Yangcheng

Tang Jianwei disappeared after lunch. Seeing Zitan busy in the yard, Tong Shaoxuan asked her where Tang Jianwei had gone, but Zitan thought she was asking too much:

"At this time, Sanniang is naturally busy in the shop. Today, I made an appointment with the foreman of the kitchen drainage after the renovation. If you want to find her, go to the shop and have a look."

Drainage in the back kitchen, do you need to find someone else?

Tong Shaoxuan immediately took Guy Shi to the West Market, stopped Weihua before Tang saw that she wasted money, and politely asked the foreman to leave.

After the person left, Tang Jianwei asked her curiously:

"You took my foreman away, what about my back kitchen?"

Tong Shaoxuan picked up the big box and said with a smile: "You just sit here and be the boss. I can transform it in the evening, and I will definitely not delay dinner."

Tang Jianwei knew that Tong Shaoxuan was good at engineering, but digging waterways not only required knowledge of mechanics, but also physical labor.

When the Bao family was here before, the waterway was blocked in such a mess that the water could not be drained out at all. Over time, they stopped repairing it and let the waterway be blocked.

The shop is handed over to Tang Jianwei, and other places are easy to renovate, but this waterway is too disturbing.

She asked someone to come and see it before, and the foreman said that the waterway had been blocked for too long, and it would be more difficult to unblock than digging a new one, and the original waterway was too old, and the pipe might burst at any time, so she suggested that she dig a new one. of.

Tang Jianwei searched for a price, and the other party offered 50 taels, which made Tang Jianwei's heart drip.

There is no way, this kind of technical work is labor-intensive and money-intensive, but it must be dug, otherwise the water will not drain out, and the shop will stink after a long time.

It's still cheap in Su County, but if you go to Boling, the price will be doubled.

50 taels, just 50 taels... Who told Tang Jianwei not to do this job.

Fortunately, Song Qiao gave her the several hundred taels returned by Shen Wulang before, otherwise the progress of the shop would not be so fast.

Who would have thought that Tong Shaoxuan could save her such a large sum of money?

Tang Jianwei was very curious about how this little weakling dug the water channel, and planned to take a sneak peek.

Before reaching the back kitchen, I heard a rapid sound of digging.

Tang Jianwei poked his head out and saw that the box had been opened, Tong Shaohang was drawing a line on the ground, and a small sheep... no, the big sheep was diligently advancing steadily along the line Tong Shaohang was drawing.

This big sheep is more than twice the size of the book pocket that helped Tong Shao hang the books before, and a large shovel is installed on the front chest, and every digging is very powerful.

The little sheep with the book in the past had a gentle smiling face, but for this big sheep, Tong Shaoxuan specially carved a pair of sharp eyes on it, making it look vicious and energetic.

Dare to love prodigy didn't do it by himself at all, he just planned on the sidelines.

How can it be so easy?

Tang Jianwei forgot to close his mouth: "When did you research this big sheep?"

"What big sheep...you know how to name it." Tong Shaoxuan smiled knowingly, "It's fine, the name Big Sheep is quite suitable for it."

When Tang Jianwei stood here for a while, the big sheep had already dug a distance of more than ten steps, and the water channel was dug very evenly. When the time came, find someone to build the bamboo pipes in and it would be over.

"Why do you need someone to build it? Can't I do it together?"

"What? Can you still build pipes?"

"...That said, I know a lot."

Tong Shaoxuan stood up and proudly puffed out his small chest. Tang Jianwei really admired him this time, and didn't want to tear things down any longer, so he praised sincerely:

"Really, our Anian not only has a small brain but also has very flexible hands, but it has saved our family a lot of money. Tell me, is there anything in this world that you don't know? How can I get married? It's so good, if you continue to be happy, I'm afraid God will be jealous."

"...Come on, Tang Jianwei, stop, it's a bit exaggerated to go on."

"Exaggeration? Where is the exaggeration?" Tang Jianwei pointed at the big sheep and said, "If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about it. Is there another person in the world who can build an automatic digging machine? Even the eldest grandson A Liao The next life will definitely be amazed, maybe even more ruthless than me!"

Tang Jianwei didn't know if he was deliberately embarrassing Tong Shaoxuan, and he boasted endlessly.

Originally, Tong Shaoxuan was thin-skinned, so he couldn't help but boast.

