The Ghost Chef

Chapter 254: Before the final

Views:

The final is finally going to be tomorrow. Although I have never worried about entering the final, I am very happy when it turns out to be a reality. I have never won a prize in the competition since I was a child, whether it is official or private, according to my mother. Said that the only time I took a place was to see who peeed and peeed far with my friends. I was commendably ranked third-but my dad added the following sentence: "I remember that time, but the boy you were playing at that time seemed like There are only two!"

It can be said that entering the finals this time is of great significance to me. It not only fills the void in my life that I have never won an award, but also declares to the world that my life has opened a new chapter!

Under this circumstance, Ren Xiaoyan resolutely prevented my suggestion to go to the three restaurants, for fear that I would be happy to exempt the customer order. Therefore, when everyone was working in full swing, I stayed at home blowing air-conditioning and drinking beer, watching Twenty-two grandsons worth over 10 million on TV chased a ball to make me happy...

Just as I was watching Ronaldo dribbling the ball and trying to shoot, the door was suddenly knocked on the door. I ignored him. You should understand this. As long as a man involves this shot, no matter he shoots. Nothing is distracted, let alone knocking on the door, even if the earthquake and fire have waited for a few seconds to speak-but outside the door, I shouted: "Why, I know you are inside. If you don't open me, I will go to Xiaoyan. …"

I watched Ronaldo kick the ball into the face of the goalkeeper. After I really had no chance to make a shot into the net, I got up anxiously and opened the door. The moment I caught the stopper, a thought came to my mind: "Huh, this voice It sounds so familiar, is it..."

Then the door opened, and the old man took Ren Boss and Ren Xiaonan filed in, greeted me with a smile, and then I reacted from the knock at the door just now: "It's broken, Ren family ancestor and grandson came to look for Xiaoyan on his back. I won't hold back anything bad, right?"

As the saying goes, it is born from the heart. When I think about it, my face shows it. The three Ren family are not vegetarians. I immediately realized my worries. The boss immediately said: "Don't be nervous, let's look for it today. You Xiaoyan knows, it's definitely not the fault!"

"Then you can't talk about the bride price, right?" I asked the three of you to sit down and put a few bottles of drinks from the refrigerator on the table, and then I sat across from him and said sincerely, "I can't tell you about this. No matter what, I have to take Xiaoyan home to recognize the door first, and then let my dad and my mom talk to you-this business is too bad for me to talk about it myself!"

The three people were dumb, and Ren Xiaonan expressed dissatisfaction for the first time: "Who asked you to talk about marriage?"

I was taken aback for a moment: "Then what else can we talk about?" I thought about it, and then tentatively said: "Could it be that you finally realize that you can't control this matter between me and Xiaoyan, so you are ready to walk around," To avoid difficulties for the latter two families?"

Elder Ren picked up the bottle of mineral water and prepared to twist it, touched the temperature and put it on the table again, and asked me, "Is there no tea here? It would be much better than your frozen mineral water without hot water!"

I took out the phone and sent a message to ask Xiao Zuanfeng to bring tea up. At this time, the boss coughed and said: "Actually, we are here today. You are right. We are indeed here to promote the relationship, Xiaoyan. We don’t care about you..."

"It should be that you can't control it if you want to?" The old man heard her father say that there was nothing rigid, and simply interrupted: "The truth is that we have agreed to my Xiaoyan and you, and you can now communicate openly. Yes, we will never interfere."

I was so happy to say: "Oh, thank you so much!"

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, as long as you have a good life, we will be happy," the old man lay down on the sofa and put himself in comfortably, and then said: "Furthermore, after this period of observation, Finding that you are really capable, Xiaoyan wouldn’t be wronged when she is with you—the most important thing is that she likes you. This is the basis for our agreement!"

I deliberately said with a deliberate taste: "You didn't say that last time... Here, it was the father's birthday."

Boss Ren's face turned red in an instant, and he didn't know how to answer the conversation in a big embarrassment. On the contrary, my future brother-in-law gave him a word to relieve him: "What nonsense? Isn't it because I knew that I was wrong and came to you? , You still don't give me noodles?"

"No," I didn't dare to make trouble in the face of the future old man, and I quickly laughed: "That said, don't care too much-I have nothing else but poor mouth. You will know in the future. In fact, in my heart Really nowhere!"

When this sentence came to the ground, the Ren family trio and I laughed happily, and the atmosphere instantly became harmonious...

The little drill brought the tea up in the air, and the old man understood it when he took a look: "That's it? Why bother? Didn't you mean that your roaster's business is on fire? Why don't you prepare good tea? Nothing but tea stems for the guests?"

I hurriedly took out fifty yuan and handed it to Xiao Zuanfeng, and said: "Buy, buy now..."

"Forget it, isn't the tea bought for fifty yuan the same?" Old man Ren twisted the Cong Cha Mozi and put the cup on his own. Ren Xiaonan hurriedly carried to add water, and Xiao Zuanfeng kicked fifty in his pocket. He slipped away, and the old man continued: "We have something to discuss with you..."

Since it's a family, what can't be said, I openly said: "You said, I must be unambiguous if I can help."

Father Ren and Boss Ren both looked awkward at the same time. They looked at each other for a long time and no one said anything. I was very anxious: "You still said that you are not here to talk about the bride price?!"

