I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

Ruoshui Academy has strict management, and parents are not allowed to come in and out at will, especially those like Si Nan who come every two days, who have long been blacklisted.

The gatekeeper saw him from afar and closed the gate with a bang.

Huai Shu looked embarrassed, "Master, what should we do?"

It's not a big deal, it's just... embarrassing.

Sinan shook his head gracefully, "A mere setback will not trouble your Brother Nan."

He had already memorized Erlang's class timetable, and thought, now he is taking riding and archery lessons.

Si Nan rode a small tricycle and led the cubs straight to the east wall.

Inside the east wall is the racecourse. A part of the wall was washed away by the storm and has not been repaired. It is only surrounded by wooden fences. Sinan happened to take advantage of the loophole.

He stopped the tricycle and looked in through the fence.The children followed suit, one by one standing on tiptoe, holding on to the wooden bar.

On the huge racecourse, the students stood together in piles, some were riding slowly, some were clumsy practicing arrows, and some were following the instructor standing in front of the stables to learn about horses.

Among them, the most conspicuous one was a five or six-year-old young gentleman, not big in stature, but with a clean and neat posture of drawing the bow and setting the arrow, he shot an arrow straight into the bull's-eye.

The instructor said hello.

Several young gentlemen nearby cheered and surrounded him.

It can be seen that this young gentleman is not only good at archery, but also very popular.

The little guys were wearing square scarves and blue and white school uniforms, and it was hard to tell who was who from behind.

Si Nan sighed, "If someone raises such a child, go and laugh!"

The little man who was shooting the arrow just turned his head, revealing a familiar face.

Huai Shu said in surprise, "It's Erlang!"

Sinan was immediately happy, "Tell me, it's impossible to keep a low profile."

The big clock of the academy struck three times, and it was time for a break.

The students did not run away in all directions, but quickly gathered together and stood in formation.

The instructor slapped three times, and the students all bowed down to salute, and then went to play separately after it was over.

Erlang was surrounded by a group of young gentlemen, and did not see Sinan.

Si Nan gave the little guys a wink, "One or two—"

"Si—Jia—" the little guys shouted in unison.

The loud, small voice spread throughout the training ground.Everyone looked over at the same time.

Erlang turned his head suspiciously, his eyes lit up when he saw the familiar family members.

"My brother see I'm coming!"

"There are also brothers and sisters!"

Even though he was very excited, the little guy politely told the instructor for a leave of absence, and then ran over erratically.

The young gentlemen looked at his happy back and were very envious.

From a worldly point of view, the Si family has the most money and status. If it weren't for the guarantee of the teacher from Yixin School, Erlang would not be able to enter Ruoshui Academy at all.

However, among the more than 200 students in the academy, only Erlang's family members would come to visit him from time to time. Every time he came, there would be plenty of snacks to eat. Regardless of whether he studied well or not, he would be praised.

I don't know how many students are secretly thinking that they would rather have a brother like Sinan than the kind of father and brother who are too busy to see each other every day.

Erlang ran over on his legs, originally running very fast, but deliberately slowed down when he got close, his small face tensed up, trying to look like he didn't care.

"Shouldn't you come tomorrow? Why did you come here today? Shouldn't you be setting up a stall at this hour? Are you being lazy again?"

Si Nan pinched his little round face, "Stinky boy, how about acting with your brother? If you really don't want me to come, don't turn your mouth so high!"

"I'm old enough, don't pinch my face... my classmates and classmates are watching!" Erlang didn't hold back, and grinned, "Brother Huaishu, little wood, little eggplant, little mantou, little dog, Dongzao, boy, are you here too?"

The little ones nodded and replied timidly: "I'm not going out of the stall today, brother master brought us here to see Erlang."

"Good brother, you are loyal enough." Erlang patted the cub on the shoulder like a little adult across the fence.

Si Nan almost laughed.

This kid, when he went back to school, what did he learn?

The children adored it.

When they saw Erlang in school uniform for the first time, they couldn't tell what was different, but they thought it was amazing.

Complex emotions flashed in Huai Shu's eyes.

Back then, when his biological father was still there, he said that when he grew up, he would be sent to Ruoshui Academy to study.

He knew that the children born to his mother and stepfather were studying in this academy, and maybe he was watching from a distance not far away at this moment, looking at himself... so unbearable.

Si Nan saw the expressions on the children's faces one by one.

While cooking a small hot pot for Erlang, he said seemingly unintentionally: "You know about Wuyou Cave, right? From now on, the pagoda trees will be our children. Let's take them here today, and tomorrow I will go to the mountain Long said, let them study with you."

Erlang's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Si Nan smiled, "It's fake, it lied to you."

