Chapter 76 The Story of Canned Beef


Chapter 76 The Story of Canned Beef

“Okay!” Tang Wulin said with a smile, he was already hungry.

Bottled beef is a delicacy cooked in a brown earthenware pot. The beef is washed and stewed with green onion and ginger slices. The earthenware pot can well lock in the moisture and delicious taste of the beef. After the beef changes color, more than a dozen spices are added and simmered for a long time until the beef is completely crispy. The flavor of the spices has been perfectly blended with the beef. It is a famous snack in Donghai City.

The shop is not big, and the stove is outside. There are nearly a hundred small flames on it. There are earthen pots for stewed beef on top. The lids of the earthen pots are buzzing with the aroma of steaming beef. The aroma also takes the opportunity to slip out and tempt passers-by. .

There are only five small rectangular tables in the store, which can seat more than twenty people at most. Half of them are already seated at this time.

It is late autumn now, and the temperature outside is not high. As soon as you enter the store, you are greeted by warmth and the aroma of beef, which immediately makes you feel comfortable all over your body.

Gu Yue glanced at Xie Xie in surprise, "I didn't expect that a young master from a rich family could eat at a roadside restaurant!"

Xie Xie did not quarrel with her this time, "My mother used to love this restaurant the most. The canned beef in the store, I come here every once in a while." As he said that, he had already walked in. He sat down at a table in the back.

Tang Wulin touched Gu Yue, then walked in and sat down opposite Xie Xie.

"Hey, Xie Xie is here, and he brought his friends. Is it still the same?" The boss is a middle-aged uncle with a greasy apron tied around his waist and a smile on his face.

"Well, thank you, Uncle Li." Xie Xie smiled.

Soon, three cans of beef, three bowls of white rice, and two side dishes made of green vegetables were served.

"This is your first time to bring friends here. Let me give you some side dishes." Uncle Li said with a smile, and then touched Xie Xie's head as if he were his nephew.

Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie in surprise. Xie Xie had a mysophobia. His bed was always the cleanest in the dormitory. But at this time, facing the touch of this street shop owner, , instead of hiding away, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Li."

Whether it was Tang Wulin or Gu Yue, the image of Xie Xie in this state was somewhat subversive.

Xie Xie said: "What are you waiting for? Eat quickly." As he said that, he had already opened the lid of the earthenware jar in front of him. The rich aroma of beef suddenly emitted from the earthenware jar. The soup was dark golden and could be seen. Cut the beef into small pieces one by one. Xie Xie touched it with chopsticks, and immediately the beef became crispy.

Carefully pick out a piece and put it on the rice, and then eat it with the rice. His face is full of enjoyment.

Tang Wulin couldn't bear it anymore and started eating like Xie Xie.

"It's delicious." He exclaimed. It was indeed delicious. The strong aroma of beef, accompanied by soup, and the salty aroma were neutralized by the white rice, making it perfect.

Gu Yue couldn't help but be moved after taking a bite.

It is such a small shop, with dim lights, shabby tables and chairs, but amazing food. Beef, thick soup, side dishes, and white rice are all delicious and warm.

The atmosphere among the three people who had been training together for three months was obviously much more harmonious than in the academy.

"Uncle Li, please have another ten servings." Xie Xie greeted Uncle Li because he knew someone's appetite very well.

Tang Wulin scratched his head in embarrassment, "Thank you."

"What?" Xie Xie looked up at him.

Tang Wulin said helplessly: "Your name is really bad, I'm talking about the thank you."

Xie Xie suddenly smiled bitterly, with red eyes, "I My mother gave me this name because she was grateful for that encounter. She said that the happiest thing in her life was meeting her father at that time. ..." At this point, his face suddenly became a little pale, and his hand holding the chopsticks was obviously strong. "Your mother?" Tang Wulin asked hesitantly. Although he could tell that Xie Xie's family was very wealthy, this was the first time he heard Xie Xie mention family matters.

Xie Xie pursed his lips and said, "Dad is busy with all kinds of things all day long. Even when my mother was seriously ill, he was always running around. Before my mother passed away, her last wish was to see him, but he I came back late. I will never forget that night, my mother let go of my hand with tears in her eyes, I hated him, I hated my name too! If it hadn't been for that encounter, my mother might not have..."

At this point, he suddenly fell down on the table.

When he came here, he seemed to have shed all his pretense of coldness and arrogance, and this was also the first time he confided his true feelings to others.

At this moment, Uncle Li brought over a new can of beef. While setting things on the table, he sighed, "This child is so pitiful. His mother used to like to bring him to my place. Then his mother left, and he came by himself. He will think of his mother every time. Don't blame him. Ah! It’s rare to see him bring his friends. I’m so happy for him. This kid is young, but he’s worried. Please help him. Hey, what a sin!”

Tang Wulin patted him. Holding Xie Xie's back, Gu Yue sat there a little dull, looking at Xie Xie who was crying, something gradually appeared in her eyes.

"Hey, don't cry. I take back what I said before. I'll let you treat me today." Gu Yue kicked Xie Xie who was opposite him.

Xie Xie raised his head and wiped the water from his eyes with his sleeves, "I smell like copper!"

Gu Yue curled her lips, "The little brat is quite vindictive. ”

Xie Xie said angrily: "You are the same age as me, but you are younger than me. I am a little kid, what are you? A little girl?"

Gu Yue opened a new earthen jar, He lowered his head and started eating, and while eating, he said: "Don't quarrel with the crying guy. Woo hoo, it's delicious."

When the three of them left the Menggu Beef restaurant, Uncle Li looked at their backs , couldn’t help but sigh, “Children today are so delicious!”

A meal of canned beef not only brought satisfaction and warmth to Tang Wulin and the three of them, but also invisibly brought the three of them closer together.

Then there are salt-grilled prawns. Fresh prawns are pierced with bamboo skewers, grilled over charcoal fire, and sprinkled with salt foam. It couldn't be simpler, but it is full of the delicious taste of the ocean.

Tang Wulin fully demonstrated his style as the god of food. The three of them ate from one end of the snack street to the other, full of laughter.

"You've eaten well." Gu Yue held Tang Wulin's shoulder, while Xie Xie, on the other side, also held his shoulder.

Tang Wulin said with a smile: "If you don't have enough belly, don't learn from the God of Cookery."

Xie Xie rolled his eyes, "What a God of Cookery, you are just a foodie. This is my first time watching this I want to say it when you are eating.”

Tang Wulin snorted coldly, "Let's go on and eat. It's your treat anyway." I'm afraid there is a cow?

Tang Wulin said proudly: "That's right!"

"Hey! What's going on over there?" Gu Yue said suddenly.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie looked up and saw that there seemed to be some commotion at the entrance to the snack street, with many people surrounding them.

That location seems to be a canned beef restaurant!
