Chapter 15 Chapter 15 "Which boss should I choose?" ...
"Did you come here specially to laugh at me?" Qiao Zhuoyi also turned his face away and coughed a few times.
"Yueyue and Lele called me," Tan Du raised his arm, the green leaves sticking out of the edge of the plastic bag. "I bought these on the spur of the moment, they're not as fresh as they were this morning, Boss Qiao, will you please make do with them?"
Qiao Zhuoyi didn't move: "Boss Tan, do you think I'm short of vegetables?"
"Uncle Tan——"
The two children rushed out, pulling Tan Du's hand into the living room. Qin Yue cried at the top of her lungs, "Uncle's food is poisonous!"
The veins on Qiao Zhuo's forehead were throbbing.
Tan Du saw the food on the table and rubbed his nose: "What is this?"
"Red braised pork." Qiao Zhuo glared at him, "Don't laugh."
"Uncle, please do it for us—" Qin Yue shook Tan Du's hand.
Qiao Zhuo was skeptical. How could someone without a sense of taste cook delicious food? Well, at least it should be edible.
"Please talk to the boss."
Tan Du raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Boss Qiao believes me?"
Qiao Zhuoyi was helpless: "Can it be cooked?"
"Of course," Tan Du smiled, "Boss Qiao will help with the seasoning later."
"Yeah." Qiao Zhuo pointed and said, "You two, go play first. Blanket, watch over them."
After two "OK"s and a "Woof" in unison, the blanket followed the two children to squat next to the sofa.
Tan Du was wearing a long-sleeved shirt today, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. The red rope on his wrist was swaying, making people dizzy.
Qiao Zhuo closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his sleeves had slipped down, covering the red spot.
"Boss Qiao, please do me a favor." Tan Du stretched out his forearm under his eyelids.
"Wait a minute." Qiao Zhuo walked out and dodged back amid the deafening roar of "Bad Uncle". He rolled up his sleeves and then tied them with a small rubber band.
Tan Du smiled and said, "Did you take this from the blanket?"
Qiao Zhuo shook his head: "Yueyue Pocket."
"The kid will hate me later."
"No, they only hate me." Qiao Zhuoyi said.
Tan Du glanced at him and said, "They like you very much."
Qiao Zhuoyi didn't say anything, but leaned against the edge of the stage and watched his movements.
Hey, it turns out that the vegetables still need to be cut.
Oh, you can’t have the yellow leaves.
Wow, there is so much mud.
So the dish he just had was "stir-fried vegetables".
Seeing him staring intently, Tan Du raised his eyebrows and said, "Boss Qiao? What's the problem?"
"No," Qiao Zhuo looked away, "Boss Tan looks quite experienced."
"I do it myself when I get home at night." Tan Duhui.
Qiao Zhuo turned his neck and said, "What a leisurely mood."
Tan Du glanced at him and said, "It's just to fill my stomach. Now put it in the pot, be careful with the oil."
Qiao Zhuo leaned towards the door and leaned out to warn: "You two, stop messing with the blanket."
Qin Yue, who was about to put the fifth bow sticker on the blanket, withdrew her hand: "Oh——"
Qin Le covered his mouth and laughed secretly, but his sister glared at him and he puffed up his cheeks angrily.
"Boss Qiao." Tan Du shouted.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Zhuo walked over.
"Salt and soy sauce, to taste."
Moderation is the most difficult word to grasp in Chinese cuisine.
Qiao Zhuoyi took the seasoning jar and sprinkled it into the pot, adding a spoonful, feeling that he could use a little more.
Tan Du put his hand on his wrist and laughed, "That's enough, Boss Qiao. I'm the only one here who has no sense of taste."
Qiao Zhuo dodged and asked, "How much soy sauce is appropriate?"
"One spoonful," Tan Du covered the lid, "OK, just simmer it."
"Um."
Tan Du wiped his hands and leaned against the sink with him, his fingers resting on the edge of the marble, his white and slender fingers.
