eighth story

Hearing what Wu Qinyang said, Xuan Jue's expression moved slightly, and he said tentatively: "Your squad leader... sounds like a nice person."

"It's not bad." Wu Qinyang said, "Squad monitor... It's troublesome to be troublesome, anyway, I don't want to be the monitor. There are only a few girls in the class. It should be good for the teacher to let her be the monitor... She is also from this city. If I remember correctly, she was also admitted to the hospital last time? Anyway, that’s what happened..." Wu Qinyang seemed unwilling to discuss Zhu Mingyue with Xuan Jue, although Xu Xu He babbled a long series of words, but it was obviously a bit perfunctory, and he leaned over to look at Xuan Jue's computer screen, shaking his arm, "Brother, when do you get off work... Wait a minute? Brother, you play too This 'getaway', hurry up, which area are you in? I'll add you as a friend... Let me tell you that I trained a level 85 assassin, super handsome..."

Xuan Jue hurriedly stopped Wu Qinyang's hand touching the keyboard, and turned sideways to block the computer screen: "Hey Yangyang, I haven't studied it yet, I just downloaded it today, and I will go to you after I go home tonight and create an account Well, what district are you in?"

"Baiyun Cave, Wanfeng Mountain, District [-] of Telecom, what is Jietianjiao..." Wu Qinyang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Xuanjue's reaction, "Brother, what kind of profession are you going to play... Let me tell you, the martial value of a knight High, the healing value of the doctor is high, the assassin's flexibility is high, why don't you train a monk hahahahaha, Amitabha is so good... After adding friends, I will send you equipment, and then I will take you to single out famous families to upgrade ,how is everything?"

"Okay, I don't usually play games much." Seeing Wu Qinyang's beaming look, Xuan Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly closed the laptop when Wu Qinyang was unprepared.Are you kidding me? He just created a female snitch account and plans to hook up with Wu Qinyang in the game. It’s best to get acquainted and then have a good relationship for a hundred years (although Xuanjue thinks he doesn’t have this idea), if now It's okay if he sees it.Adhering to the belief that he and his younger brother can get along better only when they have a common language, Xuanjue accidentally downloaded an online game that Wu Qinyang often played. Of course, this was beyond Xuan Jue's consideration.

Wu Qinyang went to look at the crystal ball on his table again. The vast Antarctic continent was condensed into a small sphere, and a few miniature penguins dangled on the ice, with a naive attitude, and a few pieces of buoys The ice flutters slightly with the liquid enclosed in the crystal ball, which is very vivid.

Wu Qinyang said to Xuan Jue with some nostalgia: "Brother, you still keep it... I just went to high school at that time, right? It's my birthday, let's go to the aquarium... At that time, my uncle bought me a polar bear , my mother bought you another penguin...I couldn't find that one long ago, and my mother said that I don't care about things, alas...it looks pretty good now, it's a pity."

Xuan Jue said: "At worst, I'll buy you another one."

Wu Qinyang said: "Then there is no need to go to the aquarium another day, I have never been there."

Xuan Jue said: "It's not troublesome to go to the aquarium. If you want to go, I will take you there."

Wu Qinyang said: "Brother, you are really free... Why did uncle let you come to the company, and didn't let you work... My mother said that uncle became the chairman when he was 28 , you are already 26, why don't you ask your uncle for money to start a company by yourself? Then I don't have to look for small advertisements all over the street to find a part-time job... Opening a restaurant is very good. Why don't you discuss it with my mother? Don't let her stay at home all day, going out to be a chef can satisfy her vanity~"

Xuan Jue thought that your uncle and my father were more than 28 at the time, but he didn't emphasize this point. Wu Qinyang didn't need to know too much about the past. Although Qin Yao would tell Wu Qinyang those messy bedtime stories, There are more or less exaggerated artistic decorations, and it is even more impossible for Wu Qinyang to know something that Qin Yao doesn't know, because it is not important to Wu Qinyang.Xuan Jue could only shrug his shoulders: "Well...my dad doesn't worry about what you are worried about."

Wu Qinyang whistled, and said: "Actually, as rich as my uncle... Even if I don't do anything all day, I can live comfortably. My dad still has to earn money to support the family."

