I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

Tang Xuan blew a small cool breeze all night, and he was still full of energy the next day.

He stretched himself, jumped off the roof lightly, and swaggered into Funing Hall.

Zhao Zhen just woke up, with two huge dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing him for the first time, I was quite happy, "Xuan'er so early? Did you come to have breakfast with dad?"

"No, just borrow the wash water."

Tang Xuan washed his face grandly, wiped it clean, went to the inner room to change his clothes, combed his hair, put on the jade crown, and tidied himself up neatly.

These years, Funing Palace has kept his clothes for changing all the year round, Zhao Zhen has a headache, and Tang Xuan is always on guard day and night.

Zhao Zhen looked at his operation, dumbfounded, "You are dressed so smartly, why don't you go with your wife?"

Tang Xuan nodded, then shook his head again.

It's not to meet the daughter-in-law, but to meet the daughter-in-law.

Zhao Zhen put his head up and pretended to be pitiful, "Xuan'er, let's go to court with dad, dad is not in good spirits today, I really don't want to listen to those old guys nagging. You stand beside dad, who wants to talk endlessly, Just stare at him."

Tang Xuan refused mercilessly: "The officials should make up for it, don't go to court, so as not to be angry."

Zhao Zhen:? ? ?

Until he left, Zhao Zhen was still wondering, "How did Xuan'er know that I didn't sleep well? Did you tell him?"

The servants shook their heads one by one.

Zhang Mao hurried in, holding a bamboo cage in his hand, "I found the reason, someone let the cat on the roof."

Zhao Zhen's expression froze, "Who can climb up to the roof of Funing Hall without making a sound?"

The servant couldn't help exclaiming: "Could it be—"

Zhang Mao winked quickly.

But it was too late.

Zhao Zhen looked at the direction Tang Xuan left and smiled angrily.

"This stinky boy!"

"It's really...it's time to fight!"

Saying this on the lips, in reality, there is no intention of sincere punishment at all.

Although I didn't sleep well, I still have to work hard to go to court.

Yuan pointed to the quick battle and quick decision to go back to catch up on sleep, and suddenly met Bao Zheng's eyes as big as copper bells.

Zhao Zhen's scalp went numb, and he was about to pretend to be dizzy.

Bao Zheng spoke first: "I want to impeach King Yan!"

"Using the Sky-Shaking Arrow for no reason!"

"Privately summon the old department of the Tang Corporation!"

"Make trouble and arrest people!"

"Greatly disturb the people!"

"Demolition of houses in broad daylight!"

"As a clan, if you abuse your power, you must be severely punished!"

Zhao Zhen was taken aback when he heard that.

I finally know why Tang Xuan didn't let him go to court...

Tang Xuan skipped the court without any psychological burden, and the saliva of the Taiwan admonisher could not be sprayed on him, and all went towards the official's house.

Wearing new clothes and a small jade crown, Tang Xuan came to the small courtyard of the Si family unhurriedly.

As usual, it was the pagoda tree that opened the door, and I was not used to seeing him empty-handed.

"Breakfast on the saddle? I'll get it."

"No, I didn't buy it today." Tang Xuan looked at Sinan's room with a smile on his lips, "Your master can do it."

Locust tree: ...

He doesn't quite understand the adult world.

Tang Xuan came early today, and the cubs curled up on Sinan's belly in a bulging ball before they could escape back to the house.

Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows, and lifted the quilt from a small corner.

The little guy shook his head, stretched out his paws, and gently swept Sinan Bai's belly with his fluffy tail.

Xu felt itchy, so Si Nan turned his lower body.

The weasel cub stretched out its paws very skillfully to grab the waistband of his trousers and hung them firmly on him.

The soft fabric slides between the crotch, revealing a small white waist.

Tang Xuan's belly tightened, he didn't know whether to thank this little boy or pluck his hair.

When I reached out to grab the little hair ball, I touched the tight waistline, and I couldn't help but stop for a long time.

"squeak?"

No, don't you lose it?

Everyone is posing!

Tiao Tiao cub tilted his head, blinked his round black eyes, and looked at him suspiciously.

Just... let's not pluck the hair.

Tang Xuan threw him back to the nest through the window.

Tiao Tiao opened its small paws, raised its fur tail, and landed steadily.

"Squeak!"

"Squeak!"

Father Weasel and Mother Weasel enthusiastically surrounded him.

The cubs rolled their bellies, drank their mother's milk, and flew up happily.

inside the house.

