Just when Shen Rui and Shou Ge were still hesitating, Gao Wenhu was already eating Yu Huo from the soup bowl with chopsticks.
The black belly, red sheep lungs, sauce-colored sheep liver, and white-oiled sheep intestines, coupled with the tantalizing fishy smell, made Shen Rui's heart churn.
As the son of a butcher, he shouldn't be greedy for meat, but Gao Wenhu was. Just now, Gao Wenhu also had patches on her clothes, which shows that the family's financial situation is really difficult.
Judging from what he just said, it seems that he borrowed foreign debts when he was treating the elderly or sending them home in the early years, and they have not yet paid off the debt.
It was rare that under such circumstances, Gao Wenhu had the kindness to take care of the "little beggar". Although he didn't know why, it was obviously a good relationship.
The human sperm who came out of the palace are full of inner thoughts, and their eyes are guarded when they look at people. Only Gao Wenhu's honest and honest temper can make people let down their guard.
Brother Shou noticed that Shen Rui was looking at him, raised his head and raised his eyebrows, but his hands were not idle, and he watched as he moved the soup bowl to the table.
It could be seen that he couldn't use this soup, and he couldn't speak directly, so he thought of a "roundabout way".
Shen Rui looked at it and found it funny, but he couldn't watch Brother Shou actually throw the bowl of soup to the ground. Everyone was sitting at the Eight Immortals table, the soup was splashing everywhere, and it might "disaster the fish in the pond".
So, Shen Rui raised his voice and called the waiter over, saying: "Second brother, can you help me borrow a soup can and food box? I want to take the mutton soup home."
The waiter hesitated and said: "There is a porcelain pot for soup. It's just for the shopkeeper's own use..."
Shen Rui took out half a handful of money from his purse and stuffed it into his small hand. Because there was a table as a shield, no one saw it.
The waiter pulled up his sleeves and his face immediately became warm: "But now that I have spoken, I will discuss it with the shopkeeper..."
Shen Rui's "magic touch" made Brother Shou stop and look at Shen Rui thoughtfully.
Gao Wenhu also put down the soup bowl, and then realized that Shen Rui and Brother Shou hadn't taken a sip: "Brother Shen, Brother Shou, why don't you drink the soup?"
Brother Shou didn't answer, just looked at Shen Rui.
Shen Rui smiled shyly and said: "Now that the solar terms are changing, my mother has a bad appetite. When I saw this good thing, I wanted to take it home and let my mother have a try..."
Hearing this, Gao Wenhu saw half a bowl of mutton soup in front of him. He couldn't help but blush, and whispered: "Brother Shen is so kind and thoughtful. I'm a bastard. I don't care if I have something delicious."
Thinking of my father and mother
Brother Shou blinked and quickly pushed the soup bowl towards Gao Wenhu, saying: "We are all young, so we should honor our elders first by eating such delicious food. Brother Gao, this place is not far from the entrance of the alley, hurry up and take advantage of it."
When it's hot, take this bowl of mutton soup to your aunt's house..."
Gao Wenhu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, that's what I treated you to, how can you take it home?"
Brother Shou touched his belly and said, "I just had egg tea and four snacks. How could I eat such a bowl of mutton soup? Brother Gao should give it to aunt...I...I'll drink what's left from brother Gao."
Half a bowl..."
Gao Wenhu still refused, so Brother Shou had no choice but to bite his back molars and wink at Shen Rui.
Shen Rui didn't want to watch the show anymore, so he persuaded: "I just heard my aunt coughing several times, as if she had a spring cough. Sheep soup can moisturize the lungs, and aunt can use it to replenish her health... Wen Hu will follow Brother Shou's advice."
, if you don’t respond, he will feel uneasy and may be embarrassed to eat from you in the future..."
Brother Shou was standing nearby, nodding his head like a chicken.
Gao Wenhu hesitated for a moment: "Then...then I will send it to mother?"
Brother Shou quickly said: "Go quickly, go quickly, the soup will become cold and won't taste good after a while..."
Gao Wenhu stood up and strode out of the soup shop with Brother Shou's untouched bowl of soup.
At this moment, the waiter brought a porcelain jar over and said, "Brother, do you think you can use this to put it in?"
There is no organ dish in the Shen family's recipe book. I don't think the eldest master and the Xu family know how to eat it. Shen Rui doesn't want to really just pack a can of haggis soup and go home. He happened to see the cold dishes in front of the guests on the table next to him and said:
"How do you sell the sheep head meat here?"
"Twenty cents a plate," said the waiter.
Shen Rui said: "Pack it up with two kilograms and take it away later..."
The waiter was a little confused after hearing this: "Didn't I just want to fill the soup?"
Shen Rui said: "I want both..." After that, he took out a piece of silver from his purse and handed it to the waiter.
The waiter took the money and left with a smile on his face.
Brother Shou raised the corner of his mouth and said, "You are filial,?"
Shen Rui didn't suggest that Brother Shou also buy some mutton head meat for takeout. It's hard to get outside food in the palace. He just violated the taboo. He pointed at the half bowl of sheep soup and said: "Brother Shou, drink the soup quickly."
Come on, drink it while it's hot
Brother Shou's eyebrows immediately stood up. He looked at the half bowl of soup as if he were an enemy. When he turned to Shen Rui, his face showed a bit of anger: "It's better to be alone than to be happy together. How can I eat alone? Brother Shen is the one."
How can we miss today’s host and guest, or is it proper for everyone to share the meal?”
Shen Rui smiled and said: "I will tell Wen Hu that I am not used to sharing food with others, but Brother Shou. If I don't think of a way, I will be afraid that when Wen Hu comes back, it will be difficult to refuse the kindness."
