Chapter 356 5 Years Old
"Fifteen bowls of spicy hot pot, eight bowls of small potatoes, twenty skewers of lamb, fifty skewers of pork, a plate of mushrooms, add more spicy, and three cups of green plum wine, warm it with hot water, don't make it too hot~"
In the backyard of the shop, the Jiang family members who were having lunch followed Jiang Eryong's words.
It was instantly busy.
There are stoves on the first to third floors of the shop.
In addition, every table was full of guests, so it was not cold inside, but very warm.
Many guests even took off their capes and cloaks because they were so hot.
Her cheeks are as red as Jiang Fubao's.
The diners were in groups of three or five. Some were shaking their heads, talking about poetry or reciting poems, while others were gossiping in low voices.
Men and women, young and old, can be seen everywhere in the shops.
The noisy sounds intertwined together, penetrated the windows and walls, and penetrated into Jiang Fubao's room and her ears.
But it didn't stop her from reading seriously.
His big eyes were fixed on the medical book in his hands, without any distraction.
The snack shop business in winter is as good as that in summer.
Even though the wind was biting cold, there were still people queuing outside the shop.
Zhang Jinlan was worried that they would be cold.
A pot of hot red bean soup was specially placed at the door.
Free drink.
From opening in the morning till closing at night.
It left a good impression on many guests.
At the gate, the expressions of the guests going in and those coming out are very different. Those going in are basically shivering with cold and have grim faces, while those coming out have happy smiles on their faces, and you can hear burping from time to time.
"It's too hot in here. Ouch, I'm sweating all over. Eating spicy hot pot in cold weather is more refreshing than in summer. Brother Wang, can you come tomorrow? I'll treat you."
"Come on, come on. Brother Li is treating us, so we have to come. It's very cold, and a bowl of spicy hot pot and a cup of hot plum wine are so comfortable. Even gods can be like this. The key is that the meal we have together is not enough to order two meat dishes at a restaurant. No wonder the Jiang family snack shop is doing so well, it's as it should be."
"Put on some clothes quickly, it's really cold outside, don't catch a cold, Brother Wang, see you tomorrow, I'm going back first."
"Okay, see you later. Go slowly on your way."
"..."
Two regular customers who had just walked out of the shop put on the coats they had taken off in the shop.
One faces east, the other faces west, and each returns to his own home.
When someone comes out, it means someone goes in.
But no matter how much we went back and forth, the queue didn't get shorter.
The booming business made the owners of other restaurants and snack shops in the same alley gnashing their teeth in hatred.
Since the autumn harvest, the price of grain in the town has gradually dropped.
The prices at Jiang's snack shop have also dropped slightly, but not much, after all, the cost of the shop is high now.
In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve again.
Different from last year.
There was no snow on New Year's Eve this year.
Plus we moved to a new house.
The Jiang family celebrated this New Year in town.
Red lanterns were hung on the front and back doors of the Jiang residence. They were particularly large and the most expensive of all the lantern shops in town.
The lanterns are round and red, with red tassels hanging from the bottom and mythical beasts and auspicious words painted in gold on top.
The door pairs and the words "Fu" have already been posted.
It exudes the scent of ink, and you can smell it if you get closer.
This was written by Meng Zhili himself.
Of course, Jiang Fubao also asked for it by begging. Her godfather's handwriting was the most beautiful she had ever seen.
Grandpa Gan’s is not bad, but the handwriting is a bit sloppy and not suitable for writing on Spring Festival couplets.
My family members have just learned to read and their handwriting is so sloppy that they can’t tell what the words are. It would be terrible if someone asked them and made a fool of themselves.
Those who live in this alley are the wealthiest people in town.
The knowledge is also the broadest.
Someone passed by Jiang's house and was stunned when he saw the words on the Spring Festival couplets.
No one who has seen County Magistrate Meng's calligraphy will forget it.
It is truly a great blessing to have County Magistrate Meng write the Spring Festival couplets himself.
These people are extremely envious.
With this kind of relationship, he can basically walk sideways in Lianshan Town and even the entire Qixi County.
Never offend.
Jiang Fubao was unaware of her unintentional action.
The neighbors were in awe of her family.
Celebrating the New Year in town is more lively than in the village.
Almost no one in the village was willing to buy firecrackers, but it was not the case in the town. At dawn, Jiang Fubao heard a few firecrackers coming from outside from time to time.
It was probably some kid from somewhere setting off some fireworks.
It's so scary, so startled.
The servants in the house were also busy.
Some people tie red ropes on the trees in the garden.
Others brought ladders and hung rows of small red lanterns on the corridor.
Swaying in the wind together.
The atmosphere is full of Chinese New Year.
"Grandma, come and take a look at my new clothes. Do they look good?" Jiang Fubao put on the new clothes that her mother had chosen for her before the Chinese New Year.
Without combing his hair yet, he ran to the courtyard where his grandma lived and showed off.
"You look good. My dear grandson is fair-skinned. You look good in anything you wear. Look, if someone else wore this pink, it would look tacky and make their face look darker. But our Fubao looks even whiter in it. But why haven't you combed his hair yet?"
Zhang Jinlan also changed into a new smoky red dress.
Her hair was combed into a bun by the maid, with a huge gold hairpin inserted diagonally on it, and four small hairpins with pearls on each side.
There was a peony flower made of gauze pinned behind her hair.
Looks elegant and luxurious.
She reached out and picked up her granddaughter.
The white jade bracelet on the left hand and the gold bracelet on the right hand were revealed together.
This is the gift my sons and daughters-in-law gave me on my birthday this year.
It’s very expensive.
She only wears it during the Chinese New Year.
Zhang Jinlan picked up the handkerchief at her waist and wiped the oil stains off her granddaughter's mouth while asking.
Fried dumplings for breakfast.
This handkerchief was the one that Jiang Fubao had given her before.
Zhang Jinlan is always on my mind.
No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter.
"Hey, I really wanted to show grandma my new clothes, so I came here without having time to comb my hair. Grandma, I'll go back first and come back after I finish combing my hair."
Jiang Fubao ran away again.
As she passed by the left and right wing rooms, she did not forget to make an appointment with her three sisters to go to the garden to play half an hour later.
Sun Pingmei was also there as soon as she entered the courtyard.
She came specially to comb her daughter's hair.
Otherwise Zhu Yingqiu would have to comb three heads of hair by herself.
At that time, a man dressed as a servant stopped outside the Jiang family's gate on horseback.
"Boom boom boom——"
Although the door was open.
But he knocked anyway.
Ah Dong, who was hanging lanterns, came over and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I am a servant of the Fang family. My master ordered me to come here from Chang'an Town before dawn. Could you please tell them that I want to see your old lady?"
The Fang family's servant's hands and face were red from the cold, and he spoke to Adong with a flattering look on his face.
