Zhang Xiaobei washed the dirt off the dishes, took a package of braised beef noodles from the grocery store, and prepared to cook a piece of ham sausage together.

It would be great if there were eggs, and a fried egg would be delicious on top of the noodles.Zhang Xiaobei thought in his heart, or else he would get a few chicks to raise in the backyard.It doesn't take much effort. In the future, not only will you have eggs to eat every day, but you can also kill and eat meat when you get fat.

While thinking happily, his hands kept stirring the noodles.

At this time, the phone screen lit up, it was a message from my friend Tao Guang.

Tao Guang grew up with him since he was a child, and he is a good brother he has known since kindergarten.This time he suddenly resigned and went home to take care of the elderly, which shocked him severely.After repeatedly confirming that nothing happened to him, he was relieved only after he simply didn't want to stay in the city anymore.

Tao Guang was very envious of himself, and pestered him on his mobile phone a lot these days.

"It's fine, you kid. You can leave as soon as you say something. Niu, how are you doing there these days? Wouldn't it be nice not to go to work?"

Zhang Xiaobei replied with an extremely unflattering expression of "what do you think?", Tao Guang gritted his teeth, if he was not at work, he wished he would immediately fly over and beat him up.

"By the way, can you do me a favor?"

"Call me Dad." Tao Guang said without hesitation.

Zhang Xiaobei: "...Forget it if you don't help, I planned to ask you to come to my place to play, with food and lodging included. Now it's all right, I'm going to invite someone else."

Tao Guang: "...You son of a bitch, if you dare to invite others, it's over. Tell me what you're doing."

"I have a diamond, please help me to have it appraised." Zhang Xiaobei's tone was calm, as if what he told the other party was a very worthless thing, such as a big duck egg or something.

Tao Guang was taken aback for a moment, but quickly calmed down and replied, "Where did you get the diamonds from?"

Zhang Xiaobei: "I picked it up."

Tao Guang: ...

"Then you don't need to identify it, it must be fake." Tao Guang said firmly, "After all, you are a non-chief, what good things can you pick up?"

Zhang Xiaobei let out a 'hey' and made a bet with him, "What if it's true?"

"Really, I call you dad." Tao Guang was straightforward and confident.He didn't believe in his own judgment, he just affirmed and determined that such a good thing would never happen to his brother, otherwise he would have done it early, and he would have waited until now.

Zhang Xiaobei rolled his eyes, the noodles were cooked by now, so he didn't bother to tell him more.He directly said that he would send the diamond to him and let him take it for appraisal.In the end, he quit the chat page with a ruthless sentence of "waiting for you to call me daddy", and sat in the courtyard with a small milk pot and started to eat.

Although instant noodles are not nutritious, the taste is not as interesting as home-cooked meals or takeaways, but I don’t know why it is addictive, and I miss it after a long time.

A bag of noodles was quickly finished by him, Zhang Xiaobei didn't even spare the soup, he drank it all.After cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, he sat on the chair boredly, and his subordinates opened up the canteen operating system by mistake.

My own shelf was still empty with two lights on, looking very pitiful.

Why don't you get something, anyway, if you are idle, you are idle.

This time Zhang Xiaobei uploaded his favorite spicy strips.

When Zhang Xiaobei saw the spicy strips, he thought of the handmade spicy strips he often ate when he was in the city. It was much more delicious than the [-] cents packaged spicy strips.

Zhang Xiaobei's taste is on the spicy side, and he doesn't like sweet food the most.But now most of the spicy strips on the market are sweet and spicy, which makes Zhang Xiaobei very depressed.

Later, he became fascinated by the handmade spicy strips sold by street vendors, which are made of beef tendon noodles and come in many flavors.Garlic, spicy, slightly spicy and five-spice, Zhang Xiaobei began to salivate when he thought of it.

I don't know if they sell beef tendon noodles here. If you meet him, you must buy some and try to make it yourself.Anyway, I still have to send the diamond to Tao Guang, so I might as well go to town the day after tomorrow to have a look.

