Chapter 18: Delicious Food, Burning Knives

A plate of fresh stir-fried snow peas, a plate of fried pork slices with green bamboo shoots, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a plate of braised silver carp on the table, which is not hearty or shabby, this is the dinner prepared by Yang Deng for everyone.

Even the braised silver carp that pressed the table, the fish is a relatively cheap type in the market, and this table of dishes will not cost twenty or thirty yuan, but it smells good.

Looking at this table of dishes, Tang Dou found the feeling of home again, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

Everyone didn't move their chopsticks, and Yang Deng and Liu Shuyi were still busy in the kitchen, which was the least respect.

With a lot of effort, Liu Shuyi walked out of the kitchen with a big bowl of steaming seaweed tofu soup, and shouted as she walked: "The craftsmanship of the proprietress is really amazing, I almost bit off my tongue just now, hey, the store manager quickly helped take over the handle, and it burned me to death." ”

It seems that this girl couldn't help but steal it when she helped the cook, and now her lips are still oily.

Mengzi got up and took the soup bowl in Liu Shuyi's hand, and said with a smile: "If you can't hold it, don't show your ability, just shout no." ”

Liu Shuyi pursed her lips: "I wanted to call it, but the proprietress said that men do big things upright, and men don't interfere in the kitchen." ”

"Dead girl, chewing the root of her tongue again." Yang Deng glared at Liu Shuyi angrily and came out with a big bowl of rice, this proprietress is called if it doesn't stop, I'm afraid I won't be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

It's all to blame on that unobtrusive bastard boss, who asked him to post such a job posting.

The matter involved himself, Tang Dou hurriedly scolded Liu Shuyi with a straight face: "Shuyi, don't talk nonsense, I didn't even graduate from high school, and I squatted for two years in elementary school, how can I be worthy of your Sister Yang Deng at my level." ”

Liu Shuyi spit out her pink little tongue and hurriedly sat down.

Yang Dengfeng glared at Tang Dou, and he didn't know if he blamed Tang Dou for his indiscriminate explanation.

Tang Dou was weak-hearted, and hurriedly haha: "Yang Deng, you still dare to use it, the rice bowl in your hand is an old gadget handed down from the Qianlong period, maybe it was still used by the Qianlong master." ”

Yang Deng pursed his lips: "Lord Qianlong won't use the coarse porcelain from this kiln, don't blame you, there is not even a rice bowl for rice in the kitchen, so you can only use this general." ”

Tang Dou and the others laughed, using antiques from the Qianlong period as rice bowls and saying that it would be enough, and this Yang Lantern was also unique.

Tang Dou said with a smile: "Cheng, anyway, this thing is not worth a few dollars, and it will be our special tableware in the future, not for sale." When I have the opportunity to come back, I will come with a whole set of Song Ruyao's fine tableware, and we will eat with a golden rice bowl in the future. ”

Tang Dou's words are not ashamed in exchange for countless white eyes, even if anyone can get a piece of Song Ruyao porcelain in these years, it will be offered like a baby, and it will be used to eat, and this cow will blow to the sky.

Tang Dou was not ashamed, and stood up with a smile to pick up the rice bowl in Yang Deng's hand.

Yang Deng shook his hand to avoid Tang Dou, and said coldly: "I don't need you." ”

Remembering Liu Shuyi's retelling of Yang Deng's words just now, Tang Dou sat down in a daze.

This Yang Deng's thinking is quite feudal, but I like it, I'm afraid not only I like it, maybe men all over the world will like such a woman.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Yang Deng's seat was arranged next to Tang Dou, a table of eight immortals, Mengzi, Liu Shuyi, and Zhang Chunlai each occupied one side, but Tang Dou was placed side by side with two chairs, respectful and orderly, if Yang Deng sat there, he would really be like two in-laws with Tang Dou.

This subtle Yang Lantern also saw it, but she didn't say anything, and sat down with a little red face.

The Eight Immortals Table has only four sides, and if it is not side by side with Tang Dou, it can only be side by side with Liu Shuyi on the opposite side, but if you have to move the chair in that way, it will be a little bit of a desire to cover up, Yang Deng is not a hypocritical person, isn't it just sitting side by side and having a meal, which doesn't mean anything.

Yang Deng helped everyone pack the rice, and Tang Dou picked up the rice bowl and greeted with a smile: "Everyone eats." ”

Mengzi quickly took a bite of fish meat and put it in his mouth, and just chewed it twice, a pair of eyes suddenly widened.

"What's wrong?" Tang Dou asked.

Mengzi swallowed the fish in his mouth and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "It's delicious, it's even better than what the royal family made yesterday." ”

As he spoke, Mengzi delivered another chopstick of fish meat to his mouth, which was twice as big as the one just now.

