I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

Simon was so happy!

Originally, the past few days after Qingming was not smooth for him, but when he saw Tang Xuan today, he immediately burst into laughter.

To be exact, he saw the tricycle brought by Tang Xuan.

In just a few days, the new tricycle was made.

The handle and body are still made of wood, but they are polished very smooth and painted with bright green paint; the frame, chains, bearings, and gears are all made of iron, handmade, but they fit seamlessly, and there is no flaw .

Si Nan generously praised the officials with a hundred sentences, such as "love the people like a son", "do what you say", "don't take the people's needles and threads"...

Tang Xuan couldn't listen anymore, and said lightly: "No matter how much you say, I won't convey it."

Si Nan chuckled, "No need, I have all the admiration for the official family in my heart, even if the old man doesn't know, I won't change my mind!"

Tang Xuan laughed, "You really..."

Why is it always so funny?

Sinan rode a brand new small tricycle and walked around the yard several times.

The official family is too good!

I asked for his drawings, and I didn't forget to send him a car!

What did Tang Xuan say?

The craftsmen groped and experimented day and night, and finally made a real tricycle. The first one was dedicated to the official, and the second one was sent to him.

This is the Song version of Rolls-Royce!

The small yard is not suitable, and you have to run into the alley to ride.

Liu was surprised and said: "Brother Nan, is there something different about this car? Why does it look more stylish?"

With a squeak, Si Nan applied the "foot brake", "Auntie, take a closer look, what's the difference?"

Mrs. Liu leaned over and murmured in amazement: "There are two more pedals, so you don't have to step on the ground... Eh? If you don't step on the ground, how can you run forward by yourself? Could it be because of this long yo Iron circle?"

Sinan gave a thumbs up, "Auntie, you are so capable, you can see the key at a glance. This iron ring is a chain, buckled on the gear, and when the pedal is stepped forward, it can carry three The wheels go forward."

Mrs. Liu was so amused that her face was full of smiles, and the neighbors all sighed: "God, what kind of fairy object is this, we have opened our eyes!"

Everyone didn't ask where the car came from, they only thought it was newly made by Sinan, envious and at the same time had a higher evaluation of Sinan.

When I saw him gossip with San'er and his wife before, at most they felt that he was quick-spoken, but after watching him sell the small hot pot boomingly, everyone admired him from the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, the neighbors looked at Sinan even more eagerly.

No matter what era, no matter what field, only real skills can truly win the respect of others.

"Niuniu, come up, brother will take you for a walk." Si Nan waved to the little lady.

In front of all her friends, Niuniu proudly climbed onto the back of the car, her little hands softly grabbing Sinan's clothes.

"Brother Nan, let my Dahe sit down too!" The neighbor who spoke lived at the entrance of the alley and had always been close to the Hu family. He was provoked by the Hu family a few days ago and told his children not to play with Erlang.

Si Nan smiled, "Come on, all of you."

The children cheered and ran over in fear.

Without Sinan's arrangement, Niu Niu took the responsibility.The master of the little lady is full of style, one by one instructing the little friends what to do, where to put their hands, and how to protect themselves when they run.

The new three wheels are so easy to ride, they bring a gust of wind when they run.The children were yelling from behind, while Si Nan was cheering from the front, and even played tricks on purpose, making the little ones amazed again and again.

Si Nan laughed louder than the children.

He was having fun in the alley, and Tang Xuan was watching at the door, neither approaching nor stopping him.It's just that a pair of eyes are always on him, and if there is an accident, he will definitely rush over immediately.

It wasn't until Sinan was enjoying himself that he squeaked and stopped beside him, "Huh? You haven't left yet?"

Tang Xuan: ...

"I'm sorry, I'm so excited, I forgot about you." Sinan hurriedly dragged him into the yard, "It just so happens that I don't have a stall today, how about I treat you to dinner?"

Tang Xuan: "No..."

Si Nan said quickly: "We make it ourselves, the taste will definitely be as good as the ones outside."

