stove king not working

The twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month is here in a blink of an eye. On this day, everyone in the family restaurant woke up early. Feng Suisui pushed the ingredients in a small cart, He Chen hugged the cat, and Si Buhui led He Chen. The crowd headed for the Huaicheng Sanatorium in the south of the city.

Dean Chang waited at the gate of the nursing home early, and when he saw people coming, he warmly greeted them to go in, and said to He Chen as he walked, "Everyone misses you very much, you haven't come to visit for several months."

In the past, when He Chen was not busy, He Chen would come to the nursing home every now and then to accompany the elderly to make dumplings, knead buns, and make some small snacks that everyone could do. Since Si Buhui came, life has become much more exciting. Miscellaneous things, even the restaurants are open, let alone come to the nursing home to spend quality time with the elderly.

He Chen felt embarrassed, and promised with a blushing face, "I will definitely come here often in the future."

A few people chatted and came to the back kitchen of the canteen of the nursing home. Originally, there were three aunts who cooked in the back kitchen. Today, in order to make room for He Chen, Dean Chang gave all three of them a vacation, so now there is no one. The kitchen looked a little deserted.

Feng Suisui pushed the ingredients into the kitchen, and Corgi jumped out of He Chen's arms at once, found a comfortable seat on the cooking table to avoid oil and smoke, and huddled together, looking at it like a little supervisor other people's actions.

He Chen rolled up his sleeves and directed Si Buhui to deal with the most important ingredients first, "You deal with the fish." Si Buhui took out a fish that was still alive and kicking from the second bag of the trolley as he said. After cleaning his hands, he took a medium-sized kitchen knife from the wall where the knives were placed, and handled the fish neatly.

"Young man, the knife skills are very good." Dean Chang watched from the side, full of praise for Si Buhui's knife skills, "No wonder Chen'er, who is so picky about cooking skills, fell in love with you."

He Chen laughed from the side, and said unceremoniously, "Old Chang, you guessed wrong this time, when he first came here he didn't know how to do any housework, and he had to help me even put on a quilt cover." .”

"Oh, there is such a thing." Dean Chang showed a surprised expression, but soon said cheerfully, "He doesn't know anything, and you are still with him without hesitation, which means that you two Feeling good."

No, it wasn't really because of good feelings at the beginning.He Chen's rebuttal was already on his lips, but recalling the scenes where Si Buhui moved clumsily and still wanted to take care of himself, he still decided not to refute.

"Thank you, Mr. Chang." Si Buhui was not polite, and politely thanked Dean Chang, accepting his praise.

Dean Chang didn't stay in the kitchen for long before he was called out by a nurse.The remaining three continued to prepare for the noon reunion sacrificial banquet in full swing in the kitchen. He Chen was in charge of cooking the spoon, while the other two were helping.

After He Chen finished frying a dish, he put it on a plate and took it out. Feng Suisui immediately stepped forward to take over, put the dish on the bottom of the food box, and waited until the dish was almost ready. He took the food box and went directly to the big round table to place the plate.Seeing that Feng Suisui was busy like a little bee, He Chen quietly approached Si Buhui and said to him, "Xiao Sui seems to have really changed a lot."

If it is said that Feng Suisui a few months ago still had an indelible hostility towards human beings in his eyes, then after these months of accumulation, he has been transformed into a positive and good monster, who is as good as ordinary monsters. Fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys are no different. Although there are some minor problems and tempers, generally speaking, he is a good boy who is gentle and considerate of others.

Si Buhui didn't answer directly, but stared deeply at He Chen with eager eyes, "My lady, what about me?"

If this kind of gaze can be materialized, He Chen feels that there must be a frantically wagging tail behind Si Buhui.What kind of cutie is Si Buhui who would take the initiative to ask for praise because he didn't praise him? With a look in his eyes, he stammered praise and said, "You, you have changed quite a lot" no matter how you look at it.

"Hey, you guys stop, stop," Ke Ji woke up, looked up and saw He Chen and Si Buhui looking at each other affectionately, and patted his paw on the cooking table unceremoniously to remind They said, "I'll talk about love when I go home, cooking is more important."

The two people who were staring at each other quickly looked away, blushed and lowered their eyes, and continued to do the work at hand.

Because the ingredients were fully prepared, Si Buhui and Feng Suisui moved quickly. Within two hours, all the dishes for the reunion banquet were ready. He Chen glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, and the time was right at noon. It's time to eat.

Feng Suisui went out first with the heavy and large food box, while He Chen and Si Buhui divided the work to tidy up the back kitchen. The kitchen, which was originally a little messy due to work, was quickly restored to cleanliness under the care of the two. .

