Year after year

Lin Yu sent Jing Sui off with mixed feelings in his heart.He knew that the simpler Jing Sui said about many things, the harder it was to imagine the real situation.An understatement is nothing more than not wanting to magnify one's own suffering and add it to others.Lin Yu understood Jing Sui's painstaking efforts, this feeling of encountering another world, panic and helplessness, and needed someone to help resolve it.

However, before Lin Yu could finish his decision, the reality couldn't wait to push him away.A week later, Mr. Zou from the upstairs came to find Lin Yu specially, saying that the house had taken over.

"A relative of mine." Mr. Zou gnawed on the apple that Lin Yu gave him, and said, "I want to open a clothing store or something, and I've taken a fancy to your front door."

"Come here after the next year?" Lin Yu avoided Mr. Zou's spittle, "What about the others?"

"I found it too." Mr. Zou said vaguely, "So Xiao Lin, let's change the place when the contract is over."

Lin Yu felt the bleakness of autumn in advance at the end of hot August.

How should I explain to the employees, how to sell the things in Heyeli, and what should I do.The arrival of Mr. Zou punctured the pink bubbles around Lin Yu these days. He reminded Lin Yu that it is time for you to plan for the future.

So during the video call with Ying Hengnian at night, Lin Yu seemed particularly listless. ,

"What's wrong with you?" Ying Hengnian noticed Lin Yu's strangeness, "What happened?"

"It's nothing, I just have some doubts." Lin Yu suddenly wanted to hear Ying Hengnian's suggestion, "Ying Hengnian, tell me, if I don't make peace, what else can I do?"

"What happened to He Ye?" Ying Hengnian was very sensitive, "What happened to He Ye? You tell me, I will definitely..."

Lin Yu quickly interrupted Ying Hengnian's wild thoughts: "Nothing happened. Let me ask you, you said, I don't want to make peace, what else can I do?"

Since Lin Yu repeatedly denied it, Ying Hengnian did not doubt him. He thought about it for a while and said, "Come and be my personal chef. I will pay you [-] a month, including food and lodging."

"Go away, I'm serious."

"I'm very serious! We can go to other restaurants to taste food together to find inspiration." Ying Hengnian said, "I heard Brother Jing Sui said that you always go to him first when you have new dishes?"

Lin Yu's breath was tightened by the sour smell in Ying Hengnian's words, and he said after a long time: "Brother Jing Sui and I got to know each other first..."

Ying Hengnian didn't answer, but just looked at Lin Yu directly.

Lin Yu was stared at by Ying Hengnian helplessly: "Alright, alright, I will call you from now on."

Ying Hengnian showed a "that's right" smile.

"But your proposal is not useless." At 11:30, Lin Yu was about to close the line, "No, I have a question for you."

"Tell me." Ying Hengnian took out the materials to be used the next day.

"Did you invite a lot of friends to have dinner with you?" Lin Yu thought of the convertible sports cars parked at the gate, "You don't have to... solicit business, really..."

"I haven't." Ying Hengnian was puzzled, "Except for Brother Jing Sui, I haven't mentioned peace with anyone else."

"Who is that? Brother Jingsui? Why is he soliciting customers for me at this time?" Since it's not Ying Hengnian, it's because this group of rich second generations came here on a whim, and Lin Yuba can't help but earn more money. It’s not a big deal, it’s just that they always park their cars on the sidewalk, especially at the gate, they are very close together, and I see Miss Wen Qian’s fear every time she picks up a dustpan.”

"Hearing what you said, it looks like the style of those people." Ying Hengnian said, "It's okay, I'll ask for you, you go to bed first."

"OK, good night."

Lin Yu planned to talk with the employees about whether to stay or stay after the matter of Heye's new location was settled, but there was a rule called "good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles".Within a few days of Mr. Zou's visit, the three of Pang Hai knew about the rent due issue.

"What are you going to do?" Pang Hai asked Lin Yu when he was preparing dishes in the back kitchen, "Are you still open?"

"Open." Lin Yu said, "It's just that the new location hasn't been found yet."

"What about the store?"

"It is estimated that a lot will be sold."

The listings of houses in Tongchuan City are not in a day or two. Lin Yu walked around the old city in the past two days, but he didn't see any suitable ones.The new city is also fine, Lin Yu thought, the location doesn't need to be too busy, as long as there is a place to park.

But the trip to the new city was not smooth. There are suitable places, but the residents there are unwilling to open a restaurant with heavy oily smoke downstairs—let alone a straight chimney.

Lin Yuchou got angry, and September will be over in a blink of an eye, and there is still no definite plan for the new store.

It is not impossible to serve as a temporary chef for other restaurants to buffer.Lin Yu comforted himself, looking for it again, there will always be one.

Lin Yu didn't tell Ying Hengnian that he couldn't find the store location. Ying Hengnian was busier than him, as can be seen from his black eye sockets.The chatting between the two of them before going to bed also played a role in comforting each other. Although Lin Yu was still very anxious, at least he could fall asleep at night.

The turning point came in mid-October.Autumn in Tongchuan is slow and cool, and it is common for autumn tigers to stay until October.Hu Yuanzhou came with a bottle of self-brewed sweet-scented osmanthus wine. There were very few customers at noon. Lin Yu was sitting at the bar reading the newspaper, and suddenly heard Hu Yuanzhou say: "Ayu, it would be great if your store opened near my house."

"What's the matter, Huber?" Lin Yu looked up from the newspaper, "Why did you say this suddenly?"

