The cubs who visited the capital for the first time really felt novel when they saw everything. Everyone took turns carrying small meat buns and small dumplings, and they would not feel tired after walking for a long time.
In the winter, the old man was really worried that the children would be frozen, and he did not plan to go outdoors. He tried to focus on indoors. The old man took them to a shopping mall, took the elevator that will walk by himself, and went to eat at noon. Roast duck with small meat buns.
In the past, the roast ducks that Han Cheng and Zhang Hongtu brought back were usually kept for a few days. Although Su Xiaoxiao would re-roast them, the taste was not bad, but compared to this kind of duck that just came out of the oven, it was sizzling with oil. The skin is still crispy and the duck is crispy, and the taste is really heaven and earth.
The roast duck was brought to the chef and the chef paid 108 knives in front of their noodles, served with the thin lotus leaf cake, the authentic sweet noodle sauce, the greasy green onions and the clear cucumbers to eat together, it was simply the world tasty.
The rice **** and the small meat buns had a round belly, and even the small bean buns and the small dumplings, the two cubs who didn't want to eat a lot, ate a lot.
Xiaozhuzi was worried that his younger brother and sister would be overwhelmed, so he ordered a pot of sour plum soup, which is appetizing and greasy.
Xiaotangyuan and Xiaoroubao like to drink sour plum soup. In summer, Su Xiaoxiao will occasionally cook a large pot for them to drink. They all like the sweet and sour taste.
Xiaoroubao drank a large bowl, licked his lips, and said, "Grandpa, the restaurant in the capital is so big, and the roast duck is also delicious, but this plum soup is not as delicious as what my mother made."
Yali took a clean handkerchief and dipped it in some water to help Xiaoroubao wipe his mouth clean. He squinted and enjoyed the service of Aunt Yali, lazily like a satisfied kitten.
"Your mother's food is delicious, Dad, to be honest, you really need to taste Xiaoxiao's craftsmanship. I've never met anyone who can cook better than her." Yali said with a smile.
The old man nodded and said with a smile: "I have tasted it, Hancheng came back to the capital for a business trip and brought me some sesame biscuits and smoked fish made by her, which tasted very good.
The old man is now idle at home, and he has no special hobbies except to play with birds and walks. No one knows which chef is the best at cooking in a state-run restaurant. If the restaurant changes the chef, he will be able to taste it.
Su Xiaoxiao's craftsmanship is indeed very good. He will never forget it after trying it out. He intends to take Su Xiaoxiao's craftsmanship for a while after he has tried it with his children.
The cubs like to hear others praise Su and laugh, and if there is a small tail, they want to wag it.
Xiaoroubao said, "Big brother and Zhuzi both like to eat sesame biscuits and smoked fish, and I like them too!"
The rice ball said: "There is nothing bad about anything my mother makes."
The other cubs nodded: "Yes!"
When Su Xiaoxiao went out in the morning, he asked the cubs to bring a thermos bottle containing chrysanthemum Sydney water and put it in Xiaodoubao's big rooster schoolbag. The chrysanthemum Sydney water had been drunk, and Xiaodoubao didn't drink his own bowl of sour plum soup. down.
When the old man saw it, he asked Xiaodoubao: "Can't you finish the Xiaodoubao?"
Xiaodoubao never lied since he was a child, shook his head and said, "Mom likes to drink, take it back for her to taste."
It turned out that he was reluctant to drink it for his mother. The old man rubbed the child's head and said, "No need to fill it up, give me the kettle, and let them refill it. Xiaodoubao can drink this bowl."
The rice ball shook his head and said, "I don't need grandpa, this mother can also make it, and it tastes better. Xiaodoubao is just used to bring some food that can be taken away for my mother to taste, and my mother can drink it at most to taste it."
The old man understands that, as a stepmother, if you really think of your stepson as your own, they will think about everything. Su Xiaoxiao is really good.
Xiaoroubao and Xiaotangyuan are used to taking a nap after a meal. After lunch, they can't hold it anymore. They rub their eyes and feel sleepy. Zhang Hongtu and Yali hug each other. Anyway, it's a long time to come to Japan. At this time and a half, the whole family decided to go home.
Su Xiaoxiao and Han Cheng didn't cook lunch either. There are quite a few fly restaurants opening up in the hutongs recently. Although they can't openly open their doors for business now, very few people have mentioned cutting the tail of capitalism, and there will be no red armbands to catch them. People seal the shop, or the same sentence, at this time when all industries are waiting to be prospered, it is the courageous people to die, the timid people to starve to death, and the people who dare to fight and dare to be the first can break out into the world.
