One pie was shared among three people. After finishing the meal, Zhang Shu sucked his fingers and expressed his opinion: "Third brother, please try a few more times, otherwise you won't be very skilled..."

"Snapped!"

Zhang Jun slapped him on the head with a big slap and scolded him: "You know how to eat all day long. Even if you only pay four or five cents each, you can still eat it!"

He turned to Zhang Heng and said, "It looks like it shouldn't be difficult. There's no need to keep trying. When I sell it tomorrow, if it's bad, I'll make it again. If it's overcooked, it will be food for us brothers."

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Then let's make the noodles in advance."

Zhang Jun nodded and said, "How much?"

Zhang Heng looked at the small portion of noodles and said, "Let's make them. The noodles are easy to store, and the weather is so cold, so they can be stored for a long time."

Zhang He felt relieved after hearing this, and quickly asked Zhang Heng to guide him in adding water and kneading the noodles. It seemed that he didn't want Zhang Heng to do it, but Zhang Heng was happy and relaxed, and handed over all the tricks to Zhang He. Under his guidance Next, Zhang Jun also makes beautiful noodles.

Zhang Jun packed up the stove and waited until he was ready, then said to Zhang Heng: "Go early tomorrow and get a good seat first. If you are late, you won't have a good seat."

Zhang Heng nodded and said yes.

The three brothers took off their shoes and went to bed. The room was so small that after putting down a large bed, there was only a space the size of a table. The three brothers huddled together. The tattered quilts could not completely block the cold, and naturally they could not completely block it. Locking the foot odor inside, Zhang Heng could only roll his eyes and let himself adapt as soon as possible.

There was a cold wind howling outside, and the three brothers on the bed were warming each other with their body heat. From the moment they left their hometown to this moment, he had a moment of peace in his heart.

After being quiet for a while, Zhang Heng suddenly said: "Brother, second brother, if our business is really successful and we make a lot of money, what will we do with the money?"

Zhang Heng's words immediately aroused heated discussion.

Zhang Shu said excitedly: "If our business can really do well, I will eat two egg-filled pancakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. Oh my god, this egg-filled pancake is so delicious. It is the best I have ever eaten in my life." Something delicious!”

Zhang Xun immediately cursed: "Eating two for one meal... three meals is six, each costs four or five cents, and you have to eat thirty cents a day... What kind of family is ours? We can't stand it." You eat and drink so much, you don’t know how expensive food, rice, oil and salt are!..."

Zhang Shu suddenly withered.

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Brother, what about you?"

Zhang Jun fell into deep thought and said for a while: "...If we really start a business, I should be able to run this stall by myself. You and your second brother will find a husband. You have to start studying. You can strive for flowers." It will take four or five years to pass the Jinshi exam. If our family can produce a Jinshi, our family will be completely prosperous!"

In the darkness, although Zhang Heng could not see Zhang Jun's face, he could hear his yearning from his voice.

However, in his future, he will only have two younger brothers, but not himself.

Zhang Heng was silent for a moment and said, "What about you?"

Zhang Jun smiled in the darkness and said: "If our family can produce a Jinshi, our family will be prosperous. However, just one Jinshi is not enough. We have to produce another one. The so-called eldest brother, I can't slack off yet. Gotta keep making money!”

"What happens after we all become Jinshi?" Zhang Shu suddenly asked.

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "If you all become Jinshi, I will have to earn money for you to get a wife. We have to buy a house. The houses in Bianjing are too expensive. If you don't have a house, you can't get a wife..."

"Brother!" Zhang Heng interrupted him, "I'm asking...where are you?"

The room suddenly became quiet.

After a while, Zhang Jun said: "...At that time, even if I feel relaxed, I will think about what I want to do..."

His voice was choked up: "...then I will be able to tell my parents that I have finally fulfilled their instructions. I have finally raised my two younger brothers to adulthood, and finally trained them to become Jinshi. I have no Live up to their expectations..."

…

Many years later, Zhang Heng still remembered this night.

…

People will be sentimental and ambitious in the dark night, but after the sun rises, all romance will disappear like darkness. What is placed in front of people is still three meals a day and a few taels of silver.

Therefore, early the next morning, the three brothers had already appeared at Daxiangguo Temple.

In fact, there are not many people in Daxiangguo Temple in the early morning. People in Bianjing have a rich nightlife and don't come up early in the morning. Moreover, the weather is so cold, who comes here to blow the cold wind in the early morning.

But the number of people is relatively speaking. There are still a lot of people who like to get up early. Those who do morning exercises, those who do business, those who go to work...There will always be no shortage of people in big cities.

The three brothers had just arrived here to set up their stall and turn on the stove when an old man wandered over and said, "Here are two steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk. Let's take them away."

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Uncle, we don't sell steamed buns and soy milk here, we only sell egg-filled cakes."

The old man frowned: "I am a native of the capital. I have never heard of egg-filled pancakes. Is this a new thing?"

Zhang Heng responded with a smile: "Isn't it true that you can give it a try for five cents each?"

The old man's eyes widened: "Good guy, you are selling gold-inlaid pancakes. One of them costs five cents. A steamed bun is only one cent. Three sesame cakes cost two cents. This thing of yours actually costs five cents. , this is robbery!”

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Uncle, I use good flour and good peanut oil to fill the cakes. The key is, here I will give you an egg worth two cents. You can see when it is fried. Okay, this noodle making is a delicate job. My three brothers worked hard all night to make these fifty noodle cakes. Come on, uncle, you stand and take a look. After you see it, you can tell whether it is worth it or not. "

As Zhang Heng said this, he greased the pan with oil and put the dough inside.

The old man put his hands in his sleeves and stood next to the pot. It was cold and the stove was a little warmer.

He didn't care to see what Zhang Heng could make, but when he saw that the dough had a bulge in the middle, he laughed: "It's interesting, this is a good craft, it is indeed a delicate job, five cents It’s not unfair to spend it.”

Zhang Heng smiled, knocked an egg with one hand but poured the egg liquid into a bowl, sprinkled some chopped green onion and salt, stirred it quickly with chopsticks, then used chopsticks to poke a hole in the bulge of the dough, and used He opened the chopsticks and quickly poured the egg liquid in. After waiting for a while, he quickly turned the dough over, and the rich aroma mixed with the fragrance of the dough and egg suddenly spread out...

The old man twitched his nose, became a little interested, and gave a thumbs up: "Lisuo! That's interesting. Okay, I want this cake!"

He counted five copper coins from his pocket and threw them into the large bowl Zhang Heng prepared to use to collect money, making a beautiful tinkling sound.

Zhang Heng quickly rolled up the cake, wrapped it in the dried lotus leaves he bought at the department store yesterday and handed it to the old man.

The old man quickly caught it and took a bite, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he finished the egg-filled pancake in a few seconds. After eating, he was still a little unsatisfied: "Make three more for me, and take two more for my grandson. "

Zhang Jun and Zhang Shu smiled and said in their hearts: "It's done!"
