Chapter 41: Crayfish
Gu Xidong took a step back and said, "Boss, the guest ordered barbecue and shabu-shabu." ”
"Then you hurry up." Seeing Gu Xidong leave, Wang Qingchun suddenly remembered something, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Xiao Gu!" ”
Gu Xidong turned around.
"Bring back five bottles of cooking wine ......"
Gu Xidong raised his hand.
Looking at the back of the young man gradually moving away, Wang Qingchun shook his head regretfully, "It's a down-to-earth baby, but it's a pity that it won't last long." ”
"You said Xiao Gu, boss." Aunt Wu came over with the washed dishes.
"yes. When I first used him, I still thought he didn't talk much, and he didn't have Xiao Jiang's life, but who knows, he is really capable. After Wang Qingchun finished speaking, he approached the column next to the stove, stretched out his oily index finger, dotted it on a plastic splint tied to it, and then scooped a spoonful of vegetable oil with an iron spoon and poured it into the iron pot.
Aunt Wu put the clean plate on the shelf next to the stove, "Not really." Since the arrival of Xiao Gu in our store, business has obviously been much better than before. You see the menu he asked you to change, and after adding pictures, the guests feel fresh, and there is nothing bad to say. and the rubbed down the order menu on the column, he marked the order for you, you just fry it, and you will never be in a hurry like before. Xiao Gu, it's just that there are few words, but the words are less and he seems calm, you see the dishes he recommends to those hesitant guests, one push is accurate, and the guests will only have more or no less. ”
"How can I not know how good he is, I hate to let him follow me all the time, but unfortunately he said before he came, he is a student, he can only work for a month, and he is still an hourly worker. I guess his family environment is not good, otherwise a child of his age would not be willing to come to this place to suffer! Wang Qingchun said.
"I didn't dare to ask, for fear of hurting his pride." Aunt Wu looked at the brightly dressed boys and girls in the night market, and sighed softly, "Alas, this person is more popular than the dead. ”
Wang Qingchun picked up the iron spoon and scratched the bottom of the smoking pot, grabbed a handful of pre-cut green onions and ginger and threw them into the pot.
"Zila!" The flames rose a few feet high, orange-red flames wrapped around the round iron pot, Wang Qingchun skillfully stir-fried the base, and a sonorous sound attracted many diners to stop.
"Xiao Zhen, this one looks good, let's eat here." In the crowd of onlookers, a young woman with a round face pulled a girl in a plaid shirt and said.
"Seafood...... It's quite expensive, let's go eat noodles......" Jia Xiaozhen shrank back.
"Noodles, noodles, you know how to eat noodles, after eating mung bean noodles for a week, we are both about to turn into mung beans!" The round-faced girl grumbled while pulling Jia Xiaozhen towards the seafood house, "You have been here for so long, I haven't entertained you well, it doesn't make sense to be reasonable." ”
"Fangfang ......" Jia Xiaozhen grabbed Jia Fangfang, a fellow villager who came a year earlier than her, "I really don't need it." ”
Just eat a bowl of noodles, eat these things that she has never seen before, she really has some worries in her heart.
"You listen to me." Jia Fangfang dragged her into the seafood house and found a vacant seat to sit down, "Boss, order!" ”
"Right away." Wang Qingchun turned around and grinned at the two little girls, and shouted at Aunt Wu, "Sister Wu, you greet the guests first." ”
"Hey! Here it comes. Aunt Wu answered from afar.
The two girls didn't have a lot of food, so they ordered a buy-one-get-one-free crayfish, a plate of spicy fried razor clams, and two bowls of rice, and chatted while eating.
"Look at your sad face, isn't it going well to find a job today? Didn't you say that Sister Xiaohui helped you find it? Jia Fangfang asked.
Jia Xiaozhen remembered the day when she subverted her perception of life, and couldn't help grinning bitterly and didn't make a sound.
There are some things that no matter how close a friend is, you can't share.
Jia Fangfang thought that she was having difficulties in finding a job, so she waved her hand and comforted Jia Xiaozhen: "Xiaozhen, don't be discouraged, I went to Shuoyang at that time and ran in the city for four months to find my current job." ”
Four months?
