"yes, that's majestic!" Zhang Xi climbed on Liang Mancang's shoulder and shouted happily, the voice that belonged to the young man was crisp and pleasant, rippling in the wind blowing away.

Liang Mancang shook his head, smiled speechlessly, shook the reins, and galloped on his horse.

After a while, the bricklayer and the carpenter Wang took seven or eight people, and drove three or four ox carts full of bricks and lime wood, and the people who came were all familiar with them, and they did not want to give any instructions, so they went to work, the carpenter sawed the wood, and the bricklayer fetched water and mud, and began to build the house in an orderly manner.

Gu Qingzhu left Fang Kui to take care of it in the backyard, and let Zhao Di take Qingying to guard in front, while she and the big girl went to the vegetable market to purchase ingredients, it was almost evening, there was no one in the market, only bought some pork, live chickens and shochu, as for vegetables, the vendors hurried home, most of them were half sold and half sent, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, and came back with a basket full of them.

The three girls were busy in the kitchen, and when it got dark, they made a table of dishes, Fang Kui beckoned the craftsmen to eat first, Gu Qingzhu made an additional can of fresh mushroom bone slice soup, and picked up some side dishes, and asked Gu Daya to send them to Gu Shifu and Gu Shigen, and took Qingying back to the inn by the way.

Zhang Bricklayer ate the corners of his mouth and exclaimed: "I have been doing this business for more than ten years, the owner keeps food, and there is a lot of frugality, but the taste is not as good as it is today, spicy and enjoyable, sour enough, I still want to eat it!" ”

"But no, without two brushes, people wouldn't dare to open a noodle restaurant?" The bricklayer sucked the soup and sighed with satisfaction.

The people next to him nodded again and again, their mouths were stuffed with food, and they couldn't spare time to speak.

After eating, continue to work, at this time it was dark, Zhang bricklayer hung up a dozen horse lanterns, illuminated the small courtyard, the craftsmen talked about which dish was delicious, while continuing to build the wall, because it was to build a box between the main house and the wall, it was simpler than building a house seriously, so when it came to the first day, the frame of the house was erected, and the back was the upper beam and tiled.

Gu Qingzhu was worried that it was dark and not bright enough, and it was not safe for people to do things on the roof, so he told Zhang Bricklayer that he would do it again tomorrow morning, and they naturally couldn't ask for it, so the craftsmen packed up their things, drank a few sips of soju to relieve their fatigue, and ate a bowl of mung bean porridge to pad their stomachs, and then went home separately.

The backyard was piled with bricks and wood, and someone had to be left to guard it, so Fang Kui stayed in the noodle shop, put together a few tables, and made up for a night's sleep.

The three girls returned to the inn in the dark, and the shopkeeper slept on the chaise longue behind the counter, looked at them in a daze, muttered something, turned over and fell asleep.

In the dead of night, Gu Shifu's injury hurt so much that he couldn't sleep, he heard the sound of the stairs and called softly: "Big girl!" ”

The three girls pushed the door in, and saw Gu Shigen asleep on the bamboo mat on the ground, snoring evenly, so they tiptoed to Gu Shifu, and saw the cold sweat on his forehead through the inexplicable moonlight outside the window.

"Uncle Fu, what's wrong with you?" Gu Qingzhu hurriedly examined his injuries.

"I'm fine...... It just hurts a little. Gu Shifu frowned.

"I'll give you a few stitches, although it's not very useful, it can always let you sleep peacefully." Gu Qingzhu saw that he didn't get warm, and his heart was a little relieved.

She turned around and went back to the room, took an acupuncture bag, and pricked him a few places, and sure enough, the pain was relieved a lot, and Gu Shifu was stunned after a while.

The three of them hurriedly washed, the dark sky turned from thick to light, they were too tired today, Gu Qingzhu fell asleep next to the pillow, and the eldest girl and Zhao Di were also breathing steadily and sleeping soundly.

