Chapter 1036 The Cook
As soon as Tian Shao heard it, he knew that Li Chun was a bun. Otherwise, those people in the man's family would have left long ago and waited for her ex-husband to kick her out. But what she wanted was a cook and not an assistant, so as long as the dishes were cooked well, it didn't matter if she was soft-tempered.
"How's the craft?"
Mr. Hu said: "Her mother-in-law's natal family has been acting for generations, and she was instructed by her mother-in-law after she entered the door. Although she has suffered a lot, she has learned the true cooking skills. Old Mu said that if it is not inconvenient, he would like to invite people to the house Come cook."
Old Mutou's wife died of illness ten years ago, and now he lives alone. There are two houses in the family, but he is a widower and has never thought of remarrying. If he invites Li Chun to cook at home, there will be gossip.
"How is your character?"
Mr. Hu nodded and said: "There's no such thing as character. When Lao Mu was in the most difficult time, everyone regarded their husband and wife as scourges, and only Li Chun gave them food and clothing in the middle of the night. The gold bracelet was replaced with food stamps and money, and Old Mu got through the most difficult days relying on the food stamps and money."
After a pause, he said again: "It's also this kindness that makes old Mu want to find her a good home. After she settles down, he plans to find another good man for her to marry. With Li Chun's temperament, Only if you remarry and have a man to protect you, that disgusting family will not come to pester you."
Tian Shao didn't express any opinion, but said: "Don't look for another life, you go to Mr. Mu now and let this big sister Li cook."
If Li Chun's cooking skills are really good, he will stay. If the family dares to come and get entangled, he will come and beat him once. Unless you are not afraid of pain, you will never have the guts to do it again.
Mr. Hu went out happily after hearing the words. He has always wanted to find a cook, but he found several of them but were not satisfied. It is said that Li Chun can cook Beijing and Huaiyang dishes. And these two cuisines are exactly what he likes.
An hour later, Tian Shao saw someone. This Li Chun was pretty handsome, and he was fair and tender, but his eyes were a little timid. Standing in front of her bed, he didn't dare to raise his head with an embarrassed expression.
When Tian Shao saw her, he understood why old man Mu wanted to find her a powerful and kind master. This temper is worse than Sanya, if you meet someone with a bad heart, you will not be bullied to death.
Li Chun asked in a mosquito-like voice: "Comrade Tian, Tian, don't worry, I, I can do all the work on the stove."
Tian Shao didn't make things difficult for her, and said: "I can't eat spicy food now, the old man said that I can only drink porridge. Go and make a pot of porridge, it should have a taste."
These words felt contradictory, but Li Chun agreed.
Tan Yue didn't intervene in this matter, if this person is good at cooking, he will check the other party's details. If there is no problem with their background and character, they will stay, and if they are not good, they will leave.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Tian Shao was worried about him so he hadn't found a satisfactory cook for so long. Otherwise, just like Hong Kong City, with a high salary, you have already found a satisfactory chef.
An hour later, Sanya brought a bowl of porridge into the room for Tian Shao: "Sister, this Sister Li is really good at cooking, this porridge is not only beautiful, but also very fragrant."
She also cooked a lot of porridge, which was never so fragrant.
Tian Shao also smelled the aroma just now, this dish pays attention to the color, fragrance and taste, so the cooking skills will not be bad just because of this aroma. After taking a bite, she couldn't help but nodded. This fish porridge has no fishy smell, only pure umami taste, and the taste is also delicious.
In the morning, he managed to eat a bowl of porridge, but this time Tian Shao directly drank two bowls, and his forehead was sweating after eating.
Tian Shao leaned against the bed, smiled and said to Sanya: "Please invite Sister Li in, I have something to say to her."
Sanya felt that Li Chun's craftsmanship really wanted her to stay, not only sympathized with the other party but also wanted to learn how to cook from him, so she helped her with good words: "Sister, although Sister Li's clothes are old, they are neat and clean, and there are no nails. Also, when cooking, I wrap my head with a piece of cloth, saying that this way the hair will not fall into the dish."
Tian Shao nodded to show that he understood. As for cooking skills, a bowl of porridge is enough to prove it, but there are some things that need to be clarified. If she can't give her a satisfactory answer, she won't let her stay.
Li Chun hopes to stay. The cousin-in-law said that the family is very rich and the hostess is also very kind. If she can stay and work in her house, she will definitely not treat her badly.
Although Mr. Mu had never met Tian Shao, he knew that Mrs. Hu was a kind person from the fact that Mr. Hu lived in Tian's house for so long and was contented. Otherwise, with Mr. Hu's virtue, few people can stand it.
Tian Shao asked: "Sister Li, can you tell me about your personal situation, it's best to be more specific."
Li Chun knows that rich people like this are very particular. However, she has a clean background, and she is not afraid of being asked: "My family is in Datougou, more than 50 miles away from Sijiu City. The family is too poor, and the two elder brothers cannot marry a wife. Later, a middle-aged man came to propose marriage, and it was Duan Home. The Duan family met me and said they were willing to give a hundred catties of grain and a gift of 60 yuan, but the condition was that I would not be able to return to my natal family in the future.”
This is not marrying a daughter-in-law, it is clearly buying a woman and going back.
She paused at this point, then lowered her head, and said: "My parents agreed, and then I was led into Duan's house. My parents took the bride price and married my two elder brothers as wives. Later, my elder brother My sister-in-law came to the door, and after the Duan family beat them away, I was hungry for two days. I have been in the Duan family for more than 20 years, and I have never been back, not even my parents passed away."
When he said this, there was an indelible sadness on his face.
Tian Shao asked: "After the divorce, have you ever gone back?"
Li Chun nodded and said: "I was homeless after the divorce, so I went back. When my brother and sister-in-law heard that I was kicked out by the Duan family, they said that there was no room for me to live in. I buried my parents and came back. .”
Tian Shao asked her: "Do you hate your parents?"
Li Chun shook his head and said, "I don't hate it. At that time, the family was really too hard to eat. Although the Duan family was suffering, they could eat enough, and they had new cotton-padded jackets to wear in winter. However, my brother and sister-in-law kicked me out. Will go back again."
"So, don't you hate Duan's family?"
After a long silence, Li Chun said, "I don't hate my mother-in-law. Although she is strict, she taught me how to cook, and she didn't starve and freeze me."
"Where's your man and your two stepson?"
Li Chun didn't want to answer, but Tian Shao leaned on the bedside and looked at her. She couldn't answer: "Hate. But I only hate Duan Datou. The two children were not born to me, so it's normal if I don't like them."
She didn't say anything, she didn't like those two children either.
A key question was asked: "If Duan Datou and his two sons regretted it and came to beg you to go back, would you go back with them?"
There were only Tian Shao and sisters in the room, Li Chun took off his thick clothes without hesitation, and then rolled up his sleeves to show Tian Shao. Both arms were bruised one by one, which looked scary.
Sanya exclaimed in surprise: "My God..."
Li Chun said: "I didn't want a divorce, so he beat me, and I was injured all over my body. If it wasn't for my cousin-in-law, I might have died. I have already died once, and I won't go back again."
Having said that, Tian Shao is relieved, as long as she is not a masochist.
