Chapter 102 Hot Soup
Walking all the way to Mr. Liu's side, on the street at the alley, a drain was blocked by something.

Mr. Liu threw the bag he had just picked up into the garbage truck beside him, and looked at the drain with some worry.

"Father."

Holding an umbrella and coming to Mr. Liu's side, Tang Xiaokang called out softly.

Pretending to turn around, seeing that it was Tang Xiaokang, Mr. Liu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

"Master Tang, why are you here?"

Without answering the old man's words, Tang Xiaokang looked at the drain outlet where he was alone in the distance.

At the small drainage outlet on the side of the street, the muddy rainwater piled up together, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.

Things are very complicated, and there are many things blocking the drain. Under such deep water, it is really difficult to see the situation of the drain. It is really difficult to clean.

It may have just been cleaned up, and something new will block the drain.

Just now Mr. Liu stood there frowning, probably because of this incident.

The old man has a protruding waist, and it is really difficult for him to bend over for a long time.

"Your disc herniation is starting to hurt again?"

"It's an old problem. I just squatted on the ground for a long time, and I started to make mistakes again."

With a wry smile, he said that the protruding disc in his waist is known to all the vendors in the alley, and some of them have massaged him several times, so it is not surprising that Tang Xiaokang asked him.

"You said that you have reached the retirement age, why did you come back to do this thing again, what a pain!"

"I've been working all my life, so I don't stop when I say stop. Besides, breakfast is sold in this alley every day, and other people don't want to come. Isn't it troublesome if the cleaning is not clean? It will also hinder your business. "

What the old man said is true, the alley is not big, but because there is a school and office workers gather, there are many vendors. Whether it is at the school gate, the early morning vendors have brought great difficulties to the alley cleaning. .

In the past, after Mr. Liu retired, the people who came to take over the cleaning were not very clean, which made the alley look dirty all the time.

Later, Mr. Liu couldn't stand it anymore, so he came back to clean up again.

Handing the thermos bucket in his hand to Mr. Liu's cleaning tricycle, Tang Xiaokang rolled up his sleeves.

"You just rest first, I'll do it."

"How can you do this? Your clothes will be dirty by then, and you can't see clearly inside. If there is a glass, wire or something, it will be terrible to scratch your hands. You are a chef. You will rely on this soon." Eat with one hand!"

Seeing that Tang Xiaokang was about to make a move, Mr. Liu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. It was not easy and risky, so he couldn't let Tang Xiaokang make a move.

"It's okay. I have to go out later. I just need to take a shower. It's okay to get dirty. Your back hurts. Let me help you. You should rest first."

Directly bypassing Mr. Liu, Tang Xiaokang stepped into the stagnant water. In an instant, the muddy rainwater submerged Tang Xiaokang's calf.

Because of the rain, the water flow was still a little fast, and from time to time, clinker bags would be washed down, or wet paper towels would float by and stick to Tang Xiaokang's legs.

Frowning, he walked all the way to the drain.

Looking at Tang Xiaokang, Mr. Liu Chengliu was also in a hurry, he just had a bad backache, and he was going to take it easy, but he didn't expect that Master Tang went up without saying a word.

He has cleaned up the drain a lot. There is really everything in it, broken glass, wire, razor blades, and even broken plastic bottles can scratch people.

He has been injured countless times. If Tang Xiaokang is also injured, he can't afford the favor.

Master Tang is a chef, and he eats with his hands. If his hands are injured, it will be a big problem!
At this moment, Tang Xiaokang had already squatted down, and began to grope in the muddy rainwater. There were many things on the drain, but the most were all kinds of plastic bags, and they were the real culprits blocking the drain.

The three bags were pulled out, causing a small vortex to appear in the drain.

Stretching his hand in again, there was a puddle of invisible black objects and a sharp thing that almost pricked Tang Xiaokang's finger.

Taking out the things along the side, Tang Xiaokang couldn't help cursing secretly after seeing the things in his hand clearly.

It was half a beer bottle, half broken, leaving the upper body stuck in the drain.

"Who is so unqualified, it's too dangerous to throw this kind of thing around!"

After the things were cleared out, the drainage outlet instantly became unobstructed, and the stagnant water quickly poured into the sewer.

Carrying the sorted out garbage, Tang Xiaokang threw everything into the trash bin behind the tricycle.

The rain was heavy, and the rain hit their faces, making it hard for both of them to open their eyes.

"Master Tang, this, thank you so much! I really trouble you!"

His tone was full of embarrassment. Mr. Liu was taken aback when he saw Tang Xiaokang take out the beer bottle just now, for fear that Tang Xiaokang would be injured.

After seeing that the other party cleaned up all the things safe and sound, he was relieved.

"It's just a matter of raising your hands. Don't worry about any trouble. Aren't you always busy cleaning up the front of my shop?"

Anyway, his body was soaked through, Tang Xiaokang didn't bother to open the umbrella, so he directly held the umbrella in his hand.

"I'll go first if I have something to do."

In this weather, the rain on the body was really unbearable. Tang Xiaokang felt that his body temperature had completely disappeared, and he didn't know how Mr. Liu could bear it.

"Okay, okay, you are busy first, by the way, you thermos, don't forget!"

Greeting Tang Xiaokang with a smile, Mr. Liu realized that the yellow thermos brought by the other party was still on the seat of his tricycle.

"That's for you, you take it, I still have something to do, see you then!"

Shouting, Tang Xiaokang ran all the way thinking about Dongju. At the beginning, he didn't feel it. Now that he came back to his senses, Tang Xiaokang, who was soaked by the rain, was really shivering from the cold.

Before Mr. Liu could react, Tang Xiaokang had already disappeared. Standing where he was, the old man looked at the thermos, and finally rode his tricycle to the awning of the bus station.

Sitting under the awning of the bus station with a thermos bucket in hand, this is the place where he takes shelter from the rain and rests most when it rains.

Open the top cover, and soon a hot scent rushed to the old man's face. His rough hands wiped the rainwater from his face. There is this scar on the index finger, which spreads along the entire finger to the tiger's mouth of the thumb.

This was when he passed the drain before, was scratched by a blade, and inserted directly into his hand.

Open the lid, the clear soup is covered with a thick layer of mutton, sprinkled with chopped green onion, and the delicious aroma keeps pouring into the nose.

Swallowing involuntarily, the old man couldn't help taking a sip. The warm soup slid down his mouth, warming his whole body, and the delicious taste spread all over his mouth.

Always warm and fragrant in my heart.
