Yang Haiyan was not afraid to take the bracelet with her. In a place like the border, there were three kinds of people: the powerful, the ordinary people, and the rich but powerless. The powerful would naturally not care about this bracelet worth a thousand taels. They could afford it, so would they come to rob it? The remaining two kinds of people would not even think of targeting the officers. Therefore, in Yongzhou, those who had some relationship with Yonghe Hou were indeed quite relieved.
Soon, three days later, it was the day for the selection of centurions.
Because of the competition and selection for centurions, the military camp was particularly lively today, and many soldiers from other teams also came over to watch.
This time the martial arts competition was hosted by General Ao, and he invited the eldest son of the Yonghe Marquis and the captains of ten thousand men from the other four teams to serve as witnesses. It was so lively because it was the first time that the Yong family army used a martial arts competition to select a captain of a thousand men.
General Ao: "The martial arts competition begins now. There are 2 centurions in total. They will fight in pairs. The loser will be eliminated and the winner will continue. It starts now."
The matchmaking was done by drawing lots, 2, 3, 4, 5, a total of five numbers, and each number had two slips of paper, which meant that the people who drew the same number would compete. The remaining five people continued to compete, and one of them had a bye. Although it was not absolutely fair, it was fair under the witness of the Yonghe Marquis's son and the other four captains.
The competition in the military camp was in full swing, and Yang Haiyan in the snack shop was also a little nervous. In the novel, although Qin Fang participated in the competition, he did not make it to the end. In the second round, he was eliminated because he was overwhelmed by the original owner after getting married to him, so he lost the competition. I don't know how the competition will be this time.
Yang Haiyan finally made it to dinner time. Qin Fang came back and she rushed to him: "How is he? Are you injured anywhere?" The general's hidden injury was very serious, so she was worried about where he was injured.
Qin Fang looked at her nervous expression, held her hand and said, "I'm fine. We stopped at the right time, so you won't get hurt. At most, you'll just have some flesh wounds, nothing serious will happen."
Yang Haiyan: “Really?”
Qin Fang took her hand and walked into the house: "Really, how could I lie to you? Yanyan, in this world, the only person I won't lie to is you." They are going to spend their whole lives together, how could he lie to her
Yang Haiyan felt relieved that he didn't seem to be lying, and then asked about the competition: "How was the competition? Is there a result?"
Qin Fang: "Not yet. In the morning, there is the top five competition, in the afternoon, there is the top five to three competition, and tomorrow is the final."
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she understood: "Besides you, who else made it to the finals?"
Qin Fang: "The first is Han Zhen, the second is Yang Baifu. My best opponent is Han Zhen. However, I will definitely fight for the position of captain of a thousand men." For you, for our future.
Yang Haiyan: "Well, I believe you." But speaking of it, she overlooked one thing. In the novel, Han Zhen won the competition and became the captain of a thousand men, but before that, there was another important thing, that is, before the captain of a thousand men competition, the heroine Yang Hua had already shown her face in front of the prince's wife, and the prince's wife was very grateful to her.
The matter of Yang Hua showing her face seemed to be related to the prince's concubine. The Yonghe Marquis's family guarded the border, so the ambitious people outside the border could not get in at all. So, they used their brains and set their sights on the young prince. If the young prince was kidnapped, Yonghe Marquis and his son would definitely lose their composure. When the enemy army came, Yonghe Marquis and his son would be forced to choose between the country and their heirs, which would destabilize the army.
However, this plan was disrupted by the heroine Yang Xihua. When Yang Xihua went to the county town, she discovered the clues and saved the young master.
But at the moment, there was no news about the young master being kidnapped, and there was no news about Yang Xiaohua saving the young master. This plot seemed to be different from the plot in the novel.
Or was it that this matter had been kept secret and had actually already happened? She didn't want to think about it because she would know it sooner or later. However, she guessed that it was unlikely that Yang Xihua had saved the young master, because she watched Yang Xihua almost every day and didn't find any clues. And since there was no news from the Marquis' Mansion, it was very likely that the young master was not held hostage, which meant that the plot was different from the original.
the next day
Qin Fang went to the military camp early. Yang Haiyan saw him off to the door of the family quarters. Qin Fang waved at her: "It's cold outside, go back quickly." Although she was wearing a coat, her frail figure still made him feel distressed. The weather in mid-April was particularly cold in the early morning, and he knew that she was afraid of the cold, but she still saw him off to the door. Thinking of this, Qin Fang was determined to win the first day of the day.
