Chapter 14 The Fat Man Rubs Rice (Ask for Recommendation, Collection)
On the way home, the fat man was still laughing, the poor baby probably hadn't seen anything funny in his life, and the laughter was really low. Out of the gate of the academy, the fat man didn't want to go back, pestering him to go to Fang's house to visit his "uncle and aunt", for the sake of the face of the five hundred taels of silver tickets, Fang Zheng had to take him home.
Xiao Wu followed behind, looking blankly at the fat man and laughing, listening to them talk about topics he couldn't understand, and couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
The three of them walked slowly and leisurely, and it was very comfortable to walk around. The fat man's performance is completely like the fanatical star chasers of later generations, asking Fang Zheng questions one by one, including what he thinks about the magical pair, who is the person he wants to thank the most after Fang Zheng succeeds in the match, etc., what a boring question, Fang Zheng said thank you CCTV, does he understand?
After entering the house, the house was lively, and the people enthusiastically dusted Young Master Fang and the fat man, poured tea, and served snacks, which made Fang Zheng a little uncomfortable. The fat man looked calm, as if he was used to being served like this.
sat in the main hall for a while, and talked nonsense with the fat man, with Fang Zheng having hundreds of years of knowledge than him, it was not a problem to fool an ancient fat man. The fat man listened to it one by one, and he didn't even notice that it was about to flow out.
As he was talking, Master Fang and Mrs. Fang came out, but they hadn't seen anyone yet, they had already heard their voices, and they only heard Master Fang laugh and said, "My little genius is back, haha, how are you reading today?" ”
Fang Zheng hasn't answered yet, just now he was talking about which Qinglou girl has a big buttocks, which Qinglou girl's fat man's face was tight, and he straightened his clothes, and after seeing my father, he bowed down and said: "Junior, Zhou Wu, meet Uncle Fang, Aunt Fang." "A polite gentleman looks like two people like the obscene fat man just now. Fang Zheng looked straight at it, this kid turned out to be an acting school.
Master Fang paused, and then smiled: "Oh? My son also brought friends? You're a classmate of the college, right? ”
The fat man said respectfully: "Exactly, Brother Fang has a straightforward temperament, profound knowledge, and sincere friendship with the younger generation. Fang Zheng was secretly happy when he heard this, the fat man, how to say it, the biggest shortcoming is that he likes to tell the truth.
Master Fang and his wife glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "My child can only play some tricks, if Zhou Xian's nephew praises him again, I'm afraid this kid will be even more unbelievable." "Since going to Master Chen's house to visit his teacher, Master Fang's attitude towards Fang Zheng is obviously much better than before.
Mrs. Fang didn't say much, she exchanged glances with Master Fang, smiled and nodded to the fat man, and went down to arrange dinner.
The fat man smiled: "Uncle is too modest, what the juniors say is the truth, today Brother Fang is in the limelight in the academy, and Master Chen has a pair......
"Ahem, well, ahem......" Fang Zheng heard the words on the side, knowing that it was going to be bad, and hurriedly slapped the fat man hard with the sound of coughing.
Fortunately, the fat man was not too stupid, and after receiving Fang Zheng's threatening gaze, he stopped his mouth in a sneer.
"Huh? Zhou Xian's nephew, why don't you say it? Seeing that the fat man stopped talking, Master Fang frowned and asked him, "But this son of a son caused trouble in the academy today?" ”
"Ah, no, no, father, the child has always been quiet and honest, how can he get into trouble. Oh, today's weather is beautiful, today's school is not alarmed, I and other students study diligently, and Master Chen is quite commended. Brother Zhou, are you right? - Brother Zhou! Fang Zheng hinted that the fat man would help him, but the kid turned his back and kept shaking his shoulders. was so angry that Fang Zheng pinched the fat on his waist.
"Ouch! Ah, exactly, Brother Fang is right. The fat man replied hurriedly.