Si Nan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyelids moved pitifully.

Tang Xuan pursed his lips, flicked the hem of his clothes, and lay neatly beside him.

Si Nan opened his eyes with a whoosh, "Xiao Xuanxuan, you are not reserved anymore."

Is it okay to take the initiative to climb the bed?

Tang Xuan's eyelashes drooped, the corners of his mouth drooped, and his voice was hoarse: "I haven't slept all night, my head hurts."

Si Nan's heart ached for a second, "Staying up late again? Is the Imperial City Secretary so busy? If you can't, then stop doing it, or you'll burn yourself out."

Tang Xuan hooked his lips, "It won't last long."

Hearing the deep meaning in his words, Si Nan raised his eyebrows, without asking any further questions, he quickly covered him with a quilt, "Go to sleep for a while."

Tang Xuan looked weak, "I haven't eaten yet."

Sinan smiled fondly, "What do you want to eat? I'll do it."

"Small wontons, the kind I made at home for the first time."

"Leek box, big one."

Sinan's smile deepened, "Okay, I'll make it for you. Can you close your eyes obediently, my little sugar ball?"

Tang Xuan hooked his lips, "obediently" closed his eyes.

Because I was in a safe place, I didn't feel sleepy at first, but I still fell asleep unconsciously.

Si Nan climbed out of bed lightly, and willingly made small wontons and leek boxes.

Huaishu looked at his busy figure in amazement.

Can the king of the county pinch and count?

Master really came out to cook!

The children were very happy. It had been a long time since they had breakfast cooked by Master!In their hearts, no matter how expensive the breakfast is, it is not as delicious as the one cooked by the master.

The little ones had long forgotten the pain, and with their red and swollen faces, they were snoring and enjoying themselves.

In contrast, Tang Xuan was much quieter, still sitting upright, eating at a leisurely pace, that calmness and courtesy were imprinted in his bones.

The cub quietly learns from him, the way he sits, the way he holds chopsticks, and even which one to eat first and which one to eat later.

Tang Xuan found out, and kept silent, eating slowly on purpose to demonstrate it to him.

Sinan looked at the cubs who were working hard to make progress, and then at the rest of them who were heartless, and couldn't help laughing.

Each has its own cuteness.

After Wen Xinxin finished his meal, Sinan only talked about what happened yesterday.

"You didn't do anything wrong, it's those who gossiped and scolded people who were wrong. If you encounter this kind of thing again, you don't have to be bullied in vain. As long as you think you are right, do it. This family is your backing."

Si Nan took Tang Xuan's hand and said, "I will support you, and so will the king of the county."

The children nodded heavily.

I was not scolded by the master for fighting, but the master applied medicine to them very gently and told them that what they did was right.

It's very reassuring.

Si Nan paused for a moment, and then said: "I want to apologize to you. It's the matter between me and the county king that caused you trouble. This may not be the last time. I need to trouble you to bear it."

The children quickly looked at Xiao Zai, asking him to say something.

Xiao Zai hurriedly said: "I have not been implicated! Brother Shifu and the county king are mother and father, no one is allowed to scold!"

The rest of the children nodded heavily, "It's a family, and anyone who scolds will be beaten!"

Si Nan smiled and sighed, stretched out his arms, and hugged the big and small together into his arms.

His little angel!

After being moved, Si Nan still emphasized that he should not say "father, mother" in front of outsiders in the future, and pretend that he and Tang Xuan are just ordinary friends.

The children nodded obediently and took notes carefully.

Tang Baobao was upset, "An ordinary friend?"

"Boyfriend, it's boyfriend!" Sinan quickly coaxed, "Do you know what boyfriend means? It's the kind you can hug and sleep with."

Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows, "If I remember correctly, you said a long time ago that he is my boyfriend."

Si Nan grinned, "Did you just know? I've missed you for a long time."

"Missing, Shang, me?" Tang Xuan's accent was a little strange.

Si Nan gave him a funny elbow, "In front of the children, please put on your rabbit skin."

Tang Xuan hooked his lips, and made a "covering" movement, "It's ready."

Si Nan's heart is sweet, his Tang Qiuqiu is so cool and handsome, how can he be so cute!

Da Zong Gong, who was so sweet, tried to stay awake, and made three rules: "When you leave this door, you must keep your distance. You are not allowed to drag your little hands, you are not allowed to pinch your ears, you are not allowed to scratch your nose, and you are not allowed to steal kisses—anyone who violates the rules must be punished."