On the second day, the upper room was erected and tiled, green bricks were laid in the house, and the east and west wings were busy until the afternoon before finishing work.

Zhang Bricklayer and Wang Carpenter resolutely refused to charge more, and said that when the store opened, they would come to eat noodles, and Gu Qingzhu had to give up.

In the evening, Liang Mancang wanted to bring the brothers in the yamen to come, Gu Qingzhu was busy cooking, the eldest girl gave her a hand, and the backyard was left for Fang Kui to clean up, Zhao Di fetched water, wiped the tables, chairs, benches, windows and doors in the dining room one by one, and even washed the ground, revealing a wet and fresh smell everywhere.

The most excited, of course, was Qingying, who ran back and forth in the front hall and backyard, giggling and laughing.

The fiery red sun set into the western mountains, and the scorching heat dissipated slightly in the late evening wind, and even the cries of knowledge slowed down, and they responded to each other and sang a leisurely nocturne.

Liang Mancang changed into a dark blue cotton gown, rode through Pear Blossom Lane, followed the aroma of food, dismounted in front of the Ding family's noodle restaurant, and looked up, only to feel that he had not seen it for a day, and even the pitch-black plaque was bright.

There are hundreds of officials in the entire Nancang County Ya, divided into internal and external classes, and the servants of the inner class, Menzi, coachmen and others are managed by the county, Cui Fu is only in charge of the outer class, there are more than 60 people, except for the people who can't come on duty, the Ding family noodle restaurant has been pouring in more than 40 people.

Cui Fu bought a bunch of two kickers and long firecrackers, and the big guy was lively, and the bright light rose one after another, illuminating the dark blue night sky, and suddenly eclipsed the stars and moonlight.

The dining room of the noodle restaurant is not big, and it can't accommodate so many people to eat at the same time, so Liang Mancang beckoned people to move some tables, chairs and benches outside, and hung horse lamps on the wall.

On the square table in the dining room of the house, Cui Fu and Li Yunhe, the head of the street patrol team, and Du Jinhai, the head of the county jail, sat on the side, and Liang Mancang sat on the side to pour wine and tea with them.

The other tables are the same officials as the outside, and it is rare that the food is good and the wine is delicious, and they eat one by one, and they are dancing and making noise.

"Your girl's cooking is really not ordinarily good." Du Jinhai nibbled on the chicken bones and took a sip of wine.

He was born tall and stout, his face was like black charcoal, and his long hair under his chin was black and hard.

"Yes, yes, it's a pity to open a noodle restaurant with this craft, I don't think it's bad with the chef of Sansheng Restaurant." Li Yunhe took a piece of trembling braised pork, took a sip, and said with satisfied squinted eyes.

"The food is a good dish, the wine is a good wine, our brothers have eaten this meal, and we will give them more publicity in the future, I am here to borrow flowers and offer Buddha, I salute you first!" Cui Fu stood up and said loudly.

"Of course!"

"To be able to make such a delicious dish, the pasta must be no worse!"

"Look, the days when diners will break through the threshold are still ahead!"

Everyone inside and outside stood up, chattering, echoing, and raising their glasses to drink.

"Thank you, brothers, for your love, and my little brother respects you." Liang Mancang toasted the three of them one by one.

Cui Fu stopped his arm: "Don't patronize us, go to the tables, don't drink too much." ”

Liang Mancang nodded, holding a cup in one hand and an altar in the other, toasting to each table, those officials were happy, where would they let him go, Rao was a large amount of wine, but he couldn't stand them toasting in turn, and soon drank an empty jar, his eyes gradually drifted, and his feet staggered.

Fang Kui was helping to serve the food, and seeing this, he hurriedly helped him to sit down, took his wine glass, and continued to drink with him.

This is the case in the wine field, who would rather get drunk and unconscious, but he can't admit it, and those officials are all bloody men, and when they see someone who dares to jump out and fight for wine, they even scream and squeeze over to drink.

