The journey of the spirits in the heavens

The shop is not big, the stove is outside, there are nearly a hundred small fire holes on it, and the earthen pot of stewed beef is placed on it. The lid of the earthen pot on the top of the steaming beef aroma is not buzzing, and the aroma also takes the opportunity to slip out to lure the passers-by. .

There are only five small rectangular tables in the shop, and there are at most twenty people sitting there, half of which are already seated at this time.It is late autumn now, and the temperature outside is not high. As soon as you enter the store, you will be greeted by the warmth and the aroma of beef, which immediately makes you feel comfortable all over your body.

Gu Yue glanced at Xie Xie in surprise, "I didn't expect that a young master from a rich family could eat at a roadside restaurant!"

Xie Xie did not quarrel with her this time, "Mom used to love the canned beef from this store. I would come here every once in a while." As he said that, he had already walked in. He sat down at a table in the back.

Mo Yi looked at Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, then walked in together and sat down opposite Xie Xie.

"Hey, Xie Xie is here, and he brought friends. Is it still the same?" The boss is a middle-aged uncle with a greasy apron around his waist and a smile on his face.

"Well, thank you, Uncle Li." Xie Xie smiled. Soon, four portions of canned beef, four bowls of white rice, and two side dishes made of green vegetables were served.

"This is your first time to bring friends here. I'll give you some side dishes. And this pretty little girl, why don't you have something to eat?" Uncle Li said with a smile, and then touched Xie Xie's head, as if He treats his nephew like a normal person.

Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie in surprise. Xie Xie had a mysophobia. His bed was always the cleanest in the dormitory. But at this time, when faced with the touch of the street shop owner, he not only did not avoid it , but with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Uncle Li."

Whether it is Tang Wulin or Gu Yue, Xie Xie's image in this state is somewhat subversive.

Xie Xie said: "What are you waiting for? Eat quickly." While speaking, he had already lifted the lid of the earthen pot in front of him, and the inside of the earthen pot suddenly exuded a strong aroma of beef. The soup was dark golden, and you could see Cut the beef into small pieces one by one.Xie Xie touched it with chopsticks, and immediately, the beef was crispy.

Carefully took out a piece and put it on the white rice, and then ate it with the white rice, his face was full of enjoyment.

Mo Yi couldn't bear it anymore and started eating like Xie Xie. "It's delicious." He exclaimed. It was indeed delicious. The strong aroma of beef, accompanied by soup, and the salty aroma were neutralized by the white rice, making it perfect.

Gu Yue also took a bite and couldn't help but feel moved.

It's such a small shop, with dim lights, shabby tables and chairs, but amazing food. Beef, thick soup, side dishes, and white rice are all delicious and warm.

The atmosphere among the four people who had been training together for three months was obviously much more harmonious than in the academy.

"Uncle Li, please have another ten portions." Xie Xie greeted Uncle Li because he knew someone's appetite very well.

Tang Wulin scratched his head in embarrassment, "Thank you."

"What?" Xie Xie looked up at him. Tang Wulin said helplessly: "Your name is really bad, I was talking about the thank you."

Xie Xie suddenly smiled bitterly, with red eyes, "My name was given by my mother. My mother told me that she gave me this name because she was grateful for that encounter. She said that she was the most grateful person in her life. The happy thing was that I met my father at that time. But..." At this point, his face suddenly became a little pale, and the hand holding the chopsticks was obviously strong.

"Your mother?" Tang Wulin asked hesitantly.Although he could tell that Xie Xie's family was very wealthy, this was the first time he heard Xie Xie mention family affairs.

Xie Xie pursed his lips and said, "Dad is busy all day long. Even when my mother was seriously ill, he was always running around. Before my mother passed away, her last wish was to see him, but he came back late.

I will never forget that night, my mother let go of my hand with tears in her eyes and regret in her eyes. I hated him, I hated him! I also hate my name. If it hadn't been for that encounter, my mother might not have..." At this point, he suddenly leaned on the table. When he came here, he seemed to have shed all his cold and arrogant feelings. Disguise, this is also the first time he confides his feelings to others.

At this moment, Uncle Li brought over a new stuffed canned beef.While laying it on the table, he sighed, "This child is so pitiful. His mother used to like to bring him here. Then his mother left, and he came by himself. Every time I think of my mother, don't blame him Ah! It’s rare to see him bring friends here, and I’m so happy for him. This kid is young, but his mind is very heavy. Please help him, hey, what a crime!”

"Hey, don't cry. I take back what I said before. I'll let you treat me today." Gu Yue kicked Xie Xie who was opposite him.

Xie Xie raised his head and wiped the water from his eyes with his sleeve, "I smell like copper!"

Gu Yue curled her lips, "The little brat is quite vindictive."

