Before Nan Yi could refute, Damao and the other three quickly stood up and cleared the table, then packed up the remaining dishes on the table and prepared to take them home to eat tomorrow.
Waste is shameful, we cannot waste it.
Nan Yi couldn't complain. He had just finished his meal and had not even had time to take a breath. Why did he just pack up the leftovers?
Look at He Wenhui, she is also very greedy.
She has an elderly mother and younger brothers and sisters at home, and her family is extremely poor.
If you really couldn't survive, why would you give up the university you finally got into and choose to drop out and find a job?
I am also very greedy for food and want to take some leftovers back.
Although this is leftover food, it is very delicious. If you can take it back and give it to your younger siblings to try, it will satisfy their cravings.
As a result, Liang Ladi quickly packed her things and took them away.
Even if she wanted to bring it home, she couldn't, so she had to comfort herself that she had eaten well and at least saved her a meal.
However, why is she so reluctant to give up?
She forced a smile, comforting herself that she couldn't compete with the old man in the cafeteria.
After eating and drinking, Liu Hongchang sent away the few people who tasted the food. Liu Hongchang came out with a few lunch boxes, with a smile on his face, obviously feeling good about the success of the food he cooked.
This is his first time cooking Cantonese cuisine, and it is very rare to be able to cook it well.
"Look at the successful completion of my food trial this time. I will prepare it for you when we hold the wedding banquet."
Nan Yi nodded, Liu Hongchang's cooking was indeed good, especially after everyone tasted it, the Cantonese cuisine he made was more authentic, so it would be no problem for him to cook it for the wedding banquet.
"What are you carrying these lunch boxes for?"
"What I'm saying is, of course, I'm taking it back to eat. The cook won't steal it, and the grain won't be harvested. I'll come over to help, so of course I have to bring some food back."
Liu Hongchang shook the lunch box in his hand and said it openly.
Nan Yi didn't know what to say, how could he have the nerve to say this.
You bastard cook doesn’t collect grains unless he steals them. Are you bringing leftovers? They are obviously served after frying.
I know that if a cook doesn’t steal grains, he won’t harvest them. No cook would not bring ingredients to the house, but you don’t have to be so upright.
Looking at Liu Hongchang, he looked provocative. It was clear that he did not want to help him and was provoking him.
Nan Yi waved his hand and said, "It's just this once, it won't happen next time. Don't let me mess around with you during the wedding banquet."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Really, you have several canteens under your command, and there is no shortage of various dishes. I have to make you laugh at me when I get some ingredients."
Nan Yi glanced at him, how could you have the nerve to say this?
I know exactly what the situation is.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to come over to help. Just hold on to He Wenhui. You have to help even if you don’t want to.
"Master Nan, let's go back first. We have to go to work tomorrow."
Just as he was talking, Liang Ladi came over with large and small bags of vegetables to say goodbye and leave.
He Wenhui was very greedy, but he was an old man in the cafeteria, and it was rare for a newcomer to have a meal here, so he couldn't say anything.
Nan Yi waved them away and prepared to go back.
I saw He Wenhui’s hands empty.
Liu Hongchang, who was about to leave, was stunned, obviously not expecting that she didn't bring any leftovers.
Stop her quickly and ask about the situation.
"Wen Hui, why didn't you pack some leftovers?"
"I don't have to."
It’s strange that he believed this. Don’t you use it? No, the things have been taken away by Liang Ladi, so there are no leftovers.
Look at the table of mine workers. They are all pot-bellied men. They have already eaten all the food on the table, and it is impossible to pack it up.
How can this be possible? Wenhui still has her mother, younger brothers and sisters waiting for dinner at home, so how can she not even bring back some leftovers?
After hesitating for a moment, he handed the lunch box in front of him and said, "These are the leftovers I made. If you don't mind, take them back."
"How can this be done?"
"It's okay. I'm a chef. If you think about it, the fact that I can bring leftovers to my family every day is nothing.
This is some worthless stew, take it back and try it."
"How can this be done?"
"Nothing."
After a few words of refusal, Liu Hongchang directly handed over the three lunch boxes in his hand and stuffed them into her hands.
He Wenhui didn't want to pick it up, so he forced it into his hand, saying it was nothing.
It's just three lunch boxes. As a chef, he can't eat anything delicious, let alone just stew.
He Wenhui was very embarrassed. After hesitating for a long time, he thanked him and left with his lunch box.
"Master Nan, I'm leaving first."
"Go back, I have to go to work tomorrow. I work here and there is nothing else. There are still a lot of leftovers.
