Chapter 121: Live Well
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The young woman glared at me with a look of disdain on her face.
I glanced at her and sneered, "What? You ruined my door beyond recognition, and let you pick up and curse you, then be fair, and I will also make some garbage for your house. ”
I walked to the living room, unbuckled my pants, aligned myself with the couch, and prepared to pee.
The young woman covered her eyes and screamed.
"Stinky rascal, no quality, I want to call the police."
Seeing this, the flower pants came over menacingly, grabbed my collar, looked at me with wide eyes and said, "Don't get out of here yet, dare to go wild here." ”
"It's you who spread the wild first, if you don't clean up my door today, I'll pee on your sofa, if you don't believe it, let's try."
I shrugged my shoulders and looked at him ruffianly.
The flower pants frowned, loosened my collar, glanced back at the young woman, sighed, and whispered, "Okay, I'll take the garbage away." ”
"Husband, why do you want to take it away?"
"Okay, don't ask, you pile up garbage at people's doorsteps, which is not right in itself, and makes you usually lazy."
He put on a pair of gloves and walked out of the room with a large woven bag, and shook his head helplessly when he saw the mountains of garbage.
After the two of them cleaned up the garbage, Hua Pants smiled and said, "You are a new move-in, my surname is Zhang, you can call me Lao Zhang, we will be neighbors in the future."
He became more and more polite and calm, which made me a little embarrassed, I scratched my head and said, "My name is Wang Tao, and I will move here after a while." ”
I left the car keys in the room, when I walked out of the community, I was already hungry a little shaking, simply this community is not far from the vegetable market, I bought a pound of garlic sprouts, a pound of eggs, two pounds of peppers, and bought two pounds of pork ribs, a pound of blood sausage, back to the basement, it was more than five o'clock in the afternoon.
I took out my phone, found the number of the scumbag, and dialed it.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Brother Scum's loud voice came, and every time I called him, I had to turn down the volume of the earpiece by half a bar.
"Brother scum, you don't have to buy vegetables when you come back from the stall, remember to bring two bottles of wine back, the one I drank last time tasted good."
I put the garlic sprouts on the edge of the sink and rinsed them with water.
"Okay, I know, business is so good today, I'll talk to you when I go back."
"Also, you helped me buy a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao spray, and my arm twisted."
"What the hell?"
"It's okay, don't forget to buy it."
"Well, I'll not tell you yet."
Brother Scumbag hung up the phone in a hurry.
I thought to myself, business is good? It seems that I have to make money tomorrow, and I haven't been out of the stall for a while, and if I continue to mix like this, I'm afraid I'll even eat up my old book.
I suddenly thought that Qin Xiaolan would come tomorrow, and I thought of Xiao Qing's wedding a few days later, so I let out a long sigh, put the washed garlic seedlings on the board, and cut them into sections with a kitchen knife.
Heat the oil, beat two eggs into it, stir-fry for a few minutes, pour the garlic sprouts into the pot, add seasonings, and after a while, the courtyard is full of fragrant vegetables, and I smell my saliva.
Soon, a dish of scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts came out of the pan, and I took out a plate, put the dish on the plate, and put it on the table.
Brush the pot clean, I plan to make a sweet and sour pork ribs, boil water in the pot, pour the ribs into the pot, cook a cigarette, take it out and put it in the basin, add cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, stir well, heat oil in the pot, pour the ribs into the pot, and fry until golden brown.
This step should be flipped a few times with a spatula, otherwise the ribs will be mushy, which will not only affect the appearance, but also taste bad.
Pour a small amount of water into the pot, you can add sugar at this time, the scumbag brother loves sweets, I added four spoons of sugar, and added half a spoonful of salt into it, simmered on low heat for about ten minutes, and added a spoonful of balsamic vinegar, at this time the sweet taste came out.
When it was almost out of the pan, sprinkle some chopped green onions and MSG on top, so that a sweet and sour pork rib is ready.
Put it on the plate, I brushed the pot again, cut half a plate of meat on the board, cut the pepper into pieces, boiled the oil, poured half a plate of lean meat into the pot, and with a snort, the aroma of meat rushed to my face, and I drooled with hunger.
Brother scumbag walked into the yard with a cigarette in his mouth, he carried two bottles of wine in his hand, walked to me, looked at the lean meat stir-fried in the pot, took a puff of cigarette and said, "Light a small fire, don't fry the pot." ”
After saying that, he walked to the sink and washed his hands.
I poured the peppers into the pot and stir-fried them quickly, and a pungent spicy smell reached my nostrils, choking me twice and tears flowed from my eyes.
Add seasoning, cut half a bowl of chopped green onion and pour it in, add some water, simmer on low heat for about five minutes, a fried pork with folded pepper is out of the pot, I put it on a plate and put it on the table.
"It's time to eat."
I took the bowl and walked over to the rice cooker, filled a large bowl of rice, and before I even had time to wash it, I devoured it.
Brother Scumbag came over with two cups, looked at me and said, "Don't drink anymore?" ”
"Drink, I'm so hungry, pad my stomach first."
Brother Slag sat down, handed me the Yunnan Baiyao spray, opened the cap of the liquor bottle, and poured it into two halves of the cup, he sighed and said lightly: "Will you be out of the stall tomorrow?" ”
"Can't get out, Qin Xiaolan will come tomorrow."
