Lonely Lover ABO

Speaking of which, the location of this Wuji restaurant is good. Firstly, it is near the university town, and the business is booming during non-holidays; secondly, not far away is the most prosperous commercial center in Shanghai. The wage earners don't have a few days off for vacation, no, it's only the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and they come back to work one by one.

Li Yuchu dragged Cheng Qian to Wuji. It was meal time, and the two ordered two dishes.The speed of serving food is still very fast. After sitting down and chatting for less than 10 minutes, the food is ready.Cheng Qian looked at the restaurant while eating. The decoration is simple and clean, and the inside of the store is also very tidy.Through the glass window of the operating room, you can see the three masters sweating and throwing pots and cooking, non-stop.At the counter, a capable middle-aged female Omega is paying people, and her movements are neat and tidy.

After dinner, Cheng Qian went up to ask the proprietress if she wanted to recruit workers.The proprietress raised her head and saw that he was an Omega, her eyes hesitated.At this time, it was still Li Yuchu who came up and said, Ma'am, don't be sexist, you have to get used to it to know whether your skills are good or not?Fortunately, the proprietress was also understanding, she nodded and led them into the operating room.

The temperature inside the operating room is higher than outside, and it gets hot within a short time after entering.Among the three chefs, there was one who was upright and resolute, probably the owner of the restaurant, Master Wu.The other party was a rather tall Alpha, seeing him as a thin and thin Omega, he couldn't help being suspicious: "Can you work?"

Cheng Qian smiled, but didn't feel annoyed: "Being a beta for more than ten years, I can still do a little work."

Master Wu paused, looked him up and down again, and then gave him a potato to cut.Wu Ji is a home-cooked restaurant, and the requirements for knife skills and heat are naturally not as strict as those of big restaurants, but it is passable anyway.Cheng Qian has been cooking for five if not six years, so cutting up a potato is a no-brainer, and after a while, he shreds the potato for him to see.Master Wu nodded slowly, looked up and saw his calm and steady expression, felt that the young man had a good temper, so he said: "If you want to do it, you have to come at eight in the morning and leave at eight or nine in the evening. If it's okay, then I will Just use you."

"This..." Cheng Qian hesitated at the thought of going to class in the future, and said in a low voice, "It's not a problem to have a holiday now. But the school will start at the end of February, and there won't be so much time at that time..."

"You're still a student!" Master Wu was a little surprised, and his face was filled with disappointment: "Then it won't work, we can't find a part-time job!"

"Oh master!" At this time Li Yuchu said again: "Part-time workers are part-time workers, you use it first? There is still half a month left before school. Besides, our little brother can not only help , the workmanship is not bad. If any master has something to do one day, you can ask him to take the top."

"...you know how to cook?" Master Wu was obviously not persuaded, and his eyes were still suspicious.At this time, a menu came in, and there was a dish of fried lotus root dumplings.When Master Wu saw it, he frowned: "Mo Xin is not here today, who of you made these lotus root balls?"

The two chefs shook their heads impatiently, and one of them yelled: "That dish is very troublesome, who wants to make it? Angkor, when will you teach him a lesson, and he will skip work every day. This dish in our restaurant It's almost useless!"

Cheng Qian stood aside and watched, hesitating in his heart, and boldly said: "Why don't you let me try it, I cook this dish quite well."

"You?" Master Wu frowned and looked at him, and then saw that there were a lot of dishes on the menu. Even if this dish is useless, it can be remedied, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll take a look as you cook." There is a stove over there, and the lotus root is under the sink."

With permission, Cheng Qian didn't dare to neglect, took off his down jacket, rolled up his sleeves and started to do it.Li Yuchu walked out with his clothes in his arms and looked at him through the glass window by the counter.It happened that the proprietress was fine, so she leaned in behind her and asked in a low voice: "Hey, little sister, this boy...why does he come to work? Isn't he still a student, besides, his Alpha doesn't care?"

