Volume 1 The Beginning of Everything Chapter 19 The Market
Liao Yu followed the sound and looked, it turned out that the shopkeeper came over with two catties of beef with special sauce and two plump and solid red sausages, and heard his sigh.
"Big brother smiled, a little annoyed." Liao Yu said with a smiling face.
The shopkeeper's eldest brother didn't ask much, smiled and put the dishes on the table.
Liao Yu waited for a long time, and at this moment, he picked up the bowl and began to sweep.
Halfway through eating, he still felt that he was not very happy, and he glanced left and right, and saw the elbow stewed in the pot in the kitchen, so he greeted him a few times.
"What's the matter?" Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's eldest brother ran over again.
"Oh, I'm just asking you about your elbows......" Liao Yu still asked politely first, in case it is someone else's shopkeeper's own dish to eat, he is not good at forcing it.
"That, that's our specialty here, you can eat it, but you have to add ingredients behind this elbow, or you can't eat it, now, I added a little salt, I'm afraid it's not to your liking."
"It's okay, it's okay, give me a copy." At this time, Liao Yu was extremely hungry, and he could manage a lot. What's more, Liao Yu himself is also a master of cooking, and he can see at a glance that the marinade and heat of this elbow have arrived, and at this time, it is another light taste, so he will naturally not let it go.
"Okay." The shopkeeper is also a cheerful person, and he neatly fished out an elbow and served it to Liao Yu in two or three clicks.
Liao Yu poked the chopsticks familiarly, easily penetrated the entire elbow, and then flicked the chopsticks to the sides, and the muscles and bones on the elbow were smoothly separated and slid into the bowl.
Liao Yu couldn't wait to pick up a piece and taste it, the taste was just right, the seasoning during pickling penetrated well into all corners of the elbow, and the soup full of flavor was fully absorbed by the soft and glutinous elbow, and after a bite, it was an endless aftertaste. Liao Yu was very satisfied with this elbow, and with the rest of the sauced beef, it was another bowl of rice.
While biting into the red sausage, he felt the tight pork slowly being chewed in his mouth, accompanied by the fat bursting in his mouth, and at the same time took a bite of the stewed rake pork knuckle, and his heart was filled with irreplaceable satisfaction for a while.
"Hey, if you come to dip water from your hometown again, it will be perfect." Liao Yu couldn't help but have this thought in his heart when he finished it, and finally drank the homemade rice wine in the cup, and Liao Yu, who was full of wine and food, finally patted his stomach with satisfaction.
"Little brother, how." Liao Yu turned his head to look, and it turned out that the shopkeeper's eldest brother came over with a stool. At this time, it was not yet the peak time for dinner, and this small shop was only a customer of Liao Yu.
"Yes, it's quite distinctive, but big brother, I think it's all manpower in your store, and you have to play with your wife in person." Liao Yu said and gestured with his eyes.
The shopkeeper reached out and lifted the wine jug on the side, and handed over another glass of rice wine.
"Hey, it's not that I don't plan to become bigger and stronger, so I just rely on this to find something to do for myself, and make a little money by the way. There are smart machines to help with it, in fact, they are not very tired, I invited the children of two relatives, and they came over before the peak of the meal, and they happened to have a holiday in the past two days. ”
Liao Yu stretched out his finger and pointed to the kitchen, and teased: "Now most ordinary restaurants use smart kitchen appliances to cook, and you can mix it yourself in advance, and only star chefs do it themselves." ”
The shopkeeper laughed.
"What the little brother said, what kind of chef am I, my shop, a small profit, and if you get some smart kitchen appliances, you really can't make two dollars. And we're not saying that we look down on these machines, the taste, it's decent, but we always feel that it's still a little bit bad. ”
"Also, what I make is different after all, and I often cook and make some new dishes." I agreed with this, picked up the wine glass and touched it with the shopkeeper's eldest brother.
Liao Yu himself likes to study cooking, and food is one of his great hobbies, and after a few words, the two became familiar with each other.
"We don't have any big ideals in this life, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing to receive welfare. Thinking that he still has some cooking skills, he came out to pass the time and save some money for the child by the way. The shopkeeper's eldest brother mentioned his own child, and his eyes lit up a little. That kid called the other day and said that maybe there would be a chance to raise the permission value after a while, and I was happy for him for a while. ”
Hearing the permission value, Liao Yu raised his glass and paused, and then drank it all casually.
"By the way, he also said that he had a girlfriend and had been talking about it for several years, really." The uncle talked about this complaint, but the smile on his face couldn't be covered.
"Isn't this good, these days, everyone eats meat and clothes, and they don't want to work, let alone fall in love." Liao Yu played with the delicate wine glass in his hand, and should be with the uncle.
