Huo Bai returned to the store after delivering breakfast to Daddy Huo and drove out of his van.

Every day after closing, he would personally drive to the old vegetable market to bring back the aquatic pork and the like he had ordered the day before.

It's a little later than usual today.

"Boss Huo is early, go out?" When he was about to leave the intersection, an old lady in an orange sanitation suit said hello to Huo Bai in the car.

Huo Bai rolled down the window, "Well, go out and buy goods." You and Uncle Liu didn't come this morning, I'll put the baffle at the door of the store for breakfast, you remember to eat. ”

"Hey, do you remember? Thank you. This morning, Old Man Liu fell and I was taken to the hospital. "The old lady's surname is Zhu, and she is a sanitation worker in this area.

No matter how windy or rainy Huo Bai is, there will be a hot breakfast before five o'clock every day, which is cheap and delicious, and the old lady has become a frequent visitor here after coming once.

"You stay safe, I'll go first. ”

Huo Bai glanced at the time, stretched out his hand and rolled up the window.

"Be careful on the road. ”

At half past six, Huo Bai arrived at his destination.

"Boss Huo is here, I thought you weren't here today. Huo Bai walked to the store where he ordered something, and the owner of the store was sharp-eyed, and walked out of the store to greet him as soon as he saw him.

"Why is it so late tonight? I'll sell something to someone else if you come a little later." The boss said while giving Huo Bai the things he ordered from the store.

Huo Bai lowered his head to check the freshness of the aquatic products to make sure that there were no dead fish and dead shrimp mixed in it, "There was something wrong in the morning, I forgot to say hello to you in advance." ”

The boss listened to his words, smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, how many years of old friendship." I'll keep it for you for as many nights as possible, how can I really sell it to others. ”

"I still have some crabs here today, Boss Huo, do you want to come for a few catties?"

At this time, the crab was not very fat, and it didn't taste very good, but as soon as he heard the boss say this, he remembered a dish he saw yesterday when he read the recipe, and it was not bad to buy a few and go back to taste it.

Huo Bai calculated the budget in his hand, and then nodded, "Okay, let's have a few, I'll go back and try a new dish." ”

"Yo~ Boss Huo is coming out with a new dish again, do you want me to help you try it?" The fat boss who was sitting at the door selling seafood heard Huo Bai say this, and couldn't help but come over to have fun.

"How can Boss Huo let you eat? Just like you, no matter how delicious things are, what can you say in your mouth?" The fat boss's wife walked out of his store and poked his head.

The fat boss touched the mark poked by his wife and smirked, "Hehe, that's not what I said." Boss Huo has a new dish, remember to let us go to the party. ”

Huo Bai settled the account, nodded and said hello, then lifted the box on the ground and moved it to the trunk of his car.

The fat boss's wife saw that Huo Bai could easily lift those boxes that looked particularly heavy by himself, and her face was not red, and she sighed: "Boss Huo has a lot of strength." ”

He glanced back at his middle-aged husband again, raised his hand and patted him, "Look at you, how fat you have become, you have to breathe for a long time when you go home and climb the stairs!"

"My name is rich, and I know at a glance that I have a comfortable life. The fat boss straightened his chest and looked at his wife proudly.

"Isn't it, you know all day long that you eat and sleep, and you sleep and eat. His wife glanced at him and went back to the store.

After Huo Bai finished taking the aquatic products, he went to the other end of the vegetable market to get the chicken, duck, pork and mutton he ordered.

By the time he had brought everything back to the car, it was already past seven o'clock.

Drive back to the food stall, take everything out of the trunk, freeze it, and marinate it with spices.

Fresh seafood is put into the store's oxygen pump tank.

He was busy until more than eight o'clock, when Huo Bai took a shower and returned to the store to rest in a small room that was separated, and it was not until this time that his day was officially over.

At half past three in the afternoon, an annoying bell rang in a dimly lit and narrow room. A large hand grabbed the phone and crossed out the alarm clock.

Huo Bai squinted at the time on the screen, half past three, "Ha~ah~" Then, he yawned and got up from the bed with his eyes half-open, dressed and washed and cooked for himself by the way.

His day began again.

At around 3:50, Huo Bai began to prepare the ingredients to be used to open the store in the afternoon, such as noodles for fried noodles and crayfish that needed to be cleaned in advance.

At half past four, Huo Bai heard a knock on the door.

"Brother Huo, is Brother Huo there?"

Huo Bai opened the door, and the one standing at the door and knocking on the door was Ake, the son of the old Wu Tou, who brought him food every day.

When Ake saw the door open, he looked at him with a guilty face and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Huo, the car broke down halfway today, so I delivered the food so late." ”

Huo Bai nodded in understanding, "It's okay, you can unload all the dishes, and settle this month's account by the way." ”

"Brother Huo, why don't I help you wash the vegetables? I'm a good hand at washing the vegetables at home, fast and clean!" After unloading the goods, Ake came over with the bill, he was still a little guilty, after all, he was the one who delayed Huo Bai to open the store.

Huo Bai checked the numbers on the bill, "Cash or I transferred it to you?"

"Transfers. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Let's cut all the dishes by two next month. Huo Bai handed back the list in his hand.

