Chapter 269 Chapter 269 Hot
"It's so hot"
"What kind of weather is this? It's only June and it's already this hot. It's crazy."
"It's still okay here, only 36 degrees Celsius. But in Hai City, the highest temperature was 39 degrees Celsius. It was so hot it was all over the news."
"Damn it! I'd trade ten pounds of fat for rain tomorrow! I really can't take it anymore."
"I wouldn't have put on makeup if I had known."
Two "fully armed" girls walked past quickly and threw the milk tea in their hands into the trash can on the side of the road.
He Junxia wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the sky. Even though it was already six in the afternoon, the sun was still high in the sky, even hotter than the bathroom heater that was burning against his scalp.
He walked quickly into the snack shop on the roadside, and the cool air-conditioned air hit his face, instantly relieving the heat that was about to dry him out.
He Junxia walked straight to the freezer and took out a bottle of iced cola to pay the bill. He hadn't had sparkling water for a long time.
The cool liquid and bubbles constantly stimulated the mouth and esophagus, and the brain, which had been drowsy from the sun, became a little clearer.
The wisher is named Geng Qi, who just turned 16 last month. He was kicked out of the house by his father because he fought with his "younger brother" and now lives in the house of a good friend.
His request was to repay the friend who had taken him in, to make his father regret his actions, and to be able to see his mother again.
——The parents of the wisher were introduced by a matchmaker and got married just a few months after knowing each other.
I thought I was familiar with the place and nothing would go wrong, but who knew that the wisher's father had an affair with his ex-girlfriend after getting married, and had an illegitimate child who was two months older than the wisher.
The mother of the person who made the wish suffered an emotional breakdown and was taken away by her natal family before she even left the confinement period. She never returned since then.
The two families fought fiercely for several months, beating drums and gongs, gathering people to fight, and using all kinds of means. Finally, they divided the property and divorced.
The wisher's father, as the party at fault, was anxious to clear the names of his mistress and illegitimate child, and spent most of his property. From then on, he regarded the wisher as a thorn in his side and casually abandoned the newborn wisher to his hometown.
He Junxia touched his chest to calm his suddenly rapidly beating heart, but the feelings of grievance, unwillingness and anger lingered for a long time.
This is the body's instinctive reaction.
After a long while, the emotions that were about to explode in my chest were finally suppressed.
The most urgent thing was to make some money first - he only had the money his grandparents gave him for the bus fare and the four hundred yuan he had saved from selling cicada monkeys for many years.
Although the wisher grew up with his grandparents, the two old people hated their former eldest daughter-in-law who had brought shame to them in the village, and they disliked the wisher as well.
Moreover, the old couple depends on their youngest son's family for survival.
However, the father of the wisher always makes an excuse that life is difficult, and only transfers a few hundred yuan to the parents of the wisher as living expenses as alms every few months.
That little money was not enough to support a child, and a large part of the shortfall was made up by the uncle and his family of the wisher.
The family had many complaints about this, so after the wisher graduated from junior high school, his grandparents urged him to go to the city to find his father to discuss his future life.
They can't be said to be wrong for doing this.
Compared to the mother who had no news and the father who didn't care, they had no obligation to raise the child but at least raised him until he was 16 years old.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs
Who could have thought that a man could be so cruel as to kick his own son out and leave him alone.
He Junxia handed the empty Coke bottle to the old man who was collecting rubbish next to the trash can, and went to the nearest vegetable market to buy two pounds of pork bones, a pound of pork, five green peppers, and a carton of eggs.
The body is the capital of revolution.
This body has been in a state of malnutrition for a long time and is as thin as a bamboo pole. Even if he goes out to look for a job now, it is not certain that anyone will hire him.
Even if his soul can slowly repair the hidden injuries in his body, a good cook cannot cook without rice, and without sufficient nutritional supplements, it is all in vain.
It was probably closing time, so the prices were relatively cheap, and the total cost was only 40 yuan.
He Junxia carried the meat back to her residence, a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment on the first floor. The decoration in the room was very old, in the style of several decades ago.
There was no one in the room, so He Junxia sent a message to the wisher's friend, asking him to remember to come back for dinner in the evening.
Small but complete
There are a lot of kitchen utensils in the kitchen, and the pots, pans, and utensils all show signs of long-term use and are covered with thick dust.
He Junxia put the meat and vegetables on the stove and turned on the faucet to wash them. After washing the spatula and chopsticks, she was busy for about ten minutes and the fabric on her chest became noticeably darker.