It was still early before going to bed, and there was no internet at home, so Zhang Xiaobei rolled up his sleeves and started tidying up the canteen.Grandpa's canteen is not big, just two containers.

In addition to food, there are some daily necessities, such as detergent, soap, etc., so much that I can't use it up.

Zhang Xiaobei sorted them into categories according to the due time, and planned to dispose of these things cheaply in the village in two days.

After tidying up until he felt sleepy, he washed up and went to bed.

In the early morning of the next day, the staff of the business hall arrived as scheduled, and it took a whole morning to connect the network cable of the house. Zhang Xiaobei finally got rid of the 'isolated' life.

After seeing off the staff, Zhang Xiaobei pushed the old man Le out, and wanted to go to the town to deliver a courier, have a meal, and buy some rice, flour, grain and oil.

He was sitting in the car and was about to start it, when Grandma Li across the house led her granddaughter and walked towards him in a hurry.

"Xiaobei, are you going to town?"

Zhang Xiaobei nodded.

"Then can you take me with you? I'll go to the town to sell vegetables." Grandma Li turned her body sideways and showed Zhang Xiaobei the vegetable basket behind her, which was full of all kinds of fresh vegetables.It looks like it was pulled out in the morning, and it is tender and tender.

Zhang Xiaobei was a little hesitant, he didn't want to go with someone he didn't know well.What's more, sitting in a closed car will make him feel uncomfortable.But looking at the old and the young, Zhang Xiaobei couldn't bear to say no.

"it is good."

Grandma Li thanked him with a smile, and led her granddaughter into the car.After they sat down firmly, Old Tou Le set off.Zhang Xiaobei drove the car very fast, hoping to reach the destination quickly.

"Xiao Bei, why do you want to come back all of a sudden." She frowned her very light eyebrows, her loose skin drooped down, her eyes were puzzled.

Zhang Xiaobei laughed and said, "I don't want to stay in the city anymore."

Although Grandma Li still didn't understand, she didn't ask him any more. Zhang Xiaobei secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Then what are you going to do in the village? Are you going to reopen your grandfather's canteen?"

Before Zhang Xiaobei could answer, Grandma Li started talking on her own.

"Your grandfather is a good man. Seeing that there are only us old guys in the village, it's not easy to buy things, so we opened a small shop. The price is affordable, which is convenient for the big guys. It's a pity, why doesn't this good man get a good reward."

Mentioning his grandfather Zhang Xiaobei was a bit sad, but he didn't want to show it to outsiders, so he just said, "Will no one open another family after that?"

After all, grandpa has been away for more than two years. Did no one in the village see this business opportunity during this time?

Grandma Li sighed, and said earnestly: "Xiaobei, you just came back and you don't know the situation in the village. It's not that simple to open a small store. You have to go to buy goods. Our village is so far away from the town, and it takes about the same to walk there. 40 minutes. This is still the footsteps of your young people. It takes an hour for us older people to stop and go, let alone carry goods. There is only one young man in our village, and the rest are either old or old. Little, how can you do this?"

"Why doesn't Brother Xiaobing open it?" Zhang Xiaobei was a little curious.

"Hey, Xiaobing, poor boy. You don't know, Xiaobing used to work outside and earned some money. Seeing that the house at home is about to be built soon. His father is suffering from cancer at this time. It was all spent and it was not cured, and it owed a whole lot of debt to the villagers.

After his father left, his mother's body was broken.Liu Bing is a filial child, so he doesn't go to the city anymore.Just farming at home to take care of his mother, and then go to town to do odd jobs when the farming is slack.He wants to open it, but he has no money.Only your grandfather in the village has this small car, which is fast and convenient for pulling goods.Your grandfather is also a warm-hearted person. Opening a canteen not only relieved himself, but also helped us. "

After she finished explaining the reason, Zhang Xiaobei fell silent. He really didn't know that a small store was so important to the villagers.

