Wind Shakes the Barley

"Grandpa, here I come!" After Xu Yuanyuan entered the door, he put a bag of brown sugar egg cakes on the table.

"Where did you buy it, I only eat "Jiangjia snacks". "Xu Miaolai is getting older and less sleepy. She is watching TV in the living room at this moment, she only glanced at the bag in her granddaughter's hand and put it away.

"Don't worry, this is it. That kid went to set up a stall at the entrance of our hospital. I almost didn't recognize it in the middle of the night." Xu Yuanyuan brought the egg cake to grandpa, opened the bag and let him smell it, "Yes Isn’t it the same taste? How else can I lie to you. If I didn’t clean up quickly after work, you wouldn’t be able to eat it.”

After Xu Yuanyuan placed the order, several overtime doctors and nurses who came out from behind also placed orders, but the kid didn't do much, it seemed that he was just going to test the market, and when the people on the night shift heard the news and went out to buy , the child has been sold out, she guessed that the child was originally intended to be a business for night shift workers.

"Did you pay?" Xu Miaolai asked worriedly.

"That's for sure. If he doesn't want it, I have to give it to him, but the amount I give you must be more than others. I can't help it." Xu Yuanyuan said.

"Didn't Xiaochang say that this kid is going to study while selling food?" Xu Miaolai muttered while eating.

After the granddaughter left, Xu Miaolai put the rest in the refrigerator, picked up the phone and dialed a number.

Jiang Xu has been very busy recently. He has to set up a stall to sell cakes early in the morning every day. Now he has increased the types of cakes he makes. Many people like to eat stuffed ones, so he put the pastry fillings on top of the cakes.With more varieties, more people came to buy. Some people not only eat breakfast for themselves, but also bring it to others. At the beginning, what he made was always not enough to sell. Later, he simply got up at three or four in the morning to work, and the most At that time, he could make hundreds of cakes and made a lot of money.

However, he also knew that it was not good for his health, so after finishing the business in the morning, he usually went back to rest. Sometimes he came out at noon, and sometimes he didn't come out, but there must be another round of sales before dinner.

He no longer sells popcorn, because there are already popcorn stalls in front of the school or in the supermarket. I didn't want to compete with those people, so I stopped selling it later.

Recently, he also discovered a business opportunity, that is, there are many people on duty in the hospital every night, and those people will order food at nine or ten o'clock and save it for midnight.After he found out about it, he became concerned.Thinking of the porridge that Dr. Chang taught him to make, he thought that he could try selling porridge and cakes at the entrance of the hospital at night, maybe there would be a good business.

Facts have proved that it is exactly what he thought, especially the porridge he made, the evaluation is very good, some people even hope that he can make it in the morning. .

In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend again, and he got up before dawn as usual, and when he packed the cakes, it was time to go out.

He didn't do much today, because everyone was on holiday on weekends, and there weren't too many people who would come out to buy breakfast, so he planned to come back as soon as they were sold out, and his mother would also deliver the beans today.

"I want a red bean pancake."

"Okay—eh?" Jiang Xu raised his head in surprise, and when he saw the person coming, the smile on his face suddenly became brighter than the sun, "Doctor Chang, why are you here?" He said and quickly took it out of the cabinet. A still warm red bean pancake was handed over: "Eat it quickly."

Chang Qi took it and glanced at the few cakes left in the food cabinet, and asked while eating, "Business is good?"

"En." Jiang Xu nodded, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I have made a lot of money, and I would like to thank you for thinking of this method."

While the two were talking, a few more people came over, and the remaining cakes were quickly sold out.

Jiang Xu happily collected the money and asked Dr. Chang, "Do you want to go to my place?"

"Let's go." Chang Qi clapped his hands after eating the cake, and walked towards the rental house with Jiang Xu.

After entering the community, Chang Qi told Jiang Xu to wait a while, and he went to the guard to take back the things Jiang's mother had brought, and put them in the car.