It has always been Su Xiaoxiao’s wish to open a small restaurant. In the future, I won’t have so much time to cook meals for the whole family. I have my own restaurant. First of all, I will solve the problem of eating for the whole family. There is food to eat.
Today, she and Han Cheng are not only solving lunch, but also visiting the store to see how others are doing it and whether they can follow this model.
The couple walked into a noodle shop at the entrance of the Hutong. The facade is not big. It is estimated that they vacated their own yard for the facade. There is a small sign on the door, which is impossible to see unless you look carefully.
Just as Han Cheng and Su Xiaoxiao sat down, an aunt about fifty or sixty years old came over and asked them what to eat.
Su smiled and asked, "Don't you have a menu here?"
Auntie shook her head: "I can't make such a variety in my own small kitchen. Today, I only have boiled noodles. If you want, I will give you two bowls. If you don't want to eat boiled noodles, then you can go shopping. There have been many shops in this area recently. You can find what you want."
This auntie is sincere. Su Xiaoxiao saw that the room was almost full of people, and everyone was burying their heads in the noodles. It was estimated that the taste would not be bad, and it smelled good, so she ordered two bowls of braised noodles.
The brine is made in advance, and it can be served with a spoonful of brine for a few minutes. The speed of serving is extremely fast.
Su Xiaoxiao flipped through the marinade, which contained mushrooms, mushrooms, fungus, daylily, pork belly, and thin glutinous rice flour hooked with egg liquid. The color was attractive, thick and moderate. He nodded with satisfaction and said to Han Cheng, "It's the authentic old capital. The traditional braised noodles are also hand-rolled.”
Su Xiaoxiao took another sip, the noodles were firm, salty and mild, and the aroma of hot oil soy simmered over the green onions and peppercorns, and nodded again with satisfaction: "Yes, I don't dare to open a shop without two brushes these days."
Han Cheng tasted it and nodded: "It's really delicious, it still tastes like when I was a child."
Su Xiaoxiao said to Han Cheng in a low voice: "Han Cheng, what do you think would be best if we open a small restaurant? This kind of fly restaurant must be delicious and delicious so that others can remember it. For example, I ate this bowl of brine. Noodles, if I want to eat braised noodles in the future, I will think of their family as soon as possible."
"Are you still thinking about opening a store?" Su Xiaoxiao had mentioned opening a store a long time ago, and Han Cheng thought she was joking.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Naturally, we will open it. We won't have so much time to cook for the children in the future, and we are not at ease if we always eat out. Let's not talk about making money or not, if there is such a small store of our own. , the children's three meals a day are solved, when we are looking for a yard, it is best to find two next to each other, at least in a hutong, one for the facade, and one for us to live in. "
Open a fly restaurant near Capital University. As long as it is delicious, there is no need to worry about the source of customers. If a student comes to eat and thinks it is delicious, he will naturally spread the word about it for free. Come.
But what to sell must be studied first. Like this braised noodles, it is good. There are not many varieties, but the taste must be good.
It's not that she wants to make lo mein noodles. After all, she's not an authentic capitalist, and the taste she makes is definitely not as authentic as that of the locals, but no matter what she does, she must have her own characteristics and change the menu once a week, so that others can Will not get bored.
But it's easier said than done. She and Han Cheng both have to go to school. It's a problem where to find a chef in an instant. It's also a problem for who to watch the restaurant. , such people are not easy to find.
Su smiled and sighed, it would be great if her mother could come here, but just thinking about it, the current population can't flow freely, and it will be a few years later.
Han Cheng also raised this question: "We can't get out of our hands. It's easy to teach people to cook a few dishes, but it's not easy to find someone you can trust to visit the store."
People these days are sincere, and they can't eat a big bowl full of noodles. Su Xiaoxiao can't eat half of it, and pushes it to Han Cheng: "Anyway, I have such an idea at the moment. I'll see you step by step in the future. , but the sooner the yard can be sold, the better, even if you don’t make a storefront and rent it to others to live in and collect some rent, it’s still good.”
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a long time, the house will only become more and more expensive in the future, while everyone is still waiting for the unit to live in a house, and there is no awareness and consciousness of buying a house by yourself, you can hoard as many houses as you can, here in the future However, in the best area of the capital, where every inch of land and money is very expensive, any house in your hand is sky-high. It is not easy to live in the capital. It is best to pave the way for the big brother and the second brother while you can. The big treasure and the little treasure will go to college or settle in the capital. more convenient.
