Xu Wei returned to the milk tea shop, carrying a large fleeing bag behind her back, and holding a square box wrapped in black cloth in her hands. She looked a little thin, but there was nothing special about her. She was just haggard.
, the eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes looked tired.
"Where's Brother Zhang?"
Xu Wei came to the counter and saw that the man on duty was Dahuang. He was standing behind the counter in neat clothes, whistling and frying fish. Because the range hood was not turned on, the whole room was filled with the smell of fish.
"He's going out." Dahuang took off the headphones from his ears, put a small cat fish on a plate and held it in front of Xu Wei: "Try and see my craftsmanship."
Xu Wei glanced at the messy stove, then sighed silently, returned to the backyard, put away her gifts, then placed her grandma's portrait on the table, then changed her clothes and put on her apron.
When I returned to the milk tea shop, I still had a whip in my hand.
"I beat you to death!"
Dahuang meowed and turned into a cat shape and ran away with the fish in his mouth, while Xu Wei began to squat on the ground and clean up the messy floor and stove. Dahuang jumped back and sat there eating the fish while muttering.
: "You are really ignorant, I even treated you to fish."
"Look, you've got it everywhere! You can handle it if you have the skills!"
Dahuang didn't bother to pay attention to her, just licked his paws and continued to eat fish.
Xu Wei finally restored the mess to normal. She put her hands on her hips and looked at the shiny stoves and countertops around her, as if she had accomplished something extraordinary, and she was filled with a sense of accomplishment and security.
"Next time you mess around again, I'll be really angry." Xu Wei looked at Dahuang who was licking his paws: "Brother Zhang loves clean people so much, why did you end up like this?"
"Just pack it up. You talk a lot." Dahuang jumped onto the ceiling fan with the remaining half of the fish in his mouth: "Speaking of it, you have only been back for less than half a month, so you came very quickly."
Xu Wei said oh, sat down, opened the refrigerator door, took out the ingredients for the night and put them in the sink to defrost, and then replied: "After settling grandma's funeral affairs and renting out the old house, I will
I'm back. Except for sweeping graves, I never have to go back. I no longer have a home there."
Dahuang sat on the ceiling fan and looked at her, and then suddenly asked: "Didn't you bring some specialties?"
"I brought you a lot of Shandong pancakes, do you want to eat them?" Xu Wei walked back and took out a large bag of large pancakes, with various flavors, and even red dates: "Do you want to eat them?"
"roll!"
Dahuang cursed, then sat down to continue eating fish, while Xu Wei calmly put the pancakes in the refrigerator and took out a large piece of pork belly with good quality. She skillfully picked up the kitchen knife and started
Cook, then raised his head and said to Dahuang: "Do me a favor, go and write down today's main dish, braised pork, on the blackboard outside."
"Braised pork, so good."
Dahuang jumped down and turned into a human, picked up a pen and walked outside, writing on the small blackboard that tonight's main dish was braised pork, as well as the name of the chef.
The aroma soon wafted out of the big pot. Although it didn't have the special feeling of a firewood stove, the aroma of meat also permeated the entire small canteen. Xu Wei had already fully enjoyed it when Brother Zhang was not here.
She looks like a chef, and her braised pork is even at a level not inferior to that of Brother Zhang. She even waits there early every year with her small bowl.
"It smells good." The door outside was opened, and Mrs. Bai followed the scent. She sat in front of the counter and pointed to the wine shelf above: "A bottle of Shaoxing Huang. How do you sell this braised pork? Come and have some.
Let’s have another serving of rice.”
Xu Wei gave him a large bowl of meat and a bowl of rice, then took a bottle of wine and pointed to the piece of paper in front of which the code was scanned: "Forty pieces of meat, forty-five pieces of wine, and two pieces of rice."
"It's quite cheap." After scanning the code, Mrs. Bai sat down and ate in small bites. After two bites, she praised: "Well, this tastes very good. Where did you learn the craftsmanship? It's good."
Xu Wei just smiled and said: "The old man at home taught me."
"Yeah, okay."
After that, people started to come here one after another attracted by the rich aroma of meat. Although braised pork is rarely served as the main dish here, this time it was really popular. A bowl of meat and a bowl of rice, and you can also add another bottle.
Ice drinks bring the taste of life to you.
