I sold snacks in ancient times

One day later, Miao Medicine Shop.

Yin Xu wants to take Ye Zi to see Lao Miao's wife and daughter.He bought a few gifts on purpose and went to visit before noon.

Lao Miao's daughter is called Miao Yueyu. Although her name is graceful and pleasant, she has pockmarks all over her face, which ruins the beauty of her entire face. She has not married yet.

It turned out that Lao Miao's wife and daughter lived in the countryside.Now that the world is not peaceful, they came to the town, accompanied by men, looking for a safe life.

Since Ye Zi was brought up by Mrs. Miao, she presumably has a deep relationship with the Miao family.

As soon as the two arrived at the small courtyard of the pharmacy, with Yin Xu's permission, he immediately went to find his wife with a gift.

Yin Xu made an appointment with Qi Yongfan to fish lobsters and soak in hot springs in the afternoon, and was anxious to go back, so he asked Ye Zi to stay at Miao's house first, and he went out to play by himself.

Today's weather is just right, the wild cats on the roadside stretch their necks lazily in the warm afternoon sun.Maybe it's because summer is about to enter, so the breath is inevitably mixed with a bit of hot fire.It was dull, and the clouds in the sky were also stained with a gray color.

Walking through the mountain roads in villages and towns, and then crossing the streets and alleys of the city, Yin Xu walked to the door of his house, thought for a while, and knocked on the door of Qi's house.

Qi Yongfan's house was quite dilapidated at first, and the old broken wooden door exudes a rotten smell all the year round.But a while ago, after he hired someone to renovate it, it has improved a lot, and it has been replaced with a brand new pear wood wide double-layer gate.

There was a knock on the door like a monsoon in the rainy season, and soon there was a response from the room, "Who is it? Come right away."

Yin Xu couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely: "It's me."

He thought that Qi Yongfan would definitely recognize his voice.

Qi Yongfan opened the door.He was about to work just now, and the short cloth sweater on his body was sticky to his bare-chested body, and a male-specific sweaty smell came to his face.

The hair has also grown a lot, and the unkempt and messy black hair hanging down over the ears makes the handsome face even whiter.

He scratched his head, "It's not afternoon yet."

Yin Xu said: "Well, but I want to leave early."

"What are you going to do?" Qi Yongfan was stunned for a moment.

Yin Xu: "...you agreed to take me to the hot springs for lobster fishing."

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Qi Yongfan said embarrassingly: "You go home and wait for me first, I'll go change my clothes. Let Ye Zi come over and pack some food to take on the road."

"The leaves are not here." Yin Xu's voice was deliberately lowered a few degrees, as if he was saying something shameful and ambiguous, "It's just the two of us today."

However, Qi Yongfan's rough nerves did not make him realize that there was something wrong.What's more, he had just finished working, and he was exhausted all over, so he hardly listened to what the other party was saying, and closed the door after a few perfunctory words, and went back to the car to take a hot bath.

Turning on the air conditioner at 17 degrees, after taking a hearty battle bath, Qi Yongfan put on a blue cloth short hexagram, cleaned himself up a little, and then went to pack a meal.

It is estimated that I will eat outside at night. There are no fat beasts in this season, so bring more meat.Potential to catch fish or catch lobster, so bring seasoning...  

All in all, he sorted out a big bag.

However, Ye Zi was not there, and he doubted whether he and Qi Yongfan could drive the carriage and travel smoothly with this pile of things.

The fact is that he underestimated Yin Xu's ability to take care of himself too much.

Yin Xu not only drives a carriage, but also rides a horse.The old driver was mighty on the road, driving at a fast speed, and arrived at the small river without much effort.

In summer, the fish meat is plump, and when the temperature rises, the small fish and shrimps have food to eat, and their size soars.There is little food in the villages and towns, and fish and shrimp are very popular among the people.

So now a group of big brothers and children are surrounded by the river, fishing and catching shrimp, and they are very busy.

Even the women who came to do the laundry with their buckets in their arms were forced to live in a corner.

Yin Xu was not very happy, he didn't expect that after a while, this small river has been occupied by others.

Qi Yongfan saw a familiar figure in the army of fishing and catching shrimps, his eyes lit up, and he hurried forward.

It turned out to be the boy who sold crayfish before.He has now become a supplier of Xiaxing Tavern, and he can provide a lot of fish and shrimp every day.Crayfish were scarce, and Qi Yongfan took most of them home and burned them himself.A small number of them were sold to wealthy families in the town at exorbitant prices, and there were some rich and stupid foodies like Guan Gu who rushed to buy them.

The boy seemed to be the leader in the crowd, commanding an army of little kids to grab fish and shrimp from the men.In this regard, children are born with an advantage, and the crayfish caught are full of a large basket.

When he saw Qi Yongfan, he was slightly surprised, and quickly came up to him and said, "Boss Qi, why are you here?"

Qi Yongfan smiled and said: "I have a friend who eats red shrimp and wants to experience the fun of fishing by himself. Can you make room for me?"

"Of course!" The boy said positively, "I know a remote ditch just ahead, and there are a lot of red shrimps in it..."

"Thank you." Qi Yongfan Sai gave him a piece of silver.

Originally, Yin Xu was quite unhappy, and planned to go straight to the mountain to soak in the hot springs instead of fishing for lobsters.But after being taken to that remote ravine, he was satisfied again.