Old Man Fang looked at the two of them suspiciously, and said, "It's so best, if I let me know that you're in trouble, I won't be able to clean you up!" Nephew Zhou Xian, you have to help the old man look at me more. ”
The fat man bowed down and said yes, at this time, Mrs. Fang came over to tell him that the meal was open, and Fang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere of the dinner was warm and harmonious. Listening to Master Fang's tone, it was the first time for Fang Zheng to bring his friends back for dinner, so they gave a high-standard reception to face, not only were the three cooks in the family all busy, but they also asked Yuelou to send a few signature dishes. What's more, the old man moved a twenty-year-old flower carving from the cellar, and it is said that even Master Fang is reluctant to take a sip on weekdays.
This time the fat man was flattered. He said again and again: "How dare the younger generation be so polite." But there was no ambiguity in his hand, a dish, he casually pulled it, and most of it went into his mouth. I have to admire Mrs. Fang's foresight, if you just make a few home-cooked dishes, I'm afraid it won't be enough for a fat person to stuff his teeth. Fang Zheng wondered if the fat man had realized that he had been deceived, and tried every means to eat his five hundred taels of silver back. - He's hiding himself so deeply.
During the banquet, Master Fang intentionally or unintentionally asked about the fat man's family history, and after hearing that his family was also in business, Master Fang was very happy, and asked again and again which business it was and what kind of business it was. The fat man couldn't say it again, and after a few vague words, Master Fang didn't ask any more.
Fang Zheng looked at the fat man with disdain, and said in his heart that this kid is not kind, and secretly thought that who would rob your family, no matter how rich your family is, is it more money than mine? The fat man lowered his head in shame under Young Master Fang's disdainful gaze, humming, it's good to know that he is ashamed.
The meal was enjoyed by the guests and the hosts, and the fat man said goodbye with a full burp and satisfaction, and Fang Zheng sent him out.
"Brother Fang, your food tastes good, hehe, I will come often in the future." The fat man said while picking his teeth.
Fang Zheng smiled politely: "You are welcome to come often in the future, but, with the amount of food you eat, Brother Fat, I am afraid that my family's food storage will not be able to cope with it, next time you come to eat, remember to bring a silver ticket to pay the bill, a meal of one hundred taels of silver, Tong Su is not bullied, and you will return happy." ”
The fat man paused, and then patted Fang Zheng's shoulder vigorously: "You are so funny!" He laughed and walked away.
Fang Zheng chased the fat man's back and shouted very seriously: "I'm not joking!" ”
Turning around and returning home, walking towards the side hall, Master Fang and his wife were sitting and drinking tea, so Fang Zheng sat aside to accompany them.
Master Fang slowly tasted the tea one by one, and only said slowly after a while: "Zheng'er, that Zhou Wu, do you know what his family does?" ”
Fang Zheng was pinching a piece of dim sum and stuffing it into his mouth, and when he heard the words, he said, "Didn't he say that the family is in business?" ”
"Doing business? Hehe," Master Fang smiled faintly: "I see that this son is polite and extraordinary, and this kind of upbringing is definitely not something that a businessman can teach." ”
His bearing was even more extraordinary when he listened to the meat jokes, and Fang Zheng pursed his lips secretly.
"Could it be that he is the son of an official eunuch?" Mrs. Fang was also puzzled.
"It's possible, anyway, it's not a bad thing for Zheng'er to get acquainted with him, since ancient times, officials and businessmen have borrowed each other's strength, become chess pieces of each other, and complement each other, and this relationship is unclear. Hehe, Zheng'er, you have to remember that no matter who you are outside, you can be polite, this Jinling City Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, maybe a random passerby on the road who passes by you is a noble person who can carry you, or it may be a strong enemy who puts you to death, so you must not be domineering outside. Master Fang seriously admonished Fang Zheng.
"Dad, don't worry, the child has always been as timid as a mouse, he doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, only others beat me outside, and the child never dares to bully others." Fang Zheng said modestly.
"Hmph, I'm going to believe your words, Dad's age is considered to be alive to the belly of a dog." Master Fang was very disdainful of his modesty.
"Are you alright? It's okay to go back to the room, study hard, if you can't get into the show in the next year, be careful of your head! "Master Fang's threats are always so creative, and as soon as the words fell, Mrs. Fang was so angry that she pinched him on the arm.
The days passed quickly, and half a month passed.
