Just when Ronaldo was enjoying his meal, he suddenly saw a pair of boots appearing in front of him. His hand reaching for the vegetable leaves stopped, and then his eyes followed the boots upwards, and then he saw a person.
It was the man who gave himself ten pennies.
At this time, he was looking at himself expressionlessly, and his beautiful little maid was following behind him, carrying a big bag in her hand. The things in the bag should be very heavy. The little maid put the things on the ground, She pursed her lips tightly and looked at herself with a look of vigilance.
"Hi, we meet again. By the way, I forgot to ask your name last time." Ronaldo stood up with a smile, not at all ashamed of his actions just now.
"He Jiaan." He Jiaan didn't seem to have seen the scene just now, but stretched out his hand first.
You know, just now my hand was still picking rotten leaves, but now I want to shake hands with this young man, even Ronaldo felt a little incredible, tilted his head and smiled, and held hands with He Jiaan.
"He, are you here to see me?"
"It's like this..." After a pause, He Jiaan looked back at Xiu'er, and then said: "My maidservant is not strong enough, and I just need someone to help me. I think you need a job, so Just try to come and ask you."
"Do you care about the food?" Ronaldo did not hesitate.
"Okay, I agree." Ronaldo didn't say anything else, and directly bypassed He Jia'an, took the big bag from Xiu'er and carried it on his body, and gestured with a smile: "Lead the way ahead."
Chapter 13
The sun was setting, and the streets were full of people hurrying home.
Not far from Chen's residence, a carriage slowly came over, and the maid Xiaozhao was sitting on the shaft. When she saw the figure in front of the residence, she quickly turned her head and shouted: "Miss, it seems to be uncle."
"Huh?" The exhausted Chen Yueying responded, and lifted the curtain of the car to look out. Sure enough, He Jiaan's back just disappeared at the gate, followed by two people. The thinner one should be Xiu'er, but the one who looked Who is the tall one?
After a few more glances, until the backs of the three people could not be seen at all, Chen Yueying then lowered the curtain. She couldn't say she had any good feelings for this He Jia'an, but she didn't have any malice. It's nothing more than multiple decorations in his own home. As for what he does and what he wants to do, just let him go.
Chen Yueying didn't want to have anything to do with He Jia'an, but something happened to her. She had just rested in the yard for a while, but Xiu'er hurried over and told herself that my uncle was going to treat her to dinner.
Have a meal?
The expression on Chen Yueying's face was stunned. Although she couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in He Jiaan's gourd, she subconsciously refused.
"Miss, my uncle told me that I must invite you, and he also said that there is a big deal involved." As expected by my uncle, the eldest lady refused the invitation, but it was nothing. My uncle also said that as long as it comes to business, even if the eldest lady doesn't want to, she still wants to come.
"What business can he have?" Chen Yueying asked suspiciously, but she stood up, shook her head slowly, and snorted softly: "I want to see what business he can do."
I have lived in the Chen Mansion for so long, and I have also heard a lot of news about Chen Yueying from Xiu'er. On the whole, He Jiaan feels that this woman is not an ordinary woman, but looks like herself. Pretending to be a soul from the future, in this era when women are virtuous without talent, they actually hold such a large economic empire in their hands. In the eyes of outsiders, the Chen family is naturally the Chen of Chen Xi, but it is only the Chen family. Only people who know that what matters in the mansion is the young lady who looks as weak as a white flower.
He Jia'an has no way of knowing what happened to Chen's house recently, but he can feel that the current situation of Chen's house should not be very good from a trivial matter, that is, not only his own monthly report has not been issued, but even Xiu'er and the others It hasn't been released for the time being, although it is said that it will be released after a while, but He Jia'an believes that something happened in the Chen Mansion, which is why Chen Yueying can't pay so much money now.
In order to live a wasteful life of stretching out his hands for clothes and opening his mouth for food, He Jiaan decided to help Chen Yueying first. As for whether she would appreciate it or not...that's not up to him.
It is not an easy task to cook a successful barbecue, starting from meat selection, meat cutting, marinating, skewering, including fire control are all indispensable.
The most ideal helper should be Xiu'er, but she was called out by herself, and the clumsy Ronaldo could only cut meat. Fortunately, He Jia'an found another cook from the kitchen, and finally, before Chen Yueying arrived, the marinated The meat skewers were placed on top of the charcoal fire.
Pushing open the courtyard door, one can see the afterglow of the setting sun shining in the courtyard. He Jia'an, who has changed into simple clothes, is standing in a corner of the courtyard. There is a strange looking iron frame in front of him. There should be a charcoal fire in the frame. From a distance, I saw flames bursting out from time to time.
Looking at He Jia'an again, he seemed to be in a bit of a panic. He couldn't see what he was holding in his hand from a distance, and he turned it around in a hurry. He probably heard a sound from the courtyard door. When he looked up and saw himself, he pointed Leaning on the stone bench, he made a gesture of invitation.
Are you mistaken, this is your home, okay? You are just a decoration.
I thought so in my heart, but my body sat down obediently. Seeing that He Jiaan sprinkled all kinds of powdery things on it from time to time, Chen Yueying felt a little confused, turned her head and asked: "Xiuer, what is he doing? What did you do?"
"This... I don't know very well." Xiu'er was also confused, although she and He Jiaan bought the things together, but she didn't know anything about the operation.
"Then what is he holding in his hand?"
