Even Tang Ping had planned to take over the building next door to Wangshu Building and turn it into an elderly activity center after the children's playground opened.
When the time comes, we will build a mahjong room for them, get a stereo that can play music, let them dance and do some activities, and get some table tennis, billiards and the like.
In any case, the cultural and entertainment center of Chang'an will be built with Xihe Tower and Wangshu Tower as the center.
When rich people think of spending money, this is the first place they think of.
Just like those modern large shopping malls, there is a one-stop shop for eating, drinking and entertainment. Anyway, it is not a win unless it drains your wallet.
After walking around the Children's Park, I met a newsboy selling newspapers.
"Little brother, come here and give me a newspaper!"
Tang Ping also wanted to see how Datang Weekly was doing now.
Then a child ran over with a red face.
"Yinshan Hou, here it is!" He said and handed the newspaper over with both hands respectfully.
"Do you know me?" Tang Ping asked curiously.
"Yes, the younger one, Yu Xiaosan, was a refugee who came to Chang'an years ago. It was only thanks to the porridge shed of Yinshanhou that he survived. Later, he fell ill once, and it was Yinshanhou who gave me two pills of magic medicine to save his life. ."
As Yu Xiaosan spoke, he dug out of his pocket and actually took out two coins.
"I have always wanted to repay Marquis Yinshan for his great kindness, so I keep the money I earn from selling newspapers except for meals. Please accept Marquis Yinshan."
Tang Ping didn't expect that this child would see a doctor himself, but at that time he saw a lot of such children, and they all had dirty faces and couldn't see clearly, so naturally he couldn't remember Yu Xiaosan. .
Seeing that Yu Xiaosan was still wearing a pair of tattered straw sandals, but she could save such two pieces of money and wanted to give them to herself to repay her kindness, I felt touched.
He took two pieces of money from his hand. There were so many people here and Yu Xiaosan took out the money when he saw Tang Ping was excited.
If Tang Ping didn't answer, even if there were snakes in charge of some underground forces in Chang'an City, he would inevitably be targeted, and he might even be harmed.
So Tang Ping took the money and put it into his purse, and then asked: "Have you ever been able to read?"
Yu Xiaosan nodded: "I recognize 2,061 characters. I learned them all from outside the county government."
He puffed up his chest quite proudly and said, "After I finish my work every day, I will go to the county government office to learn how to read."
Then he pointed at the newspaper and said: "Yinshan Hou, today's newspaper is very interesting. It tells the story of a stone monkey at the end. Unfortunately, there are too few. It only talks about the stone monkey going to an immortal to learn its skills."
Tang Ping looked at the thin child and was about to ask questions when he heard his stomach growling.
"What? You haven't eaten yet?" Tang Ping looked at the time. It was almost two-thirty in the afternoon.
"Hehe!" Yu Xiaosan touched his belly: "I have to make two more trips to sell newspapers. I plan to buy steamed buns after they are sold out."
"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner, and then I'll ask you something."
Yu Xiaosan originally wanted to say no, but seeing Tang Ping's sincere eyes, he could only nod his head and agree.
Next door is the Xihe Building. Naturally, there is no need to queue when Tang Ping brings people here.
He took people directly to the fourth floor.
The ragged Yu Xiaosan followed Tang Ping in a timid manner. A wealthy businessman saw Yu Xiaosan and was about to ask where the little beggar came from and why he was let in.
Then he saw Tang Ping in front and took his words back.
Those who are living in Chang'an City now, whether you are a gangster or a businessman or an official, you all know one thing: don't mess with Tang Ping.
"Okay, sit down!" Seeing that Yu Xiaosan didn't even dare to touch the stool, Tang Ping threatened him and said, "If you don't sit down, how will the waiter in this building clean up? If he doesn't clean up, he will The job might be lost."
Of course this scared him, but Xiaosan believed it and sat down on the stool.
"Go get him a kid's meal that I've been trying out for the past few days!"
In the past few days, Xihelou has been trying to combine various ingredients to make a children's meal for the children's park next door. The cooked food will be eaten by the employees when they eat.
So it was all ready-made and served quickly.
Tang Ping took a look and saw that it was a tomato and meatball rice bowl. Except for a few large meatballs dipped in tomato sauce, the soup was made from shiitake mushrooms.
"This meal is intended for children. Can you try it for me and see if it tastes good? If you have any suggestions for improvement, please tell me."
When Yu Xiaosan saw such big meatballs, he originally planned to refuse them, but thought that he would just ask Tang Ping to give him a bowl of soup cakes.
But I heard that Tang Ping wanted to commit suicide
He asked for help, so he hesitated to pick up the spoon.
After just one bite, Yu Xiaosan, who had tasted ketchup for the first time, fell in love with the sweet and sour taste.
One bite after another, he finished the whole plate of food in no time. If Tang Ping hadn't looked at him with embarrassment, he would have licked all the soup clean.
"How is it?" Tang Ping asked.
"I think these meatballs are a bit too big. Children should like the red sauce on top. If the meatballs are too big, they won't be able to get the flavor of the sauce in the middle."
Originally, Tang Ping was just asking casually, but he didn't expect Yu Xiaosan to actually offer his opinion.
He nodded. The meatballs were made according to Xi Helou's meatballs. Xi Helou only ate them for adults, so it was naturally better to make them smaller for children.
Then he asked with great interest: "Is there any more?"
"And this... seems a little salty."
This also makes sense. Xihelou's cooking skills are impressive, but they have never cooked children's meals, so many things have been ignored by them.
Unexpectedly, when I invited Yu Xiaosan to eat today, I found two faults.
"Give your opinion to the kitchen and ask them to improve." Tang Ping said to the waiter on the side, and then looked at Yu Xiaosan curiously.
Thinking about it at this time, this child is really different. A child can have so much self-control to control himself from spending a penny. He saves the money just to repay himself.
And if most people treat them to a meal, even if the food is defective, they will never mention it in front of themselves.
So the more Tang Ping looked at it, the more he felt that Yu Xiaosan satisfied him.
Tang Ping asked: "How is it? Are you willing to work with me?"
This question made Yu Xiaosan stunned for a moment, and then he said hesitantly: "What can I do to help Yinshanhou?"
Tang Ping smiled. This child was indeed different. If an ordinary child in his situation heard that he could do things with him, he would definitely agree immediately.
But Yu Xiaosan still wanted to ask what he could do.
"There are a lot of things you can do, but you have to study with me for a while first. How about it, are you willing?"
Yu Xiaosan thought for a while, nodded and said, "I am willing."
