Sesame Green Bean Garlic

Walking from Liangchen to the square, I saw Huo Zian riding a bicycle around under the locust tree.

"Morning!" You Liangchen shouted to him from afar.

Huo Zian stopped the car, saw You Liangchen, and said with a smile, "Morning!"

You Liangchen approached him: "What are you doing?"

"Exercise," he got out of the car, let the bicycle lean against the locust tree, and continued: "It's so cold, I'm sweating."

"Are you going around here early in the morning?" You Liangchen felt that Huo Zian's brain circuit was really strange.

"Well, it's been around for half an hour."

Yu Liangchen: "You might as well swim around the moat twice."

Zian bowed his head and smiled without saying a word.You Liangchen lowered his voice: "Are you nervous?"

Huo Zian raised his head, wanting to admit it, but when he saw You Liangchen's eyes, he suddenly felt embarrassed, paused, and said, "Why? - Hey, can the moat still swim?" He wanted to change the subject.

Unexpectedly, You Liangchen immediately picked up the bicycle, raised his head and said, "Yes, I will take you to see it!"

Before Zian agreed, he was recruited by You Liangchen to the back seat of the bicycle.You Liangchen kicked hard, led Huo Zian, and rode towards the street.

The thin sunlight shone down, covering the car and the two people.They passed through the shadow of the alley, and the sun retreated for a while, and when they left the alley, the sun chased after them like a shadow.You Liangchen rode fast, faster than the brightness of the sun. Gradually, Zi'an felt that the people, cars, buildings, and sounds around him all became meaningless lines. Only You Liangchen's back and slight panting filled the rest. world.He couldn't even feel himself...

You Liangchen braked the car suddenly, Huo Zian rushed forward and hit You Liangchen on the back.

"what happened?"

"Fuck! There's construction ahead. We can't make it through." He turned around and rode in the other direction.After less than five meters, he stopped again, turned to Zi'an and said, "If you can't, just hug me, I'm going to speed up."

Zian laughed in surprise: "You can still speed up, how many electric cars have you passed just now!" You Liangchen turned his head back to the front, "Let's go!"

Huo Zian immediately hugged You Liangchen's waist obediently.

After more than ten minutes, the two arrived at the moat.Zi'an breathed a sigh of relief, this section of the journey was really tormented.Sure enough, Yu Liangchen kicked faster. Zi'an sat in the back, and if he didn't hug him tightly, his face would rub against Yu Liangchen's back at any time. The situation made his whole body warm, and he seemed to be sweating again.Moreover, You Liangchen rode so fast, as fast as if he was about to fly, lightly...

After they got off the car, they stood behind the white marble railing.Looking around, it is a snow-capped river.It was a rare snowfall the day before yesterday, and the piles on the river haven't melted yet.

"It's freezing, how can I swim?" Zi'an asked.

You Liangchen picked up a stone casually, "It's not freezing today." He flicked his arm, trying to smash a hole in the ice.The stone was thrown down and hit the ice, but only small ice chips were ground out.

Huo Zian: "I'll do it." He found a bigger stone and threw it towards the ice surface, with a soft thud, but only made a shallow hole.

Unwilling, the two picked up stones everywhere, and then took turns bombing the same place.In the end, the two of them ruined the surrounding area again, and they could no longer find the stone.

"Are you saying it's freezing? I think the ice is thicker than the city wall."

You Liangchen frowned: "I don't believe it anymore, let's jump down and have a look!"

Huo Zian quickly grabbed him, "It's alright, alright, stop playing."

"You don't swim anymore?"

Zian laughed: "Who the hell wants to swim in the cold weather?"

The two turned and leaned against the fence.Huo Zian let out a breath, tossed a round, his whole body was warm and soft, and said to You Liangchen, "Thank you, I'm not nervous anymore."

You Liangchen smiled: "Are you nervous?"

"Yes. It's like getting married soon. Although I chose the bride, I still feel a little uneasy when I want to lift her veil."

Yu Liangchen didn't answer, and slowly took out a coin from his pocket, held it in his palm for a while, and then threw it into the river.

Huo Zian looked at the parabola of the coin, and followed the coin as it fell onto the glacier. "What are you doing?"

