Chapter 223: Dependent on each other

nested on a cold street, there is a street stall of Liangjia Liangfen. Originally, there were benches, tables and chairs in this jelly restaurant, but there were not many people who came into the store to eat and drink, and those who sat there had to order a dish and drink some wine, although there was no food to be made here. And then there are these coolies are all straightforward, since they drank the noodle soup with condiments for nothing, they are embarrassed to occupy other people's tables and chairs, and let people lose their big customers in vain. As a result, there is a different scenery here. The room was always deserted, but outside the house was always full of people, squatting with coolies carrying a bowl of the sea, which made the scribes who were already bitter but still wanted to drink sneer. What a poor literati are also Svens, and they disdain to fight such coolies.

Even if there is a rich and noble family who suddenly has a little interest in tasting the taste of the northwest, it is just to send people out, take a few copper coins, and come here with a big bowl to buy a bowl and bring it home.

Today, the noodle shop has just opened to light a fire, and two men are crowded in at the door, and the boss habitually smiles and greets enthusiastically in the back kitchen with his unique Shaanxi accent: "Come brother, pot helmet or noodles?" He didn't come out, so he habitually asked again: "Bookkeeping or cash?" ”

You don't have to look outside, the people who come to your store are brothers who have been like this for many years, just ask.

Those who come here are all bitter haha, bookkeeping is already the habit of this small shop, and the brothers who can't open the pot come here to eat and drink first, and earn wages on the coolie, so they will naturally come back and pay it back. In the past many years, the noodle restaurant has not had a dead account, the integrity is poor, and the fraud is a rich person, so I can't deceive it.

Then he said: "Come and pack five catties of pot helmets, bring two catties to eat, and then two bowls of noodles." Stopped, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally made up his mind to raise his voice again: "Another pound of wine, a fried fish, cash." ”

The shopkeeper heard that he was selling wine and fried fish, this is the big customer of the store, so he can no longer greet the brothers like usual, so he quickly wiped the face on his hand with an apron and ran out to greet the guests.

However, when he ran out, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his feelings were still familiar: "Brother Yang, I haven't taken care of the small shop for many days, how can I be idle today?" How can you still have money to eat fish and drink alcohol? ”

Yang Fan arched his hand to the shopkeeper and said: "Yesterday, the guard office opened a salary, so I rushed to your store early in the morning, bought some pot helmets, and brought them back to satisfy the hunger of the elderly and children, which bothered me." ”

"What? Is the health center paid? This is an unprecedented good thing, congratulations. The shopkeeper immediately sincerely rejoiced for Yang Fan.

Yang Fan smiled bitterly: "Open grace? It's not like you don't know, the pirates are coming, and it's not that we people are going to defend the city with all our lives, after this battle, either the battle will be killed and pulled down, or the war will be over, everyone will still have a name, and nothing will be gained, and everyone is still a coolie who has no last meal. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly beckoned the two of them to sit down, wiped the oil and gas table with a rag, and asked anxiously: "The pirates are coming because I know how much they are coming, I don't know how much, when they will come, big brother, you are a general, you give me a message to my brother, so that I can be prepared." ”

"Fart general, if you want to talk about generals, I'm not as big as my horse brother, he is a deputy Qianhu, so he is really a general."

After saying this, not only was he happy, but the boss was also happy. Although Ma Er has the name of a deputy thousand households, in fact, his head is tendoned, not very flexible, everyone has long forgotten that he is still an official of a deputy thousand households, and the yamen does not take him to a meeting, and wants to get the exact news in his mouth, that is, to ask Yu Blind, it is better to ask this steady and prestigious Yang Fan.

The two of them just said that, but the shopkeeper didn't ask what to order to expand the business. In fact, there are no dishes in the shop, especially in the face of these bitter haha, proposing to order food is to embarrass the other party, which is the intimate place of the shopkeeper.

The reason why Yang Fan changed the topic is because the shopkeeper asked about military secrets, there are too many pirates this time, once it leaks out, this Haining will explode in a blink of an eye, according to the order of the boss, Haining must guard for at least ten days, once the people are all gone, with more than 300 so-called soldiers, dozens of servants, not to mention ten days, ten quarters of an hour can not hold on, the county is ready to requisition the people to repair the city today, and requisition Ding to defend the city.

Speaking of horses, the two men looked at him,

As a result, the horse stuck out his head and looked at the back kitchen, with a look of anticipation on his face, and his heart could not bear it. said okay, take him to eat a good meal, but the result is just a pot helmet salted fish, so that this person who hasn't seen meat for a year can satisfy his hunger? Thinking about it, he quietly touched his hand to his arms, pressed the one hundred and ten big coins he had just obtained from selling the stolen goods, gritted his teeth and said, "If you are tired of the shopkeeper, add another piece of pig offal." ”

Ma Er immediately became frowning and smiling, or my brother was distressed, he hadn't tasted meat for a year.

Inadvertently, there was another selling head, and the shopkeeper's happiness said loudly to the daughter-in-law behind: "Okay, five catties of pot helmets are packed, two catties are eaten, two bowls of noodles, one catty of old wine, one fried fish, and one pig offal." Then, he smiled at Brother Yang Fan and said, "Okay, you sit first." ”

At this time, Ma Er suddenly grabbed the boss who turned around to leave, and the boss smiled and said, "Brother Ma'er, your brother has asked you for an extra piece of pork offal, so you can leave it, hehe." In fact, he had already seen Yang Fan's hesitation when he asked for haggis.

Also, he has to support his family, and he works hard to get up early and work late, so that the family will barely starve to death, where can he dare to be so extravagant? It's just that I saw how ruthless my brother was, so I made up my mind. It's really commendable to take care of this brother in this situation, you can't be too greedy, you have to be kind, right? He Yang Fan is not easy to say, only he can say it.

As soon as the horse was told by the shopkeeper, his face turned red at that time, and he said in a sneer: "The shopkeeper misunderstood, I just want to buy a rabbit leg over there and take it back." ”

This said, the shopkeeper suddenly, laughing at himself, the rabbit meat over there is much cheaper than any meat, and the supply is sufficient, after the wind wax, the taste is delicious, three big money, you can buy a thigh, or a rabbit brain, five big money, you can buy a skeleton.

Thinking about the purpose of the horse's request, he smiled bitterly, shook his head and went to the back.

After a while, the wine and food came up, not only with a rabbit leg, but also with a rabbit skeleton, and by the way, he also brought a piece of hemp paper.

Ma Er hurriedly stood up and said embarrassedly: "Shopkeeper, I, I just want a rabbit leg, nothing else." Sanwen is already extravagant, but I don't dare to spend more Wuwen. ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said: It's not for you, what kind of heart do you have?

Ma Er understood, there were some tears in his eyes, and he hurriedly bowed and thanked him, but the boss didn't say anything, so he said to the two of them, and went back to the back to greet the others.

Ma Er hurriedly smiled apologetically at his brother, and carefully wrapped the rabbit legs and rabbit skeleton with hemp paper with his hands and feet, looked at the pound of pot helmet in front of him, and resolutely broke it half, wrapped it together, and carefully placed it in the corner of the table.

Yang Fan smiled bitterly, he was in his twenties, and when he was growing up, he couldn't eat half a catty of pot helmet no matter what, so he exchanged his catty with the horse, and divided most of the miscellaneous pieces.

The horse was about to be robbed, Yang Fan gave a strange look, and the horse stopped fighting, picked it up, lowered his head and nibbled it.

Yang Fan watched him eat slowly, picked up the wine himself, and squinted at the horses.
