Wishing Restaurant didn't want to explode

The autumn sky in the north is high and far away, like a piece of translucent blue emerald, huge and clear, only occasionally there are a few wisps of cotton that cannot be melted, just floating lazily.

The sun without the cover of the clouds is also extremely poisonous, and the skin hurts from the sun.

However, it is a good time to dry the quilt.

Anyone who is free will dig out the quilts that have been stored at home for more than half a year, stretch them out under the sun, squint their eyes and pat them gently.

There will be dust floating, dancing against the beam of light, like a fish swimming in the void.

The cotton wadding that had been exposed to the hot sun stretched and became fluffy again, and the whole quilt was like a cotton candy, exuding a pleasant smell.

Someone once said it was the smell of sunshine.

But later, it was refuted by the so-called science, saying that it was the smell of mites that had been sunburned, and the romance was lost in an instant.

However, it seems that in recent years, a new theory has emerged. Seeing that mite corpses have become pseudoscience, people don't know what to say.

Only in recent years, down quilts have emerged, which are light, soft, and have no worse heat retention than cotton quilts.

A lot of fashionable young people bought them.

However, down is not easy to expose to the sun, which makes life less interesting.

Takeaway and duvet...

Losing the bottles and cans in the kitchen and the patting to dry the quilt, it seems that most of the fun of life is gone.

Dry.

As a chef, Liao Chu's painting style is always a little different from others:

While others dry their quilts, he drys the eggplants.

Yu Yu wanted to ask a long time ago, "Mr. Liao, is there a special dish for drying eggplants?"

Now all kinds of vegetables can be bought all year round. For ordinary people, it seems that there is no need to dry them specially.

Liao Chu gathered the long beans that had been dried before and put them in bags.

The climate in the north is dry all year round. As long as these dry goods are not deliberately soaked in water, they can be stored for a long time if left casually.

When drying long beans, you only need to thread one end of them with a needle and thread, hang them anywhere, and wait for the dry air from south to north to take away their moisture.

But this kind of thing also depends on luck.

Sometimes it was clear that the day before hanging out was cloudless, but the next day suddenly became gloomy.

As long as there are cloudy and rainy days in a row, those beans will become a breeding ground for bacteria.

So for the people in the past, making dried vegetables was really a very important ritual.

The dried beans that have been dried are indeed a bit unsightly, with all over the place, like a mummy in a horror movie.

But the bones are still there, flexible, not brittle, and thick.

Liao Chu turned over the thick sliced ​​eggplant again, "The seasonal vegetables are delicious."

After a pause, he added: "The dried ones are more delicious."

During the four seasons of the year, when vegetables and fruits are on the market and when they are off the market are all arranged by God.

Nowadays, although manpower is superior to nature and greenhouse vegetables are made, they are not as delicious as those outdoors that are bathed in sunshine and rain.

He even felt a little pitiful for the children now:

These days, it is too difficult to find some really delicious vegetables from the vegetable market.

Although his childhood was bitter, the dishes at that time still tasted like vegetables.

Unlike now, the shape is better, the color is brighter, but the taste...but I don't know where it is.

These fleshy vegetables and fruits are especially suitable for air-drying, and the taste is particularly solid.

He buys many of them every year when they come on the market in large quantities.

Let it dry and cook to add more flavor.

In summer, he also made a lot of dried plums, dried apricots, and dried peaches.

Then soak it with a little white wine, white vinegar, white sugar, etc. to remove the sourness, and it is a pure natural preserved fruit.

Seal it in a vacuum bag and have enough to eat for the coming year.

Guoguo especially likes to grind his teeth with them.

And it is cleaner and more assured than the preserved fruit sold outside.

Yu Yu wowed, and when he looked at those wrinkled and black dried eggplants, there was more respect in his eyes.

What an amazing eggplant!

Today, Saturday, he didn't have to go to work. He watched Liao Chu fiddle with the eggplant for a while before he realized what he wanted.

"Ah, by the way, Mr. Liao, please help me pack a pastry gift box."

He is going to the original community today to visit Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang.

Although he has moved away, he was always taken care of by his elders when he lived there.

He also ate several meals from others!

Now, the second elder's children and grandchildren are all far away, and after he moved away like this, he became even colder and more lonely.

