Chapter 3: Secret Bone Broth

"You...... Are you awake......" Qing He was almost a little incoherent, although it was the other party who threatened her first, and she attacked with her backhand.

But Qing He is such a kind person in her heart, she smashed someone with her own hands, and she almost paid twelve points of attention to take care of this person.

Seeing that the other party woke up, he didn't care about any safety or insecurity, and immediately stretched out his hand, as he had done many times this morning, and put it on her forehead, and found that there was no fever, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The doctor said that if you don't have a fever in the first two days of serious injury, then there is no big problem. If you have a fever, it's going to be difficult.

Qing He thought to himself, he didn't owe her anything now. was threatened first, and then served her as a cow and a horse, how could a precious life offset that moment.

Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and was about to pick up the bowl and continue to eat deliciously. was stared at by those two straight eyes, and she couldn't swallow it. After taking a sip of the soup, he put down the bowl.

The other party was still staring at the thing in her hand in a daze, with a straightforward longing in her eyes.

"Gollum ......"

Qing He is very sure that it wasn't his stomach screaming just now, that is the other party?

She raised an eyebrow, a little surprised. But what was even more surprising was that the other party opened his mouth and spit out a few words.

"Hungry...... Hungry ......" The face of the person on the bed was expressionless, but the words that came out of his mouth were very aggrieved, as if Qinghe had treated her badly.

Qinghe just took two bites, his hunger eased, he hesitated for a moment, and thought to himself that a good person would do it to the end, forget it, and don't worry about the injury. pushed the bowl with chopsticks over, who knew that the other party's hand was not moving, and instead stared at her.

What's wrong with that?

"Why don't you eat it? Aren't you hungry? After a long time, the other party said one word, "pain".

Now Qinghe understood, she was covered in injuries, and she stayed up all night with the medicine she had just applied, and the effect of the medicine was not so fast, so it hurt badly.

Qinghe's heart twitched, and the guilt was overflowing, and he immediately took chopsticks and spoons and began to feed them one bite at a time.

"What's your name?"

“……”

"Where's the man?"

“……”

"Who injured you?"

“……”

After many silences, Qinghe thought that she didn't want to say, so she didn't force it, just fed it slowly, although the other party didn't speak, but her actions were also very cooperative, so a bowl of noodles was quickly eaten.

"Are you full?" Qing He cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, pulled the cloth and wiped the other party's mouth, and was about to leave.

Qing He just asked casually, after all, the bowl of noodles was more than enough for her, but who knew that she actually shook her head, although the amplitude was very small, but Qing He just saw it.

“……”

This time, she was speechless, a big bowl went down, how could this girl's family be so edible?

Qing He shook his head, looking incredulous, but still dropped a sentence, "Wait a while, I'll go to the next bowl of noodles." ”

Qing He still ordered twice the amount of noodles he had before he finally got two mouthfuls of noodles and ate half full, the other party's belly that didn't look big was like a bottomless pit, and he didn't know where to eat the noodles, and the last little burp was an understanding.

After finishing like this, noon was over, and Qinghe was about to leave after cleaning up, but he found that the person in the house was not quite right.

Fortunately, Qing He knew that the man was seriously injured, so he put his mind on it a little more, and noticed that something seemed to have been knocked over inside. When she ran in and looked, she exclaimed.

It turned out that the man's movements did not change, and he actually rolled out of bed.

Qing He sighed secretly, and it took a lot of effort to help her to the bed, wanting to leave, but heard movement behind her.

Sure enough, the other party was about to get up again.

"You lie down first, I have to make some money, otherwise how can I have money to show you injuries, the injuries on your body, a box of ointment costs half a tael of silver, half a tael of silver is half a hanging money, I only have seven or eight dollars for a bowl of noodles, and only about half of the cost is folded." After saying that, he was about to leave again, and when he heard the movement, he gritted his teeth and didn't look back.

This is good, the other party is much more ruthless than her, and there is a muffled sound of "plopping", obviously rolling down with the quilt.

Qinghe was extremely helpless.

The other party is like this, where is it still like the strong woman who threatened her with a knife against her neck, she is clearly a stubborn child, and she has to do one thing to the end, it seems that the other party doesn't want her to go.

What to do? Is it really not leaving? Qinghe was anxious, what should I do with the shop, is today's income going to be lost?

Qing He's heart moved, turned around and squatted in front of the man's bedside, and asked softly, "Do you remember who your name is?" ”

Seeing the other party's stunned eyes staring at her, Qing He sighed secretly, she knew that it was bad now. I smashed it hard for self-preservation, and I smashed it out. smashed out a wound number, or a stunned wound number.

This man's brain was smashed by himself.

Should!

Qing He secretly scolded himself.

This is called evil retribution, and retribution is unpleasant! Let's see if you dare to do evil things in the future!

Now that the people have been smashed, there is no place to cry, so they have to raise them first.

This is still the ancestor, the brain is broken, she owes her; If this brain is well raised, I can't remember the moment when she held the lampstand. Be kind to her, and you won't lose your life.

Qinghe thought about it again: It's okay now, I have a younger sister, what's it called, look at her now, it's better to call her "Erbai", the boss is her.

Qing He snorted lightly, and there was a little pleasure after a little revenge on his face. The subordinates automatically put a pillow on the other party's back, so that she could lean on it more comfortably.

What a rivalry.

took the boiled medicine from the kitchen and fed Erbai a few bites, she refused to eat it, her face was wrinkled like a bun.

