"Okay, come down quickly, don't waste time. I'm riding a tricycle for grandma, and you follow by yourself on a bicycle. Don't use too much force." Lin Mo saw that Han Xun tried it in the yard for ten minutes, and almost bumped into him several times. Flower bed, with his skills, don't lead the old lady into the ditch.
Reluctantly, Han Xun got out of the car, glanced at the broken bicycle beside Lin Mo, and said, "Thank you for your concern." Actually, Lin Xiaomo is quite considerate.
Lin Mo said coolly: "Stop being so sentimental, I'm mainly worried that my car will be torn apart by your bad technology."
"..." Lin Xiaomo was getting worse and worse.
The old lady fished the tea eggs into a big plastic bucket, and Lin Mo helped her lift the bucket onto the car, and she carried a small bamboo stool into the car bucket, and locked it after Lin Mo and Han Xun rode the car out of the yard At the gate of the yard, he climbed into the cart and sat down, holding the side of the cart with one hand and pressing the bucket with the other. There were two flashlights tied to the basket of the tricycle. The dim light could not illuminate a long distance, but it was enough for Lin Mo to avoid the big rocks and water on the road.
Han Xun followed behind on a broken bicycle, looked at the backs of the old and the young, and listened to them talking without saying a word, with infinite sadness in his heart.
In that grotesque dream, he had never dreamed of Lin Mo's youth, and never thought that he would lead such a life. The family is old and young, and his father lost his leg due to an accident. He is responsible for everything inside and out. If it were him, he didn't think he could do better. Everything he has achieved now is inseparable from the cultivation and support of his family. If these resources are handed over to Lin Mo, will he be better than himself
Han Xun was thinking about something, and arrived at the small shop without knowing it. Two young men squatted at the door, with a large plastic bag beside them, and when they got closer, they saw that there were meat and vegetables in it. Lin Mo parked the tricycle to a place out of the way, said a few words to them, arranged some simple work, and just opened the door of the shop when Aunt Wang and Aunt Gu arrived together.
Time was running out, and everyone got busy after hearing that Lin Mo had arranged the work.
Liu Li and Yu Dong first ignited several extinguished large stoves as quickly as possible; Aunt Wang washed all the ingredients for cooking porridge, added water and put them on the stove to boil;
The old lady took out the marinade from the ice-filled foam box. The marinade in the pot was as fresh as that taken out of the fresh-keeping cabinet. She picked up the tea eggs one by one, and then put the pot on a small stove to simmer Lin Mo and Aunt Gu kneaded the dough. Everyone was so busy that they sweated. In front of Han Xun was a bunch of vegetables such as shallots, cabbage, and mushrooms. He looked at this and that, but he had nowhere to start.
After a while, the old lady and the others finished their work. Liu Li went to cut the meat, and the others picked and washed vegetables. Han Xun finally had a reference. Son to take over.
Fortunately, he was smart enough, and he quickly grasped the tricks and did it well. The old lady praised him for a while, which gave him great confidence. After the vegetables were picked, Aunt Wang and Yu Dong carried the vegetable pots to the small yard behind and washed them one by one.
Lin Mo has high requirements for ingredients, not only the quality of the food, but also the hygiene of the ingredients. Many breakfast shop workers are lazy, and the boss tries to save trouble, and often the vegetables are picked and washed down the water to finish the job, but it doesn't work with Lin Mo.
When Liu Li and Yu Dong first came to work in the store, they didn't do much work like washing vegetables at home. In addition, the boys were careless and cut the vegetables before they were washed. After being discovered by Lin Mo, they asked them to put The cut vegetables are washed one by one, and the skins that are not scraped are scraped clean again. They thought they were deliberately making things difficult for Lin Mo at that time, and they were almost too angry to leave. But the family conditions of the two are not good, and they cherish this job very much, so they can only grit their teeth and persevere. After working for a while, they found that Lin Mo has the same requirements for everyone, so they have no more complaints. After a long time, everyone has cultivated got used to it.
Liu Li is half a head shorter than Han Xun, about 1.7 meters tall. He is considered to be of medium height in the local area. He is thin, but his hands are strong. Since he came, he has been doing all the chopping work in the shop. Do it alone. Liu Li's skin is dark, his facial features are not outstanding, and his appearance is mediocre. He is usually taciturn and works extremely swiftly and diligently. I haven't found any talent in cooking for the time being, but every time Lin Mo cooks the bottom of the pot, he always looks at it unblinkingly, showing his desire to learn the craft.
After working for so many months, Lin Mo felt that he was very down-to-earth and kind without too much ambition. Currently, he is the key subject of investigation. If he can pass the inspection, he will be gradually cultivated.