Although Wu Chunxing has a rich master and Qin Yao has a rich brother and Wu Qinyang has a rich uncle, but as a considerate and good husband, Wu Chunxing still insists on making money to support his family, and the annual salary of a senior engineer is at least a few dozen. Wan, Wu Chunxing is absolutely fine if he wants to start his own company. He hasn't put it into practice just because he doesn't want to have no time to spend with his wife and son. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, Wu Qinyang is a rich second generation—— My uncle’s house is also mine, so it’s probably okay to say that.

For this reason, Xuan Jue reconsidered whether it was really okay for him to be so idle, and later felt that it was more important to be able to play with Wu Qinyang.Glancing at his watch, he felt that it was almost time, so he packed up and went home to cook. Xuan Jue hadn’t been back to his apartment for a while, but he also hired a part-time worker to clean it regularly, but it’s impossible to have cooking materials in the refrigerator. You have to go to the supermarket first.

Wu Qinyang has no objection at all, and going to the supermarket means that he can look at the ingredients and order whatever he wants.Xuan Jue sent a text message to Qin Zhi, briefly explaining the current situation of "Qin Yao froze Wu Qinyang's bank card, so Wu Qinyang is now penniless and ready to eat and drink with him", and said that he would not do it tonight. go home.Qin Zhi didn't worry at all whether Qin Yao and Wu Qinyang's mother-child relationship would be broken. After so many years, he understood that his sister and his nephew were enemies, and they had a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for a week. Well, no matter how hard it is, they are still a close family. I can't help but sigh that my sister's childlike innocence is still there. In Wu Qinyang's game, Qin Yao's EQ is always on par with elementary school students. I'm going to tell the teacher"——I was very happy after thinking about it.

Xuan Jue not coming home just makes it easier for him to live with Director Xiao, who is always busy with everything. It is not known whether there will be some harmonious after-dinner sports.Over there, Xuan Jue drove back to his refurbished car and took Wu Qinyang to the supermarket. He bought some Chinese cabbage and prepared it for Wu Qinyang to make vegetarian siu mai. The egg, cucumber, and chicken breast were also brought back by the way, and Wu Qinyang went smoothly I took two packs of potato chips and spicy dried fish, prepared them for snacks after dinner, and then squeezed into the evening rush hour after work, and finally returned to Xuanjue's small apartment - of course this "little" is Compared with Qin Zhi's ridiculously large villa in the city center, the actual area is definitely not small, no matter what, it is tens of square meters.

Xuan Jue went to the kitchen to wash vegetables and cook. Wu Qinyang sat on the sofa and watched TV. After watching for a while, he felt that the city news was very boring. He dug out a few Blu-ray discs from the storage shelf under the TV cabinet and wiped them on the case. After that, he took out a cat and mouse and put it into the player. After watching it, he suddenly thought of Tan Yi, and he didn't know how he was doing now.

Tan Yi had a lot of classes this semester. Wu Qinyang finished the exam earlier than him, and went home after the exam. These days, the seniors in the school also went home one after another. Tan Yi is an exchange student at an American university. Since he grew up abroad, Wu Qinyang didn't know whether he would return to the United States or stay in China this winter vacation. If the latter didn't know if he had any relatives in China, since he remembered everything, he could just send a text message to Tan Yi. As soon as Xuan Jue sent it out, he called him over to have dinner.

Wu Qinyang pressed cat and mouse to pause. The siu mai on the table was mixed with the fragrance of buckwheat and Chinese cabbage. The soft and smooth steamed egg was dotted with a little chopped green onion. Made a seaweed egg drop soup.Wu Qinyang couldn't help moving his index finger, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are good at cooking~"

"Let's eat your meal." Xuan Jue turned around and brought him the chopsticks, "Wash your hands first."

Wu Qinyang went to wash his hands obediently, and the two brothers sat at the dinner table and started eating.Wu Qinyang stuffed a siu mai into his mouth, felt hot and almost spit it out again, Xuan Jue couldn't laugh or cry, told him not to burn his tongue, Wu Qinyang leaned back lazily, and Picking up the diced chicken on the plate with chopsticks, he said to Xuan Jue after a while: "Brother, how old is the twelfth lunar month today?"

