Chapter 1100: The Old Man Who Sells Wontons
There are actually several wonton stalls in the capital at night, but Mu Yingbao only likes the one at the East City Gate. When I was hungry late in the night, and I didn't want to make it myself, and I didn't want to toss Chef Hua, I went out of the city to eat at that stall.
The stall owner was an old man in his sixties, one leg was lame, Mu Yingbao asked, only to know that the old man was a soldier when he was young and was injured on the field. There are disabled people, but they are very energetic, and their personalities are good, even if the business is not good, they are happy.
Although the clothes are patched, they are always clean.
His wontons are not only delicious, but they are also clean in the bowl for the wontons, the spoon for eating the wontons, and the small pot for the spices.
The tables and chairs are old, repaired, and there is not a single stain in sight.
Mu Yingbao once asked someone to help check the old man's situation, thinking about how to help him and improve his life.
The result of the investigation was that the old man had two sons and a daughter, both of whom had already started a family, and he had lived with his old wife and younger son.
The two sons, daughters-in-law, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren were very filial to both of them.
also persuaded him more than once to prevent him from working hard at night.
But he himself refused, saying that his body was very hard, and now he was idle and eating white food, looking at it as a blessing, and it would not be long before people were wasted.
The persuasion of his children was fruitless, so he had to leave it to him.
But when he goes out of the stall, his son and son-in-law will take turns to help, help him push the cart, set up the stall, and build the stove before leaving. In the middle of the night, I will come to help collect the stall and pick it up.
At that time, Xue Wenyu was curious, what method would she use to help the family improve their lives, and what tricks would she teach them to get rich? Or just give some silver?
Unexpectedly, this time, Mu Yingbao didn't teach anything, let alone give silver.
Xue Wenyu was curious and asked the reason.
Mu Yingbao said that although the old man's family is not very wealthy, the children are filial, hardworking, and the family is harmonious, which is the happiest family. Therefore, she didn't want to deliberately change the family.
Because sometimes, good intentions are not always good.
Therefore, every time Mu Yingbao and them came to eat wontons and paid for the silver, Mu Yingbao also paid as much as she wanted, and never gave more.
Even so, every time the old man cooks wontons, he will put a few more in each bowl.
But later, I only put more in the bowl of Mu Yingbao's two people. Because, Mu Yingbao gave the people who traveled with her and ordered double copies.
After coming and going, I am very familiar with the old man.
Therefore, when he left the palace at this time, even if he didn't explain the map, he knew that he would drive the car there directly.
When the carriage stopped, Xue Wenyu, who got off the carriage first, helped his daughter-in-law get out of the car, and saw the old man happily greet him; "Grandpa Guo, Madame is here."
While greeting, he carefully wiped the two chairs on the table with a cotton cloth.
As soon as the two of them saw this action, they immediately looked at each other, Mu Yingbao saw that he was frowning, and there was a chill in his eyes, so he hurriedly shook his head lightly with him.
Xue Wenyu looked at his daughter-in-law and sighed helplessly,
"The two of you are still the same as ever, chicken soup ravioli?" The old man asked with a smile on the side.
Xue Wenyu didn't respond, and sat there with his arms crossed.
When Mu Yingbao heard this, she couldn't help but laugh; "Yes, the same as ever."
"Okay, you two wait." The old man turned around and went to cook the ravioli.
Just as he was about to reach for the ravioli, he suddenly thought of something, stopped, and went to a bucket on the side of the stall to wash his hands carefully.
Seeing this, the smiles on the faces of Mu Yingbao and the others became stronger.
"Husband, it's not easy for the current killer to make a living." Mu Yingbao said with emotion, and saw that the old man's action of putting wontons in the pot was stagnant.
Xue Wenyu tidied up the corners of his robe very casually; "What's not easy, what they do is just licking blood on the knife edge. When I chose this profession, I naturally knew what would happen to this profession.
If you are lucky, you can live for a few more years, but if you are unlucky, you will have incomplete bones, and it is common for no one to restrain in the violent corpse wilderness. ”
When Xue Wenyu said this, he looked at his daughter-in-law and said it, he was very proud, he is probably the only man in the world who spoils his daughter-in-law so much!
As for Mu Yingbao, his ears listened, but his eyes looked at the old man, and when he saw him, his movements were another pause.
Although Xue Wenyu was still very calm and gentle when he saw his daughter-in-law's expression, he knew that it was not.
"Hey." I heard her sigh suddenly.
"Ma'am? Why sigh? Xue Wenyu asked with concern.
Mu Yingbao shook her head; "I just can't figure it out, husband, do you think some people have long brains? In the past few years, our family has met how many guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and now, aren't we still good?
You say that even if they are in a hurry and waiting to be reincarnated, can't they change the way? Do you have to go our way? Could it be that our side is a shortcut to the Hades Palace?
Husband, I have changed my mind now, and in the future, whenever we encounter that short-sighted goods, we will stop killing them and give them pleasure. Just cut off the meridians, cut off their tongues, and keep their dogs alive.
Keep their eyes and ears for them, let them watch, let them listen to how we are at ease.
After all, we want to accumulate some virtue for the child in the womb, right? ”
Hearing this, Xue Wenyu looked at his daughter-in-law a little speechlessly, he really didn't know what to say.
This, do you want to accumulate virtue for your children?
This is more cruel than killing people!
"What? You don't agree? Mu Yingbao asked seriously.
At the same time, I watched the old man come over with the wontons out of the pot, the hand holding the bowl, but he didn't shake at all, and the pace of one high and one low was as calm as before.
"Madame eat first, Grandpa Guo waits." The old man put a bowl of wontons in his hand on the table, and quickly turned around to serve another bowl on the stove.
As soon as Mu Yingbao reached out to take the spoon, she heard the man next to her cough lightly.
When I looked up, I saw him shaking his head slightly.
Mu Yingbao still took the spoon and scooped up a wonton in the bowl.
The bowl of wontons is still as clean as ever, and the wontons in the bowl are as good as ever, looking attractive and fragrant, whether they look or smell.
"Grandpa Guo uses it slowly." The old man limped over, put another bowl in front of Xue Wenyu, and then turned around to leave, that is, to return to the stove.
"Wait a minute, old man." Mu Yingbao spoke.
The old man looked at her in bewilderment; "What do you command, Madame?"
"There is a mosquito in this bowl, how can I eat it, I am tired of cooking another bowl." Mu Yingbao nodded the bowl with a spoon and said without anger.
Mosquito? Xue Wenyu on the side also followed to look into the bowl, and sure enough, there was a mosquito floating on the soup, although it was very small, but it was still quite obvious in the white wontons and green green onions.
Well? What's going on?
Now it's Xue Wenyu's turn to be puzzled, this mosquito ......
