"As long as we do business with our hearts, what is the house in the town? Sooner or later, one day, I have to go to Linjiang and the imperial capital to open our stall, isn't it, Xiao Hei? ”

He Mai touched Xiao Hei's head under his feet, and said with a smile: "At that time, I will gnaw bones and eat meat for you every day, okay?" ”

Xiao Hei didn't know if he understood, blinked his eyes, stretched out his tongue and licked around his lips, and gasped again.

After the porridge shop was replaced with a new plaque, the business is much more prosperous than in the past.

This plaque is not only a reward, but also represents a great honor, and a legendary story that outsiders envy and admire.

Even if some guests eat at home in the morning, they have to come to the porridge bun shop, and then ask for a bowl of porridge, squatting under the corner of the wall on the side, looking at the plaque, and asking from time to time a few words about the origin of the plaque.

He Mai made up another story, not mentioning anything related to Li Jiazhuang and Du Mingcheng.

This morning, Li Changan returned to the porridge shop, and He Mai began to look at him with a stiff face, but he laughed after a while.

Li Changan was very embarrassed, his face was red with laughter, and he shouted, "What are you laughing at?" If I hadn't seen you too busy, I wouldn't have come back to help you! You're always hitting me, and you're hitting me very hard! ”

"You stinky boy, you're not very old, but you have a bad temper!" He Mai said and wanted to pluck his ears again, "Next time if you run away and come back, see how I teach you!" ”

"Humph! Tigress! Li Changan covered his ears and hid aside, muttered a few words unconvinced, and went to greet the guests.

When the stall was closed, He Mai and Li Changan put the low table and bench into the shop, and Li Changan took the food He Mai brought and was about to leave, but was called by He Mai.

"Whoa." He Mai put a string of copper coins in Li Changan's hand.

Li Changan's eyes lit up, "My salary?" ”

"Well, your wages," He Mai nodded, "isn't there a market in the town tomorrow?" You won't be there in the morning, your big brother Yang is here to help, you go to the town to buy some food and drink, and go for a day. ”

Li Changan touched his head, "You're not going?" ”

He Mai laughed, "Who cares about the stall where we went?" You can just play your go, come back the morning after tomorrow, and then go back with me and your brother Yang at noon. ”

"The day after tomorrow?" Li Changan was a little strange, "What are you doing?" ”

He Mai knocked Li Changan's head, "The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, August 15!" ”

"Oh, oh!" Li Changan suddenly realized, his eyes flashed, "You want to take me to your house for dinner?" ”

He Mai nodded, raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "What, don't want to go?" ”

"No, no," Li Changan blushed a little and licked his lips, as if he was a little embarrassed, "I know." ”

"Go back," He Mai instructed, "Don't go back to a place like Lijiazhuang, do you know?" ”

"Hmm." Li Changan nodded obediently this time and did not argue any more.

The next day was the 14th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and He Mai brought an extra chicken, a bamboo rat, and a fish from home to Xiao Market.

The Wang family shirked for a while, but in the end they couldn't help it, so they had to accept the things, and the couple looked embarrassed.

"Hemai girl, where is this? We're close to each other, what's there to thank for helping? ”

"Sister-in-law of the Wang family, thanks to your help to take care of my family's shop these days, it is also appropriate to send some things, right? Tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival, a piece of home to be lively? He Mai invited with a smile.

Wang's man smiled: "Ming'er won't go, the things for the festival at home are all purchased, and the child is clamoring to go to his grandmother's, why don't you and Brother Liulang come to my house to enjoy the moon?" ”

The two families laughed together, and He Mai and the couple talked for a while, and then went back to the stall to greet the guests.

After collecting the stall from Xiaoshi, it was still early, so Liulang drove a donkey cart and took Hemai to the market in Qinghe Town to buy it.

Ming'er doesn't know how many people will come to his house, although there is still food or something, but he always has to buy some extra small snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts, and the most important thing is that he will buy more reunion moon cakes, osmanthus wine, as well as watermelons, ducks, and moonshine paper for moon worship! These are all things that symbolize the meaning of reunion, and they are all indispensable!

The pastry shop, which is not very crowded on weekdays, is full of people today, all rushing to buy the freshly baked reunion mooncakes.

These moon cakes have all kinds of fillings, HONG beans, red dates, lotus seeds, and various fruit flavors, the styles are dazzling, and there are guests with a large number of people in the family, and they are wrapped in two pieces, and their hands are full!

He Mai and Liulang waited for a long time and saw that there were not a few pieces left of the moon cakes with HONG beans and red dates, so they simply said: "I want those few pieces, and I will pack two more pieces for other flavors!" ”

Immediately later, a customer muttered, and the store was afraid of trouble, so he hurriedly said: "It will be baked soon!" This little lady has done a good deed, and you are not happy to pick up the tail, aren't you? ”

He Mai and Liulang secretly laughed, and came out of the crowd with two packets of mooncakes.

He Mai smiled: "This shop is a businessman, and he will talk and do things quickly." She smelled the aroma of the mooncake in her hand and swallowed, "It's so fragrant, it's hot to eat now, it must be delicious." ”

Rokuro looked at her with a smile and agreed seriously: "That's right, this mooncake is best eaten while it's hot." How about we go find a restaurant and have lunch here? ”

Hemai readily agreed.

Since opening a stall, she gets up early every day and is tired, she hasn't come to the town with Rokuro for a long time, and today Rokuro made a suggestion, she is naturally very happy.

He Mai didn't want to go to the Pastoral Restaurant, and said to Liulang: "If you go there again, you have to trouble Brother Song." It's a little embarrassing to keep bothering him. ”

Rokuro said, "Then I won't go." Yesterday, when I went to deliver the bamboo rat, Brother Song also said that he wanted to have dinner with the two of us, and if he went for a while, I was afraid that he would owe favors again. ”

He pointed to the west side of Long Street, "There's a new restaurant opened nearby, I heard that the food is good, I'll take you there." ”

He Mai looked over there with his feet on his feet, and said with a smile: "Okay! ”

Entering the restaurant called "Juxiang Pavilion", He Mai smelled the aroma of the house, and whispered to Liulang: "It's so fragrant!" ”

The two sat down and listened to Xiao Er report the name of the dish, and He Mai felt even hungrier.

Seeing that He Mai couldn't make up his mind about what dishes to order for a while, Liulang simply said, "Serve all the best dishes you have here." ”

"Okay!"

Xiao Er went down sharply, but He Mai straightened his eyes, "It's all on it, how many dishes do you need?" ”

Liulang smiled and hooked the tip of her nose, and said dotingly: "You have been working very hard for a while, I see that you have lost weight, so you should eat more good supplements." ”
