Butcher Zhang of Wu Tofu Family

"Please give me two pieces of tofu." The brother looked at it and finally made up his mind.

After hearing this, Wu Zheng cut two pieces of tofu and said to the brother, "Fifteen Wen."

When the guy heard the price, he seemed shocked: "Why is your tofu so expensive here? Even the price on East Street is cheaper than yours."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "The prices here are always the same. A piece of tofu is eight renminbi, and two yuan is fifteen renminbi. My father has been like this since then. I dare to ask for this price. Naturally, I dare to take things that are good for me.”

That brother quietly raised his head and glanced at Wu Zheng. Under the double shadow of the dusk and the shed, he looked a bit bluffing, especially Wu Zheng's burly figure.It seemed a little frightened.But he still insisted on bargaining and said, "Can't it be cheaper?"

Wu Zheng also saw the things in this brother's basket, the tube bones and straw mushrooms, which should be for making soup, and although the fabric of this brother's clothes can be seen to be extraordinary, it can be clearly seen that they have been worn for a long time the old meaning.

Looking at Wu Zheng in this way, he can guess which family's elder brother came out. It should be the Meng family who just moved in. I heard that it used to be a scholarly family. Later, I don't know if it angered the people along the way. It's so embarrassing now, and they all hid here in the end.

After thinking about it, Wu Zheng felt a little sympathetic, and then asked that brother, "Are you Mr. Meng's servant?"

The brother was taken aback, and then replied vigilantly: "No, forget it, fifteen cents is fifteen cents, give me the tofu quickly."

Wu Zheng wrapped the tofu, took the money, and whispered to the man, "You can take this tofu. I was also a student in Mr. Meng's private school back then. Tofu shop, but I still have a lot of admiration for Mr. Meng. If you have anything to do, come to me."

Then he said loudly: "Seeing that this is the first time you come to my store, then I will give you a discount, but it won't work next time. By the way, if you can't finish eating this tofu, remember to put it in the well to dry." Go, or it will break."

As he said that, he refunded the five cents to the brother, and then pushed the green vegetables beside A Shen: "If you bought tofu, why don't you take a look at Tao A Shen's green vegetables, this green vegetables are very delicious."

On the other side, Ah Shen said with a smile: "I said you, Wu Zheng, are pushing, why don't you help push my grass pepper?"

And Tao Ashen retorted while weighing Qingcai: "Needless to say, of course Ah Zheng wanted to help me, and he didn't care about the relationship between our two families. It would be great if Ah Zheng was a man, so my little one would Li will not worry about getting married."

This was heard by the uncle on the opposite side, and the uncle said with a smile: "Your Xiao Li still worries about getting married? I think you are picky, right?"

That brother listened to the discussions of these a-shen and uncles, and couldn't help but look up at Wu Zheng. This guy is actually a brother?He shook his head in disbelief, he thought he was a man, so tall and majestic, but gentle and amiable.

It's a pity.

Thinking about it this way, the brother went back, and tonight he was going to boil out the bones, add some tofu tonight, and put more in the well to dry, it should be fine.

Wu Zheng raised his head and saw the little brother walking away.

Wu Zheng did study in Meng's private school, but you are still in the enlightenment period, and Mr. Meng is indeed Zhang Murui's mentor.

Wu Zheng can't help the Meng family too much, but there are still no problems with small things, not to mention that the rules of the West Street here are different from those of the East Street.

"A Zheng, Ah Zheng?"

In the early morning of the next day, Su Wei's voice came from the door. Wu Zheng looked at the sky and found that it was still early.Lifting the curtain to open the door for Su Wei, he opened the door and asked, "Why did you come so early?" Then he saw Su Wei coming in with a basket on his back.

Su Wei held the pannier behind her back, and then replied, "Didn't we make an agreement yesterday? Going out early will save you from the sun."

"But what are you doing with such a big backpack?" Wu Zheng asked puzzled.

