At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, it is the best time for Huo Bai's food stall business. Standing outside the food stalls and looking at the past, every table was full.

"Big brother, it's him!" The little gangster who came to make trouble in the afternoon walked over with a big man with a big gold chain around his neck, and after walking to the door of Huo Bai's food stall, he pointed at Huo Bai and shouted loudly.

The flower-armed man stepped forward and looked Huo Bai up and down, "You...... Is that the boss here?"

Huo Bai nodded while stir-frying, "En." ”

The big man grinned, "Yes, the brothers snatched his mobile phone and smashed it for me! The worse it is, the better!" The big man raised his hand and waved, and several eager little brothers rushed up and entangled Huo Bai together, and also touched the mobile phone on his body. And the customers in the food stalls dispersed in a hurry after realizing that something was wrong.

What is left of the food stalls, except for the scattered tables, chairs, and benches, is the leftovers on the table.

"Smack——!

"Whoa——!

"Knock——! pop ——!"

"Bang-"

For a while, the food stalls were filled with all kinds of smashing sounds.

"The strip is coming!" shouted ——! a young man who was standing guard not far from the food stall.

The big man raised his hand, "Withdraw!" Before leaving, the big man condescendingly glanced at Huo Bai, who was pressed to the ground by the younger brothers and couldn't move, "There are not so many things to know each other, don't you say that you are angry and wealthy?"

The next moment, the big man ran away with his younger brothers, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

After all those people left, Huo Bai stood up with his dislocated arm, "Chicken soup Huo, are you okay?" asked Ah Zhai, who was hiding upstairs, cautiously poked his head out.

"It's okay, thank you for helping call the police. ”

"You're welcome...... But your store has been smashed like this...... Are you still open?"

Huo Bai limped and picked up a stool that could still be used and sat down, "Open, why don't you open it." As he spoke, he picked up the dislocated arm with a single force.

"Hello, someone just called the police to say that there are people here picking quarrels and provoking trouble. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

"Please go back with us and take a note. ”

"Okay, trouble. ”

Ah Zhai, who was lying by the window, saw Huo Bai leaving with the police, and immediately shouted: "Wait, I'll go too." ”

After making the transcript, Ah Zhai and Huo Bai returned to the food stall.

Before he could get closer, Huo Bai noticed that there were many people walking around his food stall, "Who? thief?" Ah Zhai obviously found those people too, she hid behind him and poked him in the back. "I didn't have anything to steal, it was all smashed. Huo Bai was helpless, obviously he couldn't be a thief.

If you really want to say it, it's better to pick up the rags.

The gang smashed his pot through.

When Huo Bai got closer, he saw who was in the food stall, it turned out that Huang Mao and his younger brothers were helping him clean up the mess in that place.

"Boss Huo......" Huang Mao, who was directing the younger brothers to be nimble, looked at Huo Bai and Ah Zhai who came over, and rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, "This ...... Sorry...... Really sorry ......."

Hearing this, Ah Zhai suddenly walked out from behind Huo Bai and blocked in front of him, "I'm sorry? I'm sorry? I'm sorry, you're done? Phew! It's all your bastards' fault! Boss Huo's shop is running well, and someone smashed him indiscriminately, I heard that ...... Oh, by the way, you're the same Brother Chang, right? What else Brother Chang, I think it's a long worm!"

The petite Ah Zhai stood in front of Huo Bai and said that Huang Mao was speechless.

Ah Zhai is right, Boss Huo was all affected by him. Huang Mao wiped his face, "Boss Huo, I will compensate you in full for your losses!"

Huo Bai waved his hand, "Okay, I'll pay when your own affairs are dealt with, and I won't be able to open a store for the time being." Ah Zhai couldn't help muttering: "Chicken soup Huo, why are you so kind......"

"Thank you, Boss Huo, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. Huang Mao looked at Huo Bai with a solemn face and promised him.

"Yes. ”

The next day, Huo Bai got up from the bed according to the same biological clock as usual.

After getting up, Huo Bai habitually wanted to push out the freezer in the store and prepare to open the store.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he remembered that his shop had been smashed to the ground last night, and there was no way to open it.

"The owner...... Are you going to open a store?Do you want to help?" Huo Bai looked up and saw Changsheng standing at the door of his store with a cramped and uneasy face.

"Not for now. ”

Changsheng heard his answer and asked sullenly, "Boss...... Am I a dead star?"

Huo Bai didn't hear what he said clearly, "What did you say?" ”

"Nothing, I'll come back. In the end, he dropped such a sentence and ran away.

Two months is enough time for Huo Bai to reopen the store, and it is also enough for Huang Mao to successfully transform and no longer be a gangster.

However, in the past two months, Huo Bai has never seen Huang Mao or Changsheng again, but one day when he was listening to the small talk of the guests, he knew that the flower-armed man who came to make trouble that day had entered the bureau.

Now, two months later, Changsheng has fulfilled his promise.

"Boss Huo. At 10 o'clock eleven, a familiar voice sounded.

"Can I charter this spot?"

