Zhong Yanhong was injured and hospitalized. Haibawang took care of all three meals. Haixuan personally cooked every meal for him to cook soup and porridge in different ways. Yu Lu knew that although he didn't say anything, he still cared about Zhong Yanhong as a friend. of.

Yu Lu joked in a low voice, "If I didn't know that you were still sleeping in my bed every day, I would have thought you were cheating."

Hai Xuan stopped what he was doing, turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at him: "Are you coming?"

Yu Lu waved his hand: "Come on. Seeing that Boss Zhong blocked the stick for the mouse, I will admit that you treat him better."

Haixuan said: "I cook for him because he is our friend and has helped us a lot, not because he saved Officer Liu."

Yu Lu nodded: "Oh." Since he knew Zhong Yanhong, he has indeed helped him a lot. He helped himself because he is a friend of Mouse, so he really has to thank him.

"By the way, he should be discharged from the hospital. He has been here for three days." Yu Lu asked.

Haixuan said, "I don't know."

Liu Hao poked his head in through the window of Chuancai: "Ah Lu."

The people inside hurriedly opened the door for him. The kitchen is generally a forbidden area. Except for the cook, no one else is allowed to enter. When I was at the shop on Fisherman's Street last time, I was almost teased by someone. Now they dare not casually The kitchen door was opened and let in.In order to prevent internal discord, four cameras were installed in the kitchen to monitor without dead ends to ensure safety.

Yu Lu said, "Off work?"

Liu Haoyang was wearing a uniform, with his hat tucked under his armpits, and his hair was still damp with sweat: "Well, is the soup ready?"

Yu Lu looked at Haixuan: "Is heal soon?"

Haixuan put out the fire: "That's it."

Liu Haoyang said, "What kind of soup is it today?"

"Raw fish wolfberry soup."

Liu Haoyang laughed: "Finally there are fish, I am almost annoyed by that guy, every time he argues with me to eat seafood. Can he eat it in that situation!"

"When will he be discharged from the hospital? I went to see him yesterday, and he seems to be fine." Yu Lu asked.

Liu Haoyang said: "He didn't go to the hospital, he said he would follow the doctor's advice and sleep for seven days, the hospital is almost my home. I think he just stayed there on purpose, pretending!" Liu Haoyang felt that Zhong Yanhong must be pretending to be sick, pretending to be amnesia, pretending to be addicted Now, to win his sympathy, sometimes he really wanted to leave that guy alone.

Haixuan said leisurely: "If you move to his place, he will be willing to leave the hospital."

Liu Haoyang felt very embarrassed. Zhong Yanhong did mention it a few times, but he didn't agree. He has been living at home all this time, and suddenly wants to move out. How can he tell his parents that if they think he has a girlfriend, they force him to He handed over a girlfriend, and things became troublesome.

Haixuan gave him the packed lunch box: "Just say that you won't bring him lunch tomorrow, and he won't be able to lie down."

Liu Haoyang sneered: "Forget it, please help me cook for two more days, and I will thank you very much later."

Yu Lu shook his head, to put it bluntly, he was still reluctant.

Hai Xuan said: "It's easy to say, wait for Boss Zhong to get well later, and ask him to help me find a house."

"Are you going to buy a house again, open a restaurant or live in a house?" Liu Haoyang asked.

Yu Lu said: "Live, the house is too narrow now, it's a bit crowded."

"Okay, I'll go talk to him."

Zhang Yuan quickly finished the high school entrance examination, and within two days, Zhang Dan also finished the junior high school entrance examination, and when Yu Nan's college entrance examination results were announced, Yu Lu realized that there were actually three graduates in his family this year.Fortunately, the little one, Yu Bing, hasn't graduated yet.

On the day when Yu Nan came out with his grades, Zhong Yanhong, who had been sitting in the hospital with a sour face, was finally discharged. This guy lay in the hospital for several days, nourished by Haixuan's soup, his whole body was radiant, and he didn't look like a patient at all.Liu Haoyang, on the other hand, looked haggard and lack of energy because he was running around and working hard every day.

