love cafeteria

Chapter 2 Eggboy's Happiness

Egg boy, should be the youngest regular customer in Shenai Canteen, because he especially likes to eat eggs, he was dubbed "Egg Boy" by the regular customers of the cafeteria.The dress is a bit pompous.But this is also reasonable, young, and an actor who has just debuted, it is inevitable to have a little personality.

It's just that Tanzai just graduated and couldn't get any decent dramas. Fortunately, he has a good attitude, so the current situation can't dampen his enthusiasm for acting and his radiant dream for the future.To be honest, I am quite optimistic about him, so I once promised him that I would treat him to ten servings of steamed eggs on the day he won the Golden Horse Award for best actor.

The minced meat is already chopped.I put the stirred minced meat into a container, then used a spoon to make a small pit on the surface of the minced meat, picked a big and round egg and gently opened it, and then carefully poured the egg yolk and egg liquid over the In the pressed pit, the red meat filling looks very nice against the yellow egg yolk.Every time I make steamed meat, I like to use the best eggs and meat stuffing. Although the cost has increased, I like the fresh and tender taste of the steamed meat when it is made and the beautiful color at the moment, because, I am a chef.

The meat steamed egg is ready, I sprinkle chopped green onion on top.Sprinkling green onion is the same as sprinkling coriander. It is an art, an art of cooking. In addition to adding flavor to the food, the artistic platter or shape will bring pleasing enjoyment to the diners.

After that, I carefully put the meat steamed eggs into the heat preservation pot.

I poured myself a cup of tea and quietly watched the diners enjoy their food. Their joy was my best reward.

The old dean and Yingzi on the opposite side were eating their own food, talking in low voices about what happened around them recently.

"Dang", the door suddenly opened.Eggboy appeared at the door pretending to be chic.

"Eggboy! If you move softly, you will die! Are you trying to scare us to death in the middle of the night?" Yingzi was startled by Eggboy, put down her chopsticks and yelled at Eggboy.

Eggboy ignored Yingzi's roar, and stretched out a hand handsomely, pretending to be deep and said: "I am Professor Du from the stars, and I have lived alone on this lonely planet for 400 years..." He said , Eggboy imitated the appearance of a certain superstar and shook his hair.It may be that the hair gel has been used too much, and the hair has not moved at all.

I always feel that the mental age of Danzi is still in the state of a child, a little childish and a little immature.

"Oh, Eggboy, today's hairstyle is pretty good. Don't tell me, it gave me inspiration. The poodle hairstyle in our hospital can also do the same. Eggboy, you have to come and guide me when the time comes." The old dean and Eggboy was joking.

"Pfft", Yingzi was happy, and then said seriously, "Danzi, I think you can go to our place to be a model, you have both temperament and style."

"Danzi, are you going on a date because you look so handsome today?" I asked, remembering the steamed eggs that Danzi called me to make in advance.

"Yeah." Eggboy replied happily, "My goddess will come to eat after get off work later, I want her to try my favorite steamed egg."

I laughed.People who love each other are like this. If the other person can like what you like, it will be a great joy for you.

"It seems that Eggboy has entered the period of passionate love." Yingzi said enviously, "Hey, Eggboy can find his true love, why am I still single?"

"Look, I will pass on my good luck to you." Egg Boy stretched out his hands, imitating the way of teaching martial arts in martial arts movies to Yingzi.

The old dean and I looked at each other and smiled. It seems that Egg Boy is indeed a child who will not grow up.

When the wall clock in the store pointed to midnight, the door of the cafeteria was opened, and a woman in her 40s walked in.The woman is wearing a skirt that is common in the office. I don't know fashion, and I can't recognize any brand, but judging from the tailoring and workmanship, it is probably a product of a big brand.The woman's makeup is exquisite, and she has the usual indifferent expression of the city's white-collar workers, but even so, people can feel her beauty-although she is a little older... But I have to admit, Eggboy does have eyesight.

