delicious master

Chapter 101
He walked into the hall with a teacup, poured the broken tea foam into the slop bucket, picked up the spoon he had just brewed brown sugar ginger tea, and dug out a spoonful from the iron bucket. It feels warm in the hand and can be used to keep warm.

After closing the lid, Tang Xiaokang sent it to Mr. Liu at the door.

"This is freshly brewed in my kitchen, drink it slowly and be careful not to burn it."

After taking the tea cup, the heat inside was transferred to Liu Cheng's hands through the cup wall, making the old man's hands, which were white from the cold, begin to warm up slightly.

The return of warmth in his palms made the nerves in his fingers itchy. Mr. Liu rubbed them unconsciously and said to Tang Xiaokang with a smile.

"Excuse me, Master Tang!"

"What's going on? I would like to trouble you to help us all clean the entrance of the store!"

"It should be, it should be."

The simple old man looked a little embarrassed and responded with a few words while holding the tea cup.

The weather was cold and the old man's clothes were soaked through. Tang Xiaokang didn't ask the other party to say anything, and urged the old man to go home and change clothes.

The free brown sugar ginger tea was put away, and Tang Xiaokang returned to the kitchen.

In today's rainy weather, there are probably very few people who are willing to come out. Except for the regular customers of the breakfast vendors at the door, there should be no other outside diners.

Therefore, Tang Xiaokang did not make any extra preparations to avoid waste. Even the mutton soup was directly reduced by the other half, and only two buckets were prepared.

After Wang Gua finished her meal, she wandered around in the hall and stood motionless at the door watching the rain falling outside.

Outside Dongju, the breakfast stall is still waging its final battle, and the increase in foot traffic makes everyone busier and busier.

From time to time, you can see people standing at the door of Dongju, receiving a cup of warm ginger tea, and some white-collar workers and workers passing by.There are also breakfast stall owners who are busy outside and take time out to have a drink to warm themselves up.

When people who are familiar with Tang Xiaokang see him, they will say hello with a smile. After strangers come up to take tea, they bow their heads and leave, catching the bus and subway to work.

Watching all this calmly, Tang Xiaokang and Donggua, one person and one cat, stood at the door of the hall, looking at the patter of rain outside, quite artistically.

At this time, Tang Xiaokang couldn't help but want to recite a poem.

"Ocean, you are so full of water, O horse, you have four legs...

You ran over in the rain, splashing, and you fell over on the asphalt ground. "

After reading a poem, Tang Xiaokang couldn't help but admire. He was indeed worthy of being the contemporary Li Bai, the new Poet Immortal, and his poetry was indeed outstanding.

Donggua swung Tang Xiaokang's calf with her tail, slapped it twice, then turned and left.

Looking at that fat butt, Tang Xiaokang shook his head.

This stupid thing only eats and sleeps, and doesn't even have the ability to appreciate poetry.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the tide of going to work had gradually subsided. Before the rain became stronger, many vendors packed up their things, covered them, and swarmed into Dongju.

"Master Soup, Cantonese style mutton soup!"

“Master Tang’s mutton soup!”

"Master Tang, do you still have any ginger tea? The ones outside are empty."

……

The busyness outside stopped, and it was Tang Xiaokang's turn to start running inside. Now he took out all the remaining brown sugar ginger tea to warm everyone up, and Tang Xiaokang plunged into the back kitchen.

Although the Cantonese-style mutton soup has been prepared in advance and is easy to make, it can't meet the needs of many people. Busy hands are constantly waving on the counter in the back kitchen, sprinkled with a handful of fresh shallots that have been chopped long ago, and the taste is delicious. more prominent.

The busyness of the morning started amidst such excitement, and the bucket of stewed mutton soup bottomed out very quickly.

He took off the iron bucket and soaked it in water, then put in the bucket of ginger tea and boiled it again. It didn't take long for a new bucket of brown sugar ginger tea to come out.

After carrying the ginger tea out, many people immediately came up to help. Several people directly lifted the ginger tea in Tang Xiaokang's hands and lifted it into the tea bucket outside the door.

Following the others out, Tang Xiaokang saw that Mr. Liu had changed his clothes and was standing at the alleyway again in his raincoat to clean up.

"Old man, come in and take shelter from the rain!"

The rain was so heavy that Tang Xiaokang's voice could not be heard at all without any effort. After shouting a few times, the old man opposite began to react.

Looking back at Tang Xiaokang, without taking off his raincoat, he waved his hand directly, unable to signal, and lowered his head to clean again.

"It's not easy for Mr. Liu. Sometimes he helps clean up some of the garbage we make. He's really a little embarrassed."

Gou Fu was also the one who had just helped. Standing next to Tang Xiaokang, he saw Mr. Liu in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

After so many years of travelling, he has come into contact with all kinds of people as a hawker. He has never met a few honest sanitation workers like Mr. Liu. At such a young age, his work is really admirable.

"Go in, so as not to disturb other people's work."

Seeing that the old man was unwilling, Tang Xiaokang didn't say much. He spoke to the people around him and ran back to the hall.

The rain outside has never been letting up, but has a trend of getting heavier and heavier.

Many people planned to go home when the rain subsided after eating, but seeing this situation, everyone didn't know that they would have to wait until the year of the monkey, so they finally got up and ran outside, preparing to rush home wearing their own raincoats.

Everyone gradually left, and the hall became empty again.

The rain mixed with stains made the floor of the hall look a little muddy. With a mop, the floor of the entire hall was cleaned and the tables were arranged.

It is estimated that there will be no business again at noon today. With such heavy rain, it is very difficult to go out.

After thinking about it, Tang Xiaokang returned to the kitchen, with half of the second bucket of mutton soup left.

After chopping some shallots, Tang Xiaokang took out two thermos buckets from the cabinet, filled them with mutton soup in order, covered the mutton, and sprinkled a layer of chopped green onions.

After doing all this, Tang Xiaokang paused for a while, then took out another thermos bucket from the cabinet, and repeated the changes in the original order.

Red, yellow and blue, three thermos barrels of different colors are neatly placed here after the Cantonese-style mutton soup is filled.

It was raining heavily, and the reed chickens and Ahua chickens in the yard were too afraid to come out of the coop. It was hard for them these days. The heavy rain made it impossible for their chickens to even have a chance to have fun.

Holding the yellow thermos bucket, Tang Xiaokang walked out of the door holding an umbrella.

At the alley, Mr. Liu was still cleaning. The rain washed a lot of rubbish onto the street. Plastic bags and packaging bags of various colors stuck to the ground, making it impossible to clean. pick it up.

In fact, I also want to work hard to update, but there is a problem in the middle.

Hand: "I want to code well and work hard to update."

Brain: "No, you don't want to..."

But don’t worry, starting from tonight, I will seriously brainwash you.
