Chapter 388: Bastard Hen
Du Fei and Zhou Peng left Jin's house on bicycles side by side.
The two of them had a tacit understanding. They didn't mention Jin's family on the road, nor did they talk about Du Fei buying a house.
While chatting in random directions, we rode our bicycles and walked straight to the west.
Exit Fuxingmen, go to Gongzhufen, and then turn south.
Just along Fuxing Road, there is a government compound for both young and old.
Going further south it becomes increasingly deserted.
Approaching the edge of the lotus pond, Zhou Peng and Du Fei stopped at the entrance of a courtyard.
This is a typical farmhouse, with an area similar to that of Wei Duzi's family.
The courtyard door is open, and from a distance you can see white steam coming out from inside.
Zhou Peng locked his bicycle and said to Du Fei, "Brother, this place is not easy to find!"
Du Fei saw that he was pretending and refused to say what he was going to eat, so he simply followed him into the courtyard patiently.
Seeing the two of them coming in, a middle-aged man immediately came up to them, pulled off the white towel on his shoulders and wiped his hands, saying, "Comrades, please come in~"
Du Fei looked at this man, he looked like a shopkeeper before liberation.
Zhou Peng said, "Give me a piece of your signboard. I want a big one!"
The man looked at Zhou Peng's style. Although he was not a familiar customer, he must have been here before and knew his family's background. He smiled and said, "Okay~ Just wait inside and I'll be here soon."
Zhou Peng nodded, led Du Fei into the courtyard, and walked directly to the west wing.
There are three rooms in the west wing, which have been converted into three private rooms.
Zhou Peng took the lead and entered the innermost private room.
The furnishings inside are quite simple, just an Eight Immortals table and a few chairs.
Except for the tables and chairs, everything else didn't look very clean. There was a layer of dust on the window sill and no one wiped it.
Du Fei looked at it and felt strange.
A hotel like this has no location and no service
, the only reason for survival is that the food is well cooked and always attracts repeat customers.
This made Du Fei a little curious as to what was so special here.
Zhou Peng smiled and asked Du Fei to sit down.
Because there was no stove in the room, neither of them took off their coats.
The two chatted while waiting for the food to be served.
After a short while, a young man brought over a few cold dishes and a pot of loose wine, and said respectfully, "Masters, please take it easy, the bastard will have it soon."
When Du Fei heard this, he immediately understood.
After a long quarrel, Zhou Peng wanted to treat him to a turtle.
But speaking of it, the beginning of spring is really a good time to eat turtles.
After hibernating for several months, the fat on the turtle's body has been almost consumed, and it is not so fatty. The meat is also chewy and nutritious.
Zhou Penghun didn't care about being exposed, he laughed and said, "How's it going? It's funny, buddy!"
After saying that, he took a cup and poured Du Fei a glass of wine. "Their cold dishes are also good. The turtle will be ready for a while. Let us drink first."
Du Fei was good at everything. It was not the first time that he and Zhou Peng went out to eat, and they got along very casually.
After finishing two glasses of wine, Zhou Peng also mentioned what happened just now, "Brother, you really shocked me today! There are not many people in the capital who can take over the yard of Lao Jin's house!"
Du Fei said, "Don't flatter me. It's just a bargain. The Jin family is in a hurry to leave, so they only asked for twenty dollars. I counter-offered five dollars, and I was ready to talk again. Who knew he would agree."
Zhou Peng curled his lips and said, "You're lucky, if you had known, I would have struck first."
Du Fei was not polite and retorted, "I see~ you
It’s not that you don’t want to take action, you just want to wait for them to leave, so you can just fight with nothing~”
Zhou Peng was stunned for a moment, Du Fei's words really hit his mark.
No one knows better than him what is going on with the Jin family this time.
Once you run away, you will definitely never come back, and the remaining house will be ownerless.
But I didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway and Du Fei would be cut off.
But Zhou Peng didn't pay much attention to it. He wasn't determined to win the yard.
This can only be said to be a coincidence.
Du Fei said, "Brother Zhou, if you particularly like that yard, I can give it to you." ??
Zhou Peng said "cut" and said, "Give it to me for free?"
Du Fei said unceremoniously, "I want to eat shit! Five sticks, how to get in, how to get out, I don't think I'm taking advantage of you."
Zhou Peng said, "Then don't."
Du Fei curled his lips and said, "You're the one who's wrong! Don't pull him down, then I'll keep it to myself."
"Preparing a golden house to hide your beauty?" Zhou Peng winked and said, "It's such a big yard with dozens of rooms. Be careful not to get kidney deficiency."
Du Fei nodded solemnly, "That's because we can't fit it in the house, so we need to open an outhouse."
Zhou Peng laughed and said, "You said you were fat and you were out of breath..."
The two of them were having fun when the middle-aged man from before came in carrying a steaming large casserole and shouted, "Be careful~"
Du Fei and Zhou Peng looked at it together.
I saw a few slices of cut turtle lid floating on the clear soup in the pot, and some minced coriander, but not much meat.
The man put down the casserole and continued, "The turtles that were killed this morning were stewed for two hours in the turtle soup."
Zhou Peng immediately took a bowl and filled the soup, "Here, drink the soup first."
<
br> Du Fei also filled a bowl and took a sip. It was really delicious!
The clear soup in the pot was short of water, so he casually asked, "Brother Zhou, where is the turtle meat? We can't just drink the soup~"
Zhou Peng took a sip of the hot soup and replied, "Wait a moment, the meat will be braised with the old hen, it will come soon."
Sure enough, before the two bowls of soup were finished, the young man who served the dishes came up with a large enamel basin.
The turtle and chicken pieces inside were bright red and very tempting.
Du Fei was not polite and took a piece with chopsticks. He took a bite and it was a little spicy, which suited his taste.
The turtle meat was also cooked just right, chewy, not overcooked, and had a chewy texture.
"Brother Zhou, it tastes good!" Du Fei praised while eating.
Zhou Peng kept using his chopsticks and laughed, "Of course! The place I like can't be bad! Come on, let's go..."
The two foodies ate and drank at the same time. When they saw a small pot of meat coming up, they finished half of it in a blink of an eye, and then they slowed down a little.
Du Fei brought up the previous topic again, and asked knowingly, "Brother Zhou, from what you said just now, you still have connections in Hong Kong?"
Zhou Peng said vaguely, "It's okay~ What? Are you interested?"
Du Fei shook his head and said, "What interest do I have~ I'm a good person, I'm just curious."
Zhou Peng snorted contemptuously, "Actually, there's nothing to be curious about. It's a place of decadence and decadence. It's not a good place."
Du Fei filled a glass of wine for him, "Have you been there?"
Zhou Peng nodded, "I've been there several times."
Du Fei stopped asking.
Zhou Peng's Hong Kong connection will definitely be useful in the future, but there is no need to rush, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
