The next morning, when Zhou Bingrui and his wife left, they wanted to give all the more than a dozen yuan in the baggage to the master and apprentice, but Mr. refused with a smile. Xiao Zheng saw that the three of them were pushing back and forth endlessly, so he said to the husband and wife: "I think the shop opened by your husband and wife in Yushan County is not small, it should be regarded as a solid home, right?" Zhou Bingrui replied: "Mr. Xiao, I have been opening a silk cloth shop in Yushan County for more than 20 years, although it is not one of the best in this industry, but it is also a middle and upper capital, although I am a businessman and my status is despised by the world, but I definitely don't have to worry about eating and drinking, you must accept this more than ten yuan no matter what, this money is not too much, but my husband and wife can also afford it."

Xiao Zheng smiled and said to Zhou Bingrui: "Actually, the consistent money I received from you last night was enough, and I am collecting you four times to make up the whole money, but don't get me wrong, I am going to give them these four dollars." After speaking, he pointed to a few people around Xiao Hai. In order to cure your illness, several of them were busy all night long digging pits and frying sand the night before yesterday, especially your cousin Ershunzi was also caught in the face by his sister-in-law a few times, which is not too much to pay for medical expenses", everyone laughed happily after listening.

Seeing that the master and apprentice insisted on not charging so much money, Zhou Bingrui's face was a little reluctant, Xiao Zheng said to him with a smile: "Boss Zhou, I don't charge you less because there are still two things I want to cooperate with you, let's talk about some business agreement?" I have some business here that I want to cooperate with you and make money together." Zhou Bingrui himself is very shrewd, through this two-day contact, it is obvious that the master and apprentice are not ordinary people, and when they heard Xiao Zheng asking him to cooperate, he responded and said: "The two gentlemen have something to order."

Xiao Zheng continued: "You also know that Ershunzi's family lives in Li Zhuang, Li Zhuang I also have a classmate named Lou Shide, your cousin they have also seen, their orphans and widows have a hard life, the child's mother weaves a good cloth, but it is often harsh and harsh by the person who collects the cloth, and the selling price is not high, I want you to accept her cloth directly, let her buy it at a good price, and by the way, let you do some good deeds and accumulate some merits." When Zhou Bingrui heard that things were so simple, he smiled and said, "Why do I think it's difficult, do you think it's good?" How much money does her cloth sell for in the market, I will oppose him and how much she is, if she can't go to the county seat, you can let Shunzi bring it over, anyway, I don't lack her cloth money, I don't take her any profit. Xiao Zheng saw that Zhou Bingrui agreed, so he continued: "This second thing is also very simple, Xiao Hai and Er Shunzi are blacksmiths who make farm tools, can you put these iron tools at the door of your shop to sell them at the door, this thing does not occupy your place, of course, it will not let you buy and sell, just put the things outside and sell them one piece, and Xiao Hai who can't be sold will bring them back." You are a businessman, if you make money, we, including Xiao Hai and you, will split the account fifty-fifty, and you and Xiao Hai will account for half, do you think it is good? ”。

Zhou Bingrui was stunned for a moment and said: "Mr. Xiaoxiao, this cloth business villain is absolutely no problem in Yushan County, the villain is really not good at selling ironware, because the villain has never done it, but then again, anyway, ironware doesn't take up much space, there is a small warehouse next to my shop, where the foot is wide, I will put it there to sell on the street, I will sell it if I want, and if no one wants me, I will put it there, anyway, the ironware will not be bad for a while." As for the matter of profit sharing, you have cured the villain's legs, if the villain is divided in half, then it is really not a person. You and I divide the account 28%, I account for 20%, and you account for 80%." Xiao Zheng secretly gave a thumbs up after hearing this, although Zhou Bingrui is a businessman, this character is not bad, the two discussed for a while, and finally set the profit at three or seven open, after the matter was finished, the husband and wife left four times of money and went back to the county with great gratitude.

