The hero asked for a divorce for me
Chapter 22
While waiting for the sugar man, Lin Miao had already listed in his head what would happen when he got into the carriage later.
There are only two possible outcomes, one is that Xie Yan picked it up, and the other is that Xie Yan didn't pick it up.
Choose one of the two, Lin Miao thinks the latter is more likely.After all, what he held in his hand was a sugar figurine, not a little golden figurine.People like Xie Yan reckoned that even if they really wanted it with a little childlike innocence, they would not be able to reach out to take it because of face.
So Lin Miao looked at this sugar man and felt that it was safe.If Xie Yan didn't reach out to pick it up, then he would take this sugar figurine home to Biru or eat two servings for himself, which is not a waste at all.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Miao felt nothing.I have done the etiquette myself, so it doesn't matter how perverted Xie Yan is.
Talk about the moment.
Xie Yan was sitting in the innermost part of the carriage, the surprise on his face hadn't stopped yet.And Lin Miao was bent over, supporting the seat next to the car wall with one hand, and holding two sugar figures in the other, his eyes were dripping with defense and idea.
You don't want me and I won't force you, don't force yourself.
Seeing that Xie Yan didn't move, Lin Miao felt that his previous guess was right. Xie Yan wouldn't want such a childish snack. His hand holding the candy figurine was eager to take it back.
From Xie Yan's side, he was surprised at Lin Miao's move at first.
The carriage drove all the way from North Street, and when it arrived at the intersection between the north and the south, there was nothing wrong with it, but Lin Miao's voice was familiar to Xie Yan, and it entered Xie Yan's ears as soon as he opened his mouth.
However, that maddened tone was quite different from Xie Yan's impression in the past, making Xie Yan not sure whether the one outside was Lin Miao for a while.
He was a little uncertain at first, but when he got out of the carriage and took a look over there, it turned out that Lin Miao was really standing among a group of children complacently.
But with his demeanor, no one would think he looks like an adult.
It turns out that the tongue is really sharp, but usually hides this side, Xie Yan thought.
Later, after listening to the report from the manager of the bank, when he got into the carriage and was about to leave, he suddenly had the idea of taking Lin Miao along.Just when Xie Yan felt a little regretful and wanted to let Lin Miao go down directly, Lin Miao handed over the sugar figurine.
Xie Yan had never eaten sugar figurines, but for a long time in his childhood he was particularly envious of children who could eat sugar figurines.Originally thought that it was just some boring and trivial things floating in the memory, but the sugar figure that Lin Miao handed over made Xie Yan feel as if a needle had been pricked in his heart.
At this moment, Lin Miao and the sugar figure in his hand suddenly seemed to pass through Xie Yan's memory and stood in front of him in the past.
Until the sugar man flickered and seemed to be recycling.
Xie Yan's eyes that diverged because of his thoughts suddenly focused, and he raised his hand to grab the sugar figurine in Lin Miao's hand.This sudden movement startled Lin Miao and almost threw the other sugar figure away.
The sugar figurine was tilted in Lin Miao's hands, but he didn't keep it, and it was about to hit the ground with a slap.
Lin Miao let out a hello, and managed to grab the sugar figurine's bamboo stick in a hurry. At this moment, the sugar figurine almost touched the ground under its head.
Two shocks were added together, and before Lin Miao recovered, she looked up and saw Xie Yan holding a candy figurine firmly in his hand, looking up at him, there was no meaning in that gaze, with A little chilly and a little thoughtful.
This made Lin Miao just stare at his shoe uppers as if nothing had happened just now.
A thing that kills thousands of knives, make fun of me.
"Do you like this?" Xie Yan asked Lin Miao.
Lin Miao thought that Xie Yan's words were derogatory, and felt that Xie Yan was discriminating against food. After thinking about it, there should be nothing he couldn't say.So he raised his head to defend the sugar man, "I like it, it looks good, and it tastes sweet, many people like it."
"Eat it often?"
"It's not a regular meal. I didn't eat it when I was a child. Now I eat it once in a while." Lin Miao said honestly.
He wasn't a liar. When they were at home, they really couldn't find a place to make sugar figurines in the urban area. I've seen it when I went to the scenic spot later, but I thought it was too black-hearted, and I looked like an idiot when I bought it.It wasn't until here that Lin Miao felt that it was worth buying.
Xie Yan added: "Eating this now, don't you feel childish and ashamed?"
Sure enough, you look down on my sugar man, you bastard, don't take my sugar man if you have the backbone.
Lin Miao gained a bit of backbone because of holding her breath, and said, "Why would you be ashamed? I think it's not ashamed to want to eat now because I didn't eat it when I was a child. It would be childish and embarrassing to eat without losing face."
And I can bend and stretch a man.
Xie Yan dismissed that thought as a trivial matter, but because of Lin Miao's words, a hand suddenly peeled off the layers of skin covering them, revealing the unhealed bloody wound inside.
Maybe it has something to do with Sugar Man, maybe it has nothing to do with Sugar Man.To pretend not to care even though you still care about it, to act as if you have nothing to do when you are still scorchingly uncomfortable, this is an extreme fall.
Embarrassment, anger, and bewilderment became a complex emotion that hit Xie Yan's chest, but it turned into a touch of helplessness and relief in an instant.
That was the case, and he had nothing to argue with.
He looked at Lin Miao who said these words in disbelief, but found that the other party had already lowered his head to look at the sugar figurine in his hand, as if hesitating whether to lick it or not.
There was a long silence in the carriage, as if no one would speak until it stopped again.
Lin Miao looked at Xie Yan quietly from the corner of his eye, and found that he was not looking at himself but looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking.Lin Miao withdrew her thoughts, lowered her head and ate the sugar figurine into her mouth and took a sip.
"Why couldn't you eat sugar man when you were young?" Xie Yan still didn't look at Lin Miao, but asked Lin Miao about it.
Lin Miao spat out the candy figurine and said truthfully: "There used to be no one in front of our house, and my mother wouldn't let me eat it, saying that it would ruin my teeth."
"I never ate sugar figurines when I was a child," Xie Yan said. "I really wanted to eat them for a while, but I couldn't eat them in the end, and then I didn't want to."
If you don't want it, give it back to me.
Lin Miao stared at the sugar figurine Xie Yan was holding tightly, and didn't dare to ask for it back. She just said, "The taste will change when you grow up."
At this moment, the tone of the conversation between the two was very peaceful and Xie Yan didn't look angry. Lin Miao took the opportunity to brag about herself, "But my taste has not changed. I loved it when I was young. What, what do you still like to eat now, it won’t change in the future.”
His mother once said that Lin Miao is not a showman, in other words, he is a representative of no future, but Lin Miao thinks it is very good, what an honest and responsible young man.
Xie Yan turned to look at Lin Miao, "You won't change?"
Lin Miao thought she was being questioned, so she nodded without hesitation and said, "I will not change."
Xie Yan suddenly realized that he and Lin Miao were like opposite sides of each other, a seemingly perfect but full of flaws, and a seemingly full of loopholes but solid inside.
He curled his lips into a self-deprecating smile and stopped talking.
The horseshoes landed on the wide street all the way forward.
Lin Miao got out of the carriage, turned around and said goodbye to Xie Yan in a polite manner, then walked around the main entrance with the sugar figurine and entered the palace from the back alley.People passed by him from time to time along the way, and Lin Miao didn't have the nerve to eat the candy man, so he had to take the candy man back to the courtyard.
