[Titanic + Comprehensive] Annie
Chapter 32
"Uncle Parker!"
"Oh! It's little Annie!" Parker smiled and handed Annie a small white porcelain plate. The sides of the porcelain plate were painted with intricate patterns of flowers and vines in gold stamping. A sweet scent spread from inside.
"Thank you, Uncle Parker!" Every time I see Uncle Parker, I will be fed, so happy! <(@ ̄︶ ̄@)>
Fortunately, Annie has a physique (?), which makes Annie feel very satisfied~
Parker was worried that the little girl would be too dry just eating biscuits, so seeing that the little girl had already sat down on the dining table, he turned around and began to prepare drinks for the young master.
While nibbling a biscuit, Annie quietly observed Parker who was busy walking around, and found that although he had a smile on his face, there was a look of sadness in his brows and eyes. Obviously, the problems at home had not been properly resolved.
Parker wasn't here these days, and Anne heard some news about Parker's house from the kitchen helpers.
For example, old Chuck was originally one of the chefs in Robert's family, and later resigned to work in Portsmouth for Parker's mother.
Although I don't know why Old Chuck, a chef, ended up working as a coolie, but at least let Anne know that Old Chuck can also cook.
In addition, old Chuck seems to have a daughter, but he ran away from home more than ten years ago, and now he doesn't know where she is. Everyone is wondering if something happened, so you can't come back?
Over the years, there have been many women who want to marry old Chuck or Parker. Both of them have some savings. They have no women and no children. The cost of two big men is not much at all, and Parker has a man in the town. The residence and living conditions are quite good, except that one person is a little fatter and has a bigger belly, and the other is a little older and older, but these are not big problems, but the peach blossoms are rejected by both father and son up.
Although both of them have savings, they are also worried about whether old Chuck can't help spending more money than he spends. What's more, old Chuck's leg injury can't be healed in a day or two. It may take half a year or even longer. It may take a long time. These medical expenses and living expenses are all problems.
And what about after the leg is healed?Who's going to hire old Chuck who's aged?It is said that it is cured, will there really be no sequelae in the future?These are the problems and pressures they have to face!
The kitchen is a gathering place for gossip, it is really a good place to collect information!
"Uncle Parker, is Grandpa Chuck okay?" After observing for a while, he found that after Parker brought the drink to him, he began to lose sight of it, and unconsciously wiped the table with a rag, without any intention of complaining to himself Anne had no choice but to take the initiative by herself!
Right!Who would complain about life to a 16-year-old girl?Especially since this little girl is one of his employers.Although he has always loved the little girl like a daughter, it can't change the employment relationship between the two of them!
After rubbing it, Parker fell into a state of ecstasy, sinking into his own thoughts, and completely forgot that there was a little girl sitting next to him, with her feet dangling, and holding the baked cake he specially baked for her. He gnawed the biscuit in small bites, so when he heard Annie's voice, Parker still couldn't get back to his senses: "Ah! Oh! It's not bad!" In addition to losing his job, breaking his leg, and worrying that the medical bills would blow up his pension, Other than being a little discouraged, everything is fine.
Such a perfunctory answer!
Annie sighed, it seemed that Uncle Parker would not take the initiative to speak out about the difficulties at home.
All right!Then take the initiative to the end by yourself!
"Uncle Parker, has Grandpa Chuck thought about what to do after recovering from his injury?"
Parker finally found out that the little girl really wanted to talk to him today, so he had no choice but to put down the rag, heaved a long sigh, and replied frowningly: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it after healing the injury!"
Seeing the sad appearance of the fat uncle who loved her since she was a child, Annie felt a little uncomfortable. After thinking about it, she decided to tell Parker her thoughts earlier.
"Uncle Parker, I heard that Grandpa Chuck was a great chef like you before?"
Parker looked at Annie in surprise, as if he was surprised that the little master would ask this question, "Yes! Your Uncle Parker's cooking skills were all taught by Grandpa Chuck!"
Wow!Isn't that very powerful?
Annie feels extremely happy every time she eats the food made by Parker!The deliciousness that makes your mouth water just thinking about it~
Sneak! ( ̄﹣ ̄) Hurry up and suck the drool back!
Annie forgot, in fact, at the beginning, she ate the food made by Parker with tears in her eyes. It was also the constant communication between the two of them later, and Parker's continuous learning and improvement, which made the food so suitable for Annie's taste. Unfortunately, because of the relationship between condiments and ingredients, Annie still can't eat authentic Chinese food until now, and can only satisfy herself in her dreams.
After swallowing a big mouthful of saliva, Annie asked Parker carefully: "Uncle Parker, I want to open a small snack shop, tell me, is it possible for Grandpa Chuck to help me?" After picking up the biscuit and taking a bite , Annie picked up the milk tea, while drinking, she peeked at Parker's expression from the edge of the porcelain cup.
This idea is what she came up with after summarizing various gossips and combining old Chuck's specialties. Since she likes to eat dim sum and Grandpa Chuck has craftsmanship, she should simply open a dim sum shop to benefit herself and the public at the same time. all right!
And as long as old Chuck is in charge of doing the work at home, Annie plans to hire another person to take care of the sales. In this way, even if old Chuck has inconvenient legs and feet, it will not have much impact.
What Annie didn't expect was that Parker didn't agree with him ecstatically. On the contrary, his hesitant expression made Annie's heart sink...
"Is there any difficulty?"
If it really doesn't work, I have to find another way. Uncle Parker took two days off before he came back. I still have 25 days to complete the task. The time is neither too little nor too much. I can have an accurate date today. Words are the best!
