Back in the car, Zhang Tan drove. It was up to him to decide where to eat at noon. The children had no objection, and Huang Liangliang also gave him full authority.
"Put down your bag. You don't have to carry it when you're sitting in the car." Huang Meibai said to the two children behind her.
After getting in the car, the two people had been carrying their bags, putting their little feet on the chairs, and whispering to each other enthusiastically.
Today is a very special day for them.
After listening to Huang Liangliang's words, the two of them put down their bags, and Xiaobai lay beside the car window, looking outside intently with his big eyes.
"Xiaobai, what are you looking at?" Xiaomi asked curiously when she saw that Xiaobai suddenly stopped talking to her and looked out the window attentively. At the same time, she also looked out the car window. There was nothing special.
Xiaobai pointed to a building outside the car window and said excitedly to Xiaomi: "Look, it's such a tall building, it's as high as the sky."
Xiaomi looked at it and nodded in agreement, but he didn't feel excited. In Pujiang, the most indispensable thing is high-rise buildings.
Xiaomi yawned, leaned back in her seat, squinted her eyes, and began to take a nap. She felt sleepy.
Xiaobai excitedly turned around to talk to her, wanting to share the large cartoon sculpture outside, but seeing that she was sleepy, he held back his words, turned his head, and continued to stare closely at the world outside.
This colorful world.
High-rise buildings, shops, and people walking around, a prosperous and unfamiliar world unfolded before her eyes, which fascinated her.
Huang Liangliang saw this and asked her: "Has Xiaobai ever come out to play?"
Xiaobai shook his head, said nothing, and continued to stare outside.
Huang Liangliang asked again: "Let your aunt take you out to play on the weekend."
"Auntie wants to work to make money." Xiaobai said without looking back.
"Do you have to work on weekends?" Huang Liangliang asked doubtfully.
Zhang Tan, who was driving, stared at her. Although he said nothing, his eyes told her not to ask further questions.
Huang Liangliang moved her lips silently and made a sound.
"Sister, don't you make money on weekends?" Xiaobai asked.
Huang Liangliang replied: "Every weekend is a day off. Just like today, these uncles and aunts are resting at home and don't have to go to work, so they have time to participate in our activities."
"What?" Xiaobai asked in surprise, confusion written all over his face.
Huang Liangliang liked hearing her talk about Trump very much. He was so cute and cute. She smiled and said, "Everyone rests at home on weekends. Don't you know?"
Xiaobai shook his head in confusion.
Huang Liangliang added: "Haven't you noticed that on weekends, many children don't come to Little Red Horse Academy at night? That's because their parents don't have to go to work that day and can take them to play."
Xiaobai shook her head and nodded again. She remembered that there were always days when there would be far fewer children in the academy. Sometimes Liliu and Cheng Cheng would not come, and even Xiaomi around them would be absent.
She tilted her head and thought hard. It seemed that every child she knew would sometimes not come to the academy. Some children even didn't come once and never came again. She had seen several children leave without saying goodbye.
Good friend, every time, she would be sad for several days.
She didn't know that real farewell never meant goodbye, it was always goodbye without saying goodbye.
Xiaobai held his little head in his hands and thought blankly for a while, forgetting to look at the scenery outside the window.
She thought about it, there were so many children in the academy, but it seemed that only she and Luo Zikang came every day.
She has been attending Little Red Pony Academy for half a year, which is not a long time, but she is one of the children who has stayed there the longest.
The staff turnover at Little Red Horse Academy is very high, and the fees here are also collected on a weekly basis. Children who come for one week may not come the next week.
Seeing that Xiaobai was dazed and dazed, Huang Liangliang asked with concern: "Xiaobai, what's wrong with you? Do you want to sleep?"
Xiaobai looked up at her, his big eyes a little dazed. After looking for a while, he gradually focused and said, "My aunt is working so hard."
In her mind, her uncle and aunt had to work every day and also on weekends. Although she didn't understand what weekend meant, she thought it was Monday and Tuesday, not a day off.
Because her uncle and aunt work every day, they naturally have no time to take her out to play. Since arriving in the international metropolis of Pujiang at the beginning of the year, she has lived a life of two points and one line, going back and forth between the rental house and the school.
