It was almost noon at this moment, and Xia Maosheng said with a smile: "Let's go to the hour to celebrate." ”

Xiaowei smiled and said, "Medium, on the hour, there is nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, just come over at noon tomorrow, accompany you on the hour." ”

The two men watched as the car crossed the road and went straight to the Bone Pavilion.

When they arrived at the Bone Restaurant, there were no guests in the house, and the boss and a man and a woman were sitting at a table next to the room making dumplings, and when they turned their heads to see them coming in, they said, "What are you eating today?"

Xia Maosheng walked over with a smile, handed a cigarette to the boss and said, "Don't you collect money today? ”

The boss patted the noodles on his hands, took the cigarette with a smile and lit it with Xia Maosheng's hand, and said, "It's beautiful to think." It's a lot of money, and I don't like to eat. Oh, we will make our own dumplings today, and I will bring you a plate in a while, and we will not charge any money. Medium, right?"

Xia Maosheng said: "Medium, exquisite. Come, get a few good ones, let's have a bottle of Lingta on the hour today, and the boss will have a drink together. ”

The boss stood up and said, "What's the joy of this? It's been a hundred years since the bottle was opened, and the new ones are not very high, okay?"

Xia Maosheng said: "Medium, the high degree is drunk and suffered, and the low degree is just right." Hehe, I can't drink it. Xiaowei, our Lingta is a good wine, let me tell you, in the entire Northeast, our Chaoyang wine tastes good and has a domineering taste. ”

The boss said on the side: "There is nothing wrong with that. Our liquor is the foundation of Fenjiu in Jinxi, Fenjiu has very high requirements for water quality, the whole Northeast can come out of our place to taste, this distillery has been there since the Ming Dynasty, at that time it was the people of Jinxi who did it here, using the way of Fenjiu, and finally brewed the current Lingta, Lingta in the Qing Dynasty or tribute wine. ”

Xiaowei found a place to sit down and said, "Okay, taste it, I haven't studied wine, so I don't drink it well." ”

The boss sat down next to Xiaowei, handed a cigarette and asked, "What's my brother's name?" ”

Xiaowei took the cigarette, took out his lighter and lit it, and said, "My name is Zhang Wei, from Fengtian Nanhu, boss, what is your surname?"

The boss said: "My surname is An, and I am a big surname here, and I have not moved here for many lifetimes." He pointed at Xia Maosheng and said: "He knows me, my buddies all call me the fifth child, and I don't have any ability, and I don't have a class, this is not a good time, get a small shop, this craft is still passed down from generation to generation, and as a result, you will come to eat, brother." ”

Xia Maosheng happened to sit down, and when he heard this, he began to laugh, and almost sat on the ground.

Xiaowei glared at Xia Maosheng and said to the fifth brother of the boss: "It's not counted, the main thing hasn't been eaten, I know there is another thing, but I haven't seen it, I don't know what it is, the raw one should be a little bitter, your meat stew is delicious, it should be this thing that works, and bone meal can only add flavor to the soup." ”

An Lao Wu gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you were born to cook this, this kid is still a chef, and I haven't eaten ugly in the past few years." I also added a package there, white bean kou and white angelica, white bean kou this game can make the meat fresh, but this play is a bit special, you can't cook it with the meat, you have to wait until the meat is almost cooked before putting it, and the soup has to be fished out before it rolls out of the pot for a while, otherwise it won't work. ”

Xiaowei thought for a while and said, "That's Chinese medicine, right?"

The boss nodded and said, "Yes, Chinese medicine, aren't the seasonings we cook all Chinese medicine?" Peppercorns and cinnamon, including ginger, these are all Chinese medicines, and Chinese can eat and cook without Chinese medicine?"

Xiaowei asked, "Is that medicine poisonous?"

The boss smiled and said, "Chinese medicine is a plant, and it is not a dry eat, so putting a little less is only good for the body." Like this bean coar, there are several kinds of toys, and the functions are different, white bean cole is appetizing and promotes digestion, do you say it can be harmful?"

Xia Maosheng said: "Yes, appetizing and promoting digestion is not just to make people eat more, hurting their wallets." ”

All three of them laughed, and the proprietress who was making dumplings on the side laughed.

The boss asked, "What are you going to eat today?" Hey, by the way, I got some mutton yesterday, Kazuo, can I get you some hand-made lamb chops?"

Xiaowei nodded and said, "Zhongzhong, this is good." ”

Xia Maosheng said: "Stewed sauerkraut, it's too cold this day, eat something warm, you can watch the rest, let's get four enough." ”

The boss agreed, stood up and went to the back to arrange, and as soon as the door opened, two more people came in: "Maosheng? Why did you come to Chaoyang?" The first one was also a big man, in his twenties, not shorter than Xia Maosheng, with a strong physique, shaved in winter, wearing a long black fur coat, a navy blue scarf around his neck, and a pair of police hooks on his feet, which were police officer boots. The officer's boots on the army are called military hooks, but in fact, the two shoes are similar in style, and the tips of the shoes are wrapped with steel plates.

He took off the leather gloves on his hand and greeted Xia Maosheng.

Xia Maosheng was lying on the table talking to Xiaowei, when he heard the voice, he turned his head to look over, and stood up with a surprised smile to greet him: "Oh fuck, why are you here? Come on, come together, what are you here to do?"

A few people sat down around the table, and the guy threw his gloves on the table and said, "Come and study, the whole scene, if you don't come, you can't do it." Oh, this is my colleague, and it's also a buddy, Liu Huasheng, Watson, this is my buddy, Xia Maosheng, you should have heard of it, right?"

Xia Maosheng and Liu Huasheng nodded and said hello, Xia Maosheng said to Xiaowei: "This is my buddy Li Xing, you can just call him Tiezi, his nickname is Tiedaner, the policeman, and his father is the director of our police station." Tiezi, this is Zhang Wei, Fengtian, by the way, his uncle at home is also a policeman. That Liu Huasheng, it's the first time I've seen it today. ”

The two sides got to know each other, young man, and they chatted in a few words.

After a while, the boss came up with a steaming bowl and put it on the table, glanced at Li Xing and said, "Tiezi is also here, why did you come?" Then the four of you, I just made dumplings." He took out two bottles of Ling He Centennial from his trouser pocket and put them on the table.

Li Xing said: "What's the matter, fifth brother, I can't even serve the table when I come?"

The boss pointed to the dumpling and said, "Don't talk nonsense." I'll wrap the dumplings first, and I'll come over and drink one later, okay? ”

After a few jokes, the fifth brother of the boss went to make dumplings, and the four of them opened up here, without saying anything, one person poured it first, Xiaowei picked up the wine glass and licked it, it was not very spicy, a little sweet, and very mellow. Xia Maosheng said on the side: "What's the taste? Don't brag at all, this is the only fragrant wine in the Northeast, I know why we are all cellar wine in the Northeast? The further north you go, the more you can't, Lao Maozi's wine is simply like alcohol. ”
