I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

Tang Xuan likes men.

He knew it when he was 14.

After his birthday that year, the government arranged for him two "education aunts", but before the other's hand touched him, Tang Xuan vomited.

The officials thought he was young and hadn't enlightened yet, but Tang Xuan knew that he just didn't like that kind of body.

Later, I had a dream, all of which were training in the camp, blurry figures, no faces, only the same muscle lines as him, and fine beads of sweat.

After waking up, Tang Xuan vomited again.

Since then, I have rejected other people's touch, and actions such as patting the shoulder and putting hands together are unacceptable.

Si Nan was the first person who made him want to get close.

However, it is limited to this innocuous little intimacy.

He couldn't accept his "specialness", so how could he harm Sinan?

He knew that "Sinan" used to go in and out of Man Ting Fang, and got very close to Yu Meiren.In the past, he was the one who cared about the poppies, but now that the Si family has declined, the poppies are in turn taking care of his business.

This kind of friendship makes people pantothenic.

Not only Poppy, but also Dielianhua.

Tang Xuan saw Die Lianhua acting like a baby to Sinan with his own eyes, and Sinan affectionately called her "sister".

Therefore, Tang Xuan firmly believed that Si Nan liked women and would marry a woman in the future.

He didn't intend to stop it.

Not to force him.

He has seen those deeply affectionate people who swore to each other when they were young, but in the end they couldn't stand the eyes of the world.

There are also those who don't separate, but their feelings are not so serious. They go to Qin Muchu and form small groups, which is more advanced than keeping pets and prostitutes.

In contrast, he prefers to pamper him, protect him, and be his closest and most trusted "boyfriend" through this layer of window paper.

This is Tang Xuan, always sober and rational.

And, be hard on yourself.

Simon was also distracted.

He was thinking about how to return the courtesy.

It is impossible to ask for such a valuable house deed for nothing, "I will also give you a big gift, congratulations on your promotion."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper full of words and waved it in front of Tang Xuan's eyes.

Tang Xuan hooked his lips, "I have to see if it's 'big' enough."

Simon: ...

Is there a little train running past in a dirty way?

"Cultivation of fungus?" Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Aren't fungus born in the wild?"

"It can also be artificially cultivated, as long as the appropriate conditions are given and the optimal strains will grow better than those in the wild."

In fact, fungus had already been planted in the Song Dynasty, but most of them were concentrated in the southwest mountainous area, where the people in the mountains lived by it and did not want to spread it to the outside world.

In his sophomore year, Sinan was randomly assigned to the agronomy major because he didn't take the elective courses of his major because he played games, and followed the gray-haired old professor to the greenhouse for three months.

The old professor said at the time: "The things I teach you can't be learned by reading two pages of books and memorizing a few questions.

The old professor even took a special look at him, "For example, this young man has good facial features and sharp eyes. I can see that he has the potential to time travel."

At this moment, Sinan wished he could call the old professor—are you related to the Great God of Time Traveling?Otherwise, how can you say for sure?

Tang Xuan was looking at Fang Zi with a slightly dignified expression.

Si Nan took the opportunity to boast: "The advantage of growing fungus is that you don't need fertile land and flat land, just find a barren hill. If you do it right, you can harvest several stubbles a year. It is much more cost-effective than growing grain and fruit trees."

In this era, wild fungus is rare, and the market has been good. He originally wanted to grow it himself.

Si Xu bought hundreds of acres of barren hills in Cuijiazhai. Because of the low price, he didn't sell them out when his family had an accident, and it has been left unused until now.

Sinan thought about sawing some basswood and moving it to the mountain, burying fungus seeds, asking someone to look after them, harvesting a few crops a year, and if they sell well, they can earn a shop in a few years.

Tang Xuan thought about another thing.

Wuyou Cave was suppressed. In addition to the evil thieves, tens of thousands of homeless refugees were found, old and young, unable to serve or join the army. How to arrange these people is really a headache for the officials.

If you can find a place to plant hundreds of acres of fungus, you only need to water, pick and dry it every day, and the elderly and children can do it.

