"It feels pretty good," Zhang Wuliang said to Wu Maoqian, "Do you know how much the rent here is?"

Wu Maoqian thought for a while: "What I heard before was [-] Wen a month. And this family can't come back often, so the rent may have to be paid for a year or more at a time."

Zhang Wuliang nodded. It costs about ten taels of silver a year, which is much more expensive than that on Yonghua Street.

Wu Maoqian explained: "In fact, the rent here is more expensive. One is because it is adjacent to the wharf, and the other is the protection fee. There are a lot of pedestrians here and there, and occasionally passing merchant ships stop here. If you encounter one or two If it's messy, someone needs to help solve it.

Therefore, those who open a shop here either have backgrounds of their own, or they can only seek protection from others. "

Protection fees?Zhang Wuliang's eyes lit up, familiar and unfamiliar nouns.

"The rent of this shop wasn't worth it before, but now that his son is a senior, the shop naturally has confidence, and the price increase is inevitable. That's why many people are willing to rent."

Zhang Wuliang was also a little moved. What he needs to open a restaurant is population flow.

And if you make some long-lasting food, you can sell it to the merchants as dry food, this is the renter, alas...

"Let's go, go ahead and have a look," Zhang Wuliang said, putting down the things in his hands.

Zhang Wuliang approached the front and was talking about three people, when he heard one of them wearing a blue coat say: "Uncle Li, you have known my father for so many years, and you know what he is like. Before I came, my father still Let me say hello to you on his behalf, you can rest assured that you rent the shop to my family."

Another person wearing a navy blue shirt quickly continued: "Who is not old friends with Brother Li? My family is an old brand of tofu. Brother Li, you will definitely not be buried if you rent the shop to my family."

"Your house is still an old sign." The person who spoke before mocked: "When my family started making tofu, you didn't know where it was?"

"Okay, okay." Boss Li interrupted, "It is said that doing business is about being harmonious and making money. You guys should stop arguing. When I go back, I will think about who I want to rent the shop to, and I will definitely notify you when the time comes."

"Okay." Seeing that Boss Li had said so, the two had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

Boss Li obviously breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhang Wuliang who was standing beside him and asked, "Little brother, do you also want to rent a shop?"

Those two people hadn't gone far, when they heard this, they immediately turned around and stared at Zhang Wuliang, Zhang Wuliang silently nodded under the two scary gazes.

The two gazes immediately became a little hot. When they saw Zhang Wuliang's immature face and the coarse linen clothes on his body, the malicious scrutiny slowly turned into an overconfident sarcasm.

Boss Li smiled and said, "I don't know what the little brother plans to rent the shop for?"

"Sell some food and bean products," Zhang Wuliang replied.

Boss Li asked: "Little brother can also make tofu?"

Zhang Wuliang nodded: "Yes, I have done it successfully before."

"I don't know where the mud legs came from." The man in the blue coat said sarcastically: "If you know how to make a few catties of tofu, you feel like you can open a shop."

Zhang Wuliang ignored him, the man felt bored, snorted, threw off his sleeves and left.

The rest of the people in navy blue shirts bowed to Zhang Wuliang: "Boy Liu is also outspoken, please don't blame me, little brother." That is to say, he became a good person and put on eye drops.

Zhang Wuliang shook his head: "Of course not, although the boy was born in a young and poor family, Zhang Zhenwen looked at Zhang Wuliang and hesitated to speak when the vulgar came out.

Zhang Wuliang looked down at himself, and asked strangely: "What's wrong with me? Is there something wrong?"

Zhang Zhenwen couldn't put it into words: "I, why don't you know when you have such lofty ambitions?"

"Ah?" Zhang Wuliang was stunned.

"It's what you said to the man in navy blue in the shop just now, don't bully young people into poverty, you will definitely reach the heights that others look up to..."

Zhang Zhenwen reminded: "You won't forget all of them, will you?"

Zhang Wuliang nodded: "I used it to fool people, why do you remember these?"

Zhang Zhenwen almost flicked his tongue: "Huh, huh?"

Chu Lin.

"That's right," Zhang Wuliang said, "Boss Li likes young people with aspirations at first glance, and I just go for what he likes."