Fang Zheng didn't gain anything in the past half a month, he messed around in the school every day, went home honestly after class to eat, a good baby in feudal society, Master Fang was relieved, and with a wave of his hand in happiness, Fang Zheng's monthly money rose from ten taels of silver to twenty taels per month. Look, there are still benefits to being a good baby, and the salary has been raised in only half a month.
The biggest harvest is the fat man, this guy seems to be addicted to rubbing since he had a meal at Fang's house, and he comes to his house every few days in the name of "asking for advice" with Fang Zheng. After half a month, it is unknown how much the fat man's knowledge has increased, but the amount of food has increased a lot.
What makes Fang Zheng helpless is that this fat brother is well versed in the way of flattery, and often brings some small gifts that are not too expensive and shows his heart to the door to honor the second elder of the Fang family, coaxing Master Fang to say "good virtuous nephew", I just can't wait to accept him as a righteous son, Fang Fu has gradually become accustomed to the existence of the fat man, no matter whether he comes or not, he always habitually puts an extra pair of chopsticks every time he eats. Fang Zheng was quite entangled, and he wanted to collect money from him, but he was embarrassed to speak.
"Is my food that good?" Fang Zheng lazily lay on the mahogany table and asked boredly. On the stage, an old master surnamed Dai was foaming at the mouth and explaining "Mencius".
The fat man also wanted to follow his example and lie on the table, but the difficulty coefficient of this action was a little higher than his, and the fat on his waist was too thick to bend down at all, so he had to lean on the back of the chair and look at Fang Zheng enviously.
"It doesn't matter if the meal is delicious or not, what matters is the atmosphere of eating with your family, I envy you." After the two got acquainted, the fat man no longer used self-proclaimed names such as "under the bottom" and "foolish brother", and generally said "I".
"Won't your family eat with you?" Fang Zheng suddenly remembered that he had known the fat man for so long, and he had never asked about his family's situation, only that his family was also in business.
"My parents...... Often outside, except for me and my sister in the house, there are only subordinates. The fat man was saddened.
Fang Zheng nodded understandingly, businessmen value profit over separation, and while getting something, they always have to pay some price.
"Poor child, I will give you a five-fold discount when I eat at my house later......" Fang Zheng patted the fat man generously: "Fifty taels of silver for a meal, it is really delicious and cheap, and it is worth the money, where can I find such a beautiful thing?" ”
A little sadness just floated in his heart, and was resolved by Fang Zheng's gag, and the fat man smiled and scolded Fang Zheng and pushed Fang Zheng: "Go!" I didn't plan to give money, I want to eat braised carp tonight, you tell Xiao Wu to go back and tell the kitchen. "These days, the fat man and Xiao Wu are also very familiar with each other.
This dead fat man really didn't treat himself as an outsider, it can't go on like this, I have to go to his house to eat every day to catch up with Ming'er. Fang Zheng thought to himself, so he excused himself and said that I would "ask him for teaching" in turn, and our brothers would ask for advice, and our knowledge would always improve. Didn't Confucius say that "if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher"? From this point of view, this sentence is probably just an excuse for going to other people's houses to eat when Confucius was very miserable.
"There is one more thing...... the fat man suddenly became twisted: "I eat at your house every day, leaving only my sister alone at home, Brother Fang, see if you can ......"
"Come on, come on!" Fang Zheng waved his hand generously: "Anyway, one cow is also leading, and two cows are also leading, do you have any relatives in your family?" Bring them all, it doesn't matter if there are many people, it's a big deal for our family to open a flowing water banquet...... "With the extent that Master Fang likes fat people, it is not a matter to bring more people to the house for dinner, Fang Zheng agreed very honorably.
"Your sister should eat less than you, count her twenty taels of silver per meal, settle the bill at the end of the month, and no invoices will be issued." Fang Zheng lay on the table and lazily made an offer.
"Okay." The fat man said indifferently: "You wait slowly, I will pay the bill in the Year of the Monkey." ”

By the way, what's that, let's have a few recommended tickets, I looked at the point push ratio, the gap is too big, I don't dare to look at it every day, how pitiful, right?
