After working for more than a month, Lin Shuyi finally got his first salary, which was very little, just over 1,000 yuan, but it was considered a lot of money to him, after all, Old Yang said that he still paid for it. It’s too young, it’s not appropriate to cook at such a young age, so although I know he can cook a lot, Lao Yang still rarely asks him to do it, most of the time, Lao Yang cooks it by himself, Lin Shuyi does it The only thing he wanted to do was to help Lao Yang.
Lin Shuyi wakes up very punctually every day, no, to be precise, it is a little early, and until now his work and rest habits have not been completely changed. He was sleepy very early in the evening, and he woke up very early in the morning. When I had nothing to do, I went out for a walk, walked around and then went to Xiqin Restaurant, and Lao Yangtou just opened the door.
Old Yangtou actually sometimes wonders why Lin Shuyi always wakes up so early, because the children in other families like to sleep late and don't want to get up until ten o'clock, but no matter how Lin Shuyi looks at it, he is also the same as other children. Children are different, and sometimes they don’t look like a child at all. Lao Yang can only blame his family situation for the precocity of this child, so sometimes he loves him more and more, and slowly treats him as a child. It hurts to be my own grandson.
Old Yangtou's vegetable garden is a little far away from Xiqin Restaurant, but it's not very far away. Lin Shuyi often needs to water and loosen the soil. Now Lin Shuyi does it by himself. Do a little bit, otherwise I will be ashamed to take the salary that Old Yang gave him.
He didn't spend or save the money. Originally, he wanted to earn money because he had no food to eat. Now that he is helping out at Xiqin Restaurant, he doesn't need to cook by himself, so the money is useless. As for not saving it, it's because he still doesn't know how to save it.
His requirements are not high, and he does not need too much money.
In addition to helping with cooking every day, Lin Shuyi is still learning about this world. The more he knows, the better it will be for him to gain a foothold in this world.
His teacher once said that he is the most proud of his disciple, he will stop when he is smart, but Lin Shuyi never thinks that he is smart, if he is smart, he should not insist on being an official, and in the end he will die miserably end.
However, his memory is indeed amazing. He can write down everything he has seen, even if he does not understand its meaning at all. This is of great use for him to learn things in this world. Many things As long as he has seen it once, he knows how it should be used, such as the bicycle in front of him.
The bicycle was also given to him by Lao Yangtou. Lao Yangtou said that he was still a child, and he was bored if he was not at home or in a restaurant every day, so he took out the bicycle at home and told him to ride it around when he was free.
He saw someone riding this thing on TV, and he knew how to get it away.
However, there is always a gap between imagination and reality. When he sat on it and stepped on it for half a circle and was about to fall over, he simply didn't know what was going on
In the end, he learned it with great difficulty, but he never wanted to ride this one out again.
When he went back, Old Yang asked him happily, "Xiaoyi, how is the bicycle? Although I have bought it for more than a year, I have always cherished it very much, and it is still as good as new."
Lin Shuyi rolled his eyes, "Very good, thank you Grandpa."
He likes this old grandpa who is always smiling, he is his dearest person in this world.
In the afternoon, Lao Yangtou got two fish from nowhere, he was very happy, and kept saying that he wanted to cook fish for Lin Shuyi. S City is a small city near the water, and this is the season when the fish are fat and meaty. But here is still a bit far from the river, if you want to eat, you have to wait for others to bring it back when the fishing boat comes back, that's why Old Yang is so happy.
"Xiaoyi, this fish has just been caught and is fresh. How do you want to eat it? Grandpa will cook it for you."
Old Yang likes to ask Lin Shuyi for his opinion on everything, as long as Lin Shuyi likes to eat, he will cook and eat.
Lin Shuyi stepped forward and looked at the fish in the water basin, they were two big mirror fishes, flat, they could only be caught in the river.
"The mirror fish is a sea fish with a salty and fresh taste, and it is most suitable for dry roasting."
Old Yang looked at him, this young man impressed him every time, I don't know if he read it from a book or elsewhere, he seemed to know everything about food.
"You still know it's called a mirror fish, but it's usually called pomfret."
While talking, he quickly packed it up. The pomfret fish had few spines and tender meat. He specially asked others to bring it back from the outside. Lin Shuyi was growing up, so it would be best to eat more sea fish.
Old Yangtou really regards Lin Shuyi as his grandson, these are the things he wants to do for his grandson, now fortunately he has Lin Shuyi, which makes him feel like a grandfather.
"Cut a few knives on both sides of the pomfret, sprinkle some salt and marinate for ten minutes, and finally pat some starch on it, fry in hot oil until golden on both sides, stir shallot, ginger, garlic and pepper, add water, sugar, soy sauce and cooking wine Pepper, after boiling, put the pomfret in it for five minutes, add some salt, then turn it over and cook until the soup is thick, it will be fine, sprinkle some chopped green onion when it comes out of the pot, it will enhance the taste and look good.”
