Wishing Restaurant didn't want to explode

In the evening Ji Peng came over for dinner.

The young man was frowning, a bit out of tune with the joyful atmosphere in the restaurant.

"What's the matter? It's going to be a holiday, why aren't you happy?"

Yu Yu smiled.

Recently, Ji Peng was busy with the final exams, and it had been a long time since he had a serious meal in the restaurant. Most of them were sent to school by Mr. Ji's assistant.

That is to say, it is a holiday tomorrow. The school deliberately relieves the psychological burden on the senior high school students, and cancels the evening self-study tonight, so that they will be free to come here.

Ji Peng's upper body was paralyzed on the back of the chair, his eyes were fixed on the ceiling, his eyes were dull, "It's exposed."

Yu Yu was stunned for a moment before recovering, "Same table?"

The black-skinned boy nodded with difficulty.

Over there, Guoguo was turning the flower rope with Qianqian. Aunt Zhao next to her had a grandma smile on her face, so she didn't bother to watch, Yu Yu hurried over and sat down next to him.

"Your parents want to beat mandarin ducks?"

The young man's hazy feelings are ignorant and sweet, and when he hears the mandarin duck's words, the young man is a little embarrassed, and there is a slight blush under his black skin.

"It doesn't seem to be..."

He touched his nose and said.

Yu Yu was a little confused, "What's going on?"

Ji Peng looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered: "It's my mother..."

Near the end of the year, Mr. Ji was busy with his career, but he didn't find anything.

It's just that Mrs. Ji and her son get along day and night, and they are very careful, so it's inevitable that they can see some clues.

"Aren't we on vacation tomorrow? She said she wanted to invite Gao Min and me to dinner..."

The winter vacation of the senior year was short and precious. Before Ji Peng could be happy, he was stunned by the sad news.

If it hadn't been discovered, it was so good, which parent would suddenly propose to invite his son's tablemate to dinner?

Is it okay if a puppy love is discovered by his parents? !

The boy scratched his head sadly.

The college entrance examination will be in the new year, if it affects the grades of his deskmate, he will commit suicide.

When it comes to campus romance, Yu Yu is actually a rookie with no experience at all.

But as the old saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, and the two of them can be half of each other, right?

Yu Yu thought about it for a long time, "Actually, I think that things may not be as bad as you think. If she really wants to beat the mandarin ducks, she just spread it out and ask you to stop dating?"

In his impression, Mrs. Ji was very open-minded and reasonable.

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Ji Peng's eyes lit up, "Yes!"

Will mom still agree?

Don't dare to think, don't dare to think...

But at least there was comfort in his heart, and Ji Peng's expression was obviously much more relaxed.

The young man drank two big bowls of rice with the braised pork ribs, and packed an extra serving.

After the last takeaway incident, Yigao's cafeteria underwent a major rectification and a new contractor was replaced.

The cooking is indeed clean, and the portion is sufficient, but the taste is still not comparable to the outside.

"Hey, send it to my deskmate."

The boy ran away with his lunch box in his arms.

Regardless of what happens to him tomorrow, let's talk about delivering the food today.

In the evening, Yu Yu told Liao Chu about this, and Liao Chu also laughed.

The sorrows of young people are also young and lovely.

"It should be fine."

His thoughts are similar to Yu Yu's. If the parents really want to fight the mandarin ducks, there is no need to make such a big detour.

Yu Yu scooped up a piece of pear and crunched it into pieces, "This is really delicious, just like canned food."

The weather has been cold recently, and the heating temperature in the house has also risen accordingly. The air has become drier, and the throats of both adults and children are uncomfortable. Liao Chu bought fresh pears and cut them into pieces, boiled them with rock sugar to clear away heat and moisten the lungs.

He also threw a few dried osmanthus flowers in it.

There are blossoming golden osmanthus floating in the clear juice, which is a beauty killer.

When he said this, Liao Chu was dealing with a pot of hawthorn.

The hawthorns are round and plump, with small cores and thick flesh. They are very festive when piled in a large stainless steel basin.

Guoguo took one and ate it, and after taking a bite, her face was distorted.

"It's so sour~"

After speaking, the kid shivered.

Liao Chu laughed, "You still refuse to wait."

Do you know how powerful this time is?

This is a freshly harvested hawthorn this year. The quality is quite good. The flesh is sandy, delicate and soft.

Good looks too.

However, the sourness was too strong, and it was a bit unbearable to stutter.

He is going to boil it into hawthorn rock sugar water like Sydney.

In the warm floor heating room, have a glass of cool iced drink, nothing could be more comfortable.

If there are more, make haw jelly.

