Chapter 13 is finally alive
It is said that these two people held their sleeves in their hands, trembling and braving the cold wind in the morning, and came all the way to Zhang Yuanwai's mansion.
The steward who was in charge of the entry and exit records at the back door changed his young face, and after inquiring, he realized that today was the day when the deceased old man Zhang was outside the day, and almost all the housekeepers in the house had to go to help and serve, and at night they had to do some vigils and watch these important things at night.
I heard that the second young master Zhang also specially invited Abbot Zhang of Chengdu Temple to prepare to repair the good things and chase the seventh.
Who knew that Young Master Zhang invited Daochang Zhang from Longqing Mansion to do the dojo and surpass the Dharma.
The two times are the monks meeting the Taoists, and the inside and outside are not right!
I just had a fight at the front door, and I couldn't help each other, so I had to divide the left and right and do things separately.
When the two of them heard that they had missed a good show, they were very remorseful, and they regretted each other, so they entered the house by name.
I saw that the house was full of servants and maids who were in a hurry, and it was not easy to go to Steward Zhang at this time, and there was nowhere to go when I looked around, so I went around to the kitchen.
Seeing the short-necked chef Zhang reprimanding the two little guys for steaming steamed buns, when he saw the dog, he came over and complained, "These bald donkeys are noisy early in the morning, and a good cage of vegetarian steamed buns is fishy and retreated, do you say that the steamed buns with garlic can still be tasteful!" If you don't eat it, you don't smash your grandfather's signboard. ”
When the two of them heard it, there were vegetarian steamed buns, it was really better to come early than to come soon!
hurriedly comforted the cook: "Master Zhang, those bald donkeys are great monks from Chengdu. There is Buddhism in every word and deed, and eating fasting and reciting Buddha cannot violate the precepts, which is not a blessing for them to enjoy your old craft. ”
After speaking, he rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said, "Since the kid ate your vegetarian steamed bun once, it was thinking about it at night!" Don't you see that you can't move your legs as soon as you smell it, your old craftsmanship is very good! Who in this house does not praise it. ”
Chef Zhang laughed for a while when he heard it: "You kid is a ghost, this mouthful, pick up some good things to tell your master." I know that your kid must be hungry and looking for food to eat! But let's talk about it first, after eating the vegetarian steamed buns of the master, you have to lay out the bamboo tube earlier. ”
The dog smiled: "Okay, Master Zhang! The kid will do it when he finishes eating. The cook nodded, and went back to the house, took a basket of vegetarian steamed buns, and handed it to the dog.
The two brothers just ate a meal, and when they were full of food and drink, they saw that the water in the tank was slowly running out, and they turned their eyes carefully and ran away for a reason.
I can't go to the front yard, and I can't go to the back house, so I came to the utility room of the old courtyard to see if I could pick up something useful.
It's a pity that after a long time, there are only some torn clothes and shoes, and the fabric is either moldy or insect eyes, and they have been put for a long time, and they are all tattered and unusable.
It was a pity that two men came in at the door of the wall, an old man and a young man, the older one was about fifty years old, and the younger one seemed to be in his thirties, both carrying a bamboo basket behind their backs.
Look at the clothes, which are also full of patches and patches like the dog, the old man saw the dog hurriedly bending down and introduced: "The little old man was sent by the king steward to help repair the "flowing water bamboo tube", and behind it is my son to help fight some hands, presumably, the little brother is the dog in charge!" ”
The dog replied and waved his hand: "Uncle, I'm not in charge, I'm here to do the same work as you." After speaking, he pointed to the dog and said: "This is my brother, come and help!" ”
After two meetings between the two sides, the dog led the craftsman with the bamboo tube, and came to the well to make a gesture and express his thoughts. It's not a craft job, it's the wonderful idea that's hard.
The dog only spoke roughly, and the carpenter nodded again and again, indicating that he understood, and by the way, the material problem that the dog had a headache was also solved.
