Chapter Eighty-Seven: Meet Lao Zhang
After eating, Yu Datou pulled the party sentiment and said to Huang Lei that he was going to visit a few old friends, so he would not go back first, and then go back in the evening. Let Huang Lei not wait for them to eat, just leave a door for them.
Huang Lei knew that there might be something in Yu's head that he didn't want to know, so he agreed obediently, just told the two to be careful, and drove back with Xiao Jiang.
Dang Qing didn't know where Yu was going with his head, and asked curiously, "Grandpa, where are we going?" ”
"You forgot, it's not convenient in the Huang family, you have to find a place to dispose of your meat!" Yu glanced around and whispered.
"So that's it! So where do we go? Is there a suitable place here? "How do you do it like a spy activity?
"I went to an old friend to borrow his house for use, he was relatively quiet there, few people came over, just right for us!" I remembered that a friend of mine had such a place. It's also nearby, and Yu Datou doesn't want to find another place.
"That's fine! Shall we bring him some gifts? The party thought that if you rashly go to someone's house, you must bring a gift.
"He likes to drink, just bring him two bottles of wine, just now I saw a wine shop, you can make some loose wine, he had better take this sip, too good wine he doesn't like."
The grandfather and grandson carried two bottles of wine to a small courtyard, which was quiet and did not seem to be inhabited by many people.
Yu knocked on the courtyard door with his head, and after a while, he heard the door creak open from the inside.
"Who is it?" An old voice came from inside, accompanied by a cough.
"Lao Zhang, it's me!" Dang Qing saw that behind the door was an old man with gray hair and a somewhat hunchbacked, he covered his mouth with one hand and beat his back with the other, and the violent coughing made it difficult for him to breathe.
"It's your big head, why do you think of me as a bad old man?" The old man opened the door completely and let the two of them in.
"Who else but me? That is, I still think about you, what do you say you are doing in this yard every day? Go to the military district and see how I can drop? Yu Datou complained more than once.
Dang Qing could hear from his grandfather's tone that he was very concerned about this old man. Maybe they're used to this kind of caring for each other.
"Who is this little girl? How come you've never seen it? The old man didn't pay attention to Yu Tou's questioning at all, and every time Yu Tou was these few words. asked curiously about Dang Qing next to the big head.
"This is my current granddaughter, called Dangqing! Come on, girl! This is Lao Zhang, you call Grandpa Zhang! Yu Datou gave a brief introduction to the two.
"Ahem...... Cough...... When did you recognize it? Why are you showing it to me now? The old man coughed and asked!
Yu Datou seemed to be used to the old man's cough like this, and he didn't care about his cough and said: ", I just recognized it,!" Before I could tell you, I brought her here. ”
"Then what the hell are you doing here? Can't just let this girl recognize me, right? Lao Zhang didn't believe Yu Datou's words at all. If this big head really saw that he wouldn't bring himself alcohol, he didn't approve of him drinking.
"I'm going to the northwest in two days, I'm going to say goodbye to you! By the way, borrow it for your kitchen! "Yu Datou doesn't know what politeness is! The polite words are too fake, and with his friendship with Lao Zhang, he is still comfortable to go straight to.
"I knew you were coming, it must be no good thing, put the wine in the house for me, and you can use it in the kitchen!" Remember to clean up for me when you're done! Lao Zhang looked at the wine bottle in Yu Datou's hand, and didn't care what they were going to do, only the wine in their hands.
"I know hello, I don't bring two bottles with you, you drink slowly first!" Lao Zhang didn't mean that the big head snatched the wine after speaking, and waved his hand at the two people, so what should you do!
The party doesn't know what's wrong with his character, and the people I've seen recently are so weird. Old Man Huang is, and so is Old Grandpa Zhang!
Yu took the party to the kitchen with his head, and he closed the kitchen door. Asked Dang Qing to take out his knife, he first sharpened the knife with a whetstone, and then asked Dang Qing to take out a rabbit and start to peel it.
The party was not idle, filled the pot with water, and began to boil water. There are not only rabbits in his space, but also pheasants and wild boars, all of which need to be shed.
Yu Datou was very satisfied with the reaction of the party, and at first glance he was a child who had suffered. I didn't look away.
The two worked together and quickly dealt with a bunch of animals.
The party put away all the animal skins, and Yu said in the head, wait until you get to the northwest to find a chance to nitrate the skins!
Yu knew that Lao Zhang would easily fall asleep as long as he drank wine, and he was not worried that such a big movement on his side would let him know. The surroundings are also very quiet, there are not many houses, these are all dead things, except that the blood is not good to cover up, there is nothing to worry about.
Even if he wasn't worried, Yu didn't do a lot of things, and only fried the rabbit and pheasant briefly. The other meats are boiled in a marinated way, which is both flavorful and easy to carry.
The two of them worked until the evening to get all the meat ready. Of course, it is not necessary to make all the animals into mature food, and then it will be too late.
The grandfather and grandson started to wrap all the meat that was sliced and cut into pieces with the lotus leaves collected before the party's feelings. After cleaning up the kitchen, Yu took out a piece of wild boar meat and some pigs and went into the water, and went to Lao Zhang's hall with the party feelings.
Looking at Lao Zhang, who was sleeping soundly on the table, Yu shook him awake with his head, and asked the party to put the dishes on the table, and the two old men chatted for a while and drank some wine!
This kind of mode of getting along is incomprehensible to the party situation, she has never seen such a relationship, even if she is about to separate, she does not have the sadness of parting, but is as calm and calm as she has to experience every day.
Such a friend doesn't need too many words, just can help without scruples when you need it most, that's enough!
The summer nights are not so hot anymore, and the cool breeze makes night walkers feel extremely comfortable.
Yu Datou, who drank wine, didn't know if it was blown by the wind or smoked by wine to tell the party about Lao Zhang.
It turned out that Lao Zhang was also a cook, and he was a very famous cook, but unfortunately he was seriously injured by the master because of a mistake, injured his lungs, and his hands were not dexterous, and he has never cooked since then.
Lao Zhang had several sons, each of whom was a cook, and after the establishment of the new government, they all opened their own restaurants and were very busy.
Lao Zhang didn't want to live with his sons, so he lived alone in this small courtyard, and people came to deliver food every day, and he was also happy and quiet, but he loved to drink.
Yu Datou and Lao Zhang met when they were young, and the two of them traveled a lot together, if it weren't for Lao Zhang's injury, the two of them would have to continue their journey. Speaking of this, Yu Datou said with infinite emotion: "The world is unpredictable, Lao Zhang had to give up being a cook because of his injury, and if it weren't for his reluctance, he wouldn't stay in the military region and wouldn't recognize you as a granddaughter!" ”
