fish street dad

In the afternoon, even Aunt Zhou and the others knew that they had sunburned when they went out to play with Wang Kunfeng. They all came to visit him in the yard. Aunt Zhou even specially made him a sun hat with a curtain as a gift Give it to him, saying that he is going out later, if it is not possible, he can wear this.

Bai Chunsheng looked at the sun visor with white gauze fluttering, and suddenly his whole body was in a bad mood. Only the pretending heroines of ancient martial arts dramas would wear this thing, right?He is a pure man, if he wears this to go out, he might be laughed to death.

However, Aunt Zhou had good intentions after all, so Bai Chunsheng could only accept it with a smile.

What Xie Huang brought him was a dark green aquatic plant. It is said that after the water demon got sunburned, he smashed it and applied it on the wound, and it would quickly reduce the swelling. Looking at Bai Chunsheng's red and swollen sausage mouth, Xie Huang Some sympathy and some pride: "Fortunately, I went into the water to pick this bisi grass, Brother Chunsheng, how swollen is your mouth? I will find a buddy to borrow a stone mortar later, and smash this bisi grass into mud. You put it on, and it will be fine tomorrow!"

"Calm down! My mouth is covered with medicine, what should I eat?" Bai Chunsheng glared at him.

"Hey~ Then apply the medicine after eating." Xie Huang smiled foolishly while hugging Bisicao.

Not long after Aunt Zhou and the others left, Shang Qiulu also came over with two paper bags in his hands. Seeing his swollen sausage mouth, he lowered his head and suppressed a smile, and put the paper bags on the stool beside his bed.

"Brother Bai, this is a refreshing candy. If the soup is bitter, it won't be bitter if you put it in your mouth after eating it. I asked the shopkeeper, it's not a problem if you take this candy and keep it in your mouth." Shang Qiu Ludun After a pause, they didn't dare to sit on the edge of the bed after all. People like them are mostly well-informed. Naturally, this young master Bai fell into the eyes of the eldest son. The people in the house didn't dare to do anything to this master, even the shallow-sighted people from other courtyards took money from the palace and dared to abuse the little master behind their backs.

This is also the main reason why the prince and princess did not use the guards to catch them back after Wang Kunfeng fled the other courtyard with his nurse and younger siblings.And those servants and a few stewards of the other courtyard have completely disappeared from this world since then.

Shang Qiulu didn't know where the Eldest Young Master and this man had reached, and their people couldn't get close to the Eldest Young Master. However, seeing Bai Chunsheng's red and swollen lips and the obvious fingertips on his chin, he could only stay behind. Shang Qiu Lu's eyes dimmed, probably, only Xie Huang's stupid crab would believe it was sunburn, right?

This is clearly the swelling mark that can only be caused after being sucked and kissed by someone, and, it seems, the "battle situation" is still very intense...

Shang Qiulu lowered his head, gave a wry smile, then raised his head again, the innocence and harmlessness that Bai Chunsheng was familiar with were still in his eyes.

"The little money you earn from working on the docks every day is not enough for you to spend on your own. Why bother?" Bai Chunsheng looked at the two packs of candies disapprovingly. He knew that the candies here are very expensive. He was reluctant to buy food, but only the cheapest maltose made by the farm. Shang Qiulu himself was reluctant to buy even a single dish for his meals. Every day, he bought either steamed buns or flatbreads. Buying these two packs of sugar cost about half a dollar. Did he lose a lot of his savings?

As if thinking of something, Bai Chunsheng looked at Shang Qiulu, and couldn't help asking: "Qiu Lu, when I'm healthy, I want to rent a stall on Fish Street to sell fish balls and noodles. You're at the pier How much money can I earn a month now? If not much, why not come over with Xie Huang and help me?"

"I have inquired about it. Brother Kun said that the fish balls I made are delicious, but the ones made in restaurants are not as delicious. We can make more and sell them in restaurants. There are also fish noodles. No one here has made them. , I’m too busy to support a stall by myself, and Xie Huang is a bit… Anyway, think about it, if you’re willing to come over, the monthly fee will not be less.”

