"Boss, do you think I can do this?" On the other side of Niujigou, a group of people are busy building a house. In order to prevent some snakes and insects, they decided to raise the foundation with stones. ten centimeters.

"It's okay." Zheng Bolun went over to take a look, and pulled out a yellowish stone from the pile of stones he had just piled up: "You have to pick out things like this, they can't be used."

"Okay, got it." The man responded readily, and resumed his work.

"Boss, it seems that the stones are not enough, let's find some more."

"Boss, why hasn't today's lunch been delivered?"

"Boss, drink water."

"Boss, when these stones are all laid, let's pour some cement on them, it will be firm."

"Boss, can the doors and windows be made first?"

"Head..."

"Head..."

Ye Qian, who was immersed in his work at the side, felt calluses in his ears when he heard the sound of the boss. Whenever this happened, he would inevitably miss the life in the army a little bit, because when he was in the army, he was in the army. He is the boss of that one-third of an acre of land, and he has the final say on everything.

"You can't build like this. The foundation laid out like this looks neat, but in fact it is not strong at all." But Zheng Bolun refused to let him go.

"Didn't it mean that the cement should be poured again at the end? It's almost enough." Ye Qian disagreed.

"If I say no, then I won't," Zheng Bolun insisted.

"Are you that good?" Ye Qian smiled with a look of beating.

"..." Seeing the other party's provocation, Zheng Bolun didn't get angry. He smiled and said, "Do you know why Lao Zhou has always entrusted me with this kind of work?"

"Because you never talk to him about salary?" Ye Qian said something even worse.

"Oh, no, it's because I'm reliable. But you're right, I really didn't talk to him specifically about salary." Zheng Bolun was quite stable. "Why, are you going to talk to him about salary? I advise you to forget it. It's useless to talk about it."

"You can't do this job, why don't you go out with them to collect stones." After grinding his lips, Zheng Bolun arranged another task for him.

"..." Ye Qian rubbed his nose and had no choice but to look for a stone. There was no other way, it was up to others in terms of land boundaries.

Originally, I thought this matter would end here, but I didn't expect that a strange rumor would soon spread in Niuwangzhuang: I heard that the soldier brother who just arrived planned to talk to Lao Zhou about his salary.

The news was first brought back to the courtyard by the person who delivered the meal at noon, but it changed after it was passed on. It was said that Ye Qian was going to talk to Lao Zhou about his salary. Lively, the landlord meets the soldier, who will win in the end.

When eating that night, Ye Qian met Lao Zhou in the cafeteria, and Lao Zhou patted him on the shoulder and asked, "I heard that you plan to talk to me about salary?"

"No." Ye Qian denied it in one gulp.

After staying in the army for so many years, he is not completely careless. He still understands the principle of shooting the top bird. Generally, as long as you don’t push him into a hurry, you don’t want to call him the top. Especially now that he is not Knowing the situation of Niuwangzhuang, there is no harm in keeping a low profile.

"Really?" Lao Zhou asked again.

"Hi, really not." Ye Qian said calmly.

"Okay, you can eat." Lao Zhou nodded regretfully. He originally wanted to chat with this guy about how much money he would have to eat for this meal, but it seemed that he had no chance for the time being.

"..." Ye Qian found a seat and sat down, burying his head in cooking. He didn't talk to Lao Zhou about his salary. Just by hearing his nickname, he should know how much this guy is deducted. The lower the salary, the lower it is. He can also seek compensation from other places.

In the evening, when everyone finished their meal and went to wash and rest, Ye Qian went to find Fatty Hou.

"Fatty, can you make snakes?" Ye Qian also knows how to make snakes, but he has been in Niuwangzhuang for these days, and he also knows that Fatty is good at making snakes. The snakes he made are definitely better than those he made. It tastes several times better.

"Why, you didn't catch the two thousand five, did you?" When talking about snakes, Hou Fatty naturally thought of the two thousand five.

There are quite a few people who pay attention to that snake, but everyone knows that it is a domestic snake of the old Zhou family, and it is so big, if it is entangled, it is not a joke. Even for the sake of their own safety, no one has really touched it, except for Liu Ruhua that time.

This time, Rose, the new soldier at their Niuwangzhuang, looks like a master who is not afraid of trouble. Fatty Hou is really afraid that he will kill two thousand and five. That is Lao Zhou's heart, how much he eats all year round As for mice, the most rare thing is that they don't eat chickens, pigeons, or stone frogs either.

"Why do I have nothing to do with it?" When he was taken aback?A snake as big as two thousand and five is almost mature, and it doesn't look too stupid. If you really want to fight for your life, it's not a joke.

"Oh, it's not two thousand and five." If it's not two thousand and five, it can be eaten. Hunting is not allowed in Niuwangzhuang, except for snakes, because Lao Zhou has raised many stone frogs. Snakes and stone frogs are the same Natural Enemy: "Snakes are the most nourishing thing, and the stewed soup is good, but I still prefer to eat it stir-fried, and a few drinks, tsk tsk."

"That's fine, then stir-fry it." Ye Qian is also willing to stir-fry it.

"Where is the snake? Show me it." Fatty Hou urged.

