Chapter 44
Jiang Sanye's small restaurant has been open for more than 30 years, and it has never had a serious name, because at the south end of this street, the people in the town are generally called the one on the south side of the street.
In front of the small restaurant is a large courtyard, with a fence wall and the street meaningfully separated from it, the house of the small restaurant was pushed to rebuild once more than ten years ago, and it was built that was very popular at that time, and there were still a few people who built the building at that time, this kind of large wide house is a very good house, as the name suggests, this kind of house is wide, like the old house of Chen Anxiu, the outer wall is generally four or five meters from north to south, this kind of large wide house is seven or eight meters, the house area is large, and it feels particularly bright when you enter. The small restaurant has the area of three large wide rooms, three small private rooms are separated on the left and right sides, and a lobby room is set aside in the middle, with more than a dozen tables and chairs neatly placed, there are four-person tables, there are two-person tables, the small counter facing the door is the place to collect money, and the back shelves are all kinds of wine, drinks, and cigarettes.
In addition to Jiang Sanye in the small restaurant, there are three people, a chef named Zhou Hai, in his forties, not tall, holding a stove, and continued, "If you stew vegetables, use the back elbow well, stew out the soup is thick, if you braise it, use the front elbow well, the size is small, but the meat is delicious and chewy......"
Now it is not out of the first month, the weather in Ludao City is still very cold, there was a heavy snow on the mountain two days ago, looking out of the window on the east side of the restaurant, it is the mountain forest contracted by the Chen family, many places are still covered with snow, on the branches, on the ground, a white expanse. Chen Anxiu thought in his heart, when the weather is warm, something should be planted on the mountain, although his father didn't expect this mountain forest to make any money, but in such a large mountainous area, it seems a pity to only raise chickens and plant so many fruit trees. Staying in the mountains to help is to see the family is like this, a temporary decision, I hope there is a company, Qingqing wants to go to school, who else can he rely on to take care of his parents, his parents raised the three of them, and they can't count on others to take care of them when they are sick. But I didn't plan for it in advance, and now I feel a little dazed and clueless.
"The white-cut chicken must be made with the free-range chickens in the village, the broiler chickens sold in the market are not a little tasteful, eat candles, I used to say hello to the chickens in advance, just feed some wheat bran, crushed corn and grass, don't feed the chickens, let the little grandson take it when you use it, but your family raises it yourself, this is not to worry about ......"
"No wonder there are so many restaurants in our town, and you're the best business. ”
"The price is a little more expensive, but after a long time, everyone knows whose things are good. The sanatorium often comes to us to ask for food. ”
"Well, the chickens raised in the mountains are more fragrant than the free-range meat at home. ”
"That's right, the freshwater fish are mainly in the reservoir on the mountain, and there is an old Tang's phone number in the book on the counter, what kind of fish you want, how much you want, just call him directly, his family has cooperated with me for many years, and what quality you want, Old Tang has a number. The water on our mountain is good, and the fish raised are also good, and they are fresh when they are sent nearby. ”
Chen Anxiu wrote them all down, and when he saw Jiang Xinbao cleaning up the fish again, he hurriedly said, "Third grandfather, you cook so many dishes, and there are no people in the store recently." "Just after the New Year, everyone has enough oil and water in their stomachs, the business of each restaurant is very light, and Zhou Hai and they didn't come to work. The Jiang family's small restaurant is not bad, but most of the people who come to the door are also in the town to open a storefront, come and order two small fried, and then a few steamed buns to take away, basically no one orders big fish and meat.
"They don't eat, let's eat ourselves, I think today's weather is too bad, maybe it will snow in the afternoon, there should be no one coming, we will close the door early, you call your parents, don't do lunch, let's take these dishes back to eat." ”
"It's almost the same for the whole family, don't do it for the third grandfather, I'll call my mother. "There are often things like this to eat together, and Chen Anxiu has nothing to refuse, sometimes the Chen family cooks some good dishes, and they will call the old man, and sometimes the old man takes the dishes to the Chen family, and they live in the neighbors, and they get along like a family.
The signal in the house was not very good, Chen Anxiu went out to call his mother, looked up and saw that the sky was even more cloudy, and the sky in the west was full of thick dark clouds, and it seemed that it would really snow.
When I went back, there was one more person in the house, Chen Anxiu also knew, the person who opened the curtain shop in the town was called Liu Fang, who was about the same age as Chen's father, and his curtain shop was very close to the Chen family's building materials store, and the people who renovated the house often went to the Chen family to buy building materials, and when they turned around, they had to go to Liu's house to buy curtains and door curtains.
"Uncle Liu, what do you want to eat?"
"It's An Xiu, whatever, just be light, I have a headache recently, just ask your third grandfather if there is a way to cure it?" The town is so big, a little wind and grass, everyone knows the way, so the news that Jiang Xinbao wants to leave this small restaurant to the eldest son of the Chen family after the New Year, everyone has heard about it for a long time, and now seeing Chen Anxiu appear here, Liu Fang is not surprised.