"Make a wish." You Liangchen looked at Huo Zian and said, "I wish the restaurant will be full of guests and make a lot of money."

After hearing this, Huo Zian felt warm in his heart.Although they are all clichés, they are different when they are spoken from You Liangchen's mouth.He smiled and said, "I accept your precious words."

Huo Zian also took out a coin from his pocket, clasped his palms together, made a wish, and tossed it backwards.The coin fell lightly on the surface of the river that was riddled with holes by them, stopped for a few seconds, and began to sink.

Then the two of them watched helplessly as the river that had been frozen for thousands of years cracked open, and the cracks spread all the way to both sides. The large ice cubes on the table swayed a bit, revealing the dark blue water at the edge.

The ice is really cracked!

The two froze, looked at each other, and laughed together.

You Liangchen said: "The wish you made is too awesome, the iceberg is split, and the restaurant will definitely be smooth sailing."

Huo Zian glanced at him and said with a smile, "My wish has nothing to do with the restaurant."

"Ok?"

"My wish..." Huo Zian was halfway through speaking, and suddenly decided not to tell You Liangchen.He must keep this wish in his heart, waiting for the day when it will come true.

So he picked up his bicycle, "Go back, it's time to open the door to work. Get in the car, I'll take you this time!"

The two returned to the Bell Tower Square.The sun turned the gray walls into pale yellow, and Huo Zian felt relaxed, thinking that although the color of this place was poor, it was really cute.

When he turned into the alley, he saw a piece of snow-white paper pasted on the bulletin board, which he had never seen before.

He read it carefully, and then suspected that he didn't know Chinese characters.He looked at You Liangchen and asked You Liangchen for help.You Liangchen also read it again, but his face was expressionless.

"What does this mean? Is the alley to be demolished?" Huo Zian asked in disbelief.

Yu Liangchen didn't answer, turned around and walked into the alley.

Huo Zian was stunned.For a while, he still couldn't think of the relationship between the demolition of the alley and himself.He was just filled with a sense of unreality—the sunshine is still there, but the gray wall is almost gone?

The two returned to the store in despair, their good mood before sank into the Wannian Glacier.

Wei Guoen saw Huo Zian, and immediately came out to greet him, almost wagging his tail.Zian was very depressed, but he looked at Wei Guoen, and then at the smiling Oji, and felt that he couldn't go on mourning like this.So he walked into the yard and found several old people sitting around the table eating melon seeds.

"Have you seen the notice at the entrance of the alley? It says that our alley is going to be rectified? Does that mean...it's going to be demolished?"

Uncle Cheng said "Hey", "It's been said for three or five years, is this going to be serious?"

Seeing Zi'an's serious expression, Aunt Kong comforted her, "Don't worry, this area is a protected area, we can't tear it down!"

You Dacheng also said: "That's right, rectification, maybe it's just painting a door, mending bricks, pulling out the grass on the roof tiles, at worst, digging a water pipe; didn't you do this during the Olympics?"

Hearing what the two said, Zian was a little relieved.He invested too much in the restaurant, and he didn't want to be uprooted by a forklift as soon as he opened the door for business.

Uncle Cheng took a sip of his tea and said slowly, "But having said that, An Zi, don't look at the disgraceful alley, every inch is gold. The housing prices in the second ring road are almost soaring to 20 square meters, you How much is this worth?"

Aunt Kong's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Is it all so expensive? Then how much compensation will we have to demolish our place?"

"It can't be tens of millions!"

You Dacheng quickly waved his hands, "It can't be dismantled, absolutely can't be dismantled!"

The four old men argued.

Huo Zian saw that they had their own plans, and they didn't know what to say, so he was in a state of panic.But now there is no turning back. Since I chose this place, I can only be led by the external tide.In the general trend of this city's development, Huo Zian's small shop is nothing, just like the restaurant's nickname, it's just sesame mung beans and garlic!

Since the situation cannot be changed, there is no use worrying about it.Huo Zian encouraged himself: Let's take one step at a time.

Firecrackers crackled and rang through the alleys, grabbing the tail of the Spring Festival, and seized the last chance to explode like crazy.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers during the Lantern Festival, Huo Zian's restaurant finally opened.

