Nanshanxia

Seeing that Zhu Yan stopped talking to him, Qi Lianhai immediately restrained the playful look on his face. He moved to Zhu Yan's side, bumped Zhu Yan with his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "It's actually not that obvious. If I didn't look carefully, I'm sure I won't find out either, the kids around me are all like you, it's not a big deal if your husband loses weight, I'll invite you to a restaurant to make a big tonic soup some other day, and you'll get everything back."

This long string of words, in Zhu Yan's ears, was more annoying than Tang Seng's magic spell. He raised his eyes to look at Qi Lianhai, and suddenly thought of something, his deep eyes flashed with a smile, and he asked Qi Lianhai: "Brother Lian Hai, don't you know too much?"

"Cough, cough, cough." Qi Lianhai's face was flushed, and he didn't know how to answer Zhu Yan for a while. He turned his head to look at Lu Zhaofu, who was chatting with Lao Zhu's family at this time, his face became even redder, and he pretended not to care. Rubbing his face, he answered Zhu Yan solemnly, "Hey, brother Zhu, are you kidding me? How many of us men don't understand?"

After listening to Qi Lianhai's explanation, Zhu Yan showed a meaningful smile. He wanted to continue teasing Qi Lianhai, but Yuan Xiao trotted to him and motioned him to look back with his eyes. He found his stall In front of him stood two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, and now they were looking at him with fake smiles on their faces, so Zhu Yan knew that something was wrong.

"You two are here to buy bean curds?" Zhu Yan stood in front of his family, carefully sizing up the two people in front of him.

A fat man among the two of them smiled at his small eyes, and introduced himself to Zhu Yan and the others first, "Little brother, we are from Zhen's Baozi Shop. My name is Zhen Dehao. That's my younger brother." Zhen Dewang, I greeted your uncle earlier, and said that when you come to town, you will sign a business contract with us, we have been waiting here for you every day for the past few days, and now it is finally here."

After hearing this, Zhu Yan recalled what his uncle said at home a few days ago. He turned around and nodded to his relatives, then turned and continued to say to the brothers of the Zhen family: "My uncle told us about this when he came home. Having said that, we also know that we don’t know how you two want to set the price.”

Seeing that Zhu Yan spoke and acted neatly, the boss of the Zhen family exchanged glances with his younger brother, and then took the initiative to lean forward and said, "The price needs to be negotiated between the two of us before we can settle it. Why don't we take a chance?"

Now that everyone is in a busy market, it is really inappropriate to negotiate the price rashly in front of everyone. After Zhu Yan and the old lady Zhu finished their discussions, they asked Qi Lianhai and Lu Zhaofu to take care of the booth, and he brought Yuan Xiao and Mrs. Zhu along. The wife followed the Zhen family brothers to the teahouse in front of the stall.

After entering the teahouse, the two brothers of the Zhen family asked for a pot of tea, and invited Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao to sit down. Before Zhu Yan could speak, the boss of the Zhen family took the initiative to control the speech. He smiled at Zhu Yan and said: "Little brother is really young and promising. My brother and I admire him for being able to accomplish such a great thing at such a young age. We are here today to do a long-term business with little brother."

"Well, yes, we Ming people don't talk dark words. My tofu costs four yuan a piece, and the bean curd stick costs ten yuan a catty. During the cooperation period, the price will not increase or decrease." Zhu Yan vaguely noticed that his family Yuan Xiao's complexion was a little ugly. He hated the Zhen family brothers opposite, so he didn't want to talk nonsense, thinking that this business could be successful, or not.

The boss of the Zhen family laughed twice, rolled his eyes, and said patiently to Zhu Yan and the old lady Zhu next to him, "Actually, we have a better way to cooperate, that is, we will give you 50 taels, and you Tell us how to make tofu and yuba, what do you think?"

"What? What are you talking about?" The old lady Zhu looked at the Zhen family brothers as if she didn't understand.

The Zhen family brothers thought that the old lady Zhu was moved by their idea, and affirmed more confidently: "You heard me right, as long as you tell me how to make tofu and yuba, we will give you 50 taels of silver."

"That's right, such a good thing, where can I come across it, hurry up and discuss it, or we won't wait until it's overdue." The second child of the Zhen family brothers also spoke at this time.

But just after the second son of Zhen's family finished speaking, Yuan Xiao suddenly realized, grabbed Zhu Yan's arm, and said in front of everyone, "Ah Yan, I remembered who they are, they are the tofu sellers who were recommended by the two of us earlier. The first one, they didn't even pay attention to us at that time, they just kicked us out, even the skinny guy scolded us."

"What the hell? Scolding my grandson?" The old lady Zhu listened clearly, thinking that the two uneasy and kind bosses in front of her were not only thinking about his family's recipes for making tofu and yuba, but also scolding her baby before. Grandson, I wish the old lady didn't want to bear it anymore this time, she waved her hand and said cheerfully: "Well, we won't do this business."

