Chapter Seventy-Four: The Sorrow of the Little Man

What kind of process will Mrs. Song's birthday be, what kind of wonderful poems will appear at the poetry meeting, these are not what Shen Yan has to consider, when Shen Yan slowly stepped out of the gate of the Song Mansion with his hands on his back, Shen Yan's mood was very comfortable, although there was a little loss in his heart, Qiu Yingxue could not sail with himself in Qinshui.

Where to go? At this time, it is definitely not practical to go back to the barracks, and the place where Jinling City can go by itself seems to be only Wangjiang Tower, which direction is Wangjiang Tower in? I seem to be a little lost. Shen Yan looked up at the starry night sky, the faint starlight could not illuminate the road on the ground, so the slightly dim starlight really couldn't discern the way to Wangjiang Tower, and he knew that it was better to get a lantern from the Song Mansion than the situation in front of him. Thinking of this, Shen Yan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and then walked in one direction with his memory.

"Boss, let's have a bowl of ravioli." When passing by a wonton stall, Shen Yan suddenly heard a gurgling sound in his stomach, and then smiled dumbly, he didn't seem to have eaten since noon, he wanted to have a good meal in the Song Mansion, but it turned out to be the current situation, and then his eyes glanced around, the business of this stall was really hot, and the six tables were filled with four, and the guests at one of the tables didn't seem to be from the Central Plains.

"Okay, you wait a minute." Hearing that another business came to the door, the middle-aged woman who was holding the wonton answered crisply.

"Look at this objective face, it seems that this is the first time you have come to me." After the middle-aged woman made the wontons, the man walked up to Shen Yan with the steaming wontons and smiled honestly.

"It's really the first time, I haven't been in Jinling for a long time, and I rarely go out at night, I don't have the intention of walking here today, and I found that your business here is very prosperous, and I smelled the fragrance of wontons and my belly was really hungry, so I stopped and tasted the taste of wontons." Hearing the honest man's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he couldn't help but think of a wonton stall in his previous life after work, and when he thought of the taste of that wonton, he couldn't help but feel a trace of loneliness in his eyes.

"Then you savor it slowly." The honest man didn't notice the change in the mood in Shen Yan's eyes, and still said honestly.

As the honest man put down the wontons, Shen Yan's eyes gently stared at the bowl of fragrant wontons on the table, and saw that the wontons in the bowl looked like small fish, floating leisurely on the water, and the hot soup was floating with a layer of golden oil and green onions, which was very beautiful.

The nose suddenly smelled a tempting fragrance, the fragrance is strong, delicate, revealing a peasant breath, making people appetite greatly increased, full of relish, Shen Yan couldn't help the temptation of wontons, gently stirred with a spoon, the wontons in the bowl were all active, one by one, swirling, circling in the bowl, colliding with each other, like ducklings playing in the water, very cute.

Scoop one up and look at it carefully, the overlapping skins are semi-transparent, thin, soft, like tulle, and the tender red and tender meat filling can be vaguely seen.

Shen Yan gently scooped up a wonton and swallowed it in his mouth, sucked a mouthful of the full soup in the wonton, held it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully, the soup rolled back and forth on his tongue, the slightly spicy soup stimulated the taste buds, making the tongue a little numb, but the fragrance that permeated the entire mouth prompted you to can't help but take another breath, as if taking you into the field of your hometown that exudes the smell of rice and earth.

Gently bite into the slippery wonton wrapper, and a small lump of minced meat inside is pink and tender, dangling slightly on the spoon. Shen Yan chewed the meat filling gently, and the fragrance of meat was filled between his lips and teeth, the feeling was very subtle and intoxicating.

"Well, yes, authentically, that's what it tastes like." When a bowl of wontons was finished, Shen Yan carefully reminisced about the delicious taste just now, and his heart was full of satisfaction.

"Boss, your wontons are very authentic." Shen Yan was full of praise and praised, "Seeing that your wonton skin is so thin, it must have taken a lot of time, and it is estimated that it will take more than an hour for your skin, and there is also a high-quality pork leg meat." ā€

"Objectively, you are really a god, the two of us have been selling wontons here for some time, but we have never met a person as proficient as you." Hearing Shen Yan's praise, a slight smile appeared on the honest man's weather-covered face.

"My mother-in-law has to roll out the dough every day for an hour and a half, only in this way can the skin like cicada wings be rolled out, at the same time, this trap must choose a good pork leg meat, chop finely and then mix ginger rice, garlic and cooking wine and other condiments and stir well, when cooking wontons, first use hot water to wash white pepper, green onions and lard in a bowl, so that the cooked wontons are fragrant." The honest man said with a smile.

"Boss, you told me so carefully, don't you be afraid that I will go back and get a small stall to steal your business." A hearty smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he said jokingly.

"Look, Gongzi is not an ordinary person, how can he operate such a business." A faint smile appeared on the corner of the honest man's mouth, not at all worried that Shen Yan would rob him of his job.

"Geng Laosan, don't bubble up your mouth, it's time to pay this month's protection fee." Just as Shen Yan wanted to say that it was not necessarily, an arrogant voice came from his ear.

"Master Leopard, didn't you just hand over this month's money two days ago, why are you going to hand it over again today, the two of us are doing a small business, where did we get so much money to hand over." After hearing this voice, a trace of anger appeared on the honest man's face, and then he hid it well, turned his head to look at the four cyan short-hit youths who were walking towards him, looked respectful, and said in a low voice.

"Then you ate two days ago, why are you still eating today?" The young man at the head looked at the honest man with an arrogant face, and a hint of intimidation appeared on his face, "If you want to hand it in, you will hand it in, where did you get so much nonsense." ā€

"Master Leopard, the two of us are really a small business, and our income a day is not enough for one or two pieces of silver, we still have to rely on these ingredients to live, and we hope that Lord Leopard will be accommodating." There was a hint of pleading on the honest man's face.

"I'm accommodating to you, who is accommodating me." The leader of the man waved the iron rod in his hand fiercely, and said with a strong threat, "This street is protected by me, if you don't pay the protection fee, then you can get out of this street for Lao Tzu, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for smashing your stall so that you can no longer set up a stall." ā€

"Master Leopard, isn't it difficult for you to be a strong man, we said that we would give you 5 taels of silver every month, and you will keep us safe, but I only handed over this money to you two days ago, you can't ask for it again." There was a hint of anger in the eyes of the honest man, but the difficulties and pressures of life forced him to bow his head to the evil forces in order to keep him safe, but the other party's attitude of making inches really embarrassed him.

Shen Yan listened quietly to the conversation between the two, and knew like a mirror that these evil forces were constantly squeezing the so-called protected groups in order to have a better life, and the evil forces of benevolence, righteousness and trustworthiness were a little better, and they would not be too embarrassed to be like a small person like a simple man, but like the leopard master in front of him is a person who has gone back on his word, this approach will only exacerbate the sorrow of the little people, and the serious plot will cause some tragedies, which is the sorrow of the little people at the bottom.

Shen Yan wanted to help the honest man, but he knew better in his heart that if he couldn't eradicate the power of the leopard master, he would only harm the honest man and increase the tragedy. Don't help, you can't watch the tragedy happen.

Looking at the aggressive leopard master, Shen Yan's mind fell into a trace of wandering.
