The sick man turned out to be a loyal dog

The introduction of hot pot instantly attracted many people, not because it is delicious or delicate, but because it makes people unable to stop eating it.

Just like some people like spicy food, the nostrils are obviously hot, but they still can't help stuffing them into their mouths one by one. Without him, it feels so refreshing to eat.

A pot of bright red soup, the meat is scalded inside, and then dipped in some sauce, it tastes great, and the price of a pot of hot pot is not expensive, one hundred yuan, there are meat and vegetables, if you don’t eat it Have fun, and then ask Xiaoer to add what he likes, and settle the bill together after eating, enough to be satisfied.

Now that the post station is established, more and more people come and go to do business, and local businessmen sense business opportunities, and all kinds of business are done. At this time, it is inevitable to invite guests to dinner to enhance mutual "friendship". Then, a restaurant, is preferred.

In addition, the last time Shen Ning and Tang Yanxiu mentioned the matter of the restaurant in the station to the county magistrate, only then did they know that the county magistrate himself has a son who is also studying at Qiushan Academy, and the head of Qiushan Academy is with them. On the other hand, will the county magistrate help his nephew to slap his son's mountain chief in the face?He is not stupid.

So, Shen Ning was relieved, in this world, the status of a scholar is relatively high, let alone his son's husband, you must know that respecting teachers is important, then respecting teachers is still ahead!

Sure enough, within a few days, the station restaurant stopped talking about chess, but the dishes were still copied, but I heard that the other party had recruited a new chef.

"It doesn't matter. They have one chef and we have two. If they work hard, we work harder. We are not afraid of losing business!"

Everyone in the restaurant was encouraged by Shen Ning, especially the two chefs, who immediately patted their arms and said that they were definitely not bad. One of them was a chef from Wuzhou. After the restaurant closed, they came here, Shen Ning The salary is not low, and if there are new dishes, there will be extra rewards, so I am not afraid that they will not be careful.

Everyone is motivated, but there is only one person who seems to be a little bit unmotivated.

"Tang Qi, tell me, what's wrong with you? Why are you so absent-minded."

"Ah——" Tang Qi suddenly raised his head when his name was called out, and then lowered his head in annoyance.

"Second shopkeeper, I'm fine, I'm fine." Tang Qi hurriedly started to do the work in hand, but his face didn't change much, Shen Ning was wondering, what happened to this little rabbit Tang?

I couldn't get an answer even after asking, and after a few days, the answer came to my door automatically.

"Shanchang Zhai, tell me, you want to accept Tang Qi as a student?" No wonder Shen Ning was surprised. What Shanzhang Zhai said here has a different meaning. The students in the school are all his students, and the acceptance of students he mentioned here should have the flavor of "personal disciples".

"Tang Qi never told me about this." After thinking for a while, Shen Ning suddenly understood why Tang Qi was depressed during this time. It turned out to be this matter!

"Xiao Wu, go and call Tang Qi over, just say that I have something to tell him." Shen Ning saw Li Wu passing by, and stopped him by the way, asking him to help find Tang Qi.

Li Wu left in response, and Tang Qi came over after a while, and frowned when he saw Zhai Shubai opposite Shen Ning.

"Second treasurer."

"Xiao Qi'er, do you want to go to the academy to study?"

"Second shopkeeper, Xiaoqi doesn't want to go anywhere, I'll just help the second shopkeeper." Tang Qi plopped down and knelt down for Shen Ning, the expression on his face was panic, but also sad, Shen Ning was startled, Then he went over immediately, trying to pull him up.

"Get up, Tang Qi, it's Zhai Shanzhang who wants to accept you as a student. I called you here to ask your opinion. If you don't want to, forget it."

After finally pulling him up, Shen Ning persuaded him again.

"However, you are still young, and you will never be able to just stay in this restaurant in the future. With Zhai Shanzhang, you can learn something, and maybe you can get a job in the future. If you say it, we will be awesome!" Although Tang Qi is still a slave, as long as he takes the deed of selling himself to the Yamen for cancellation, he can still take part in the imperial examination. It can be seen that Tang Qi does not dislike reading. Shen Ning is still at his age. Holding the book and chewing madly.

"Tang Qi, your understanding of books is very high, don't bury yourself. If you are worried about the two shopkeepers, you can come back to help in the future. The academy is not far from the restaurant."

"Master Zhai Shan, the second shopkeeper..." Tang Qi looked a little embarrassed, he really wanted to go to the academy to study, but that would be a pity to the second shopkeeper.

"Go, study hard, if you have a future, your father will be very happy."

Just when he was hesitating, words came from behind him, and several people looked up, it was Tang Yanxiu.

