Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 5 Delicious but Dumplings
The Jade Rabbit is about to fall, but the Golden Crow has not yet risen.

“呴呴崴…….”

A rooster raised by someone nearby began to crow one after another.

Xu Deyong slept deeply. When he opened his eyes, it was already bright. The sound of grandma rolling out dumpling wrappers could be heard in his ears. He didn't know when grandma got up.

His eyes were unfocused for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and got up from the bed and quickly put on his clothes.

Xu Nanshi glanced at it and said, "The dumplings haven't been wrapped yet. Why did you get up so early? It's cold and you need to sleep for a while."

Xu Deyong breathed in the cold air, put on his clothes and said, "I woke up and couldn't fall asleep. What time is it now?"

Xu Nanshi said: "Who knows what time it is, anyway, the sun hasn't come out yet."

Xu Deyong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his eyes fell on the clock on the cabinet. He walked over and took a look. It was a horse-head clock. He touched it with his hand. Well, he touched a hand of dust.

If this clock can move, it will be worth a lot of money in the future.

Of course, repairing it is worth money now!

Xu Nanshi said: "Don't look at it, it's just a fake, it's broken long ago."

Xu Deyong took the horse-head clock down and said, "Where did this thing come from?"

Xu Nan said angrily: "Your grandfather took it back from outside a few years ago. He said it was paid for the fare. He didn't leave when he got it back. He asked how much it would cost to pay back the repair. He couldn't bear to do it. Leave it alone, this damn old man might as well ask for the fare."

At the end of the sentence, grandma started cursing again.

Xu Deyong pretended not to hear, washed his face, felt something was missing, touched his chin and thought about it, it turned out that he didn't brush his teeth.

There is no toothbrush or toothpaste at home. I have to buy it today. Otherwise, how can I meet the girl if I have a bad taste in my mouth?

However, there should be toothpaste at this time, right?
Go back to the department store and have a look.

Using the water in the basin, Xu Deyong found a rag, washed it, squeezed out the water, and wiped the clock out.

The clock is made entirely of mahogany. There is a crack in the base, which must have been dropped. The pendulum is also lying inside.

He took out the winding key, inserted it and twisted it a few times. From the sound of the sound, the spring should be fine. There was a high probability that there was something wrong with the swing reed and the watch movement.

You should be able to repair it, but the key is that you don’t have the tools!
Xu Nanshi said: "Why are you playing with that thing? Do you still know how to repair it?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Okay, don't look down on me. We'll see."

The blind box has not been opened today, but with a thought, a golden pen appeared in the space.

Hero gold pen!

The gold pen is not really made of gold, but a high-end fountain pen made of gold alloy at the tip and iridium alloy at the tip.

Who wants to have a gold pen to touch his chest at this time? He is a super handsome guy.

The price of a gold pen is not cheap. It costs five or six yuan, which is equivalent to less than half a month's salary of an ordinary worker.

And in the future, a new technique was derived - pen engraving, which is another story.

Keep this thing, it will be quite nice to give to your wife as a token of love in the future.

After opening the blind box, a trace of warmth spread through my body again, but it felt a little weaker than yesterday.

Is this warm current just like taking medicine, and the body still develops resistance?
But he quickly put this problem behind him, which was always a good thing.

Taking advantage of this energy, he went outside and punched and kicked, feeling that he had endless strength.

So I picked up a big stone in the corner and practiced squats.

As long as you have a good waist, you can defeat them all!
When he was sweating from practicing, the door next door opened and closed again.

Xu Deyong smiled and said hello: "Shazhu, you got up very early!"

That smiling look, as if he was the one who beat someone yesterday and won their money.

He Yuzhu's mouth twitched and said: "I want your grandson... I want you to take care of it."

The corner of Xu Deyong's mouth raised and he said, "It depends on whether I have exercised or not. If you don't exercise if I exercise, your strength will become bigger and bigger with me."

"Hmph." He Yuzhu snorted coldly: "Just wait, I will definitely defeat you."

After saying that, he closed the door with a "bang" sound.

Xu Deyong shrugged, he doesn’t know good people’s hearts!

I went back home and wiped my sweat. Grandma had already wrapped half of it.

He washed his hands and went to help.

Xu Nanshi said disgustedly: "You know how to do it? Don't turn around and risk your life."

Xu Deyong spoke with facts, picked up the dumpling wrapper and put the stuffing on it, covered it with both hands, and a dumpling was completed.

However, what was waiting for him was not a compliment from Xu Nanshi, but a complaint: "You brat, why did you put so much stuffing in? You can't finish even one dumpling."

Xu Deyong chuckled and said, "It's delicious with a lot of stuffing."

Xu Nanshi said angrily: "The Man-Han banquet is delicious, why don't you go and eat it? You don't need to make it, you can start eating it!"

Xu Deyong said with a shy face: "It's not enough if I put less food in. I'll finish breakfast and eat early. I'm already hungry."

Xu Nanshi said: "I think you are just free. If you don't have anything to do, why don't you hold a stone and practice something? Why don't you save your energy to pedal three wheels and make money?"

Yes, I can't say anything about this old lady.

Xu Deyong put in half the filling less than before and started to make the dumplings quickly, and the young and old alike quickly finished the dumplings.

The water is already boiling in the pot on the stove, and it's "buzzing", which is described as being like dumplings.

Not to mention they look alike, they are exactly the same!
After boiling it twice, a bowl of cold water stirred it up, and when I opened the pot again, the dumplings were swollen.

