Farming and slapping face through time travel

The weather was still very cold, Lan Qianjue held Xiaodoumi wrapped in a small quilt in one hand, and took Shen Jiyao's hand to the town with the other. The two looked all the way, Shen Jiyao was going to ask where the wooden carts of these hawkers were I bought it, but I went all the way to another street, but I saw that this street is full of simple wooden shops, with tables, chairs and benches inside, leaving only a wider space for the stove, which is very similar to the barbecue stalls in modern night markets. .

Shen Jiyao became interested in an instant. He liked such a simple but practical small shop very much, so he planned to go up and have a look. The two of them went from beginning to end. The business in this area was good, except for one shop selling steamed buns and tea. It was bleak, Shen Jiyao stared at the tea shop for a long time, then walked into the tea shop and sat down, ordered a pot of tea and a basket of steamed buns, intending to find a chance to ask the shop owner about setting up a stall.

This street is full of shops like this, row after row, and the houses are all about the same size, and they all lean against the courtyard wall. I think these people are good at using resources, but aren’t they afraid of being discovered by the supervisor and demolished? , Shen Jiyao asked Lan Qianjue about this, and only then did he know that these small shops were set up by the gang from the supervisory city, just for the convenience of renting them out, which saved him a lot of troubles. The house is also good.

It's a pity that the two of them walked back and forth, but they didn't see any vacant shops.

There were people coming and going on the street, and some poor people in thin padded jackets crossed their hands in their sleeves and walked past the stall tremblingly. Shen Jiyao shrank his neck and looked at the crowd walking outside for a while before turning his eyes away and began to look around. This tea shop is very simple to build, the back side leans against the wall, only the bottom half of the two sides is a mud wall, and the top is empty with only a few bamboo curtains hanging. The wind is terribly cold, and this The shops in the two rows are well done, and the rocks are sealed with wood on both sides. Compared with them, this place is indeed too simple, and the tables and benches are also very old. There are only two of them in this bun stall. It's not too late now, but no one comes to eat. The business is very bleak. The shop owner is an old man over sixty years old. He is very plainly dressed and covered in patches. He must not have much money to fiddle with this small shop. He sat on a pony to add firewood in front of the stove, and an iron pot of hot water was burning on the fire, preparing to steam buns for Shen Jiyao and the others.

The things in the shop are also very simple, there are only a few tables and stools inside, and there are no menus. It is boring and simple, which makes this small shop even worse. If this shop is handed over to Shen Jiyao, he can guarantee It will make the inside neat and tidy.

But it's not his, Shen Jiyao can only sigh.

Shen Jiyao took a sip of the bitter tea, looked away from looking at the tea shop, and looked at the old man who was slowly steaming the buns.

It takes a long time to steam the buns now, which shows that the old man's business is really bad, otherwise he wouldn't wait until someone came to the door to steam the buns.

It took a full quarter of an hour before the buns on the fire were steamed, and Shen Jiyao and the others drank all their tea.

The old man came over with the buns and said, "The buns are ready, you two have been waiting for a long time."

Shen Jiyao moved the teapot and asked him to put the steamer. The two ordered two buns, which together with the tea made up three copper coins. It was really cheap. Seeing that he had put the steamer in place, Shen Jiyao asked knowingly, "Old man, what's the weather like today?" It's so cold, why are there still bamboo curtains hanging in your store, and the steamed buns are steaming so slowly, if diners come, the store is so windy and not warm, and you have to wait for so long, I'm afraid no one is willing to wait."

The old man rolled his eyelids to look at Shen Jiyao. Seeing that the other party was a brother, he couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then honestly told the whole situation about himself, and said bitterly: "My little brother doesn't know, business is not easy now Ah, the few copper coins sold in a day are not enough to pay the market fee, and I can’t make ends meet all day long, so there is no money to manage this shop, just mess around, and stop doing it after this month is over.”

Market gold?After hearing this, Shen Jiyao thought for a while, and wondered if it was the so-called booth fee. He heard some information from this few words, and then deduced: "Why did you just pay the one-month market fee after you finished this month? ? Also, you just said that you won’t do it this month?”