Looking around, there is no one there, only him and Qi Yongfan, isn't it a good place for a tryst...

It seems that something is not quite right.Yin Xu was taken aback by the strange thoughts that popped up in his head, his heart was beating so fast that he was almost about to jump out.

Qi Yongfan didn't notice this, but he was also very satisfied with the quiet here, no one disturbed.The carriage stopped not far from the grass, and he went to carry the bench and picnic cloth, and took out the snacks in the lunch box and arranged them neatly.

And Yin Xu has already picked up the fishing rod with great interest, ready to start fishing for lobsters.

Crayfish are mostly silly.The fishing rod used for fishing soon attracted a large basket of bait.

Tired of fishing, Yin Xu half-lyed on the picnic cloth and looked sideways at the man squatting by the river.

Qi Yongfan was squatting beside a rock and cooking crayfish. He removed the head and tail of each shrimp, picked out the shrimp line, and cleaned the abdomen.It took about half an hour before he finished cooking a basket of crayfish.

He brought an iron pot over, set up a few big stones nearby, burned some grass in it, and it was right to be used as a stove.

Boil the crayfish in clear water first, and remove the shrimp after they are fully cooked.After washing the pot, add salt, monosodium glutamate, onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fry, and then add a small piece of hot pot seasoning, which is fragrant, and the fragrance is carried downstream with the wind.

Those people who were fishing for shrimps by the river couldn't help but sniff, they were all hungry.

"Tsk tsk, who's cooking, it's so delicious!"

"I'm hungry..."

"Who doesn't get hungry after smelling this scent?"

Only the little boy in the lead glanced at the end of the river, thoughtful.

……

The two ate an open-air crayfish feast, accompanied by a pot of brewed rice wine that was packaged, and chilled in the river water, and the throat was extremely refreshing.

Yin Xu lay comfortably on the ground, looked at the blue and clear sky, and sighed: "How wonderful it would be if I could live such a life every day?"

"Isn't this just retirement life?" Qi Yongfan said, "If you only have money, what life can't you live?"

"There is some truth in what you said." Yin Xu smiled, "But if you become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme of Great Yin and the richest person in the whole world, is it possible that you can be so relaxed and comfortable?"

Qi Yongfan asked back: "Is the emperor the richest person in the whole world?"

"Under the whole world, could it be that the king's land..."

"Can all these lands be sold for money?"

Yin Xu froze for a moment.

"Money is very important, and nothing can replace it. But I think freedom is the most important thing."

Since coming to ancient times, Qi Yongfan felt this way more and more.He can completely rely on the snack truck to make a fortune, and the unlimited supply of snacks can even make him the richest person in Da Yin.

However, it is a crime to conceive a jade, which will undoubtedly make him lose his freedom.So he is not in a hurry to make money. All in all, eating well, drinking well, and living a good life is the best mentality at present.

Yin Xu was speechless for a moment.He was thinking about Qi Yongfan, and suddenly he couldn't see through him.

After tidying up his things, Qi Yongfan saw that it was almost evening, so he turned around and asked, "Do you still want to go to the hot spring?"

"Don't go, it will be bad to meet wolves again when you come back."

Yin Xu shook his head.Besides, the mountain road is rugged, the carriage cannot be driven up, and it is too tiring to walk on foot.

The two went back home.On the road, I met the little boy selling red shrimp, and asked them if they wanted a basket of red shrimp.

Qi Yongfan said to send him to Xia Xing Tavern.

Back home, after a while, Qi Yongfan grabbed two popsicles and knocked on the door of his house, asking him, "Do you want to eat ice?"

Yin Xu was a little skeptical: "The temperature is so high now, why is there still ice?"

Qi Yongfan put on a pretense and said with a smile: "There is an ice cellar under the ground of my house. I stored some in winter, and it hasn't melted yet."

He took out the unmelted northeast old popsicle wrapped in oil paper and stuffed it into Yin Xu's hand, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Yin Xu tore off the greased paper and licked a popsicle, it was sweet and different from the ones he had tasted in the palace before.He thought about it carefully, and said in a daze, "Cook something casually, I don't have anything I particularly want to eat today."

Qi Yongfan looked around the room, "Yezi hasn't come back yet?"

"I thought it would be very late, so I asked him to stay in the pharmacy for a while."

"Okay, then I'll make some casually, and I'll call you for dinner later."

Yin Xu took another bite of the popsicle and said vaguely, "Is there any more ice? I still want to eat it."

"Yes, let's have it after dinner. I'll make a fruit smoothie for you."

Yin Xu was inexplicably looking forward to it.

The sweltering heat of the afternoon dissipated, the sky was dark, dark clouds enveloped the clear sky, and the sound of rain poured down.

The rainwater flows through the dry land, through the bricks and tiles of the houses, every plant and tree, and flows through Yin Xu's fingertips.

He was standing under the eaves, the wind blowing through his white robe, and the slightly shaking hem was hanging by his feet.The jujube tree stands blankly against the wall, its green and astringent fruits swaying with the leaves.

The smell of frying oil smoke from next door, mixed with the coolness of the rainy season, rushes into the nose, bringing a dull smell of fireworks.

The sound of rain came from far and near.

Summer is coming.
