Jiang Chengde's busy work lasted a long time.
Jiang Feng has been spinning around the crowd around Jiang Chengde and at the back door, watching the crowd lining up gradually, watching every little servant who got the food spread their legs and running wildly in the cold wind, watching Jiang Chengde look like a Robots tirelessly cook one dish from one dish to the next.
It was too late to make the last dish.
Without Jiang Feng, he couldn't see the time, but he looked at the moonlight and the gradually quiet air outside, and the increasingly cold and empty kitchen, the helpers and the crowd who were leaving gradually, can tell that the time is really early.
There are only 7 people left in the kitchen.
Even Master Chen has finished his work home, and only Jiang Chengde is the only master who is still working.
He was doing the egg dumplings that Jiang Feng first saw.
This dish seems to be very popular. Jiang Chengde's most frequently made dishes are dishes, which are basically done every two or three courses, and sometimes even make them.
thickened.
"Wei Ze, Wei Jin, and Wei Ming cleaned the kitchen and were ready to go home." Jiang Chengde started cooking the dishes. .
Jiang Weiming, who had been in charge of the fire behind, moved, and the boy who was specially responsible for cutting Jiang Chengde and the man who cut the meat also moved together. Jiang Feng noticed that the two of them looked a little bit, they were indeed brothers, but they couldn't tell which one was bigger, and they didn't know which was the grandfather and the second grandfather.
Jiang Chengde is the chef, and the chef with rows of noodles on top. Naturally, cleaning the kitchen does not require him to do it himself. After cooking for so long, he is indeed tired. After stopping, he took the hot tea handed over by his son. While drinking tea, let the massager responsible for his massage relax.
"Master Jiang has really worked hard for you. Go back early. It is estimated that your sister and your few remaining sons are still waiting for you for New Year's Eve dinner at this year's 30." Hu Ye walked in from outside to see Jiang Chengde Drinking tea to relax, he smiled quickly.
"What time is it now?" Jiang Chengde asked.
"I can't say exactly what time it is, but it must have passed by the time of nine o'clock (9 pm)." Hu Ye said.
Jiang Chengde frowned, this is not too early.
"Come back, let Wei Ze, Wei Jin, and Wei Ming go back together. The cleaning should be left to Liuzi." Hu Ye said, "If I remember correctly, Huiqin will have another 10 days. I’m going to get married. Today, your brothers and sisters had the last New Year’s Eve dinner together, and they didn’t go back to gather together. It would be difficult for Huiqin to marry the Li family and make Li’s young grandmother want to come back for a meal. Li Mrs. Jia is very strict, I am afraid that Huiqin cannot come to the back kitchen from time to time as before."
Jiang Chengde was moved, and his brow stretched out with a smile: "It's better not to come, her little girl's family always runs to this smoky place, it's not good, it hurts the face and hurts the skin."
"I didn't expect you to understand this." Hu Ye said happily.
"Then I will go first, and I will leave the matter here to you." Jiang Chengde indicated with his eyes that the three sons could go home without work.
"Daddy, you haven't got the dishes in the stove!" Jiang Weiming reminded.
"Oh, yes, I was too busy to forget this evening." Jiang Chengde suddenly walked over to the stove and lifted the lid up. It was like a clear soup of willow and spinach, but the appearance was not very good. The heat insulation in the stove is too long for this.
Looking at the reason, this obviously has changed the clear soup and willow leaf spinach. Jiang Chengde's face flashed a little annoyance: "I blame me, forget it."
Hu Ye looked up and recognized that it was clear soup, willow and spinach, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, you must have made this dish in the afternoon and you want to stay and take it home for dinner last night." If you want to cook ahead of time, don’t be bored in this stove. Tell me, I will give you a special thing and put it under warm water. It will not change for a long time."
Jiang Weiming took out the clear soup, willow leaf and spinach in the pot, put it in the food box, and after carrying the food box, he would leave the kitchen with Jiang Chengde.
Before he reached the door, he bumped into the face with a smile, boss Lu carrying a big food box.
Compared with the normal posture in the memory of the last time, it looks like a savvy business. Compared with the boss of the person Lu, the boss Lu at this time is obviously already middle-aged, he looks a lot richer, and the smile is very good, like Like a Maitreya Buddha.
Boss Lu wore a mink jacket and wrapped himself tightly, with a very clear jade pendant on his waist. He even wore gloves with unknown leather stitches on his hands. Very expensive, obviously no money has been made in recent years.
If you take a closer look, you can see that this big food box is also an expensive thing. Not only does the color look good, but it also has fine carvings. Unlike the food box, it is like a thing that should be displayed in the museum. artwork.
"Boss Lu." Jiang Chengde nodded slightly from Boss Lu.
"Chengde is busy." Lu boss smiled, the tone was very gentle, like an elder with a generous family.
"It's really hard for you today. I can't go home early to reunite with my family in the Chinese New Year. I also have to trouble you to cook food in this kitchen."
"Yes, I am a cook, this is my job." Jiang Chengde said.
