The husband's son-in-law

Li Da was driving the mule cart, asking questions as he walked, and at one point he went the wrong way, which took him almost a day to get to Yanjia Village, which was farther than going from Xiping Village to Fuxian County.

It can be regarded as arrived.

"Excuse me, is this Yanjia Village?" Li Da jumped off the mule cart and asked the villagers.

The villagers of Yan's Village saw that Li Da's face was strange, and his accent was not from the local area, so they couldn't help but look at Li's strong body, and replied honestly, "Yes, who are you looking for?"

"Look for Yan Xiucai, where is his house, please brother to show me the way."

The villagers pointed the way, and waited for the shadow of Li Da's mule cart to look away before turning their eyes away, and talking to other people in the village, someone drove the mule cart with things to the door to look for Yan Xiucai. Tall and older man, the mouth of the sack was tied tightly, and he didn't know what was in it.

Someone made an appointment to go to Yan's house to have a look.

Yan's house has no courtyard walls, four tiled yellow mud main houses and two side houses. The yard is open and wide, and the wheat eaten by the family is pulled out and dried in the sun.Yan's family members do their own things, Grandma Yan cleans up pots and bowls in the kitchen, Father Yan chops firewood, Mother Yan feeds chickens and pigs in the backyard, and piles up dung aside.

What did the son say to make fertilizer for dry fields, so let’s save it.

Li Da drove the mule cart to the gate of Yan's house. Seeing the man chopping firewood in the yard, he guessed it was Yan's father, so he politely got out of the car and shouted at the entrance of the yard, "But Yan Jinxin's family?"

"...Yes, yes." Yan's father put the ax on the ground, and his reply was a little slow. Seeing that there was a stranger at the door, he wiped the ashes from his hands and said, "Who are you?"

Li Da didn't come to talk politely, and said directly: "Yes, that's fine. My brother-in-law and Yan Jinxin are both studying in the prefectural government school. What kind of classmate are they called? They have a good relationship. Earlier, my brother-in-law agreed to send stone powder to Yan Xiucai. It’s not long since I returned to the prefecture from the village, so don’t rush to deliver it, don’t delay.”

There's a lot of content here, Father Yan hasn't figured it out yet, he can't understand it, but he also knows that this is his son's guest, or from the prefecture, so he warmly greets him to come in and take a look at the mule cart, and asks to bring the mule in as well. Take a good rest.

Li Da was also polite, and led the mule into the yard.

Grandma Yan in the stove and Mother Yan from the backyard all came out now, knowing that they were guests from the prefecture, she rushed to the familiar aunts who had gathered at the gate of the yard to watch the fun, and said, "Auntie, please call Jinxin and Mrs. Xiaoshu, I'm too busy here."

"Hey, I'm going now."

In the Yan family, the person who pours water pours water, and the person who prepares meals prepares meals. People come from afar, and the voice is said to be that the son knows a friend in the prefecture and county government school, and that person is also a scholar. This is also the father of a scholar.

Li Da first unloaded the three bags of stone powder from the cart, and then took off the pole frame on the mule to let the mule rest first. Naturally, Yan's father was also there to help. .

"What's the name of the big brother?" Father Yan asked.The two looked about the same age, he could be older.

Li Da: "My surname is Li, and I'm from Xiping Village, Ningsong Town..."

The two reported their ages, and Yan's father was six years older than Li Da. Li Da called Yan brother, seeing the wheat in the yard, he naturally asked how the harvest was at home, and said that he also harvested the wheat in June, and the two crops When Han talked about field work, there were naturally many topics.

When Yan Jinxin and Liu Shu came back, there was a mule cart and piles of sacks in the yard. Seeing the tall man who had a lively chat with his father, he thought it must be Zhaodi's father.

"Hello, Uncle Li." Yan Jinxin stepped forward and bowed his hands.

After some introduction.Liu Shu had already gone to work in the stove, preparing hot water for the guests and eating.Li Da first cleaned it in the kitchen and changed into father Yan's clean clothes before going to the main room for dinner.

