Chapter 455: Lao Chen, the stall owner
In order to make a living, Lao Chen had to come here every day to set up a stall.
But because he was too old to keep up with those young stall owners, he couldn't grab the prime position, and after a long time, he simply resigned himself to his fate, and would put the stall at the exit of the food street every day.
This is not a prime location, so there are few customers, and Lao Chen's business is also fateful.
Because of this, he can't make a lot of money in one night.
Su Qingli sighed faintly, and then continued: "So every time I come to this food street to eat, I will come to Lao Chen on purpose, which can be regarded as improving his performance." ”
Jiang Hao touched Su Qingli's head with a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to be so helpful to you." ”
"Anyway, it's just something that I can do, and besides, where to eat is not to eat, although Lao Chen is old, the hot and sour noodles he makes taste very authentic." Su Qingli said with a smile.
After a while, the hot and sour noodles were on the table.
Su Qingli pulled the disposable chopsticks away, and then stuffed them into Jiang Lingling's hand, and thoughtfully reminded: "Eat slowly, don't burn it." ”
"Hmm!"
Jiang Lingling nodded in agreement, but her eyes began to light up when she looked at the bowl of hot and sour noodles in front of her.
Sure enough, as soon as she got the disposable chopsticks, Jiang Lingling immediately couldn't wait to eat them. As soon as she took a bite, she groaned and stuck out her tongue like a pug.
Jiang Hao and Su Qingli were both amused by Jiang Lingling, and the happy atmosphere immediately surrounded them.
"I told you to eat slowly, but you just didn't listen."
Su Qingli said funny, and patted Jiang Lingling's head.
Jiang Lingling was very embarrassed, and her little face became red.
Lao Chen brought the beer, and also used the beer driver to open the lid of the beer, and brought over two well-washed glasses.
"The Ronin Who Started from Douluo"
"Lao Chen, how is the business doing recently?" Su Qingli took a bite of hot and sour noodles, and then asked.
Lao Chen said with a smile: "Yes, yes, maybe it's because it's almost the Chinese New Year recently, so there are a lot of people who come to eat in the food street every night, and I naturally have more guests here." ”
"Oh, that's okay."
Su Qingli nodded with satisfaction.
Jiang Hao was keenly aware of the expression on Lao Chen's face
There is some melancholy in the love.
It seems that Lao Chen has some troubles.
But Lao Chen didn't say it, and Jiang Hao didn't ask. After all, not everyone is willing to tell others about their worries, and it would be rude for him to take the initiative to ask.
"Is it delicious?"
Su Qingli asked with a smile, looking at Jiang Lingling with both eyes.
Jiang Lingling snorted, swallowed the contents in her mouth, and said, "It's so delicious!" ”
"Eat more if it's delicious."
The stall owner Lao Chen was very happy after hearing this, and he couldn't stop laughing.
Suddenly, he realized something, looked at Jiang Lingling suspiciously, and asked, "Ms. Su, is she your daughter?" Don't you have no daughter, why do you suddenly have a child, and it's so old? ”
"Her name is Jiang Lingling, and she is a child adopted by me and my wife."
Su Qingli replied, and then added: "Lingling's biological father and mother have passed away, and Jiang Hao and I adopted her, otherwise she may be sent to an orphanage." ”
Hearing this, Lao Chen immediately cast a look of admiration at Jiang Hao and Su Qingli, and gave a thumbs up.
"I've never served anyone in my life, so I'll serve you, Ms. Su, you are simply a bodhisattva."
As he spoke, Lao Chen took out a small plate, sprinkled some dry spicy seeds into it, and put three roasted sausages.
"Is this ......," Su Qingli asked suspiciously.
"This is for you, thank you, Ms. Su, for coming to take care of my business often." Lao Chen said with a smile.
"Then I'll be respectful and obey."
Su Qingli smiled and picked up a roast sausage, dipped it in some dry spicy seeds, and then took a bite.
Lao Chen's craftsmanship is indeed very good, the oil made of hot and sour noodles is sour and spicy, and the taste is very authentic. And the scones and sausages he makes are also very good. His craftsmanship is obviously very good, but because he can't grab a good position, he can only put the stall here, which is really a little helpless.
However, Lao Chen said: "Now that life is better, the government has begun to pay attention to us lonely old people." I became a low-income household last month, and I get a few hundred yuan every month. Although the money is not much, it is enough for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and so on. Besides, I don't have much to spend money on as an old man, as long as I have enough food to support myself. ”
"That's right." Su Qingli nodded approvingly.
Jiang Lingling's eyes suddenly widened, staring at the glass in front of Jiang Hao and Su Qingli.
The liquid in the glass was none other than yellow-orange-orange beer.
"Want to drink?" Jiang Hao asked with a smile.
Jiang Lingling hummed, and then nodded quickly, like a chicken pecking rice.
Su Qingli next to him frowned slightly and said, "No, you can't let her drink, how can a child drink?" ”
"It's just beer, it's fine. Besides, as long as she tastes it, she knows it's not tasty. ”
Jiang Hao said with a smile.
The child is always interested in what the adults eat and drink, as he did when he was a child. Jiang Hao still remembers that when he was a child, he secretly drank his father's beer during dinner, but he felt very bitter and spit it into his father's cup, and then he was rewarded by his father with seven wolves.
Now let Jiang Lingling taste it, she will definitely feel unpleasant.
Children's sense of taste is different from that of adults.
Jiang Hao then picked up the cup and came to Jiang Lingling. Jiang Lingling did not hesitate, immediately grabbed Jiang Hao's hand and took a sip of beer.
Sure enough, just after taking a sip, Jiang Lingling hurriedly pushed the beer in front of her away.
"It's so bad! It's so bitter! ”
Jiang Lingling said in a milky voice, and frowned tightly.
Su Qingli couldn't bear it anymore, so he covered his mouth and laughed. Jiang Hao smiled and said to the stall owner Lao Chen: "Lao Chen, do you have orange juice here?" ”
"I have Bingfeng, do you want it?"
Lao Chen asked rhetorically.
"Yes."
Jiang Hao nodded and said.
Lao Chen then brought a bottle of Bingfeng, opened the lid, inserted a straw, and put it in front of Jiang Lingling.
Seeing Jiang Lingling's cuteness, Lao Chen couldn't help but touch her head.
"Thank you, grandpa!"
Jiang Lingling said very obediently, and after finishing speaking, she clutched Bingfeng's glass bottle tightly like a starving ghost, biting the straw and sucking it into her mouth.
Twenty minutes passed, and Jiang Hao and Su Qingli had already finished their portion, but Jiang Lingling hadn't finished eating yet.
Jiang Lingling eats very hard, but her mouth is too small, and she can only eat a little bit of each bite.
