That night, Huo Bai stood in the food stall downstairs listening to the sound of ping-pong upstairs, leisurely chopping meat filling.

The sound insulation of this old community he is in is very poor, and there are people downstairs who speak normally, and they can hear it clearly in the room on the fifth floor.

"Huo, Brother Huo, I, I'm here. At 3:50 p.m., Duan Ping stood in front of Huo Bai with the gray cap he wore three years ago, with a blue nose and swollen face.

After the old Wu Tou who was unloading from the car on the side saw Duan Ping, he stared at his face and was stunned, and it took a while to realize who he was.

Old Wu's squinting eyes opened suddenly, "Are you ...... Ping boy?"

Duan Ping raised his hand and rubbed his cheek with some embarrassment, "Grandpa Wu." ”

Old Wu Tou put down the vegetable basket in his hand and slapped Duan Ping on the back, "Oh!

"You kid have saved enough money for his wife, and you won't leave when you come back, right?"

Duan Ping also had bruises on his back, so he couldn't die in the place where Lao Wu Tou took it, he endured the pain, looked at Lao Wu Tou seriously and said, "Don't go." ”

Old Wu Tou put down the hand that was patted on Duan Ping's body, turned around and continued to move goods from the car, "It's okay not to go, then I have to eat a roasted brain flower today before leaving!"

"You know, Huo Bai's kid is not as good as you when he stir-fries and barbecues. ”

Duan Ping took the big basket of potatoes in Lao Wutou's hand, "I'll come, I'll come, this Shen." ”

"Huoge barbecue is better than mine. ”

Old Wu waved his hand, "Scared, don't say good things for him." He looked up at Huo Bai, who had returned to the noodle room to clean up the clams because Duan Ping was here, and lowered his voice to come to his side and whispered: "Huo boy, he himself also knows that his skills are not as good as yours, otherwise why did he withdraw so many dishes from the menu brand? In three years, I haven't seen him sell brain flowers once." ”

Duan Ping picked up the basket of potatoes and walked into the front room, his voice a little dull.

"I'm going to see if there's any brains. ”

Huo Bai finished handling the crayfish in his hand, stood up and wiped his hands, and stepped forward to take the vegetable basket in Duan Ping's hand.

"Help Lao Wu Tou quickly unload all the dishes, it's hot and evil. ”

"Brother Huo, old Wu Tou said that he ate roasted brain flowers today and went back. ”

"Brain flower has, today's fresh. ”

Duan Ping touched his nose and coughed twice, "Brother Huo, thank you." ”

Huo Bai, who had put the potatoes away, deliberately frowned and turned his head, "Thank you, go out and help, you are embarrassed to leave Lao Wu alone outside on such a hot day." ”

"Ahh ”

Duan Ping walked out of the façade room and asked Lao Wu Tou to rest in the shade on the side, Lao Wu Tou looked back at the goods in the car, nodded and went to the side with his hands behind his back to take a cool.

Duan Ping was tall and strong, and he unloaded all the dishes after a while.

"Brother Huo, where is the tent stand?" Duan Ping stood at the door and wiped the sweat from his face with his hands.

"Old place. A towel soaked with water was thrown over his head.

He reached out and pulled down the towel covering his head, wiped his face vigorously, smiled and walked into the place where the tent was kept, and moved everything out.

Around 4:40, everything was ready.

Duan Ping stood in front of the barbecue grill, which was no different from three years ago, roasting old Wu's brains.

Huo Bai squatted aside and rewrote a menu on the small blackboard that was wiped clean.

"That's what it tastes like! Tsk, another one, I'll bring it back to my son and try it." Old Wu Tou ate Duan Ping's freshly baked brain flower, patted his thighs and shook his head.

"Done. ”

At five o'clock, Lao Wu Tou drove away, and Huo Bai's food stall officially opened for business.

"Boss, do you have ravioli?" The first to come was still the short-haired girl.

"Yes, which kind of soup wonton, fried wonton, and mixed wonton should be. The girl was slightly stunned, she smiled, "Fry the wontons, sprinkle more sesame seeds and chives!"

Huo Bai stood in front of the frying pan that had not been moved out in three years with a dark blue apron, skillfully frying the wontons with a pair of long chopsticks.

The sun went down and the sky grew dark.

"Yo! Have a brain, let's have three copies!"

"Let's have a sizzling tofu!"

"Ten dollars to bake gluten!

"Pig ears, a cold beer, fifty skewers of mutton, twenty skewers of hairy belly...... Brother, what else do you want to have?"

"Five bowls of cold noodles to take away, two parts slightly spicy, one part heavy spicy, two parts not spicy. Put more crushed peanuts, hey, don't put coriander!!"

"Boss, two catties of hemp!"

"I said, boss, your shrimp is not fresh......"

"Little brother, what's the matter with you? Didn't you say don't it be spicy? How can I eat so many chili peppers!"

"Let's pack a pig's trotters and get more cumin. ”

"Little brother, I want squid, not shrimp...... Shrimp and squid are similar?"

"Boss, a portion of boiled fish, heavy spicy. ”

"Forget it...... It's so hot, it's not easy for you to stand by the fire, little brother. ”

"Stir-fried rice cakes, no carrots, bean sprouts and chopped green onions. Well...... Slightly spicy, no, no, it's still slightly spicy. ”

"Boss, why is your cold beer not cold enough?"

