I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

Si Nan and Tang Xuan came out of Xuande Gate, and saw a row of little beans squatting outside Xuande Gate from a distance.

It's my little boy!

Sinan walked a few steps, and the children happily crossed the Xuande Gate and threw themselves into Sinan's arms.

The soldiers guarding the gate smiled kindly and did not stop them.

The reserved Erlang didn't rush.

The aloof Tang Xuan was not rushed.

One big and one small looked at each other and looked away from each other.

Make it clear that you don't want the opponent to pounce/pounce on the other side.

After all, Little Sweetheart cub was thinking about the county king's father, after throwing at Sinan, he came to attack Tang Xuan again.

The sweet dimples caused the king of the county to curl his mouth, and with a wave of his long arm, he picked up the little guy.

The cub giggled and hooked his neck very skillfully.

The rest of the children didn't let them be hugged, and held Sinan's clothes corners with their small hands. You hold this side, I hold that side. Together, they actually pulled Sinan's clothes into a "puff skirt" effect.

"Your Majesty, Brother Huaishu hasn't come back yet?" Xiao Zai asked softly.

Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows, "What's your name?"

"Daddy of the county king." Xiao Zai changed his words wisely.

Naive Xuan was finally satisfied, and said calmly: "The pagoda tree stays to eat a wedding banquet with a colleague, and will return to Beijing with the County Lord Yong'an in three days."

Xiao Zai blinked, looked at him and then at Si Nan, then leaned into his ear, and said in a very small voice: "Little Zai also wants to eat wedding wine - from the county king's father and master brother."

Tang Xuan rubbed his little head, a soft smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth inadvertently, "It's coming soon."

The cub's eyes lit up, and he buried his head in the socket of his shoulder in surprise.

Tang Xuan kept smiling, hugged the child, and walked unhurriedly on the street next to his wife.

Today in Laba, many passers-by on the street saw a family coming up to talk and greet.

The deeds of Sinan and Tang Xuan in Hejian Mansion have been spread all over the capital, and now the common people regard them as heroes.

Everyone scrambled to greet them, not only being familiar with them, but also showing a bit of respect that could not be concealed.

Si Nan's mind is very stable, he is still the enthusiastic and humorous Si Xiaodong.

Don't be arrogant or arrogant, don't change your original intention.

Everyone is more respectful.

Finally entered the house.

The yellow dog, Xiaodai, was the first to pounce on him, with his pointed ears turned away, his head and tail swaying together, and the sound of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up.

Tiao Tiao also ran over on short legs, raised his front paws to look at Sinan, then at Tang Xuan, and finally chose to jump into the arms of "that terrible two-legged beast".

Because, Zai Zai's favorite little Twolegs is also there!

The cub's parents, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, also came to sniff Simon, and then quickly went back to the nest.

The lamb and ewe also bleated and greeted Sinan.

The deserted courtyard suddenly became lively.

Si Nan walked around in and out, but he couldn't tell that he hadn't lived in for more than a month.

The house has been cleaned, the kang has been heated, and the cotton quilts and leather mattresses are all freshly dried, and they still smell of sunshine.Even the rice noodle seasoning in the grass shed is added.

Erdou cooked the Laba porridge and kept it warm in the pot.

The fragrant and sweet taste escapes, and you will be greedy when you smell it.

Sinan wanted to serve it, but the children pushed him onto the chairs, and they did it themselves, filled the bowls and put them in front of Sinan and Tang Xuan.

There is not only porridge, but also a tray of white and fat flowers.

The shape of Huabobo is very interesting. It is not the traditional longevity peach, flower, or little rabbit or mouse, but it is made according to Tiaotiaozi, little lamb, Xiaodai and the children at home. The front ones are Sinan and Tang Xuan .

It doesn't look like it when you look closely, but it captures the charm of everyone and every animal just right, and people who are familiar with it can recognize it at a glance.

There is a long strip on the side of the cage, which circles several white and soft flower dumplings together, and writes "family" in red paint.

Sinan's eyes were filled with surprise, "Erdou, who did you learn this skill from?"