Eggboy immediately stopped his "power transmission", and waved at the woman with bright eyes.The woman glanced at Eggboy expressionlessly. Obviously, she saw the scene where Eggboy was imparting skills just now.

"Just got off work? Are you tired?" Eggboy pulled out a chair for the woman and asked her to sit down.

"Well, the company's quarterly work summary these days has to prepare a lot of reports, so it's late." The woman said with a blank expression.

"Are you hungry?" Danzai asked with concern, "Boss, serve the steamed eggs with meat."

I took out the still steaming meat steamed egg from the heat preservation pot, and put two spoons and chopsticks on it: "Meat steamed egg, please use it slowly."

I sat back at the bar, pretending to be casual, and secretly observed the woman's reaction to eating meat and steamed eggs.According to past experience, if one person also shows that he likes something that another person likes very much, this relationship has hope. On the contrary, if the other person has no feeling or even a little bored, then this relationship is very likely Can't hold on.I don't know if it is true, but practice has proved that there is no error.

The woman picked up the chopsticks to pick out the chopped green onion on the steamed egg with meat. "

"Why do you have to pick it out? The meat steamed egg needs chopped green onion to get the flavor." Danzai asked puzzled.

"I don't like the smell of scallions."

Danzi watched helplessly as the woman picked out all the scallions, shook his head, and poured a few drops of sesame oil on it.

The woman scooped up a spoonful of steamed meat and put it in her mouth.Eggboy looked at the woman's reaction expectantly, hoping to get her compliment on steamed meat. In his concept, that compliment should be comparable to agreeing with himself.However, the woman let him down.She ate Danzai's favorite steamed egg with no expression, as if there was no difference between this plate of food and other things that filled her stomach.I sighed deeply in my heart.

"I'm going to America." The woman suddenly said without warning.

"Ahem." Eggboy was choked, he coughed a few times, and asked anxiously, "What did you say?"

"I'm going to America to find him and remarry."

It was as if a thunderbolt sounded above Danzi's head, which made him unable to recover for a long time.The old dean and Yingzi looked at each other, Yingzi stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak.

"Didn't we agree to go on together?" Egg Boy asked disappointedly.

"I've thought about it for a while, but we're still not suitable."

"But you said that age is not a problem..."

"It has nothing to do with age!" The woman interrupted Egg Boy.

"What does that have to do with it? You have to have confidence in me. I'm really working hard now. I'm going to star in a TV series soon. May I support you in the future?"

"It's not a question of whether you can support me." The woman said calmly, "It's because of me, I need someone to rely on. I'm sorry!" The woman took out 100 yuan and put it on the table, "Boss, you don't have to look for it. The meat steamed eggs you made are delicious."

I didn't expect a woman to be so direct, which was beyond my expectation.I accepted the money and said, "Thank you. In fact, steamed eggs with chopped green onion are more delicious. Don't just refuse according to your previous impression. There is no harm in trying."

The woman heard what I meant, she smiled, got up and left.

The best relationship ever in Eggboy's eyes ended like this.Two months ago, Danzai met this woman by chance when he was helping others as a substitute driver outside a nightclub, and then the two fell in love very quickly.A regular customer once told me that there are generally two types of love nowadays: one is love, which usually depends on each other’s family background and economic situation. "; Another situation is to look at people, that is to say, what is valued in love is the other party's character, personality, ability, etc., which is commonly referred to as "pure love".I believe that there used to be real feelings between women and eggs.Egg boy is a fresh graduate who has nothing but himself; the woman is a typical strong woman who earns a fortune through her own efforts.Therefore, it must be the second situation for a woman to fall in love with Egg Boy, just a picture of someone.But after a long time, it is always easy for things to change.

two.
Love is always the most beautiful when it blooms, just like fireworks passing through the air, ephemeral but gorgeous.The egg boy who has lost his love has become a little decadent, and when he comes to the cafeteria again, he is no longer well-dressed.With disheveled hair and casual clothes, he was a completely different person from before.

