People in the restaurant and shop can use the landline at will, which shows that the boss is a very generous person.

After Xiao Le dialed the familiar phone number, a middle-aged man's voice came from there, "Who?"

"Brother Zhao, I'm Xiao Le, please let me find my eldest brother and sister-in-law."

After hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone couldn't help but twitch, "You wait."

The tone is not good.

After all, the original owner often called and had nothing else to do except ask for money.

Xiao Jun and Wen Mei had just finished breakfast, and at this time they were busy with their own things in the small room. Xiao Jun was mopping the floor, folded the table and placed it by the wall, and Wen Mei was packing the dishes.

They work on the construction site, and the couple can earn 120 yuan a day, and nearly [-] yuan a month, which is not bad.

In order to save money, they rented a house, cooked on the balcony, and ate and slept in the house.

Brother Zhao is their leader. He is the only one with a big brother. On weekdays, the workers would use his phone to call people with landlines in the village, asking them to help talk to their family members.

The original owner also called Brother Zhao often when he was in the village, so Brother Zhao knew that the other party was asking for money when he called.

"Xiao Jun! Your brother is calling again," Brother Zhao's voice came from the phone, and Xiao Le couldn't help but hook his lips.

In fact, Brother Zhao is a nice person.

Wenmei hurriedly asked Xiao Jun to open the door, "Brother Zhao."

"Give."

Brother Zhao gave the phone to Xiao Jun. After Xiao Jun thanked him, he put his eldest brother close to his ear, "Hello? Second child."

"Brother," Xiao Le's voice was obedient and sweet, "How are you and sister-in-law doing?"

Wenmei just washed the dishes and came over after wiping her hands. When she heard this, she frowned and leaned into Xiao Jun's ear and said, "Everything is fine. How are you and Tingting? Tingting was still there yesterday. The school called us."

"We're fine," Xiao Leqing coughed, "Brother, sister-in-law, I've found a job as a back cook in the county seat, it costs fifteen thousand a month, and I can eat whatever I want here."

"is it?"

Xiao Jun and Wen Mei were taken aback for a moment, but they didn't feel overjoyed, but rather worried.

"Then what, you can also eat work meals, don't eat the meals ordered by other people's guests, you know?"

"Yes, otherwise you will be fired."

"I know, I know," Xiao Le responded again and again, "My current number is from the restaurant. The boss is very nice. I called you to reassure you. I will definitely take care of myself and Tingting. And keep your mouth shut."

The couple were happy and relieved, and after hanging up the phone, Xiao Jun took out a pack of new cigarettes and stuffed them with Brother Zhao.

"Thank you Brother Zhao."

"Tsk, what are you doing?" Brother Zhao picked up the elder brother and pushed the cigarette back, "Your brother asks you for money?"

"No, he found a job, this kid finally figured it out," Xiao Jun smiled and opened the cigarette, took one and handed it to Brother Zhao, who took it this time.

"You guys are old and young. It's not easy to earn money. You have to plan for the future. Besides, your younger brother is an adult and he can take care of himself. My younger sister is pretty good. If you can help, please help. But in the end, it’s still your own little family that matters.”

After speaking, Brother Zhao left.

Xiao Jun closed the door, Wen Mei grabbed his hand and said with a smile, "I can feel that the second child really wants to have a good time this time!"

"I think so too," Xiao Jun hugged her, "but Brother Zhao is right, we can no longer indulge the second child, you think if we tell the second child that he lost his job, will he improve a bit?"

Wenmei was taken aback, then raised her head, "Then let's lie to him, what if he believes us and let us go home?" "That's easy, just say we pick up trash in the city."

Xiao Jun said.

So after eating the dumplings made by himself, Xiao Le, who was still happily preparing dishes, was called by the boss to answer the phone.

It was Brother Zhao who called, to the effect that he had been hiding it from him before. In fact, his brother and sister-in-law hadn’t worked for a while, and now they were picking up trash in the city. He also said that he should take care of himself in the future. money.

Xiao Le put down the phone in a daze.

"Xiao Le, what's wrong?"

Seeing that his expression was not right, the boss quickly asked, yesterday's business was good, and today many regular customers will come after hearing about it, so Xiao Le can't lose the chain at this time.

"My brother and sister-in-law are out of work, and now they are picking up trash in the city," Xiao Le said with a strange expression.

"It's okay, it's okay," the boss breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that something serious happened to his family, "As long as you work hard and send them money, you will find a new job sooner or later!"

Xiao Le's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "The boss is right, I must work hard!"

So I went back to the kitchen to prepare dishes.

The boss happily budgeted today's income, and Zhang San was still studying the recipe of spicy kidney with the recipe.

Xiao Wu washed out the lunch dishes, and then prepared the dishes that Zhang San wanted to fry, and Xiao Le didn't need him to worry.

Happiness Restaurant has released two famous dishes in the past two days. After eating once, I want to go for the second time. After going for the second time, I want to take the chef home!

"The spicy kidney is the best I've ever eaten! Don't believe me," said the uncle in a sweater, waving a big cattail fan under the tree to his friends.

"You are crazy, our county is full of delicious food, you went from our county to Mu County just for a waistline." A bald old man looked at the sweatshirt old man like a madman.

The old man in the undershirt was full of smiles, "No loss, no loss, I will go tomorrow. If you want to, let's form a table. It's better than a table for one person."