It was obvious that he should return to the palace to return to his life, but seeing the dots of expectation in the young man's eyes, Tang Xuan nodded unexpectedly.

This was the first time he was a guest at a friend's house so casually. There was no greeting card, no maidservants, no drinking and drinking. There was only a smiling young gentleman busy in front of the stove.

The hearth of Sinan's family was built in the yard, covered with a thatched shed.Originally, the furnishings were very simple, with only two stoves and two pots. These days, Si Nan added little by little, and the small thatched shed gradually became fuller.

There is an extra row of shelves against the wall, where rice noodles, grains, oils, and vegetable seasonings are placed.There is a cupboard next to it, with a bowl and chopsticks casserole underneath, and a large chopping board above, which is most suitable for making large quantities of pasta.

Si Nan adhered to the modern habits, the red case and the white case were separated, and the jujube stakes for meat cutting were scalded with boiling water before and after use.

To cook food, this is the most basic conscience.

Tang Xuan folded his arms and leaned against the trunk of the jujube tree, looked around the yard, and finally fell back on Sinan.

The busy little man is like a little spinning top, and an orderly spinning top at that.

He can cook two pots at the same time, boil vegetables in one, boil pepper oil in the other, and mix the minced meat in his spare time. The nimble little figure turns around and can always arrange every step.

Tang Xuan had never been in the kitchen, but occasionally saw the cooks in Fengyi Building, all of them were slovenly and oil-stained, including those small foot shops, if he went to the back kitchen to take a look, he probably didn't want to eat.

Looking at Si Nan now, I don't know how to cook like this...

Pleasant to the eye.

When the wontons were out of the pot, Sinan turned around and smiled, "Brother, don't just stand there, wash your hands and eat!"

Tang Xuan's heart trembled for no reason.

He has lived in the palace since he was a child, even though the officials treat him like his own son, he always feels that there is nothing left.

Brother Thirteen said it was because it didn't feel like home.

What is home like, he asked.He lost his home when he was four years old, and he has long since forgotten what his parents looked like.

Brother Thirteen said that there will be a person sleeping beside you. When you have a nightmare, you will not be afraid if you talk to him; Oil and water dripping on the table...

At that time, Tang Xuan felt that there would be no such a person, because he was not afraid of having nightmares, and he would not drip oil on the table.

At this moment, I suddenly had a different idea.

He likes the way Mr. Xiao Lang asked him to wash his hands and eat.

Today's weather is very good, the sunset has dyed half of the sky red, and the gentle warm wind makes people's hearts itch slightly, just like they met for the first time.

"Let's eat in the yard!" Sinan suggested cheerfully.

Tang Xuan nodded, "Okay."

In the following years, no matter what Si Nan said, Tang Xuan loved to reply with the word "good", probably it was a habit formed from this time!

Even the small act of serving the food on the table was done by Si Nan, Tang Xuan found it very interesting.

He would trot all the way to bring the plate over, throw it on the stone table with a ding, and then jump up on the spot, pinching his ears while inhaling, "Hot, hot!"

It was originally intended to help him, but in order to read it a few more times, Tang Xuan held back in a daze.

The food is ready.

Stir-fried fresh bamboo shoots with bacon, sweet and sour balls, fried bones with noodles, vegetarian steamed duck, and gourd mixed with garlic.

Tang Xuan is a meat lover, and Sinan noticed it early on, so he cooks a lot of meat. Even the bowl of small ravioli sprinkled with chopped green onions is made of fungus, eggs, and shrimp.

"Eat quickly!" Si Nan stuffed the chopsticks into Tang Xuan's hands, and pushed the small bowl over.

The tableware in his house is very simple, all made of white porcelain, unlike the gold and silver utensils used in the palace or the county prince's mansion.Tang Xuan felt that this table of dishes made him look forward to more than any banquet he had eaten.

He scooped up a fat little wonton with a small white porcelain spoon, took a bite, the fresh juice invaded his lips and tongue, and his mouth was full of fragrance.

