I don't dance with this pot [food]

Chapter 22

"..." Qiu Hanyu was dumbfounded, this, this, is God kidding me?

He was so frightened that he almost dropped the water glass in his hand, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, it was Chen Liang himself.Pointing at Chen Liang, he said in a jiffy, "You, you..." You spent a long time without choking out a complete sentence.

People who shared the same bed yesterday have become their own employees today. This change is too great!

He suddenly remembered that one day the boss who mocked Chen Liang had no toilet paper when he went to the toilet, his body tightened, and he felt a pain in his balls for no reason...

"President Qiu, is there any question?" Liu Shao walked in, his eyes rolled back and forth between the two of them, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Yes," Qiu Hanyu stared at the expressionless Chen Liang, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his egg hurt even more, he said to Liu Shao, "You look very idle, come and pour tea."

Liu Shao: "..."

Liu Shao helped Qiu Hanyu pour tea, seeing that there was nothing in front of Chen Liang's table, he hesitated whether to lower his status and help Chen Liang pour a cup.

Qiu Hanyu glared at Liu Shao, grabbed the teapot, poured a big cup for Chen Liang, and held it in front of Chen Liang with a smile: "Please use it."

Liu Shao was dumbfounded. Is this really Mr. Qiu who called to deduct his wages just now?This is the wrong medicine, absolutely.

"What are you looking at, haven't you seen a handsome guy?" Qiu Hanyu gave Liu Shao a sharp look, "I'm not going down to do things, I'm free today? Then I'll make arrangements for you..."

"Mr. Qiu, I suddenly remembered that there is an urgent task that I have not dealt with. I will take a step first. You take it easy!" Liu Shao shrewdly jumped up, grabbed Manager Song who had not had time to speak, and slipped away.

Only Qiu Hanyu and Chen Liang were left in the office, and the atmosphere that had just started to turmoil froze in an instant.

They sat face to face for ten minutes, neither of them spoke in embarrassment, before opening the door, the two were still friends as equals, after opening the door, there was the relationship between the boss and the employees, this tandem status The gap between them and their identities put the relationship between the two in a very delicate state.

Qiu Hanyu took another sip of tea, this was the first time he raised the teacup, and Chen Liang's situation was similar, he held the teacup in both hands, lowered his head and turned the cup around, and he did not know how many times he turned it back and forth.

Qiu Hanyu really couldn't stand the stalemate anymore, he drank enough tea and his anger subsided, it's time to get down to business.He put down his teacup and broke the deadlock: "Hey, how is the situation in my house? Has it become an underwater dragon palace?"

Chen Liang was startled, and raised his head: "The maintenance personnel are still helping another family to repair. The property management said that it might take the afternoon to help you repair it, but there is no one at home now."

"Why did the water leak for no reason, do you know the reason?"

Chen Liang thought for a while: "The water pipe is old, and the water pressure is too high, so it burst."

Qiu Hanyu rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, threw his hands on the back of the chair, and said wearily: "Thank you. If you weren't here, I think I have to go home and swim."

"It's nothing." The tense atmosphere gradually dissipated, Chen Liang let go of his heart, and chatted with Qiu Hanyu like a friend, "In the future, you should pay more attention, and the water pipes and power supply must be checked frequently."

"I check often." Qiu Hanyu loosened his tie in a nondescript manner, and let out a soft sigh, "When I'm dreaming. I don't have so much time to take care of my family. I wish I could break it into two minutes."

Chen Liang asked: "What about housekeeping?"

Qiu Hanyu couldn't help laughing: "You think the housekeeper is my wife, and she also takes care of this kind of thing. No, according to this, I think I have to find a wife as soon as possible."

Chen Liang trembled all over, the blood on his face faded in an instant, and the hand holding the teacup trembled.

Why did my heart hurt so much when I heard this sentence, as if my heart had been dug out by a human being, and lead water was poured in, the pain was so painful that I couldn't describe it.

