Chapter 17
Chapter 17
The chef was invited away by the distinguished guests, and he didn't come back until after get off work in the evening.
Some people whispered that if the chef is about to get rich, if he embraces the golden thigh of the Huo family, he might ask the manager to resign tomorrow.
"Then are we going to hire a new chef?"
"There's a sous chef here, he's the chef's apprentice, and he usually cooks most of the dishes..."
On the way back to the dormitory, Xiao Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "This pair of grandsons are so yin, you made that dish, but they are so embarrassed to claim credit for it, I really don't think it's embarrassing!"
"The manager is too eccentric, so let the chef impersonate him!"
The signboard of Jinhui restaurant is the chef, but today the dishes were returned three times and four times. This is not only an insult to the chef, but also a depreciation of the level of the restaurant.
In the back kitchen, an unknown little worker can beat the senior chef without any effort, this is hard to say.The manager considered this and decided to turn a blind eye.
But the manager didn't expect that the guest would invite the chef away.
It is inappropriate to say please go, it should be snatched away.
This was beyond his expectation, and he was secretly uneasy, always feeling that something would happen.
Ming Ran listened to Xiao Zhang chattering all the way, but when he waited for the red light, Xiao Zhang saw Ming Ran's calm and calm appearance, and was immediately discouraged.
It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry, Brother Ran doesn't care, but he turns himself into a puffer fish!
Possibly, this is the realm of the boss?How about that famous saying?Detached from all things and dependent on nothing.
Xiao Zhang couldn't help but be amused by his own thoughts, this is beauty in the eye of the beholder... Ah bah, this is the legendary Great God filter.
After arriving at the dormitory, Ming Ran hurried into the kitchen.On the way back, he suddenly thought of a question.
Due to differences in geographical environment, types of cattle and post-processing techniques, the taste of milk will definitely be different.This difference is bound to have a very different taste after the chef has heated and prepared various seasonings.
Take the milk in Jinhui Restaurant as an example. They use the most commonly used boxed milk on the market.This kind of milk comes from a large foreign livestock farm. It tastes mellow and rich, but the sweetness is too much.
These subtle differences may be difficult to detect, but Ming Ran is different, his sensitivity to taste is different from ordinary people.
After Xiao Zhang took a shower, he walked out of the bathroom with a towel on. Today's dinner was already on the table.
Xiao Zhang was pleasantly surprised: "It's milky shrimp, brother Ran, how do you know that I want to eat this! Oh, I'm so hungry for lunch today, I'm embarrassed to tell you..."
Xiao Zhang scratched his head shyly, took a spoon and a small bowl, and sat opposite Ming Ran: "Can I eat?"
Ming Ran nodded and stretched out his hand as an invitation.
Xiao Zhang quickly scooped up a mouthful with a spoon, and when he put it into his mouth, he narrowed his eyes and let out a comfortable sigh.
"How about it?"
"Good time!"
Burning black line: "It's gone?"
Xiao Zhang closed his eyes and enjoyed the sizzling shrimp in his mouth, and he did not forget to flatter Ming Ran: "Well... today's guest is really lucky!"
Ming Ran sighed helplessly, and no longer expected to get any useful advice from Xiao Zhang.
However, in terms of luck, Xiao Zhang is still blessed.
What the distinguished guest ate was the low-grade milk that had been used wrongly, but what Xiao Zhang ate was the top-grade milk.
*****
Dreaming moment.
Huo Qichang and Huo Yunhe will be back today, the servants have cleaned the house clean, the marble floor in the living room is shining, the gorgeous crystal lamp is shining brightly, and the famous paintings in the corridor have been polished to a golden shine.
The servants and cooks in the restaurant were all driven away by Lin Yuesheng.He sat at the edge of the dining table, resting his face on his hands, staring seriously at a busy figure in the kitchen.
Lin Yuesheng was left out in the cold for a long time, feeling slightly dissatisfied in his heart, he felt that Ah Ran had changed as soon as he entered the kitchen.He couldn't help but said: "Ah Ran, do you like cooking very much?"
"like."
"Then if a lot of famous chefs get together...to teach you various specialty dishes, wouldn't you be very happy?"
"Ah Ran?"
"Ah Ran—"
Ming Ran is preparing the ingredients for the stew.
This soup is his own creation. It tastes sweet and not greasy. It is good for the stomach and can also help sleep. It is most suitable for drinking at night.
Knowing that Lin Yuesheng was in a bad situation in this family, Ming Ran felt pity in his heart, but he couldn't do anything to help.
He was only good at cooking, so he thought of teaching Lin Yuesheng to make soup, so that he could please that ruthless father.
I don't know if it will work, but it's better than nothing.
Ming Ran was concentrating on the side dishes, and didn't pay attention to what Lin Yuesheng said.
But Lin Yuesheng couldn't wait for an answer, so he simply got up and walked into the kitchen.He suddenly grabbed Ming Ran's furry tail, pinched it in the palm of his hand and rubbed it lightly: "Ah Ran, why are you ignoring me?"