Yang Haiyan: “Yeah.”
Yang Haiyan returned home, drank a bowl of warm milk, tidied up a bit, and heard someone calling outside: "Is this Qin Fang's home?"
Yang Haiyan went to see that it was the official of the post station. The soldiers of the post station were all wearing the post station's coats with the word "post station" on them. Yang Haiyan said, "This is Qin Fang's house. May I ask if this official can help me?"
The post station soldier said: "Here is a letter from Qin Fang. He needs an ID to receive it. Please bring the ID here."
Yang Haiyan: "Wait a moment." She went back to the study and took out Qin Fang's identity document.
The post station soldier checked the document and found it was ok, so he gave the package to Yang Haiyan. Yang Haiyan looked at the package and saw the post station seal of Jintian County, Qin Fang's family, and knew that the package was sent by the Qin family.
Ancient times are different from modern times. In modern times, if there is an emergency, you can directly call, but in ancient times, you can only write letters, ask people to pass on messages, etc. Because of this, if there is an important matter, it is easy to be delayed. So in order to prevent things from being delayed, Yang Haiyan opened the package. Besides, it was a package sent by the Qin family, and there was nothing she couldn't read. If it was a letter about the military camp, she would not read it.
Yang Haiyan opened the package, which was a small wooden box. Inside the box was a letter and something wrapped in red cloth. Yang Haiyan first opened the red cloth and took a look. It was a silver bracelet, which surprised her. After putting down the silver bracelet, she read the letter again.
Brother, sister-in-law, hello, I am Shouye. This is a letter that grandma, father, and mother asked me to write. First of all, everything is fine at home, please rest assured... Sister-in-law, grandma and mother said that this silver bracelet is a betrothal gift from the Qin family to you, I hope you don’t dislike it...
After Yang Haiyan finished reading the letter, she picked up the silver bracelet again, and a warm feeling flowed through her heart. She had to say that the Qin family had put a lot of thought into it. She looked at the round silver bracelet with a goldfish carved on it. The workmanship was actually a bit rough, but for the Qin family, this should be the best and better betrothal gift they could get.
Moreover, if this betrothal gift is placed in the countryside, it should be considered a relatively grand betrothal gift. Although Yang Haiyan could not estimate the weight, she knew that this silver bracelet was about 200 taels. 200 taels was equivalent to several months' expenses for a farmer's family.
The Qin family's intentions were not just because of the gift, but because they had prepared a betrothal gift. Although her marriage to Qin Fang was arranged by the court, it was formal. But in the folk, only with a matchmaker and a betrothal gift could the procedure be completed. The Qin family supplemented the betrothal gift, and the matchmaker was naturally the court, which made her and Qin Fang's marriage more fulfilling.
Yang Haiyan stretched out her right hand and put on the silver bracelet. Although it was not as classy and elegant as the jade bracelet on her left hand, there were many good things in modern times, and for her, things that were made with a heart were the most valuable.
Her heart was burning, and she felt closer to the Qin family. The Qin family was quite far from here, and she would thank them properly when she returned next year.
It is her blessing to have such sensible parents who care about their children.
Military Camp
Qin Fang endured the pain and walked away with Han Zhen. Although his body was sore after two days of competition, his heart was satisfied.
Han Zhen: "I really admire you. You fought too hard this time." He was also a brave man, but Qin Fang fought harder than him. He lost half a move in this match. But he was also happy that his brother became the captain of a thousand men.
Qin Fang smiled rarely: "You have to work harder next time." He is different from Han Zhen. His wife is so good. If he doesn't work hard, how can he be worthy of her
Han Zhen listened and put away his playful expression for the first time: "Well, I will try harder next time." If he didn't try harder, the distance between them would get farther and farther, which was not good. "Hey... Qin Fang, look..." He was about to say something, but Qin Fang started running.
Yang Haiyan was standing at the door, looking towards them.
Han Zhen thought, how could he not see Qin Fang’s own wife
Qin Fang ran up to her and wrapped her in a cloak: "Why are you here? It's fine if you're here, but why aren't you in the car when it's so cold?"
