The morning fog in Dengyingfang is thin, as if a light veil is shrouded in the streets.

The husband who took the turn of the night yawned with a bamboo stick and a gong, and walked to the changing room.

In the morning stall shop at the entrance of the alley, there is a big tripod on the stove, the firewood is jumping brightly, and the white porridge boiling in the ding is thick and thick, and the rich porridge fragrance seeps out little by little.

The boss is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a slightly sloped leg, holding a long wooden chopstick, frying fried juniper on the side of the oil pan.

It was still early, and the people who were going to work hadn't gotten up yet, but a young man in a Tibetan robe walked over at the entrance of the alley.

"Hey, isn't this a long tide? Going to the river again? The little lady in the family, didn't cook for you? ”

The weather at the end of February was still extremely cold, Lin Yanchao rubbed his hands and smiled: "Yes, I didn't want to wake her up early, I just remembered your fried juniper, uncle, so I came to taste it, the old rule is ......."

The boss said with a smile: "I know, I know, the old rule is a big bowl of thick porridge, no rice soup, a plate of pickles, fried juniper, and soy sauce." You sit by yourself, I'm so busy that I won't say hello. ”

"Okay."

Lin Yanchao sat down, and the boss said with a smile while fiddling with the fried juniper with wooden chopsticks: "Yanchao, I heard from the workshop yesterday that your county tried it." ”

"Well, yes, fluke, fluke."

"Eh, that's a big deal, you'll be a serious reader in the future, if you don't do it, I'm going to call you a good man soon."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Don't, aren't you kidding me?" Xianggong is a talent, but I haven't passed the test yet. Even if you pass the prefectural exam, there will still be a hospital exam. After passing the hospital and entering the school, you can be called a fair. ”

The boss sandwiched a freshly fried juniper and put it on a plate. Placed in front of Lin Yanchao, he said with a smile: "Yanchao, you are so young, and you are so diligent, Zhongxiucai is a matter of the past few years, uncle believes in you." ”

Lin Yanchao took a bite of the fried juniper, nodded with a crispy mouth, and said, "Besides, I'll be hypocritical, just borrow your good words from uncle." By the way, is there any stew in the store? ”

"There's some left over from last night."

"Then come on some."

"Okay, I'll boil it in the brine for you. More flavorful. ”

"Thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome."

"Uncle, your store is crooked, I'll hang it for you later."

"Okay. I have inconvenient legs. I'm sorry for you. ”

At that moment, the boss served Lin Yanchao thick porridge. Braised and boiled. Lin Yanchao boiled the pickles, dipped the soy sauce in fried juniper, and then used chopsticks to put the outermost layer of hot porridge into his mouth little by little, and after a while, beads of sweat were oozing on his forehead and face, which immediately dispelled the spring cold.

The sun was rising and dispelling the fog. The number of people working in the market has gradually increased.

Boss this business. It is gradually getting better, and everyone knows Lin Yanchao, a teenager who gets up early every day to read, walks by the river, watches chess, and fishes.

One by one, they joked: "Isn't this the future Xianggong?" It's terrible, the county test of 3,000 people and 50 people, all let you pass. Look at this little face, it looks smart! ”

"The county has tried, have you met the county master? Did you like you a few words? ”

"Yan Chao, I'll tell you about family affairs!"

"Don't make any noise, he has a daughter-in-law at home."

Neighbors who are not familiar with each other came to ask, Lin Yanchao could only smile, the etiquette must not be wrong, otherwise it will be said that you have a good ambition and look down on your former neighbors.

What's more, Lin Yanchao hasn't achieved his ambition yet.

After the people dispersed, Lin Yanchao helped the boss hang up the disguise, wrapped two fried junipers in paper, and paid for them to take home.

Passing by the paper room at the entrance of the alley, a familiar guy ran out and said: "Yanchao, Yanchao, our store is new to Huimo, Hubi, help you try to win the championship!" ”

"Ahh Don't you only sell paper? Ah, well, I'll check it out another day, and I'll go home first. ”

Walking to the small alley in front of the door, he met Fang Jia in the workshop, and Fang Jia saw Lin Yanchao and said with a smile: "Oh, this is not the big talent in our workshop." ”

"Mr. A, if you say this about me, I'm really ashamed, I don't dare to be it, come and sit at home." Lin Yanchao smiled and bowed.

"Nope. I came to your house to collect more money, and the river service has also arrived, oh, forgot, your family is exempt from service. Look at my memory, Yanchao, if you win the show, everyone in our workshop will count on you. ”

"Mr. A, you're here again."

Lin Yanchao exchanged a few polite words with the chief officer, and then returned home.

pushed open the door, but saw Lin Qianqian holding a boiling water pot with a long mouth, walking around the yard.

Lin Yanchao said: "Shallow, what's wrong?" ”

"Catch the mouse, this thing bit off the wick last night."

Seeing Lin Qianqian's crazy look, Lin Yanchao said: "Forget it, don't catch mice, let's eat linyl juniper first." ”

"Nope."

Lin Yanchao shook his head helplessly.

Zhang Haoyuan, after Hou Zhongshu left, the hut was a lot more deserted.

Lin Yanshou did not do well in the exam, so he went to live with his third uncle in an old house in the countryside for a while. Uncle, grandpa is not at home in the government office all the year round, and the family is a little less lively.

Lin Yanchao was about to go upstairs to read, when he heard a knock on the door outside. Lin Yanchao remembered that there was no man at home except for himself, so he could only go out and open the door.

Lin Yanchao thought as he walked: "It seems that it's time to invite someone." ”

The other party knocked on the door like a mountain, and Lin Yanchao couldn't help but say in his heart, why was the person so angry, so he replied: "Coming, coming." ”

Lin Yanchao opened the door, but saw a soldier standing at the door of his house.

But seeing that this soldier was tall and tall, wearing a red and fat jacket, holding a waist knife in his hand, his face was full of fierceness, and his eyes looked him up and down: "Your name is Lin Yanchao?" ”

Lin Yanchao's heart sank, and he felt that the other party was a little unkind, so he turned and said, "What do you ask my cousin to do?" He wasn't at home. ”

"Where did he go?"

"Went to the river, what's wrong?"

"You just came back from the river?" The other party asked.

"No?"

"Then why did you get a wet piece on your boot?" The other party wondered.

"Are you stupid, don't I go to the well in the morning to fetch water?"

"No, when the well water is wet, it's a piece of trouser knee, from the top down, but you are the sole of your boots, and the edge of your pants is wet, and it's clearly wet."

Well, it's so hard to deceive, do you want to be Sherlock Holmes, Lin Yanchao hurriedly remedied: "I'm short and weak, and the water is sprinkled on the ground, so I wet the soles of my boots and pants." ”

There was a little doubt about the aspect, obviously not believing, at this time, a neighbor passing by and said with a smile: "Yanchao, I heard that you have passed the county test, it's amazing!" ”

"Hey, hey." Lin Yanchao could only laugh helplessly.

But seeing that the soldier glared at Lin Yanchao and said, "That's right, you are Lin Yanchao!" ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't hide and said, "I am, what are you looking for me?" ”

The soldier said: "That's right, I am a family member under Yu Dashuai, Yu Dashuai has a life, let you go to the General Soldier's Mansion!" Come with me. ”

Saying that, this soldier did not allow Lin Yanchao to speak, and dragged him and strode away.

"Hey, big brother, can you not be so vigorous!" Lin Yanchao screamed. (To be continued......)
