"Boss, good evening!" After the fat man and Lao Zhang left, a girl in a long red dress walked in with another boy in a suit.

"Good evening, it's you. Liu Mang, who was washing dishes in the back kitchen, looked up and said.

This girl and boy are regular customers he has been here since he first opened the store, and the last time he ordered it seemed to be Malatang.

Because the girl and the boy quarreled and broke up, Liu Mang still remembers it vividly.

"Boss, let's have a spicy hot. The girl pulled the boy and sat down at the bar.

"Sorry, not today. ”

"Ah, no?" said the boy, a little disappointed.

"Well, no, but you can try today's new dish. Liu Mang pointed to the blackboard on the wall.

"Magic mapo tofu?" The boy was stunned: "Isn't that a dish from the little master's house?"

"Uh...... I chose the name according to the anime, but the dishes were created by me. ”

"Really, shall we eat this?" the girl asked the boy for advice.

"No problem, listen to you. The boy nodded: "Boss, how much is it?"

"50 servings, rice free. Liu Mang replied.

"Alright, get us one. ”

"Okay, you wait a minute. Liu Mang pulled a handkerchief, wiped his hands, and walked to the stove.

"Boss, thank you so much last time. After waiting for a while, the boy said a little shyly.

"Thank me for what?" Liu Mang looked surprised.

"It was last time, the two of us quarreled and were about to break up, and it was what you said that made me firm again. ”

"What did I say?" replied Liu Mang as he cut the tofu.

"You say fate is a wonderful thing, and many times, we have met and we don't know it, and then we come full circle and come back here. Everything is a chance or a certainty. Therefore, everyone we meet in our lives should be cherished, because you don't know why this short encounter will end abruptly, and then they will make mistakes with each other, and when they meet again, they find that they can never go back to the past......" The boy repeated what Liu Mang had said to him word by word.

"Uh...... I seemed to be saying it so casually, I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly. ”

"So we're here to thank you today. The girl smiled: "Now we work in the same company, as long as we work hard, I believe we will slowly get better in the future." ”

"Well, life is not that difficult, and many times we are just daunted by ourselves. ”

"Boss, how can you say it casually, it's a good life principle?

"Yes, I'll just say it casually" Liu Mang responded, put the pot on the stove, put in the bean paste and stir-fry until fragrant, and then put the cut tofu in.

"Boss, why is the tofu green?" the boy wondered.

"Oh, I made this tofu myself. Rest assured, this color comes from a natural fruit, not a pigment. Liu Mang explained.

"Really?" the girl couldn't help but lick her lips as she stared at the hot pot's steaming tofu.

Reduce the juice on high heat, thicken the thickener, sprinkle with peppercorn powder and green garlic leaves, and a plate of fragrant 'magic mapo tofu' is completed.

"It smells so good!" the boy sniffed.

"Give. Liu Mang then handed over two bowls of rice.

The boy picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of tofu, and brought it to the girl's bowl.

The girl picks up a piece of tofu and puts it in her mouth.

"Is it delicious?" the boy asked.

"Hmm...... Well......" The girl closed her eyes slightly, and her face was intoxicated: "It's delicious, it's really delicious!"

Not to mention the taste of tofu, just the hidden aroma of bamboo fruit in it can make people wander out of the world and get carried away.

The boy also picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth, and the delicious taste immediately wrapped his tongue, causing the taste buds on the tip of his tongue to tremble with pleasure.

"It's delicious!" the boy swallowed a piece of tofu and immediately took another big bite of rice, so beautiful that his eyes narrowed.

"You eat slowly, the rice is here, scoop it as you like. Liu Mang put a pot of freshly cooked rice on the bar, walked out of the bar by himself, pushed open the wooden door, and went outside to breathe.

Today's weather is good, the moon is bright and the stars are thin, and the cool night breeze blows across the cheeks, making people feel very comfortable.

The fruit shop opposite was playing a song, accompanied by the night breeze, sending it into Liu Mang's eardrums.

I want you, you're by my side

I want you to make up for me

The wind is blowing this night

Tickle my heart, my lover

I'm in a foreign country, looking at the moon......

"Really? Hee-hee, I'm ...... too."

The laughter of boys and girls came from the store, and the corners of Liu Mang's mouth rose slightly, and he also smiled.

"Boss. Just as Liu Mang was distracted, Liu Chang with a guitar on his back and Cui Niu'er with an African drum came over from the alley.

"You're here. ”

"Well, I haven't been here for a few days, what kind of dishes did you cook today?" asked Liu Chang.

"Mapo tofu. ”

"Home cooking?" Liu Chang was stunned.

"What's wrong with home-cooked food? The boss can make fried rice so delicious. Cui Niu'er glanced at Liu Chang.

"Go in and sit. ”

"Good. ”

"There's a guest. The two followed Liu Mang into the store, Cui Niu'er said.

"Hello. The girl removed the bag from the stool to make room for them.

"Thank you. ”

Soon, Liu Mang sent the finished tofu to Liu Chang and Cui Niu'er.

"Wow, this mapo tofu is different from the outside! it's actually green!" Cui Niu'er exclaimed.

"The boss said that the tofu was homemade with a green fruit added to it. The boy next to him said.

"Really? That's going to have to be a taste. Liu Chang directly picked up the spoon and scooped a piece of tofu into his mouth.

"It's delicious! It's delicious! Cui Niu, you can taste it!" As soon as the tofu was in his mouth, Liu Chang immediately praised it.

In order to highlight the natural fragrance of bamboo fruit, Liu Mang's mapo tofu deliberately controls the amount of bean paste and peppercorn powder.

After experiencing a slightly spicy and slightly numb sensation on the tip of the tongue, the tender feeling of tofu fills the mouth, followed by the aroma of bamboo fruit, and every time you chew, you feel as if you are walking in a bamboo forest with fresh air.

"The boss's craftsmanship is really amazing!" Cui Niu'er's eyes smiled like a crescent moon, completely immersed in the taste of mapo tofu.

"Goodbye, boss. The boy and girl finished their share of mapo tofu and stood up.

"Well, welcome next time. Liu Mang smiled and nodded, then stretched out his hand: "I wish you happiness." ”

"Thank you. The girl and boy clasped their fingers together, and their faces were sweet.

"Boss, we'll come often. ”

"Boss, we're gone too. After a while, Liu Chang and Cui Niu'er also finished eating.

"Boss, come and see us tomorrow. ”

"This time it's not a roadshow, it's indoors. Liu Chang took out a ticket from his pocket and handed it to Liu Mang.

"Congratulations, I'm here for sure. Liu Mang took the ticket and nodded.