It can be stored for a long time by sealing it with a vacuum bag.

This is tedious to do, and it won't make much money, so it won't be sold to the outside world.

Guoguo drooled, giggled, and carefully put the remaining half of the hawthorn on the coffee table.

As a result, a few minutes later, the little guy picked it up again with his mouth smacked.

Liao Chu was surprised and said, "It's sour."

Guoguo drooled and said, "It's delicious."

He actually ate the remaining half of it.

Liao Chu was stunned.

Just looking at him made his teeth fall.

Yu Yu said with a smile: "Children's taste buds are not fully developed. Many times, the taste they taste is different from that of adults."

Liao Chu was taken aback, how could it be like this?

Yu Yu pulled Guoguo over, "It's delicious but you can't eat too much, it will make you uncomfortable if you eat too much."

Even if children find it delicious, the true properties of hawthorn will not change. If you eat too much, your stomach will be sour.

Guoguo sucked her saliva and nodded, but her eyes were still a little reluctant.

But speaking of delicious...

Yu Yu suddenly remembered something, "This should be delicious for making candied haws, right?"

A word full of hints!

Liao Chu glanced at him, picked up the basin silently, and went to the kitchen.

Yu Yu Dian'er followed, and behind him was a little follower, Chong Guoguo, "What is candied haws?"

How should I say this?

Yu Yu thought for a while, and searched a few photos of candied haws on his phone to show her, "This is it. I boiled the candy and wrapped it in hawthorns. It's sour and sweet, it's delicious."

Guoguo wowed, "It's so beautiful! Where is the gourd? What is a gourd?"

Yu Yu had no choice but to find a picture of the gourd for her again, "Look at everyone's sections, don't they look alike?"

Guoguo frowned for a long time, then whispered, "It doesn't look like..."

Candied haws are red and so long, but this gourd is green and chubby.

The little guy is quite serious.

Yu Yu just laughed, and led her over to watch Liao Chu handle the hawthorn.

I didn't plan to make candied haws before, and I don't have professional tools at home, but this is not difficult.

Liao Chu first cut off the two ends of the hawthorn, and then carefully poked out the core with chopsticks.

This batch of hawthorn was too sour, and eating too much hurt the stomach, so they were divided into groups of four and put on thicker bamboo sticks, and then flattened on the chopping board.

The dark red fruit coat with Venus couldn't hold it for too long, and soon let out an overwhelmed wail, and reluctantly cracked open, revealing the full white flesh inside.

After being flattened, the rock sugar shell can be absorbed to the maximum extent, and the sweetness can be fully exerted, which is most suitable for this kind of hawthorn with plump and soft flesh.

As soon as the hawthorn is crushed, there is a faint sour smell in the air.

Yu Yu and Guoguo's mouths instinctively secreted saliva, and they swallowed together.

Liao Chu laughed.

He broke the rock sugar into smaller particles, put it in a dry pot, and boiled it slowly over low heat.

After a few minutes, the crystal sugar that was originally white and bright gradually melted, and changed from sugar juice to slightly caramel-colored syrup.

Turn off the heat when the syrup forms small bubbles.

No matter how long it takes, it will have a bitter taste and the color will not be very good-looking.

He wrapped the pre-prepared hawthorn skewers inside and arranged them on oiled paper.

Next, just wait.

If you are in a hurry, you can put it directly in the refrigerator to freeze.

But when it comes to candy...

Liao Chu dug out a few more apples from the refrigerator.

Yu Yu said loudly, "Isn't this what I brought last time?"

Liao Chu glanced at him and said nothing.

Yu Yu felt a little guilty.

A few days ago, he found an old woman selling apples on the road, and couldn't resist buying a lot.

This time it wasn't rotten, and it weighed a lot, but who knows that the apple looks good, but it's actually not sweet at all.

And after a few days, it changed quickly.

None of the three of them like to eat noodles and apples, and they have been putting it until today.

But it would be a pity to throw it away like this.

Liao Chu decided to make a candied apple for dessert.

As long as you master the heat, the wire drawing series is actually very simple.

But just the word "huohou" stumped countless people.

"Send Liu Xi a message and ask him to come get some food later." Liao Chu said while washing the apples.

After doing so much, the three of them couldn't finish eating in a while.

"Okay!" Yu Yu said swiftly.

If you can't get involved with delicious food, he will do it by sending a message!

Professional chefs even peel apples differently from others.

Yu Yu realized that after watching Liao Chu peel the fruit so many times, the skin was never broken.

It's outrageous!

Repeat the steps of boiling sugar again, throw in the sliced ​​apple pieces, turn the spoon over and over, and it will be ready to serve immediately.

