Gospel of Lazy Cancer

On this day, Park Jiayan sent Yao Chen home as usual.

After getting out of the car, Yao Chen said, "Don't leave, I'll go back and get something."

Park Jiayan was a little surprised, this was the first time Yao Chen kept him.

My heart was up and down, flustered, a little apprehensive, and a little bit looking forward to it.

After waiting for a while, Yao Chen ran out from the village, holding a jar in his arms, which seemed to weigh several kilograms.

"Walk slowly, in a hurry, those nerds will definitely laugh at you again when they see it."

Yao Chen: Is it hard to say, be careful not to fall?

However, he still saw the worry and concern in the little wolf dog's eyes, so he thought about it and endured it.

"The house is simple and has a large population, so it's not convenient to entertain you. I don't have any valuables in my house. I'll take this jar of candied fruit to eat."

Yao Chen put the jar on the car, because there were thin beads of sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose when he ran over, and he didn't feel it, but Park Jiayan had already taken out a silk handkerchief to wipe his sweat, rubbing his slender and strong fingers against his skin, Itchy.

Yao Chen: Hmph, take advantage of me.

Pu Jiayan asked: "What kind of fruit did you use?"

"Green plums, I picked them myself and made them myself. The plums that were in season were hidden at the bottom of the well three months ago, and slowly marinated to taste."

Pu Jiayan's eyes showed a strange look: "We didn't recognize each other three months ago." Who did you make it for?

Yao Chen inexplicably got what he had said, and was a little speechless.

"I made it for myself to eat. There are only two jars, and I will share one jar with you." I personally picked the fleshy greengage, bought sugar and used all my savings.

"Oh, but I don't like to eat things that are too sweet." Even though I don't like to eat, I will still eat it all for you. Isn't it very touching?

"..." Love to eat or not!

Yao Chen was about to die of anger.

Think about it, this is his fare for this period of time, and it cannot be recovered, and the family members knew when he came out with the jar just now, so he can't take it back as it is.

Yao Chen had no choice but to explain: "First boil the salt to remove the sour water, then boil it in boiling water, and coat it with a thin layer of sugar, so it won't be very sweet."

"Oh, let me try it."

Park Jiayan: No matter what, it's the little rabbit's wish, I will eat it clean!

After sending Qingmei off, Yao Chen said again: "I'll trouble you to pick it up these days, so I won't bother you in the future."

Pu Jiayan was stunned, blinked his eyes, looking a little silly.It seemed that I couldn't believe what my ears heard.

Then, he languished almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his face was ugly.

He managed to maintain the calmness of his voice, forced a smile and said, "I don't need to see you off, what do you mean by that?" Can't kiss and hug in the future? !

"Well," Yao Chen nodded, as if he was in a dilemma, "There are some changes at home."

"What's changed? Don't you go to school in the city?" Pu Jiayan was almost going crazy, "Tell me what happened! We are so close, why are you still hiding me as an outsider!"

Yao Chen: Of course he's an outsider, he hasn't been promoted to be an insider yet...

"Don't worry," Yao Chen said, "It's a good thing. The biscuit business is doing well. My family plans to set up a shop in the city. I'll stay there temporarily at night, so I don't have to go home."

"So that's how it is. After you settle it, tell me where it is." Pu Jiayan said wearily.

Yao Chen's mood is smooth, but Park Jiayan's mood is not so good.

He felt that the little rabbit was playing tricks on him.

Bold and bold, as expected, there is arrogance and arrogance, and if you are close, you will not be inferior, and if you are far, you will complain.It's too difficult to raise!

Moreover, he was very concerned about finding a shop. Yao Chen asked others to help, even though he knew that Niu's family was a local snake, familiar with the market, and suitable for this job, but Park Jiayan just didn't mind.

Shouldn't the little rabbit only listen to himself and rely on himself alone?

Do you want to chill him?

He looked at the jar of green plums, lost in thought.

"Master, do you want to put it away?"

Seeing him staring at the jar for a long time, the servant asked carefully.

"You go down first."

Impatiently, he swung his servant back, took the knife, and used the back of the knife to knock off the mud seal on the jar. The jar was sealed with great care, except for the mud, there was thick oil paper and string tied tightly.

When he lifted the oil paper, he could smell the fragrance of plums, with a strange smell in it, a bit like mint, but also a bit spicy. He looked carefully and found a few purple leaves occasionally in the middle of the green plums, so he identified them. , It seems to be perilla.