He grew up and lived in the city, and he has long been accustomed to the convenience of the city and enjoys the convenience brought by the rapid development of the city.But I forgot that there is still such a group of people, they seem to have been forgotten by the world, and they have not enjoyed any progress brought about by technological development.

Zhang Xiaobei's heart for not opening the canteen was a little shaken at the moment.

When he arrived in the town, he put Grandma Li at the gate of the market.He also told her that he could send her back after finishing his work in a while, and let her wait for him here.

Grandma Li didn't know how to thank him, so she thanked him directly in a hurry.

Watching Grandma Li enter the market, Zhang Xiaobei locked the car.Only then did I start strolling around the door, thinking about what to eat.

Although the town is not big, there are many small shops selling food, such as rice noodle casserole and cold noodle.There are also scallion pancakes, egg-filled pancakes and other snacks.

Zhang Xiaobei looked over one by one with his hands behind his back, and finally stopped at the door of a small shop.

This small shop has a small door and doesn't even have a signboard, and he doesn't need one.There is a large iron pot full of cornmeal batter at the door of the store, which is its signboard.People passing by will immediately know what this store sells just by looking at it, and Zhang Xiaobei is no exception.

Standing next to the pot was a muscular man in a white vest.He was holding a large rolling pin in his hand, and he was stirring the bubbling pot constantly.

After stirring dozens of times in a row, he picked up the rolling pin and held it in mid-air, as if observing the state of the batter.Seeing that it was stirred without any lumps, he turned off the fire, and quickly poured all the batter into a large clean bucket next to him and carried it in.

At the back of the store is the back kitchen, where two women are busy.Seeing the man come in, he hurriedly took out a large basin, filled half of it with cold water and put it on the table.One person held a large funnel in his hand, and the other held a large spoon, scooped the cornmeal batter in the bucket on the funnel, and pressed it with the bottom of the spoon.

The batter was stirred very smooth, like naughty little fish got out of the small holes in the funnel, and quickly filled the basin.

Zhang Xiaobei walked in at this time, "A bowl of soy sauce and fish, put more spicy peppers." After ordering, he found an empty seat and sat down quietly waiting for the food to be served.

Seeing the guest coming, the woman hurriedly handed the big spoon in her hand to the man, took a bowl herself, scooped a big spoonful of fish from the basin, and finally scooped some dried chili pieces from a large porcelain bowl next to it. Pour in the light green soup.

This soup is not something that has changed its quality, it is processed syrup, and it is the foundation of the store, because it determines the success or failure of a bowl of syrup.

The syrup is fermented with celery, noodle soup, and yeast fermented glutinous rice. It tastes sour and has a fragrance of celery.Especially in summer when the appetite is low, it is the most refreshing to have a bowl to clear away the heat.

Before serving, add a spoonful of stir-fried chives according to the needs of the guests, and a bowl of scalloped fish is complete.

"Come on." Following the yell of the proprietress, a bowl of soy sauce fish fish was placed in front of Zhang Xiaobei. "The chili is on the table, put it yourself."

After the proprietress finished speaking, she went back to the back kitchen and started to work. Zhang Xiaobei picked up the spoon and started to taste.

He first scooped a large spoonful of Youpo Lazi into the bowl. Youbo Lazi is said to be fragrant, but spiciness is second, so it doesn’t matter if you put more.

Red chili mixed with green chives and yellow fish looks particularly appetizing, making the mouth watering and salivating.He licked his lips and impatiently scooped a spoonful into his mouth.

The batter is not slippery, and it doesn't stick to the teeth at all. You don't need to bite your teeth. It slides into the stomach along with the soup.

The author has something to say:

Yuyu is also called leaking fish. It can be made not only from cornmeal, but also from starch.I heard that the leaked fish in some places is still sweet. I haven’t tasted it so I don’t know if it’s delicious. Have you tried it? It’s so strange [笑哭.jpg]