Li Da's clothes were scrubbed and washed by Yan's mother, and they were left to dry in the yard. They will be able to do it today and tomorrow.

"...My family has a total of ten acres of dry land wheat and ten acres of paddy fields. Zhou Zhou and I used to work in the fields. Zhou Zhou is my elder brother." Li Da said to Yan's family while drinking tea after dinner: "I Naturally, she is stronger, and later recruited a husband-in-law for Zhou Zhou, who is Zhao'er."

It turns out that the brother Zhao mentioned by the son/grandson has such a relationship with the Li family.

The Yan family didn't look down on the son-in-law. What's the matter? Watching Li Da talk, every mouthful and every sign, they knew that Gu Xiucai must be a good person. In this hot day, Li Daneng could say a word for his son-in-law Come here, the Li family is also welcome.

Anyway, Gu Xiucai from the Li family is a good person.

"When Zhao'er and Zhou Zhou first got married, Zhao'er couldn't do farm work, unlike Xiao Yan, who was so strong and strong. At that time, Zhao'er was studying, and later figured out the fertilizer for the fertile field. At that time, our family tried it first, and the dry land was the first year. There will be a good harvest." Li Da laughed when he said this.

Yan's father had just listened to it once, but he was still surprised when he listened to it again, and he didn't feel bored.

How can I be bothered by the good news of double the harvest of the crops.Li Da was talking about the dry fields of the Li family, but what the Yan family heard was that it was the fields of the Yan family.

Because the Li family is good and Gu Xiucai is a good person, they don't hide it, and they come here especially to deliver materials for fertilizing the fields, so there is another way.

"In the past, the dry fields in our two villages were similar. Once the harvest of an acre of land looked like two or three buckets, at least two buckets of fertilizer were used. The old farmer took good care of it, and it would be possible to go to four stones." Li Da explain.

Yan's family members exclaimed, saying it's really good.

"The paddy field is more fertile, but we must not be greedy. Put too much stone powder, burn the seedlings, one bag for two acres and three acres of fields..." Li Da said in detail, exactly.

The Yan family just listened, and asked how to do it from time to time. Li Da spoke carefully, and when he finished speaking, he looked at Yan Jingxin again and said, "This method has already been recommended by the Master, and Xiao Yan knows it."

Yan Jinxin nodded, "Yes, the county's arrival report has written, but our village is remote, and we may not have arrived at our house yet." He told his parents.

"Yes, if you do it, you might as well ask the villagers. If they want to do it, they will do it. If they don't do it, forget it." Li Da reminded him that his family didn't hide it at the time. He saw that the life of Yan's family in the village was more difficult than his family's.

Although Yan Jinxin is a scholar, he is not at home all year round. He lives in the prefecture and county. If there is any problem at home, he still depends on the villagers. Anyway, the solution will be passed on sooner or later.This is what Zhaoer said.

Rigorous letter will be understood after a little thought, and it should be good.

After talking all afternoon, Li Da also taught how to make fertilizer. He saw the manure piled up in the backyard of Yan's house. Although there was not much, Xiao Yan probably told his family when he came back.

Li Da explained carefully how to make fertilizer, when to use dry fields, and when to use paddy fields.

The Yan family kept him overnight, and he was on his way back to the village the next day.

"...It's not that I'm being polite, I don't want to stay. My family has a small business in the prefecture. The restaurant in the prefecture is jealous. My family is afraid of causing trouble. This time, I'm here to deliver the stone powder. I also want to go back to the village to get the plaque from the prefect." Li To tell the truth, he rejected the Yan family's enthusiasm for letting him stay for a few more days.

Yan's father has been dealing with the fields all his life, and the farthest he went was the town. He is honest and honest. When he goes to the town to meet well-dressed people, he will be short, afraid of getting into trouble.

Almost every family is like this.

It is not very popular in the village, and it has no status. It was laughed at by the villagers in the village when it was offered to read by Yan Jingxin. This is still the idea that Yan Jingxin's grandfather made when he was alive, and his grandson should read everything.

