Siheyuan: Starting at 52, I, He Daqing, will not run away

Chapter 57



He Daqing's steamed bun shop was said to be ready in two days.

In fact, it was already a week later when it was actually opened.

Because after the cleanup, he had the walls inside repainted. When the paint smell was gone, he also prepared the tables, chairs, coal stoves, iron pots and steamers, etc., which took another four or five days.

So it was not a week before the steamed bun shop officially opened.

During this period, he was not idle. In addition to purchasing some necessary items for opening the store, the rest of the time was spent teasing Chen Xueru. He would visit her from time to time and have a chance encounter. He would talk about all kinds of things, some of which were irrelevant, and the main purpose was to create a sense of existence.

Occasionally, he would give her a little surprise and recite two online love poems from later generations.

Like"I would like to turn into a stone bridge, be blown by the wind for five hundred years, be exposed to the sun for five hundred years, and be beaten by the rain for five hundred years, just to ask a girl to walk across the bridge."

Or"I have been praying in front of the Buddha for thousands of years, and I am willing to exchange several lifetimes for our love in this lifetime" and so on.

There are also:"The picturesque landscape is not as good as the cinnabar between your eyebrows, and the flawless music is not as good as the love words in your ear. I promise you a lifetime, accompany you for a hundred years, guard your bright eyes, watch your smile like a flower, ride with you to the end of the world, and accompany you for a lifetime."

Finally, there are some straightforward verses, such as"I am happy with you, I like you, and the rest of my life is all you!" and so on.

The main point is that he is versatile and has connotation.

In a moment, Chen Xueru was fooled.

If it weren't for the fact that He Daqing had a son who was already seventeen and was about to get engaged, she might have been fooled by He Daqing to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate.

It can only be said that the existence of He Yuzhu has slightly improved the difficulty of He Daqing tasting the little white rabbit.

Finally, it is the decoration of the bun shop.

There is nothing much to say about the decoration inside the shop. It is similar to other small restaurants, except that the kitchen has been transformed into an open kitchen, just like the back kitchen of a factory. Looking from the outside, the stove, pots, pans, sauces, etc., are all clearly visible. Whether it is clean or not, whether it is hygienic or not, anyone who comes to the store to eat can see it clearly.

Finally, there is the size of the space of the bun shop.

Because of He Daqing's various tinkering, the first floor of the shop, which was originally about 100 square meters, had less than two-thirds of the space left to place tables, chairs and benches.

For this reason, He Daqing directly replaced the tables, chairs and benches with 10 long tables and high stools. In the space of more than 60 square meters, there were eight tables. If it was really full, it could probably accommodate 40 to 50 people.

After everything was arranged.

Hang up the plaque of"Lao He Baozi Shop"!

He Daqing did not specially find someone to pick an auspicious day, and directly announced the opening.

…………

November 15, 1952.

It was the tenth day since He Daqing traveled through time.

It was six o'clock in the morning, and it was still dark. Many people living in Daqianmen had not gotten up yet.

A light orchid fragrance spread in the streets around Lao He's steamed bun shop, causing many people who had gotten up and those who hadn't gotten up to sniff hard, greedily wanting to inhale the fragrance into their lungs.

Xueru Silk Shop!

At this time, Chen Xueru had already woken up, but she was still lying in bed.

When the light orchid fragrance filled her nostrils, she couldn't help but sniff hard, and the whole person sat up directly, surprised:"Is this... Qimen Red?"

This thought fell.

Then came a burst of annoyance, and couldn't help cursing:"Which bastard tea shop is this that stir-fries tea so early in the morning? Aren't you afraid that someone will smash the tea stall?"

Although she cursed like this, Chen Xueru's hands did not stop. She quickly changed her clothes, and then dressed up a little, opened the door, and followed the tea fragrance to find it.

There was no other reason.

Because she was a tea lover.

The smell of this Keemun Red tea was so good that she knew it was a top-grade tea. If she didn't buy two taels of it right after the tea leaves were roasted, she might miss it.

Of course, she was also curious about which tea shop was roasting tea so early in the morning, and where did they get the new tea from?

"Could it be the autumn tea just imported from Jiangxi?"

Chen Xueru thought secretly in her heart, and felt that apart from this possibility, there should be no second possibility.

Keemun black tea, a famous historical tea in China, a famous black tea boutique, referred to as Qihong, is produced in Qimen, Dongzhi, Guichi, Shitai, Yixian in Anhui Province, and Fuliang in Jiangxi.

Many people in the old city, especially women, like to drink Keemun black tea, especially in winter.

That's because the tea nature of this tea is mild and has the effect of warming the body and warming the stomach.

Drinking black tea in winter can not only warm the stomach, but also increase digestion.

In addition, Keemun black tea is also rich in antioxidants, which can delay aging and inhibit the growth of bacterial cells.

If you drink some Keemun black tea regularly, you can also prevent influenza, heart blood circulation, etc.

, which is very suitable for patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Finally, Keemun black tea enjoys a high reputation and is well-known both at home and abroad.

