This guy talks about other people's affairs, but no matter whose family's affairs, he knows a little, and he doesn't know what he's thinking.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, I didn't ramble anymore, and honestly went to the cutting board to mix and knead the noodles.

After staying by the practical side for a few days, although the meat filling I made out is still not very good, the kneading technique is getting stronger day by day, and now even the practical one says that the noodles kneaded by my hands are stronger than those masters with decades of experience.

I have to say that I was tossed and turned over and over again by kneading dough and chopping meat every day, and my heart really calmed down.

Since then, I've learned to focus all my energy on what I'm doing, whether it's good or not...... Of course, taste is also important, but the most important thing is always the cooking process.

It was also during that time that pragmatism taught me how to focus on the present and how to look down on utilitarianism.

Over the next two years, he taught me how to think and made me understand that in many cases, the way of thinking is more important than innate intelligence.

Even now, I think that in ancient times, he might have become a saint, and in modern times, he would have been a scholar or a thinker.

But the reality is that Practical is just a small boss who runs around for a living every day, worrying about firewood, rice, oil and salt all day long, but he is also happy.

He has ideals, but he is willing to be ordinary, and he can always see through everything, but he can't see through himself.

I can't see through him, and I can't see through him until now.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow, every day of the old Shijia store seems to be running according to a fixed trajectory, more than six o'clock in the morning, the guys walked into the store one by one, began to cook the ingredients for the whole day, almost seven o'clock, the first wave of guests entered the courtyard, silently waiting for the first fire to be served to the table, at noon, the kitchen wafted with the strong aroma of small stir-frying, after night, the fatty fish slowly boiled in the iron pot, and the cold beer was shrouded in overflowing steam. At nine o'clock in the evening, there was only a piece of scraps left in the yard, and the guys packed up the dishes and chopsticks and left.

Every day, every night, and so on.

I once asked practical, what is the meaning of life if you just live according to the rules all the time?

Practically speaking, life is originally a step-by-step process, and learning how to be plain is the greatest meaning of a person's life.

Gradually, I also got used to such days, the biggest expectation every day is that there is a little more money in the cash box than yesterday, and the biggest practical sustenance seems to be the money box, as soon as it closes, he will silently open the box and calculate whether the money earned during this period is enough to support his son's tuition.

The days have indeed become lighter, but in my heart, there is a kind of fullness that I have never tasted.

I heard that some time ago, Uncle Wan took in Mr. Chi. I've always wanted to go to the roast duck restaurant, but I haven't been allowed to go, saying that the time has not come.

Autumn is already halfway through, and winter is not too far away.

I remember that around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the second master asked someone to bring me a message, saying that Zuo Youdao sent a person from Sichuan to take a look.

I heard that this person is the fourth-generation grandson of the old Huang family in the Northeast, named Huang Yuzhong, when he was in the ghost market this year, he caused trouble in Jisoul Village, and was cleaned up by Zuo Youdao, and then sent to Bohai Labor Reform.

I got into trouble in Jisoul Village, why did I send it to my family's house to labor reform, I couldn't figure out how to do it, so I asked for advice from Practical.

Practically speaking, the Huang family in the Northeast is the same as the Bohai family, they are all big families in the industry, and now Zuo Youdao is already the supervisor of the two major families, and he specially sent Huang Yuzhong here, which should have deep meaning.

I asked Practical what Zuo Youdao was doing, but Practical shook his head, saying that he couldn't say for sure now, and he would only know until he met Huang Yuzhong.

On the second day after the second master asked me to speak, there was an abnormality in the compound of the grain bureau.

That morning, as soon as I came out of the morning market, we saw that there was something wrong with the sky, saying that it was cloudy or not, and that it was sunny or not.

I rolled down the window, looked at the sky outside, and said with some concern, "It's going to rain today." ”

Practical leaned back in his seat and slowly shook his head twice: "Today should be a sunny day, right." There is a vision in the sky, and someone should be performing a great technique. ”

When I drove the car into the compound of the grain bureau, the sky was completely clear, but the practical mood was completely opposite to the sky, he kept frowning halfway, and sighed from time to time, I asked him what he was thinking, and he didn't say.

When I arrived at the mouth of the alley, I felt that the demonic power in the air was a little heavier than usual, and now I and I were wrapped in demonic energy again, if I hadn't been in contact with him for so many days, I would almost have regarded him as a monster in human form.

Practical looked up at the sky, then looked at the alley next door, and said to me, "When the noodles are kneaded, you can go to Lao Wan's to see the situation." ”

"Didn't you say that other people's affairs should be left alone?"

"Don't talk nonsense, let you go, you will go."

Speaking of which, I had long wanted to go to see Mr. Chi, so I immediately quickened my pace, and after entering the store, I kneaded the noodles by dividing them by two, and then took out a little money from my pocket and went straight to the roast duck restaurant.

