President Pa dressed as a farmer's husband

One update:

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan packed things into the house, brought a few dustpans, and started to process the medicinal materials.

Seeing this, Huo Xiuling said: "Hey, so many have to be cleaned up? I don't think it's a good day, can you do it?"

Gu Fengyan cleaned the silt from the roots of some medicinal materials, "Clean it up first, and then process or dry it tomorrow when the weather is better. You can't just keep nesting like this."

Cleaning and cutting into sections is a simple job, and it's okay to think about yourself.

"I'm fine when I go back. I just come to help." Huo Xiuling rolled up her sleeves and was responsible for cutting the parts that needed to be cut.

Sitting bored, Jiang Xuerui also began to wash the herbs.Even Father Huo came to help as much as he could.

Several people were busy all afternoon, and finally packed up two to three hundred catties of medicinal materials in the yard.The ones that need to be dried are placed on the medicine shelf, and the ones that need to be fried are neatly placed in the basket, and they will only be cleaned up when they are free tomorrow.

Almost paralyzed from exhaustion.

Jiang Xuerui and Huo Xiuling saw that it was getting late, so they wanted to go home.

Gu Fengyan paid them some wages respectively, but the two of them refused to take it.

"Auntie, Brother Rui, don't shirk. Although there are many people in this village, you are the only ones who are willing to sincerely help me and Huo Duan with this business. We can't help much in other places, but this Please keep some money, Huo Duan and I can feel more at ease." Gu Fengyan persuaded.

Huo Xiuling and Jiang Xuerui had no choice but to accept the money.But after all, he is an honest person with his own duties, and he always feels ashamed in his heart... It's just a matter of helping out, how can he get so much wages.

Huo Xiuling felt that she couldn't hold her face even more. The whole family started talking about money, but what Brother Yan said made sense.After thinking for a long time, she just said: "Forget it, what Brother Yan said is also reasonable, and you will be too busy in the future, you just need to stand on the riverbank and call Auntie and Brother Rui."

Jiang Xuerui also agreed again and again.

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan had discussed before, and they wanted to find two reliable people to help collect medicinal materials and keep accounts.

Although Jiang Xuerui didn't seem to talk much, he was also educated, and he was down-to-earth and careful, so he was the most suitable for keeping accounts.

Huo Xiuling can talk to everyone in the village, and she has never blushed, so it is safest to entrust her with the job of collecting and weighing the medicinal materials.

If this can be done, they only need to be responsible for concocting medicinal materials.

Huo Duan smiled, "Speaking of which, Brother Yan and I do have something to tell my aunt and Brother Rui..."

The two asked carefully, but heard someone called Jiang Xuerui outside the courtyard.No need to think about it, Shen Zhuo saw that it was dark and Fulang hadn't come home yet, so he was in a hurry to find him.

Several people laughed secretly, Jiang Xuerui blushed and didn't know what to do.

"It's dark and the road is not easy to walk. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Auntie and Brother Rui should be more careful on the road." Gu Fengyan said.

He and Huo Duan sent people outside the courtyard before going back.

……

The dew was heavy at night, and the family gathered everything that should be picked up inside the house. Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan put a mosquito net on Father Huo's bed before returning to their own house.

"There's only this pair of mosquito nets, Mr. Huo, just take down your bed, and stay with me for a few days." Gu Fengyan took out another pair of mosquito nets from the closet, and spread it out to hang it up.

Huo Duan's bed was made temporarily, it was said to be a bed, but in fact it was just a wooden plank on a long bench, and he was worried when he slept, not to mention that it would not be good for Father Huo to know that the two of them slept in separate beds.

"Well, let's hang up the mosquito net first." Huo Duan was calm and worried.

The mosquito net was cleaned by Gu Fengyan in advance when the weather was good, and it still had the scent of saponins.

After the two hung up, Gu Fengyan brought in some dried wormwood and mint leaves, "Boss Huo, move it yourself, I'll order some more wormwood leaves."

The mugwort leaf was burning on the window sill, filling the room with a delicate fragrance.

Huo Duan moved the quilt and pillows to Gu Fengyan's bed, and removed the temporary support... After blowing out the lamp, the two finally lay side by side in the darkness.

There are night insects chirping outside the window, and each other's breathing can be heard in the quiet room.

