was humming, and suddenly heard the voice of Old Man Yao behind him: "What are you doing kid?" ”

Jian Heng turned his head to take a look, and found that the old man Yao was riding his big white horse very coquettishly, and now he was standing behind him to a distance of five or six meters, it seemed that the old man wanted to come up, but the horse was a little timid and refused to set foot on the dock that Jian Heng had just made.

"What about building a dock, didn't you see it, I got the yacht out, how is it good?" Jian Heng stretched out his finger as he spoke, pointing to the yacht parked in the lake.

Old Man Yao glanced at it and praised it twice: "Yes, it's beautiful, you young people are really going to waste money and spend so much money to buy such a thing."

"What's the matter with you?" Jian Heng didn't want to talk to the old man about this, so he turned around and asked the old man what was the matter with him.

Old Man Yao said: "My two apprentices can start practicing now, do you think they should start working now?" ”

Jian Heng didn't agree when he heard this, but asked: "Old man, the current guest, forget it, I'll be so straightforward, now the guest is not a good object to use for experiments, so let's let your two apprentices press a few people in the ranch first, let Toby, Zhang Jialiang and Huang Xiaodong, and Zhao Changshan all try it, I think the effect is good, and there is no problem with the service, and then press the guests, okay?" ”

Old Man Yao thought for a while and said, "It's okay, then I'll go back and inform them, but now you have to pay according to the internship salary, they are all bosses, ......."

Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Jian Heng raised his hand to stop the old man from continuing to speak: "I know, I will inform the accountant of this later, and I will try it myself in a few days, if their level is not good, I still have to follow the rules."

"Of course" Old Man Yao nodded solemnly, he was confident in the two apprentices.

After saying that, the old man urged the horse and was ready to leave, Jian Heng saw it and hurriedly stopped the old man.

"Old man, don't go, I'll go back to get snails later, and I'll try it before leaving!"

Old man Yao heard about the snail, so he took the reins of the horse and turned back: "You said the snail? At this time, the snail has not really grown, and it is still thin, and it has only been a long time since spring."

"Big field snails, they are all so big, and I don't know if they are delicious or not, but they look good in size and meat" Jian Heng stretched out his hand and gestured.

After hearing this, Old Man Yao turned over and dismounted, bolted the side reins of his mount to the tree next to him, put the reins about five meters long, and then rolled up his sleeves and walked up to the dock.

When he lifted his feet and went to the dock, he stepped on his feet hard, tried it and found that the planks under his feet did not move at all, and he opened his mouth to praise Jian Heng: "You kid can, this small dock is well done!" ”

walked to Jian Heng's side, looked up and saw the two big log pillars in the water, stretched out his hand and patted it, then buckled the material with his fingers, then sighed, looked at Jian Heng and said, "You kid is used to luxury, you use this kind of wood as a stake?" If you dig this one, you can buy a dozen cement piles."

"Where the cement thing pollutes me, how good is this thing, and there is no pollution all day" Jian Heng was now sitting on the shelf, with two iron nails in his mouth, reached out and picked one up, pressed it on the head of the plank, and then waved the hammer, only to hear a few clanging sounds, and the finger-long iron nail was nailed into the plank by Jian Heng.

Old Man Yao and Jian Heng sat down face to face, opened their mouths and asked, "Do you still have a hammer?" ”

Jian Heng reached out and touched it from behind, took out a claw hammer, and threw it directly to Old Man Yao.

The old man took the hammer here, reached out and grabbed a few iron nails from the box of iron nails, took one in his hand like Jian Heng, held three in his mouth, and began to swing the hammer to nail the other end of the wooden board to the wooden shelf.

The two of them are left and right, and this work is much faster.

Old Man Yao did it for a while, and said to Jian Heng: "Xiao Jian, I want to go back to my hometown after a while."

"Back home? What are you? Jian Heng was a little strange, thinking that the old man didn't want to do anything else here.

