Shen Leng lay on the bed to rest, the tea master sat on the side to embroider the insoles for Shen Leng, Shen Leng looked at the increasingly lean embroiderer of the tea master and couldn't help sighing: "You haven't even embroidered mandarin ducks recently, sad." ”

Tea Master snorted: "Now the entire sea patrol master knows that the mandarin duck I embroidered is three-legged, and I have to innovate." ”

Shen Leng leaned forward: "Then what is embroidered this time?" ”

The tea master said seriously: "The simple pattern of mandarin duck and duck is actually not a little challenging, I decided to embroider a little complicated, I embroidered a tiger on your insole." ”

Shen Leng thought that it was estimated that this insole could come out by this time next year, but he didn't dare to say.

"It's uncomfortable to lie down, or let's go out for a walk?"

"You're still hurt, go?"

"It's not in the way to walk a few steps, you haven't been out for a walk recently, let's go see if there are any fun things to buy, and the braised fire at the entrance of the street is burning."

The tea master couldn't help laughing: "Those two brothers? ”

Speaking of the origin of the braised fire at the entrance of the street is somewhat interesting, about two years ago Shen Leng and the tea master went out to eat, found a knife noodles made of excellent shop, the next table sat two five big and three thick men, eyebrows fierce, two people in the big gulp of knife noodles, while eating while looking out, people on the street come and go, the people of Chang'an City are rich and beautiful clothes can be called personable, one of the two brothers looked at the pedestrians on the street and snorted: "There are too many rich people in Chang'an City!" ”

The other man also snorted: "Why are we poor?" ”

He asked the man just now: "Big brother, it's been ten days since we arrived in Chang'an, and the coiling with us has taken about the same, have you stepped on it well?" ”

The man who seemed to be the elder brother lowered his voice and said: "I have been walking the streets and alleys for the past ten days, and I have already made sure how to get money, and tomorrow morning, we will go to do a big vote!" ”

Shen Leng and Cha Ye glanced at each other, thinking that they could not just turn a blind eye.

Shen Leng went out just in time to see the people of the Liuyun Society, and deliberately explained that they were staring at these two big men.

These two guys set up a stove at the corner of the street early the next morning and sold it for boiling.

After Shen Leng and Cha Ye learned about it, they went to take a look, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "This is what you call a big ticket?" ”

The eldest brother looked proud: "I walked around Chang'an City for ten days, and found that there was no sale of boiled fire, this big ticket is only capable of our brother!" ”

Shen Leng and Tea Master immediately sat down and asked for a bowl each, and the taste was very good.

Just when the two of them were eating, two more big and three thick men came, one of them looked thick eyebrows, big eyes, beard and face, and the other was a little thinner but strong enough, the two of them passed by and were attracted by the aroma of boiling and burning, they should not have wanted to eat, but it was really tempting to smell and look, and they couldn't help but sit down and ask for a bowl of it, and they devoured it.

After eating, the two looked at each other, but neither of them brought any money.

The bearded man stood up and said in a thick voice, "Can I take credit today!" ”

The two brothers who were cooking the braised fire stood there pinching their waists: "Can't! ”

The bearded man then shouted: "I'll stay, you go and call someone." ”

The slightly thin one got up and looked at the two brothers, and said you wait and then ran away, Shen Leng and the tea master didn't leave after eating, so they sat on the side and watched, lest something go wrong.

As a result, it didn't take long for the man who left to bring a dozen men and surround the stall.

"That's them!"

The man who called for someone pointed to the two brothers: "You can't take credit." ”

The dozen or so men immediately rolled up their cuffs and moved forward, and after a while, they made up a bowl of boiled money for each person, sat down and continued to eat, and the man who called for people to come said proudly while eating: "I'll just say it's delicious, and you don't believe me." ”

He said to the two brothers: "It is inconvenient for those of us who are going to work to bring money with us, but we don't mean to eat your overlord meal, and you should remember in the future when we who work have never owed people money for food."

Shen Leng and Tea Master were stunned.

Since then, as long as Shen Leng comes back from the expedition, he will go there with the tea master to have a meal, those two men look fierce, but they can do business affordably, the amount of meat is sufficient, there will be many people waiting to eat every day, especially those craftsmen who are working nearby, a bowl of braised fire is very full and not expensive, and more and more people are eating.

The tea master looked at Shen Leng's injury: "You still don't have to walk over." ”

Shen Leng said: "But you can't walk far to get there, and it would be too hypocritical to take a car over." ”

Tea Master laughed: "I have a way." ”

Shen Leng looked at the back of the tea master going out and shouted: "I don't ride a dog!" ”

The tea master raised his hand and shook it as he walked: "Don't worry, it's boring to ride a dog." ”

Shen Leng watched the tea master go out with a puzzled expression, and after a while, the tea master took something and came back, Shen Leng was stunned after seeing it, and his expression gradually became resolute: "I tell you, if you drag me out, I won't go out with this thing, I am a dignified patrol general, and I would rather die than be dishonored." ”

Not long after, the tea master pushed the small bamboo cart that the two children were sitting in and went out, Shen Leng sat in the small bamboo cart and was pushed away, this small bamboo cart can sit two children, and there is a partition in the middle that can be used as a small dining table, the tea master pushed the small bamboo cart and squeaked forward, Shen Leng looked sad and angry.

