Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Rebirth of Gastronomy (Part II)

Xiao Zhenglie knew that this was his last meal, and after this meal, it was time to die, and there was nothing in this world worth his nostalgia.

After being busy in the kitchen for a while, Bai Xiaobai walked out of the kitchen with a tray.

There are only two things on the tray.

The glass is filled with Kunlun Snow Mountain non-freezing spring water, and the white porcelain bowl is filled with supreme tea eggs.

Together, these two things are just one hundred yuan.

In addition to the price being just right, Bai Xiaobai thought that these two foods were also what the drunken young man in front of him needed the most.

Mineral water can accelerate the excretion of alcohol, while the fragrance and salty taste of tea eggs can refresh the mind and help relieve hangover.

"I've been waiting. Bai Xiaobai put the water cup and white porcelain bowl in front of Xiao Zhenglie.

Xiao Zhenglie was dizzy, he put down the wine bottle, looked at the glass of water and tea eggs on the table, and was stunned.

Although he was a little drunk, his head was still clear, and his eyes were not spent.

"Hey, I'll give you a hundred, and you'll send me away with these two things, what do you mean!" Xiao Zhenglie's tone was neither heavy nor light, but with a ruffian, giving people a sense of oppression.

Xiao Zhenglie felt that this little boss must have seen him drunk, so he casually beat him with a glass of water and an egg.

He was about to start swearing, but the swear words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't scold at all.

Because the fragrance of tea eggs has penetrated into his nasal cavity, his spirits are lifted.

Smelling the aroma of tea, the brain that was aching because of drunkenness seemed to be relieved a lot.

Since Xiao Zhenglie entered the kitchen, he has always felt that his stomach is still very nauseous, and he has an uncomfortable feeling that he wants to vomit and can't vomit.

But this uncomfortable feeling disappeared completely after smelling the fragrance of tea eggs.

With deep doubts, Xiao Zhenglie picked up the tea egg, peeled it off and tasted it.

With just one bite, Xiao Zhenglie noticed that something was wrong.

How can this tea egg be so delicious?

The salty and fragrant egg white, the soft and glutinous egg yolk, melts in the mouth little by little.

The most peculiar tea aroma completely dilutes the smell of wine in the mouth.

Xiao Zhenglie has stomach bleeding for the past two days, he hasn't eaten anything for two days, and he vomits as soon as he eats.

Food has a wonderful effect on calming people's hearts.

So sometimes, when a person is in a bad mood, he will make up for the lack and depression in his heart by eating, and the effect is indeed quite good.

Xiao Zhenglie is the same now, every time he takes a breath of tea and eats a mouthful of tea eggs, his body and mind will be calmer.

After eating a whole tea egg, Xiao Zhenglie felt like he was reborn, and his heart to seek death gradually faded.

"Hey, I said, you're not very old, but you're a really good cook. How is this tea egg made, and why is it so delicious?" Although Xiao Zhenglie's words were still a little draggy, his tone was much better than before, and it was an inquiring tone.

The other party's tone softened, and Bai Xiaobai's tone was also smooth, and he said calmly, "I use the best ingredients to make tea eggs through a unique cooking method. ”

When Xiao Zhenglie heard this, he knew that there was a secret recipe, so he didn't plan to continue asking.

After eating the tea eggs, Xiao Zhenglie's mouth was a little dry.

Picking up the water glass, he mechanically took a large sip of water to quench his thirst.

Half a cup of water belly, Xiao Zhenglie was full of excitement.

Even the water is so delicious!

There is no smell of disinfectant water, it is very sweet, and although it is not icy, it is very refreshing in the mouth.

Grunt...... Grunt...... Grunt......

After drinking a large glass of water in one go, Xiao Zhenglie put down the cup, and his whole body was happy, which was more hearty than drinking cold beer.

After eating the tea and eggs and drinking the water, Xiao Zhenglie's drunkenness had slowly resolved, but he suddenly had mixed tastes, and he had a stomach full of bitter water and wanted to find someone to talk to.

"Hey, I want to say with a bitter stomach, do you want to listen to it, enlighten me...... I think...... There's no point in being alive......"