When Biru saw him coming back, she looked at the sugar figurine in his hand, thought it was for herself, and ran over with a smile on her face.
As a result, he raised Lin Miao's hand and saw that half of the little tiger's head had been eaten.
Bi Ru followed Lin Miao into the house, muttering as he walked, "Young master eats alone."
Lin Miao said: "I didn't eat alone. Yours was taken by the princess. If you want to eat, just ask the princess."
How dare Biru?Immediately closed the sound.
Xie Yan didn't come to live recently, which made Lin Miao feel much more comfortable.As soon as he entered the room, he would sit with Biru and eat small fruits, tell Biru what was going on outside, and when he was tired, he would forget to lie down on the soft couch and let Biru read a storybook to himself.
Bi Rushi had read characters with Lin Miao. Her handwriting was not very good, but she could understand her characters.
With such a waste of time, the next day it was time for Lin Miao and his helpers to make an appointment to go out and do business.
Lin Miao woke up early on purpose, changed into simple and convenient clothes for work, took the bank ticket and ID card, and went out.
It was still early when we went out, walking all the way to South Street, the steamed stuffed bun shop had just opened, Lin Miao bought a few meat buns and asked the boss to make a bowl of sweet soy milk, then sat on the table outside the steamed stuffed bun shop and ate Hot breakfast.
When they walked all the way to Yaren's side, several helpers were already standing there waiting, and the cook named Bao Hongchang stood there with a smile on his face and was very energetic.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Miao hurried over to say hello.
The latter is to pay the rent of the shop directly, and then you can go to the shop directly.
Of course, the sooner the store is opened, the better, but there is no need to worry about it, no matter how you say it, it will take another two days to complete.So when he arrived at the place, he told the mothers-in-law what time they would come to help the shop get ready tomorrow, and Lin Miao let the mothers-in-law go home by themselves.
Women are considered hourly workers, so it doesn't matter very much. Bao Hongchang will stay and work for a long time, so he followed Lin Miao back and forth to work back and forth that day.
Lin Miao went to the woodware shop first.
He had been to the woodware shop a long time ago and had ordered a lot of things.From the wooden basin for putting vegetables to the dinner plate for eating, they are all customized.This wooden basin is not an ordinary wooden basin, and there is an iron sheet wrapped under the wooden basin.This is to fit in with the equipment that is kept warm by the charcoal fire under the place where the vegetables are placed.It’s okay that the weather is not too cold now, even if the food is cold, as long as the food is still hot, you might as well like to eat it.
But when the weather is cold, who doesn't want to have a warm meal?At that time, the meal must be kept hot.Lin Miao had planned it long ago, so he made his own plans from all aspects of the details, and just came here to get things now.
After settling the money exchange with the boss, the boss said that the store is short of manpower, and Lin Miao and the others may have to move back by themselves, or they will have to wait until the next day to free up their hands.
Lin Miao was feeling a little troublesome, when Bao Hongchang, who looked similar to him, suddenly said, "Then I'll move it back, it's a trivial matter."
Lin Miao ordered a lot of things. There was only one pole in the woodware shop, and it was not light to pick it up. Who would have thought that it would be picked up by the little cook if there was nothing on his shoulders.
Lin Miao felt miraculous, and talked to Bao Xiaochu beside him: "I never thought that your strength is so great."
Bao Hongchang laughed and said, "It's nothing to do all kinds of farm work in the countryside."
The two of them talked all the way back to the shop and arranged things back and forth.Lin Miao took him to the vegetable market not far away.
"A few days before the start of work, I will try out the tastes of the customers. After the menu is roughly determined, it will basically follow the regular rotation without any changes. At that time, you will come to pick up the dishes every morning. These days I will Make an agreement with the vegetable vendors one day in advance, I will come over slowly in the morning, and you will bring the vegetables back first."
Bao Hongchang nodded in agreement, and reassured Lin Miao: "Just leave it to me, the shopkeeper. In the past, I also helped Master do the shopping."
Lin Miao felt that he acted like a prudent person, and felt relieved a lot.Before the two parted, Lin Miao casually asked, "Do you live in the city?"
Bao Hongchang smiled: "A distant relative is willing to let me live temporarily. They live here on South Street, not far from our shop, so they can take care of me in the future."
Lin Miao nodded when she heard this, and the two turned their heads and parted.
Lin Miao went straight back to the palace, but he didn't expect that Bao Hongchang, who was said to live in South Street, would follow him to the outside of the palace a dozen steps behind him.After Lin Miao entered the side courtyard, Bao Hongchang turned around and disappeared into an alley.
The weather has been clear these few days, and Lin Miao's mood is similar to this weather.
The next day, he got up early and went out, went to the shop, together with the women and Bao Hongchang, arranged and cleaned up the whole shop.Two tables can be placed on the ground outside the shop.But Lin Miao thought about it, instead of putting two small tables, according to the tall and burly dock worker, it would not be very cost-effective to seat eight people even if it was crowded.
Lin Miao simply bought a few long stools and put them outside, so that the workers eat with plates, and three or four people can sit on one stool, and at least a dozen people can sit in the same space. The workers eat quickly, not many There will be one or two free to replace in a while.No matter how bad it is, it’s okay to stand by and eat. Anyway, the pickle stalls and noodle stalls and steamed bun stalls are also here, and everyone is very used to it.
All the things in the house were put in place according to Lin Miao's arrangement, and a small tofu shop was almost crowded.
The women washed the dishes and furniture all morning, and went back after receiving their wages at noon. It was agreed to come at this time when work started tomorrow.Lin Miao and Bao Hongchang cooked up two random dishes to eat. One was for convenience, and the other was for Lin Miao to try his cooking again.
Bao Hongchang's craftsmanship is really good, and Lin Miao is very satisfied.
Bao Hongchang was a little curious about Lin Miao's custom-made wooden dinner plate. He thought it was weird, but after using it now, he realized that it was really good.The meals are clearly separated, one for each person, and it is much easier to wash. It is not as troublesome as before.
Lin Miao had dinner and was still busy, so Bao Hongchang was not allowed to follow, so he was left in the store to move back the furniture that had been moved out for drying.Lin Miao went to get the plaque he ordered in advance, with the name of his fast food restaurant printed on it.
The names of the restaurants and restaurants were repeated over and over again, and Lin Miao couldn't think of anything that was not the same after looking around, so he almost broke his head before customizing.In the end, I decided to make a simpler one, and called it "fast food".
As for fast food, no matter ancient or modern, everyone understands this meaning. Lin Miao thinks it is very good. Anyway, his customer base is not very elegant, so they don't need the name of the shop that has been carefully thought out.
It's really going to start the next day.
Lin Miao didn't sleep well all night because of this, and rarely tossed and turned on the bed frying dumplings.
The next morning, everything was ready. The women started washing the vegetables early. Bao Hongchang also confirmed the menu with Lin Miao and assured him that there would be no problem.Only Lin Miao was a little nervous, staring at the red cloth covered with the word "fast food", her heart beating wildly.
He stretched his neck and looked at the gate of the city. At this time, it was still quiet, only some ordinary people coming and going in and out.
Lin Miao was watching when a human voice suddenly came from behind.When he looked back, he saw the tooth man standing there with a smile all over his face leading several people.
"Mr. Lin, I found someone for you."
