Chapter 209 Snake Gallbladder
Seeing this, Xu Yiyi realized how reckless he had been.
He couldn't help but look ashamed and said softly.
"I'm sorry for being abrupt. I hope you two won't blame me."
She bowed slightly and handed over the silver.
Take the things and get off the boat with Sihai A Yue.
The stall owner's nephew heard the noise and looked up, only to see the corner of a piece of clothing.
Xu Yiyi's words left a certain weight in the stall owner's nephew's heart.
When I was working, sweat ran down my face and it felt itchy, but I didn't dare to touch it casually like before.
When Xu Yiyi returned to the restaurant with the things she had bought, she saw Xu Anyang helping Lao Lu deal with the fish offal.
"old road!"
The old man was sitting on a small stool with his legs stretched out, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and taking a big gulp from time to time.
The wine flowed down his scraggly beard and wet his collar.
In the basin beside it, fish offal was piled up in a mess, emitting a fishy smell, and it was obvious that it had not been touched.
When he heard Xu Yiyi's voice, Lao Lu was startled and hurriedly hid the wine bottle behind him.
He swiftly moved the small stool closer to the fish offal on the ground, picked up a pair of scissors, and pretended to start dealing with the fish offal.
At the same time, he was desperately winking at Xu Anyang, the helper next to him.
He muttered something.
"What are you still standing there for, kid? Go clean up the lobby and get ready to welcome guests. You've been slacking off all day!"
Xu Anyang was also a smart guy. He suppressed his laughter and responded.
They left quickly, leaving only Lao Lu there, looking at Xu Yiyi with a flattering face while facing a pile of fish offal.
"Drinking is fine, but if I see you pushing the work onto others next time, you can't stay in the restaurant anymore."
Xu Yiyi was very serious. Lao Lu was not a bad person by nature.
He is just too lazy. If it weren't for the fact that he knows martial arts and can keep watch at night, he would be in trouble.
She wasn't willing to let him stay.
Lao Lu was startled and shrank his neck in fear.
Xu Yiyi never asked him to leave when she was angry before, but it was obvious that she was really angry this time.
Lao Lu is reluctant to leave, as this is the place he carefully selected for his retirement.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I won't do this again next time."
Lao Lu spoke softly, but Xu Yiyi snorted coldly and ignored him.
……
After Xu Anyang entered the lobby, he opened the doors and windows for ventilation, and the wind chimes at the door rang crisply.
After a while, a diner came in.
"Have you started cooking today's fish soup?"
Hearing the shouting, Xu Anyang poked his head out from the second floor.
"I'll start boiling it right away, just wait!"
When the guest heard this, a smile instantly broke out on his face and he spoke hurriedly.
"Leave five for me. I'll come get them after I deliver the food. Don't sell out!"
Then he picked up the vegetables and left.
Three or four more people came later to wait for the fish soup.
The fish soup made by Xu Yiyi is different from the one sold at the dock.
Fish maw, fish bladder, fish roe, fish liver, fish skin and fish intestines will not have a fishy smell if they are handled well.
Heat the pan with cold oil, add shredded ginger, minced garlic, and chopped pickled peppers and stir-fry until fragrant, allowing the aroma to fully release.
After processing the fish offal, turn to medium heat and fry slowly.
Fry until the fish offal changes color and the surface is slightly charred. This will make the fish offal taste better and remove the fishy smell better.
Add the soup base made from whitebait and simmer for a while to season.
Add some old tofu, sauerkraut and vermicelli, and it will become more fragrant the longer you stew it.
If you can handle spicy food, add a spoonful of chili oil and it will be so fragrant that you can’t walk.
And it’s not expensive, only two cents a bowl.
Neighbors sell several copies at a time.
When I get home, I cook some rice and soak it in soup, or steam some buns.
Simple, delicious and doesn't cost much.
Since opening this restaurant, Xu Yiyi started selling this fish soup.
As a result, its popularity has increased.
……
By the time the fish soup was ready, it was time for dinner and customers started to come to the restaurant.
Sihai originally wanted to take Wuyuan to work in the lobby, but was ruthlessly rejected by his eldest sister.
The child walked over angrily and happened to see the stall owner and his nephew who came to eat.
The child immediately and enthusiastically led people to their seats.
"Do you work here?"
The stall owner Wu Fengan looked at it curiously. When he got off the boat, he thought that if he met this child, he would just return the clothes to him.
But I never expected to see someone as soon as I came in.
