Luting Canteen

Chapter 8 Afternoon

Yan Ting picked up the pair of dark blue trousers that were still lying in the washbasin, water trickled down the folds of the clothes, and the oil stains on the bottom of the trousers were still there. Li Hui didn't know what to use to wash the clothes, probably he kept trying hard with his hands. Rub it, the dirty place is even fluffed up.Yan Ting got some dishwashing liquid from the kitchen and applied it on it, scrubbed vigorously for a while, waited until the oil stains disappeared, wrung out the water and started shaking, thinking that Li Hui was sleeping, went around to the balcony of the bedroom to open the window It was troublesome to hang it in the air, so I went to the yard.

"Boss, where's Li Hui?"

Chi Yeqi asked as soon as he saw Yan Ting coming out, and Tang Meng closed the book and turned around.

"Sleeping."

As usual, the two of them would do what they should do after dinner, and come back when they have time in the evening, but today they sat alone while waiting for Yan Ting, seeing both eyes staring at him, Yan Ting felt a little Funny, I reached out and handed the wet pants to Chi Yeqi:

"Find a cleaner branch and hang it on."

"Hey, why do you want me to hang up, I'll go! Boss, can you wring it out!"

As soon as Chi Yeqi took the trousers, small water droplets ticked all the way along the table.While complaining, he looked at the locust tree and saw a twig stretching towards the gate of the courtyard. Chi Yeqi asked Tang Meng for a paper towel to wipe off the dust. He raised his hand to throw his pants up. Live book:

"In the future, why don't you hold a rope? You can still dry clothes when there are no guests. In the current weather, it should be dry after half a day."

"On the Internet, I saw that there is a clothes drying machine that looks like a disc."

"You mean the kind that can be transferred from above? I saw it in Xiaowei's yard last time, and it was quite convenient."

"My dear mother and father, can you two wait to discuss a big addition to the family?"

Yan Ting glanced at Chi Yeqi:

"Don't bark, you'll have to give you New Year's money if you bark for Chinese New Year."

"I just want to ask, what's the matter with Xiao Lihui? Boss, don't you think he reacted too much when he dropped a plate? Even if it's the first day of work here, it won't be too much, right? Could it be," Chi said with a straight face. Ye Qi continued: "Because he is an ancient person, so he has seen through your cruel nature."

Seeing that Yan Ting raised his hand to pat him again, Tang Meng coughed and said, "I think so, maybe something is wrong, but I wonder if this kid Li Hui has been treated badly?"

Tang Meng still expressed his thoughts in a gentle tone. Chi Yeqi didn't make a sound after listening, and tapped the back of the phone with his fingers. Both of them were waiting for Yan Ting to speak, but this person didn't say anything.

Tang Meng also knew that Yan Ting was very interested in Heng Le Lou.It is said that Yan Ting's ancestors also participated in the design and construction of the building that has been praised in the history of architecture.Yan Ting and Tang Meng have known each other since they were young, and Chi Yeqi, who is a few years younger than them, also grew up with them, so they know more or less about the affairs of the other party's family.Every few generations of Yan Ting's family, there will always be one or two architects, and many buildings have been involved in the construction. The library in Chiyeqi School was designed by Yan Ting's grandfather, and Heng Le Building is very important to them. Like a huge invisible medal, it is deeply engraved in this home.Engaging in architectural design in the future has naturally become the only choice of Yan Ting's parents for the future life direction.Yan Ting didn't think there was anything wrong with this, since she was still young and had no other goals in life.But what really made him interested in architecture and Henglelou was that once his grandfather paid him to go to Jinju, which was Gangneung in the past.Because it was the former imperial capital, it was developed into a tourist attraction. When Yan Ting was about to turn 19, he stood alone in front of the half-walled pavilion of Hengle Building. Suddenly, I feel that no matter how ingenious the building is, without the people living inside and the daily things that come and go, it will lose a lot of reality and freshness.That is to say, from then on, as long as it was related to Hengle Building, whether it was official history or unofficial history, Yan Ting would read it.So Tang Meng and Chi Ye Qicai took it for granted that Li Hui was left behind.

"Tang Meng is right," Yan Ting said suddenly, after some consideration, he said, "The little guy probably was afraid of being punished when he was working."

Leaving aside the scars on Li Hui's back, on the one hand, it is for Li Hui to guard the things he is reluctant to say; on the other hand, Yan Ting really doesn't want to talk about Li Hui's body to others. As for the reason, he I thought maybe it was that night that he already regarded himself as Li Hui's number one protector.

"Well, there are still quite a lot of such things now, forget it, let's not mention today's matter, so that little Li Hui can feel more at ease."

Chi Yeqi lay down on the table, with his long arms swaying there, Tang Meng patted his hand lightly and put it aside so as not to press his book, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Qi is sensible again."

When Chi Yeqi heard it, he shook Tang Meng's hand:

"Uncle Tang, can you call me that again? It's been a long time since you called me that."

"That means you haven't been sensible enough."

Yan Ting added from the side, stood up and stretched his arms, did not notice that Tang Meng's eyes were flickering, and continued to say to Chi Yeqi:

"You don't need to come tomorrow morning, I'll tell the little guy to go to the vegetable market with Tang Meng." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the cafeteria, and Chi Yeqi poked him a few times in the virtual villain's heart.