Lin Miao looked at the people around Yaren. These were young people who usually wandered around the city with nothing to do.Lin Miao didn't want to use them for anything, but let them go to dinner time, and when the time was right, he would start advertising his small restaurant.
No need to yell loudly, just go to the dock workers who are about to eat and say a few words, "I heard that a new restaurant has opened today. It has vegetables and meat, and the meal is not expensive."
"The rice is still full!"
and so on.Lin Miao thought of this on the spur of the moment this morning, and hurried to find Yaren for help. Fortunately, Yaren has a wide network of people, so it is easy to find such people.
Lin Miao nodded to the Yaman, took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, gave each of them ten coins first, and then said to them: "I will give you twenty coins in total, and when the time for eating is over, You just go to the Yaren and get the remaining ten Wen."
You can get [-] Wen for just a few words. This is easy and fast money. The few people were very happy and readily agreed.
It didn't take a long time, and several young people walked towards the gate of the city scattered.When he got there, he stopped wandering around, and just stood lazily at the foot of the city wall as usual.When I ran into food for sale, I spent a copper coin or two to buy some snacks, and my appearance was not at all noticeable.
When the dock workers came out one after another, these young people blended into them even more without any sense of existence.
Seeing the workers coming out, Lin Miao saw that there was only one last dish left for Bao Hongchang, so he quickly picked out the red cloth on the signboard, and immediately lit the firecrackers. It also attracted the eyes of the dock workers not far away.
A few young men who had been hired in advance had already stretched out their fingers and said, "Here, see, that's the shop. On the first day of today, it was said that they were still offering bone soup."
"Is it true or false? Can restaurants be cheaper?"
"Look and see."
After being attracted so many times, several people have already come towards this side, and they walked to the door of the store in a short while.
Bao Hongchang had just finished frying the last dish, and it looked shiny and oily. The dish was fresh and full of ingredients, and it tasted so fragrant when it was fried together, it made people unable to walk.
The vat of white rice on the cooking utensils at the side also seemed to be pouring out, the grains were distinct and plump, like a small mountain bun.
If you look inside a few more times, you can still see the seasonings in front of the cook, all clean and tidy.Generally speaking, although the whole store is small and looks a bit crowded, it is neat and orderly, which makes people feel very comfortable.
The women were all taught by Lin Miao in advance, and they remembered clearly how much money, meat and vegetables they had, and they knew how to settle accounts.It might be embarrassing to speak loudly if you change someone else, but who are these women?It's all after decades of living, and it's long since there is no such shyness as a young wife and a woman, who can spread it two miles when she opens her voice.
The dock workers are also used to loud voices, and they are not uncomfortable with this, but feel kind.
I also heard that the prices of the dishes in this shop are indeed not expensive, and the rest depends on the portion.
Someone took out the copper plate and counted it, the woman took the copper plate and threw it directly into a wooden barrel beside her, and then took an upside-down square wooden plate from the side.Then he moved very quickly, showing that he used a wooden spoon to press two large spoons of white rice directly into the wooden plate, and then asked the person who asked for the food: "What do you want for the two vegetarian dishes, and what do you want for the meat dishes, you just choose yourself."
The man looked down, and there were five vegetarian dishes in front of him, two more meat dishes, and three half-meat and half-vegetarian dishes, all of which were home-cooked dishes.
Without any hesitation, he directly chose three dishes.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the old lady used a spoon slightly smaller than a rice spoon to put a spoonful into the wooden plate, which happened to be opposite to the small grooves of the wooden plate, looking at a plate of food very well.
"The dishes are set, if you want more after you finish eating, just come to me with the plate." The woman said.
Standing by the side, Lin Miao reminded the diners who were carrying the wooden tray: "After eating, you can also have a bowl of radish bone soup for free."
Carrots are very cheap, and few people eat bones at this time.Today, these bones were sent directly to them by the butcher when they picked up the vegetables in the morning.
Lin Miao didn't waste it either, and let Chef Bao smash it up and stew it with the bones all morning.At this moment, there is a charcoal stove under the bone soup, which has been kept warm and heated, and the fragrance is overflowing, and the smell makes you greedy.
The diners responded, and looked down at the wooden plate in their hands, and couldn't help but salivate.
He lowered his head and picked up his chopsticks and took a mouthful of braised pork. The meat was fat and thin, fragrant but not greasy, with a mellow taste. After one bite and then another bite of rice, the taste was simply wonderful, not inferior to the taste of that big restaurant.
He couldn't help lowering his head and took another two big bites.
The diners who were still watching from the side didn't hesitate when they saw this, and hurried forward to try the taste.A meal of seven or eight yuan is not a price that dock workers can't afford. Even if they are not willing to eat like this, eating one meal a day is a very good choice.
After all, this is not eating white flour steamed buns, this is big white rice with meat and vegetables and it tastes good, just like eating out of a restaurant.And which restaurant can you eat back with seven or eight pennies?
This noon was the first meal on the first day of opening, and the number of people who came to eat one after another was still not very many.However, everyone who came to eat had a satisfied smile on their faces, and many of them asked what the dishes were for dinner.
For this reason, Lin Miao had some confidence in his heart, and he told others about all the dishes for the evening, and then said: "If the elder brother thinks it is good, he should help talk to others."
The man drank a large bowl of bone soup, and now he felt that the broth was full of fragrance, and the oily flowers on the side of his mouth were glistening, so he naturally agreed.
Just like that at noon, I did business with dozens of people, and most of them were still watching from afar at the steamed bun noodle stall.
But Lin Miao felt that this was not bad.
People who ate here at noon all ate their bellies round, which is also understandable, after all, there is a shop that says you can eat white rice casually, can you hold back?What's more, the dish is still really delicious, even if I finish eating, I don't even want to waste the soup, and I can eat a big bowl with some white rice.
It’s just that I’m too full to work in the afternoon. Think about eating less next time, anyway, the restaurant won’t run away by itself.
And compared with those who ate fast food and their mouths were full of oil, how can those who eat dry steamed buns get oily water?And usually everyone eats to have the strength to continue working, so it doesn't matter whether the food tastes good or not.
Seeing these people rubbing their stomachs with endless aftertaste, many people became curious and asked.
The dock workers who had eaten fast food talked vividly about how delicious the food in the store was, and the price was very reasonable. In the evening, they heard that there were braised fish nuggets, sweet and sour pork ribs, etc., which made many People who eat dried noodles and steamed buns at noon feel their stomachs are about to growl.
One pass spreads ten to ten, and by the end of the night, a group of people came directly to the fast food.
There were not many people coming to eat at noon, so apart from the woman who was busy doing vegetables, the woman who washed vegetables and dishes was not busy.For this reason, the lady-in-law also muttered that it was unfair for two people to receive the same money and so on.
But I didn't expect that the two of them would change at this moment in the evening.
No matter how busy the groceries are, they will come one after another.The woman who washed vegetables and dishes was squatting by the well, unable to straighten her back, and the dishes were being placed one by one, and they were almost piled up into a hill.
If it weren't for Lin Miao's direct order of a hundred when ordering the dinner plate, it would not be enough.
Lin Miao had no choice but to go over and help the miserable dishwashing woman fetch water, so that she could catch up.
And Bao Xiaochu, who thought that he would have nothing to do after cooking a round of dishes, originally planned to help wash the dishes, but after a while, two of the dish dishes bottomed out, so scared that Lin Miao hurriedly pushed him in to wash the dishes. The rest of the preparations were fried and replaced.