When the old dean came in, Dan Boy was sitting at the table staring at a little boy.

"An illegitimate child? You really follow the trend of your circle!" The old dean said in surprise when he saw the little boy.

"I picked it up in the video game city!" Tanzai replied without turning his head.

"It's very impolite for you to speak to grandpa like this!" the little boy taught Eggboy sternly.

"Hey, classmate Yu Xiaobei, you are very sensible! Why do you play truant if you are sensible?" Egg Boy nodded his forehead.Beckham stopped talking.

"Steamed eggs with meat is ready!" I served two servings of steamed meat with one large and one small.In order to coax Xiao Bei, I used green vegetable leaves to make a jingle cat shape on the small portion of steamed meat eggs.

"Hey, Jingle Cat!" Xiaobei cried out in surprise, "Thank you uncle!" He said, smiling sweetly at me.

"You're welcome, as long as you like it."

Danzai poured a few drops of sesame oil on the big and small meat steamed eggs, "Why haven't I seen you, thank you?"

"You guys don't need to thank each other." Unexpectedly, this kid talked in one way, with a quack atmosphere.

"Whose child is this?" When Tanzai and Xiaobei were having dinner, the old director approached me and whispered, "Doesn't this child look familiar to you?"

"Hey, don't say it, it's really..." I thought about it, but I couldn't remember who this child looked like.

"How did this kid get here?" The old dean was more cautious because he had been there before.

I whispered back: "Danzi said that today he was catching toys in the video game city, and this little boy pestered him and asked him to help him catch toys. Here, it's the one next to Xiaobei."

The old dean took a look in the direction I pointed: "You can't stay home so late to catch toys, parents should be so anxious."

"Danzai helped Xiaobei grab the toys, and originally wanted him to come home, but the child didn't go home, and he didn't say who the parents were, so he just followed Danzai, and he also ran when Danzai ran. If he stopped, he would stop too, Egg Boy really had no other choice, so he was brought here."

The old dean nodded: "So that's the case. In my opinion, it's better like this. I'll take the child home in a while. Eggboy has been out of shape recently, so I can't even take care of him." , "Xiaobei, grandpa will take you home later, okay? Your Uncle Danzi still has something to do."

"Is it true?" Xiaobei stared at Eggboy with wide eyes.

Eggboy looked at the old dean, and then at me.I nodded at him, so Eggboy turned around and said to Xiaobei: "It's true, uncle has to work the night shift at night."

"Okay, can you play with me tomorrow?"

Eggboy nodded frantically.

"Xiao Bei, aren't your parents worried if you don't come home so late?" The old dean has already had a lot of children and grandchildren, so he will naturally consider the problem from the perspective of his parents.

"My parents are divorced, and I follow my mother. She often works overtime and doesn't come home until late at night. I'm afraid to be alone at home." Xiaobei's voice gradually lowered, and she was no longer so excited.

"Oh, what kind of parents are these!" the old dean got angry, "When I see your mother, I must teach her a lesson!"

"No." Xiaobei was anxious, "It's very hard for mother to support the family by herself."

"Okay, grandpa won't train her." The old headmaster stretched out his hand to stroke Xiao Bei's head, his eyes were full of love.

three.
Danzi has not come out of the previous relationship, and he is always depressed, while Xiaobei likes to follow Danzi closely, and regards Danzi as his idol.One is absent-mindedly missing the previous relationship, and the other needs companionship and wants a complete family. In this way, Tanzai and Xiaobei have become friends who have forgotten each other.The two often play video games together, hang out on the road, and eat steamed eggs with meat.It's right to think about it, Eggboy is mature on the outside and childish on the inside, and Xiaobei is a child himself, and neither of them has entered the adult world in their hearts.

"Have you seen Xiaobei's mother?" I poured tea for the old director and looked at Xiaobei who was eating steamed eggs with meat. "The child is still young, so he can't mess around like this every day."