After Li Hui woke up, he didn't expect that he could help in the kitchen at night.Not only that, Yan Ting also asked him if there was any dish that he really wanted to cook. After thinking about it carefully, although there were too many, but now he especially wanted to make pancakes.

"Did you do it in Hengle Building?" Yan Ting asked.

"Do, did."

Answering with a guilty conscience, Li Hui did not dare to look at Yan Ting.In fact, I thought of making this because I remembered that the master once made it for everyone in the kitchen.Usually, the brothers take turns serving meals for them, but the master chef made the pancakes himself for some reason that time.The taste of the cake was very similar to that of Li Hui's hometown.After receiving the cake, Li Hui didn't dare to serve it, so he ran to a corner of the courtyard and sat down, looking at the sky while eating, it was one of the few peaces.

Seeing him hesitating, Yan Ting didn't ask any more questions. He opened the refrigerator and asked him to choose. Li Hui still couldn't help admiring this big thing that would give out air-conditioning, and asked again:

"Young master, do you sleep here in summer?"

"You'll know when summer comes."

Yan Ting felt a little relieved when he found that Li Hui sometimes omitted his last name and called him in a more intimate tone.At this time, Li Hui seemed to remember something, and whispered:

"Maybe, I won't see it—"

What if he had already found his way back in the summer, or if he came here inexplicably, and then returned inexplicably one day?

Even though he hadn't been here for a day, Li Hui actually found that he had the idea that he didn't want to go back.

"Who says you can't see it?"

Somewhat impatiently interrupting Li Hui's soliloquy, Yan Ting pointed to the refrigerator:

"Get something quickly. Keeping it on like this will waste electricity. Electricity needs to be bought with money. If it is wasted, it will be deducted from your wages."

As soon as he heard that he was going to deduct money again, Li Hui quickly looked up and down, and immediately picked out a few useful ones to carry them out. Yan Ting was afraid that he would not be able to hold them, so he stretched out his hands from behind Li Hui to close the refrigerator door without leaving any traces, bent down and used them Protecting Li Hui's with his arms, he turned around with him and put the things on the cooking table next to the gas stove.

A grapefruit, a box of lard and winter dates from the morning, and asked Yan Ting for flour, Li Hui started to make pancakes.Yan Ting saw that he pounded the winter jujube first to make another bowl of juice, but this time he heated it up and poured it into the flour sprinkled with salt grains. stand up.

Yan Ting looked at his raised shoulders, because he put back on the old clothes he gave him, and he did things much more smoothly.Li Hui didn't know that Yan Ting was watching him, so he concentrated on kneading the noodles and then peeled off the pomelo. The plump fruit pieces were tightly packed together. Li Hui peeled a lot of them, pickled them in sugar, and boiled them in low heat until Thick, bright and bulging dense vesicles are put aside.

The still sweet and sour taste of the grapefruit permeated the entire cafeteria. After the dough woke up, Li Hui quickly kneaded it into long strips and picked up some small doses.The small dose is rolled into a thin sheet, folded in half and then pressed flat, spread with lard mixed with yuzu sweet sauce, and then put it in a pan to fry.

"Young master, make it this size, so people who want to order more dishes can also taste it?"

Yan Ting saw the small and cute pancakes in the pot, and nodded:

"You are very thoughtful."

Li Hui couldn't hide the corners of his mouth happily.I also thought of it because I heard those high school girls at noon say that they want to eat this and that, and it's great that the young master didn't say that he made his own decisions.

"What is it? It smells so good."

Before the official opening time at night, regular customers came over one after another, smelling the fragrance and asking questions.In the evening, Yan Ting is free to cook some dishes with the leftover ingredients from noon, so everyone is looking forward to it.

"Li Hui, after frying, put two on each plate, put this and bring it here." After tasting it, Yan Ting thought it was good, and went to the yard to cut a few sprigs of mint, cut the pieces and handed them to Li Hui.Li Hui did as he did, and when he went out with the tray, he really caught everyone's attention.

"Boss Yan, who is this child?"

"Tang Meng's cousin."

"Don't tell me he looks a bit like him. Hey, the braids are so long. The kids now are different from us at that time. Boys also have long hair."

A middle-aged man pushed his glasses and said with a smile, Li Hui didn't understand why boys can't have long hair, so he kept it in mind and planned to ask Tang Meng later.

Seeing that the guests had cakes at hand, Yan Ting raised his voice:

"Although this kid is young, he already has experience as a chef. He made some pancakes and gave them to everyone to try."

The guests picked up the chopsticks while saying thank you, Li Hui retreated nervously to the kitchen and waited.

One second, two seconds.three seconds.

"Good, good, good, ouch, delicious."

The middle-aged man opened his mouth just now, probably because he didn't want to put it down because it was delicious, and he couldn't help being a little hot, so he could only gasp hissingly.

"It's really delicious, this kid is not bad."

"Boss Yan, are you here to cook with you from now on?"

Glancing at Li Hui who was both happy and at a loss, Yan Ting replied firmly:

"Yes."