There were too many leftovers at noon, and the weather was hot, so Lin Miao didn't want to keep them for the night.Some of them were taken back by the women, and some were taken away by the swill collectors.
The dishes prepared at night were similar to those at noon. Originally, Lin Miao expected that there might be a little more guests, and that was just enough.But I didn't expect that after all the dishes were fried, the guests still had a few leftovers.
He didn't know that it was because there was a time limit for workers to come out at noon, but not at night, so many people went back to tell the workers after eating, and many people rushed over later to want to eat.
"Why so little preparation?"
"That's right, I'm still hungry..."
This kind of blame Lin Miao felt that he would be happy to hear another hundred sentences. He carefully made up for it with others, and then promised to prepare enough food tomorrow before sending him away.
The two women were also exhausted today, and Lin Miao asked them to pay them an extra ten cents, which made the two women smile.
After everyone left, Lin Miao and Bao Xiaochu made some calculations about today's dishes.Which dishes are not getting fast, and which dishes are more popular, prepare more tomorrow.Which dishes are not available in the end, then cook less or not.The first time I have to try the dishes, the business can be done more smoothly in the future.
After finishing all this work, Lin Miao took out the wooden barrel for collecting money under the table.As soon as he took it out, Bao Xiaochu and his eyes almost straightened.There must have been more than half a barrel of copper plates in the wooden barrel, and two thousand was more than enough.
After deducting the cost of grocery shopping, wages and shop rent today, Lin Miao knows that he has earned at least three or four hundred cash without counting.This is not a lot of money, if it is like this for a month, it will be nine taels of silver in that month.
But this is only the first day. If the current momentum continues, it will be far more than this amount of money in a month.
And even if all factors are excluded, just saying that Lin Miao has worked hard to prepare the money for so long is enough for him to be happy.
Lin Miao let Bao Hongchang go first, and he poured all the money in the wooden bucket into a cabinet drawer in the corner and locked it. Finally, he closed the shop door and walked back in the first moonlight. His steps were blissful. Tao wants to float up.
Under the same moonlight, the Qingqiu courtyard was lit with candlelight.The girls and women lowered their voices and whispered a few words in the corridor, and then they staggered and walked away, respectful and cautious to the people in the room.
The inside and outside of the house are only a few steps away, but they are clearly two distant worlds.
Inside the room, Xie Yan was sitting on the couch.
The sugar figurine brought back from the outside really started to melt. The one that was standing upright was now put in a small crystal clear bowl and placed in front of Xie Yan.
He stared at the sugar man for a while, and gradually regretted that he hadn't tasted it earlier, it seemed a bit late now.
It was a little cold at night, Yu Wen was standing at the door of the room and was about to go in, but Xie Yan lifted the curtain and came out.
She was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Wangfei wants to go out?"
Xie Yan nodded, and within a few words, he had already walked in front of Yuwen and passed her by.
Yuwen said: "It's getting colder at night, should the concubine add some clothes before going out?"
"It's okay." After Xie Yan said this, his steps had already landed at the bottom of the steps.
Yuwen stopped talking, and watched him out of the courtyard with gentle eyes.
As soon as Xie Yan came out of the Qingqiu courtyard, the guards outside followed behind him and followed his steps, always alerting the surroundings.
The moon slowly shuttles among the clouds, illuminating the earth when it occasionally emerges from the clouds, but most of the time it hides in the clouds.
No matter how bright the moonlight itself is, as long as it encounters layers of clouds blocking it, it will still be enveloped in darkness.
Xie Yan walked forward slowly, originally intending to go to Zangshu Pavilion, but for some reason, he turned in the wrong direction and turned towards the side courtyard.
Xie Yan just made a mistake and realized that he wanted to turn his head, but he didn't stop. Then he thought there was nothing wrong with it, so he went straight.
Walking all the way to the outside of the courtyard, he bumped into Lin Miao who was coming back at the courtyard gate.
Lin Miao was holding a lot of things.A large bag of sugar-fried chestnuts is still hot, and two bags of fresh pastries are neatly wrapped, so there is still a little space to hold the skewered candied haws.
Xie Yan was wearing black clothes, and hadn't turned on the lantern yet. If it wasn't for the shadows of many guards behind him bringing out an extraordinarily dark place, Lin Miao wouldn't have noticed him at all.When he noticed it, he was also taken aback for a moment, and looked at Xie Yan for a long while focused and stupidly.
Lin Miao's eyes were shining brightly against the candlelight, and his whole body was full of enthusiasm and sweetness of life, standing in the light like a star.
For a moment, Xie Yan felt that Lin Miao was like the moon that walked forward without worrying every day, and he himself was like the gloomy cloud that passed by Lin Miao by chance. The collision between the two would only block Lin Miao. bright.
In a moment of thought, Lin Miao had already recognized Xie Yan, and scolded him again in his heart as a bastard, and stood at the corner of the gate of the courtyard at night to scare people silently.
However, Lin Miao saluted flatteringly: "I have seen the princess."
Xie Yan: "Yes."
He answered and walked straight into the yard, and Lin Miao became the one following him instead.
Lin Miao originally planned to go home comfortably and eat some snacks for a while before going to bed. Seeing Xie Yan coming now, she knew that her plan for comfort might come to naught, and she felt unhappy.
When Biru saw Xie Yan coming, she only came up to deliver tea, and did not dare to stay in the room.
Lin Miao was also afraid that she would make a mistake, so she told her to go to bed first, but Bi Ru Changsong ran back to the room without looking back.
While Lin Miao looked left and right at the food in his hand, thinking about whether to invite Xie Yan to eat together, Xie Yan suddenly raised a topic that made Lin Miao a little confused: "A few days ago The sugar figurine you gave me really melted."
Lin Miao was confused at first, but then thought that Xie Yan didn't eat it, so she couldn't help scolding Xie Yan for wasting money, but she still had nothing to do with it: "It melts as soon as it melts, sugar people can melt, anyway, if you want to Eat it and buy it again."
Xie Yan looked at Lin Miao intently, and asked him in a low voice, "Then you will buy it for me next time?"
Lin Miao put the thing in his hand on the table. He was careless at first, but he didn't hesitate when he heard Xie Yan's words. It's a copper coin, and now I'm the big boss.
Besides, a copper coin can make the murderous maniac happy, that's a great deal.
Lin Miao nodded without hesitation, patted Xie Yan's chest and assured him, "As long as you want to eat, I will buy it for you."
Xie Yan raised the corners of his mouth, this time he really smiled.
Xie Yan has been taught countless principles in his life, and one of them has been repeated countless times and almost engraved in his mind.
He doesn't deserve it, he doesn't deserve it.
Xie Yan almost believed it, but later realized that it was all bullshit.But he also had to admit that no matter whether he didn't dare at first or didn't want to later, he had never owned a good thing that he wanted.
Xie Yan looked from Lin Miao's forehead to the back of his shoe.Lin Miao made him feel unexpected and novel, as well as the slight throbbing that seemed to be there, but it was too late for Xie Yan to catch.
Maybe Lin Miao is not good enough, maybe he has shortcomings everywhere, maybe he will soon lose all novelty and specialness, or be blocked by himself.
But that is not what Xie Yan cares about at the moment.
