Chapter 252: Birthday
There is a quaint door face in Zhengyang Market on Qianmen West Street, called Zhimei Building.
In the past, one of the eight buildings in the capital was originally famous for the flavor of Gusu, and after the Qianlong Emperor's imperial dining room chef Jing Qi joined, it began to improve by leaps and bounds, and was known as "the set of northern and southern cooking as a table".
At the beginning of the Republic of China, Zhimeizhai declined for a time. The three Qilu people took the opportunity to buy it, and they added Lu cuisine skills......
In the evening, a bus stopped nearby. Chen Xiaoxu jumped down with her schoolbag on her back, sweating, and the key was embarrassing, everyone knew her.
This schoolbag is specially made, one shoulder, adjustable length, dark blue cloth, the inside is divided, and the bottom corner is embroidered with a small flower hand-painted by Zhang Li.
The style is just a little fresh.
She entered the Zhimei Building and found a private room. Zhang Li, Deng Jie, Zhang Guoli, Shen Lin, Wu Xiaodong, Hu Zehong and others are all there, Zhang Guiqin is old and has not been mixed.
"Yo, college students are out of school!"
Hu Zehong shouted and hugged him, "I want to kill you!"
"Didn't you just see me a while ago?"
"It's been seven days, seven days!"
Hu Zehong is not filming, he is much more mellow than before, and pointed to everyone and said: "You too, you can't see the panic in your heart, it's like I'm alone, and when I see it, I will have the bottom!"
"Don't be poor, have you ordered?"
"If the birthday star doesn't come, how dare we order. ”
"Then I'll take a look at ......"
Xiao Xu opened the recipe and said with a smile: "One live fish to eat, one braised oven baked cake, and one radish shredded cake." Okay, you guys order. ”
"Heroic!"
Hu Zehong and Deng Jie grabbed the recipe, "Kung Pao shrimp balls!"
"Scorched pork slices!"
"Braised lion's head!"
"Hey, what is a hundred birds and a phoenix?"
"Tender chicken and pork leg meat, dumplings are pinched into the shape of a bird, placed around the chicken, it is called a hundred birds and a phoenix. However, it is necessary to book in advance, which is very labor-intensive. ”
"How long does it take?"
"Three or four hours. ”
"Come on, I'll pack it!" Hu Zehong waved his hand.
Zhang Li stopped doing it and said, "What are you doing? Isn't it bullying our Xiaoxu? Waiters, don't listen to them." ”
"She said to order it casually, and use you to feel distressed?"
Several people complained together, but they didn't insist on calling the hundred birds to the phoenix, and ordered a few dishes casually.
Zhang Li silently calculated, plus wine, this meal cost more than 100 yuan.
Everyone was very happy, but Zhang Guoli was uncomfortable, even a little frightened, and said in a low voice: "Is it Xiao Xu's treat?"
"That's right. ”
"She, she's earning a lot now?"
"It's not high, but it's generous...... Huh?"
At the mention of income, Deng Jie remembered something and said, "By the way, a music producer came to me a while ago and said that he was selling tapes. He means to find a few more, a large platter, a thousand dollars per person, will you go?"
"I can do it, I can do it!" Wu Xiaodong hurriedly raised his hand.
"Don't be a man!"
"Then I'd like to try. Shen Lin said.
"Okay, there's one of you. ”
"I'll forget it, I can't sing well. Zhang Li said with a smile.
"I'll forget it. Hu Zehong shook his head.
"I can, you can call me then. Xiao Xu said.
"Cheng, then let's do it!"
Deng Jie set a business in a few words, and became a popular star. Zhang Guoli became more and more depressed, his reputation was much higher than his own, and his employment opportunities were also leveraged.
After chatting for a while, the meals were served one after another, and the most conspicuous thing was to eat live fish.
Braised fish head, sweet and sour tiles, middle of sauce and sloppy fish fillet. Needless to say, the sweet and sour tiles are square fillets, which are sweet and delicious. In the middle of the sauce, the meat is thick, and the color is bright and the flavor is rich.
There is also a bowl of fish offal soup.