"Eh, let's have a wonton to try. ”

"Grilled two scallops and oysters. ”

"Boss, get some clams. ”

"Have a cold skin, not spicy, more cucumber shreds. ”

"Let's have a fried rice...... Then fried rice with shredded pork. ”

Huo Bai and Duan Ping were busy in front of the stove and in front of the grill, Duan Ping may not have done this for a long time, and for a while he was a little in a hurry, either taking the wrong thing or sprinkling spicy on what was not spicy.

Occasionally, there are little mistakes.

Fortunately, the guests are still good at talking, and they understand that he is still standing by the grill to work on such a hot day.

Time flies, ten o'clock.

There were finally fewer guests, and Duan Ping was also relieved, he lifted the hem of his clothes and wiped the sweat on his face.

"Bottle, are you back?" Ah Zhai, who came out of the unit door, recognized Duan Ping standing and wiping his sweat at a glance.

Seeing Ah Zhai walking straight towards the grill, he hurriedly pulled up the hem of his clothes, "Well, I'm back." ”

"Ji Tanghuo said that you went out to work, I thought he was a donkey to me. Hey, you've got enough of your wife's book in the bottle so quickly?" Ah Zhai took out a handful of pork belly from the freezer and put it on the grill, "Sprinkle cumin and white sesame seeds, slightly spicy." ”

"Ah~ It's good that you're back, the pork belly roasted in chicken soup is not as delicious as your grilled pork belly!"

Ah Zhai took a few steps back, and sighed in a place where he couldn't feel the heat of the charcoal fire.

"Eh, what about the chicken soup people? I just saw the little wontons in the freezer. ”

Huo Bai walked out of the tent with an empty plate, he glanced at the sizzling pork belly on the grill, and turned his head to look at Ah Zhai again, "With the pork belly, do you want small wontons?"

"It's necessary, little wonton is my life!"

"Okay. Huo Bai nodded, "You wait a while, I'll go and put the bowl first." ”

Ah Zhai looked at Huo Bai's back as he left, stretched out his hand and poked Duan Ping's shoulder, "Hey, what's wrong with the chicken soup Huo?

Duan Ping's shoulders stiffened, and Ah Zhai poked his wound, it was a pain! Don't look at his milk's age, there is no ambiguity at all.

"What's wrong? Brother Huo isn't sick. ”

"Also, you haven't been back for three years, so you really don't know. How could the usual chicken soup Huo be in such a good mood today. ”

Duan Ping took the seasoning jar and sprinkled salt on the skewers, "Brother Huo is in a good mood?" ”

"I'll go, no, it's hot! I'll go in first to avoid it. After a while, the chicken soup will come out, you can help me and tell him to order me a large portion of small wontons, and I want more sea rice and seaweed!"

After Ah Zhai finished speaking, he rushed into the cool tent, and Duan Ping wiped his sweat and turned over the pork belly on the grill.

Picking up the grilled pork belly and putting it on a stainless steel plate on the side, Duan Ping carried it into the tent.

After serving, as soon as he lifted the curtain at the door of the tent, he saw Huo Bai walking over.

"Brother Huo, Ah Zhai said ......"

Huo Bai picked up the basket on the side and waved his hand, "I heard it, it's hard to hear her so loud." When you're done here, let's rest and have dinner. ”

"Okay, Brother Huo, what about you?"

Huo Bai walked to the stove with the small wontons he had picked up, "I'm not in a hurry, it's the same if you eat later." ”

"Why don't I do it together, and you can pad it later?" Duan Ping scooped a spoonful of water from the bucket on the side and squatted at the drain to wipe his face.

Huo Bai scooped up the cooked small wontons from the pot with a colander and put them into the big sea bowl where the soup was mixed on the side, "It's okay, you can watch it." ”

"I almost forgot, I also booked dinner for a team of migrant workers here, and you came with me at eleven o'clock. ”

Duan Ping wiped his face and stood up, his soaked towel was put on his shoulder, "Okay, then do you want to prepare anything in advance?"

"No, there are few people on their night shift today, just stir-fry two dishes and add a soup. ”

"Oh. ”

Huo Bai sent the prepared small wontons to Ah Zhai, "Chicken soup Huo, bottle ......" Ah Zhai stirred the wontons in the bowl with a spoon, she hesitated and stopped Huo Bai.

"Huh?"

"Forget it, it's nothing. Ah Zhai shook his head after thinking about it. "I mean, the bottle technology has improved again, and the pork belly is really getting better and better. ”

Huo Bai raised his eyebrows and went out without saying anything, it was too cool in the tent, he was afraid that he wouldn't have to go out if he stayed for a while.

"Boss, a sauerkraut fish to take away, slightly spicy, all with black fish fillet. The middle-aged man in a shirt wiped his sweat and said to Huo Bai, who had just walked out of the tent.

"Wait a minute. ”

"Answer the phone~Dad answer the phone~" A milky and cute girl's voice came from the middle-aged man.

"What's wrong with the girl?"

The man reached out for his phone and connected the call.

"Oh...... That's what your teacher said?"

"Okay, no problem!"

"Well, you continue to practice at the teacher's house, and you can see your father after class. ”

"Haha, talk your talk!"

The man hung up the phone with a smile, and then he sighed heavily with a frown.

"Grunt~" The man reached out and touched his gurgling belly, "Boss, do you have white rice here?"

Huo Bai was slicing fish fillets, and when he heard this, he looked up at the middle-aged man who was speaking, "Yes." ”
