But said that Zhou Mingrui said to the blue granny while eating bean brains, "Grandma, why can't I see any business today?"

"Alas, Brother Rui", Granny Lan sighed softly and replied, "It's not just today, this recent business is so sparse, I can't sell a few bowls in a whole day, I'm worried."

"Yes, this world is getting more and more difficult", Zhou Mingrui himself also felt this, in the past two or three years, the business of that private tooth has become more and more difficult to do, more money is in the hands of the slaves of the merchants, through them to blow the wind in front of their masters, but even if the business is done, the silver will not be much, and in the end it can fall into his pocket less than in previous years.

"I heard that the emperor has opened a new tax, and the inspection of Maoyuan Station is becoming more and more fierce, where do those merchants who have no heels dare to go to our side", although he is now in the master's door, but just now he talked and remembered the suffocating days in the past, after speaking, Zhou Mingrui stuffed the fried dough sticks that were clamped up into his mouth, as if it was an unpleasant inspection, but he didn't know what to hate him.

"No wonder", Granny Lan was stunned for a while, then lowered her head and started to make fritters, she kneaded the large dough that had been kneaded, and cut it vertically with the knife into an even small dough, and then smeared a little oil on each small dough and kneaded it on the board, and then closed each two small dough opposite each other, pressed it with chopsticks on both sides, so that the two doughs were glued together, and then pinched the two ends of the dough with both hands and stretched it to the length of chopsticks, so that after making 4 or 5 pieces of skillful succession, Granny Lan picked up the noodlesGranny Lan used the special bamboo chopsticks to turn the fritters in the oil pan from time to time, only to see that the fritters slowly bulged after a while, and the color gradually changed from white to golden yellow, which made people salivate.

"Grandma, your fritters are crunchy and fragrant, it's really boring", Zhou Mingrui opened his mouth and praised, "In this city, that is, grandma, you dare to eat this fritters, and other people's fritters, hehe, just by looking at the black oil, I have no appetite", yes, this Lan Granny's fritters and bean brains are also considered to be famous foods in this area, otherwise Zhou Mingrui would not often come to this backstreet to drink soy milk and eat fritters, so he met this Lan Granny, Lan Granny, their family is a She family, It's just that I've lived in this city for a long time, and this external custom is no different from the surrounding Han people.

"Hehe", Granny Lan couldn't help but be happy when she heard Zhou Mingrui's praise, and finally diluted the sorrow in her heart, "Grandma, I, in order to make this food, I have to get up every day, if it's winter, I have to get up when I sleep."

"Grandma, then it's hard for you to make this food", Zhou Mingrui didn't expect that behind a simple fritter, he would have to get up so early and be greedy for darkness.

"This person lives for a lifetime, isn't it for his own mouth", Granny Lan is used to it, and she doesn't feel any hardship, "Which of these soy milk beans doesn't need to get up early?" It's just that the noodles of this fritter have to be kneaded three times, and it's okay when you're young, but when you're older, it's difficult."

Granny Lan then said, "Fortunately, my family's Ah Lan is also older and can help me, but now this oil is getting more and more expensive, and there are fewer and fewer guests, I don't know if I can continue to do it in the future."

……

Zhou Mingrui and Granny Lan were talking while eating fried dough sticks and soy milk, and after a while, the 10 or so fritters were also ready, and they didn't see other guests coming, so Lan Granny used a big spoon to fill the bucket of soy milk brought to Zhou Mingrui, filled more than a dozen bowls, and sent a few more bowls, the fritters over there were divided into 3 parts and wrapped in kraft paper, and then torn into a thin line of little finger width with palm leaves and tied tightly.

After Zhou Mingrui and Granny Lan finished calculating the silver money, they wanted to pay a few more cents, but they didn't accept it, but Zhou Mingrui had to put away the copper coins, carrying his small wooden barrel and those bundles of fritters and turning home, not wanting to rush to the turn of his neighborhood, only to remember that just now he pulled the tall and long pieces of paper that the old man remembered about the various little girls and the girl ring on the table at Granny Lan's place, so he hurriedly turned around to look for it.

When I arrived at Granny Lan's place, I found that there were still no guests around, only a girl was standing there talking to Granny Lan, the girl was carrying a bamboo basket, not tall, wrapped her head in a blue cloth, wearing a blue shirt and trousers, tied with a brown cloth strip around her waist, the bottom of the pants showed a pair of big feet wearing shoes, and the complexion on her face was a little fair.

When Granny Lan saw that it was Zhou Mingrui who turned around, she stopped talking to Zhou Mingrui and said, "Brother Rui, are you looking for this blank paper"?

After Granny Lan cleaned up the things on the stove just now, she was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, when she saw that there was such a piece of white paper on the table where Zhou Mingrui was sitting, which was a little different from the paper that she usually saw, very thin and thin, with some neat and tidy small squares printed on it, and there were some cross dotted lines in the middle, but there was no writing in this grid, and on the back of the paper it seemed that something was drawn with thin charcoal strips, and there was a row of three or two words in the front, and some different patterns in the back. The charcoal strip painting was accidentally scratched by the hand, and it was not black at all.

"Yes, grandma, I just finished eating here, and I was in a hurry to calculate the money, so I pulled the things I saw here here, it's okay, it's still there, otherwise it's not good to explain to my master", Zhou Mingrui said with some luck.

Granny Lan handed the piece of paper to Zhou Mingrui, "Brother Rui, you are also in a hurry, just now I was asking my family Ah Lan to send it back to you."

"Eminem is so unreasonable, there are more than a dozen households on Nava Street, and I don't know which one he lives in, do you have to knock on the door one by one?" After speaking, the little girl pouted and said, "Besides, I still have to go to Guo Langzhong and give him the herbs I picked yesterday, besides, Ah Bo is in pain all over his body now, then Guo Langzhong also said the day before yesterday that if Ah Bo has an abnormality, it will be the seventh day wind, so I have to go to him earlier, so how can you let me have time to look for him", after speaking, he glared at Zhou Mingrui hatefully, it turned out that it was Granny Lan who saw her coming just now, so she asked her to go to Watun Street to return the paper to Zhou Mingrui, but she was unwilling to go, so she was scolded by her mother.