Ah Ke's face turned red when he heard this, "Huo, Boss Huo, don't, I didn't mean it this time!

Huo Bai patted his head, "What are you thinking! Business has not been good lately, and I can't use so many dishes." ”

"Alright, let's go back. ”

Ako scratched his head, turned around and walked halfway and turned back, "No, Brother Huo, I'll wash the vegetables for you, otherwise I won't be happy." ”

Huo Bai saw that he insisted, but still agreed, "Okay." ”

Before five o'clock, Huo Bai finally made all the preparations with the help of Ake.

"Goo~Goo~" Ako touched his rumbling stomach and looked at Huo Bai and smiled embarrassedly.

"Would you like something to eat?"

"No, my dad made a big table of good dishes today!" said this, Arko's eyebrows fluttered, and joy seemed to overflow from his face.

"Something good?"

Huo Bai raised his eyebrows.

"Hey, my girlfriend came to my house for dinner today!"

Arco grinned and let out a mouthful of large white teeth.

"Congratulations. ”

"Well, thank you. Brother Huo, I'm leaving! Please eat candy next month!"

Got on the three-wheeled Arco and turned around and drove out.

"Be careful on the road. ”

"Hey!"

Huo Bai stood in place and stretched, five o'clock, it was time for him to start business.

After setting up the stall of the food stall, Huo Bai sat on the stool and continued to read the recipe he hadn't finished reading.

"Boss, two bowls of ravioli. ”

Huo Bai looked up, and it was the two girls who were eating wontons at his place yesterday, "There are no wontons today." ”

The short-haired girl said with a look of pity: "Why didn't you have it today......"

"Sold out yesterday, no package today. ”

The long-haired girl on the side took her arm and walked out, "There are no wontons for sale, let's go." ”

The short-haired girl replied in a low voice, she was pulled and walked a few steps before turning back and asking, "Boss, when will your family still sell wontons?"

Huo Bai nodded to the recipe under his hand, "This is not necessarily. ”

"Oh. With that, the two girls walked away arm in arm.

The sky was getting darker, and the street lights were lit up.

Several big boys wore sweatshirts, hooked their shoulders and backs, laughed all the way, and walked into Huo Bai's food stalls.

After they sat down, they each took out their money and piled it on the table, counted it, summed up a number, and then got together and muttered and discussed it for a while. Finally, a tall boy in a big red sports T-shirt came over and ordered, "Boss, fifty skewers of mutton, fifty skewers of beef, and five catties of thirteen spiced crayfish! ”

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the place where Huo Bai put his drink, "Boss, you don't have a big bottle of drink?"

"Nope. ”

"Can I buy it somewhere else and bring it over to drink?"

"Yes. ”

After hearing Huo Bai's affirmative answer, the boy rushed back to his seat and slapped a note on the table, "Monkey, you run the fastest, go buy the largest bottle of cold drink and come back." ”

"Okay!" the boy nicknamed Monkey picked up the money on the table and ran out.

He did run very fast, and there was a gust of wind around Huo Bai when he ran past.

Huo Bai turned on the hot pot and poured oil, and after the oil was hot, he put the cleaned crayfish in it and fried it slightly.

Leave a small amount of oil in the pot and stir-fry the garlic, ginger, onion, green and red peppers, stir-fry until fragrant, pour the crayfish that was fished out before, and stir-fry in the pan.

Afterwards, Huo Bai added homemade sauce and thirteen spice powder, sprinkled a handful of old rock sugar, stir-fried well, and added dark soy sauce, beer, salt and a small spoonful of broth.

Once again, the stir-fried crayfish was moved from the pot to the basin, sealed with water and poked two holes in tin foil, and placed on a lit alcohol stove.

"Boss, is this good? so fast?" The boy who came to order food before looked at the basin in front of him and asked Huo Bai.

"No, it's going to take five or six minutes. ”

With that, he turned around and went to the barbecue grill to start grilling the skewers they had ordered.

"Oh, it's not good......" A boy in a blue short-sleeved poked the basin on the stove with chopsticks.

"What? You want to eat first? The monkey hasn't come back yet. The boy in red looked at him with a smile.

"Ahem, how can it be? I'm just talking, talking about ......" The boy immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand and sat down in a proper manner.

As he spoke, the monkey who had gone out to buy a drink came back.

"I'm back, hurry up and get me a cup and pour a glass, it's hot to death!"

The monkey ran back like a wind, sat on a stool, and shouted while pulling the hem of his clothes to wipe his sweat.

"You're a little bit closer, it's all steaming!" said a boy sitting next to the monkey who felt the steaming heat from him.

The monkey bared his teeth, "No! Team flower~ You are the coolest on your body, come and let me hug you~"

"!!! you're a team flower! your whole family is a team flower!" the boy stretched out his hand and pushed the monkey that came over.

The monkey smiled even more happily, "Hehe, if my whole family were team flowers, my mother would definitely wake up laughing in her dreams!"

"Captain, pull this monkey away!!" However, the people on the side were watching the excitement, and none of them went up to help him pull the monkey away.

There are still people coaxing, "Team flower~ You are from Uncle Monkey~ Hahahahaha!"
