I became an internet celebrity by running a grocery store

The two returned to the base, and Ji Niu distributed the soap he bought to everyone.In order not to expose himself, Ji Niu took the cheapest one.There is no packaging at all, it is simply sealed in plastic.But anyway, they are all brand new, better than picking up other people's leftovers outside.

Followed by Zhuang Qing's rose-flavored soap, the little girl danced happily, grabbed Ji Niu and called brother, which was more affectionate than calling Zhuang Yu.When it was Zhuang Yu's turn, Ji Niu was horrified to find that he had forgotten to prepare something for him.

Seeing Zhuang Yu looking at him with a rare smile on his face, Ji Niu was very embarrassed.

"This...Zhuang Yu." He stammered.

"You won't forget to prepare it for my brother, right?" Seeing that his expression was not quite right, Zhuang Qing came up to him cheaply and said with a smile.

The smile on Zhuang Yu's face disappeared in an instant, and Ji Niu shook his body directly, and embarrassing cold sweat almost broke out from his forehead.

"How... how is it possible, what I prepared for Zhuang Yu is different from what you have prepared."

"What is it, let me see." Zhuang Qing said excitedly.

Ji Niu cleared his throat, "I won't show it to you, I'm afraid you will say I'm biased."

After speaking, he dragged Zhuang Yu out of the room, avoiding everyone's sight and going to the back of the house.

"Zhuang Yu, that..."

Zhuang Yu stared at him with a smile in his rare eyes, and Ji Niu suddenly felt that Zhuang Yu looked pretty like this.His facial features are relatively cold, and he doesn't like to laugh. There is a sharp aura all over his body, as if he will draw out a dagger to finish you at any time.

But now Zhuang Yu seemed to have been hit with a layer of soft light.Those sharp eyes were also moistened at this moment, and the ferocity and toughness in the weekdays were gone.As a result, Ji Niu's words "Actually, I forgot to prepare them for you" stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out no matter how he tried.

He sighed, resigned to his fate, took out an object from the space, and stuffed it into Zhuang Yu's hand without looking at it.

It was a box of chocolates, Ji Niu was a little hypoglycemic, and always had something sweet in his pocket for emergencies.He loved this chocolate very much before the end of the world, unlike other chocolates that taste sweet and greasy.This one is a bit bitter, but after chewing for a while, there is a hint of sweetness lingering on the tip of the tongue.Even if you are greedy and eat a few more, you will not feel greasy at all, and the mellow fragrance is intoxicating.

Ji Niu liked it very much, so he bought a few more boxes this time.He didn't feel bad when he just gave Zhuang Yu a box, he was reluctant to give it to him because everything else was the same.

But in Zhuang Yu's view, Ji Niu's behavior is a bit shy, like a little girl who sends a love letter to someone she likes.

He didn't know why he took the chocolate from Ji Niu, he didn't understand why he gave this to himself, and he had to pull him out alone to give it.

When he looked up again, Ji Niu ran away early and disappeared.

Seeing that Ji Niu was gone, Zhuang Qing jumped out, and Thief looked at her brother, "Brother, what did Brother Ji Niu give you, and I have to drag you out alone to give it to you."

She lowered her head and caught a glimpse of the golden box in Zhuang Yu's hand, "Heart Chocolate, how does he know you like this brand?"

Zhuang Qing was slightly surprised, waiting for his brother's answer.

How did Zhuang Yu know, he looked at her with the same surprised eyes, "You didn't tell him?"

Zhuang Qing shook her head, she told Ji Niu what to do.But she didn't think too much about it, she took the chocolate apart, broke a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

"It's delicious, and he has a lot of heart." Zhuang Qing suddenly thought of something and chuckled, "He won't like you!"

Zhuang Yu blushed, and the image of Ji Niu anxiously looking for him just now popped up in his mind.Like a headless fly, he was flustered and worried, which made his heart inexplicably warm.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you can't stop your mouth even if you eat it." He scolded Zhuang Qing in a low voice, and walked out with a straight face.After turning around, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised uncontrollably, and the fingers holding the chocolate were bit by bit briskly.

The next day Xia Songfeng really brought back a big fish, it was a silver carp, which weighed a lot.

"How about it? It's big enough. I've got someone to clean it up, and it can be stewed after washing."

Zhang Xiaobei happily took the fish, but Xia Songfeng was so careful that he ordered the fish to be cleaned up.If asked to kill fish, he would not dare.

"Okay, then what do you want to eat."

"I don't know, how to eat how delicious."

Zhang Xiaobei pondered for a while, "It's better to eat chopped pepper fish hot pot. I just made a bottle of chopped pepper a few days ago. It's fresh and spicy. The stewed fish must be delicious."

Xia Songfeng immediately agreed.

At noon that day, Zhang Xiaobei closed the canteen ahead of time, and when he returned to the kitchen, he started preparing hot pot with chopped pepper fish.

Before packing up the fish, Zhang Xiaobei kneaded some noodles with the noodle mixer.He forgot to prepare the staple food when he ate oden last time, so he must not forget this time.After the noodles were reconciled, Zhang Xiaobei took out the dough and put it aside to let it ferment for a while.

Only then did I take out the fish, break it open from the middle, rub some oyster sauce on the inside and outside and marinate for a while, the fish will be fresher.Then add cooking wine, a little salt.He went to Liu Bing's place to get some vegetables, including potatoes and celery, and he was going to put them into the pot as side dishes later, and asked Liu Bing to eat them together by the way.

I went back to the yard with fresh vegetables, and the dough was fermented.Zhang Xiaobei took out the chopping board, brushed a layer of oil on it, placed the dough and cut it into strips, then brushed a layer of oil on the surface, put it aside and covered it with plastic wrap.

