When the woman came out of the inner room again, she was holding two large plates of dumplings in her hand, and the little girl Zhu'er dragged the corner of her mother's clothes and followed out, revealing a small round face from behind her mother, smiling at Wei Qian.

The woman put the dumplings on Wu Erlang's table, took a vinegar jar from the next table, poured a bowl for each person, and watched Wu Sanlang's mouth open wide.

Isn't it eating dumplings?

Why haven't you eaten the dumplings yet, let's drink vinegar first.

"Try it, it's our homemade yellow rice vinegar." The woman graciously placed two vinegar bowls in front of them.

Wu Sanlang's mouth was open, and Wu Erlang's smile froze on his face.

Before he drank this vinegar, his stomach was already turning over.

"Thank you, boss, go get busy, we'll do it ourselves, hehe, come by ourselves."

Wu Erlang smiled, and suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, raised his eyes, and saw Wei Qian and the little girl Zhu'er, I don't know when he turned around, two people, two pairs of eyes, looked at him and Wu Sanlang together.

The woman smiled and said, "Okay, you two use it slowly, use it slowly."

Finally, no one was forced to drink vinegar, Wu Erlang and Wu Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief and ate dumplings as if they were retaliating.

Not to mention, the dumplings in this shop are indeed delicious, one meatball in one bite, and it is very enjoyable to eat.

Wei Qian and Zhu'er have also turned around, one big and one small, you take a bite and I take a bite, and they are also eating dumplings.

When the woman came out of it for the third time, there were three bowls of dumpling soup on the tray, one bowl was Wei Qian's, and the other two bowls were Wu Erlang and Wu Sanlang's.

The dumpling soup is sprinkled with a few green onions, which is green and refreshing.

When Wei Qian was about to get up after eating the dumplings, Wu Sanlang was loudly saying another catty.

Wei Qian touched Zhu'er's little head: "There is still class in the afternoon, I have to go to class, I will come to see you tomorrow."

Zhu'er was reluctant to give up, pulling Wei Qian's sleeve, her small mouth was flattened, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.

Wei Qian took out a few copper coins and put them on the table, touched Zhu'er's head again, and then turned around and went out.

When he passed by Wu Erlang, he nodded at them, although he didn't smile, his expression was happy, and he was like two people when he came.

After Wei Qian left, he waited for a while, the dumplings were brought to the table, the little girl Zhu'er was obviously a little chatter, Wu Erlang beckoned to her, and she ran over happily.

Wu Erlang took out a small pendant carved by hickory from his purse and handed it to Zhu'er: "Take it for you to play with."

Zhu'er's eyes lit up, but a pair of chubby hands were held together and she didn't reach out to pick them up, this is a child with a good tutor.

"This is what the store gave me when I bought something, it's worthless, it's just something for children to play with." Wu Erlang said to the woman who was wiping the table.

The woman smiled and said to Zhu'er, "Thank you for your kindness."

Zhu'er was overjoyed, and learned to be like an adult: "Thank you, guest officer."

It's so cute.

Zhu'er took the pendant, and the small pendant was carved in the shape of a small monkey, tied with red thread, and a small bell hung on it.

The woman turned around and went into the house, and when she came out again, she brought a plate of old vinegar peanuts, the same as the one on Wei Qian's table just now.

"You two tasted it, and we added our own vinegar."

Although the little pendant was worthless, the woman clearly did not want to owe it favors.

Wu Erlang smiled and thanked him, he was already full, but Wu Sanlang was still eating, Wu Erlang was waiting for Wu Sanlang with a good temper, and at the same time he pulled up a homely meal with the woman.

"Boss, you're not a local by the accent, are you?"

"Yes, I'm from Huailai, and we're under the control of the capital."

"It turned out to be from Huailai, no wonder the official words are so good, how long have you been in Qinzhou? Married here?"

The proprietress is obviously not a secret, she didn't think about it and said: "My head of the house, is from Shanxi, in our Huailai to open a tofu factory, and then I followed him to Shanxi, first in Wei County, and then came to Qinzhou, this is the state city, there are many people from the south to the north, and the business is better

My daughter stays here."

Wu Erlang's heart moved, this woman is a widow?

"Since I used to run a tofu shop, why didn't I do my old job." Wu Erlang asked casually.

The proprietress smiled bitterly: "Everyone in Shanxi can make tofu, they will sprout bean sprouts, and the tofu of any house is very delicious, our tofu making skills can make money in Huailai, but we can't make money when we go back to Shanxi, and it is better to make more money by selling dumplings and noodles."

Wu Erlang thought about it, praised the delicious dumplings a few more words, and pointed to the door: "Your name is Tang Ji Dumplings Knife Cut Noodles, your family name is Tang?"

"Yes, my family's surname is Tang, and everyone around here calls me Sister-in-law Tang." Aunt Tang said heartily. ap.

Wu Sanlang finally ate and drank enough, Wu Erlang didn't let him drink the bowl of vinegar, only poured him a little dipping dumplings to eat, the children's family, don't eat hungry, vinegar can turn food, a bowl of vinegar to drink, eat five catties and eight catties at a meal, don't scare people?

Wu Erlang said goodbye to Sister-in-law Tang, and didn't forget to wave at Xiao Zhu'er, what a good-looking little girl, but it's a pity that the surname is Tang, Tang Zhu'er, it's not good-sounding, if she has a daughter in the future, she must choose a better name, what is it called, you have to think about it if you can't sleep at night.

Wu Erlang and Wu Sanlang were not in a hurry to go back to the inn, they walked around the neighborhood and bought some things, and the east and west had a short chat, and then inquired about the mother and daughter.

When the man of the Tang family died, no one knows, but I remember that when Sister-in-law Tang took down this shop a few years ago, it was the man who died, with only a two or three-year-old daughter.

It is not easy for a woman to open a shop with a child, fortunately, the people of Qinzhou are simple, and there are many people coming and going from the south to the north, but there is no bullying happening, and it is next to the official school, and the public security is good, even the bastards who collect protection money do not come to this street, so Tang's sister-in-law's shop has been opened safely to this day.

"Guests there? It's all in the official school, it's close, it's convenient to go out."

Wu Erlang thought to himself, except for Wei Qian at noon today, there were no other guests, and there were cooks and canteens in the official school, and most of the students ate in the official school, and only a few students came out at noon, they didn't enter the shop, they all ate at the small stall on the street, and the stall was cheaper than the shop.

"Mr. Wei? You are talking about the son of the old man's family in Zhizhou, he is a small official, how can he eat in the canteen, every day he goes to the restaurant, and the shops near there often do his business."

It seems that I didn't just go to Sister-in-law Tang's shop.

But for some reason, Wu Erlang just felt that the interaction between Wei Qian and the mother and daughter had an indescribable tacit understanding, they were not like stores and customers, but more like relatives, relatives of flesh and blood.
