I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

On the first day of opening, the officials of the Imperial City Department came to join us!

A plaque bestowed by the government!

The best hot pot restaurant in the world!

You said this ostentation!

Neighbors came to watch curiously, just like a dream.

Wasn't it just a dream? When I woke up, there was a strange shop in front of my house. They used strange pots and ate food that they had never seen before. All the tall and mighty men came in and out... …

Is this a shop run by gods?

Sinan hung up a large homemade banner, beat a snare drum, and happily advertised——

"Si's Hot Pot Restaurant will open tomorrow to welcome customers!"

"For family dinners, friends gatherings, and personal improvement of life, come to Si's Hot Pot Restaurant!"

"Small hot pot, copper hot pot, and self-shabu hot pot are all available!"

"Great rewards for opening in May, every purchase in the store will be given as a gift! If you spend more than [-] cash, you will get a [-]% discount coupon! Recharge your membership card and enjoy [-]% off when you enter the store..."

After an introduction, the people in Yutang Lane were fooled.

The Immortal Shop is worthy of being an Immortal Shop, why are there so many tricks?

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the customers in the store today, Si's Hot Pot Restaurant has also had a good start.

——The king of Yan Jun sits in the town, and his followers support him. No matter how good or bad this shop is, who would dare to make trouble?

Not to mention making trouble, thieves have to stay far away.

Unless you are not afraid of King Yan's black iron bow.

Through the great efforts of storytellers in Wasi, Tang Xuan's prestige is known even to the Xia people in the northwest.After inquiring again, it turned out to be a descendant of General Tang!

Xia Guoren immediately suppressed the dishonest hooves.

On the first day of opening, no outsiders are accepted, only relatives and friends are invited to try something new.

The folks in Cuijiazhai and the neighbors in Chatang Lane didn't have time to inform. There were only a few relatives in the store, and two tables were full.

Si Nan was busy working inside and out, garnishing dishes, making dipping sauces, adding soup bases, and by the way, taking the time to teach them how to eat, his white and tender face was stained with fine sweat.

After seeing the details of the official's personal information, Si Nan hurriedly got up and went to help him fill it.

Tang Xuan pressed his hand, "It's good to sit down and eat with peace of mind, he has hands."

After speaking, he glanced at the opposite side lightly.

Everyone subconsciously raised their chests and raised their heads, their backs straightened.

It wasn't until Tang Xuan looked away that the brothers quietly looked at his hand pressing Sinan.

Did you touch it for a long time?

It's been a long time indeed.

Tang Xuan couldn't bear to let go.

In the past, the two also tugged their sleeves and pinched their fingers, but they didn't walk from the store with their fingers interlocked like yesterday.

Ever since yesterday's episode, Tang Xuan seemed to be in a hurry, grabbing Si Nan's hand and wanting to hold it.

Si Nan had a big heart, he couldn't understand Tang Xuan's complicated inner world at all, instead he withdrew his hand and pointed at the small food table with a smile.

"The sesame oil, vinegar and garlic are all over there, if you want to eat more, you can add more salt and cornel powder."

"Okay, okay, I'll do it myself, don't bother brother Si." The officer-in-law smiled and hurried away.

If you dawdle for a while, you will be killed by Tang Xuan's eyes.

There was a person at the table who had been silent since entering the door.

Si Nan asked quietly just now, this person is Zhong Jiang who was cut off by the thief in Wuyou Cave.

Zhong Jiang was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a slightly elongated face. At first glance, he looks decent, but not too majestic, so it is easy to make people feel good.

Si Nan unobtrusively pushed the green bamboo shoots and pork belly towards him, and put the mutton, fish and shrimp on the other side.

The wound on his hand hasn't healed yet, so it's not suitable to eat this kind of hair.

He did it secretly, but Zhong Jiang noticed it carefully, and smiled kindly, "Thank you, Brother Si."

Si Nan smiled and waved his hands.

In fact, everyone has deliberately avoided this matter since they met.

Zhong Jiang injured his hand and couldn't use a knife or draw a bow. Huangcheng Secretary must not be able to stay any longer.Everyone deliberately didn't mention it, in the final analysis, they were afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.

However, such a deliberate performance made Zhong Jiang a little embarrassed.