No one’s family is rich now, so if you don’t mind it, you can pick up some better ones and pack them back.”
"How can this be done?"
He Wenhui was very embarrassed, while Nan Yi smiled and said nothing.
Not to mention now, even if it is packed in the future, it will not be a big deal, and chefs will often eat it secretly.
Outsiders don’t know, they just don’t want others to know.
If we really want to investigate, there is no such thing as a pure land, it’s just a matter of time and space.
After sending He Wenhui away, Liu Hongchang was about to leave. Nan Yi stopped him and looked at him with half-smiling eyes, which made Liu Hongchang very angry.
"Look at what you're looking at. If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't make me angry. What are you trying to do?"
"You have a crush on her. Do you want to marry her?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? She is a college student, so you can't talk nonsense. How can I be worthy of her?"
Liu Hongchang's face turned red at that moment, and he waved his hands anxiously to express that this was absolutely not the case.
But the busy look on his hands has already made it clear that he just likes her and has a good impression of her.
"Then you will give her the meals you worked so hard to pack."
"It's nothing if not just stewed."
"Random stew? If I remember correctly his real name is Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, using abalone, sea cucumber, fish lips, yak hide glue, king oyster mushroom, tendons, flower mushrooms, cuttlefish, scallops, quail eggs, etc. to gather them together and add
The broth and old Fujian wine are simmered over a slow fire.
Even if you are a chef, how many times can you eat these things, how many times have you tasted them, and how many times can you take them home for your parents to taste?
Please tell me about this chef. He doesn’t even care about such good things. This is the first time I have seen such a powerful chef."
Liu Hongchang was silent for a moment. These ingredients were extremely rare. Even if he was a good cook, he would rarely come across them. It was even more rare now.
So let’s just deceive He Wenhui, a layman. It’s impossible to deceive Nan Yi, who is also a chef.
After hesitating for a moment, he was still stubborn.
"I just have a good impression of her and think she is a rare talented woman. If I can help her, I will help her. Don't talk nonsense."
Nan Yi smiled and said nothing. He knew exactly what the situation was, and it would be useless for you to say more.
He waved his hands and turned to leave, which made him even more depressed.
Really, we obviously don’t have any, how can you talk nonsense, it’s so indifferent.
Watching him leave, I wanted to stop him and argue with him, telling him that I had no such idea, but I had no choice but to give up.
For some things, explanation is a cover-up, cover-up is a fact, and facts speak louder than words, so it is better not to say anything.
Nan Yi smiled and said nothing. No matter how Wen Hui was, this guy would not be able to escape from his grasp.
The next day, He Wenhui returned with a lunch box and smiled. When she saw him, she smiled and shouted, "Master Nan."
"Whatever you call master, just call me big brother."
He Wenhui hesitated and nodded in agreement, then said, "Brother Nan, I have to go out at noon and return the lunch box to Master Liu."
"It's nothing. This guy is kind-hearted and treats you very well. Don't make him sad."
Nan Yi said it easily, but He Wenhui was embarrassed and shook her head hurriedly.
Yesterday, Liu Hongchang said that what he made was a random stew. She thought it was just some worthless big pot of stewed dishes. It wasn’t until she brought it home for her younger siblings to eat that she discovered the good stuff inside.
Although it is true that this is made by random methods, but as long as you see it, who can say that it is worthless and random.
Nan Yi nodded and said, "He is indeed very good to you."
These words immediately made He Wenhui not know how to answer. She regarded Liu Hongchang as an ordinary friend, or at most a big brother who cared about her.
As a result, she always felt inappropriate when people cared so much about her.
Nan Yi smiled and said nothing.
Now Liu Hongchang is just a guy with a thief's heart but no courage. He only cares about He Wenhui. You said it's impossible to pick up a girl and marry her as your wife. He doesn't have the courage yet.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that it’s impossible, I’m not worthy of her.
"Thank him properly from now on."
"Brother Nan, don't worry. I know that our family has never eaten so many good things. I will definitely thank him."
Nan Yi nodded and ignored them, while he was thinking about other things. By the way, he told the host that he had agreed to prepare the banquet and would definitely help prepare the food.
Liu Hongchang is a good cook, and when it came time to start cooking, his Cantonese dishes were well received by the host.
The guests who came to the banquet ate their food one by one and praised the taste of the food.
When Liu Hongchang came out after cooking and saw this scene, he felt very happy.