The first thing Zhong Yanhong did after he was discharged from the hospital was to go to Haibawang to celebrate: "Hurry up and serve me the food, the whole pig and the whole cow, I can swallow an earth now."

Liu Haoyang kicked behind him: "Don't embarrass me, can you?"

Zhong Yanhong said: "These days I can only drink soup and porridge. I am starved to death. Now I can finally stop eating. Are you still allowed to eat?"

"Who won't let you eat? Order carefully!" Liu Haoyang said.

Zhong Yanhong took the menu: "Roast suckling pig, overlord duck, Buddha jumps over the wall, braised whole goose, one serving of each."

The waiter suppressed a smile and said, "Except for braised goose, everything else needs to be ordered in advance. If you order now, you can only eat it at night."

Zhong Yanhong ran outside the kitchen, poked his head in through the delivery window and yelled, "Boss Hai, is the efficiency of your restaurant not good enough? It's okay to order something!"

Liu Haoyang pulled him away, and said to the inside: "This person is crazy, don't pay attention."

Yu Lu came out of the kitchen: "Boss Zhong has been discharged from the hospital, congratulations!"

Zhong Yanhong raised his chin: "There is no sincerity at all. Overlord duck, Buddha jumps over the wall, roast suckling pig, whatever you want! What else can you eat in your store?"

Liu Haoyang couldn't help kicking him from behind again: "Your brain was really broken?"

Yu Lu said with a smile: "It's too late to make Buddha jump over the wall for you now, let's eat it at night, and eat something at noon. Anan's grades are out today, let's celebrate together in the evening."

Zhong Yanhong said: "Do you have the results of the college entrance examination? How did you do?"

"I didn't come out until four o'clock in the afternoon. I don't know yet."

"Where's that kid, Anan?" Zhong Yanhong looked around.

Yu Lu said, "Going to learn how to drive."

"Hey, that kid is quite calm and promising. He must have done well in the exam." Zhong Yanhong said with a smile.

Yu Lu said: "What to eat at noon, I bought a batch of fresh lotus leaves in the past few days, Ah Hai made beggar's chicken, and I will make you a steamed lotus leaf fish, what else do you want?"

"Beggar's chicken? I haven't eaten A Hai's, this one is good." Zhong Yanhong looked greedy.

Liu Haoyang said: "One more vegetable and soup is enough."

"Have another braised goose and a cold seafood platter, it's almost done." Zhong Yanhong added.

Liu Haoyang said: "You can't eat seafood yet, bear with me!"

Zhong Yanhong said: "It's ready, let's have it, it's a hot day, how can you have an appetite if you don't eat something cold."

"Who just said that you can eat an earth?" Liu Haoyang scorned him fiercely.

Yu Lu couldn't help laughing: "Sit down first, Xiao Zhu, and serve tea here. I'll go in first and get busy."

In the past two days, the shop has been making beggar chicken and lotus leaf fish, and the whole kitchen is filled with the fragrance of lotus leaves, which makes people feel refreshed.It takes a long time to make beggar chicken. They have to prepare it in advance so that they can be served in time. Therefore, they are limited to release every day. There are only [-] beggar chickens per meal, and those who come later will not be able to eat.There are a lot of phone orders these days, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat beggar's chicken if it's too late.

At the moment, Ah Hai is making beggar's chicken, a tender hen that has not laid eggs, the chicken is killed, the feathers are taken out, the internal organs are taken out, and the large skeleton of the chicken is removed. Seasoning, rub into the chicken, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for an hour to make it fully tasty.