"Okay, I'll go back and think about it, and I'll come see you tomorrow." Shang Qiulu smiled, but didn't agree, and Bai Chunsheng didn't take it seriously. Originally, he wanted to take care of them both before asking them to help, fish balls and fish The noodles are easy to make, and it is not difficult. Whether it tastes good or not depends on the ingredients.

When Shang Qiulu went out, as expected, he saw the Eldest Young Master in the corridor.He didn't talk to Bai Chunsheng just now because he heard the eldest son's footsteps. As a spy who has followed the eldest son for nearly seven years, Shang Qiulu was already very familiar with Wang Kunfeng's footsteps.

He could even feel his mood swings at this moment from the frequency of his breathing.

The eldest son is not in a good mood.

"Why didn't you agree?" Wang Kunfeng looked at him gravely.

"How dare the younger ones overstep without the permission of the eldest son." Shang Qiulu lowered his head slightly.

"You're really cute," Wang Kunfeng sneered, "If I don't allow it, what will you do?"

"Naturally, stay at the pier and obey the eldest son's order."

"Listen to my orders? The guards of Shang are deeply trusted by the princess. How can I, an outcast who is not recognized by the palace, dare to send you? But, you stay at the pier all day, and I get tired of seeing you! Get out of here! Make your fish balls!"

"Thank you, Eldest Prince, for your trustworthiness! This subordinate will definitely not disgrace his life!" Shang Qiulu raised his head with relief, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After Bai Chunsheng woke up, he would naturally not ask Wang Kunfeng to help him with medicinal baths. Every time Wang Kunfeng saw his swollen lips, he felt a little guilty, and these days they came less frequently. Every time I come here, I will bring him some edible soup, sometimes it is the white fungus pear soup from the restaurant, and sometimes it is the mung bean soup sold on the street. After three days like this, the sunburn on Bai Chunsheng's body has completely disappeared, and he has recovered. She was covered in jade snow skin.

"Such a layer of skin grows on the body of a pure man like me, what a waste!" Looking at his slender figure and jade-like skin in the bronze mirror, Bai Chunsheng sighed heartbrokenly, "Bai Chunsheng, Bai Chunsheng, what are you looking for?" You look so good-looking, where will you find a lady who is worthy of you?"

Wang Kunfeng coughed from outside the house.

Bai Chunsheng blushed, hurriedly gathered up his clothes, tied his pockets, and tied up his grown hair with blue cloth strips. When he opened the door, he saw Wang Kunfeng standing outside with a small basket, raising his head slightly. There was still a hint of a smile on the corner of his lips, obviously standing outside and eavesdropping for a while.

"Why are you like this? Are you still standing outside eavesdropping? What did you hear?" Bai Chunsheng's ears were red, and he tried to reprimand him.

"I'm rude, I'm rude, it's Xiaosheng's shameless, abrupt beauty~" When it came to the word "beauty", Wang Kunfeng couldn't help it anymore, and burst out laughing.

He never knew that this mussel was so narcissistic!

"You still say?" Bai Chunsheng pushed him out in shame and anger, and closed the door with a bang.

"Chunsheng, I was wrong, you open the door quickly, I brought you some good things." Wang Kunfeng stood outside the door, begging in a good voice, "Your brother, please forgive me for a while? I saw you just now. The door of your room is closed, you should be bathing and changing clothes in the room, you dare not disturb, so you stood outside the door and waited, it was not intentional."

Bai Chunsheng is a big man, so he wouldn't really shut the door like a coquettish girl just because of such a trivial matter. After thinking about it, he opened the door latch, ignored him, and went on his own. Pour tea on the side table.

Wang Kunfeng saw that he pulled the tea tray with the teacup to his side in anger and did not pour tea for him, so he knew that he was still angry, so he didn't dare to tease him anymore, and put the basket in his hand on the table solemnly , Lifting off the blue cloth covering it, inside is a set of knives wrapped in deerskin sheaths, some are long and some are short, and there is even a delicate descaling knife.