Liao Chu patted the crumbs on his hands, put the gauze on the bamboo mat filled with dried eggplants, turned and walked into the shop.

Since I made pastries a few times, the customers in the store have remembered them, and they have been reminded every now and then.

Liao Chu couldn't help it, so every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, they launched two kinds of dim sum.

Some have been done before, and some have not been done.

Today is Purple Potato Egg Yolk Crisp and Shaqima.

Shaqima, also known as Saqima, was originally a traditional snack of the Manchus, and later spread, because of its soft and sweet taste, it is very popular.

However, because Shaqima is a fried food, and a lot of lard and sugar are added, the calories are unimaginably high.

It is generally not recommended to eat more.

But things in this world are often contradictory like this:

Good-looking clothes are often not warm;

Delicious things are mostly unhealthy.

Nothing can replace the satisfaction and happiness brought by high sugar and high calories.

Especially if it's cold today, the Shaqima of Liao Kee Restaurant was immediately anointed as soon as it came out.

Even Yu Yu couldn't hold back, so he asked for a piece to taste for himself first.

Needless to say, Liao Chu made real materials.

As soon as the square cake was served, there was a strong milky and sweet smell.

There are enough gaps in the intertwined interior of Shaqima, making the overall taste very light and dense.

There is an illusion of inflating.

Obviously the shape is so simple and honest, but the inside is soft and fluffy.

He looks like a strong man who can embroider!

Incredible!

After contact with the warm mouth, the sugar on the surface of Shaqima dissolves quickly, making it as sweet as honey.

Yu Yu couldn't help exhaling slowly:

Every cell in the body is jumping for joy.

Who can resist the temptation of high calories?

Anyway, he can't.

He suddenly felt a little sad.

Being too close to restaurants doesn't seem like a good thing?

If it goes on like this, there is a danger of losing your figure...

"tomorrow……"

Yu Yu originally wanted to say that he would start to control his diet tomorrow.

As a result, Liao Chu on the opposite side misunderstood.

"Pumpkin fried cake tomorrow morning," he added, "bean paste stuffing."

Yu Yu: "...OK."

Control diet or something, it is better to do it the day after tomorrow!

Xingheyuan is an old community.

You can tell from the name.

Because of the re-planning of the city in recent years and the relocation of the political and economic centers, many young people have followed suit. Xingheyuan is the same as other nearby communities. Most of the houses are left with the old and the weak.

In autumn and winter, there will be a wonderful landscape in Xinghe Garden:

In the sunny place under the eaves, there are old men and women basking in the sun with their horses.

Like a row of old cats.

When Yu Yu came back, there were a few old people on the side of the road staring at him.

After watching it for a long time, there was a sound of ah.

"Oh, isn't this Xiaoyu who moved away a few days ago?"

Yu Yu jumped out of the car and smiled at them, "Hello."

The old people laughed and said yes, and then asked him where he was and how he was doing.

This guy is nice.

When I was here before, I would often help out with a dish or something, and I was also willing to talk to old guys like them.

Yu Yu pointed to the building next to him, "I'll come back to see Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang."

Several old people issued a neat, almost envious "oh".

At their age, it is really something to be proud of to have young people who care about them and even take the initiative to visit them.

But today's Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are not at ease.

When Yu Yu entered, Uncle Wang was lying on the bed, and there was a strong smell of medicinal wine floating in the air.

"Uncle Wang is injured?"

"Turn your waist, it's okay!"

Aunt Wang's complexion was a bit uneasy, and she was still polite when entertaining guests.

"You child, come as soon as you come, why are you still taking things?"

Yu Yu smiled and said: "It's not something expensive, it's just two cakes made by my friend. I think they are very good after eating, and I just want to bring some to you to try."

Aunt Wang took the paper box, "Is that the friend you mentioned earlier who helped you find a house and open a restaurant?"

Yu Yu nodded, his smile became brighter, "Yes."

Aunt Wang nodded with a smile, and then looked at him carefully.

"That's right, I look better, and I'm getting fatter."

Whether this person is having a good life can be seen from his eyes and face.

Before, he and Lao Wang were worried, fearing that the child would suddenly move to another place, no one would take care of him, and he would not adapt.

Looking at it now, it's okay.

Yu Yu felt a little embarrassed.

As the seasons change and the demands on his body increase, his appetite seems to have soared a little...

