CHAPTER XXXVIII

Boss An smacked for a long time, and gave Zhang Jinyang the agate zodiac carving dog a price of ten yuan, in fact, it is a lot, and some people can live for a month for ten yuan in this era. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Jinyang learned from the little old man opposite, and also smacked his lips, pursed the corners of his mouth and squinted his eyes, as if he was a second-rate person negotiating with an opponent who had just cut ten streets, and he didn't care about the straight hair in his heart when he was told to look at him on the other side.

"I don't know why it's called Yangzai, but the master just calls us that, it's just that Boss An's business is so big, the price will go up a little, the brothers have a lot of people, and the cost of eating horses and chewing is also large, so we have to be able to get enough wages, right? ”

The frivolous tone is matched with a hippie smile, and those who don't know think it's the old society that comes to collect debts.

"Brother Zhang, the price I gave is not low, who on the street doesn't know that I am an honest gentleman who is a reputable businessman, to tell the truth, I will only pay seven yuan for this gray agate, and the remaining three yuan will be regarded as my sponsorship brother You learn art. Jade carving has never had anything to do in our north, and our three northern provinces have never had a master, brother, you said this is your brother's craft, and it looks like this is also a good hand, if you can get this ability, Lao An, I will give you another dollar. ”

Boss An listened to Zhang Jinyang's words but calmed down, he wandered on the street for I don't know how long, this "Zhenyuanzhai" is also an industry left by the ancestors, and words alone can't convince him.

"Uncle An, otherwise, this one, I gave you ten yuan, and then it won't be such a thing, gray leather has always been a practice, and what I bring again is no longer a practice product, but it's all serious things, if you can't give a price, let's talk ugly in the head, I will ignore your stubble." ”

Zhang Jinyang is actually very satisfied with the price, it is already very fair for a lowest-grade agate stone carving to be able to pay this price, I don't know if this old man is honest in business, or he is counting on himself to really bring more goods.

"Haha, Cheng, then it's up to you to take care of your brother from now on. ”

Boss An smiled and picked up the zodiac dog on the table with two fingers, and pulled out a ten-yuan unity from his trouser pocket, shook it twice, as if a little reluctant to hand it to Zhang Jinyang.

Zhang Jinyang didn't wait for him to hand it in front of him, he grabbed it as soon as he stretched out his hand and "snapped", stuffed it into his pocket and got up and left, while pushing the door outward, he muttered: "It's really unpleasant, aren't you tired at noon?" ”

"Why a hundred pieces of one piece, why a hundred? You kid didn't go to school?" Boss An's eyes were actually round.

"Why, why do you say, anyway, don't regret it when the time comes. Before the words fell, Zhang Jinyang had already re-tied his feet, and he ran to the street with one arrow step, and he was already missing in three or two clicks.

He walked fast, of course, he didn't see Boss An, and then he went out of the store, stood on the corner of the street and looked in the direction he left for a long time, then turned around and went to another store.

With ten yuan in his pocket, Zhang Jinyang didn't delay for a moment, and went straight to Erdao Street, where there was a ramen restaurant known as a century-old restaurant, with a large quantity and affordable price, which was suitable for a pot-bellied man like him.

This time when he entered the store, Zhang Jinyang did not take off his strokes, because this store was not clean at all, the ground was full of snow footprints brought in by coming and going, and the ones at the door were still a little white, and the farther they extended into the house, the dirtier they became, and there were muddy footprints in a few steps.

Now there are not too many people, Zhang Jinyang looked up at the big wall clock hanging on the wall, it turned out that it was already one o'clock, and he was about to pass the meal, he sat near a table by the stove, took off his hat and neck cover and put it on the side near the stove, and shouted loudly to the guys in the store, "Master, two bowls of noodles in the big bowl, two wide leaf noodles, and two cloves of garlic!"

"Okay, a big bowl of leaf noodles drops, bowl after bowl!", the guy in the store answered - it is still fashionable to call the waiter, a young man who is not tall and quite fair, and is cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks left by the guests before him.

The big bowl of noodles is a large pottery bowl called a hat bowl, which can hold about a kilogram of water alone, but the shop guy did not surprise Zhang Jinyang asked for two bowls, because on the surface, Zhang Jinyang is about fifteen years old, and he is at the age of "half the size, eat the poor old man". And in this era, a child of his age is already a strong laborer in the family, and he is growing his body by doing a lot of work, and two bowls of noodles are really trivial.

Zhang Jinyang was not idle when he was waiting for the food to be served, and he took his hat to the stove to bake, because the hat was full of sweat, and it was very uncomfortable to wear on his head, in fact, as long as he moved his thoughts, the sweat would naturally dry, but he had always been cautious and careful, although he also used his ability a little, but it was not too much, it looked like it was dried by the stove.

He didn't have to wait long for the first bowl of noodles to come up, the smell he hadn't encountered for many years aroused his cravings, and it was the first time he had eaten familiar tastes outside since he returned to this era, knowing that his parents' culinary talent was basically zero - unfortunately he and his sister also inherited this.

As a man living in the era of information explosion, cooking should be a basic skill, but unfortunately his poor talent makes the dishes he makes can only barely be regarded as palatable, even if he has been trained for more than 30 years, he can skillfully use various traditional and non-traditional kitchen utensils at home and abroad, and understand the recipes and production methods of at least 500 dishes of the three major cuisines, but there is only one evaluation of the dishes he makes - not delicious!

It's just that because I know more, my mouth is actually confused, and as soon as I eat any dish, the advantages and disadvantages will be immediately clear, which is really a painful thing.

But what's even more painful is that the days of rebirth are not short, and the parents have been married for more than eight years, and the two of them are still in the groping stage of cooking, and some basic common sense such as salt to be put behind is not yet known.

The only good news is that because my mother works as a laboratory technician, she is a professional counterpart to pickles, and she is a master early on, at least she can have something to eat.

Eating this long-lost taste, Zhang Jinyang almost didn't cry, God is pitiful, he loves noodles the most, but now his mother hasn't opened his pasta talent, and his mother can't make his favorite hand-rolled noodles yet.

The head was not lifted from the bowl, a large bowl of noodles was gone, and another large bowl of noodles was quietly placed in front of him, and the shop guy brought up the second bowl of noodles, which is what he shouted before, "one bowl and one bowl" before, if you shout two bowls, then the two bowls of noodles are one pot out, and when you eat the second bowl, the noodles will fall off, and you can't eat it. At this time, the first bowl has been eaten, and the second bowl has just come out of the pot, which is the best time.

Seeing that the second bowl of noodles had come, Zhang Jinyang raised his head, handed over the bowl he had eaten, and then habitually said thank you, and ate again.

A thank you The shopkeeper was stunned, there was no gentlemanly demeanor at this time, and most of the people in the county were rough people, probably this was the first thank you the shopkeeper received since he worked.

Within a few minutes, the second bowl was also down, raised his head and drank the noodle soup in the bowl, Zhang Jinyang patted his belly with satisfaction, yes, I was really full, the noodles were smooth and smooth, the soup was full of flavor, the fly in the ointment was that the coriander was not very fresh, but this was no way, now the greenhouse and warm cellar technology has not been implemented, and it is not easy to have coriander in winter.

Holding his hat and waving in the direction of the kitchen to settle the bill, he felt that the shop guy had been looking at him while he was eating noodles, as if he was surprised to say thank you to him.

Sure enough, he waved his hand and didn't say anything, and the shopkeeper had already come over with a swish, and the speed made the noodle master who was on the side startled.