"Meow!!!"
Ming Ran's face suddenly changed drastically, the hair on his tail and ears stood up like needles, and even his eyes turned into vertical pupils.
A burst of numbness spread from the tailbone to the scalp, as if an electric current passed through it.
Ming Ran blushed, stammered and roared: "Don't touch my tail!"
Ming Ran's complexion is fair, giving people the impression that she has always been pale, thin and weak, but at this moment her cheeks are blood-colored, which makes her look extraordinarily beautiful.
Lin Yuesheng couldn't help but peeked at it several times.
Not long after, Lin Yuesheng went to secretly pinch his tail again, but Ming Ran discovered it first.
He slapped his hands hard.
"Hiss—" Lin Yuesheng covered his red hand, thinking that one day he would press Ah Ran to touch it enough.
Huo Qichang arrived home in the evening. He was wearing a pure black windbreaker, and his temples were slightly stained with frost.Although he has reached middle age, he is in better shape than many young people, his eyes are sharp, and he exudes the fierce aura of a superior without anger.
A man and a woman followed behind him.
The boy is the young master Huo Yunhe, and the girl's name is Mu Lian, a peerless beauty whom Huo Yunhe found from the south.
She has a charming appearance, and her every move carries the unique gentle charm of Jiangnan women.
Huo Yunhe knew that Huo Qichang was good at women, especially the gentle and quiet type, so he specially bought it for Huo Qichang at a large price.
A few days ago when Huo Qichang went abroad to discuss matters, Mu Lian was with him all the time. It seemed that she served Huo Qichang very well, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be brought back to Huo's house.
"Arrange a room for her and take good care of her." Huo Qichang lowered his head close to Mu Lian's fair neck, and whispered something nasty in her ear, which immediately made Mu Lian's earlobe stained with pink.
Huo Qichang laughed loudly, his voice was like a bell.
After pushing Mu Lian to the butler, he and Huo Yunhe walked to the study on the second floor.
There are two floors of stairs. When Huo Yunhe walked to the door of the study, he couldn't help taking out a white silk handkerchief to block the mouth, coughing heavily, and his whole back was trembling slightly.
Huo Qichang frowned, and pressed the cigarette from his fingertips into the ashtray: "Is your body still so poor?"
Huo Yunhe smiled helplessly: "That's all for my broken body."
Huo Yunhe is the oldest of Huo's three sons. He has a gentle personality, doesn't fight or grab, and is very good at handling things.
It's just that he is not in good health, and he is an out-and-out sick man.
It is said that the root cause of the disease fell from falling into the ice hole without paying attention when I was a child, and it cannot be cured.
Huo Yunhe smiled slightly, his voice was a little hoarse because of his severe coughing: "I heard that my second brother is hospitalized, I should go and have a look, but I have been feeling unwell recently, so I have been dragging it until now."
When Huo Yunjia was mentioned, a smile flashed on Huo Qichang's stern face: "This brat is used to lawlessness, so he should be taught a lesson."
Huo Yunhe clenched his lips: "Yun Jia is father's treasure, who dares to teach him a lesson?"
Huo Qichang rang the phone in front of the mahogany desk, and he called his assistant into the study.
A plain-looking man walks in.
"How is the third child recently? Has there been trouble again?"
The assistant said: "The third son is very well-behaved, he goes to school on time every day, and his academic performance is also very good. A few days ago, he raised an orange tabby cat. He loves it very much and eats and sleeps with him."
Huo Qichang sneered: "Children's heart."
The assistant continued: "I heard from the teachers and classmates that the young master's memory is unusual."
Huo Qichang became addicted to cigarettes, ignoring Huo Yunhe was still by his side, he picked up a cigarette, his eagle-eyed pupils narrowed slightly: "Oh? What's so unusual?"
Assistant: "It is said that it is... a photographic memory."
"Fresh, call that kid over!"
Huo Qichang exhaled a puff of smoke ring, and said lightly: "I forgot to tell you, I brought back a child from the countryside a few days ago, and it is your third brother."
Huo Yunhe resisted coughing, and showed a gentle smile: "That's really congratulations to father!"
Lin Yuesheng opened the door and came in, holding a tray with a delicate carved white porcelain bowl and a sterling silver spoon on it.
There was no flattery or humbleness on Lin Yuesheng's face. He walked steadily all the way, brought the sweet soup to Huo Qichang, placed the spoon lightly, and said in a low voice: "Father has been socializing all year round, this soup nourishes the stomach."
Huo Yunhe whispered softly: "Your brother is really filial, father, please try it."
Huo Qichang, however, set his eyes on Lin Yuesheng, with a faint smile on his face.He didn't say to drink, nor did he say not to drink, but just stared at Lin Yuesheng quietly.
Huo Qichang is moody, and at the moment he looks like a storm is about to come.
The study suddenly fell silent.
Everyone lowered their heads tightly, not daring to take a breath.
After a while, there was the crisp sound of metal hitting the porcelain bowl.Huo Qichang threw the spoon into the tray and said, "Good soup."
