my dream adventure

Chapter 208 Mandarin Duck Hot Pot (78)

"My home is a small town on the southern coast. It's nothing unusual. I wandered here by chance and caused you trouble. I'll go back when I have enough money." Lin Yuan obviously didn't tell the truth, but he didn't hide it maliciously either. .

He didn't know when he would be able to leave this dream, so he could only say a few words temporarily to fool the couple.

Seeing his answer, Yuan Shaofen was stunned for a moment, but he quickly adjusted, "It's okay, Xiaoyuan, you can stay at ease, we will definitely treat you well."

After Yuan Shaofen finished speaking, he used the excuse of going to the bathroom, and dragged her husband to the next room to whisper.

"Old man, do you think that young man is a fugitive or something? Why don't you hide from us and refuse to tell the truth?" She was a little worried.

After all, this is the first time a woman encounters such a thing, and it is always easy for a woman to think too much.

The boss comforted her, "I think this young man is not bad, he is polite and stable in his dealings with others. Look at him, he is skinny. How can he look like a criminal?"

"But, he, you don't think it's a little strange. I always feel that something is wrong with the clothes on his body and the lamb he has been holding." She simply sat down, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Where is there such a person who randomly enters other people's homes, saying that they are homeless and come to work.

Even if he is really skilled, an ordinary store manager would not dare to hire an unknown person.

I can't keep track of when I will get into trouble.

"It's really a bit weird. Let me stay here tonight after I ask more questions." The boss was still persuading him, but he was almost persuaded by his wife.

"Okay then, you clean up the upper compartment for him, and don't let him live in the downstairs store at night. Be careful that there are rats that bite his ears. And that little lamb, let him go Keep it on the roof, don't let it eat the vegetables we grow!" Yuan Shaofen yelled.

The boss smiled slightly. His wife, after all, has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. She hates everything in her mouth, but she still cares about this young man psychologically.

Back in the store, Lin Yuan had already packed today's bowls and chopsticks, and his movements were so swift, the boss was secretly surprised, and had a little more admiration for this young man.

After arranging a place for him, the shop was about to close, and there were no customers all day today. In the evening, Yuan Shaofen went to his parents-in-law's house, brought his child back, and put the child to sleep at night.

Lin Yuan tied the little lamb to the roof, threw some rotten leaves for it to eat, touched the few strands of curly hair on the top of the little lamb's head, and said to himself.

"Little lamb, little lamb, you and I are in the same boat now, it's okay, if I, Lin Yuan, have a bite of food, I will also have your share, and I won't starve you to death."

The little lamb bleated twice, as if responding to the other party.

Going back to the cubicle, it was supposed to be a place to store sundries, but now there are still many scattered corrugated paper shells piled up in the corner.

The boss brought him blankets and pillows, and a change of clothes, and he took a quick shower, the cleanest he'd had in so many days.

It was really comfortable all over, and the whole person came alive.

Facing the mirror in the bathroom, he saw his own ghostly appearance, because he hadn't cut his hair for several days, his beard was also scruffy, his face was darkened by the sun, and there were spots of pigmentation.

Lin Yuan cut his hair a little shorter with scissors, and shaved his beard clean, making his whole body much more refreshed.

The short-sleeved white shirt given by the boss is very suitable for him. After all, it is a retro style from the previous era. It looks a bit old-fashioned, but it is also calmer.

As soon as he got out of the bathroom, Yuan Shaofen was hugging the infant baby to sleep, when he saw Lin Yuan, his eyes lit up.

"It's not bad, young man, it's quite durable when it's cleaned up." She also had a carefree temper, without any restraint.

Seeing her holding the doll, Lin Yuan walked over curiously.

The doll pouted, put its thumb in its mouth, and showed a half-smile expression.

"Very cute baby, how many months old is this?" He asked with concern.

"It's been exactly two months, and I haven't got a name yet." She replied.

"It looks so cute, why not call it Baby, isn't your store also called by that name?" He said casually.

"Baby?" Yuan Shaofen was a little surprised. Although she was used to calling her baby, she never thought of giving her a name like this. "It sounds good, I really hope she will be a baby all her life."

She smiled softly, revealing the brilliance of motherhood, holding the child and gently touching her forehead.

That intimate act made Lin Yuan feel slightly sad, and no one thought of it.

Ten years later, such a lovely mother will suffer from stomach cancer.

"By the way, Xiaoyuan, what kind of job did you do before? You must be a great chef if you are so good at cooking." Yuan Shaofen asked naturally.

"No, no." Lin Yuan shook his head shyly. At first he wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, he might as well make a plan and let them misunderstand, so as to save himself from having to make up another identity, "It's not a chef, it's the hometown. I studied under a master craftsman for two years."

