Farmhouse Stone Mountain

Huo's pharmacy recently bought a batch of medicinal materials, and they have been busy for a long time. When they are free, the shopkeeper Huo picked some gifts and brought Fulai to see how the opening of Shishan is going.

Seeing a long dragon from a distance, shopkeeper Huo panicked, wondering if something had happened, he trotted forward, and Fulai behind him was so anxious that he was still jumping like this at a very old age.

"Hey, wait a minute, you old man, why are you jumping in the queue, go to the back of the queue?" Shopkeeper Huo was yelled at by an inexplicable person before he entered the store.

"Yes, yes, I came here early in the morning, I want to eat earlier next time"

"Yes, yes, go in line at the back! An old man still comes and squeezes!"

Shopkeeper Huo "..."

After working for a long time, Shi Shan took the plate, "Next, what's for dinner?" The owner of the ironware shop finally delivered the plate that Shi Shan had ordered early in the morning, and it had been open for a few days.

The owner of the iron shop shirtless smiled and said: This thing has never been done before, and I have to think about it.

The dinner plate, which looks completely different from the plate, has attracted many customers. It would be nice if it was lighter in weight.

No one made a sound for a long time, Shi Shan raised his head and was taken aback, "Old man Huo, why are you here?"

Shopkeeper Huo's expression was a bit grim. He has lived to this age, and many people have begged him to see a doctor. No one has ever waited in line for such a long time.

"This dark-faced one," Shi Shan said with a smile, "go sit in the backyard, and I'll go over when I'm done with work."

Hearing what Shi Shan said, shopkeeper Huo lost his temper now. He looked at the little pumpkin who was sitting and collecting money, walked over and picked up the little pumpkin, who refused to accept the old man, and helped collect the money. "The child is so young, let him work. !"

The dinner plate is in place, and the rice can be served directly in the plate at one time, instead of taking the bowl with the small pumpkin, just watch people throw money in.

After a while, when the dishes were finished and the people dispersed, Shi Shan stopped, walked over to shopkeeper Huo and said, "Old man Huo, haven't you eaten yet, let's go together?"

Shopkeeper Huo was holding the little pumpkin with a smile, so he didn't have time for Marble Mountain, "The little pumpkin is so powerful! One day, go to Grandpa Huo's and give some candy to him."

"Xiao Jiang, don't be too busy, clean a table, let's eat first"

Xiao Jiang’s name is Jiang Shenghua, that little scholar. When Shi Shan posted the recruitment notice, Shi Shan saw him coming over for dinner from time to time, wandering in line, and asked if he had anything to say. He wanted to work here every day. Just give four or five cents.

Shi Shan was taken aback, "Aren't you studying at Qingxi Academy? Do you have time to work?"

"I'll come over after school, and I can clean the table and wash the dishes," he said neither humble nor overbearing.

Shi Shan saw that he was wearing coarse cloth that had been washed white, and there were many patches. After asking, he found out that there was a sick and weak old mother in his family who had to drink medicine every day to support him.

"Well, you can come here after school. I only sell one meal a day now. You help clean up the table, greet the guests, wash the dishes, and I will give you six cents a day plus a meal. Do you think it's okay? ?”

"I don't need you to be pitiful, just give me four pennies for the meal."

This kid is tough.

"Who has time to pity you, I take a cub by myself, I can't pity myself, I pity you, I'm an investment, wait for you to be the number one in high school, I can't stick to your light, that's all, remember to go to tomorrow work, greet the guests well”

Shi Shan went to the backyard to bring out the dishes, stewed rotten soybeans and pork feet, double-cooked pork, fried glutinous red beans, and white rice in a wooden barrel.

Shopkeeper Huo had already smelled the fragrance, and he went to the table with the little pumpkin in his arms.

"Xiao Jiang, eat"

"No, I'll just have some leftovers." It was white rice again, Xiao Jiang refused all the time.

Shi Shan ignored him and moved a stool, "Hurry up, wash the dishes and do some work after eating, you won't be going back to the academy in the afternoon?"

Xiaojiang just sat down to eat, and Fulai couldn't wait to sit down. "Boss Shi, the dishes you cook are really delicious, no wonder there are so many people."

Shopkeeper Huo took a sip, and he calmed down a bit, and said firmly, "It's okay."

The pig's knuckle has been stewed, and if you take a bite, you can pick out the bones. Seeing that Xiao Jiang doesn't pick up any vegetables, Shi Shan scooped a large spoonful into his bowl, turned his head and chatted with shopkeeper Huo, "Old man Huo, renting a house I have to thank you for the matter, I have almost the same amount of money here, if I want to buy the store, I have to trouble you."

"I'll have someone come over tomorrow." Shopkeeper Huo put a spoonful of red beans into his mouth. It was so fragrant and glutinous that he squinted his eyes.

----

Shopkeeper Huo, act quickly, after a day, the business of buying a store is almost done, and Shi Shan's happy life is finally on the right track.

but……

"Uh, are you here to collect money? My own house also collects money?" Shi Shan looked at the visitor, raised his eyebrows, waved a big spoon, and shook the tangle of hair on the back of his head, and said unwillingly.

He Junzhi's expression remained unchanged, his serious and upright face was calm, and his whole body was meticulous. It's hard to imagine that he waited in a long queue to get here.