I don't know what kind of wood the knife handle is made of. It's not gold or jade, but it's very heavy in the hand, and it's very easy to hold. It's hard to slip off when you hold it tightly. It's really a good set of knives for killing fish!

"This is for me?" Bai Chunsheng touched the knives one by one in surprise.He has long felt that the kitchen knife at home is very inconvenient for killing fish. If he is not careful, it will easily slip off and cut his hand. The last time Aunt Zhou was killing fish, the kitchen knife slipped off and cut her hand.He wanted to get some cloth strips to wrap the handle of the kitchen knife to increase the friction, but he didn't expect this guy to quietly get him a set of special fish-killing knives.

"Of course it's for you, and I don't know how to kill fish. Besides, haven't you always wanted to set up a stall to sell fish balls? How can you do it without a set of fish killing knives?" Wang Kunfeng smiled and turned to Heiyu. Jing also somewhat agrees with the point of view that "gifts must be given to him what he needs most".

He was still a little apprehensive at first, a knife is a murder weapon, and he had never heard of a knife being given as a gift to his sweetheart.But Hei Yujing insisted that Bai Chunsheng would like it, and even patted his chest to guarantee that if Bai Chunsheng didn't like it, he would eat this set of knives.

Unexpectedly, he was really fooled by this black fish spirit.

After all, he is a demon who has become a relative, so he still has some experience in giving gifts.

Otherwise, with his ordinary face, Wang Kunfeng couldn't figure out how the fox demon Qingpeng, who was so beautiful in the moonlight, fell in love with him.

"Then I'll be disrespectful! This knife must be very expensive, right?" Bai Chunsheng looked at him and asked, he knew that the conditions of the Wang family were actually very average. Aunt Wang was reluctant to go out to buy cloth even for making clothes, and would rather work hard by herself to buy it. Cotton weaves by itself at home, where did Wang Kunfeng get the money to buy such an exquisite set of knives?

The price of ironware is very expensive, and good ironware is not something you can buy as soon as you want. Many blacksmiths with real skills were either recruited by the army, or invited by rich and noble families to be special craftsmen in the home workshop. Well, most of the blacksmiths on the market can only make kitchen knives, shovels and hoes.

Anyway, Bai Chunsheng had never seen such exquisite knives in the blacksmith's shop in the town.

"It didn't cost any money. Last time, a man was rescued by chance at the pier. That man was a famous knife maker. So I asked for this set of fish-killing knives. I wanted to give it to you as a New Year's gift, but I thought you would want it this year." There is a stall selling fish balls, and I can’t do without a fish-killing knife, so I took it out in advance.”

"Then you should give it to me now... I haven't heard of people giving knives to people who celebrate the Chinese New Year." Bai Chunsheng said blackly.

Wang Kunfeng paused, and the base of his ears turned slightly red.

Ever since he was a child, this was indeed the first time for him to give something to his beloved. Before that, he only thought about whether Bai Chunsheng liked it or not, but he didn't consider some taboos about gift giving.

It seems that it is really not suitable to give away knives during the Chinese New Year.

"Let's not talk about this, brother Kun, I will accept this knife, but in the future, if Saburo comes to my place to eat, you are not allowed to let him bring the ingredients. It's just some worthless fish balls. If you still like this , then we brothers can’t do it anymore.”

"Okay!" Wang Kunfeng agreed graciously.

He never thought of being brothers with Bai Chunsheng for the rest of his life.

He wanted this mussel to be his husband.

"Let's go, I've ordered someone to set up your fishball stall. I just passed by on the way back. I'll take you to have a look. If there's anything missing, tell me and I'll replace it for you." Set up."

"What's the point of that?"

"What? You told me not to be polite to you just now, but now you are being polite to me?" Wang Kunfeng glanced over, and Bai Chunsheng immediately faltered.

"Okay then, but I'll pay for the purchases." Bai Chunsheng insisted.

