Chapter 199: Crazy hints, so spoiled
Shen Chuwei expressed doubt, "Why do you say that?"
Wei Chi said, "Because you two look alike. If you weren't related, would His Highness take such good care of you? And with your physique, you can't meet the guards, except through the back door."
Shen Chu was stunned for a moment, and felt that what Wei Chi said made some sense.
The practice of relatives using backdoors has existed throughout history.
Wei Chi asked again: "You are my younger brother, right?"
Shen Chuwei didn't understand, because the boots she was wearing had insoles and added more than five centimeters of height.
"Why do you think I'm your brother?"
"Look at your face, which looks like it could squeeze water out of it." Wei Chi looked at her face and then her height, shaking his head, "With this height, I don't think it's possible for me to be your brother."
Shen Chuwei: "..." Five centimeters of white padding...
When we arrived at the back kitchen of the restaurant, the chef was still busy.
Wei Chi followed Shen Chuwei over and found that it was the kitchen. He grabbed Shen Chuwei's shoulders and asked, "What are you doing in the kitchen?"
"Your Highness didn't eat much for dinner, so he must be hungry tonight. I'll cook some food for him." As Shen Chuwei spoke, she walked to the vacant stove.
As soon as she approached, a man walked up to Shen Chuwei and tried to stop her, "This is the kitchen, anyone who is idle please get out."
Shen Chu raised his head slightly and looked at the man in front of him. The man was a little fat, about forty years old, probably a cook in the kitchen, and his face was a little greasy.
She stated her purpose directly, "I want to borrow this stove to cook."
The fat man said unhappily, "If you want to eat, just order the food and the chef will make it for you."
"The food you cooked doesn't suit my master's taste. I am familiar with my master's taste, ingredients, and firewood..." Shen Chuwei pulled Wei Chi over and pointed at him: "He pays."
Wei Chi was stunned at first, but then he reacted and said with his chest straightened: "I'll pay."
The fat man was a cook himself, and when he heard that a customer didn’t like the food they cooked, he immediately became unhappy.
"It's not my decision. Go find the shopkeeper."
"I'll go get the shopkeeper." Wei Chi said, turning around and walking away.
The fat man looked Shen Chuwei up and down. He knew at first glance that she was a spoiled young man because of her thin figure. There was a look of disdain in his eyes.
“Can you cook?”
Shen Chu nodded, "A little bit."
The fat man's tone was full of sarcasm. "You? Can you flip the spoon and wok with one hand?"
Shen Chuwei said, "I only know how to cook."
At this time, Wei Chi came over with the shopkeeper.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round, let alone just borrowing an unused stove?
The shopkeeper came over and spoke, and the fat man didn't know what to say.
He glanced at Shen Chuwei's short stature and snorted, "You're not even as tall as the stove, how can you cook?"
"Just shut up." Wei Chi raised his fist, as if he would hit the fat man in the face in the next second.
The shopkeeper was shocked. The fat man was the gold medal chef in the restaurant. If he was beaten, it would cause a huge loss. He hurried forward to stop him.
"Sir, calm down. Sir, calm down."
Wei Chi glared at the fat man and snorted.
The fat man was also startled.
Here, Shen Chuwei brought a small stool, lifted her feet and stood on it, and in an instant she was almost as tall as Wei Chi.
Wei Chi is 186cm tall and is not thin, but rather a bit burly.
"It doesn't matter if you're short. What's important is that you're smart." Chunxi hummed complacently and prepared the ingredients that would be used later.
This is not the first time that Shen Chuwei and Chunxi have worked together, and they can be said to have a pretty good understanding of each other.
When he flips the wok or stirs the pot, he does it smoothly and skillfully, just like a gold medal chef who has been working in the kitchen for ten years.
The fat man was stunned.
In just a cup of tea, two dishes and a soup are ready.
Shen Chuwei carried the steaming hot meal and walked calmly past the fat man, leaving only the aroma of the meal behind.
The fat man smelled the aroma of the food and swallowed his saliva.
The shopkeeper smelled the fragrance of the food and thought that if the food in the restaurant could smell as good as this, it would surely be a huge hit.
He asked the fat man, "Fatty, that young man is a good cook. He can make the food so delicious with simple ingredients. You just watched him cook. Can you learn from him?"
The fat man nodded and said, "I'll try."
"Okay, let's try it." The shopkeeper rubbed his hands, his eyes full of anticipation.
The fat man remade the two dishes and one soup that Shen Chuwei had just made.
The shopkeeper tasted it himself and shook his head in disappointment, "The aroma is wrong, the taste is no different from before."
The fat man frowned, looking depressed. He was clearly following his method, so why was it different?
While Xiao Jinyan was drinking tea, he saw that Shen Chuwei had gone out and had not returned yet. He frowned, thinking that she had gone out to eat secretly again?
This is not a temple, so you don't have to eat in secret.
He stood up and opened the door, only to see Qin Xiao standing at the door. "Where is Xiaojiu?"
Xiaojiu knew without any explanation that it was Brother Shen.
"Brother Shen left with Wei Chi."
At this time, Shen Chuwei came over with food in her hand, smiling, "Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan saw Shen Chuwei holding a dish with steam coming out of it, and knew at a glance that it was freshly cooked.
"Have you been to the kitchen to cook?"
"Well, Your Highness, let's go in first and eat while it's hot." Shen Chuwei said as she walked in with the food.
Xiao Jinyan turned around to look at Shen Chuwei's back, closed the door, and turned in.
Wei Chi glanced at the closed door and said, "Brother Shen's cooking smells so good."
"He cooked it himself?" Qin Xiao was a little surprised. The food next to him also smelled good, even better than the food in the restaurant.
Wei Chi answered affirmatively, "Of course, I saw it with my own eyes, and it is no worse than a gold medal chef."
Qin Xiao said: "It seems that Brother Shen also has a special skill."
Wei Chi nodded in agreement.

Xiao Jinyan looked at the two dishes and one soup in front of him. The dishes were simple and home-cooked. Even though he hadn't eaten them yet, he knew they would taste good.
He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei across from him, "You went out just to make dinner for me?"
Shen Chu nodded, "Yeah, I'll feel hungry if I don't eat for a meal, and being hungry will affect my sleep at night, so it's better to eat a full meal."
Because she herself cannot sleep at night if she doesn’t eat enough.
No one has ever treated him like this before, and Shen Chuwei's behavior made him feel a little unreal.
He risked his life to save him twice, and now he was worried that he was hungry, so he went out to cook dinner for him himself.
Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei and saw complicated emotions in her eyes.
Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks, Shen Chuwei reminded him, "Your Highness, eat it while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Hmm." Xiao Jinyan picked up the chopsticks, picked up some dishes, put them into his mouth and chewed them slowly. The taste was much better than that in the restaurant.
While Xiao Jinyan was eating, Shen Chuwei stood up, walked to the window, and looked outside.
Below the restaurant is a street, and at nightfall, red lanterns are lit on both sides of the street.
There should be some special snacks sold on the street, right?
