I don't know what's going on, although they are the same age, Xiaohua'er feels that it is unpleasant to look at that Hu Xiaopang.

Suddenly there was a little fat man in the small courtyard who ran before and after, learned to make tea and eggs for a while, and changed his mind to learn to make stewed for a while, he wanted to do everything, he wanted to learn everything, which made people look at it as an eyesore, and Sima Zhao's heart was clear!

I don't know why my own brother and brother claws are used to his stinky problems, they are simply responsive, and they are not afraid of teaching their apprentices to starve to death of their masters.

Impatient to see the little fat man's flattery, Xiaohua'er would rather stay at home alone and cook a bowl of fried noodles alone at night than go to the night market again.

Being alone at home, as soon as the door is closed, it is her own world, she wants to read books, watch TV, watch TV, play guitar and play guitar, and the little girl at a young age suddenly finds the joy of being alone.

There are no adults in the family, and now even the annoying stinky brother is not there, and the home at this time is heaven!

"Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, cultivating this body in the cave for thousands of years, ahhh~"

Sitting on the bed, holding the guitar in her hand, and comparing the hand-copied song sheet left by Wang Hongyu, Xiaohuaer learned to sing the theme song of the White Lady in the TV series sentence by sentence.

Wang Hongyu's songbook is very exquisite, and the neat hand-copied lyrics are marked with simple notation, and some even mark the corresponding chords, so that even Xiaohuaer, a guitar beginner, can explore and practice by himself according to the songbook.

After Xiao Hua'er seriously passed the theme song of the White Lady twice, she flipped the songbook backwards casually, wanting to see what other songs were suitable for her own practice, Wang Hongyu regarded this songbook as her own treasure, usually it is very difficult for others to take a look, but today others did not come, but the songbook remained here, Xiaohuaer will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

Flipping through the pages one by one, the songs copied on it are quite new, even the Cantonese songs that have just been popular on Hong Kong Island.

When turning to the last page, a completely unfamiliar new song catches Xiaohua'er's attention.

The Lonely Brave? The title of this song is quite fresh, and the lyrics are very long, but the simple score above has not yet been marked.

"What's the song? Still fighting? Fight! Is this a war song? This lyric is kind of interesting......"

"I love you walking alone in the dark alleys, and I love the way you don't kneel...... Who said that the one who stands in the light is the hero......" The score of the upper part of the lyrics has been marked, and I tried to hum a couple of sentences casually, don't say it, this song is quite exciting!

An unheard of song suddenly aroused Xiao Hua'er's interest, and compared with the part of the sheet music marked above, Xiao Hua'er picked up the guitar and began to deduct the unfamiliar melody little by little.

There was a knock at the door, and the knock was very strong, and Xiaohua'er shouted "Come, come!" Jumping out of bed, walking to the door in three or two steps, opening the door, looking at the stranger knocking on the door in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.

The person at the door, with a round head, a round short head, and a pair of round eyes on his round face, gave people the first impression of being so honest, and brought an inexplicable sense of joy.

How can a young man look like a potato?!

The person who knocked on the door was a little shy, and when he saw that it was a little girl, he put the artificial leather bag in his hand on the ground, and asked with a smile, speaking with a northwest accent: "Is this Yao Dahai's home?" ”

"Yao Dahai is my father, who are you?" Yao Xiaohua blinked her eyes and asked rhetorically.

……

This young man who looks like a potato is called Man Cheng, which was mentioned by Gu Changan in the night market just now, he is Yao's father's comrade-in-arms, he just retired this year, and when he heard that there was a job opportunity in Pingcheng, he ran over, wanting to try his luck in the big city.

It is said that this kind of big and far to come to other cities, the average person should find a hotel to live in, even if the economy is not very rich, should also find a cheap hotel, and spend a few dollars a day to solve the accommodation problem, but Yao Yuan's father Yao Dahai's colleagues seem to have a common problem, that is, when they come to Pingcheng, whether it is for business or private, the first choice will come to their own home to stay.

There is no one with this problem, no matter whether you know someone who carries two catties of apples, you can touch the door, and it will take a long time to live.

There is an inexplicable stranger in the house, and this feeling is really awkward.

Yao Yuan sometimes thinks that this problem may not be caused by his father's colleagues, but most of the root cause is still in his own father's own body.

I don't know what kind of psychology the old man is for, in order to save so many accommodation fees for his colleagues? Or let those borrowed colleagues be able to keep an eye on the lives of the two children at home?

Looking at the sturdy little potato in front of him, Yao Yuan guessed that the main reason why this Mancheng comrade came to stay at home was to save those few accommodation fees.

At first glance, Mancheng is the image of a retired soldier, and he is still wearing a military uniform, but the pentagram and collar badge and epaulettes have been removed, and this military uniform is obviously not new, it has been washed and slightly whitish, the elbows and knees have been worn, and a pair of rubber shoes under his feet are also a little worn, it can be seen that the economic conditions of this Mancheng should not be very good.

