Chapter 36 The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys
The aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley, the street where several people set up stalls is an east-west alley, the middle is the station, this alley can also be called Zhanqian Street according to the current saying, there is a north-south street at the easternmost end of the street, and this street is full of some uninhabited old houses. This street should be regarded as a street that existed at the beginning of the construction of Linshan County, and it can also be regarded as the birthplace of Linshan County, because this street is too remote, and most of the young residents on the street have moved out of here and rebuilt houses in the county.
After the county seat is completed, there are support policies above, which can help the remaining old people move to the county center, it may be that people are old and more nostalgic, and finally there are still a group of old people left in this small alley.
The small restaurant that a few people go to is located on this old street, the small restaurant is an ordinary house, there is no tall courtyard wall, a magnificent gate, and there is no gorgeous signboard, and only one word "Li" is written on the wooden signboard of the restaurant.
"Uncle Yang, this is the restaurant you said." Fang Si raised his finger and pointed with a hint of doubt on his face. When he came, Uncle Yang said that he would take a few people to a secret base, saying that the food inside was better than all the restaurants in the county.
Uncle Yang smiled without saying a word, and took the lead into the small restaurant.
There were five or six tables in the restaurant, and they were just tables, and there were not a single guest, and behind the wooden counter sat a woman with a headscarf, and the woman put her arms on the counter, and her head was drowsy, and it was obvious that there were no guests for a long time before a few people came.
"Sister-in-law Huo, don't do business!"
The woman's head was about to hit the counter, and by this shout, she instantly lifted her senses, squinted her eyes, and was not in a hurry to speak after seeing the person who came, she stretched her waist and yawned big,
"Don't do your business, do my Xiaoxi's business."
Xiao Xi had already run to the counter and was half lying on the counter, "Aunt Huo." ”
The woman known as Aunt Huo gently rubbed Xiaoxi's hair, and said with a doting smile, "Grow taller!" Then he smiled and quipped, "I haven't come to visit Aunt Huo for so long, has Xiaoxi forgotten Aunt Huo." ”
"What's the matter, people have started school. Just had a holiday these days. ”
Aunt Huo took the hand that was soft and lightly tapped on her smooth forehead, "Look at my memory." ”
"Boss Yang, what are you going to eat today?" Aunt Huo took her arm and re-stabbed her head,
"The same way, the same way."
"Gotcha! Find your own place to sit. Aunt Huo turned around and walked to the back kitchen, and turned back halfway through, "By the way, the old man went out to play chess, and the braised pork won't be made for you." ”
Before Uncle Yang could speak, Xiao Xi instantly made a bitter face, "Ang, Grandpa Li is not here!" My braised pork! ”
Aunt Huo bent her eyebrows, with a doting face, "Auntie will make more pork ribs for Xiaoxi, and next time you come, let Grandpa Li make you more braised pork." ”
"Hee-hee, good!"
"No, no, just do it normally, give her all the habits."
Aunt Huo put away her smiling face and snorted coldly at Uncle Yang, "I'm willing." ”
Uncle Yang smiled awkwardly, didn't say anything, and took a few people to find a seat, there was no private room in the small restaurant, only a few wooden tables in the hall, a few people sat down at the big round table in the middle, and Aunt Huo went to the back kitchen to work on the food.
There were six people at the dinner table, except for Xiaoxi and Uncle Yang, the remaining four people all looked at each other, and finally focused their eyes on the two of them, and before a few people asked, Uncle Yang took the lead and said, "This small restaurant has a history of nearly 20 years, and it is older than a few of you, and Aunt Huo just now is not the boss." Speaking of this, Uncle Yang paused, and then continued, "It should be regarded now, the previous boss is Grandpa Li in Xiaoxi's mouth, this Boss Li has two uniques, one of which is this braised pork, the braised pork he makes is the same as ordinary braised pork, the only difference is that his meat is marinated in his own secret sauce before cooking, this kind of meat is made of vegetables, tsk, the bite is full of gravy, the gravy entrance is as refreshing as mint, and the mouth is completely free of the greasy taste of fatty meat." As he spoke, Uncle Yang slapped his mouth twice, as if he had already eaten that bite of braised pork. Several people listened to Uncle Yang's description and couldn't help but fantasize about it.
"Li Baitong?" Sun Er interjected. Everyone focused their eyes on Sun Er. Sun Er scratched his head, "I've heard ,,,Liu Erbiao talk about it before, but I haven't been here either." The young third master almost said the two words, thinking that several people here had some festivals with Liu Erbiao, so he immediately stopped talking.
"It's really Li Baitong, it's normal that he hasn't been here, but now few people have come, and the people in this small alley have also walked nine out of ten over the years, and the few old people left have also reached the end of their sixtieth year. In the past few years, although there were not many people, there were still a few tables of regular customers, and there have been fewer and fewer people over the years. ”
Xiao Xi nodded in agreement.