"Isn't it?" The old man stood aside and said distressedly: "Those prisons have to pay a month's worth of money. A few days ago, the weather was better and they earned a few copper coins. Now they have been losing money, and the coffin has lost all of it. I went in, hey, other people’s houses have business, but I’m deserted, I can’t do it anymore, I can go home and farm while I still have some strength, look, my old lady used to work here with me, Now that there is no business, she doesn’t come to visit the country when she goes back to the country, isn’t it because of losing money, and the old woman always blames me, so she just stopped doing it to try to be quiet.”

Shen Jiyao was overjoyed, and had an idea about this tea shop, and he took the opportunity to ask: "This area is quite lively, and it probably costs a lot of money."

The old man said sadly: "The bustle is the bustle, but there is no business. The market money is five hundred dollars a month. I can't even earn that much. I just work for the city gold every month. The money is worthless." I can’t make any money, and it’s really boring to do it, and I feel uncomfortable seeing other people’s business doing well every day.”

It seemed that the old man was really planning to give up. Shen Jiyao nodded with regret, and began to eat the buns. Seeing that he didn't intend to continue talking, the old man went to sit by the stove to warm himself up.

The buns are stuffed with minced cabbage and minced meat. The minced meat is pitifully small, and the taste is not very good. Maybe this is one of the reasons why the old man has no business.

Shen Jiyao put it down after taking two bites. He said to Lan Qianjue, who was eating silently, "How about this area? There are not many people coming and going in summer."

After hearing this, Lan Qianjue looked around and said, "Although it is a street away from the market, it is very lively. This is another way to get in and out of the town. Let alone summer, there are many people passing by at this time. , Mostly here to eat, why, did you fancy this place?"

"Well, you can see it." Shen Jiyao glanced at Lan Qianjue appreciatively, and said, "But the five hundred yuan market gold is not too expensive."

Lan Qianjue finished eating a steamed stuffed bun and said, "It's okay, if you change to another street, I'm afraid it will cost more than this price."

Shen Jiyao looked happy, and then said in a low voice: "I want to ask the old man if he would like to give this place to me. Anyway, he doesn't intend to continue. Instead of pushing the cart around the town, let's find a place to settle down. Come down, it’s convenient to do anything like this, what do you think.”

"You have the final say." Seeing that Shen Jiyao is so serious, Lan Qianjue doesn't intend to stop him, just do what he wants, it's rare that he has such skills and ideas, he must support him without hesitation, he looks at it dotingly Shen Jiyao smiled and said, "But we have to wait until you have settled with the old man first."

"I'll talk to him now." After finishing speaking, Shen Jiyao got up and walked to the old man, and said to the old man, "Old man, how long is your deadline for this stall?"

The old man didn't hide anything, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's still about half a month, what's the matter, little brother."

Shen Jiyao smiled and said: "I just heard you said that you don't want to do it. If you really don't plan to do it, I want to take it over for you. I don't know what you want."

"This." The old man frowned, obviously hesitant, he thought for a long time, and then slowly said: "Yes, yes, but this market..."

"Well, if you transfer it to me tomorrow, then I'll pay you three hundred dollars, okay?" Shen Jiyao said, "But you have to call the supervisor in charge of this area first, and the three parties will make it clear in person. , the deed will only be completed, if you want to do it for a full month, then I will come and talk to you when the time comes."

"All right, all right." The old man stopped hesitating, he really couldn't go on, now that he ran into such a good thing, there was no reason to disagree, the old man was afraid that Shen Jiyao would go back on his word, so he hurriedly said: "I'll call the prisoner now It’s really boring to let you come to the city, so you wait for me here, and I’ll call them.”

"Okay." Shen Jiyao said, "Go."

The old man nodded and got up and ran out of the tea shop. Shen Jiyao clenched his fist on the palm of his hand to express his excitement for winning the shop. Just as he sat back on the stool, the old man turned back and rubbed his hands Hehe smiled and said: "Little brother, that, let's settle the tea money first, don't be ridiculous, although I don't have much money, but I live on these few copper coins."

