Rebirth 1986

Chapter 173 Recipe
Both Xiang Xiulan and Wei Qingshan are not petty people, plus the little guy occasionally utters a few childish words that make people laugh, the few of them only get along for a while as if they are acquaintances who have known each other for a long time, saying It was so lively, even Mr. Xiang stroked his beard and laughed, telling jokes.

It's just that it's a bit out of place with this lively scene, the man on the lower bunk opposite is still silent, just sitting on the sidelines watching his nose, nose, nose, nose, and heart.

When it was getting dark outside, Mr. Xiang was the first to be unable to withstand the onset of drowsiness. An Qing gave up the lower berth to the old man, while she climbed into the middle berth to sleep, and Wei Qingshan on the opposite side also coaxed Xiao The guy was sleeping, so the few of them simply stopped talking, went to bed and rested, and fell asleep drowsily by the time the lights were turned off. It was a very quiet night.

It was still early when he woke up the next day. After An Qing rubbed his eyes and climbed down from the middle bunk, he realized that the others were already awake.

Xiang Xiulan looked at An Qing who was still a little confused and said with a smile: "Are you awake? The train passed a small station just now, and someone was selling food with a basket over there, so I bought some, you hurry over there Wash up and wake up, and then come over to have breakfast together."

An Qing looked at the table, only to find that there were a lot of twists and a few hot eggs on it, and Mr. Xiang was holding one in his palm to warm his hands, while Wei Qingshan on the opposite side was putting on a coat for the little guy , it seems that it is just starting.

Mr. Xiang smiled at An Qing, An Qing nodded politely, combed his hair with his fingers, then randomly braided a big braid and let it fall to one side, and then went to the junction of the carriages with a water cup. After finally queuing up to get some cold water to wipe his face, feeling his mind cleared up, he went to the place where the boiling water was served to get a cup of hot water, and then walked back to the bunk.

As soon as she sat down and put the water glass down, Xiang Xiulan stuffed An Qing with two hot eggs and two marijuana flowers, "Eat it while it's hot, or it will get cold later."

An Qing smiled and said thank you, and didn't refuse any more. She just took an egg and peeled it, and waited to peel half of it, only to find that the person on the lower bunk opposite hadn't eaten anything. An Qing thought for a while, and directly He took a twist and an egg and handed it to the man.

This time the man was not refusing, but took it after a moment of hesitation.

"Thank you."

"No, it's just that Miss Xiang gave me too much and I can't eat it." An Qing said with a smile, then sat back to the original place and continued to peel the eggs.

Xiang Xiulan took advantage of the time when the person on the opposite side was eating mahua, she hurriedly pulled An Qing's sleeve and whispered to her ear, "Sister, do you know that ice lump?"

An Qing heard that Xiang Xiulan had given that person a nickname, and then glanced at his expressionless face when he was eating, and couldn't help but sneered and said, "I just met before, but he helped me."

Only then did Xiang Xiulan say meaningfully, and she said, that person has been icy and unwilling to talk to anyone, just now she took the initiative to let him eat and he didn't want to talk, as if he didn't want to be close to strangers. If An Qing gave it to him, he would actually speak next, which is so rare, it turned out that they had known each other for a long time.

Mr. Xiang at the side looked at the man across from him with deep thought in his eyes, but he didn't say much, he just started teasing the little guy from Wei Qingshan's family. They chatted, laughed and had a lively meal. After a while, the four of them came together one after another. After getting off the car at the next two big stations, the little guy was reluctant to part with An Qing, An Qing generously packed him a small package of snacks, and he was happily hugged by Wei Qingshan and got off the car.

As for Mr. Xiang and Xiang Xiulan, An Qing just bid farewell to them, and did not keep in touch with each other. After all, this kind of fate that meets by chance happens from time to time. Maybe after this time, they will never see each other again in their lifetime. The contact information is also useless.

After the four of them left, the space immediately became deserted. An Qing looked at the man on the opposite side who was still silent, and she was also happy and quiet. She refolded the quilt on her own and threw it behind her head. I read the book above, but I was thinking about buying the recipe for hot sauce.

