Yang Haiyan was not afraid of taking the bracelet out. In a place like the border, there are only three kinds of people: the powerful, the ordinary people, and the rich but powerless. The powerful naturally would not care about this bracelet worth a thousand taels. They can afford it, so would they come to rob it? The remaining two kinds of people would not even think of targeting military officers. Therefore, in Yongzhou, those who have some relationship with the Marquis of Yonghe are indeed quite relieved.
Soon, three days later, it was the day of the thousand-man competition selection.
Because of the thousand-man competition selection, the military camp was particularly lively today, and many soldiers from other teams also came to watch.
This time, the competition was hosted by General Ao, who invited the son of the Marquis of Yonghe and the other four teams of centurions as witnesses. It was the first time that the Yong Family Army used a competition to select centurions, so it was so lively.
General Ao said: "The competition starts now. There are a total of ten centurions, two by two, the loser is eliminated, and the winner continues. Start now."
The pairing is done by drawing lots, 12345, a total of five numbers, and each number has two slips of paper, which means that people who draw the same number will pair up to compete. The last five people left will continue to pair up, and one of them will be a bye. Although it is not absolutely fair, it is fair under the witness of the son of the Marquis of Yonghe and the other four centurions.
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 marrying her. So he lost the competition. I don’t know how the competition will go this time.
Yang Haiyan finally made it to dinner time, and Qin Fang came back. She rushed up to him: "How is it? Are you injured anywhere?" The general's hidden injury was very serious, so she was worried that he was injured somewhere.
Qin Fang looked at her nervous expression, held her hand and said, "I'm fine. We just stopped at the right time, so no one will be hurt. At most, there will be some flesh injuries, and nothing 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 lives together, how could he lie to her?
Yang Haiyan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and then she asked about the competition: "How was the competition? Are the results out?"
Qin Fang: "Not yet. The competition was 10 to 5 in the morning, and 5 to 3 in the afternoon. The finals will be tomorrow."
Yang Haiyan understood after hearing this: "Besides you, who else made it to the finals?"
Qin Fang: "One is Han Zhen, and the other is Yang Baifu. My biggest rival is Han Zhen, but I will definitely fight for the position of a thousand-man leader." For you, for our future.
Yang Haiyan: "Well, I believe you." But speaking of it, she overlooked one thing. In the novel, Qin Fang won the competition and became a thousand-man captain, but before that, there was another important thing, that is, before the thousand-man captain competition, the heroine Yang Dahua 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 Dahua showing her face seems to be related to the prince's son. The Yonghe Marquis family guards the border, so the ambitious elements outside the border can't get in at all. So, they used their brains and set their sights on the young master. If the young master was kidnapped, Yonghe Marquis and his son would definitely lose their sense of proportion. When the enemy army arrives, Yonghe Marquis and his son will have to choose between the country and their heirs, which will make the army unstable.
However, this plan was disrupted by the heroine Yang Dahua. When Yang Dahua went to the county town, she found clues and saved the young master.
But now, there is no news that the young master was kidnapped, and there is no news from Yang Dahua that she saved the young master. This plot seems to be a little different from the plot in the novel.
Or is it that this matter has been kept secret and has actually happened? She couldn't figure it out, so she didn't think about it, anyway, she would know sooner or later. But she guessed that it was very unlikely that Yang Dahua saved the young master, because she saw Yang Dahua almost every day and didn't find any clues. And there was no movement in the Marquis' Mansion, so the young master was very likely not held hostage, which means that it was different from the original plot.
The next day
Qin Fang went to the military camp early. Yang Haiyan saw him off and walked him to the front door of his family's house. Qin Fang waved at her: "It's cold outside, go back quickly." Although she was wearing a jacket, her frail figure still made him feel distressed. The weather in mid-October was particularly cold early in the morning, and he knew that she was afraid of the cold, but she still wanted to see him off. Thinking of this, Qin Fang was determined to get the first place today.
Yang Haiyan: "Yeah."
Yang Haiyan returned home, drank a bowl of warm milk, tidied up, and heard someone outside calling: "Is Qin Fang's home here?"