If Huo Qichang can say yes, it must be delicious food.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Huo Yunhe's eyes.
Huo Qichang patted Lin Yuesheng on the shoulder, with a slightly heavy tone: "You and your mother not only look alike, but also have the same ingenuity in thought and craftsmanship."
"Lin Jing also cooked soup for me, and it also tastes sweet and delicious."
Lin Yuesheng lowered his eyes slightly: "As long as father likes it."
Huo Qichang drank a few more sips, and after the servant cleaned up, he suddenly said: "I heard that you have a good memory, here is a contract, you memorize it."
After speaking, he threw a brown paper bag on the table.
This is the contract that Huo Qichang signed when he went abroad this time. It is important enough to make Huo Qichang turn his face on anyone.
Huo Yunhe set his eyes on Lin Yuesheng's downcast eyes, waiting for Lin Yuesheng's movements.
Does he dare or not?
In the next second, Lin Yuesheng picked up the contract very calmly, and read each page carefully.It was half a centimeter thick, and he finished it in a very short time.
"Okay." Lin Yuesheng returned the contract intact.
Huo Yunhe didn't hold his breath: "Remember?"
Lin Yuesheng: "Yes."
Acceptance results——
Lin Yuesheng did not miss a single word from beginning to end.
Huo Yunhe looked shocked.
After Huo Qichang was silent for a long time, he suddenly laughed.
With an extremely happy expression, he rubbed Lin Yuesheng's head vigorously: "Okay! Very good! You are very good!"
"As expected of my son!"
This kind of intimate action is very common for ordinary fathers and sons, but it is unprecedented for Huo Qichang.
Huo Yunhe suddenly coughed violently.
He lowered his head tightly, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a hoarse voice: "My brother is talented and intelligent, why don't you come to the company to help... Cough cough... My health is getting worse every day... Cough cough cough... I just need a capable helper like my brother...cough cough!"
Huo Qichang was noncommittal: "Oh? What do you mean, third child?"
Lin Yuesheng hesitated: "I don't know anything about the company, so I don't want to make trouble for my brother."
Huo Qichang did not allow Lin Yuesheng to say no, he said: "That's it."
"The next weekend, go to the company with your elder brother."
What he said is the imperial decree, and absolutely no one can refute it.
Afterwards, Huo Qichang waved his hands and said coldly: "Go out, Yunhe stays here, I have something to explain."
After a long time, Huo Yunhe came out of the study slowly.He is in poor health, standing for too long, his waist is a little unbearable, and he walks a little stooped.
"Is my brother waiting for me?"
On the terrace, Huo Yunhe covered his mouth and coughed softly.
Lin Yuesheng glanced at him, from the appearance alone, he was really a harmless and gentle person: "Didn't you tell me to wait for you here?"
Huo Yunhe laughed in a low voice, his chest heaved up and down, panting: "My brother is very smart, you can know what you want without saying it directly. It's the easiest to deal with people like you."
The corners of Huo Yunhe's eyes drooped slightly, he glanced at the orange kitten on Lin Yuesheng's shoulder, and smiled softly: "My brother's cat is so cute, it seems that I guessed the gift correctly."
After speaking, he took out a black velvet box and opened it to find a cat collar made of platinum. The surface of the falling bell was inlaid with large and small diamonds.
Under the scorching sun, it is dazzling.
"It was not easy to see off at my father's place just now, so I can only invite my younger brother to come here. A small gadget ordered from abroad is worthless, younger brother, don't dislike it."
Huo Yunhe seldom goes home, and has never met Lin Yuesheng, but he can easily know Lin Yuesheng's preferences, so he gave such a gift when they met for the first time.
The making of this gift will inevitably take a while, which shows that Huo Yunhe ordered people to prepare it very early.
He was warning Lin Yuesheng not to act rashly.
I know your every move.
Lin Yuesheng's eyes darkened, but he didn't attack.
He pretended not to understand: "Oh, thank you, brother."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you." Huo Yunhe reminded softly before leaving: "Yun Jia will be discharged from the hospital soon, you should be careful. He is the one who holds grudges the most."
*****
The next day, there was a circle of people outside Jinhui Restaurant.
The men wore high boots and combat uniforms.Ming Ran looked very familiar with this outfit.
But I can't remember where I've seen it.
The restaurant was surrounded and couldn't open. The manager was sweating anxiously, but he didn't dare to call the police.
Because those who come to make trouble are more powerful than the police.
Suddenly, a dark snakeskin bag was thrown into the hall, and the snakeskin bag seemed to contain a living creature, writhing non-stop.
A strong and tall man at the head stomped hard, and there was a muffled groan of pain immediately.
The man said coldly: "What's in charge, get out."
The restaurant staff all turned pale with fright, and the manager stood up tremblingly: "Excuse me, what's your order?"
The man smiled evilly, and said in a cold tone, "You guys are so courageous, you dare to deceive my young master. Believe it or not, our brothers smashed your shit restaurant?"