The traditional beggar's chicken is wrapped in soil, but now dough is used instead of soil, and the dough is made with white wine and water.Take out the marinated chicken, spread five-spice powder and pepper, stuff the onion, shredded mushroom, ginger, etc. mixed with the marinated chicken seasoning into the chicken belly, then wrap it with lotus leaves, and roll the dough into Dough slices, wrap the chicken completely, put it in the oven, and bake at 160 degrees for 80 minutes.When taking it out, knock open the outer shell, and the beggar chicken exuding the fragrance of lotus leaves and the strong aroma of chicken is out of the oven. The chicken is crispy, tender and smooth, and the mouth is smooth.

The method of steaming lotus leaf fish is much simpler than beggar chicken. Yu Lu took a grouper, killed it now, cut the fish into pieces, and marinated it with cooking wine, refined salt, oil consumption, sugar, pepper, peanut oil, sesame oil, etc. For 10 minutes, shred the ham, shiitake mushrooms, ginger, etc., and spread them on the lotus leaves. Spread the marinated fish meat, fish head, fish tail, etc. on the ham and shiitake mushrooms, and then steam in a boiling steamer for 5 minutes That's it.

The lotus leaf fish is very fresh and tender, and has the fragrance of lotus leaves. Compared with the ordinary steamed grouper, it has a different taste.

The meal at noon caused Zhong Yanhong to scream, and he was so satisfied that he continued to eat beggar chicken in the evening.Yu Lu said: "I don't eat chicken at night, I eat Bawang duck."

"Okay, Bawang Duck is good. I have eaten it in Haijixian before. I heard that it is the treasure of their town store. The taste is super good. Last time I accompanied you to Guangzhou, I also ate it once. It is not the same as before. , the most authentic ones are probably only available at Haibawang.”

Liu Haoyang said: "I didn't realize it before, so you are so good at eating. You are purely a foodie!"

"That means you don't know me well enough. I love you the most, followed by food." Zhong Yanhong said frankly in front of the crowd.

Liu Haoyang almost jumped up and blocked his mouth, but the words had already been spoken, and there was no way to block him back, but only the employees of Haibawang were heard, because when they said this, they were already in Haibawang's office. In the kitchen.

The chefs and assistants around all turned their heads to look at Zhong Yanhong and Liu Haoyang. Liu Haoyang almost found a crack in the ground and got under.

Zhang Yiwei laughed: "Brother Hong, you are really a man, I admire you!"

Zhong Yanhong said boldly: "Of course, sir, I dare to love, dare to hate, dare to love, dare to admit, it's not shameful to love a man, and it doesn't hinder anyone, right?"

Liu Haoyang lost all expression on his face. He opened the kitchen door and walked out. Zhong Yanhong saw that something was wrong and hurried to catch up: "Haoyang, don't go alone, wait for me."

Yu Lu looked at their backs and at the silent employees in the room, not knowing whether to admire Zhong Yanhong's courage or to scold him for being reckless.Liu Haoyang has obviously accepted him, but if he wants to come out in public so obviously, he probably hasn't prepared himself mentally.

Yu Lu said: "Everyone should just listen to what Boss Zhong said just now, and don't spread it around. No one can take responsibility for what happened." Mom, that's not going to make the two old people panic.

The chefs nodded.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Nan began to log on to the website to check his results. Yu Lu was as nervous as his younger brother. He stared at the computer screen with rounded eyes.However, this process was a difficult and tormenting process. After 10 minutes of continuous input, query and refresh, the college entrance examination score was finally obtained: 588 points.As soon as Yu Lu saw this result, he hugged his younger brother: "Ah Nan, that's great, congratulations!" Then he turned around and hugged Hai Xuan behind him, "Ah Hai, did you see that? Anan Kao Going to college."

Haixuan patted the back of the road with his hand: "I see, Anan is doing well."

Yu Bing said from the side: "Abo, I want to hug you too."

Only then did Yu Lu realize that all his younger brothers and sisters were present, so he hugged Haixuan so forgetfully, so he quickly let go of his arms, hugged Yu Bing, and rubbed his head vigorously: "Ah Bing, did you see No, Uncle is admitted to university, isn’t he very good? You have to study hard in the future and then go to university.”

