On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Zhu'er and Erya went to wander the streets. I was really bored at home, and I met Hong Nan in Dongshi. Hong Nan saw Zhu'er and Erya giggling from afar, and walked towards them with a happy face.

Zhu'er was shocked when she saw Hong Nan, and turned around to leave, not wanting to be pulled by Hong Nan. Hong Nan almost pleaded and said to Zhu'er: "I'll just say a few words to you, can you listen to it?" ”

After speaking, looking at Erya, Erya was a little afraid of Hong Nan's straight and somewhat vicious eyes. The spineless said next to Zhu'er: "I, I'm not far from you, you speak first, and it's over when you make it clear." ”

Hearing Erya say this, Hong Nan couldn't wait to eat her in one bite. But when she looked at Zhu'er, her eyes were full of gentleness, and Zhu'er was a little scared and shy: "What are you going to say?" Didn't you say it all, my father didn't agree, and he had already promised me someone else. ”

Hong Nan asked a little unconvinced: "I'll just ask you, are you dissatisfied with yourself?" Seeing that Zhu'er didn't speak, he thought that Zhu'er was satisfied with herself. said to himself: "I have never asked my mother to ask for marriage to anyone, it is someone else who comes to talk to my mother." I rejoiced when I saw you sending your brothers and sisters every day, teaching them to sing and reciting poems. You don't like to visit the rouge shop, but you like to help in your shop, which shows that you are a filial person. No matter how I look at it, I think you're different from the people I usually know, and that's why I like you. ”

Seeing Hong Nan tell his heart so frankly, Zhu'er was so ashamed that she wanted to get into the cracks in the ground. turned around and was about to run, but his hand was grabbed by Hong Nan again.

"I know the family you ordered, and I also know the relationship between your two families. I'll just ask you. Did you two get along before you got married? If it's better, why not just say it to the matchmaker? Now everyone laughs at me, why do you want to do what I want! You have made your own private life, why didn't you make it clear to me earlier? ”

was forced to be anxious by Hong Nam. Zhu'er shook Hong Nan's hand and said, "When did I make a private agreement with him for life, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Throwing off Hong Nanzhu'er, he pulled Erya and ran all the way home. Hong Nam frowned and savored her words. said lightly: "Do you also have me in your heart?" Could it be that you were forced by your family to go on a blind date, and you didn't want to get married? ”

Thinking of this, Hong Nan thought about what Zhu'er said just now, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what he was thinking was right. Zhu'er must have liked herself a little in her heart, but because she was in an embarrassing situation, she couldn't make decisions for herself at all.

The second room of the Zhang family thought that he had promised her a good family affair, but in fact, he just wanted to win over the relationship with that Wang Xiaohu. Wang Xiaohu's father is just a military attache the size of a sesame mung bean, and the Zhang family really doesn't take Zhu'er's happiness seriously.

Hong Nam found his mother and told her about his guesses. Mrs. Hong was already annoyed that this family business was not done. Now when I heard my son's statement, I was furious.

But he calmly analyzed: If their family really doesn't care about the life or death of this girl, can they care about the future of their youngest son in the future? When Mrs. Hong thought that Zhu'er was nearly ten years older than their youngest son, she couldn't think about how to support her uncle. In the future, when the youngest son grows up, he will have someone to support him, and after thinking about it, Mrs. Hong feels that Zhu'er's pro-fact is suitable for her son.

But Boss Hong's words discouraged the two of them: "Everyone is engaged, what else do you want to do?" It's too late to say anything. If there is a suitable one, you can find another one, you have to hang this one? ”

Hong Nan was sad and had to rescue Zhu'er from the fire pit; Mrs. Hong was thinking about how to make the family change their minds, and it was only right to withdraw from the marriage.

No matter what the Hong family thinks, Zhu'er here has long forgotten about this unpleasant incident. Since the two families verbally agreed to marry, Mrs. Wang didn't want Xiaohu to run away anymore.

The general meaning of the king is to find a livelihood for his son, and it is most appropriate to have a good job. But Xiaohu, like Erlang, has just tasted the sweetness, and it is the excitement that he is willing to cut?

Besides, there is a saying that men are ambitious in all directions. Xiaohu asked Zhu'er, and Zhu'er's temperament never dared to call the shots, so Xiaohu went. Xiaohu wants to make some money while he is young, and it will be the capital to support his family or open a store in the future.

After the second day of February, it can be regarded as the real end of the year. During this time, Dong Xiaoman lived a very moist life every day, without the trivialities of business and family troubles. The children are obedient, and the elderly are healthy. Her husband was by her side every day, making her proud.

has been alone for most of the year, and now with the breath of a man, Dong Xiaoman feels that he really looks like a woman. But the good times didn't last long, Erlang was about to leave, and Dong Xiaoman was somewhat reluctant to be true.

I was reluctant to say anything, it was because Dong Xiaoman didn't have any glue-like feeling in his heart for a long time. Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and Erlang is used to spoiling himself more than ever during this time.