In comparison, Yu Dong is much more impetuous than Liu Li. He works step by step every day, but he doesn't show much enthusiasm for cooking. But he is very clever, with a round face, good facial features, it is easy to make people feel good about him, his mouth is also very eloquent, and his memory is very good. Whenever he meets someone and talks to him, he can remember them clearly Yes, after a while, I can call out that person's name in one breath. If these abilities of his are practiced, they will be no worse than those lobby managers hired with high salaries in his previous life.
In essence, he and his father are not extroverted and enthusiastic people, and they are not suitable for these welcome and send jobs. If the hot pot restaurant can be opened according to his plan, and there is such a person to assist Dad, he can also worry less.
Therefore, even though Yu Dong was not very keen on cooking, Lin Mo still took him as an object of investigation and training.
When he first arrived at the store, Han Xun carefully looked at the two people inside and out, and found that they were not enough to pose a threat to him in all aspects, so he began to win over them quietly.
Han Xun broke open a cabbage leaf and saw many black residues on the cabbage, so he asked Yu Dong: "What are these?"
Yu Dong wondered where Lin Mo found a young master who didn't distinguish between grains and grains. Didn't Menghan say that Lin Jian's family had such relatives? Could it be that they are relatives of Lin Mo's biological mother? Didn't Menghan say that Lin Mo's mother was an educated youth, and her natal family was already deserted during the turmoil
Yu Dong suppressed all kinds of guesses, smiled and said in substandard Mandarin: "Brother Han doesn't seem to have done farm work at first glance. What's on it is leftover dung."
Dung? Dung!
Han Xiaoren, who has always been a bit of a clean freak, felt as if he had been struck by lightning in an instant. The fire from his eyes almost burned holes in the cabbage leaves, and he wanted to throw it out on the road.
Yu Dong lowered his head to wash the scallions, pointed to the black spots on the white of the scallions while washing, and said, "These are dung." Feeling the constant low pressure from Han Xun, he added, "These things are also It just looks dirty, and it’s already tasteless after being exposed to the sun and rain, so just wash it off.”
"..." Han Xun looked at some scum that was suspected to be pepper skin floating on the water in the basin, and suddenly felt his stomach churning.
Yu Dong looked up and saw that his face was very ugly, and said sensiblely: "Brother Han, let me do the washing. Help me see how the stove outside is doing. If there is a flame, help me add some briquettes into it."
"Okay." Han Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and threw away the cabbage leaves impatiently.
He went outside, found two veils for cushioning, and picked up the big iron pot filled with water. Seeing the blue flames in the big stove jumping up, he took the tongs he had never used, and prepared Insert the honeycomb briquettes placed next to it in winter.
Seeing that the briquettes were black and black, he thought they were very strong, but one of them was broken when he clamped it.
When the old lady saw it, she was so distressed that she hurriedly said, "Put it down, put it down, I'll come."
Han Xun understood this time, handed the tongs to the old lady awkwardly, rubbed his nose in embarrassment and stood beside him, and when the old lady finished adding, he put the big iron pot back on the stove.
Lin Mo took a break from his busy schedule, looked at Han Xun's at a loss, couldn't help smiling, never thought that the 'omnipotent' Han Xiaoren would have today!
Lin Mo said wickedly: "Brother Han, you don't know anything, go and sit on a stool next to us, we are too busy, so don't make trouble."
Han Xun: "..."
That is to say, Dong and Aunt Wang had washed the vegetables, and Liu Li had already chopped all the meat. He and Aunt Wang worked together to chop the vegetables finely and put them aside for later use. Han Xun only saw that Lin Mo added various seasonings to the meat stuffing 'at will', and after a while the stuffing was ready, with a faint fragrance wafting out. Aunt Gu was rolling out the dough, he was pinching the buns, the two of them were flying their fingers, and fat, white buns miraculously appeared in their hands. Aunt Wang, Liu Li and the old lady have learned for a long time, and they can make buns, but the speed is extremely slow, and the buns they make are not so round and beautiful. However, time is tight today, and if they want to get out as much goods as usual, the three of them have to go into battle.
Han Xun looked at everyone busy, and he couldn't help with anything, and felt very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Aunt Wang couldn't spare a hand, so he finally had a job—making porridge.
After the first batch of steamed buns woke up, Yu Dong put the steamer on the pot. After a short ten minutes or so, the rich scent of green onions first wafted out, making people hungry.
