Chapter 67: Lo-mei
Fortunately, it is the 21st century, the century of developed communications, and Li Ming quickly got in touch with his parents with a phone call.
Originally, Li Ming thought that his parents were going to see his grandmother. However, after connecting the phone, I realized that Li's father and Li's mother were really in trouble, so they were not at home.
It wasn't clear on the phone, Li's mother just asked Li Ming to wait first, and Li's father would come home and open the door for him immediately.
"Sand factory?"
Li Ming was a little strange, what were his parents doing in the sand factory, were they going to want to build a third-story building?
He also heard a cacophony on the other end of the phone.
Waiting was boring, so Li Ming found himself something to do, and played Tetris with his mobile phone.
Of course, his phone can only play small games such as Tetris and Snake.
As a game with quite depth, Li Ming is not bored, and he doesn't stop until Dad Li comes.
Father Li came on a motorcycle.
Dad Li parked the car in front of the house and got out of the car after it was safe, Li Ming asked, "Dad, did you buy it?"
Father Li replied: "This is your second brother's car, I want to give you the key, so I will borrow it for him to ride!"
Li Ming nodded, he didn't think his father would buy a motorcycle, you know, since his father had an accident on a motorcycle, he disposed of the motorcycle at home, and he rarely saw Dad Li riding a motorcycle after that.
In fact, after Li's father had a car accident, Li's mother was very resolute in not allowing Li's father to use motorcycles as a daily means of transportation.
"That's right!" Li Ming was a little strange: "Dad, what are you doing with my mother in the sand factory!
Dad Li didn't say much, just explained simply: "Something!"
It's just that in such a short time, Dad Li has already opened them and walked in first.
Li Ming followed closely and first went to the living room on the first floor. Throw your backpack on the couch.
Then Li Ming opened the door very consciously.
It's not early, but it's not too late, and it's not a matter if you open the door to sell things, or keep closing!
At this moment at home, Father Li suddenly said to Li Ming: "I didn't get anything after eating!"
Li Ming said: "I've eaten it!"
"Hmm!" Father Li said: "I have partnered with your mother and your second brother Zuo to set up a sand factory, and I am a little busy during this time!
"Oh!"
Although he was a little curious about the sand factory that his parents had co-founded with others, Li Ming did not have the opportunity to learn more about it.
Because he was very busy, Dad Li immediately said: "Then I'll leave, and when I come back, I will mainly open the door for you, and the sand factory is still very busy." I'm going to the sand factory first!"
"Hmm!"
Then Daddy Li rode away on a motorcycle.
Although he was a little curious, Li Ming soon forgot about it.
Li Ming, who turned on the TV, slowly looked for a program that he was interested in.
For an afternoon, Li Ming spent all his time like this.
Time came to night unconsciously, until Li Ming felt that his stomach was hungry, and it was dark outside, that he realized that his parents might not come back to cook dinner for him today!
Before Dad Li left, he said that Li Ming didn't have to wait for them, and asked Li Ming to cook his own food.
It's a pity that the idea is good. It's brutal.
These are not problems, the biggest problem is that Li Ming doesn't know how to cook at all.
In addition to cooking noodles, Li Ming really wouldn't know anything to eat.
And for the question of eating noodles, Li Ming, half of the foodie, said. The soup base I made by myself is not good at all, the most important thing to eat noodles is soup, and the soup is not good, what else is there to eat in that noodle. The taste is understandable.
"Let's go eat out!"
In the end, Li Ming decided to go out to eat and give up cooking at home.
Close the door. Li Ming went out.
In the town, there is more than one place to eat, but Li Ming doesn't seem to be able to find what he wants, and he has passed by some small shops that make food several times, but Li Ming has never walked in.
It's not that Li Ming doesn't want to eat.
It's that he thinks that he is alone, and if he eats stir-fried vegetables, it is a waste to order more, and it is not interesting to eat less than not, so it is better to eat fried rice!
But on the contrary, Li Ming didn't want to eat fried rice.
This made Li Ming hesitate, what should he eat!
However, the feeling of hunger will not be weakened in the slightest, and soon, Li Ming felt even more hungry.
"No! starving!"
By this time, it was completely dark!
Li Ming looked up and saw that there was a shop in front of him that mainly sold braised meat.
Li Ming's eyes lit up: "That's it!"
Walking in, at this time, there were not many people in the store, and the store was a little shabby, but the inside was very clean.
Seeing Li Ming come in, a somewhat reckless person who was originally sitting stood up and said, "Little Li Ming, come home!"
Li Ming responded: "Well, old watch, come here for you to eat something!"
When Xu Bing heard this, he said, "What do you want to eat?"
Li Ming looked at the braised meat on the counter and made a decision: "One fried noodles, and one plate of beef!"