Now that someone started the conversation, the topic naturally moved to the past: "Have you thought about it, do you want to go to the Yumajian or the prison camp?"

Zhong Jiang smiled and said: "Yu Ma Jian, the prison camp is in the north, and you can only come back once a month or two. My mother is worried."

The colleague winked, "Is it the aunt who is worried, or the wife who is worried?"

"Brothers, stop making fun of me."

Zhong Jiang waved his hand, drank a glass of wine, filled it again, and turned to Tang Xuan, "Thank you for the wine from brother Si, if you didn't fight for it in front of the official, I...wouldn't have such a situation future."

Tang Xuan pursed his lips, picked up the wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.

Zhong Jiang smiled and drank too.

The pro-obedient officials were not very happy.

From being accompanied by the emperor who everyone envied, to the horse prison where the old eunuchs grind their days, who would think this is a "future"?

However, everyone knew in their hearts that given Zhong Jiang's situation, the job of the Yumajian was already the highest rank and the best salary, which was enough for him to support his family.

Everyone took a sip of mulled wine in silence.Someone patted Zhong Jiang on the shoulder, and said with a little drunkenness: "When you go there, don't be as stupid as before. You will take on all the dirty and thankless work."

Zhong Jiang smiled and nodded, "Brother Yan, don't worry, the boss said, I will be the chief officer when I go, and those who feed the horses, cut grass, and move the fodder are not my turn."

The other party gave him a blank look, "I don't know you yet? Speak hard, when you see the old and the young in the prison, can you resist rolling up your sleeves and doing it?"

Zhong Jiang scratched his head in embarrassment.

I really can't help it.

Seeing his smile, Si Nan felt a little uncomfortable.

Tang Xuan talked about Zhong Jiang's life experience.

Born in a peasant family in the suburbs of Beijing, his father died early. There was one brother and one brother in the family. His mother and brothers worked greedily from morning to night for him to study and practice martial arts.

The Great Song Dynasty followed the officials personally, and most of them were selected from the children of the officials. If the common people wanted to be among them, they needed to work ten times or a hundred times harder than the officials. They must not only be good enough, but also lucky enough.

I'm afraid it's even harder than a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

Zhong Jiang is the pride of the whole village.

At the young age, just married, when he was the most energetic in his life, his future was ruined because of sympathy for a little thief with ulterior motives.

Si Nan looked into his eyes, there was loss and fatigue, but no resentment or haze.

It's rare.

Seeing the silence during the banquet, Zhong Jiang took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere, "My mother said, the big deal is to go home to farm and give birth to a baby. In the future, let the baby go to the academy like me, take the martial arts exam, and enter the Imperial City Division. Please take care of me, uncles."

Everyone laughed, "Just don't be as stupid as you are!"

Zhong Jiang grinned, "If I'm not stupid, can the boss promote me to the Imperial City Division?"

He didn't know Tang Xuan that year in the martial arts examination, he just looked at those officials' children standing far away without even looking at him, thinking that Tang Xuan was isolated, so he went up to talk enthusiastically and righteously.

Only later did he know that he was the adopted son of the official family and the leader of the martial arts.

Who dares to isolate him?

That's scary!

Si Nan poked Tang Xuan, "Is the salary of the Imperial Horse Supervisor high?"

"Ten guan a month, plus money for tea soup, travel expenses, and clothes for the four seasons." Compared with a close official, the difference is more than ten times.

Ten guan is not a small amount for ordinary people, but as an official in the Yamen, during the New Year's festival, weddings and gifts, and up and down management, this little copper coin will be gone without a sound.

The most important thing is to be aggrieved.

People have stayed in that kind of old-age government office for a long time, what kind of spirit, fighting spirit, all have to be worn out.

Otherwise, Zhong Jiang's mother would not have told him to go home and farm.

Sinan conjured up a "recruitment notice", "Delivery delivery staff, do you know?"

Zhong Jiang was taken aback, "What does this mean?"

"Delivering food! Someone ordered a small hot pot, and the delivery guy will deliver it. Of course, if you are willing to come, you have to be a team leader." Sinan said jokingly.

