Chapter 288
In the quiet afternoon, the sun has begun to warm up, but the air outside is still very cold.

Because it was Sunday, Xiao Yuanyuan didn't have to go to school, so at this moment, she was also lying on the table with Tang Xiaokang, propping her head with one hand, staring at the crock pot on the charcoal stove.

Today is the last day of making Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. Just now Zhang Li and the others have contacted Tang Xiaokang in advance. After a while, the two of them will come with Mr. Li and a guard accompanying them.

The old man is still sleeping. In the past few days, Tang Youwei and Tang Xiaokang have been supervising each other in shifts.

Yesterday, the old man Tang Youwei kept an eye on the heat until about six o'clock in the morning today, and then he changed into Tang Xiaokang who got up. Now the old man is still resting.

He stared at the back kitchen.

The Buddha jumping over the wall in the charcoal stove is better.

Although he couldn't see the situation inside the jar, Tang Xiaokang could only rely on his own feelings to make a judgment.

This time, the old man Buddha Tiaoqiang did it very carefully. Except that he could smell the delicious fragrance when he added the ingredients in the middle, now the whole back kitchen can't smell any fragrance from Buddha Tiaoqiang. Only when you get close, you lie down There, you can smell a familiar fragrance from the lotus leaves.

This is completely different from the situation when Tang Xiaokang made it. Tang Xiaokang made Buddha Jumping over the Wall twice in the back kitchen of Dongju. Each time, the rich fragrance seemed to permeate the entire kitchen. It would be like this, and it smelled... Not much extra flavor.

In the charcoal stove under the crock, there were still two pieces of black bamboo charcoal that were about to be half-burned. These two pieces of bamboo charcoal could maintain an even firepower, and when the old man Li Shengming came, it happened to be finished.

It's also just in time to finish the stewing of Buddha Jumping over the Wall.

Tang Xiaokang is far behind such a terrifying control. What is the control of the fire, this is it.

Even if no one is around, he can firmly control the heat and temperature in the carbon stove. This is a gap that Tang Xiaokang can't even compare with his naked eyes.

One afternoon seems to be a long time, but in fact, it is just a blink of an eye, and the time has passed like this.

Although I haven't seen what the old man's Buddha jumps over the wall looks like, Tang Xiaokang can already feel how excellent the Buddha jumps over the wall on the carbon stove and in the tile tank just from the gap in details.

There is no extra aroma wafting out, and now the aroma of all the ingredients is gathered in this earthen jar. It is hard to imagine what kind of beauty and shock it will be when the lid is opened after a while.

Originally, Tang Xiaokang thought he would rest for a while, but he got up at three o'clock. After washing up, he went back to the back kitchen and stared at the Buddha jumping over the wall in front of him.

The old man’s eyes are full of bloodshot eyes. He has been watching most of the Buddha’s jumping over the wall these days. Only when he can’t hold on, will Tang Xiaokang take over. For an old man like him Said, such a high labor thing, really a little tired.

Not long after, Mr. Li Shengming came to Dongju under the leadership of Zhang Li and Wu Gang.

The first person to come in was a man in casual military uniform. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tang Xiaokang and Tang Youwei staring at the fire, with a smile on his face.

The young man is not very old, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his complexion looks a little immature.

"Why are you walking so fast, this is a restaurant, not a battlefield, why are you so serious!"

Then Wu Gang chased up from behind, grabbed the young man and talked for a while, then laughed at Tang Xiaokang and Tang Youwei as well.

"Master Tang, I'm sorry for your trouble, and I'm sorry for your old man."

"I'm fine, and that old Li, Buddha Jumping Wall is almost ready, it's best to try it when it's just out of the oven."

Before Tang Xiaokang could pick up the conversation, Tang Youwei in the back kitchen spoke directly, his eyes never leaving the earthenware vat in front of him, watching the last trace of residual heat from the charcoal fire underneath, facing the outside Wu Gang spoke up.

"Behind, come right away! Come right away!"

Hearing that the old man said that Buddha Jumping the Wall would be healed soon, Wu Gang immediately became excited, dragged the boy in military uniform and ran towards the door.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Tang Xiaokang had already heard the voices of discussions outside, and couldn't help but walk out.

"I'm still getting old, my legs and feet are not as sharp as before, and now I even struggle to walk."

The voice was a little hoarse, but very deep, and Tang Xiaokang had already felt the momentum of the other party before meeting him, and there was a burst of vigor in that voice.

When I came to the door, I saw Zhang Li and the guard just now helping an old man walk in slowly, walking steadily, the crutch in his hand was on the ground, making a loud and clear sound, his right foot seemed to be inconvenient, Push yourself forward little by little.

"Mr. Li, slow down, don't fall down."

Zhang Li supported the old man, very carefully, while telling the other party, lest he lose his footing and fall to the ground.

"I can't fall. I was blown to one leg in South Vietnam. I jumped all the way back. I didn't even ask for a stretcher. How could I fall down at this point?"

Following Zhang Li's words indifferently, the old man raised his head and saw Tang Xiaokang standing at the door of Dongju. The same Tang Xiaokang also saw the other party. When his eyes met, Tang Xiaokang suddenly froze.

When he saw the old man's face, Tang Xiaokang really didn't realize what kind of face it was. There was a ten-centimeter-long gash at the corner of his mouth, which was very hideous. It looked like a centipede after it was stitched together. There is no left eye, and the empty skin around the eye socket is burned, making the face look very distorted.

Looking at Tang Xiaokang with such a face, his heart trembled.

"This old guy's face scares you."

Looking at Tang Xiaokang's appearance, old man Li Shengming laughed freely and joked.

"Where is there, where is there anything scary, this is an honor, and it is reassuring!"

After listening to the old man's words, Tang Xiaokang quickly denied that he was an old man who had experienced countless wars. It was after witnessing the scenes in the fantasy that Tang Xiaokang could truly understand how many tragic things Li Shengming had experienced in his life. In battle, he has been adhering to the saying that the Sichuan army will live up to the country throughout his life, and he will truly implement it to the end.

"Anything that is honorable or not is just a vain thing. There are no female dolls. You can't scare the little ones."

As he spoke, the old man tremblingly wanted to take out the mask from his pocket and put it on for himself.

"The old man hurry up and sit down, it's all right."

He stepped forward to help Li Shengming, and Tang Xiaokang took him to Dongju.
