Osmanthus Street is a century-old street.

Most of the residents who live here have lived here for several generations, and their lives are very regular, and they all rest at about ten o'clock.

Uncle Mo, who is a pot helmet, will set up a barbecue stall at the corner of the street after closing the stall.

At that time, barbecue had become popular.

A small charcoal stove, a piece of barbed wire, and you can do business.

Uncle Mo is a very hard-working person, playing pot helmets during the day and making barbecues at night, usually closing the stall at two or three o'clock in the evening, and getting up early in the morning to go to the farmers' market to buy vegetables.

Many people say that he is beaten with iron and does not know how to be tired.

One night, relatives came to Yin Xiaoyue's house,

There are a lot of children, and the noise affects the chatting of adults, so Li Aizhen took out ten yuan to Yin Xiaoyue and asked her to take the children out to eat barbecue:

"Don't go far, just go to Uncle Mo at the corner of the street to eat, be careful that the stove is hot, don't get too close."

A group of children jumped up and down and went to Uncle Mo's barbecue stall.

Uncle Mo's barbecue is different from other places.

There is a stove in the middle, the meat is hanging on it, and the fat is forced down little by little, and it falls into the charcoal fire, and it sounds very special.

Uncle Mo's barbecue stall, business is not very good.

On a cold night, Yin Xiaoyue and several of their children sat together.

The children all have to eat barbecue, and Yin Xiaoyue asked Uncle Mo to take a little down. Uncle Mo picked out the hanging barbecue and chose a suitable piece of fat and thin.

Cut it piece by piece with a knife, and with each knife, you can hear the sound of bubbling oil.

Those who were roasted by charcoal fire were sprinkled with salt, chili noodles, and soybean flour on the iron net below by Uncle Mo, Yin Xiaoyue and her friends looked at the barbecue on the barbed wire, and kept swallowing their saliva.

Yin Xiaoyue raised her head and asked Uncle Mo:

"Are you ready to eat?"

Uncle Mo smiled: "Don't worry, I still have a secret weapon!" ”

As he spoke, he blinked mysteriously at Yin Xiaoyue, turned around and took out a stick that seemed to be burned into charcoal from under the platform next to him.

The stick was swarthy.

There are no lines to be seen at all.

So from the appearance, you can't see what kind of tree it is.

I saw Uncle Mo holding a black stick in one hand and a knife in the other, and scraped down at the dead branch. A black layer on the branches, scraped into powder.

The black powder all fell on the roast.

The moment I first touched the meat, a strange smell immediately came from the barbecue.

It was a very special taste, like cinnamon, but it felt a little more in it, Yin Xiaoyue had lived by the pot stove since she was a child, and she was very familiar with spices.

Still, she couldn't tell what it was.

After sprinkling the powder, Mo Dashu brought the meat to the children.

The meat is fragrant and the freshly grilled meat is hot.

The children were eating while breathing, and it was very lively to sit around.

The taste of that night, Yin Xiaoyue can't forget it now.

As for what the black branch was, she still didn't know......

At this moment, when the radish was wrapped in dipping sauce and eaten in her mouth, Yin Xiaoyue tasted this long-lost taste again.

Xiao Xiaomei in front of her didn't notice Yin Xiaoyue's abnormality.

Within a few minutes, there was a pile of leftover bones on the table in front of her.

To say that these fifty-eighty-one pots of pork ribs are really enough, Xiao Xiaomei put up with both hands, and started eating left and right. The soup ran down the corners of her mouth and dripped onto her elbows.

Xiao Xiaomei probably felt that it was a waste, so she quickly added it.

Seeing her embarrassed, but still only caring about eating, Yin Xiaoyue was happy.

She took out a tissue and handed it to Xiao Xiaomei:

"You take it easy, is there anyone to rob you."

As she spoke, someone called out to her, and when she turned around, she saw a man in his fifties.

The man was tall and dark-skinned.

The man wore a tunic with two large holes in the neckline.

On the back, on the cuffs on both sides, they are very dirty, and it seems that they have not been changed for a long time.

When this man stared at Yin Xiaoyue, his eyes flashed.

Yin Xiaoyue felt as if she didn't know this man, but strangely, he could actually call his name, so Yin Xiaoyue stared at him for a while and asked:

"Who are you?"

The man smiled and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard the boss standing on the other side of the stove shouting at him: "Old Mo, go in and cut some radishes again, what are you doing in a daze?!" ”

Lao Mo sighed.

Then he nodded at Yin Xiaoyue: "You wait for me first, and I'll come out immediately!" ”

Hearing the boss call him Lao Mo, Yin Xiaoyue was suddenly excited.

It seems that I really tasted it right.

The addition of the dipping sauce is definitely the same little bit of the barbecue that I ate at the barbecue stall.

It's just that her heart is a little sad.

After so many years, when I saw Lao Mo again, he actually fell into that way, why did he suddenly stop selling U-pot helmets in the first place, and where did he go.

No matter what the reason is, he must have had a very bad time over the years.

Seeing that Yin Xiaoyue had been looking ahead, Xiao Xiaomei also took a look.

She asked Yin Xiaoyue who the man was.

Yin Xiaoyue said: "This person was also a neighbor of Osmanthus Street before, and you didn't come when she left." ”

With that, she continued to eat with Xiao Xiaomei.

In the back kitchen, Lao Mo cut dozens of catties of radish, today's business is particularly good, Lao Mo is already very tired, he pointed to a pool of radish slices and asked the boss if it was enough, the boss looked at the guests outside, and said that it was like this for the time being.

Seeing that the boss was satisfied, the model worker put down the kitchen knife and was about to go out again.

Who knew that the boss stopped him:

"Lao Mo, your job is in the back kitchen, not the reception!"

Lao Mo listened, and his face was embarrassed: "Boss, I met an acquaintance today, I want to go out to say hello to her, I haven't seen her for more than ten years, so I'll say a few words......"

"Acquaintance ......"

The boss glanced at Yin Xiaoyue's side, and seemed to be a little disbelieving: "Those two girls are in their twenties, you are acquaintances with others, I see, you have been single for a long time, and you have fallen in love with others!" ”

The words of the owner, very unkind.

Lao Mo's face was red and white for a while.

After a pause, I only heard Lao Mo continue in a pleading tone: "Boss, this girl is really my former neighbor, I'll just say a few words, please......"

Seeing that Lao Mo's tears were about to come out, the boss snorted, and he put down the pot and spoon in his hand:

"Big men cry at every turn, it's really useless, go ahead!"
