rebirth of internet celebrity

In 2010, City B, summer.

At the community hospital near C University, twelve o'clock at noon.

After listening to Huo Jiang's heartbeat, the cold-faced female doctor began to criticize Fan Pengyu who sent him to the doctor.

"Okay, he's suffering from ordinary heatstroke. He's still guarding the stove on such a hot day. Can he not get dizzy? I said, can't you install an air conditioner in the kitchen of your hotel? Customers are human beings, but chefs are not human beings?"

Fan Pengyu always cares about face, after hearing this lesson his face was very ugly, his burly body shook twice but still did not refute, he asked Liu Xiaoxi to take the order to get the medicine without saying a word.

"Let's go to the injection room to get salt water. The blood pressure is too low. Let him rest for two days after the injection. No matter how big the business is, no one will die!" The latter sentence was still directed at Fan Pengyu.The female doctor also met a lot of people, and she dared to say anything without considering the relationship between Huo Jiang and Fan Pengyu.

What is the relationship between them?

They are in an employment relationship.

Fan Pengyu is the owner of a Sichuan restaurant on C Daxi Street, and Huo Jiang is his part-time chef.One is the boss and the other is the worker, the woman doctor's words are so ugly that Huo Jiang can't do it anymore.

It just so happened that Huo Jiang really didn't want to do it anymore.

Liu Xiaoxi was an honest boy who helped cook in a Sichuan restaurant. After Huo Jiang fainted, he was the one who carried him to the community hospital.At this moment, after prescribing the medicine with the slip, he took Huo Jiang to the injection room to get the injection.Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Fan Pengyu immediately felt relieved and went back to the shop first.

Huo Jiang lay on the hospital bed, thanked Liu Xiaoxi, and sent him away.

He took out his mobile phone, pressed the standby button, and a striking date lit up on it—July 2010, 7.

Really reborn.

Huo Jiang was a little dazed. After his brain stopped hurting, he began to sort out the things in his previous life.

Huo Jiang's hometown is in H City, his parents died early, and there is only a younger sister who is two years younger than him.As an older brother, he couldn't just do it for his own good. Thinking that his younger sister would continue to study, in order to support his family as soon as possible, Huo Jiang gritted his teeth and enrolled in a cooking school.

The late Huo's father was a cook, and Huo Jiang was also a source of education in his family. He learned the craft skillfully and quickly. On the day of Huo Jiang's graduation in 09, the school's master raised a thumb and said to his favorite student, "Boy, from now on, you will have a lot of skills."

In order to earn more money, Huo Jiang sent his little sister to a boarding school, packed a backpack and went to City B by himself.

Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant is a restaurant near C University, and it is also the hottest business around the school district. It has three floors, and the lobby and private rooms have a total area of ​​more than 1000 square meters.

Fan Pengyu is the owner of a Sichuan restaurant. After hearing that Huo Jiang gave up his studies for his sister, he kept him.Not only is the monthly salary high, but the usual benefits are also adequate.There are a total of four or five master cooks in the kitchen, Huo Jiang earns the most, with a monthly income of six to seven thousand plus commission.

Not only that, Fan Pengyu also helped Huo Jiang find an apartment in a nearby community. The house is not big, just a studio, and the decoration is not new. It is an old house more than ten years ago, but the monthly rent is only more than 1000 points, which can be paid monthly.This is so rare in the school district, Huo Jiang, who just entered the society, thanked the boss from the bottom of his heart.

At first, Huo Jiang didn't think there was anything wrong, but it happened that one day, Liu Xiaoxi and a few waiters were whispering there, gossiping in private that the boss is gay, and he was so nice to Huo Jiang, did he think...

Huo Jiangru was bombarded by the five thunders, and they couldn't hear what they said later, and they have been paying attention to Fan Pengyu since then.

Fan Pengyu is 30 years old. He runs a restaurant near the school district. His family is rich and handsome. According to the girls in the restaurant, he is a diamond king.But in the end, it wasn't diamonds that impressed Huo Jiang, but Wang Laowu.

