Trivial Skin of Rebirth

As the weather got colder, Malatang's business got better and better.Ye Jiawen has succeeded. People are always very enthusiastic about new food. After eating it, they spread the word quickly. More and more people come here because of the name. Every night, the queue has to line up more than ten meters. Not only the students , Even the faculty and staff in the school came here to eat, and the nearby residents also came to join in the fun at night. I heard that some people came all the way to eat by car after being introduced by friends.

Seeing that Ye Jiawen's business was doing so well, a person from a fried noodle stall came to ask for the secret recipe and wanted to share a share of the pie.Ye Jiawen didn't agree right away, and discussed with Zhang Yuanxin what to do when he pushed the cart back at night.

Zhang Yuanxin said: "It's not impossible to teach them the method. Let them spend money to buy them, and equip them with boilers and cars. Even the secret recipe and boiler, 800 yuan per person, is also a way to make money. Our business is so good, it must be There will be a lot of people who want to buy it, eight hundred for one, so make more money!"

Ye Jiawen said: "1000 yuan is too cheap, at least [-] yuan. They can earn back [-] yuan in more than half a month."

Zhang Yuanxin laughed and said, "Okay, one thousand is good, you can really make money." Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the road at night, he leaned over to Ye Jiawen's side, touched his crotch ambiguously, and said, "What do you mean?" Why is this thing so useless for you, you are so good at housekeeping, if you can use more of this, brother, I will reluctantly accept you as a child and serve me every day."

Ye Jiawen rolled his eyes: "Hey, go find a rolling pin and play with yourself. I have my family, Xiang Qingyun, and I don't even want you to stick to me."

Zhang Yuanxin pinched him viciously, and as a result, the two went back noisily all the way.

But after going back, Ye Jiawen spent the whole night carefully counting it up, and decided not to sell it.If you sell it now, what you are selling is just technology. To be honest, this technology is not worth much. Malatang is not a snack invented by them, but a slight modification on the basis of Sichuan snacks. People who have a little cooking skills can get the original recipe. You can change it yourself, maybe it tastes better than them.And if he sells things to others now, others can sell them to other people, and he can't control it if he wants to.In the future, even if the Malatang all over the street is spread from him, it has nothing to do with him.

It's not that it can't be sold, but it can't be sold now. It will be sold after it has become famous. At that time, it will not only sell technology, but mainly a brand.For example, Haoda Chicken Chop, which was all the rage later, joined Haoda, who really wants to learn fried chicken skills from Haoda, or is it because the name is famous, and some people buy it for this name? Things, so everyone has to join.When I have enough money to rent a shop and open a Chuan Chuan Xiang Malatang, I can go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register the name. After the name of Chuan Chuanxiang becomes popular, even if the streets are full of Malatang, there are still people who are willing to join with money and want to be honored by this name. .

So when the fried noodle seller came to ask again the next day, Ye Jiawen politely refused, and hurriedly looked around the school for news of shops for rent.

At the beginning of October, Xiang Qingyun made a phone call with Xiang Hairong who had just given birth, and Ye Jiawen listened with concern.Xiang Hairong's mother and child are safe, and the newborn boy is named Xiang Xiaolong.Xiang Hairong is in confinement, and Xiang Xiaolong has been sent to her grandmother's house to hide temporarily.It was originally intended to be handed over to grandparents to take them to the countryside, but grandparents are now with their daughter-in-law and have no time to take care of them, so they had to hide at grandma's house first.

When Ye Jiawen was listening to the phone at the side, he wanted to pick up the phone several times and ask him in person, but he held back.At this time, he probably didn't know Xiang Hairong yet, so it was too strange to strike up a conversation for no reason.

In his previous life, Xiang Xiaolong was sent here when he was three or four years old.The child can speak, it's time to receive education, to go to kindergarten, and he didn't even have a registered permanent residence, so he had no choice but to quickly take over and pass it on to Xiang Qingyun and the others.Don't look at children as young, three or four years old, they can already speak and have their own ideas.When he first arrived in S City, Ye Jiawen and Xiang Qingyun were worried that he would cry, but he didn't cry at all, he was just withdrawn and ignored others.Let him go out to play with the children nearby, and he just squats beside and watches others play without participating.At the earliest time, he ignored Ye Jiawen at all, and he didn't talk to Ye Jiawen until a month later. The first sentence he said was: "Grandma said you are a bad person." The second sentence was: "You are not bad."

In Xiang Xiaolong's perception, he was abandoned by his parents.Xiang Hairong gave birth to him by accident. For her husband's job and for the whole family to have something to eat, this child was destined not to live with his parents in an open and aboveboard manner.After weaning, he was taken by grandma and grandpa for a while, grandpa and grandma for a while, and rarely picked up by his parents. His mother hugged him and cried for a while, and then sent him away again.So he doesn't cry or make trouble, but that doesn't mean he isn't sad.

