I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

Fan Xuan'er had great confidence that she could become the princess of the county, but she was detained by the Wei family in the mansion for several days in a row, unable to go out, and could not even see Tang Xuan's face.

Fan Xuan'er begged twice, Wei Shi was frightened by her, and when she heard that she was coming, she immediately lay down on the bed and pretended to be sick.Without the leadership of her elders, she couldn't go out alone to make friends with people.

Fan Xuaner compares herself to the heroine in the storybook, who has a hard life and needs the hero to save her.

Still imitating the heroine's appearance, she put one arm on the window lattice, looked at the flowers and plants outside, and wept silently.

Seeing this, the servant girl couldn't help persuading: "My lady, why bother, since the king of the county is not interested in you, why don't you stop thinking about it and marry Mr. Erlang!"

Fan Xuan'er sighed, and said softly: "Second cousin is good, but he is not good enough for me. I was raised in Zhongming Dingshi's family since I was a child, and I learned the rules from the mothers in the palace, in order to manage the rear house , to assist your husband, to be a personal master. Otherwise, why do you think I have to practice those skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, ordering tea and flower arrangement?"

"It's said that 'it took me ten years to learn the pipa technique'. It took me five years to become a teacher. There is no one in Jiangning who is not boastful. There are so many sisters and sisters in the family. In terms of talent, learning, and appearance, none of them can compare to me."

As she spoke, she delicately raised her hand and plucked the pipa next to her. The sharp sound made the servant girl jump.

The maid said with a dry smile: "My lady's talent, learning and appearance are naturally good..."

If you don't apply a thick layer of powder, it may be called delicate.

Fan Xuan'er caressed her cheeks narcissistically, "Mother said, I was born to marry into a prince's family, with a phoenix crown and a rosy skirt, and a glorious lintel. If I were willing to fall into depravity and marry a military man hastily, how could I be worthy of my mother's spirit in heaven?"

The corner of the servant girl's mouth twitched, "Mr. Erlang is a good-looking talent. He was named General Protector at a young age. How can he be called a mere soldier?"

Fan Xuan'er smiled slightly, "Compared to the noble and handsome Prince Yan, he is just a mere soldier."

The servant girl had no choice but to say, "However, King Yan didn't like you either!"

"He just couldn't figure it out for a while. Behind me is the Jiangning Fan family. My father left me a wealth of wealth. If I marry me in, I will definitely help him make friends with powerful people and realize his ambitions. Not to mention a small county king, even if he is One-word prince, I can help him get it in the future."

The servant girl was startled, and hurriedly said: "Lady, don't talk nonsense, Guochao is most taboo about this."

Fan Xuan'er looked at her with a condescending attitude, "Look, don't even dare to think about it, you can only be a slave for the rest of your life."

The maid puffed her face and muttered in a low voice: "You have a big heart, or are you locked at home by the mistress and can't even get out?"

Fan Xuan'er's eyes dimmed, "Auntie just couldn't figure it out for a while, and she doesn't have a biological daughter. If I marry well, what harm will it do to the General's Mansion?"

After a short pause, I came up with an idea, "Liu'er, go to the small kitchen to stew the bird's nest and send it to your aunt, and say that I honor her. Find a chance and tell her that I have been worrying every day and weeping at the window." , I'm about to get sick."

"……Yes."

The servant girl bowed her knees and responded without any surprise, she was obviously used to it.

Back then, Xiao Wei lived in the General's Mansion and used this trick to deceive Wei whenever things went wrong. Now it's Fan Xuan'er's turn again.

However, Wei's heart is sincere, and he regards them as relatives. Even if he knows that there are exaggerated elements in the maid's words, he still can't help worrying.

Wei Shi stirred the bird's nest in the bowl, and unsurprisingly softened, "Such a good thing, she didn't keep it for herself, so she stewed it for me."

Cao Guo rolled her eyes, "You were the mistress who bought such a good thing. If she didn't want to coax you out, would she be so kind as to stew it for you?"

The Wei family sighed: "Why don't I know? But, the Wei family is only such a relative, how can I be hardened?"

"If you want me to say, you should arrange a marriage for her as soon as possible, marry a good man, and the cousin will take care of her."

Even if he didn't take it seriously, he would go to his husband's house to make trouble, and it had nothing to do with the general's mansion.

These words really reminded Wei Shi.

