"Xiaoxiao, you've been spending money hard enough these days?" Yu Fang muttered, stood on the ladder, took out an envelope from the mezzanine of the bed, and threw it down, "These are the first, the third, right?" Why spend so much money? ”

"I can't help it, many people have to rush to worship before the year, don't worry, this is the last time."

"Say it the last time, sooner or later, I'll let you run out of my little interest." Yu Fang re-laid the futon on the bed and staggered down the ladder, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, I heard Aunt Liang say, tell me, is there anything like her father?" Let's give them gifts with kindness, don't want it, why don't you scold people? ”

"It's okay, aunt, I've thought of this kind of thing beforehand. In fact, it's not to blame people, it's you who want to be replaced, and if your daughter has to find a self-employed person, you may beat someone with a rolling pin. ”

Yu Fang laughed, "That's right, if Xiaoting is disobedient, if you have to find someone like this, I will beat her!" ”

Lu Li also smiled, "Auntie, I'll go out." Oh, and lamb skewers, why don't you find a few more people, I use them a lot now, and they sell very fast. ”

"Okay, anyway, just hurry up and wear it, you don't care, I promise you won't use it."

Lu Li didn't say more, picked up the envelope and turned out, Cao Xun and Zhang Qing were stepping into the small courtyard, "Hey, still go out?" ”

"You move, I'll have to leave a few more houses, and that's the end of today—I'll be back in the afternoon, and we'll have something to say." Oh, Xu Yunjian, come with me to the South Railway Station in the afternoon. ”

"What else? Isn't the lamb coming? ”

"There are still some clothes, I ordered them in Yangcheng, and I arrived yesterday."

"Okay." Xu Yunjian agreed, and his companions lifted the large iron basin on the ground, which was full of bamboo skewers with good meat. "Good fellow, it's so heavy, how much is this?"

"More than 3,400."

"So much?"

"Is that what it is?" Cao Xun scoffed at his fuss, "Do you know how much we sold in one day last Sunday?" ”

"Three thousand roots!"

"That's not much, huh?"

"That's not all after that. Oops, you didn't see it. Seeing people queuing up there with money in their hands, we have nothing in our hands, we just can't sell it, how anxious we are! Hey, Xiaoxiao, I now know what the most painful thing is, that is, I can't get the money! ”

Xu Yunjian laughed loudly! "Really, I'm not looking for fun, Tiny. I now know what you meant by that. ”

"Oh?"

"It's what you told me last time in Yangcheng, this world is full of money, it depends on whether you can pick it up!"

Luli pushed the bicycle, "Okay, don't hurt the spring and autumn, hurry up." ”

Several people pushed bicycles and tricycles away, and Luli also got on his bicycle and went in the opposite direction.

Rode a tricycle to the old place on Binjiang Road. The three of them put the stand in place and ignited the charcoal. Within a few minutes, customers were already coming to the stall – the mutton skewers had become a peculiar sight in the most prosperous area of Tianjin, and on weekends, customers from all over the city came to buy here. Although this greatly increased the income, it also greatly increased the demand for mutton.

Cao Xun is already familiar with the operating procedures. The 180-centimeter-long shelves are covered with meat skewers, and the red, white and white lamb looks cute, and the charcoal fire below is slowly steaming, quickly roasting the side close to the heat source, and then turning it over one by one. Sprinkle salt noodles and say, "How much?" ”

"Get me two bucks."

"Right away." The mutton is extremely tender, it is really cooked when it is dipped in fire, Cao Xun put ten skewers of meat together and sprinkled cumin, "Do you want spicy?" ”

"Yes, more comes, the more the merrier."

Cao Xun nodded with a smile, sprinkled a handful of chili noodles on it, and asked again, "Hey, buddy, do you want some wine?" ”

The other party was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded, "Is there one?" How to sell? ”

"A cup, two taels of wine, sell for two cents."

The man didn't have time to answer, and a person next to him who was waiting anxiously and couldn't wait interjected, "Is there wine?" Bring me two cups, and ...... Five-dollar skewers. ”

The first man was a little unhappy, "Hey, you, why are you like this?" I haven't finished buying it yet. ”

"Then you buy it, I'm in the way of you?"

"Aren't you Gase, then?"

"How do you call it Gase? Aren't you thinking? And we'll have to wait until you're done thinking about it before we buy it, right? ”

Seeing the intentional movements of the two people, Zhang Qing hurriedly dissuaded, "Yes, all, don't worry, the New Year is all for one bite to eat, you have seen me, okay?" ”

The two of them glanced at each other and said no more, "Hey, where's the wine?" Come on. Wait a while for the meat to get cold. ”

"Just come, just come." Xu Yunjian picked up the white wine barrel, took three glasses and filled them, and handed them to each other, the second man and his companion took the wine glasses and spun around on the spot, "Oh, you don't even have a place to sit?" ”

"This, I won't tell you, one of our buddies has already started to figure out a way, do you have to bear with me? Wait a few days and you'll be guaranteed a place to sit. ”

"That's what you said?"

"I said, I promise, no problem."