Wu Maoqian became interested: "How did you know that Boss Li likes aspiring young people?"

Zhang Wuliang pretended to be mysterious and shook his head: "The Buddha said: You can't say it, you can't say it."

"Oh?" Wu Maoqian narrowed his eyes and threatened, "If you don't want to tell me, then you don't need to know the address of the next shop."

"Haha, why are you so cute?" Zhang Wuliang would have reached out and touched his head if he hadn't been holding something in his hand: "Buddha's saying can't be said, but I can say it!"

"Actually, it's just a guess," Zhang Wuliang said, "You said earlier that Boss Li's shop didn't need so much rent, which means that Boss Li's house doesn't have any favorable background either.

But he can still do business well, which shows that he is capable. There is another one. Boss Li's son found a job in the county, and the rent of his shop can be increased, which shows that the position of this job is not low. A tofu seller Being able to let his son find a good job in the county shows that he is not small in ambition. He is originally aspiring, so it's okay to like ambitious young people, right? "

"That's all?" Wu Maoqian couldn't believe it.

"Ah." Zhang Wu nodded, "It's all speculation, but a reasonable guess can help us get things done faster."

"Then guess who Boss Li will rent the shop to?" Wu Maoqian asked.

Zhang Wuliang shrugged: "It's not me anyway."

"Why?" Zhang Zhenwen didn't understand.

"Boss Li's ability to start a business is enough to show that he is good at management, whether it is the management of the shop or the management of human relations, so..." Zhang Wuliang shook his head.

Zhang Zhenwen seems to have realized something: "You mean, he wants to use the rented shop to pay back the favor?"

"

Zhang Zhenwen was confused: "What dog?"

Zhang Wuliang quickly explained: "Ah, I mean you are right, hehe, you are right." So hanging...

Zhang Wuliang's guess was right, Boss Li's shop was finally rented to Ying's family who usually helped him a lot, and it was the house of the man in navy blue that day.

As for the blue coat that did not rent the shop, he blamed Zhang Wuliang for not renting the shop. He originally planned to show his face in front of his father by doing this, but now he was disturbed by Zhang Wuliang and did not show his face. After succeeding, he failed, and the blue coat expressed his displeasure.Afterwards, this brought Zhang Wuliang a lot of trouble.

These are all things for later, now Zhang Wuliang, under the leadership of Wu Maoqian, came to their last destination today, a noodle restaurant with closed doors.

Wu Maoqian poked at the crack of the door for a long time, and finally decided to ask someone in the cloth shop next door: "Little brother, why is there no one in the noodle shop next door? Has his shop been rented out?"

The second brother nodded: "I heard that it was rented out this morning. Boss Jin has packed it up and is waiting for the handover."

"That's it, okay then." Wu Maoqian was a little disappointed: "Thank you, little brother."

"Small things..."

Wu Maoqian went out of the cloth house and found Zhang Wuliang who was waiting outside: "I asked, and it was said that it has been rented out. I'm sorry, I let you run around."

Zhang Wuliang shook his head: "It's nothing, but it's fortunate that you are busy with us. When our restaurant opens, you must come here often."

He has long seen that Yongxing Street is the place where big bosses fight, and it's not like they are small shrimps who can fish in troubled waters.

Wu Maoqian nodded: "Okay, it's still early, what are your plans?"

"What other plans do you have?" Zhang Wuliang raised the things in his hands: "I just want to go home early and put these things down."

"Okay." Wu Maoqian nodded and said, "Then I'll take you out first."

"No need." Zhang Wuliang looked around: "We know the way, you can just go back from here."

Wu Maoqian didn't force it: "Okay, then let's leave it alone, and if there is anything in the future, just go to Bu Ning Lane to find me."

"Definitely." Zhang Wuliang held the things in both hands and made a difficult bow: "Let's take our leave first."

"See you later" Wu Maoqian watched the two of them disappear around the corner, and also found a small path from the other side to go home.

Zhang Wuliang returned home with big bags and small bags, Chen Xiaonian quickly took them and put them on the table in the main room.

"Brother Zhang, didn't you go to see the shop? Why did you sell these things and come back?" Chen Xiaonian asked strangely looking at the pile of things.

