Rebirth in 1998 is also a kind of life

Yanxitang, one of the "Four Lu Cuisine Restaurants" in Jinju Lane and Quancheng.

In this antique gray brick compound, Yu Xiaohua was proudly introducing the dishes on the table to Luobo and Li Qiaoqiao.

"Come here, Qiaoqiao, try this five-star apple chicken!"

"This dish uses 5 apples of uniform size, peeled and dug out the core; put the chopped chicken pieces, add a little seasoning, put them into the apples, put them in a bowl, steam them in a cage, put them on a plate, pour them It is made with marinade... It has the reputation of "chicken has fruity taste, fruit has chicken fragrance, and the taste is extremely delicious."

Wrapped like a rice dumpling, Li Qiaoqiao picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth to taste it, and said with a bitter face in the expectant eyes of a classmate: "It tastes so weird! It's a bit sweet, I can't eat it!"

Yu Xiaohua scratched his head, then moved the dishes on the table: "Then you try this fried fish fillet!"

"This dish is Yanxitang's specialty; it is said that it uses the Yellow River carp freshly caught in Yongyuan Spring in the courtyard;"

"First slice the fresh carp and fish fan into 3-cent thick slices, and cut the cattail head into inch sections (cut the wild rice into pieces). Mix the fish fillets with 5 qian of starch, egg white and fine salt, and put them in a clean spoon. 3 catties of lard, heat to 5% heat, put in fish fillets, fry until white and remove;”

"After pouring out most of the oil, leave 1 tael, put green onion, ginger, and minced garlic after heating, stir until fragrant, pour in the fried fish fillets, cattail head (or wild rice head), fragrant rice juice, spoon Put clear soup in it, add an appropriate amount of salt, thicken it with starch, add a little southern wine and monosodium glutamate, and quickly turn it upside down."

"This dish seems simple to make, but the simpler the recipe, the more it will test the master's level - Yanxitang's fried fish fillets are always famous for their white color, mellow taste, and blended fish sauce. say!"

Li Qiaoqiao picked up a chopstick and put it in her mouth, then looked hesitantly at classmate Radish next to her.

Zhang Mengping spread his hands expressionlessly: "You can say whatever you want, you don't have to give her face-this is the little girl I have known for 20 years, there are no taboos!"

Seeing this, Li Qiaoqiao quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip: "You don't need money for the salt here in Qilu?...This dish is too salty!"

Yu Xiaohua put a piece of badly fried fish fillet into his mouth, and looked at Li Qiaoqiao with some doubts...it's not salty!

Zhang Mengping shrugged at the side: "The cooking in southern Yunnan is more about the taste of the food. Don't look at the spicy food there, but in most areas, the salt is not heavy. Soy sauce, vinegar, monosodium glutamate, etc. Let it go, it will definitely not let it go!"

Seeing that the dish worth tens of dollars was turned down, Yu Xiaohua felt ashamed, and put a different dish in front of Li Qiaoqiao: "Try the signature dish of Yanxitang's signature dishes-the fried double crisp! "

Li Qiaoqiao: "The taste is good, but there is no chili, so the taste is a bit lacking!"

Yu Xiaohua looked unconvinced: "Try this clear duck liver!"

Li Qiaoqiao: "Eh? Still bloodshot? You Qilu people also eat sapae? But it's much milder than the sapao we have in southern Yunnan!"

The corners of Yu Xiaohua's eyebrows twitched: "Try this milk soup with fish maw and fresh peach kernels!"

Seeing that the other party's expression had stiffened like a puppet, Li Qiaoqiao took a sip, then said weakly, "Uh...this soup...delicious!"

Seeing Li Qiaoqiao's dodging eyes and insincere words, a classmate almost vomited blood—please!This is already the ceiling of Quancheng cuisine, okay, but the result is so unbearable in your opinion?

It was the first time the two sides met, and Li Qiaoqiao was Luobo's girlfriend. Otherwise, Yu Xiaohua, who was so shameless and full of violence in his bones, would have retaliated with old punches!

Seeing Yu Xiaohua's expression of internal injury, Zhang Mengping rolled his eyes: "Huahua, coincidentally is from southern Yunnan, do you think she will get used to these Qilu dishes without chili?"

"Also...Your old man is obviously from Bashu, okay? If you don't take us to eat a good hot pot, what's the situation when you come to this place to order a table of expensive Qilu dishes?"

Eh! ? ? ?

Oh yes!

I am from Bashu, so I should treat guests to hot pot!

Yu Xiaohua was a little dumbfounded. When she thought that she had spent all her private money and invited this couple to eat Shandong cuisine worth more than 200 oceans, but received a lot of bad reviews, she wanted to give herself a piece of cake. Give me a hard slap in the face!

Seeing her annoyed expression, classmate Luo Luo glanced at the ancient atmosphere around her, and rolled her eyes: "Student Huahua, you can invite us to this place for dinner. It seems that you have made a lot of money this year!"

"Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

When Yu Xiaohua heard this, he put his hips on his hips and smiled triumphantly: "That's necessary, I'm the store operation director of a sign language chain coffee shop now!"

