The courtyard behind the Manhan Building has been cleaned up, and several rooms have been beautifully renovated. The yard that was originally overgrown with weeds has also been cleaned up. It is still winter now, and Ye Chui will plant some vegetables and some flowers in the yard in the spring. The big locust tree in the yard has also been left there for an autumn according to Wang Shiyu's request, but the swing cannot be used for the time being in the winter.
An Jing and Wang Shiyu put their things in their room. They were very satisfied with the room. It was more spacious than before and the decoration was very exquisite. It was warm and comfortable.
After Ye Chui helped An Jing pack her things, he saw his sister sitting on the soft bed, looking up at the whole room. The expression on her face was a little strange, as if she had some vague feelings. Seeing this, Ye Chui walked over, patted her shoulder, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
"Brother, I feel like I'm dreaming." An Jing smiled at Ye Chui, "A year ago we lived in a small, cramped rental house, then we moved into a small building and had a small restaurant, now we've opened such a big restaurant, and we live in such a nice house, it all feels like a dream, it's too unreal."
"Silly sister, brother will only make your and Xiaoyu's lives better and better in the future. What's unreal about it?" Ye Chui sat down next to An Jing and gently hugged her slender shoulders.
An Jing also leaned on Ye Chui. For an orphan like her, family affection was precious, but she was lucky to have met a brother like Ye Chui. Staying by her brother's side, she would feel indescribable warmth even in the coldest winter.
An Jing's face was filled with a happy smile, but suddenly her petite body trembled, and one hand quietly placed on her chest - she thought of the butterfly tattoo on her chest...
"Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiao seem to get along very well. They have countless things to talk about when they meet. However, Xiaoyu just took a plane from Xizhou to Yanjing, and she has been running around and sweating a lot. Don't let her catch a cold. Help her run a hot bath later. I'll go call her now." Thinking of this important matter, Ye Chui stood up from Anjing's side, rubbed Anjing's head lovingly, and then walked out of the room.
The snow was still falling, and the small courtyard outside was already covered with a layer of white snow crystals. Wang Shiyu and An Xiaoxiao were squatting on the steps leading to the backyard from the hotel building, looking at the small courtyard covered in white, and discussing something with a smile.
"Little sister, let me tell you, next time I will take you to Xizhou City to introduce my little monkey to you. It is very obedient. Every time I go to Taofeng Mountain, as long as I take out the multi-flavored beans that it likes to eat, it will immediately come out to find me..." Wang Shiyu said to An Xiaoxiao with a proud look on her face.
"Okay, okay." An Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly.
Ye Chui walked over and pulled Wang Shiyu up: "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold sitting on the steps in the middle of winter? You've just been sweating. Go take a hot bath. There's a bathroom in your room."
"Oh." Wang Shiyu nodded gloomily and walked into the room.
Ye Chui looked at An Xiaoxiao again: "Xiaoxiao, let me tell you about studying..."
"Master, I just sweated a lot, it's time to take a shower." An Xiaoxiao immediately jumped up and caught up with Wang Shiyu, "Xiaoyu, I'll take a shower with you."
Ye Chui: “…”
Watching An Xiaoxiao and Wang Shiyu return to the room, Ye Chui smiled and shook his head, then walked to the hotel building and went straight into the kitchen.
After Tian Xiaodu arrived, the chef team of Manhan Building was officially assembled. Everyone had already known about Ye Chui's plan to divide the kitchen into three parts. The five-star chef and three four-star chefs assigned to Tian Xiaodu also met Tian Xiaodu formally at this time. Tian Xiaodu was a fat man, and at first glance he gave people the impression that he was amiable and easy to talk to. However, it would be a big mistake to think that Tian Xiaodu was an easy-to-talk to person - among the three six-star chefs, Dong Qian and Qin Yiyue had never worked as chefs in a large hotel. Only Tian Xiaodu had long-term experience as a chef. Although he had been with Ye Chui for the past six months, when the time really came, he was still quite majestic in his words and deeds.
When Ye Chui entered the kitchen, he saw Tian Xiaodu giving a lecture to his four chefs: "… Being a kitchen helper under me doesn't require much, but it's best not to make mistakes, otherwise I won't be polite to you. I hope you all remember this! Got it?"
The four chefs nodded hurriedly and agreed, "Got it."
"Louder!" Tian Xiaodu shouted with full energy.
"Got it!" the four chefs shouted quickly.
Han Yuyan and Dong Youyou were standing at the entrance of the hotel. They were stunned when they saw Tian Xiaodu's imposing look.
"When did this fat guy become so imposing?" Dong Youyou opened her eyes wide, as if she met Tian Xiaodu for the first time.
Han Yuyan was also shocked: "I didn't expect that the senior brother has such a domineering side."
"Tsk tsk, you really can't judge a person by his appearance." Dong Youyou nodded.