Zhang Wuliang poured down a glass of water, took another glass of water from the kettle on the table, and took advantage of this gap to explain: "Today when I went to Yongxing Street, I happened to meet a merchant ship that had just arrived. I saw it was fresh, so I bought it. a little."

"Isn't it a little bit?" Chen Xiaonian looked at a large table full of things and thought silently: "Is it the Shuangwan Pier?"

Zhang Wuliang raised his eyebrows: "You know?"

"En," Chen Xiaonian replied, "I heard from my dad that before, during the slack season, my dad and the others went to the pier to fight against the bag. I haven't been there. I heard it was quite lively?"

"It's very lively, I'll take you to see it next time." Zhang Wuliang said, "I bought a lot of things, open it and have a look? By the way, where's your mother?"

Chen Xiaonian said: "I went to Sister Li Zhi's house next door to deliver something, and I'll be back in a while."

Zhang Wuliang stood up: "I'll go and have a look."

Before leaving the courtyard, I bumped into Mrs. Zhao coming in from the outside: "Daniu is back? Are you tired? Why don't you sit in the room."

Zhang Wuliang turned around and helped Aunt Zhao go in: "Xiao Nian said that you went to sister Lizhi's house. I bought a lot of things from the pier today, and I am going to call you to come back and have a look."

"Something from the pier?" Aunt Zhao asked curiously, "Then I have to take a good look."

"This is the dried shrimp brought on the merchant ship." Zhang Wuliang opened a small bag and showed the small dried shrimp inside: "It can be used to make dried dried shrimp tofu, and can also be used to make wontons, by the way." He remembered the wontons, and opened another A bag: "Here is seaweed, which can be used to make wontons or soup."

"Really..." Aunt Zhao held up a handful of dried shrimps and put them in her eyes: "It's crystal clear, so beautiful."

"En" Chen Xiaonian nodded with a seaweed in his hand: "Brother Zhang, why does this seaweed look like dry grass?"

"Isn't it just dead grass?" Zhang Wuliang said with a smile: "After fishermen fish it out of the sea, they dry it before selling it."

Chen Xiaonian tilted his head and thought for a while: "Is it like kelp?"

"That's right." Zhang Wuliang turned out another bag: "This is full of grains and rice."

"What is that? Something like rice?" Chen Xiaonian looked over.

"Hmm...it seems to be used to make porridge?" Zhang Wuliang was not so sure.

"It looks so strange, it's round." Chen Xiaonian squeezed one and looked at it.

"I also bought some silk fabrics, which are just right for making underwear in summer," Zhang Wuliang said, pointing to a roll of cloth next to him.

After turning over everything on the table, Chen Xiaonian and Aunt Zhao were obviously not interested, looking at Zhang Wuliang as if he could take something out of his arms in the next moment.

Zhang Wuliang didn't seem to notice their gaze, just looked outside the door: "It's already this time, why isn't Little Shitou finished school yet?"

Aunt Zhao looked away and stood up: "I'm going to the kitchen to prepare dinner."

Chen Xiaonian also stood up abruptly, watching Zhang Wuliang puff up his face, but he still didn't respond, Chen Xiaonian snorted, and said in a more emphatic tone: "I'm going too!" Then he followed Aunt Zhao kitchen.

Zhang Wuliang silently wiped the cold sweat off his forehead: It's terrible...

When Zhang Zhenyong went home for dinner at night, he always felt that the atmosphere at home was a bit strange.

But I couldn't tell what was wrong, so I had to go to the room silently after eating to do the homework left by my husband.

Unexpectedly, the elder brother who seldom comes to his room, opened the door and came in today.And took a book, found a stool in his room and sat down.

"Brother?" Zhang Zhenyong looked at him suspiciously.

"It's okay, you follow your example, don't worry about me." Zhang Wuliang stared at the book and waved to him.

"Oh." Although he was puzzled, Zhang Zhenyong still did it. The husband has left more and more homework recently. If he doesn't hurry up and do it now, he will stay up all night.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cleaned up the kitchen, they found that the trace of a certain person had disappeared from sight, and they could only return to their respective bedrooms with a stomach full of anger.

