Traveling through ancient times, I married an ugly brother

In a blink of an eye, the Shen family has moved into a new house, and today is the day for the Shen family to hold a housewarming ceremony.

"Congratulations, Big Brother Shen, happy housewarming~!" Second Uncle Shen next door cupped his hands in congratulations.

"Haha, thank you very much, please come inside, please come inside." Today is the Shen family's housewarming banquet, which is in the second courtyard of the new house.

From the courtyard gate to the inner courtyard to the final back room, the ground is paved with square blue bricks. The four corners of the inner courtyard at the second entrance are tree altars surrounded by cobblestones, in which jujube trees and pear tree.

The grape trellis was not planted in the middle, because the whole yard is too big, and it would be nondescript to have a grape trellis in the middle, so we simply chose to build a simple corridor between the two adjacent trees on the east side, and picked the grape trellises in the corridor. top.

The folks from the village came over one after another to say congratulations, some of them would come to the door with gifts, some of them didn't take anything, and the Shen family didn't care.

At this time, there was a sudden noise at the door.

"Hey, who is this? Isn't this the one from the Jiang family?"

"It's really her, oh, the whole family is here."

Why did this family come here? They are so shameless. When they married my elder brother, I heard that they asked for ten taels of silver. "

"No, isn't this selling your son?"

"Who said no? How dare you come here? I think it's just because Brother Liu is easy to bully."

"Tsk tsk tsk, black heart."

A group of people came, none other than Jiang Liu's natal family. The whole family was together, and there was no one missing.

The Shen family also saw it, but they didn't say anything. The sister-in-law went over and arranged a table for them so that they could take care of themselves.

When Jiang Liu got married back then, none of her natal family came

It means breaking off the relationship, and after accepting the dowry, Jiang Liu will be a member of the Shen family from now on.

But which show is it playing today?

But no matter what they want to do, what purpose they have, today is a day of great joy, and I don't bother to care about them.

From afar came the clatter of horseshoes.

Zhang Hu and Zhang Fei were receiving guests at the gate of the courtyard. When they heard the noise, they looked towards where the sound came from.

The carriage was getting closer and closer, and it stopped when it reached the gate of the courtyard. First, a servant jumped out of the carriage, and then the servant raised the curtain of the carriage, and a man came down from it. These men were Zhang Hu and Zhang Fei. Although he had never seen it before, he also knew that the visitor was a guest, so he hurriedly greeted and led him in while the other ran to find Shen Changjun.

"Fifth Young Master, there is a carriage at the door." He didn't keep his voice down, he ran in and said hurriedly before standing still

People in the yard heard that there was a carriage, and they were all curious and anxious. The carriage, I heard that this horse is very expensive, and those who have no skills can't afford it.

The people in the yard were talking about it, guessing the identity of the person who came, and what's more, some people ran out of the yard to watch the excitement.

After Shen Changjun heard it, he nodded to show that he knew, and walked towards the door, while guessing who the visitor was, but he could guess the identity of the visitor to some extent.

Sure enough, if it wasn't Chu Zhaolin, whoever it was, the two of them hadn't seen each other since the last time they had settled on the matter of Bing, and the servants would come over to spread the word if they had anything to do.

Shen Changjun clapped his hands with a busy smile and said: Brother Chu, it would be impolite to welcome you from a distance, and your presence really makes the humble house shine! "

Chu Zhaolin also smiled and said, "My dear brother, you didn't tell your brother about such a big happy event in your family. Are you cheating on me?"

"Don't dare, you are a noble person, so I don't want to bother you with such trivial matters."

The two of them entered the inner courtyard while they were talking, the people in the inner courtyard stopped discussing and looked at the person who came, this person was either rich or noble, he had a lot of background.

The seats next to it were already full, and even if there were, it was impossible to arrange Chu Zhaolin to sit there, but there were still a few vacant seats at the main table. There were village chiefs, clan elders, and other respected people in the village sitting on the table. Shen Beimin didn't come.