"Don't mention it." The old dean waved his hand angrily. "That night I sent Xiaobei home at the address he said. Downstairs, Xiaobei said 'Thank you, Grandpa' and ran up the stairs. I looked up Look at the windows, none of the houses are lit, what does that mean? It means that there is still no one at Xiaobei’s house!” The old director sighed and continued, “I was standing downstairs, and Xiaobei turned on the lights and stood in the He waved to me from the window before I left. What a shame for the kid."

"What do his parents do? If they don't come home so late, don't they worry about the child at all?" Yingzi came in at some point, and stood beside her, expressing her anger, "Such a person doesn't deserve it." Be a parent!"

"Hush, keep your voice down." The old dean quickly stopped Yingzi, and looked back at Xiaobei.Xiaobei is still the same as when he first came in, his listless appearance makes people feel distressed.

"What's wrong with you?" Egg Boy asked.

"I miss my mother." Xiao Bei felt aggrieved.

"You haven't been weaned yet, what do you want to see every day?"

"No, Mom has been working overtime for several days and hasn't come home."

Egg Boy put down his chopsticks, not knowing how to comfort Xiao Bei.

"Let you stay at home alone, your mother can rest assured." The old dean was also a little angry.

"Well, Mom said it would help me become more independent."

"I really don't deserve to be...uh...I mean your mother has a big heart." Yingzi swallowed the last part of the sentence under the hint of the old headmaster's eyes. "

"When school was over this afternoon, I called her and wanted her to pick me up from school, but my mother said six words." Xiaobei counted what her mother said word by word, "I'm in a meeting and I don't have time. Then she hung up the phone."

"Oh, you are no different from a left-behind child. Oh, no, the left-behind child is accompanied by grandparents or grandparents, or even a brother or sister. You have nothing." Yingzi said angrily .

"No, I have Uncle Eggboy." Xiaobei retorted Yingzi.

Everyone was stunned, no one thought that Egg Boy had such a high status in Xiao Bei's heart, and his closeness to Egg Boy couldn't be replaced by other people who loved the cafeteria deeply.A child's heart is always the purest. Whoever treats him well will be regarded as his relatives, and whether he is related by blood or not is not so important.

"I want to see my mother, Eggboy, please help me find a way." Xiaobei begged, he really regarded Eggboy as his idol.Eggboy is an almighty god to Xiaobei, omnipotent and responsive to every request.

"But I don't know anything except acting, how can I help you?" Egg Boy scratched his head.

"I have a solution." Xiaobei's eyes widened, his face full of excitement, "Danzi, you can play the role of a bad guy, call my mother, and say that you have kidnapped me and told her to come here."

"Oh, little ancestor, this is against the law!" said the old dean.

"That's right, you can't help it. Besides, Danzi's acting skills will be too much!" Yingzi tried to find a reason to let Xiaobei give up this naive idea.

"Nonsense, my acting skills are unrivaled in the world! Xiaobei, uncle will definitely help me with this!" Maybe it was to prove her ability to Xiaobei, but Yingzi's words turned into provocative tactics instead.

Perhaps to brew up emotions, Danboy took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, then put on a grim expression.Emotions were almost brewing, Dan Zai took out his mobile phone: "Xiao Bei, tell me the number."

"How can a kidnapper use his own mobile phone to make a call! Can you be more professional?" Yingzi said with a smile.

"Alas...it's so embarrassing, so embarrassing...I didn't see anything." The old dean imitated Tanzai's exaggeration and covered his eyes with his hands.

"Use mine." Xiaobei took out his mobile phone.

"Ouch, this phone is better than mine." Tanzai took the phone and praised.

Using the most fashionable mobile phone and living in a luxurious big house is what many people dream of, but for Beckham, these are not as good as a complete home.

"Hello!" The call was connected, Dan Boy imitated the scene in the movie, speaking in broken Cantonese.

