After school, Fang Congyun, as he said in the morning, wanted to take Xu Dajun to see the shop.
The two of them left the school together and headed to Shuanggui Lane.
Songlinfang is not far from Shuanggui Lane, but it takes several streets to walk, so the two of them naturally took a car.
Wutong was still writing hard and fast, and the person driving the carriage was a special coachman from the Fang family.
When they arrived at Shuanggui Lane, they got out of the car and walked into the street.
The bluestone street has been swept clean and shiny, with no trace of mud or dust visible. Because there are many people visiting Shuanggui Lane and there is an academy nearby, cars and horses are generally not allowed to pass through this street.
There are also a series of small stalls in front of the shops on both sides of the street, selling steamed buns and buns, candy sellers, sesame seed cakes, etc., etc., with constant shouting and shouting.
At this time, it was also the time when the academy was in session, and most of the people in the crowd were high-spirited scholars.
People are coming and going, rubbing shoulders, and there is no need to give way to cars and horses. Shopping here is a lot of fun.
Xu Dajun looked left and right, thinking about whether to buy a bunch of candied haws to satisfy his craving, but he looked at Fang Congyun beside him and paused.
Fang Congyun's expression remained unchanged, "It's okay, just buy a few more strings."
"Then let's go in and have a look?"
After thinking about it, I took out the bunch again and held it in my hand.
At that moment, the two of them entered the shop. The waiter, who didn't recognize Fang Congyun, came up to greet them to buy snacks. The shopkeeper behind the counter saw Fang Congyun and hurriedly came up to greet him.
Fang Congyun waved his hand to tell him not to be polite, saying that he just came to take a look.
Xu Dajun hummed twice and bit into a candied haws. Hissing, it was so sour that he almost lost his teeth.
This candied haws on a stick is too sour! Forget it, he still won’t eat it.
Xu Dajun was startled by what he said and quickly waved his hand, "No, no, just this one. I think this one is pretty good! Are you really selling it to me? It's settled? Don't you regret it?"
Fang Congyun watched him put one of the candied haws skewers he had eaten into the oil paper bag:...
"So, now that you have decided on the opening date, please remember to tell me so that I can express my gratitude."
Xu Dajun looked up and saw a dim sum shop in front of him, with two front doors and unique decoration. Inside, the waiters were greeting the customers. From the looks of it, it wasn't such a deserted business, right?
If a shopkeeper wants to see his own shop, he can naturally look around it inside and out.
Xu Dajun nodded, "I think the decoration of this shop is in good condition, and there is no need to make any major changes. I just decorate it simply, buy the tables, chairs, and benches, and it's almost ready to open."
After that, he quickly turned around and walked back to the place where the candied haws were sold. He bought ten bunches in one go, carefully wrapped them in oil paper bags, took them back and handed them to Xu Dajun.
"You're welcome, Senior Brother Congyun, you are so polite!" Xu Dajun smiled and said in a change of subject: "Shall I treat you to dinner again? I heard that the restaurant on the street is pretty good, and many students from the academy go there often!"
"That's right, then I'll try it." Xu Dajun pretended to be reluctant and took it, "Why did you buy two skewers? Give them both to me? I can just eat one skewer."
But she secretly made a note in her mind that she likes to eat sour food.
He was stunned, "Senior Brother Congyun, are you sure you will sell this shop to me?"
Xu Dajun: ...One string is not enough, why are you coming again? Are you trying to strangle Xi Xin to death or something like that?
He turned around and said to Xu Dajun: "After today, tomorrow the shop will be cleaned up, and you can let uncle and the others come to look at the decoration."
Fang Congyun glanced at the oil paper bag, then at Xu Dajun, thought for a while, but still didn't say anything.
As for the candied haws, one bunch was given to me, and another bunch was thoughtfully packed in an oil paper bag.
"What's wrong? But you don't like this one?" Fang Congyun said: "I only have this shop in Shuanggui Lane. If you don't like it, do you want to check out other shops? Or there is a teahouse in front, that's mine.
Go and have a look at my grandpa’s shop. If you think it’s good, I’ll tell my grandpa.”
With that said, he took out the banknotes he had brought with him.
Fang Congyun said seriously: "It doesn't matter, there is only one bunch left, let's take it back."
After walking forward for a while, Fang Congyun stopped, pointed to a shop in front of him and said, "Here, this is the shop."
No wonder this kid is staring.
Fang Congyun:...What are you doing this?
Seeing that the naked candied haws was slightly touching the hem of people's clothes when they passed by, Fang Congyun couldn't bear it, so how could he eat it?
In order to prevent Xu Dajun from taking the skewer back to his sister, Fang Congyun simply bumped it inadvertently and knocked it off for him.
Looking at the street, all the people eating candied haws on a stick are children. He is such a big man, and he is really embarrassed to eat it with a stick of candied haws on his head.
Saying this, he let him go and immediately gave him the deed of the house he had brought with him. He also called the shopkeeper to explain, asking them to close the shop today and not make any more snacks tomorrow.
Everyone, including the shopkeeper himself, will go to shopkeeper Song Er tomorrow to arrange work for them.
"Oops!" Xu Dajun yelled, but said regretfully: "It fell to the ground, there's no way to eat it."
Previously, the dividends from hot pot restaurants were all in banknotes, so it was easy to transfer them back and forth.
Okay, he can just take it along to enjoy the food.
Fang Congyun couldn't help but chuckle, "How could he change his mind? It will never happen, don't worry."
"Why don't you eat?"
But Xu Dajun saw his gaze falling on the oil paper bag, and thought in hindsight that the bunch here was for Asarum, so he put the bitten one in and the one for Asarum.
Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to put them together?
After looking around inside and outside, Xu Dajun was even more satisfied. He looked at Fang Congyun and said: "You are the one who wants to sell it to me, so I won't be polite to you! In case you change your mind tomorrow, hurry up and hand it over."
Pay the deed with the money!"
Fang Congyun chuckled: "Once a word is spoken, it's hard to chase it back."
Xu Dajun entered the backyard with his hands behind his back. The backyard was quite large, and because it was specially made for making snacks, the kitchen was also very large. In addition, the warehouse and utility room, including the well, were all complete.
Immediately afterwards, he bought back two bunches of candied haws and handed them to Xu Dajun.
Fang Congyun was thoughtful, glanced at him, told him to stop and wait, then turned around and headed towards the old man selling candied haws.
Fang Congyun chuckled, "Dajun is only thirteen, how can he be considered old?"
Bring back?
Xu Dajun is so blessed that his soul is so blessed. Are you asking him to take it back to Xixin?
Xu Dajun was stunned for a moment and swallowed, "I'm so old, why do I still eat candied haws?"
Xu Dajun waved his hand: "This is too sour. My sister likes it. I will take it back and give it to her!"
Tsk tsk, I didn’t see it, Fang Congyun, tsk tsk.
Fang Congyun glanced at the oil paper bag in his arms and declined: "Next time, it's getting late. Let's go home first."
"Yes, senior brother, do you still have to go back and do your homework?" Xu Dajun nodded and said no more at the moment.
…
After entering the house with a handful of candied haws, Xu Dajun went straight to the backyard. In recent days, Xu Yinyin and Asarum have been making essential oils in the house, so they can find the right one.
Xu Dajun strode into the house and directly gave a bag of candied haws to Xixin, "Take it and eat it."