Not long after they were put on the plate, Liu Xi's father and daughter rushed over and shouted when they entered the door: "Where is the dessert? Where is the dessert?"

Writing a novel is a very labor-intensive job that requires a lot of energy supply. Liu Xi is craving sweetness over there, and Yu Yu's news came.

It was rain from heaven.

Looking at the plate of apples on the table, Qianqian was very puzzled, "Will it spin silk like a spider?"

Where is Si?Why didn't you see it?

Liao Chu held a piece of apple and slowly lifted it up, and then everyone watched as the light amber syrup on its surface stretched into long sugar strands little by little.

The four onlookers opened their mouths neatly and let out applause.

The candy was too long and inconvenient, so Liao Chu took it away when he saw it was ready, rolled it up a few times with chopsticks, and dipped it into the prepared cold water bowl.

The soft, viscous syrup immediately sets into a pale golden sugar shell.

The tip of the tooth is slowly pressed up, and a crisp cracking sound can be heard.

However, the apple inside is soft, which can be regarded as crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.

The sweetness of rock sugar and the fragrance of apple are presented in sequence, like unwrapping a present, giving people layer upon layer of surprises.

After eating the shredded apples, the candied haws are almost cold.

It works on the same principle as candied apples, but with a completely different taste.

The sourness of hawthorn well dilutes the greasy taste brought by a lot of sweets, making people salivate, and at the same time, the feeling of fullness in the abdomen is also reduced a lot.

After eating a bunch of candied haws, Liu Xi rubbed her stomach, feeling a little unsatisfied.

The sugar soothed his vicissitudes of life that were repeatedly tortured by the manuscript, and even made him feel a little bit happier.

But the self-control of adults plays a huge role at this moment.

Because he had been eating irregularly before, he suffered from chronic gastritis and dared not eat too much irritating food at one time.

"This taste is really good. It is exactly the same as the candied haws in my memory. When I went out a few days ago, I saw a seller selling candied haws. Guess how much a bunch is? Ten yuan! Isn't this a money grab? I was only fifty cents when I was young... "

That's it, it's still unpalatable.

*******

The next morning, Mrs. Ji came to book a box, "I want the younger one."

Liao Chu immediately thought of what Yu Yu told him yesterday.

For the young guest who was the first to contribute to his satisfaction, Liao Chu still had a little special treatment.

So...he silently prayed for the other party in his heart.

The system was dismantled lazily, "No power of faith has been detected."

Liao Chu didn't change his face, "There is still a sense of ritual."

He can only help so far.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Ji brought Ji Peng and his little tablemate.

The little girl named Gao Min was obviously a little nervous and shy, "Auntie, just eat something outside."

Liao Kee restaurant is quite expensive.

Mrs. Ji took her hand affectionately, but left her son behind, "It's just a simple meal, it doesn't cost much, and Pengpeng's grades have improved so much, it's all thanks to you, Auntie hasn't Thank you so much."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ji Peng felt as if he had been on a roller coaster.

For a while, I felt that my mother's mood was so high, the result shouldn't be too bad?

After a while, I feel that a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea, even if she looks on the surface, she can't be sure.

When going up the stairs, Yu Yu winked at him and clenched his fists:

Come on!

Ji Peng took a deep breath and feebly returned a fist:

I try my best.

No matter what, even if I get beaten back, I will admit it, anyway, I must take my deskmate out!

"Tsk tsk, youth..."

Familiar emotions rang in Yu Yu's ears, and he was so frightened that he frowned, "When did you come here?!"

Uncle Song folded his hands behind his back, and instead of answering, asked, "Are you going to see your parents?"

Yu Yu wanted to cover his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense."

How big is this?Nothing happened after that.

Besides, children are thin-skinned, so I'm embarrassed to let them hear it.

We have known each other for so long, and the relationship is quite good, and we can be half of our relatives outside.

At this time, young Ji Peng was encountering the first big setback in his life, and everyone was quite anxious for him.

Zhizhi came over at some point, "I can't see it either..."

It would be great if it was in the lobby, and if something happens, everyone can still try to persuade them.

The crowd nodded.

After nodding, I felt something was wrong again, "Why haven't you come home yet?"

It's almost New Year's Eve!

Zhi Zhi giggled and said, "What's the hurry, there are air tickets anytime."

After returning home, it is inevitable to leave relatives, and those uncles and uncles from various schools are all speechless, and they are about to urge the marriage again.

It's annoying just thinking about it.

Yu Yu was about to say that air tickets would be expensive if it was late, but just as soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered that in front of him was a veritable rich second generation, so he swallowed the persuasion words whole.