Some people don't like the taste of perilla, but Pu Jiayan thinks it's okay, and Yao Chen doesn't put much, the taste is very light, but it just rightly highlights the sweetness and deliciousness of plums.

He picked one up and tasted it first. There were tiny cracks on it, which should have been made specially for marinating. The opening was not big and did not affect the appearance.

Take a small plate, fill a few, and prepare to put the jar back.

Yao Chen used several layers of oiled paper, and Park Jiayan found out that there was something between the layers of oiled paper.

It was a small note, perhaps accidentally mixed in.

There was a line of beautiful small characters written on it: "Lang rode a bamboo horse to make green plums around the bed."

Park Jiayan: Plums are so sweet.

It's all green plums, so why is it cold?

The previous thought of neglecting the little rabbit has long since disappeared.

The next day, Park Jiayan still got up early to work as a driver.

The Yao family had just settled the matter and rented the shop to prepare for the business. It would take some time to get everything done. During this time, he estimated that Yao Chen still had to be busy.

Sure enough, he saw that familiar figure, and the other party also saw him, and was taken aback for a while, followed by a look of surprise.The corners of Pu Jiayan's mouth slowly curled up unconsciously, it was obviously the plums he ate last night, but he still feels sweet in his mouth.

school.

Yao Chen and Niu Xiaoding discussed about renting a shop, and Park Jiayan helped to discuss the details.

"How did your house look at the shop the day before yesterday?" Niu Xiaoding asked.

"My grandfather and uncle went to see it. The location is nothing to say. There are so many people. There is also a night market during the festival, but the rent is [-]% higher than expected." Yao Chen felt helpless.

The Yao family is just an ordinary family, and the family assets of the peasant household are not bad, but it is too difficult to spend years of savings at one time and venture into the city to do business.

Farmers value the land, and they put farming first in everything, and the imperial court also avoids farming time when sending troops to fight.In the final analysis, the peasant uprisings in ancient times were all for the land and for the food.

Yao Chen knew that the current crops were low-yield. He had inquired that there were no high-yield crops like peanuts, sweet potatoes, and corns that cost thousands of catties per mu.The food produced by two acres of land can probably only feed a young man. The Yao family has forty acres of fertile land, which sounds like a lot, but his family also has a large population, and there are exorbitant taxes.It is also because of the good times in the past few years that the family has surplus.

In fact, this time it was caused by the matter of giving gifts to the Pu family. The grandpa of the Yao family suppressed this matter in his heart and smoked in silence for a long time before deciding to find a way out for the family.

"The man is reliable, and the owner's house is not unscrupulous, as long as the store is probably new, and your house can be used after tidying up, and at this price, it may not be easy to find it in a similar location." Niu Xiaoding didn't understand Yao. For the family's difficulties, his family has also made great efforts. The shop is really not bad, and it will definitely not deceive Yao Chen.

"I'll think about it again, and I'll get back to you in two days."

Park Jiayan listened silently.

The Yao family hadn't reached an agreement yet, and Niu Xiaoding rushed over excitedly.

"Good news, the owner of the shop has let go." Probably because he was in a hurry, he took a sip of water and then continued, "For some reason, he suddenly told that person that he was willing to drop another [-]% for the first three months. If you don’t have enough money, you can use millet to pay for the rent, so the rent will be restored to the original price after March based on the current grain price, and the rent will be paid on the first day of each month.”

This is exactly in line with the Yao family's bottom line.

The Yao family is not short of millet, but short of money. Now that the price of grain is low, there will be a price difference in the process of exchanging money, and there will be a lot of losses. Because the commodity economy is underdeveloped, there is very little silver in the market, and it is not always possible to exchange grain. into silver coins.

Although the rent will increase after March, the Yao family's business should be able to start by then, and the working capital will be enough to pay the next month's rent, not less than [-]%.Taking a step back, if the business fails, you can lose less.

"I'll go home and tell grandpa, thank you very much." Yao Chen said gratefully.

"You're welcome." Niu Xiaoding laughed cheerfully.

The matter of renting the shop was settled in this way. The two parties met under the arrangement of the middleman, and invited the local old man as a guarantee, made a written statement, and filed a record in the yamen.

The Yao family was very happy, a little nervous in their excitement, but overall they were full of hope, mainly because they had confidence in their own craftsmanship.Recently, Yao Chen's sales of cooking cakes are getting faster and faster, and they will be robbed almost immediately after arriving at the city gate, and he has been promoting it to regular customers.