Their Yan family has been looked down upon as a joke all their lives. They are single-blooded, sparsely populated, and have no face in the village. Grandpa Yan is so old, and he is pointed at his nose and scolded by people, saying that his Yan family can be trampled by anyone. The life of the feet.

Only then did Grandpa Yan swear that he would send his grandson to study and earn face for the Yan family.

It's a pity that Yan Jinxin has not been selected as a scholar, so Grandpa Yan went first.

Such an honest Yan family finally produced a Yan scholar. Although the village still secretly said that Yan Jin believed that going to the prefecture and county to study was a waste of money, and he was afraid that he would fail the exam.

Willow is not angry about this, men are capable, even if they fail the exam, it's not like letting those talkative women pay money, it's none of their business.

This time, the Yan family heard that the Fu County restaurant was secretly doing bad things to the Li family's business. The Yan family's parents were speechless and didn't know what to say.

Yan's father and mother were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak up because they had never seen it before.

Liu Shu got angry but cursed angrily: "It's all done by ghosts who cut off their sons and grandchildren, and they can't do business in a serious way. They are doing these dirty things behind their backs, bah!"

Yan Jinxin looked over with a serious face.

Willow, who had just gotten angry, suddenly changed his face like a quail, and finally whispered: "I, I will go and get some water for Uncle Li." He ran to the stove in a hurry.

Li laughed loudly and boasted: "Xiao Yan's daughter-in-law is a quick-witted person, unlike Zhou Zhou of my family who is stupid, quick-spoken, and not easy to be bullied."

Yan's mother was afraid that her son would scold others because of Xiaoshu, so she turned around and taught Xiaoshu, saying: "Xiaoshu is just in a hurry, if no one talks about our family on weekdays, it's not like this..."

That is when the villagers gossip about their family, Xiaoshu scolds back.

Think silently in rigorous confidence.

Li Da said so, the Yan family is naturally not good enough to keep him, he ate meat and dry rice for lunch that day, and Yan Jinxin offered Uncle Li a stone powder money, Li Da didn't refuse, and he knew Xiao Yan was a man of integrity after seeing Xiao Yan , such a person, life is a bit difficult nowadays, but there will always be a way out, live a good life.

Sympathy and pity are useless.

That night, Li Da and Yan's father slept in the same room, while Yan's mother and mother-in-law went to sleep.

In the dead of night, Liu Shu took off his clothes and went to bed. The weather was hot. Before the man came back, he actually liked to sleep naked, so he just wore underwear. But now that the man came back, he couldn’t do that. On the kang.

The man has been working in the field since he came back, busy, and there are guests in this room, so it is absolutely impossible for the man to touch him.Liu Shu made excuses for the two of them to have different rooms and not to do things. He couldn't really follow the meaning of those mean-spirited women. His men disliked him and didn't want to touch him.

Liu Shu lay on the kang with a displeased face on his face. When he heard the sound of footsteps outside, he knew that the man had returned from the shower, so he kicked his legs quickly, and he was not allowed to close his eyes to sleep.

He even scolded someone today and didn't pretend to be asleep, so the man had to say something to him, all of which were words he couldn't understand.Go to sleep, go to sleep.

Yan Jinxin was covered in wet moisture, closed the door, took off his clothes, and looked at his brother on the kang, is he all asleep?Then he frowned, and kept the words he was thinking of, and said them tomorrow.

Also on the kang.

Liu Shu slept alone for a long time, and when he really fell asleep, he began to lie crookedly, with irregular arms and legs, one leg sandwiching Yan Jingxin's waist, and he kept rubbing against each other.

Yan Jinxin frowned and had a solemn face, but seeing Xiaoshu sleeping soundly, he had no choice but to swallow his words back.

Let's talk tomorrow.

On the second day, Liu Shu got up before dawn to make food for Uncle Li on the road, and fed the mule by the way.Believed rigorously, he looked at the willow tree who was busy, and waited for those words of persuasion.

