Return to the top of the road to champions

Dog fur hat, dog fur coat, dog skin knee pads, and big hands. Dressed like a soybean bag, Tao Wei stood by the stove and warmed himself by the fire, watching Geng Erfeng greet the neighbors, while Waner donkey was gently turning on the ground. The big iron basin next to the stove, in case someone accidentally cooked the fish fillets frozen in the basin.

"Second baby, hurry up and eat. Uncle Zhao said that after four o'clock in the evening, you can get on when it gets dark."

While picking it up, Wan Yonggui, who was chatting with the roasted sweet potato next to him, stuffed the roasted dark sweet potato into Tao Wei's hand.

The faint scent of the hot roasted sweet potatoes made Tao Wei's stomach growl. He raised his head and looked at the old man standing in the cold wind with his wrinkled face. Tao Wei smiled, "Grandpa Zhao, thank you."

Tao Wei's crisp thank you stunned Zhao Laonian for a moment, and then his face was full of creases, his mouth missing two teeth and he smiled, "Thank you, hurry up and eat."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Laotian looked at Wan Yonggui, "Boss, your baby is good."

The clumsy and clumsy Zhao Laotian's solid praise made Wan Erlu and Wan Yonggui who were squatting on the ground smile proudly. Wan Erlu turned the iron basin, stood up and walked to Zhao Laotian, "Brother, is the business good?" ? Is there anyone in charge?"

While asking, Wanerlu took out a cigarette pouch from his pocket, opened the pouch, took out two sticks of home-rolled tobacco, and handed it to Zhao Laoyan. The two brothers squatted on the ground and chatted while resting.

Tao Wei, who was squatting behind Wan'er Donkey, listened secretly while eating sweet potatoes. After all, he was an old man in the county town who walked around the streets all year round. Zhao Laonian knew the county town very well.

Just the Lantern Festival started on the thirteenth and lasted until the seventeenth.On the evening of the [-]th, when the stall was closed, it was necessary to say that although the stall was a bit embarrassing, it still made a lot of money every month. Although there was no exact figure, Tao Wei still understood from Zhao Laonian's slightly complacent words that every month was small. Twenty is definitely out.

He raised his head and glanced at Wan Yonggui, who was also squatting aside to eavesdrop. The surprise on Wan Yonggui's face made Tao Wei a little funny and a little sour. A small twenty is 20 yuan. For a big city, this 20 yuan may It’s not enough money for snacks for children from well-off families, but for the poor in Dawangtun, 20 yuan may be the gift money for the whole year. Li only gave five yuan.

20 yuan, how many problems can be solved, Tao Wei, who lowered his eyes, let out a long breath while swallowing some dry sweet potatoes.

After eating the palm-sized sweet potato, Tao Wei rubbed his hands and stood up and looked at the boiling cauldron. A flash of refusal to admit defeat flashed in his eyes, and Tao Wei looked up at the sky. The dark sky was a bit oppressive.

Can't lose, can't lose, even if it's hard to die, returning to the ice rink is the deepest and most serious obsession in Tao Wei's heart.

The sky slowly changed from dark to pitch black. After a while of flickering, the lanterns on West Street were lit up. Although the street lights were transparent, the colorful lanterns were simple and rough, but they exuded a sense of joy and joy. hope.

Seeing the crowd gradually appearing on the street, Tao Wei took a deep breath and took a step forward, "Brother, increase the fire."

The unusually calm Tao Wei stunned Wan Xiaodong, who was squatting by the stove and turning the iron basin, raised his head to look at Tao Wei with tense facial features and a solemn expression, nodded in a daze, grabbed the wooden box next to him, and was about to go Put it in the eye of the stove, suddenly, Wan Xiaodong stopped the movement of his hands when he came back to his senses, "Erba, there is no one, what are you doing adding firewood?"

The puzzled Wan Xiaodong made Tao Wei smile slightly, "There will be someone soon."

The affirmative and confident answer made Wan Xiaodong blink his eyes. For some reason, Wan Xiaodong suddenly believed what Tao Wei said. The cauldron that was tumbling quickly exuded a strong aroma. I grabbed a handful of threaded mushrooms, fungus, and Chinese cabbage and put them in the pot, and took a handful of fish fillets in my hand.