"I see. No wonder your cooking skills are so good, much better than my husband's half-baked chef." Yuan Shaofen put the baby back in the cradle.

Going back to the house, I took out a blank sheet of paper, deleted and filled it out, wrote a book of menus, and detailed ingredients and cooking methods.

"What does this mean?" Lin Yuan took the brochure, a little surprised.

Looking at Aunt Yuan's appearance, it seems that she has studied various dishes and recorded a lot of experience.

"Haha, I made you laugh. In fact, since I was very young, I wanted to open my own restaurant. It's just that I haven't been able to raise funds, but I have met more people over the years, and I have traveled all over the world. I can eat all over the world. Yes, and also recorded a lot of secret recipes for cooking." Yuan Shaofen said lightly.

Lin Yuan searched carefully, and found not only some records of the four major Chinese cuisines, but also records of Western food and Japanese ingredients. Although it is incomplete and there are many subjective assumptions, it is not easy.

It seems that the main source of ideas for opening this store came from Aunt Yuan.

"Although I have a lot of ideas, I don't do well in cooking, and I need funds to open a shop. I made some money after the supermarket I ran in the town closed, plus some from my husband. So I ran to Yangcheng to station here." She recalled the past.

It is rare that there is a young man in the store who can chat well, pulling Lin Yuan to talk endlessly.

Lin Yuan came here to get to know the dream master, but he didn't find it annoying. He listened to Aunt Yuan and continued to talk about it.

"It's really not easy for a big sister. It's not easy to realize a dream in this age." He thinks Yuan Shaofen is an ambitious dreamer.

Unlike the usual women who are content with the status quo, getting married and having children, and then being a full-time mother to take care of the whole family does not seem to match Yuan Shaofen's image.

"Do you also think I'm weird? No ordinary woman is like me. Now I'm basically the head of the family, and my wife has to obey me obediently." She said with a little pride.

"I see that your husband and wife Xianyan are too late, why would you think so much." He chuckled lightly.

Yuan Shaofen sighed, "Ever since the baby was born, I realized that the relationship between relatives is so precious. Looking back a hundred times in the previous life, it is only in exchange for being a husband and wife in this life, let alone this child..."

As she spoke, she wept.

The boss, who was watching secretly, finally came out to comfort her.

"The customer is still there, why are you crying." The boss hugged her like a child.

Aunt Yuan raised her head, cried and laughed at the same time, and talked to Lin Yuan, "Xiao Yuan really made a joke, my big sister doesn't know what to do today, that's all, that's all, I'll make you some tea."

She said, hiding her face and turning into the kitchen.

Lin Yuan has mixed feelings.

The boss looked at the baby for a while, then sat down on the seat, facing Lin Yuan.

"My wife is not usually like this. Maybe today is a guest, and she gets excited when she is happy. Don't blame me." The boss was trying to excuse his daughter-in-law.

Lin Yuan looked calm, "It's not easy for the elder sister, there have been many hardships along the way."

"Yeah, before meeting me, she was much more self-willed than she is now. She dared to do anything, and she was often disliked by the people around her." The boss took out a cigarette, lit it, got up immediately, and opened the doors and windows of the house. ventilation.

Just like that, a person stood by the window, looking at the dark night sky, a little fascinated and melancholy.

"I think Eldest Sister is very happy with you. Sometimes I really envy your relationship with her." Lin Yuan also walked to the window.

"Hey." The boss laughed heartily, "Xiao Yuan, you will understand when you get married in the future. Between husband and wife, where there are so many match made in heaven, it is a tacit understanding that has been honed slowly."

"makes sense."

"However, when I first fell in love with her, I felt that this woman is different from others. She has ideas, independent spirit and courage. She is definitely not the kind of vulgar woman who is delicate and clings to a man." The boss wiped out the cigarette butt Yes, throw it in the trash can.

His wife doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, and naturally after giving birth, she is more sensitive to it. Every time he secretly smokes, he has to go back to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth to clean himself up.

"Elder Sister is a nice woman." Lin Yuan said bluntly, without any offense, it was purely a kind of admiration for Yuan Shaofen.

The young boss turned around halfway through the walk, and said jokingly, "Don't try to attack my wife, or I won't let you go, haha."

"No, no. How dare you." Lin Yuan looked up in a panic.

He also knew that the other party was joking, but he definitely didn't mean that, so he had to make it clear.

Otherwise, if you are misunderstood in the future, you will not be able to clear it up. You don't want to bear unwarranted charges like last time with Ms. Yang.
