Return To 1998

Considering the rented place and the limited cooking conditions, Tongdao Xu was not prepared to cook too complicated dishes, so they brought Xu Tonglin to the vegetable market to buy an old duck, two catties of mutton, and a large dish that is often eaten locally. Brill, in addition, bought some vegetables and peanuts.

Back at the residence, he asked Xu Tonglin to help him choose the dishes. He cleaned the old duck himself first, and then put it on the coal stove and simmered it first.

Stewing old duck soup takes a long time, and during this time, he can handle lamb, bream, etc. without rushing.

When dealing with these dishes, thinking about borrowing money from his cousins ​​and cousins ​​tonight, as well as the next plan, he was still a little hesitant.

He went to see the situation of Xi Dongyang's family. He was not rich. Xi Dongyang wanted to earn money alone, to support his elderly grandfather and grandmother, and to support his younger sister Xi Xiaoqian to study.

Moreover, his grandfather fell ill every once in a while, and it was a medicine jar.

Xi Dongyang's life is not easy.

J.

Can……

Tongdao Xu couldn't forget why he decided to sell barbecues in partnership with Xi Dongyang in the first place, and borrowing Xi Dongyang's deterrent power in this area to allow him to continue selling barbecues here is one reason.

But Xi Xiaoqian found him and Xu Tonglin that night and asked them to set up stalls in another street... It was also an important reason.

Why did Xi Xiaoqian let them set up stalls in another street? Why didn't Xi Dongyang come forward and talk about it?

Tongdao Xu had a hunch at the time that Xi Dongyang was going to attack them, and it was very likely that he was going to attack them ruthlessly.

Otherwise, why is his sister Xi Xiaoqian so nervous? Almost begging to let them set up stalls on other streets?

Because of this, Tongdao Xu never planned to be a real friend with Xi Dongyang from the beginning.

From the very beginning, he thought about temporarily using his interests to stabilize Xi Dongyang, and with the help of Xi Dongyang's deterrent power in this area, he would make some money first.

Also from the beginning, he thought about diluting Xi Dongyang's shares in the future.

40% of the shares...

He Xu Tongdao worked so hard, how could he be willing to give 40% of the profits to a stranger?

He Xu Tongdao has skills, what does he have in Dongyang?

Just to be ruthless?

Yes!

At the beginning, Tongdao Xu took risks because he was afraid of playing Dongyang, and took his life with him. Tongdao Xu gave up 40% of his shares to stabilize him.

But now he no longer needs to be afraid of his life.

At this time, why did he give back 40% of Xi Dongyang's shares?

These are the real thoughts of Xu Tongdao. He feels that he should dilute Xi Dongyang's shares severely, and even kick him out.

Can……

He really decided to do this, but he was always hesitant and hesitant in his heart.

It seems a little unbearable.

This kind of mentality made Xu Tongdao very upset, and he told himself in his heart - don't be soft-hearted! You don't owe him anything. There are many poor people in this world. You are a poor person yourself. What right do you have to be pitiful for that surname Xi?

However, he still couldn't bear it.

Is it because his sister Xi Xiaoqian's shoes are always so clean?

Inexplicably, Xi Xiaoqian's face flashed across Tongdao Xu's mind... and her pair of shoes that were always clean and seemed to be spotless.

And... Grandpa and grandma Xi Dongyang's gray hair and old faces.

...

Although I have these thoughts in my heart, Tongdao Xu's cooking skills still come into play when cooking.

The old duck soup was well stewed, the braised mutton was well cooked, the braised bream was also cooked to his satisfaction, and there were other dishes.

In the evening, the first cousin, Ge Liangcai, and the third cousin, Tan Ya, both worked in the Red Star Hotel and stayed in the same dormitory building, so they came together.

Xiao Dao, the rooster said that you were looking for us and wanted us to help you with something, right? What's the matter? Do you know? In order to eat your dinner,

Brother Liangcai and I are both on leave.

As soon as she entered the door, Tanya said these words with a smile.

Coincidentally, when she came, the braised mutton cooked by Xu Tongdao happened to be out of the pot.

Tongdao Xu smiled and called out Sister, just as she was about to answer her question, Tan Ya saw the braised mutton being cooked, her eyes lit up, and subconsciously walked over quickly, stretched out her hand to pick up the mutton, Yeah. , Xiaodao, when did you cook so well? What kind of dishes can you cook? I'll try it first!

While speaking, she had already picked up a piece of mutton, blew it around her mouth, and put it in her mouth to taste.

While tasting it, he shouted, gave Xu Tongdao a thumbs up, and praised: Delicious! Fresh and fragrant! The taste is really good! By the way, Xiaodao, what kind of meat are you burning?

Sister, it's lamb!

Xu Tongdao replied with a smile.

Tan Ya nodded, and hurriedly stretched out her hand and waved to Ge Liangcai, who entered the room later, Liangcai! Liangcai, come and try it! Try this mutton roasted by Xiaodao, um, it's so delicious! I really didn't eat it before. I have tasted such delicious mutton, really! If you don't believe me, try it, this meat is so badly burned, it's really fragrant, um, good...

Really? Let me see...

Ge Liangcai took the umbrella, held it in his hand, walked over, and looked at the braised mutton half in the pot and the other half in the stainless steel tray.

A surprised expression appeared on his face, and even his eyes were full of surprise.

Hey, this color burns well! Hmm... so fragrant? I'll try a piece too!

As he said that, he also stretched out a piece of mutton with skin and put it in his mouth, and chewed it casually, Ge Liangcai's expression was even more surprised, Xiao, Xiaodao, who did you learn your mutton cooking skills from? What kind of ingredients are used to cook it? How...how do you feel that it is much more delicious than our kitchen? This craftsmanship... your craftsmanship is better than mine! Who taught you? Ah?

It is always pleasant to be praised.

Tongdao Xu's smile was very happy at this time, but it was not too surprising, because the best thing he cooked in his last life was mutton.

Lamb is not very tasty because of its tainted taste. If the mutton taste is not clean, most people will find it difficult to swallow.

But what to say?

If the ingredients with strong taint and fishy smell are handled properly, they can successfully transform the taint and fishy smell into aroma, and the taste...will be particularly delicious.

The main thing is to see if it can be handled and cooked well.

It didn't use any special ingredients. It was cooked with dried chili peppers and soybean paste. The main thing was the heat.

Xu Tongdao simply answered his cousin Ge Liangcai.

He was not afraid that Ge Liang would learn his craft.

Because he didn't lie, he cooked mutton, the seasoning was second, and the main thing was the heat.

...

More than an hour later, Xu Tongdao's eldest cousin Wu Changxing, eldest cousin Wu Jing, and roosters Ge Lianghua and Feng Qinghua also came.

Ge Lianghua and Feng Qinghua were the last ones to come. Feng Qinghua should have been picked up by Ge Lianghua himself. When they came, Feng Qinghua was riding on Ge Lianghua's bicycle.