"Don't miss it when you pass by, taste the delicious skewers before you buy..."

Some hoarse shouts suddenly sounded from the corner, with a little hoarse shouts, it was very attractive on the West Street where the flow of people was not very strong, especially the taste before buying attracted everyone's attention.

Following the sound, a short boy wearing a dog fur hat appeared in front of everyone. His thin and thin face with a pair of slender eyes with a smile was very attractive.

After slowly approaching, the tangy aroma hits the face. Looking at the tumbling cauldron and the crowd approaching, Tao Wei quickly put the fish skewers in the pot. In just 2 minutes, the fresh and smooth fish fillets Skewered out of the pot, and cast a look at Wan Xiaodong, who was standing aside with a blushing face and a thick neck. Wan Xiaodong flinched slightly, making Tao Wei secretly roll his eyes, signaling to Geng Erfeng and Wan Yonggui who came back after hearing the shout. After taking over.

Tao Wei, who was full of smiles, walked towards the crowd with a handful of fish skewers and cooked fungus and mushrooms.

While walking, Tao Wei took a quick glance and fixed his eyes on an old lady standing on the right side. The curiosity and greed in the eyes of the old lady wearing a new-style padded jacket made Tao Wei smile, and trotted two steps to come to the old lady , "Auntie, try my family's Chuan Chuan Xiang, it doesn't cost money if it's not good."

Tao Wei, who stretched out his hand while talking, took a string of fish fillets in his hand and handed them over, hesitated for a while, after Tao Wei said again that it was not delicious and free of money, the aunt stretched out her hand, and glanced at the smiling eyes Tao Wei lowered his head and took a bite. The spicy taste made the woman's eyes brighten. After two bites, a string of fish fillets disappeared in front of everyone.

With the first one to try, the remaining skewers in Tao Wei's hands were quickly handed out. In the cold weather, the spicy skewers were fragrant and spicy, but the stimulated taste buds clamored for more skewers and more skewers.

People who didn't want to know each other glanced at each other, a young man wearing a cap stepped forward and stood in front of Wan Yonggui and Geng Erfeng, "Why are you selling it?"

"Brother, a dime is a bunch, all of them are a dime. Although the mushrooms and fungus in my house are vegetables, they are all picked from the mountains, the fish are also freshly caught, and even the cabbage is also a bunch. .”

"Give me five fish and five mushrooms."

While talking, the young man who pulled out a dollar kept his eyes on the rolling cauldron, and Geng Erfeng and Wan Yonggui, who were in a panic, put fish in the pot while the other took mushrooms.

The high price was not as expected, and the price that was completely unexpected made the onlookers heave a sigh of relief. With a sigh, the crowd crowded in front of the cauldron. Tao Wei, who was afraid of being scalded, quickly stood in the cauldron, "Everyone Don't crowd uncles and aunts, the pot is hot, don't burn the big guys during the festival."

Tao Wei, who stood in front of the crowd while shouting, made everyone burst into laughter. Looking at the tumbling cauldron, the crowded crowd took a step back. The relieved Tao Wei grinned and ran to Wanyonggui. Beside him, the nimble Tao Wei quickly grabbed a handful of fish skewers and put them in the pot.

"Two fish, three fungus."

"Five fish."

Immediately there was a rush of shouts, and the three people around the cauldron hurriedly put the skewers into the pot, and seeing Geng Erfeng and Wan Yonggui who had already neglected their heads and feet, Tao Wei put down the sticks in his hands. The fish skewers were handed to Waner Donkey, who was anxiously surrounding him, and turned around to collect money.

The little Tao Wei asked if it would be spicy while collecting the money with a smile. It was difficult to agree with everyone. As early as when preparing the spicy pot, Tao Wei was thinking about whether it would be spicy or not. Fortunately, after several attempts, Although the spicy hot pot at this time is spicy, it is not unacceptable.

