Chapter 31: Conversation

In the next half month, Ye Jingshu would wait at the door of Mo's house every day after school.

Sometimes when I was lucky enough to meet Grandma Mo, Ye Jingshu could still step forward and say two sentences; But if you run into Uncle Mo, you can only be ignored as air.

During this time, except for the first time when the two of them came to the door and were invited in for a cup of tea, the other dozen or so times they didn't even have to enter the door.

The summer vacation is coming soon, and there is still no way to rent a stall, so Ye Jingshu can only be anxious.

Seeing that the method of stubborn defense does not work, forcibly knock on the door to enter, and people don't pay attention to it at all, it seems that a more efficient strategy has to be changed. After some consideration, Ye Jingshu had a flash of inspiration, and a look of ambition flashed in her eyes.

Mo family.

Uncle Mo cut the leeks, put down the knife in his hand, looked at Grandma Mo who was guarding the door, and asked casually:

"That little girl didn't come today, did she?"

Looking at the naughty appearance of her old man, the old lady felt very happy: after living together for fifty years, how could she not see that her wife was obviously interested in that girl.

So Grandma Mo decided to tease this annoying little old man. Make a relieved expression on your face:

"yes, not really. lest I go to the door every evening, and keep watch at the door. Oops, my waist can't bear it, it hurts to death! ”

After that, Grandma Mo made a gesture and hammered two handfuls on her waist.

"I'm really not coming......"

Uncle Mo's tone sank suddenly, and the light in his eyes was extinguished.

Seeing the disappointed look of the old wife, Grandma Mo pretended to be surprised and said:

"Hey, Lao Mo, what's the matter, you can't bear it?"

I saw that Uncle Mo immediately exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on:

"Humph! Who said I couldn't bear it! She and I are not related, I know who she is! ”

After a long time, Uncle Mo let out a long sigh:

"Alas! Young people nowadays, why are they so impatient when they want to learn things! ”

Grandma Mo listened to her husband's words and was overjoyed: Heh! It seems that the old man is planning to pass on his skills to the little girl! However, he still did not forget to correct:

"Old man, I remember, the girl didn't say that she wanted to learn the craft from you, and last time they wanted to come and rent our stall."

When Uncle Mo heard this, he was anxious:

"Humph! I don't care, anyway, if you want to rent a stall with an old man, you have to learn a trade. But looking at her attitude, I won't teach it, and I won't teach it even if I kill her! ”

After Old Man Mo finished speaking, he stood up from the field, walked to the side of the recliner, sat down, picked up the teacup, and drank the already cold jasmine tea in one gulp.

I saw Grandma Mo walk up to the old man, pinch her husband's already stiff shoulder, and sighed with emotion:

"Lao Mo, we have lived together for so many years, can you change your duplicitous stubborn temper?"

"In the blink of an eye, we are both about to enter the coffin. Ah Hong has not been heard from in the past three years, and he has searched everywhere......"

Thinking of the rebellious grandson who left home and has not returned, Grandma Mo's eyes turned red.

"Alas, old woman, why are you uncomfortable when you say two words? Don't mention that. What is the person who is about to enter the coffin? I've been with you, old man, and we'll live for a long, long time......"

Before he finished speaking, Mo Lao grabbed his wife with one hand, and stroked Grandma Mo's back with the other hand.

After a while, Grandma Mo's excited emotions calmed down and continued to speak:

"Old Mo, don't coax me, how old are we, we all know it in our hearts."

"In the past few decades, we have survived the ups and downs. I watched you ponder this pig's trotter since you were young, and finally made it, we can't keep this craft, we have to pass it on, or how can we be worthy of your efforts? ”

"Actually, Lao Mo, I think the little girl who came to our house is very good......"

"What's good, I've only given up on ...... in a few days"

The old lady, who was going to continue persuading, was suddenly interrupted by the old man, and a knife flew over.

"Who said I gave up?"

Looking at Ye Jingshu and Yu Weiwei, who didn't know when they were standing at the door, Old Man Mo was surprised:

"You...... When did you come in? Who allowed you to enter! ”

Facing Old Man Mo's stern reprimand, Ye Jingshu smiled slightly:

"Hello Grandpa Mo, I've been in for a while. You forgot to close the door just now......"

Looking at the old man's blushing face and his warning eyes, the old lady warmly beckoned the two to sit down, turned around and went into the kitchen.

Ye Jingshu, who sat down, exchanged glances with Yu Weiwei: Yay! Effective!

Looking at the silent Old Man Mo, Ye Jingshu broke the embarrassment and said generously:

"Grandpa Mo, I know that I have come to disturb you several times without your permission before, which is really presumptuous. I'm here to apologize to you. ”

After a pause, he said, "Grandpa Mo, I know that to you, I am just a fledgling little girl, and you don't know me well enough."

"Pick up the key points, don't ramble here!"

Old Man Mo interrupted Ye Jingshu's words with an impatient expression.