Yang Haiyan smiled and said, "Because I thought, if it's good news, I want to be the first to hear you, and if it's bad news, I also want to be the first to comfort you."
Qin Fang listened, and seeing her gentle eyes, he couldn't help but lower his head. When he was about to kiss her eyes, he held back and looked at the soldiers around him. At this time, everyone was off duty, and there were many soldiers, so he hurriedly pulled her into the car. When they got into the car, he hugged her in his arms, and then kissed her forehead hard: "You are so nice." It always made him happy.
Yang Haiyan looked at his excitement and asked, "Is that good news?"
Qin Fang: "Well, I won. From this month on, I will be the captain of a thousand men. I will give you my salary of eight taels and one hundred coins. You can buy whatever you want."
Hearing the boldness and boasting in his voice, Yang Haiyan said softly, "My husband is really amazing."
Qin Fang's eyes were full of smiles: "Then... where is my gift?"
Yang Haiyan: "I'll give it to you when I get home."
Qin Fang is looking forward to it.
Han Zhen said outside the donkey cart: "Brother, sister-in-law, take me for a ride."
Qin Fang snorted.
Yang Haiyan chuckled.
Uncle Hong waited for Han Zhen to get on the donkey cart and then prepared to drive away.
Zhang Baifu sprinted over at a speed of 100 meters: "Wait for me..."
By the time Lu Baifu arrived, the donkey cart had gone far away.
The Qin family was naturally very lively tonight, and the dinner was particularly rich. In fact, regardless of whether Qin Fang was promoted to the rank of captain today, this rich dinner had already been prepared. If Qin Fang was promoted, it would be a celebration. If not, it would be an encouragement.
The rich dinner was not just about food. Yang Haiyan also prepared two taels of wine for him. It was not much, but just enough for him to enjoy it, after all, he had to go to the military camp tomorrow.
After finishing his meal, Qin Fang sat there to rest. A voice came from the door: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Qin Fang here?"
Qin Fang was stunned, and quickly stood up to ask, "Who is it?" When he saw the man at the door, he was very surprised, "Mr. Wang, why are you here?" The man was here on the wedding day, when his wife had an affair, and he went to invite the man, so he knew him.
Mr. Wang was in his fifties and looked very kind, with a young apprentice by his side. He said with a smile, "Mrs. Qin asked me to come over after dinner to check on Mr. Qin."
Qin Fang looked at Yang Haiyan in confusion, very bewildered.
Yang Haiyan explained: "In the past two days, you must have fought very hard in the competition for the selection of the captain of a thousand men. I am worried that you might be injured without knowing it, so I asked a doctor to come to check. In addition, you military officers work hard all year round, and it is easy to have hidden injuries. So let the doctor check you thoroughly when you are young, and treat any hidden injuries as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late, and you will be the one who suffers."
Qin Fang listened and looked at her with a hoarse voice: "Yan Yan..." The hoarse voice was choked with sobs. If he was not a man, he would have been moved to tears.
After examining Qin Fang, Dr. Wang prescribed medicine. Qin Fang was still young and didn't have any serious problems. He did have some hidden injuries from the war two years ago, but they were minor problems and could be cured by taking a few doses of medicine. The main reason was that he was young, and young people recovered quickly.
Hearing what Wang Xiaofu said, Yang Haiyan also breathed a sigh of relief. When she read novels before, she saw that many generals' hidden injuries would become fatal problems after they got older, so she had to be careful. For this reason, she also asked Wang Xiaofu about the issue of medicinal baths, hoping to improve Qin Fang's physical fitness.
Mrs. Wang: "Master Qin's medicine for treating hidden injuries and the medicine for the medicinal bath can be taken together. Take the medicine in the morning and take the medicinal bath in the evening. The effect will be better."
Yang Haiyan: "Thank you, Doctor." Doctor Wang's medical skills are pretty good. He is the most famous doctor in the town. Although his medical skills cannot be said to be very good, and he cannot compare with the powerful doctors in the county. But Qin Fang's problems are all minor problems. Doctor Wang's medical skills are enough to deal with these minor problems.
Mrs. Wang: "You're welcome, ma'am."
After seeing off Mr. Wang, Yang Haiyan was hugged from behind by Qin Fang before she even turned around. Qin Fang was tall, and even though Yang Haiyan was 1.62 meters tall, she could only have the cutest height difference in front of Qin Fang, who was 1.95 meters tall, and looked particularly petite.
