Chapter 290: Eavesdropping
After a while, the old man took two pots of tea and a dozen cups, "Everyone, I'm cooking in the back kitchen, pour the water yourself, and the dishes will come immediately." He said with a grin.
"Old man, you can get busy, we will pour the water ourselves." Huang Mao said. After speaking, he immediately poured a glass of water and handed it to the leading man, "Boss, you're thirsty, hurry up and have a drink." ”
The leading man pursed his lips and immediately took it, accompanied by the sound of swallowing water in his throat, and drank it all, "To be honest, I'm really thirsty." ”
"I'm thirsty too, have a drink." Huang Mao poured a cup as he spoke, and drank it all in one go, smacking it and smacking his mouth after drinking, "At this time, I feel that this light water is a delicacy in the world." ”
"Brother Huangmao, give me this kettle quickly, I'm dying of thirst, I'm dying of thirst."
"That's right, Huang Mao, don't drink it yourself, pour us some too."
The people behind him couldn't hold back their mouths.
"Alright, alright, for you, pour it yourself." Huang Mao said impatiently.
After a while, the old man came up with the food.
Beef in sauce, fried hairtail, dried silkworm pupa, stewed beans with pork ribs, fried peanuts......
A table of dishes was set up, affordable and simple.
The old man smiled slightly, "Okay everyone, the dishes are ready, the rice will be ready immediately, you eat first." The size of this small courtyard is limited, so the dishes are ordinary home-cooked dishes, so I hope you don't mind. ”
The leading man sandwiched a piece of hairtail fish and put it in his mouth, "The outside is charred and the inside is tender, the meat is soft, it is simply delicious in the world." Old man, what is this craft still modest? Absolutely superb. ”
Huang Mao picked up a piece of sauced beef and put it in his mouth, "It's strong enough, hard but not firewood, and the taste is deep, it's really delicious." After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the dozen brothers behind him, "Brother, how does the food taste?" ”
"Delicious, delicious, good craftsmanship."
"Home-cooked food is the hardest to make, but the dishes taste absolutely good."
"Maybe I'm hungry, this is the best dish I've ever eaten."
When the old man saw this scene, he smiled heartily, "Thank you, thank you so much for your compliment." If you think it's delicious, come back often. I still have to do some work in the back kitchen, and I can be called at any time if I have something. He grinned and turned to leave.
"Old man, you are busy with you, and I have something to call you." Yellow fur shouted loudly.
The old man smiled and nodded, then turned back to the back kitchen.
"Wife, did they notice anything? I was worried a lot. The old woman hiding in the kitchen door said.
Grandpa glanced back and made sure that no one was following, so he slowly walked to the old woman's side, "Wife, don't worry, at least I haven't found anything yet." ”
The old woman nodded, "Well, that's good, that's good." I hope they will finish eating and send away these plague gods as soon as possible. ”
The old man patted the old woman on the shoulder, "Old wife, with the information they know so far, they can't guess that Yanzi and Tianyu have been here, so don't worry." ”
The old woman smiled slightly, "I hope so, I don't know where Yanzi and Tianyu have gone now." ”
The old man raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "If Tianyu and Yanzi don't have an accident, they will have returned to City A by now." ”
The old woman's nervous expression gradually relaxed, "If that's the case, I'll be relieved." ”
"What do you say, old man?"
The two of them were looking at each other and talking, when suddenly someone from behind them said something.
The two old men trembled in fright, and at the same time turned their heads suddenly, "Who?" He asked in unison.
Turning his head and finding that it was Huang Mao, the old man immediately changed from a nervous expression to a smile on his face, "Yo, it's you?" Any commands? How to run to the back kitchen, you can just shout if you have something. Said with a smile.
Huang Mao smiled, "Huh...... It doesn't matter, it's just two cloves of garlic. ”
"Oh, I want two cloves of garlic, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, I'll send it to you when you shout." The old man said, walked to the board and took a head of garlic, turned around and handed it to Huang Mao.
Huang Mao smiled slightly and took the garlic, "Okay, thank you, old man." What did you old couple whisper just now? Still whispering. ”
The old man sneered, "You young man, how can you listen to our old husband and wife." It's nothing, it's nothing more than firewood, rice, oil and salt, and trivial things in life. ”
Huang Mao frowned and nodded slightly, "Oh, so that's the case, then how can I vaguely hear the words swallow and Tianyu." ”
The old woman lowered her head when she heard this, her brows furrowed, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and her hands clutched the corners of her clothes.
