Before dawn, Brother Chun got up from the bed, carefully helped Xiaoman cover the quilt, tiptoed out of the door, stretched a big lazy waist as exercise, hurriedly washed, came to the front yard, washed the huge stone groove with water, poured the cleaned peas into the groove, and used a huge wooden pestle to pestle the peas.

When the sky slowly brightened, the pea skin in the groove had slowly detached, so he poured the peas into the dustpan, dusted off the remaining pea skin, and then poured the clean beans into the water to soak, which is the beans for tomorrow.

Today's beans have begun to churn in the pot, Chun Ge'er poured out some blue-gray alkaline water from a wooden barrel and added it, continued to stand on a wooden pier with a shovel to stir the porridge, while putting the fried red dates with the jujube core, until the beans became sparse, the bean paste mixed with the burnt aroma of the red dates, the beans have not completely turned into bean paste, if all of them are melted, it will be too boring, the beans that are not completely melted will have a slightly hard chewy feeling, the most wonderful is but, sweet bean fragrance, Hence the result.

Remove the firewood from the stove, and when the porridge is a little cooler, Chun Ge'er will remove the door panel of the store and let the eager diners in.

Those diners couldn't wait to eat the frosted gray beans while looking around with the thief's eyes, and they didn't see the proprietress come out, and the delicious gray beans were more or less colorless.

"Brother Chun, where is the boss lady?"

A Northwest high-roller happily slapped a handful of copper on the table and refused to leave after eating.

A small white hand crossed the wrist of the Northwest High Roller wearing a sheepskin jacket, and the copper went into Xiao Man's hand, and he said with a smile: "The eldest brother of the Zhang family is a famous high roller in Lanzhou City, and the camel road in the Northwest is famous." Why do you have time to come to my small shop today to eat worthless gray beans? ”

The high-roller surnamed Zhang intentionally or unintentionally lifted his sheepskin jacket to reveal a bulging money bag, and said with a smile: "What the boss lady said is yes, Lao Tzu took a trip outside the mouth, that time was not a hundred or ten taels of silver, if the boss lady likes it, it will all be for you." ”

The flowers and branches of Xiao Man's laughter trembled. Pointing to the high-roller surnamed Zhang, he smiled and said: "Your wife is a big family with a surname in Hezhou, I can't afford to offend, if you come to visit the small shop once a day, the little woman will be content." ”

Xiao Man's seductive eyes flew around, and when he was talking to the Zhang family hawkers, those two talking eyes had already greeted all the people in the store.

At this time, Brother Chun is silent as usual. Just busy preparing gray beans for more and more diners.

This is the kind of food in his store, if the customer has to eat something else, Brother Chun will go to the store next door to order food and settle the account together.

Lanzhou City is not big, since Yunhou defeated the unhidden Pang back then. Lanzhou City was naturally assigned to the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, because it was located in the north and south, it soon became prosperous, and the small city within a radius of three miles was crowded with camel riders and shops from all over the country.

Whether you want to go to Qingtang to exchange for cattle, sheep and leather goods, or go to Xixia to participate in Heshi, you must stop in Lanzhou City to make final preparations.

Western Xia originally complained about Yun Zheng's forcible division of Lanzhou City under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, but later found that after the Song people got Lanzhou City, their own business routes seemed to be more convenient. The taxes received were also more, so they acquiesced to the fact that Lanzhou City was taken away by the Great Song Dynasty.

A large pot full of gray beans was sold in Xiaoman's coquettish smile in less than half a day, and Brother Chun waited for the last diner to leave before putting on the door. Seeing Xiaoman burying his head in a huge wooden basin to clean those dishes and chopsticks piled up like a mountain, he sighed and said, "The bead you lost last night is enough for us to open a store for seven or eight years, why do you have to make yourself so hard?" ”

After speaking, he squatted opposite Xiaoman to help her wash the dishes.

Xiao Man smiled: "Don't you think that such days are days?" I know you have a lot of money, you have said it countless times, the money left to you by your dead ghost master is enough for us to eat for eight lifetimes, but I just don't like to use that money, I don't even want to use the money brought by the Yun family. I love our hard-earned copper plates. ”

Brother Chun stopped what he was doing, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He said in a low voice, "If you are worried that the Yun family will hunt you down, we might as well make a little preparation." Even in Shu, where the Yun family is the most powerful, I have a way to ensure that you are thorough. ”

Xiaoman shook his head and said: "I'm retired, that's right, that's what the Yun family calls people who don't beg for a living in the system, if people want to kill their mouths, I would have died eighty times, from the moment I left the Yun family, I am a free man, no one owes debts, and my foundation has also been burned by the Yun family, from now on I will be an ordinary woman Xiaoman, a little woman who wants to live her own life." ”

