Luting Canteen

After making an appointment with Song Song, Yan Ting urged Ye Qi to brush his teeth and wash his face, reluctantly let go of Li Hui who was "very good to hug and rub," and Ye Qi walked slowly into Tang Meng's room. go.

Only now did Li Hui have time to take a closer look at the store.Seven bookshelves filled the three walls, and there was Tang Meng's small desk near the door. In addition to lamps and books, there were paper pens and several photo frames on the desk.Taking a closer look, there are four children in the photo frame at the front, two taller boys, and a little boy and a little girl standing in front of them.The little boy straightened his arms, held the hand of the tall boy who was smiling softly behind him and lifted it up. The little girl's eyes were almost closed, and she opened her mouth to smile, and she could still see a missing front tooth. The boy behind him held his hand Putting it on her head, she also smiled happily.

Infected by these smiling faces, Li Hui also smiled.

"Guess which one is Ye Qi?"

Yan Ting didn't know when he stood behind him, Li Hui quickly straightened up, and finally crashed into Yan Ting's arms.The latter simply pulled out the chair and sat down, patted his legs and told Li Hui to sit down too.Seeing the two of them looking at the photos, Tang Meng came over.

"I, I guess it's this."

Without any suspense, Li Hui pointed to the little boy.

"Which one is me?"

Yan Ting asked again.Li Hui then understood, this is what they looked like when they were young.I can't help but sigh that after taking a photo, I can not only look at it on my mobile phone, but also make it look like a picture.

"This is Mr. Tang, this is Mr. Tang."

"That's right, Li Hui is really powerful, how did you know that?"

Tang Meng laughed, Li Hui was a little embarrassed:

"Mr. Tang always smiles, always in a gentle and gentle way. Young master, when young master smiles, he tends to squint his eyes, and the left corner of his mouth will turn up, and the young master likes to touch people's heads."

After listening to Li Hui's words, Yan Ting stared at the back of that small head, and suddenly pressed his forehead against it.

"Young master?"

Unable to see Yan Ting's expression behind him, Li Hui worried if he said something unnecessary.But this time it was Tang Meng who laughed and rubbed his head:

"Li Hui is very observant."

Feeling happy in his heart, Li Hui thought about it and asked again:

"Who is that little girl?"

"It's my sister."

Turning around, Li Hui looked at Yan Ting with wide eyes:

"Young master has a younger sister?"

No wonder the two people seem to feel a bit alike but can't tell where.

"She lives with my parents, not with us, far away."

Li Hui nodded, and suddenly looked forward to seeing Yan Ting's younger sister, and also wanted to see what Yan Ting's parents looked like.

"What are you looking at?"

After Ye Qi finished washing his face, he tied up his hair and went into the store. Seeing the three people getting together very affectionately, he hurriedly opened his arms frantically to hug him, but was slapped by Yan Ting.

"Uncle Tang, boss hit me."

"Boss is not young anymore, he can only complain."

"I said it in front of you, it's not a complaint."

Yan Ting glanced at him, Ye Qi immediately apologized with a smile:

"I'm afraid that if I don't go to the doctor, it's not good for you to pay me a lot of medical expenses, boss."

"Since I want to pay, why don't you come over and satisfy me?"

Li Hui couldn't help laughing when he heard this, Ye Qi leaned over and said:

"Xiao Lihui, do you want to hear something interesting?"

"......Thought."

"Then let me tell you, do you know why your young master braids your hair?"

Li Hui didn't find it strange to describe the description "your young master".In his heart, "your son" seems to mean "your husband" and "your master", they are all the same, but it is "your son" who glanced at the smug Ye with a strange expression. A look at the flag.Tang Meng knew that he was going to talk about his childhood, so he simply sorted out the rest of the books aside.

