Wishing Restaurant didn't want to explode

The seasons of the year are actually very similar to the dial.

Up and down, left and right, corresponding to spring, summer, autumn and winter.

As long as the person is not dead and the watch is not broken, just go round and round, tirelessly.

Now that the spring day has passed, the hands on the dial continue to tick and tick down.

What followed was a brilliant "Xia".

The climate has changed over the years, and May has been quite warm.

As soon as the rain stopped in the morning, at noon, the big sun shone hotly.

The wet leaves and petals dry out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even a few small puddles on the ground, there are only a few dark traces left.

It was overcast for three or two days ahead, and people were a little moldy. In the evening, Liao Chu dragged Yu Yu and Guoguo, who wanted to stay at home, out for a stroll.

At the beginning, the two did experiments on evaporation, and then they played like crazy, and they made paper pots to boil water, put cardboard on the mouth of the bottle to prevent leakage, etc., tossing water all over the floor...

On weekends, many people come out for a walk.

Most of them are in groups of three or four, friends, couples, and more often, families.

Children make noise, adults laugh, and the sunset glow that pours down from the sky like fire is another good day.

In Liao Chu's eyes, it was a deep and shallow red and yellow.

Most of them are happy, occasionally there are a few gray and blue ones, which are very conspicuous.

After walking a few streets, I was surprised to find that there was already a barbecue stall.

The strings of small light bulbs are fixed into a big "string" character, which reveals a little bit of pride.

It was still dark, and the lightbulb was not on, but the people who saw the sign seemed to have seen the white smoke from the oven, the oil dripping from the skewers...

Barbecue stalls are a magical existence, especially in summer and winter.

Guoguo has learned a lot of characters recently, and when she saw the big "string", she was very excited:

"It's so big! What is this for?"

Most of these stalls are husband and wife stalls.

It was still early, the stall hadn't opened yet, and the man in his thirties brought his wife to wear meat skewers.

Guoguo was curious, so he ran over and carefully squatted in front of him, "What are you doing?"

The boss just laughed, "Barbecue."

BBQ!

I know this!

It smells so good!

Guoguo swallowed, "My uncle can also cook barbecue, it's so big!"

Seeing her cuteness, the boss also likes to tease her, "Really? Then your uncle is quite amazing."

While speaking, he kept moving his hands.

After a while, more than ten strings were worn.

Yu Yu was greedy and bumped Liao Chu with his elbow.

Liao Chu laughed, "Greedy?"

Yu Yu smacked his mouth and nodded.

Grilled skewers are definitely the king of stalls!

Liao Chu waved to Guoguo, turned around and went to the mall.

It is best to have a little fat on the skewers. The one at home is too thin, and it doesn't taste good when grilled.

On the way to the mall, I met a hawker selling home-grown strawberries.

Before approaching, there was just a gust of breeze, and a faint strawberry fragrance was sent over.

It is the turn of spring and summer, a unique fragrance.

Yu Yu and Guoguo raised their faces subconsciously and took two puffs.

It smells so good!

Before Liao Chu could speak, the two of them had already passed by.

The stall owner is a middle-aged woman with fair skin, but her hands are rough, obviously she is used to farm work.

At her feet was a large basket full of bright red strawberries.

Looks, not very pretty, big and small, and crooked buttocks.

But it smells good.

Guoguo tentatively stretched out her fingers, and lightly touched the top strawberry.

So ugly.

The hawker greeted warmly, "They are all grown by themselves, without spraying!"

Let them taste again.

Both Yu Yu and Guoguo habitually turned their heads, writing all over their faces:

What?

Liao Chu was amused and annoyed, went over to them and rubbed their heads.

There is still a leash, and the adult with the leash tied around his waist ran away by himself...

Liao Chu raised his trouser legs and squatted down, "How did you sell it?"

"Ten yuan and three catties." The woman smiled honestly.

Most of the fruits grown at home are not good-looking, and some people are not used to eating them, so naturally they can't ask for a high price.

Especially delicate fruits like strawberries will rot after two more days. They just want to exchange some money as soon as possible, and the amount doesn't matter.

Yu Yu took two at random, wiped off the mud spots on the surface with a wet towel, and bit down.

"Hmm~"

A little sour, he instinctively wrinkled his face, drooling, feeling that his mouth had become a vast ocean.

The Guoguo next to him had the same expression as his, and his eyes couldn't be opened.

The little girl didn't have much patience, and when she opened her mouth, she burst into laughter.

Liao Chu laughed out loud, took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her.

Guoguo closed her eyes and shivered, almost knocked herself down.

Was harshly sour.

She slurred, "Teacher Yuyu doesn't know how to choose!"

Yu Yu, who grinned his teeth, felt a little ashamed.