"Hey, I don't want to talk about this anymore." Feeling that this sister is soft-hearted, Li Yuchu thought about it and started to make up a story: "Sister, you said that this Omega is really at a disadvantage. They Those who are Alpha, talk sweetly when they are in love, and treat people in every possible way. Once you don't like it, it doesn't matter whether you are marked or what, just dump you, and don't talk about friendship at all. My silly brother, for that Alpha broke up with his parents, and he turned out to be fine, he patted his ass and left, my brother has no money, so he can only come out to work."

"Is that so? Hey, this kind of Alpha is so cheap, why don't you find someone to beat him up?" While complaining and eating melon seeds, the proprietress suddenly patted Li Yuchu on the shoulder and said seriously: "I think that kid is an honest and serious boy." , It’s much better than the little worker last time. If he’s skilled enough, I’ll ask my guy not to be so harsh. As a worker, you don’t have to stay in the shop all the time, don’t you think so?”

"That's it!" Clapping his hands in agreement, Li Yuchu narrowed his eyes, smiled brightly, turned around and concentrated on chatting with the proprietress.

Besides, in the kitchen, Cheng Qian peeled the lotus root first, grated the lotus root into shredded lotus root, then squeezed the shredded lotus root hard to squeeze out milky white lotus root juice.Master Wu watched from the side, feeling a little surprised: "You did this?"

Cheng Qian nodded in response, and kept moving: "Well, this is my method, and the taste is better."

Squeeze out the lotus root juice, pour it into the pot and boil.During this time, chop the chopped green onion and ginger, and then stir the lotus root juice in the pot to make it into a paste slowly.When the lotus root paste is ready, pour it into the shredded lotus root and ginger and onion, then add some flour, salt, pepper, and chicken essence, stir and knead, then squeeze it into balls the size of ping pong balls, and fry them in an oil pan.Seeing his series of skillful and neat movements, Master Wu nodded slowly, waiting to taste the taste of the lotus root balls.

Not long after, the lotus root balls came out of the pot.Look at the time, it took 10 minutes, and the speed is not bad.Picking up a light yellow lotus root ball, Master Wu looked at it, smelled it, and then put it in his mouth to taste it carefully.The root of the lotus root in this lotus root ball is distinct, and the chewing taste is better than that made of lotus root puree before. The addition of ginger also makes the taste of the lotus root ball more distinct.After eating three in a row, Master Wu nodded, thinking to himself... After recruiting this boy, this restaurant may have one more signature dish.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, Cheng Qian won the job in the end—Master Wu was blown into his ears by his wife, and his attitude was more friendly, saying that it would be fine for him to go to class in the future, but he still had to come after class. I have to find time to do my homework well.After hearing this, Cheng Qian naturally agreed.On the contrary, Li Yuchu kept an eye out and asked how the salary was. If he was late and left early, how would the money be deducted?Master Wu smiled brightly, and said that if he was a small worker and a cooking master, his salary would be [-] a month.If you can't work full-time, you can deduct money depending on the situation, but it will never be less than [-].

Hearing that there were three thousand, Cheng Qian's eyes lit up suddenly.After going back, Li Yuchu still scolded him, saying that you are so promising!Their family's business is so good, a salary of [-] is not a big deal at all!Cheng Qian smirked for a while, and said that three thousand is very good, even if I use eight hundred a month, I can still save two thousand and two thousand, and I have saved the tuition in three months.Li Yuchu felt distressed when he heard it, and he was silent for a while, so he had to tell him not to work too hard, so as not to tire himself.

Cheng Qian agreed at the time, but when he arrived at the store the next day, he had just finished shredding the potatoes when he ordered a takeaway order.It was not time for meals, and the cooks were afraid of the cold, so they were unwilling to deliver the dishes. The waiter brothers were two children of the boss's family, one fourteen and one twelve, so it was impossible for them to go.Cheng Qian thought about it, and said he would go. At that time, Master Wu was a little moved: "Xiao Cheng, oh, you have such a kind heart..."