Su Wei smiled, and then put the basket down: "Here are some calming teas taught by the doctor before. I have dried some of them these days. I will go to your mother and father today and plan to take them there. Didn't you say Are you in poor health? These teas calm the nerves and nourish the mind, which is very good for the body."

"...I asked you to go over there to have a rest and have a rest. Why did I ask you to bring things there? That's not acceptable!" Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "You can't do this."

Su Wei pushed away Wu Zheng's hand and said: "To see you, father is to meet the elders. How can you not bring something? Besides, the soothing tea here doesn't cost much money. These medicinal materials are also used by Ayi and I to learn. I went to the mountain to pick it back. So what you said is no good. You took care of us for so long, didn't you let me send you this little bit of care?"

Then Su Wei saw what Wu Zheng was going to say, and made a gesture of booing: "Hurry up and let's go."

Wu Zheng didn't know how to refute Su Wei. In the end, Su Wei grabbed his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, don't talk, what else do you have? I'll help you."

Just like that, Wu Zheng took the things he had prepared and followed Su Wei out.

Queueing out of the city gate, Wu Zheng led Qingtou and asked Qingtou to put Wu Zheng's and Su Wei's baskets on his back: "My house is not far from here, and if you walk fast, you can get there quickly, but there are some places on the road. It's not easy to go."

Su Wei looked around while walking, then took a deep breath and said, "Then let's go quickly, you don't have to worry about me."

The two walked while chatting, and soon saw a large field.

Looking from a distance, egrets fly by in the sky, and occasionally stay on the backs of cattle released to graze there, which looks quite wild.

"I rarely see these in my hometown." Su Wei stared into the distance and said suddenly.

Wu Zheng also stopped in his tracks and followed Su Wei's gaze to look at the past. There was a common pastoral look over there: "Brother Su Wei's home must be in a very large and prosperous place, right?" After saying this, Wu Zheng Zheng thought about it for a moment, he shouldn't have asked this question!

Su Wei shook her head, with a bit of helplessness in her eyes: "Yes, although it is only a town, it is known as the place closest to the imperial power."

Wu Zheng was shocked when he heard this. He guessed that Su Wei's demeanor came from the rich family, but hearing what Su Wei said, it seemed to be more...

Su Wei seemed to have noticed something, and then she turned her head and smiled at Wu Zheng: "It's okay, I have nothing to do with them now. Ah...what did I say these bad things early in the morning, I can see the fields here, then Does that mean it's coming soon?"

Wu Zheng is also a knowledgeable person. Seeing that Su Wei didn't want to mention this matter, he didn't say much, and nodded and said, "We will be there after passing the Qianmo here."

"Then let's go." Su Wei smiled slightly, and then walked forward.

Wu Zheng took Qingtou and walked a few steps, then looked up and shouted, "Brother Su Wei, it's not that way! You're going the wrong way!"

After hearing this, Su Wei touched her head in embarrassment, then turned around and said, "Ah Zheng, you should lead the way."

Speaking of this road, Qingtou is even more familiar than Wu Zheng. A donkey hurriedly walked ahead, Wu Zheng and Su Wei followed behind, only when Qingtou was too excited to walk fast. Pull it up.

"My family lives behind that." Wu Zheng said to Su Wei, and then pointed: "Let's go there."

Wu Zheng saw his mother in front of the courtyard from a long distance, and he didn't know who he was talking to. .

The two quickly walked to the door.

"Ah!" Wu Zheng shouted, but Qingtou's speed was faster than Wu Zheng's.

Ah Zheng of the Wu family was chatting with the neighbor next door, but when he heard the voice, he raised his head and looked over. It was Ah Zheng who had returned.

Ah Mo of the Wu family smiled and apologized to Memo next door before leaving, and then went up to meet him: "Why didn't you ask someone to bring a message first when you came back? Eh? Who is this brother?"

