All kinds of flavors in the world
There are many delicacies in the world, high-profile and luxurious Western food, special dishes mixed with various tastes, different people eat them, their consumption levels are also different, but in the end, the same thing is that they will always reminisce about the original taste of home.
It's not a high-end ingredient, it's not a great way to cook, it's just the most ordinary and fresh ingredients, just an ordinary home-cooked way of cooking. But in the end, I always miss this most ordinary taste.
Home cooking.
When a person in a foreign country is faced with different tastes, he will miss the taste of his own home immensely. When a wandering person in a big city faces the dilemma of having to fill her stomach, what she misses most is the taste of her mother's cooking.
In the face of all the strange bells and whistles, what people want most is to return to normality.
What Yiyu hopes for the most and wants to live the most is the kind of ordinary and small life that is treated kindly.
Bai Yi'an sandwiched a piece of fish to her, "Taste it, it's really delicious." ”
She picked out the thorns and put them in her mouth, the skin had a crispy texture, wrapped in the rich soup outside, salty and fresh.
"Hmm." She couldn't help but nod applaudively.
"And these dishes, too, are very good." Bai Yi'an pointed to the remaining dishes.
The stir-fried three shreds are made of shredded carrots, bean sprouts and leeks, which should be well timed, crispy and refreshing.
If the eggplant is done well, it must be very delicious, the eggplant becomes soft and sweet after oil, and the green beans form a different taste.
Dry stir-fried potatoes, in order to save time, although they look crispy on the surface, but the inside is half-raw. But today's food is different, the outside is crispy, the inside of the potatoes are very soft, with the outside of the spicy and flavorful seasoning, so that the potatoes, which are delicious in themselves, bring out the best taste.
Sweet and sour crispy pork. If you say it, crispy meat is a characteristic of Chongqing, suitable for ordering a plate when eating hot pot, which is added with Chongqing's characteristic peppercorns, which is fresh and spicy.
However, this restaurant has made improvements to adapt to the taste of the city, and although a thick layer of sweet and sour sauce is drizzled on the outside, it does not affect the crispiness of the crispy meat at all.
The sweet and sour sauce is not the kind of heavy flavor with a lot of condiments, but the kind of flavor that is prepared just right.
Yiyu tasted a few bites of each dish, these are really very good home-cooked dishes she has eaten recently, but unfortunately she doesn't eat much, if she can eat it, she can't wait to lick the plate into her stomach.
She hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to put down the chopsticks, but she really couldn't eat them.
"What's wrong? Why don't you eat it, every time I come here to eat, I am very distressed that I can only choose two, but I really want to eat, today thanks to your blessing, I ate a big bowl. Bai Yi'an noticed Yiyu's stop and said.
"I'm so full, but it's really delicious." Yiyu touched his stomach and signaled that he had eaten well.
"No wonder there are so many people here, it turns out that it is delicious." Yiyu said.
"Good food is the most likely reason for repeat business." Bai Yi'an said.
It's true that many restaurants nowadays only pay attention to their own packaging, but after you try it, you will find that the taste of the dishes is not good.
So now there are more and more delicious but small fly restaurants, which have become everyone's favorite place.
"There's quite a bit left...... We're both full, what are we going to do? Bai Yi'an looked at her.
"I'll pack it, it's enough for me to eat a few meals, or I can share it with my sister in the store." I just don't know, they are rare and I eat. ”
"That's fine, but you don't have to leave it for too long, put it in the refrigerator for too long, and you will have an upset stomach after eating." Bai Yi'an reminded.
She asked the proprietress to come and pack the box, and it took several bowls to finish it.
"Two of you walk slowly, come to our house to eat, and take care of your fill!" The hostess greeted them.
Although there are many people in this restaurant and the business is very busy, the price of the food is not expensive, and the proprietress has not changed her attitude because of this, but always pays attention to every customer and always treats people sincerely and enthusiastically.
Perhaps the good cooking is only part of the problem, and the service attitude of the proprietress is the reason why countless guests are willing to pay.
"I have to pick up Zhao Ke's class." Yiyu walked out of the store, thinking that he was in a different direction from Bai Yi'an.
"I'm fine, I'll send you there." Bai Yi'an said.
"It's probably not good to always bother you." Yiyu didn't want to trouble him all the time, how could he pay off the favor he owed him.
"It's easy for me to drive, it's not as troublesome as you think." Bai Yi'an couldn't cry or laugh, it seemed that every time she said such a proposal, she would say such a thing.
"However, it will delay your time, and the gas money is not cheap." Yiyu considered many factors, so he always felt that it was inappropriate.
"Let's go, don't be so burdened, it's not convenient for you to take the bus with so many packing boxes, right? So it's better to take my car, otherwise the food will get into the bus, and some people will be dissatisfied. Bai Yi'an tried desperately to convince her.
