the soul side

Cheng Yiming stir-fried the vegetables in the pot, and his ears were filled with the sound of chi-chi oil and the sound of the collision of pots and spoons.

Seeing the oil-covered garlic sprouts tumbling up and down in the fire, Cheng Yiming suddenly felt that something was missing.

After Chu Yiming left his life, it seemed that he also took away the magazines in his life. His life was too stable and peaceful.

But this is the life he wants, and he doesn't understand what is missing.

Another day passed, Cheng Yiming took the bus home, leaned against the last row of windows and looked at the neon lights and street lights outside the window.

He thinks the world is so big.

The world is not only everything in front of me, but also a far away place, completely different everything and a completely different person.

He used to be full of longing to live his own life, to be a chef, to learn a lot of delicious dishes, to save some money and open a small restaurant, if he has the fortune to make a fortune, he will naturally grow bigger and bigger, without that fate, he will be happy every day Cook food with heart, cook it for yourself, and cook it for others.

Share happiness and earn money to gain a foothold in this world.

Cheng Yiming is already on this road now, but he feels that this road is a bit empty.

After working for a week, Cheng Yiming resigned, and when calculating his salary, he was paid half a month's salary along with the time Chu Yiming was named.

After returning home, he dragged out the suitcase, wiped off the dust and began to pack his luggage. Li Hua stood at the door and watched him pack his luggage: "Son, where are you going?"

"Go back to City A."

Yang Hua opened his mouth, hesitant to say anything, they brought him back after repeated bombings, and together with their relatives and friends, they called every other day to accuse him of being ignorant.

It is reasonable to go back to City A after making such a big commotion.

Yang Hua sighed: "Go, go, Mom supports you."

Cheng Yiming froze for a moment, then continued to fold the clothes.

He waited for so long, and finally waited for her to say that mother supports you.

He was very sad, but he didn't feel moved at all.

His world became quiet, and his heart became a little cold.

The word family has been greatly reduced.

He took the ticket and got on the train, looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, he fell down in city A, and it was only when he got up in city A that he started and ended.

He had contacted the personnel director of Zhonghuayuan before, and he said he wanted to go back to work, and the personnel director welcomed him.

When he left, everyone in Zhonghua Court knew that he resigned because he couldn't bear the pressure from his family. Everyone had a good relationship with him. When he left, Uncle Yan personally cooked a table for him, telling him not to give up the school. craft.

When I was about to get off the train, the phone rang, and it was Uncle Yan calling, and when I got on the phone, I heard Uncle Yan's angry voice: "Boy, I heard that you are coming back, and I won't let Uncle Yan know anything about it. Where are you now?"

Cheng Yiming took out the ticket and glanced at the arrival time on it: "It's almost here."

"South Railway Station, right? Uncle is here to pick you up."

Cheng Yiming laughed immediately, and Uncle Yan was still as enthusiastic as before: "No, Uncle Yan, please don't bother me, I'll do it myself."

"Uncle said one thing, you just wait."

"Okay, then I'll wait."

Yan Jun hung up the phone and happily changed into the chef's uniform, looking at Lao Yang beside him, his tone was full of showing off: "My apprentice is back!"

Lao Yang glanced at him: "Look at you, be careful, you will be kidnapped by his parents again in two days."

Yan Jun didn't care about these things and said: "Anyway, he's back, what you said was wrong, I was right, he really likes this craft."

This apprenticeship was determined by Yan Jun himself. When he first planned to take Cheng Yiming as his apprentice, Lao Yang said that he had bad eyesight, and Cheng Yiming was not suitable for this line of work even if he was a Taoist, and he was not a cook by his looks.

Yan Jun was thinking about watching it again, but after watching it for two more days, he resigned and went home.

Yan Jun is 40 years old. He has taught many apprentices but has no real apprentices. He cherishes talents and thinks Cheng Yiming is very good. Are you really determined to do this when you come back for the first time?

When Cheng Yiming arrived at the station, he carried a heavy suitcase and walked to the gate of the South Station and stood there. He rubbed his thumb on the screen of the mobile phone and unlocked the page of the address book.

The three letters of CYM are particularly conspicuous.

Cheng Yiming dialed, and got connected after a while: "What's wrong."

This seems to have become the habit of the two of them talking on the phone. Chu Yiming always asks him what's wrong in the first sentence.

"I've come to City A. Didn't I work in Zhonghuayuan before? I asked the HR manager to let me go back to work."

"Well, remember to ask if there is anything I can help you with. Don't be polite to me."

Cheng Yiming held the phone and didn't know what to say. What Chu Yiming promised at the beginning was that I would help you, and now I will help him as I practiced, but why does he feel a little dissatisfied.

The voice on the other side of the phone was panting slightly, breathing heavily, and a strong discomfort hit Cheng Yiming's heart, and he blurted out: "What are you doing?"

"Run."

Cheng Yiming said dumbfoundedly: "Then you run slowly, I'll die."

After glancing at the three letters CYM on the screen, Cheng Yiming put away the phone.

After waiting for a while, Uncle Yan's car arrived. He loaded his luggage into the trunk and got in the car. Yan Jun reached out and held his head and pushed him: "Good boy, yes, he knows how to come back."

