Chapter 7 Lao Zhang's private dishes
Liu Xinghao was woken up early in the morning by the crazy snapping sound of Applejack next door, this time the girl's voice was high-pitched, moaning and moaning like a female cat calling for spring, the wheezing sound of the two gradually accelerated, as if they had entered the final sprint, and after a violent trembling, the hut finally returned to its former calm.
Liu Xinghao rubbed his nose and looked at the time, it was just past seven o'clock. It took a long time to clean the blood stains on the car last night, and now there seems to be a faint smell of blood in the nasal cavity. Sleepless, he went downstairs to buy two bowls of white porridge and hurried to the hospital parking lot, only to hear someone call his name as soon as he got out of the car.
"Liu Xinghao, long time no see. Lin Huizhen, who came to her, greeted her generously, and she was about to drive home after the night shift.
Lin Huizhen, who took off her white coat, was another different style, she changed into a royal blue skirt, and the close-fitting cut outlined the plump curves. The long hair of the shawl is casually coiled behind the head, without the pressure of glasses, the bridge of the nose seems to be much higher, and the whole body exudes a strong ladylike smell. It's just that her eyes are full of tired bloodshots, and I don't know how many surgeries she has had this night.
"Lin Huizhen ......" met many years later, and he didn't know how to greet him, after all, he lived up to her affection ten years ago.
"What's the matter, are you amazed by my beauty, do you regret it now?" she was still so aggressive, and the bright smile on her face immediately melted the old embarrassment between the two.
"It's really the eighteenth change of the women's college, why didn't you take off your glasses earlier?" Liu Xinghao scratched his head with a smile, if he could do it all over again, he wouldn't be stupid enough to let down the beauty in front of him to chase the school flower of Na Rausch no matter what.
"Back then, I didn't know that there was laser vision correction, and I wore two large glasses throughout my school life, which helped me block a lot of rotten peach blossoms. Lin Huizhen smiled meaningfully, brushed the hair in front of her forehead with her left hand, and the ring on her ring finger flashed with dazzling brilliance intentionally or unintentionally.
Liu Xinghao couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, and said in his heart: "It turns out that everyone is famous and has a master, and now he is still a single person, alas...... How can the gap between people be so big. ”
"By the way, your girlfriend's hemorrhage has stopped, fortunately it was delivered in time, and now she has been sent to ward No. 3 on the seventh floor, you go and see her, I have to go back to sleep quickly, I am sleepy." We'll talk about it next time I have time. Lin Huizhen opened the car door and sat in, bright red Mazda, enthusiastic and unrestrained, like her character.
"She's not my ......" Liu Xinghao still wanted to explain, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back, people are now married to women, what is the need to explain? Fate is to meet the right person at the right time, I can't run away that belongs to me, I can't keep it if I don't belong to me, I can't keep it if I grab it, this is fate.
Lin Huizhen, who was sitting in the Mazda, watched Liu Xinghao pick up the white porridge and walk quickly towards the seventh floor, silently took off the ring and put it back on her tail finger, her mood was as complicated as a mess.
…………
The corridor on the seventh floor was empty, and the quarrel between a man and a woman, although the sound was muffled, was still very harsh.
"I almost died last night, and you didn't even come until now. ”
"I'm sorry, I couldn't get out of my way last night. ”
"You'll be busy with your work, and I'll always be second in your heart!"
"Xiao Xia, why don't I want to accompany you every day, I ......"
"Knock knock knock. The knock on the door interrupted the quarrel between the two, and the man opened the door of the room, looked Liu Xinghao up and down vigilantly, and said coldly: "Who are you looking for?"
Liu Xinghao heard the middle-aged man's voice and sighed in his heart, isn't this the man who hung up the phone last night? He looks at least in his forties, and he is actually the husband of a girl in his twenties?
"Big brother, please come in. Xiao Xia recognized Liu Xinghao at a glance and greeted him warmly. "This is my savior. ”
The middle-aged man instantly changed his enthusiastic face, and flashed to let Liu Xinghao in: "You saved Xiao Xia, please come in!"
Liu Xinghao put the porridge on the bedside table, "I guess you should be hungry too, so I brought you some white porridge." ”
"Big brother, you are so careful, I'm really hungry. Xiao Xia took the white porridge, picked up the spoon and was about to drink it, when he suddenly smiled and said, "Big brother, look at how greedy I am, I don't know your honorable name?"
"What's disrespectful, my name is Liu Xinghao, we all live in the same building, and if you don't look up and look down in the future, you can call me Brother Liu." ”
"Brother Liu, my name is Xia Yuchen. The girl smiled with a sunny face and showed two lovely dimples, and her white and red face returned to some blood, and her complexion looked much better. Such a cute and innocent girl actually followed an old man in his forties, it was really a good cabbage called a pig arch.
"Okay, I'm relieved that someone will take care of you. You have a good rest, I'm still a little ahead of schedule. Liu Xinghao turned around and walked out of the room, and the middle-aged man behind him also followed.