Xie Xie said angrily: "You are the same age as me, and the month is younger than me, right? I'm a brat, what are you? A brat girl?"

Mo Yi looked at the sad Xie Xie and said, "Why are you sad? No matter what he says, he is still your father. Why do you hate him?"

"Want to hear my story? It's much worse than yours."

After hearing this, Xie Xie stopped being sad and looked at Mo Yi, as did Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, especially Tang Wulin, who had lived with Mo Yi for three years, but none of them knew Mo Yi's story.

"Well, I was kidnapped by a trafficker when my parents were not around. I spent three dark months there. Those who helped me all died. They protected the youngest I."

"Even the people I loved the most were gone, as were my parents. Then I came to Aolai City alone, and then lived with Wulin."

They all fell silent after listening to what Mo Yi said. Xie Xie, Gu Yue and Tang Wulin really didn't expect that Mo Yi still had this past.

"Compared to me, you are already very lucky. Xie Xie, your father still loves you and your mother very much." Mo Yi always felt the strangeness in his body getting deeper when he talked about this.

Gu Yue opened a new earthen jar, lowered her head and started to eat. While eating, she said: "I won't argue with a crying guy. Woo hoo, it's delicious."

Mo Yi closed his eyes, he couldn't bear to see this scene.

When the four people left the stuffed pot beef restaurant, Uncle Li looked at their backs and couldn't help but sigh, "Children these days are so delicious!" A meal of stuffed pot beef not only brought satisfaction to the four of Mo Yi and warmth, which invisibly shortened the distance between the four of them.

Then there are salt-roasted prawns. Fresh prawns are pierced with bamboo sticks, grilled over charcoal fire, and sprinkled with salt foam. It couldn't be simpler, but it is full of the delicious taste of the sea.

Tang Wulin fully demonstrated the demeanor of the God of Cookery. The four of them ate from one end of the snack street to the other, full of laughter.

"It's good to eat." Gu Yue held Mo Yi's shoulder, while Xie Xie held Tang Wulin's shoulder and said the same.

Tang Wulin smiled and said, "If you can't stomach enough, don't learn from the God of Cookery."

Xie Xie rolled his eyes, "What a god of food, you are a foodie. I wanted to say that the first time I saw you eating."

Tang Wulin snorted coldly, "Let's go on and eat. It's your treat anyway."

Xie Xie said in shock: "Can you still eat it?" This guy just ate on the way, the total amount he ate must be a cow, right?

Tang Wulin said proudly: "That's right!"

During this period, Mo Yu kept stuffing things into his mouth. Although he ate more than Tang Wulin, he looked so elegant. Mo Yi didn't say much, but he was suddenly stunned. There's something going on over there.

"Hey! What's going on over there?" Gu Yue said suddenly.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie looked up and saw that there seemed to be some commotion at the entrance to the snack street, with many people surrounding them. That location seems to be the stuffed pot beef restaurant!

"Go over and have a look." Xie Xie ran over there without bothering to argue with Tang Wulin. Mo Yi, Tang Wulin and Gu Yue followed behind.

"You can't be like this, you can't be like this! This is the guy I eat for." Before they even got close, the four of them heard a cry of sorrow, and it was Uncle Li's voice.

Xie Xie was at the front and quickly squeezed into the crowd. The stove in front of the Meng Pot Beef Shop had been overturned, and the earthen pots fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Beef soup flowed across the ground, the thick aroma of meat was accompanied by heat, and the ground was in a mess. Uncle Li fell at the door of the store, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and one of his eyes was swollen. His face was full of grief and anger.

In front of the store, there were three burly men standing. The leader was bald, but in the cold weather, he had a pair of bare arms with dragon-shaped tattoos on them.The other two are also tall, and they don't look like good people at first glance.

"The surnamed Li is a man who knows the current affairs. There are no people in this street who dare not pay the protection fee. You push back and forth all day long. Do you think that I, Guanglong, am a beggar? I come to you every day to ask for a small amount of money? If not for this You're really good at making beef in a can. I've already destroyed you. Don't talk nonsense. If you can't get the money today, you won't be able to open this store in the future." The bald man said with a cold look. Although there were many people around him, There were few people, but no one dared to speak out.

"Brother Guanglong, it's not that I don't pay protection money, it's really because my woman is very sick, and I work from early to late every day to earn a little money to treat her. You can't ruin my business! In that case, The woman in my family won’t be able to survive, and I won’t be able to survive either.

Guanglong laughed, "Okay!" Are you threatening me with your life? Do you think I care about your life? Without you, I would find another one here and pay me the same protection fee. If you can't pay, get out and don't take up space. "As he said that, he stepped forward and kicked the stove at the door to the ground. In an instant, the whole can of beef was in a mess in front of him.