She took a sip of the bird's nest and said, "Write a letter to Yong'er, don't miss the Mid-Autumn Festival, and come back next month."

Cao Guo suddenly raised her voice: "Are you still determined? Are you going to let that little Bailian marry Mr. Erlang again?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wei Shi gave her a blank look, "Yong'er has always had a lot of ideas, and I have someone to discuss with him when I call him back."

Cao Guo patted his chest, almost dying of fright.

Wei Shi scolded him a few words and urged her to write a letter to Di Yong.She herself is illiterate, and the family letters in the mansion have always been written by Cao Guo.

The Wei family gave birth to five sons in total, the youngest son died young, and now there are four left.The oldest is 25, and the youngest is 16, all at the border.

Back then, the second child, Di Yong, was about to be one year old and gave birth to the third child, Wei couldn't take care of it, it was Cao Guo who brought up the second child, Di Yong, with feces and urine.

Di Yong is the smartest among several brothers, and Di Qing likes the most, and has always been the pride of Caoguo.She would rather Di Yong marry a courteous and filial Xiaojia Biyu than the hypocritical and arrogant Fan Xuaner.Fortunately, Xiao Wei didn't take a fancy to Di Yong when they were discussing the marriage, so Cao Guo hid under the quilt and laughed secretly for several days.

Every time she wrote a letter to Di Yong, Cao Guo wrote a large sheet like a nagging old woman.

This time I want to write more, in addition to complaining about Fan Xuaner, I also talked about Sinan and hot pot restaurants.

After writing four or five pages, I added a sentence at the end: "There is nothing at home, don't come back in a hurry."

Half a month later, by the Luoshui River.

A man in green shirt is driving a steed, with his arms raised high, waving a lasso in his hand, chasing a group of strong wild horses.

The horses rushed among the horses and passed one after another. Lang Jun focused his eyes on the leader of the horse king.

It was a young pony. It seemed that he had just become a leader not long ago, and he didn't know how to lead a group of horses, otherwise he wouldn't have broken into the Northwest Army's garrison without thinking.

Lang Jun was not in a hurry, and patiently waited for the opportunity.

There was a wet tidal flat under his feet, and the river was a little rushing forward, and Ma Wang hesitated for a moment.

It's now!

With a wave of Lang Jun's arm, the rope flew out, and it just happened to be wrapped around Mawang's neck.

Ma Wang raised his hooves high and neighed angrily.

Lang Jun was not in a hurry, he held the rope tightly and approached quickly.

When the two horses were driving side by side, I saw him propping up his arms, leaping up and landing on the horse king's back.

Ma Wang was furious, rushing around, biting his hooves, trying to throw him off.

Lang Jun leaned down, his slender legs clamped tightly around the horse's belly, his upper body was kept as low as possible, one hand tightly grasped the mane, and the other patiently patted it.

After an unknown amount of time, the young Ma Wang finally got tired of tossing and tossing himself, and at the same time determined that there was no way to shake off the annoying Two-legged beast on his back, and gradually calmed down.

Lang Jun pulled the rope, turned the horse's head, and ran back to the station with a kick.

The crowd burst into cheers.

The pony king also raised his neck and let out a long hiss.

Cursing.

Lang Jun patted the horse's neck, his eyebrows raised, "Brother, what do you think of this horse, is it worthy of Xiao Si's birthday gift?"

Dalang Di Jia nodded calmly, and handed him a letter from home, "Aunt Caoguo wrote to you, stamped with a red stamp, I think there is something urgent."

"What's the rush? Left and right, I got mad at my mother again, and complained to me." Although he said this, Di Yong couldn't wait to get off his horse and hand over the pony king to his own soldiers.

Xiao Bing took the rope eagerly, and was about to flatter him, when he was pulled by the pony king, and instantly fell into the mud.

Everyone laughed.The pony king was proud, and trotted all the way to Di Yong's side, wanting to repeat the old trick.Unexpectedly, he nimbly dodged it.

After reading the letter, Di Yong turned his head and patted its long face, "Come on, come back to Bianjing with me, I've found a new master for you."

Di Xiaosi, who was promised a birthday gift just now: ...

What about brotherly love?

Di Yong looked at the last line "Don't come back in a hurry", and evoked a flying smile.

After a year's absence, it's time to go back and take a look at his little brother Nan.

***

In July, the weather turns cold.