The place she is going this time is Wanshan County in Province G. It takes nearly 25 hours to get there by train from City A to the provincial capital, and then she has to transfer from the provincial capital to get there. It was time to arrive at the station in about three hours. She carefully recalled the deeds in the reports she had read in her heart, and after confirming the route, she was thinking about how to find the woman named Dong Huahua after she went there.

Time passed quickly, and while waiting for the train to arrive at the station, An Qing hadn't figured it out yet, so he simply stopped thinking about it, and made plans after arriving in Wanshan County, and got out of the car with a satchel At the same time, the man on the opposite side was also leaving, and the two walked out of the car door one after the other, but after waiting for An Qing to squeeze out of the crowd, they found that the man had long since disappeared.

An Qing looked around, walked out of the train station following the flow of people, and then found a bus station not far away. After queuing for a long time, she realized that there was no ticket to Wanshan County at all. District ticket, after the past, write the hotel to rest for a night and then change trains to Wanshan County.

Needless to say, the bumpy road took nearly a day and a half before Anqing arrived at the destination. There is no scenery of the county town at all, it looks like a poor town, dilapidated houses can be seen everywhere, and people who pass by occasionally It can also be seen from the clothes of the pedestrians here. The economic conditions here are really not very good. It can be said that it is much worse than the small town before the county seat was moved.

An Qing looked around, and found that it might be just after the Lantern Festival, it was cold outside and there were no passers-by, so he went to the roadside and started to inquire, but he didn't think about asking. Many people said that there was no one named Dong Huahua, An Qing At a loss, I finally met an old man carrying charcoal and asked a little strangely.

"I don't know who Dong Huahua you are talking about. Old man, I have spent most of my life in Wanshan County, and I have never heard of anyone named Dong Huahua."

"Then is there a family named Dong here?" An Qing asked quickly.

The old man smiled and said: "There is someone surnamed Dong. Nuo, there is a noodle stall at the corner of the intersection ahead. That person's surname is Dong, but she seems to be called Dong Dani."

After finishing speaking, the old man left directly. Anqing stayed where he was for a while, and then suddenly remembered that Dong Huahua was selling noodles before she got rich, but how could she be called Dong Dani?After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't come up with a clue, so she simply walked over there, ready to go and have a look.

Walking along the yellow mud road all the way to the intersection, I saw a dilapidated house in front of a big pot propped up by bricks to boil hot water. There were a few old tables and stools in the house, and a man in his thirties was standing in front of the desk. The middle-aged woman was having a face-to-face meeting, her short hair was a little messy from the wind blowing in from outside.

An Qing stood in front of the door for a while, and Dong Dani found her before she could speak. When she looked up and saw a strange face, she was stunned for a moment, and then grinned enthusiastically and said, "Big girl, do you want to eat noodles? The noodles here are fragrant and hot, I guarantee you will want to eat it again after eating it once."

Hearing this, An Qing simply walked into the store and laughed, "Give me a bowl, but I like spicy food, I wonder if you have it here, sister-in-law?"

"Yes, yes, the noodles at our stall are different from those of other places. You can have any flavor you want. Nuo, fermented bean curd, spicy sauce, and scallion sauce. You can have whatever you want." Dong Dani enthusiastically asked An Qing to sit At the table next to the stove, he quickly asked: "Big sister, do you eat a big bowl or a small bowl?"

An Qing thought for a while, "Small bowl, add more spice!"

"Okay, you sit down first, and the noodles will be ready soon."

While talking, Dong Dani quickly took out some cut noodles from the wooden plate next to her, got some cabbage leaves and threw them into the already tumbling boiling water. Seasonings, waited for the seasonings to be put in place, then scooped up the soup and filled the noodles, walked to the side of the small wooden cabinet and took out a big jar, made a lot of shiny red hot sauce from it and spread it on the noodles, and then gave it to An Qing Bring it over.

An Qing looked at the hot sauce in the bowl and felt familiar. When he was waiting to mix the noodles and eat it, he was almost sure that this was the hot sauce that was popular all over the country and even dumped overseas. Although the taste was different, it was clearly It was more delicious and mellow than the canned ones of those later generations, and at this time, she was almost sure that Dong Dani was Dong Huahua.

Looking up at Dong Dani who was busy on the desk again, An Qing realized that she was not very old, but her back actually looked like an old man's stoop, and even when she occasionally pushed her hair behind her ears, she could faintly see the black hair behind her ears. There are some silvery white hairs in the hair, which turned out to be gray hairs at a young age.