Alas, I can only blame Mr. Liao for making delicious food!

Aunt Wang patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "It looks better when it's fatter."

People of their generation like their children to grow fat and white.

Good luck just by looking at it!

Unwilling to be lonely, Uncle Wang tried his best to lift his upper body from the bed, "Xiao Yu, sit down."

Just as Yu Yu was about to stop her, she saw Aunt Wang pulled her face, "See if you can do it, Xiao Yu is not an outsider, so do you need a handicapped person to greet you?"

Uncle Wang's face flushed quickly, and he lay back embarrassingly, but couldn't help muttering in a low voice:

"Hospitality……"

It's not easy for the children to come back.

Aunt Wang gave him a hard look.

It is not a trivial matter for an old man at this age to twist his waist.

Yu Yu asked, "How did this happen? Did you go to the hospital? Do you want me to take you to take a film or something?"

It's okay not to mention this matter, but when this was mentioned, Aunt Wang suddenly became excited.

She pointed to Uncle Wang, who was lying on the bed honestly, and said, "It just so happens that Xiao Yu is here, so you can tell him that he is not ashamed to be ashamed! He is so old, and he even went to fight with a cat..."

After I retire, I suddenly have free time. However, the children of the second elder are not around, and I don’t have to help with the grandchildren. Occasionally, it is inevitable to be lonely.

A few days ago, Uncle Wang followed others and bought two birds, hung them on the balcony, and teased them every day, which could relieve them a little bit.

Unexpectedly, a wild cat was attracted.

Although cats can't get in through the glass, anyone who sees the natural enemy scratching the glass outside every day will be terrified.

The two birds were timid, but now they were frightened out of their wits by the cat, screaming so loudly that the color of their feathers became dim.

Uncle Wang was furious, and after removing the cage, he took a pole to drive away the stray cats.

As a result... he flashed his waist.

Yu Yu: "..."

The cause was unexpected to me.

Being exposed in public, Uncle Wang's refined face flushed red.

He picked the corner of the quilt and said in shame: "Xiao Yu, uncle can't treat you to fried noodles today."

Aunt Wang is angry when she sees him now.

Hearing the words, he said, "What kind of fried noodles are you eating! Look at you like this! I really think your broken fried noodles are so delicious?"

Uncle Wang was not convinced.

"Why is it not delicious? Don't you always praise it for all these years?"

Aunt Wang pushed Yu Yu to the living room outside, and said as she walked, "I lied to you."

Yu Yu suppressed a smile, "Don't be angry, Auntie." He took the time to grab the door frame and tried to lean into the room to comfort him, "Uncle's noodles with fried sauce are really delicious, I've always thought about it."

Uncle Wang became proud again.

"Listen, listen, what Xiao Yu said is of a high standard! You are a teacher of the people, you are a liar!"

He didn't believe that the old woman had eaten it for most of her life, but in the end she still hated it?

Aunt Wang snorted and closed the door behind him.

Uncle Wang: "...you open it for me!"

He still wants to talk to Xiao Yu.

What to say, go raise your old waist!

Aunt Wang thought angrily.

"By the way," Aunt Wang asked about Yu Yu's recent situation in detail, suddenly slapped her hands, and ran to the utility room, "A few days ago, two of your uncle's students and I came over and brought us something. The two old men and the old lady couldn't eat anymore, and the two solid-eyed children left and ran away...how to deal with Zhengchou, just as you came, take them all with you."

As he spoke, a chocolate gift box with a bow tie and a bag of coffee popped out.

Aunt Wang couldn't help laughing and said, "They're two silly kids too. These are refreshing things. Chocolate is so sweet. How can your uncle and I eat it?"

As soon as the words fell, I heard Uncle Wang in the room trying to shout: "Put it all on him!"

Aunt Wang also stretched her neck and shouted over there: "Do you need to say it?"

Uncle Wang fell silent.

Yu Yu looked at the brand of that chocolate, it was quite expensive, so he didn't want it.

Aunt Wang insisted.

"Didn't you say that your friend took the child by himself? Give it to the child! If you don't want to drink this coffee, just give it to him..."

Friends, you have to keep in touch with each other to last long.

Later, Aunt Wang sent Yu Yu down again.

