Seed dealers in ancient times

Zhang Fu went to the wharf at the usual delivery time, and after distributing the food, he had to rush to the school, but who knows that there are more cargo ships coming here today than in the past, and many men at the wharf are vying to buy food, so of course the business comes. It's a good thing, but there is a fixed number of meals sent out every day, and he can't bring out more for a while.

The men refused, and wanted to take the meals to be sent to the school. Hei Wa came over looking for excitement and made a fuss. He persuaded the guests to come down with good words.

After the incident at the pier subsided, he rushed to the school in a hurry. Because he was delayed at the pier, he went to the school later than usual. The scholar who ordered the meal waited for a long time. Those who understand things should be easy to talk about, but there are only a few people who think about things. Because they are scholars, their speech is much more flexible than the men on the pier.

Several scholars gathered around him and taught him the way of Confucius and Mencius, the Four Books and Five Classics, from punctuality to honesty, and from honesty to business. They all shook their heads and chattered about the time for a stick of incense. Finally, a scholar talked about today's meal If you don't accept it, it is right to punish him for not being punctual.

Even if he opened his mouth all over his body, he couldn't say that these self-proclaimed scholars who were full of knowledge had suffered a dumb loss, so they could only come back with a sad face. The errands were not completed, and he didn't know what to do with the leftover meals. Fortunately, Zheng Jiang stopped reprimanding and fined people, and everyone died down.

Zheng Jiang stopped hearing the words but didn't have much emotional ups and downs, he just said: "Go in and have a drink and rest, it's okay."

Seeing his reaction, Zhang Fu was slightly astonished. He opened his mouth, but said nothing. He went into the shop silently, put down the food box, and took the money he received to Chu Xian to count.

Chu Xian heard the conversation, and seeing Zhang Fu's dejected look, he gave a sigh of relief: "It is inevitable that you will encounter some bumps and bumps when you open the door to do business, so don't take it to heart."

Zhang Fu glanced at Brother Xian gratefully. At Fuyuezhai, he would be reprimanded by the steward until he failed to do a little errand. Today, Zheng Jiangting didn’t get angry when he failed the business. Perhaps he was used to it. Having lost the old model of Fuyue Zhai, I feel very unconfident now.

He was anxiously busy all afternoon, and the guests all dispersed in the afternoon, and Zheng Jiangting was free. Seeing this momentum, he felt that Zheng Jiangting was too busy to pay attention to it, and now he must start reprimanding him. He took the initiative When he came to Zheng Jiangting, he had another self-examination.

Zheng Jiang took a sip of hot water, looked at the cramped person standing in front of him and couldn't lift his head, and smiled helplessly: "Brother Xian is right, opening the door to do business can't always go smoothly, you are also staying in a big restaurant." After a long time, these truths should be clear.”

"I know, but the meals that are not sent out...Master Zheng will deduct it from my wages!"

Zheng Jiang stopped and said: "What kind of deduction is there? There are still five meals left. There are four people in our restaurant, one for each. You can take the rest of the meal back to your mother. You can't waste it, and you can save it by cooking for lunch today." gone."

"This……"

"It's not something you did on purpose. You've tried your best to save it. That's good. I'm blaming you again, and there's no point in blaming you." Zheng Jiangting waved his hand and said, "Go get busy, learn from my aunt. Learn how to make shrimp paste, fish balls and the ingredients for antique soup, there are already two tables of guests who have booked to eat antique soup in the evening.”

Zhang Fu was quite moved, and nodded again and again: "Thank you, Master Zheng."

Looking at Zhang Fu who got into the back kitchen, Chu Xian smiled and said, "Master Zheng is generous."

Zheng Jiang stopped and laughed. Zhang Fu is younger than Brother Xian. What's the point of scolding a child who is older, but it will only make the employees hate the boss. Teach the employees well and let them have a sense of belonging It's easy to do business.

"I thought that if Zhang Fu ran on both sides at the same time, there would inevitably be accidents, and it would not be a problem if the time was too late to keep the guests waiting." Chu Xian suggested, "Why don't I go out for a run at noon, and go to the two ends separately?" Come and go quickly. When the time comes, I will go to the pier, and Zhang Fu will go to the academy."

Zheng Jiangting nodded, this is a good idea, but he pondered for a moment: "Go to the academy, it's closer to the restaurant."

