Chapter 228 (1/2)
In Chinese people's eating habits, chicken is an indispensable source of protein and the most accessible poultry for ordinary people. Therefore, even in the most difficult times, a bowl of rich hen soup is the most direct embodiment of concern. No matter how exaggerated the drama is, it is not said to stew a bowl of mutton soup and beef soup to entertain guests.
As the most accessible poultry to the general public, the eating method of chicken is very different in the vast Republic. Just put aside the differences in seasonings adopted according to local conditions, it does not get out of the four mainstream treatment methods of stewing, frying, roasting and pickling.
Among them, fried chicken belongs to the traditional eating method of Qi province and Sichuan Province. Therefore, when Zheng Jianguo saw the three words fried chicken shop, he felt that the shop was probably opened by northerners, because if it was opened by people from Sichuan Province, the words Sichuan food would be specially marked on the door.
But I didn't expect to be a fellow native of Shanxian County!
What a coincidence?
After a meal, Zheng Jianguo also had a preliminary understanding of Lang Zaihua and Yang Zhen. Both of them and Liu kaicai are self-employed in this street. Lang runs a fruit supermarket in China, while Yang Zhen opens a second-hand store. They are people who have just got rid of the bottom life and didn't touch the middle threshold. Of course, this is on the surface.
As the old saying goes, the villagers are crying when they see the villagers, but there is another saying in Zheng Jianguo's memory that a shot is fired in the back. What's more, this emigrated when he was a child. It was all in the early years of the Republic of China. As far as he knows, the Liu family moved out at that time. In addition to leaving a clan to take care of the old house, it is too different from the real villagers.
”Uncle, here comes the tea --”
After the four people had enough to eat and drink, Chu Qin brought a tea tray to the front, put down the pot and four cups, and then quickly removed the leftover soup bowl. Liu kaicai looked away and then picked up the pot and poured half of the four cups. Lang Zaihua picked up the cup and put it in front of Zheng Jianguo and said with a smile: ”this is the tea made of bamboo leaves and honeysuckle, We ate so much spicy seasoning before, and we just used it to clear away heat and detoxify -- ”
”Yes, it doesn't hurt the spleen and stomach. It also has the effect of removing evil spirits -”
Zheng Jianguo picked up the cup and tried the temperature with his fingertips. He said that he drank a little and gulped down. Liu kaicai opposite showed a brilliant smile, looked at him and said, ”Jianguo, come to dinner when you have nothing in the future. It's not that you don't charge your money and give you a 20% discount!”
”Then I'll come over when I'm free, but I don't know how busy I am when I go to the hospital. It seems from those seniors and sisters that I have to be busy without touching the ground -”
When he put down the cup, he smiled, but Zheng Jianguo's smiling eyes flashed a look at Liu kaicai. Because there were too many coincidences in his life, and when he came to America, he was carried by Cheng Mi's ear, almost telling people across the sea. When he looked at Liu kaicai, Li Lijun's cheek flashed in his mind, The tone was not too different: ”anyway, I'll thank boss Liu first -”
”You guy, if you didn't know you were going to be a doctor, I'd give you a free bill. None of us knew that the doctor in America was the real profitable career, but you'd be happy after hard work. Come on, drink tea.”
Liu kaicai picked up the pot again and poured tea for Zheng Jianguo. Yang Zhen next to him opened his mouth and connected it. His white old face was full of laughter. He looked at Lang Zaihua and said, ”old goods, boss Liu has given a gift. What are you waiting for?”
”Just wait for you old man to sell. Come on, let me see ~”
Next to Zheng Jianguo, Lang picked his eyebrows in China to make his single eyelids look more comfortable. Yang Zhen said with a smile: ”I do second-hand business. Do you have any big items you want to buy?”
”I don't have this. Otherwise, if I want anything in the future, you'll call me eight.”
Seeing that the three were still so polite, Zheng Jianguo directly opened his mouth and said his thoughts. After that, he smiled at Sanren: ”just if you find me later, I'm afraid you can't give you a 20% discount -”
”Oh?”
When Liu kaicai was stunned, Lang in China next to him couldn't help laughing: ”ha ha, you guy, it's not necessarily your department that we go to the hospital. Besides, we don't have medical insurance, and we can't afford to go to hospitals in the United States -”
”Then take good care of this body. After all, it will take us a long time.”
Speaking of medical insurance, Zheng Jianguo also knows that this is a problem all over the world. It is not these people who can get on the case in the United States, but groups with complete medical insurance. What to do when these people without medical insurance get sick is at their own expense at the national level. In this case, if something happens, they can only ask for their own blessings.
”What you said is old-fashioned ~”
Liu kaicai looked at Zheng Jianguo strangely. The latter knew he had missed the bottom, but pretended not to care and said with a smile: ”this is also what others say. If you don't treat it well, it will make you uncomfortable.”
Zheng Jianguo hasn't had such an experience in the conversation between the four old people for a long time. Seeing that there is a possibility that his speech and behavior may be infected by the atmosphere, he opened his mouth and prepared to say goodbye: ”well, you guys, I have to go back at this time. How about AA as we said earlier today?”
”I'll treat you to this meal. These two old goods have fallen in love with you. Our villagers see the villagers. Although I have forgotten the appearance of Shanxian County, I realize from you that it is a geomantic treasure land with outstanding people. I won't keep you today. When you are free, you can nag me about the changes of Shanxian County -”
Seeing Zheng Jianguo get up, Liu kaicai stood up without asking him to stay. Lang in China next to him said, ”Jianguo, since you came to America, boss Liu's voice has become more and more bright. If you don't believe it, go out and ask next door. I'm afraid all the Chinese in this street know that he and you are villagers. When you're all right, come and walk around -”
”Well, I'll come around when I'm not busy. I'll take your hospitality, Lao Liu. Don't give it away. My car is next to the memorial archway and it's not far away. I'm leaving ~”
Zheng Jianguo looked at the smile on Lang Zaihua's face and got a preliminary understanding of his impression in these people's hearts. He said and waved his hand, which stopped the three people. Then he stepped on the bright light at the door to the car, opened the car and sat in before he wanted to start the fire. Then he felt a smell of wine passing through his nose, He quickly took off his coat and threw it on the back seat. Although he didn't touch a drop of wine, he was smoked and rebelled by a greedy insect.
Zheng Jianguo can drink, but because he knows that he has the habit of talking in his sleep after heavy sleep, he is afraid that when he comes to drink and spit out the truth, he stops his desire to drink. At this time, he sits in the car and finds that he is wrapped in a layer of wine smell. When he is nervous, he quickly lights a fire and reverses onto the State Road.
At present, the detection of drunk driving requires blood test. If you are found to have the smell of alcohol, take it to the hospital——
