Chapter 103 Gourmet Rebirth

Xiao Zhenglie knew that this was his last meal. After this meal, it was time to die. There was nothing in this world worth his nostalgia.

After busying in the kitchen for a while, Bai Xiaobai walked out of the kitchen with a tray.

There were only two things on the tray.

The glass cup is filled with ice-free spring water from Kunlun Snow Mountain, and the white porcelain bowl is filled with supreme tea eggs.

The combination of these two is exactly one hundred yuan.

Except that the price is just right, Bai Xiaobai thinks that these two kinds of food are what the drunk young man in front of him needs most.

Mineral water diuretic can accelerate the excretion of alcohol, while the fragrance and salty taste of tea eggs can refresh the mind and help hangover.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Bai Xiaobai put the water glass and white porcelain bowl in front of Xiao Zhenglie.

Xiao Zhenglie was dizzy. He put down the wine bottle, looked at the glass of water and tea eggs on the table, and was stunned.

Although a little drunk, his head is still clear and his eyes are not dazzled.

"Hey, I'll give you a hundred, and you just use these two things to get rid of me, what do you mean!" Xiao Zhenglie's tone was neither serious nor light, but with a ruffian air, giving people a sense of oppression.

Xiao Zhenglie felt that the little boss must have seen him drunk, so he dismissed him with a glass of water and an egg.

He was about to swear, but the swear words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swear at all.

Because the fragrance of the tea eggs had penetrated into his nostrils, it lifted his spirits.

Smelling the scent of tea, the pain in the brain from drunkenness seems to have eased a lot.

From the moment Xiao Zhenglie entered the kitchen, he felt his stomach was still very nauseous, feeling like he couldn't vomit.

But this uncomfortable feeling completely disappeared after smelling the aroma of tea eggs.

With deep doubts, Xiao Zhenglie picked up the tea egg, peeled it off and tasted it.

After just one bite, Xiao Zhenglie realized something was wrong.

How can this tea egg be so delicious?
The salty egg whites and soft yolks melt in the mouth little by little.

The most peculiar aroma of tea completely dilutes the smell of wine in the mouth.

Xiao Zhenglie had stomach bleeding for the past two days, and he hadn't eaten anything for two days. Whenever he ate something, he vomited. This tea egg was the only food he could swallow for the past two days.

Food has a wonderful effect, which can calm people's hearts.

So sometimes, when a person is in a bad mood, he will eat to make up for the lack and depression in his heart, and the effect is indeed quite good.

The same is true for Xiao Zhenglie now, every time he takes a breath of tea, every mouthful of tea eggs, he will feel calmer physically and mentally.

After eating a whole tea egg, Xiao Zhenglie felt as if he was reborn, and his desire to seek death gradually faded away.

"Hey, let me tell you, you are young, and your cooking skills are really good. How did you make these tea eggs, and why are they so delicious?" Although Xiao Zhenglie's words were still a bit awkward, compared to before, his tone was better. A lot, is the tone of inquiry.

The other party's tone softened, and Bai Xiaobai's tone also softened accordingly. He said calmly, "I made the tea eggs with the best ingredients and a unique cooking method."

When Xiao Zhenglie heard this sentence, he knew that there was a secret recipe, so he didn't intend to continue asking.

After eating the tea eggs, Xiao Zhenglie's mouth was a little dry.

Picking up the water glass, he mechanically drank a big mouthful of water to quench his thirst.

After drinking half a glass of water, Xiao Zhenglie's whole body trembled.

Even the water is so delicious!
There is no smell of disinfectant, it is very sweet, although it is not ice-cold, it is very refreshing in the mouth.

Gollum... Gollum... Gollum...

After drinking a large glass of water in one breath, Xiao Zhenglie put down the glass, feeling a burst of joy in his body and mind, more hearty than drinking cold beer.

After eating the tea eggs and drinking the water, Xiao Zhenglie's drunkenness had gradually dissipated, but he suddenly had mixed feelings, and he wanted to talk to someone about his bitterness.

