Night 44: Crucian carp soup
People come and go in the food stalls, and the voices are loud. Huo Bai couldn't remember for a while how long he had been here, and it was so lively at such a late hour.
Ah Zhai huddled on the stool and wrapped her legs with Huo Bai's coat, there were too many mosquitoes that kept biting her, and her legs were densely packed with small pimples from mosquito bites, itching her heart and lungs.
"Why are so many mosquitoes !!" once again gave himself a slap on the arm, but the empty house was irritable.
Duan Ping hummed a small tune and leisurely flipped the skewers on the grill, "Why haven't I been bitten by mosquitoes?"
Ah Zhai snorted and pulled his coat up, and the whole person shrank in, hoping to wrap himself up without being bitten by mosquitoes, "That's because you have rough skin and thick flesh, and mosquitoes are not willing to bite you!"
Huo Bai looked at Ah Zhai, who was curled up on the stool in an awkward posture, and sighed helplessly, "Can't you go to stay in the tent?"
She reached out and scratched the mosquito bag on her face, "No! it smells so bad!" she said and frowned in disgust.
"The smell is gone...... Don't believe it yourself. ”
Otaku raised an eyebrow, deciding to take his word for it. She pulled off her coat and threw it into Huo Bai's arms, reached out to open the curtain and sniffed it, it was indeed very faint, and she couldn't smell any smoke if she didn't smell it carefully.
The sky can be seen, there was a table with ten guests sitting around before, and everyone was smoking one after another, as if they were eating and drinking with cigarettes, which was terrible to think about. The air of the whole tent was covered with a gray layer of smoke, and the smoke hurt her eyes.
After watching Ah Zhai step down from the shelf and reach her computer and walk into the tent, Huo Bai reached out and put his coat on the basket with wine bottles on the side.
"Shhh......h
To be honest, he really didn't feel that there were mosquitoes flying around him just now, and Ah Zhai kept yelling that there were mosquitoes, and he thought that she was thinking too much.
Huo Bai scratched the place on his arm that was bitten by a mosquito and chuckled, "She is a personal mosquito coil, where she is there, mosquitoes will bite her if they don't bite others." ”
"Smack!"
"Tsk, no wonder. Duan Ping scratched his face and shook his head, just now a mosquito bit him on the face, and he shook himself with a big mouth.
Duan Ping, who was brushing the sauce on the skewers, was a little puzzled, "It's strange...... I didn't think there were many mosquitoes before, but why did so many mosquitoes suddenly run out in the past two days, where did this come from? ”
"I don't know. Huo Bai took out the fish-flavored shredded pork in the pot and covered it with white rice, and carried it into the tent to serve the food.
"I'll have to order two more plates of mosquito coils. ”
"Whatever you want. ”
At twelve o'clock, the take-out time of the food stalls began, and at this time, there were not many customers still sitting in the tents of the food stalls.
Duan Ping pressed his shoulder and shook his somewhat sore arm, he moved back and forth four or five times today just for wine, "Brother Huo, our business is getting better and better!"
Huo Bai nodded, turned around and squatted to the side, pressed the rice cooker, and took the rice spoon to loosen the rice, "Lao Zhou, they will come over in a while, you go find a pot to roll the soup." ”
Duan Ping laughed, "It's already stewed, I'll stew it on the stove behind me, fish soup!"
Huo Bai turned his head and glanced at him, "You kid is good enough this time, I plan to serve haggis soup today." ”
Duan Ping pulled off the cap on his head, pulled out the towel spread inside, wet his face, "There is only that crucian carp left in the tank, it is not big, and it is not enough to do anything, so I will make a soup by myself." ”
"I'll go get some more in the morning. ”
After Duan Ping wiped his face, he wrung a handful of towels again, covering his face with a cool towel, he breathed a sigh of relief, "There are a lot of people ordering grilled fish today, Brother Huo, you have to order more than usual, at least twice as much." ”
"The fish is gone, so the dishes with fish on the takeaway today can only be taken off the shelves. Huo Bai took out his mobile phone and clicked on it and looked at it, "Are you tired, can you still deliver food later?" Looking at the phone, he stood up and patted Duan Ping's shoulder.
Duan Ping pulled down the towel on his face and put it on top of his head, and smiled and bared out a mouthful of big white teeth, "Brother Huo, how can a man say no!"
Huo Bai withdrew the hand that patted him on the shoulder, "Oh, you can do it." I just came to the list, five skewers of baked potatoes, two skewers of crab sticks, ten skewers of squid flowers and four skewers of grilled squid. ”
"I really can't rest for a moment...... Duan Ping walked to the freezer to get the materials.
"The car keys were on top of the freezer and I took it myself. ”
Duan Ping straightened up with the materials and stretched out his hand to touch the top of the freezer, "Hey, Brother Huo, what do you want to put the car keys here?
"The average thief is as tall as you?"