Jia Xiaozhen's eyes widened, this has been too long.
When she came out to work, she promised her parents that if she couldn't find a job in three months, she would go back to the countryside to prepare for a blind date and get married.
But she was only twenty years old, and she didn't want to spend her whole life in the mountains with no end in sight, so she wanted to come out and break through and see what the life of the city people was like that was the envy of the villagers.
"Xiaozhen, you have been smarter than me since you were a child, you are better at studying than me, and with the help of Sister Xiaohui, it is definitely not difficult to find a job."
Is that really the case?
Jia Xiaozhen looked at the crowded night market, but felt that she was getting farther and farther away from this bustle......
The red crayfish was served, and Jia Fangfang taught Jia Xiaozhen to eat shrimp.
"You put on your gloves first, break off the shrimp head, hey, hey, don't throw it, there is shrimp yellow in the head. Suck it like me, suck it, the poison won't kill you! Look at your little cowardice! Hahaha...... What's the matter, is it fragrant? ”
"Fishy ......" Jia Xiaozhen frowned and smacked her lips.
This taste.
Jia Fangfang glanced at her and said, "You, you just stayed in the mountains for a long time and treated yourself stupidly." Tell you, there are so many delicious and fun things in this city, so what's the point. Hey, hey, don't throw the shrimp tails, there's still meat in them! ”
Jia Xiaozhen watched Jia Fangfang do a trick, pulled out a piece of white meat from the red shrimp belly, and then pinched the end of the meat wheel and dipped it in the red and bright sauce on the crayfish plate, and leaned towards her face.
"Open your mouth."
For her?
Jia Xiaozhen was stunned, twisted her eyebrows and opened her mouth.
"When eating shrimp, you must dip it in the sauce so that it tastes good."
The warm shrimp meat rubbed against the lower lips and landed on the tip of the tongue, a little springy, and the mouth was filled with the wonderful taste of garlic and other spices, which inexplicably aroused people's appetite.
She swallowed her saliva and chewed slowly under the encouragement of Fangfang's eyes......
After an hour, after eating and drinking, the two girls settled the bill.
"I'm sorry, Fangfang, I didn't know that crayfish were so expensive, I asked for an extra one...... Otherwise, I'll pay for this meal, and I'll go back and get it to you. Jia Xiaozhen said with a guilty face.
"You look down on me?" Jia Fangfang puffed out her cheeks.
"No, no, I didn't mean that." Fangfang is her good sister who has played since she was a child, otherwise, she would not bypass her sister Jia Xiaohui and come all the way to join her.
Jia Fangfang looked at Jia Xiaozhen, who had simple eyes, first sighed, then smiled, and said, "I know what you mean, you are afraid that I will be poor, right, it's okay, Xiaozhen, although my salary is not high now, I can still get the money to treat you to a meal of seafood." As for you, don't have any burden, just live with peace of mind with me, and look for a job slowly, without worry. ”
Jia Xiaozhen's eyes were red and nodded, "Thank you, Fangfang." ”
Jia Fangfang smiled, "Let's go, go home." ”
She was the first to get up and walk outside.
Jia Xiaozhen followed, but as soon as she took a few steps, a figure rushed over from the oblique stab and crashed straight into her.
She was originally thin, and she was unprepared for the suddenness of the incident, so she was knocked several meters away and hit the pillar at the door before she stopped tremblingly.
Half of his body was numb and painful, and his eyes were full of golden light, and he couldn't see anything clearly, only to hear Jia Fangfang pulling her voice in a hearty voice, loudly reprimanding the person who caused trouble.
She leaned against the pillar and gasped for breath very slowly.
"How are you? Does it matter? Suddenly, a low and hoarse male voice sounded in his ears.
She tried to keep her eyes open, and gradually saw each other's faces clearly in a strange golden light.
The faint fishy smell of seafood and the rich aroma of sauce were all around, and the noise was still there, but Jia Xiaozhen still recognized at a glance that the boy in front of her, who was not a few years younger than her, was the boy who was supporting Song Xiuru in the hospital today.
