Chapter 314 Uncle can have a drink with you
The weather is getting hotter, and whether you are a white-collar worker in an office building or a blue-collar worker doing handyman work on a construction site, after work, they all like to go to a barbecue restaurant to grill a few skewers and drink two glasses of beer.
The business of the Midnight BBQ restaurant is very good, the restaurant is full of people, and there are even five or six tables of people sitting in the alley outside the store.
Unknowingly, it has been almost a year since I came to Donghai, and more than half a year has passed since I left Midnight BBQ Restaurant. The tenants on Minsheng West Road have changed, and there are no longer a few familiar faces among the customers sitting in the store.
Before he even stepped into the store, Lin Dahai's loud voice could be heard yelling curses.
"Are you a fucking tortoise or a snail? When the mountain people were here, you could bake four or five tables by yourself. But you can't even cook two tables in time. I'll deduct five hundred yuan from you this month."
salary".
There are no trees and flowers all over the mountains and plains in the East China Sea, only bustling people and cars. Compared to Mazui Village, the summer in the East China Sea is much hotter.
Zhang Zhonghui was so busy that he was sweating profusely. While grilling the barbecue, he wiped his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck from time to time. Maybe after a few months, he had already become accustomed to being scolded by Lin Dahai, and he also knew that he was just talking and would not
His salary was really deducted. He kept flipping the barbecue in his hand, ignoring the yelling and cursing, and only focused on grilling the barbecue.
Lu Shanmin walked in slowly, picked up the barbecue tongs, stood side by side with Zhang Zhonghui, picked up the barbecue from the dinner plate, and grilled it skillfully.
Zhang Zhonghui was stunned for a moment. He was concentrating on grilling barbecue, but suddenly he didn't notice that his idol had arrived beside him.
While Lu Shanmin was grilling the barbecue, he said calmly: "Don't be stunned, be careful of being scolded by Uncle Hai again. I used to be scolded by him every day."
Zhang Zhonghui nodded excitedly and continued to turn over the barbecue in his hand.
He asked carefully: "Brother Shanmin, how did you do it?"
Lu Shanmin waved the brush and sprinkled pepper on the beef skewers, "The first time I grilled barbecue was in the mountains. At that time, Big Black Head and I went into the mountains to hunt together. Xiao Nizi also went into the mountains to play with us. We stayed in the mountains for two days.
After three days, all the dry food I brought was gone. I had no choice but to roast game. Big Blackhead was tall and thick, and he was a good hunter. When it came to cooking, he was just as careless as his grandfather. Xiao Nizi was still very young at that time.
She is probably only seven or eight years old. Although she cooks for the old master at home, she can only cook some home-cooked meals. She cannot be allowed to do this kind of thing of slaughtering wild animals and roasting meat as a little girl, so this important task falls to her.
It’s on me”.
Lu Shanmin said as he was grilling, putting the baked ones aside, taking out another one from the dinner plate and continuing to grill.
"Big Black Head is my eldest brother, and Xiao Nizi is my sister. Apart from my grandfather, they are my closest relatives. I cleaned the two hares very carefully, for fear that they would get sick if they ate them. Then I was very careful.
Control the heat carefully, for fear that it will be burnt and everyone will be hungry. After all, for a big guy like Big Black Head, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it if he does not eat meat for a whole meal. Xiao Nizi is still young and is growing up, so if he is hungry,
What if I can't grow up due to malnutrition and can't get married in the future? So I bake it very carefully."
"You asked me how I did it. It's actually very simple, just use your heart."
Zhang Zhonghui listened for a long time, feeling confused.
"Brother Shanmin, you misunderstood. I'm not asking you how to grill barbecue. I want to ask you how you got to where you are now."
Lu Shanmin paused the barbecue in his hand, as if thinking about something, and said leisurely after a while.
"Roughly the same".
After paying the bill, Lin Dahai walked back to the barbecue grill, only to find Lu Shanmin and Zhang Zhonghui grilling side by side. He quickly rushed over.
"Mountain people, how can I trouble you?"
Lu Shanmin smiled stupidly, as if he had come to the store to have a barbecue for the first time.
"Uncle Hai, among the people who come and go on Minsheng West Road, they come and go, and come and go, but you and the Midnight BBQ Restaurant are the only ones who have an iron-clad camp that has never changed."
Lin Dahai pointed his finger and said, "I have changed too. You see, my hair has turned gray." He poked Zhang Zhonghui and said, "It's all because of this kid."
"Haha, Uncle Hai, I don't know you yet, so don't pretend to be polite to me. There are a lot of guests now, so just let me help you for a while. When there aren't many people around, I'll have a drink with you."
Lin Dahai laughed loudly, "You know me better than my son, so I won't be polite." He said and ran to other tables carrying the baked dishes.
"Brother Mountain Man".
"Um".
"Can I hang out with you?"
Lu Shanmin lowered his head while grilling and did not answer.
Zhang Zhonghui smiled bitterly and wiped his sweat. "Brother Shanmin looks down on me as a barbecue guy, right?"