Yao Yuan put a bag of buns and a few tea eggs on the table that he brought back to his little sister, and motioned to Mancheng to let him pad it a little too, it is estimated that this Mancheng touched it directly as soon as he got off the train, and he must not have eaten dinner yet.

Seeing Yao Yuan coming back, Man Cheng hurriedly took out a few plastic bags from the artificial leather bag he was carrying and placed them on the table.

"This is a little specialty of my hometown, not worth a few dollars, so I brought it here and invited you to try it." Mancheng speaks with a strong Northwest accent.

Yao Yuan looked at the crumpled plastic bags on the table, and thought to himself that it was okay, this time it was better not to bring apples and watermelons.

was polite in his mouth: "Come on, come on, what else do you bring, when my father knows, he will definitely have to be anxious with you!" ”

Man Cheng smiled innocently, and the teeth under his thick lips were quite white: "What are you talking about, how can you come empty-handed for the first time, besides, these are all things produced in your own land, even if Leader Yao knows about it, he won't be angry." ”

As he spoke, he opened the plastic bag.

Yao Yuan's curiosity also rose, and he didn't know what new things this potato brother had brought from the northwest thousands of miles away.

"This is wolfberry, a specialty of my hometown; This is a lily, both of which are medicinal herbs, and they can also be eaten, and they can be used for cooking and soup. "The whole city took out the same, and introduced the same.

Don't say it, these are really the specialties of the northwest, the wolfberry is red, the particles are huge and full, and the fresh lilies with soil are fat and white like jade, and you can know at a glance that they are all good things.

Yao Yaoyuan looked at the other plastic bag a little embarrassed, and there was a mess in the plastic bag, like a clump of black hair: "Wait, Mancheng, what is this black bag?" Don't you tell me it's a fat cabbage?! ”

Man Cheng smiled: "Oh, Yao Yuan, you are quite discerning, this is one of the specialties of my hometown, hair cabbage!" ”

Hair cabbage!

Since ancient times, it has ranked first among the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and is a very precious ingredient, although this hair cabbage is only a kind of algae that grows in high-altitude arid areas, but in terms of nutritional value, its protein content is more than that of ordinary meat and eggs. In addition to protein, it is also rich in various nutrients necessary for the human body, such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron.

What's even more rare is that fat cabbage also has high medicinal value, and has a good therapeutic effect on diseases such as hypertension, phlegm asthma and even gynecological diseases.

Just because of these rare advantages, and its growth environment is harsh, the growth period is long, and it is not easy to pick, so it has always been a rare ingredient, and it is regarded as a tribute, which is difficult for the people to see, and the price is also very high.

In addition, Fa Cai is also taken by the southerners as its homonym "Fa Cai", which is often used in high-end banquets, so it is also regarded as a precious ingredient.

The hair cabbage grows in the arid and rainless desert area, where the vegetation environment is very fragile, and when people harvest the hair cabbage, it will cause irreversible damage to the vegetation environment, so as soon as it enters the 21st century, the state simply issued a ban on all the harvesting and trading of hair cabbage.

So don't look at Yao Yuan's previous life as a chef, he really hasn't had much contact with this precious ingredient.

Yes! This Mancheng, don't look inconspicuous, this big and far away brought several souvenirs are a little interesting.

Goji berries, lilies, and hair cabbage are all specialties grown in the northwest region, and the key is that they are all good materials for the homology of medicine and food, especially in this year, even fresh wolfberries and lilies are very rare in Pingcheng.

Yao Yuan said thank you in his mouth, and stretched out his hand to signal Mancheng to hurry up and eat something.

This Man Cheng was also hungry for a long time, so he quickly picked up a tea egg, peeled off the skin and stuffed it into his mouth.

But I didn't want to, I was too anxious to eat, I was choked by the egg yolk all of a sudden, and after stretching my neck and swallowing it, I hurriedly picked up the water cup in front of me and poured a few mouthfuls into my mouth to relieve my breath.

Xiaohua'er laughed out loud unkindly.

Man Cheng also laughed dryly: "This, this egg is very delicious, your big city is different, even the braised eggs are better than our base and unit." ”

Yao Yuan glared at Xiao Hua'er, this stinky sister in his family is getting worse and worse, and he has to discipline him well if he has the opportunity.

"You're looking for a job in Pingcheng this time? What do you think? Got a goal? Yao Yuan diverted the topic to ease the embarrassment of the other party.

Man Cheng nodded: "There is someone in the unit who works in the Foreign Languages Bureau, and I heard that their canteen is looking for a cook, so he introduced me to try it." ”

Cook?!

Yao Yuan looked at the person opposite in a little surprise, is it really unseemly?!

"You're a chef, then?"

Man Cheng nodded a little embarrassedly: "Well, I was a cook in my original unit." ”