"In the past, Yan Zi, Yan Zi was the younger sister of the boss, about the same age as me, and she will be 23 this year," Ye Qi saw Yan Ting leaning back on the chair, knowing that now he could say whatever he wanted, so he simply sat down Speaking at the table:

"Yan Zi is a little girl, she likes to wear braids and flowers, but your son's parents are very busy, and they are often not at home. Grandpa Yan, even your son's grandfather, is not She knows how to tie her hair, so your young master’s younger sister went to ask Uncle Tang for help, Uncle Tang did it once, and it was called one, it’s ugly.”

Giving the evaluation unceremoniously, Ye Qi felt happy when he saw Tang Meng's shoulders shrank obviously.

"Then, can Mr. Tang's mother help Miss Yan Zi?"

"Uh, that's a good question."

Ye Qi was choked up by Li Hui's serious question, and Yan Ting gave him a gloating expression.

Everyone knows that Yan Zi likes Tang Meng. Ye Qi didn't want to remind him again in front of Tang Meng, so he waved his hand:

"Then what, Uncle Tang's mother, she doesn't like braiding other people's hair."

The reason for such a rotten home can only be coaxed by Li Hui who doesn't understand the situation.Seeing that he had passed away, Ye Qi continued vividly:

"Where did you say it? Oh yes, it's just ugly. That braid is really ugly. I'm so unhappy when your son sees it. Your son is a sister-in-law."

"Sister, sister control?"

Tang Meng couldn't help laughing, Yan Ting picked up a pen and was about to throw it over, knowing that he was just pretending, Ye Qi didn't hide, thinking how to explain to Li Hui, he folded his arms:

"To put it simply, it's what you like so much, so it's called control. Come on, little Lihui, let's review it again. The boss likes Yan Zi very much. Yan Zi is the boss's younger sister, so the boss is—?"

Making a gesture of "please answer the question", Ye Qi waited for Li Hui's answer.

"Sister, sister control!"

After figuring out the meaning of "control", Li Hui immediately gave the answer.Tang Meng laughed "hahaha" this time, Yan Ting pointed the pen at Ye Qi again, Ye Qi put his palms together, and said with a suppressed smile:

"That's right, that's it, so your son, in order to make beautiful braids for his beloved sister, he is holding a Barbie, um, it's a kind of doll with fake hair on it, the one I wear, practice, That's a serious one! He also asked the female students in the class to teach him—”

Yan Ting knew that Ye Qi would not let go of any opportunity to talk about his past, so he let it go.However, thinking of Yan Zi going to school with Tang Meng’s braids when he was a child, and returning home almost crying, the words of Yan Zi, who was still a little girl at that time, would appear in Yan Ting’s mind:

——I'm not angry because they laugh at my messy hair!They, they didn't know that it was the braid Tang Meng made for me seriously, so why would they tear it up!I still want to go home and say thank you to Brother Tang Meng!

At that time, I didn't know what my sister was thinking. I just wanted to replace my busy mother to help my sister comb her hair neatly and beautifully, and make a braid to make the little girl look cuter.

Besides, Don Mongo's braids are really fucking ugly.To mess with my sister, yes, the same as when I first saw the little guy, that was a mess.

Thinking of Li Hui, Yan Ting came back to his senses, only to realize that he had already stood in front of him.

"Young master," the little guy looked at himself very seriously, "Young master is a good brother, thank you, and helped me tie my hair."

Hearing these words, Yan Ting put the pen back on the table and patted Li Hui on the head.

A few people taught Li Hui to read some characters again. When the time was almost up, Tang Meng closed the shop, and everyone went for a walk to Lanze together holding an umbrella.On the way, when Grandpa Fu came back from shopping, several people greeted him and told Grandpa Fu not to slippery when walking.

"Are you taking your brother out together?"

Grandpa Fu asked with a smile. Li Hui was a little embarrassed to be called "brother" but secretly happy.

"Go to Song Song's for dinner, have you finished shopping? Is grandma feeling better?"

"It's much better, much better. I also said that I'm going to eat Xiao Yanxiang's fried dishes in a few days."

Yan Ting smiled and said that he was waiting for Grandma Fu to come. Grandpa Fu was very happy. He smiled and said a few more words and the group continued on their way.After crossing the road and turning again, we arrived at Lanze in a short while.