The most important thing is just one thing: Lin Miao is a good thing, but now Xie Yan wants it.
There are only two possible outcomes, one is that Xie Yan picked it up, and the other is that Xie Yan didn't pick it up.
Choose one of the two, Lin Miao thinks the latter is more likely.After all, what he held in his hand was a sugar figurine, not a little golden figurine.People like Xie Yan reckoned that even if they really wanted it with a little childlike innocence, they would not be able to reach out to take it because of face.
So Lin Miao looked at this sugar man and felt that it was safe.If Xie Yan didn't reach out to pick it up, then he would take this sugar figurine home to Biru or eat two servings for himself, which is not a waste at all.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Miao felt nothing.I have done the etiquette myself, so it doesn't matter how perverted Xie Yan is.
Talk about the moment.
Xie Yan was sitting in the innermost part of the carriage, the surprise on his face hadn't stopped yet.And Lin Miao was bent over, supporting the seat next to the car wall with one hand, and holding two sugar figures in the other, his eyes were dripping with defense and idea.
You don't want me and I won't force you, don't force yourself.
Seeing that Xie Yan didn't move, Lin Miao felt that his previous guess was right. Xie Yan wouldn't want such a childish snack. His hand holding the candy figurine was eager to take it back.
From Xie Yan's side, he was surprised at Lin Miao's move at first.
The carriage drove all the way from North Street, and when it arrived at the intersection between the north and the south, there was nothing wrong with it, but Lin Miao's voice was familiar to Xie Yan, and it entered Xie Yan's ears as soon as he opened his mouth.
However, that maddened tone was quite different from Xie Yan's impression in the past, making Xie Yan not sure whether the one outside was Lin Miao for a while.
He was a little uncertain at first, but when he got out of the carriage and took a look over there, it turned out that Lin Miao was really standing among a group of children complacently.
But with his demeanor, no one would think he looks like an adult.
It turns out that the tongue is really sharp, but usually hides this side, Xie Yan thought.
Later, after listening to the report from the manager of the bank, when he got into the carriage and was about to leave, he suddenly had the idea of taking Lin Miao along.Just when Xie Yan felt a little regretful and wanted to let Lin Miao go down directly, Lin Miao handed over the sugar figurine.
Xie Yan had never eaten sugar figurines, but for a long time in his childhood he was particularly envious of children who could eat sugar figurines.Originally thought that it was just some boring and trivial things floating in the memory, but the sugar figure that Lin Miao handed over made Xie Yan feel as if a needle had been pricked in his heart.
At this moment, Lin Miao and the sugar figure in his hand suddenly seemed to pass through Xie Yan's memory and stood in front of him in the past.
Until the sugar man flickered and seemed to be recycling.
Xie Yan's eyes that diverged because of his thoughts suddenly focused, and he raised his hand to grab the sugar figurine in Lin Miao's hand.This sudden movement startled Lin Miao and almost threw the other sugar figure away.
The sugar figurine was tilted in Lin Miao's hands, but he didn't keep it, and it was about to hit the ground with a slap.
Lin Miao let out a hello, and managed to grab the sugar figurine's bamboo stick in a hurry. At this moment, the sugar figurine almost touched the ground under its head.
Two shocks were added together, and before Lin Miao recovered, she looked up and saw Xie Yan holding a candy figurine firmly in his hand, looking up at him, there was no meaning in that gaze, with A little chilly and a little thoughtful.
This made Lin Miao just stare at his shoe uppers as if nothing had happened just now.
A thing that kills thousands of knives, make fun of me.
"Do you like this?" Xie Yan asked Lin Miao.
Lin Miao thought that Xie Yan's words were derogatory, and felt that Xie Yan was discriminating against food. After thinking about it, there should be nothing he couldn't say.So he raised his head to defend the sugar man, "I like it, it looks good, and it tastes sweet, many people like it."
"Eat it often?"
"It's not a regular meal. I didn't eat it when I was a child. Now I eat it once in a while." Lin Miao said honestly.
He wasn't a liar. When they were at home, they really couldn't find a place to make sugar figurines in the urban area. I've seen it when I went to the scenic spot later, but I thought it was too black-hearted, and I looked like an idiot when I bought it.It wasn't until here that Lin Miao felt that it was worth buying.
Xie Yan added: "Eating this now, don't you feel childish and ashamed?"
Sure enough, you look down on my sugar man, you bastard, don't take my sugar man if you have the backbone.
Lin Miao gained a bit of backbone because of holding her breath, and said, "Why would you be ashamed? I think it's not ashamed to want to eat now because I didn't eat it when I was a child. It would be childish and embarrassing to eat without losing face."
And I can bend and stretch a man.
Xie Yan dismissed that thought as a trivial matter, but because of Lin Miao's words, a hand suddenly peeled off the layers of skin covering them, revealing the unhealed bloody wound inside.
Maybe it has something to do with Sugar Man, maybe it has nothing to do with Sugar Man.To pretend not to care even though you still care about it, to act as if you have nothing to do when you are still scorchingly uncomfortable, this is an extreme fall.
Embarrassment, anger, and bewilderment became a complex emotion that hit Xie Yan's chest, but it turned into a touch of helplessness and relief in an instant.
That was the case, and he had nothing to argue with.
He looked at Lin Miao who said these words in disbelief, but found that the other party had already lowered his head to look at the sugar figurine in his hand, as if hesitating whether to lick it or not.
There was a long silence in the carriage, as if no one would speak until it stopped again.
Lin Miao looked at Xie Yan quietly from the corner of his eye, and found that he was not looking at himself but looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking.Lin Miao withdrew her thoughts, lowered her head and ate the sugar figurine into her mouth and took a sip.
"Why couldn't you eat sugar man when you were young?" Xie Yan still didn't look at Lin Miao, but asked Lin Miao about it.
Lin Miao spat out the candy figurine and said truthfully: "There used to be no one in front of our house, and my mother wouldn't let me eat it, saying that it would ruin my teeth."
"I never ate sugar figurines when I was a child," Xie Yan said. "I really wanted to eat them for a while, but I couldn't eat them in the end, and then I didn't want to."
If you don't want it, give it back to me.
Lin Miao stared at the sugar figurine Xie Yan was holding tightly, and didn't dare to ask for it back. She just said, "The taste will change when you grow up."
At this moment, the tone of the conversation between the two was very peaceful and Xie Yan didn't look angry. Lin Miao took the opportunity to brag about herself, "But my taste has not changed. I loved it when I was young. What, what do you still like to eat now, it won’t change in the future.”
His mother once said that Lin Miao is not a showman, in other words, he is a representative of no future, but Lin Miao thinks it is very good, what an honest and responsible young man.
Xie Yan turned to look at Lin Miao, "You won't change?"
Lin Miao thought she was being questioned, so she nodded without hesitation and said, "I will not change."
Xie Yan suddenly realized that he and Lin Miao were like opposite sides of each other, a seemingly perfect but full of flaws, and a seemingly full of loopholes but solid inside.
He curled his lips into a self-deprecating smile and stopped talking.
The horseshoes landed on the wide street all the way forward.
Lin Miao got out of the carriage, turned around and said goodbye to Xie Yan in a polite manner, then walked around the main entrance with the sugar figurine and entered the palace from the back alley.People passed by him from time to time along the way, and Lin Miao didn't have the nerve to eat the candy man, so he had to take the candy man back to the courtyard.