"That's right. ”
"There are two more lists, one in the south and one in the north, and one in the west, which is three-legged. ”
Duan Ping put the skewers on the grill, and carried the oil brush to brush the oil on it, "What's this, go around in order, you can't believe my car skills." ”
Huo Bai stuck his mobile phone on the stand he bought not long ago, wiped his hands with a towel and made hot and sour noodles, "You take it easy, don't go to the place where the takeaway is all spilled, pay attention to safety on the road, remember the first, set, want, obey, abide by, traffic rules." ”
You must abide by these four words Huo Bai said it word by word, Duan Ping is sometimes an anxious person, if he doesn't say it, maybe this kid will run the red light when he sees that he doesn't have enough time.
"Brother Huo, who am I? That's the five good young people who grew up under the red flag, don't worry, you can. Duan Ping pressed the squid against the hot iron plate and smiled at Huo Bai.
"Where's the face?"
"Didn't I take my face away from the cat boss?"
After baking the skewers and packing them, and then taking a hot and sour powder and a spicy hot pot handed over by Huo Bai, Duan Ping easily threw away the car keys in his hand and drove to deliver takeaways.
Ah Zhai in the tent ran out again, "Chicken soup Huo, you finally want to open it and start making takeout?" The mobile phone she was holding in her hand showed the takeout interface.
"Hmm. ”
Ah Zhai rubbed over and pulled the strap of his apron and smiled, "What, you see I'm so cute and your own sister, look ......"
Huo Bai pulled the apron strap out of her hand with her back, "If there is anything, just say it, you girl don't move your hands and feet." ”
"Oh......" Otaku pouted, "That...... I'm here to work for you to deliver takeaways~ I have a little electric donkey~"
"What?" Huo Bai glanced up at her, "I don't have any money again." ”
Ah Zhai lowered his head and was embarrassed to scratch and pull on the ground with the soles of his shoes, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Oh, you're hitting the streets again. Huo Bai said, "It's okay, writing an essay depends on talent, and your skill points are not on it." ”
"Damn, are you my brother!, hurt me so much!" Ah Zhai looked at Huo Bai with wide eyes and an accusatory expression, although what he said was not wrong at all, but it did not mean that she could accept him to say it so bluntly.
Huo Bai raised his head and glanced at his phone, oh, there is a new order again. Unhurriedly, he reached out and clicked on his phone, turned around and took a pot of cleaned crayfish.
Putting down the basin containing crayfish, Huo Bai turned on the hot pot, "It's because I'm your brother that I say that, why don't you give up?"
Ah Zhai was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips, and didn't know what she thought of, she pulled the hair hanging down her ears irritably, "You know what else to ask......
Huo Bai threw a handful of peppercorns into the pot and stir-fried them, "You always have to come out, it's all so big." He looked at the pot with a faint look in his eyes.
"You still say me, what about yourself?" Ah Zhai replied to him unconvinced.
"I'm fine now. ”
". Ah Zhai laughed, what a ghost, obviously not good at all.
The crayfish were packed out of the pot, and Duan Ping also came back.
"Crayfish, Pear State Garden. Huo Bai reached out and handed over the crayfish in his hand.
Duan Ping took the crayfish and left without saying a word.
Strange? He was fine before he left, but why did he come back with a cold face now? Who messed with him?
Huo Bai couldn't figure it out.
After a while, Lao Zhou and they came.
Lao Zhou walked last, and the workers who came with him saw him stop outside the tent and didn't go in, so they asked him, "Lao Zhou, why don't you go in?"
Lao Zhou pinched the cigarette butts on his fingertips and laughed dryly, "You guys go in first, I'll blow the wind for a while." ”
His excuse is not bad, even though it is cooler in the tent, he still chooses to stand outside to blow the wind.
Seeing that Lao Zhou seemed to have something to say, he didn't dwell on this issue, opened the curtain and walked in, he was really tired from a day's work, so he hurried back to eat and rest.
After Lao Zhou saw that everyone had entered, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand and walked to Huo Bai's side and asked in a low voice, "Boss Huo...... Do you know how to make cakes?"
Huo Bai stopped holding the soup pot with crucian carp soup, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Lao Zhou rubbed his hands and smiled, "What, Ming'er is Mingwa's birthday, didn't I want to get him a cake to taste, isn't it Duxing now?"
"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow. Huo Bai thought that this was not an embarrassing request and agreed.
"Thank you, thank you really!" Lao Zhou smiled even more happily, the wrinkles on his face were piled up with a smile, he said thank you Huo Bai while stuffing money into the pocket of his apron, and after stuffing the money, he reached out and took the soup pot in Huo Bai's hand and entered the tent.
Huo Bai reached out and took out the money in the pocket of his apron and looked at it, two red banknotes, where is a cake used so much? He shook his head, and said in his heart that he would return the money to Lao Zhou in a while, he meant to take some material money, and a cake would not cost him anything.
Lao Zhou walked into the tent with a soup pot, "Today is fish soup, the food is good." ”
"Lao Zhou, if you come late, the food will be gone!"
"What are you afraid of, I can't eat the vegetables, and I can't swallow the fish in this pot alone. ”