"Punishment for what?"

Sinan thought for a while, "Do push-ups as punishment."

Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows, it couldn't be easier for him.

Sinan added: "I'll sit on your waist."

Tang Xuan laughed, "Then I should commit a crime."

Simon: ...

"If I make a mistake, I will do push-ups, and if you make a mistake, I will give the cub a bath."

Tang Xuan: "I sit on your waist?"

Sinan: "You should think about how to deal with the cubs... No, the key is not to commit crimes!"

Before going out, Sinan took a deep breath and poked Tang Xuan, "Come on, let's do the drill first, Mr. Junwang."

Tang Xuan: "Si Xiaodong's family."

Si Nan smiled, "Okay, let's go!"

"Let's go!" The cubs carried small sewn bags on their backs with clear voices.

The quiet tea soup alley woke up.

Neighbors heard the jingle of the tricycle and got up to do errands.

The family separated at the intersection of Ma Xing Jie.

Si Nan warned: "It may rain today, if it rains heavily, don't rush home, wait for someone to pick you up at the school."

The children nodded their heads and responded in unison.

After instructing the younger one, he also told the older one: "You too, come home directly after getting off the Yamen, don't go all the way to the hotpot restaurant, it's so tiring."

Tang Xuan also nodded, it is not certain whether he will follow suit.

Into the autumn, every day is like a cool day.

Especially on a cloudy and rainy day like this, a bowl of hot hot pot can always relieve the fatigue all over the body.

Not only is the business of the main store in Yutang Lane getting better and better, but the other ten franchised stores, including those authorized stores that bought the formula, have a lot of income every day.In contrast, franchise stores are more convincing.

This is due to Sinan's vigorous publicity.

In order to crack down on the small cottage hot pot, he thought of a little trick.

——When a new customer enters the store, they will receive a small wood-cut hangtag, with the twelve zodiac signs engraved on the front and Si’s Hot Pot Restaurant’s logo on the back, which can be hung around the neck like a sweater chain, or can be attached to the Internet like a jade pendant The bag hangs around the waist.

Don’t think it’s low, this kind of brand’s peripherals can be regarded as the first in Song Dynasty. Everything is purely handmade, and it’s very delicate, and it’s not cheap at all when you wear it.

In order to improve the quality, Sinan set up a "point upgrade system". The first time you enter the store, you will get twelve zodiac signs. If you spend more than [-] characters, you can exchange them for flower and bird patterns, if you spend more than [-], you can exchange them for auspicious characters, and if you spend more than [-], they can be customized.

At first, only children wore it as a toy.

Later, Wu Zixu ostentatiously hung the "custom order" on his body, making a big splash.

Another time, when Yu Meiren and Die Lianhua were performing, they hung the "hot pot card" with a net on the piano, and it became popular all of a sudden.

This is not finished.

Si Nan stayed up all night and drew a picture of "Flying Dragon in the Sky", and asked someone to carve a piece of jade and gave it to the official family, and it was called for the treatment of VVVVIP.

The officials happily wore them to the court, and those who said sour words immediately shut up.

Officials wear it?Who dares to say low!

Nowadays, anyone who doesn't have a "hot pot brand" is ashamed to go out and walk around!

Small cottage hot pots are still sold, but they are not as popular as they were in the beginning. The price has dropped again and again, but there are still not many people buying it.

Occasionally someone wants to try it, and a person wearing a "hot pot brand" will appear next to him, and his tone is not without complacency: "Greedy for hot pot? How can I eat this, why not go to Si's hot pot restaurant. A bowl of small hot pot is only [-] yuan Wen, not too expensive, but you can eat authentic."

In just a few days, the Shanzhai small hot pot suffered a devastating blow, and the few that survived were all arranged by Bai Ye.

These people couldn't hold on, and wanted to withdraw, but Bai Ye and his confidant servant girl were all imprisoned in the Imperial City Division, and there was no one to ask for instructions!

Funing Hall.

Zhao Zhen and Tang Xuan sat and stood, both bearing the queen's scolding.

Zhao Zhen was very aggrieved. He originally called his adopted son to fix him up, but before he could speak, the queen came.Once the queen came, it was not his turn to speak, not only did he not have the turn to speak, but he also had to be scolded with his adopted son.

Of course, he could choose to stand with the queen and scold Tang Xuan, but he just couldn't bear it.It's okay to scold yourself, but when others scold you, you can't help protecting them.

