Xu Dafu was on wooden crutches, dragging Xiao Min, standing outside the stall with his back hunched, and said hello to Chen Kai.

Xiao Min shouted obediently: "Hello uncle." ”

Chen Kai hurriedly stepped forward: "Uncle Xu, why are you here? Come on, come in and sit, haven't you eaten yet?"

Xu Dafu hurriedly waved his hand: "Boss, don't be polite, Xiaomin and I have already eaten."

We usually rest at noon in the self-service bank on the east side of the street, and we just happened to see you passing by. ”

Chen Kai nodded: "The air conditioning at the bank is sufficient, and the child can take a nap there at noon." ”

"Boss, then you're busy, let's go first. ”

"Goodbye, uncle. ”

Xu Dafu took Xiao Min's hand and turned around to leave.

Chen Kai suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called his grandfather and grandson: "Uncle Xu, don't leave yet." ”

"Boss?"

Chen Kai said with a smile: "It's too hot today, you guys are running around looking for something to eat, Xiao Min is estimated to be unbearable."

That's it, I have a lot of materials to prepare tonight, and the rest will not be fresh until tomorrow, you and Xiaomin come to me in the evening, and I will invite you to dinner. ”

Xu Dafu's face suddenly looked very embarrassed: "Boss, I really can't trouble you anymore, you have already entertained us twice." ”

Chen Kai said with a smile: "The weather is too hot, the meat and vegetables really can't be left for too long, even if you don't come, I will dispose of the old vegetables at night, and then buy new ones tomorrow morning, why waste it." ”

After a pause, Chen Kai added: "Now that Xiaomin is still young, I need to supplement some nutrition." ”

Xu Dafu looked at Xiao Min, with some hesitation on his face.

Chen Kai half-squatted down, smiled and said to Xiao Min, "Xiao Min, is it okay for uncle to invite you to dinner at night?"

Xiao Min blinked and smiled sweetly: "Really, thank you, uncle!"

Chen Kai raised his head and said to Xu Dafu: "The children have agreed, old man, you can come over at about 7:40 in the evening." ”

Xu Dafu looked at Xiao Min's bright smile and expectant eyes, and then looked at Chen Kai, there were countless emotions on his wrinkled face, he squirmed his lips, and said slowly: "Thank you, thank you very much." ”

Chen Kai nodded.

got up to see off Uncle Xu and Xiao Min, Chen Kai couldn't wait to start experimenting with the signboard he had spent 200 yuan on, and after plugging in the power, Chen Kai covered the sun with his hands and looked closer.

Fortunately, the lights are quite bright, and it is estimated that the effect should be good at night.

Chen Kai glanced at his phone, it was still early to open at night.

"Ah...... Heh......" Chen Kai yawned, stretched, didn't take a nap at noon, and his mind was a little dazed.

Turning around and turning out an old cardboard board from the utility pavilion, Chen Kai sat on the rocking chair under the awning, set the alarm clock on his mobile phone, and fanned the wind with the old cardboard like Ding Yuan.

Not to mention, this feels like a retired grandfather.

Chen Kai felt that time was slowing down, closed his eyes and enjoyed the relaxation of this moment, shaking and shaking, and he didn't know anything.

Jingle Bell ...... The crescendo mobile phone ringtone rang in his ears, Chen Kai shook his head, opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and he didn't sleep for long, but he felt very sleepy.

With a swipe of his finger to turn off the alarm clock, Chen Kai stood up and took a deep breath, twisted left and right, squatted in front of the water pipe and splashed some cold water on his face, and suddenly felt sober.

"Whew!" Chen Kai felt refreshed, picked up the rag, cleaned the edge of the stove and pot, wiped the tables and stools in the dining area again, and moved his shoulders left and right.

First plugged in the signboard of the Dragon Boat Festival event, looked at the light box, Chen Kai nodded, and then began to cut the accessories.

Brush and brush, cut the ginger, garlic and green onions, Chen Kai had to steam the rice first, then opened the pocket in the pavilion, grabbed a large handful of green peppers, and began to clean.

While washing vegetables, Chen Kai was also silently calculating in his heart, even if he saved the use of the fairy green pepper in his hand, it could only be used for one and a half days at most.

