Chapter 91: Tangerine peel and red bean paste

Since the fixed holiday, Ning Le's mood seems to have calmed down a lot, although he is still unwilling to keep a face as if the guest owes him money, the number of mistakes has decreased significantly.

Probably because he was finally able to calm down and think about work, gradually, he was able to cope with it easily.

"Today is really the sun coming out in the west, and I didn't even break the plate or serve the wrong dish." When it closed in the evening, Su Xian passed by Ning Le's side and felt very strange and said.

"I can't break dishes every day, and my hands are fine." Ning Le wiped the dining table and said unhappily, but subconsciously glanced at Su Chan who was cleaning the door, he just felt that a weak woman could do her best for her home, how could he, as a man, lose to a girl!

"That's right." Su Xian nodded and said, "Then there's nothing wrong with your face, can you smile at the guests from tomorrow, the person who always comes to eat with a stiff face still thinks that he owes you money, and if it goes on like this, it will affect the business very much." ”

"I'm not a joke, big sister, why do you always come to my stubble! I'm not the only one who doesn't laugh, and she never laughs! Ning Le retorted unhappily, pointed to Su Chan, who was wielding a big broom and seemed to be painting a beard to the land lord for a while, and said loudly.

Su Chan looked at her coldly, Ning Le only felt the ends of his hair stand on end, and a breath rushed back to his throat, choking him and coughing.

Su Xian also glanced at Su Chan, turned back to him and said, "She doesn't laugh, she is a woman, even if she doesn't laugh, others will say that she is a cold beauty, but if you don't laugh at the guests, they will want to beat you." ”

"Where's the cold beauty?" Ning Le muttered quietly.

"Anyway, from tomorrow onwards, you smile more, we are open for business. Atmosphere is very important, I'm tired of hearing a group of people complain at me that they don't even want to order food when they see you. I'm in charge of the guys in the shop, and I don't want to be jointly and severally liable for you anymore. If it is because your wife has been canceled the bonus for the first half of the year, you will wait for your mother! Su Xian said with compassion, turned her head and left.

Ning Le was choked for a moment, and bared his sharp tiger teeth, what's the matter with the women in this family, they are even more fierce than the other!

When Ning Le calmed down and began to think, he naturally also thought about the problem of entertaining guests, he was a frequent customer of Su Restaurant, so he naturally understood that the reason why Su Restaurant was so popular was not only because of the good food. What's more, the comfortable atmosphere does give people a feeling of being at home, and this atmosphere is completely deliberately created by the service staff, since he has become a part of it. Can't escape, he can only do it, he is the only one in a group of serious people who can get by, and he himself feels embarrassed.

Smile!

How could he laugh now!

So the next day, the guests who came to eat witnessed a very strange scene. Ning Xiaoguan didn't know which facial muscle was wrong today. He has been grinning since he opened the door, and he looks even more creepy than before, and he whispered to Su Xian with that kindness:

"Brother Ning is not sick, look at his small physique, don't worry too much about him, after all, he is pampered, take your time, you still have to rest when you are sick."

Su Xian was dumbfounded and sighed speechlessly.

Ning Le naturally heard a lot of discussions. His face flushed and he felt annoyed in his heart, he was already trying hard to laugh!

What made him even more upset was yet to come. During the rush hour of lunch dining, the three prodigal sons swaggered into the door of the Su Restaurant, shaking the folding fan and smiling and sweeping around the lobby, it turned out to be Zhu Er, Sui San, and Qiao Si who had been lost for a long time!

Ning Le, who was wiping the table, had a sinking heart, and subconsciously turned his head to hide in front of the innermost table and pretended to be busy.

However, the room was narrow, Zhu Er and the others saw him at a glance, their eyes swept over him, a contemptuous smile hung on the corner of their mouths, and they walked straight towards him.

Ning Le's heart beat faster and faster, and he lowered his head even lower, because he was afraid that his movements would be too big and attract attention, and he didn't dare to deliberately run away anymore, so he could only silently hope that they didn't recognize such a shabby self.

The three people glanced at Ning Le's face, who was eager to get into the crack in the ground, but did not come forward to say hello, but sat down at a table next to Ning Le, and after Zhu Er sat down, he called out arrogantly:

"That little second over there, come over and tell Lao Tzu what you have to eat here!"

Ning Le was shocked, a strong sense of humiliation spread all over his body, and he trembled involuntarily.