When the Yan family sent Li Da out of the village, when the villagers asked who this person was and why he came, Yan Jinxin explained the method of fertilizing the field. He was serious and often had a dark face. Fu Zun has already tried the fertilizer, but the villagers still dare not ask more questions, of course most of them don't believe it.

How could there really be such a thing? I have never seen the old crop handles that my ancestors have cultivated for generations.

Is it possible that Yan Xiucai has lost his mind when reading?

Willow endured the swearing words and went back, love to do it or not!

However, there are also people who follow the Yan family to make fertilizers. They are a few households with good relations with the Yan family. They don’t have much reputation in the village. Isn't it richer than their families, could it be possible that you came here just to say a few words to amuse them?

Try it first, just try an acre of paddy field.

What, a bag of stone powder can make two acres of land?Well, then two acres... Try it.

After his father left, Gu Zhao discussed with Zhou Zhou that in the morning he went to the cart to buy sewage, and Zhou Zhou went nearby to buy tofu and chicken—there was a big iron pot at home, which could be stewed.

Try braised chicken.

Li Zhouzhou thought about how tiring his husband was when he went to the west to buy water, and was about to exchange it when Gu Zhao said pitifully: "Actually, I'm afraid of killing chickens, my wife, you don't look down on me, you're even afraid of killing chickens, no Like a man?"

"...Of course not!" Li Zhouzhou coaxed Mr. Xiang, "I'll kill the chicken."

Gu Zhao rubbed his head against his wife's chest, with a happy expression on his face, but his head and legs were a little uncomfortable.

Alas, sweet troubles.

The family divided labor and cooperated. In the morning, Gu Zhao went to buy water, Li Zhouzhou bought tofu and dried tofu, and bought a chicken on the street. When he came back, he boiled a pot of boiling water. When boiling the water, he put seven or eight eggs in it to cook. After it is cooked, take it out and let it dry. The chicken feathers have faded from the hot water, and the claws, chicken liver, chicken heart and chicken intestines are all kept. The husband said this is also delicious.

Cleaned up.

The chicken is disassembled first, and the chicken legs, chicken wings, and meat are separated. When the ingredients are ready, I use the iron pot of my own stove to marinate, a chicken is connected with tofu, dried tofu, and eight freshly boiled eggs. There is no need to peel the shell, just knock it twice and crack it.

This pot is full.

When Li Zhouzhou marinated the chicken, dried tofu, and eggs in the pot first, before the husband came back, he cleaned up the mess in the yard where the chickens were slaughtered and the chicken feathers were removed, and cleaned them up neatly. Be right back.

Li Zhouzhou didn't stop at all, while kneading the noodles, he woke up and rolled out the noodles for a while. After lunch with his husband, he boiled water in the stove and poured it into a teapot to dry. After a while, he could drink something cool when he came back.

In the front of the braised chicken, a firewood was drawn under the stove, and it was slowly marinated with a low fire to taste.

After Gu Zhao came back, the two of them packed up two baskets and went into the water together. The cart they made at home worked well. When it stopped, there was a bracket on the front.

Clean up the neutral gear, the stewed chicken is almost done, so I turned off the fire, and simmered in the pot with the remaining heat to taste.Li Zhouzhou continued to process the offal. After using the stove, he blanched the offal in batches. He took the clean ingredients and offal, and put them in the big stove in the shop.

The big stove was built according to the feasts in the village, and it can be stewed in one pot.

Gu Zhao then cleaned up the logistics, washed the pot that had just been blanched, and separated the marinated chicken from the tofu, dried beans, and eggs. This batch was placed in the deep pot that came with the stove, and the chicken was scraped into the basin.

Just use the stewed chicken pot without washing, a handful of washed Chinese cabbage, shelled two marinated eggs, rolled noodles every week, a spoonful of marinade, and make a pot of stewed noodles.

Simple and delicious.

After a busy morning, I was finally able to take a breather and have lunch.

The couple sat in the main room and ate noodles with cold rice.The hand-rolled noodles are strong, and the chicken marinade that has been marinated for more than an hour has no fishy smell. It is also served with green cabbage and marinated eggs after peeling the shell.

