Chef's Knife

Chu Yuanzhong's appearance was that of an unfeeling and ungrateful boy with a gloomy look in his expression, which made him not seem like a good person.

Those red phoenix eyes don’t have the habit of looking straight at people. Before lowering the eyelids, they squint their eyes and glance at you from a distance, making people feel chilly all over, as if being stared at by a fierce beast, not to mention how uncomfortable it is. up.When he withdrew his eyes and retracted his hands into his sleeves, lowered his head in thought, thinking about something, he was firmly labeled as a 'deceitful mind'.

Actually, he's probably racking his brains to figure out what this person's last name is...

That's right, Mr. Chu Xiang is face-blind.Those who are familiar with him have witnessed all kinds of silly jokes that he can't tell, and then make jokes.

The reason why he doesn't look straight at people is because his eyesight is not good, and things close to him are always blurred.Coupled with the unfavorable factor of difficulty in recognizing faces, he is almost half blind.But he didn't want to let others know, so he had to casually pretend to have other plans, so as to cover up the fact that he didn't know who the other party was.

After Li Si led the officials to clear the scene and took those people to prison, he sat down and drank a cup of tea.

Really, if it wasn't for looking for that person, he wouldn't be bothered to come to this poor place to listen to people scolding him behind his back.

he thought blankly.

In fact, it doesn't matter how he is scolded by others, he has no heart in the first place, and even today he doesn't know what shame is.

Anyway, he is indeed not a good person, he is bad, so bad that everyone is angry, but who can do anything to him?

He lives according to his own will, but always feels that his chest is empty and his body is light.It made him feel uneasy, as if he had no roots.So he had no choice but to look for something that was more reliable, and held on to it fiercely, never letting go.

Yes, it’s good to hold on to something. Power and money are all good things; the bigger the official, the more money the better. Once some things swell up, they don’t feel so empty. It is no longer so flimsy.

"Lilac...cough, Miss Nutmeg. Where has your boss gone?"

He always carries an ancient coin in his waist, but in fact it is a lens embedded with thin crystals, so that he can take it out deliberately and take a sneak peek when necessary, so as not to look like a blind man.But at this moment, when he passed through the crystal lens of the square eyes of the copper coin, what he saw seemed to be a blurry image that overlapped. Sticking out his tongue, panting for breath.

"Sister Numeg is not here, and the maid is Fennel." The waiter girl in purple offered a pot of tea as usual, as if everything that happened just now didn't exist in her eyes.Several other girls in the empty hall neatly arranged the tables and chairs, and cleaned up the tea and scattered melon seeds and snacks on the table, without any flustered and unnatural reactions.The fennel girl's face did not change when she spoke, and her tone was neither humble nor overbearing, "Master Luo has something to go out, sir, do you have anything to convey?"

Chu Yuanzhong breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the lens.After picking off the black spots on the top, lift it up and take a closer look.She was clearly a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old with bright eyes and white teeth and an oval face!

The farce of the cup bow and snake shadow making a false alarm made him a little worried.I feel that not only my eyes are hopeless, but my brain may also have some problems.

It's strange to say, I don't know where Luo Sheng got so many beautiful girls to work in Baiweilou.The younger one looked about fifteen or sixteen, and the older one was probably in his early twenties.Their faces were made by the most skillful clay figurines in West Street, and their facial features were carved by the best jade craftsmen in East Street.Lake blue, goose yellow, smoky purple and crimson, and brocades of various colors are worn on the body, as beautiful as walking out of a painting.

These girls are all good at kung fu, and they are worthy of first-class masters in terms of boxing and kicking.Therefore, the apprentices of Baiweilou who wanted to take advantage of it over the years probably did not end well, and were treated horribly.Chu Yuanzhong saw such a time with his own eyes. It was a few years ago when he had not yet worshiped the chancellor but was already in full swing. Many people in the court rushed to curry favor with him.

I can't remember exactly who asked him to do something that time. That person had to go to great lengths to book a seat for the Baiweilou dinner two months in advance.It happened that Chu Yuanzhong was in a good mood that day, so he went to the banquet to save face for the other party.As a result, before the meal was eaten, I watched a farce first—there was a table opposite the hall, and I didn’t know it was the young man with oily hair and noodles. Over there, when he saw a girl holding a sweet soup of melons and fruits, he made a fool of himself, and he couldn't let go of the girl's hand.

The girl named Baizhi is a newcomer, wearing a crescent white blouse.The temperament is quiet and docile, the only problem is that she is too timid.She blushed and froze on the spot, faintly feeling like she was being bullied, but she didn't dare to speak up.