In fact, the difference between the two places is not a few steps. The main reason is that the atmosphere on the pier is not very good. He thought that there are all shirtless men. What if Brother Xian was bullied in the past? Those stinky men are still thinking about abducting Brother Xian. After all, the academy is a scholar, and he knows how to behave, so he won't mess around.

That's how things settled.

……

The next day, after the distant bell of Jinxi Academy rang for a while, the quiet academy suddenly became noisy, and after a while, scholars in green shirts appeared at the gate, and came out of the academy in groups of three or four.

At this time, there were quite a few people gathered outside the academy, the hawkers selling buns and steamed buns, and the common people delivering meals to their children and husbands, they all stretched their necks and looked forward to it when they heard the bell.

Brother Xian came here for the first time, looking at the scene, he felt that it was really lively. Although he could read and write, he had never been to school. What he knew was taught by his mother at home when he was alive.

"Hey, look, a little brother came here today, I don't know whose family's little husband it is."

"Since you are the husband of his family, you still look at it. The master said: Don't look at evil."

"People who are not flirtatious are wasting young people, don't read the books of sages to read yourself wrong."

Chu Xian stood in the crowd, although he didn't hear what the scholars said, but the surroundings cast their eyes faintly. He also knew that many people were looking at him. My son paid special attention to it.

Back then when he went in and out of Fuyue Zhai, his eyes were mostly glued to his body. Although he didn't like it in his heart, he had to persevere in order to make a living. Now he was surrounded by scrutinizing eyes, and without Zheng Jiang stopping beside him, He was more or less uncomfortable, but it was better than Fu Yuezhai too much.

"Meals from the small restaurant at the end of the street, those who ordered the meals yesterday come here to get them!"

He yelled at the entrance of the academy at the top of his voice, and immediately took the food box to the side to wait for someone to get the food.

The scholar who ordered the meal the day before and came out to get the meal together looked at each other. He looked for a long time and did not see the person who delivered the meal. He thought that the people from the small restaurant were late again today. Time has not yet reacted, when will be replaced.

Some people were puzzled, but some walked towards Brother Xian excitedly. The person who delivered the food was so pretty and delicious. Wouldn't it be more delicious to eat this meal.

In the past, he would grab Zhang Fu's curvy scholars, but today they are all polite in front of Brother Xian, and even those who have never ordered food come to join in the fun, asking if they will give it back tomorrow, and how much a piece is.

While checking the people who ordered the meal yesterday, Chu Xian dealt with the scholars, and the discomfort just now disappeared completely: "I will deliver it tomorrow, [-] Wen for meat, [-] Wen for vegetarian, the small restaurant is in Wangmin The last one at the end of the street."

"Xiaosheng also ordered a meal for tomorrow's noon."

"Okay, if you dare to ask the name of the gentleman, what meal will you order in advance?"

Chu Xian took out all the food, holding the lid of the food box as a support, and took out a pen to record the food to be delivered tomorrow. When the scholars saw a string of beautiful small characters on the rough paper, they became even more excited: " The young master is actually literate, the handwriting is really beautiful."

"Sir, you are too modest, but you can only know a few words."

When Li Kesheng came out of the academy, he had already finished school for a while. The master said that his articles were more refined and gorgeous, and he praised him very much. It's a bit strange why many scholars gathered outside the academy today.

"Brother Li!"

Li Kesheng turned his head and saw that it was his classmate scholar, he walked over slowly: "How many of you have eaten so quickly today?"

"Not yet." The scholar who came out to talk first raised his chin in Brother Xian's direction: "Look."

Li Sheng looked in the direction he was pointing in confusion, his eyes turned around the heads of a group of scholars, and he saw a slender young man standing in the middle. The outside eyes are familiar, and when he sees the person clearly, his eyes are fixed, and he subconsciously wants to go over to see clearly.

"Brother Li is a talented man in Jincheng, when will he be interested in a little brother..." Before the people who were traveling with him finished speaking, seeing that Li Sheng had already taken a few strides forward, one of them quickly grabbed Li He was puzzled and couldn't help joking: "Brother Li, don't you want to learn from those people and almost set a meal in order to get ahead?"

Li Kesheng pushed away the hands of his companions: "Looks like an old friend, I'll go and have a look."

Several people froze in place, let Li Kesheng pass by, and said in surprise: "When did Brother Li get to know such a little brother?"

At first, Li Kesheng didn't really believe that Mr. Yunrong, whom he regarded as a pearl, would appear here like a peddler, but when he came up to him, the face that always disturbed his dreams made him have to admit this. fact.

