The Peasant Gourment Chef - Chapter 33

With Zhang Tieshan’s size, Li Hehua guessed that his appetite should not be small, so he gave him more than 30 dumplings, and the little guy could eat six or seven.

Li Hehua put a large bowl of dumplings on the table, and mixed a bowl of dipping sauce for the father and son, “You can eat it first, there is still in the pot, I will serve it for you after eating.”

After explaining the father and son, Li Hehua didn’t have time to say anything else, so he turned around and went to work.

Zhang Tieshan glanced at the dumplings in front of him, his eyes couldn’t help looking at Li Hehua’s busy figure, and an inexplicable emotion flashed through his eyes.

Feeling a pair of small hands pulling at his clothes, Zhang Tieshan lowered his head, patted his son’s head, picked up a piece of dumpling with chopsticks and put it to his mouth to cool it, and then sent it to the little guy’s mouth.

The little guy opened his mouth and took a bite, but unfortunately his mouth was too small, and he only took a third of the bite. Zhang Tieshan was not in a hurry, he held the dumplings firmly and waited for the little guy to eat again, until the little guy had eaten one dumpling in three mouthfuls, and then he took time to eat one by himself.

Li Hehua saw Zhang Tieshan feeding the little guy during the busy period, and the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily. This man looks tall and strong, but his heart is actually quite delicate. The gentleness of his son can always move the people who see him. He is a very good father.

A group of people came to the stall one after another. Li Hehua saw that the little guy was taken care of, so he lowered his head and was busy making food. When he stopped again, he remembered Zhang Tieshan and the little guy, and hurriedly looked at them, he saw Zhang Tieshan Sit the little guy in your arms and make room for other guests to sit.

Li Hehua looked into the bowl in front of them, and the dumplings in it had long been eaten.

The little guy was definitely full, but Zhang Tieshan wasn’t sure. Li Hehua walked over to get the bowl in front of them, put the dumplings that were hot in another pot in it, and then put a big bowl full of dumplings on Zhang Tieshan again. In front of him, “Eat it, the dumplings I just ordered for you are not finished yet.”

Zhang Tieshan glanced at the dumplings, but didn’t say anything. He picked up the chopsticks neatly and started eating. This time, he didn’t feed the little guy.

Li Hehua thinks that Zhang Tieshan’s nonchalant temperament is quite good, at least she doesn’t need to bother.

“Oh, sorry, sorry, are you alright?”

At this time, Da He’s voice came from the table next to him. Li Hehua hurriedly looked around and saw that Da He was scrambling to wipe the table with a rag. The Master Gu next to him stood up, and his gown was stained with a lot of soup stains.

Li Hehua hurried over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Da He blamed himself, “I’m sorry Aunt Lotus, I was too frizzy. When I was closing the table, I accidentally spilled the soup and got it on this guest’s clothes. I really…”

Li Hehua didn’t say anything about Dahe. He took out the clean handkerchief on his body and handed it to Master Gu, “Master Gu, I’m so sorry, it was my guy who was careless, please wipe it.”

Gu Zhijin shook his head, “It’s okay, I’ll just wipe it, the boss and the second don’t have to blame themselves, the clothes will be clean when they go back to the wash.”

Seeing Li Hehua handing over the handkerchief, Gu Zhijin took it after thinking about it, but instead of wiping his clothes, he picked up a scroll on the table and gently wiped the stains on the scroll with the handkerchief.

Only then did Li Hehua realize that the scroll that Master Gu brought with him was also stained with soup stains.

Li Hehua was startled and hurriedly asked: “Master Gu, your painting seems to be wet too, please check if it is damaged.” I don’t know if this painting is valuable or not. If it is damaged, I don’t know how much money it will cost Just do it.

Gu Zhijin first wiped off the soup stains on the outside, and then carefully opened the scroll to see what was going on inside. Li Hehua also stretched his head to look, and saw a picture of mountains and fields in front of him. It is beautiful, and there are several large characters “Landing in the Wilderness” written in elegant fonts.

Li Hehua had seen a collection of ink paintings in her grandfather’s study before. At that time, she thought that the painting was very beautiful, and the characters were also very beautiful, but at this moment, she felt that the painting and the characters were not as good as the one in front of her. width.