It is the favorite drink of the Queen of England and the royal family.

It has a high reputation and is well-known far and wide.

It is also known as"the most fragrant of all flowers.

""、"The Queen of Black Tea".

In this way, it is not surprising that Keemun Black Tea is sought after by celebrity women.

Chen Xueru is one of them. She only drinks Keemun Black Tea on weekdays.

But when Chen Xueru just opened the door of Xueru Silk Shop, she was surprised to find that there were many people standing in front of her shop.

No.

It should be said that there were many people standing in front of the shop next to her.

Because there were too many people, many people couldn't squeeze in, so they stood at the door of their own house.

Look at the shop surrounded by people.

Isn't it the old He Bao that made her a little annoyed? Baozi shop?

All right.

If you want to blame someone, blame He Daqing for being too good at teasing people. After knowing Chen Xueru, he would meet her every now and then and tease her.

As a result, in the end, a 17-year-old engaged son showed up. Do you think Chen Xueru is annoyed?

It has been two or three days, and he has never given He Daqing a good face.

It's just... seeing so many people gathered in front of Lao He's steamed buns shop, it seemed that the sky was angry and the people were resentful. Chen Xueru suddenly became a little worried. She was worried and annoyed. She shouted twice and squeezed in.

"Uncle Niu, what's going on? Why are you all gathered in front of this steamed bun shop that hasn't even opened yet so early in the morning?"

Not far from the steamed bun shop, Chen Xueru went straight to an acquaintance to inquire about the situation.

"What else?"

When Uncle Niu heard Chen Xueru's question, he said unhappily,"Whose tea is this so early in the morning? The aroma of the tea has aroused the gluttony in people's stomachs. Aren't we all here to buy two taels to take home and try it?"

"Finally, we followed the smell and found a steamed bun shop, which was not open yet."

"So everyone can only wait here at the door, ready to see what the situation is."

I heard from Uncle Niu that everyone was waiting here to buy tea, not to cause trouble.

Chen Xueru finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then reacted, and asked belatedly:"No, Uncle Niu, you mean, the tea fragrance is coming from this bun shop?"

"Hey, is this fake?"

Uncle Niu said unhappily,"You said this is nonsense. If you have the ability to stir-fry tea, then just open a tea shop. What's the point of hanging a sign for a steamed bun shop?"

"That's right, if you have this ability, just open a tea shop. What's the point of hanging a sign for a steamed bun shop?"

"But this Keemun red tea is very good, the taste is very good, it smells like the best tea, much better than the ones sold in ordinary tea shops"

"You are talking nonsense. Why would so many people gather here so early in the morning? Aren’t they supposed to buy some to take home and taste?"

"But you said that with such great tea-frying skills, why don’t you open a tea shop but a bun shop?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?……"

"…………"

Niu Ye's words seemed to have ignited everyone's resentment. They all spoke up. Some praised the bun shop owner for his good tea-frying skills, while others were curious about why the shopkeeper had to sell buns when he was so good at tea-frying.

Chen Xueru no longer had the heart to listen to everyone's discussions.

She had found the culprit who caused her to get up early, and all the new and old grudges were added together. (To read the exciting novel, go to Fulu Novel Network!)

She simply stepped over the crowd with her long legs and started banging on the door:"Open the door, open the door, open the door for me!"

Inside Lao He's bun shop.

He Daqing was busy boiling tea eggs.

A large iron pot with a diameter of 80 cm was placed on the coal stove. The boiling water gurgled, and the tea eggs that looked like red amber were lifted up by the boiling water and sank again and again.

Next to the iron pot, He Daqing stretched out his hand and took���A boiled egg is hit lightly with a small iron spoon, and cracks appear on the eggshell, eventually spreading to the whole egg.[]

Don't underestimate this light smash, it is a very advanced technical job.

The essence of Jinwu medicinal tea eggs, in addition to the corresponding medicinal food and ingredients, lies in this light smash, which can make the gaps spread all over the eggshell, allowing the taste of the tea soup to penetrate into the egg white and egg yolk inside. He

Daqing is not bragging. If you change someone else to do his craft, he can't learn it without ten or eight years and thousands of times of tempering.

Even for him, it is the memory and skills instilled by the system.

Otherwise, he can't learn the craft.

It is definitely a technical job.

Not far from He Daqing, Sha Zhu was busy putting the wrapped buns in the steamer.

He Daqing was 100% confident in Lao He's tea egg craftsmanship, because even without the blessing of medicinal food, the pot of tea eggs he cooked reached the top level.

After all, the Jinwu medicinal tea eggs themselves are improved on the basis of top-level tea eggs, making the originally delicious tea eggs into medicinal food that can cure diseases, save lives and enhance physical fitness.

Because he was confident in the tea eggs, he prepared a big pot this time. He cooked 300 tea eggs in one pot, just to make his bun shop a success.

On the contrary, he only prepared 200 big meat buns, because after tasting the buns from other shops, he knew that his buns were better than the others, but not as good as the others. He was afraid that he could not sell so many, so he steamed less.

