The dead husband is back

After the dog days passed, the sales of Liangpi gradually decreased, and Liang Xiaocai did not go out to set up a stall as much as before.Seeing this, Huo Yandong began to persuade Liang Xiaocai to work in the barracks from time to time, or just set up a shop and forget it.

It's not that Liang Xiaocai didn't think about it, but it's too much to go to the barracks, and it's not enough money to set up a shop.

He has been busy working this summer, but he has only saved eight taels of silver.Eight taels of silver, it is no problem for an ordinary family of three to live together for two years, but it is absolutely impossible to buy a shop in Panhai City.Not to mention the big two-story shop, even a small one-story shop won't work.Even with those given by Huo Yandong, there is still a part of the difference.

Liang Xiaocai knew that if he told Huo Yandong that the money was not enough, Huo Yandong would definitely find a way to help him solve it, but he didn't want to do that, so the matter was dragged on until October.

In October, the autumn wind is rustling, and the ginkgo leaves are all yellow, which is very dazzling when illuminated by the light.Liang Xiaocai closed the stall completely and couldn't leave. In his spare time, he helped the family with work, or played with Xiao Zhuang Zhuang.Otherwise, it is to become a strong man in the Iron Arm Army.

Huo Yandong has never been ambiguous when asking him for help. In Huo Yandong's words: What's so polite about asking your wife for a favor?

Liang Xiaocai could not refute.

Just like this time, originally he wanted to get some oysters to dry at home, but Huo Yandong asked him to look at the newly made training equipment.

"Isn't this very well done?" Liang Xiaocai said after watching it, "Why do you have to ask me to come and take a look?"

"That's right, brother, you don't take Brother Xiaoliang's legs and feet seriously anymore, just call someone if you have nothing to do." Liu Xiaoliu groaned and said with a smile, "You don't pay him a military salary, it's not bullying. Is it?"

"Bully me? I'm all his, what kind of military salary will I pay?" Huo Yandong said, pointing to the newly built imitation high wall, "The main thing is to let him see this. Is there any shortcoming? This The 'wall' is so high that it is impossible to climb it with bare hands."

"Didn't I say how many ropes were hung on the top when I drew the picture for you? Pull the ropes to climb to the top and then jump down." Liang Xiaocai patted the thick wooden wall, "You can also make some protrusions, which can be grasped Seed, climb up. Didn’t you set up a lot of faces, divide them up. But there must be a time limit when practicing, not just going up, you have to work hard to complete within the required time, so that you can improve quickly.”

"Then how long is the appropriate time?" Zhao Sangeng asked.

"I'll do it again, you count the time in your mind to see how long it will take me." Liang Xiaocai finished speaking and rolled up the clothes and tucked them in his belt: "Brother Yan, tell me the beginning."

Huo Yandong nodded, seeing Liang Xiaocai standing outside the line, he shouted: "Start!"

Liang Xiaocai jumped out like a leopard, grabbed the rope, climbed to the top of the wall on the shiny wooden wall, and jumped down neatly.His whole movement was done in one go without any sloppiness.It seems that everything is done from top to bottom in one breath.

Huo Yandong asked Zhao Sangeng: "Have you written it down?"

Zhao Sangeng said: "Remember, there are only six numbers from the start to the landing."

Liang Xiaocai said: "Then put the sand into the gourd, and it needs to be counted to eight. The practitioners just go up and down like me just now, and when they come down, they can just see the sand fall completely."

Niu Dawu said: "Then I have to fill the gourd with sand every time after practice? That's too troublesome."

Liang Xiaocai was taken aback: "Why do you keep pouring it every time? Isn't it over by making an hourglass?"

It couldn't have been easier.However, everyone was taken aback after hearing this, and Huo Yandong asked, "What is an hourglass?"

"Hourglass..." Liang Xiaocai thought for a while, he really didn't know when this thing was invented, but obviously it didn't exist here, or there was, but maybe it was called differently?So he said: "For example, put a certain amount of sand into a gourd. How long does it take for the sand to flow out of the gourd? We can use the amount of sand to control the time of quicksand. This kind of quicksand timing is Call it an 'hourglass'."

"But if the sand flows out of the gourd, doesn't it still need to be refilled?" Niu Dawu said, "It won't go into the gourd by itself."

"Who said it wouldn't?" Liang Xiaocai was still thinking about something, "We didn't throw away the gourds we used when we were learning to swim, did we? Find some of the smallest ones and bring them over."