In this regard, he does not seem to have much talent.

But when the initial sourness passes, the rich juice overflows, and gradually shows a little sweetness.

Very refreshing and sweet.

Even if you haven't eaten it, once you taste it, you will feel:

Ah, that's what fruit should smell like, and that's what strawberries should smell like.

In comparison, those plump and round lady strawberries on the market seem too pretentious.

Liao Chu also tasted one, frowning slightly.

The aftertaste is really sweet, but the front is really sour, almost catching up with hawthorn.

If you eat without a stutter, it is easy to lose your teeth and it is not good for your stomach.

You can make strawberry jam instead.

Well, that's it.

Bake some bread in the evening, fry it with butter tomorrow morning, then spread some strawberry jam, with a fried egg, sausage or something, it is a good breakfast.

Liao Chu owns a Chinese restaurant, but he doesn't dislike Western food in his heart.

Food, as long as it is delicious.

When he came back, Liao Chu was carrying four bags by himself, full of barbecue ingredients.

Yu Yu held a strawberry in his left hand and a cone in his right.

Guoguo is the same, licking while walking, it is so beautiful that the soul will fly out of Tianling Gai.

Liao Chu sighed.

Where is walking for fitness? It’s like gaining weight...

The smell of barbecue oil smoke was strong, so Liao Chu simply didn't go home, and went straight to open the door of Liao Kee restaurant.

As soon as the door was opened, six or seven people from the past gathered together.

"Boss Liao, are you opening a shop?"

Liao Chu said: "Make something to eat yourself."

Those people lost their voices.

Unwilling to give up, he asked again, "Sell something?"

For ordinary people, just thinking about what to eat for three meals a day is exhausting.

Not to mention, still have to do it.

It's getting hotter and hotter in the future, who likes to go to the stove when they have nothing to do?

Liao Chu shook his head.

He didn't buy too much, at most he was prepared to have a meal if someone he knew came over.

Really not enough to sell.

One layer of fat and one layer of thin pork belly, tender beef and mutton, as well as chicken wings and shrimp.

For a temporary barbecue, these meat dishes are enough.

On the contrary, there are a few big purple-robed eggplants that are shiny and plump, very juicy and tender.

Clap, clap, muffled.

When the meat was almost marinated, when Liao Chu started to wear skewers, he saw Ji Peng with his schoolbag on his back poking his head outside.

"Brother Liao, open the door?"

Liao Chu had no resistance to the "Dharma Protectors", so he said unhappily, "If you want to eat, come in."

"Okay!" Ji Peng sneaked in.

After seeing what he was doing, Ji Peng's eyes lit up, "Barbecue, I just want this one!"

"There is nothing you don't like." Liao Chu ruthlessly dismantled the stage, then raised his chin towards the dish of vegetables, "Go and wash the eggplant and leek."

Ji Peng: "..."

He looked at Yu Yu and Guoguo who were bored with idioms over there, I'm still a teenager!

Isn't that a living strong labor?

Liao Chudang didn't see it.

Can the family do the same?

However, the young man's resentful eyes were rewarded:

A few minutes later, Yu Yu moved over and stood at the door to watch him work.

Ji Peng: "..."

You might as well go and play!

"Why didn't you study at night?" Yu Yu asked.

Ji Peng snorted, and picked leeks clumsily, "From this week on, we won't go to evening self-study on weekends, so we can combine work and rest."

Last week, there seemed to be a class of students who collapsed under too much pressure. They ran out of the school over the wall in the middle of the night, and found it at the beach the next day.

Although people are fine and their emotions have stabilized now, the parents and teachers were so frightened that they held several emergency meetings, and then said that from now until the end of the college entrance examination, they will not go to evening self-study every Sunday. Let the kids relax.

How well the exams are done is a matter for the future, if there are a few more cases now, even if the students are not crazy, the school will be crazy.

After hearing what he said, Yu Yu was also a little scared.

"what do you think?"

Liao Chu lit the fire and put the kebabs on.

Although he didn't speak, he also looked at Ji Peng twice, obviously very concerned.

Ji Peng scratched his head, hesitated, and told the truth.

"Scared," he had always regarded Liao Chu and Yu Yu as half-brothers, paused, and said, "I haven't been able to sleep for the past two days."

frightened.

He was afraid that he would fail the exam and let down the expectations of his family and teachers;

Afraid of not doing well in the exam, seeing everyone's disappointed looks;

I'm afraid I won't do well in the exam, so I can't go to the same city to study with Gao Min...

Liao Chu looked up at him, "Didn't you improve a lot these few times?"

Ji Peng smiled wryly, "It's better not to make progress..."

Now that he's progressing, his heart seems to be hanging in his throat, and he's afraid it's a flash of light.

