I became an internet celebrity by running a grocery store

Autumn in Devon is still bleak, and the ruthless autumn wind howls and sweeps away the crumbling yellow leaves, leaving dry branches to welcome the cold winter alone.Crule rubbed his hands, his mood was as desolate as the bleak scenery.

He had just come out of a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, full of enthusiasm and anticipation, but the taste was not what he expected.In Kruley's view, that is not authentic Chinese food at all, just like General Tso's chicken sold in the streets and alleys of Devon, it is an improved version, completely losing the soul of Chinese food.

Kruley was not angry, but still very disappointed. He really wanted to get drunk and vent his anger.He came to a bar, walked in aggressively, sat on the bar counter, and drank ten bottles of beer, which made him feel better.He staggered to his feet and struggled towards the door.But now his footsteps are sloppy, and the picture in front of him begins to double, and even shakes, making it impossible to distinguish front, back, left, and right.

His hands were groping around, trying to find a place for him to lean on for a while.Seeing this, the bartender came up and helped him to the sofa, "Sir, are you okay?"

Crule, like all drunks, was quibbling stiffly. "I'm fine. I'm fine. I can drink ten more bottles."

The bartender smiled, shook his head as if he was used to seeing people like this and left.It wasn't until the bar was about to close that it occurred to me that there was another drunk who hadn't been dealt with.At this time, Kruley had fallen asleep, and the bartender patted his face, but there was no sign of waking up, so he simply let it go.

When Kruley woke up, he was embarrassed to find himself sleeping on the sofa in the bar.The absurd things of last night began to gradually emerge in his mind. This was the first time he was so drunk, curled up on the sofa in the bar like a homeless man, he got up annoyed and thanked the bartender, and then walked out while leaning on the wall .It was broad daylight at this time, and the warm sunlight shone on Kruley's face, making him a little more awake.He rubbed his splitting headache and hungry stomach, and prepared to find a place to eat something to soothe his empty stomach.

He walked in the direction of the house, there was a delicious and cheap hot dog downstairs, enough for him to wrap his belly.

He walked staggeringly, turned a corner, and suddenly smelled a very strange smell.He couldn't tell, like someone was cooking seafood.No, it seems to be fish, but it has a very delicious taste anyway.There is also a spicy smell in it, which makes people want to move, and Crule subconsciously followed this smell to a small shop.

The strange thing is that this street is obviously very prosperous, but there is no customer in this store, only a black cat nests on the counter, and ignores him when he sees it, licking its fur.

Kruley walked in curiously, and was surprised to find that the products on the shelves were all in Chinese.If you want to ask how Cruleet can understand it, it is thanks to his nanny, Aunt Li, who was raised by Cruleet since he was a child.

She is a pure Chinese, and she traveled across the ocean with her husband to work in remote North America, and was hired by Kruley's father to take care of him.Crule's mother passed away when he was very young, and his father was too busy with work to take care of him.The reason for hiring Aunt Li is very simple, because she is the cheapest and illegally smuggled here.

She took good care of Kruley as if she were her own son, filling the void in his childhood mother role.

Kruller loved the way she was cooking for herself, wearing a little floral lace apron, the sun was slanting on her, everything was so beautiful.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, because Aunt Li and his husband left him when he was 15 years old and returned to the motherland because of being reported.Crule was half happy and half bitter, and the seeds of his longing for China were planted at that time.

Excitedly, he turned around the store and found that the scent he just smelled came from a steaming thing on the cash register.

Crule took a closer look and saw that there were various dishes inside, separated by grids, very neat.Next to it is a stack of paper cups and picks, a colander, and a small board with the price on it.Crule took a paper cup and began to choose his favorite dishes, and of course he silently calculated the price in his heart.He is not someone who would cheat while the boss is gone, he has his beliefs, if that happens, God will not forgive him.

After filling a paper cup, Crule began to taste.Sure enough, as he imagined, the mouth is full of delicious flavor, and every ingredient is full of soup.But because the taste of the soup is very light, it does not cover the sweetness of the ingredients themselves. The two flavors are well blended and complement each other.

After tasting a paper cup, Kruley drank up even the pale soup.The warm soup passed through his mouth and throat, warming his chest.The tingling pain in the temples caused by the hangover and the intestines that have been entangled with hunger all morning are all lazily stretched out at this moment, making people extremely comfortable.

Crule was not satisfied with this, and set his sights on another plate of steaming things.Compared with this one that slowly enters the nose, it has a subtle and silent aroma that moistens things.On the other plate, no matter whether it is the hot soup that makes the mouth water unconsciously, or it is full of aggressiveness, as if it is provocative, and the peppers and peppers floating on the top make people retreat unconsciously.

But Kruley is not. He has the temperament of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, but he is walking towards the tigers.It was the same paper cup, and he picked it up again.Just now he chose all his favorite ingredients, this time he wanted to try something different.

For example, there are triangular white things floating on it, and dark brown cylindrical ones, white, earthy, and pink balls, all kinds of strange things.Crule scooped them all into bowls and tasted them all.After one bite, he finally knew where the seafood smell came from.These strange gadgets are all made of seafood.There are fresh shrimp and fish flavors, as well as beef and crab, each of which is delicious and juicy, tender and refreshing, and makes Krulier endless aftertaste.

The chili in it is really not a bluff, I just ate a little, and Kruley's lips were swollen, and he was sweating all over his body. He took a cool breath while eating, so as to relieve the burning sensation in his mouth.But it didn't help at all, Kruley had to put down the delicious food and search for something that could relieve the spicy food in the store.

