I took a taxi and quickly arrived at the door of my hotel. The three characters "Anhui Cuisine Restaurant" were clearly written on the door.

When I walked in, I saw the back of a middle-aged woman in a skirt. The fat on her waist swayed as she walked. Her hair was permed like instant noodles and hung loosely on her shoulders. Her half-high high heels made a clicking sound as she walked.

One look at the figure and he knew it was his mother, Hu Xiurong.

"Mom." Liu Chen hugged her from behind.

Liu Chen hasn't seen his mother for more than a month. In the past, it was nothing if he didn't see her for several months. Since arriving in 1979, after spending more than ten days there, he missed his mother so much that he once worried that he would never come back.

, at this time he acted like a child.

Hu Xiurong, who was hugged by Liu Chen, was startled. He smiled and patted Liu Chen's hand and said, "Where have you been during this time? I didn't answer my phone calls."

He let go of his mother's hand and turned around. He saw a few more wrinkles on his mother's face, and the crow's feet had deepened. Her dyed yellow hair was also a lot whiter.

Looking at her son, she couldn't remember how long it had been since her son acted coquettishly with her like this. It wasn't until he went to school that his son became rebellious. Her relationship with her son was not very good. The more she asked her son to do something, the son would always contradict him.

.

Looking at my son's face, I don't know when he became so tanned and lost a lot of weight. However, he has become stronger and seems to have grown taller. The most important thing is that he is close to me.

"Hey, I got it from fishing."

Liu Chen looked at what his mother wanted to say and quickly made up a reason.

My son likes fishing, but I can’t control him. The fishing tools alone cost tens of thousands of yuan. I don’t give any money from work to the family, and I don’t know why it’s all spent.

I have no choice but to have this son. I have held him in my mouth since I was a child for fear of melting, and held him in my hands for fear of flying away. He was spoiled and pampered, and has never experienced any hardship. Even now, he still doesn’t know how hard and difficult life is. This has led to what he is now.

Mother and son are not on good terms with each other, and they blush every time they meet.

I haven’t seen him for more than a month, and suddenly I feel that my son has matured a lot. Although he is thinner and darker, he is healthier.

"Mom, look at the tortoise I caught and this season fish. These are all wild."

Hu Xiurong looked at such a big tortoise and Jihuayu, and he had been running a restaurant for decades. Looking at the color and appearance, he knew at a glance that it was wild. If this was made into a dish, it would be worth a thousand bucks at least.

dollars.

In the past few years, the environment has been bad, business has been bad, and I couldn't even afford the rent for a time. When my son was getting married, I bought a wedding house and completed the decoration. I didn't have much left.

"Chenzi, you can run away during this time..."

Just when he was about to ask where Liu Chen had been recently, he saw Chen's mother beside him. The sensible Wang Ruoji quickly closed his mouth and looked at Liu Chen with a wicked smile.

"Daji, come quickly and take a look at the tortoise and season fish I caught. They are pure wild ones."

Looking at the big tortoise and season fish in Liu Chen's hand, Wang Ruoji didn't understand much. He knew that the wild ones were naturally delicious and had much higher nutritional value. Nowadays, they are all farmed, and there are too few wild ones.

"You must be wild."

"It's necessary, and it will be replaced if it's fake."

Wang Ruoji quickly called his third uncle. His third uncle likes to eat these wild things the most. He likes to eat all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and shrimp as long as they are wild. His third uncle took him to the farmhouse to eat several times, but he always

It doesn't feel like the authentic wild one.

It was half past twelve o'clock, but there were still very few people coming to eat. If this continues, it will definitely close down. Chen's mother's face showed helplessness.

My parents have been running a restaurant for more than ten years, and the land at home has been leased out. What should my parents do if the restaurant business fails?

Liu Chen thought.

This hotel is located in a remote location, and many people are recommended here by acquaintances. It is really difficult for ordinary people to find it.

After a while, a car stopped in front of the hotel, and five or six people got out of the car. The one walking in the front was Wang Ruoji's third uncle, Wang Hongqing.

Wang Hongqing is a contractor and often comes to this restaurant to eat with a few friends. He feels that the Anhui cuisine cooked here tastes very authentic. He often brings his friends here for a few bites.

