Xia Zhi knew that Tian Kuo wouldn't come here just to see her and her workshop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Tian Kuo said that she had something to ask her to help with, which sounded polite to her.

"Tian Gongzi has something, please just ask. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

Tian Kuo paused slightly, and there was a rare look of surprise on his face. However, this look was only fleeting, and he immediately returned to his usual smile. This kind of smile is privately called peach blossom on the face by Xia Zhi.

That's right, Tian Kuo not only has a pair of peach blossom eyes, he also has peach blossoms on his face. Especially when he laughs, it's really full of peach blossoms. The two female workers who had just gone out were both daughters-in-law in their early thirties, but when they saw Tian Kuo coming, they both blushed, and they seemed to be unable to control their eyes from looking at Tian Kuo's face.

Now Tian Kuo is still dressed as a scholar, if he dresses up as a noble son...... , that picture is too beautiful to think about the summer solstice. Therefore, for Tian Kuo to be so low-key and polite, Xia Zhi was quite grateful. If one of his eyes doesn't fly around, Xia Solstice will be more grateful to him.

"Sixteen, the zongzi you sell are delicious. I would like to ask you to help me wrap some rice dumplings, and I want you to wrap them yourself. Tian Kuo no longer talked in the wind, although he still had his usual smile on his face, and his tone was still the usual tone, but Xia Solstice just heard a little solemn.

Tian Kuo asked her to wrap some zongzi by herself, not the kind of big zongzi she sells now, but the delicate small zongzi she gave Li Shanchang.

"Don't want salted meat, just sweet dumplings with red bean paste. The quantity should not be too large, as long as it is enough for a small basket. Tian Kuo asked to speak very carefully.

None of these requirements are difficult.

The summer solstice looked at Tian Kuo.

Tian Kuan smiled, letting the summer solstice look at him. But after a while, Rao is old-fashioned and accustomed to being looked down upon by the girls, and he can't support it. Those big and small girls looked at him with admiration in their eyes, but Xia Zhi's gaze was scrutinizing, not annoying, but just as unbearable. Xia Zhi's eyes seemed to be able to see his heart.

"Sixteen, I'm embarrassed to see it, haha. Tian Kuo snorted haha.

Xia Zhi was not angry with him, but she smiled: "Tian Gongzi, you are giving away this zongzi, right?"

Tian Kuo understood that Xia Zhi must have guessed something. He doesn't deny it either. "yes, Sixteen, will you help with this?"

"Help. Xia Zhi said happily, and then she got up and went to get glutinous rice, red bean paste and zongzi leaves, and when she breaded a zongzi to Tian Kuo, "I use cotton thread for all the zongzi I sell, and I will wrap these chic ones for you, and I will use maran grass." ”

Then she also asked Tian Kuo: "Do you know the maran grass? It is the leaves of the kind of maran flower you bought last time in Linshui Town." ”

The leaves of Malan are dried and soaked in water when needed, and they are very strong ropes. The dumplings wrapped in this way not only have a more chic appearance, but also have a more fragrant appearance.

Tian Kuo looked at Xia Zhi's hand, and his heart was full of joy. He felt that the dumplings wrapped in the summer solstice were much more beautiful than those given to Li Shanchang.

"Sixteen, you are really understanding, no wonder Phoenix likes you so much. Tian Kuoyi was happy and also mentioned Li Xia.

Xia Zhi was indifferent, and only asked Tian Kuo casually: "...... Did Li Xia tell you my address?"

"Why do you need to ask Li Xia!" Tian Kuo replied with a smile.

Xia Zhi knew that it was not Li Xia who said it. If it was Li Xia, he would definitely inform himself first.

Tian Kuo asked Xia Zhi again: "Can this zongzi be made tomorrow?"

"Yes. Xia Zhi replied very happily, "I will go to Wenshan Academy tomorrow morning, and I will send it to Tian Gongzi when the time comes." ”

"Good, good. Tian Kuo said again and again, "Sixteen, you bring this zongzi over, and I'll let the little guy get it." "A look of contentment.

Xia Zhi guessed which girl Tian Kuo's zongzi should be intended to give to. She was actually a little curious, which one it would be. If it was Li Xia on the other side, she asked. But she and Tian Kuo are not so familiar after all.

Tian Kuo, this guy, actually has a soft spot for a certain girl.

Xia Zhi nodded and promised to send the zongzi over tomorrow morning. Tian Kuo took out a small piece of silver from his sleeve and gave it to Xia Zhi, saying that it was the money to buy zongzi.

"There are not many zongzi, count them as the ones I gave to Tian Gongzi. "The summer solstice is on the road.

"No, no. If Phoenix knows, she will definitely be angry with me. Tian Kuo smiled.

"Then don't let him know. Xia Zhi also smiled.