The life of the people in Bianjing is regular, and the time for three meals is fixed. When the bell of Daxiangguo Temple rings, the people's homes follow suit.

Most of the takeaway meals are delivered at this time, so that Zhong Jiang will not delay the work of the Yuma Supervisor, and can get an extra income.

Simon's original intention was to help him.

It's just that he still didn't think about it comprehensively enough.

He himself thinks that there is no difference between a delivery worker and a civil servant, but others may not necessarily think so, especially in ancient times where the concept of hierarchy is very heavy.

As an official in the court, even a small imperial horse supervisor and supervisor, in their eyes, is several times higher than a rich and wealthy businessman, let alone just a "delivery guy" who doesn't know what he is.

For a moment, the expressions of the pro-obedient officials were a little subtle.

But if another person said this, the brothers would probably copy the guy and beat him up—isn't this insulting?

Seeing everyone's reaction, Sinan came back to his senses, quickly laughed, and said sincerely: "I was offended because of my lack of consideration. Well, Brother Zhong, don't mind, I will punish myself with a cup."

Zhong Jiang blocked it for a while, took away the "recruitment notice", and changed his address by the way: "Thank you, Brother Nan, I'll go home and discuss it."

"Okay, okay, don't worry!" Even though he knew it was a polite word, Sinan was very grateful.

What a generous and gentle man.

Ugh!

Zhong Jiang smiled, folded up the recruitment notice, and put it in his sleeve properly.

Si Nan smiled, raised the glass of apology wine, and drank it down in one gulp.

Zhong Jiang replaced the tea with wine and drank it too.

Let's have a drink together.

It's already past noon when we are full of wine and food.

After drinking the last "seeing off soup", the officials got up and said goodbye.

Tang Xuan said lightly: "Just leave like this?"

Everyone was taken aback, no, what else?

Tang Xuan glanced at the cups, plates and dishes on the table.

Zhong Jiang was the first to react, and hurriedly said: "Then what, Brother Nan's hot pot is too delicious, I'm full, come here, put away the bowls and chopsticks, and do some activities."

"Oh! Yes, I'm full, let's move around."

The relatives and officials hurriedly cleaned up, not only cleaned up, but also took it to the back kitchen to wash.

This is the first time I have entered the kitchen when I grow up so big!

Sinan is in a hurry, how can anyone let the guests wash the dishes?

Tang Xuan was very calm, and pulled him to the backyard, "I have something for you."

Si Nan folded his eyes and folded his arms, showing no sign of gratitude, "If you pick a star and moon for me today, I will remember you forever!"

Tang Xuan paused when he took out his things, and said with a smile: "Then you should remember me forever."

Si Nan kicked him, "I said 'resentment', not 'remember'!"

Tang Xuan grabbed his hand and put a piece of paper in his palm.

Si Nan was slightly taken aback, "House deed?"

Then there was a great shock, "Mine?!"

Tang Xuan actually transferred this shop to him without saying a word!

Si Nan raised his chin and looked at him, "Why don't I remember when I gave you money?"

"No money, just a congratulatory gift for you." Tang Xuan curled his lips slightly, "Didn't you say that you would invite me to eat hot pot for free for the rest of my life?"

"Even if you eat it every day, it's not so expensive."

This is Bianjing City, a golden location next to Daxiangguo Temple!Where can we afford a pavement without several generations of business?

Look at those officials from other places, even if they have been officials in Beijing for more than ten years, they may not be able to earn a set of money.

"No, no, I can't accept such an expensive gift."

While speaking, Sinan quickly folded the house deed, put it in his purse, and patted it with satisfaction.

A smile appeared in Tang Xuan's eyes.

He recognized that the purse was brought by Sinan. In addition to the house deed just put in it, there was also the jade pendant he won from him, and three copper coins, which were also given by him.

No, in the last competition with petioles, Sinan won another one, now there are four.

Sinan grinned brightly, "You see, I don't intend to take it, you insisted on giving it to me."

"Well, I gave it to you, and I put it in your purse. You are not allowed to take it out. If you dare to take it, just..."

"So what?"

Originally, I wanted to say, just beat me up.

However, even if it is a joke, it is still reluctant.

So he changed his words: "I will punish you for holding my hand."

Fingers intertwined.
