Chapter 61
Chapter 61
Ji Xiaoting had just taken two steps towards the back kitchen when he was stopped. Qin Mu's grandfather had sealed his pen for many years, and this time he specially sent a picture of blessings and longevity. Almost all the guests went to the living room to admire the master's work. Ji Xiaoting, as the host, at this time It was impossible not to be there, but Qin Mu saw that he had nothing to do, so he ran to the back kitchen.
Yesterday Song Xiaofeng told him that he was going to work, but Qin Mu didn't realize it, he thought it was better to go to the Japanese food store, but later he heard that the Japanese food store was closed for a day and found it strange, so he asked Song Xiaoyue to ask, Qin Mu didn't expect that Ji Xiaoting finally let Song Xiaoyue come , and superfluously let him work in the back kitchen, which is more idiotic than bringing him directly in front of his parents. I really don't know what Ji Xiaoting is thinking.But this is the end of the matter, what Qin Mu said is meaningless.
Today, more than half of the kitchen is set up outdoors. In the small open space behind the servant building, Song Xiaoyue is mainly responsible for loading dishes, while Xiaofeng washes vegetables and fruits with the little girl in the shop.Song Xiaofeng, who Qin Mu found, was squatting under the faucet. He had just finished washing a small basket of mulberries, and his hands were stained with purple.
Mulberries, a cheap and faded fruit, usually don't appear at high-class parties, but this is Mrs. Ji's favorite, and several people in Ji Xiaoting's father's generation love to eat it. This small basket won't be long. will be eaten.
Song Xiaofeng looked at his hands stupidly, thinking that he had crushed the mulberry, the little girl looked at it for fun, so she handed him one, and after he finished eating, she teased him that he was poisoned, if you don't believe me, look in the mirror Look, Song Xiaofeng was terrified, drooping his eyes to look for his brother, but was pulled by Qin Mu.
Song Xiaofeng laughed when he saw it was Qin Mu, and called out happily "Mumu" and then remembered the incident of his being poisoned. He was very anxious, pointed at himself and said, "Mumu, Xiaofeng, you've been poisoned..."
Qin Mu gave the little girl a reproachful glance, the little girl also knew Qin Mu, she was caught making fun of Xiaofeng, she was embarrassed and worried, and was about to explain to Song Xiaofeng, Qin Mu signaled her not to speak, and pulled The man squatted back under the faucet again.
Finger by finger, he helped Song Xiaofeng wash his fingers. Qin Mu comforted him with amused and helpless words, "Xiaofeng is not afraid, wash your hands first, Mumu will take Xiaofeng to find the antidote."
The girl who was trying to reduce her sense of existence was stunned, she was amazing my brother, you still know how to play.
Qin Mu completely ignored the stunned girl, took out a tissue from his pocket and carefully wiped his hands clean, then took out his own handkerchief and dipped some water to wipe the juice from his mouth.Song Xiaofeng just ate one, and there were not many traces on his mouth, but his tongue was purple. Qin Mu couldn't help but want to suck his little tongue, whether he could lick his little tongue clean, or it would mess up their tongues. All dirty.
Qin Mu's rationality is still much tougher than Ji Xiaoting's. After a little shaking, he found it, wiped Xiaofeng's mouth clean, and didn't care about the girl next to him. He pulled Song Xiaofeng out and asked, "Your brother?" Woolen cloth?"
Song Xiaofeng pointed to the small one-story house on one side, and told Song Xiaoyue to look inside.
Qin Mu thought for a while, then turned around and said to the girl, "I'll take Xiaofeng for a walk, and if Song Xiaoyue asked, you said yes and took her away."
The girl hurriedly nodded and said yes, in fact, she really wanted to say that Xiaofeng was looking for a job now, but seeing Qin Mu not turning his head back, she swallowed all the words back.
Qin Mu dragged Song Xiaofeng to the front yard only to remember that he was still wearing the kitchen apron, so he took it off and wanted to throw it aside, but Song Xiaofeng wouldn't let him throw it away, so he had to hold it in his hand.
