As the name suggests, Tangbao shop is a famous candy shop in Henan.

This shop is said to have been opened here since the Song Dynasty, with a history of more than [-] years, and it is now regarded as a living sign in the local area.

It is said that the first-generation boss at that time was a sugar seller who walked the streets and alleys. Because the people of the Song Dynasty were addicted to sweets, and the veteran craftsmen had some special products, they gradually became famous and attracted the favor of Emperor Renzong at that time. It was hand-picked as a tribute, so many famous ministers visited his stall, so they left a lot of poems.

In this way, relying on the fame of the Emperor Song Dynasty and his courtiers, the veteran craftsman saved a lot of money, and bought a relatively remote shop, which was used to cook and sell sugar on weekdays.

The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, the aroma of candies is no less than the aroma of wine, and the main way of selling sugar products is to sell along the street or set up stalls in the market, so there is no big requirement for the location of the store.

But when luck comes, you can't escape, and as time goes on, in Daming, this remote alley has become a local downtown because of urban planning and road reconstruction.The small facade of the past has also been expanded several times and has become a landmark building today.

↑The above are all the popular science that Jin Yiwei gave Mu Bai when a group of people went to the candy store.

Don't look at how majestic these people are after putting on uniforms and taking up weapons. They actually like to listen to gossip in private, and there are more stories than one.

As soon as Mu Bai raised his head, he saw the so-called "landmark building" from a distance.

Well, it's pretty iconic.I don't know which generation of shopkeepers had a whim, so people made a huge paper candy and put it on the roof.I also want to know that this huge paper bundle will be the dream of many local children.

"So you are also here to buy sugar?" Mu Bai looked at the nearly twenty soldiers who were walking behind his Fugui brother, and the round eyes [As for so many people coming out to fish together?If you want to eat candy, find someone to buy it for you] Don’t be too obvious, the soldiers who can read information from the air can only turn a blind eye to such obvious doubts.

They don't want to either!

A group of old men ran to buy candy, how sissy, but their protected object insisted on going, how could they drop it?Of course I can only follow.

Hey, so is the crown prince. This candy shop is quite famous in Henan, but it is a folk snack after all, and it can taste better than the imperial dining room?

Besides, if you really want to eat, let your subordinates come out to buy it, why come here in person, thinking about the scene of facing the house full of children, families, and children later, the soldiers will feel suffocated.

Before he reached the shop with a huge paper bundle, Mu Wen couldn't sit still.In Mu Bai's words, his younger brother is just a puppy, and his sense of smell is really amazing.

This point may have been practiced in Xiumang Village.Back then, when they hadn’t eaten with the village chief’s house, poor Mu Xiaowen was forced to endure his craftsmanship. The child had no choice but to be greedy, so he often wandered out during meal times and sniffed at other people’s food. The aroma goes with the meal.

Over time, Mu Wen's nose has developed a unique skill - not only can he smell what kind of food is burned, but also what kind of spices are used, and whether it is delicious or not.

Therefore, when the Mu family brothers go out, if the food stalls in the Xunfan shop are always open to let the younger brother go, follow Mu Wen, and they will never step on thunder.

Judging from Mu Xiaowen's excited appearance, the candy shop's boiled syrup should be very good.

Mu Bai firmly hugged his younger brother who was already in his arms and couldn't wait to jump up, with a very calm expression.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the appearance of the brothers is a bit scary.

The older one was just over waist height, and a child of this age doesn't have much arm strength. He looked quite reluctant to hold a chubby child, and the child was still shaking in his arms.The passers-by who passed by could completely imagine the appearance of the two brothers falling together at the next moment.

Children are intimate because they are ignorant, are you also ignorant as an adult?What if the child falls?With so many people walking on the road, what if someone accidentally steps on it?

The eyes of the righteous passers-by immediately pierced the young man who was following the two children, and the strong sense of condemnation in it made the prince touch his nose. He coughed dryly, and leaned towards the enthusiastic eyes of the crowd, "Ah Bai, how about Let me hug Arwen?"

