Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

After Zhuang Qingming was sent away, Liang's father asked Liang Duodao to go to the county seat and asked him to do two things. One was to ask the business firms that the Liang family was familiar with if they had heard any news outside, and the other was to go to the county seat. "Please" Zhuang Qingze.

The young patriarchs of the Zhuang clan came here in person. If Zhuang Qingze doesn't come, I'm afraid the Zhuang family will not be able to sleep at night thinking about it, but it's not a big deal to let Zhuang Qingze and the others come to the house, but Father Liang has to think about what to say when they come.

Mrs. Zhuang didn't understand what happened, but seeing Liang's father still looking very serious after ordering Liang Duodao, she sat beside him and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

Father Liang didn't want to hide the truth from Mrs. Zhuang, so he just told what happened just now. In fact, he had a suspicious person in his heart, and that was Zhuang Qingze. After all, besides him, who else would say that there was something wrong with the Liang family's wine?

People from the firm?Impossible, they are still waiting to get wine from Liang's house. As for the other winemaking workshops, the Liang's winery is neither big nor small. The big winery doesn't think there is any need to play tricks on the Liang family, and the small winery is not that capable.

So, after hearing Zhuang Qingming's story, Father Liang suspected Zhuang Qingze at that time.

It was indeed Zhuang Qingze who said it. He still thought that the bad clay pots he bought in the Liang family were making wine, so when he went out, he publicized the problem of the Liang family's wine, and waited until the Liang family's wine If the news of a real problem spreads, the reputation of the Liang family will definitely be greatly affected.

Zhuang Qingze calculated the Liang family's property. If the Liang family's winery is not good, it stands to reason that he can't get it right. He can attack the Liang family, and he can tamper with the purchase of clay pots, but there's no need to ruin the reputation of the Liang family.

The reason why he did this was because he found that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to plot against the Liang family, and his resentment towards the Liang family was also growing. When he said these words, he only thought that this would make the Liang family When he is uncomfortable, he is happy.

But how did he know that Liang's father and Liang Kangsheng had already known about his plan, and had already found someone else to buy clay pots. Not only would there be no problems with this year's wine, but the quantity would be [-] to [-] percent more than in previous years.

Mrs. Zhuang has never been in charge of the winery. When Liang's father said that someone was ruining the reputation of the Liang family's winery outside, she suddenly became anxious, but she didn't know what to do. She frowned thinking that she couldn't help It became a ball, and his eyes were full of worry.

Father Liang looked at his wife's brother-in-law who didn't think about it for the time being, and comforted her first: "It's okay, my cousin is talking about Liang's family wine, maybe he doesn't mean us, and there is also a winery named Liang, let's talk about our wine shop. The wine at home is either sold to commercial firms or to nearby restaurants, and will not be sold further afield, so it has no effect on us."

"That's right, that's right, it's definitely not about our family, our winery is doing well, so there won't be any news in the county, and the outside world will spread it first." Seeing that Father Liang was really not worried, Mrs. Zhuang's anxiety eased When it came down, she didn't understand business matters, and she believed that her husband was capable of handling them well, "My cousin is interested, I should have packed more things for him just now."

After this meeting, the Zhuang family became less awed and more intimate with the patriarch of the Zhuang clan. Hearing what Zhuang Qingming said about the family affairs, her thoughts were aroused in her heart.

The Zhuang family grew up in the Zhuang family, and she has feelings for that place. After her parents left, she never went back. In fact, occasionally she would wake up at night and think about it. Unfortunately, she was embarrassed to go back without a reason. She has a cousin. In other words, you can go back in search of space.

Father Liang nodded, seeing that Mrs. Zhuang was no longer obsessed with this matter, he dragged her back to the main courtyard: "I don't know if anyone will come in the afternoon, let's take a rest at noon, I slept too late last night, old people I can't keep up with the energy..."

Mrs. Zhuang was also a little tired after working all morning, so she followed Father Liang's strength and went back to the house to rest.

Quyi didn't take a break, he took Qiaoqin and the cook to pack up the gifts from the villagers while he was free.

When everyone gave them away, they brought them in baskets. There were all kinds of things in the baskets, and if they were all put together, they would be easy to break.

Especially the leafy vegetables are the most unbearable. They will wilt after a day or two when the weather is hot. They need to be sprinkled with water and placed in a cool place. Be careful not to press them too much. Qu Yi also asked the cook to pick some for cooking while they were fresh. into kimchi, sauerkraut.

The rest of the things are more complicated. Some people gave them dried mushrooms, dried fungus and other mountain delicacies they picked on the mountain themselves. Others brought yams dug from the mountain, and even found half a basket of chestnuts, which may have been hidden from last year until now. I'm not willing to eat, these things are not easy to break, just find a place to put them.

A lot of meat was also delivered, such as pig's trotters, pork belly, ribs without shaved meat, chicken, eggs, duck, duck eggs, etc. The live ones were temporarily raised in the outer courtyard, and the meat was bucketed and hung in the well.

