The water tofu was pressed, Qiu Gui'er left, because Li Changjie and Zhang Ruoxu were there, the burden that was originally picked up by Li Ailian and Jia's family was taken away by the two of them, and they went to the town.

Sister Qiu and Zhang Yuxiu were steaming pancakes and cooking vegetables at home, and when the two of them carried things to the town, Li Ailian said that she had already sent Qian to Tingfeng Academy, and this work should have already been classed.

"Okay!" Zhang Yuxiu was very happy, "In the afternoon, the eldest brother can come to our place for dinner." ”

When the two arrived at Li Changjiao's shop, the college had not yet finished school, Zhang Yuxiu gave birth to a small stove, put the dishes on the stove and boiled, diffusing bursts of fragrance, wafting out with the wind.

In less than a moment, a middle-aged man limped over from the direction of the academy with a cane, stopped in front of Sister Qiu's stall, and looked at the fragrant boiled water and tofu dishes in the pot, and glanced at it several times.

Sister Qiu glanced at the middle-aged man, wearing a scholar's scarf, his hair was already white, but his face was not very old, wearing green cotton cloth and straight embellishment, although the clothes were clean, but he had already washed white, and the economic conditions were not very good, the chief of the academy was much better than him, and he was still a lame, the dynasty had a clear rule that people with disabilities were not allowed to take the subject name, and they were not aware of the official, Sister Qiu estimated that he was a handyman in the college.

"Uncle, do you want to taste my food, it's delicious!" Sister Qiu smiled and beckoned.

The middle-aged man stopped and looked at Sister Qiu, the little lady's eyebrows were clean and clean, and she was very clever and cute, just ...... The man didn't say a word, glanced at the fragrant dishes, and shook his head a little greedily.

Sister Qiu smiled, took a bowl and handed it to him, saying, "Uncle, please taste our dishes, and ask the students to bring us the bowls back after eating." Looking at the appearance of the middle-aged man, she thought of her father, naturally the father of the previous life, when he was a child, no matter how poor the family was, he was also a clean cyan tunic with a full comb.

The middle-aged man was obviously surprised, but when he saw that Sister Qiu was smiling and insisting on handing him the bowl, he smiled, took the bowl, and thanked him: "Thank you so much, lady." ”

"No, no!" Sister Qiu shook her hand one after another, she is just a little lady, where can she be a side mountain ginseng, isn't this a long life! However, this man's etiquette is quite sufficient, with a strong bookish atmosphere, and it is estimated that he has been in the Listening Wind Academy for a long time, even if he is a handyman, he can't make a mistake in etiquette.

When the middle-aged man left, Zhang Yuxiu quietly touched Sister Qiu's arm and whispered, "Why did you give him food for nothing?" "On the contrary, she doesn't feel heartache about that spoonful of vegetables, it's just that Sister Qiu is not such a kind person in ordinary times!

Sister Qiu glanced at her cousin, and bit her cousin's ear softly, "He must be from the academy, his cousin has entered the academy, and we don't know anyone inside, so it's okay to get on a good relationship with a handyman, how much can I take care of my cousin!" ”

What's more, Lin Zhun is also going to study in the college!

Zhang Yuxiu suddenly realized, half grateful and half envious and said to Sister Qiu: "Also."

It's you who are smart and think a lot! ”

The two of them waited for a while, but instead of the students, they waited for the lame man, who was followed by a woman in a green cloth skirt, and walked towards them with a bowl.

"Lady, it's really a bad idea!" The woman smiled and said, "My old man is a glutton, and he doesn't have a penny on him, so he is cheeky and eats the lady's food for nothing!" The middle-aged man who called her "Lao Suozi" was also not angry, looked at the woman with a chuckle, shook his head innocently and said: "Where is my cheeky food, obviously the little lady invited me to eat." ”

Hearing him defend herself, the woman laughed, "It's all your reason, I can't talk about you." ”

"Don't you love to eat, and you praise other people's dishes for being delicious!" The man said with a soft smile.

The woman smiled and turned her face to hand the empty bowl to Sister Qiu, and asked to give Sister Qiu money, Sister Qiu shook her hand and pursed her lips and smiled, and said crisply: "I just talked about everything, I invited the uncle to eat, how can I collect money!" If my aunt tastes good, I'll take care of my family later! ”

"The little lady is very refreshing!" The woman smiled and said, "You made this dish?" The craftsmanship is good! ”

Sister Qiu pulled Zhang Yuxiu and said with a smile: "I made it with my sister." ”

"A few days ago, I watched a student come back with food to eat, and today I came out with the fragrance, but when I arrived here, I found that I didn't have a penny on me." The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile, "The little lady who lost had a treat, and she was full." Is this water tofu? It's all better than what I've eaten at other locations. ”

"Uncle has eaten at other places?" Sister Qiu asked with interest.

The middle-aged man nodded and said with a smile: "I ate water tofu in the imperial capital in my early years, but there are very few people who can make water tofu, and most people still don't eat water tofu." ”

"It's bragging again!" The woman smiled and patted the man on the shoulder.

The bell rang from the academy, and the students of the academy were out of class, and they poured out one by one.

Very quickly, there was a long queue in front of Sister Qiu's stall, and the middle-aged men and women saw that Sister Qiu and Zhang Yuxiu were busy, so they took their leave.

