This year, Chen Ziyang just passed his tenth birthday. It happened to be the summer vacation when he was in the third grade of elementary school. Because Chen Ziyang's parents need to go to work during the day, every time Chen Ziyang has no one to take care of him during the winter and summer vacations, he has to go to the restaurant opened by his second uncle to mess around.

Write your holiday homework here and help wipe down your desk. First, there will be no things happening at home, someone will take care of them, and second, there will be a place to mix lunch.

Chen Nianzhong is the eldest in the family, and there are six younger brothers below. Chen Ziyang has always admired his grandmother, and he gave birth to seven boys in his life.

Chen Ziyang's second uncle opened a small restaurant in the town, and the restaurant only had seven or eight tables and a kitchen, which was very simple. However, although the sparrow is small, don't look at the restaurant, Chen Ziyang's second uncle's craftsmanship is indeed good, the fried first-hand good dishes, Chen Ziyang's second aunt's white case kung fu is also quite good, steamed steamed buns and steamed buns are well-known.

So it's almost full every day when it's time to eat. Those who come are students from the neighborhood or people who live far away and don't care about food in the unit, and they can also sell some dry food such as steamed buns and flower rolls every Sunday.

Chen Ziyang stayed in this small restaurant every year except Sunday when he was on holiday, until he was in the sixth grade of primary school, when the country changed to a weekend, and he stayed here one day less every week.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the meal had already passed, and there was not a single guest in the small restaurant. Chen Ziyang's second uncle and second aunt were packing up their things and were going to close the door after a while, Chen Ziyang was bragging about how powerful his grandmother was, and she gave birth to seven boys in her life, and the waiter said that her grandmother gave birth to twelve, which extinguished Chen Ziyang's arrogance at that time.

At this moment, an old man in his fifties walked into the hotel. On this hot day, he was wearing a dark gray robe, which was very old, but very clean. Lao Dao coiled his hair in a bun, and there seemed to be a hairpin inserted in the bun, but how did the hairpin look like a chopstick...... Chen Ziyang was stunned when he saw that old man, thinking that this old way was still dressed so neatly on such a hot day, I don't know if it will cause hot prickly heat.

This is the first time Chen Ziyang has seen Lao Dao with his own eyes, and he has only seen Taoist robes when he watched "Journey to the West" on TV. There are 10,000 people in the town of Chen Ziyang's hometown, and there is not even a temple or Taoist temple, and there is only a small temple in the nearest city, and there are only two monks in it, a host and a small novice.

Lao Dao is a rare thing here, and Chen Ziyang couldn't help but look at Lao Dao a few more times. This old man has a big round face, white and clean without a beard, and the most prominent place on the big round face is the red garlic nose, which is densely covered with pits, which may be the rosacea nose.

As soon as Lao Dao entered the house, he first asked, "Do you have anything to eat?" ”

Chen Ziyang's second uncle was also stunned for a moment, you must know that almost everyone in this small town knows each other, and he has never heard of when he came to an old way. "There are also some cabbage-stuffed dumplings, more than a pound, that's all left, how many do you come?"

"It's all cooked." Lao Dao found the largest table and sat down.

What? It's all cooked! That's more than a pound of dumplings, it's the amount of the pot that hasn't been cooked, if it's out of the pot, it's nearly two pounds.

"Have you eaten?" The second uncle asked.

"It's all cooked." Lao Dao didn't say much, picked up a dark red gourd he carried with him, pulled out the stopper and drank the contents of it, Chen Ziyang smelled the gourd from a distance as if it was wine.

Since everyone has cooked it, the second uncle doesn't talk nonsense, it's rare that there is only this little thing left today and can be sold cleanly, so he happily cooked a big pot of dumplings. As soon as the dumplings were served, this old Taoist didn't know that he hadn't eaten for a few days, so he ate all the three plates of dumplings with old vinegar one by one.

Chen Ziyang was so greedy that he thought that when he went home at night, he had to ask his mother to make dumplings for him to eat, and they had to be filled with cabbage.

After Lao Dao finished eating, he wiped his mouth, and Guan Chen Ziyang's second uncle asked for a big bowl of dumpling soup to drink. The old man drank a big bowl of dumpling soup in a few sips. It was the first time Chen Ziyang had seen someone who could drink dumpling soup so with relish. As soon as Lao Dao finished drinking, he got up and took the wine gourd and was about to walk out the door.

"Alas, Daoist, you haven't paid yet?"

"Give money? What money to give? ”

Hey, this Chen Ziyang's second uncle was all angry, thinking that my dumplings of more than a pound, that plate is not cold, you are getting faster.

"Dumpling money, three plates! You've eaten it all and forgot?"

"Well, I ate your dumplings, didn't I?"

"Yes."

"I drank your dumpling soup too, didn't I?"

"That's right."

"The original soup has been turned into the original food, the donor's dumplings have been melted away by your dumpling soup, since it has been melted, the poor Dao has not eaten the donor's dumplings, and if you don't eat it, you don't have to give money." Lao Dao touched the oil star on his mouth and said unsatisfied.

Chen Ziyang and his second uncle glanced at each other, and both the uncle and nephew saw the shock in each other's eyes.

High, really high! It's the first time I've seen someone who eats white food say it so reasonably. It is said that a few plates of dumplings are not a thing, usually a guest here forgets to bring money or is passing by from other places to beg for saliva or a monk from the traveling party or something, Chen Ziyang's second uncle is not the same thing, he should give it, he is not a stingy person.

