The reborn brother is not easy to mess with [Chang Tian]

Chapter 97 I Can't, But Xiao Jiu Can

In this life, Zhao Chen didn't know how to draw, but spent money to buy painting tools that were not cheap.

Chen Jiu's attention was diverted all of a sudden, and he no longer felt that it was expensive to spend money to buy brocades for wedding dresses, but instead wondered what Zhao Chen was buying these unnecessary things for.

After Zhao Chen entered the space, seeing him staring at the set of painting tools, he couldn't help laughing, rubbed his head and said, "Don't worry, Xiaojiu, these won't be wasted. I don't know how to draw, but you can!"

"Me?" Chen Jiu was stunned.

When will he be able to paint, why doesn't he know?

"If you don't believe me, come and try it." Zhao Chen smiled and arranged the painting tools one by one, the paint was adjusted, the rice paper was spread out, and the brush specially used for painting was also handed to him.

"But I really don't know how to do it." Chen Jiu panicked and refused to pick up the brush.

"Xiao Jiu, believe me, you really will." Zhao Chen had no choice but to stuff the brush into his hand, and said softly, "Xiao Jiu, try it first, okay?"

"But……"

"No, but Xiaojiu, just paint. I don't blame you if the painting is not good. Just treat it as a gift for me, okay?" Zhao Chen looked into his eyes and said.

The look of anticipation in the eyes of the sweetheart made Chen Jiu unable to say no.

After a while, he pursed his lips and said, "Okay, then I can't draw well, so don't be disgusted."

"Don't worry, Xiaojiu, it's too late for me to like it, why would I dislike it?" Zhao Chen lowered his head and kissed him on the face, "I will like whatever Xiaojiu draws, after all, Xiaojiu gave it to me."

Chen Jiu's heart tightened.

Not only was he not comforted, but he became even more nervous.

Speaking of which, Zhao Chen gave him a lot of things, but he hadn't given him a serious gift yet.

Although I don't know why Zhao Chen thinks he can draw, but since this is the first time Zhao Chen asked him for a gift, he must draw seriously.

Seeing him getting serious, Zhao Chen smiled and said, "It's getting late, and I have to buy things to go back to Shuilian Village, so I'll go out first, and you can draw slowly here."

Chen Jiu nodded.

This person is not watching, he is not so nervous.

Zhao Chen rubbed his head again to show encouragement, and then went out to do some shopping.

Because there are a few more future subordinates, the next thing he wants to buy are quilt mats, rice noodles, meat and eggs, dishes and other things. After buying, he hired a bullock cart to take him and the goods back.

After getting into the bullock cart, he rubbed his arms that were sore from carrying things, and felt that it was very important to have his own carriage.

However, horses are mostly strategic materials these days and are very expensive, and there is no place to put the horse-drawn carriage in the small place he just bought in the county, so he can only put it on hold for now.

Let's wait until we earn more money and change to a big house.

After more than half an hour, the ox cart arrived at the entrance of Shuilian Village.

Chen Fu, Li Wu, Sun Jin's master and servant, and those little beggars must have been bored waiting, and their eyes lit up when they saw him come back.

Especially those little beggars, seeing the bamboo mats and quilts on the bullock cart, their eyes seemed to shine.

Chen Guangren often had to carry firewood from Li Wu's house to the county, and the ox cart could go there directly, so Zhao Chen didn't get off the ox cart, but asked Chen Fu and Li Wu to lead the way, and took the ox cart to Li's house.

Although Sun Jin's master and servant and the few little beggars had already thought that Zhao Chen might not be the rich and powerful man with a lot of money as they thought when they were waiting at the entrance of the village, they actually stopped in front of a house that seemed to be falling down at any time. , still a little unresponsive.

I thought he was a landlord, but he turned out to be just an ordinary farmer?

Seeing their surprise, Zhao Chen said calmly, "The new house hasn't started yet, so you stay here for a few days, and then move when the new house is finished."

It turned out to be the case.

Sun Jin's master and servant breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought that once I was in trouble and became a servant, I had to start from scratch with my master's family.

The little beggars were purely happy. They used to sleep outside at night, and their conditions were much worse than this house. It would be great if they could live in a new house in the future!

Zhao Chen looked at the shy smiles on the children's faces, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

He jumped out of the bullock cart, paid the employment fee, and asked others to wait in the house first, and called Chen Fu and Li Wu to come over and help move things into the house one by one. After the bullock cart drove away, he turned and entered the house.

When the people in the room saw him coming in, they all looked at him.

Zhao Chen didn't say much, and asked Gao Jia directly: "Gao Jia, you know how to cook, right?"

Gao Jia was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, my lord."

"Then wait for you to cook." Zhao Chen said, and then said to Sun Jin, "Sun Jin, you rest first, and I will arrange things for you when you recover."

Sun Jin was taken aback for a moment, then thanked him gratefully.

Zhao Chen said to the little beggars again: "Do you know how much money a cook can earn in a restaurant for a month?"

