The two of them cleaned up the table and the dishes together, Zhou Xing washed the dishes in the kitchen, Qiao Minglang found a set of clean clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
"Where did Ming... people go?"
"Could it be bathing in it?"
When Zhou Xing came out of the kitchen, he didn't see anyone in the living room, but he heard the sound of water in the bathroom, so he knew that someone might be taking a bath in it.He knew that the boy was a bit of a clean freak, and he had to take a shower when he came back from the outside.
Originally, his life alone was a bit rough, but now that the two of them live together, the house is much neater and cleaner than before.
Turn on the TV in the living room and sit down to watch TV.
Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, Zhou Xing was not on the TV, and looked up at the bathroom with the door closed from time to time.
"Crack!"
Not long after, when he heard the sound of the door lock opening, Zhou Xing shifted his gaze from the TV to the door of the bathroom, and saw the boy coming out after taking a shower.
Facing last week's staring at him, Qiao Minglang sat down on the other side of the sofa, wiped his hair with a towel in his hand, and watched the TV that was playing. The two of them just sat here and watched a TV.
After yawning several times in a row, seeing that his hair was almost dry, Qiao Minglang couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to go to sleep, so he stood up and said, "I'm going to sleep for a while."
After throwing down a sentence, he went in the direction of the bedroom.
Seeing the boy go into the bedroom, Zhou Xing was not in the mood to watch TV anymore, he thought TV was not interesting at first.Picking up the remote control and turning off the TV, he followed into the bedroom.
Qiao Minglang was throwing off the quilt and lying on the bed when he saw Zhou Xing coming in and asked, "Have you stopped watching TV, and you want to take a nap?"
"Don't look at it, there's nothing to see." Zhou Xing climbed onto the bed, pressed on the boy's body, fixed his eyes on the boy's face, and finally his eyes fell on the boy's lips, and asked, "Would it be okay for me to kiss you? "
"..." Qiao Minglang was about to say no when someone blocked his mouth.
Zhou Xing gagged the boy's mouth, once he tasted the taste of a boy, he couldn't control himself, not enough, not enough, he wanted more...
Turning his head, Qiao Minglang shouted angrily, "Zhou Xing!"
"You are enough!"
"You're not here these days, I miss you so much." Zhou Xing buried his head on the boy's neck, and smelling the boy's scent, he felt that his wandering heart found a sense of belonging.
"Get up, you've crushed me." Qiao Minglang felt that the person on top of him weighed a thousand catties, half of his body was on top of him.
He raised his head, looked at the young man's face, and his eyes wandered around the young man's eyebrows. It was such a person that made him miss him so much that he couldn't sleep at night.
Zhou Xing leaned over to sneak another kiss on the boy's mouth, then turned over, lifted the quilt covering him, and got in, "We sleep together. During the few days when you are not here, I sleep alone. Don't feel it."
There are two quilts on their bed, but usually only one is used and the other is kicked aside.
"You get out! I wasn't here before, and you didn't sleep alone?" Qiao Minglang pushed the person who got under his quilt, and asked suspiciously: "Did you always come to my side?" sleep?"
Otherwise, why would it be the two of them sleeping in the same bed every time they wake up.
"I'm wronged." Zhou Xing said with a look of injustice, "It's obvious that you came to my side."
"..." Qiao Minglang, forget it, he felt that there was no way to argue with this matter.He didn't sleep well for a few days when he got home, and now lying on the bed, he just wanted to have a good sleep.
It's just that this person hasn't stopped since he lay on the bed, and he keeps teasing and harassing him, either with his hands or his feet, or if they don't move his hands and feet together.
"Minglang, Minglang..." It was hard to wait for the boy to come back, and Zhou Xing couldn't fall asleep just because of the excitement, "It was before, didn't I know you before? After meeting you, my whole world has changed, and I can't live without you."
"You're almost ready to order! If you don't want to sleep, go out." Qiao Minglang pulled away a hand that was wobbling on him, and said angrily, "If you do this again, I'll go back to my cousin's place." Go live."
Originally, he didn't want to continue to live with Zhou Xing. If this person hadn't rushed to pick him up, he might have gone back with his cousin.If Zhou Xing was always like this endlessly, he would rather sleep in the same room with his cousin.
Hearing the young man's threat and knowing that he was not joking, Zhou Xing stopped, not daring to move any more, and promised, "Okay, I'll sleep, I'll sleep."
