The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 551
Qilan's patient explanation calmed down Lin Yitang temporarily.

He walked back slowly with two long legs, his shadow dragged very long under the streetlight, and he didn't stop until he reached the corner at the end of the streetlight.

The place was not easy to spot, and was covered by three thick telegraph poles attached to it.If you finish shooting, you can escape from the small alleys extending in all directions.

Looking at the empty road, unknowingly, images of the daily life of my uncle's family of three once and beautifully emerged in my mind.

If they had been living safely in their hometown by the sea and hadn't gone north to live and study, they might have been able to escape the long-planned tricks and plots by Hong, and everyone would still be happy as always.

Men, however, have long-term plans.Lin Mi's father is approaching age, tired of endless fights, and knows that there are not many opportunities in life, so he was persuaded by his colleagues in the capital to move his family to the cold north.

In fact, he has made a plan to start a career in literature or business if he has the opportunity, and he just wants to spend the rest of his life in peace and tranquility.

Even, in order to further take root in the capital, in the early autumn of this year, he called his nephew all the way from the south to marry his daughter first, and then seek a more suitable position.

Who would have thought that someone had designed a cage to trap their uncle and nephew here, life would be worse than death.

Thinking of this, Yitang leaned helplessly on the cold telephone pole, his eyes full of loss and annoyance.

"It doesn't matter that the person surnamed Hong is Ah Yan's uncle, I will also come to take revenge."

A black carriage galloped by.The body is not big, and the railings are carved with exquisite patterns.Black silk covers the windows, and wind chimes jingle.

Strangely, there is no coachman behind the horse!
The carriage passed by in a flash, very quickly, and a strange fragrance also drifted away.

"Could this car also go to the Yihe Hotel?!"

Out of curiosity, Yitang quietly followed for about ten meters, and sure enough, he saw the carriage stopped about 300 meters away from the main entrance of the hotel.

At this time, the banquet was going on happily, and the officers in charge of inspecting the guests had already withdrawn, leaving only more than [-] soldiers outside to guard against the cold wind.

Looking around carefully, he didn't see the shadow of the little scholar, he probably managed to sneak in.

What caught his attention were two black figures getting off the mysterious carriage.

Looking at her height and figure, she looked like a tall woman.But both of them were wearing suits, low hats and sunglasses, and carrying suitcases in their hands. It was hard to tell whether they were men or women if they didn't look closely.

Just as he was staring intently, there was a rapid horn sound behind him, and he had to turn back to pay attention to the new situation nearby.

There are many more cars at the intersection.The windows of the cars were covered tightly, and it was very strange to drive one after another without stopping near the hotel.

At this time, nothing is more important than safety and caution.Even though Yitang was [-] suspicious, he forced himself to go back behind the electric pole and wait for the opportunity.

Being distracted by the car, the two unknown people just now disappeared long ago.

He wiped his pistol, vaguely having a premonition that "the comer is not kind".If it was aimed at someone Hong, it would probably be more ominous than ominous.

You wicked fellow, wish you luck tonight.

The lights in the hotel lobby were as bright as day.Based on his experience as a pastry chef in the Huaxia Hotel owned by Boss Tang, Qilan walked around and accurately found the location of the back kitchen. He opened a small restaurant just separated from the bustling market by a high wall. Door.

The front door is heavily guarded, but the back kitchen is not.Since the small door is open, there are always small trolleys carrying ingredients coming in and out, and chefs in overalls running around.

Just looking at the size of the parking lot in front of the gate, it is estimated that the number of visitors is at least two hundred.Big banquets often have a wide variety of dishes, snacks and drinks, and it is commonplace to supplement material and manpower.

With a sound of "squeak", the small door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked out in a hurry.The white chef's hat on his head and the badge on his overalls were similar to the ones Qilan had seen in Boss Tang's Hotel.

When he took a closer look, this person was not a completely unfamiliar face, but he seemed to have some impressions.So he chased after him and called softly, "Master Luo?"

"Huh?" The middle-aged man hurriedly turned his head when he heard the shout, and met his eyes.

"Master Luo, I used to bake cakes at Boss Tang's Hotel. I lost my job recently. I would like to ask you to help me find something to do."

"Hey, it's not easy for us. Since the eldest lady died in a car accident, Boss Tang dismissed all the pastry chefs in the hotel. I have only worked here for a month. If you want to come, I can help recommend it."

"Thank you. I'm looking for a job in a hurry. How can I help you tonight?"

With a polite, humble and peaceful attitude, Master Luo couldn't bear to refuse.Qilan's behavior can still be trusted.The young man is diligent in his hands and feet, and his craftsmanship is also very good. He is very skillful in making cakes and pastries.

"Okay, I'm in a hurry to buy butter cakes now, and you're here to help me move in together. I'll be the first to recommend you when I recruit next month."

The hotel is not good at making pastry, so I didn't prepare too much before.I didn't expect the Japanese dim sum to be too sweet and greasy, so there was a lot left.But the little butter cakes are so popular that they are wiped out before the meal.

After the banquet, there will be a dance until dawn, and there is a shortage of refreshments. It may not be enough to rely on the hotel's staff alone.Master Luo, who was in charge of West Point, had no choice but to go to the street to buy ready-made ones to supplement.

Hearing this, a clear smile appeared on the corner of Qilan's mouth.

He accompanied Master Luo to hailed a rickshaw and ran to the east of the city together.There are many foreign embassies there, and there are cake shops opened by foreign bosses in the surrounding area.It was already 07:30 in the evening when the two of them rushed back carrying a large box of cakes sweating profusely.

"Come in with me, if you slow down, it will be too late!"

Master Luo took out the key and hurriedly turned the lock, Qilan quickly entered the door carrying a stack of high-piled cardboard boxes.

Following in the footsteps of Master Luo, he entered the separate pastry making room next to the back kitchen.

Perhaps it was due to the shortage of manpower, but there were only two people working in the huge room.One of them was called to make coffee temporarily by the manager, and there was only one person left to deal with it.

Seeing this scene, Master Luo, who originally only planned to let Qilan leave after moving the cake, was forced to change his mind, and looked at him with a pleading look in his eyes:

"Little master, we are quite short of people, or we can stay and help out. After the banquet is over, let the manager pay the salary, which will not be less than what the hotel gave before."

"Okay, I will work right away, and I will live up to your expectations." After speaking, he quickly changed into his work clothes and started to work.

The temperature in the room was very high, and the fire in the oven was blazing.He had just been busy for a while wearing a mask, and he was sweating profusely.

Suddenly a man in military uniform ran in, and when he saw Master Luo, he urged him impatiently:

"The butter cake needs 480 eight pieces, immediately put it on a plate and send it to the second floor, even if there is one less!"

"However, we only have three hundred in total." Master Luo rubbed his hands, feeling uneasy.It's too late to go out, it's almost closing time.He and Qilan went all over the shops of those foreigners, but they only bought less than two hundred.
