Qiu Xinzhi pinpointed the gap between lunch and dinner, and went to the alley.The reporter who followed him frowned: "Teacher Qiu, this place is hard to find, and there is no sign at the entrance of the alley."

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Xiaoxue said under the sun hat: "Wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and it is not difficult to find. There are many people. I heard that the dinner in this restaurant must be reserved at least three days in advance."

"After the cover is published, at least three months in advance." Qiu Xinzhi said confidently.

"Phew," Xiaoxue's ankle wrapped in high-heeled sandals was aching, "the chef put on airs before anyone even picked it up, and asked our editor-in-chief to come to a meeting on a hot day."

Qiu Xinzhi smiled good-naturedly: "Huo Zian's kitchen has a total of several people. He has to stay in the shop every day, and he can rest for two hours. It doesn't matter if we walk a few more steps."

Xiaoxue looked at the editor-in-chief as if she didn't know him. She had never seen Qiu Xinzhi's considerate look, and she couldn't help but feel chills in her heart.She tentatively said: "Sapphire's public relations have been coming over for these two days, and they want us to promote [-]-star chef Jean Ropruent. In terms of popularity and qualifications, he is definitely qualified to be on the cover." She knew that Qiu Xinzhi wanted to support Huo Zian. So he said euphemistically, "Why don't you two go up together?"

Qiu Xinzhi pulled his lips together and smiled: "Xiaoxue, are we running a grocery store? The more stock the better? We have to take a firm stand on this matter, otherwise this topic will be meaningless."

"Standing...does it mean the small shop in the alley?"

"It's true to say that. Jean is going to open a very powerful French restaurant in Qianmen, with an area of ​​2000 square meters. With his channels, resources and experience, this restaurant is not bad. But he has been playing this way for more than ten years. There are more than ten restaurants in the world, each of which has this routine, and every one of them is not bad, so if this routine is moved to Beijing, is there any benefit for us?"

"That's right, we don't need to flatter foreigners." The reporter echoed.

Qiu Xinzhi stopped in front of the stone lion outside the restaurant, and said: "It doesn't matter whether he is a foreigner or not. The biggest problem is that he has only ambition and no vigor. Huo Zian's reputation is far inferior to him now, but Huo Zian has courage and talent , if we want to stand, we should stand for these people with a future, right? This cover should be done well, to give our Chinese chefs a good reputation!"

Xiaoxue was shocked by this impassioned rhetoric.She didn't dare to say "wrong", but what she thought in her heart was that the truth is this, and the authority of the magazine should also be taken into account.The media praises people, and people have to live up to them. If Huo Zian is not good enough and the small restaurant is not well managed, wouldn't the magazine lose face as well?This is a risky decision.Since the W diary incident, the reputation of the magazine has been damaged, but Qiu Xinzhi has become more slanted, adding a lot of social reports, and began to discover some local newcomers and cutting-edge catering trends. The content is indeed tough, but there is no advertising revenue. Immediate effect.

But she didn't intend to argue with Qiu Xinzhi.Qiu Xinzhi likes Huo Zian so much that he doesn't even want to let him go, why bother?She said, "You are right."

Qiu Xinzhi smiled: "Hey, don't be like a little girl who has been pissed off. Chef Huo is a handsome guy. Didn't you just get dumped? Look for opportunities to hook up, and if you're not sure, hook up a Michelin three-star chef."

"Damn, it's obviously the person I dumped, okay?" Xiaoxue said angrily.

The restaurant was smaller than she had imagined, and the decoration was plain, she shook her head secretly again.At this time, the waiter came in from the yard.

Xiaoxue's eyes lit up, and her impression of this restaurant was immediately reversed.She looked at Qiu Xinzhi, but he couldn't even move his eyes.

"President Qiu." She called out.Qiu Xinzhi ignored her and just looked at You Liangchen.

Yu Liangchen said: "Huo Zian is in the yard."

Qiu Xinzhi saw him put his wallet and mobile phone into his trouser pocket, and asked, "Are you going out?"

"Ah."