Everyone put away the umbrellas and put them in the umbrella bucket at the door, Li Hui followed them into the store, and found that it felt very different from Luting.Lanze store is not big, but very elegant.There are two curtains hanging on the door, with the word "Lanze" written on it, and there are foliage plants that have grown very tall in the store.

"Yo, are you all here?"

Song Song came out from the kitchen at the back, and greeted loudly while wiping his hands:

"Old Bai went to get the wine, I'll be back later, you sit down first."

"You are busy with your work,"

Because they are very familiar, Yan Ting is not polite to him:

"It's still the usual dish, by the way, add fried crispy meat."

Song Song glanced at Li Hui and said with a smile:

"Is it for brother Tang Meng? Does the little guy eat spicy food?"

"eat."

Answering on behalf of Li Hui, Yan Ting remembered again:

"By the way, can I show him the kitchen?"

"Come on."

When Li Hui heard this, he quickly stood up, and Ye Qi also wanted to join in the fun, but Tang Meng pressed his shoulders, so he obediently sat beside him.

"Come, come, take a look."

Song Song is a very straightforward person, with a straight face, a mustache, and a carefree speech.Li Hui followed Yan Ting in, his eyes widened as soon as he entered.

In this kitchen, kitchen utensils and condiments are neatly hung on the wall or placed on wooden shelves, and the bottles containing the condiments are also uniform glass bottles with labels.The refrigerator, oven, and cooking table are all silver. Although the metal texture is a bit cold, it makes the kitchen look more tidy.

"Does it not match his feelings?"

Yan Ting lowered his head and asked Li Hui.

"Old Yan, what do you mean?"

"literal meaning."

"Cooperating with my image should be in the greasy kitchen, right? Let me tell you, I arranged these all by myself. Brother Tang Meng, come here, do you want to play? Look, you Uncle Song There are many things here that this person doesn’t have.”

"Who is taking advantage of? Uncle."

"I don't think he looks too small."

Song Song was not annoyed, and scratched the back of his head with a smile.

"Hey, brother Tang Meng, do you want to try my knife? I just bought it back at a huge price."

Song Song, who was originally a professional chef, has a fanatical love for kitchen utensils. As long as he sees something that is very satisfactory, he will buy it back if he saves money.

Li Hui felt a little itchy, but he still stood beside Yan Ting without making a sound.Yan Ting said softly to him, "Go and try it", before moving away.

Song Song brought him a ceramic thin cutting board, and found a piece of white radish for him to try.Li Hui took the knife and weighed it first, and found that the blades were not of the same thickness, and the weight of the handle and the blade was just right. Li Hui pressed the radish carefully and tried a few knives first. Song Song saw that he was cutting cautiously. ,said laughingly:

"Practice more, kid—"

Before the word "friend" was pronounced, Li Hui was already skillfully chopping the carrot.Yan Ting, who had seen Li Hui cook, bent his mouth and looked at the surprised Song Song. When Li Hui stopped the knife, Song Song picked up a piece and opened his mouth wide:

"My dear mother, brother Tang Meng, your saber skills are really incredible, incredible."

Those radishes are sliced ​​like gauze, and you can see shallow fibers in each slice, soft and light.

"Y-the master made Dao Yuwu soup in the past, and this kind of flakes should be put in it. And, yes, this blade is very powerful."

"Yes, yes, you really know the goods! This is a special design, I just took a fancy to it! By the way, brother Tang Meng, who is your master? Where is he now?"

The apprentice's sword skills are so powerful, how can the master's be repaid?Song Song was eager to see him right away, Li Hui realized that he might have said something wrong, and was anxious to explain, Yan Ting said flatly:

"His master has passed away."

Both Song Song and Li Hui were taken aback.

"Ah, this, I'm sorry, Brother Tang Meng."

Apologizing clumsily, Song Song studied those radish slices again, nodding while looking at them.Li Hui remembered that this place was more than 900 years later, and that all the people in Hengle Building had indeed disappeared. He didn't know what to say for a while, and stood there in a daze.
