While looking for a restaurant in Huangjia Village, Ding Jiamin called and asked if Xiaomi was okay in the academy.
Zhang Tan suspected that Xiaomi had a good ear. She was walking in front hand in hand with Xiaobai. As soon as the phone rang, she turned around and looked over. After the call was answered, her eyes widened and she stared at him, as if she could also hear what was being said on the phone.
sound.
Zhang Tan noticed that there was no external sound on the phone. He looked down at Xiaomi who came to him eagerly, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to talk to Sister Xiaomin?"
Xiaomi nodded.
Zhang Tan gave her the phone, and Xiaomi said sweetly to the phone: "Wai~~~is this Sister Xiaomin~~~~"
Zhang Tan looked up and Xiaobai stared at him blankly.
After Xiaomi finished the call, Zhang Tan dialed Malanhua's mobile phone. After contacting her, he said, "Xiaobai wants to talk to you," and then handed the phone to the eager Xiaobai.
Xiaobai happily said to the mobile phone: "Auntie, have you eaten Mangmang?..."
I was still very angry with my aunt in the morning, but now she screamed so sweetly.
Malanhua and the others are still on the high-speed rail at the moment and are about to arrive in Zhejiang.
After the two children finished making calls, their mobile phones could finally rest. Zhang Tan took them to find a restaurant. Along the way, many dogs followed them unknowingly and ran around them. To be precise, they were all directed at the children.
Come for free.
Xiaomi was a little scared of so many dogs and followed Zhang Tan nervously, her little hands unable to help but hold on to his pants.
Xiaobai, on the other hand, was like a fish in water and could call every dog by name. She glanced at Xiaomi secretly and whispered to a beige puppy, "Xiaomi, go away quickly." She turned around and picked up a big black dog.
The dog ran away because it was Boss Zhang.
Now that the two principals were right in front of him, Xiaobai felt very guilty and hurriedly drove them away. Let's talk about it next time. It's not safe now.
"Let's eat here. The food cooked by this aunt is very delicious." Zhang Tan took Xiaobai and Xiaomi into a small restaurant called Lanting Restaurant. Although it looks like a fly restaurant, it is nearby
It has a good reputation and is favored by everyone.
Today is Saturday, but many companies have a holiday, and the office workers on West Chang'an Street have not gotten off work yet, so there are not many people in the restaurant, so I found a seat easily.
"What would Mr. Zhang want to eat?" A lady in her 40s came over with a menu and asked. She looked at the children sitting side by side and asked, "Whose child is this?"
Xiaomi lowered his head, shy and afraid to speak.
Xiaobai introduced himself: "My name is Xiaobai, her name is Xiaomi, and Boss Zhang invites us to eat Mangmang."
The lady boss smiled and asked her what she wanted to eat. The child's eyes turned and she shook her head. She didn't know what to eat.
But Zhang Tan knew her better and ordered directly: "One portion of chicken bones with soy sauce, one portion of salt and pepper steak, one portion of yellow croaker with noodles, and another portion of vegetables, bean curd and water spinach, and a portion of soup as well. It's delicious."
There are quacks and fish, which are exactly what Xiaobai likes. There are also chickens, although they are not Bangbang chickens, but they all belong to the chicken family.
The landlady wrote them down one by one and asked, "Would you like a piece of dry-roasted pomfret?"
She remembered that Zhang Tan liked to eat braised pomfret and ordered it almost every time he came here.
"No, that's all."
Dry-roasted pomfret is one of the signature dishes of this restaurant, but this dish has a lot of hot sauce, and a lot of fermented wine is put in the hot sauce. The whole dish smells of wine, so it is not suitable for children.
The landlady left, and Zhang Tan looked down and saw two pairs of big eyes looking at him. They were sitting on chairs, just half their heads higher than the table, and their noses were under the table.
How are you going to eat here? Zhang Tan smiled and asked for two high stools for them, which were almost the same height now.
The two children gathered together and murmured. Xiaobai said to Zhang Tan: "Boss Zhang, you'd better call the boss's wife back."
Zhang Tan: "Why? She is cooking in the kitchen. Do you have anything to do with her?"
Xiaobai: "We are just kids. We only eat a little bit and we get nagging. You ordered a lot. There are five dishes. We can't finish them. It's such a waste."
Zhang Tan: "Can you only eat a little bit?"
Xiaobai and Xiaomi nodded together, Xiaobai even stretched out his little hand, compared it with Zhang Tan, and said: "Our hands are much smaller than yours, and our bellies are much smaller than yours, so we can only eat a little bit."
Well, don’t waste it.”
Zhang Tan: "But I can eat a lot, otherwise I won't be full."
Xiaobai asked in surprise: "You eat 5 dishes?"
She and her uncle and aunt usually eat three dishes, or at most four dishes. Boss Zhang alone eats five dishes.