"I'll go with you."

ah? !Xiaoxue and the reporter looked at him.Qiu Xinzhi said: "You heard, Huo Zian is in the yard, the one with the longest eyelashes. I'll go out for a while."

Xiaoxue roared in her heart: How about making the cover well?How about trying to win the praise of China's cutting-edge chefs?Didn't you just say that the stone lions were about to cry? Why did you run away with a waiter? !

Qiu Xinzhi didn't even look at his subordinate's face, he just secretly rejoiced in his heart: finally found the time to be alone with You Liangchen, and came to the alley under the 30-degree sun, it really didn't suffer in vain.

Then he said to the bewildered editor and reporter: "Talk slowly with the chef, and I'll be back in a while." He chased You Liangchen's ass and walked away.

The big sun cuts the long and narrow alley in half, one half is light and the other half is shadow.The two walked on their own paths, with a clear distinction, like two sides of a mirror, when Yu Liangchen walked fast, Qiu Xinzhi walked fast, when Yu Liangchen stopped, Qiu Xinzhi stopped.

You Liangchen looked at him: "Aren't you looking for Huo Zian, why are you following me?"

Qiu Xinzhi stalked cheekily: "I want to talk to you for a while."

You Liangchen frowned, decided to ignore him and continue walking.

Qiu Xinzhi followed, looking for something to say: "Where are you going, I will take you there."

You Liangchen wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind: "You can drive the car. Will you take me to Dongsicheng?"

Half an hour later, they stopped the car in front of an old residential area, and walked to a small building with twists and turns.Turning to the other side of the building, the two were shocked by the sight in front of them.

The red brick floor in front of the building was full of various items.Large and small clothes, pots and pans, magazines and letters, toothpaste, reading glasses, calendars, guitars... On a storage box with a bald head printed on it, a woman sits with her feet crossed, smoking a cigarette quietly .

The woman is thin and small, with big eyes, thinning hair, and sallow skin. She looks like a young girl in development, who is about to bloom, but lacks nourishment, and the petals are curled up before they bloom. , with signs of withering and yellowing.

She exhaled a mouthful of cigarettes, and looked at You Liangchen with a smile on the corner of her mouth.You Liangchen bent down, threw the cheap cosmetics scattered on the ground into a basket, straightened a chair, and looked around, but he couldn't sort it out. Finally, he picked up the guitar and saw that two strings were broken. placed on the chair.

He walked up to the woman and touched her head. "Where's your father?"

The woman pointed to the inside of the building: "It's still in the basement, and the noise is raging."

The sound of cursing and objects colliding came from the basement, and two more plastic bags of sundries were thrown up.

Qiu Xinzhi frowned: "What's going on?"

"Property needs to drive people away."

The quarrel below gradually subsided, and four men in security uniforms came out of the basement one after another, followed by two old men and an old lady.

A security guard kicked the plastic basin on the ground and said loudly, "Get your things in order, and hurry up!"

You Liangchen looked at them coldly: "Let's go, don't f*cking hands!"

The old man in the back was also provoked, "Damn it, you know how to bully honest people if you don't have any shit."

The security guard's face turned green, "You mother, put your mouth clean, if you don't leave, I'll beat you to death!"

You Liangchen was about to pass, Qiu Xinzhi hugged him quickly, and said in a low voice: "Don't make a scene." He shouted to the security guards: "Okay, buddy, it's not that bad for bandits to smash and loot. Let's clean it up." Pack up and go!"

Another old man interjected: "You can go, and the rent will be returned."

The security guard was impatient: "Didn't you tell me that the money is from the landlord." "Would the landlord give it?" "If you don't, go find him! It has a jb relationship with us."

The old man was speechless.The woman threw the cigarette away and persuaded in her native dialect, "Uncle, forget it, it's no use arguing with them."She squatted down first and began to clean up the mess.

Seeing this, the security guard left one person to supervise, and the others dispersed.

