Chapter 809 Relatives
Zhao Changan and Wen Ye walked through the bright forest path and arrived at Jin Shibo's food stall.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, but half of the food stall with more than a dozen tables was still occupied by diners, drinking, punching, and bragging.
"Boss, here are two lamb kidneys, inner loin, and pork skewers for ten yuan, and tofu skewers for five yuan, with more chilies; two cups of draft beer, a plate of edamame, a snail, and a pot of grilled fish, with more chili.
Thousands of sheets.”
Zhao Changan and Wen Ye found an empty seat and sat down. Wen Ye held the hilt of his sword and paused slightly towards the ground. "Clang clang~" The scabbard was inserted into the gap paved with square bricks on the river embankment, squeezing the bricks towards the ground.
The bricks on both sides collide.
And Zhao Changan was shouting at Jin Shibo.
Before crossing over, he had not been back to the mountain city for almost a year, and it had been another year and a half since crossing over. He had not eaten at the food stalls in Jinshibo in the past two and a half years, and he was indeed a little greedy.
Anyway, there will be fewer opportunities in the future, so just waste a little tonight.
"Okay!"
Jin Shibo, who was wearing a chef's hat, was busy with his hands and feet, and loudly agreed, but he didn't even look here, he was just busy grilling skewers and stewing the pot.
A girl took a pen and wrote down what Zhao Changan reported, and then posted the small note on a wooden board next to the operating table to make it easier for Jinshi to prepare the dishes.
"First, let's have two cups of draft beer, edamame, and snails; just the two of us."
When Zhao Changan saw the girl looking at him, he was obviously thinking if anyone else was coming after calling so many people, so he hesitated whether to serve the food now, so he told her that there were only two of them.
When the waitress heard what Zhao Changan said, she quickly poured two large glasses of draft beer, filled a stack of edamame and a stack of snails, and brought them over.
I also knew this young girl, Zhao Changan, whose nickname was Xiu'er, who would be Jin Shibo's future daughter-in-law. She was not to say pretty, but she was also clean-cut and pretty.
He is also hard-working and capable, with a gentle personality.
Eating edamame, chewing spicy and fragrant snail meat, and drinking small beers while blowing the river breeze, Zhao Changan and Wen Ye enjoyed their meal very happily.
When the Shancheng specialty pork skewers arrived, my mouth was filled with oil.
"Huh~"
At this time, the river wind started to pick up, making the grove of trees "squeak" loudly. The long vertical lines of the weeping willow trees along the riverside were all waving in one direction.
The air was filled with moist water vapor, and the dark clouds in the south had quickly covered half of the sky.
"It's going to rain. Come and sit in the shed. It rains hard this summer, but it also rains fast."
This shed in Jinshibo can accommodate six tables, but there are only five tables outside, which is completely enough for seating.
When it was his turn to help Zhao Changan and Wen Ye collect, Jin Shibo met Zhao Changan's smiling face. He was confused for a moment, then glanced at Wen Ye next to him, then turned back to Zhao Changan and exclaimed: "
Zhao, is that you?"
"Boss, business is booming!"
Zhao Changan smiled and asked: "Do you know me?"
"How could I not know him? I have the newspaper you interviewed in my hand, and I saw Wen Ye at the groundbreaking ceremony. You guys are playing really well now! You need to be able to do this business (dialect: Thank you), isn't that right?
You see, I was the first one, and in just half a year, it has now become a bustling night stall."
"Boom~"
At this time, faint thunder came from the clouds in the southern sky, and lightning like electric snakes disappeared and swam in the clouds.
"It's going to rain. Go in first and I'll prepare your grilled fish first. We'll leave a little later tonight and let's talk."
Jin Shibo was obviously very happy to see Zhao Changan.
"Wow~"
"Crack!"
Jin Shibo’s calculation was not accurate this time.
After the first drop of rain fell on the Taohua River, it was followed by a torrential downpour.
And it has been raining for more than an hour with no sign of stopping. Instead, the surface of the Taohua River is rising bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.
By this time, it was already half past one in the morning.
The diners at the other four tables couldn't stand it any longer, and they all tried their best to leave by various means.
At one table, one person even asked for a plastic bag, covered it over his head and walked into the rainstorm laughing.
Only the table of Zhao Changan and Wen Ye was left, as well as Jin Shibo, who had cooked grilled fish, a pile of mutton skewers, lamb kidneys, and a pot of lamb chops, and the waitress Xiu'er.
"Let's eat together. Don't expect me to pay for this meal."
Zhao Changan smiled at Jin Shibo.
"That's for sure!"
Jin Shibo actually wanted to get over there for a long time, but Zhao Changan didn't say anything, and he was embarrassed.
At this time, the smile on his face was like a flower: "Xiu'er, take out the two bottles of wine that Brother Liu saved."
Seeing Xiu'er's hesitation, Jin Shibo smiled and said: "This is the famous singer Zhao Chang'an that you have always missed. Why don't you be more generous if you want an autograph? I will buy two more bottles to make up for it tomorrow."
"ah?"
Xiu'er looked at Zhao Changan with a shocked expression.
"It's a little fun to sign, but I have to drink too much, otherwise my handwriting will be crooked."
Zhao Changan smiled and joked.
"Langjiu, is it better to compete with a cow or not?"
In the past two years, Langjiu has become popular in high-end drinking venues in mountain cities. One bottle costs 156, and two bottles costs over 300, which is equivalent to one month's salary of an ordinary salesperson in mountain cities.
In mountain cities, many people drink Langjiu not for its taste and quality, but for its price to show that they are superior to others.
"This wine is so good, my hands won't shake after drinking it!"
Zhao Changan laughed loudly.
Seeing that Zhao Changan recognized the wine he recommended, Jin Shibo also laughed happily.
"Ding~"
Three glasses of spicy wine and one glass of draft beer were served together.
The hot pot is cooking grilled fish and lamb chops, and the mutton skewers and lamb kidneys are grilled over red charcoal fire until they are "sizzling~" dripping with oil.
Xiu'er brought out the remaining edamame, snails, peanuts, and spicy crayfish, and slowly set up a table.
There were heavy raindrops overhead, pounding against the canvas awning. From the open end of the shed, you could see the pouring rain, which was like a rain of arrows in the light of the street lights on the river embankment.
There were three spicy wine cups, each one small, and the liquid was clear and transparent. The three of them drank it all in one gulp.
"When did you come back and didn't hear anything?"
"Last night."
"What are you doing back here?"
Zhao Changan laughed.
"Brother Jin, the mountain city is my home, why do you want to come back?"
Next to me, Xiuer blamed her boss for being stupid.
"No, that's not what I meant."
"I know."
Zhao Changan raised his wine glass and gestured to Jin Shibo and Xiu'er: "I won't stay for long, I will be careful."
"That father and son pair are so evil. Uncle Xu got in before he could do anything. Damn it!"
Jin Shibo cursed.
"You know Xu San, do you call him uncle?"
Zhao Changan was really surprised. He had known this guy for more than ten years, but he didn't even know about it.
"It's not a relative. Uncle Xu's hometown is in Hepeng Village. It's the same village as my grandfather. We are distant relatives. If we have relatives in the same village, we can all be friends. When I was a child, I lived at my grandfather's house during the summer vacation. I would run to Laodaqiao at noon.
I nearly drowned while swimming, but he went down into the river and fished me out, saving my life."
Jin Shibo said passionately: "No one in the village came out at noon at that time. If he hadn't stolen a lady's new Phoenix bicycle in the town across the river and returned to the village, he wouldn't have met me. And Uncle Xu is very tight-lipped.