Mu Bai looked up a little puzzled, he hugged him very well, why bother others?It's really not that Mu Xiaobai is insensitive to the eyes of the people around him, it's just that there are too many people looking at him with these eyes since he was a child. ==

He has grown taller now, but Mu Bai was only a little older when he first arrived in Yunnan. The appearance of him holding Mu Wen seemed to outsiders to be forced and dangerous, and there were countless enthusiastic people at that time. Ren couldn't see it, and wanted to help him carry his younger brother.

But Mu Xiaowen at that time was not as talkative as he is now, and no one could tear this insecure child away from his elder brother.

The reason why Mu Bai's local spoken language progressed rapidly was that at first he apologized to his crying brother who raised the alarm and explained that he could really memorize his brother.

Later, every time he went to a place, he had to come here several times. Over time, Mu Bai got used to the eyes of outsiders.

In fact, after he stretched a little, the height of the two brothers was much smaller than that of people who would look at him like this after the elongation. In addition, Mu Wen could also run and jump by himself later, full of energy, and generally did not need to be hugged by his brother. walk.

Today is because there are many people who are afraid of being separated, so Mu Bai hugged him.

Looking at his new friend who was obviously innocent but was strongly condemned by the people around him, and then at the bustling crowd, Mu Bai hesitated, and handed the child out: "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, Brother Fugui, Wen'er he A bit heavy..."

"It's okay." The young man held Mu Xiaowen firmly in his arms, and skillfully changed his position to let him sit on his arm.This posture is much more tiring for the one holding someone than letting the child lie on the shoulders, but for the child, he can clearly see the person in front of him and feel full of security.

The little Mu Wen who can clearly see brother gave a thumbs up for this.

When Mu Bai withdrew his hand, he saw some distorted expressions of the soldiers. He was already very familiar with this expression. Every time he called his new friend "Brother Fugui", they would show this look.

Just... he can quite understand the feelings of these soldiers.

As a young man with normal aesthetics, when he heard this new friend's name, Mu Bai's expression was as stiff and distorted as theirs.

At that time, he thought it was due to cultural differences between different places. After carefully confirming that the other party's family was Han Chinese, Mu Bai even doubted whether there was something wrong with the traditional thinking mode in his mind.What about the Han Chinese who are reserved and the barbarians direct?

Is it okay to just name the child "Fugui"?

Especially with the new friend's surname, my God, Zhu Fugui, when you hear the name, you can think of a rich man with a big belly, and most of them are rich and unkind.

This name does not match the appearance of this Jin Yiwei at all.

Zhu Fugui himself is tall and tall. Not only does he not have a general belly, but he also has abdominal muscles. Moreover, he is only 28 years old this year. He has handsome features, smiles before he speaks, and looks very happy.

Most importantly, he hasn't grown a beard yet, and his clean chin makes him look younger.

It's quite strange to say this, my husband once taught him the basic tricks of face-to-face, and one of them was to look at the beard.

Han men are very particular about growing their beards. Because some people played the rhythm of "grow a beard to express mourning" earlier, gradually, there is a traditional custom of growing a beard when the parents die.

That is to say, when the father dies, the upper lip mustache should be grown, the mother should have a beard when the mother dies, and the parents should grow the upper and lower beards together. Therefore, sometimes you can judge the family situation of the person by looking at the beard, and avoid poking someone's wounds as soon as they open their mouths.

But there is also an accident. Apart from expressing grief for parents, there is actually a way to grow beards for parents. Therefore, many Han people will start to grow beards after entering the workplace to show that they are mature and reliable men, and Shangfeng can rest assured to entrust him with tasks.

Therefore, it is strange that Zhu Fugui has entered the workplace but has no beard.

"Ah, this." Zhu Fugui's own explanation for this is very simple, "My child doesn't like it, and thinks it hurts, so I didn't grow it. It won't be too late to grow it when he can appreciate the beautiful beard."

