Chapter 8: The Little Prince of Barbecue
Liuhe No. 2 High School is located in Chentang Town, next door to Chentang Town Middle School, Xu's mother's barbecue stall is generally placed at the entrance of Chentang Town Middle School at noon and evening from Monday to Thursday, and on weekends it is often at the gate of No. 2 Middle School all day.
High school students in No. 2 Middle School can only go out of school on weekends, so many students take advantage of the rare holiday of the week to gather around several food stalls in front of the school gate to choose their favorite snacks;
Xu Ze wore an apron printed with the word "chicken essence", pushed the barbecue car, found a place at the school gate, parked the car, smiled and said hello to several stall owners who sold strings of incense, braised eggs, braised tofu and oil goods around him, and then put the barbecue car away.
"It's Brother Aze, Brother Aze is here......" Xu Ze's appearance was soon shouted by a sharp-eyed little girl, and a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls soon surrounded the barbecue stall, one by one with wide sparkling eyes, looking at Xu Ze and shouting sweetly with some shyness: "Brother Aze... Give me three strings of squid! ”
"I want five strings of green beans...... Brother Aze! ”
“……”
Looking at this group of little girls, Xu Ze nodded with a smile, skillfully put the things they wanted on the iron frame of the charcoal fire one by one, and then picked up the oil brush bottle and carefully adjusted the flavor......
The stall owners next to him, looking at Xu Ze's hot business, couldn't help but laugh and joke: "Aze, fortunately, you only sell barbecue, and you don't come often, if you sell anything else, I'm afraid that our business will be robbed by you... Haha......"
Xu Ze smiled embarrassedly and shook his head, didn't speak, just looked carefully at the squid and green beans on the charcoal fire, and kept turning them, for fear that they would be burned......
Seeing the somewhat shy smile on Xu Ze's face, the mother-in-law who sold braised eggs next to him opened her mouth without a few teeth and smiled with satisfaction: "Aze, how was the thing I told you last time?" My family Lingling is also studying in a university in the provincial city now, or do you still know each other? Will I be my grandson-in-law when the time comes? ”
"Uh......" Xu Ze was used to being teased by this braised egg grandma, and he was still a little blushing earlier, but now he chuckled and said: "Grandma, this has to be seen by your family spirit!" ”
Hearing Xu Ze's words, the old face of the braised egg grandmother smiled at that time, and she was about to speak, when the aunt next to her, who sold strings of gum and oil, smiled angrily: "I said that the braised egg woman, as far as your breed is concerned, it is also worthy of Aze; Look at these little girls, as soon as you see him, she runs to him, she usually cries for a long time when she has a pimple on her face, but now she is not afraid to buy barbecue with Aze one by one; You can see how popular Aze is, and he must have a girlfriend at school; Our little prince of barbecue can still take a fancy to your little yellow-haired girl! ”
"Wow... Aunt Youba, your mouth is cheap... Someday I'm going to rip you off! was ridiculed by the aunt for a while, and the grandmother, who had been braising eggs all the time, finally stopped her mouth after giving the aunt a white look.
For such a pattern, Xu Ze wisely chose to be silent on the side, these eight women are very powerful, if they talk to them, they will never be teased by them, so Xu Ze usually says a few words from them, and they can't answer that sentence when they can't do it.
Now the big-mouthed braised egg grandma finally stopped, the noisy sound in her ears stopped, Xu Ze was also relieved, and finally stopped dealing with these eight women, and began to concentrate on taking care of the barbecue on the charcoal fire.
Strings of squid, mutton, chicken legs and the like were handed out, and the money was collected one by one, but in just over an hour, the cardboard boxes filled with money were full, and the little girls gathered around the barbecue stall gradually dispersed reluctantly.
Xu Ze carefully sprinkled the last three pieces of tofu on the charcoal stove with cumin powder, handed them to the three little girls, and after sending them away, he looked at the gradually sparse crowd, and it seemed that there would be no guests coming to the door for the time being, Xu Ze wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and some greasy hands with a towel, opened the money box with a smile, and carefully sorted out the scattered money.