But today, I was angry that I ordered food when I came to this old way, and I didn't say that I came to turn into a fate, and I raised my ass and left after eating, and I said that eating white food was so high-sounding, and the second uncle was so angry in his heart, but he couldn't find a refutation for a while. He gritted his teeth and waved his hand, and said to the old man: "Immortal Chief, let's go!" ”

After the old way left, Chen Ziyang's second uncle was counted down by his second aunt, needless to say, the second uncle and Chen Ziyang studied for a long time and didn't understand how to make people eat three plates of dumplings for nothing. So I decided to see if the old way would come tomorrow.

The next day, it was still the same point, and the old way came again......

As soon as Chen Ziyang saw the old man coming in, he hurriedly called his second uncle. Chen Ziyang's second uncle looked at it, and wondered in his heart if he didn't know what new tricks this old way could come to today.

The old man still ordered a pound of dumplings, and said in his mouth: "One pound is enough, I ate a little bit yesterday." Don't waste it. This made Chen Ziyang's second uncle angry, and thought to himself: "Okay, you are a red-nosed old man, and you are good at selling when you get cheap." Co-authored by me, I held you up. ”

Chen Ziyang's second uncle finished cooking the dumplings and served them. Once again, the amazing scene was staged. The old way of chirping and chirping made more than a pound of dumplings again, still not garlic, just dipped in old vinegar to eat, after eating still asked for a bowl of dumpling soup, goo dong dong drank it and raised his butt and left.

Chen Ziyang's second uncle raised his arm at the door and asked, "Dao Chief, what do you say today?" ”

"The original soup turns into the original food."

"Why don't you change something fresh?"

"Hehe, just make it easy."

The second uncle didn't pull with him, put down his arm and let Lao Dao go.

"Second uncle, you just let him go?" Even Chen Ziyang couldn't stand it.

"yes, what if he comes next time? Just tell him to eat like this? "Chen Ziyang's second aunt was eaten dumplings for two days in a row, and she was distressed.

"Tomorrow, if he dares to come tomorrow, you see how I clean him up. I thought he could change something fresh today, but if he doesn't change it, hum, it's easy to do it if he doesn't change it, I have a trick to treat him. The second uncle looked at the back of Lao Dao and said with a smile.

The third day happened to be a Saturday, and sure enough, it was still that point, and the old way came again.

"What are you doing today?" Seeing Lao Dao coming in, the second uncle asked him with a smile.

Lao Dao smiled slightly and said, "Just eat your dumplings, cabbage filling, it's still a catty." ”

"Oh, it's unfortunate, the dumplings are sold a little more today, and there is just over half a catty left, or I'll cook it for you first, and then I'll see if I can make up for something else for you to fill."

"Okay, you can watch the whole thing."

After Chen Ziyang heard Lao Dao, his small eyes were already smiling into a slit, thinking that he was afraid that you don't want anything else, so he turned around and walked into the kitchen.

After a while, Chen Ziyang's second uncle carried a plate of dumplings and a plate of fried vegetable balls on the old Tao's table. "Dao Chief, that's all there is left for today, the dumplings are still specially left for you, use them slowly."

Seeing Lao Dao eating a mouthful of dumplings and a mouthful of balls very happily, Chen Ziyang laughed on the side, thinking: "Lao Dao, you are going to be miserable today, although I don't know what my second uncle sells, but you should be careful, you don't know my second uncle." Back then, my second uncle also had No. 1 here. Ask for your own blessings. ”

Seeing that Lao Dao had finished eating the last dumpling, Chen Ziyang's second uncle immediately brought the dumpling soup that had been served aside and cooled a long time ago. Lao Dao looked at it and said with a smile: "The son can be taught." After a few sips of dumpling soup, Lao Dao touched the oil star on his mouth and got up to leave.

At this time, Chen Ziyang's second uncle brought a large bowl of hot oil and put it on the table.

"What does that mean?" The old man asked puzzled.

Chen Ziyang's second uncle stood opposite Lao Dao, stepped on the stool with his right foot, carried a kitchen knife in his right hand, put the wrist of his right hand on his right knee, and slowly patted his right calf with a knife, and said: "Dao Chief, I didn't keep you two days ago because you said that the original soup turned into the original food, and everything you ate was melted, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll melt the dumplings you ate today, but this vegetable ball is fried with this oil, and you haven't melted it yet. Today, either you drink this bowl of raw soup oil and melt this ball for me, or you settle the account for these three days. If you can't get rid of it, you can change my argument and convince me. ”

"This ......," the old man's sweat ran down his cheeks.

"Flutter" Chen Ziyang couldn't hold back when he watched from the side, and suddenly laughed. That's right, the vegetable balls are fried in oil, how do you melt them, do you really drink oil? Not to mention that the oil is hot, it has just come out of the pot, and even if it is cold, I have never heard of anyone who can drink the oil. A mountain is higher than a mountain!

This old man knows that he has encountered hard stubble today, in fact, the old man also understands in his heart that even if he doesn't drink this bowl of oil, he can't cut himself with a knife, it's just to scare and scare him.

The key is that today people have broken his statement that the original soup is the original food, and he has to deal with the past. Ay! I regret that I shouldn't be greedy for a while, and I ate vegetable balls and caught people's ways, if I still only eat dumplings, wouldn't it be fine, next time I can have a long memory.