Yu Yu originally said no, but the old lady insisted unexpectedly.

When I came down, I saw the old men and women basking in the sun just now.

"Let's go?"

Yu Yu smiled and nodded, "Let's go!"

An old man said to Aunt Wang: "This child has a conscience."

Just remember it.

Aunt Wang trembled, "That's right! If you have to come, I told Lao Wang, oh, don't run away if you are busy with work, if you don't listen! Just come, if you want to bring something, bring those snacks, I will I can't eat with his uncle..."

Yu Yu: "..."

Feelings, do you want to come down and do this?

When he returned to Liaoji Restaurant, Guoguo was painting with a watercolor pen, and the young couple who had a quarrel two days ago was also there.

There are not many couples with an average height of more than 1.8 meters.

Seeing the large box of chocolates he brought, Guoguo's eyes lit up.

"Did Teacher Yuyu give this to Guoguo?"

Yu Yu smiled and said, "Yes."

Guoguo looked up at Liao Chu.

After Liao Chu asked about the source, he didn't refuse, "I'll bake two coffee breads for you to eat in two days."

He actually prefers tea.

However, in addition to drinking, coffee can also be used to make pastries, which can effectively reduce sweetness and increase fragrance.

Yu Yu was really happy.

The chocolate gift box didn’t stay in Guoguo’s hands for long:

Boss Liao took it away very cruelly.

It's like New Year's money.

"Children can't eat too much candy. Uncle will leave it for you first. Let's eat two candies every day."

Listen, what a familiar language.

Guoguo rubbed her little hands and nodded, her big eyes were full of reluctance.

"Then uncle, can I have one today?"

She just opened it and read it, it's so beautiful!

It must be delicious!

Oh, why am I still a child?

Can adults just eat a few more?

Liao Chu looked at the time, "It's already 11 o'clock, I can only eat one today."

The little girl sighed regretfully, but nodded happily.

Hey, there's chocolate to eat!

but……

She suddenly remembered something, "Then, I want to give it to Qianqian, can I have an extra one?"

Qianqian will definitely come over to have lunch with Uncle Liu later.

She wants to share with Qianqian.

It is amazing for children to share actively.

Liao Chu nodded, "That's great."

Guoguo covered her face and giggled, then looked at Yu Yu again.

Yu Yu laughed, and praised as usual: "Guo is really amazing."

Guoguo's eyes twinkled, and her little face was full of anticipation, "Then can I have a little star today?"

Usually in kindergarten, if any child does something particularly well, the teacher will reward a little star sticker.

Yu Yu really took out a star sticker from his pocket, which stunned Liao Chu.

He took one off from the top and stuck it on Guoguo's neckline.

The little girl became visibly excited.

She ran up to the sunset red, tried to stand on tiptoe, and showed the newly acquired star to others:

"Grandpa Song, Grandpa Li, look, this is the star rewarded to me by Teacher Yuyu!"

The two old men were very supportive of face.

"Oh, we are really good, we must have done something really amazing!"

Guoguo was suddenly a little shy again.

"Hee hee, no more..."

Liao Chu looked at Yu Yu, "You wear stickers on weekends?"

Yu Yu smiled proudly, "Don't underestimate this sticker, the kids love it so much..."

Almost all children are inexplicably obsessed with this kind of colorful pictures.

I often meet children when I go out. If they are in a bad mood or lose their temper, they are likely to be soothed by stickers that fall from the sky.

Looking at his triumphant face, Liao Chu thought:

I think you look like a child now...

At noon today, Liao Kee Restaurant's special dish is tamales.

There are two flavors of shiitake mushrooms and fried peppers, taking into account both people who can eat spicy food and those who can't.

No wonder he was so fragrant before he entered the door just now!

Since there is meat, rice is a must!

Yu Yu ordered a spicy tamales and an extra lettuce tip with garlic.

Steamed pork with rice flour is served in small bowls, and dozens of bowls can be steamed in one pot, so you don't have to wait for a long time.

Liao Chu also fried the peppers inside, and now they are all chopped up and spread out.

When he sold beef noodles before, this kind of pepper would also be included in the soup, but it was whole, so it was very fragrant.

There are also people who come here specifically for this chili. When ordering beef noodles, they will specifically ask for a few more peppers, and then eat them whole.

Yu Yu tried it once.

