Retreat

Qiao Mudong and He Yu didn't stay in the nursing home for too long. Qiao Mudong's main purpose was to inquire about Qiao Song's physical condition. Knowing that Qiao Song was still in good health, he told He Yu that he could leave soon.

As soon as the two of them came out of the registration hall, He Yu received a call from Ma Tian.

Ma Tian first apologized on the phone, saying that he drank too much last night, did he say something nonsense?

Before He Yu could answer him, Qiao Mudong heard Ma Tian's question because he was close to him, so he grabbed the phone and said, "Senior brother Ma, you have already explained everything about He Yu's imprisonment for Fu Chenshan." Speak up."

He Yu grabbed Qiao Mudong's arm, snatched back his mobile phone, and said, "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense, you didn't say anything."

But Ma Tian was already in a cold sweat, and he didn't know how to explain it. On the one hand, he wanted to defend He Yu, but on the other hand, he really couldn't produce any evidence, and after all, Qiao Mudong was also from the Ling family. After Fu Chenshan got married, Qiao Mudong It's his brother-in-law, it's hard to say whether he will figure this out for He Yu.After thinking about it, Ma Tian still felt that he had said something wrong.

He Yu could tell that Ma Tian was in a hurry, and quickly persuaded him: "It's okay, everyone drank too much last night, so I won't take anything to heart."

Ma Tian said: "Oh, good. I just called Brother Ou, and he told you to go to work tomorrow, just report to him directly."

"Tomorrow? So soon?" He Yu asked.

Ma Tian said: "You can wait for two days if you have something to do. He said as soon as possible, it's at your convenience."

He Yu hurriedly said: "It's convenient, I can do it tomorrow, I'll go directly to Brother Ou." After finishing speaking, He Yu said again, "Thank you, brother."

Ma Tian laughed, "Why are you polite, I will call my brother later if I have something to do."

He Yu also smiled slightly, "Got it."

After hanging up the phone, He Yu raised his head and said to Qiao Mudong, "I'm going to work tomorrow, so I'll treat you to dinner today."

Qiao Mudong said, "Okay, I want to have a good meal."

He Yu asked: "How good would it be? Can I do it for you myself?"

Qiao Mudong said: "I have no objection, but I don't even have a bottle of soy sauce at home. Now go to the supermarket to buy it?"

He Yu thought for a while, "I think of a place!"

When Qiao Mudong drove to Shiyouwei, Li Tang was waiting for them downstairs alone. The restaurant's door was not opened, only a small door was open, and the lights inside were dim.

Li Tang threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and crushed it with his feet, "You guys are really capable of tossing, and you are tossing with me."

He Yu got out of the car, holding the vegetables bought in the market, "I just borrowed a kitchen from you."

Li Tang hooked his fingers, "Go."

He Yu walked up to him, bowed with a smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Li."

Li Tang didn't even look at him, "Go and fix it yourself, there are still meat and vegetables in the refrigerator, take them if you need them."

He Yu entered the shop through the small door and went directly to the kitchen at the back.

Qiao Mudong got off the car, looked at He Yu's back, smiled and said to Li Tang, "He's going to work tomorrow, and he's a little excited now."

Li Tang said: "I can see it."

Qiao Mudong approached and handed Li Tang a cigarette, Li Tang thanked him and took it, took out the lighter and helped Qiao Mudong light the cigarette together.

The two of them had no intention of going in, they stood at the door smoking while talking.

Qiao Mudong asked him, "Didn't you go out today?"

Li Tang shook his head, "I went out this morning and met two people."

Qiao Mudong asked: "Hong Xiaomao's person?"

Li Tang said "um", "I didn't say too much, they all followed Min Hang wholeheartedly before, but they all said that they didn't know who owns the casino."

Qiao Mudong looked at him sideways, "What do you think?"

Li Tang frowned, shaking the ashes, "Either he doesn't trust me and refuses to tell me; or he really doesn't know, which means Min Hang doesn't trust them much."

Qiao Mudong asked: "Didn't Hong Xiaomao tell you who that person is?"

Li Tang said: "What he said was very cryptic. Those two nurses were inside at the time. How could he dare to disclose key information to someone who could be easily bought with money."

Qiao Mudong said: "It's not easy to meet him, so he just left the matter to you to investigate?"

Hearing this, Li Tang actually smiled, "Maybe he doesn't completely trust me."

Qiao Mudong asked, "Then what are your plans for the future?"

Li Tang said: "I'm going to meet someone tonight, an old gambler, hoping to get some useful information. Since it's such a large-scale underground casino, there's no way I can't disclose any information."

Qiao Mudong nodded, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you want to sell your restaurant?"

"Yes," Li Tang said, "what? Are you interested?"

Qiao Mudong didn't respond immediately.

Li Tang said: "If you are really interested, I have something to persuade you, do you want to hear it?"

Qiao Mudong said: "You say."

