Chapter 8
Zou Chengfeng said sorry and exited the elevator.

After the elevator door closed, a yellow-haired boy caught up and asked him, "Master? Who were you chasing just now? Mr. Qin said to take us back to the hotel."

Zou Chengfeng was still in a daze. Thinking of just now, he shook his head and teased himself: "I misidentified the person, I thought it was Simi."

Huang Mao yawned: "Why did she come to such a place, let's go back quickly, I'm so sleepy."

……

The elevator reached the first floor, and there was a "ding".

Simi broke free from his arms, and Ying Quhe let go of her at the same time.Simi stepped out of the elevator and walked out, followed by Ying Quhe, and asked her at the side of the road, "Can you drive?"

Simi was taken aback, and shook his head: "I don't have a driver's license." She turned around in a panic and wanted to leave.

"Then wait for the driver to come." Ying Quhe saw her stepping out in a panic and was almost hit by a passing car, immediately grabbed her wrist, and walked back, "Didn't you see a car? Why are you panicking? "

Ying Quhe felt her hand tremble, and clenched it a little, trying to calm her down.

With lingering fears in his heart, Simi took a deep breath and explained: "Just now, that man just now, my elder brother!"

"Huh?" Ying Quhe carefully recalled that the man had a good temperament and appearance, he was an industry elite in suits and leather shoes.He lowered his body and looked at Simi's eyes: "Miss Xi, you once told me that your elder brother has a "fat head, oily face, bald head and big belly". When I saw him today, he didn't seem to match your description. You are blind, Or am I blind?"

Simi has always felt that it is embarrassing for the senior brother to agree to marry her, so the senior senior brother in her impression was blackened by her into an inappropriate appearance.What Simi didn't know was that if it wasn't for Zou Chengfeng, she might not have been able to escape marriage successfully.

She clasped her ears with both hands, looking eagerly at him to admit his mistake: "I know I was wrong, I know it's not good for me to lie to you, but my senior brother is indeed like that in my heart," she freed up one hand and raised two fingers Swear: "Really, I swear!"

Ying Quhe still kept leaning over to look at her, and stretched out his hand to pull one of her ears: "Miss Xi, please tell me what I look like in your heart."

"...You, you, you..." Simi stuttered suddenly with his ears tied, "You are tall and mighty in my heart, handsome and uncommon, like a white-clothed fairy descending from the ceiling to the kitchen. The clear soup is not demonic."

Simi searched his brain, and felt that such a description corresponds to the song and is very appropriate.

Ying Quhe withdrew his hand, stood up straight, and looked down at her from above: "Explain to me carefully, what is meant by 'making thick soup without staining, washing clear soup without demon'."

Simi felt uneasy standing near the ktv, she asked, "Can we talk while walking?"

Ying Quhe walked into the sidewalk with her side by side, the willows were lush, and there was a bit of moist vegetation at night.The figures of the two were slenderly drawn by the street lamps.

Simi explained: "It means that you emerge from the thick soup, but you are not polluted by oil, and you don't get a little bit of grease on your body. You don't look seductive after washing in clear soup."

It's a good one "to make thick soup without dyeing, to wash clear soup without demon".What a fairy in white clothes descending from the ceiling to the kitchen.

Are you sure it's not Sadako who descended from the ceiling at midnight?

And why should he bathe in thick soup, and why should he wash in clear soup?
At the end of the sidewalk is the bustling night market street in Jinyang.This street is a major feature of Jinyang. The buildings inside are antique and there are countless local snacks.

Simi's legs were out of control, she stepped into the snack street she had coveted for a long time, rushed to the food stall, pointed to the fried potato chips and said: "Boss, please have a piece of silkworm potatoes, no peppers, I will If you want sweet and sour, add more Zhe Er Gen."

"I'm curious about one thing." Ying Quhe stood behind her, and glanced at the dark pots and utensils at the food stall with distaste.

While waiting for the boss to fry the potato chips, Simi picked up a Cantonese sausage and threw it into the frying pan without looking back at him, "What's the matter?"

"Why do you like to eat this kind of junk food?"

The proprietress of the food stall interrupted with a sneer: "Oh, I said handsome guy, where is the junk food? You don't understand street food? We are the first silkworm potato in Jinyang. Do you know the silkworm potatoes with comparable taste? Do you know Yingshixuan? The big boss of Yingshixuan often puts us here to buy potatoes."

The boss mixed the potatoes in a hurry, Simi took the Cantonese sausage out of the oil pan by himself, brushed it with two layers of soy noodles specially made by the food stall, took a bite, turned his head and asked Qu He: "Do you come here often? Why? Don't take me?"

Ying Quhe changed the topic: "I'm curious that you escaped on the wedding day, are you considered married now? Is the one just now considered your husband?"

Simi choked.

Married people are crazy!
"We didn't talk about the marriage certificate!"

The proprietress handed the mixed sweet and sour silkworm potatoes to Simi, and when collecting the money, she interjected: "The little girl is not yet of legal marriage age, right? You young people really know how to play, and you are running away from marriage."

Carrying the snacks and leaving, Simi explained: "It is popular in our place to hold the wedding first and get the marriage certificate later, so I am single now! Single! Not a married person!"

"Oh." Ying Quhe brushed past her, patted her on the head naturally, said "very smart", and walked ahead.

The movement of Simi biting the sausage froze, and he rubbed the top of his head with the back of his fist, the hair seemed to still have the warm temperature.She chased after her and kicked Ying Quhe's heels: "Hey, do you eat silkworm potatoes?"

Ying Quhe dismissed it: "What's the difference between it and garbage?"

Simi walked around in front of him, blocking his way, "Try it, it tastes really good."

Ying Quhe turned a blind eye, walked around her and continued on.

There are fewer and fewer people on the street, and only the little girl's voice can be heard quietly.

"Yingquhe! Try it, you will love its taste!"

"You just have a taste?"