"Yes, but this kid also said later, the girl may be pregnant, damn, how can it be said in these years, if you are pregnant, you are pregnant, if you are not pregnant, you are not pregnant, how many men hesitate."
The uncle looked like he hated that iron could not become steel, and he lifted the wine jug and filled himself with a glass. Although he is a little bit, when it comes to business, his words are still full of pride in treating his son as a real man. It's just that he has probably never admitted this in front of his son, which may be a rare tacit understanding between men in the world.
"That was a real surprise. That...... Big brother, are you very angry, what are your plans? This was someone else's family matter, but Liao Yu saw that he was still in love today, so he hesitated for a moment and said more.
"Gas? Why be angry, though, that's a bit unprepared. But as the old saying goes, our family is also a queen, so we can't say that we don't care about it. The uncle slammed his mouth twice, and his eyes were full of happiness.
"You're not angry that he didn't tell you, such a big thing, just come as soon as you say it, there is no preparation in advance, I will definitely not be able to stand it." Liao Yu shook his head with a smile.
The uncle disagreed: "What the little brother said is not quite right, life, there are always such and such accidents, we are not immortals, how can we expect things to be like gods, can you prepare everything properly in your life?" ”
Liao Yu remembered all the recent encounters, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what he could say here and now, and finally just sighed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"Isn't this it, there will always be accidents, but life still has to go on, and everything is ready to live. I'm a few years older than you, so I'll just say a few more words. We are ordinary people, and we ordinary people have ordinary people's ways. Life is not like cooking, we will put the ingredients in the pot when they are ready. Life is more like throwing you into the wild, you can only watch what you do, and all you can do is to use what you have in your hands to make a good pot of food as much as possible, so that you can live a better life. ”
"Hmm."
Although Liao Yu couldn't fully accept his uncle's statement at the moment, the successive circumstances of the year made him feel depressed for a while, and he didn't want to argue with the uncle when he met and talked happily in Pingshui, so he raised his glass and touched a glass with the uncle in silence.
At the checkout, the shopkeeper saw that he was speculative with Liao Yu, so he simply said hello to his wife and exempted him from 20 yuan. Liao Yu hurriedly thanked the couple and walked out of the hotel.
"It's time to go back and dig into those spells."
Looking at the air passage that flew under his feet and the safety net spread out like a spider web between the passages, even though Liao Yu had lived in the city since he was a child, every time he saw these light white giant webs, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
These safety nets, known as "tree nets", are a new product of humanity's move towards the air. With the development of science and technology, the air has eventually become the daily territory of human beings. However, the air is no better than the ground, and without the support of the earth for thousands of years of human civilization, human beings must begin to learn to make strong wings for their flight.
As a result, countless passages and bridges have been erected between the high-rise buildings, which not only play a role in passing, but also play a fixed role. In the event of an emergency, the interfaces of these bridges will automatically separate according to the situation, and the intelligent policing system will take over the area in time to minimize casualties. As early as the beginning of the design, several records were made for this, in case of an extreme situation where a building collapsed, pulling the entire city of buildings to fall like dominoes.
With the continuous development of human science and technology, there have also been many breakthroughs in materials science. The mesh structure is developed with reference to the nervous system and stress of living organisms, and has a slight stickiness, which can actively shrink and wrap the object when it falls, and will not cause damage to human skin and other media. The good elastic design can well cushion the kinetic energy of the falling object, and at the same time will not rebound too much and injure the person who falls.
Layers of passages and tree networks form the flesh and blood of the city, but at the same time, they also subtly divide the city into two classes. With the advantages of the upper class such as favorable environment and convenient transportation, as well as the upward shift of the political center, the resources of human society have inevitably been tilted towards the upper area.
Since the beginning of human civilization, disparities and strata have never disappeared, which is the inevitable result of a combination of factors. Now, however, it is perhaps the first time in human history that the definition of upper and lower classes has been inadvertently embodied in a physical way.
"I'm going to have to pay off my mortgage in two days."
Liao Yu looked at the deposit information in his mobile phone, and his brows were tightly twisted.
The first house under the name of a citizen can bring a one-time permission increase to individuals, and Liao Yu took a fancy to this at the beginning, so he gritted his teeth and bought the house on the upper floor, and enjoyed the benefits of medical care, education and other aspects brought by the permission improvement as soon as possible, so as to buy medicine for his parents. As for the environment, transportation and other collateral, Liao Yu actually doesn't pay much attention to it.
It's just that I didn't expect that in less than two years, my physical and economic situation have taken a sharp turn for the worse.
"I hope Hantang is enough to talk about credibility......"