"No, it must be true!" Erlang happily grabbed Huai's sleeve, "Brother Huaishu, what Brother Smelly said is true, isn't it?"

The locust tree was dumbfounded.

The kids are silly.

Just now, on the way here, they were still worried about whether Brother Master would support them, but now... Brother Master said they were "our children" and said that they would be sent to study here...

Is that what they mean?

Did you hear me right?

Actually, to make this decision, Sinan was a little impulsive, but at the same time very firm.

It's not that I never thought about sending the children to the shantang after the matter in Wuyoudong was resolved.These days, he has been asking Tang Xuan to find out which shantang is reliable.

However, just now, when he saw the eyes of the children who were clearly yearning but did not dare to show it, he made a decision instantly.

Just keep it!

He will not feel relieved to send it to others, and he is also reluctant.The shantang will not let the children go to Ruoshui Academy, let alone teach them riding and archery.

They are all such good and good kids, and he doesn't want them to become little boys and slaves because they don't get a good education.

It's not that the buddies are not good, and being slaves is worthless, but that they can't be forced to spend their lives just because they don't have the right and qualification to choose.

Some people may think that this approach is too ideal, and he may not be able to shoulder this responsibility.Simon originally thought so too.

However, at that moment just now, he suddenly figured it out.

He will travel through time and come to this parallel world of Song Dynasty, which is already an idealization of idealization, so what does it matter if it is more ideal?

If it is said that Erlang needs to sell [-] copies of small hot pot for him to study alone, then he will work harder in the future, selling [-] copies, [-] copies, [-] copies...

Just do it!

He believes that God will not treat those who work hard sincerely.

Si Nan blinked at the boys, "Brother has made a decision, don't refuse."

Huai Shu opened his mouth, only a breath sound came out of his throat.

Reluctant, reluctant to refuse at all.

He clearly knew that this would drag Sinan down, but this time, his "selfishness" overcame his reason.

Er Dou, who is normally naive, was the first to stand up and said loudly: "I don't study, I will give you a small hot pot, and I will give you a lot of copies. Let Brother Huaishu learn martial arts and let the younger brothers study!"

"Me, me too."

"Don't study, make money."

"Little cub, little cub can burn fire..."

The children were flustered and excited, unable to utter a complete sentence, but tried to nod their heads, expressing the same meaning.

"Success, make money together, make a lot of money." Sinan didn't refute their kindness, and rewarded each of them with a bowl of small hot pot.

Erlang straddled his horse and squatted inside the fence, and the children sat cross-legged outside the fence, forming a perfect circle like at home.

Everyone was very excited, even the favorite small hot pot could not taste the taste.

The fragrance attracted several young gentlemen, who looked this way reservedly and longingly.

Finally, someone couldn't stand it any longer and asked with a blushing face, "Si Jia, do you sell hot pot?"

Erlang didn't answer immediately, but instead asked: "Brother, are there enough ingredients? I want to treat them to eat."

Erlang was not a kid who was lavish and wanted to save face. The reason why he dared to make such a request was because Si Nan had developed the habit of judging, choosing, and making decisions by himself.

Those young gentlemen are his best friends, and they help each other a lot on weekdays, and he doesn't want to take their money.

Sinan lifted the car, "Brother brought all the pots, do you think it's enough?"

Erlang's eyes lit up, he put down the small bowl, and saluted decently, "Thank you for your hard work, brother."

Si Nan cut out: "Don't come here with these vain people, hurry up, call someone over, and start eating."

"okay!"

Erlang beckoned, and the young gentlemen ran over happily, calling Simon "Brother" sweetly, without seeming polite at all.

Looking at the confident and flamboyant little faces, Sinan couldn't help feeling sorry for his own children.

It must be taken care of!

Just run for this fat and thick-skinned appearance!

The small hot pot was cooked quickly, and Sinan filled it in a small anti-scald wooden bowl and handed it in through the fence.

Most of these young gentlemen were from wealthy families, and this was the first time they ate with a bowl of rice on the floor.Because there are so many people, it feels very fresh.

For a while, all the rules were thrown away, and the little guys ate and complained like little adults——

"Brother Nan, you don't know that the lunch at noon is all overcooked, there's not even oil or water in the dishes, and the spoon for cooking is still shaking."

"Just now the instructor said how much is a bundle of horse feed? Thirty cents, right? Our meal is more expensive than that, and the food is not as good as the horse!"

"I pay so much for meals every ten days, why is it still not good to eat? Brother Nan, your little hot pot is so delicious, does it cost a lot of money for a bowl?"

Si Nan smiled and said nothing.

The children are young and don't understand the twists and turns, but he does.Either the steward of the academy colluded with the cook and was greedy for the money for the meal, or the cook has a backer and cannot be dismissed even if the cooking is unpalatable.