During the day, she was playing alone in a rental house. In the evening, she watched the sun slip away from her home. The sun outside the window set, and people began to pass by outside the door. There were voices... She knew that the neighbor's adult had gone home.
Her uncle and aunt are also coming back soon.
And she was preparing to go to Little Red Horse Academy. This was her happiest time. She had packed her little schoolbag at noon, and checked it countless times. She could count the pages of several picture books in it.
Xiaobai sat back on the seat, looking blankly at the children's sippy cup in her hand. She had no intention of looking at the scenery outside the car window, and she didn't pay attention to Huang Liangliang who was talking to her. She looked full of thoughts.
Zhang Tan quickly noticed the change in Xiaobai's mood, drove into the reserved restaurant, stopped the car and said, "Okay, we're here, ready to eat."
He opened the back door of the car and saw Xiaomi sleeping, so he gently carried her out of the car. Xiaomi woke up in his arms.
On the other side, Huang Liangliang also wanted to carry Xiaobai down, but the child refused to let her go. She pushed her hand away and climbed down by herself.
This restaurant serves authentic Pujiang cuisine. When I asked the two children what they wanted to eat, they both shook their heads and asked Huang Meili to order.
Huang Liangliang is not only good at playing chess, she is also good at eating. Her plump and juicy figure was shaped in major restaurants.
Xiaobai looked at the dishes on the table and sighed: "There are so many dishes."
She has never eaten so many dishes. Every morning, she eats the steamed buns, eggs or noodles that her aunt left for her. For lunch, she eats the leftovers from the morning. Only in the evening will they be richer, and her aunt will fry two or three vegetables.
Her uncle would bring out his peanuts and a bottle of beer, and drink them with gusto. He would often tease her and pour her wine.
She only drank it once, and when she took a sip, it tasted terrible. Her whole little face wrinkled with disgust. She stood up, cursed, and threw the plastic cup against the wall. Her aunt scolded her uncle, who laughed.
, God poked.
Because of this, when she went to Zhang Tan's house as a guest, and saw Zhang Tan's sumptuous dinner, drinks and fruits, she would say, "Treat yourself well."
Zhang Tan said: "There are many of us. Come, have a bowl of soup before eating, and I will serve it to you."
He picked up Xiaobai's small bowl and filled her with a bowl of pickled fresh food. He stirred the soup with the spoon, and the aroma spread out, and the children's stomachs growled.
Xiaobai covered his belly and laughed sheepishly.
She had breakfast very early and was hungry now.
Zhang Tan filled a bowl for Xiaobai, placed it in front of her, and filled another bowl for Xiaomi.
Xiaobai lowered his head and looked at the bowl of soup curiously, and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Pickled Duxian is a local Pujiang dish and a very representative stew.
Du, in Wu Nong's soft language, means stew, boil, or soup. Pickled refers to pickled bacon, and xian refers to fresh meat.
Marinated pork is stewed with fresh meat.
Both bacon and fresh meat are lean meats with fat, and some of them are ribs. Today, I specially told you to serve lean meat with fat, because children can't bite the ribs.
The pickled food served to Xiaobai and Xiaomi included both meat and bamboo shoots.
There are large and small pieces of meat, large pieces of bacon and small pieces of fresh meat, both are particular.
Bamboo shoots are spring bamboo shoots. They cannot be changed. If they are replaced with other ingredients, they cannot be called pickled bamboo shoots.
There is no spring bamboo shoots in the name of the dish, but in fact this is the soul of this dish. The spring bamboo shoots are light and tender, which just balances the saltiness of the bacon and the smoke of the fresh meat.
Pickled fresh food is a home-cooked dish of Pujiang locals. Every family makes it, and each family makes it differently. In addition to the above three main ingredients, there are also other ingredients such as lettuce, louver knots, etc.
Zhang Tan's grandmother used to like to add lettuce. The lettuce is fresh and tender, and it is especially delicious after being cooked in the soup.
The soup of this dish is slightly salty, which is perfect for adding salt when you are sweating in summer.
"It's fragrant." Xiaobai took a deep breath, almost drooling.