The boy on the opposite side had burning eyes, "How is it? Is it delicious? Tell me quickly, I'm waiting for your evaluation!"

Tang Xuan laughed, "It's delicious."

After a pause, he emphasized again: "It's delicious."

Sinan raised his eyebrows immediately, and talked endlessly: "You can eat as long as you think it is delicious. I was afraid that the shrimps now are not as delicious and tender as autumn, and they are not easy to eat! I didn't want to buy them at first, but I happened to meet a mother-in-law who sold shrimps this morning. , it seemed that I was in a hurry to make a move, and the sale was cheap, so I bought it all..."

"Gudong" took a sip of the soup and continued, "Peel a few today, and keep the rest in the water first. In a couple of days, I will make three fresh shrimp dumplings for the children. They will definitely like them."

"Did you do it?" Tang Xuan asked.

"What?"

"Dumplings."

Sinan couldn't help laughing, "Do you want to eat?"

Tang Xuan nodded frankly.

Sinan glanced at the sky, "It's not going to work today, let's go to another day, and I'll take it to Zhouqiao for you when it's done."

"Yeah." Tang Xuan continued to eat wontons.

Si Nan gave him cloth dishes with serving chopsticks, a small sweet and sour ball on the left, and a crispy bone fried in powder on the right. He was very enthusiastic.

What did he put in, what did Tang Xuan eat, including the bacon that he didn't like very much.

In addition to eating, Tang Xuan would pick up the serving chopsticks from time to time, pick some soft and tender crispy meat or gourd shreds and put them in Sinan's bowl.

Sinan would always happily eat it in one bite.

One of the two was slow, the other devoured, the other was handsome and elegant, and the other smiled warmly. Sitting at the same table and eating together, they seemed surprisingly harmonious.

After eating for a while, Sinan came back to his senses, "That's not right, you come to my house for dinner, it's not enough to have a meal, you have to let me have a meal, what's the reason for that?"

Tang Xuan hooked his lips, and his deep starry eyes showed a smile.

goo-dong-

Si Nan swallowed a small wonton.

All right, let's just have a smooth meal, who told you that you look good!

He didn't know how pleasing he was in the eyes of others, with puffy cheeks and eyes that seemed to be inhabited by a family of stars.

Before leaving, Tang Xuan gave him a lacquered wooden box.

Sinan opened it, and the Xingxing family in his eyes suddenly had a new member.

Silver!

Good ~ many ~ silver!

Sinan stretched out his white and tender fingers and poked them one by one, each one was hard and slippery, so cute!

"Not much, only 100 taels, which came from the government's private treasury."

"That's a lot." Sinan grinned, showing a mouthful of small white teeth.

Who would think too little money picked up for nothing!

Seeing him happy, Tang Xuan also smiled, "You can rent the shop you saw."

Si Nan paused with a smile, "That...let's talk about it!"

Recently, something went wrong at the state bridge, and he didn't dare to spend money recklessly.

He hit the hammer that day, and then the hammer's revenge came.

The Goulan and tile shops on both sides of the Zhouqiao are controlled by Hammer—not for business, but for the control of gangsters and thieves not to go in and make trouble.

The hammer said that anyone in the tile, no matter the spectator or the trickster, is not allowed to buy Sinan's small hot pot, otherwise they will look good on them.

In order to protect themselves, everyone can only obey.Therefore, Sinan didn't sell many copies for several days.

Coincidentally, he wanted to transfer Erlang to a large academy that could teach riding and archery. Tuition, accommodation, and books were all money. Those he had saved earlier, together with the 100 taels of silver, could not be easily moved.

Even if there were difficulties, Si Nan didn't show it on his face, instead he said with a smile: "There is no rush for the shop, the original plan is to rent at the end of the year, when the tenants outside Beijing will go back to their hometown for the New Year, the rent can be cheaper. "

Tang Xuan saw something strange, but didn't say much, just wrote it down silently.

He was swaggering his majestic hammer in Wuyoudong, but he didn't know that his unlucky day was just around the corner.