Shen Jiyao hurriedly said that he would not laugh at him, and then took out three copper coins for him, and the old man walked away happily.

Shen Jiyao laughed and said, "This old man is quite interesting."

Lan Qianjue didn't answer, but asked, "Don't you want to eat the buns?"

Shen Jiyao looked at the steamed stuffed bun that had been bitten by him twice, and said, "I don't really want to eat it."

Lan Qianjue picked it up and ate it without saying a word.

A quarter of an hour later, the old man arrived with two yamen servants.

"Brother, here we come, we've been waiting for a long time." The old man walked to Shen Jiyao with a smile, pointed at the two middle-aged men in official uniforms and said, "They are the supervisors in charge of this area. Just sign the contract with them, I have already made it clear to them that I will transfer this tea shop to you."

"Okay, old man Lao." Shen Jiyao got up and looked at the two of them, and said, "I don't know how to sign this contract. I hope the two adults will advise me."

The eyes of the two were quite complicated, and they always looked at the lotus mark on his forehead from time to time. Shen Jiyao noticed that their eyes didn't care, and he still looked at them calmly. One of them took out two contracts from his arms and said : "Look, if there are no problems, sign the contract. From now on, this tea shop will be yours, with a monthly fee of [-] yuan."

Shen Jiyao took a look at the deed with the official seal on it, and saw that there was nothing serious about it, so he said: "If I sign it now, the land will belong to me."

Jianshi took out the ink from his pocket and handed it to him, saying: "If you sign it, it will be yours. You can sign it. Do you have the five hundred coins ready?"

"Ready."

At this moment, Lan Qianjue stood up, took out a tael of silver from his bosom, and handed it to Shen Jiyao. Shen Jiyao took the silver, but did not let go of his hand dipped in printing ink, and made the whole group wait impatiently. Only then asked: "I have a question, if someone comes to make trouble, if they come to you, don't worry about it."

"Of course we have to manage it." The supervisor said: "Since you rented our place, we have to be responsible for you too, as long as you don't intentionally cause trouble, everything is easy to talk about."

Satisfied, Shen Jiyao staggered two pieces of paper and pressed his fingerprints on the paper.

The supervisor took back one of the contracts with satisfaction, took a look at it, took the one tael of silver handed over by Shen Jiyao, gave him five hundred coins, and then said: "That's it, if you don't understand or have trouble in the future , go to the prison and market hall in Ximen to find us, my name is Wu Zhigang, his name is Yang Zhaocheng, we are in charge of the area where you are, if you need anything, just look for the two of us."

Shen Jiyao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll remember, I'm sorry for the inconvenience of the two officials."

The two nodded, and after seeing everything explained, they left one after the other.

Shen Jiyao turned around and counted three hundred copper coins to the old man, and asked, "Old man, don't you take these things back from the store when you close?"

"No one cares about what to move." Counting the copper coins, the old man said, "I pushed a small wooden cart myself, and after closing the stall, I took all the valuables home. Who would want these rotten tables and benches?" , just seal the front door, by the way, do you want these tables and stools, I'll buy them for you at a lower price."

"No, I'm going to get a new one." Shen Jiyao said with a smile, "Take it away."

"That's fine, I'll take it away." The old man couldn't help being a little disappointed, and went to organize things on his own.

Shen Jiyao looked around the tea shop in a good mood, and then the corners of his lips rose uncontrollably. The joy in his heart was indescribable. Although the tea shop was a rotten shed, it could at least keep out the wind and rain, so he didn't have to push a small wooden cart around. It is the best, although it hurts to spend a tael of silver, and it will definitely cost a lot in the follow-up, but Shen Jiyao is happy.

Seeing that he was so happy, Lan Qianjue smiled on his expressionless face.

Shen Jiyao looked at the left and right sides of the tea shop, and said to Lan Qianjue: "We have to seal these two places, otherwise we won't be able to stay this winter, and we won't be able to put things in there."

