The next morning was fine and sunny.After breakfast, everyone couldn't wait to get on the carriage and rush to the suburbs.

Fuyuan County is surrounded by undulating mountains and forests. Not far from the county seat, there is a small river flowing at the foot of a mountain, and there is a gentle hillside nearby. People call this place Shilipo.Every spring, people often come here for outings, and Yang Fan also chose this place this time.

Tian Dazhuang was driving, Yang Fan was sitting next to him, and several children were crowded in the car, chatting non-stop.

After getting along for a long time, everyone is familiar with each other.Especially Gouzi and Qiuyue, the two characters are lively and active, with them, there is no need to worry about being left alone.

But amidst the laughter, Lin Mozhu, who was sitting by the window, looked very out of place.His personality is quiet, rather withdrawn.Except for Yang Fan and Lin Mofei, he always had an indifferent expression.

This kind of Lin Mozhu made several children feel very awkward when getting along with him, and even a little scared psychologically.So on weekdays, even Qiuyue and the others who are the same age don't talk to him very much, let alone play with him.

Lin Mozhu didn't care about this, and continued to go his own way.Like now, I am sitting by the car window alone, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.On the contrary, the well-behaved little Murphy would come over and tug on his sleeve from time to time, and chat with him "ahhh".

This is what Yang Fan saw when he opened the curtain.He knew that Lin Mozhu matured prematurely due to the pressure of life, and would not be as playful as children of the same age.But he didn't know that Lin Mozhu was completely out of it.

Seeing this, Yang Fan couldn't help frowning.

In modern times, it is obviously abnormal for Lin Mozhu to behave like this.In the eyes of experts, this is a psychological problem.However, those remarks in the previous life do not seem to apply to this world.

It is said that the children of the poor are headed home early.Here, because of the poverty of life and the state of society, children are forced to mature early.

Girls are 15 years old and Ji, and basically start talking about marriage at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and they can get married after they give up. 15 years old, this is still a false age, it is only 13 years old according to the full age.

Although the men are weak in their twenties, they still go on blind dates at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Many families can't wait, and it is common for them to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. 17 years old, according to his full age, he is only 15 years old.

Lin Mozhu is 12 years old, he already has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, he is very assertive.Except that due to lack of experience, the scope of thinking in many places is not as good as that of an adult, he is not much inferior to an adult.

Therefore, Yang Fan can't treat him simply as a child.Then, those theories are not suitable for Lin Mozhu.

From this point of view, apart from Lin Mozhu's too calm personality, he is not lively enough.Except for this, there is nothing unusual about it.

Sighing secretly, Yang Fan lowered the curtain.

Find some time to have a good talk with your child~

Lin Mozhu found out when Yang Fan lifted the curtain.In fact, he seemed to be staring outside in a daze, but he was actually paying attention to Yang Fan who was sitting in front.

In his heart, he actually didn't want to stay in the car at all.It's a pity that only two people can sit in front, Tian Dazhuang has to drive the car, and Yang Fan sits on the side, so he can't squeeze in.

Reaching out in time to support the little Mofei who was staggering because of laughing too happily, Lin Mozhu sighed secretly in his heart-why hasn't he arrived yet?

Under Lin Mozhu's expectation, after driving for half an hour, the carriage finally arrived at the small river.

The gurgling river flows by, and the three-meter-wide river is lined with smooth pebbles on both sides.Not far from the river bank is a small hillside, the hillside rises gently, and when you climb up the hillside, you will find a wide flat land, surrounded by two green hills.

The carriage stopped on the hillside, and after getting out of the carriage, with Yang Fan's permission, several children immediately ran away together.

Seeing Lin Mozhu holding Xiao Mofei obediently beside him, Yang Fan smiled and said, "Aren't you going to play?"

The child calmly looked at the surrounding scenery, then shook his head.

There was a helpless look in Yang Fan's eyes. When he saw the horse grazing quietly beside him, he suddenly had an idea: "Do you want to learn how to ride a horse with me?"