He should have known earlier that Qiu Hanyu and he are not from the same world, he should not and has no right to pull Qiu Hanyu into his world.Some feelings that shouldn't be there should be strangled in the cradle before regretting it.

"I wish you a happy life in finding a virtuous wife." He smiled bitterly.The shaking teacup hit the table, and the sound it made was poignant.

Qiu Hanyu's smile froze, and Chen Liang's hurt eyes were deeply imprinted in his eyes. He suddenly felt an indescribable sense of guilt, and he didn't know what was wrong, but seeing Chen Liang's painful expression made him uncomfortable.

Chen Liang put down the teacup very slowly, and opened the distance between the two with cold words: "What do you want?"

To actually use the term "command" is to place the two in an unequal relationship between superiors and subordinates.Qiu Hanyu's heart was blocked. He felt that they were sitting too far away, and their relationship had become alienated.

He sat on the sofa where Chen Liang was, kept a little distance from Chen Liang, and said seriously: "I said, I didn't take you under at all. I thought you were a technician from the property company before, and I didn't think of me at all." You are the cook you are looking for."

"Well," Chen Liang subconsciously sat aside, Qiu Hanyu's aura was too strong, even from a distance, he could still feel it, "I don't know about you either."

"Why are you sitting so far away? I'm scary?" Qiu Hanyu yelled dissatisfied, "Can you talk to me as a friend."

Chen Liang looked away: "You want to see me, why?"

Qiu Hanyu opened his mouth, all the words stuck in his throat, unable to speak out.Why do you want to see him?Because he can make dishes that let him taste, impress discerning food critics, and make contributions to hotels.However, he couldn't say that these beautiful reasons had a strong utilitarian nature, and once he said it, this friendship would soon come to an end.

The alarm clock set on the phone rang, and the itinerary displayed on the screen reminded Qiu Hanyu that it was time to get busy.Qiu Hanyu turned off the alarm clock in distress, and straightened his tie: "I'm going to have a meeting, you go back to rest first, and I'll contact you later." After speaking, he walked towards the door, and stopped when he touched the doorknob, "Actually Well, the reason why I want to see you is very simple," he pushed open the door and stepped into the quiet corridor, only his voice drifting in the wind, "I just want to taste the braised eggplant and ginger tea you made again."

Yang Ziwei didn't expect to see Chen Liang so soon. Chen Liang was brought by Liu Shao, and he said he wanted to borrow the kitchen for a while, without specifying the reason.

"Are you okay?" Liu Shao left, Yang Ziwei saw Chen Liang's expression was very bad, and asked very worriedly, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I'm fine." Chen Liang didn't want to say anything more.

Yang Ziwei sighed, and took Chen Liang into the kitchen: "As a friend, I'd be happy to listen to your troubles and help you solve them." He smiled gently, "I hope you can rely on your friends occasionally, instead of bearing it alone .”

A warm current poured into his heart in an instant, and slowly filled the gap. Chen Liang stared blankly at the back of Yang Ziwei who was communicating with the chef, his eyes were sour, don't treat him any more, he can't bear it, he I would rather not.

After getting permission from the head chef, Chen Liang walked to the kitchen counter, picked up the kitchen knife skillfully, and displayed his beautiful knife skills on two fresh eggplants. The knife made regular chopping sounds on the cutting board, The idle staff glanced involuntarily, and then couldn't look back.

Peeling and cutting into pieces is like watching a TV show where a martial arts master slices the wood into several pieces with one sword. It is done in one go without any extra movements. The eggplant is cut into several pieces neatly and quickly. The cut surface is flat and the same size.

When Chen Liang put the eggplant pieces into the frying pan, the idle staff couldn't stand still, they gathered around Chen Liang, and held their breath to watch him cook.

Putting the pot, pouring oil, and stir frying, there is really nothing to watch, coming and going are familiar movements, but no one left because they were bored watching.

It's so fragrant.The eggplant is fried to the point that it will melt when you bite it lightly. The seasoning penetrates easily and mixes with the aroma of the eggplant itself, giving off a refreshing fragrance.

