The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 411 Yingzi
"Bang bang bang bang."

The sound of chopping stuffing rang from eleven o'clock to half past twelve, and it didn't seem to stop.

"Don't chop it up, I'll take care of the rest, and you can dry it." Zhu Debao pointed to the remaining half pot of sauerkraut and said to Yingzi.

Yingzi stopped the knife and took the chopped sauerkraut stuffing to dry.After she finished shaking, Zhu Debao chopped up the remaining sauerkraut, brought it over to her and told her that he would shake it, and asked her to prepare it.

The two cooperated tacitly, and after an hour, the sauerkraut filling was prepared, and then sealed in plastic.It was four o'clock when everything was finished, and the maintenance man also came.

"Thank you." Yingzi said to Zhu Debao.

"Thank you." Zhu Debao smiled embarrassedly, and then said: "Hurry up and go back, I have to cook for the child when I go back, I will watch here, and leave after repairing."

"That's hard work for you."

"fine."

Yingzi changed her clothes and came out, and rolled out the electric car from the shed.The electric car was given by Sister Gao. Her son bought a car and gave the electric car to Yingzi when he retired.

Yingzi got on the electric scooter and just walked to the gate when Zhang Li came out from the main gate. Seeing Yingzi leaving, she asked, "Why do you get off work today?"

"Chop stuffing, the stuffing machine is broken." Yingzi said.

"Oh, wait a minute." Zhang Li then took out a bag from the trunk of the car, walked up to Yingzi, and said, "I'll find some clothes for you, some of which are not upper body, I'm fat, and I can't wear them." After speaking, hand the bag to Yingzi.

"You can keep it," Yingzi said.

"What are you wearing? Don't you see how fat I am?"

Zhang Li passed the bag forward again, and Yingzi took it generously, saying, "Thank you."

"Hey, Jingzheng is useless. Hey, by the way, I have good news for you. Your dead brother is coming back." Zhang Li said.

"Really?" Yingzi asked in surprise.

"Soon, just a few days."

Of course Yingzi was happy to learn that Lao Tan was coming back. To be honest, she missed Lao Tan, not that kind of thinking, but brother and sister's thinking.

If it weren't for Lao Tan, she might still be the same as before, working two days here and two days there, earning her life all over the world.

The provincial capital is extremely hot in August. Although it is afternoon, the sun has already set to the west, and the space between the sky and the earth is still like a stewing furnace, and you will be sweating for a while.

There is a watermelon seller under the shade of the trees on the side of the road. Yingzi stops to buy a watermelon to go home. The child is studying at home during the holidays. There is no air conditioner in the house, just an electric fan, not to mention the heat.

"How much is a catty?" Yingzi asked.

The man in the straw hat selling watermelons replied, "One piece."

"Aren't they all [-] cents?" Yingzi said.

"It's Bamao, don't you look at what kind of melons they are, can they compare with my melons? I picked these melons this morning, each one is sweet, and the flesh and sand are removed. It doesn't cost money if you don't remove the sand." Say.

Yingzi said, "Then choose one for me."

The man lowered his body to pick melons, when Yingzi heard someone behind her calling her: "Aunt Yingzi, don't buy it, I'll take it."

Yingzi turned around and saw Lao Tan's son Jiaheng riding a shared electric scooter with one foot on the ground and a watermelon in the basket.

"My mother is on a business trip. I went to your house for dinner. I went downstairs to see a watermelon seller at the gate of my neighborhood. I bought one," Jia Heng said.

Yingzi told the man who sold the watermelon that he would not buy it, and the man joked: "Your nephew is stealing my business."

Yingzi smiled and walked back with Jiaheng, she asked Jiaheng: "Why is your mother on a business trip again?"

"It was said that the warehouse was opened in Changchun, and she went to arrange the dispatch of the carts." Jiaheng said.

"Oh, your dad will be back in two days."

"Yes, my dad called."

"What do you want to eat? Auntie will make it."

"You can eat whatever you want——steamed buns, egg soup."

"Okay, eat buns and egg soup."

When Zhang Li got home, Lao Huang had already prepared the meals and bought cold beer, apparently wanting to drink something for the couple.

The couple now live happily and carefree.Zhang Li recovered completely, became richer, and went to and from get off work every day.Lao Huang has one more year to retire. He is a teacher who is taking care of apprentices. He gets off work at [-]:[-] every afternoon.

When Lao Huang got home, he would do the housework first, cook for dinner, and then wait for Zhang Li to come back.If the couple finished their meal early, they would go downstairs for a walk. They cuddled up to each other and sprinkled dog food. The whole community said they were happy.

Zhang Li changed her clothes, washed her hands and sat down, while Lao Huang poured wine.

"Is the store busy? Today." Lao Huang asked routinely, mainly out of concern, for fear that Zhang Li would be tired.

"It's okay." Zhang Li took a sip of the food, then picked up a cup and touched Lao Huang's cup, "It's not too busy, it's still the same."

The couple took a sip.

Lao Huang said: "That house of yours - that Shandong native is no longer renting it, and is planning to go back to his hometown."

"Oh."

"I went to the agency after get off work and continued to rent out."

"Row--"

As Zhang Li said this, Yingzi appeared in front of her eyes somehow, followed by Yingzi's home, a bedroom, a small living room, and a dining table in the small living room where Yingzi and his wife both ate and studied.

"Stop renting out." Zhang Li said.

"Then what are you doing?" Lao Huang was stunned and asked.

"It's better for Yingzi to live here if she has the money, but if she doesn't have the money, it's better than the single room she rented—it's not convenient for the mother and wife to share a bed when the child is getting older." Zhang Li said.

Lao Huang thought for a while and said: "It's okay, but you say that she can't live in it, so it doesn't matter if you set a price, so that people can accept it, am I right?"

"Yes! Lao Huang, I love you more and more." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Old Huang said: "Then I have to eat something good, or I won't be able to bear it."

"Cut! Old and unscrupulous."

Zhang Li was impatient, and immediately called Yingzi. Yingzi knew that Zhang Li was taking care of herself, so she was very grateful and promised to move in two days.

Zhang Li put down the phone in a good mood, raised her glass and said to Lao Huang, "Come on, Lao Huang, do one."

"Mom, are we moving?" Ruoxi asked after her mother finished answering the phone.

"Well, your Aunt Zhang Li's house is no longer rented out, let us live in it, two bedrooms and one living room." Yingzi said.

"Do we have to give them money?" Ruoxi asked.

"Can I live in vain? They don't want it, but we have to give it." Yingzi said, "That's it, you have your own room."

Ruoxi was very happy, and so was Jie Heng, who was eating steamed buns, and said, "This time our homes are closer, and we walked for only 8 minutes."

"You can come to my house for dinner every day." Ruoxi said.

"You don't know, I grew up eating Baijiafan, and I ate at other people's homes more than I ate at my home. The most frequent one was my Uncle Li's, almost every day."

"I can't blame you for wandering around." Yingzi boasted.

"Aunt Yingzi, I am very old. I went to make-up classes by myself when I was four years old, and went home by myself after class. When I was six years old, I sat and drove to my grandma's house by myself. The driver uncle said that I was wandering.

In the twelfth year, my mother promised to take me back to my grandma's house during the winter vacation, but she went to work during the holiday and said she had no time.I got angry and ran away secretly, and I didn't call her until Beipiao, which frightened her.Hehe, my old aunt drove to the passenger station to pick me up and gave me a scolding. "

The kid started showing off his glorious history.