I took a big bite of rice, and before I could chew it, I swallowed it in my stomach, sandwiched a piece of pork ribs, and ate it with relish.
"Qin Xiaolan? Is that the girl who was here last time? The one who called me Lu Zhishen? ”
Brother Scumbag took a bite of garlic sprouts and chewed them gently.
"This garlic sprout is too old, not too fresh."
Brother Scumbag commented on my craftsmanship, I nodded and said, "Yes, it's the girl who came here last time, this garlic sprout is the last point, I will buy it back, you can taste this rib and see how it tastes?" ”
I sandwiched a pork rib and put it in a scumbag bowl.
"Well, it's delicious, this one is made at a level."
Brother Scumbag nibbled on the ribs, nodded frequently, and was full of praise.
A bowl of rice into my stomach, the strong hunger disappeared, I hiccuped, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Brother Scum, and asked Brother Scumbag curiously: "Brother Scum, what do you mean by saying that business is good today?" How much do you earn? ”
I took a gentle sip of the liquor, the alcohol dripping into my stomach and making me frown, the wine was bitter and choking every time I drank it, and I didn't feel anything in the second glass.
"Today, I earned more than 1,000 yuan a day, and almost all the goods taken out of the warehouse in the morning were sold out, leaving only a few outdated short sleeves."
Brother Scumbag smacked, his face full of excitement.
"Why is business so good today?"
I was puzzled, so I took a bite of the garlic sprouts and threw them into my mouth and chewed them, which were not too old, very chewy, and tasted good.
"It is estimated that it rained a few days ago, and the customers did not go out, but now the weather is clear, and a large number of customers have come, which really fulfills us."
"Oh, I want to go out of the stall tomorrow, but there are too many things to do, and I have to go back to my hometown in a few days to attend a friend's wedding."
I sighed helplessly, picked up my glass and took a big sip.
"Back home? You have enough friends, and the last time I went back was for a wedding. ”
Brother Scumbag nibbled on ribs, he seemed to be in love with this dish.
"Well, I'm just these two best friends, and they're happy to get married, can I not go back."
I lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.
"By the way, the old witch was sent on the plane? It's time to be in the United States, right? ”
"No, I'll tell you when I get there."
"It's dark for us, so they should be daytime, right?"
Brother scumbag muttered, he has never understood the relationship between jet lag, his understanding is that the earth does not rotate, so the whole world is zero time difference, once I told him about the polar day and the polar night, after he listened, his head shook like a rattle, muttering: "Impossible, impossible." ”
"It should be twelve hours of time difference, exactly one day and one night."
I also sandwiched a piece of pork ribs and gnawed it slowly, and every time I ate a meal I cooked, I felt a full sense of accomplishment regardless of whether it was good or bad.
"Oh, how many days will you go back to your hometown this time?"
"I'm not sure yet, it shouldn't be too long."
Brother Scumbag and I clinked glasses, drank the remaining sip of wine, took the bottle again, and poured a second glass of liquor.
"When are you going to move in?"
Brother Scumbag got up, picked up a coat at the corner of the table, and draped it over his shoulders, after the weather turned cold, he also took care of his body.
"Wait a minute, do I still have half a year's rent?"
"Well, the landlord is out of town, don't think about quitting the rent, the landlord who lacks virtue won't pay a dime."
Brother Scum took a sip of wine, sighed, took out a cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and said, "Tell me in advance when you move." ”
"Well, I know, I guess I won't move this year, the lady is sick in bed now, Xinyan is not in the country, and I moved to such a big house alone, which is very inappropriate."
I flicked the ashes of my cigarette, my eyes darkened, and a cool breeze blew on my back, reminding me that the beautiful summer was far away.
"It's really evil, I believe whoever is sick, but she suddenly fell ill, and there was really some surprise, usually high-spirited, a big boss who can't be a lifetime, rich and generous, vigorous and resolute, this body alone is not angry, so, don't have a life to earn money and no life to spend, when you should enjoy it, you still have to have fun in time, life is not a thing that is saved by saving, it is worth it every day, and you feel that you have earned it every day, so you don't live in vain."
Brother Scumbag sighed again, snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, took a big sip of the wine glass, his tired cheeks were full of vicissitudes, and the eye-catching wrinkles were engraved on his face, telling everyone that he was no longer young.
"Alas, the illness is like a mountain, a sudden heart attack, it's not a joke, although she has money, she can buy a large cart of nutritional products, health products, but can't buy back a healthy body, so, don't waste the body, be kind to yourself."
I sighed, the corners of my eyes moist, I pulled out a tissue, woke up my nose, clinked glasses with the scumbag, and drank the second glass.
"I've heard a story before."
Brother Scumbag muttered.
That is to say, when you are seventy or eighty years old, lying in the hospital bed, recalling the past when you were young, what you did right, and what regrets you missed, why don't you live happily, why don't you live vigorously and optimistically, everyone's way of living is different, in the end, complaining, regretting the beginning, life did not start over, everything you experience every day will become a memory in the future, don't wait until you are about to die, in regret for life, why not live like that, why? We all still have time, and hopefully in the years to come, even at the age of eighty, there will be no regrets, no regrets. ”
Brother Scumbag said the love sincerely, every proverb, I burst into tears and grief.
The horror of growing up is that you may become the type of person you used to look down on the most.
From tomorrow onwards, I will live well and guard every touch in my heart, because those who have always loved me deserve to be loved.