The fried chili is hollow inside. After being soaked in beef broth, it is filled with rich soup. Pick up the whole pepper and put it in your mouth for a bite:

"Buzi~"

The rich juice mixed with chili oil and beef broth splashes out, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth.

The spiciness of this kind of chili is limited, but the aroma is extremely charming. Dry frying is quite suitable for the current wine and dishes.

Pork belly with skin should be used to make tamales.

After cooking, the meat is delicate and soft, while the skin retains a little bit of strength and elasticity.

Two flavors, double enjoyment, it's great.

Yu Yu picked up a piece of pork belly, trembling.

The water vapor and gravy have fully moistened the rice noodles on the surface, turning them into a kind of light golden coarse particles, which are tightly paved on the surface of the meat.

Among various heating methods, the temperature of steam is the highest, and food is more likely to be soft and rotten.

At this time, the bowl of steamed meat was already extremely soft and glutinous, and it melted away with a sip of the lips and tongue, and even a toothless old lady could eat it.

teeth?

You rest today!

The excess oil in the pork belly has already flowed away with the water vapor, and there is no fat or greasy, but the mouth is full of fresh fragrance.

And the rice noodles on the outside soaked up the gravy, and it turned into a delicacy that was not inferior to the sliced ​​meat.

Push the tamales aside, and you will find that a little bit of soup has gathered in the bowl.

Not much, very fragrant.

And it is precisely because there are not many of it that it becomes more precious.

Yu Yu took the second slice, it was very painful, and it took a little bit of soup to eat it.

Whoa oh oh~! !

Deliciousness really adds more weight.

Is pork belly such a delicious thing?

Just outrageous!

Sitting next to him happened to be the young couple, and they also had a serving of tamales on their table.

It's just that only boys eat, and girls stare straight at it, and then desperately stuff vegetables into their mouths.

"Is your city team so strict? No meat is allowed outside!"

The boy couldn't stand it anymore.

"I dare not eat..."

The girl whispered.

Professional athletes are often required to undergo a battery of illicit drug tests when competing at the professional level, the most common being doping.

Now most meats on the market contain clenbuterol, and the main ingredient of clenbuterol highly overlaps with stimulants.

There have been many athletes who ate meat other than designated restaurants because of their greedy mouth before. As a result, they were found to have doping ingredients during the competition, thus ruining their sports careers.

"Hmph," the boy glanced at her and said quietly, "Then you lied to me that you lost weight..."

As a result, the appetite was enough to overwhelm the two of them!

The girl scratched her head and picked the corner of the table.

The boy heard her whisper something again, "What?"

The girl rubbed her nose, "It's not the city team anymore, I was selected to the provincial team two months ago..."

The boy's eyes slowly opened wide, and when he spoke again, his voice trembled slightly:

"You lied to me again?!"

The girl opened her mouth, feeling guilty, and hummed, "Isn't it too late to say..."

In fact, she had been practicing at the provincial team's training base some time ago, but at that time, the seedlings from several cities in the province came to screen together.

Two months ago, the last assessment was over, and she was left behind.

So essentially there is no difference, right?

There is a university town in the east district of Qingjiang City, which brings together more than ten universities in the city. Among them, the Sports University and the Art Academy, which are often used as training bases, are separated by a wall.

The girl said before that she was from an art academy.

Then every time she waited for the boy to send her to the gate of the art college, she would sneak back to the sports college next door.

Once a boy wanted to give her a gift, but halfway back, he remembered that he forgot to give it, so he ran back again, just in time to see his girlfriend at the gate of the Physical Education University, calling him a brother...

The scene was very embarrassing.

This young relationship also experienced its first crisis... a crisis of trust.

However! !

Now he was told that there was a second wave?

The boy was furious, and when he was about to speak, his girlfriend held him down.

He struggled, but didn't move...

The crowd eavesdropped on the diners: "...Pfft."

The awkwardness of young lovers at this age comes and goes faster.

A few minutes ago, the two of them were still moaning and chirping, but after a few minutes, they became gluey again.

After a while, after eating, the two walked to the door hand in hand.

The boy stretched out his arms, "Come on, give me a hug, we'll be fine in the future, won't we have conflicts?"

The girl was very moved, nodded heavily, and then went over and hugged him up.

boy:"……"