Wang Kunfeng nodded, and took Bai Chunsheng to the front to settle the decoction money for the past few days. Dr. Mao looked at the little master who pretended not to know him, and silently changed the decoction money from five taels of silver to five taels of silver.

Bai Chunsheng was new here, and he didn't know the price of seeing a doctor here. He thought that five cents was a lot, so he fished out a penny from his purse and handed it over with some distress.

In exchange for a few strings of copper plates.

"If I had known I would get sunburned, I wouldn't have picked peach gums. If you calculate it like this, those peach gums are too valuable, right?" Bai Chunsheng said with a heartache.How many catties of peach gum is enough for five renminbi?

"It's okay, I think the birthday peaches you made that day are also very novel. I will tell you at the pier later that they will all go to your place to buy birthday peaches. A pair of birthday peaches costs [-] copper coins, and they will be earned back soon. gone."

"That's not good, is it?"

"What's wrong? I bought it at the same price in the shop outside. It's not as good-looking as yours. It's delicious. You don't know. After the birthday party was over that day, my mother cut a birthday peach and steamed it the next day. , almost all were eaten by Saburo, and Auntie also likes to eat it. The birthday peaches sold in the shop are full of dead noodles, which are not as delicious as yours."

"That's fine. When I make money, San Lang and Sister Ai can eat as many birthday peaches as they want." Bai Chunsheng nodded generously. He also knew that the money was earned, not saved.Besides, the body is the most important thing. This time, he has gained a lot of wisdom this time, and he will never dare to stand in the sun again. It will really kill someone!

"By the way, I was in a coma in Taohuaao that day. What happened to Mrs. Zeng's natal family?" Bai Chunsheng asked curiously, remembering the gossip that had been read halfway and hadn't seen the end.

"You just remembered? I thought you forgot." Wang Kunfeng looked over with a smile.

"How could you forget? It's rare to meet that kind of top-notch scum a few times in a lifetime, okay? Tell me quickly, what happened afterwards? Then Niu Er will definitely not let them go, right? Did they want a house or a land? ?”

"Ms. Zeng's father asked Niu Er to take away the eldest son brought by his mother-in-law."

"Ah?! Didn't the old lady fight with the old man?"

"What's the trouble?" Wang Kunfeng sneered, "The old man of Zeng's family looks like a good man, but he is actually selfish and mean. Jia Dalang took him back to work to repay the debt, or he would divorce his wife and sweep their mother and son out of the house, anyway, the document for receiving the money was stamped with Da Lang's fingerprints, and it had nothing to do with his Zeng family."

"The old lady was also afraid when she heard this. After all, she is old and poor. After being divorced by the old man of the Zeng family, she is afraid that it will be difficult for her to marry again for the rest of her life. What's more, she is also reluctant to part with her younger son, so she can only watch helplessly. Niu Er took it away."

"Isn't this old man too ruthless? After all, he is the eldest son who has been raised for more than ten years, and because he has no blood relationship with him, he gave up mercilessly?"

"You also said that they are not related by blood. Besides, Mrs. Zeng and the old man are their biological father and daughter. What happened? Didn't they give their own daughter to the landlord for money? Since ancient times, concubines How many good ones can there be?" Wang Kunfeng sneered.

"Let's not talk about them, as long as they don't come to harass Mrs. Zeng, it doesn't matter how we die." Bai Chunsheng pointed to the newly built shed on the corner of the street, "Brother Kun, is that my stall?"

"You have good eyesight, that's right there."

"It's such a big stall? Is it a lot of rent every month?" Bai Chunsheng doesn't have much money on hand now, and he needs to save some for capital. Seeing that the stall is bigger than the pork stall next door, his heart skipped a beat. With a sound, he silently calculated his savings.

"Don't rent a child."

"What?!"

"Listen to me, this fish street belongs to our boss. The boss told some of us in charge before that working with him is hard work, and we can't let us work for nothing, so we let ourselves live on this street. Choose a place, we build the shop by ourselves, don’t rent it, it’s a kind of grace to the manager. You know the situation of our family, where is there room for people to set up the shop? I haven’t moved that place, now Just brought it for your use."