He said that he chose a long bamboo with thigh thickness, split one side, and then used a chisel to break through the bamboo knot and grind it smooth, and one can be used three or four steps away, saving time and materials.
As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was one, and the father and son stretched the leather rope and held the wooden ruler, and the route and high and low nodes were selected in one meal.
It's just a temporary one, and there's nothing to pay attention to! The materials were prepared in the morning, and they were installed one by one along the route in the afternoon, and it was easily completed in one day.
There was no need for the two dogs to help, and the young man with the heavy bamboo could drag two of them in one trip. The old craftsman drew lines with an ink fountain, and threw each one to his son, apparently often used to matching, and made seven or eight in less than half an hour.
Seeing that the father and son were busy, I wanted to go up to help, but I was worried about causing chaos to others.
So he went back to the corner and continued to pick out the dishes that worked.
When the hour came, Steward Zhang, who was in charge of remembering the merits, led a thin servant over in a hurry, said hello to the dog and looked at the bamboo tube made by the carpenter.
So he asked the man to drive a mule cart over, and was going to pull out all the useless things in the courtyard and throw them away.
One trip was not finished, and when the second trip was installed, there was still some vacant space on the car, and the dog put the things he picked out on it, and when the pot was installed, Steward Zhang personally inspected it, and saw that there was indeed a big mouth missing along the edge of the pot, and he was also present yesterday and did not say much, only nagging next to him and saying, "Your kid has won the lottery, although this pot is missing a little mouth, but it is not in the way of use."
The dog on the side said some good things to accompany him, and when the car was loaded, he confessed his sin and went out of the house.
Out of the back door, there is a big stone pit about 800 steps to the north, which is left by quarrying stones in the past, and it is more than two people deep, and this stone pit is regarded as a broken site by the surrounding people.
I often come here to pick up things that I can use, and the shoes I wear on my feet now are picked up from them.
When he got here, he put all the things he picked out in front of a big rock, and helped the servant unload the things on the car, and he couldn't see Dasha and Bao'er left and right, and he was afraid that the things would be lost, so he asked the dog to follow the car back, and he stayed and waited for them.
The most important pot was covered with grass so that it would not be seen and snatched.
It wasn't until early noon that the two of them hurriedly ran over. Seeing that these two people had messy hair and shoe prints on their bodies, they quickly asked and found out that they were blocked in the alley by the enemy on the way here and were beaten up.
Fortunately, there were no scars on his face, and the dog comforted.
In this poor frontier land, the folk customs are more vigorous. Fights and brawls are commonplace, today you block me and beat me, tomorrow I catch you and beat you, it doesn't matter who suffers how much loss, both sides have left their hands under their hands, and they will not break people.
hurriedly comforted him, and said, find the field together another day, and let the two of them carry one to the house. But there are so many of those things that no matter how much you get them, you can't move them all at once.
Seeing this, Cao Baoer went back and pushed Grandma Cao's wheelbarrow, and then it was full of it.
Thousands of instructions, it is better to take a long detour than to be found by the enemy and rob the iron pot. This rich man doesn't take it seriously, but it can be worth five or six dollars of silver outside!
Seeing the two of them leave safely with a wheelbarrow, the dog walked back humming a tune.
With this pot, you don't have to eat cold soup and cold water again!
Deliberately detoured to the front door to pass, I saw that there was a group of monks on the left knocking on the wooden fish and chanting Buddhist scriptures, and on the right was a few Taoist priests waving the dust in their hands to do rituals, and the front of the door was very lively.
Immediately stopped and squeezed in, which monks muttered and didn't know what to read, there was nothing to look at, or the Taoist priests here were interesting, jumping and jumping very lively.
After watching it for a while, I was worried that the dog was in a hurry, so I went back to the hospital without getting enough of it.
When I arrived at the utility room, I saw that dozens of bamboo tubes had been piled up in front of the courtyard, and the dog was sitting on the ground, holding his knees and watching the father and son work. There was nothing to do at the moment, and I also squatted down and chatted with the father and son.