At the same time, Zhu Yan carefully looked at the thin black man in front of him, and remembered that there was such a thing in the past. He and Yuan Xiao did go to their steamed stuffed bun shop before they went to Meimeixuan to sell tofu. At that time, it seemed that only the thin man The second child is at home, and the fat boss is not present, but no matter who is there or what, according to the greed of the two brothers in front of him, this business must never be done, and there is no need for him to bear with the person Yuan Xiao hates. with.

"This... It was all a misunderstanding before. I was not at home that day, and my brother drank some wine, so he didn't know who he was. I wish you no blame, brother." The boss of the Zhen family tried his best to win back Zhu Yan and the others. When Zhu Yan insisted on leaving, he stretched out two more fingers, "add another 20 taels, a total of 70 taels to buy your recipe, but I have to add a condition, in the future, your family will be crowned with our Zhen family's bean curd sticks. The name, let alone sell the prescription to others."

The boss of the Zhen family is thinking about real beauty, and before they agreed, they started to say these meaningless words. If there is a trick in their brains and they really sell it to his family, is it still good?

Zhu Yan and the old lady Zhu looked at each other, stood up and looked down at the two brothers who were sitting on the stool, with a smile on their faces, "We don't sell prescriptions, yuba and tofu are only named after our old Zhu's family name."

"You, are you stupid, or what's the matter? 70 taels, how can you earn so much money here!" The second son of the Zhen family also got up. Although his height is not much different from Zhu Yan, he is not as good as Zhu Yan He looks strong and strong, and his imposing manner is also slightly inferior to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan sneered at the sound, stared at the second son of the Zhen family, and said word by word: "Listen well, we only sell finished products, not prescriptions."

"My Ayan is right. We don't sell prescriptions, let alone put your family's surname on our own things." The old lady Zhu also stood up, and glared at Zhen's second child with her hips on her hips.

The atmosphere became more and more tense, and the boss of the Zhen family once again asked to stay, "If you don't do this business, don't regret it in the future."

"I don't regret it." Zhu Yan answered cleanly, turned around and left with Yuan Xiao and Mrs. Zhu who had already got up.

After leaving the teahouse, the old lady Zhu couldn't hold back for a while, and began to curse again, "I've never seen such a greedy person, you really think us stupid!"

"Grandma, don't be angry. From now on, it's enough for our family to hide from such people. You don't have to be like them." Zhu Yan smiled, and secretly grabbed Yuan Xiao's hand, and the two followed the old lady Zhu and walked side by side. with.

It is almost noon now, and the old lady Zhu guessed that the food at the stall should be almost sold out, so she turned her head and assigned Zhu Yan a new task, "Ah Yan, I will go back to the stall by myself, you and Yuan Xiao Go buy some salt and come back, our family has been cooking all kinds of food recently, and the salt is used up quickly, you two buy more, and buy some star anise leaves by the way, and save it for future cooking."

"Okay, Yuan Xiao and I will go here." After watching the old lady Zhu leave, Zhu Yan took Yuan Xiao to another street to buy salt.

On the way to buy salt, Zhu Yan took Yuan Xiao's hand and wandered the street. He remembered the appearance of Yuan Xiao and himself when he sued him in the teahouse before, and he couldn't hold back for a moment, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, Yuan Xiao Xiao, you have such a good memory."

"Of course, I remember clearly the days when I was with you." Yuan Xiao smiled with eyes like crescent moons, and walked side by side with Zhu Yan on the street. Holding Zhu Yan once, when Zhu Yan looked at him, his face was a little hot, "Ah Yan, do you have anything you want to eat in particular, let's buy some and go home."

"Ah?" Zhu Yan didn't quite understand Yuan Xiao's words, and asked again: "Aren't we two going to buy salt? Do you want to eat pork?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xiao shook his head like a rattle. He looked at Zhu Yan steadfastly, "I don't eat, I pick what you want."

"What do I want to eat?" Zhu Yan pulled Yuan Xiao to stand on the side of the street, he looked at the blush on Yuan Xiao's face, and became more and more puzzled.

"Yeah." Knowing that Zhu Yan didn't understand what he meant, Yuan Xiao whispered in Zhu Yan's ear, "I heard what you and Qi Lianhai said, he said you were tired, I thought, I want you to eat Make it up, make it up."

Zhu Yan finally understood these words. He stretched out his hand to touch Yuan Xiao's head, with a smile on his face, and said in a volume that the two of them could hear: "The most delicious thing for me is you."

"Ah Yan..." Yuan Xiao raised his head and gave Zhu Yan an angry look, with tenderness in his eyes.

