Li Guanying clicked her tongue secretly, and quietly sent a message to Xia Bing.

"The chairman is really not in a good mood today, and just made a big fuss."

Xia Bing quickly replied to the message: "Understood. I am not at home tonight because I have something to do. You can discuss dinner with Brother Zhen. Go to bed early."

Li Guanying sent an emoji full of question marks, and added: "What's the matter? Are you going to be busy until late?"

"I can't rule out the possibility...Isn't it, I quickly understood what you mean!" Xia Bing replied.

Li Guanying stared blankly at the reply, then smiled knowingly.

Xia Bing was not idle all day.He accompanied Wu Tian to find an old colleague who used to work with An Lan and Wu Yuemei when "Shudi Angelica" was still in the club.

That man was a kitchen guy back then, surnamed Chen, and like An Lan, he worked in the kitchen.Now, he has become a senior dim sum chef in a tea house.It took a lot of trouble to find him. Originally, he refused to meet, but when he heard that the person who invited him was Wu Yuemei's son, Master Chen quickly agreed.

The place where they meet is the teahouse where Master Chen works now.

It is a very traditional Cantonese-style tea house, and the busiest time of day is from morning to morning.

Early in the morning, many local old people who have inherited traditional living habits and have retired like to come here to order a cup of tea, two dim sum, crystal shrimp dumplings or tiger skin chicken feet.Watching the news slowly by yourself, or chatting with friends about the news and gossip, or having short stories with parents, can kill a whole morning.Then there are those businessmen who have achieved economic freedom, or charter housewives, or connect with business partners to discuss the latest business opportunities; or gossip with girlfriends to discuss new cooking methods.

But obviously, these seem not to adapt to the pace of life of young people.

Therefore, when two young men, Xia Bing and Wu Tian, ​​took their numbers and came here to wait for a seat, they attracted the attention of the grandpas and grandmas who were waiting in line. "This young boy is so pretty, do you want to come and see him?" "Why don't you meet their elders?" "I don't know if there is a kind of girl..."

Embarrassed, Wu Tian lowered his head and moved behind Xia Bing. "Brother...I always feel like they're watching us."

Xia Bing smiled: "It doesn't matter~ It doesn't matter if there is, I don't like young people coming out for morning tea. Ah Tim, you have been in the night show, why are you so shy when you line up?"

Wu Tian sighed: "The night show is different from this... After all, it's not being watched by the elders. By the way, will it be noisy in the lobby later? Let's..."

Xia Bing patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "It's okay. It's time to open a private room!"

But the fact is... because the business of the store is so good and the tea seats are tight, private rooms are not open for less than four people.As soon as Xia Bing gritted his teeth, he ordered two more tea seats.As a result, they queued for a long time, and it was almost eleven o'clock at noon, so they got a private room and sat down to rest and drink a pot of tea.

Master Chen is naturally not finished.But this time is already a lot free.He asked Wu Tian and Xia Bing to wait for a while on WeChat, and recommended several pastries to them by the way.

The Tieguanyin tea soup is rich, and it is very refreshing when paired with horseshoe coconut milk mille-feuille cake.

A few pieces of pastries, paired with hot tea, are really satisfying.

After they were full, a middle-aged man in a Polo shirt and slacks walked in and asked with a smile, "Who is Xiao Wu?"

Wu Tian stood up quickly: "It's me. Are you Uncle Chen?"

"Well, yes." Master Chen nodded, looked him up and down with a smile, his eyes were full of nostalgia and amazement. "Hey, I guess it's you too. You are so tall, but your facial features look very much like Amei when you were young! Oh, how is your mother now? Why didn't she come with you?"

Wu Tian flattened the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly. "My mother... got sick a while ago and passed away."

"Ah?" Master Chen was startled, he couldn't believe it, he opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time. "Hey, how did this happen... She used to be the most diligent, rushing to do all kinds of work, and even mentioned to our head chef that she wanted to help in the back kitchen. It's a pity that she has no foundation, and we don't have enough manpower. I have time to teach her by hand..."

After saying hello, Xia Bing sat next to Wu Tian and listened to their chat.But when it comes to Wu Yuemei who also wanted to study in the back kitchen, Xia Bing was the first to ask.

"However, this junior heard that Aunt Wu has a close friend who works in the kitchen and is already a trainee cook. If she wants to learn how to cook, she can use her free time with that close friend..."

Master Chen looked at Xia Bing: "This handsome boy, you just introduced him as Xiao Wu's brother? Are you also Amei's son?"

"Uh, no." Xia Bing explained: "Xiao Tian and I are brothers who love each other. We also care about Aunt Wu's affairs very much, so we specially accompanied him to visit Master Chen."

"Oh..." Master Chen sighed and shook his head shyly: "I had the same thought as you back then, thinking that they are good sisters who will help each other. But who knows, this An Lan... .....well."

An Lan also taught Wu Yuemei cooking skills in front of others, but she failed repeatedly, causing a lot of kitchen ingredients to be scrapped.

At first, everyone thought it was funny, and they all watched them being lively.

But the more failures, the greater the loss, and I have to take time to take care of the aftermath, wash the pot, wash the dishes... the mind is tired, and the body is also tired.Everyone can't take it anymore.

The head chef put a label on Wu Yuemei, saying that she is not suitable for cooking.If such a level enters the back kitchen, then returning customers will probably never come to our house again!

As a result, Wu Yuemei gave up by herself, and no longer mentioned the matter of coming to the back kitchen, and she didn't come here often.

"Amei, she is just too simple. I don't know what kind of riddle An Lan has poured into her. She will believe whatever An Lan says. He cheerfully worships An Lan as an idol every day, but how does An Lan treat him? What about it? Hey, this person is really not good and too hypocritical!" Master Chen resentfully. "The thing I regret the most in my life is not being able to tell her clearly what kind of person An Lan is!"

"Aunt An?" Wu Tian and Xia Bing looked at each other, held Master Chen's hand eagerly, and begged, "Tell me about her! What did she do back then?" What kind of person is she?

"You call her Aunt An? Are you still in contact?" Master Chen frowned, showing a very confused expression.