Han Cheng naturally didn't know what Su Xiaoxiao was thinking. He took over Su Xiaoxiao's leftover noodles and ate them together. Anyway, he would only cooperate and support unconditionally in any decision of Su Xiaoxiao. She said everything in the family. It's okay, he has no opinion and takes this matter to heart.
The couple had eaten the noodles and were going home. On the way back, they saw someone pushing a bicycle to sell pork. Su Xiaoxiao thought of making some soup for the children in the evening, so she bought some spare ribs.
The children who went out to play had already arrived home, and the couple had already carried Xiaoroubao and Xiaotangyuan to the west wing for a nap, and they also went back to their room to take a nap.
Xiaodoubao smiled and took out the sour plum soup from the big rooster's schoolbag and gave it to Su Xiaoxiao to drink: "Mom, it's already a little cold, you can taste it."
Su Xiaoxiao took it, meaning to take a sip, and patted the cub's head: "Thank you Xiaodoubao, but you can't drink it cold in such a cold day. If you want to drink it, you can drink it after heating."
Xiaodoubao nodded: "Mom, I know."
Xiaodoubao nestled in his mother's arms and excitedly told his mother what he saw today.
Su Xiaoxiao put her arms around the cub and listened patiently, asking a few questions from time to time, and Xiaodoubao was very happy.
Han Cheng on the other side told the old man about Han Songbai's return.
The old man didn't know the real reason why Han Songbai went abroad at first. He thought he would come back when he saw that the situation in China was good. He nodded and said, "It's better to come back, it's no better to go anywhere than to stay on your own land. He left too hastily back then. , I didn't have a good chat with him."
Han Cheng also told the story of the eldest aunt and cousin who left in a car accident. Except for hiding the truth of the year, he said everything else that could be said.
The old man couldn't help sighing: "Then what are your plans? Are you going back to the old house? Are you still buying the yard near Capital University? Xiao Wu mentioned a few days ago that there are a few yards that look good, and let me know when you find out the property rights. ."
Han Cheng said: "I want to buy it so that Xiaoxiao and I can go to school. The children will also go to school nearby. If you live here, it will be inconvenient to run back and forth every day."
The old man nodded: "That's right, your house hasn't been inhabited for decades, and it will take a lot of work to repair it. You can live with me at ease for the time being."
The old man is not stupid. Although he doesn't know what happened to the Han family back then, Han Songbai suddenly went abroad not long after Han Cheng's grandparents left. There was no sign before, and Han Cheng's parents went to the military area and never came back. However, in addition to Han Cheng's attitude that he has never entered the house for three years, there should be something that he didn't know happened in that house.
But he won't ask, no matter how good the two families are, it is their family matter, Han Cheng will naturally say if he wants to.
When Xiaodoubao was tired from talking, Su Xiaoxiao called the rice ball over and said, "Your uncle has returned from abroad. Tomorrow my parents will take you back to see him."
The two brothers looked at each other, and the rice ball asked, "Uncle? Why have I never heard you mention it?"
Xiaodoubao shook his head: "I didn't even know there was a grandfather in our family."
Su Xiaoxiao explained: "Because he went abroad when my father was very young, we thought he would not come back, so we didn't mention it. He is my father's uncle, and the yard we are going to tomorrow is my father. The place where I lived when I was a child was our old house, and you all know the way."
The rice ball understood: "Is it the house on the deed and will that Dad found last time?"
Otherwise, the rice **** are smart. I guessed that they would discuss everything with their children. Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Yes, the uncle lives in that house now, we don't live there, we will wait for two Let's go to the vicinity of Capital University to see if there is a suitable yard, and if there is one, let's buy one as our new home, okay?"
There is nothing wrong with rice **** and bean buns, as long as the whole family lives together.
Su Xiaoxiao hugged both cubs in her arms: "Then it's settled, let's go to see the uncle tomorrow, and go to the house in two days."
The brothers nodded: "Okay."
The old man and Han Cheng had finished chatting, and when he heard Su Xiaoxiao talking softly to the children over there, he looked away from the gentle mother and asked Han Cheng, "Has Xiaoxiao always been with the children like this? ?"
Han Cheng looked over, just to see his wife's eyebrows curled around her two sons, his eyes softened, and he nodded: "This is how we have gotten along since marrying me, getting along well with the children and teaching them well. , the children have been clinging to her since childhood, and she loves her very much."
The old man smiled and said, "I can see that the pillars are also taught very well. If you have a conflict with Xiaoxiao, you must let them choose one of you, and they will probably not want you as a biological father."
Han Cheng hooked his lower lip and didn't answer, seeing his wife's eyes soften, not very likely, but definitely.
