Chapter 3: Matsutake Chicken Soup

At this time, it is not the fattest time for pike crabs. But I saw a few crabs on this plate, all of them were in a fat and yellow state, presumably one in a hundred, and the price should be expensive.

So when the tide rises, this spicy fried crab is naturally not cheap.

The price in the store is set by Zhang tomorrow, and I don't care so much, I grab one and eat it in a big bite.

There is a saying among the people on the seaside: crabs are tasteless. It's true, this crab is really delicious, just boiled in white water to eat, it is full of umami, Zhang tomorrow invited this master is really good, did not use too much seasoning, just used a little green onion and garlic to stir-fry, add a little Sichuan spicy sauce, so that the fried crab, not only the umami is retained, but also more layered.

There is also the matsutake chicken soup, which is also very delicious, the matsutake mushroom is all wild, and after a mouthful of soup, I feel that the energy I spent staying up late last night has returned.

In the private room that was still tense just now, after serving these dishes, it was much quieter all of a sudden, and I could only hear the sound of everyone eating, which was completely like entering another state.

This is the charm of food, which can make people forget their troubles in an instant and devote themselves to a joyful feast, and what they feel in their bodies at that moment is the most real.

The three men ate really well, and soon the table was swept away.

Touching his stomach, the intermediary Xiao Chen burped, and looked at the high layer of crab shells in front of him with satisfaction, he was laughing.

Pulling out a tissue to wipe his mouth, Xiao Chen exclaimed: "This chef's skills are really good, and the crabs are really authentic!" ”

"Do you know how much this pot costs?" Zhang Mingming snorted disdainfully.

Xiao Chen thought for a moment: "What's the matter, it's more than a hundred." ”

"More than a hundred? You eat a shell, five hundred and eighty yuan, the current price! ”

"I'm rubbing, so expensive?" Xiao Chen's eyes widened.

"Nonsense, don't you look at what time it is, such a good crab, you don't have a B number in your heart when you eat it?"

Xiao Chen smiled and touched his stomach, as if he was glad that he was much better.

"Do you want to eat again next time?"

"And ...... Next time? ”

"Of course!" Zhang Mingming came to Xiao Chen's side: "As long as you tell us clearly, what is the situation in that house, this will be your canteen from now on, and you can come whenever you want!" ”

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and he confirmed with Zhang Mingming again, and then he took out the phone.

"I'll be honest with you, I just know that the house is not easy to rent, as for what, because I didn't handle it the first few times."

Speaking of this, seeing that our faces were a little not good-looking, he hurriedly said: "But it's okay, I'll make a phone call, and the people I handled before are all my colleagues, and I'll ask them what the situation is." ”

So, in front of me, he made several phone calls.

Anyway, he is here now, if he wants to run, he will rush at his thin body, and Zhang and I will definitely be able to take him down tomorrow, so we watched him make phone calls while drinking tea.

During this period, I had some urgency to urinate, went out to the toilet, and when I washed my hands, I wiped my face by the way, looked up at the mirror, and suddenly found a person standing in the mirror.

It's the caped woman!

I was shocked, and when I turned around, she was no longer behind me.

When I looked in the mirror again, she had pulled down the brim of her hat and was smiling at me.

"Have you figured it out?" She asked me suddenly.

Her voice was cold, like a Korean wave that pierced straight into my heart, leaving me with nowhere to run.

I asked her, "What?" ”

"That deal, ten years of longevity, for you to see your parents."

“……”

I hesitated, but didn't make a sound.

At this moment, the toilet door opened, and an employee came in, and when he saw me inside, he called me "Boss Song". I nodded at him, and then saw that the woman in the mirror was gone.

The faucet kept on, turned it off, and after reconfirming that the woman was no longer in the bathroom, I went out.

Back in the private room, Xiao Chen had already finished calling.

He Bi also beckoned the waiter to come in, clean up the table for us, put down a pot of tea, and left.

Zhang Mingming and I sat side by side at the table, the intermediary Xiao Chen faced us, the private room was not large, and the whole thing felt like the scene of the special service on TV.

"Did you make that clear?" I asked Xiao Chen.

He nodded, swallowed his saliva and asked us, "Are you sure, want to know?" ”

His reaction could only arouse the other party's curiosity even more, and Zhang Mingming and I nodded at the same time:

"Of course!"

"Well, since you want to know, I'll tell you."

So, in Xiao Chen's next conversation, we learned some things that happened before the house:

Although the community is not big, the houses are very good, and everything is good towards the location. The listing was sold out at the opening, and the first owners were a husband and wife.

The relationship between the couple is more complicated, the man is married for the second time, he has a son who is a few years old and follows his ex-wife, the woman is married for the first time, and she likes this man because she is old, and the other is also looking at the man to take care of the family honestly.

The house was bought by this woman, and when the man divorced, he left the house cleanly, and he who had no car or house and no savings even had money.

The woman has worked alone for so many years, and she has a little savings, and she has spent a lot of money on the decoration of this house. I was going to have another child of my own with a man after I got married, and then the family lived happily, but who knew that something happened to me.

After going to the hospital for an examination, the woman was infertile, she hid at home and cried all day, and it was useless for the man to persuade him.

The man thinks it's nothing, because he has his own children after all, but the woman is unwilling, she becomes a little depressed, and worries all day long that the man will cheat or something, and she is worried.

Later, she actually proposed to let the man ask for the child born with his ex-wife, and she promised to raise it as her own child, and she would never be selfish.

The man thought about it for a while, and his ex-wife didn't seem to be having a good time now, and because he had a son, it was not easy to remarry, so he went to discuss with his ex-wife and asked for custody of the child.

The woman was very happy at first, and she felt that the man would not leave her now.

But who knows that it didn't take long for the man to come home one day and find the woman hanging herself from the chandelier in the living room, while his son was dead in the room with scars.

At that moment, he was broken.

Hearing this, Zhang Mingming and I were also a little devastated, it turned out that the house we had lived in for so long actually killed two people. Just as we were about to say something, Xiao Chen said:

"I'm not done yet, this is just the beginning......"