As soon as Chen Xiaonian entered the bedroom and took advantage of the moonlight, he saw a white thing on the table. Chen Xiaonian lit a candle suspiciously, and took a closer look. It was a very strange thing, which looked like the snails he touched in the fields when he was a child.

But it looks a little bigger, and the exterior is white, which looks good.

Chen Xiaonian reached out to pick up that strange "snail", it was very heavy, the meat of the "snail" was gone, so it was still so heavy?

The little white man poked his head out from behind his head: "Is this an escargot? It looks so strange."

The "idiot" black villain came out from the other side: "Have you ever seen such a snail? It must not be an snail!"

"What's that?" the little white man asked.

"I..." The little black man turned his head to the side: "I don't know!"

"Haha, so there are times when you don't know." The little man in white floated to his side and laughed.

"Is it strange?" The little black man rolled his black eyes at him: "We are just two consciousnesses of the same person, he doesn't know, how do I know?"

Chen Xiaonian touched the inner wall of the "snail" curiously, "Well" it's so slippery.

"Is it slippery? Is it slippery? Is it slippery like tofu?" The little white man floated to the side of "Escargot" and touched it: "Really, it's as slippery as tofu, blackheads, come and try it."

"Don't call me blackhead." The little black man also floated over, stretched out his hand and touched it reservedly, his eyes lit up.

"It's slippery!" The little white man rubbed his face on it excitedly.

"Idiot" the black villain said coldly, he would not do such a demeaning thing, it touched it with its hand again, and held back no matter how much it thought!

What exactly is this?Chen Xiaonian fell into deep thought while holding the "snail".

Over there, Mrs. Zhao packed up and went back to the house. She also found a strange comb on the table in her house. It was yellow and transparent. It was as warm as jade in her hand, and it was a bit heavy. It didn't look like wood. It was What is it made of?Aunt Zhao is very curious.

Over there, Zhang Wuliang had finished flipping through the book in his hand. He stood up and threw the book on Zhang Zhenyong's desk. Regardless of whether Zhang Zhenyong was frightened by him, he said "For you", turned around and left .

Zhang Zhenyong picked up the book that Zhang Wuliang threw over. It was a travelogue. Zhang Zhenyong carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on the pages. This was the first book he received, and he must keep it safe.Although the eldest brother's appearance seems to be just incidental. (It's the truth, little stone...)

Zhang Wuliang left Zhang Zhenyong's room and went to Mrs. Zhao's room first. Zhang Wuliang knocked on the door cautiously. After getting permission, he gently opened a crack in the door and poked his head in: "Mom, are you still asleep?"

Pointing to the thing in Mrs. Zhao's hand with her chin again: "The gift I gave you, do you like it?"

"What is this?" Aunt Zhao held it in her hand and compared it.

"Ox Horn Comb" Zhang Wuliang approached and picked up the comb, and combed Aunt Zhao's hair a few times: "I heard that it can massage the scalp and be good for the body."

"Well, it feels good, very comfortable." Aunt Zhao closed her eyes and felt it.

Zhang Wuliang's tone revealed the words "seeking praise": "That's right, this is the best comb that I have carefully selected at the stall for a long time."

"That's right, you're interested, by the way." Aunt Zhao suddenly asked, "Didn't you buy it for Xiaonian?"

Zhang Wuliang paused when he was combing his hair, and then he pretended to be natural and said: "How could he use such a good thing, I just picked something for him at the stall."

"You child," Aunt Zhao said with reproach in her tone, "He is your husband, why can't he use some good things?

You can't do this next time, if you don't love your own husband, who will love you? "

"Got it..." Zhang Wuliang replied impatiently.

"You" Aunt Zhao heard it: "You are disobedient, aren't you?"

"Be obedient, be obedient," Zhang Wuliang said hastily.

Aunt Zhao reached out her hand to signal Zhang Wuliang to stop: "Okay, don't stay in my room all the time, go back to the room and accompany Xiaonian."

Zhang Wuliang is unwilling: "I will accompany you for a while."

Aunt Zhao didn't take it seriously: "I am an old woman, what can I do to accompany you, go back to the house quickly, you are tired today, go to bed early."

"Okay." Even Mrs. Zhao said so, Zhang Wuliang had no choice but to agree, he put the comb on the table lightly, and said: "Then I will go back first, mother, you should also rest early."