"Bring me one, I want to taste it, how delicious it is!"

"I'll go too! Anyway, my sons are also on vacation and they can take care of them for a few days, so I'll bring my wife too!"

Seeing that everyone was going, the bald old man hurriedly said, "Count me in!"

In less than half a month, Xingfu Restaurant not only became famous in Mu County, but people from several counties next door came here just to eat the two famous dishes of Xingfu Restaurant.

At the beginning, customers can buy it as long as they order it. Later, when there are more people, it is stipulated that they can only be eaten in the store, and they can only be ordered when there are other side dishes.

Even so, Xiao Wu alone is not enough, the boss himself helps to bring tea, water, and vegetables.

Compared with Xiao Le, Zhang San is the busiest, and he has so many side dishes that he can't help but Xiao Le can easily use two pots by himself now, and the dishes are served quickly and the portions are also sufficient.

"Salary increase, definitely wage increase!"

After finishing his busy day, Zhang San sat on the recliner happily and said to the boss.

"Increase! Everyone's salary will increase this month!"

As soon as the boss finished speaking, Xiao Le and Xiao Wu shouted happily.

"Boss, I'm going to make soup for my little sister now."

"go Go."

The boss waved his hand. Seeing Xiao Le enter the kitchen happily, he leaned in front of Zhang San and said, "Look at Xiao Le, who is skinny, why is he so good at eating?"

Zhang San glanced at him, "Come on, he eats a lot, but he also earns you a lot. If you think he is wrong, then let him go as soon as possible. Let me tell you, I have seen several people Come to find Xiao Le, trying to poach him away."

"What?! That's not okay!"

The boss stomped his feet, took 200 yuan from the counter, went to the kitchen and handed it to Xiao Le, "It's not for you, it's for your sister. Girls always buy some small things. Don't be polite to uncle!"

"Then thank you uncle," Xiao Le accepted with a smile.

Seeing Xiao Wu looking over, the boss gritted his teeth and gave the other 200 yuan, "Here, you can also buy some delicious and useful things for your partner, don't search so hard."

These words surprised Xiao Le, he turned to look at his roommate, "Do you have a date?"

Xiao Wu smiled shyly, "Yes, we have been talking for several years."

How many years?

Xiao Wu is only nineteen!

The love of childhood sweethearts made Xiao Le sigh, "It's so beautiful."

Xiao Wu was shy and didn't know how to answer this question, but it could be seen from the arc of his mouth that he was very happy.

Xiao Ting is skinny, so she needs to make up more. Girls have to eat and drink well when they are puberty.

After Xiao Le looked through the recipe, he decided to make simple and nutritious crucian carp tofu soup for Xiao Ting.

It just so happens that there are small crucian carp in the kitchen and unused tofu.

The crucian carp was still alive and kicking, but this was another new dish, and Xiao Le started to be clumsy again. Seeing that he couldn't even catch the fish steadily, Xiao Wu hurried over and held down the tail of the fish.

The crucian carp, which was obviously not big, was made as if it weighed more than ten catties by them.

The black film in the stomach of crucian carp must be removed, Xiao Le scraped the black film carefully.

"What's the next step?"

After Xiao Le finished shaving, he asked.

Xiao Wu took the rotten recipe and said, "Cut the tail."

"Cut the tail." Xiao Le was taken aback for a moment, and Xiao Wu quickly took it over, "Really, look at this."

Really, so Xiao Le subtracted the tail of the crucian carp, then cut the fish with a knife, cleaned it and put it aside for later use.

After preparing slices of onion and ginger and stuffing them into the belly of the crucian carp, Xiao Le scooped up some salt and put it in his hand, carefully rubbing some fine salt on the fish.

Cut the smooth and tender tofu, blanch it and put it in cold water for later use.

"Okay, let's start."

After Xiao Le washed his hands, he took the pot to heat the oil. Now he can pick up the pot and shake the oil in it very skillfully, unlike at the beginning when he couldn't even turn the pot over.

When the oil is [-]% hot, start frying the fish on low heat.

"Slow down, Brother Le."

When Xiao Wu saw Xiao Le turning over the fish, he reminded him in a low voice.

If you don't stop worrying, you may break your skin.

"OK, you trust me."

"o, okk?"

It was the first time for Xiao Wu to speak English like this.

"Yes, okk."

Xiao Le smiled at him. After the fish was fried until golden brown, Xiao Le poured boiled water. According to the recipe, the water covered the fish and waited for it to boil.

"My younger sister is very good, she is the best in our family," Xiao Le said about Xiao Ting, "But I always bully her, I am not a good brother."

Looking at Xiao Le, who was drooping his head and skimming off the foam in the pot with a spoon, Xiao Wu said softly, "It's too late to be nice to her."

"I'll try my best to correct it," Xiao Le nodded vigorously, drained the tofu and put it into the pot. After the milky white soup submerged the tofu, the strong smell of crucian carp soup was in the air.

"Add a little salt," Xiao Le scooped up a little salt and poured it into the pot, making the corner of Zhang San's mouth twitch.

"I see him talking about a pinch of salt, but he can put as much as he wants."

The soup was simmered on a low fire until the soup was thick and white, and the delicious crucian carp tofu soup was ready. Xiao Le turned off the fire, took out the soup box and packed it, and rode the boss's bicycle directly to the county high school.
