Toffee Master

"Look, if you look at it again, the food will be completely cold."

Yang Xingyu walked through the crowd to Tang Ye's side, grabbed the hat behind his down jacket, and dragged the man forward. It seemed that he had a lot of strength, but in fact he didn't use any strength at all.

Tang Ye smirked, his hat was pulled up, and now it was covered more tightly, only a pair of eyes were exposed from all over his body.

The two walked to a mutton soup restaurant. As soon as they entered the door, they felt like sneezing from the smell of chili and pepper. The temperature inside the room was very different from the outside, and the humidity was also completely different. Soup was served.

The thick white soup is full of lamb haggis, almost overflowing the white porcelain bowl, and a layer of coriander and chopped green onion is spread on top.

Tang Ye swallowed loudly, squinted his eyes in satisfaction after taking a sip of the original soup, and then put two tablespoons of chili, a spoonful of vinegar and a little pepper into it.

"Eat less chili, it's easy to get angry."

Yang Xingyu instructed that the amount of chili peppers he put in his bowl was not soft at all, and the mutton soup was instantly stained with red oil.

Tang Ye basically didn't speak when eating. He took a bite of the beef pot stickers, and his eyes kept lingering on the chili oil on Yang Xingyu's bowl of mutton soup.

The two of them drank a bowl of soup, and the coldness in their bodies dissipated, and Yang Xingyu even sweated from the heat.

There are many people who come to drink soup in the morning. After all, mutton soup is very effective in dispelling cold, so many people are waiting nearby.

The two young men had a lot of food, and all the things on the table were wiped out in a short while. The people around were dumbfounded, and an old man even clapped his hands: "That's right, children should have such a good appetite!"

Tang Ye and Yang Xingyu were so embarrassed that they didn't dare to occupy their seats after eating, so they hurriedly got up to give up their seats to others.

The two of them stood at the door, and the cold wind blew in from the outside, both shivering.

"Wipe the sweat off your forehead, or you'll catch a cold easily."

Yang Xingyu took a small pack of tissues from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Tang Ye, folded the two sheets together, and dabbed two handfuls on his face indiscriminately.

Tang Ye took it obediently, carefully wiped off the sweat on the tip of his nose, and buttoned his clothes tightly before pushing the door and going out.

The dry and cold air spread all over his body in an instant, and Tang Ye, who was full, couldn't hold back, and stretched himself on the spot: "This food is really delicious, let's come back after school starts."

"If you can get up early in the morning, I will bring you here."

Yang Xingyu smiled, "Let's go shopping."

"What exactly do you want to buy?" Tang Ye asked.

Yang Xingyu didn't answer, but with his arm around Tang Ye's neck, he led him through the crowd and went straight to the other side of the street.

Tang Ye saw a large area of ​​red from a distance, and he froze for a moment: "Brother Yu, are you going to buy couplets?"

"I finally figured it out."

Yang Xingyu let go of him, and pointed to the beaming area in the distance, "The rented house is also a home, let's treat it as Chinese New Year today, clean up the house, and then paste the couplets and blessings."

Tang Ye's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously, "Okay! Let's treat the meal at noon as the New Year's Eve dinner!"

He seemed to be infected by the joy of the New Year, and his whole heart flew up.

The two bought a lot of couplets at the small stalls selling couplets. They took into account the big and small doors of the house, and even bought a small pair of couplets specially for the little eDonkey.

They went downstairs, took out the glue they bought, and took out the couplets of the small eDonkey to paste them on.

"Where is the best place to stick it?"

Tang Ye shook the child's palm-sized blessing, and there were two couplets about ten centimeters in length.

"Just go ahead."

Yang Xingyu squatted in front of the small electric stove, and patted the emerald green shell above the front wheel.

Tang Ye nodded, and handed him the glued couplet. Yang Xingyu measured it empty-handedly, and firmly pasted the couplet on the small eDonkey.

The bright red couplets in front of the green eDonkey look a little funny in the festivities.

Tang Ye and Yang Xingyu admired it for a while, then took out their mobile phones and took a picture of the scene.

