Chapter 19: It's Weird and Cold, It's Not a Ghost.

In Zhengzhou in 2015, dog days were not ordinary. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Some people say that if you take an egg and put it outside to dry for a day, it will be cooked.

It's an exaggeration, but you can see how hot it is from a point.

However, when I followed the footsteps of the young Brother Han and stepped into this restaurant called Whole Fish Banquet, it was like falling into an ice cellar.

Is it the air conditioner?

Of course not. The refrigeration of air conditioning is just the use of the conversion of different states of freon to achieve heat absorption and cooling. In this method, the first thing you need is to close the place as much as possible, and generally the doors and windows must be closed to achieve a good effect.

However, this restaurant is completely different. Not only are its doors open, but even the windows are open.

It stands to reason that even if the air conditioning is turned on in the hotel, it is impossible to achieve such a biting cold feeling?

I couldn't help but shudder, looked at the empty hotel, pulled Brother Han's clothes with some uneasiness, and whispered, Brother Han, why don't we change places?

The young man shook his head, still expressionless, and said, "What do you change?" On this hot day, I finally found a summer resort, why do you want to leave?

After speaking, the young man sat down at the dining table in the middle of the restaurant, slapped the table, and shouted, "Boss? Boss! ”

Seeing this, I knew that I couldn't change Brother Han's mind. He simply carried the wooden sword and sat down next to the young man.

The shopkeeper didn't seem to expect anyone to come, and didn't come out of the back kitchen until the young man urged him a second time.

This is an old man in his sixties, not tall, about 1.6 meters, with a simple face, two goatees under his nose, and thick lips, looking like an honest man. However, on this hot day, he was strangely wearing a velvet jacket......

The boss walked out of the back kitchen with an impatient look on his face and approached us with his hands behind his back. When seeing us, no. To be precise, when I saw the young man, my face suddenly became pleasantly surprised, and I said with some excitement, Yo! Brother Zifeng is here, why didn't you notify you in advance, the old man is going to pick you up?

The young man waved his hand and said that there is no need, Lao Cui, please make some meals for the two of us first, we haven't eaten lunch yet.

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and said happily that this is going and this is going. It's the same as last time, right?

The young man nodded. The shopkeeper immediately understood, and hurried to the back kitchen to start working.

But I saw that I was tired, smiled, and asked the young man, Brother Han, we are going to catch it today......

When the ghost word came to my mouth, I was stopped by the young man's eyes.

"Those who do what we do, don't talk about it in its territory." The young man still said coldly. "You guessed it, this is where we're coming. Eat more later, and replenish your strength. lest they have no strength to flee. ”

I smiled awkwardly and explained. Seeing that the meal was not ready, I talked to him again and asked him where he was first.

He replied that Zhoukou Huaiyang.

I asked him again, and said, oh, I've heard of Huaiyang, and there is a famous Taihao Mausoleum there. By the way, I just heard the shopkeeper call you Zifeng? Then again, we've known each other for so long, I still don't know what your full name is? My name is Chen Yifan, and my hometown is not far from you, in Zhumadian, Henan.

The young man nodded and said My name is Han Zifeng.

I asked him what he had been up to.

He thought about it, and his rare speech was no longer concise, and he joked that I was a student before. Well, junior high school students. So I don't read much, don't lie to me.

I laughed and said, "How so? We're good brothers.

The young man was suddenly stunned, looked at me, shook his head again, and leaned back in the chair to close his eyes and recuperate.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward again.

I'm a little restless. Am I saying the wrong thing?

Nope!

Or does he simply disdain me as his brother?

It can't be either. Although he spoke straighter, I could feel that he should have a good heart.

Since it is not, then, there is only one last possibility left, that is, he has been injured by his brother before, so he will be sensitive to the word brother.

And looking at his appearance, I'm afraid he is not lightly injured. Could it be that his best brother robbed him of the woman he loved the most?

Nima, that's bloody.

But if that's the case, then how handsome does his brother have to be to snatch a woman from him.

I was thinking nonsense on the side, while the young man Han Zifeng kept his eyes closed.