"Not to mention a full month's salary of 6000 yuan, how much do you think you got this year's year-end bonus?"

Carrot gasped when he heard that.

A salary of 6000 yuan a month! ?Let me be a good boy, two months of working on this stuff is enough to make me work hard for a year.

Thinking of this, student Luobo's eyes became even more green: "The year-end bonus... how much did you get!?"

Yu Xiaohua's face was radiant, like a little fox who just stole two eggs, and then stretched out four fingers: "Forty thousand oceans!!"

hiss~! !

This time, not only Zhang Mengping, but even Li Qiaoqiao were shocked—you know, even if the brand of Yunnan bamboo shoots sells super well this year and the bamboo shoot processing factory is very profitable, as the deputy general manager, she only got 8000 yuan in year-end bonus .

After a brief surprise, Student Luobo licked his lips, smiled and moved closer: "Classmate Huahua, we have been friends for 20 years anyway, so... can you borrow some money?"

Eh?

Borrow money?

Yu Xiaohua's face froze, and then he stiffened his neck and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

Radish didn't realize that this guy was short of energy, so he touched his chin: "Well... Of course, the more the better, let's borrow [-] first, and I'll ask you if it's not enough!"

forty thousand! ! !

Yu Xiaohua's eyes were wide open, and it took a long while before he put on a bitter face: "It's not that I don't want to borrow radishes, but... I don't have so many radishes now!"

When Luo Bo heard this, he scratched his head: "Then... [-]?"

Yu Xiaohua was dejected: "Not so much."

Luo Bo looked at her in surprise: "How long have you been on vacation? The year-end bonus of [-] was ruined by you, and even [-] was lost?"

"Well... there is always ten thousand, right?"

Yu Xiaohua was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack to get in: "One, ten thousand... Let me see if I can think of a way?"

Luobo gasped: "Not even ten thousand?"

"Well... just tell me, how much money do you have now? I'm talking about what you have, borrowing from others doesn't count!"

Classmate Hua burst into tears in embarrassment, hesitated for a long time, and then stretched out three fingers tremblingly: "347 yuan!"

When Luo Bo heard this, he almost fainted.

Auntie, don't you have a full salary of 6000 oceans?And the year-end bonus of 4 yuan!

What the hell are you going to do to spend such a large amount of money and only have more than 300 left! ?

Yu Xiaohua was also very wronged.

Although her salary is indeed very high, and the year-end bonus is even more frightening, but... come on, she still has a shop to support, okay?

Besides, although the sign language chain coffee project recruits employees who are from the mildly handicapped group, the more you get in touch with this project, the more you understand how large the number of handicapped groups are in Huaxia.

People with mild disabilities are better off. Many companies can solve their employment and living problems through employment; but those with more serious disabilities...their real living conditions are hard to describe.

However, although Miss Yu has a hot temper and a bad temper, she is not a cold-hearted person;

Ever since, as soon as the monthly salary is received, except for the necessary expenses of the store and my own living expenses, all the rest are anonymously donated to those disabled groups who really need help through various means-the 4 yuan year-end bonus It is also naturally handled in this way.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaohua feels extremely aggrieved... It's strange to say that, even though the sign language chain coffee shops in other places are doing very well, I don't believe it, but the shop I opened is still dying, which makes me Put money in every month!

There was also that fellow named Sima Peng, who had obviously hinted that he would not come to the store to help out, but this guy came over every day unshakably, causing himself to have to pay an extra salary—with her current poor appearance, Even if you have a few hundred dollars in your pocket a month, it's great!

Seeing Yu Xiaohua's appearance, Luobo sighed helplessly, but he didn't bring up the topic again - as a boy who had known Yu Xiaohua for 20 years, he naturally knew Yu Xiaohua's temperament, since he said he had no money, Then there must be no money, otherwise, with this guy's temperament, it is absolutely impossible not to borrow it.

Seeing that Luobo looked a little disappointed, Li Qiaoqiao quietly held her boyfriend's hand, and then patted it lightly.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaohua knew that this guy must have something that really needed money, so he didn't ask the reason at the moment, but his mind turned quickly.

"Eh!? I know there is someone who can help you!" After thinking for a while, Yu Xiaohua's eyes lit up.

"Who?" Luobo asked in surprise, you know, 4 yuan is not a small amount these years.

"Yang Zhu! According to Xiaopeng, this guy is living a comfortable life. Not to mention having a house and a car, the house is full of good things, and he looks like he is not short of money. He will definitely help you!" Yu Xiaohua looked confident about the good things that Sima Peng brought over from that guy's house every day; that guy didn't look like an honest person, and he probably made a lot of money in Zhutou International Trade.

"Yang Zhu?... Forget it, let's not tell him about it." Luo Bo hesitated, and finally rejected Yu Xiaohua's proposal.

"Eh? Why? Don't you call each other brothers?" Yu Xiaohua's expression was incomprehensible.

Luo Bo smiled wryly: "Yang Zhu and I are indeed brothers. In fact, logically speaking, I should be the first to approach him, but...to be honest, he has helped me a lot over the past year." I really can't open my mouth!"