"Then let's have an old vinegar cabbage, I'll put more vinegar, the celery I just bought in the morning is very fresh, how about stir-frying a celery shrimp?"
"Okay, you're a businessman, I'll try your hand at it later. Although Liu Fang said this in his mouth, he actually didn't believe in Chen Anxiu's craftsmanship in his heart, today's young people are all grown up in the family, it is good to be able to cook, where can they expect it to be delicious, but they are all neighbors, and they don't see what they look up and look down, and the two dishes recommended by Chen Anxiu are not expensive, he is embarrassed to refute the child's face.
Everything is ready-made, and these two dishes are very simple home-cooked dishes, Chen Anxiu made them quickly, and when he brought the dishes out, he heard Liu Fang say, "Third uncle, when I think of this, I get angry, didn't I buy a car for my child a year ago?" A few days ago, someone called me, saying that it was a 4S store, there was a recent event, and I wanted to return a discount of 3,000 to me, and asked me to provide an account number and password, saying that it was directly called to me, I was also confused, thinking that the bank card was in my hand, they knew that the password was useless, so they gave it, who knew that the road was checked that night, and the 50,000 yuan was gone, I really regretted it, I couldn't sleep in bed at night, half of my head was blown up, and I was disgusted with what I ate. ”
"It's already like this, don't think about it, the money is gone, and you will earn it in the future, people are still alive, and you are afraid that you won't be able to make money?
"No, I've had it before, and there's nothing wrong with going to the hospital for a checkup, when it hurts, I take some painkillers, and it's over, this time it's painkillers that don't work, I want to come to you and ask." ”
"Zhuangzhuang, you go to the kitchen to find a piece of white radish, chop it, press it into juice, take it out, I can use it. ”
"Okay, I'll go now, third grandfather, Uncle Liu, you sit down first, I'll go to the meeting. ”
Liu Fang knocked on the left side of his head and said, "This kid is very diligent. ”
"Looking at the one who grew up, he was a good boy, and the store was left to him, and I was relieved to close my eyes. ”
Chen Anxiu put the pressed white radish juice in a disposable paper cup, Jiang Xinbao asked Liu Fang to raise his head, and dripped the radish juice into his nose, both sides, about ten minutes later, Liu Fang said, "It doesn't seem to hurt as much as just now." ”
Jiang Xinbao handed him the remaining radish juice and said, "This is not medicine, it won't get better immediately after using it, but it's true that you can be lighter, it just doesn't hurt, and if you use it for another half a month, you will have fewer headaches in the future." The key is to relax your mind and not think about these worries all the time. ”
Chen Anxiu said, this is the old recipe of Grandpa Jiang San, young people don't believe in this, and older people like Liu Fang still have faith.
Liu Fang thanked him, and tasted the dishes made by Chen Anxiu, although it was not as good as the craftsmanship of the old man, but the time had arrived, the cabbage was delicious, and the celery was refreshing, crisp and tender, he praised it, and said that he wanted to pack it and take it back, Chen Anxiu gave him two more plates and put them in a plastic bag. A few steps away, no hassle.
Looking like it was snowing, Chen Anxiu went to the mountain to look at his chicken shed, the weather has been cold recently, and the chickens have been raised in the shed and not released, he changed the water again, sprinkled chicken food, closed the door, and pressed the oil paper outside the shed.
The prepared meal was packed in the food box, Chen Anxiu carried it, Jiang Xinbao locked the door in the back, removed a handful from the string of keys and handed it to Chen Anxiu, "Zhuangzhuang, you take this one." ”
"Don't be in such a hurry, Third Grandpa, let's talk about this later. ”
"It's just a key, if you don't want it one day, give it to me again, can I still rely on you?" Jiang Xinbao deliberately straightened his face.
"Oh well. At this point, Chen Anxiu took the key and put it in his personal pocket.
There was water on the road, the weather was cold, and it was all frozen, Chen Anxiu was carrying a food box in one hand and Grandpa Jiang San in the other.
When the man saw him, a very light and gentle smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Chen Anxiu suddenly felt that his heartbeat was a little bit stalled, it was really only a little bit, just a little bit, so small that it should be negligible.
Chen Anxiu blinked, there seemed to be something very wet on his eyelashes, and when he looked up, it was snowing, and large snowflakes were floating down from the lead-gray sky, obviously it was noon, but it was almost like evening when it was dark.
"It's snowing, it's snowing...... "There are several brightly dressed children running back on the street, laughing and running back, and the children always have an inexplicable love for snow.
For this snow scene, Chen Anxiu has no romantic cell appreciation, what he is repeatedly beating in his heart is that heavy snow means that the bus stops, it means that the road down the mountain is blocked, and it means that Zhang Shinian can't walk, but his mother and Tianyu are at home, where does he want to place Zhang Shinian?