“I came to eat”

One sentence made Shi Shan choke, "Okay, what to eat?"

"Three Meats and Three Vegetables"

Shi Shan took the plate and ordered the dishes and handed it over, "The rice is next to you, and you will be full with three pennies. You move, the next one"

Shi Shan stopped seeing people, and continued to have dinner, but Xiao Jiang, who was clearing the table, took a break, walked up to him and whispered, "Brother Xiaoshan, this is the dean of our academy, Mr. He"

Shi Shan paused, and asked strangely, "Principal? He's not a city manager, not a member of the government?"

"It's not from the government, Brother Xiaoshan. The dean found out about my part-time job yesterday. He just came over today to take a look. It's nothing." Xiaojiang explained Shishan's appearance as if he was facing an enemy.

Are the deans of ancient academies so young?Aren't they all five or sixty years old?A dean speaks with such weight in the magistrate?And last time he charged his booth fee, what the hell is it? Although he helped Shi Shan in the last sacrifice, but every yard counts, Shi Shan's impression of him didn't improve at all.

"Ma'am, it's him, here"

There was a smart voice at the door.

Shi Shan looked, and the two people who came in at the door made many customers in the store look up.

Isn't this the old lady and his maid that I met in Huo's shop that time?

Light makeup and plain color, a little powder and daisy, and a light blue smock, like hibiscus emerging from clear water, are completely different from the gloomy dress of that day, as if a different person.

The eldest lady walked into the store with the help of her maid, and saw Shi Shan smiling, "Do you still remember me, little brother?"

Shi Shan put down the big iron spoon in his hand and came out from the counter, found a clean table and greeted people to sit down, with a slightly teasing tone, "Ma'am, I haven't seen you for a few days, it's getting better!"

The eldest lady pursed her lips and lowered her head to smile a little shyly, "Thank you for reminding me that time, I heard shopkeeper Huo said that you opened a shop here, and brought some meeting gifts."

Someone came in carrying a wooden table and stool at the door.

"Your store has just opened, and the tables and stools will definitely be useful. It's just a wish, and you just accept it," the lady said with a smile.

This thing was really a gift, and Shi Shan had to pick it up. A few tables and chairs are not considered expensive, but when he opens the second floor, he really needs to buy some. This lady really understands people's thoughts.

"Thank you then." Shi Shan was not polite anymore, he beckoned people to carry the tables and chairs to the backyard, after thinking about it, he packed some decent dishes as a gift in return.

The eldest lady was a little curious about the dinner plate, and the decorations in the shop were also elegant and comfortable, so when Shi Shan handed over the packaged meals, the eldest lady also asked the maid to accept it.

"If you need anything in the future, you can come to the mansion to find me," said the eldest lady before getting into the carriage.

house?Which house?Shi Shan watched the people get into the carriage, but he didn't ask whose wife it was.

The servant girl glanced at Shi Shan, got off the carriage, and walked to his side in a few steps, "Our wife is the wife of the county magistrate, do you understand?"

The county magistrate's wife?It was the one with the mustache and the small eyes. Shi Shan was taken aback for a long time before he sighed: What a beautiful woman with a dick! .

With this crop, the customers in the shop are afraid to look down on Shijilou. It is backed by the county magistrate, so they can't be underestimated.

Shi Shan waited for the last few guests to finish their meals and close the door, but the last one turned out to be Dean He, who had already finished his meal and ordered a pot of honeysuckle tea brewed by Shi Shan to drink slowly. Shi Shan is not easy to drive people away.

Xiao Jiang even does things in a well-behaved manner, cleaning the table and washing the dishes.

Shi Shan took out the chessboard that he planned to buy a few days ago to pass the time, and played backgammon on the table with the little pumpkin in his arms.

"In this way, the first five to form a line will be the winner. You can see that there are five horizontally, five vertically, and five diagonally."

"Father, can't four be allowed?" Little Pumpkin stretched out his little finger and counted his black chess pieces and asked. It was only a few days since Shi Shan taught him how to count, and it will take one by one to count clearly.

"No, only five backgammon can win, and four is cheating." Shi Shan scratched the little pumpkin's nose.

"Bill, please"

Shi Shan raised his head and said casually, "A pot of scented tea costs five cents, thank you for your patronage."

He Junzhi took out the money and put it on the cabinet table, glanced at the black and white chess pieces of the two, pinched the black chess piece in the little pumpkin chess basket, and placed it on one position, successfully forming four pieces in a row.

Little Pumpkin looked up at this serious uncle, then looked at the chessboard, counted "one, two, three, four" with his fingers, and suddenly came to his senses, pulling the corner of Shi Shan's clothes to urge Said, "Dad, come down quickly, I have four of them."

Shi Shan rolled his eyes at the nosy man, but the four black stones couldn't block the other side, so he found a random place and placed a white stone, the little pumpkin bit his finger with a smile, picked up a black stone and put it down "Daddy , I have five." He looked up at He Junzhi and showed his signature glutinous teeth, "Thank you uncle, uncle is still amazing."

He Junzhi raised the corner of his mouth, touched Little Pumpkin's head, and left.

The stone mountain is clouded and foggy, what is this man doing?Highlighting one's own advanced chess skills is not done by backgammon, so why not show off! .

And Xiao Jiang, who was clearing the tables and chairs, was surprised: This is the first time he saw the dean smiling?That's a joke.