"It's not me, it's Xiao Mantou." Erdou smiled foolishly and pushed Xiao Mantou to the front.

When Xiao Mantou was still in Zhouqiao, he was small and thin, with sunken cheeks, but now he is fat and fat at home, he really looks like a soft little Mantou.

The little guy scratched his head and smiled shyly, "I don't learn how to make hot pot now, I learn how to knead flower cakes with sister-in-law Lin...sister-in-law said, I can do it well."

"This is not 'okay', it's amazing, the best in the world!" Sinan pulled the little guy into his arms, pinched the chubby face, "Your brother, I can't make such a good flower. cake."

After being praised by Si Nan, Xiao Mantou blushed with excitement, grabbed the flower cake representing himself, and brought it to Si Nan's mouth, "Brother Master, you eat!"

Si Nan laughed, "I can't bear to eat my baby, I'd better eat myself!"

As he spoke, he picked up "myself" and bit his head.

The children all laughed.

"The cubs eat themselves too!"

"Erdou also eats himself!"

"I eat myself too!"

"..."

Everyone ate "self".

In the end, "locust tree pastry" and "junwang pastry" are left.

The cub carefully picked up the "Prince King's Pastry" and held it up to Tang Xuan, "Daddy, eat yourself too!"

Tang Xuan took it in his hand, turned a corner, and brought it to Sinan's mouth, "Let Brother Nan eat me." Then he picked the one with the missing head in Sinan's hand, "I will eat Brother Nan."

The aggression and ambiguity in the eyes are not concealed.

Si Nannen's face became hot, and he bit off his head.

The children giggled and followed their example to exchange.

Drinking porridge and eating pastry always feels less tasteful.

Halfway through eating, Erdou yelled: "There are still big bones! Erniang sister stewed big bones!"

Only then did the children remember, and ran to the stove like a basket of small potatoes.

You take the bowl, I carry the pot, he lifts the lid, and I take the spoon, in short, everyone can find something to do.

Si Nan sat cross-legged like an old father, with loving eyes, "We're old, and we've got the glory of the children."

Tang Xuan shunned his half-loose bun and laughed.

You are a child too!

While eating meat, Sinan asked about the Yu family siblings.

Children, you answer each sentence one by one.

"My aunt made winter clothes for the store, and got a pot full of money, so I can buy meat for the New Year."

"Qibao has been greedy for meat for a long time, but he refuses to ask him to eat at a hotpot restaurant."

"Sister Sanniang is amazing. She manages the store very well. The day before yesterday, there was a customer who drank too much and went berserk. It was Sister Sanniang who threw him out."

"Sister Erniang is also very good, cooking is delicious!"

Erdou paused for a moment, then whispered: "I heard from Qibao that she saw Erniang's sister crying after school that day... she said that everyone in the family can earn money, so she ate rice alone."

The children sighed like adults, "It's so difficult!"

Sinan just wanted to laugh when he saw the serious faces of the little guys.

He took a bite of the bone and meat, and it was soft but not rotten. The heat was just right, and the bone marrow could just be scooped out with a small spoon. After one bite, it was smooth, tender and salty.

I heard that Erniang's cooking was delicious before, but I didn't expect it to be so good.

Si Nan said to Er Dou: "Talk to your Uncle Shi tomorrow, post a recruitment notice, and find a cook who can make sauced bone. It's almost Chinese New Year, let's add a sauced bone pot."

Er Dou reacted a bit slowly, "I can do it too, Master taught me... Master can do it too, why do you need someone else?"

Erlang winked at him.

Of course it was to help Erniang sister!

He immediately guessed what his brother was thinking.

Si Nan wanted to help Erniang Yu, but he didn't want to rush, he only offered her an opportunity suitable for her to take that step by herself.

The cub also reacted, and pushed the little eggplant, "You don't need Brother Erdou to say this, the little eggplant says it's the most appropriate."

It turned out that during the time when Sinan was away, Little Eggplant also found his purpose in life.