Unexpectedly full, several people were in a hurry, and they even brought up the business of Zhao Laonian next to them, eating a mouthful of spicy and tender fish skewers, and a mouthful of sweet potatoes.I don't know where the eating method came from. Zhao Laonian's pot of sweet potatoes was sold out before the official start of the lantern festival.

Anxious Zhao Laoyan added fire and stuffed sweet potatoes, and secretly tapped his mouth while busying, which was too easy to do.

Walking through the crowd, the little Tao Wei's smiling face accurately distributed the cooked skewers, and the occasional yelling became louder and louder. After watching for a long time, Wan Xiaodong, who slowly walked into the crowd, watched Tao Wei, who was looking up with a bright smile, took a deep breath, "It's delicious and not expensive, so don't miss it when you pass by."

The ear-shattering shout suddenly stopped Tao Wei's movements, and he turned his head to look at Wan Xiaodong, whose face was blushing. There was a touch of warmth in his smiling, slender eyes, and he quietly pulled Wan Xiaodong away. The trembling fingertips of Xiaodong's hand made Tao Wei give Wan Xiaodong a thumbs up, "Brother, you are awesome."

Tao Wei's encouragement made Wan Xiaodong's shyness disappear, and Wan Xiaodong, who was grinning all over his face, followed Tao Wei through the crowd, "Er baby, Er baby."

The shout behind him attracted Tao Wei, who had just collected the money, smiled embarrassedly at the uncle who took the string, and hurried back to the cauldron, Tao Wei looked at the half-baked string, his eyes lit up, Without Geng Erfeng's call, he consciously squatted on the ground and took out the prepared empty sticks to wear fish fillets.

Tao Wei clenched his fist hard when Cha Leng took the fish fillet with ice balls, and then took off the hand that was in the way, and quickly put it on with a stick in one hand and the fish fillet in the other. At such a fast speed, his exposed fingers became Tao Wei rubbed his hands vigorously from time to time as his fingertips became numb.

The characteristics of the Chinese people are not so lively, which made the already crowded booth more crowded. In addition, Wan Xiaodong yelled loudly and loudly, and the two strings of voices kept ringing. The busy Geng Erfeng saw the squatting Tao Wei, who was on the ground, quickly put the skewers in the cauldron, walked quickly to Tao Wei's side, pulled Tao Wei and pushed him to the front of the pot, "Second baby, you cook, second aunt."

While talking, Geng Erfeng, who squatted down + his body, seemed to be busy working quickly, looking at Geng Erfeng whose back was facing him, Tao Wei smiled, rubbed his hands, and picked up the stick that was placed by the side of the pot , picked it up and took a look, divided the blanched fish fillets and distributed them one by one.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when the Lantern Festival was the most crowded, a cart of skewers had already been sold out. Looking at the empty pots and the crowds that hadn't dispersed yet, under the cover of the pot, Tao Wei gently Pulled Geng Erfeng's lapel, "Tomorrow."

The puzzled Geng Erfeng hadn't waited for the words of lowering his head and lowering his head to ring in his ears. Geng Erfeng, with bright eyes, looked at the rather spectacular crowd and smiled with a blushing face, "I'm sorry, there is no more. Tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon, I will We still sell at this point."

Geng Erfeng, who barely squeezed out the words, immediately lowered his head and pretended to pack his things, and glanced helplessly at Geng Erfeng. Tao Wei could only hope for Wan Yonggui. Courage stepped forward to show a simple and honest smile and said sorry with a smile, while emphasizing the nonsense that everyone will be satisfied tomorrow.

Finally, all the disappointed crowd were sent away, and several people packed up quickly. Seeing the family packing up and preparing to leave, Zhao Laonian hurriedly put a few sweet potatoes on the paper, "Big brother, I will put the place first tomorrow." Take advantage of it for you."

While talking, Zhao Laotian, who gave Wanerlu the sweet potato, smiled and made Wanerlu thankful and embarrassed to take the sweet potato again. The two brothers pushed and shoved each other for a long time before Wanerlu took Zhao The sweet potatoes that Lao Nian handed over.

After loading the car, he waved to Zhao Laonian, who was going to sell it for a while, and Wan Yonggui, who was pulling the carriage, walked out of West Street slowly with a car full of young and old.
