The three of them set up a small iron shelf at the door of the Binjiang Road hut, which was originally recustomized by Lu Li later and used for the preparation of temporary meals for guests, but today there are only three people dining and drinking, so naturally they can't use the big one, so they make do with it.

Zhu Guoying looked at his skillful operation of his hands and feet blankly, and talked to them while flipping the bamboo skewers, "Brother Hua, Brother Ying, let's eat and bake now, this thing is the same as mutton shabu, it is cooked when it is hot, it is very fast, and it is very convenient, have you seen these mutton skewers in the basin?" We have it! Hey, Brother Ying, pour wine, I'm not polite at all when I come to you, you're here with me, why is this happening? ”

"I'm not polite to you, I just feel fresh. Hey, Xiaoxiao, how did you get so much meat? ”

"I went to the Northeast, and it was my sister, well, a brigade under Kailu (County) where my second sister went to the countryside bought it from them." He picked up a meat skewer, stuck a skewer into the shredded meat on it, felt that it was almost, sprinkled a layer of cumin, and then put the salt shaker and two other seasoning jars on the table, "Come, it's cooked, Brother Hua came to taste it a few days ago, Brother Ying may be the first time to eat it, eat it while it's hot." This thing tastes bad when it's cold. ”

Zhu Guoying was not polite, picked up one and took a few bites, stirred it with the tip of his tongue, and ground it with his teeth, his body did not reject this special delicacy at all, and his glasses turned into a crescent moon, "Really...... Delicious! I'm cao, how did you kid figure this thing up? ”

"Eating mutton shabu with my family, I suddenly thought of a way, how about it, are you okay eating?"

"Okay, that's great!" Zhu Guoying picked up the glass and took a sip beautifully. "You brain, it's really good, drink wine with mutton skewers, and I won't change it for a division commander!"

Lu Li and Zhu Jiahua looked at each other and smiled, and he picked up another small shelf and re-laid the coals. Roasted again, "Xiaoxiao, don't you eat it?" ”

"Eat, I've cooked this pot, let's eat together. Brother Hua, you eat yours, don't wait for me, huh! Brother Ying, you eat fast enough. Looks like you're hungry, huh? ”

Zhu Guoying ate the corners of his mouth full of cumin powder, it was the first time he had eaten such a delicacy, he couldn't stop! Without raising his head, he picked up the last few meat skewers, and said vaguely: "You guys get it first, I'm really hungry." Leave you alone? ”

Lu Li roasted him three pots in a row, and hundreds of meat skewers were swallowed, and Zhu Guoying's eating speed finally slowed down. "Oh, it's so comfortable. Ay. Xiaoxiao, come and drink? What are you busy with? ”

Zhu Jiahua glanced at his cousin, "Xiaoxiao, what kind of mutton skewer is this business, compared to selling clothes, how about the profits?" ”

"It should be said better. For now, it depends on how the effect is after the heat. I still want to continue selling, but I'm afraid that the weather will be hot and people won't recognize me. He shook his head and said slowly, "Take your time, there's always a way." ”

"Don't say so much, some don't. I came to you today to drink. Let's drink. ”

"Here we are." Lu Li turned around and sat down, picked up the wine glass, "Come, Brother Ying, Brother Hua, I will toast you." ”

The wine glass was raised, and before he could take a sip, two people suddenly walked by on the side of the street, approaching timidly, and one of them bent down and bowed his head and asked, "That...... Is lamb kebabs sold? Give us two bucks? ”

Lu Li smiled dumbly and hurriedly stood up, "I'm sorry, I don't sell it today, I eat it here with my friend." If you like it, come here on the third day of junior high school, and we will officially start business on the third day of junior high school. You are welcome to come when the time comes. ”

"How? We heard that there are lamb skewers sold here on Binjiang Road, which are very delicious, so we came over to try them, and we ...... Lives in Little Haiti. It's far away. ”

"I'm sorry, you have a lot of forbearance, you see, this junior high school year, friends come to pay me New Year's greetings, I can't always leave others behind, turn my head and go busy with my own business, don't you say?"

"Then, it must be sold in the third year of junior high school?"

"Definitely, definitely." Luli nodded and sent the two guests away and sat down again.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you so polite? Wouldn't it be the end of letting them go? ”

Lu Li and Zhu Jiahua were stunned at the same time: "What's the matter?" At first glance, you are not a material for doing business, the most important thing in this line of work is to make money with harmony, like Brother Ying in the army, you can do whatever you want, and the final result is to go to the street to ask for food! ”

Zhu Jiahua laughed, "That's right! Xiao Jiu, don't look down on this industry, dealing with people has been the most difficult since ancient times. You're in the army, and if you're like Xiaoxiao, learn to do business, you'...... Far from it. ”

Zhu Guoying's food was full of trenches, and he was greatly unconvinced when he heard this, "What's the big deal?" I can do it too. ”

"Then, Brother Ying, you will stay with me for a few more days, and you will practice at my stall when you come back, how about trying?"

