It didn't take long for the first customers of the restaurant to arrive. It was an old couple with white hair and four or five young men and women of varying heights. The old couple shouted when they entered the door: "Ah Ping Ah Ping, the old rules, two cage beds, a plate of fried beef." ”

Xu Wenlong hurriedly ran over and enthusiastically made tea and served dishes and chopsticks for them.

"This little brother is ......" The old man looked at Xu Wenlong with a suspicious gaze and asked, "The face is very raw, did you just come?" ”

Guo Yanping, who heard the news, immediately said: "He is my eldest nephew, and he has just helped." Uncle, you're early. ”

"Morning," the old man named Dong Ye nodded, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Xu Wenlong and said, "What a beautiful boy!" ”

"Thank you for your compliments, please take your time." Xu Wenlong smiled slightly, gently put down the teapot in his hand, and ran to receive the young men and women, wrote down the cage beds and small fried food they ordered, and handed them to Guo Yanping who entered the kitchen.

A quarter of an hour later, Guo Yanping in the kitchen shouted "serve". So Xu Wenlong ran over non-stop, brought two cage beds and a plate of fried beef to the old couple with a special tray, and gently lifted the cage bed cover......

Suddenly, a rich fragrance came to the nostrils, wafting in every corner of the hall, attracting other customers to look at it and want to see what kind of delicious it was.

Dong Ye sniffed hard, with a slight look of surprise and inexplicability on his face, and then picked up a pair of chopsticks, gently inserted them into the bottom of the cage bed, and slowly flipped them up, revealing the taro, sweet potatoes and other ingredients underneath......

Xu Wenlong, who was on the side, hurriedly reminded him: "The cage bed is not eaten like this, you should eat slowly from top to bottom, and then eat from the position in front of you and ...... around."

Dong Ye looked at Xu Wenlong noncommittally, picked up a small piece of yellow, slightly trembling pork belly, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, closed his eyes and savored it.

Xu Wenlong and the other diners couldn't help but be puzzled, and they all looked at the strange old man without moving.

Dong Ye "Gollum" swallowed the pork belly, opened his eyes suddenly, put the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and shouted in his mouth: "Ah Ping Ah Ping......"

Xu Wenlong was frightened, and hurriedly said to Dong Ye: "Grandpa, what are you...... Is this a bad job of the cage bed? ”

Dong Ye waved his hand, indicating that it was none of his business.

When the other customers saw it, they all whispered.

Xu Wenlong became more and more anxious, scratching his ears and cheeks, and the group was spinning around. What can I do? The base is all prepared by myself, and the meat is also cut by myself. But looking at the old man's expression and reaction, it is obvious that he can't do it, or even terrible! Now it's okay, the interview is probably going to be yellow.

When Guo Yanping heard the call, she quickly put down the work in her hand, trotted out all the way, and said to Dong Ye with a smile: "Dong Ye, what's wrong with you?" Is there anything else you need? ”

"No need." Dongye patted Guo Yanping's shoulder, and said with a smile on his face, "Ah Ping, today I finally tasted your authentic cage bed taste again." Spicy and delicious, slippery and tender. It's so rare, it's so rare! ”

Xu Wenlong had a false alarm, and his whole body suddenly became relaxed and happy.

One diner muttered in a low voice, "I say, the color is so good, the aroma is so strong, how bad can the taste be?" ”

Dong Ye squinted his eyes and continued: "The cage bed some time ago, not to mention the taste, the base material alone is either big or small, either ripe as mud, or hard and half-cooked. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the 'Stars and the Moon', I really wouldn't want to come and eat it? But who is to blame? After all, you were all busy at that time. Now, I'm back to feeling like I was feeling again. ”

"Yes, yes." Guo Yanping pointed at Xu Wenlong with a proud face and said, "So you have to thank my eldest nephew, he basically handled the chopping, side dishes, and seasoning." ”

"Really?" Dong Ye looked at Xu Wenlong with an unbelievable gaze, gave a thumbs up and praised again and again, "Not bad, what a capable pretty boy!" ”

When Dong Ye slowly left with a satisfied expression and sighed three times in one step, there were more and more diners in the store, and finally reached the level of fullness. Not only was the hall full and overcrowded, but even the private rooms had temporarily added several tables. However, many customers still walked into the restaurant one after another, swallowing saliva and waiting patiently for others to leave.

Xu Wenlong made tea, took wine, delivered drinks, served food, checked out, wiped tables and chairs, ran in and out like a spinning top, busy before and after, and worked hard to deal with the steady stream of customers. When encountering individual picky customers, you have to patiently explain to them and change them until they are satisfied. And for some successful people who are arrogant and empty-eyed, he is not arrogant, humble, annoyed, and always smiles at them. He was busy until about three o'clock in the afternoon, until he saw off the last group of customers, and he found a stool to sit down, his clothes soaked and his stomach growled.

