Food Tycoon

The man walked around the stall on Yulu for several times, walked over, turned left less than 20 meters away, turned back, walked right less than 20 meters away, turned back again, and swung back and forth with precision like a pendulum. His eyes kept staring at his stall, but he just couldn't come over.

Yu Lu felt that the man was very strange, and he raised his vigilance. Could it be that he came to collect debts or seek revenge?I quickly looked around, and called out to my nephew who was playing near the breakfast stand: "A Bing, don't run away, come back to eat quickly!"

Four-year-old Xiao Douding Yu Bing stood up, threw the pebbles in his hands, threw his hands on his body, and ran over: "Abbe, I'm hungry, I want to eat kway teow."

Yu Lu said, "Go wash your hands. Fried or boiled?"

Yu Bing wiped his nose with his sleeve: "If you want kway teow soup, you need a lot of fish balls, so many." He also tried his best to draw a circle in the air with both arms, indicating the large number of fish balls.

Yu Lu raised his hand at Yu Bing, threatening him: "Stinky boy, don't wipe your nose with your sleeve, wipe it next time, I will kill you! You make it so dirty, who will wash it for you?"

Yu Bing didn't take his threat seriously, and skipped to wash his hands.

It was almost nine o'clock at this time, and there were fewer customers eating breakfast, and there was a couple eating kway teow soup.All the usual regular customers have been here, Yu Lu guessed that there were not many people coming, so he cooked two bowls of kway teow, one for himself and one for his nephew.After cooking, he looked up again to see the man who was acting strangely just now, but he was gone. He turned his head and searched around, and found that man was squatting next to the faucet with Yu Bing.The expression on Yu Lu's face changed, he threw away the things in his hands and rushed over, like a hen guarding its cubs, grabbed Yu Bing and protected him behind him: "Who are you? What do you want?"

The man looked up. This man had a well-defined face with thick eyebrows and a straight nose, but he looked good. His thin face was wet, and his chin was still dripping, but there was a big purple bruise on his forehead. , there is a three-centimeter-long bright red scar from the corner of the left eyebrow to the eyelid, which is still fresh, making him look a little hostile.He didn't speak, but looked at Yu Lu suspiciously with his dark eyes.

Yu Lu looked at the other party, a little short of breath, he swallowed, his throat slipped, and he backed up slowly to protect his nephew: "Who the hell are you and what do you want?" This person will not be the enemy of the eldest brother Yu Lin Come on, that bastard, get yourself into trouble.

The man said: "Boss, are you hiring?"

The voice was a little vague, like a big tongue, but Yu Lu heard it clearly, he almost slipped and fell to the ground, what's the matter, I'm a small stall on the street, and I still need to recruit workers!If he could afford workers, he would still set up a street stall!He threw down two hard words: "No!" After saying that, he dragged Yu Bing away in a hurry.

The rejected man looked at Yu Lu's back, reached out and wiped the drops of water on his chin, his eyes dimmed a bit, washed his hands under the faucet again, stood up slowly with his knees propped up, and an untimely "" Goo—” With a long cry, he bent down, turned on the faucet, and poured a few mouthfuls of tap water into it, as if this could relieve the pain caused by the spasm of the stomach wall.

Yu Lu also heard the sound, paused his footsteps, Yu Bing raised his hands and said, "Abo, I haven't washed my hands yet!"

Yu Lu had no choice but to drag Yu Bing back to the stall, scooped up the water in the bucket to wash his nephew's hands: "Hurry up and eat kway teow, there are a lot of fish balls for you."

Yu Bing sniffed and went happily.The little man was just a little taller than the table, climbed onto the stool with hands and feet, knelt on it and began to eat breakfast.The translucent and smooth kway teow, the hot clear soup with flakes of oil, the fried golden garlic, and the fat and round fish balls, decorated with a few green wolfberry leaves and a few green green onions, make the guests feel delicious. Yu Bing, who was hungry, had a big appetite. He lowered his head and took a sip of the soup first, then opened his mouth and exclaimed, "It's super cool!"

Yu Lu also washed his hands and came over to have breakfast. After breakfast, it was time to close the stall. He went back to prepare and left the stall around [-]:[-] in the morning to sell oysters.