"This is my family's restaurant! What would you like to eat? My eldest sister is an excellent cook and can cook all kinds of seafood. If you want something fresh and different, that's fine. My eldest sister will catch them directly from the sea, but it will cost extra."
Sihai said with a laugh.
He pointed to the wooden sign above the counter, on which were written many names of dishes.
"Your eldest sister went into the sea?"
The stall owner's nephew Wu Ruiming suddenly spoke, unable to resist his curiosity.
When I first saw Xu Yiyi, she looked like a healthy young lady, and what impressed me most was her beauty.
He subconsciously thought that Xu Yiyi was a spoiled girl.
But I never expected to hear a different answer from this child.
"Yes! My eldest sister is amazing. Many of the ingredients in the restaurant are caught by my eldest sister. Even though you haven't encountered one, my eldest sister even brought back a manta ray before the typhoon."
Sihai said this proudly, his eyes lit up instantly and his back straightened.
"You two, since you're not from here, don't know how amazing my eldest sister is!"
Sihai couldn't help but continue speaking, his voice getting a little louder, waving his hands in the air and describing vividly.
"In this sea, there are few who can swim better than my sister. You old people from other places, when you see the rough sea, your legs will go weak, right?"
Sihai asked, and Wu Ruiming couldn't help but nod.
It’s true. I have lived in the mountains since I was a child.
I saw a lot of new things on this trip.
Sailing from the river into the sea is completely different.
On the river, the boat sails smoothly and the water flows gently.
There is endless greenery on both sides of the river, and occasionally drooping willow branches brush against the side of the boat, making it quiet and comfortable.
From time to time, you can hear the lively sounds on both sides of the river.
But once you are on the sea, it is a completely different and shocking scene.
Gazing into the distance, where the water meets the sky, it is impossible to tell which is the sea and which is the sky. It is so vast that it makes people dizzy.
The waves came one after another, hitting the hull. The boat was like a swaying leaf, being thrown high into the air and then sinking rapidly.
The sea breeze whistled in my ears, and my hair was blown wildly as I stood on the plywood. The salty sea water splashed on my face, stinging my eyes.
Every time the ship shook violently, the fear of being swallowed by the sea quietly crept into my heart.
In addition, the wind and waves were too strong, and Wu Ruiming vomited to death as soon as he got to the sea.
When the typhoon came, it took me several days to recover.
Now, when she heard the child in front of her praising her elder sister, she was completely unconvinced.
I was scared when I saw the sea water, but there were actually women who dared to jump into the sea.
When Sihai heard Wu Ruiming's agreement, he quickly spoke again.
"My eldest sister is different. As my great-grandmother said, she was born to be a favorite of the sea. Like a fish, she can dive in and catch a lot of seafood in no time.
Many of those delicious crabs and plump fish are caught by my eldest sister herself, just to ensure that our restaurant ingredients are fresh and delicious."
As he spoke, Sihai raised his head high and looked around, with such pride, as if he was saying that he had a peerless hero in his family.
Sihai kept talking, but Wu Fengan and Wu Ruiming just thought he was just bragging.
"Give me a serving of steamed shrimp and crab, fish ball and scallop soup, spicy wine-soaked conch, fried oyster cakes, and two servings of the fish soup sold at the door."
Wu Fengan looked at it for a long time and then spoke.
Sihai sent the menu back to the kitchen in the backyard.
"Here are your clothes. Thank you for today."
Wu Ruiming is a somewhat introverted person.
I saw Sihai pass the menu and then go to the counter to take the bill, but he didn't come out for a long time.
After hesitating for a long time, I finally mustered up the courage to walk over to the counter.
"No thanks, no thanks. It's Haibin who's such a mean kid. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be... laughed at."
Sihai's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, feeling a little embarrassed.
Wu Ruiming forced a smile.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Let others laugh if they want to."
As Wu Ruiming spoke, he still felt a little depressed.
It's impossible to say that I don't care.
Because of this neck, his parents began to distance themselves from him unintentionally.
Even his old friends didn't dare to associate with him.
After enduring for so many years, he finally went out to do business with his uncle.
"My second sister's master is a very capable medical officer. Can I help find him?"
Sihai's eyes were shining and his face was full of kindness.
He is one of the few people who has been friendly to Wu Ruiming since he got the thing on his neck.
"No... no, this can't be cured."
Wu Ruiming smiled and refused. He even went to see a famous medical officer in Luoyang City to check out his neck.