Mu Bai was shocked immediately, thinking that Zhu Fugui must be a great father, but he hoped that the children of Brother Fugui's family would not be like him who couldn't appreciate beards at all, then Brother Fugui would be doomed to be non-mainstream.

The bearded man has been the mainstream of aesthetics from the Spring and Autumn Period to today. A beautiful and exquisite beard is definitely the focus of the crowd. Men are absolutely as enthusiastic about grooming their beards as women are about taking care of their faces.

When Mu Bai was in Kunming, he also met a soldier who went to the market to buy dyes to dye his beard on holidays.However, due to the short fixation time of natural dyes and the fact that beards are not easy to color, these people's attempts ended in failure, but this shows how much the Han people care about beards.

By the way, Mu Bai can't accept a beard at all, and he himself will never grow a beard in the future.Because when Mubai hadn't developed much wisdom, he had encountered a little friend using it to shave his beard.

He was still ignorant when it happened, but when he thought about it later, he got more and more angry.

I can accept you using me to cut fish, but I absolutely can't stand you using me to shave your beard!This is Mu Bai's pride as a weapon monster!

Although he can't find someone to reason with now, but the diss mentality towards Huzi has been deeply buried in Mu Bai's heart.

Hey, think about it carefully, Brother Fugui is really a good father, except for the name... Mu Bai suddenly realized a problem, he hesitated and asked Brother Fugui's son's name very reservedly, which elicited a burst of laughter from the young man.

"Is my name a bit earthy?" Zhu Fugui said while changing positions for Mu Xiaowen, "Actually, there is a reason for this."

"My great-grandfather was a gold digger in the Yuan Dynasty... A gold digger is a profession that is responsible for digging gold. According to the regulations of Beiyuan, no matter whether gold is dug or not, they need to pay a tax to the government every month."

"But when the family was passed down to my grandfather's generation, there were no gold mines in the area, so they could only sell their property to pay taxes. In the end, they became poor peasants and had to take the whole family to work for the landlord." Speaking of this passage At that time, Zhu Fugui had a calm expression on his face.

Mu Bai opened his mouth, he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only clench his fists and curse the Yuan government for not doing anything.

Zhu Fugui shook his head and didn't say much about it, "My father is the youngest son in the family. He has been herding cattle for the landlord since he was a child. The family's expectation has also changed from a prosperous ancestor to a prosperous and safe family."

"Afterwards, there was a severe drought. My grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, and cousin starved to death one after another. Only my father and my second uncle were left behind. The second uncle gave all the remaining food in the family to my father. He left home by himself and was never heard from again. Only my father was left in the whole family."

Zhu Fugui patted the back of the child who was listening intently to him, smoothed his short hair, and continued: "Father said that before his death, his grandfather told him that when he had a grandson, he would be called Fugui, and his father agreed. So even if he thinks the name is not good after studying later, I have to bear it."

Mu Bai opened his mouth, his expression was somewhat blank, he didn't know how to comfort this new friend at this moment.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Fugui smiled suddenly, "My father was very difficult after I was born, and he was desperate on the battlefield every day. One day, he told me that he felt that he could not hold on for several times, but he just felt He couldn’t let the name his grandfather gave to his grandson go to waste, so he persisted. Later, he also decided to follow the example of his grandfather and give his grandson the name first.”

Mu Bai nodded, feeling that this statement was reasonable, as an excellent chatter, he took advantage of the situation and asked, "What name did your father take?"

The young man smiled meaningfully: "At that time, my father was eager to recruit heroes from all over the world, so he wanted to name my son [Hero]. My mother had studied some books when she was still in her boudoir, so she wanted to stop him, but she couldn't bear to be with him." He threw cold water on his head, so he gently persuaded that the name was too straightforward."

"So..." He looked at the child with an indescribably open mouth and said, "Father reversed the word and named my eldest son Zhu Xiongying."