Si Nan was very busy.

Waking up early in the morning, he had to pack up several children and send them to school to study.

In the morning, you should contact the officials of the Ministry of Rites to discuss matters related to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

In the afternoon, I have to hurry back to the hot pot restaurant to hear about the situation of the day and receive shopkeepers who are interested in joining.

There are no less than a hundred shops to join, and the signing time agreed in advance is coming soon, and Sinan hasn't decided which ten to choose.

——He underestimated his appeal, and announced early in the morning that he would only sign ten companies this year.

Tang Xuan was also busy. While he was busy investigating the salt smuggling case, he also strictly investigated the security of the capital, and sometimes he even went to patrol the city gate himself.

The two of them could only meet in the small courtyard of Si's family in the evening, have dinner and drink tea.

No matter how tired or annoyed Sinan is during the day, when he stands in front of the stove, his heart is at ease.

No matter how busy or urgent Tang Xuan was, he would go home for dinner on time and see Sinan.

This dinner has become a tacit understanding between the two.

Huaishu entered the Xiang army as he wished, trained in the camp in the morning, and went to school in the afternoon to study.

From time to time, Sinan asked him to bring some small hot pots to the brothers in the camp. Because of this, the recruits were often bullied by Huai Shu, and he became a good friend.

In order to join the store, Sinan recruited another group of people and handed them over to Liu Shi and Cui Shi for training.

The takeaway team has also grown, from the original ten-member team to a hundreds-member team, and the original ten team members have become captains, each leading a team.

Zhong Jiang is still the captain.

He trained these young men with the standards of a soldier. From the very beginning, he made clear the discipline and clearly defined the rewards and punishments.

As soon as the morning bell of Daxiangguo Temple rang, ten teams set off in unison, all of them full of energy and vigor, attracting crowds to watch wherever they passed.

The delivery team has become the signature of Si's Hot Pot.

Now, there are only Xiao Guo and Yu Sanniang, the two and a half older children left in the store. They have to greet customers and manage the rest of the staff. Besides the basic salary, Si Nan also gave them a commission increase.

The back kitchen is also bustling.

As Sinan's "chief disciple", Erdou will be responsible for teaching other apprentices when Sinan is busy.

The little guy stood in front of the stove, serious like a little old man, and once he left the stove, he would return to his naive look.

The apprentices respect him very much, and call him a "big brother".

At this time, Er Dou would scratch his head shyly, and said naively: "They call me old."

These people can be his father no matter their age!

Although they were too busy to touch the ground, everyone was happy in their hearts.

I feel that the road ahead is very good.

The next day is a holiday.

After dinner, Tang Xuan washed a bunch of grapes and handed them to Sinan.

Si Nan slumped on the recliner, eating grapes and drying his belly, not to mention how comfortable he was.

Tang Xuan organized his words silently before he opened his mouth: "The sky is full of red clouds today, and I think tomorrow will be a good weather. Do you want to go outside the city?"

"Where are you going?" Sinan ate a grape, picked up another and fed it to him.

Tang Xuan ate it with his hands, and after swallowing, he said: "The Jiaozhi Kingdom paid tribute to a pair of strange beasts, and the officials ordered people to raise them in Yujin Garden. Do you want to go and see them?"

Sure enough, Sinan became interested, "What strange beast?"

"Lingxiong."

Uh……

In an instant, it turned into a small ball that was punctured.

It’s the rhinoceros. It’s boring to see a lot in modern times.

Si Nan blinked, and said the refusal very humorously: "Finally you can have a leisurely day, your 'little spinning top' decided to stop spinning and take a good rest, my 'little virtuous' is understandable, right?"

Tang Xuan pursed his lips and nodded.

In fact, he was looking forward to Sinan's going. This was the first time they went out after confirming their relationship, so the meaning was different after all.

Si Nan didn't know that for this date, Tang Xuan stayed up all night, compressing three days' work into two days, just to spare one day to spend time with him.

He refused.

Tang Xuan's expression was normal, and Si Nan didn't notice anything strange.

Si Nan is tired, he knows, if he wants to have a good rest, then he should have a good rest!

When leaving, Tang Xuan quickly hugged Sinan while the children were not paying attention.

Right as compensation for failing to date.

Si Nan smiled smugly.

My little shou is really getting more and more good at acting like a baby.