Fan Pengyu is kind to Huo Jiang, and Huo Jiang also thinks that Fan Pengyu is a good person. Although he is straight, he would rather bend than bend.

Just thinking about it like this, thinking about Huo Jiang, he became inexplicably bent, and fell in love with Fan Pengyu secretly.

Huo Jiang is a decisive, clean and crisp person, but he can't bear the first love, and he becomes indecisive.While he was debating whether to confess his love, Fan Pengyu met Li Siwen.

Li Siwen is a sophomore in the Photography Department of C University. He came from a prestigious school. attention is drawn to the past.

While Huo Jiang was hesitating secretly there, Fan Pengyu began to pursue Li Siwen, from renting a house to birthday parties, from paying tuition fees to buying cameras, the momentum was huge and earth-shattering.As for Li Siwen, he took his time, neither agreeing nor saying he would die, and just hung Fan Pengyu's appetite like this.Only then did Huo Jiang realize that it turned out that he was being self-indulgent.

Fan Pengyu was kind to him, but not the kind he was to Li Siwen, the kind... the kind who was sloppy and devoted to him.

Huo Jiang compared himself with Li Siwen, one was Yangchun Baixue, and the other was from Lower Riba, Fan Pengyu's choice was not surprising at all, he would also like Li Siwen if it were him.

In this way, Huo Jiang gradually calmed down his thoughts, but perhaps he was unwilling, he imitated Li Siwen unknowingly.For example, keep your hair long and comb it sideways, for example, if you have nothing to do, sit and read quietly in the store with a book, for example, pretend to have a headache and gently rub your forehead with your right thumb, for example, sometimes you will take Fan Pengyu’s SLR camera and run to Li Siwen for advice Take some nice photos...

Li Siwen had a high EQ, while using Fan Pengyu as a backup, he noticed Huo Jiang's subtle psychology, and then pretended not to know.

Li Siwen didn't say anything until 2016, when Li Siwen graduated from graduate school, was spotted by a certain group, set up a studio, and spent all day with the group's son.Li Siwen understood that if he wanted to get better, he had to get rid of Fan Pengyu, and he couldn't make it too ugly.After a little thought, he played Huo Jiang's card.

Li Siwen exposed Huo Jiang's secret love for Fan Pengyu, and then acted extremely disgusted, as if he was deeply hurt by Huo Jiang, and disgusted as if he had eaten a dead fly. He was so determined to break up with Fan Pengyu.Although the statement was far-fetched, it was enough to fool Fan Pengyu into his head.

Naturally, Fan Pengyu couldn't make Li Siwen change his mind, so he could only watch Li Siwen retreat completely.

One can imagine what happened next.

Huo Jiang will never forget Fan Pengyu's numb and helpless eyes towards him, as if his secret liking is a kind of betrayal, a kind of sin.Before dismissing Huo Jiang, he also said a long paragraph——

"...When I first saw you, my eyes lit up. I thought it would be a pity for such a handsome young man to be a cook. After packing up and stuffing it in the classroom of C University, he will be the material behind the scenes in the future, no more than those Poor student. Later, when I heard that you were going to support my younger sister to study and support the family, I thought I must keep you. In fact, it was not because of how good your food was, but... a bit sad.

At the beginning... I was really tempted. I think you are a good boy.So I like to buy you some snacks, take a vacation, tease you or something.Ah, maybe these things make you misunderstand.

Later, with Sven, I realized that my liking for you is different from that for Sven.We are basically two people, we will never get together.You should earn some money down-to-earth, go home and marry a daughter-in-law, and live a peaceful and stable life.Xiao Jiang, can you understand what I said? "

Of course Huo Jiang understood.He had understood it since he couldn't help imitating Li Siwen.

Li Siwen's hand was white and slender to press the shutter of the camera, so even if it cost a lot of money to raise him, some people would take advantage of it without complaint or regret.

