Oops!The boss checks my leveling situation!

CEO: "Okay, let's go for a walk. I don't know what I want to eat today."

Xiao Meng took the canvas bag, and the president saw the trademark on it sharply: "This belongs to my family."

After he finished speaking, he realized that he shouldn't have said that, and he was still a little nervous. Xiaomeng said "Oh": "It seems that a real estate project was opened for activities. I forced it to me when I passed by. The quality is quite good."

President: "Well, the manufacturers we cooperate with are very reliable."

Xiao Meng: "Then let's go."

The two of them went out to the vegetable market, and the president followed all the way, looking up at the small corner of the city, feeling a little strange.

27. Everything about you is stardust

The two of them walked through two alleys, and the president looked up at the carrier pigeons passing by in the sky. Each carrier pigeon folded its wings in front of the square cage and hid in it obediently.

The weather was fine, and many people's clothes were hung on the wires connecting the windows to the utility poles. Wooden iron wires and plastic hangers crossed to form barriers, and there was a smell of washing powder in the air.

As meal time approached, mothers in aprons with loud voices lifted the ears of children who were addicted to games, urging them to buy a bottle of soy sauce or oyster sauce, otherwise the river prawns at noon would not explode in the pot and could only be boiled.

The president dodged a hen that tried to peck his shoelaces, stepped carefully on the rocks in the puddle, and couldn't help thinking that he was playing a live-action Mario, avoiding the life of this city.

"The food in the vegetable market has a strong smell," Xiaomeng worried that he would smell the fishy smell later, "we'll go buy some disposable masks later."

The president nodded heavily: "I'm a little sick to my stomach now."

Xiao Meng smiled, took him around the corner, first went to the small pharmacy at the entrance of the vegetable market, bought a disposable mask, and bought a small bottle of essential oil, dripped it on the mask, and handed it to the president: "Put it on. , the smell is too strong and you shouldn’t be able to smell it.”

The president took it and put it on neatly: "What about you?"

Xiao Meng tightened the bottle cap of Fengyoujing, shaking his head: "I'm used to it, if I wear it, people will think I have a cold."

The president was expressionless: "So in the eyes of others, I have a cold now?"

Xiao Meng nodded: "You can try again, lower your voice."

After finishing the mask, the president looked forward to seeing the ingredients that he sacrificed to metabolism every day.Although he had just stepped into the vegetable market, he was shocked by the pork stall in front of him and was speechless.

Xiao Meng tugged at his sleeve: "Do you want pork?"

The president was about to cry: "You can buy it, I can do it."

He just watched the pork stall owner use a kitchen knife bigger than his face, and with a few bangs, an arm-long rib was cut into pieces and put into two plastic bags. I gave him a piece of 50, and returned with some change: "I'll make you sweet and sour pork ribs later."

The president covered his face: "Why is there a bloody smell? When I was studying, I went to buy meat and it didn't taste good!"

Xiao Meng took him away from the pork stall: "Good pork has a slight meaty and fishy smell, maybe you are more sensitive, boss. I often buy their meat, and the stir-fried vegetables and dumplings are quite delicious. of."

The president's expression was very complicated: "Isn't it good to be sensitive when co-authoring?"

Xiao Meng: "Occasionally it's hard to get better pig's blood. I told the butcher to save some for me after two days. Then I go to buy some food. You can see what you want."

The CEO avoids stepping on dirty things, and walks into the vegetable section very curiously: "I want to eat that yellow one, what is that?"

Xiao Meng followed his gaze: "Oh, that's bean curd, it's better to put it in hot pot, it's a bit troublesome to cook alone, it's too oily."

CEO: "Is it possible that there are already oily dishes? Do you want to make them without oil?"

Xiao Meng nodded: "Well, look at other things, radishes, lotus root, potatoes, etc., the big deal is stewing soup with pork ribs."

The president remembered the pork ribs and potatoes from last time: "Then let's buy lotus root, I want stewed pork ribs with lotus root."

Xiao Meng went over to touch a section of lotus root: "For lotus root... it's a pity to stew pork ribs. Let me make you a little stir-fry. Stir-fried pork ribs with lotus root, and you can look at a vegetarian dish."

The president nodded frantically: "okok, can the bean curd be fried with celery? I really want to eat bean curd."

Xiao Meng covered her face: "Do you like eating celery so much..."

The CEO with his hips on his hips: "That's right! I just like to eat celery!"

Xiao Meng sighed: "Okay, then there are two dishes, stir-fried pork ribs with lotus root, and fried bean curd with celery. Let's see if you want soup? If we don't want soup, we'll go back."

The CEO looked left and right, and saw something like meatballs on a booth in the distance: "What is that?"

Xiao Meng stood on tiptoe: "Oh, hand-made fish balls, do you want it?"

The president is looking forward to it: "I want it!"

Xiao Meng grabbed some spinach: "Then fish ball and spinach soup."