Su Xian and Su Chan noticed such a strange appearance at the same time, raised their heads to look over, but did not step forward.

Chun Niang naturally recognized these three as the bad people who instigated Ning Le to bully herself, she was more sophisticated along the way, and intuitively felt that these three people were here to bully people, in the end it was a kind-hearted girl, and quietly slipped into the kitchen to sue Su Miao.

So Su Miao pried open a crack in the small window and poked her head out to watch.

"Xiao Er, call you, you are deaf and can't understand Lao Tzu!" On that side, Zhu Er saw that Ning Le didn't move or speak, and shouted angrily.

Ning Le's hand on the table clenched into a fist, the whole person trembled even more, his fists gradually clenched, and a baby face was white, how could these people not recognize him, they were clearly here to humiliate him!

"Sister Miao, aren't you going to help?" Chun Niang looked at Su Miao's side face anxiously and asked.

"But that's his business, and it has nothing to do with me." Su Miaobian flattened her mouth and said seriously.

Chunniang was dumbfounded, her heart became more and more anxious, and she turned her head to look at the aftertaste: "Back to the eldest brother......" The words were swallowed back by herself, and the aftertaste was concentrating on cooking, even if he was not cooking, he was only afraid that it would be more irrelevant than Sister Miao, so she could only follow Su Miao nervously from the small window to watch.

In the lobby, Sui San also followed and shouted angrily:

"What's the matter with you running the hall, didn't you hear what the master called you, why did this store hire such a fool!"

The nails that were not long had been embedded in his palms because of the action of clenching his fists, and Ning Le was trembling with grief and indignation from the inside out, but he just felt that the humiliation was useless, and he was now arched high on the stage for people to be amused by the eyes of surprise or pity or schadenfreude around him. It's just that standing stupidly and never being able to return to the ground, that look will be even more humiliating than now, and he suddenly understood this truth profoundly. So he took a deep breath in his heart, turned around, walked to Zhu Er's table, hooked the corners of his lips stiffly, and tried to ask calmly:

"The three guest officers, the menu cards are all hung on the wall, and today's signature dishes are chicken tofu and wine-flavored snails. Wine and food, a few people can try it......"

"Yo, isn't this Ning Le!" Before Ning Le's introduction, the voice fell. Sui San had already looked at his face and shouted angrily, "I thought you had returned to your hometown after seeing him for some days, but I didn't expect to be a runner in such a small broken restaurant. Aren't you ashamed? ”

"He can still be ashamed. The people have long been lost! He was sentenced to exile for committing a crime, and a person like him who can't read a few big characters can only be a stinky runaway, otherwise I'm afraid he won't even be able to eat! Zhu Er said, laughing, "Don't say it, it's really suitable for him to wear this, if he hadn't raised his head, I would have thought he was a stinky runaway!" ”

The other two also laughed with him, and Qiao Si pursed his lips and said with a smile:

"In the past, he always bragged to us that he would be a champion in the future or something. Who knew that now it would become a runner! By the way, we are going to take the county exam next year. It's a pity that you can't go! Also, you have always said in the past that you are not interested in those, and it is more suitable for you to be a runner in peace! ”

"That's right, it's better to wear this than to be a showman!" Zhu Er said, provocatively flipped the apron that Ning Le was wearing, twisted his fingers in disgust, and frowned, "What a good oil star, it's disgusting!" ”

"The person who ran the hall was already an oil star, and you still dare to touch it, and you don't feel dirty!" Sui San said with a disgusted face, and handed Zhu Er a handkerchief, "Finish wiping it and throw it away, don't disgust us!" ”

Zhu Er took it and wiped his fingers carefully, and then threw the handkerchief away.

Ning Le's face was already red and purple with anger, his hands were clenched into fists at his sides, his teeth also bit the flesh of his lips, and many beads of sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead. He wanted to beat people up now, to beat them up and throw them out, or to just slaughter the three scoundrels who had humiliated him in front of him. The whirling anger that had swirled in his chest was about to burst him, and his pursed lips twitched violently involuntarily. He stood alone at the square table, facing the man who wanted to mock him to death. He was silent for a moment, and after his fist tightened again and again, he suddenly gradually relaxed, he took a deep breath in his heart, and then asked in a low voice:

"What do the guest officers want to order?"

The audience was shocked and in an uproar.

"Huh? Xiao Lele has also matured a lot. Su Miao was surprised, raised her eyebrows, and said in a long voice.