Although Xiang Xiaolong is considered to be Xiang Qingyun's eldest nephew and has no blood relationship with Ye Jiawen, it may be because Ye Jiawen will never have a child of his own in this life, and it may be that this child looks very similar to Xiang Qingyun , he really loves Xiang Xiaolong as his own son.Children are divided into good and bad, and he knows who is good to him. Although he still doesn't talk to Ye Jiawen very much, his attitude is no longer so repulsive.When Xiang Xiaolong first arrived, it was the time when Ye Jiawen and Xiang Qingyun lived the most comfortable life. They bought a house, had spare money at home, and didn’t have to worry about buying meat dishes, so Ye Jiawen loved Xiang Xiaolong very much, and gave him all the toys Buy the best and most expensive.Later, their family fell into decline, and Xiang Xiaolong followed them to endure hardships. There is a saying that children from poor families are in charge of the family early, and Xiang Xiaolong is really sensible. When he was in elementary school, he helped people deliver milk, newspapers, etc. to earn some coins and pocket money. Once he saved enough 50 yuan with great difficulty, and took it out to Ye Jiawen to tell Ye Jiawen that he would subsidize his family.

But Xiang Xiaolong has not always been so good. Anyone who has raised children knows that children are the most annoying for a while-the rebellious period.

Xiang Xiaolong's rebellious period was also very strong. He used to know half of what happened to Xiang Qingyun and Ye Jiawen, but when he was thirteen or fourteen, he already understood everything.During the rebellious period, he began to become cynical, and learned to smoke with bad gangsters, and his grades plummeted.He hated the world, hated everyone, hated the parents who abandoned him, hated the teachers at school who liked to trouble him, hated the two men who lived with him every day and adopted him.He started arguing with the two fathers, and at the height of the argument, he pointed at them as disgusting gays and played runaways.This was the most worrying time for Ye Jiawen.

When Xiang Xiaolong grew a year or two older, he became less sharp, and gradually became obedient again, stopped smoking, and stopped making bad friends.But in the past, Ye Jiawen and Xiang Qingyun would be called Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye. During this period of time, he stopped calling them that, and often used "Hello" instead, or simply called them by their first names.Xiang Qingyun told him several times because of this, but Ye Jiawen didn't even mention him, because he really felt sorry for Xiang Xiaolong, and made this innocent child suffer a lot of stares outside with them.

One morning, Ye Jiawen and Xiang Xiaolong quarreled again.The reason was that Xiang Xiaolong had an airplane model, which he made himself in the labor class, and when he was playing with his classmates, it fell apart, so he took it back and prepared to repair it.Ye Jiawen saw a pile of broken parts, thought it was a broken toy, and threw it away.After Xiang Xiaolong couldn't find anything, he asked Ye Jiawen. Ye Jiawen told him that he lost it, so he lost his temper and smashed a bowl casually.That day, Xiang Qingtian had gone to work early and was not at home. After Xiang Xiaolong and Ye Jiawen had a big fight, he put his schoolbag on his back and ran away angrily.Ye Jiawen looked at the pieces of the smashed bowl on the ground, feeling sad and wronged, couldn't help crying.He happened to have no class in the university in the morning, so he cleaned up the broken pieces first, and then went to the trash can to find out the parts of the airplane model one by one, washed them clean, glued them together, and put them on Xiang Xiaolong's desk , and then go out.When Xiang Xiaolong came back at night, he didn't leave the room. He came out after calling him several times at dinner time. His eyes were a little red. He glanced at Ye Jiawen, and then quickly looked away.After dinner, Ye Jiawen smoked on the balcony, followed Xiang Xiaolong, stood behind him for a while, and said softly, "Dad, I'm sorry."

From then on, Xiang Xiaolong began to call Ye Jiawen and Xiang Qingyun father.

Ye Jiawen said to Xiang Qingyun: "Shall we buy some toys for Xiaolong? Or give him some gifts? Let's seal a red envelope!"

Xiang Qingyun looked at him in surprise: "Why are you so happy?"

Ye Jiawen rolled his eyes: "I'm just happy, little dragon, little dragon, leaping like a dragon, how famous he is, and he will definitely be a good boy in the future."

Seeing him like this, Xiang Qingyun couldn't help laughing: "Do you like children very much? Otherwise, we will adopt one in the future."

Ye Jiawen thought about the children of Xiang Qingyun's younger brothers and sisters, curled his lips: "I don't like all of them. Even Xiang Xiaolong, I feel that I have a special destiny. I like it after hearing the name."

Xiang Qingyun embraced him and kissed him: "From then on, I will find a way to make this child recognize you as a godfather! By the way, I happen to be going on a business trip to Province A in a few days, so I'll stop by to see Eldest Sister and Xiaolong, Take some photos for you."