Tian Kuo's eyebrows fluttered suddenly, obviously very happy. "Okay, Sixteen, we'll make up our minds and don't let Phoenix know. ”

The summer solstice was originally a polite statement, but when Tian Kuo played it like this, it seemed to have a little more ambiguous meaning. Xia Zhi was suddenly embarrassed, and he didn't think about it, so he raised his hand and took the small piece of silver.

Tian Kuo laughed and thought the summer solstice was very interesting.

Xia Zhi drooped his eyelids and looked at Tian Kuo with a kitchen knife. Tian Kuo felt more and more funny, and couldn't stop laughing. Xia Zhi can't do anything about him. She suddenly thought of something, and she also looked at Tian Kuo with a smile.

"Tian Gongzi, is Miss Bing'er okay?"

Tian Kuo's laughter came to an abrupt end. He looked at the summer solstice with some surprise. For a while, he didn't see anything from Xia Zhi's face.

"Sixteen, what kind of Bing'er girl are you talking about?" Tian Kuo asked Xia Zhi, cautiously.

"Huh," Xia Zhi showed a surprised expression on his face, "Tian Gongzi turns out to be more than one Bing'er cousin?"

Tian Kuo opened his mouth and stammered, he looked at Xia Solstice tangledly, there were some things he wanted to ask, but it was not easy to ask. How much do you know about the summer solstice, and where did you know it?

Xia Zhi waited for a while, and seeing that Tian Kuo was embarrassed, she sneered: "Tian Kuo, don't let you make fun of me anymore!"

Tian Kuo's full of entanglement and embarrassment suddenly turned into a smile. On the one hand, he breathed a sigh of relief, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for the speculation and misunderstanding of the summer solstice just now.

Xia Solstice is different from the women around him. She is cheerful and crisp, and there will be no such dark calculations and small means of those women at all. No wonder Li Xia likes to get along with Xia Zhi so much. But Xia Zhi doesn't seem to be as kind to him as he is to Li Xia. Obviously, he is more popular with girls than Li Xia, why is it not working here in the summer solstice.

Unwilling, unwilling.

Thinking like this, Tian Kuo's smile at Xia Zhi became brighter and brighter. He clenched his fists at Xia Zhi and didn't even dare to say it. "Sixteen, I'm lucky if you don't make fun of me, how dare I make fun of you. ”

"It's good that you know. You know I've got my back, right? My uncle and Daqing, you can't afford to mess with it. Xia Zhi said deliberately.

At this time, it happened that the little black fish came over with Daqing.

Tian Kuo nodded again and again, exaggerating that he was afraid of Little Black Fish and Daqing.

When the little black fish saw Tian Kuo, he brought Daqing over to speak. He also asked Tian Kuo why Li Xia didn't come. In the eyes of Little Black Fish, Li Xia is their friend, and Tian Kuo is Li Xia's relative. The reason why Tian Kuo came here was naturally because of Li Xia. Between intimacy and intimacy, it is already very clear.

Tian Kuo said that Li Xia couldn't come with him because of something, and then took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve. "I also need some zongzi for the festival at home......"

Tian Kuo gave Xia Solstice an order for zongzi, and the other was a silver ticket, which was a deposit for buying zongzi. Tian Kuo's family is also a big family, and although Tian Kuo's order is not as good as Li Xia's family in terms of quantity, it is also very considerable.

He didn't mention Li Xia, but Xia Zhi immediately thought of it, this must be because Li Xia had found him. Of course, Xia Zhi will not push out the order delivered to the door, she and Tian Kuo agreed on some details, and happily accepted the order and deposit.

Tian Kuo felt more and more that Xia Zhi was smart and capable, and it was very comfortable to get along with. He had a whim: "Sixteen, I see that you are tired of making this workshop, but you don't make much money." Why don't you come with me to my house?"

A few hundred taels of silver is only a small amount in Tian Kuo's eyes. Xia Zhi understood him, but what did it mean to go to his house with him?

Tian Kuo saw that Xia Zhi seemed to be smiling, and hurriedly explained: "Sixteen, I'm not abrupt with you. I see that you are smart and capable, and when you come to my house, you will naturally live as a relative. If you're willing, help my mother with some of the things. You are in my house, and of course my family takes care of all the food and clothing. In addition, my mother can also give you monthly money. ”

Xia Zhi really thought about Tian Kuo's suggestion carefully. If she really has some relatives with the Tian family who can only fight with eight poles, if she is really desperate outside, Tian Kuo's suggestion is not a way out.

But for now, she doesn't want to or has to.

"I appreciate Tian Gongzi's kindness. Xia Zhi smiled and said to Tian Kuo.

Tian Kuo saw that Xia Zhi was really not angry, so he put his mind at ease. "Sixteen, if you come to live in my house, my mother will definitely like you. "It's very easy for him to raise such a little girl as Xia Zhi at home. The reason why he said that he wanted Xia Zhi to help with things was because of Xia Zhi's temperament. The summer solstice is not a place to accept alms from others.

