Chapter 8: Misfortune or Blessing
dragged Zou Erwa, who was lying on the ground, and leaned him against a street tree on the side of the road. A few bloodstained banknotes were stuffed into Zou Erwa's jacket pocket. The uncle found a few pieces of paper and lit a pile of wet dead leaves, leaves moistened by water, and reluctantly burned himself, emitting thick choking green smoke.
"Young man, these dozens of dollars are yours, money is a good thing, everyone needs it, but what is the use of people asking for money when they are gone, so it is meaningful for people to live, it is the root of the matter, don't be so stupid in the future." The uncle who was squatting by the fire seemed to be talking to himself, and it was also like talking to Zou Erwa.
"Hmm~"
"Slow down and speak again, if you don't say it, I know what's going on, and this road has not been quiet in the past two years, so we should take care of the residue of these societies. Young man, look at the school emblem on your chest is a former medical student, right?" The uncle stirred the bottom of the fire with a stick, hollowing out the middle of the leaves, so as to form air convection, so that the flame burned more vigorously, and the temperature was several degrees higher due to the exuberance of the fire, and the roast had a little moist warmth on the person.
"Warm up your body first, I really admire your life, you can survive like this, it's a miracle! When I checked your body just now, did you have any internal strength?"
"Uncle, you are also my savior, let me tell you frankly, when I was a child, I followed my father to practice the absorption method of the inner family, which is often called qigong in the secular society, but in the end I gave up halfway.......
"There is a little bit of the foundation of the inner family, otherwise the wound would not heal so quickly, but...... "The uncle's words stopped at this point, as if he was thinking about something. Take out a cloth bag from the pocket of the lining of the clothes covered with grease, and then take out a brown pill the size of a pea from the cloth bag, the pill comes with a faint musk, Musk Zou Erwa has studied and observed when she entered the college, so I know, this kind of musk with a little natural fishy smell, only musk harvested from the wild musk has this characteristic, the difference between artificial musk and wild musk is whether there is a fishy smell.
Zou Erwa, who was leaning against the tree, would even say a few more words to involve the wounds on her body, if it wasn't for the uncle who found out early, I don't know what would happen next, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the uncle is a benefactor. "Thank you so much for today's events, hey....... All I can say right now is thank you. ”
"Everyone has children, wipe your face, clean your hands, bear with me, don't think of my handkerchief, sweat smells. The uncle took the pill and stuffed it into Zou Erwa's mouth, and while Zou Erwa was taking the medicine, he scrubbed the red and swollen wound on his face, one of the teeth of the front teeth fell out, the right hand was black and swollen, and the pierced arm was covered with a thick dry blood scar.
"There is no need to clean the scarred place, and when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, it is important to save your life first, and the human body is the capital of the revolution. ”
"Thank you, uncle, I see. ”
"Hey~yo,~~ back, my back hurts," Zou Erwa frowned, gritted her teeth, and tried her best to send her voice low from her nose. After about half an hour, Zou Erwa slowly felt that her body was super hot, the red and swollen places on her body slowly became swollen, and the blood flow brought streams of heat all over her limbs, and her mental and physical strength slowly recovered. What kind of medicine is this? Uncle, what kind of medicine are you, why are you so powerful? The uncle laughed and said nothing, only signaling Zou Erwa to stand up with both feet.
"Wow, uncle, I can stand up without feeling any pain from the wound. This.......
You can also go to work in a hot pot restaurant today, for Zou Erwa, it is simply a feeling of rebirth after the catastrophe, and when she just woke up, she was complaining that she would be fired for a job that she had finally found, and this worry was superfluous.
He stood up with the help of his uncle.
"Uncle, it's hypocritical to say how much I thank you now, only to see if there is a chance to repay you in the future. I'm very fine now, but my back hurts slightly, and my legs have regained strength, or I'll finish sweeping the street with you. Zou Erwa snatched the broom from her uncle's hand and immediately swept the fallen leaves on the road.
"Take your time, young man, do you see if there is anything that needs to be cleaned along the whole road? I'm going to go back to the studio to rest for a while, don't disturb my rest, go back, kid!" the master snatched the broom from Zou Erwa's hand and pushed the tool cart away without looking back.
You also take care, Zou Erwa looked at the back of the uncle who was getting farther and farther away in the mist and secretly blessed him. The vast number of beings in the red dust are often insignificant people doing noble things.
The sky was already shining, and the fresh mist was slowly fading, leaving the stage for the first rays of sunlight.
"Wow, whoa, bang~~when~" Aunt Guo in Beibei is an old hot pot, the fat man pads his feet, revealing his fat belly, and holds a fork stick against the roller shutter door.
"Fatty, can you be lighter, this is a rotten door, you are a rotten dog, and Lao Tzu has to hire someone to pay for repairs at night. ”
The boss stood outside the door with his waist crossed, yelling dissatisfiedly.
The sour smell that had been held all night, the fishy smell, the smell of rotten vegetables, and the smell of old oil in the water poured out, and the smoke made people want to vomit.
"Fatty, turn on the exhaust fan and smoke for a while. I'm going to the market to buy groceries now, and if the manager comes back and asks her to page, I'll have something to do with her. ”
In the kitchen, Zhang Fat Man was busy with his daily work, oxygenating the fish tank with fish, taking out the pig's blood (Xuewang) in the refrigerator and cleaning the burrs on the edges, which had begun to rot.
