The three of them came to a small shop called "Chaofu Restaurant", the small shop opened in a small alley, away from the main road, two storefronts on the street, but not opened, each store put four or five tables, and there was a small private room behind it, which could only accommodate a few people.

On either side of the storefront is a real estate agent and a fruit stand, and now it's a meal, and it's bustling with people.

"Boss, is there a private room?" Wu Chen parked the car on the side of the road, jumped out of the car door and shouted at the boss.

In fact, he has never been particular, if it is only him and Big Tooth, let alone the private room, there is no place in the store, and he can cope with it by getting a table under the tree at the door, and now he wants to invite Huang Xiaolin, a girl, although I don't know what she is doing now, but looking at her dress and the car she drives, she is not of the same class as herself, and this trip has the meaning of apology, I am afraid that she will think it is dirty here, so I asked the private room directly, at least it seems to be sincere.

"Coincidentally, this last wave of people just left, and it's empty." The boss greeted him with a big belly and a smile, handed Wu Chen a cigarette, and when he saw Big Tooth coming over, he also handed one over.

In fact, Wu Chen has only been here a few times, and he and the boss can't call each other by name. However, businessmen pay the most attention to familiarity, especially this kind of local home-style shop, which survives on regular customers, so the boss seems to be particularly hot, and it seems to outsiders to reveal a cordiality.

"Okay, clean it up for me." Wu Chen lit a cigarette, pressed the lighter and handed it over, leaned over to help the boss light it too, took a puff, and turned his head to look at Huang Xiaolin.

Huang Xiaolin moved for a while before parking the car and walked over, not because of her poor skills, mainly because the car was too big, and she was a little unaccustomed to it for a while, especially in this kind of remote alley, it was really difficult to park.

"Girlfriend? Beautiful! When the fat boss saw Huang Xiaolin, he was also deeply impressed, and he squeezed his eyebrows at Wu Chen.

"Don't talk nonsense, an old classmate." Wu Chen replied indiscriminately and hurried to catch up. He was afraid that Huang Xiaolin would think that the environment here was not good, so he took her inside, and explained in a low voice: "Don't look at the small here, but it is an authentic Chaoshan restaurant, the raw materials are all brought from the hometown every day, and the master is also recruited from the hometown, which is very authentic!" ”

The food in Chaoshan's hometown is much cheaper than that in Guangfu, the seafood is also fresh, and the heavy metal pollution is not as serious as in the triangle area. Many people ask their relatives to buy good vegetables or seafood in their hometown every day, and then ask a passenger car to bring it up.

This tradition has been around for a long time, not to mention the small restaurant or the workers who cook the rice on the construction site, but also the family who wants to eat fresh seafood. Wu Chen knew a businessman, his daughter-in-law was pregnant, her mother-in-law came from her hometown to take care of her, and she didn't find yellowfin sea bream in the entire farmers' market, so she asked the owner of the aquatic product to help her pick two from her hometown every day, this fish has no fishy smell, fresh and sweet, rich in nutrition, and is most suitable for pregnant women and children.

"What's the good?" The three of them sat down, and Wu Chen saw Huang Xiaolin smiling, and there was no objection, so he went outside to order. Glancing at the rudimentary aquarium, he asked the boss.

Restaurants like this don't buy sea cucumber fish bones or anything, usually regular seafood and local dishes, but occasionally you can get some rarer deep-sea food, such as white eel or yellow tiger fish and whatever.

"There is no good seafood, but there is a mountain black!" The boss took a notebook and followed Wu Chen to remember the dishes, they were all old customers, and they also knew the goods, the boss was also sincere, and said with a smile, "Do you want to try it?" Not to mention, I've never seen such a big mountain crow. ”

"Over the mountain?" Wu Chen was startled, he had been afraid of snakes since he was a child, and when he heard it, he felt that the soles of his feet were weak.

The so-called mountain black is a kind of poisonous snake that is a special product of Nanyue Province, it looks like a king cobra, the whole body is black, highly venomous and has a strong aggressiveness, not only swallows other snakes, but also chases people when they see people, and the local snake catchers dare not provoke.

There is also disagreement about its scientific name, some say that it is the short pit viper, and some say that it is the eye king snake, but the locals believe that this is a variant, it is the product of the hybridization of the eye king snake and the krait, so it will not give birth, it is very rare, and because it is a mutation, it is extremely poisonous, and the bite is dead, and there is no cure.

When Wu Chen was a child in the village, he heard that there was a mountain black in the mountains and forests at the east end of the village, and many villagers were chased, and some people had seen the mountain black lying in the sun by the ditch in the afternoon, with a krait snake in its mouth, it was estimated that it was too big, swallowed half of it, and the exposed half had to weigh two catties.

Wu Chen was already afraid of snakes, not to mention that he had little interest in the so-called "game", and many inexplicable viruses were eaten like this, so he wanted to refuse immediately. The big tooth who came next to him was already excitedly saying, "Okay! Some time ago, when I went back to Nantian, the tide was full of water, and I just went to rheumatism! ”

"Exactly, exactly!" The boss looked at the big tooth with a smile and said: "The stewed chicken blood vine is the treatment of all kinds of rheumatism, numbness and paralysis, blood deficiency and chlorosis, menstrual irregularities, ......."

