I don't dance with this pot [food]

Chen Rui is five years younger than him and is studying at university.His family was not well off. His father left home suddenly when he was six years old. He disappeared and never heard from him. His mother never mentioned his father's affairs again. Even his father's name has become a taboo. , He also forgot his father's face and name.The mother single-handedly brought up the two brothers, but unfortunately, when he was preparing for the high school entrance examination, his mother died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and the burden of the family fell on the shoulders of his elder brother.At only 14 years old, he had to bear the pain of bereavement and take over the heavy responsibility of taking care of his younger brother.

After graduating from junior high school, he gave up the olive branch thrown at him by key high schools, gave up the donations from his teachers, and took up part-time jobs alone.At that time, he was still young, and many bosses were afraid to use him. He still begged and begged, so he pretended to be a boss's child and worked under that boss.In order to make a living, he also had to learn a lot of life skills.

In fact, he doesn't particularly like the chef industry, but because this industry doesn't need to show his face, and the income is relatively high, which saves him a lot of trouble, so he forced himself to become a chef.

However, even at today's monthly income of [-], he is still penniless.

Yes, he is short of money.No one believed that a chef with a good reputation would actually bow down to money, live in a dilapidated and dangerous place, and wear street stalls bought a few years ago.

His bank card has never had more than three-digit deposits—from tuition fees, living expenses, and now bonuses, there are always various reasons for his income to flow out of his hands and into his brother's account.

But that was his only relative, what could he do?Wasn't it just to make my beloved brother live a better life when he endured hardships?

He clicked on the withdrawal interface, closed his eyes, mustered up the courage to enter the number "1000", and then deposited the withdrawn 1000 yuan into his brother's bank account in a familiar manner.

Kari only had 378 yuan left, which was his only food expenses for this month. He stared at the desperate red number and stared blankly for a long time.

At this time, Qiu Hanyu had already entered the cafeteria, and before the stools were warmed up, he couldn't wait to reach the cooked food area.The stewed candelabra with foie gras that he has been thinking about seems to have just been served, exuding a hot aroma, and the eggplants covered in sauce are plump and attractive.

He couldn't help picking up a big dish, and kindly helped Chen Liang pick up some. He also asked the waiter what kind of dishes the chef cooked, and he picked up some of the dishes that the chef cooked today.

Satisfied, he returned to his seat, looked at the dazzling array of food, and the aroma invaded his nose, almost as if leading him to commit a crime, causing his tongue to salivate uncontrollably.

It's so fragrant, and this eggplant, why is the color so beautiful, the sauce and sesame oil are so evenly wrapped, it looks very delicious.

He stared until his eyes turned green, swallowed his saliva, stretched out his hands towards the chopsticks in a strange way, paused for a few seconds, and immediately retracted them.

It's impolite to eat ahead of time by yourself, and you can't be so rude.

However, this thing is really delicious.Just one sip, just one sip to satisfy his cravings, he just hasn't eaten something tasty for a long time, and he is in urgent need of taste stimulation, it's not impolite to eat in advance.

Yes, just a taste.

He plucked up his courage, and quickly picked up the chopsticks and stuffed an eggplant into his mouth like a thief. However, the delicious taste he expected did not come.

As usual, it is bland and tasteless, without salty or sweet taste, just like eating a piece of sugar-free chewing gum, except for the real feeling of chewing in the mouth, there is no feeling of eating at all.The eggplant may not have been cooked for long enough, and it has not yet softened. It does not melt in the mouth like before. It is a bit harder and the fragrance is slightly lacking.

Disappointed, he put down his chopsticks, beckoned to the waiter, and asked, "Which master made the eggplant today?"

The waiter replied with a bright smile: "Master Song made it. May I ask if this dish doesn't suit your taste?"

Apparently it wasn't that chef who did it.

Qiu Hanyu didn't answer, and changed his subject: "How many masters make this dish?"

The waiter explained: "Master Song and Master Chen are the only two masters who can cook this dish well. Originally, Master Chen was in charge of western food, but Master Chen did well, so I let him continue to cook. Master Chen is resting today. This dish was made by Master Song."

"It's okay, you can go to work." After the waiter left, Qiu Hanyu immediately called Liu Shao, "Go and find out when the chef surnamed Chen is going to work and when he is off."

Liu Shao almost cried, no one was at work on the big weekend, where could he check the working hours of a stranger, and let him have a comfortable weekend and relax with his mother?