Now it's like this, but later it was changed and the sauce was changed to dry frying.
Hu Zehong licked his lips and asked, "Shall we wait for Teacher Xu?"
"Eat, wait while you eat. Xiao Xu said.
"Well, he should be soon, too. Zhang Li said.
So, everyone started to build.
Chen Xiaoxu sandwiched a piece of dregs fish fillet, tasted it decently, and commented: "This fish is not successful, it is not dace." ”
Poof!
Zhang Li was happy, and others asked stupidly: "What kind of fish is dace?"
"Offshore fish, from the Tsumen side. After the beginning of autumn, before the beginning of winter, catch a catty and a half of dace. This is not good. ”
Wow!
The friends were amazed, going to college was really extraordinary.
Sister Bao laughed at the internal injuries and twisted her face again.
These people usually have certain living conditions, but they don't often go to big restaurants, and they eat happily. Xiao Xu is the most annoying to socialize, but they are all revolutionary comrades-in-arms, and he is happy in his heart, and he rarely drinks some beer.
Authentic Shuanghesheng five-star beer.
I think a few years ago, ordinary people were still drinking loose beer, and loose beer was the same as loose wine. Tanker loading, holding a thermos, bucket, and glass to beat.
12 degrees, 4 cents a liter.
Now that the bottle of beer is up, the boundary of the capital is five-star beer and the old white label, Yanjing is still a grandson, and a bottle is also four or five cents.
"Why hasn't Teacher Xu come yet?"
"It's seven o'clock, and the meeting is so late?"
"Leave him alone, come and ......"
Deng Jie filled a cup, got up and said, "Today is Xiao Xu's birthday, and everyone is counted, oh, it's not counted." Anyway, I'm very happy, I crawled out of a trench, I haven't forgotten it for several years, let's toast Xiaoxu!"
"Pour it up, pour it all up!"
"Dang!"
A group of people touched it and were very emotional.
"Ouch, our training in the Old Summer Palace is just like yesterday, it's been four years. ”
"It's going to be five years! It's going to be ten years in the blink of an eye!"
"It's really a different world, and there are a few more in the capital. Hey, Qingwen went abroad, right?"
"I went to Japan, and Ouyang also went to college. ”
Zhang Li kept looking at the watch, and the hands seemed to be turning very fast, blinking at eight o'clock. Chen Xiaoxu didn't fluctuate, he still pursed his lips and smiled, everyone continued to talk, and he didn't drink heavily.
"Teacher Xu is so slow, the dishes are gone. ”
"If you don't want it again, we'll see him eat alone!"
"Haha, that's a good dare!"
The table started at six o'clock, ate for more than an hour, chatted for more than an hour, and really couldn't sit still at nine o'clock.
"It's over, Teacher Xu may have stumbled. ”
"yes, after all, they're all busy for the Asian Games. ”
"It's not authentic, I don't come for my birthday. ”
"I just don't care, even if it's a little ......"
Hu Zehong was halfway through speaking, but was kicked by Deng Jie and hurriedly shut up.
Even if everyone didn't pay attention at first, now they have reacted, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle and extremely quiet. Xiao Xu wondered, "What's wrong?
"Eat well, eat well. ”
"It's not too early, let's withdraw!"
"Hmm. ”
She saw that there were still two radish cakes left, so she asked the waiter to wrap them, stuffed them into her schoolbag casually, and said with a smile: "I'm very happy that you can come, and I can't help it if I don't eat well." If you still have a birthday later, you will eat that meal again. ”
Everyone should be reconciled, break up the game, and go home separately.
Wu Xiaodong carried Shen Lin, and the two of them each rode one, quietly all the way. When he returned to Baihua Hutong, Zhang Guiqin was watching TV in the house by himself, and someone was still nowhere to be seen.
One dialed into the east chamber, and the other dialed into the west chamber.
The weather at the end of October was already very cool, but Zhang Li loved the heat and sweated even more when she rode the bike.
She boiled a kettle of water, stripped off her underwear, and wiped it with a towel. Chen Xiaoxu sat at the newly bought desk and continued to do advertising work.