He kept silent for a while without opening his mouth to speak, just watching Brother Xian's long and slender fingers writing and drawing on the rough paper. He also asked if anyone else wanted to order meals. Unattainable during Ramadan.

After Chu Xian asked several times to make sure that no one had ordered any more meals, when he folded the rough paper and was about to call it a day, he saw Li Kesheng standing on the stairs. He was a little surprised. The two were old acquaintances, but now they are so close , I thought I saw him too, so he took the initiative to greet him politely: "Li Xiucai."

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Sheng hesitated for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Yunrong, how did you... start such a business?"

Chu Xian said generously: "Li Xiucai will call me by my name from now on. I no longer make a living as a performer. Since I left Fuyuezhai, I have changed my career."

At the end, he added: "May Li Xiucai order a meal for tomorrow's noon?"

Li Sheng just felt that he hadn't seen him for more than a month, and the person in front of him had completely changed his appearance. Back then, Mr. Yunrong's brows and eyes were like thin frost, and his charm and demeanor and every move made people fascinated. Now, except for that wonderful face , and the rest were completely caught up in the rush of livelihood, he had a wonderful sense of depression, and said lightly: "Don't bother, I usually eat nearby. It's just good, how can Mr. Yunrong bend down? Do what these laymen do,"

Chu Xian heard some voice-overs, and guessed sharply that the talented man might think that he is down and out, and he has completely lost the glory of being an artist in the past, but he doesn't know that those brilliance are just for outsiders to see, and the real embarrassment is only known to him. Nowadays, I do a solid business every day, and the days are a little tiring, but it is really relaxed.

He thought it was a bit funny, when he listened to Li Kesheng's talk about scriptures and Taoism, he thought he was a talented man, after all, he was more than that.He felt a little bit emotional, but he didn't care much about Li Kesheng's thoughts. Speaking of which, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, but they were just admirers he got by selling his looks in the past, if Zheng Jiang hadn't repeatedly thought that he liked Li Kesheng , he really doesn't take this person to heart.

He didn't try to force it, but immediately nodded slightly, and said politely, "I still have something to do, and I'll take a step ahead. If Li Xiucai is free, he can go to the small restaurant at the end of Wangmin Street."

After Chu Xian left, Li Sheng's classmate immediately came forward and said, "Brother Li really met the little beauty just now, and everyone is really envious."

Li Sheng looked back and saw that his classmates were not joking, but envious, and his expression softened a lot: "Brother Yuan is used to making jokes."

When Chu Xian went back, he saw Zhang Fu poking his head at the door from a distance.

"What are you looking at if you don't greet the guests?"

"Mr. Chu Xian, you are back." Zhang Fu heaved a sigh of relief. He has been back for a long time. He waited and waited and waited for Chu Xian to come back. I am afraid that he will encounter the group of scholars in the school and be made things difficult: "Master Zheng and Mrs. I have asked several times, and if I don’t come back, I will look for it.”

With a smile on his face, Brother Xian walked in a few steps and put down the food box, and put the rough paper on the counter to record the customer information.

Zheng Jiang stopped hearing the sound, and saw that Chu Xian was doing well, so he didn't say much. He took the folded paper and unfolded it, and was shocked: "So many people are booked today? It's half more than yesterday. I was worried that what happened yesterday would affect today’s business.”

"If it weren't for the crowds, I wouldn't have been there for so long."

It is a good thing that the business has not been affected. Everyone is very happy, and they are busy.

There is a new hot pot in the restaurant, and there are many customers who come here after hearing the news. The shop can only accommodate a few tables, and there is no place for latecomers. I also know that the number of hot pots is fixed every day, so I have to come early The reservation is made, and as of today, the guest has already booked until noon the next day.

Zheng Jiangting was also distressed that he could only get a few tables of customers every day, but he didn't intend to expand the shop for the time being, so he simply put his mind on preparing dishes, trying to make every table of hot pot dishes as good as possible, so that Staying as a guest is not a kind of development.

In the afternoon, everyone was busy. Zhang Fu was standing at the door inviting guests. From afar, he saw a man in a green shirt poking his head towards this side. The green shirt was very recognizable. He recognized it at a glance, but he didn't think of the guest.

He didn’t know before he came to work, anyway, since he came to work, he has never seen a scholar come to a restaurant, there is still a long distance between Wangmin Street and the academy, and scholars will not come all the way to eat Meal, because the place is remote and hard to find.