"As a chef, shouldn't you try any food? Pig food also tastes like pig food, and garbage also smells like garbage. Shennong tastes all kinds of herbs, and a chef tastes all kinds of flavors!"

Simi inserted a potato stick with a toothpick, brought it to his mouth, and rubbed it on his tightly pressed thin lips. His golden mouth finally opened, bit the potato stick, and tasted it.

The fried potato chips are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

"How is it?" Simi stood on tiptoe, pressed his fingers between his brows, and rubbed his frowning brows for him, "Can you stop being so stern? Eating garbage is like tasting garbage. You haven't loss."

Ying Quhe leaned back to avoid her fingers, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It tastes better than garbage."

A smile spread across his face.Simi was pleasantly surprised by this smile, and it seemed that colorful fireworks exploded behind her at this moment.

crackling.

Sitting in the car home, Simi was already extremely sleepy, his eyelids were clenched, and his head kept banging on the car window in his deep sleep.

Ying Quhe moved towards her, took her head off, and put it on his shoulder.The little girl rubbed his shoulder, and seemed to have finally found a comfortable way to sleep.

The ten-in-three competition is approaching, and Simi dare not slack off. She tries to practice various dishes in restaurants, and gradually masters the seafood skills taught to her by responding to the song.

Friday afternoon.Ji Donglin took Lao Qin and Xiao Ming to a restaurant to test dishes for Simi, and the nickname was: "Fan reunion gathering."Sago fried in six different dishes.In order to support Simi, the bald boss promised that if Simi could enter the top three, he would personally cook a roasted whole lamb for everyone to eat.

After the fan reunion meal, Ji Donglin sent Simi home. At the door of Ying Quhe's house, the big boy held his head and faltered and called her: "Goddess, can I ask you for a little favor?"

"Change your words quickly. If you call me a goddess again, I will really think I am a goddess." Simi looked at the shy boy in front of him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ji Donglin whispered, "Be my girlfriend for a day."

The faint sound of mosquitoes.

Simi only heard the word "Dang".She wondered: "What are you muttering about?"

Ji Donglin held his breath and almost shouted: "Goddess! Be my girlfriend for a day!"

Ying Quhe was walking the dog in the front yard, when Ji Donglin's car drove to the door, he heard movement.Ji Donglin's words were not low, but he could hear them clearly.

The sudden high decibel made Simmy shrink her neck.She picked out her ears and looked at him like a psychopath: "Do you have a fever?"

Ji Donglin took a deep breath, his voice gradually decreased, and then changed back to the sound of a mosquito.

Fortunately, Simmy could hear what he said this time.

"It's my grandfather's birthday in a few days, and he asked me to bring a girlfriend home, otherwise don't go back." Ji Donglin's cheeks were flushed, "I'm acquainted with two women in three dimensions, and one of them is you."

"Then why didn't you choose another one? Me?"

Ji Donglin: "The other one is Grandma Xiao Ming, do you think I won't be beaten to death if I take the old lady home to meet her family?"

Simi nodded: "It makes sense, what benefits do I have?"

Ji Donglin: "You are so short of money, two hundred a day?"

Simi: "Two hundred a day is fine, but acting... I can't guarantee it."

"Six hundred?" Ji Donglin looked at her suspiciously.

"make a deal!"

Simi pushed open the iron gate and saw Ying Quhe throwing the ball to Ulrica in the front yard. Ulrica perfectly caught the ball with her mouth and returned it to Ying Quhe.

The dog is very well-behaved, and it seems not so scary.

Simmy summoned up the courage to step forward and touched Ulrica's head.Ying Quhe asked her: "What was that kid yelling outside the door just now?"

"You heard everything?"

"What do you say?"

"I heard you still asked me."

Ying Quhe threw the ball in his hand, "You agreed?" Ulrica quickly chased the ball and slid it out of Simi's hand.

She clapped her hands and got up, nodded to him and said, "Yes, why not?"

A word choked up and made my chest tight.He barked "Ulrica", and the dog quickly dropped the ball in its mouth, picked up the leash on the lawn, and handed it to the owner.

Ying Quhe tied the dog leash for Ulrica, and led the dog away.

Simi looked at Ying Qu and Qing Jun's backs, and felt that his mood changes were so strange.

Angry?
What's so angry about this?
The dinner answering song and bowing their heads have not spoken.Simi muttered, "Master Ying, your temper is volatile, did your apprentice do something wrong again?"

Ying Qu and his index and middle fingers clamped the pages of the magazine, opened it, but still did not talk to her.

Simi boredly opened the WeChat list, and asked the food: "Bie Sun Dao, are you there?"

The cell phone on the other side rang.

Simi asked again: "Gie Sun said, come out quickly, I will pay you back."

The light-headed boss gave Simi an advance salary, and she can pay back the 9000 yuan.After paying back the money, she will be able to meet him frankly tomorrow.

The phone on the other side rang again.Simi lamented that the gods were in sync!
Gourmet Road replied: "I said I don't have to pay it back, it's the royalties for your recipes."

Simi: "Gourmet Road, I am not joking when I return the money to you, I am serious. You have never met me, but you are willing to help me in times of difficulty. You have given me a great favor, and I can no longer occupy you. It’s a small bargain. To you, 9000 yuan may be only [-] cents, but to me, it’s a few months’ wages. Therefore, I must exchange this money. The money has been transferred to you via WeChat. You Take it."

Gourmet said: "For me, it's just nine cents. Miss Simi, I'm also a very principled person, and I don't take other people's things for nothing. I use your recipes to make videos to attract fans for myself. I should Pay you."

The other party was stubborn and refused to accept the money, so Simi poked the screen and muttered: "Bie Sun Dao Bie Sun Dao, do you dare to accept money? Is it so difficult to collect money smoothly, a thousand-year-old tortoise little turtle? Nine cents is also money." ah!"