"Then since this Grandpa Li is so delicious, why don't you go to the county town to open a shop, or pass on the craft while you can still do an apprentice." Lin asked
"The old man doesn't like to go, and I don't like to go out." Aunt Huo took a plate of peanuts and walked out of the back kitchen, "Let's eat some peanuts first!" We'll have to wait a while for the rice to steam. Putting the peanuts on the table, Aunt Huo found another stool to sit on the side and crossed Erlang's legs, then took out a box of cigarettes from her pocket, and was about to light them, probably realizing that a group of children around her, she put away the smoke and fire on the table again, "The old man has an apprentice, and later," Speaking of this, Aunt Huo exhaled, "If he dies, the old man will not accept it." ”
"Dead!" Outside Xiaoxi, several children all exclaimed in surprise, and Uncle Yang waved his hand to signal them not to make a fuss.
Uncle Yang picked up the box of cigarettes from the table, the cigarette box was already worn, the words and paintings on it may be almost unclear because of frequent rubbing, and the two words on the cigarette box could be faintly seen, "Ximei" Uncle Yang took out one from it and handed it to Aunt Huo, Aunt Huo slapped the cigarette off, "Take my cigarettes to honor me, and you are the boss like this?" Uncle Yang was not annoyed, and put the cigarette case back on the table with a smile.
Aunt Huo stood up, "I'll go make pork ribs for my Xiaoxi, you are not lucky to eat the old man's braised pork today." ”
After Aunt Huo left, Lin Zhi bent down and picked up the cigarette that fell to his feet, the cigarette was stained with a little dust, Lin Zhi blew lightly, wiped it with his sleeve, revealing the words on the cigarette, "Hongta Mountain" Lin Zhi was stunned for a moment, and stuffed it back into the cigarette box named "Ximei". Looking at Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang smiled helplessly and took the box of cigarettes and put it back on the counter, "This is the wedding cigarette for her marriage, the cigarette has been smoked for so long, but the cigarette box has been kept, and when she came over a few years ago, she brought her a few boxes of new "Ximei" but she didn't accept it, only said no," said as he spoke, probably realizing that he had talked a little too much with this group of children, took a long breath, and changed the topic,
"The old man in her mouth, the owner of this restaurant is her father-in-law."
"How can Aunt Huo call herself an old man! It's so rude. Fang Si suddenly spoke.
Uncle Yang slapped Fang Si with his backhand, "Little rabbit, know how to be polite." ”
Fang Si puffed out his cheeks, hummed and chirped and stopped talking, feeling aggrieved in his stomach.
Xiao Xi explained: "Aunt Huo and Grandpa Li's tempers have always been at odds before they got married, Uncle Li left on the day he married Aunt Huo, thinking that Aunt Huo would leave this family, after all, it was not a door, but Aunt Huo went through all the wedding procedures alone and entered the door of the Li family." After speaking, Xiaoxi added, "My dad said it." ”
Uncle Yang reached out to rub his daughter's head, but was gently dodged by Xiaoxi, "Except for Old Man Li, only his son can make braised pork, it's not that Old Man Li doesn't teach you Aunt Huo, it's just that she says she won't learn anything." ”
After listening to Xiaoxi's words, Fang Si lost his anger and realized that he might have said the wrong thing, so he stopped talking.
"Then isn't the inheritance of this braised pork broken?" Lin asked
Uncle Yang's eyes were a little confused, and then he exhaled, "I can't break it." After speaking, he didn't explain, as if he was in deep thought.
"What about this second one!" Lin Zhi changed the subject.
Li Mo and Sun Er were also looking forward to it, they never thought that they would know so many stories when they came out for a meal.
"This is the second must!" Uncle Yang didn't continue, picked up a peanut and ate it by himself, but Xiao Xi on the side couldn't help it, and was about to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stuffed with a peanut, Xiao Xi glanced at her father and muttered, "Hmph! God is mysterious, and he won't let me say it. Uncle Yang sold a pass, "This second must be coming soon." ”
"Wow! It smells so good! Li Mo narrowed the pair of autumn water long eyes, a look of intoxication, and when he opened his eyes, he saw five pairs of big eyes staring at him in unison, the girl couldn't help blushing, lowered her head, and whispered, "It's really fragrant." ”
Fang Si immediately answered: "Mmmm, it's really fragrant." It's okay not to say it, as soon as Fang Si said this, the remaining four people glanced at each other, smiled together and said, "Yes, fragrant." ”
The girl's face turned even redder, and her head was almost under the large round table.
A faint smell of meat wafted out of the kitchen, with a sweet smell.
"It's coming, it's coming."
Aunt Huo brought a big white porcelain plate, the plate was covered with a large white round bowl, and the fragrance wafted out of the plate, Aunt Huo slowly put the plate in front of Xiao Xi, and took advantage of the situation to knock down the two paws that touched the plate, "You're all in the kitchen, take it yourself." ”
As soon as the words fell, the owner of the claws turned into a black shadow and rushed to the kitchen, and after a while, he brought out a plate that was the same as that of a touch, and the young man put the plate in front of Li Mo, and couldn't help but boo.
"Men serve themselves, and the master doesn't serve men,"
"Huh~"
A few people came to the kitchen and saw the same four remaining plates, and Aunt Huo's voice came from the hall, "There is also a plate of pork ribs on the left, bring it together."
