I'm being watched by my good brother

In the end, the two bought a lot of ingredients, half of which were meat and half vegetables. The ingredients they bought before were also placed in the shop, so they didn't go back to the Hou Mansion this time, but went directly to the shop, worried that Hou Wenqing would sleep nervously. No problem, Chang Sheng decided to stay at the shop tonight, and cook more delicious food in the evening, so that he would have no time to be nervous.

There was only one room on the side of the shop, and Luzi had nowhere to sleep, so he was driven back to the Hou Mansion when it was getting dark.

In the brand-new kitchen, Hou Wenqing sat on a small bench with his sleeves rolled up and carefully washed the eggplants, "Are you going to make everything for tomorrow later?"

Chang Sheng, who raised the fire, turned his head and looked at Hou Wenqing, who had been washing a few eggplants over and over for several minutes, his eyes were full of helplessness, "There is no need to wash the eggplants, and tomorrow's food can be made first tonight, and warmed up tomorrow morning." Eat it hot."

"Okay, I'll help you." Hou Wenqing, who was forced to stop washing eggplants, looked around, trying to find something he could do. As soon as he stood up, Chang Sheng pushed him to sit down again.

Chang Sheng bent down to pick up the eggplant, "Sit down first, the food will be cooked later."

Hou Wenqing groaned, and had to settle down, but soon he couldn't stay idle anymore, stood up and walked to Chang Sheng who was cutting the eggplant, and felt itchy when he looked at it, "Let me cut it."

"Don't make trouble." Chang Sheng couldn't laugh or cry. Before Hou Wenqing couldn't help but grab the knife, he cut up all the eggplants. Pour the cut eggplants into the warm water that had just been boiled. Make some sauce and serve.

Chang Sheng went to adjust the sauce, Hou Wenqing had nothing to do, and after standing helplessly beside him for a while, he finally thought of what he could do now, "I'll go get a pen and paper, I can make the price list of these snacks tonight." good."

Knowing that it is best not to let Hou Wen relax now, Chang Sheng nodded, "Okay, in case someone asks tomorrow and doesn't know how to answer."

So Hou Wenqing happily left the kitchen and went to the room to get a pen and paper. He sat back on the small bench and opened the small book that he planned to keep accounts.

"Five Wen can buy five steamed buns."

Hou Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and then crossed out the five words just written on the notebook, "Then how do you sell it?"

Chang Sheng put the prepared sauce aside, turned over the eggplants in the pot with chopsticks, then walked up to Hou Wenqing and sat down, picked up the big eggplant on the side and showed it to him, "We'll buy this whole Eggplant costs three cents, so it must not be too expensive or too cheap."

"Five cents is still expensive..."

"Of course you don't think it's expensive." Chang Sheng fondled Hou Wenqing's soft hair with his hands that had dried off the water droplets. After being opened, he had to place it neatly on his lap. "Our customer is Ordinary people, for ordinary people, five cents is already very expensive, including the sauce, we can sell a whole eggplant for three cents, and a small portion of eggplant for one penny."

"Small portion of eggplant? How small?" Hou Wenqing wrote down what Chang Sheng said, and asked tangledly. Although tomorrow is free, you will be charged later. I don't know how much it is, and how to charge it then .

Chang Sheng held the eggplant and gestured with his fingers, dividing a large eggplant into four equal parts.

Hou Wenqing stared, "Isn't that more money than a whole eggplant?"

"Well, it's still a bit expensive for ordinary people to buy an eggplant for three pennies, but you can taste eggplants for one penny." After speaking, Chang Sheng stood up, walked to the stove, took a bowl and scooped up the boiled eggplant After getting up, he buried the fire again, and then went to wash his hands and began to peel the eggplant. "Both roasted loach and small dried fish can be ordered for five cents."

Hou Wenqing swallowed, and wrote down these two things. He turned his head and saw that Changsheng's eggplant had almost been peeled. He silently put down the pen and paper, stood up and went over.

Chang Sheng originally wanted to tell him about the prices of other foods, but when he turned his head and saw that his eyes were almost glued to the eggplant, he stopped talking dumbfounded, "You can eat it right away."

After speaking, he speeded up and peeled off the remaining eggplant skins, then drained the water, poured them all into the prepared sauce, and stirred them a few times with chopsticks to ensure that the eggplants were fully flavored.

He picked up a piece of eggplant and brought it to Hou Wenqing's lips, "Taste it."

Hou Wenqing couldn't wait to open his mouth and put the whole piece of eggplant into his mouth. His cheeks were instantly bulging, his eyes narrowed in satisfaction, and he said vaguely: "It's okay, add more chili, it's not spicy enough."

Chang Sheng then added some peppers, and asked Hou Wenqing to take the whole plate of eggplants to eat. Then he peeled a few potatoes and cut them into cubes. In the pot, put all the boiled and salted potatoes into it and fry them until they are golden. Put them in a large bowl, pour a little soy sauce and pepper, and sprinkle a little green onion.

Hou Wenqing, who was sitting at the table not far away, turned his head and looked eagerly at the fried potatoes in Chang Sheng's hand, with his red lips parted slightly, he said happily: "I think you have made the most correct decision in these years That’s why I opened this shop.”

Chang Sheng put the potatoes on the table, looked at Hou Wenqing eager to eat one, with a satisfied look on his face, raised the corners of his lips, and said warmly, "I think so too."