Yu Bing took a few mouthfuls and swallowed a fish ball, his two bright black eyes rolled around, and then whispered to Lu, "Abo, is that person hungry?"

Yu Lu looked in the direction of his finger. The man he saw earlier was sitting by the curb, with his upper body lying on his lap, and his eyes were staring straight ahead. There were two wild dogs rummaging through the trash. of food residue.

Yu Lu said seriously: "Eat your food, don't worry about it so much!" When he said this, the man turned his head and bumped into Yu Lu's line of sight, and Yu Lu met his gaze. After a while, he was finally defeated first and looked away.He thought to himself, what's the matter with this person, he's so good-looking, how could he come to find a job from himself, he won't go to so many shops, what kind of job is he looking for with a peddler like himself, it's really weird.Don't you really have ulterior motives?

After a while, Yu Bing said again: "Abo, that man is so pitiful, he has no food to eat."

Yu Lu said, "How do you know that people have nothing to eat?"

Yu Bing said solemnly: "I saw him yesterday."

Yu Lu frowned: "Where did you see it? When?"

Yu Bing said: "I was playing at Ah Rong's house yesterday, and saw his grandfather calling that uncle a beggar and telling him to leave."

Yu Lu turned his head to look at the man in surprise. He was wearing a sky blue shirt, dark gray suit pants, and a pair of leather shoes on his feet. His body was indeed a little dirty, as if he hadn't showered or changed his clothes for a few days.What the hell is going on with this guy, was he robbed?It looks a bit like it, and there are injuries on the face, so you should call the police, or call your family and friends to pick it up.

Yu Bing looked up at Yu Lu: "Abo, let's feed that uncle."

Yu Lu looked at his nephew's innocent and kind eyes, and sighed in his heart, you know how to sympathize with others, but who will sympathize with us?But I couldn't bear to let my nephew down, alas, let's do a good deed that day, thinking of this, I got up and went to eat kway teow.People in the southeast call food made of rice flour, flour or sweet potato flour "kueh". Kway teow is made of rice flour, etc. made into paste or steamed or baked into thin slices.

Yu Lu saw Yu Bing put down his chopsticks, Ma Liu got off the table, then ran to the man with small steps and said something, the man raised his head and looked at Yu Lu, Yu Lu glanced at him, no Talking, looked down at the meatballs almost, then put the kway teow into the water, when the water rolled over, fished out, scooped up the meatballs, put wolfberry leaves, sprinkled green onion, poured soup and Garlic, a big bowl full, brought to the table.

Yu Bing was still talking to the man, and he didn't intend to come over, so Yu Lu had no choice but to walk over and said, "I'm not hiring, please have breakfast."

The man tilted his head and looked at Yu Lu: "I work, I don't need money, just give me food." He spoke very slowly, and his articulate words were still slurred.

Yu Lu looked at the other person's eyes, and he didn't mean to beg for mercy. He was just asking for his own opinion. He felt a little strange. This person's temperament didn't look like a beggar at all: "What's wrong with you? Why don't you go home ?” Seeing that he is also an adult, he shouldn’t be younger than me, so he shouldn’t run away from home at such an old age.

The man frowned hard, then lowered his head again: "I don't know, I forgot."

Yu Lu felt even more suspicious: "Then what's your name?"

The man raised his head, looked at Yu Lu, moved his mouth, but shook his head without saying a word.There was a very strange expression on Yu Lu's face, no way, did this person lose his memory, or did he have a brain problem?

Yu Bing said from the side: "Uncle, eat."

It was only then that Yu Lu remembered this: "Eat first, let's talk later."

The man finally stood up and followed Yu Lu to the table. Yu Lu cooked him a big bowl of kuey teow with three fish balls and three beef balls in it. People swallow their saliva.Yu Lu brought him a pair of chopsticks, he sat down, looked at Yu Lu, said "thank you", then lowered his head, took a big mouthful of soup, then stuffed a beef ball into his mouth, and swallowed it whole Going in, he choked so hard that he stretched his neck.Seeing his distressed appearance, Yu Bing laughed happily.

Yu Lu, who was cleaning up the dishes, heard Yu Bing's laughter, turned his head, and saw that the man was choked up in a panic, and tears came out.The man quickly drank the soup, touched his chest, hiccupped, and finally swallowed the ball, but the choking just now was enough for him to suffer.I don't know if I haven't eaten for a few days, I must be starving.

