Summer in the tropics usually starts after Qingming in April and lasts until November, which is long and difficult.Gu Ming sat facing the street, looking through the glass window at the reddish and sweaty faces of the students downstairs. The air-conditioning in the store was full, and the ends of hair touched their foreheads indistinctly, which was annoyingly itchy.

The sea opened half a month ago, and Cao Jiaxing said that he would send him some fresh sea fish, shrimp, and crabs. He was probably busy, but Gu Ming only received it today, in a foam box. The address he gave to No. [-] Middle School was just delivered. Lou took it back, sweating from the heat.The business on weekdays is not as good as on weekends, but it is also busy. Put the foam box in the kitchen first, and Gu Ming is so busy that the students come to school at about two o'clock before they can sit down and drink.

The clerks gathered at a table for a late lunch. Gu Ming drank half a glass of ice water, took the foam box from the kitchen to the table and opened it. The ice pack inside the box was half melted, and the fish, shrimp and crabs were wrapped in fresh-keeping bags. After a rough search, there may be two catties of shrimp, and only a dozen or so crabs. As for the fish, Gu Min didn't recognize what kind of fish it was. There were three in total, and they looked fat. They all took them out and put them in the refrigerator, and threw the foam box into the trash can. Gu Ming called Cao Jiaxing.

It took a long time for someone to answer the call, and it was clear that he was eating, and he tapped his finger on the table. Gu Min asked, "Are you busy?"

"Busy, I just finished eating and I'm still at the pier!" The background sound was too noisy, it was full of wives and wives bargaining at the wharf, and there was the sea breeze, so Cao Jiaxing had to speak louder.

"I received the item, it's very fresh, but I don't want to send it in the future, it's too troublesome, I can just buy it in the market here if I want to eat." Cao's family has a boat, and they usually go to sea, get up at four or five o'clock, and get off the net at six o'clock , Repeated this twice before returning to the pier. Sell some of the seafood from the Internet, and leave the rest for online orders. Basically, after lunch, you have to pack and send it away immediately. It is very tiring. Every time you open the sea He always sent seafood to Gu Min, and he didn't listen to it no matter how many times.

"Hey yo tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tk

"She went home first, and the granny who helped take Yaya called and said that she was going to be numb, and she couldn't help crying. I will go back after I sell these, soon." He sighed, "It will be over in two years." I don’t sell fresh goods anymore, I’m too busy, and I sell some dried seafood. The grilled shrimp last time was delicious, and it’s the best seller in the store.”

"That's fine, I'll be with my daughter when I have time." Jiaxing is a single-parent family, and his mother has not survived cancer, so he has to take care of everything at home.

"It's time to open the sea. Now there is a lot of seafood here. If you have time, come and play. I will make a table of seafood for you to eat."

Gu Ming smiled, "I plan to go there after a while, but don't bother you, book a room at the nearby Ronghua Island, eat seafood during the day, and go back to the island to soak in hot springs in the afternoon." As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Xing was envious "Tsk tsk" twice, "It has developed well in the past two years, so close, I don't have time to go to the island to play."

"If you have money, you are afraid that you won't have time to play." Gu Ming joked, "It develops well there, and your seafood is also easy to sell."

"Yeah. Okay, let's not talk, I'm busy." Putting down the lunch box, Cao Jiaxing hung up the phone in a hurry, Gu Min looked at the darkened phone screen, shook his head and smiled.The clerk had almost eaten, and Gu Ming walked to the table, "Do you want to eat salt-baked shrimp and crab?" He is a generous boss, and he usually laughs a lot, so he is good at talking. As soon as he speaks, someone will respond immediately, yes The "boss" in charge of the store said, "You can eat whatever the boss does, right?"

"I don't want to eat salt baked ones, boiled ones or stewed ones are fine." Gu Ming put on a black apron and said with a smile, "But you have to make it yourself."

"No, no." Most of the shop's waiters are young girls, who like to joke, "We will be busy with customers later." Gu Ming is eight or nine years older than them, and understands their hard work at this age, "Okay, eat all of them." Salt baked."

Gu Ming learned all his cooking skills from his master. The master's surname is Chen, and he is not a local.After Gu Ming came back from the provincial capital, he met by chance. He worked as an apprentice under Master Chen for two years, and the hot pot restaurant under the plate was also inquired by the master for him. In the first two years, he took him hand in hand to run a restaurant.He was the last apprentice brought by Master Chen, and he was over 60 when he was brought out. After that, the old man retired and had a leisurely time. Gu Ming went to see him every weekend. Master Chen had a son who was picked up and adopted, and he didn’t learn to take drugs well. , after entering, it was Gu Ming who took care of him, he was regarded as half a son.