"Okay." Yiyu felt that what she considered was indeed very reasonable, and she didn't refuse.
But when she returned to the store, it was not Zhao Ke who was staying in the store, but Jiang Jiang.
She walked in and asked suspiciously, "Jiang Jiang, aren't you having a dinner?" Why are you here again? ”
Jiang Jiang was not in a good mood, not as cheerful and lively as before, "Sister Yiyu, Brother Zhao seems to have an accident at home." ”
"Something?"
"I was eating well, I received a call from Brother Zhao, his voice was very anxious, it seemed that something had happened to the family, he asked me to come over to work, I couldn't help but hear him be so anxious."
"Then why are you so distressed? Your expression is a little abnormal right now. ”
"You don't know, I missed my spring." Jiang Jiang pouted, looking aggrieved, "The main thing is that I met a very handsome little brother at the party, and I haven't had time to add friends yet!" Woohoo......"
"I thought something happened to you, did Zhao Ke call again, how is the situation at home now?"
"I don't know about this, Brother Zhao and I are not particularly familiar with each other, why do people call me to tell me."
"Got it." Yiyu ended the topic.
Zhao Ke helped himself so much, it must have been in order not to delay his own meal, so he didn't ask himself, and now that he knows that something happened at his house, he should call him anyway.
Even if it doesn't help, it's good to ask about the situation.
She dialed the phone, and her heart was beating fast.
Fortunately, after a while, it was connected.
"What's wrong?" Yiyu heard that the other party had no voice, and asked anxiously.
"My mom...... ...... the operation," a sigh came from the other side, very clearly.
"Is Auntie's surgery done? How's it going? Yiyu then asked.
"Not yet, I just entered the operating room, I don't know what the situation is, the doctor said it is critical."
"I'll come to you, if Auntie needs to be taken care of, I'll still be more careful than you."
"Thank you......" Zhao Ke's voice choked, and it took a long time before he said so.
"Which hospital is it, I'll rush there."
"Pu'an."
After Yiyu hung up the phone, he walked to the cashier: "It's up to you today, Jiang Jiang." ”
She ran out quickly, only to hear Jiang Jiang shouting something from behind, but she didn't hear it clearly, but Yiyu imagined that she must have said something that she couldn't complain about, but Yiyu didn't have time to tell her properly.
After calculating the fare from the convenience store to the hospital, it was still too expensive to take a taxi, and Yiyu later chose to take the subway and changed several times to reach his destination.
She ran to the emergency department, "Nurse, may I ask, which operating room is Zhao Ke's mother in?" ”
"Zhao Ke?" The nurse asked suspiciously, "Did you just send it?" ”
"It's been a while, but it's not too long."
"Yes...... Zhao Chunmei? The nurse checked the computer.
"It's just a son who came with her mother."
"Oh, that's what it should be, you go straight ahead, turn left, and you're there."
"Thank you." Yiyu ran over, she was in too much of a hurry all the way, and she was out of breath at this time.
She saw Zhao Ke squatting on the ground, covering her face with her hands, and she couldn't see what her expression was.
"Are you alright?" Yiyu walked over and patted him gently as he was squatting.
"You're here......" Zhao Ke's voice was hoarse, and he slowly raised his head, and Yiyu noticed that there were some tears on his face.
"Where's Auntie?"
"In the operating room, it hasn't been a long time now, but I don't feel like a year."
"I know, you relax and relax, although I haven't met Auntie, but Auntie must be auspicious, she will be fine." Yiyu has never seen Zhao Ke like this.
Fear of losing his loved ones must be what he is most afraid of now, he is absolutely calm in the face of this matter, not to mention, Zhao Ke once said that he and his mother depend on each other.
She was distressed, but she was also powerless, because no matter how much she comforted her, his pain would not be alleviated in the slightest.
"Sit down in a chair, and I'll buy you water." Yiyu helped Zhao Ke up, probably because he had been squatting for too long, and he stumbled a little when he got up, and almost fell down because of his unstable center of gravity.
At this time, his companionship is more important than saying a thousand words to comfort him.
She walked to the vending machine next to the hospital and bought two bottles of mineral water, she didn't dare to stay for a moment, she walked to the chair next to the operating room and sat down next to Zhao Ke.
"Drink some water." Yiyu handed it to him.
"Thank you...... I'm sorry for you today, I shouldn't have let you make this trip, but I'm a little afraid I won't be able to handle it. Zhao Ke took the water and poured a few mouthfuls like a life-saving straw.
"You've helped me so much, it's nothing today." Yiyu smiled, wanting to provide him with some weak strength.
After waiting for a long time, the light outside the operating room dimmed, and the doctors and nurses pushed out the bed.
In despair, the white sheet covered the head of the person in the hospital bed......