The people on the street greeted the two of them when they saw them coming out, and Shen Leng's face was filled with an embarrassed but polite smile.

The tea master pushed Shen Leng down the street, and the two brothers who sold the boiled fire were stunned when they saw it, and the elder brother felt that it was a little rude to stare at it like that, and looked at the younger brother, and the younger brother felt that the elder brother thought it was right, and then the two of them turned their backs to Shen Leng and laughed, and their shoulders shook when they laughed.

Shen Leng: "It's too much." ”

Brother: "I really can't help ......"

The tea master said: "Let's have two bowls of stew, with some sugar garlic, and a plate of side dishes." ”

The two brothers cooked with their hands and feet, and soon brought the braised fire to the fire, and the tea master also squeezed into the small bamboo car and sat face to face with Shen Leng, and the small bamboo car became a dining car for two people, and people came and went on the street, looking at the two people couldn't help laughing.

The two of them were full, and Shen Leng wiped his mouth: "The taste is getting better and better." ”

The tea master took the copper coin to settle the bill, and then found that it was a little difficult to go out again, Shen Leng's side already occupied a large space, and the partition in the middle moved a square to her side, it was not easy for her to sit in, and it was much more difficult to come out than to sit in...... That's embarrassing.

The tea master looked at Shen Leng: "Paddle back!" ”

Shen Leng: "I don't!" I'm a patrol admiral, so I don't want to row back with a small bamboo cart on the street. ”

Tea Master: "Come, let's put our feet out, I'll count one, two, three." ”

Shen Leng: "I don't. ”

Tea Master: "Stretch out your feet." ”

Shen Leng: "......"

The two of them sat in the small bamboo cart and stretched out their feet from the side neutral position, four feet on the ground, and the tea master shouted the slogan: "One, two, three, that roar, hey!" ”

The four feet then kicked the ground to exert force, and the small bamboo cart moved briskly.

Everyone couldn't help but stop and watch, and the car rowed back towards the General's Mansion.

The two brothers who were making the stew kept watching the general and the general's wife leave, and the two of them looked at each other again: "If anyone says that the two of them are not a good match, I will be anxious with whom." ”

The younger brother sighed: "I'm so envious." ”

The brother's eyes lit up: "Let's also go to make a small bamboo car?" We'll row here early tomorrow morning. ”

The next day, the two of them really followed the example of Shen Leng and the tea master rowing a small bamboo cart, and improved it, and the two of them each held a stick in their hands as an oar to poke the ground and exert force, and they had a good time.

Three days later, there were a lot of sand sculptures on the street......

When Shen Leng and Cha Ye went out again, they saw two children in a small bamboo car smiling and smiling in front of them, the two of them glanced at each other, and Shen Leng sighed: "I thought we were stupid and unique. ”

The tea master sighed: "Yes, it turns out that we are stupid and popular. ”

The two of them burst out laughing.

A few years later, the small bamboo car sliding competition was popular in Chang'an City.

There is an ordinary house in the alley of Dong'an, the man of the truth sits in the yard and looks at the birds flying in the sky in a daze, twenty days have passed in a blink of an eye, the weather in March is getting warmer and warmer, and he has been staying at home for a long time, this place is a refuge in the Tianzi family, there is enough food in it, but there is only food without vegetables and meat, he has passed twenty days by relying on white rice and pickles, he feels that he will go crazy if he continues like this.

But he also understands that the Tingwei Mansion has not stopped searching him for a day, his portrait is plastered all over the bulletin boards in the streets and alleys, and the people of Chang'an City have a sense of justice one by one, and anyone who sees him may run to Chang'an Mansion to report it.

This is not the life I want.

The man who held the truth stood up, walked to the water tank to get some water to drink, and saw his own reflection in the water tank, his beard was so embarrassed, the clothes on his body had not been changed for twenty days, and the smell of the Taoist robe was very dirty.

I'm no longer a Taoist.

It's actually a little sad.

He is not a Taoist.

The true Taoist took off his clothes and jumped into the big water tank and took a shower, and when he came out, he shaved his beard again, and went into the house to find spare clothes, ordinary people's clothes, which seemed to be pleasing to the eye when he put on a Taoist robe, but he didn't care about anything.

It's been twenty days, and he's going to go crazy if he goes on like this.

Brought a straw hat, simply changed the flat pole in the yard and hung two bamboo baskets, he walked out like this, and by the way bought a lot of things in the grocery store and filled the bamboo baskets, shouting all the way, even if there were patrolling soldiers and horses on the opposite side, he did not dodge, but took the initiative to show a kind and kind smile.

The soldiers will smile back.

I walked around like this, sold out the goods through the streets and alleys, and made a small profit of one hundred and ten copper coins, according to this calculation, I can have an income of three taels of silver a month, which is not a lot of money.

But of course he didn't want to be a merchant.

He just wanted to get used to a new identity.