Before the boss finished speaking, Big Tooth had already given him a roll of his eyes: "Bah, you have irregular menstruation!" Besides, you can't stew until the evening? We're here for lunch, braised or stir-fried casually, and it's going to be done, be quick! ”

The boss grinned and said distressedly: "Little brother, you are a vegetable snake, this mountain is rare, if you want to be so tidy, I still keep it to go to the bar." ”

"How? Do you have to soak in wine until the Year of the Monkey? Big Tooth was anxious when he heard this.

"Why don't you do this, the snake skin is stir-fried, the snake tail is braised red, I will sell half of the snake meat to you, prepare the ingredients, take it home and stew it for three or four hours, and drink it at night?" The boss saw that Daya was a muddy person, so he simply said to Wu Chen.

Originally, the best way to eat snakes is snake gall and snake blood, after freshly slaughtering, put it directly into the liquor, and take a sip, but seeing that the three of them are going to drive, they simply don't say anything.

"Okay, do as you say." Wu Chen didn't care, he ordered a few more seafood and stir-fried dishes, because there were few people, he asked the boss to reduce the amount of each sample, and went back to the private room. Big Tooth insisted on following the boss to see the snake killing.

The boss walked to a wire cage covered with a black cloth, picked up the black cloth with a small wooden stick, and a big black and shiny snake pounced on it with a "swoop~" and hit its head on the barbed wire, shaking the iron frame. The two of them were startled, and then saw that the snake's whole body was black and shiny, weighing five or six pounds, although its eyes were fierce, and its mouth was "swishing", but its expression was a little wilted.

"This is the mountain crow? Why didn't you see it coiled? "Although the big tooth has not seen, but I have heard the old man say a lot, in addition to chasing people, he will occasionally coil in the middle of the road to block people, and now the snake is lying in the iron cage crookedly, how to look awkward.

"It's like a fake! Look at the ferocity! The boss still smiled, pointed to the snake's belly and said, "Look at it, one of the hard boards, can't bend it, I'm afraid that I haven't digested something I have eaten." The big tooth looked along the boss's finger, and sure enough, a bulge on the snake's abdomen had to be about ten centimeters long.

At this time, a cook came over, wearing rubber gloves in his hands, holding two small bamboo poles, with wires wrapped around them, a wire attached to one end, and something similar to a storage battery at the other, put them in the cage, and first stunned the snake, and then opened the lid and carried it out, took it to the kitchen, and slaughtered it.

"How do you leave someone alone in a private room?" Wu Chen saw that Daya also came out, watched the cook kill the snake with relish, and threw Huang Xiaolin alone in the private room, and couldn't help but glance at him.

"Hey, hey." Big Tooth didn't answer, don't look at him as if he was free and easy by nature, and he wasn't brainless, this time he sat down, remembering that what he said just now seemed a little inauthentic, he was a little embarrassed, plus Huang Xiaolin was also smiling and not speaking, the atmosphere in the private room was a little weird, Big Tooth was beaten for a while, he really felt uncomfortable, and said "I'm going to take a look at it too", and followed.

When did this kid get thin-skinned? Wu Chen had no choice but to go back to the private room by himself, and saw Huang Xiaolin sitting there pretty, with short black and shiny hair, just over his ears, slightly fluttering with the west wind of the air conditioner, his facial features were exquisite, his skin was fair and delicate, his eyebrows were like the moon, his eyes were like water, and she was beautiful with a delicate charm, which was indescribably beautiful and moving.

Wu Chen didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to smile "hehe", say hello, and sit down opposite Huang Xiaolin. I felt that it was not good not to speak, so I laughed twice with "hehe", but I was speechless when it was over, so I had to look at the beauty in front of me in a daze.

Huang Xiaolin was a little embarrassed when she saw Wu Chen looking at her stupidly, thinking to herself how this nerd was the same as when he was a child, and he was stunned when he looked at people.

In addition, there were only two people in the room, and when Wu Chen saw this, the atmosphere was very ambiguous, Huang Xiaolin's face was slightly red, and she glared at Wu Chen dissatisfied.

This stare had the taste of being coquettish for three points, Wu Chen felt that he was electrocuted, his heart was pounding, and his hands were a little unsure of where to put it, and he became more and more silent. The silence between the two of them made the ambiguous and chaotic thing in the space more and more diffuse, which made people uncomfortable.

"Wood! What to see? Huang Xiaolin couldn't stand it, stretched out her right hand, held the cup in front of her, and shouted loudly to Wu Chen.

Wu Chen reacted, feeling embarrassed, picked up the teapot, and made a gesture to refill the tea for Huang Xiaolin, but his mouth was a little incoherent: "I'm really sorry today, Xiaolin." Big Tooth's driving skills are really not very good, but he definitely didn't mean to, you have a lot of them, don't worry about him. ”

After thinking about it, he added: "This, where your car hit, we will pay." Wu Chen's heart was dripping with blood when he said this, although he didn't know how much it cost to suck the leather and paint in Lu Dao, but it was estimated that a month's salary was not enough.