"My mother asked you to bring it?" Jiang Xu saw these things and thought his mother was not free to come, so he asked Dr. Chang to come here, and he was a little embarrassed, "These things are available in supermarkets. Next time my mother If you can’t come because of something, I’ll just buy it from the supermarket, and you don’t have to make a special trip.”

"I wanted to see you, so I brought these things here so that your mother wouldn't have to go again." Chang Qi explained.

"Oh." Jiang Xu blinked, kicked his feet forward vigorously, and his eyes were bright when he turned around, "So, you are here to see me?"

Seeing Dr. Chang nodding, Jiang Xu suddenly became excited. He rode down the building quickly, put the car away, picked up the food cabinet and ran in. After two steps, he suddenly turned back and walked to Chang Qi. Beside him, walking forward with his pace: "I made you a new pastry, and I will bring it to you later."

"Okay." Chang Qi glanced at him and smiled, "What new patterns have you printed recently?"

"moon."

As soon as the words were finished, the voice-activated lights above the head flicked on, illuminating the dark corridor brightly.

Chang Qi turned his head and just bumped into Jiang Xu's black eyes, in which there were circles of silver halos constantly circulating. He paused slightly in his throat, and stretched out his hand to turn his head back, "Look at the road."

"The key is in the left pocket of my coat, please help me open the door." Jiang Xu hugged the cabinet and it was inconvenient to open the door by himself, so he turned around and asked Doctor Chang to help him with the key.

After the two entered the door, Jiang Xu put down his things, first poured a glass of water for Dr. Chang, so as to relieve the red bean cake he had just eaten, and then took out the box he had prepared in the morning from the kitchen.

Chang Qi opened it, and there were still five pieces of red bean cake inside, and a circle the size of a coin was printed on the upper right corner. This was probably the moon Jiang Xu was talking about.But if Jiang Xu hadn't said it in advance, his first reaction would have been to think that these are two inscribed circles.

"What do you think...?" Jiang Xu felt that Dr. Chang's expression didn't seem to like him very much. For a while, he regretted choosing a model. It should be the one in Yamagata. Thought it was the sun.

After thinking about it, he decided to buy the mountain pattern next time he went out.

"It's very good. Anyway, everyone just read it for a fresh look. As long as they like to eat, they will buy whatever pattern you have printed on it." Chang Qi said.

Jiang Xu's eyelashes trembled, he looked down at the box on the table, and said in a low voice, "You're right."

But he didn't sell it to anyone else.

Chang Qi put the box aside first, and tapped his index finger on the table: "After eating so many pastries from you, it's time for me to give you something."

"Ah?" Jiang Xu raised his head, his slightly bright eyes didn't match his words at all, "You taught me how to make these, so don't give me anything."

Chang Qi curled up his lips: "How can I do it, I must give it away." After saying that, he took out a portfolio from the bag he brought.

Jiang Xu's eyes were full of doubts, and he couldn't think of any gift that needed to be stored in a file.

"This is the mid-term exam paper for all science subjects in the second semester of high school in city A that I asked someone to bring to you." Chang Qi spread out a thick stack of papers in front of Jiang Xu who was already dumbfounded, and rubbed him on the head by the way. Rubbing, with an extremely gentle tone, "You eat first, and I will watch you cook after eating. If you can't finish, don't go out today."

Jiang Xu stared at the test paper for half a minute before recovering. He pressed his hand on the test paper, feeling the thickness of the gift. At this moment, his heart was as cold as the test paper under his hand, and he murmured: " Why?"

His heart was filled with endless disappointment but he couldn't open his mouth. So much expectation was exchanged for a cold exam in the end. Although he knew that Dr. Chang's heart was good, he was so sad that he wanted to cry, "I'm here It's actually quite hard, it's rare for you to come here today, why don't we go out to play, I'll do these papers later."

"Oh, it turned out to be quite hard work." Chang Qi nodded suddenly, seeing that Jiang Xu's face gradually recovered because of his words, he just smiled slightly, and raised his hand to pinch the immature face. Squeezed, "I heard that you can stay out of the stall until midnight every night, so I thought our classmate Jiang Xu was very energetic!"