Just as he was about to cut vegetables, he heard shouts from outside the door.

"Sell tofu, fresh tofu."

Zhang Xiaobei hurriedly wiped his hands and went out, "Master, I want some tofu."

"Young man, how many catties of tofu do you want?" The peddler drove an electric tricycle and parked in front of him. After getting out of the car, he lifted the white cloth from the tofu, pulled off a plastic bag and asked him with a smile on his face, "I make all the tofu from home." It is ground, thin and tender, absolutely delicious, making you want to eat the second time after eating it the first time.”

Zhang Xiaobei laughed at what he said, and pointed to the biggest piece on the chopping board, "Give me this piece, and the bean curd skin, also two catties."

The tofu seller set up a stall in the town's market every day, and sometimes at noon he saw that there were no more to sell, so he began to ride three rounds around the villages.Coincidentally, I met him today, so I need more, and I can put it in the refrigerator if I can't finish it.

"Hey." The peddler agreed, seeing him much more, and even gave him a change.Before Zhang Xiaobei had finished finding the money, another tofu buyer joined in, and the peddler stopped at his door and started selling.

Zhang Xiaobei carried the tofu into the yard, washed it briefly with water, and then cut it into large pieces.Because it was tender tofu, Zhang Xiaobei was afraid of cutting it too small, so he put it in the pot and stewed it.

He cut the tofu skin into diamond shapes and put it aside, then cut the celery into sections, carrots and potatoes into slices.

At this time, the fish was almost marinated. He heated up the pan, poured in a little oil, put the fish in and fried it until both sides were slightly yellow.The fish skin becomes firm after high temperature, tightly wrapping the fresh and tender fish meat.There will be cooking later, Zhang Xiaobei didn't fry for a long time, when Wei Wei could smell a little fishy smell, he quickly turned off the fire.

He took out another large pot, let the side dishes prepared in advance lie on the bottom of the pot, put the fried fish on top, took out the dark red chopped peppers and spread them evenly on the fish.

Fearing that the fish would be too spicy, Zhang Xiaobei didn't dare to add more chopped peppers.But if it is placed too little, it will look unattractive on top of the fish.So he went to pick some non-spicy red peppers, cut them into small pieces, and sprinkled them with chopped peppers.

The bright red, spicy and delicious fish is very beautiful with the emerald green side dishes below.

Zhang Xiaobei brought the pot into the room, poured some boiling water into it, and put an induction cooker under it.Just wait for people to come and turn on the fire, and it will be ready to eat after a short stew.

He picked up his mobile phone and sent text messages to Xia Songfeng and Liu Bing, and he received replies from both of them in a short while, saying they would come right away.Zhang Xiaobei turned on a small fire and let the fish simmer slowly in the pot.

"Xiao Bei." It was Liu Bing, who came with a bag of persimmons in his hand, "The persimmon trees in my yard are fruiting. I'll bring you some. It's still hard. Put it together with apples and bananas to accelerate the ripening. "

Zhang Xiaobei took the persimmons, and seeing the bright red ones looked very gratifying.

"Thank you Brother Liu Bing, how long does it take to eat this?"

"It's fine if it's soft, don't ripen it all at once, it will spoil if you don't finish it."

This Zhang Xiaobei is not worried, "It's okay, if you can't finish eating, you can make persimmon cakes."

"Persimmon cake, you can also make persimmon cake."

"No, but you can learn."

Speaking of persimmon cakes, Zhang Xiaobei thought of sweet potato cakes, which were also delicious.When winter comes, besides selling roasted sweet potatoes, the business on the street is the best, followed by fried persimmon cakes and sweet potato cakes.

There is a morning market near Zhang Xiaobei's company, and there is a time-honored store that specializes in these two things, fried sugar cakes and fried glutinous rice balls, and sells them all morning.Every morning, the door of the store is full of people, and he doesn't even squeeze in.Once he was so greedy that he couldn't do it anymore, so he got up early in the morning to queue up, but the boss hadn't opened the door yet.

He waited in the cold wind for an hour, and then he looked forward to the sleepy boss.

Perhaps he was moved by his sincerity, and the boss even gave him an extra share.

The smell really didn't disappoint him.Persimmon cakes are rich in oil but sweet but not greasy, with a dense texture, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.

"When the persimmons are ripe, I'll try to fry some persimmon cakes for you to try."

Liu Bing agreed without hesitation, and Xia Songfeng walked in while the two were talking.The three of them sat around the small table together and started directly.

The fish is fully cooked, and the spicy taste of chopped peppers has also penetrated into it, and some of them are floating in the soup, making the soup base look white and red, very attractive.

Zhang Xiaobei picked up a piece of chopsticks and tasted the saltiness first, only to be coughed lightly by the hotness.Xia Songfeng picked up the mineral water on the side and twisted it to his mouth. Zhang Xiaobei was coughing uncomfortably, so he drank from Xia Songfeng's hand without thinking too much.

"It's so spicy, I obviously only put a little chopped pepper."

Xia Songfeng laughed, "I didn't expect that there would be a day when you would be so hot, I'll try it."

After speaking, he stuffed a large piece of fish into his mouth, and stuck his tongue out like a puppy without chewing twice.

"It's really spicy, how much chopped pepper did you put in?"

Zhang Xiaobei teased him on purpose, "I've finished one bottle, it'll kill you."

He used his chopsticks to push away the bright red chopped peppers on the fish, and tasted it again now without the throat-piercing spicy feeling before.

"It's much better now, try it again."

As soon as Xia Songfeng set up his chopsticks, there was a knock on the door.

Zhuang Yu: He worried about me and even gave me chocolates, he likes me!

Ji Niu: ...