From Luobo’s point of view, whether it’s Zhenxiong’s bamboo shoot processing plant, the artificial Gastrodia elata planting project, the morel mushroom artificial cultivation base, the 23-kilometer road, and the Hope Primary School, it’s all Yang Zhu’s efforts to save his face. I tried my best to ask for it.

And he was able to become the intermediary coordinator of the arabica coffee planting project in southern Yunnan, and it was Yang Zhu who went to great lengths to ask Lin Keran to come. You know, this business scope covers half of southern Yunnan, and the investment scale is tens of millions. How many people have broken their heads and want to get in on a billion-dollar super-large project, but he, a small commissioner of the poverty alleviation office in a small county, can suddenly become one of the main coordinators of the project; it can be said that Yang Zhu didn't pay a lot for this The price, he wouldn't believe it even if he killed him!

In fact, the benefits to him of being the intermediary coordinator of so many big projects are also obvious - he, a rookie, has been able to move up his rank this year, thanks to his brother's silent efforts behind his back Otherwise, with his temperament, it is a blessing from God to keep his job.

But because of this, he was embarrassed to speak to Yang Zhu;

People treat you like a brother, but you can't treat him like a big brother and catch him hard—after all, you borrowed this money not for yourself, and it's completely morally unjustifiable.

Seeing the appearance of classmate Luobo, Yu Xiaohua curled his lips: "If you want me to say, although that guy Yang Zhu doesn't look like a good person, he seems to sincerely treat you as a brother;"

"So, don't worry about whether that guy has the ability to help you with the 4 yuan... Do you think that if something happens, you will be the first to ask your brother for help? What will he think when he finds out?"

Hearing this, Luo Bo scratched his face in embarrassment, then nodded.

"Sure enough, it's classmate Huahua. What you said makes sense. I'm being narrow-minded about this!" After all, Luo Bo is not a person who can control his temper, so he admitted his mistake on the spot, and then took out the phone that had already been painted and began to rummage through the address book. .

Seeing this, Yu Xiaohua nodded with satisfaction: "That's right! A big man, why are there so many twitches!?"

"Besides, he has won so many big projects for you in the past, which shows that the energy of this product is really great. The 4 yuan may be a huge sum of money for us, but for him, maybe It’s something that can be solved at will!”

"So... Hurry up and call that guy over! Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for nearly a year, so I just called him over for a get-together!"

Aren't you all in Quancheng?Why haven't seen you for almost a year?

Luo Bo looked at his own family in surprise, this guy and Yang Zhu are not the kind of indifferent people, why don't they get together on weekdays?

Just as he was wondering, the phone was connected.

"Hiss~~Mom~! Mom~! Don't be awkward! Don't be awkward! My brother is calling me, please save some face for me, okay!?" Hearing the begging sound from the microphone, Luo Bo's expression became a little bit eccentric.

After the phone call died down a little bit, Luo Bo coughed: "That...Yang Zhu, I'm back, do you want...to get together?"

………………

40 minute later.

"Eh? Did you bring Qiaoqiao to meet your mother?" Yang Zhu gave his brother a bear hug, and then looked at Li Qiaoqiao who was shy and proud with some surprise.

In Huaxia, everyone knows what it means to meet parents during the Chinese New Year; and seeing Li Qiaoqiao like this, she probably has passed the test of her mother-in-law;

In this way... I will be the best man soon?

amount……

It seems that married people can't be best man!

Yang Zhu, who was rubbing his ears, thought with some frustration.

"Hey, Yang Zhu, you're not too young, why is your mother twisting your ears when you're too old for the New Year? What happened?" Yu Xiaohua always watched the excitement, and asked Yang Zhu's embarrassing things.

Carrot asked curiously: "Where are the younger brothers and sisters? Why didn't they come together?"

This guy is also a very face-saving person, so he really enjoys the feeling that his younger brother and sister who can be called a disaster call him "big brother". Seeing that the little girl did not appear with Yang Zhu, he was inevitably a little disappointed.

Hearing that the questions asked by these two guys were more heart-wrenching than the other, Yang Zhu said with a sad face: "Your siblings are at home, and they are being dragged by my mother to impart experience!"

Eh?

Pass on experience?

Yu Xiaohua looked at Yang Zhu with a strange face: "Hey, Yang Zhu, maybe you were caught messing around outside, so after the aunt gave you a hard lesson, she began to teach my sister-in-law the way of being a husband." Bar?"

Hearing the words, Zhang Mengping remembered the rather unusual attitude of Director Lin of the Hope Group towards Yang Zhu, so he immediately believed him, touched his shoulder lightly, and whispered, "Hey, brother, are you With Director Lin..."

Yang Zhu rolled his eyes: "Please! It's a waste of your brain circuits not to write novels!"

After finishing speaking, he threw a cigarette to his brother, and then said weakly: "My mother is teaching your younger siblings the experience of conception!"

Both Yu Xiaohua and Li Qiaoqiao were girls, they couldn't help but blush when they heard this, but they immediately recalled it.

Eh! ? ? ?

Pass on the conception experience?

The two of them stared at Yang Zhu in unison, with strange expressions on their faces.

There was a hint of pity in those eyes...
