Depressed little landlord

I don't know if the charcoal fire is in the south. Lin Xuan has never seen it for sale, and he wants to do a small business of barbecue. How can he lack charcoal?

The tools have already been made by the blacksmiths in the town, and the people in the family are very interested in this, and they all express to help when the time comes.

Lin Xuan was troubled for two days, and still stayed in Xu Yang's room at night and did not go back to his room.

Butler Hua got angry before, and the two of them had to sleep in separate rooms obediently. Well, the main reason was that Xu Yang was obedient. On the first night, all the brothers from the Lin family stayed in his room eagerly. Sleep over there.

Seeing Steward Hua was angry and helpless, but this time Xu Yang actually supported Steward Hua's decision, stroking the hair of the two of them one by one, persuading them: "Grandpa is right, the conditions did not allow it before, but now there are many rooms at home. If you do this again, you will definitely invite people to gossip, and it will be bad for you and Xun'er."

"I just……"

"I care!" Before Lin Xuan finished speaking, Xu Yang lowered his head suddenly, and pressed his forehead against his, and said slowly: "Xiao Xuan, as long as it is about you, I care. So, I just slept separately, if only……"

"what?"

"We can go back to how we were before, trust me, huh?"

The ending sound of the last "um" is slightly raised, as if being gently caressed by a feather, which makes people's ears and heart paralyzed, and those who scratch their hearts and lungs, want to grab it but can't find it anywhere.

Lin Xuan blushed hotly, and his heart was pounding.

No matter whether the other party was talking or breathing, the warm breath sprayed directly on his face, and he almost couldn't hear what the other party was saying.Although they had done something more intimate than this position before, but being watched so intently by Xu Yang and hearing his soft and low voice in his ears, all of this made him unable to extricate himself, and almost forgot Where are you.

"Good, good."

Dazedly, he agreed, and it wasn't until he saw the smile on the other party's face that he couldn't hide it, that Lin Xuan belatedly remembered what the other party said, as well as his own answer, and immediately blushed from head to toe.

"I, I'll take Xun'er back to my room first."

As he said that, Lin Xuan picked up Douding who had been sitting on the bedside and looked at them innocently, and hurried back to the room, leaving behind him a burst of deep laughter suddenly sounded in the room.

Charcoal is still the most important thing at the moment. No way, Lin Xuan can only use a stupid method, let Xu's mother and the others pay attention when lighting the fire, and take out the unburned charcoal, pour water on it, and then put it in the yard to dry .

And in order to accumulate more, Lin Xuan and the others simply burned those large pieces of firewood, so that they can dry a batch at a time, but this method is not efficient, after all, water is poured on it. Fortunately, there are still sunshine during the day these days .

Fortunately, the weather is getting cooler now, so it won't be too painful to guard the fire.It's just that their family has consumed too much firewood recently. If it weren't for the addition of a few young men, and the most indispensable thing in the village is trees, otherwise the workload would be quite heavy.

People in the village were naturally curious about what the Lin family did, and Lin Xuan didn't hide it. He said it very frankly, and popularized the usefulness of charcoal fire a little bit.

The villagers were very surprised, dubious, Lin Xuan just smiled and didn't say anything more, but finally said "you will know when it's cold", the villagers think it makes sense, wait a while to see the effect Just know.

"Master, is this really so easy to use?" Xiao Qi has been helping to light fires and make charcoal recently, so he naturally listened to the whole end of Lin Xuan's answers to the villagers, and couldn't help asking after everyone had left.

Lin Xuan still replied patiently: "That's right, when the weather is too cold, you can directly burn a pot in the room, which is much better than directly burning wood fire, and there will not be so much smoke."

On the other side, Qiangzi who was drying charcoal with a dustpan listened and nodded: "Then let's make more, young master. Then you and young master will cook a few more pots, so that you won't be afraid of the cold."

"That's right." Xiao Qi wiped the sweat off his face and agreed. "We don't have any more firewood, let's cut it."

Lin Xuan looked at them and smiled, and said: "As long as you are not afraid of hard work, you can do as much as you want, don't forget that we still have business."