Tian Kuo's temperament is different from Li Xia's, but when it comes to being smart, it is not much worse.

Xia Zhi didn't pick up Tian Kuo's words, because he was afraid that he would say anything more. You can't give Tian Kuo a good face, and you can't give him a good face too much. This degree is more difficult to master. Tian Kuo's temperament is also incurable.

Seeing off Tian Kuo, Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish were very happy.

"Sixteen, we can make a lot of money this time. "The little black fish is happy. Tian Kuo's order is not small.

Xia Zhi smiled, under Tian Kuo's graceful appearance, he was also a kind-hearted and good boy who was willing to think about others. It was a bit unexpected, but it was just as pleasant.

Li Xianeng and Tian Kuo have such a good relationship, it should not only be because of their blood connection. The so-called things gather people in groups, and the words left by the ancestors make sense.

……

The next day, the summer solstice got up early in the morning, and at breakfast time, her champion dumpling stall was set up outside Wenshan Academy. Today's stall is different from yesterday's, not only has the banner been renewed, but the stall has also expanded.

Xia Zhi brought two daughters-in-law to sell zongzi, and also added a stove to the stall, so as to ensure that customers can buy hot zongzi whenever they come.

With yesterday's warm-up, there are more and more people who come to buy zongzi today. The gentlemen and students of Wenshan Academy have one more choice for breakfast.

Tian Kuo's little scholar Komatsu soon arrived. Xia Zhi gave Komatsu the wrapped rice dumplings in a delicate wicker basket. That's right, she even bought the basket for Tian Kuo. There are many stalls set up by craftsmen on Xishi Street, and this willow basket was originally a flower basket, which was selected by the summer solstice because of its unique style.

Entrusted by people, loyal to people. Or to put it another way, the customer is God. Xia Zhi guessed Tian Kuo's purpose, so he thought about him very thoughtfully.

Komatsu left happily, and soon after, Li Xia came again.

Xia Zhi took out another basket of zongzi and handed it to Li Xia, telling him: "I wrapped it myself." "It is also a rice dumpling bundled with maran grass leaves, white, sweet and salty rice dumplings, and they are marked with different knots.

On the summer solstice, Tian Kuo wrapped zongzi overnight, and at the same time, he didn't forget Li Xia.

Li Xia took the zongzi with a smile. Because he saw that there were two more daughters-in-law on the stall, he asked Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, will you and your uncle stay here forever?"

"Nope. Xia Zhi shook his head and told Li Xia. She and Xiao Heiyuer came over just to tell the customers that yesterday's champion dumplings and today's champion dumplings are only from one family. Since she had hired someone to sell zongzi, she and Xiao Heiyuer would not stay here for a long time. "There's a lot going on in the workshop. ”

Moreover, she also had to go to Zhang Luo's stalls on West Market Street and East Market Street.

Xia Zhi also told Li Xia about Tian Kuo's order and deposit. Li Xia showed a surprised expression on his face: "He will never miss something good, this is a delicious taste of the champion dumplings." ”

It seems that Tian Kuo's delivery of orders has nothing to do with him.

Xia Zhi smiled and did not expose Li Xia.

However, I heard that Tian Kuo went to find the summer solstice by himself, and he didn't even bring a small house. Li Xia also told Xia Zhi two sentences: "He is sometimes more ...... melons That one...... Bored. Sixteen, you listen to what he says seriously. If he talks nonsense, you ignore him, even if you magnify Qing and bite him. The bite is broken, and I will follow. ”

In short, he instructed Xia Zhi not to be polite to Tian Kuo.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but smile and nodded again and again.

Li Xia was not very relieved. After all, Xia Zhi is too young, although he is smart, he is still ignorant about many things. Therefore, in line with the principle of preferring to kill mistakes and not letting go, he instructed Xia Zhi again: "No matter what he says, as long as you don't understand it, or if you don't understand it, or if you feel useless after listening to it, you will magnify Qing and bite him." ”

When Daqing heard Li Xia say his name, he walked over with his big tongue and circled around Li Xia's legs. Li Xia squatted down and hugged the big green head to speak. Now that Daqing and Li Xia are acquainted, he is very affectionate to Li Xia.

Not far away, Li Shanchang stood at the door of Wenshan Academy with his hands behind his back and looked at the stall of Zhuangyuan Zong. He squinted, his gaze slowly fell from the banner of the champion dumpling to Li Xia, who was hugging Daqing, and then turned around and walked back slowly.

When Li Xia returned to the academy, he was sent by Li Shanchang to call him to his room.

"Phoenix," Li Shanchang wrote leisurely, without looking up at Li Xia, "Do you really have to take the top prize? Otherwise, the trick will not be worthy of the name." ”