"Try it, I don't believe it, you sell mutton skewers, I sell too, as long as the things are good, why can't you make money, at most I don't speak." He took out a cigarette and lit it for himself and his cousin, "Wait a while, I'll practice my hands first, and I will sell it to you for a day in the third year of junior high school, and our brothers will compare and match." ”

Lu Li nodded with a smile, and reached out to pick up the Chinese cigarette he threw on the square table, "Brother Ying, this Chinese is what you usually smoke?" ”

"yes, what's the matter, you want to try it too?"

"Not really, I was asking you, can you get me some, I mean, more? Don't you know, the last time we came back from Yangcheng, Brother Tuo Rong's blessing, sat in a soft sleeper, but Xu Yunjian bought a few boxes in the car, but there were not a lot, and he couldn't stand this group of smokers, and now it is long gone. ”

"Why are you going to start selling cigarettes again? I'll tell you, you can't sell this thing on the street. ”

"I know, I want to buy some for my aunt, you know, in the past six months or so, I have made some money, and all the money I earned is put in my aunt's, I mean, let the old man spend it when it should be spent, and use it when it should be used, who knows that she will not spend it, saying that it is for me to keep in the future. Now, I still smoke a dime or two a box every day for fighting, childbirth, big babies and the like, and I smoke quite fiercely, always two packs a day - I persuaded her to quit but it didn't work, so I wanted to buy her something good, maybe it would be good for the body, you say? ”

The Zhu brothers listened to his babbling words, and they were all moved. Zhu Guoying patted him on the shoulder and said loudly: "Just for your filial piety, your aunt's smoking will be handed over to my brother!" I didn't bring a lot of cigarettes from Yangcheng this time, you take them first, and then bring them to you when I come back from Bei (Beijing). In the future, when I go back to Yangcheng, I will mail it to you at any time, five a month, is enough? ”

"Enough, enough, enough. I'll give you money......"

"Shut up! Do we buddies still need to mention this? Don't talk about it, and I'll turn my face again. ”

Lu Li no longer insisted, sprinkled the cooked meat skewers with cumin and chili, and put his backhand in front of Zhu Jiahua, "Brother Hua, Brother Ying is full, let's eat." ”

"What do you two eat and why don't you give me food?" Zhu Guoying grinned, grabbed a few sticks, and tore them up.

The three of them drank and ate meat, talked about friendship together, and enjoyed themselves, Zhu Jiahua ate a few bites, put down the wine glass, and said: "Xiaoxiao, I have to leave after the fourth year of junior high school." ”

"So fast?"

"Yes, the North (Beijing) side is ready, and I have been preliminarily arranged to work in the United Front (War) Department. After the fifth day of the new year, they will have to officially work. You ......"

Lu Li's heart sank, he and Zhu Jiahua have known each other for more than half a year, and they have learned a lot of knowledge and truth from Zhu Jiahua, and more importantly, the kind of friendship from the other party is the most important thing in his heart. Now that they are separated, the melancholy of the young man is difficult to dissipate, and his reluctant expression is all over his face.

Zhu Jiahua saw it, forced a smile to himself, and said: "Don't be reluctant, Beijing and Tianjin are not far away, if you miss me, come to Beijing (Beijing) to see me, I dare not guarantee that as long as you come, eating and living in Beijing (Beijing) will be mine." ”

"Sixth brother, I can't make a high shot when I hear you! What is food and shelter? Xiaoxiao went to Beijing (Beijing) to see you one day, how can I do my best to be a landlord? Don't take people around Beijing (Beijing) to see what? ”

"Yes, Xiao Jiu is right, when you come, I will take two days off and take you to have a good time."

Lu Li smiled silently, although there were two people talking to each other, he understood that this was just someone being polite to him. If the two places are really separated, the friendship will eventually be weakened because of the geographical differences, and I am afraid that if we meet again in the future, there will not be such a harmony and joy as a family today.

"Xiaoxiao, don't think about it so much, let's ...... Hey, Xiaoxiao, do you still go to Yangcheng after the New Year? ”

"I may not go recently, let Cao Xun and a few of them practice more, and I will squat on the side of Tian (Tianjin) and take care of the business on both sides."

"How? We all want to see you, or should you go? ”

Lu Li laughed at Zhu Guoying's childish words, "Let's see it then, I won't tell you, I have a lot of things to do this year, and I have to go back to the merchant forest in June, and I promised our previous branch secretary to help him harvest the wheat, and before that, I have to separate the accounts and other things with my other companions - it won't be long before they will be separated and opened separately." Really, I have a lot of things to do, and when I go to Yangcheng, I can only wait for another time. ”

"How long has it been since you still helped? Harvesting wheat is bitter. ”

"I know, if you promise someone, how can you not go?" Lu Li cleaned up his mood and changed the topic with a smile, "After eating for a while, let's go to the Huaqing Pool opposite to take a bath, and then Brother Ying will go home to rest, and I will invite you to the duck building in the evening, let's eat roast duck." ”

"You don't have to eat roast duck, we will work in Beijing (Beijing) immediately, the Quanjude roast duck restaurant is not as authentic as your Tian (Tianjin)? If you want to eat, let's eat the dog and ignore it. This is a special feature of Tianjin, right? ”

"Okay, anyway, it's up to Brother Ying, you can order whatever you want, I didn't say it!" (To be continued......)