"It's the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month." Xuan Jue glanced at the calendar behind him, "The Chinese New Year is less than half a month away."

"Ah..." Wu Qinyang sighed, "I didn't drink the Laba porridge made by my uncle this year... It's all because I couldn't go home on the second day of the exam. I don't know if the results haven't come out yet. What about failing the exam..."

Xuan Jue smiled and said, "What subject did you pass? I heard that you came out in half an hour when you took the high math test? Many people thought you were giving up the test, right?"

Wu Qinyang said: "My dad raised me since I was a child, and I didn't listen to high math classes... I'm not sure about a question about mathematical analysis, and what kind of ideological and moral cultivation and legal foundation, I'm not sure which A is given. The watermelon was poisoned, B took the watermelon and gave it to C to eat, and then C was poisoned to death... Is B responsible? Oh, the teacher said that B didn't know..."

Xuan Jue felt that this question was very profound, so he could only try to guess: "I don't think so, B doesn't know about it after all..."

Wu Qinyang scratched his hair and said, "I also think so. Those who don't know are innocent, but some people say that B is manslaughter? All in all, the background of this question is quite complicated. A and B are still a family. ... By the way, is uncle busy recently? If not, I still want to eat Laba porridge..."

Xuan Jue said: "My father should be quite free recently. He is usually busy at the end of the year. He didn't seem to go to the company two days ago. Maybe he went to the bureau. My mother said that he would settle those disputes before the New Year. Small cases and the like have been dealt with, and Uncle Qiao and the others are working overtime."

Wu Qinyang said: "Auntie is really busy... By the way, Auntie's shoulders are fine, and the weather is not so good recently, it's quite cold."

When Xiao Yunhe was in the Yan family village, he was stabbed through the shoulder bone by a steel nail designed by Yan Huisheng. Although Qin Zhi tried to remedy it later, he also mercilessly shot Yan Huisheng's shoulders as a gift in return. After all, it fell, and there will always be a dull pain every time it is rainy, but Xiao Yunhe is also used to it.Wu Qinyang didn't know the cause and effect of this, but he also knew that his aunt had an old injury on her shoulder, just like Shen Heng's arthritis, it was an old problem.

Xuan Jue hated Yan Huisheng and Ye Rui for this. It was very sad for him not to be able to protect Xiao Yunhe, but because Yan Huisheng was Xiao Yunhe's half-brother, Feng Hezhou was their biological father. If this point is broken, it means that Qin Zhi can no longer kill Yan Huisheng. God knows how much Xuanjue wanted to tear Yan Huisheng to pieces. He thought it would dirty his spleen and stomach after eating it. He didn't do that, just Because he would never disobey Qin Zhi's will.

Xuan Jue sighed, thinking of these past events, he felt a little depressed: "It's okay, this winter is not that cold, my dad is also concerned...it's not a big problem."

Wu Qinyang also sighed, seeing that Xuan Jue was not very happy, and comforted him: "It's fine, brother, don't worry too much." Then he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, brother, can you Ask my aunt to help me ask Uncle Yin if he has the time to teach me some self-defense skills... Taekwondo over-the-shoulder throws and the like..."

Xuan Jue was taken aback, and asked, "Why did you think of learning this?"

Wu Qinyang said: "I can't be powerless..." What I was thinking in my heart was huh huh, since that Xiang Dan can be Uncle Yin's apprentice, why can't I be, and said casually, "Learn I can protect you..."

Xuan Jue laughed, and didn't want to discuss with Wu Qinyang whether he needed his protection or not, so he just said, "I'll ask you another day." As he spoke, he put a siu mai in a bowl for Wu Qinyang, and thought of Qin Yang again. Zhi seems to have a travel plan after the Chinese New Year, Xuan Jue now feels that Xiao Yunhe is not the director of the bureau, it is not necessarily a good thing to have money and power but no time.

The two finished their meal while chatting like this. After the meal, Xuan Jue went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Wu Qinyang unpacked the bag of potato chips and continued to watch cat and mouse.The light on the phone flashed, and Tan Yi sent back a text message - "The exam is over. I have a friend who will accompany me to celebrate the Chinese New Year in China. Thank you for your concern~"

Just as Wu Qinyang replied, "That's good ~ happy winter vacation!", Zhu Mingyue's call came in. Wu Qinyang pressed the answer button, exhaled softly, and said, "Squad leader?"