The older one is called Wang Darong in his fifties, and his son is called Wang Yong, who is in his early thirties, and is from Fengxiang Mansion. It was last year that he escaped from the north, and when he slept all the way to Yuchuan, a large family left their father and son, but fortunately, they had carpenter skills, so they settled in this Yuchuan, and usually relied on this carpenter's skills to earn some money.
The old craftsman works fast, and the materials are ready before noon, and they can be used only when they are installed in the afternoon.
It's time to eat, so I went to the kitchen to get lunch, and I finished eating a bowl of soup and a dish with a few cooking cakes, and with a wipe of my mouth, I nestled in the rocking chair and took a comfortable nap.
Today's sky is better than yesterday, the sun is thick, mainly because there is no wind, the sun is warm and comfortable on the body, and in a few breaths, this little snoring has already started!
I didn't wake up until I slept until a while, lowered my head, and stared at it for a full moment, before I stretched my waist beautifully, which was a complete return to my soul.
Look at the dog lying on the big wooden stake and haven't woken up yet, and the father and son of the Wang family over there have already begun to dig pits and bury piles, I can't believe that I am the same helper hehehe...
I was reluctant to call the dog leftovers, and came to talk to the Wang family father and son again.
"Uncle Wang, what are you holding up a ruler to measure?"
Wang Darong turned his head and grinned: "Brother Zhao is awake!" It's good to be young, the bamboo chair can't wake you up with such a loud sound, unlike the old man who squinted for a while and lost his sleepiness. ”
This old man is a person who can talk at a glance, and he holds the leather rope under his hand and says from time to time: "The old man counts, this water has to go low to flow fast, so the stake of this bamboo tube has to go from high to low, but this corner is a little difficult to get, the old man did a few corners before I don't know if it is suitable or not, test it!" ”
The dog looks at the stars and the day is bright, and you can do whatever you want.
We don't understand, even if we can get through the water, we said hello to Xiao Wang Carpenter from afar, and told him that he had time to pick up the screaming recliner.
He walked towards the kitchen with his hands in his hands, and he was a little hungry this night, so he went to talk to the old man, and by the way, he looked for some food to fill his stomach.
Before the people arrived in the kitchen, they heard the loud voice of Lao Zhang, and there were vaguely mixed with a few 'Amitabha Buddha'.
The dog's face was happy, it was estimated that it was a good show to start the gong, and after walking a few steps, he saw two little monks standing in front of the big water tank, with round heads shining and shiny, and seeing that there seemed to be no scar on the top of the head, he knew that it was a little novice who had not yet received the ordination.
shouted Zhang Ye from afar, and squatted aside to watch the excitement.
The monk deserves to be a monk, and he slipped up at a young age. A few words blocked Chef Zhang's speechlessness, and he was so angry that he threw the big iron spoon and was about to do it, but the dog hurriedly pulled it away, and poured a bowl of water for him to drink.
If he is angry, there will be no one to cook for him, and besides, arguing with the bald donkey is not a big axe in front of Lu Ban, and after thinking a sentence in his heart, he asked him the reason.
It turned out that these two monks had to come to the kitchen to order dinner that night because they had eaten too much meat at noon, and they were a little greasy and wanted to make dinner more vegetarian. For example, vegetarian chicken and goose or something, and some fruit wine by the way!
When the chef heard this, he explained that he only had to cook some rough meals from the outer courtyard here, and such fine food had to find Chef Huang, who specializes in cooking for the little lady in the back house.
With that said, you can go to Chef Wong. Who knows, these two little monks didn't look for it, but only used some bad words to squeeze him, and they annoyed Chef Zhang when they came and went.
When the dog heard this, he said to the two little monks, "These things will be taken care of at night, and the two little masters will come and get them." ”
After the two monks were prevaricated, the dog went into the kitchen, found a hot steamed bun and came out, squatted next to the cook, and said