The waist piece is a test of the technical work of each pier, the thinner the waist piece, the better, and the waist piece as thin as a cicada's wings should be complete, very test technology. (Piece: Another way of saying that the southwest area cross-cut waist slice.) The first thing that Zhang Fatzi really does every morning is to work with his waist, which is very particular about knife skills and tests his skills. The first step is to completely thaw the waist flower, spread a towel below, and then cover a towel on the surface, stabilize the waist piece; expose the waist piece on one side, press the waist piece tightly with the left hand, use the knife with the right hand, the knife should be sharp, quickly use the knife from top to bottom, the knife is flat, slowly drag and cut, feel the thickness of the waist piece with your heart, and seek a thin waist piece quickly in stability. Zhang Fatzi cut the waist slices in a nervous and orderly manner, and placed them in the dish plate in a beautiful and neat plum blossom shape.
"Fat brother, it's so early!"
"Also, college student, early, scare me, I thought you wouldn't come to work today, don't talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive!"
"What's wrong with your nose, was it gnawed by your girlfriend, don't be so anxious, young man!" Zhang Fatzi and Zou Erwa began to joke about him as soon as they met, and he had to coax women according to his own experience, but he didn't seem to have any experience.
"Where is the fight with your girlfriend, hehe, fat brother! You like to talk nonsense, isn't it a drag to find a girlfriend like my current situation? The upper bed I slept on last night rolled over and fell in the middle of the night, and that's it. ”
"Is that all? Is it serious? Do you want to take a day off?"
"As for skin trauma, do you see if I need to ask for leave?" After speaking, Zou Erwa endured the pain, quickly squatted down and stood up, and then jumped up a few steps. to prove that you are healthy and alive.
"It's okay, I'm busy in the morning, you help me clean the dishes, see why your clothes and pants are so wet? I'll give you a work clothes, take off your clothes and put them on the stove, and they will dry soon." ”
"Fat brother, do you still have gloves, glued, waterproof kinds. ”
"There must be that kind of kitchen, what do you use it for? If you don't know how to wash vegetables, you have to wear waterproof gloves, it's really a college student. Come, give you a pair."
"Don't ask, I'm not that particular yet. ”
Zou Erwa took her gloves and work clothes and ran into the toilet to change.
"College student, it's not easy to do things with gloves, are you afraid that you will go back and touch your girlfriend's face after you have a calloon?"
"No, don't ask, if you ask, I won't tell you, just a few days. Zou Erwa took out the injured left hand hidden in her trouser pocket, slowly turned the gloves out, and put them on from her fingers down a little bit, sometimes accidentally touching the wound, and put on the gloves with a hard heart and endured the pain. Hehe~~~~ Look, no one can see that my hand is injured.
"Fatty, is there an extra brother in the kitchen today. What are you here for?" A thin figure flashed into the kitchen before he could finish speaking.
"Oh, the master is here, the college student is here, I'll introduce you, this is our stir-fry master, Master Wang, and also my master. "The fat man was a little puzzled, yesterday when Zou Erwa was interning in the kitchen, Master Wang was also there, the master really began to get old, and his brain began to be forgetful.
"Hello master, I came here temporarily on Saturday and Sunday to work part-time, and I will take care of it more in the future" Zou Erwa didn't care about how many people were familiar with each other yesterday, to avoid embarrassment, she pretended to be just here, and specially removed the previous surname, he thought that this could bring in the relationship between people.
"Don't be nervous, we are all part-time workers, I won't bully newcomers, but the work must be done well, people must be diligent, I am a more easy-going person, and everyone will be called brothers in the future." ”
"Master, I'll rely on you to take care of me in the future!" Zou Erwa stood up and rubbed her sore back, and squatted on the ground to wash the vegetables.
"Master, the boss said this morning that there is not much hot pot base and needs to be fried. ”
"I know, fat man, you also have to serve dim sum, it's not that I don't teach you, you fried the glutinous chili pepper a little old last time, and the hot pot soup mixed up is easy to muddy the soup. If you really like it, you can go to the generous confession, and you will be absent-minded, and the soup of dozens of pots of hot pot will be black and dark, and you can't change it. "Master Wang is very dissatisfied with Zhang Fatzi, which will damage his reputation, not to mention the boss's doubts about his skills.
"Yes, yes~, master, my fault, I promise *** that it won't be this time. The fat man handed a cigarette to Master Wang.
"Smoking damages my health, and you come to harm me again, and you have nothing to do with your courtesy, and you are either a traitor or a thief; Master Wang's puffy eyelids were playful.
"Master, I'm just looking, and I'm definitely not going to do it! It's just, hehe~, I'll ask you to watch the video after work at night, the kind of 30 yuan," the fat man's expression was very begging.
"Well, it's not impossible to watch the video, but today you are only allowed to watch, not to operate, and to watch the video as long as the Beibei Street Heart Park. ”
The fat man wants to learn how to boil hot pot base, and his biggest dream is to open a hot pot restaurant by himself, find a waitress as his wife, have children, and live in the city for the rest of his life. In Sichuan and Chongqing, many chefs are boiled out step by step from restaurant handymen, dunzi, and masters, and learning to stir-fry or learn to boil hot pot base belongs to the master level, in charge of kitchen things. There are few systematic to the chef school training, all belong to the teacher's transmission.
"College students are not busy washing the dishes, come and take the dishes, take the cucumbers and soak them in water, don't put the loofah in the refrigerator, don't remember it, it will be bad if you freeze it in the refrigerator." Before the boss arrived, the voice came from afar, as if the lazy employee didn't know that the boss was back. The waitress who gathered together to brag and chat ran away, mopping the floor, wiping the table, drying chopsticks, and wiping sweat from time to time, as if she was extremely tired.