While Lao Yang was doing it, he was explaining to Lin Shuyi, Lin Shuyi actually knew it all, but when Lao Yang was talking, Lin Shuyi still kept nodding his head, pretending to listen carefully.
A plate of dry-roasted pomfret and a plate of vegetarian stir-fried vegetables. The vegetables are grown in their own garden. They are verdant and delicious, and the vegetables grown at home generally do not grow very well because they are not evenly spread. It's big, but it's the most delicious if it's neither thick nor thin.
Old Yang seemed very happy. He opened a bottle of beer and sat there drinking it. Lin Shuyi knew that what he was drinking was wine, but the wine was light yellow different from the ones he drank before. He also knew it was beer. It's just that I have never drank it before, and I feel a little greedy when I see Lao Yang drinking it.
Seeing him staring at the wine for a few times, Old Yang smiled.
"What? You still want to drink? You are too young to drink."
"I'm already eighteen." Lin Shuyi replied seriously, he knew that people under the age of eighteen were not allowed to drink in this place, unlike Dayan, few people could drink when he was sixteen him.
"You are already eighteen?" Old Yang looked at him seriously, he didn't look like it, but this beer should be fine, so he took a cup and poured Lin Shuyi a glass.
"You drink less, this beer has a certain degree."
Lin Shuyi nodded, picked up the cup and took a small sip, then frowned.
Old Yang thought he couldn't drink it, and was about to take the wine back, but Lin Shuyi asked, "Is this wine? Why is it like water?"
…
Old Yang froze for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Young man is quite drinkable, don't underestimate this beer, even if it is low in alcohol, if you drink it too fast, you will be intoxicated."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Shuyi had already drank a whole cup without him noticing, and said seriously, "It's really like water."
…
Old Yang felt that this young man was a prodigy in drinking, if not for his young age, he would have wanted to compete with him.
Lin Shuyi felt that the wine looked beautiful, but in reality...it was not very good.
From this point of view, the red wine he watched on TV last time, the color of which is as beautiful as glass beads, should not be very good. He still wants to drink some. Erguotou secretly tasted at the head's house.
…
The business in Lao Yangtou's restaurant is not always good. Although there will be people on Saturdays and Sundays, most of them will cook something at home. Although the location of his restaurant is good, but because the place is small, they usually come here. People are just people from Chaoyang Street, so there is sometimes no business in the store on Saturdays and Sundays.
So this Sunday, Lao Yangtou didn't open the door, and before Lin Shuyi went to Xiqin Restaurant, Lao Yangtou had already arrived at the door of Lin Shuyi's house.
Even though it was so close, Lao Yang never went to Lin Shuyi's house for the first time, Lin Shuyi usually went to Xiqin Restaurant, and sometimes he would go to Lao Yangtou's house to help out.
As soon as Lao Yang knocked on the door, Lin Shuyi came out, wearing a white T-shirt, which was a bit worn out, but he had a good face, a pair of dark and bright eyes, so he looked handsome and energetic, Old Yangtou doesn't have much appreciation level and knows that if this child grows up, he must be a big guy who attracts little girls.
"grandfather?"
"Let's go, today is Sunday, there is no business in the store. Grandpa will take you to Tianhua Mountain for a walk. There is a bayberry garden there. Now is the time when it is ripe. Grandpa will take you to pick bayberry. It's thanks to you to stay at home every day." .”
Lin Shuyi was taken aback for a moment, then narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Okay!"
There is something to eat. It was said on TV that the red bayberry is delicious. It is a fruit he has never seen in Dayan.
The two of them took the bus all the way to Tianhua Mountain. On the way, Lin Shuyi looked around from time to time. Not only did he go out to look, but he also looked calmly inside the car, because although he had seen the bus on TV, he wanted to say Sit, this is the first time, not to mention, this is the first time he has traveled far, even though it is only Chaoyang Street.
Tianhua Mountain is located in City S, but it is on the outskirts of City S. Although Lao Yangtou's house is not in the city center, it is not so remote. It takes more than an hour to drive to Tianhua Mountain.
In the season when bayberry is ripe, there are many people going to Tianhua Mountain now, but there are not many buses to Tianhua Mountain, so every bus is full.
The combination of Lin Shuyi and Lao Yangtou seems very strange in a group of people. Nowadays, there are very few children of this age who are willing to go out with the old man, let alone going to the mountains. They might as well play games at home. .
Lin Shuyi even caught the eyes of all the girls in the car as soon as he got on the car. He was tall and thin and so good-looking, especially when he smiled, he was so handsome that people couldn't take their eyes off him.
Originally, there were no seats in the car, Lin Shuyi supported Lao Yangtou and a girl gave up his seat as soon as he got into the car. Weng doesn't mean wine.
Lin Shuyi didn't realize that he was attracting attention at all, he narrowed his eyes with a smile and thanked the girl, "Thank you."
The girl's face turned red immediately, and she was teased for a long time by the girl who went with her.
Old Yang also thought happily, this young man is just attractive.