"Huh?" The topic jumped too fast, and Lin Mozhu didn't react immediately. When he followed Yang Fan's fingers and saw the horse, and then understood the meaning of Yang Fan's words, his eyes lit up.

"Can you?" The look of anticipation made it hard to refuse.

Yang Fan smiled and said: "Of course, let Da Zhuang help to watch Xiao Fei, and you and I will ride a horse."

As he spoke, he beckoned Tian Dazhuang, who was spreading tablecloths on the grass, to come over.After instructing him to look at Little Murphy, Yang

Van went to untie the rope tied to the tree.

Little Mofei reluctantly let go of Lin Mozhu's hand. Seeing him pouting his mouth, Lin Mozhu coaxed, "Xiao Fei, brother, go ride a horse and come back to accompany you, okay?"

As he spoke, he took out a small handful of candied fruit from the bamboo basket on the ground and put it in Little Murphy's big pocket: "Sit here and play obediently, I'll be back in a while."

The small cloth pocket straddling the little guy's belly was specially sewed by Mrs. Zhang for little Murphy, with cute flowers and puppies embroidered on it.Every day after waking up, Lin Mozhu would put it on his back, and stuff a handful of snacks into it.

When the big guys see it, they will put a handful of food in it from time to time.After a day, the cloth pocket not only won't deflate, but will become more and more bulging.Often before going to bed at night, Lin Mozhu pours out the contents of the cloth pocket, and all kinds of food can be piled up into a hill.

The reason why he developed this habit is that Xiao Murphy is not picky at all, he eats whatever he has, and he eats it deliciously.Everyone said that watching his little mouth move and eat is very cute.

And the biggest reason was because little Mo Fei was too thin when he first arrived at the Yang family.His skinny body was full of bones, and he could see the joints inside when he stretched out his two small hands.Everyone who watched was distressed, and wanted to stuff food into his hands.Little Mofei has small hands and can't hold many things. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang sewed him a cloth pocket.

As time went by, little Mo Fei became fatter day by day.Now she has flesh on her body, and her little face is even more chubby and very cute.But the habit that everyone has developed has not changed, and they like to stuff food into his cloth pockets.

Little Murphy was easy to coax, with the candied fruit that his brother stuffed into his mouth, his cheeks bulging and moving.Seeing Lin Mozhu go away, he didn't make a fuss, sat on the tablecloth obediently, counting two candied fruit in his hand seriously.

Yang Fan led the horse, removed the saddle from the cart and put it on.Then he took Lin Mozhu a little farther before jumping on the horse

North eye 〇

This horse has grown up and looks very strong.At the beginning, it was mainly bought to pull a carriage, and the people in the tooth shop suggested that he buy a zipper because it was cheap.

Yang Fan had learned horse riding in the club before. Although his riding skills were not very good, he liked the sport very much.So I insisted on buying a strong horse, and let Tian Dazhuang serve him with food and drink every day.However, he has been busy and hasn't had the chance to ride yet. Today he finally got the chance, and he couldn't wait to slip around after getting on the horse.

After running for a while, Yang Fan stretched out his hand to Lin Mozhu: "You come up too, I'll take you for a run."

Although the horse is only one meter high from the ground, most of them will be scared for the first time when sitting on his horseback.So when Lin Mozhu just started learning, Yang Fan wanted to take him for a run first to eliminate his psychological fear.

Looking at the snorting horse, Lin Mozhu was really scared.Others are only as tall as a horse's back, and this horse is a giant in his eyes.But with Yang Fan around, he feels at ease.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the fear in his heart and handed Yang Fan his hand.

When Lin Mozhu was put on the horse's back, his calves felt weak from fear, but when he was held in Yang Fan's arms, all the fear and uneasiness disappeared.His blind trust in Yang Fan made him feel that as long as Yang Fan was around, there would be no danger.

"It's okay, just open your eyes and take a look." Holding the child's thin body, Yang Fan frowned imperceptibly.Little Murphy has gained weight after being raised for such a period of time, why is the child still so thin?