After the security guard left, the two old men got angry and had nowhere to vent their anger. They even quarreled by themselves, and the quarrel became more and more fierce.The old lady and the woman went up to dissuade, but added fuel to the fire.The woman's father blushed, picked up the bicycle pump, and ran back to the basement.

Qiu Xinzhi didn't like to watch this kind of scene at all, if he was not worried about You Liangchen, he would have turned his head and left.Seeing that the old man's expression was not right, he said to You Liangchen: "What does the old man want to do?"

The two followed into the basement.

As soon as I entered, I heard a loud bang.The old man waved the pump, slammed it around, smashed the glass, and smashed the wall.

You Liangchen and Qiu Xinzhi hurried up to dissuade them, but the old man went crazy and waved the pump like a golden hoop, and the two couldn't get close.

Qiu Xinzhi shouted: "Grandpa, stop! You can smash the wall with a bird, and that thing is strong. If you want to demolish the building, even if you smash ten pumps, you won't be able to make a hole."

After hearing this, the old man stopped.With red eyes, he thought for a while and ran to the kitchen.

Qiu Xinzhi and You Liangchen looked at each other and followed.But the old man climbed up the pool, found a hammer somewhere in his hand, and knocked on the wall.

You Liangchen came to his senses, "He's going to smash the water pipe!" The two immediately ran up to hug him.Qiu Xinzhi snatched his hammer, but it was too late, and with a bang, a large jet of water sprayed out from the gap in the water pipe, pouring them all over their faces.

A dozen security guards and women ran in together, and saw that the three of them were all wet, and water sprayed everywhere.The security chief yelled at Qiu Xinzhi: "Put down your weapons...we're calling the police!"

arms? !Qiu Xinzhi turned his head to look at the hammer in his hand, startled: "I... I... eh, no—"

The old man was watered and calmed down, but he was also scared.He lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

You Liangchen grabbed the hammer and said, "I smashed it."

Qiu Xinzhi was even more frightened, and stopped him: "Liangchen, this matter can't be—" Before he finished speaking, he couldn't continue.

For a moment, the whole room fell silent.Everyone's face was very strange, because they all smelled a strong smell.

Qiu Xinzhi was stunned, thinking, it can't be so unlucky.He looked at You Liangchen, uncertainly: "The gas pipe...is it leaking?"

Yu Liangchen nodded.

The author has something to say:

I was scolded again recently.I am a big Capricorn and I am serious. Whenever I am scolded, I get tangled up, and when I get tangled up, I want to do something.So as not to repeat the same mistakes, here is a mine-sweeping of the emotional line of "Sesame Mung Bean Garlic". If you have high requirements for emotional purity, you must read it.

1. Both ends have emotional burdens before they make up their minds.You Liangchen and the Beibingyang girl are pao friends + admirers, and Huo Zian's is the real girlfriend.The girlfriend will appear in this part, and then the three of them will fight for a while.Because it's all the feelings of mature adults, it won't be too abusive or bloody, it's just normal cheating (throwing rotten eggs...)

2. The meat in the first scene is BG (I said don’t throw rotten eggs...) It is short and subtle (do you believe it?), but it is not meat for meat, which is a key point in the development of the plot.

3. Lao Qiu, mainly for leading the way.It's not cannon fodder, and there won't be any real emotional lines (a moment of silence for the editor-in-chief).But he has a strong sense of existence, and he has to mess with everything. He is everywhere. I don’t like this character, and there is nothing I can do about it.

It seems that there is no more... If this is your thunder, I have to ask you to detour with tears in my eyes.

To be very honest, I am serious about writing this article, as well as writing all articles.I don't expect to make money by writing articles, and I seldom even read articles, so I don't know what readers like, what to say, and what kind of expression can be effective... To write such articles, with my current level, I have exhausted my understanding The understanding of society and people is already exhausted, and I can't even think about what kind of development the young masters like to see.

In the final analysis, writing novels is more of my hobby and my self-confidence. When I can get the approval of readers, I feel like meeting an ally who loves to eat pizza and drink beer. , I am really happy and grateful to be followed and liked by you. Please forgive me if I am not thoughtful.
