Madam, let's steam buns together

Yang Dabao came to the rice grain shop that usually supplies him. As soon as he entered, the shop owner and customers who knew him surrounded him and talked to Yang Dabao enthusiastically.

They are usually so enthusiastic, and now they are very curious about Yang Dabao's new wife who just married yesterday, making them even more enthusiastic.

"Dabao, today is the second day of your wedding, why don't you stay at home with your wife, what are you doing here at the rice shop?"

"That's right, there is such a beautiful woman at home and I still don't keep close to her. If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to go out today. It would be a pity to miss a look."

"Tsk tsk, look at your prospects, Dabao and the young master of the prime minister's family will be able to see each other every day in the future, why don't we see each other for a while, there will be more time in the future, right?"

"Don't tell me, yesterday I saw what the young master looked like. He was really good-looking. Dabao, you are really blessed. I was a little envious, even jealous."

"Old Cao, are you kidding me? You don't like men."

"If I can marry someone as beautiful as his wife, I don't mind if he's a man!"

"...tsk tsk."

The initial intention of these people to gather around was to chat with Yang Dabao and listen to some small gossip about Dabao's family, but they ended up talking to each other from beginning to end, without giving Yang Dabao a chance to answer questions at all.

After their chatter stopped, Yang Dabao began to speak: "With these two days free, I want to make something different at home."

Everyone looked at him one after another, their eyes filled with words: Yang Dabao, have you been dazed by the great event of getting married, are you out of your mind?

If you are free these few days, why don't you hurry up and love and love your new wife, who is so preoccupied with researching new varieties of steamed stuffed buns, leaving such a beautiful lady aside?

Yang Dabao, do you want to live with Baozi directly?

Everyone was trying to persuade him, when Yang Dabao continued: "He likes the buns I made very much. I want to make a few buns that he likes according to his taste, and only let him taste them."

This is called - exclusive to the wife's favor, private customization.

Everyone was at a loss for words, and their noses were sour from the smell of love.

...I'm really envious!It's obviously just a matter of a few buns, why do they feel so enviable.

The onlookers dispersed silently, and only the owner of the rice store remained where he was: "What do you want to buy? I recently bought some good dried white fungus here, which is most suitable for nourishing the body. Would you like some?"

White fungus is indeed a good thing. It is usually cooked and placed there. If Zhang Hua wants to drink it anytime, it can fill his stomach and nourish his nutrition. It is a good choice.

Yang Dabao included dried white fungus in today's purchase list, and began to explain to the owner of the rice and grain shop what he wanted and the quantity: "Then let me bring four taels of dried white fungus, ten catties of white flour, half a catty of lentils, and two taels of lotus seeds... ..."

Yang Dabao didn't ask for too much quantity, but there were many types. The boss personally recorded the account for him and accompanied him to choose: "Pay two yuan as a deposit first, and I will ask the guy to deliver these to your house later, you After the count is correct, pay the remaining four qian and [-] wen."

After paying the deposit readily, Yang Dabao thanked the owner of the rice shop and walked outside the shop.

Next, he was supposed to go right and go straight home, but he stopped and looked wistfully to the left of the rice shop, a pastry shop a few shops away.

Seeing that there was no customer coming in for a long time at the empty pastry shop, and the shop assistant in charge of greeting was sitting at the door and dozing off majestically, Yang Dabao's expression dimmed, and he looked at the shop with distress and pity.

It's obviously in the best location, and it used to be a shop where people could travel across half of Chang'an City just to come here for breakfast, but now it has fallen into such a state.

Yang Dabao didn't continue to stand on the spot and stare blankly, turned around and started walking towards home. However, he seemed a little absent-minded along the way, as if he had been thinking about something, and he didn't even know he walked through the door unconsciously. Wolfberry, with sharp eyes, ran out and called Yang Dabao to stop.

At this time, Yang Dabao had already walked to the door of the next door, and he came back to his senses after being called out by the medlar, hurriedly turned back and trotted back, scratching his head in embarrassment.

Wolfberry was suspicious: "What are you thinking about so preoccupied? Even the door of the house is going wrong."

"It's nothing, just stunned for a while accidentally." Yang Dabao changed the subject, "Where's your young master?"

Lycium barbarum raised one eyebrow: "What is my young master, young master, you should change your mouth. If someone else hears you calling my young master like that, they will think that you are so estranged in private."