It still doesn't make any sense.
I had acupuncture and took the medicine.
But the neck is still getting bigger.
He didn't want to bother anymore.
Now that my neck is getting bigger and bigger, even breathing in and out, and simply swallowing saliva are difficult.
He was afraid that his time was running out.
"Don't you believe it? My second sister's master is really, really powerful."
Sihai sounded a little anxious and got down from the stool.
Just as I was about to go to the clinic to find someone, the next moment Old Wu brought Er'er to the clinic.
This is to estimate the time to eat.
"Grandpa Yun! I was just about to go look for you..."
Sihai stopped and said happily.
"Why are you looking for me? Did your elder sister catch something good again? Or is there something else delicious?"
Mr. Wu said this casually, walked to the counter and touched the child's head.
"No, big sister, I have something to talk to you about."
Sihai anxiously pulled the corner of Mr. Wu's clothes and stood in front of Wu Ruiming.
"How is this going?"
Old Wu raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man with a scarf around his neck in front of him.
The moment their eyes met, Old Wu looked indifferent and calm.
Wu Ruiming's heart tightened, like a child who had made a mistake.
He took only one look and then hastily lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes trembling, revealing his panic.
He quickly looked away and lowered his eyes to look at his hands, but his ears turned red uncontrollably.
"Grandpa Yun, please treat him."
Sihai patted Wu Ruiming's hand with his chubby little hands.
Old Wu's eyes scanned Wu Ruiming up and down, finally stopping on his neck.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
Wu Ruiming waved his hands quickly, subconsciously pressed the cloth around his neck, and prepared to leave.
The stall owner, Wu Fengan, was originally chatting with the diners at the table next to him.
As soon as he heard the noise here, he stood up immediately, strode forward and pulled Wu Ruiming behind him.
"Thank you all for your kindness. I'm afraid my nephew's illness is incurable. It seems..."
Wu Fengan swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"In short, we don't want to bother with this anymore."
Wu Fengan said helplessly, pulling the person away.
"Wait, if you keep dragging your neck down, you're going to die. Aren't you already short of breath?"
Mr. Wu said sternly, and several people standing by the counter attracted a lot of attention.
Wu Ruiming nodded unconsciously.
"If you still want to live, come to the backyard."
As Mr. Wu spoke, he signaled Er'er to follow.
Wu Ruiming lowered his eyes and said something, and Wu Fengan looked at his nephew with heartache.
But he didn't urge him.
"If not... let's try again! That doctor seems quite capable. He saw your condition with just one look. Maybe he really can cure you."
Wu Fengan saw the inner struggle of his nephew.
Finally, he spoke up to give some advice.
The two looked at each other and went to the backyard.
People all over the world saw something exciting and naturally would not miss it.
He walked with his short legs to Xu Anyang, who was selling fish soup at the door, and looked at him with pitiful eyes.
She pouts and acts coquettishly.
"Want to go see it?"
Xu Anyang looked down at the child and asked.
Sihai nodded quickly.
"Then go!"
Xu Anyang waved his hand, and Sihai happily hugged Xu Anyang when he heard this.
Then he ran to the backyard happily.
……
Xu Yiyi leaned out of the kitchen to look, and saw Old Wu and Er'er walking in.
I was just about to invite them to dinner.
Then I saw two unexpected people appear in the backyard of the restaurant.
"This is?"
Xu Yiyi spoke with some doubt.
Wu Ruiming smiled shyly at Xu Yiyi as a greeting.
"Sister, my master wants to treat this young man."
Er'er explained to her elder sister.
Xu Yiyi was even more confused. Just now on the boat, the two of them seemed very shy about this.
He was reluctant to even mention it, but now he was willing to let Mr. Wu see it.
Just as she was thinking about it, Wu Ruiming raised his hand slightly panicked.
With trembling fingers, he untied the cloth around his neck.
As the cloth slowly slid off, a swollen and protruding neck was exposed to everyone's eyes. The skin was stretched and shiny, and the blue veins were faintly visible, forming a sharp contrast with the healthy skin color around it.
He looked at Mr. Wu timidly, his eyes full of expectation and anxiety.
Old Wu first gently lifted Wu Ruiming's chin, carefully looked at the swollen area, gently pressed it with his fingers, frowned slightly while pressing, as if trying to find out the severity of the disease.
"Silver Needle!"
As soon as Mr. Wu opened his mouth, Er'er immediately took out the silver needle from his bag.