However, such a good painting was stained with soup stains, and the whole painting was so flawed.

Li Hehua’s brows could not help wrinkling, and he was very remorseful in his heart, “Master Gu, I’m really sorry, this picture of yours was destroyed, but I will compensate. You tell me the price, and I will pay you.”

Gu Zhijin shook his head indifferently, “It’s okay boss, this painting is worthless, it’s just something I did in my spare time. If I destroy it, I can paint it again. It’s not that serious, and the boss doesn’t need to blame himself.”

“This…” Li Hehua didn’t expect this painting to be Master Gu’s own work, but he still felt uneasy.

Gu Zhijin smiled and pointed to the food box on the table, and said, “Boss, you don’t have to blame yourself, it’s really not an important painting. Look, you lent me the bowl every time, and this time you also lent me the food box, and I didn’t give it to me. How about giving you money, this time it’s just a trivial matter, you want to give me money instead?”

Seeing Gu Zhijin’s sincerity, Li Hehua knew that he really didn’t care, and thanked him very much, “Thank you, Master Gu.”

Gu Zhijin waved his hand to show you’re welcome, and slowly rolled up the scroll again. After rolling it up, he lifted the food box and said, “Then boss, I’ll go first, and the food box and bowl will be brought back to you tomorrow.”

Li Hehua nodded, “Master Gu, walk slowly.”

After Gu Zhijin left, Da He lowered his head and looked ashamed, “Aunt Hehua, I’m sorry, I’m so stupid.”

Li Hehua patted him on the shoulder, “It’s alright, you did a good job on the first day, just be more careful next time, don’t think too much, go get busy.”

Dahe nodded, turned around and went back to work.

Li Hehua walked back to Zhang Tieshan’s table again, but saw the little guy with his eyes open, looking not far away, and looking at the figure of Master Gu who was holding a painting scroll and a food box.

Except for the people close to him, the little guy never stared at others. Li Hehua wondered, “Baby, what are you looking at? Are you looking at the master holding the painting just now?”

The little guy still looked at Gu Zhijin’s disappearing figure without blinking.

Li Hehua was puzzled and looked at Zhang Tieshan, wanting to ask him if he knew.

Seeing Li Hehua looking at him inquiringly, Zhang Tieshan said, “He’s not looking at people, he’s looking at the painting.” When the master unfolded the scroll just now, the little guy stared at him with a good look. He didn’t look back when the person walked away, but he didn’t understand why the little guy was staring at the painting.

Li Hehua became clear, and patted the little guy’s head, “Does the baby like the painting just now? If you like it, I will buy a pair for my baby to hang at home when she earns money?”

The little guy then retracted his gaze and looked at her with blinking eyes.

Li Hehua pinched his little nose and asked him, “Are you full, baby?”

The little guy naturally couldn’t speak, but Zhang Tieshan replied on his behalf: “He’s full, he just fed him eight dumplings.”

Eight dumplings are really a lot for children, and the little guy is really full.

Li Hehua nodded and put away their dual-use bowls and chopsticks.

At this time, the meal was over, the stall gradually disappeared, and there were fewer people on the street. Li Hehua made some noodles for lunch. After eating with Dahe, all the customers in the stall had left.

Li Hehua began to close the stall.

First, put the pots and pans on the cart, Dahe transported the things back, and after a while, he pushed the cart back and continued to pull the tables, chairs and benches.

Zhang Tieshan was still sitting on the table, and Li Hehua hesitated to ask him to go back. After all, they had already closed the stall, and the table was going to be taken home.

Not thinking about what to say, Li Hehua moved the empty table to the cart first, but the table was too heavy, she staggered and almost fell, so scared that she hurriedly put it down, ready to carry it with Dahe, But as soon as it was put down, Zhang Tieshan moved the table beside him. He rolled up his sleeves, lifted the table up, and put it on the cart with ease.

He was helping her move the table.

Li Hehua was surprised, but she was too embarrassed to ask him to help her. After all, they couldn’t even be friends now, so he hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, “Don’t be too busy, Zhang Tieshan, we can do it ourselves, you can take a look at it for me. Shulin will be fine.”