Presumably the big sheep was exactly the same as Tong Shaoxuan. After Tang Jianwei held him up to the sky, there was a "crackling" sound suddenly, the movement gradually became slower, and finally stopped.

Tang Jianwei: "...What's the matter? Can it be ashamed by me?"

"Oops." Tong Shaoxuan, who hadn't been airy for a long time, immediately ran to the side of the big sheep, held its two small ears, lifted its "cranium", and looked inside:

"I ran out of stone paint."

"Stone paint?"

"Well... it is powered by burning stone paint, and it will burn out soon."

"What to do after burning? Where can I buy stone paint?"

"I know where to buy it, and I know a boss. Hmm... Tang Jianwei." Tong Shaoxuan lowered his head, and said softly as if he had done something wrong, "Can I buy stones worth ten taels of silver? paint?"

"Huh? Buy it, just go and buy it."

Tang Jianwei thought she was going to say something, but it turned out that she wanted ten taels of silver. Isn't that simple?

Tang Jianwei immediately stuffed his purse into her arms: "Take it and spend it, you can spend as much as you want. This is our shop. You are digging waterways for our shop, not going out to spend time and wine. How can you get the money?" Reason for not giving?"

"What kind of extravagance, it makes me look like an uncle. And I don't need you to give me any more money." Tong Shaoxuan returned Tang Jianwei's purse,

"I didn't spend the money you gave me when I went on a spring outing. I just want to tell you, I'm going to buy stone paint for ten taels of silver. I guess it should be enough to dig the waterway. I will pay the rest of the money today. I'll give it back to you later."

"You don't have any money? So economical?"

"There's nowhere to spend it."

"A Nian is so sweet."

"...Then I'm going to buy stone paint, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

"What are you waiting for, can't I go with you?"

"Okay, if you have time, just follow me."

It's really fortunate that Tang Jianwei came with her, otherwise Tong Shaoxuan might not be able to move the bucket of stone paint.

The two worked together to pour the stone paint into the big sheep's head, and the big sheep came back to life and continued to work vigorously.

Before the sun had set, the channel was dug.Tang Jianwei explained that he would come back to build the pipes tomorrow and he would be done.

"Why wait until tomorrow, I will finish it now."

Tang Jianwei's previous exaggerated praise is really useful. To Tong Shaoxuan, her praise is like stone paint to a big sheep. As long as it is poured in, it can burst into infinite motivation.

Tong Shaoxuan laid out the bamboo pipe quickly, and supported Tang Jianwei with his numb waist to see if the water would work.

Tang Jianwei poured water into the wellhead at the back door, and the water flowed through the bamboo pipe with a splashing sound, and it was discharged all the way into the underground waterway, very smoothly.

"It's done!" Tang Jianwei walked over excitedly, "It took us only one day to repair the waterway, and it didn't cost any money! This is really a wonderful thing!"

"Who said no money was spent, didn't it cost ten taels of silver?" Tong Shaoxuan reminded her.

"It originally cost 50 taels, but it only cost ten taels. Isn't it the same as not spending any money when rounded up?"

"...You are quite resolute."

Tang Jianwei glanced at Tong Shaoxuan's face, suppressed a smile, took out his handkerchief and said to her, "Don't move, little cat."

"Huh?" Tong Shaoxuan saw that she was going to wipe his face, and realized that his face was dirty.

"Just don't move." Tang Jianwei leaned forward and carefully wiped off the mud on her face.

Tong Shaoxuan looked away unnaturally, Tang Jian smiled and said to her:

"Didn't you block me in the bamboo forest? Why are you shy again now?"

"That's different..."

"What's the difference?"

"I'm thin-skinned, but I'm powerful when I should be."

"Yes, today I have seen the excellence of the prodigy in Su County. I don't know if other places are also so capable."

"... What nonsense are you talking about again!"

"...What are you thinking about?"

After the waterway is repaired, Tang Jianwei also recruits workers, and the shop can be opened some day.

Although the market is affected by the curfew, there is no night market on weekdays, but in addition to barbecue skewers at night, Tang Jianwei can sell a lot of food during the day.

She has already planned that when everyone goes to work in the morning, she will mainly sell fried dough sticks and egg-filled pancakes.

First, let's see how the breakfast is sold in the market. After all, there are many people nearby who need to work in the market and also eat breakfast. There is only her restaurant around, and there must be a lot of customers coming and going.