"Understood, you go back quickly." Zhang Wuliang went out, and Mrs. Zhao sat at the table holding the horn comb and looked at it for a while, before carefully putting it away in the drawer of the dressing table.

Here Zhang Wuliang went back to the room, and saw his husband sitting on the bed in a daze, Zhang Wuliang asked softly, "Why don't you wash up and go to bed?"

Chen Xiaonian looked up at him and smiled: "I'm waiting for you..."

Zhang Wuliang walked over and hugged him halfway, patted his head: "Good boy"

Chen Xiaonian leaned his head in his arms, raised something in his hand and asked, "Brother Zhang, what is this?"

Zhang Wuliang continued to stroke his hair: "This is a conch."

Chen Xiaonian repeated: "Conch?"

"Yes" Zhang Wuliang has memories in his eyes: "It is said that conch is the recorder of the sound of the sea, and some of them can record the sound of the waves.

Some are the sound of fish swimming, and some are the sound of fishermen going out to sea. All kinds of different sounds will be recorded. "

"Then what do you remember in this?" Chen Xiaonian asked curiously.

"I don't know either," Zhang Wuliang said, "Why don't you listen to it now?"

"Okay" Chen Xiaonian brought the conch to his ear for a while, "I didn't hear the sound?"

"Really?" Zhang Wuliang also sat down on the bed and turned his ear to Chen Xiaonian: "Let me listen."

Chen Xiaonian gently placed the conch next to Zhang Wuliang's ear, Zhang Wuliang quietly felt it, and said, "Well, there really isn't one."

Chen Xiaonian took back the conch with some disappointment.

Zhang Wuliang touched his hand: "Maybe this conch forgot, but we can make it up for him?"

Chen Xiaonian raised his head in his arms, and asked suspiciously: "How to make it up?"

Zhang Wuliang smiled mysteriously, held Chen Xiaonian's hand, put the conch to his mouth, and said in repeated voices: "Xiao Nian, Xiao Nian..."

Chen Xiaonian wanted to withdraw his hand as if getting an electric shock, but was stopped by Zhang Wuliang: "It's not enough just for a while, he hasn't woken up yet, we need to say it a few more times."

"No, no need." Chen Xiaonian felt a little embarrassed.

"Yes." Zhang Wuliang looked at Chen Xiaonian and said, "I want it to record your own voice."

So this conch was placed on the bedside of the two of them. Every night before going to bed and after waking up in the morning, in front of Chen Xiaonian, Zhang Wuliang would call it "Xiao Nian" dozens of times.

When Chen Xiaonian put the conch to his ear again, he seemed to really hear Zhang Wuliang's voice coming from the conch, calling his name non-stop.

Regarding the matter of renting a shop, Zhang Wuliang has already decided in his heart to choose the old dumpling shop.But since they have made an appointment with the shop to give a reply in three days, Zhang Wuliang is not in a hurry to go to town immediately.And even if the old dumpling shop is rented out, there are plenty of similar shops on Yonghua Street.

Zhang Wuliang simply stayed at home to prepare the dishes to be sold at that time. Zhang Wuliang finally decided to focus on tofu first. In addition to the tofu puffs and tofu skins he made before, he also made soy sauce, yuba and yuba.

Bean curd sticks and bean curd skin are easy to make. Just pick up the film formed on the surface of soybean milk with a finger-thick bamboo pole. It is yuba.

There is also the fermented bean curd he made before. In the morning, he can also sell soy milk and tofu nao with some steamed buns and steamed buns for breakfast.

As for other things, he can wait for the business to start and then add it slowly.

Three days later, Zhang Wuliang took Chen Xiaonian to Shuangwan Town for two reasons. One was that the current owner of the old dumpling shop was a brother, so it was more convenient to take Chen Xiaonian there.

The other is that Zhang Wuliang selfishly wanted to have a date with Chen Xiaonian. During the Lantern Festival, there was Zhang Zhenyong with a big light bulb next to him. Zhang Wuliang said: He has been unhappy for a long time.

Zhang Wuliang was outside the town gate, and while the soldiers were registering, he said to Chen Xiaonian: "Let's go to Yonghua Street to settle the matter of renting a shop, and then go shopping in the town?"