"Your mother raised you up."
Zhang Tan:-_-||
Will it go bankrupt or something??
The dishes are served one after another. The chicken sauce bones are not chicken bones, but chicken chopped into small pieces with bones. The authentic chicken sauce bones are made from old hens, but various restaurants and hotels do not have such strict standards, so it is useless to use them.
It's hard for customers to eat it.
The sauce is poured on the chicken bones. The sauce is the essence of this dish and the secret of every store. The reason why this store is favored by everyone is because her sauce is very delicious.
The thick sauce coats the chicken pieces. It is not spicy, but a little sweet, sweet but not greasy.
Zhang Tan gave Xiaobai and Xiaomi a piece each.
Yellow croaker with noodles is actually freshly killed yellow croaker wrapped in flour. Salt, wine, pepper, MSG, minced onion and ginger are added to the fish. After being pickled and flavored, it is fried until golden and crispy.
This dish is more convenient for children to eat than chicken with sauce bones. It is crispy and easy to bite. Unlike chicken with sauce bones, it has chicken bones.
Another dish of salt and pepper steak is similar to the method of dragging yellow croaker with noodles. It uses pork ribs, which are marinated with various seasonings and then coated in egg batter and fried until golden, crispy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
The child ate very happily and seemed to like it very much, but after a while he said he didn't want to eat anymore because he was full.
Zhang Tan looked at the dishes on the table and said, "There are so many more! You didn't drink any of this soup."
The soup is a pickled fresh soup, in which bacon and spring bamboo shoots are stewed together. It is delicious. Zhang Tan once ate it with Xiaobai and Xiaomi.
"We don't like to eat this food." Xiaobai said.
Zhang Tan: "Isn't that right? You obviously ate a lot last time and forgot about it?"
"Where is it? We haven't eaten before."
"Last time, in the summer, we donated clothes and went to the aquarium. We had this for lunch. You and Xiaomi ate a lot."
Xiaobai rolled his eyes and quibbled, "Could it be that it's not me?"
Zhang Tan was dumbfounded. Could it be that I was having dinner with Xiaobai No. 2?
"What about this? This is delicious."
Zhang Tan pointed and dragged the yellow croaker.
"It's delicious, but we're full."
Zhang Tan said to himself, "Don't think I don't know how much you eat. You and I were very good at eating Bangbang chicken before. You can eat a chicken with ease."
He took out his ace, put down his chopsticks, touched his belly and said, "Since you are full and I am full, what should I do if all these dishes are wasted?"
"Paws?!" Xiaobai was surprised, "Boss Zhang, didn't you just instigate you to eat so that you can eat the claws? Are you full of claws? Did you just think about it? Do you know that your butt will bloom?"
"
If she dares to waste money at home, her aunt will immediately teach her how to be a child.
"I don't know what I was thinking. When I was ordering, I thought I was good at eating, but as I ate, I felt full."
Xiaobai stared at the dishes on the table and said, "There are so many more."
"Can you still eat it? Otherwise, you should work hard."
"Are you really full?"
“I’m really full.”
"Then I'll eat."
She used the chopsticks again, and encouraged Xiaomi to come with her. At the same time, she said to Zhang Tan: "Boss Zhang, come too. Come on, come on. Let's eat together. Let's do our best."
"Okay." Zhang Tan immediately picked up the chopsticks and rejoined them.
Finally, the three of them finished the dishes and left with satisfaction.
The sun is shining warmly, and the lanes and streets in Huangjia Village are criss-crossed. Dogs and cats wander out from time to time. Many people move out their chairs and sit in the yard or on the roadside in the sun, listening to the radio and playing with their mobile phones. There are many specialty shops along the road.
, compared with the tall West Chang'an Street, the atmosphere of life here is stronger and lower-level.
Zhang Tan suggested taking a walk instead of going back so early to digest food.
Xiaobai held Xiaomi's hand and told her to follow closely and not to get lost.
Xiaomi is a road addict and can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, and gets lost easily, especially in such small alleys that extend in all directions.
There were game consoles outside on the roadside, and several eight- or nine-year-old boys gathered around to watch and play games, shouting and yelling. Xiaobai and Xiaomi were easily attracted. They stood outside the crowd, stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks to look inside.
Although they couldn't see it, they had a strong sense of participation. The crowd cheered and shouted, and they also giggled and got excited.
Zhang Tan asked Xiaomi if she had been here before.
Speaking of which, he didn't know where Xiaomi's family lived before. When he came back in the summer, Xiaomi went to the police station.
The biggest possibility is of course Huangjia Village. There are many houses here, the rent is cheap, and it is a gathering place for many migrant workers.
Xiaomi shook her head, she didn't remember.
She couldn't even remember where her home was before.
