Chapter 15 Returning with a Load (Part 1)

"Hu Bing, mutton soaked Hu Bing!" A less pure Chinese sounded, and Chen Wanrong looked at him and found that he had arrived in front of the Hu Mansion without realizing it.

A Hu man with a high nose, blue eyes, curly hair, and a beard, stood behind the stove, kneading the dough, and shouted in a not-so-pure Chinese: "Hu Bing, mutton soaked Hu Bing!"

There were more than a dozen hu cakes with thin middle and thick edges on the stove, and a scent of fragrance wafted over, which was very tempting.

My stomach was gluttonous, and Chen Wanrong looked up and saw that the sun was at its peak. I spent a lot of time on Zhang Deming's place. It was already lunch time. It was time to have lunch: "Zairong, let's go eat mutton soaked cakes."

Chen Zairong was originally following Chen Wanrong, but when he heard this, he shook his figure and stopped Chen Wanrong: "Brother, let's buy it quickly and go home to eat it. Lamb soaked cakes are very expensive, three cents a bowl, and most of the meat is half a pound."

Saving is Chen Zairong's character. Otherwise, every time he goes to the school, he will give him a pocket money of 100 cents. He usually doesn't spend money except for eating, unless he has to spend it, he has a surplus of 100 cents. A bowl of mutton soaked with 3 cents a bowl of mutton is very expensive for Chen Zairong, a poor child.

"It's more expensive. You got a good sword today, so I'll treat it as my brother to celebrate. I still have the usual money here. Don't save money for me, just eat as much as I want." Chen Wanrong is also a poor person and understands his ideas very well. However, Chen Wanrong is full of confidence in the future and will earn back the money he spent, so he doesn't have to go hungry to save three cents.

Chen Zairong was a good sword man. He said this to him. He was very happy and hesitated and asked, "What if my father asks, what should I do?"

As the head of a poor family, Chen Laoshi has been in charge of the family for decades and knows the hardships of making money. A bowl of mutton soaked in Hu cakes costs three cents, and two people cost six cents. It is a considerable amount. I will definitely feel distressed when I know this, and it is possible to beat my chest. Chen Zairong cannot ignore it.

"If my father asks, it's true, there's no need to lie to my father." Chen Wanrong has been poor, hard, and rich. He knows that a person's life is poor and rich may not be able to grow old, so he has no intention of hiding Chen Hushi.

Chen Zairong thought for a while and then said, "Brother, if my father scolds people, you will say it is my idea. I got the sword today and was happy and shouted that I wanted my brother to treat him."

He took the responsibility on himself. Chen Wanrong thought that you underestimated me too much. I dare not say anything, but I dared to act and take responsibility. This kind of manliness is still so masculine that you won't take the blame. However, he was very helpful for his maintenance and said, "Let's talk about it then, we'll go to have a meal."

Chen Zairong nodded and let the road open. The two brothers walked shoulder to shoulder to shoulder into the Hu Ren Pavilion. Hu Ren smiled on his face, stretched his right hand wrapped around his face into the room, bowed slightly, and welcomed the guests enthusiastically: "Call, please come inside!"

Chen Wanrong visited foreign restaurants. The waiters said welcome words like "Welcome" were like an old monk chanting scriptures. He was verbally speaking but not attentive. Even if he played it on the radio, he was more beautiful than they said. How could this Hu people say it as enthusiastically? It was as pious as a believer in facing God, making people feel comfortable to listen to it.

"Thank you!" Chen Wanrong thanked politely and thoughtfully.

"Keep, you are our parents of food and clothing, and it is our honor to satisfy you!" Hu Ren's smile became even more sincere.

This sounds more pleasant than welcome words like "Welcome". Chen Wanrong thought that if he had dressed in patched clothes, if he had visited foreign restaurants in modern society, the waiters' eyes would have long looked over his head. However, the Hu people treated themselves as old men and treated them as their parents for food and clothing. They couldn't help but feel proud, their chests were straight, and they suddenly felt proud.

The Hu people said more enthusiastic and more beautiful than clichés like "customers are God". Chen Wanrong couldn't help but think proudly: If you don't come to the Tang Dynasty, you won't know that in the Tang Dynasty, we Chinese are the masters! A poor child like me, his clothes are covered with patches, which are thicker than cowhide. He is actually a popular commodity, and he is more fetish than Americans!

A young man from Hu was quickly walking out of the room. He was sixteen or seventeen years old and wearing a long gown. If he hadn't looked very different from those of the Central Plains, just from his clothes, he would have regarded him as a Chinese and bowed to Chen Wanrong and the other two: "Two guests, please follow me."

He is kind and enthusiastic, and even from the modern etiquette training class, he is just like this. Chen Wanrong smiled slightly and said friendly: "You please first."

Obviously, Chen Wanrong's friendship made the Hu boy feel good, and he smiled friendlyly at Chen Wanrong: "Customer, it is my honor to serve you. I dare not treat you as a petition. If you have any questions, please give me the order." Walking in my head.

It was during the meal that there were many customers in the store, crowded and full. Chen Wanrong frowned and thought that he would have to queue up even when he had eaten. Before he could finish his thoughts, he saw that the diners were eating at four or five tables were moved and they had a seat. Those who had a good meal quickly left the table, and a child hugged them in his arms, and several seats were given up in an instant.

Although giving up the seat is a trivial matter, in Chen Wanrong's eyes, it is a pleasing scenery!

This reminded Chen Wanrong of the scene he had experienced on the bus. Once, when Chen Wanrong took the bus, he gave a seat to an old man. As soon as Chen Wanrong stood up, the old man had not sat down yet, a little girl sat down, put her bag on her knees, and started playing with her cell phone. As if there was no one around, it seemed that the bus was in her living room. She could take whatever she wanted.