"I used to be a barbecue guy too."
"That,,,"
"Do you have a dream"?
Zhang Zhonghui was stunned for a moment, "Of course, my dream is to earn a lot of money, buy a house in Donghai, find a wife, preferably a girl from the city, and have a child, either a boy or a girl.
Then I brought my parents from the countryside to Donghai to live together.”
"Brother Shanmin, what is your dream?"
"I have no dreams".
"Ah? Then, why did you come to Donghai?"
"I just wanted to come and have a look."
"Just looking at it? And then you got to where you are today?" Zhang Zhonghui looked at Lu Shanmin in disbelief.
Lu Shanmin pointed to the barbecue grill, "The beef won't taste good if it's burnt."
Zhang Zhonghui quickly turned over the barbecue in his hand again.
"I heard that those who are successful are those who are ambitious and have lofty ideals and ambitions."
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "That's what I heard too."
"Brother Shanmin, will you go back to your hometown after taking a look?"
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "You can't go back. The East China Sea is a place you don't want to leave once you've arrived, and you can't leave."
"Why"?
"Because there are people I care about here."
"oh".
"Brother Shanmin, what do you think of me hanging out with you?" Zhang Zhonghui asked again.
"I don't like the word 'gang'. I am a security manager. The security guards just work here. They are just like those white-collar workers in suits and ties working in the office building. It is just like having a barbecue here. It is also a job."
"Oh, can I work at your place?"
The corner of Lu Shanmin's mouth curled up slightly, and he glanced at Zhang Zhonghui lightly.
"Half a month ago, one of my little security guards died."
Zhang Zhonghui's hands shook and he glanced at Lu Shanmin subconsciously.
Lu Shanmin's eyes turned cold and he said in a low voice: "If you go, one of them might be you."
Zhang Zhonghui turned his head away, lowered his head and kept flipping the barbecue, his hands were shaking uncontrollably, and there was more sweat on his face than before.
As late at night approached, the number of guests gradually decreased.
Lin Dahai put forward a box of cold beer and placed it next to an empty table that had been cleared.
Lu Shanmin wiped his hands, picked up a plate of barbecue and put it on the table.
I drank a glass of cold beer first, which kept me cool from head to toe.
"Mountain people, why do you think of coming to see me?"
"Uncle Hai, I'm leaving Minsheng West Road."
Lin Dahai was not too surprised. Lu Shanmin single-handedly controlled the security business of three bars on Minsheng West Road. There was no room for challenge and development. It was only a matter of time before he stepped out.
"I remember that two of the people who rented the house with you have already left, right?"
Lu Shanmin nodded with a gloomy expression, "Chen Kun and Huang Mei have been gone for a long time."
"I remember there was a girl named Zhang Li. She was very kind to you. I remember the first time you were hospitalized, she took care of you most of the time, taking care of you in every possible way."
"Um".
“Where are you going to move to”?
"Zhigang Avenue".
Lin Dahai raised his wine glass and the two of them clinked.
"The four of you came to the East China Sea at the same time and were under the same roof. Now there are only two of you left. The East China Sea has a population of tens of millions, but for most outsiders, it is the most lonely and alone."
.
Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Chen Kun is gone, Huang Mei is gone, and Sister Li is the only friend left."
"Zhigang Avenue is not far away. You can rent a house there and move there together."
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "Uncle Hai, to tell you the truth, my past trip this time was extremely dangerous, and I can't harm her."
Lin Dahai nodded thoughtfully, "That's true. I heard that the area on Zhigang Avenue is very chaotic."
Lin Dahai continued: "Then tell her the truth. I have met that girl several times. She is a very strong girl."
Lu Shanmin drank a glass of beer and said, "Sister Li has always been opposed to me doing this business. If she knew that I would be in danger, she would definitely stop me or follow me."
Lin Dahai spread his hands and said, "Sometimes, I hope you can prosper and prosper. Sometimes, I think it's better to be a little rich. In fact, I always think this girl is more suitable for you than the rich girl named Zeng Yaqian."
Spectrum".
Lu Shanmin chuckled and said, "Uncle Hai, she is my sister."
Lin Dahai curled his lips, "It's great that a female junior holds gold bricks and knows how to take care of others! Let me tell you, I know you are not the kind of person who is greedy for vanity, but I always feel that girls like Zeng Yaqian are the same as you.
People in two worlds are full of passion now, but life requires real action, and marriage is a matter between two families, and cannot just rely on chatting about feelings."
Lu Shanmin drank a glass of wine and said, "Uncle Hai, the topic has gone sideways."
Lin Dahai smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm just nagging a few words. Then have you thought about how to tell Zhang Li?"
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "Not yet, so I came to your place for a drink."
Lin Dahai patted Lu Shanmin on the shoulder, "Don't worry about it, have a drink with your uncle, and don't think about anything else."
"Bang", the two of them had another drink, and the cold beer penetrated their hearts.
"Mountain people, no matter how things change outside, this barbecue restaurant and I will not change. I can even have a drink with you."