Ren Xiaonan stood up and said: "Forget it, this matter is for me-why bother, my dad and my grandfather mean that now your business is so good, many old customers know that our two shops are just one. We made a reservation here, but we don’t have those dishes... Could you please discuss and serve these dishes on our side?”

I slapped my thigh and suddenly said, "Co-work with you to learn my dishes today, so mysterious!"

"Nor, not all," Mr. Ren picked up the cup and almost covered his entire face. Boss Ren said with a rosy complexion, "It's mainly the soup, cough cough..."

It stands to reason that learning cooking is a big taboo in the chef industry. In general, no one would sell their hottest and most popular recipes to others. Ren's ancestors and grandchildren also knew this rule, but they still came—so, I decided that Ren's The business of the other restaurant was very poor. They had to ask for it, and maybe they had already discussed it with Ren Xiaoyan, so I thought about it and agreed to their request, "It's okay to help you, but teach your chefs." I’m afraid I won’t learn it for a while..."

"It's okay, you just need to send two chefs here," Mr. Ren hurriedly said: "The chefs are not our own family, and teach them what to do. You should put your hands on safety."

They agreed to send a chef to Ren's restaurant. They watched me sublimate again. From the beginning, they reluctantly recognized each other and became eager to recognize each other. The two elders were still slightly reserved due to their identities, but Ren Xiaonan couldn't control so much. , Directly hooked my shoulders and started friendship: "Why, your kid is interesting, I really deserve my sister to see you..."

He grabbed a bottle of beer and reached out to me: "Come on, let's touch one, we will be a family in the future!"

Me: "You have to take it to the refrigerator by yourself-your bottle is mine."

The big event has been settled, a stone in the Ren family’s heart also fell to the ground, and they spoke a lot more naturally, followed by a burst of nonsense, mainly around the competition and the development of the Ren’s restaurant. I also know that I can’t stop talking with them. What can be said, and what can not be said – I only found out at night after pondering: numbness, there is basically nothing I can say about the things I said in the afternoon, so this afternoon, I'm all bluffing...

After we had a good chat, the Ren family simply left us here for dinner. I told Xiao Zuanfeng to bake a lot of skewers, and then let Wu Jin and the others cook some noodles. At this time, they lived in the tent upstairs. Xiang Shaolong, Paoding and the others also woke up, not to say anything, they just sat at the table and started eating. Together with Ren Xiaoyan and Uncle Wolf who rushed back from the Century Restaurant, everyone gathered together and had a great time. The three grandparents and grandchildren of Ren's family sighed with emotion:

"Why are these chefs... Hey, they look different!"

After eating, we had our own things. After everyone was gone, Ren Xiaoyan asked me: "My father, my grandfather, what are they doing with you, do you want you to teach them the dishes?"

"That's what it means."

Ren Xiaoyan was anxious in an instant, and asked repeatedly: "Then what did you say, did you agree?"

"Can you not agree?" I said helplessly: "One is the future old man, the future elder brother, and the other is the future... If you don't agree, I guess I will only take your elopement."

"Eope if you elope, you can't give them the recipe!" Ren Xiaoyan said solemnly: "These dishes are the lifeblood of our Century Restaurant. Why are they taught? They are not my shop!" She pondered, and when she spoke again, it was already there. An idea: "I'll give you Grandpa's phone number. You call it and say you regret it."

Me: "... Do you think it is appropriate?"

"What's wrong?" Ren Xiaoyan said indifferently: "The secret of the industry, even my own restaurant can't break the rules. I taught the apprentices to starve to death the master-unless they are willing to leave the restaurant to me, and I will help with the money. They earn."

I got it now: "Co-authored you for the entire family property in City A?" I happily said, "Is this for me?"

Ren Xiaoyan gave me a glance: "I'm here to show my ability, so that the messy elders in the family, that is, other shareholders of our restaurant, always say that my brother should inherit the position of general manager. How am I worse than him?"

"Sullen, I understand..." I said helplessly, "You and your brother are no better than me, but it's not good to let me break my promise and get fat-you just go for a snack, you are a family, and you stand on the cusp of getting scolded the most. , I’m going to stand up and definitely offend your whole family. What will happen to this relationship then?”

Ren Xiaoyan thought about it and nodded slowly: "That's—" She changed her mind: "Why don't you make a fake?"

"I guess it's not possible. Can anyone not know what's not going on in the mouth?" I bluntly said: "In fact, I don't think it is so mysterious. The chefs are all ours. Do you have to worry about it?"

Ren Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows: "You mean we send someone to cook?"

"Not all, we will send people to cook these dishes," I explained: "The recipes are still in my hands. They can't learn them. If one day your father and your grandfather disagree with us, I will immediately. Remove people!"

"That's okay... What did you say just now, do it again!"

"I mean, someday your father and your father disagree with us, I will immediately..."

"Okay, I know-why bother, from this point on, I suddenly found that your kid is staying. Would you like to deal with me like this one day if I don't get along with you?"

"Don't think too much about it, this thing must be like this!" I said with a hippie smile: "Who doesn't keep your hands to marry a wife? Wouldn't it be okay if you start chaos and abandon me?" (End of this chapter)
