Chapter 44: Grandpa's House
Early the next morning, Yuan Xiaoya and Yuan Dazhuang, under the leadership of Cai Sange, went to their grandfather's house.
Because the third uncle's family wants to do a sea tofu business, naturally there is no time to do the business of golden needle vegetables, so he still has to go to his grandfather for help. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cousin Cai Yong also went to his grandfather's house with him, wanting to meet Cousin Cai Zhi, while the third uncle stayed at home and contacted the fish farmers in the town and asked them to deliver all the sea tofu they caught to the third uncle's house early tomorrow morning.
Yuan Xiaoya also taught the third uncle how to make jellyfish skin, and the storage of fresh sea tofu is very difficult, and if you are not careful, it will turn into a pile of seawater.
In the case of running out of sales, making sea tofu into jellyfish skin is the best way to store it.
Moreover, Yuan Xiaoya is also ready to wait until he returns to Yuanjia County, so he will find Manager Xu on Chen Ji and sell the recipe of jellyfish skin to Manager Xu, and the family is ready to build a house, so it is better to make more money.
The county seat is not very far from Caijiabao, where grandpa's house is located, and Yuan Xiaoya and they arrived at Caijiabao in half a day.
The people of Caijiabao are still very familiar with Cai Sange and Yuan Dazhuang, and they all stepped forward to greet them when they saw them.
Among them, there are some familiar faces, all of whom went to Yuanjia Village to help them divide their families before, and they are all relatively close clansmen.
Greeting them all the way, they arrived at Yuan Xiaoya's grandfather's house, which is also Caijiabao's school.
Since the death of my grandmother, my grandfather has dedicated all his energy to Caijiapu School, and many people outside Caijiabao have also sent their children here to study.
There are also many exams that have taken out fame, so the number of students here is still very large.
Cai Zhi, the eldest cousin of the third uncle's family, went to school here with the master, and I heard that he has been admitted to the Tongsheng examination, which is many times stronger than the second uncle of the old Yuan family, who has no interest.
Yuan Xiaoya despised the old Yuan family from the bottom of his heart, and he wanted to prevent the second uncle from gaining fame and getting ahead.
But I didn't want to think about it at all, a powerful gentleman like my grandfather didn't stammer, but abused his mother and himself, and whimsically married my sister-in-law to such a fool, and then went to the future of my second uncle.
However, Yuan Xiaoya also knows that with the unearned character of the second uncle, such an approach is in line with his personality.
During the school, there was very little time in between, only after the lunch break, it was divided into two classes.
The first class is a relatively small group of children, they don't need to take the test for fame yet, and besides, how can everyone in the village go to get fame.
Many children in the clan only come here to learn to read and write, which is better than being illiterate when they grow up.
So, they only attend classes in the morning and go home in the afternoon to help their parents with things.
The rest of the students are some students with better qualifications and are expected to gain fame in the examination, or they have good conditions at home and do not need to help their families at all.
However, because there is only one gentleman in the family studies, the class in the morning is a class, and there is a separate class in the afternoon.
When Yuan Xiaoya and the others arrived, the morning class in the school had not yet ended, so they went directly to the place where their grandfather usually rested.
"Third uncle, doesn't grandpa usually have anyone to cook for him?"
Because grandpa's house is a three-entry yard, not very big and not very small, the outermost is used for the school, and as soon as you enter, some students who are inconvenient to go home on weekdays live there, and the innermost is where grandpa lives.
Yuan Xiaoya and the others sat in the innermost hall, chatting while waiting for their grandfather to get out of class.
"There is an old servant who cleans up on weekdays, and at the same time cooks three meals for students and fathers."
Third Brother Cai replied, in fact, they also asked the old man to find someone to take care of him before, but he was too stubborn and didn't listen to them in some things.
Yuan Xiaoya understood, but she also admired her grandfather even more.
In this era, there are really not many people who can do things like grandpa.
Seeing that it was about to be noon, Yuan Xiaoya took the initiative to ask Ying to cook something delicious for her grandfather.
In fact, she also wanted to take this opportunity to inform her grandfather of the prospect of Jinjincai, and then she could talk about cooperation.
The kitchen of the clan study was in the second courtyard, Yuan Xiaoya followed Cai Yong to the kitchen, and saw that the kitchen was quite tidy, and silently had a good impression of the old servant.
It just so happened that the old servant was cooking for some students who were staying in the dormitory, and Yuan Xiaoya could know some things about the clan from him.
"Uncle Zhou, this is my cousin, I brought her over, she said she wanted to cook some food for grandpa."
Cai Yong is still very familiar with this place, although he lives in the town with his father, but as long as he has time, he will come to the family study.
However, of course, it was not the Taoist clan who came to take classes, but to see grandpa and brother.
"Xiao Yong, it's grown again."
Uncle Zhou is an old servant of the clan school, and he also grew up watching the third uncle, when he saw Yuan Xiaoya, his eyes were a little moist, "This is the daughter of the Xiaofen family, I haven't seen your mother for a while." ”
Because when Yuan Xiaoya came here before, she was still very young and a baby in swaddling clothes, so Zhou Bo thought that she had no impression of this place at all, and naturally she would not have an impression of him.
"Hello Uncle Zhou, my mother now has a little brother in her belly, so she can't come with her, and after she gives birth to a little brother, I will definitely take her to see you."
Yuan Xiaoya could feel the kindness of the university from Uncle Zhou, so he smiled at Uncle Zhou without hesitation.
"Okay, then Uncle Zhou will wait."
Because he has been a person all his life, Uncle Zhou likes these children in the ethnology very much, and he is naturally very happy to see a sensible child like Yuan Xiaoya.
After greeting for a while, Yuan Xiaoya began to cook lunch for her grandfather, she was counting on being able to impress her grandfather this time.
Because he hadn't had much contact with his grandfather before, Yuan Xiaoya didn't know much about his grandfather's personality, and he didn't know if he could accept his desire to do business with Cai Jiabao.
After all, in this era, literati are relatively high-minded. Businessmen are people who are not in the limelight, and they pay more attention to their reputation.
Soon, Yuan Xiaoya cooked a meal before class, and heard that Uncle Zhou didn't eat with them, so he left some prepared dishes for Uncle Zhou.
After Yuan Xiaoya set up the dinner table, his grandfather also got out of class, followed by Cai Zhi, the eldest cousin of the third uncle's family.
"Grandpa, Xiaoya misses you so much!"
Seeing his grandfather's figure appear at the gate of the courtyard, Yuan Xiaoya ran over and hugged his grandfather's thigh tightly.
She really likes grandpa, this old scholar can do it for his daughter and grandson, and lead the clansmen to the old Yuan's house to divide the family for his daughter, which is an extremely difficult thing.
For this alone, Yuan Xiaoya is in the game, she really likes her grandfather.