Qiao Zhuoyi folded his arms and pinched his palms with his fingers: "Is your sense of taste innate?"
"The day after tomorrow." Tan Duhui.
Just three words, nothing else.
Qiao Zhuo didn't ask any more questions.
After waiting for a while, Tan Du opened the lid and scooped a spoonful of soup: "Try it."
Qiao Zhuoyi took it and tasted it, his eyes widening slightly.
"Not tasty?"
Super delicious.
Qiao Zhuo lowered his eyes: "Not bad."
"Well," Tan Du turned on the high heat to reduce the sauce, and after serving it out, he said, "Mission accomplished, I'm leaving now."
"You don't want to eat?" Qiao Zhuo asked.
"I've eaten." Tan Du replied.
When Qiao Zhuo looked at him, his eyes were clearly full of suspicion.
Tan Du rubbed the tip of his nose.
Qiao Zhuo opened the kitchen door and said, "Yueyue, Lele, come here."
The two children came over and asked, "Can we eat now?"
"It's almost there." Qiao Zhuo rubbed their heads and said, "Uncle is asking you, is it right to lie?"
"No!" Qin Le shook his head.
"Children can't lie! Adults can't lie either!" Qin Yue replied word by word.
Qiao Zhuo smiled and said, "What should I do if I lie?"
Qin Yue stretched out her little hand: "Hit the palm!"
Qin Le touched his butt: "Spank!"
"Great! Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Qiao Zhuo walked over to serve the dishes and glanced at the people. "Which one do you choose, Boss Tan?"
Boss Tan smiled and chose to eat between being spanked and being slapped on the palm.
The child took lying to the extreme, praising the food during the meal and criticizing his uncle's masterpiece while waving his little hands at his nose.
"My uncle made this, it stinks!"
"Don't talk while eating." Qiao Zhuo frowned.
"Yueyue has finished eating!"
"LeLe has finished eating too!"
Qiao Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Go play."
"I'm done eating too." Tan Du put down his chopsticks.
Qiao Zhuo took a look and said, "Not even the two of them eat as much."
Tan Du smiled and said, "That's enough. By the way, the market will only last three days, so the things on the third floor can be moved out the day after tomorrow."
"Yeah." Qiao Zhuo picked up the remaining meat.
"rent……"
"Exchange," Qiao Zhuoyi interrupted him, "Before they leave, could you please ask Mr. Tan to help cook for them? One week at most. If the exchange is not enough, I'll pay extra."
He didn't leave any room for hesitation, fearing that people would refuse, and kept staring at the rice in the bowl.
After waiting for a while without hearing a reply, he looked up. Tan Du was looking at him with his chin propped up, smiling and saying, "I got the better deal in this deal."
"Aren't you tired?" Qiao Zhuoyi mixed the rice with the soup.
"What?"
Qiao Zhuo finished his last bite and threw down his chopsticks: "I wear a mask every day."
Tan Du ran his finger across his face: "Really?"
People who pretend to be asleep are just like people who pretend to be cool, and neither can be woken up.
Qiao Zhuo waved his hand: "No thanks."
Tan Du stood up, said goodbye to the two children and the dog, and told them to call back if they wanted anything for dinner, except French fries and hamburgers.
After dinner, the child felt sleepy and leaned towards Qiao Zhuo.
Children are angels when they are asleep.
Qiao Zhuoyi couldn't help but take two photos, then took the iPad beside him and drew two Q-version figures, which were very different from the style of his usual tattoos.
“This is Yueyue!”
“This is Lele!”
After waking up, the two children called Qiao Yuyi on video to show off the new portrait.
Qiao Yuyi said bluntly, "Qiao Zhuoyi, I want one too."
"Five thousand."
Qiao Zhuoyi was calling Zhao Feifan's father and reported the compensation amount promptly.
Father Zhao's voice was tired and weak: "Give me the account number."
When Qiao Zhuo heard someone talking about "name" and "disappearance time", he frowned and asked, "Zhao Feifan is missing?"
"It's none of your business," Zhao's father replied, "Don't worry, I'll transfer the money to you in a moment."