After buying vegetables and fish balls, Xiao Meng also went to buy a bottle of sweet vinegar and white pepper powder, saying that fried pork ribs and lotus root are made for sweet and sour taste, and the pepper powder is poured into the fish ball soup to enhance the freshness.

The president looked at him with an admiring expression: "Did you learn from the chef when you were washing the dishes! You know a lot!"

Xiao Meng went home and poured the food into the sink and rinsed it with the faucet: "After graduating from high school, I went to the bar to serve drinks, and then the bar occasionally let me make some snacks to attract business. When I was in college, I applied for student loans, and I could apply to go to school. The cafeteria is a work-study program. In fact, the salary in the cafeteria is quite good, 13 yuan an hour, and after the meal is over, the auntie in the cafeteria will see that there are still ingredients left, and cook a dish for me. It doesn’t cost money, it counts. normal wear and tear."

The president sighed: "The auntie is very kind to you. When I was studying, my auntie's hands shook. I was still in China when I was in junior high school. I wanted a meat dish. The auntie shook and shook, and there was only a little bit of meat left. "

Xiaomeng was cutting vegetables: "Because a large plate of dishes has to be calculated for how many servings, you can't just say that auntie has more meat and give you meat, otherwise she will be scolded by her superiors, and eventually she will be transferred from this post. Occasionally It’s the kind that can give you a little more, but can’t be seen by others.”

The president lay on the dining table and looked at him: "Then you should be the kind that Auntie likes very much, Auntie won't shake her hands."

Xiao Meng smiled: "Sometimes the small fried area is too busy and asks me to cook for the aunts, so in the words of the aunts, the savings are all for myself."

The president stopped talking, and his eyes were fixed on the circle of blue flames under the gas stove, dancing in his eyes bit by bit.The mist sprayed from the rice cooker condensed on the windows, spreading like hope.

He suddenly understood why he always wanted to stay here and not leave.

He lacks a memory that belongs to home.

The president smiled, turned on his phone and asked the secretary on WeChat.

President: Xiao Wu, is there any crispy duck without fucking ass eyes?

Xiao Wu: ...

He turned off the phone, stretched his waist, put his head on it with his hands, closed his eyes and thought about the secret joy of sleeping secretly while studying.

The light at noon passes through the glass, reducing the glare by 60%. The dizzy and warm feeling is perfect for a nap. The CEO is woken up by Xiaomeng in a daze. In front of him are three dishes, sweet and sour pork ribs and fried lotus root. , Fried bean curd with celery, spinach and fish ball soup.

Xiao Meng gave him the biggest bowl in the house: "I cooked two cups of rice, boss, you watch and eat it yourself, if it's not enough, I'll give it to you."'

The president looked at the bowl that could hold his face: "I think...it should be enough."

Xiao Meng smiled: "After all, you can finish a box of my dumplings. Don't underestimate your fighting power."

The president took a deep breath: "I should have given up breakfast if I had known earlier!"

Xiao Meng: "Is it necessary?"

The president went to the kitchen to touch the chopsticks: "Before the food! It is necessary!"

Xiaomeng shrank to the side: "I don't have much desire for food, anyway, it's enough to fill my stomach."

The president gnawed on the ribs: "It's delicious! Then what are you interested in?"

Xiao Meng thought for a while: "Maybe it's the starry sky. When I was in junior high school, I stayed at school by myself and went back at night. The street lights on the road from junior high school to our courtyard were often left unrepaired, and some people connected the wires privately. Anyway, occasionally Bring a flashlight to go back. Go all the way to give yourself courage, just look at the stars. There was no pollution like this before, and there are so many stars at night in summer. I always rely on the star maps in the book to recognize them.”

The president thought for a while: "Then do you know what constellation you are from?"

Xiao Meng took a bite of his meal: "I know, when my parents threw me by the side of the road, they wrote my birthday. I'm a Libra."

The president tilted his head: "I can't feel it, doesn't it mean that Libras are very hesitant?"

Xiao Meng took a piece of lotus root: "This thing is for psychological comfort. I like Xingkong because of one sentence."

The president looked at him, and Xiao Meng swallowed: "This sentence is: everything about you is stardust. Because from the perspective of physics, the smallest unit of matter is an atom, including our body. So every part of your body An atom comes from an exploded star, and the atom in your left hand may come from a different star than the atom in your right hand. It’s really the most poetic thing in physics I know, and everything about you is stardust.”

The president was slightly stunned: "This is the most beautiful physics knowledge I have ever heard, although my physics is terrible."

Xiaomeng narrowed his eyes: "There are many types of stars, including stars, planets, comets, satellites, etc. Maybe I am a comet, destined to sweep across the world with a long tail, and then be named broom star. Halley's Comet, which has the longest time span, even comes to Earth once every 76 years."

The CEO scooped up a fish ball with a spoon: "So are you destined to miss a lot of beautiful moments?"

Xiao Meng smiled: "Yes