Parker was a little hesitant, but he knew in his heart that Miss Anne wanted to open a pastry shop because of his father. He also inquired with the housekeeper today. Robert's family is not short of people, even if there is, given his father's current situation It is also very difficult to be competent for the work here, so this suggestion made by Miss Anne is a timely help. It not only solves the family's financial resources, but also keeps Old Chuck from being too decadent. Since he was fired, Old Chuck's spirit is getting better day by day Poor, almost assuming that no one would hire him even if he had a good foot, he's a wretch.
only……
"Miss Anne..."
Anne was stunned by Parker's name, he rarely called her that, and almost always called her Little Annie Little Annie since she was a child.
Parker took a deep breath, "Miss Annie, my father hasn't worked in the kitchen for more than 30 years, and his craftsmanship may not be able to bear your trust."
In fact, the father and son also thought about it from the old business. The night before he returned to Robert’s house for vacation, old Chuck went into the kitchen in a wheelchair and tried to cook a dinner. Because of his leg injury, he couldn’t It's nothing more than a dish of Spanish stew.Old Chuck put the ingredients and seasonings himself, and then instructed Parker to help him stir fry. He made it under the control of the fire. Although the meal was not that bad, but he only took one bite. Old Chuck and Parker knew that this craft could not be sold out, at least, there was no way to make money from it.
"Grandpa Chuck's craftsmanship has regressed, isn't it?" Annie blinked her blue eyes and comforted Parker and said, "It's okay, it will take a while before I open the shop. During this time, Grandpa Chuck will practice more and regain his skills." That's it!" It's already possible, but it shouldn't be too difficult to pick up the skills, right?
Parker smiled bitterly. Indeed, more practice should make him much better. The problem is that now that old Chuck has been hit, he has given up on himself and doesn't want to go into the kitchen anymore.
"Well, your grandpa Chuck has a leg pain recently. I'm afraid he doesn't have the heart to go into the kitchen." In any case, Parker is still very grateful for Anne's kindness, but because of this, he can't let the little girl's pastry shop suffer any harm. The possibility of loss, if the old Chuck can get out of the haze and regain his craft in the future, presumably Annie, a kind girl, will accept Chuck at that time.
Hearing Parker's tactful refusal, Annie froze for a moment. To be honest, she really didn't think that her proposal would not be accepted.
Sore legs and no mood to get into the kitchen?
Well!It’s better to find a time to meet Old Chuck in person. Now she only knows the information from other people. She always needs to meet herself, understand the real situation and know the character of Old Chuck in person, so that she can build a better plan. .
After saying goodbye to Parker, Annie, who had just walked out of the kitchen, met Robert and Lily who were entering the door. The two seemed to be arguing about something, and Annie leaned over curiously.
"...Your heart is too soft, those people should let them bleed hard once!"
Annie: ⊙0⊙Wow!Lily's expression is so fierce!
Robert shook his head, and replied blankly: "It's not necessary, give me a warning first, and then I'll talk about it if I don't restrain myself."
Why did the conversation between these two people have a feeling of "really the most poisonous woman's heart"...
Are the roles reversed? 23333...
Shouldn't it be that Robert waved his hand and shouted: "The King of Tianliang!", and then Lily said hesitantly: "Why don't you give them another chance?" Is this right?
Annie, who was quite happy in her own imagination, stood by the door waiting to welcome her brothers and sisters in.
The fight was futile, Lily turned her head in frustration and saw her younger sister looking at her with a strange expression, and said angrily, "Why are you looking at me like that? Here! I haven't forgotten your snack."
Annie clutched in pain the stomach that was stuffed with fragrant biscuits by the fat chef.
oops!Forgot to ask Lili to go to "Tang Ning's Bakery" to buy limited cakes for me today, I was too full just now, what should I do?
Annie, who wanted to cry without tears, was about to ignore Sanqi 21 and reach out to take the exquisite box from Lily, but Lily suddenly withdrew her hand and took the beautiful snack box back.
(⊙_⊙) Huh?
"Wait!" Lily looked Annie up and down, then leaned close to her and smelled it, and asked suspiciously, "Did you just eat snacks?"
Annie: ┭┮﹏┭┮
Lily, you are not Mo, why do you know that I just ate when you wrinkled your nose and sniffed it?
"This..." Annie clasped her hands tightly and stuck them to her skirt, nervously thinking about how to answer so as not to lose the snacks that Lily specially went to line up to bring back.
What does Lili not understand when she sees her younger sister's fluttering eyes and her guilty gesture of clenching her hands?Immediately, his face was stern, "Leave the dim sum here first, and I'll give it to you tomorrow."
"Then it's not fresh!" When the long-awaited dessert was gone, how could Annie not be in a hurry? "Besides, the cake tastes best when it's fresh out of the oven!"
Lily squinted at her younger sister, seeing Annie circling around her as nervously as Ah Mo when she was hungry, her heart softened, "Otherwise, let's treat it as an after-dinner snack." Thinking of Annie's stomach ache from eating too much last time experience, and added, "but only a small piece."
→_→The two sisters find the same reference for each other, Ah Mo, you have worked hard...
"Oh! It's little Annie!" Parker smiled and handed Annie a small white porcelain plate. The sides of the porcelain plate were painted with intricate patterns of flowers and vines in gold stamping. A sweet scent spread from inside.
"Thank you, Uncle Parker!" Every time I see Uncle Parker, I will be fed, so happy! <(@ ̄︶ ̄@)>