"Sister-in-law, can you get me a bowl of hot soup?" An Qing suddenly asked.

"Of course." Dong Dani replied quickly, and while speaking, she came over with a bowl of hot soup and placed it in front of An Qing. Seeing that she had finished eating the noodles, she smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.

Seeing that she turned around and wanted to leave, An Qing quickly said, "Sister-in-law, if you're not busy, can we have a chat?"

Dong Dani turned her head to see that there was no one coming and going on the road in front of the door, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Big sister, what do you want to talk about?"

Seeing that Dong Dani was willing to talk to her, Anqing was relieved, so she asked Dong Dani a lot of things here on the pretext that she was not from Wanshan County. Dong Dani was honest and upright. She got a lot of words out of her, and An Qing also knew why a woman who had just turned 30 had gray hair early, and her figure was like an old woman.

Dong Dani is not a native of Wanshan County, but from a nearby mountain. Back then, her parents saw that this was a county town with good conditions, and the man who told her to kiss her had only a young brother in his family. She married and came to be the head of the family. Who knew that within a few years of her marriage, her man died unexpectedly in a mine accident, but the original good conditions became the greatest suffering. Dong Dani had to take care of two young children and her parents-in-law alone. , but also to support her husband's younger brother to study in college. It can be said that the burden of the whole family falls on her alone.

An Qing listened to Dong Dani's calm narration, there was no complaint at all in those words, she couldn't help admiring, how many women in this world can be like Dong Dani, she was only 23 years old when her man died, and she was in her prime , and her appearance is not bad, it is not impossible to find someone else, but she just guards that dilapidated home, not only taking care of her in-laws and children, but even training a college student.

Originally, Anqing wanted to lower the price of the hot sauce recipe, but now she has no such thoughts at all. She directly explained her desire to buy the hot sauce recipe. Dong Dani curiously asked her where she knew it, and Anqing just shirked it from other places. I heard that today I just came here to have a try and buy it if I can, but the price that An Qing offered Dong Dani surprised her.

Thirty thousand, a total of 3 yuan, Dong Dani was dumbfounded when she heard the price An Qing said. In her opinion, this hot sauce is for selling noodles by herself. Even if someone wants to buy it, she can give it a few dozen One yuan is not bad, but who knew that Anqing would pay 3 yuan when he opened his mouth.

An Qing looked at Dong Dani's stupid look and didn't laugh at her, but said: "Sister-in-law, I won't hide it from you, I will definitely make money by buying this hot sauce recipe, so I won't lose you 5 yuan at all, you see if you If you want, you can sell this formula to me, but we have to agree on one condition in advance, that is, once you sell this formula to me, you can no longer make it and sell it in the future, and the formula can no longer be given to anyone. Sign the agreement in advance, if the formula is leaked, you will be responsible."

Dong Dani nodded again and again, "I naturally save this, since I sold it to you, it must be yours, and I will never use it again, but girl, this thing...is it really worth [-]?"

An Qing replied with certainty: "It's worth it."

Dong Dani fell silent when she heard the words, thinking of her parents-in-law and young children, and her uncle who went to college far away and couldn't come back for the Chinese New Year because of lack of money, she directly agreed to sell the formula, and asked embarrassingly The recipes of several other sauces Anqing could not read, Anqing thought about it and tasted other flavors by the way, although not as distinctive as chili sauce, but they are also very delicious, especially the taste of fermented bean curd is unique, so It was agreed to accept all three recipes including fermented bean curd, chili sauce and special sauce, and Dong Dani was given a total of 5 yuan for the price.

After the two made an agreement, Dong Dani closed the noodle shop that day and asked An Qing to rest at her home. In the next few days, Dong Dani prepared the three sauces in front of An Qing, and An Qing I stood by the side and memorized it in my heart, and recorded it with a pen and paper, from as small as the amount of each ingredient to as large as the ratio of water to oil, and carefully wrote down every word, and then I made it again according to the ratio. While waiting for the six jars of sauces to be ready to eat, she tasted the taste and confirmed that there was no problem with the formula, then took Dong Dani to the local city by car, and found a lawyer to justify the formula transaction. I left that place with a few pieces of paper and rushed to the next place...