"It's right here." Ye Qian mentioned a denim shirt that he had put on the back of the chair and shook it. Only then did Hou Fatty see that one of the sleeves of his denim shirt was tied up at both ends. Take a closer look. You can also see something wriggling inside.

"Still alive?" Fatty Hou's eyes lit up.

"It must be alive." Ye Qian looked down on dead snakes at all.

"Okay buddies." With this buddy staying on your website, Fatty Hou felt that he would probably have no shortage of snake meat in the future. At this moment, he only felt that the two of them really hit each other very well, and it was as if they hated seeing each other so late.

"Let's tidy up here?" Ye Qian went to untie the rope on the cuff of the shirt.

"Wait, I'll close the door first." Fatty Hou hurried to close the door.

"Fatty Hou, what are you doing closing the door?" At this time, Chen Jianhua came down from upstairs with his slippers on, planning to go outside to enjoy the cool air. When he saw that Fatty Hou was going to close the door of the cafeteria, but he didn't come out, he knew that it was probably a mess. It's time to fix something delicious.

"I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything." Fatty Hou said and was about to close the door.

"Don't tell me." Chen Jianhua ran over and blocked the door in two or three steps. Since he was caught up in this matter, how could he not get involved? "Count me in, I won't eat yours for nothing, I'll go buy a watermelon."

"?" Fatty Hou turned to look at Ye Qian and asked for his opinion.

"Okay." Ye Qianjue thought it would be nice to add another watermelon. Anyway, there are still a lot of snakes on the mountain, and he can catch them another day. Let's eat less this time.

Steward Chen looked inside and saw Ye Qian standing there holding a live snake, which made him happy: "Just wait, I'll go buy it right away."

Chen Guanshi went to buy watermelons, Hou Fatty called Liu Ruhua again, but when the two of them came, they were followed by a group. There is no secret in this courtyard, especially for the permanent residents like them. .

"What did I think it was? It turned out to be a snake."

"This amount of meat is not enough for everyone, let's go to Luo Jingliang's food stall to get some dishes."

"I want to eat dumplings. I'm going to the town to buy some dumplings."

"You want to eat dumplings not long after dinner?"

"No way, I just love to eat."

"Buy more, I want to eat too."

"I want to eat too."

"Then what, do you want another plate of dried tofu?"

"Where's the wine? Which of you still has wine?"

"..." As soon as the wine was mentioned, no one spoke.

"Not at all, so what's the matter?"

"Fatty, you should still have some?"

"Not much, how can there be enough for so many people to drink?"

"Don't bully Fatty Hou, he just doesn't care about cooking."

"What about you Xiaoliu? Fatty Hou also took care of your share?"

"I make crayfish."

"This is good, buy more."

"So many delicious dishes, it's a pity that there is no wine."

"Why don't you get some ordinary white wine?"

"Isn't that a waste of good food?"

"Just say you want to drink good wine."

"Why don't we invite Lao Zhou over?" Chen Jianhua spoke at this moment.

"..." Everyone paused for a moment, and then quickly came to their senses.

"Sure enough, Manager Chen has the best way!" These people repeatedly put a high hat on Chen Jianhua to indulge him.

"How about he is in charge?"

"Come on, Manager Chen, you have to make this call."

"Let's draw lots." Chen Jianhua was not fooled by them.

"Drawing lots... drawing lots is fine too!"

"All right, draw lots."

"Where is the toothpick, where is the toothpick?"

"Let's agree, just a short stick, and the others are long sticks. Whoever gets a short stick will call Lao Zhou."

"That's the deal, whoever gets the short stick in a while, don't play tricks."

"Hurry up and start."

So a group of people began to draw lots, and the person in charge of holding toothpicks was Zheng Bolun. Everyone took a toothpick from him, and Ye Qian also took a toothpick from him. It is long, only the one in Ye Qian's hand is short.

"..." Ye Qian looked at the people present, and he doubted the fairness of this lottery.

"Okay, Rose, it seems that you still have to make this call."

"It just so happens that you caught this snake too."

"You don't have Lao Zhou's number in your cell phone, do you? Use mine to make a call."

"Let's go shopping in town first."

"Let's go."

After a while, these people dispersed, leaving only Fatty Hou, Ye Qian, and Chen Jianhua who just bought watermelon in the cafeteria.

Ye Qian held Chen Jianhua's mobile phone, scratched his hair in frustration, and finally pressed the dial button.

"Hello." Lao Zhou was obviously in a good mood at the moment, his voice was loud and hearty, if you listen carefully, you can also hear the sound of cartoons playing on their side.

"I caught a snake on the mountain today, and they asked me to call you over to eat the snake meat together." Ye Qian said bravely.

"They? Who are they?" Lao Zhou quickly grasped the point.

"Basically everything is here." Ye Qian said.

"Then why did you call me?" What about Chen Jianhua and the others?How familiar are these people with Lao Zhou? Don't they always ask acquaintances to call when they call for food and drink?If they refused to call Romon, there must be a problem. As for why Ye Qianlai made the call——

"You don't want to play lottery with them, do you?" No matter how you hear Lao Zhou's voice, there is a bit of schadenfreude.

"..." Ye Qian.