Yang Haiyan went out and saw that it was the official of the post station. The soldiers of the post station all wore the post station's jackets with the word "post station" on them. Yang Haiyan said, "This is Qin Fang's home. Does this official have anything to say?"
The post station soldier said, "Here is Qin Fang's letter. I need an identity document to receive it. Please take out the identity document."
Yang Haiyan said, "Wait a moment." She went back to the study and took out Qin Fang's identity document.
The post station soldier checked it and found that there was no problem with the document, 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 hometown, on it, so she 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 call directly, but in ancient times, you can only write a letter or ask someone to pass the message. Therefore, if there is an important matter, it is easy to be delayed. So in case things are delayed, Yang Haiyan opened the package. Besides, it was a package brought by the Qin family, and there was nothing she couldn't see. 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. There was a letter in the box and something wrapped in red cloth. Yang Haiyan opened the red cloth first and took a look. It was a silver bracelet. She was a little surprised. 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, everyone in the family is fine, 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 reading the letter, Yang Haiyan picked up the silver bracelet again. A trace of warmth flowed through her heart. I have to say that the Qin family is thoughtful. 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 betrothal gift they could afford.
Moreover, if this betrothal gift was 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 one or two taels. One or two taels was equivalent to several months' expenses for some farmers.
The Qin family's intentions were not only because of this gift, but because they prepared a betrothal gift. Although her marriage to Qin Fang was arranged by the court, it was very formal. But in the folk, the procedure was completed only with a matchmaker and a betrothal gift. The Qin family supplemented the betrothal gift, and the matchmaker was naturally the court, which made her marriage to Qin Fang 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, modern people have seen all kinds of good things. To her, things that are thoughtful are priceless.
Her heart was a little hot. She felt closer to the Qin family. The Qin family is a little far away from here. When she goes back next year, she will thank them well.
It is her blessing to have such a sensible parent who considers the child.
Military Camp
Qin Fang endured the wound and walked out with Han Zhen. Although his body was painful after two days of competition, his heart was satisfied.
Han Zhen: "I really admire you. You fought too hard this time." He is also a brave man, but Qin Fang fought harder than him. In this competition, he lost half a move. But he was also happy that his brother became a thousand-man leader.
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 rarely: "Well, I will work harder next time." If he doesn't work harder, the distance between them will become farther and farther, which is not good. "Hey... Qin Fang, look..." He was about to say, but saw Qin Fang running.
Yang Haiyan was standing at the door, looking in their direction.
Han Zhen thought, how could Qin Fang not see his own wife?
Qin Fang ran 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 from you, and if it's bad news, I also want to be the first to comfort you."
Qin Fang listened and met 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. Everyone was off duty at this time, and there were many people. He hurriedly pulled her into the car. As soon as they got into the car, he hugged her in his arms, and then kissed her forehead hard: "You are so nice." This always made him happy.
Yang Haiyan looked at his excited expression: "Is that good news?"
Qin Fang: "Well, I won. Starting from November, I will be a captain of a thousand men. In the future, I will have a salary of 8 taels and 100 wen. I will give it all to you. 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 eyebrows were full of smiles: "Then... where is my gift?"
Yang Haiyan: "I'll give it to you when I get home." Qin Fang
was looking forward to it.
Han Zhen said outside the donkey cart: "Brother, sister-in-law, give me a ride."
Qin Fang snorted.
Yang Haiyan chuckled.
Uncle Hong waited for Han Zhen to get on the donkey cart and prepared to catch up.
Zhang Baifu sprinted over at the speed of 100 meters: "Wait for me..."
When Lu Baifu came out, the donkey cart was already far away.
The Qin family was naturally very lively tonight, and the dinner was particularly rich. In fact, whether Qin Fang was promoted to the rank of captain today or not, this rich dinner had been prepared. If Qin Fang was promoted, it would be a celebration. If not, it would be an encouragement.
The rich dinner was not only about dishes, Yang Haiyan also prepared two taels of wine for him, not much, just to let him enjoy it, after all, he had to go to the barracks tomorrow.
After dinner, Qin Fang sat there to rest, and a voice sounded at the door: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Qin Fang?"