The quilt was covered with the same quilt, and it was the first time for Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan to share the same bed with someone else. They lay with their hands and feet stiff, barely daring to move, for fear that if they were not careful, they would bump into something they shouldn't. The place.

Huo Duan's breath was full of fragrance, a cold fragrance.A lock of Gu Fengyan's black hair fell on the side of his pillow, Huo Duan thought it was very fragrant, and touched it with the tip of his nose... The wet, slippery and cold touch was like a hand that was constantly seductive.

In the darkness, the five senses are clearer, this fragrance is faintly present, it is clearly so cold, but it makes Huo Duan burn.

He closed his eyes drunkenly and leaned over...

Gu Fengyan was alarmed, "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

Huo Duan woke up suddenly.

Unexpectedly, he found himself chasing and sniffing Gu Fengyan's hair like a pervert.

"Can't sleep, it's too hot." He kicked the quilt away irritably.

Gu Fengyan turned over and pulled the quilt back, and said with a smile: "It's only a few months, and it's even hotter after the Dragon Boat Festival, and you can fry eggs... Go to sleep, you'll be busy tomorrow."

In the darkness, his eyes were bright, and there was a scent from his sleeves... Huo Duan discovered that the source of the scent was not his hair, but him.

Sharing the bed with Gu Fengyan is simply a kind of torture, Huo Duan feels resentful in his heart, most likely because he is bored with his failure to live up to expectations.

"Go to sleep." He turned over, and the quilt was piled up, wrapping Gu Fengyan tightly.

Gu Fengyan was about to move, he hurriedly said: "Don't move, please forgive me, ancestor."

"The Dragon Boat Festival hasn't come yet, why are you wrapping rice dumplings?" Gu Fengyan smiled inexplicably, "Would it be good for you to heat me up to death?"

An arm was finally exposed from under the quilt, the sleeves were piled up, and the suet-like arm was swaying brightly in front of Huo Duan.

Huo Duan had no choice but to pull his sleeves back, but he didn't stuff them back. He put one hand on Gu Fengyan's body and patted it lightly, "Otherwise, I'll sing you a lullaby?"

His voice is low and nice.

Gu Fengyan's heart was dripping softly, and he moved closer to Huo Duan, and snorted, "You can pull it down, sleep and sleep."

After he finished speaking, he really closed his eyes, Huo Duan took advantage of the moonlight passing through the window, and as soon as he lowered his head, he could see his bright red and moist lips, the tip of his nose upturned, and his eyebrows and eyes like thick ink soaked in water.

He hastily arched his body and tried not to touch Gu Fengyan... It's a hard night.

As soon as the rooster crowed on the other side of the river, Huo Duan got up from the bed as if he had been pardoned - with two big dark circles under his eyes.

As soon as he left the room, Father Huo was also coming out of the room.

"What did you do all night? The eye circles almost fell to your chin." Father Huo frowned.

Huo Duan was in distress, what did he do?

He barely slept.

Gu Fengyan didn't sleep very honestly, and in the middle of the night he kept shrinking into his arms...Holding a gentle person in his arms, or someone who had evil thoughts on his own, Huo Duan was tortured.

He forced himself to smile, "There are too many mosquitoes, I didn't sleep well."

At this moment, the door behind him slammed softly, and Gu Fengyan greeted Father Huo refreshedly, "Father got up so early?"

"My legs hurt when I fell asleep, but I can't sleep anymore. I'll feed the chickens and ducks. After you wash your face, see what you can eat." Father Huo left Huo Duan behind, and went to the backyard with a cane.

Gu Fengyan looked at Huo Duan, but saw that his face was pale, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for ten nights.

"Boss Huo went to meet the female ghost at night while I was asleep? You look like you've been squeezed dry." He stretched his waist and said with a smile.

A female ghost is as powerful as you... Huo Duan complained secretly.

"What kind of female ghost am I? I was drained dry by a fox who loves to hug people." He swished.

Father Huo drove around the chickens and ducks to the back of the mountain. Gu Fengyan was afraid of pecking at the medicinal materials, so he also went to help, and said to Huo Duan maliciously, "The fox said that Mr. Huo's arms are very comfortable, and he will come tonight ..."

Huo Duan was fetching water to wash his face, but the basin dropped.Gu Fengyan knew about it for a long time, maybe it was on purpose?

Immediately, he felt very relieved, with a smile on his lips... Somehow, he felt that staying up all night was worth it, and he even felt that staying up ten more nights would be fine.