They looked at each other and laughed.

The two went upstairs with other things, and found someone in the corridor as soon as they got out of the elevator.

They froze for a moment, but before they could react, the other party greeted them first.

"Little Yang, are you back?"

A chubby and kind-looking woman stood in front of Yang Xingyu's rental house, holding a stack of red couplets in her hand, "Yeah, you bought it too."

Yang Xingyu panicked when he saw someone coming, his landlord actually came!And even had a face-to-face meeting with Xiaotangzhi!

"Xiao Yang, did you come here on purpose? Who is this handsome guy? Your friend or your younger brother." The landlord is a very familiar person, but he feels very kind. She laughed, "It shouldn't be the younger brother, the skin color difference between you two is too great."

Tang Ye greeted obediently: "Hi sister, I'm Yang Xingyu's classmate, Tang Ye."

Seeing Yang Xingyu's appearance, he more or less guessed the identity of the woman in front of him. Tang Ye wanted to laugh, wondering how Yang Xingyu would continue to hide the matter of the rental house for a while.

The landlord touched his face and said with a bright smile, "Oh, you have such a sweet mouth, and you call me sister. I'm already the same age as your mother."

Tang Ye pretended to be surprised, and said with a smile, "Really? I didn't even see it!"

The landlord smiled even more happily, and took out a large handful of peanuts and melon seeds from the pocket he was carrying, and stuffed them into Tang Ye's hands: "Eat more, you look thinner."

Tang Ye didn't refuse, and nodded in response, while eating melon seeds: "It's so fragrant, and the melon seeds are big, sister, you really know how to buy them."

Yang Xingyu looked at the two enthusiastic people in front of him in surprise, and he was taken aback for a moment, why is Xiaotangzhi already familiar with his landlord?How about exchanging contact information?

no!Absolutely not!If this continues, Xiaotangzhi will know that he still rents this house!

Yang Xingyu's heart was full of alarms, he squeezed between the two of them, turned sideways to block Tang Ye behind him, smiled and said to the landlord: "Aunt...Sister, just leave this trivial matter to me, please Go for a run."

He habitually called her Auntie, but immediately realized that Xiao Tangzhi called her sister just now, if he still called her Auntie, wouldn't he be a generation shorter than Xiao Tangzhi?

The landlord laughed and said, "What are you doing! What's the trouble? I'm not far away, but you..."

Yang Xingyu was afraid that she would talk too much, so he quickly shook the couplet in his hand: "I'm not busy, sister, you still have to take care of your home, how about this, we posted the couplet for you, and you can just go back and do your homework."

Tang Ye poked his head out from behind him, and echoed, "Brother Yu is right, we have a lot of free time, so leave this to us."

The landlord is indeed very busy. Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. Not only does she have to clean her house, she also has to prepare some New Year's goods.

"That's all right, I'll trouble you."

She stuffed the couplets in Yang Xingyu's hands, and brought out some oranges and nuts, "This is the couplets I bought, you can use whichever you like, and I'll go first."

Yang Xingyu was eager for her to leave quickly, so he nodded quickly: "Don't worry, leave it to us."

The landlord said goodbye to them, got into the elevator and went downstairs.

The corridor became quiet, Yang Xingyu looked at Tang Ye frequently from the corner of his eye, his little heart was pounding, he didn't know if Xiao Tangzhi had found anything,

"That was my former landlord..."

"Brother Yu, let's start posting couplets..."

The two spoke at the same time.

Tang Ye and Yang Xingyu looked at each other in surprise, and laughed together after being stunned for two seconds.

"Let's post couplets," Yang Xingyu said.

He vaguely felt that Xiao Tangzhi already knew about the rented house, but since the other party was afraid that he would not mention it, he would not keep talking about it without being kind.

"Well, this is the first time I've posted couplets by myself. Before, my parents wouldn't let me do it, saying that my hands were shaking and it was easy to post crookedly."

Tang Ye was in high spirits. He opened the door of his rental house while talking, and took out a chair from the inside.