Simi realized that she was too emotional, and raised her head to meet Shang Yingqu and those sharp deep eyes.She explained with some embarrassment: "Master, I didn't mean to swear. This gourmet restaurant borrowed 9000 yuan from me to escape the marriage. I paid back the money but he refused to accept it. My heart is itching and my conscience can't bear it."

There seemed to be a smile in Ying Quhe's eyes, "Simi, have you ever thought that he would be very sad knowing you said that about him?"

Simi: "It's okay, unless he has a good ear. Master, you have talked to me. You are not angry with me, are you?"

Ying Quhe looked down at the magazine, "Why should I be angry, you are an adult and have your own decisions."

Simi folded her hands and lay on her arms to look at him: "Do you think it's too unprincipled and bottomless for me to be Ji Donglin's fake girlfriend for a little money?"

He raised his thick eyebrows slightly, halfway through the pages of the magazine between his fingers, he suddenly stopped.

"What did you say?" Ying Quhe finally raised his eyes to look at her, the snow in his cold eyes finally melted.

"I don't want to talk about it, anyway, your apprentice is such a money cat that can't get out of money." Simi pursed his lips, and made faces at him mischievously, as if he was provocative, as if he would not give up if he was not angry.

Both Ying Qu and his eyes were filled with deep smiles: "When I first met you, you were not like this. Now because you are my apprentice, are you getting more and more courageous?"

When I first met Simi, she was a timid girl who lost her shoe but was afraid to tell him.

What now?
The courage seems to be getting bigger and bigger, daring to make faces at him.

This is Simi, the Simi who dared to call him a dog on Weibo and called him "the grandson of the turtle".

Simi stuck out her tongue: "I didn't know each other before, but now I'm a master and apprentice. Shouldn't the master tolerate the apprentice's petty personality?"

Ying Quhe stared at her pair of crooked eyes and laughed out loud.

His skin is getting thicker.

Simi weighed pots and utensils in the restaurant all day, his upper limbs were a little sore, and the condition of his wrist was not optimistic.Simi tried to move his wrist while cleaning the tableware, and then patted it with cold water, the pain was relieved.Simi took a deep breath, and suddenly felt dizzy looking at the greasy tableware. She was already very tired after a busy day, and had to continue working after returning.

Although it is hard work, but thinking of being so lucky to know Ying Quhe, the little happiness will disappear in a single blow.

Simi grabbed a dinner plate, and as soon as his slender white hand dipped into the foam, his wrist was grabbed by Yingqu who came into the kitchen without a sound.He took out her hand and wiped the foam off her hand with a clean cloth, "You go out, I'll come."

"Ok?"

Simi's eyelashes fluttered in shock.

Asking to answer the song and wash the dishes, she has never been so whimsical since she moved in.

The man held her wrist tightly in his hand, his fingers with well-defined phalanges were slender and powerful, his palm was slightly sweaty, and his palm had a hot temperature unique to a man.

Ying Quhe wiped off the fine foam on her hands, and the hand holding her wrist did not let go, while the other hand held her five fingers.The warmth in the man's palm penetrated from her cold fingertips into the blood, spread along the five fingers to the bottom of her heart, and transformed into a sweetness like bee sugar.

It wasn't the first time Ying Quhe held her wrist, but it was the first time he touched her hand.

The sago root is red.

Ying Quhe asked her very seriously: "Recently, your wrist hurts a lot?"

She nodded.

"Pay attention to rest in the future." Ying Quhe held her five fingers and moved her wrist gently. "Staying in the kitchen for a long time, the rotation and bending of the wrist may cause ganglion cysts on the wrist. Rest if you feel pain. After working so hard to make money, is your family missing a bite of food?"

It was originally caring, but inexplicably turned into a harsh tone.Simi pursed her mouth and withdrew her hand.

Ying Quhe: "Go and rest, I will wash the dishes."

Simi couldn't get what he wanted, so Le Diandian went upstairs to try on clothes.

After half an hour.

The four-door wardrobe in Simi's room was all open, clothes were spread all over the bed, and several pairs of shoes were neatly arranged in a row.Simi finally picked out a red dress, cut it off and put it on the label. Simi began to try on shoes. After trying a row, the bright red flat sandals were the most suitable, showing the white instep.

Simi opened the makeup case, took out the lipstick, and chose a lower-key color that showed off the complexion.I found a basic makeup video on the Internet and tried it myself. It seems that eyeliner and eyebrow pencil are very suitable for beginners. She succeeded in one attempt and did not ruin the makeup.

The clothes were matched successfully, the light makeup test was successful, and after the lights were turned off, Simi lay on the bed and began to fantasize about the appearance of Gourmet Dao.

It doesn't matter if his face is full of pockmarks, he has a beautiful heart.

Simi dreamed that she was sitting in a restaurant, and the pockmarked Gourmet Road gave her flowers and a diamond ring, and confessed that she had a crush on her for a long time.Simi in the dream didn't know which nerve was wrong, but she nodded happily, agreed to Gourmet's proposal, and reached out to Gourmet to put a diamond ring on her.

It was originally a sweet dream, but Ying Quhe suddenly landed from the ceiling and kicked over the diamond ring in Gourmet Dao's hand.

The two pulled out a spatula from their backs and started fighting. The restaurant was suddenly filled with fire and ice. Lei Ting avoided the building, and the gourmet road and Ying Quhe fought from the ground to the sky.

Ying Qu and Da Sheng put their spatulas straight to the throat of Gourmet Road, and shouted: "How can my apprentice allow you to get involved?"

A smear of blood spilled from the corner of Gourmet Road's mouth, and he smiled bitterly: "Online dating also has true love. If you can't be a husband and wife with Simi in this life, then it will be in the next life. I will kill myself by swallowing the shovel. I just ask you to think that Simi is cute and let her live."

Ying Quhe: "She is my apprentice, of course I won't hurt her life, at most a dog's leg will be broken."