Although Xu Wei stewed it for three whole pots, the supply was still in short supply at the end. Many people who ate here would pack a portion back to eat the next day. Although Xu Wei was busy, her heart felt more peaceful and fulfilling than ever before.
"Speaking of which, little sister, do you know where there is a store like this for rent in this area? I want to open a herbal tea shop and buy some Chinese medicinal materials." The white lady suddenly said to Xu Wei: "I think this place is quite good.
of."
Xu Wei pointed to a customer not far away: "Go and ask him, he is the intermediary in this area."
The White Snake said something quiet and walked over to chat with the person Xu Wei introduced.
At this time, Mr. Pi walked in swaggering, swinging the keychain of a cashmere toy. As soon as he saw Xu Wei, he jumped over and ran over: "Eat chicken, eat chicken, give me a chicken."
"No today... Brother Zhang is gone somewhere, how about I bring you a piece of braised pork."
Mr. Pi groaned and felt her tail drooping: "Okay then, let's have braised pork."
But after she ate the braised pork, her invisible tails swayed again, and even her whole body swayed left and right. But Mr. Pi didn't like rice, so after eating two bowls of meat
There was a big bowl of rice left.
"Don't waste food." Xu Wei said, "Brother Zhang will be unhappy."
"I've spent money on it, so if you don't want to eat it, I won't eat it." Pi Ye said sternly, and she glanced at the rice with disgust: "I won't eat it! Whoever likes it will eat it."
And just after she said this, the welcoming bell rang at the door, and Brother Zhang came in from outside. When he saw it, Master Pi quickly poured the gravy in the bowl on the rice, and it was a big bowl full.
Go down.
"came back."
Brother Zhang didn't show any surprise when he saw Xu Wei inside. He just said hello softly, then walked aside to wash his hands and change his apron, and then walked to the counter.
He first picked up the pieces of meat in the pot with a big spoon, then picked up a piece with chopsticks and ate a piece. After tasting it slowly, he smiled and said to Xu Wei, "You made it?"
"Um……"
"It's very good." Brother Zhang nodded and said, "It just needs to be kept overnight. It will taste better if you eat it at lunch tomorrow."
Xu Wei was encouraged and nodded hurriedly: "You can do more tomorrow."
Brother Zhang nodded, then took a bowl of rice from the oversized rice cooker, then directly covered it with two spoons of braised pork soup, sat there and started eating. Soon after the bowl of rice was finished, he pushed the bowl away
In the dishwasher: "It's not very healthy, but it's really delicious."
Xu Wei walked to the side to make way for Brother Zhang, and then asked in a low voice: "Are you very busy these days?"
"It's okay, just making movies." Brother Zhang shook his head helplessly: "That director is very troublesome and has a lot of requirements."
"Then you don't have to go."
Brother Zhang thought for a while: "It's quite fun."
Xu Wei didn't ask any more questions. Brother Zhang, money can't buy his willingness. As long as he wants to do something, no one can say it. He is different from ordinary people. You can never use ordinary people's thinking to measure his logic.
, he thinks it’s fun, then that’s no problem, after all, it doesn’t delay anything for him.
"Is it better?" Brother Zhang asked suddenly: "Brothertosaurus told me before that he wanted me to stay there for a few more days. He said he wouldn't be able to get back for a while."
Xu Wei nodded repeatedly: "It's much better. Grandma was very peaceful when she left. There was no pain."
"That's good."
"But..." Xu Wei raised her head and wanted to ask her master about Thunder Dragon. After all, Thunder Dragon hurried back after telling her that he didn't know where Brother Zhang was.
But after thinking about it, she felt that there was no need to ask, so she quickly shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Brother Zhang, thank you."
"Yeah." Brother Zhang nodded, and then started to take the chicken out of the refrigerator.
Pi Ye was immediately ecstatic.
And Xu Wei sat there and watched Master Pi teasing with Brother Zhang while she smiled softly. Of course she couldn't ask Master why he lied, otherwise he would definitely say that he was worried about Brother Zhang's treasure.
It's in the hands of demons and heretics, so it's better to understand some things in your own mind.
In fact, during this journey home, Xu Wei's state of mind was completely different. It was just like Huahua said, this was a mental disaster. After getting over it, her heart became calm.
There are no more thoughts and desires.