Qin Fang was startled, and hurriedly got up to ask: "Who is it?" When he saw the person at the door, he was very surprised, "Doctor Wang, why are you here?" The person was the doctor he had asked for on his wedding day when his wife had an accident, so he knew him.
Doctor Wang was in his fifties, looked very kind, and had 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 confused.
Yang Haiyan explained: "You must have fought very hard in the past two days for the selection of the captain of a thousand men. I was worried that you might be injured without knowing it, so I asked a doctor to come and check. Besides, you military generals work hard all year round, and it is easy to have hidden injuries. So it is better to let the doctor check it when you are young, so that if there are hidden injuries, they can be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when you are old, and you will suffer."
Qin Fang listened and looked at her in a hoarse voice: "Yan Yan..." The hoarse voice was a little choked. If he was not a real man, he would be moved and jealous.
Doctor Wang examined Qin Fang's body and prescribed medicine. Qin Fang is still young, and there is no major problem with his body. He does have some hidden injuries from the war two years ago, but they are minor problems and can be cured by taking a few medicines. The main reason is that he is young, and young people recover quickly.
Hearing what Doctor Wang said, Yang Haiyan also breathed a sigh of relief. When she read novels before, she saw that many hidden injuries of generals would become fatal problems when they were old, so she had to be careful. For this reason, she also specifically asked Doctor Wang about the issue of medicinal baths, hoping to improve Qin Fang's physical fitness.
Doctor Wang: "Master Qin's medicine for treating hidden injuries and medicine for medicinal baths can be taken together. Drink the medicine in the morning and take a medicinal bath at night. The effect will be better."
Yang Haiyan: "Thank you, doctor." Doctor Wang's medical skills are still good. He is the most famous doctor in the town. Although it cannot be said that his medical skills are very good, and he cannot be compared with those 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.
Doctor Wang: "You're welcome."
After sending Doctor Wang away, Yang Haiyan was hugged from behind by Qin Fang before she turned around. Qin Fang is tall. Even though Yang Haiyan is 162 cm tall, she can only have the cutest height difference in front of Qin Fang, who is 195 cm tall, and looks particularly petite.
Yang Haiyan was held tightly by him, and could feel the hot breath from his mouth. She said with a smile: "The yard door is not closed yet.
It will be so indecent if someone sees us." Qin Fang didn't say anything, just held 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 most beautiful 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, a marriage granted by the court, it can't be more formal."
Yang Haiyan turned around with his arms around her, and then met his deep and gentle eyes, which seemed to have a vortex, hooking her in. Yang Haiyan stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the chin: "Be good, go take a shower, you still need to boil medicine later." Then she pushed him away when he was not paying attention.
Qin Fang was indeed stunned, because she hadn't kissed him for a long time. But he came back to his senses 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 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: "Okay, I'll go."
When Qin Fang went to take a shower, Doctor Wang's apprentice brought him medicine. Yang Haiyan didn't know how to decoct the medicine, so Aunt Fan was naturally responsible. When Qin Fang came out of the shower, the medicine was not yet decocted, so he went to the room to rest. He was tired these two days and really had no energy.
When he was dazed, Yang Haiyan woke him up and asked him to drink the medicine. After drinking the medicine, Qin Fang woke up again. He remembered something he had overlooked: "Yanyan, you said you would give me a gift, where is the gift?"
Yang Haiyan opened the drawer of the desk, and then took out a small box from it: "Here."
Qin Fang took it and looked at the small box curiously.
Yang Haiyan: "Open it and have a look."
"Yes." Qin Fang opened the box with curiosity and expectation, and saw the man's black jade hair crown and black jade hairpin inside. He took them out reluctantly and even put them on his head unconsciously. "How is it?" When he asked, he was a little embarrassed.
Yang Haiyan: "My husband is so handsome."
Qin Fang was happy and his face was slightly red.
Then, Yang Haiyan talked about the family letter again...
The next day, Sister-in-law Lu and Yang Dahua came to congratulate her.
Sister-in-law Lu: "Haiyan, you will be the wife of a real official in the court in the future, congratulations." Because the people under General Ao have been on duty during the day recently, everyone told their families when they came back at night.
Yang Dahua: "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 Dahua and I grew up together, and the relationship between us is no different from that of others."