"My shop will open in five days. Please take care of me. It's not far from here, go straight along the street, turn right at the restaurant and then two hundred steps away."

Everyone was very generous and congratulated, saying that it is time to open a shop, a hundred a day is really not enough.Big customers like Yan Duizheng also readily agreed, saying that they would definitely join in.

The Yao family packed up their things and rented an ox cart to go to the city.Because there are so many things, there is no room to sit in the car, and people can only walk on two legs.

This time it was Yao Chen's parents and Mrs. Li who entered the city. Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Li mainly mastered the food cooking techniques.But the grandfather of the Yao family was afraid that only the female family members would be unable to stand up, so he sent Yao Erlang to take care of him outside.

There are two elders and an uncle in the family who are working in the field, and they are barely busy. When it is farming time, they can either ask Yao Chen's father to go back, or let the farmer go out.Although there will be some losses, the fields will never be abandoned.

Yao Man was left at home to do housework. In addition to the fact that the family really needed manpower, another important reason was that the girl would marry one day, and the family always kept taboo and kept her from knowing the recipe.

Although Yao Xing wanted to go very much and had a few quarrels, he was still left behind. He was unstable and a little mischievous. The adults were in business, so it might be difficult for them to take care of him.

Immediately afterwards, there was a lot of busy work, cleaning and tidying up, buying cooking utensils, ingredients and firewood. Everyone was so busy that they didn't even touch the ground. Even Yao Chen didn't have time to hang out with Park Jiayan after school to help prepare for the opening.

At the same time, the money was flowing out, and the past few days were spent more than in the past year, which made Zhou gasp in distress, and he didn't know how much he worried in private.

That's how Yao's Cake Shop opened.

The steamer is steaming, and the mutton cakes emit an attractive aroma, which spreads out with the cool morning breeze.Someone found it by smelling it and asked how to sell the cakes.

Yao Erlang didn't know how to shout, he only greeted people with a smile, and said the price awkwardly.There are those who find it too expensive and walk away, and those who pay for it.

"It smells really good, I'll buy two."

"Okay!" Yao Erlang quickly collected the money, wrapped the pancakes and handed them over.He also said: "Today, the shop is newly opened. If you buy ten cash, you will get a bowl of syrup drink. The beans are freshly ground this morning, and you can eat them here. If you bring a bowl yourself, you can fill it up."

The milky white soy milk, although no sugar is added, has the natural fragrance and sweetness of beans. It is boiling in the pot, steaming hotly.It's really a good thing to have a big bowl in the morning, with delicious cooking cakes, a bite of meat, and a bite of soy milk.

Someone who lived close by went home and brought a big bowl to make soy milk. Yao Erlang didn't complain, saying that every bowl he gave would be a full bowl, and he also told him to be careful not to burn it.

Others actually have a good impression of him, and those who have a little more money will buy it and try it.After tasting it, it was praised and delicious. I bought a few more and brought them home to my wife.

Due to the high rate of positive reviews, many people watched the excitement. Those who bought it buried their heads in eating it, and praised it, and those who didn’t eat it smelled it, wondering if it was really so delicious.

One after another, regular customers came to the door again, and the front of the store became even more lively.

"You're Yao Erlang. I used to go to your Brother Chen's to buy pancakes. I wish you all the best of luck here." This is obviously a regular customer. After exchanging a few greetings and saying auspicious words, Yao Erlang thanked him for taking care of his sons, and specially selected a few older ones.

"Give me six."

"I want three."

"Ah, it's sold out? How long will it take for the next cage?"

In the morning, the three members of the Yao family basically had no time to rest. Li's and Zhou's worked hard in the back kitchen, steaming them in a basket, and they were sold out in a short while.When the sun comes up, the number of talents will gradually decrease.

By the end of the night, they had earned several hundred Wen, which made the Yao family very happy.

Yao Chen is more sensible: "In the first few days, everyone felt that it was new, and the business will be more popular, and then it will gradually drop, about half of the original."

"That's a lot." Everyone was very satisfied.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and the business of the Yao family was on the right track. Yao Erlang and the others had gotten used to the rhythm of doing business. They were busy in the morning and had no respite, and they would be free in the afternoon. They would pack their things and prepare for the next day's business.There is a small courtyard behind the shop, and I rest in the back at night. I was in a hurry to open the shop before, but now I finally have time to tidy it up.

