Sixteenth night: Steamed bread slices
"Boss, do you have ravioli today?" asked a girl with short hair, standing on the side of the stove at a food stall.
"Nope. ”
The girl was very disappointed, "Why is it not ......?"
Since this girl had eaten duck soup wontons here for the first time with her friends, she came to ask Huo Bai every day if he had any wontons today. For the first few days, her friends would accompany her, but after a long time, this girl was the only one who came.
The girl who knew that there were no wontons habitually complained and left, "Profiteer Huo, why don't you continue to pack some wontons and sell them? It's rare that Ah Zhai, who didn't go out in the middle of the night, sat in his seat and ate the sauce beef that had just come out of the pot, "Are you doing hunger marketing?"
Huo Bai was busy wrapping the sauce beef in the pot with a thin and uniform layer of caramel, and he didn't have time to pay attention to her for the time being.
"Oh~ I know!Hehe~ Have you taken a fancy to others? So you've been hanging on to other people's appetites, so I let you see each other every day and solve your lovesickness?" Seeing that Huo Bai didn't answer, Ah Zhai chewed the beef and squeezed his eyebrows, and smiled teasingly.
Huo Bai moved the processed beef to the grill on the side and roasted it slowly, paying attention to the heat, and at the same time scolded Ah Zhai without being salty, "No wonder the novel you wrote is not popular." ”
Ah Zhai covered his chest with a frightened face, "Stick in the knife Huo! You, you, you are so poisonous!" However, Huo Bai didn't react to her at all, "No! I have suffered a very huge mental injury!
Speaking of this, she narrowed her eyes and stretched out her hand to geek, "You see, I don't want much." Just the basket of beef sauce on your table, how about it?
"You can lie on the table for a while. Huo Bai didn't want to pay attention to the house that had convulsions from time to time.
"Why~" She tried to open her eyes wide and sell cuteness to Huo Bai, hoping that he would be soft-hearted and promise herself. Huo Bai turned his head away from looking at Ah Zhai's stupid appearance, "It's not dark yet, you can sleep for a while." ”
When it came to this, Ah Zhai also reacted to what Huo Bai meant, "You just daydream! Hmph, you just wait to be single for the rest of your life! You deserve to be dumped by the girl!"
"Yes, I deserve it. Huo Bai's eyes did not fluctuate at all.
Ah Zhai began to regret it when he finished speaking, and accidentally sprinkled a handful of salt on other people's wounds, "En...... I'm sorry......" Huo Bai put the prepared sauced beef into a large basket and covered it with a vegetable cover, "It's okay." ”
"Ahem, what's that...... There will be a comic exhibition in the square opposite in two days, will you come to Chicken Soup?" Ah Zhai felt very embarrassed and changed the topic stiffly.
Huo Bai shook his head, "Don't go." ”
"Why don't you go, it doesn't conflict with your business hours at all, besides, there are many beautiful young ladies on the scene, you ......" Speaking of this, Ah Zhai suddenly stopped, "I suddenly remembered that the gas at my house was not turned off, so I went back first." With that, she staggered into the opposite unit building in two steps.
Ah Zhai has never set fire in her own house, and she is a complete kitchen killer. If it weren't for Huo Bai's "careful teaching" a few years ago, it is estimated that she would be able to destroy the kitchen by boiling water with an electric kettle. It was even more impossible for that thing to exist in her house, but Huo Bai didn't want to demolish her.
"You, hello......" A thin young man standing not far from Huo Bai with a big bag on his back asked in a low voice. He spread his feet apart and looked like he was going to run at any moment.
"Is there something wrong?" Huo Bai wiped his sweat with a towel and turned his head to look at the young man.
The young man took a small step back, his face flushed, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time, "I, I...... Please...... Excuse me, this, Zhou Zhou, Zhou Jianguo......"
After hearing Zhou Jianguo's three words, Huo Bai suddenly remembered what Lao Zhou had told him before he left this morning, Huo Bai walked around the stove and walked out, "You are the child of Lao Zhou's cousin's family, right?"
"Yes, yes. ”
Huo Bai smiled kindly, "Don't be so afraid, you stay with me first." Lao Zhou specially transferred his shift today, and he will get off work after a while. ”
The young man suspiciously took down the bag he was carrying, hugged it in his arms, and sat down at the table in the corner of Huo Bai's food stall.
The young man's behavior made Huo Bai couldn't help but touch his face, he looked so much like a bad guy? No, he was actually very amiable and talkative.
A cheerful voice came, "Son~!" As soon as Huo Bai heard this voice, he knew that it was Daddy Huo coming, and he turned around and took out a stack of small snacks that were suitable for Daddy Huo to pass the time and put them in the place where he usually sits.
Father Huo smiled and walked to the table and sat down. Then, he turned his head and looked around. Seeing that there were no talents around, he beckoned to Huo Bai and motioned for him to come over.
He put his hands to his mouth and whispered in Huo Bai's ear: "Son, I saw your mother last night, and she said that I was fat!
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
Hearing Huo Bai's words echoing him, Father Huo suddenly became a little unhappy, "No, no, you should say that your mother and I are not fat!"
"It's me who is not good, a slip of the tongue. Neither of you are fat, I am fat. ”
Father Huo nodded thoughtfully, with a teachable expression, "That's right, look at you are so fat! Your mother doesn't like fat people. After speaking, he took the chopsticks and ate a small snack by himself.