As soon as Liao Chu lifted the curtain and came out, he found that this group of people was squatting head to head on the stairs, looking upstairs furtively, their behavior was very suspicious.

He skillfully pinched the back of Yu Yu's neck.

Yu Yu clutched his neck and turned back, his fair skin was stained with blood, "What, what are you doing!"

Lively and fragrant.

A word popped up in Liao Chu's mind without warning.

"I still want to ask you why." Liao Chu raised his eyebrows and asked.

Is it plausible for people outside to see it?

It's not time for dinner yet, and there are not many customers in the restaurant, most of them are concentrated in the lobby on the first floor.

But if that's the case, there are still people looking this way occasionally.

A group of people laughed and pretended to be stupid, and then dispersed.

Liao Chu was a little helpless, "How old are you..."

Still eavesdropping.

Not only the diners were curious, but Ji Peng and Gao Min in the upstairs box were almost dead curious too.

After entering, Mrs. Ji didn't talk about business, just ordered food, and asked Gao Min what he likes to eat, and what they usually do at school.

Ji Peng couldn't help urging, "Mom, if you have something to say, hurry up, he's going home."

Gao Min whispered: "No, it's okay, I called my mother and said that I want to go out to play with my classmates and go back later..."

Mrs. Ji looked at him, "My son is getting older, and he doesn't like to talk to his parents anymore. Is it okay for my mother to ask my classmates?"

Ji Peng shrank his neck and resigned himself to serving everyone tea and water, "Okay, okay..."

Seeing the way the mother and child got along, Gao Min suddenly relaxed.

"It's nothing. He worked very hard. We got the answer right yesterday. I think he might be in the top ten."

Ji Peng couldn't help puffing out his chest.

Did you hear it?

Your son!

Going to be admitted to the top ten in the class!

It is simply a historic breakthrough!

Mrs. Ji was overjoyed, "Really? You are not allowed to lie to Auntie."

Gao Min smiled and said, "Of course not."

Mrs. Ji prayed to Buddha.

If you can really enter the top ten in the class, at least one university will be no problem.

If it doesn't work, just choose an unpopular major, maybe you can make it to a first-class university.

The more Mrs. Ji looked at the little girl in front of her, the more she liked it, and then she looked at her son, feeling a little worried:

This son is a bit stupid, in every way.

"Minmin," Mrs. Ji picked up a shrimp for Gao Min, and said kindly, "Do you mind if Auntie calls you that?"

Ji Peng almost choked to death by himself and coughed loudly.

Gao Min's face flushed red, she was a little embarrassed, "I don't mind..."

Mrs. Ji was afraid that she would be shy and refused to eat, so she offered to help peel the shrimp, and said in a soft voice, "Auntie invited you here today. There is no other meaning, so don't be nervous. First of all, Auntie would like to thank you for your kindness to Pengpeng. Help, this kid is not like you, he was very ignorant before, and his father and I are very worried..."

Gao Min shook her head and said seriously: "Auntie, don't say that, Student Ji is very good."

Mrs. Ji looked at her with a smile, "If you say that, Auntie can rest assured."

Gao Min suddenly realized something, blood was almost dripping down his face.

Ji Peng's face was burning, and he couldn't help begging in a low voice: "Mom..."

Mrs. Ji ignored him, and said softly: "The feelings of youth are very precious, like a flower that only blooms once in a lifetime. Someone wants to bloom but has no chance, so you should cherish it."

She is really too gentle, so gentle that Gao Min almost wants to cry.

Her parents are both high school teachers, and they have been very strict with her since she was a child, and she will be punished if her grades fluctuate slightly...

She never thought that there would be such a gentle mother in the world.

Mrs. Ji gave them some fish respectively, and said seriously:

"The world is so big, it is not easy to meet someone you like at a young age, no matter what happens in the future, this experience will definitely be an indelible treasure in your life.

The future is still very long, and there will be many difficulties that you can't imagine now. If there are like-minded people supporting each other, many difficulties will not be difficult.

I won't object to your dating, but I still have to say, as students, your primary task now is to study, and your grades must not drop, okay?

You must go to university, and you must go to a good university. Don't listen to the rumors that reading is useless. Believe me, reading is very useful.

You have to go out and see the world with your own eyes..."

They all have bright futures.

Therefore, shrinking and fear should not exist.

Before coming, the two children made many assumptions, and even thought about what to do if the words were violent on the spot.

But now...

Mrs. Ji wiped her hands, looked at the two children with a smile, "So, okay, show me the admission letter together, okay?"
