After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Chapter 10 Half-Life Dish

There was no talking all night, and Xu Bo'an slept very soundly.

It was as if he hadn't had such a solid sleep in a long time.

When he was young, Xu Boan was busy working hard on the construction site, staying up late to dust, drawing, and writing work diaries.

After a few years, it evolved into staying up late drinking, playing cards, and even staying up late worrying.

Finally, I reached the end point where most engineering people end up, project managers.Xu Bo'an never had a full night's sleep.

Of course, if you go to bed at four or five in the morning and wake up at noon to go to bed, then the previous sentence can be invalidated.

After all, as the leader of the project, most of the time, although he cannot decide his own bed time, he can decide his own wake-up time.

But in those years, he no longer had that much sleep.

Firstly, there are many things that require racking your brains to deal with, and secondly, there are really too many ways for people to maintain their health in middle age.

Take a dip of ginseng, deer antlers, Ganoderma lucidum, wolfberry, and dendrobium officinale, and eat a tonic soup, dragon and phoenix soup, and crucian carp soup.

I don’t know if the food is real or not, and I don’t know if the cooking method of the construction site chef is authentic or not, but the quantity is really sufficient!

Just like this, people took turns giving him lots of food and drinks, which made him almost have a nosebleed. How could he sleep?

During his tenure as deputy chief engineer, he felt free and relaxed, but that was only superficial work.

Mentally, Xu Bo'an found himself moody, irritable, internally distraught, melancholy, and even a little shy to see people.

He seemed to be even more tired. In this state, it was even more difficult to have a peaceful sleep.

So after that night, when Xu Bo'an woke up naturally, no one started to do morning exercises.

Xu Boan opened the refrigerator and took a piece of bitter melon to make it cold, then heated up a steamed bun and an egg, and sat on the coffee table to eat breakfast.

In fact, Xu Boan has always eaten in the company or project canteen before. This is one of the few benefits that construction site dogs can get. After all, many companies and units do not have their own canteens.

It's just that since Xu Bo'an was promoted and demoted secretly, he has never eaten in the company cafeteria again.

Because the canteen is basically a separate room for the leadership team.

When dining in this room, Xu Boan basically has to face his superiors, as well as the managers or helpers who have promoted him overtly or covertly. After all, who can do this kind of thing without the nod of the company's senior management? arrive?
But, you still can’t do anything to others, whether you want to make them angry or not!
And whenever you come to eat, you sit around a round table, and it's inevitable that you'll start chatting.

How can you eat this meal when others basically ignore you?

No need to think about it, there is only one possibility for this state.

The company leader hates you!You will be isolated by people intentionally or unintentionally.

Others in the company may not feel it intuitively, but Xu Bo'an's current state is so embarrassing.

Therefore, Xu Boan stopped asking for trouble and simply stopped going to the company cafeteria to eat in the morning.

As for noon and evening.

Haha, aren’t all the lunches, dinners, and even late-night snacks for the engineering boss made by reservation?

Either you are invited to be an uncle, or you are invited to be a grandson, or brothers and units invite each other to chat and build relationships.

If breakfast wasn't a good time to treat guests to a meal and talk things over, they might not even have had the chance to eat breakfast in the cafeteria!Not to mention at home.

Of course, the marginalized Xu Boan is not included.

Therefore, for convenience, he still ate in the cafeteria at noon and evening.

Although people will point fingers behind his back, it doesn't matter. As long as Xu Bo'an says the food is bland, someone will come over and re-salt it for him; as long as he says he wants to eat garlic, someone will peel it for him right away.

Only at this time will Xu Boan grit his teeth and tell himself that you have not lost yet, you are still in this circle.

Perhaps, this is the meaning of many people striving to climb up.After all, the lower limit is there, so how much worse can it be?
While Xu Bo'an was eating, he looked at the living conditions of the little people in the bonsai.

The villagers in the bonsai got up much earlier than Xu Boan.

Xu Bo'an had already seen the smoke rising from the kitchen, and the big guys seemed to be making some moves. Basically, several men with good physical fitness were getting up.

Xu Boan listened for a while and found out that the villagers were discussing going to the market to buy some candies.

"If we sell the salt, won't we get money for the candy?"

"That's not okay. This is what Grandpa Mountain God gave us. How can we sell it casually without Grandpa Mountain God's consent?"

"That's right, and if you sell this kind of high-quality salt, thieves will probably be concerned about it. Besides, if the government servants ask about it, we won't be able to explain the source."

"Yes, the court does not allow the sale or manufacture of private salt."

"Then what should I do? Otherwise, ask Grandpa Mountain God for some sweets."

"How can you be so thick-skinned? We have hands and feet, but we always bother Grandpa Mountain God to do something."

When Xu Bo'an heard this, he was very pleased, feeling as if his child had grown up and become sensible.

"It doesn't matter, I'll take care of the sugar problem."

Soon, Xu Boan stood up and walked to the kitchen as he spoke.

Unexpectedly, the moment he stood up, a small piece of bitter melon held in his chopsticks fell down and fell right into the bonsai.

Xu Bo'an's heart almost rose to his throat. Before he could reach out to grab it, the piece of bitter melon fell on an open space not far from the villagers.

Xu Boyan felt scared for a while.

If this piece of bitter gourd hits a little person, it may not kill him, so he must be more careful in the future.

When the villagers saw something new appearing, they thought it was a new gift from the mountain god, and hurriedly gathered around to take a look.

By the time Xu Boan took out the sugar from the kitchen, the villagers were already chatting again, and Li Qingshi even opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue to spit.

"Bah, bah, bah, what is this? It tastes so bad, so bitter."

"Don't talk nonsense. The gift from Grandpa Mountain God is a gift from God. Little Shitou, you know nothing." said an uncle in his 50s.

"Third Master, I didn't mean that. I respect Grandpa Mountain God very much, but this thing is really painful."

"Oh, you kid doesn't know. This thing is called half-life vegetable. The younger you are, the less you like to eat it, and the more bitter you feel when you eat it. When you feel that it is not bitter, or even a little delicious, you are no longer interested in eating it. It’s a young man, you’re halfway through your life.”

After the uncle finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, and several of his peers beside him also sighed and nodded in agreement.

Xu Boan was a little dumbfounded, with an expression of knowledge.

Makes sense.

It seems that I have not liked eating bitter melon since I was a child. It seems that ever since I started paying attention to health care, I have taken the initiative to ask the kitchen to make bitter melon and eat it, and I will order bitter melon when I go to restaurants.

A half-life dish!
What a nice name.

Xu Bo'an had just lamented for two minutes when the phone rang.

Xu Boan frowned slightly, feeling quite surprised.

It seems that my cell phone has not rang at such an early time for a long time.

As soon as Xu Bo'an answered the phone, he heard a rushing voice on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Xu, it's bad, something big happened."