Lin Mozhu obeyed and slowly opened his eyes.

Sitting on a high horseback, Lin Mozhu felt that his vision was completely different.Although he held the saddle tightly with his hands, his beautiful eyes were already shining brightly.

Yang Fan said, "We're leaving." Then he slapped the horse's butt and kicked his feet, and the horse started to walk.

Behind him is Yang Fan's warm chest, in front of him is a vast grass field, and in the distance are picturesque green mountains and green waters.Feeling the breeze blowing in front of him, Lin Mozhu felt an unprecedented joy in his heart.

Seeing that the child had gotten used to it, Yang Fan whipped his whip and let the horse run.

"Wow~" Lin Mozhu was taken aback by the horse running suddenly, but immediately he was captured by the feeling brought by the running.

The child's happy laughter put Yang Fan in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.But he himself didn't notice the undisguised gentleness on his face and the deep love in his eyes at this moment.

"Brother Yang, hurry up!"

"it is good."

The horse that led them to run seemed to take away all their troubles.The heart also became free and broad with the running. This kind of happy experience made Lin Mozhu abandon the fear that he had said, and even couldn't help laughing out loud.

After running two laps on the wide grass, when Yang Fan stopped, Lin Mozhu was very reluctant.

"Okay, next you have to learn how to ride." Yang Fan touched his head and said to him with a smile.

"Well, Brother Yang, I will definitely learn it!"

Looking at his serious face, Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh.

【End of this chapter】

Sorry, there is only one chapter 3 today

No.70—Chapter Riding and Cooking

Yang Fan tried his best to recall how the coach taught him at the beginning, and then carefully explained it bit by bit.The child's attitude towards learning was as serious as ever. Although he couldn't control the fear in his heart while sitting alone on the horseback, he was very strong and did not give up.

A little bit of learning, a little bit of progress.When someone in the distance called them to have lunch, the child had already dared to let Yang Fan let go of the rein, and then rode the horse by himself, walking slowly.

"Learned quickly." Yang Fan smiled and praised: "Little Mozhu is great!"

Children like to be praised, even though Lin Mozhu was steady, he was still very happy when he heard Yang Fan's praise.

"Okay, let's go eat first." After Yang Fan finished speaking, he also got on the horse's back, sat behind the child as well, and then raised his whip to make the horse run.

The two people before, one taught and the other learned, were very serious.At this moment, when I heard the call to eat, I realized that I was already hungry.

For lunch, I brought bread and roast chicken, but because it was cold, I had to roast it again before eating.Tian Dazhuang and Qiuyue had already taken out a small stove and a small iron pot, and directly boiled a pot of mushroom soup in the river.

The grilled charred noodles are cut in the middle, a piece of grilled chicken is stuffed, and then served with hot soup, it is very delicious.Especially when everyone has been playing all morning and they are all hungry.Anything is delicious when you are hungry, let alone food.

Everyone sat around the tablecloth and talked about the novelty they had seen that morning.Xiao Mofei sat obediently in Yang Fan's arms, holding a piece of cake with his two short hands, took a sip of the soup his brother handed him, and took a bite of the cake.I don't know if I understood it, but I yelled "ahhh" from time to time, fearing that others would ignore him.

After lunch, everyone cleaned up and continued to play again.Lin Mozhu led Xiao Mofei for a walk for a while, and then went on to learn how to ride a horse with Yang Fan.

On a sunny afternoon in spring, the grass is green and the breeze is blowing, blowing a piece of green waves.In the green world, a tall black horse strolled in it. On the horse's back, the young man was nervously holding the rein.However, as time passed, the expression on the boy's face became more and more relaxed, and even gradually revealed a smile.

Lin Mozhu learned quickly, and by the time everyone finished their outing and was about to go back, he was already able to ride a horse alone for a certain distance.

Because of riding a horse, Lin Mozhu was very excited for this outing, and he was even more reluctant when he left.

"Brother Yang, are we still here?"

Not wanting to disappoint the child, Yang Fan nodded with a smile: "Of course, next time I will take you to ride a horse here again."