The atmosphere is getting more and more awkward. Fortunately, the owner of the shop brought the food to him.

First, a fried golden serving, chewing something crunchy and similar to potato chips.

I tasted it, and I felt that the oil was very high, and the taste was really similar to potato chips, so I asked the owner what kind of dish it was.

The shopkeeper seemed very enthusiastic and said that it was fried fish scales. The method is very simple, that is, wash the scraped fish scales and fry them in oil.

I nodded, and said don't say it, it tastes so good.

The shopkeeper smiled and went to the back kitchen again. Then they brought out fried fish larvae, chopped pepper fish head, sliced fish with green onions, and a portion of fish bone soup.

At the end, two bowls of white rice were served.

I'll go, the standard four dishes and one soup.

Han Zifeng, who closed his eyes and recuperated, finally opened his eyes after the dishes were served. He smiled at the boss and said that it was hard work. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Sit down, I have something to ask you.

The shopkeeper was still hesitant, but when he heard the young man Han Zifeng say that he had something to ask him, he sat down.

I saw that the three of them didn't know how to use chopsticks, so I smiled, eased the atmosphere, and said Hey, boss, how many fish do you share in these four dishes and one soup?

The shopkeeper smiled and explained to me, saying little brother, don't be a boss or a boss, my name is Cui Zhiqiang, you are the same as Brother Zifeng, just call me Lao Cui. These four dishes and one soup are actually made with the same fish. That's the signature of my shop.

What the? A meal made by a fish?

I was taken aback and saw that Han Zifeng next to me had already started to eat with chopsticks. I didn't hesitate, I immediately tasted them one by one, hey, it's really delicious.

It's full of hue and flavor, and the key is that it feels new. It's really a whole world.

I was so excited about this meal that I almost forgot the purpose of my visit.

Fortunately, after the three rounds of cooking, the young man Han Zifeng opened his mouth and asked the owner Cui Zhiqiang, Lao Cui, tell me about your business. Since when did this start?

Cui Zhiqiang nodded and said okay. In this case, it is probably that after you and Zhang Banxian came, and after two or three days or so, my store suddenly began to cool down, and it became colder and colder day by day. At first, we didn't pay much attention, and because it was colder than outside, more and more people came to eat here to escape the heat, and business was quite good. But after another week, there was no room for anyone to enter at all.

I searched for a lot of people and tried a lot of ways to no avail. Finally, I remembered that you and Zhang Banxian came to dinner before, and the business card left for me contacted you.

Don't look at the low temperature in this room now, if it weren't for the two runes that Zhang Banxian gave me, it would have been more than ten degrees below zero. Alas, I don't know what iniquity I have made!

Han Zifeng listened, nodded, and said that the last time I came, Old Man Zhang said that you have a problem here, but I didn't expect it to be quite accurate. Okay, I'm full, too. Before it's dark, you can show me the back.

The shopkeeper immediately stood up and hurriedly said no problem, no problem.

I had just eaten half full, and when I saw that both of them had stood up, and knew that it was time to get down to business, I quickly pulled two large mouthfuls of rice from the bowl, and took another sip of fish soup, before carrying a wooden sword and walking towards the back kitchen with them.

The whole fish banquet is not a big hotel, but it is not small. There are two doors in the back kitchen, one door is larger, and the inside is about thirty or forty square meters in size, and it is a rectangular one, which is the main kitchen. A gate next to it leads to an open-air backyard of 60 square meters.

In addition, on each of these two door frames, a piece of yellow rune paper three fingers wide and two fingers long is pasted, on which red symbols are drawn.

This should be the rune that Zhang Banxian gave to Boss Cui.

I followed the two of them to the kitchen for a walk, looked at the small backyard, and then followed them back and sat down at the dining table.

As soon as he sat down, the boss Cui Zhiqiang eagerly asked, what is the matter? Do you have eyebrows?

The whole process belongs to soy sauce, so I don't understand anything. Naturally, he shook his head and looked at the young man.

Han Zifeng deserved to be a young man, so he actually nodded, was silent for a while, and then spoke, saying that his eyebrows were a little bit. But it's strange, it gives me the feeling that it's not a ghost.
