Eighteen miles of road, there are ox carts, comfortable and comfortable in an hour to Xiji Town.

Seeing that Gui Chun had no head and was not annoyed and still had to inquire about the restaurant, Gui Chongyang persuaded: "Second Brother Qiu is here, isn't it more familiar than us in the town?" Or go directly to Second Brother Qiu. ”

Gui Chun hesitated: "This is the time to work, will Master Zhou not like it?" ”

When Zhang Da heard this, he also said: "Yes, if you cause trouble to Qiu'er, let's ask more." ”

Where is this problem that can be solved by asking more, if there is no suitable person, what should the other party do if the other party arbitrarily lowers the price?

As for the Zhou family, since they have the Gui family to marry, they also sent Zhou Lilac to the Gui family in the name of "making a banquet", so they should still be optimistic about the Gui family, and it should be okay to do a small favor.

Gui Chongyang hurriedly said: "If you don't look for Second Brother Qiu, I can't say that Master Zhou will be annoyed, what if Zhou's restaurant also wants wild boar?" ”

Gui Chun and Zhang Da thought about it, the Zhou family also opened a restaurant, but it was not good to cross the Zhou family and ask other restaurants first.

The ox cart drove to the wharf, and after a while, they arrived at the Zhou family's restaurant.

Today is not a market day, there is no noodle stall outside the restaurant, and because it is past lunch, there are no guests in the restaurant.

Master Zhou was resting in the hall, talking to Gui Qiu. Gui Qiu drooped his head, looking very unenergetic.

Gui Chun came in and looked at it, worried about whether there was anything wrong with his younger brother, and couldn't help but worry. Even Zhang Da was uncomfortable, thinking that it was not wrong.

Only Gui Chongyang didn't take the scene in front of him seriously. Whether it's a lesson or something else, if it weren't for Guiqiu's good, the master wouldn't have bothered to do it this week.

Gui Qiu is different from Gui Chun, he is more sleek and a little more cynical, and it is not a bad thing to have an experienced elder like Master Zhou to teach and guide him.

Master Zhou knew Gui Chun and Gui Chongyang, but he didn't hold it up, he stood up, but looked at Zhang Da. Looking at the age, this one should be an elder.

Gui Qiu had already come over with a little excitement: "Uncle Zhang, big brother, little Chongyang, why are you free?" Immediately, I remembered to introduce myself to the master: "Master, this is my neighbor's Uncle Zhang, who has always taken care of my family." He said to Zhang Dadao again: "Uncle Zhang, this is my master." ”

Naturally, the two elders had met, and Master Zhou beckoned everyone to sit down, and shouted to the back kitchen: "Girl, you're here, cut two plates of braised vegetables and come up." ”

Someone in the back kitchen responded crisply.

Zhang Da hurriedly said: "Master Zhou, don't Zhang Luo, just came out after lunch at home." ”

Gui Chun also said: "Yes, I just ate it, and I'm not hungry." ”

Gui Chongyang said: "Uncle Zhou, do you want wild boar, we caught two wild boars in the morning." ”

"Wild boar? It's not very common! But as long as the chef is not fond of ingredients, Master Zhou got up and said, "Can you bring it?" How big? ”

Gui Chongyang said: "It's outside, and it's the first time I've seen it, so I can't see how big it is." ”

Master Zhou hurriedly paced out, saw the ox cart, and opened it.

The big boar was afraid of hurting people, and killed with one blow; This small head didn't completely stop breathing until noon, and now it looks quite fresh.

Master Zhou looked at the teeth of the wild boar, nodded and said, "The little wild boar that is less than two years old is the time when the meat is chewy and not old. It's a pity that I'm angry, and if I had been drained alive, it would have tasted better. ”

Zhang Da, Gui Chun and others all followed, and when they heard Master Zhou's words, they also regretted it. Wild boars, live pigs and dead pigs are not the same price, they have not passed through, but they have heard of it; It's just that when I hunted this big thing in the morning, I was still a little panicked, and I was nervous, and I forgot about this stubble.

Master Zhou patted the wild boar and said, "It's not small, it has to be two hundred catties smaller, not two, what about that one?" ”

Zhang Dadao: "There are more than 30 people in the village, and the big one is divided into meat." ”

Master Zhou regretted: "It's a pity to eat it for nothing." Speaking of this, he paused and said: "The pork outside is seven or eight wen a catty, and the woolly pig is five wen a catty, this wild boar hairy pig will be counted according to seven wen, but it's a pity, if it is alive, it is worth it." ”

Although they couldn't keep it alive and sell it for ten yuan, Zhang Da and Gui Chun both felt pain, but both of them knew that seven wen was not low. The taste of wild boar meat is not as good as that of domestic pigs, and the meat will be 11 or 2 yuan per catty.

"That's it, wild boars are not common, and I took advantage of them and intercepted them first!" Master Zhou slapped his face and said.

Zhang Da and Gui Chun are still embarrassed. The countrymen are simple, for fear of taking advantage of them and affecting Guiqiu.

Although Gui Chongyang is small, he can see it clearly, and said: "This is Second Brother Qiu's master, and it is not someone else's family." ”

Master and apprentice are like father and son, not just for fun, but even more so in the reading and craft inheritance industry.

