In the food stalls that emit warm yellow lights, there is the sound of beating from time to time.

Huo Bai was beating the meat stuffing in the basin, and in the cauldron on the side, "Goo, goo." Bubbling and steaming, the steaming water wound upwards around the dark lampshade hanging from the canopy.

Huo Bai glanced at the clock hanging on the canopy stand, eleven o'clock.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Huo Bai held the meat filling in his left hand and squeezed the meatballs, and with a spoon in his right hand, he threw the squeezed out meatballs one by one into the big pot of boiling water on the side, and his movements were smooth.

When half of the meat filling in the basin was left, Huo Bai stopped, covered the pot with meatballs boiling, turned around to scoop water from the small bucket on the side, and squatted down the drain to wash his hands.

The sound of the water sounded quietly in the dark night, and the rain did not know when it would stop, and only sporadic water remained on the ground, which proved that it had indeed rained before.

Huo Bai was washing his hands, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Yue and a half coming out of the opposite unit door.

He stood up and took down the towel hanging around his neck, wiped his hands, looked at Yueban who came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yueban shook his head and didn't speak, "Then you go find a place to sit first." Huo Bai could probably guess what was going on when he saw her like that, and he covered the remaining half pot of minced meat with plastic wrap and temporarily put it in the refrigerator.

After a while, Huo Bai took the re-grilled saury and some change and put it in front of Yue Ban.

"Your change. ”

Under the light, the heavy bangs in front of Yueban's forehead left a shadow on her face, and she didn't put away the change.

Huo Bai, who put down his things, turned around and walked to the stove, wrapped it in a towel and opened the lid, the hot and humid steam came to his face, and Huo Bai's vision was also blocked by the white vapor.

After the water vapor dissipated, he saw light brown meatballs tumbling up and down in the pot, Huo Bai picked up the soup spoon on the side shelf and stirred it slowly.

took out the soup spoon and put it in the empty bowl on the stove, Huo Bai reached out and picked up the spice box and sprinkled the spices into the pot.

"The owner...... Is there any wine?"

Yueban, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Huo Bai was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Yes, which one do you want?"

"What does the boss like to drink?"

Huo Bai, who put down the spice box, walked to the standing freezer, "I don't like to drink. ”

"Oh......" Moon-and-a-half's voice sounded a little disappointed.

"Rice wine is not drunk. Huo Bai carried a glass wine barrel with a red sealed lid and placed it on the moon table.

Yueban nodded, took out a wallet from his pocket and handed it to Huo Bai, Huo Bai waved his hand, "I don't need so much, but you have to do me a favor later." ”

Yueban's stubby fingers pinched the red banknote and stubbornly stretched it out in front of Huo Bai.

Huo Bai chuckled, "There will be a lot of people coming after a while, and one person can't be busy, how about you help serve a dish." ”

Yueban hesitated for a moment, but finally reached back to his hand.

At 12:21 at midnight, Huo Bai stood by the stove with beef jerky in his mouth and put wontons under the pot of boiling water.

"Haha, Lao Huo, what is delicious today? I smell it at the intersection!"

A loud voice exploded in Huo Bai's ears, Huo Bai couldn't help but rub his ears with his shoulders, frowned and knocked on the edge of the pot with the long chopsticks in his hand.

"Be quiet, I have a new zero-hour worker today, if your loud voice scares people away, I will discuss with Lao Zhou to let you come to work for me. ”

"Oh, you kid have changed another part-time worker, and what about the guy last time?" At this moment, a man who seemed to have just crawled out of the ash heap suddenly emerged from the darkness.

"Black Egg!"

"Hey, hey, Zhou, Brother Zhou......" The whole person is called Black Egg, he is also interesting, no matter what he does, he can always make himself dusty when he comes back.

With a shout, several figures came out of the shadows, and at the front was a tall, dark-skinned man wearing a vest and an open coat, this person was Lao Zhou.

Lao Zhou stepped forward and dragged the black egg out of Huo Bai's stove, "The ashes are still coming to the side of the pot, I plan to let everyone eat ashes!"

"Come back after you shoot it yourself!" Lao Zhou patted the ash rubbed from the black egg in his palm and walked back, "Lao Huo, let's go down to us first, and the black egg will wait for him to finish shooting the ashes." ”

When the black egg heard this, he was unhappy and shouted while slapping the ashes, "Why, I'm hungry too......"

Lao Zhou turned his head and glared at him, "Stop, the dust has soiled the owner's shop, you come to clean it!"

The black egg snorted in a low voice, speeding up the slap of the ash on his hand.

Yue Ban walked to the table with the tray in front of the seated person, and in the tray were five deep-mouthed green-edged large bowls, each bowl full of noodles and ravioli, and some meatballs and green vegetable leaves.

Yueban put down the bowl in the tray, turned around and continued to serve the meatball wonton noodles that Huo Bai had just fished out.

It took several times to bring more than a dozen people's portions, and after one end of the noodles, Yue Ban pulled a stool nearby and moved it to the outside of the canopy and sat down far away, saying that it was far away, but outside the canopy under a canopy, the voices of the two tables of people could still be heard clearly.

"Lao Huo, the new part-time job you found this time is good, much better than the previous kid. Lao Zhou picked up a chopstick noodle and blew it, and said to Huo Bai, who came over with two plates of side dishes.