"Xiao Liu, thank you so much last night, I sent Xiao Xia to the hospital again, and I paid the surgery fee, here is a little meaning, not a respect, please be sure to accept it." The middle-aged man took out a thick envelope and stuffed it into Liu Xinghao's hand.
Liu Xinghao knew that the money in the envelope was definitely not less than 10,000 yuan, this middle-aged man looked average, and he was quite generous, and it was not strange to hook such a tender school flower beauty as Xia Yuchen, the current society is too realistic.
…………
Driving out of the hospital is not idle, Liu Xinghao has taken up almost 60 orders of business all day, and now there are more and more customers who use tuk-tuk to hail a car, the development of the city is getting faster and faster, and the progress of science and technology is becoming more and more people-oriented. The original taxi industry has been controlled by some vested interests, with high entry barriers, large gray space, and service and convenience that have long been unable to keep up with the pace of the times.
In the early years, a taxi account was often sold for a high price of 450,000 yuan, and when the speculation was at its highest, some people were even willing to pay 700,000 yuan to buy an old Poussin that was about to be scrapped, in order to obtain the operating qualification certificate of the taxi. Now that it has been squeezed by online ride-hailing software such as Dudu, the taxi industry has become a vulnerable group. It is common to see on the news that a certain taxi company is striking to protest or something, but in fact, it is useless for you to protest again! The eyes of the masses are clear, and the common people will naturally vote with their feet if the service is good, the taxi is convenient, and the price is fair. This is the law of nature, irreversible.
It was almost seven o'clock in the evening, and Liu Xinghao touched the empty Five Organs Temple, and he had to have a good meal to comfort himself. He drove the car to the door of the food stall he frequented, which was opened at the intersection of Taoli Lane, the door was not big, and there was not even a decent signboard, it was a fly restaurant converted from his own house. The light box at the door lit up early to attract guests, with five big words written on it, "Lao Zhang's private dishes".
Lao Zhang's family of three is all busy in the store, Lao Zhang is the chef, Zhang's sister-in-law is responsible for cutting vegetables and side dishes, and Zhang Xiaoyu, the only daughter of the family, is the runner who passes on vegetables and collects money. An ordinary family works hard in this Jiangzhou city, not seeking glory and wealth, but only peace and joy.
Although the old Zhang's store is not big, but his dishes are fried delicious, the old gourmets who have eaten are all praised, there are only three boxes in the store, if you don't book a few days in advance, you can't sit on the same day. In fact, it's okay if you can't book a private room, there are folding tables and chairs at the door of his store, and regular customers who often come don't greet them, pull out the tables and chairs by yourself, and then take a pair of dishes and chopsticks to order. The food stalls are so bold and uninhibited, and the common people in the market have been busy for a day, and they come here to let go of the reserved large pieces of meat and drink wine, in order to relax physically and mentally. This is also the reason why Liu Xinghao likes to come here the most, he feels that it is friendly and homely.
When Liu Xinghao arrived, the door of the store was already full of guests, and there was a table of guests who stepped on the chair and shouted five or six wine fists, which frequently attracted people's attention. He picked a secluded corner, pulled over a chair and sat down, it was time to rest after a busy day.
"Brother, it's coming!" Zhang Xiaoyu greeted warmly, she had just been admitted to college, and she would help in the store in her spare time, doing her best to share the burden of the family. Xiaoyu is a sweet-mouthed girl, which is also a kung fu that has been practiced for many years. Open the door to do business is like this, the same dish is sold by hundreds of people, the mouth is sweet like honey and sold fast, seeing a three-point smile on people's faces, and the guests guarantee that they can't run away.
Xiaoyu diligently brought the dishes, chopsticks and tea, and asked with a warm smile: "Brother, what are you going to eat tonight?" Liu Xinghao is a frequent customer in the store, and she already knows what he likes to eat.
"Yes, let's have a spicy back pot meat, and then a scorched fat sausage, a big bowl of rice, hurry up, I'm so hungry that my heart is close to my back!" Liu Xinghao loves these two dishes of their family the most, and he can't eat enough every time he comes. In private, he talked to Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang's grandfather used to be the private chef of a big official in Sichuan during the Qing Dynasty, and there was not much money and antiques left, and his good cooking skills were passed down.
"Okay, right away, wait a minute. Xiaoyu turned around and went to the back kitchen to place an order, and when she passed by the guests who were drinking and boxing, a ruffian with yellow hair on her head deliberately reached out and touched her buttocks, and her face was full of lewd smiles.
"You ......" Xiaoyu turned around and glanced at the yellow hair and hid in the back kitchen, catering will inevitably meet a few guests who pretend to be crazy with wine, the more you entangle with him, the more he kicks his nose in the face.
Liu Xinghao saw it in his eyes, and scolded silently in his heart: "Fuck! Why don't you go home and find your mother to touch it if you like to touch it so much?"