The little beggars shook their heads.

Not to mention going into a restaurant, even if they entered the county town, they would be kicked out by beggars older than them. They could only beg outside the county town.

"One tael of silver for ordinary restaurants, and two, three, twenty taels or even more for good restaurants. The specific amount depends on how good the craftsmanship is."

Zhao Chen looked at their shocked eyes, and asked again: "Do you know how much the shopkeeper of the restaurant gets paid?"

Before the children could answer, he said again: "It depends on whether you own a restaurant or just be the shopkeeper of a restaurant under someone else's name. I'll tell you about this in detail later. , are all skilled. So, don’t think that Sun Jin Gaojia’s work is different from yours. When you have a skill that you can show off, you can put forward conditions with me. Before that, you all have to be obedient, Do you know?"

The little beggars were ignorant when they were young, but their eyes lit up when they were older.

That means, is this person going to teach them?

They wanted to ask clearly, but seeing Zhao Chen's serious face, they didn't dare to speak, so they just nodded obediently.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhao Chen stopped talking, asked Li Wu to take out brooms, buckets, rags, etc., and said to the little beggars: "You first clean the house with Fuer Xiaowu, and I will take Gao Jia to do it." Meal, I hope you can clean this place before eating, don't be lazy, don't bully others to let others do what you should do. You can say that you are not feeling well, but don't pretend to be sick. I am a doctor. I can see it and understand it. right?"

"I understand!"

Everyone was already hungry and afraid. When they heard that there was something to eat, how could they be lazy?

They all ran to get the tools immediately, and started cleaning under the guidance of Chen Fu and Li Wu.

Zhao Chen turned around and took Gao Jia into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

All the food was moved to the kitchen, Zhao Chen opened the bag containing the food and asked, "What do you cook?"

"I know how to cook home-cooked dishes." Gao Jia gave examples of a few dishes, and said, "My father used to be the chef of the Sun House. I was supposed to take over my father's position, so I learned how to cook a lot of dishes."

Zhao Chen nodded, "Okay, then for the next few days, you will be responsible for cooking for the children."

Gao Jia nodded.

It was not early, Zhao Chen didn't let him cook alone, and he helped in the kitchen himself.

Gao Jia was surprised to see that he could cook, but when he thought about him living in this village, he felt normal again.

After Zhao Chen decided to accept them, he also gave him and Sun Jin three buns each.

After Sun Jin ate two, he couldn't eat anymore, so Gao Jia ate the rest. Now that he has strength, he can cook very quickly.

Zhao Chen could tell from his actions that he was a frequent cook, so he only helped, and let Gao Jia do the cooking and stir-frying.

Gao Jia probably won the true biography of his father who was a cook in the Sun's residence, and the food he cooked was quite good.

Not long after, the aroma of the food wafted out, and the few beggars were even more motivated.

Because of the large number of people, the stomachs of the people who had just been accepted couldn’t handle big fish and meat all at once. Zhao Chen didn’t ask Gao Jia to cook dinner too carefully. Two meat and vegetable dishes and one green vegetable are enough.

Even so, Gao Jia was impressed.

This young man is better than the masters of many big families, and he doesn't feel bad about putting this meat at all.

Fearing that everyone would scramble, Zhao Chen and Gao Jia divided up the food.

Each person has a bowl of porridge, a steamed bun, and a small bowl of vegetables.

After everyone cleaned up, Zhao Chen told them to wash their hands before eating.

Seeing the food distributed to everyone, Sun Jin's master and servant were fine. After all, they came from a rich family. Although they were a little surprised, they didn't show it.

These children started begging at a very young age. Over the years, they no longer know how to use chopsticks, they just grab them with their hands, and pour porridge directly into their mouths, just like drinking water.

Zhao Chen frowned. According to their way of eating, if the porridge was hot, his mouth would be scalded.

He didn't talk too much during the meal, and only called people together after everyone had finished eating.

"Tell me your names first." Zhao Chen said.

Children, you look at me, I look at you, and then one after another:

"Earth dog!"

"Black egg!"

"A cow!"

"Marwa!"

"Little flower!"

Tugou, Aniu, and Mawa are boys, Heidan is a brother, and Xiaohua is a girl.

These children are very ordinary-looking, especially Heidan and Xiaohua. If they were good-looking, they would have been taken to some place by others.

Zhao Chen was speechless for a while, and only asked their ages after a while.

Only the oldest, a 14-year-old Tugou, remembers his age and birthday, while the other children don't remember. The youngest girl even named Xiaohua by herself.

Zhao Chen sighed secretly, his tone softened, and he said, "My surname is Zhao. From now on, you can call me Young Master. From tomorrow onwards, I will have someone teach you how to read and write. After you learn how to change your name, just tell the teacher." , I will handle the identity documents for you after the correction is completed."

Identity documents are equivalent to ID cards, which are used to prove identity at this time.

You can only buy land with identity documents, and many big cities also need identity documents to enter the city.