Yu Bing doesn't understand this at all, but he knows how to cater to everyone: "Abbe, I want to go to college too!"

Yu Lu happily kissed him on the face suddenly, showing a joyful smile.

The two younger sisters were also very happy standing aside, Yu Lu said: "You two should also study hard, as long as you are admitted to university, the eldest brother will definitely send you there."

Both Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dan nodded vigorously.

Compared to the elated Yu Lu, Yu Nan seemed calmer: "Brother, the lines haven't been divided yet, so I don't know what line to get on."

Yu Lu comforted his younger brother happily: "Don't worry, with such a high score, last year's first line was only 550, and this score will definitely make it to the next level."

Yu Nan's score was not high, but it was definitely not low either.After the employees of Haibawang knew the results, they all ran over to congratulate.

Yu Nan thanked him, and humbly said that he might not have done well in the exam, but the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, obviously satisfied with the result.

Yu Lu hurriedly dragged Haixuan to the kitchen to prepare today's dinner. This was a great event. The Yu family finally gave birth to the first college student. Isn't it worth celebrating?He has a sense of accomplishment that his hard work has finally paid off, and he is so happy that he is a little lost.

Haixuan watched him wandering around in the kitchen, either looking for this or that. He was still in a state of uncontrollable excitement and it was difficult to concentrate.There was a faint smile on the corner of Haixuan's mouth. He could understand his feelings very well. After persisting for so many years, he finally saw the harvest. Could he not be happy?

Haixuan saw that he was in a hurry, so he simply said to him: "You rest, I'll come."

Yu Lu breathed a sigh of relief, put down his work, and took out his mobile phone to call Liu Haoyang: "Mouse, my brother passed the exam, with a score of 588. Come over for dinner at night, and Ah Hai made a king duck. Are you not coming? Why? There is nothing to be ashamed of, no one said anything, I have told them not to gossip everywhere. You come, you must come, come with Boss Zhong. "

Liu Haoyang said: "I won't call him, you tell him yourself."

Yu Lu realized that these two people were having a fight: "Alright then, I'll call Boss Zhong. You must come."

I called Zhong Yanhong and learned that Liu Haoyang was having a fight with him. Yu Lu told him that he shouldn't speak out in front of everyone regardless of Liu Haoyang's feelings. He is a public official, and this kind of thing will affect him. Besides, Liu's father and Liu mother didn't ventilate beforehand, if it got to their ears, wouldn't that worry the old people, etc.Zhong Yanhong nodded repeatedly to admit his mistake, saying that he would come to Haibawang to make amends to Liu Haoyang at night.

After Yu Lu hung up the phone, he hesitated whether to call the two aunts and tell them that he would do something for his brother for nothing else. They were old at home without the help of their relatives, and they still turned around. Stand up again.After thinking about it, I still didn't fight in the end. For this kind of thing, it's better for my own people to be happy, and I don't need to talk about irrelevant people.

Later, the score line came out. The first line was 560 points. Now that the dust had settled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Yu Nan was so happy that he never opened his eyes. Finally, his wish came true.

In the evening they reserved a private room upstairs, and the whole family celebrated with Zhong Yanhong and Liu Haoyang.Ah Hai and Yu Lu handed over the kitchen to the other chefs. He didn't intend to invite the staff in the store to dinner now, saying that it was the same as when Nan's university notice arrived and he would celebrate with everyone.The employees of Haibawang understand very well. The scores have just come out, the volunteers have not been filled out, and there is no notification letter. It is far from the time to celebrate with great fanfare.

The dishes in the evening were very rich. Zhong Yanhong was clamoring to eat Buddha Jumping Wall, Roast Suckling Pig, and Bawang Duck. The Bawang Duck was launched in Haibawang after Haixuan returned to Haijia, and he had never made it before.Probably because the Overlord Duck is the treasure of Haijixian's town store and is so famous, he doesn't want to expose his whereabouts and let the Hai family disturb his current life.

