Don’t play by the rules

The photo looks...tastier?

That was definitely not a photo of someone. The clerk looked at the casserole in his hand and was stunned for a moment. His tone was a little hesitant and he asked with a bit of uncertainty:

"Are you talking about taking a photo of...this pot...?"

After working together for a long time, this pot is the protagonist today?

When Xu Nan saw the clerk's stunned look, he remembered that he had not communicated well. As a result, the clerk mistakenly thought that she wanted to take a photo, so he explained to the clerk:

"It's not a pot, it's a photo of the rice in the pot."

Fortunately, the shop assistants are all professionally trained, and they quickly came to their senses. After all, they have been in this business for so long, so what kind of people have they never seen before?

The clerk came to his senses and asked Xu Nan:

"What are you taking this photo for? What size do you need? We can give you a reference."

The clerk thought to himself that he couldn't just come over to take a photo on a whim after eating too much.

Taking photos these days is so expensive, and most people are reluctant to even take a family photo, so there must be a reason why Xu Nan came to take photos of the rice in the pot.

At this time, Xu Nan opened the lid of the casserole and said to the clerk:

"It's this clay pot rice. Take a photo of it."

As soon as the lid of the casserole was opened, the entire photo studio was filled with the unique aroma of claypot rice. The clerk holding the casserole swallowed subconsciously.

She seemed a little...hungry.

She looked at the rice in the casserole. The meat and vegetables were evenly mixed, including meat, vegetables and eggs. It looked delicious. She subconsciously asked Xu Nan:

"Where did you buy this rice? It looks very delicious."

Xu Nan smiled after hearing this and said mysteriously to the clerk: "I didn't buy this. I made it myself. It's called claypot rice."

“Clay rice?”

It was a new thing, she had never heard of it.

"Yes, I will set up a stall in the market tomorrow. If you are interested, you can come over and have a taste."

After Xu Nan finished speaking, she turned to look out the door and pointed to the clerk where she usually set up her stall.

"I will set up a stall at that location."

The clerk looked in the direction and immediately nodded and said:

"Then I will definitely come over tomorrow to support you."

God knows how long she's been fed up with that dumpling restaurant across the street, and it's long past time for a change of taste.

At this time, the clerk asked tentatively:

"You want to do business, right? So are you talking about taking photos to make posters? They are the kind of big photos that are used for publicity."

poster?

Xu Nan's eyes lit up after hearing this. Can this store still make posters?

Then can she have sample pictures next time she sets up a stall?

Xu Nan immediately asked the clerk: "How big of a poster can your family make?"

"No matter how big or small it is, you can customize it to your own size!"

…

After returning home, Xu Nan put the casserole on the dining table and tested the temperature with his hands.

Fortunately, the weather is not cold and the rice is still warm. You can eat it when Lu Nanzhou comes back.

After the photos were taken, it took time to develop them. She couldn't get the finished photos that day. The store clerk told her that the photos and posters could be developed as early as tomorrow morning.

Xu Nan glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already half past eleven. According to the usual time, Lu Nanzhou would be home soon.

She went to the kitchen and took out the dishes and chopsticks. After setting them on the dining table, she took out the envelope and stationery she had just bought when passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, and wrote and drew on them.

When Lu Nanzhou arrived home, this was what he saw. When he stepped forward to take a look, he was a little surprised.

In his mind, he remembered that when he first got married, Xu Nan said that he hadn't even finished elementary school.

But now the handwriting that Xu Nan wrote on the paper was neat and elegant, and it looked like he had practiced it for many years.

He frowned in confusion and asked Xu Nan:

"I remember you said before that you didn't even finish elementary school, but your handwriting is very beautiful."

After hearing this, Xu Nan's nerves became tense. She lowered her head and looked at her own words, feeling extremely panicked.

She stretched out her hand to cover her words, but then she thought that this was too obvious and might make Lu Nanzhou more suspicious.

