Rebirth: Be Your Space

Before Zhang Meng was 10 years old, he lived with his grandfather in a small village on the back of the mountain. His parents went to the city to work when he was only a few years old. After working hard for several years, they finally gained a firm foothold in a county-level city. to the side.No matter how much the Zhang family persuaded the old man, he refused to leave the village. He insisted on living alone at the foot of the mountain where he had been staying all his life.Zhang Meng's parents can be regarded as filial, but they can't help the old man, so they can only take their son to run around diligently.

Zhang Meng was brought up by his grandfather since he was a child, and the village he lives in is backed by mountains, so he would follow his grandfather into the mountains since he was a child.It is said that Mr. Zhang was also a scholar in his ancestors. Later, the world was not good, and because of the literati's nobility, he went to the small mountain village here to escape from the world. Later, he followed an old Chinese doctor to help the villagers see a doctor, and he also gained more skills for living.So before Zhang Meng went to high school, he had studied with his grandfather for a few years. Although he was not qualified to see a doctor, he had learned medicinal herbs for so many years. He was asked by his grandfather to read some medical books a few years ago. It is not a problem to help the villagers when they see a doctor.

When Zhang Meng first entered high school, Mr. Zhang's body became unwell, and he didn't last until the spring of the second year.According to the old man's deathbed instructions, the Zhang family laid a grave at the foot of the mountain outside the village, and since then they have come to visit the grave once a year.

Before Mr. Zhang passed away, he gave Zhang Meng a glass-like transparent bead, which was about the same size as the glass marbles Zhang Meng played with when he was a child, but with a faint blue color, which was extremely dazzling in the sun.The old man said that it was handed down from his great-grandfather, and it is said that it was a gift from a hermit who was able to accumulate blessings and ensure safety.Although he is noncommittal about this kind of statement, it is a relic of his grandfather after all. Zhang Meng still carries it with him as instructed. Since the beads have no holes or buckles for threading, Zhang Meng can only find a small brocade bag and hang it next to his body. chest.Although the clothes are not flat, it is not in the way.

After studying high school in a county-level city, Zhang Meng's grades are basically only in the middle, which belongs to the level that has been narrowly flying above the average score. He can barely go to a self-financed university with three books, and there is no hope for a school with two books.The Zhang family heard people say that the computer industry is very popular these days, so they cruelly enrolled Zhang Meng with three majors in computer science at a high cost, hoping to make him the kind of IT talent that others said.

The school is in a big city along the coast. Zhang Meng, who grew up in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, came to the big city for the first time. Everything he saw was very fresh, especially all kinds of snacks and delicacies. Zhang Meng was dazzled and salivated.Since then, Zhang Meng's college life has started with all kinds of food.

During his four years in college, Zhang Meng was not very interested in computer majors. He was not obsessed with computers and games like most boys nowadays. After the tragedy of being caught, I successfully got the credits.On the contrary, he has made great progress in eating.

At first, Zhang Meng almost eliminated all entertainment activities that required money, and all the money he saved became his gourmet expenses. He ate all the major restaurants and snacks around the school, and he didn't bring a repeat of each meal.Fortunately, he was born with a body that is not easy to get fat, otherwise he would have become a fat man in the first semester.

Later, he finally realized that even if there were no extra entertainment expenses, the food expenses would still be huge, and the Zhang family’s monthly living expenses for him were limited. After all, this way of eating was not a long-term solution. The most ideal of course is catering.Although Zhang Meng is not very involved in some popular activities among classmates, as long as it is related to eating, he is still there. As time goes by, everyone knows that he is gluttonous.After being introduced by a local classmate in the same dormitory, Zhang Meng was actually found a kitchen job in a well-known farm restaurant.

The chef, himself the boss, is most famous for his homemade boiled fish, stewed pork vermicelli, and chicken soup with cordyceps. Zhang Meng had to wait in line for nearly an hour to taste it, and he deserved it.This time I have the opportunity to help in the kitchen. Zhang Meng is thinking about learning superficiality. The master is also an easy-going uncle. Seeing that the guy looks clean and delicate, he knows Zhang Meng’s passion for food, so he is willing to teach him After one or two hands, Zhang Meng was found to be quite talented in cooking, so he gradually taught him everything.

Knowing that Zhang Meng had a certain understanding of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, the master chef also suggested that he could try to make medicinal food. For this reason, Zhang Meng also taught himself the theory of culinary science and nutrition during his spare time, combined with his own knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine , the level of finished medicated diet products after continuous attempts and improvements is already quite high.

Throughout his sophomore and junior year, apart from coping with school courses and exams, and going home during the holidays, Zhang Meng almost mingled in restaurants. Not to mention the extra income, he also made rapid progress in cooking skills. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the only thing lacking is experience.The Zhang family also vaguely knew that Zhang Meng had a part-time job, but they thought he was just making trouble, and as long as it didn't affect his studies, he didn't take it seriously.