"Have you ever met a kidnapper who asked for a ransom and said hello to him?" Yingzi whispered to me with a smirk.

"You still speak Cantonese, do you really think you are Chen Haonan?" said the old director.

"Be serious, kidnapping!" Eggboy covered the microphone and glared at the two of them.

"Your son is in my hands now. I limit you to the 'Deep Love Canteen' before twelve o'clock, otherwise, I will tear up the ticket. Also, don't call the police!"

"There are also kidnappers who directly revealed their location. Are you an undercover agent sent by the police?" Yingzi whispered.

Danzai ignored Yingzi, and put the phone next to Xiaobei's mouth. "Mom! Mom!" Xiaobei cried and cried in a very cooperative manner.

Egg Boy hung up the phone and said, "Boy, it's ok, you, your acting skills are better than mine, and tears will come as soon as you say it! It's ok, let's accept it, the show is over." Xiao Bei didn't stop crying because of this, but cried so much Even more fierce.Everyone looked at each other, only to realize that Xiao Bei was really crying.Danzi squatted down, took Xiaobei into his arms, patted his head and said, "Good boy, don't cry, mom will be here soon."

"Woooooooooooo...today is my birthday] Mom doesn't even remember, woohoo..." Xiaobei cried even more sadly.

Children don't have any scheming, they will show their happiness or not on their faces, and they will cry without any scruples when they are left out or ignored, but adults must bury all these in their hearts, even if they are sad to death the night before, the first night The next day, I still have to get up and go to work with an unchanging smile.Growing up is like a process of learning to wear a mask, but once learned, the mask can never be taken off again.

Yingzi also secretly wiped her tears, this little girl has a soft heart.

"It's a crime!" The old principal slapped the table hard, "Since you don't want to be responsible for the child, why did you want the child in the first place!"

"Uncle will take you to buy a cake, okay?" Egg Boy started to seduce Xiao Bei with delicious food.

"No, you two are gone, what should Xiaobei's mother do?" Yingzi quickly reminded Eggboy.

"Why don't you do this?" I remembered the meat stuffing that I was preparing to make steamed eggs with in the refrigerator. "I'll make a cake with steamed eggs. It just so happens that Xiao Bei likes it too. How about it, Xiao Bei?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Bei choked up, and nodded with tears all over his face.

Twenty minutes later, there was the sound of high-heeled shoes outside the door, followed by the "squeak" sound of the doorknob turning.

"Xiaobei!" A somewhat familiar voice came in.I had some doubts in my heart, but I couldn't see the appearance of the person who came.In order to create an effect, we turned off all the lights in advance, and only the outlines of people could be vaguely seen through the neon lights outside the door.

Danzai and Xiaobei came out of the kitchen singing a birthday song. The steamed egg with meat in Danzai's hand was stuck with bright candles, which looked very warm in the dark cafeteria.Dan Zai approached Xiao Bei's mother, and both of them froze suddenly.

"Happy birthday, Xiaobei!" Everyone cheered and turned on the lights, and then everyone froze in place.It turned out that the person standing in front of her was none other than the woman who had just dumped Egg Boy and said she was going to remarry in the United States.At this moment, Xiaobei's eyes and mouth seem familiar, and the familiar voice just now has the answer.This world is really small, and after going around in circles, everyone returned to the original point.

"Yu Xiaobei, you've got some skills! Come here!" the woman shouted at Xiaobei. No one could figure out whether she was trying to avoid staring at Eggboy, or if she really wanted to teach her son a lesson.

Seeing that her mother was really angry, Xiao Bei hid behind Egg Boy and dared not come out.The woman didn't care where it was, she walked up to Eggboy, grabbed Xiaobei by the ear, and dragged him aside.

"Playing truant, skipping piano lessons, fighting with classmates, and learning to lie now, right?"