Shen Changjun invited Chu Zhaolin to the main table, and he himself accompanied him at the main table. The people on the table were a bit cautious, all of them were country mud legs. Where had he seen such a person of status, although Chu Zhaolin behaved very Approachable, but no matter how you look at it, it is out of place.

Chu Zhaolin turned his head and motioned, the servant hurried over and put the two boxes in front of Shen Changjun

These two boxes fell together, the bottom box was about two feet long and one foot wide, and the top box was half of the bottom box. When Shen Changjun took it, he still felt quite heavy.

He didn't open it right away, but gave it to Jiang Liu beside him, then turned around and said, "Brother Chu will spend the money."

"Wherever it is, this is what the virtuous brother deserves."

Shen Changjun rolled his eyes when he heard this, and understood that it might be the bonus of nitric acid, so he was not polite anymore.

Now that Chu Zhaolin is here, there is no longer any delay, and he starts to take the food.

All kinds of delicacies were served, such as braised hoof knuckle, sauced elbow, braised eggplant, braised pork, stewed pork ribs, spicy chicken diced, vinegar potato shreds, candied sweet potato, cucumber, assorted soup, a total of ten dishes, served with White flour steamed buns and white rice, each of which is full.

Wherever the people in the village have seen this battle, they are all dumbfounded. This, this is really willing. Who has never set up a banquet, and who has never eaten a banquet, but where have they seen such a heroic, half of the table? There are not only meat dishes, but even the staple food is that precious thing, tsk tsk, if you put this in your own home and make the meat into bacon, it will be enough to eat until the end of the year.

But when I think about it, I am surprised, but my mouth is not idle. A group of people are eating nonsense, and there are no more people chatting and talking nonsense. The yard can only hear the sound of chewing.

Chu Zhaolin didn't eat much, not because he couldn't eat, but because he couldn't grab it. After all, he had been the boss for many years, and some habits had already been formed. Incomparable.

Before eating a few chopsticks, the plate bottomed out. The people on the table didn't feel it when they ate, but they felt a little stuffed after they stopped. When they looked up, they saw Chu Zhaolin holding chopsticks at the side, and they remembered , There is another noble person here, everyone grinned apologetically.

Chu Zhaolin simply put down his chopsticks. After all, he is a person of status, so he doesn't care about these things.

Shen Changjun sat on the sidelines but was very embarrassed. He really didn't expect Chu Zhaolin to come over today, otherwise he would have to prepare another table, but they are already here, so they must be arranged. He must sit at another table Not suitable, it can only be arranged at the main table.

You said that the people at the main table are the cadres of the village no matter what, how come they eat like bandits, and there are foreign guests here, how embarrassing.

The villagers were very satisfied with this meal. Chu Zhaolin didn't leave after the individual guests. Every dish tasted very good today. Although he didn't eat a few bites, he still tasted everything

Shen Changjun invited Chu Zhaolin into the living room, which was decorated in a modern and simple style by Shen Changjun.

When you walk in the door, you will be faced with tatami mats covered with bamboo mats, on which there is a short square table with tea sets on it.

There is a solid wood sofa and a solid wood coffee table on the left side of the door. The sofa is covered with thick satin sofa cushions, and there is a chaise longue on the side, where you can lie down and rest.

There is a row of antique shelves on the wall on the other side opposite to the sofa, and a large desk is placed not far in front.

On the right side of the entrance, there is a one-meter shoe rack against the wall, and inside the shoe rack are bamboo slippers.

The floor of the living room is covered with solid wood floors.

After Chu Zhaolin entered, he was attracted by everything here.

He never knew that a living room could look like this, which completely broke his previous cognition.

Everything here is strange to him, but it makes him feel that it should be like this.

He felt that Shen Changjun was really a wonderful person. They didn't know how many fresh goods he had in his head. He could say with certainty that there must be a lot more.

