Chapter 7: Braised Meat Restaurant
I chose a good family for my sister.
The male owner of that house is my father's attending doctor, Xiaohu.
On his way to the hospital, I discovered some of his personal privacy.
Of course, that's all I guessed.
I don't want to know exactly what the situation is.
In the hospital, the nurse told me that my dad would suddenly come out of his mouth in the middle of the night several times, and he couldn't hear the specific content clearly, but the word "Xia Hong" could still be distinguished.
I thought about it for a moment and asked the nurse to record what my dad said next time he said something.
I left the hospital feeling a little hungry.
Turning into an alley, I smelled a strong smell of halogen.
At that moment, following the taste, I saw that there was a snack bar in front of me.
An aunt stood at the door of this snack bar, in a big pot, taking out the marinated meat and vegetables from it. The rich aroma of the marinade came out of that cauldron, and the steaming scene made me even hungrier.
The business model of this braised meat shop is relatively diversified.
Guests can either buy braised pork to take away or eat at the store.
Braised pork noodles or braised pork with rice, there are many items, you can choose.
And the address of this snack bar, I am familiar with it.
This is exactly the one that was my neighbor's grandmother before, my pickled pepper and phoenix claw shop, this female wife who fished lo-mei from the pot, I also recognize her, she is my other neighbor - Zhang Ying.
Wang Daqiang told me that Zhang Ying's child was gone.
But when I went to Grandma Hu's house, I met Zhang Ying. At that time, her whole state was very bad, and now looking at her, although she is wearing a sanitary mask, her eyes are much better than before.
Why Grandma Hu's shop became Zhang Ying's, I don't know very well.
I'm very hungry and need something to eat, and this lo-mei is very authentic, and my hala is about to flow out.
Glancing at the menu on the wall, I asked for a lo-mei platter of rice, double platter pork head and pork in the water.
Business in the store is okay, and there are four tables in a small place. The soup and side dishes were free, so I scooped some for myself and sat back at my seat, and the meal was served.
The woman pulled down her mask, looked at me and said, "Are you Tang Xiaofan?" ”
I was surprised to see that she knew my name.
Zhang Ying only moved here after we moved, and we didn't have any intersection during this time.
I had a relationship with her when I passed by her window that time, and she looked up at me. Zhang Ying's gaze at that time was very scary, and I was terrified when I saw it.
It should have been Wang Daqiang who told him about me, otherwise, how would she recognize who I am.
I nodded and said it was me.
As soon as she heard this, she sat down across from me.
"I don't need money for this meal, I'll treat you to eat!"
When I heard this, I was a little embarrassed.
Have a good meal, I give money to eat with peace of mind. Now suddenly there is a woman sitting opposite me who is not very familiar, and she stares at me every bite, and her gaze still makes me hairy.
In this scene, even if I am asked to eat dragon meat, I am not at ease.
A mouthful of marinated fat intestines, the rich marinade filled my mouth, and in the woman's straight eyes, this fragrant taste did not make me feel happy.
I had a hard time eating, but she still looked at me very seriously.
She stared at me and smiled: "Tang Xiaofan, eat quickly, it's not enough, then there are many more." ”
This laugh was made on purpose.
It's even more fake than "the skin laughs and the flesh doesn't smile", and I'm very uncomfortable.
I glanced back at the braised meat stall, and several customers were picking braised meat, so I said to Zhang Ying: "You go and get busy, they are all acquaintances, I won't delay your business......
I'm going to leave as soon as I'm done, and I don't want any free meals.
There is a WeChat scan on the wall, I just glanced at it, this meal, Shuangpin lo-mei sixteen yuan, I ate and scanned the code and left, everyone is doing business, it is not easy.
Who knows, Zhang Ying listened to my words, but waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter, they're all old guests, and they will say that they won't owe me money or anything."
As she spoke, she took out a tissue and wiped her sweaty head: "Tang Xiaofan, you eat, I have something to look for you after eating, I was supposed to look for you in person, but now that you are here, I don't have to go for another trip." ”
When I heard this, I was stunned.
Zhang Ying wants to find me, I don't know her well, what is she looking for me for.
Just as she was about to ask, the two girls on the table behind her had to pay for dinner, Zhang Ying pointed to the QR code on the wall and asked her to pay directly, and the girl wanted to pay in cash.
"What kind of cash! The QR code is clearly there! I don't have that much change! ”
Zhang Ying's temper was very bad, and the girl just stuck out her tongue at the person next to her when she heard it. After paying the money, Zhang Ying looked at their departing backs and said fiercely:
"There's something wrong, you can scan the code, what kind of money to give!"
Her reflection was really a bit excessive.
In fact, I would rather choose to scan the code to pay and pay in cash, but this is not the only payment method, every day it opens, I will prepare some change, in order to provide it to these customers who use cash.
After all, not everyone is used to scanning the code to pay, and those uncles and aunts can't force others to learn.
But this Zhang Ying, in the face of this commonplace scene, reacted so fiercely.
After saying this, Zhang Ying looked at me straight again: "Tang Xiaofan, did you say it!?" ”
In the face of her questioning, I didn't say anything, quickly lowered my head, and ate the rice in a big gulp.
In my head, I was thinking about this question.
This Zhang Ying is very likely to have a big problem with her brain. lost his only daughter, for many women, that is the spiritual pillar, and it is understandable that she is suddenly gone, and her brain is abnormal.
But why is she guarding me?
I'm not her daughter, and besides, her daughter's accident has nothing to do with me.
It's kind of hilarious.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong.
Occasionally I raised my eyes to look at Zhang Ying, and found that she was still staring at me, as if everything around me did not exist. It was hot in the store and I started sweating on my forehead and was very nervous.
When I finally finished my last bite of hair, I stood up all at once.
I took out my mobile phone to scan the code, and wanted to leave, Zhang Ying grabbed my book at once: "Tang Xiaofan, don't worry, I said that if I don't charge you money, I can't go back on my word, you sit down and talk to me, I have a lot to say to you......"
She chattered and I was even more upset.
The guest at the opposite table wanted to pay the bill, and called her, but she yelled at the man: "The menu is all on the wall, I can't count it!" ”
