Bringing my kids to set up stalls, I made thousands of people cry with envy

Chapter 315: Do I have to kick my legs to realize how aggrieved I am?
After learning the truth, the uncle slapped his thigh, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Everyone be quiet! Especially you! Big sister! Stop drooling!"

"It's just a bowl of bone soup and freshly made minced meat noodles, how could you be so greedy! You can't even rest in peace after our dad left!"

Everyone:...

What, it’s saliva???
In an instant, the atmosphere in the mourning hall changed from solemn to funny.

The family members looked at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

The old man lay there, as if he was smiling silently.

Okay, the farce is over!
The reading of the eulogy must continue!
The uncle shook his head, picked up the eulogy on the ground, dusted it off, and stood back in front of the mourning hall.

As the funeral music started again, this time, his voice was much louder.

"Father, you were humorous and witty throughout your life, and even at the end you gave us a surprise. Don't worry, we will live well, work hard to move forward, and follow your teachings...

"..."

After reading the eulogy, it is the relatives' turn to come forward to burn incense and kowtow.

The uncle held the incense and lit it tremblingly. The flame jumped up, reflecting the tears on his face.

He took a deep breath, took a step forward, and steadily inserted the incense into the incense burner. Then he knelt down with a "dong" and knocked his forehead heavily on the cushion, muttering to himself.

"Dad, have a safe journey. Everything is fine with our family. Don't worry about me..."

The women also supported each other as they came forward. They cried until their bodies became limp, and when they burned incense, their tears fell into the incense burner. They didn't care that their hair was disheveled or their knees were red from kneeling.

Not long after.

After the farewell ceremony for the deceased, the old man was handed over to the staff.

During this time of waiting, the family members sat together, tears still on their faces, but there was inexplicably a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

By the way, that minced meat powder seemed to be quite fragrant.

The burnt aroma of the meat sauce and the richness of the pork bone broth are simply tempting.

Some people were shy and were too embarrassed to speak due to the occasion and their reputation.

The children, on the other hand, didn't have so many concerns and just cried out that they were hungry.

For a moment, everyone's stomachs were rumbling.

As the manager, the uncle gritted his teeth, stood up and wiped his face.

"Forget it, let's go to the cafeteria and eat something first. Only when you are full will you have the energy to send the old man off."

……

Inside the funeral home cafeteria.

Su Chen stood in front of the stove, slowly stirring the big bone soup with the spoon in his hand.

In the soup bucket, the milky white soup was bubbling, and the essence in the bones became thicker and thicker, with a fragrant aroma.

Someone came to place an order, and Su Chen smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, please show me your meal ticket."

As soon as these words were spoken, the man running in the front scratched his head, looking confused.

After some inquiries, I found out that the funeral package booked by the uncle's family only included free meals for five family members, and others had to buy tickets to dine.

Fortunately, the ticket price is only ten yuan, which is affordable for everyone.

Soon, bowls of steaming minced meat noodles were served on the table.

Bright red chili oil floats on the golden soup, and the brown meat sauce is piled up full, each grain is shiny and full of meaty flavor.

The rice noodles are clearly separated and have absorbed the flavor of the soup. The green onions and coriander sprinkled on top add a touch of vitality.

Just looking at it makes people swallow their saliva.

The uncle's relatives picked up the bowls, not caring about the heat, and lowered their heads to sip.

First, the aroma of the臊子 explodes in your mouth.

The meat pieces are uniform in size and fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you bite into them, the aroma of the fat and the tenderness of the meat burst out instantly, filling your mouth with rich meaty flavor.

The spicy taste of chili oil follows closely behind, bringing a warm and unrestrained energy that instantly makes the taste buds surrender. The rice noodles are not lost in the face of all these strong ingredients. They have their own fragrance of rice and a soft and elastic texture. It can be said that they firmly hold the place in this bowl of noodles.

After a few mouthfuls of hot noodles, tears welled up in everyone's eyes again.

But this time, I couldn’t tell whether I was crying because of the delicious food, or because I was thinking about the warm times when my family sat around for meals in the past.

If the old man were here, he would definitely like this bowl of noodles...

……

On the other side, in an old small office.

"what……"

With the last mouthful of noodle soup.

Lao Wang slammed the empty bowl on the table, feeling so comfortable that heat was coming out of every pore of his body.

Everyone looked sideways, some with their eyes almost glued to the shiny bottom of the bowl, looking a little greedy.

"Old Wang, is this noodle delicious?"

Lao Wang enjoyed the meal. He wiped his mouth happily and asked a question in return.

"What do you think? If it doesn't taste good, I'll lick the bowl until sparks come out."

Another colleague who bought minced meat noodles also nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, this new guy in the cafeteria is really good at cooking. The soup is very fresh and the sauce is also fried fragrantly. After eating a bowl of it, I feel relaxed all over."

"I've lived for fifty years, and this is the first time I've tasted noodles and felt like I was in love for the first time! I strongly recommend that you try it, it's really worth it."

Both of them strongly recommended it, and other old colleagues started to be tempted.

"Okay then, I'll buy one too."

"Let's go, let's go together."

Everyone in the room stood up at once.

Only the security guard, Lao Zhou, was hiding in the corner like a marginalized person, holding the thermos cup pitifully and swallowing the steamed buns with all his strength while the fragrance filled the room.

As an employee, you have to pay for your meals in the cafeteria out of your own pocket.

A bowl of noodles costs ten yuan, but two steamed buns are only one yuan. How could Lao Zhou be willing to spend that money?

If he wasn't forced by life and wanted to earn more, why would he choose to earn "dead people's" money, which is considered unlucky in the eyes of others?

Just thinking about it.

Old Wang wandered over and slapped Old Zhou on his hunched back.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell or are you worried about buying a house for your youngest son?"

Lao Zhou didn't say anything. He lowered his head and pretended to stuff a steamed bun into his mouth.

"I've worked in a funeral home for so many years, can't I let it go? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If the child is capable, you don't need to worry about him. If the child is incapable, no matter how much you leave for him, it will not be enough for him to spend."

"When the kids grow up, they have to make their own way. We are already this old, do we have to wait until the day we die, staring into the urn, to realize how miserable our lives have been?"

"Listen to me, eat when you should, drink when you should. Feel better and stay healthy. This is what we should do most at our age."

After this meal, the room was so quiet that you could hear flies farting.

Lao Zhou was silent.

He knew that the person he slept with every day was his old partner.

But the person who understands him the most is Lao Wang!!!

"Yes, Lao Zhou. Those who use houses as gifts to block marriages are not interested in love. Marrying them may not necessarily make them happy. Good women always put love first."

"That's right, why do you always put yourself in a difficult position? My third brother scrimped and saved money working three jobs to earn money for his son, but that brat turned around and took his girlfriend abroad to hang out! What's the point?"

"Come on, come on, Brother Zhou. We just happened to be going to buy some minced meat noodles. Let's go together. It will be more fun to eat and chat together."
