Chapter 120 Director Mou
Qiu Huoming passed by the staff compound at the east gate and stopped by to throw the white mixed river fish he had caught to his eldest sister. Chen Suniang and Qiu Jianshe were not at home. They had already finished get off work at this time and were probably on their way back.
"Where's your uncle's address?" Qiu Huoming asked after riding his bike out of the compound.
"County guest house."
Qiu Huoming was stunned. "Why doesn't your uncle live at home? Why does he want to live in a guesthouse?"
"My grandmother's house only has one bedroom and one living room, so there's not enough room for him. Besides, the guesthouse is close to where he works."
"If we stay at the hotel and send fish, won't it be difficult to cook?"
"We'll treat all the canteens. My uncle loves fish the most, so he will definitely be very happy."
The guesthouse is located on a street slightly north of the west gate. There are many government agencies nearby.
Qiu Huoming took a shortcut.
The environment of the county guesthouse is nice. It is a unit under the county party committee and ordinary people cannot afford to stay there. After Qiu Huoming parked the car, he followed Gu Xiaoran to the front desk carrying the fish.
When I got to the front desk, I heard Gu Xiaoran ask, "Excuse me, is Director Mou back?"
"You're back." The receptionist seemed to recognize her. "Just go in."
Gu Xiaoran turned around, took the fish from Qiu Huoming and said, "Wait for me for a moment..."
"Okay, I'll wait for you where I came in." Qiu Huoming turned and walked out of the hall, wandering near his car.
This family is quite strange. His uncle's surname is Mou, but he thought it was Gu. It seems that he is probably his cousin or something like that.
After a while, Gu Xiaoran was seen walking out empty-handed.
"I've sent you off. Let's go and have dinner. You've worked hard today." She tilted her head slightly and looked at Qiu Huoming with a smile.
"Why are you so polite? It's scary." Qiu Huoming unlocked the car and got in. Gu Xiaoran sat in the back seat skillfully.
The car drove towards the gate of the guesthouse.
A middle-aged man poked his head out of the south-facing room on the second floor of the guesthouse. He stared at the backs of Qiu Huoming and Gu Xiaoran as they left, muttering, "It's over. Is this girl in a premature love relationship?"
"Hey, classmate Gu, why is your uncle's surname Mou?" Qiu Huoming was riding his bike towards the cross street. He couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked as he rode.
"He has my grandmother's last name."
"Oh, that's how it is." Qiu Huoming suddenly realized.
"You have a good relationship with your uncle."
"It's pretty good, but unfortunately, he is the same as me..." The little girl's tone was a little depressed.
Qiu Huoming could tell that she was in a bad mood, so he quickly changed the subject.
The small restaurant is near the cross street, located in an alley behind the post office. It is an old-style residential building with a front hall cut out to serve as a storefront. The space inside is not big, similar to a fly restaurant, and the light inside is very dim.
Chunsheng’s Post Office Type 28 truck was parked at the door, but Ding Yu’s car was nowhere to be seen.
Qiu Huoming and Gu Xiaoran walked in.
"Here!" Hearing the noise, Chunsheng poked his head out of the small room inside and shouted at them.
"Coming, coming." Qiu Huoming and Gu Xiaoran walked in one after the other.
The room was not big, with a round table on it, two cups of water on it, and a plate of dried and fried peanuts next to it. In addition to Chunsheng, there was also a young girl.
A fan in the corner was blowing hard, making a "whooshing" sound.
"My wife, you can just call her sister-in-law." Chunsheng happily introduced the girl.
"Hello, sister-in-law." Qiu Huoming and Gu Xiaoran called out in unison.
The young girl blushed immediately and said angrily, "Don't listen to him, call me Sister Fangfang."
"Okay, okay, you can call me whatever you want. Wife, he is the writer Qiu I mentioned, and the one next to him is classmate Gu."
Chunsheng was in a good mood and spoke more cheerfully.
After introducing them, Chunsheng walked quickly to the door and shouted towards the yard, "Aunt Ma, bring two more cups over."
There was a kitchen in the yard, and a middle-aged woman's voice came out, "Okay, wait a minute, can the food be served?"
Chunsheng was about to speak when he heard some noise at the door. He caught a glimpse of Ding Yu and Li Ming jumping out of the car. He quickly shouted, "Serve the food, serve the food, and bring two more cups."
The round table is just right for six people to sit on.
The first dish was fried sparrow meat with pickles, and the second dish was braised river dumplings. It was a big plate full of them, and each person was given a big bowl of rice.
"Brother Chunsheng, this will cost a lot of money, right?" Qiu Huoming asked.
"I caught the sparrow myself and put it here last night. We caught the fish and we just paid you a labor fee, which is not much money. After all, it was you who got the fish. Hahahaha, Taozi's face..." Chunsheng spoke cheerfully and told his wife what happened on the boat today.
Sister Fangfang also covered her mouth and laughed.
"You guys are all younger than me, so you all have to call me brother. Relax and eat."
Chunsheng first picked up a piece of fish for Fangfang, and then greeted everyone.
Ding Yu laughed and said, "I have already offered this bird meat, so I won't be polite..."
With him taking the lead, the atmosphere soon became lively.
Ding Yu was familiar with this area. Halfway through the meal, he wiped sweat from his forehead. He disliked the taste of the water, so he ran out and brought back six bottles of soda. He knocked on the edge of the table and capped the bottles. One bottle per hand.
"Brother Chunsheng is treating me to a meal, so I'll treat you to a soda."
"This Auntie Ma is a really good cook!" Ding Yu was a little tempted, "Hey, guys, if I were the 19th, I would invite her to cook for us, would she be willing?"
"That's not good. If your mother knew that you dislike her cooking skills, she would definitely beat you up." Qiu Huoming stretched out his foot and kicked Ding Yu hard under the table.
Ding Yu's father's position is such that he attracts a lot of attention and he shouldn't show off. Moreover, in this era, if someone invites a chef from outside to cook for their child's birthday, it would be like handing a knife to the opponent.
Ding Yu felt pain on his feet and understood immediately.
"I just mentioned it casually. Hey, eat fish. This is the fish designated by Wenquxing..."
Gu Xiaoran had originally divided half of the rice in his bowl with Ding Yu and Qiu Huoming. He had almost finished his meal when Sister Fangfang, who was sitting next to him, warmly invited him to eat several pieces of fish and sparrow meat. His bowl was piled high again.
"Sister Fangfang, please stop serving me food. I don't have a big appetite. Please serve some food to Brother Chunsheng. I think he's going to get mad..."
Gu Xiaoran quickly shifted the blame to someone else.
Chunsheng laughed secretly and cooperated, "Daughter-in-law, I want to eat that piece of fish..."
Nowadays, people don't have any dietary restrictions and can eat wild game at will. There is little sparrow meat, so it has to be fried until even the bones are crispy, and then stir-fried with Chinese mustard pickles and a little chili. Without adding any salt, the taste is already extremely delicious.
There is no need to say much about the Jiangtuan, it is braised with a rich sauce flavor and is sticky when you put it in your mouth. The fish meat has the unique firmness of carnivorous fish, and it is perfect to eat with rice.
The room was not big and everyone was eating enthusiastically. The fan was blowing hot air at noon. Qiu Huoming wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a sip of soda, which made him feel a little better.
"After you have a good meal, I'll treat you to some popsicles, as a courtesy." Qiu Huoming suggested.
Li Ming was full. He rubbed his stomach and yelled, "I don't care. I just came here to eat and drink..."