Simi looked up at the two men in the cloud, choked up and said, "Master, I have human legs, not dog legs!"

Gourmet Road put a determined look on his face, stuffed the spatula into his mouth, and prepared to commit suicide.

Similan held his hand and shouted: "No!"

Simi was pleasantly surprised from the nightmare and found that the pillow was actually wet.

Lie down and wipe.

So what kind of abusive dream did she have?She was tortured to cry?So why does she like gourmet food with pockmarks all over her face?

What the hell is true love in online dating...

After noon, Simi put on the little red dress and spent three hours getting herself ready.It takes about an hour and a half to get to Yingshixuan by bus.

When the bus goes to Nanshan, you can see the translucent and semi-enclosed antique building, the glass exterior wall is covered with wisteria flowers, the branches are unrestrained, and the flowers bloom without any rules, like a waterfall barrier outside the water curtain cave, through the gaps in the branches , you can vaguely see the screen in the style of Tang Dynasty ladies picture inside, and the ancient charm is ready to come out.

To enter Yingshixuan, you have to pass through a corridor of purple grapes.

At this time, the sun was westward, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the vines, and the spots of light shattered all over the ground, like fine golden sand.

Bunches of ripe purple grapes have lost their clarity when they were green, but they are still full of moisture and attractive.

As soon as Simi stepped up the steps of the promenade, the staff stepped forward respectfully and asked her, "Excuse me, is this Miss Simi?"

Simi nodded.

The staff made a please gesture: "Please follow me."

Following the young girl inside, Simi couldn't help but raise her head, a bunch of purple grapes were within reach, she swallowed her saliva and restrained her desire.

There are a few drooping wisteria flowers on the wooden plaque of Yingshixuan, and the gold-plated "Xuan" is half covered.Although the front hall has glass walls, it has a very high-quality insulation effect. As soon as you enter, the cool air spreads over the surface immediately.

Going around the front hall, and passing a small suspension bridge covered with wisteria flowers, you come to a spacious private room in the back hall of Yingshixuan.This place is very different from the refreshing decoration style in the front. The simple and heavy mahogany benches are paired with a square hot pot table. Red peppers and rattan peppers are boiling in the original large iron pot. .

The tableware is a set of blue and white porcelain, and the end of the wooden chopsticks is carved with a golden Xiaozuo.

The air is filled with the aroma of hot pot, and even on the opposite screen, there are strings of embroidered red chili peppers, which are lifelike.

On both sides of the screen is a waiter wearing a cheongsam, standing upright, the same height, almost the same fat and thin, and even the facial features are surprisingly similar, if she hadn't bowed to her when she entered the door, she would have thought they were wax figures.

The decoration style of the private room is too extravagant and high-end, and Simi feels like sitting on pins and needles.She asked the waiter, "Is my friend here yet?"

As soon as the voice fell, the screen was removed by the waiter, and a long mahogany dining table appeared behind it, filled with ingredients.Gourmet Dao was wearing a black chef's uniform, cutting vegetables with his back facing her. The crisp chef's uniform outlined his three-dimensional shoulders. The red apron tie became the watershed between the man's upper and lower body, and his long legs were clearly defined under the narrow waist.

This back view reminded Simi of Ying Quhe.

The sound of "tuk tuk tuk" on the cutting board echoes the sound of "grumble rumble" in the pot.Gourmet Road cut the potatoes into thin slices and shoveled them into the plate with the back of the knife. When he turned sideways, Simi saw his side face.

Simi's buttocks felt like an electric shock, and they left the stool almost instantly.

"Yingquhe!"

"Sit down." Ying Quhe continued to cut vegetables in a calm manner, "I promise to treat you to hot pot. As a gift, I will cook myself."

"..."

etc.what's the situation?
Simi was a little dazed, rubbed his eyes, and pinched himself, his shock was like a boiling hot pot.

Ying Quhe added: "I knew you were Xixiximi in the ancient town."

It was as if a pot of boiling hot soup was splashed on her face, and there seemed to be dense pain splashing on the hot skin.

So he's been secretly watching her joke?
Simi clenched the blue and white porcelain bowl tightly, forced out a smile: "Then, last night I scolded you grandson, how do you feel?"

After the last dish was cut, Ying Qu and San Sha Sha came over and sat down on the bench to the left of Simi, and the waiter began to bring the dishes to the table.Ying Quhe poured her a cup of herbal tea, "I'm sorry, I never had the right opportunity to tell you. I'm very pleased that you said you can understand me."

Ha ha, understand a ghost.

"Tonight, treat it as a surprise for you."

Ying Quhe took out a white gift box, the golden embroidered lace ribbon was tied into a bow, and the lace embroidery was reflected a little golden by the warm yellow light.

Hehe, it was frightening.Simi took the gift box with a smile and kept smiling: "Well, really, Dao Sun, I'm very, very surprised."

With a "bang", Simi slammed the gift box to the ground, got up and stomped on the gift box, the sudden change of mood caught everyone off guard.

"Ying Quhe, do you think this is fun? Do you always treat me like a silly dog?"

Simi's actions frightened the two waiters to turn pale.

Boss, this little girlfriend, has a bad temper...

It was only at this moment that Ying Quhe realized that he had overestimated Simi's ability to bear it.Simi was already so angry that her brain was congested, she clenched her fists and circled around the crushed gift box, like a little ant, one accidentally sprained her foot, Ying Quhe reached out to help her, but she kicked her away.

Simi leaned against the wall to take off his shoes, and threw them at Ying Quhe: "The turtle grandson said, if the watermelon doesn't show off its power, you'll think I'm a wilted grape? Return the shoes to you!"

"..." Ying Quhe reached out to grab the shoe she threw.

Simi was so angry that his eyes were red, and there was nowhere to vent his anger. In the end, he just looked at death as if at home, clenching his fists and jumped on the spot. his neck.

The waiters came over one after another to persuade: "Miss, if you have something to say, please speak up, don't do anything."

