Chapter 85: 決定
[Decision]
Chen Xing made up his mind, thinking of tomorrow, how to find Gu Lang to make or say it clearly, thinking of Gu Lang happy look, he felt very happy in his heart, hugging the quilt as he turned a few times, and then fell asleep beautifully.
The next day, Chen Xing got up early in the morning, and when he went to the kitchen in high spirits, cooked porridge, steamed up the fragrant meat buns, Qiu Jiu only came in with a grumble.
Looking at very diligent Chen Xing, although Qiu Jiu was startled, but not too surprised. After all, he sometimes gets up quite early, this time, this is also not weird.
Chen Xing greeted Qiu Jiu, who was still rubbing his eyes and yawning, and then said cheerfully, “Qiu Jiu, this congee will be ready in an hour, so remember to ask Gu Lang to get up later.”
Qiu Jiu heard this but immediately came to his senses and looked at Chen Xing and said, “That’s right, I almost forgot. My family’s young master went out early in the morning and said he would not be back until this afternoon, so there is no need to keep breakfast for him.”
Chen Xing, who was still staring at the steamer, calculating how to talk to Gu Lang later, froze and turned his head to look at Qiu Jiu as he stupidly said, “He went out already. Why did he leave in such a hurry, why didn’t you follow him?”
Qiu Jiu’s eyes flashed, shook his head, showing ‘I don’t know’ expression and said guiltily, “It seems that he went to look for a friend, and since this matter was not something important, he went there alone.”
Because Gu Lang was not there while Chen Xing who was somewhat disappointed, completely did not notice Qiu Jiu said this with a somewhat guilty conscience look, he just lowered his eyebrows, and answered in a low voice, “Oh, why didn’t you say any word to me?”
Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing’s disappointed look, pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment or did not disclose his family young master’s whereabouts.
Anyway, he will be back in the afternoon, it doesn’t matter if he knows where he is going, right? Qiu Jiu thought so, completely unaware of Chen Xing’s frustration at the moment for not being able to see Gu Lang because he was holding back a lot of words he wanted to tell him.
After breakfast, Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu counted the stock of jelly and fruit wine in the warehouse, and selectively brought some to the small hotel. Once they entered through the back door, they were greeted by a crowd of people who had long been busy.
Seeing that the shopkeeper had arrived, Auntie Zhao, who was still washing vegetables, and the newcomer Auntie Li greeted him with, “Good morning, Little Boss!”
“Good morning to you all!” Chen Xing asked, and then headed towards the back kitchen, asking Xiao Wang and Qiu Wu and Qiu Shi to put the jellies and wines they had delivered at the front desk so that they could be sold later when the shop opened.
Waiting for them to finish these, Chen Xing then looked at Xiao Wang and Qiu Shi in the back kitchen and said: “Today the big boss is not in, later the back kitchen will be handed over to you, I hope that you can perform well, if there is anything wrong, immediately come to the front to find me!”
“Yes!!”
“Yes.”
The two replies were different from each other, the former Xiao Wang’s reply was full of energy, the latter Qiu Shi’s reply was calm and sophisticated.
Xiao Wang is particularly or extremely excited, he originally came here as a chef, although he has thought or intention bof learning some cooking skills. However he did not expect the proprietor would treat him so well, not only when he cooked the dishes, he did not hide it from them, even when they did not understand, he would also point some clues or hints. Now even letting him handle the cooking, he felt that he had been fully approved by the little boss. He felt that although he could not be as good as Little Boss in cooking within a period of time, he would definitely be able to do so later in time!
Compared to Xiao Wang’s overstimulated feeling, Qiu Shi on the other hand was much more calm, he looked at Chen Xing who had high hopes for them in front of him, responded and then continued, “I will work hard.”
Hearing their commitment, Chen Xing nodded with satisfaction, these days, in order to be able to relax a little yet not less training (teaching Xiao Wang and Qiu Shi), basically the shop, in this period of time, the dishes will be between seven or eight in total. They know a lot about it, and as long as they follow what he usually teaches them, they’ll never ruin their shop’s reputation. If the guests want to eat additional dishes, and when they can not handle it, just leave it to him again.
Thinking this way, Chen Xing went to the front desk with peace of mind, ready to clean up the front desk and ready to start the business. Just when he arrived at the front desk, found that the top of the desk was so clean and tidy and the books that Gu Lang had read in the past few days were piled up in the corner.
Chen Xing looked at the front cover of the books, guessing that it is a few travelogs, or biographies and such, he gently patted the cover, wanting to put them in the drawer under the counter, lest he accidentally dirty it later.
Who knows that as soon as he picked it up, a piece of paper fell down inside, Chen Xing felt strange, picked it up and looked at it, but it was two small people holding hands, ambiguous gestures, even if the technique is simple, the style of painting is as he please or at his own will, but at first glance he could see that the person painted on it were himself and Gu Lang.