Most of them are block tickets, and a small part is ten and twenty yuan, and the money box made of shoeboxes is stuffed to the brim, Xu Ze carefully cleaned it out one by one, and took it in his hand, it was a thick bundle, and today's harvest was very good......
I was about to settle the income, but I heard a soft voice coming over: "Boss, give me three strings of green beans and two strings of leeks!" ”
Xu Ze paused for a moment, slowly raised his head, carefully put the money in his hand into the money box, and then looked at the beautiful girl who was a little confused in the face of herself, with a slight greenness between her eyebrows and eyes, but she was as beautiful and lovely as water, nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, wait a minute!" ”
Xu Ze expertly put the green beans and leeks on the charcoal stove, and quickly turned over the vegetables while applying oil so that they would not be scorched.
Today's weather is still warm and sunny, roasted by the charcoal fire, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead that had just been sweating for a short time, but Xu Ze couldn't take care of wiping it at this time, because the leeks were almost ripe, and they had to turn over as soon as possible and sprinkle cumin powder and put them away, otherwise it would not taste good when they were roasted!
While he was busy, he suddenly felt a faint fragrance coming, and a white tissue gently swept over the sideburns of his forehead, gently wiping away those sweat beads.
Xu Ze was stunned, but he reacted quickly, smiled at the girl next to him, nodded and said, "Thank you!"
The subordinates did not stop at all, quickly took out the cumin bottle from the shelf next to it, and carefully scattered the cumin powder on both sides of the leek, ready to put away the roasted leeks from the fire.
The girl next to her blushed slightly, lowered her eyes, her two long eyelashes kept flickering, and she replied with a low smile: "You're welcome!" ”
Xu Ze picked up a paper lunch box, put away the two skewers of roasted leeks, and then looked at the girl and smiled: "Lin Yumeng, right?" The leeks are ready, should you eat them first or take them away later? ”
Hearing Xu Ze's words, the girl was stunned for a moment, a trace of inexplicable surprise surged up on her face, she looked at Xu Ze's warm and smiling eyes, a faint flush quickly floated on her face, and she lowered her head a little shyly, but quickly raised her head and said, "Wait a minute!" ”
"That's good, the green beans will be ready soon!"
"Hmm...... Is your name Xu Ze? That's what they call you! Those extremely beautiful big eyes looked at Xu Zedao with a hint of shyness.
"That's right, I'm Xu Ze!" Xu Ze said with a smile while flipping the green beans in his hand.
The big eyes flickered twice, and the joy in his eyes became stronger and stronger: "Brother Xu Ze, how do you know that my name is Lin Yumeng?" ”
"The famous second lieutenant colonel, how can I not know~" Xu Ze added with a chuckle: "I often hear your classmates talk about you!" ”
After that, he sprinkled the three green beans that had been roasted in his hand with cumin powder, put them in the lunch box, handed them to Lin Yumeng and said with a smile: "Okay!" ”
"Thank you!" Lin Yumeng carefully took the lunch box, handed over five yuan, and seemed to be a little reluctant to turn around and was about to leave, but suddenly looked back at Xu Ze and said, "Brother Aze, are you in Xingda?" ”
"That's right! Star big, how? Xu Ze looked at the beautiful girl in front of him suspiciously.
"I will also go to Star University in the second half of the year! Brother Aze will have to take care of me more when the time comes......" The girl left a string of cheerful laughter like silver bells, and trotted all the way into the school, leaving Xu Ze with a beautiful back......
Looking at the beautiful figure that disappeared at the school gate, Xu Ze twisted his eyebrows lightly, and sighed lightly with some doubts: "What a beautiful girl......"
Thinking of this, a familiar and beautiful figure appeared in his mind again, thinking of her, Xu Ze's heart hurt for no reason, and he quickly shook his head and threw this figure out of his mind.
