Chapter 17: Chance Encounters
"Anchor, I want to try Xingyuanxuan's walnut crisp. ”
"Anchor, the little woman wants to have a dress that a modern woman wears. ”
"Anchor, the old man likes to drink, and he wanted to take a sip before he died, but unfortunately he couldn't speak at that time. ”
"Anchor ......"
Looking at the requests one by one, it was not too troublesome, and Li Yan agreed to them one by one.
"It seems that the audience is quite understanding and does not make excessive demands. ”
Li Yan is very pleased, fans are more rational, so he won't be too difficult to do.
However, he didn't be happy for long, and a comment popped up: "Anchor, the old man is from Majia Village, Beitang Town, Funing County, and once served as the county magistrate of Funing County, died in an accidental fire and failed to return to his roots, can you please ask the anchor to go back to my hometown to see." ”
glanced at the nickname of this audience, called Funing County Ling Ma Tao, the name is slightly familiar, and it should be a relatively high fan value.
Touching his chin, Li Yan fell into deep thought, when he was in high school, he heard the history teacher say that Funing City was Funing County in the Qing Dynasty, so to speak, this Ma Tao County Ling and he are still fellow villagers.
When he hesitated, Ma Tao said again: "If this can be done, the old man is grateful, and he can help the anchor do one thing." ”
Li Yan was quite speechless, we are separated by yin and yang, what can you do for me?
Suddenly, an extremely bold idea jumped out, and Li Yan asked tentatively, "Do you have a way to find out my Yangshou?"
"This ...... The old man can't guarantee it, but you can give it a try, my relationship with the judge is still very good. Ma Tao responded.
"Well, Xiaoshuai promises you, no matter whether you can find Yangshou or not, you will go to Majia Village in half a month. Li Yan said loudly.
After writing down all his wishes in a notebook, Li Yan got off the live broadcast and went to the mall to buy the items he needed.
Xingyuanxuan is a century-old shop, focusing on all kinds of traditional pastries, Li Yan saw Xingyuanxuan branch on the street when he was in junior high school, and he didn't pay much attention to it in recent years.
According to the vague memory, I came to the old town in that area, and asked a few old people, only to know that the Xingyuanxuan branch here was closed five years ago.
Li Yan was a little helpless, under the impact of Western-style pastries, traditional pastries were gradually not popular in the market, and even century-old brands like Xingyuanxuan were struggling to survive.
If you really can't find it, you can only buy two boxes of walnut crisp from other brands instead, presumably that old iron can understand.
After many inquiries, Li Yan came to a narrow alley, walked nearly 100 meters inside, and found a traditional pastry workshop, in which only a few two or three pastry chefs were working.
He couldn't believe that Xingyuan Xuan had fallen so far, this was a century-old brand that has continued from the Qing Dynasty to the present!
Poking his head in, a middle-aged master noticed Li Yan, got up and asked, "What do you want to buy?"
"May I ask if this is Xingyuan Xuan?" asked Li Yan uncertainly.
"Yes, isn't it written on the sign?" The middle-aged master pointed to the wooden sign at the door, which had three big characters written on it: "Xingyuan Xuan".
After receiving an affirmative answer, Li Yan's heart was much heavier, and he still remembered that his favorite pastry when he was a child was produced in Xingyuanxuan, and it had only been more than ten years, and he had already reached such a field.
After coming back to his senses, Li Yan walked into the workshop and said, "Bring me three boxes of walnut crisp." ”
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged master shook his head and said with a gloomy expression: "We haven't made walnut crisp for a long time, do you want to take a look at other pastries?"
"Walnut crisp is not the most famous pastry in Xingyuan Xuan, why is it discontinued?!"
Li Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes, and finally found here, but he actually said that there was no walnut crisp, which made him really unacceptable.
"Nowadays, few young people like to eat walnut crisp, and if the sales are not good, they will naturally stop doing it. ”
The middle-aged master shook his head again and again, perhaps he also knew that the traditional pastry had sunset.
"That's it, I'll double the price, you help me make three boxes of walnut crisp, I'll come and pick it up this time tomorrow, what do you think?"
After hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged master finally failed to resist the temptation of money and agreed to do the business.
Walking out of the small alley, Li Yan went straight to the nearest shopping mall, there was a female fan who wanted a set of modern skirts, no special style was required, just buy one at will.
made more than 100,000 yuan, of course, he couldn't be too stingy, Li Yan wandered around the mall for more than ten minutes and walked into a slightly high-grade women's clothing store.
The skirts in the store all looked very good, Li Yan casually pointed to one and said, "Please help me take this skirt off." ”
"Yes sir. ”
A shopping guide lady came over with a smile, and when she saw her face clearly, Li Yan was slightly stunned.
"She actually works here, she doesn't seem to remember me......"
Pictures flashed in his mind like slides, and Li Yan's thoughts drifted to the distant junior high school era.
If Yin Xiaoya is his first love, then the beauty in front of him is the first girl he has a crush on when he first fell in love, but unfortunately after graduating from junior high school, the two never met again.
"Sir, are you alone and don't bring a female companion?" Bai Suyun asked suspiciously.
Women's clothing stores are either a female customer or a male and female couple, and it is rare to see a single male customer, and if the clothes don't fit when they are bought, they have to be exchanged.
After making sure that the skirt was not damaged, Li Yan nodded and said, "Yes, it's just me, let's wrap the clothes directly." ”
Anyway, it's a ghost burned to the underworld, and it doesn't matter how big or small.
The first time I saw such a bold guest, the customer is God, God will do whatever he says, Bai Suyun didn't ask much, and carefully folded the skirt and put it in the bag.
When paying, Bai Suyun glanced at Li Yan again, and asked uncertainly: "Sir, I feel that you are a little familiar, have we met before?"
"Su Yun, when you see a handsome guy, you say that you are familiar, and this way of talking is too old-fashioned. Miss Cashier quipped.
Li Yan smiled faintly, and was about to reply, when a young man with dyed red hair suddenly walked into the store, and said, "Bai Suyun, when will the money you owe be paid?
Frowning and looking at the young man, Bai Suyun's expression was very ugly and said: "Chen Jian, please don't make trouble here, wait for next month's salary, can't I pay two months' rent together?"
"Regardless of the rent for the time being, the money that your father owes should be paid back first, right?" The young man sneered twice and continued: "It's still the same sentence, if you are willing to marry me, your father will be my father at that time, and all debts will be written off, and the house you live in now will be given to your family as a bride price, okay, you can give me a word of accuracy!"
Looking at the two of them from the sidelines, thinking of some rumors he heard in junior high school, Li Yan secretly speculated.
At the beginning, he heard from other classmates that Bai Suyun's father failed to invest and owed a large amount of debt, and the house and car were sold, which was still not enough to compensate, but now it seems that this rumor is true.
"Chen Jian, if you die of this heart, I will definitely return the money in full, but I will never sell myself!" Bai Suyun said with tears in his eyes.
Almost every three or five days, Chen Jian would force her into debt, and every time she was emaciated, and she didn't know how long she could last.
The younger brother is still young, and my father has been unable to cheer up since the failure of that investment, and the family is all supported by her, and if she also falls, the family will collapse completely.
Chen Jian said with a cold face: "How much is your monthly salary, and after deducting the family's food and drink, there are less than 2,000 yuan left, which is not enough for interest!"
"Even if I don't finish it, my brother will continue to pay it back when he grows up, our generation can't pay it off, and the next generation will pay off all the debts one day!"
Despite the trembling in his voice, Bai Suyun's tone was extremely firm and did not waver in the slightest.
Looking at the girl in front of her curiously, Li Yan wanted to know what she had experienced in the past few years, which made her almost reborn, and the little beauty who loved to cry in junior high school had grown into a strong-willed strong woman.
Chen Jian was not moved by Bai Suyun's backbone, and still did not give up: "Give me less of this, since you want to repay the money, then pay it back now, not a day late, take out one and a half million, I will immediately turn around and leave!"
Hearing this, Li Yan gasped, Bai Suyun and her father owed such a huge debt, even if he had the heart to help, he would not be able to make up so much money in a short time.