Because this is what the doctor ordered, three bowls of water are combined to make one serving, and slowly boil over low heat, only the weight of one bowl is left, and the medicinal juice is so thick and black that people can't help frowning just by smelling it.

No wonder she refuses to drink.

Qinghe couldn't, so she could only go to the small cabinet in the kitchen and take a small plate of halva she had made before, and give it away to give someone a little bit left, which was originally reserved for her younger brother, but now she can only coax Erbai first.

Erbai ate one and was satisfied before he was willing to listen to her words and drank the medicine, looking at Qinghe with his eyes...... The candy in his hand is as pitiful as a homeless stray dog.

"I'll give you food, but you have to be obedient in the afternoon, don't run around, I have something to go out, and I will nod if I agree." Qing He touched Erbai's somewhat messy hair like he did with his younger brother Qingyang, and the other party stayed for a while, rubbed Qing He's hand slightly, and nodded.

This time he was stunned, this felt like there was another small one in the family. She pursed her lips and smiled, helped her put the pillow and tucked the quilt corners.

Because the medicine prescribed had ingredients that made people sleep and relieve pain, Erbai looked at her with his eyes open for a while, couldn't hold back his sleep, and gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Seeing that the time had come, she hurriedly locked the door and headed towards her small shop.

Since Qinghe struggled and begged others to open this small noodle restaurant that had gathered most of his energy, it became all of Qinghe except Qingyang. is very important to her, unless it is a big festival for the New Year, she will not close the shop, at most she will go home early.

Today she arrived at noon before it opened, and there were a few neighbors at the door who had a good relationship with her on weekdays, all afraid that it was the bully who yesterday found someone to bully Qinghe, and when she saw Qinghe coming, she immediately surrounded her, and said gossipily: "Girl, what's wrong with you today, is it not in good health or something happened at home?" ”

"Yes, yes, a few of us see that you haven't opened at noon today, so we're anxious for you!"

"What's so difficult to hold back by yourself, we people can still do something for you."

A group of people said lively, Qinghe was surrounded by them, looking at the worry on their faces, a faint warmth swelled in their hearts.

Five years here, it's not like nothing. At least someone else is willing to care about her.

It's worth it.

Qinghe unlocked the door panel piece by piece, and several middle-aged men helped her to rest. She went inside, went to the kitchen to boil water, made tea, and brought a large bowl to each of them.

"Uncle, you take a few sips, I haven't cooked yet, when you are hungry, come here at any time to eat a bowl of noodles, I won't charge you money." A few kind-hearted uncles prevaricated and left, and Qinghe started a new day of work - kneading dough.

Her restaurant is mainly engaged in the noodle business, cooking noodles and fried noodles, but she will also sell things that should be eaten by each family during the festival, such as zongzi, sugar heart dumplings and the like, but there are relatively few. So every day, I have to rush to work early, knead the noodles, put them in the pot and start boiling the soup.

The noodles have to be made, and they have to be thrown into noodles, and the soup base is much more troublesome, it has to be boiled into a thick juice, and there is a clear soup, which takes at least two hours. So she will probably have to wait until noon to officially open.

She poured out a bowl of the bone broth she had boiled yesterday, then added a new bone, and put water and spices in it to continue boiling. She poured the bubbling soup into the flour and began to knead the dough together. Then add the soup little by little.

That's why her noodles are full of strength and fragrant.

The soup base at her house is always fresh from yesterday, and it has been boiled without interruption. This is still because of the small size of her shop, you must know that there is a restaurant where she used to live, and the chef there heard that her ancestors had the honor to serve the Son of Heaven and got the true inheritance. The restaurant was doing a prosperous business, and it was on the cook. She had a few words to talk to him, and the other party told her the trick here.

That is, every day there are two people specially watching the stove where the soup base is boiled, the fire can not be broken, from morning to night, all year round have to be stewed, keep adding water, keep the home seasoning, this soup is strong enough, no matter what you do, put a spoonful of soup base in it, keep this taste and make people want to taste it. So she gained experience from it, but she didn't have enough manpower to do it day and night, so she could only do her best.

This trick is also the reason why she is unique in this street and alley.

Yesterday was the cut noodles, today is the ramen, Qinghe pulled the noodles thin on his hand, very smooth and pulled, skilled by hand, a few exchanges, the hand is more and more noodles, and it is still very fine.

At the end, he gently patted the cutting board sprinkled with white flour and arranged it in a small ball.

Qinghe is rushing to the pot here, and Qingyang rushed to help after class.

One of them was outside wiping the table and greeting guests, and the other was under the kitchen.

Qingyang followed her sister, far more sensible than her peers, plus she followed her sister to meet all kinds of people, and she was even more clever and had nothing to say, and the guests outside praised her brother Qingyang for her sweet and sensible mouth when they saw Qinghe, so that Qinghe was as happy as being praised when he heard it.

Because there are still people in the house, I don't make much noodles, and the normal ones are closed. Qinghe touched the cloth bag close to his body, he didn't earn much today, only half of the usual amount, and he got seven or eight hundred yuan, which was only enough to buy a box of ointment and a few packs of medicine for that Erbai. It seems that we have to find some more business to do, and there is really not much to sell noodles.

Thinking of this, Qinghe smiled and said to his younger brother: "Sister, I have made delicious food for you these days, is Yangyang happy?" ”

Qingyang jumped, raising a bright smile, a little heavier.

Qinghe took his hand, soft, small, she couldn't help but pinch it.