"Your hands are shaking? Then I have to help you look at the position of the couplet."

The two pasted couplets and blessing characters on the doors outside the two rental houses, and the corridors suddenly became prosperous.

They went back to Tang Ye's rental house and pasted blessings on the kitchen, balcony and the doors of the two bedrooms.

Yang Xingyu also bought a string of small lanterns, which he carried around the room: "Where do these things look better?"

Tang Ye pointed to the balcony: "I think that's pretty good."

He stuffed all the shortbread in his mouth, trotted to the balcony, and waved his arm: "You can see it downstairs."

As he spoke, he glanced outside, then paused, as if he couldn't believe it, and pressed his face against the sliding door of the balcony.

"What are you doing?" Yang Xingyu thought it was funny, so he walked over and patted him on the head lightly.

"The result!"

Tang Ye looked at him excitedly.

"what?"

Tang Ye opened the sliding door of the balcony, and the cold wind rushed in. Yang Xingyu shivered suddenly: "Tang Tang Ye, you are crazy..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stunned. The five large flower pots on the balcony were tightly fastened by plastic sheets, but the flourishing green inside could still be clearly seen, and two of the pots were dotted with these red flowers.

"The cherry tomatoes and the little strawberries!"

Tang Ye squatted directly in front of the five basins, staring at them with bright eyes.

Yang Xingyu also squatted over, and when he got closer, he realized that the five pots were cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, coriander and strawberries.

Cherry tomatoes and small strawberries grow the best and are fruitful.

There are only two or three small cucumbers. There are a little more peppers but they are all small. The coriander grows the worst, and half of them have withered.

Tang Ye opened the plastic sheet fastened to it, and touched the withered parsley distressedly: "These can make a plate of spicy shredded pork."

Yang Xingyu almost laughed out loud when he heard his words.

"Is this a New Year's gift?" Tang Ye's emotions came and went quickly, and he turned around and asked Yang Xingyu this question with a smile.

"Calculate!"

Yang Xingyu thought for a while and said, "At first I thought you were planting flowers."

"Flowers can't be eaten, why grow flowers." Tang Ye stretched out his hand carefully, and slowly approached the little red strawberry.

"But you can drink it in water."

"Oh~ I can plant some next semester."

Tang Ye picked a small strawberry and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour juice exploded in his mouth. He quickly picked another strawberry and put it directly in Yang Xingyu's mouth, "Brother Yu, try it, it's delicious!"

Feeling the cold touch, Yang Xingyu pursed his lower lip, opened his mouth to bite the little strawberry without picking it up with his hands.

"How does it taste?" Tang Ye asked.

Yang Xingyu tilted his head slightly: "It's delicious."

The two took off the "New Year's gift" and washed it, and ordered a sumptuous lunch takeaway.

Tang Ye held up the orange juice and clicked his lips: "It would be great if this was wine, it's more like a New Year's Eve dinner."

"You drink?" Yang Xingyu asked in surprise, he didn't even drink it, he didn't expect the little candy paper to be quite wild.

"No." Tang Ye smiled and shook his head, "I'm not yet of age."

"You're so good." Yang Xingyu suddenly remembered that Xiao Tangzhi had performed drinking air wine for him in the classroom before, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

The two were eating happily when they suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor outside the door. Listening carefully, it seemed that they came from the next door.

"Sister is back?" Tang Ye asked, swallowing the roasted chicken leg in his mouth.

Yang Xingyu reacted for a while before realizing that the sister he was talking about was the landlord next door: "Maybe."

The two of them didn't pay attention, but after a while, there was a sudden burst of loud voices in the corridor, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a quarrel.

Not only that, Tang Ye and Yang Xingyu became more and more familiar with the voice outside.

"I'll go out and take a look." Yang Xingyu had a bad feeling, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up.

"I'm with you." Tang Ye hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and followed him.

When the two opened the door, they saw four people standing in the corridor, facing each other two by two, glaring at each other.

"Dad, Mom! Why are you here!"

Tang Ye and Yang Xingyu were stunned when they saw the person coming, and said in unison.