Tang Xuan's first reaction was to dedicate this prescription to the officials.However, when I saw the soft handwriting on it, I couldn't bear it.

It was written by the boy himself, and it was a congratulatory gift for him, so he should keep it for himself.

So, he folded it up lovingly and put it in his arms.

Si Nan raised his face and smiled, "My lord, can we discuss it?"

Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows, every time he yelled like this, he was asking for something.

"Go ahead."

"When you grow the fungus, can you sell it to me first?"

Tang Xuan said: "That depends on your performance."

"I must behave well! I will behave well now!" Sinan rushed over with a smile, squeezed his shoulders and thumped his back, which was very attentive.

Tang Xuan was dazed, the little face just now approached suddenly, he thought he was going to... kiss again.

In the back kitchen, the servants were struggling to wash the dishes.

"Jiangzi, why did you react so quickly? If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have known that the boss wanted us to do the dishes."

Zhong Jiang smiled, "The more you see, the quicker your reaction. The boss just now looks exactly like my brother."

"Is our brother also this powerful?"

"You can't compare with the boss. It was during that time that my sister-in-law was pregnant, and he felt distressed, so he was stricter with us."

Zhong Jiang sighed: "You haven't seen it before, that tone is exactly the same as when the boss was protecting Brother Nan when he was a child."

Everyone: ...

***

The day promised with Ruoshui Academy has arrived!

Food delivery is about to start!

There are [-] students in Ruoshui Academy, including not only four or five-year-old children, but also young people in their twenties. If a portion is easy to send, it is not only difficult to pack, but also difficult to determine the amount of food.

Si Nan thought of an idea, like the county prince's mansion, put the vegetables and rice in wooden barrels, transport them directly, and divide them over there.

There are ready-made bowls and chopsticks in the academy, and there are special handymen to clean up the students after eating, which greatly reduces Sinan's workload.

He sent a letter to Cuijiazhai early in the morning, and Cui Mumu worked overtime to make more than ten large wooden barrels and ten "takeaway carts".

The takeaway cart designed by Sinan is similar to modern bicycles. It still has no chains, only a pair of pedals are installed on the front wheels, and the front wheels lead the rear wheels to walk. Although it is more laborious, it is more convenient than running.

What's more, the young guys in the village have plenty of strength, and when they ride their cool bicycles, they are so beautiful that they almost fly into the sky.

Along the way, a dozen young and strong boys rushed forward like a gust of wind, and Cui Shi followed behind on an old tricycle, annoyed on the lips, but relieved in his heart.

In the past, Sijiazhai was the poorest village in the south of Bianjing. In addition, his ancestors were bandits, so his reputation was not very good. Even the more beautiful ladies were unwilling to marry in their village.

These days, Sijiazhai has tricycles and bicycles, and it really has a lot of limelight.

Nowadays, so many young people come to Bianjing to "deliver food", and the surrounding villages are so envious that their eyes are about to fall out.

The villagers don't know what "delivering food" is for, but they feel tall anyway.In just a few days, three matchmakers have come to Cuijiazhai to make matchmaking.

Cui Shi knew that all of this was brought to them by Si Nan.I knew I had nothing to repay, so I could only do my best to help him.

When we arrived at Yutang Lane, Sinan was all ready.

The three buckets of fried dumplings are not stacked randomly, but are separated by layers of bamboo rafts, with more than a hundred on each layer, a total of [-], [-] for the students to eat, and another [-] to give away. To the academy sir.

In addition to fried dumplings, there are also golden leek boxes, mixed with eggs and fungus, and salty shrimp skins.

Recently, Tang Xuan loved this one very much, so Sinan did it subconsciously.Send six hundred sheets to the academy, and put the remaining plate warm in the pot, Tang Xuan can eat it when he leaves the Yamen.

The side dish is naturally hot pot.

