Night 10: Beef pho
After eating the fried rice, Alin stood up with a plate, "You eat slowly, I'll go first." β
The five people waved at her and continued to eat the unfinished skewers on the table, and the food was coming with a loud cry of joy.
"Junjun-!" the monkey couldn't help but tremble when he heard this voice, and he carefully skimmed around with his eyes. However, he didn't see the person he had imagined.
'Where's it?' the monkey asked the team flower sitting next to him with his mouth, and the team flower's hand quietly pointed in a direction under the table.
The monkey immediately put a bright smile on his face and turned to look in that direction, "Eh, Mom~ Why are you here~"
The person who came was the mother of the monkey, a middle-aged woman who was a little thin and had the same healthy wheat-colored skin as the monkey.
The mother monkey stepped forward and pulled him up from his seat by twisting the monkey's ears, "Good boy, this is not the official holiday, and you dare not go home yet!
The mother monkey was a head shorter than the monkey, and she had to stretch out her hand to pull him. The monkey had to bend over and tilt his head to match his mother's height, "Mom, are you tired from holding your hands? β
Mother Monkey couldn't help laughing, "Yo~ Aren't you afraid of losing face in front of your classmates?"
"Hehe, what are you afraid of, my face is so thick-skinned, throwing one or two is just to lighten the burden. The monkey laughed.
"Poof~ Okay, next time you don't go home so late, remember to make a phone call and say it to your family, allow you to play with your friends for a while, you must go home before half past ten!"
When the mother monkey saw him like that, no matter how angry she was, she couldn't get angry, so she left this sentence and left.
"Eh, Mom, do you want a lamb skewer......?" the monkey shouted to his mother's back as he stood in his seat, and sat down in relief when his mother was completely out of his sight.
"WhewβI'm scared to death!" the monkey patted his chest with trepidation, "Eh, Captain, what time is it?"
Matsuko chewed the mutton skewers and glanced at the time, "It's over! It's ten o'clock! My parents are off work, and I'm going to die! Brothers, I'll go first!" Seeing that the time was not early, Matsuko quickly finished the meat skewers in his hand and ran out.
"Oh no, I have to go!" Dakang grabbed two uneaten bamboo skewers and ran away.
"I'm here, I'm gone!" followed suit.
The monkey looked at himself and then turned his head to look at the team flower, "What about you?"
The team flower grabbed the remaining skewers on the table and divided them into half and stuffed them into his hands, "Silly, captain, why are they still staying when they are gone? β
"Oh. The monkey pulled out a beef skewer and took a bite.
"And then!" the monkey heard the sound and grabbed the meat skewer in his mouth, and caught what the team flower threw with his free hand.
"Go back and copy the rules, no thanks. β
ββ¦β¦ Why do you have such a good memory......" The monkey waved his fist at the back of the team flower.
"The devil wants to thank you. The monkey muttered so quietly, but in the end, he honestly took the rule with him in his arms.
At half past ten, the customers in the food stalls left one after another, and the originally overcrowded seating area suddenly became empty.
Huo Bai took advantage of the fact that there were no guests coming over to clean up the food stalls again.
"The owner, beef pho. "As soon as I finished cleaning up, a guest came, and he was a regular customer.
This person's name is Wen Jun, and he is a college entrance examination student who has just passed the college entrance examination. His usual academic performance is very good, and he is the first in his grade in every exam. However, since the end of the college entrance examination, Huo Bai has not seen him for almost a month.
Moreover, there was no expression of joy on his face, his face was gloomy, and the corners of his mouth were blistered.
"Long time no see. Huo Bai wiped his hands and smiled at him, "Well, long time no see." Wen Jun barely pulled out a stiff smile.
"It's on fire, let's drink some herbal tea. Huo Bai poured Wen Jun a cup of herbal tea that he had boiled himself from the refrigerator.
Wen Jun took the icy herbal tea that was cold, "Thank you." The temperature of this herbal tea is about the same as the temperature in his heart now, the same cold.
Huo Bai didn't say anything more, and turned around to fry beef pho for him.
Heat the oil in a large pot, pour in the pre-marinated raw beef and spread it when the oil is hot. Then, grab a handful of pho and stir-fry it until it is tender.
When the pho is soft, add the fresh minced garlic and shredded green peppers and continue to stir-fry. Finally, add a small spoonful of broth, soy sauce and salt and stir-fry well, and you can get out of the pot, because of Wenjun's personal taste, Huo Bai will also go to the pho to fry a little kimchi at the end.
Huo Bai put a plate of steaming beef pho in his left hand and a bowl of seaweed and sea rice soup in his right hand, and put it in front of Wen Jun.
Wen Jun only likes to eat beef pho with seaweed and sea rice soup, and he will soak the pho in the soup and eat it together at the end of the meal.
I have tried that kind of eating method Huo Bai, and it feels more refreshing than eating beef pho with soup, and the taste is smoother.
"Let's settle the bill first......" Moon Jun took out a few coins from his trouser pocket and put them on the table.