A bowl of noodles, the whole morning is gone.

comfortable.

"Eat slowly, I'll go to the front stove, I know the fire is lower." Gu Zhao got up and went to the front shop to watch the fire, telling Zhou Zhou not to run away, tired all morning, it's rare to sit back and have a good rest .

The big stove in the front shop is changed to a low fire, and firewood needs to be added from time to time, because the pot is big and there are a lot of things, so it takes a long time to marinate.The shop opened around three o'clock in the afternoon, just in time.

After the two of them finished eating, the pots and bowls were cleaned up, and a shop was opened to sell braised chicken.

There are still queues at the door early, and there are new diners who come here often.

"The stewed chicken, stewed eggs, and dried tofu that are launched today are sold in the afternoon, and they are being stewed." Gu Zhao told the diners.

The customers queuing up asked, "How do you sell the stewed chicken?"

Stewed chicken must be more expensive than fresh water. A chicken that has been deboned weighs about three to four catties. Meat like chicken, duck, and mutton is not comparable to pork. A catty of pork is eleven or twelve cents, and this is about eight cents, so A chicken is about [-] Wen.

The pricing was Li Zhouzhou's idea, but Gu Zhao just gave applause from the sidelines to support Zhou Zhou.

This time, Li Zhouzhou said carefully: "The stewed chicken is served together. If there is a chicken leg in a bowl, add some liver and dried tofu. If it is chicken wings, add a piece of chicken breast and some dried tofu. Which one do you want to eat There are some, and those who come early in the queue can order it, and the taste is different. These are 25 yuan per spoon, and [-] yuan for chicken."

Everyone understands the truth. If a fat hen is killed and sold by the spoon, the two or three spoons will be sold out.

"Steamed eggs, three pennies a piece."

It’s not expensive, it’s a fair price, two eggs cost three pennies, sometimes when the season is expensive, one egg costs two pennies.

Li's shop probably earns about a penny for the eggs, but the sauce is not money, and it costs firewood to cook.

After buying it for so long, I know that the owner of Liji Luzhu is an honest person, and the price is very fair.

After listening to the price in the team, they knew that it was a thing that the Li family did not ask for a price, but they still felt that it was expensive, thinking that it would be a good deal to buy brine in the afternoon. The soup is not wasted and can be eaten with noodles.

Braised chicken is fine.

There are those who don't want to buy, and naturally there are those who are not short of money, such as Boss Fang and Tailor Zhao.

Gu Zhao asked the chicken buyers to line up in another line, and someone in the line said: "I want to buy marinated chicken, but I also want to buy water. If there is another line, and I send the chicken back, I will come back and wait until I am old. Are you gone?"

The rich Boss Fang is worried, why didn't the servant come over this time.

Gu Zhao had anticipated this situation early on, so he naturally opened a VIP channel for customers who bought braised chicken. He had already engraved the number plates of love, and now they are handing out to the diners in line one by one, saying: "Buy brine in the afternoon, hurry up first." The wooden signs in the hands of the diners are lined up in one, two, three, and four, and there are positions."

"In the future, I will distribute the badges at noon. After receiving the badges, you don't have to queue up to relax. Come before the store opens in the afternoon."

The people in the queue all praised that this is good, it saves time, otherwise, if you buy stewed stew, you will waste an afternoon of work and so on.

Gu Zhao said: "It's for the convenience of the big guys to do this first. If someone counterfeit the brand or sells the brand number for the second time, then it will be cancelled. I can't sell a spoonful of stewed food worth seven yuan and be caught by the villain." Get a profit and sell ten coins."

Everyone naturally said: Yes, Gu Xiucai is right.

Boss Fang took the No. [-] number plate, so he didn't have to worry about being happy. When he got to the front, he said to Boss Li, "I want chicken legs, chicken wings, and marinated eggs." After that, he passed the food box over.

Have to try the taste.

Fortunately, the stewed chicken is expensive, and Boss Fang asked for so much, and the team who took the number plate to buy it didn't complain that they bought too much.