Chen Xiaonian nodded: "I listen to you."

"Then let's go." Zhang Wuliang took Chen Xiaonian's hand and entered the town.

"Brother Zhang..." Chen Xiaonian was a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry." Zhang Wuliang approached him and whispered, "No one will notice us."

Chen Xiaonian's ears were moved by him, so he followed him.

The two came to the old dumpling shop together, but the door was closed. Zhang Wuliang left a message at the biscuit shop next door, and took Chen Xiaonian for a walk along the street: "The tofu shop will open in the future, and you will be the boss. You have to be familiar with the surrounding environment."

Chen Xiaonian nodded, and started to watch seriously. Zhang Wuliang happily followed behind Chen Xiaonian with his hands behind his back, watching slowly with him.

"Brother Zhang" Chen Xiaonian suddenly turned around and said, "It doesn't look like there are many people on this road?"

"It is indeed less than usual." Zhang Wuliang looked around and nodded in agreement: "Xiao Nian's observation is in place."

"Why don't we ask what's going on?" Zhang Wuliang said, looking at Wu Maoqian not far away.

Chen Xiaonian also saw him, and suddenly thought of the stories Wu Maoqian told before: "Okay, let's go there quickly." He hasn't finished telling the stories about Old Man Liu's house before.

Seeing Chen Xiaonian being so active, Zhang Wuliang felt a bit appetizing, so he was reluctant to go there.

Chen Xiaonian didn't realize it, and dragged Zhang Wuliang forward.

Wu Maoqian saw them coming, and greeted them warmly: "Xiao Nian is here too? Long time no see."

When he was in front of people, Chen Xiaonian was a little shy again, stopped in front of his stall, and held Zhang Wuliang's hand: "Yeah, long time no see."

Wu Maoqian smiled: "Do you remember the previous story? Old man Liu's house has new developments. Do you want to hear it?"

"Really?" Chen Xiaonian asked in surprise, pulled out his hand and put it on the stall, looked at Wu Maoqian expectantly and asked, "Can you say it?"

Zhang Wuliang looked at the expectant little husband who wanted to hear gossip with black lines all over his face, and glared at Wu Maoqian.

So he hated people who spread gossip the most in his life, especially a man, and an ugly man.

(Personal attack, hey, although Maoqian is not handsome, he is still very attractive, okay?)

And it also made Fu Lang let go of the hand that he had taken the initiative to hold after so much effort, so he couldn't bear it even more. (So ​​that's the point?)

"Okay." Zhang Wuliang grabbed Chen Xiaonian's hand back, looked at Wu Maoqian and said, "We just want to ask you, why are there so many fewer people on the street today?"

"Let's join in the fun." Wu Maoqian sat on the stool and shook Erlang's legs.

Zhang Wuliang continued to ask: "What's the excitement?" Chen Xiaonian became more honest when Zhang Wuliang grabbed his hand.

Wu Maoqian: "There is a noble man in Xianning Lane who won a golden grandson, and today he held a water banquet with full moon wine.

No matter who it is, you can go in and have a drink if you say a happy word, everyone goes. "

Zhang Wuliang: "Why didn't you go?"

Wu Maoqian raised his chin: "Why are you going there? Didn't you see that I still have a stall to set up?"

Zhang Wuliang pulled Chen Xiaonian: "Shall we go and see?"

Chen Xiaonian hesitated: "Not too good?"

"What's wrong? It's just to join in the fun, and it doesn't have to be something to eat."

Zhang Wuliang mainly wanted to see what the legendary flowing water banquet looked like.

"Okay." Chen Xiaonian was also curious: "How do we get there?"

"I know the way." Zhang Wuliang took Chen Xiaonian to Xianning Lane along the way he had walked before.

"Tsk..." Wu Maoqian looked at the backs of the two of them and let out a sneer. He would not tell them that there is a shortcut to this kind of people who have forgotten their brothers because of the excitement.

It took Zhang Wuliang and Chen Xiaonian a quarter of an hour to arrive at Xianning Lane.

Sure enough, the whole street here is very lively today, the gate of the courtyard with the plaque of "Zheng's House" is open, and there is an endless stream of guests coming and going.