In her busy time, Sister Qiu raised her eyes to see the back of the middle-aged man limping with a cane, while the woman always followed the man's side slowly, and the two walked all the way and laughed, which was extraordinarily harmonious and warm.

In less than a moment, Zhang Ruoxu trotted all the way over, and wiped his sweat when he arrived at the stall.

Zhang Yuxiu was busy serving the dishes and complained, "Why did you come here with all this effort!" ”

Zhang Ruoxu smiled mellowly, "I just entered the class today, and the master left me to speak for a while. ”

"What did I tell you?" Sister Qiu said with a smile.

"I didn't say anything, so I asked what I had learned before, and encouraged me to study hard." Zhang Ruo's reply was subsequent.

Zhang Yuxiu quickly served the eldest brother a bowl full of dishes, covered two pancakes, handed them to Yu Qian, and said, "You go to your uncle's shop to eat." ”

It happened that it was Zhu Pingshan's turn to cook, and asked Sister Qiu with a smile: "Do you know each other?" ”

Sister Qiu nodded,

"He's my cousin."

The sturdy half-young man who often followed Zhu Pingshan's side rushed out from behind Zhu Pingshan and asked Zhang Yuxiu with a smile, "Then is he your eldest brother?" ”

Zhang Yuxiu nodded.

"Are you in the same class as my cousin?" Sister Qiu asked.

Zhu Pingshan shook his head, "I looked at him at the door of the other class during the morning break, we are not from the same class. "He is in the intermediate class, presumably Zhang Ruoxu should be in the junior class.

"Eh, have you been home to harvest wheat these days?" The strong young man took the food and paid for it, but he didn't want to leave, and he had nothing to say on the side.

Zhang Yuxiu blushed, only lowered her head to serve vegetables, and ignored him.

The strong young man sighed, scratched his head, and went back.

After finishing this moment, Sister Qiu poked her cousin's arm with a smile and said mysteriously: "Eh, I think that big man is interesting to you!" ”

"What nonsense! If you talk nonsense, I'll ask my second aunt to pick you up! Zhang Yuxiu's shy face all turned the color of grass pig liver, and she muttered loudly.

Look at the ...... who healed this lady

Sister Qiu crooked her mouth, "Okay, don't be angry, don't talk about it if you don't say it, come back to him, and I'll let him go." ”

"People come to buy vegetables and eat, why are you driving them away?" Zhang Yuxiu was anxious.

Sister Qiu squinted at Zhang Yuxiu, stretched out her voice and teased: "People are so raw-come to eat...... What a good way to make a living? ”

Zhang Yuxiu was ashamed and angry, pinching Sister Qiu's noodles, "You shameless little girl, I haven't made fun of you and Brother Quasi, but you seized the opportunity to talk about me!" ”

Sister Qiu grinned, took the opportunity to smack Zhang Yuxiu's armpits, Zhang Yuxiu also put down the spoon and sizzled Sister Qiu, just when the two were laughing hard, Zhang Ruoxu came out with a bowl, looked at the two ladies who were in a mess, and shook his head with a smile, "What are you doing?" I was all in the backyard listening to the laughter of the two crazy girls. ”

Zhang Yuxiu wiped the tears from the laughter at the end of her eyes and asked, "Brother, are you full?" ”

Zhang Ruoxu nodded and said: "I'm full, my uncle just asked me to bring a bag of pastries, and I said that I was hungry to eat in the afternoon, but I didn't ask for it." ”

"Yes, we don't." Zhang Yuxiu preached angrily, "If you take it, what will happen to my aunt's uncertain heartache." Let's use her stove to spend more firewood, and send her water, tofu and vegetables every day, and see the long-winded firewood. ”

Sister Qiu slapped Zhang Yuxiu's palm with a smile and persuaded, "Okay, don't talk about it." There is an uncle here, not for others, let's give face to the uncle. After a while, let's rent a shop in the town, so we don't need my uncle's stove. In Sister Qiu's eyes, the Tian family is stingy at best, when their family is in difficulty, the eldest uncle helps their family, and the uncle and aunt are unhappy, but they don't stop it, compared with the Mei family, they are full of good people. In these, Sister Qiu accepted her affection.

"Are you planning to rent a shop?" Zhang Ruoxu asked in surprise.

Zhang Yuxiu was satisfied, and replied first: "Yes, I have already planned this plan." ”

Rent a shop, that indicates what to do

It's a big deal, and it's no longer a small fight.

"There are many goods shops on the street over there, and there are a lot of workers helping to unload the goods and carry the burden all day and night, I see that those Xu people all bring dry food when they come out in the morning, and all the stalls at noon go home, they think the restaurant is expensive, so they only eat cold water and dry food, in fact, they carry a lot of money on the sack, and they are not a dime, they go to our stall in the morning to eat bean curd, all eat two bowls, and eat three bowls with a large amount of food." Sister Qiu said, "If we put these vegetables in the store and sell them, at this price, they will definitely be willing to buy them." Besides, the store is bigger, there is a place to sit, and the bean curds are sold faster, which is also convenient for us to sell water tofu. ”

Zhang Ruoxu looked at Sister Qiu, who was talking eloquently, her heart was full of admiration, and she said with a smile: "It's still Sister Qiu's little sister who has thought it through." ”