Yang Dabao was stunned by Gou Qizi's words, and he didn't understand the meaning of Gou Qizi's words.

Wolfberry had no choice but to clarify the words more concisely: "You should call my young master madam, your madam."

According to the conventions of this dynasty since the marriage between men and men was opened, the person who gets married is called Fulang, and the person who gets married is called Mrs. Yang Dabao can call Zhang Huaruo Mrs. or Wife.

They just got married yesterday, how could Yang Dabao remember to change his words so quickly, bowed his head and smiled innocently, immersed in the joy of having a family.

After talking for so long, Yang Dabao was still standing outside the door, the medlar stepped aside, no longer stood in the middle of the door blocking the door, and pulled Yang Dabao in: "The young master is in the bedroom, hurry up."

At this time, the group of men in black clothes with their faces covered had disappeared, Yang Dabao was a little shocked when he saw the newly decorated roof and the piles of chopped firewood in the woodshed: "They are so nimble, It’s good to do whatever you want, but I want to be a thief, I hope it’s just their greed for a while, and they won’t do it again in the future.”

I don't know if those people will pick up people's roofs to listen to the corners of the walls again, but I can be sure that they will never dare to come to Yang Dabao's house to pick up roofs again.

As soon as Yang Dabao entered the room, he saw Zhang Huaruo sitting by the window reading a book, and on the table not far behind him was still the hentai wine that he hadn't had time to drink last night.

Walk lightly, Yang Dabao didn't want to disturb Zhang Huaruo's reading. In his opinion, reading is a very important thing and must not be disturbed.

Picking up the wine on the table and preparing to leave, Zhang Huaruo turned around and said, "What are you taking away?"

Yang Dabao said bluntly: "It's getting in the way."

Zhang Huaruo was puzzled: "I haven't drunk yet."

"...I thought you didn't want to drink anymore." Yang Dabao put down the wine again.

Zhang Huaruo apologized a little: "I was negligent last night, and I just fell asleep like this. Let's put it on and drink tonight."

Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and Yang Dabao naturally hopes to be considerate of all the etiquette, which also means that his marriage with Zhang Huaruo can be completed to the end, so he will not insist on it.

Taking a look at the furnishings in the house, it is slightly different from before I went out this morning.

Originally, the house was full of his belongings, but now there were a lot of other things in those places, and it was Zhang Huaruo's belongings at first glance, which filled his home more fully, and finally had the breath of another person's existence.

A stool was moved and placed beside Zhang Huaruo, and Yang Dabao just sat beside Zhang Huaruo and accompanied him, neither talking nor doing anything, just staying beside Zhang Huaruo.

It was the first time to read a book under such circumstances. Although Zhang Huaruo's eyes were on the book, his mind was not on it, and he couldn't read a word at all.

Fortunately, he was just reading for entertainment, and it was fine to go in if he didn't read it, so he didn't feel that Yang Dabao sitting next to him was disturbing.

The sun was shining outside, and the wind was warm.

Zhang Huaruo thought of what he saw on the piece of paper in the wooden box before, and he was skeptical, so he decided to open his mouth. He originally wanted to ask tactfully, but after thinking about it, this kind of thing should not be regarded as shameful, so he asked directly. Better.

If Yang Dabao needs help, he will naturally help. The two are already a family now, and some things should not be separated from each other.

"Dabao, did your family have a breakfast shop of its own before?"

Yang Dabao raised his head in surprise. This happened a long time ago, and he doesn't know where Zhang Huaruo heard about it.

But it's not something that can't be said, Yang Dabao nodded in agreement.

Zhang Huaruo asked again: "Why didn't you redeem it?"

Yang Dabao sighed: "I haven't saved enough ransom money yet. If I could, of course I would like to redeem Dad's bun shop early, but I have only saved less than half of the money so far."

Zhang Huaruo found it strange. It clearly stated on the piece of paper that Yang Dabao's father gave the steamed stuffed bun shop to his relatives in exchange for some silver taels. The paper was slightly damaged, but it did not prevent the part of the amount from being seen. It should be only 50 taels. .

Yang Dabao's family can't be regarded as rich and powerful, but the 50 taels should still be affordable. He is so hardworking every day and spends little on weekdays. .

"How much do you need? I still have some private money here. I can redeem that shop for you first."

If Zhang Hua thinks this way, the turnover of opening a shop for a day must be greater than that of the steamed stuffed bun stall, and if he redeems the steamed stuffed bun shop earlier, Yang Dabao can also earn more earlier.