When sorting out these things, Qu Yi kept a record, remembering the types and quantities clearly. In two days, when Liang Kangsheng is free, I will hold a running table to thank the villagers. I will use the things that everyone sent as much as possible, otherwise they will be left behind by the Liang family. How can these people eat so much.

Qiaoqin watched Qu Yi memorize a full page of paper, and thumped her sore arm: "Young husband, should we invite people to cook at home for the water banquet, or send these vegetables and meat to the restaurant, and wait for the restaurant to serve you?" Has someone finished it and sent it to us?"

Although Qu Yi didn't move things by himself, he had to keep all these in his mind, and it was also not easy. After writing the last few strokes, he said: "Let the restaurant be ready and the food will be cold early. Please eat." Cold food is not good, what I discussed with my mother is to make it at home when the time comes."

"Create a large courtyard in the outer courtyard to build two temporary stoves, borrow two pots from the restaurant, don't need to prepare stools, use a table to set up a long walk in the courtyard, and the villagers who come over will bring their own bowls and chopsticks. We only need to prepare hot meals in time. Just replace the one on the table, if there is anything to prepare, let me talk to Aunt Qiaoqin first..."

At first, Zhuang's idea was to have a decent banquet, like in a restaurant, setting up tables one by one for everyone to sit down and eat, but after counting the people who would come to Liang's house, Qu Yi felt that it would be too much trouble.

If you really want to set up dozens of tables, you may not be able to hold it. It will take a lot of effort just to prepare such things as tables, chairs, benches, pots, bowls, chopsticks and plates.

In fact, country people don’t pay attention to it, and they don’t necessarily have to sit and eat. It’s the same when you go to someone’s house to eat and you can’t sit down. People you know can still stand together, chatting and laughing just as lively.

But Qu Yi didn't comment when Zhuang Shi said it. He waited for Liang Kangsheng to come back and talked to Liang Kangsheng in private first, asking Liang Kangsheng if it would work.

When Liang Kangsheng was reading miscellaneous books before, he saw that the customs of a certain place were described in the book as Qu Yi said. They held weddings and festivals like this. to discuss.

Naturally, Mrs. Zhuang was not happy with the banquet, she was worried that it would make a mess, and it would be outrageous to ask guests to bring their own bowls and chopsticks.

Liang Kangsheng knew what his mother was thinking, so he talked about the benefits of the flowing water mat, and finally persuaded Mrs. Zhuang. She really didn't want to let him lose what his son wanted to do.

Zhuang didn't know much about how to prepare the flowing water mat that Liang Kangsheng said, so she asked Qu Yi to discuss it. In the end, Mrs. Zhuang himself felt that it was convenient to run a running water banquet, and it would be decent if it was done, so he no longer agreed with his mouth and opposed it in his heart.

After talking about what to prepare for the running water banquet, Quyi wrote down a lot of things on the paper, the most important of which is to go to the pharmacy in advance to buy some medicines that can help digestion, such as hawthorn Huashi pills.

It’s not that he thinks too much, as he was born in a farming family, he knows that some people in the countryside don’t see meat a few times a year. It's time to make a joke.

"There are a lot of things to do in the past two days. These materials are definitely not enough. I will go out to purchase tomorrow, and I will have to work hard for everyone to clean up after the water table is finished. This month's monthly salary will be doubled." Qu Yi saw Qiaoqin and the cook. They all listened carefully, and gave everyone a promise after talking about the things to be prepared.

When the good news that Liang Kangsheng passed the examination as a scholar came to the Liang family, everyone got a bounty, which was given by the Zhuang family when he was happy. Now Qu Yi said that he would pay more monthly money, and everyone who heard it beamed and said that they must work hard.

There is a happy event in the master's family. The people who work in them are not only proud of themselves, but also get more money. Many people are silently thinking in their hearts, hoping that the young master can pass the scholar exam every year.

Put the collected things in good order, let people continue to tidy up the outer courtyard and build the stove, Qu Yi saw that it was still early, and worked together with Qiaoqin and the cook to calculate how much vegetables and meat to buy, the most important thing was to face the folks' running water mat The most important thing is the dishes, so that everyone can eat well, and they will naturally praise the Liang family when they go back.

Here, Qu Yi is busy at home, while Liang Kangsheng and Wei Yang, two newly promoted scholars, are a little embarrassed at the Wenhui. The main reason is that Liang Kangsheng did not expect that there are really so many old scholars who are not noses or eyes to them.

Others said that if you pass the exam at a young age, you will have a bright future, but those old scholars say that it is not good to pass the exam at this age, especially Liang Kangsheng.

Due to the age of the other party, Liang Kangsheng has been holding back and saying nothing. After all, they are too old to hope to pass the exam, so it doesn't matter if they say something bitter. If he and Wei Yang really quarrel with them at the literary meeting , Others will only say that they are wrong, and they will definitely say a word or two behind their backs that they are narrow-minded and arrogant.

However, Liang Kangsheng's forbearance was regarded as a guilty conscience, or that he had no confidence. The old scholars kept talking too much, and they almost had to name them. .