Brother Chun shook his head and said: "I made some preparations in advance, it seems that it was all in vain, after you sent a letter to the Yun family, the Yun family did not send anyone to look for you, their hearts are really big." ”

Xiao Man smiled: "Secrecy is a thing, it is called secrecy if a person is willing to keep it secret from the bottom of his heart, otherwise even if the person's head is cut off, the secret that should be leaked will be revealed, and all those who are willing to leave will be released, this is the most satisfying point for the Yun family, they keep their promises, then I have the responsibility to help them keep the secret." ”

Brother Chun saw that the bowl had been almost washed, so he took out some soaked dried vegetables and meat pieces to stew a pot of meat dishes, took out a small wooden bucket from the pot next to him, which was freshly steamed rice, and specially took two eggs and fried them in oil, and piled them full of Xiaoman's bowl, so he beckoned the tired Xiaoman to eat together, and drank a bowl of gray beans in the morning, and was hungry at this time.

Xiao Man happily held the bowl and ate a few bites of rice, suddenly put down the rice bowl and shed tears, Brother Chun hurriedly put down the rice bowl and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Man wiped his red eyes with his hand, sucked his nose twice, Brother Chun took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the tears and snot on Xiao Man's face, and then waited for Xiao Man to speak.

Xiao Man snorted and laughed, took Brother Chun'er's hand and said: "I am a female demon who has killed countless people, and you are also a male demon who has killed countless people, it stands to reason that people like us should go to the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, who would have thought that we would have such a good life." ”

Brother Chun thought back to what he had done and shook his head with a smile: "I really deserve to be cut by a thousand knives, I was not very afraid of death in the past, and Master has long taught that the more wicked people are afraid of death, the faster they will die, so every time I kill someone, I am actually fighting for my life."

But I don't want to die now, I'm afraid of death, barbarian, from the moment you promised to follow me to the end of the world, I cherish my old life very much, every day with you I feel like earned, you like to live the current life, we will live forever, I will cook beans all day long in this little shop, lick beans, sell beans, watch you tease those guys.

If God has mercy on us two orphans and can give us a child, I would rather be incognito as the owner of a gray bean shop for your sake. ”

Xiao Man's face was red, and Brother Chun was so happy that he was about to kiss him with his flam mouth, when he heard Xiao Man whisper: "Don't you think I'm lazy these days?" ”

Brother Chun'er felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, I will do everything in the store alone from tomorrow, you have a good rest and sleep a little longer, otherwise I will help you buy two maids to serve you." ”

Xiaoman said softly: "The maid doesn't need it, but you have to invite two of you to the house." ”

Brother Chun laughed and said: "With you, no matter how beautiful a woman is, I can't get into my eyes, just buy two maids, if you are worried, we don't want to be pretty, as long as the stout ones can help you work, what do you want the two old ladies to do." ”

Xiaoman stroked his belly with both hands and scolded with a smile: "What a fool, I'm already pregnant, the little maid doesn't understand anything, you and I don't understand, can you do it without looking for two experienced grandmothers?" What if something happens? You were so rude last night......"

Brother Chun, who was holding a big mouthful of rice in his mouth, listened to Xiaoman's words, grew up and looked at Xiaoman blankly, his eyes widened wider and wider, and finally he turned over from the stool with a grunt, so frightened that Xiaoman hurriedly came over, took out the rice in his mouth, and patted his cheeks hard to bring him back to his soul.

Brother Chun'er's throat and eyes "gurgle" and a ball of rice rolled out, and his person also came to his senses, and he used his hands and feet far away from Xiao Man, supported his upper body with his arms and asked, "Really?" Don't lie to me. ”

Xiao Man leaned over, took Brother Chun's hand and pressed it on his lower abdomen and whispered, "Really, you're going to be a daddy." ”

Brother Chun stiffly withdrew his hand, his eyes became wild, and finally his stiff face turned into ecstasy, kneeling on the ground and constantly kowtowing around, his head clattering on the ground paved with blue bricks.

I don't know if I worshiped those immortals, I got up from the ground after kowtowing enough, took off a door panel and rushed out, and came back in an instant, choked on the door frame and said to Xiaoman: "I'm really happy." After saying that, he was gone.

Xiaoman stood up with a smile, returned to her seat and sat down, and soon ate all the rice in the bowl, she already felt full, she looked down at her flat belly, filled half a bowl of rice, and ate it in one bite with the soup of meat and vegetables......

It's just that there is one more madman in Lanzhou City, as long as he sees the woman who is nursing the child, he will stand there stupidly and smirk, and the woman's husband has been beaten twice in less than a meal, and that's it, he also grabbed the husband of the other family and asked, can the woman of his family go to his house to be a wet nurse, or a grandmother? The price is negotiable! (To be continued)
