Zhang Yun's ancient life

After this back and forth, the business of several thousand taels was negotiated. At that moment, the middle-aged man led the other members of the team back, and the old man said to him: "Da Shun, go to your brother's house." , call your younger brother and younger siblings over, and say that there are guests at home, and ask them to greet you."

"Hey." The man responded and went out, and after a while he led a younger man into the house.

The man carried another kang table in his hand and put it on the kang. A younger woman filled the table with refreshments and went out.

The old man pointed to the two men and introduced to everyone: "This is my eldest son, Sun Long, and that is my youngest son, Sun Hu." Then he said to his sons: "Old Wei, I don't need to introduce any more. The little brothers brought by him are all distinguished guests, so don’t neglect them.”

Sun Hu smiled innocently and said: "How can that be, come on, little brothers, don't stand on the ground, go to the kang, and everyone sits around the table to have tea."

Sun Hu beckoned a group of people to go around the empty kang table, and Sun Long also beckoned them, and they all went to the kang table together.

Zhang Yun took off his shoes, went to Wei Lao and sat cross-legged, and the other team members followed Zhang Yun's action and sat down.

The door curtain opened first, and the woman who should be Sun Hu's wife came in and said, "Father, the meal is ready, my sister-in-law asked me to come over and clear the table." Seeing that he didn't object, he started to pack up the things on the table.

After clearing away all the sundries on the table, the Sun family's sister-in-law brought the prepared meals to the table.

There are not many meals on the table, but eight kinds of dishes, but they are all served in large bowls.Among the dishes, the most eye-catching thing is the red copper hot pot. The red-hot fruit charcoal is filled into the copper pipe, and the soup in the pot is boiling with the scorching temperature.

Stewed sauerkraut, vermicelli, sliced ​​pork belly, vegetarian meatballs, day lily and Northeast specialty wild mushrooms are stewed in the pot.

The lid of the pot was opened, and the fragrance wafted out. Mr. Sun said to everyone: "You are welcome, everyone, eat more."

While talking, he picked up a chopstick of food and put it into Old Wei's bowl, saying, "Brother, you come here once a year, but I boiled the sorghum well, so we won't go home today if we don't get drunk."

The wine was drunk from the setting sun until the moon was in the sky. Zhang Yun led the staggering old Wei and followed the Sun brothers to the east wing. Sun Hu lit the oil lamp and put it on the cabinet next to him and said to Zhang Yun : "Brother Zhang, my wife has packed up all the wing rooms. There are about seven or eight people in this room, so you have to send a few people to follow me to the west wing room. The humble house is shabby, and I have wronged you."

"Look at what Brother Sun said, we are obviously the ones who interrupted you and made you bother so much." Zhang Yun winked at Yuan Bing while speaking, Yuan Bing understood, and immediately pointed out six people and said to Zhang Yun : "Captain, let's just live in the West Wing tonight."

Zhang Yun nodded, turned around and said to Sun Hu, "Brother Hu, please trouble me."

"It's okay, let's chat with you guys, these brothers come with me." Sun Hu greeted them, and led Yuan Bing and the others to the west chamber.

Zhang Yun turned on the oil lamp brighter, scooped some hot water from the pot and poured it into the washbasin, wrung out a wet towel to wipe the face of Wei Lao who had drunk too much wine, and said to the team members next to him: "You put the kang on the bed Come on, tidy up and let's rest."

Those team members listened, turned on the kang, opened the quilt, and began to lay the kang.

Old Wei was a little sober, opened his eyes and looked around in a daze, saw Zhang Yun standing beside him and said to him: "Boy, my mouth is dry, pour me a glass of water."

"Hey." Zhang Yun turned and went out, and walked in with a bowl of warm water after a while.

Elder Wei in the room had already woken up. He took the water from Zhang Yun, lowered his head and drank it in big gulps.

Zhang Yun said to the team members next to him: "There is hot water in the pot, let's wash up and go to bed." Then he took the empty bowl handed over by Wei Lao and put it on the cabinet next to him.

Wei Lao leaned on the corner of the kang and said to Zhang Yun: "Boy Yun, don't worry about me, rest with everyone."

"It's okay, I'm not tired, it's okay to wait." Zhang Yun said

"Ha, you don't have to worry about me anymore, I'll sleep with you too, oh, by the way, you make arrangements and go up the mountain with me tomorrow." Old Wei said, "Up the mountain?" Zhang Yun asked

"Ah, Lao Sun's family is an expert in mountain climbing products. The mountain ginseng from their hands is of the best quality among ginseng of the same level." Wei Lao returned, "I heard that this mountain-growing family doesn't like strangers. People followed into the mountains, shall we follow?" Zhang Yun asked, "Don't worry, I have been friends with Lao Sun for decades, so I still have this little trust, boy, you don't know, the price of mountain ginseng is If you go out of the mountain, you will get 500% more, and you will have to double it when you enter the customs. If we buy the goods we want after they dig out the mountain, we will pay at least [-] taels of silver." Wei Lao said as he took off his clothes, took off his clothes, and took off his long gown Folded it up and placed it next to the pillow, climbed into the bed and prepared to rest, and said to Zhang Yun before going to bed: "You all have some spare money on you, so gather together and bring a few ginseng back home, when the time comes, buy it or keep it for yourself." It’s not in vain to come out with me for a while.”

"Old Wei..." Zhang Yun hesitated.

"What's this, it's so late, go to sleep." Wei Lao ignored Zhang Yun and rolled over to sleep.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun had no choice but to turn off the oil lamp and rest on the kang.