Ying Qu was tall and burly, Simi raised his hands to pinch him, his hands couldn't wrap his neck around him at all, and pressed his thumbs against his Adam's apple, trying to pose a threat.

Although the parts of her body that had been kicked by her did feel pain, but her neck-choking action did not pose any threat due to the dual disadvantages of height and small hands.Ying Quhe grabbed her wrist and pulled it off, "Okay, calm down."

Simi withdrew his hand with a "hum", put one arm on his chest, and took a few breaths.I was too crazy just now, but now I am physically exhausted, "I'll take a break."

Ying Quhe leaned against the wall, lent her chest as a body support point, looked down at her frowned eyebrows, and her reddish cheeks after strenuous exercise, her thick eyelashes fluttered and trembled, as if he was still digesting that he was Ying Quhe fact.

"The grandson of the turtle." After a long time, Simi called out.

Responding to Quhe's slight body movement, Simi immediately elbowed his chest heavily, grabbed the low-heeled sandals in his hand, and pressed the toe of the shoes against his chin, with a fierce expression on his face, "Don't move."

He reluctantly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

The waiter was dumbfounded, and the more he looked at it, the more something was wrong. From the conversation between the two, it was vaguely heard that they met for the first time today, and the relationship seemed a bit complicated.

Can't see the situation clearly, the waiter can only invite the manager.The manager brought in the security guard and was at a loss when he saw this situation. The little girl is the recently popular little chef "Xi Xi Xi Mi" on the Internet. After listening to the waiter's narration, the manager boldly speculated about the development of the plot.

After the last recording of the program, Xixiximi was very fond of the boss's poisonous tongue, so the two of them, for some unknown reason, made an appointment here to compete in cooking.

The girl is heroic.

Simi was about to talk to Ying Quhe when he was pushed away by two security guards.

Simi, whose anger had dissipated a bit, became furious again, kicking his legs in the air, "Daosun Dao, you're bullying me!"

The manager stepped forward and bowed to Qu He: "Boss, are you alright?"

Responding to the tune and tone slightly angry: "Who let you in?"

The manager is a little confused.

Simi was emotional, responded to the song and signaled the staff to go out.After the quarrel just now, Simi no longer has the strength to argue with Ying Quhe, and has no other choice but to accept.She sat back in front of the hot pot and prepared the dipping sauce by herself, mixing oily oil, millet pepper, minced garlic and green onion, kohlrabi, and crispy soybeans into a bowl of oil dish.

She picked up a piece of hairy belly and put it into the boiling pot. The rattan and red peppers were tumbling with the bubbles, and the soup splashed oil in the boiling water.Taking back the chopsticks, the hairy belly was covered with a layer of oil.The tripe is put into the oil dish and wrapped in a layer of dipping sauce, the crisp and spicy taste explodes the taste buds.

clap clap clap...

Behind Simi, there seemed to be countless red peppers crackling like fireworks.The hot stimulation made her want to stop, and the dipping sauce highlighted the crispness of the ingredients. The soup and the ingredients themselves should have taken a lot of effort.

Yingshixuan's reputation is well-deserved, this spicy flavor pales in comparison, as if there is no other flavor in the world that can match it.Simi can't eat such spicy food, crystal beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, his fair and tender face turned red, and he breathed in the cold air from his mouth. He was so spicy that he couldn't restrain himself from continuing to try. The desire, began to put duck intestines, beef, chicken gizzards into the pot.

The food was served with great joy, and the food was full of enthusiasm, and the grievances were put aside for the time being.

Ying Quhe poured her a cup of iced herbal tea.She took a sip angrily, and stared back: "Scheming man, shameless."

Ying Quhe was labeled as a "scheming man", and chuckled without any concealment, the corners of his mouth were sufficiently curved.He took out a tissue, handed it to her mouth, and motioned her to wipe the greasy circle around her mouth, "I thought you'd calmed down."

Simi clapped his hands away, "Is it funny? I don't think so at all! Take your hands away, who wants your tissues?"

There were red handprints on the back of his fair hand, which contrasted sharply with the blue veins under the skin.

Simi chewed lotus root slices in his mouth, stretched his neck slightly, and noticed the red handprints on the back of his hand with his small eyes, his fierce expression immediately collapsed, and the guilt came from his heart, a little distressed.

Especially the urge to hold his hand and brag to him.

As soon as Ying Quhe looked up, she immediately turned her face guiltily, withdrew her sneaky little gaze, and lowered her head to continue scooping up food from the pot.

There was a circle of red oil around Simi's lips, Ying Qu and kindly reached out to wipe her mouth, just touched the corner of her lips, the little girl immediately turned her face away, picked up a piece of beef roll, dipped it in millet pepper and stuffed it into her mouth.

The spiciness of the red oil soup base has been unbearable for many people. Simi ate a few millet peppers in one bite, choked on the extreme heat, and then was steamed by the hot soup, his eyes were red, and the food spit out in one gulp, tears never carry.

She was so hot that she cried.

Simi's nasal cavity and chest cavity were filled with fire-like pain. He opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, almost spitting out fire.The chili choked her heartbroken, and she clenched her fists and pounded on the table, which made a "bang bang" sound when she smashed it.

Ying Qu and quickly poured out all the iced tea in the cup, took out the remaining ice cubes in the cup, and stuffed them into Simi's mouth.

The cold object made Simi eager to suck, swallowing the ice cube and Ying Quhe's fingers in one gulp.Although the other party quickly withdrew his hand, Simi's tongue seemed to still have the warmth of his fingertips.

The ice cubes slowly melted in her mouth, and she sat motionless, with snot and tears flowing down uncontrollably.

Ying Quhe was afraid that she would resist, so he held her head with one hand, wiped off the red oil around her mouth with a wet tissue, and wiped her tears with another tissue.

