That evening, when Comrade Xu came to set up a stall next to the newsstand, Wu Yali was sitting outside the newsstand playing with her mobile phone as usual.
When Comrade Xu saw her, she happened to look up. When their eyes met, she smiled slightly.
Comrade Xu also smiled back.
Quietly, no one noticed.
Not long after Tongdao Xu had set up the stall, Aunt Wang came over with a bowl of soup. She was still one or two meters away from Tongdao Xu, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu! Thank you so much today. I heard Yali say,
Today you blew out the tire of your car in order to help her fill up the car. You didn't want the money she gave you, so Auntie made a pot of pork rib soup and gave you a bowl. Don't refuse! Drink.
When it’s done, put it in the pot again, come on! I put it here for you!”
As she said that, she put the soup bowl in her hand on the small table next to Xu Tongdao. Before Xu Tongdao declined, she had already walked back with a smile.
When Xu Tongdao saw Xu Tonglin, Xi Dongyang, and Xi Yuehong looking over at him, he thought about it and said "thank you" loudly.
Xu Tonglin walked over quickly, turned his head and glanced at Aunt Wang's back. He came close to Xu Tongdao, lowered his voice and asked curiously: "What's going on, Xiaodao? Aunt Wang specially made you stewed pork rib soup? Why are you just drinking it?"
?None of us have it? By the way, what does the 'gas filling' she just said mean?"
His curiosity is a bit strong.
Tongdao Xu glanced at him sideways and said casually: "If you want to drink, just take a few sips first!"
Xu Tonglin turned his head and looked at the pork ribs and corn soup on the small table, swallowed his saliva, and said hesitantly: "Then let me give you a taste first?"
Comrade Xu didn't care and said yes.
Xu Tonglin immediately went to get the bowl and taste it.
When he was about to bring it to his mouth, he suddenly put down the soup bowl and said with a smile: "By the way, I'm going to get a disposable paper cup and pour some! You have to be hygienic! Hehe."
With that said, he immediately stood up to find a paper cup, and asked Xi Dongyang and Xi Yuehong if they wanted to try some too.
Xi Dongyang and Xi Yuehong both smiled and shook their heads.
Xu Tonglin didn't try to persuade him any more. He found a paper cup and happily poured half a cup of pork ribs soup into it. He also poked a piece of corn with a bamboo skewer used for skewers.
Comrade Xu didn't look at him. He knew he was greedy and had long been used to it.
He glanced at Wu Yali again, who was also looking over here. When she saw him looking at her, she gave him another shallow smile.
Before Xu Tongdao could look away, Xu Tonglin's surprised voice came from behind him, "Well, this soup is delicious! Xiaodao, try it quickly! Drink it while it's hot! It's so delicious!"
Tongdao Xu looked back at him funny and saw that he was holding a paper cup in one hand and holding the piece of corn in the other hand. There was still a little oil on his mouth, and his fat face was full of a satisfied smile.
"okay!"
Comrade Xu responded. Anyway, no guests had come yet, and the charcoal fire in the oven was lit. When he was about to wash his hands and carry the bowl, a bicycle came quickly and stopped suddenly in front of his oven.
, two big feet stepped on the ground.
Before Xu Tongdao raised his head, he heard the voice of his cousin Ge Lianghua, "Xiaodao, bake me something to eat, and bring me cold beer! By the way, bring me some of the pickled pepper chicken feet from last time, and
Salted edamame! Give me some!"
When Comrade Xu looked up and saw him, Ge Lianghua had already gotten out of the car.
"Oh well!"
As soon as Xu Tongdao agreed, Ge Lianghua saw the ribs and corn soup on the small table next to him, and immediately grinned, "Huh? Are you still selling this now? Not bad! When eating barbecue, have a bowl of ribs soup like this,
It feels so good just thinking about it! I drank half the bowl!"
As he spoke, he strode over, bent down, and stretched out his hand to pick up the soup bowl.
Comrade Xu's expression was a little helpless, he hadn't tasted it yet!
Xu Tonglin on the side was stunned and said: "Hey, Brother Rooster, that's not what we sell, that's what Aunt Wang just gave to Xiaodao to drink..."
When the words fell, Ge Lianghua had already taken a few big sips, and the edge of the bowl left his mouth, with a surprised expression on his face, "Ah? Is this soup a gift? Really?"
Xu Tonglin nodded quickly.
Comrade Xu smiled helplessly but said generously, "It's okay! Brother, just drink it! You have already drank it anyway."
"this……"
Ge Lianghua looked at a few bones and a piece of corn in the bowl. The soup had reached the bottom. He hesitated and handed the bowl to Comrade Xu, "How about... you take a bone and chew it?"
Xu Tongdao smiled and shook his head. Ge Lianghua was a little embarrassed and raised his hand to pat Xu Tongdao on the shoulder, "Oh! It's my fault that my hands were too fast. Come back! Come back, brother, I'll treat you to a restaurant and have a good meal!"
After saying that, he smiled, took the bones in the bowl, found an empty table to sit at, and directly reached out to grab the bones in the bowl and gnawed them out.
It's delicious to chew.
Tongdao Xu felt helpless, smiled and sighed, and unconsciously glanced at Wu Yali in front of the newsstand.
At this time, Aunt Wang was setting the table, serving dishes, and preparing for dinner.
Wu Yali is also helping.
Comrade Xu didn't look much, looked away, and took the time to bake something for his cousin.
Unexpectedly, not long after, the mutton skewers in his hand were not yet cooked, and his nose suddenly smelled a fragrant breeze. He turned around and saw Wu Yali coming over with a bowl of soup.
Seeing him looking at him, she pursed her lips and smiled, handed the bowl to him, and whispered: "I saw it just now, and you didn't even drink a sip. Here, I'll fill you with another bowl. Come on soon."
Come on! Don’t give it to them anymore! You!”
She was wearing a floral short skirt tonight, which had a very good slimming effect. Her upper body was a loose and thin white shirt, and her two white thighs were right in front of Xu Tongdao's eyes, which was a bit dazzling.
"Uh, thank you!"
Comrade Xu did not refuse, she sent them all over, and asked her to take them back, which was a courtesy to her.
"Then I'm going back."
When Comrade Xu took the bowl, Wu Yali whispered something, turned around and left.
Xu Tongdao didn't need to look back, he knew that his cousin Ge Lianghua and Xu Tonglin were definitely watching them, so he simply didn't look back.
He smiled, lowered his head and took a sip of the soup. It was indeed quite fresh.
At the same time, he also thought of what his cousin Ge Lianghua just said - when eating barbecue, have a bowl of pork rib soup, just think about it...
Maybe, he can really consider selling pork rib soup here.
Make a pot of soup in advance every day and put it on the oven to keep it warm at night. If someone buys it, just fill it up with a bowl and bring it over.
Of course, it is still a bit inconvenient to set up a street stall to carry this. After a while, he will set up a store, and then he will not only be able to sell pork rib soup, but also carry a lot of things.
Stir-fried vegetables, fried rice, fried noodles, dumplings, fried dumplings, etc. can all be included in the menu.
"Oh, Xiaodao! You said I wish you had this skill! Oh! It's annoyed me to death lately..."
Suddenly, cousin Ge Lianghua's voice came from behind, startling Comrade Xu.
Because the sound came from very close behind him.
Xu Tongdao immediately turned around and saw that his cousin had brought a small stool and sat behind him at some point, with a rare melancholy expression.