Liu Shao agreed reluctantly, and within 10 minutes, he called back: "Mr. Qiu, after checking, he rests once every six days, and it happens to be today."

"Oh," Qiu Hanyu suddenly laughed, and the laughter sounded creepy to Liu Shao, "He is arranged to work at a fixed time, from Tuesday to Sunday, and rest on Monday, and he must provide food for the cafeteria on weekdays." vegetable."

Liu Shao petrified for a few seconds, Mr. Qiu, didn't he say that he didn't take care of that chef, but now he asked that person to work during the prime time of customer peak?Where is your face?He slandered for a long time, and it took him a long time to hold back a word: "...Okay."

Satisfied with the phone call, Chen Liang just came back, Qiu Hanyu hurriedly asked the waiter to take away the tasteless dishes, and went to pick up the most distinctive seafood and dishes here, and the dishes were neatly arranged.

"I'm back," Qiu Hanyu introduced to Chen Liang with a smile, "These are the special dishes of this restaurant. They taste good. Can you eat seafood?"

"Yes." Chen Liang was not in a good mood. Thinking of the terrifying three-digit deposit, his heart felt as if a boulder had weighed on him, and he was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

"Try it quickly..." Qiu Hanyu paused, "Why, your complexion is very bad, is there something wrong?"

Chen Liang's body froze, and he forced out two words: "It's okay."

Qiu Hanyu reluctantly pushed a plate of salt and pepper mantis shrimp in front of Chen Liang: "Okay, okay, I don't ask, you can eat quickly, eating can make you feel better."

"Thank you."

A few big mantis shrimps were covered with salt and pepper, and the fresh fragrance overflowed the tip of the nose, which really made Chen Liang feel relaxed.

In order to avoid being recognized by others, he took off his black-rimmed glasses and carefully put them aside, then picked up a shrimp with both hands, let the shrimp's trunk move in a wave shape, and then pressed hard to break its hard shell, and then The shell under the head picked a good place to start, gently tore the shell from the beginning to the end, and the whole shell was completely peeled off, and the delicious shrimp meat appeared in front of you.

Qiu Hanyu was dumbfounded, he couldn't bite down on the shrimp that was brought to his mouth.In the past, he always felt that peeling shrimp with his hands was very inelegant, embarrassing and troublesome, but now after seeing Chen Liang's eating method, he suddenly felt that eating with chopsticks was the most inelegant behavior, and it was a waste of money. , sorry for the delicious food.

Chen Liang finished eating a prawn slowly, licked his tongue habitually, raised his head, and saw a pair of red eyes staring at the prawn shell in the bone dish, it was as frightening as if the prawn shell was going to be cramp and peeled off. .

"Cough," Qiu Hanyu retracted his gaze in time, but his gaze moved to the shrimp shell uncontrollably, "Your way of peeling the shrimp is really interesting."

"Thinking about it." Chen Liang probably guessed what Qiu Hanyu meant, picked up a steaming shrimp and said, "I'll teach you."

Qiu Hanyu's fingers tightened, and he was almost bewitched by Chen Liang to reach out to grab the shrimp. Fortunately, he braked in time: "I didn't say I want to learn, I just asked."

Obviously his eyes are almost rounded, and his mouth is still stubborn.Chen Liang looked at Qiu Hanyu's clenched hand, Fuzhi peeled a shrimp in his heart, and handed it to Qiu Hanyu's dinner plate: "Here."

Qiu Hanyu was stunned. Except for the tail shell, the prawns were all peeled clean, the delicious meat was exposed, and the pepper and salt were unevenly decorated on it, adding a bit of color to the prawn meat.

Qiu Hanyu muttered awkwardly: "I didn't say I wanted to eat it, even if I wanted to eat it, I can peel it myself."

Chen Liang picked up another shrimp, continued to help Qiu Hanyu peel it, and replied casually: "Just dirty my hands."

Qiu Hanyu's heart tightened for a moment, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his heart. No one would help him peel the shrimp, and would care whether his hands were clean or not. Even if he was as close as his parents, he would only strictly teach him how to eat shrimp gracefully .

He picked up the shrimp with chopsticks and slowly put it into his mouth to chew, his heart was so soft that he couldn't speak.

He obviously didn't know what salty and sweet taste was like, but in an instant, he tasted the taste of shrimp.

It's really sweet.