Zhang Wuliang and Chen Xiaonian walked in from the main entrance, but were stopped by a guard of Zheng's house. The guard's attitude was extremely arrogant: "Can you mud legs come here? If you want to eat a water feast, go to the west side door."

Zhang Wuliang hurriedly protected Chen Xiaonian: "I'm sorry, big brother, we're new here and don't understand the rules, please forgive me."

The nurse waved impatiently: "Go, go."

Zhang Wuliang smiled apologetically: "Okay, okay, let's go." He took Chen Xiaonian and turned around to leave.

The taunt from the nursing home came from behind: "What the hell, looks young and strong, you know how to eat and drink."

"You!" Chen Xiaonian was angry and wanted to turn around to reason with him, Zhang Wuliang hugged him, and led him away from Zheng's house quickly.

"Brother Zhang..." Chen Xiaonian looked at him worriedly.

"I'm sorry, Xiaonian, it's all because I insisted on coming, and you were wronged..." Zhang Wuliang said, hugging him tightly.

Chen Xiaonian shook his head: "I am not wronged."

"Good" Zhang Wuliang stared ahead with a fierce look in his eyes, and the passers-by were startled by him.

Zhang Wuliang came back to his senses, patted Chen Xiaonian's head, and said, "As compensation, how about I take you to Yongxing Street? Maybe there will be a boat arriving at the pier."

"Okay" Chen Xiaonian replied obediently.

It was time for the two of them to arrive at the pier, but no boat arrived at the pier.Only one fleet was ready to leave, and the crew untied the rope, heaved the anchor and turned the rudder, and left the pier amidst shouts.

"Brother Zhang, where is this ship going?" Chen Xiaonian asked looking at the ship going away.

Zhang Wuliang shook his head: "I don't know, it should be far away, if we have a chance, we can go and have a look."

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat delicious food." Zhang Wuliang took his hand and went to Ruyi Restaurant.

The little girl from last time greeted him again: "Guest guest brought Fulang here this time?"

Zhang Wuliang asked curiously: "Do you still remember me?"

Xiaoer: "See what you said, you just came here a few days ago, can I still forget you?"

For the first time, Zhang Wuliang took a serious look at the waiter in the shop: Talented, I wonder if he can poach someone.

Xiao Er trembled all over: Why do you feel like you're being watched by something?Illusion?

The little second brother put on a decent smile again: "Is the guest officer still playing sharp this time?"

"En" Zhang Wuliang nodded: "This time we don't need a private room, just find us a place in the lobby."

"Okay!" Xiaoer led them to a quieter corner, Zhang Wuliang stopped at the corner: "Let's just sit here, is it okay?"

"No, no." Xiao Er pulled the cloth towel off his shoulders, wiped it on the bench and table: "Guest officer, please sit down."

Zhang Wuliang nodded, placed Chen Xiaonian on the quiet side, just blocked by a pillar, and then sat down on the opposite side: "Put on a pot of water, and then a piece of roasted duck with sauce, a piece of steamed fish, and a piece of stir-fried lotus root." , one fried fungus, two rice, that's it, hurry up."

"Hole, wait a moment." Xiaoer put on the cloth towel, turned around and sang, "One serving of roasted duck in sauce, one serving of steamed fish, one serving of fried lotus root, one serving of fried fungus, and two servings of rice!"

Zhang Wuliang smiled: "It's the first time I've heard this kind of dish name."

Chen Xiaonian nodded with puffed cheeks, feeling very novel.

Xiao Er brought the tea first, and Zhang Wuliang poured a cup for both of them, holding the cup and watching the eyes of the person sitting upright across from him.

"The roasted duck in sauce is here." Xiao Er put the dishes on the table: "You two guests, please take your time."

Zhang Wuliang nodded, picked up a piece of duck meat and put it in Chen Xiaonian's bowl: "Try it..."

"Oh." Chen Xiaonian took a bite: "It's delicious!"

"Eat more if it tastes good." Zhang Wuliang picked another piece for him, and said with a smile, "Slow down, no one will grab it from you."

"En" Chen Xiaonian stuck out his tongue, and slowed down his eating in embarrassment.
