Chapter 46: The Return of the King (1)
When I was full of wine and food, it was already afternoon.
Today is Saturday, and Chaoying gave Liu Zhu and his family a half-day off. I stayed in the store to accompany An Luo, and I was alone when I returned home anyway.
In the afternoon, Chaoying saw that Lu Zhiang had not left for a long time, so he chose to go back to the bedroom to rest and leave the space for the two young people.
"You two look at the store for a while, and the baby in my belly says she's sleepy and needs to rest. So I had to help my mother take a leave of absence from my uncle and aunt. Chaoying used the baby as an excuse, which naturally attracted a rare unanimous voice from two people.
The store An Luo found was a store in front, a courtyard at the back, warehouses on both sides, and a bungalow facing the store where the employees rested. Surrounded by a small quadrangle. The residence at the back is a bedroom with a kitchen, the kitchen is the door and the bedroom is the bedroom. In the bedroom, there is a large kang that can sleep four or five people. Chaoying likes this pattern very much. The only drawback is that there is no spare space in front of the house and behind the house to open a small vegetable garden, which makes Chaoying and An Luo feel a little regretful. However, the annual rent of such a house in the county is only 800 yuan. This is the most suitable for those who are just starting a business.
Because the store and the house are more than five meters away, Chaoying can't hear any sound from the store in front of him when he returns to the house.
An Luo is a little girl who can enjoy herself, and she has spare money in her own hands, so she bought a thick sponge cushion covered with pink bedding, which makes people want to fall asleep immediately at the sight of it. Chaoying originally only had three points of sleepiness, but immediately became seven points after entering the house.
After adding some firewood to the stove pit and adding a few scoops of water to the pot, Chaoying took off his shoes and lay down in An Luo's bed.
Usually, Wang Guifang sleeps on the kang with An Luo, and Liu Zhu sleeps in the shop in front. On Saturday and Sunday, Chaoying had time to come back to replace Wang Guifang and let her go home to accompany the child.
So Chaoying is still quite familiar with this place, and he doesn't recognize the bed, so he quickly fell asleep.
In his sleep, Chaoying saw Gu Weidong.
In a lush forest, Gu Weidong and his comrades-in-arms were chasing after this, everyone was fully armed, but before they left, someone disappeared behind them. Chaoying stood aside, wanting to remind Gu Weidong of the danger and leave the forest quickly, but no matter how hard Chaoying shouted, Gu Weidong couldn't hear it, and still continued to move forward with his comrades.
In the blink of an eye, Chaoying left the forest again and came to a ruin, Gu Weidong and his comrades were moving bricks and rubble, but the ground behind him was constantly collapsing, and soon the place where Gu Weidong was standing would be eroded, Chaoying shouted, suddenly seemed to have superpowers, flew up, came to Gu Weidong's side, and pulled Gu Weidong up from the collapsed land. But next to Gu Weidong, there were many people who Chaoying didn't know, and they also stretched out their hands to Chaoying, Chaoying saw that he was holding Gu Weidong with one hand, so he stretched out his other hand to everyone, but soon the sky also fell, and the ground sank deeper, Chaoying's superpower suddenly failed, and it fell down with everyone, and at this time, Chaoying was in the midst of thousands of people, no matter how he cried or shouted, he could no longer find Gu Weidong's figure.
Chaoying suddenly woke up, it turned out that it was just a dream, and at this time, the pillow was already wet.
Chaoying looked up at the quartz clock, remembering that it was 1:20 when he first returned to the house, and now the minute hand was stuck at six, and the hour hand had only gone a reincarnation.
It turned out that he had only slept for more than an hour, and it was estimated that the two young men were still arguing happily, in order not to use the light bulb, Chaoying silently lay back in the bed, but as soon as he closed his eyes, it was all Gu Weidong's figure. Chaoying closed his eyes and counted them, but he still couldn't fall asleep when he found more than three hundred. Chaoying changed his way and chose to count sheep. One sheep, two sheep, three sheep...... , until one hundred and sixty were checked, they couldn't fall asleep again, and as the number of sheep increased, the more shadows of Gu Weidong appeared in his mind.
Chaoying is still a little resentful about Gu Weidong, who disturbs people's sleep, he has been out for almost four months, and there is no news at all, and he will not come in a few months, and it is estimated that the children are all born.
Since he can't sleep, Chaoying is not wasting time. Prepare something delicious and plan to have a good meal with An Luo in the evening.
Chaoying quietly walked out from the back door next to the warehouse, which is usually used to unload goods, but in order not to disturb the two people in front, Chaoying still walked through the back door.
I went to the farmer's market next to me and bought a fish, a chicken, and bought three catties of beef tendon meat and peanuts and bought a few bottles of Erguotou, although Chaoying can't drink alcohol now, but An Luo's snack seller will definitely not agree if he sees big fish and big meat if he doesn't have some wine.
Chaoying slipped back home quietly through the back door, and when he saw that a pair of happy enemies had not confiscated the stall, he hurriedly started to prepare dinner, washed the beef first, and unloaded the chicken. Then fry the sugar color in a large iron pot with white sugar, add water to boil, add chicken and beef, and then add green onions, ginger, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, tangerine peel. Add cooking wine, soy sauce and salt, and simmer over high heat while processing the fish you bought. Disembowel, wash and change the flower knife, add green onion and ginger to the belly of the fish, marinate with cooking wine, salt and thirteen spices for half an hour. Wait for most of the soup in the pot to be roasted, set up a fork in the pot and put the plate containing the fish into the pot, twenty minutes later, the sauce is dry, the fish is steamed, Chaoying went to the front yard to find two partners to eat.
Chaoying: "You're still talking, let's go eat." ”
An Luo: "Whoever talks to him, I will treat him as if I don't know him in the future, and I won't say hello when I see him on the road." An Luo said childish words.
Lu Zhiang: "Okay, An Luo, I won't dislike you here, I won't come to help you again if you are too busy in the future." Lu Zhiang also said cruel words angrily.
It seems that for two or three hours, they have no other topics than quarrels. Could it be that Chaoying would have been wrong before? But after all, they are partners, and they are super hard to play a round field.
There was a lot of food cooked today, and no one was allowed to leave. Zhiang, I lend you to make sauce beef. Anluo, and your favorite steamed fish. But if you want to eat what I cooked, you have to make sure that you don't quarrel for a while.
Lu Zhiang: "Don't worry, sister, even for your sake, I won't quarrel with her again." ”
Anluo: "Hmph"
Lu Zhiang has a good attitude, but An Luo obviously hasn't come to his senses yet.
Lu Zhiang closed and locked the doors and windows of the front yard, and several people returned to the backyard together.
The two young people at the dinner table were sensible, and the dishes, chopsticks and food were all competing to be served on the table, and nothing was used by Chaoying to interfere.
An Luo: "Hey, how can you do such delicious food without wine, I'll buy wine later." ”
Chaoying: "Don't go, my sister has already bought it, and I know that you are good." ”
"Sister Chaoying still understands me. ”
Chaoying: "But I'll make a statement first, if you drink too much, you are not allowed to fight, let alone drunk, the baby in my belly is afraid of fright." ”
Lu Zhiang saw that Chaoying took out the wine, and he was not polite, he picked up a bottle of wine and drank it, An Luo saw that Lu Zhiang had already drunk it, thinking that he was at home anyway, and he didn't have to worry about drinking too much and suffering outside, so he didn't hesitate to pick up a bottle of wine, as if he would throw people to his grandmother's house if he drank one less than Lu Zhiang.
