Chapter 313: Chuxin Restaurant
Three days later, a restaurant called "Chuxin" appeared in Xiangyang City. The restaurant is not large, with only four tables. The meals are also very simple, scrambled eggs with green onions, roasted eggplant, cold vegetables, old vinegared peanuts, millet porridge and steamed buns, and that's it. There is only one type of liquor here, called "Forget Worries", which is actually home-brewed sorghum wine. The boss is a young man with that harmless smile on his face forever. There were two guys, a little girl and a little boy, who were sisters and brothers. They are well-behaved and sensible, and call their bosses "uncle".
On the first day of opening, two young men greeted customers at the door, full of joy. The owner sat quietly behind the counter, smiling.
"Don't forget your original intention, you have to always, maybe you can find a trace of inner peace here. A young Confucian stopped at the door of the restaurant.
The siblings didn't understand what Confucius was talking about. However, this young Confucian may be the first customer of the restaurant, how can they let it go?
Zhao Yan blinked her big eyes and asked with a smile, "Uncle, do you want to eat?"
The young Confucian replied casually, "Of course." ”
"Inside, please!"
The young Confucian nodded slightly, and then walked into the restaurant.
Zhao Yan also followed.
The young Confucian sat down at a table on the left side of the room and asked casually, "What do you have to eat?"
"There are four dishes, which are scrambled eggs with green onions, roasted eggplant, cold vegetables and old vinegared peanuts, as well as millet porridge and steamed buns. Zhao Yan was articulate, and her voice was crisp and loud.
The young Confucian was slightly stunned, and muttered, "That's all?"
Zhao Yan frowned slightly and said, "Aren't these enough for my uncle to eat?" The voice fell, she seemed to think of something, and continued: "If uncle still has friends to come, you can eat more steamed buns, which are both affordable and full." ”
This was reasonable, and the young Confucian was speechless for a while. He groaned slightly and said with a wry smile: "Is there any wine?"
Zhao Yanjiao said: "Naturally, there is, called 'forget worries', drink this wine, you can forget all the sorrows in the world." Speaking of this, she put her mouth to the ear of the young Confucian and whispered: "Actually, it is the sorghum wine brewed by herself, which is all nonsense from her uncle." ”
It's really childish, and the young Confucian students can't help but cry and laugh. He said casually: "Then let's have a scrambled egg with green onions, an old vinegar peanut, and a pot of forget-you-no-worry wine." ”
"Okay!"
Only one cup of tea, two dishes, and a pot of wine were served.
The young Confucian scholar ate and drank in small sips, quite leisurely.
Before you know it, the sun has set.
The young Confucian was the first and only guest of the day.
The siblings went from being full of joy to being full of sadness. They were also tired of standing, so they sat down casually on the pier.
Yan Shan came to the door, his eyes swept over the sisters and brothers, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhao Yan muttered: "There was a guest here today, and after my uncle exempted the wine money, he only received twenty copper coins." How will we live our lives from now on?"
Zhao Rin seemed to remember something, and asked tentatively, "Uncle, will you sell us?"
Hearing this, Yan Shan didn't choke to death in one breath, he really couldn't cry or laugh.
At this time, the sister and brother both looked at Yanshan quietly, and there were faint tears flashing in their eyes.
Yan Shan smiled slightly, and said softly: "Yan'er, Rin'er, you are so well-behaved and cute, why is my uncle willing to sell you?" As he spoke, he turned the bottom of his pocket out, and there were three silver tickets of one hundred taels, four ingots of silver, ten taels each, and some broken silver, only three or four taels.
Looking at so much silver, the sister and brother were surprised and delighted. Zhao Yan couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what are you going to do here?"
Yan Shan said with a smile: "From today on, we are a family, and Yan'er will be in charge." ”
Zhao Yan shook her head like a rattle, and said coquettishly: "Uncle, how can this be?"
Yan Shan frowned slightly and said, "Doesn't Yan'er want to be a family with her uncle?"
"No, but ......" Zhao Yan was a little incoherent for a while.
Zhao Rin still opened his mouth wide and hadn't come back to his senses yet.
"Hahaha......" Seeing this situation, Yan Shan couldn't help laughing out loud for a while.
"Uncle is so bad!"
"Uncle bullies children!"
The four small fists kept beating on Yan Shan's waist, not only did it not hurt, but it was quite comfortable.
Yan Shan bent down, hugged the sister and brother in his arms, and said softly: "Yan'er is obedient, and you will be in charge." "One day, he'll leave, and maybe he'll never come back. He hopes that the siblings can live well.
Zhao Yan seemed to understand and nodded heavily. She said with a serious face: "Yan'er will definitely take care of her uncle and younger brother." ”
Zhao Rin clenched his little fists and said in a deep voice: "Rin Er must grow up quickly and protect her sister and uncle." ”
Yan Shan smiled knowingly. Sometimes, happiness is actually simple.
Zhao Yan picked up a silver ingot, and said with a straight face: "Uncle is an adult, how can he not bring money with him?" As he spoke, he stuffed the silver into Yan Shan's hand.
Yan Shan smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
After that, Zhao Yan picked up her clothes, put the silver ticket and silver inside, and walked straight towards the attic.
The last rays of the setting sun disappeared into the sky, and the night was not yet to come.
A family of three sat around the table.
On the table were two dishes, three bowls of millet porridge, four steamed buns, and a pot of wine. The two dishes are scrambled eggs with green onions and roasted eggplant, both of which are the siblings' favorite food.
"Uncle, eat more eggs and drink less wine. ”
"Rin'er, you should also eat more eggs, so that you can grow up quickly. ”
A seven-year-old girl, considerate and careful, really like a master.
In this way, coarse tea and light rice, it is very simple, and it is also very happy.
In the attic, the candlelight flickered.
The siblings were already asleep. During this time, they have had a good time, maybe they have come out of that haze, or maybe they have just forgotten for a while.
Yan Shan gently blew out the candle, and with a flash of his figure, he swept out of the attic. He leaned gently on the roof, holding his breath and looking around.
Behind the restaurant is the back door of the General's Mansion.
Here, Yan Shan can detect any trace of wind and grass in the backyard of the General's Mansion. He had never met Han Shizhong, and he did not know the situation in Xiangyang at this time. He can't act rashly, he needs time.
The moon is in the sky, the stars are dotted, and the night is beautiful.