"Howler!"
It didn't take long for a plate of braised beef that had been cut to be served by Xu Bing's wife, and a small bowl of water, Li Ming had just eaten a few slices of beef, and the hot fried noodles had already been served by Xu Bing.
Xu Bing and Li Ming are related, although the relationship is a bit distant.
But Li Ming didn't know when the old cousin shouted Xu Bing.
After Xu Bing brought Li Ming's fried noodles, he said, "What's wrong!"
Li Ming stretched out his thumb: "This!
"Like?"
Xu Bing obviously didn't understand the connotation of the word.
"Anyway, it's just complimenting on your craft!
A smile appeared on Xu Bing's face: "Then you can eat more!"
Xu Bing's wife said: "If you like it, you can bring some home in a while, and bring some to your cousin and aunt!"
"Okay!" Li Ming agreed with a smile.
Xu Bing said: "Little Li Ming, I heard that my cousin has opened a sand factory now, how is the business?"
"I don't know about this, I only came home today, and I haven't heard my parents say it before!"
Li Ming did not lie. None of this was clear to him.
He is also a little strange, he has only been away from home for more than a month, why did his father and mother get a sand factory out!
And he hadn't heard anything from him before.
Xu Bing nodded: "Yes, listen to them, you are working in Gaoyang now!"
Li Ming said: "It's in Gaoyang for the time being, and there is no formal job, just mix it up for the time being!"
Xu Bing is about four years older than Li Ming, and he has not studied since junior high school.
His wife is several years younger than him, and she has been following Xu Bing since graduating from high school.
After Xu Bing wandered outside for a few years, he finally returned to his hometown county. Opened a shop.
Li Ming has always believed that the lo-mei sold in this shop of his old watch, in addition to being limited to the material itself, the method and taste are absolutely first-class.
After all, in a place like the county seat, beef and other chickens and ducks are mostly raised by locals, and there is still a gap in meat quality compared to some of the world's most famous beef.
However, those top-quality ingredients are not necessarily good choices for lo-mei.
Also, the locals have a little bit of a good home-grown stuff. That is, don't be aware that they add some other hormones or something bad to the feeding process.
Almost all of them belong to the free-range type, and most of the feed is naturally grown in the wild, such as plants grown naturally in the wild, and young grasses and wild vegetables.
This is pure natural and pollution-free, which is more reassuring than the wild one.
Don't think that wild is good. Wild ones may carry a lot of unknown viruses, especially fish, wild fish caught in some rivers that are polluted. Who dares to eat.
So, in China, don't think it's a good thing as soon as you hear that it's wild.
While eating. Li Ming said on the side: "Old Biao, these marinated meats made by your family are good, I think even if you open a shop in Gaoyang, it is completely okay! Last time, I had a store in Gaoyang that specialized in selling braised beef, and the beef I ate was not as delicious as your family." ”
As soon as he talked about his pride, Xu Bing immediately became interested.
sat directly next to Li Ming.
"It's not me who blows it! I make lo-mei is really good, not to mention other places, just here we are, I think except for the one in the leisure square, the lo-mei here is quite authentic, and I won't say anything about what other people do. ”
Li Ming also said: "I've eaten the one in the leisure square, it's really good, but that one else is okay, it's this beef!" Speaking of this, Li Ming shook his head: "I ate it once last time, and the beef was really not ordinarily bad, it didn't get it well, and it was a little hard to eat!"
Xu Bing said: "That's not done! This thing looks simple, but the knowledge in it is great." Now, there are marinades sold in supermarkets, but why can't I make them taste like this? In addition to the mastery of the heat, there is also the grasp of time materials......
The more these two old watches talked, the more excited they became, and they couldn't stop the car's posture at all.
And at this time, few people came in to buy food.
"The one that specializes in pushing tricycles and selling marinated spicy spicy can also be used!"
For this, Xu Bing did not refute it, and nodded: "It's really good, but the lo-mei he sells is mainly eggs and vegetarian foods like tofu and artichoke, which I can't compare, but he can't compare to me on this braised meat!"
Li Ming smiled: "There is a specialization in the art industry, you are not good at what he is good at, and he will not be able to do it!"
"That's it!"
…….
Xu Bing's wife is not a person who talks a lot, and has been quietly listening to Li Ming and Xu Bing chatting.
Even if someone occasionally comes to buy braised pork, she always buys it.
In the end, after Li Ming ate and drank enough, he also asked Xu Bing's wife to cut half a catty of braised beef, as well as braised chicken feet and pork, if Li Ming didn't like pig ears, maybe there would be some braised pig ears among them!
After paying, Li Ming went home with the water and lo-mei.
So many things, it costs less than a hundred dollars.
This was something that was unthinkable later. (To be continued......)
