"Sister Qing'er, please sit with your elder brother for a while, and I will make these food for you myself. It will take ten minutes at most, and I will ensure that you can eat it." After saying that, Xiaorou walked out quickly, looking very happy. I want Li Qing'er to try her craftsmanship.
Li Qing'er took out a piece of paper towel and carefully wiped Shen Yu's stool, then took an unused paper cup from the table and poured Shen Yu a glass of water.
Shen Yu exchanged the stool with Li Qing'er's, "You can sit down, I'm not that particular about it."
After Li Qing'er sat down, she held her chin in her hands and didn't speak. She seemed to be worried.
"Qing'er, what is your relationship with this girl named Xiaorou? Your surname is Li, are you from the same clan?" Shen Yu asked his doubts.
Li Qing'er shook her head slightly, "No, last year, this 'Li Ji Breakfast' shop was still a small stall. Because the food tasted good, I frequented it often.
"It was March last year. My mother suddenly came to Chuzhou. As you know, she disappeared after giving birth to me, and then suddenly appeared in my world more than twenty years later. I couldn't accept it at all.< /p>
"One day I had a few arguments with her and I was in a bad mood so I drank some wine. When I was about to go home, some drunk gangsters from the stall next door suddenly came over to tease me.
"Although I knocked down a few, my head was so dizzy that I couldn't beat four hands with two fists, and there was one who knew kung fu. He was hiding at the end, and suddenly he kicked my right knee with a side kick. I I couldn't stand up after I fell down. In the end, it was Xiaorou who took the kitchen knife and Uncle Li called out to many enthusiastic stall owners around to scare them away."
When Shen Yu heard this, he became anxious. He didn't care whether men and women were kissing each other. He bent down and gently picked up Li Qing'er's right leg. Then he put his fingers together and slowly touched his knee several times. After he found that there was no problem with the bone, he I breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yu had more of a brother-sister relationship with Li Qing'er. When he heard that Li Qing'er's kneecap was kicked, he immediately broke into a cold sweat. Zhong Zhonglou's medical skills were unparalleled. Even Li Hanmo often came to ask for advice. Although Shen Yu had never studied medicine, he was influenced by it. I also know some bone-setting massage techniques.
Injury to the knee is no joke. Even if it is a minor injury and you can’t feel anything now, when people get older, post-traumatic sequelae will appear. Whenever it is cloudy, rainy or humid, people will often suffer from it. A very big sin.
Li Qing'er withdrew her leg with a shy face, "Later I returned home safely, and there was nothing going on at Xiaorou's house for a while, so I forgot about it. But a month later, those little gangsters deliberately made trouble. He said there was hair in the food and ruined Xiaorou's stall.
"When I was angry, I asked Tang Yan, Tang Jiu and the others, Grandpa Tang's grandchildren, to give those bastards a hard lesson, and then spent money to rent this store to Xiaorou's family.
"Xiaorou's family is very difficult. Her mother fell in a car accident and hit her head. Although she is sober now, she can only take care of herself a little. She also has a brother who is studying in college and needs money.
"This small shop is now only run by his father. Only Xiaorou can help after school or before school every day."
"So that's it!" After thinking about it, Shen Yu took out his wallet and counted out two thousand yuan and handed it to Li Qing'er, "After dinner, give this money to the child."
Li Qing'er took the money and smiled sweetly, "Then I'll thank Boss Shen for Xiaorou." After saying that, she walked out of the small private room with a smile.
After a while, Xiao Rou and Li Qing'er came in with a basket of steamed dumplings, a basket of steamed dumplings, and two bowls of wontons, "Brother, you just ordered all the food in the shop. I don't think you can eat it." Yes, you eat these first, and there are two bowls of beef soup later, which will be ready right away."
"Okay, let's eat first. If it's not enough, we'll order more."
Xiaorou bowed slightly towards Shen Yu and Li Qing'er, turned on the air conditioner, and went to the restaurant to work, while helping them close the wooden door.
Now is the busiest time in the store. New customers are ordering food, guests who have finished their meals have to pay, and customers who want to add food in the middle have to be taken care of. Food and bowls have to be removed and the tables have to be cleared. There is no rest for a moment.
It’s no wonder that Xiaorou is exhausted. These tasks are indeed too tiring for a little girl who has just entered high school.