Unexpectedly, he lost his sight this time, the scholar of Ruxiu stood outside the door and looked around for a while: "Is this a small restaurant at the end of the street?"

The restaurant does not have an exact name, and now the diners outside are calling them the restaurant, Zhang Fu enthusiastically said: "Yes, it is this one, guest officer, please come inside."

Listening to the scholar's tone as if it was the first time he came, and he was looking for it specially, Zhang Fu was thinking of Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, if he entertained people well, and the scholar went back to publicize it, wouldn't there be more scholars to join him!

He graciously led the scholar to a good place inside, thinking that the scholar likes to be clean and tidy, he just opened the already clean stool and wiped it several times: "Guest officer, what do you want to eat? Here The signature dish is tomato scrambled eggs..."

"Just have a side dish as you said."

"Okay, wait a minute!"

Although Li Kesheng was mentally prepared when he came here, he thought it would be a big restaurant, but he didn't expect that it would be cramped. There can only be three square tables in this shop, but the boss is very good at arranging it, and even installed it. A long table allows guests to sit facing the wall, so more guests are accepted.

Even so, it was still hard for him to imagine that Chu Xian would run errands in this kind of restaurant.

He stretched his neck and looked around to see if Chu Xian was in the shop. He didn't see Chu Xian, but he saw a lot of customers coming and going. The restaurant, which was still empty when he came in, was filled with people within a few seconds.

"Guest officer, use your tomato scrambled eggs slowly~"

The dishes were served very quickly. A plate of scrambled eggs with mixed red and yellow tomatoes just came out of the pan. For his appetite, he put aside the matter of looking for Chu Xian, and tried a sip. It was crispy, sour and fragrant, and the taste was really rare, and he couldn't stop after one sip.

No wonder there are scholars ordering meals every day. He thought it was cheap and convenient, but he never thought that the taste is really good.

"Li Xiucai?"

There were a lot of guests in the evening, and after serving two tables of antiques in a row, Zhang Fu was too busy, so Chu Xian came out from the counter to help greet the guests. He saw a familiar figure from behind while he was refilling the tea for the guests. Really Li Kesheng.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the scholar who had eaten half a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and was still unsatisfied. For a while, he really couldn't figure out what this man was thinking. He was obviously not happy at noon, but why did he change his mind in one afternoon? , unexpectedly found a small restaurant?Could it be that his kind words when he was leaving really invited people here?

Li Kesheng didn't expect that Chu Xian would suddenly appear from behind, so he quickly wiped his mouth with embarrassment on his face: "Yunrong...Chu Xian..."

Chu Xian added a cup of tea to Li Kesheng with the mentality of the host: "How did Li Xiucai come here? This place is remote, so it may be hard to find."

"It's easy to find. There are many customers coming and going. I saw it from a long distance. Today, I heard you said that I will work here, so I thought about coming here."

Chu Xian smiled slightly: "I'm here as an accountant, and I help deliver meals during the day."

Li Kesheng suddenly realized that it is good to be an accountant, but many scholars also work as accountants when they are away. He said that no matter how poor Mr. Yunrong was in the past, it was impossible for him to serve tea and water in a small restaurant as a waiter.

Today, he thought about it all afternoon. Although it was a big blow when he first saw Chu Xian doing errands and delivering meals as a child, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not bad. Such brilliance is so dazzling, seeing the eager scholars outside the academy today, it can be seen that Chu Xian has not changed.

Besides, it's better to leave Fu Yuezhai and stop living on piano music, so as not to be surrounded by dudes like Qiu Yongnian all day long. Although he believes that Chu Xian won't fall in love with such a man, it's a trouble after all. Now that the merit list is thin, if he really wants to fight with Qiu Yongnian, he may not be sure, and there is no need to get involved in such bad things.

Thinking about losing his composure at noon today, he was afraid that it would tarnish his image in Chu Xian's heart. Since he did not change his mind, he came here to find someone, hoping that he would not take what happened at noon to his heart.

"You can still manage accounts, you really have both talents."

"Li Xiucai's absurd praise, but it's just for making a living."

Zheng Jiang stopped to prepare the hot pot ingredients for three tables, and was about to serve the dishes. Zou Yun, who came in with the bowls and chopsticks, said unintentionally: "It's really strange today, we have a scholar in the restaurant."