The yard is quite spacious. Not only are there many rooms, but the upper tenant has also reclaimed a small vegetable field, which made Yao Erlang very happy. He planted Chinese cabbage and radishes, and watered them every day when he had time.Although he earns a lot from business, it is not as good as farming, which can make him feel at ease.

Li's and Zhou's cleaned it inside and out, sprinkled limestone, and even smoked moxa to remove the smell.

Yao Chen also finally had his own independent room, which was the best facing east, with excellent lighting and convenient for reading and practicing calligraphy. Others' rooms were on the other side, far away from the main street, very clean.

He finally had a chance to lure the wolf into the house.

On the holiday, Park Jiayan was invited to come to the house with a housewarming gift.

I met Yao Chen's parents first, and they smiled when they called uncle and aunt, and they behaved very kindly, not alienated at all.

Yao Chen: He probably prefers to be called father-in-law and mother-in-law.

What Pu Jiayan sent was also affordable and easy-to-use spices. He said they were from a sea freight forwarder, and they could be used in Yao's shop, which won him a lot of goodwill.When Yao Erlang and Zhou Shi met him for the first time, they both mistook him for a gentle and humble gentleman from a family.

Yao Chen: Yo, this kid has two faces.

The adults were still busy, so Yao Chen led Park Jiayan into the backyard.

Park Jiayan looked around while walking.

The yard is clean and tidy, and it can be seen at a glance. There are green radishes crawling on the wall, which have not been planted for a long time and are still a little sparse.Some vegetables were planted by the wall, and some things were placed in the corner, miscellaneous but not messy, a little more popular than before.

In fact, Park Jiayan had already been here once, and he thought it was good after seeing it, so someone secretly persuaded the host's family to give some subsidies and let him rent the shop and the courtyard to the Yao family.

Yao Chen led him to his room, poured a cup of tea, and moved the stool outside by himself.

The furnishings in the room are simple, and the furniture is already there. A bed, a cabinet, a table and a chair can only meet the basic needs.

The table is next to the window, very bright, which is convenient for Yao Chen to read and write.

Park Jiayan sat on the only chair in the room, through the window, he could clearly see Yao Chen's busy figure.

There were no servants to call around, Yao Chen ran around to treat guests by himself, Pu Jiayan didn't feel slighted, on the contrary, he was very useful, he liked to watch the little rabbits work around him for his own sake.

Yao Chen came over with a plate of dim sum, which Pu Jiayan had never seen before. They were round, the size of a fist, light yellow in color, a bit like rice cakes.

Yao Chen motioned for him to stretch out his hand, wiped it for him with a wet towel, and then wiped his own hands clean before they sat down to have a snack.

Pu Jiayan picked one, the skin was crispy, the inside was very soft, sweet and delicate, the taste was firm, and there was a strong milky aroma, he felt fresh, so he ate several in a row.

"What is it called?"

"Chicken cake."

Yao Chen also thought it was good, so he used it for a while.The fine white flour used was sieved several times with a sieve. Not only did it contain stone honey and milk, but also added grapefruit juice to remove the fishy smell of the egg. The whole egg was beaten, packed in a special mold, and baked in a simple oven. .The heat is really difficult to control, it will be very hard after a while, and it will be too soft and not fluffy enough. Zhou tried several times to succeed.

But the effort is worth it, even the less-heated test product, the family tasted it and said it was delicious, and Yao Chen also gave it to the village, the elderly and children liked it.

Yao Chen knew that his family opened a shop, and Park Jiayan actually contributed in secret, but the other party didn't mention it, and he didn't take the initiative to mention it.Just be a little more diligent and return some kindness.

After eating the snacks, Pu Jiayan said: "The weather is getting colder, and the mansion is about to cut me new clothes. I think you don't need much material for this body, so I made it together."

Yao Chen was not polite, instead he asked, "I want to measure my figure, have you brought a ruler?"

"No."

"The hemp rope?"

"none."

Park Jiayan: "You can do it with your hands."

Yao Chen: Tsk...

The little wolf dog worked very seriously.

One arm can hold the shoulder.

The chest is a bit thin.

The slender waist can be held with two hands.

crotch...

Yao Chen's face was dyed pink, and he could almost see the tail wagging happily behind Park Jiayan.

He was half-embraced by Park Jiayan, surrounded by the aggressive aura of young people, like the tide washing over the beach, wave after wave.

A slightly muffled voice came from the ear.

"Do you want to be my man?"
