Chapter 407: The long-lost vegetable market
Early the next morning.
White clouds and the morning sun dot the eastern sky.
Dim and quiet room.
Lu You woke up from his dream and slowly opened his eyes.
After his consciousness was completely restored, Lu You reached out and groped on the bedside table for a while, and after a while, he held the mobile phone in his hand.
Press the lock screen button on the edge of your phone.
The sudden light made Lu You subconsciously squint his eyes.
【6:42】
After seeing the time clearly, Lu You muttered to himself, "I woke up a little early today!" ”
According to the normal biological clock, Lu You's wake-up time should be between seven and half past seven.
Maybe it was because last night's battle took too much energy, so it took me to go to bed earlier, so I got up a little bit the next day.
"Forget it, I don't want to, go wash first."
Lu You has never had the habit of sleeping back to sleep, and when he wakes up, he wakes up.
Taking away the arm pressed on his chest, and then helping Tang Wan fold the quilt, Lu You got up and got out of bed, put on his slippers, and walked into the bathroom lightly.
Ten minutes later.
Lu You returned to the bed in good spirits.
Looking at Tang Wan, who was sleeping peacefully, the idea of calling her to accompany her to the vegetable market dissipated little by little.
Weekends are supposed to be resting time, not to mention that Tang Wan did her best to be a good puff last night, so there is no need to disturb her sweet dreams.
Thinking of this, Lu You bent down in front of Tang Wan and kissed her on the cheek.
Regardless of whether Tang Wan could hear it or not, she said to herself: "I went out to buy vegetables, and I called me if I had something." ”
Tang Wan shrunk into the quilt and slept extremely sweetly.
……
Lu You took the elevator down to the underground parking lot on the first floor.
According to the parking space information left by Su Huaiyu and the instructions of the road signs above his head, Lu You successfully found his car.
The iconic blue sky and white cloud LOGO, kidney grille, sharp angel eye headlights, and very dynamic body lines.
All show the high-end style of the car.
The only drawback is that it has been parked for a while, and the body and glass are covered with a thin layer of dust.
"I've wronged you, I'll ask someone to take you to the 4S shop for maintenance at night."
Lu You sat in the driver's seat, briefly familiarized himself with the basic operation, stepped on the accelerator, and left quickly.
About a quarter of an hour.
Arrive at the nearest wet market.
Lu You parked the car in the parking lot next to him, then put his hands in his pockets and walked in leisurely.
Since the last time he visited the vegetable market, Lu You can't remember exactly when it happened, it seems that it was the first two or three days that he had just crossed over.
At that time, he was just a short boy of less than 1.6 meters, and he didn't have a girlfriend like Tang Wan.
With nostalgia, Lu You walked slowly all the way, and when he met someone who was interested, he stopped and asked about the price, and left after asking, never dragging his feet.
After all, no one rules that if you ask for a price, you must pay for it.
However, not long after shopping, Lu You's interest slipped at a rapid speed until it reached zero.
Wet markets are different from supermarkets.
All kinds of raw meat, fresh fish, and vegetables are all placed on the table without concealment, and the smell emitted is mixed together, which is not too sour.
Especially in the poultry area, there is not only the excrement of chickens, ducks, geese and pigeons, but also the fishy smell caused by the use of hot water to remove the feathers of the poultry.
The two have joined forces, complemented each other, and created a terrifying field.
Far away, Lu You could feel the amazing might.
After stopping at the intersection and looking at it for a moment, Lu You decisively chose to turn back.
Since you have lost interest, it is better to buy all the things early and go home to hug your girlfriend.
After walking a few steps, Lu You found that there was a stall selling raw meat in front of him, surrounded by several uncles and aunts, and the business looked very good.
After thinking for a while, Lu You leaned over.
The uncles and aunts may not have enough waist and joints, but their vision for buying vegetables in the vegetable market is absolutely first-class.
The vendors who can be favored by them are basically not far behind.
Lu You squeezed into the crowd and glanced at the countertop and the hanging hook.
From the analysis of the color of the meat and the size of the skeleton, it is not difficult to see that this stall specializes in beef.
"Boss, how do you sell beef?"
The burly boss is holding a bone chopping knife in his hand, slashing at a large bone on the cutting board.
Hearing someone shouting, he immediately looked up.
The moment he saw Lu You, he raised his eyebrows, his expression was very surprised.