Yang Dabao shook his head: "I can't use your money. You are not in good health and have lived a good life. You should keep it for yourself. I have my own considerations, and I will work hard to earn money by myself as soon as possible." Enough money to redeem the store, and then I can let you accompany me to live a better life, I will not wrong you."

When he said this, he had a smile on his face. Obviously, he had really thought about the future of the two of them and had his plan.

"It's only about two or thirty taels. Since I have married into your family, I should also contribute to maintaining this family. I can't do hard work, but I can afford to pay this little money, and I should pay it. .”

Just now Yang Dabao said that he saved almost half of it, that is, it only needs 30 taels at most. From Zhang Huaruo's point of view, there is no need to care about the exchange of such a small amount of money between him and Yang Dabao.

Seeing that Zhang Huaruo was so persistent and sincerely wanted to help him, Yang Dabao hesitated and said, "It's still 280 taels short."

This amount was too different from what Zhang Huaruo expected. He was a little shocked, not because he was reluctant to part with so much money, but because he felt that it should not be this amount. He hurriedly asked, "Your father paid 500 taels for this shop?"

It turns out that on that piece of paper, the damaged part is not written with "pick up", but "hundred"?

This shouldn't be the case, a steamed stuffed bun shop is not worth the price of 500 taels of silver, 500 taels is enough to open three or four new shops!

Yang Dabao told Zhang Huaruo the whole story.

It turned out that when Yang Dabao was only three or four years old, their family did have a steamed stuffed bun shop, the business was booming, and the net profit of the shop could reach nearly one tael of silver every day.

Later, Dabao's mother fell ill due to too much hard work in the early years. Dabao's father spent a lot of the family's savings in order to treat Dabao's mother.

In addition, Dabao's father was worried about her, and he didn't have the energy to run the store well. The follow-up income could not keep up, and the family gradually began to make ends meet. In the end, he had to start borrowing some money from relatives and friends to ease the urgent needs of the family.

It’s just a small loan, and everyone can help as much as they can. If you borrow more, it will become difficult. At that time, Dabao’s father thought of putting the steamed stuffed bun shop out first. Anyway, he had no intention of running it at that time. Let's talk about Yang Dabao's mother's illness being cured.

Yang Dabao's mother had advised him not to sell the shop rashly, but Dabao's father still insisted on this: "It's not like selling the shop. When you recover, we'll make the money back. Don't worry about money now." .”

In Dabao's view, nothing is as important as his own family. Only when the family is still there can it be meaningful to make money.

In this way, Dabao's father gave the bun shop to Dabao's uncle, that is, Dabao's uncle, in exchange for a lot of money.

Later, Dabao’s mother recovered from her illness, and the family thought they could finally start again, but due to unforeseen circumstances, Dabao’s parents encountered a natural disaster when they were out, and both died, leaving only ten-year-old Yang Dabao at home, From then on, a person's life began.

At that time, Yang Dabao was still young, and most of the money owed by Dabao’s father had not yet been repaid. Those people also felt sorry for the only one left in his family. Give Dabao some time, and slowly pay back when he grows up and can make money.

Dabao didn't know who his father borrowed money from, and how much they borrowed, so he repaid the money according to the IOU signed in black and white.

As for the huge amount of silver taels that the steamed stuffed bun shop gave to my aunt, although the documents of his family are not clear, they are usually in duplicate. He has seen the documents held by my aunt, and it is clear It said 500 taels, and he would pay it back at 500 taels.

We are all relatives, and we would not intentionally cheat him if we thought about it.

After listening to Yang Dabao's narration, Zhang Huaruo opened his mouth and hesitated to speak. It seemed inappropriate to say some comforting words at this time. After hesitating for a while, he sighed: "Your father and your mother have a really good relationship."

Although the fate is rough, at least they all happily face the hardships of life with a smile, which is enviable.

Yang Dabao didn't show too much sadness when talking about this past event. He has also seen it for so many years. For parents, it is probably enough to hold each other's hands tightly until they die. .

He looked up at Zhang Huaruo, couldn't help but get closer, leaned forward slightly, and solemnly said: "I will treat you well, just like my father treats my mother. You are the oldest in the family, and I am the first. two."

Zhang Huaruo didn't dare to meet Yang Dabao's eyes for a moment, because the light in them was too dazzling, but he quickly turned his gaze back, looked at Yang Dabao seriously, and smiled slightly.