Zhu Mingyue said: "Wu Qinyang? I just asked my cousin about the part-time job, and he said yes, are you going?"

Wu Qinyang said: "Of course I will go, thank you, monitor first!"

Zhu Mingyue said: "Then write down the address..." After waiting for a while, he reported a series of addresses, "My cousin's business will be open until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, there are about ten days left, the time should be nine o'clock in the morning every day It’s nine o’clock in the evening. Of course, if you’re not busy, it doesn’t matter if you come late or leave early. My cousin won’t mind. My cousin means ten yuan an hour... If you think it’s inappropriate, I’ll talk to him again, After all, being a tutor now can cost hundreds of dollars an hour.”

Wu Qinyang calculated it based on twelve hours a day, one hundred and two a day, ten days is one thousand two, this price is not low for the traffic of private restaurants.In fact, he wasn't aiming at making money. After all, no matter how hard he worked for a month, he couldn't earn more than his father and uncle moving his fingers for a second. The main reason was to get angry with Qin Yao.

So I happily made a deal with Zhu Mingyue, prepared to report on time the next morning, and started a part-time job life that I had never experienced before.

Xuan Jue was very happy to see Wu Qinyang when he came back from washing the dishes, and he said to himself with a smile: "Brother, I'm going to make money by myself tomorrow!"

Wu Qinyang always thought that all chefs were round, chubby and friendly uncles with red faces. It wasn't until he met Zhu Mingyue's cousin that he changed his deep-rooted idea a little bit.It's not that Zhu Mingyue's uncle doesn't look like a chef, the tall chef's hat and the white chef's uniform are the same, but he looks very thin, unsmiling, very serious, and like Zhu Mingyue. As Mingyue said, her cousin is indeed a bit strange.

Wu Qinyang thought you said he hired himself to do the work, but he had a very leisurely day, from 26:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, the back kitchen helped wash some lettuce and peeled two potatoes, Staring at the steamer for three times, decorated six plates with some kind of radish and coriander flowers commonly known as Xinmei, cleaned a total of [-] plates and seven sets of utensils from the previous three tables of diners, and then did nothing about myself Now, squatting aside and watching the uncle cook more time than doing serious work, Wu Qinyang felt very panic because of this.

It is said that Zhu Mingyue's uncle used to be the chief chef of a well-known western restaurant. He started from scratch with like-minded friends and worked hard to run it. Later, because of an accident at the manager's house, he needed money urgently and had to If the restaurant is not transferred to another person, the new person who takes over the restaurant has a messy business philosophy. The management is not good and the capital turnover is not open, and finally it closed down.Zhu Mingyue's cousin was depressed for a long time because of this, but Zhu Mingyue's father suggested that you open a private restaurant, and Zhu Mingyue's uncle regained his spirits.

Zhu Mingyue's cousin is called Zhu Tianzhang, and I have to say that he really likes cooking.Wu Qinyang spent a whole day with him, and was almost shocked by his attitude of cooking as if he were carving a work of art.For example, how to combine the knife skills of cutting chicken wings and the sauce of marinating chicken wings to achieve the most wonderful taste, how to brush lamb chops with several layers of butter and how to fry them to achieve the ultimate peak of crispy outside and tender inside, mashed potato salad It takes a few minutes to steam the potatoes in the pot to get the purest fragrance of mashed potatoes. What surprised Wu Qinyang the most is that he even made the salad dressing by himself. It is absolutely true that this is the only restaurant with no other branches. The taste makes Wu Qinyang, a little ancestor who has been fed up with delicious food since childhood, can't help but give a thumbs up. Mom was instantly turned into a scumbag by the uncle in front of her.

Wu Qinyang happily followed Zhu Tianzhang to observe his superb cooking skills, thinking in his heart whether he should tell his uncle to let him help the uncle in front of him to open a serious western restaurant, or he would stay all day at [-] It's too talented to come to a small private restaurant with a square meter and a full table that can seat up to twenty people at three tables, but we have to ask Zhu Tianzhang what he means first.