Ye Jiawen's eyes lit up immediately: "Okay, okay, I'll buy some toys for you to bring to Xiaolong."

When Xiang Qingyun was on a business trip, it happened that Zhang Yuanxin was sick these few days, so Ye Jiawen had to push the cart to the stall alone at night.Their Malatang business has many repeat customers. Some people like this taste. They come out to eat it every night as dinner. They will also give Ye Jiawen and the others a lot of suggestions on what ingredients to add. Mixed.

That night, Ye Jiawen was alone, and he had to collect money and order food to cook. He was in a hurry and ordered the wrong food twice in a row. He added the spinach for A to B's bowl, which made the customer unhappy.Ye Jiawen had no choice but to apologize and apologize, either to refund the money, or to cook a new one.Just when he was in a state of desperation, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed his wrist.Ye Jiawen turned his head, and saw a man who looked about 27 or [-] years old smiled at him: "You're mistaken again, the kelp is not in this bowl." He grabbed his hand and moved it over another colander, "It's here of."

The person he was talking to was also a regular customer for the past two months, and he would come to eat at least three times a week, and Ye Jiawen already recognized him.In fact, Ye Jiawen noticed this person the first time he came to him. The young man has red lips and white teeth, a high nose bridge, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that are very attractive, just like a TV star.While eating Malatang, female students had struck up a conversation with him a few times, but Ye Jiawen didn't pay attention to the result of the flirtation.

The man took the colander in his hand and squeezed him aside: "You collect the money, and I will help you."

Ye Jiawen was dumbfounded, but the man had already deftly dropped the skewers into the colander.A student queuing up shouted: "I want tribute balls, fish balls, kelp, spinach..." The man grabbed the ingredients he had reported and put them in the pot, and poked Ye Jiawen with his elbow: "Why are you standing still? Take the money." Ye Jiawen had never seen such a familiar person before, he didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly took the money handed over by others, counted the change and returned it.

With someone's help, Ye Jiawen's movements were much faster.After cooking a few orders, Ye Jiawen found that this person was doing pretty well, and he didn't seem to have any evil intentions, so he was relieved and asked him while counting the money: "What's your name?"

The man raised his hand to wipe off the sweat from the heat, and said, "Lu Qing."

Ye Jiawen and Lu Qing were busy until eleven o'clock in the evening, and there were still many people queuing up to eat, but the ingredients brought out were sold out, and the people had to disperse in disappointment.Ye Jiawen rolled up his short sleeves and wiped the oily sweat off his face, and asked Lu Qing with a smile, "How can I thank you?"

Lu Qing pointed to the remaining strings, and asked in surprise, "Didn't you leave this for me?"

Ye Jiawen said, "It's for you, uh..."

Lu Qing smiled and said: "That's enough, how can you thank me? Show me your body?" He looked Ye Jiawen up and down with a smile on his face, "I can think about it."

Ye Jiawen was a bit sensitive when he said that because he was gay, but he also knew it was a joke, smiled awkwardly, and cooked the remaining few skewers.

The two sat on the curb with bowls in their hands, Lu Qing ate Malatang, Ye Jiawen accompanied him, and he didn't eat it himself.Lu Qing asked him, "Why don't you eat?"

Ye Jiawen said: "I cook this every day, and my body smells like this. I don't even have an appetite."

Lu Qing smiled, and asked him while wiping his sweat, "Why are you alone today, and where are your other two partners?"

Ye Jiawen said, "One is sick, and the other is on a business trip."

Lu Qing glanced at him with some surprise: "Business trip? I thought you were still students in this school, and you came out to work and study."

Ye Jiawen thought to himself, I'm already 37.He laughed and said, "It's been a year since I graduated from college."

"What school did you graduate from?"

"B is big."

"Oh? How do you do this after graduating from college? What major do you study?"

"It's not easy for those who study civil engineering, come out and earn some extra money."

"Civil engineering?" Lu Qing raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Then we are still colleagues, and I also study civil engineering." Facing the campus of University A behind him, he pursed his lips, "This is where I graduated."

"Ah," Ye Jiawen said, "University A's civil engineering major is very good. I wanted to take the exam before, but I didn't pass."

Lu Qing stuffed a fish ball in his mouth, puffed his cheeks, and looked at Ye Jiawen thoughtfully: "I have started a small company myself, and I do both real estate and construction. What do you do during the day?"

Ye Jiawen gave him a surprised look.Run a company?It looks young, but the real person does not show his face.He didn't talk about his situation, but asked, "Oh? What company do you run?"

Lu Qing swallowed the fish balls: "Golden Star Real Estate Co., Ltd."

Ye Jiawen was stunned for a moment.Venus! Fifteen years from now, the all-powerful bigwig with assets of hundreds of billions is sitting next to him and eating his own cooked Mala Tang!