Li Zhouzhou beat Shicheng, one chicken leg and one wing each, as well as offal liver, dried tofu and tofu, and asked if he wanted chicken feet. Boss Fang was afraid that this would be dirty, so he said no, so Li Zhouzhou beat a few more chicken nuggets.

The money is paid according to the chicken legs and wings, and now it is 62 Wen, and the stewed eggs are four, which is [-] Wen, which adds up to [-] Wen.

Boss Fang felt that it was not expensive and a good deal. He ate a roast chicken in Jinyulou, which cost more than 100 renminbi, and the taste was not as good as Li remembered.

It was Tailor Zhao's turn. Tailor Zhao asked for chicken legs, eggs and chicken feet. He wanted to taste it.The sales of a pot of stewed chicken were a little slower, but they were also sold cleanly, and they were all sold out.

Xiao Liuzi, a butcher in the west side of the butcher shop, was hesitant. When he came, his wife gave him the money for the braised chicken, but the braised chicken is fresh, so the master would definitely like it. Be nice to him.

So I gritted my teeth and bought a copy, but it was chicken nuggets.

Li Zhouzhou recognized Xiaoliuzi, he was already a regular customer, and said: "The water has not been marinated yet, you should find a place to rest first, and I will give you the marinated water in the afternoon."

This is a good thing.Xiao Liuzi was naturally happy and thanked him.

After the braised chicken was sold out, the door of the shop was left open.When Li Zhouzhou went to tidy up, Gu Zhao sat in the shop, reading with a book in his hand, and looked at the shop by the way.

Usually when doing business, the Li family opened a shop, and it was sold out within two minutes of entering the water. Pedestrians walking back and forth, without even smelling the smell, just watched the long queue in front of the restaurant, some of them didn’t like to watch the bustle , Some people think that there are so many people wasting time, especially when You Qi asked and heard that there are no more platoons now.

Just eat, what's so great, and still line up.

But this one is different, the door of the shop is wide open, the big stove is gurgling and smelling, especially Gu Zhao will open the lid to stir it after a while to check the heat.

The smell of lo mei is already strong and overbearing. The shop is open, but not all of them are scattered. The passers-by who are hooked can't move, swallow their saliva, and Baba comes up and asks: "Little brother, what are you selling?"

"Stewed, Liji stewed." Gu Zhao put the lid on the pot and replied, "It is stewed with pig offal, my family's special secret recipe, and it costs seven coins a spoonful. It's not ready yet, so it's a bit short."

It's so fragrant, is it worse?

Then when it's done, won't the fragrance confuse people?

Pedestrians are now full of brains, whether they are in the water or not, and are about to ask when it will be good. He will buy it again, but the little brother in the store said: "There are many people in the line at noon, and the signs have been sent out. Today This big pot is probably sold out, if you like to come at noon tomorrow, or at Shen Shi, see if there are any left."

"But it should be gone, you should come over tomorrow."

pedestrian:……

It was sold out, isn't this a big pot?

Can you give up?He stood at the entrance of the shop, and the wisps of fragrance went straight into his nose, and he had never smelled such food before.

"Little brother, aren't you a liar? There's no one in line outside, so it might be sold out."

Gu Zhao really wanted to say that if you think so, I can't do anything about it, but it is obviously impossible. This is the buyer, so he explained it patiently.

Li Zhouzhou guessed that it was time, so he put out the firewood and started to simmer.

The pedestrian was unwilling to give up and wanted to wait for the sale, but felt that his legs hurt standing up, so he went to the Ma's shop next door to buy a sesame seed cake and waited while waiting, and asked: "The braised boiled shop next door is really sold out. ? I saw no one."

The Ma family couple thought that the young man was young, so they said: "At noon, Gu Xiucai was thinking about some number plate, so that people in the line can rest their feet. Come here when the sales start. Gu Xiucai didn't lie to you."