Guo Yanping was even more tired and sore, her legs fell, and she collapsed on the chair, exhausted and never remembered again. She gasped for breath and complained with joy, "Today...... There are so many customers today that I don't know more than usual...... I don't know how much. It really wears me out......"

Xu Wenlong picked up a large pot of cold water and poured it down, wiped his mouth and said to Guo Yanping after drinking: "Is it not good to have customers?" Why don't you get into the door when you don't get in? ”

"You too...... You're tired enough, too. Hurry up, hurry up and get some beer. I don't feel so tired when I drink it. Guo Yanping looked at Xu Wenlong, who was sweating profusely, and urged him to get a beer to drink.

"It's out of the way, and I don't want to drink right now." Xu Wenlong put down the teapot and picked up the mop, ready to wipe down the messy floor so that he could welcome the evening customers.

"You...... Are you crazy? Can you fight hard? Guo Yanping was very anxious, and quickly staggered to his feet, snatching the mop from his hand.

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Xu Wenlong snatched the mop again, dragged Guo Yanping to sit on the chair, and then told her with a relaxed face, "What is this accumulation?" Compared with the training of the army, it is more than ten or a hundred times more comfortable. ”

"This stupid boy." Guo Yanping couldn't stop it, and she couldn't stop it, so she had to sit on the chair and stare dryly.

Xu Wenlong carefully wiped the floor, tables and chairs, cleaned up the bottles and empty cans after drinking, and then sorted out the used dishes and chopsticks and returned them to the cleaning company for cleaning. It wasn't until the store was clean and there was nothing else to do that he said to Guo Yanping, who had been looking around him: "Auntie, you can rest for a while, and I'll go cook." ”

Guo Yanping stood up from the chair with a "huff", and said with a calm face, angry and annoyed: "You are going to cook again, Auntie is really going to be angry." Be obedient, sit down and rest, drink two glasses of wine, and the meal will be cooked by the aunt. After speaking, she took out two bottles of beer from the wine cabinet and stuffed them into Xu Wenlong's hand.

"Okay, okay." Xu Wenlong looked at the beer in his hand, and then at Guo Yanping, whose face was sinking like water, so he had to smile bitterly and stop arguing with her.

"That's what it sounds like." Guo Yanping slowed down her face and quickly cheered up and walked towards the kitchen.

With just one cup of tea, three fragrant and delicious powder steamer beds neatly placed on the table, plus a stir-fried beef, a red stewed pig's trotters, and a tender three-fresh soup, the belated lunch is indeed very rich.

Xu Wenlong's eyes lit up, his saliva flowed, and he didn't dare to pick up the cage bed on the table and swallow it in his stomach.

"Eat, eat, I'm starving." Guo Yanping wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, smiled and said to the salivating Xu Wenlong, "Eat with confidence, eat as much as you can, leave me alone, I'm really tired, I'm full, I can't eat anything." ”

Xu Wenlong agreed, sat down unceremoniously, picked up chopsticks and attacked frequently, opened his mouth and chewed heavily, ate the cage bed to swallow beef, drank fresh soup and gnawed pig's trotters, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, like a storm sweeping the clouds, until he was sweating profusely, his mouth was full of oil, and he almost forgot everything around him in the dark.

When Guo Yanping saw it, she couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "Eat slowly, eat slowly, it's not enough, it's not enough, you can do it again......"

Xu Wenlong nodded, chewed a piece of pig's trotter and said vaguely, "Hmm...... Good...... Why don't you eat some......"

Guo Yanping smiled lightly, picked up a small piece of pink fish with chopsticks, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly.

After drinking the last bowl of fresh soup, Xu Wenlong smacked his lips, put down his chopsticks with satisfaction, looked at the cage bed stir-fry nine times out of ten, and said shyly: "I'm really embarrassed, I'm ...... I ate it all up alone. ”

"It's food when it's cooked, so don't you use it to see?" Guo Yanping said in a reproachful tone, "Look at how hungry you are." The next time you're hungry, say that you can take the time to go into the kitchen and eat something, don't stiffen up. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Wenlong scratched his head and replied embarrassedly.

After eating lunch and tidying up the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs, Xu Wenlong said to Guo Yanping: "Aunt Guo, if you ...... If you say yes, I would like to ...... I want to go back to Changlong Town......"

Guo Yanping was stunned, and asked with a puzzled face: "Changlong Town?" What are you going to do in Long Dragon? ”

Xu Wenlong sighed, 1510 roughly told him how he met Yang Yingying, and finally stressed shyly: "If I don't go back and say goodbye to her, she may be too worried to do it again." So...... So ......"

After Guo Yanping listened, she wiped the tears that kept falling, and said to Xu Wenlong with red eyes: "Poor and lovely little girl, it's time to go back and say goodbye to her." You go back and tell her that if she likes it, if she wants, she can come to live at Auntie's house at any time, anyway, Jing'er is lonely and has no company......"
