I was hungry, just hungry when I was outside the village. But when I sat in the mutton restaurant, I started to yearn for food. I couldn't even control my body when this plate of meat was placed in front of me.

I reached for the meat and tried to stuff it in my mouth.

But I held back. It's uncivilized, I'm educated, it's not good, it's a joke. I muttered this phrase in silence, trembling as I took a pair of chopsticks.

I don't know if the chopsticks were even used against me, but I hurriedly picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into my mouth. I gulped, not knowing what the first taste of meat was, because my stomach was as hungry as a fire.

The first piece of meat fell like a new firewood into the fire, pressing down on the flames. The hunger subsided a little, but soon after, a hungrier feeling spread through the air.

I swept the meat off the table like a whirlwind. When I finished eating, I found that my stomach was bulging unknowingly.

I smacked my lips. I was in too much of a hurry to eat just now. I had no idea what the meat tasted like. I sighed and felt that it was a pity to have a plate of mutton.

So I put the chopsticks on the table... Hm? Where are my chopsticks? I only have a short piece of chopstick left in my hand, could it be that I ate this chopstick?

I rubbed my stomach and looked at the boss guiltily. I found that the boss was also looking at me with a smile. Needless to say, he had a panoramic view of what I had just done.

I smiled a little embarrassedly as I stood up and said, "Boss, I'm full."

The owner nodded.

I always felt a little embarrassed to leave like this, as I wasn't used to eating a tyrannical meal. I scratched my head and said to the boss: "How about you take this Mint?"

The owner shook his head and smiled, "No, no. Even if you give me the Mint, I don't need it. "

Awkwardly, I kept the Mint. The boss said, "Young man, if you really feel embarrassed, go to the kitchen and help me out. If you work all day for me, then it would be equivalent to paying for a meal."

I hesitated. "But I'm looking for my friend."

The boss seemed to be warm-hearted, "Are you looking for a friend? "What's the name of your friend?"

I replied, "It's called Little Tang Wei."

The boss thought about it and said, "I've never heard of this name before, but it's alright." You can relax and go to the back kitchen to rest for a while. I have a few friends here. I told them to look for it. With so many people, it should be possible to find them. "

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. "What happened today?" When you go out and meet a noble. "

The boss was definitely not fawning on me. He rushed out, and I could even hear him grabbing onto someone on the street as he loudly asked, "Hey, Ergouzi, do you know a person called Little Tang Wei? Ah? I don't know him, so why don't you help me ask someone else? When word spreads, it will spread like wildfire. Hurry up and find this person. "

I couldn't be too rude to be bothered to help me find someone, so I lifted the curtain and went to the kitchen.

At this time I was a little excited, because theoretically the back kitchen should have a mountain of mutton and countless fragrant dishes. Even though I was full, I was still extremely excited when I thought of the taste.

However, when I walked to the kitchen, I was stunned. The furnishings were very simple. There was only a pot and a chopping board, and on top of the chopping board lay a piece of meat. Apart from this, there were no other dishes, such as rice, oil, or salt.

There was a small man in the back kitchen, and when he saw me come in, he nodded at me.

I didn't want to look at the man, but I couldn't help it. Because he was so thin, I could see two rows of ribs. Aren't the chefs of the kitchen supposed to have a big head and a thick neck? What was going on with this fellow? Did he never steal food because he had such high professional ethics?

I nodded at him. "The boss asked me to help the kitchen."

The man acknowledged: "Hello, my name is Xiao Miao."

I suddenly felt goosebumps all over my body. This name was too outrageous. I laughed dryly and said, "Hello, my name is Hu Chujiu."

Xiao Miao reached out his hand as if to shake mine. I forced myself to reach out and shake his hand. But he didn't just shake hands. She bent her fingertips and scratched the palm of my hand.

The disgust in my heart almost made me grab the knife beside me and beat him up.

But I held back. I am unfamiliar with this place, and to search for the Little Tang Wei, I should not create unnecessary problems.

He had no choice but to lower his head.

Seeing my stern face, Xiao Miao did not say anything else, but pointed to the meat on the chopping board and said: "You can chop the meat."

I asked, "Chop?"

Xiao Miao acknowledged, "minced."

I asked, "How many pieces?"

Xiao Miao said: "I can chop as many pieces as I can."

I thought, "Is this dumplings?"

I started to chop the meat. It was a test of arm strength. With my old physical strength, I was already exhausted. But my body has been working so hard recently that I can still hold on.