Huo Bai didn't count the number of those coins, right, he directly took the coins and put them into his money box. Wen Jun is a fashionable young man, he usually pays with his mobile phone when he comes to eat, and he has never seen him use cash, and he often chats with people with his mobile phone while eating.
Today, Huo Bai didn't see Wen Jun take out his mobile phone. At the end of May, Wen Jun also specially showed him his new mobile phone, and he couldn't wait to hold it in his hand 24 hours a day.
Under the light, Wen Jun sat alone and quietly ate beef pho, he did not eat with chopsticks, but counted them one by one.
Suddenly, Huo Bai's mobile phone vibrated twice.
He took out his phone and clicked on it, looked at it, replied a few more words and closed the phone. Then, he turned around and leaned against the stove and looked at Wen Jun quietly, he knew why he was like this.
Just now he received a text message from Wen Jun's father on his mobile phone, which also let him know about what happened to Wen Jun recently.
Wen Jun failed the college entrance examination because he was too nervous, and before that, he refused to be escorted by the school. After the college entrance examination results came out, he couldn't accept this fact for a while, so he locked himself in his room for more than half a month, and didn't communicate with his family.
Today, he suddenly went out in the middle of the night, and his family was frightened, thinking that he couldn't think about it.
So, his family followed him from a distance, and they were relieved until they saw him enter Huo Bai's food stall. His father also sent a text message to Huo Bai at this time to explain the situation, and asked him to help take care of his son by the way, it would be better if he could be relieved.
Huo Bai rubbed his temples, but he was not a psychiatrist, and the important thing for this kind of thing was that he could think of it himself.
Huo Bai saw that the herbal tea in his cup had been drunk, so he turned around and went to pick up another cup and sent it to him, the corners of his mouth were so big that it must hurt to eat.
"Thank you...... I don't have enough money with me......" Wen Jun stopped his chopsticks and whispered.
"Old rules, you help me try the food. I always felt that something was wrong, but I just couldn't find it. With that, Huo Bai turned around and went to the freezer and took out a small plate of slightly failed sauce beef that he had made by researching new flavors not long ago, although it was said to be a bit of a failure, but he felt that these beef had a special taste.
Wen Jun smiled, "Okay...... I'll finish the beef pho first. β
"Don't rush, you eat slowly. I'm going to make their dinner. β
"Hmm. β
The dinner that Huo Bai made for Lao Zhou and them today was a messy stew and white rice. You don't need to pay much attention to the big mess stew, the key is that the amount is large enough, as long as the rice is enough, you will definitely be able to eat enough.
When it was almost five o'clock in the morning today, Dajun and the others came back from work and said that last night's meatball wonton noodles were not enough to eat, and they wanted to eat.
Therefore, Huo Bai plans to make a messy stew tonight. After collecting all the ingredients for the pot, he took out a large saucepan and sat on the fire, heating the pan with hot oil.
When the oil is hot, pour in the green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour the eggplant, potatoes, meat slices, pork ribs and the like into it and stir-fry, after frying, put the other ingredients into it, pour water and seasoning, cover and simmer.
It's a very hassle-free dish, but it's not so easy to make it delicious. Huo Bai stood by the pot, waited for the water in the pot to boil over high heat, then turned it to low heat, and stirred it slightly with a spoon to prevent the bottom from sticking to the pot.
After the dishes were ready, Huo Bai began to cook rice, and the five rice cookers with the largest capacity lit up the rice cooking button together.
"Boss, let's have a fried mein, slightly spicy. At this time, a man in a suit stood in front of Huo Bai's food stall with a tired face and ordered.
"Pack it or eat it here?" Huo Bai wiped his hands and took the long chopsticks to pick out the amount of one person from the frame where the fried noodles were placed.
"Pack. Boss, what do you put in your fried noodles?"
Huo Bai took a clean pot from the box and put it on the stove, "Put eggs, bean sprouts, baby greens, shredded meat, sausages, carrots and mushrooms." β
"No eggs and carrots. β
"Okay. β
Huo Bai fried the fried noodles, packed them and handed them to the man in the suit standing in front of him.
"I transferred the money, boss, take a look. The man in the suit handed the successful payment interface displayed on his mobile phone to Huo Bai,
"Hmm. Huo Bai nodded and sent the tired man in the suit away.
After sending off the guests, Huo Bai began to clean up the stove.
After washing the pot, Huo Bai wiped his hands, poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and walked to Wen Jun and sat down.
"How is it?" Huo Bai took a sip of herbal tea and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Jun chewed the beef in his mouth, "The taste is roughly the same as the last time you made it, but this one has a very bad taste." Overall, it's unpalatable. β
Huo Bai picked up a piece and chewed it, "Really, why do I think this time there are more flavors." β
"Really......" Wen Jun looked at Huo Bai with strange eyes, and then he frowned and looked at the sauced beef, "Then I'll try again......"
Huo Bai pushed the plate in front of him, "Well, try again." β