"Daji, where are the wild season fish and tortoise you mentioned? The man behind me is the developer Boss Zhang. He is a real master. Can't you make me lose face?"

"Third uncle, don't worry."

Wang Ruoji led everyone to the place where the tortoise and Jihuayu had been put.

Several people gathered around the developer Zhang Dakun and Boss Zhang whom Wang Hongqing mentioned just now.

Liu Chen quickly went up and introduced: "Third uncle, take a look and see if it's wild."

Liu Chen pointed at the Jihuayu and the big tortoise in the water tank and said.

"Good stuff, this is really good stuff."

When he saw what was in the water tank, Boss Zhang clapped his hands and applauded.

In fact, Wang Hongqing doesn't know if he is really wild. The purpose of his coming is to build relationships and enhance feelings. Who knows that the developer, Boss Zhang, likes this? It's just like him.

Boss Zhang approached the water tank and said: "Look, the farmed fish are generally fat and strong, with dark colors, while the wild ones are thin and small, with bright colors. And this tortoise, the wild ones are strong, with tight muscles and short skirts."

The edges are thick and the back is flat and shiny. The colors are mostly gray-black and khaki. The farmed ones have short paws, whitish color, rough back and lack of luster, and are often black with green in color. The body is bloated and clumsy."

Everyone listened intently to Boss Zhang’s popular science knowledge.

"Well, Chenzi, I've arranged this fish. If you can't finish it, leave it to me. And this bastard, you can watch the soup stew."

Listening to Boss Zhang's praise of Ji Huayu and Bastard, Wang Hongqing said with a smile.

As the saying goes, "The hands that take people are short, and the mouth that eats them is short." If this boss is good at this, the next thing will be easy to handle.

We ordered some more hairy tofu, Fuliji roasted chicken, Hu's first-class hotpot and some side dishes, about ten dishes, and several people were led into the private room.

Liu Chen and Wang Ruoji also simply cooked some side dishes and started eating them.

After drinking and eating, Wang Hongqing was so drunk that he pulled his nephew Wang Ruoji aside and muttered something. After that, he walked into the box again, and the group of people ate and drove away.

Soon, Wang Ruoji walked up to Liu Chen and said with a smile: "Just now my uncle said that if he asks you to get a few more fish and tortoises, he is going to give them away."

As he said that, he put a wad of money on the table. This was a whole wad, which was 10,000 yuan.

Liu Chen's eyes widened. This was too much. Besides, it was wild, so it wasn't that easy to handle.

Seeing Liu Chen's embarrassed look, Wang Ruoji patted him on the shoulder and said, "Plus today's meal money."

Liu Chen pushed the money to Wang Ruoji again. The two of them pushed me and I gave in. In the end, Liu Chen could only bite the bullet and take the money.

In fact, Liu Chen was also happy in his heart. 1979 was not all bad. At least the fish and the tortoise were valuable.

Liu Chen also thought about the cucumbers and tomatoes he ate, which were pesticide-free and tasted good. They were all organic vegetables. The chickens, ducks and geese he raised at home were all eaten from insects in the mountains.

It looks and tastes great. Liu Chen laughed as he thought about it.

These are all money. Liu Chen thought to himself, no one was fishing in the Huaihe River at that time. There were a lot of fish, shrimps, crabs and mussels in it. If you catch fish casually, you will have money to spend if you catch a few tortoises. If you can still go back,

Okay, I will definitely try to go back when I have time and catch fish and catch the bastard.

I thought to myself and laughed involuntarily.

"Why are you laughing?" Wang Ruoji patted Liu Chen on the shoulder and said.

Liu Chen finally came to his senses, shook his head and said it was nothing.

"Daji, I want to quit my job and run a restaurant with my parents."

Seeing that Liu Chen really planned to resign, he had spent several years in college just for this job, so how could he resign just because he said he was resigning?

"Chenzi, don't be impulsive. It's better to think about it carefully. It's so difficult to find a job now."

He thought that Liu Chen had a hot head. Although he was not very active at work and had always been a salted fish, he would not resign. Besides, in this Hui cuisine restaurant, there were not many people eating all day, and he looked like he was going to die.

What is the business?

Liu Chen was determined. He knew well that his parents were old and he must take good care of the family. This Hui cuisine restaurant was the hard work of his parents for more than ten years and could not be knocked down like this.