Those who come to buy vegetables early in the morning are either uncles or aunts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that young people like Lu You are rare.
The boss's hand holding the knife swung violently, and a small section of the tail blade of the bone cleaver was embedded in the cutting board.
The whole knife uses this as a fulcrum and stands firmly on the cutting board.
The boss had a warm smile on his rough face, and he said familiarly: "Little brother, the face is very raw!" First time? ”
"Hmm."
Lu You nodded and didn't say much.
It has long been his habit to be wary and distance from strangers.
The boss didn't care about Lu You's coldness, he still maintained his enthusiasm, and said: "My beef here, different parts have different prices, the expensive ones start at forty per catty, and the ones with bones are much cheaper, depending on which one you want." ”
Lu You fell into deep thought.
Compared to pork, beef has more options.
Especially when used in hot pot, almost every part can be eaten, and the flavor is different.
The famous Chaoshan beef hot pot takes this to the extreme.
With the simplest soup base and local sand tea sauce, customers can enjoy the original texture and taste of beef.
Since there were a few uncles and aunts next to him, Lu You didn't think about it for long.
"Do you have a hairy belly or a money belly to sell?"
The boss grinned with a mouthful of jagged yellow teeth and replied: "Little brother, as soon as I heard this, I knew that you definitely don't come to the vegetable market often to buy vegetables!" Am I right? ”
Lu You didn't deny it, and asked rhetorically: "Why do you say that?" ”
"Cow heads, oxtails, and cow offal are all sought-after goods, and they will basically be taken before entering the vegetable market, and it is difficult to buy them if you don't book a few days in advance."
"That's it!"
Lu You secretly said that it was a pity.
Although you can buy hairy tripe at the supermarket, it is all frozen and not fresh enough.
"If you really want it, let's add a VX, and I'll ask someone to keep one for you in a few days."
"No need, thank you boss."
There is no such thing as good intentions for no reason.
If someone else helps, it is equivalent to owing someone a favor.
Lu You is not familiar with the boss, and the field he is engaged in has nothing to do with each other, so there is no need to add a cause and effect.
"Okay!"
The boss doesn't force it either.
Business, the only thing to pay attention to is to go with the flow.
If you have to do it, you have to do it, and if you don't have to do it, you can calm down and wait for the next time.
"Do you want anything else?" The boss asked.
"Do you still have a cow brain?"
"Wait a minute, I'll look for it."
The boss's eyes swept the countertop like a scanner.
After a while, the boss's gaze was fixed on somewhere.
"There it is!"
The boss grabbed a calf-sized piece of meat with marbled cross-section and presented it to Lu You.
"There are four or five pounds left, how much do you want?"
"A pound will do."
"Okay."
The boss puts the piece of meat on another cutting board with a neater surface, picks up the cleaver and neatly cuts off a piece of meat, and then places it on the scale.
"No more, no less, just one pound."
The boss's expression looked a little dumbfounded.
Lu You took out his mobile phone and scanned the payment code.
"How much?"
"New guest, give you some discounts, wipe zero, and charge you fifty."
Lu You was too lazy to bargain and paid decisively.
Two or three pieces, it doesn't hurt him to lose it or not.
[VX to the account of fifty yuan. 】
"Thank you for your patronage!"
The smile on the boss's face grew more and more eager.
"By the way, do you need my help slicing? I don't charge you money. ”
"And this kind of service?" Lu You was surprised.
"Hey! If there is demand, there is a market, and many young people come to buy meat and call it cut. ”
Free service, don't be in vain.
Lu You immediately replied: "Then cut it!" It's better to cut thin slices and use them for shabu-shabu. ”
"No problem."
I have to say that the boss's knife skills are really good, and the knives used are really sharp.
Every time the knife falls, you can cut a slice of meat as thin as a cicada's wings, and there is no sticking at all.
After some unpretentious operation.
The boss handed the bag containing the beef to Lu You.
"Welcome to the next time."
"Yes."
Lu You took the bag and nodded.
The next half hour.
Lu You walked around the vegetable market except for the poultry area, bought all the ingredients and seasonings he wanted to buy, and then drove home.
……
About 8:15.
Lu You carried two big bags and pushed open the door.
"I'm back!"
Originally, Lu You was ready for no one to respond, but he didn't expect Tang Wan's voice to come from the living room.