However, Gu Fengyan didn't know Huo Duan's thoughts at all, and the words he said were just fluent.

……

For breakfast, I still eat porridge, which is simple and convenient to cook, and it is served with the perilla, peach, and ginger left over from yesterday.

After eating, when the dew cleared in the morning, the family took out the medicinal materials in the house and dried them in the sun.

It's too early.

While tidying up, Gu Fengyan said to Huo Duan: "Mr. Huo, go to Mr. Liang's house after drying out. You haven't paid for the medicine for your illness. By the way, ask him how he thinks about it."

Huo Duan nodded, "There will probably be villagers who will come to sell medicinal materials in the afternoon, by the way...do you have enough money?"

The money for selling medicinal materials is managed by Gu Fengyan, and Huo Duan also has some here, which is the pocket money Fengyan gave him every time he looked back.

Thinking of this, Huo Duan was inexplicably happy... It's like the wife manages the money and gives her husband a fixed pocket money every month.

Two or three hundred catties of medicinal materials cost almost a penny, and there are still many left.

Gu Fengyan said: "Enough, when these medicinal materials are sold, if the business in Dongfulou is better, you can almost think about treating Dad."

Huo Duan nodded.After packing up the medicinal materials, Gu Fengyan took some money and went to Liang Chengze's house at the entrance of the village together.

The Liang family had just eaten breakfast at this time. Liang Chengze and Shen Yao had been married for more than ten years, but they had no children under their knees. The huge yard was deserted.

The two picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the wooden table into the room, Liang Cheng was about to talk to Shen Yao about helping Huo Duan and the others prepare medicinal materials, but when he heard Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan coming, he led them in , Say hello and sit down.

"Have the Huo family boy and Fu Lang eaten? If you haven't eaten, I'll make something for you." Liang Cheng picked up the bowls and chopsticks and went to the kitchen. Shen Yao stayed with the guests and said with a smile.

Shen Yao usually lives reclusively and rarely participates in the gossip groups in the village. Gu Fengyan was not sure about him, but now seeing him smiling and speaking in a very kind tone, he knew he was a good friend, and he was relieved.

Shen Yao had to nod his head to hire Liang Cheng, if he wanted to use this to judge Huo Duan and him, it would be a big trouble.

"Uncle Shen, don't work. We have eaten the rice porridge we made this morning." Gu Fengyan took out a paper bag, which contained more than 50 Wen.

He handed the paper bag to Shen Yao with both hands, "Huo Duan was ill the night before, and it rained so much, thanks to Mr. Liang who was willing to go. Mr. Liang is kind and refused to charge for the consultation fee, but Huo Duan and I I have to remember, Uncle Shen is willing to accept this meager money for medicinal materials."

Seeing that he knew how to act and speak politely, Shen Yao felt that Huo Duan married a good husband.

"Your Uncle Liang refuses to accept it, and I dare not accept it. Besides, I didn't go when you and Mr. Huo got married, so this money should be regarded as a red envelope for you." Shen Yao laughed.

Liang Cheng came out from the kitchen, happened to hear it, and continued: "Your Uncle Shen is right, don't push and push. I know what money should be collected and what should not be collected. I can't lose money. "

Seeing this, Gu Fengyan had no choice but to take back the money, and exchanged glances with Huo Duan.

Huo Duan stood up and bowed to Liang Cheng, "Mr. Liang saved my life, I will remember it, if you need help in the future, just ask."

"Thank you husband, it's raining so hard, even a brother like him dares to run out to find you a medicine primer, I'm afraid." Liang Cheng helped him up.

Thinking of what Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan mentioned last time, he took a look at Shen Yao, and he continued: "I also agree to the matter of concocting medicinal materials, two hours a day, and you can just pay the wages."

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan were happy for a while.

"Mr. Liang, don't worry about us, we will definitely not treat you badly. From now on, if there are too many medicinal materials, we will add one more per month, and they will be delivered on time." Huo Duan said the price that he had negotiated with Gu Fengyan in advance.

Tongtong's money is already very generous, after all, Liang Cheng only spends around Tongtong's money for going around for a month.

After listening for a long time, Shen Yao realized that these two boys wanted to hire Liang Chengze to do something.

"Why didn't you mention this to me?" Shen Yao threw a word at Liang Chengze.