The sound of the blade cutting on the cutting board is rhythmic, and the washed green pepper quickly turns into filaments after removing the seeds and picking the core, Chen Kai tried to cut it a little finer today to test his skills.

"Whew. After cutting the green pepper in the first pot, Chen Kai took a look at it and was quite satisfied, the green pepper shreds about the thickness of the refill were neat and tidy, and the whole looked like a jade comb.

Cut the meat, marinate for a while, light the fire, put the oil, Chen Kai wet a towel, threw it around his neck, and began to fry the first pot with ease.

Jingle Bell ...... When the bell rang for school on Friday, Chen Kai raised his eyes to see that many junior students had already left school early, and the street gradually became lively.

When the guests arrived, Chen Kai's first pot of shredded pork with green peppers was also freshly baked.

"Boss, let's have two green pepper shredded pork rice bowls and eat them here. ”

"Boss, please pack a pack. ”

"Boss, are you scanning the barcode here?"

"Boss, I'll pack an extra portion of rice. ”

Chen Kai was busy serving, packing, and greeting guests, wiping the sweat on his face with a towel on his shoulders from time to time.

There were a lot of people in line on Friday, and Chen Kai was concentrating on stir-frying pot after pot, not paying any attention to the passage of time.

Diners poured in in pairs and left in twos and threes, and the sky gradually darkened.

After about two hours, there were only scattered diners eating in the stalls, Chen Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his face with a towel, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and looked at the time, it was almost 7:40.

Seeing this time on his phone, Chen Kai looked up at the street.

I happened to see Uncle Xu and Xiao Min coming from the corner of the street.

The grandfather and grandson approached the stall, Xu Dafu was still embarrassed to come in, and said to Chen Kai on the edge of the stall: "Boss, your business hasn't been finished yet, is it delaying your time?" ”

Chen Kai walked out of the stove and said with a smile: "Don't delay at all, sit down, it happens to be a pot that has just been fried." ”

welcomed the grandfather and grandson into the stall and sat down, Chen Kai turned around and brought two rice bowls to the table, Uncle Xu thanked him again and again, and ate with Xiaomin.

Chen Kai cleaned up the other tables and waited in the stove for a while, his eyes glancing at the street from time to time.

After a while, Xu Dafu finished eating the rice bowl on the plate, put down the tableware, and watched Xiao Min eat deliciously.

Chen Kai looked at the time on his mobile phone from time to time, and looked at the street from time to time, raised his eyes and saw that Uncle Xu had finished eating, so he got up and took a rice bowl to the table, and said to Uncle Xu:

"Old man, I see that Xiao Min is a little hungry, you two should eat one more. ”

Xu Dafu was a little embarrassed on his face, thanked Chen Kai, put a little vegetable and rice into his bowl, pushed the plate to Xiao Min, and slowly continued to eat.

Chen Kai returned to the stove table and sat down, his eyes staring at the street, and not long after, a figure appeared.

"It's coming!"

I saw Wang Dong in a white shirt and another man in a white shirt walking from the corner of the street, the two seemed to be colleagues, Wang Dong pointed to Chen Kai's stall from a distance, turned his head and said something to each other.

The two walked into the stall with a smile and a smile, and suddenly found that the Xu family and grandchildren were eating at the table, and the smiles on the faces of Wang Dong and his colleagues were stagnant.

Wang Dong and his colleagues glanced at each other, slowly came to Chen Kai, and turned their heads to observe from time to time.

"That...... The boss, the green pepper shredded pork rice bowl, came to pack two portions. ”

"Okay, I'll serve it to you right away. Chen Kai answered, and began to pack meals in his hands, but his eyes did not leave a few people.

Xiao Min in the dining area, maybe because of dinner, Huang La's face was a little ruddy, but the boneless wrists and bumping marks on his fingers made people unbearable.

Xu Dafu sat with his back hunched, but he still couldn't help panting heavily, his shirt was stretched and his ribs were showing when he breathed, and his hands were holding a wooden cane, as if he was very tired, and his face was full of tiredness.

Wang Dong and the others sat on the side waiting to pack, saying something from time to time, their eyes never left the Xu family's grandfather and grandson, and their faces gradually became serious.

Finally, Wang Dong hesitated slightly, lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, stood up, walked to Xu Dafu, and asked softly:

"Old man, may I ask which neighborhood you live in?"