In the end, Cui Fu couldn't stand it, and pushed those masters who were not too troublesome to take back to their seats, and only then did they rescue Liang Mancang and Fang Kui.

Gu Daya saw it really when she secretly lifted the curtain in the back kitchen, and she was so anxious that she urged Gu Qingzhu to cook the sobering soup.

A group of people waited for more than an hour to eat and drink, and then they drunkenly helped each other to leave, Gu Qingzhu sent him off with a smile at the door, and Cui Fu left and gave Gu Qingzhu a red envelope.

Where is Gu Qingzhu willing to accept it, he pushed it a few times, but after all, he couldn't accept it, so he had to accept it.

Liang Mancang and Fang Kui drank the sobering soup and reluctantly sent off the guests, and when they returned to the noodle restaurant, they were a little drowsy, so Gu Qingzhu had to arrange for them to stay in the store.

The eldest girl and Zhao Di cleaned up the dishes and went to wash, Gu Qingzhu started to make noodles, and when everything stopped, they listened to Liang Mancang and Fang Kui's snoring like thunder, and slept soundly, the eldest girl put the boiled pot of tea on the table, and the three of them quietly withdrew with Qingying, locked the door and left.

Gu Shifu's legs were still very painful, but he was more worried about the three girls, so he kept his eyes open and waited in the dark, Qingying was a big ghost, she pushed the door and poked into her little head to look, and whispered, "Uncle Fu, are you sleeping?" ”

"Not yet, what about your sister?" Gu Shifu was asked softly and glutinously by her, and his heart seemed to melt, and even the wound didn't hurt so much.

"My sister went with the acupuncture bag, and Sister Zhao Di and Sister Zhaodi went to the kitchen to boil water, so I had to talk to you." Qingying was lying on the side of Gu Shifu's bed, like a kitten, blinking a pair of big watery eyes.

"Qingying is really good, is the noodle restaurant lively today?" Gu Shifu had a smile on the corner of his mouth, chatting with this little doll seriously.

"It's lively, there are many, many people here, and they can't sit in the house, Brother Mancang and Brother Kui are drunk, and they are also drunk." Qingying grabbed her fingers and said arrogantly.

"Huh...... ...... hiss" Gu Shifu smiled, and suddenly pulled to the injury, and the pain in his heart came up.

At this moment, Gu Qingzhu walked in, frowned and said, "Qingying, how many times have I told you, don't lie on the side of Uncle Fu's bed, in case you touch a wound, how can you get it!" ”

"I'm ......" Qingying got up and stood to the side with her hands and feet.

Gu Shifu hurriedly shook his hand: "It's not about Qingying, what are you doing to her, I just ran into it myself." ”

Gu Qingzhu stretched out his hand and rubbed Qingying's hair: "It's my sister who blames you, go ahead, Sister Zhaodi told you to take a bath." ”

Qingying turned around and ran away with a puff of smoke.

"Uncle Fu, are you feeling better today?" Gu Qingzhu said as he carefully checked his pulse.

"When your Uncle Gen changed the dressing, he said that the wound was about to scab over, and Mr. Tan's medical skills in Dexing Pharmacy were really amazing." Gu Shifu said with emotion.

"That's nature, Dexing's benevolence and benevolence are well-known in Nancang County." Gu Qingzhu applied the needle with his hands.

Gu Shifu sighed: "I just hope that it will be better soon, and I will go back to my family as soon as possible, so as not to hold you back here!" ”

"Where did Uncle Fu say, you are here, just like Dinghai Shen's needle, our juniors are outside, and our hearts are steady." Gu Qingzhu persuaded with a smile.

"You girl can relax my heart more than the big girl, I'm only afraid that I will be a lame old man in the future, and what kind of old man will be the sea god needle!" Gu Shigen was amused by what she said.
