"Boss, do you know how to make taro dumplings?" The boy asked.

"I'm a few years older than you, my name is Qin Feng, you can call me Brother Qin or Brother Feng, are the taro dumplings you are talking about made of sweet potato flour and taro?" Qin Feng came out with two dishes and asked with some surprise.

"Yes! You may never be able to eat it again. Oh, by the way, my name is Liu Yu, Brother Qin, you can call me Xiaoyu. Liu Yu's eyes were a little sad, and he smiled back at Qin Feng.

"Do you want to eat? We call it mountain flour dumplings, but I didn't buy the ingredients, I want to eat them another day! I'll make it for you. Qin Feng smiled, turned around and went to the refrigerator to get two bottles of beer.

"Brother Qin, is it okay tomorrow? I miss my grandma. Liu Yu's eyes were a little red, and he looked up at Qin Feng.

"Good! Then you come over tomorrow afternoon, I'll go buy materials in the morning, can I drink? Qin Feng thought about it, anyway, the documents haven't arrived yet, so it's better to postpone it for two days.

"Well, I'll drink some. Brother Qin, I'm a little uncomfortable, would you like to hear a story from me? Liu Yu opened a bottle of beer and poured a glass for Qin Feng, and when he got a cup for himself, he picked it up and dried it up.

"Drink slowly, eat some food, you say it, I'll listen." Qin Feng got up, took a pack of tissues, handed two to Liu Yu, picked up the wine glass and dried it down.

"Good!" Liu Yu took the tissue and said with a smile.

"I was a rural child, my parents were working outside, and I lived with my grandmother, and when I was younger, I couldn't even remember what my parents looked like, and it wasn't until I was in the third grade that my parents came back from outside to pick me up. I went out with my parents to study in primary school for three years, and after graduation, I gave up studying outside because of the tuition fees, and I told my parents to go back to my hometown because I didn't want to see them work too hard. They later agreed to my idea, and I went back to my hometown. Speaking of which, Liu Yu filled the wine of the two of them and motioned for Qin Feng to have another drink.

After drinking and eating some food, he continued: "My grandmother was very happy to come back, she made me my favorite taro dumplings, and took a lot of tributes that she brought back from going out to do Buddhist things, she often said that it was something that the Buddha had eaten, and people would become wiser when they ate it." I was very happy, my family used to be poor, and every time my grandmother went out to do Buddhist things, she would bring me a lot of snacks, and that was my happiest day, longan, lychee, red dates, dyed peanuts, candy, jelly, fruit, ...... I had everything, and when I followed my grandmother, I ate soy sauce bibimbap, and it was fragrant."

"Maybe it was the root of the disease left when I was young, and soon my grandmother fell ill and could no longer walk, and occasionally could barely use a cane, which was three years of lying down. When I came home from school, I saw my grandmother's face getting thinner and thinner, and her long hair that was up to her feet was knotted, and she couldn't handle it herself."

I helped her to the door in the sun, took a stool and a basin, and brought two pots of hot water to wash her hair. Grandma's hair was very long and it took me an hour to wash it, and after drying it, I took a comb to comb my grandmother's hair. Speaking of which, the wine was also drunk, Qin Feng got up and went to get four bottles of beer and came back.

"It took me more than an hour to comb my hair, which was more than a meter long, and I had four blisters on my hands because I was pushing too hard. When her hair dried, I helped her braid her hair and coiled it, made a bowl of gnocchi for my grandmother she wanted to eat, and I went back to school the next day. Not long after, my family called me and told me that my grandmother was dying and asked me to go back and see her.

When I got home, I saw my grandmother lying on the bed with tears uncontrollable, there was no trace of blood on my grandmother's face, her long hair was cut short because of the knotted knots, and her whole body looked a little withered. At night, I stayed in front of my grandmother, I didn't dare to leave, I was afraid that I would wake up and leave. I asked my grandmother what she wanted to eat, and she didn't have the strength to speak, and she looked at me with tears in her eyes. She told me that she wanted to eat water chestnuts, but unfortunately there were no water chestnuts at all this season. The next day, my grandmother survived and asked me to go back to school to study, so as not to miss my homework, and I stayed for another day to see that my grandmother's condition improved and my grandmother drove her back to school.

But I didn't expect that only two days later, the bad news came, grandma left, in fact, it was already back to the light, just to see me, I still can't forget the last words my grandma said to me, let me not delay my homework. I rushed home frantically and saw nothing but a black coffin, and I collapsed on the ground and collapsed. ”

Qin Feng took two pieces of paper and handed them to Liu Yu, patted him on the shoulder without speaking, picked up the wine glass, touched him and toasted.