"I'll take care of it." Lan Qianjue said: "In the next few days, I will repair the shop first, and then do other things after it is done."

Shen Jiyao nodded, looking at the small shop full of hope and enthusiasm.

Half an hour later, the old man packed up all his things and tied them to the small wooden cart. There were still a few tables, chairs and benches left in the shop, and the old man did not intend to take them away. Thinking about how much this batch of tables and chairs can sell for, who knows that Shen Jiyao doesn't want it, and now he can't take it away, so he had to keep it. He said to Shen Jiyao: "Laosheng, I forgot to tell you, there are few wells in this town, so I have to buy water to eat, but it’s not expensive, a copper plate and a large earthen jar, I’m leaving, you guys do it well, this street is still lively, but the old man is getting old, and the food he makes is not delicious, I don’t want to admit it That's all."

Seeing the lonely look of the old man, Shen Jiyao suddenly felt a little emotional, so he nodded seriously.

The two sent the old man away, and Shen Jiyao automatically ignored the old man's words that the water would be bought with money, and said cheerfully, "Now we can make a rough plan."

Lan Qianjue switched hands to hold Xiaodoumi, looked at the shop together with him, and said, "How do you want to plan it?"

"Fill the air leak first, buy some oil paper to stick around, and then replace a batch of brand new tables and chairs." Shen Jiyao walked to the stove and saw that the stove was cracked, so he said: " The stove also needs to be knocked and rebuilt, and the floor should be washed again, which is almost the way it is, and it will be refined after renovation.”

Lan Qianjue wrote down one by one, without any comments.

Shen Jiyao pulled a chair to sit down, and said with some emotion: "Finally I can do my own thing, I have to go and see what to eat in this town in the next few days, I plan to take breakfast, lunch and dinner and only do unique ones, so you don’t have to worry about doing too many things and only doing one time period.”

"Morning, noon and evening?" Lan Qianjue frowned upon hearing this, and said in a heavy tone, "Then how long are you going to stay in the town, and how will you go back to the village at night?"

Shen Jiyao looked up at Lan Qianjue, he couldn't help but startled when he heard the words, and then suddenly realized: "I'm too big-hearted, I really didn't think about that, so I can just do it in the afternoon, just make breakfast and lunch , let’s see if the momentum is good. If it’s good, we’ll move to the town together when Doumi grows bigger, and let them show us how to grow vegetables, and you can say yes.” When Shen Jiyao started planning for the future, he Very excited.

Lan Qianjue stretched his eyebrows, and said, "Depend on how you develop before making any plans."

Shen Jiyao nodded like that, noncommittal, and the corners of his mouth kept rising as he looked at the store, in a good mood.

The two stayed quietly for a while, Shen Jiyao saw that Lan Qianjue didn't intend to speak, so he took the initiative to say: "Then we should repair it first or something."

Lan Qianjue said: "I won't do it today. I'll find someone to make the tables, chairs, and benches. I'll ask Xu Rong and the others to cut the wood for the house with me. You don't have to worry about it. Just stay in the town for a few days. Just explore the way and think about what you want to do. By the way, the tofu balls I made last time are delicious, so you can also think about it."

Shen Jiyao carefully looked at Lan Qianjue and listened to him. His eyes were full of admiration. Lan Qianjue was really considerate and knew to give himself time to prepare for his affairs. Enjoying it very much, Shen Jiyao smiled and said, "Then shall we go back now?"

"What are you doing here if you don't go back." Lan Qianjue said, "Let's go, while it's still early, I'll go back and make arrangements, and we'll come over tomorrow morning."

Shen Jiyao responded, closed the door of the store with Lan Qianjue, and walked out along the street. Shen Jiyao carefully looked at the snacks again, whether they were dumplings or buns and pasta, and there were only a few of them over and over again. Shen Jiyao was secretly happy , He probably has an idea about what he can do to sell at noon.

Walking out of the street is the bazaar, and the faint hustle and bustle of the bazaar was heard in the snack street before, and it was instantly clear.

