jade carver

Cheng Ye and the others were a little surprised by Hu Yang's arrival, but Hu Xiaoyuan said that it would be meaningless for them to refuse for this reason, and the brothers readily agreed.They are quite familiar with Hu Yang, especially Cheng Ye, Hu Yang often visited Lao Xia when he lived on the farm, and even had a good relationship with him.On Cheng Ye's birthday, Hu Yang even put in a lot of thought and made a bracelet for him.

Hu Xiaoyuan and Hu Yang have a very good relationship, walking with everyone and chatting about his brother along the way, showing a kind of admiration for his brother in his words. "My brother is very ambitious! At the beginning, my uncle valued him a lot and wanted him to help out in our family, but my brother just refused and insisted on trying it himself! Hey, don't tell me, my brother It’s just a person, try to make money, haha! My uncle and the others were not happy at first, but after hearing that my brother has this ability, they became nice to him again! Hey, if my brother also makes money, tsk! Guaranteed It's even stronger than it is now..."

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask, why doesn't your brother dump the jade?" Xu Junjie asked while looking at the old jade wares in the antique city.

Hu Xiaoyuan scratched his ears, "My brother and my grandpa don't get along, and the two of us have conflicts when we meet. My grandpa is a man with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, but my brother just won't give in first! The two of them choked up... "

Yun Yifei had heard of the name of the old man of the Hu family. He didn't know if he had a tofu heart, but this knife mouth lived up to its reputation.

It was the first time Cheng Ye heard that the well-mannered Populus euphratica would quarrel with others, and that he was an elder. He felt a little unbelievable, and asked, "Impossible? Populus euphratica has a very gentle personality. I haven't seen him blush with anyone."

Hu Xiaoyuan groaned for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence, "There are exceptions to everything..."

A few people walked around all morning, but they didn't pick up anything.Among them, the wealthy ones looked down on the low-end goods here, and thought the things were interesting, but they were reluctant to spend money on them.

The little fat man couldn't help being hungry. He started looking at his watch before ten o'clock, and started urging everyone to eat every 10 minutes. "Brother Xu, let's go and order food first? Brother Cheng is also tired. Are you hungry too? Hey, I came out in such a hurry in the morning that everyone didn't have enough to eat, so I'm so hungry..."

Senior brother Xu Junjie didn't expose him, and nodded to let Hu Xiaoyuan lead the way, "Sure, let's go first! Do you know the way?"

Hu Xiaoyuan nodded in response, "I know! My brother said, it's the biggest restaurant on this street!"

There are a lot of snacks on the antique street, but there are not many restaurants.It looks dilapidated here, but the housing price is not ambiguous at all, and it is not much better than the city center.Among the two or three restaurants here, the largest one is called Xianzanxian.With the word "fresh" in the name, it is naturally a seafood business.The fish soup in this restaurant can be said to be a must. If you come here and don't drink a bowl, you will be considered a loss.

Fatty Hu led a few people into the private room with ease, but it was only a private room separated by vines and wood, and there was no concealment at all.The decoration in this restaurant is a bit shabby, but there are still not many tables vacant, and I saw a lot of people coming here to eat fresh food.Cheng Ye and the others were sitting, and the little fat man took Yun Yifei to the lobby to order live fish. He knew that Yun Yifei was also a fish eater, so the two of them could take care of everyone's taste after discussing it.

The lobby looks like an aquatic product store, where pots of live fish and live shrimps are placed there for anyone to choose from, but when they are selected, the chef will directly cover the fish with a net and pick it up, saying "Okay!" Picked into the kitchen, but also with a very local roughness.

After a while, Hu Xiaoyuan and the others came back, but two of them went out, but there were three of them when they came back.Hu Yang followed them into the room with a smile. He wore a pair of thin metal-rimmed glasses and a well-tailored suit, which made him look more refined and refined. He didn't look like a businessman, but a scholar with a scroll in his hand.

"I was afraid that Xiao Yuan would not be able to do things smoothly, so I wanted to remind him again. I didn't expect that he had already brought everyone. The next time I treat guests to dinner, I must ask Xiao Yuan to invite them. He only cares most when he is doing this. !"

Xu Junjie was about the same age as Hu Yang. Seeing him coming in, he quickly stood up and shook hands with him, with a friendly look, "Well, Xiao Yuan is smart! The teachers in the training class always praise him!"

The twins also smiled and came forward to say hello to Hu Yang. The store opened by Hu Yang in the provincial capital is not far from them. The brothers often receive small gifts from Hu Yang.Of course, these gifts must also have Cheng Ye's share.

Hu Yang came in and looked at everyone first, and after finding Cheng Ye, his eyes became softer. "Cheng Ye, long time no see."

Cheng Ye was not very good at talking, so he only smiled when he saw him.Hu Yang didn't care at all, the time he spent with Cheng Ye was not short, intermittent, from the farm to the provincial capital, almost throughout Cheng Ye's teenage years.Hu Yang knew that Cheng Ye was a stuffy person, and he was used to him being quiet and easy-going.

When the two of them were together, Hu Yang would always speak first, watching Cheng Ye nod in agreement or shake his head to consider, and slowly join the conversation.Hu Yang liked this child very much, and felt that chatting with Cheng Ye was a particularly comfortable thing.Although, they don't have much to say.

