Chapter 410: Aunt Hong
When the other party got closer, Liu Jingxin realized that the woman should be quite old, and she may be in the transition stage from middle age to old age. The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and the nasolabial folds on her face were so heavy when she laughed that even if she didn't frown, she could see the shallow wrinkles on her forehead, and she was supposed to have dyed her hair, but she could still see that a lot of it was white at the roots. "Aunt Hong!" Arza stepped forward with a smile, opened his arms and hugged the woman shallowly, and then introduced sideways: "I brought two friends over today, this is called Lin Jie, this is called Liu Jingxin, they are in your country, but what about the big stars, you should know each other, right?"
Aunt Hong said with a little embarrassment: "I've been here for twenty or thirty years, and I don't pay much attention to those, so I'm sorry." ”
Arza immediately changed the topic and introduced to Liu Jingxin and Lin Jie: "This is Aunt Hong, the owner of this restaurant, and a very kind person." ”
Liu Jingxin and Lin Jie bowed their heads slightly to say hello to Aunt Hong, and Aunt Hong enthusiastically asked if the three of them needed to go to the private room on the second floor.
The three of them discussed it for a while, and they all felt that it would be awkward for only three people to occupy a private room, so they decided to sit in the hall on the first floor.
Aunt Hong led the three to a square table away from the other guests and handed them a menu.
Arza directly pushed the menu to Lin Jie, Lin Jie opened the menu and looked at it, and then gave the menu to Liu Jingxin.
Liu Jingxin doesn't like ordering food very much, he thinks ordering food is a very troublesome thing, so he likes buffets and hot pot. But he also knew that the reason why Lin Jie asked him to order food was out of good intentions, because he wanted him to order more dishes he liked, so he naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only bury his head in hard research.
After reading the menu, Liu Jingxin really feels that the name of this restaurant is very appropriate, here are really some ordinary home-cooked stir-fries, although the price of the dishes is more than two or three times that of China, but to have the opportunity to eat the taste of hometown in this exotic land, I believe that any wanderer will not be too expensive, right?
Liu Jingxin ordered two grasses, a braised pork ribs, a sweet and sour shredded potatoes, and Lin Jie ordered scrambled eggs with leeks and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Seeing that the two of them were so plain, Arza was a little unhappy: "You don't have to think about saving money, order more!"
Lin Jie returned the menu to Aunt Hong, and said to Aunt Hong with a smile: "Just order so much, I'm sorry for you." ”
"Okay. Aunt Hong took away the menu, then turned around and went to the back kitchen.
Lin Jie then explained to Arza: "Seriously, Arza, I've been out for more than half a year, and I often eat big fish and meat, but what really makes me miss is these simple little stir-fried dishes!"
Arza nodded thoughtfully, then stretched out a finger and smiled, "I know, it's the taste of home, right?"
"That's right. ”
Except for the braised pork ribs, the other three dishes were very simple, and they were the three best-selling dishes in the restaurant, so they were served very quickly, and at the same time, a wooden barrel filled with rice and three empty bowls were served.
Liu Jingxin stuffed a bowl of rice with anticipation, grabbed chopsticks and tasted a bite of shredded potatoes, savoring the wonderful taste of sweet and sour, sweet and a little spicy, chewing lightly and savoring carefully.
Yes, it's a domestic taste, Arza is right, it's very authentic.
But after eating a bite of rice, Liu Jingxin frowned slightly.
The taste and texture of the rice are slightly different from domestic rice, and I don't know if it is because it has been stored for a long time or because the rice varieties are different.
But in any case, these dishes were very good, and they didn't eat when they went out in the morning, they were very hungry, and they didn't have time to wait for the braised pork ribs, so they ate a bowl of rice in a big gulp.
When Aunt Hong brought the braised pork ribs over, she looked at the three dishes and a bucket of rice that had almost been eaten, and was startled: "Am I slow to serve this dish?"
Arza laughed and pointed at Lin Jie and Liu Jingxin: "Aunt Hong, it's they who eat too fast!"
Lin Jie seemed to be very interested in Aunt Hong, so he moved inside and gave up a place: "Aunt Hong, if you are not busy, can we sit down and talk for a while?"
Aunt Hong looked around and saw that the guests at the other tables didn't seem to have to settle the bill and leave for the time being, so she nodded and sat next to Lin Jie.
Lin Jie asked, "Aunt Hong, you said that you have been here for twenty or thirty years, why did you choose to come here to open such a restaurant?"
There are a large number of Chinese people all over the world, and no matter where you open a Chinese restaurant, you will definitely have a good business. There are so many countries to choose from, and Lin Jie really doesn't understand why Aunt Hong chose such a dangerous country.
This simple question seemed to arouse Aunt Hong's sadness, her eyes were obviously red, and there were faint tears in her eyes.
"Alas!" Aunt Hong sighed heavily and began her story.
It turned out that her son used to be a foreign employee of Zhongzitou, and more than 20 years ago, his son suffered an accident here and died in a very large fire, and his body was not even found.
Since then, Aunt Hong and her wife have opened a restaurant here, and she thinks that this will be closer to the child, so that the child will not become a lonely ghost in a foreign land, and there will be no place to stay.
Liu Jingxin and the others felt sour after listening to Aunt Hong's story.
Lin Jie couldn't help but ask, "Then aren't you going to go back?"
Aunt Hong nodded and said, "Yes, what are you going back for? Where there are people is home, if we go back, my child will have no home." ”
This heavy topic made each of them feel very heavy, Lin Jie originally had a lot of things to ask Aunt Hong, but now he couldn't ask a word anymore, the four of them surrounded the sides of the table, looking at the food on the table, and fell into an awkward silence.
Aunt Hong is very strong, obviously it was her misfortune, but she was the first to recover. She broke the silence first and asked, "Tell me about you, why did you come to A, is it also for work?"
Lin Jie shook his head and said, "No, we just want to come here to have a look." ”
Aunt Hong was stunned when she heard this: "You are here to travel?"
Lin Jie thought about it, and seemed to feel that other explanations were not clear, so he simply nodded and said, "Sort of." ”
Aunt Hong suddenly became anxious: "I really can't understand you young people more and more, the environment in the country is so good, you don't stay well, why do you have to come to this place? If something happens, what will happen to your parents at home?"