Huo Bai looked at the time on his phone and nodded, "Yes, it's only until eleven fifty." ”

"Good. ”

The person who came was the yellow hair of the past, and now he has dyed his hair back to black, and he is dressed no different from an ordinary office worker, and there is no trace of flow on his body. However, he looked preoccupied and tired.

"Boss Huo. Huang Mao took out two thick red envelopes from his arms and handed them to Huo Bai, Huo Bai raised his eyebrows, "What?"

"This one is mine, this one is my brother's. Huang Mao explained to him with a red envelope in one hand.

"Your brother has already given it. Huo Bai stretched out his finger and pointed to the black backpack that was on the side.

Huang Mao turned his head to look at the backpack and was stunned, "When?"

"He left five or six minutes before you came. At this time, Ah Zhai, who had just finished eating the casserole, came over with an empty bowl, "Yo! Isn't this who? I only came here for two months, and I thought you were going to pay the bill." "Ah Zhai is not afraid of him at all, because she looks at him very unpleasantly.

"Chicken soup Huo, I'm leaving. ”

"Yes. ”

Disgusted with the yellow hair, Ah Zhai swaggered into the unit building opposite.

"What about your men?" said Huang Mao to charter the venue, but he was the only one who came.

"These days, they accompany me every day to work overtime and get tired, so they go back to rest first. …… Can't one person charter the venue?" Huang Mao hesitated. "No, of course, what can you eat? Malatang?" Huo Bai said as he reached out and turned off the red advertising sign.

"Well, I want coriander and sesame seeds, and then a fried snail. ”

"What do you want to eat in Malatang, go and get it yourself. Huo Bai took out a wok and prepared to fry the snails.

By the time Huang Mao had chosen what he wanted to add to Malatang, the snails on Huo Bai's side had already been out of the pot.

Reaching out to take the basket handed over by Huang Mao to put the materials, Huo Bai glanced at the type and couldn't help but tease: "It's exactly the same as what you usually eat, why did you choose it for so long?"

"Is it the same?" Huang Mao was slightly stunned.

"It's the same, nothing has changed. Huo Bai threw the most difficult ingredients into the pot and boiled them first. "I thought I had changed a lot. Huang Mao said with a smile.

"The change is really big, from a rough old man to a weak scholar all of a sudden. Huo Bai stared at the ingredients in the pot and said without looking back.

"Really......"

"You sit down and eat first, and it's good to be spicy for a while. ”

The method of Malatang is very simple, and it can also be said to be a simple version of hot pot. Huang Mao is not very spicy, so Huo Bai uses a soup base of large bones and mushrooms with chicken and duck broth, at the beginning of the first scalded meatballs and meat that are not easy to cook, and then put the easy-to-cook materials when the meat is almost eight medium-cooked.

Huang Mao's spicy tang contains tribute balls, shrimp cakes, flowering sausages, shutters, kelp, beef meatballs, small green vegetables, potato chips, tenderloin, wide noodles and enoki mushrooms. Huang Mao eats these kinds every time he eats Malatang, and there is no exception.

Blanch all the ingredients and put them in a bowl with the broth, then sprinkle a handful of fragrant white sesame seeds and some coriander and you're done.

"Thank you. Huang Mao took the bowl that Huo Bai brought over.

"You're welcome. ”

"Boss Huo, is it spicy?" Huo Bai hadn't taken two steps before he heard Huang Mao ask behind him.

"There is one on the table. Although Huo Bai was also curious about why a person who had never eaten spicy food suddenly ate spicy, he did not choose to ask the reason.

Huang Mao shook his head, "I want something spicier." ”

Huo Bai took a towel to wipe his sweat, and looked down at the time displayed on his phone, "Yes, wait a minute." He turned around and walked into the front room, and after a while he walked out with a small stack of chili sauce.

"Give. The small plate was placed in front of Huang Mao.

Huang Mao looked at the stack of bright red chili sauce in front of him and suddenly froze. Huo Bai didn't care about him, leaving him alone to immerse himself in his thoughts, he had to start preparing Lao Zhou's dinner.

Huang Mao, who was stunned for a while, picked up a little chili sauce with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and as soon as he entered it, he couldn't help coughing loudly, "cough——!cough, cough, cough, cough——!——,cough, However, even at night, there is a warmth in the air.

However, even though his face was flushed with spicy and tears and snot flowed together, Huang Mao still didn't give up, he poured half of those chili sauces into the fried screws, and half into the spicy tang.

Later, Huo Bai's ears were always covered with yellow hair, coughing after two bites, or constantly inhaling. Huo Bai didn't understand why Huang Mao tortured himself so much, in his opinion, people who couldn't eat spicy food forced themselves to eat spicy food, that was a kind of torture.

At eleven forty-three, the sweaty yellow hair had eaten all the spicy tang and fried snails, his lips were red and swollen from the chili peppers, and his eyes and nose were also red, and he looked embarrassed.

"Hiss——, Huo, Boss Huo, knot, hiss-hiss-huh, hiss-ha-checkout. ”

After Huo Bai finished collecting the money, he looked at the back of Huang Mao, who felt that he was suddenly in a very good mood, and left in thought.

It's so uncomfortable, and the mood will get better? He couldn't see it.