It was too hot, especially in the kitchen, where the temperature was one or two degrees higher than outside. It was uncomfortable just to stand still.
He Junxia took out the towel from the wisher, wet it with cold water, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and then put it around his neck.
Wash rice, cook rice, wash vegetables, chop vegetables, wash meat, chop meat, blanch meat, put it in the pot, beat eggs...
He Junxia first stir-fried a large pot of green peppers, pork, and eggs. The green peppers then brought out the aroma of the scorched eggs and meat, and the scorching heat in the air was stimulating and alluring.
“Gurgle gurgle…”
The wisher's stomach was rumbling with hunger, and he felt so hungry that his heart and stomach were burning, and he wanted to eat a whole cow.
He had a vegetarian bun for breakfast today, and after going out he was busy looking for a summer job and hadn't eaten anything.
The rice was not cooked yet, so He Junxia ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables to fill her stomach, and then put the blanched pork bones into a clean pot to stew.
This kind of bone soup needs to be stewed for at least half an hour. After the rice is cooked, He Junxia took out a large bowl and threw one-third of the vegetables on the plate into it, and then added a few large spoonfuls of rice.
The hungry stomach greedily swallowed every grain of rice, and gradually felt satisfied and full.
He Junxia put down the empty bowl, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, sat down and began to think about ways to make money quickly.
It took too long to complete missions in the previous world, and He Junxia felt very uncomfortable during those old age, so this time he deliberately chose a C-level mission so that he wouldn't have to worry too much about disasters.
He Junxia took out his cell phone to check the map, his eyes fixed on the nearest university, and decided to walk around the university a few times at night to see what the situation was like.
"Fuck, that smells so good."
"Gengzi, what did you do?"
A young man with dull yellow hair walked in in a nonchalant manner.
He was chewing betel nut in his mouth and his hands were in the pockets of his skinny jeans, looking like a typical gangster.
He Junxia looked up: "The shredded eggs and pork and bone soup are all heating up in the kitchen."
Huangmao hurried into the kitchen. The aroma of the pork bone soup was even stronger, and the meat bones in the pot were even more tempting.
He picked up a bone with chopsticks and started to chew it happily. Perhaps because it had been stewed for a long time, the meat on the bone was very soft and could be torn off with a light bite.
After eating a pork bone and drinking two large bowls of bone soup, Huangmao opened the rice cooker to enjoy another dish.
"Damn, Gengzi, if I had told you that your cooking was so delicious, I wouldn't have bought it outside."
"That fried rice place out there is charging me 12, damn, and they're saying that other places are raising their prices, so they're going to raise theirs too."
Huangmao ate and cursed at the same time, and before he knew it, he had finished the whole dish and even scraped the rice cooker clean.
He looked down at the empty rice cooker pot, and after a long moment of embarrassment, he said, "Gengzi, have you eaten yet? Why don't I go out and buy some cold dishes?"
He Juanxia: "I've eaten, you wash the dishes."
Huang Mao: "Okay, then I'll go wash the dishes and treat you to a midnight snack tonight."
He Junxia watched Huangmao walk into the kitchen, and memories of him emerged in her mind.
The yellow-haired boy is named Zhang Le, 18 years old, and is a friend that the wisher met when he skipped classes to go to the game hall.
Although he looks like a typical gangster, he is actually a nice person, otherwise he would not take in those who have nowhere to go.
He and the wisher are both the type of people who are not loved by their parents. His father is unknown, and his mother regards him as a disgrace and ignores him after remarrying. Fortunately, he has grandparents who truly love him.
Unfortunately, the two elderly people were very old and passed away last year, leaving him only this old house that he had owned for more than 20 years as a memory.
Zhang Le dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school and stayed at home. He was too young to find a formal job, so he wandered around. That was how he met the wisher.
However, after the two old people passed away, he suddenly matured a lot and currently makes a living by delivering takeout.
Zhang Le finished washing the dishes and sat on the sofa. "Gengzi, have you found a summer job? Why don't you come deliver food with me? We can use the same number."
Minors cannot register as riders, so even the most basic delivery driver cannot do it.
He Junxia still declined.
Food delivery software cracks down on multiple people sharing one account. Facial recognition will pop up from time to time. If the face recognition fails, the account will be blocked for a period of time.
And he has figured out how to make money.
The barbecue business is hottest in summer.