Except for the principal, probably no one in the school knows about him, and his identity as a rich second generation should still be quite secretive. Wu Qinyang wonders if Zhu Tianzhang will accept this kind of funding from others, but anyway, the lazy Wu Xiao The students still don't want such a top chef to be buried in a unit in a residential building in obscurity, otherwise it would be a pity.

Those who come to Zhu Tianzhang’s private restaurant are usually old customers who followed from the western restaurant, and there are also foodies who search for food everywhere in the city. They are committed to promoting top-level food hidden in the corners of the city. on the list.However, because the uncle chef uses real ingredients and the price is very high, it’s not unreasonable to be discouraged, but he doesn’t come here every day to cook home-cooked dishes. Occasionally, Zhu Tianzhang doesn’t have to cook in a day when he is free, and he has three meals a day. Fried rice mixed with cucumber was like an ascetic, which made Wu Qinyang feel that if he had met him two years earlier, he could have written it in his college entrance examination composition as a real-life material for the central idea of ​​"working hard for the dream".

However, Zhu Tianzhang is not idle tonight. There are two tables of guests, one table is three young girls chatting with each other, and the other table is a lady in her early 40s with her. year old handsome boyfriend.Wu Qinyang couldn't stand the creamy smell of the oily face on the little boyfriend's body, and felt that he was not as good-looking as his own father and uncles and aunts who were already considered middle-aged, let alone Xuan Jue, who was about the same age as him. It is estimated that compared with himself, he can be thrown away by a large amount.In the dining area, there are three young girls bursting into earth-shattering laughter from time to time, and there is a pair of old grass tender cows there, Wu Qinyang is very impressed that Zhu Tianzhang can still sit on the Diaoyutai in this environment, He focused on his own culinary career and remained unmoved.

Apart from washing vegetables and arranging radish flowers in pots, Wu Qinyang's most valuable task is to be in charge of ordering and serving dishes and getting change at checkout.The three girls here should be good girlfriends. In two days, one of them will enter the palace of marriage and completely leave the singles. This time, they are here to spend their last bachelor party.The little boyfriend over there took one bite at a time, "Sister Liu, this is delicious, come and taste it, ah~", it was so sticky that Wu Qin, who was serving the food, had goosebumps all over his body, thinking that he might not know which restaurant it was from. There is a fire in the backyard. When you go back, you can ask your uncle if there is any wife named Liu. It’s not too much to watch.

Chef Zhu Tianzhang pays attention to making and selling dishes on the spot, and waits for Wu Qinyang to bring in the customer's order from the front before starting to cook. He never prepares a few dishes in advance and says sorry that this one is not available today. Can you see if this works? Save yourself trouble.The last bachelor party ordered grilled wings with red wine steak sauce, garlic French baked snails and signature mashed potatoes, and there was an additional bacon lettuce spaghetti and a foie gras for young and old.After Wu Qinyang left, the lady's eyes followed him and ran, and when the boy friend saw it, the grilled chicken wings with the bones removed were delivered to the former's mouth immediately, and the latter smiled coquettishly and said: " Sister Liu, what are you looking at?"

Wu Qinyang was shocked by the hesitant tone, and the three girls over there also lowered their voices and giggled.

The beef marinated in red wine exudes an intoxicating aroma, and the chicken wings are slowly cooked in the oven, and then brushed with a layer of milky white sauce by Zhu Tianzhang and continue to bake until they emit an attractive sweetness.The two-finger-wide slices of toast have a rich milky aroma, which is a perfect match with the snails baked with minced garlic, and the signature mashed potatoes are topped with a secret salad dressing to bring a slightly sour but appetizing taste .Wu Qinyang endured for a long time while arranging radish flowers before reaching out to eat on other people's plates, and Zhu Tianzhang was frying pasta with cheese and bacon in a pan again.

From this, Wu Qinyang felt that people who work in the catering industry must have extraordinary self-control. He brought dishes to the three girls at the bachelor party one by one. Living in Wu Qinyang, he snorted coldly: "Why is the food we ordered not served yet?"

Wu Qinyang could only explain conscientiously: "I'm sorry sir, there is only one chef, please wait patiently, please?"