The three chatted for a while, and someone else came: "Excuse me, is this the home of Mr. Qin, the captain of the Qin army?"
"Is Mrs. Qin here?"
"Qin..."
One after another, this morning is not over yet, and the wives of several centurions have all come. Speaking of which, Yang Haiyan has been here for almost two months. Some of them are the first time she has seen them, and some of them she has seen in the snack shop. It must be said that it really makes sense that this person's success brings prosperity to all his family members.
Yang Haiyan sent off wave after wave of people, and when she sent them off, she said, "I will treat everyone to tea when the documents from the Ministry of War come down. Everyone must come then." At that time, Qin Fang was the real captain. "
Mrs. Qin invites me, so of course I will come."
When everyone was sent off, Yang Haiyan breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that she was not good at socializing, but that she did not like socializing.
"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 a few days ago, and he didn't return it until just now. Now that I have money, I gave you the five cents for snacks."
Yang Haiyan: "..."
...
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of October, and Qin Fang started to work at night again. Although Qin Fang was promoted to the rank of captain of a thousand men, the Qin family did not celebrate because the documents from the Ministry of War had not come down yet. 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 court had never appointed anyone to the seventh-rank military position because no one wanted it, so they were all selected from the barracks. So for the Ministry of War, there was no difference between selecting someone else and selecting Qin Fang. Besides, Qin Fang was appointed to the position because he won the first place in a fair and square martial arts competition.
On this day, Uncle Hong came back from delivering lunch. As soon as he entered the shop, he said to Yang Haiyan, "Madam, congratulations, madam."
Yang Haiyan: "What are you so happy about?" Seeing Uncle Hong's expression, he was really happy. After all, in the past he would go to collect firewood after delivering lunch, but today he came back without even collecting firewood.
Uncle Hong: "The military document that promoted the lord to the rank of captain has come down." Only those with official ranks can be called lords, so they used to call Qin Fang "grandpa" or "old man", but now they can call him lord.
Upon hearing this, Yang Haiyan's face lit up with joy: "That's really a happy event, are you sure?"
Uncle Hong: "It couldn't be more certain. The lord can't come back, so let me tell my wife the news so that she doesn't worry."
Upon hearing this, Yang Haiyan said: "Aunt Fan, put up a sign outside the shop. Starting tomorrow for three consecutive days, the shop will have an event. Just like the opening, buy a snack worth one penny and get a biscuit for free, and the first twenty will get a biscuit for free. "The first 20 customers can also have a cup of milk tea in the shop."
Aunt Fan: "Okay."
As soon as Aunt Fan put out the sign of the store's event, a passerby came in and asked: "What kind of event is going on in the store today?"
Aunt Fan: "Our boss is having a good time. Starting from tomorrow, we will have an event for three consecutive days. Buy a snack worth one penny and get a cookie for free. The first 20 customers can also have a cup of milk tea in the shop."
"Congratulations, that's great. The boss has a son? Is he pregnant?"
Aunt Fan: "Our master got promoted and became an adult."
"Oh, this is a big happy event, a very big happy event..."
"Shopkeeper, are you having an event today?"
"Shopkeeper, what event are you having this time?"
Soon, everyone nearby knew that the husband of the owner of the Delicious Snack Shop had been promoted. He used to be a centurion, but now he is a thousand-man commander. There is a huge difference between a centurion and a thousand-man commander. To use modern terms, the military barracks is a state unit, a centurion is a contract worker, and a thousand-man commander is a civil servant.
Originally, the Delicious Snack Shop had good business, and other pastry shops were a little jealous, but everyone knew that Qin Fang was from the military barracks. In this town, who dared to mess with military dependents? Now that Qin Fang has become a seventh-rank captain, everyone is even more afraid to make delicious snacks.
After the announcement, Yang Haiyan said, "Aunt Fan, Aunt Hong, it's only noon now, you go make some small cakes and biscuits, and Uncle Hong and I will send them to the master tomorrow so that he can share them with the people below."
Aunt Fan: "Okay. Madam, how many do you want to make?"
Yang Haiyan: "My husband has a thousand people under him, so make more."
