It's not too late to love again

Chapter 312
"It's a word."

Luo Qishan did not let go, but changed the subject, with a strange look in her beautiful eyes: "Fandi, I promise you that we will be free after marriage and will not interfere with each other. I will help you complete your old marriage. Dad's wish, but please understand my situation. The Luo family is a big family, and the water between the houses is very deep. When it comes to family affairs, please cooperate with me when necessary, at least let me I won't be too embarrassing in front of my family, and I will give you enough face in front of your family. So, what do you think?"

The seemingly tough words, in fact, Fandi's X-ray-like see-through eyes can see Luo Qishan's trembling. When mentioning her family, she seems to be a little helpless.

Fandi hummed in a low voice, which was his answer to Luo Qishan.

Luo Qishan finally calmed down, smiled from the bottom of her heart, held Fandi's hand tightly, and said meaningfully: "Hello, my future husband, please take care of me in the future."

In this woman's beautiful smile, Fandi was dazed for a moment, and subconsciously looked back at Xiaoying's tombstone, and couldn't help but jump in his heart... If Xiaoying was still by his side, seeing that he was going to get married I must be secretly sad again.It's just that he really regards marriage as completing his mission... Isn't it the same as whoever he marries, if it's not her in his heart?It's a pity that he didn't realize this until now. If he had realized it earlier, he might as well have married Xiaoying when she was around. At least it would be considered comfort and compensation for her...

In the evening, the sky suddenly became overcast, and the dark clouds seemed to be about to rain. At the same time, in a small restaurant in a corner of the city, Xiaoying was holding a stack of plates when suddenly her feet slipped...

"Ah..." As she exclaimed, there was a crackling sound and fell to the ground, her hand slipped, and a stack of plates was smashed...

It happened that the boss was also in the kitchen, and when he saw this, he immediately cursed, swung his thick arm and threw it on Xiaoying's head!
"What are you doing to eat! You can't hold the plate well, useless waste!"

Xiaoying's head was firmly patted, and there was water on the kitchen floor. She couldn't stand still, and she fell to the ground with one side of her palm pressed against a piece of debris.

The piercing pain came, and Xiaoying was in cold sweat. She seemed to be unable to hear the boss's insults, and only the bloody pain remained.

Xiaoying is very careful in doing things. Today is the first time she accidentally broke a plate. She doesn't know what happened, but just at that second, her heart twitched suddenly, and then her hands slipped...

"What an idiot! You smashed six dishes, all of which will be deducted from your salary. If you don't concentrate on your work, you will have no money when I get paid. Don't cry for me, huh!" Xiaoying got on her waist and went out cursing, without even looking at Xiaoying's injured hand. In this small restaurant, except for Master Wu, everyone else discriminated against Xiaoying, and the boss even scolded at every turn, even just now He also kicked her who fell to the ground.It didn't take long after Xiaoying came to work to understand why the previous dishwashers couldn't work for a long time, because the boss treated the employees too badly.

But even in such an environment, even if life is in dire straits, Xiaoying can only grit her teeth to survive.Because she knows that even a job of washing dishes is hard to get for herself now, and now at least she can make a living without living on the streets.

It was Master Wu who treated Xiaoying's wound. He helped her pick out the fragments from the wound on her hand, and then disinfected her with alcohol... There was no gauze in the store, so I only used two small band-aids to stick to the wound, and then continued to work .

Xiaoying is very grateful to Master Wu. Here, only this uncle is kind to her, can speak for her, and help her... The most rare thing is that Master Wu appreciates Xiaoying very much. After a few dishes, he would praise Xiaoying from time to time, and even tried to win over Xiaoying in front of the boss, trying to promote her to be his underling.However, don't look at it as a small restaurant, but as long as there are people, there will be intrigue...

The boss is extremely stingy, he only needs two helpers, and he already has them. If Xiaoying is promoted, it means that one of the two second chefs will be fired.Those two young men have worked in the store for a long time and know how to please the boss.When they learned that Master Wu intended to promote Xiaoying, they of course had to plan for themselves.Deliberately smear Xiaoying in front of the boss, trample her down, obliterate her credit, and make her worthless...

Master Wu was very annoyed by this. He thought these two second chefs were pretty good, but he was very disappointed by their attitude towards Xiaoying. He felt that he had been teaching them for nothing in the past few years.

The world is hot and cold, and people's hearts are not old.A small restaurant already contains all kinds of life.This will be the beginning of another period of Xiaoying's life. Although the people and things she has experienced are difficult, they are also a kind of tempering.

Even if you have a wound on your hand, you still have to continue working, otherwise the boss will definitely say that today's wages are gone.Xiaoying silently cleaned up the debris on the ground, put on her gloves and sat on a small bench to wash the dishes.

There was nothing in her dead eyes, like a puppet who lost her soul. Master Wu couldn't help shaking her head secretly with her mechanical movements... I don't know how much this girl has suffered. The fate is really unfair. The hardworking and honest girl suffered a lot. She was only under 20 years old and experienced a miserable life prematurely. Will she cheer up in the future?

