Chapter 85 Rice noodles in the morning (please vote for me, please vote for recommendations)
In the early morning of the next day, while everyone in the courtyard was still sleeping, Zhang Wentao had already gotten up, wandered into the bathroom in a state of confusion, came out, put on clean clothes, and walked out of the house.
As soon as I left the courtyard and passed by my window, Xu Hongdou's voice suddenly came from above my head.
"Zhang Wentao, wait a moment."
The 'red beans' we usually eat are adzuki beans, which are a kind of food. The scientific name of the red beans in the sentence in Wang Wei's poem 'Red beans are born in the south, and spring will send out a few branches' is called 'Acacia', which is a kind of red bean widely distributed in tropical areas.
Poisonous plants are very toxic and can even lead to death if eaten by mistake.
Zhang Wentao stopped and looked up at the person in front of the window. For a moment, he didn't know how to describe the woman with her long hair hanging down in the bright morning glow, calling him.
I just feel that in this extraordinarily quiet morning, the orange sunshine shining on the other person's face is indescribably beautiful.
"Wait for me, I'll be down right away."
Xu Hongdou lowered her head and smiled at Zhang Wentao who was in a daze downstairs. Not long after, she came to Zhang Wentao wearing casual clothes and holding her hair.
"Is there...something?"
Zhang Wentao asked in confusion. In his impression, the other party was not a person who liked to get up early.
Xu Hongdou smiled, her eyes still a little hazy from sleep: "Well, let's have breakfast together. Xie Zhiyao took me to a rice noodle shop. The rice noodles there are very delicious."
Zhang Wentao was a little dazed: "If you have anything to do, you'd better tell me."
"Let's go."
Xu Hongdou smiled and then took steps.
On the ancient road in the early morning, in the small villages filled with smoke, many locals have already had breakfast and are rushing to the market. There are also people who are rushing home with baskets on their backs to cook a sumptuous meal for their families and loved ones.
breakfast.
Zhang Wentao followed Xu Hongdou in confusion as before, wondering what was going on when the other party came to visit him so diligently.
He was full of doubts and couldn't feel the slightest touch, because the other party gave him a feeling like "a dog has seen a steamed bun".
Sure enough, when the two of them arrived at the rice noodle shop and ordered two bowls of rice noodles, Xu Hongdou looked at him and asked: "Zhang Wentao, which restaurant are you in now, are you busy with work every day?"
Zhang Wentao nodded, looked at the other person and replied: "I'm quite busy, but I can spare some time to teach Nana."
Although I can't figure out why the other party is looking for me, it's probably because of this incident, but didn't I make an appointment with Nana last night?
"Business is so good?" Xu Hongdou sounded a little confused.
"Well, it's okay."
After saying that, both of them started to turn on the silent mode. After a while, the owner of the rice noodle shop greeted them to bring rice noodles. Zhang Wentao and Xu Hongdou both stood up and walked over. When they returned to the small dining table, the two of them had a tacit understanding.
Everyone eats what they want.
One is that he suddenly doesn’t know how to speak, and the other is that he is afraid of what the other person will suddenly say.
"Sister Anko!"
A crisp sound brought their eyes to Xie Qin at the same time. At some point, she was wearing glasses and standing in front of them with a basket on her back.
Xu Hongdou put down his chopsticks and was about to say hello when he heard the other party say seriously: "Sister Hongdou, why are you eating here?"
Then she turned her gaze to Zhang Wentao, but her tone changed and said: "Zhang Wentao, why did you invite me, Sister Hongdou, to have breakfast so early in the morning? Don't you know that Sister Hongdou is the one that Brother Ayao broke up with at BJ?"
?”
Hearing this, Zhang Wentao was stunned for a moment...
…
In the restaurant, Zhang Wentao stood in front of the oven with a sullen face. As the temperature of the bread in the mold in the oven increased, the soft white dough began to expand and gradually became fuller. The skin gradually began to change color, and the top appeared
Beige…
When the top finally turned dark brown, Zhang Wentao opened it without saying a word and took it out one by one, as if he had reacted.
He seemed to have done a lot today. This batch had just been baked. He adjusted the temperature of the oven, then picked up a baking tray filled with other types of bread and put it in.
Usually, he would wait for the oven to cool down for a period of time and reach the set temperature before doing this.
Xie Liang carefully cleaned the kitchen and heard the sound. Holding the rag, he did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the lifeless Zhang Wentao and triggering a burst of scolding.
The other party's serious expression and silence today, coupled with various other abnormal behaviors, all mean one thing: stay away from me!
Now the waiters in the kitchen and the front office have reached a basic consensus. As long as they find this situation, it is best not to make a sound, or just walk away quietly.
Moreover, Shi Tiandong had the morning off today. If they were scolded at this time, no one would come to comfort them.
If you get into trouble at this time, you will probably be scolded to the point of wanting to die.
"Xie Liang, help me take these bread away."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
"hurry up!"
…
For a whole morning, Madam Huailan's embroidery shop was also very busy.
Xu Hongdou, Xie Zhiyao, and Huang Xinxin rushed over early in the morning. They heard that they were specially making Bai clothes to entertain guests. The happy Madam Huailan kept measuring the three of them, and followed them.
They discussed what kind of tattoo they wanted to have on their collar.
Xu Hongdou, who finished her work first, looked at the lifelike and exquisite embroidery works hanging on the walls of the store, but she was not interested at all.
After meeting Xie Qin at the door of the rice noodle shop, she learned from the other person's mouth that rumors about her and Xie Zhiyao had begun to spread in the village again.
She said that she was the other person's former girlfriend, and she came here to get back together after the breakup. Now they are together, she is helping the other person look after the store, and her marriage is about to happen, and so on.
Compared to the rumors, what she cared about most was Zhang Wentao's reaction at that time.
The other party acted as if nothing was wrong. After listening to Xie Qin's words, he explained that he was just a tenant living with him in the courtyard, then got up and left.
He didn't even say hello, and deliberately started to avoid suspicion in front of others.
Xie Zhiyao, who was beside him, had been cheerful all morning, as if he didn't know there were such rumors in the village.
So she was a little confused and didn't know what to say.
Xie Zhiyao seemed to have noticed Xu Hongdou's uneasiness. After all, when he usually brought the other party to experience such new things, the other party's face would be filled with a happy smile.
So he asked: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well?"
"Ah, no, I just got up too early."
"It's still early. It's almost ten o'clock when we meet."
Xu Hongdou glanced at Xie Zhiyao helplessly, not knowing how to explain what happened that morning, and said after a while: "What are you doing, Sister Xiaochun? Didn't we agree to come together?"
"She, she went to the tavern in the morning to help Nana look after the store, and she will come over by herself when she has time in the afternoon."
After explaining, Xie Zhiyao raised his wrist to look at the time, smiled and said to Xu Hongdou: "Let's go to my house for a meal together at noon. Grandma knew that we were making clothes this morning, so she specially prepared a meal for us."
"No, let's do it next time. Tell grandma for me and I'll go next time."