Several people were unwilling to move their chopsticks to the fish, only Yang Deng silently took a snow pea, put it in the rice bowl and took a small bite, closed his lips and chewed slowly, looking very solemn.

Tang Dou ate two bites of fish and meat, tried the other three dishes, and said to Mengzi with a smile: "Brother Mengzi, there is no wine for such a delicacy, come over with a whole bottle of good wine, let's take a few sips." ”

Mengzi laughed: "It's exactly what I want, take the money." ”

When Yang Deng heard that Tang Dou wanted wine, he stopped talking, shook his head lightly, lowered his head and continued to eat.

Tang Dou took out three hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to Mengzi, who flew away, and did not forget to turn around and tell him when he went out: "Everyone accumulates virtue in their mouths, and you must leave me a mouthful." ”

People couldn't help laughing, Tang Dou looked at Yang Deng with a smile and said, "I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good, you can go to a five-star hotel to be a chef." ”

Yang Deng smiled and said very blandly: "What I have practiced since I was a child is just some common food. ”

"No, you've been cooking since you were a kid? Where's your mother? Tang Dou asked in surprise, but as soon as the words came out, he regretted it a little, maybe there is something inconvenient for people to say to people in other people's homes, it would be too abrupt for him to ask like this.

Yang Deng still replied very plainly: "My mother is inconvenient to cook, and my father can't." ”

It seems that he has aroused other people's sadness, Tang Dou secretly regretted it, and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so bitter when you were a child." ”

Yang Deng smiled again, and said very plainly: "As long as the family is together, no matter how bitter it is, it will not feel bitter." ”

Tang Dou thought of his parents, sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Yes, as long as the family is together, no matter how bitter it is, it will not feel bitter." ”

If his parents are still alive, he is willing to make money even if he is not as profitable as he is now.

Yang Deng also seemed to know that it had aroused Tang Dou's sadness, glanced at the black hoop on Tang Dou's arm, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." ”

Tang Dou smiled: "There is nothing to be sorry for, life is like this, how can you not experience life and death, the living still have to live well, even if it is just for the deceased relatives, you still have to live well." ”

Tang Dou saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, and said with a smile: "Everyone hurry up and eat, don't leave it for Mengzi, let this kid eat peanuts." ”

"Damn, count you ruthless." Mengzi stepped into the store, carrying a bottle of burning knives in his hand, and sweat was faintly visible on his forehead.

Tang Dou laughed, and when he saw the burning knife in Mengzi's hand, he couldn't help but grin bitterly: "How to buy this wine." ”

He drank the burning knife, the wine in Mengzi's hometown, the wine is as strong as a person, seventy-five degrees, and drinking it in one gulp is really as hot as swallowing a knife.

Mengzi smiled and returned the three hundred yuan to Tang Dou: "I ran to the small supermarket just now and didn't expect this wine to be sold, only a few yuan a bottle, I invited it." ”

Tang Dou sneered and put the money away, and when he saw that Mengzi was about to pour wine for himself, he hurriedly reached out to cover the wine glass: "I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself, I can't stand this wine." ”

Mengzi smiled: "If you are a man, you should drink and burn the knife, talk less nonsense, and take it away." ”

There is nothing to say about the relationship between Tang Dou and Mengzi, but he can't swallow a knife in his stomach, he snatched the wine bottle from Mengzi's hand with a sad face: "No, I can't drink too much today, and I have to go to the ghost market with Yang Deng at night, and if I drink too much, I will delay my business." ”

Yang Deng looked at Tang Dou and asked, "Go tonight?" ”

Tang Dou winked at Yang Deng: "Yes, if you have something, I'll go by myself." ”

Even if you don't go there tonight, you can't drink knives, this wine is not for ordinary people to drink at all.

Yang Deng smiled: "That's okay, you call me when the time comes, and I'll go over to find you." ”

"Don't, it's dark, I'll pick you up."

Yang Deng smiled and stopped talking.

Tang Dou poured himself a little burnt knife, and immediately returned the wine bottle to Mengzi, who pursed his lips and said to Zhang Chun: "The boss is not strong, let's fix it." ”

Zhang Chunlai didn't know the depth, and pushed his wine glass to Mengzi with a smile, and Mengzi filled it to Zhang Chunlai, and he poured a full glass without any difference.

The three of them picked up the wine glass and touched it, Tang Dou took a sip, grinned and swallowed it hard, and his stomach burned like fire.

"Poof", Zhang Chunlai turned his head and squirted out a mouthful of wine, stretched out his tongue and fanned the wind, and screamed in his mouth: "Mom, is this wine, this is higher than the alcohol content." ”

Tang Dou and the others couldn't help but laugh, and even Yang Deng had a smile on his face.