When Biru saw him coming back, she looked at the sugar figurine in his hand, thought it was for herself, and ran over with a smile on her face.
As a result, he raised Lin Miao's hand and saw that half of the little tiger's head had been eaten.
Bi Ru followed Lin Miao into the house, muttering as he walked, "Young master eats alone."
Lin Miao said: "I didn't eat alone. Yours was taken by the princess. If you want to eat, just ask the princess."
How dare Biru?Immediately closed the sound.
Xie Yan didn't come to live recently, which made Lin Miao feel much more comfortable.As soon as he entered the room, he would sit with Biru and eat small fruits, tell Biru what was going on outside, and when he was tired, he would forget to lie down on the soft couch and let Biru read a storybook to himself.
Bi Rushi had read characters with Lin Miao. Her handwriting was not very good, but she could understand her characters.
With such a waste of time, the next day it was time for Lin Miao and his helpers to make an appointment to go out and do business.
Lin Miao woke up early on purpose, changed into simple and convenient clothes for work, took the bank ticket and ID card, and went out.
It was still early when we went out, walking all the way to South Street, the steamed stuffed bun shop had just opened, Lin Miao bought a few meat buns and asked the boss to make a bowl of sweet soy milk, then sat on the table outside the steamed stuffed bun shop and ate Hot breakfast.
When they walked all the way to Yaren's side, several helpers were already standing there waiting, and the cook named Bao Hongchang stood there with a smile on his face and was very energetic.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Miao hurried over to say hello.
The latter is to pay the rent of the shop directly, and then you can go to the shop directly.
Of course, the sooner the store is opened, the better, but there is no need to worry about it, no matter how you say it, it will take another two days to complete.So when he arrived at the place, he told the mothers-in-law what time they would come to help the shop get ready tomorrow, and Lin Miao let the mothers-in-law go home by themselves.
Women are considered hourly workers, so it doesn't matter very much. Bao Hongchang will stay and work for a long time, so he followed Lin Miao back and forth to work back and forth that day.
Lin Miao went to the woodware shop first.
He had been to the woodware shop a long time ago and had ordered a lot of things.From the wooden basin for putting vegetables to the dinner plate for eating, they are all customized.This wooden basin is not an ordinary wooden basin, and there is an iron sheet wrapped under the wooden basin.This is to fit in with the equipment that is kept warm by the charcoal fire under the place where the vegetables are placed.It’s okay that the weather is not too cold now, even if the food is cold, as long as the food is still hot, you might as well like to eat it.
But when the weather is cold, who doesn't want to have a warm meal?At that time, the meal must be kept hot.Lin Miao had planned it long ago, so he made his own plans from all aspects of the details, and just came here to get things now.
After settling the money exchange with the boss, the boss said that the store is short of manpower, and Lin Miao and the others may have to move back by themselves, or they will have to wait until the next day to free up their hands.
Lin Miao was feeling a little troublesome, when Bao Hongchang, who looked similar to him, suddenly said, "Then I'll move it back, it's a trivial matter."
Lin Miao ordered a lot of things. There was only one pole in the woodware shop, and it was not light to pick it up. Who would have thought that it would be picked up by the little cook if there was nothing on his shoulders.
Lin Miao felt miraculous, and talked to Bao Xiaochu beside him: "I never thought that your strength is so great."
Bao Hongchang laughed and said, "It's nothing to do all kinds of farm work in the countryside."
The two of them talked all the way back to the shop and arranged things back and forth.Lin Miao took him to the vegetable market not far away.
"A few days before the start of work, I will try out the tastes of the customers. After the menu is roughly determined, it will basically follow the regular rotation without any changes. At that time, you will come to pick up the dishes every morning. These days I will Make an agreement with the vegetable vendors one day in advance, I will come over slowly in the morning, and you will bring the vegetables back first."
Bao Hongchang nodded in agreement, and reassured Lin Miao: "Just leave it to me, the shopkeeper. In the past, I also helped Master do the shopping."
Lin Miao felt that he acted like a prudent person, and felt relieved a lot.Before the two parted, Lin Miao casually asked, "Do you live in the city?"
Bao Hongchang smiled: "A distant relative is willing to let me live temporarily. They live here on South Street, not far from our shop, so they can take care of me in the future."
Lin Miao nodded when she heard this, and the two turned their heads and parted.
Lin Miao went straight back to the palace, but he didn't expect that Bao Hongchang, who was said to live in South Street, would follow him to the outside of the palace a dozen steps behind him.After Lin Miao entered the side courtyard, Bao Hongchang turned around and disappeared into an alley.
The weather has been clear these few days, and Lin Miao's mood is similar to this weather.
The next day, he got up early and went out, went to the shop, together with the women and Bao Hongchang, arranged and cleaned up the whole shop.Two tables can be placed on the ground outside the shop.But Lin Miao thought about it, instead of putting two small tables, according to the tall and burly dock worker, it would not be very cost-effective to seat eight people even if it was crowded.
Lin Miao simply bought a few long stools and put them outside, so that the workers eat with plates, and three or four people can sit on one stool, and at least a dozen people can sit in the same space. The workers eat quickly, not many There will be one or two free to replace in a while.No matter how bad it is, it’s okay to stand by and eat. Anyway, the pickle stalls and noodle stalls and steamed bun stalls are also here, and everyone is very used to it.
All the things in the house were put in place according to Lin Miao's arrangement, and a small tofu shop was almost crowded.
The women washed the dishes and furniture all morning, and went back after receiving their wages at noon. It was agreed to come at this time when work started tomorrow.Lin Miao and Bao Hongchang cooked up two random dishes to eat. One was for convenience, and the other was for Lin Miao to try his cooking again.
Bao Hongchang's craftsmanship is really good, and Lin Miao is very satisfied.
Bao Hongchang was a little curious about Lin Miao's custom-made wooden dinner plate. He thought it was weird, but after using it now, he realized that it was really good.The meals are clearly separated, one for each person, and it is much easier to wash. It is not as troublesome as before.
Lin Miao had dinner and was still busy, so Bao Hongchang was not allowed to follow, so he was left in the store to move back the furniture that had been moved out for drying.Lin Miao went to get the plaque he ordered in advance, with the name of his fast food restaurant printed on it.
The names of the restaurants and restaurants were repeated over and over again, and Lin Miao couldn't think of anything that was not the same after looking around, so he almost broke his head before customizing.In the end, I decided to make a simpler one, and called it "fast food".
As for fast food, no matter ancient or modern, everyone understands this meaning. Lin Miao thinks it is very good. Anyway, his customer base is not very elegant, so they don't need the name of the shop that has been carefully thought out.
It's really going to start the next day.
Lin Miao didn't sleep well all night because of this, and rarely tossed and turned on the bed frying dumplings.
The next morning, everything was ready. The women started washing the vegetables early. Bao Hongchang also confirmed the menu with Lin Miao and assured him that there would be no problem.Only Lin Miao was a little nervous, staring at the red cloth covered with the word "fast food", her heart beating wildly.
He stretched his neck and looked at the gate of the city. At this time, it was still quiet, only some ordinary people coming and going in and out.
Lin Miao was watching when a human voice suddenly came from behind.When he looked back, he saw the tooth man standing there with a smile all over his face leading several people.
"Mr. Lin, I found someone for you."