Cheng Qian calmly accepted his praise, put on the helmet and sat on the little sheep, and asked calmly, "I'll take care of the express delivery. Boss, do you have to give me extra money?"

Master Wu was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, you are quite good at bargaining! Okay, add money, three hundred a month, is it enough?"

"...It's passable." The two reached an agreement, and Cheng Qian put on the leather gloves sponsored by the proprietress, and drove away.

Now that the school is closed, most of the people who order food are employees of some private companies.Cheng Qian looked at the address and found that the takeaway was ordered by a company next to Tang's, just across the street.Forced to remember Tang Jin's existence, Cheng Qian stopped at the intersection of the red light, and his mind wandered for a while.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the weather was still cold. Even wearing a down jacket and gloves, I still felt cold. The wind blew on my face like a knife.Cheng Qian gasped in a daze, and couldn't help but think of the winter years ago, Tang Jin came from somewhere at night, bought a delicious fried chicken cutlet, called him downstairs, and fed him piece by piece.

It was clearly a memory from more than two months ago, but now that I think about it, it seems that it has been as long as a year.Tang Jin's handsome face seemed to be separated by a layer of fog in the memory, and it was already a little unclear.The expression on his face, his movements, his voice and body temperature...all are no longer vivid, locked in a cabinet by memory, and will not be easily remembered.

Does he still think about himself now... After rejecting him on New Year's Day, he didn't come again.Probably... just like myself, he has calmed down and even started to forget it.

Smiling inexplicably, looking up and seeing the green light, Cheng Qian restrained himself and started the car.

As far as forgetting, for Tang Jin, of course, he has not yet.

He sent Li Yuchu messages every now and then, asking how Cheng Qian was doing.I heard that he found a job again, working as a helper in a restaurant, and sometimes cooking—like fried lotus root balls?This dish was snatched by Cheng Qian from the master who was always skipping shifts, so I don't know if it will cause resentment.Sitting in the office thinking about it, Tang Jin sighed and couldn't help worrying.In his heart, Cheng Qian is still the forbearing boy who was always bullied by his family before. This time he can be regarded as entering the society, and he doesn't know if he can stand up to it.

Look at the time, it's almost twelve noon.Tang Jin rubbed his eyebrows, raised his head and asked Ji Xuehan, "What's for lunch today?"

Hearing this question, Secretary Ji couldn't help but have a headache: "Boss, what do you want to eat? We've eaten all the takeaways from restaurants around, and you don't think it's delicious...Or order it yourself."

"Hey..." Tang Jin took the mobile phone without interest, looked at the restaurants above, Tang Jin lowered his eyes, and immediately lost the interest in eating.Thinking of the sweet-scented osmanthus sauce he used to spread his breakfast bread in the drawer, Tang Jin pondered for a while, and finally returned the phone, took out the unfinished whole wheat bread in the morning, and continued to spread the sweet-scented osmanthus sauce to eat.

Speaking of this sweet-scented osmanthus sauce, Cheng Qian gave a total of three bottles at that time, and now there is only a little more than one bottle left, and the consumption rate is astonishing.Ji Xuehan was still muttering, doesn't the boss not like sweets?Why do you have to put sweet-scented osmanthus sauce in it even for making scented tea?The office was filled with the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus every day, so Cheng Yun asked her if she changed her perfume when she was dating.

After slandering silently, he raised his eyes and saw that his boss was so pitiful, Ji Xuehan still sighed, and ordered three or two dishes resignedly, at least not to let the young master of the Tang family end up eating bread at noon.

——From Secretary Ji's point of view, his boss's attitude is very downcast, but Tang Jin's heart is quite calm.I used to be in the UK, I was not used to the food there, and it was common to stuff bread every day, so why not eat?Now there is the sweet-scented osmanthus sauce made by Cheng Qian, which is considered very good... Anyway, I can still miss the days when he often cooked for himself.

