Chapter 50: The Guest House
Beno soon returned, armed with a casserole and a medicine stove.
Gu Rao asked, "Do you have enough money to buy these?" ”
Besino's nodded.
"Exactly."
"There's a penny left."
Gu Rao, "......"
How a little pitiful.
"Fifty wen of pocket money a month, will it be too little? Otherwise, I'd better give you more, otherwise you won't have money to buy things in the future, and it will be a shame. ”
Beno shook his head.
"No, you don't."
"I don't usually buy anything, and I can ask you when I need to spend money."
Gu Rao is not reluctant.
"Then it's decided, don't be reluctant to ask me when the time comes."
Beye snorted.
"I'll go boil the medicine first, and you wait a while."
-
Gu Rao did it on the table, and Beiye put the medicine that had been cold for a while in front of her.
"Drink it while it's hot."
Gu Rao picked up the medicine bowl and took a sip gently, and her bitter white and tender face immediately wrinkled into a bun.
It's so bitter!
Beiye took out a small oiled paper bag from his arms, and after opening the oiled paper bag, he took out a piece of maltose from it and handed it to Gu Rao's mouth.
"It's not so bitter to eat a piece of candy."
Gu Rao opened her mouth to put the sugar in her mouth, and the bitter taste in her mouth was indeed reduced.
"When did you buy it?"
Beno replied, "Just now. ”
After Gu Rao drank the bitter medicine, Beiye fed her two more maltose, and the remaining maltose was wrapped in oiled paper again and put in her arms.
Seeing this scene, Gu Rao was full of question marks.
"Just put it on the table, what are you doing in your arms?"
Thinking that maltose is not cheap, I couldn't help but have a trace of bad suspicion in my heart, squinted at him, and asked, "So the treasure is hidden, are you afraid that I will steal it while you are away?" ”
The corners of Beye's mouth twitched.
"I bought it for you, you can eat as much as you want, and I put it on my body because I will go out later, and if you still feel bitter in your mouth, you can eat it."
Gu Rao's cheeks were slightly red, she was a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and she knew that she could change her mistakes, so she confessed, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't think so badly." ”
Beno smiled, not taking this matter to heart. Raised his hand and rubbed her hair, and said gently, "Aren't you hungry?" Let's go, go to dinner. ”
Gu Rao was hit by his laughter again.
Is this really a Leo?
How can you be so gentle!
She's a little overwhelmed!
-
Gu Rao and Bie Ye found a restaurant nearby on South Street, called Kelai Building.
From the outside, it looks unpretentious.
Once inside, there are four tables on the left side of the lobby, a rectangular counter on the right, and a wine cabinet full of wine jars against the wall behind the counter.
Above the four tables, as well as on the left and right sides of the counter, a delicate hexagonal solid wood lantern is hung, adding a touch of elegance to the simple restaurant.
The shopkeeper was standing behind the counter to settle accounts, and when he heard the footsteps, he looked up, and immediately showed a smile on his face, and asked, "What do the two guest officers want to eat?" ”
"Go to the box on the second floor, or in the lobby downstairs?"
Gu Rao asked, "What good dishes do you have here?" ”
The shopkeeper said enthusiastically, "Our meat dishes here include shredded potatoes and pork, stir-fried wild fox meat, stir-fried beef with chili, boiled chicken, steamed eggs with minced meat, roasted white meat, and preserved cabbage chicken; Vegetarian dishes include steamed pumpkin, fried green bamboo shoots, and fried sprouts; The soup includes tofu coveted her, sauerkraut tofu fish soup, pig's trotter soup, and radish and pork chop soup. ”
Beye said, "Let's have a steamed egg with minced meat, and a sauerkraut tofu fish soup." Then he asked, "Are there any yams, lotus roots, lotus seeds, or calluses?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned.
"I'm going to ask in the back kitchen."
Besano nodded.
"I'm sorry for you."
The shopkeeper said yes, and then he went around the counter, lifted the dark blue curtain and went to the back kitchen.
Gu Rao turned her head to look at Beiye.
"I don't remember what Dr. Wu said just now, but you remember it very clearly. In fact, it is already possible to have eggs and tofu, and the body cannot be made up all at once. ”
"In the future, at home, I will make it up for myself and make it up slowly."
Besino's nodded.
"Okay."
The shopkeeper came back soon, for the sake of it, "There are no yams, lotus roots, and callus white, but there are dried ones, may I ask the guest officer, how do you want to eat?" ”
Gu Rao said, "In addition to the two dishes my husband ordered just now, let's have another roasted white meat and a white fungus red date lotus seed soup." ”
The shopkeeper went to the back kitchen again.
Gu Rao looked at his busy back, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in her heart, turned her head and asked, "Why is there only one shopkeeper and a cook in the back, and there is not even a guy running the hall?" ”
Besano explained the reason in one word.
"Business is not good, and it is a waste to invite guys."
Gu Rao, "......"
It seems that this is really the reason.
When she came in just now, she had already found that the restaurant was unusually quiet, and there were no other guests downstairs except for her and Beiye, and there were no footsteps on the second floor, so there should be no guests.
Business is so bad, could it be because the food is not delicious?
Gu Rao suddenly regretted a little, she just picked a nearby restaurant and came in, she should have left when she saw no one just now, and now that the dishes are ordered, she can't leave.
The minced custard was the first to come.
Beiye took out the chopsticks from the chopsticks holder, handed them to Gu Rao, and pushed the minced meat and egg custard in front of her alone.
"Let's eat some custard to pad my stomach first."
Gu Rao was not polite.
First I used chopsticks, and then I felt unaccustomed, so I asked the shopkeeper for a spoon, and after I ate a bite, I scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Beye's mouth.
"You can taste it too, it tastes good."
Although the meat is a little chai and a little oil, and the salt seems to be less, and there is no other seasoning except salt, the egg custard is originally delicious no matter how it is steamed.
Beiye lowered his head and took the spoon in his mouth, ate the spoonful of egg custard, looked at Gu Rao and said, "It's delicious." ”
Gu Rao, "......"
It's delicious, it's delicious, what do you do when you look at her?
Soon, the roasted white meat and sauerkraut tofu fish also came up, and the roasted white meat was the most time-consuming, and it should have been prepared before.
Gu Rao first took a pair of chopsticks to roast the white meat into the other wild bowl.
Beiye also used a small bowl to serve Gu Rao a bowl of sauerkraut tofu and fish soup.
Gu Rao tasted a bite of fish soup and almost didn't spit out the fish soup that she drank in her mouth.
Fishy and bitter!
Sauerkraut was originally able to remove the fishy smell, but with the addition of sauerkraut, the fish soup could be boiled so fishy, Gu Rao was the first time to meet it!
It's so bitter, it should be that I accidentally broke the bitter gall when I killed the fish.
Gu Rao hurriedly went to taste the roasted white meat again.
It was not pork belly, but whole fat meat, and Gu Rao, who only took a small bite carefully, was still greasy.
Not only that, but she couldn't taste anything other than the saltiness of the pickles and the taste of the pork itself.
The taste is extremely unpalatable!
She finally knew why the business of this restaurant was so bad.
It's a miracle that this restaurant has been open to this day.
