Back to the ancient restaurant

On the eighth day of September, Yijuan married, groundbreaking and opening.

Li Zian's shop opened silently like this. Because of the lack of manpower, Li Zian called Li's mother, Uncle Yang and Zhao Yang from the kitchen of Li Hongshen's house to help. Each person received five hundred dollars a month. .

At first, when Uncle Yang heard Li Hongshen's order to help in the shop, he was a little bit reluctant.After hearing that Li Zi'an offered five hundred dollars a month, he agreed.

Huang Zhiyuan, who had already received the letter, dragged Li Hongshen and a few more familiar classmates to rush out after class.However, before he could walk out the door, he was stopped by his master.

Thinking that he had done something wrong again, Huang Zhiyuan mouthed to Li Hongshen and others that he was waiting for him. Seeing several people nodded to him with clear eyes, Huang Zhiyuan turned around and walked towards the master with his head bowed.

Seeing how quickly Huang Zhiyuan changed his face, the master couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.I couldn't help but secretly reflect in my heart, whether I was too strict with this student at ordinary times.

"Master, I have finished my homework today."

Huang Zhiyuan lingered to his master and said in a tone full of grievances.

The master nodded when he heard the words, took a calligraphy and painting from behind and handed it to Huang Zhiyuan.

"This painting was brought to Li Zi'an by the teacher, and it should be regarded as a congratulatory gift for his opening."

As soon as he heard that the master was not looking for him for homework, Huang Zhiyuan immediately seemed to be resurrected, reached out to take the calligraphy and painting handed over by the master, and nodded vigorously.

"Master, don't worry, the students will definitely bring them!"

After finishing speaking, Huang Zhiyuan bowed to his master, and trotted to catch up with the few people in front.

The master stood on the spot with his left hand behind his back, stroked his well-groomed goatee with his right hand and shook his head helplessly.

I thought they were the fastest, but when Huang Zhiyuan and the others arrived at the restaurant, there was already one person sitting in the restaurant.Huang Zhiyuan saw that the man was Zhou Ang.

"Brother Zhou is fast enough, we are all one step behind you."

Huang Zhiyuan sat down in front of Zhou Ang boldly, and stretched his head to see what Zhou Ang ordered on his plate while talking.

Seeing that he ordered some vegetarian dishes, he nodded in satisfaction.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Huang Zhiyuan feared that there would be more and more people coming from behind, so he hurriedly got up and went to the order window.

Taking a large bowl from the table next to him, Huang Zhiyuan walked to the window where the food was ordered, stretched out his head to glance around, and ordered homemade beans in a hurry

Tofu, ground three delicacies, spicy chicken nuggets, and braised pork are a few dishes, which are full of a large bowl.

It was Li's mother who served the dishes, because she had met Huang Zhiyuan once at Li Hongshen's house, so they knew each other.Knowing that this person is a friend of the boss, so the portion is more than others. Huang Zhiyuan, who was holding the bowl, couldn't help but smile so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

Li Zian heard Huang Zhiyuan's hearty laughter when he was in the back kitchen, took off the sleeves on his arms, washed his hands, and then walked out.Seeing that his daughter-in-law was also queuing up to serve the dishes with bowls, Li Zian hurriedly pulled them aside.After winking at Li Hongshen, he warmly greeted everyone.

"Thank you for coming to join me. I wonder if the food can be returned to your taste?"

"It suits your appetite, it suits your appetite too much! Compared with the dining room in the academy, your craftsmanship is simply amazing!"

As soon as Li Zi'an finished speaking, Huang Zhiyuan who was at the side immediately cheered.

"All the food here is made by Li Zian?" Zhou Ang held his chopsticks and looked at Li Zian in disbelief.

Zhou Ang and Li Zi'an have known each other for so long, except for the 'bank note incident', they basically had no contact with each other.Now I can't be surprised to hear that the food is actually cooked by Li Zi'an himself.

"Yeah, the taste should be okay, right?"

Because he is not very familiar with Zhou Ang, Li Zian and him are not as casual as Huang Zhiyuan.

Hearing this, Zhou Ang looked at Li Zian carefully again, and then nodded.

Li Zian greeted everyone again, and then found an excuse to bring Li Hongshen to the back kitchen.Prepare yourself ahead of time from the steamer

The prepared meals were brought to Li Hongshen, and another cup of warm water was poured and placed by his hand.

"Seeing that you haven't eaten too much these days, I specially made shrimp stewed eggs and steamed sea bass for you today. You can make do with it first, and I'll make others for you after school in the evening."

Since being together with Li Zian, Li Zian has given him food for his dreams in different ways.It was raining and the weather turned cold the day before yesterday. When Li Hongshen changed his clothes, he found that he was a lot fatter than before...

Li Hongshen, who deliberately controlled his diet, couldn't help feeling a little shocked when he heard the other party say that he had a bad appetite.Holding the chopsticks for a long time, I didn't have the nerve to explain.

"No, I'll just eat whatever I want."

While speaking, he heard someone outside saying that he wanted to pay the bill, Li Zian hurriedly told him to eat well, and then he got up and walked outside.

After such a short time, many students were already sitting outside.Some acquaintances greeted Li Zian when they saw him come out.

Li Zi'an responded with a smile and came to the counter. Seeing Zhou Ang who was standing there from the year before last, Li Zian was stunned for a moment and then smiled and exchanged greetings with him.

Before Zhou Ang left, he looked at Li Zi'an, who was keeping his head down while keeping his account. After hesitating for a while, he took out a small box the size of a palm and put it on the counter.Under Li Zian's surprised eyes, he said auspicious words, turned around and strode away without waiting for Li Zian's reaction.