Whether it's because of psychological guilt, or because he likes Dong Xiaoman, in short, Erlang was caught by Dong Xiaoman this time. Otherwise, without Dong Xiaoman's approval, Erlang would not dare to leave again.

Dong Xiaoman has a spectrum in his heart, with Master Liu and President Wang in this business field, there is no need to worry about someone making trouble now. Without Erlang at home, if there is any shameless thing in the long house, he can tear his face, and he doesn't have to worry about Erlang's face. After all, they are blood relatives, and Erlang always can't let go of sibling affection. The most important thing is that the silver that Erlang brought back in the past six months is very considerable, fifty taels of ingots. Erlang got back a box, a full twenty thousand taels.

Can she not be impressed? Fortunately, Dong Xiaoman knew that Erlang Dao would not hide the silver privately, nor would he leave it for his mother to distract him. Besides, Erlang can learn more, although she is not completely sure that Erlang will not get someone to enter the door in the future. But the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. She has the confidence to clean up Erlang, and if it's a big deal, she will leave, and the child doesn't want to see her.

Dong Xiaoman thought viciously for a long time, and finally enlightened himself to understand. When Erlang left, he swore to Dong Xiaoman and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to come back before the snow." I'm sure I can't stay out for another year, and when I come back, we'll get Zhu'er and Xiaohu engaged." ”

It is precisely because the two families feel that the marriage between Xiaohu and Zhu'er is a sure thing. No one thought of saying that they would change the Geng post or anything first, just because no one took the vulgar etiquette too seriously, and those regretful and unpleasant things happened later.

Erlang and Xiaohu went to the capital for an appointment, and Zhu'er happily prepared a dowry at home, waiting for Xiaohu to come back and marry her. Dong Xiaoman focused all his energy on expanding the business of spending a good moon, and at the same time, because of the problem that the bun girl wanted to expand the bun shop, he was also busy.

Xiao Baozi's parents are a practical person, and when they heard Dong Xiaoman's opinion, they felt very far-sighted. The two of them ate almost a few buns from nearby cities, and finally developed a few delicious fillings. Dong Xiaoman also enthusiastically followed the comments, and even said that the husband and wife had never understood the essence of soup dumplings.

For Dong Xiaoman's order, the husband and wife are very grateful. Dong Xiaoman suggested that the two of them decorate the bun shop and renovate the layout of the store.

After the renovation, the steamed bun shop has six tables for in-store dining. The steamer was changed from the outside of the store to the kitchen inside the store, and a cash register was built in front of it. Dong Xiaoman proposed to cook three pots of porridge, namely millet porridge, black rice porridge, and preserved egg and lean pork porridge. I prepared a few side dishes, which were cheap and not too much.

As for the varieties of steamed buns, in addition to the pork buns and leek egg buns that their family traditionally sells better, Dong Xiaoman also suggested that their family sell xiaolongbao. Xiaolongbao is not sold by number and drawer, and the variety is very elaborate to eat.

Xiaolongbao has five kinds of fillings, including meat and vegetarian; There are three kinds of fillings, all of which are meat buns. Dong Xiaoman also gave a new style of steamed buns, named barbecued pork buns. In fact, Dong Xiaoman really doesn't know how to do the authentic barbecued pork. She just did it according to her feelings, and she thought it tasted good and took such a name.

Who is Dong Xiaoman? Of course, she won't give the recipe for barbecued pork to Bao Ziniang. She thought about keeping it for the barbecued pork, which is now the signature dish of her family's Jishitang.

In fact, barbecued pork is made of tenderloin smeared with homemade sweet noodle sauce and marinated overnight, and then taken out and put on the barbed wire to drip the sauce the next day. Wait until the sauce is almost done, then spread honey, wrap the leaves and roast. When you are simmering for an hour, take it out and brush it with a layer of diluted sauce until it dries, then spread a layer of honey and bake for another hour. After that, it is brushed with a layer of honey and roasted for half an hour, and then brushed with a layer of honey and baked for half an hour. After a total of three hours, it was done.

The secret of this homemade barbecued pork is that Dong Xiaoman gets the taste of the sauce, and more importantly, Dong Xiaoman is willing to use honey. Therefore, the grilled meat is red, bright, tender and fragrant.

Bao Ziniang originally wanted to buy some barbecued pork from Dong Xiaoman, but she didn't expect that the barbecued pork buns were very expensive. But because he really couldn't make much money, he had to turn to Dong Xiaoman again

Dong Xiaoman saw that the time was ripe, so he proposed a partnership between the two. She came to provide the meat, and Bao Ziniang took care of the rest. The profit of the barbecued pork bun for two people is divided between fifty and fifty.

Bao Zi Niang was very happy, but Bao Zi Dad said that this was not appropriate. Dong Xiaoman has really helped a lot for their family's business, and without Dong Xiaoman, there would be no today. After the last two discussed, the barbecued pork buns in the steamed bun shop were divided into four or six.

The name of the steamed bun shop should be good, and Dong Xiaoman named it Jinji Steamed Bun Shop. Its characteristics are three kinds of soup dumplings, barbecued pork dumplings and xiao long bao, which later became a famous snack in Rongcheng. (To be continued.)