"What kind of attitude do you have, boy?" didn't succeed in provoking Ning Le, Zhu Er began to be annoyed, Huo Di stood up, lifted Ning Le's collar, looked at him contemptuously, and slapped Ning Le's cheek with the back of his fat hand, "Since you are running the hall, you have to do the work that you should do well, Lao Tzu hasn't opened his mouth yet, you dare to be impatient, you kid is impatient, believe it or not, Lao Tzu let your store close immediately, stinky boy!" The final slap on the face was too forceful, and it made a crisp sound, as if it had been slapped.

Ning Le's eyes widened, he wanted to calm things down, but he was slapped in front of everyone, although it didn't hurt, he felt embarrassed. His scalp was numb, and the strong sense of humiliation made him want to die immediately, and his eyes were red for a moment!

A pot of hot tea poured down the top of his head, Zhu Er was stunned, and then his mother screamed:

"Scalded!"

"Little girl, look for death!" When Sui Sanqiao saw the helper appear, he immediately stood up and glared at Su Chan and scolded.

A taller figure appeared in front of the two of them, and the two people who were about to shout were lifted expressionlessly, dragged all the way to the door of the Su Restaurant, and threw the two of them to Changle Street together with a flick, and threw all the remaining scolding of the two back into their throats. The head Su Chan also dragged the wet Zhu Er to the door, threw him into Sui San Qiao Si's arms, and the fat body hit, and the two people were almost out of breath without being broken.

"Stinky boy, look for death!" Sui Sanqiao was furious and yelled at the aftertaste.

The aftertaste of the face had sunk, and he coldly spat out a word: "Get out!" ”

What a heavy murderous aura!

For a moment, it was as if I saw a demon exuding a dark and murderous aura all around me!

The fragile hearts and livers of the three people trembled involuntarily, and they subconsciously got up and fled.

"Trouble is dead!" Aftertaste frowned impatiently, touched his neck before turning around, Ning Le, who was hanging his head, hurriedly passed by him and strode straight in the other direction.

Aftertaste glanced at him, returned to the kitchen, and Su Miao smiled and said:

"Xiao Weiwei, thank you for your hard work!"

Aftertaste sighed lazily and asked lightly, "Is this good?" ”

Su Miao thought for a while and said with a smile: "People always have to encounter all kinds of things, and it is better to become stronger by yourself than to rely on others for help." ”

……

Ning Le wandered the streets until late at night before coming back, a tired ghost floated into the courtyard blank, everyone else had already slept, only Su Yan and Huiwei's room was still lit, and Su Yan was reading and Huiwei always slept late. Although there was a light shining through the window in the courtyard, the courtyard was still empty, just like his heart at this time, hollow, dark, wolf.

An unusually sweet and clear smell floated softly and passed into his nose, he was slightly stunned, followed the taste and looked over only to find that the kitchen was also lit with a lamp, and walked over suspiciously, only to see Su Miao standing in front of the stove with his back to the door, humming a song and scooping a spoonful of red bean paste from the boiling pot to taste, then bent his eyebrows and smiled:

"Delicious!"

When she turned around and found Ning Le standing at the door, she said with a smile:

"Ah, Xiao Lele, you came back just in time, I cooked tangerine peel red bean paste, it's best to eat red beans when it's hot, clear the heart and remove dryness, nourish blood and calm the nerves, this is next month's main dessert, you can also help me try the taste!"

Tangerine peel and red bean paste, soak the tangerine peel in warm water to soften it with a knife and cut the orange into thin strips, add water to the pot and boil, put in the red beans and tangerine peel silk that have been washed and soaked for an hour and boil over high heat, turn to medium heat and cook until viscous and sandy, then take out the red beans and grind them into bean paste, and then put the bean paste, red bean water and rock sugar into the pot and cook until the rock sugar is completely melted, delicate and soft, and the texture is warm. The unique taste of the bean paste gently glides on the taste buds, the thick sand but the delicate and mellow touch is unforgettable, the unique fragrance of tangerine peel makes this mellow more and more deep and moving, and the refreshing sweetness gently slides into the abdomen and gently spreads to the whole body, as if to soothe all the anxiety, anger and wolf.

Ning Le likes to eat sweets.

"How's it going, it's delicious, isn't it?" Su Miao sat across from him and asked with a smile.

Ning Le was bored for a moment, then nodded slowly. (To be continued......)