The old man was also stunned for a moment, "Uh...... What do you say? ”
Huang Mao's eyes widened, he walked up to the old man and leaned in her ear, "Yanzi, Tianyu, you just mentioned the names of these two people. Said softly.
The old man narrowed his eyes with a smile on his face, "Oh...... I see. Speaking of this, he laughed, "The swallow and Tianyu you are talking about are two people, right?" And I mean it's the swallows in the sky, the rain is not beautiful, and the bird's nest is collapsed, and the swallows can't go home. As he spoke, he looked at the sky and sighed.
Huang Mao scratched his head after hearing this, "When you say swallows and heavens, do you mean swallows and rain in the sky?" ”
At this time, the old woman on the side also sneered, "Oh, we were talking about swallows and Tianyu just now, the weather has been really bad recently, and it has been gray all day." What's wrong kid, you like swallows too? He said with a grin.
Huang Mao lowered his head and muttered for a moment, "Oh...... I don't like swallows. He shook his head as he spoke, "To tell you the truth, we are arresting two people, one is called Yanzi and the other is Tianyu." I just heard the names of two people, I thought you knew something, it seems to be a misunderstanding, I'm sorry, old man, old lady, I went on to eat. Then he turned and left.
The old man and the old woman not only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the back of Huang Mao turning away.
"It scared the hell out of me, I thought ...... Thought the information was exposed. The old woman lowered her voice and said tremblingly.
The old man patted her on the shoulder, "I was scared to death just now, but fortunately, I didn't show any horses' feet." It seems that we can't discuss it anymore, let's wait and see what happens. ”
The old woman nodded, "You're right, we can't discuss it anymore, we almost hurt the child." ”
The old man nodded slightly, turned around and went out, and came to the middle of a group of people, "Everyone, how is today's meal?" He said with a smile on his face.
"Old man, there is no need to mention the food, it is absolutely first-class." The lead man said loudly.
"Okay, it's good if everyone is satisfied, I'm happy today, and the meal is 50% off." The old man said with a smile.
"Ouch old man, no, no, we have money on us, and besides, it's not easy for your small courtyard to open, how can you get a discount?"
"That's right, old man, there's no need to discount, our boss has a lot of money." Huang Mao said with a grin.
"No, no, I'm just happy today, this discount must be played." The old man smiled and shook his head.
The corners of the leading man's mouth were slightly hooked, "This old man, he looks good, and he is speechless." ”
"That's right, boss, the old man looked good. Speaking of which, I was a little sorry for the two old men just now, ashamed, ashamed. ”
"What's wrong with you kid? How ashamed? The lead man tilted his head and looked at the yellow hair.
Huang Mao smiled, "Huh...... It's nothing, just now I went to the back kitchen to ask for two cloves of acid, but suddenly I heard two old men chatting about Yu and Yanzi, so ......"
"Wait!" The leading man interrupted in surprise, "Huang Mao, tell me carefully, what did the old man just talk about?" ”
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just talking about swallows and rain." Huang Mao replied.
"What? Chat with Yu and Swallow? The leading man looked at Huang Mao in surprise, and then turned his head to look at the old man.
Huang Mao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hand, "Oh, boss, you heard me wrong. I'm not talking about Tianyu and swallows, I'm talking about the rain in the sky and the little swallows flying in the sky. The two old men were lamenting the unpleasant weather and pouring down the swallows' nests, when I happened to hear them, thinking that they knew something, so there was a misunderstanding. After speaking, he stood up and bowed to the old man, "Old man, I apologize to you again, I'm sorry!" ”
"Oh boy, no, no. Why bother with such a trivial matter, there is no need to apologize. ”
The leading man looked confused, and looked at the two thoughtfully, "Huang Mao, what you just said is true?" ”
"Of course it's true, how dare I lie to you, it's about whether our task is completed, and whether the eldest sister punishes us." Yellow hair is colored.
The leading man nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the old man, and frowned, "Old man, there are a lot of swallow nests under the eaves of your house, right?" As he spoke, he swept towards the eaves.
"Well, that's right, kid, look here." The old man said, pointing to the eaves.
Under the eaves, there are four or five swallow nests, lined up in turn.
"Child, do you see the swallow's nest? Although there are quite a few, they are dilapidated. A few days ago, it was raining so hard that the swallows were homeless, and they didn't know where they flew. The old man sighed and said.
The leading man frowned, nodded slightly, and then laughed, "The two old men are really kind, and they are so attentive to the swallow's nest." ”
The old man smiled, "Children, see you smile." We old couples, who have nothing to do, can only pay attention to these. ”