Usually, the monthly exam is not good, but everyone does not have high expectations. Even if the college entrance examination results are not satisfactory, they will not feel disappointed.

But in the last half a year, his grades have been improving, teachers, classmates, parents, everyone's attention has come.

Even if he doesn't say it, he can guess what everyone is thinking:

If you work harder, you may be able to improve your college entrance examination results.

Because even he himself thought so.

But every night in the dead of night, Ji Peng couldn't help but wonder:

I've been a scumbag for so many years, so it came up out of nowhere, is it true?

People say self-confidence, but his current situation is that others have confidence in him, but he himself does not.

He dared not tell his family these words, for fear that they would be disappointed.

But the more I hold back, the more scared I become.

He felt that he was now like a balloon full of air, which was painfully inflated and uncomfortably inflated, as if it would be blown up at any moment.

Liao Chu glanced at him, and suddenly said: "It's quite conscientious."

"Ah?" Ji Peng was a little confused.

Where is this from?

Yu Yu smiled and said, "He is right, you are indeed a good boy."

Guoguo couldn't understand what they were saying at all, and just nodded along, "He's a good boy."

He was praised so suddenly, Ji Peng was a little embarrassed.

He rubbed his nose and said vaguely, "It's nothing..."

Also a little happy.

Yu Yu laughed, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, the source of all your stress is nothing more than fear of being disappointed by others."

Ji Peng was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and nodded.

It really is.

In fact, he himself felt nothing.

As a man, even if he can't get into a famous university in the future, at worst, he can learn a technology like Brother Liao, and he can support himself.

But he just wants to get good grades in the exam and let others see that he is not just a young man who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

He wanted to win face for his family, and also for himself, to make people look up to him.

Rather than talking about external pressure, it is better to say that he is constantly putting pressure on himself.

Yu Yu said seriously: "So, you are a good boy."

At a young age, it means that the child has become enlightened, sensible, and considerate.

When you get older, you know how to be grateful.

Liao Chu looked at the two people who were talking, and flipped the meat skewers in his hand.

The back has been roasted and changed color, the fat part has shrunk obviously, and large pieces of fat seep out, falling into the charcoal stove along the texture of the meat.

"puff!"

Along with the white smoke, a group of small sparks exploded.

The edges are slightly charred, the lean meat turns white, and the fat meat is transparent. Even with the range hood working hard, the air is still filled with the unique aroma of open flame barbecue.

Yu Yu and Ji Peng instinctively looked over.

The former patted the latter's shoulder lightly, "Relax."

After finishing speaking, he was about to go to Liao Chu's side.

Ji Peng: "...Hello!"

Isn't it too obvious that you are being perfunctory?

What about the solution?

A few minutes later, Ji Peng grabbed the meat skewers in both hands, and ate them angrily, until his mouth was full of oil.

The meat is pre-marinated, and a little cumin and chili powder are sprinkled on the back, so there is no need to dip any extra sauce.

Needless to say, the fire is not to mention, one bite, the gravy is overflowing, the burnt aroma on the edge is matched with the tenderness inside, it is simply beautiful.

Ji Peng originally wanted to eat meat, but that grilled eggplant...doesn't it look too delicious?

After the eggplant skin is roasted and wrinkled, it is cut from the middle.

The plump eggplant flesh is brushed with oil and covered with minced meat.

As soon as the fire is burning, the meat and vegetable oil is like the reincarnation of a passionate Spanish girl, dancing with the foam on her head.

Let's have some garlic chili sauce, isn't it more delicious than eating meat?

Guoguo wants to eat shrimp.

Originally, Yu Yu and Liao Chu wanted to strip her, but the little girl was quite ambitious and insisted on doing it herself.

The two removed the sticky shrimp head, stared at it for a while, and found that the little guy peeled well, so they let her go.

Yu Yu also took the meat skewers to eat, but Liao Chu kept staring at the pot of leeks for a while, and suddenly felt a little disgusted:

"When you washed the leeks, did you grab your hair?"

Ji Peng: "..."

Is now the time to care about this?

Sitting across from you is a stressed-out high school senior!

Yu Yu suppressed a smile, and patted him on the shoulder again, "Actually, the most difficult thing in this world is to try your best. As long as you try your best and have no regrets, that's enough."

Ji Peng was stunned for a moment, "But..."

But he was afraid that his parents would think it was not good enough.

Yu Yu smiled and said, "Are they the best parents in your heart?"

Ji Peng nodded without thinking.

Yu Yu said: "Then believe it or not, in their hearts, you are the best child in the world?"

Ji Peng blinked, as if he understood a little bit.

After a while, "Brother Yu, you patted my shoulder just now, didn't you wipe your hands?"

Yu Yu: "..."

Who did this brat learn from!