He has a Buddhist personality, doesn't fight or grab, and is very careful. Every time he runs errands between the back kitchen and the front hall, he always manages things in an orderly manner.

Cui Shi took a fancy to him, and took him by his side from time to time, teaching him to keep accounts, serve food, and deal with emergencies in the store.

Every day he goes to work earlier than others and leaves work later, but Little Eggplant has no complaints, always running around with a smile on his face, like a happy little spinning top.

Cui Shi observed for more than half a month, and finally officially accepted him, and trained him in the direction of management.

There is good news for the cubs too——

He was about to be promoted to class A, which was originally a preparatory class, but because he performed well in the ten-year exam, the head of the mountain gave him permission to enter class A after the new year. If all goes well, he can take the entrance examination for Taixue at the end of next year.

Dongzao and Erlang are also excellent.

Especially Erlang, who was originally just the "leader" of the junior class, is now the little leader of the entire martial arts arena.

Probably because he inherited the martial arts talent of his biological mother, Yue Linglong, and with Tang Xuan's guidance, this kid, at the age of six, crushed those twelve or thirteen-year-old seniors with all his strength, and became the most promising candidate for the next martial arts competition. One of the students cited.

Seven or eight-year-old Wu Juren...it's unimaginable.

Simon was not surprised.

He can see how hardworking and dedicated Erlang is, how sincere and passionate he is about martial arts.This kid has a clear goal, never half-hearted, and spends a lot of time on this matter every day.

If he can't succeed, no one else can.

Regardless of age.

As for the winter jujube...

After breaking down two doors, smashing three wooden stakes, and smashing countless grass targets, the Commander of the Mabu Army made a special trip to Ruoshui Academy to have a look at him and make an appointment for him.

After another three years of study, as long as his character remains unchanged, he can be elected to the horse army camp.

After leaving for only one month, the children have grown so much. Si Nan was relieved and ashamed, and bumped Tang Xuan's shoulder, "The old father must work hard, otherwise he will be compared by the children."

Tang Xuan wiped the oil stains around his mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a light smile, "Let's start with the eating etiquette."

Sinan... angrily took a big bite of his flesh.

It is not calm, elegant and unkempt, and it just wants to get on the mouth.

Anyway... someone wiped it.

Tang Xuan smiled and wiped resignedly.

Satisfied, Sinan shook his head and continued eating.

The children poked their heads and snickered while gnawing on their bones.

After eating, Tang Xuan went back to the county palace to report his safety, and returned after staying for less than an hour.

Si Nan didn't expect him to come back, and he was telling ghost stories to the children under the covers!

There was a gust of cold wind outside, and the candles in the house were shaking. When he was talking about the climax, he suddenly raised his head, and suddenly a dark face was pasted outside the window.

Si Nan's soul is gone.

The children squealed and crawled into his arms.

Tang Xuan's face became even darker, and he strode into the house, carrying Si Nan to the west room.

Si Nan put a pair of long legs around his waist, grabbed the door frame and refused to leave, "The room is cold and there is no heat on the kang. Let's sleep here and sleep together, will it work?"

When Tang Xuan heard "sleep together", his expression improved a little.

Only a little bit.

Si Nan's legs circled even tighter, "You are next to me, we both sleep under the quilt, it happens to be—"

Before he finished speaking, he was thrown back onto the kang by Tang Xuan.

Immediately afterwards, Sinan witnessed with his own eyes what it meant to "take clothes off in a second", and he folded them into small tofu cubes and put them beside him.

Tang Xuan lay down neatly on the kang, lifted a corner of the quilt, and patted, "Come and sleep, don't freeze."

Simon... just obediently passed by.

Then he was hugged tightly, hands and feet intertwined.

The children turned sideways cleverly, hid their little heads in the quilt, neither listened nor looked, and never disturbed the "good things" of the adults!

***

Si Nanwo slept soundly in Tang Xuan's arms, had breakfast the next day, and happily went to the hot pot restaurant.

Before entering the door, I saw the ostentatious red silk on the plaque.When I entered the door, I was faced with faces full of joy.