"Scholar?" Zheng Jiangting was slightly puzzled.

"Brother Xian is greeting you, go and see if you don't believe me."

Zheng Jiangting walked out of the kitchen, thinking that these days the meals to the academy were not free, and some scholars had found them. Just now he raised his neck, he looked at the blue shirt that Brother Xian was sitting in the middle of The scholar was talking and laughing, pouring tea and water, very attentive.

When it was clear that the person sitting there was Li Kesheng, even he didn't know that his face had turned serious.

He walked over slowly, the tall figure was extremely oppressive, and Li Kesheng, who was catching up with Brother Xian and chatting endlessly, suddenly felt a chill on his back, and when he turned around, he saw the man standing behind him, his Adam's apple slipped subconsciously After a while, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Brother Chu."

When Li Kesheng first met Zheng Jiangting, Zheng Jiangting had explained that he was Chu Xian's elder brother, but now he really thought that the two were brothers, and he was very respectful to Zheng Jiangting.

Zheng Jiang stopped to save face and nodded: "I haven't seen Li Xiucai for a long time."

Li Kesheng was quite surprised that Zheng Jiangting still remembered him, and he felt a little superior in his heart. As expected, scholars are easy to remember: "I am busy with scientific examinations on weekdays, and it is true that I haven't come out for a long time."

After saying that, she looked at Chu Xian again: "I didn't know that Chu Xian had already changed her job. I never thought that it was still my own job. It's so good."

Zheng Jiangting's eyes narrowed slightly. Wasn't it Chu Xian's stage name in the past? Why did he call her name in a blink of an eye? Whether it's good or not doesn't seem to have much to do with him.

Not wanting to see the flirtatious smiles of the two, he said directly: "Brother Xian, go to the counter and watch, there is a customer calling for the check."

"Li Xiucai is slow to use, and there are not many people in the restaurant. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Li Kesheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry about Xiaosheng, brother Chu just go and get busy."

Zheng Jiang stopped back to the back kitchen, staring at Li Kesheng's direction from time to time, supervising whether the two continued to talk, until Li Kesheng had finished eating, he didn't see Brother Xian going again, but he caught him. It was time for Li Kesheng to peek at the counter.

Seeing that Li Kesheng was going to pay the bill after eating, Zheng Jiangting hurriedly pulled Zhang Fu: "Go, you go and collect the scholar's money."

Zhang Fu didn't understand, so why did he ask him to collect it? Brother Xian was in front of the counter, but he didn't dare to speak out, so he honestly went to collect Li Kesheng's money.

After the money was in his pocket, Zheng Jiang stopped to put down the dishes on the cutting board, and walked out a few steps to see Li Kesheng out.

Li Kesheng was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to go to the counter to talk to brother Xian, but the elder brother was so enthusiastic that he even personally sent him out. He was even more excited. He must be very fond of him. So he immediately made up for the regret of not being able to talk to Chu Xian, and when he went out to the street, he saluted again: "Brother Chu, stop, the food in the restaurant is really delicious, I will come here regularly in the future."

Zheng Jiang stopped and smiled, who wants you to come often: "Go slowly."

After the people walked away, Zheng Jiangting's sulking anger did not go away. When he was thinking about how to vent his anger, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. In the past, he felt that Li Kesheng and Brother Xian were very right, so why did they meet today? Li Kesheng is an eyesore everywhere?Could it be because the previous misunderstanding made Brother Xian so angry that he now feels uncomfortable looking at Li Kesheng?

It's also possible that he gets along with Brother Xian every day, and treats him as a family, and always wants to guard against pigs who want to come to their own Chinese cabbage.

The reason was more or less far-fetched, but he couldn't think of any other reason for a while, so he simply didn't think about it, he sighed, turned his head and almost collided with Brother Xian who was standing behind him at some point.

He lowered his eyes, the young man's thick and slender eyelashes were close at hand, his eyes were full of sadness, his heart was suddenly suffocated for a moment.

"Is it necessary to send someone so far away? Are you playing tricks on Li Kesheng again!"

There was sullenness in Chu Xian's tone, thinking about Zheng Jiangting's daily troubled mind about emotional matters, he used his little finger to figure out Zheng Jiangting's crooked ideas.

When he was about to threaten that he should not even think about it, he seemed to hear the person in front of him swallowing, and his tone was very light: "No...no."

The author has something to say: Today is a little late, but it is still a fat chapter!