"Then you can't deny the rent? Do you want me to have some?" Bai Chunsheng said worriedly. He was not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others in his two lifetimes. He felt uneasy when he gave such a big booth to him for nothing.

"If you're really sorry, how about taking care of my three meals a day? The cook in the public house is very lazy, and the pigs don't even eat the meals they cook!" Wang Kunfeng said distressed.

"Pfft~Okay! Then don't eat there from now on, come over when it's time to eat, and I will definitely have your meal!" Bai Chunsheng thought of the years when he ate in the school cafeteria in his previous life, and immediately felt the same way.

"Let's go, go over and have a look. I've had people prepare the shed, tables, chairs and benches. There are only pots and stoves, because I don't know if they are suitable for use. I will decide after you have seen it yourself."

The location chosen by Wang Kunfeng is not bad. It happens to be a little past the corner of Yu Street, and you can see it when you turn the corner. It is very conspicuous. The underground is about forty or fifty square meters in size. The shed was tied up with reeds on three sides to keep out the wind. There were two rows of six tables inside, and each table was equipped with four stools. It could seat forty or fifty guests, which is already very good. As a food stand.

Next to it is a separate stove built with adobe. The iron pot has not been installed yet, probably because he doesn’t know whether the one he bought is suitable for use, so it is empty there. He can just wait for him to choose a large pot of suitable size. Bought it and put it on.

Wang Kunfeng is really a meticulous person, even the firewood for cooking is piled up behind the stove.

"It took a lot of money to build a shed and buy tables and chairs, right? You can't do without this, I must give it to you, otherwise I don't want this stall." Bai Chunsheng looked at Wang Kunfeng.

Wang Kunfeng showed an expression of "I knew you would be like this", paused, then lowered his head and whispered into his ear and explained: "The shed was built by Sanlang and I, and the tables, chairs and benches were bought on credit from a carpenter's shop." Yes, the money hasn't been paid yet, you can go to checkout anytime."

"The firewood was also brought by Sanlang and I. If you are really sorry, why don't you make a pot of fish soup for him? He hasn't eaten for a long time, and he has lost weight in the past few days."

"Then what are you waiting for? You don't know how to run around the stall, and you don't rush to do business. Let's go, let's go buy two fresh fish first, and make some delicious food for Saburo at night."

"You are really kind to Saburo." Wang Kunfeng muttered with some displeasure.

"That's~ Sanlang is really good, and he's still young. It's time to grow up. How can he grow up if he doesn't eat more?" Bai Chunsheng walked to the fish stand beside him and began to pick fresh fish.

The boats selling fish at the wharf at this point have dispersed. If you want to buy fish, you can only buy it at the fish stall on the fish street. It is slightly more expensive than buying at the wharf, but you can only buy it here at this point.

I picked a fatter herring and a fat-headed fish, and went to the tofu shop to buy a few pieces of tender tofu and a few pieces of old tofu, and asked Wang Kunfeng to help carry them.

"These two kinds of tofu are different?" Wang Kunfeng asked curiously after looking at the tofu in the basket, one was snow white and the other was slightly yellow.

"The white one is tender tofu, which is used to stew fish tofu, and the light yellow one is old tofu. I'm going to chop up some herring fish fluff, and make some tofu fish balls with this old tofu, and add some vegetables in it, Saburo Don’t you like vegetables? They should be eaten in fish balls, right?”

"You are very careful with him..." Wang Kunfeng felt sour in his heart.He naturally knew that Bai Chunsheng was so kind to Saburo, and it was mostly because of him, but he felt a little panicked for no reason!

"You're not jealous, are you?" Bai Chunsheng gave him a strange look.

"Joke~ What kind of sour and vinegar do I and Saburo eat?" Wang Kunfeng snorted coldly, "Don't you want to add some vegetables to the fish balls? Let's go, I'll take you to buy vegetables!"

"He said he wasn't jealous..." Bai Chunsheng curled his lips, and followed Wang Kunfeng to the vegetable stall.