The fox friends and dog friends around the dandy knew that the girl in Baiweilou was absolutely untouchable, so they wanted to remind her.It can be seen that the girl's bewildered and cowardly look is also very interesting, and she can't help but sneer maliciously.

The dandy became even more arrogant, and became arrogant, reaching out his hand to touch her face, and wiped the oil fiercely.

Chu Yuanzhong couldn't see near things well, but his vision was very clear when he saw far away. At this moment, this scene fell into his eyes completely.But he didn't react too much, he just watched calmly with those red and phoenix eyes with an attitude of indifference.

I don't know if his eyes were dazzled, but he seemed to see a pair of long rabbit ears growing out of the head of the girl named Bai Zhi, drooping weakly on both sides, and her eyes were also red.It's really cute, Chu Yuanzhong thought while chewing the apricots carelessly, the little girl's character is indeed like a little white rabbit, she is docile and well-behaved but also timid and fearful.It would be fun to keep one by your side.

It's a pity that rabbits can bite people when they are in a hurry.When the dandy's hand touched the girl's chest, Bai Zhi finally couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed the dandy's wrist, and with a click, one wrist was broken.The dandy was in pain for a while, angry to the side of the gall, raised his other hand and slapped heavily, and the girl who was caught off guard suddenly had five crimson fingerprints on her cheek.

"Damn it, stinky female cousin! How dare you fight with me--you are against me...Ah!!" Bai Zhi kicked her heartily, and the yelling on the dude's mouth stopped abruptly and turned into a cry. scream.

The following scene was chaotic, and the two girls, Chen Pi and Huajiao, immediately stepped forward to fight the dandy's house slaves.Those house slaves are also Lianjiazi hired by the dandy's family with a lot of money, and their kung fu is one of the best, otherwise how could the dandy be so arrogant and confident when he caused trouble.For a moment, the hall was filled with chickens and dogs jumping over the wall, and the overturned tables and chairs flew around.

The crackling sound of the porcelain made Chu Yuanzhong's head hurt.I was a little curious in my heart, where did these girls with superb martial arts come from?It is conceivable that the owner of this Baiweilou is probably not an idle person.

Involuntarily greedy at that moment, Chu Yuanzhong began to estimate the value of this Baiweilou like a hungry wolf peeling off the fur of its prey to measure the weight of the meat.

The commotion that time was really a bit big, and the boss who disturbed the Baiweilou Shenlong who couldn't see the end appeared.

Many people were a little disappointed when they saw Luo Sheng's true face.

It was a 28/nine-year-old youth with a very ordinary appearance, not as shocking as people imagined.When you see him, you may have an illusion of deja vu. Maybe he is the big brother next door who fetches water, maybe he is the courtier who knows things at the pawnshop, maybe he is the doctor who checks the pulse of the pharmacy, and maybe he is the young teacher in the private school. ...or a stranger who passed by one day.

That face was as ordinary as a passer-by, neither beautiful nor ugly.Among the mortal beings, there is one more, not more, and one less.

What, just a cook.

Chu Yuanzhong thought with a look of disapproval, but couldn't take his eyes back for a long time.

As soon as Luo Sheng appeared on the stage, he brought over a worldly atmosphere soaked in firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.It is not so much a person as it is a symbol; wherever he is, there are red men and women who cannot escape the mundane world, and pots, pans, tea, rice, oil and salt that cannot be separated.

He tied his long hair into a low ponytail with a dark blue headband, hanging loosely to his waist.In order to facilitate work, he habitually rolled up his sleeves, exposing his forearms.He doesn't seem to be such a shrewd person, without the slightest philistinism and cunning of a businessman, he naturally exudes a very pure simplicity, it is hard for people to imagine that this huge Baiweilou is run by him alone.

"Do you know who my father is?" The dandy yelled disdainfully, with a face full of arrogance and arrogance. "Today I offend the young master, and tomorrow I will make you hungry..."

"This guest officer already has stagnant liver qi, and it's really not good for his body to be upset." Luo Sheng seemed to be used to this kind of people, and he had already taken it for granted.Speaking of this, the girl Liang Jiang behind brought an ice tray, on which was half an emerald green watermelon, the bright red sandy flesh mixed with ice cubes and goat's milk raisins, it was really cool, "Please be careful, there are some ice creams here. cheese……"

"Bah!" The dandy spat at Luo Sheng and kicked over the ice tray, "Who cares about you, a bastard—"

The watermelon was thrown into the air, rolled on the ground and fell to pieces, the red and white juice dripped all over the ground, in Chu Yuanzhong's eyes, it looked like smashed brains.However, the next moment, he saw it staying in Luo Sheng's hand intact, unchanged.

The clean ground, not even a single melon seed, seemed to be his own illusion.
