Rebirth of the third-rate cook

When I was young, the director of the orphanage often said that when a person dies, his soul leaves his body, and he will see things that he could not see when he was alive.

Liu Guo never believed it.

However, at this moment, he had to believe it.

When the heat wave of the explosion rolled over him, before he could feel the pain, he was blown beyond recognition.

The first thing Liu Guo saw after his soul was out of his body was his indistinguishable face. Immediately, he couldn't help crying about his bad luck—he had a handsome face, but he died so ugly.

However, before he started to "cry bitterly", the picture of the kitchen before the explosion flashed before his eyes. In the picture, there was Chen Lu whom he was thinking about, or more precisely, Chen Lu who was loosening the gas valve.

Who said that dead people can't feel pain? Liu Guo was sure that the moment he saw Chen Lu, he felt as if he was hit in the heart with a hammer. Even if he became a soul, he would not feel the dull pain. Not badly felt.

He couldn't figure it out, two people who grew up together depended on each other, why would they harm themselves like this?

Not caring about mourning for his own corpses scattered everywhere, Liu Guohun floated out of the hotel following his heart.

At this time, the periphery of the hotel was full of people, the police cordoned off, and the firefighters were putting out the fire.Liu Guo couldn't help but rejoice that the restaurant's business hours had passed, and there was no one else in the restaurant except himself, and there were very few outsiders, otherwise, the casualties would have been serious.

Glancing outside the warning line, he immediately saw Chen Lu. However, unlike the sneer he showed when he let go of the valve just now, Chen Lu was crying so much that his face was covered with tears and snot. The posture of entering the sea of ​​fire, that heartbroken appearance, really made Liu Guo have to admire his acting skills.

"Brother Yue, the fruit is still in there! He has been practicing in the kitchen every day after work for the Chef King Competition. You must save him! You must save him!"

Chen Lu tightly tugged on Li Mingyue's sleeves with both hands. Li Mingyue glanced at him with a very bad expression on his face. The severity of the explosion, let alone people inside, even if people were on the road outside the door , it is hard to say whether he will die or not, and there is no way to save him.

Looking at Chen Lu's pretentious appearance, Liu Guo felt at that moment that he had never known this person before, this person who grew up together and loved him silently for many years.

During the years in the orphanage, it was Liu Guo who had been protecting the emaciated Chen Lu from being bullied by others; after leaving the orphanage, because Chen Lu was in poor health and could not be tired, it was Liu Guo who worked desperately to make money to support the two of them Their lives were on the right track until they came to this five-star Dongyang restaurant and were considered by the chef to be willing to accept two people as apprentices.

Liu Guo has always wanted to earn a way out for the two of them, so when faced with the opportunity in front of him, he was naturally more serious than apprentices who graduated from other formal chef schools. He insisted on spending three times more time than others to make up for knife skills, cooking pots, cooking skills, etc. Side dishes and a series of basics. During that time, I slept less than four hours a day, but I was happy every day. I always thought that I could learn a skill, so I didn’t have to worry about being excluded by this society.

In eight years, Liu Guo has completed all the upgrade trials all the way, and really stayed in this restaurant. From a chef of cold dishes to being able to serve stir-fried dishes, from a single cuisine to being able to be independent, he finally became the chief chef of this five-star restaurant. The one who supported Liu Guo along the way was Chen Lu who was always by his side.

I have to fight for everything, and I don’t even care if I make people around me think that I am a utilitarian villain who chases fame and fortune, because he is waiting, waiting for everything to get better, waiting for his life to be stable, so he can put it on his heart The children on the road live a safe and worry-free life.

It's just that all the good things came to an abrupt end as soon as they set sail.

And the one who ruined all of this turned out to be this child who had been protected by him for many years.

How ironic.

Feeling that the flames in the distance were moving away from him, Liu Guo gave up thinking about why Chen Lu wanted to kill him. Whether he knew the reason or not was meaningless, and it was over when it was over.

It doesn't matter, just rest like this, no need to struggle to climb up, no need to think about how to live a better life in the future, come and go alone, there is nothing to worry about.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his consciousness was disappearing. Before Liu Guo completely lost consciousness, the last thing he thought about was whether there is black and white in this world, and who would give it to him? My own soul leads the way...

"Liu Guo! Dozed off early in the morning, have you forgotten what day it is?"

The left hip hurt, Liu Guo jumped up, baring her teeth, and faced the angry Meng Wanshan, she was taken aback immediately: "Master? Why are you here?"

Ever since he became a teacher, the master has basically been in a state of elusiveness, and the number of times he comes to the restaurant throughout the year can be counted on one hand.

No, that's not the point, he clearly remembered that he was killed by the bomb.So, after being taken aback for a while, Liu Guo quickly bypassed Master, rushed to the dressing room, looked at his face in the mirror left and right, hey, it was intact, there was no sign of being burned at all, it was still the same Handsome and compelling.

In the end, before the stinky beauty was finished, another kick was kicked on the right buttock: "Damn boy, are you dozing off to be stupid? Still have time to look in the mirror? If you dare to mess up today's upgrade test, I will lose face. Look at me!" I can't kick you to death."

Upgrade try?

Liu Guo turned her head and suddenly thought of a possibility that she was reborn?In other words, everything hasn't started yet, and I still have a chance to shuffle the cards and start over?