The other table was basically a sacrificial banquet with cold cuts. He Chen also packed the dishes in a food box. After tidying up the back kitchen, he personally carried the food box and went out. He didn't live together with the old people like Feng Suisui. I went to the east building instead of the west building.

"Miss, don't go there." Before he got close to the west building, Si Buhui reached out his hand to stop He Chen, and said to him seriously, "That building is very evil, I'm afraid it will be a little dangerous."

He Chen touched the jade pendant that was slightly hot, and was a little surprised that there would be monsters in this building, "Isn't it? I send sacrificial banquets to this building every year, but I have never met anyone before."

"Who originally lived in this building and why is it now vacant?" Si Buhui asked He Chen.

He Chen thought for a while, and replied, "As far as I can remember, I remember that this building seems to have been hard to see people. When I asked Grandpa, Grandpa said that the old friends who lived here were very shy, so they didn't want to see them." People. But at that time, I could still hear some voices in the building, and then it gradually disappeared. When I came here in recent years, there was nothing.”

Si Buhui frowned. This building has a strong evil spirit, and it doesn't look like a climate that can be formed within a year. It is initially estimated that it will take at least 20 years.In the past 20 years, He Chen has entered and exited more than a hundred times, and has never encountered any danger. Could it be that these monsters have no bad intentions towards He Chen?

Even though he thought so, Si Buhui still didn't dare to take it lightly, he stretched out his hand to grab He Chen's hand that wasn't holding the food box, and shielded him behind him, "Lady, follow me, don't act without authorization. "

He Chen was also a little nervous by Si Buhui's expression, he swallowed his saliva and replied, "Okay."

The two walked towards the west building vigilantly, the closer they got, the hotter He Chen felt the temperature in his chest.Judging from the experience of seeing monsters a few times before, this jade pendant has never been missed. Obviously, there is a huge problem with this building.

Finally entered the building, He Chen saw a big mahogany round table in the center of the first floor as in previous years, with a circle of chairs around the table, He Chen carefully counted the number of chairs, and said in surprise, "It's missing." a handful"

"What?" He Chen spoke in a very soft voice, even though Si Buhui was standing very close, he couldn't hear clearly, so he asked again.

He Chen raised his head, and explained to Si Buhui in a low voice, "There are one less chairs beside the round table than last year."

"How do you know?" Si Buhui raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Do you count the number of stools every year when you come here?"

He Chen nodded, "It's boring when arranging the plates, so I count them every year. At that time, my grandfather had twenty, and then gradually reduced to eighteen. When I came back three years ago, I had fifteen. There are only fourteen left."

What's the situation? Could it be that the number of invisible guests is gradually decreasing? He Chen's eyes quickly swept across those chairs, but he still couldn't find any clues.

Si Buhui leaned over and drew a talisman on one of the chairs. The talisman paper stuck to the back of the chair suddenly ignited a cluster of faint blue flames. The flame looked fierce, but it was only burning on the talisman paper. , without harming the chair itself.After the entire talisman paper was burned out, He Chen waited quietly for a while, but nothing happened.

"No regrets, what's the use of burning that talisman?" He Chen couldn't help but asked Si Buhui who was doing the same thing on another chair, "Why didn't anything happen after burning it?"

Si Buhui burned all fourteen chairs one by one, stood up and said, "Appearance character, some things in this building are artificially hidden, as long as they touch this chair, they will definitely reappear." Come."

He Chen was curious, "How do you know something is hidden?"

Si Buhui pointed to the ink painting next to the gate that said "There are fish every year" "There is a magic spell on the picture, as long as the person who sees the picture can only see what the person who drew the picture wanted him to see .” He paused, then said, “I just found out too.”

No wonder I can’t see anything when I come here every year. This painting has been hanging in the house for many years. Every time He Chen comes here, he will habitually turn his head to see if the carp on the picture has changed color. However, more than 20 years have passed. This painting is still as bright as it was just hung up, and it has a magical power that makes people can't help but look at it again and again.

Not long after the two of them finished setting the dishes, the nurse sent by Dean Chang came to urge the two of them to go to the banquet.So the two had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of ​​continuing to explore the west building, and followed the nurse back to the east building.

In the center of the first floor of the east building, there is a big mahogany round table like the west building. However, unlike the west building, this big mahogany round table is full of old people.Dean Chang was sitting on the main seat, seeing He Chen and Si Buhui coming in, he hurriedly and enthusiastically invited them to sit beside him.

He Chen greeted the old people familiarly, and pulled Si Buhui to sit on the seat.

Finally, the banquet is about to begin.