The little boyfriend was still not very happy, but the lady waved her hands generously, looked at Wu Qinyang from head to toe with a smile, and said in a tone that she thought was "kind and friendly": "Don't worry. , Let the chef do it slowly, your dishes here are delicious, I don't mind waiting a little longer."

Wu Qinyang replied "Thank you", picked up the tray and ran away.

What a joke! This tone of obvious conspiracy—Wu Qin slandered, and he had to bite the bullet and serve these two people soon, and because Zhu Tianzhang closed on time every day until nine o'clock in the evening, he had to Remind the diners to pay attention to the meal time in a nice way, even though they have already said it before ordering.The final checkout was also very simple. Wu Qinyang counted the money and reported it, and then went to the counter to get the change back. However, the lady found another way, and took out five pink Grandpa Mao and said that there is no need to look for it. The little boyfriend laughed. Without smiling, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the lady's sweat. The lady's gaze was fixed on Wu Qinyang's face, and she smiled lightly, "You don't need to look for it, it's my sister's tip."

Wu Qinyang: "..." Roaring inwardly, who the hell are you, sister? Are you older than my mother? A total of 430. The tip you gave to 62 shows that you are rich?Is it interesting that I am working part-time for someone?In the end, Zhu Tianzhang came out to replace Wu Qinyang and gave 62 yuan to the nouveau riche.The noble lady walked away reluctantly holding her little boyfriend's hand, and Wu Qinyang forcefully stuffed her into his hand with a low-quality small business card with a name and phone number printed on it and threw it into the trash can— —You are out to sell as a young master, do you buy it? Can you afford it?uh-huh.

After washing the dishes with Zhu Tianzhang and tidying up the tableware, the door closes on time at nine o'clock, the task is completed, and I go home from get off work.Wu Qinyang opened the car door three steps at a time and sat in the co-pilot, smiled and stuffed the pastry egg roll that Zhu Tianzhang gave him into Xuan Jue's mouth, and asked, "Brother, how long have you been waiting?"

Xuan Jue chewed on the egg roll, and replied inarticulately: "Not long." Seeing Wu Qinyang stuffing one into his own mouth.

The small driver's seat was filled with a faint fragrance of milk and eggs. Wu Qinyang leaned his head on the back of the seat and let out a contented sigh, lazily like a kitten that had had enough to eat and drink.

Xuan Jue asked with a smile, "How about part-time work?"

Wu Qinyang said: "It's okay. Her cousin, the squad leader, is nice. She doesn't like to talk too much, but it's not that difficult to get along with. I don't do much work either. I help wash dishes, watch a pot and install a dish brush." I also come to clean the dishes, order and serve dishes, and change money, but there are less than ten tables of guests in one day, so it’s not very tiring.”

Xuan Jue said: "Sounds good."

Wu Qinyang said: "That's right, and the class monitor's cousin's cooking is super delicious. The egg rolls just now are delicious, right? I think it's too talented. Do you want to tell your uncle to let him invest in the class monitor's cousin to open a restaurant?" A bigger restaurant... But I'm afraid I'm being too sentimental, brother, you can pretend you don't know me with your uncle and aunt and come over to eat once, it's really delicious!"

Xuan Jue said: "You've boasted so much, so of course I'm going to come again, do you want to call my aunt and uncle together?"

Wu Qinyang said: "It's better to say goodbye, my mother's self-esteem will be frustrated...By the way, let me tell you, I met a...uh, a woman in her 40s and a boy in his 20s My friend, you gave me a business card at the end..." Wu Qinyang talked about the various guests he met today, and the two of them went home talking and laughing all the way.

Of course, if Wu Qinyang's part-time job career is so smooth, it can't be called a story.The incident happened early the next morning, at nine o'clock, Wu Qinyang reported to Zhu Tianzhang on time, but saw Zhu Tianzhang standing in front of the refrigerator door with a stunned expression, his lips were pale and his hands were trembling, his face could be said to be extremely ugly.Wu Qinyang didn't know why, so he leaned over to take a look, and was also dumbfounded. A refrigerator full of ingredients had disappeared at some point, and there was not even a scum left.Wu Qinyang's first thought was that someone had broken into the house, so he hurriedly went to the counter to see if the money in the cash box was still there, but it was strange that there was no money left, but all the food in the refrigerator was gone.