Seeing that his husband's face was already serious, Liang Cheng didn't care whether there was anyone or no one, and said with a smile: "I forgot, don't be angry, the two boys are real people, you can rest assured when dealing with them."

Seeing this, Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan wanted to defend Liang Chengze, but were stopped by Shen Yao, "Leave him alone, I will listen to his defense."

Liang Cheng was almost wiping off his sweat, and walked around Shen Yao, forgetting that they were still there, and only had Shen Yao in his eyes.

Gu Fengyan can also tell that Shen Yao is not really angry with Liang Chengze, but just wants to be coaxed... To put it bluntly, it is the love/interest between old couples and old wives.

"What a mouthful of dog food." Gu Fengyan sighed with a smile.

Huo Duan was puzzled, "What?"

Gu Fengyan glanced at him, and answered irrelevantly, "It's almost noon, aunt and the others are coming soon, let's go home."

But there is no money in love... Gu Fengyan thought to himself.

Huo Duan was very envious of the old couples.

Two more:

As soon as Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan arrived home, Jiang Xuerui and Huo Xiuling came back.

Hearing that there was something else to tell them, they didn't take anything.Huo Xiuling was a little apprehensive, "Brother Yan said yesterday that he has something to explain, what exactly is it?"

It's already a little sunny on the top of the mountain, and it is estimated that it will be a good weather.Gu Fengyan turned over the medicine and called it to dry, while Huo Duan had already moved out the small wooden table and ledger.

"Auntie, sit down first," Huo Duan said after taking a bench and told them to sit down, "Auntie and Brother Rui also saw it. The villagers sent a lot of medicinal materials. Brother Yan and I are busy at both ends. I just can’t take care of it... so I discussed asking my aunt and Rui Ge’er to help me buy the medicinal materials.”

When Jiang Xuerui heard this, she said nervously: "I haven't done this before, I'm afraid something might go wrong."

When Gu Fengyan heard this, he smiled and comforted the two of them, "It's all simple work. My aunt knows how to use a steelyard. You just need to weigh the medicinal materials they sent and pay for it. Brother Rui can write, so you only need to keep accounts." .”

Huo Duan added, "You don't need to run all over the mountain for this job, and you can rest assured that you are me and brother Yan... The wages are calculated at fifteen yuan per day."

Jiang Xuerui and Huo Xiuling looked at each other.

And such good things?

Gathering medicinal materials is not an easy job. If you search for it on the Big Sun Mountain for a day, you only get three or four catties.

And they only need to sit and weigh, and they can easily earn money by writing.

After Huo Xiuling was happy, she began to worry about her nephew's wallet.Buying medicinal materials for a day would cost a lot of money at least, and now they are paid for their wages. Even if they made some money, they shouldn't spend it like this?

"Damn, you and Brother Yan can listen to what my aunt said. Although I don't know how much money you have earned, you should be more careful. This day, the wages alone will always be more. What kind of business is this?" She reminded Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan.

Gu Fengyan smiled, he had to be willing to invest in doing business, not to mention that they signed a contract with Dongfulou Xinglin Academy, so the medicinal materials were not afraid that they would not be sold.

"What my aunt said is that Huo Duan and I have a calculation, we can't lose." She comforted Huo Xiuling.

Not only will you not lose money, but you will also earn a lot.

There were gradually voices outside the gate of the courtyard, and they were all villagers who got up early and went to the mountains to collect herbs and went straight to Huo's house.

Huo Xiuling hurriedly got up to say hello, "That's fine. Someone's here, so I won't bother...You guys go too."

……

Some medicinal materials were sun-dried yesterday, but those that need to be processed are still piled up in the house, and today there are villagers coming to sell them.The workload is heavy.

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan arranged for the purchase work, and they just took care of the roasting in the kitchen.Father Huo couldn't be too tired, so he sat under the stove and lit the fire.

Some medicinal materials need to be specially processed, so they can only wait for Liang Chengze to cook in the afternoon... The whole family has been busy all morning, and finally the cooking is almost done.

However, Huo Xiuling and the others collected another pile in the yard, and it was roughly estimated that it was about two to three hundred catties.

These can only be cleaned up in the afternoon.

The sun was scorching in the sky, several people put the medicinal materials in the shade, Huo Xiuling and Jiang Xuerui couldn't stay idle anymore, they were sweeping the floor with brooms.