Yang Haiyan was hugged so tightly by him that she could feel the hot breath from his mouth. She said with a smile, "The gate to the yard isn't closed yet. It would be so indecent if someone saw us."
Qin Fang didn't say anything, just hugged her like this. His chin rested on her shoulder, and he tilted his head to look at her profile. The woman's facial features were soft and beautiful, the best he had ever seen. But the most beautiful thing about her was not her appearance, but her heart. Qin Fang felt that he was cared for and loved by her. Just thinking about it made him feel very satisfied and happy. After a while, he said in a muffled voice: "What's wrong with that? We are husband and wife, and the marriage was granted by the court. It can't be more formal."
Yang Haiyan turned around with his arms around her, and then looked into his deep and gentle eyes, which seemed to have a vortex, drawing her in. Yang Haiyan stood on tiptoe and kissed his jaw: "Be good, go take a shower, I still need to boil medicine later." Then she pushed him away when he wasn't paying attention.
Qin Fang was indeed stunned, because she hadn't kissed him for a long time. But he recovered quickly and chased after her: "Yan Yan..." He actually knew that other couples didn't get along like this. For example, his grandparents, father, mother, uncle and aunt, they were not like this, but he liked getting along with her like this.
Yang Haiyan: "Go take a shower, Aunt Fan has already boiled the water."
Qin Fang: "Well, I went."
When Qin Fang went to take a bath, Wang Xianfu's apprentice brought the medicine. Yang Haiyan didn't know how to make the medicine, so naturally Aunt Fan was responsible. When Qin Fang came back from taking a bath, the medicine was not ready yet, so he went to his room to rest. He was very tired these two days and really didn't have much energy.
When he was in a daze, Yang Haiyan woke him up and asked him to drink medicine. After drinking the medicine, Qin Fang woke up again. He remembered what he had neglected: "Yanyan, you said you would give me a gift, where is the gift?"
Yang Haiyan opened the drawer of the desk and took out a small box from it: "Here."
Qin Fang took it and looked at the small box curiously.
Yang Haiyan: "Open it and take a look."
"Hmm." Qin Fang opened the box with curiosity and expectation, only to find a black jade hair crown and a black jade hairpin for men inside. He couldn't put them down and even put them on his body consciously. "How is it?" He asked with a hint of embarrassment.
Yang Haiyan: "My husband is so handsome."
Qin Fang was happy and his face turned slightly red.
Then, Yang Haiyan talked about the family letter again...
The next day, Mrs. Lu and Yang Hua came to congratulate her.
Mrs. Lu: "Haiyan, from now on you will be the wife of a real official appointed by the imperial court. Congratulations." Because the soldiers under General Ao have been on duty all day recently, she told her family when she returned home at night.
Yang Huahua: "That's right, Haiyan, congratulations."
Yang Haiyan: "Look at what you said. No matter what, we are sisters. When I first arrived and was not feeling well, it was Sister Lu who took care of me. Sister Hua and I grew up together, and the relationship between us is no different from others."
The three chatted for a while, and then another person came up: "Excuse me, is this the home of Mr. Qin Qianfu and Mr. Qin?"
"Is Mrs. Qin here?"
"Qin..."
One after another, this morning was not over yet, and several centurions' wives had come. Speaking of which, Yang Haiyan had been here for almost two months, and some of them had come only once, and some of them had been to the dim sum shop. It must be said that this saying that when a person gets promoted, his family members will also benefit from it is really reasonable.
Yang Haiyan sent the young ladies away with a smile on her face. When she sent them away, she said, "I will invite you all to tea when the documents from the Ministry of War come down. You must come then." At that time, Qin Fang was the real captain of a thousand men.
"If Mrs. Qin invites me, I will come."
When everyone had left, Yang Haiyan breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that she couldn't socialize, but that she just didn't like it.
"Qin Fang's..." Yang Haiyan breathed a sigh of relief and heard Zhang's mother's voice again. She was about to speak, but she heard Zhang's mother say, "Qin Fang's, I'm so sorry. I lent my money to someone else a few days ago, and he never paid it back until just now. Now that I have money, I gave you the five cents for the snacks."
