Chapter 411 I'll tell you, you guess!
After having dinner at a private restaurant, Yu Dawei asked Zhou Zhou to take him back to Xiao Jiang's hair salon in Futian.
When I came back, I saw Erdan giving a child a haircut. Next to him was a gossipy parent sitting on the black leather sofa behind her, chattering on and on about her husband.
Some of the complaints were so offensive that even the seven or eight-year-old child getting a haircut couldn't stand them and angrily retorted to his mother in the mirror.
The mother seemed to dote on her son, and immediately shut up after hearing his angry words. Just then, Yu Dawei walked in from outside the door.
Don't let Erdan's small size fool you; his barbershop is air-conditioned. In Erdan's words, "A barbershop is a service business, so service comes first. That way, I won't ruin my reputation."
And he did exactly as he said he would, but such a good brother Erdan... sigh.
"Dawei's back! Have you eaten? If not, I'll take you next door for a bowl of noodles later. I can't let your sister-in-law say I'm being unreasonable again." Erdan smiled as he cut Yu Dawei's hair.
He was in a great mood today. He had secretly made arrangements with the person in charge of the proposal venue this morning so that he could bring his wife there tomorrow.
He plans to invite several good friends he met in Shenzhen, such as Claw, Biaozi, Xiaozhuang, and Dawei.
I wonder what the weather will be like tomorrow. I'll check the weather forecast when I get home tonight.
"I've already eaten, Erdan, you go ahead with your work. I'm going out to buy some groceries, and we'll have a drink together tonight." Yu Dawei leaned against the white door frame by the door, smiling at Jiang Erdan.
“Sure! You always brag about how good your cooking is, so I’ll try it tonight.” Jiang Erdan agreed first, then looked at Yu Dawei with some guilt, “Brother, I’ve made you suffer. I’ve been wanting to come here to my restaurant to see and try the dishes, but it’s always been either you or me who’s busy.”
"Once I'm done with my work these next few days, I'll definitely take you to see my little restaurant. The chef there is also from Northeast China; he came to Shenzhen around the same time as me. His name is Xiao Zhuang, and we're very close." Jiang Erdan saw the growing hair on the child's head and trimmed it slightly with scissors.
"No rush, Erdan, you go ahead with your work. I'm going to the nearby market to buy some groceries." Yu Dawei waved to Jiang Erdan, then turned and walked out of the cool barbershop.
"You seem quite energetic." Jiang Erdan shook his head and smiled, then couldn't help but hum a little tune he had heard in Northeast China.
After Yu Dawei left, he walked towards the two streets behind him. There are quite a few vegetable markets in Futian, especially after the new market was built. Some of the original old vegetable markets were separated to form two or three small vegetable markets.
The market has shrunk in size, but the space is much larger than before.
Yu Dawei likes to go to the vegetable market two streets behind, mainly because the prices are cheap and the service provided by the vendors in the south is very good. Even if you buy a potato and ask them to peel it, they will do it for you.
In Northeast China, if you buy a potato and ask the seller to peel it, they'll probably just slap you back without hesitation.
"How much is this turtle? Yes, it's this soft-shelled turtle."
"This is too lively! Do you have any with a greener skin? I'd like to get a big one."
Yu Dawei stopped at a seafood turtle shop, carrying various ingredients in his hands, including a live chicken that had just been killed.
"You're an interesting young man. All turtles are green, there's no one who isn't green." This was the first time the seafood stall owner, who had been running a stall for decades, had ever seen someone pick turtles like this.
But since they had asked, he picked up the fishing net and started rummaging around, finally finding one with relatively green skin: "Will this one work?"
"It's too small. It can't handle this much green." Yu Dawei shook his head, expressing his dissatisfaction.
The seafood vendor was taken aback, not immediately understanding what the other person meant.
I just felt that this young man, who spoke with a strong northern accent, was really a bit difficult to please.
Finally, Yu Dawei found a very satisfactory turtle at the seafood restaurant.
At night, Yu Dawei and Jiang Erdan had a small gathering at the barbershop. There were only the two of them in the room, and Yu Dawei had moved the small square table from the kitchen to the barbershop's work area.
The door had already been closed by Jiang Erdan. Seeing that Yu Dawei had bought two bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), I knew that tonight we would definitely not leave until we were drunk.
Before long, a table full of dishes was ready. The small table used for the Chu-Han Contention was now too small to hold all the dishes.
"Brother, you made too much food. How much can the two of us eat?" Erdan had just finished tidying up the barbershop and then helped Yu Dawei bring over the tableware from the kitchen.
Only then did he have time to look at the dishes.
Blanched bok choy hearts, stir-fried lettuce tips, cold-dressed perilla leaves, garlic sprouts and sweet potato leaves, stinky tofu with fried eggs... these are vegetarian dishes.
There was only one meat dish: turtle stew with chicken.