If she couldn't sell it earlier, she would continue to go back to Jingyangfang to support the stall, and after the earlier business was over, she would return to the market to open.

Grilled skewers will definitely continue to be sold. There is no doubt that grilled skewers are definitely popular all year round, no matter morning, noon or evening.

Not to mention that whenever there are holidays, she can sell them all night long, and then it will be a golden opportunity.

In addition to grilled skewers and tapas wine, she plans to add some delicious and special home-cooked dishes.

Firstly, the price should be affordable by ordinary people, and the business of civilians will start slowly, which is also in line with the characteristics of the flow of people in this market.

When the capital at hand is more abundant, then go to the county to choose a location to open a restaurant.

This is Tang Jianwei's plan in recent years.

On the last day of the first month and the last night of the evening market, Tang Jianwei went out to sell skewers as usual. Taking advantage of the regular customers, she wrote the news of the opening of "Tongjia Food Shop" on the signboard.

Whenever someone asks, she patiently repeats the location of Tong's restaurant over and over again, and even guarantees that there will be rewarding activities after the restaurant opens.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Wang, Pei Gong, Aunt Qin... Thank you all the neighbors for your care, I will definitely come to play on the day of the opening."

When Tong Shaoxuan came to the stall, seeing Tang Jianwei meeting people, he said, his mouth was dry, he opened a big bag, and scattered a table of small purses out.

"What is this?" Tang Jianwei picked up a purse, and saw that the purse was sewn with red cloth, with a golden word "Hi" written on the front, and the address of Tong's Food Shop on the back.

The handwriting is delicate and familiar, Tang Jianwei knew it was written by Tong Shaoxuan.

There are so many purses written clearly on each purse, so it can't be the sheep who did it, right?

"This is for your old customers." Tong Shaoxuan said, "It contains sugar."

"Our wedding candy?" Tang Jianwei teased deliberately.

"...What the hell, I'm afraid you said that no matter how many times you go back to people's homes, you may not be able to remember where the shop is. Everyone will definitely grab the free candies. The cost is not a few cents, and the opening of the new shop has also been advertised. The address The date and time are clearly written, so they don’t need to memorize it, so they can find it directly when the time comes.”

"Madam is really smart, why can't I think of such a good method?"

Tang Jianwei's biggest advantage is her sweet mouth. As long as others think of her, she will spare no effort to praise people who are good to her to the sky.

"Come on, you are too busy, you don't have time to calm down and think about it. Even if you think about it, you don't have time to do it." Tong Shaoxuan said in a rather casual tone,

"My vacation is coming to an end, and I'm going back to the academy soon, and you won't be able to catch me by then. While there's still a little time left, it's still idle, why don't you do something for our shop."

Tang Jian smiled slightly, leaned forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and greeted the guests to come and receive a small gift after paying the bill.

"Is the handwriting sour?" After Tang Jianwei handed the small purse to Aunt Qin, he looked behind Tong Shaoxuan, "I'll rub it for you at night?"

Tong Shaoxuan kept her hands behind her back all the time, just to make it easier for her to move around from time to time, without Tang Jianwei noticing.

Sour, really sour, can you write so many words without being sour?

Since she was a child, she had never written so many words in one breath, except that the husband of the academy was punished for copying.

"It's not sour. Besides, Ji Xue and Qiu Xin sewed the purse together for me. I just write. It doesn't take much effort."

It's one thing to expose it, but quite another to admit it.

"I can write a hundred more if you want."

Tang Jianwei looked at her proud little face, feeling itchy in his heart, and wanted to bite down hard until she cried out in pain.

After calming down his beastly thoughts, Tang Jianwei said:

"No need, you bring this hill, whatever you want is enough."

Before the words were finished for a quarter of an hour, the hill was leveled.

Tang Jianwei already had a lot of diners, so when he came here to sit down and eat or to take away, as long as he saw the little purse, he would feel it was extremely fresh. Hearing that it was free of charge, there was no reason not to take it away?

One for each person, and some people brought them for the family. After Tang Jianwei's consent, they all started, and the little purses were cleaned up in a blink of an eye.

Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan: "..."

"I, go back and make some more." Tong Shaoxuan really underestimated the popularity of this small stall.

Tang Jianwei hurriedly grabbed her: "Stop writing, do you still want this hand?"