Aunt Fan: "Okay."
However, even if they worked for an afternoon, it was not enough for Qin Fang to receive the thousand people to share. So Aunt Fan and Aunt Hong worked all night and worked until the next morning. Fortunately, small cakes and biscuits are very simple to make, just knead the dough. At noon, Yang Haiyan went to the military camp in a donkey cart with several baskets of cakes and biscuits on it.
When Qin Fang came to get his lunch box, he unexpectedly saw his wife: "Why are you here? Did Uncle Hong tell you about the military document?"
Yang Haiyan: "Didn't you ask him to tell you?"
Qin Fang: "I was afraid that you would worry, and I couldn't come back because I was on duty at night this month, so I asked Uncle Hong to tell you first." As he said that, he sat on the donkey cart to eat, "Have you eaten yet?"
Yang Haiyan: "Of course I have. By the way, look." She opened the curtain. Because Qin Fang was eating outside the donkey cart, he couldn't see what was inside. Now that he saw her open the curtain, the four baskets of snacks inside caught his eye.
Qin Fang: "What are you doing?"
Yang Haiyan: "You have been promoted to centurion. I made some snacks for you to distribute to your subordinates to celebrate. Is this appropriate?"
Qin Fang was surprised and said, "Of course, of course. Logically, I should treat everyone to a drink after being promoted, but there are so many people below, and it is not convenient to treat everyone to a drink. This is better. However, I am afraid that they cannot take care of these four baskets. I can just go to the tavern in the town to treat the centurions to dinner and drinks, but more than a thousand soldiers..." This is the custom in the barracks. Whoever gets promoted should treat the whole team to a drink. Qin Fang did not expect that his wife had already prepared it.
Yang Haiyan jumped off the donkey cart and said, "I know these are not enough, there are more in the back, look."
Qin Fang followed him and there were four baskets of snacks in the back of the donkey cart. There was a wooden board at the back, just enough space for them . "Yanyan, thank you."
After Qin Fang finished his meal and carried eight baskets of snacks off the donkey cart, Yang Haiyan went back in the donkey cart.
The milky aroma of the eight baskets of snacks was so strong that the soldiers guarding the gate had itchy noses. One of the soldiers ran over and asked, "Captain Qin, do you need help?"
Qin Fang said, "Thank you."
The soldier said, "You are too polite."
Because of the initiative of one soldier, other soldiers also took the initiative to move things.
Qin Fang and the gatekeeper soldier each carried snacks into the tent, and many soldiers saw it.
"Boss Qin, did you buy so many snacks?" Those who call Qin Fang "Boss Qin" are all the soldiers under him when he was a centurion.
"Captain Qin, are you going to distribute snacks?"
"Boss Qin..."
"Sir Qin..."
At once, many soldiers gathered around.
Qin Fang: "The soldiers of our 18th District have returned to the camp, distribute snacks." The Yongjia Army has 50,000 soldiers, a total of five major districts, and the five major districts are divided into 50 small districts.
Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, more than a thousand soldiers in the 18th district shouted happily.
Han Zhen and his men came over after dinner: "Captain Qin, what are you doing?" Although Han Zhen and Qin Fang are brothers in life and death, and he still calls Qin Fang by his name in private, in the barracks, Han Zhen respectfully calls him "Captain Qin", after all, Qin Fang also needs to establish his authority.
Zhang Baifu: "Is this the snack made by Mrs. Qin?"
Qin Fang: "Come and share it with everyone. This is the snack made by my wife. Please celebrate with the whole team." Hearing his tone, he was full of pride. He was not proud of celebrating his promotion to the rank of captain, but proud that he had such a good wife.
Han Zhen pouted. Qin Fang has really changed. He used to have a cold face and didn't talk. Now he can be heard talking from time to time, and he talks about his wife.
Soon, everyone in the entire barracks knew that District 18 was distributing snacks, which made people in other districts jealous.
"It's so lively here." General Ao and the prince of Yonghe Hou came over.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly saluted: "Meet the prince, meet General Ao." In the entire Yong family army, there was no soldier who didn't know the prince, only soldiers that the prince didn't know.