Ying Quhe didn't go home with Simi because of temporary business.On the way home when assistant Zhou Ming sent Simi home, he saw her mouth was swollen and said jokingly, "How is it? Our boss has a good handicraft, right? He picks, dries, and processes the chili peppers himself. Ordinary people don't have the chance to eat them." Serving his hot pot, only you, a little apprentice, can be so lucky."

Simi stared at the back of Zhou Ming's head, wanted to say something but swallowed it back.

It was eleven o'clock when she got home, she only turned on a wall lamp in the entrance, took off her shoes and didn't even bother to look for slippers, and walked in barefoot in the dim light.

She almost slipped and fell on the stairs on the second floor. Fortunately, she quickly held on to the railing of the stairs and stabilized her body, but she seemed to kick something on her foot, and then heard a crisp sound, something shattered.

The headlights in the living room turned on for a moment, and Simi subconsciously covered the dazzling light with his hand.

Ying Quhe stood at the entrance downstairs, took off his suit, hung it on the hanger, unbuttoned a shirt, and looked up at her: "Why don't you turn on the light when you're back?"

Simi glanced sideways at the blue-and-white bamboo-stone-plantain-patterned vase at the corner of the stairs, falling to the ground and breaking.

Millions of vases from the Daoguang period, it was broken, broken...

In an instant, all confidence was sucked out, and her lower body felt as heavy as lead. The harder she pressed the soles of her feet, the paler her face became.

Pain in the foot is worse than heartache.

A huge sense of guilt swept over his whole body, Simi's body seemed to be sucked out by a vacuum cleaner.

There seemed to be a million dollars above her head pressing down on her.

It's all money, it's all money...

Seeing Simi standing blankly on the second floor, Ying Quhe had a bad feeling, so he went upstairs quickly, and saw the blood stains on the floor at the slow platform. Lying there in the same posture, decadent.

Simi looked at him timidly, his eyelids and lips trembled, and his upper and lower teeth chattered, "I'm sorry, I...I..."

Too much guilt and tension made her whole body tremble.Ying Quhe thought she was in too much pain, so he wrapped his arms around her waist, easily carried her downstairs, put her on the sofa, turned around to call for the medicine kit, and sterilized her before the doctor arrived.

Looking at the tiles pierced into the soles of her feet, Ying Quhe didn't dare to act rashly, and raised his eyes to ask her, "Why don't you turn on the lights and wear shoes when you go upstairs?"

She faltered for a long while without saying anything.Ying Quhe wiped her wound with a cotton swab. He moved gently and didn't dare to use force, "I overestimated your ability to bear it. I regret meeting you tonight. I should tell you after the game. You can only accept it now." , adjust your mentality well, and after a few days of competition, play well, show the viciousness you beat me tonight, and deal with the three chefs of the traditional group."

After that hot pot meal, her anger had already dissipated, but she was a little gloomy when she came back.After breaking the vase, her mood, which had been fluctuating all night and finally calmed down, began to fluctuate again.

This night she was like sitting on a roller coaster flying over a cliff.

"Actually, it doesn't matter." Ying Quhe seemed to see her worry, and said comfortingly, "A vase is not worth much. Zhou Ming bought it from the antique market for a few hundred dollars. If I feel sorry for this, I can write it down. IOU."

"QAQ..."

Alcohol seeped into the wound, and her wound seemed to be torn.Simi's lips turned purple from the pain, Ying Quhe immediately stopped, and asked her softly, "Does it hurt?"

She gasped, pursed her lips and shook her head, and said, "Gie Sun Dao, can you not lie? Dao Guangchao's vases are rare, even if they are high imitations, they can't be so cheap."

The tears in Simi's eyes were glistening, and he was very unlucky.

She let out a breath, and the words she hadn't said yet were interrupted by the ringing of the phone. The caller ID was "Boss Light Brain", and she answered the phone and let out a hello.

No one spoke on the other end of the phone, only the man's heavy breathing was heard. After a while, a calm male voice came from the other end: "Simmy, give up the game and leave Jinyang quickly."

Simi was stunned for a moment, and recognized the owner of the voice.

"Big...big brother?"

His elder brother, Zou Chengfeng, whose chef name is Lin Nan, is not only famous in the ancient town, but has also participated in some large and small international competitions.He is old man Xi's favorite student, the object of Simi's worship in the past, and now the most hated and disgusting person.

Simi's fingers holding the phone stiffened, and the body was slightly hot, but she felt as cold as ice.Responding to Zou Chengfeng's words, she asked a little unwillingly: "Why did you give up?"

"Don't move!" Zou Chengfeng shouted on the other end of the phone.

The bald boss yelled from the receiver: "Brother, tell Simi earlier, I thought you were robbed by the underworld."

Something seems to have happened to the two of them, the bald boss should have been... beaten up?Simi glanced and sat quietly beside her, staring at her response to answering the phone.She turned sideways and continued to answer the phone, her tone decisive: "Zou Chengfeng, tell the old man that I, Simi, will prove to him that a female chef can also have her own piece of land. I don't need to rely on the fame of the Xi family, and neither do I." need--"

Before she could finish her sentence, the mobile phone that was attached to her ear was snatched away by Ying Quhe.Simi stretched out her hand anxiously, Yingqu and palms down, pressed the top of her head, beckoning her to be quiet.

He said to Zou Chengfeng on the phone: "I am Ying Quhe, Simi is my apprentice now, if you want someone, please find me."

Zou Chengfeng: "It seems that it was indeed her that night. Mr. Ying, please return the phone to her. I have important matters to discuss with her."

Respond to the tune and turn on the handsfree.

Simi moved closer to the phone and asked him, "Just say what you want to say, you are 20 years older than me, I can't possibly marry you!"

"Nineteen, don't round up things like age." Zou Chengfeng was a little helpless, and said to her: "Master is already in Jinyang, and is invited to participate in the judges of the next competition of "The Taste of China". You can't win. Simi, big brother is doing it for your own good, I don't want your youth to be ruined here, you are still young, and the outside world is big."