He had been thinking about taking Song Xiaofeng to see his uncle for a few days yesterday. Uncle Qin had many disciples, but not too many. It's true to be familiar with it first.The situation of him and Song Xiaofeng is different from that of Ji Xiaoting. Many people in the Qin family know about Xiaofeng's existence. Qin Mu said that he looked pitiful and thought he was very talented, so he wanted to help.His feelings for Song Xiaofeng may never be revealed, and he will not let his family have a bad impression of Xiaofeng, although when he asked himself, he had to admit that he had fantasized that one day he could bring Xiaofeng to Song Xiaofeng as a lover. In front of the family.However, no matter what his identity is, Qin Mu carefully cultivated it bit by bit, without being aggressive.
As a scholarly family, almost everyone in the Qin family regards etiquette, righteousness and benevolence as the golden rule. Before Qin Mu mentioned it, they were full of sympathy for Xiaofeng. Now they see Xiaofeng, who is clean and well-behaved, with eyes so clean that they can fill the entire sky. When it's windy, I can't help but feel a pity.Qin Mu also talked about Xiaofeng's current competition situation, and the Qin family thought it was very rare.
Some mentally handicapped people have talents that are easy for ordinary people in certain aspects. Once they have specialties in a certain field, they are usually top-notch, because they are much purer than normal people.Even the uncle of the Qin family said that he would pay attention to Xiaofeng, and if he was really talented, he could even introduce him to his friends.Uncle Qin's words were worth a thousand gold. Qin Mu had achieved satisfactory results, so he took Song Xiaofeng away.
Ji Xiaoting, who was finally free, ran into the kitchen against the clock.Because it is an old man's birthday banquet, it is still held in a relatively primitive form today. All guests are seated as a family, and there are screens between each table.In this way, the workload of both the back kitchen and the waiters has greatly increased. It is less than an hour before leaving the table. It is the time when the kitchen is busy. The kitchen of seventy or eighty square meters is full of people. Ji Xiaoting watched it well It took a while to find Song Xiaoyue among a group of helpers wearing masks.
Song Xiaoyue was dividing the thick soup into small cups, and there were several people beside him doing the same work.
Although it wasn't particularly hot in May, the kitchen was not as well ventilated as outside, and it was hot and crowded, Song Xiaoyue's forehead was already sweating.
Ji Xiaoting walked out without saying a word, pulling people away. He really didn't expect that the real kitchen would be so tiring. Looking at the posture, he was even more tiring than collecting so many tables in the school cafeteria.
Obviously Song Xiaoyue won't go with him, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ji Xiaoting doesn't want to be as messy as before.
The colleagues in the Japanese grocery store are used to Boss Ji's stickiness, but other part-time jobs are very at a loss. When Ji Xiaoting went outside to carry fruit for everyone to eat, the people around Song Xiaoyue dragged him to ask questions.
After finally sending Ji Xiaoting away, the housekeeper of the Ji family called for someone again. Although the kitchen was so busy that there was no time to go to the bathroom, but Mrs. Ji wanted to see him, and Song Xiaoyue couldn't help but go.
He could almost guess what Wen Yaxian would say to him. He always knew that there would be such a day, but he never thought that this day would come so soon, but after thinking about it, he found it normal. Ji Xiaoting always made a big fuss Yes, Song Xiaoyue probably couldn't bear it long ago.It's also because he didn't think about it carefully, otherwise he wouldn't come here today, he thought that he would be fine if he worked in the back kitchen in peace, but with his relationship with Ji Xiaoting, it's hard to justify coming to the door now, so come and wish the old man well It's just a birthday, what's the point of sneaking around in the back kitchen?
Song Xiaoyue followed the butler into the main building through the back door, and then took the elevator to the third floor beside the side hall. Only then did Song Xiaoyue know that there are elevators installed in rich people's villas.The main building of Ji's house has five floors. The first floor is used for various halls and audio-visual rooms. On the Internet are the residences of Grandma Ji, Ji Guorui, Wen Yaxian, and the two brothers of Ji's family. The fourth floor is equipped with facilities such as an indoor swimming pool and a gym.
Song Xiaoyue was taken directly to the third floor. He didn't see the distribution of Ji's house with his own eyes, but the housekeeper told him. Just listening to it refreshed Song Xiaoyue's understanding of money.The decoration of Ji's house is not resplendent, but it exudes delicacy and nobility everywhere. Song Xiaoyue stepped on the thick cashmere carpet, and his footsteps were eaten by the carpet.
