Chapter 51: The Dumpling Stalls Couple
Hearing Mu Lao's question, Lin Zongyuan felt a little excited and proud in his heart, he really gave birth to a good son, if it weren't for his son, would he be able to meet the elders of the food industry now?
Lin Zongyuan has liked cooking since he was a child, and his biggest wish is to have a restaurant, but now these are no longer important, because he has met the veterans of the culinary industry that he can only dream of.
Lin Zongyuan tried to calm down, blinked his eyes, let the tears of excitement subside, and then looked at the old man sitting in front of him with gray hair and a look in his eyes and said.
"Yes, Mu Lao. I didn't think about teaching Lin Zhi to cook before, because he was quite good at reading, so I never thought that he would take the path of cooking. ”
"So, did he really just learn to cook?" Mu Xing asked with difficulty.
Lin Zongyuan thought of his son and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this kid is self-taught, and no one has taught him." ”
"Gollum. Mu Xing couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and a trace of ecstasy gradually appeared on his face, he seemed to have discovered a peerless genius?
Here, Lin Zhi finally saw the stall and strode over happily. Four rectangular tables, a stall cart, that's what this stall consists of. The words 'family dumplings' on the car are worn out and can't be seen clearly.
The stall owner is a middle-aged couple, and when she saw Lin Zhi standing in front of the stall, the aunt asked enthusiastically. "What about the young man's dinner? Let's eat a bowl of dumplings, a bowl will definitely be full. ”
"Then a bowl of dumplings. What's the stuffing?" Lin said politely.
"Cabbage and leeks, do you want that?" asked the aunt.
"Cabbage's. Lin Zhi said.
"Okay, young man, you do it first, and Auntie will bring it to you later. Auntie greeted.
Lin Zhi sat down at a four-person table, which was old but very clean.
"Old man, bring the young man a bowl of cabbage. The aunt said to the uncle on the side.
"I'm doing it. The uncle who had just made the pot replied with a smile.
Lin Zhi sat on the table, listened to the conversation between the couple, and felt a warm breath of life. With a smile, Lin Zhi looked around, there was a trash can under each of the four tables, and there were wrapped dumplings on the stall, and he didn't find anything strange.
Suddenly, Lin Zhi found that in the stall, there were two bowls on the ground next to the uncle standing, one large and one small.
What is the bowl doing on the ground? Lin Zhi was a little puzzled. Immediately, the dumplings brought in attracted attention.
"Young man, eat slowly, be careful of scalding. If you are not enough, add until you are full. The aunt carefully placed the bowl on the table without spilling a drop of soup.
"Thank you. Lin Zhi thanked him politely. Then I observed my aunt's hands, which were very clean and there was no dirt between my fingernails.
Lin Zhi nodded and turned to the bowl of dumplings in front of him. A large porcelain bowl, full of dumplings, is really good and cheap. Pick up the chopsticks on the side of the bowl with your right hand and pick up a plump dumpling.
After it cooled a little, it was put in my mouth and I took a bite.
Chewing dumplings in his mouth, Lin Zhi thought to himself, what the aunt said is not right, this is not cabbage, this is cabbage and meat, and there is a lot of meat in it.
Lin took a few bites, then swallowed the dumplings. nodded, although the taste is incomparable to my own, but the things are real, and the ingredients are fresh.
"Boy, try the pickles, we made them home. "Auntie took a small plate of pickles and put it on the table.
"Okay, thanks. Lin Zhi smiled at his aunt. Then the chopsticks picked up a pickle, well, the salt was a bit too much, and the rest was not bad.
The pickles are filled with chili peppers, which are very spicy and delicious. Although Lin Zhi is not spicy, he is also a spicy eater.
A mouthful of dumplings and a mouthful of pickles, Lin Zhi eats elegantly but not slowly. There were a lot of dumplings in the bowl, and when half of them went down, Lin Zhi no longer felt hungry, and then he began to chew and taste them slowly.
During the period, a few more people came to the stall, and each of them ordered a bowl of dumplings and ate them slowly on the table.
Lin Zhi was eating dumplings, and suddenly there seemed to be something more in his sight.
What more? Lin Zhi looked at it, and the chopsticks in his hand paused.
More than a dozen cats and dogs came in line, it was really a queue, although the formation was a little untidy, but at a glance, Lin Zhi recognized that they were coming in line.
"They're here again, it's so cute, and that's what I look forward to every day. The young girl sitting next to Lin Zhi said. His eyes were still on a group of cats and dogs, watching them walk to the stall.
The stall owner's aunt looked at this group of little guys lovingly, and quickly opened the insulated foam box at hand, which had already prepared the little guys' meals.
The aunt filled the small and large bowls on the ground with dumplings, and the dumplings were steaming faintly, obviously not burning their mouths.
Then Lin Zhi saw a fantasy scene, more than a dozen cats and dogs were divided into two teams, and the dog team stood in front of the big bowl. The scene of cats and dogs eating dumplings in an orderly manner made Lin Zhi stunned.
"It's so cute, it's cute. The girl next door howled wolf.
"Do you know what's going on?" Lin asked the girl next door.
The girl was immersed in the world of pets, and was stunned when she heard Lin Zhi's call, before she turned her head and looked at him in amazement.
"It's a scene that happens every day at this stall. The owner and his wife are very good, they always give food to stray cats and dogs, and then it actually forms a scale. A lot of stray kittens and puppies come over every day. ”
"Unfortunately, some customers don't like to see these stray cats and dogs, and all of them come after the rush hour every time. I also wanted to adopt a stray cat, but unfortunately my mother wouldn't let me, saying it was not clean. I had no choice but to come and see them every day. ”
The girl's face was full of excitement when she talked about it, and her face fell again at the thought of not being able to adopt a cat.
"I see. Lin Zhi's expressionless face was also a little moved.
This stall can gather so many stray cats and dogs, and I think I have been rescuing them for a long time.
Lin Zhi thought that one of his long-standing wishes was to raise a Chinese pastoral dog, commonly known as a soil dog. It's a pity that I didn't have time to go to school before, and my father was also busy with work.
Lin Zhi thought about the scene he had imagined when he was a child leading the mighty big dog for a walk, and his eyes softened when he looked at those stray cats and dogs.
The aunt added dumplings to the two bowls a few more times, while the uncle continued to cook the dumplings on the side. Everyone sitting in the stall did not leave, watching the last kitten finish the dumplings.
Lin Zhi watched the performance of cats and dogs eating and watched a group of stray cats and dogs leave.
"Maybe I can get a country dog in my new store. ”
Lin Zhi suddenly felt that it was good to have his own store, and he wanted to raise whatever he wanted.
As for what his father once said that having pets in restaurants would make people feel unclean, he automatically ignored them.
After thinking about it, Lin Zhi was in a good mood, and picked up the bowl and drank the last bite of dumpling soup.
"Auntie, pay the bill. Lin said politely, looking at the stall owner and his wife with a hint of respect in their eyes.
"Six bucks, young man. Auntie smiled heartily.
"Here you go. Lin Zhi took out the money and handed it to the aunt, and then returned to the Central Plains Road in the warm farewell of the couple.
Lin Zhi got on the bus, and the transfer did not affect his mood, and he happily gave the bus fare again. On the long journey, the forest is slow and leisurely to enjoy the scenery on both sides.
"Next time you don't want to cook, you can try the restaurant outside, some of the meals are still good. Lin Zhi nodded leisurely.
When I got home, it was almost seven o'clock.