"You're here." Shen Ning breathed a sigh of relief, he really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of situation, if one of them messes up, then he will become a sinner.

"En." Tang Yanxiu glanced at Shen Ning first, and then turned to Zhai Shubai who was beside him.

"Master Zhai Shan."

"Shopkeeper Tang." Zhai Shubai returned a salute, and looked at Tang Yanxiu who continued to talk to Tang Qi with some doubts. He always felt that the temperament of this shopkeeper Tang was not as good as ordinary people, but now it looks more like...

"Master Zhai Shan, Tang Qi agreed." Shen Ning's words interrupted Zhai Shubai's thoughts, and he immediately looked at Tang Qi who was standing aside.

"You really decided?"

"Yes, Shan, sir." Tang Qi's face was a little red, Shen Ning looked at it and nodded. thumbs up.

Tang Yanxiu laughed.

"Okay, okay." Zhai Shubai laughed suddenly, "Then you pack it up, and I will arrange a place for you to live in when you go to the academy in a few days. In these few days, the two shopkeepers will take care of you."

"Tang Qi's surname is Tang, so we should help him." Shen Ning smiled kindly on the surface, but he was slandering in his heart.

It's just that he has accepted apprentices, and he has become his own family.

But the slander belongs to the slander, Tang Qi has a good place to go, and Shen Ning is also happy for him.

"Thank you big shopkeeper, thank you second shopkeeper, I...I really don't know how to thank..." Tang Qi was really excited. Ever since he was sold, he never thought that he would have this day. It is a great fortune to meet a good master, but I didn't expect...

"Just study hard, then this restaurant will rely on your help to promote it!" Shen Ning joked, and then wanted to reach out to pat the other person's shoulder to show encouragement, but as soon as he moved his hand, he was caught.

The corner of his mouth twitched, but Shen Ning still didn't stick it out. In the end, he could only verbally express his encouragement.

It wasn't until Tang Qi walked away that Shen Ning turned around.

"Can you let go?"

The place where the two of them were standing was originally inconspicuous, and now that the weather was starting to get colder, Tang Yanxiu was wearing a loose robe. Once the sleeves were covered, he couldn't see the movements below.

"If I let go, you won't remember again. It's better to keep pulling." Tang Yanxiu looked helpless. You made a mistake and I was very helpless. Shen Ning wanted to pull his hand back, but not only did he not pull it back, but the other person's body instead It's getting closer.

"Stop, don't get close!" The familiar breath came from the nose, Shen Ning was a little dizzy, and his body was a little hot.

This damn body.

Shen Ning grinds his teeth, and this situation will continue for a month. Thinking about it, he feels that life is hopeless.

In the end, Shen Ning was dragged back to the room.

In a wing room where several people lived, Tang Qi was packing his things.

He is 15 years old this year. When he was 12 years old, something happened at home. His parents passed away one after another. After that, he lived with his uncle. However, his uncle is a miserly person, and he is half a child. He can eat, but he can't do much. So he was sold by his uncle in less than two years, and he didn't blame his uncle, or thanks to him, he would be where he is today.

Pack up his things one by one, just as the two storekeepers and the head of the mountain said, now, he can only repay what they have done for him only by studying hard and getting fame in the future.

Thinking of Zhai Shanzhang, Tang Qi blushed a little. If it wasn't for chess, he wouldn't know Zhai Shanzhang.

Touching the chess pieces in his hands, Tang Qi neatly put them into the box one by one and covered them.

On the second day, Tang Qi woke up early, cleaned the restaurant early, and then went to the wing room on the second floor to arrange the chess pieces and other things.

Before, his job was to play chess with customers and tell them how to move chess. From now on, he has to go by himself.

"Tang Qi."

After he finished everything, Tang Yanxiu also stood downstairs, and the others got up and started working one after another. When they saw Tang Qi, they would congratulate him and encourage him.

"Big shopkeeper."

Tang Qi walked over, and when he was not far away, Tang Yanxiu handed over a piece of paper.

"This is your contract of sale. Let me say it first. The contract of sale was given to you, but what happens in the future depends entirely on you."

"You don't have to thank me, remember what I said yesterday."

Tang Qi stretched out his hand to take the contract of sale, his hands trembling a little. Although others couldn't understand what Tang Yanxiu said yesterday, he could understand it.

"I will definitely do it." He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes determined.

"Go."

……

"he's gone?"

Hearing the sound of the door, Shen Ning moved and finally emerged from under the quilt.

"Well, the academy is not far from the restaurant, so no one gave it away."

"Ah... such a cute Zhengtai's face... I can't pinch it again."

"what?"

"It's nothing." Shen Ning replied quickly, and then continued to look up at...the roof, and suddenly felt that this man was really lonely as snow...