Xiao Zhenglie's unprovoked words made Bai Xiaobai stunned instantly.

For the tragic experiences and painful experiences of others, Bai Xiaobai is really not very interested.

But after all, this man spent a hundred yuan, and the rainstorm outside was very heavy, and he couldn't leave for a while.

Since he is so active and wants to confide in his heart, Bai Xiaobai should simply listen to the story and increase his experience.

"You say. Bai Xiaobai put on a posture of listening to his ears.

There was a storm outside, and the painful experience that Xiao Zhenglie wanted to talk about was like a stormy outside.

Xiao Zhenglie is a migrant worker from Yunnan Province who came to Jianghai City, his mother died young, and his father also died of lung cancer when he was in his third year of junior high school.

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and Xiao Zhenglie is no exception.

His peers are all studying in school, and he has already begun to work in the fields when he is a minor, because he can't earn a lot of money from farming, so Xiao Zhenglie has been working in Jianghai City with the young people of the same village since last year.

Xiao Zhenglie is looking for construction workers to do on the construction site, although this kind of work is tiring and dirty, but the pay is high.

Because of the food and shelter, he can earn a lot of money in a year.

He wants to take advantage of his youth and have some strength, save a little wife, marry a daughter-in-law, give birth to a baby, build a brick house in the countryside, and live a good life.

Migrant workers will inevitably have that kind of demand because they are working outside, and Xiao Zhenglie is just a young man with strong blood, so he naturally has a strong demand for that aspect.

Working at a construction site, he met a working girl of the same age, a native of Shuchuan, surnamed Zhu, who looked like Zhou Zheng.

The two were in love and began to live together.

At the beginning, the girl surnamed Zhu was quite kind to him, all kinds of intimacy, and she swore that she would marry him.

Xiao Zhenglie grew up in the countryside since he was a child, he didn't go out to work for a long time, he didn't have much knowledge, and he lacked maternal love since he was a child, so he doted on this woman very much, and he never had the slightest doubt about her words.

After the two moved in together, the relationship developed better and better.

Once Zhu Nu told Xiao Zhenglie that her mother was sick and needed life-saving money urgently for surgery.

Xiao Zhenglie has left a sum of money, which is not only his wife's capital, but also his life-saving money.

Xiao Zhenglie has a problem, he often has stomach bleeding, he saved money to have an operation in the future to eradicate the old problem, but thinking that maybe the future mother-in-law will be in trouble, he took it out without hesitation.

Zhu Nu's moving expression at that time can still be clearly remembered by Xiao Zhenglie until now.

But this time, after Zhu Nu took the money and left, she never came back.

There was no news, and the phone couldn't get through, and Xiao Zhenglie suddenly realized afterwards that he had been deceived.

A true heart has been trampled very thoroughly, and the pain of falling from heaven to hell is difficult for Xiao Zhenglie to accept.

Xiao Zhenglie called the police.

However, the rules of Huaxia are basically people who only take taxpayers' money and do not do their jobs.

Adhering to the attitude that more is better than less, the police just perfunctorily made a case registration, and asked Xiao Zhenglie to leave a number and wait for the notice.

This wait is half a month, and there is no reply at all.

In the past few days, Xiao Zhenglie has suffered from severe mood swings and stomach bleeding, and he is dying of pain.

The foreman at the construction site thought he had a stomachache and couldn't do anything, so he swept him out of the house.

Two days after leaving the construction site, Xiao Zhenglie couldn't find a job for a while, and he had been sleeping on the street for two days, and he didn't know what the meaning of being alive was.

In order to facilitate the work outside, the fields in the countryside have been sold out, and there is no going back.

After two days of breathlessness, Xiao Zhenglie felt that life was hopeless, and death was the only way.

Today, he used the only money left on his body to eat and drink enough at the restaurant, and planned to go to Jianghai and die.

But before he died, he came across the food of this shop, which made Xiao Zhenglie rekindle his desire for life.

It was just a glass of water and a tea egg, but the incomparable delicacy made him feel like he was reborn.