Every shop in the compound opened early, and it was not yet half past six, and the roast duck shop was already wafting with a strong fragrance.

As soon as he entered the courtyard of the roast duck restaurant, Mr. Chi happened to come out of the back room with two large wooden basins.

I waved at him, "It's so early." ”

As soon as he saw me, he smiled, and he raised a hand and waved at me.

But as soon as he raised his hand like this, the basin in his arms fell to the ground with a bang, and the hot water in the basin was scattered all over the ground with duck feathers.

"What's the matter!"

Uncle Wan heard the noise in the yard, and rushed out of the store while shouting.

Seeing the hot water and chicken feathers all over the ground, Uncle Wan suddenly panicked, hurried to Mr. Chi, carefully flipped through his trouser legs and cuffs, and shouted nervously: "It's not hot, right?" The water is hot. ”

Mr. Chi didn't seem to know how to respond to him, but he took a step back, pointed to the two basins that fell on the ground and said, "I'll pay for it." ”

Uncle Wan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's okay." You don't need to pay for it, the basin hit by wood can't be broken. ”

After saying this, he then changed his face to a very serious face, and shouted at Mr. Chi: "You said that you kid, why are you always frizzy, the water is so hot, what if it is hot!" ”

Mr. Chi scratched his head and said sullenly, "Not next time." ”

"Alright, clean up the water on the ground, and destroy the way of the Westinghouse by the way." As he spoke, Uncle Wan changed his mind again: "I'll extinguish the stove, after you finish cleaning up the water on the ground, go to the kitchen to wash the dishes and dishes." ”

Mr. Chi let out a sullen "oh", then took a broom and concentrated on sweeping up the dirty water and duck feathers on the ground.

Uncle Wan's gaze kept moving slowly with Mr. Shi, and finally fell on me, and then he raised a smile: "Hey, where did you come from?" ”

I smiled at him too, "Just arrived." ”

"Come on, come on, there just came out of a stove of duck, and it's still hot."

While talking, Uncle Wan quickly entered the store.

When I walked towards the door of the store, I noticed that Mr. Chi was only concerned with sweeping the water, but he didn't notice that a wooden basin was rolling towards the corner of the yard.

"You put the basin away first, and then sweep the water."

I kindly reminded him, Mr. Chi raised his head, smiled innocently, and then ran to chase the pot.

This guy is really stupid.

As soon as he entered the store, Uncle Wan happened to fork a roast duck from the steel frame and was about to put it in an oily paper bag.

I leaned up to him and raised my chin towards the door: "Uncle Wan, is that a new guy in the store?" ”

"Ah, yes, the first two days. It's also a poor kid, he doesn't have an ID card, I think he really has nowhere to go, so I let him stay. Uncle Wan took off the hook on the duck's head and said with a smile: "This kid is a little stupid, but he is very sincere." ”

I said, "He hasn't been messing with you lately, has he?" ”

Uncle Wan also smiled bitterly: "Hey, don't mention it, I've been here for a few days, and I haven't helped anything, and it's all messing up." If you add to the chaos, you can add chaos, and if you do it for a while, you will definitely get better. Anyway, I don't miss him a pair of chopsticks here, he stays here, and someone is my companion. ”

"You're usually alone in the store?"

"No, when I was young, I was still busy alone, and my body has not been big in the past two years, and I am really a little tired after being busy all day long."

"What about the family, aren't they all in the local area?"

"There's no one at home, hehe, my wife died in the first two years, and now I'm the only one left. It's good to be alone, and the whole family is not hungry when you are full. ”

"Isn't the child around?"

"No kids, hehe."

When he said this, I was a little embarrassed, I knew that Uncle Wan was a lonely old man who had no support and no support, so I shouldn't have asked that sentence just now.

At this time, there were other customers in the store, so I didn't stay any longer, paid, picked up the oiled paper bag and went out of the store.

At that time, Mr. Chi was still concentrating on sweeping the floor, and when I saw that there was no one else in the yard, I rushed to him with an arrow and grabbed his wrist: "Borrow a step to speak." ”

Mr. Chi was putting all his energy on sweeping the floor just now, and suddenly he was caught by me like this, his body trembled violently, and he looked up at me before he was relieved: "Ouch, scare me." ”

I dragged him into the corner, frowned and asked him, "What are you doing?" ”

"I'm sweeping the water."

"It's not about this, why is there such a strong demonic aura in the compound."

While speaking, I also deliberately glanced at the door of the store, including Uncle Wan, the two people in the door of the store were all wrapped in a layer of demonic energy, if I hadn't known in advance that these demonic spirits were spread by Mr. Chi, it was likely that they would have been regarded as monsters.