"Huiqin is going to get married in a few days? My elders don't have much to give. I got a pair of jade bracelets with pretty good water heads some time ago. Let Huiqin dowry. Oh, yes, I I heard that the young master of the Li family seems to be going to university, and he still wants to study abroad, right? Then he must like those Western gadgets. Some time ago, I got a lot of rare gadgets, and I will send them to your house in a few days. , Don’t let the Li family take it lightly."
After boss Lu said this, Jiang Chengde's original serious face only softened a little: "Thank you boss Lu, the dowry I prepared for Huiqin should be ample enough, and I will not be underestimated by the Li family."
"Yes, what I told you last time..." Boss Lu changed his expression.
"You can rest assured that I know what you are worried about. You have helped our family a lot in these years. Even if my father is dead, I will still be owed to you. I will not go to the palace, nor will I go to Yongheju and Shunhelou. I won’t go. I’m a chef at Taifeng Building. I won’t go anywhere."
"That's good, that's good." Boss Lu's smile suddenly brightened a lot. He glanced at the food box in his hand as if he remembered something. He quickly lifted the food box to Jiang Chengde. "You have many children in your family." , I have been busy working all night, I think my family’s New Year’s Eve dinner has no time to burn. It is now a moment, if I go back and burn the New Year’s Eve dinner, it will be too late. I will ask someone to go to Yongheju and pack the yellow braised shark fin for you, two colors Prawns and Wanfu meat. Master Tan heard that it was a deliberate cooking for you, and it should be warm now. You can take it back to make Huiqin hot. Go back early and don’t delay eating New Year’s Eve dinner."
Jiang Chengde took the food box and showed a smile from Boss Lu: "You have heart, happy new year."
boss Lu showed a very sincere smile: "Happy New Year!"
Jiang Chengde walked out with the food box. The three sons quickly followed him, and as soon as he went out, one of Jiang Feng could not tell whether it was Jiang Weize or Jiang Weijin. He took the food box in the hand of Jiang Chengde.
didn't just take the food box, but also asked.
"Dad, why don't you change the restaurant? Didn't the king's house say triple the salary to dig you?"
Jiang Chengde glanced at his son: "We are cooks, but not the private chefs kept by the Wangfu."
"So why don't you go to Yongheju? I remember you have a good relationship with Master Tan, and Yongheju's salary is also high."
"Wei Ze." Jiang Chengde suddenly stopped and turned his head to point to the plaque at the entrance of Taifeng Building. Jiang Feng noticed that they unconsciously went from the back door to the main door.
But now it was too dark, Jiang Feng didn't see the plaque when he looked closely, not to mention Jiang Weize, I guess I didn't see anything.
"Did you see that plaque?" Jiang Chengde said.
"No." When I heard it, I knew it was an honest child.
Jiang Chengde: ...
"It doesn't matter if you don't see it, but you have to remember that this plaque belongs to our house, and one day we will return to our house. The wages from other restaurants are high, but once we leave, this plaque is no longer possible. came back."
"Wei Jinwei Ming, you two must also remember that one day, we will let this plaque come back."
The three and a half boys all looked up together, looking at the plaque that they could not see at all, and did not know where to look.
Jiang Feng is also looking up.
Although he knew what Jiang Chengde was destined to hear, he still said it.
"It's back."
"Go away, don't make your aunt Huiqin wait at home, it's not too early, if you go back later, I'm afraid that even I will be scolded by her." Jiang Chengde said, with a hint of smile in his tone, quickly Walk towards the dark path ahead.
The three are still looking up and trying to find where the plaque is. The dumbfounded son hastened back to God and quickly followed.
Jiang Feng only slowed down by two steps, and the figures of the three people gradually disappeared into the darkness, like the end of an old movie, gradually moving away.
Jiang Feng quickly walked forward in the dark looking for three vague figures, and heard Jiang Weiming's cheerful words.
"Brother, would you say that Aunt Huiqin has already wrapped the dumplings? I burned the firewood for a day today and I was tired. UU reading books I went back and didn't want to make dumplings."
"What do you want? I didn't shout tired after cutting the dishes for a day, you just burned the wood and shouted tired, and I wanted to go back without dumplings, who wouldn't make dumplings in the 30's? Who wants to make Wei Guobao? Not successful?"
"That's not okay." Jiang Weiming's voice was quickly raised, "Wei Guo likes to eat his hands. Don't eat the dumplings when the stuffing is not wrapped in and the saliva is all in."
"You dare to abandon Wei Guo's hands. When you were a child, you not only ate your hands but you also have a runny nose. Do you know how many times I have rubbed your nose?" Jiang Weijin laughed.
"Brother, nonsense, you are one year older than me. I must have a runny nose when I runny nose. If you want to wipe it, your elder brother will wipe my nose. It's your turn." Jiang Weiming was annoyed and his voice grew louder.
"Yes, yes, when I was a kid, I snotted you." Jiang Weize's voice was an unstoppable smile.
"Dad, brother and brother bullied me again!" Jiang Weiming said but could only complain.
"Okay, what's the New Year's talk about snotty or snotty, with a dish in your hand?" Jiang Chengde also smiled, "but Weiming likes drooling when you were a kid, every time you eat breakfast, your mother You have to rub your saliva twice to feed you a porridge."
"Daddy!"
There was laughter.
These laughter sounds like rows of bright and warm lanterns, illuminating the dark and long road ahead.