Yang Haiyan: “…”
…
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, and Qin Fang started to work at night again. Although Qin Fang was promoted to a captain of a thousand men, the Qin family did not celebrate because the documents from the Ministry of War had not yet come down. However, the Ministry of War would not make it difficult for a captain of a thousand men, after all, it was a seventh-rank military position, and the Ministry of War would not care. Moreover, the seventh-rank military position had never been assigned by the court, because it was not rare, so it was selected from the military camp. So for the Ministry of War, there was no difference between selecting someone else and selecting Qin Fang. Besides, Qin Fang was appointed after winning the first place in the martial arts competition.
That day, Uncle Hong came back from delivering lunch and walked into the shop and said to Yang Haiyan, "Madam, congratulations, madam."
Yang Haiyan: "Why are you so happy?" Uncle Hong looked really happy. After all, he used to go collect firewood after delivering lunch, but today he came back without even collecting firewood.
Uncle Hong: "The military clerk who is serving as a thousand-man captain has come down." Only those with official ranks can be called "master", so they used to call Qin Fang "Master" or "Master", but now they can call him "Master".
Yang Haiyan listened and her face was filled with joy: "That's really a happy event, are you sure?"
Uncle Hong: "It couldn't be more certain. He can't come back, so he asked me to tell my wife the news so that she wouldn't worry."
Yang Haiyan overheard: "Aunt Fan, put up a sign outside the shop. Starting from tomorrow, there will be a promotion for three consecutive days. Just like the opening ceremony, buy a few dimes and get a cookie for free. And every two customers can have a cup of milk tea in the shop."
Aunt Fan: "Okay."
Aunt Fan put up a sign announcing a promotion in the shop, and a passerby came in and asked, "What kind of promotion is the shop having today?"
Aunt Fan: "Our boss is having a good time. We will be holding a promotion for three consecutive days starting from tomorrow. Buy a few dimes and get a cookie for free. And every two or three customers can have a cup of milk tea in the shop."
"Congratulations, that's great. The boss has a little boy? Are you pregnant?"
Aunt Fan: "Our master got promoted and became the chief minister."
"Oh, this is my happy event, my happy event..."
"Store owner, are you having an event today?"
"Store owner, what kind of event are you having this time?"
Soon, everyone in the neighborhood knew that the husband of the owner of the snack shop had been promoted. He used to be a centurion, but now he is a thousand-man captain. There is a huge difference between a centurion and a thousand-man captain. To borrow modern words, the military camp is a state unit, the centurion is a contract worker, and the thousand-man captain is a civil servant.
Originally, the business of the delicious pastry shop was good, and other pastry shops were envious, but everyone knew that Qin Fang was in the military camp. In this town, who dared to provoke a military family? Now that Qin Fang has become a seventh-rank captain, everyone dared not to mess with the delicious pastry shop.
After the announcement was made outside, Yang Haiyan said, "Aunt Fan, Aunt Hong, it's only noon now. You go make some small cakes and cookies. Uncle Hong and I will deliver them to you tomorrow so that he can distribute them to the people below."
Aunt Fan: "Okay, okay. Madam, how many do you want?"
Yang Haiyan: "My husband has thousands of vaginas, so do as much as you can."
Aunt Fan: “Hey.”
However, even if they worked for an entire afternoon, it was not enough for Qin Fang to receive 1,000 yuan. So Aunt Fan and Aunt Hong worked all night until the next morning. Fortunately, small cakes and small cookies are very simple to make, just knead the dough. At noon, Yang Haiyan took a donkey cart to the military camp, and there were several baskets of small cakes and small cookies on the donkey cart.
When Qin Fang came to get the lunch box, he didn't expect to see his wife: "Why are you here? Did Uncle Hong tell you about the military clerk?"
Yang Haiyan: "Didn't you ask him to say that?"
Qin Fang: "I was afraid that you would worry, and I was on duty at night this month and couldn't come back, so I asked Uncle Hong to tell you first." Then he sat on the donkey cart to eat, "Have you eaten yet?"
Yang Haiyan: "Of course I ate. It's ready, look." She lifted the carriage curtain. Qin Fang had his meal outside the donkey cart, so he couldn't see what was inside. Now that she lifted the carriage curtain, he could see the four baskets of snacks inside.
Qin Fang: "What are you doing?"
Yang Haiyan: "You have been promoted to captain of a thousand men. I made some snacks for you to give to your subordinates to celebrate. Is this appropriate?"