Zhu Yan knew that Yuan Xiao felt sorry for him, but he drank spring water every day, and his health was extremely good. He didn't feel tired at all, and he looked forward to the night when it got dark every day.

But Yuan Xiao insists on this now, if Zhu Yan is not obedient at this time, I am afraid that he will lose his benefits at night, so in desperation, he bought a pork kidney and a piece of pork belly, and then continued to take Yuan Xiao to buy salt.

The salt and other condiments that the old lady Zhu gave were all in a shop. After Zhu Yan finished shopping, he and Yuan Xiao walked around the shop, then they left the shop together and walked towards their stall.

When Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao returned to the stall, the stall had already been closed, and Qi Lianhai and Lu Zhaofu had already left, so Zhu Yan drove the donkey cart back home with his family.

When the donkey cart passed by the entrance of the village, the old lady Zhu exclaimed, "Bai Zhen, don't you think that's the boss of the old Sun family? We haven't seen him for a year!"

Bai Zhen followed the eyes of the old lady Zhu, and after confirming that the man was Sun Yuzhu's eldest brother, she also said: "I heard from other people in the village that the boss of the old Sun family has been working as a long-term worker in the next town all year round, why is he back now?" ?”

"I was hoping that he would find his wife and come back to announce the good news, so that our Tiedan would not have to suffer from lovesickness every day." The old lady Zhu sighed, and then stopped talking.

After hearing this, Zhu Yan raised the small leather whip in his hand and continued to drive on the road. When the donkey cart was about to arrive home, Zhu Yan looked at the three people standing at the door of his house not far away. He and Yuan Xiao looked at each other. Then he turned to the old lady Zhu behind him and said, "Grandma, someone is at our door."

"What?" The old lady Zhu got up and took a closer look, and after recognizing the person who came, she said to Zhu Yan: "Ah Yan, hurry up, those are Sun Yuzhu's parents and second brother."

"Okay!" Zhu Yan also got excited, and it didn't take long to park the donkey cart at the door of his house.

In fact, the family still misses Zhu Tiedan very much. As soon as the old lady Zhu saw the old Sun's couple, she immediately got off the donkey cart and said politely to the old Sun's couple: "Oh, my relatives, why are you here?" , Come with us into the house and sit down, drink a cup of hot tea and rest."

"No, don't bother, we two are here to discuss with you about the younger generation." Sun Yuzhu's father, Sun Dafu waved his hands and refused, and at the same time looked at the donkey cart of Lao Zhu's family and the pork belly in Yuan Xiao's hand , Immediately looked envious, just imagine if my brother married here, how would he suffer?Now that the family members have figured it out, they don't care about the rules and regulations, after all, such in-laws are not easy to find.

"Okay, let's talk about it here." The old lady Zhu signaled Bai Zhen to stay, and the other children led the donkeys into the yard, doing what they should do.

Sun Dafu glanced at his mother-in-law, stepped forward with a smile, and said, "What was wrong with us before, because of the marriage between the eldest and second child, and Yuzhu's marriage, Mrs. Cheng stood at the door of my house and scolded us a few days ago. , we scolded us for not daring to go out all day, and we also thought a lot this day, thinking about who will get married first, or not."

The words were so clear that the old lady Zhu was also happy. She glanced at Bai Zhen who also had a smile on her face, and she went straight to the point of Sun Dafu. "Oh, I'm just waiting for your pleasant talk, then let's set a date!"

"Your in-laws have the final say." Sun Dafu glanced at his mother-in-law, remembered the almanac he had checked yesterday, and suggested again: "Why don't we arrange the marriage a few days before the twelfth lunar month, when the family is not busy at that time, There are so many people, and getting married in those few days is easy to get rich!"

"..." The old lady Zhu smiled awkwardly for a while, and then settled the matter. After the old Sun's family left with their second son, she silently whispered to Bai Zhen: "It was really easy to get married in those few days." Is he getting rich? Shouldn't I remind Ah Yan as well?"

Now that the marriage between Tie Dan and Sun Yuzhu has been finalized, it has become a great joy for the old Zhu's family. When Tie Dan came back for dinner at night, the old lady Zhu deliberately put a piece of fat on Tie Dan to warm her face. Tie Dan cheered up, "Tie Dan, after getting married with the brother you like, you have to work harder to support him and the child, so that you really grow up."

"Yes, Cousin Tie Dan, let's work hard together in the future." Zhu Yan poured Zhu Tie Dan a glass of wine from the sidelines. The two brothers drank a glass and were about to have a second glass when there was a knock on the door of the house up.

No one expected that it was the old Sun's family who knocked on the door this time. Sun Dafu was so anxious that his face was sweating, and he went to look for Zhu Tiedan when he entered the yard. He muttered to himself, "Yatzhu didn't come to see you, where did it go?"
