Chapter 56: Forget the New Year
It looks like the freshly made buns are slow, but they are actually very fast.
Just when the two were fascinated by the sudden fragrance, the old man came to the two with a plate of dishes.
"This is my usual appetizer, come, you can taste it, if it's not spicy enough, put some chili oil." The old man looked very bold, and he also came with a bowl of chili oil for free.
"Hmm-did you just do it? Thank you, uncle. Placing his palm on top of the chili oil and fanning it in his direction, Fang Siyi's face flashed with a touch of surprise and thanked him again and again.
Yingbao, who likes to eat spicy food, looked at the small bowl of chili oil with shiny eyes, and her greedy saliva was about to flow out.
But in the next second, the girl's eyes shifted to the dishes on the side.
What made Fang Siyi feel funny was that after seeing the plate of appetizers, Ying Bao made a very obvious action of swallowing saliva.
But it's cuteness that can't be seen.
It was a plate of fried dried tofu.
The dried tofu is cut into rectangular strips less than a centimeter wide and drizzled with a layer of honey-colored chili oil.
In Yingbao's expectant gaze, Fang Siyi picked up the chopsticks and put one in his mouth.
With a gentle bite of the teeth, the fried crispy dried tofu becomes crispy and attractive in the mouth, and after repeated chewing, it not only has the spicy taste of the freshly fried chili oil itself, but also has a sweet aftertaste.
His eyes lit up, and Fang Siyi's whole body was refreshed.
It's a shredded tofu that's charred on the outside and tender on the inside!
"Good craftsmanship!"
Sticking out his thumb, Fang Siyi praised heartily while chewing on the dried tofu shredded "crunch, crunch!" in his mouth.
As soon as her eyes lit up, Ying Bao was about to move her chopsticks excitedly, when she saw an extra dried tofu shredded in front of her.
It was Fang Siyi who took the initiative to clip it for her.
A little shyly smiled, Ying Bao opened her mouth slightly.
Carefully stuffing the dried tofu into Ying Bao's mouth, Fang Siyi asked for a bottle of mineral water with a smile, and then watched Ying Bao's reaction with a smile.
When the dried tofu disappeared into Ying Bao's small mouth, her eyes first stared to the extreme, and her already big eyes were even more round, and the next moment, those bright big eyes were bent into two lovely crescents, and the thick eyelashes, like two caterpillars, were slightly wriggled with the mood.
"Shhh
It's so cute.
Smiling, Fang Siyi thoughtfully sent mineral water.
Raising his head slightly and taking a sip, Ying Bao slowly exhaled.
"Huh-it's delicious!Uncle, your craftsmanship is so good!" After speaking, he also learned from Fang Siyi and gave a "like" to the uncle.
"Hehe, it's just a snack. The uncle smiled, then glanced at the time and went directly to the back kitchen.
After a while, as a thick burst of water vapor rose from the back kitchen, the buns were ready.
The old man put on the dishes and chopsticks first, got some garlic paste, and then came to the two with the cage drawer.
After opening, a rich aroma, accompanied by the rushing water vapor, quickly spreads through the restaurant.
But this is not over, the old man walked to the back kitchen, took a bottle of beer, and asked with a smile, "Young man, come a little?"
"Okay!" Ying Bao's eyes lit up, and he shouted with a smile: "Uncle, I want it too!"
"Hehe, okay. "It's rare to meet a drinking friend, and the old man looks very happy.
However, perhaps because of his age, he struggled a little when he bent over.
Fang Siyi hurriedly went to help get the wine.
"Now that I'm older, my body is not as good as before, and I've quit a lot of things over the years, but I just can't quit this wine. The old man seemed to be a little emotional.
"Hehe, uncle, where are you going, besides, my grandfather often said that for older people, drinking some wine every day is also conducive to good health. Ying Bao smiled and took the opened beer from Fang Siyi's hand, and poured a glass for the uncle and Fang Siyi before it was his turn.
"Okay, good, young man, good luck!" stretched out his thumb to Fang Siyi, and the old man joked with a smile.
Hey, I didn't expect the old man to be a wonderful person.
"What's the ...... Obviously, I was lucky to meet Siyi!" Ying Bao was a little shy and took the initiative to grab Bai Dao.
However, Fang Siyi just smiled and gently held her hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
"Tut, if my wife were still here, we would be so sweet now. Looking at the two, the old man seemed to think of his wife, his eyes darkened, and he was a little sad.
"My aunt, she ......," Fang Siyi asked tentatively.
"Dead, dead for more than ten years, I almost forget what she looks like now. Scratching his gray hair, the old man's words were full of thoughts for his deceased wife.
"Sorry ......" Seeing the appearance of the uncle, after all, it was a girl, Yingbao was a little sad.
"Hey, what are you talking about? It's been more than ten years anyway, I've forgotten it for a long time, come on!" Raising his glass, the old man said with a smile.
"Yes, drink!" Fang Siyi took over the conversation at the right time and said with a smile.
The three of them clinked glasses and drank freely.
I have to say that China's wine culture does have a very magical effect, and a few people who are not familiar with each other can also listen to a meal of wine and become confidants.
"Old man, I haven't introduced myself for a long time. After Fang Siyi's glass was dry, he introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Fang Siyi, and this is my fiancée Zhao Wuying." ”
"Who...... Who is your fiancée!I didn't say I wanted to marry you!" Ying Bao couldn't listen anymore, and quickly glanced to the side, and said with an obviously wrong mouth.
"Ahh
"Hee-hee, guess!" spit out his tongue at Fang Siyi, and Ying Bao replied mischievously.
Laughing at the little couple playing around, the old man said with a smile: "My surname is Jia, and they all call me Old Man Jia." ”
"Old man Jia, hehe, uncle, your name is really funny. Ying Bao joked with a grin.
"You......" pinched the tip of Yingbao's nose dotingly, Fang Siyi said with a smile: "How can anyone say this? Apologize to the uncle!"
"I'm sorry ......" In fact, as soon as the words came out, Ying Bao screamed in her heart, after all, she was a stranger she had just met, and it was indeed a little inappropriate to ridicule her like this.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I'm used to being called, it's okay, come, come and try the buns I made to see if it fits?"