At ten o'clock in the evening, the people in the shop had almost left, and it was time to close the shop.In the past, the two waiters were busy cleaning up, but since Xiaoying was called by them as a servant, closing the shop has become Xiaoying's job. After a busy day, she has to close the shop properly before going to sleep.

The thin figure was bending over and mopping the floor. The dim light reflected the masked face. When she lowered her head, the bangs on her forehead couldn't cover the scars.The scabs had fallen off a long time ago, revealing the bright red flesh. It was as if someone had scratched on a piece of pure white paper and ruined its beauty.

Silently mopping the floor, you have to mop both sides to clean it, otherwise you will be scolded the next day.The guests at the last table just left had not washed the dishes left after eating, so Xiaoying had to work alone until 11 o'clock before going to sleep. .

Such a tiring job would have been too much for others, but Xiaoying gritted her teeth and endured it, no matter how hard or tired she was, she never said a word in front of others.

The sound of footsteps came suddenly in the silent air, Xiaoying was slightly startled, and hurriedly turned her head to look...

"Master Wu? You haven't left yet?"

It was Master Wu who came out of the bathroom.

Master Wu nodded to Xiaoying: "Yes, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable, so I went to the toilet."

"Uncomfortable? Then...does it matter?" Xiaoying couldn't help frowning, showing concern.

"It's okay." Master Wu glanced at the store and sighed, "You are working alone again, and those people are too much!"

Some people complained about her injustice, Xiaoying felt grateful, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'm used to it, and doing more work is like exercising."

"You..." Master Wu sighed again, but there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.It is really rare for Xiaoying to think so openly.Many young people today lack the spirit of bearing hardships and standing hard work, but Xiaoying does not complain or complain, so she should be respected by others just because of her will.

Master Wu stroked the stubble of his chin, and said thoughtfully: "With your culinary skills, you are already qualified to be promoted to the second chef in the store, but... those two bastards are getting in the way. The boss also insisted on refusing, so you can only work as a dishwasher for the time being, but you have to know a word...you can't make a good job if you are in any industry, if you want to stand out in any industry, you must first go through a lot of tempering. When I was young, I was just a handyman under the master, and I became an apprentice after suffering a lot, and then I slowly became the chef. So, don’t be discouraged now, you just haven’t had the opportunity yet.”

After Master Wu's thoughtful enlightenment, Xiaoying's dead eyes lit up, and she couldn't help asking: "I really just lack an opportunity? Master Wu, you didn't mean to comfort me, did you?"

"Comfort? Hahahaha...you underestimate yourself!" Master Wu strengthened his tone with a smile, without hiding his admiration: "I have tasted several dishes you cooked that day, they are really good, compared to my It's so much better when you're young. You have a lot of potential in cooking, and... if I'm not mistaken, you learned it too, right?"

Xiaoying's heart skipped a beat, she was a little nervous, she stretched out her hand to stroke the hair on her cheek, and said softly, "I... I have attended a cooking class before."

In the dim light, Xiaoying's eyes could not be clearly seen at the moment, filled with pain and fear... Speaking of cooking class, she would think of Lu Zhehao, the man who brought her to hell.If it wasn't for being dragged into the racing car by him that time, how could she have been in such a tragic state...

It was an unbearable memory, the deepest pain in my life.The wound on the heart will never heal, and there is blood flowing all the time.

Xiaoying was wearing a mask, so others couldn't see her expression, but Master Wu still heard the clue from her slightly trembling voice... This girl has an extraordinary past.

Who doesn't have any secrets? Master Wu is not the kind of person who asks the bottom line. He cherishes his talents, so he treats Xiaoying differently. As for her past, he doesn't ask, and he doesn't care.

A complex light flashed quickly in Master Wu's small black eyes, followed by a touch of determination, as if he had made a decision.

"How about this, you and I hit it off, I have never formally received an apprentice, but if you want, I can accept you as my only successor."

Master Wu's deep voice spread out in the quiet air, carrying a strange power, making Xiaoying seem to see a ray of dawn suddenly.

"I...I..." Xiaoying was so excited that she couldn't speak, her voice was choked in her throat, and her thin body was trembling with excitement... It was such a surprise, I never dreamed that Master Wu would accept her as an apprentice ?

Master Wu didn't urge Xiaoying to answer, but just stood quietly waiting for her to digest the fact.

No wonder Xiaoying is so unbelievable. If this matter is told, other people in the restaurant and even the industry will be shocked... Shallow water can hide real dragons.Master Wu is not an ordinary chef. Before coming to this small restaurant, he was a chef in a five-star hotel and a well-known and recognized master in Sichuan cuisine.Many chefs take the initiative to obtain a chef certificate, but Master Wu does not need a chef certificate at all to achieve a height that many people in this industry cannot reach.He has become a representative of Sichuan cuisine with his exquisite and regional cooking skills, and his reputation in the industry is not based on his chef certificate.

Relevant departments have invited Master Wu to take the senior technician exam many times, but Master Wu declined all of them.In the end, the senior technician's certificate was delivered to his home in person.This honor is much higher than the chef who took the initiative to research.There are no tricks or pretentiousness, only to conquer others with truly excellent culinary skills, Master Wu is such a person.But why such a person chooses to find a job in a small restaurant, presumably, that is Master Wu's secret.