This world is nothing more than these things. Yesterday, bones were buried in the loess, and tonight there are mandarin ducks sleeping under the red light tents. The feasting and feasting are really not as leisurely as in this world.
I want flowers in the world, plum blossoms in the backyard in February, cherry blossoms in April, weaving grapes in July, and the fragrance of osmanthus in August. I want the coolness of autumn, the fragrance of flowers outside the small window, the chirping of birds, and the familiar faces of everyone coming and going.
No fighting, no grabbing, no slander or slander.
No wonder Thunder Dragon told him that the best place to practice in the world is not in the mountains, but in a quiet place amidst the chaos, where you can see all kinds of things in the world and experience the clarity of Taoism.
Of course, Xu Wei is still far away from this realm of transparency, and now she has only just touched the edge.
And just as the small canteen was entertaining guests as usual late at night, a crisp sound of metal collision suddenly came from Chang'an Alley outside. Brother Zhang raised his head and looked at it, and then continued working.
Until the welcoming bell at the door rang again, and then a monk in green clothes walked in. He was wearing a bamboo hat on his head and holding a Zen staff in his hand. The metal collision sound just now came from his Zen staff, and in his hand
The purple golden bowl does seem to have some weight.
He couldn't see his face at a glance, but the white lady had already hid aside and shivered when she saw this outfit. Many inhumans in the room also showed obvious hostility. Generally speaking, this monk just looked at him.
Not very popular.
But he obviously didn't realize it. He raised his head and glanced around the people in the room, then slowly came to the counter, placed the purple gold bowl on the table, and whispered: "Donor, I'm here to ask for alms."
Brother Zhang carried a ladle full of braised pork into his purple bowl.
The atmosphere in the whole shop became relaxed all of a sudden, and laughter broke out one after another. Even Mr. Pi laughed happily, but the monk didn't care at all. He just took off his bamboo hat and exposed his shiny little head.
With a bald head, he started to wander around the store with a purple-gold bowl. When he saw the unfinished rice on the table, he poured it into his own purple-gold bowl. After he had collected a bowl of rice, he took out his chopsticks and mixed the leftover rice with the rice.
The braised pork was mixed together, and then he ate it with big mouthfuls.
"Holding grass, so handsome..."
Master Pi pulled Xu Wei's sleeve, pointed to the monk in a low voice and said to Xu Wei. Xu Wei looked up and saw that this monk was really handsome, with thin cheeks, a high nose, and deep eyes. He was eating.
The movement of his masseter muscles makes him look very tough and handsome. There is also a red birthmark in the center of his eyebrows, which makes him look very energetic.
"So handsome..." Xu Wei was also stunned for a moment.
I have to say, before this group of girls sat together and selected the first place for good looks, Brontosaurus, the second place was Brother Zhang, and the third place was Pony. But now the top three have to be postponed one step further.
The first place is definitely this monk.
Although his otherworldly abstinence system conflicts with Xiao Zhang's personality, Xiao Zhang is more fairy-like than him. But he is more violent than Xiao Zhang, and this fierceness has
The result is that Brother Zhang looks easy to bully at first glance, and this monk is a domineering president.
The monk finished his meal, and even a grain of rice that fell from the bottom of the purple bowl was wiped into his mouth. After eating, he did not speak, and just stared at Brother Zhang who was frying eggs.
"Emotional drama, emotional drama!" Mr. Pi pulled Xu Wei excitedly: "There is an emotional drama! Immortal Qi Attack and Overbearing Shou...exciting, exciting, exciting!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Zhang raised his hand for frying eggs, picked up the spatula and hit Master Pi on the head.
"Ah..." Mr. Pi covered his head and rolled on the ground: "My head, my head..."
At this time, the monk also stood up, raised his chin and looked at Brother Zhang. The application was actually a bit provocative. Brother Zhang raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then he also picked up the spatula and started eating.
onto his head.
"Ah..." The monk covered his head and started rolling on the ground, and even bumped into Master Pi: "My head, my head..."
Seeing this scene, everyone in the canteen who had been holding their breath all made a sound.
"That's it?" White Snake asked, "What did I think it was?"
There was a big bump on the monk's head that was visible to the naked eye. It looked like a bee sting. It was red and it looked very funny...
But he quickly stood up again, covered his head and said: "The rooster...the rooster has returned..."