Shen Yu had been hungry for a long time, so he picked up a small steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. The stuffing was vegetarian, neither salty nor bland, and tasted good. After tasting it, it should be a mixture of cabbage vermicelli, and tofu and vegetable balls. The craftsmanship Nothing to say.
Shen Yu ate a total of nine steamed dumplings in one go, while Li Qing'er just slowly ate the wontons, and then looked at Shen Yu eating them with soft eyes.
Boom, boom!
After two weak knocks on the door, a middle-aged man wearing a white apron and a chef's hat walked in, carrying two bowls of steaming beef soup on a tray. His appearance looked similar to Xiaorou's. , just a little bit hunched over, and the complexion on the face is also very dark and rough. It seems that it is caused by years of exposure to wind and sun.
"Miss Li, the second girl knew you were coming and stewed this specially for you last night. After a night of simmering, now is the time when the soup is rich and the beef is crispy. Hurry up and eat it while it's hot."< /p>
"Thank you, Uncle Li." Li Qing'er greeted politely, but after she took it, she placed the beef soup in front of Shen Yu.
Lao Li said that Xiaorou cooked it specially, but he did not say how many bowls there were. There must be only one bowl, and the other bowl should be served in a big soup pot.
Li Qing'er likes Shen Yu from the bottom of her heart, so of course she will give Shen Yu first to eat good things.
"Xiaorou's cooking skills are very good, Qinan, please try it quickly."
Shen Yu naturally didn't know this, but the amount of beef in this beef soup was a bit too much. This was not beef soup at all. It was clearly a bowl of beef stew.
I took a sip of the soup first, and it didn't smell fishy at all. Then I picked up a piece of beef with my chopsticks and put it into my mouth. It was really delicious.
"It's delicious, the meat is rotten and the soup is thick, and the aroma is overflowing. Uncle Li, if you have this skill, you will definitely make a fortune."
Lao Li suddenly beamed with joy, "I'd like to lend you some good words. I'd like to lend you some good words."
Seeing that Shen Yu and Li Qing'er were eating well, Lao Li was very happy and said, "Okay, you guys eat first. I have to go to the kitchen to cook for the guests."
"You are busy!"
As soon as he turned around, Lao Li suddenly seemed to have discovered something, "Why doesn't this kid, Er Yatou, know how to open the curtain? I said it's so dark in this room!" Lao Li muttered as he walked to the east wall. With a snap, a thick partition curtain was opened.
In an instant, the room became much brighter.
It turned out that the middle of the room was divided into two parts by a thick curtain. The other half of the room had a small window about the same size as a 21-inch TV. When the sunlight streamed in, the room suddenly became much brighter. .
When Shen Yu first came in, because the room was dark, he didn't take a closer look, thinking it was a solid wall.
In addition to the window, there is also a bunk bed, and the bedding on it is very clean and tidy.
There are two portraits of the God of Wealth hanging on the north wall.
One is a statue of Guan Sheng, with a couplet next to it: "Loyalty, liver, righteousness, and courage shine through the ages."
Guan Sheng has a saying about the God of Wealth, which can bring money to the shop.
The other picture is not the traditional portrait of Zhao Gongming with a black face and thick beard, riding a black tiger, holding a silver whip, and wearing a full military uniform. It is a portrait of Zhao Gongming wearing a golden crown, holding a gold ingot in one hand, and holding a wish in the other, with a kind appearance and a smile. Portrait of the warm God of Wealth.
There is a wooden table below the portrait, with eight plates of fruit snacks placed on it. In the center stands a richly patinated copper stove in the shape of a chestnut shell.
When he saw the copper furnace for the first time, Shen Yu's eyes were immediately firmly locked on this copper furnace.
Under the morning sun, there seems to be a layer of precious light flashing on the surface of the incense burner. At first glance, it is crystal clear and dazzling, like dots of beautiful jade flowing on the incense burner.
If you look carefully, you will see that the copper stove has a restrained glow and is plain and unpretentious, which is very strange.
Lao Li took out a stick of sandalwood on the incense table, lit it and put it in the stove. Soon the room was filled with cigarette smoke.
The fragrance is very light, not pungent but very refreshing.
Seeing Lao Li go to the kitchen, Shen Yu slowly walked towards the copper stove with beef soup.