Master Chen's specialty dish is salt-baked chicken, and he handed over all the ten points to Gu Min, the same way as salt-baked shrimp and crab.It's not for sale, it's for the clerk to eat, so it's more casual, fry it in a pan with fine salt to remove the water, he also threw some scallions in it, the shrimp and crab have shells, so they don't worry about being salty when eating, so they don't need sandpaper wrapping Go in and arrange it, and simmer for 8 minutes on low heat, and the shrimp will be almost the same, and it will take longer for crabs.When it was time to cook, he took out the sea fish from the refrigerator and planned to take it to the master's house to stew later. The sea fish is rich in protein, less spines, thin and sweet, and it is good for the elderly.

After everything was done, he cleaned the kitchen again, and called the boss, "It's baked, let them eat later." He tore off two large fresh-keeping bags, "By the way, the two new vegetable cutters , the hands and feet are a bit slow, you can't win if you are busy, you have time to talk about them, don't be too serious."

The boss Gu Ming usually calls him Uncle Lin. The person introduced by his master is very safe in his forties. The remaining fish, Gu Ming, also packed it in a fresh-keeping bag and put it on the second floor of the refrigerator, " You take this one back and eat, and I took these two to the master's house to make today."

"Go later? It's only three o'clock."

"No, it will take about ten minutes to drive there at four o'clock in another hour."

At this point, the school is quiet. Gu Ming looked down from the kitchen window. There were rows of palm trees and coconut trees. Three vegetable cutters were preparing for the evening meal. He turned to greet them: "Baked shrimp And crabs, let’s go eat some, don’t be in a hurry.” After they went out, Gu Min washed his hands and continued to chop, he would cut vegetables and cook his own dinner every day, and he would not let his hands raw.

The streets in the city center were unobstructed after four o'clock in the afternoon. When waiting for the red light, he took out his mobile phone and checked WeChat. Liang An still didn't reply. He pouted and left the mobile phone in the passenger seat. Anyway, he has to go to Guangcun in two days.Master Chen lives in the Xinghe Community. When he was about to arrive, Gu Min called him. The other end was very noisy. He knew that the old man was playing chess with others in the park. If he guessed well, he might have lost several games. Gu Min It's almost here, just in time to have a chance to regret the game, clutching the receiver, "My son is here to cook for me, I have to go back first."

They are all old friends in the park. Knowing that he wants to play tricks, they said a few words of "tch", and said in succession: "Hui oh hui oh, I won't play with you in the future." Yes, Gu Min heard it funny, "There are two fresh sea fish sent by a friend, can you eat them with green onions?"

The old man was still muttering, and when he turned around to talk to Gu Min, Gu Min had already driven into the community, and he saw people walking back from a distance, and he repeated: "There are two fresh sea fish, and they will be cooked with green onions for you, okay?" ?” He put down the car window, the old man recognized his car, and trotted over with a smile, “Ah Ming.”

The first thing to do when getting in the car is to watch the fish, Gu Ming handed him the oil paper bag, "How is it?"

"Yes, it's fresh and fat, and the scallions are very fragrant." The old man took a paper towel to wipe his hands, and Gu Ming continued, "No, it was frozen shortly after the water came out."

Like a child, the old man hugged the oil paper bag in front of him, "Your mother called me again yesterday, saying she rejected another girl, why didn't you see me?" Gu Min's father died of illness when he was in high school, There is also an older sister who has been married for several years. Gu Min's nephew is five years old, and only Gu Min is single. In the past two years, she has been pressing harder and harder.

"If you don't want to see it, don't see it. There is no reason." Gu Ming laughed, "The store is so busy, there is no time to fall in love." He bought a house to live in, even if Gu's mother came to the store to remind him, he was not afraid. Big, he has his own ideas, he is the kind of child whose parents can't hold him back.

The old man is not easy to fool, "Busy ass, you found it yourself." Gu Min just smiled, "Why are you not busy, buying vegetables, processing ingredients, chopping vegetables... You have also opened a restaurant, you should know How busy." The old man himself was not married, so he wasn't as urgent as Gu's mother, but he was annoyed by receiving calls all the time, so he couldn't help laughing, "The mouth is so strong."