After cooking, the eggplants were thoughtfully arranged in the shape of a mountain, and the thick sauce covered the whole mountain. The bright oily light could almost reflect everyone's greedy expressions.

The chef has never tasted any good and famous dishes. He has eaten those high-end dishes that cannot be named many times. I can't remember the taste of those dishes, whether they taste good or not, the only smell in my nose is the smell of eggplant, and those famous dishes lose their color in an instant.

The smell alone is so intriguing, let alone the taste, the head chef suddenly became jealous of Qiu Hanyu who could taste this dish of eggplant.

Yang Ziwei glanced at the surprised and intoxicated expressions of the crowd, and applauded Chen Liang: "A great dish, congratulations on your further improvement in cooking."

The head chef gave a thumbs up and was full of praise: "It's delicious! Hey, it would be great if you were an employee of our restaurant."

"Yes, yes, so our team can grow again."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I really want to taste it, what a pity."

Everyone spoke their mind one after another. Chen Liang looked at the smiling faces of everyone in surprise. This kind of praise has never appeared in a western restaurant. The western restaurant is a combination of several independent teams. The fierce competition is the most common relationship.Everyone is very indifferent, except for business communication, there is no other communication, they will not intervene in other people's affairs, and of course they will not praise others.

If a western restaurant is like a court where you fight over each other, then a Chinese restaurant is like a home.

The corners of Chen Liang's mouth curled up slightly, showing a rare smile: "Thank you."

Yang Ziwei was lost for a moment, immersed in Chen Liang's smile, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

Before Qiu Hanyu finished the meeting, Chen Liang received a call from the property owner.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, our maintenance master has just come back, may I ask if you are at home, the master can go to repair now."

Chen Liang asked strangely: "Sorry, I'm not at home. May I ask if no one told you to ask Master to reschedule?"

"We haven't received any news."

Probably Qiu Hanyu forgot, Chenliang thought, Qiu Hanyu doesn't know when the meeting will end, anyway, he is fine now, and he has the spare key in his hand, so you can go back and have a look.

"I'm rushing back now, but it will take about half an hour. Is it convenient for you to wait?"

"Okay, I'll let Master take a break, please let us know when you come back later."

Chen Liang hung up the phone, poured the boiled ginger tea into Qiu Hanyu's thermos, asked Yang Ziwei to keep the braised eggplant warm, then sent Qiu Hanyu a text message, and rushed back to his house.

The maintenance master came in time, but the repair did not go smoothly. The water pipes were of a special type, and several types of water pipes were replaced. At seven o’clock in the evening, the master was sweating and panting, and said: "No way, I will buy it tomorrow. After installing this type of water pipe, we can only stop the water today.”

Chen Liang had no choice but to send the master out gratefully. As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Qiu Hanyu who was about to open the door.

"So early?" Chen Liang asked in surprise.

"When I saw your text message, I rushed back." Qiu Hanyu tore off his tie, unbuttoned his collar, took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, sat on the sofa tiredly, stretched his arms, raised his head and closed his eyes, "Don't worry Huh?" He woke up with a start, the air was filled with fragrance, and the floor was dry and bright, with no trace of being soaked in water.

"I cleaned the floor."

Qiu Hanyu was stunned: "Why are you cleaning up?" He purposely said in distaste, "Your skills are so poor, look, the floor is still dirty, it might as well be cleaned up by housekeeping."

"It's too dirty, you can't live there." Chen Liang frowned, picked up Qiu Hanyu's coat and walked to the room, "Clothes are scattered and easy to wrinkle."

Qiu Hanyu stared at Chen Liang's back in dumbfounded, how could he feel that Chen Liang was like his wife, virtuous and knew how to take care of the family.

He couldn't help laughing.Chen Hao turned his head curiously: "What?"

"It's nothing, nothing." Qiu Hanyu waved his hand with a smile, and said casually, "I just suddenly feel like you are like my wife."