"I knew this new food shop opened a long time ago, but at that time I heard that it was marinated offal, and this offal pickled stuff, so I didn't think it was very delicious..." Pedestrians will be full of aromas, waiting to mutter It was only when it was over that I realized, "The man next door looking at the shop is still a scholar?!"

No wonder he was reading with a book in his hand.

Sister-in-law Ma said: "That's right, Gu Xiucai is well educated and is still studying in the government school, and his husband does the small business in the shop."

After waiting for about two minutes, Li Ji Luzhu came to the door just like the previous passers-by. They came to inquire one after another, and learned that the number plates had been collected and sold out, so they would come tomorrow. Unwilling to give up, they went to the Majiadian just like the previous passers-by. , Buy a sesame cake and sit and wait.

If you don’t believe it, you have to take a look, of course you want to eat it today.

Mrs. Ma was overjoyed, there were a dozen or so people just buying sesame cakes this time.

"Hurry up, hurry up and take the sign." The Ma family man said to his wife.

Mrs. Ma: "Don't worry, we still have a sign near our house."

Those who sit in the shop after eating the biscuits look at it. When talking, there was no one in front of the shop next door. Take the wooden sign.

As soon as the application time arrived, the team lined up according to the number plates received at noon.

Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Zhou, and Aunt Xu were among them.

For those who just ate sesame cakes, wait for those who are "picking the leak" to know. Li Ji Luzhu only sells two spoonfuls per person, but there are thirty spoonfuls in one pot. If people in the queue only buy one spoonful, there will be leftovers, but these people Looking at the people queuing up to get the wooden sign, the bowl in their hand is so big, it doesn't look like buying a spoonful of it...

No wonder Gu Xiucai said that this appointment is gone.

The passers-by who didn’t buy the horse’s shop didn’t leave either. It was the first time they saw such a business. They found it lively and novel. Boss Li lifted the lid of the pot. Hey, hey, the smell came from the next door.

How can I still sit still!

Stand around and watch.

Sure enough, everyone in the queue handed over the bowl with a smile, and handed it to Gu Xiucai with the wooden sign, "Boss Li, I want two spoons." At the same time, he consciously put the fourteen-character copper plate into the wooden box.

It was sold quickly and sold quickly. In less than two quarters, the whole pot was clean.

The onlookers couldn't stand still, and were confused by the fragrance, which meant that they must come early.After the diners finished shopping, they saw more than a dozen people surrounded by them, and the excitement of buying it turned into anger and worry.

Why did it attract so many people again, so come here early tomorrow, and buy chicken if it doesn't work.

Braised chicken is also delicious.

Gu Zhao said with a smile that they are sold out today, please come early tomorrow, and began to close the shop.

Happy!

"My Zhou Zhou is awesome."

Li Zhouzhou is also happy. He does business every day to make a living. Seeing that the pot is clean, everyone rushes to buy stewed stew. They praise the taste is good and more and more fragrant. Li Zhouzhou likes it. I love this line of work. Hard work and tiring, but down-to-earth love.

After closing the shop, we can finally take a rest.

Gu Zhao squeezed his wife's shoulders, thumped his waist, cleaned up and studied together.His family, Zhou Zhou, is a good young man who is motivated.Give your wife more hugs.The hand came to the front in disobedience.

"Msanggong, I don't have enough food at home, I have to buy more." Li Zhouzhou said with an itchy chest, holding back his blushing and holding his hand.

Gu Zhao said with a serious face, "Then I'll go buy it tomorrow." He was worried that Zhou Zhou would go there, fearing that someone would follow Zhou Zhou, so he couldn't help but said, "I don't know when my elder brother will come to the prefecture. If he rented a yard, he should have come here earlier. Bar?"

Zheng Hui didn't go off to work in the fields. This time he went home during the summer vacation because he felt guilty and wanted to see his parents and wife.

It is said that Zheng Hui rented a mule cart, and Ping'an Town is not too far from the prefecture. If you drive by car, you will arrive in half a day, about four hours, and start as soon as the city gate opens, and you can arrive in the afternoon before it gets dark.