Qiao Zhuoyi suddenly thought of the figure in the hotel that day and called again, but the other party hung up. After repeating this three times, Boss Qiao received 5,000 yuan in his account and was happily blocked.
"Depend on!"
Two pairs of innocent eyes looked over, and Qiao Zhuoyi almost bit his tongue: "...Roasted, roasted chicken legs, want some?"
"Eat——" the children said in unison.
"Qiao Zhuoyi——" Qiao Yuyi shouted.
Qiao Zhuoyi took the phone watch and said, "Don't worry, I didn't buy it from outside. Someone made it."
"Anyone?"
"It's Uncle Tan—"
Qiao Zhuo hung up the phone in an instant.
Uncle Tan received the order and came over on time to cook the second meal. He completely captured the three people and the dog and became the greatest existence in the world.
Qiao Zhuoyi entered the kitchen and whispered, "Are you in a hurry to go home?"
"Hmm?" Tan Du replied, "Boss Qiao, is there anything?"
"I have to go downtown..."
"Let's go too!"
The two little ones came behind him without knowing when, and immediately hugged his thighs when they heard what he said.
Qiao Zhuo was helpless.
Tan Du wiped his hands and said, "I live in the city. You go do your business later, and they'll wait in my car."
"...Alright."
It was inconvenient to drive two cars, so Qiao Zhuoyi simply got into Tan Du's car and prepared to call a taxi back later.
"Where are we going?" Tan Du asked.
As soon as Qiao Zhuo announced the name of the hotel, Tan Du glanced at him.
"Zhao Feifan..." Qiao Zhuoyi told him what happened.
"Are you sure it's him?"
"Not sure," Qiao Zhuo replied, "Let's go check it out first."
When they arrived at the hotel parking lot, Tan Du grabbed him and said, "I'll go with you."
"No need." Qiao Zhuoyi refused.
"If it's really him, you can use my phone to message his dad, otherwise you can't explain it."
Qiao Zhuo looked at him and said, "There's no need for you to get involved in this mess."
Tan Du touched his face and said, "Isn't this mask meant to represent a helpful person?"
Qiao Zhuo curled his lips and gave Zhao's father's number to him to save.
Tan Du used his diamond membership to book a room, asked the staff to look after the child, and then the two of them went straight to the 16th floor.
I knocked on the door for a long time but got no response.
"Maybe he has checked out?" Tan Du asked.
Qiao Zhuo glanced at the crack in the door and saw light leaking out from below. He was about to knock again, but Tan Du stopped him and said softly, "Mr. Zhao, I've brought you some fruit."
The light under the door flickered, the two looked at each other, and Qiao Zhuoyi hid behind the wall.
The person inside was very cautious, opened the door only a crack, and asked quietly, "Where's the fruit?"
As soon as Qiao Zhuo heard the voice, he winked at Tan Du, who immediately grabbed the child's wrist and pushed open the door to enter the room.
"Who are you?!" Zhao Feifan shook his hands vigorously.
As soon as Qiao Zhuo walked in, he said, "Zhao Feifan!"
Zhao Feifan struggled even harder when he saw him. Qiao Zhuoyi went over and restrained him: "Tan Du, call his dad."
"It hurts, it hurts!" Zhao Feifan shouted, "Help!"
"Xiao Fan! Is that Xiao Fan?" Zhao's father shouted on the phone, "Who are you? Don't touch my son!"
Qiao Zhuo's face turned pale: "Shut up!"
Tan Du went into the bathroom to explain to the person, but he forgot that this person couldn't understand what he was saying, so he had to tell the address and let the person come over to see it himself.
After hanging up the phone, there was a sudden bang outside.
He rushed out immediately. Qiao Zhuo leaned against the wall, covering his arms with his hands, and cold sweat kept dripping down his temples.
"Are you hurt?" Tan Du supported him.
"It's okay," Qiao Zhuo gritted his teeth, "Turn left, there's the swimming pool, hurry, hurry and chase them!"