That gourd is a great hero of the Iron Arm Army. How many people have helped them learn to swim, so naturally they won't throw it away.After it was too cold to go into the water, the carp team specially washed the gourd and put it in a ventilated place.

Niu Dawu went to search with Liu Xiaoliu and picked the ten smallest ones.Liang Xiaocai made a comparison and chose a pair that was the closest in size. Then he took the saw blade and went to the forest to saw some branches and came back.For the rest of the time, he was tinkering at the door of Huo Yandong's tent, sawing branches and gourds for a while.When he finished his busy work, he made a gourd hourglass.

This thing looks like a shrunken long drum, with bases on both sides.The edges of the two bases are held together by three thin branches of equal length.Another difference from the glass hourglass is that there is a gap about three centimeters long between the two mouth-to-mouth gourds, which is convenient for observing whether the sand has completely flowed from one gourd to the other.

"It's probably like this. But the mouths of the two gourds are not exactly the same size, so the quicksand time at both ends cannot be exactly the same. It is about the same time, which can be used for training timing." Liang Xiaocai demonstrated to Huo Yandong After a while, "It's not troublesome to use it back and forth like this."

"Fresh." Liu Xiaoliu said, "In this way, it only needs someone standing on one side to pour it back and forth."

"Well, the main thing is to give the trainees a sense of urgency. Otherwise, everyone will just practice without a goal, and there is no way to exert their limit."

"Go, find someone to make a few more ones with different durations according to this." Huo Yandong handed the newly "released" hourglass to Liu Xiaoliu, "Now that everyone's body is back, it's time to tighten your skin gone."

Liu Xiaoliu carefully took the hourglass and left, and Niu Dawu hurriedly followed.Zhao Sangeng was the most knowledgeable, so of course he wouldn't stay, so he left too.Huo Yandong and Liang Xiaocai returned to the camp.

Huo Yandong said at this time: "I haven't decided whether to set up a shop yet?"

Liang Xiaocai sat on the futon: "If you want to do it, you have to recruit people, and you have to take care of a lot of things, which is troublesome. And there is no suitable place right now."

Huo Yandong said: "Then what if I find you a ready-made place?"

Liang Xiaocai turned his head abruptly: "Where?"

Huo Yandong poured himself a cup of tea, raised his head and drank it all, and said, "You can't say it for nothing."

Liang Xiaocai choked suddenly.Huo Yandong asked him a question before, and he had done the same before, saying that he couldn't say it in vain, and he had to kiss him no matter what.Then Huo Yandong kissed him...

Speechless.

Liang Xiaocai leaned over and put his arms around Huo Yandong's neck: "Brother Yan, I found out that you haven't learned well recently."

Huo Yandong handed his used cup to Liang Xiaocai's mouth: "When you get close to vermilion, you get red, and when you get close to ink, you get black. You have so many evil ideas all day long, why don't I be more vigilant?"

Liang Xiaocai drank the tea, and took advantage of the opportunity to tweet on Huo Yandong's chin: "Can you say it?"

Only then did Huo Yandong tell Liang Xiaocai: "There is a Four Seas restaurant in the city, do you remember? If you want, it can be managed by you in the future."

Liang Xiaocai: "...Isn't that the Guo family's restaurant?!"

The young master of the Guo family still wants to spend money on his cold noodle recipe, he remembers that the restaurant's business is pretty good.

Huo Yandong said: "It used to be, but it's not anymore. The people from the intelligence department wanted to buy a foothold, and it happened that the Four Seas Restaurant was selling food, so they were bought by the intelligence department. Their leader appointed you to run it. It just so happens that you have another The craftsmanship is considered familiar to Panhai City right now."

Liang Xiaocai: "...who is the head of the intelligence department?"

Huo Yandong said: "Meet Jin and meet Hou Ye."

Liang Xiaocai: "Oh, it's not surprising. But even so, the restaurant is not ours."

Huo Yandong said: "The restaurant is not ours, but it is under our management. If it makes a profit, then we take [-]% of it. If it doesn't make a profit, we don't need to take anything. I don't think it's a loss."

Liang Xiaocai thought for a while: "Then try it, it won't be for nothing."

Huo Yandong said: "Okay, then I will answer like this. Don't have any psychological burden. If it is not suitable, they will naturally change people, so you have the right to play. As mentioned above, if you do a good job, extra I'll give you another payment."