"It's okay, soon! I'll ask Ye Niang, my brother, my sister, and Uncle Chai to help! Come back soon!"

Tong Shaoxuan ran home enthusiastically, Tang Jianwei looked at her back, feeling helpless and moved, the sense of belonging that could be relied on once again occupied her heart.

An hour later, when the business of the grilled skewers was in full swing, Tong Shaoxuan and Ji Xue each brought a bag and dumped the small lotus bag in the bag. are all attracted.

"What is this? What a beautiful purse. Is it wedding candy, Boss Tang?"

This time it was Tang Jian who was slightly embarrassed: "No, no, I'm married, and this is my wife. Isn't our Tong's restaurant going to open in West Market soon? My wife specially made a small purse, inside It’s a few candies, and the address on the back is the address and opening time of Tong’s Food Shop, you can pick them up as you like, and remember to join us when the time comes.”

Tang Jianwei seized the great opportunity to do his best to publicize, and Tong Shaoxuan directly grabbed the purse and stuffed it into everyone's arms.

While stuffing it, he greeted people: "You are welcome, everyone, take it. You must come to join us when the time comes."

Such an exquisite and cute little purse, you don't need money to take it casually, a large pile just delivered, half of it scattered in the blink of an eye.

Tang Jianwei felt distressed looking at it, but Tong Shaoxuan was very happy: "Don't be so sad, Tang Jianwei, when the time comes, the business will be prosperous, isn't it good?"

"Yes, yes, but your hand..."

"Why do you dislike my long-windedness usually, why are you also long-winded now? This is not like you."

"Hey, really, two people will influence each other after being together for a long time. How could you greet people before, but now you are so smooth when you are influenced by me. As for me, I am infected with your long-winded problem. I am afraid that it will be a while. It won't change for a while."

"I dare say that what you affect me is a good thing, and what I infect you is a bad thing?"

"It's not impossible if you understand it that way."

Tong Shaoxuan was about to pinch Tang Jianwei's waist, but Tang Jianwei didn't expect her to do it, so he hid with a low smile:

"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, so many people are watching, it's shameless!"

There were rare times when Tang Jianwei was embarrassed, but at this time, all the old customers who knew her were sitting in the stall. Seeing the two young wives flirting, she said cheerfully:

"You two young couples continue to fight, we don't look at it, we look at it through our fingers."

Tang Jianwei: "..."

After the night market closed, Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan were exhausted, and returned to their bedroom after cleaning.

The bedroom, which had been lonely and cold for several days, suddenly became warm and soft again because of Tong Shaoxuan's return.

When Tang Jianwei entered the room after taking a shower, Tong Shaoxuan was pouring hot water into Mrs. Tang.

"Did you secretly hug my Mrs. Tang while I was away?" Tong Shaoxuan asked her, "I found my Mrs. Tang from your bed."

"Mrs. Tang all look alike, how about you and me?"

"It's not the same. My Mrs. Tang is old. She grew up with me, and she was hugged brightly by me. Yours is new." Tong Shaoxuan looked back and smiled at her, "Sleeping alone, Is it cold?"

Tang Jianwei sat in front of the charcoal basin and coaxed his hair: "Aren't you cold? Or are you sleeping alone these few days?"

"..."

I haven't seen him for a few days, and Tang Jianwei's mouth is a little hard to guard against.

Stay cold tonight!Tang Pozi won't give it to you either!

Tong Shaoxuan made up his mind, tonight she will have two Mrs. Tang!

This end had just made up his mind, and as soon as the other end entered the bed, Tang Jianwei naturally climbed onto her.

"Hey! Why are you here again!" Tong Shaoxuan was pressed down by her, and he didn't have a hand to take Tang Pozi.

"Huh? Ma'am is back, do you still have to endure the freezing weather?" Tang Jianwei closed his eyes comfortably and comfortably in Tong Shaoxuan's warm embrace, without shivering at all.

"Is it uncomfortable to hold me?"

"..."

Comfortable is comfortable, but... what is this?Do the sisters keep each other warm without any waves?

Tang Jianwei missed Tong Shaoxuan's arms for a long time, and nestled into her arms again, as if she was born since then, and this is her hometown.

Tang Jianwei soon fell asleep, and this was the most peaceful night she had slept in ten days.

After Tong Shaoxuan heard that her breathing became even, he bent his arms and gently stroked her head.