It's just that there is no need to tell the children about this, so as not to pollute these little flowers of Song Dynasty.

He added a spoonful to each of the little guys, and joked: "Isn't it true that what you eat now is money, a piece of gold for a bite of meatballs, and a piece of silver for a piece of meat."

"What about this green vegetable?"

"Biteful of copper coins."

"I want to eat gold!"

"I want to eat silver!"

"I, I'd better eat copper coins, don't make Brother Nan poor, I won't come back next time..."

The little guys laughed.

They didn't know that at this time the head of Ruoshui Academy and the two stewards were standing by the wall, listening to what they said clearly.

The faces of the three are not very good.

Especially Xu Daru, the head of the mountain.

Xu Daru had heard his wife mention Sinan earlier, and wanted to see his character. If there was no mistake, he would invite him to the academy to take charge of the cooking, but he hasn't taken the time recently.

I didn't expect to meet him on such an occasion today.

After the bell rang three times, the children quickly took off the last bite of meat, and ran back to the school field with puffy faces.

It wasn't until they ran away that Xu Daru came over with square steps.

Si Nan recognized him. Erlang's admission to school was all due to this upright and caring Confucian.

He stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Xu Daru waved his hand and said, "Brother, would you like to work in Ruoshui Academy?"

Simon: ...

Is it so straight to the point?

Xu Daru is not impulsive, he observed carefully just now, Sinan really treats the children well, speaks well, and sees that the students really like his food, so he made a decision.

Si Nan smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I'm used to being undisciplined, I'm afraid I won't be able to take on the heavy responsibility of your court."

As soon as the voice changed, he fought for himself again, "If it is just to provide food for the students, there is no need to come and do the work. The boy can do it every day and deliver it on time. Yixin Shushu is like this."

Before Xu Daru could speak, a steward next to him snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "How many people are there in Yixin Shushu? How big is Ruoshui Academy? Kid, can you do it?"

Si Nan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "This must be the steward of the stove, right?"

The other party was taken aback, "So what? Even if you recognize me, don't even try to get close to me. I won't do that!"

"No, I don't know you, just guessing."

"Oh?" Xu Daru was curious, "How did you guess?"

The second steward touched his nose, feeling hopeless.Here and again, the curiosity of the mountain chief was aroused again.

Si Nan glanced at Steward Yi, and said bluntly: "He has a quick temper and vulgar language, so he is not a gentleman of your courtyard. Since he is not a husband, and he can be with the head of the mountain, he is a steward."

"The steward of the academy doesn't know how many people are involved, why do you think it's from the stove?"

Si Nan smiled slightly, "Because he was in a hurry. Only the steward at the stove would be so anxious after hearing that I could deliver food."

Isn't this equivalent to cutting off his money!

Suddenly, Xu Daru glanced at the man without any trace.

"You—" the steward said angrily, with red ears red all over his face, "You don't want to work on the stove because you think the money is too low? To put it bluntly, it's just for money!"

Si Nan was not in a hurry, "I've heard a saying in the office - if you have a Buddha in your heart, you will see the Buddha; if you have shit in your heart, you will see shit - you are only looking for profit, so you think that others are also looking for profit."

As for Brother Nan, we both want money and morality.

Si Nan held his hand, "My boy, I heard that Mr. Xu was under the tutelage of Mr. Yan and admired Mr. Fan. He won the Jinshi examination but did not become an official. He only built Ruoshui Academy to benefit the sons of the common people."

The highest good is like water, water benefits all things without fighting.

This sentence was inscribed on the lintel by Mr. Fan Zhongyan himself.

"A person who is an official can plead for the people, a person who reads can benefit the people, why can't a person who is a businessman give back to the people?"

"Although I am not a rich and powerful businessman, I hope to let the people of Bianjing City have a warm meal with my own efforts."

——It's sensational, Brother Nan is sensational.

"I sell hot pot not only for money, but also to make people who eat this food have even a moment of pleasure."

——Exaggerated, exaggerated, this is what Nan Ge learned from the ancient farming novels, and he was probably also influenced by the hot-blooded Riman.

With a cheeky face, Si Nan continued, "There is nothing wrong with a businessman chasing profit. But, who said that while chasing profit, they cannot benefit the common people?"

——This sentence is sincere.

What he said was well-founded, neither humble nor overbearing, and calm.

The steward was tongue-tied and speechless.

The second steward looked at Sinan in surprise, his eyes eager.

The children admired it, but at the same time took it for granted.

My Brother Nan, that's how powerful he is!

Better than the teachers in the academy!