While eating and dazed, Ji Xuehan's phone rang.Secretary Ji picked it up, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter? Ah, she's here... Uh, wait a minute, I'll talk to the boss." Covering the microphone, Ji Xuehan turned to look at Tang Jin with some embarrassment, and said with a dry smile: "Boss, that, the Roy people are here."

"Her? What is she doing here?" It's lunch break now, does she still want to talk about the pharmaceutical factory?Feeling a little displeased, Tang Jin waved his hand and let her go: "Forget it, let her come up, in case something happens."

Not long after, the Roy rushed in with a bag of things.She seemed to be running in a hurry, her face was flushed, which made her look even more attractive.Putting the things in his hand on the table and taking off his fur coat, Roy dragged the stool and sat down familiarly, and took out a few lunch boxes out of the bag without hesitation: "I'm starving to death... You do not mind right?"

Swallowing the last bite of bread silently, Tang Jin sat up straight and said calmly, "You can do whatever you want."

"Then I'll eat." Opening the lunch boxes one by one, the braised pork ribs, garlic rapeseed, and fish-flavored baked eggs exude a greasy and rough aroma.The Roy man ate almost voraciously, and didn't care about his own image. Instead, he ate and talked: "About the pharmaceutical factory, a magazine will come to cover it in a few days. Let's see where the address is. I will Dad and the others pay more attention to it, and relying on this to improve the image of the government, it is estimated that they have to deliberately curry favor with the reporters... I don’t understand this aspect, so you should take care of it a little, so that there is no mistake.”

Hearing that she was talking about business, Tang Jin's face became calmer: "Let's set the address at Xingsong Manor, it's convenient to entertain there."

"Well, that's Xingsong." After eating half of the egg, the Roy raised his face to look at him with a mouthful of rice in his mouth, and greeted him, "Aren't you going to eat? I took an extra dish on purpose." Don't say you've already eaten, just those few bites of bread?"

"Fill your stomach first, Secretary Ji has already ordered food." As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Jin's stomach growled loudly.There was a smile on Roy's face, and he looked at him narrowly: "...there is food here, you can eat it first, it's so tiring to put on airs, are you hungry when I eat it? Let me tell you , as far as I am eating, not many people can stand it after seeing it, and they will definitely be hungry."

With a twitch of the corner of his mouth, Tang Jin raised his eyes, feeling a little more relaxed: "Eat, I won't rob you."

"Come on! I brought five dishes, enough for you to eat!" Then, she took out another box of rice from the bag, broke the chopsticks and handed it over.Under the hospitality, Tang Jin couldn't refuse, so he had to take it and start eating slowly.

I don't know which restaurant the Roy people bought these dishes. The taste is average, and two of them are a bit salty...there is also a lot of oil. Fortunately, the fire is in place, so it doesn't taste too bad.Unable to bear the thought of comparison, Tang Jin tasted them one by one, and came to a conclusion in his heart—there was no one as good as Cheng Qian, and it was far worse.But he was too hungry, so he ate slowly, and in the end he ate a lot.The Roy man looked at him while eating, and a sly smile gradually appeared in his eyes.

When Tang Jin was almost done eating, the Roy people called Ji Xuehan over to clean up the dishes.She changed her posture and sat with a smile on her face, and asked meaningfully, "Master Tang, how do these dishes... taste?"

"Huh?" While wiping his mouth, Tang Jin's eyes froze, and he suddenly felt bad: "It's okay... What are these dishes?"

"I did it." Putting his arms on the table, Roy was restless, with a charming smile on his face: "During the Chinese New Year, Mr. Tang said that Mrs. Tang used to cook well, so I practiced hard at home for five days—you Say, is there any hope of reaching the level of grandma?"

Listening to what she said, Tang Jin's stomach twitched, and a little discomfort rose up in his throat.

This feeling of being calculated...is really uncomfortable.