The person on the other end of the phone paused and said, "I left a card here with the bald head. Remember to pick it up tomorrow. There is some money in it, enough for you to spend for a while. The password is your birthday."

"Hypocritical, if you really wanted to be good for me, you shouldn't have agreed in the first place. Thinking about old cows eating young grass makes me feel sick. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

Zou Chengfeng was a little helpless, knowing that even if he told Simi that he deliberately let her go on the wedding day, she would not believe her.

He still wanted to persuade a few more words, but the other party had already hung up the phone with a snap, and a busy tone came from the receiver.Zou Chengfeng returned the mobile phone to the bald boss and asked him, "Do you know where Simi lives?"

The bald boss glanced at him: "Can I just know where the girls live? I'm not the kind of boss who sleeps with employees."

……

After hanging up the phone, Simi's thoughts were a little confused. It would be a pity to give up at this point in the game.

She rested her chin on the pillow, looked up eagerly for a response, and asked for advice.Ying Quhe understood her eyes, but didn't answer her immediately, turned around and poured her a glass of lemonade, and handed it over, "No one can give you an opinion on this kind of thing, you have to decide for yourself, give up or continue, you make your own choice .”

Simi took the water glass and lowered his head, as if all his courage had been drained.

He went on to say: "Simmy, you are very explosive, and you have the stubbornness to not admit defeat in your bones. No matter what result you choose in the end, remember, don't bear it alone, you can share it with me."

Simi's eyelids trembled slightly, his chin sank into the soft pillow, and he began to fall into a tangled thought.On the one hand, she is afraid of Old Man Xi, but on the other hand she wants to continue competing. If Old Man Xi really participates, the chance of her winning will be very small. Is this battle really worth it?

This game has been a dilemma so far. There is an abyss ahead, and the hungry wolf is chasing after him. Whether it is a step back or a step forward, the result is very bad.

"If you really want to leave Jinyang, tell me, and I will arrange it for you." A series of doorbells interrupted their conversation, Ying Quhe got up and opened the door, and the doctor came in.

The doctor re-treated Simmi's wound, bandaged it, and told Yingqu and Jikoushi when packing up the medicine box. By the way, he said: "If the wound is not scabbed, don't let this foot fall to the ground. Hold it if you can."

Hug if you can...

Ying Quhe also carried her down just now, the doctor's words mean...you have to trouble Ying Quhe to carry her?

Simi was sleepy, and wanted to put aside the worrying things for the time being and take a good rest first.She got up and walked around the sofa, and jumped to the stairs with one leg. As soon as her hand was on the handrail of the stairs, Ying Quhe came over: "Hold you up."

She resolutely refused: "No, I can do it on one leg."

Ying Qu and his hands passed through her back, and Da Heng hugged her, "If the wound gets worse, do you want to sit and cook on the day of the competition?"

Simi's face seemed to have been smeared with a layer of pepper, it was hot like fire, and her heart sank and floated up, becoming acorn feathers and scraping across the heart wall softly, the itching sensation crushed her.

This night probably experienced the most turbulent emotional ups and downs in her life.

On the platform on the second floor, Simi saw the broken vase, her head was lowered due to the huge guilt, and she dared not look directly at Ying Quhe.As if seeing her little guilt, Ying Quhe almost whispered into her ear: "No matter how expensive it is, it is still a vase. Its existence value is nothing but to please the owner. This vase will be broken sooner or later. So don’t blame yourself too much.”

Money, it's all money.

Simi took a deep breath, and listening to Ying Quhe's words, she was glad that he was not an antique idiot.Otherwise, it must not be as simple as driving her out, and the sky-high compensation would be enough to make her burn out.

Probably because of the stimulation of the vase, she finally made up her mind at the moment of answering the song and kicking open the door: "I will continue the competition. I don't believe that old man Xi can cover the sky with one hand in the program group. You are the investors in this program. He can What are the means? Guisun Dao, we know each other so well, if someone intentionally tries to trip me up, you will open some back doors for me, okay?"

"Don't worry, my existence is to keep the show fair and just." He put Simmy on the bed and opened a rose lamp beside the bed for her.

Simi took a deep breath, leaned on the pillow and clenched his fists: "No matter how difficult and bumpy the road ahead is, I will go all out! Even if I can't win the championship, I have to draw a perfect ending for myself. I have confidence, I believe that I can be an excellent female chef, the annual salary can reach the ideal standard, I can pay off your money as soon as possible, and buy whatever I want!"

Ying Qu and the corners of his lips twitched, and a gentle smile floated in his deep eyes: "Very well, this is Simi who can yell at Food Dao until he has no power to fight back. Keep your wildness and leave it to the competition."

……

After returning to the room, Ying Quhe sent her a WeChat message: "You can be nervous, but you can't be timid."

Getting to know Ying Quhe probably used up all the good luck in Simi's life.Although he lied to her, he did help her a lot.Maybe it's because each takes what they need, he needs the apprentice's inheritance, and she needs to be attached to. This kind of relationship is a bit like the old master-student relationship.

If there are any other emotions, Simi really dare not ask for extravagance.

Simi leaned cross-legged on the head of the bed, lightly brushing the bandage on her feet with her fingertips, recalling Yingqu and her every move when treating her wound.It reminded her of when Ying Quhe carried her into the hospital in the ancient town and measured the size of her feet with the distance between his fingers. Mind turmoil like never before.

She covered her chest with her hands, trying to outline Ying Quhe's facial contours in the air. His deep and quiet eyes were suddenly blurred by a smile, and the corners of his lips curled into a curve. There seemed to be a beam of sunlight outside the window late at night. infiltrate.

Her hands clutched the front of her chest, and her heart was soft and sweet, like cream that was about to be melted by the sun, so soft that it was a mess.

Simi took a deep breath and rolled back and forth hugging the pillow, feeling hot all over and unable to calm down.