Liang Xiaocai said in his heart that this is not a joke, the opportunity is rare.

That night, Huo Yandong took Liang Xiaocai to Sihai Restaurant.The Four Seas Restaurant will be renamed "Qinghai Restaurant" in the future.As for what to sell, Liang Xiaocai had already thought about it on the way.Hot pot, Liangpi, ice cream, ginger milk.Of course, he will find ways to promote other dishes, anyway, he must manage it well.There are two floors up and down, the first floor can sell stir-fried vegetables, and the second floor sells hot pot!

The cook and waiter in the restaurant are ready-made.It was not from the original Guo family, but from the Intelligence Department.In the beginning, it will definitely take some adjustments, so Liang Xiaocai will be making new friends.

At the end of October, the people below prepared all the hot pot, charcoal, and some special porcelain plates that Liang Xiaocai wanted, and Liang Xiaocai asked someone to make an auspicious date, and Qinghai Restaurant opened.No one in Panhai City sells hot pot yet. When his restaurant opened, everyone was curious and many people came to join him.

Liang Xiaocai used big bones to make the soup base, which added ingredients such as wolfberry, green onion, and sliced ​​ginger.He also asked people to dig clams every day. After cleaning up the fresh clam meat, he rinsed it in the soup. It was smooth and tender in the mouth, with the unique sweetness of seafood.There are also hand-cut mutton slices, cabbage, potato chips, and wild mushrooms, all of which can be boiled, and the business is actually very good.

Huo Yandong would come over whenever he had time to beg for a stutter.Every time he came at night, he and Liang Xiaocai ate in the private room for a while, and then stayed directly in the restaurant.Of course it is also possible to go back.

No one in the restaurant was curious about the relationship between the two of them, because these people knew their relationship well when they came.

"Let's make a pot like this at home someday." Huo Yandong pointed to the hot pot and said, "The whole family gathers around the house to cook, and it's lively."

"Okay." Liang Xiaocai ate until his belly bulged, leaned on the back of the chair, and didn't make a sound for a long time.

"What are you thinking?" Huo Yandong asked.

Liang Xiaocai turned his head, looked at him for a moment, and said with a smile, "I'm thinking about the depth of our fate to meet each other."

Across time and space, through the gap of time, came to a strange place, and a strange person.What's even more amazing is that they became partners, and he didn't want to go back because of this.

Whenever I think of these in the dead of night, I feel very magical.

Huo Yandong asked: "What was the place you were in before?"

Liang Xiaocai said: "In the place where I stayed before, the houses could be built very high. Look at the second floor of our restaurant. The houses in my hometown can be built up to dozens of floors or even over a hundred floors. Also, you can contact me no matter how far away you are." .It’s not about writing letters, but there’s something called a ‘mobile phone’. When I talk here, another person thousands of miles away can hear what I’m saying right away.”

Huo Yandong: "So powerful?"

Liang Xiaocai: "..."

Huo Yandong smiled: "Why don't you talk anymore?"

Liang Xiaocai asked, "Do you know what I like most about you?"

Huo Yandong: "What?"

Liang Xiaocai said: "You believe everything I say. If someone else would think I am hysterical. But you are not. So you are the only connection I have with this world. If it weren't for you, I would think this place is boring."

Huo Yandong: "Tsk, I thought you liked my strong waist and legs the most."

Liang Xiaocai: "Show face!" After he finished speaking, he laughed himself first: "Of course this is one of them. Okay, okay, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are, let's go out and enjoy the moon."

It happened to be the fifteenth day again, and the moon was full.Liang Xiaocai and Huo Yandong didn't go through the main entrance either, they jumped out from the window of the box to the place where the restaurant kept wine and vegetables.The two sat on the roof together and looked at the moon next to each other.

Liang Xiaocai said, "Brother Yan, tell me about your happiest thing?"

Huo Yandong said "um": "The happiest thing for me is to be able to sit with you and watch the moon like this. What about you?"

Liang Xiaocai said, "Same as you."

The world is peaceful and the lover is by your side. As long as you work hard, you can live a good life.What could be happier in this world than this?

If there is……

Liang Xiaocai poked Huo Yandong: "Brother Yan."

Huo Yandong: "Huh?"

Liang Xiaocai smiled and said, "I like you."

If there is, it must be at this moment, they are still in love.