"Master, this bit of suffering is nothing."

Hearing the words of two people who were only a little older than himself, Lin Xuan secretly smiled and shook his head, but he was quite satisfied with the two of them in his heart.

As for the other man named Mu, he followed Xu Yang into the mountains today. He was honest and dull, and he rarely talked, but he worked very hard. A reassuring one.

And when Lin Xuan and the others were making charcoal fire, Xu's mother, Mrs. Tian and the others were not idle. After finishing the work with Xiaoju every day, they went into the kitchen to delve into the ingredients that Lin Xuan said. The hard work paid off, and it really made them The ingredients that Lin Xuan was very satisfied with were configured.

When Lin Xuan and the others ordered things before, their homemade charcoal fire finally dried up a batch. I tried it, and it was not bad. At first, I didn’t know how to heat it properly, and it was overburned, but I slowly fumbled later, although Not as good as the ones that specialize in smoldering, but pretty good.

Lin Xuan looked at the charcoal after the experiment, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's not a waste of effort."

Everyone is also very happy. After a few days of hard work, there is finally a result. After that, it depends on the business.

Seeing everyone's happy expressions, Lin Xuan was also in a good mood, waved his hand and said loudly: "Everyone has worked hard this time, take a good rest tonight, we will go to town tomorrow to try, and let everyone taste these delicacies .”

"Yes."

Led by Xiaoqi who is the most lively, Qiangzi and Qiangzi answered loudly, and the others also responded with a smile, and then retreated one after another.

After everyone had left, Lin Xuan sat down and lay down on the table, tilting his head to look at Xu Yang next to him.

"The pot and the grill are ready?"

"Ah."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan couldn't help laughing, "Then let's do a good job, and when we have more money, we will buy a shop, so that we won't be afraid of running back and forth."

This is what they discussed before. It is better to set up a stall in the town. Although their family has a donkey cart, the distance is not too short. If the business is good, Lin Xuan would like to sell it at night, after all, the barbecue In modern times, night comes more often.

"Okay." Xu Yang agreed as always.

"But who should be there to guard it? Mother Xu is good at crafting, but it's not good to let her guard the stall all day long. Sister-in-law Tian is a little inferior, but to be honest, I still prefer to eat what Mother Xu made vegetable……"

Lin Xuan scratched his head in distress, and looked at Xu Yang pitifully, "Xu Yang, help me think about it, I don't even know who to let go."

Xu Yang gently stroked his exposed cheeks with his big hand, and said distressedly: "It's okay, I'll go with them tomorrow, try it for two days first, and if it's good, then decide who will go and who will stay home, you can take care of yourself these two days." Rest, and teach Xun'er how to read and write."

"Ah--"

"Ah."

***

On this day, a novel stall came to the town. It was almost noon, and it happened to be a small market day. People came and went. Some people who came to the market early in the morning brought their own food, and some spent one or two copper coins. Buy a big steamed stuffed bun and eat it with clear water, and those who are in good condition or really hungry start looking for something to eat.

The stall was just set up, but there are new people coming to set it up every day, so everyone didn't pay much attention to it, at most they were curious about the furnishings.

Of course, this is for ordinary people. Those restaurants and restaurants on this street have more or less paid attention to it. After all, the shopkeeper Xiang has been there all the time, which naturally attracted the attention of other shopkeepers.

"Is there anything to see? It's not like I haven't seen it before. You, a big shopkeeper, are so idle?"

The stall was naturally Xu Yang and the others. After another group of waiters from other restaurants came to inquire, Xu Yang looked at Xiang Qing who was standing motionless on the steps and stared at them, and said angrily.

Xiang Qing ignored his words, and still focused on watching Xiaoqi Qiangzi quickly set up the shelf and light the fire. The charcoal needs to be heated up before it can be roasted. Xiang Qing knows that, he mainly It's because there are still small pots on the cart. Although they are tightly covered, there is still a little smell occasionally.

It was a smell he had never smelled before, just a little bit, and he couldn't help drooling right now.

Therefore, he didn't care about his friend's "cynicism" at all, and even invited the shop assistants when Xu Yang and the others arranged things similarly.