Old Man Yao saw the expression on Jian Heng's face, and said with a smile: "I don't mean to go back, I'm just a little homesick, and the old man is just a little bit out of it."

Jian Heng understands the psychology of the old man, just like his own Lao Tzu, he will miss his hometown wherever he lives, this kind of homesickness is obvious in the older generation, no matter how good it is outside, it is not his hometown.

"When are you going to leave?" Jian Heng asked.

Old Man Yao said: "After a while, wait for the two apprentices to officially take over, by the way, I still have one more thing I want to tell you when I mention this, I am ready to accept a female apprentice."

Jian Heng listened and asked, "Female apprentice?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded: "As long as you are optimistic, it happens that there are more female customers, and it is not very decent to have a male masseuse."

"Then I'll let her come and see you later," Old Man Yao said this, with a playful smile on his face.

Jian Heng didn't notice at this time, now Jian Heng was concentrating on dealing with the last few planks on the dock, and when he heard the old man say this, he hummed casually: "Okay, you can let her come to me in a while."

"Okay, it's finally done, old man, you wait here, I'll go and drive the boat over" Jian Heng put down the hammer, stretched his waist, and ran towards the yacht.

stepped on the water and turned over the yacht, Jian Heng drove the boat to the dock, bolted the cable to the pile, sat on the dock and stretched his feet into his hands while washing, and said to the old man: "Do you want to try it, this thing is so fast."

Old Man Yao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm old here, where can I still have the same excitement as you young people, I still won't try."

The good old man helped Jian Heng put away the tools and put them all in the toolbox.

After washing his feet, Jian Hengkong dried the water and put on his shoes and socks again, then carried the toolbox in the hands of Yao's father and son back to the house, put it in the toolbox, and when he arrived in the kitchen, he found that Old Man Yao had already started to change the water for the snails.

"How? It's not dirty, I've already changed the water twice," Jian Heng asked.

Old Man Yao nodded and said, "There's nothing dirty, the basin of water just now is quite clean, there should be no sediment, you can knock your tail."

Mr. Yao said that knocking the tail is to find the shell of the snail tail to get rid of it, which is conducive to the flavor, and secondly, it is also conducive to further washing the dirt in the snail shell.

As soon as Jian Heng heard that he could knock his tail, he immediately turned around and found a pair of pliers and the old man one by one, moved two small benches and sat down and began to clamp the tail shell of the snail with pliers.

Old man Yao did his work very quickly, catching up with Jian Heng by one and a half, I saw that he was flying, Jian Heng hadn't clamped one yet, and the second one had already started there.

"Okay, old man, be old and strong!" Jian Heng praised him.

Old man Yao smiled: "I used to eat this every year, and I was used to it naturally fast, but this is not yet the fastest time, I used to sit here for fifteen minutes to clip out a big basket, but it's a pity, now the lake in my hometown is seriously polluted, even if it is a small ditch, there are not so many fish, shrimp and snails in the stream!" ”

"You're so good at it, will I fry it or you fry it later?" Jian Heng asked.

Master Yao smiled and said: "It's better for me to come, I'm afraid that your kid's fried food is not tasteful enough, the most important thing about this thing is salty, fresh and spicy." If you don't have these three things, the snails won't taste good."

"Cheng, since your old craftsmanship is high, let it be played" Jian Heng said with a smile.

After the old man and the young man sandwiched all the snails in a basket, Jian Heng prepared a series of ingredients such as peppercorns, star anise, dried red peppers, green onions, etc., according to the old man's instructions, and put them all on the table for the old man.

Not to mention, Master Yao's shelf here is really sufficient, with a white towel hanging on his shoulder, a wok-holding in one hand, and a big spoon in the other, he is a chef.

The snails hadn't been put into the pot yet, and the fragrance of the old man's explosion made Jian Heng swallow and foam.

Waiting for the snail to come out of the pot, Jian Heng pinched one and put it in his mouth to suck a mouthful of snail juice, and suddenly felt that his mouth was full of relish, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the old man.