Cheng Yiming smiled: "I haven't finished learning Uncle Yan's recipes yet, so I'm definitely coming back."

After driving him to the staff dormitory, Uncle Yan told him to put the boxes and treat him to a meal. Cheng Yiming carried the boxes up to the fifth floor, and heard Zhou Ling's voice: "I'm cao! I'm cao! Cao! Cao! Cao! He's behind! There's someone behind, are you blind!"

Cheng Yiming pushed open the door and walked in: "You are screaming too loudly."

Zhou Ling ignored him and shouted into the headset: "Quick! Quick! Brother, kill him! Come and save me! I'm going cold!"

After struggling for a long time, Zhou Ling finally threw the phone away, looked at Cheng Yiming, and greeted Cheng Yiming calmly: "You are back."

Cheng Yiming still lives in the same place as before. There are no more and no less cooks in Zhonghua Garden, and the number is fixed. After Cheng Yiming left, he came to be an intern. Because he couldn’t stand Zhou Ling’s temper, he moved to the next door. Cheng Yiming’s bed has been vacant all the time. .

Putting the box away, Cheng Yiming hurried downstairs, and asked Zhou Ling and Sun Ya if they wanted to bring anything, but Zhou Ling didn't say anything, meaning no, Sun Ya asked him to bring two cans of happy water, and specifically asked him to take long cans.

Uncle Yan drove the car to a nearby restaurant with good taste and treated him to a meal.

Uncle Yan was relieved to see him saying only two words from beginning to end.

Uncle Yan drove home after eating, and Cheng Yiming walked slowly back to the dormitory with two cans of iced happy water.

After taking a bath at night, lying on the bed playing with the mobile phone, Li Ya was reading a novel while sucking happy water, and Zhou Ling was still playing games.

There are four people in their dormitory, apart from the three of them, there is another Zheng Daicheng who doesn't come back all year round. Brother Zheng is very social, and his life after get off work is colorful. He has a way to cook outside to earn extra money. Live well.

Cheng Yiming looked at Zhou Ling and Li Ya who were on the opposite side: "What kind of food have you learned in the past few months when I'm not here?"

Zhou Ling stared at the screen with wide-eyed eyes, and Li Yastandard lay on his side and looked at the screen with a smile: "I have learned, can I tell you? Are you stupid?"

Cheng Yiming looked at them both: "Cut."

When he arrived at Zhonghua Court the next morning, the familiar waiter greeted him with a smile and teased him about his departure. Cheng Xinyuan asked him, "Are you really not leaving?"

"Don't go."

Uncle Yan stared at him like an eagle every day when he started to resume the teaching that he had interrupted before restarting.

Cheng Yiming did not dare to boil the water for ten seconds to become 11 seconds, precisely keeping the gold standard of each ingredient.

After joining the job for five days, he fully integrated into the environment again, laughing and making noises every day, and it was over. Cheng Yiming thought that he still had some money left in his hands, and if he saved a little money, he would have a lot left over when he was paid next month. He thought If he wants to invite Chu Yiming to a meal, he can also advance his salary if it is not possible. The salary of the chef in Zhonghuayuan is a bit higher than that of ordinary office workers, which is enough for him to live on.

He also wanted to see him face to face, but he had only seen Chu Yiming in the mirror, never in person.

Call to express your intention: "Well, it's in Zhonghuayuan, I learned a few more tricks from the chef, you come and try."

But Chu Yiming said that he didn't have time recently, and he would talk when he had time, his voice was neither cold nor cold, and no emotion could be heard.

Cheng Yiming suppressed the disappointment in his heart and said yes, then hung up the phone.

Li Ya's eyes did not leave the words on the screen: "Who is it, it can't be a girl?"

Cheng Yiming looked at the three letters CYM on the screen: "No, they are friends."

Li Ya glanced at Cheng Yiming and laughed: "The expression of being rejected by a girl is nothing more than that, who are you lying to?"

Cheng Yiming lay down and did not continue talking with Li Ya.

He seemed to be sick and began to lose his taste in food.

Every day after that, he was waiting for Chu Yiming's reply. He thought maybe Chu Yiming would send him a text message today, saying that he was free today.

But half a month has passed.

Cheng Yiming also understood that Chu Yiming might not want to see him.

He used to be Chu Yiming, and stayed at home for half a month without doing anything. Everything was ordered by Chu Yiming to Lin Hui remotely in S City.

How can someone who can not show up if he doesn't want to show up don't have time.

But he was still looking forward to it. He wanted to see Chu Yiming.

It's not the Chu Yiming in the mirror, nor the Chu Yiming on the phone, but the real and complete Chu Yiming.

Cheng Yiming called Chu Yiming again to ask him to help: "I want to find a part-time job that doesn't conflict with working hours. You know a lot of people. Can you help me find out?"

Chu Yiming agreed, and sent him a message the next day. It was a part-time job that came to cook breakfast. He was only responsible for one meal a day, and he could leave after finishing the breakfast. The salary was too generous, almost catching up with his full salary. up.

The employer's name, address and contact information are all neatly attached to the text message.

Cheng Yiming looked at the text message and found that Chu Yiming made the distinction very clearly. He said he wanted to help him, so he helped him wholeheartedly.

But apart from this point, everything else seemed to be ignored.