The queen started from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and continued to scold Tang Xuan until Tang Xuan fought and wet the bed when he was a child, and finally revealed his true purpose.

"Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, I have never had such a lawless and malicious harassing clan! Is the secret library of the Imperial City Secretary used by you to check the affairs of the master and the west? If you don't want to be a commander, Why don't you give it to Xing'er!"

Tang Xuan said lightly: "Okay."

The queen said solemnly: "You must know the situation in the early court. Bao Zheng can't wait to eat you. If you are not here, he will eat the official family..."

Zhao Xing tugged at the Queen's sleeve and whispered, "He agreed."

The queen didn't listen at all, "It's useless if he doesn't like it, he caused the disaster himself, even the officials don't want to protect him anymore."

Zhao Xing raised his voice: "He agreed, he agreed."

Queen:? ? ?

"When did you agree? Why didn't I hear it?"

"Just now, when the empress said, 'It's better to leave it to Xing'er', he agreed."

Queen:  …

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"The minister said it, but the empress didn't listen."

"That's because your voice is too low. Be upright and upright, don't act like a little lady all day long."

Zhao Xing...has gotten used to it.

I can only smile with a shy face.

Tang Xuan greeted him and left the Palace of Funing.

Lin Zhen was waiting at Chengxuanmen, and told him about Bai Ye and the servant girl, "You have a very strict mouth, and you won't ask for anything."

Tang Xuan was not surprised, "I didn't expect him to recruit at all. The point is private salt. Start with maids and see if you can find anything useful."

After a pause, I lowered my voice: "I will be at home from tomorrow onwards, and I will no longer serve as a commander. If there is any progress in the private salt case, please let me know as soon as possible."

Lin Zhen was taken aback, "You want to investigate privately?"

Tang Xuan shook his head, "This is the government's secret decree, and the private salt case has been transferred to a Class A task."

Class A tasks are directly responsible to the officials, and no one can know about them except those appointed by the officials.

"Na Muqing..."

"Secret." Tang Xuan said, "You know the rules."

Lin Zhen's heart trembled slightly, even Mu Qing wanted to hide it, the problem was serious.

Si Nan was right, it really started to rain in the afternoon.

The hot pot restaurant just sent away a group of customers, and Sinan was greeting the staff for dinner, when he looked up and saw a green tented carriage parked opposite, the wheels got stuck in the ditch, the driver couldn't get out even after pushing and pulling.

A man dressed as a military officer got out of the car. He looked generous and had no airs. He rolled up his clothes and pushed the cart with the driver.

Maybe there are too many things in the car, and I can't push them out for a while.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the two of them were drenched in sight.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a pampered hand came out, followed by the lady's clear voice: "Don't worry about it, just stay here until the rain stops. Officer, find a place to change your clothes first, the business is important .”

It was raining too much, and Sinan didn't hear what the military officer said.

He called a few young and strong boys to go out to help.There are many people and strength, and they were pushed out within a few carriages.

The military officer smiled frankly: "Thank you all, there is an urgent matter today, and Zhao will definitely come to the door to thank you another day."

"It's a little effort, no need." Sinan said with a smile, "Your Excellency is from another place, right? If you don't mind, why don't you go to a small shop to drink some hot tea, change your clothes, and leave before it's too late."

Zhao Zongshi hesitated a little, not because he didn't trust Sinan, but because he was too embarrassed to disturb him.

Gao Taotao said resolutely: "Officer, even if you don't want to rest, I also want to. This is a heavy rainy day, and the road is muddy, so don't get stuck again."

"Oh, that's good." Zhao Zongshi nodded quickly, and smiled at Sinan, "Then I will trouble you, brother."

Si Nan smiled and waved his hands, leading him to the front of the store.

It wasn't that he was out of good intentions, but seeing that this man was willing to push the cart in the rain with the coachman, and he didn't give a single word of reprimand, which showed that he was a generous man.

Not only generous, but also a wife slave.

Gao Taotao got out of the car without a single drop of water on the soles of his shoes, and was directly carried into the store by Zhao Zongshi.

In front of these people, Gao Taotao was ashamed and angry, and secretly pinched him.

Zhao Zongshi gasped and just laughed.

Si Nan looked at it with his eyes, only feeling warm.

Traveling through time for so long, this is the first time I see a man who loves his wife so much.

This graceful lady also loves her husband, otherwise she would not condescend to come to his small shop.

