Chang’an Small Restaurant

    For the Dragon Boat Festival economy, a few days in advance, Shen Shaoguang brought Yu San, A Yuan and A Chang to work. In view of the fact that the previous two Qujiang stalls had sold out the goods early, Shen Shaoguang was very well prepared this time, because it was difficult to hire a car during the festival, and even went to the West Market to buy a mule and a car, plus hired a car. Two cars are enough.

    This mule was instructed by Shen Shaoguang, and Yu San went to pick it. Shen Shaoguang himself is really not good at picking animals.

    "Buy a mule, be tall, strong and young." Shen Shaoguang instructed.

    "Why don't you buy a donkey?"

      The donkey, shaking its head and shaking its head, can't walk fast, and has a bad temper. It seems that it is born with a bit of "arrogance", "the donkey is slumbering with sad poetry", "the mountain guest is crazy to cross the white donkey, but the Yingyang book is left in his sleeve" "Drizzle rides a donkey through the sword gate" ①, all are poetic.

    "Then why don't you buy a horse?" Ah Chang, who used to follow Ah Yuan, answered.

    "Too expensive." Horses run fast, are expensive, eat finely, and are not so resistant to tossing, which is standard for dignitaries. Shen Shaoguang's income is quite high now, so he can't afford to raise a horse, but he feels it is unnecessary.

    A Yuan and Shen Shaoguang thought of one place, "It was ridden by nobles, and Lin Shaoyin's horse looks good."

    Shen Shaoguang's thoughts drifted, if Lin Shaoyin, wearing a bunt, driving a mule cart, smiled at people honestly and honestly Ask "Where are the guests going?"

    Thinking of that noble face making such a down-to-earth expression, Shen Shaoguang laughed.

    Yu San frowned at her.

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and said, "Just buy a mule."

    Yu San has never picked a mule, but he is no stranger to horses. He went to the West Market for half a day and brought back a healthy mule and a used car. The mule was tall and big, and it meant that it was fat and strong, and it looked quite handsome. It was only four years old, and it could be used for many years if there were no accidents.

    Shen Shaoguang was very satisfied and praised Princess Yu San fiercely, but Yu San went to the kitchen to wash her hands and cook.

    Achang was able to get off the car twice, with this mule cart, Shen Shaoguang went to the West Market more often, and bought a lot of rice, noodles, beans, nuts, sugar, etc., things from the West Market Cheaper and better quality.

    Not only that, but also a basket of silk threads. doing what? Play longevity.

    This stuff is still popular in the 21st century when Shen Shaoguang lived, and together with mugwort, zongzi and dragon boat, it is called the four standard items of the Dragon Boat Festival. At this time, the longevity string is made of blue, red, white, black and yellow five-color silk threads. It is tied to the arm and wrist, or hung on the tent or at the door. It is said that it can ward off evil spirits and pray for good fortune, prevent being injured by evil spirits, and avoid "warriors". Shao". Because of these mysterious and mysterious meanings, they are called longevity threads, and there are also called life extension threads, longevity threads, and Zhu Suo.

    The palace is very particular about this kind of thing, there are many fancy weaving methods, and gold beads and jade pendants are often strung on it, which is very delicate.

    Shen Shaoguang has been in the court for many years. Although the needle and thread are not very good, it can be done. It is simple after all.

    Seeing that Shen Shaoguang bought so many silk threads, and made seven or eight kinds of longevity strands, they were all neat and beautiful, and A Yuan's eyes were straight: "Little lady is really amazing!"

    Hey, Shen Shaoguang smiled proudly in front of Ah Yuan, who was blind in needle and thread.

    "I've never seen so many tricks."

    Shen Shaoguang "There are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys dominate", and smiled more and more proudly.

    "It's just that we use so much?"

      "The most expensive price for the big gift box of flower cakes is always the same.

    A Yuan picked up the longevity thread prepared for VIP customers, carefully touched the knot on it, looked over and over, and finally nodded, "It's worth it! If I have money, it's for this. Longevity, also buy a box - and our cakes are so delicious."

    A Chang took a look and nodded.