After a while, the buns were steamed, and Yu Dong used tongs to put them in the big steamer next to them to keep warm. Han Xun was standing beside him stirring the porridge, and the scent was constantly burrowing into his nose. His stomach was not elegant but absolutely honest enough to gurgle twice. Standing beside him, Yu Dong could hear it clearly, and smiled Said: "The steamed stuffed buns just out of the cage are the most delicious. If Brother Han is hungry, you can eat a few pads first."
When the store is busy, especially in the morning, everyone has no time to sit down and have a serious meal together. Whoever is free and hungry will eat first. Lin Mo has always been very generous when it comes to working meals. He doesn't care about how much everyone eats in the store.
Han Xun thought of the black dregs in the water and the cabbage caterpillars hidden in the cracks of the leaves just now, and he was still a little bit shy, and said against his will: "I prefer to eat steamed buns and porridge, and I'm not too hungry now, let's eat later .”
Ever since Lin Mo's small shop opened, Lao Du hardly went to other places to eat breakfast. Every morning, he went to the shop to eat steamed stuffed buns and porridge, pickled vegetables and one or two tea eggs. It was hot, never had a fire, and the day was literally full of sunshine. Unexpectedly, something happened to Lin Mo suddenly, and the shop was closed for almost a week.
His wife likes to sleep late, and no one at home cooks breakfast, so it's all done outside. The small restaurant was temporarily closed, so he had no choice but to go to a breakfast restaurant where he used to eat. He ordered steamed buns and porridge as usual, but when he bit into the steamed stuffed buns, it was full of fatty lard. Even if it is still very salty, he usually eats at least two or three baskets of buns, but he can't eat any more after only a few buns. The price of porridge in this store is cheaper than that in small restaurants, but the sparse rice and mung beans in it can be seen, and there is nothing to eat except the smell of beans.
Next, Lao Du changed to eating noodles in the morning. This noodle restaurant is a time-honored restaurant in L County, and the taste is good, but Lao Du always felt empty in his heart as if something was missing after eating different flavors. After a few days, the motivation to get up early was gone.
During this period, a friend asked Lao Du out to eat hot pot for two days. It was fine if the taste was not to his liking, and he got hemorrhoids because of the fire.
There are quite a few people who think like Lao Du. Yesterday, I saw that the old lady was selling tea eggs again. When I found out that it was reopening today, everyone was happy, and I specially told the alarm clock to get up early.
Lao Du got up early, and before Yu Dong put the second batch of steamed buns on the steamer, he arrived, standing at the door of the shop and shouting.
"Little Yu, quickly serve me a few of the same ones first, ouch, I smell your steamed stuffed buns from afar, and my saliva is almost drooling."
"Old lady, give me two tea eggs too."
"Hey, this young man is new here? Is the porridge ready? Give me a bowl."
Lin Mo knew that Han Xun didn't understand, so he said, "Uncle Du, Brother Han is my friend. He is from the north, so he doesn't understand our dialect. Aunt Wang, go and see if the porridge is ready. Give Uncle Du more."
"Okay." Aunt Wang put the wrapped buns aside, trotted to the back to wash her hands, came to see that the porridge was thick enough, and hurriedly filled a big bowl for Lao Du.
Lao Du was not too polite, he took a small bowl, filled it with kimchi, ate a piece of cowpea, and said with satisfaction: "I'm not boasting, we can't find such authentic and delicious kimchi in L county." .” Each taste of sour, spicy, and sweet is just right, and each dish is crispy and refreshing.
The old lady put the steaming tea eggs in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's not as good as you said, but it's just old salt water. If you really like it, I will make a can for you someday." The old lady Du helped their family a lot, and this time helped her little grandson enter the school in the city. She was worried and didn't know how to thank him.
Old Du smiled happily: "How is that so embarrassing?"
The old lady smiled and said, "What's the matter with embarrassment? You have helped us so much, so we are not ashamed. I just hope you don't dislike me."
"For the old lady's place, I'm too happy to be in time, but I'm afraid it will trouble you too much, old man."
"What's the trouble, it's settled."
"Okay, I'll buy a big kimchi jar tomorrow, so our whole family will have a good time."
"Remember to buy earthenware ones, glass ones look good, but clay pots are better for taste."
"well."
Lao Du is a big foodie. He likes to savor carefully when he eats. When he eats delicious food, the expression on his face is always extremely enjoyable. Just watching him eat can make people salivate.
Han Xun watched him squint his eyes, chewing the steamed stuffed bun with big mouthfuls, then sniffed the fragrant steamed stuffed bun next to him, and swallowed quietly.
Han Xiaocai, who loves face so much, just said that he doesn't like steamed stuffed buns, so he has the nerve to backtrack, so he can only watch helplessly.
Lin Mo inadvertently saw him secretly swallowing, and smiled unkindly.
