me. I'm afraid it will be too busy. Let's talk about a group of us going to your place. It's also inconvenient, can you set a time, we cook some time-consuming dishes here, can you do the stir-fry first?"

Uncle Zhou nodded: "Well, your brain is quite good. Then it's settled. What is so fragrant, is it a new dish?"

Fan Jie smiled, the drunken chicken was still steaming behind.The chicken is a hen raised in the space. It is stuffed with more than a dozen medicines and sewn with thread. The skin and meat are rubbed repeatedly for more than ten minutes with the same material and wine seasoning. After the taste is steamed, the meat is fragrant. With the unique aroma of wine, smelling it will arouse the gluttons in the stomach.

Fan Jie delivered the prepared Drunken Chicken, and the family was very satisfied with the meal. They ordered the menu and paid the deposit on the same day.Fan Jie gave wine at a discount, flower tea and flower sauce, and sent Zhou Kai's elders away.

……

When Fang Jing came back, he saw Fan Jie happily looking at the purchase list and asked about the situation. He raised his eyebrows and tapped Fan Jie on the head: "You are ashamed to accept their deposit."

Fan Jie frowned: "I don't want to accept it, but the old man insists on giving it, and I think it's only natural to give money for meals. Brother Zhou wants to say it in advance, and I will never shirk it, but Brother Zhou didn't mention it, so naturally There is his way. Besides, I will send a red envelope back home, people did not eat me for nothing, and I did not work for nothing."

Fang Jing narrowed his eyes, leaned his head forward, and the hot air in his mouth swept over Fan Jie's cheeks as he spoke, "You have already made up your mind, I can't see that you are very smart, you are two-faced."

Fan Jie pushed away Fang Jing's close face, and waved his hands like chasing flies: "If you drink too much, go to bed early and go."

Fang Jing thought of something, just looked at where Fan Jie was busy, and turned to wash. If Fan Jie could think of such a way, then there is nothing to worry about on the day of the [-]th birthday of the old man of the Zhou family. There will be nothing wrong with doing it.

……

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Fan Jie went to Zhou's house ahead of time, and before the guests came, he paid birthday greetings and gave Zhou Kai a red envelope. He knew that the old man of the Zhou family would not accept it, but Zhou Kai was different.

Zhou Kai weighed the red envelope with a cigarette in his mouth: "Why, did you make money? The portion is heavy enough, take it back."

Fan Jie: "This is a birthday gift, you must accept it, don't be polite to me, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity."

Zhou Kai laughed: "You are very good, why were you so stupid before?"

Fan Jie: ...

Zhou Kai took the gift money and didn't say anything, but Zhou's mother looked a lot more kind when she came again, and her tone was much gentler than that in the store, and she asked if she wanted to help.

Fan Jie couldn't ask the hostess to help, so he quickly invited people out. The ingredients were all prepared last night, and the seasonings were also prepared. He only waited for the notice to start frying a few small stir-fries, stews and other things. The restaurant is also ready, and it will be delivered later. Fan Guoqi thoughtfully chartered a car, and when the food is delivered, it does not need to be heated, and it will be served directly on the table.

Zhou's yard is a bit smaller than Fan's medicated food store, but it is not so crowded with only three tables of guests. The yard is decorated elegantly. Although there is no small fountain, it can be seen from the flowers and plants planted in the yard that the owner is quite leisurely and elegant. .

Mr. Zhou was very festive today and was chatting with the juniors in front. Where Uncle Zhou and Mother Zhou were receiving guests, Zhou Kai was free, so he just watched Fan Jie cook in the kitchen, and kept asking: "Then why wait? Leave half of it for me first, and this, that..."

Fan Jie glared at Zhou Kai: "If you like to eat, you can go to my place to keep it and no one will grab it from you. You said that I put half of the dishes on the plate, and you have a bright face?"

Zhou Kai groaned, his eyes scattered: "Tang Liu is coming today."

Fan Jie was stunned for a while, and his hands didn't stop: "You go to the front to greet the guests, don't get in the way here."

Zhou Kai coughed, and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you, Tang Liu is thinking about Fang Jing of your family."

Fan Jie: ...

Zhou Kai said proudly: "I have seen it for a long time. What is the relationship between me and Xiaojing? Brothers are like brothers and women are like clothes. That woman takes herself too seriously." The implication is, no Grandpa was dumped, it was Grandpa who dumped her!

Fan Jie thought for a while before saying, "Fang Jing's surname is Fang, and my surname is Fan."

Zhou Kai snorted, muttered something like 'I'm really boring and haven't started yet', and went to the front with his hands behind his back.