After a while, the fish was served, but there were three bowls per person.A bowl of milky white fish soup, dotted with a few fresh green onions, has a tangy aroma; a bowl of deep-fried sauce-flavored fish makes your mouth water when you smell it; another bowl is white and tender. There is not a single big thorn, and it is white and moist, like a piece of tofu.

Hu Yang signaled everyone to have a sip of soup first. He has eaten here several times, and he has figured out the rules of eating fish here.Hu Yang was not as refined and elegant as he was wearing when he was eating, he just held a bowl in his hand and put it directly to his mouth to drink, smiling brightly, "This soup should be drunk while it is hot, taste it carefully, it still has a slight milky fragrance sweet."

Cheng Ye and the others also served a bowl to taste, but the twin brothers buried their heads in picking the scallions carefully, their little faces almost wrinkled into a ball, they don't like to eat this the most.Yun Yifei gave them a spoon and an empty bowl, and coughed, "I'm sorry, I saw you eating pancakes with chopped green onions last time, and thought you could eat this too..."

Xu Xiaowen took the spoon, skimmed off the scattered scallions after a few spoonfuls, drank a mouthful of soup and replied inarticulately, "Pancakes are sweet, you can eat anything!" He took another sip, and sure enough, he tasted a A little bit of sweetness, hurriedly called Xu Xiaowu to drink quickly. "Xiao Wu, sweet!"

Xu Xiaowu was a little less particular than his elder brother, he fiddled with it a few times, and then drank it from the bowl, then nodded with a smile on his face, "It's really sweet!"

Hu Yang laughed, and turned his head to ask Cheng Ye, "Why, don't you usually let Xiaowen and Xiaowu eat sweets? It's okay for children to eat some sweets. When they grow up, you may not be willing to eat if you insist on it." .”

Cheng Ye smiled when he saw the twins, and explained to Hu Yang, "We usually let them eat, but these two days they kept complaining about toothache, and they didn't let us take a look, so they dare not let them continue to eat."

Hu Yang nodded, but seeing how the twins could eat and drink, they couldn't see anything that looked like their teeth were decayed.After guessing, he tried to ask again, "Maybe it's just that you are not acclimatized to the outside world, and you are a little angry?"

The twin brothers of the Xu family immediately agreed and nodded vigorously when they heard it. If their mouths were not full of food, they would definitely answer loudly.

"How about that, I'll take them to the dentist after dinner, it's also near here, not far away..."

The twins turned pale with fright, their little heads wished they could turn into rattles!Children in the world have two common problems, one is that they like to eat sweets, and the other is that they hate seeing a doctor the most.

Xu Junjie is the elder brother, and he watched the twins grow up, so he immediately made decisions for them, "Alright, let's go after dinner! Xiaowen, Xiaowu, hurry up and eat."

The twins ate the fish with tears in their eyes, but it was not so delicious when they swallowed it.

These three bowls of fish are eaten with each other, and the bowl of white and tender fish is the staple food, and the bowl of fat head fish with sauce is extraordinarily sweet.They are not expensive fish, and I don't know what ancestral method the chef used, but those who are so fragrant can't wait to swallow them with their tongues.Cheng Ye had a small appetite, and he ate almost all of the three bowls. Xu Junjie and Hu Xiaoyuan even ate the second bowl and chomped.

Cheng Ye still had the smell of fish in his mouth, and as he licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue, he couldn't help but think of Li Rui.Li Rui was caught by a fishbone when he was a child, and he hated eating fish the most. The fish here is crispy and fragrant, and there are few thorns. Maybe you can bring Li Rui to try it next time, maybe you can eat two more bites...

"Cheng Ye, what are you thinking?" Hu Yang took the handkerchief and handed it to him, the eyes behind the glasses were as gentle as ever, like a big brother who is considerate. "Let me guess, is it about the training class? Your next subject will be fish?"

Cheng Ye wanted to shake his head, but hesitated for a moment, then nodded.In the past few years, he has grown up, and he also knows that the matter between him and Li Rui cannot be said. Subconsciously, he always tries to hide it as much as possible, and dare not let anyone pry it out.It doesn't matter to him, but Li Rui must not make any mistakes.With this in mind, Cheng Ye was also very careful when talking to Hu Yang, not daring to mention the person in his heart.

"Yes, the teacher said that everyone will make a jade seal in the end. I thought about carving 'Fish and Dragon Transformation'." Cheng Ye answered Hu Yang carefully and cautiously.He was not very good at hiding his thoughts, so he could only speak as little as possible, answering a few half-truths, for fear that Hu Yang would see the clues.

Hu Yang didn't care about this, the smile on his face remained the same, he took a piece of fruit for Cheng Ye, and discussed with him, "Have the ingredients been prepared? I also happened to have a few new pieces of material, look at the size , it’s also suitable to be a jade seal.”

Hu Xiaoyuan paused slightly while eating fish, looked at his brother with strange eyes, and then at Cheng Ye.Although his brother has a good temper, he has never seen him so caring about anyone... The little fat man rolled his eyes a few times, and suddenly he laughed, and put his head down to eat with a bowl in his hand!Only when you are full can you watch a good show.
