[Rebirth] Born ordinary

Maybe it's because the chowder fried rice is particularly appetizing, maybe it's because Sun Shao is really hungry, and he cleaned up the full plate of rice, when Sun Shao slumped on the seat holding his full belly It was only then that I realized that I hadn't ordered anything for Fan Xuyang and the others, so I flipped through the menu and randomly ordered a few "beautiful" foods.

Yi Hui finished his meal long ago, leaned casually on his chair, and listened to the guests' opinions on the food on the menu from the people around him. It turned out that this man was the owner of the store, and the novelty menu was drawn up by the man in front of him.

Not only did he draw up the menu, even most of the dishes in it were developed and invented by him. Sun Shao couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at the wall less than half a meter in front of him from a distance, he couldn't tell it at all!

While developing these strange and "international" dishes, this man can still fry such authentic home-cooked fried rice. This diametrically different style is either split or masochistic.

Sun Shao watched the man take the menu book, and found the dishes that the waiters and chefs had more unanimous feedback on. If they could be modified, they directly took the oil-based pen to delete or add a few more production processes on the list. Step, can not be modified, directly drew a big X, told everyone to remove this dish, and the follow-up dishes will be added when he has new ideas.

In fact, people who come here to drink at most buy some non-staple food or cold spells, but it seems that because the food of this restaurant is indeed a bit famous in the food circle, it often attracts some old food or amateur food critics. Most of the feedback just now comes from the mouths of these people.

However, what makes Sun Shao feel strange is Yi Hui's attitude, because the opinions given by those veterans and food commentators are not pertinent. Even a layman like him can feel what some people say, as if In order to highlight his identity as a glutton or gourmet, the criticism is too sharp.Even the salty and light soup, which has been boiled for five hours in a pot, should be boiled for 5 minutes more or 5 minutes less.

Taste and saltiness are different from person to person. Normal people can comment at most with one sentence, but they will not take it as the main point of criticism, and the 5-minute question makes Sun Shao feel even more painful. Five hours of soup, can you really taste whether it should be 5 minutes longer or 5 minutes shorter?

The tongues of those people are really not human. Otherwise, what normal people would see would be the weird taste of these strange dishes. He couldn't imagine the taste of ginger mud wrapped in durian.

However, Yi Hui didn't seem to care about these things. Not only did he not see him getting angry, he even modified the recipes of some of the dishes with a bit of rashness, and even removed the relatively large objections from the menu. Either his mind is really broad enough to support a boat, or he doesn't care at all.

Sun Shao thought that if it was his song, it would be a bit unpleasant if it was criticized mercilessly by others, and he might reflect on it afterwards, but he would be more or less repulsed on the spot. In that case, completely deny it without any hesitation.

From this point of view, this man probably really doesn't care about the dishes he developed.

Well, there seems to be something.Sun Shao rested his chin and stared at Yi Hui's side face, guessing wildly.

Yi Hui dealt with the matter well, closed the menu, and saw Sun Shao staring at him in a daze as soon as he turned his face, he was slightly taken aback.

"already ate?"

Sun Shao came back to his senses and saw that Yi Hui was smiling at him. Not to mention, although this man's face was firm, his smile softened those edges and corners, reducing some sense of majesty and adding some kindness. .

Sun Shao nodded at Yi Hui indiscriminately, rubbed his cheeks, and looked away guiltily. Being caught or something is really bad.

It just so happened that the food ordered for Fan Xuyang and the others had already been plated and delivered. Sun Shao picked up a large tray, put the food on it, and said to everyone: "I'll just deliver it to them. That, brother chef, today Thank you for inviting me to eat fried rice, next time I have a chance, I will treat you to dinner."

Yi Hui couldn't help laughing when he heard Sun Shao's nondescript address, "What's this address?"

Sun Shao scratched his head, glanced at the other party, looked at about 28, thought for a while, and called again: "Then...Brother Yi?" deficit.

Yi Hui waved his hand, not caring, "An appellation is up to you."

Hearing these words in Sun Shao's ears, it was automatically converted into "whatever you like, brother chef is fine." Immediately, he squinted his eyes happily again, "brother chef, I'm leaving, next time I invite you to dinner."

Yi Hui listened to the last address the other party decided on, and looked at the smiling face of the other party, feeling powerless for a while. The child's ability to understand, this title...

