“X？ Brother Kui, what does this mean? ”

Looking at the big X-shaped symbol on the table, my head was mushy.

Really, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I don't know what this X represents?

Seeing me looking at myself with a puzzled expression, Zhang Fakui seemed to be a little anxious.

He hesitated for a long time, and his hands kept gesturing at me.

One time pointing to the X on the table, the other pointing out of the room.

I nodded and shook my head again, because I knew that the person he was referring to was Hu Yao, but I really couldn't guess what the X word meant.

"Brother Kui, don't keep making comparisons, do you have something to say directly?"

I was a little stunned by Zhang Fakui, and I couldn't help but say.

It's meant to be, what can't you say to your face?

Even if it's about Hu Yao, he's not here now, what's there to avoid?

As soon as he heard my words, Zhang Fakui waved his hand in mid-air and paused slightly.

Then, I saw that his eyes had darkened significantly, and the whole person was like a double eggplant, wilting in an instant.

What's going on?

I'm even more overwhelmed, could it be that I said the wrong thing just now?

"Alas, brother, it's not that my brother doesn't want to speak, it's that he can't."

At this time, Zhang Facai on the side couldn't help but pat Zhang Fakui's shoulder, sighed first, and then explained to me:

"At the beginning, my younger brother didn't listen to me, so he had to go out to make money, but as a result, he became like this."

"What do you mean?"

"What else does it mean? He doesn't have a tongue. ”

Glancing at me angrily, Zhang Facai said with some frustration.

"No tongue?"

I was completely stunned, what does it mean to have no tongue?

Where did his tongue go?

Before I could ask a question, Zhang Fakui had already opened his mouth and pointed to his mouth with his hand, motioning for me to look for myself.

Looking into Zhang Fakui's open mouth, his tongue was indeed gone.

Or rather, it's just very short, not even 3 centimeters by visual inspection.

And looking at the fracture of his tongue, it is not difficult to find that the crack is extremely uneven, which is obviously caused by the day after tomorrow.

"Where is Brother Kui's tongue?"

To be honest, when I saw Zhang Fakui's small half of his tongue, I felt my scalp tingle.

"What tongue? Want to eat a mouthful? Don't worry, I ordered. ”

While speaking, Hu Yao had already opened the door curtain and came back.

I didn't bother to answer him, and continued to ask Zhang Facai, why did Brother Kui not have this tongue?

Zhang Fakui did not answer immediately, but looked at Zhang Facai beside him.

Seeing that the latter didn't react, he just stared at Hu Yao with a pair of big eyes, and then slowly told Zhang Fakui about it.

About half a year ago, there was another big flood in the village, and the villagers' fish ponds were washed away one after another.

Because of the perennial fishing, the people of Hongshui Village are not short of money.

Therefore, taking this opportunity, the villagers also had a rare rest for a while.

It's just that Zhang Fakui, who was born to be idle, didn't want to waste time in vain.

rejected the obstruction of his eldest brother Zhang Facai, Zhang Fakui casually packed his luggage and went to the city to work.

It is estimated that because of his good skills since he was a child, Zhang Fakui quickly found a job, that is, the night chef of the night star restaurant.

Although Zhang Fakui is sincere, he is not stupid, and at first he also suspected that the salary was still so high after working less than 4 hours a day.

Isn't there anything greasy here?

But when Wang Dayou paid him the first month's salary, his worries were completely dispelled.

At this point, Zhang Fakui has been working in the night evening fragrance restaurant for a long time.

In Zhang Facai's words, the first two months were nothing, and the problem was in the third month.

One day in the third month, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, a man dressed in Republic of China costume came to the restaurant.

Except for his pale face and strange clothes, the man was not much different from ordinary people.

Zhang Fakui asked the man what he wanted to eat?

The man directly named him to eat braised lamb.

Mutton is a taboo for nightshade, how can Zhang Fakui not know this truth?

But the problem is that without waiting for Zhang Fakui to refuse, the man took out a handful of 100 yuan bills and slapped them on the table.

Zhang Fakui glanced at it, and it was estimated that it was no less than 5,000 yuan.

He is an honest man, and when he sees so much money, the first thing he thinks about is not to keep it for himself, but to think again:

If he could generate so much income in one night, would Wang Dayou be happy to pay him more wages?

Therefore, under the temptation of money, Zhang Fakui still chose to accept this business.

However, before he could go to cook, the man said that he must use the oil from a jar in the corner of the back kitchen to cook.

When I heard this, I immediately remembered.

When Wang Dayou asked me to cook mutton dishes for Qin Suyu, the mutton was placed in a large jar sealed with a white cloth.

Later, when I was taking the mutton, I also found a small jar with a yellow cloth on the side.

However, Wang Dayou told me at the time that the jar of yellow cloth should never be opened.

At that time, I was still suspicious, it's just a restaurant, what's so unseemly?

Later, because of the constant accidents, this incident was gradually forgotten by me.

It wasn't until now that Zhang Facai mentioned this that I remembered it again.

Dare to love that yellow cloth jar is filled with oil?

However, what puzzled me was, since it was oil, why was it hidden?

"Brother Kui used the oil in the jar?"

I couldn't help but ask.

"Why don't you say this kid is stupid."

Zhang Facai sighed and continued to babble to the two of us:

Zhang Fakui felt that after receiving money from others, he had to make a dish that satisfied the guests.

So, without thinking much about it, he opened the package and made a red stewed mutton dish with the oil in the jar.

Don't say it, I don't know what the difference between that oil and other oils, as soon as the mutton is cooked, the burst of aroma hooks Zhang Fakui's soul.

In Zhang Fakui's own words at that time, he had never smelled such a fragrant fragrance.

So, after the man was full of wine and food, Zhang Fakui couldn't help it and used the oil to fry himself a plate of peanuts.

At this point, Zhang Fakui can no longer do without the oil.

Even, as long as the usual meals are not stir-fried without that oil, he can't eat them at all.

The seductive effect is more awesome than smoking a big cigarette.

"Then how did Brother Kui's tongue not exist?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask.

"Hey", as soon as he heard this, Zhang Facai talked again:

"Who can be blamed for this? Don't say I'm scaring you, young man, if I say he bit out his tongue himself, would you believe it? ”

"Biting it off yourself?"

This time it was Hu Yao who spoke, his brows had been twisted into a pimple at this time, and a pair of small eyes were like a knife, sweeping on Zhang Fakui's face, and said sharply:

"What the hell is going on?"

"Be quiet, don't you see that my brother doesn't like you?"

glaring at Hu Yao viciously, Zhang Facai turned his head to me and said:

"Let's put it this way, his tongue was bitten off by his teeth, but not by himself, do you understand?"