Li Zian didn't have much contact with him, and now that the other party suddenly sent a congratulatory gift, he felt a little bit resistant in his heart.Opening the box, Li Zian found an exquisitely crafted Pixiu ornament inside.Looking at the thickness of the bread batter, one can tell that the age is not ordinary.

Li Zian hurriedly chased him out with his things, but there was no sign of Zhou Ang outside the door.Helpless, Li Zi'an had no choice but to return to the shop with his things.

Huang Zhiyuan had already finished eating at this time, and was sitting on the stool stroking his stomach non-stop.Seeing Li Zian walk in, he grinned widely, imitating the accent of the students from Yudi in the academy and said: "The food here is still delicious."

Huang Zhiyuan's weird tone made everyone in the room burst into laughter. There was a student from Yudi next to him, who stretched out his hand and pushed him, his face turned red from laughing.

Seeing this, Li Zi'an couldn't help laughing: "Brother Huang's dialect is really nondescript, but I heard that the girls in Yudi are especially beautiful. When Brother Huang marries one back, he will naturally be ashamed after hearing and seeing Confucianism." I learned it. It’s just that most of the men in Yudi have their ears dirty, and I hope Brother Huang will be able to stand up.”

Those who understood immediately burst into laughter, and those who did not understand also laughed after asking other people.All of a sudden, the restaurant was very lively, and the passers-by outside couldn't help but look sideways.

Huang Zhiyuan didn't understand the meaning of 'Ba Er', and Li Zi'an made a big blush for a while, so he could only stare at Li Zi'an fiercely and curse: "Don't make fun of me! Maybe you will too in the future!"

As soon as Huang Zhiyuan finished speaking, Li Hongshen opened the door curtain and came out from inside after eating.Hearing everyone's laughter without knowing it, he turned his head and looked at Li Zi'an in a daze.

Li Zian squeezed his hand in a corner where no one could see, and when he saw someone walking towards the counter to check out, he hurriedly pulled Li Hongshen by the sleeve and led him over.

Standing behind the counter, Li Hongshen looked at Li Zian's bustle, and turned his gaze to the almost full lobby.

He originally thought that if the business of Li Zian's Food Shop was not good, he would ask Zhao Yang to go to the street to find a few people to help make up the scene, but he didn't expect that the business would be so good on the first day of opening.In the short time he's been here, some dishes have been replenished twice.

Li Hongshen took a general look, and the more than ten tables in the lobby were almost full.Although the majority of the students in the academy were there, there were also several tables of other guests sitting in the corner.

The guests at one of the tables had a fierce look on their faces. Li Hongshen only felt that the other party looked familiar after a glance.After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that he had seen this person once the day before the store opened.

At first, the other party just kept wandering outside the store. Li Hongshen thought it was someone who was planning to do something wrong, and he was already prepared to ask Zhao Yang to go to the county government for help.However, the other party just looked at it, and even helped to clean up a few relatively large pieces of gravel around the shop.Li Hongshen felt relieved when he realized that the other party was not malicious.At this time, seeing that the other party had specially brought someone to join him, he thought that he should also be someone Li Zian knew well.It's just that Li Zian never mentioned this person to him, so he couldn't help but pay attention to him.

Li Zian noticed that the people around him were distracted, and following his gaze, he found that Li Hongshen had been paying attention to Li San'er who was sitting in the corner of the shop.After poking the back of his hand, seeing Li Hongshen looking back at him, Li Zian shook his head slightly at him.

"Those people... go back to tell you at night, don't target them."

Li Zi'an actually didn't know much about Li San'er, but he could tell from Li San'er's behavior that he was not a kind person either.However, Li San'er didn't have any malice towards him, and even helped him, and Li Zian didn't want to offend him.Seeing Li Hongshen nodded in understanding, Li Zi'an lowered his head and concentrated on remembering the account again.

……

It's time to see off the last table of guests.Li Zi'an called everyone to clean up the store, and then made a few random dishes and everyone had dinner together.Because he was afraid that Li Hongshen would not be able to adapt to the way of getting along regardless of superiority or inferiority.Li Zian specially set aside a part of each dish for him.However, Li Hongshen took a look at him, poured his share back into the big plate, and carried it out of the kitchen by himself.

Looking at his slender back, Li Zi'an knew that Li Hongshen was trying to accept and tolerate everything about him, and he couldn't help but be very moved.He lifted the lid of the pot, brought out the egg soup from the pot, and followed him out.

Everyone had a lively meal, and then the show ended. Seeing the moonlight outside, Li Hongshen asked Zhao Yang to rush back with Li's mother and Uncle Yang.

The night in September was still a little cold, Li Zian reached out and touched the back of Li Hongshen's hand, and felt that his hand was a little cold.He reached out and wrapped his hand tightly around his palm.Li Hongshen glanced at him sideways and smiled, before leaning towards Li Zian unconsciously.

Looking at the long shadow on the ground stretched by the moonlight, Li Zian childishly pulled Li Hongshen's hand and made various funny movements. Li Hongshen didn't expect Li Zian to have such a childish side, and couldn't help shaking with his movements. shook his head.Thinking of what Brother Li once said in my mind, I just feel sore and swelled in my heart and don't know how to express it.

Sensing that the other party's mood was different, Li Zi'an also calmed down.Turning his head to see the other party secretly sighing, Li Zi'an stopped in his tracks, and under the other party's puzzled eyes, he hugged him forcefully into his arms.

"Don't think wildly when you are alone, you must tell me if you have something, and don't be bored in your heart alone."

"Ok, I know."

Li Hong leaned against Li Zi'an's arms and answered quietly, his eyes were looking at the bright moon in the sky, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