"After all, Xiao Du was the head chef of Wan Lai Fu back then, so this bit of momentum is certainly not a problem." Ye Chui interrupted. At that time, a bunch of chefs at Wan Lai Fu would be scolded by Tian Xiao Du at any time.
"It's still a bit eye-opening." Dong Youyou continued with a bit of shock, "I heard Sister Yuyan say that when they were in Hainan, she thought my sister was interested in him and was even hesitating whether to cheat or not... I originally thought this fat guy was easy to bully."
Ye Chui suddenly began to sweat. Tian Xiaodu would never mention the experience in Hainan. He thought he was so charming that he had endured the temptation of beautiful women for half a month, but in the end he found out that it was just a misunderstanding. Ye Chui and Han Yuyan felt a little funny when they mentioned this.
Then Ye Chui thought of the tigress in Tian Xiaodu's family, looked around and asked, "Where is Sister Du?"
"She went back. Some time ago, Senior Brother bought a house with her in Yanjing, and now they are busy with the decoration." Han Yuyan explained.
"Is that so? Dayu, please help Sister Du with this matter. If you need money, tell me. It's not easy for Xiao Du to ask me about this, but as her master, I can't turn a blind eye to it." Ye Chui said with a smile.
"Don't worry about this, Master. Senior Brother is not short of money. I just found out some time ago that my sister-in-law's family is quite rich, otherwise they wouldn't be able to buy a house in Yanjing so easily." Han Yuyan said with a smile, "And if you are short of money, I can help you. I am worried about how to spend the money now."
"… "
After hearing these words, Ye Chui and Dong Youyou were both speechless. The way a tycoon with a net worth of tens of billions speaks is not ordinary.
Tian Xiaodu's first contact with the chef went smoothly. After confirming that there was nothing to do in the hotel for the time being, Ye Chui prepared a few snacks made by himself in the hotel and prepared to pick up Lin Wei. He found out Lin Zhengdao's residence in Yanjing from Han Yuyan, so he took a taxi and left.
Sitting in the taxi, Ye Chui couldn't help wondering whether he should prepare a car. Yu Yan was his bodyguard and driver now. It was not appropriate for him to have a driver but no car. In the afternoon, Yu Yan rented a car to pick people up at the airport... However, he was the owner of the Manhanlou Hotel, and it was obviously inappropriate for him to drive an ordinary car with this status. Unfortunately, although the hotel building and decoration were paid for by Lin Zhengdao and Han Lao in the early stage of the hotel, he paid for the staff salaries and food supplies by himself. He had spent most of his savings in the past six months, and he would have to wait until the hotel opened to buy a car.
Of course, if Ye Chui really needed a car, neither Lin Zhengdao nor Old Han would mind preparing one for him, but Ye Chui was embarrassed to continue to trouble them. In essence, Ye Chui did not like the feeling of relying on others.
Although Lin Zhengdao left Yanjing, he still had several properties in Yanjing, which he could use for vacation in the future. According to Han Yuyan's address, Ye Chui came to a residential area in the city center, walked all the way to the Lin family's door and knocked on it.
Before moving to Xizhou, Lin Zhengdao, Wu Haimei and Lin Wei lived here for seven or eight years. This was Lin Wei's real home. After waiting for a while, the door opened and Lin Wei appeared at the door. Seeing Ye Chui, Lin Wei could not hide the joy on her face, but soon she showed a hint of worry and squeezed Yan Jing towards Ye Chui.
"What's wrong?" Ye Cui was a little surprised.
"Weiwei, who is it?" Wu Haimei's voice came from the room.
"Aunt, it's me." Ye Chui responded with a smile. Both Wu Haimei and Lin Zhengdao had a good impression of Ye Chui. Even the difficult old lady of the Lin family was now a fan of Ye Chui's food, so Ye Chui did not consider himself an outsider. While speaking, he turned sideways and walked into the room.
As a result, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Wu Haimei walking towards him with an angry face: "You have the nerve to come here, you little brat! I was just about to come over and settle the score with you!"
"Huh?" Ye Chui was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "Aunt, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Wu Haimei walked up to Ye Chui. This noble lady who was as skinny as a skeleton half a year ago now looked plump... or a little fat. She stood in front of Ye Chui with her hands on her hips, looking like a shrew. "I arrived in Yanjing today and suddenly remembered that you and Weiwei lived in the small house where Zhengdao and I used to live. There was only one bedroom in it. Tell me, did you do anything to Weiwei at that time?"
"Forehead… "
Ye Chui looked at Lin Wei innocently, and Lin Wei's expression was even more innocent than his. Everything was fine today. After arriving in Yanjing, Wu Haimei suddenly decided to go to her previous residence. As a result, she realized that the house was very small, with only one bedroom. Ye Chui and Lin Wei lived in it for more than a week...
Could something have happened between these two people? (~^~)