Tang Jianwei seemed to feel her touch in his dream, raised his head slightly, and rubbed against her palm.

They are all asleep, why are you still so seductive?

The numb feeling spread from the palm to Tong Shaoxuan's heart. Tong Shaoxuan clenched his hands tightly, closed his eyes, and tried his best to pass through the essays that he had conceived a frame in his mind, and let the fiery meaning come out of his chest. Squeeze out.

Correcting the posture made Tang Jianwei sleep more comfortably, and at the same time was warmed by her, and soon fell into a dreamless darkness.

After that, Tong Shaoxuan called on the whole family to make purses every day.

The candy in the purse can be filled with copper plates after eating, which is quite practical, and everyone likes it very much. It is also festive to hang, and it is very convenient to carry it with you when you go out to buy groceries.

Small purses were all the rage in Su County for a while.

The official opening day of Tong's Restaurant was chosen the day before a public holiday, and it could be open all night. Tong Shaoxuan rushed from the academy to the West Market early.

Ge Xunqing and the others also went together.

No need for Tong Shaoxuan to say, Ge Xunqing has a happy purse in her hand:

"Sister-in-law's move is so powerful, almost everyone in Su County has a share."

Tong Shaoxuan originally wanted to say that this was my idea, but Ge Xunqing praised Tang Jianwei, and she felt very comfortable listening to it, so she didn't refute it.

"You must come tonight, I'm treating you." Tong Shaoxuan said.

Ge Xunqing said: "Needless to say, we will also go, but you don't need to treat guests. Today is the grand opening, we have to enjoy the joy of your family, I want to spend money! Let me spend money!"

When the three of them were walking out, they suddenly stopped and looked back, looking for Shi Ruzhuo.

"Where's the Jade Attacker?"

"Weren't you still here just now? Why did you disappear in the blink of an eye?"

As she was speaking, seeing Shi Ruzhuo walking out of the academy gate slowly, Ge Xunqing went up to stop her:

"What are you doing? So slow."

"Huh? Are you waiting for me?"

"...Otherwise? Didn't you agree to go to Changsi's new shop for supper tonight?"

"Can I go with you?"

"Of course! We've already said we're friends!" Ge Xunqing warmly took her arm and said with a hearty smile, "Good friends just want to eat delicious food and drink spicy food together! Let's go, I invite you and Bai Erniang Changsi, you don’t need me to invite you? My sister-in-law can’t even fill it in for you.”

Tong Shaoxuan: "...don't use words indiscriminately."

Shi Ruzhuo was very happy: "Then I'll go home and tell my aunt."

"It's just on the way, let's go together."

The four of them walked towards the West Market happily and having fun.

Ge Xunqing found that today Shi Ruzhuo was still fragrant, with the fragrance of acacia she liked on her body.

Ever since she was mocked face to face, Shi Ruzhuo began to pay attention to herself. Even though she didn’t even have a decent hairpin and her skirt was washed, it had become her habit to take a bath and wipe herself every day—even with cold water, she would Don't allow yourself to have an unpleasant smell on your body.

She didn't realize it before, and she didn't need to care. After all, she was always alone, and no one wanted to talk to her.

But it's different now, Ge Xunqing and the others come back to chat with her from time to time, and they will call her wherever they go to play. She has friends now, and she doesn't want these friends who take care of her to dislike her and stay away from her.

Shi Ruzhuo was held by Ge Xunqing like this, Tong Shaoxuan and Bai Erniang walked in front, the four of them crossed the street, laughing heartily from time to time.

Ge Xunqing was much taller than Shi Ruzhuo, and felt a little uncomfortable after holding her for a long time, so she changed the action of holding her arms to hugging her neck.

Shi Ruzhuo had never been hugged like this before, his face was a little hot, but he still leaned obediently in her arms.

When she was happy, she didn't realize that there was a pair of eyes staring at her for a long time in the darkness...

The man silently looked at Shi Ruzhuo's smiling face amidst the bustling lights, and followed her to Tong's Restaurant in West Market.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tang Jianwei: Sister?What sister?

Tong Shaoxuan: Am I the only one who remembers the matter of daring to love?

Tang Jianwei: Oh, child prodigy, you should have a good memory.My memory is much worse.I don't remember any sisters, I only remember the warmth of my daughter-in-law.

Tong Shaoxuan: ...?