Xu Nanshi filled three bowls, but none of them were full.

Pour some vinegar, dip it in, then add a clove of garlic, and the little flavor will come up immediately.

Xu Nanshi said she was full after eating one bowl, and Xu Deyong divided her into five more.

After eating, I had another bowl of dumpling soup. The original soup turned into original food. I patted my belly and enjoyed it!
It was a matter of course to eat well and work. Xu Deyong put on his hat and hung gloves around his neck. Before leaving, he held the clock in his arms and said, "Grandma, I'm leaving."

Xu Nanshi came over and straightened his hat and said, "Why are you holding this thing?"

"Find a place to repair it." Xu Deyong said matter-of-factly. "You have money to repair it," Xu Nan said.

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "I have my own way, so just leave it alone."

He planned to go to the watch shop to borrow tools from others, and he would have to spend some money if he didn't use them.

After that, he continued: "I'm going to the department store later. Grandma, do you have anything to buy?"

"Don't buy anything, and you are not allowed to spend money randomly. I heard that the things inside are very expensive." Xu Nan said with a serious face.

Xu Deyong chuckled and said nonchalantly: "Do you want to buy something to eat at home?"

Xu Nanshi said: "You don't need to, I will buy it myself. You will only pick up the good ones regardless of the price. You little prodigal son, it's only been two days. You can't do what you did before..."

It is inevitable for people to chatter as they get older.

Xu Deyong ran away directly, grabbed the clock and rushed out of the door. At the door, he walked away with a hemp rope made by his grandmother.

When they went out, they met Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu going to work together. Qin Huairu took Xiaobanggan off with them.

Xu Deyong took the initiative to say hello: "Master, Dongxu, go to work."

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Besides, they are all neighbors, so there is no big grudge between them.

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "Well, go to work."

It should not be said that Jia Dongxu looks very upright, he almost catches up with Xu Deyong.

He smiled and said: "Deyong, why are you holding the clock? I remember it was broken. Could it be that you went to a commission store to sell it?"

Xu Deyong said: "Hey, no, I don't plan to find a place to repair it. I don't have the inconvenience of checking the time at home."

Then he said politely: "Would you like to take you for a ride?"

The people of Sijiucheng are very kind.

These words made Yi Zhonghai feel a little embarrassed, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "No, it will delay your making money."

Xiaobanggan stared at the clock in Xu Deyong's arms with curiosity. After all, they didn't have one at home.

Seeing this, Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Little stick stem, I want to touch it."

Xiao BangGeng immediately hid behind Qin Huairu and pulled Qin Huairu's pants with her little hands.

Hey, it’s still fun when kids are young.

Lifting the tricycle out, Xu Deyong fixed the clock on the car with a rope.

The little stickman next to him watched as if he was still alive, and Qin Huairu looked helpless.

Looking at Xiaobangjie's eager eyes, Xu Deyong patted the tricycle lane and said, "I want to come up and sit."

This time Xiaobanggan nodded, looked up at Qin Huairu and said, "Mom."

The pretty daughter-in-law Qin Huairu said a little embarrassedly: "Deyong, I won't cause any trouble to you!"

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you don't mean what you say. It's no trouble if you do something."

"Then thank you, Deyong." Qin Huairu thanked him, and then carried the little stick to the driveway: "Thank you, uncle."

Xiaobanggan said happily: "Thank you, uncle."

Xu Deyong said: "Yes, for this uncle, I will ride with him for a while."

So he went up and rode around on the same spot, but Le's little stick dog couldn't find Bei, and was still reluctant to let go when Qin Huairu took him down.

Xu Deyong was riding a tricycle and said meaningfully: "Sister-in-law, your child will be older when he is three years old and older when he is seven years old. Education is very important, so don't get too used to it."

That sounds fine.

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Indeed."

"Also, let Dongxu pay attention to his health and take it easy." After Xu Deyong finished speaking, he pedaled away on three wheels.

That's all he could say, any more would be spoilers!

He can't say that your husband will die in a few years and your children will be prone to stealing.

Isn't this crazy!

Qin Huairu froze on the spot in a daze, and after a while, two blushes appeared on her pretty face.

Did he hear it at night?
……

Naturally, Xu Deyong didn't know that Qin Huairu wanted to make trouble.

He rode his tricycle directly to Xueru Silk Shop, which had just opened.

I happened to see Chen Xueru stretching in front of the sun at the door. Her body was bulging forward and her legs were long.

Unfortunately, it's all hidden under clothes.

She narrowed her charming eyes and said, "Are you here quite early?"

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "My sister said I want it, but I don't want to be a younger brother."

"Hmph." Chen Xueru snorted softly, glanced at the clock in his car and said, "It's somewhat unlucky for you to bring a broken clock to me early in the morning. I don't want it if you want to sell it to me."

Xu Deyong said: "Sister, if you want to buy it, I won't sell it to you. This clock is broken, so I'm going to borrow tools from a watch shop to repair it."

Chen Xueru raised her eyebrows and said with a hint of surprise: "Borrow it? Do you know how to repair it?"

Xu Deyong said reservedly: "I understand a little bit."

"Virtue." Chen Xueru gave him a charming eye roll.

Xu Deyong's heart was a little fluttering. This woman has always been like this. If you are narcissistic and think she is interested in you, then you are a fool.

For example, Fan Jinyou lost his status as a street cadre.