Sun Shao carried a large plate of food and walked out of the kitchen. As soon as he left the kitchen, a burst of coolness rushed over his face. As soon as Sun Shao touched his back, his clothes were already soaked through. It was stuck to his back, and he realized that he had stayed in that stove-like place for more than half an hour without feeling anything.

Instead, I worshiped the chef and others inside for a while. In the summer, people who can stay in the kitchen are called perverts.

While entertaining himself, Sun Shao was making fun of himself in his heart, while taking food to the lounge, he happened to meet Fan Xuyang and others on the way.

"Xiao Shao'er, you really won the hearts of my brothers. My brothers are almost starved to death. Hurry up and bring it in." Ah Chuan exaggeratedly cheered with a drum hammer in both hands.

The four of them walked into the lounge one after another. In the corner of the lounge was a woman with a big wavy hair in red. Seeing everyone coming in, she stood up and stretched, and said lazily, "Okay, the midnight show has started. I'm going out."

A Chuan and Zhao Zhuo smirked with red eyes, watched the woman in red pass by them, and stayed in front of Sun Shao, "Hey, Xu Yang, your team has added people?"

Zhao Zhuo: "Sister Luo, this is the top class hired by our family Yangyang, Sun Shao, be good, don't just tease him."

"Oh." The red-clothed woman nodded, cast a charming sideways glance at Zhao Zhuo, her eyes rolled around, she gave everyone a wink, and went out with her water snake waist twisted.

Only then did Sun Shao blink—was that Luo Meiling just now?

Unexpectedly, eight years ago, she turned out to be a resident singer in a bar.

Thinking about it, Sun Shao's heart was both unhappy and somewhat fortunate.

He knew that in a year or so, the 29-year-old Luo Meiling would be discovered by the famous Bole in the music industry. She started singing with a flirtatious Yujie style. first sister.Being so popular that she can hold up half the sky among the female singers in the music world, it can be said that she did not make the original Sun Shao envy and hate.

Also as a singer, others are a thousand times more arrogant than him.But this also just shows that he is really not suitable to take that path.Same person has different fate, he should have seen this clearly.Fortunately, he had the opportunity to start over, and he had seen his position clearly earlier, so he didn't have to grind himself in a daze.

"Xiao Shao'er, what did you order?" Fan Xuyang stared at the food in front of him with a sullen face, and stretched out his hand a few times, really not knowing which one to pick.

Sun Shao glanced at it, raised his head and thought for a while, "...don't remember, I flipped through the menu and ordered it. Anyway, I haven't seen them before, and I don't know which ones are delicious."

"Pfft! Hahaha——" The three team members next to me laughed at the same time, "Brother Yang, you really have no taste. The dishes here are all developed by Brother Hui himself. Come here to pretend to be a sample, the kitchen will force you to eat in different ways every day, and you will not be charged, and you still have a bitter face, if Brother Cheng knows, he will definitely beat you."

Fan Xuyang pursed his lips, took out a plate casually, walked to the sofa and sat down, "I call it cautious."

The three of them shrugged at him, each chose the food they liked, and sat down around the sofa to eat and drink. It seems that for the four of Fan Xuyang, these foods should be very appetizing, and the four of them ate and ate. As soon as he said that, he was happy, smiling, keeping his hands in his hands, and his mouth was busy.

"It's really not a good job for a bar to play all these bells and whistles all day long." Ah Chuan pinched the little fat around his waist while eating, "It made me fatter."

"You just don't want to eat it." Xu Ye answered coolly.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Just eat some free food here a day, or this kind of free food that makes people almost swallow their mouths, who would not want to eat it?"

Sun Shao watched the people coming and going with great interest, and the light from the corner of his eyes was aimed at the food on their plates that was decreasing at the speed of light--such a curious food, ordinary people can really eat two, three, five. , try next time.

"By the way, Xiaoshaoer, have you eaten yet?" Fan Xuyang squeezed out the space to ask Sun Shao.

"I ate it. A chef made me fried rice." Sun Shao nodded.

"Fried rice?" All four of them were taken aback, "Is there such an 'ordinary' food here?"

"Who is the big chef?" Immediately afterwards, everyone asked again, wondering in their hearts, is it possible that some garrison worker was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he just copied the rice for him.

When their band signed the agreement, it was written in black and white that the members of the band had free drinks and food in the bar, and they could order whatever food and drinks were on the menu at will.

"Yi Hui." Seeing everyone's expressions, Sun Shao was a little puzzled.

Everyone opened their mouths "ah", then looked at each other, and fell silent again.

Sun Shao: "What's wrong?"