In the blink of an eye, it was the senior year, and everyone started to run around for their livelihood after graduation, and Zhang Meng had to put his focus back on the computer.Zhang Meng's school is considered to be strong in computer science, but compared with some first-tier and second-tier schools, its competitiveness is still much weaker. Zhang Meng himself is not considered an outstanding member, and he has been handing out resumes at job fairs everywhere. Didn't get a good response.In such a tense period, the work of Zhang Meng's restaurant can only stop, and only occasionally help out.The master of the restaurant has long regarded him not just as a small worker, Zhang Meng is his apprentice who has graduated from the teacher.

One day, Zhang Meng returned to the restaurant after finishing a job interview, just in time for dinner preparation. After greeting the waiter on duty, he went into the kitchen to help.After finally getting through the busy schedule, Zhang Meng and the chef had time to sit down and rest their stomachs.Recently, the business in the store has been getting better and better, repeat customers keep coming, and new customers come here one after another.During the rest of the day, the chef asked Zhang Meng to wait before leaving, saying that he had something to say.

It turned out that he had a good childhood friend who had just returned from abroad and hadn’t been in China for many years. He missed his craftsmanship so much and wanted to invite him to help cook an authentic Chinese farm meal at home on weekends.Coincidentally, taking advantage of this opportunity, the chef was going to give everyone in the store a holiday. Usually, when the business is good, they usually work overtime.So that day, I wanted Zhang Meng to go and fight him. After all, he was an apprentice taught by himself, and he cooperated well.Anyway, there is nothing to do on weekends, so Zhang Meng is naturally happy to help his master.

In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend, and Zhang Meng arrived at the master's residence early in the morning. Not long after, an Audi came to pick up the two of them. Sitting in the back seat of the car, Zhang Meng couldn't help but look around. Men, few people can understand the car. As for the resistance, Zhang Meng couldn't help but mutter in his heart.When the car passed through most of the urban area and drove into a quiet villa area, the well-groomed gardens and European-style buildings on both sides were another surprise. When the car drove into a gate in the depths, Zhang Meng could not bear Chef Zhuhe bit his ear, tsk, this is not a private house, the gate is more grand than the gate of the school, rich people~

Being slapped on the shoulder by the master, it turned out that the car had stopped. Zhang Meng frowned embarrassedly, and hurriedly got out of the car to follow the butler who was leading the way.

When I entered the house, I saw the host was waiting.The chef greeted a middle-aged man standing in the middle with a cane. It seemed that this was the friend who invited the chef this time.Seeing that the two uncles chatted there for a while, the master chef also introduced Zhang Meng, the little apprentice, to everyone, and then took Zhang Meng into the kitchen to prepare.

This time it was mainly to prepare dinner, and it took time to cook the soup, so after cooking the chef’s special dish, Cordyceps Chicken Soup, the two of them first made a few simple and easy-to-eat farm dishes for everyone’s lunch, a small farm fried pork, A dish of duck with potatoes and beer, a dish of roasted tofu with cured meat, and the chef's special dish stewed pork vermicelli.

In addition, Zhang Meng also made a special serving of Atractylodes yam porridge, because he saw that although the master uncle seemed to be in good spirits, he was actually a little thin, his complexion was dirty and pale, and he had no blood, and he was short of breath and weak when he spoke. Such people often think that eating nutrient-rich food will be fine for their bodies. In fact, if they take in too much nutrients, the protein in the food will not only not be fully absorbed, but also increase the burden on the kidneys during metabolism.This can be regarded as a misunderstanding that rich people will enter.

Atractylodes yam porridge can invigorate the spleen and kidneys, Atractylodes macrocephala nourishes the spleen, warms the stomach and helps digestion, yam can regulate the human immune system, and wolfberry has the function of nourishing the liver and kidneys. Combining these three materials together to make porridge can strengthen the spleen Tonify the kidney and strengthen the muscles.This lunch was a feast for the guests and hosts.

Zhang Meng and the chef also had lunch with the host's family. It turned out that the family's surname was Yan, and his family immigrated to country M more than 20 years ago. In recent years, the old man's health has become worse and worse, so he thought about returning to China. .Yan Family's business in country M seems to be doing very well, and even extended its branch to country Z many years ago, so it will be so smooth to move the company's focus back to China this time.

Apart from Master and apprentice Zhang Meng, this lunch was only for Mr. Yan and a secretary whose surname was Situ. I heard that this secretary was with Mr. Yan. The two young masters returned to the company in country Z to prepare.Speaking of the two young masters of the Yan family, they didn't show up at noon that day, but the youngest asked Secretary Situ to tell him that the company had something to do and would come back for dinner.

After lunch, Mr. Yan went back to his room to rest. Zhang Meng followed the master to get busy. The Baizhu yam porridge made at noon was very suitable for Mr. Zhang. Stomach, so as not to make the following dishes too nourishing and greasy.

After another hour of busy work, the master and apprentice finally prepared all the dishes, and it was not too far before the meal time, so they packed up and said goodbye to Mr. Yan.After all, the dinner was a gathering of other people's family, and Zhang Meng and his apprentice were not to be disturbed, so they insisted on leaving after the old man repeatedly persuaded him to stay.