Zhang Tieshan glanced at Li Hehua’s hand holding his sleeve, and said nothing, turned around and raised a table again and put it on the cart.

Li Hehua: “…” Why is this person still rushing to work? Is there something wrong with your brain?

Dahe also stood on the side and couldn’t get in, watching Zhang Tieshan moving things in a daze, his eyes moved to his strong arm muscles, admiring and envious. This eldest brother is really amazing. Such a heavy table is lifted up at once, as easily as if there is no weight on his hands. It is obvious that he is struggling to move it.

With such a stupefied effort, Zhang Tieshan put all the tables, chairs, and benches on the cart. The piles were very dense, and there was no wasted space at all. It happened that he could pull them all back with just one cart.

Li Hehua opened his mouth, not knowing what to say at this moment, thank you?

After Zhang Tieshan moved the table and chairs, he picked up Shulin and stuffed it into Li Hehua’s arms. Then he pushed the cart and walked towards the alley. He didn’t let anyone help him push it at all. It was easy to push it alone.

Li Hehua blinked, standing still and didn’t move, Dahe didn’t know what to do, because he took his own life.

Seeing that the two of them didn’t move, Zhang Tieshan turned his head to look at Li Hehua, frowned slightly, and spit out two words: “Lead the way.”

Li Hehua conditioned reflex “Oh”, hugged Shulin to lead the way, but felt strange in his heart, obviously the two of them were quite arrogant before, didn’t Zhang Tieshan hate her very much? How could she be willing to help her now?

Zhang Tieshan pushed the cart back to Li Hehua’s small courtyard, glanced around the small courtyard lightly, patted the little guy’s head, said “I’m leaving” to Li Hehua, and then left the small courtyard and left.

Li Hehua felt that today’s Zhang Tieshan was really incomprehensible, but it wasn’t a big deal. If he couldn’t figure it out, he left it behind and took care of himself to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow.

On the way home, Zhang Tieshan was equally uneasy.

He was quite sure that the current Li Hehua was not the original Li Hehua, and the two were fundamentally different.

Today, he came to the town to sell prey, remembering that Shulin was with Li Hehua, he came here to take a look, and then saw Shulin standing by her lap, and she was cooking all kinds of food, occasionally bowing her head to Shulin. What are you talking about, that look is really gentle, completely different from the obese, arrogant and shameless woman in his memory, he couldn’t help staring at her for a long time, looking at her, he even felt that the two of them seemed to have faces. It also gradually changed.

Yes, this woman has lost a lot of weight. She is no longer as obese as she used to be, and her appearance has also changed.

Just as he was watching, he didn’t expect her to see him too, let alone that she would come over with Shulin and invite him to sit and eat. He nodded and agreed without thinking at the time.

The dumplings she made were really delicious. He had never eaten such delicious dumplings before. Such cooking skills were not something that the original Li Hehua could have.

His original suspicion was completely confirmed after hearing Xiao Er say that the words on the menu were written by her.

She is not Li Hehua.

If a person changes again, his personality will not change drastically in a short period of time, right? Can’t you learn to write in a short period of time? There are no books at home, not even a piece of paper, and Li Hehua doesn’t know any scholar, how could he learn to write?

After thinking about this, all the strange things can suddenly be explained. Although he thought this idea was ridiculous, he somehow believed that she was really not Li Hehua.

Who is she then? Lonely ghost upper body? Then why is it so good to Shulin?

Zhang Tieshan’s eyes darkened, and he suddenly wanted to understand.

At this time, Li Hehua didn’t know that Zhang Tieshan had guessed her details. She was busy preparing tomorrow’s ingredients with Sister Xie. After everything was ready, she put the little guy on the table to play, while she counted today. income.

Today’s income is put into a single wooden box, and all are poured out.

Li Hehua slowly counted them one by one, stringing them together with a string each time he counted 100. It took about half a quarter of an hour to count them all. Today, he earned a total of 504 cents. One hundred and twelve cents, minus the cost, today’s income is almost half of the two silvers.

