Zhangjia biscuits shop

Ever since Zhang Ergou, oh no, Zhang Yuanchen reported his name, Su Qi didn't dare to delay, neither exchanged pleasantries nor talked about family affairs, so he temporarily asked the clerk of the shop next door to help look after the shop, while he took him to the dilapidated room behind to watch Zhang pie.

Zhang Dabing suffered from typhoid fever accumulated over many years, so his body was very weak. It had rained in the autumn two days ago, and his joints were so sore that he couldn't even walk on the ground. Now he is still lying in the house.Earlier, Su Qi was afraid that he would be bored, so he brought the pair of canaries he raised. Zhang Dabing didn't know the price of the pair of canaries, but thought they were ordinary birds, so he got out of bed and sat in front of the eaves to get them Xiaomi feeds the birds, and goes to the shop when he can walk, and Su Qi has to come back every hour to urge him to drink medicine, so he doesn't feel bored on weekdays.

There are three rooms in Zhang Dabing’s house, one is the kitchen, the other is the bedroom, and the hall. When Su Qi brought Zhang Yuanchen over, he happened to be carrying the bird cage and teasing the pair of sparrows with the dog’s tail grass. He sat by the door of the hall and watched. weather.Seeing Su Qi coming, he nodded without paying much attention, but before he called out "A Qi", he widened his eyes, stopped the movement of his hands, and poked his head hesitantly with his beard shaking, Said, "Two... Gouzi?"

Su Qi couldn't hold back, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he just secretly looked to the side, wanting to see the reaction of Zhang Yuanchen beside him, but unfortunately Zhang Yuanchen didn't show any flaws, just nodded, walked forward, and yelled "Dad ".

"Hey, it's really you, Ergou!" Zhang Dabing was so excited that he burst into tears, hurriedly threw away the birdcage and wiped his eyes with his sleeves, and then reached out to welcome his son, whom he hadn't seen for many years, Zhang Yuanchen also let him snot and cry All rubbed on their clothes.Su Qi, who was ignored, went to check his bird distressedly, and clicked his tongue twice, thinking that Zhang Yuanchen really wore the black clothes correctly, if he wore white clothes, his father would have ruined him long ago.

However, Su Qi complained and complained, in fact, he was very happy that his father and father reunited—of course, it would be better if Zhang Ergou was not some general. He couldn't help being grateful to Bai Lilan for allowing him not to go to the early court, otherwise the two of them would meet up and in the shop, and the dramatic effect would definitely be excellent: these days, even officials should be selling sesame seed cakes!

The father and son of the Zhang family were still there talking about the family’s shortcomings. Zhang Yuanchen also told his father about his current position. A lot of stability, and moreover, the new lieutenant general is very efficient, so I implore the emperor to give him a few months' leave, and return to the capital to visit my father.

Hearing this, Su Qi couldn't help shivering when he thought that he was going to stay with this person for so long. The parents couldn't bear to listen to it anymore.

So on this day, the Zhang family biscuit shop closed early on a rare occasion. When others came to inquire, they heard that Zhang Dabing’s son who had disappeared for many years was found. It is said that he was a general guarding the border, but this son was filial. To show my filial piety to my father, I asked the emperor to leave for a few months to stay in Kyoto, and I also plan to inherit his father's shop and roll up my sleeves to start the biscuit business.This time, Zhangjia Shaobing shop has spread a new drama, and it is a legend that is tighter than a legend, so the business is naturally coming in continuously.

Although there were rumors going on and goings-on outside, all kinds of gossip and excitement, but the atmosphere in the broken tile house was not affected. Because Zhang Dabing was happy because his son was back, he could go down to the ground, and his hands and feet were much more flexible. , so he asked Su Qi if he could stay and have dinner with him tonight, as a celebration. Su Qi originally wanted to stay away from Zhang Yuanchen, but couldn't stand Zhang Dabing's enthusiasm, so he agreed. Help Zhang Dabing prepare meals together.

A dim vegetable oil lamp, a broken table that has been bitten by countless insects, eight plates of various colors and different sets, although the conditions are a bit difficult, it does not affect the enthusiasm of Su Qi and Zhang Dabing at all. , one was steaming eggs in front of the stove, the other was frying celery and pork belly (what kind of dish is this?!), and the other rushed to the nearest Wuxiangfang to buy half a catty of braised duck neck because he heard about the reunion of Zhang Dabing and his son. News, the proprietress of Wuxiangfang was excited and gave Su Qi two taels of peanuts.