    The stall set up by Shen Ji this Dragon Boat Festival is simply a luxurious lineup:

    There are nearly 20 kinds of light cakes. In addition to the traditional Aiwowo, pea yellow, red bean cakes, snowflake cakes, etc., Shen Shaoguang also introduced fresh fruit cakes decorated with cherries and mulberries; There are seven or eight kinds of sweet and salty fillings; now that I have the capital, I am willing to invest, and the drinks are easy to use in addition to the former jasmine tea and sour plum drink, but also add cherry butter syrup and wisteria honey drink, all of which are iced.

    Guang Bing, Shen Shaoguang bought two big boxes, wrapped layer by layer with cotton mattresses.

    The sign of "Tanhualanghua Cake" should also be brought as a reminder to tourists.

    However, tourists don't need this sign to remind them at all. After all, it is close to the last festival. After all, Tanhua Lang bought two boxes of flower cakes when he came out of Tanhua. When I went to the flower cake stand, I remembered it.

    "Isn't this a stall where Tanhualang buys flower cakes on the Shangsi Festival?"

    "After the Shangsi Festival, the children in the family are thinking about coming to Qujiang to eat cakes..."

    There was even a special visitor, and a guest boasted to his friend: "Hey! I'm with you? There is an excellent flower cake seller by the Qujiang River. I don't usually have it. It’s only there during the festival. It’s exquisite, and the taste is right. The cake workshops in the East and West markets are not as good as this. During the festival this year, Tanhualang stopped to buy their cakes.”

    The last time I ate flower cakes, I specially visited Chongxianfang to eat "agate meat" and "Jade Yuanzi" and have since become regulars. After listening to other people's words, it seems that it is also with Yourong Yan : "You don't know, Shen Ji's spring dishes are really delicious. Agate meat, sweet and sour fish, and lotus pond Sanxian are also very good. The big restaurants in the East and West markets can't match it."

    Shen Shaoguang has to be humble: "This is because customers prefer small shops, how dare you compare with the famous cake workshops and big wine shops in the East and West markets? Our shop has few villains, and they are all their own. Handling is better than ordinary taste."

    The guests nodded and looked at how kind little lady is, not the sly businessman who is full of tongues...

    A Yuan, A Chang: My little lady is too modest!

    Yu San: "…"

    Shen Shaoguang sold out the character design, and wanted to give a gift, "The guests will continue their lives, and the guests will have a long life."

      Shen Shaoguang also sent one. Happy Holidays.

    Shen Shaoguang's craftsmanship is ordinary, but the tricks in the palace are fresh, and it is attractive enough to take out.

    A person who knows the goods asked: "It looks like a 'inner family'?"

    Shen Shaoguang avoided answering, only smiled: "It's good that the guests don't dislike it."

      There were also people who asked Achang to help. Ayuan and Shen Shaoguang helped the female guests and children to wear them, and Yu Sanze devoted themselves to making cakes.

    Because of repeat customers, and because of the more beautiful cakes decorated with fresh fruit, today's business is better than before, this time I can't even take turns to go out for a stroll.

    Shen Shaoguang took the time to pour a cup of iced sour plum soup for the four of them, looking at the ingredients consumed, thinking about those repeat customers, hey, we Datang people are really lovely.

    Of course there are also unlovable ones.

    A young man in brocade clothes, about twenty-three or four years old, looks good, but his expression is a bit playful, "The little lady made a good cake!"

    "The guests have won prizes, what kind of guests do they want?" Shen Shaoguang asked with a smile.

    "Let's make some recommendations, little lady."

    "How many kinds of cakes did the guests buy that day?" Shen Shaoguang specially saved a "Splendid Future" gift box for the cakes bought by the Tanhua envoy at that time, and recommended it to young gentlemen. It is a mid-range gift box the best seller.

    The young man frowned slightly and smiled casually, "Alright." But he pestered Shen Shaoguang to ask others, what is this cake, what is that cake, how is it made, and what is special At the same place, he added: "I don't think that Tanhualang praised it accurately, he should say 'people are more beautiful than flowers'." He smiled at Shen Shaoguang with a pretentious smile.

    Shen Shaoguang has been a human being in two lifetimes. He has experienced subway satyrs. He doesn't take this level of harassment seriously, but he is afraid that he will intensify and endlessly. He immediately smiled: "Listen to Langjun Speaking, it's a little bit more like a new flower than Jinke..."

    The young man was a little embarrassed, but quickly turned around: "To tell the little lady, a certain job does not require scientific examinations, so you are not talented, and you have never tried it..."