Seeing that everyone was very hot, Gu Fengyan took some light bamboo leaves, soaked them in water, splashed them in the well, and poured a cup for each of them.

"Auntie, Brother Rui, come and drink water, and clean up after lunch." He greeted, "Father also came to rest for a while."

Huo Xiuling and Jiang Xuerui promised to finish sweeping the floor a few times before sitting with Father Huo under the peach tree to enjoy the cool and drink water.

Gu Fengyan took a glass of water to the kitchen and handed it to Huo Duan, "Take a break."

Huo Duan was really thirsty, so he took a sip of water, "The ones in the yard are packed in the afternoon, and the rest will wait for Mr. Liang to come."

"There is a fair tomorrow, and the Dragon Boat Festival is about to be celebrated. Let's go sell medicinal materials, deliver prescriptions to Dongfulou on the way, and then buy some things for the festival." Gu Fengyan replaced the pot for frying medicinal materials with a cooking pot, Ready to cook lunch.

"This is the first festival we spend together, maybe it will be the last one, let's celebrate." He laughed.

Huo Duan's hand holding the water glass paused, "Young Master Gu arranged it."

"However, we probably won't be able to complete the task before the Spring Festival. We can spend the Spring Festival together, hot pot to watch the snow, etc., and go to the county tomorrow to buy some wine and use it to make green peach wine, and we can drink it in winter..." Gu Feng Yan was chopping vegetables and washing rice, making arrangements in a rambling manner.

Huo Duan sat under the stove adding firewood, while listening to Gu Fengyan's description, he already had a picture in his mind... Suddenly he began to look forward to winter.

……

Gu Fengyan's lunch is simple, white rice, fried bamboo shoots with bacon sent by Huo Xiuling last time, a bowl of chicken feather vegetable egg soup.

After eating, Father Huo went to wash the dishes, and several people packed up the medicinal materials for digestion. Fortunately, there were not many villagers who came to sell medicinal materials in the afternoon, and Huo Xiuling and Jiang Xuerui were also free to help. Before sunset, all the medicinal materials in the yard were all It's tidied up.

Huo Xiuling and Jiang Xuerui saw nothing to do, so they took their wages and went back.

Liang Cheng came once when it was getting dark, and followed Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan to pack up the remaining ten kilograms of medicinal materials that needed special processing, and kept busy until night.

After delivering Liang Chengze, the bones of the two of them almost fell apart. After washing, they both collapsed on the bed.

Arms and back were sore, Gu Fengyan rolled around on the small bed, "Mr. Huo is serious, I have used up all the labor in my life today, and when I have money, let's hire people and do it while lying down." What a great boss."

In the past, Gu Fengyan always felt that sitting in the office all day and looking at documents was very exhausting, and now it is really how to write the word "tired".

Huo Duan is used to going to the ground, and it is a little better.

"Where does it hurt? Let me pinch it for you?" He took a shower, came in from the outside, saw Gu Fengyan rolling around on the bed half-wrapped in the quilt, and couldn't help laughing.

When Gu Fengyan heard this, he simply kicked off the quilt, lay down, buried his face in the pillow, and said softly, "Arms, waist, legs... Thank you Mr. Huo."

This person didn't seem to have a sense of proportion, or he didn't think too deeply about it.

His pajamas are snow-white, made of high-quality material, and traces are left behind by the wet hair ends. You can see the curve of the butterfly bone and the waist... The proportions are too good, it is amazing, Qiu Shiqiu , Gully is gully, all gathered in the slender and flexible waist.

The legs are like two flexible bamboos, long and straight, gathered at the snow-white and crimson heels.

Lying so brightly, there is a bit of a taste of letting others/picking.

Huo Duan's eyes darkened, and he stood still.

"Mr. Huo?" Gu Fengyan tilted his head and looked at him with a smile, under the warm yellow light, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of affection.

It seems that he knows that he is so provocative, but he doesn't seem to know it at all.

Huo Duan stepped forward, turned his eyes away, "Ahem... I'm proficient at dispatching me."

He pinched his calf, then his arms, his back, around his waist and thighs... His hands were soft and soft, and he could clearly feel his body temperature through the thin fabric.

"The strength is good. If Mr. Huo has no food in the future, he can go to massage for blind people." Gu Fengyan praised with satisfaction, but saw his eyes wandering around, and there was something in his words.

Unexpectedly, Huo Duan is quite thin-skinned.