It's obviously close, but Zheng Hui went to the government school to report very early in order to escape from his family.Now I went back, sitting nervously in the carriage, Yan Jinxin took a look, Zheng Hui looked at him, and was about to talk, Yan Jinxin first said: "I'm not as good as Zhaodi would say to persuade you."

Zheng Hui: ...

"You were such an asshole before, and your parents and wives treated you well, now that you've changed, what are you afraid of?" Yan Jinxin managed to squeeze out a sentence, but he didn't say much later.

Zheng Hui thinks about it too.

After leaving the city, I drove for about an hour. Ping'an Town and He Town were in two directions. When I reached the fork road, the mule cart stopped. Yan Yanxin clasped his fists and bowed.

Afterwards, the mule cart staggered to noon, and the driver asked Zheng Xiucai in the cart if he wanted to rest, and Zheng Hui said no, let's go back.

Go back early and see your parents...and your wife.

It was still dark, and when we arrived in Ping'an Town, we entered the city gate smoothly.

The largest medicine store in Ping'an Town is connected to the medical hall. There are only six shops in front of the shop. Three medicine cabinets are piled up on the front wall. People who buy medicines come here, one is dedicated to apprentices brewing medicine, and two shops There are doctors who come to see a doctor.

Father Zheng is in the clinic, and Grandpa Zheng Hui also comes over from time to time.Two other doctors were also invited.

"Here we are, Zheng Xiucai." The driver who drove the car stopped at Zheng's drugstore, and couldn't help but be speechless when he saw the row of shops. This is a rich young master.

Zheng Hui came down from the carriage and was paying the fare when the apprentice at the shop door saw it, and happily went to report to the shop where he was attending the consultation: "Master, Grand Master, brother Hui is back, and he is at the door."

Grandpa Zheng Hui is here today.

There were still patients in the shop. Grandpa Zheng Hui reprimanded the apprentice first, saying that the doctor should be quiet and not noisy, but his eyes were happy.

Zheng Hui entered the shop, quietly waited for his grandfather to see the patient, then bowed to his grandfather and father to salute, and said: "Grandpa, father, Zheng Hui has returned from the official school."

"Okay, okay, I thought you don't have to come back, it's fine when you come back." Mr. Zheng was happy, let the other two doctors sit in the hall, happily patted his grandson on the shoulder, and said to go home, and let your grandma take a look when you go back. Your grandma has missed you for a long time.

The Zheng family is relatives from the next generation, and Grandma Zheng Hui loves this grandson the most.Zheng Hui's father was much more serious, and wanted to preach at first, but this agricultural vacation is not for you, what are you doing when you come back from farming, and delaying your studies, etc., but no matter how serious Zheng's father is, he can't stand up to his father.

When Mr. Zheng was hurting his grandson, there was no place for Mr. Zheng to intervene.

Before Zheng's father could put on the pomp and prestige of Lao Tzu, Mr. Zheng returned to the house with his grandson first.When Zheng's father saw it, he could only mutter to himself that his father defeated his grandson, and hurriedly followed him home.

Zheng's house is not long in the alley behind the shop, and it takes about a minute's walk to arrive. It is a quiet and elegant courtyard with two entrances and two exits. Because of business, there are regulations not to dare to enter and exit three times. The family has a large population, so they go to the two sides In addition, the lintel of the gate is placed low, and the size of the gate is also in line with the system.

The Zheng family was afraid of Mrs. Zheng's broken arm, and they have been cautious since then.

When they arrived at the gate of the house, the concierge opened the door and bowed his waist, saying happily, "Hello, old master, and hello, second young master."

The servants in this house called Zheng Hui Second Young Master, and the apprentices in the medicine shop called Brother Zheng Huihui. Some of the servants sold their personal deeds and became domestic slaves. Apprentices are not the same. After becoming a teacher, they belong to the Zheng family's medical skills. inherited.

Not a servant.

The two brothers of the Zheng family, whether it is Zheng Hui or Zheng Yao, are both going to official careers, and the Zheng family accepting apprentices to teach means that they have cut off the inheritance for their children, and will take over the business in the future.