Xiao Zheng handed the money left behind to Xiao Hai and said: "Brother Xiao, you can take this money back first, but you have to listen to this money clearly, how to spend it I will arrange, first, two times the money will be exchanged for rice and cloth for a few brothers, and don't forget to buy some for Lou's mother and son when dividing the money, so that everyone can have a better winter." The remaining two pieces of money have time to go to Yushan County and buy a few more jars of good wine to keep." Xiao Hai originally wanted to push the money, but when he heard Xiao Zheng arrange where the money went, he took it happily, and when he heard that Xiao Zheng asked them to take the money to buy wine, several people were even happier.

The howling north wind finally turned into heavy snow, and when I opened the door in the morning, the yard was already covered with a thick layer of snow. The snow is clear, the sun is sprinkled on the snow, reflecting a crystal clear light like a little silver dust, stepping on the snow creaks, pushing open the courtyard door to see that the distant mountains are already covered in silver, only a few green pines halfway up the mountainside, although the branches are pressed tightly by the heavy snow but still revealing the slightest green, some birds fly up on the branches, the snow falls flutteringly. The sun shone on the mountains, the mist steamed up and formed white clouds floating towards the mountains, and the looming peaks were like heavenly palaces.

As soon as the weather froze, Mr. gave the children a holiday to save the children from freezing. Heavy snow is a happy time for rich families, who can enjoy wine and poetry at home, but for most poor families, it is the beginning of suffering, to put it bluntly, it is to survive the winter. Fortunately, the family in Kamigawa Bay already has one or two warm ondols, which burn vigorously after the snow, and the family stays on the warm ondol to make this winter better. When Xiao Zheng swept the snow in the courtyard and walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw that some people in the village began to clean the snow on the street.

After clearing the snow and chatting with the neighbors, I saw a few people walking at the entrance of the village, and when I got closer, I saw that it was Xiao Hai carrying a roe deer on his shoulder, Dong Ershun picked two baskets, and put seven or eight jars of wine in them into the village. When Xiao Hai saw Xiao Zheng, he shouted with a smile: "Brother Xiao, Mr. and you have a good mouth today!" It snowed heavily this morning, a few of us were going to the mountains to catch a few hares, but we went into the mountains and saw a lost roe deer, such a big snow this idiot it can't run, was caught by a few of us, we didn't stop at this moment to Mr. and you brought it, we also brought wine, let's try it together, happy and happy! ”。

Xiao Zheng took the broom and said to Xiao Hai with a smile: "That's good, the first glance after the snow, it is indeed a good thing to have wine and meat today." After entering the yard and saying hello to Mr., a few men took off the skin of their robes after a while, cut a few large pieces and made two large pots of meat.

So he took out the fat on the meat separately and went into the kitchen, and saw that his mother and Jin'er were going to put the whole meat into the pot and cook it directly, so he stopped the two and said: "Mother, let the child come to cook this roe deer this time", Xiao's mother patted his hand and said: "Stay away, how can there be a man to cook in this world, and the gentleman will not scold you to death if he knows about it."

Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "I have a good way to make this meat more delicious, and I will cook for you and the two old men, and there is no shame in saying it." When the mother and son were arguing, they happened to be seen by Mr. Xiao, who smiled and said to Xiao's mother: "Let him come, I see what good things he can make today." So Xiao Zheng left Jin'er to work and wash the pot, Xiao Zheng went to the pharmacy to grab a pinch of cloves, cinnamon, and star anise, wrapped them in gauze, and found a few green onions. Placing the meat flat on the board, I saw Xiao Zheng carrying the knife like flying, and after a while, the meat of the roe deer was evenly cut into inches square by him with a knife. Jin'er saw that when he cut the meat, he had the momentum of cooking and dissolving the cow, and his eyes were straight. After the meat was cut, Jin'er asked Jin'er to heat the pot, and first threw the fat meat of the roe deer into the pot, and after a while, the oil came out of the meat after being heated. Bleached two bowls of grease, saw that the remaining oil was just right, fished out the oil residue in the pot, threw the green onion and ginger into the pot, and pushed the roe deer meat into the pot with a sneering sound, and added half a pot of water to fry the meat.