Saying goodbye to the old man, Zhang Meng thought he still had the chance to take the previous Audi R8, but found that the one parked at the door was replaced by a more flamboyant Jaguar XKR-S, a rich man~

Before he finished sighing, he saw a man get off the driver's seat. He was dressed in a straight suit, which made him look more upright. A suit is for making a man look handsome. Zhang Meng couldn't help but slander in his heart.After seeing the visitor clearly, the facial features were slightly deeper than those of Asians, and the almost black eyes showed a trace of blue under the light curtain. Before Zhang Meng was surprised, the visitor walked up to Zhang Meng's master and apprentice.After being introduced by the housekeeper, I found out that this is Yan Jin, the second young master of the Yan family. Because the old man's second wife is of mixed Chinese and English, so the second young master Yan is three quarters of mixed Chinese and English. No wonder he looks different.

Yan Ershao handed over the key to the driver who had brought Zhang Meng and the two of them earlier, and just greeted the butler coldly before entering the house.

Sitting in the car later, thinking about Yan Jin's attitude just now, Zhang Meng couldn't help thinking about it.However, Zhang Meng's experience this day is just one of many trivial things, and the people he meets today are just one of the many living beings.At least, that's what he thought at the time.

One month after the Yan family and his party, when Zhang Meng almost forgot about that day, he did not expect to meet that somewhat indifferent mixed-race second young master again. When he was in a rush for an interview and squeezed into the elevator that was about to close, the only person in the elevator was Yan Jin.

For a while, Zhang Meng didn't know whether he should say hello or not, but seeing that the man gave him a weird look when he came in and then didn't pay any attention to him, Zhang Meng gave up this idea, and suddenly remembered that he was going to The personnel department on the fifth floor was dumbfounded when they wanted to press the button. The front desk said Weifeng's personnel department was on the fifth floor, but the elevator went straight to the top floor, the 88th floor, with one click!The outstretched hand froze in front of the button for a few seconds before withdrawing it awkwardly. Obviously, in the elevator, there was no feeling of overweight when ascending, but Zhang Meng had the illusion that he would take this elevator to the moon.

So, he took the wrong elevator!When Zhang Meng realized this, the elevator stopped at the 88th floor with a "ding dong". As soon as the door opened, he rushed out, found the stairs at the safe exit, and rushed all the way down. He was going to be late for the interview. !Moreover, he would never admit that he felt ashamed in front of that person.

Seeing Zhang Meng who recklessly rushed into the elevator and then recklessly rushed out, Yan Jin had a rare expression other than no expression, and for a fraction of a second, the corner of his mouth moved upwards. one centimeter.Just about to step out of the elevator to go to the CEO's office, I suddenly found a small brocade bag lying on the carpet at the elevator entrance. The handwork is not exquisite but it seems to be well preserved. At least it was kept close to me before it was lost here. Because the brocade bag still carries a little bit of human body temperature.It will be lost on this level, and the owner will only be the rash man before.Opening the brocade bag, there was a glass bead inside, seeing nothing special, Yan Jin put the bag in his pocket, he remembered that the boy seemed to have visited his house before, the housekeeper should know.Then put it behind me.

Zhang Meng rushed down more than 80 floors in one breath, and finally rushed to the fifth floor where Weifeng's human resources department is located before he got down. , suddenly panicked, the interview went through a transition in a daze, and then climbed all the way up again, until I climbed to the top of the stairs again, but there was no trace of the brocade bag.

Want to enter the floor but found that this security door can only be opened from the inside, that is to say, you can go out but not in.It's no wonder, after all, it's the top-floor office area, and it's impossible for anyone to come in and out at will.After finally returning to the first floor, I thought about taking the elevator up again, only to realize that the elevator I got on before was actually an exclusive elevator, and it couldn't be started without an identification card.With nothing to follow, Zhang Meng could only go back to the front desk, and was told that if he wanted to go to the top floor, he had to go through the secretariat on the 87th floor, because the 88th floor was the president's office.In desperation, Zhang Meng had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the elevator to the 87th floor. The only thing he could think about was how to convince the secretaries to let him go up.

At the same time, the exclusive elevator also began to descend from the top floor. When the two elevators crossed halfway, it was as if the pause button was pressed. After a moment of darkness, there was an endless free fall.Zhang Meng, on the other hand, unfortunately passed out when he was slammed against the elevator wall by weightlessness at the very beginning.

When the two elevators finally fell to the bottom, the whole building boiled up. The loud noise and the smoke and dust from the ground floor confirmed the accident. However, when the search and rescue team arrived and pried open the seriously deformed elevator When the door was opened, there was no one inside, and everyone was glad that there were no casualties in this accident, but no one knew that a person named Zhang Meng disappeared in this elevator in this world, and at the same time, there was also a person in the exclusive elevator. that person.And the camera in the elevator was disturbed by some kind of interference. It malfunctioned before the accident and failed to record the last figure of the two people.

The author has something to say: I originally wanted to lay the groundwork and wear it directly, but I accidentally procrastinated and procrastinated. I hope everyone can read this part patiently.