After Xu Daru was shocked, he said "Yes" three times, "It's really good! If a young man has such great ambitions, let alone you and me?"

The second manager came back to his senses, and quickly persuaded: "Shan Zhang, don't be impulsive."

Xu Daru waved his hand, "It's really a great fortune for me to hear this today, so why not be impulsive once?"

"Did you forget, you made a guarantee to Mr. Yan, if it doesn't taste good, the head of Ruoshui Academy won't do it."

Xu Daru frowned, "Don't curse me."

As soon as Si Nan heard that there was something interesting, he quickly said: "You can make a trial order for ten days first, and if the students are not satisfied, you won't be charged any money."

--That is impossible!

——Brother Nan made a move, how could he be dissatisfied?

"Okay!" Xu Daru immediately took out an ingot of silver, which was as much as twelve taels, "How can I take advantage of my brother when I teach and educate people? This is a deposit. After ten days, more will be refunded and less will be made up."

Modesty, evasion, not at all, Si Nan quickly stuffed the money into his arms, and simply said: "Thank you, Shan Zhang."

Xu Daru: ...

What happened to the sudden regret?

Simon was overjoyed.

Today must be his lucky day.

The full lucky value cannot be enjoyed by oneself alone, so I need to talk to my boyfriend.

Tang Xuan was assisting with official affairs in Kaifeng Mansion, and Si Nan was waiting for him at the gate of the yamen.The relatives and officials who came and went saw it and reported it to Tang Xuan.

Master Bao was pulling Tang Xuan to discuss the case, but Tang Xuan left him without hesitation and strode away.

Master Bao stared, "Which young lady from outside? Is it more fragrant than official business?"

The guard replied: "It's not the young lady, it's Mr. Si Lang, who sells hot pot on the Zhouqiao."

Small hot pot?

Bao Zheng ate it.

It is indeed... very fragrant.

Tang Xuan went out and went straight to Sinan.

Si Nan saw it from a distance, and a big smile hung on his face.

Tang Xuan's eyes softened involuntarily.

After reading the files for a day and interrogating the villains for a long time, I urgently need a bright and pleasant smile to wash my eyes.

"Brilliant and Keren" rushed over, chattering endlessly: "You didn't see that, today you really broke your Brother Nan! Xu Daru from Ruoshui Academy, you know? He was told by my three-inch tongue, and immediately pulled out Ten taels of silver, ordered three hundred small hot pots!"

Three hundred copies!

Three hundred copies per day is not only enough to raise children, but also rent a very good storefront.

Si Nan took out a small silver ingot and held it high in front of his eyes.

Tang Xuan hooked his lips, "Is ten taels so happy? I'll give you 100 taels."

"Can it be the same? I earned it myself, not someone gave it to me for nothing." Si Nan pouted, rubbing the silver ingot on Tang Xuan's sleeve lovingly.

The fine brocade immediately left two gray marks.

Tang Xuan squeezed his fingers, pretending he didn't see it.

"Can I rent a shop?"

Sinan was a little hesitant, "The money is enough, but I'm afraid it's not safe. If this thing doesn't work out, I'll have to eat dirt next month."

Tang Xuandao: "With a storefront, there will be more customers, and the arrangement of copper hot pots will also make more money, so it won't be a loss."

"It makes sense." Sinan chuckled, his heart moved, "Then... rent it?"

"Walk."

"Not now, the dental shops are closed."

"Someone opened it."

"How's that possible? You haven't seen it before. Those dental men are all so arrogant, and they look at people with their chins raised."

Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows, is there any?Very attentive?

Immediately afterwards, Sinan saw Yaren's hospitality.

Toothman's mood is not so beautiful.

It's coming again, it's coming again, the county king is here again.

Do you want to raise geese this time, or grow Chinese toon?

"Rent a shop." Tang Xuan put his hands behind his back and spoke concisely.

Yaren glanced at Si Nan, as if he had learned mind-reading skills, and presented the house deed, "Brother Si wants to rent it? Annual rent, monthly rent, or free rent?"

Si Nan smiled, "Free rental? Is there such a good thing?"

Others don't have it, but you have it.

The tooth man complained silently.

Sinan glanced at the house deed and paused, "Tang Xuan? Is this name so popular? How can you meet people with the same name and surname when renting a shop?"

Yaren glanced at Tang Xuan, with his head bowed down, as if he didn't exist.

Tang Xuan coughed lightly, his eyes fluttered, "It's me."

Si Nan didn't react for a moment, "What are you?"

The slender finger pointed at the deed, "This name is me."

Simon: ...

"Great feeling that this shop is yours? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"It wasn't mine earlier. I was afraid that others would rent it, so I bought it and kept it for you."

Simon: ...

Don't ask, just want to marry.