Because the production process of this dish is too complicated and time-consuming, ordinary restaurants rarely make it. Haijixian is a restaurant that specializes in seafood, but it uses a duck as the finale, which shows the uniqueness of this duck.

Bawang Duck is made from free-range ducks raised in farms, and the size does not exceed three catties, so that it will not be too fat. After the ducks are slaughtered, all the bones are removed, and lotus seeds, lilies, gorgon seeds, mung beans, chestnuts, ham, and salted egg yolk are mixed , scallops, scallops and other materials are stuffed into the duck's stomach, stitched with toothpicks, fried in a [-]-[-] degree oil pan until golden brown, then fished out the duck, put it in a casserole, and filled it with star anise, Spices such as cinnamon, cloves, grass fruit, etc., put them in a steamer, steam for four to five hours, and then they can be out of the pot.

Bawang Duck is crispy, soft and tender. The stuffing in the duck's stomach absorbs the sweetness of the duck meat, while retaining its original fragrance and unique taste. It really deserves the title of Bawang Duck.

Liu Haoyang was still angry with Zhong Yanhong at first, but now in front of everyone, with so many delicacies, it is not easy to get angry, so he just concentrates on eating bitterly.Zhong Yanhong would pick up a dish for him from time to time, but after staring at him many times to no avail, he could only silently eat all the dishes.

While eating, Zhong Yanhong asked, "By the way, where is my geoduck?"

Yu Lu laughed: "You still remember this. We ate it and gave half to your old man."

Zhong Yanhong sighed: "The things in my car were broken, but in the end we didn't eat it ourselves."

"I'll pay you one next time." Hai Xuan said flatly.

"Really? It's from North America!" Zhong Yanhong said.

Hai Xuan didn't raise his head: "Understood."

Zhong Yanhong gave a thumbs up: "Ah Hai is the most interesting."

"Hmph, I think you remember everything. You even told me that you lost your memory, you're lying!" Liu Haoyang sneered.

The expression on Zhong Yanhong's face immediately became exaggerated: "I just remembered it when I was eating. If I remembered, I would have asked them to cook it for you, and it would be their turn? I swear, I am definitely not lying to you about my amnesia !" At the beginning, it was true that there was some memory confusion, but after two days, it will be fine, just pretending to have amnesia, can win more love from Liu Haoyang.

Liu Haoyang rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Everyone was satisfied with this meal, especially the two younger sisters. Although they usually also eat in the restaurant, it is the first time to eat a big meal like this. It is the first time to eat roast suckling pig, Bawang duck, Buddha Jumping Wall, etc. I was so shocked that I couldn't even speak.

That night, the adults all drank a lot of wine, even Yu Nan drank a lot. Yu Lu had quit drinking, but he still drank the wine that his younger brother toasted him. Everyone said that this glass should be drunk, Yu Lu He drank it happily.

The next day, they got up later than usual. The younger ones didn't need to go to school anymore, they could sleep whenever they liked, and the older ones were the bosses, so they could go whenever they wanted.

At seven o'clock, Yu Lu was taking a shower when he received a call from Zhao Xiaoyang: "Brother Lu, someone came to the store to look for you and said it was your mother."

Yu Lu frowned, and almost swallowed the toothpaste froth in his mouth: "Got it, I'll come over later."

He hung up the phone, finished washing in a hurry, and said to Zhang Yuan who was making breakfast in the kitchen: "Yuanyuan, mom is here, do you want to go and see her?"

Zhang Yuan paused with the hand holding the pot lid: "Brother, I want to go back and get something."

"Well, let's go together by the way and wake up Dandan too." Yu Lu thought that he might as well transfer his household registration back. This matter will have to be done sooner or later.

Yu Lu thought for a while, then pushed open Yu Nan's bedroom door: "A'nan, do you want to get up and see someone?"

