How to transplant gardenias

They walked all the way along the river.In the alley on the side of the main street, there is a small restaurant with a bilingual plaque in Russian and Chinese - Natasha.Yue Fang only led Bai Mo to push open the door, and the wind chime rang.

The meal was a bit overdue, but the small restaurant was steaming hot, and there were still many people sitting there.The boss is a three-haired boy: fair skin, black hair, light-colored eyes, and a stocky build.He wiped his hands on the apron: "Hey, I haven't seen you for a while. Or the third child?"

Yue Fang just rolled up his sleeves: "No, where's the menu?"

The boss took out an old but exquisitely bound menu from under the counter, and put his hands on the table: "Call me to order."

Yue Fang only nodded: "Success, you go first."

Someone in the back kitchen yelled: "The milk mixture is ready!" The boss hurried all the way to serve the guests.

Yue Fang just opened the menu and pushed it to Bai Mo, who looked like he didn't know what to do.He looked at Yue Fangzhi hesitantly, flipped over the menus with his fingers, and then pushed the menus back.

Yue Fang was only surprised and said, "Is there anyone who wants to eat?"

Bai Mo bit his lower lip and pointed to an onion ring.

Yue Fang just sighed: "Then I ordered?"

Bai Mo nodded.

Yue Fang just closed the menu directly: "Boss, order!"

The boss came over with a small notebook: "Speak."

"Onion rings, pickled cucumbers, two servings of red soup..." Yue Fang only turned to Bai Mo: "Beef, lamb, prawns, which one to eat?"

Bai Mo thought for a while, and made a gesture of three.That means eating the third item - prawns.

"Then the canned shrimp can be the same as the canned sheep." Yue Fang just made a decision: "Is there any Sha Yike left today?"

"There are a few more, which were released at noon."

"One sand, one gram, half a serving of Liba. That's all." Yue Fang only added: "Give me more jam, so I don't have to ask you to add it."

"I know." The boss picked up the menu: "Aren't kvass and beer here?"

"Not yet."

The food was served very quickly.Bai Mo frowned from the sourness of the cucumber.Yue Fang only looked at him, no matter how he looked at it, he found it very interesting.It's like having an extra brother.He chewed the crunchy pickles, teasingly said: "Look, if you don't order it, then I can only order what I like."

The boss came over with freshly fried onion rings, and looked at Bai Mo curiously: "Yo, your brother?"

"That's right." Yue Fang just said without shame: "Does it look like me?"

The boss reprimanded him: "Come on, go and look in the mirror yourself."

Yue Fang just laughed.

The onion rings are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, dipped in the sweet and sour tomato sauce, which just relieves the greasy fried food.But after a while, the red soup was served, and the deliciousness of the onion rings was nothing.

Natasha's signature is red soup.The local people make their own red soup and only put tomatoes for coloring, but his family uses beetroot.And in addition to beetroot, there are many spices that are not used when cooking at home.Including the whole process of cutting a pot of soup from beginning to end, it is said that it takes six or seven hours to boil.The taste is naturally more mellow and authentic than that made at home.

The red soup is not served in the kind of two-eared bowl that is only enough for two mouthfuls, but a thick porcelain bowl with a local style.The crimson bisque is topped with crushed dill and sour cream.Scooped in a spoonful, the thick, hot soup base is full of potato cabbage and chunks of crispy stewed beef, with occasional shredded celery and delicious sliced ​​mushrooms.

People with a small appetite, just eat this bowl of soup and some bread, and they will be almost full.

Yue Fang just wiped his hands and broke Sha Yike away.It is a kind of wood-baked spindle-shaped white bread. When it is fresh out of the oven, the outer skin is crisp and hard, but the inside is white and soft, with the unique sour aroma of hop bread.He gave Bai Mo a piece: "I always eat steamed buns, and occasionally change the taste."

Bai Mo took it and started eating slowly.Yue Fang only reminded: "Put it in the soup and soak it before eating." Shayike is not like steamed buns, the hard shell is very firm, even if it is soaked in soup, it will not become soft and sticky. .

Yue Fang only likes to eat this, because the crust of the freshly baked bread is crispy and warm, with a bit of saltiness and the unique sweetness of pasta.Yue Fang only ate very quickly, most of the Sha Yike disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the red soup also bottomed out.

The boss delivered two cans of vegetables in due time.Peel off the puff pastry on the clay pot to reveal the steaming prawn balls and lamb chops.

At this time, I will eat as much as I am happy.Sliced ​​Lebatu jam is also good, or it can be eaten with canned vegetables.Yue Fang only used a spoon to scoop the vegetables, meat and soup onto the bread, blew on the bread, and then ate it with big mouthfuls.

Bai Mo also followed suit.

The two of them were in a hurry, and quickly emptied all the plates and bowls, even the puff pastry on top of the canned vegetables.

Bai Mo finally burped for a long time.He seemed a little embarrassed, and his face turned red.

Yue Fang only ate enough, wiped his mouth, and asked the boss to serve a glass of kvass, which he shared with Bai Mo.

When I went out, there was still light snow outside.Yue Fang felt warm all over, and Bai Mo stopped rubbing his hands and stomping his feet.They walked back along the river.

Yue Fang only asked him if he would eat butter popsicles, and Bai Mo showed a very surprised expression.But when they walked to the door of the store, the popsicles just happened to be sold out, so it was a pity that they had to let it go.

On the way back, Yue Fang only bought a new pair of cotton gloves for Bai Mo.The old one was made of wool, which was obviously too thin for Bai Mo, and couldn't bear the cold at all.

Yue Fang was in a good mood and bought all the fruits and vegetables for the next day along the way.On the side street to the south of Jixiang Street, Cangmai spread out boxes of ice cream popsicles on the ground outside, and many people gathered around to pick them.Yue Fangzhi and Bai Mo also took a small bag, searched among all kinds of popsicles in the place, and finally picked a few popsicles to settle the bill.

They walked through the large and small shop fronts, and saw that many trendy shops were decorated with beautiful little things on the glass.It was only then that Yue Fang realized that Christmas was coming soon.

Of course, we still have to sell steamed buns at Christmas, and it doesn't matter so much if the foreign festival is over.But this year seems to be a little different.Yue Fang just thought, should I live it?At least there is a small bell or something hanging on the door, to join in the fun and celebrate.I don't know if Bai Mo can pinch a Santa Claus.

Of course, Bai Mo didn't know what Yue Fangzhi was thinking.He was carrying a bag of popsicles, his face was flushed, and he looked even more likable.

Almost home, Yue Fang only took out his keys, thinking about what to have for dinner when he suddenly saw a person at the door.

A middle-aged woman in sable was wandering around the door of the bun shop.

Yue Fang's expression darkened immediately, and he said reluctantly, "Third Aunt."

Yue Fangzhi's third aunt saw him and complained, "Where have you been, you're only coming back at this hour... Look at this, I'm freezing, I almost want to leave..."

Yue Fang only smiled but didn't smile, thinking it's a pity, why didn't you freeze your old lady away, if I knew this, I would take Bai Mo to the big bathhouse to spend the night.