"I didn't close my eyes for three days, and I stood in front of the mourning hall with tears in my eyes. Thinking about my grandmother's kindness to me and water chestnuts, I broke down again and again. I will never be able to eat the fruit offered by my grandmother and the taro dumplings made by my grandmother. ”

Liu Yu drank a glass of wine, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Qin let you see the joke, I have been holding back for a long time and have not been able to find anyone to say, it is really very uncomfortable." ”

"It's okay, it's understandable, it's human nature! But you're going to have to get out of it quickly, and your grandma doesn't want to see you like this, right? Qin Feng poured him a lot of wine, and Liu Yu, who said what was in his heart, was also a lot more relaxed, the two of you and I drank a case of beer quickly, and soon the two of them became familiar with each other a lot, and it was not early to see that it was outside, and the two of them were here. Liu Yu took out a hundred yuan and handed it to Qin Feng, Qin Feng pushed it back, and said angrily: "Count me as a treat today, you don't have to give money, otherwise tomorrow's taro dumplings will be gone." ”

Liu Yu smiled embarrassedly, scratched his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Qin, then I'll go back first and come back tomorrow." ”

"Hmmm! Go ahead! Qin Feng sent Liu Yu out of the door, and when he came back, he cleaned up and closed the door.

After taking a shower and lying on the bed listening to the song, I got up again when I remembered Liu Yu's matter, found a blank piece of paper and wrote: You have a story, I have wine, if you want to eat any dishes, please book in advance!

Qin Feng fell asleep in a daze when he returned to bed, he was tired after a busy day's work, and drank a lot of wine, and in his dream he found that the restaurant business was very good, and those who came to tell him stories began to line up. There was no word all night, only the mobile phone also came from the passionate singing "I want to fly higher, fly higher......"

As soon as the morning dawned, Qin Feng rode his bicycle out, came to the vegetable market to buy some commonly used dishes, and went to pick some dishes to make taro dumplings at night, and returned to the store after buying some sweet potato flour. After putting away the dishes, I went to the wholesale market to buy some drinks and came back, after the things were put away, I opened the door, took out the paper I wrote yesterday and pasted it on the wall, looking at the empty wall, Qin Feng finally remembered what was missing, closed the door and went out to find someone to make a menu, and made a signboard. The signboard is relatively simple, just the words "small restaurant", but there are two villains on the left side of the word, one for listening and the other for confiding.

It was already noon when he returned to the store to make it, and after burning a bowl of noodles and eating it, Qin Feng sat at the door of the store and played with his mobile phone. During this period, two people came to the store separately, and Qin Feng told them that they would leave before it opened, but one of them looked at the instructions on the wall and the mobile phone number, and took a photo. The number was added by Qin Feng later for ordering food.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Qin Feng went to prepare the ingredients for making taro dumplings. Celery, pork, carrots, green onions are stuffed and stir-fried for later use, put the taro with the skin in the pot and cook it in water, peel the cooked taro while it is hot and put it into the sweet potato flour, and cover the bowl with the good noodles and let it rest for a while. Qin Feng's movements were very fast, and after forty minutes, he finished wrapping all the taro dumplings, about seventy or so. I took a dozen of them and put them in the refrigerator to refrigerate, and put the rest on the cutting board.

"Brother Qin, are you there?" Liu Yu shouted at the door.

"Xiaoyu, you sit down for a while, and I'll cook taro dumplings for you." Qin Feng grabbed fifteen taro dumplings and put them in a pot that had been boiled in advance, put some seasonings and coriander in the bowl, added a spoonful of lard, and walked out of the kitchen with the piping hot taro dumplings.

"Thank you, Brother Qin! I've almost forgotten the taste of taro dumplings, thank you for letting me regain my memories. Liu Yu said sincerely after tasting it, and devoured it after speaking.

"Eat slowly, there's still in the kitchen." Qin Feng got up and went to cook fifteen more, because he knew that fifteen taro dumplings were only enough to taste. It's not that Qin Feng's taro dumplings are small, but that Liu Yu eats memories.

"Brother Qin, the taro dumplings you make are so delicious, similar to what my grandmother made, can I still eat them next time?" Liu Yu, who finished eating the second bowl, burped and said with satisfaction.

"If you like to eat, just let me know in advance next time you want to eat." Qin Feng smiled, took a bottle of cold drink and gave it to him.

"Brother Qin, give you money, next time I'll come over to eat, I'll go back first, the school still has something to deal with." Liu Yu took a hundred and handed it to Qin Feng, picked up the drink on the table and went out.

"Wait a minute, I'm looking for your money, it's more than a hundred!" Qin Feng took Zhang Fifty and chased him out.

"Brother Qin, it's not much, this taro dumpling is worth this price, I'll come back another day." Liu Yu turned around and waved his hand and said.

"Okay, let's go slowly." Qin Feng replied, smiled, stood at the door for a while and went in. To be honest, it is indeed worth a hundred, and the price of the material is thirty, plus labor costs, etc., but the customized thing is really worth this price.

Qin Feng returned to the kitchen and boiled the remaining twenty taro dumplings, made himself a bowl of taro dumplings, and ate the hot and slippery taro dumplings, Qin Feng had an indescribable taste in his heart......