"You go to the third alley of the East Street and invite Master Qi. Today I will treat him to something delicious."

"Yes, shopkeeper." The waiter glanced at the newly opened stall at the entrance of his restaurant, knowing that the shopkeeper knew him, and ran to invite someone without saying a word.

Judging by the shopkeeper's appearance, it is probably really delicious. If the price is not expensive, they can also try it.

"Xu Yang, hurry up, it's been a long time, and when everyone else is full, how can you sell it?" Xiang Qing knew they were going to do this when he was still in the Lin family, so he didn't bring it up at that time. In fact, he is also very interested in barbecue, but since people want to do it by themselves, then forget it.

But he won't miss the delicious food.

Without raising his head, Xu Yang asked Mu Mu to move down the small pot carefully, and replied: "You still lack this food? Your cook can't cook anything delicious?"

Xiang Qing waved his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm tired of eating too much... Hurry up, the fire is burning, hurry up, give me ten skewers first, what's in that pot? Get a little of each."

"Thank you, it's newly opened, thank you for your patronage, Qiangzi, I will send two more strings to the shopkeeper later."

"it is good."

Following their words, Xiaoqi has already started roasting two skewers in one hand, and Mother Xu is also holding a few skewers, but it will be Mama Xu who will brush the sauce, and Mrs. Tian will be guarding Xiaoguo. , She opened the lids one by one when the wood burned the charcoal fire below, and the smell inside immediately wafted out.

"fragrant!"

Xiang Qing jumped down, stood in front of the stall, took a deep breath, looked at the three small pots, and saw that there were already wooden sticks inside, so he grabbed one out of one of the pots without saying a word. It was a few transparent things, but there was some red substance on the surface. After sniffing, suddenly—"Ah, why are you so choking? This is... a carrot?"

Mrs. Tian handed him an empty plate and smiled restrainedly. Although Xiang Qing and the others knew each other well, this was the first time they had set up a stall in the street to do business in public. It was impossible to say that they were not nervous. I was afraid that the things would not be sold, and I would disappoint the young master's expectations.

"Ah, I'm sorry, the one you brought to the shopkeeper is spicy. Uh, the taste is rather pungent. There are non-spicy ones here. Would you like to change this?"

It was only then that Xiang Qing noticed that the pot in front of him was glowing red, and when he heard Mrs. Tian's words, he immediately understood what the red thing on the radish was, and became even more interested, "It's okay, I'll try this first."

After speaking, I tried to take a bite. First of all, the radish has been boiled soft, but it still has a unique fragrance, and the radish does not need to be chewed, but in the next second, a strong taste explodes in the taste buds, spicy!

It was the first time Xiang Qing ate such a strong flavor, his face turned red, and he opened his mouth and exhaled regardless of his image.

"how?"

A warm and pleasant voice sounded in his ears, and Xiang Qing suddenly turned his head, only to realize that there were people standing behind him at some point, but he didn't care about it, he only had that handsome man in his eyes.

"Xiao, huh~Xiaoling~huh~ you're here~huh~ so spicy!" He said so, but took a big bite again, and said vaguely: "It turns out that the radish is quite delicious, hehe. "

In this weather, I was sweating all of a sudden, and tears and snot were about to flow down my nose. Xiang Qing still didn't know it...

Qi Ling silently took a small step back, Xu Yang silently handed him a bowl of water, Xiao Qiqiang lowered his head, his shoulders shook for a while, but thinking of yesterday when they tasted it by themselves, they fell silent again, and gave Xiang Qing I give my utmost understanding.

Xiang Qing took a big sip of water and felt that his mouth was not so hot anymore, so he eagerly asked Qi Ling to taste it too, not forgetting to ask Mrs. Tian to help put the plate in his mouth.

"Sister-in-law Tian, ​​this, this, and that are all the same. I'll ask someone to bring them into the store. Let's go, Xiao Lingzi, let's go in first and wait."

This is exactly what Qi Ling wanted, let him just look like Xiang Qing in the street like before, even if he was beaten to death.

After the two left, other people around came up to ask, some asked the price, some asked how the taste was,