Li Tang said: "Small business like Shiyouwei is not suitable for you to do. You can see that the whole street is full of this kind of small restaurants. Even if you change the class, it can't become a high-end restaurant. Change it." In other words, if you want to start a small business, you have to do it yourself. Small restaurants don’t make a lot of money, so you can’t pay a manager to look after you here, but if the boss doesn’t watch over you, the cooks below will Lazy. With your current situation, you are not suitable for this business."

Qiao Mudong raised his head and looked at the surroundings, "Do I have a reliable younger brother to guard me?"

Li Tang looked at Qiao Mudong and said, "Young Master Qiao, are you really interested in delicious food?"

Qiao Mudong looked forward, "There are some things that I haven't thought about before, and now it's time to think about it. It's not so much that I'm interested in food, it's better to say that I want to do something for the future."

Li Tang said: "You can consider making bigger investments with the money you have."

Qiao Mudong shook his head, "The money I have is actually limited, and what I want to do is simpler than you think. I don't intend to make a lot of money in the short term, I just want to do something Get out of your own business."

Li Tang asked: "Want to engage in catering?"

"It's not that I don't want to," Qiao Mudong said, "You know I don't know anything about these business matters. I can't play any real estate stocks, so I just want to at least know what I'm doing."

Li Tang raised his hand and patted Qiao Mudong's back, "It's good, keep your feet on the ground and walk forward step by step."

Qiao Mudong turned his head and looked into the restaurant. From here, he could vaguely see He Yu busy in the kitchen. He said, "Without strength, it's useless to say anything."

Li Tang suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and said to Qiao Mudong, "Give me another cigarette."

Qiao Mudong passed one over.

When Li Tang took it over, he said: "If it's really like what you said, there is a reliable younger brother who will help you look after it, and you can change your approach to the delicious business."

Qiao Mudong quietly waited for him to speak.

Li Tang said: "Small restaurants have ways of making money. Do you know how many famous small restaurants there are in Chongfeng City? Do you know how much they can earn in a day?"

Qiao Mudong shook his head quietly.

Li Tang said: "If you really want to do this business, you should inquire first. Don't think about leaving everything to others. Do everything yourself, and then you will know whether you want to continue."

Qiao Mudong suddenly felt that there was no reason for Hong Xiangfeng to trust and rely on Li Tang so much back then. He couldn't help thinking, since the Hong family kicked Li Tang out, why couldn't he win him over to help him do things? .

It's just that he didn't open his mouth right away. Li Tang has experienced all kinds of turmoil in his life. There are not many things that can easily move him. What he depends on is probably sincerity.

At this time, He Yu was wearing an apron, walked to the door while wiping his hands, and said to them: "There is still one dish left, and we can prepare dinner."

Li Tang put out the cigarette on his hand, "I won't make light bulbs anymore."

"Don't," He Yu said hastily, "Let's stay and eat together, you haven't tried my craft yet."

Li Tang smiled, "If it's Young Master Qiao, it's probably because everything is delicious; as for me, I really don't have much confidence in you, so it's not difficult for me."

Qiao Mudong said, "Let me ask someone to look it up for you about the casino."

Li Tang was slightly stunned, "No need, it's not good to involve you in this matter."

Qiao Mudong said indifferently: "Who am I afraid of? Afraid of Hong Xiangjun and Hong Xiangguo? It's okay, I'll ask someone to find out for you, but try your best not to let them notice you. I will let you know."

Li Tang was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Okay." He had said thank you so many times that he couldn't say anything now, he just said, "If you decide to eat something delicious, just tell me and wait for Min Hang's side." The matter is over, and I will help you."

Qiao Mudong suppressed his excitement, and said, "Whoever helps anyone, we are all brothers!"

Li Tang said with a smile: "You have your big ambitions, and I have my small ideals. I hope we can realize them together if we have the opportunity."

After finishing speaking, he raised one hand and clenched his fist across Qiao Mudong's chest. Qiao Mudong also solemnly clenched his fist and struck him, and then turned his fist into a palm to hold him.

He Yu asked strangely, "What are you talking about?"

Li Tang said: "You will know later. I won't disturb the world of the two of you. If you want candles, you can find them in the rightmost drawer under the wine cabinet, but they are all white candles, sorry."

He Yu smiled when he heard the words, "Thanks, no need."

Li Tang waved his hand, "Then I'll go first, I have something to do at night, just close the door for me when you leave, the second floor is locked, don't worry."

He Yu asked, "Why don't you stay and try my cooking?"

Li Tang shook his head, took two steps back, then turned around and left with a wave of his hand.

He Yu was still looking at the back of Li Tang leaving, Qiao Mudong patted his shoulder with one hand, "Isn't there still a dish missing? Go in and have a look."

He Yu walked inside and asked, "What did you and Brother Li say for so long?"

Qiao Mudong said: "The matter of Hong Xiaomao."

He Yu was a little worried, "Brother Li is not in danger, is he?"

Qiao Mudong said: "Who is Li Tang? It's not your turn to worry about him, don't worry."