Chu Zhaolin sat down on the sofa, the thick cushions were very comfortable to sit on, Shen Changjun also chose a seat to sit down, Jiang Liu followed behind him with the box in his arms, and put the box on the coffee table after entering.

Zhang Hu brewed tea and brought it in. This tea was specially prepared by Shen Changjun, and all the teas he bought were of the best quality here, just in case there were noble people coming and there was nothing to entertain them, for fear of neglecting the distinguished guests.

Zhang Hu put down the tea set and went out. Shen Changjun first opened the top box, hey, several golden lights flashed, he didn't expect that there was gold inside.

In the Great Jin Dynasty, 1 tael of gold was equal to 10 taels of silver.

There are a total of 30 taels of gold in this box, divided into upper and lower layers, and 1 taels of gold are placed in each layer of 15.

Shen Changjun opened another box, which contained silver, and there were two layers, 10 taels of silver ingots, 20 on each layer, and an account book was placed on it.

Shen Changjun picked up the account book and looked at it. The account book was very clear. He got 30 taels of gold and 400 taels of silver this time.

[-]% of the bonus is already a lot, not to mention that this is only the first month's bonus.

"Thank you, Brother Chu.

"Brother, you don't need to be so polite."

The two chatted while drinking tea, Chu Zhaolin said: "My brother's banquet today is really well organized."

"Brother Chu has won the prize, but it's just some home-cooked food."

"I ate one of them. The spicy taste is similar to that of spicy potato chips. I don't know if it's the same thing."

Shen Changjun thought in his heart: He really has a golden tongue.

He didn't hide it either, and said, "Yes, brother Chu, it's indeed the same seasoning."

Chu Zhaolin nodded and said, "I don't know what the name of that dish is?"

Shen Changjun said: "The name of that dish is spicy chicken."

"Spicy Chicken Ding, yes, the image of the name." Chu Zhaolin nodded, and then said with a smile: "Your brother has kept this seasoning tightly enough, it has been a long time. I have never seen its true face."

Shen Changjun rubbed his nose guilty, and said: "It's not impossible to tell you, but you have to promise me that you can't leak this seasoning." Shen Changjun was not polite to him either, and he did it when it was time to do it.

"It's natural, don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret, and it won't do me any good to leak it out." Chu Zhaolin assured.

Shen Changjun nodded and said, "Then you wait, I'll get it for you."

There were only Chu Zhaolin and Shen Changjun in the room, and Jiang Liu had already left, so he had to go get it himself.

After grabbing the dried red peppers at home, I went back to the living room and put them on the coffee table

"Here, this is it, red pepper." Shen Changjun said.

Chu Zhaolin picked up one of them and looked at it. It was red and curved like a crescent moon, and it looked like a red lantern when viewed from a distance. It turned out that it was a red pepper.

The two discussed a deal with the red pepper, and finally decided that Chu Zhaolin would give Shen Changjun 100 taels of silver, which could be regarded as the information fee for the red pepper.

Shen Changjun gave Chu Zhaolin two recipes for free, one of which was spicy chicken and the other was boiled pork slices.

In the future, you can use red peppers for food, and if you make any profit, you will own all of them. If you still want to buy red peppers from the Shen family, you can just buy them with money, but there is an additional condition, that is, the two companies cannot do the same thing. Kind of food.

For example, if Shen Changjun has researched a new signature dish that needs to use chili peppers, Haokelou cannot cook the same food as him without the consent of Shen Changjun himself.

Of course, the signature dish made by Shen Changjun must also be something that Hao Ke Lou does not currently have.

Chu Zhaolin also agrees with this additional condition. Those who do business, especially the catering business, have their own signature dishes. Not to mention anything else, just talk about the relationship between the two, especially Chu Zhaolin wants to make friends with Shen Changjun. I won't touch this mold anymore.

The two of them wrote the agreement, sealed it and signed it.