Huo Duan pinched randomly for a while, quite tormented, he just wanted to slap himself, he really wanted to find fault for himself.

"Ahem... sleep when it's almost time. You have to get up early tomorrow." He tilted his head to hide his abnormality, pulled the quilt to wrap Gu Fengyan around him, and turned off the light at once.

The room was plunged into darkness, and Huo Duan breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Fengyan buried his face in the quilt and grinned, "Mr. Huo has never been in a relationship before?"

Otherwise, no matter how you touch a man, you'd be so excited. If it wasn't for the innocent virgin, Gu Fengnan Fengyan wouldn't be able to think of anything else, but he just finds it unbelievable. He's the president, and there are a lot of men and women posting up, so it shouldn't happen... Could it be that there is some hidden disease? ?

Thinking of this, Gu Fengyan was full of sympathy.

Seeing his complicated expression, Huo Duan hurriedly pulled the quilt to his head and covered him tightly, "It's as if you have done it before, don't guess, sleep with you."

It's half a catty, two innocent virgins, and they made fun of each other.

"You murdered your own wife, you," Gu Fengyan pulled down the quilt, gasping for breath.

After finally calming down, he smiled sideways, "Mr. Huo dares to be sure about me?"

Huo Duan guessed, so naturally he was not sure.

"You have?" he asked.

Gu Fengyan faced the roof and closed his eyes, his laughter made people scratch their heads, "Guess, I'll tell you if I guess."

"I guessed it, why don't you tell me?" Huo Duan was agitated for a while.

Does Gu Fengyan really exist?

How dare he, how dare he... Who is his wife.

The more Huo Duan thought about it, the more irritable he became, it was another sleepless night.

Three more:

Before dawn, the Huo family turned on the lights first.Today is to go to the county to sell medicinal materials, if it is too late, and the next batch of medicinal materials will be packed in the afternoon, they have to come back early.

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan didn't dare to snooze, and got up early in the morning with two big dark circles under their eyes.

They loaded the medicinal materials in the main room, and Father Huo was busy making morning food for the two of them in the kitchen.

After packing up the delicious food, it was almost dawn, and Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan, who had a few big bags of medicinal materials, would definitely not be able to do it, so they called Ye Bixian and his son, who happened to be going to work in the county, to help.

The four drove the earliest ox cart to the county.

Gu Fengyan divided the medicinal materials into two parts, one part was for Xinglinyuan, and the other part was selected according to the written medicinal recipes, and was to be sent to Dongfulou.

Ye Bixian and Ye sent the two of them to the gate of Dongfulou and hurried to work.

Today, Dongfulou is rarely deserted. The waiters are all sitting on the edge of the counter and taking a nap. There is only one shopkeeper, Li, who is turning the abacus on the counter, his eyebrows are so furrowed that he can kill a fly.

"Treasurer Li is well." Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan dragged several large bags outside the threshold, and greeted Shopkeeper Li, "The two of us are here to deliver prescriptions and medicinal materials."

Hearing the voice, shopkeeper Li raised his eyes from the account book, and suddenly laughed loudly in surprise, "Savior! Finally, you are expected to come."

He kicked the dozing man's stool again, "Don't wink, you're still dozing off! I'm afraid you don't know the guests are coming and going, so why don't you call a few people to help carry things in!"

The stool fell to the ground, and the clerk got up quickly, put the handkerchief on his shoulders, and hurriedly went to the back hall with a smile on his face, "The shopkeeper is right, I'll go right away."

Shopkeeper Li thought for a while, and brought the guy back again, "Wait a while, call your Uncle Zhao, and say something... When you come back, make a pot of good tea."

The buddy made a note and rushed to the backyard.

Shopkeeper Li invited the two of them into the lobby after making arrangements, and sat down in the elegant seat by the window.

Huo Duan glanced around, and found that there were only a few people eating in Dongfulou, and they all ordered some cheap vegetarian dishes, so he understood a little bit.

"Shopkeeper Li, where did the word savior come from?" He asked.

Shopkeeper Li sighed, grabbed the two of them and complained bitterly, "Oh, it's not about business! It's not summer, and the restaurants and restaurants in the county are starting to prepare food to cool off the heat. Our Dongfulou prepared It is an original green plum juice, sour and appetizing, and it can relieve the heat when it is splashed in the water. Customers are probably willing to buy it..."