This is more troublesome, you can't put those green leafy vegetables that are easy to soften and lose their taste, so Si Nan made some tofu, bean skin, gluten, yuba, etc., plus Yutou, bamboo shoots, bacon, mutton, fish balls, shrimp balls, Both tasty and nutritious.

There are five types of base ingredients, and ten barrels are packed together with side dishes, and the students can choose by themselves.

In addition, there are soft and glutinous vegetable porridge, fish porridge, bean green soup, and several barrels.

The bucket is not too big, so it will not be too heavy, and it will be convenient for distribution.

Since it was the first day, Sinan deliberately ate more, hoping to see which one ate the most, so that he could focus on which one to do in the future.

Yixin School has also changed to this method.

Despite having a "big family" like Ruoshui Academy, Si Nan did not neglect those young gentlemen at all. Although there were only ten shares, he was still as attentive as before.

There was a mudguard over the rear wheel of the bicycle, and a bamboo cage was hung on each side, fastened with wooden wedges, as strong as welded.

The wooden bucket and the bamboo cage for the rice are made together, and it is just right to put in, without shaking or shaking, even if some soup is filled, the water will not spill out.

Ten spirited young men each pulled two buckets and lined up in the alley, pulling as much wind as they wanted.

Cui Shi was worried, "Have you memorized the way to the academy? Did you still think about what I taught you? Put your temper aside, don't be fussy, those are noble people, and they will be high-ranking officials in the future, but Can't collide!"

The boys kept nodding, but their hearts had already flown away.

Si Nan smiled and said, "Brother Shi, there's no need to be so nervous. After all, it's the first day. Even if something goes wrong, the head of the mountain will understand."

"That can't be done! The business you finally got, can't be destroyed in their hands."

Si Nan smiled, "It's not that serious."

Cui Shi sighed: "It would be great if there is an acquaintance with me."

Not only leading the way, but also the human relations and taboos in Bianjing city. Those who came out of these villages are very timid. If they offend some noble person, wouldn't they cause trouble for Sinan?

Just as he was worrying, he saw a person coming from the other side of the alley, got off his horse from a distance, and waved to Si Nan.

Si Nan smiled, "Brother Zhong is here?"

Zhong Jiang nodded with a smile, "Didn't you say that the food delivery will start today? I thought about coming over to try it, and the boss will approve the leave."

On the contrary, Sinan was a little embarrassed, "I just said it casually that day, so don't hurt your reputation."

Zhong Jiang waved his hand, "Brother Nan may not know what reputation is not. I am also from a farming family. The village is not far from Cuijiazhai. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet the boss, I would have never been able to enter the Imperial City Division. .”

Even if you get in, you won't get used to it.

Most of the emperor's guards are the children of the official family. Either the ancestors have the merits of following the dragon, or the six relatives of the three clans are officials in the court, and there are clan sons like Tang Xuan and Zhao Xing. He is a poor boy from a peasant family. Keep it, there is no way to mix it up.

Not to mention anything else, he couldn't afford the expenses of his colleagues going out to eat and drink.

However, Zhong Jiang is a real person, and he is not the kind of person who just takes advantage and does not suffer losses, so in the past few years, although he has made a lot of money, he has not bought anything for his family.

Now that he has just got married, his sister-in-law is pregnant again, and his younger brother is about to marry a wife, he has long wanted to save some money and turn over the old house in order to fulfill his responsibilities as a son and brother.

In contrast, a dispensable official position is not so important.

Zhong Jiang didn't hide what he said, and told Sinan with a smile.

Not only did Sinan have a better impression of him, but Cui Shi also nodded repeatedly when listening to him.

More than a dozen young men looked at his handsome and majestic appearance, and they were even more respectful.

With him in charge, everyone felt more at ease.

Zhong Jiang straddled his horse and led the way, and the boys rode bicycles neatly and orderly in a row, each in high spirits.

Passers-by looked sideways one after another, only to find it novel.

How could Sinan give up such a good publicity opportunity?

A small red flag was planted on each bicycle, and it was written in huge characters: "Si's Hot Pot Restaurant, No. [-] Household of Yutang Lane, Big Bonus for Opening!!!"