In addition, there is also turtle soup.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Jiang Erdan was naturally happy, feeling that he was in for a treat today. However, he didn't know why, but he felt that the colors of these dishes were somewhat monotonous. "Let's eat, let's eat. The last dish is a dipping sauce from our hometown." Yu Dawei came out of the kitchen with an enamel basin.
The vegetable bowl contains bright green bok choy, green scallions, green chili peppers, and a sliced green radish.
"Hey bro, where are you going to put this huge bowl? We can't possibly eat all of this!" Jiang Erdan was speechless when he saw Yu Dawei bring over another huge bowl of greens. There was just too much; they couldn't possibly finish it all.
"It's alright, Brother Erdan. The vegetables with dipping sauce in our hometown are the cheapest. Just put them on the ground." Yu Dawei sat down with a smile and placed the vegetable bowl on the ground with a little force.
"Be careful, you might break the floor tiles." Jiang Erdan reached out and opened a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), poured Yu Dawei a full glass, and smiled helplessly, "I know why you cook these dishes."
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Yu Dawei's heart started pounding!
What's going on? You understand now? Brother Erdan is amazing, I didn't expect you to react like this.
The other party's next words immediately dampened Yu Dawei's spirits.
“Sigh, it’s hard to buy vegetables in the South. It’s understandable that someone like you who has lived in the North for a long time can’t buy suitable ingredients. Next time, next time I’ll take you to buy vegetables and tell you what vegetables Northeasterners can buy and how to buy meat.” Jiang Erdan thought that Yu Dawei didn’t know how to buy vegetables, so he poured wine and gave him instructions.
Yu Dawei first sighed, then nodded: "Brother Erdan is right."
"Dawei, do you have time tomorrow?" Jiang Shang asked, picking up his wine glass and looking up at Yu Dawei with a smile.
"Uh, it's nothing." Yu Da wasn't in a hurry about his own affairs. After all, his older brother Yu Daren was helping him find ways to get help, wasn't he?
"Since there's nothing else going on, come with me tomorrow. I'm planning to propose to your sister-in-law in a very formal way, and you can be my witness!" Jiang Shang couldn't hide his joy at this moment, as happy as a child about to receive a toy.
Upon hearing this, Yu Dawei paused for a second, then nodded and patted his chest, saying, "No problem! Brother, you didn't even tell me about something this big beforehand."
Yu Dawei was conflicted again at this moment.
"I just booked this place this morning, and I haven't even told other friends yet. You're the first one." Jiang Shang took a bite of the water spinach; it tasted pretty good.
Yu Dawei nodded silently, glanced at the food Jiang Shang was picking up, and made his decision in secret.
After all, they were brothers who grew up in the same village. Although there was a big age difference between them, he remembered that when he went to the Fifth Team Village as a child, he received a lot of care from Jiang Erdan.
Whether it's the bond of being from the same hometown or past favors, Zhou Zhou is right; no man can tolerate such a thing.
If it were him, Yu Dawei, he would also want to know.
So, let's begin!
"Eat more, Brother Erdan. These dishes were taught to me by the locals. They say they taste better this way." Yu Dawei put another piece of bok choy on Jiang Shang's plate.
Then he picked up a chopstickful of garlic sprouts, followed by a chopstickful of bamboo shoot tips.
"Mmm! I must say, it's really delicious! It's the same dish, but yours is much tastier than the ones from the South." Jiang Erdan ate the food Yu Dawei had put on his plate, smiled happily, and then said to Yu Dawei, "Don't just eat by myself, you eat some too!"
"You eat, you eat, I don't need to eat." Yu Dawei continued to put food on Jiang Erdan's plate.
"Huh?" Jiang Erdan looked up at Yu Dawei with a somewhat blank expression.
"Well, what I mean is, you should eat more of this turtle. I don't need any." Yu Dawei picked up a piece of turtle from the turtle and chicken stew and put it into Jiang Erdan's bowl.
"Hey brother, that's why we say we're from the same village. Let me tell you, after all these years of wandering around, there are so few people who truly care about you." Jiang Erdan was a little touched, picked up his glass and clinked it with Yu Dawei's, "Come on, brother, let's have a drink!"
"Alright! Let's have a drink!" Yu Dawei said with a sigh as he drank.
It seems the first round of the food-picking activity was not very effective; it seems Erdan hasn't thought about that approach yet.
Then, Yu Dawei stared at the plate of turtle stewed chicken in the middle, and had another idea. He reached out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken, and put it into his bowl.
"Brother, you don't know, of all the dishes on this table, this chicken is the most amazing." Yu Dawei picked up the chicken's head and started gnawing on it.
"What do you mean? Is there anything else to say about this little chick you bought?" Jiang Erdan's face flushed slightly after downing a glass of wine.
Yu Dawei first finished the wine in his cup, then pointed to the turtle stewed with chicken in the middle and said, "This chicken was freshly killed today, and the meat is the most tender. The chicken seller told me that it doesn't need to be stewed for too long, two is enough! If it's stewed for too long, the chicken will lose its flavor."