Shen Jiyao had just walked a few steps behind Lan Qianjue, when he suddenly remembered that he didn't know where Su Ye's house was, so he said to Lan Qianjue, "Let's go see Su Ye?"

Lan Qianjue said helplessly after hearing the words: "Ji Yao, I have to go back to the village to arrange these things. You can come and find him tomorrow, that's good."

"I was so happy that I forgot." Shen Jiyao said rather ashamedly: "Let's go, let's go back."

When the two returned to the village, the five cooked meals and were waiting for them to eat. Lan Qianjue took a few people up the mountain after eating, and Shen Jiyao went to heat milk for Xiaodoumi to drink.

When they came back in the evening, Lan Qianjue went to find Uncle Li, the village doctor, and borrowed a mule and a bullock cart for him, planning to pull trees to the town tomorrow.

Lan Qianjue arranged everything vigorously and waited for the departure tomorrow morning. Xu Rong and the others knew that they were very happy to go to the town to repair the shop the next day, so they all consciously packed up the axes and saws they needed, and went to the mountain to cut grass Come to feed the mule, and prepare the fodder for the mule tomorrow, and wait for the departure tomorrow morning.

After Lan Qianjue was busy, Shen Jiyao couldn't help, so he drew up a few breakfasts and lunches that he wanted to make, and then went to see what to eat in the town before screening. If there is no overlap with the food he wants to cook, then choose something delicious and easy to cook.

Xu Shi was thinking about opening the store, Shen Jiyao felt that today's time was extremely long, and he finally looked forward to the night, but he was so excited that he lost sleep.

At the end, I don't know when he fell asleep, but he didn't wait for a long time, when the chickens in the yard crowed, he was woken up by Lan Qianjue.

Shen Jiyao turned over and sat up before he was fully awake, and was about to get out of bed before he opened his eyes. Lan Qianjue couldn't help feeling distressed and funny when he saw it, so he helped him get the clothes, put them on and let him sit After waking up, Shen Jiyao nodded in a daze, and began to sit on the bed and doze off.

Lan Qianjue opened the door to wake up a few people, but they had already woken up, the door was open, a few people were sitting on the bed and whispering, when they saw Lan Qianjue came out, they greeted each other, Lan Qianjue nodded. Nodding her head, she saw a faint fire in the opposite stove and walked over to see that Wang Yueer was boiling water.

"Brother Lan, you are awake." Wang Yueer saw Lan Qianjue and greeted him.

Lan Qianjue said lightly: "Well, I'm tired, you go and rest, I'll do it."

Wang Yueer sighed, got up and went back to the house.

After Lan Qianjue boiled the hot water, he called a few people to pour water to wash up. He took a basin of water and went to the house. Seeing Shen Jiyao's head nodding, he couldn't help being a little funny, so he rubbed a cloth towel to wipe his face .

Shen Jiyao stood up and took two steps to finally wake up. After washing up, he went to fill Xiaodoumi with goat milk, wrapped him carefully in a small quilt, and went out to close the door. It was cold outside and the surroundings were dark. Shen Jiyao told Wang Yueer, who was standing aside, to remember to feed the black eggs and poultry, and Wang Yueer responded one by one, watching them leave.

It was already dawn when I drove my mules all the way to the town. The street where the shop is located is located at the east gate. Because this street sells snacks, it is called snack alley by everyone. There are already people selling breakfast on the street. Then, Shen Jiyao ordered six bowls of Yangchun noodles to eat, and the five of them rolled up their sleeves and went to work.

Shen Jiyao waited for Xiaodoumi to wake up and feed her milk, said hello to Lan Qianjue, and then left with Xiaodoumi in his arms. He was going to see what was on sale early.

The number of people in the town gradually increased. Shen Jiyao first took advantage of the fact that there were not many people in the market. He saw that the food stalls sold either noodles or steamed buns, cakes, porridge, pastries, etc., and the recipes were all the same. , there was no major change, and it didn't overlap with the breakfast he thought of.

Shen Jiyao couldn't help being happy for a while, it's best not to repeat, so that he can be unique.

