Chapter 64: Well, that's what it smells like
The Sun family's great event was finally completed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Sun Ping, Guan Feng, as well as Hu Lirong and Sun An are going to Shenzhen again. June 3 was their last day at home. Sun Ping and Guan Feng planned to call their new siblings to come home. Guan Feng's parents are old, Sun Ping is not very good at cooking, Guan Feng has been busy for several days, and as soon as the two of them discussed, they decided to go to the restaurant outside for a meal at noon. Anyway, I'm already familiar with Ah Rong. Wuli Town is an ancient town, and the secret codes in the town are all old houses, and the east side is the atmosphere of the new era. However, there are many houses in this town, but the popularity is not very strong. Most of the young people have gone out to work.
Decent restaurants are almost all closed.
Not far from Guan Feng's house, there is a "Hejia Hotel" that has just opened in the place where the old and new houses meet. The proprietress is surnamed Xu and is called Xu Dongzhi. It was a young widow whose man fell from a construction site in Shanghai a year ago and died instantly. She is now thirty-three or four-year-old and has an eight-year-old son.
Her son is studying, so she opened this restaurant at home, and if she has a business, she will do it, but if she doesn't have a business, she is in her own home anyway, and she doesn't need to pay rent, and some of the dishes are also grown by herself, and the cost is low. She looks pretty good, but her skin is a little darker. But I love cleanliness very much, and everything in the house is shiny. The fried vegetables are also authentic farm dishes, and the business is not bad for a year. Not to mention how much money she makes, her life is still passable, anyway, her man has a pension, and she will keep it in the bank for her son in the future.
Sun Ping and Guan Feng decided to eat at her place at noon. Sun Ping asked Guan Feng to find Sister Xu early in the morning and asked her to prepare some dishes.
She will go back to Shenzhen tomorrow, and she also wants to have more time to help her parents-in-law clean up the house.
Guan Feng went for a while before returning.
Sun Ping asked, "Why have you been there for so long?" ”
"This Sister Xu can cook a lot of dishes, and when she chats, she gets excited and forgets the time. Hehe......"
Sun Ping glanced at Guan Feng and said, "I want you to find your soulmate!" Did you learn a few dishes from her? ”
"I'll ask her to teach me when I'm free." Guan Feng said with a smile.
"Hey, Ah Rong came to our house for the first time, and I wanted to prepare a gift for her, I wrapped a red envelope for her, you won't disagree."
"There's a lot of etiquette, who invented it. How much is packed? ”
"600." Sun Ping said.
"Another 600? You're so generous! Guan Feng said, "We can't live anymore?" ”
"I'm Sun An's sister, and you're his brother-in-law! What kind of relationship is this, can you get it if you don't have it? Sun Ping said to Guan Feng while looking at the door.
"Alas, whatever you say is reasonable. Whatever you want. Guan Feng said with a drooping face.
Sun Ping was about to say something, but at this time, Sun An and Hu Lirong came in with gift boxes.
"Sister, brother-in-law!" Two shouted.
The pipe man and Hong Erya, who were in the house, heard that a guest came in, and they also hurriedly came out of it.
"Uncle, aunt!" Sun An and Hu Lirong shouted at the two old men again.
"Come in and do it, do it in the house!"
Sun An and Hu Lirong handed the two gift boxes in their hands to Hong Erya and said, "I don't know what to buy, it's a little meaning." "The two of them brought longan and honey.
"You're polite, buy me something, thank you." The old man politely took the things they had handed them and let them into the house.
Originally, Hong Erya wanted to cook at home, but her son and daughter-in-law said that it was troublesome at home, so she had to eat outside. Guan Han and Hong Erya had no choice but to follow them. They were all almost seventy years old, and they would get dizzy after a few walks around the kitchen.
After chatting a few words together, Sun Ping handed a red envelope to Ah Rong and said, "Ah Rong, I don't know what to buy, you can see for yourself this money, and buy whatever you like." ”
"Sister, thank you!" The bride came to the door to give gifts, but now most of them have changed to give red envelopes. This is a custom, and Hu Lirong took the red envelope without too much prevarication and put it in the bag.
Guan Han gave Hong Erya a look, and Hong Erya also hurriedly took out a red envelope from his pocket, handed it to Hu Lirong, and said, "This is a little bit of Uncle and Auntie's heart, not much, don't laugh, ah." Hu Lirong immediately stood up and said, "This is not good, how can I ask for you, you are all so old." Besides, hasn't my sister already given it? ”
"Take it, this is a little bit of heart for me and my wife. Don't be too little. Hong Erya said and stuffed the red envelope into Hu Lirong's bag.
"I'm sorry." Hu Lirong glanced back at Sun An.
Sun Ping didn't expect her father-in-law and mother-in-law to also give Ah Rong a gift, she smiled at them gratefully.
Guan Feng saw that the time was about the same, and said, "Let's eat." I told Sister Xu that I would go at half past eleven. ”
"Let's go, then."
Sun Ping helped bring the door. The group walked towards the "Hejia Hotel".
Xu Dongzhi has been busy all morning. She's in a great mood today. Guan Feng, the black-faced young man who came to order the meal, also seemed to have some research on the dishes, the two discussed the method of sauerkraut fish, and the fresh method of chopping pepper fish head with noodles..... since her husband died, Xu Dongzhi has never said so much to a man of the same age. This is a magical feeling, seeing Guan Feng's eyebrows dancing in the place where the restaurant is arranging dishes, she actually has a familiar sense of intimacy. Her husband is also a man who loves to cook, and she actually learned these skills from his husband. The reason why she opened this restaurant is actually that in addition to her livelihood, she also hopes to fulfill her husband's wish.
If I had listened to my husband's words, I would have opened a snack bar in the county town and no longer went to work on the construction site, maybe my life would be much more prosperous now. Let's not talk about whether you can make money or not, at least, people are still alive and can still talk to her. It won't be like now, so that she is alone in the daytime, and she is lonely in the night.
She prepared the ginger, shallots and garlic first. Then side dishes one by one according to the menu. She also wanted to take out her own pickled sausages.
This meal, she put as much thought into it as she used to cook Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
What you do with your heart is different, when Sun Ping put the first Jue back to the pot meat in her mouth, she knew why Guan Feng said that sometimes he had to come to learn to cook with her.
I can't say what's so good, but there's a voice in my heart that will tell you, "Yes, it's not like that!" ”
"Wow, we must come here to eat when we come back in the future!" Guan Feng made no secret of his liking.
"We're coming too!" Hu Lirong also said to Sun An.
Even the two old men, Guan Han and Hong Erya, gave the young widow a thumbs up.
Xu Tozhi smiled happily and contentedly. (To be continued.) )