The place is nice, the grounds are vast and the views are great.It is a good pastime to come here for a walk and teach children how to ride a horse.

On the carriage back, the children were even more excited because they had played all day.They got together to discuss what they thought was the funniest thing, and because Lin Mozhu rode a horse, it attracted the envy and admiration of several children.

Little Mo Fei, who was leaning against Lin Mozhu's arms, saw his brother being admired by everyone, and he also puffed out his small chest as if he was honored.That cute little appearance drew everyone's roar of laughter.

— Accompanied by laughter all the way, the carriage hurried back to the county seat against the west-slanting sun.

This kind of life is very beautiful, because we know that it is hard-won, and everyone cherishes it.

----Lian-City-Independence-Fa---

After a short break, Yang Fan returned to his busy work.

The business of restaurants and commercial banks is very good, and the money keeps pouring into the pockets.As for the research on toothpaste, with the help of a senior doctor hired by Pei Ningyuan, he finally made some progress.

Overall, most things are going in a good direction.However, it is impossible for everything in life to go smoothly. Right now, there is a problem that bothers Yang Fan.

That's the business of restaurant chefs.

When he first opened the restaurant, because Yang Fan planned to focus on hot pot in the early stage.The hot pot only needs to be prepared with a secret recipe, and then the rest is to cook the soup base with the recipe, wash and cut all kinds of side dishes and arrange them on a plate, and then they can be served directly on the table.There is no technical content, and naturally there is no need for a chef.

But in the long run, it will definitely not work without a chef.Because it is impossible for a restaurant to sell hot pot alone.

One is that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there will be fewer and fewer people eating hot pot.When it comes to summer, who would still be willing to face a steaming hot pot in the hot weather?

The second is that there is no such thing as "patent" here. When others see that he is doing a good job in hotpot business, they will definitely follow suit.According to San'er's investigation, it was only half a month since Zhiwei Restaurant opened, and someone in Fuyuan County opened a small hot pot restaurant.Although the taste is not as good as Zhiwei Restaurant, and the variety of side dishes is not enough, it is cheaper than Zhiwei Restaurant.So it is inevitable that some people will divert to small shops to eat.

Therefore, it is definitely not enough to just make hot pot.If you want a restaurant to change its operating direction, the first condition is to recruit a chef.

This matter is very simple to say, but it made Yang Fanchou lose his hair when it was realized.

In ancient times, it was not easy to find a chef with excellent cooking skills. In the small county of Fuyuan County, let alone a chef with good cooking skills, even a chef with good cooking skills was also very difficult.

There is only Yakeju in the entire Fuyuan County. According to Pei Ningyuan, the chef of their restaurant was poached from the big restaurant in the county government with great efforts.As for other restaurants, Yang Fan heard that there are also two chefs with good cooking skills, but some of them have already signed contracts with other restaurants.In order to prevent the chefs from quitting, those restaurants could not have no restrictions when signing the contract. In addition to the high remuneration, the general chefs would not leave suddenly.

Under such circumstances, it was very difficult for Yang Fan to recruit a chef.

The recruitment information has been posted on the information list at the door early, and there are also applicants.But Yang Fan asked them to cook some special dishes, and their hopes were completely destroyed.

These chefs who applied for the job were either working as chefs in small restaurants, or starting as chefs in slightly larger restaurants.There are dishes he is good at, but he can count no more than five dishes on his fingers.And after making it, Yang Fan tasted it, and gave the evaluation: it can only be considered good, and there is still a certain distance from being delicious.

In this way, the recruitment has been suspended for almost a month, but a satisfactory chef has not yet been found.Yang Fan wondered if his requirements were too high, and he was hesitating whether to lower the standard, or when he spent a lot of money to go to the county government to poach a talent like Pei Ningyuan.Suddenly a pie fell from the sky, and it just hit him.

Here's the thing.

This day happened to be at the end of the month, and the accounts of the restaurant and the commercial bank had to be settled, so Yang Fan took Lin Mozhu to the restaurant first.