His own hands are smelly and greasy, so even if he lives comfortably with a monthly salary of [-] yuan, in the eyes of others, he is still a poor person who dropped out of school at a young age and struggled hard for a living.

They were not at the same level, and had different backgrounds, so Fan Pengyu couldn't see Li Siwen's hypocrisy, but he could see his own humbleness.

It's just that Huo Jiang understood it, but he still couldn't accept it in his heart.First, he didn't confess his love to Fan Pengyu, and second, he didn't stalk a tree or climb a wall... Why did Fan Pengyu want to say nothing?It's nothing more than being wronged by Li Siwen and having nowhere to vent.When others cut off his thoughts, he will cut off other people's thoughts.

Huo Jiang was so aggrieved that his heart ached, but he was more ashamed. This was the first time in his life that someone told him clearly that he was not good enough.He felt that he must have caused Fan Pengyu a lot of trouble, what should he do, he didn't want to trouble him.

Huo Jiang endured the angina, scratched his miscellaneous hair, and said, "Then let me cook you a last dish, the one I made on the first day I came here."

Fan Pengyu choked on his misty eyes and nodded.

Then Huo Jiang died in the kitchen.

The gas tank of the Sichuan Restaurant leaked, and the flames of the explosion engulfed him.

Huo Jiang, who was reborn in 2010, quietly counted the drips in the infusion tube.

Huo Jiang recalled what happened before and after again, Huo Jiang sighed slightly, he was not so aggrieved anymore.After all, he had a chance to do it all over again. What he did not do well before, he changed it this time.

He didn't blame Fan Pengyu at all, after all, Fan Pengyu was just stupid, even if he was kept in the dark by Li Siwen's tricks, it was voluntary, and he had the right to make his own choice.

He didn't blame Li Siwen either, whether he was scheming or hypocritical, in the end he was smart and could always find the right way out.

Huo Jiang only blamed himself, first of all he had shallow eyelids and pretended to be affectionate, thinking that Fan Pengyu liked him, so he broke himself.In the end, he really believed that he was different from Li Siwen, and believed that he was not as good as Li Siwen. He was a head shorter in imposing manner, and silently tolerated Li Siwen stepping on him to use Fan Pengyu.What's even more useless is that in the end, they allowed these two people to do what they said, and even felt wronged for others when they were bullied.

Huo Jiang hated himself for being worthless, but luckily, he got a chance to do it all over again.

Since Fan Pengyu told him to work hard and make money to marry a wife, then he should work hard to make money and marry a wife!

Huo Jiang lived in City B for six or seven years in his last life, so he has gained a lot of knowledge and broadened his horizons. He knows that besides being a cook, he has many other jobs to do.

For example, internet celebrities.

After leaving the community hospital, Huo Jiang rushed to the Internet cafe immediately, opened the Weibo page, and found Li Siwen's Weibo account.

Sure enough, just like in his previous life, Li Siwen's Weibo post a few days ago has already been topped on the hot search list.

That was a few days ago, when Li Siwen said he wanted to eat squirrel mandarin fish, Fan Pengyu asked Huo Jiang to make one.Li Siwen didn't know what kind of mentality he had, so he followed up with the kitchen, took out the new mobile phone Fan Pengyu bought for him, and recorded videos on the side, saying that he wanted to try the camera.

Huo Jiang was quick to do things, he took the fish out of the tank without saying a word, the tail of the fish slapped the water splashing all over him, but he didn't seem to notice it.A pair of chopsticks twisted a flower behind their hands, inserted it into the fish's mouth and slapped it with their hands. The chopsticks sank into the fish's maw, and a lively fish was frozen, frozen and motionless.He moves very fast, only six slashes are needed to scrape the scales, three slashes on the front and three slashes on the back; only three slashes are needed to remove the viscera and gills, once for the belly of the fish, and twice for the gills.The body of the fish is put on the chopping board and the tic-tac-toe is cut obliquely. There are eighteen cuts on the front and eighteen cuts on the back.Then put it on a starch plate and roll it around. It takes less than 2 minutes to process a live fish.

