The Male Wife

The steward, who was still holding a little bit of luck, suddenly felt ashamed. He looked at Jiang Linzhi with a disgruntled face, and said blankly: "Could it be that the second master didn't give the villain a chance?"

"I have given you time for several years." Jiang Linzhi was not moved at all, he had given time and opportunity, but this person doesn't cherish it, and he can't blame anyone.Just like what he said just now, there are seniors and juniors in charge, so they have to obey Xiyuan's orders, but why not him.

From a month ago, Jiang Linzhi didn't care about the dead old man, let alone the three shops he left for him, and naturally he didn't care about the steward's betrayal of him.

But it's different now.

Jiang Linzhi glanced at Pei Cheng and the little guy he was holding in his arms, then looked away without a trace, and said, "Pack up your things and go back."

The steward stood up sadly from the ground, turned around and left in a panic, probably because he thought that what happened just now had hit him too hard, so the steward left in very chaotic steps, and almost fell to the ground when he reached the door.

The door of the private room was opened by the steward, and then closed again heavily.

Because the sound was too sudden, it immediately frightened the guests who were still eating on the second floor. The guests were startled first, and then cursed.

The steward still took care of these things, his mind was muddled, he held on to the handrail of the stairs with trembling hands, and walked down the stairs slowly with shaking legs, his face pale and disfigured.

"What's wrong with the steward, why did he go upstairs and come down like this.

"It's all right, is there something wrong?"

The guests noticed that the steward's expression was not right, and they started talking in low voices.The nature of Chinese people is like this, they love to watch the excitement and gossip.Anyway, as long as things never happened to them, they would never take these things to heart, and even take pleasure in it.

Mr. Accountant noticed that something was wrong with the steward, and he hurriedly put down the pen in his hand. Mr. Accountant had been paying attention to the affairs upstairs. Like the steward, he had already taken refuge in Hu Xiayun. When Jiang Linzhi appeared in the restaurant with a dark face, Mr. Accountant felt that something was wrong. "What's the matter with you? Could it be that the second master upstairs...knows something?" The accountant took the hand in charge, and said with an uneasy expression, they are all men who want to support a family, and no one wants to be punished by others. Lost job.

At least Mr. Accountant doesn’t want to see himself going downstairs one day in a state of desperation like the manager is now, and then says to himself: “He told me to go back.”

Although the accountant had already guessed the reason, he couldn't help showing a sad expression on his face when he saw the steward. He swallowed, "Could it be that there is no chance at all? The master at Xiyuan , why don't we go and beg her, after all, if she hadn't threatened us back then, we wouldn't have given our lives to her."

The steward shook off Mr. Accountant's hand and sneered, "From the time the master upstairs appeared, you should know that the master in Xiyuan has given up on us."

Mr. Settlement looked at the back of the manager leaving the restaurant without looking back, he bit his lower lip, turned around and walked to the counter, pretending to be nonchalant and continued to settle the accounts.

The guests around couldn't help sighing when they saw that the steward had left, and the accountant had only said a few words before going back to count his money.

Mr. Settlement looked down at the account book in front of him, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't settle the account at all.

The second floor.

Xiao Er carefully pushed open the door of the private room, holding a piece of sweet cake in his hand, and said: "This is a cake that has just been steamed in the kitchen. There are salty cakes and sweet cakes. Please, my two masters."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Er saw several plates of pastries on the tray, and then looked at this and then that, seeing that they didn't care about what he meant, so she left in disappointment.

Pei Cheng looked at the hot cakes in front of him, and his mouth curled up. Ever since Jiang Linzhi found out about his liking for sweet cakes, no matter what time it was, there was always a steaming cake in his room. sweet cakes.

Not to be moved, Pei Cheng thought it was impossible.But if he said it was very exciting, he felt that it was even more impossible.

He didn't think he would like a weirdo with a moody mood.

I will never fall in love with someone I didn't want to see so much.

Jiang Linzhi didn't have much appetite for the sweet cakes and salty cakes in front of him. They were originally specially ordered for Pei Cheng, and he didn't like them.

Pei Cheng coughed dryly, and signaled Donglai who was standing waiting with his eyes to let him leave first.

Donglai understood, walked up quietly, picked up Jiang Yanzhi who was already asleep, carefully carried him to the low couch in the private room, and then covered him with a soft quilt.

Jiang Yanzhi moved uneasy in his sleep.

Pei Cheng said: "Second Master is so angry today, is it because he is planning for the future?"

"Since I have already guessed it, why bother to ask again." Jiang Linzhi was not in a high mood, "After returning to Jiang's house, there may be more difficult things to deal with."

As soon as Jiang's family was mentioned, Jiang Linzhi couldn't help but think of Zhu Daochang who Donglai told him two days ago. People's suspicions—suspecting that he is a Taoist priest without real materials.

Jiang Linzhi stood up and said, "Go to the kitchen and look around, Mrs. Lao will come here to see more in the future."

Pei Cheng didn't expect that what Jiang Linzhi said before was serious, he paused, quickly followed, and the two walked side by side towards the backyard, Pei Cheng said: "Second Master really planned this way ?”