Seeing that the other party no longer drove her away, Ye Jingshu knew that she wanted to hear her intentions well. So I got straight to the point and got straight to the point:

"Grandpa Mo, actually, when I came here for the first time, I really just heard Weiwei say that you have a stall at home, and I want to rent it to do some small business during the holidays."

"But later I learned that you were the founder of the famous 'Mo Ji Pig's Trotters'. When I learned that you wanted to find a successor, I was not afraid of your jokes, I was tempted. ”

Hearing this, Uncle Mo felt a sigh in his heart: Heh! Little girl, you still have vision!

"Actually, I won't tell you, in the recent past few days, I have been guarding your door every day after school, thinking of meeting you again and having a good talk, but I can't meet again."

What another whole bunch of boring opening lines! Are young people nowadays so procrastinating? Uncle Mo rubbed his eyebrows.

Grandma Mo, who was holding a plate of "donkey rolling", saw the appearance of her wife, and immediately knew that her husband was impatient.

"Come on, come on, have a snack. Little girl, if you have something to say, you should be at your own house, and you are polite. ”

Ye Jingshu and Yu Weiwei picked up the snacks and thanked each other.

"So you're here to learn from me?"

After hearing Old Man Mo's question, Ye Jingshu swallowed the snack, took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly:

"Grandpa Mo, you're right, I came here this time to 'recommend myself'."

"Oh? Then tell me, why do you think that I will definitely agree to teach you, old man? ”

I saw Ye Jingshu's eyes light up, and she spoke confidently:

"To tell you the truth, I also knew a little bit about the method of braised pork before, and I also helped in the store."

"I've had the pleasure of tasting your craft before, and I'm impressed. But ......"

Ye Jingshu deliberately paused for two seconds:

"Have you ever thought about making some innovative improvements to your braised pig's trotters?"

Looking at Old Man Mo's gradually straightened back, Ye Jingshu snickered in her heart: Sure enough, the old man is interested.

So, I elaborated on my considerations. Because of the experience of rebirth, Ye Jingshu is of course very familiar with the popular "roast pig's trotters", and she talks about it easily.

However, for the rest of us, this is the first time that we have heard of using both marinated and grilled cooking techniques on pig's trotters.

The more the three of them listened, the more flavorful they became, especially Old Man Mo, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and in the end, he couldn't even drink the tea:

"Little Yezi, old man, I have lived for so long, and I never thought of marinating the pig's trotters and then taking them to the grill for secondary processing! Tell me, how did you come up with such a fresh idea? ”

Looking at Old Man Mo's appearance, Ye Jingshu silently stuck out her tongue in her heart and prayed secretly: Alas! The great god who invented roast pig's trotters in later generations, don't be angry......

But the face is still breezy and calm:

"Grandpa Mo, actually, I rented your stall just to sell barbecue. I think everything can be used for barbecue. ”

"You think, although the pig's trotters are marinated, they are delicious, soft and delicious. But no matter how good things are, after a long time, they will inevitably get tired of eating. ”

"If we take the marinated pig's trotters to roast, it can increase the crispy texture of the pig's trotters, which is a new taste experience for guests!"

"Sprinkle some seasoning on top of the roasted pig's trotters, and it will definitely have a different flavor."

After listening to Ye Jingshu's thoughts, Old Man Mo spoke:

"The idea you said sounds okay, but I don't know if you've actually done it?"

After Ye Jingshu heard Old Man Mo's words, she was secretly happy in her heart: It seems that Grandpa Mo is not exclusive to roasting pig's trotters! So he spoke confidently:

"Grandpa Mo, if you are free, I will bring you some roasted products that I tried to make myself in the past two days."

"Don't do it for the past two days. There's a grill at home, I'll find it for you and clean it up, you can come over tomorrow and do it here. ”

Sullen Grandpa Mo: Yay! Look at how decisive I am!

Ye Jingshu, who received an affirmative reply, immediately agreed happily.

As soon as Ye Jingshu, who returned home, entered the door, she saw her parents sitting at the dining table waiting for her, and the food on the table did not move.

Seeing that their daughter finally came back, the husband and wife also breathed a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease:

"Jingshu, you're finally back. What is the situation today? ”

Seeing that the wall clock on the wall had pointed to half past nine, Ye Jingshu felt very sorry in her heart:

"Dad, Mom, it's so late, you don't have to wait for me, eat first, it's not good for your stomach to drag it like this!"

Hearing their daughter's care for them, the husband and wife were very pleased, but they were not without worry:

"Jingshu, although you are older now, after all, you are a girl's family, you must pay attention to safety when you go out, watch the time, there are so many bad people outside now, it is very unsafe."

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'm not back in good time!"

Ye Jingshu took off her coat and put it on the back of the sofa, and then turned around and went into the kitchen to wash her hands, and the family slowly chatted about today's situation.

When they learned that Ye Jingshu had made an appointment to go to the Mo family the next day to continue the discussion, Ye's father and Ye's mother were also very happy: their daughter, who was still a small group when she was born, can now be on her own.

Thinking of this, the husband and wife felt a great sense of satisfaction in their hearts.