Xiao Miao looked at me with interest. I couldn't stand his gaze. While I was chopping meat, I said to him, "Is there no need for anything but chopping meat?"

Xiao Miao said, "No need. Chop the meat first. There's not a single person in our place for half a month in ten days. "

I had to keep sweating.

After a while, Xiao Miao seemed to be sleepy, she yawned, and said to me: "I'll go up to sleep first. If you're tired, then come along, it's okay. "

Then he lifted a curtain from the wall, and I saw behind it a narrow staircase with an attic above it.

Xiao Miao slowly walked over and I heaved a sigh of relief and continued to chop meat. No one was watching, and I chopped even more cheerfully.

Suddenly, a hand placed on my shoulder. I was so scared that I almost threw the knife away.

I turned around with tshe blade in my hand and saw Xiao Miao standing behind me. He smiled at me. "There's one more thing I forgot to tell you," he said.

I held the knife to my chest and asked, "What is it?"

Xiao Miao pointed to the meat on the chopping board and said, "Do not eat the things in the kitchen secretly. Our boss is pretty good, but he hates it when people steal food. "

I nodded. He thought to himself: Who would eat raw meat for no reason? Isn't this sick?

Xiao Miao went upstairs again, and before sshe left, he did not forget to remind Yun Che: "If you're tired, come up and rest, do not force yourself."

This time I didn't even bother to answer. Xiao Miao then quickly climbed the stairs.

Half an hour later, the piece of meat turned into dumplings. And I was out of breath.

I will definitely not go upstairs to rest. I might as well go look for Little Tang Wei.

I came out of the kitchen feeling a little weak in my legs. It seems like I was really tired after chopping the meat. The boss had not come back yet, so the counter was empty.

I walked to the door and saw an old farmer passing by. Seeing that the man looked good, he stopped him and asked politely: "Hello, do you know where the owner of mutton restaurant went?"

The old farmer said, "Didn't they go to look for the Little Tang Wei?"

I was elated. "This boss really has a lot of connections. He even knows about this old man."

I asked again, "Did you find the Little Tang Wei?"

The old farmer said, "I don't think so."

I had to say yes. The old farmer saw that my expression was a little gloomy, so he asked me, "What is it? Do you know this Little Tang Wei? "

I smiled. "To tell you the truth, I'm actually looking for someone from the Little Tang Wei. The boss is helping me. "

The old farmer looked at me with hesitation and asked, "You aren't from here, right?"

I nodded. "How did you know?"

The old farmer said, "What's so ugly about that? I know everyone here."

He hesitated for a moment, then whispered to me, "If I change my clothes and cut my hair, would you know me?"

I don't know why the old farmer suddenly asked such a strange question, but I honestly replied, "I don't think I can recognize him."

The old farmer heaved a sigh of relief. Then he raised his sleeve again and covered his face. Only then did she get close to me and whisper, "There were people who came here before, but I can't find them."

I was stunned. "And then? Have you been unable to find it? "

The old farmer said, "It's always the mutton restaurant's boss who brings us to look for him. But never. Actually, this place wasn't that big. Every household had been thoroughly searched, and even the stone had been turned over. There's just no one here. "

Puzzled, I asked, "Where did those people go?"

The old farmer said, "There's only one place I've never searched."

He pointed at the mutton restaurant behind me.

I was taken aback. "You mean to say, people can hide in the mutton restaurant?"

The old farmer waved his hands. "I don't know. I didn't say that. You guessed it yourself." Then he left in a hurry.

My face changed. Suddenly, he noticed that the old farmer who had already gone far away had returned. He came up to me and whispered, "When the boss comes back, you can ask him if he's found anyone. He must have told you that he didn't find it today. "Why don't you stay the night and keep looking tomorrow?"

With that, the old farmer turned and left. This time, he walked quickly. A few seconds later, he disappeared into a dark alley.

I looked up at the sheep's head in front of the butcher's. I was a little scared. I'm going to leave.

Who would have thought that just as I reached the street, someone would take me in the path: "Little brother, where are you going?"

When I looked up, I was a little scared. This man was the boss of mutton restaurant.

I've been looking around for so long, but I still haven't seen him. Where did he come from? It couldn't have been hiding in the vicinity, waiting to block me, right?

I chuckled dryly and replied, "I've finished with my work with the kitchen. I want to find Little Tang Wei." Oh right, have you found my friend? "

The boss had a strange expression on his face. He sighed and tried his best to look regretful. "We haven't found it yet. It's a bit late tonight. Why don't you stay for the night and we can continue searching tomorrow?"