Jiang Linzhi couldn't understand the meaning behind Pei Cheng's words, but he didn't say anything. He turned his head and said indifferently: "Could it be possible that Madam thought that what I said two days ago was lying to you?"

Pei Cheng's footsteps stopped, and he stared at Jiang Linzhi's back in a daze, feeling a little complicated.

Not knowing what to say, Pei Cheng felt that he couldn't see through Jiang Linzhi.

Jiang Linzhi didn't seem to care much about these three shops, and he didn't care what the Jiang family did to the East Courtyard at all.Pei Cheng had a hunch that if it wasn't for...Jiang Linzhi wouldn't have remembered these three shops at all.

Thinking of this, Pei Cheng suddenly didn't have the mood to go to the backyard to see it.

Jiang Linzhi turned his head to look at Pei Cheng, and motioned him to follow with his eyes. Pei Cheng pursed his lips, raised his feet and followed quickly.

It's not an important person in the first place, so why take it too seriously.Pei Cheng comforted himself from the bottom of his heart.

The place in front of the restaurant that can accommodate customers is not big, so the backyard is naturally not that big, so the few people came to the kitchen in the backyard after walking for a long time.

There were only three people busy in the kitchen, the chef who was in charge of big dishes, the apprentice who was in charge of cold dishes, and the little boy who was helping.The three of them were sweating hotly in the kitchen in the cold weather.

Xiao Er stood at the door and said loudly: "Master Wang, Master Wang, the second master is coming to the back kitchen to have a look. Don't be too busy with your work, come out and see the second master."

In the kitchen, Master Wang stopped cooking and continued cooking with a blank expression. The other two heard Xiao Er's voice and wanted to come out, but they didn't dare to go out first because of the chef's expression.

A group of people were deadlocked like this.

Xiao Er rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and walked into the kitchen quickly. After talking, the chef came out with two helpers, but his tone was not good, "There are a lot of orders in the back kitchen, where do I have time?" Come out and meet people."

Pei Cheng put his hands behind his back and looked at the chef lukewarmly. Although he didn't know much, he could tell that the chef didn't want to see them in his heart.

Pei Cheng sneered from the bottom of his heart, originally thought that Hu Xiayun was only controlling the steward, but he didn't expect to control even the chef. I really don't know when that woman's appetite became so big.

Jiang Linzhi didn't speak, and glanced at the chef with indifferent and deep eyes, his eyes were full of biting haze.

The chef flinched, and didn't dare to put on the show, but he didn't lose face, and his tone became better, "Second Master, the slave still has a lot of work in there, if you have nothing to do, please ask Second Master to go back first. , this back kitchen is not for guests like you to come in, so as not to dirty your shoes."

After finishing speaking, the chef turned around and left without waiting for Jiang Linzhi's reaction.

When the chef came to the door, Jiang Linzhi said indifferently: "Remake two sweet cakes and send them to Jiang's East Yard."

The head chef froze, looked at Xiao Er, and said, "Second Master, I'm afraid you don't know that the servant is only responsible for cooking hot dishes in this restaurant. Although he also makes pastries, he only makes five servings a day at most. Today the servant The prescribed five copies have already been made, if the second master likes it, I will send it to the mansion after the servant makes it tomorrow."

Xiao Er kept complaining, the chef's temper was usually spoiled by the steward, he was so stubborn that he would die, and he didn't even look at who Second Master Jiang was!

The chef didn't care what Xiaoer was thinking, he straightened his neck and continued, "If there's nothing else to do, the servant will go back and continue cooking."

Jiang Linzhi said lightly: "I let you go?"

The chef turned around, looked at Jiang Linzhi in disbelief, held back his anger and said, "Then what else is the second master planning. This rule is set as soon as the slave enters the restaurant. Is it possible to change it now?"

"Who made this rule with you?"

The head chef couldn't hide his pride: "Of course it's the old man."

"This restaurant used to belong to my father. You are his cook, so you are right to listen to him. But now this restaurant belongs to me." Jiang Linzhi looked at the chef indifferently.

The chef was not happy, "Second Master, don't go too far. The slave was willing to enter this restaurant because of the promise made by the old man. If the Second Master wanted to overthrow the previous rules, the slave really couldn't do it."

Jiang Linzhi sneered, not paying attention to the chef at all, he said, "Come from the East."

Dong Lai took a step forward, "I understand."

Jiang Linzhi turned around and returned to the original road, Pei Cheng was startled, and then quickly followed.

Dong Lai smiled slightly, walked towards the chef, and said: "Since... Please Master Wang and the slaves go to Mr. Accountant to settle your salary."

Xiao Er exclaimed.

The chef's expression changed again and again, and finally roared with red eyes: "Okay, okay, okay! My old Wang has helped this restaurant to attract diners for several years, and it's actually... just change it if you want, it's really good!"

Dong Lai smiled and said nothing, the chef doesn't know how to wink, even if he really stayed, it would be making himself guilty.