In this era when a tael of silver is enough for a farm family to live for a few months, earning more than half of the tael a day is actually a lot, but for a person like Li Hehua who wants to buy a house and want to open a shop, it is still far from enough. I hope the business of the stall will be better in the future.

Li Hehua put the money in the box and locked it, and then said to the little guy who was lying on the table playing: “Baby, mother has finished counting the money, we can go to bed.”

The little guy ignored it and continued to scribble with a pen on his own.

The pen and paper were just taken out by Li Hehua for bookkeeping. Seeing the little guy watching her, he gave him a piece of paper and a pen to scribble at will. Children seem to like the game of scribbling on paper. .

The little guy took a pen, imitated Li Hehua and dipped a little ink, and then he lowered his head and drew on the paper, quite imposing. Seeing that he was rarely willing to play, Li Hehua let him go. If he got ink on his clothes, she would just help him wash it.

“Baby, are you having a good time playing? But we’re going to sleep. Mommy will let you play tomorrow, okay?” Li Hehua walked behind the little guy and planned to put away his pen and paper, but the moment he lowered his head, his heart skipped a beat. Jump a beat.

The paper in front of the little guy was not a random graffiti as she thought, but a painting. Although the lines were messy and some places were stained with ink, it was easy to see that it was a landscape painting. And this landscape map is the one that Master Gu unfolded during the day, and the similarity is almost 70%.

Li Hehua shook his hand, looked down at the little guy holding the pen, and suddenly felt that something had happened in his heart.

What if her son doesn’t seem to be an ordinary child?

Li Hehua sat down, leaned on the edge of the table and watched the little guy continue to draw, feeling a little flustered in his heart.

In modern times, she has heard that children with autism are usually accompanied by a special talent, and these children often have abilities beyond ordinary people in a certain field. She did not expect it to be true, the little guy actually There is also a special talent, and this talent currently seems to be painting.

How can ordinary children draw such landscape paintings? And this was the first time he took a pen and saw a landscape painting for the first time. Isn’t this a genius?

Before, she thought that she had occupied the body of the original owner, so she would be responsible for the child, and seeing the poor little guy, she wanted to make the little guy eat well, sleep well, and be happy every day, but at this moment, she felt as if she couldn’t just let him be. The little guy can eat and drink. The little guy is a genius. Can she delay him? must be cultivated.

But how to cultivate? She has never raised a child, let alone a gifted child. How can she not bury the little guy’s talent?

Li Hehua didn’t know what to do. After much deliberation, he still felt that he had to discuss it with Zhang Tieshan. After all, he was the father of the child. If the child was to be nurtured, the father had to support him.

That night, Li Hehua held the child in his arms and did not fall asleep for a long time. He got up at dawn the next day, carefully put away the picture drawn by the little guy last night and put it on the cart, intending to wait for Zhang Tieshan to come. to tell him.

Zhang Tieshan should be here today, because the little guy has lived with her for three days, and he agreed to stay with her for only three days, so he will come to pick up the little guy today.

Sure enough, at about the same hour as yesterday, Li Hehua saw Zhang Tieshan standing at the place yesterday.

Li Hehua hurriedly waved to him and motioned for him to come over.

Zhang Tieshan hesitated for a moment, but walked over with his legs.

Li Hehua said to him as he was busy with his movements: “Zhang Tieshan, sit down at the table first, and I’ll tell you something when I’m done.”

Zhang Tieshan nodded silently, picked up the little guy and hugged it into his arms, found an empty seat and sat down.

Li Hehua took the time to make a super large portion of beef fried rice for him and the little guy to give him both ends, “You and the little guy eat first, I’ll be busy here for a while, and I’ll tell you when I’m done.”

Zhang Tieshan nodded and lowered his head to feed the little guy.

Li Hehua was busy for another half an hour, and there were fewer guests.

There are more guests today than yesterday. The first day of business was opened yesterday. Most of them are old customers, and there are very few new customers. Probably because yesterday’s food satisfied the eaters, so today not only old customers came, but also many new faces, many of whom came from the pier to rest for dinner, so she was busier today than yesterday.

When the guests gradually dispersed, Li Hehua sat next to Zhang Tieshan with the painting of yesterday’s little guy before he could eat.