"So what am I going to do today? How inconvenient is it to just take it to eat and drink? ”

Cao Xun pondered for a moment, "You are like this, you can put the meat skewers on the stove, and you can add heat at any time, and it tastes smooth, how about it?" ”

The man smiled, "Don't say it, you still have more ways to do it." ”

Although this method is good, it also has great drawbacks: if one person eats like this, others will follow suit, and they will also occupy the position in front of the shelf, eating and drinking while roasting the fire, so that Cao Xun has no place to even grill new meat skewers! It's all guests, and they can't just drive people away, so they have to wait, "Hey, I said, when will this have to wait?" ”

Cao Xun was also a little dumbfounded, "How did I know that these people were standing in front of me?" Isn't this a delay in buying and selling? ”

"If you're fine, come up with a bad idea!" Zhang Qing scolded and said.

Helplessly, several people had to intervene and wait, until the first batch of more than a dozen people finished eating, and gave way to the second round of operations. "Cao Xun?"

Cao Xun looked up and hurriedly said, "Hey, hide the meat skewers, those two grandsons who eat white food are here again!" ”

Luo Yaohua and Lin Yanxiu scolded at the same time, came over with a laugh, and stood next to him. No matter how much, he snatched a handful of meat skewers from his hand, sprinkled cumin and chili peppers with his own hands, and ate them like this, "I said, this is all counted, Xiaoxiao came back to ask." ”

"Ask? Come back and let him talk to our brothers. "Lin anti-repair also ignores it, and he is arrogant." After eating here last time, it was really delicious to go home! Just thinking about this. Hey, what's the matter? ”

"He's on business, come back in the afternoon. Something today? It's okay to wait for him for a while, especially the anti-cultivation, Xiaoxiao still has serious things to look for you. ”

"What...... Hmm, serious? ”

"Wait for him to come and ask him. Hey, welcome. How many do you come? ”

******************************************************

Lu Li rode to Yang Shiguang's house, and the teacher had just gotten up. I didn't have a stove yet, so I helped her light the fire, sat on the bench and took a piece of steamed bread and roasted it, "Teacher, I thought about it, if you don't go back to Beijing (Beijing) for the New Year." Just go to my house. Let's be lively together, can you? ”

"you?" Yang Shiguang was a little embarrassed, she was very favored by Lu Liji's uncle's family back then, and she has always felt it in her heart; But intellectually. She really didn't want to deal with Yu Fang, she always felt that this woman was too vulgar and that talking to her was out of character; If it weren't for Lu Li, I wouldn't have seen him for the rest of my life and wouldn't miss it.

"How about it, teacher, you are also celebrating the New Year by yourself, and you are also celebrating the New Year with our family, so let's go? Wrap some dumplings, talk, how lively? If you don't want to stay longer, let go of the cannon, and you'll come back? ”

Yang Shiguang smiled and took a sip, "Let go of the cannon, isn't that the first year of junior high school?" Why are you still worried about the teacher's New Year's money? ”

Luli chuckled, "So, that's it?" ”

"Two more weeks, I'll think about it again?"

"Okay. It's all up to you. ”

"Hey, what's going on with you and Liang Wei?"

"No, I went to her house yesterday......" Luley recounted.

"In this way, you can't blame others, I told you a long time ago that doing this is designated to be looked down upon. Fortunately, you're mentally prepared for that, aren't you? ”

"Yes."

"And what are you going to do in the future?"

"I can only beg for it, I don't believe it, why am I bad? When he heard that Xiaowei was having sex with me, he was so opposed to it as if I had thrown their children into the well? You said, I don't steal or rob, this is still in response to the government's call to solve the country's difficulties by myself. Why can't we be tolerated so much? ”

"This, you can't blame people, Shinong businessmen, businessmen are the last of the four people, this is not the current words, but the ancestors handed down, for people who do business for a living, many people do look at them with colored glasses. It's not something that can be reversed with money. ”

"I thought about it too, but ...... People say, no business is not a traitor, and I am not a traitor? I do business respectfully, honestly......"

"I know your merits, and I don't need you to tell me. But now, I have to ask you, if Liang Wei really wants to be with you desperately in the future, what are you going to do? ”

"I can't say yes."

"Same as I thought." Yang Shiguang nodded appreciatively, "People say that a marriage that cannot be approved and blessed by both parents is unfortunate, and from this point of view, your choice is not wrong." ”

Lu Li sighed, "Let's talk about it, teacher, then the New Year's matter will be decided, right?" I'll go back first, there's still something going on on Binjiang Road. Oh, and finally, the money I borrowed from you, it's almost the end of the year, it's not good to put the debt over the New Year, here is the 6,377 yuan borrowed from you, you point to it. ”

Yang Shiguang was not polite this time, took the envelope, counted it in front of him, and then stuffed it back into his hand, "Return the money to you." ”

"Huh?"

"It's useless for me to keep the money, this money is just a teacher's investment in you, and when there is a lot of need in the future, I will ask you again."

"How can there be such a rule? You haven't covered the money yet, why did you get it back? ”

"Do you hold it? If you don't obey, the teacher can beat you. (To be continued......)