Yu Nan opened his eyes with difficulty: "Who is it?"

"Mother."

Yu Nan was stunned for a moment, the word that should have been the most intimate was too unfamiliar to him: "Oh, where is it?"

"In the store." Yu Lu thought, it's fine to go to their house to look at it deliberately, since they have all come to the store, let's go and have a look, let her know, she slapped her ass and left, and he also dragged his brother away I'm an adult, and I've been admitted to a key undergraduate course.

Yu Nan wiped his face and stretched his waist: "Go." It was as if he was going to meet a stranger, not his mother whom he hadn't seen for many years.After all these years, he had naturally excluded his mother from his life.

The whole family got up and went to the restaurant. This was the first time they went to the store together so neatly.It was the busiest time in this restaurant. Yang Huali sat at a table with her three children, and did not order food. There was only a pot of tea on the table from the waiter.The oldest of the three children is seven years old, and the youngest is four or five years old. They are about the same age as Yu Bing. They look like twins, two boys. These three children are all clamoring that they are hungry and asking their mother to buy food, but Yang Huali didn't say a word, just sat there numbly, and those children just watched others eat, and kept licking their mouths.

Haixuan glanced at Yang Huali, looking at the outline, Yu Lu looked a bit like his mother, but not very much, and Zhang Dan looked a little more like him, so he didn't go over to say hello, and went straight to the kitchen.

Yu Lu led a group of people to Yang Huali's table: "Are you looking for me?" Unexpectedly neither happy nor sad, as calm as meeting a stranger.

Both girls called mom timidly.

Yang Huali raised her head, saw Brother Yu Lu, was stunned for a while, then looked at the two daughters, and said in a whisper, "Along and Ahu miss my sister. Ayuan and Adan are both on summer vacation, I want to ask Would they like to come home with me?"

Zhang Dan took half a step back behind Lu Lu, hiding himself behind Lu Lu.Zhang Yuan said, "We won't go back, we'll be with my brother."

Yu Lu said: "The younger sisters are doing well with me, and they won't go back. But I'm going to get some things from your house today, and I want to transfer their hukou back."

Yang Huali looked at Yu Lu with a pleading look in her eyes: "Ah Lu, I'm sorry, I—"

Yu Lu interrupted her: "Stop talking."

Two twins hugged their mother's thigh: "Mom, I'm starving to death."

Yu Lu said: "Go to the private room upstairs, it's not convenient to talk here. Anan, take Yuanyuan to get some food, bring more."

Yu Nan nodded: "OK."

Yu Lu took Yang Huahua's mother and son upstairs, and entered a private room: "Don't bring up the past again, I've already been through the most difficult time, what you say now is useless, and it doesn't matter if you apologize. Now you have I have a new family, and I can’t take care of my two younger sisters. I’m capable now, and I’ll take care of them, so you don’t have to worry about them, so don’t expect them to help you with the children and housework, at most, when you get older , I’m no longer able to work, so I’ll pay you alimony. It’s the same with Anan and I, we always repay the kindness of giving birth, and I can clearly distinguish between grievances and resentments.”

Yang Huali looked at Yu Lu and opened her mouth, unable to speak.As a mother, she deeply felt ashamed of Brother Lu, and left behind a few underage children. She had been stabbed in the back many times over the years.

Several children rushed to surround Zhang Dan and called her sister. Yu Bing didn't know the embarrassment of the atmosphere. Seeing a boy who was about the same size as him, he wanted to go and play with him a long time ago.Yang Huali looked at Yu Bing and asked, "Is this A Lin's son?"

"Ah."

"Where's his mother?"

"I don't know." Yu Lu replied.

Yang Huali looked at the lively and lovely Yu Bing and said, "You have worked hard all these years." A boy without a family, pulling two younger brothers, a baby, and carrying such a large debt, it is impossible to think about it. But Yulu did it.

Yu Lu said lightly: "Fortunately, I survived."