Yu Lu called out to his nephew: "A Bing, come and help A Bo." To be honest, he was a little afraid that this man was a lunatic, and it would be difficult to deal with Yu Bing's injury in case of a sudden attack.Yu Bing heard his words and ran to Yu Lu's side.

Yu Lu didn't really ask his nephew to help with the work. He collected the bowls and chopsticks and came over. The man had already eaten more than half of the bowl of kway teow. Although the speed was not slow, the appearance of eating was not ugly, and his education should be pretty good. Of course, look You can tell by his clothes. Although the clothes are a little dirty, they are not the kind of things bought at the roadside stalls.Rather than believing that this person is a lunatic, he is more inclined to believe that this person has amnesia, and lunatics generally do not come to their small island.Was it because he was robbed and beaten and lost his memory, or for some other reason?As for his companion, he couldn't have come alone.

When Yu Lu put away the bowls and chopsticks and came over, the man had already finished eating, and even drank the soup, which showed that he was very hungry.Seeing Yu Lu holding the bowls and chopsticks, he quickly stood up and walked over with his own bowls and chopsticks.Yu Lu put all the dishes and chopsticks in a big plastic basin, scooped up hot water and began to wash the dishes. The man rolled up his sleeves and knelt down to help wash the dishes.

Yu Lu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say any words of rejection. To be honest, he also understood that as a man's self-esteem, the meanings of food and labor are completely different.From this point of view, he felt that this person would not be a lunatic.

Yu Bing also squeezed over to join in the fun, but Yu Lu slapped his hand back: "Don't come to play in the water!"

Yu Bing said, "I'm helping Uncle."

Yu Lu pushed him and said sternly: "Hurry up and play aside, don't make trouble, you beat me with a bowl yesterday, did you forget?"

Yu Bing looked up at the sky: "Yesterday I didn't grow up, but today I'm grown up and won't fight anymore."

Yu Lu shook his head amusedly: "If you grow up overnight, I won't have any problems."

When people were children, they always thought that they would grow up overnight. When they grow up, they will not be restricted by adults. They can eat whatever they want, go wherever they want, and buy whatever they like.But one day, the dream of the child who had longed to grow up finally came true, he grew up overnight, and entered an era where everything was independent, only to find that everything was involuntary and difficult. Only at this time did he know , It’s not a good thing to grow up overnight, especially at the cost of world collapse.

Thinking of this, Yu Lu couldn't help but sighed: "You bastard, you know nothing, what's so good about growing up?"

Yu Bing was scooping water to play, and said, "When you grow up, you will have money to spend."

Yu Lu couldn't help laughing: "Who gave you the money?"

Yu Bing said: "I earn it myself, and when I earn money, I will give it to Uncle to spend."

A happy smile appeared on Yu Lu's face: "If you have a conscience, you still remember Uncle."

The man had been washing the dishes slowly, silently, raising his head to look at Yu Lu and Yu Bing from time to time.Yu Lu washed the dishes, put them away in the basin, and then pushed the electric tricycle parked aside, loaded all the pots, pans, gas stoves and the like onto the tricycle, put away the table and table, and put them in the basin. Under the eaves of the house, it was covered with a piece of plastic paper. Yu Bing jumped over and climbed into the driver's seat of the tricycle: "Going home, Uncle? I'll drive today."

"You know how to fart, go to the side." Yu Lu squeezed his little butt aside.

The man had been helping silently just now, but now he looked at Yu Lu, hesitating to speak.Yu Lu looked back at the other party. Just now he knew to help wash the dishes, so he shouldn’t be crazy. If so, he didn’t go crazy at the moment: “Are you a tourist here? Whose house did you live in? You should go find yours. stuff, and then contact your family."

The other party shook his head: "I don't know, I forgot."

Yu Luxin said, he forgot so thoroughly, why didn't he forget how to eat? He found that the other party looked at him with longing, and reached out to wipe his forehead: "You should ask the police for help with this kind of thing, the police station Did you go?"

The other party was obviously a little surprised: "The police station?"

Yu Lu waved at him: "Come on, go to my house first, and I'll take you to the police station later when I'm free."