Qin Fang was pleasantly surprised and said, "OK, OK. Logically, I got promoted, and I should treat everyone to a drink, but there are so many people below, and it's not convenient to treat everyone to a drink, so this is better. But I'm afraid I can't take care of these four baskets, so a few centurions can go to the tavern in the town to treat them to a meal and a drink, but more than a thousand soldiers..." This is the custom in the military camp. Whoever gets promoted will treat the entire team to a drink. Qin Fang didn't expect that his wife was ready.
Yang Haiyan jumped off the donkey cart: "I know this is not enough, there is more behind, look."
Qin Fang followed him and put four baskets of snacks on the back of the donkey cart. There was a wooden board at the back, just enough space for them. "Yan Yan, thank you."
After Qin Fang finished his meal and carried eight baskets of snacks off the donkey cart, Yang Haiyan went back on the donkey cart.
The milky aroma of the eight baskets of snacks was so strong that it made the soldiers guarding the gate feel itchy. One of the soldiers ran over and asked, "Captain Qin, do you need any help?"
Qin Fang said: "Thank you very much."
Soldier: “You are too polite.”
Due to the initiative of one soldier, other soldiers also came over to move things.
Qin Fang and the gatekeepers each carried some snacks into the tent, and many soldiers saw it.
"Qin Xi, did you buy so many snacks?" Those who asked Qin to release Qin Xi were all the soldiers under him when he was a centurion.
"Captain Qin, are you going to give out some snacks?"
"Qin ..."
"Qin Xi..."
Suddenly, many soldiers gathered around.
Qin Fang: "Our soldiers from the eighth district have returned to the camp. Let's distribute some snacks." The Yong family army has 50,000 soldiers, divided into five districts, and the five districts are divided into five small areas.
After hearing Qin Fang's words, more than a thousand soldiers in District 8 shouted with joy.
Han Zhen and his men came over after finishing their meal: "Captain Qin, what are you doing?" Although Han Zhen and Qin Fang were brothers for life and death, and Han Zhen still called Qin Fang by his courtesy name in private, in the military camp, Han Zhen respectfully called him Captain Qin, after all, Qin Fang also needed to establish his authority.
Zhang Baifu: "Is this the snack made by Mrs. Qin?"
Qin Fang: "Come and share it with the guys. This is the snack made by my wife. Please celebrate with the whole team." From his tone, there was full of pride. He was not proud of being promoted to captain of a thousand men, but proud that he had such a good wife.
Han Zhen pouted. Qin Fang has really changed. He used to be silent with a cold face, but now he can be heard talking from time to time, and he always talks about his wife.
Soon, everyone in the entire military camp knew that District 8 was paying attention, and the people in other districts were extremely envious.
"It's so lively here." General Ao and the Prince of Yonghe came over.
Seeing the situation, he hurriedly saluted: "Hello, Prince. Hello, General Ao." In the entire Yong family army, there was no soldier who did not know the Prince, there were only soldiers who the Prince did not know.
Yonghe Hou Shizi: "No need to be polite, I heard you guys are sharing snacks here, so I came to join in the fun."
…
Yang Haiyan returned to the dim sum shop and saw Aunt Fan and Aunt Hong were busy. Aunt Hong wrapped the child in cloth and carried her on her back. Yang Haiyan hurried to greet the customers. Speaking of which, there were not as many customers in the afternoon as in the morning. There were really many in the morning, especially when they knew there was free milk tea to drink, they all lined up early. It was a pity that there were only two people, and very few people could drink it. And those who drank it were really happy. The sweet and fragrant milk tea satisfied their taste buds.
Because the event lasted for three days, there were still a lot of people queuing up early on the second day.
Yang Haiyan looked at two of the boys and said, "Xiaowei, Xiaowei, you are here." The two kids came to line up early yesterday and came again today for the milk tea. Because they had eaten the Xiaoyuanzi milk tea on the day of the September party, the two brothers could not forget the taste. So when they knew that there would be an event in these three days and that the first two customers would have Xiaoyuanzi milk tea, they came to line up before dawn.
Lv Wei: "Aunt, I bought some cakes and my brother bought some cookies."
Yang Haiyan: "Okay, go and make it, and Auntie will bring it to you later."
Lu Weiwei: "Thank you, auntie."