She's... already in deep trouble.

She is finished.

On the day of the "Taste of China" ten-in-three competition, Simi found herself the only woman in the top ten.

There are very few female chefs in the Chinese kitchen industry, and many people in the industry are as patriarchal as old man Xi.Before the start of the game, Simi swiped Weibo with cheap hands, and the comments of black fans unexpectedly raised morale inexplicably.

The three chefs in the traditional group were surrounded by their apprentices, beat their legs, rubbed their backs, and passed tea to their mouths.This is the charm of the chef, Simi took a sip of water, and began to fantasize about her goals for accepting apprentices in the future. She will not favor boys over girls, she just needs to be talented, one beats her legs, one back, and the other brings tea and water.

The fantasy was so beautiful, Simi couldn't help but smirk while holding the water glass, which attracted Li Cheng's attention: "Little girl, if you stop this competition, are you interested in being my apprentice?"

Simi shook his head and refused: "I have a master."

Chen Ming, one of the three chefs, joked, "Old Li, you think too highly of yourself. If this little girl beats you, why don't you call her master?"

Li Cheng choked back: "Old Chen, are you admitting defeat to the little girl before you start the competition?"

Simi turned around and continued to drink water, pretending not to see the "tear".

The program group notified the entry, and the ten contestants stepped onto the competition stage in order of ranking.During the process of taking the stage, Simi clenched his fists tightly, his whole body tensed up nervously. When he arrived at the designated position, Simi glanced at the judges' bench, and saw that there were still four judges, and there was no old man Xi.

Simi breathed a sigh of relief, and the host handed over the microphone: "In the last match, Simi narrowly beat Nan Qing. You can see that in this round, only Simi is the only girl left in the top ten. Simi, Are you nervous?"

"No." Simi looked firmly at the camera, "I will work hard!"

Host: "It seems that women do not give way to men. As the only woman in the top ten, can you tell me why you came to the show? What is the goal of your future efforts?"

Simi held the microphone, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and when he looked up again, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of starlight, "To prove that I love Chinese cooking culture enough, to prove my strength, to prove that female chefs are not necessarily inferior to male chefs .”

The live broadcast camera gave Simi a close-up, those firm eyes seemed to contain huge energy, waiting to explode at any time.

The barrage comments on the live broadcast platform are as usual for Simi:
"Come on, Xixiximi! Who said women are inferior to men?"

"Mu Guiying in the kitchen world!"

"The eyes are so firm!"

"Backstage dog, the slogan is quite loud and disgusting."

"The only woman? Hehehe, isn't it the only one who went up by sleeping with investors?"

"Investor? Hey! Pay attention to what you said earlier! The investor of this show is Ying Shengnan, who has a wife! The couple are very loving!"

"Hehe, who doesn't know that his wife is a fool, does she understand that her husband is cheating?"

"...Damn it, I can't control the power of the primordial! What a fart to watch a gourmet show! Tian Jian is my goddess, it doesn't matter if you pinch sago, please don't bring my goddess, thank you, be careful I smashed the computer!"

"..."

The game starts and the host announces the rules:
In this round of ten to three knockout rounds, go to seven and stay three, Xi Wendao, the intangible cultural heritage inheritor of Xi’s culinary skills, will randomly distribute the limited ingredients on the spot. The contestants need to complete the dishes within 60 minutes and enter the top three. Contestants will enter next week's Chef Competition.

A general list of ingredients appeared on the big screen, and the contestants found that it was impossible to evenly distribute these ingredients.For example, there are only six parts of salt, and only four parts of sugar. The rest of the main ingredients are good and bad, and it is impossible to distribute them evenly.

Xi Wendao took the stage elevator to the stage.The old man was wearing a black dragon pattern Tang suit, the gold silk dragon pattern on the cuffs soared domineeringly, lifelike, and his crutches were powerfully planted on the stage.

Xi Wendao had a gray beard and eyes like a falcon.When they came to the middle of the stage, the host handed over the microphone to tease: "The old man really came out domineering, with the style of an emperor. Before distributing the ingredients, does the old man have anything to say to the contestants?"

Xi Wendao's dark pupils were extremely sharp, he swept over Simi, retracted it calmly, and said, "No."

Host: "Okay, then I will trouble the old man to distribute the ingredients to the contestants."

Inviting Xi Wendao as a guest on the show, Ying Quhe didn't know about it, and the rules of the competition system also exceeded his expectations.Soon, the ingredients were distributed, and the ingredients in the hands of the chef were not perfect.

For example, those who get salt have mostly the main ingredients for making desserts.

For example, if you get sugar, the food in your hand needs a lot of salt.

The ingredients Simi got were jellyfish, which were not easy to handle, and there were a lot of seafood. Her main ingredients were rich and seemed to be very dominant, but she faced the biggest problem, no sugar or salt.

The ingredients for each contestant were announced individually, and even the judges' seats were in a state of turmoil.

Judge Yang Zong said: "Although I am very optimistic about Simi, it may be difficult for this girl to enter the chef competition this time. After all, the soul of cooking is salt. Without salt, it will be difficult for her to continue in this competition."

Lin Hua agreed: "This match is really something to watch."

Song Baoguo reserved his opinion, turned his head and asked Ying Quhe: "Mr. Ying, what do you think?"

"Look at her accomplishments."

Xi Wendao, the old fox, seems to have distributed good ingredients to Simi, but it has taken away the two most important flavors for Simi.

There are already a lot of black fans on the Internet, and the manipulators behind the scenes will definitely seize this point and attack her again.

How can she get the best ingredients?Why did Li Cheng, who ranked first, only get a small amount of meat and vegetables?Remarks like this, I am afraid they will make a comeback.

The competition system planning of this competition is indeed very exciting, but for all the chefs on site, it is a half-and-half competition between strength and luck.

Ying Quhe couldn't understand how the old fox treated his granddaughter like this.