——Three exclamation marks are bolded and enlarged.

In order to take care of those illiterate, the boys have to shout twice after riding for a while.

Seeing them yelling, Zhong Jiang yelled too.

The boys suddenly became more angry and their voices became louder.

Now, the whole Bianjing city knows that the sixth household in Yutang Lane has opened a hot pot restaurant, and there is a line of noodles!

And the one who knew it said mysteriously: "It's not just as simple as arranging noodles, do you know who wrote the plaque on the lintel of the house?"

"Who?"

"The one sitting on the dragon chair!"

"Just blow it!" No one could believe it.

"If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself, there is a seal on the plaque!"

In this way, on the first day when Si's Hot Pot Restaurant officially welcomed customers, the threshold was almost trampled.

Si Nan thought that there would be many guests, but he didn't expect there to be so many.

Calm down, don't panic.

Brother Nan was already prepared.

Huaishu called a group of friends every minute, they all met in Wuyou Cave before, and now they are temporarily placed in Shantang by the government.Most of these teenagers are over 12 years old and cannot stay in the shantang all the time. They will be kicked out to find work in a few days.

Sinan had been thinking about this matter early in the morning, and asked Huaishu to greet them. If he couldn't find a suitable job, he would come to the hot pot restaurant to help.

It was originally out of good intentions, but unexpectedly, it was the children who saved him in the end.

This is really...

So cool!

Looking at the tables full of guests, Sinan's eyes were full of small money.

One of the advantages of ancient restaurants is that they don’t pay attention to privacy. They have long tables and stools in private space. Regardless of whether they know each other or not, they can chat all over the place when they sit next to each other.

This is convenient for Sinan, as long as there is a place, he can add a stool, without making the guests wait.

Among them was a special guest, Bai Ye.

Not only did he come, but he also brought congratulatory gifts.

Si Nan greeted him enthusiastically on the face, but secretly became vigilant in his heart.

Bai Ye saw it, and smiled gently, "Brother Si, don't be so nervous. After all, Bai is the vice president of Wuwei Club. There is a new restaurant opening, so he should come and have a look. Besides..."

He paused, and looked at Si Nan with obvious intimacy, "I don't know if Senior Yue has mentioned to you that Bai was favored by her when he was young."

Simon blinked, is it real or not?

Why did his mother get involved with the people in Wuyoudong?

"It's true." Looking at his clever appearance, Bai Ye's smile deepened, "If Senior Yue hadn't rescued him back then, Bai might have been kicked to death by a crazy horse."

"Is that so..." Whether it's true or not, since Bai Ye used this to get close to him, it means that at least he won't make things difficult for him openly.

Si Nan's smile was somewhat sincere, and he personally led Bai Ye upstairs.

As soon as Tang Xuan entered, he saw his little boy smiling at other men.

The eyelashes drooped immediately, strode over, bumped without a trace, and Bai Ye knocked to the stairs all at once.

"Are you here? Why are you a quarter of an hour late today? There is a leek box warming in the pot, and I think it will be cold if you don't come."

Si Nan didn't care about Bai Ye's fall at all, and gave Tang Xuan all the big smiles.

The king of the county suddenly calmed down, his eyelashes were raised, and his voice was obviously happy: "Go and eat."

"Yeah, I'm with you, I haven't eaten it yet, I don't know if the salt taste is heavy, and if the shrimp skin is enough..."

Si Nan happily followed him like a little tail, completely forgetting the existence of Bai Ye.

Bai Ye's face, tsk!

The author has something to say: (There is no second update today, babies don’t wait)

Tell me why you don’t call the county king “His Royal Highness”——In the Song Dynasty, His Royal Highness refers to the prince, and the rest of the princes are called “big kings”, such as the second king and the eighth king; as for the other one-word kings and county kings, the author did not find the corresponding ones. According to the information, it is guessed that it is called Wang Ye, or King X.

The words "Your Majesty" and "Master Wang" that the author occasionally uses are just joking, and seem playful~~