Wen Yaxian was waiting for him in a small living room about [-] or [-] square meters. She was standing on the balcony outside the living room. When the door opened, Song Xiaoyue even felt blinded, just like in a TV drama.But in fact, the sun is soft today.
Wen Yaxian looked less than 40 years old, wearing a royal blue dress, her hair was pulled up at the back of her head seemingly casually, when she saw Song Xiaoyue coming in, she walked into the room from the balcony, and greeted Song Xiaoyue to sit down with a smile, "What would you like to drink?"
Song Xiaoyue was stunned, Wen Yaxian didn't urge him, just looked at him and smiled, Song Xiaoyue quickly replied, "Just drink water."
Wen Yaxian turned back and asked the housekeeper to bring two glasses of distilled water, then sat down casually on the sofa opposite Song Xiaoyue, and said with a smile: "Drinking water is good and healthy. I also like drinking water."
Song Xiaoyue didn't know how to respond, he was still talking in a daze until now, Wen Yaxian would come to him obviously because she already knew about him and Ji Xiaoting, according to the normal process, she should be scolded, even if she wasn't scolded. A check was sent, but Wen Yaxian acted like she wanted to chat with him.He had already thought about it, if Wen Yaxian scolded him, he would listen, and he would accept the check, but now he didn't know what to do in this situation.
The housekeeper quickly came in with water, and then went out again, Wen Yaxian said again: "Don't be nervous, drink some water." Song Xiaoyue obediently picked up the water glass and drank half of it, and when she put down the glass, she saw Wen Yaxian Xian still looked at herself with a smile, and suddenly became a little at a loss.
Wen Yaxian is a little funny, this looks like a little white rabbit, his son is so good at it?
"I heard that you just won a national competition award? That's really good, much better than Xiao Ting."
"It's the team award, and it's all thanks to the brothers and sisters..." Song Xiaoyue blushed, completely confused about this routine.
"That's better than that brat." Wen Yaxian brushed the broken hair next to her ears, "I'm a mother who knows how out of tune that kid is."
Song Xiaoyue was speechless, she couldn't agree with her saying that Ji Xiaoting was really out of tune.
Wen Yaxian didn't care, and continued: "But in the past few months, he has become more reliable, and I think it's mostly because of you."
Song Xiaoyue's back went stiff after hearing this sentence.
Wen Yaxian added: "It's good to have you watching him, his father and I are very relieved."
Song Xiaoyue:? ? ? ?
He thought those words before were just words on occasion, what does it mean now?They don't mind if Ji Xiaoting finds a man?
Song Xiaoyue looked at Wen Yaxian in shock, and Wen Yaxian patted his hand, "As soon as I saw you, I knew you were a good boy and a child with sense of propriety."
Oh, here comes the twist.Song Xiaoyue thought.
"He has been spoiled by us since he was a child. You should be more responsible. If he bullies you or fails you, don't worry. Our Ji family will definitely compensate you."
What does it mean?Does it mean that Ji Xiaoting will not want him in the future, and the Ji family will give him a little consolation prize?what is this?
Song Xiaoyue suddenly became less nervous, but felt that Wen Yaxian's way was a little hard to explain.
"Of course we also hope that you two are well. Even if Xiao Ting gets married in the future, the Ji family will never treat you badly."
Song Xiaoyue calmed down completely now, he felt very ridiculous in his heart, so he laughed, "You mean, Ji Xiaoting will get married in the future, and you don't mind if he keeps me outside?"
What he said sounded a bit weird and not pleasant to the ear, but Wen Yaxian had never seen anyone before, so she just nodded lightly, "These are all things to say later, I came to you today just to meet you."
Song Xiaoyue said, "Thank you, the kitchen is busy, I'll go back to work first."
"No need to go, there are so many people in the kitchen, it doesn't matter if you are missing."
Song Xiaoyue shook her head, "I am here to work today, the salary is very high today, I need it very much. Thank you, I will go first."
Before Wen Yaxian could speak, the door was knocked open, and Ji Xiaoting rushed in with a bad face, shouting: "Mom, why did you bring him here?"
