Chapter 57: The Fresh Fragrance of the Ocean, Overbearing Love
Li Chengxiang had been smelling the fragrance all morning and originally came here for the lard fried rice.
At this moment, looking at the menu on the wall, he felt... he wanted them all!
However, his stomach is so small that even though he can eat a lot, he can't eat too much.
After some hesitation, the old men came in.
Uncle Hong first noticed the millet porridge on the wall, which had undergone slight changes.
Ordinary millet porridge is also available.
but! ! !
It was followed by a bowl of expensive millet porridge.
298 yuan a bowl?
A bowl??!
Grandpa Hong thought, young boss, just add the word "ginseng" and the price will be increased like this!
However, he didn't plan to order, so he didn't plan to say much.
Moreover, it is the small business owner’s freedom to decide how to set the price.
It is also their freedom to choose what to eat.
He looked at the items on it and finally ordered a cumin mushroom.
This is delicious, and it’s made of mushrooms, so it’s good for your health!
Uncle Hong moved first, followed by Uncle Wu and others.
Of course, they were also shocked by the sky-high price of millet porridge.
However, since they didn't have any intention to do anything, they naturally didn't say much.
The uncles ordered some mushrooms and some scrambled eggs with peppers.
I also felt that I was in good health, so I ordered octopus claws.
"That thing is not good. It has high cholesterol."
"I'm not afraid. My physical examination is fine."
"Have you checked? Then there's nothing wrong with you, haha."
…
The old men's banter with each other brought Li Chengxiang back to reality from his imagination.
After some hesitation, he ordered a plate of spicy fried octopus feet and another plate of cumin mushrooms.
8 yuan a bowl of loofah soup...
He silently covered his wallet and added it, and finally added two bowls of rice.
He thought that he had eaten all the food for the day in this one meal.
It’s not expensive, really not expensive!
Woo woo!
His sales today!
All contributed to the neighbors!
God damn, isn't he the boss?
Why does it feel like a part-time job?
However, soon, Li Chengxiang no longer had the mind to think about anything else.
Because Sheng Jiu opened fire.
Naturally, she fried the cumin mushrooms first.
The fresh and natural fragrance floated out leisurely with the rising mist, leaving people nowhere to escape and only able to passively accept it.
Li Chengxiang stood there, smelling the scent, and thought: It's worth it, everything is worth it.
If people don't live for this mouth, then why should they live?
If it weren't for this mouth, how would he make money every day?
As portions of cumin mushrooms came out, the fragrance of nature was like a dancing elf, stepping on the green mountains and the gentle clear water again and again, slowly sending the taste of nature to their noses, allowing them to feel the unique fragrance of nature.
Smelling this aroma, Li Cheng even wanted to let himself go and not open the store today. He would just sit down and eat openly!
But no, my wallet doesn’t agree.
After ordering a meal, my wallet was crying!
If we say that the aroma of mushrooms is a light fragrance of nature.
Then, the freshness of octopus is the dominance of the ocean!
After the base sauce is fried until fragrant, the spicy aroma lingers around the whole body. Before you have time to savor it, the octopus feet, which have been blanched in water but still retain their fresh and fragrant flavor, are put into the pot.
The overbearing aroma from the ocean, after colliding with the high temperature of the fire, stimulated the rich and fresh fragrance, which reached its peak at this moment.
The fragrance was already overbearing, and now it spread even more boldly throughout every corner, allowing people to feel its unique love with every breath.
When the previous spicy aroma and the fresh fragrance of the ocean intertwined and blended under the high temperature, the aroma that burst out at that moment really made Li Cheng want to let go of everything, sit down quietly, and enjoy the domineering pampering from the ocean.
Compared to the mild and gentle fragrance of nature, the fragrance of the ocean is bold, overbearing, and omnipresent, yet it has a gentleness that is unique to it.
The refreshing loofah and egg drop soup carefully extends its tentacles and blooms peacefully among these aromas, which are either bold or restrained.
It just exists like that, without fighting or competing, but trying hard to show its existence.
If you sniff carefully, you will find that among the complex aromas, there is always a hint of the natural freshness of loofah.
It's like the soft mountain breeze blowing in the empty mountains after the rain, every wisp is gentle and romantic, making people's heart beat.
Li Chengxiang finally held back his saliva and took all his food back in two batches.
Because they were right next door, Li Cheng wanted to say that he would deliver the tableware later, and Sheng Jiu did not refuse.
The uncles enjoyed it quickly!
As they get older, their appetite actually decreases a lot.
But at this moment, each of them felt that they could finish two bowls of rice in one breath!
Uncle Hong couldn't help but think: How about they pool their money to buy a bowl of millet porridge for 298 yuan to try it?
However, their appetite is limited, and even if they want to, they can't eat anymore in the end.
Especially at the end, there is loofah soup to fill the gaps in the stomach.
After the slide, there is literally no room left in the stomach!
"This loofah is so fresh, it tastes a bit like home."
"Is this a nostalgia for the past?"
"Who would have thought that thirty years ago, I desperately wanted to go to the city, and thirty years later, I desperately want to go back to the village. It's reincarnation!"
…
The old men were joking while drinking loofah soup.
Uncle Xu, who was with me, lost his partner a few years ago. He never found another partner after that and became much quieter.
He sat there for a long time before slowly asking, "Did you sleep well last night?"
After asking, he seemed to be talking to himself: "After my wife passed away, I haven't been able to sleep well in the past two years. I always want to get up and cover her with a blanket, but when I reach out, it's cold and there's no warmth. I wake up quickly and can't fall asleep in the second half of the night no matter how hard I try."
"But, last night, I slept very well and didn't wake up in the middle of the night. I even dreamed about that couple."
…
When talking about his wife, Uncle Xu unconsciously became more talkative.
The old men didn't find him annoying. The fact that they could sit together proved that they had a good relationship and understood each other's situations.
After hearing what Uncle Xu said, Uncle Hong thought for a moment and said, "You know what, I slept better last night than before. I usually get up at night, but not last night. I was even woken up by the urge to pee this morning."
Uncle Wu had no trouble sleeping. Even at his age, he was the type who could fall asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, so he looked around.
Grandpa Sun thought about it for a moment and said, "That's true. I slept very well last night. When I woke up today, my head wasn't heavy and my eyes weren't blurry."
After the old men finished speaking, they looked at each other, and then their eyes uncontrollably looked towards the bar.
There, there is Sheng Jiu’s health pot for brewing star jujube tea.
At this time, the health pot had just been started and the jujube tea had not yet been brewed.
However, the old men's eyes suddenly became as fierce as those of wolves and tigers.