Huo Bai doesn't have a beer belly, and there may be someone else who has a beer belly.
The young man in the corner watched it all with his eyes open. He looked at Father Huo for a while, and then at Huo Bai again, with a confused look on his face.
Huo Bai, who walked to the stove, saw the caretaker who followed Father Huo, the caretaker was a relatively silent young man, and he could generally not speak without talking. If he had to speak, he would never say anything that could be said in a few words.
Every time Ah Zhai met this caretaker, she couldn't help but tease him, wanting to see him break his skills, although she had not succeeded once so far.
"Medical exam. Huo Bai took the physical examination list of Daddy Huo handed over by the nurse and looked at it twice, "Okay, I know." I'll take notice. ”
The nurse nodded at Huo Bai and left in style, sometimes Huo Bai felt that he had to ask for a nursing fee.
Daddy Huo doesn't need him to worry about anything, prepare snacks for him, and he can be happy all day by himself.
At six o'clock, the number of people in Huo Bai's food stall gradually increased.
"Uncle!" The young man who had been holding his backpack tightly recognized Lao Zhou from the crowd at a glance, and he ran towards him with his bag in small steps.
Lao Zhou looked at the young man running over and grinned, reached out and took the bag in his arms and carried it on his shoulder, "How long has Mingwa been here?"
Mingwa followed behind Lao Zhou, "It's only been a while since I came, I'm not very hungry...... As soon as he finished saying that he wasn't very hungry, Mingwa's stomach sang about the empty city plan, he stretched out his hand to cover his stomach and smiled embarrassedly.
Lao Zhou turned around and patted Mingwa's shoulder, "If you're hungry, just say it, be polite to your uncle." It's time for the young man to grow his body, so it's time to eat. Saying that, Lao Zhou took Mingwa and walked directly in the direction of Huo Bai, "Let's go, Uncle will take you to eat delicious food, and order what you want to eat." ”
"No, uncle......" Mingwa wanted to refuse, but Lao Zhou turned his head and glared at him, "What's the matter? Uncle can't pick you up and wash the dust." ”
"It's awkward like a girl, go, eat. Lao Zhou patted Mingwa on the shoulder and asked him to move forward.
Huo Bai was standing in front of the grill roasting oysters for the guests. "Mingwa, what do you want to eat?" Lao Zhou stood in front of the grill and asked Mingwa behind him.
"Do you have any steamed buns?"
"Yes, how many?" Huo Bai asked as he squeezed lemon juice into the oysters.
Mingwa was asked, he didn't know how to answer, and looked at Lao Zhou at a loss.
After estimating the amount of food for a young man of Mingwa's age, Lao Zhou said to Huo Bai: "Let's have six skewers first, and then some sauce beef you said last time." ”
"Okay, just find a place to sit for a while. ”
Lao Zhou nodded, and found a seat with Mingwa and sat down.
After Huo Bai sent the roasted oysters to the guests, he quickly put on the things that Lao Zhou and them ordered, and took a bottle of soda from the box on the side and sent it over.
"I'll give you a drink. Putting down the roasted steamed bun slices sauce beef and soda, Huo Bai said.
"Lao Huo, thank you. ”
Huo Bai waved his hand indifferently, "What's polite, you eat slowly." ”
The roasted slightly browned steamed bread slices are skewered on bamboo skewers to exude the fragrance of wheat, and three steamed bread slices are skewered on every two skewers, and one steamed bread slice is the size of half a adult girl's palm. Six skewers, which should be enough for a boy.
Mingwa smelled the roasted steamed bun slices and sauced beef on the table that unscrupulously exuded its own fragrance, and his stomach screamed even louder.
"See if I can see enough? What are you doing, eating. Lao Zhou smiled and took a skewer of steamed bread slices roasted with some crispy roasts sprinkled with white sesame seeds on top and stuffed them into the hands of Mingwa, who was sitting in place and didn't dare to stretch out his hand.
Mingwa took the steamed bun slices and stuffed them into her mouth and took a bite, some of them were crunchy and very chewy. If you chew it in your mouth for a while, you can still taste the sweetness of wheat, and the steamed bread slices still have sesame seeds on them, not to mention the taste when you bite into it.
Mingwa felt that he could eat a hundred slices of this steamed bun without stopping in one go, "Sandwich the beef and try it again." Lao Zhou took chopsticks and ordered the sauced beef on the plate.
Mingwa nodded, picked up a piece of thinly and evenly sliced beef with chopsticks, and sandwiched it between the two steamed bread slices. One bite down, it is the crispiness of the steamed bread slices themselves and the aroma of wheat sesame seeds, and two more bites are the rich taste of sauce beef, Mingwa can't describe the taste, he only knows that it is very delicious.
The more I ate, the more delicious I felt, Mingwa ate it all without paying attention, and Lao Zhou on the side didn't eat a bite. Mingwa looked at her empty plate and lowered her head in shame.
Lao Zhou laughed and patted Mingwa's shoulder, "Okay, it's a blessing to be able to eat! Eat more to have strength and a strong body!"
"Let's go, go back and rest for a while, and come to work with us tomorrow." After settling the account, Lao Zhou took Mingwa into the unit building opposite.
