Chapter 100 Guest House
As soon as the boss left, Xia Maosheng felt that something was wrong, and said, "Fuck, I can't really tell you right?"

Xiaowei scooped up a bowl of soup and drank it, saying, "I can't go wrong. I will never forget the taste of vegetables with bone meal. Eat? Are you full?"

Xia Maosheng looked at the back door of the restaurant, looked at the dishes on the table, looked at Xiaowei and asked, "Is this still edible?"

Xiaowei was surprised: "Why can't you eat it?"

Xia Maosheng ordered the dishes with chopsticks and said, "Didn't you say what was added, what?"

Xiaowei burst into laughter, and said, "You don't usually eat bones? Do you understand what you eat? If you can't bite, you think this bone will be thrown away? Don't worry, it's a good thing. Bone marrow is hematopoietic, and bone is It’s calcium-supplementing, and the bone powder smells really good.”

Xia Maosheng thought for a while and said: "It makes sense. I actually had this mentality when I gnawed on the bones. I can't chew it. It's a pity that I have to bite and suck a few more times after I gnaw all the meat. You are right, the bones It tastes really good."

Xiaowei pointed to the kitchen and said: "The boss must have an electric grinder behind him. Let's take these bones back and wash them, and then grind them for tomorrow. Will you eat pig food like me?"

Xia Maosheng sprayed all the soup on the ground beside him, coughed repeatedly, his face was flushed, and he pointed at Xiaowei, looking dumbfounded. It took him a long time to recover, and said: "Can you stop laughing like this, but This boss is also unlucky, haha, the secret recipe is just eaten by people eating pig food, I will go back and try it tomorrow. By the way, what wild hawthorn did you say, isn’t it hawthorn? That stuff Improve the taste too?"

Xiaowei nodded and said, "Yes, it improves the taste, but it's only effective for meat, and other things will spoil the taste."

Xia Maosheng asked: "What kind of meat is hit?"

Xiaowei nodded and said: "Any kind of meat is good, especially the beef. It usually simmers for an hour, but after adding wild hawthorn for 10 minutes, it will be rotten. The taste is good. Hawthorn can neutralize the peculiar smell in the meat. In fact, we are used to eating it." I can’t feel it, pork is fishy, ​​beef is smelly, mutton is smelly, dog meat is fishy and smelly, adding some hawthorn will not only rot faster, but also almost eliminate these peculiar smells, so it tastes better.”

Xia Maosheng asked: "Then why do you emphasize wild hawthorn?"

Xiaowei said: "Wild hawthorn is the fruit of the hawthorn tree that grows naturally in the mountains. It is cultivated naturally, and the effect is better than artificially planted. The planted ones may taste delicious raw, but the cooking effect is not good. How should I put it? You know hawthorn can cure chilblains, right?"

Xia Maosheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, hawthorn can also cure frostbite? Wouldn't that be a medicine?"

Xiaowei said: "Wild hawthorn is originally a traditional Chinese medicine, okay? Bake five or six wild hawthorns with tiles. After baking, apply it directly on the chilblain, remove the roots, and it will not cause it after it is cured. Just cure this chilblain. , three or four times of wild hawthorn will be enough, and six or seven times of planting at home, it must be that the effect is poor."

Xia Maosheng frowned and asked, "Why? What's the reason?"

Xiaowei shook his head and said, "I don't know, as long as it's useful, why don't you care about its rationale? If you grow worms and eat some candy worms, you'll kill them. You still have to study the principle?"

Xia Maosheng said: "That's different. Tacos are medicine. If you eat bugs, then what the fuck are you talking about eating?"

Xiaowei laughed and said, "What's the matter? It's not like playing with bugs in front of you. When we were young, it was common for us to carry our rice bowls into the latrine. What's the matter?"

Xia Maosheng asked: "Why? Why did you enter with a job bowl? Where did you enter?"

Xiaowei looked at Xia Maosheng contemptuously and said: "My brother will be afraid by himself, and I will go with him. Sometimes when he is eating, he will take it with him. What's wrong? How can there be so much attention in the countryside? I still look at it." It’s really interesting to eat fried dough sticks while pulling them.”

Xia Maosheng was stunned for a moment, then he burst out laughing, shaking into a ball from laughing.

Xiaowei continued to drink the soup and said: "This soup is really fragrant, thick and fragrant. In fact, no matter what, don't think too much. The more you think, the more complicated it becomes. It's so tiring. Eat, eat, and eat. Hurry up and find a place to lie down for a while, I want to sleep for a while when it gets warmer, you said to go to your house, oops, it's a crime."

Xia Maosheng said: "I didn't go home to stay with you. The point is that I don't want my family to know about this. If I know about it, I have to talk about it. After that, the money I earn is not mine. I have to save some money." Take money. Look at you, how confident you are in spending your own money. I have to pay my mother all my salary, and when I usually spend money, I secretly ask how much my sister wants."

Xiaowei nodded, took another bowl of sauerkraut soup and said, "Eat quickly. Anyway, except for your marriage, I will not go in the future, and I will not go if I die. I have a shadow in my heart."

Xia Maosheng also drank the soup, and said with a smile: "Meh. I'll call you when I get the money and get a house myself, okay? My old man is very old-fashioned and always treats me like a child. I'm 21 and scolding me." Just scold and beat, few of my buddies dare to go to my house, the key is that they are in their twenties, but what can the old man do if he doesn't treat these people as adults?"

After eating and drinking well, the two stroked their stomachs and called the boss to pay the bill, but the boss didn't come out, and a small worker in a year-old dirty chef's uniform ran out and said, "Brother, the boss said that he won't charge you. Just go. How about eating? I’ll take it when I’m done, and there’s still work to do.”

Xiaowei looked at Xia Maosheng, Xia Maosheng wiped his mouth and said: "Let's go, let's go to the guest house, and come to eat tomorrow. It would be great if we don't charge money in the future, hahaha."

Under Xiao Gong's inexplicable eyes, the two of them left the bone building and walked east along the road. Xia Maosheng grabbed the distance and said, "That's the city government, the Labor Bureau is there, the Personnel Bureau is there, and the guest house is there." This back."

Walk east along Liucheng Road for a few hundred meters, and after two crossroads you will find Chaoyang Street, where the city government is located.In ancient times, Chaoyang was divided into Longcheng and Liucheng. Longcheng was the imperial city, and Liucheng was the hometown of Li Guangbi in Anlu Mountain.

After finding the guest house, the two walked in.

The Chaoyang government is just a few three-story and five-story brick buildings, surrounded by a dam like a big courtyard, with a small square next to the gate. The government departments at this time are not as particular about appearances as later generations.The guest house is an old building, or half of it, which is an extension from the government.

The old iron signboard, two wooden framed glass doors, with red letters on the glass: guest house, open to the public.

Pulling open the heavy door, lifted the heavier cold curtain inside the door, and two people entered inside.It is quite bright, with four fluorescent lamps lit, not as dark as in the caves of ordinary public buildings.There is a wooden counter against the wall, and two middle-aged women are sitting behind the counter, talking and knitting.

There is a coal stove in the middle of the foyer on the side of the counter, and it is burning vigorously. The chimney is in the middle of the room and stretches out from a side window.