They were busy inside and out, and the only one who was idle was Zhang Yuanchen. He held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help finding Su Qi who was peeling fish scales outside, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Su Qi was busy dealing with the fresh crucian carp bought at [-]% off in his hand. After thinking for a while, he asked, "You are a general, can you know how to use a knife? If you are good with a knife, go and shred that potato."

Zhang Yuanchen was taken aback, and said, "I learned swordsmanship..."

Su Qi rolled his eyes, thinking that he really is General Yudian who doesn't know the sufferings of the world, not to mention that he has never cooked since he joined the army, so he said casually, "Then don't go, help me wipe my sweat. Because he was busy disemboweling the crucian carp, he was so busy that he couldn't spare his hands to wipe his sweat, so he gestured to the towel around his neck with his eyes, "I don't have hands, and I can't wipe it off." On the forehead, the sweat is coming down and squeezed into the eyes." (I don't know if it will be so hot in winter, but I can only say that you are young and angry.)

Zhang Yuanchen was stunned again, then reached out to take the towel, knelt down and approached Su Qi, and made a gesture to wipe his forehead. For convenience, Su Qi poked his head over, closed his eyes and waited, while ordering, "Wipe Carefully, at the corner of the right eye, and then to the right."

It gets dark quickly in winter, although it is still early, but within a few blinks, the bird's nest on the camphor tree in front of the gate of the compound can no longer be seen clearly. Su Qi was sitting on the threshold to clean up the fish, because it was convenient Zhang Yuanchen raised his head as he wiped his sweat, and turned slightly to face the only light source in the room.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, with his eyes closed and his head half raised, the light came dimly, casting light and shadows on his face, and even the contours of his face looked softer, falling into Zhang Yuanchen's eyes , that look, that posture, that shadow, that face shape, are definitely standard human body proportions, comparable to the statue of David (does he know David).

It's pretty good-looking, this was Zhang Yuanchen's first reaction, he didn't think it was weird to praise someone of the same sex so much, because he didn't think much about it, he just thought that Su Qi looked quite like a handsome young man.This thought flashed by, and as he put the towel back around Su Qi's neck and said "Okay", it disappeared.

Su Qi didn't know what Zhang Yuanchen was thinking just now, so he responded with satisfaction, turned his head and continued to peel the fish.

It's Zhang Dabing. Just now, he poked half his head out of the kitchen with a pot and spoon, and wanted to ask his son if he could eat spicy food. When he saw his son wiping Su Qi's sweat, he couldn't help but smack his lips after watching it for a while. Said, "Hey, my son seems to be very careful and gentle. I don't know if I have a daughter-in-law..." Then I thought that my son is already 27. If the average person is so old, even the child will be soy sauced, so he couldn't bear it. Zhu hehe smiled, and said in his heart that he would have to ask about it at the dinner table later.

And here, Zhang Yuanchen had nothing to do and simply sat down to chat with Su Qi.

Su Qi was working, and answered the conversation one after another. He told the story of how he and Zhang Dabing learned how to make biscuits, and said that he planned to make biscuits here in the future. Zhang Yuanchen came to take care of Zhang Dabing Bing, so that he would not be too busy on both sides, so that Zhang Dabing would not be able to recuperate properly.

Zhang Yuanchen listened, he didn't talk much, occasionally answered a few words and asked a few questions.When Su Qi finally cleaned up the fish and stood up to stretch himself, Zhang Yuanchen suddenly asked, "By the way, after talking so much, I still don't know your name. Where are you from in Kyoto?"

Su Qi was stunned for a moment, the fish in his hand almost had two holes in it, and he replied slowly, "I just come from an ordinary family, and I live not far from here, just call me Aqi." Su Qi The young master of the family naturally lives in the Su family, and it is not too far away from here. What he said was true and false, and Zhang Yuanchen didn't suspect anything.It's just that he felt that he was worried that people would see the clues, and said, "Master is probably waiting for the fish too anxiously", and hurriedly grabbed the fish and ran away.

It’s just that the kitchen and the hall are two adjacent rooms, and Su Qi couldn’t go anywhere in such a big place. Zhang Yuanchen sat by the door and didn’t get up, but turned up the volume, “Ah Qi, how old are you this year?” gone?"

"26..." Su Qi's voice came out from the sound of cooking in the kitchen.

"26," Zhang Yuanchen lowered his head and thought about it, "one year younger than me, since you are my father's apprentice, shouldn't you call me senior brother?"

Su Qi squinted and stuck out half of his head from the kitchen, "Can I call you brother dog?"

Zhang Yuanchen choked for a moment, "My father also called me Yuanchen, you should still be like my father, just call me Achen."

"How is Brother Ash?"

"...with you."