Huo Jiang pulled out his chopsticks, and the fish could still move, its fins fluttered slightly, and its tail swayed slightly.He hangs the fish tail upside down in the oil pan with his left hand, and pours the boiling oil with a frying spoon in his right hand. Immediately, the skin is ripped open and the flesh is ripped apart, making a melodious sound of "squeak, squeak", and the fish body jumps with a spoonful...

Li Siwen filmed this scene just to find a sense of superiority in front of Huo Jiang.But after the filming, I also found it interesting, and uploaded it to Weibo when I got home with nothing to do.

In the summer of 2010, Weibo had just been launched for half a year, but it had already attracted a large number of loyal users.Netizens use Weibo to express their emotions, post selfies, and see hot topics swarming up. In just one hour, they can stir up little-known ordinary people.

Ordinary people praise ordinary people. There is a new term called "grassroots" culture.

The person in the video cannot see the face, but only a pair of white hands, calmly handling a live fish.The process of fish meat blooming is magnified before the eyes of netizens. From the two perspectives of vision and taste, it double stimulates people who have not been in the back kitchen.This video has attracted enough attention in just 3 days, and the concise and concise trending hashtag #解决松鸡林鱼# has been retweeted.The comments on Weibo are of course mixed. In addition to a group of kneeling and licking food associations screaming hungry, there are also ubiquitous Animal Protection Associations who jumped out to show their presence——

"I don't know what's so good, just eat it, can't you eat it after killing it thoroughly, how about the little brother who kills the fish and trades with the fish himself, what does it feel like to see yourself being drenched in oil and being eaten by others? "

Soon, someone laughed at this man who didn't understand common sense, "Please go to Baidu, this fish is dead, it's just that the handsome guy is quick and his nerves are still alive to move! This is the same as eating a live octopus, Iron duck feet, three squeaks, and monkey brains are different, what are you yelling about, it's really disappointing!"

"Ah, the Holy Mother is so great. Not only chickens, ducks, fish and geese are pitiful, but also vegetables, wheat, etc. are alive. Why don't you pity them too?"

"Wait... I suddenly want to eat monkey brains..."

……

In the end, the Animal Protection Association was not strong enough, and was quickly suppressed by the Foodie Association and the Appearance Association.Then, due to the dispute between the two factions, the hot topic continued for several days.

But the video was shot by Huo Jiang, but Li Siwen was the one who caught fire.

A large number of onlookers came to Li Siwen's Weibo, but he didn't reply to anyone, let alone explain who was in the video.

This kind of enthusiasm came and went quickly, and the opportunity was fleeting. Huo Jiang didn't grasp it in his previous life, but it gave Li Siwen a lot of attention, and he actually attracted more than 1000 fans.With the help of these fans, many of his homework in photography classes were passed around, which made Fan Pengyu use it as a deed discussion, and he was proud of it for a long time.

Huo Jiang stayed in Beijing for six or seven years in his previous life. Apart from commuting to get off work and cooking, he was a dead house, and he grew up a net worm.With a full sense of the Internet, he knows very well that this is a turning point in his life. Maybe if he seizes this opportunity, his life will be very different... Without further ado, Huo Jiang registered a Weibo account decisively and found I took a sunny and healthy photo as my profile picture, and then forwarded a message to Li Siwen's Weibo.

"Thank you for your attention. The Chinese food culture is extensive and profound. I will upload a video of this dish to give back to you."

Huo Jiang showed a contemptuous smile while typing this passage.An inexplicable self-confidence grew quietly from a certain soil in Huo Jiang's heart. In his previous life, he felt inferior to Li Siwen because he had studied a few years longer than himself. In this life, he has a certain pride in Li Siwen. Because I have been on the Internet for several years more than him!

After posting on Weibo, Huo Jiang ran to the barber shop next door, and spent eight yuan to shave off the Li Siwen style hair on his head.

The author has something to say:

New pit, hope you like it.