Zhang Tan knew that her favorite food was probably meat, that is, quack. Every time she came to his house as a guest, she always asked if she would eat quack today. This child is a carnivorous animal.
"It smells good. Then eat it quickly. Just be careful not to burn your mouth."
After a busy morning, the children are hungry and have a good appetite. Xiaobai once again proved that she is very good at eating, and can eat more millet.
There were two plates of bee steamed buns. The buns were made in the shape of bees. The children especially liked them. To prove their love for the bees, they ate them all! Meow meow meow~
Zhang Tan winked at Huang Mianberry. Huang Mianberry's expression changed. She thought Zhang Tan was asking her to pay the bill, so she quickly pretended not to see it.
You can order food, but pay the bill? It’s hard to do that.
At the same time, she felt resentful in her heart, feeling that she had seen through Zhang Tan's trick. This guy deliberately asked her to order, so now he also asked her to pay the bill. Good people may not be smart, but bad people must be cunning.
Zhang Tan kicked her under the table and gestured with his mouth.
Huang Liangliang dug out her bag and cried out, indicating that she really had no money.
Zhang sighed, leaned into her ear and said: "Hai~zu~guan~"
Huang Liangliang suddenly understood, and secretly reflected on herself. Although Zhang Tan was a scumbag, he was only a scumbag emotionally. He was still very good as a friend, and it was generous to treat guests to dinner. Although he was down and out, the old Zhang family used to be a wealthy family and was as skinny as a camel.
Bigger than Ma, not to mention there are relatives in the family who are high officials.
I glanced at the children who were drinking from the children's sippy cup. The two children were restless when drinking water. They were laughing and playing.
"Ah, Zhang Tan, I want to go to the Aquarium, please let me go."
When Zhang Tan saw Xiao Bai playing around, he immediately raised his little head, looked at Huang Liangliang curiously, quickly looked away, and said casually: "Isn't this good? What's so fun about the aquarium? Don't you think so?"
Want to eat fish?"
Huang Limei said: "The aquarium is so fun. There are dolphins, salamanders, whales, sunfish, penguins, polar bears, and chubby seals. Whatever you want to see is there."
"
Xiaobai held the sippy cup and looked at her intently, then secretly glanced at Zhang Tan, only to hear Zhang Tan say in embarrassment: "But there is no time, I have to send Xiaobai and Xiaomi back."
Huang Liangliang lowered her head and met the eyes of Xiaobai who was looking over, and asked: "Xiaobai, don't you and Xiaomi have time?"
Xiaobai nodded quickly while holding the straw in his mouth.
Huang Liangliang said disappointedly: "I really don't have time? I really want to go to the aquarium."
Xiaobai quickly shook his head, spit out the straw, freed up his small mouth, firmly seized the opportunity, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, yes."
Huang Liangliang asked in surprise: "Do you have time?"
Xiaobai nodded and quickly pulled Xiaomi to remind Xiaomi to speak quickly.
Xiaomi also said: "I also have time, thi."
Huang Liangliang said to Zhang Tan funnyly: "You heard it, Xiaobai and Xiaomi both have time."
Zhang Tan said: "Although we have time, if Xiaobai and Xiaomi don't like to go to the aquarium, let's forget it. Today we are accompanying the children."
Huang Liangliang didn’t need to ask, Xiaobai had already taken the lead.
"I like it~Uncle, I like giant pandas."
Huang Liangliang asked Xiaomi: "Where is Xiaomi?"
Xiaomi said: "I like giraffes."
Zhang Tan frowned and looked at the two little girls. Why did he feel that they were stupid? How could there be giant pandas and giraffes in the aquarium? Are they drowning?
He was stared at by three girls. It seemed that after a fierce ideological struggle, he finally agreed: "Okay, then let's go to the aquarium."
Bah~ Xiaobai looked at him blankly, then loosened his grip and dropped the straw cup under the table.
The child quickly jumped off the chair to pick it up, then jumped on the spot with great restraint, and said seriously to Huang Meibai: "Miss, there are dogs and big cats in the aquarium."
When Huang Liangliang was taking stock of the little animals just now, she wanted to interrupt. How could she miss two such important little cuties?