As a result, Sinan didn't take a good rest the next day, and was called to the hotpot restaurant early in the morning by Yu Erniang.

While listening to Yu Sanniang's report on the recent situation, she saw a tall "little lady" enter the store.

The other party was wearing a pleated skirt and a seven-colored veiled hat, with gold hairpins jingling in the exposed black hair and double-headed hairpins, and a strong breath of trenches rushed towards his face.

Seeing Sinan in the shop, the "little lady" seemed a little nervous, and hid behind the maid.

Si Nan touched his face, is it that scary?

The "little lady" rolled her eyes when she saw his movements.

Just when the fan blew to this side and raised the colorful veil on that side, Sinan saw his face clearly and almost spit out a sip of tea.

This guy……

The other party quickly grabbed the hood and tightly covered his face.

The maid next to her said fiercely: "Hurry up and take my wife to the private room."

Yu Sanniang hurried forward, "Is this your first time here? Do you have an appointment?"

"Little lady" bowed her head and said something in the maid's ear.

The servant girl straightened her back and said crisply: "My husband——my wife is a member, a senior member."

Yu Sanniang smiled and bent her knees, "Excuse me, senior members don't need to make an appointment. If you don't mind, lady, you can follow me to the 'Women's Pavilion'. It is specially prepared for women, and no man has ever entered before."

"Little lady" paused, and said: "No need, ordinary private rooms are fine."

Yu Sanniang couldn't help but glance at "her", always feeling that something was weird.Still with a warm smile on his face, he respectfully led "her" up to the second floor.

Si Nan watched from behind, at his shoulders, then at his waist, and finally at those big feet that appeared and disappeared...

When going upstairs, she stepped on the hem of her skirt carelessly and almost fell down.

Si Nan couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

——Is this kid invited by the monkey to be funny?

The other party turned around and glared at him fiercely.

Come on, even if you haven't been sure just now, you know who this guy is at this time.

A man disguised as a woman sneaked into the shop, thanks to him he figured it out!

Sinan's evil factor exploded, pushing the super menu, and went to greet him in person.

The "little lady" was about to take off her veil, when she saw him, she immediately became vigilant, "What are you doing here? Where is that little girl just now?"

"You are the [-]th lucky customer in the store today, and the store manager will personally greet you." Sinan put the models on the table with a smile, "Double pot or triple pot?"

The "little lady" clutched her hood tightly and screamed, "I want to fight four times."

"More than four is unlucky, let's have a triple fight? How about bone broth, tomato, and slightly spicy?"

"It's not very good. I prefer mushroom soup, red dates, and abnormally spicy."

"It's up to you." Sinan smiled, like a big brother who spoils children, "What side dishes should I order? Are there any taboos?"

"There are no taboos, I can eat anything." The tone was quite proud, "Only one portion of the side dishes on the third floor, and all the free dishes on the first floor, if you can't give them all, I will buy them with money. "

Si Nan suppressed a smile, "So much, can we finish it? Our shop doesn't want to waste it."

"Who do you look down on? If I can't finish eating, I'll take it away!" I didn't know how to suppress my voice when I was in a hurry, like a young man full of anger.

The maid winked desperately.

The other party reacted, and quickly softened his voice, Jiao Didi said: "You really hate it, it's not that you don't pay for the food you eat."

When it was over, she twirled her orchid fingers coquettishly.

Sinan was about to die of laughter, he turned around and walked out while pushing the cart.

The other party let out a long sigh of relief.

Si Nan turned around abruptly, "Is there really no taboo?"

The other party was startled, and waved his hands in disgust, "No, no, hurry up, I won't use it later, let the little girl serve the food."

"Okay, wait a moment." Sinan smiled and agreed straightforwardly.

There was an inexplicable crisis in the other party, and he always felt that he was smiling with ill intentions.

Sure enough, the next moment, Sinan floated in front of him like a ghost, stretched out his hand to remove the veil, and pinched his face.

"You, you bastard! Give me back the veil!" The other party covered his face pretending to be ashamed and indignant.

Sinan laughed loudly, "Even though I pretended it, I already showed my secrets. Who said that if you die, you won't come to my restaurant to eat hot pot?"

Before the other party answered, a cold voice came from outside: "Who said that today you have to rest at home for a day?"

Rejecting his date, actually molesting the little lady here!

Tang Xuan's face sank like water.

Simon was panicked.

Was, was caught raped?