Assisting Yang Fan in managing the account for a month or two, Lin Mozhu is already very good.Not only did he learn [-]% to [-]% of the knowledge taught by Yang Fan, but he also figured out some techniques for making accounts by himself.In this regard, Yang Fan applauded the child's efforts while marveling at the child's talent.

Yang Fan wanted to cultivate him, not only in accounting, but also in business matters to guide Lin Mozhu to think.So he would always bring Lin Mozhu with him when he went to business firms or restaurants to do business.Yang Fan still needs Lin Mozhu's help for matters related to accounts and money such as the settlement at the end of the month, so he will naturally take him with him.

The two walked to the restaurant as usual.

When he was approaching the restaurant, Yang Fan first noticed something strange—he saw a few people gathered around the entrance of his restaurant from a distance.

Subconsciously, Yang Fan thought that someone was causing trouble for their restaurant, so he quickened his pace.At this time, Lin Mozhu also saw it, and trotted after him.

"What's going on?" Yang Fan asked an uncle who was watching the fun before he went in.

The uncle turned his head to see Yang Fan, and the uncle who recognized Yang Fan immediately shouted: "The boss is here, the boss is here!"

Hearing his shout, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the door.Seeing the big guy staring at him, knowing that he couldn't ask anything, Yang Fan simply stepped into the restaurant by himself.

Because of Yang Fan's sudden appearance, there was complete silence, and a weak voice became clear: "I'm sorry, I'm leaving now..."

Yang Fan followed the voice and saw a thin figure with his head bowed. He couldn't help but frowned and asked the embarrassed Wu Yihe: "Qinghe, what's going on?"

Hearing his question, Wu Yuhe replied hesitantly: "Boss, someone is applying for a chef..."

Before Wu Qinghe finished speaking, Yang Fan asked, "Application for a chef? Where is he?"

The young man who was about to leave stopped when he heard the words, and looked up at Yang Fan timidly but with a glimmer of hope: "Boss Yang, I am the one who is applying for the job..."

Seeing the boy's appearance, Yang Fan frowned again.The young man has exquisite facial features and a small melon-seeded face. He should be quite beautiful in the first place.It's just that there is a red birthmark the size of a baby's palm in the lower corner of the boy's left eye.

And the conspicuous birthmark did not make people ignore a strange pale pink mark between the teenager's eyebrows.The pattern looks familiar, it looks like a flower shape.

However, although it is strange that the boy has such a slightly charming mark on his eyebrows, it is not enough to make Yang Fan feel disgusted.Yang Fan is not a person who judges people by appearance, because he doesn't like a birthmark on his face.

The reason why he frowned was mainly because the boy was too young.

He looked like a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, so thin and weak that he might not even be able to turn a spatula.At such a young age, the time to learn how to cook is limited. The most important thing for a chef is not only talent but also experience. How good can a chef like him be?

However, although Yang Fan was skeptical in his heart, he still decided to let the boy try: "Okay, you go to the kitchen to fry two special dishes first."

Seeing Yang Fan frowning, the young man who thought he had failed again, suddenly smiled happily when he heard Yang Fan say this, and immediately nodded excitedly at Yang Fan: "Yes, Boss Yang, I'm going right away!"

When the people watching the excitement around heard what Yang Fan said, they all showed surprise expressions.Wu Qinghe was even more hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Yang Fan felt puzzled, and couldn't help guessing whether the young man had something that he didn't know about.But now the most important thing is not to ask why, he beckoned San'er to take the boy to the back kitchen first.

The boy followed San'er into the back hall.Yang Fan asked Wu Qinghe to talk to him in the box on the second floor after letting all the onlookers disperse.

Because all his attention was on the young man just now, Yang Fan didn't notice the surprised expression on Lin Mozhu's face when he saw the young man who followed two steps slowly into the restaurant.

Seeing Yang Fan and Wu Qinghe go upstairs, Lin Mozhu hesitated, and followed him upstairs.

The three entered the box, and as soon as they closed it, Yang Fan asked, "What's going on?"