Fan Xuyang picked up his share of food in twos and twos, kicked the other team members, and said: "I will take the spoon back first, we have a training session tomorrow morning, after you finish eating, take away our musical instruments." go back."

The three nodded while eating.

After walking out of the bar, Sun Shao pondered for a moment, poked Fan Xuyang, and asked: "What happened to you just now? Is there any taboo in this bar? Yes, you'd better tell me in advance, so as not to save me later." Accidentally touched someone's moldy head, causing a fishy body."

Fan Xuyang scratched his head, paused, and explained: "Actually, it's not a taboo, it's just some adult past events, but just now on his territory, it's not easy to gossip about others casually, Brother Hui is actually quite nice. It's just that sometimes cooking some……"

"Extreme?" Sun Shao provided the vocabulary to Fan Xuyang.

Fan Xuyang nodded, "We are not familiar with Brother Hui, but we have been singing in Brother Hui's store since we graduated from high school. Generally speaking, Brother Hui takes good care of us."

"I've also heard from others that Brother Hui's background is not very good. He learned to cook when he was very young. He learned Hangzhou cuisine at first, and then he went out for a few years. It seems that he has traveled a lot at home and abroad. , learning more and more, seems to have participated in some large and small competitions, the early results were very good, and then lost two grand international competitions, not to mention the poor results, the level is also affected People in the industry were seriously skeptical, and they were also harshly criticized at the time."

"why?"

"Because he cooks home-cooked food, those commentators said that it lacks creativity and does not respect the competition. He also said some technical terminology, I don’t know.” Fan Xuyang shrugged, saying that the interlacing is like a mountain, and he is actually quite “ignorant”.

Sun Shao lowered his eyelids and remained silent. Fan Xuyang only knew that this kind of thing was more or less a stalk in other people's hearts, and it was not easy to spread it on other people's sites, but in the end he said it in the tone of talking about others of a story.

Just like himself, if he hadn't been reborn, those messy things would probably be just a story in someone else's mouth.Sun Shao's heart suddenly felt a little bit like a fallen person in Tianya.

Fan Xuyang stopped a taxi, pressed Sun Shao who was still in a daze, and stuffed him into the car before continuing: "Later, Brother Hui basically stopped being a chef and opened several restaurants. There are also some restaurants and bars in the bar. Brother Hui basically hires someone to manage it, and he keeps developing all kinds of "innovative" dishes, messy, and all kinds of combinations that humans can't think of.

"Don't tell me, after doing this, Brother Hui became famous again. In the past three years, many competitions have sent letters to invite him to participate in the competition or to be a judge, but he never went. Except for the research and development of dishes, he usually He stopped cooking, let alone cooking for others, and the dishes he developed were basically handed over to his team of chefs, and he never tried them himself."

Speaking of this, Fan Xuyang showed a novel smile on his face, "I have sung here for three years, and I have never tasted Brother Hui's craftsmanship. You are lucky, you tasted it as soon as you came here, but it's a pity, it's just a plate of fried rice .Whenever you can eat the new dishes developed by Brother Hui himself, your life will be worthwhile."

Sun Shao laughed, and bent his mouth to see the hysterical dreamy expression on Fan Xuyang's face, then propped his chin with one hand, and turned his head to look at the night scene that was rapidly receding outside the car window.

Maybe it was because what he wanted was fried rice that the other party was willing to make it for him. If what he wanted to eat were those strange dishes on the menu, the person who made them probably wasn't him.After this idea popped into Sun Shao's mind, he remembered what Huang Mao said to himself when he was in the noodle restaurant that day, "Our chef regards you as a bosom friend."

There are helpless people everywhere.

It’s not that we are not good enough, but that the times are changing too fast. Sun Shao thinks about the time when he was with his mother when he was a child. At that time, the greatest happiness is to be able to eat braised pork and dream about the happy days with his mother every day in the future. .Home cooking does not have great intentions and innovative concepts, but from the perspective of Sun Shao, an ordinary person who has no hypersensitive taste or five senses and was raised on food with pesticide residues and soaked in various poisons, home cooking can It is the most test of the chef's skills to be able to say that it is delicious regardless of age.

But obviously, most of those who can be called gourmets or food critics nowadays are not from their level.

Either you compromise with the world, or you return to yourself and recognize the ordinary.Sun Shao thought that he chose the latter, but it seemed that Yi Hui did not choose the former or the latter.

Well, he split himself.Sun Shao nodded his head and came to a conclusion in his heart.