Excited, Liu Guo embraced Meng Wanyang: "Master! It's great to see you! I love you so much!"

Meng Wanyang was so relieved by Liu Guo's flying from outside the sky that he bent his knees and almost sat down on the ground. He finally pulled Liu Guo away, and said with disgust: "What's the wind again? Don't think Flatter me, and I'll let you go, there are five examiners for the upgrade test today, and I won't count if I say it alone!"

After being repeatedly reminded by Meng Wanyang, Liu Guo finally remembered the business at hand.In the last life, Liu Guo stood out in the promotion test and became the only official chef among the apprentices who signed a contract with Dongyang Restaurant. In this life, will he go the same way?

Meng Wanyang saw Liu Guo who was excited like a monkey one second, but looked like he was contemplating the next second, so he couldn't help but raised his hand and gave him an adze: "Why are you losing your energy again? Don't you kid?" Tell me you are nervous, who are you showing this dead face to?"

Liu Guo covered his forehead and looked at Meng Wanyang sadly: "Master, if I say I don't want to take the upgrade test, will you beat me to death?"

Meng Wanyang patted his beer belly lightly with his right hand, and said casually: "No, it's not worth killing you."

"Master! I know you are the best!"

"I'll just throw you into the frying pan and watch you fend for yourself!"

Liu Guo, who just stretched out his arms to hug Meng Wanyang, bent his elbows and hugged himself. He calculated the biggest pot in the kitchen, not to mention, it was more than enough to blow himself up. I couldn't help feeling another chill, which really poisoned Master's heart the most!

After finishing his harsh words, Meng Wanyang pulled a stool and sat down: "Tell me, why don't you suddenly want to participate in the upgrade test?"

You can't say it's because you were reborn, right?Liu Guo thought for a long time, and finally found a reasonable reason: "Because if you take the promotion test, if you don't do well in the test, others will say that the master has no ability to teach apprentices, but if you do well in the test, you have to stay in Dongyang. None of them."

"What's wrong with staying in Dongyang? How many chefs have sharpened their heads and want to come. You have such a good opportunity, why don't you want it?"

Liu Guo knew that although Meng Wanyang was his master, he had always treated him like a son, and he had thought about his future development for himself. Facing Meng Wanyang like this, those lies that slipped out of his mouth were impossible to tell no matter what. exported.

Taking a deep breath: "Master, it's good to stay in Dongyang, but after that, it's not that you don't know how difficult it is to climb up step by step, it's not that I don't have the confidence, it's just that this is not what I want, I An orphan with no roots, what he wants most is to have a home. Learn a skill from the master, enough to support himself, and when he has some savings in the future, he meets the right person, opens a small shop, and lives a small life. It can’t compare to the scenery in Dongyang, but the days like that are solid.”

Meng Wanyang stared into Liu Guo's eyes for a long time, knowing that what the boy said was not a lie, he couldn't understand his apprentice for a while.This kid was still full of fighting spirit before yesterday, as if he was full of confidence in everything in the future, why did he wake up like this, well, how should I put it, it is not negative, but a look that has seen through the world, The feeling of not wanting to fight anymore.

There would be nothing wrong with saying these words from his own mouth, but when he heard them from Liu Guo, who was in his twenties, it sounded like a child wearing big shoes, Meng Wanyang still couldn't get used to it.

"Does Chen Lu know?" After a long silence, Meng Wanyang finally spoke.

Suddenly hearing Chen Lu's name, Liu Guo's heart still twitched, and then he shook his head honestly: "I didn't say that, he has been working hard for the upgrade test, and I don't want to affect him." Saying this in his mouth, Liu Guo But he was thinking in his heart, maybe from Chen Lu's point of view, he wished he would not participate.

His own apprentice knew, knew what Liu Guo was hiding, but, there were some things that it was not easy for a master to ask, "Then what are your plans for the future?"

"Well, I want to find a small restaurant first, that is, the kind that only needs one person in the whole kitchen. First, to accumulate experience, and second, to hone my skills. After all, the dishes of five-star restaurants are similar to those of ordinary small restaurants. Still very different.”

Meng Wanshan didn't open his mouth. Listening to Liu Guo's words, it wasn't just a sudden whim. At least he had already thought clearly about what he wanted and what he should do. After a moment of silence, he sighed: "You already said that, I'm the teacher. It’s not good to say anything else, but at the beginning, I only wanted to accept you alone, but you forced me to accept Chen Lu together. I can see that you have taken him with you in everything these years, for fear of losing his benefits. .Now that you decide to leave, what about him?"

Liu Guo's eyes darkened: "Lu Zi has done a good job here, it's not easy for him to adapt to an environment, and I'm not leaving to enjoy the blessings, and I don't know when I will find another home, so I won't take him with me. Besides, maybe I have been too self-righteous all this time, maybe he would be better off by himself without me."

If you were not sure just now, now Meng Wanyang has a little idea in his mind. In all likelihood, the two children had a conflict, and it was too big to be able to work together.

"Since you have made a decision, go ahead," he said, patting Liu Guo on the shoulder, "but remember to come and say hello to Lao Tzu during the holidays, otherwise, see if I don't kick your ass!"

Liu Guo pursed her lips and hugged Meng Wanyang, not wanting him to see her worthless tears, so she buried her head on Meng Wanyang's shoulder, "Master..."