"Hey, I'm full of bitterness and want to say something, would you like to listen, enlighten me... I think... living is meaningless..."

Xiao Zhenglie's unreasonable words made Bai Xiaobai stunned for a moment.

Bai Xiaobai is really not very interested in other people's tragic encounters and painful experiences.

But after all, this person spent 100 yuan, and the heavy rain outside was so heavy that he couldn't leave for a while.

Since he wanted to express his heart so hard, Bai Xiaobai should simply listen to stories and gain experience.

"Tell me." Bai Xiaobai put on a posture of listening attentively.

With the storm outside, the painful experience that Xiao Zhenglie wanted to talk about was just like the storm outside.

Xiao Zhenglie was a migrant worker from Yunnan Province who came to Jianghai City. His mother died early, and his father also died of lung cancer when he was in the third year of junior high school.

It is said that the children of the poor are headed home early, and Xiao Zhenglie is no exception.

His peers were all studying at school, and he had already started working in the fields when he was a minor. Because farming depended on the sky, he really couldn't make much money, so Xiao Zhenglie began to work in Jianghai City with young people from the same village last year.

Xiao Zhenglie always looks for construction workers on construction sites. Although this kind of work is tiring and dirty, the pay is high.

Because he has room and board included, he can earn a lot of money in a year.

He wanted to take advantage of his youth and strength, save a little wife, marry a daughter-in-law, have a baby, build a brick house in the countryside, and live a good life.

Migrant workers will inevitably have needs in that area because they work outside. Xiao Zhenglie is a young man with a young blood, so he naturally has a strong need in that area.

Working on a construction site, he met a migrant girl of the same age, from Shuchuan, surnamed Zhu, who also looked Zhou Zheng.

The two hit it off and started living together.

At the beginning, the girl surnamed Zhu was very kind to him, with all kinds of intimacy, and even vowed to marry him.

Xiao Zhenglie grew up in the countryside since he was a child, he didn't go out to work for a long time, he didn't know much, and he lacked maternal love since he was a child, so he doted on this woman very much and never doubted her words.

After the two lived together, the relationship developed better and better.

Once, Zhu Nu told Xiao Zhenglie that her mother was ill and urgently needed life-saving money for an operation.

Xiao Zhenglie did leave a sum of money, which was not only his wife's money, but also his life-saving money.

Xiao Zhenglie has a problem, he often suffers from stomach bleeding. He saved the money for an operation in the future to eradicate the old problem, but thinking that his future mother-in-law might be in trouble, he took it out without hesitation.

Xiao Zhenglie can still clearly remember Zhu Nu's moved expression at that time.

But this time, after Zhu Nu took the money and left, she never came back.

There was no news, and the phone couldn't be reached no matter what, Xiao Zhenglie suddenly realized afterwards that he was cheated.

A true heart was completely ravaged, the pain of falling from heaven to hell, Xiao Zhenglie found it hard to accept.

Xiao Zhenglie called the police.

In the past few days, due to violent mood swings, Xiao Zhenglie's old problem of stomach bleeding recurred again, and the pain was excruciating. He didn't have much money on his body, so he couldn't go to the hospital at all. He was like a walking corpse.

The foreman at the construction site thought he had a stomachache and could not work, so he kicked him out of the house.

After leaving the construction site for two days, Xiao Zhenglie couldn't find a job for a while, and he had been sleeping on the street for two days. He didn't know the meaning of life.

In order to go out to work conveniently, the fields in the countryside have been sold out, and there is no turning back.

Confused and lingering for two days, Xiao Zhenglie felt that life was hopeless and death was the only way out.

Today, with the money he had left, he went to the restaurant to eat and drink enough, and planned to throw himself into the river and sea to die.

But before he died, he happened to encounter the delicious food in this restaurant, which made Xiao Zhenglie rekindle his desire for life.

It was just a glass of water and a tea egg, but the incomparable delicacy made him feel like he was reborn.