He might as well show it to Lu Nanzhou directly, pretending to be very excited after being praised and said:

"Really! I've been practicing secretly for three years. When I'm at home, I just read the dictionary and learn to read. Now I know a lot of words."

Lu Nanzhou smiled after hearing this, picked up the letter written by Xu Nan, looked at it carefully, and said with seriousness in his tone:

"If you like studying, you can take the Adult College Entrance Examination if you have the opportunity in the future."

After hearing this, Xu Nan immediately shook his head, shaking it like a rattle.

In her previous life, she attended twelve years of compulsory education, then went to university, graduate school, and then a doctorate. Good guy, she spent half her life in school.

She doesn’t want it!

…

Early the next morning, Xu Nan went to the photo studio to pick up the photos taken yesterday and the customized posters.

After returning home, she unfolded the rolled-up poster and was instantly surprised. The poster was printed very well, at least much better than she had imagined, and basically indistinguishable from the real thing.

It also had the words "Clay rice for two yuan a portion" printed on it, which she specifically requested to be added.

Xu Nan first put the photo into the envelope he had written yesterday, then sealed the envelope with glue, affixed a stamp, and prepared to mail it out when he went to set up a stall later.

Then I slowly started to sort out the ingredients for setting up the stall.

She is not in a hurry to set up a stall today because she is selling staple food this time.

People who go to the market usually go after breakfast. If no one is hungry after eating, of course they won't come to buy the claypot rice she sells.

So Xu Nan planned to wait until it was almost noon before going there.

After she loaded all the ingredients and tools she would need into the cart, she pasted the poster on the blackboard for easy placement.

Then wait at home for ten o'clock to arrive.

…

When she arrived at the market, she mailed the letter she had written and then parked the car at its original location.

The old man and the aunt are still selling pancakes, fruits and fried twists there.

Seeing Xu Nan coming over, the old man seemed to be seeing a relative:

"Hey, my dear, I haven't seen this for many days!"

"Isn't that right? The weather has been bad these past few days, so I haven't left the stall."

Xu Nan was sorting out the ingredients while chatting with the old man next door. It was still the same as before. She first propped up the table and then took out the small blackboard. This time the old man next door directly saw the pictures and words on it and said:

"You little girl, you really don't play by the rules!"

Xu Nan responded with a smile.

…

On the other side of the market, Feng Tian was on vacation today. She slept until three o'clock in the morning, and then was picked up from the bed by Feng's mother and went to the market to carry a vegetable basket.

She was carrying a lot of vegetables and fruits in her hands, with an unhappy look on her face, and she was mumbling to Feng's mother:

"Oh, can you please stop buying so many vegetables? My pocket is almost heavy with weight. Besides, this vegetable market is so dirty. Why don't you go to the supply and marketing cooperative opposite to buy it?"

"The vegetables opposite are clean and beautiful, but there are few people buying them. There are so many people here, why do you like to buy vegetables in a place like this!"

Feng Tian frowned, looking at the noisy environment in the market with a look of displeasure on his face.

Feng's mother picked a big, round onion and put it in the bag. When she heard Feng Tian's words, she gave her a big roll of her eyes:

"You also know that there are few people on the other side? Then you don't want to think about the reason! You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you are not a householder. This money is all saved bit by bit."

"Then why don't you mention saving money when you buy bags, cosmetics and clothes?"

"Hey kid, how can it be the same? You should save money on things that shouldn't be saved, but you can't save on things that shouldn't be saved. What you wear when you wear clothes is face. Who knows how much the food you eat is worth?"

The market has a large floating population, and this time period also coincides with the peak period of grocery shopping, so it is simply crowded.

Suddenly, no one knew who accidentally stepped on Feng Tian, ​​causing her to scream in pain.

"Oh, these are my new shoes!"

Feng Tian raised her head angrily to see who had stepped on her, but the person who stepped on her had long since disappeared.

She had nowhere to express her anger, so she had no choice but to kick the pebbles on the soles of her feet far away.

Suddenly, her eyes stopped in one place, and a sneer unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.