"I heard it's called meat skewers."
"Meat skewers?" Chen Yueying subconsciously wanted to refuse when she heard the word "meat". It's not that she didn't want to eat meat, but she felt a little distressed when she thought that her body would gain weight after eating meat. But suddenly smelled a strange aroma.
This aroma is very close to the aroma of mutton, but it is very different from the usual roasted mutton. Just smelling this smell, Chen Yueying's stomach groaned a few times, and if she just wanted to refuse, she would Swallowing it down, his eyes looked expectantly at He Jiaan's direction, wanting to know what this meat skewer tastes like.
Not long after, the two meat skewers were roasted, and He Jiaan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, took the meat skewers over, put them on the plate in front of Chen Yueying, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've roasted, the craftsmanship It's a little rusty, you can taste it first, if it doesn't taste good, put it down, there will be better ones later."
It was okay when they were far away, but now when the meat skewers were placed in front of him, the aroma kept going into his nose, as if he hadn't felt this kind of hunger for a long time, but He Jiaan was still standing in front of him, but Chen Yueying was a little embarrassed, staring at the meat skewers, waiting for He Jiaan to go away.
This is the reason for the different education. He Jiaan is still standing here waiting for others to taste the meat skewers, so as to put forward different opinions, but seeing that Chen Yueying just watched but didn't say a word, he couldn't help being dumbfounded. The individual stared at each other like a clay sculpture, and in the end Xiu'er at the side felt that the situation was a little weird, so he winked at He Jia'an and said, "Grandpa, didn't you say there are still more?"
After he left, Chen Yueying breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Zhao who was on the side quickly came up, and used chopsticks to pick off the meat on the skewer piece by piece into the plate. Chen Yueying picked up a piece, looked at it first, and then slowly put it into her mouth Li, after taking a few small bites, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Chapter 14 Upfront Investment
I can't say that I haven't eaten delicious meat skewers, but I can't find meat skewers with this taste even though I searched all over my memory. It is slightly spicy with a hint of fresh fragrance, coupled with the tender mutton, it immediately makes Chen Yueying feel like The feeling of whet your appetite.
At first, I didn't feel anything, but gradually Xiao Zhao's speed of pulling the meat couldn't keep up with Chen Yueying's rhythm. Just when Chen Yueying was having fun, a nasty voice suddenly interrupted her movements.
"Oh, this is not how you eat lamb skewers." Holding the freshly grilled lamb skewers in his hand, He Jiaan didn't treat himself as an outsider, and sat directly opposite Chen Yueying, picked up two skewers, and handed them to Chen Yueying He held one in his hand, and then demonstrated it to her while eating: "See, this mutton skewer is the best when you eat it directly like this, and this thing should be eaten while it's hot."
After finishing speaking, he picked up a few more skewers and handed them to Xiao Zhao and Xiu'er who hadn't dared to do it all this time: "Come on, what is important about eating mutton skewers is an atmosphere, let's eat together..." After a pause, He Jiaan couldn't help but He said without regret: "It would be better if there were some cold beers."
After smelling it for so long, the two little maids were naturally salivating, but the eldest lady didn't speak, and the two of them didn't have the guts. They stood obediently one by one, and didn't even dare to squint.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Yueying still took the meat skewers handed over by He Jiaan, but when she saw how he was eating, she couldn't help but frowned slightly. After struggling for a long time, she still followed He Jiaan's example and bit down lightly. The top piece of meat.
Sure enough, he was right, although this way of eating is not very elegant, but the taste is more intense than the one just now, and then saw He Jiaan handing out the mutton skewers to others, although Chen Yueying didn't say anything, she nodded slightly , I agree with He Jiaan's move.
Now that the eldest lady had agreed, the two little maids were not polite, and hurriedly thanked them, took the meat skewers, imitated He Jiaan's action and took a bite, and the two of them immediately showed the same smile on their faces.
"How about it? It's delicious." He Jiaan's smiling face was full of temptation.
The two little maids nodded, and within a few mouthfuls, they ate up the meat skewers in their hands. After they finished eating, they dared not ask for more. They stared at the remaining ones on the plate, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
"Okay, when it comes to eating, you can't always work alone, right?" He Jia'an changed the tone and said, "Come here, you two, there are a lot of them over there, and I'll teach you how to grill meat on skewers." cooked."
The two little maids went with He Jiaan, and only Chen Yueying was left here alone, eating the meat skewers slowly, but she knew in her heart that since He Jiaan dismissed the two maids, the next drama should come, but I don't know what exactly he wants.
Turning strings is actually not difficult. After teaching for a while, the two little maids are considered to be teachers. The two of them are standing side by side, and they are very excited.
Holding a few meat skewers in his hand, He Jiaan came back again, still in the same seat, still in the same action, but with a change of tone, he went straight to the point.
"I want to borrow some money from you."
"Oh?" Sure enough, as expected, Chen Yueying's evaluation of He Jia'an suddenly dropped a lot in her heart. It was just a meat skewer meal, and she had to borrow money from herself. This He Jia'an really made a good plan.
"How many?"
"2000 taels." He Jiaan stretched out two fingers and gestured.
2000 taels?Chen Yueying was startled immediately, and then a trace of disdain appeared on her face, she said coldly, "What if I say no?"
"That's nothing."
Unexpectedly, He Jiaan didn't mean to stalk, and then said: "I just think you missed an opportunity to make a fortune."