Chen Wanrong has eaten outside many times and has encountered many things in giving up seats to others. However, there are only about twenty tables in the Hu people's hall, and four or five tables are available for you at once. The ratio is as high as 20% or 30% Chen Wanrong is the first time he encounters this in his life.

I kept sighing in my heart: The reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to become the center of the world and the land that the Hu people yearned for was not only because of the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty, but also because the people were of high quality, politeness, respect each other, and had the feelings that the people of a great country should have.

"Uncle, please sit here." A tender voice sounded. A little girl on the table beside Chen Wanrong looked at Chen Wanrong with bright eyes and invited him to sit.

The little girl is only five or six years old, with a ponytail, a small bow on her braid, a round face, bright eyes, and super cute. What's even more commendable is that she is so polite at a young age. Chen Wanrong likes it very much at first sight and sat down: "Thank you, little boy."

"Uncle, don't thank you." The little girl had a little shame on her face. She picked up a thin piece of mutton and ate it on her own, with a beautiful and cute posture.

Chen Wanrong looked at her bowl and found it was a small bowl. In addition to the mutton soup soaked in Hubiao, there were also a few thin slices of mutton. Her father was a middle-aged man, and there was only mutton soup soaked in Hubiao, and there was no mutton. He thought that this father really felt sorry for his daughter, and he never forgot to add some mutton to his daughter.

Just as Chen Wanrong looked at the shop, Chen Zairong had already instructed the Hu young man to bring two bowls of mutton soaked Hu pancakes. The Hu young man said, "Customer, please wait." He turned around and left. In a short while, he sent two large bowls of mutton soaked Hu pancakes.

The Hu boy put a bowl in front of the two of them, and then went to greet the other guests. Chen Wanrong saw that this was a sea bowl, full of portions, and even a big belly can fill it. The mutton soup in the bowl was bright in color, rich in soup, and fragrant with the nose. He couldn't help but move his index finger, picking up a piece of Hu cake and putting it into his mouth. It brought saliva to his mouth, and the mouth was full of fragrance, and the taste was great.

It is not inferior to the modern famous Xi'an mutton soaked bun, and it has a bit more rough style of the Hu people. The peppery flavor makes Chen Wanrong feel comfortable. Pepper was introduced to the Middle Earth in the Tang Dynasty and is very popular. The Tang people like to eat pepper.

Just as Chen Wanrong was having a feast, the little girl's voice came: "Uncle, please use it slowly!" Chen Wanrong looked at it and saw the little girl waving goodbye to them.

"Little kid, go slowly." Chen Wanrong would not be rude.

Chen Zairong was also a polite person and waved: "Little sister, there will be a date later!"

Her father hugged the little girl and smiled at Chen Wanrong and the others, "Two, please use it slowly, let's take the lead." With the sound of Chen Wanrong and his brothers leaving, he turned around and left.

After only a while, the father and daughter were eating together at the same table, but the father and daughter were so kind and thoughtful. They did not forget to say hello when they parted, which made Chen Wanrong sigh that China's reputation as a "country of etiquette" was not made, and the etiquette of the people of the Tang Dynasty was even better.

Just as the father and daughter were about to leave the house, the Hu boy hurriedly shouted, "Little sister, please wait." He quickly picked up a fist-sized Hu cake, cut it out with a knife, picked up a few pieces of thin mutton and stuffed it into it, and handed it to the little girl: "Little sister, if you are hungry, just eat a few bites."

The girl's father hurriedly refused: "How can you be so embarrassed? She doesn't even need money to eat, so she will give you another cake before leaving. You are doing business, it's not good."

The Hu boy was very sincere: "Uncle, you don't know anything. This is the rule in our store. Children don't have to pay for meals, and they also need to add a few slices of mutton. Your daughter is so cute, giving her a cake, which is nothing."

Chen Wanrong suddenly realized that no wonder the little girl had mutton in her bowl but her father didn't. It was given by the store. Although this was a means of building relationships and the shrewdness of businessmen, this kind of love for the young is beyond reproach.

The girl's father thought about it and then said, "Then I'll pay you."

The Hu boy hurriedly said, "Uncle, it's not possible. Before the child leaves, we all have to give him a meat pie." He handed the pie to the little girl.

The little girl looked at Hu Bing and did not reach out to pick her up. Her father said, "Xiangxiang, let's go ahead. Thank you brother."

Xiangxiang then took it and smiled sweetly at the Hu boy: "Thank you brother."

The girl's father waved at the Hu boy: "We're leaving."

"Uncle, please leave! Come often in the future!" The young man from Hu saw him off.

The girl's father was very moved: "I must come!" He carried the girl out of the house.

The diners in the store could see this scene clearly and admire it. Chen Wanrong thought that these Wu people really had the means to do business, no wonder the business in the store was so prosperous.

If Hu young men gave cakes like this in modern society, they would have taken it over long ago. If there is a advantage, it would be a waste of money. Chen Wanrong was once again impressed by the different social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty. It might be too much to praise his "no way to pick up the deceased", at least he would not take advantage of others, and it would not be possible to ask others to not accept them.

"If you lose money, you won't lose your baby." Chen Wanrong remembered a slogan for children's products. In modern society, those merchants who make children's products are talking loudly, saying that they can't lose money. In fact, they sell things worth five yuan at 50 or even higher. What's even more annoying is that those unscrupulous merchants even use counterfeit and shoddy products to cheat their children, and melamine is flying all over the sky.

If they knew what Hu Renguan was doing, they would be ashamed!