Neighbors in the alley came to join in the fun.Some people sent jujube cakes made by themselves, some sent potted plants, and some brought fireworks to be set off when it got dark.Kuizi hugged a kitten, and when she entered the door, she shouted, "Brother Zi'an, Brother Liang, congratulations to you!"

Old Madam Cheng laughed and said, "Look at what you said, those who didn't know, thought they were getting married here."

Huo Zian took the kitten: "Is this for us?" "Well, it's only been a month. It's cute. Brother Liang likes kittens the most."

Huo Zian handed the kitten to You Liangchen.You Liangchen hugged him, seeing that the kitten was not afraid of people, and licked its paws on its own, with a gentle expression on its face.

Huo Zian ordered: "Let's put it in the yard first," and patted the cat fur on his body.

You Liangchen walked into the yard with the kitten in his arms.Compared with the bustle of the restaurant, it is very quiet here.It was getting dark, and the lanterns on the jujube trees were dimly lit, and a few roses were blooming alone, with a few scallions planted beside them.The surrounding area is coated with a layer of blue, which makes it look even deeper.

The courtyard had not changed much since he was born.Although it wasn't pretty, and it wasn't well-maintained; although he was never attached to it—but, is it really going to disappear?

You Liangchen stared blankly at the blue-gray tiles, but didn't notice that the kitten in his arms had escaped, jumped into the water tank in two or three steps, and then jumped onto the wall.The kitten raised its tail proudly, looking around.Unexpectedly, a string of firecrackers rang out, and the kitten jumped from the wall to the stone bricks in the courtyard in fright, and ran into the shadow of the tile vat, only the tips of its furry ears were exposed.

Yu Liangchen smiled, poured some milk for the kitten, and put it in front of it.The kitten was frightened, but hid inside instead.

"Eat." You Liangchen said softly, "Don't be afraid."

After a while, the kitten still didn't move.So he stood up, carefully cleaned the cat hair off his body, and walked into the restaurant with warm yellow lights.

Huo Zian prepared drinks and snacks for the guests: pear and duck liver pate on baguettes, marinated swordfish with citrus foam, kebabs with rosemary crisps, roast suckling pig cut into small cubes, jasmine ice cream and Arctic ice smoothie, various buns baked by Oji, and lobster soup made by Wei Guoen.

Lao Bao came with Li Dahu. "Uncle Zi'an, congratulations on the opening of your new store, I wish you a bigger and bigger business, and open a hundred branches!"

Huo Zian patted his head, "Thank you! But uncle doesn't have the ability to open so many branches, such an important task, I leave it to you."

Lao Bao said to his son: "Do you think opening a fried chicken restaurant requires a lot of thought, concentration and creativity, you know?"

Li Dahu happily replied: "I know! I have learned natural logarithm and 66-degree constant temperature!"

"Ah?!" Old Bao was at a loss.

Huo Zian said to Li Dahu: "There's a lot of food there, go try it and tell uncle if it's good or not?"

Li Dahu cheered and ran towards the food.

Lao Bao shook hands with Huo Zian, "Congratulations, you really made it. Although I don't like it, I am very moved."

Huo Zian took a step forward and hugged Lao Bao: "Thank you."

Lao Bao patted him on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "The future is difficult, so I can take care of myself." Huo Zian let him go, and said with a helpless smile: "Hey, can't you say something nice?"

Lao Bao rubbed his hands, "Honesty is the greatest virtue. Zian, what's delicious today?"

"There are some over there, but they are all for eating and playing. I haven't cooked the main course yet. I'm waiting for you to help me."

"Ah?!" Old Bao was puzzled again.He wrinkled his nose and said, "Cooking, no, no, no!" Seeing that there were a few colleagues from the catering industry present, he wanted to go and say hello.

Huo Zian didn't let him go so easily, he held his shoulders and said, "Follow me to the kitchen!"

"Forgive me." Old Bao begged.

"Didn't you say that you want to educate and educate children? To educate children, you must lead by example. It's useless for me to conjure up a garden for him. You can tell Li Dahu what is delicious."

Lao Bao had no choice but to compromise and said, "What are you doing?"

"Make dumplings, will you?"