Wu Zheng introduced: "This is Su Wei, my good friend."

Su Wei hurriedly greeted the Wu family's grandma: "Wu's grandma is well."

Wu Ahma took Su Wei's hand, looked him up and down with a smile, and said, "He's a good boy. His surname is Caotousu? That's my surname."

Su Wei smiled shyly: "That's really a fate."

"My Ah Zheng doesn't have many friends, and I rarely see him introducing friends to my house. I didn't expect him to be cheerful and make friends when I left the city." The Wu family's grandma held Su Wei's hand and said.

Wu Zheng led Qingtou, walked into the courtyard and said to Ahma and Su Wei: "Okay, what's the matter, let's talk at the door. It's not good for you to push Brother Su Wei at the door."

Ah Ma Wu laughed when she heard Wu Zheng's words: "Look at how excited I am, come in quickly, isn't it hot on the road? Ah Zheng, there is sour plum soup hanging out in my kitchen, hurry up and drink it."

Wu Zheng found out that Ah Mo seems to like Su Wei very much, is it because Su Wei is good-looking?Without thinking too much, Wu Zheng went to the kitchen and took out sour plum soup.

This sour plum soup is made from Wu family's aunt's unique secret recipe. It tastes refreshing and has a sweet aftertaste.

Wu Zheng brought a bowl to Su Wei, then took out another bowl and drank it happily, then asked, "Where did Dad go?"

The Wu family's grandma sneered: "Your father? He watched his beloved goose cub swimming by the pond at the back. He didn't know what to watch, and he stared at it all day long."

When Wu Zheng saw Ah Mo, he knew that it was Daddy who made Ah Mo angry. Everyone knew Wu Ah Mo's good temper, but...

"Pond? Didn't I see this last time I came here?" Wu Zheng asked suspiciously.

The Wu family's grandma nodded, then glanced at Su Wei and then at Wu Zheng and said, "It was true that you didn't have any when you came last time. Didn't you buy some chicken and duck cubs last time? Your father said he would dig A small puddle was dug in the ground behind the yard, and brothers from the Liu family were invited to help.”

"Dig it out like this?" Su Wei asked curiously.

Wu Zheng shook his head: "Dig a hole in such hot weather? And how troublesome is it to fill the hole after digging?"

The Wu family aunt smiled: "Of course something went wrong. After all, I just wanted to dig a small puddle. Who knows that the luck of the sea is so good. After digging a hole, there is actually a small spring in that place. Then you Dad said, since there are springs, it would be better to dig a bigger pond. He also didn’t want to think about how much water can such a small spring have? His heart is very big.”

No need to go on and say that Wu Zheng also knew it, it must be that Ah Mo was paying close attention, so he didn't dig a big pond.

But this also aroused the curiosity of Wu Zheng and Su Wei.

"Ah..." Wu Zheng smiled obsequiously at the Wu family's Ah Mo: "Can I go and have a look with Brother Su Wei?"

The Wu family's grandma raised her eyebrows: "I didn't say you can't go, but, aren't you tired after walking all the way? You don't need to take a good rest? You didn't tidy up what you brought in the basket? As far as I'm concerned, you You and Su Wei should take a good rest first, the pond will not run away, what are you afraid of?"

Su Wei looked at the conversation between Wu Zheng and the Wu family's aunt, and it was the first time he saw Wu Zheng's childish appearance. Was it because he was in his own home?

The author has something to say:

My aunt tortured me to death. OTZ originally wanted to post it earlier, but it ended up being so hard that it is now TAT

There are two or three things that I fear most in life, and dysmenorrhea is one of them...The next ones are headache and toothache

Catch a Bug in the last chapter, it was called Ah before, but it was written as Ah when I wrote it later

Ama and Amu have the same meaning, but I changed it back at the beginning of this piece. Ahma is unified after all. I will change it later in the last chapter. I am sleepy and go to sleep. Good night, okay?