“......”
Zhang Li looked at it again and again, and couldn't help but call: "Xiao Xu?"
"What's wrong?"
"Do you want to burn your feet? ”
"Okay. ”
After fetching water, Chen Xiaoxu took off his socks, and his two little feet slowly stretched into the basin, and the hot water was hot, painful and comfortable.
"Forty kilometers a day, I can catch up with the Red Army's Long March in four years, and I admire myself. ”
She closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair, very comfortable, and opened it again after a while, "Give me the schoolbag, I'm a little hungry." ”
"Hungry just after eating?"
"I eat a lot. ”
Sister Bao was speechless and handed over the schoolbag.
When she touched her hand, it was full of oil, and she suddenly screamed, and hurriedly turned out the inside, but it was the radish cake that fell out.
"Yikes!"
Zhang Li hurriedly came over, "This material is not easy to get, you have to rub it with soap a little bit, I'll wash it for you." ”
"I'll make it myself, you hot cakes. ”
"Still eating?"
"I'm hungry. ”
No way, Zhang Li went to the kitchen to hot cakes.
Chen Xiaoxu soaked his feet, held his schoolbag in his arms, wiped it with soap first, and then rubbed it vigorously with his hands. The inside is slippery, difficult to get, and the oil is very tenacious.
“......”
There was no one in the room, only she hung her head, and rubbed very seriously by the dim lamp.
Rub a few times, wipe your eyes, rub a few times, wipe your eyes again.
............
"Boom!"
Approaching midnight, the old man pushed the cart and made a familiar sound.
Everyone went to bed early, and the courtyard was lit with red lanterns, revealing a faint light. Xu Fei had just come back from Cheng Dong's house, and the broken yard on the edge of the Third Ring Road was a big place.
A group of people collided passionately, chatting and flying, hungry and uneaten, rummaging through the cabinet and finding a basket of potatoes, and continuing to chat.
He ate two large potatoes and refilled a pot of water, and almost died of swelling.
Xu Fei saw that it was dark in the West House, so he didn't bother, and was about to go inside, when he was shaken by something - but it was a schoolbag hanging on a rope, and a small piece was wet inside.
He took a look, went into the study, turned on the light to make tea, and continued his evening work.
The book of "Longing for Sixteen Years" is tentatively set for fifty episodes, Li Xiaoming writes the middle and first paragraphs, he writes the second paragraph, and there is only Liu Huifang's line.
After her divorce, how to live, and finally give an ending.
Xu Fei is physically disgusting and bitter, especially for the sake of suffering, his Liu Huifang has naturally changed, but it will not be too exaggerated.
In short, there is no need to be a mother, a nanny, or a bed warmer for Wang Husheng.
"Hoo ......"
In the dead of night, it was a time of inspiration, but now it is extremely difficult. Xu Fei wrote a few paragraphs, but he felt confused and couldn't calm down.
If you have a birthday in the future and can't go if you have something to do, you can make a phone call, send a WeChat, or even a video. At this time, if you can't go, you can't go, and you can't even tell me.
I thought it was a very common thing, but when I missed it, I realized that it was actually very important.
Xu Fei dried a jar of tea, got up and looked out the window, and sat down again.
After a while, he sighed, picked up a thing on the table, and walked to the courtyard.
......
The next day, early in the morning.
Zhang Li was woken up by the sound of small fragments, opened her eyes lazily, and saw Xiao Xu sitting on the edge of the bed and dressing.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost six o'clock. ”
"Leaving so early? ”
"I'm in good spirits today, I can't sleep. ”
Chen Xiaoxu, who hadn't slept much all night, patted the quilt and said with a smile: "You lie down for a while, I'll go first." ”
She went out with her books in her arms, and when she touched her schoolbag in the courtyard, she didn't do too much. When I took it off, I found it a little heavy, and at the end I found another thing.
“......”
She couldn't help but be stunned when she took the object, looked at the tight curtains in the study, and pursed her lips.
Then he looked at the Westinghouse and sighed softly.
