Chapter 4 Becoming Familiar
"Gurgling ......"
The steamed bun woke up and fell asleep for a while, and when he woke up, he made all kinds of unclear sounds behind Bai Xiaoxin's back, while grabbing Bai Xiaoxin's long hair, Bai Xiaoxin squatted, leaning back rhythmically with the power of the steamed bun, which was regarded as playing with her, adding firewood to the stove with both hands.
"The fire is small, don't add too much firewood at one time, it's too expensive. ”
Kitchen Zhang on the opposite side was flipping the pot, and the fragrance of oil emanated from it.
Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxin touched two blackened matches and came out.
"Ah~~ sneeze-" The steamed bun shook and the two spirits sneezed twice in a row.
"Niu San sent the lotus root over, wash the lotus root, remember, how thin and thin you can cut, move quickly, Niu San, go to the ice cellar to get the ice cubes out. ”
When Bai Xiaoxin heard this, he washed his hands in the basin, dipped some water and wiped the steamed buns behind him, and then took out the muddy lotus root in a basket of bamboo baskets, scooped water from the tank, rubbed it and washed it.
"Huh?" Mantou was restless by the sudden coolness on her nose, she shrugged her nose gently, stretched out her little hand and scratched her nose, and then screamed and writhed behind Bai Xiaoxin's back, probably wanting to come back a few more times.
"Lao Zhao, what do you think, how long will this Lin Mo be able to fight with this chef?"
It was Xiao Er who was talking to Bai Xiaoxin in the morning, and after observing for a few days, he felt that there was a bit of a cat between Zhang Chu and the new deputy, so he felt that the opportunity to be a dealer a few times had come again.
"It's hard to say. ”
A chef is idle, and the dishes he is in charge of are popular with most people in the evening, and it is the afternoon when he is idle, and he can only give some good cooks to help him, or pick vegetables and pick things from time to time.
"What's hard to say, isn't it quite obvious?" Xiao Er stretched out his tail and pointed at Bai Xiaoxin, who was squatting, "I don't think that chef is still yelling at five and six?"
"Tsk, you don't stay in the house all day, can Lao Zhang look like Li Ren when he yells at that kid?"
"Yo, it seems that Chef Zhao knows a lot?" Xiao Er squeezed his eyebrows, reached out and rubbed his fingers, "Then give me some news?"
"Get out!" Chef Zhao took out a dish and put it on the table, and said angrily, "Hurry up and send your dishes, you will know that you are worried about my few taels of silver if you don't have any work all day!"
"Cheng Chengcheng, Lao Zhao, you have to pull me, don't I have your share if I get it?" Xiao Er picked up the dishes and grabbed a pot of wine and put it on the wooden plate, blinked his eyes and looked at Bai Xiaoxin, but unfortunately he didn't see the child's beautiful little face, so he was about to leave.
Here, Bai Xiaoxin's hand fell, and a messy stack of thin slices of lotus root quickly rested in the empty space in front of Chef Zhang.
Chef Zhang shook the pot, and was just about to tell Lin Mo not to be lazy, when he saw Bai Xiaoxin, who had messy hair, returned to the opposite of him, and squatted down again to stare at the fire.
Chef Zhang's half-open mouth quickly closed, and his gaze returned to his pot.
So, rarely, Chef Liu's Hedong lion roar replaced Chef Zhang, who had the loudest voice and the most scolding mouth in the house on weekdays.
Chef Zhang and Bai Xiaoxin are cooking like this, and the other is staring at the fire to cut vegetables and hand them over, although the two have not communicated much, they seem to have been partners for a long time.
Lunch
Bai Xiaoxin sat under a tree in the courtyard, holding some rice porridge, crushing the rice in the bowl with a spoon, and feeding the steamed buns little by little with the soup.
"Ahh
The steamed bun shook his head, struggled his body, and his mouth was tightened, refusing to let Bai Xiaoxin feed the porridge.
"Mantou, obedient. ”
Bai Xiaoxin pinched the small spoon and frowned, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down his nose. 652 Literature Network
I don't know why it's getting harder and harder to feed steamed buns these days.
"How did you become a father?"
The sound of the urn and the sound of the urn came from the front, and the steamed bun stopped struggling when he heard this, humming, and tilting his head sideways to obey.
"Forget it about eating steamed buns all day long, do you let children eat porridge all day long? If you don't let her get tired of dying, you will starve to death, what about the child? Find her to breastfeed!"
"Niangniang, huh?" Mantou heard a few familiar words, and suddenly shouted with excitement.
Bai Xiaoxin looked up, it was the fat man.
"Tired of dying?" Putting the porridge aside, Bai Xiaoxin stood up.
"No, let me ask you what about your child?" Zhang Chef jumped when he heard this, this person couldn't understand the words, didn't he?
"Dead. ”。
"......" Chef Zhang didn't expect this answer, and his mouth was half open.
"What do you mean, tired to death?" Bai Xiaoxin pointed to the clear water and white porridge that was resting on the ground.
"Children can't eat this all day long," the disdain on Chef Zhang's face was a little lowered, but he still said in a loud voice, "Not to mention that I can't grow my body, I'm afraid I won't even be able to walk when the time comes." ”
"......" Bai Xiaoxin then looked down at the babbling steamed buns.
"I have some leftover vegetables and meat foam in the house, add some to the porridge. Chef Zhang quickly came back to his senses and lowered his voice, "Clean your hands and feet, if you dare to steal anything else, I will cripple you first." ”
"Oh. Bai Xiaoxin said, looking at the pot-bellied Zhang Chu, turned around and left, lowering his head again.
"The square bottle next door is also fragrant, but it's a pity that I'm a step too late. ”
"Alas, who said it wasn't? I grabbed one yesterday, and I didn't have it today, and I'm afraid that you will squat in the adult's house all day long to settle accounts, and the head of Jinlai Pavilion also said that for the sake of fairness, each person is limited to one copy, and the food must be reported on the same day, and it is not allowed to buy in advance. ”
"That's really a pity, it seems that before the Tang Kingdom lifted the lockdown, I didn't have this blessing to taste. ”
Similar words echoed in Su Ling's ears, and she slowly made her way through the crowd to the backyard, where she rarely appeared at the back door of Jinlai Pavilion.
At the back door, Bai Xiaoxin was carrying a bamboo basket and a steamed bun hanging from his chest.
"Be careful on the road. Su Ling instructed softly, then lifted the lid of the bamboo basket behind Bai Xiaoxin, and put the packaged dry food into the bamboo basket behind Bai Xiaoxin.
Bai Xiaoxin lowered his eyes and looked at the steamed buns, as before, there was no reaction.
"This Tang State closed the customs, which is different from the previous two times. Su Ling carefully continued to advise, "Herbs are important, so are you, if it is not necessary, don't have a conflict, I have inquired, the army of the Tang Kingdom has always been strict in military discipline, unlike our army, they do not kill people easily, so if you really meet them, unless necessary, try to talk as little as possible......"
Su Ling crossed his fingers and hung his head and chattered, and when he looked up again, he crashed into those very familiar eyes, and for a while, the rest of the words, under the gaze of those eyes, could no longer be spoken.
"I see. Bai Xiaoxin nodded.
Su Ling stared blankly at the not generous back that slowly disappeared at the end of the alleyway.
"Come back early. ”
The low voice disappeared into the scorching summer wind......