Then there were some pickles, noodles, seaweed egg drop soup, etc. from Liubiju.

At this time, He Daqing also saw the many figures outside the bun shop.

But he didn't take it to heart. He was still busy with the tea eggs in an orderly manner, preparing to wait for the buns to come out of the oven and open the shop on time after 6:30.

Who would have thought that he was busy.

There was a knock on the door outside the shop.

He Daqing has a bad temper.

After hearing the knock on the door, he walked directly to the door of the shop with a small iron spoon in his hand.

"Hey, why are you here!" He opened the door and saw the person he had been thinking about day and night. He Daqing said enthusiastically,"It's cold outside, come in and warm up." When people reach middle age, they are strong and hot.

He Daqing didn't want to stay alone in the empty room for ten days without knowing how meat tastes. He must perform well and try to get someone to help warm the bed as soon as possible.

So when he saw Chen Xueru, he had to be enthusiastic.

In order to eat meat every day in the future, it is worth being a dog licker for a few days.

""Hmph!"

Facing He Daqing's passionate gaze, Chen Xueru blushed at first, and then she walked inside with her waist twisted proudly, just like going back to her own home.

Seeing this, Niu Ye and others standing behind Chen Xueru followed and wanted to go into the store.

But as soon as they walked to the door of the store, they were stopped by He Daqing, who smiled and said,"I'm sorry, everyone. The buns in our store have just been put into the steamer. It will take a while before the store opens. Why don't you go back and rest for a while and come back after half past six?"

The buns had just been put into the steamer, and the tea eggs had just been put into the pot. It would take a while for the buns to be steamed and the tea eggs to be cooked.

He Daqing had to explain this clearly.

You can't let people waste time in the bun shop, right?

So He Daqing looked at the crowd of people outside and had to bite the bullet to stop people and persuade them to go back.

Niu Ye was unhappy when he saw that he was treated differently. He didn't care about Keemun black tea and directly argued,"No, what do you mean?"

"Do I have to choose someone to enter your store?"

"Why can Chen Xueru enter but we can’t?"

"You have to explain this matter clearly to everyone, otherwise you can't open this shop, just close it down directly."

What a guy.

His uncle Niu has lived in Daqianmen for most of his life, and his ancestors all lived in the imperial city. When has he ever been treated differently like this? He should have a good talk with the shopkeeper in front of him and make things clear. What do you think, does his uncle Niu want to stay in Daqianmen?

He Daqing was not afraid when he heard the dissatisfaction of the man in front of him, but apologized with a smile:"Sir, you really misunderstood me. How dare I mean that?"

"The main thing is to open a shop and do business. Everyone knows that before the store officially opens for business, outsiders are definitely not allowed to enter. You can't have customers waiting outside while your stove is still not heated up, right?"

"Isn't this a waste of everyone's time?"

Niu Ye is also an interesting person. When he heard He Daqing's answer, he was immediately amused and said with a smile:"It seems that we are all outsiders, but Chen Xueru, the shopkeeper Chen, is your wife."

He Daqing couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart when he heard Niu Ye's words.

This assist... this cooperation... is really amazing.

Chen Xueru, who had just entered the store, had not found the place to fry tea leaves when she heard Niu Ye's teasing, and her face was slightly red.

According to her original temperament, she would definitely turn around and retort Niu Ye.

But today, after hearing such teasing, her body felt like it was filled with lead, so heavy that she couldn't turn around at all, let alone defend herself or retort. She pricked up her ears to listen to what He Daqing was going to answer.

He Daqing heard Niu Ye's words, and he didn't defend himself, but said generously:"Hey, just for what you said, Niu Ye, I must give you a discount when you buy buns from me in the future. I will accept your kindness and continue to work hard."

It was a fair admission that he had feelings for Chen Xueru.

At the same time, he also wanted to use everyone's mouth to spread the news, telling others that Chen Xueru, the flower in front of Daqianmen, already had a master, so everyone should stop thinking about her.

When Chen Xueru heard this, her face turned red, as if it was on fire, even her ears were red, and she looked so beautiful that she was no longer the strong woman she used to be. There was only one thought left in her mind.

"It's so embarrassing, how could he do this, who promised to be his wife!"

The little girl in the fifties, she had seen the pursuit methods of later generations.

This is not it.

The two had only known each other for a week, and Chen Xueru, who had always been a heroine, had been fooled by He Daqing and had a good impression of He Daqing.

Now, hearing He Daqing admit that he had feelings for her in front of a group of neighbors, almost a public confession, she was instantly at a loss, and her heart was ashamed and annoyed, and a little sweet.

When Niu Ye heard this answer, he came to his senses and said with a smile:"There is really something going on in this relationship!"

After saying that, he did not forget to glance at Chen Xueru.

Seeing Chen Xueru standing there, she did not speak with her back to everyone, as if she did not hear it.

Niu Ye didn't know that she had also moved her mind, so he directly gave He Daqing a thumbs up and admired:"Okay, you took down a flower in our front door without saying a word, you are awesome!".
