Great Single Player of the Heavens

May 2013.

London, England.

Chinatown.

The night was low, it was dinner time, and people came and went on the streets.

Whether it is a Londoner who loves Chinese food or a yellow-skinned Chinese, they are all looking around, trying to find a moment of comfort for the hungry stomach.

And in a Chinese restaurant called "Hua Ji Chinese Food", there was already a lot of people and seats.

"Half roast duck, mapo tofu, fried noodles, dry stir-fried vegetable mix... is that all? Okay, I'll place an order for you right away."

Miss waitress, who just placed an order for a table of guests, heard the call from another table not far away before handing the order to the kitchen:

"Waiter, order!"

"Okay, come right away."

With such a reply, the waitress wearing a cheongsam did not go there immediately, but hurried to the kitchen outlet and handed the order to a middle-aged man in a white chef's uniform.

After receiving the order, the man quickly glanced at the order, then he held it down with a heavy object, turned around, and shouted in Chinese to the same lively kitchen:

"Table 5, mapo tofu, fried noodles, and dried vegetables. Move faster!"

After that, he took a roast duck brought by another waitress, went to a cutting board in the kitchen, and started to deal with it.

The kitchen is not too big, but it is very patchy.

The six kitchen staff are working together in an orderly manner to complete a variety of Chinese dishes.

The middle-aged man who is dealing with roast duck is the owner and chef of this "Hua Ji Chinese Restaurant".

He is the second generation of immigrants in the 1980s. In order to inherit his father’s restaurant, he gave up the financial industry and studied cooking instead.

Since it took over in the late 1990s, it has been operating ever since and has become a highly acclaimed Chinese restaurant in Chinatown...

Put the cut half of the roast duck on the plate, and put two green broccoli as garnishes. After it was done, the boss immediately looked up at an Asian young man in a white T-shirt standing by the sink, and ordered. :

"Aqi, cut more cabbage and onions!"

"Roger that!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Asian youth picked up a slender chopper, took out a cabbage from the basket, and placed it on the cutting board in front of it.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a rapid knocking sound of "de-de-de", the chopper quickly touched and separated from the cutting board, and the cabbage was quickly turned into a cabbage of comparable thickness under the young man's neat knife wire!

The young man did not stop, but flew his fingers, turned the chopper in his hand, and took out an onion from the basket again.

In just a few minutes, he cut the seven cabbages and six onions in the basket into the desired shape...

And this vegetable chopping monster is exactly Lu Qi.

A month ago, he woke up on the cold floor in an apartment in Chinatown.

This time, the [System] was very generous, and directly arranged his identity and residence.

However, before he started to collect information to confirm which game the current world is, the landlord came to him and urged him to pay the rent.

In desperation, Lu Qi could only give the landlord a few days of grace to survive the first wave of survival crisis.

In order to make money and pay the rent, he left the apartment and wanted to find a job.

When I just came downstairs, I just saw the sign of helping the kitchen and recruiting workers at the door of "Hua Ji Chinese Restaurant" opposite.

So he came for an interview.

The restaurant owner liked this polite and handsome fellow guy very much, and, apart from anything else, he decided to hire him directly.

That's why he would chop vegetables here...

After cutting the vegetables in the basket, Lu Qi shook his hand and inserted the chopping knife in his hand on the cutting board with a sound.

"Aqi, wash the dishes!"

"Roger that!"

As a kitchen helper, his job is not only to help the chef cut and garnish, but also to clean the cutting board and countertops and wash the dishes. Basically, he has to do everything.

It wasn't until after the busy dinner time that the kitchen suddenly became idle.

At this time, the kitchen staff, who had been busy for about three hours, had time to enjoy their own dinner...

Just when Lu Qi was holding a plate of chicken rice with mushrooms and eating it was delicious, the kitchen door was pushed open, and the waiter in a cheongsam raised her eyebrows at him, jokingly saying:

"Aqi, your little girlfriend is looking for you again..."

Hearing this, Lu Qi was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, and responded in an angry manner:

"I have said it several times, she is not my girlfriend..."

He took the last bite of rice into his mouth, picked up a paper towel and wiped his mouth, then he stood up and walked out of the kitchen under the ambiguous eyes of everyone.

As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, he heard a familiar voice in his ear:

"Hey! Alex!"

Following the reputation, Lu Qi saw a young girl wearing a graffiti T-shirt and short black hair sitting at a dining table, waving her hands happily.

Smiling back, Lu Qi walked quickly to the dining table, pulled the chair away and sat down, and asked:

"Hi, Samantha, why are you here?"

Hearing Lu Qi's words, the short-haired girl blinked her eyes and gave a sweet smile, "I'm looking for you! Stop by and try my favorite Mapo tofu."

The short-haired girl in front of me is a Portuguese and Japanese hybrid named Samantha Nishimura.

She has just graduated from University College London and is now an intern documentary filmmaker.

She is the first friend Lu Qi has ever met in this world.

About half a month ago, while shopping in Chinatown, Lu Qi happened to meet Samantha who had forgotten to bring her wallet.

Lu Qi kindly assisted and paid the other party the money for the purchase.

Samantha was very grateful to him and wanted to repay him, so she asked him for his phone number.

When we met for the second time, Samantha offered to invite him to dinner. In return, Lu Qi took her to "Hua Ji", thinking that the water would not flow out of the field of outsiders.

Unexpectedly, Samantha, who had eaten Mapo tofu, immediately fell madly in love with this famous Sichuan dish.

In the next few weeks, she would come over to eat almost every few days.

Two people of similar ages soon became friends...

"Are you free tonight? My classmate is going to have a party at home. Would you like to go together?"

"Sorry, I may not be free tonight, I have to go out."

"It doesn't matter~www.wuxiahere.com~I don't want to go alone anyway..."

After chatting with Samantha for a while, the waiter brought a plate of hot Mapo tofu and put it on the table.

Seeing the food, Samantha's eyes lit up and she folded her palms, saying in Japanese:

"I'm going to start!"

After that, she immediately picked up the spoon and began to feast on it.

Seeing this mixed-blood Sakura girl eating so unrestrainedly, Lu Qi twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but persuade:

"Eat slowly, no one will grab you..."

"Mapo tofu is to be eaten like this, so it's fun!"

While putting the hot tofu into her mouth, Samantha said without forgetting:

"I really want Laura to try this dish, I think she will like it too..."
