Chapter 126 The old man who makes dough

The weather is getting colder and the year is coming to an end.

Zhen Quan and Meng Shen both went back to their homes in Luoyang to celebrate the New Year, and only the old Taoist priest Miaoying stayed.

Zheng Zhixun also went back to the Zheng family's old house in Xingyang.

Before leaving, I sent a letter to Yan Kai. It was written by Zheng Buqi. The main message was that there were too many things this year and there were no good days. The matter of the two becoming sworn brothers should be left to next year.

Yan Kai didn't care much about this matter, and it was just fine as it was now.

The others, Li Dazui and others, had moved their families to Yangping Town, so they all stayed here to celebrate the New Year, which made it seem a lot more lively.

There was a knock on the door early in the morning. When I opened it, I saw that it was Shitou and others.

"Shitou, why don't you have a village yet? The Chinese New Year is coming in two days."

Yan Kai put his hands inside his sleeves to keep warm.

"Yan Kai, this...is what we want, you...don't retreat!" Shitou said, and other villagers brought in a bag.

"It's either not a good thing, it's just that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone made a lot of money thanks to your kindness, so I bought these..." Shitou said in a condescending manner.

But Yan Kai understood that it was extremely cold this year, and Shitou and the others were doing a good job in making kangs.

Many wealthy households in Luoyang invited them to go, not just those of them who built a restaurant in the Yan family to make Kang beds for others.

It turned out that many people in Yan Kai's village were taken out by them.

I really made a lot of money before the New Year, so I planned to go home for the New Year today, so I sent something to Yan Kai's family.

These people didn't buy any gifts. In the end, they just gave some more grains, which means that the Yan family will have a good harvest next year.

Mrs. Yan said that she was from the same village, why did she give these to her, and she couldn't close her mouth while laughing.

These gifts are not expensive, and the restaurant they open can probably buy them with half a day's earnings, but they are gifts from the original villagers.

What does this mean? It means that people in the village remember their family's good looks, and this is better than any gift.

Feeling happy, Mrs. Yan saw that everyone's ears were red from the cold. She took out the hats she and Axiu usually made and gave one to each of them.

In particular, this hat, according to its appearance, can be turned down to cover the ears. After wearing it for a few years, I would be reluctant to take it off.

I thanked him profusely and then returned to the village.

Yan Kai and Yan Laoer moved these things back to the room. Yan Kai looked at the sky today. It was clear and clear. Although it was cold, at least there was no rain or snow.

Smiling, he said to Yan Laoer and Sister Yan: "Our family will also go to Luoyang to buy some things today to prepare for the New Year!"

"What don't you have at home? Why go to Luoyang to spend that wasted money?" Sister-in-law Yan was not willing at first.

Yan Laoer was about to say yes, but when Sister Yan said this, she also retracted the hand she was about to raise.

"Oh, mother, isn't it okay for the left and right? Besides, look at the waiter's writing brush. He has to study medicine with three gentlemen after the new year."

When talking about Yan Xiaoer's studies, Mrs. Yan immediately changed her attitude and agreed to go to Luoyang.

When Zheng Zhixun returned to Xingyang, he left a carriage for Yan Kai and parked it at Yan's restaurant.

Without looking for a horseman, Yan Kai drove the carriage himself and took the whole family to Luoyang.

When the old Taoist priest Miaoying was in the car, Yan Xiaoer calmed down a lot and sat next to Yan Laoer.

Yan Sanya, on the other hand, had no such scruples. She knelt on Mrs. Yan's legs and leaned against the car window to look out. Her little face was flushed by the cold wind and she was unwilling to stop.

Yan Kai could only scare her and said: "Sanya, if you blow the cold wind again, your face will be as cold as the ice fish on the Luo River."

Sanya was frightened back after hearing this. If the fish fished out of the Luo River were placed on the ice, they would freeze hard in a short time and would have to be smashed with a hammer or poured with boiling water to thaw.

She was not willing to use a hammer and boiling water.

Everyone laughed when they saw it. Only Yan Kai could cure Sanya now.

Entering Luoyang City, because the Chinese New Year is coming, there is a big market held before the New Year. Many people with extra money at home will come to buy some things at this time, and the streets are much livelier than usual.

Sister-in-law Yan took Yan Xiaoer and went straight to the shop selling pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Yan Kai said to Yan Laoer and put Yan Sanya on his shoulders.

"Let's go shopping for New Year's goods!"

Yan Kai is not short of money now, and he doesn't have the same consumption concept as Yan's sister-in-law. He directly hired a porter to follow him on the street and asked him to carry it while he was buying.

In just a short time, I bought a lot of things.

"Brother, there, there, you're making dough!"

With the "height advantage", Sanya found the target immediately, pointed at a place and said to Yan Kai.

Yan Kai followed her instructions and came to the street, and sure enough he saw a white-haired old man huddled in the corner.

In front of him was a bamboo pole wrapped in straw with many doughnuts stuck on it.

Seeing Yan Kai coming over, he quickly cheered up and asked, "Does the guest want to buy a noodle shop?"

Yan Kai looked at his facial expressions and asked strangely: "What are these?"

The uncle said with some embarrassment: "I secretly listened to others telling some stories about the Three Kingdoms, so I picked a few according to the people in them."

No wonder, when Yan Kai looked at the scribe with the feather fan and silk scarf, he thought he was pinching Zhuge Liang, and the one holding the snake spear must be Zhang Fei.

How can I put it this way? There is nothing to say about this man's skill in making faces. Even the folds of the clothes are made lifelike. However, he probably lacks some imagination and seems a bit rigid in terms of character movements and other aspects.

He thought that he planned to hold some activities in the restaurant after the Chinese New Year, because the restaurant became popular because of the Three Kingdoms, and he initially planned to do some Three Kingdoms peripherals.

But after thinking about it at the time, only Sister Axiu could embroider something related to the Three Kingdoms.

Now that he saw this person, he reacted immediately.

Isn't this a figure of Tang Dynasty? What is more suitable for making peripheral products than figures?

Of course, he still had to test the uncle's skills. Originally, today was a live broadcast for the market, and there were already many netizens in the live broadcast room. He asked directly in the live broadcast room: "What do you want to see this uncle do? Let's try his craft."

"Pinch Ace!"

"Uchiha Itachi!"

"Oh, don't pass the knife upstairs, just pinch an Eriyi!"

"I think Koro-sensei should have a name here!"

"That Red-Slashing Eye should have many names!"

"In this case, I would nominate Sasha from Attack on Titan!"

Yan Kai didn't expect that he would just ask everyone and let the old man draw something to show his craftsmanship. Unexpectedly, the style of painting suddenly changed and turned into a knife-passing competition?

"Okay, okay, you have to play like this, right?"

Yan Kai smiled and took out a character printed on concrete white paper from his bag: "Uncle, pinch this!"

"Hold the grass, Jiraiya!"