Lin Miao looked at the people around Yaren. These were young people who usually wandered around the city with nothing to do.Lin Miao didn't want to use them for anything, but let them go to dinner time, and when the time was right, he would start advertising his small restaurant.
No need to yell loudly, just go to the dock workers who are about to eat and say a few words, "I heard that a new restaurant has opened today. It has vegetables and meat, and the meal is not expensive."
"The rice is still full!"
and so on.Lin Miao thought of this on the spur of the moment this morning, and hurried to find Yaren for help. Fortunately, Yaren has a wide network of people, so it is easy to find such people.
Lin Miao nodded to the Yaman, took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, gave each of them ten coins first, and then said to them: "I will give you twenty coins in total, and when the time for eating is over, You just go to the Yaren and get the remaining ten Wen."
You can get [-] Wen for just a few words. This is easy and fast money. The few people were very happy and readily agreed.
It didn't take a long time, and several young people walked towards the gate of the city scattered.When he got there, he stopped wandering around, and just stood lazily at the foot of the city wall as usual.When I ran into food for sale, I spent a copper coin or two to buy some snacks, and my appearance was not at all noticeable.
When the dock workers came out one after another, these young people blended into them even more without any sense of existence.
Seeing the workers coming out, Lin Miao saw that there was only one last dish left for Bao Hongchang, so he quickly picked out the red cloth on the signboard, and immediately lit the firecrackers. It also attracted the eyes of the dock workers not far away.
A few young men who had been hired in advance had already stretched out their fingers and said, "Here, see, that's the shop. On the first day of today, it was said that they were still offering bone soup."
"Is it true or false? Can restaurants be cheaper?"
"Look and see."
After being attracted so many times, several people have already come towards this side, and they walked to the door of the store in a short while.
Bao Hongchang had just finished frying the last dish, and it looked shiny and oily. The dish was fresh and full of ingredients, and it tasted so fragrant when it was fried together, it made people unable to walk.
The vat of white rice on the cooking utensils at the side also seemed to be pouring out, the grains were distinct and plump, like a small mountain bun.
If you look inside a few more times, you can still see the seasonings in front of the cook, all clean and tidy.Generally speaking, although the whole store is small and looks a bit crowded, it is neat and orderly, which makes people feel very comfortable.
The women were all taught by Lin Miao in advance, and they remembered clearly how much money, meat and vegetables they had, and they knew how to settle accounts.It might be embarrassing to speak loudly if you change someone else, but who are these women?It's all after decades of living, and it's long since there is no such shyness as a young wife and a woman, who can spread it two miles when she opens her voice.
The dock workers are also used to loud voices, and they are not uncomfortable with this, but feel kind.
I also heard that the prices of the dishes in this shop are indeed not expensive, and the rest depends on the portion.
Someone took out the copper plate and counted it, the woman took the copper plate and threw it directly into a wooden barrel beside her, and then took an upside-down square wooden plate from the side.Then he moved very quickly, showing that he used a wooden spoon to press two large spoons of white rice directly into the wooden plate, and then asked the person who asked for the food: "What do you want for the two vegetarian dishes, and what do you want for the meat dishes, you just choose yourself."
The man looked down, and there were five vegetarian dishes in front of him, two more meat dishes, and three half-meat and half-vegetarian dishes, all of which were home-cooked dishes.
Without any hesitation, he directly chose three dishes.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the old lady used a spoon slightly smaller than a rice spoon to put a spoonful into the wooden plate, which happened to be opposite to the small grooves of the wooden plate, looking at a plate of food very well.
"The dishes are set, if you want more after you finish eating, just come to me with the plate." The woman said.
Standing by the side, Lin Miao reminded the diners who were carrying the wooden tray: "After eating, you can also have a bowl of radish bone soup for free."
Carrots are very cheap, and few people eat bones at this time.Today, these bones were sent directly to them by the butcher when they picked up the vegetables in the morning.
Lin Miao didn't waste it either, and let Chef Bao smash it up and stew it with the bones all morning.At this moment, there is a charcoal stove under the bone soup, which has been kept warm and heated, and the fragrance is overflowing, and the smell makes you greedy.
The diners responded, and looked down at the wooden plate in their hands, and couldn't help but salivate.
He lowered his head and picked up his chopsticks and took a mouthful of braised pork. The meat was fat and thin, fragrant but not greasy, with a mellow taste. After one bite and then another bite of rice, the taste was simply wonderful, not inferior to the taste of that big restaurant.
He couldn't help lowering his head and took another two big bites.
The diners who were still watching from the side didn't hesitate when they saw this, and hurried forward to try the taste.A meal of seven or eight yuan is not a price that dock workers can't afford. Even if they are not willing to eat like this, eating one meal a day is a very good choice.
After all, this is not eating white flour steamed buns, this is big white rice with meat and vegetables and it tastes good, just like eating out of a restaurant.And which restaurant can you eat back with seven or eight pennies?
This noon was the first meal on the first day of opening, and the number of people who came to eat one after another was still not very many.However, everyone who came to eat had a satisfied smile on their faces, and many of them asked what the dishes were for dinner.
For this reason, Lin Miao had some confidence in his heart, and he told others about all the dishes for the evening, and then said: "If the elder brother thinks it is good, he should help talk to others."
The man drank a large bowl of bone soup, and now he felt that the broth was full of fragrance, and the oily flowers on the side of his mouth were glistening, so he naturally agreed.
Just like that at noon, I did business with dozens of people, and most of them were still watching from afar at the steamed bun noodle stall.
But Lin Miao felt that this was not bad.
People who ate here at noon all ate their bellies round, which is also understandable, after all, there is a shop that says you can eat white rice casually, can you hold back?What's more, the dish is still really delicious, even if I finish eating, I don't even want to waste the soup, and I can eat a big bowl with some white rice.
It’s just that I’m too full to work in the afternoon. Think about eating less next time, anyway, the restaurant won’t run away by itself.
And compared with those who ate fast food and their mouths were full of oil, how can those who eat dry steamed buns get oily water?And usually everyone eats to have the strength to continue working, so it doesn't matter whether the food tastes good or not.
Seeing these people rubbing their stomachs with endless aftertaste, many people became curious and asked.
The dock workers who had eaten fast food talked vividly about how delicious the food in the store was, and the price was very reasonable. In the evening, they heard that there were braised fish nuggets, sweet and sour pork ribs, etc., which made many People who eat dried noodles and steamed buns at noon feel their stomachs are about to growl.
One pass spreads ten to ten, and by the end of the night, a group of people came directly to the fast food.
There were not many people coming to eat at noon, so apart from the woman who was busy doing vegetables, the woman who washed vegetables and dishes was not busy.For this reason, the lady-in-law also muttered that it was unfair for two people to receive the same money and so on.
But I didn't expect that the two of them would change at this moment in the evening.
No matter how busy the groceries are, they will come one after another.The woman who washed vegetables and dishes was squatting by the well, unable to straighten her back, and the dishes were being placed one by one, and they were almost piled up into a hill.
If it weren't for Lin Miao's direct order of a hundred when ordering the dinner plate, it would not be enough.
Lin Miao had no choice but to go over and help the miserable dishwashing woman fetch water, so that she could catch up.
And Bao Xiaochu, who thought that he would have nothing to do after cooking a round of dishes, originally planned to help wash the dishes, but after a while, two of the dish dishes bottomed out, so scared that Lin Miao hurriedly pushed him in to wash the dishes. The rest of the preparations were fried and replaced.