Yonghe Hou's son: "No need to be polite, I heard that you were distributing snacks here, so I came to join in the fun."
...
Yang Haiyan returned to the snack shop and saw Aunt Fan and Aunt Hong were busy. Aunt Hong wrapped the child in cloth and carried him on her back. Yang Haiyan hurried to greet the guests. 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 everyone knew that there was free milk tea to drink, and they all came to line up early. Unfortunately, there were only twenty people, and very few could drink it. And those who drank it were really happy, because the sweet and fragrant milk tea satisfied their taste buds.
Because the event lasted for three days, there were still many people lining up early the next morning.
Yang Haiyan saw two of the boys and said, "Dawei, Xiaowei, you are here." The two kids also lined up early yesterday and came again today for milk tea. Because they had eaten the glutinous rice balls milk tea on the day of the wine party in September, the two brothers could not forget the taste. So when they knew that there would be an event for three days and the first 20 guests would have glutinous rice balls milk tea, they lined up before dawn.
Lu Dawei: "Auntie, I'll buy a cake for one cent, and my brother will buy a small cookie for one cent."
Yang Haiyan: "Okay, go and make it, and I'll bring it to you later."
Lu Dawei: "Thank you, Auntie."
Yang Haiyan brought a plate over: "Here, a small cake, a small cookie, plus two small cookies given as a gift, and two bowls of glutinous rice ball milk tea. Before drinking the glutinous rice ball milk tea, eat a small cookie to fill your stomach, so that you can drink the small cookie first." "
Lu Dawei: "I know, don't worry, auntie, you said it when we came to eat yesterday, we remember it."
Yang Haiyan: "Dawei is the best." The nutritional value of goat milk is relatively high. If you drink goat milk on an empty stomach, it may cause the protein in the goat milk to 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 small glutinous rice ball milk tea and two cents of snacks." An old woman came in with a little boy. In order to be in the first 20, the old woman and her grandson also worked hard. Because there are two of them, they can queue up on their own behalf, so buying two snacks can get two cups of small glutinous rice ball 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 patronize. Although she only bought two or three cents each time, it was enough for the children to eat as snacks. The son of this auntie was the manager of a restaurant, so the family had no worries about money. Besides, children of this era had few snacks, and her snacks did not contain flavorings or saccharins, which would not affect the health of children. More importantly, they were delicious and cheap, so they were very popular with adults. It was very cost-effective to buy them to appease children.
The old woman: "Thank you, boss." She liked to come and patronize the delicious snacks. On the one hand, they were cheap and delicious, and on the other hand, everyone knew that the boss's man was in the barracks and was an officer, so people felt that things from officers' families were more reassuring.
Yang Haiyan came over with a bowl of milk tea and said the same thing as before: "Auntie, let your grandson eat a snack to fill his stomach before he eats."
The old woman said: "Oh, I know."
"Qin Fang's... Qin Fang's... We are here." Zhang's mother came with her grandson and granddaughter, one to three. She didn't even bother to queue up and went straight into the shop.
Speaking of Zhang's mother, Yang Haiyan has a hard time explaining it. She owed her five cents before, but she didn't pay after a few days. Because it was her first time to pay off a debt, and they say that everything is never more than three times, Yang Haiyan didn't go to ask for it. But on the second day after Qin Fang won the first place in the competition and was selected as a captain of a thousand men, she came to pay it back.
I have to say that Zhang's mother is really a top-notch person.
Yesterday, Zhang's mother also came to line up, but unfortunately she came too late, and the glutinous rice ball milk tea was gone. She came early today, but if she lined up, she wouldn't be in the top 20. But yesterday, Zhang's mother greeted her privately and asked her to leave three bowls for them today. After deducting about 20 bowls, there would be three more bowls, so Yang Haiyan kept them for them. It does not affect the interests of the top 20 people, and it also saves Zhang's mother from embarrassment. Anyway, the extra goat milk will be thrown away if it is not drunk.
Yang Haiyan: "Auntie, come and sit here. How much do you want for snacks?"
Zhang's mother: "I want snacks worth three cents. One cent for me, one cent for my eldest grandson, and one cent for my granddaughter. One cent is for a small cake, and two cents is for a small biscuit."