Yang Haiyan brought the plate over: "Here, a small cake, a small biscuit, two small biscuits given as gifts, and two bowls of glutinous rice ball milk tea. Before drinking the glutinous rice ball milk tea, eat a small biscuit to fill your stomach, so that you can grow taller faster when drinking the glutinous rice ball milk tea."
Lv Wei: "I know, don't worry, Auntie. You told me about it when we came to eat yesterday, and we remember it."
Yang Haiyan: "Xiaowei is the best." Goat milk has a relatively high nutritional value. If you drink goat milk on an empty stomach, the protein in the goat milk may combine with stomach acid, which is not conducive to the absorption of protein. Therefore, Yang Haiyan will remind guests to eat a small biscuit first to fill their stomachs.
"Boss, I also want two bowls of jiaozi milk tea and two cents of dim sum." A woman came in with a little boy. In order to be the first two people in line, the woman and her grandson worked very hard. Because they were two people, they could represent themselves in the line, so if they bought two dim sum, they could get two cups of jiaozi milk tea for free.
Yang Haiyan: "Auntie, come sit here. I'll prepare some milk tea with dumplings for you." She remembered this auntie, who often came to visit. Although she bought two or three cents each time, it was enough for the children to eat as snacks. This auntie's wife was the manager of the restaurant, so the family had no worries about money. Besides, children of this era had few snacks, and her snacks did not contain any flavoring or saccharin, so they would not affect the health of the children. More importantly, they were delicious and cheap, so they were very popular with the children. Buying them to appease the children was very cost-effective.
The wife said: "Thank you, boss." She really liked coming here to patronize the dim sum, not only because it was cheap and delicious, but also because everyone knew that the boss's husband was from the military camp and was an officer, so she felt that things from an officer's house made her feel more at ease.
Yang Haiyan brought over the steamed dumpling milk tea and gave the same instructions as before: "Aunt, let your grandson eat a piece of dessert first to fill his stomach while he eats."
The woman said: "Oh, I know."
"Qin Fang's family... Qin Fang's family... We are here." Zhang's mother came with her grandchildren. She didn't even bother to queue up and went straight into the shop.
Speaking of Zhang's mother, Yang Haiyan was also very confused. She owed five cents to her before, but she didn't pay after a few days. Because it was her first time to owe money, and they said that everything is more than three times, Yang Haiyan didn't ask for it. But on the second day after Qin Fang was selected as a captain of a thousand men in the competition, she came to pay it back.
I have to say, Zhang's mother is really an excellent person.
Yesterday, Zhang's mother also came to queue up, but unfortunately she came too late and the milk tea with dumplings was sold out. Today she came early, but if she queued up, she would not be able to get in the first two places. But yesterday, Zhang's mother privately told her to save three bowls for them today. After deducting about 20 bowls, there would be three more bowls, so Yang Haiyan saved them for them. It would not affect the interests of the first two places, and it would also save Zhang's mother from embarrassment, because the extra goat milk would be thrown away anyway if it was not drunk.
Yang Haiyan: "Auntie, come and sit here. How many snacks do you want?"
Zhang's mother: "I bought three cents worth of snacks. I paid one cent, my grandson paid one cent, and my granddaughter paid one cent. One cent was for a small cake, and two cents was for a small biscuit."
Yang Haiyan nodded, handed over two small cakes, eight small biscuits, three free biscuits, and three bowls of glutinous rice balls and milk tea, and reminded: "Auntie, before drinking glutinous rice balls and milk tea, you have to eat a small cake or biscuit to fill your stomach. Eating on an empty stomach is not conducive to absorbing nutrients."
Zhang's mother: "I know, I know." Then she turned to Zhang Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, eat a piece of cake first, then drink some milk tea."
Zhang Xibao: “Got it.” He took a bite of the cake and then began to drink milk tea in small sips.
Zhang's mother thought her grandson was obedient, so she also fed him cake. Zhang Xiaobao was over a year old, and he could eat soft cake. After feeding him the cake, she fed him milk tea. Children drink slowly, so Zhang's mother fed him small sips and drank a few sips herself.
Yang Haiyan saw it at the side, and she thought the three bowls of milk tea with dumplings were for the three children. As a result, the little girl sat there pitifully without even a biscuit, and the three bowls of milk tea were for Zhang Xibao, Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang's mother.