    "Would you like to write a poem to praise today's grand scene?" Shen Shaoguang's language teacher possessed himself and offered the Dafa of "Writing an essay when traveling".

    This dynasty is really an era of poetry I am used to waiting to hear someone writing a poem. After listening to the cause and effect, some guests saw the intention of the stall owner's little lady to run, and they were indignant and took the lead in shouting and urging.

      come out?

    The young man is not stupid. Seeing what Shen Shaoguang meant, he became a little embarrassed, "I'm just a flower cake seller, and I want someone to write a poem?"

    But he suddenly heard behind him: "Who wants to write poetry? Come and listen."

    Not Lin Shaoyin, which one?

    Seeing that it was a high-ranking official in a red robe, the young man was much less arrogant, crossed his hands and saluted, "I have seen a noble."

    Lin Yan looked at him with a light expression, "Lang Jun read out the masterpiece, and I will listen to him."

    This is something that cannot be pronounced no matter what.

    Besides there is someone who is watching the fun and is not afraid of big things, "This gentleman can enter the office without the imperial examination, I think it is Enyin."

    Lin Yan nodded, "So, it makes sense if you are not good at words."

    The young man just breathed a sigh of relief, but then heard, "As a son of Gongqing, I want to come to familiarize myself with Taige Yifan and Yamen politics... This year, there is a lot of rain, why don't you say a few words about the disaster?"

    Young people: “…”

    Everyone laughed.

    Lin Yan looked at the onlookers, "Everyone, leave."

    Everyone crossed hands and retreated.

    When the crowd dispersed, Lin Yan pursed his lips and asked, "Who is Ling Zun?"

    "My father, Anton, is the Chief Protector."

    Anton Chief Protector Shi Douqi is a quite upright person. He didn't expect to teach such a son, Lin Yan looked solemn: "Don't make trouble for your lord."

    "Thank you for your teaching." The young man glanced at Lin Yan secretly, "I don't know who you are?"

    "Jingzhao Shaoyin Lin Yan."

      The official in the red robe is actually on the same level as his father, and he is also an official of Jingzhao. I think it is Jane in the heart of the emperor. This time, I went to Beijing to present the Dragon Boat Festival with my father. My father talked a lot on the way. The young man was not blindly reckless.

    Lin Yan glanced at him and knew that there was a fear...

    Shen Shaoguang thanked him with a smile when he saw Lin Yan relieved him. Lin Yan said softly, "Little lady's house, you should be more careful."

    Shen Shaoguang knew that he was well-intentioned, but how can he be careful when he goes out to do business?

    Lin Yan glanced at her and pursed her lips, "It's okay, there are few people in Beijing who don't care about their importance. You are always in the workshop, so it's okay."

    Shen Shaoguang: "..." The little temperament that had just arisen had to disappear.

    Shen Shaoguang lost his temper and asked with a smile, "What should Lin Langjun eat today?"

    Thinking he was going to say random arrangement again, but listened to him: "Drink sour plum."

    Shen Shaoguang poured him a bowl of iced sour plum soup.

    The time she poured the sour plum soup, Lin Yan saw the longevity strands in the gift box, "In addition to selling food, you also sell the longevity strands?"

    A Yuan told him next to him: "If you buy that gift box of flower cakes, I will give you one."

    Lin Yan nodded, "It's inconvenient for me to go out. When I go back, please send me a few boxes from your shop." Then he raised his eyes and smiled at Shen Shaoguang.

    Shen Shaoguang: "…"

    Shen Shaoguang resignedly put a VIP longevity thread in the tray, and said perfunctorily, "Langjun also gave it to him when he drinks the sour plum drink."

    Lin Yan licked her lips and looked at Shen Shaoguang, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, and took it after a while: "Thank you."

    Shen Shaoguang had the illusion of being molested. Did he just want me to help him put it on?

    The author has something to say:

    ①The poems were written by Cao Boqi, Wang Jian, and Lu You respectively. Later, Lin Shaoyin Fengxue rode a donkey across Baqiao and used Zheng Qi's poem "On the back of a donkey in Baqiao Fengxue". The introduction part of the longevity thread refers to the network information and the "Tang Dynasty Travel Guide".

    Call Lin Shaoyin's shameless again.