Neither of the two dishes was enough for Hou Wenqing to eat alone, so Chang Sheng went to fry a few more dishes, and finally sat on the chair and watched all the spicy dishes on the table, the corners of his mouth twitched, he even forgot to cook the rice, there was no rice mat Now, eating so many spicy dishes will definitely make my stomach feel uncomfortable.

Hou Wenqing's whole face turned red. Seeing Chang Sheng staring at the dishes and not speaking, he subconsciously looked at the dishes and then at the empty bowl in front of him, "Didn't you cook?"

"Hmm...forgot." Chang Sheng stood up and poured a glass of warm water for Hou Wenqing, "Wait for me at home, I'll go out for a while."

Hou Wenqing spoke fluently, and Chang Sheng walked so fast that Chang Sheng had already left the kitchen before he could ask what he was going out for.

Chang Sheng went out with two big bowls. It was too late to cook by himself at this time, so he had to go out and buy some from someone who cooked. Fortunately, at this time, everyone around was also cooking, and it cost a couple of dollars. Qian brought back two bowls full of fragrant white rice.

It took a total of less than 5 minutes. Hou Wenqing, who was sitting in the kitchen waiting for Chang Sheng to come back, heard the noise, turned his head and saw two large bowls of steaming rice in his hand, and stared in surprise. , "Where did you get that?"

"I bought it from someone nearby." Chang Sheng handed the bowl to Hou Wenqing, "Eat some first."

"how much is it?"

"One penny, one bowl."

Hou Wenqing was surprised again. He probably didn’t expect it to be so cheap. Eating it with rice really made his stomach feel better. The two of them worked out the prices of all the food while eating. After the sky completely darkened, Chang Sheng ordered a few. Kerosene lamps, clear the table and wash the dishes.

"Let me wash it!" Hou Wenqing rolled up his sleeves and volunteered to help.

Chang Sheng laughed out loud, "Don't drop the bowl."

"how is this possible……"

"I'll boil some water first."

There were still some sparks left in the fire, so it was easy to re-ignite the fire. Just after putting some firewood in, Hou Wenqing, who was standing aside just now, scooped a few ladles of water into the pot from one of the large water tanks nearby. Li, couldn't help laughing out loud, "I'm beginning to feel that I can afford you even if I have to live in the mountains in the future."

Hou Wenqing ignored him, picked up the rag and stared at the pot, ready to start washing the dishes when the water was warmer.Chang Sheng next to him saw his posture so strong, and didn't have the heart to stop him, so he just sat on the small bench and watched him, half a minute later, seeing that he didn't move, he reminded, "Try the water temperature, it should be almost ok. "

"I know." Hou Wenqing reached out to test the water temperature, and found that it was a bit hot, so he quickly picked up the bowl in the pot and began to wash it carefully.

After 3 minutes, Hou Wenqing finally put down the first bowl, and was about to put his hand into the pot and take another one out, when Chang Sheng, who had already stood up, quickly stopped him, "The water is hot, you stretch your hand now Go down, don't peel off the skin."

With a helpless face, Chang Sheng took a ladle to scoop up a few scoops of cold water and poured it into the pot, "Let me wash it, you go wash some potatoes, and fry some potatoes later."

Hou Wenqing, who was about to protest, heard that he was not idle, so he simply handed the rag to Chang Sheng. When he turned around and was about to leave, he took the clean bowl to show Chang Sheng, and said triumphantly, "How about it?" , it’s okay to wash it.”

Chang Sheng looked at the bowl that had been washed for 3 minutes, "It's very clean."

Hou Wenqing happily went to wash and scrape the potatoes, and Chang Sheng took over from him and continued to wash the dishes.

The two of them have been busy for several hours, and they have cooked a lot of food. The weather is not too hot now, and it is not afraid of spoiling everything after sealing it up on a plate.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Chang Sheng started to boil water, turned his head and saw Hou Wenqing was so sleepy sitting on the small bench that he was about to fall asleep, worried that he would fall asleep again, so he hurried over to take him away. Shaking to wake up, "Go back to the room first, I'll bring the water over when it's boiled."

Hou Wenqing nodded and got up and walked out of the kitchen. As soon as he entered the yard, he was shocked by the cold water. He fell asleep and ran away halfway. He lowered his head and sniffed the strong smell of oily smoke on his body. He turned a corner, went to the wooden chair placed in the yard and sat down.

The wooden chair is the kind that can shake gently, and it is very comfortable to sit on.

After boiling two pots of boiling water and bringing it into the room, and adding a lot of cold water, Chang Sheng stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, and when he felt that it was about the same, he poked his head out and called Hou Wenqing, who was sitting in the yard and was about to fall asleep, "Yes. Take a shower."

Hou Wenqing yawned and walked over. After entering the room and seeing the small bathtub, he couldn't help but miss the bathtub at home.

"You wash first, I'll go get the pen and paper back."

Hou Wenqing nodded, raised his hand and began to take off his clothes. Chang Sheng, who was about to go out, took half a beat of his footsteps. He stood there confidently and watched the scene of Hou Wenqing's fruit entering the water. Then he turned and went to the kitchen. After the ashes were covered, he went to get the paper and pen on the table and the price tag he made before turning to leave the kitchen.