He Yu knows how to cook. When he was in middle school, sometimes his mother was too busy, so he would help with the cooking, but his skills were mediocre, even worse than Li Tang's.

He Yu finally cooked a soup, which was tomato fried egg soup. He was wearing an apron and took a big spoon by the pot and waited for the soup to boil.

Qiao Mudong stood guard at the door of the kitchen, looked at He Yu's back, and said, "You may consider taking off your clothes and pants, and cooking in only an apron."

He Yu didn't turn his head back, "You can consider letting Brother Li come back and find out and kill you."

When the soup was ready, He Yu scooped it into a big soup bowl with a spoon, and asked Qiao Mudong to help him take it out.He cooked three dishes and one soup, all of which were the simplest home-cooked dishes, and they were also his best dishes in the past.

It's not that I really want to eat something good, but I just want to share it with Qiao Mudong. He will have another job he likes starting tomorrow. If it goes well, he will save enough money in the future to buy a small house of his own. A simple life gradually erases the memories of the past, and one day he can still be that simple and happy He Yu.

He Yu took off his apron and washed his hands again. When he came out, he saw Qiao Mudong rummaging in front of the wine cabinet.

"Don't touch Brother Li's wine," He Yu said.

Qiao Mudong complained, "There is no red wine."

He Yu couldn't laugh or cry, "Who would go to this kind of restaurant to drink red wine? There are candles below, do you want to take two?"

Qiao Mudong squatted down, opened the drawer and saw a dozen or so white candles inside, probably prepared for a sudden power failure.

He Yu came over and closed the drawer, "Want to make a ghost movie?"

In the end, he opened a bottle of beer and put it in a glass cup, and the two touched it.Because Qiao Mudong had to drive at night, he didn't dare to drink too much, and only touched his lips symbolically.

The dishes are all side dishes, probably as Li Tang said, when He Yu cooks, Qiao Mudong tastes extra delicious, so he even eats two more bowls of rice, and finally stretches his waist to burp.

He Yu kicked him, "Get up and wash the dishes."

Qiao Mudong leaned back magnificently, pointed at He Yu, then crossed his arms and pointed towards the kitchen, "You go."

He Yu scolded: "Get out."

Qiao Mudong said: "I don't want to wash it away, I will save some money and let Li Tang come back to wash it."

He Yu stood up and put away the bowl, "Be careful when Brother Li comes back to wash you up."

Qiao Mudong also stood up, collected all the bowls and picked up the kitchen, He Yu put on his gloves and started washing the dishes, and he was watching from the side.

After watching for a while, Qiao Mudong walked over, turned He Yu around, picked him up and put him on the table next to the pool.

He Yu immediately wanted to jump down, "There is water!"

Qiao Mudong held him down to keep him from moving, and slightly lowered his head to kiss his lips.

At this moment, He Yu's cell phone rang suddenly. He pushed Qiao Mudong away and picked up the phone, but he heard Li Tang's voice, "I forgot to say, messing around in my shop is absolutely not allowed, honestly Eat, get out after eating."

When He Yu heard this, he kicked Qiao Mudong on the knee. The pain caused Qiao Mudong to jump back two steps involuntarily. He stretched out his hand to cover his knee and cursed, "Fuck, did you have a grudge in your previous life? Every strike is worse than once!"

He Yu jumped down and reached out to touch the water behind his pants, "Keep a distance from me, and go home immediately after packing."

Qiao Mudong said harshly, "Go home and kill you!"

The author has something to say: Today I will send a special episode:

Hong Minhang chased his cat down to the first floor, but his father grabbed the collar and threw it aside, "Don't make trouble."

Li Tang stretched out his hand to support Hong Minhang, and Hong Minhang looked up at him, feeling his heart beating a little faster.

Hong Xiangfeng asked him, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Hong Minhang shook his head.

Hong Xiangfeng complained impatiently, "Troublesome bastard." Then he said to Li Tang: "Give him something to eat."

Li Tang took Hong Minhang's hand and walked to the back kitchen, asking him as he walked, "What do you want to eat?"

Hong Minhang thought for a long time, and said: "Whatever."

Li Tang opened the refrigerator and saw that there was still half a bowl of leftover rice, so he said, "Can you fry an egg and fried rice?"

Hong Minhang gave a soft "hmm".

Li Tang started beating eggs, Hong Minhang retracted the hand that Li Tang held just now, feeling that his palms were sweating a little.

Li Tang's fingers were slender, and his movements were skilled. Even the simple egg-beating movements seemed particularly attractive to Hong Minhang.He couldn't help getting closer, Li Tang grabbed his arm and pushed him back, "Be careful of oil splashing."

In the weather in June, Li Tang only wore a thin white shirt, which fit well, and the waistline inside could be seen through the shirt, thin and strong.

Hong Minhang couldn't help poking Li Tang's waist with his fingers, Li Tang didn't seem to notice, he quietly withdrew his hand, his ears were red, he stood on tiptoe and pretended to watch his fried rice seriously.