"It's not all his fault, he doesn't like piano lessons. The phone call just now was just to see you, and I wanted you to celebrate his birthday." Danzai went over to Xiaobei with a steamed egg in his hand.

"What have I been telling you all this time? What does mother hate the most? Children who lie and lie!" The woman ignored Eggboy, and reprimanded Xiaobei hoarsely while pushing Xiaobei's shoulder with her hand.

"Hey, doesn't he want you to spend more time with him?" Tanzai stood in front of Xiaobei.

"Shut up, I'll teach my son a lesson, it's none of your business!" The woman pushed the egg boy away, and the egg boy staggered and couldn't stand still, almost knocking the steamed egg on the ground. "And you! You're idle all day long, it's fine if you don't have a serious job, and now you're taking care of other people's children, what do you think you can do!"

"Wow..." Xiaobei, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help crying when she heard her mother scold Eggboy.He bumped his head on the woman, "He didn't spoil me, he is a good guy, he plays with me every day, you are the bad guy, you even forgot my birthday..." Xiao Bei pushed the woman towards her with his head. After walking away, while beating with his hands indiscriminately, the howling cries tightened the hearts of everyone present.

The woman's eye circles were red, and she fell silent.

"Xiao Bei, let's eat cake." I picked Xiao Bei from the woman and said, "Since everyone is here, let's celebrate the child's birthday first."

"Hurry up, put together the table." Although the old dean was dissatisfied with the woman, he suppressed his anger and cleaned up with everyone.

"Xiao Bei, make a wish." The lights in the cafeteria went out again.The faint candlelight against Beckham's childish face makes people forget all kindness and resentment other than this.Regardless of the success or failure of the relationship between adults, the child is always innocent, and he has the right to a happy childhood and a complete family.

"I want to become a family with Egg Boy and live together." After all, he is a child, and the simple thought makes people feel distressed.The woman glanced at Eggboy in embarrassment.

"Fool, it won't work if you express your wish." Danzi knew that this was a wish that would never come true.

"Danzi, you look like my father, do you know that?"

Eggboy was stunned. He looked at the woman, who lowered her head.

"Xiao Bei, Mom and Dad are remarrying. We will go to America together next week, and you will be able to meet Dad." The woman said.

"Can Eggboy go?"

"No."

"I want Eggboy to accompany me..." Xiaobei's voice gradually dropped.Eggboy patted Xiaobei's head to express his comfort. "Danzi, will you go to America to see me?" Beckham asked expectantly, looking at Eggboy. "

"Of course! I'll see you when I go to receive the Oscar!"

"Great! Long live Eggboy!" Beckham cheered, "Blow out the candles!"

In the last bit of candlelight, the woman made a mouth shape to the egg boy. With that little bit of candlelight, everyone could see clearly that it was a "thank you".

The cake made of meat steamed eggs has no cream, no chocolate, and no colorful colors, but it makes everyone eat happily.Also, the woman didn't pick out the green onions when eating steamed eggs with meat this time, but carefully and conscientiously ate them with a spoon and steamed eggs with meat.Maybe it was something she had never tasted before.

The woman finally left, and took Xiao Bei across the ocean to the other side of the ocean.Before leaving, she encouraged Eggboy not to compromise, but to persevere for her dream.I don't know if it's the truth or politeness, but anyway, it can be regarded as giving Eggboy some comfort.With this sentence, this kid's devotion to this relationship is not considered to be the death of the whole army, and the ashes are wiped out.Not long afterward, Dan Zai was recommended by Ying Zi to work as a model on a TV shopping channel. The work was very hard, but it was also a solid step towards his dream of becoming an actor.As he often said: I am Egg Boy, and I speak for myself.

Occasionally, Danzi would still talk about Xiaobei, about Xiaobei's life in the United States, and inadvertently, he would also talk about the woman who made his heart flutter, and talk about the miss.Every time when sadness hits, Danzai will sigh a long time, then regroup, cheer up, and ask for a steamed egg with meat.