Zhang Da and Gui Chun went to carry the wild boar, and Gui Chongyang also stepped forward to take a hand, but was pushed away by Master Zhou: "You kid go to the side, don't press it." ”

Zhou Dingxiang had already brought out a few plates of braised vegetables, and stood at the door to greet Gui Chongyang: "Little San'er, come quickly." ”

Gui Chongyang walked over: "Sister Zhou, don't call me Xiaosan'er, call me Chongyang." ”

Zhou Dingxiang "haha" smiled: "Isn't your brother ranked third?" ”

This is the last time Gui Er's grandfather's house had a treat, and some villagers thought that "Chongyang" was awkward, so they directly called Gui Chongyang "little third son". There are only three of the two younger generations of the Gui family, and Gui Chongyang's cousins are ranked third, so it is not bad to call Gui Chongyang "Little San'er".

Gui's second grandfather and Gui Wu acquiesced to Gui Chongyang's title of "little third", and also told outsiders that although the two rooms are separated, they are a family, and they are also sheltering Gui Chongyang.

Gui Chongyang is not a fool, he is naturally appreciative, but the title of "little San'er" is really inexplicably sour.

Others don't know that this "little three" has ambiguity, but Gui Chongyang has heard "Dad" mention that this "little three" is not a good thing, and he has always been interested in provoking the feelings of other people, and he is a frivolous person who recruits cats and dogs, and his virtue is not good.

Seeing Gui Chongyang's little face squeezed, Zhou Dingxiang said: "Okay, I know that you don't love people to call you junior, my sister won't call you in the future, and I won't let others call you like this, okay?" ”

Gui Chongyang immediately opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Then thank you Sister Zhou." ”

While the two were talking, Master Zhou had already carried the wild boar to the back kitchen.

It was a hot summer day, and the wild boar meat had to be disposed of as soon as possible, so Master Zhou took it upon himself to split a wild boar.

The gross weight of the wild boar is one hundred and ninety-six catties, and one catty of seven cents is one thousand three hundred and seventy-two cents. The money has always weighed six catties and four taels, and these weighed eight or nine catties.

Although Zhang Da and Gui Chun tried their best to restrain themselves, they couldn't contain their joy. Zhang Da wants to divide it equally, how can Gui Chun be willing? In the end, the master and apprentice were divided into six or four.

This toss came to the afternoon (four o'clock in the afternoon).

Master Zhou and Gui Qiu both opened their mouths, and Zhang Da, Gui Chun, and Gui Chongyang were not polite, so they sat down and ate simply.

"I want to buy some vegetable oil and a few catties of rice." Everyone wants to return, Gui Chongyang said to Gui Chun.

Zhou Dingxiang came out with a cloth bag and said, "Why do you buy it outside?" There are all in the shop, knowing that you are a vegetarian, I have prepared it for you, here are two catties of vegetable oil, ten catties of rice, and two catties of fragrant dry, when you are hungry, fry a piece to eat to satisfy your hunger. ”

Gui Chongyang has been to Xiji Town several times, and he also knows the current prices, rice is two and a half pounds, vegetable oil is one pound and fifteen yuan, and high-quality fragrant dried rice is not much cheaper than pork.

At present, these are sixty or seventy things, how can Gui Chongyang be willing to accept them in vain? It's just that if the same price hurts Zhou Lilac's enthusiasm again, he happily accepts it and says, "Thank you, Sister Zhou, I have a recipe from the south over there, I don't cook, let Second Brother Qiu bring it to you next time." ”

Zhou Dingxiang listened, but she was not polite at all, and immediately said happily: "That relationship is good, I'll wait." ”

Gui Qiu sneered: "An ordinary book is only a few hundred texts, not to mention a good thing like a recipe, why do you have such a big face?" ”

Zhou Dingxiang pinched her waist and said: "Hmph, this is my brother, he gave it to me, why can't I continue?" ”

The two are fighting like children.

Gui Chun was afraid that Master Zhou would be unhappy, so he reprimanded Gui Qiu and said, "How can you speak? Didn't Chongyang also accept the things of the Zhou family's sisters? Don't say strange things! ”

Gui Qiu touched his nose, his face full of sneer.

Gui Chun went to see Master Zhou, and saw Master Zhou smiling and talking to Zhang Da, as if he didn't hear his daughter and apprentice arguing beside him.

Zhou Dingxiang said proudly Gui Guiqiu: "No big or small, according to the order of entry, you should call me senior sister, if you don't listen to me in the future, I will tell Brother Gui to go." ”

Gui Qiu rolled his eyes, but he didn't provoke Zhou Dingxiang again, and only said to Gui Chongyang: "You just sent one of the dozen boxes of books, and tomorrow sent one, and they were all tossed." You can take the time to copy a few recipes for your sister Zhou, and keep the original books for yourself, they are all heirlooms, and you can't lose the family. ”

Zhou Dingxiang also said: "You don't need to be original, I can put good books here, just copy a few recipes." I don't love anything else, I just love to ponder these things. ”

Gui Chongyang responded, since Gui Qiu said that the recipe can be passed down, then wait for the two of them to get married, if I remember correctly, that recipe is from the Yuan people, and it has indeed been some years so far.

There was money in the car, so if everyone didn't stay in the town, they went directly to the teahouse to pick up Gui Wu and his wife, but Gui Wu and his wife were not here, saying that they were going out to meet friends, and everyone drove the ox cart back to Mujia Village.