Huo Bai put down the plate in his hand and smiled, stretched out his hand and dragged a stool and sat down.

"It's really good. ”

"Cut, it's much better than that kid at first glance, and that kid is not safe to look at all day. ”

The man in a black undershirt sitting next to Lao Zhou took the time to interject while eating noodles.

"I'll just say, it's better for the little girl to be careful, the kid before was too lively. ”

Sitting across from the man, the skinny monkey-like man echoed.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's just, it's still hairy, and almost hit my bowl, but now this one is a little too shy. ”

At this time, after shooting the gray black eggs outside, carrying a blue plastic stool, he squeezed to Lao Zhou and sat down.

"Go, go, eat your noodles. The man who was squeezed away by the black egg took the bowl with one hand and waved at him with the other like a chick.

"Boss, where is my noodles?" The black egg sat and asked Huo Bai on the side, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of two side dishes on the table, one stacked of capers, and the other of red oil bean curd cubes, "Eh, a few of you take it easy, leave me some side dishes! Fatty, you are so fat and still eat! You deserve not to find your daughter-in-law!"

Seeing that there were not many side dishes, Hei Dan looked at the few people who were picking up the dishes from the plate, and he took the brunt of the fat man's name.

Everyone knows that Black Egg and Fat Man like to fight, and Black Egg can't talk about fat people every time, but he still enjoys it and fights with fat people when he has nothing to do.

"Hmph, I've had a partner, have you ever been? As he spoke, the fat man reached out and changed a spoon, took a spoonful of capers from the plate, threw them into his bowl, stirred them with chopsticks, and squinted a pair of small eyes that were squeezed by the fat while only a slit remained, and glanced at the black eggs that were fried on the spot.

Huo Bai saw that the two of them couldn't stop for a while, so he got up from the stool and went to bring Hei Dan's share over.

"I'll have it sooner or later!"

The black egg blushed and said loudly.

"Oh, haven't you been. The fat man snorted and shook his head.

"Dead fat!"

"I've had objects. ”

However, even if he was scolded to death by the black egg, the fat man was still unmoved and continued to eat noodles calmly.

"I don't know as much as you. ”

The black egg was once again defeated by the fat man, pouting and turning to take the big sea bowl brought by Huo Bai.

"Dajun, you guys hurry up after eating, maybe you can squint for a while on the way. Lao Zhou saw that the two of them had finally finished arguing, so he put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to the middle-aged man sitting opposite him.

Dajun nodded, took the bowl and drank all the last remaining bit of soup, reached out to wipe his mouth, put down the bowl and walked outside.

The remaining few who were on duty with Dajun also followed the uproar and ate clean, patted the chopsticks, put down the bowl and walked out to catch up with Dajun in front.

Huo Bai watched the backs of several people slowly disappear into the darkness.

"Old Huo, why did you think of making us wontons today?" the black egg poked a wonton from the bowl and turned his head to ask Huo Bai.

"Today, June 6th. ”

"Hey, it's June 6th! It's so fast!" the black egg laughed as he bit into the ravioli.

"It's June 6th......" Lao Zhou took out a cigarette from his coat pocket and lit it.

The fat man sat down and burped after eating, "It's June 6th, and it's almost time for your cousin's baby to take a holiday." The fat man patted his soft belly, "Comfortable!"

Lao Zhou took a puff of cigarette and nodded, "Well, it's almost a holiday, and he is about the same age as my two daughters." Lao Zhou reached for the ashtray on the table and flicked the ash into it.

"Lao Zhou is amazing, there are going to be two college students in the family!" a man who looked like he was in his fifties laughed and joked while holding the bowl in his hand.

Lao Zhou looked down at the cigarette in his hand and smiled reluctantly, "Where, those two little girls are scalping, it's done, don't talk about this, after eating, go back to clean up and go to bed." ”

Lao Zhou snuffed out the unfinished half of the cigarette and stuffed it into his pocket, propped up the table and stood up.

For a while, the sound of stools pushing and pulling on the ground sounded in twos and threes, and the people sitting stood up and walked to the building opposite Huo Bai's food stall.

"Eh, wait for me!" Seeing that everyone was gone, the black egg didn't dare to grind any more, so he picked up the bowl and ate it clean.

After everyone entered the unit door, Huo Bai stood up and began to clean up the table.

Yueban, who had been staying outside the canopy, walked in, and she took the empty bowl in Huo Bai's hand, "Where to wash the dishes?"

Huo Bai nodded on the table, "Put it down, you don't need to wash it." ”

Yueban stubbornly didn't let go, she raised her head and revealed her eyes, this was the first time Huo Bai saw her eyes, and he could vaguely see that they were a pair of beautiful dark brown cat eyes, Yueban was actually not ugly, she was just a little fat to squeeze the facial features on her face, "Boss, you said, I am a zero-hour worker." ”

Huo Bai was helpless, rubbed his forehead, and stretched out his hand to the façade room, "Go there and wash your head." Yueban nodded, hugged the bowl and walked in.

Looking at Huo Bai who walked into the façade room in the middle of the month, he couldn't help but laugh as he sat on the stool.

"Smack!" a little raindrop fell on Huo Bai's canopy.

The clock display hung on the canopy bracket is one o'clock sharp.