After he walked around the lively places in the town, seeing that it was almost noon, Shen Jiyao returned to the snack alley with Xiaodoumi in his arms.

A lot of wood was piled up in front of the shop, and several people were repairing the air leak on one side of the shop. Seeing Shen Jiyao coming, Lan Qianjue relaxed his frowning brows.

Shen Jiyao pulled a table to a corner and put Xiao Doumi on it to lie down, while he rolled up his sleeves to help a few people.

At noon, Shen Jiyao went to buy food for a few people. There were still stalls on this street, and they also sold the morning things. It was impossible to get full after eating these things. Shen Jiyao couldn't, so he had to go to the restaurant and order some small dishes for them. They ate, and after he fed Xiaodoumi, he carried him out again.

In the market, there are obviously fewer people at this time, and there are fewer hawkers. Selling winter jujubes and citrus are everywhere. According to the season, there are only these two kinds of fruits in the town at this time. Shen Jiyao walked around and watched, Except for restaurants and inns, there are few stalls or teahouses that sell food, and they all sell pasta, which is the same as in the morning.

Shen Jiyao had a complete idea now, he turned back and handed Xiaodoumi to Lan Qianjue, while he went to the rice shop to buy things for his experiments.

The rice shop has everything you need, and Shen Jiyao bought something when he saw that it was useful. When he came out of the rice shop, he carried a lot of things in his hands. He first carried the things back to the shop and checked them carefully. I bought pans, rice cookers, etc., and went to the grocery store to buy pots and rice cookers.

Seeing that he had bought a lot of things, Lan Qianjue couldn't help sneaking over to look through them, and said, "What are you going to do, why did you only buy a little of the same thing."

Shen Jiyao divided various ingredients and said proudly: "These are bought for snacks, and I will make them for you to eat at night. I will cook whichever one is delicious and sell it."

Lan Qianjue pulled a stool over and sat across from him, and said curiously, "Tell me roughly, and let me see what rare things they are."

Shen Jiyao didn't hide it either, he showed Lan Qianjue a pile of miscellaneous ingredients one by one, and then said: "I've thought of four kinds of snacks, this wheat noodles can be made into several kinds of food, and most of these foods I want Use it, let’s talk about soy milk fritters first, use this soybean to grind, mix with water, boil and mix with sucrose, then use wheat flour to knead the noodles to fry fritters, eat with soy milk, or put it in a bowl to dip in soy milk to eat, this The same one."

Shen Jiyao raised his index finger as he spoke, closed the mouth of the soybean bag, then pointed to the glutinous rice and said, "The second one is glutinous rice, which can contain many kinds of vegetables, and the method is very simple. I don’t know the taste. The third is pancakes. I plan to make potato shredded pancakes, which is to cut potato shreds and mix them with wheat flour and scoop them into the pan to bake. After the potatoes and pancakes are cooked, crack an egg on top. The potato cakes are baked and cooked, and sold by weighing. This potato cake can also be made with cornel sauce to spread on top, and some lettuce is wrapped in it. It is very delicious. I want to make dry noodles for the last one, but this is a bit extravagant , I bought some pork to mince the minced meat, fry the tomato and the minced meat into a pot, chop the cabbage and potatoes and fry them well, add the onion and garlic, and coriander, we didn’t eat the coriander and shallot we planted, it’s convenient , don’t put soup after the noodles are out of the pot, just pour the condiments on top to mix with the noodles, and the taste will not be bad, you will know when I make it for you to taste.” Shen Jiyao said so much that his mouth is watering It's gone, so I won't repeat it any more.

The methods of these things he came up with are somewhat biased against the modern ones. After all, the materials are not complete. Even if he has recipes for him to learn, he can’t make exactly the same food, but he is already very content with this, after all He has a lot of confidence in what he wants to make for breakfast.

Lan Qianjue licked his lips, and couldn't help being a little hungry from what he said, looking forward to what Shen Jiyao was going to do.

In the evening, the house was almost repaired, and several people left all the remaining things in the house, and then took the things Shen Jiyao bought and drove the mule back to the village.