He glanced at Yingchun Building diagonally across the street, gritted his teeth, and said, "The menu has already been changed. Who knew that it was snatched away by Yingchun Building the day before the opening... This green plum juice was originally created by Dongfulou, and I don't know about them. How did you get the formula."

"You two also know that the opposite side and I, Dongfulou, have always been rivals, but as soon as the green plum juice was served, all the guests Tu Xinxin went to the opposite side. I am so angry!"

Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan also probably guessed something, after all, when passing by the opposite door, that guy almost rolled his eyes to the sky.

"That's how it is." Huo Duan smiled slightly, and looked at Gu Fengyan, "This wife can help shopkeeper Li..."

Upon hearing the words, Gu Fengyan spread out the medicinal recipes written in advance on the table, and tapped one place with his fingertips, "Shopkeeper Li is laughing, I researched a dish the day before yesterday, but it can help."

Shopkeeper Li looked at his fingertips, and it read: perilla, peach and ginger, fresh perilla leaves, ripe green peaches, tender ginger...

"I've never heard of this flavor..." Shopkeeper Li pondered, "Perilla is a medicinal herb, I know that."

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan told shopkeeper Li again what they said before.

Shopkeeper Li felt that it was reasonable, so he said happily: "The two young brothers have a very good idea, and I will thank you very much if it works out! But I don't know much about cooking. When Lao Zhao comes, you can discuss it. "

Just as he was talking, the curtain in the back hall was lifted. Master Zhao walked in while wiping his hands on the apron, and smiled at Shopkeeper Li, "Ma'am calling me?"

Shopkeeper Li got up and asked him to sit down, "These two are the ones I told you last time, to deliver medicinal materials and prescriptions. You cook, and you follow along to discuss."

Zhao Dashi sat down, and Huo Duan handed him the prescription, "Master Zhao, let's see, this is the prescription written by my wife. If you don't understand anything, just ask."

Zhao Dashi took it over, squinted at the light for a while, and said with all his strength: "Good! Good! Great!"

I was about to finish watching, but I was thinking about a place for a long time, "It's just that I have never heard of this perilla, peach, and ginger. But the ingredients in the kitchen are all ready-made, can I trouble this brother to make a copy? I'll see." .”

Gu Fengyan answered with one gulp.

Although the dishes are simple, he also believes in Master Zhao's skill, but the paper is too shallow, and he still has to practice it.

Both parties are at ease.

Shopkeeper Li stayed in the front hall to greet the guests, while Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan followed Zhao Dashi to the back hall.

The kitchen was messy, Zhao Dashi didn't ask the two of them to go in, he just arranged for the assistant to take the belongings to the yard, and then sent the assistant to pick a few fist-sized ripe green peaches from the peach tree at the back door.

"The place is simple, the two of you will take care of me." Zhao Dashi said to them.

Gu Fengyan smiled and rolled up his sleeves, "Master Zhao is polite."

Then I started cooking perilla, green peach, young ginger... After the ingredients were mixed and marinated, I took advantage of the time to make a pot of perilla drink with the remaining perilla leaves.

"The purple perilla dispels the cold, the young ginger appetizers, and the sour and crunchy taste of the peaches. It's an excellent accompaniment to wine and porridge...Master Zhao will know it when he tastes it."

Zhao Dashi took a sip of the perilla drink, with a delicate expression, and took another mouthful of pickled vegetables... Another mouthful.

"Based on my many years of experience, this dish will definitely outperform its counterpart!" In the end, he came to a conclusion.

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan looked at each other and smiled.

Zhao Dashi went to the front hall to bring shopkeeper Li to taste it, but the two of them ate up a plate of pickled vegetables.

Shopkeeper Li couldn't restrain his joy, "The two brothers are really my saviors in Dongfulou, this time I can finally feel proud!"

Gu Fengyan said: "I'm also half-baked, whether I make money or not is still the same thing."

Shopkeeper Li is very sure, "Lao Zhao and I have been running restaurants for so many years, we can know whether a dish can be sold, and how many copies we can sell, just by looking at it and tasting it..."

Several people talked for a while before Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan came out from Dongfulou.

There is no money to be made here. If the road of medicinal food can really make money, it will have to wait at least a month.

There are still some medicinal materials to be sent to Xinglin Yuan, Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan rushed over with them again.