"Coming back? Do you have breakfast with me? ”
Lu You raised his head and glanced at the living room.
I saw Tang Wan wearing loose pajamas, lazily half-lying on the chaise longue and playing with her mobile phone.
The collar cascades down, revealing delicate collarbones and large swaths of snow white.
"You didn't sleep until ten o'clock on the weekend, it's rare!" Lu You was surprised.
"It was before, now is now, people will change!"
Lu You put two large bags on the dining table and walked into the living room alone with a small bag.
"Here, your breakfast is still hot."
Tang Wan poked her head out from behind her phone and asked, "What's there?" ”
"See for yourself!"
"Okay."
Tang Wan put her mobile phone on the coffee table with her backhand, got up and took the bag, and tore open the bag to look inside.
There are four things in total, 200ml of soy milk, a brown tea egg, a bag of steamed dumplings, and two small white buns.
"That's all?"
"What, you're still not satisfied?"
Tang Wan hugged Lu You, raised her little face and said, "Satisfied, very satisfied!" But it would be even better if you could drink a bowl of hot multigrain porridge! ”
"You!"
Lu You pinched Tang Wan's nose and smiled helplessly: "Tomorrow!" I'm going to buy groceries today, and I'll make it for you tomorrow morning. ”
"Thank you, husband, it's good to have you!"
"Alright."
Lu You pushed Tang Wan away and said, "Eat breakfast quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold later." ”
"Okay!"
Tang Wan put a straw on the soy milk, picked up the white bun and took a bite.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Lu You thought about going to the kitchen to deal with the ingredients he bought.
As soon as she turned around, Tang Wan grabbed the hem of his coat and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Where else can I go to wash the vegetables?" Lu You said as a matter of course.
"In a hurry?"
"I'm not in a hurry, I have plenty of time."
"Then accompany me to breakfast, and I'll help you wash the vegetables when you're done."
"Okay."
Lu You lifted his pants and sat next to Tang Wan.
In the next second, Tang Wan stood up again and sat on Lu You's lap.
The soft touch and a faint fragrance made Lu You's blood gradually converge.
"Aifei, it's easy for you to get off the hook."
"If you go out of the fire, you will go out of the fire!"
Tang Wan sucked the soy milk and said indifferently: "It's a big deal, get an injection, and practice in the morning." ”
"You want to get an injection, I don't want to get an injection."
Lu You hugged Tang Wan's waist, moved back quietly, and said, "I was tired enough last night, I have to rest." ”
"Okay, if you can't, you can't, what does it mean to take a break?"
Lu You pretended not to hear, and reached into Tang Wan's clothes with his right hand, stroking her soft little belly.
The girlfriend still has to find someone with meat, so that it won't be awkward to the touch.
"By the way, what time did you wake up?"
"I don't remember, anyway, it was half past seven when I came out after washing."
Lu You's gaze inadvertently swept over Tang Wan's phone with the back facing the sky, always feeling a little weird, but he couldn't tell where it was.
After thinking about it again, I had to give up.
Tang Wan relaxed her body and leaned back, her entire back pressed against Lu You's chest.
"Husband, you drove a BMW to buy groceries, have you been accosted?"
Lu You scratched Tang Wan's chin like a kitten, and said with a smile: "Are you looking at the post here?" ”
"I don't deny it." Tang Wan said calmly.
"Don't worry!"
Lu You rested his chin on Tang Wan's shoulder, kissed her cheek, and replied, "In the vegetable market in the morning, except for the uncle and aunt, they will not be interested in me." ”
"I can't say for sure, what if they match their own children?"
Lu You vaguely guessed the deep meaning of Tang Wan's words, and asked rhetorically, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"Simple, take me with you next time you go to the vegetable market, don't leave me home alone."
"What if you're sleeping?"
"Just wake me up."
"Guaranteed not to start bed gas?"
"I promise."
Lu You took out his mobile phone and brought it to Tang Wan's mouth, and turned on the recording function.
"Please repeat, I'll collect evidence."
The corners of Tang Wan's mouth twitched, and she said, "You're too much!" ”
Lu You straightened his face and said seriously: "It's not too much at all, this is called taking precautions." ”
After hesitating for a while, Tang Wan finally handed over the handle.
"I, Tang Wan, after being woken up by Lu You, promise not to get angry."
Lu You quickly pressed the pause button and smiled with satisfaction.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