It is indeed condescending, Gao Taotao's attire, there is nothing that is not exquisite, coupled with his appearance and temperament, it does not look like he will settle in such a small shop.

Back then, Sinan was poor and poor, so he set his goal a little lower. Now it seems that this store is really not enough.

Coincidentally, this time the seller made a lot of money, Sinan thought about going to see the house after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and expanding the store to have the grandeur of a real store.

Zhao Zongshi went to the private room to change clothes, and entered the palace in the rain.

Originally worried about leaving Gao Taotao alone, Gao Taotao made a decisive decision, "This little boss is kind-hearted at first glance, and there is a young lady in the shop to greet him, why are you worried?"

Zhao Zongshi had no choice but to ask Sinan for a while.

Gao Taotao generously found a chair and sat down.

The appearance of such a bright and noble lady in the store made the dark rainy day look much brighter.

The boys couldn't help blushing, and hid in the kitchen one by one with their bowls in their hands to eat.

Yu Sanniang came out with a smile, and gave Gao Taotao a bowl of sweet and warm red dates and white fungus soup.

Gao Taotao teased: "Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to pay?"

Yu Sanniang smiled, "It's rainy and cold, I'll send you a bowl to warm you up, no money."

Gao Taotao was surprised, "You don't look like the boss's lady, can you be the master?"

Yu Sanniang said cleverly: "Our boss is the most benevolent, as long as he does good deeds, he never stops him."

Gao Taotao looked at Sinan with his eyes and smiled, "Sure enough, benevolence and righteousness. Just now I saw the sign on the door saying that I can get a membership card, so I can join in the fun."

Sinan knew that she was returning favors, and said with a smile: "There are no activities now, only ordinary members. Do you think we should wait a little longer? We will open a wave during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Gao Taotao grasped the point at once, "Are senior members more expensive?"

Si Nan nodded, "Each card costs a thousand cash, but the money will not be wasted in vain. Every penny will be stored in the card, and you can deduct as much as you spend."

Gao Taotao smiled, "It's fresh."

As he spoke, he took out a small silver ingot from his pocket, "Just for this high-end one."

Sinan was helpless, "I can't be a high-level one now."

"Then keep the money with you, and recharge it when you can."

When we got to this point, Sinan couldn't refuse, so he could only say: "There is no cash in the store, can I give you a few more copper coins?"

"Who said I need change? Ten taels of silver, ten bills."

Simon: ...

Such a strong big sister demeanor!

Not only Sinan, but everyone in the shop was shocked.

Gao Taotao took a sip of the white fungus soup, and raised his bright phoenix eyes, "The craftsmanship is good."

Sinan smiled apologetically, "Thank you for the compliment."

Gao Taotao pressed his mouth with a handkerchief, and there was a little warmth in his smile, "Bring my brother here later, and let him learn this cute and cute look from you. That brother of mine, the number of times he has laughed in ten years has increased. Get up, not as long as you have now."

Although he said so on his mouth, his eyes were full of pride.

It is not difficult to see that she loves that brother very much.

Si Nan followed suit with a smile, "I have a friend who doesn't like to smile in front of outsiders, but is very soft in front of family members. Presumably, my wife's brother is also the same."

"You really understand." Gao Taotao smiled heartily, "That kid is the best at pretending. He obviously likes to eat candy balls, but he sullenly refused to eat them and stuffed them into his mouth. He was happier than anyone else."

"My friend did the same. He lied to me that he didn't like fish and that he would transform after eating it. I didn't know until later that he was afraid of thorns."

Gao Tao laughed for a while.

The two chatted back and forth about "brother" and "friend", and the more they talked, the more they hit it off.

Gao Tao said: "It's time to call those two people together and let them get to know each other."

Si Nan nodded, "The lady has become a senior member of our store, there will always be a chance to see her."

Gao Taotao nodded, "Yes, among the ten cards I issued, one is for that kid. I don't know if he likes to eat your food."

Si Nan said: "Even if he doesn't like it at first, we will try our best to help him adjust the taste until he is satisfied."

Gao Taotao covered his mouth and smiled, "My little boss really knows how to do business."

Just as he was talking speculatively, Tang Xuan opened the door and came in.

Seeing Gao Taotao, he couldn't help being taken aback.

"How did you come?"

"Why are you here?"

The two spoke at the same time.

Sinan was surprised: "You guys know each other?"

Gao Taotao was very happy, got up and pulled Tang Xuan over, "This is my brother."

Sinan grabbed his other arm, "This is my friend too."