Glancing at this man, Qiao Minglang turned over, turned his back to Zhou Xing, closed his eyes and continued to sleep on him, determined not to pay attention to this man.
After a while, he felt that the young man beside him had fallen asleep. Zhou Xing probed over to take a look. Seeing that he was really asleep, he could only stare at the ceiling with a pair of big eyes. He felt that this day was very inhuman... …
But the damn thing is, he's still willing to move on!
***
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, their two stores were open for business.
After the year, no one came back to the city, and the store's business was not as good as it was a year ago.However, many hawkers from the farmer's market have come back to do business, and some shops on the street have also opened their doors. The shop they have here is pretty good.
It's just that the business at the new store is a bit bleak.
At this time of the Chinese New Year, many family members are back, and everyone eats at home, so they seldom go out to eat.
Now there are four more people in their store. The business is not too busy at this time. There are enough people in their store, and there are still some surplus. Qiao Minglang mentioned that they make tofu by themselves, "When the time comes, our store will I only use the tofu I make myself, and the extras can be sold at the entrance of the store.”
The tofu they use now is sold outside, which is a little worse than the tofu they make themselves.
Before they had no place, and they didn't have so many people to work with, now they have a surplus of people.Besides, except for a few new arrivals, those who have worked in the store before know how to do things, so they don't need to watch over there every day, and they can arrange people to come out to make tofu.
What's more, there are four more people in their store now, and the business in the store after the next year will not be as good as before. If they want to support so many people, they still have to find a way to make more money.
But now for them, if there are people, there is money, and if they have more people, they can arrange more people to do more things, so Qiao Minglang doesn't think it's bad if there are more people in the store. up.
"This is fine." After hearing what my cousin said, Qiao Mingshan very much agreed with them making tofu by themselves, and said, "There is a small yard over our newly rented house. When the time comes, we can buy a stone mill and the tofu can be sold in Once it’s finished over there, it can be used in the store, and some can be placed at the door of the store to sell.”
There is so much work in making tofu, it doesn't matter if you do more or less, and if you do too much, they can sell it outside, and they can make some money.The cost of tofu is low, and beans are not expensive, it just requires some labor here.
For them, there is not much now, the most is strength.
After discussing with each other, we decided to go to see where we can buy a stone mill first, and then start making tofu after buying the stone mill.
Qiao Mingshan made some inquiries, and that night he pulled a stone mill back from outside.
The next morning, they started making tofu.
Soak the beans the night before, and start grinding the beans to make tofu the next morning. The finished tofu needs to be squeezed out of the water, and it can be used after a while.It's not very far from where I live to the store they open, just ship it there directly.
From this day on, the tofu used in their store has been replaced by their own tofu.
"Boss, the tofu in your house is better than before." A regular customer who often eats in the store finds that the tofu in the bowl tastes a little different from usual. It seems that the tofu is smoother and more delicious. This tofu is more delicious.
"That's right, this is the tofu we made ourselves, and it's the tofu that's on display outside." Qiao Mingshan pointed to the tofu on the outside, and told everyone that these tofu were made by themselves. All these tofu are used in it.
"Oh, this is good."
"How do you sell this tofu?"
The price of tofu is not very expensive, but the tofu they sell in the city must be slightly more expensive than the ones they sell in their hometown.
Qiao Mingshan quoted a price, which was similar to the price sold outside.
Some customers felt delicious after eating the tofu. After eating the noodles, they took a few pieces of tofu with them when they left.On the first day, they didn't make too many other tofu, except that there was enough in the store, and some were sold outside, and they were sold out in one morning.
"It's gone so soon." The customer who wanted to buy tofu later was disappointed when he learned that there was no tofu for sale.
"Haha, today is the first day I'm doing it. I don't know if it's good or not. If everyone likes it, we can do more tomorrow." Qiao Mingshan said.
"Okay, okay, you can make more tomorrow, and I will come over to buy from you tomorrow."
"Go, go, go..."
As the new year passed day by day, the number of people eating in their shop increased day by day. Many foreigners who returned to their hometowns returned to the city to work and do business, and many old acquaintances came back to eat in their shop, so the shop The business here has gradually improved.
There are now a few more people working in the store, and when there are the most customers at noon, they won't be as busy as before...