I couldn't help but run over and show off to Nan Yi: "How about it? Look at what you are capable of. No matter what Cantonese cuisine, you can still make it if you think about it. Who else can do this except me?"
Nan Yi looked at him, not embarrassed to dampen his enthusiasm.
This sounds right, but in fact, one of the main reasons is the nostalgia for Cantonese food in their hearts.
In addition, the ingredients he provided were good enough and the meals he cooked were delicious enough.
I have been away from home for more than ten years. Who can remember the taste of hometown food so clearly? It has been forgotten for a long time and I don’t know how it tastes.
Now I'm eating hometown food again, and it's a sumptuous banquet. It's strange that people don't like it.
Smiling and shaking his head, he fiddled with the abacus in his hand, completely ignoring him and not intending to dampen his enthusiasm.
This immediately made Liu Hongchang feel embarrassed. He came here to show off, but in the end you didn’t care what it meant.
He Wenhui saw this and made a joke: "Master Liu is so awesome. I didn't expect your dishes to be so popular."
"Of course, if you don't even have this ability, how can I, Fat Chang Liu, make a name for himself as a chef? Next time I'll cook you some pig intestines, so you can have a taste of what I mean by my specialty cooking skills."
"Okay, don't keep bragging in front of Wen Hui."
"How can this be a boast? It is the fact. Am I poor at cooking?"
Nan Yi said that I don’t know whether your cooking skills are good or not, but you can indeed cook.
I know you like her and want to show off your abilities in front of her, so there’s no need to brag endlessly.
He raised his head and said to Wen Hui, "Don't think Wen Hui's cooking skills are good. In fact, they are just that. Now he is just bragging in front of you."
"How can this be nonsense? Stop talking nonsense."
"That's the truth. Who wouldn't be shocked to see my cooking skills?"
"How does that compare to my cooking skills?"
Being told that there was nothing he could do, Liu Hongchang quickly shut up. Facing Nan Yi, his cooking skills were simply incomparable.
Then I took out my lunch box and planned to show it off.
Apparently they had withheld a lot of vegetables and were preparing to give them to Wen Hui.
Suddenly I saw the host coming in and quickly put away my lunch box again.
It's one thing to know that you're withholding food, but we can't say it in front of the host, it's inappropriate.
The host's face was red after drinking, and he kept smiling. He stretched out his thumb from a distance and shouted, "Master Nan, this is what you are good at. I haven't eaten hometown food for a long time. I didn't expect that I can eat it this time."
To enjoy authentic hometown dishes, I will definitely come over next time to support them.”
"It's okay, as long as you can eat well."
"If you eat well, you must eat well. This is a small thought. You are welcome."
The host was very drunk, but he did not forget the main purpose of coming here. He took out a red envelope as a way of affirming him.
Nan Yi said a few polite words, then accepted the red envelope and placed it on the table.
This made Liu Hongchang extremely envious. He stared at the red envelope closely, wishing it could be his.
"Master Nan, this is the dish I cooked. Should I give the red envelope to me?"
"Okay."
Nan Yi gave it to him smoothly, which made him smile from ear to ear. He didn't expect that there would be a red envelope of twenty yuan, which was enough for half a month's salary. It didn't look too good.
But looking at He Wenhui, Liu Hongchang, who was originally very concerned about red envelopes, coughed and had other thoughts.
He knew that He Wenhui's family was in poor condition and he didn't care about the money, but in He Wenhui's case, a dollar would be good.
"Forget it, this matter is the result of the joint efforts of all of us. You all get points, you can't just give them to me. Wen Hui also gives you points."
"No, no, no, I'm the front desk. How can I get a red envelope from the chef?"
He Wenhui quickly waved her hand and refused to ask for anything. She knew her identity well, so how could she ask for this?
"Yes, this belongs to all of us, and you should keep it too."
Nan Yi took the red envelope directly, took out five yuan and gave it to her, then gave another five yuan to Liu Hongchang, and kept the remaining ten yuan for himself.
As the boss, it’s okay for me to take the big lead.
It has to be okay.
As a boss, if you don’t take the big share, you can’t give the big share to others and only get a little bit yourself, so there’s nothing we can do.
"You..."
Liu Hongchang was so angry that he really wanted to ask Nan Yi what he meant and why you took ten yuan.
"What are you talking about? You said you wanted to divide it. Is there a problem?"
Liu Hongchang was so angry that he really wanted to say, I did say we wanted to break up, but I did it for He Wenhui, not for you.
What do you mean you take the big shot when you have nothing to do? We don’t do things like that.