There were too many leftovers at noon, and the weather was hot, so Lin Miao didn't want to keep them for the night.Some of them were taken back by the women, and some were taken away by the swill collectors.
The dishes prepared at night were similar to those at noon. Originally, Lin Miao expected that there might be a little more guests, and that was just enough.But I didn't expect that after all the dishes were fried, the guests still had a few leftovers.
He didn't know that it was because there was a time limit for workers to come out at noon, but not at night, so many people went back to tell the workers after eating, and many people rushed over later to want to eat.
"Why so little preparation?"
"That's right, I'm still hungry..."
This kind of blame Lin Miao felt that he would be happy to hear another hundred sentences. He carefully made up for it with others, and then promised to prepare enough food tomorrow before sending him away.
The two women were also exhausted today, and Lin Miao asked them to pay them an extra ten cents, which made the two women smile.
After everyone left, Lin Miao and Bao Xiaochu made some calculations about today's dishes.Which dishes are not getting fast, and which dishes are more popular, prepare more tomorrow.Which dishes are not available in the end, then cook less or not.The first time I have to try the dishes, the business can be done more smoothly in the future.
After finishing all this work, Lin Miao took out the wooden barrel for collecting money under the table.As soon as he took it out, Bao Xiaochu and his eyes almost straightened.There must have been more than half a barrel of copper plates in the wooden barrel, and two thousand was more than enough.
After deducting the cost of grocery shopping, wages and shop rent today, Lin Miao knows that he has earned at least three or four hundred cash without counting.This is not a lot of money, if it is like this for a month, it will be nine taels of silver in that month.
But this is only the first day. If the current momentum continues, it will be far more than this amount of money in a month.
And even if all factors are excluded, just saying that Lin Miao has worked hard to prepare the money for so long is enough for him to be happy.
Lin Miao let Bao Hongchang go first, and he poured all the money in the wooden bucket into a cabinet drawer in the corner and locked it. Finally, he closed the shop door and walked back in the first moonlight. His steps were blissful. Tao wants to float up.
Under the same moonlight, the Qingqiu courtyard was lit with candlelight.The girls and women lowered their voices and whispered a few words in the corridor, and then they staggered and walked away, respectful and cautious to the people in the room.
The inside and outside of the house are only a few steps away, but they are clearly two distant worlds.
Inside the room, Xie Yan was sitting on the couch.
The sugar figurine brought back from the outside really started to melt. The one that was standing upright was now put in a small crystal clear bowl and placed in front of Xie Yan.
He stared at the sugar man for a while, and gradually regretted that he hadn't tasted it earlier, it seemed a bit late now.
It was a little cold at night, Yu Wen was standing at the door of the room and was about to go in, but Xie Yan lifted the curtain and came out.
She was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Wangfei wants to go out?"
Xie Yan nodded, and within a few words, he had already walked in front of Yuwen and passed her by.
Yuwen said: "It's getting colder at night, should the concubine add some clothes before going out?"
"It's okay." After Xie Yan said this, his steps had already landed at the bottom of the steps.
Yuwen stopped talking, and watched him out of the courtyard with gentle eyes.
As soon as Xie Yan came out of the Qingqiu courtyard, the guards outside followed behind him and followed his steps, always alerting the surroundings.
The moon slowly shuttles among the clouds, illuminating the earth when it occasionally emerges from the clouds, but most of the time it hides in the clouds.
No matter how bright the moonlight itself is, as long as it encounters layers of clouds blocking it, it will still be enveloped in darkness.
Xie Yan walked forward slowly, originally intending to go to Zangshu Pavilion, but for some reason, he turned in the wrong direction and turned towards the side courtyard.
Xie Yan just made a mistake and realized that he wanted to turn his head, but he didn't stop. Then he thought there was nothing wrong with it, so he went straight.
Walking all the way to the outside of the courtyard, he bumped into Lin Miao who was coming back at the courtyard gate.
Lin Miao was holding a lot of things.A large bag of sugar-fried chestnuts is still hot, and two bags of fresh pastries are neatly wrapped, so there is still a little space to hold the skewered candied haws.
Xie Yan was wearing black clothes, and hadn't turned on the lantern yet. If it wasn't for the shadows of many guards behind him bringing out an extraordinarily dark place, Lin Miao wouldn't have noticed him at all.When he noticed it, he was also taken aback for a moment, and looked at Xie Yan for a long while focused and stupidly.
Lin Miao's eyes were shining brightly against the candlelight, and his whole body was full of enthusiasm and sweetness of life, standing in the light like a star.
For a moment, Xie Yan felt that Lin Miao was like the moon that walked forward without worrying every day, and he himself was like the gloomy cloud that passed by Lin Miao by chance. The collision between the two would only block Lin Miao. bright.
In a moment of thought, Lin Miao had already recognized Xie Yan, and scolded him again in his heart as a bastard, and stood at the corner of the gate of the courtyard at night to scare people silently.
However, Lin Miao saluted flatteringly: "I have seen the princess."
Xie Yan: "Yes."
He answered and walked straight into the yard, and Lin Miao became the one following him instead.
Lin Miao originally planned to go home comfortably and eat some snacks for a while before going to bed. Seeing Xie Yan coming now, she knew that her plan for comfort might come to naught, and she felt unhappy.
When Biru saw Xie Yan coming, she only came up to deliver tea, and did not dare to stay in the room.
Lin Miao was also afraid that she would make a mistake, so she told her to go to bed first, but Bi Ru Changsong ran back to the room without looking back.
While Lin Miao looked left and right at the food in his hand, thinking about whether to invite Xie Yan to eat together, Xie Yan suddenly raised a topic that made Lin Miao a little confused: "A few days ago The sugar figurine you gave me really melted."
Lin Miao was confused at first, but then thought that Xie Yan didn't eat it, so she couldn't help scolding Xie Yan for wasting money, but she still had nothing to do with it: "It melts as soon as it melts, sugar people can melt, anyway, if you want to Eat it and buy it again."
Xie Yan looked at Lin Miao intently, and asked him in a low voice, "Then you will buy it for me next time?"
Lin Miao put the thing in his hand on the table. He was careless at first, but he didn't hesitate when he heard Xie Yan's words. It's a copper coin, and now I'm the big boss.
Besides, a copper coin can make the murderous maniac happy, that's a great deal.
Lin Miao nodded without hesitation, patted Xie Yan's chest and assured him, "As long as you want to eat, I will buy it for you."
Xie Yan raised the corners of his mouth, this time he really smiled.
Xie Yan has been taught countless principles in his life, and one of them has been repeated countless times and almost engraved in his mind.
He doesn't deserve it, he doesn't deserve it.
Xie Yan almost believed it, but later realized that it was all bullshit.But he also had to admit that no matter whether he didn't dare at first or didn't want to later, he had never owned a good thing that he wanted.
Xie Yan looked from Lin Miao's forehead to the back of his shoe.Lin Miao made him feel unexpected and novel, as well as the slight throbbing that seemed to be there, but it was too late for Xie Yan to catch.
Maybe Lin Miao is not good enough, maybe he has shortcomings everywhere, maybe he will soon lose all novelty and specialness, or be blocked by himself.
But that is not what Xie Yan cares about at the moment.
The most important thing is just one thing: Lin Miao is a good thing, but now Xie Yan wants it.
