Zheng Qiu's eldest brother did know the shopkeeper of a restaurant that was at the entrance of the bazaar, called Zuishan Tower.

There is a famous dish in Zuishan Building, Fushan Drunken Fish, which is made with fish and three kinds of rice wine. It is said that this dish is full of mellow flavor when eaten, but after eating, it has a lot of stamina, and people with poor alcohol consumption can't get out of the gate of Zuishan Building.

Once the stove in the kitchen of Zuishan Building burned down, it was Brother Zheng Qiu who carried bricks on his back to repair it, and it was at that time that he met the shopkeeper of Zuishan Building.

The shopkeeper was thin, but his belly was quite large, as if he had a pillow stuffed in his clothes. However, the shopkeeper was very good, and when he heard that Zheng Qiu's family needed money, he arranged an errand in less than a day. At the same time, he also said that he would take good care of Zheng Qiu and not let the children be bullied.

Yun You's mental state is much better than before, not only is she willing to talk to other people, but she also offers to learn to knit clothes from Zheng Qiu's mother. Zheng Qiu's mother was very happy, and praised Yunyou's ingenuity at dinner every day, saying how smart she was and how fast she learned.

As for the master, every morning, he would pack the newly woven clothes, carry the bamboo basket to the market to set up a stall, and send Zheng Qiu to the Zuishan Building by the way.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year. The goose feathers and snow are blowing one after another, and the sky and the earth are white. In Bihe Town, special fish lanterns are hung in front of every house, and in the open space in the middle of the market, fish dolls more than two feet high are piled up with snow.

At this moment, Zheng Qiu's house was also filled with joy, just ten days ago, they paid off the medicine they owed. The doctor also gave a ginseng plant with a big finger and asked them to replenish Yunyou.

"What? What can I do? I can't go, I can't go. Hearing Zheng Qiu say that he still had to go to Zuishan Tower in the New Year, his mother shook her head on the spot and refused, "How can I go in the New Year, I have to stay together as a family in the New Year." ”

But the shopkeeper said, "Give double wages." Zheng Qiu scratched her head, trying to convince her mother.

"No, don't say double, don't go three. Now that the medicine bill has been paid off, the family doesn't need you to work so hard. ”

"Mother, second brother is not all for wages. The eldest brother spoke up to help Zheng Qiu speak, "Many people have gone home during the New Year, and the shopkeeper is now tight, and the second brother is also going to help, which can be regarded as a favor for the shopkeeper." ”

Bang, Zheng Qiu's mother's chopsticks knocked: "Eat your meal." ”

Then she turned to Zheng Qiu: "Son, is it like what your eldest brother said, are you going to repay the favor of the shopkeeper?"

Zheng Qiu rolled his eyes, as if the eldest brother's statement was not very repulsive to his mother, so he followed what the eldest brother said: "Well, well, it's to repay the favor, the shopkeeper has helped us a lot, and we will definitely have to pay it back." ”

"Then you can't go every day, how can you go here every day. ”

The eldest brother's statement is true, and his mother did not directly refuse this time, Zheng Qiu struck while the iron was hot, and hurriedly added: "Mother, don't worry, I discussed it with the shopkeeper, and I will only go for half a day each time." ”

"Half a day?" Zheng Qiu's mother hesitated.

"It's really just half a day. ”

After thinking for a while, my mother finally nodded and agreed: "Then I can only go for half a day." ”

"Thank you, mother!" Zheng Qiu hurriedly stepped forward and gave a hug.

The next day, stepping on the thick snow, Zheng Qiu came to Zuishan Tower early. "Shopkeeper, I'm coming! I've told my family. ”

Seeing that it was Zheng Qiu, the shopkeeper's face was full of smiles: "Ouch, it's still our Zheng Qiu who is the most well-behaved." It's frozen, go to the kitchen to drink hot water before you start work. ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper," Zheng Qiu said while patting the snowflakes on his body, "Shopkeeper, don't forget what you said last time." I don't want the wages in the New Year, but after the New Year, I will bring my family here for dinner, and you will be treated. ”

"Zheng Qiu, don't worry, I have written it down in black and white, and I will definitely invite you to serve good dishes when the time comes. ”

"Then I'll go to the kitchen, shopkeeper, you're busy. ”

Because it is the New Year, there are a lot of people who come to Zuishan Lou to eat, and all the tables are feasting, and more than 200 plates of photovoltaic mountain drunken fish are sold. Zheng Qiu kept running out of the kitchen and running in again, and he didn't rest for a moment at noon.

The meal gradually passed, and the guests who had finished eating left one after another, and less than half of the remaining tables in the Zuishan Building still had guests.

"Child, come here!" The shopkeeper came to the door of the kitchen and stopped Zheng Qiu, who was about to go in to serve food.

Zheng Qiu wiped his sweat and didn't know what the shopkeeper meant.

"I'm tired, okay, I'll leave the rest to the other guys, and you can rest for a while and go home." ”

"Shopkeeper, I still have strength, and the big brothers haven't rested. ”

The shopkeeper pressed him into a chair and sat down. "How old are they? How old are you? That's all for today, be obedient, or I won't be treated." ”

"Don't don't, I'm obedient, obedient. ”

"That's right, go back and rest early. ”

Sitting on the chair and rubbing his sore legs, Zheng Qiu felt embarrassed to rest here all the time. So he put on his padded jacket and left the drunken mountain building with his hands.

It started to snow again, it was heavy, and the snow on the road became thicker, and it didn't reach the calf. The wind was blowing in the streets, and the snowflakes were blowing on the face. Zheng Qiu pulled his collar, shrunk his neck and buried his head in the hurry.

Suddenly, his head shook, as if he had hit something. Before he could look up, a wave of qi came over his face and directly flew him out. fell to the ground with a thud, Zheng Qiu turned his head one after another, and rolled out two or three feet.

Ahem, he spat out a mouth full of snowflakes, wiped his face and sat up a little. Fortunately, the snow on the ground is thick, otherwise it would have cost half a life.

"What are you doing!" a somewhat immature female voice sounded in front of her. Zheng Qiu raised his head and found that it was a girl wearing a purple striped white robe.

The girl was not tall, with two long braids, a large golden bell around her neck, and looked to be about ten years old. The girl clasped her hands and looked at Zheng Qiu angrily, her eyes as if she was about to eat him.

"What do you see? This is the end of the collision with Miss Ben, do you have any opinions?"

Zheng Qiu immediately came back to his senses, this girl must be a cultivator, and he can't afford to offend a cultivator. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Zheng Qiu hurriedly got up and bowed and apologized.

"Senior sister, junior sister!" A young man caught up behind him, and the young man was wearing a robe with blue stripes and a white background, and he was much taller than the girl.

Seeing the situation here, the young man ran to Zheng Qiu's side and asked, "Are you okay, are you injured?"

Zheng Qiu hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine, I'm not injured......"

"Hmph, senior brother, why didn't you ask me first, but ran to care about others!" the girl raised her foot and kicked the snow hard, and raised a large area.

"It's okay. The young man nodded to Zheng Qiu and hurried back to the girl's side, "Senior sister, you will suffer if you lose your anger and lose your temper outside." ”

"I've already suffered a loss, okay! He hit me first. ”

"Senior sister, I know, I know you've suffered a loss. Senior sister, you are so heavy, don't worry about him anymore, he is just an ordinary child. ”

"What do you mean, brother, I'm also a child!"

"Yes, yes, senior brother is stupid, senior brother didn't notice, okay, okay, let's not get drenched in the snow......" The young man bent over and pulled the girl away while persuading.
