The next morning, Comrade Xu came to Zhiweixuan as usual.
When he walked into the door and saw Jiang Meili sitting at the bar, he said hello out of habit, "Good morning, sister-in-law!"
"Hey, morning!"
Jiang Meili responded casually, and Comrade Xu continued to walk forward. Suddenly, Jiang Meili reacted and quickly stood up and called to Comrade Xu, "Hey, Xiao Xu! Xiao Xu, wait a minute!"
Comrade Xu stopped in surprise and turned back.
"Sister-in-law, what can I do for you?"
With a warm smile on her face, Jiang Meili walked out of the bar, holding an unopened Zhonghua in her hand.
"Here, take this cigarette and smoke it! I know you smoke. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and I ask you to come to work every day. Thank you for your hard work. Just take it!"
Jiang Meili handed the cigarette to Xu Tongdao and spoke very beautifully.
Comrade Xu was surprised. When he went to work during the Chinese New Year, he was given double or even triple salary, as well as bonuses and red envelopes. He had encountered this before.
But the Spring Festival has not yet come, so I will give a good thing to China in advance. To be honest, this is the first time he has encountered two people in his life.
But he likes it very much.
He immediately took the cigarette and expressed his gratitude with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law, sister-in-law! Congratulations on getting rich!"
Jiang Meili smiled all over her face, "You're so polite to my sister-in-law, okay, that's it, you go and do your work!"
Xu Tongdao: "Hey, okay! Then I'm leaving!"
Comrade Xu nodded, took the cigarette and left.
On the way to the kitchen, he lowered his head and glanced at the cigarette in his hand, thinking: Did every chef here receive a cigarette today?
Are Zhang Fafa and Jiang Meili so generous?
This is quite generous.
Of course, when he came to the locker room to change clothes, he still put the cigarettes in the locker instead of taking them to the kitchen.
He was worried that if Jiang Meili only gave him cigarettes today and no other chefs had any, then it would be a bit eye-catching if he brought this cigarette into the kitchen.
The impact is not good.
…
After changing into his chef uniform and coming to the kitchen, Tongdao Xu felt that the way his colleagues in the kitchen looked at him was a little strange today.
As for what's strange?
He couldn't tell.
Anyway, I just feel that the way everyone looks at him today is different from usual.
It all seems quite complicated.
Not only did ordinary colleagues look at him like that, but even his own subordinates Jiang Jinsong and Wei Xiaokun looked at him differently today than usual.
To be precise, neither Jiang Jinsong nor Wei Xiaokun seemed willing to look at him today. Every time he looked at them, they immediately turned away and looked away, or looked down.
"What's going on? Why are you all acting weird today?"
As he casually put the sheep bones into the large iron pot to blanch them, Comrade Xu lowered his voice and asked Wei Xiaokun, who had done the trick for him.
He thought Wei Xiaokun would tell him the truth.
After all, Wei Xiaokun has been following him every day for the past two months, and he can be regarded as half of his apprentice.
If something happens in the kitchen, Wei Xiaokun should tell him.
but……
Wei Xiaokun shook his head quickly, "No! Boss, are you thinking too much? I think everyone is quite normal!"
If Wei Xiaokun's eyes didn't flicker or wander when he said these words, Comrade Xu might have believed him.
But when this kid said these words, his wandering eyes did not meet his Comrade Xu for a second. What does this mean?
He feels guilty!
Comrade Xu was sure that Wei Xiaokun did not tell him the truth.
This made him quite disappointed. Before, he thought that although Wei Xiaokun was a little timid and had no independent opinions, he was quick in his work, and he respected Comrade Xu. Comrade Xu also thought about whether he would really accept this child as his disciple in the future and teach him
Some real skills.
but now……
Xu Tongdao shook his head slightly and gave up the idea.
How could he really accept a person as his disciple who dared to lie and deceive him before he actually became a disciple?
Originally, Comrade Xu wanted to ask Jiang Jinsong.
Then he thought: Wei Xiaokun is unreliable, so why bother testing Jiang Jinsong again?
Once it is confirmed that Jiang Jinsong is also lying to him, it will be even harder to get along with him in the future.
His intuition told him that everyone in the kitchen today seemed to be hiding something from him.
Even the cigarette given to him by Jiang Meili just after he entered the gate of Zhiweixuan was connected by Comrade Xu and the abnormality of his colleagues in the kitchen.
Is that cigarette compensation for me?
He thought about this possibility.
But there was no way to guess what these people were hiding from him.
After all, he knew too little information to guess the correct answer.
Comrade Xu was busy all morning.
During this period, he noticed that when he was making lamb chops, lamb trotters and steamed lamb dumplings, the head chef Luo Zongping and the head chef Luo Zongshan strolled behind him as if taking a walk, chatting with him while standing beside him.
Watched it for a while.
After he finished cooking the three dishes, the two men left quietly.
Intuition is an amazing feeling.
Tongdao Xu's intuition told him that the weird atmosphere in the kitchen today and the fact that Wei Xiaokun, Jiang Jinsong and others concealed his affairs were probably related to Luo Zongping and Luo Zongshan.
He has no evidence.
But his intuition told him that it should be like this.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, let alone others tell what happened in the kitchen, at least Wei Xiaokun would not hide it from him.
Because if Wei Xiaokun is still somewhat motivated and wants to learn more skills from Comrade Xu, he will definitely take the initiative to get closer to him.
It's not easy and I don't dare to lie to him.
But if the head chef Luo Zongping let it go and told Wei Xiaokun to keep it secret, then... Wei Xiaokun might really keep it secret.
…
Tongdao Xu is waiting.
He was waiting for someone to quietly tell him the truth.
He believed that there must be someone in the kitchen who was not of the same mind as Luo Zongping and would secretly undermine Luo Zongping.
Unfortunately, no one came to see him quietly until he got off work in the afternoon.
Is Luo Zongping's prestige so high?
Xu Tongdao expressed doubts, but the fact was that he had no other choice but to go to the locker room to change clothes and prepare to return to Shazhou County.
When he left, he didn't forget to take the Chinese strip that Jiang Meili gave him in the morning.
As a result, as soon as he came out of the locker room, he saw Bu Yinghui standing at the door of the women's locker room next to her, leaning on the door frame.
She looked at him with a smile.
It seems to be waiting for him here specifically.
Tongdao Xu felt both surprised and delighted, so he smiled and asked, "Hey, who is this beautiful lady waiting for? Isn't she waiting for me?"
In the past two months, they have occasionally met in the kitchen or other places, and they have become familiar with each other.
Therefore, it was natural for Tongdao Xu to make a little joke with her and do it right away.
Bu Yinghui smiled slightly, walked up to him in a few steps with her long legs of more than one meter, and whispered: "I have something to tell you, but you have to buy me coffee!"