"Isn't it going to be cold?" Hu Yuanzhou poured wine for himself, "The old man has bad legs, so he can't come this far."

"Hu Bo, to be honest, I won't do it after finishing this year." There was no one else in the hall, Lin Yu said, "The rent is due. Oh, yes, I will count your fee."

"Wait a minute!" Hu Yuanzhou stopped holding the wine, "What did you say? You won't do it?"

"Yeah." Lin Yu's voice was a little lonely, "I can't help the landlord drive me away."

"What are you talking about!" Hu Yuanzhou was angry, "Xiao Lin, let me ask you, do you dislike the top floor?"

"what?"

"He doesn't want you, I want it." Hu Yuanzhou drank the sweet-scented osmanthus wine, typesetting, "Go to see the house with me in the afternoon, just a word!"

When Hu Yuanzhou led Lin Yu to the intersection of the State Administration of Taxation in the old city, Lin Yu thought he was dreaming.

Are we here to transfer cars?Lin Yu thought.

As a result, Hu Yuanzhou took him straight to a self-built small western-style building opposite the tax bureau. There are many such buildings in the old city.

"Don't be disgusted." Hu Yuanzhou took out the key and opened the door, "I opened the small shop in front, selling cigarettes, drinks and so on. I live here, my daughter thinks it's noisy, I'm old, hey, I can't hear you!"

"It's lively here." Lin Yu continued.

"I just drew this." Hu Yuanzhou said, "I'm afraid of being lonely when I'm old, so I moved here. The second floor is connected to the front, and this staircase leads directly to the third floor. If you really want to rent here, you can start to contact the decoration It’s hard to find people at the end of the year, and they all go home to celebrate the New Year.”

Hu Yuanzhou opened the door: "But the place is really not that big, let's barely fit four tables."

Lin Yu walked in and saw that indeed, half of the third floor was a terrace, and the room was about the same size as Kazuya's hall.

There is also the kitchen, Lin Yu thought, it would be difficult to place four tables.

"How is it?" Hu Yuanzhou asked, "Does it look okay?"

"Hu Bo, I have to go back and think about it." Lin Yu said, "He also has to figure out how to clean it up."

Hu Yuanzhou understood: "Then you think it over and call me directly, I'm downstairs."

After Lin Yu and Hu Yuanzhou thanked each other, they returned to Heye.Hu Yuanzhou's house is located in a very good location, with convenient transportation and a view of the river.But after the kitchen is installed, there will be no more than three tables in the foyer... No, three tables are too crowded, two tables will be placed.

Do four tables of business a day, and I will go to the wind?

"It's not impossible to open a private kitchen." Ying Hengnian said to Lin Yu during the video feed at night, "The reason why your vegetables are cheap now is because the raw materials are not expensive."

"Will there really be a source of customers?" Lin Yu was afraid that others would look down on him, "After all, my experience is 'nearly ten years of home-cooked food'."

"This...what I said doesn't seem convincing." Ying Hengnian said, "But I will bring someone over."

"Restaurants rely on word of mouth." Lin Yudao, "If you don't like the taste, let alone recommend it, next time..."

"Ayu, why do you have doubts about your own craftsmanship? You have 'nearly ten years of home-cooking' experience." Ying Hengnian said with a smile, "Private chefs always have to find someone to try at the beginning. As for the dishes, I will slowly make a reservation in the future.”

Lin Yu stopped talking, because he still had a worry, and everyone came here because of Ying Hengnian's face.

"How much food do you pay for?" Lin Yu finally said, "That's the reason—let me think about it."

"Ayu, you just said that restaurants rely on word of mouth."

"Ok?"

"So you have to believe in yourself first. After so many years, haven't you been driving He Ye?" Ying Hengnian looked at Lin Yu solemnly, "If you really lose it, don't be afraid, I will accompany you looking at you."

"So do it, do it when you think of it."

Lin Yu thought about it for a few days, and Ying Hengnian blew pillow wind at him every day—he was still young. On the last Wednesday of October, Lin Yu went to No. [-] Luyue Road to find Hu Yuanzhou to sign the contract.Hu Yuanzhou was so happy that his elderly life of cooking noodles at night could finally come to an end.

"I'm going to pretend simply." Lin Yu said to Hu Yuanzhou, "Half a month should be enough, right?"

"I can't do it." Hu Yuanzhou immediately denied, "Nowadays, people only eat decorations. If your environment is poor, they feel that they have no reputation. How can they bring customers or something to show off?"

Lin Yu was silent, and he couldn't change the affordable style of home cooking.

"Find a reliable decoration company." Hu Yuanzhou said, "You have a small place now, so you need to design it well."

Lin Yu is not in a hurry for the decoration, now that the place is settled, he has to settle the matter with Kazuya first.During dinner, Lin Yu briefly talked about the new store, and asked the other three about their plans for the future.

"I've been looking for a place for years to come." Wen Qian is going to go back to her hometown to see her mother after she and Ye are closed, "Boss, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the new store."

Qian Guoxiang said that if Lin Yu didn't dislike her, she could continue to do it.

Pang Hai was still struggling. He knew that as long as he mentioned Lin Yu, he would definitely keep him, but he wanted to go out and do it himself. He always felt like being watched by his mother around Lin Yu.

Lin Yu didn't blame anyone, it was voluntary whether he followed or not.It is also human nature to find a new home immediately when you feel that there is no guarantee in the future.

"It's okay, now my plan is to close this place at the end of November, and then pack up." Lin Yu said, "The new place will be renovated in December, and it will open next year. When will I Will let you know. Thank you all over the years."