Si Nan smiled immediately, "Okay, I'm in this spirit every day, don't worry about our shop being unpopular."

Yu Sanniang whispered: "One, two, three—"

The employees bowed in unison: "Welcome the boss home!"

Sinan's eyes turned hot, and he wanted to cry a little, "Everyone has a bonus, it's been a hard time."

The employees bowed again, "We don't work hard, the owner works the hardest!"

Si Nan waved his hand, "Okay, okay, it's fake if you want to be sensational again!"

Everyone laughed together.

Some customers who came early could not stop nodding when they saw the equal and harmonious atmosphere between Sinan and the clerk.

No wonder people can make a lot of money!

The employees regard the hot pot restaurant as their home and regard the business in the store as their own business, so they will naturally do their best.

It's almost Chinese New Year, and Sinan decided to hold a promotional event.The slogan followed his usual style, sand sculpture and funny.

"My boss is back!"

"Jump off the building and save!"

"Earn a dowry for my master!"

——Sinan swears, he didn't write the last sentence!

In the early morning, he picked out the display boards one by one, and changed "dowry" to "betrothal gift" in a daze.

Tang Xuan stood beside him with his arms folded, smiling without saying a word.

Only a real little daughter-in-law would care so much about marriage.

Since there is going to be an event, new dishes are naturally indispensable. Si Nan ordered two dishes, the sauce bone pot and the donkey meat pot.The pasta adds shaved noodles.

Sliced ​​noodles can be added with a performance link. The noodle-sliced ​​master walks into the private room of the guests and performs "sliced ​​noodles with a sharp knife" on the spot.

Therefore, when the recruitment notice was posted, in addition to looking for a cook who can make sauce and big bones, an additional position was added: noodle slicer.

Remarks: Can't teach.

When Yu Erniang saw the notice, she couldn't help being moved.

She didn't have that kind of self-confidence, guessing that Sinan would write this notice specially for her, she just thought it was a coincidence, a chance given to her by God.

Growing up so big, she never decided anything for herself, it was all arranged by the Hu family, or she did it with the aunt Sanniang.

For the first time, she made the choice alone.

I can't help but think of many things. My parents value sons over daughters. The most inconspicuous existence among the three sisters is often scolded by Mrs. Hu as "soft like rotten meat, and I can't kill an ant with three feet"...

For her, these memories are dark and numb, and she doesn't feel sad or sad, she is used to it.

The only bright spot is the first time I went to Si's Restaurant, I saw the chef stir-fry the meat with taro and water celery, poured the sauce, and suddenly changed the color.

Very rich, beautiful gold.

Not knowing where the courage came from, she told Yue Linglong that she wanted to learn how to cook.

Such a dazzling person patted her shoulder with a smile, and said in a light and hearty tone: "Then learn."

Yu Erniang closed her eyes and made a decision.

Hot pot restaurant.

Si Nan was writing invitations behind the counter, when he saw Yu Erniang stepping in, before she could speak, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, you've been hired."

Yu Erniang couldn't help being stunned, unable to believe it.

Si Nan patted Erniang on the shoulder like his mother did back then, and said briskly and heartily: "Second sister's soy sauce bones are very delicious, and your skill is hard to find even with a lantern. Since you came in, I will definitely not let you go." reason to go out."

Yu Sanniang rushed over at once, "Second sister, agree quickly! Didn't you always want to be a chef? Brother Dalang asked you to be in charge of the bone pot, and the salary is more than me!"

"I, I... I promise, Brother Xie Nan, thank you..." Yu Erniang burst into tears.

Si Nan hated girls crying the most, coughed lightly, and made a little joke, "Pay attention, it's officially called 'sauce meat hot pot', not 'bone pot', it's scary to death!"

Yu Sanniang gave a snort and laughed.

The guests in the hall also laughed.

Someone joked at the top of their voices: "Si Xiaodong, order a copy of 'Bone Pot', no matter who it is, as long as it's not this new chef, we're still waiting to try her craft!"

Yu Erniang smiled through tears.

After all these years of being locked up in Yu's small courtyard, she has never felt such kindness.