Brother Shou took a few breaths while looking at the half bowl of soup, turned around and shouted to the door: "Ji Wu, come quickly"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sturdy young man in shorts came in from the door, glanced at Shen Rui, and then stood next to Brother Shou.
Shoshou pointed to the half bowl of soup and said with disgust on his face: "Drink it quickly."
The strong young man didn't talk nonsense and immediately obeyed the order. He raised the soup bowl and took a few big mouthfuls. However, because there was quite a bit of food at the bottom of the bowl, he didn't drink it completely.
Brother Shou hesitated for a moment and wanted to send this strong young man away, but after thinking about Gao Wenhu's pragmatism, he handed over his chopsticks.
The strong young man put down the soup bowl, took it with both hands, and ate all the heart, liver, belly and lungs with a few chopsticks.
Brother Shou breathed a long sigh of relief and sent the strong young man out.
The waiter brought two pieces of mutton head meat over and said, "Brother, this whole mutton head meat is about one and a half kilograms. If it's two kilograms, you have to add a small piece. Where do you want to cut it?"
Just before Shen Rui came in, he saw a palindrome on the banner hanging outside.
This is a halal mutton soup shop.
Although the room smelled fishy, the windows were bright and clean, and the tables and chairs were wiped clean.
The boiled mutton soup in front of him looked extremely white. Shen Rui thought about the people in his family and said: "No need to cut it, let's get the whole one, two..."
The clerk responded, took it off, wrapped it in yellow paper, tied it up and handed it over. The mutton soup was also put into a porcelain jar, and he brought a handful of money over: "Brother, I have received one hundred and eighty cents from the inheritance.
After giving you three coins, there are still one hundred and twenty coins left here..."
Shen Rui only took the bunch of money and said, "Thank you, little brother. I'll send the soup cans back tomorrow..."
This soup shop is not a place for wealthy people to eat, and most of the customers who come here are for the neighbors or some men who go to the city to find a way to survive.
Shen Rui had just given a reward of more than ten coins, and this time it was another twenty coins. The man's face was filled with smiles.
At this time, Gao Wenhu was seen running over panting.
He sat down at the table, put down the empty bowl, and said with a smile: "My mother scolded me, but I saw her smiling secretly, which showed that she was happy... But she didn't drink, and said she would wait for me in the evening
Let’s eat together when dad comes back…”
After finishing speaking in one breath, he saw that the soup bowls in front of him were all empty.
He glanced at the sesame cakes and said, "What should I do? I'll choke if I just eat the sesame cakes."
Brother Shou stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "I couldn't hold it back, so I drank it all in one breath..."
Gao Wenhu didn't mean to blame Brother Shou, but looked at Shen Rui with some embarrassment.
Shen Rui smiled and said: "I will go home and use it with my mother. I think my mother will also be happy..."
With only three sesame seed cakes left in front of him, Gao Wenhu scratched the back of his head: "Then let's have soup next time, and first go to Qianmen Street to watch the sideshow..."
Shen Rui glanced at Brother Shou and saw that he was hesitant. Then he looked at the shoes under his feet and knew that his "traveling incognito" was within the prescribed limits, so he said: "I'd better go back to your home if I go another day."
Talk, it’s really noisy outside...",
Brother Shou also nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, let's go home..."
Gao Wenhu had no objection and grabbed the money bag to pay. Shen Rui pointed to the paper bag and soup can in front of him and said: "Because I want to bring food to my parents, uncles and aunts, I will pay the bill first. Wenhu will do it next time."
dinner……"
Gao Wenhu was stunned for a moment, but did not fight with Shen Rui. He only said to Brother Shou: "I still have money for three bowls of soup. If Brother Shou likes it, would you like another bowl?"
When Brother Shou heard this, his face turned pale and he said, "No, no, no, my stomach is so full that it's even up to my throat."
When I left the mutton soup shop, I saw an "idle man" leaning on a willow tree on the street. It was there that the sun was out, and it was the young man who had just entered the house to drink soup.
After Shen Rui and his party left in front, he followed several other people dressed in various costumes and followed them slowly behind...
After everyone left and came back, Aunt Gao was already entertaining the guests happily, and this time she served noodles and tea to everyone.
Shen Rui's stomach was empty, so he drank this millet noodle tea and felt it was just right.
Because Shou Ge said "full" before and smelled the fragrant noodle tea, he could only act like he was full and offered it to Gao Wenhu.
Although Gao Wenhu has a cheerful personality, Shen Rui is meeting him for the third time after all, and he is not a talkative person. Plus, there is Brother Shou next to him, which makes him a little cold.
Brother Shou, on the other hand, was quite concerned because Shen Rui had mentioned the martial arts test before. He squeezed Gao Wenhu's arm and said, "Brother Gao, you are so strong that you can draw a bow and shoot an arrow without any problem... Are you looking for someone to do it?"
Go to a martial arts school to learn boxing, kicking, and archery skills?"
Gao Wenhu said: "Brother Shen is stubborn... The rich are poor in literature and martial arts. Only rich families learn martial arts. My family has no money for tuition..."
Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Brother Shou became anxious: "If you don't have money, you have to find a way to raise money. If you win the military examination, you can be promoted to an official. Then you will earn at least dozens of taels of silver a year..."
Gao Wenhu, however, seemed to be hearing a fairy tale and did not hear it. He smiled naively and said: "Where can such a good thing come from? If it were so easy, others would have gone crazy and it would not be my turn. I still keep my head down.
Learn how to butcher pigs with my father. Once you learn a craft, you will be solid for the rest of your life..."