He found a glass cabinet full of various drinks, and the drinking water was placed at the bottom.Crule just wanted to reach for it, but was caught by the milk beer can in the middle.

Milk, beer, he drank both of these, but only blended them together.Kruley couldn't believe it, what kind of taste did this have, he suddenly became curious.

He held the bottle and prepared to look at it for a while, but the scorching heat in his mouth couldn't wait for anyone. It didn't give Kruley any time to think, and urged him to pull off the lid and pour his head back.

As soon as the drink was in his mouth, Kruley frowned.He felt that this bottle of milk beer seemed to contain not only milk, but also cola, a taste of carbonated drinks, which was very wonderful, and the three flavors blended together, which was natural.Without the dry bitterness of beer, there is more mellowness and sweetness of milk, and the taste becomes refreshing and cold because of the addition of carbonic acid.

After drinking one bottle, Kruley felt that the burning sensation in his mouth had subsided a lot. He greedily took another can, and ran to the front to take a sip of the drink and eat it deliciously.

The sun casts into the house through the mottled glass windows, forming a light path on the ground.Crule rubbed his stiff neck and stood up to enjoy his lunch.The wonderful convenience store yesterday brought him many surprises, which made him reluctant to leave.Before leaving, he bought a lot of good things for lunch today.

Andrew suddenly jumped on his back from behind, "Hey brother, what are you going to eat later. The burger at the door is good, do you want to try it together?" Andrew shook his head, the invitation was obvious.

Kruller took his arm off his shoulder, smiling and refusing.

"No, Andrew, I brought food today."

"Bring a meal?" Andrew pushed him, "Don't be kidding, Kruley, a bachelor like us, what to bring if you don't go out to eat."

"The ones outside are not as delicious as the ones I brought."

Andrew tilted his head and looked at him teasingly. "Why, my girlfriend did it."

Crule shook his head, "No, it's delicious Chinese food."

"Oh, Crule, why are you so keen on Chinese food."

"Because it's delicious, try it if you don't believe me."

Andrew is a little lacking in interest, he has no interest in Chinese food.In comparison, he prefers French fries and burgers to all kinds of weird stir-fried dishes and noodles in China.

Crule was keenly aware of his loss of interest, and felt slightly disappointed.In his opinion, Chinese cuisine is the most delicious cuisine in the world, but the people around him don't think so, they don't know how to appreciate it at all.Such a situation made Kruley feel that he had nowhere to find a bosom friend. He shrugged, looked at Andrew and said, "Since you are not interested, then I will go first."

Crule came to the pantry with a lunch box, where there is a microwave oven equipped by the company.He put the lunch box in, and then took out another box from his bag.According to the instructions on the back, take out the heating pad at the bottom, then open the rice bag and side dishes, pour them into a bowl, and close the lid.

After a while, puffs of steam rose from the side of the bowl, and when Andrew came back, he saw such a scene.He walked towards Kruley in a panic, "What's the matter, your food is on fire."

Crule laughed, Andrew looked at him strangely, put down the hamburger in his hand, and frantically searched for water around.Crule pulled him to sit down, "It's okay, I'm heating up the meal."

Andrew looked at him, and then at the lunch box on the table emitting bursts of white smoke, "Hot rice, why is it so hot?"

"There is a self-heating bag underneath." Kruley raised his hand to check the time, opened the lid, and a white mist rose up, covering the eyes of the two of them.The smell of rice also came out and slipped into the nostrils of the two of them.Andrew took a deep breath, a little obsessed with it.When the smoke dissipated, the eyes gradually became clear.He took a closer look and saw that there were not only rice, but also meat dishes, which were very rich.he asked Crowley.

"What kind of Chinese food is this? It's really delicious."

"Tomato Stewed Beef Brisket."

Andrew swallowed quietly, scratched his hands on the table twice, and looked at Kruley enviously.

"Can I have a taste? I'll trade you a hamburger and fries."

"Of course, we can taste it together." Crule is willing to share delicious food with him, especially his favorite Chinese flavor. He believes that Andrew will fall in love with it deeply after tasting it.

He scooped some rice and tomato brisket on the lid and handed it to Andrew, asking Andrew to follow his example and stir them together, so that the monotonous rice would also become moist and delicious.

Before Crule continued to introduce this dish to him, Andrew couldn't wait to eat it.The taste is sweet and sour, the slightly dry rice is wrapped in thick tomato soup and becomes soft, and the beef is firm, tender and soft.

After one bite, he threw all the hamburgers and fries aside.

Seeing that he liked it, Kruley pushed all kinds of meatballs towards him and invited him to try them too.Andrew was not polite at all, and ate it with big mouthfuls. This meal completely changed his view of Chinese food. He asked Crule, "Which restaurant is this?"

"The small shop downstairs from my house."

Andrew lived just two streets in front of Crule, and the two families were not far from each other, but why didn't he remember that there was a small shop on that street.Crule saw his doubts. In fact, to be honest, he passed by that street every day, and he never noticed when such a small shop opened there.It's as if it came out of nowhere, but isn't this a magical world, Harry Potter's magical campus?Crule thought wildly.

"Kruley, take me to see after get off work."

Crule nodded and agreed without thinking.

The author has something to say:

Let's just say, the tomato brisket is absolutely amazing.The milk beer is also good, but the taste is a little too sweet. I don’t know if it’s the problem with the bottle I bought. Which milk beer tastes better?