The Xinglin Courtyard had already gotten to know them well, a few staff carried the medicinal materials into the back hall, and called the doctor who was sitting in the hall to weigh them, and then settled the money for the two of them.

A total of [-] guan were sold, plus the money for the [-] guan from last time, and after deducting the cost of the [-] guan, Gu Fengyan and the others made a net profit of [-] guan.

Twenty guan is enough for a farmer's income for almost a year.

Gu Fengyan is sure that he and Huo Duan can now be regarded as middle-class families in Heqing Village.

However, this time when I go back and pay off the ten pennies owed, there will be nothing left, Gu Fengyan is inexplicably in pain.

Huo Duan had been absent-minded since the way to Xinglin Courtyard. He was even a little irritable when he got the money.

The notification from the system came on time——

"Your task progress has reached [-]/[-], please continue..."

Huo Duan didn't finish listening, and forcibly cut off the system prompt in his mind.

My eyes are almost blurred, my mind is in chaos, and there are only three words—too fast.

"Mr. Huo?" Gu Fengyan was holding the money, as if he had stolen honey, and was telling Huo Duan what he wanted to buy, but when he turned around, he saw him in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Huo Duan snapped back to his senses, and stared at Gu Fengyan nervously, for fear that he would ask that sentence.

"What's wrong?" However, Gu Fengyan didn't ask.

He just tugged at his sleeves, and said with a helpless smile: "I said it's still early, we can have a rare rest, and buy things for the day after tomorrow."

Huo Duan breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to hold his hand, but in the end he just pinched his wrist, "Okay, what Young Master Gu says is what he wants."

Although this is an ancient place, the folk customs here are open, and there are also couples holding hands on the street... But what does it mean to hold hands like this?

Gu Fengyan couldn't help but laugh, "Go to the front, it's almost the festival, it's lively over there."

He broke free, kicked back with one hand, and held Huo Duan as if nothing happened.

Immediately, Huo Duan's whole body stiffened... Gu Fengyan's fingers were slender and delicate, slightly cool, and he could hold them all with one hand.

He looked at Fengyan, and saw his beautiful side face, with smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows.

Huo Duan's heart couldn't be more joyful, and a delicate and soft soreness permeated from his heart... It's really alive and dead and alive again.

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan have been busy making money and making a living since they crossed over, and this is the first time they strolled leisurely on the street like this.

The city of Qianmo County is not big, but it is an important place for communication between the two prefectures. Goods from the north and the south can be bought, and it can be considered prosperous.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, there are shops selling realgar wine and cloth on the street, and the woven colorful ropes are hung early.

Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan bought a piece of fresh pork, salted duck eggs, red dates, and a grass carp with vegetables... There were some in Mi's house, so they didn't buy any.

The zongzi shells are ready-made. He saved some bamboo shoot shells in spring, which are just used to wrap the zongzi and get the bamboo fragrance.

Huo Duan took the things after shopping, and the two wandered around for a while, watching juggling on the side of the street.

"Hey, this is really a boulder in the chest!" Gu Fengyan sighed while applauding.

Huo Duan was not very interested because he discovered another thing.All the buddies around seemed to be wearing earrings, some of which were gold, jade, or even silver at worst.

In other words, the richer brothers in the village will also have decorations on their ears. Jiang Xuerui also has a pair, which is a small ring woven of silver, with a thin short chain dangling from it every time he goes out.

Why is this?

Huo Duan thought hard and finally recovered his memory.In this world, when a man falls in love with someone's brother, he always wants to give a pair of earrings as a bride price.If the brother agrees, he will keep the earrings, and if he refuses, he will return the earrings.

This earring is worn on the ear after marriage, to show the status in the in-law's family, and to warn other men, don't be rude, brother, it is a kind of protection.

Gu Fengyan also had it when he entered the door, it was passed down by Huo Jiazu, but unfortunately his family was too poor, so he pawned it in the end.

Gu Fengyan's ears are snow-white, with pink earlobes, she must be very beautiful with earrings...

Huo Duan actually felt a little pity.

"What are you thinking about? Don't you like watching?" Gu Fengyan pulled him.

The program on the stage changed. It was a dancer of a different race, wearing a gauze dress, with red coral beads hanging around her waist, her face covered by tulle, and bells were hanging on her wrists and ankles.

She danced on a big drum, jingling bells, and there was applause.

Huo Duan took a brief look, looked away, and applauded soullessly
